What happens when a lifelong Bigfoot believer has an unexpected encounter just a few miles from his home in Tennessee? In this captivating episode of Bigfoot Society, we chat with Ridge, a Bigfoot researcher and distillery owner who’s had a front-row seat to the mysterious world of Sasquatch. Ridge shares his extraordinary experience from July 2022 when he witnessed a massive, black Sasquatch gliding across the road near Georgia’s paper mills, all while documenting his findings in real-time. But that’s just the beginning. Join us as we dive deep into Ridge’s ongoing research in the Upper Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee, an area rich with Bigfoot activity and eerie paranormal phenomena. From vocalizations and mysterious tree knocks to encounters with cryptids like the dogman, Ridge’s story blends both the supernatural and the cryptid world. You’ll hear about his investigations, sightings near a park, and strange encounters in his own backyard. Plus, Ridge shares insights into the interdimensional theories around Sasquatch and the paranormal activity surrounding his haunted distillery. Tune in for a thrilling, first-hand account of Bigfoot in the heart of Tennessee.

00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:04.280
You're listening to Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. Tonight's

2
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:06.679
stories from a man whose life was forever changed when

3
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:09.599
he saw Bigfoot. Ridge shares his jaw dropping account of

4
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.560
the massive Sasquatch, its mood stride, and the evidence that

5
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.160
proves Bigfoot is more than a legend. But this story

6
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:18.640
isn't about one sighting. It's about a world of strange

7
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:22.280
activity unfolding in the mountains of Tennessee, from haunted distilleries

8
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.120
to cryptids lurking in the woods. And this episode will

9
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:27.679
uncover a whole new side to the Bigfoot mystery. So

10
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.120
stay with us, all right, big for Society. I've got

11
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:32.840
the privilege of talking to Ridge today. Ridge is an

12
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.000
individual that we got connected to. I believe it was Facebook,

13
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.520
but he's got it. Yes, Yes, I got an interesting

14
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:46.240
encounter to share, and maybe some other stuff that's related.

15
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:52.000
Let's see, Ridge owns a distillery in Tennessee which is haunted,

16
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.560
so that might come up as well. There's a lot

17
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:58.560
of interesting things that are coming into play here. But Ridge,

18
00:00:58.840 --> 00:00:59.520
welcome to the show.

19
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.840
How's it go on, man, I'm doing great, doing great? Yeah.

20
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.239
Absolutely, it sounds like.

21
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:14.760
Let's let's let's start with your original bigfoot sighting back

22
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:18.159
in July of twenty twenty two. First, I'll let you

23
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.079
start sharing that and then we'll see where where it

24
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.319
goes after that, because I think this is all connected.

25
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:29.760
Okay, Yeah, back in twenty twenty two. I've always been

26
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.799
a believer in Bigfoot, just never thought they were in

27
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.159
our area. Thought they were more out in the west,

28
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:39.200
out in California or Washington State, Oregon, up in that

29
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.120
area in the deep woods. But in twenty twenty two

30
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.200
I became a knower, not just a believer. So I

31
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:52.079
was working down in Georgia, down between America's Georgia Plains,

32
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:55.920
Georgia area, and I work for an engineering company, so

33
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.799
I do mapping for new projects. And I was down

34
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.719
there riding the roads looking at what all needed to

35
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:07.439
look at and putting stuff on the computer. And I

36
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.439
was out in the area where they'd grow all these

37
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.479
trees for the paper mills to make their paper. And

38
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:16.479
it's just miles and miles of trees, just in straight roads.

39
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.479
And I had pulled off the side of the road

40
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.400
was putting some stuff on the computer. There happened to

41
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.280
look up and this thing went across the road in

42
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:30.039
front of me. It was the middle of July, you know,

43
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.199
a hundred degree day, just sweltering hot day, when I

44
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:35.240
had the air conditioning just running wide open, you know,

45
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:40.879
so hot, and this thing walked across the road from

46
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.439
one side to the other in about six steps, and

47
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.240
me working with the roads and all doing what I'm doing.

48
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.479
I know, the distance there from the center of the

49
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.080
road to the side of the right of way is

50
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.080
thirty three feet on each side, so it's sixty six feet.

51
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.000
So this thing in about six steps covered that whole area,

52
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.400
which would have made about a nine foot stride. It

53
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.400
takes me twenty two steps to do the same distance,

54
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.479
And so I know this was no human in a

55
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.879
in a suit on a one hundred degree day that

56
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:17.000
did this. And so when I saw it, I put

57
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:18.759
the car in gear, drove up to where I saw

58
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.439
it across the road at and there was the bushes

59
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:24.960
that had grown up, and there was a hole there

60
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.400
where the game had been going through in and out

61
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:31.319
through there. And I got pictures of the area. I

62
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.879
took GPS coordinates and everything and tried contacting the Georgia

63
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.800
Bigfoot people, you know, because before you know, I believed

64
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:41.840
in them. I just you know, I never had any

65
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:46.759
close contact or anything, and so I didn't think that

66
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.560
much about them. But then I when I tried, you know,

67
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.280
reaching out to people, you know, I just had people

68
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:54.680
saying following, you know, following, you know, but I never

69
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.319
did really have any people that you know, responded back

70
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:01.280
to me. So I started to doing my own research,

71
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.840
just you know, looking around finding out other people that

72
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.000
had experiences, you know, and getting on Facebook, on the

73
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:10.879
groups and stuff. You know, I'm a member of a

74
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.479
lot of different groups now, and and hearing all the

75
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:19.959
stories from you know, different people in their encounters, you know,

76
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:24.160
it showed me, you know, I wasn't crazy. And you know,

77
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.319
I know this creature was not a human, you know,

78
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.480
by the speed that it went across the road, and

79
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.720
that it glided across the road just with a smooth gait,

80
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.240
and like saying, about six steps. It was across the

81
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.160
road and in the woods, and so it only took

82
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.000
you know, three or four seconds where it would take us,

83
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.160
you know, quite you know a little bit more time

84
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.120
than that, and we would be bouncing up and down

85
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.920
trying to run. But that was my encounter there, and

86
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.000
since then, you know, I've been doing all this research

87
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:58.279
and digging in pretty deep and finding out more and

88
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.360
more in our area where I live in uh, Central Tennessee,

89
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.759
up in the mountains is really really active. I mean

90
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.439
I've been coming across a lot of accounts and people

91
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:14.399
contacting me now telling me about their encounters and so

92
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.240
we're we're fixing and start doing some heavy research up

93
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.199
in that area. Which some people have already been researching

94
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.160
in our area and have seen things. Uh so I'm getting,

95
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.480
you know, to know them and what they've seen. But

96
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:31.519
it's you know, it's it's interesting and and you know,

97
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:33.600
I'm just trying to learn as much as I can now.

98
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:40.560
Oh absolutely, let's let's talk about your road sighting for

99
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.079
for a little bit. I think that's that's very interesting.

100
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:47.160
So the whole time you were having a view of

101
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.279
of its side, I would guess as it moved across.

102
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.079
Yes, it just went from one side to the other,

103
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.279
and I saw the side view, you know, it walking across.

104
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.839
So it was a bipedal, a solid black uh, you know,

105
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.600
middle of the day at one hundred degrees south Georgia,

106
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.439
sweltering heat. It wasn't somebody in the suits, you know,

107
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:07.959
because as you tell and plus you know, like I said,

108
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.800
it was out where it wasn't really populated and it

109
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.800
was just trees, and there's deer like crazy down there.

110
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.360
People go deer hunting down in those areas, you know,

111
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.920
because there's so much wildlife and so there's plenty of

112
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:25.000
food for them, plenty of shelter. It's you know, sparsely populated,

113
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.800
so they're you know, they're out of sight. And and

114
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.920
there have been other you know, sightings down there. I

115
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:33.199
later found out, you know, in the same area.

116
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:39.360
Okay, could you get a feel as to how long

117
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:45.040
the black hair was on it?

118
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.439
I mean it covered the body completely, so it was

119
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:50.199
you know, I had to be pretty long, cover the

120
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:54.800
body completely, Like say, the number of steps that it took.

121
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:57.519
You know, I've got a three foot stride went on

122
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.600
my walk, and that's how I measure things when I'm walking,

123
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:05.519
and like I say, mine's twenty two steps to cover

124
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.319
that sixty six foot area. So it was about a

125
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:10.319
nine foot stride on it. So it would have had

126
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:14.319
have been, you know, probably about nine feet tall to

127
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.959
have a stride like that. It was a lot larger

128
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:20.800
than a human and you know, it was solid. It

129
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.720
wasn't you know, skin or anything like that. It was

130
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:26.439
a pretty bensized creature.

