Season 1

What happens when a skeptical Oregon native encounters a Sasquatch in broad daylight, just before an important job interview? In this mind-blowing episode, we speak with an individual who had an unforgettable Bigfoot sighting near Cottage Grove, Oregon. Her story takes us to a quiet gravel parking lot, a moment of unexpected terror, and the breathtaking encounter with a creature that unfolded in front of her like a towering tree. With vivid details of reddish fur, massive arms, and a gut-wrenching sense of dread, this episode explores what it’s like to see something truly unexplained — and the questions that linger long after the encounter. You’ll also hear about the eerie disappearances in Lane County, Missing 411, and the deep woods of Oakridge, Oregon, where Sasquatch sightings are more common than you might think.

You're listening in Bigfoot Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron Tonight's

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:06.040
story doesn't come from a season Bigfoot hunter or an outdoorsman.

3
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:08.800
It comes from Delanea, a woman who is just living

4
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:12.720
her life in the Cottage Grove, Oregon area, until one

5
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:16.399
fateful morning a massive sad squatch left her breathless with terror.

6
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:19.359
She didn't go looking for Bigfoot, but Bigfoot found her.

7
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:21.480
And this is the story of a sighting that changed

8
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:26.760
her life. So stay with us I Bigfoot Society. You've

9
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.640
got the privilege of talking to Delanea today. Delania is

10
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.240
a personal trainer that lives out there in Eugene, Oregon.

11
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.479
So welcome to the show. How's it going today, Delana?

12
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:38.159
Good?

13
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:42.640
Thanks for having me awesome. You know you had well.

14
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:44.439
First off, I just want to see you're from one

15
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:49.240
of my most favorite places in the US, which is

16
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.320
Lane County, Oregon. We were just talking about that, especially

17
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.920
eastern Lane County. I mean, you guys have all the

18
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.880
crazy bigfoot stuff. You got Oakridge and Caught Grove and

19
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:05.400
all that good stuff. So I'm definitely excited to have

20
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.560
you on the show today. Thank you for coming on.

21
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.359
But you know, Delaney. I want to make sure that

22
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.400
we have the time for you to share what it

23
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.640
is that you experienced the one day. And this is

24
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.159
kind of a definitely a unique encounter. I don't think

25
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.079
I've had an interview that was presented to me like

26
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.400
this when you reached out. So I'm going to say,

27
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.000
go ahead, feel free to take us back to the

28
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.200
day when you had this experience, and I'll let you

29
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:35.920
take him from here.

30
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.200
Okay, thanks. Well.

31
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.120
So in two thousand and eight, I was living in

32
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:47.280
College Grove with my boyfriend and I had I should

33
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.519
probably prefaced this like I grew up in Breebera in Oregon.

34
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:53.239
So I grew up in a suburb of Portland, and

35
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.560
so bigfootle to me was I was pretty gnostic about

36
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.200
the whole you know, subject, Like I didn't it, didn't know,

37
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.200
it didn't affect my life one one another, you know.

38
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.920
So seeing that, like in two thousand and eight, I

39
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.479
was living in Cottage Grove and I had an interview

40
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.560
at the golf club. Now Cottage Grove is south from Eugene,

41
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.560
and I would say the one, you know, major town

42
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.680
between Eugene and Cottage Grove is Cresswell, and there I

43
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.199
five is this like you know, major highway that runs

44
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:29.120
I think from I don't know the Alaskademam California or

45
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:33.680
something and and so and that goes you know through

46
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:37.319
I mean right along with these towns from Eugene and there.

47
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.800
But there are parallel roads that can parallel IPI that

48
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:45.039
can get you from Cottage Grove to Cresswell. And I

49
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:47.680
believe it's like the Dale Kuners Road, I think, but

50
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.439
I'm not gonna quote me on that, but there's a

51
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.240
parallel road that you can take Rowe River from Cottage

52
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:55.960
Grove parallel to I five north and hit Cresswell and

53
00:02:56.039 --> 00:03:00.000
so on that road was the golf club, which can

54
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.639
just basically like a driving range in nine holes right

55
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:03.639
in a clubhouse.

56
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.919
And it was like on the east side of the road.

57
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.919
And so I took and the golf club was like

58
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:13.360
across that two lane road, or the parking lot was

59
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:14.560
across the two lane road.

60
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:16.199
It was a gravel parking lot.

61
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.599
And so I guess, and you can you can see

62
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:21.520
on that parallel road and here like you can see

63
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.719
I five intermitutely, you know, and hear it definitely.

64
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:29.439
And so I took that road and drove from like.

65
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:33.759
Yeah, Cottage Grove to the Cold Club and and it

66
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.879
was probably like it was late September, like early October.

67
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.919
So it's ten three in the morning, and so.

68
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.000
There's still kind of like a haze before like it

69
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.400
burned off, if you know what I mean. And I

70
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.919
pulled into pulled into the gravel parking lot. I'm in

71
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:51.919
a in a range rover, okay, so I and my

72
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.560
boyfriend at the time was a hunter, and so it

73
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.479
was a you know, have racks on it on the front,

74
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:57.840
on the top. It was a kind of a.

75
00:03:57.639 --> 00:03:58.639
Beefed out car.

76
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.319
The reason I'm saying this will come in to play

77
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:05.479
in a minute. But and so I pull into this

78
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:07.879
graveled parking lot that's kind of pushed up on the knoll.

79
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.680
So from the gravel parking lot, which only had a

80
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.000
couple of cars, and at that time in the morning,

81
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:17.319
you can kind of look down onto the land that's

82
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.279
between the road and I five, and you can't really

83
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.000
see I five. From where I was in the parking lot.

84
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.120
You could kind of hear it. You could hear it actually,

85
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.120
but since it's pushed kind of on a on a

86
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.439
knoll the parking lot, you could see people's like plots.

87
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.680
Of land, you know, that are gated right, like big yards.

88
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.360
And I'm not talking to like a front yard. I'm

89
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:36.360
talking I don't like.

90
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.480
Half an acre or maybe the acre yards and houses.

91
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.160
And you could see you could see the gate, you know,

92
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:45.160
on a couple of and you could see I would

93
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.199
I assume is a creek or some kind of water

94
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.639
like stream or something that would go from that road

95
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.439
to I assume I five, because there was a tree

96
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:55.800
line that goes that was you know, a bunch of

97
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.360
what was like fir trees or you know, big big trees.

98
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.720
So I assume there's like instant water or there. And

99
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.639
then on like the east side, like where the actual

100
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.839
clubhouse was, it's like hills that are just trees all

101
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:10.600
the way to Pleasant Valley or a Pleasant hill and

102
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:14.639
then all the way to Oak Ridge. And so so

103
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:16.560
I'm getting out of the it's like ten thirty in

104
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:17.920
the morning, and I'm getting out of the land River,

105
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.120
and I have my resume in my hand because I'm

106
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:21.839
going there for a job interview. If I tell you

107
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:23.759
that I'm going to maybe that's also important.

108
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:25.839
And I closed the.

109
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.279
Door behind me, and I you know, when you just

110
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:29.560
kind of get out of your car and close the door,

111
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.439
and you sweep your eyes to sweep across, you know,

112
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.720
as you turn or wherever you're going. Well, I I

113
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.120
swept across and there is this fir tree I thought

114
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.199
was a fur tree stand up.

115
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:41.759
It doubled in size.

116
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.759
And if it hadn't done that at that second, I

117
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.319
would have never seen it. I would have never seen

118
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.160
it because it was so well camouflaged. Would have not

119
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.439
And so I remember seeing this thing like stand up

120
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.680
like I would say, nine ten feet and it was

121
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:56.639
probably about fifty to seventy yards away from me, and

122
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:57.199
I just.

123
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:58.480
Remember to this moment.

