Season 1

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Jay shares a chilling series of firsthand Bigfoot encounters tied to his family’s multi-generation property in northeast Alabama, near Talladega National Forest and Bankhead National Forest. What began as unexplained damage to chicken houses quickly escalated into the violent death of a horse, strange activity in the woods, and sightings described by multiple family members spanning decades.


Jay recounts terrifying experiences involving missing livestock, twisted animal remains, shadowy figures in the tree line, tree knocks, and a face-to-face encounter with a large, hairy creature watching from behind a tree. His grandmother’s account of a seven-to-eight-foot tall hairy man near her garden adds to the growing pattern of activity on the property.


The story doesn’t stop in Alabama. Jay also shares his father’s disturbing Bigfoot encounter in Washington State, near Snoqualmie Pass, where a massive dark figure shook a semi-truck in the middle of the night before approaching the cab.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.120
You're listening to BIGFA Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.879
this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring

3
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.720
you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen

4
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.880
something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to

5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.719
quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.719
and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.

7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:21.320
These are the.

8
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.800
Voices of the people who've lived it. To settle in,

9
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.359
because today you'll hear another account that just might change

10
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.199
the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us,

11
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:33.119
all right, pick for Society. You've got the privilege of

12
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:35.719
talking to Jay today. Jay's a listener of the show.

13
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.240
We got connected. He reached out through email and he's

14
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.560
an outdoorsman from the Southeast. But he's got a few

15
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:47.119
stories and accounts to share today from both sides of

16
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:47.719
the US.

17
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:48.920
So welcome to the show.

18
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:49.200
Jay.

19
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:51.679
How are you doing, sir, I'm good.

20
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:52.479
Thanks for having me.

21
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:58.520
Absolutely, we were just having a time starting this interview.

22
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:01.520
I'm going to mention that just in case I was

23
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:05.560
hitting the record button, then it wouldn't work, so it's probably.

24
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.400
I just need a new recording board, but you never know.

25
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.719
So Jay, let's go ahead, and I want to make

26
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.239
sure you have the time to share what you've got

27
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.640
going on. We'll chat about it and all that good stuff,

28
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.640
so you know, feel free to take us back when

29
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.799
things started happening for you and any background info that

30
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:24.599
we might need to know.

31
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.040
Okay, Yeah, So I guess I'll start off kind of

32
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.400
with the background of it, so there's there's a basis

33
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:37.959
for everything. I grew up in northeast Alabama, small area, Whitesborough,

34
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:44.680
town of Artists. My grandfather bought some property there. I

35
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.159
think it's like forty seven forty eight acres as approximately

36
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.959
what he bought. He bought it after he returned from Vietnam.

37
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.120
Actually he was a Vietnam vet. Bought the property and

38
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.120
that's where he married my grandmother. They started a family.

39
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.560
They had my father, a couple aunts, two aunts, and

40
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.920
an uncle. Some of the things that I guess i'll

41
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.199
bring up it's some things that have happened through my

42
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:15.879
aunts and uncle's life as well. But yeah, that's kind

43
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.840
of the backstory on the property. So in this area

44
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:23.039
of Alabama, it's real big for like chicken houses, long

45
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.719
long chicken houses not as wide but really long is

46
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.960
typically what you'll see there. And these these chicken houses

47
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.719
can house anywhere two hundred to five hundred chickens at

48
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:38.680
a time. We had two chicken houses growing up. We

49
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.520
had probably about eight maybe nine horses, some cattle, and

50
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:48.439
some goats, and then we had a garden natural BlackBerry,

51
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:55.560
muscadon vines, BlackBerry bushes. The property itself, i'd say maybe

52
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.439
eight or nine acres of it is cleared land where

53
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.439
the chicken houses set, the horse stables, the house, and

54
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.360
then the garden, and then the remainder of the property

55
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:10.639
is wooded. The first, the first time I ever I

56
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.680
ever really felt anything strange, It was the summer. It

57
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.240
was I was nine or ten. During the summer we

58
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.080
would help my grandfather take care of the chicken houses.

59
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.439
Me and my brother would And part of that is,

60
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.800
you know, going in and inspecting them and clearing pat

61
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:31.560
deceased chickens out, things like that. So routine once every

62
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:33.680
week we'd go. We rolled the four wheeler up to

63
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:37.719
the chicken house and I immediately noticed and I pointed

64
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.199
out to my brother, Hey, look at the back of

65
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.639
the chicken house. It was kind of far away because

66
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:43.800
the chicken house is cut one hundred feet at least,

67
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.759
but you could see the paneling at the back side

68
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:48.919
of the chicken house was like flapping off in the

69
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.400
wind and like hanging off the side. So we drove

70
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.120
the four wheeler down there and look and yeah, I

71
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.319
mean it was like ripped off the side of the

72
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.960
chicken house. So we turn around, go back get my grandpa,

73
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.280
tell him, hey, come out here, fix this. It's ripped open.

74
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:07.719
So we go out there. Back out there with my grandfather,

75
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:09.479
me and my brother. He says, going there, you know,

76
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.439
clear the chickens out, inspect it, see if anything else

77
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:17.480
is messed up. And uh, I remember too, I'll never

78
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.600
forget when he when he went up to this hole.

79
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:21.959
I mean, my grandfather, he was a tall man. He

80
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:26.079
was probably six four six', five and this this paneling

81
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.680
was the bottom of where it was ripped, open was

82
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.399
at his forehead, Level SO i mean it was ripped

83
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.519
open pretty high, up and you, know he started nailing

84
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.639
it back, up AND i just thought it was pretty

85
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:41.000
odd because when he did the inventory several weeks, LATER

86
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.360
i remember at the dinner table him telling my grandmother

87
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.279
that they were missing like forty chickens out of the.

88
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.120
Batch now some of, those you, know happens with the deceased,

89
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.439
chickens but you try to keep count of, those you

90
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:56.560
know WHAT i. Mean so it was just odd to.

91
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.319
Me and and the way like his body language he

92
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.519
was when he when he saw that it was ripped,

93
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.560
open he started nawling it back, up and he just

94
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.639
was like on. Edge you could. TELL i could feel

95
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:10.759
the vibe that he was giving. Off and come to

96
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:12.600
find out talking to my dad that that type of

97
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.879
thing happened pretty often around that, farm ripped open animal

98
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:18.720
pins and stuff like, That but this is the only

99
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.360
instance of that THAT i first hand had an encounter.

100
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:26.120
With as far AS i didn't notice any tracks or,

101
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.759
BLOOD i MEAN i WAS i was. NINE i just

102
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.680
thought maybe the wind blew it. Off but my grandfather

103
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.160
he seemed to kind of act like something was. Strange

104
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:39.920
and THEN i too specifically remember about this. Event we

105
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.279
were instructed by him to avoid that chicken house for

106
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.160
a week or, two AND i didn't understand, it and

107
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.639
it made me and my brother mad because then there

108
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:49.920
was that many more chickens that we had to clear,

109
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:54.240
out you, Know but that was the that was the

110
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.560
first instance of my childhood or something just strange and

111
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:03.399
and had occurred THAT i couldn't really, explain, like, yes

112
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.839
it was this or it was. That, ESPECIALLY i mean

113
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.879
this was thick tin metal and my grandfather used long.

114
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.439
SCREWS i mean it was screwed in, there and for

115
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.839
it to be ripped off like, that in my opinion

116
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:19.120
and my thought process looking, back something tall had to

117
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.040
have ripped that. Back and then for us to be

118
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:26.240
forty five forty chickens, short it just it didn't add,

119
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:31.360
up you. Know and THEN i guess the second AND

120
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:37.240
i would say, THAT i would say that that was

121
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.319
a big. Foot we were missing. Chickens and then with

122
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.040
the other stories That i've heard from my grandfather and

123
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.480
my first hand experiences That i've had on this, FARM

124
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.720
i think something tall came and ripped that chicken house

125
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:54.279
open and took handfuls of chickens out of. There and

126
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:56.959
THEN i, guess, Yeah SO i Guess i'll move on

127
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:01.600
to the second. Occurrence this maybe happened and a week

128
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.240
week and a half after The may and my brother

129
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:10.040
found the hole in the chicken. Houses every few days

130
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:11.879
we would let our horses out the pasture because we

131
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.519
had we had that eight ten acre clearing and it

132
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.319
was fenced, in and then the outer perimeter of our

133
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.839
property was also fenced with barbar fence. Line so we

134
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.519
would let them out of the. Stables they had like

135
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:26.680
maybe you know a little pin outside of the, stables

136
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.920
but they didn't they couldn't get out stretch their legs running.

137
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.920
Around so we let them out to. Pasture and at

138
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.079
the far corner of the property where the opening the

139
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:41.319
clearing the land was. Cleared it was kind of like

140
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:45.079
down a hill a little. Bit so if you're standing

141
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:46.680
from on the front porch of the, house you can't

142
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.120
see the corner fence post of that of the property over.

143
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:50.399
There you could see all the way over, there but

144
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:55.040
you just couldn't see the corner fence. Posts and so

145
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:56.839
we LIKE i, was LIKE i was, saying we'd let

146
00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.720
our horses, out you, know let them out to pasture

147
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.160
gray and we would try to like bring them out

148
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.439
and they bring them back towards the, house put them

149
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.600
in the pen around their stables in the, evenings AND

150
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:12.079
i remember it was getting dark that night we were

151
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:14.279
rounding up the. Horses it was getting dark and we

152
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:17.639
were one horse short and we, looked we, looked we,

153
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.560
checked we rode all the fence, lines could not find the.