131
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:28.399
Okay. And how.

132
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.839
So as in front of your vehicle, how close to

133
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:34.560
the vehicle was it when it crossed?

134
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:38.759
It was probably you know, one hundred, one hundred and

135
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.120
fifty feet in front of me. So I got a

136
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.920
pretty good view at it. And that's how I could,

137
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:48.000
you know, kind of see him any steps too. And

138
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.680
you know, it just happened so fast. You know, I

139
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.920
had no time to to get a camera even think

140
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.720
about a camera at that time. So now I have

141
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:00.800
you know, the driving camera was on the front and

142
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:05.000
the back of my work vehicle. So something happens now

143
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.879
then you know, hopefully I'll capture it on the on

144
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:10.120
the dash cans there.

145
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:14.360
From what you saw that day, and I know it

146
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.879
did happen really quick, But was there anything you remember

147
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:23.560
that is different than what most bigfoot researchers will say

148
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.560
about bigfoot.

149
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.879
Not from from what you know I started studying and

150
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:34.000
reading and have heard in the past. You know, this

151
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:38.080
one's pretty typical as far as the smoothness of the gate.

152
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.440
You know, it's just kind of glided across the road

153
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.399
you didn't have a or you're bouncing up and down

154
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:47.000
because I guess their feet are more flat and they

155
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:51.039
don't go from hill to toe like like we normally do.

156
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:55.240
And from all the other reports I've heard, you know,

157
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:58.200
it's pretty much a smooth gate. They don't bounce up

158
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:02.759
and down. And this one was, you know, typical what

159
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:05.559
you think of bigfoot, you know, with the you know,

160
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:10.279
no neck really you know, just just large creature. And uh,

161
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.720
like I say, it was solid black. So this one

162
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.440
I have heard of some that are more like us

163
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.919
and don't have as much hair on them, you know,

164
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.200
from other reports I've heard, but this one was, you know,

165
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.759
solid black. And I know they come in different colors,

166
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:28.879
kind of like you know, dogs of litters and you

167
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:34.080
have different shades of colors on those. I did find

168
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.440
out about ten years ago that in nineteen ninety seven

169
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.399
when we lived in Alabama, my kids saw one. It's

170
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.720
called the Alabama White Thing. Uh th h A and

171
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.720
G is I G is A and G it's a

172
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:51.240
Southern thing. But yeah, and I didn't even know about

173
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:53.720
that unil about ten years ago. My wife she knew

174
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:56.080
about it, but my son, he was like six years old,

175
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.080
my daughter was like nine years old. They were over

176
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:02.519
their cousins and and they were out playing that in

177
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:06.720
the yard there, and it came out of the woods,

178
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:10.360
you know, bipedal walking, and the girls ran in the

179
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:13.360
house left my son out there, and he says it

180
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:18.919
was more like a dog man creature, and you know,

181
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:23.519
it scared them, and they can recall it real, real vivid,

182
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.240
you know, from even from the way back then, because

183
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.840
that was back in ninety seven. So they're both in

184
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:34.480
their thirties now. And when I researched that one, I

185
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.159
found out that it's there have been several sightings in

186
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.679
that same area that we lived. There was three different

187
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.320
counties that butted up together. It's kind of like a

188
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:45.480
triangle right there, and there was several sidings and I

189
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:47.600
know there was one other siding back in ninety seven

190
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:51.759
right there. So you know, through all my research, I've

191
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.879
heard of all colorations of the creatures, varying degrees of

192
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:01.360
hair on them, you know, and the dog man is

193
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.559
something I'm just now getting into. I really never knew

194
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.720
much about them, but that's that's something that's you know,

195
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:11.240
researching more and more on.

196
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:20.440
Also, that's really a really interesting sighting, and it definitely

197
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.320
you can tell it affected you because you know, now

198
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:27.919
you're in central Tennessee and you're doing what it sounds like,

199
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:32.879
you're starting active research. When when you say central Tennessee,

200
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:36.960
and you know, not to get overly specific, but is

201
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.000
that considered the Nashville like north of Nashville area.

202
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.240
It's right in between Nashville and Knoxville, So it's about

203
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.519
one hundred miles either way from Nashville to Knoxville up

204
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.240
in the Upper Cumberland Mountains. So you know, we have

205
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.960
the mountain areas. There's a lot of forest up there,

206
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.440
a lot of state parks. My property actually butts up

207
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.639
to a state park, and there's been a lot of

208
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:07.080
sightings in there. We've had activity at our house, and

209
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:10.919
we had activity back in twenty eighteen when we had

210
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.799
we bought our property. We didn't have a house on

211
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.399
it yet, but we would camp up there, and so

212
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:23.519
we were camping one year on July fourth, and it

213
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:25.519
was a you know, one hundred degree day, whind was

214
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:27.720
just really still. It was just really hot and human

215
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:30.840
and we were packing up, getting ready to leave, and

216
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:33.360
on the other hill, on the on the ridge there,

217
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.120
it just started it heard a tree just start crack

218
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.320
crack cracking. Then as we go huge tree just fell over,

219
00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:42.960
you know, there was no wind or anything. Something had

220
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.480
to push it. And that was the first thing we

221
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:49.759
heard there. Then my son, we had a fire going,

222
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.200
and he went over to the edge of the hill

223
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.039
because it's like a three hundred foot drop down to

224
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.000
the bottom of the valley, and he just hit the

225
00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.320
tree with a stick, you know, a few times, and

226
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:01.159
there was something out at him and he can come

227
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.679
over to the fire real quick. And then in twenty eighteen,

228
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:08.440
we had a camper up there when we were building

229
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:11.360
our log cabin, and me and my wife were just

230
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:14.559
sitting there playing cards in the camper. The wind wasn't

231
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:17.879
blowing as you know, dark outside, and we heard this

232
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:22.320
thing like you know, you know, it sounds like somebody

233
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:26.000
saying he's just really really loud, and just sent shivers

234
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.720
up our spine, you know, and turned the light off

235
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:30.519
and had the gun, said what do you want? What

236
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:32.720
do you want? Never heard anything. And we lived half

237
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.320
a mile off the main road, you know, dead ends

238
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:40.440
on our ridge back there, and and you know, we

239
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.039
we didn't really give them much thought of a big foot,

240
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.919
but then recently, I've got some vocalizations that have been

241
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.960
recorded in our county and it sounds the same as

242
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:54.399
what we heard, So you know, I bet it was

243
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.159
you know, we put a camper out there. It was

244
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:00.919
something different and they were just checking it out. So

245
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:03.720
and let's say we butt up to a state park.

246
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.879
There's nothing but trees. So yeah, plenty of room back there,

247
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:12.200
wild hogs and deer, form turkeys. Okay, plenty of foods, water.

248
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:17.159
So you're you're very close to state park in Tennis's

249
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:17.879
my backyard.

250
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:20.799
I'll look down a big valley into the park. So

251
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:24.639
have you ever heard yep?

252
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.600
Uh yeah, I'm just I'm I am trying to do

253
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:38.360
a I'm going to say, uh yeah, there's stuff that

254
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:42.120
happens in that area. I have to be ever so

255
00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:45.600
careful about what I say right now. I'm trying to

256
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:49.279
think of what is public and what's not. But yeah,

257
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:52.639
there there are things going on in that area. So

258
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:55.480
there are people reaching out to you with with recordings

259
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.039
of vocals from your county.

260
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:02.320
Yes. One of them was a researcher. He's been researching

261
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:07.080
for forty years and he he he told me, he said, yeah,

262
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.519
we're on a hunt tonight and then it wasn't a

263
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:14.360
little while later he sent me to recordings and it

264
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:16.240
was like I said, it was what I heard outside

265
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:21.639
my camper, but it was it was long like like that,

266
00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:24.639
and then it had that guttural growl I mean, and

267
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.639
it was loud. I said, it sounded like you were

268
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:28.519
pretty close. He said, I was in the tree and

269
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.639
it was right below me. And uh, he had one

270
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.679
of those uh sound things, you know, tone things that

271
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:38.279
capture the sound, and he said he dropped that out

272
00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:41.799
of the tree. But you know, I said, didn't know

273
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:43.440
you were there, and he said, I think it did.

274
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:45.799
But he's been doing it for a long time. He's

275
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:49.399
had a lot of encounters. Uh. He used to be

276
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:53.000
a deputy sheriff in the county and he was telling

277
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:54.879
me about some reports of some I'm not going to

278
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.840
go into details because he confided to me, but but

279
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:01.639
this was back in like at night ninety seven and

280
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:04.240
there was special ops people came in and everything. So

281
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:09.159
and he you know, so he doesn't reveal too much

282
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:12.559
information about where he hunts or or you know, details

283
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:16.879
because we have helicopters flying over our place all the time.

