Join us as Dean, a longtime listener and outdoorsman, shares his chilling encounters with mysterious creatures in southern Washington State. From his childhood experience in Battle Ground, WA in the early 1980s, where he witnessed a massive figure with broad shoulders and hairy arms, to eerily similar roars and screams during his adult expeditions in the Cascade Mountains. Dean's detailed recounting of these events, including unexplained three-knock sounds and a terrifying night alone with heavy scratches left on his truck, will leave you questioning the unknown lurking in the wilderness.

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.959
But Dean, is there anything about you that listeners would

24
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.079
need to know before we get started.

25
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:13.959
Not that I can think of.

26
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.599
I spent a lot of time out in the mountains,

27
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.120
out in the woods, and I have always enjoyed being

28
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:21.159
out in the wild and whatnot.

29
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.439
And yeah, so I've had my share of experiences. Dean.

30
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:27.680
I'm going to have you go ahead and take us

31
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.840
back to where we need to be. Let us know

32
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.959
that the area we're looking at today, and I'll let

33
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.480
you take it from here, Okay.

34
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:36.840
Yeah.

35
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.959
Back in nineteen eighty two, nineteen eighty three, I was

36
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:45.200
about maybe five six years old and lived out in Battleground, Washington,

37
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:51.280
that's southwest Washington, and we were back then Battleground, Washington

38
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.799
was like a very small town, not very big at all,

39
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.920
and we lived on the outskirts of that, out in

40
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:03.680
the woods, and we were renting some property from a

41
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:08.599
guy that my dad knew, and we were basically me

42
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:10.879
and five or six other kids were out there in

43
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.680
the woods on the edge of the property playing and

44
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:19.199
I had seen somebody or something walk up behind a

45
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:26.800
tree and was watching us, and I myself, I've always

46
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.120
been a protective person. I've always watched out for people

47
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.039
around me and whatnot. And so I gathered up the

48
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.599
other kids that I was playing with and I said, hey,

49
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:35.520
there's somebody I heard.

50
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:37.319
We got to go back, go back home. I ended

51
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.080
up getting my dad and the guy that we were

52
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:41.199
renting the property from.

53
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.199
They brought a couple couple of guns out with them,

54
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.560
and I remember when they were walking up to where

55
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:52.080
I had seen that thing and just seeing the size

56
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:56.680
of them compared to what I was seeing of that thing.

57
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.479
And it's shoulders were broader than the tree. And this

58
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:03.680
was a good sized tree. I remember it like it

59
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:07.479
was yesterday, and this was a good sized tree. And

60
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.400
I seen both of his shoulders protruding out from both

61
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.800
sides of the tree. And yeah, and I remember my

62
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.240
dad and that guy walking out there and just thinking

63
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.439
that thing was a lot bigger than that guy. I

64
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.599
didn't know it at the time, but you think, and

65
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:22.159
that guy was a lot bigger than you guys. What

66
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.840
are you guys going to do? And they I remember

67
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:30.479
when it would lift its arms, it had to me

68
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.759
it looked hairy, like it had hair just hanging down

69
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.599
from its arms. As I got older, we lived next

70
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.280
to a military training camp for a little while, and

71
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:40.719
as I.

72
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:42.080
Got a little bit older.

73
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.360
I thought what I had seen at that point, what

74
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.680
I thought i'd seen was a really big guy in

75
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.159
a gilly suit. I didn't even know what a gilly

76
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:55.039
suit was until I had lived across from that military

77
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.120
training camp. And I've always remembered this incident like it

78
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:03.719
was yesterday, and maybe about four years ago, five years.

79
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.000
Ago, I was listening to I don't know if it was.

80
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:10.159
Your show or another bigfoot podcast that I was listening to.

81
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.599
I was listening to this guy speak and in fact,

82
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.319
David Pilate's I don't know if you know about Missing.

83
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.560
Four one one I was listening to.

84
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:27.199
It might have been him, but they were talking about Bigfoot,

85
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:31.279
and I never really considered or thought of it being Bigfoot.

86
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.519
That they the person that was talking on the show,

87
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:41.639
their experience sounded an awful lot like mine. And so

88
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.680
that was where or when I started thinking, was that

89
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.959
what I seen? Did I have my own? Did I

90
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.480
have my own encounter or something like that. And as

91
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.160
they were saying that these things or whatever they are

92
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.959
that they like to watch, kids are fascinated or I

93
00:04:57.959 --> 00:04:59.920
don't know, I don't know too much about the fun

94
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.160
I'm gonna but yeah, ever since I heard that show,

95
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.439
I've been this last four or five years, I've gotten

96
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.120
a bit more interested in wanting to know what's author

97
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.319
and what's up, because I've spent a lot of time

98
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:14.759
in the woods and I've heard got awful I don't

99
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.240
know if you want to call them screams or roars

100
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.000
or whatever.

101
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:20.199
I know that ain't a bear.

102
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.319
I know that's not a cougar, and I just I've

103
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.160
always wanted to find out, you know what, you know

104
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:28.240
these things are that I've heard, or that one thing

105
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:28.839
that I seen.

