I've taken far too much of your time so far, so let's get on with the show. Three two one, all right, Big Forciety got the privilege of talking to Al Santa Riga today.

0:53 Some people might know him, well, actually, most people might know him as the Squatch Father. How's it going today, Al? It's going good. Jeremia, how you doing? I'm doing great, man. I'm excited to talk to you. We've been trying to make this happen for a while and we finally were able to get yon. You reached out and said, hey, I got some time, so let's make it happen. You are out from the great State of New York, and you've been involved with quite a few things out there. For example, you're the founder director of the New York State UFO Project, the New York State Sasquatch Organization, the New York State dog Man Project, and also the director of the North American dog Man Project New York State Chapter and also member of MOUF on many different things, any other things that you want to make sure that you know.

1:42 Absolutely, the Broxville Para normal Society is the mother, the mothership of all of these things when it all started from there and then branched off into different little genres. Absolutely. You know, I'd love to know right off the bat, what's the story of the name the Squatch Father. That sounds like it could be pretty interesting. Oh. I was doing a show for Chris Ranhardt from the Discovered Sasquatch from Connecticut, and you know, my heavy Bronx accent and being Italian, you know what I mean. So he came up with the Squatch Father and it kind of just stuck from there. That's awesome.

2:29 Are you from a certain part in New York that you'd be okay Sharon for context. Yeah, sure, Yeah, I grew up in Yonkers, New York, and you know, spent a lot of time Yonkers is like an extension of the Bronx, since I spent a lot of time in the Bronx as well, you know, growing up. So yeah, So I mean, like people, a lot of people can't understand me because of my New York accent, you know what I mean. They have a lot of trouble will understand what I'm saying sometimes, so they'll get They'll they'll say, is that a Brooklyn accent? If they know that's a Bronx act. Absolutely. I grew up in uh in Western mass Massachusetts, so I've heard.

3:14 I heard the New York accent a few times, so I get it. It's it's a good sound. I like it. I am. I'm curious to know. I always like to hear. What was it that first got you into into Bigfoot in the beginning? Well, I mean that's easy. My my brother was is a parapsychologist, and he always had books in the house that on all kinds of things, you know, all aspects of the power normal. He used to work with Han Holtzer's right hand man and their psychic. I think her name was Ethel and uh so, you know, my mother was a psychic, My aunt was a white witch. I had a cousin who was a black witch, you know what I mean. And so the paranormal in my family was just normal, and one thing led to another. I remember, man, it must have been ten years old.

4:19 With all of my cousins, we all lived in the same neighborhood. It was. It was like a dozen of us. We went to the movies one Saturday at seeing James Bombs and have something like that. And at the end of the movie they had the Patty film, Patty Giblin film, and I remember turning into my cousin Dino and saying, man, that thing that's real. That's no hoax, that's the real deal, you know. And you know, of course on my cousins, you know, you know, broke my chops over and stuff, you know, but I just had a gut feeling from the moment I've seen that video that that was the real deal. And then you know, every Friday, we used to have to take books out of the library to read over the weekend in school, so I was always that kid with the the you know, the nth Lockness Monster, a bonnable snowman. You know, I was at you to have picked up all those books, the UFO books, the ghost books. That was me, you know, that's how we got started. I love that big Foot.

5:25 That's so good. Just being able to see that footage in the theater, that must have been incredible. What a privilege to be able to see that at that point in time when they were showing that in the theater. Yeah, I mean on that big screen. It was great. And then you know that I was about ten at that time. Two years later, I had my first Bigfoot experience down in South Florida. That was just insane. And uh you know after that, I wasn't a believer. I was a knower and the rest is history, you know. Yes, so that's interesting to see. You had a you feel you had a skunk cape sighting down in South Florida. You said, oh, yeah, absolutely, I had. I had a major sighting now Florida, South Florida. Absolutely.

6:13 I mean, not only was the creature walked right by our house, I mean literally right along the side of our house, but it attacked a wild horse in our development and it ripped the head off a Brahma bowl too, you know what I mean. It's it's a crazy story. And we the night it ripped the head off of the Brahma Bowl, my brother in law and sister would just get home from a night out in Miami and me and my cousin Anthony were babysitting the kids and we heard some like horrific scream. We didn't know what it was, and then we heard a shotgun go off and we jumped at my brothernmost card and go see what was going on.

