with the show. All right, Bigfest Society, You've got the

14
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:44.960
privilege of talking to Jason Kenzie. Jason Kenzie is a filmmaker.

15
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.000
You may have seen some of his work. I'm going

16
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:50.280
to have him talk about that in just a minute.

17
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.439
But I was privileged to be able to meet him

18
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:59.119
at the Oakridge, Oregon Sasquatch Summerfest festival just recently earlier

19
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.240
this year. It was a privilege chatting with him and

20
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:06.040
being able to be involved with some interesting research which

21
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:10.239
you will all hear about in different ways. Jason, how's

22
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:10.879
it going today?

23
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.159
Very good? Thanks for asking, Amara.

24
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.599
Absolutely, do you mind sharing with the audience a little

25
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.400
bit about what it is that you do and how

26
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.560
you got into all this wild bigfoot stuff?

27
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.480
Okay. I've always been a photographer and for a journalist.

28
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:31.359
I actually started as a event and wedding for the

29
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:36.000
journalist and photographers. And then one day someone walked up

30
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.120
to me at an event and said, Hey, will you

31
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.439
take pictures of my dog? And I was like, okay,

32
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.400
I could take pictures of the dog, and you want

33
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.959
to be in the picture and the owner said no.

34
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.519
I said okay, and I met up with them and

35
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.680
I took these beautiful pictures of his dog, and he

36
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.959
told me some stories about his dog that really touched me.

37
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.200
That made me think, I wonder if other people will

38
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:05.359
have similar stories about their pets. So I started doing

39
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:10.479
photography with people's pets and asking them questions about interesting

40
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.919
things about their pets, like their dogs and cats. So

41
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.639
one day someone came to me and said, Hey, I

42
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.479
have a pet Cayman, which is similar to a crocodile

43
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.000
or an alligator. I was about three to four feet

44
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.240
long and it lived in a makeshift aquarium bath tub

45
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.800
in his basement. So after telling everyone that this guy

46
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.479
has a cayman as a pet and wants me to

47
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.479
photograph it, no one believed me. So I went out

48
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.120
and purchased a video camera and I went to the

49
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:47.120
photoshoot and I filmed behind the scenes of this incredible

50
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.120
photo shoot. Couldn't believe how close I can get to

51
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:54.199
this little cayman and it was so exciting, and I

52
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.520
earned the trust from the owner. He asked me not

53
00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.919
to put his name out there or pictures of him,

54
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.319
and don't let people know where his place was. First

55
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.599
came in and he trusted me after that. So his

56
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:12.560
friends also had exotic animals as pets, So then I

57
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:18.039
started getting requested to photograph their animals. So I start

58
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.879
flying all over North America photographing people with tigers and

59
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.960
grizzly bears and greens and kangaroos and everything in between.

60
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:34.240
Wolves and bobcats and hostages. Yeah, it was just so

61
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.159
much fun, and I would film the behind the scenes,

62
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.639
and I made a web series called My Animal Adventures,

63
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.879
which he can find on YouTube, actually called Jason Tenzee's

64
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.520
Animal Adventures, and there's over four hundred behind the scenes

65
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:53.840
of my animal photoshoots for a lot of fun. And

66
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.000
then in twenty ninth the world shut down and I

67
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:02.240
wasn't able to do my animalsventures anymore, and I was

68
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.400
driving myself nuts. I didn't know what I could do,

69
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.159
and I was pacing back and forth, and one day

70
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.879
my buddy Paul joked to me and said, heck, maybe

71
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.120
he should do something on sasquatch. Maybe he's an animal,

72
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:17.240
and I was like, h We laughed about it at first,

73
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:21.000
and I thought, yeah, might be on to something, Maybe

74
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.839
sasquatch is an animal of some kind. I went and

75
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:28.800
interviewed a person who had an encounter class a encounter

76
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.839
with a bigfoot walked up to him and I found

77
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.839
it fascinating, and so he sent me to someone else

78
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.199
who had a class A sighting where they were fishing

79
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:44.439
and the sasquatch stood over him and pointed as a

80
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.680
show him something. And when he looked over and looked back,

81
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.199
the creature had walked back into the forest. So then

82
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:58.360
I started filming and interviewing, and I thought, I'm going

83
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.480
to do a documentary. I got introduced to the First

84
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:06.839
Nations people and they pointed me to an area in

85
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.279
the forest, deep in the forest, where they think that

86
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:13.519
the bigfoots live. And so when I went into the

87
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.160
forest and went deep into the forest, I found a

88
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:21.560
mountain lake. And in this mountain lake there were hundreds

89
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.240
of these giant footprints that went right through it, and

90
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.759
I filmed it. I had a drone and I would

91
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.000
drone it from the top and you could clearly see

92
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.160
all the footprints. And I went and took the footage

93
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.199
to the First Nations people and they told me that

94
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:41.720
I found the migration path of the Bigfoot, of the

95
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:46.360
Sasquats people that migrated from Alaska all the way to California.

96
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.759
I put it all together into a documentary, my very

97
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.240
first one, and I put it out there on YouTube

98
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.720
and it just blew up. And then after that I

99
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:02.600
started getting film awards. So I won probably about thirteen

100
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:07.319
International Film awards for number one, and number two, number three,

101
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:11.879
number four, and I think number five. That's some awards too.

102
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:17.079
And what was happening was Bigfoot investigators. They had these

103
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.759
groups and they would contact me and they would fly

104
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.480
me in with my gear and they want me to

105
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.879
film us looking for evidence, and we would go deep

106
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:35.000
into the forest, sometimes either by helicopter, by boat, by

107
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.319
like ATV, like any which way to get deep into

108
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.199
the forest. And the one reason I love going deep

109
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:48.920
into the forest, it's if something happens, if we hear something,

110
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.920
or we find something, or we see something. We know

111
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:57.360
it can't be human because we're so off the grid

112
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.199
and off the beaten path. But the chances of someone

113
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.920
just happened to be walking by would be next to

114
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.879
swim to next. And yeah, it's been incredible. I've been

115
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:15.480
to over twenty different states, over thirty different locations throughout

116
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:20.519
North America, and I've seen some crazy stuff in the forest.

117
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:25.560
I had been roared at, streamed at, howled at, rocks

118
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.680
thrown at me. I've found some of the strangest three structures,

119
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:34.040
these giant axes. I've had an incident of a spider

120
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.519
call where this creature just went right across the trail

121
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.800
and fund of me. It was in the forest just

122
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:45.199
like that. It was so quick, and I remember the

123
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.720
eye shine. The eyes just stared at me the whole time.

124
00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:51.959
It was as if it was on a gimbal or

125
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:57.720
a stabilization. There was no bobbing, It was straight and

126
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.000
into the forest. It went. Yeah, it's just been a

127
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:06.040
really amazing ride and I hope to continue. I'm up

128
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.680
to fifteen documentaries right now.

129
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.480
You have a very intense backlog of documentaries and talking

130
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.959
to your team because it's not just you that goes

131
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:17.839
out on these you have a whole team with you

132
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.920
as well, full of they're just great people. And you

133
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.439
have a few that you're currently working on getting ready

134
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.240
for release. And that doesn't even include the Oakridge footage

135
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.960
that was just shot, which is incredible. You are constantly

136
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:35.159
working on this for sure.

137
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:42.559
Yes, I have five more documentaries. There's two paranormal documentaries

138
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:46.279
that I'm working on too, But yeah, there's so now.

139
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.840
I have about six searching for Fastquatch documentaries I'm working on,

140
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:55.320
and soon there's going to be another two. I'm flying

141
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.639
out to Michigan and into the Ozarks to go after

142
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:04.240
the Howler, which is possibly another big foot creature.

143
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.519
That will be extremely interesting. There's a lot of different

144
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:12.399
viewpoints for the Ozark Howler. What's the most remote you

145
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:16.159
think that you've gone on these documentary expeditions.

146
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:21.120
So I don't know if anyone knows British Columbia, but

147
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.279
we have some of the most dense forests. Anywhere in

148
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:29.840
the world. We have places where humans haven't placed their feet.

149
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.519
And one time I took a helicopter and I got

150
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.320
dropped off way off by Pitt Lake, just on the

151
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:40.960
back side of the mountains, and I was one hundreds

152
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:45.399
of miles in every direction of any civilization. And I

153
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:50.559
spent a couple nights in the wilderness, and I found

154
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:53.879
trees that were pulled out of the ground and turned

155
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.759
upside down. They walked over walked the trees somewhere and

156
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.679
just ram them back into the ground. I found about

157
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.399
four or five of them. I've found footprints, I've seen

158
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.679
the eye Shine. That's probably the most remote, but I've

159
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:14.159
done I being yeah Oakridge when we're out there by

160
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:18.240
the meadow. That's pretty remote out there. And we actually

161
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.960
turned onto a couple other roads off the main road.

162
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:27.399
We turned off and went even deeper into the forest.

163
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.879
But I really love going off the bean path, for sure.

164
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:34.559
I don't really like to stick on the path.

165
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.879
Oh absolutely. I'll share a little story about how wild

166
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.200
you guys get, and then if you want me to

167
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.120
take it out, that's fine. But I remember the night

168
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.159
we took you guys up as a film crew one

169
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:49.919
of the nights and I was hanging out with Steve

170
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.720
and you guys said something to the effect of, we'll

171
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:59.279
see you later. We're headed out ic okay, And then

172
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:03.240
you guys just went for it. We were driving four

173
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.480
service roads for what felt like forty five minutes trying

174
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.799
to track you guys down, and you guys were up

175
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:11.679
on top of a mountain, and I think it's just

176
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:16.279
it was. It's amazing that we we saw all of

177
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:19.320
a sudden, your flashlight come off the top of a mountain.

178
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.159
You were running down the side of the mountain in

179
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.879
the dark around twelve o'clock, and I was like, these

180
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.120
guys are wild. This is the craziest thing I've ever seen.

181
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:32.519
They are in this one h percent. I'm just glad

182
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:33.000
we found you.

183
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:37.519
Oh I could not you know what I now that

184
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:40.519
you said that. Back then, I was like, Wow, what

185
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:44.360
are the odds that we come down the mountain after

186
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.320
about forty five minutes to an hour being out there

187
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.639
and we just have to come across you. I was like,

188
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:53.679
show we were very remote and to the point where

189
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:59.120
we actually found we found those weird sticks, the knots

190
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.440
of the tree that were pulled out of the trees

191
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.759
and laid in a row, and then again I was

192
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.320
filming it. I'm so glad that I had my video

193
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.159
attimement with me at all times because some of the

194
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.039
stop people wouln't believe. But there was the knots of

195
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.559
a tree. Imagine pulling one of those out of the tree,

196
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.799
like just the knot, so it goes right down to

197
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:26.000
a point. And we found them lying on a stump

198
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:30.360
in a row, about five of them. So we didn't

199
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.200
know Chad or Gwndol, and they thought maybe it was

200
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:36.519
left for us as a gift, so we took them,

201
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:41.519
but in turn I left them. We left them gifts,

202
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:46.279
so I can't remember what Grendam left, but I left

203
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:51.919
them a Canadian dime. It was a Canadian ten cent coin,

204
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:55.000
which I hope I didn't insult them because it's pretty

205
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:56.159
much worth nothing.