106
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.720
So yeah, that's pretty much my little bit of a

107
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:33.560
story right there.

108
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:38.199
So you've heard roars and screams in other parts of

109
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.199
so in your adult life, you've been hearing those as

110
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:42.720
well in different areas.

111
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:47.240
Oh yeah, yeah, I've spent a lot of time in

112
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:51.959
the predominantly the Washington Cascade Mountains.

113
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.240
When I was younger, I used to go.

114
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.399
Out and do a lot of hiking, and I'd go

115
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.000
out and spend anywhere from a week to two weeks

116
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.800
out in the middle of the mountains. And in fact,

117
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.560
one time I heard what I thought was a woman screaming,

118
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:09.199
and I'm out there, middle of nowhere, and I'm like

119
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.560
yelling back, like hey, are you a help, you'll help

120
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.279
you tell me where you are, and nothing ever, nothing

121
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.920
ever yelled back or anything like that. And I've heard

122
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:23.279
tree knocks, and you're out so deep that it's not

123
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.360
a very likely chance that there's somebody out there, you

124
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:31.120
know what I mean, Like you're way deep, and to

125
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.879
think that you're hearing these things, you know that I,

126
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.000
like I said, I don't know if there's screams or

127
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:39.439
roars or whatever it is that they do.

128
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:41.120
Yeah, I've heard them.

129
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.920
I've heard the tree docks, I've heard the whatever kind

130
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:45.439
of noises it is that they're making.

131
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.959
I'm curious about the roars and the screens because I

132
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.560
and you may have already heard this on the show,

133
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:55.800
But I did experience something similar to that down in

134
00:06:55.920 --> 00:07:00.399
the will LaMotte National Forest this July. Was the or

135
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.439
in the scream separate or did you hear at one

136
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.800
point where they were together or combined in a way?

137
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:07.240
No?

138
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.399
Yeah, no, separate, Yeah. No.

139
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.879
The scream that I heard, like I said, it sounded

140
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:18.079
like a woman. The one time. That was only maybe

141
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.240
maybe definitely one time. I'm not sure if it was

142
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:27.000
another time as well. But then the roar or I

143
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.600
don't know if roar, growl, whatever you want to call it.

144
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:35.000
That was like, that was god awful. Like I see

145
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.959
some of these YouTube videos people recording these things.

146
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:39.959
And I'm thinking, I've heard that before.

147
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:45.319
I've heard that they're terrifying sounding like literally like do

148
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.639
you literally want to pack up camp and get out

149
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.079
of there as quick as you can type of thing.

150
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:52.199
Do you don't know where they're coming from or what?

151
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.439
Absolutely did you have any physical reaction when you would

152
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.240
hear those sounds? Personally?

153
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.560
Yeah, you feel like you're maybe only an inch tall

154
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:03.720
whatever it is.

155
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:06.480
If it breaks my camp? What am I going to do?

156
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.399
There ain't no way that I'd be able to defend

157
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:12.680
myself against something like that, because that for me personally,

158
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:19.600
as deep and as ferocious as these growls or roars

159
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.360
or whatever they're doing are, there ain't no way that

160
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:25.920
I could ever saun that mean or big or like

161
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.519
I couldn't even these things like whatever it is that

162
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:32.279
I'm hearing or I've heard, I'm sorry, whatever it is

163
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:34.759
that I've heard, it's like you can hear it through

164
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:35.519
the whole mountain.

165
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:37.919
I couldn't scream like that or roar like that.

166
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:44.840
So have you heard anything else online or out a

167
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:47.919
zoo that comes close to the roar that you heard

168
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:48.440
that day.

169
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:55.000
Yeah, I've heard one or two videos that have put

170
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:57.519
I've heard one or two videos where it was like.

171
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.440
Yeah, that's what that's what I heard. I know, that's

172
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:00.960
what I heard.

173
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:04.240
Some of the other videos that I've watched, I almost

174
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:08.440
wonder this person faking this, or is this person? Has

175
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.159
this person gotten this from somebody else's video type of

176
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:15.639
thing or whatever, because anymore, with AI and all these people,

177
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.679
they just they want to make videos just so that

178
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.120
they can get clickbait re views, you know what I'm saying.

179
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:24.080
So it's like anymore, you really don't know it's rue

180
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:25.360
or not. Unfortunately.

181
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.080
Oh yeah, absolutely. I wish I had a recording of

182
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.720
mine that the audio I had at the time just

183
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.759
wasn't good enough to record the sound. It was too

184
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:37.200
far away, but we still heard it. It was really loud,

185
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.320
just it was too far away from my microphone to

186
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.360
catch it. And yeah, that's one of the big regrets

187
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.840
I have. Yeah, but it is what it is.

188
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:46.519
Absolutely. Yeah.

189
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.240
Yeah, I totally feel you because a lot of the

190
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:52.240
things that I or my experiences, like back then a

191
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.159
lot of the time when I was spending a lot

192
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.559
of my time in the mountains. This was before cell

193
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.799
phones really had videos or camp is like the way

194
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:04.320
that they are now. I'm almost fifty. I don't do

195
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:06.120
a lot of the stuff that I used to do.