6:56 Long story short, we got caught up behind a depth the sheriff doing a patrol and everybody was looking to the left because that's where he had a spot, like because that's what the swamp was. And the creature ran out from the right and he hit it with his car. And when he hit it, I mean my brother. When the creature got back up and walked, it limped over to this police car and it punched this police car with like a hammer punch with both hands. In the back of the car came off the ground and my cousin Anthony was sitting in the front seat and I was in the back, but I was hanging out of my brother in law's sunroof. So it was like it was right there, you know, a car lenked away from me, screaming, and the screen just goes right through you.

7:41 I mean, every every fiber in your body of vibrates and it's just it's just unreal. I mean, I tell people all the time, be careful what you wish for, because the first time you see this creature up close and personal, your brain will not be able to comprehend what your eyes are seeing. And that's just like a little tidbit of the experiences. So much winter goes on with it. But you know, I don't know where you want to go tonight, so we'll just keep going. That's very interesting. So man, it almost makes me wonder, did you ever see if you could get like a released report about that night. I wonder if they had to write anything about, you know, a skunk gape punching out out their car window or anything like that. Well, you know, it was it was crazy because that particular summer nineteen seventy four, down to South Florida, there was a there was a drought and there were fires in the Everglades, and my sister lived right on the edge of the Everglades and the development called Sunshine Acres, and all the creatures were coming inland, all the animals were coming inland, and there was a lot of stunt gape reports in our area from the share local shareffs and Stay police and stuff like that and County police, and then it started happening in our development. And when that particular

9:13 incident happened, we thought for sure that the next day they would be all kinds of news reporters at our house because we were the only witnesses to it. Because the sheriff was actually coming around the far end of the development. It was like a big square, two miles square, And when he came down and he's seen the car totled, he was like, you know what happened, and he was taking our report. He took the deputy reporters and wanted to shoot it back. Then they carried the shotgun in between the two seats up front, and the deputy just of the shotgun wasn't big enough, you know. I always say the creature was about nine feet tall, maybe nine hundred pounds. I'm probably being light on his weight, but he was.

9:54 He was a big boy. He was definitely a big boy. And and I always you know, when we found out that it had ripped the head off of the Brahma bowl, I couldn't believe it because I had seen that Brahma bull up close in personal, and that Brahma bowl was like the size of a mini man if he was twenty five hundred pounds. He was announced, you know, and I couldn't just I just couldn't believe this strength that this creature had. And so we thought we would give all these people come to our house. Because that night that the sheriff called in the state police, accounting police. They came in with helicopters. They came in with horses, they came in with dogs. Nineteen seventy four, in South Florida town we were in, it was called Davy, was still a cowboy town.

10:41 The biggest thing that happened in that town was the rodeo on the Float of July. Every pickup truck had three rifles in the window, you know what I mean. And they couldn't find anything. And we thought for sure we were going to be interviewed, you know, but no one ever showed up at our house. And I gave that report to the guy who ran the skunk Gate Museum in Florida, and a woman from the Vfarrow Her name was re Re Magolith or something like that. She was the director for Florida. She had read it and she reached out to me and she did she put together that's comprehensive sightings. You know, it's on the BFR site US websites called the South Florida skunk Gate something or another. But she actually got areas shots of sunshine acres that the development, and she showed where like the course rancher lived, where the cattle rancher lived, and all of this stuff.

11:39 And then she at the end of my I think a woman named Sevilla Arn. She's an artist. Yep, she did an artist sketch rendering of what I seen. She put that in the she put that in the report, and then she put like thirty other articles in the newspaper all that happened around that time in there. And then she went on to tell me she was like the same age I was, and her father she lived in the next town over and her father had a business in Davy, and she wanted to tell me that her uncle was a police officer in the next town south of US a new city, I think it was called or something like that, and he had he had two books, the official report and the unofficial Report, and they that particular time, they were getting a lot of calls for Peep and Tom's and when they would get out there and you know, try to sneak up on the peep of Tomp, it was a skunk gate when they hit him with the fleshlight and the skunk gate would jump into the swamp and swim away, you know. And so they had an official report and an unofficial report, and she was going to get her uncle's unofficial book on all the all the sightings that happened then, and she was going to put out a book at some point. I don't know if she ever did, but she she she did an amazing job on my experience. She wrote it up on the bfr A website and yeah, it's just crazy. I mean, she puts so much work into it. I was blown away by what she did. You know, it's just really above and beyond the call