284
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:21.600
You know, sometimes they don't have any lights on at

285
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:26.320
the night time, flying below the airspace they're supposed to be,

286
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:31.320
you know, if their military and and we've had one

287
00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:35.000
lady that had one on her property. She said the

288
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:39.679
helicopter actually landed out on her property instead. They were

289
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:43.080
buzzing her house all the time. And I'm not surprised.

290
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:44.960
It's just a lot of activity out there.

291
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.559
It really is, you know.

292
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.639
All. My main thing is I talk to people about

293
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:56.720
bigfoot areas and all across the US, and there's some

294
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.360
really interesting things happening in this area if you start

295
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:07.400
to put things together. You said you've noticed dog man

296
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:08.319
activity as well.

297
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:13.839
There's been some accounts of dog men there, just a

298
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:17.880
few accounts. The main activity that I've heard of is

299
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.599
between in the LVL. It's the land between the lakes

300
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:26.559
there in Kentucky, and it's a big It's between the

301
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:31.119
Tennessee River and the Cumberland River, and it's as about

302
00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:33.240
a five mile stretch from one river to the other,

303
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.279
and then it goes for probably one hundred miles north

304
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:41.400
and south and most of it's all preserved land, you know,

305
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:46.039
it's it's park land. They have primitive camping in some

306
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:50.599
areas and some regular campsites and others. But I just

307
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:54.079
found out about a report, I think in nineteen eighty

308
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:57.160
two about a dog man account or a dog man

309
00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:01.000
attack at one of the new camps that's there, and

310
00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:04.240
it killed a family of four and ripped the camper

311
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.240
all the pieces, shreded the bodies and they found the

312
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:10.559
like a five year old girl up in a tree.

313
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:14.319
And so they never developed that park. It's just primitive

314
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:17.119
camping only, and you know, they didn't want to develop

315
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.880
that one. But I mean, hre, I understand they're they're

316
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:22.720
all up and down through there. Uh and the dogment

317
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.359
are pretty vicious, is what I understand. The big Foots.

318
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.119
I'm more intrigued with them and want to build a

319
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:32.799
relationship and get to where I can stand in front

320
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:37.240
of one and you know, observe them like some of

321
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.839
the other people I've talked to that have done that.

322
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.720
You know, one on one guy, he had a family

323
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.880
of them that he was visiting for three years and

324
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:52.400
they there, there was three of them that would come

325
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:54.799
to him, but the other one stayed in the woods,

326
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.079
but he would go back every day and take different

327
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:00.279
things out there to them. On the big Foot and

328
00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:05.680
his story is pretty good. And he was a mayor

329
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:07.960
of a county there in Tennessee, so he had to be,

330
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:12.440
you know, kind of chush about well going on. He

331
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:14.759
didn't want to lose his position and all that, you know,

332
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:17.200
talking about him and then the police chief. I think

333
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:19.880
I knew about him too, Nick County.

334
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:24.720
I think I know who you are referring to. Yeah, yeah,

335
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:25.680
both of those gentlemen.

336
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:34.720
Yeah yeah, So have you heard situations in that area

337
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:43.160
where there have been very intense encounters between Bigfoot and

338
00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:47.720
individuals that encounter them in that area around I.

339
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:50.839
Know one of the researchers. I had a meeting in

340
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:55.680
February at my distillery and we had over ninety people

341
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:57.720
show up. I had no clue if anybody would even

342
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:00.279
show up. I just started by the first year, said,

343
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:02.799
you know, I want to just have a meeting and

344
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:05.319
just see if anybody has any interest in the area

345
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:07.279
or has any stories, because I wanted to try to

346
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:08.799
find out as much as I could. It's kind of

347
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.359
pinpoint where activity may be happening. And so I you know,

348
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:15.119
I made up a flyer. You know, Tennessee cryptis be

349
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.839
putting beyond is what I called it. And uh and

350
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.319
I just put the date on there on Saturday from

351
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:24.839
three to five, and we had over ninety people show up,

352
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:28.559
and a lot of them had had encounters, you know. Uh,

353
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:30.599
some of them didn't want to talk about it. Uh,

354
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:34.480
some of them did. And then there was probably that

355
00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:36.960
many more people that said they would were wanting to come,

356
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:38.960
but they had prior engagements and they weren't able to

357
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:41.720
make it. So We're having another meeting coming up in

358
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:46.359
two weeks and I've got a guest speaker coming on

359
00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:50.960
that one. But I mean, I was just surprised at

360
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:55.519
the outpouring of people saying, you know, I've seen things

361
00:20:55.720 --> 00:21:00.240
and all that, and and and sharing their stories and

362
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.279
and like I said, some of them didn't want their

363
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:04.279
names huesed or anything like that. They told me they

364
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:07.559
would tell me their stories and uh. And one guy,

365
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.920
he said he was hunting up in the woods several

366
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:14.599
years ago and saw a big foot and it spooked

367
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:17.559
him pretty good. And uh. And it was about three

368
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:19.519
years later he was out in the woods hunting again

369
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:24.799
and saw like a giant eline. I asked him myself,

370
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:26.920
was it like like a black panther? He said, about

371
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:29.319
three hundred pounds heavier than a panther, so that would

372
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:33.559
have been huge. And uh, he said he will not

373
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:35.799
go back in the woods at all. Now he even

374
00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:38.240
moved to the big you know, to the city, and

375
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:39.960
he does not want to go in the woods at all.

376
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:46.079
That's that's some wild, wild, wild stuff.

377
00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:50.200
It could have been what they call wampas cat named cat.

378
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:53.640
I don't know if that's what he saw. I've seen

379
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:58.079
pictures of him. But in my meeting, what I wanted

380
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:01.160
to do is open people's mind. So there was there

381
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:03.720
was some people there, you know that I believe. Some

382
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.160
didn't believe really that they were just intrigued. And I

383
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:09.519
told them, I said, you know, don't believe anything I say.

384
00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:13.400
I want you to research for yourself. I said, you know,

385
00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:16.319
that's when you start digging and going down these rabbit

386
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:19.680
holes and finding out all this information. Because I could

387
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:21.680
sit there and telling stuff all day long, and you know,

388
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.680
they could believe me or not. And and so the

389
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:29.119
stuff I brought out was just stuff. I wanted them

390
00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:34.200
to research for their self and start their own investigation

391
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:37.200
and come to their own conclusions. I don't try to

392
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:40.240
force anything on anybody. If they believe me, they believe me.

393
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:43.079
If they think I'm crazy, as you know, and I'm crazy.

394
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:44.599
That's well, look, you.

395
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:51.680
I would imagine that most people in this area are

396
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:52.759
probably believers.

397
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:54.000
So what do you think.

398
00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:58.279
Yeah, most of them that was at the meeting were believers,

399
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:03.480
and like say, I would always believe. But in her stories,

400
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:07.480
you know, from that from the Alps or you know,

401
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.400
other countries, other continents, and maybe a few up in Washington.

402
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:14.200
But I know, I never really knew there was that

403
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:17.599
much activity, all of them down the whole United States,

404
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:21.160
you know, in the mountainous regions, like in the Smoky Mountains,

405
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:24.720
uppercome A Mountains where we're at, you know, the Rocky Mountains,

406
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:28.319
and up in the Washington State and Oregon. That's that's

407
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:30.319
where most of the forests and everything are at, and

408
00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:33.000
that's where they're more found out. You don't find them,

409
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:34.599
you know, like out in the deserts because there's not

410
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:40.039
any cover, not that much food. But you know, I've

411
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.559
really been digging into it, getting into more, more and

412
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:44.000
more details.

413
00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:49.960
I think some people would be surprised that some areas

414
00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:55.759
in the southeast can be almost as active, which which

415
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:58.200
is surprising. But when you start to really dig into it,

416
00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:02.720
there are some areas and southeast that can get pretty wild.

417
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:06.839
Have you had any visuals yourself in this area where

418
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:07.759
you're at now.

419
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:14.759
Not in Tennessee where I'm at, you know that. I'll

420
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:18.960
say my main visual was down in Georgia. But I've

421
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:20.880
had you know, I say, all these other people that

422
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:24.440
have told me stuff, and I've just heard the vocalizations.

423
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:27.759
And I'm all the time going out now and doing

424
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:31.400
you know, down the valley and hitting the trees and

425
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:34.359
trying to get responses back where I'm at, just trying

426
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:40.599
to get them familiar. And and and we had some

427
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:43.079
big storms here a while back. Everybody's been having storms

428
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:46.640
here lately. But I was out picking up linbs out

429
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:50.880
in the yard and I thought I heard a radio

430
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:53.599
on the other ridge because I heard a male and

431
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:58.480
a female voice. But it wasn't English, and it wasn't Spanish.

