Season 1

Around 3 a.m., four workers on Vancouver Island’s West Coast Trail woke to something pounding against their remote cabin. They were too frightened to turn on a light. Their inspection the next morning left them with another mystery.


In Bigfoot Society Episode 1210, Jeremiah Byron hears firsthand accounts from people describing unexplained encounters across North America. A West Virginia witness recalls opening his bedroom curtain as a child and finding a figure roughly three feet away. An Alabama deer hunter describes a missing gut pile, a snapping branch behind him, and a massive gray creature moving through Bankhead Forest.


From heavy footsteps outside a Utah tent to strange activity on a secluded Oregon ranch, these witnesses share the details that have stayed with them for years.


What did those four workers hear outside their cabin? Listen to their account and what they discovered in daylight.

00:00:00.210 --> 00:00:03.129
You're listening to Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In

2
00:00:03.149 --> 00:00:05.809
this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring

3
00:00:05.849 --> 00:00:09.880
you firsthand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible.

4
00:00:10.140 --> 00:00:13.720
From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms

5
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:17.140
and crowded highways, the stories come from everywhere, and each

6
00:00:17.260 --> 00:00:21.089
one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are

7
00:00:21.140 --> 00:00:24.579
the voices of the people who've lived it. So settle

8
00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:27.960
in because today you'll hear another account that just might

9
00:00:28.019 --> 00:00:30.839
change the way you see the woods forever. So stay

10
00:00:30.859 --> 00:00:33.479
with us. Please keep Jeremiah in your prayers as he

11
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.799
continues his fight against cancer. For more updates about his

12
00:00:37.859 --> 00:00:41.679
medical journey, please go to the CaringBridge link in the

13
00:00:41.740 --> 00:00:47.229

14
00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:47.929
All right.

15
00:00:47.990 --> 00:00:49.810
So what have you experienced?

16
00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:56.149
It was in, let me see, 07.

17
00:00:56.130 --> 00:01:03.219
I was in the Uinta Mountains in Utah with my sister.

18
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:09.019
And we were staying in a cabin.

19
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.670
It was like a Porus Ranger cabin that is no

20
00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:15.890
longer in operation, but they use it to like rent

21
00:01:15.930 --> 00:01:20.019
it out for like camping and stuff. So we were

22
00:01:20.060 --> 00:01:25.159
staying there and we kind of went to bed kind

23
00:01:25.180 --> 00:01:27.140
of early. We were actually, me and her were pitching

24
00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:32.209
a tent outside the cabin and her husband and one

25
00:01:32.250 --> 00:01:35.569
of the kids was inside the cabin, but we're sisters.

26
00:01:35.629 --> 00:01:38.269
So I, we wanted to do sister bonding time. Um,

27
00:01:39.769 --> 00:01:43.620
there were some cows, those on the hill. There's a

28
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:48.400
lot of cows. It's like cattle country, like grazing. Very

29
00:01:48.579 --> 00:01:56.069
off the beaten path, about five miles off the main

30
00:01:56.950 --> 00:01:58.430
road onto.

31
00:01:58.090 --> 00:01:59.349
Like a forest road.

32
00:02:00.230 --> 00:02:03.359
So very much set back and there was like hills

33
00:02:03.420 --> 00:02:04.560
and mountains around us.

34
00:02:06.500 --> 00:02:09.580
And it wasn't until like.

35
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:12.460
That night, the first two nights we slept in the tent,

36
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.370
you know, we were just there for a couple of days.

37
00:02:15.270 --> 00:02:20.250
First night, the cows kind of died. They were kind

38
00:02:20.289 --> 00:02:22.620
of loud. It was kind of hard to sleep. And

39
00:02:22.629 --> 00:02:25.860
then around maybe 10, they kind of started to die down.

40
00:02:26.539 --> 00:02:27.759
You could hear coyotes.

41
00:02:29.460 --> 00:02:31.819
But then a little while later, it got really quiet,

42
00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:40.539
like dead silent quiet. And we heard something very, very large.

43
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:49.199
I thought maybe a bear. But it was really, really loud.

44
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.969
Like it was coming through the brush and it was

45
00:02:55.250 --> 00:03:00.449
almost shaking the ground. And it sounded to me like,

46
00:03:00.729 --> 00:03:04.009
and we were both awake, that it was on two feet.

