Season 1

What happens when a woman and her friend takes a winding mountain pass home through the icy dusk of Washington’s Blewett Pass — and locks eyes with a creature she was never meant to see? In this emotional and unsettling episode, we sit down with Brenda Burgett, a lifelong Washingtonian and author, who opens up about her chilling 1990s encounter with a massive, intelligent creature unlike anything she’s ever known. What began as a routine drive through black ice quickly spiraled into a surreal, terrifying moment that erased memories, shook her beliefs, and opened doors into something deeper. You’ll hear about her friend’s desire to help “the man,” the shared amnesia, and how this one moment would unlock decades of buried spiritual experiences. With connections to Leavenworth and echoes of other paranormal encounters across the state, Brenda’s story is a powerful reminder: sometimes Bigfoot finds you.

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

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

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

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

5
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.719
to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

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

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

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

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

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.320
So stay with us, all right, Big for Society. We

11
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.920
got the privilege of talking to Brenda Burgett today. Brenda

12
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.399
is a retired real estate broker and an author out

13
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:44.399
there in the state of Washington. But welcome to the show. Brenda.

14
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:45.320
How are you doing today?

15
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:48.399
I'm doing great. Thank you for having me.

16
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:54.439
Absolutely you had reached out about something that happened to you.

17
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.520
I believe it was back a while ago, back in

18
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:04.280
the nineties, in an area that we haven't really heard

19
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:07.400
a lot about from yet in Washington. So you know,

20
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.560
I want to make sure that you have the time

21
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.760
to share your account of what happened to you, and

22
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:15.959
feel free to take us back to you know that

23
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.879
time in the mid nineties and what you experienced that day.

24
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:25.599
Okay, I'd love to. I do think that there was

25
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:32.120
a sighting reported about a past Levenworth not too long ago.

26
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.159
It actually hit our Pitton newspaper, I think, but I

27
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:39.920
hadn't heard about anything in this area. And it was

28
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:46.319
February and on blew It Path and I had gone

29
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.560
I've been to Seattle to shop or do something. And

30
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.200
it was a time in my life where I was

31
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:59.200
busy making my career work and my spiritual life. It

32
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:04.799
was on a hold pattern. It was roads were really icy,

33
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:10.960
and my friend, who is still my friend, would like

34
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.599
to keep her privacy, so I've tried to tell you

35
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:18.039
her version as well as mine. That we were going

36
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:23.599
around these very steep pass the road Bluet Pass has

37
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:29.120
some hairpin turns and the roads again were black eyes,

38
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:35.520
so I was driving really slow and there was like

39
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.159
a curve coming up for a little It was like

40
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:44.599
a place where they have pilasters that hold the snow up,

41
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.199
which can go up as high as twelve feet, but

42
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:50.000
it's meant to keep the snow from coming onto the

43
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:55.800
road and I just all of a sudden, I had

44
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:01.000
this Forebodin's. It was like something's coming up. And even

45
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:06.080
now the hair stands up on my arms. And my friend,

46
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:09.759
who is hook polar opposite to be, she's brave, she's

47
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:17.719
whatever she believes favor you know, bowl favors people, and

48
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.240
you need to go for it. She's a commercial airline pilot. I,

49
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:27.960
on the other hand, prefer to be I skirt around

50
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:34.039
it the supernatural. But anyway, when I rounded the corner

51
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:40.120
to the right, up against the embankment and the pilasters,

52
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:43.039
was this man. I thought it was a man, but

53
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.560
it wasn't a man. He had to be later, you know,

54
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:52.759
a tall, very very tall, and very long arms. And

55
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.319
again how I remember all this with the brief time

56
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.719
I was there, I couldn't tell you, but he had

57
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.960
very long, hairy arms. Is he was hairy that his

58
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:09.520
chest seemed to be like there was very little hair.