196
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:06.840
I don't have the.

197
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:08.360
Energy to go out and do the things that I

198
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:09.639
used to do, unfortunately.

199
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.720
But back then, when I had that energy and I

200
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:15.480
was going out and doing those things, cameras didn't have

201
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.000
cell phones, didn't have the cameras in the videos like

202
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:21.799
they got now, So I'd never got a chance to

203
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:22.440
be able.

204
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.960
To record my experiences, which I was willing to have.

205
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:31.159
One night in particular, this was up in past Granite Falls, Washington.

206
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.559
I used to go way deep out there and my truck.

207
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.240
I'd get my truck in as far as I could

208
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:40.440
get it, and I'm sitting out there one.

209
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.639
Night, in fact, I think that might have been where.

210
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.720
I heard what I thought was a woman screaming, and

211
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:49.440
I just put out the campfire. I was going to bed,

212
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:51.720
laying down, getting ready to sleep in the back of

213
00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:53.519
my truck. I had to canopy over the back of

214
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:57.960
my truck, and yeah, I had a huge row waller

215
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.840
at the time. And this dog he was not. He

216
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.440
was a very good guard dog, wasn't afraid of nothing.

217
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.679
And as I after I put the campfire out, I

218
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:14.120
heard something walking around out there two legs. You can

219
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.799
tell something just by a sound. You can tell something

220
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.360
is on two legs or four legs. Whatever this thing

221
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.679
was that I heard walking around my truck was on

222
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:27.399
two legs. I have not a clue what it was.

223
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:32.039
And when it had put its hands or pause or

224
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.960
whatever you want to call it on my truck, the

225
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.279
back part of my truck where I was sleeping, the

226
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.600
whole side of my truck or one whole side of

227
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:42.200
my truck literally went down.

228
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:44.000
That's how heavy this thing was.

229
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:49.039
And I was my dog wasn't even growing whatever was

230
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:49.600
out there.

231
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.279
My dog was light not. I don't even want none

232
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:53.759
to do with that.

233
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.480
And so I'm thinking, if God, if my dog is

234
00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:57.879
not trying to protect me.

235
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:02.080
I didn't I was a to even breathe, honestly.

236
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.360
And I ended up getting up the next day and

237
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:08.480
got out and looked at the side of my truck

238
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:11.279
where that thing was, and there was three scratches going

239
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.360
down the side of my truck. Thankfully, that thing ended

240
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:18.799
up walking away, but it didn't because I didn't my canopy.

241
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.960
The door on my back canopy.

242
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.799
Didn't lock, So whatever that thing was didn't try to

243
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.279
open my back canopy because I I.

244
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.639
Would have been I would have been screwed.

245
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.600
How long were the scratches on the side of your truck?

246
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:37.080
There were a good I'd say six inches.

247
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:41.840
And what really got me was because they're or cougar,

248
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.399
they have four you got four claws or five claws there.

249
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:49.120
So whatever this was like with it only having there

250
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.399
was only like three scratches, I'm thinking, am I dealing

251
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:53.000
with an alien?

252
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.639
Or did I have an alien walking around my truck? Sider?

253
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.799
I just I didn't know what to think. I really didn't.

254
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:02.279
I had not a clue what to think about what

255
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:06.039
that was. Because whatever, like I said, if it had

256
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:10.080
been if it had sounded like it was on all fours,

257
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:15.919
I wouldn't have been as terrified because who, like I said,

258
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:17.759
I've spent a lot of time in the mountains, I've

259
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:22.039
spent a lot of time in the woods, and I've

260
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:25.159
never even walked out around the middle of the friggin

261
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:26.919
deep woods at night without a flashlight.

262
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:30.759
Who does that? Who does that? And so.

263
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.679
It was really scary or terrifying the thing unless you've

264
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:39.720
got night vision, which not too many people are just

265
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.679
carrying around night vision with them. What would be out

266
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.480
there on two legs, not walking around with a flashlight

267
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:49.919
in like straight pure darkness.

268
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:52.600
That doesn't make sense logically.

269
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:55.960
No, not at all, not at all. And I've tried.

270
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.879
I've tried to figure that out for years, like what

271
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:02.600
could that have been? And I'm still like when I

272
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.840
think about it to this day, it's been it's been

273
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.000
twenty years since that and I think about it to

274
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:11.679
this day and I'm thinking, where could that have been? So, yeah,

275
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:14.120
my mind is still boggled by by some of these

276
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:15.480
things that I've experienced.

277
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:19.559
Were there any footprints on the ground around your truck?

278
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:24.039
Not that I could see the ground I was looking

279
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:27.000
for Where I was at the ground, it was quite hard.

280
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:31.600
It was like really hot gall on earth, so I

281
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.120
wasn't able to tell.

282
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:38.279
But I looked off to where in the direction that

283
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:42.399
I heard it walking off. But honestly, I didn't see nothing.