206
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:03.440
That is hilarious, big qu go, what's it's worth nothing?

207
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:05.039
I'm going to kill that guy next.

208
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.039
To my CEO that could be that could push it

209
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.759
over the edge for sure. That that's really interesting. I

210
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.000
think Chad may have showed me a picture of that,

211
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:14.879
and it was the weirdest, one of the weirdest things

212
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:18.440
I've ever seen. That whole area is weird. But has

213
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.360
there been a time when and let's you can think

214
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.240
of all your expeditions, which are a lot, has there

215
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:27.360
been a time where just things have really escalated a

216
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.960
lot and you've been like, man, if I could get

217
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:32.679
out of here, I probably would get out of here

218
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:34.799
right now. It's just it's very intense right now.

219
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.919
I went to Texas. I think it's the river that

220
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.080
separates Louisiana and Texas, and we were right on the

221
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.759
border of that. And it's one thing I don't usually

222
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.960
tell people. And the reason why I don't tell people

223
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:57.120
is because I don't know. I feel that people might

224
00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:02.120
think the negative of it. But your goals and when

225
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:06.200
you see the documentary, it's it's number five searching for Sasquatch.

226
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:12.159
Number five called you know, the Texas Screams. So I

227
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:16.360
went into this area to go and interview a guy

228
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.840
who said that he shot and potentially killed the Bigfoot.

229
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.399
So I was excited to meet this guy and I

230
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:27.919
wanted to interview him and I wanted to hear his story.

231
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:30.440
Even though some people said, why do you want to

232
00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:34.080
like put that kind of negativity into your docks? So

233
00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:36.840
it's kind of important to get all the facts from

234
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:41.200
all sides. We waited for him from the middle of

235
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:46.519
the night. He shows up, he pulls up. He were

236
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.840
sleeping and he pulls up in his truck, and the

237
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:55.759
truck the I say, either he had cut off the

238
00:14:55.879 --> 00:15:00.759
exhaust or he added a piece to his exhaust, because

239
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:04.559
it was loud. The exhaust was so loud it was

240
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:08.519
like bud like. I couldn't even I couldn't even explain

241
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:10.759
exactly how loud it was. It was. You could hear

242
00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.399
him coming from miles He had all the windows down

243
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:19.279
and he was blasting this music, which was like death music,

244
00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:23.360
you know, kill kill back, kail, kill kilter. He had

245
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:28.080
it blasting so loud that then again you could still

246
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:29.600
hear him coming for a mile away.

247
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:33.679
Big so society will be right back after these messages.

248
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:49.639
He was.

249
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:52.919
He pulled up and he steps out of the vehicle,

250
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:57.440
his vehicle, and he's talking on his headset and the

251
00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:01.120
music is just blurring. And then he it wasn't even music,

252
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:05.559
it was just noise. He turned it off and he

253
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:07.960
went and I think he had a chainsaw and he

254
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:13.440
was cutting down logs. The entire force around us erupted

255
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:18.360
in streams and howls and roars.

256
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:20.879
All around us. It was nuts.

257
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.440
It went on for an hour, these howls, and then

258
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:27.360
there was coyotes who were howling at the same time.

259
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:31.919
And I loved it. I loved that. I loved it

260
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:36.320
that when coyotes are howling too, at the same time

261
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:40.679
as these unexplained howls, because you can clearly tell the

262
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:46.480
difference between the coyote howls and the unexplained creatures or whatever.

263
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:50.759
They are howling, and then we're getting roars. And it

264
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:55.440
went on for so long, and I was wondering that

265
00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:00.519
maybe it was because she may bee really he did

266
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:06.119
shoot and kill this bigfoot creature, and that that creature

267
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:10.960
the bigfoots recognized him and were pissed off, and that's

268
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.400
why they were going off. They went off for so

269
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:16.480
long that it got to the point that we were

270
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.519
all sitting around talking and just talking about I don't know,

271
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:23.000
cooking a hot dog on the on the fire, and

272
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:26.079
it's so, how's the hot dog? We're going to be

273
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.599
eating a whole bunch of that or another howl. So anyway,

274
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.759
so about the hot dogs and the stuff around the fire.

275
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:36.720
But that's how it was. They were howling and screaming

276
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:39.599
so much around us for so long that we got

277
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:43.400
numb to it. We basically was like, oh, okay, another howl.

278
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:47.160
But I didn't think for one second that I needed

279
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:50.680
to get out. There was times. There was a time

280
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:52.920
where something walked up to me in a hammock tent

281
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:58.039
and five feet are eight feet from me, it rented

282
00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:01.400
in my ear and I started shaking so badly that

283
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:04.559
I was like, if this is a bear or a

284
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:07.920
wall bore, and I'm going to be injured here. And

285
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:10.519
That's pretty much one of the only times where I've

286
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:15.480
really thought, Okay, I'm in grave danger at this moment.

287
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:20.279
Wow, that is incredible. That area you're talking about in Texas,

288
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:25.279
it is so intense. I've gotten witness reports and interviewed

289
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:28.440
people from that area you're referring to that are just

290
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:33.160
absolutely insane. So I could definitely agree with you that, Yeah,

291
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:36.200
I'm sure that you. I don't think it's out of

292
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.880
the question that you would experience something like that in

293
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.720
that area is so full of bigfoot. It's intense.

294
00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:46.359
You should see that. You should see the documentary. Pretty wild.

295
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:48.839
We even got something that stood up in the forest.

296
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.440
We went to a graveyard. We went to a graveyard

297
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:54.680
in the middle of the forest. It wasn't like there

298
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:57.519
was like a major road that went to this graveyard.

299
00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:01.039
We had to take ATVs to this graveyard in the

300
00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:04.559
middle of the forest, and there was a there was

301
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:07.839
a gate off to the side that led to a

302
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:12.960
farmer's to a farm way down the way. And we

303
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:15.359
were there for forty five minutes and we're howling and

304
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:18.880
we're doing wood knocks and I walked over to the

305
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.279
gate and there was a sign on it saying do

306
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:27.680
not cross. Violators will be shot. And then I looked

307
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:30.680
at everyone, so I walked around it, and just so

308
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.160
I walked around it, I heard walking in the forest

309
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:36.559
and I'm like, no, that's no kitmunk, and that's there's

310
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:39.279
something heavy walking. I turned to everyone and said, okay,

311
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:44.119
there's something walking. Everyone scattered. They went beyond it, went

312
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:47.640
on the other side of the gate, and they stood up.

313
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.200
So I ran into the forest with my video camera

314
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:54.640
because I wanted to capture the audio the sound of

315
00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:59.000
it walking. Well, everyone pulled out their flours and they

316
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:03.960
were look and at one point you actually see something

317
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.720
on the ground and it was hot and it stood up.

318
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:09.880
It literally stood up, and someone took a picture of it,

319
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:14.640
and it was like, either it was a sasquatch creature

320
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:17.039
or because it looked like whatever it was didn't have

321
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:20.680
any clothes on. So either it was a farmer naked

322
00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:23.079
walking it from the fort, or it was a big

323
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:25.680
foot or something that didn't have clothes on. Because when

324
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:29.119
I went and stood right next to the trees, you

325
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:33.160
could clearly see my clothes. Even on flur I like,

326
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.799
I look white hot, but you could clearly see I

327
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:41.160
was wearing clothes. But next to whether the creature it

328
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:44.519
was naked or you have that photograph and it's actually

329
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:45.359
pretty cool to see.

330
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:49.960
Man. The good thing. The thing that I noticed about

331
00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:52.759
you is that the Jason that you get in the

332
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:56.000
documentaries is the actual Jason in real life, which is

333
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:01.480
really cool. That you are a one hundred percent passionate individual,

334
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:05.559
fun loving, like to have a good time, but you

335
00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:11.000
are very intensely focused on going after the Sasquat subject

336
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.119
and documenting what you can. Is very cool to watch

337
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:20.000
someone and everyone on your crew shares the same passion

338
00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:23.680
as well, so it is very cool to see the

339
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:26.240
other thing I want to mention real quick before I

340
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:29.039
forget is you have a really cool graphic novel and

341
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:31.240
I picked up one of those for my son. He

342
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:34.000
has just read it cover to cover and I thought

343
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:36.240
it was cool you signed it. But the graphic novel.

344
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:38.799
If you guys are into like Marvel graphic novels and

345
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:42.319
stuff like that, you should definitely check out Jason's graphic novel.

346
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:43.400
It is very cool.

347
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:46.839
Thank you. Yeah, I do try, like I am trying

348
00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:52.160
to find the evidence of these creatures. There's something out there.

349
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:55.480
When I first started five years ago, going on six

350
00:21:55.599 --> 00:22:00.960
years now, I was a twenty percent believer in Bigfoot,

351
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:05.920
and after almost six years of searching and the crazy

352
00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:10.440
stuff that I've seen in the dark forest, I'm a

353
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:13.519
fifty percent believer. And the reason why I'm fifty percent

354
00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:16.000
and not one hundred percent is because I haven't had

355
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:19.880
a daytime sighting yet. I'm hoping to get that soon.

356
00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:24.599
I just need that daytime sighting for myself to truly

357
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:29.039
believe that these creatures are one hundred percent real, because

358
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:32.039
so far, I've seen the eye shine and I've seen

359
00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:37.000
the shadow of them, like they move so fast and

360
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.119
for some reason, they know how to stand just outside

361
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:43.880
of the infrared beam of light that comes from your

362
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:44.759
video camera.

363
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:50.359
We'll say this as a teaser to another Oakridge episode

364
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:53.920
that I'm putting together. But if you had been if

365
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:56.440
you had been in Oakridge a few days earlier, you

366
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.680
would have had that daytime sighting.

367
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:01.880
Correct, I probably would have.

368
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:04.799
Yep, I probably would have so close, so close.

369
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:09.839
I know Chad at least had multiple daytime sightings and

370
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:12.519
I'll be talking to him about that. That was before

371
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:14.720
I got there as well, and in fact, I want

372
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:16.599
to say it was even the same day I got there.

373
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:19.319
They were out earlier in the day. But that'll be

374
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:24.359
discussed more in depth in another episode about Oakridge. But

375
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:28.480
have you ever been to the southeast Oklahoma area yet, Jason.

376
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:31.000
I haven't not yet.

377
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:33.519
Hopefully I would love.

378
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:35.759
To see what you come up with if you can

379
00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:39.160
ever make it down there. I think I used to

380
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:44.000
think that was the number one best area and it

381
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:46.799
probably is really high up there, But after being an

382
00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:51.880
Oakridge I was, man, that area is pretty intense where

383
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:55.759
we were at as well. You mentioned a spider crawling

384
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:59.480
sasquatch incident. Can you share more about that? That sounds

385
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:01.240
like very interesting?

386
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:06.599
Yeah, So it was in the up Michigan. We had

387
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:12.079
taken trucks and off road way deep into the up.