124
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:03.120
I can remember, uh my breath like sucking in, like

125
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:07.560
you know, like just like what is that? That's that's

126
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:09.519
what my mind was thinking, like so Fe's like what

127
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:09.920
is that?

128
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:11.439
Like what the f is that? You know?

129
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.680
Because it was so massive, I couldn't under I didn't

130
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:14.639
understand what I was seeing.

131
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.680
I didn't get it. And this terror that I felt.

132
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.040
I've been in a lot of scary situations in my life,

133
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.959
some pretty the life writing like, but nothing compared. I've

134
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:25.839
never felt that before then and ever since then, this

135
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:31.399
gut to the soul tiar of like what is I

136
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.519
what is that? It's like I didn't understand. I didn't

137
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.000
understand how something can be that big. And as I'm

138
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.439
looking in and this is just probably nan I second,

139
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.399
I don't even know, but it felt like a little

140
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:45.639
longer leg than that, you know, like I see these

141
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.959
arms like on the each side of it, like hanging

142
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.319
down pretty low like I would see it. The knees

143
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:55.399
are below maybe, And I remember that the fur on

144
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:59.240
the outer was darker than the fur in the on

145
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.040
the face, like the fur like where you're you know,

146
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.639
the eyes, and that was more like reddish, like a

147
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:05.600
ranting fur.

148
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.959
In the fur around that it was seemed darker. I

149
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:09.839
didn't take that, I mean.

150
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:11.319
Because that's as most as I got from the time

151
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.000
that I was willing to look at that. So I

152
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.439
remember seeing that and just thinking what is that and

153
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.639
then feeling at the same time feeling is just terror

154
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:24.319
like terror, and thinking to myself, oh, this land roard

155
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:25.800
was not gonna do this, is not gonna do it,

156
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.160
like I dope, and thinking at the same time that

157
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.480
thing can get that thing should be here already, like

158
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:32.360
that's how big this thing.

159
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:33.639
This thing can could just go over these fins.

160
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.680
I could just walk over and then fight or flight,

161
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.240
like booking it, just slamming her and.

162
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:40.279
Booking it across.

163
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.600
And it wasn't very far, like across this.

164
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:45.240
Two lane road to the clubhouse, but I booked it.

165
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.519
And I'm thinking the whole time I had this feeling

166
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:51.040
of just wrap like, oh, this thing's gonna I know it.

167
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.879
This thing is probably right behind me. This just d

168
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:58.120
red care of like and and just nothing. It didn't

169
00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:59.720
grab me, but I just in my head, I just

170
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.120
felt like, oh no, I'm done. I'm done, yep. And

171
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:04.519
I get into this clubhouse and I remember like closing

172
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.720
the door and looking around this place and thinking, oh,

173
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:08.079
this is.

174
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:08.600
Not big enough.

175
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:10.879
Yep, this isn't gonna do it, and asking and there's

176
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:12.319
only a couple of employees in there, because it was

177
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:13.160
like ten thirty in the morning.

178
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:14.800
Does anyone have a gun? Now?

179
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:17.920
Never would you hear these words going on in my

180
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.759
mouth much less than before an interview, like that's just

181
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:22.720
why would I that's crazy talk?

182
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:23.399
Right?

183
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:27.319
But here I am asking and telling there's something out there.

184
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.759
There's something out there, you know. So we go back

185
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.000
an employee and I like the person that did my interview,

186
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:33.799
and I went across to the parking lot and there's

187
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.720
nothing there, Like there's trees, but not that tree, and

188
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.200
I you know, and that's like and I'm trying to

189
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:40.440
tell him, no, there was something.

190
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:45.120
There, man, Like I didn't get that job. But I

191
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.879
was scared enough to go all.

192
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:49.399
The way to I five and take I five home.

193
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:51.919
And I was scared. And I remember calling my boyfriend

194
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:53.759
telling him this, and he's like, oh, yeah, you saw

195
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.120
a bigfoot and he was he was a big hunter.

196
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.159
And I'm thinking, what, so bigfoots are like a thing?

197
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.120
Like it's a thing, right, Like that's a thing, you know.

198
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.039
I thought they like, I mean the way out there.

199
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.559
But and he and him and his family were pretty.

200
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.519
Nonchalant, like, yeah, they're out there. That's that's the thing.

201
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:09.519
We just co exist, we do.

202
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.120
You know, that's it.

203
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:16.200
And and uh and so yeah, that's uh, that's kind

204
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.559
of like the my experience.

205
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:18.919
I guess.

206
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.519
I mean, I've never I've never felt anything like that

207
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:25.600
after I'm you'll never I mean throughout my life, Like

208
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:27.639
when I reflect on it, I'd think, did I make

209
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:29.120
that up in my head? Like maybe I'm on deep

210
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:31.159
of my head, but I didn't make What keeps me

211
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:32.840
in check is that feeling of terror.

212
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:35.480
That was the feeling of terror. Like I don't even understand.

213
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:36.720
I don't even understand that feeling.

214
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.840
That was real, you know, So even if I second

215
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:42.840
guess what I saw, which I I really I don't really,

216
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:44.960
but like, but let's say I do that, that'll keep

217
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:45.440
me in check.

218
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.279
And yeah, so that's it.

219
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.159
I don't know, like that is incredible. Was that your

220
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.799
first interaction with a Bigfoot? Do you think?

221
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.440
Yeah? And I'm half Sue, so I don't know know

222
00:09:58.480 --> 00:09:58.679
if that.

223
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:00.240
I mean, some people like, oh your name you have

224
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:01.879
Native like you know, and I'm like, I don't know

225
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:04.919
if that has anything to do with it. But yeah,

226
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.559
that was my first and to my knowledge, only interaction

227
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:11.360
that I have like had that was clear, you know,

228
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:12.519
because there's no mistake than that.

229
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:14.440
Whatever that was, it was huge.

230
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.279
It was massive, freaking massive.

231
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.120
Man, I don't know, I don't understand.

232
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:21.240
You said you were half Native American?

233
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:24.200
Yeah, yeah, do you.

234
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:27.039
Know specifically what tribal background you have?

235
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:28.519
Yeah?

236
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:30.000
Four peck out of Montana.

237
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.480
Okay, Yeah, I'm Sue.

238
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:34.279
But I was telling me like a boyfriend the time,

239
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.039
and I'm kind of reflecting on it later, he was like, well,

240
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:37.320
you're half native, you know.

241
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:38.480
He's like, I've been hunting with.

242
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:40.000
A lot of need friends, you know, and they seem

243
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:41.919
too like he had a lot more experiences with it

244
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:43.080
like it than I did.

245
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.240
But I was so like because to me, it didn't

246
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:51.600
it didn't really rosky, it didn't really like it didn't really.

247
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.600
Like affect my life after in the sense of it

248
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:56.120
didn't like I said camping, it doesn't.

249
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:56.799
It didn't.

250
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.919
I wasn't more scared of being out in nature than

251
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.480
I was before, but I was fifty to seventy five

252
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:04.960
yards away from that. If I was closer, I would

253
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.399
have probably crapped my pants because I was there was

254
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:08.080
no didn't.

255
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:11.320
I was super scared.

256
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.960
I mean, I don't even know scared encompasses what I felt.

257
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.879
Oh absolutely. And so it sounds like you were able

258
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:20.759
to have a good look at its face for at

259
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:22.320
least a few seconds, right.

260
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:24.840
Well, I mean I don't know what a good look is.

261
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.480
I mean, I yeah, I saw the face. I saw

262
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:30.600
that the fur around the face was darker than the

263
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.200
fur in the face, if that makes sense. I mean, like,

264
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.879
you know, like the immediate fur like that was behind

265
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:38.639
the eyes or around the eyes, and like the nose

266
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.120
in the mouth that was reddish and the fur around

267
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:42.039
that was darker.

268
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:43.440
And then it.

