Sasquatch Stared Through Her Soul on Blewett Pass | Washington

0:00 You're listening to Big for Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it. To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us, all right, Big for Society. We got the privilege of talking to Brenda Burgett today. Brenda is a retired real estate broker and an author out there in the state of Washington. But welcome to the show. Brenda.

0:44 How are you doing today? I'm doing great. Thank you for having me. Absolutely you had reached out about something that happened to you. I believe it was back a while ago, back in the nineties, in an area that we haven't really heard a lot about from yet in Washington. So you know, I want to make sure that you have the time to share your account of what happened to you, and feel free to take us back to you know that time in the mid nineties and what you experienced that day. Okay, I'd love to. I do think that there was a sighting reported about a past Levenworth not too long ago.

1:32 It actually hit our Pitton newspaper, I think, but I hadn't heard about anything in this area. And it was February and on blew It Path and I had gone I've been to Seattle to shop or do something. And it was a time in my life where I was busy making my career work and my spiritual life. It was on a hold pattern. It was roads were really icy, and my friend, who is still my friend, would like to keep her privacy, so I've tried to tell you her version as well as mine. That we were going around these very steep pass the road Bluet Pass has some hairpin turns and the roads again were black eyes, so I was driving really slow and there was like a curve coming up for a little It was like a place where they have pilasters that hold the snow up, which can go up as high as twelve feet, but it's meant to keep the snow from coming onto the road and I just all of a sudden, I had this Forebodin's. It was like something's coming up. And even now the hair stands up on my arms. And my friend,

3:06 who is hook polar opposite to be, she's brave, she's whatever she believes favor you know, bowl favors people, and you need to go for it. She's a commercial airline pilot. I, on the other hand, prefer to be I skirt around it the supernatural. But anyway, when I rounded the corner to the right, up against the embankment and the pilasters, was this man. I thought it was a man, but it wasn't a man. He had to be later, you know, a tall, very very tall, and very long arms. And again how I remember all this with the brief time I was there, I couldn't tell you, but he had very long, hairy arms. Is he was hairy that his chest seemed to be like there was very little hair.

4:09 And it was dark. It was just dusk at the time, so it was hard that everything is so vivid. And when I looked at him, his eyes were amazing. And since then I've thought every blue, Were they green? Were they red? Were they I don't really remember that. She remembers him as being very large and intense. I don't remember that part of it. But he was looking at us, saying he was very surprised, and his arms went down past his knees and he covered hair, and her thirst thought was, oh, my goodness, this man may have been in an accident and we need to stop and save him.

4:56 And she told me later, well, I thought we'd just take him cleaning up, getting some help, and it was like, the first thing out of my mouth was no, she never heard me talk like that there before, and she was just looked at me, like, how could you say that? But not until we'd passed him and he was looking at us, I had a fear. I've got to admit I was terrified. The roads were like I am a coward on bad roads. That I sped up and there was a hairlining corner and my friend thought she's going to dump us in the ravine. I didn't, but I had this feeling that this, whatever it was, if it wanted to, could be in our backseat any time it chose to. I don't get it, still don't understand that yet, I do. Anyway, we were very silent all the way back, and when we got to the road that you go to the left up and work to go to the right, Nanci everything, all of them, both our memories just were erased.

6:09 I don't get it. I still don't understand it, but yet I kind of do. Anyway, we went home, neither one of us brought it up again. And then maybe five years ago, she called and she said, were you the one I was with? Where's you the one I was with that saw that thing on the past? And I said, nah, no, it wasn't he. Wasn't he? And I said it was me? And all of a sudden, the memories started coming back, and we compared notes and and compared the different feelings, which is just amazing to me because being you know, the basic conservative chicken I happened to be at times, I just wanted to get out of there. I felt like that we were in an area we didn't belong and I needed to get us safely out of there. She was more compassionate, and since then she felt like that she made a real connection with him. I did two, but on a different level, which is interesting. We started talking and comparing notes, and she has an extreme desire to remain anonymous, and I totally respect it. I wish she would talk to you, but I'll try to. I'll try to be as fair as I can about her point of view, but hers

7:40 was it opened up a part of her that she had. She'd seen a spaceship when she was younger, and so that brought back memories of that. And for me, I had put my spiritual life on hold, and now at this time, you know I've got time, I can do that, and you know I've done a lot of things since then, but everything is making more sense now. And like I told you when we began talking earlier, when I saw the episode about the Gentleman that was the otter Man series the San Juan Islands, which is a ways from where I live, and it was like over and you kept asking him questions and he gradually revealed a little more about himself and how with his Irish background, which i'd have as well, and my gifts that were not going to talk about today, it just resounded with me and I realized how important what you're doing really is.

8:57 This is not just a feature or a being or something that so many people now have seen, Thank goodness for now. But I almost feel like there's a deeper meaning and those are that want to be connected can be. And I watch a lot of the Bigfoot information on YouTube and the shows, and I guess I really appreciate this time in my life and how important it might be for people who have had similar experiences that can connect and know that it's okay. It really is okay and maybe desirable and worth your while to investigate and to open your minds a little. And I don't really have a great need to preach, although I'm really good at it. If you want me to, that's awesome.

