Forward slash the Big for Society and now let's get on with the show. All right, Big for Society. We've got the privilege of talking to Dean tonight. He's a listener and also reached out to me about some things he's experienced down there in southern Washington State. And thank you for coming on the show today.

0:52 Dean. How's it going. I'm very well. How are you? Thank you? I'm doing good, able to talk a big Foot on a nice, rainy Iowa night, So I'm excited to be here. But Dean, is there anything about you that listeners would need to know before we get started. Not that I can think of. I spent a lot of time out in the mountains, out in the woods, and I have always enjoyed being out in the wild and whatnot. And yeah, so I've had my share of experiences. Dean. I'm going to have you go ahead and take us back to where we need to be. Let us know that the area we're looking at today, and I'll let you take it from here, Okay.

1:36 Yeah. Back in nineteen eighty two, nineteen eighty three, I was about maybe five six years old and lived out in Battleground, Washington, that's southwest Washington, and we were back then Battleground, Washington was like a very small town, not very big at all, and we lived on the outskirts of that, out in the woods, and we were renting some property from a guy that my dad knew, and we were basically me and five or six other kids were out there in the woods on the edge of the property playing and I had seen somebody or something walk up behind a tree and was watching us, and I myself, I've always been a protective person. I've always watched out for people around me and whatnot. And so I gathered up the other kids that I was playing with and I said, hey, there's somebody I heard.

2:35 We got to go back, go back home. I ended up getting my dad and the guy that we were renting the property from. They brought a couple couple of guns out with them, and I remember when they were walking up to where I had seen that thing and just seeing the size of them compared to what I was seeing of that thing. And it's shoulders were broader than the tree. And this was a good sized tree. I remember it like it was yesterday, and this was a good sized tree. And I seen both of his shoulders protruding out from both sides of the tree. And yeah, and I remember my dad and that guy walking out there and just thinking that thing was a lot bigger than that guy. I didn't know it at the time, but you think, and that guy was a lot bigger than you guys. What are you guys going to do? And they I remember when it would lift its arms, it had to me it looked hairy, like it had hair just hanging down from its arms. As I got older, we lived next to a military training camp for a little while, and as I.

3:40 Got a little bit older. I thought what I had seen at that point, what I thought i'd seen was a really big guy in a gilly suit. I didn't even know what a gilly suit was until I had lived across from that military training camp. And I've always remembered this incident like it was yesterday, and maybe about four years ago, five years. Ago, I was listening to I don't know if it was. Your show or another bigfoot podcast that I was listening to. I was listening to this guy speak and in fact, David Pilate's I don't know if you know about Missing. Four one one I was listening to.

4:21 It might have been him, but they were talking about Bigfoot, and I never really considered or thought of it being Bigfoot. That they the person that was talking on the show, their experience sounded an awful lot like mine. And so that was where or when I started thinking, was that what I seen? Did I have my own? Did I have my own encounter or something like that. And as they were saying that these things or whatever they are that they like to watch, kids are fascinated or I don't know, I don't know too much about the fun I'm gonna but yeah, ever since I heard that show, I've been this last four or five years, I've gotten a bit more interested in wanting to know what's author and what's up, because I've spent a lot of time in the woods and I've heard got awful I don't know if you want to call them screams or roars or whatever.

5:19 I know that ain't a bear. I know that's not a cougar, and I just I've always wanted to find out, you know what, you know these things are that I've heard, or that one thing that I seen. So yeah, that's pretty much my little bit of a story right there. So you've heard roars and screams in other parts of so in your adult life, you've been hearing those as well in different areas. Oh yeah, yeah, I've spent a lot of time in the predominantly the Washington Cascade Mountains. When I was younger, I used to go. Out and do a lot of hiking, and I'd go out and spend anywhere from a week to two weeks out in the middle of the mountains. And in fact, one time I heard what I thought was a woman screaming, and I'm out there, middle of nowhere, and I'm like yelling back, like hey, are you a help, you'll help you tell me where you are, and nothing ever, nothing ever yelled back or anything like that. And I've heard tree knocks, and you're out so deep that it's not a very likely chance that there's somebody out there, you know what I mean, Like you're way deep, and to think that you're hearing these things, you know that I, like I said, I don't know if there's screams or roars or whatever it is that they do.