154
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.040
Horse so we kind of just, well we hope she's,

155
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.839
okay we'll see her in the. Morning and we we

156
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.279
even looked the next, day we couldn't find. Her and

157
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.919
Then i'll REMEMBER i remember a few days a few days,

158
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.720
later probably three or four days, later my brother he was.

159
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:38.039
Fishing he came back to the house AND i mean

160
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.519
he was, screaming, yelling crying from my grandpa saying that

161
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.519
he had found that. Horse her name Was. Cocus so

162
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:50.080
my grandfather, he, uh he grabbed my brother, up grabbed me.

163
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:53.639
Up we rode out there and, uh i' ever it

164
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:55.480
was it was, Odd so we had to go through a.

165
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.440
Gate it was in the, woods but there was like

166
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.519
sweet grass kind of on the on the floor of the.

167
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:04.120
Woods and there was a clearing in this in this

168
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:10.919
particular part of our, property maybe thirteen fourteen feet round

169
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:14.679
like circle where there was no, trees and it was,

170
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:16.919
natural you, know it'd be a tree here or. There

171
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.840
it wasn't man made or. Anything but when we get,

172
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:23.279
there it was the oddest. Thing it was like the

173
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.639
grass that was growing on the forest floor the rest

174
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:29.679
of it all around this area was like sticky Straight

175
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:31.879
it was growing straight up, healthy but this grass was

176
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.919
like matted down flat in this in this, opening like

177
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:39.480
almost like someone had taken a scythe or something and cut,

178
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.519
it cut it back and flattened it. Out and off

179
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.960
in the corner of this little circle kind of if

180
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.240
you think about like the two o'clock position of what

181
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:51.039
would be a. Clock at the edge of the circle

182
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:55.120
was this horse Cocus and we kind of started walking

183
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.080
up to. Her we got about ten feet and my

184
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.559
grandfather made me and my brother. Stop he could tell

185
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:02.600
when we could already tell from that distance it wasn't.

186
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:09.320
Good she was. Dead her neck was like twisted and,

187
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.440
SORRY i was getting a phone. Call her neck was,

188
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:19.559
twisted and her stomach WAS i don't know if it's

189
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.360
okay to get, graphic but her stomach was kind of ripped.

190
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:27.240
Open it almost looked like the horse was ripped almost in.

191
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:31.720
Half and then she had a large large piece of

192
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.000
meat missing from her left rear leg like the hind.

193
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.919
Quarter my, Grandfather i'll never, forget he was looking, around

194
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.919

get out of here now and turn around and grabbed.

226
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:21.679
Us and that's that's about that part of the story

227
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.000
as far as my first hand experience with with a

228
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:34.399
dead farm. Animal, man he LIKE i, said, strong strong war,

231
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:43.399
were trembling when we when we had gotten back.

232
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.879
Far what you told, ME i mean it is that is.

233
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:53.360
Wild taking an account the area where this, is BECAUSE i,

234
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.240
mean if you look on a, map it's like Between

235
00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:00.200
Talladega National forest And Bankhead National, forest which are both

236
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:05.559
crazy bigfoot spots In. Alabama and then, ALSO i, MEAN

237
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.240
i KNOW i THINK i say this, wrong but is

238
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:12.120

00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:32.159
just extremely. INTERESTING I, mean you've got stuff happening all

245
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:34.879
over the. Place but the thing that really sticks out

246
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:41.799
in that account is that had a twisted, neck and

247
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:44.320

248
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:46.360

then a few seconds later that log came through the.

325
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:58.759
Window the only other. Instance i'm trying to think AND

326
00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.359
i wrote some things down of the second hand, encounter

327
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:07.079
SO i didn't get details. Wrong oh, yeah my. Grandmother

328
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.359
so my grandfather moved, they LIKE i, said in like mid,

329
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:14.559
seventies right After. Vietnam he bought that, property met my,

330
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:21.440
grandmother they got. Married my grandmother she she planted muscadon

331
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:24.759
vine some of them were, natural but she set up

332
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:29.240
posts for them and, things and transplanted some BlackBerry bushes

333
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.720
so they were closer to the, house and then they

334
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:34.400
tilled a. Garden that was one of the first things

335
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:37.799
my grandfather did was till maybe half an acre. Garden

336
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:44.000
and my grandmother told me that before before the property

337
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:46.599
looked the way it. Did the tree, line the way

338
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:51.640
the property was. Set the garden is between the stables

339
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:53.960
and the, house but the stables weren't there, yet nothing

340
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:56.400
in the tree. Line it came up to the house

341
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:59.200
about or to the edge of where they tilled that,

342
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:03.599
garden rather maybe fifty hundred feet if she had to.

343
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.440
Guess it's been so long and that wood's cleared back,

344
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:08.599
now so there's no way to get an accurate measurement

345
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:12.000
of how far. Away she told me she would be

346
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.039
out in the. Garden there was a few, instances you,

347
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:17.799
know She'd i'd feel, WEIRD i feel like almost like

348
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:19.839
something was watching. Me and she said she'd look up

349
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.240
and she'd see dark figures in the woods looking at,

350
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:27.559
her and she'd get scared and go. Inside she had

351
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:30.799
an instance where she was out in the garden pulling,

352
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.400
weeds and she said she would hear it would sound

353
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:38.000
like something would be charging through the, woods coming towards,

354
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:39.559
her and then it would. Stop she's, like the sound

355
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:41.720
would stop right at the, woodline AND i would never see.

356
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:46.920
Anything so she, said this particular, instance she got scared

357
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:51.279
and went. Inside she started looking, outside looking at the tree,

358
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:55.279
line and she said she saw a tall seven eight

359
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.759
foot Harry man standing there looking at, her standing next

360
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:02.799
to a. TREE i guess that's what you would call

361
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:07.440
a bluff. CHARGE i don't, know but she seems to

362
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:09.920
think they liked her garden because you, know we'd grow

363
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:14.000
two three rows of cornstalks green, beans and there'd be,

364
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:16.680
times even in my, childhood we'd go out there help

365
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:18.920
my grandmother pull weeds or whatever and a cornstalker two

366
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.279
would be, missing or a whole green bean bush would be.

367
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:24.440
Missing so she seems to think that they were trying

368
00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:26.759
to scare her off the. Food is what she would

369
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:32.880
is what she the way she put. It the only

370
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:37.200
Other i'm trying to think if there was any other

371
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:44.480
instances of second hand. Accounts, yeah, yeah SO i wrote

372
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:47.160
this one down that my dad and brother HAD i

373
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:50.079
had talked to, him talk to me about. This my

374
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:53.000
dad had told my brother and then my brother was

375
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:54.880
talking to me about, it so my dad come and

376
00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:58.480
shared the encounter with. Me they were repairing fence. Lines

377
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:02.000
they and my dad an. Uncle they said it was

378
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:05.119
odd to they would they would fix a fence line

379
00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:07.680
and a week later the barbed wire would be snipped

380
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:14.519
like wide. Open and we've talked to my granddad before he,

381
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:17.119
passed and my dad at that, time the closest neighbor

382
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:19.720
was like four or five miles, away and it would

383
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:23.519
be at the back corner of the fence. Line and

384
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:26.480
right there, too where the property, is there's a bluff

385
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:29.839
maybe a mile half a mile from the end of

386
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:32.440
the property, line there's a, bluff it drops. Down we're

387
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:34.039
kind of right, there kind of on top of a,

388
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:36.559
mountain and then it drops down into The gadsden. Area

389
00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:41.960
they would be on the back edge of the. PROPERTY i,

390
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:44.640
mean there's nothing out. There it's seven eight miles before

391
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:48.880
you get to a. Highway you, know there'd be sniffed

392
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:54.720
wires and snipped barbed. Wire but he said in, particular

393
00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:57.440
this one, instance they were stringing up barbed wire or

394
00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:59.720
something snipped at, whatever and it was really thick wooded.

395
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:04.480
Brush my dad and my grandfather were fixing the fence,

396
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:08.359
line stretching the barb wire. Back my dad said he

397
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:12.640
was maybe, seventeen sixteen seventeen at the. Time all he

398
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:14.359
wanted to do was go hang out with his. Friends

399
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.119
i'll never. Forget he told me that he didn't want

400
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:17.920
to be. There he wanted to go to town and hang.

401
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.880
Out but they were stringing up the fence, line and

402
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:25.839
he said the line would bounce like something down the

403
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:28.440
fence line touched, it and they'd look left and look

404
00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:30.400
right down the fence line and they never seen, anything

405
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.880
and then bounce. Again he said they'd keep looking and

406
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:35.640
when they get back to, work he, said the third

407
00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:37.480
time it, bounced he. Looked my dad looked to the

408
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.200
right and about sixty seventy feet away there was he's

409
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:44.319
seen a black hand shoot back into a. Bush he

410
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:46.559
said it looked like a. Hand he saw two fingers

411
00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:48.799
and maybe would look look it looked like a. Thumb

412
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:53.359
but he said it was. Dark the hand was. Dark

413
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:57.240
it was daylight. Outside and he, said after he's seen,

414
00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:59.400
that he turned around and started looking left and, right

415
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:02.519
like bobing his head left and right to try and

416
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.240
see if he could see around the bushes or the

417
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:07.519
trees and it. Ended it never it never happened. Again

418
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.359
they finished stretching out the barb wire and attaching it

419
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:16.759
to the fence, posts but he specifically remembers something. Plucked

420
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:19.559
something down the line was plucking the barb wire the,

421
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:22.720
top middle, end the bottom, row just different. Ones and

422
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:24.440
then when he would they would, look there'd be nothing.