13:11 of duty. That sounds absolutely excuse me, that sounds absolutely incredible. I'll definitely have that in the show notes because I'm seeing the link already. Okay Man this is such a wild story going back to the Brahma bull. So was that a thing where the act of like someone saw the skunk gape actually ripped the head off, or was a thing where the creature was found and there is enough evidence where it's like, okay, this is what must have happened. Well, now what happened? Was it was? It was? It was two o'clock in the morning. It was pitch black out, okay, and the farmer the cattle ranch, she didn't have any lights in his pasture. And my brother lawnces what we're getting out of the car and we were we were he my Bubble had asked because if there was any action, and we said no, And then we heard this blood curdling scream or cry, and we didn't No one knew what it was. It was definitely not the skunk give. We've heard the skunk give at this point, go off, you know in the swamp. This was not the sun. No one knew what it was. But then right after that we seen the the shotgun blast coming from the cattle ranchers farm, so we knew something had happened there, you know. And when we got there, when we actually eventually we followed the sheriff to the cattle ranchers farm because he said to the sheriff, you got to come see what this damn creature did to my prize bull.

14:39 When we went back there and the sheriff was panning the pasture with his spotlight, the bull was just bleeding out with no head. The head was a hundred yards away the other side of the pasture, you know, and you can see, like the I there was there was definitely footprints of the creature with the well was dead, you know what I mean. So that's how we just assumed we'll be back with more big Foot society after these words from our sponsors. I mean, I don't know if the cattle ranch has seen him do it, or if he just heard the scream and he came out blessing, you know what I mean. Because on our little development we had a lot of action. Like in the beginning of the story, experienced a friend of ours who his father owned a horse ranch down the street and we take tours out in the other glades. You know. He had this wild mustang or whatever it was from a wyoming on Montana. He had a Native American seminole trying to break this horse so he could put you put it in the corral. He couldn't put it in the stalls because if he did, it would kick it made all the other horses nut. So he left it in the corral one night, and one night we were sitting again. It was late twelve thirty one clock because my brother in law had just come home from this restaurant. He had an Italian restaurant and he used to bring us like burnt pizzas. At the end of the night, we witched it up and eat burnt pizzas, and we heard a blessing coming from the Horse Ranches

16:14 farm. And when we went into the front of the house, we could see like a muzzle flash of a thirty thirty going off. Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb. So we jumped on our dirt bikes and rode over to the house to see where it was, because, you know, even it was still, you know, maybe eight blocks away from us. Even though it was it was everything is flat, so everything looks close. So we rode over there, and we were over there and he told us what happened. That the skunk gepe had snuck up on the wild mustang in the corral and the horse must have kicked out or something and jumped the crown ran into the pasture. Well, the following day when we went over, the sheriff was there, everybody was there, and the whole neighborhood basically was there.

16:56 And the Native American Seminole Indian went rode out to the pasture to get a horse, and when he brought it back, the horse had handprints in its hind quarters. Now claw marks, handprints, like if I was to gribbed you by your wrist and squeeze as hard as I could leave that indentation, That's what this horse had on its hind quarters. And that's why, you know, the seminal Indian thought that the horse may have kicked out when he got grabbed, and that's what he jumped to corral and ran into the pasture. And like I said, my friend's father he heard all the commotion. He came out blasting. So there was a lot of action going on in our on our little development. We were surrounded by swamps. There was a one lane bridge in and out of the development. It was it was, you know, pretty rural at the time. That's incredible in Man, when you were twelve years old, so wild to have experienced that at such a young age. From you know, you're able to see the creature a bit.

17:56 It sounds like something I asked people is when you see the creature in some way, did you feel like you were looking more at something that was more human or maybe something that's more ape or something completely in the middle. Well, the very very first time that I laid eyes on the creature, my cousin and I were just going to bed, and my sister had a big picture window in her sun room. It was like eight by four and we had the pullout couch. We were going to bed again. It was the wee hours. The house was surrounded in three sides by a six foot fence, but the front was opened with a circle of driveway would have fountained in the middle, and there were sense of lights on all the corners and we were laying in bed and the very first time we went by, we smelled a horrible smell, and my sister had two large German shepherd canine shepherds, and they went crazy and we had to put him in a garage.