269
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:45.879
Was dark almost like I don't I don't even know,

270
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:46.480
like I would.

271
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:49.519
Say super dark brown or possibly you know, dark enoughore.

272
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:51.080
I thought it was a tree right.

273
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:55.600
And with a trunk until it unfolded, you know, so

274
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.799
like pretty dark and the arms with yeah, they could

275
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:01.200
you can see the arms because it kind of bull

276
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:02.799
legged from the body, if that makes sense.

277
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:04.559
I don't know if that makes you know. They weren't

278
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:06.639
hand in straight like compressed.

279
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:09.159
They were kind of out and you could see that

280
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.440
you could see the hands kind of or whatever.

281
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:17.279
It was go below lake to the second part of

282
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:20.360
the leg. That makes sense. It went down and I

283
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:21.320
remember think it.

284
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:25.240
Were you able to see it actually walk away?

285
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:29.600
Then no, I bailed. I bailed way before that. I

286
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:30.759
don't even know what helped.

287
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.720
Yeah, I mean I just remember turning seeing the thing unfold,

288
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:36.960
looking at it for a nano second and saying, oh

289
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:37.399
what you know?

290
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:43.519
So saying seeing it unfold is a really really interesting

291
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:49.480
way to put that is, have you used that description

292
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:52.200
because of a certain way it was moving when it

293
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:53.000
stood up.

294
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.399
Well, I mean the tree unfolded. I can't. It's not

295
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:00.039
like I don't remember.

296
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.080
Seeing it like being nil down and and like you

297
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:05.000
know what I'm saying standing up, But again like I

298
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:06.639
wasn't aware that I had to pay that.

299
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:08.399
Much of attention at that moment, you know what I'm saying,

300
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:09.720
Like I just was sweeping around.

301
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.159
All I remember is this tree unfolding.

302
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.519
Like suddenly one part of the tree extended and became

303
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:19.679
two longer parts of the tree, right it Like It'm

304
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.159
like you know what I'm I don't know if I'm

305
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:26.399
describing this right, No, No, you're good. Yeah, And then arms

306
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.519
can't I mean as it unfolded, then as I'm looking

307
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:29.759
at it unfolded standing up.

308
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:31.639
Then you can see these you know, the legs and.

309
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.799
The arms and then and this will happen like at once,

310
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:39.440
right like boom boom, Like I don't know how long

311
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.919
the actual seconds were, but well that and.

312
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:47.279
It's It's the other crazy thing about it is that

313
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.600
you're not just parking a car. Your mindset is Okay,

314
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.759
it's game time. I'm gonna be interviewed. Here's all the

315
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:57.000
questions they're probably gonna ask me. I'm ready for this,

316
00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:03.120
so you're you're not prepared mentally to take in something

317
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:06.000
like this, which is fifty to seventy five feet away,

318
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:09.039
a tree that turned you know, what you think is

319
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:12.080
a tree, but it's actually a sasquatch your yards.

320
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:15.480
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, seventy five feet that I

321
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.080
don't even know what that would look look like.

322
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:21.519
Absolutely, you know, yeah, I wasn't. That's the thing. That's

323
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:24.879
why I think it's interesting. It's because it's like, I.

324
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:27.320
Mean, I listened to your podcast and I hear, you know,

325
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.039
people talk about it sometimes and like some people get

326
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.000
really into it, right, and I get that to me,

327
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.759
that was so incidental, Like that's what makes it so

328
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.039
like like to other people and I tell them, like

329
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:39.679
this didn't turn my life one way or another.

330
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:43.399
It affected me, but like, there's.

331
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:45.559
No way I'm gonna make this up, right, because that's

332
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:49.759
how incidental at that moment before it became something of matter,

333
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:50.919
if that makes sense.

334
00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:51.759
You know, I was.

335
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:53.360
There for an interview. I wasn't there for You're right,

336
00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:55.519
I wasn't in that mindset. And that's what makes it

337
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:57.679
so odd to me that like I wasn't there to

338
00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:59.440
go out and one day on or research and talk

339
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:02.000
about her or you know, I was there for a

340
00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:05.919
totally different thing, and that's you know, so yeah, seeing

341
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:08.279
that is like why would that happen?

342
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:10.039
Why? Why? Why would that?

343
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:14.360
Obviously it's why would it stand up right then? Like

344
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.840
sometimes they questioned that, like why because it it seemed

345
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:20.639
like if it had that much stealf to get there,

346
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:22.320
and I don't know why it was to me, I'm like,

347
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:23.480
are they that close? I five?

348
00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:26.960
I mean there's a but didn't I hear different.

349
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:30.320
Theories on this stasquatch new and which means you know

350
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.200
that I believe it's a little more plausible than just

351
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.039
saying it's a it's a just.

352
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.000
A purely physical creature. I don't believe that.

353
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.039
But I'm not really I'm not a research or anything either,

354
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:42.039
But I just don't see how.

355
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:43.440
It could be anything but.

356
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:49.919
Uh, you know, supernatural, I guess, or phenomenal, you know,

357
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:53.799
because it doesn't make I mean I didn't smell any smells.

358
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:54.480
I didn't.

359
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.360
I didn't, I didn't you know here need I mean,

360
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.000
I was a listening for wooden or anything. But if

361
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:00.840
something happen, all I.

362
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:02.919
Know is this tree. Yeah, it was unfolded and it

363
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:06.360
was weird because to me, I was like, well, does

364
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.120
this have meaning? Is it the post? Maybe? You know,

365
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:11.759
it was the scariest thing I've ever seen them until

366
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:12.000
I live.

367
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:16.679
I don't know if you've seen one, but well, I

368
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:18.080
mean it's not supposed to exist.

369
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:19.080
It's not supposed to.

370
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:21.679
Well, so we're gonna we're gonna actually talk about that

371
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:29.399
right now because I want to clarify another thing that

372
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:32.639
you've you've been saying. So when you first saw it

373
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:35.559
and you're like, that's a fir tree, did it actually

374
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:38.000
look like a tree or is it because you weren't

375
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.120
expecting there to be a huge, hairy thing there and

376
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:43.600
your mind was like, oh, it's a tree.

377
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:45.200
Here's a see.

378
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:47.759
Since it was late September early October, I kind of

379
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:50.320
saw the rusty League kind of the I guess I

380
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.679
feel lead it with the brain, I don't know, camouflaged

381
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:55.919
so well that when my eyes sweep right, I'm not

382
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:56.879
distinguishing anything.

383
00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:57.919
I just think of all fir trees.

384
00:16:58.000 --> 00:16:58.080
Right.

385
00:16:58.080 --> 00:16:59.240
I get out of the car, I close the door.

386
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:00.840
I'm like, oh, yeah, there's a trees down there.

387
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.559
As I'm getting my resume in my hands, shutting the door, right,

388
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:06.079
or before something just grabbing it and then sweeping as

389
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.279
I shut the door, and then I see this, right,

390
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.640
this thing, this fir tree just unfold because it was

391
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:13.960
nestled within fur trees, right that we're going along this

392
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:16.559
line of what I assume is a creek, right, because

393
00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:19.799
there was yards and there's sprinkles, a smatter of trees,

394
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:23.160
but this was a clear line of trees, right that

395
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:24.759
came down and I seem go to all the way

396
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:26.720
go to I five. You couldn't see I five, but

397
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:29.200
you could hear it, you know, on the side, and

398
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:30.599
so I just assumed, oh, that's gotta be a.

399
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:34.440
Creek or a stream. I mean, I'm not a forestry person.

400
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:36.079
But I you know, because it just sad. Why wouldn't

401
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:37.240
there be large trees anywhere else?

402
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:37.599
Right?

403
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:39.519
But you know, I mean there are smattering of them,

404
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:40.960
but not like how it seems. So maybe they're getting

405
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:44.519
next to water. I don't know, but yeah, I didn't.