59
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.439
And it was dark. It was just dusk at the time,

60
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:18.839
so it was hard that everything is so vivid. And

61
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:25.560
when I looked at him, his eyes were amazing. And

62
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.680
since then I've thought every blue, Were they green? Were

63
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.800
they red? Were they I don't really remember that. She

64
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:37.680
remembers him as being very large and intense. I don't

65
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.680
remember that part of it. But he was looking at us,

66
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.720
saying he was very surprised, and his arms went down

67
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:49.000
past his knees and he covered hair, and her thirst

68
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.879
thought was, oh, my goodness, this man may have been

69
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:56.439
in an accident and we need to stop and save him.

70
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.800
And she told me later, well, I thought we'd just

71
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.560
take him cleaning up, getting some help, and it was like,

72
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.639
the first thing out of my mouth was no, she

73
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.079
never heard me talk like that there before, and she

74
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.600
was just looked at me, like, how could you say that?

75
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:17.160
But not until we'd passed him and he was looking

76
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:21.600
at us, I had a fear. I've got to admit

77
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:26.120
I was terrified. The roads were like I am a

78
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:30.319
coward on bad roads. That I sped up and there

79
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.879
was a hairlining corner and my friend thought she's going

80
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:37.879
to dump us in the ravine. I didn't, but I

81
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:43.399
had this feeling that this, whatever it was, if it

82
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.399
wanted to, could be in our backseat any time it

83
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.160
chose to. I don't get it, still don't understand that yet,

84
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:55.519
I do. Anyway, we were very silent all the way back,

85
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:58.399
and when we got to the road that you go

86
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.399
to the left up and work to go to the right,

87
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:07.240
Nanci everything, all of them, both our memories just were erased.

88
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.000
I don't get it. I still don't understand it, but

89
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:17.399
yet I kind of do. Anyway, we went home, neither

90
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.120
one of us brought it up again. And then maybe

91
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:25.399
five years ago, she called and she said, were you

92
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.720
the one I was with? Where's you the one I

93
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:36.600
was with that saw that thing on the past? And

94
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.920
I said, nah, no, it wasn't he. Wasn't he? And

95
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.480
I said it was me? And all of a sudden,

96
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:49.160
the memories started coming back, and we compared notes and

97
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:53.000
and compared the different feelings, which is just amazing to

98
00:06:53.040 --> 00:07:00.199
me because being you know, the basic conservative chicken I

99
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.680
happened to be at times, I just wanted to get

100
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.560
out of there. I felt like that we were in

101
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.680
an area we didn't belong and I needed to get

102
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:14.160
us safely out of there. She was more compassionate, and

103
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.959
since then she felt like that she made a real

104
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.480
connection with him. I did two, but on a different level,

105
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:26.399
which is interesting. We started talking and comparing notes, and

106
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:31.439
she has an extreme desire to remain anonymous, and I

107
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.680
totally respect it. I wish she would talk to you,

108
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.439
but I'll try to. I'll try to be as fair

109
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.439
as I can about her point of view, but hers

110
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:45.360
was it opened up a part of her that she had.

111
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:49.040
She'd seen a spaceship when she was younger, and so

112
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:52.519
that brought back memories of that. And for me, I

113
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:57.040
had put my spiritual life on hold, and now at

114
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.920
this time, you know I've got time, I can do that,

115
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:04.839
and you know I've done a lot of things since then,

116
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:10.759
but everything is making more sense now. And like I

117
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:15.319
told you when we began talking earlier, when I saw

118
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:20.160
the episode about the Gentleman that was the otter Man

119
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.240
series the San Juan Islands, which is a ways from

120
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:29.920
where I live, and it was like over and you

121
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:34.879
kept asking him questions and he gradually revealed a little

122
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:40.399
more about himself and how with his Irish background, which

123
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:44.879
i'd have as well, and my gifts that were not

124
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:50.600
going to talk about today, it just resounded with me

125
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:55.000
and I realized how important what you're doing really is.

126
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:01.919
This is not just a feature or a being or

127
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:06.720
something that so many people now have seen, Thank goodness

128
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:12.000
for now. But I almost feel like there's a deeper

129
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:15.919
meaning and those are that want to be connected can be.