423
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:26.480
There and then that third or fourth time he, looked

424
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.319
he saw a black hand reaching from the fence line

425
00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:32.440
back into a bush like it had just something had

426
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:41.000
just plucked. It. Uh other than, THAT i can't really

427
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:44.319
think of any second hand. ENCOUNTERS i, mean my grandfather

428
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.839
he passed in twenty fourteen or twenty, fifteen and a

429
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:52.480
little while before he, passed he kind of sat me

430
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:55.000
and my brother down and with my aunt and my.

431
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:58.680
Uncle's my, aunt my, uncle and my dad sat us

432
00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:01.160
all down and kind of kind of talk to us

433
00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:03.880
about he thinks that there was, something there's something on our.

434
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:07.279
Property and he told us from the time he moved,

435
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:10.680
in there be weird things, happened open gates that he

436
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:17.400
knew he, closed animals going, crazy the things my grandmother.

437
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:21.680
Seen he, said one time he was in the woods

438
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:25.920
and he heard tree knocks around. Him but as far

439
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:29.880
as what that man has laid eyes, on there's no.

440
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:31.960
Telling but he knew there was something out.

441
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:41.519
There my, goodness extremely active. PROPERTY i mean the fact

442
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.400
that your grandmother, saw what she, said an eight foot

443
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:46.000
tall hairy.

444
00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:48.799
Man that is.

445
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:52.839
Incredible and you combine that with the rest of what

446
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:57.640
you just, shared wild wild. Stuff was that in the

447
00:24:57.720 --> 00:24:59.680
nineties as? Well when your grandmother had this?

448
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:03.880
Sight, oh IF i had to, guess she don't remember

449
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:05.920
the exact. Year she said it was soon after they moved,

450
00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:09.319
there so probably early. EIGHTIES i had to.

451
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:16.240
Guess, gotcha is this still in the family's?

452
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:21.359
Possession, yes, yes my grandmother she still lives there the

453
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:24.839

00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:29.759
will that if my grandmother goes, on it still stays

455
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:33.079

456
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:34.960

Possession that's so great to.

459
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:44.119
Hear love when family properties can continue to, stay you,

460
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:48.960
know down down generations like. That what would you say

461
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:56.039
the last the last experience or last out of the

462
00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:00.440
ordinary thing happened on this? Property was what was the

463
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:00.960
last thing that.

464
00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:04.720
Happened, REALLY i.

465
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:08.279
HAVEN'T i haven't heard of. Anything which the way my

466
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:11.480
grandfather was that he was very tight lipped about. Things

467
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:16.079
my uncle moved, away my dad moved, Away me and my,

468
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:19.079
brother we've moved. Away the only people that still are

469
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:22.559
around there are my aunts and my. Grandmother since twenty,

470
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:26.200
fourteen my grandmother is very reluctant to even tell me

471
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:28.519
what she told, us tell us what she told, us

472
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:31.720
and my aunts anytime the subject comes, up they all

473
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:34.279
but leave the. Room they don't like talking about. It

474
00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:38.559
so as if anything has, HAPPENED i probably wouldn't get

475
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:38.880
it out of.

476
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:44.440
Them oh, wow you know this stuff has to stuff

477
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:46.960
is probably still happen and they're just not talking about.

478
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.920
It that's.

479
00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:53.839
Incredible my grandfather and that when he before he, passed you,

480
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:56.680
know we kind of had that little THAT i guess

481
00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:59.119
that pow. Wow you could. Say he shared a lot

482
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:02.880
of information with us about property and and he told

483
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:05.920
us he said there's something out, there and he said

484
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:08.240
he thinks one of them is. Mean he's what he told.

485
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:12.319
Us and there would be times and you know what

486
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:14.400

490
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:25.799
Horse he always did that when we were out in the,

491

woods and we would just, leave AND i never connected

492
00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:30.599
the dots till right now When i've been sitting here

493
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.200
talking to. You but there'd be times he'd be looking

494
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:35.039
around and it looked like he sees something and we.

495
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:38.759
Leave AND i remember one in since in PARTICULARLY i

496
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:40.880
was younger here in this, one maybe six or, seven

497
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:44.000
but we didn't end up, leaving but he kind of

498
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:45.640
just put his gun, away like put it. Down he

499
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:47.720
was ready to shoot all, morning and then he put

500
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:49.720
his gun down and we stayed there maybe another, hour

501
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:50.680
then left.

502
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:52.880
Near.

503
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:56.559
That but that's, Yeah oh, SORRY i.

504
00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:58.240
Was going to, say near the end of his, life

505
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:02.640
was there a did your grandfather ever mention, like you,

506
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:05.640
know please make sure you don't go by this part

507
00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:08.039
of the property or is there ever a part where

508
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:11.799
you felt like you guys really shouldn't go back to that.

509
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:18.079
Area, no not in. Particular the main thing he told

510
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:20.599
me and my, brother especially when we were younger growing,

511
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:24.319
up which you, know snakes and. Stuff we have water

512
00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:28.119
muccasins in Northeast, alabama there's not Really you got some

513
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:30.880
mountain lions and some maybe some black bears come, through

514
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:35.880
but nothing, real no predaceous animals that you would. Fear

515
00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:38.119
but he always told, us you, know always be looking

516
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:40.599
around when you're in the, woods and if it don't feel,

517
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:44.799
right get out of. There and then he specifically harped

518
00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:47.400
on me and my brother don't go in the woods.

519
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:50.640
Alone he, said you can go to the, pond you

520
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:53.000
can go into any of the clear, area but do

521
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:55.759
not pass the fence line into the woods unless you're

522
00:28:55.920 --> 00:29:00.119
with an adult or you and your brother are, together which.

523
00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:02.079
Right.

524
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:05.279
Wrong me and my, brother we grew up we didn't

525
00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:07.720
go in the woods without a. Shotgun you, know we

526
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:09.880
grew up we carried guns from a young. Age it

527
00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:11.759
was just the way that our that we grew up

528
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.400
in our life was, SO i, think and we were good.

529
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.039
SHOTS i think that might have put his mind at

530
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:20.319
ease a little bit about us being kids out. There

531
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:23.519
but that was the main rule is do not go

532
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:26.519
out there, alone and and he enforced. It i'll never

533
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:29.640
forget my brother went out there alone one day and

534
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.480
he striped his tail right or wrong spanking your. Kids

535
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:35.279
but that's how we were, raised you. Know and he

536
00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:39.519
strip my brother AND i that learned my lesson never

537
00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:41.799
go out there alone BECAUSE i didn't want, that but

538
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:43.559
that that was the main. Rule don't go out there,

539
00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:49.519
alone and just always be. Looking he's always be, scanning looking,

540
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:50.559
around seeing if you see.

541
00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:56.200
Anything, absolutely it sounds like your grandfather was definitely a smart,

542
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:58.279
man very very very.

543
00:29:58.319 --> 00:30:00.319
Smart ah.

544
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:06.839
Man it'd be interesting in the future if anything else

545
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:13.160
does come, out perhaps at family gatherings in the, future who.

546
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:16.920
Knows definitely keep us in mind if it. Does but

547
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:20.400
you say that you also so how about this and

548
00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:24.599
this will all be edited to be more. Smooth so

549
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:29.240
is This is there anything else that you would need

550
00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:31.440
to share about the family farm In?

551
00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:32.079
Alabama?

552
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:36.680
Then, Yeah ACTUALLY i was saving the best for last

553
00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:42.200
kind Of so it wasn't on the farm our closest,

554
00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:45.920
neighbor LIKE i, said they were maybe at the. Time,

555
00:30:46.119 --> 00:30:48.599
further we had a woman she she had bought a

556
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:51.559
property a little. Closer she's maybe three miles down the.

557
00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:54.759
Road nice. Woman her and her and my grandmother were good.

558
00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:57.319
Friends they would always Bake they do their sour doughs

559
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:02.319
together and share fruits and vegetables from their. Garden this,

560
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:06.519
woman she owned a few. ACRES i don't know exactly

561
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:09.359
her property, size just enough for. Her she was. Retired

562
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:15.880
and this was during my, childhood the same. Summer maybe

563
00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:17.960
it was towards the end of the, summer getting close To,

564
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:21.119
august so like middle Of, july end Of. July we

565
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:25.319
were getting ready to go back to. School and my,

566
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:30.359
mom my, mother my, grandmother and my aunts would always

567
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.000
go to this woman's property and you, know they would walk,

568
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:38.079
around walk around her, woods pick, pecans, mushrooms just go,

569
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:40.119
foraging you. Know and the woman loved. It she was

570
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:42.240
fine because she couldn't do, that and she would rather

571
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.079
her land be used to someone in the community than

572
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:47.960
just sit there and waste. Away so she would let

573
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:52.160
us come on the. Property and it was this bluff

574
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:55.640
THAT i mentioned. EARLIER i, mean it runs, many many.