406
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:46.200
I assumed it was a tree because it was within

407
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.480
this line of trees, you know. So and then when

408
00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:54.200
I saw the tree unfold and become twice now again,

409
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:56.440
I'm fifty to seventy five yards away, so I'm looking

410
00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:58.839
down on a kind of slight up from a point

411
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:02.160
looking down right, not super up, but like because I'm

412
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:03.839
the parking wants on a noll where I pushed up

413
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:06.359
with a mounted for whatever. So it's kind of looking

414
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:09.519
down on perspective and seeing it three double its size

415
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:11.279
or size and a half of that size.

416
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:12.640
And then as it's.

417
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:16.240
Unfolding and standing up, I'm seeing then oh wait, it's

418
00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:17.839
got arms on it, you know, And this is like

419
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.960
happening instant, like you know, like what is it?

420
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:22.480
What is that? You know?

421
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:25.759
And then seeing the reddish fur and the darker fur

422
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:28.799
which covered its body, but you could see the arms

423
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:32.039
because they were a little bull legged to the body.

424
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:35.680
You know. If that makes any sense, I'm not real.

425
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:41.039
It absolutely does to answer the question that you had earlier.

426
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:48.319
So the one, the one thing that comes close to

427
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:52.440
a visual is when I was in Oak Ridge last July.

428
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:58.079
Do you know where Hills Creek Reservoir is down there?

429
00:18:58.519 --> 00:18:58.759
Yep?

430
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:01.319
Yeah, So you know how there's that road that's like

431
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:05.480
north of the reservoir and you can drive down it forever. Yeah,

432
00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:09.319
So I was driving down there the last night before

433
00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:12.680
I flew back, and I was physically i'd had a

434
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:14.119
lot of things happen. I had to go to the

435
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:18.440
hospital for my legs and all that jazz, and so

436
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:20.599
I was like, you know, forget this, I'm just going

437
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:22.880
to get a burger and go out and eat at

438
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:25.680
a boat ramp or whatever and see what's out there. So,

439
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:31.480
as I was driving, a gentleman at the festival had said, hey,

440
00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:33.880
if you're wanting to see one, just saying your mind,

441
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.240
I'm ready to see one pretty much, right, seems easy.

442
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:42.759
So as I'm driving along, I was like, you know what, whatever,

443
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:45.720
and in my mind I said, I'm ready to see one.

444
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:50.960
The second afterwards, I'm driving by a pine tree that

445
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:56.359
has covered with vines on the front of it, and there's,

446
00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:58.839
no joke, a silhouette of a seven to eight foot

447
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:01.799
tall sasquatch and that's which is like I can't even

448
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:04.680
I can't even say it without laughing, like laughing because

449
00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:07.640
I'm just like it sounds crazy, right, And then all that,

450
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.839
like half a second later, it just disappears, like the

451
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:18.759
silhouette disappears and it's just fine. And yeah. So when

452
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:21.920
I heard yours, I was like, oh, that's kind of weird, right, So.

453
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:23.680
Right, I me mean, I don't.

454
00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:26.799
I have a lot of friends on the oakriage and

455
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:29.079
and then her for oal courage, and I mean a

456
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:30.880
few friends, you know, and they have had their own

457
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.240
experiences up there, like you know, I had a friend

458
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.119
and she she has her family has a bunch of

459
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:41.440
private land up there, and she and her boyfriend when

460
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:43.920
are camping on the land, like in its private. So

461
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:45.480
there's no one else on there, right, she knows this

462
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:46.279
for a fact.

463
00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:48.640
And some bipedal.

464
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:50.880
Thing walked by their tent, and she said, in the

465
00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:53.720
stench that she had, she's like, it was just horrific.

466
00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:57.279
And we saw this thing walk by and then walk

467
00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:59.519
by again and brush up against the tent and and

468
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:02.720
uh she said they were scared craft lids they had guns.

469
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:03.400
But she's like, we just.

470
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:04.839
Sat in the tent and freaked it out, and you know,

471
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:06.519
and the wait until daylight and then booked.

472
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:06.720
It out there.

473
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:08.519
She told it, you know, our family about it. I

474
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:10.640
don't happen, you know, But there's a lot of stuff

475
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:12.640
that I understand that happens at no Gridge and.

476
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:16.240
Just around like I mean from here also to the beach,

477
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:18.920
you know, Florence and back there.

478
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:20.359
I think there's some people I don't know.

479
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:21.960
It doesn't look in Pacific Northwest.

480
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:24.680
It's like, I mean, it seems to be a pretty

481
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:28.359
acceptable thing the way, you know, the attitude.

482
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:29.839
That I kind of got it, Like people don't.

483
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:32.440
Think people are are crazy here. It's just yeah, they exist,

484
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:34.000
We co exist with them.

485
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:34.079
You know.

486
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:39.160
I mean, like, I haven't talked to my tribe about

487
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:41.839
this because it's just it just hasn't come up. It's

488
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:43.640
not in the conversations or when I, you know, go

489
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:44.680
there because I don't live there.

490
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:46.000
You know, it's just and I should.

491
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:47.200
Bring it up because I don't know what our take

492
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:48.880
is on it. You know, I don't know what the

493
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:53.440
Sioux has on it. And that sounds really horrible. Yeah.

494
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:55.839
I mean if I was in your if I was

495
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.680
in your position and having that heritage, I would definitely

496
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:03.119
say yes, go for I'd be so interested, you know,

497
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:08.720
to see what. Yeah, but you know Gradu exactly. So

498
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:14.039
let's get back to to your encounter a little bit. Okay,

499
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:18.960
So you pretty much kicked on the door and you're like, hey,

500
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:23.079
where's the gun. I'm in trouble, what's what's the Well

501
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:24.720
not really I kind of made that a little bit,

502
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:25.640
you know, I can't.

503
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:27.359
But that's really literally in my head.

504
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:31.319
Yeah, So what was the reaction of the people that

505
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:34.039
were in there, like, oh, there's another person saw sasquatch

506
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:37.599
and they went crazy or like like where they just

507
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:38.599
freaked out as well.

508
00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:42.039
Well, there's like two employson there. I think one was

509
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:43.319
like I think it.

510
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:46.039
Like one was in like the one was like a

511
00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:48.160
golfer like, you know, because they were dressing you know,

512
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:50.039
a golf pro like flax and stuff.

513
00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:52.440
And the other was it manager because they were interviewing me.

514
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:55.079
So it was in there literally running in there right

515
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:56.799
ten thirty in the morning, so it's not crowded, right,

516
00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:59.000
And I'm I don't there's the only two in there,

517
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:00.720
and I'm slam to be I mean, and I'm like

518
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:03.440
there's I'm thinking in my head as I look around, Oh,

519
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:04.920
this is not this place isn't big enough. This is

520
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:06.640
not going to do it, you know, And that's when

521
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:08.680
I yeah, does the wone have a gun? And I'm like,

522
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:10.960
there's something There's something out there because they're looking at

523
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:12.319
me like what I'm like, listen.

524
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:13.359
There's there's something huge out there.

525
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:15.759
There's some I saw something out there. There's something out there,

526
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:18.519
and the person that was interviewing me walks with me

527
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:19.599
and said, no, we don't have a gun.

528
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:22.039
I'm like, dude, I wouldn't go back out there alone.

529
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:24.079
I'm like, you have to, I'm not. I'm parked out there, man,

530
00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:26.279
I you know, and I'm I'm.

531
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:28.519
Realizing as i'm I realized this before I even asked that,

532
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:30.880
Like this is pre interview, like what what?

533
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:31.160
What?

534
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:33.720
This is ridiculous, like like I sound crazy, Like I

535
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:35.640
sound like I'm crazy person asking if anyone has a gun.