388
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:14.839
It took us almost an hour just to get to

389
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:19.519
this to base Camp one, and that's where we parked

390
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:23.279
our the vehicles and we made a camp with all

391
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:26.319
the tents right there by the campfire, and we had

392
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:30.880
set up all the of the equipment. So I'm sitting

393
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:35.440
around a campfire and we had just we had just

394
00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:39.480
been hanging out that day and it was nighttime. Now

395
00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:43.640
it's probably about eleven PM, and one of the Bigfoot

396
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:47.880
researchers comes into camp and says, hey, points to one

397
00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:50.400
of the other guys and says, hey, let's go back

398
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:54.599
and get the audio recorder that we put out earlier

399
00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:57.680
in the day. And the other big Foot researcher was like,

400
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:01.799
no way, I'm not going out there. No, it's I'm

401
00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:04.160
just I'm scared. I don't want to go up there.

402
00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:07.920
So the other researcher was like, I could see him go,

403
00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:10.519
and then I stood up and said I'll go. So

404
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:15.240
I grabbed my video camera and off we went. And

405
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:19.039
we were probably about probably half an hour walk into

406
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:24.240
the forest, going deeper into the forest, and I was

407
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:29.119
photographing and filming all the tree breaks, so all the

408
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:33.119
branches that were broken and twisted. A lot of these

409
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:36.920
researchers believed that these creatures they do these tree breaks,

410
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:40.000
but they twist it at the same time, which is

411
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:45.799
really hard to do. Even a small branch, trying to

412
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:49.640
break it and twist it is almost impossible. And I

413
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:53.799
was fascinated. So I'm filming muscle filmed about ten of

414
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:56.839
them so far, and we're walking and we come to

415
00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:59.480
this area where all the trees had been pushed over

416
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:07.640
cross the path, and there was probably about six trees

417
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:10.359
in a row. They were all pushed over, but the

418
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:14.519
roots weren't showing. And these were big trees. These were

419
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:20.039
probably about eight maybe eight to twelve inches in diameter,

420
00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:23.839
so they were bigger than a dinner plate, these trees.

421
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:29.480
But they were pushed over almost like bend bent over

422
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:32.640
the trail where we had the basically, and all the

423
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:35.920
trees were straight before it and after it, like it

424
00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:39.279
was pretty thick on either side except for the big patch,

425
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:42.640
as if something had come and laid them all down.

426
00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:47.319
And we had to crawl through and over and under

427
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:52.119
these trees to get through. And then we carried on

428
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:55.000
and I'm still filming all these tree breaks. And we

429
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:57.400
get to the end and we know no one's been

430
00:26:57.440 --> 00:26:59.799
down there for a very long time, at least a

431
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:02.920
couple for years, because the grass that we were walking

432
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:07.799
through at one point was probably about two feet two

433
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.680
feet tall, and it was very eerie. It was dark,

434
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:14.200
it was quiet. We get to the far end and

435
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:16.799
we gathered and we got the recorder and we start

436
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:22.400
heading back. As we're heading back, we took a wrong

437
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:26.200
turn and we went for maybe a thousand feet the

438
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:30.279
long way, and then we're seeing Kruger tracks and I

439
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:32.640
don't think it was bear tracks. We saw Tuger tracks.

440
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:35.880
I think we saw wolf tracks. And then we.

441
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:36.839
Walked back.

442
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:41.000
And we found the spot where we missed the turn,

443
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.319
and we started walking more. And as we were walking,

444
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.359
we see these this tree branch that's over top of

445
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:53.079
the trail like it's just it's hanging and it's a

446
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:57.319
tree break, literally two of them over top of the trail,

447
00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:01.559
hanging there to the point where as we're walking up,

448
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:05.400
I turned to the research and I said, hey, I

449
00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:08.559
don't remember that being there because I was filming all

450
00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:11.680
the teeth breaks because I was fascinated and to the

451
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:14.160
point where when we walked up to it, I had

452
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:17.440
to turn my head and walk around it, like move

453
00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:19.640
around it, like walk to the side, because it was

454
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:22.079
in the middle, and you could see it was just

455
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:26.039
broken because the sap was still dripping, like it was

456
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:29.599
still wet. And all of a sudden, as we're looking

457
00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:33.079
at it, we hear cock from behind us, and we

458
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:38.480
turned around and Blake had taken his gun. He had

459
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:41.240
a gun with him, and he held his gun and

460
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:44.759
we're looking down at the far end of this trail

461
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.160
and there was nothing there. And then he put his

462
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:50.799
gun back down, and then all of a sudden, I

463
00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:55.400
saw some eyeshine right there, and I'm like, oh my gosh,

464
00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:58.160
I think I see it, and I'm trying to get

465
00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:01.240
my camera to focus on it. You could clearly see

466
00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:04.599
it was looking at us. It was tall, I would say,

467
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:09.400
probably at least eight feet nine feet tall. And then

468
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:15.319
all of a sudden, it closed its eyes, and after

469
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:20.279
about a minute it came back out like the eyes

470
00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:24.240
shine came out really slowly, and there was again then

471
00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:29.519
a smaller creature had walked out and it opened its

472
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:31.599
eyes and looked at us, and it was much smaller.

473
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:36.119
It probably about seven seven feet with at least a

474
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:39.440
couple of feet smaller than the other one. And it's

475
00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:42.359
just standing there looking at us, and it was just

476
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:46.720
out of the reach of my infrared light on my camera.

477
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:54.720
And as we're watching it, Blake goes. You could hear cracking.

478
00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:58.680
He's listened and hear cracking all around us, and he's

479
00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:02.319
I think there's more of them. They're circling us, and

480
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:05.279
I'm standing there. I'm figuring out inside. But I have

481
00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:08.079
a rule. I have two rules when I go out

482
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:12.200
into the force. If I go out with people. Number

483
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:15.799
one rule is don't run. That's my rule. Do not

484
00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:20.480
run if something happens, just stand your ground because right

485
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:22.359
in the middle of the forest, these creatures are going

486
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:24.359
to kill you. They're just going to kill you. There's

487
00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:28.359
nothing you can do. So by running you could if

488
00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:31.799
it was a cougar or a bear, they would chase

489
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:37.880
after you because predator and prey, right and also the

490
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:41.920
sasquats people would probably start laughing, ah, scared to cat?

491
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:44.920
Who else? I just don't run. And the second rule

492
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:47.559
I have right to the first rule is no hoaxing.

493
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:51.119
That's basically my number one rule. If I go out

494
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:54.319
with people, don't hoax, don't go throwing something into the

495
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:56.720
forest and making it sound like there's something there.

496
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:13.839
Makes a society who will be right back after these messages.

497
00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:19.440
I really want this to be real. And then number

498
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.960
two is don't run. So we're standing there, I'm looking

499
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:27.440
at it. We're looking at these two eyeshine there's whatever

500
00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:29.640
they are, and then all of a sudden, they closed

501
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:33.599
their eyes and I don't know whether they close their

502
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:36.119
eyes or they just turned their heads and they walked

503
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:39.359
into the forest. We walked up there really fast to

504
00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:44.160
that area, like a minute after the eye shines disappeared,

505
00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:48.000
and sure enough, besides where they were standing was a

506
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:51.799
big open spot in the trees. The trees on either

507
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:55.440
side of us were sick, except for that one spot

508
00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:57.960
where it was been opening where something had just walked

509
00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:02.079
right through. So we walked back to the spot with

510
00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:05.839
we wanted to investigate a little bit more of the

511
00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:11.160
tree break. So as we're looking, I did this maneuver

512
00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:18.079
where I pretended to walk one way and I turned

513
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:22.240
really fast, and they're standing in front of me. So

514
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:24.720
Blake was looking the other direction because he was still

515
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:27.640
looking down the way to see if you could see

516
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:30.720
any more of the eye shine, and I was standing

517
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:34.839
beside him, looking towards where he was looking, and then

518
00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:37.880
I pretended to take a step forward, when really I

519
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:41.200
took a step forward and turned really fast, and there

520
00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:44.640
something that was probably seven or eight feet tall dropped

521
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:46.839
to the ground in front of me, about twenty feet

522
00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:50.319
twenty five feet and it went right over the trail.

523
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.880
It looked like a giant spider like massive with the

524
00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:57.839
eye shine that just and I'm looking at it that

525
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:01.319
the thing is my camera. Your camera was facing my

526
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:05.440
facing me because I was talking on camera explaining what

527
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:10.799
was happening. So when I turned my eyes because of

528
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:15.960
the light of my screen, my eyes were still adjusting

529
00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:18.720
back and forth. And I was looking at it as

530
00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:21.000
it went across, and I think there was a second

531
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:24.359
one too that was behind and it stepped behind the tree,

532
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:26.640
but I was so focused on the one on the

533
00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:29.920
ground that I'm looking at it going into the cougar

534
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:35.000
because I know cougars they do hunch down when they're

535
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:37.200
about to attack, right, you know how cats will go

536
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:40.240
right down. So I'm looking at it, going, oh my god.

537
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:43.240
And when right across it was gone. So now I'm

538
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:45.480
thinking to myself. Did I just what was that?

539
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:46.319
Did?

540
00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:50.559
Was it just my imagination of the shadows of the

541
00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:54.000
darkness playing tricks on me because I was really hyper

542
00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:58.799
and very emotional and basically scared. So that's what I was.

543
00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:03.240
I would just verified And then what I didn't see

544
00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:07.519
in real time I saw when I was editing the

545
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:13.440
footage two months later where I saw the eye shine

546
00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:16.280
behind my head because I walked to the spot where

547
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:18.440
I saw whatever it was when I crossed the trail.

548
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:22.559
What I did, I was talking on camera talking about

549
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:26.400
and I could I saw the eye shine behind my head,

550
00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:29.440
probably within five feet behind me. All I would have

551
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:32.159
done is just turned and looked. I probably would have

552
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:35.280
seen it at the moment. I didn't see it. But

553
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:37.719
when you if you watch the documentary, I think it's

554
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:42.599
a number that is on number three. Number two and

555
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:45.920
three is part one and two, but number three is

556
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:48.679
the very is the ending with the spider call, and

557
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:52.199
you actually see the eye shine behind my head. So yeah,

558
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:57.559
that is my whatever my spider crawling story is wild.

559
00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:01.119
I have not had a visual of any kind. Yeah,

560
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:05.239
it almost feels like I'm being built up slowly to it.

561
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:08.199
I think that if you were to go zero to

562
00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:13.920
sixty with you know, seeing something like that. Man, I'm

563
00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:15.960
not quite sure what it would do to you, But

564
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:19.960
I experienced some roars and screams and oakridge and who

565
00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:24.079
knows what will happen next? For sure? Have you gone

566
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:27.599
up to Uh, there's a property in northern Minnesota with

567
00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:31.199
a gentleman named Randy. Were you involved with going up there?

568
00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:36.599
So I did a documentary on Randy's place. It's called

569
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:38.559
the Minnesota Roars.

570
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:40.599
How was that?

571
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:41.639
Is? Number ten?

572
00:35:41.960 --> 00:35:42.679
How was that?