432
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:00.720
It was a you know, I couldn't understand they were saying.

433
00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:04.400
But and it's kind of sounded like, you know, somebody

434
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:06.240
talking on radio or something. I thought somebody had on

435
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:09.799
radio on you know, some other language, but channel or whatever.

436
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:14.880
But then it stopped, and I'm thinking there was what

437
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.839
they called chatter, uh right over the hill from where

438
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.559
I was standing, you know, picking up sticks and stuff

439
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:27.039
because it was loud and and you know clear, I

440
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:31.200
just couldn't understand it. And I have heard that some

441
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:35.319
of the creatures, you know, respond to Native American language

442
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:40.039
because the the Cherokee. I'm actually working in Cherokee, North

443
00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:43.880
Carolina right now on the fiber project up here. And

444
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:48.000
so I've been up here since December. And there's parts

445
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:51.440
of the reservation here that I'm not allowed to go on. Uh.

446
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:55.960
And they keep some things, you know, hidden here. They

447
00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:59.119
have all kinds of folklore about big foods here.

448
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:00.000
Uh.

449
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:04.279
They call them keepers of the forest or hairy men.

450
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:08.400
There's all kinds of names they use for them down

451
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:11.400
in Tennessee where I'm from, uh, And in the South,

452
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:14.680
most people call them, uh, wood buggers, you know, the

453
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:17.279
older people before the turn Big Cook came about, they

454
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:20.400
were known as wood boggers or boogey Man or you know,

455
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:23.480
things like that because they had different names for him.

456
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:28.119
But over here on the reservation there's they have different

457
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:30.079
names for them too. But like I said, there's areas

458
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:32.839
that are you know, general publics are not allowed to

459
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:36.920
go at all, and so you know, they could be

460
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:40.720
harboring them them in a safe zone there or something

461
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:45.519
like that. I don't know. But when I Jane in January,

462
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:47.799
was up here working, I went up on top of

463
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:50.240
one of the mountains on a service road and it

464
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:53.480
was still covered with snow on the upper part. The

465
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:57.720
bottom part had melted from the previous week snow. But

466
00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:59.400
I got up the very top and the road that

467
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:04.160
ended and turned around and I noticed some prints in

468
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:07.200
the snow on my left side, and I got to

469
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:09.279
looking on the right and it's like they came out

470
00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:12.279
of the woods, went across the road and down the

471
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:14.319
edge of the road and then back down into the woods.

472
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:16.440
And I got out and put my foot in the

473
00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:18.720
print and it was a whole lot bigger than none.

474
00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:23.200
And then a bigfoot researcher up here. I showed them

475
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:25.920
the pictures of where the prints went down the edge

476
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:28.480
of the road, and he looked at him and said, yeah,

477
00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:30.079
that's what I was wanting to see. And they were

478
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:34.480
in a straight line. They weren't staggered like you know,

479
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:37.119
like four walking and leave the prince side by side.

480
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:40.599
They I guess they kind of walk where they like

481
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:43.640
you'd be walking on a runway model runway or something

482
00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:45.920
in this one foot in front of the other. Absolutely,

483
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:50.160
that's what that's what this picture was showing, you know,

484
00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:52.599
And that's how it was. And I'd say these prints

485
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:56.160
were large. You know, it had snowed the week before,

486
00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:58.039
so there could have been some melting and there wasn't

487
00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:01.480
any total impressions because any of that snow would have

488
00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:04.160
melted to this, you know, would have been thin. But

489
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.839
they're pretty large. And but he, you know, he knew

490
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.599
what he was looking for, and and me and him

491
00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:14.720
has actually gone down on one of the highest mountains

492
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:19.279
down south of Cherokee here, and it's a federal park

493
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:21.839
up there, and we were down there at one o'clock

494
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:24.279
in the morning up there, just walking by the moonlight,

495
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:28.000
and we had activity up there. We had tree knocks,

496
00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:31.160
we had whoops, and you know, we can hear the

497
00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:34.200
sticks breaking me down things in the woods there. And

498
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:39.519
we had a thermals, cameras and quarters and stuff, and

499
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:42.640
so we got some pretty good activity up there, and

500
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:45.039
he'd he'd seen him there before. He goes a lot.

501
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:54.759
Do you feel like around your current Tennessee area that

502
00:28:54.839 --> 00:29:00.559
there's any communication going back of any kind between you

503
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:02.839
and the creatures that are out there.

504
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:11.240
I'm trying to build up a you know, a dialogue

505
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:17.359
or trust where they may respond you know, positivity and

506
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:21.720
without you know, trying to scare me. And so what

507
00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:24.480
I do is, you know, they tell you to go

508
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:27.799
and talk to the woods, So you go out there,

509
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:31.799
you know, you just talk and and if they're out there,

510
00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:35.079
they can hear you. I also do mine speak, try

511
00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:37.559
to do mind speaking, just you know, just think in

512
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:39.200
my mind. You know, I'm not here to harm you.

513
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:42.200
I just want to you know, learn about you and

514
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:45.559
and all that, and you know, and a lot of

515
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:49.440
people talk about that that that helps. And I've also

516
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:52.839
heard some people that have said that they hurt in

517
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:57.880
their mind get out now, you know. And so I

518
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:01.920
guess if they can use the telequence u uh, you know,

519
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:05.720
speak tepathically like that, and they can warn you to

520
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:08.920
get out of the area. Because some of the people

521
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:13.440
I've taught to say that these are primitive human beings,

522
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:17.279
are you know, primitive people, and that they you know,

523
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:20.880
they have their own language. Uh, they may have abilities

524
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:25.480
that we don't have. You know, they could be interdimensional.

525
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:28.039
You know, I heard a lot of different things, and

526
00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:31.599
that could be why people see them and then they

527
00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:34.400
don't see them, you know, because they're they're kind of

528
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:39.960
interdimensional and or have the ability to cloak with the

529
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.279
type of hair they have that's kind of clear or hollow.

530
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.039
You know. I've heard all kinds of different people talking

531
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:54.200
about things like that, but I am trying to, like say,

532
00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:58.279
build up a trust with them and so they know

533
00:30:58.359 --> 00:30:59.759
that I'm out there to harm them.

534
00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:06.799
Do you feel like there's been a time where you

535
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:13.160
may have experienced something like that via thought or anything

536
00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:13.400
like that.

537
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:21.319
Yeah. Actually, when I was doing the Bigfoot presentation at

538
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:25.519
the Distivery, there was something that was messing with me there.

539
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:26.920
I don't know if it was one of the Speirits

540
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.400
that's there at the distillery, or there are some Bigfoots.

541
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:34.240
Somehow knew I was doing a meeting on Bigfoot because

542
00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:39.440
about thirty minutes before the presentation, you know, I had everything.

543
00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:42.880
I had all this information, pictures, and I was trying

544
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:45.839
to do a slide show and all this stuff, and

545
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:50.559
my heart started racing. My mind was just jumbled up.

546
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:54.200
I was trying to print stuff off the printer off

547
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:57.200
my phone and there was no print button. The TV

548
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:00.599
wouldn't connect you know, it's like everything was one against

549
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:04.640
me on that and you know, my mind was just

550
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.680
just racing it and I was able to actually get

551
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:10.680
the stuff, the information out and I will rewatch the

552
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:13.319
video that I filmed when when you know, I did

553
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:16.480
the presentation, I filmed it. I didn't do too bad

554
00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:19.119
of a job, but I mean it could have been

555
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:21.279
a lot better. But something was messing with me then.

556
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:25.640
And that's the first time I've ever had that particular

557
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:29.319
type of experience. I've seen it on TV or you know,

558
00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:31.559
ghost punters and stuff are going and they get kind

559
00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:37.079
of confused or you know it's they're not theirself, you know,

560
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:41.799
And that's kind of what was happening there. And you know,

561
00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:45.480
something was trying to keep me from talking about it,

562
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:47.200
I think, But it could have been one of the

563
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:50.039
spirits in the distillery. But you know, they haven't ever

564
00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:52.160
messed with me like that. We know they're there, but

565
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:55.920
they haven't messed with me like that.

566
00:32:55.920 --> 00:33:01.119
That's that's extremely interesting. That's it's definitely something you know

567
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:04.400
to think about, and it's hard because there's you know,

568
00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:07.960
no way to know if you know what what side

569
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:12.640
that is coming from, right, But about have you ever

570
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:16.200
actually gone into the park itself to see if you

571
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:19.839
can find evidence of Bigfoot inside the park or is

572
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:22.319
it just on the outside of it.