18:56 And then they told us it was the skunk Gape, and we didn't leaver. We thought they would you bust up our chops until we talked to our friends in the neighborhood who told us, yeah, you know, when it's hot like this, it comes around. And then a couple of days later, a couple of weeks later, it came with walking through our front yard and the censor lights went on, and as it was walking, we've seen his huge shadow go across the wall in front of us, you know. And so I got out of the bed and I did like a belly crawl to the window and I pulled open the shade to see what was out there, and I seen what looked like King Kong to me standing in the driveway. It had red eyes. I don't know if it was from the Sensi lights, you know, eyeshine from the Censi lights, but it had red eyes, it had knines, and I guess it had seen its reflection in the big picture window. And it did this like incredible hulk kind of flexing screen like almost like he was challenging another another gun gape. And when it was screaming, I thought it had seen me peeking out of the corner of the window and it was screaming at me, you know. But hindsight, being twenty twenty was probably a reflection on the window had seen and when it walked along the side of the house. We had an empty lot by our side of our house that had wild watermelons in it. And as it was walking past the side of the house, my cousin and I ran into the one of the bathrooms in between the kid's rooms. We left the lights off

20:27 and we were watching it because as it walked past that corner, the sense of the lights went on and we were watching it, and it was looking at us like it could see us in the dark. The windows were tinted, the screens were black. We left the light off in the bathroom and it never took its eyes off. It's like it was watching us. And at one point it stopped, reached down, grabbed the wild watermelon, took a giant bite. There was left nothing but two nubs. Dropped the nubs walked to the back of the house. We ran to the back of the house because the miss had a screened and patio. We went into the screen and patio again. We left the lights off. As it walked past the back of the house, the sentence of lights went on again again. The whole time, it's half that's top of its body tilted back looking at us.

21:15 Behind our house, there was a man who had a man made lake. At that man made lake, it squatted down and it cupped his hand and it drank the water out of the lake. And then it got up and it walked into the swamp where we used to go horseback ride and rude our dirt bikes and have bonfires and stuff like that. And then it just started screaming once they got into the swamp, you know. And well, like I said, that first time I seen it, I was behind that plate of glass that was like an eighth of an inch thick or whatever out thick it was, and it was a baby got it would say, no more than twenty five thirty feet away from me, and it looked like it looked like to me, it looked like King Kong. It was huge, it was. And the way I got its height was because it was head and shoulders above that fence. And I know that fence was six feet twell to keep the dogs in, so it had to be between you know, nine and eight nine feet twelve. I would stay closer to nine feet twelve, and I used a rough estimate one hundred pounds per foot, so at nine feet twelve it had to be a minimum of nine hundred pounds made probably closer to fifteen I don't know. But it left eighteen inch tracks along the side of the house in the sands, and we were got My brother in law said he was going to come home from work and at lunchtime and he was going to cast him, and he was gonna put one on the bar in the house and one at the bar at the restaurant, you know, But the restaurant got busy. He never came home. The horse tours went

22:48 by and they always rode right by our house along that empty lot, and they destroyed the tracks. So we never did get a chance to cast them. But I've seen him up clothes from personal, and like I said, when you see these creatures up close and personal, your brain cannot comprehend what your eyes are saying. And they just can't. That's absolutely incredible. What after that point was it you know all bets are off? Or was there a time in your life where you're like, you know, this bigfoot thing is cool, I'm going to get away from it for a little bit, or where you're like I got to figure out what's going on from here on out in your game on no. After we got back from Florida that summer, because that was our like my cousin Anthony. My cousin Anthony was closer to me, like my brother. He was fifteen, I was twelve, and that was our summer vacation, and we said that was our summer camp.

23:44 It would send us down there, and my brother loved being the next marine guy. He always had chores for us to do in the morning because in the afternoon it would get you hot, and then we would just go swimming in the pool or the man made lake, or ride our dirt bikes or whatever. But you know, when I came back from Florida that year, I had like PTSD for like three years. You know, I couldn't sleep in my room at night. I would sleep as far My father was a carpenter, and what he did was he turned a front porch into a bedroom. So the bedroom was maybe ten feet long and six feet wide, and I had any only window he had at his corpenter shop was like a front window for like you know, a house. He had a big picture window in the front with two little windos on the side. So I always used to think that that thing was gonna reach in because its arms were so long, you know, And I used to think it was gonna come to New York, reach in that glass window and pulled me out and take me away. And for three years it was. It was a rough three years at night, you know. Then you know, at that past and then you know, we got into girls and cars and stuff like that, motorcycles, and I kind of forgot about out it for a long time. And then I started hanging out with a bunch of guys at work when I started working at the post office, and we started going out doing paranormal investigations, you know, and one thing led to another, and you know, we