6:40 Yeah, I've heard them. I've heard the tree docks, I've heard the whatever kind of noises it is that they're making. I'm curious about the roars and the screens because I and you may have already heard this on the show, But I did experience something similar to that down in the will LaMotte National Forest this July. Was the or in the scream separate or did you hear at one point where they were together or combined in a way? No? Yeah, no, separate, Yeah. No. The scream that I heard, like I said, it sounded like a woman. The one time. That was only maybe maybe definitely one time. I'm not sure if it was another time as well. But then the roar or I don't know if roar, growl, whatever you want to call it.

7:31 That was like, that was god awful. Like I see some of these YouTube videos people recording these things. And I'm thinking, I've heard that before. I've heard that they're terrifying sounding like literally like do you literally want to pack up camp and get out of there as quick as you can type of thing. Do you don't know where they're coming from or what? Absolutely did you have any physical reaction when you would hear those sounds? Personally? Yeah, you feel like you're maybe only an inch tall whatever it is. If it breaks my camp? What am I going to do? There ain't no way that I'd be able to defend myself against something like that, because that for me personally, as deep and as ferocious as these growls or roars or whatever they're doing are, there ain't no way that I could ever saun that mean or big or like I couldn't even these things like whatever it is that I'm hearing or I've heard, I'm sorry, whatever it is that I've heard, it's like you can hear it through the whole mountain.

8:36 I couldn't scream like that or roar like that. So have you heard anything else online or out a zoo that comes close to the roar that you heard that day. Yeah, I've heard one or two videos that have put I've heard one or two videos where it was like. Yeah, that's what that's what I heard. I know, that's what I heard. Some of the other videos that I've watched, I almost wonder this person faking this, or is this person? Has this person gotten this from somebody else's video type of thing or whatever, because anymore, with AI and all these people, they just they want to make videos just so that they can get clickbait re views, you know what I'm saying.

9:21 So it's like anymore, you really don't know it's rue or not. Unfortunately. Oh yeah, absolutely. I wish I had a recording of mine that the audio I had at the time just wasn't good enough to record the sound. It was too far away, but we still heard it. It was really loud, just it was too far away from my microphone to catch it. And yeah, that's one of the big regrets I have. Yeah, but it is what it is. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, I totally feel you because a lot of the things that I or my experiences, like back then a lot of the time when I was spending a lot of my time in the mountains. This was before cell phones really had videos or camp is like the way that they are now. I'm almost fifty. I don't do a lot of the stuff that I used to do.

10:06 I don't have the. Energy to go out and do the things that I used to do, unfortunately. But back then, when I had that energy and I was going out and doing those things, cameras didn't have cell phones, didn't have the cameras in the videos like they got now, So I'd never got a chance to be able. To record my experiences, which I was willing to have. One night in particular, this was up in past Granite Falls, Washington. I used to go way deep out there and my truck. I'd get my truck in as far as I could get it, and I'm sitting out there one. Night, in fact, I think that might have been where. I heard what I thought was a woman screaming, and I just put out the campfire. I was going to bed, laying down, getting ready to sleep in the back of my truck. I had to canopy over the back of my truck, and yeah, I had a huge row waller at the time. And this dog he was not. He was a very good guard dog, wasn't afraid of nothing.

11:05 And as I after I put the campfire out, I heard something walking around out there two legs. You can tell something just by a sound. You can tell something is on two legs or four legs. Whatever this thing was that I heard walking around my truck was on two legs. I have not a clue what it was. And when it had put its hands or pause or whatever you want to call it on my truck, the back part of my truck where I was sleeping, the whole side of my truck or one whole side of my truck literally went down. That's how heavy this thing was. And I was my dog wasn't even growing whatever was out there.

11:50 My dog was light not. I don't even want none to do with that. And so I'm thinking, if God, if my dog is not trying to protect me. I didn't I was a to even breathe, honestly. And I ended up getting up the next day and got out and looked at the side of my truck where that thing was, and there was three scratches going down the side of my truck. Thankfully, that thing ended up walking away, but it didn't because I didn't my canopy. The door on my back canopy. Didn't lock, So whatever that thing was didn't try to open my back canopy because I I. Would have been I would have been screwed.