536
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:37.160
You would never hear those words come out of my

537
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:40.799
mouth in general, you know, much less before a job

538
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:43.920
that I want to get, you know. So that's how

539
00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:46.880
scared I was. Is I don't think I've ever uttered

540
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:49.039
those words since then? Does an't want to have a gun?

541
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:50.319
I don't think that's ever come out of my.

542
00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:50.960
Mouth since then.

543
00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:54.359
That's in that that's how scared of I was, and

544
00:23:54.400 --> 00:24:00.480
that's I mean, that's the terror I anyway, Yeah, I wasn't.

545
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:03.359
I mean, that's not where my go to is. You know,

546
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:04.240
you don't have a gut.

547
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:04.799
I've never been.

548
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:06.680
Put in that situation where I've even had to see that,

549
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:08.599
you know, but here we.

550
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:10.799
Are, right, this is where my mind because we'ren't fighting flight.

551
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:12.640
That's I mean, I never really understood fight and flight

552
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:14.839
until that moment I saw that. When I saw that,

553
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:16.759
di's a gut checked terror. I don't know if you

554
00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:19.119
felt it, but there was some kind of terror. That's

555
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:22.160
this dread, you know, like when you get past the

556
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:23.599
what is that is?

557
00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:26.359
I don't understand. My mind can't wrap my around what

558
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:28.480
I'm seeing because it's so huge.

559
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:31.720
It's so massive that I can see it from my

560
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:32.799
point of view.

561
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.519
It is so big that there's no way you couldn't

562
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:38.039
see it.

563
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:40.079
As in now that I know what it is, you know,

564
00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:43.480
like when I saw it unfold, I didn't know a

565
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:49.640
tree like, well, we're at a new heights here, Okay,

566
00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:52.359
this is a lot taller great, you know, And it

567
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:56.519
scared me so bad because even when I asked for

568
00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:58.759
a gun, like, I don't know what could possibly defend

569
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:02.240
you against that except me, I mean a ball, I

570
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:04.000
don't even know. I didn't even know, Like, I don't

571
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:05.680
think there's a gun that's gonna take something like that

572
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:06.680
down in one shot.

573
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:08.960
And I'm not I'm not an territory kind of person.

574
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:09.279
I don't know.

575
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:11.119
Maybe if you did it like I don't know, and

576
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:13.119
I don't I'm not down for that. That's not what

577
00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:15.240
I'm saying. I'm saying that in the aspect of that's

578
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.200
how big it is. That's how big it was to me, Like, yeah,

579
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:20.440
this isn't like a this isn't a bear, this is

580
00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:23.359
not this far exceed the height of a bear. And

581
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:27.839
the massive I don't I know, I can. I it

582
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:29.920
was massive, and I think that I've only used that

583
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:31.480
term in relative.

584
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:34.200
To boats or chips. Right, that's how big it was.

585
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:36.279
And the people I remember, the people there, they didn't

586
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:38.039
think I was super I mean, the person that interviewed

587
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:40.960
me was like, came with me because that's how freaked

588
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:43.240
out I was out to that parking lot and it

589
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:45.759
wasn't there anymore. And then you know, of course they

590
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.839
did the interview, but they I mean, I mean I

591
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:49.480
was in such.

592
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:52.160
A state like I wasn't crying or but.

593
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:55.640
I was just in a what I couldn't it wouldn't mattered,

594
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:57.000
you know what I'm saying, Like my mind was in

595
00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:57.880
a different like what is that?

596
00:25:57.920 --> 00:25:58.240
What was this?

597
00:25:58.440 --> 00:26:01.440
So let's let's talk about that hypothetically for a second.

598
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:05.799
So I'm trying to put myself in the owner or

599
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:09.279
the interviewer's shoes someone, and do not take any of

600
00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:12.319
this personally. Okay, So someone comes into my establishment and

601
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:14.359
they're like, I saw a bigfoot, get a gun. I'm

602
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:17.759
going to say, get out of my place. I'm calling

603
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:20.240
the police, right, I want you out of here. But

604
00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:23.200
they were like they took it seriously, and they're like, okay,

605
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:26.759
let's go look at it. That kind of makes me wonder, oh,

606
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.559
do they know something too, and they're like, oh, it's

607
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:32.119
happening again. I don't know, that's kind of a hypothetical.

608
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:36.279
But no, yeah, no, I mean okay, So from that standpoint, yeah,

609
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:38.759
I mean the person there were two people.

610
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:40.000
In there, the person that came outy that did in

611
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:42.200
the interview. For me, this isn't like they didn't seem

612
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:42.759
phased by it.

613
00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:45.039
I mean they walked, you know, I mean they they

614
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:46.519
didn't say what do you need to call on one?

615
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:47.440
What do you mean? What's out there?

616
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:50.319
You know, like because normally I think people would have said,

617
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:51.000
I'm called the cops.

618
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:51.920
Who this, I don't.

619
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:54.160
Care, you know, just stay in here, right, But they didn't.

620
00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:56.000
This person was like, Okay, let's go check it. Out,

621
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:58.000
you know, walking through that. So it seemed rather in

622
00:26:58.079 --> 00:27:01.039
a normal like you know when and when I mentioned

623
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:02.680
it to my boyfriend, he was like, oh, yeah, he

624
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:05.880
saw Bigfoot and he hunts like he he at that time,

625
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:08.039
he was a huge hunter and his whole family would

626
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:09.920
take weeks and go in Oregon you know, and go

627
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:13.240
hunt like and I'm like, it was so casual about it,

628
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:15.160
his whole family. I mean that's really like I'm like, oh,

629
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:17.880
you see what this is a thing, like so big fit.

630
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:19.200
They're just they're.

631
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:21.640
Here, right because I always thought that they were out

632
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:24.359
there never I mean what you know.

633
00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:26.960
And uh And he was like, yeah, yeah, they're here.

634
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:29.160
You know that I've always known it. You know.

635
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:31.119
I don't even know if he added stories of his own.

636
00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:32.559
I mean, he had experience of his own. But I

637
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:34.119
don't think that I was any kind of mindset to'll

638
00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:36.480
listen to it because I I didn't understand like how

639
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:38.799
this could be such a casual thing, right, but here,

640
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:41.640
like it is a casual thing, you know in the

641
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:43.759
county with Oak Creek. You know, it's a super because

642
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:46.200
I think people believe like they exist, we exist, that's

643
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:47.759
just how we rolled, you know, like we're not trying

644
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:49.799
to mess with them. They're not trying to I mean,

645
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:51.759
my my boyfriend at that time was a huge hunter.

646
00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:53.319
He was like, Hey, I'm gonna go bag one of them.

647
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:54.880
That's not where his mindset was.

648
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:55.359
You know.

649
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:57.319
His mindset was like, Yeah, they're there and we're here,

650
00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:59.079
and that's how. That's it.

651
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:02.839
It's wild. I mean, listeners won't get it unless you

652
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:07.480
go out there and you experienced talking to locals and

653
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:09.960
you're like, Okay, I get it. Like every everyone has

654
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:11.799
had something happen and they're like, what evs.

655
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:17.599
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's uh, you know, I think

656
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:19.559
it's it is. I've had a I mean a lot

657
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:21.359
of people I've talked to here, like I mean that

658
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:24.079
I have friends and they're that I've talked to about it.

659
00:28:24.119 --> 00:28:26.240
They're like, yeah, I've said my sighting.

660
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:29.279
You know, it seems to be a lot of sightings maybe.

661
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:29.920
In this area.

662
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:31.880
I don't see why they wouldn't be, you know, especially

663
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:34.000
from here to Florence. You know, there's a lot of signings.

664
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:35.880
There's a lot of I mean, the woods they're deep woods.

665
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:38.079
If you go about Oak Ridge, they're deep woods, you.