284
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.480
I didn't see footprints or anything like that. No, I'm sorry.

285
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.799
Was there any smell you noticed that night?

286
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:51.320
Not?

287
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:54.159
You know, what had I known to pay attention to

288
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:55.519
something like that, I would have.

289
00:14:55.960 --> 00:15:00.200
Big for society. Who will be right back after these messages?

290
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:17.080
I I don't.

291
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:21.440
Yeah, I don't recall smelling anything, not even not even

292
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:23.960
when I was a kid. That happened out there in battleground.

293
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.480
Not even when I was a kid. Do I remember

294
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:32.440
or recall a smell. I've heard people mentioned a smell before,

295
00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:34.679
but I don't recall.

296
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:35.759
Anything like that.

297
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.279
Like, not only that, but it's like I said, it's

298
00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:40.559
also been so many years and I didn't know that's

299
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:41.960
something that he had to pay attention to.

300
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:48.840
You mentioned your dog was really not involved at all.

301
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:53.159
He's just pretty much hanging out. Did you notice any

302
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:59.200
any noises in the woods that night at all? I,

303
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:03.039
if I recall correctly, that was one of the nights

304
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.000
that I heard the tree knocking and what I heard

305
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:08.879
sound like a woman screaming.

306
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:11.279
In fact, I believe I no, I might be wrong

307
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.879
about this, but if I recall, that was the same

308
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.679
camping trip that I had taken before I had put

309
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:21.559
the fire out, where I heard what I thought was

310
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:24.399
a woman screaming, and I'm.

311
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:25.759
Like yelling, hey, where are you all help?

312
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:28.080
You'll help you, and I didn't get nothing back when

313
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:31.200
I heard tree knucks. I did hear tree knucks, but

314
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:35.519
aside from that, I don't recall anything else about that incident.

315
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:42.039
So you know, it's really that is really a horrifying situation.

316
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.000
Once you put all those details together with the tree knocks,

317
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.440
the screaming, something walking around your truck being pushed down

318
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:51.639
on the side, the tree knocks. Were you hearing them

319
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:54.639
from just one area or were they from multiple areas

320
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:55.120
as well?

321
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:01.519
If I remember correctly, it was only coming from one area.

322
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:04.319
That Now, like I said, don't quote me on that.

323
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:06.519
Like I said, it's been twenty something years since that

324
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:10.799
experience right there, that I do recall definitely.

325
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:11.000
From one area.

326
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:16.559
I don't recall from multiple areas. But you are right,

327
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:21.039
it was an absolutely terrifying experience. That is something that

328
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:25.119
makes you feel like I'm not very big. Whatever it is,

329
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:28.359
it didn't sound like it was a small the tree

330
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:30.480
not didn't sound like it was coming from like a

331
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:32.359
small stick, you know what I mean.

332
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:34.519
It sounded like it was coming.

333
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:39.319
From like a log being banged, a log being banged

334
00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:42.000
against a a tree.

335
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:43.000
You know what I mean.

336
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:47.960
You know I mean it sounds like it was whatever

337
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:54.279
was knocking was banging something large against the trunk of

338
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:54.759
a tree.

339
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:57.000
That's the best way that I know how to describe

340
00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:57.359
it to you.

341
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:02.440
But so the upsite you were at, how hard was

342
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:04.920
it to get into that camp? So did you have

343
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.480
to travel pretty long ways into the woods or what

344
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:08.799
was that?

345
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:11.240
Like? I did? Yeah?

346
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:16.160
It so up there you go up past Granite Falls, Washington,

347
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:19.440
And I forget the name of that area, if I

348
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:22.759
remember correctly, it's not Baker National Wilderness Area.

349
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.319
But I forget the name of the road that goes

350
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:27.079
back that way.

351
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:31.039
But if you get off the road, you get off

352
00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:34.279
the main road, and literally you're probably driving for a

353
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:38.359
good forty five minutes to an hour, maybe even an

354
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:40.359
hour and a half if I remember correctly, to get

355
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:43.000
back just to get to your spot, you're going down

356
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:47.319
gravel road. And I happened to just find this was

357
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.039
the place that I used to go. It was an

358
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.960
overgrown road that you wouldn't even know that was there.

359
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:57.759
I just ended up happening to find it by happen chance.

360
00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:00.599
And I thought, hey, I'm going to give it a try,

361
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:02.519
take my truck back here and see what I find.

362
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:06.240
And that was how I ended up finding my camping spot.

363
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:09.640
It was overlooking a It was overlooking like a valley.

364
00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:12.039
That's the best way to put Yeah, it was a valley.

365
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:17.319
You had literally mountains on all sides, and you drive

366
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:22.440
in through. There's some tight narrow spots where you're literally

367
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:25.720
having to look at your window just to make sure

368
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:28.480
that you're not putting your tire over the edge. You know,

369
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:34.039
that's how tired it was. But yeah, anybody driving past

370
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.400
and just to give from the dirt road back to

371
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:39.720
where I was at, that was about another thirty minutes,

372
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:43.000
twenty thirty minutes just to get to that spot. Yeah,

373
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:45.279
it's out there. It was definitely out there.