25:17 always believed the guys I put together after my brother said to me at one point, you know, it's great that you go out with your friends and the post office, and but you should put a real team together. And I was a member of a group called the New York the round Table, the UFL round Table in Yonkers, and so I got all the guys from the round Table that we're interested in it, and I put a team together and called it the Bronxville Paranormal Society because originally everybody that was on the team either worked with me at the post office in Bronxville or lived in Bronxville, so that was our name. But then we but we all believed that everything was connected. You know, we believe that it was all connected. Ghosts, UFOs, bigfoots, all of that stuff. We all had the same mindset and that's how that led us out going out and finding, you know, these locations here in New York that are squatchy, and then researching those locations and having activity. And you know, I got five different locations, I work in three different counties, and I got one site called the Sacred Site that's never failed me. Whenever I've gone there, I've always had experiences and stuff is really really getting crazy now because I've started getting telepathic communications with them now. I had an ascension two years ago and I guess it raised

26:48 my vibration and frequency, and so I'm having I'm having these telepaths. But it's not just me having the telepath commission. It's Chris ryan Hart Connecticut from Discover Sasquatch, and it's my psychic down in Arkansas. All we're all seeing the same sasquatch. We're all interacting with the same sasquatch in three different states, you know, hundreds of miles apart, and it's just getting crazy. Now. Can you describe the sasquatch that you're all seeing in your when you when you see that. Yeah, he actually came to me. When he came to me in a dream state. He told me his name was Alare capital Ali capitol ri e k and he was a shaman. He was a king shaman, that's what he told me. And he was a healer, and he was the eldest statesman of my plan that I'm dealing with at the Sacred Site. And he showed himself to me two or three years earlier.

27:56 I had seen a white sasquatch on the park, but I was told I wasn't ready at that time when we locked eyes, you know, and he's massive, it's just absolutely ten twelve feet tall, two thousand pounds. He's a beast. He demands respect. When I had when I was when I was in his presence, I felt like I was in the presence of royalty. My psychic and Arkansas I've been using forever and she's never been blocked by anything. He's gone to her and told her that she's not going to be able to foresee anything at the sacred site when we go to do our investigations, because it's just for me and Chris. And Chris was actually in deep meditation one day and he's seen a white sasquatch looking at him through the woods and it shook him, and it knocked him out of his meditation. When I asked him what shook he wasn't being truthful to me. He said, he goes, oh, it's just good it was white. But I had a feeling he wasn't telling me everything, you know. And when I talked to my psychic in Arkansas, who does not know Chris from doesn't even know who Chris exists, she needed decide the sasquatch told her that she needed to start mentoring Chris psychically. So now she's mentoring Chris to develop this psy Because

29:30 Chris was just like a flush and blood guy. He didn't do anything paranormal wise, but he had an experience down in a green swamp and he brought something dark home with him and I had a call from people I knew on the paranormal side to cleanse his house and seal it, you know. So this sasquatch told her she needed to start mentioning mentoring Chris. And when she called me up and she's like, who's Chris Reinhardt And I'm why am I supposed to mentor him? And I'm like, how do you know Chris? You know? And she said, this giant white sasquatch came to me and told me that he was a you know, a king shaman and YadA YadA, YadA an eq startment. We'll be back with more Bigfoot society after these words from our sponsors. And I was like, okay. And he told her that, you know, don't try to foresee what's going to happen at the sacred site because he's going to block her and she won't be able to see. And we did go out recently and she was blocked. She couldn't see anything, you know. She's like, he's got me blocked. I can't see nothing, you know, because she usually well, well, we'll look in at the situation and to do like a remote view kind of thing, you know, and see what's going to happen, maybe ahead of time.