666
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:41.119
Know, I mean those those what's going forever. I mean,

667
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:41.839
you could go on forever.

668
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:43.599
Tall of out hood and that whole are you know,

669
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:46.720
I mean, And so I mean, I think it was

670
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:48.359
pretty cool, Like I'll never forget. I didn't know it

671
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:51.880
was such a rarity to see one honestly until I

672
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:53.559
you know, I was talking about it. And it wasn't

673
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:54.960
that I didn't talk about it for a long time.

674
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:57.400
It was just pretty incidental in my life, you know, like, hey,

675
00:28:57.440 --> 00:28:58.240
I still camp out.

676
00:28:58.319 --> 00:28:58.559
I don't.

677
00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:01.359
I'm not scared, but it didn't hinder me. Frankly, the

678
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:03.759
four one one missing thing frightens me more being out

679
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.319
nature than Bigfoot does. And I don't know if they're

680
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:10.960
correlated or not, you know, but I mean that that

681
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:13.880
is a phenomenon that scares me way more than hiking

682
00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:14.759
by myself out there.

683
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:18.759
Then you know, then rolling into Bigfoot.

684
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:21.160
I feel like that bigfoot could have killed me if

685
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.039
it wanted to. If it wanted to, it could have.

686
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:25.279
It could have got to me in in another second.

687
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:27.200
It would have taken nothing but three or four strides

688
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:29.839
for that thing to get to where I was. I mean,

689
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:31.799
and I often think like did it see me?

690
00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:32.559
It had to see me?

691
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:36.759
I saw it, right, there's no way, like, why would

692
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:38.400
it do it at that exact moment it could have

693
00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:40.680
I don't know. I don't know, you know, I don't

694
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.079
know if there was a meaning behind that, if there wasn't,

695
00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:45.960
it's just I just I've never seen anything that huge

696
00:29:46.039 --> 00:29:50.079
in my whole entire life. I didn't think think things

697
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:53.160
could get that big alive, you know, I didn't understand.

698
00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:56.160
I don't understand how big. I mean, it was probably

699
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:57.359
like nine nine feet tall.

700
00:29:57.400 --> 00:29:59.039
And I just don't want to say how I could

701
00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:01.839
get that huge, you know, and silent, I guess. I mean,

702
00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:02.240
I don't know.

703
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:05.559
You would assume something would make pretty loud noise right

704
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:08.559
to get to. I mean I was sitting in my

705
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:11.000
car for a moment, right, like sitting my resume together,

706
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:11.680
you know, before I.

707
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:16.119
Got out of the rover. I mean, I don't know.

708
00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:16.960
There's I five by it.

709
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:19.119
That's pretty loud. I don't know, I don't know.

710
00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:21.960
You could have been a more round. I just remember

711
00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:22.720
I bailed.

712
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:28.559
Exactly based on you know what you saw from the

713
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:33.160
distance away fifty seventy five yards, right, Yeah, could you

714
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:37.119
get a feeling as to if you would say it

715
00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:40.839
was something that was more human or like a big

716
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:43.519
something that was more like a big ape standing out there.

717
00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:45.599
Could you get any feeling for that?

718
00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:51.799
I oh, if it was more human or ape?

719
00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:54.599
Is that your Yeah? Just it looks alone.

720
00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:59.839
Yeah, it had like it had a knee like a

721
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:06.480
look at uh what's the word that it had like a.

722
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:08.720
It looked more human in the face.

723
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:12.240
It looks more human, right, like old school human, you know,

724
00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:15.519
like a broader I mean, and can this is just

725
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:17.720
a nanosecond. I mean, I'm just trying to think like

726
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:22.359
the I mean, it's like you could see like it

727
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:25.640
looked like orange fur right on the face.

728
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:27.839
It was lighter than the rest of the fur around it.

729
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:31.880
It just seems orangier, like lighter. And and you could

730
00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:32.559
see I could.

731
00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:35.359
See the like the eyes and the nose and mouth

732
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:38.000
because that was to where I could see it. You know, like, Okay,

733
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:40.079
so the lighter furs around the face, right, because that's

734
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:41.559
what made that the face could be because it was.

735
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:42.640
So huge, I'm like, oh, okay.

736
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:44.880
As I'm defining and this one second, as it unfolds,

737
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:46.359
you can start to see the shape in the arms.

738
00:31:46.519 --> 00:31:49.480
They go seeing below the hangs below low and I

739
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:51.079
can't see that if I saw the knees or on

740
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:53.039
I can't. I can't see that because all I remember

741
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:55.240
is that I'm like, those are that hangs low? It

742
00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:58.200
kind of like it's almost kind of a slumping floor maybe,

743
00:31:58.200 --> 00:31:58.799
but I don't know.

744
00:31:58.839 --> 00:32:00.920
Again, we're talking, you know. And then a reddish fur

745
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:03.799
and like I would say it would I mean, I

746
00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:04.359
didn't see it.

747
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:06.279
I don't know if I can made it to see,

748
00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:08.640
I would say it would be more human if I would,

749
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:11.119
I would have to if I had to choose in

750
00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:13.920
the face, and then it would be more human.

751
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:18.839
But I mean only because I mean it's just kind

752
00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:22.440
of broad. Like the chest was freaking huge, you know.

753
00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:25.359
Like freaking massive, like it had to have been three

754
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:26.680
or four feet across that chest.

755
00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:31.240
It was huge. I have never seen anything that big.

756
00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:33.759
I've never seen anything that's huge in my life.

757
00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:38.039
So there's no there's no athlete out there that comes

758
00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:38.599
close to.

759
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:40.440
No, absolutely not.

760
00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:43.559
Yeah no, And I and I met Shaq in person, okay,

761
00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:45.079
because my uncle knows of it anyway.

762
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:47.119
No, no, no.

763
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:49.559
There's no misteaking it's a bearer. There's no mistaking than

764
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:51.880
it for anything other than what it was. And again,

765
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:54.000
at that moment, I didn't go right to oh that's sasquatch.

766
00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:56.160
I just in my mind at that second one to

767
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:59.559
what is that? That's what I kept asking myself what

768
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:02.000
is that? With a few curse words, you.

769
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:06.319
Know, like what is that? Man? You know what could be?

770
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:10.000
And then just this feeling of dread, of like terror,

771
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:14.519
and like oh yeah, I I it's a fight or flight,

772
00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:17.359
And then yeah, I'm it's there's no question.

773
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:17.920
Yeah it's good.

774
00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:19.759
It has to be right behind me, you know, because

775
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:21.799
that's how big it is. I mean, that's how fat.

776
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:23.839
It would only take two or three strides for that

777
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:26.720
to get up over those fence lines and up here.

778
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:29.200
I mean you can there's no way that.

779
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:31.759
Yeah, it's that's how big it is.

780
00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:33.039
And so I mean I don't understand.

781
00:33:33.119 --> 00:33:36.240
I don't know what people that see it, just when

782
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:37.720
people say you saw a bear, because I I have

783
00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:39.920
told a couple of friends were like, oh, I bet

784
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:41.599
it was a bear, And that annoys me because I'm like,

785
00:33:41.640 --> 00:33:45.079
I'm I've seen both grizzlies and black bears in person,

786
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:48.000
you know, like I I mean, I wasn't shaking hands

787
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:51.079
with them, but you know about nature not on television, right,

788
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:53.680
So like that's no beer that for exceeds any kind

789
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:55.960
of beer. And besides, you can see the lake like

790
00:33:56.079 --> 00:33:57.960
the you can it's not a beer body.

791
00:33:58.440 --> 00:33:59.720
That chest is huge.

792
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:03.680
That's like a massive like that's a chest, you know

793
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:07.200
what I'm saying. That's not like a there's like there's

794
00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:08.559
a difference between an abdomen.

795
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:09.679
I feel like in a.