374
00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:50.960
That sounds to me that there is no possible logical

375
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:54.960
way that there was supposed to be another person out

376
00:19:55.440 --> 00:20:00.440
walking around your truck. There's no no way overgrown, oh,

377
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.079
no road that no one else knows is there. It's

378
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:06.359
hard to get out there, dude.

379
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:12.079
Wow, definitely not. Yeah, I definitely not. Like I said,

380
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:13.799
I used to spend a lot of time out there.

381
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:17.839
I was maybe I was about twenty five years old

382
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:18.440
at the time.

383
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:20.559
Like I said, I used to spend a lot of

384
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:21.039
time out there.

385
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:22.599
I used to be like on my days off, my

386
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.319
days off or my weeks off of work, that's where

387
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:27.680
I was at when I was not working.

388
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:28.519
That was my spot.

389
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:30.720
That was where I was at, and I spent a

390
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:33.440
lot of time out there, and all the time that

391
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.799
I'd spent out there, that was really the only incident

392
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:40.880
or only time that I had that.

393
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:43.319
Experience out there in that specific area.

394
00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:46.480
Yeah, and obviously you can tell, and I didn't have

395
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:49.000
any firearms or anything, so you can only imagine how

396
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:50.519
terrifying that was.

397
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.400
It was nerve wreaking. Man, it was really nerve wrecking.

398
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.680
So really all you had was your dog for protection,

399
00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:59.640
and at that point your dog was like, dude, you're

400
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:00.880
on your own pretty much.

401
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:03.839
Yeah yeah, oh yeah. Like I said, he was a

402
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:06.640
huge raw waller. That dog wasn't afraid of nothing. And

403
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:09.319
I think whatever was outside of that truck that night

404
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:11.960
like even broke that dog's spirit.

405
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:17.160
You know, that dog after I don't want nothing to

406
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:20.119
do with it. Absolutely.

407
00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:23.839
And you also had another thing now I'm looking at

408
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:27.559
my notes, is your fire was out, So that's another

409
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:32.200
thing that you could have potentially used to protect yourself.

410
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:35.119
You could have grabbed a stick that was on fire,

411
00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:37.200
something I charge at you. But that was out So

412
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:38.400
that was out of the question too.

413
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:40.759
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was out of the question. Yeah.

414
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:43.839
Because what's funny about the whole situation, or that whole

415
00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:47.240
situation was was, like I said, I heard what sounded

416
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:51.440
like a woman's scream or whatever. And before that, before

417
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:56.319
I had decided to bet down for the night, like

418
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:56.880
I had.

419
00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:59.799
To feel like something's watching me, you know what I mean.

420
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.119
And most of the time, when you have that feeling

421
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:05.319
that something is watching you, most of the time you're right.

422
00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:10.240
And I had that feeling that night, before that, before

423
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:13.920
all that ever took place, I just had this feeling

424
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:16.000
like and like I said, I've been after I don't

425
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:20.119
know how many times, and just that night it was

426
00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:25.319
like it was a very eerie It was a very eerie,

427
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:30.119
uncomfortable film. And I for the longest before I better

428
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:31.920
down that I had this feeling that.

429
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:34.240
You know, something, something's out there, something's watching me.

430
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:38.039
But then I'm telling myself, before all that happened, I'm

431
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:40.799
telling myself, all you're just freaking out, you're just tripping,

432
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:44.279
you're out here alone, you're just you're being a whimp whatever,

433
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:47.480
And lo and behold, all of a sudden that that

434
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:50.279
stuff happens, and I'm thinking, my God, that my feeling

435
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:50.759
was right.

436
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:54.680
Whatever I was feeling. I was spot on about whatever

437
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:56.279
it was that I was feeling.

438
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.279
So absolutely, and it's best when you get a feeling

439
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:04.759
like that to definitely pay attention to it, especially in yeah,

440
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:08.519
situations like this and just some listeners might need to

441
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:11.400
be your minded. He didn't have a cell phone at

442
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:14.799
this time, I mean, this is twenty years ago.

443
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:20.160
Yeah, yeah, not only that, but even back then, even

444
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:20.759
if you did.

445
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:22.279
Have a cell phone. I believe I did have a.

446
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:26.160
Cell phone, but the cell phone service out that far,

447
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.920
at least back then, was very choppy service. You were

448
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:33.359
lucky to have service if you even had.

449
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:34.200
Your cell phone on you.

450
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:38.079
Absolutely, I imagine now cell phone service is really good in

451
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:42.039
the area like that, But back then, even if you

452
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:44.559
had your cell phone, no, you don't even plan on

453
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:46.759
having internet or anything out.

454
00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:50.720
There, so pretty much you were on your own during

455
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:51.799
that situation.

456
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:51.839
On your own.

457
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:55.160
Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, yeah, absolutely.

458
00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:58.720
Any of these areas that you've had things happen, have

459
00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:03.039
you ever gone and look to see if there are

460
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.599
things on the web about other people having situations happened

461
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:08.480
in the same areas.