573
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:27.000
We've walked on some of the trails before, but I

574
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.559
wasn't really looking at that time. I mean, there's trails

575
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:33.640
all through the park, and it's public access land, so

576
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:36.680
there's you know, you can go all around there. I

577
00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:39.319
work out of town a lot, so I don't have

578
00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:43.440
the opportunity to go into the park a lot. But

579
00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:45.960
I'm like saying, I live right there on and it

580
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:49.559
starts basically at the bottom of my property, so I

581
00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:54.720
am in the park and I want to get to

582
00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:59.200
where I can do more investigations in there, looking for

583
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:04.640
you know, tree structures, for you know, prints, things like that.

584
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:08.239
But I'm just not getting into that part of it.

585
00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:11.079
I know there's there's people that lead people in there

586
00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:13.880
and do do investigations. You know that they ten or

587
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:16.719
twelve people in there and just walk around and try

588
00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:19.079
to look for things like that, But I haven't done

589
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:24.000
those yet. And but that's something we're looking at doing,

590
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:25.880
you know, kind of getting a core group out of

591
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:29.199
these meetings of people that want to go do investigations

592
00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:32.320
and you know, and walk through the woods and do

593
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:35.480
that document stuff and then we'll do some night hunts too.

594
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:39.719
But you know, being out there night can you can

595
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:43.199
you can hear things. Uh. I've heard cars that were

596
00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:45.519
four or five miles away. You know, they're exhausted and

597
00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:48.760
watch their headlights and stuff. So it can get really

598
00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:50.880
quiet out there, and you can hear for you know,

599
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:54.800
long long ways. So you know, you can hear some

600
00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:56.559
noises out there. You say, well, I don't know what

601
00:34:56.679 --> 00:35:01.920
that is, you know, but that U But like I said,

602
00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:04.719
I'm just down getting into that research part. I do

603
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:08.840
have one that's away from start but is still in

604
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:14.599
the county that I've got two investigations to do for

605
00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:17.440
two different people, and they're within a mile and a

606
00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:21.119
half from each other, and neither one of them. I

607
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:23.079
haven't told them who they are. I just told them

608
00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:26.840
that they had some neighbors that had activity also because

609
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:29.039
I'm not going to reveal who who the other people

610
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:33.840
are to them, you know, for their privacy. But one

611
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:36.480
lady has had a lot of activity on her property.

612
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:38.800
She's actually going to sell her property because it's scared

613
00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:41.679
her so bad. The other one just the other night

614
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:49.320
posted bigfoot howling in the background that sounded just like

615
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:54.159
the one I've heard. And then I got to talk

616
00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:57.119
to the landowner on that one after I saw the video,

617
00:35:57.880 --> 00:35:59.840
and he told me they've been having activity for about

618
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:04.719
two years on there and those are getting those are

619
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:09.440
killing some of the livestock, you know. And at the

620
00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:12.519
one lady's house, they they are banging on the house

621
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:17.360
and she's seen the mother and the juveniles, and she's

622
00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:21.039
got scared to death by the big guy one time

623
00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:23.480
when she went smoked on her deck, went out there

624
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:25.159
and leaned over the deck at night and looked over

625
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:28.519
and there was and I mean she was just in

626
00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:30.559
tears when she was talking to me about it. So

627
00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:34.280
I'm gonna go over there and investigate those during the

628
00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:39.400
daytime and look for evidence, you know, prints and tree structures,

629
00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:42.119
and look at the pile of bones. She said, there's

630
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:45.360
that she picked up like fifteen gold schools and there's

631
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:48.880
just piles of bones where they'd been sitting there eating

632
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:50.920
them in the farms like a mile away where the

633
00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:51.599
ghilts are from.

634
00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:56.880
So wow, And that's that's in that same area of

635
00:36:57.559 --> 00:36:59.159
central Tennessee where you're at.

636
00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:02.280
Yeah, yes, yes, still in the uptown the mountains. Yeah,

637
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:05.559
it's probably about thirty miles and a lot of people

638
00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:09.440
say that they they kind of travel around. They may

639
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:11.320
not stay in the same area all the time, but

640
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:15.920
there's different families of them, different units of of the

641
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:19.280
you know, the family structures there, so they you know,

642
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:20.679
they may stay in one area for a while and

643
00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:23.079
they may move. But I mean there's so much land

644
00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:25.559
there some uh there. You've got the rivers, you got

645
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:29.599
the lakes, and all the woods. There's plenty of room

646
00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:34.800
for your cover and and isolation. And then I mean

647
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:38.719
I'm hearing all these stories from you know, the past

648
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:41.400
where people talk about their grandma and grandpa and all them,

649
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:45.000
you know, talking about them. And there's even places up

650
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:51.679
there like like Booger Ridge, Brimstone, Booger you know, things

651
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:54.960
like that where there was creatures in different areas and

652
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:57.519
they always name them whatever that area is and they'll

653
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.840
call them booger. And so that's how these roads and

654
00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:05.159
trails and areas got their name because of creatures that

655
00:38:05.159 --> 00:38:09.360
were sighted, you know, years and years ago. And actually

656
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:14.159
have you heard the account of Daniel Boone killing the Bigfoot? Oh?

657
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:17.719
Yeah, that they was a yahoo or wahoo or something.

658
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:20.559
Time yeah, they call him. They call him Yahoo's back then,

659
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:23.440
because that was a character in one of the books

660
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:26.559
that was out at the time. But that was up

661
00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:30.639
in Boonsboro, Kentucky, north of us. But it's still in

662
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:33.760
the same mountain range. But he actually had a camp

663
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:37.800
about five miles from my house along the Cumberland River

664
00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:41.760
back in the seventeen hundreds. He was like the first

665
00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:46.119
white settler up through there. He's named a lot of

666
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:48.280
the rivers, a lot of the areas and all that.

667
00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:50.719
And there's still a lot of Booms that are living

668
00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:56.039
in the area that are descendants of his. But he

669
00:38:56.119 --> 00:38:59.159
spent about two years there right close to my house.

670
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:03.079
But I said it was later that he actually killed

671
00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:07.719
that bigfoot that was trying to kill his son. And

672
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:09.880
I think they measured it out to like nine or

673
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:18.599
ten feet according to the story there and says, you know,

674
00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:23.119
and Davy Crockett also had an encounter. I don't know

675
00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:26.920
if it's in that area or not, but and apparently

676
00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:31.400
the story was told to a group up in Saskatchewan, Canada,

677
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:33.920
and I think that's where the term Sasquatch kind of

678
00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:40.559
came about. The Sasquatch monster from Saskatchewan Canada. That's one

679
00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:41.719
story I've heard.

680
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:48.039
From people that you talk to in your area. Do

681
00:39:48.159 --> 00:39:54.000
they usually describe the bigfoot down there as looking like

682
00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:58.360
either an ape or more human like? Or is it

683
00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:01.199
kind of back and forth across the board.

684
00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:08.559
There was one lady that wrote a book called Fifty

685
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:12.599
Years with Bigfoot. Her name was Mary Green. She lived

686
00:40:12.679 --> 00:40:15.800
about ten miles from a while I live, and she

687
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:18.800
was kind of the bigfoot lady they called her in

688
00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:23.280
that area. And she wrote this account of a family

689
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:26.559
that they had bigfoots living on the property for over

690
00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:33.519
fifty years. And in that account they observed them, you know,

691
00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:36.480
having young ones and then growing up, and you know,

692
00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:39.679
the different generations. And they said some would travel through

693
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:42.880
occasionally for a couple of months and then begone. I

694
00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:44.599
don't know if they were picking up new you know,

695
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:48.880
different mates or something like that. And in that story

696
00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:54.559
there was variations of coloration, the amount of hair on

697
00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:57.400
their bodies, something like I said, some of them, from

698
00:40:57.480 --> 00:40:59.760
where they described it looked kind of looked like the

699
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:02.039
thing on Lord of the Rings or whatever, you know,

700
00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:04.800
that little squiggly yack whatever his name is. I don't know,

701
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:09.159
you know, but you know, so they had very little hair,

702
00:41:09.239 --> 00:41:12.840
but they were still like a while man and had

703
00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:19.599
more human features versus the eight features. One lady that

704
00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:23.480
was at our meeting, she had a picture that she

705
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:26.800
had a professional draw of what she saw at her

706
00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:30.679
house and it was a typical bigfoot, you know, no nick,

707
00:41:31.320 --> 00:41:36.360
real broad shoulders and muscular arms and legs and harry.