12:31 How long were the scratches on the side of your truck? There were a good I'd say six inches. And what really got me was because they're or cougar, they have four you got four claws or five claws there. So whatever this was like with it only having there was only like three scratches, I'm thinking, am I dealing with an alien? Or did I have an alien walking around my truck? Sider? I just I didn't know what to think. I really didn't. I had not a clue what to think about what that was. Because whatever, like I said, if it had been if it had sounded like it was on all fours, I wouldn't have been as terrified because who, like I said, I've spent a lot of time in the mountains, I've spent a lot of time in the woods, and I've never even walked out around the middle of the friggin deep woods at night without a flashlight.

13:27 Who does that? Who does that? And so. It was really scary or terrifying the thing unless you've got night vision, which not too many people are just carrying around night vision with them. What would be out there on two legs, not walking around with a flashlight in like straight pure darkness. That doesn't make sense logically. No, not at all, not at all. And I've tried. I've tried to figure that out for years, like what could that have been? And I'm still like when I think about it to this day, it's been it's been twenty years since that and I think about it to this day and I'm thinking, where could that have been? So, yeah, my mind is still boggled by by some of these things that I've experienced.

14:15 Were there any footprints on the ground around your truck? Not that I could see the ground I was looking for Where I was at the ground, it was quite hard. It was like really hot gall on earth, so I wasn't able to tell. But I looked off to where in the direction that I heard it walking off. But honestly, I didn't see nothing. I didn't see footprints or anything like that. No, I'm sorry. Was there any smell you noticed that night? Not? You know, what had I known to pay attention to something like that, I would have.

14:55 Big for society. Who will be right back after these messages? I I don't. Yeah, I don't recall smelling anything, not even not even when I was a kid. That happened out there in battleground. Not even when I was a kid. Do I remember or recall a smell. I've heard people mentioned a smell before, but I don't recall. Anything like that.

15:36 Like, not only that, but it's like I said, it's also been so many years and I didn't know that's something that he had to pay attention to. You mentioned your dog was really not involved at all. He's just pretty much hanging out. Did you notice any any noises in the woods that night at all? I, if I recall correctly, that was one of the nights that I heard the tree knocking and what I heard sound like a woman screaming. In fact, I believe I no, I might be wrong about this, but if I recall, that was the same camping trip that I had taken before I had put the fire out, where I heard what I thought was a woman screaming, and I'm.

16:24 Like yelling, hey, where are you all help? You'll help you, and I didn't get nothing back when I heard tree knucks. I did hear tree knucks, but aside from that, I don't recall anything else about that incident. So you know, it's really that is really a horrifying situation. Once you put all those details together with the tree knocks, the screaming, something walking around your truck being pushed down on the side, the tree knocks. Were you hearing them from just one area or were they from multiple areas as well? If I remember correctly, it was only coming from one area. That Now, like I said, don't quote me on that.

17:04 Like I said, it's been twenty something years since that experience right there, that I do recall definitely. From one area. I don't recall from multiple areas. But you are right, it was an absolutely terrifying experience. That is something that makes you feel like I'm not very big. Whatever it is, it didn't sound like it was a small the tree not didn't sound like it was coming from like a small stick, you know what I mean. It sounded like it was coming. From like a log being banged, a log being banged against a a tree. You know what I mean.

17:44 You know I mean it sounds like it was whatever was knocking was banging something large against the trunk of a tree. That's the best way that I know how to describe it to you. But so the upsite you were at, how hard was it to get into that camp? So did you have to travel pretty long ways into the woods or what was that? Like? I did? Yeah? It so up there you go up past Granite Falls, Washington, And I forget the name of that area, if I remember correctly, it's not Baker National Wilderness Area. But I forget the name of the road that goes back that way.

18:27 But if you get off the road, you get off the main road, and literally you're probably driving for a good forty five minutes to an hour, maybe even an hour and a half if I remember correctly, to get back just to get to your spot, you're going down gravel road. And I happened to just find this was the place that I used to go. It was an overgrown road that you wouldn't even know that was there. I just ended up happening to find it by happen chance. And I thought, hey, I'm going to give it a try, take my truck back here and see what I find. And that was how I ended up finding my camping spot. It was overlooking a It was overlooking like a valley.