462
00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:12.799
That's funny that you bring that up, So that that

463
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:14.039
was what, like I.

464
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:17.680
Said, when I had when I was listening to that.

465
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:19.599
Like I said, I don't I can't remember if it

466
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:23.240
was a thing about David Plotti's or whatever. But when

467
00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:25.799
I was listening to that podcast four or five years

468
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:29.359
ago or whatever it was, and they were talking about

469
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:33.440
their what they the research that they've done about bigfoot,

470
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:38.440
when their characteristics and stuff like that, I it literally

471
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:40.759
the person that I was listening to, like I said,

472
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:44.880
their experience totally reminded me of my experience from from

473
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:46.759
back when I was five or six years old.

474
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:52.440
And I literally I didn't even know this until that,

475
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:55.240
but I thought, I wonder if there's a website where

476
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:59.480
they record bigfoot settings. Lo in the whole I ended

477
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:03.680
up and finding a website where they actually record that

478
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:04.920
kind of stuff.

479
00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:10.039
And lo and behold again they around.

480
00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:13.759
That time, nineteen eighty two, nineteen eighty three Dollar Ground, Washington,

481
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:17.960
they actually did have if I remember, it was only

482
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.200
one bigfoot setting. So it's weird that I had that

483
00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:27.839
experience in the same time frame that somebody else had

484
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:31.440
that experience. So I'm really glad that you had mentioned

485
00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:34.759
that or asked me that, because, yeah, if you look

486
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:37.640
in that time frame whatever, I can't remember what website

487
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:39.799
it was at this point, but if you look at

488
00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:44.119
that time frame that I had had my experience, there

489
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:45.720
was actually a sighting out there.

490
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.680
Going back to that battleground sighting that you had. So

491
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:53.680
you mentioned a few things where you know, you had

492
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:58.359
seen the shoulder with you'd seen the arm, the hair

493
00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:00.519
hanging off of the arm. And I know you're you

494
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.480
know this five six years old, so very long time ago,

495
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:08.519
but did you happen to remember seeing any other details

496
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:10.000
about the creature besides that.

497
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:19.039
I remember barely seeing that thing's face at that young

498
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:21.079
of an age. I just thought I was looking at

499
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:23.200
a really big guy, you know what I mean, because

500
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:26.519
it was popping its head out from behind the tree,

501
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:29.079
and I thought I was just looking at a really

502
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:32.359
hairy guy. And that's that's exactly what I told my

503
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:35.200
dad and his friend, Hey, there's somebody out there watching

504
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:36.160
me and the other kids.

505
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:38.599
And they ended up going and.

506
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:40.960
I followed them out there to where I had seen

507
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:43.039
it to point out, hey, that's where it was at

508
00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:46.960
type of thing, And I remember watching them walk up

509
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:49.200
and telling them, hey, it's behind the tree, or it

510
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:53.440
was behind that tree. And I remember watching them walk

511
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:58.400
up to where that thing was at and I remember,

512
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:02.720
because I was looking at the a branch where its

513
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:04.759
d that his head went up to it.

514
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:06.720
There was a branch. There was a branch a little

515
00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:08.160
right about that thing's head.

516
00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:11.200
So that's how I was able to size it up,

517
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:14.960
you see what I'm saying. So when my dad and

518
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:19.039
that guy walked up, and I'm seeing how small they are,

519
00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:23.960
and they was, they weren't as white as they were,

520
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:26.480
Like if they stood against that tree, or if they

521
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:27.480
were standing behind the.

522
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:30.160
Tree, you wouldn't have even known they were there. That's

523
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:31.200
how big that tree was.

524
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:36.799
And that things shoulders was literally protruding out from both

525
00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:39.359
sides of the tree. And I remember my dad and

526
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:41.839
him walking up, and I'm thinking, I think it was

527
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:42.920
a lot bigger than you guys.

528
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:44.039
What are you guys going to do?

529
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:47.400
Whatever a five year old thinks at that age is

530
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:48.240
what I was thinking.

531
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:49.039
They didn't even.

532
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:53.799
Usually a kid, when their dad is doing something or

533
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:56.599
when an adult they trust is doing something that they

534
00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:59.640
know that they're going to protect them, usually that child

535
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:06.000
will full protected. But I remember thinking, like, you guys

536
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:07.720
are nowhere near the size of that guy.

537
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:10.640
Like, you guys are a whole lot smaller than that guy.

538
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:13.039
And that's what I was thinking, because I'd never seen

539
00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:15.960
a guy that big, right, And so that's the Yeah,

540
00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:17.480
that's where my mind was at that time.

541
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:21.200
Do you remember a color to it at all?

542
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:24.160
Yes, I do. It was.

543
00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:26.559
I remember it like it was yesterday. How do you

544
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:29.880
describe the color? And I'm a painter, So it was

545
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:33.359
like a brown. It was like an amber brown. It

546
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:38.440
was like a brown amber reddish color. That's the best

547
00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:39.759
way I know how to put it to you. But

548
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:42.960
I'm sorry. If I could give you a better description,

549
00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:46.319
I would. But I do remember it being a brown

550
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:49.759
with a reddishness to it. If you understand what I'm

551
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:52.039
trying to tell you, or if you understand the color

552
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:52.480
I'm trying to.