573
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:49.360
Yeah? It was quite interesting. So he would take us

574
00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:53.639
to where all the pre structors that he's found on

575
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:57.360
his property, all these pre structures, and yeah, they were

576
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:00.159
very fascinating. There was one point where we went to

577
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:05.119
a pole. But how all this bigfoot hair that? Randy says,

578
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:07.400
that's what it was, and he said he's seen these

579
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:11.679
bigfoot creatures walking across that. It was a long a

580
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:15.920
what do you call it? A those power lines going

581
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:19.880
up the mountain going into the forest. Yeah, a clearcut.

582
00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:22.440
So it was a clear cut. His place is directly

583
00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:25.239
next to a clear cut. And he said he's seen

584
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:29.400
a couple of times the sasquatch And so in front

585
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:31.519
of me right now, I'm holding some of that hair

586
00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:37.559
that I pulled off of the of the pole, and

587
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:39.480
there was quite a bit of it. Now, I'm not

588
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:41.840
saying it was bigfoot hair because I haven't got it tested.

589
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:44.800
For all we know it was there. It is quite

590
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:49.199
fascinating that it was interesting. I had mixed feelings with

591
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:53.199
Randy's property. I wasn't sure if somebody was going there

592
00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:58.719
and hoaxing him and building these tree structors behind his back.

593
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:02.239
But I do know that there has been a couple

594
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:05.800
three structures that he had no idea about. The spider

595
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:08.800
like I saw. I found a tree structure that looks

596
00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:12.920
like a spider web. So it was at nighttime and

597
00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:16.639
we stumbled on it and it was huge. It was big.

598
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:20.360
All the trees were woven on it, and it looked

599
00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:24.199
like a giant spider web. And he didn't know about it,

600
00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:29.880
because when I got back to Canada, he called me asking, hey,

601
00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:32.039
where did you find that tree structure that looked like

602
00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:35.280
a spider web? And I explained it to him, and

603
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:37.280
so he went out looking for it and then he

604
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:42.360
called me from the forest again saying, hey, I can't

605
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:45.519
find it. Exactly where did you find it? And then

606
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:48.320
I explained it to him, and then the next message

607
00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:51.440
I got from him was when he got there, the

608
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:56.440
tree structor was knocked down. It was on the ground. Yeah,

609
00:37:56.519 --> 00:37:59.039
it's interesting. If you ever get a chance to go

610
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:01.800
up there and explore his land, you should.

611
00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:05.039
I've interviewed Randy. I believe he even gave me an

612
00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:08.639
invite to go up there. And the interesting thing is

613
00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:14.079
I also had other people reach out after I interviewed him, saying, yes,

614
00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:16.719
we know where this property is, we live near it

615
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:19.960
to and we have stuff happen on our property as well,

616
00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:22.199
which I thought was very interesting. It didn't lead to

617
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:25.960
any interviews, but it's always interesting to hear multiple people

618
00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:30.639
in the same area. Another thing that happened when we

619
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:34.880
were near the meadow, I remember Sherry had been walking

620
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:38.599
to our area and she had said that something had

621
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:41.519
actually called her name from the woods, which I wasn't

622
00:38:41.519 --> 00:38:44.400
really sure how to deal with. That is very strange.

623
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:46.159
Have other things like that happened.

624
00:38:48.400 --> 00:38:56.719
So I have caught whistles I've called like kids playing

625
00:38:57.880 --> 00:39:01.599
in the forest. We're talking one in the morning and

626
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:05.760
deep in the forest catching what sounded like children playing.

627
00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:11.239
Only briefly. I've caught singing like melody, like a melody

628
00:39:11.360 --> 00:39:15.920
of some kind of an enchanted singing. I haven't really

629
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:19.480
had anyone call my name. The only time I've ever

630
00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:22.360
had things call my name is when I've been doing

631
00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:29.559
a paranormal when I'm investigating haunted locations like churches or

632
00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:33.960
houses or That's the only time I've ever caught things

633
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:37.000
calling my name. But out in the forest, I haven't

634
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:40.000
had that yet. But I have interviewed quite a few

635
00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:44.679
people who have had their names called in the forest.

636
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:49.719
It's very weird stuff. Also, you just mentioned hearing singing,

637
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:51.760
which I think is a fascinating thing. I've heard that

638
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:56.440
reported in the Pacific Northwest in southeast Oklahoma. Can you

639
00:39:56.480 --> 00:39:59.639
share the area that you had heard the singing out

640
00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:00.239
in the world.

641
00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:05.519
So I was in Michigan in the very same area

642
00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:09.159
where the creature was looking at me through the forest,

643
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:12.880
bouncing back and forth, bobbing his head back and forth,

644
00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:16.400
within that same area. But I'll tell you one story

645
00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:19.639
here in the Pacific Northwest, out by where I lived,

646
00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:22.800
I interviewed the ladies who said that she grew up

647
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:26.519
back in I think it was like the nineteen fifties

648
00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:32.280
where there was no the road that she lived on

649
00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:35.519
wasn't paid and there was no It was on the

650
00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:39.239
First Nation's land, and she lived in a small little

651
00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:43.239
cabin on the edge of a mountain by Harrison. It

652
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:46.320
was close to Harrison Lake. But back then there was

653
00:40:46.360 --> 00:40:51.199
no houses, very little houses, very little population. But every

654
00:40:51.280 --> 00:40:54.639
evening she would hear what sounded like a crying baby

655
00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:59.280
coming out of the forest, and she would sit there

656
00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:02.000
on her port and she had three kids, three little

657
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:05.960
babies that she was looking after, and she would sit

658
00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:10.880
there on her on her porch in her chair listening

659
00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:14.079
to this crying baby, and the First Nation people would

660
00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:18.960
tell her that is where the sacklatch would give birth

661
00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:23.360
out there in the forest. I asked her to take

662
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:25.239
me to the area during the day, and she did.

663
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:27.480
She took me to the area where she actually physically

664
00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:32.679
saw one run across a road. I went and picked

665
00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:35.599
up one of my buddies and we took a giant

666
00:41:35.920 --> 00:41:41.599
bluetooth speaker and we went to the area where she

667
00:41:41.719 --> 00:41:44.880
said that these she would hear these crying babies. And

668
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:49.800
we hiked in for probably about forty five minutes, and

669
00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:52.159
then in the middle of the night we sat down

670
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:57.079
and I had downloaded a crying baby sound, and I

671
00:41:57.159 --> 00:42:00.440
put it in the bluetooth speaker and I laid it

672
00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:05.199
into the darkness of the forest, played it for probably

673
00:42:05.199 --> 00:42:12.039
two minutes, and I stopped it. And I'm telling you, Taram,

674
00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:15.440
as I'm sitting here talking to you right now, out

675
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:20.159
of the darkness came a blood curdling scream, as if

676
00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:25.119
the thing was trying to mimic a crying baby that

677
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:28.800
I'd just done. I was filming it, and I caught

678
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:33.480
that on film. The only disappointing thing is I was

679
00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:37.960
standing up, and because my camera was rested facing me,

680
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:41.960
I didn't realize that the camera didn't face maybe cut

681
00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:47.000
my head off and didn't actually capture my astoundsment when

682
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:50.400
I was like what the And I sat down, but

683
00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:54.440
Paul was sitting there and we're like what the And

684
00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:56.800
it just and it was close. It was so close

685
00:42:56.840 --> 00:43:00.519
to us, I would say, maybe two hundred arts in

686
00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:04.000
the forest. So I decided to go walking towards the

687
00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:06.519
area to see if I can get a closer look

688
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:11.559
or and I could hear running through the forest running

689
00:43:11.599 --> 00:43:15.119
away whatever it was. I was like, I could not

690
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:18.559
believe it. But that happened right after I played this

691
00:43:18.719 --> 00:43:21.400
crying baby, and I was so happy that I was

692
00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:21.920
filming it.

693
00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:26.280
I've heard that, I've heard people use that baby cry.

694
00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:29.320
I've never had the guts to do it myself, just

695
00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:32.840
because I'm afraid of what might come back towards me.

696
00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:36.000
And that you prove that stuff can respond out of

697
00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:39.000
the dark. You also mentioned an interesting thing which I

698
00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:43.840
also experienced multiple times, which you hear Researchers say that

699
00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:47.599
you're only going to hear stuff if your recorders are off.

700
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:51.840
I experienced that multiple times. Were you able to actually

701
00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:56.880
capture any audio or anything interesting up in Oregon? I

702
00:43:56.920 --> 00:44:00.960
wasn't able to because my recording stuff had issues or

703
00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:02.880
it was turned off when I heard stuff.

704
00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:09.519
Yeah, no, I wasn't able to capture any any audio.

705
00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:13.159
None of the We heard a couple howls off in

706
00:44:13.239 --> 00:44:19.559
the distance. I got that roar. But yeah, it's so

707
00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:22.639
weird how it's as if the thing's in the forest waiting.

708
00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:26.280
It's awful. Okay, let's do it, guys. Oh wait, want

709
00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:28.039
to turn on. I won't shut up, you.

710
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:31.320
Know, no, absolutely, And I used to think when people

711
00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:33.639
would say that, I would be like, okay, yeah, but

712
00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:37.840
I experienced it once. My stuff was turned off and

713
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:40.599
put in the car. There's something to it. I think

714
00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:45.559
it's just it is so incredibly weird. I do want

715
00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:49.719
to ask you one more question, Jason. It's a basic one,

716
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:52.239
but it's a fun one. You're into this five or

717
00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:57.119
six years. Do you have any thoughts as what as

718
00:44:57.159 --> 00:45:00.440
to what this is that we're dealing with. What these

719
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:01.920
sasquatch actually are.

720
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:05.920
It's interesting. I do think there's some kind of an

721
00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:10.280
They're an animal, some kind. I think they are highly intelligent.

722
00:45:12.199 --> 00:45:16.639
I can't tell you if they're alien or if they're

723
00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:23.239
from a different planet. This thing about cloaking, there's a

724
00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:28.800
big possibility that they have some incredible camouflage skills, only

725
00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:32.000
because when I think about that stuff, I always think

726
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:36.880
about the real animals in real life that do have

727
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:44.679
abilities of cloaking or at least camouflaging themselves, Like the octopus,

728
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:51.199
the octopers, and the culters. They have incredible abilities of

729
00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:54.519
camouflage to the point where they could almost cloak.

730
00:45:55.280 --> 00:45:58.119
Big So society will be right back after these messages.

731
00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:19.719
Why can't Bigfoot have some similar kind of abilities of

732
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:23.199
being able to counterflage themselves. The thing about them going

733
00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:28.199
through portals or at least being invisible. The only one

734
00:46:28.239 --> 00:46:31.599
thing that goes in my head is if you think

735
00:46:31.639 --> 00:46:35.719
about it, Allegedly, these animals don't want us to see them.

736
00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:38.360
That's why they run past us. If they run away

737
00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:42.880
when they think that they're being seen. If they could

738
00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:46.639
be invisible, or if they could just transport themselves to

739
00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:51.360
a portal, why would they ever come out of being invisible?

740
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:54.840
Why would they ever come out of a portal if

741
00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:57.480
they don't want to be seen. When they get seen,

742
00:46:57.519 --> 00:46:58.719
there's a chance they could.

743
00:46:58.519 --> 00:47:01.760
Be shot and killed, so to be dangerous.