575
00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:57.319
MILES i couldn't Even i'd have to look at a

576
00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:59.480
map to figure out how long this ridgeline. Is but

577
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:04.039
she her property was also, situated you, know a mile

578
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:08.720
away from this, ridgeline the backside the end of her,

579
00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:11.960
property away from the. Road we were kind of deep

580
00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:15.839
in her in her. Property another interesting. Thing this woman

581
00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:19.880
probably has some stories, too because her, property her house

582
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:23.039
sat maybe fifty sixty feet off the, road but you

583
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:25.839
couldn't see it unless you were in her driveway because

584
00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:28.480
of the how thick the woods around her house. Was

585
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:33.000
they didn't they didn't clear away the land where you

586
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:35.480
could see the house from the main. Road you had

587
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:38.119
to pull another driveway and then you could start seeing

588
00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:40.480
the house as you went up the. Driveway and that's

589
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:43.519
how her whole property property was just thick wooded. Area

590
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:47.279
she had cleared some trails for us to go foraging

591
00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:50.319
and stuff and herself when she was a little. Younger

592
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:52.599
we were walking down a trail and we were near

593
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:55.920
the backside of her, property kind of close to where

594
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:58.319
THAT i, mean the bluff wasn't byn even as. Close

595
00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:00.599
it was still a mile, away but kind of close

596
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:04.000
to where that bluff. Was and we're walking down a.

597
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:07.319
TRAIL i remember looking off in the DIRECTION i was.

598
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:11.000
LOOKING i was looking off to my left towards that bluff,

599
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:13.680
area like the backside of all the properties in this,

600
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:16.440
area that's where they end is at that. BLUFF i

601
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:19.079
was looking towards the. Bluff we're walking on a small

602
00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:23.559
trail wasn't very, big but it. Was it was a,

603
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:26.720
crude crude pathway, too so like it wasn't cleared back

604
00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:29.640
away from the path very. Well there was bushes and,

605
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:31.799
trees you, know within a foot or two from the

606
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:34.319
edge of the. PATH i was looking off to the

607
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:38.440
left AND i passed a. Tree the tree, was you,

608
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:41.319
know it. Was it was fairly fairly, wide maybe four feet.

609
00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:45.200
Wide so my vision was was obscured from what was

610
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:48.480
beyond that tree for maybe a second or. Two And

611
00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:52.640
i'll Never i'll never forget. This it shivers my soul

612
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:55.680
to this. DAY i passed this tree And i'm looking

613
00:33:55.720 --> 00:34:00.440
out to the, left and maybe IF i had to,

614
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:02.240
GUESS i was, young but IF i had put a

615
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:06.480
foot like a measurement on, it maybe forty feet away

616
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:10.039
there was another, tree and it was it was pretty,

617
00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:13.679
big maybe five six foot. WIDE i see a face

618
00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:15.920
poking out the side of this tree looking at. Me

619
00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:23.880
from WHAT i can remember to put to piece this face,

620
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:28.719
together the eyes were. Black from EVERYTHING i could. See

621
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:31.079
if there was like an iris or something like a human,

622
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:34.320
house it was dark, colored like dark. Brown the eyes

623
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:38.559
looked jet solid. BLACK i remember the first thing that

624
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:41.159
entered my mind was like, monkey like a rang. Atane

625
00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:43.360
AND i don't know if it was the hair, color

626
00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:46.960
because the hair was like red like, brown but reddish,

627
00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:49.400
brown and it kinda was kind of odd because it

628
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:51.800
made it stand out more than. Anything that's WHAT i

629
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:55.000
THINK i noticed first was like the red hue of.

630
00:34:55.039 --> 00:35:00.840
It as far as like mouth, structure no, STRUCTURE i

631
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:03.480
couldn't really. TELL i was far and it was. HAIRY

632
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:05.800
i mean it seemed like the hair if it, did

633
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:07.480
it went all the way up to the lips and

634
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:11.519
the nostrils and then the around the eyes like that's

635
00:35:11.559 --> 00:35:14.679
ALL i could see was the. Eyes and THEN i

636
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:18.079
seen a shoulder on that same side of the, tree

637
00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:20.239
like part of what WOULD i think would be a.

638
00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:22.639
Shoulder and then on the other side of the, TREE

639
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:25.119
i could see what part of WHAT i think would

640
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:29.159
be the opposite shoulder of whatever this. WAS i still

641
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:32.880
don't know if this was a. BIGFOOT I i do

642
00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:35.960
know though in The Appalachian. MOUNTAINS i was in the

643
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.960
foothills of The Applement Appalachian. Mountains there you see a

644
00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:41.039
monkey in the, woods it's probably. Bigfoot you, KNOW.

645
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:45.760
I would agree with that one hundred. Percent is that

646
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:51.480
is amazing can you make a let's, say if you

647
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:56.079
were to think of common household, objects is there one

648
00:35:56.280 --> 00:35:59.079
that's the same size as that head that you saw?

649
00:35:59.199 --> 00:35:59.519
Roughly?

650
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:05.119
Uh IF i had a, GUESS i don't know if

651
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:08.880
you've ever seen, them they make like a, gallon like sugar. Jars,

652
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:12.719
Okay AND i mean it was kind of it was,

653
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:15.199
Long it was longer than it was. WIDE i couldn't

654
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:17.599
see edge to edge the, face but it seemed like

655
00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:19.880
most of the face was hanging out from the side

656
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:22.039
of the tree looking at and it felt like it

657
00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:24.760
was looking right at. Me but, uh, yeah maybe like

658
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:28.679
a sugar jar with the pop open. Lids maybe like

hair at the top of the. Head it kind of seemed,

670
00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:56.760
rounded BUT i mean it was it was kind of far,

671
00:36:56.800 --> 00:37:01.719

672
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:04.920
split second or. Two i'd passed that, tree saw it

673
00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:08.159

listening to your show a few, months and that's kind

693
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:09.199
of what got me wanting to maybe just get this

694
00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:11.280
off my. Chest maybe it'll help me come to peace with.

695
00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:15.360
It BUT i would have really bad nightmares for about

696
00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:18.079
a month after that. EVENT i was, YOUNG i was a.

697
00:38:18.159 --> 00:38:21.679
KID i don't know if that's, related but the nightmares

698
00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:24.079
were of something coming and snatching me out of my

699
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:26.000
bedroom window in the middle of the. Night and it

700
00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:29.039

something grabbing me out of my bedroom at. Night. Wow

702
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:37.039
AND i specifically remember it was after this occurrence, too

703
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:41.280
because it was these nightmares drew on until like my

704
00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:43.719
first and second month of, school and that's WHEN i

705
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:45.800

00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:50.800
what had.

709
00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:54.800
Happened and this is around two thousand and eight.

710
00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:58.639
Ish, yeah same same timeframe as all the other. Events all,

711
00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:02.840
this all my occurrence is in first hand. Experiences all,

712
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:05.840
This all these things happened in one, summer AND i

713
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:08.440
grew up on that. Land i've been on that land

714
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:11.920
even after then and never seen her smeld anything. Off

715
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:15.960
but this one, summer, man it. Was it was a

716
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:17.480
crazy one for us out, there.

717
00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:23.280
Absolutely absolutely. Wild what was your mom's reaction when you

718
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:24.079
told her all?

719
00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:27.639
This she was kind of she was kind of, concerned

720
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:29.440
and then she talked to my dad about, it and

721
00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:31.079
that was the LAST i heard about. It she never

722
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:34.079
brought it up. Again she was kind of. Concerned are

723
00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:36.320
you sure that's what you? Saw and she was asking

724
00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:38.880
me questions about, it AND i remember, SHE i talked

725
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:40.599
to your father about this when he gets home, tonight

726
00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:43.639
and they. Did they they talked about, it and that's

727
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:46.079
The that was the LAST i heard about. It she

728
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:51.559
didn't seem, concerned she didn't seem. WORRIED i don't. KNOW

729
00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:56.400
i mean, This the FEELING i got was Very it

730
00:39:56.440 --> 00:39:58.800
wasn't like a dangerous, feeling you, know WHEN i saw.

731
00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:00.639
THAT i didn't feel scared for MY i just felt

732
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:03.000
scared BECAUSE i didn't know WHAT i was looking. AT i, think,

733
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:09.360
yeah another maybe she sensed, That maybe she SENSED i

734
00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:12.519
wasn't in danger and wasn't wasn't concerned with. It i'm not,

735
00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:15.079
sure but she never she never brought it up.

736
00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:19.000
Again i'm kind of getting that same vibe that there's

737
00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:21.079
a talk with your dad and he's, like, hey they're,

738
00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:24.360
here don't worry about, it.

739
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:25.039
Or something like. That who.

740
00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:28.920
Knows but another thing THAT i thought of when you

741
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:35.880
were sharing earlier is the similarity between the two animals

742
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:37.880
that were. Found so you've got the dog and the.

743
00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:41.960
Horse those are both animals that will make some kind

744
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.960
of noise as an alert if there's some something, around you.

745
00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:50.880
Know so who knows what was up with?