553
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:55.799
Tell I absolutely do, because it's that's used a lot

554
00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:00.480
that kind of Yeah, absolutely, I totally get it. You said,

555
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:04.079
so the head was peeking around the tree. Were you

556
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:06.000
able to see it maybe a shape to the head

557
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:07.720
at all?

558
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:09.000
Yeah? Yeah, it was.

559
00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:12.119
Oh man, I'm not good at descriptions, dude. I'm so sorry.

560
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:14.880
The best way I know how to put it. I

561
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:19.880
remember thinking he looked like a monkey. That's literally how

562
00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:22.359
I remember describing what the.

563
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:24.640
Guy looked like to my dad was he looked like

564
00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:25.119
a monkey.

565
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:30.240
Aside from that, I don't remember much of anything else

566
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:35.119
to like the description. I just remember thinking that he

567
00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:38.720
was very big, very mean, and scary looking. That's all

568
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:41.480
I remember. And the fact that it looked like an

569
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:46.039
ape man. That's yeah. Do you doing the best I

570
00:29:46.039 --> 00:29:47.000
can hear for you?

571
00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:46.880
Oh?

572
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:49.839
No, you're doing absolutely great, Especially since it was a

573
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:54.079
very long time ago. Do you remember the particular things

574
00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:58.200
that made you think that it was mean or scary

575
00:29:58.400 --> 00:29:59.079
at that time?

576
00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:04.559
Just the fact that we lived out in the woods

577
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:08.440
like way on the outskirts of battle ground, knowing that

578
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:13.160
they're like, you know, where we were at. There was

579
00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:17.680
no other houses, and people don't just go trotting onto

580
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:20.240
other people's properties like that, at least at that time

581
00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:20.799
they didn't.

582
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:23.880
That's a good way to get shot. And as I

583
00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:26.359
played out in the woods I don't know how many times,

584
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:27.480
and it was a safe area.

585
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:30.720
You didn't have to worry about people just going around

586
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:34.519
out there, and Battleground Washington, you didn't have to worry

587
00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:36.839
about that type of a thing back then, just people

588
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:39.839
going scoping out properties or whatever.

589
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:43.440
That crime out there was pretty much gnaw at that time.

590
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:49.559
Absolutely. And one more question, did you get a feeling

591
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:52.559
at all as to how tall it probably was?

592
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:58.880
I would say, if I remember correctly.

593
00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:01.440
In fact, you know, after I listened to that podcast,

594
00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:05.720
I went to try to find that property that we

595
00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:09.039
were living on a few years back, trying to find it.

596
00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:11.640
I couldn't remember which one it was. I was wanting

597
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:13.160
to go see that tree.

598
00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:15.200
As a man now, I was wanting to go see

599
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:17.759
that just so I could get an idea of how

600
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:21.440
big that thing was. And I couldn't find the property.

601
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:23.759
For the life of me. I remember about where it

602
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:26.920
was at. I just couldn't remember exactly where it was at.

603
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:29.960
But I would have to say, I would think ten feet.

604
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.920
That's my best guess for you, Yeah, that's my best guess.

605
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:40.240
And this thing I would say, I would say as

606
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:42.880
for the shoulder with, I would say at least a

607
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:45.960
good four or five feet shoulder with something about right.

608
00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:47.599
That's yeah.

609
00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:50.759
As white as that tree was, Like I said, that

610
00:31:50.839 --> 00:31:55.720
was a big tree. And if I remember correctly, it

611
00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:57.480
had to have been about to get four or five

612
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:01.680
foot shoulder to it, which that's you think about four

613
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:04.240
or five foot shoulder with that's whatever?

614
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:05.200
That thing is huge?

615
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:10.960
Oh it's a massive animal or creature or have you

616
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:14.240
ever thought of that too? Do you think where you

617
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:18.200
were looking more at a giant ape or maybe some

618
00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:23.240
relative of human or have you ever thought about that before?

619
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:28.200
No, I've never really never really thought about it. I've

620
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:33.359
always wondered if those things are I've always wondered if

621
00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:36.839
those things are relative to the to the epe or

622
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:41.720
primate species or whatever. But no, that's not something that

623
00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:45.240
I've ever really much thought about. I've always just wanted

624
00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:49.680
to know what it is. That's that's always been my

625
00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:53.240
curiosity is just just to know what that thing might be,

626
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:54.440
or what it is or whatever.

627
00:32:56.359 --> 00:32:59.079
Yeah, I hear you on that. It would be great

628
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:03.279
to get some solid information, and I think we might

629
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:08.400
get there someday. Yeah, I hope I would also. I

630
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:10.680
would love to someday have a sighting. I think if

631
00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:13.640
I keep going out to the Pacific Northwest that'll probably

632
00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:14.519
happen eventually.

633
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:18.559
But yeah, Dean, I just.