708
00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:41.039
And she was about ten feet from that one when

709
00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:43.039
she went to bee the animals had to play the

710
00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:44.840
food and looked up and there it was, she said,

711
00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:49.119
about ten foot tall. And she started gifting that one

712
00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:51.519
and it stayed around for a while. But I talked

713
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:53.599
to her the other day and she said she hadn't

714
00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:56.639
seen activity for a little while because she was leaving

715
00:41:56.679 --> 00:42:04.679
food out there for at marbles things like that. Not

716
00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:10.079
everybody's scared of them, you know that. You know, they're

717
00:42:10.119 --> 00:42:13.679
intrigued by by them. Some of them people are and

718
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:15.960
uh And a lot of people won't talk about them

719
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:18.800
because they may have them on the property and they

720
00:42:18.800 --> 00:42:21.400
don't want anything to happen to them. They're trying to

721
00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:25.280
protect them. So you know, some people will talk about them.

722
00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:28.760
Some people know about them, but they won't, you know,

723
00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:32.679
because sometimes there's there's several farms in the area that

724
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:35.599
know about them, and some people may be losing livestock

725
00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:38.320
or something, but you know, they don't go out there

726
00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:42.960
trying to kill them or whatever. You know.

727
00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:45.960
I actually always wondered that because if you look on

728
00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:49.000
the map about this area, there are some pretty big

729
00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:52.960
farms and so have you actually talked to these farmers

730
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:57.039
that are having to pretty much just deal with them,

731
00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:01.920
but they're just trying to keep their their livestock good.

732
00:43:02.159 --> 00:43:05.159
Yeah, I talked to some of them. I've actually gone

733
00:43:05.159 --> 00:43:09.000
out and done investigations on one guy's property that he

734
00:43:09.079 --> 00:43:10.880
showed me a picture of a big print that was

735
00:43:10.920 --> 00:43:17.039
on his property. We went and did some investigations with

736
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:21.679
the dowsing rods or the witching rods. Uh. Found some

737
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:24.880
buried stuff. I'm not going to get in detail about that,

738
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:26.719
but there are some things on the property that are

739
00:43:26.760 --> 00:43:31.320
buried and and have monolithic stones on them. So I

740
00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:33.960
don't know if it's like Indian burial sites or something

741
00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:37.360
like that, but we were using the dowsing rods trying

742
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:40.920
to find them, and we found what we were looking for.

743
00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:44.079
We walked all around the rest of the property and

744
00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:46.480
they didn't do anything. And then I mentioned that some

745
00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:49.320
of the ghost hunters use them when there's energy around

746
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:53.159
the cross and my dowsing rods crossed and I said,

747
00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:54.599
look over here, and he said to look over here,

748
00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:57.960
and his was doing the same thing, and I backed up,

749
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:00.000
went back over that spot. It didn't do it. I said,

750
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:03.239
can you do that again? And it did it, and

751
00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:06.760
our metal detectors started doing crazy all that kind of stuff.

752
00:44:06.800 --> 00:44:09.800
So that there's a lot of energy there and that

753
00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:11.960
big footprint was right there in that area that we

754
00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:16.559
were at. H and he's he's smelled them in there

755
00:44:16.639 --> 00:44:20.440
a couple of times and uh. And they had seen

756
00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:23.760
him before in Texas when they lived there. But they've

757
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:26.719
also had you know, ghost activities on that property also,

758
00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:30.719
so it was pretty active area out there. Another thing

759
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:36.599
about that area is it's ah the crater impact. It's

760
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:45.119
called the Misa Comblink Flynn Lick Crater, and that was

761
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:49.519
a meteor medions of years ago that hit and it's

762
00:44:49.559 --> 00:44:52.639
one of six in the United States. And you can't

763
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:54.920
really tell that it's a meteor impact except you know,

764
00:44:55.199 --> 00:44:57.280
it's got some mountains around it and all, but just

765
00:44:57.360 --> 00:44:59.039
looking at it you wouldn't even be able to tell.

766
00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:04.239
But the it's it's a big, huge crater, and that

767
00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:07.639
when a meteor hits like that, it creates a lot

768
00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:12.440
of energy, and just like the Serpent Mound, I believe

769
00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:16.559
in Ohio that one's on a crater impact and there's

770
00:45:16.599 --> 00:45:19.760
so much energy around that. And I'm thinking that could

771
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:22.280
be one reason there's a lot of energy and a

772
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:27.199
lot of sightings and and things like that in our area.

773
00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:30.920
It's because of the impact crater.

774
00:45:31.079 --> 00:45:35.679
Maybe that's really interesting to think about it. I don't

775
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:37.800
think that's ever come up on the show before, so

776
00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:42.360
that that is a very cool other hypothesis to look into.

777
00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:46.360
But I think you had mentioned before the show you've

778
00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:50.480
also had interactions with aliens in this area too.

779
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:58.239
Yes, personally, I've seen three different craft through my lifetime.

780
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:02.079
I've had The first time was when I was eighteen

781
00:46:02.760 --> 00:46:05.199
and thirvteen, eighteen years old, when I was doing high

782
00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:09.400
school and that was down in Alabama. We observed that

783
00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:11.320
one was about thirty minutes. Thought it was like a

784
00:46:11.440 --> 00:46:13.719
weather balloon because it was just a big silver orb

785
00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:15.719
in the sky and it was about five or six

786
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:18.920
miles away and we just observed it, you know, and

787
00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:21.960
I went home, got the binoculars when we were looking

788
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:25.440
at the binoculars, and then all of a sudden it

789
00:46:25.559 --> 00:46:27.800
just kind of took off and got out of there

790
00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:32.360
pretty quick. And then I saw another one back probably

791
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:35.800
about twenty eighteen or so when I was traveling from

792
00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:38.519
Minneapolis up to North Dakota when I was working up there,

793
00:46:39.360 --> 00:46:42.079
and I saw about a twenty five foot orb outside

794
00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:44.519
the airplane go from one cloud to the other and

795
00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:49.400
just stop. And then the last one I saw was

796
00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:53.039
a couple of years ago. A craft came over the house.

797
00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:57.719
It was low and slow, and it was big, and

798
00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:01.039
it was more like a tr th Rea B craft

799
00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:03.079
if you're familiar with those triangle.

800
00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:04.519
Craft, absolutely yeah.

801
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:08.079
And it had the back of it was was just

802
00:47:08.239 --> 00:47:10.679
red all the way, you know, across it, you know,

803
00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:14.559
kind of like a Dodge charger taillights you know, how

804
00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:16.840
to go, you know, just just red all across or whatever.

805
00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:20.559
And uh So this thing like it was you know, thick,

806
00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:25.320
but it was flat and and it was going pretty slow,

807
00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:28.840
you know, for for a craft. And it was it

808
00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:31.519
wasn't really that high up off the ground. And but

809
00:47:31.639 --> 00:47:34.760
we see stuff all the time in the sky. We'll

810
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:36.679
sit out there and look up in the sky and see.

811
00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:38.800
Of course, we see the space station come by, we

812
00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:41.920
see the starlink, but there's other things up there that

813
00:47:42.760 --> 00:47:46.360
aren't human, and you know, they're tiny dots and they're

814
00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:51.000
moving super fast. And then we have seen uh. I

815
00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:54.079
saw one that was about the river. As I was

816
00:47:54.119 --> 00:47:56.559
coming home one night with the road follows the river,

817
00:47:57.039 --> 00:47:58.400
I saw something that looked like it was a couple

818
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:00.840
of hundred feet off the river, big before light out there.

819
00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:03.159
When I got home, I was talking to the family

820
00:48:03.159 --> 00:48:05.840
about it because they were outside, you know, by the campfire,

821
00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:08.880
and then we saw this thing in the distance come

822
00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:11.079
up above the trees and went up and stopped, and

823
00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:16.519
then it went back down. Later I don't know what

824
00:48:16.679 --> 00:48:20.960
that was. I have seen another thing come out of

825
00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:23.840
the sky during a meteor shower. They were saying there

826
00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:26.400
was a meteor shower, and so we were outside looking

827
00:48:26.440 --> 00:48:29.679
at that and it came dropping down towards the horizon

828
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:34.039
and stopped, separated in like five different the lights and

829
00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:39.159
then just kind of went horizontally different directions. So I've

830
00:48:39.159 --> 00:48:41.079
seen things like that that, you know, I don't know

831
00:48:41.159 --> 00:48:43.880
what those are. With the orbs, I saw it pretty

832
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:48.360
close and the other craft came over and we have

833
00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:52.079
a cycic lady that lives down the road and she

834
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:55.480
reported or she told us that she saw a large

835
00:48:55.559 --> 00:48:59.880
craft hovering over a field down there, and her husband

836
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:02.719
couldn't see it, but she did. And and we have

837
00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:06.000
these people that are down there summoned the aliens, and

838
00:49:06.119 --> 00:49:11.519
she didn't know that that was hovering over that same field. So,

839
00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:13.559
I mean there's activity out there.