19:09 That's the best way to put Yeah, it was a valley. You had literally mountains on all sides, and you drive in through. There's some tight narrow spots where you're literally having to look at your window just to make sure that you're not putting your tire over the edge. You know, that's how tired it was. But yeah, anybody driving past and just to give from the dirt road back to where I was at, that was about another thirty minutes, twenty thirty minutes just to get to that spot. Yeah, it's out there. It was definitely out there. That sounds to me that there is no possible logical way that there was supposed to be another person out walking around your truck. There's no no way overgrown, oh, no road that no one else knows is there. It's hard to get out there, dude.

20:06 Wow, definitely not. Yeah, I definitely not. Like I said, I used to spend a lot of time out there. I was maybe I was about twenty five years old at the time. Like I said, I used to spend a lot of time out there. I used to be like on my days off, my days off or my weeks off of work, that's where I was at when I was not working. That was my spot. That was where I was at, and I spent a lot of time out there, and all the time that I'd spent out there, that was really the only incident or only time that I had that. Experience out there in that specific area. Yeah, and obviously you can tell, and I didn't have any firearms or anything, so you can only imagine how terrifying that was.

20:50 It was nerve wreaking. Man, it was really nerve wrecking. So really all you had was your dog for protection, and at that point your dog was like, dude, you're on your own pretty much. Yeah yeah, oh yeah. Like I said, he was a huge raw waller. That dog wasn't afraid of nothing. And I think whatever was outside of that truck that night like even broke that dog's spirit. You know, that dog after I don't want nothing to do with it. Absolutely. And you also had another thing now I'm looking at my notes, is your fire was out, So that's another thing that you could have potentially used to protect yourself.

21:32 You could have grabbed a stick that was on fire, something I charge at you. But that was out So that was out of the question too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was out of the question. Yeah. Because what's funny about the whole situation, or that whole situation was was, like I said, I heard what sounded like a woman's scream or whatever. And before that, before I had decided to bet down for the night, like I had. To feel like something's watching me, you know what I mean. And most of the time, when you have that feeling that something is watching you, most of the time you're right. And I had that feeling that night, before that, before all that ever took place, I just had this feeling like and like I said, I've been after I don't know how many times, and just that night it was like it was a very eerie It was a very eerie, uncomfortable film. And I for the longest before I better down that I had this feeling that.

22:31 You know, something, something's out there, something's watching me. But then I'm telling myself, before all that happened, I'm telling myself, all you're just freaking out, you're just tripping, you're out here alone, you're just you're being a whimp whatever, And lo and behold, all of a sudden that that stuff happens, and I'm thinking, my God, that my feeling was right. Whatever I was feeling. I was spot on about whatever it was that I was feeling. So absolutely, and it's best when you get a feeling like that to definitely pay attention to it, especially in yeah, situations like this and just some listeners might need to be your minded. He didn't have a cell phone at this time, I mean, this is twenty years ago.

23:16 Yeah, yeah, not only that, but even back then, even if you did. Have a cell phone. I believe I did have a. Cell phone, but the cell phone service out that far, at least back then, was very choppy service. You were lucky to have service if you even had. Your cell phone on you. Absolutely, I imagine now cell phone service is really good in the area like that, But back then, even if you had your cell phone, no, you don't even plan on having internet or anything out. There, so pretty much you were on your own during that situation. On your own. Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, yeah, absolutely. Any of these areas that you've had things happen, have you ever gone and look to see if there are things on the web about other people having situations happened in the same areas.

24:09 That's funny that you bring that up, So that that was what, like I. Said, when I had when I was listening to that. Like I said, I don't I can't remember if it was a thing about David Plotti's or whatever. But when I was listening to that podcast four or five years ago or whatever it was, and they were talking about their what they the research that they've done about bigfoot, when their characteristics and stuff like that, I it literally the person that I was listening to, like I said, their experience totally reminded me of my experience from from back when I was five or six years old. And I literally I didn't even know this until that, but I thought, I wonder if there's a website where they record bigfoot settings. Lo in the whole I ended up and finding a website where they actually record that kind of stuff.

25:05 And lo and behold again they around. That time, nineteen eighty two, nineteen eighty three Dollar Ground, Washington, they actually did have if I remember, it was only one bigfoot setting. So it's weird that I had that experience in the same time frame that somebody else had that experience. So I'm really glad that you had mentioned that or asked me that, because, yeah, if you look in that time frame whatever, I can't remember what website it was at this point, but if you look at that time frame that I had had my experience, there was actually a sighting out there.