47
00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:10.699
And then in the morning, after that, we kind of stopped.

48
00:03:11.689 --> 00:03:14.590
we kind of like shine the flashlight and tried to

49
00:03:14.629 --> 00:03:18.469
look around and, you know, it went away. And then

50
00:03:18.509 --> 00:03:20.129
we finally, you know, went to bed. And then the

51
00:03:20.189 --> 00:03:23.289
morning it was like probably about seven 30 in the

52
00:03:23.349 --> 00:03:27.030
morning and she was still sleeping, but I was reading

53
00:03:27.069 --> 00:03:31.069
a book in the tent. So I was awake and

54
00:03:31.110 --> 00:03:36.810
I heard two loud whoops, like whoop, whoop.

55
00:03:37.310 --> 00:03:43.710
And then I'll pause and And another whoop, whoop.

56
00:03:44.770 --> 00:03:46.789
And then I looked to her and she, I'm like,

57
00:03:46.889 --> 00:03:48.789
and then she kind of woke up at the last part.

58
00:03:49.409 --> 00:03:52.780
And I'm like, I didn't really, like, I always kind

59
00:03:52.810 --> 00:03:55.340
of believed in Bigfoot, but I didn't know they made

60
00:03:55.379 --> 00:03:58.620
those sounds. So I was looking at her and I'm like, what,

61
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:03.460
what bird makes that sound? And she's like, I don't know. And,

62
00:04:04.139 --> 00:04:08.409
and it wasn't until I got back from our trip

63
00:04:08.490 --> 00:04:14.689
and did some research online and, heard the Sierra sounds, um,

64
00:04:14.830 --> 00:04:20.209
recording from California that it sounded exactly like the whoops

65
00:04:20.290 --> 00:04:25.170
that were in that recording. So I could have potentially

66
00:04:25.209 --> 00:04:31.660
had a Bigfoot, you know, very close. It sounded very close. Um,

67
00:04:31.699 --> 00:04:35.199
but I, you know, didn't look, look outside the tent

68
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.660
and the morning, I didn't think the whoops were correlated

69
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:39.279
with anything.

70
00:04:42.370 --> 00:04:46.769
When you got outside the next morning, when it was

71
00:04:46.829 --> 00:04:51.370
light out, did you see any signs of things being

72
00:04:51.430 --> 00:04:54.209
messed with around the camp or any tracks or anything

73
00:04:54.230 --> 00:04:54.550
like that?

74
00:04:56.730 --> 00:05:00.500
No, because I really wasn't thinking it was a Bigfoot

75
00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:01.000
at all.

76
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.759
I thought it was a bird. So I wasn't looking

77
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:05.319
for anything.

78
00:05:05.939 --> 00:05:08.259
You know, we talked about the noises and stuff and

79
00:05:08.310 --> 00:05:10.410
I'm like, that was kind of, that was really loud.

80
00:05:10.490 --> 00:05:12.610
And the night before we're like, that was really loud.

81
00:05:12.670 --> 00:05:17.069
And it sounded like, you know, and I said, that

82
00:05:17.110 --> 00:05:20.550
didn't sound like just like a deer or anything.

83
00:05:20.629 --> 00:05:22.490
I'm like, maybe it was a bear.

84
00:05:22.569 --> 00:05:25.990
And, but it was really crashing through kind of like,

85
00:05:26.550 --> 00:05:30.920
it sounded like crashing through the brush. Like it sounded bipedal,

86
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.709
but the whoops, I didn't correlate that together. So I

87
00:05:35.750 --> 00:05:38.550
wasn't looking around for like any sign of anything. There

88
00:05:38.589 --> 00:05:40.810
was nothing really messed up on the, like we had

89
00:05:40.870 --> 00:05:44.550
this fire pit in our camp chairs and, and all

90
00:05:44.589 --> 00:05:48.470
that wasn't really disturbed. But there was like a little

91
00:05:48.509 --> 00:05:51.410
walkway that went over, um, like a bridge that goes

92
00:05:51.470 --> 00:05:55.699
over a stream. Um, that's a good, probably 50 feet

93
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:58.959
on the other side of the stream that it might've

94
00:05:58.980 --> 00:06:01.360
been coming from there, you know, from that area, it

95
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:02.120
was very close.