744
00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:04.679
So they have the ability of being invisible, why would

745
00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:08.519
they ever come out of being invisible? Just people say

746
00:47:08.519 --> 00:47:10.920
maybe it hurts them when they're invisible. I'm like, I

747
00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:14.320
don't know what that. Why would some nature why would

748
00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:17.320
they make something like that where you're in pain when

749
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:22.039
you're invisible. I think they're flesh and blood and on

750
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:27.320
a matter of time before we finally get an amazing

751
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:31.559
shot of one, not to shoot one, just.

752
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:39.239
One exactly documentation. Yeah, that's a great, great clarification to make.

753
00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:42.320
My viewpoint is actually very similar, so it's good to

754
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:45.760
hear that as well. Even though every viewpoint is fine

755
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:48.719
on this podcast, I talk to all sorts of people,

756
00:47:48.760 --> 00:47:51.800
but I do also think it's probably some kind of

757
00:47:51.800 --> 00:47:55.280
physical animal that can do things that science just can't

758
00:47:55.320 --> 00:47:59.320
explain yet. Jason, it has been an absolute pleasure talking

759
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:02.199
to you this after afternoon. Do you mind taking a

760
00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:05.559
few minutes reminding people how they can keep up to

761
00:48:05.679 --> 00:48:10.119
date with what you're doing, watch your documentaries, and maybe

762
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:12.480
even what you've got coming up next with all that.

763
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:18.800
Yeah, if if anybody is interested in finding my stuff,

764
00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:22.800
you can find you can find my documentaries read to Watts,

765
00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:27.719
on to b TV, Ruku Plex, go on Plex, you

766
00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:30.000
can find it there. You can find it on Prime Video.

767
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:33.920
You can find on YouTube also there. You know, you

768
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:37.719
can find my comic book or my graphic novel. You

769
00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:41.159
can find that on Amazon. In fact, if you just

770
00:48:41.280 --> 00:48:48.079
google my name Jason Kenzie Animals or Jason Kenzie, Sasquats

771
00:48:48.159 --> 00:48:51.760
or Bigfoot, you will find all the news reports that

772
00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:55.280
I've been written about me, all my documentation. I do

773
00:48:55.360 --> 00:48:59.480
have a website called searching for Sasquots dot ca. Yeah,

774
00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:02.639
you can. You can find me on Instagram called Searching

775
00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:08.599
Sasquats TikTok, searching for Sasquatch on TikTok. But yeah, I

776
00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:10.719
just want to everyone to know if you want to

777
00:49:11.519 --> 00:49:17.119
lose yourself and my Bigfoot adventures, they're fun, they're adventures.

778
00:49:17.119 --> 00:49:20.400
They're good for the whole family. And seeing you will

779
00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:24.280
see jeremyah in one of them. It looks great on film,

780
00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:28.039
so get out there, and that's true.

781
00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:30.360
You will see me in one of them. Wote you.

782
00:49:32.360 --> 00:49:35.800
It was fun being involved with that. But Jason, it's

783
00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:38.480
been a privilege chatting with you, and hopefully our pads

784
00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:42.039
cross again someday in the future. And thank you for coming.

785
00:49:41.800 --> 00:49:48.840
On man, Thank you, Jim.

786
00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:47.760
Chad, whenever you're ready.

787
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:52.920
My interest in Bigfoot came in the nineties when I

788
00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:59.480
really got interested in bigfoot. My first knowledge at bigfoot,

789
00:49:59.559 --> 00:50:03.880
believe it or not, came from a TV show called

790
00:50:03.880 --> 00:50:09.119
The six Million Dollar Man and also in Search of

791
00:50:09.239 --> 00:50:12.679
with Leonard Nimoy. Okay, so now I'm giving away my

792
00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:19.519
age and the Patterson Gimlin footage. That short clip that

793
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:25.039
as a young child was my introduction into what bigfoot was.

794
00:50:25.320 --> 00:50:29.480
And I always was told that it's not real. It's

795
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:32.320
what you're seeing is all made up. What people are

796
00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:36.159
saying is all made up. And as a young child influential.

797
00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:40.880
It's easy to believe, but I always still remembered the

798
00:50:40.920 --> 00:50:43.880
things that I watched. And then in the nineties with

799
00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:50.280
the Internet and things becoming more available and me seeing

800
00:50:50.280 --> 00:50:53.960
something Bigfoot and I go look at it. I don't

801
00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:56.199
even remember what the first thing was on the Internet

802
00:50:56.199 --> 00:50:58.880
that I saw, and then I realized that it led

803
00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:04.199
to more things, more stories. I spent years just reading

804
00:51:04.559 --> 00:51:11.159
and watching any video I could, following researchers years. I'm

805
00:51:11.159 --> 00:51:15.440
not out looking for Bigfoot, listening to what everybody else

806
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:19.800
had to say, all opinions, because everybody has a different opinion,

807
00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:25.920
but listening to every opinion, and then it then all

808
00:51:25.920 --> 00:51:28.519
of a sudden, Finding Bigfoot comes out. I'm like, you

809
00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:32.320
gotta be kidding me. This is the greatest thing ever.

810
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:35.599
I loved the show. I mean, now, I'm not a

811
00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:38.480
fan of the show. I understand how network runs it

812
00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:44.719
now and all that, but it brought attention to the topic,

813
00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:49.599
and then it brought more people coming out. See, Finding

814
00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:52.039
Bigfoot did a great thing. They did a great thing

815
00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:56.199
with their database. Matt Moneymaker, he did a great thing

816
00:51:56.679 --> 00:52:00.320
at making sure that happened, and they did a great

817
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:04.119
thing bringing the attention to the topic, and then people

818
00:52:04.159 --> 00:52:07.800
that have held in their experiences for years and years

819
00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:14.159
coming out in the open and telling people. So this

820
00:52:14.320 --> 00:52:19.119
was huge. Now the Internet's even getting better, and now

821
00:52:19.159 --> 00:52:21.800
I'm finding researchers out there, and I find a guy

822
00:52:21.880 --> 00:52:27.480
named Mark Zaski who is my mentor, and I studied

823
00:52:27.599 --> 00:52:32.000
everything he did, everything I followed him and everything he

824
00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:35.000
put out. I followed him for years. I became good,

825
00:52:35.079 --> 00:52:39.000
really good friends with him. One day, he says to me,

826
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:44.119
because now I'm an armchair researcher for five plus years, says,

827
00:52:44.119 --> 00:52:46.639
you know what, check, You just need to get out

828
00:52:46.679 --> 00:52:49.760
and find out for yourself. And I'm like, I have

829
00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:52.800
no clue what I'm doing out there. Even though I'm

830
00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:55.920
an outdoorsman and the hunter, I'm not a bigfoot professional.

831
00:52:55.960 --> 00:52:59.400
I've just been watching all these videos, even though I

832
00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:02.199
didn't realize as I really had all the knowledge I

833
00:53:02.239 --> 00:53:07.840
needed to make my own decision as far as cognitive

834
00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:11.840
decision as far as what was happening. And I'll admit

835
00:53:11.920 --> 00:53:14.559
it's easy to think if you're looking for bigfoot and

836
00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:16.960
something happens, it's easy to think bigfoot. But that's the

837
00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:18.599
last thing you want to do because most of the

838
00:53:18.639 --> 00:53:21.559
time it's not. But Mark convinced me to get out

839
00:53:21.559 --> 00:53:23.360
in the woods. And the minute I got out and

840
00:53:23.400 --> 00:53:31.000
I started researching, I was amazed. I took all the

841
00:53:31.039 --> 00:53:36.000
knowledge of tree structures. I started finding tree structures, and

842
00:53:36.119 --> 00:53:38.119
a lot of stuff falls in the woods. But I'm

843
00:53:38.159 --> 00:53:41.840
finding stuff so intricate that it has to be built.

844
00:53:42.800 --> 00:53:46.480
It would require hands to put the stuff together. And

845
00:53:46.519 --> 00:53:50.079
then so now I'm finding these areas, and then now

846
00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:53.679
I'm like hanging out. I'm not just chomping through the woods.

847
00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:58.800
I'm going and sitting and listening and camping in areas

848
00:53:58.800 --> 00:54:02.159
where I find this kind of stuff. And I was

849
00:54:02.199 --> 00:54:07.440
amazed that the activity that would happen at night when

850
00:54:07.480 --> 00:54:09.880
you're in your tent, or when you're sitting around the

851
00:54:09.920 --> 00:54:12.239
campfire and you can't see anything because all you have

852
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:16.840
is a campfire light, and everything outside the campfires just

853
00:54:16.920 --> 00:54:20.960
yet black, and the noises here, and the things you'd

854
00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:24.719
find the next morning, I'd find a camp spot and

855
00:54:24.840 --> 00:54:27.880
I'd search the whole area. I look for signatures and

856
00:54:27.960 --> 00:54:31.039
sign structures, glyphs and all that. And I know I

857
00:54:31.079 --> 00:54:33.719
searched the area, and wake up the next morning and

858
00:54:33.760 --> 00:54:36.079
get up and all of a sudden, there's this glyph

859
00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:40.360
in a tree that I know, for effact wasn't there.

860
00:54:40.880 --> 00:54:44.039
Now this is telling me there's something going on, there's

861
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:49.760
something real. Then I find this area that I didn't

862
00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:51.840
believe they were in, but they were, and I knew

863
00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:54.840
from what I had learned, and I started habituating them.

864
00:54:55.280 --> 00:54:59.519
I spent a couple of years every day or every

865
00:54:59.559 --> 00:55:05.199
other day, leaving them apples, habituating them. Then I had

866
00:55:05.239 --> 00:55:10.360
my first daylight sighting out there. Like I go out

867
00:55:10.400 --> 00:55:14.000
after work, it's about dusk. I hang these apples. I

868
00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:16.639
can hear stuff moving towards them. It's like it got

869
00:55:16.639 --> 00:55:19.039
to the point they were so comfortable and I just

870
00:55:19.079 --> 00:55:22.360
go do it and leave. And I'm walking out and

871
00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:24.119
all of a sudden, I just had this feeling I'm

872
00:55:24.119 --> 00:55:29.239
being watched. And I turned and in an arch of

873
00:55:29.239 --> 00:55:31.480
a tree. It wasn't a really big tree, but it's

874
00:55:31.519 --> 00:55:34.599
a wide off tree and there was a y in

875
00:55:34.679 --> 00:55:37.000
the arch of it. I look and there is the

876
00:55:37.079 --> 00:55:39.679
shape of a head, and it's a dark head, and

877
00:55:39.719 --> 00:55:44.280
then there's outline of like shoulders outside of this tree

878
00:55:44.519 --> 00:55:46.920
staring at me. And I'm looking at it. I don't

879
00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:50.480
think it. No way, no way, am I seeing this,

880
00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:55.679
and the minute I think that it steps out to

881
00:55:55.760 --> 00:55:58.239
the side and it's standing there right in front of me,

882
00:55:59.320 --> 00:56:02.719
just looking at me. And it's not a huge one.