10:02 Wow, what incredible encounter. And listeners might they might say, hey, this sounds familiar from a few back. This is actually you had left a voicemail for us too, which if listeners didn't know, they can do that. They can do that over a big Foot Society podcast. You can record a voicemail and then have it sent directly to me if you'd like. So, maybe a few few questions for you. Do you remember anything about the face or the eyes or any details that you saw.

10:44 I remember the face, but you know, I'm not sure if my memory has changed things, but I don't think so. And when I first looked this, this creature. It looked like a man with maybe some emotional mental problems, only very big. And I don't know how I got all of this out of maybe ten seconds sighting at the very most, but I got more information as time went on and as I remembered it. But he had a his cheeks were definitely higher, and he had he was black and brown like they say, and his fingers were very long. His arms were exceptionally long, and he had further but there was some like skin of some dark, dark, dark, dirty looking skin, and his face was dirty, very dirty, so which probably meant it was just broad and he was surprised. But yet it was like he knew who I was. It was like like I knew I was going to see something before I saw it. It was a very weird feeling. He had ears, kind of I think, but the hair on his head was it kind of was like a man would be with very rumpled looking

12:16 here that hadn't been taken care of. So he wasn't bad that he was huge. Huge isn't tall all and and. Like I say, not a huge He was like a very large man. Sure how tall would you estimate that it might have been. I'm seven or eight feet. The longer it goes on, the taller the guy gets. You know how that works. No, I get it. It's very evident that you have a great way of describing things. You can tell that you were, that you're a writer. I'm your author. It's very cool. Let's see, let's see. You mentioned that it looked surprised to you.

13:05 Were there certain things that you noticed about it that made you think that it was surprised. His mouth was slightly open, and it seemed to lean forward like it was really looking. And I guess it was a feeling too shared feeling, mutual surprise and fear on my part, and I don't think he had any fear on his part. And my friend, of course wanted to clean him up and take care of him. He's like, gal, Nope. No, not not happening in this car idea. Absolutely. It would be funny though, would be like Harry and the Henderson's kind of No.

13:47 She said we could have taken him to the mall and got him cleaned. That we were both laughing, you know, humor saves us. But I said that wasn't going to happen. She said, I'd never heard you say no. Oh. Ever, and we've known each other quite a while, so it's interesting. With its mouth open, did were we able to see anything any details about the teeth at all? You know, everything seemed really dirty. I mean, like, yeah, I'm kind of doubtful that there's any that they brush their teeth, but it just looked like looking into the mouth and almost an animal feeling, but much much smarter.

14:37 Sure, being the time that you saw it was around dusk. Did you notice anything about the eyes at all? This is something that totally changes because of other experiences I've had that don't relate to bigfoot. I've seen bright blue sometimes and then when I look and I think about it, and then when I really zero in, it was more like a orange gold red looks. That's very I'm sorry, that's the best I can do with that. No.

15:18 Memories can be a really interesting thing, which is why I try to write down stuff after it happens, especially when I go out, Because I mean, listening to your your voicemail when you had sent that a few days ago, I think you'd even mentioned that there there might have been a type of yellow green eyes as well. Yes, yellow and green red definitely stood out from his dark body. Absolutely. Was there a shape to the head of all.

15:58 Yeah, it was. I could, oh, gosh, you know, like a large band's head. Okay, very big. Head, gotcha. So you would say more like a normal man man's looking had the shape of that, maybe not so much as shape of like a gorilla or something like that. And I could have had that as well. It was something I had not seen before, So trying to figure it all out was like, it was just who he was. It was unique. He wasn't an animal, he wasn't a man. He was something in between. Absolutely, and that's something that you do hear a lot, although a lot of people that I talked to seemed to maybe lean more towards there's something human about it.

16:45 I wasn't able to if I had it in my sight, so I wasn't able to pull the trigger, et cetera. Things like that. Yeah, so something too human about it, which is very interesting to hear. Now after you had so, I'm thinking through a few things because you said that your your memory really had gone away of this whole situation until your friend brought it up. But after this happened. To her memory went away to it. Just it came to her and she was compelled to call. Me after this happened, though, did you have anything And I know this is skirting on territory that we might not want to talk about, but did you have anything happen out of the ordinary, perhaps maybe like really intense dreams or anything like that.

17:40 I had looking back, looking back at the entire situation and putting trying to make some make rhyme or reason of it. I, like I said earlier, was denying my own spirituality because I grew up saying hearing people say, well, that's Frenda, you know how she is? Well, I really didn't know how she was, but apparently I was different. And at this time in my life, I was trying to establish a career and get where I was going professionally, and I didn't really want to deal with anything other than that. And I thought it, and after this happened, I had a knowing that it was time for me to invite who I was into the picture. And that was not an easy thing for me, not an easy thing at all. That meant stepping out and risking my career and ridicule from my family and people, and I won't say friends because friends don't do that, but it did open up that part of my life, and I had the desire, the need, almost like a hunger, to see what else was there in my life. I continued to do my business and was successful for quite a while.