96
00:06:03.810 --> 00:06:04.500
Absolutely.

97
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.180
Are you able to share what part of the Uinta

98
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.040
mountains it was in specifically?

99
00:06:11.339 --> 00:06:14.680
Yeah, it was, I put it on the BFRO website

100
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:15.699
as an encounter.

101
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.990
It was north of Vernal, Utah.

102
00:06:22.370 --> 00:06:26.730
So coming up, I forget what my actual, you know,

103
00:06:26.769 --> 00:06:27.610
the coordinates was.

104
00:06:27.629 --> 00:06:29.740
It was, it's all on the report.

105
00:06:29.819 --> 00:06:34.480
But it was, there's a major road that comes up

106
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:39.040
from Vernal, Utah. And that's, you know, the one we took.

107
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.110
And then we took a forest road off of that

108
00:06:42.009 --> 00:06:44.350
to get to the cabin. And it's like a forest

109
00:06:44.389 --> 00:06:47.850
ranger cabin that they rent out, you know. It was

110
00:06:47.870 --> 00:06:51.189
just a really windy road and, you know, people camping

111
00:06:51.269 --> 00:06:52.930
on the, you know, as you start to go and

112
00:06:52.949 --> 00:06:56.589
then it forks off to the left. And that was

113
00:06:56.610 --> 00:06:59.569
the only, when you're going down to the left, that's

114
00:06:59.610 --> 00:07:04.040
like the only like ranger station. We did see a

115
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.699
cowboy go by on a horse, and he was probably

116
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.600
part of the ranch people. But other than that, we

117
00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:12.319
were the only people out on that cabin.

118
00:07:12.339 --> 00:07:14.160
Hmm.

119
00:07:15.850 --> 00:07:18.389
Do you know if... Did you ever look to see

120
00:07:18.449 --> 00:07:22.029
if there'd been any other encounters reported in the same area?

121
00:07:22.910 --> 00:07:24.189
Yes, there have been.

122
00:07:24.209 --> 00:07:24.269
In.

123
00:07:29.569 --> 00:07:31.990
I think there's two others on the website, on the

124
00:07:32.029 --> 00:07:37.209
BFRO website anyway, of a similar area.

125
00:07:39.610 --> 00:07:41.949
Coming up from Vernal in Uintas.

126
00:07:42.350 --> 00:07:48.149
And there's another one that's a little bit more northwest

127
00:07:48.189 --> 00:07:53.860
of my location, but not that far, maybe 30 minutes,

128
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:58.660
you know. not like not like an hour North or anything.

129
00:07:58.699 --> 00:08:00.959
It's like 30 minutes maybe when I looked at the map.

130
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:08.670
Very interesting. Thank you for, for sharing that. Uh, have

131
00:08:08.699 --> 00:08:11.269
you ever gone out to that area again or was

132
00:08:11.290 --> 00:08:12.149
that a one-time deal?

133
00:08:12.990 --> 00:08:15.610
Um, it was a one-time deal, but I think I

134
00:08:15.649 --> 00:08:19.949
probably want to go back there and, you know, explore

135
00:08:20.029 --> 00:08:25.029
it in a different mindset and, and, uh, See what

136
00:08:25.069 --> 00:08:28.310
I see, if I can pick up anything or see anything,

137
00:08:28.350 --> 00:08:31.310
you know, be more aware of, you know, I really

138
00:08:31.350 --> 00:08:35.399
didn't even correlate those whoops. So he was extremely close.

139
00:08:36.779 --> 00:08:39.899
The morning there were no, I woke up and I

140
00:08:40.019 --> 00:08:42.759
was like, there was no noises. There was no birds chirping.

141
00:08:43.539 --> 00:08:46.909
There was no normal noises that you would hear normally

142
00:08:46.929 --> 00:08:52.029
when you are waking up in outside in the summertime.

143
00:08:52.950 --> 00:08:53.809
It was during the summer.

144
00:08:53.830 --> 00:08:57.289
It was in July, you know, and it was dead

145
00:08:57.350 --> 00:08:59.669
silent when I heard those whoops, which was the other

146
00:08:59.789 --> 00:09:00.269
odd thing.