883
00:56:03.159 --> 00:56:06.679
Maybe I believe it was a juvenile, and it just

884
00:56:06.719 --> 00:56:09.639
stands there and it just looks at me. And then

885
00:56:09.679 --> 00:56:12.400
I just get this feeling, and I get this like

886
00:56:12.519 --> 00:56:16.000
pulsating going through my body, tingling, and I get this

887
00:56:16.199 --> 00:56:20.280
like this dread going through me. And you know, I

888
00:56:20.320 --> 00:56:23.199
stared at the thing for five six seconds, the longest

889
00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:26.079
I've ever stared at once in the daylight. But I

890
00:56:26.239 --> 00:56:30.400
just this feeling that came over me and through my body.

891
00:56:30.440 --> 00:56:33.599
I was like, it made me retreat, and I retreated.

892
00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:36.480
I mean, I've had a lot of stories and I

893
00:56:36.519 --> 00:56:40.760
can't get into all of them, but really I got

894
00:56:40.800 --> 00:56:46.880
my start because of the Internet, because I always had

895
00:56:46.880 --> 00:56:52.840
the interest and I was able to look up all

896
00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:57.199
these reports and stories and people's beliefs and to be

897
00:56:57.280 --> 00:57:00.840
able to study the greats out there. Great people out

898
00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:05.320
there there are I'm not going to name names, but

899
00:57:05.480 --> 00:57:09.519
anybody that's into bigfoot research knows there's people that are

900
00:57:09.719 --> 00:57:12.559
long gone that put in so much time and effort

901
00:57:12.639 --> 00:57:16.239
into this that I get to study what their findings are.

902
00:57:16.440 --> 00:57:20.000
And there's people current out there today that are really

903
00:57:20.199 --> 00:57:25.360
that really actually put in the work, not network type people,

904
00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:30.679
even though I have nothing against them the network personalities.

905
00:57:30.719 --> 00:57:34.039
They're doing their job, they're bringing attention, so what they

906
00:57:34.079 --> 00:57:37.719
do is important. But those aren't the personalities that I

907
00:57:37.880 --> 00:57:45.920
follow when I want advice about Bigfoot, and I don't know,

908
00:57:46.079 --> 00:57:47.440
I don't know where else to go from there.

909
00:57:47.519 --> 00:57:52.400
Jeremiah, that's such an incredible story, you know, and you're

910
00:57:52.440 --> 00:57:56.599
the first person that's brought up six million dollar man,

911
00:57:56.719 --> 00:58:00.039
which kudos to you because comments is going to love that.

912
00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:02.679
They're always there. I was talking about that, but just

913
00:58:02.760 --> 00:58:06.639
the fact that you put in the work about five

914
00:58:06.760 --> 00:58:11.280
years doing the research before you actually were like, all right,

915
00:58:11.360 --> 00:58:13.440
I will go out and see what happens. And I

916
00:58:13.480 --> 00:58:19.920
don't think enough people get do enough time getting the

917
00:58:19.960 --> 00:58:23.719
foundation down, So kudos to you. How did you get

918
00:58:23.760 --> 00:58:28.320
involved with this with the Jason McKenzie, This Jason Kenzie guy,

919
00:58:28.400 --> 00:58:31.840
this crazy dude who I love. I say that because

920
00:58:31.880 --> 00:58:33.800
I got to hang out with him, and dude, the

921
00:58:33.920 --> 00:58:37.320
dude is amazing. You guys are the most fun team ever.

922
00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:41.400
Well, he's definitely crazy. I think that's the only reason

923
00:58:41.440 --> 00:58:43.679
that I can hang out with him, because I finally

924
00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:48.599
found somebody crazier than me. But it's not even really

925
00:58:49.119 --> 00:58:53.159
that difficult of a story. I helped start the Michigan

926
00:58:53.239 --> 00:58:55.440
big Foot Conference in ann Arbert. It was the first

927
00:58:55.440 --> 00:58:57.880
one ever. I was a big part of it. I

928
00:58:57.960 --> 00:59:00.880
was a big part of getting the speaker, setting it up,

929
00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:03.760
organizing everything. There was a lot of other people involved.

930
00:59:03.880 --> 00:59:08.920
Shout out Dave Dominique, shout out Ernest Spargo, shout out

931
00:59:08.960 --> 00:59:13.400
Sherry Barsia, shout out John Taylor. I can't even name

932
00:59:13.639 --> 00:59:17.280
Josh persons. There's so many people that were involved to

933
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:23.119
help make this successful event happen. And Ernie said, have

934
00:59:23.239 --> 00:59:26.280
you ever seen this guy? I think he had one

935
00:59:26.360 --> 00:59:29.239
or two documentaries. He's so funny. I watched his first one.

936
00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:33.679
I said, this guy ain't funny, this guy an idiot,

937
00:59:34.079 --> 00:59:35.719
and he says, watch the next one. I watched the

938
00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:39.400
next one. I says, he's getting a little better, and

939
00:59:39.559 --> 00:59:41.320
then he says, I think we should invite him to

940
00:59:41.360 --> 00:59:45.079
the conference. We had a minimum budget, and at the time,

941
00:59:45.159 --> 00:59:48.519
Jason was young, new, up and coming. I talked to

942
00:59:48.599 --> 00:59:52.920
him and he accepted it. But the deal was is

943
00:59:52.920 --> 00:59:56.199
he wanted to hang out after. He wanted to go

944
00:59:56.280 --> 00:59:59.840
do a documentary after. So that was the main deal.

945
01:00:00.119 --> 01:00:04.320
Get him there, pay his way there room, and I

946
01:00:04.440 --> 01:00:07.639
do a documentary. And so we get him there, and

947
01:00:07.679 --> 01:00:12.119
I'm like, okay, all right, his personality on film is him,

948
01:00:12.599 --> 01:00:16.039
but it's not. You don't get to cease spending twenty

949
01:00:16.039 --> 01:00:19.440
four hours straight with him. And he's such a pleasure

950
01:00:19.480 --> 01:00:24.039
to be around most of the time. Don't get me wrong, there, Jeremiah.

951
01:00:24.360 --> 01:00:26.639
Most of the time, he's such a pleasure to be around.

952
01:00:27.320 --> 01:00:29.679
I contacted him again. I said, you know what, Jason,

953
01:00:30.280 --> 01:00:31.920
I'll fund this. I'll fly you in. Let's do a

954
01:00:31.960 --> 01:00:37.599
documentary in Michigan again. And ever since that it took up.

955
01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:41.519
Now that was a bad thing though, because I flew

956
01:00:41.599 --> 01:00:44.039
him in for three weeks. I'm gonna tell a story.

957
01:00:45.119 --> 01:00:48.639
It's not really Bigfoot related, but it's Bigfoot all right.

958
01:00:48.880 --> 01:00:53.360
Event really, I'm flying him in for three weeks. The

959
01:00:53.519 --> 01:00:56.360
night before I'm supposed to pick him up from the airport,

960
01:00:56.440 --> 01:00:58.280
early in the morning, I'm on my lawn and it

961
01:00:58.320 --> 01:01:01.840
starts downpouring. Run in the house quits raining, I run

962
01:01:01.880 --> 01:01:03.800
out to get the rest of the lawn. Done. I

963
01:01:03.840 --> 01:01:07.039
hit the bottom step and my feet slip out. Wood

964
01:01:07.079 --> 01:01:11.000
deck steps slip out, I fall, I break five ribs.

965
01:01:11.079 --> 01:01:16.280
I almost die. I spend two weeks in the hospital literally,

966
01:01:16.920 --> 01:01:19.480
I get surgery, get plates put in my ribs finally,

967
01:01:19.880 --> 01:01:22.000
and then I'm out within a couple days. After that,

968
01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:24.440
I have one day to spend with Jason.

969
01:01:25.119 --> 01:01:27.079
Big for a society who will be right back. After

970
01:01:27.119 --> 01:01:27.880
these messages.

971
01:01:44.039 --> 01:01:47.119
I am out there every day with him, hiking through

972
01:01:47.159 --> 01:01:54.119
the woods, hiking. I'm falling down a cliff just out

973
01:01:54.119 --> 01:01:58.599
of the hospital. So that is our first actual really

974
01:01:58.719 --> 01:02:01.440
me and him, aside from the conference thing. After that,

975
01:02:01.480 --> 01:02:07.960
it just took off. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Pennsylvania, No, Ohio,

976
01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:14.599
Michigan three times, Ohio, Florida. It wasn't in Indiana, but

977
01:02:14.760 --> 01:02:20.800
I made Indiana happen. Then Kentucky, then Pennsylvania, Oregon. And

978
01:02:20.840 --> 01:02:23.320
this is all within the last less than a year

979
01:02:23.360 --> 01:02:27.960
and a half, like these six that I mentioning. So yeah,

980
01:02:28.320 --> 01:02:30.760
I'm just going to keep doing it. We're all a team,

981
01:02:31.199 --> 01:02:34.039
we all chip in, we all do our share, we

982
01:02:34.119 --> 01:02:38.320
all take this really seriously. Jeremiah, you see it. You

983
01:02:38.360 --> 01:02:41.079
see it. You've been out with us, so we have

984
01:02:41.199 --> 01:02:42.079
fun too.

985
01:02:42.360 --> 01:02:46.360
I want to comment. So I've seen not all the documentaries,

986
01:02:46.360 --> 01:02:48.960
but I've seen some of them, and my first thing

987
01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:51.039
was like, Wow, this guy is goofy, but he's having fun.

988
01:02:51.400 --> 01:02:53.480
But then after I got to spend time with him,

989
01:02:53.480 --> 01:02:56.599
I was like, Wow, these guys are having fun, but

990
01:02:56.760 --> 01:03:02.320
they are taking it way more serious than I'll say.

991
01:03:02.320 --> 01:03:04.679
They're at the top of taking this like they are

992
01:03:04.840 --> 01:03:09.800
seriously trying to get evidence and document and they're just

993
01:03:09.840 --> 01:03:11.480
having a really good time when they do it. And

994
01:03:11.559 --> 01:03:15.360
it's just it's such a unique combination. I haven't really

995
01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:18.599
seen it anywhere else, to be honest, so it's great.

996
01:03:19.159 --> 01:03:22.239
I'm not in it if there's not seriousness, and that's

997
01:03:22.280 --> 01:03:27.039
just me and Sherry too. And as you speak of Jason,

998
01:03:27.639 --> 01:03:32.320
that's just his character. Man, he's just a clown. But

999
01:03:32.519 --> 01:03:35.679
sometimes when we're out in the woods, it's a totally

1000
01:03:35.679 --> 01:03:40.559
different Jason. We really research, we really solo camp, we

1001
01:03:40.719 --> 01:03:44.239
really go alone out in the woods. Everything is non film.

1002
01:03:44.280 --> 01:03:47.440
It can all go on film. Most of the times

1003
01:03:47.480 --> 01:03:51.159
you're out there all night long, nothing happens, nothing working,

1004
01:03:51.920 --> 01:03:59.079
But it's times that something happens, which they happen. You

1005
01:03:59.159 --> 01:04:03.239
spend enough time and you do the research right, you

1006
01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:04.920
will have something happen.

1007
01:04:05.920 --> 01:04:09.159
Has there been a time when you're out there filming

1008
01:04:09.199 --> 01:04:13.360
a documentary where it's just gotten really weird or things

1009
01:04:13.400 --> 01:04:16.679
have really escalated and you're like, wow, I'm not sure

1010
01:04:16.719 --> 01:04:19.840
if this was a good life decision to be in

1011
01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:24.480
this right here where stuff is just out of my control.