18:59 The need to look for the a paranormal, supernatural, whatever you want to call it, was bordering between the spiritual and that there was an area in there I wanted to know about. And I believe now that by with that sighting came that opening up a part of my life that allowed me to say okay. And I remember at one time in my life saying okay, okay, Kate, bring it on. I'm ready, and then bring it on. It did. It's been a ride since then, and I yeah, I'm just so happy to be where I'm at at this time in my life when people like you are making all of this information as much as you can get available to other people, and if there's such a need a validation of people that are a little bit different and or have the need to know more, so I'm going to thank you again for that. I think you're amazing.

20:08 Thank you. I mean, I think it's important that there's a lot of shows out there that are are able to give platforms for people to share what they've experienced. And why do you think that this time of history is important for people to get things like that out there? Do you think it's different from any other time or absolutely? And you know, I'm the very last chapter of my life and happy to be here, and now is the time when people have an expectation of more and there's fear that comes with that. You know. I just keep thinking that the thing that kept me going when I was working and trying to accomplish something is nothing worth having comes without a little bit of anxiety. Anxiety can be fear, doubts, whatever, But it's when you walk through that fear and say, okay, bring it on. And now is that time. In my mind, I'm excited. I'm not afraid anymore. I mean, what are you going to do to me? I've already been there, and if you could, I might just be okay with it. But it's not that way anymore. People are almost we're getting there, allowed to be who they are and have an opinion other than the majority. But I think there's more of us now.

21:43 I know there's more people now that believe the way I do, and it's good to have company. It is. It's something that I've noticed actually at the last two events that I've been part oft is that there's actually it's not so much community, it's not so much me talking to people that are at the booth. It's that people are coming up. And especially in Oregon, there were five to six conversations happening at my booth, just people finding each other and then just talking with each other. And there's really that like people want to find other people that are similar to you know, they've gone through what they've experienced. But it is another interesting pattern I find is that and this is kind of like your story too, is that people experience this interaction and then it kind of either unlocks something in their life or really brings it to the surface. And do you have any thoughts about, like what the connection between a bigfoot encounter and unlocking things in your own life might be, whether it's paranormal or not.

23:07 I don't bother myself with a lot of details. I go with my feelings. All I can tell you with myself is it just opened a door and it was and I've enjoyed the people that have been brought into my life, because you know, you can google me or whatever and find out who I really am. But again, I don't want this to be all about me. I just feel like it was just something that had to happen. It was a huge opening for me, and I'd had several experiences as a little girl and buried it and my mother would say to me, bless her little heart, just don't talk about it. So anyway, now I can talk about it. Everybody can talk about anybody that wants to hear or doesn't want to hear. Sometimes, but I've got I am very okay with people saying, oh, yeah, that's just the way she is, and yeah Bigfoot, uh huh, okay, listen or don't listen, your choice, free will. That's why we're here exactly.

24:19 So was it a common occurrence where you would be able to sense things that would happen before they happened, kind of like how you knew that something was happening before you actually saw the Bigfoot? Oh? Yes, yeah, really definitely. Yeah. I got shown things when I was a child, and I got used to seeing things that we're really out of the very much out of my realm and being okay with it and I've had and I very much believe in God source energy. And you know, I've had such good guidance in my life and I didn't always take it. But you know, everything is anything is possible if you want it to be.

25:09 And I'm just excited about And I think bigfoot is such a big part of this. You know, it's yes, it's supernatural, I think it is, but I think it's more natural than a lot of things we see today. So am I talking in circles? Well? I mean, it's one of those things where it is very hard to understand because on the one hand, you have something where you know you're leaving tracks right physical in some way perhaps, But on the other way you have is affecting people. There are very strange things that are seen, so things that are outside of the understanding of mainstream science. It's just that it's very hard to get your mind around it.

25:58 I think I've got some guidance I'll share with you if you want to hear it. Sure, I was kind of told and from my whatevers, that I'm to walk to Earth and leave a gentle foot print and forgive others like I'd like to be forgiven. If I need be and I do, but also leave a path that maybe will help other people get where they're going, not in my steps, but beside me and around me, and kindness is always first. Well, I think that that's great advice, you know, to get and also to give for sure what you saw that day. Would you ever want to see something like that again?

26:51 Well, yes, I think so. I think I'm ready for it. I know that my daughter and her husband camp up in that area and I we'd laugh, we have a lot of humor, and she would love to see it. And funny enough, some blackform went by their their RV window, and of course they convinced each other it was a wolf. Will the roof the windows are probably five or six feet high, so go figure that one. But yeah, I I would, I would welcome it. Wow. Yeah, that would be an extremely large wolf. And that was in the Bluett Pass area as well.

27:31 Yes, I better not say where. No problem? Good yeah, good stuff, good stuff? Wow? Uh. Brenda. I am so glad you're able to come on the show today and to spend a bit of time sharing about what you experienced in the in the Bluett Pass area of Washington. Hopefully this will unlock maybe memory or two in a listener's mind, and maybe they'll be able to reach out as well. But I want to make sure that you were able to share everything that you came on the show to share today, Brenda. I certainly have, and probably more than I intended. You're a very good narrator.