634
00:33:18.519 --> 00:33:20.799
Want to say thank you for taking some time to

635
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:25.240
share what you've experienced over the years, would if you

636
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:29.079
had the chance to, would you ever want to experience

637
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:32.799
any of anything like these situations again?

638
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:34.960
Oh?

639
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:39.720
Yeah, absolutely absolutely, I would totally. In fact, that's always

640
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:48.119
been a big It's funny because as terrifying as that

641
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:54.319
situation is, there's still that curiosity there. Of God, I

642
00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:56.920
want to experience that again. I want to see that again,

643
00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:03.480
or I want to hear that again, because it's just

644
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.480
there's the need to want to know. There's the need

645
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:11.199
to want to like I guess that's just human nature

646
00:34:11.239 --> 00:34:13.719
to want to discover something new or whatever.

647
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:15.320
Yeah.

648
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:18.559
No, I think you're right. It's one of the last

649
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:24.000
mysteries that in the uap UFO thing. But I think

650
00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:27.119
it's one of the last mysteries we have in a

651
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:31.159
world that is so knowledge and information bombards us all

652
00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:34.880
over the place, and yet there's this one thing that

653
00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:37.159
we just can't get the answers to and I think

654
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:39.440
it drives I think it drives us all crazy.

655
00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:45.599
Maybe. And one things, Oh yeah, yeah, same here, same here.

656
00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:49.199
One thing I wanted to bring up to you because

657
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:52.159
I think it was your show. There's a couple of

658
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:55.519
different podcasts listen to that deal with this that deal

659
00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:59.119
with this subject, and I think it was your show,

660
00:34:59.320 --> 00:34:59.639
but I.

661
00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:03.679
Apologize if it wasn't. But I do remember the host

662
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:07.199
asking the person that was on the show if they

663
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:10.159
were Native American, and they said, yeah, I've got such

664
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:13.239
and such a Native American amy And he said, that's

665
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:19.599
really strange because a majority of the sightings that people are,

666
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:23.960
the people that are have these experiences are Native American,

667
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:28.840
which I thought was really strange when I heard that,

668
00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:32.400
because I have Cherokee and Blackfoot. I'm Cherokee on my

669
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:35.159
dad's side and then I'm Blackfoot.

670
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:38.880
On my mom's side. So for me to have heard that,

671
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:41.840
I was thinking, that's strange. I'm part Native Americans, what's

672
00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:43.599
up with that? I just thought that was a really

673
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:48.800
interesting question that a podcaster had asked that person. Yeah,

674
00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:50.400
I'm baffled by it.

675
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:53.079
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was me. I think I

676
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:56.639
know exactly which one you're talking about. And it's not

677
00:35:56.719 --> 00:35:59.280
a thing to say that, like you can't have a

678
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:04.639
sighting unless you have that. But it's just it is

679
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:08.280
a commonality that I've started to notice through my interviews,

680
00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:12.039
which is a lot of people something will come up

681
00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:15.760
where they have a Native American background, and even on

682
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:18.320
top of that a large amount, say, is something to

683
00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:24.719
do with Cherokee as well. And then there's yeah, there's

684
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:29.000
just some interesting details. There's another detail I've noticed a

685
00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:32.960
certain sometimes it comes out as certain blood types. I

686
00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:37.480
think it's really our negative. Yeah, it's just it's very interesting.

687
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:42.119
But I think that anyone can have an encounter, and

688
00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:45.239
it all comes down to what your motivation is, what

689
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:48.400
your mindset, if you've got the right the word escape

690
00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:51.440
me escapes me. If you're the right I don't want

691
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:53.360
to say right type of person, but the right type

692
00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:54.880
of heart, I guess is one way to say it

693
00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:56.239
is another way to see it.

694
00:36:56.719 --> 00:37:00.199
Just it's escaping right now. But man, Dean, I think

695
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:02.440
you could be open to that kind of a thing exactly.

696
00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:05.480
Yes, that is exactly what I'm trying to say. You

697
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:08.000
hit it on the head. You do have to be

698
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:12.320
open to a wide variety of things. If not, you're

699
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:13.840
probably going to look right past it.

700
00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:15.760
But absolutely, Yeah.

701
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:17.400
Dian, it was a pleasure having you come on the

702
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:20.320
show to I'm glad you're able to come on and

703
00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:23.400
share a few different times in your life where you

704
00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:27.440
experience something out of the ordinary. Out there in Washington,

705
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:29.000
and thank you so much for coming on.

706
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:34.159
Man. Yes, thank you so much for taking the time

707
00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:35.679
to hear my story. Man.

708
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:39.119
Like I said, like I told you before, I've never

709
00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:41.480
really had a platform to be able to tell what

710
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:43.159
I've seen or heard, and I thought it was just

711
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:45.480
really cool. You give them somebody a platform to do that.

712
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:48.519
You're a big for Society. Art goal is to provide

713
00:37:48.639 --> 00:37:52.800

714
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:56.639
their encounter and a safe and respected environment. But we

715
00:37:56.760 --> 00:38:00.159

716
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:05.079