25:45 Going back to that battleground sighting that you had. So you mentioned a few things where you know, you had seen the shoulder with you'd seen the arm, the hair hanging off of the arm. And I know you're you know this five six years old, so very long time ago, but did you happen to remember seeing any other details about the creature besides that. I remember barely seeing that thing's face at that young of an age. I just thought I was looking at a really big guy, you know what I mean, because it was popping its head out from behind the tree, and I thought I was just looking at a really hairy guy. And that's that's exactly what I told my dad and his friend, Hey, there's somebody out there watching me and the other kids.

26:36 And they ended up going and. I followed them out there to where I had seen it to point out, hey, that's where it was at type of thing, And I remember watching them walk up and telling them, hey, it's behind the tree, or it was behind that tree. And I remember watching them walk up to where that thing was at and I remember, because I was looking at the a branch where its d that his head went up to it. There was a branch. There was a branch a little right about that thing's head. So that's how I was able to size it up, you see what I'm saying. So when my dad and that guy walked up, and I'm seeing how small they are, and they was, they weren't as white as they were, Like if they stood against that tree, or if they were standing behind the.

27:27 Tree, you wouldn't have even known they were there. That's how big that tree was. And that things shoulders was literally protruding out from both sides of the tree. And I remember my dad and him walking up, and I'm thinking, I think it was a lot bigger than you guys. What are you guys going to do? Whatever a five year old thinks at that age is what I was thinking. They didn't even. Usually a kid, when their dad is doing something or when an adult they trust is doing something that they know that they're going to protect them, usually that child will full protected. But I remember thinking, like, you guys are nowhere near the size of that guy.

28:08 Like, you guys are a whole lot smaller than that guy. And that's what I was thinking, because I'd never seen a guy that big, right, And so that's the Yeah, that's where my mind was at that time. Do you remember a color to it at all? Yes, I do. It was. I remember it like it was yesterday. How do you describe the color? And I'm a painter, So it was like a brown. It was like an amber brown. It was like a brown amber reddish color. That's the best way I know how to put it to you. But I'm sorry. If I could give you a better description, I would. But I do remember it being a brown with a reddishness to it. If you understand what I'm trying to tell you, or if you understand the color I'm trying to.

28:52 Tell I absolutely do, because it's that's used a lot that kind of Yeah, absolutely, I totally get it. You said, so the head was peeking around the tree. Were you able to see it maybe a shape to the head at all? Yeah? Yeah, it was. Oh man, I'm not good at descriptions, dude. I'm so sorry. The best way I know how to put it. I remember thinking he looked like a monkey. That's literally how I remember describing what the. Guy looked like to my dad was he looked like a monkey. Aside from that, I don't remember much of anything else to like the description. I just remember thinking that he was very big, very mean, and scary looking. That's all I remember. And the fact that it looked like an ape man. That's yeah. Do you doing the best I can hear for you?

29:46 Oh? No, you're doing absolutely great, Especially since it was a very long time ago. Do you remember the particular things that made you think that it was mean or scary at that time? Just the fact that we lived out in the woods like way on the outskirts of battle ground, knowing that they're like, you know, where we were at. There was no other houses, and people don't just go trotting onto other people's properties like that, at least at that time they didn't. That's a good way to get shot. And as I played out in the woods I don't know how many times, and it was a safe area.

30:27 You didn't have to worry about people just going around out there, and Battleground Washington, you didn't have to worry about that type of a thing back then, just people going scoping out properties or whatever. That crime out there was pretty much gnaw at that time. Absolutely. And one more question, did you get a feeling at all as to how tall it probably was? I would say, if I remember correctly. In fact, you know, after I listened to that podcast, I went to try to find that property that we were living on a few years back, trying to find it.

31:09 I couldn't remember which one it was. I was wanting to go see that tree. As a man now, I was wanting to go see that just so I could get an idea of how big that thing was. And I couldn't find the property. For the life of me. I remember about where it was at. I just couldn't remember exactly where it was at. But I would have to say, I would think ten feet. That's my best guess for you, Yeah, that's my best guess. And this thing I would say, I would say as for the shoulder with, I would say at least a good four or five feet shoulder with something about right. That's yeah. As white as that tree was, Like I said, that was a big tree. And if I remember correctly, it had to have been about to get four or five foot shoulder to it, which that's you think about four or five foot shoulder with that's whatever?