30:51 But she couldn't see anything. It was very crazy. Just absolutely crazy. And then I had an another experience with a difference ask which a female who told me her name was high En nets Capital h y and h h y hia h y capital and et h high enet h y a h high end net Ka Capital h y a d n eth and she told me that she was excited that I was going back to the Sacred Side after two years because I was researching at other locations and she was excited and her clan was excited because she's the alpha male to me Chris Reinhardt, because they heard wonderful things about them. And I was like freaking out, was like, what is what is this real? Like does this dream real? And I called not only my psychic but other people I know who are connected to these creatures are people I should call them, uh psychically and a both of everyone has told me, yet this is really happening. This is really going on, And you know, you guys are going to have some amazing experiences when you go out because Chris is coming down here. I'm going up to his location in the Berkshire Mountains that's where he researches, and you know, and apparently this Alirek is going to come down and introduce himself to us and tell us

32:25 what we're supposed to be doing or what he wants us to do. And it's just absolutely insane. Like when my psychic told me that she had the same vision to Chris, and then I asked her, I said, was there anything strange about him? And she said, the only really strange thing about him is that he's got these fire ball red eyes. She goes, but don't be scared, because he's not scary, it's just who he is. And the one I've seen on the parkway had the same fireball red eyes. So then when I spoke to Chris one and I said, what was it about that thing that freaked you out? What was like, you know, just you know, was there something strange about him? And he goes no, And he goes, was there something strange about the one you've seen?

33:09 And I said, yes, the one I've seen had these fireball red eyes. And then Chris was like, Okay, I gotta come clean. Yeah, the one I've seen had fireball red eyes. That's what knocked me out of my meditation. So we're all seeing the same guy, you know what I mean. And it's just it's just crazy that like his sass watchers are communicating with my sask watches, telling him because he's had psychic even though he doesn't believe in the psychic ability, like he doesn't not that he doesn't believe it, he questions all of his experiences, you know, because he's always been a flesh and blood kind of guy. And I told him, I said, Christ, the longer you do this, the stranger it's going to get. And you're not going to be that flesh and blood guy for long because things are going to get weird, and things really gotten. He started having telepathic communications way before I did, you know. And apparently Alarek is connected to me, him and my psychic in Arkansas. So it's absolutely insane. It's going on up here that is extremely intense and just a huge group of synchronicities for sure between you know, Alirek and high Ens and that that's wild. And I wanted to ask you, you know, about the New York State Sasquatch organization. I'm sure most listeners are aware how large a state in New York is and I was just curious, how are you, you know, narrowing down what area to go to for your research areas.

34:45 Is there a you know, certain location that you try to focus on or anything like that. Well, I'm at the southern tier of the Catskill Mountain Range, and the Catskill Mountain Range by itself is like five hundred acres, okay, and then you have the at Airon Ducts about three hours two and a half hours north to me, which are like six million acres. But what the way I do it is I get pulled. I get pulled to locations like something will say you gotta go here, you gotta go here, Like I'm just being pulled there. And then when I go there, and I really don't know what I'm looking for, but I'm looking, you know.

35:30 And then I start to see all kinds of sign arches and necks and bends and brakes and twists and the little rock carrings that they make, you know, those carrings that they build. I start seeing signs. And once I start seeing signs and I know I'm a I'm in a good location, then I'll go back and I'll start doing what we do. We have a couple of different things we do to try to make con tack with them or to bring them in. You know what I mean. So we we play. We play with Tibetan singing bowls frequencies, you know, we we try to bring them in that way Native American drum music or flute music will bring them in. I like to go when I ever I go out to do an investigation. I always go day night, and I always go old school, new school, so, you know, I know a lot of guys just are all high tech stuff. Sometimes does high tech stuff. The batteries die, they don't work, and you need that old school stuff to really bring everything together, you know. And so I go out day night.

36:43 I know a lot of investigators or researchers that only go out during the day, and I tell them, you're only getting about ten percent of the activity you could be getting because these fast mutched people are nocturnal. They hunt at night, they move at night, and you could get so much more. But I understand it's scary to be four miles in the woods, deep in the woods, not being able to run out if you had to because you're off trail, and you know, they fit people afraid. They're just afraid to be out there and being and vulnerable like that. But I don't go out with any subconscious fear in my head, and my psychic reads everybody who comes out with me, and if there's anybody on the group that's coming out with me and they have subconscious fear, they stay behind. They're not allowed to come. And so I never go out. I'm never afraid when I go out. I'm always looking for not that I know what to expect.