746
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:53.960
That and we were outside that that whole day that

747
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:56.000
the horses were out the. PASTURE i mean we were

748
00:40:56.039 --> 00:40:58.519
outside all. Day we were only inside for breakfast and

749
00:40:58.599 --> 00:41:01.239
then the night, time and we never heard any commotion

750
00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:04.920
that day or the days. After we never heard. Anything

751
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:07.880
which property is rather, LARGE i mean forty seven. Acres

752
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:10.880
if there's a horse on the complete other side of the,

753
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:12.360
property you may not hear, it you.

754
00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:17.119
Know, yeah that's a big, property, Absolutely AND i would

755
00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:22.039
guess there's got to be still stuff, happening just so

756
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:24.920
you haven't found out about it. Yet it'd be interesting

757
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:31.639
in the. Future but, wow what an account of stuff

758
00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:34.840
that's happening in one. Area, jay thank you for sharing.

759
00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:42.079
That, yeah, yeah no, PROBLEM i should add, too there

760
00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:45.039
Are i'm sure there's stuff still going on in that

761
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:48.880
area during my. Childhood And i've went back For christmas

762
00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:52.719
this last, year twenty twenty Four, christmas went back and

763
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:54.639
was talking to some of the PEOPLE i grew up.

764
00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:58.360
With there's big foot hunting groups in that, area and

765
00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:01.159
they'll get tree knocks. Back they don't ever see anything,

766
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:04.480
typically but if they do, that it's probably not common.

767
00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:08.320
Knowledge BUT i remember just Last, CHRISTMAS i was talking

768
00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:10.519
to a guy AND i went to school with, there

769
00:42:10.559 --> 00:42:12.320

770
00:42:12.400 --> 00:42:15.000
tree knocks back not far from that. Area So i'm

771
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:16.320

865
00:47:06.199 --> 00:47:10.079
bit just when the trailer is. Attached if you, twist

866
00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:12.119
if you were to try and turn that trailer, over

867
00:47:12.239 --> 00:47:14.400
eventually it would take the truck with it or break

868
00:47:14.440 --> 00:47:18.320

00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:41.239
DON'T i don't know the. AREA i don't know how

896
00:48:41.760 --> 00:48:46.840
how much activities in that, area BUT i in in,

897
00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:50.679
summary you, know he had something, big, tall about half

898
00:48:50.719 --> 00:48:53.559
the height of his, trailer shake, it wake him, up

899
00:48:53.599 --> 00:48:55.760
and then. TURN i don't know if it knew he

900
00:48:55.800 --> 00:48:57.960
was watching or, wherever but turn and looked directly at

901
00:48:58.039 --> 00:49:00.000
him and start coming towards the cab of his, truck

902
00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:02.079
and he tore off out of.

903
00:49:02.119 --> 00:49:09.079
There that is, Incredible my, goodness that area is extremely,

904
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:12.000
active that. PASS i, mean you just look on the

905
00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:19.480
Bfro King. County there's plenty of reports over the, years some,

906
00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:21.320
wild wild, stuff.

907
00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:23.079
My.

908
00:49:23.199 --> 00:49:26.519
Goodness and the weird thing is is that he had

909
00:49:26.519 --> 00:49:29.480
nothing in that, trailer, Right, Yeah, no it was.

910
00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:34.400
Empty and you know he's growing up where he did

911
00:49:34.679 --> 00:49:38.599
and hearing stories and stuff throughout his. Life i'm SURE

912
00:49:39.199 --> 00:49:44.519
i think his opinion is that whatever that creature was

913
00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:50.039
knew that those trailers did carry meat and fresh food

914
00:49:50.079 --> 00:49:52.920
and stuff and maybe didn't realize that it was.

915
00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:58.239
Empty, ABSOLUTELY i would guess that your dad wasn't the

916
00:49:58.239 --> 00:50:01.480
first truck to pull over were, there and so they

917
00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:05.360
would probably know. That BUT i agree with you on.

918
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:06.679
That, now a.

919
00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:11.079
Tractor trailer or a trailer like that is about it

920
00:50:11.159 --> 00:50:12.840
is like thirteen fourteen feet, tall is that?

921
00:50:12.960 --> 00:50:18.159
Right? Yeah some of them go up to eighteen, depends but,

922
00:50:18.239 --> 00:50:20.000
yeah that's probably pretty, CLOSE i.

923
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:22.960
Guess, Okay SO i mean you could be looking at

924
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:26.440
anywhere for like seven to nine feet tall for what

925
00:50:26.480 --> 00:50:26.840
your dad.

926
00:50:26.880 --> 00:50:31.880
Saw, yeah, yeah and you, know he said the eyes

927
00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:34.679
were probably halfway up the. Trailer it was dark and,

928
00:50:34.719 --> 00:50:39.360
stuff but from what he can make, out, yeah it was.

929
00:50:39.400 --> 00:50:40.119
Tall whatever it.

930
00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:45.800
Was my, goodness it'll be very interesting to hear if

931
00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:49.079

932
00:50:49.159 --> 00:50:51.880

because of how traumatic it. Was and then the fact

995
00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:38.159
that she said he had died once during the surgery

996
00:54:38.199 --> 00:54:39.880
they were trying to do the skin. Grafts they took

997
00:54:40.039 --> 00:54:43.239
sections off of her and my grandfather to skin graft my.

998
00:54:43.320 --> 00:54:47.519
Father and, uh she she said he died once when

999
00:54:47.519 --> 00:54:48.880
he was a baby and they were able to get

1000
00:54:48.960 --> 00:54:53.000
him bring him. Back and she swears that this event

1001
00:54:53.119 --> 00:54:57.880
is the reason that my father is so spiritually. Attuned but,

1002
00:54:57.960 --> 00:54:59.880
yeah grew, up we grew up in, churches and h,

1003
00:55:00.039 --> 00:55:04.480
uh my dad was a church, leader strong man Of.

1004
00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:09.519
God still is a strong man Of. God BUT i

1005
00:55:09.559 --> 00:55:12.199
just wanted to kind of give that background AS i

1006
00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:17.000
feel like my bloodline is spiritually attuned to be more

1007
00:55:17.079 --> 00:55:20.079
open and succeptable to supernatural. THINGS i don't know if

1008
00:55:20.119 --> 00:55:23.440
that makes. Sense that's my father's. Side and then my,

1009
00:55:23.519 --> 00:55:26.519
mother she's a she's a strong practicing. Pagan she's a

1010
00:55:26.599 --> 00:55:29.760
very strong spiritual. Woman SO i come from a background

1011
00:55:29.800 --> 00:55:34.280
of very strong spiritual. People my, father LIKE i, said

1012
00:55:34.280 --> 00:55:37.559
we were involved in a church and uh he you,

1013
00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:40.559
know we'd, started he'd started going there and then he,

1014
00:55:40.639 --> 00:55:43.039
called he was called to, preach became a, deacon a

1015
00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:46.320
minister in the. Church and this church was one of

1016
00:55:46.320 --> 00:55:49.519
the only ones at the time in our area Of,

1017
00:55:49.559 --> 00:55:52.400
alabama the Northeast alabama area that we grew up THAT

1018
00:55:52.440 --> 00:55:56.199
i grew up. In they would they would take exorcism.

1019
00:55:56.280 --> 00:56:00.079
Cases if they had someone that believed their house was

1020
00:56:00.119 --> 00:56:03.559
possessed or a family member that was, possessed they would

1021
00:56:04.119 --> 00:56:05.840
they would call on this. Church and it was a

1022
00:56:05.880 --> 00:56:07.679
big church in the. AREA a lot of people knew

1023
00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:12.079
them to be able to do. That my, father he

1024
00:56:12.199 --> 00:56:14.800
was he was moving up in the. Church he became

1025
00:56:14.920 --> 00:56:18.400
like a a, DEACON i guess you could say shepherd

1026
00:56:18.199 --> 00:56:24.519
of the, church the. Congregation and he told me there's

1027
00:56:24.559 --> 00:56:28.480
two instances he and here's another odd thing about my,

1028
00:56:28.920 --> 00:56:32.840
Dad like the story In, washington some of the. Stories

1029
00:56:34.079 --> 00:56:36.679
the one of the Stories i'm gonna tell, you he documents.

1030
00:56:36.760 --> 00:56:40.119
Everything so when he pulled off and got to where

1031
00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:41.920
he was going In, seattle he wrote down on a

1032
00:56:41.920 --> 00:56:48.119
piece of paper what. Happened he has two written. Events

1033
00:56:47.880 --> 00:56:50.559
he's never let me read, them but he's he's performed

1034
00:56:50.639 --> 00:56:54.679
two exorcisms on people with the members of that. Church

1035
00:56:54.719 --> 00:56:57.559
and you, Know i've kind of hinted at it to

1036
00:56:57.599 --> 00:56:59.480
the pastor of the church BECAUSE i still know him

1037
00:56:59.480 --> 00:57:02.079
well and, WELL i can't get much out of. Him

1038
00:57:02.079 --> 00:57:05.840
but my dad has a locked folder where he keeps

1039
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:10.440
he has who knows what in, there but in specific

1040
00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:15.800
he's performed to extorcism and exorcisms on people and has

1041
00:57:15.880 --> 00:57:19.599
the notes of. Them he, uh the one he would

1042
00:57:19.639 --> 00:57:21.400
tell me about, though BECAUSE i asked, HIM i, say

1043
00:57:21.440 --> 00:57:23.119
is there anything you want to get off your? Chest

1044
00:57:23.199 --> 00:57:26.960
and BEFORE i go on, here and he told me.