130
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:21.480
And I watch a lot of the Bigfoot information on

131
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:28.159
YouTube and the shows, and I guess I really appreciate

132
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:32.480
this time in my life and how important it might

133
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:39.919
be for people who have had similar experiences that can

134
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:44.480
connect and know that it's okay. It really is okay

135
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:51.639
and maybe desirable and worth your while to investigate and

136
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:55.919
to open your minds a little. And I don't really

137
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.600
have a great need to preach, although I'm really good

138
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.720
at it. If you want me to, that's awesome.

139
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:11.039
Wow, what incredible encounter. And listeners might they might say, hey,

140
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:13.759
this sounds familiar from a few back. This is actually

141
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:19.559
you had left a voicemail for us too, which if

142
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:21.399
listeners didn't know, they can do that. They can do

143
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:24.600
that over a big Foot Society podcast. You can record

144
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:26.600
a voicemail and then have it sent directly to me

145
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:34.159
if you'd like. So, maybe a few few questions for you.

146
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:40.039
Do you remember anything about the face or the eyes

147
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:42.840
or any details that you saw.

148
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:48.559
I remember the face, but you know, I'm not sure

149
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.600
if my memory has changed things, but I don't think so.

150
00:10:53.519 --> 00:11:00.720
And when I first looked this, this creature. It looked

151
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:05.399
like a man with maybe some emotional mental problems, only

152
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.360
very big. And I don't know how I got all

153
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:12.559
of this out of maybe ten seconds sighting at the

154
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:16.360
very most, but I got more information as time went

155
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:19.759
on and as I remembered it. But he had a

156
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:24.960
his cheeks were definitely higher, and he had he was

157
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.879
black and brown like they say, and his fingers were

158
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:36.759
very long. His arms were exceptionally long, and he had

159
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:41.600
further but there was some like skin of some dark, dark, dark,

160
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.120
dirty looking skin, and his face was dirty, very dirty,

161
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:50.240
so which probably meant it was just broad and he

162
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.519
was surprised. But yet it was like he knew who

163
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:56.279
I was. It was like like I knew I was

164
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:01.600
going to see something before I saw it. It was

165
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:08.440
a very weird feeling. He had ears, kind of I think,

166
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.919
but the hair on his head was it kind of

167
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.120
was like a man would be with very rumpled looking

168
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.799
here that hadn't been taken care of. So he wasn't

169
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.039
bad that he was huge.

170
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.879
Huge isn't tall all and and.

171
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.200
Like I say, not a huge He was like a

172
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:34.919
very large man.

173
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:40.240
Sure how tall would you estimate that it might have been.

174
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.879
I'm seven or eight feet. The longer it goes on,

175
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.039
the taller the guy gets. You know how that works. No,

176
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:50.559
I get it.

177
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.399
It's very evident that you have a great way of

178
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.720
describing things. You can tell that you were, that you're

179
00:12:55.720 --> 00:13:00.960
a writer. I'm your author. It's very cool. Let's see,

180
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.559
let's see. You mentioned that it looked surprised to you.

181
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:08.519
Were there certain things that you noticed about it that

182
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:10.080
made you think that it was surprised.

183
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.279
His mouth was slightly open, and it seemed to lean

184
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:22.960
forward like it was really looking. And I guess it

185
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:27.879
was a feeling too shared feeling, mutual surprise and fear

186
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:29.960
on my part, and I don't think he had any

187
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.279
fear on his part. And my friend, of course wanted

188
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:39.960
to clean him up and take care of him. He's like, gal, Nope.

189
00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:44.320
No, not not happening in this car idea. Absolutely. It

190
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:45.879
would be funny though, would be like Harry and the

191
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:47.720
Henderson's kind of No.

192
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:49.799
She said we could have taken him to the mall

193
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.320
and got him cleaned. That we were both laughing, you know,

194
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:57.639
humor saves us. But I said that wasn't going to happen.

195
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:01.080
She said, I'd never heard you say no. Oh. Ever,

196
00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:06.200
and we've known each other quite a while, so it's interesting.

197
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:09.720
With its mouth open, did were we able to see

198
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:12.200
anything any details about the teeth at all?

199
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:23.159
You know, everything seemed really dirty. I mean, like, yeah,

200
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:27.759
I'm kind of doubtful that there's any that they brush

201
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:31.840
their teeth, but it just looked like looking into the

202
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:36.639
mouth and almost an animal feeling, but much much smarter.