840
00:49:14.199 --> 00:49:18.440
So you've got people in the same area that are

841
00:49:18.519 --> 00:49:19.639
summoning aliens.

842
00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:25.679
Yeah. Yeah, Uh, they they did that for a couple

843
00:49:25.719 --> 00:49:28.559
of years. They haven't gone back, but their their equipment

844
00:49:28.599 --> 00:49:31.119
and everything was down there. There was a recent flood

845
00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:33.679
and it pushed they brought in some some of these

846
00:49:33.760 --> 00:49:37.000
tiny houses, they had those there. They had hum vy there.

847
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:40.519
They had a couple of vehicles and a lot of

848
00:49:40.559 --> 00:49:43.039
the stuff just got washed down into the neighbors uh

849
00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:46.679
yard down there. They had stores containers. But I came

850
00:49:46.760 --> 00:49:48.880
through one night coming in from work and it was

851
00:49:48.960 --> 00:49:51.480
like three in the morning. They had that whole field

852
00:49:51.559 --> 00:49:56.559
lit up, uh, different colors and and everything. I don't

853
00:49:56.719 --> 00:49:58.039
you know, I don't know what all they were doing,

854
00:49:58.679 --> 00:50:02.039
but but they were actually and they do this in

855
00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:05.039
different locations too. It wasn't just that one. So they

856
00:50:05.480 --> 00:50:08.039
bought that ten Acres, did all this wort to it,

857
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:12.320
and then they kind of abandoned it unless they get

858
00:50:12.360 --> 00:50:14.599
picked up. I don't know. I haven't seen them in

859
00:50:14.599 --> 00:50:17.840
a couple of years, but they had other people said

860
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:19.719
they had other locations that they would go do the

861
00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:24.679
same type of thing. That is absolutely well anything about it.

862
00:50:25.639 --> 00:50:27.239
She said she saw the craft there.

863
00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:33.400
Goodness, crazy crazy stuff that's you know, not my forte.

864
00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:38.639
But it is still interesting and man wild to think

865
00:50:38.679 --> 00:50:41.400
that people are well, I guess I guess I do

866
00:50:41.639 --> 00:50:43.599
know a little bit about that, because there isn't there

867
00:50:43.679 --> 00:50:49.920
like what's it. It's like a protocol that that people do.

868
00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:53.960
It's it's escaping my mind right now. But yeah, someone

869
00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:57.239
will probably put it in the comments. But you've got

870
00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:03.400
some wild, wild stuff going on in this area Ridge,

871
00:51:04.440 --> 00:51:07.559
my goodness, and it sounds like you're really just getting

872
00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:08.639
started with it.

873
00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:13.119
And it was about five years ago when I was

874
00:51:13.199 --> 00:51:17.039
in for July fourth weekend from out of town. That's

875
00:51:17.039 --> 00:51:21.480
when I was working up North Dakota, and I woke

876
00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:25.400
up and the whole room in our cabin was just

877
00:51:25.920 --> 00:51:28.320
just lit up, really really bright. We didn't have no

878
00:51:28.480 --> 00:51:31.239
light sourced all on that side of the cabin. The

879
00:51:31.320 --> 00:51:33.320
only other light we have them outside of a single

880
00:51:33.440 --> 00:51:36.039
light bulb in the front. But the whole room was

881
00:51:36.119 --> 00:51:39.440
just lit up, really really bright. I was frozen. I

882
00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:44.000
couldn't move, I couldn't scream, I couldn't do anything. And

883
00:51:44.119 --> 00:51:47.679
it was like a vortex like like my eyes, you know,

884
00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:50.800
I was like spinning around. And then the light when

885
00:51:50.840 --> 00:51:52.679
it finally went out, then I was just sitting there,

886
00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:55.599
just shaking. And so I don't know if I was

887
00:51:55.639 --> 00:52:00.440
abducted at that point or or or just visited or something.

888
00:52:00.760 --> 00:52:03.920
And my wife, you know, she's there by herself a

889
00:52:03.960 --> 00:52:06.320
lot of times when I'm gone, and she's seen the

890
00:52:06.440 --> 00:52:09.880
light too, but she just since she puts cover over

891
00:52:09.960 --> 00:52:12.960
her head and she doesn't this isn't want to think

892
00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:16.679
about it, Okay, I was actually frozen. I couldn't move.

893
00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:21.159
Of course, my wife, she's a medium or she sees

894
00:52:21.440 --> 00:52:23.800
dead people and stuff. So we're kind of used to

895
00:52:24.239 --> 00:52:28.320
odd stuff happening and seeing things. So, you know, we've

896
00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:30.559
been married forty years and she's been seeing dead people

897
00:52:30.599 --> 00:52:34.159
ever since I've known her. So and she's learning how

898
00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:36.639
to use her abilities a little more to also.

899
00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:39.599
So okay, so that makes sense how you would know

900
00:52:39.719 --> 00:52:41.320
the distillery is haunted done?

901
00:52:41.480 --> 00:52:44.679
You know, yes, yes, And we do ghost hunts there.

902
00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:47.880
We do a private label for the ghost hunt weekend.

903
00:52:47.960 --> 00:52:50.599
People that are on travel Channel on YouTube and the

904
00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:53.760
Raith Chasers you may see them on travel Channel. They've

905
00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:57.800
all been down there. And and so you know, we've

906
00:52:57.840 --> 00:53:03.920
done like three different hunts at different times there on

907
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:07.239
the weekends. And then we've had other mediums that come in,

908
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:09.599
people that are just you know, coming in, don't know

909
00:53:09.639 --> 00:53:12.800
anything about the distillery or the other ghost group or anything,

910
00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:15.159
and they'll see the same people that we know are

911
00:53:15.239 --> 00:53:18.679
there and they'll describe them and we say, yep, and

912
00:53:18.760 --> 00:53:21.440
we know who they are. And we have store cameras

913
00:53:21.480 --> 00:53:23.440
in there. We pick up stuff on our store cameras.

914
00:53:24.039 --> 00:53:27.360
The bottles get moved around, we hear our names. We

915
00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:32.719
are whistling. Sometimes it it'll sound like boxes falling over

916
00:53:33.000 --> 00:53:36.440
and there's nothing moved. The build them was built in

917
00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:39.480
eighteen ninety eight and there was a livery stable to

918
00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:42.639
begin with for the hotel across the street right down

919
00:53:42.760 --> 00:53:48.880
town and Gainsboro, Tennessee. And then later it became a

920
00:53:48.960 --> 00:53:54.559
car dealership before car dealership up until nineteen eighty. And

921
00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:59.079
so the person that ran the livery stable, the blacksmith,

922
00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:01.639
that's where they kept tell of horses and buggies for

923
00:54:01.719 --> 00:54:05.360
the guests at the hotel. He became the lead mechanic

924
00:54:05.519 --> 00:54:08.679
and worked there sixty two years at the distiller at

925
00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:11.880
the Ford Dealership, and so his family come in, was

926
00:54:11.960 --> 00:54:15.920
talking to us about that, and so at the next

927
00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:18.840
ghost hunt we were talking about him, saying he may

928
00:54:18.920 --> 00:54:20.840
still be around. So he spent so much time there

929
00:54:21.480 --> 00:54:24.239
and on one of the phone it said black Smith

930
00:54:24.440 --> 00:54:28.159
and then it said Vincent, which it was Vincent Ford

931
00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:30.880
when it closed in nineteen eighty, So that was the

932
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:35.039
affirmation that he was there. And one of the other

933
00:54:35.159 --> 00:54:38.719
people that's there is major Jim Quarrels that used to

934
00:54:38.840 --> 00:54:41.440
own the building and he was a car dealer or

935
00:54:41.480 --> 00:54:46.760
a car salesman also, and our cash registers right where

936
00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:49.800
his desks sat, we found out. And we have a

937
00:54:49.880 --> 00:54:52.159
lot of activity there as spirit balls go off al

938
00:54:52.199 --> 00:55:00.440
lot there. And there's another lady that's from the eighteen hundreds, Polly,

939
00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:02.800
she's known as and she managed a couple of the

940
00:55:02.840 --> 00:55:07.719
hotels there, real prominent woman in town and she's there

941
00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:11.719
a lot. We've communicated with her and people describe her,

942
00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:15.079
you know, at these different events or people that just

943
00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:18.639
come in, they see him, they see her. There's a

944
00:55:18.760 --> 00:55:20.800
child and know that we don't know who that is either,

945
00:55:21.519 --> 00:55:23.519
but some of the mediums have said that the child

946
00:55:23.719 --> 00:55:25.719
was jumping down off the raptors to the floor and

947
00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:27.960
the back up, back and forth, wanting to play with

948
00:55:28.039 --> 00:55:31.360
their child that was with them. So you know, it's

949
00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:32.320
pretty active.