1012
01:04:27.480 --> 01:04:29.679
It hasn't yet, not during a documentary.

1013
01:04:29.760 --> 01:04:31.800
Wow, okay, cool, cool.

1014
01:04:34.840 --> 01:04:37.639
Just watch the Michigan one where we had Robin Haines

1015
01:04:37.719 --> 01:04:40.639
McCrae there and she's telling us the big right here,

1016
01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:44.880
their minds speaking to me. His name's what do he say, Harambi?

1017
01:04:45.239 --> 01:04:49.000
They have a family, they're worried about you. You're scaring them.

1018
01:04:49.039 --> 01:04:53.199
They're right there, and then all of a sudden, eyes everywhere,

1019
01:04:53.559 --> 01:04:54.960
crashing through the woods.

1020
01:04:55.039 --> 01:04:55.519
It's all.

1021
01:04:55.800 --> 01:04:59.199
It's in a documentary. What one is that? Six or seven?

1022
01:04:59.239 --> 01:05:03.400
I think Peru, I don't know. It's a Michigan one.

1023
01:05:03.880 --> 01:05:09.480
It's all everything that happened, is there, Jason, Tony, Chad.

1024
01:05:09.519 --> 01:05:12.480
There's something in front of me, Chad, and you see

1025
01:05:12.519 --> 01:05:14.679
his eyes up and you watch it drop to the ground.

1026
01:05:14.800 --> 01:05:15.800
Chad, just drop to that.

1027
01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:18.880
I'm standing right there looking at it. I'm not saying nothing.

1028
01:05:19.000 --> 01:05:22.920
I'm just locked down the eyes. All that really happened.

1029
01:05:22.920 --> 01:05:27.480
And then the crashing through the woods. Yeah, and then

1030
01:05:27.519 --> 01:05:30.840
we also have other fun things. We go chomping through

1031
01:05:30.880 --> 01:05:33.679
a freaking roost of turkeys up in the trees. It's

1032
01:05:33.679 --> 01:05:38.440
scarce we get on film. And but yeah, the first

1033
01:05:38.440 --> 01:05:41.519
thing you think, you're we're about being attacked. Have you

1034
01:05:41.559 --> 01:05:44.880
ever walked under twenty five turkeys up in trees and

1035
01:05:44.880 --> 01:05:47.880
all of a sudden they all take Okay, no, we

1036
01:05:48.079 --> 01:05:50.880
and we've got this on video. It scared this dude,

1037
01:05:51.280 --> 01:05:54.840
I am not kidding You'll. I think it's coming out

1038
01:05:54.880 --> 01:05:57.599
in one of the documentaries. You will hear it in

1039
01:05:57.639 --> 01:06:00.840
our voices. I've never had that happen, I mean before either.

1040
01:06:01.239 --> 01:06:04.159
But yeah, we're out there looking for Bigfoot. All of

1041
01:06:04.159 --> 01:06:07.280
a sudden there's just a forest just rops. Yeah.

1042
01:06:07.519 --> 01:06:11.880
Oh man, I'm looking forward to that definitely. What do

1043
01:06:11.920 --> 01:06:16.119
you hope is accomplished through all these documentaries that the

1044
01:06:16.320 --> 01:06:20.039
team is putting out.

1045
01:06:21.039 --> 01:06:24.599
My main goal is the one day get paid, But

1046
01:06:24.840 --> 01:06:28.920
that's not what I'm looking at. My main goal actually

1047
01:06:29.920 --> 01:06:34.559
is to get the word out there, to get other

1048
01:06:34.599 --> 01:06:40.239
people interested, to get other people researching truthfully, my goal

1049
01:06:40.519 --> 01:06:44.880
is to be a part of getting validation of the

1050
01:06:45.000 --> 01:06:50.280
species that I know exists. That is my true goal. Okay,

1051
01:06:50.760 --> 01:06:53.320
am I ever going to make money at this now?

1052
01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:57.360
But maybe I'll break even one day. But that's not

1053
01:06:57.480 --> 01:07:00.199
what this is about. I've been doing this so long

1054
01:07:01.000 --> 01:07:04.519
that it's not what it's about. What it's about is

1055
01:07:05.320 --> 01:07:11.880
the next generation getting the young interested because we're dying breed, Jeremiah,

1056
01:07:11.920 --> 01:07:16.159
we are a dying breed. We are falling out. All

1057
01:07:16.199 --> 01:07:20.599
the ogs are dying. They're either dead or they're dying off.

1058
01:07:21.199 --> 01:07:24.840
And now it's us and it's our responsibility of the

1059
01:07:24.840 --> 01:07:31.280
people between thirty and fifty five to get the generation

1060
01:07:31.480 --> 01:07:36.360
below us interested in looking into it and seeing for

1061
01:07:36.480 --> 01:07:40.840
themselves is real so that they stay dedicated and continue.

1062
01:07:41.360 --> 01:07:43.800
It's going to be hard to prove it's real. We

1063
01:07:43.880 --> 01:07:46.840
know it's real. We have a battle ahead of us

1064
01:07:46.840 --> 01:07:51.280
for that media and I don't even want to get

1065
01:07:51.280 --> 01:07:54.800
into the details. Most people that are in the Bigfoot

1066
01:07:54.880 --> 01:08:02.239
understand who's stopping us from this being the truth and

1067
01:08:02.320 --> 01:08:06.679
being out there and being validated. It's not the trolls.

1068
01:08:06.760 --> 01:08:10.440
It's not the trolls on Facebook, though our helping this

1069
01:08:10.559 --> 01:08:16.319
be validated. It's higher sources above us, So I'll leave

1070
01:08:16.359 --> 01:08:16.800
out at that.

1071
01:08:17.520 --> 01:08:19.600
Oh yeah, and I'll just throw a little bit in

1072
01:08:19.640 --> 01:08:22.000
there too. I agree with you chat one hundred percent.

1073
01:08:22.199 --> 01:08:25.039
There are times when I've been doing certain interviews and

1074
01:08:25.239 --> 01:08:30.399
certain things are mentioned, things just go it just totally

1075
01:08:30.399 --> 01:08:31.279
shut shuts down.

1076
01:08:31.840 --> 01:08:32.039
You know.

1077
01:08:32.159 --> 01:08:36.800
It's just like, dude, I don't know you've heard things

1078
01:08:36.840 --> 01:08:37.239
I've heard.

1079
01:08:37.479 --> 01:08:44.840
I have a personal experience with Department of Interior. Am

1080
01:08:44.880 --> 01:08:45.760
I allowed to say that?

1081
01:08:45.880 --> 01:08:49.359
Yes, so you're saying you have an interesting story with

1082
01:08:49.479 --> 01:08:55.399
the Department of the Interior? Absolutely, Okay, go right ahead.

1083
01:08:55.399 --> 01:08:56.079
My friend.

1084
01:08:58.479 --> 01:09:00.960
I was in Florida. I had moved down there a

1085
01:09:01.000 --> 01:09:04.039
couple of years. For a couple of years, started business.

1086
01:09:04.960 --> 01:09:07.680
The business didn't work out, so I took a job

1087
01:09:07.760 --> 01:09:13.560
with my brother. We installed gates and security systems and

1088
01:09:13.600 --> 01:09:19.479
things like that. And one of our clients that we

1089
01:09:19.520 --> 01:09:23.000
did the gate for was a panther preserve in the Everglades,

1090
01:09:24.359 --> 01:09:28.920
fifteen miles from David Sheeley's Skunkcape headquarters. We happened to

1091
01:09:28.920 --> 01:09:33.600
be down there doing a job over by date, we

1092
01:09:33.640 --> 01:09:35.319
had to do two of them right in that area,

1093
01:09:36.199 --> 01:09:39.680
and my brother, my first time at the Skunk Cape

1094
01:09:39.680 --> 01:09:44.439
Research Headquarters. So my brother would drive right by it,

1095
01:09:45.439 --> 01:09:47.199
have to, so he stops there for me.

1096
01:09:48.199 --> 01:09:49.119
I buy hat.

1097
01:09:49.239 --> 01:09:51.600
I walked through it. I buy hat. Then we go

1098
01:09:51.640 --> 01:09:56.760
to the Panther Preserve. We get there. I knew this

1099
01:09:56.800 --> 01:10:04.840
old guy Department of Interior, federal government, and I'm a

1100
01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:11.520
bigfoot researcher. And my brother introduces me to him and

1101
01:10:11.680 --> 01:10:17.359
we're just chit chat and I rang up, Hey, anybody

1102
01:10:17.399 --> 01:10:21.279
ever came to you and reported a bigfoot? And he laughed,

1103
01:10:21.359 --> 01:10:24.159
he said no, And then I give him this look

1104
01:10:24.199 --> 01:10:28.079
as I'm wearing the skunk Ape Research Headquarters hat. I

1105
01:10:28.159 --> 01:10:30.880
give him this look and then he looks at me, Oh,

1106
01:10:31.000 --> 01:10:35.359
unless you're talking about the Sieli brothers. And I'm like okay,

1107
01:10:36.520 --> 01:10:39.520
And so then I let it go at that, and

1108
01:10:39.520 --> 01:10:42.319
then I said, you have to have trail cameras all

1109
01:10:42.319 --> 01:10:45.000
over out here, don't And he said, oh yeah. I'm like,

1110
01:10:45.119 --> 01:10:48.399
what's the weirdest thing you've ever got? So I'm like fishing,

1111
01:10:48.479 --> 01:10:52.600
Why am working? We're repairing his gates, says tell you

1112
01:10:52.640 --> 01:10:57.119
the truth, Chad an Arctic fox. I'm like what he said? Yeah,

1113
01:10:57.760 --> 01:11:00.159
I don't know how I got here, but we we've

1114
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:02.880
got an Arctic fox that we've got on trail camera,

1115
01:11:03.279 --> 01:11:05.880
which why would it be in the Florida Everglade. We're

1116
01:11:05.920 --> 01:11:08.600
working and stuff and just chit chatting and I'm not

1117
01:11:08.680 --> 01:11:13.479
pushing the big foot thing. And my brother sends me

1118
01:11:13.960 --> 01:11:17.079
to the van. I forget what he sent me to

1119
01:11:17.159 --> 01:11:20.520
go get and gets something a tool or something we needed.

1120
01:11:21.279 --> 01:11:23.239
And my brother, this is one My brother told me,

1121
01:11:23.359 --> 01:11:25.199
he said, when I sent you there. I looked at

1122
01:11:25.239 --> 01:11:28.439
and I said, my brother's really into this and really

1123
01:11:28.479 --> 01:11:31.560
believes in this. We all just laugh at him, he said,

1124
01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:35.800
folded his arms and stared at him and didn't say

1125
01:11:35.800 --> 01:11:37.760
a word. He said, it was the weirdest thing. Chat,

1126
01:11:38.760 --> 01:11:40.800
but I get this all after what I'm about to

1127
01:11:40.800 --> 01:11:43.359
tell you have it. So he finished the job up

1128
01:11:43.399 --> 01:11:46.479
and everything federal government. He can't tell me nothing, he

1129
01:11:46.520 --> 01:11:50.720
can't say nothing. I'm getting the van. He says, hey, chat.