1045
00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:29.880
This he told me this event WHEN i was, younger

1046
00:57:30.840 --> 00:57:33.480
AND i remember. It and then he told me this

1047
00:57:33.599 --> 00:57:36.000
event about a month ago WHEN i was preparing to

1048
00:57:36.039 --> 00:57:40.440
come onto this. Show and the event hasn't. Changed i'm

1049
00:57:41.079 --> 00:57:43.599
pretty sure even to the exact wording he used is

1050
00:57:43.679 --> 00:57:48.360
exactly the. Same there was a woman and a man

1051
00:57:48.400 --> 00:57:52.760
that went to our. Church they approached the leaders of the.

1052
00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:56.760
Church they, said, hey my, wife she's having, nightmares and

1053
00:57:56.800 --> 00:58:02.280
they my. Dad they showed the leaders his wife's. Legs

1054
00:58:02.320 --> 00:58:04.679
she had claw marks and. Bruises she was getting beat

1055
00:58:04.760 --> 00:58:08.719
up at night and having horrible nightmares about like hell

1056
00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:12.920
and just, nasty horrible things in her. Nightmares so my

1057
00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:15.119
dad and the leaders of the, church they, said, yeah

1058
00:58:15.119 --> 00:58:19.239
we'll go, out we'll bless the. Home they. Didn't they

1059
00:58:19.239 --> 00:58:22.480
said they didn't really feel like it was attached to.

1060
00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:24.199
Her they felt like it was in the. Home it

1061
00:58:24.280 --> 00:58:27.440
was an old property, too and they avited my. Dad

1062
00:58:27.480 --> 00:58:32.239
this was the FIRST i guess exorcism of property. Event

1063
00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:35.519
you could say that he took part. Of they invited

1064
00:58:35.519 --> 00:58:37.719
my dad because he was he was growing in power

1065
00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:39.800
Of god and becoming a strong man Of, god and

1066
00:58:39.840 --> 00:58:42.039
they wanted him. THERE i, mean the more swords the.

1067
00:58:42.079 --> 00:58:47.239
Better so they ended up going to this. House he

1068
00:58:47.280 --> 00:58:49.599
said it was in the. Evening it wasn't necessarily not,

1069
00:58:49.719 --> 00:58:57.159
time but like later. Evening And i'm trying to remember

1070
00:58:57.400 --> 00:58:59.679
too the. YEAR i don't think he disclosed when this.

1071
00:58:59.880 --> 00:59:03.400
Was but they got to the. House my dad, said

1072
00:59:03.519 --> 00:59:06.079
as soon as they walked in the front, door he

1073
00:59:06.199 --> 00:59:10.119
just felt this like impending sense of like doom and like,

1074
00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:15.480
dread you, know but, uh he didn't think nothing of.

1075
00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:18.719
It they started blessing the. House they blessed all the, windows,

1076
00:59:18.719 --> 00:59:22.039
doorways the living, room the, kitchen and the way the

1077
00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:24.280
house was laid. Out you go through the living room

1078
00:59:24.320 --> 00:59:26.280
into the, kitchen and then off to the side there

1079
00:59:26.360 --> 00:59:28.960
was he, said there was the bedroom door and then

1080
00:59:29.360 --> 00:59:32.559
like coming out into the kitchen there was, like, uh

1081
00:59:32.599 --> 00:59:36.119
it was just a one bedroom. House but the bathroom

1082
00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:38.880
connected to the, kitchen and then you could go through

1083
00:59:38.880 --> 00:59:41.960
the kitchen through the bathroom and into the, bedroom or

1084
00:59:42.000 --> 00:59:44.519
you come go into the bedroom straight through the living.

1085
00:59:44.559 --> 00:59:47.719
Room there was two. Accesses so they did the kitchen

1086
00:59:47.960 --> 00:59:51.760
in the living room and he said they they went to,

1087
00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:55.920
uh they went to go into the bedroom and the

1088
00:59:55.960 --> 00:59:58.280
door was like he, said they couldn't open the. Door

1089
00:59:58.320 --> 01:00:00.320
it was locked from the. Inside so they go around

1090
01:00:00.360 --> 01:00:03.960
to the, bathroom bless the, bathroom go into the, bedroom

1091
01:00:05.239 --> 01:00:09.719
and my dad said that's when the feeling of dread

1092
01:00:09.760 --> 01:00:13.519
and doom came back to. Him and he said they

1093
01:00:13.519 --> 01:00:15.880
were blessing the room and it was just. Weird like

1094
01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:18.719
he would they'd have their eyes closed and he'd squin

1095
01:00:18.800 --> 01:00:20.480
them a little, praying and he'd squin them a little,

1096
01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:23.079
bit and, HE'S i Swear i'd see like, shadows like

1097
01:00:23.119 --> 01:00:27.159
a shadow. Move he, said the windows would like, real

1098
01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:31.039
real softly faintly like rattle and sound like they were,

1099
01:00:31.079 --> 01:00:37.360
cracking but the glass wasn't. Cracking and he had that

1100
01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:40.360
feeling LIKE i don't know if you've ever experienced, anything

1101
01:00:40.719 --> 01:00:43.440
but you'll get like a feeling every hair on your

1102
01:00:43.480 --> 01:00:46.239
body stands, up every single hair on your entire body

1103
01:00:46.280 --> 01:00:50.519
will stand up. Once and he, Had, yeah he had

1104
01:00:50.519 --> 01:00:54.039
that feeling like he knew something was. There they kept

1105
01:00:54.039 --> 01:00:57.880
praying until he said that feeling it, slowly slowly, faded

1106
01:00:58.679 --> 01:01:02.599
and eventually they felt like the room had been. Blessed

1107
01:01:03.760 --> 01:01:07.119
they left the house because there was a barn on.

1108
01:01:07.119 --> 01:01:09.039
Them dad said there was a barn on the property

1109
01:01:09.639 --> 01:01:11.559
a couple hundred feet away from the. House it was an,

1110
01:01:11.599 --> 01:01:14.800
old abandoned, barn but they wanted to bless all structures

1111
01:01:14.800 --> 01:01:19.400
on the. Property and he, said as he had scared

1112
01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:21.320
the crap out of. Us they were walking to the,

1113
01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:28.559
barn and maybe thirty forty feet ahead of them they

1114
01:01:28.559 --> 01:01:31.280
could see like a tree, shaking like the branch is,

1115
01:01:31.320 --> 01:01:34.559
shaking and once they got, CLOSE i mean it didn't

1116
01:01:34.599 --> 01:01:36.280
almost hit, them but if they would have been a

1117
01:01:36.320 --> 01:01:38.480
few seconds ahead of where they were, walking a tree

1118
01:01:38.519 --> 01:01:41.119
branch would have fell and landed on all of. THEM

1119
01:01:41.519 --> 01:01:44.480
i mean they were maybe five ten seconds of walking

1120
01:01:44.519 --> 01:01:50.119
from being crushed by a huge tree branch which connected or.

1121
01:01:50.159 --> 01:01:52.320
Not you, know there was no, wind there was no.

1122
01:01:52.440 --> 01:01:54.440
Storms that was the odd. Thing my dad. Said there

1123
01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:56.800
was not. Storming it was a clear, night wasn't, raining no.

1124
01:01:56.920 --> 01:01:59.239
Wind all the other trees were, called but this one was.

1125
01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:04.519
Shaken and he, said they went and blessed the blessed the.

1126
01:02:04.559 --> 01:02:08.719
Barn but then they they blessed the wife and and

1127
01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:11.360
the husband before they, left and that was the end of.

1128
01:02:11.360 --> 01:02:14.400
It she she was never never had another, nightmare she

1129
01:02:14.480 --> 01:02:18.320
was never attacking her. Sleep it ended right then that.

1130
01:02:18.480 --> 01:02:24.559
Night spiritual warfare is is so. Real.

1131
01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:27.639
UH i don't think a lot of people realize, that

1132
01:02:27.920 --> 01:02:30.280
BUT i think more people are starting.

1133
01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:33.719
To that's, wild my. Goodness.

1134
01:02:33.880 --> 01:02:38.159
Uh it puts a whole different viewpoint on your dad's

1135
01:02:39.320 --> 01:02:42.719
and The bigfoot experience side of, things to know that

1136
01:02:42.800 --> 01:02:44.760
there's this spiritual warfare side as.

1137
01:02:44.800 --> 01:02:51.840
Well, yeah, YEAH i. Guess I'LL i know we're kind

1138
01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:56.400
of getting. Close i'll go ahead and tell my. STORY

1139
01:02:57.039 --> 01:02:59.960
i was IN i was in. COLLEGE i had a

1140
01:03:00.119 --> 01:03:02.599
lived in a second the second floor of an apartment.