203
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:43.039
Sure, being the time that you saw it was around dusk.

204
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:47.399
Did you notice anything about the eyes at all?

205
00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:54.960
This is something that totally changes because of other experiences

206
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:58.679
I've had that don't relate to bigfoot. I've seen bright

207
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.480
blue sometimes and then when I look and I think

208
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.600
about it, and then when I really zero in, it

209
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:13.200
was more like a orange gold red looks. That's very

210
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:17.320
I'm sorry, that's the best I can do with that. No.

211
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:21.759
Memories can be a really interesting thing, which is why

212
00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:25.960
I try to write down stuff after it happens, especially

213
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:29.200
when I go out, Because I mean, listening to your

214
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:33.879
your voicemail when you had sent that a few days ago,

215
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:36.720
I think you'd even mentioned that there there might have

216
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:39.080
been a type of yellow green eyes as well.

217
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:47.720
Yes, yellow and green red definitely stood out from his

218
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:49.840
dark body.

219
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.200
Absolutely. Was there a shape to the head of all.

220
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.080
Yeah, it was. I could, oh, gosh, you know, like

221
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.080
a large band's head. Okay, very big.

222
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:10.399
Head, gotcha. So you would say more like a normal

223
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:14.480
man man's looking had the shape of that, maybe not

224
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:17.399
so much as shape of like a gorilla or something

225
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:17.639
like that.

226
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:21.320
And I could have had that as well. It was

227
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:26.039
something I had not seen before, So trying to figure

228
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.279
it all out was like, it was just who he was.

229
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:32.039
It was unique. He wasn't an animal, he wasn't a man.

230
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:34.320
He was something in between.

231
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:38.399
Absolutely, and that's something that you do hear a lot,

232
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:41.799
although a lot of people that I talked to seemed

233
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.840
to maybe lean more towards there's something human about it.

234
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.399
I wasn't able to if I had it in my sight,

235
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:51.600
so I wasn't able to pull the trigger, et cetera.

236
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:54.879
Things like that. Yeah, so something too human about it,

237
00:16:54.919 --> 00:17:02.840
which is very interesting to hear. Now after you had so,

238
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:05.480
I'm thinking through a few things because you said that

239
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:08.079
your your memory really had gone away of this whole

240
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:12.440
situation until your friend brought it up. But after this happened.

241
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:16.559
To her memory went away to it. Just it came

242
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.240
to her and she was compelled to call.

243
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:25.680
Me after this happened, though, did you have anything And

244
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.480
I know this is skirting on territory that we might

245
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:32.680
not want to talk about, but did you have anything

246
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.519
happen out of the ordinary, perhaps maybe like really intense

247
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:38.039
dreams or anything like that.

248
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:43.759
I had looking back, looking back at the entire situation

249
00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:48.359
and putting trying to make some make rhyme or reason

250
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.079
of it. I, like I said earlier, was denying my

251
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.720
own spirituality because I grew up saying hearing people say, well,

252
00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:59.319
that's Frenda, you know how she is? Well, I really

253
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.160
didn't know how she was, but apparently I was different.

254
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:04.839
And at this time in my life, I was trying

255
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:09.519
to establish a career and get where I was going professionally,

256
00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:13.799
and I didn't really want to deal with anything other

257
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:17.359
than that. And I thought it, and after this happened,

258
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:21.359
I had a knowing that it was time for me

259
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:25.559
to invite who I was into the picture. And that

260
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:28.359
was not an easy thing for me, not an easy

261
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:32.720
thing at all. That meant stepping out and risking my

262
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:40.599
career and ridicule from my family and people, and I

263
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:44.519
won't say friends because friends don't do that, but it

264
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:47.440
did open up that part of my life, and I

265
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:50.519
had the desire, the need, almost like a hunger, to

266
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:53.440
see what else was there in my life. I continued

267
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:56.279
to do my business and was successful for quite a while.