796
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:13.880
Chest it's I don't know, there's no way you cannot

797
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:15.400
have that's it's a person.

798
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:16.920
You know, that's huge.

799
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:19.199
That's what I thought, like as a huge person that

800
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:22.400
like had boldly kind of arms. That was I don't know,

801
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:25.039
it was huge exactly. And it wasn't like it didn't

802
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:27.159
remind me of an ape it right away. It reminded

803
00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:30.639
more of a huge, massive, free person. What the f

804
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:34.559
is that, you know? And for some reason things that league.

805
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:36.599
I just got the impression that it saw me. And

806
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:39.159
I don't know why that is, you know, I just

807
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:41.760
I just got an impression that it saw me.

808
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:43.239
And I don't know if I.

809
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:44.519
Get it, if I made that up in my mind,

810
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:45.800
maybe I mean that over the years that maybe I

811
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:47.119
would like for the things that it saw me. I

812
00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:48.719
don't know, to be honest, you know, but I just

813
00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:51.119
that's and I don't tell very many people that honestly,

814
00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:52.519
And I don't know why I'm telling you that right now,

815
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:54.760
but I mean, you know, I guess I got the

816
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:58.559
impression that it saw me, not as a morsel or anything,

817
00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:00.840
but it just was, you.

818
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:03.639
Know, like I see you. Yeah, I got the person

819
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:04.280
that I see you.

820
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:07.519
And that's the impression I got, you know, was it?

821
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:10.239
It was neutral on it. And you know, I honestly.

822
00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:13.039
Can say, like, you're probably the second person that I've

823
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:15.360
ever told that too, And because I think that to me,

824
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:17.800
that goes a little too the crazy side, right, so

825
00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:18.400
I just kind of.

826
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:20.159
Tend to stay away from that, you know. But if

827
00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:21.400
in all, honestly like.

828
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:26.119
That is the impression, and by impression, I mean that

829
00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:28.559
is the like not because I'm not hanging out with it,

830
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:30.079
So I don't know, you can't give me like, you know,

831
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:33.280
expressions and give me the impression, right because I'm not.

832
00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:35.719
I'm not. I'm not hanging out that long.

833
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:37.679
We're not hanging together, right, this is a split second,

834
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.880
I'm out right if that, But that's the impression I

835
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:43.639
got that I see you. And I don't know what

836
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:45.880
that I don't know, I don't know if that makes

837
00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:46.400
any sense.

838
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:47.960
No, I think it does.

839
00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:52.559
Yeah, yeah, it seemed to Yeah to me, it seemed

840
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:55.360
to want to get it said this is the case.

841
00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:56.679
I don't know if that's the case orright.

842
00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:58.440
I could be just thinking that, you know, I could

843
00:35:58.440 --> 00:35:59.719
just be like, oh, maybe I wanted to have the

844
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:02.840
impres that, don't you know, But I mean it seemed

845
00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:05.039
to be the teeth that I got, And that's the

846
00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:08.559
second that I see you it saw me, but more

847
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:10.599
you know, if that makes any sense, that's the impression

848
00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:12.559
that I got that it saw.

849
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:17.159
Me when you said I got a follow up question

850
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:21.119
for you here When you said old school human and

851
00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:23.639
not to put words in your mouth, are you saying

852
00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:26.119
like kind of Neanderthalt? Okay, that's what I was thinking.

853
00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:30.840
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because that's that's the that's the that's

854
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:32.119
the look that I feel like.

855
00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:33.000
That's where I went.

856
00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:35.960
Yeah, it wasn't an ape that I saw in the face.

857
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:37.599
It wasn't that it made a bit a fir, But

858
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:40.880
it wasn't that mannerisms on the faith. It were not mannerisms.

859
00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:43.559
But you know what I'm saying, like, that wasn't the

860
00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:44.920
impression I got. If you were to ask me, Yeah

861
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:49.199
I did in person, but Neanderthal I could because legal,

862
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:50.199
I don't know.

863
00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:51.760
I only saw it for a second. But that's the

864
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:52.320
impression I.

865
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:54.960
Got right, and by that, that's a different impression by

866
00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:55.960
what I meant before.

867
00:36:56.239 --> 00:36:59.360
And just in case, just in case you notice details.

868
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:02.559
But you know it was it was very quick and

869
00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:06.559
long ways away. But were you able to notice anything

870
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:10.480
like how the eye looked, if it was a full

871
00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:14.039
just a black eye, or did it actually have whites

872
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:16.079
around the eye? Were you able to see anything like that?

873
00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:19.119
No, I did not visit.

874
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:20.280
I did. I can't tell you that.

875
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:22.719
I yeah, it's a long ways yeah.

876
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:25.400
So yeah, and I'm I'm talking about it.

877
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:27.000
This is more than i've you know, a description that

878
00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:30.400
I've given, you know, even I mean like talking to friends,

879
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:33.199
like this is more than a description because I you know, reveal.

880
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:33.480
A little more, you know.

881
00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:36.639
But no, U, I've never really thought about it as hot,

882
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:38.320
like you know, like as I am talking to you,

883
00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:40.360
because this is not something that I don't not talk

884
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:42.039
about it, but it's not something that I make a

885
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:45.960
point of talking about. Yeah comes up, but you know, yeah,

886
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:47.360
because it's still pretty incidental.

887
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:51.599
But I think it's cool now I didn't know, is.

888
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:56.079
This is this area known for anything else weird besides bigfoot,

889
00:37:56.360 --> 00:38:00.719
anything that's reported to like town stories or I heard

890
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:01.800
this type stuff.

891
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:03.920
Well two years ago.

892
00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:05.920
So we have a we have a we have a

893
00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:09.000
Eugene Weekly, which is a suit paper local, you know,

894
00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:11.400
pre Gene. It's just kind of like out and about

895
00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:13.719
kind of deal. Two years ago, two summers ago, they

896
00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:15.480
had a missing for one one in there about all

897
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:17.079
these people that went missing out of the Oak Virgear

898
00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:20.559
area back in there near the reservoir and stuff. No,

899
00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:25.760
it's nothing, just disappeared. Well, they only mentioned five people

900
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:27.840
in the Eugene Weekly, I believe, and I believe that.

901
00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:29.880
I mean you could probably look in the archives, you know,

902
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:32.280
or call Eugene Weekly up. Yeah, because it was not

903
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:35.079
this last summer, but the summer before, and it was

904
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:36.960
I believe the title of the article was missing for

905
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:40.800
one one, you know, in like in the Eugene you know.

906
00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:42.679
And there was five cases.

907
00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:45.079
I believe five cases because I the reason I remember

908
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:47.400
that is because that's when I started getting this he's missing.

909
00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:49.119
For one one two summers ago, and that's why.

910
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:51.119
It caught my eye in Eugene Weekly. And I'm like

911
00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:55.199
that's like forty minutes away from here, what you know.

912
00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:59.880
So and also on top of that, Yeah, I had

913
00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:01.559
a friend who works in Lane County. She's still a

914
00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:06.119
friend of mine her. Well, let's just say there's a

915
00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:08.440
lot of disappearances. Yeah, there's a lot of disappearances in

916
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:08.960
Lank County.

917
00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:13.760
There was in two thousand and twenty two, there were

918
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:19.320
how much was it there was these I don't remember.

919
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:21.159
It was an enormous but it was an obscene.

920
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:23.519
Amount of disuperan people in Lank County. I don't remember

921
00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:27.280
what the figure is, but it was like extremely high.

922
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:29.320
But yeah, there's a lot of people that go missing

923
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:31.360
here between here and the Oakred area. I want a

924
00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:33.760
lot of people to go out and like and not

925
00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:35.679
because if it's an I five corridor, although I'm sure

926
00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:35.880
I had.

927
00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:37.519
That some of that has to do with it. But

928
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:38.519
there's a lot of people in.