1130
01:11:51.079 --> 01:11:53.640
I turned around and said, hey yeah. He looks at

1131
01:11:53.680 --> 01:11:57.039
me with his arms folded, and he shakes his head yes,

1132
01:11:57.399 --> 01:12:04.960
like majorly shakes his head yes, turns around and walks away. WHOA.

1133
01:12:06.359 --> 01:12:09.439
He's not allowed to tell me he can do that.

1134
01:12:10.000 --> 01:12:12.239
My brother made fun of me. He looked at it.

1135
01:12:12.760 --> 01:12:18.720
He knows. I know a lot of people know. Most

1136
01:12:18.800 --> 01:12:22.479
people just believe what they're told by media. Let's be honest.

1137
01:12:22.520 --> 01:12:24.479
Why would the government want us to know they're real?

1138
01:12:24.600 --> 01:12:29.000
Why would they How does that benefit the government? It doesn't.

1139
01:12:29.279 --> 01:12:35.000
It hurts it financially. It hurts. It hurts so much,

1140
01:12:37.640 --> 01:12:43.359
just with the parks and recreation. Oh, missing four one one, okay, yeah,

1141
01:12:43.439 --> 01:12:45.720
all these people that were missing here. Yeah, we think

1142
01:12:45.760 --> 01:12:48.800
most of it's Bigfoot related. Oh yeah, bring your kids,

1143
01:12:48.920 --> 01:12:53.119
your children here? A billion dollar industry, what's it? Due

1144
01:12:53.119 --> 01:12:55.880
to the Catholic Church. They already took the Book of

1145
01:12:56.079 --> 01:12:59.039
Enoch out of the Bible, which has I believe a

1146
01:12:59.079 --> 01:13:01.399
lot of what big it is in it. I can't

1147
01:13:01.680 --> 01:13:06.000
say it does because it no longer exists, but I believe.

1148
01:13:06.560 --> 01:13:11.199
It is absolutely wild stuff. I just recently have been

1149
01:13:11.279 --> 01:13:17.199
having they say they're National Park rangers reach out to

1150
01:13:17.239 --> 01:13:22.720
me from different areas, and the interviews never get set up.

1151
01:13:23.039 --> 01:13:26.159
For some reason, they never follow through. And I don't

1152
01:13:26.199 --> 01:13:29.880
know if there's some I don't know, but it is

1153
01:13:29.920 --> 01:13:33.479
getting to the point where I think people are trying

1154
01:13:33.520 --> 01:13:39.159
to reach out from behind that curtain of government protection

1155
01:13:39.359 --> 01:13:42.479
because I think there are definitely park rangers that know

1156
01:13:42.640 --> 01:13:46.920
something and they're at the point where these forestry workers,

1157
01:13:46.960 --> 01:13:50.159
these park rangers are like, we have to get the

1158
01:13:50.199 --> 01:13:53.520
word out and I don't know, it'll be interesting to

1159
01:13:53.520 --> 01:13:56.319
see what happens in the next ten fifteen years.

1160
01:13:56.920 --> 01:13:59.359
Yeah, and when they come out on their deathbed, because

1161
01:13:59.359 --> 01:14:03.199
there's so many that they say, oh they're old and senile.

1162
01:14:06.680 --> 01:14:07.199
It's wild.

1163
01:14:07.800 --> 01:14:08.159
It is.

1164
01:14:08.319 --> 01:14:12.840
It's absolutely wild. And what you guys are doing with

1165
01:14:14.039 --> 01:14:16.720
searching for Sasquatch is just it is the coolest thing.

1166
01:14:16.880 --> 01:14:21.439
It's it's a documentary series that that sneaks. It's sneaky

1167
01:14:21.479 --> 01:14:23.600
because it looks like it's just goofy, but then it's

1168
01:14:23.720 --> 01:14:27.479
incredibly serious and I totally recommend everyone check it out.

1169
01:14:27.640 --> 01:14:31.079
It's on to b YouTube. I think it's on Amazon

1170
01:14:31.079 --> 01:14:33.640
Prime too, right.

1171
01:14:34.279 --> 01:14:36.840
Yep, yep, it is. And we all love each other.

1172
01:14:36.880 --> 01:14:41.600
That's a weird thing because the whole team we love

1173
01:14:41.640 --> 01:14:45.880
each other, like we share tens together. We pick kicks

1174
01:14:45.880 --> 01:14:46.840
off of each other.

1175
01:14:47.720 --> 01:14:49.000
If my back is.

1176
01:14:50.600 --> 01:14:54.479
Anybody but Sherry will scratch it.

1177
01:14:54.479 --> 01:14:58.479
It's weird. Spending hours with you guys in the woods, Like,

1178
01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:00.399
I totally get it. A lot of listening will be

1179
01:15:00.439 --> 01:15:03.680
like this sounds kind of weird. It's like, guys, just

1180
01:15:03.680 --> 01:15:07.119
just you'll get it. It is very unique. It's totally unique,

1181
01:15:07.159 --> 01:15:08.359
but it is an.

1182
01:15:08.239 --> 01:15:13.800
Absolutely we spend a week in a tent together and

1183
01:15:14.439 --> 01:15:19.800
driving to a shower or and they haven't even experienced

1184
01:15:19.840 --> 01:15:22.920
it yet. In my early days, I've bathed in a creek.

1185
01:15:24.479 --> 01:15:27.840
The Sherry hasn't experienced that yet. But that's coming up. Oh,

1186
01:15:27.880 --> 01:15:30.720
bathing in the creek. Oh she has. Oh that's right,

1187
01:15:30.800 --> 01:15:36.880
you did bathe in the creek. Yeah. Literally, people they

1188
01:15:37.760 --> 01:15:41.399
they see okay, ohio, We'll just say, they see this

1189
01:15:41.560 --> 01:15:44.359
documentary and it's an hour and a half long. They

1190
01:15:44.359 --> 01:15:48.119
don't realize we spent seven days in the woods together

1191
01:15:49.000 --> 01:15:51.039
and they just see the hour and a half.

1192
01:15:51.439 --> 01:15:56.000
Absolutely, oh man, it's yeah, there's more. The behind the

1193
01:15:56.000 --> 01:15:59.000
scenes would be too much to handle, but it is

1194
01:15:59.119 --> 01:16:01.479
amazing and I loved every minute that I got to

1195
01:16:01.479 --> 01:16:04.720
spend with you guys. Chad, thank you for spending some

1196
01:16:04.880 --> 01:16:08.680
time hanging out talking to me tonight. Do you mind

1197
01:16:08.840 --> 01:16:11.439
reminding listeners how they can keep up to date with

1198
01:16:11.479 --> 01:16:15.000
what you guys are doing with the searching First, as question,

1199
01:16:15.079 --> 01:16:16.159
all that good stuff.

1200
01:16:16.359 --> 01:16:21.520
We actually have a whole lot planned ahead. We're not

1201
01:16:21.680 --> 01:16:26.920
behind in documentaries because we've got one editor and one

1202
01:16:26.960 --> 01:16:30.119
main guy, Jason, and it takes time to get through

1203
01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:36.520
these documentaries. I think we're like actually three that still

1204
01:16:36.720 --> 01:16:42.359
haven't even began editing, and we're about to do We're

1205
01:16:42.359 --> 01:16:45.199
about to do four here in a month and a

1206
01:16:45.279 --> 01:16:48.560
half that we're going to film in a month, and

1207
01:16:48.640 --> 01:16:51.039
so there's gonna be a lot of documentaries coming out.

1208
01:16:51.319 --> 01:16:53.319
It really does take a lot of time. Yeah, I've

1209
01:16:53.319 --> 01:16:56.560
been thinking about maybe we go live more, just to

1210
01:16:56.600 --> 01:16:59.319
do little fun, one hour shows while we're out in

1211
01:16:59.359 --> 01:17:01.840
the woods. If we're somewhere we're going to have signal.

1212
01:17:02.439 --> 01:17:05.439
If I picked my phone up right now, Jeremiah and

1213
01:17:05.479 --> 01:17:07.479
I walk fifteen feet away, it's going to hang up.

1214
01:17:08.520 --> 01:17:12.319
I'm sitting in at a perfect spot. I can't touch

1215
01:17:12.399 --> 01:17:15.760
my phone. But I'd like to do some live stuff

1216
01:17:15.760 --> 01:17:20.520
here in the next year so that we have more

1217
01:17:20.680 --> 01:17:29.359
content out there available, because we're typically four months than

1218
01:17:29.439 --> 01:17:34.199
the next documentary is out, and then once that's out,

1219
01:17:34.279 --> 01:17:36.600
then Jason has to edit for four months, and then

1220
01:17:36.640 --> 01:17:38.520
we have to do all the research that we do,

1221
01:17:39.079 --> 01:17:42.680
and that takes four months between the research we do

1222
01:17:42.800 --> 01:17:46.279
and the other documentaries we film to get that next

1223
01:17:46.319 --> 01:17:49.920
one done, but then the one that we just filmed,

1224
01:17:50.840 --> 01:17:53.399
that's a year up the road before it comes out.

1225
01:17:53.880 --> 01:17:57.760
I don't the Oregon one. I don't know, man, it's

1226
01:17:57.920 --> 01:18:01.680
probably it's going to be months before that one comes out,

1227
01:18:01.880 --> 01:18:06.840
but it's going to be well that we could contact

1228
01:18:06.920 --> 01:18:10.479
for you an interview with where you talking? Why would

1229
01:18:10.520 --> 01:18:18.239
you know? What? Do you realize she's gonna have to edit? Finished?

1230
01:18:18.800 --> 01:18:20.960
Share is the best? It's so good?

1231
01:18:22.159 --> 01:18:26.680
But yeah, yeah, okay, okay, you want to redo anything

1232
01:18:26.800 --> 01:18:28.680
or straight that?

1233
01:18:28.680 --> 01:18:32.880

I'll see you there, and again, thanks for listening.

1253
01:20:29.680 --> 01:20:31.159
Her and I can get on here. We can tell

1254
01:20:31.159 --> 01:20:31.760
our stories.

1255
01:20:32.159 --> 01:20:34.319
Maybe there's somebody else out there listening.

1256
01:20:34.279 --> 01:20:37.439
That's too afraid to tell their story. Maybe this will.

1257
01:20:37.239 --> 01:20:40.079
Give them the courage to come out. And I feel

1258
01:20:40.159 --> 01:20:43.319
so bad about it. Who cares what anybody thinks. I

1259
01:20:43.359 --> 01:20:46.560
know what I saw, I know what's out there. That's

1260
01:20:46.600 --> 01:20:47.319
all I care about.

1261
01:21:03.239 --> 01:21:06.760
Please let people know, Please let them know.

1262
01:21:07.039 --> 01:21:08.399
If you've ever seen one.

1263
01:21:08.239 --> 01:21:12.000
Of these things, you need to tell because if you don't,

1264
01:21:12.319 --> 01:22:03.039
then shame on you. You have shame on you.