32:04 That thing is huge? Oh it's a massive animal or creature or have you ever thought of that too? Do you think where you were looking more at a giant ape or maybe some relative of human or have you ever thought about that before? No, I've never really never really thought about it. I've always wondered if those things are I've always wondered if those things are relative to the to the epe or primate species or whatever. But no, that's not something that I've ever really much thought about. I've always just wanted to know what it is. That's that's always been my curiosity is just just to know what that thing might be, or what it is or whatever.

32:56 Yeah, I hear you on that. It would be great to get some solid information, and I think we might get there someday. Yeah, I hope I would also. I would love to someday have a sighting. I think if I keep going out to the Pacific Northwest that'll probably happen eventually. But yeah, Dean, I just. Want to say thank you for taking some time to share what you've experienced over the years, would if you had the chance to, would you ever want to experience any of anything like these situations again? Oh? Yeah, absolutely absolutely, I would totally. In fact, that's always been a big It's funny because as terrifying as that situation is, there's still that curiosity there. Of God, I want to experience that again. I want to see that again, or I want to hear that again, because it's just there's the need to want to know. There's the need to want to like I guess that's just human nature to want to discover something new or whatever.

34:13 Yeah. No, I think you're right. It's one of the last mysteries that in the uap UFO thing. But I think it's one of the last mysteries we have in a world that is so knowledge and information bombards us all over the place, and yet there's this one thing that we just can't get the answers to and I think it drives I think it drives us all crazy. Maybe. And one things, Oh yeah, yeah, same here, same here. One thing I wanted to bring up to you because I think it was your show. There's a couple of different podcasts listen to that deal with this that deal with this subject, and I think it was your show, but I.

35:00 Apologize if it wasn't. But I do remember the host asking the person that was on the show if they were Native American, and they said, yeah, I've got such and such a Native American amy And he said, that's really strange because a majority of the sightings that people are, the people that are have these experiences are Native American, which I thought was really strange when I heard that, because I have Cherokee and Blackfoot. I'm Cherokee on my dad's side and then I'm Blackfoot. On my mom's side. So for me to have heard that, I was thinking, that's strange. I'm part Native Americans, what's up with that? I just thought that was a really interesting question that a podcaster had asked that person. Yeah, I'm baffled by it.

35:50 Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was me. I think I know exactly which one you're talking about. And it's not a thing to say that, like you can't have a sighting unless you have that. But it's just it is a commonality that I've started to notice through my interviews, which is a lot of people something will come up where they have a Native American background, and even on top of that a large amount, say, is something to do with Cherokee as well. And then there's yeah, there's just some interesting details. There's another detail I've noticed a certain sometimes it comes out as certain blood types. I think it's really our negative. Yeah, it's just it's very interesting.

36:37 But I think that anyone can have an encounter, and it all comes down to what your motivation is, what your mindset, if you've got the right the word escape me escapes me. If you're the right I don't want to say right type of person, but the right type of heart, I guess is one way to say it is another way to see it. Just it's escaping right now. But man, Dean, I think you could be open to that kind of a thing exactly. Yes, that is exactly what I'm trying to say. You hit it on the head. You do have to be open to a wide variety of things. If not, you're probably going to look right past it. But absolutely, Yeah. Dian, it was a pleasure having you come on the show to I'm glad you're able to come on and share a few different times in your life where you experience something out of the ordinary. Out there in Washington, and thank you so much for coming on.

37:30 Man. Yes, thank you so much for taking the time to hear my story. Man. Like I said, like I told you before, I've never really had a platform to be able to tell what I've seen or heard, and I thought it was just really cool. You give them somebody a platform to do that. You're a big for Society. Art goal is to provide a platform for those that have encountered Bigfoot to share their encounter and a safe and respected environment. But we need to hear your story.

It's been twenty years and it's time that you get this off your chest and then you can get some well deserved for rest because I know you haven't been sleeping. I understand what you're going through and I appreciate every one of you listening.