268
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:06.319
The need to look for the a paranormal, supernatural, whatever

269
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:09.880
you want to call it, was bordering between the spiritual

270
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:13.039
and that there was an area in there I wanted

271
00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:18.640
to know about. And I believe now that by with

272
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.119
that sighting came that opening up a part of my

273
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.480
life that allowed me to say okay. And I remember

274
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.599
at one time in my life saying okay, okay, Kate,

275
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:31.400
bring it on. I'm ready, and then bring it on.

276
00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:39.079
It did. It's been a ride since then, and I yeah,

277
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:42.319
I'm just so happy to be where I'm at at

278
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:46.240
this time in my life when people like you are

279
00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:49.160
making all of this information as much as you can

280
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:53.640
get available to other people, and if there's such a

281
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:59.559
need a validation of people that are a little bit

282
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:04.480
different and or have the need to know more, so

283
00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:06.599
I'm going to thank you again for that. I think

284
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:07.279
you're amazing.

285
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.160
Thank you. I mean, I think it's important that there's

286
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:16.440
a lot of shows out there that are are able

287
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:21.559
to give platforms for people to share what they've experienced.

288
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:26.960
And why do you think that this time of history

289
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:30.359
is important for people to get things like that out there?

290
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:34.920
Do you think it's different from any other time or absolutely?

291
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:38.559
And you know, I'm the very last chapter of my

292
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:42.400
life and happy to be here, and now is the

293
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:47.240
time when people have an expectation of more and there's

294
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:50.440
fear that comes with that. You know. I just keep

295
00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:54.279
thinking that the thing that kept me going when I

296
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:58.119
was working and trying to accomplish something is nothing worth

297
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:05.160
having comes without a little bit of anxiety. Anxiety can

298
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:10.880
be fear, doubts, whatever, But it's when you walk through

299
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:14.759
that fear and say, okay, bring it on. And now

300
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:18.799
is that time. In my mind, I'm excited. I'm not

301
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:21.119
afraid anymore. I mean, what are you going to do

302
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:24.640
to me? I've already been there, and if you could,

303
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:28.519
I might just be okay with it. But it's not

304
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:34.319
that way anymore. People are almost we're getting there, allowed

305
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:38.400
to be who they are and have an opinion other

306
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:42.400
than the majority. But I think there's more of us now.

307
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:46.000
I know there's more people now that believe the way

308
00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:49.400
I do, and it's good to have company.

309
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:56.039
It is. It's something that I've noticed actually at the

310
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:00.160
last two events that I've been part oft is that

311
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:05.000
there's actually it's not so much community, it's not so

312
00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:07.119
much me talking to people that are at the booth.

313
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:12.279
It's that people are coming up. And especially in Oregon,

314
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:18.480
there were five to six conversations happening at my booth,

315
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.599
just people finding each other and then just talking with

316
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:25.759
each other. And there's really that like people want to

317
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:30.480
find other people that are similar to you know, they've

318
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:34.839
gone through what they've experienced. But it is another interesting

319
00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:37.680
pattern I find is that and this is kind of

320
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:41.759
like your story too, is that people experience this interaction

321
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:44.599
and then it kind of either unlocks something in their

322
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:49.160
life or really brings it to the surface. And do

323
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:53.240
you have any thoughts about, like what the connection between

324
00:22:53.960 --> 00:23:01.279
a bigfoot encounter and unlocking things in your own life

325
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:04.119
might be, whether it's paranormal or not.

326
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:13.839
I don't bother myself with a lot of details. I

327
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:16.720
go with my feelings. All I can tell you with

328
00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:22.559
myself is it just opened a door and it was

329
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:27.400
and I've enjoyed the people that have been brought into

330
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:30.400
my life, because you know, you can google me or

331
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:32.640
whatever and find out who I really am. But again,

332
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:35.799
I don't want this to be all about me. I

333
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:41.440
just feel like it was just something that had to happen.

334
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:44.119
It was a huge opening for me, and I'd had

335
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:50.000
several experiences as a little girl and buried it and

336
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:52.880
my mother would say to me, bless her little heart,

337
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:58.440
just don't talk about it. So anyway, now I can

338
00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:01.480
talk about it. Everybody can talk about anybody that wants

339
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:05.440
to hear or doesn't want to hear. Sometimes, but I've

340
00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:08.640
got I am very okay with people saying, oh, yeah,

341
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:13.640
that's just the way she is, and yeah Bigfoot, uh huh, okay,

342
00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:17.480
listen or don't listen, your choice, free will. That's why

343
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:19.400
we're here exactly.