950
00:55:32.039 --> 00:55:37.360
There and so you definitely have your hands full wherever

951
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:43.119
you go, which is pretty pretty incredible. But the whole

952
00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:49.559
area it's definitely wild with bigfoot activity. But I just

953
00:55:49.639 --> 00:55:53.159
want to say, you know, thank you for sharing a

954
00:55:53.239 --> 00:55:57.079
little bit about what you've been experiencing in this area

955
00:55:57.119 --> 00:55:59.960
of Tennessee. Ridge, thank you for coming on this show.

956
00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:05.400
Is there a way that that people can reach out

957
00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:10.039
to you in any way if they have maybe something

958
00:56:10.079 --> 00:56:13.199
they heard during this episode sounds like something they've got

959
00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:14.480
going on their property.

960
00:56:16.679 --> 00:56:18.760
Yeah, if they want to just make an email me

961
00:56:18.880 --> 00:56:22.800
on my personal email. I don't mind that. I don't

962
00:56:22.800 --> 00:56:25.119
want doing on my business email, but I'll give me

963
00:56:25.199 --> 00:56:28.000
my personal one out and I go by Ridge because

964
00:56:28.239 --> 00:56:29.599
I used to be a Ridge runner. I used to

965
00:56:29.639 --> 00:56:33.199
hauld illegal moonshine and now I'm a ridge walker, so

966
00:56:33.639 --> 00:56:37.280
walk in the mountains and stuff looking for big goods

967
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:39.199
and other things that are out there. So that's why

968
00:56:39.239 --> 00:56:43.920
I go about ridge. My email is s E h

969
00:56:44.039 --> 00:56:48.440
U N T the number one at Y'ALLHEO dot com.

970
00:56:50.760 --> 00:56:52.119
Great. Great, that's awesome.

971
00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:53.960
I can give out my phone number if they want to.

972
00:56:55.440 --> 00:56:55.719
I need.

973
00:56:56.400 --> 00:57:00.360
That's that's totally up to you. I might recommend just

974
00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:05.559
the email. Uh. Yeah, this podcast has reached and.

975
00:57:05.800 --> 00:57:08.159
I get so many car warty calls and all that

976
00:57:08.440 --> 00:57:10.760
stuff too, So a lot of times I don't answer

977
00:57:11.119 --> 00:57:13.800
numbers that are I don't know that I don't know

978
00:57:14.039 --> 00:57:18.440
so but yeah, but I'm just like I say, there's

979
00:57:18.440 --> 00:57:21.719
so much activity in the paranormal. I'm just learning more

980
00:57:21.719 --> 00:57:24.000
and more about all of it, and and you just

981
00:57:24.079 --> 00:57:28.000
have to be open to it, you know, to for

982
00:57:28.159 --> 00:57:30.960
it to happen. Really, I mean, that can be happening

983
00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:33.679
and you're not really seeing it, you're not feeling it

984
00:57:34.079 --> 00:57:36.840
because you're not open to it. Well, once you do

985
00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:41.400
open up to it, then you know the connection can

986
00:57:41.480 --> 00:57:46.000
be made. There. The one thing I was I was

987
00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:49.719
going to talk about interdimensional that I always tell people is, yeah,

988
00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:51.199
I stay in hotels a lot. I want to work

989
00:57:51.239 --> 00:57:54.639
out of town. So you can have you know, say

990
00:57:54.679 --> 00:57:58.639
a four story hotel there, and then the same footprint

991
00:57:58.719 --> 00:58:02.159
of that four story hotel or that room you've got

992
00:58:02.280 --> 00:58:05.199
different just like different dimensions. You're on different floors, different

993
00:58:05.239 --> 00:58:08.159
things going on, but you're still covering that same footprint.

994
00:58:08.920 --> 00:58:13.639
And I think, uh, like ghosts or in their own dimension,

995
00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:17.719
like like major chorals could still be in our building

996
00:58:18.000 --> 00:58:22.000
selling cars in his own dimension and and and then

997
00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:24.679
sometimes they just overlap. That's why we hear them, they

998
00:58:24.800 --> 00:58:29.440
hear us. You know, the Big Fist could be interdimensional

999
00:58:29.519 --> 00:58:33.000
and move in and out of dimensions, and they can

1000
00:58:33.079 --> 00:58:35.280
be in a you know, a person only sees from

1001
00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:38.840
one range on the high side and down to the

1002
00:58:38.920 --> 00:58:41.280
low side, where dogs and cats see a lot more

1003
00:58:41.320 --> 00:58:44.719
than we do and hear more and they It could

1004
00:58:44.719 --> 00:58:47.360
be that some of these creatures are just on that

1005
00:58:47.599 --> 00:58:50.880
verge of of the world we can actually see, and

1006
00:58:51.679 --> 00:58:55.559
they can go in and out really easily, because you know,

1007
00:58:55.599 --> 00:58:58.000
there could be something right beside us, and if we're

1008
00:58:58.039 --> 00:59:00.880
not able to perceive it, we don't see it. But

1009
00:59:01.000 --> 00:59:03.559
it doesn't mean it's not there. It's just that we

1010
00:59:03.599 --> 00:59:05.239
don't have the ability to see it. There's like a

1011
00:59:05.360 --> 00:59:08.159
thermal camera. You know, you can look with your naked

1012
00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:09.800
eye and not seeing anything. You look at a thermal

1013
00:59:09.840 --> 00:59:14.320
camera and that it shows something there. You know, just

1014
00:59:14.360 --> 00:59:16.199
because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there.

1015
00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:18.639
M that's extremely interesting.

1016
00:59:18.800 --> 00:59:19.000
Wow.

1017
00:59:19.559 --> 00:59:24.960
Uh wild wild stuff. Ridge, Uh, thank you, thank you.

1018
00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:27.760
I definitely We're definitely gonna have to keep in touch

1019
00:59:29.079 --> 00:59:31.639
you just it it feels like you're you're starting to

1020
00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:34.800
get into some some wild bigfoot stuff down there, and

1021
00:59:34.840 --> 00:59:37.559
you're in the area where you have access to a

1022
00:59:37.639 --> 00:59:38.599
lot of really cool stuff.

1023
00:59:38.760 --> 00:59:41.000
The guy, the guy up here in North Carolina that

1024
00:59:41.039 --> 00:59:43.199
I went to bigfoot hunting with, he's a big foot

1025
00:59:43.239 --> 00:59:47.960
expert down here. He mentioned in Tennessee. I said, well,

1026
00:59:47.960 --> 00:59:50.119
that's where I live. He said, really said, I've been

1027
00:59:50.159 --> 00:59:54.679
down there six times doing hunts down there. So yeah,

1028
00:59:54.920 --> 00:59:56.119
if you want to come down and do a hunt

1029
00:59:56.199 --> 00:59:58.280
or something sometime, and you know, like I say, I'm

1030
00:59:58.320 --> 01:00:02.039
right there, so absolutely absolutely. Well.

1031
01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:05.360
I got it a few things to talk to you afterwards,

1032
01:00:05.400 --> 01:00:07.280
but I just wanted to say thank you for coming

1033
01:00:07.360 --> 01:00:07.880
on the show.

1034
01:00:08.559 --> 01:00:10.199
Ridge. It has been a pleasure.

1035
01:00:11.519 --> 01:00:13.280
Yeah, well, thank you for the invite.

1036
01:00:15.159 --> 01:00:16.599
Just wanted to take a minute to say thank you

1037
01:00:16.719 --> 01:00:19.480
for listening to this episode or the Bigfoot Society podcast.

1038
01:00:19.679 --> 01:00:22.440
Ridge's story is a powerful reminder of how one encounter

1039
01:00:22.599 --> 01:00:26.519
can shift your entire perspective. From his close encounter in

1040
01:00:26.559 --> 01:00:29.639
Georgia to his ongoing research in the mysterious mountains of Tennessee,

1041
01:00:30.199 --> 01:00:32.920
Ridge is uncovering more than just bigfoot sightings. He's peeling

1042
01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:36.199
back the layers of something much bigger. If you enjoyed