1141
01:03:02.639 --> 01:03:07.559
Complex it was a two bedroom apartment, complex and in

1142
01:03:07.599 --> 01:03:10.199
each bedroom we had two. Guys we would there was

1143
01:03:10.239 --> 01:03:12.280
two twin beds we would share. It so there's four

1144
01:03:12.480 --> 01:03:15.880
poor guys total in the. Apartment ME i had my,

1145
01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:21.280
roommate and then the two others were across the completely

1146
01:03:21.360 --> 01:03:24.239
across the, apartment and me and my roommate we were

1147
01:03:24.280 --> 01:03:27.559
laying there one, night we just finished our, homework kind

1148
01:03:27.559 --> 01:03:29.400
of just WATCHING, tv getting ready to go to, sleep

1149
01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:35.360
and uh. There the way it worked was they were

1150
01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:39.079
trying and the school helped find. Housing so when they

1151
01:03:39.159 --> 01:03:41.719
helped find, housing they would try and put people that

1152
01:03:41.840 --> 01:03:45.079
had day classes in the same room as people and

1153
01:03:45.119 --> 01:03:47.519
then not class people in the other two in the other.

1154
01:03:47.599 --> 01:03:51.440
Room that, way like the apartment was never too crowded

1155
01:03:52.039 --> 01:03:55.159
or you weren't sleeping when your roommate was getting up

1156
01:03:55.199 --> 01:03:57.679
to go to work and. Stuff they tried to balance

1157
01:03:57.719 --> 01:03:59.480
it like. That so the other two roommates were, gone

1158
01:03:59.480 --> 01:04:02.159
they were in they were in class at the. Time

1159
01:04:03.159 --> 01:04:05.480
me and my roommate were just laying there WATCHING. Tv

1160
01:04:06.239 --> 01:04:08.559
our bathroom. Door it's kind of the same situation as

1161
01:04:08.559 --> 01:04:10.599
the HOUSE i just. Described you'll, leave you'll go through

1162
01:04:10.599 --> 01:04:12.119
the bathroom and then you can go out to the.

1163
01:04:12.199 --> 01:04:15.719
Kitchen it's like a walk through a double door in the.

1164
01:04:15.719 --> 01:04:20.480
Bathroom the door to the kitchen was closed in our,

1165
01:04:20.519 --> 01:04:23.800
bathroom but the door from our vedroom to the bathroom was.

1166
01:04:23.880 --> 01:04:27.159
OPEN i think my roommate had just taken a, shower

1167
01:04:27.360 --> 01:04:29.559
like forty five minutes earlier or. Something the door was,

1168
01:04:29.599 --> 01:04:33.079
open the light was, on and his towel was sitting

1169
01:04:33.079 --> 01:04:36.239
on the, sink on the counter by the, sink and

1170
01:04:36.280 --> 01:04:37.880
we were, sitting LIKE i, said were sitting there and WATCHING.

1171
01:04:37.880 --> 01:04:40.760
Tv and he kind of, said do you see? That

1172
01:04:40.880 --> 01:04:43.800
AND i. Looked he could see the towel a little

1173
01:04:43.840 --> 01:04:46.440
better from where his bed, was but the towel was,

1174
01:04:46.519 --> 01:04:50.639
moving AND i was kind of started getting like a,

1175
01:04:50.679 --> 01:04:53.519
feeling like a weird, feeling and then the towel slid

1176
01:04:53.559 --> 01:04:57.000
off of the counter and the door, closed like slammed.

1177
01:04:57.039 --> 01:05:00.800
Closed it scared. HIM i don't think he's ever had

1178
01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:03.280
to deal with anything like, that so, right you, know,

1179
01:05:03.440 --> 01:05:05.840
rightfully so it's it's scared the crap out of. Him

1180
01:05:06.639 --> 01:05:10.800
BUT i MEAN i immediately got, up got him out

1181
01:05:10.800 --> 01:05:13.519
of the house and called my. Dad SO i knew

1182
01:05:13.559 --> 01:05:18.320
something wasn't. Right and this was interesting thing for me

1183
01:05:18.480 --> 01:05:23.639
Because i'd never taken part of anything like this THAT

1184
01:05:24.559 --> 01:05:27.639
i learned a lot about how it. Works but he,

1185
01:05:27.719 --> 01:05:30.519
raised he raised me my brother to be staunching in our.

1186
01:05:30.519 --> 01:05:35.599
Faith and he offered for me to bless the apartment

1187
01:05:35.639 --> 01:05:37.840
with him because he had to come and he needed

1188
01:05:37.840 --> 01:05:40.840
another person to help. Him SO i helped. Him we

1189
01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:45.599
blessed the, apartment and as far as anything, happening nothing else.

1190
01:05:45.639 --> 01:05:49.440
Happened as far as like events while we were. Blessing,

1191
01:05:49.440 --> 01:05:52.000
it just a horrible feeling in my gut and like

1192
01:05:52.199 --> 01:05:55.039
down my, spine kind of what he, described IF i

1193
01:05:55.079 --> 01:05:58.840
had to describe, it like dread and doom and. Uh

1194
01:05:59.480 --> 01:06:01.119
but we did. It we did the. THING i followed his.

1195
01:06:01.239 --> 01:06:05.199
Lead we, prayed blessed the, apartment AND i never had another.

1196
01:06:05.239 --> 01:06:09.000
Event But i'll never forget to look on my roommate's.

1197
01:06:09.039 --> 01:06:12.920
Face he kind of, like, uh looked like he had

1198
01:06:12.920 --> 01:06:16.320
seen a, ghost you, Know and no one else home

1199
01:06:16.360 --> 01:06:19.480
but me and that, guy and that that towel he

1200
01:06:19.559 --> 01:06:22.159
used to dry off had just slipped off and hit

1201
01:06:22.199 --> 01:06:24.320
the floor AND i watched it do, it and then

1202
01:06:24.360 --> 01:06:28.079
the door that was opened goes oow slam, shut and

1203
01:06:28.119 --> 01:06:30.079
within five SECONDS i was getting him out of the.

1204
01:06:30.079 --> 01:06:36.119
House he didn't understand what was going on until AFTER

1205
01:06:36.199 --> 01:06:40.320
i kind of told. Him and and that's one thing.

1206
01:06:40.360 --> 01:06:43.599
Too if you think you're dealing with a like a

1207
01:06:43.639 --> 01:06:47.880
demonic entity or, something people who are not staunching their

1208
01:06:47.920 --> 01:06:50.559
faith do not need to be around those entities at.

1209
01:06:50.599 --> 01:06:58.280
All they're very susceptible to being. Persuaded and even that's

1210
01:06:58.280 --> 01:06:59.679
how even some possessions come.

1211
01:06:59.719 --> 01:07:04.840
About that's absolutely.

1212
01:07:04.920 --> 01:07:11.039
Right so knowing the history of your family and on this, side,

1213
01:07:11.079 --> 01:07:15.519
now did anyone ever try to use the name Of

1214
01:07:15.599 --> 01:07:19.280
jesus to affect The bigfoot that were on the?

1215
01:07:19.320 --> 01:07:25.199
Property you, know if my grandfather ever, DID i have no.

1216
01:07:25.280 --> 01:07:30.239
Idea if my father ever, DID i wouldn't. Know my

1217
01:07:30.320 --> 01:07:34.280
grandfather was very very tight. Lipped i'm sure he's turning

1218
01:07:34.320 --> 01:07:37.199
over in his grave just hearing me talk about, this you,

1219
01:07:37.239 --> 01:07:40.320
know BECAUSE i think he WANTS i think he wanted

1220
01:07:40.559 --> 01:07:43.719
whatever was on our. Property he didn't want To he

1221
01:07:43.760 --> 01:07:47.039
didn't want to hurt, it you, know and his his,

1222
01:07:47.119 --> 01:07:50.159
mindset and from my from my, opinion looking at the

1223
01:07:50.159 --> 01:07:54.119
way he handled, situations he probably thought of it as

1224
01:07:54.239 --> 01:07:56.800
better better him where he can handle, it than someone

1225
01:07:56.840 --> 01:07:58.280
that's going to go out and shoot the thing or.

1226
01:07:58.280 --> 01:08:03.039
Something, yeah that makes that makes. SENSE a.

1227
01:08:03.079 --> 01:08:06.239
Wow just when you put the whole thing, together it.

1228
01:08:06.440 --> 01:08:07.920

01:08:43.720 --> 01:08:46.359
some strange lights in the. Sky my father drove a

1242
01:08:46.399 --> 01:08:50.359
truck for a while and this is kind of where

1243
01:08:50.880 --> 01:08:54.119
what brought me out to this. Area But New, Mexico

1244
01:08:54.279 --> 01:08:57.960
Southeast New mexico And West texas is a big oil filled.

1245
01:08:58.000 --> 01:08:59.880
AREA i don't know if you're familiar with the, area

1246
01:09:00.840 --> 01:09:04.039
and it's it's a lot of. Desert there's like rolling,

1247
01:09:04.119 --> 01:09:08.720
hills but generally it's flat. Land it's flat land with rolling.