37:44 I mean, look, even if my psychic tell through what I'm gonna expect, sometimes the stuff she says it is so off the charts, you know, I gotta laugh at her. And she's the real deal, you know what I mean. Being from New York, I didn't believe in psychics for years until I met this woman's Native Americans. She's fifth generation's. I tested her. She caught me every time I tested her. She's done stuff that absolutely blows my mind. Chris is dealing with her now, and Chris calls me every day like, you're not gonna believe what Cindy said. Now, I can't believe. How does she know this? Actually she just does, man, I told you, she just does, you know. And so I don't bring anybody out with me who has any subconscious fear, because I don't want anything because and I tell people all the time, especially squatchers, guys will go in the woods, protect yourself not only physically but spiritually, because there is so much stuff in the woods that you don't know what you're going to run across. So you have to protect yourself spiritually. That was the problem with Chris when he went to the Green Swamp in Florida. He protected himself physically, but he wasn't thinking, you know, paranormal. Why spiritually any something dark attached to him? And he brought it home to Connecticut, you know, and thank god I had friends who lived not too far from him who were able to take care of it, you know. But you have to protect yourself spiritually. Now, listen, Halloween is coming.

39:15 They're going to have all those haunted attractions and semitary tours. Protect yourself before you go into those attractions. Those attractions are attracting dark energy. Those I can't tell you how many people I know that have done a semitterary tour and had something come back and dark attached to them. Protect yourself spiritually before you go on those tours, before you go in those haunted houses, before you go in those hay rides, protect yourself spiritually, and if you're going out squatching, protect yourselves spiritually and physically. I don't allow anybody to carry firearms when I go out because I don't trust anybody would have gunned but me.

39:57 And if I'm not cameraing one, you're not avery one. But we do go out with eighteen inch machetes and ten inch survival knives and pepper spray and stuff like that. You know, I've never I've been bluff charged, but not by a sass watched by a dog man, but that's a different story. But I've never had anything bad happened to me at any of my locations. And I've been going to the Sacred Site for ever and I've never had anything bad happened to me there, you know. So I'm very confident when I'm at my locations and I'm dealing with my group of my clan that I'm I'm okay, you know what I mean. I don't have to worry about anything messiliny at that point. That is, you know, absolutely true.

40:47 You know, when you get involved with certain things, you want to be aware of what you are getting into and how it can affect you, but also your home your family, and you have to be very careful about how you position yourself with certain things. I had a weird question come into my mind, and it may not hit or anything, but have you ever gone to look at do you know? Cat Skilled game Farm? Absolutely been there a million times. Anything weird going on? I know it's an abandoned property now, right, yeah, but they've they've they've redone it up, They've fixed it up to be like Airbnb. Okay, yeah, So I will tell you an experience we had at the cast Skill game Farm. When my children were young, we took them up there. We were up at the Catskills. There's a water park up there we used to go to, and the game farm wasn't far from the water park. We were walking into the park one day and the lines, the lines cage or the Lion's facility was got It had to be a quarter mile away, and it was down in a like a ditch, like a gully, right, and there was one line that was just going off. You the growls and the what this line was doing. Every other animal in the game farm was losing its mind.

42:22 They were freaking out. It was so scary that as we were walking towards it because I'm me. I want to see the lion doing this, right, I'm all excited, like, oh my god, this is crazy. You know. It's so deep and it's so powerful, and we're so far away, but yet you can feel its energy like go through you, you know. And this thing is down in a gully like fifty feet below us, and it's coming up and going out. We got about one hundred yards away from fifty yards away, and my wife and kids refused to go any further, you know, but I went right down to it to see and this lyon and I'm thinking, it is this lion that's maybe you know, five hundred pounds doing this, and it's got every animal in the game farm going nuts. And the vibe, the infrasound that was going through me vibrating my body was terrifying, just terrifying, and I knew what it was and I could see it doing it, and it was still you know, I was well protected, as no way he could have jumped up at of that ditch to get me. So you can't imagine when a sasquatch goes off in the middle of the woods and you're there to feel it. I can't emphasize enough that power they have that goes right through you. It's like getting hit with a shock wave from a bomb, you know what I mean. It's

43:52 unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. But I haven't heard anything like haunted at the cast Bill game Farm, you know, I haven't heard anything like that. There are other locations up there, like some old band in wild West villages that were like back in the sixties and stuff seventies, or like wild West attractions that I heard aren't abandoned, But I haven't heard anything about the game farm itself. That's that's such an interesting story with that that lion just this that very cool anecdotal story. Here at Bigfoot Society.