929
00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:41.360
The awkward area and those back hills that have gone missing,

930
00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:45.039
curing hikes and so so and other than.

931
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:47.320
The big fut thing. Yeah, yeah, right, And I don't

932
00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:48.039
know how much pep.

933
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:50.400
Put at correlates with that, you know, I mean, because

934
00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:52.480
it could, right, I don't know, I don't know anything

935
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:54.280
about them really, you know at all?

936
00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:58.320
I don't know so or it could just be I

937
00:39:58.320 --> 00:39:59.480
don't know, if you.

938
00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:00.960
Think about a deep I don't know if you've heard

939
00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:05.159
about that, but the missing for one, but I find

940
00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:08.280
that or if that's the reason people are missing or

941
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:10.360
people taking people, I don't know.

942
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:14.039
But and oh yeah, and three.

943
00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:15.599
Months ago they if you look on the news and

944
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:19.199
in the gene three months ago we.

945
00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:22.559
Had three orbs uh that went over.

946
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:31.360
Yeah, yep, now it's it's a super weird area. There's

947
00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:37.400
also a report that you can find where I'm going

948
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:40.199
to do my best to to recount this. I'll have

949
00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:43.039
it linked in the description. Pretty much a guy was

950
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:47.719
on a mountain west of Oakridge and he stumbled I

951
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:50.199
can't remember the mountain name, but he stumbled into what

952
00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:52.840
he thinks is an ORB and he started to go

953
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:57.960
through it in like an arm. Uh pretty much reached

954
00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:01.079
out and tried to grab him and and said, hey, gotcha.

955
00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:07.679
Or it was it's a really really weird story. And really, yeah,

956
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:09.920
you got to read it. It's a fun one. But

957
00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:12.960
I've been trying to track the guy down for a

958
00:41:13.079 --> 00:41:15.360
good half a year. Would not be surprising, I mean,

959
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:18.280
there's so so many weird things going on in the

960
00:41:18.320 --> 00:41:22.519
Willamett National Forest and then down by Cottage Grove and

961
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:26.760
I mean Sharp's Creek and durin a lake. Any place

962
00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:29.000
you go to there's weird stuff going on.

963
00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:34.519
But do you do sort of curiosity? Do you what

964
00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:35.800
do you think about that? Missing? For one?

965
00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:37.159
One? Like, what do you think about it?

966
00:41:38.719 --> 00:41:42.159
Well, I'm not probably as deep into it as as

967
00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:45.800
you are, but I have watched the Hunted documentary a

968
00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:51.679
while back. Yeah, there's there's a lot of stuff that

969
00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:54.360
that you really can't explain, right, I mean the clothes

970
00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:59.519
being found folded or you know, I really don't know.

971
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:02.199
I don't don't know if you can say it's all

972
00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:06.000
Bigfoot related. But I think that the things that are

973
00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:11.519
being found and written down and notice noticing the patterns,

974
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:14.639
it's not just something that's happening by itself, that's one

975
00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:19.519
hundred percent. I mean there's too many, like, too many

976
00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:22.599
weird patterns that come up for it just to be

977
00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:27.000
like it's just happening these these older what is the

978
00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:31.079
older gentlemen with certain types of heritage are going out

979
00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:34.320
in the woods. Yeah, German, Right, it's just so weird.

980
00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:35.960
It is really weird.

981
00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:39.960
So yeah, yeah, that's weird.

982
00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:41.719
I don't know, we'll if.

983
00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:43.199
You look at that's what's happening around here.

984
00:42:43.480 --> 00:42:46.239
Yeah, anyway, I just I mean, I hope maybe are

985
00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:47.559
you giving you a sasquatchaus.

986
00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:52.480
Yeah. I will be out in Oakridge again this July

987
00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:56.800
for the second Sasquat Summerfest and that'll be that'll be

988
00:42:56.800 --> 00:42:58.800
a great time. Really looking forward to it.

989
00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:01.920
So yeah, it's not poster about it the other day.

990
00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:03.239
Oh heck yeah nice.

991
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:07.239
Yeah. Oh well, anyway, I got to go. Is that okay?

992
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:07.719
I gotta go.

993
00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:13.639
Yeah, we have, We've definitely had more than a great chat.

00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:21.840
talk to her if she needs to just be like, hey,

997
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:23.440
I don't know what happened and I need to talk

998
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:28.079
to someone who who can try to understand. I'm available

999
00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:30.039
for that, so just turn on that.

1000
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:32.800
Well what do you think? Yeah, yeah, I don't understand.

1001
00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:34.599
I'm just curious real quick, what do you think about

1002
00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:36.920
I mean, do you think dat's just all human?

1003
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:39.360
I mean, not all human, but all flesh and blood

1004
00:43:41.679 --> 00:43:43.880
Right now, I'm think it's a phenomenon.

1005
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:47.119
Right now, I'm at the point where I think it

1006
00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:51.360
is some kind of flesh and blood thing that can

1007
00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:54.079
do a lot of stuff that normal science can't can

1008
00:43:55.360 --> 00:43:59.159
normal science can't explain unless it's like fringe science. But

1009
00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:02.920
I if I was to see something, I could be

1010
00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:07.760
easily Like I'm at the point where I am trying

1011
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:10.920
to figure out stuff too write. But uh man, if

1012
00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:13.559
I saw something weird, I could totally change the way

1013
00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:15.400
that will look at things, no problem.

1014
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:18.239
So yeah, right, yeah, I think.

1015
00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:19.840
It's kind of weird than was. I mean, other than

1016
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:23.960
I mean that, other than than like that one whatever film,

1017
00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:26.480
Like I mean, no one's got a really good film,

1018
00:44:26.559 --> 00:44:28.199
you know. I mean people get good film that it

1019
00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:31.320
seems like they're pretty elusive. It seems exactly you know,

1020
00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:34.039
and they're pretty good at it, you know. I mean

1021
00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:37.920
I get it as well, not a great rate, you know.

1022
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:41.280
So I hope that My whole thing is I hope,

1023
00:44:41.320 --> 00:44:43.840
you know, I just people just let him be, you know,

1024
00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:45.760
that might have something that they've been.

1025
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:47.519
Here for for They've been here longer than we have.

1026
00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:49.400
They've got some stuff figured out, maybe at a different

1027
00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:50.119
level than we are.

1028
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:50.840
You know.

1029
00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:54.800
I just I feel like I mean, I feel like

1030
00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:59.079
either away from a Native perspective, I know that generally speaking,

1031
00:44:59.159 --> 00:44:59.960
natives just let him be.

1032
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:01.639
You know, they do their thing.

1033
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:06.400
We do our thing, you know, and and uh, you

1034
00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:08.960
know these are going to do that anyway. You know,

1035
00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:10.360
they seem to have a higher you know, they seem

1036
00:45:10.360 --> 00:45:11.599
to have pretty good.

1037
00:45:11.440 --> 00:45:12.920
Control, a grasp on what's going on.

1038
00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:18.000
Sure, and I can't do their own thing without you know,

1039
00:45:18.440 --> 00:45:20.639
messing with us or getting messed with. I don't know,

1040
00:45:21.280 --> 00:45:23.400
I don't know. I know that the Saint Helen's, you know,

1041
00:45:23.519 --> 00:45:27.280
when they erupted. I mean I've heard stories about up

1042
00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:29.960
here Mount Saint Helen's, you know, that they found some bodies,

1043
00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:31.280
but I don't know if that's true or not.

1044
00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:34.599
You know, yeah, I would love to talk to the

1045
00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:39.400
person that there might be some person that's still alive

1046
00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:42.559
out there, that that had a visual or some something.

1047
00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:45.360
I'd love to talk to them. But you know, it

1048

with you not just because of the sighting, but because

1059

of the sheer terror that she felt, kind of terror

1060
00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:26.039