1248
01:09:08.760 --> 01:09:14.239
Hills he was hauling water for the for a oil

1249
01:09:15.159 --> 01:09:19.920
for they had like wastewater that it's a byproduct of

1250
01:09:19.960 --> 01:09:21.920
pumping oil out of the. Ground so he's hauling oil

1251
01:09:22.119 --> 01:09:25.680
away from a rig to a disposal. Site he said

1252
01:09:25.680 --> 01:09:27.560
it was twenty. Thirteen he don't remember the time of,

1253
01:09:27.640 --> 01:09:33.119
year but he remembers it was twenty. Thirteen oh, no,

1254
01:09:33.239 --> 01:09:35.119
YEAH i got it wrote down. Here so he said

1255
01:09:35.159 --> 01:09:39.720
it was In february of twenty. Thirteen, specifically he was

1256
01:09:39.760 --> 01:09:42.279
in the he was in the middle of the. Desert,

1257
01:09:42.319 --> 01:09:44.840
really there's a. Road it's people around. Here if they hear,

1258
01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:48.600
it they'll know Battle Axe road Between County road two

1259
01:09:48.880 --> 01:09:52.479
it's A Texas county road And, Jown New. Mexico he

1260
01:09:52.600 --> 01:09:56.000
was on Battle Axe road hauling water and out there

1261
01:09:56.079 --> 01:09:58.239
the way the land, is you'll, go you'll be going

1262
01:09:58.239 --> 01:10:01.199
a mile or two and then the land and'll raise

1263
01:10:01.399 --> 01:10:04.119
a couple hundred feet and you'll it'll flatten back out

1264
01:10:04.159 --> 01:10:05.880
for a mile or two and then it may drop

1265
01:10:06.000 --> 01:10:10.720
or it'll. Fluctuate his rolling, hills but relatively. Flat so

1266
01:10:11.960 --> 01:10:15.199
he was out. There it was, midnight one. Am he

1267
01:10:15.239 --> 01:10:19.199
said he could see a, car like a, car a

1268
01:10:19.239 --> 01:10:21.319
pickup truck a couple of miles ahead up the, road

1269
01:10:22.359 --> 01:10:24.520
and it'd go up on a hill and he'd lose

1270
01:10:24.520 --> 01:10:26.119
sight of it until he got up on that hill

1271
01:10:26.199 --> 01:10:28.479
or vice versa had drop, off and until he got

1272
01:10:28.520 --> 01:10:31.079
close to the where the hill dropped, off then he

1273
01:10:31.079 --> 01:10:34.760
could see the car way up. Ahead he told me

1274
01:10:34.800 --> 01:10:38.279
he was, driving trying to fall. Asleep he lit a

1275
01:10:38.279 --> 01:10:41.880
cigarette and he was looking out of his windshield and

1276
01:10:41.920 --> 01:10:47.560
he said that he saw he saw like green and blue.

1277
01:10:47.640 --> 01:10:50.399
Lights at, first he said he thought it was like

1278
01:10:50.399 --> 01:10:52.680
an airplane or a, helicopter or maybe like a cell

1279
01:10:52.680 --> 01:10:55.680
phone tower or. Something but he said he got to

1280
01:10:55.720 --> 01:10:59.720
watching him and they were up, ahead and he looked

1281
01:10:59.760 --> 01:11:02.399
like they were like crossing the road left and, right these.

1282
01:11:02.479 --> 01:11:06.680
Lights and, uh he said they did that maybe like

1283
01:11:06.720 --> 01:11:11.239
thirty or forty. Seconds and he said it happened so

1284
01:11:11.359 --> 01:11:13.920
fast he'd barely seen, it but it looked like, they

1285
01:11:14.039 --> 01:11:17.079
like the lights like beamed. Off he could see like

1286
01:11:17.079 --> 01:11:19.840
a small. Stream but he's a. Light but he said

1287
01:11:19.840 --> 01:11:22.359
it happened so fast he barely picked that. Up like

1288
01:11:22.960 --> 01:11:26.239
his mind barely processed that he seen that beam of. Light,

1289
01:11:28.680 --> 01:11:31.640
uh he didn't think nothing of. It kept driving down the,

1290
01:11:31.720 --> 01:11:33.640
road and he dropped off a hill and there was

1291
01:11:33.680 --> 01:11:35.840
that truck pulled over on the side of the. Road

1292
01:11:36.760 --> 01:11:38.880
he slowed down and he, SAID i passed it about

1293
01:11:38.880 --> 01:11:41.119
forty forty five miles an. Hour it was a. Ford he.

1294
01:11:41.119 --> 01:11:44.000
Said it was a four door white pickup. Truck every

1295
01:11:44.000 --> 01:11:46.560
single door was open and there wasn't a soul insight

1296
01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:50.279
truck still running and he said it scared him. Bad

1297
01:11:50.319 --> 01:11:52.000
he didn't want to stop if something bad was going,

1298
01:11:52.039 --> 01:11:54.439
on so he kept. Driving but he said he passed

1299
01:11:54.439 --> 01:11:56.600
slow enough to make sure that he could get a

1300
01:11:56.600 --> 01:11:59.239
look at what was going, on and he said there.

1301
01:11:59.279 --> 01:12:00.840
Was it was, dark so you couldn't see in the.

1302
01:12:00.840 --> 01:12:03.840
Fields but there was no one near that vehicle at the.

1303
01:12:03.880 --> 01:12:07.520
Time it was just abandoned and it was just driving

1304
01:12:07.520 --> 01:12:11.760
down the, road you, know two, three, four five minutes

1305
01:12:11.800 --> 01:12:15.159
before when he lost sight of it had dropped off a.

1306
01:12:15.279 --> 01:12:21.199
Hill so that was that was that. Occurrence AND i,

1307
01:12:21.239 --> 01:12:23.479
mean whether that was A ufo or that guy maybe

1308
01:12:23.479 --> 01:12:25.359
he just had to let his truck air out and

1309
01:12:25.399 --> 01:12:28.520
you relieve, himself you, KNOW i don't. Know but he

1310
01:12:28.960 --> 01:12:32.279
saw some weird, lights dark like dart back and forth

1311
01:12:32.279 --> 01:12:35.920
across the road relatively slowly and then zoom off and

1312
01:12:35.960 --> 01:12:39.239
then further on down the. Road there's an abandoned pickup truck.

1313
01:12:39.279 --> 01:12:43.920
There, yeah that's some weird. Stuff that's.

Much, yeah. Absolutely, OH.

1345
01:14:30.720 --> 01:14:34.239
I think we should say something about a certain.

1346
01:14:34.319 --> 01:14:36.880
SOMEBODY i WAS i was going to ask if you

1347
01:14:36.960 --> 01:14:43.760
had any words hopefully some people, well you, know no.

1348
01:14:43.880 --> 01:14:49.039
Matter so, yeah if you, know you know the information

1349
01:14:49.159 --> 01:14:50.479
about what, happened what's.

1350
01:14:50.520 --> 01:14:51.680
PUBLIC i guess.

1351
01:14:53.920 --> 01:14:57.119
We did lose quite a figure in The bigfoot community

1352
01:14:57.199 --> 01:14:59.119
or it became public, today, Correct.

1353
01:14:59.680 --> 01:15:04.119
Yeah as far AS i, know it became. Public so

1354
01:15:04.600 --> 01:15:07.319
the person that we lost was pretty much the founding

1355
01:15:07.399 --> 01:15:11.840
member of The Bluff Creek project who got The Bluff

1356
01:15:11.840 --> 01:15:15.199
Creek project together to find The Patterson gemmin film. Site

1357
01:15:15.239 --> 01:15:17.279
AND i just found out that he passed away. Today

1358
01:15:17.359 --> 01:15:21.600
so and that person Was Steven. Strufford, yeah people might

1359
01:15:21.640 --> 01:15:24.399
have seen him in the Movie Willow creek With Bobcat.

1360
01:15:24.399 --> 01:15:31.279
Goldweight he was on finding bigfoots. Before he's been a

1361
01:15:31.279 --> 01:15:35.399
bunch of different. Things SO i saw in the chat

1362
01:15:36.520 --> 01:15:39.239
kind of like mid day to day that he passed,

1363
01:15:39.239 --> 01:15:41.880
away AND i was like, thinking there's no way it's,

1364
01:15:41.880 --> 01:15:46.359
Real BUT i guess it is because people have been

1365
01:15:46.359 --> 01:15:50.640
posting about it and so it's.

1366
01:15:50.720 --> 01:15:54.039
Real it's really sad.

1367
01:15:54.119 --> 01:15:57.239
News he's also was the owner of Big Foot, books

1368
01:15:57.359 --> 01:16:00.840
which was a huge part of the big community in that.

1369
01:16:00.920 --> 01:16:01.119
Town.

1370
01:16:01.279 --> 01:16:05.319
Correct, yeah it was, LIKE i, Mean Willow creek was

1371
01:16:05.359 --> 01:16:08.039
a small town. Anyway it's like they only had they

1372
01:16:08.039 --> 01:16:11.720
had a, museum The China Flat, museum which is a cool.

1373
01:16:11.880 --> 01:16:16.239
MUSEUM i encourage anybody to check it, out but it's

1374
01:16:16.279 --> 01:16:19.880
it's kind of like a museum about the history Of Willow.

1375
01:16:19.920 --> 01:16:22.680
Creek and then there's like a little back room that's

1376
01:16:22.720 --> 01:16:25.199
dedicated solely To. Bigfoot so there's like, that there's a

1377
01:16:25.239 --> 01:16:31.000
Few bigfoot wooden, statues there's Some bigfoot. Theme but, yeah

1378
01:16:31.039 --> 01:16:34.520
he ran The bigfoot bookstore In Willow creek and that

1379
01:16:34.560 --> 01:16:37.399
was kind of like the hub for people to come

1380
01:16:37.439 --> 01:16:40.680
and tell their stories to people In Willow creek because

1381
01:16:40.680 --> 01:16:46.000