344
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:24.519
So was it a common occurrence where you would be

345
00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:27.960
able to sense things that would happen before they happened,

346
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:30.680
kind of like how you knew that something was happening

347
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:32.359
before you actually saw the Bigfoot?

348
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:38.440
Oh? Yes, yeah, really definitely. Yeah. I got shown things

349
00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:41.359
when I was a child, and I got used to

350
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.759
seeing things that we're really out of the very much

351
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:49.640
out of my realm and being okay with it and

352
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:54.000
I've had and I very much believe in God source energy.

353
00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:58.680
And you know, I've had such good guidance in my

354
00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:03.880
life and I didn't always take it. But you know,

355
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:08.880
everything is anything is possible if you want it to be.

356
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:13.759
And I'm just excited about And I think bigfoot is

357
00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:17.640
such a big part of this. You know, it's yes,

358
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:21.279
it's supernatural, I think it is, but I think it's

359
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:24.960
more natural than a lot of things we see today.

360
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:30.039
So am I talking in circles? Well?

361
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:32.119
I mean, it's one of those things where it is

362
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:35.640
very hard to understand because on the one hand, you

363
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:40.319
have something where you know you're leaving tracks right physical

364
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:42.839
in some way perhaps, But on the other way you

365
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:47.200
have is affecting people. There are very strange things that

366
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:51.480
are seen, so things that are outside of the understanding

367
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:57.240
of mainstream science. It's just that it's very hard to

368
00:25:57.240 --> 00:25:58.720
get your mind around it.

369
00:25:58.759 --> 00:26:02.440
I think I've got some guidance I'll share with you

370
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:05.079
if you want to hear it. Sure, I was kind

371
00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:10.440
of told and from my whatevers, that I'm to walk

372
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:15.799
to Earth and leave a gentle foot print and forgive

373
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.319
others like I'd like to be forgiven. If I need

374
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:22.400
be and I do, but also leave a path that

375
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:25.480
maybe will help other people get where they're going, not

376
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:30.440
in my steps, but beside me and around me, and

377
00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:32.799
kindness is always first.

378
00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:40.279
Well, I think that that's great advice, you know, to

379
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:45.960
get and also to give for sure what you saw

380
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:48.880
that day. Would you ever want to see something like

381
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:49.440
that again?

382
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:55.599
Well, yes, I think so. I think I'm ready for it.

383
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:59.880
I know that my daughter and her husband camp up

384
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:02.319
in that area and I we'd laugh, we have a

385
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:05.319
lot of humor, and she would love to see it.

386
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:11.599
And funny enough, some blackform went by their their RV window,

387
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.160
and of course they convinced each other it was a wolf.

388
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:18.839
Will the roof the windows are probably five or six

389
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:22.480
feet high, so go figure that one. But yeah, I

390
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.480
I would, I would welcome it. Wow.

391
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:29.039
Yeah, that would be an extremely large wolf. And that

392
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:30.920
was in the Bluett Pass area as well.

393
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.519
Yes, I better not say where.

394
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:40.519
No problem? Good yeah, good stuff, good stuff? Wow?

395
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:41.559
Uh.

396
00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:44.119
Brenda. I am so glad you're able to come on

397
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:46.920
the show today and to spend a bit of time

398
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:50.759
sharing about what you experienced in the in the Bluett

399
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:58.200
Pass area of Washington. Hopefully this will unlock maybe memory

400
00:27:58.319 --> 00:28:01.480
or two in a listener's mind, and maybe they'll be

401
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:04.839
able to reach out as well. But I want to

402
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:06.599
make sure that you were able to share everything that

403
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:09.640
you came on the show to share today, Brenda.

404
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:15.000
I certainly have, and probably more than I intended. You're

405
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:17.839
a very good narrator.

406
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:22.279

00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:23.559