147
00:09:04.740 --> 00:09:09.019
Nurse, thank you for sharing. It's definitely an interesting anecdote

148
00:09:09.059 --> 00:09:14.159
about a weird, a weird experience in that area. So

149
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.500
definitely an area to keep in mind. And thank you

150
00:09:16.539 --> 00:09:17.279
for coming up tonight.

151
00:09:17.700 --> 00:09:17.940
All right.

152
00:09:17.980 --> 00:09:18.440
Thank you.

153
00:09:18.460 --> 00:09:20.580
Have a good night.

154
00:09:20.779 --> 00:09:21.259
Yeah, you too.

155
00:09:24.820 --> 00:09:29.240
All right. That's the first person to share and sharing

156
00:09:29.460 --> 00:09:35.470
some interesting things that happened in the Uinta Mountains of Utah. Hey, Brian,

157
00:09:35.529 --> 00:09:37.250
this is Jeremiah.

158
00:09:37.470 --> 00:09:37.789
Awesome.

159
00:09:38.009 --> 00:09:41.250
It sounds like you've had an interesting thing happen in

160
00:09:41.289 --> 00:09:43.509
West Virginia. Would you be able to share that?

161
00:09:45.139 --> 00:09:48.600
Yeah. It was a brief encounter. It was 1987. I

162
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:54.909
was just a kid then. Of course, I'm 49 now.

163
00:09:54.929 --> 00:10:00.070
We didn't have air conditions.

164
00:10:01.899 --> 00:10:04.700
Back then, and we slept with the windows open so

165
00:10:05.059 --> 00:10:08.879
we could get the night breeze. And I was asleep,

166
00:10:10.019 --> 00:10:15.220
and something.

167
00:10:12.779 --> 00:10:13.360
Woke me up.

168
00:10:14.370 --> 00:10:17.690
The sound outside the window. My bed is right underneath

169
00:10:17.750 --> 00:10:20.919
the window. I had the curtains closed, but I could

170
00:10:20.940 --> 00:10:23.919
feel that cool breeze coming through the curtain and blowing

171
00:10:23.940 --> 00:10:26.480
down on me. But the sound that woke me was

172
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:32.519
that sound of heavy breathing, like if you're like a

173
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:35.990
dog sniffing in a doorway or something like that, you

174
00:10:36.009 --> 00:10:36.950
could hear the wind.

175
00:10:38.289 --> 00:10:40.850
And I pulled.

176
00:10:40.610 --> 00:10:45.620
The curtain, well, Where I grew up at, we had

177
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:50.779
an outside light shining onto our driveway, and my bedroom

178
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:56.620
window faced the driveway, and I first seen a silhouette

179
00:10:56.899 --> 00:11:00.509
when I opened the curtain, and I was still half asleep,

180
00:11:00.590 --> 00:11:04.769
and I didn't realize what I'm looking at. Then it grunted,

181
00:11:04.789 --> 00:11:08.860
and then my eyes focused a little better, and I

182
00:11:08.889 --> 00:11:14.759
was staring face-to-face within, I don't know, three.

183
00:11:14.620 --> 00:11:20.590
Feet of it face to face. I got scared.

184
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.870
I rushed up, slammed the window shut, and pulled the

185
00:11:24.909 --> 00:11:27.169
curtain back to, I laid back down on my bed,

186
00:11:27.490 --> 00:11:28.629
pulled the covers back up.

187
00:11:28.649 --> 00:11:32.789
Over my head, and I was just laying there scared

188
00:11:32.830 --> 00:11:33.230
to death.

189
00:11:34.049 --> 00:11:38.409
Well, it moved away from the window and right next

190
00:11:38.450 --> 00:11:43.509
to the, I have another window at my headboard, And

191
00:11:43.750 --> 00:11:46.840
it was walking across the porch because I could hear it,

192
00:11:47.629 --> 00:11:53.250
the heavy steps or landfalls on the boards of our porch.

193
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.080
We had no roof over it, but every time anyone

194
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:58.759
walked across it, you could hear it creak.

195
00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:00.820
And it was creaking.

196
00:12:01.700 --> 00:12:06.460
It actually broke the second step of our porch when

197
00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:10.419
it stepped up. And it walked across all the way

198
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:14.779
to the length of our porch. It came off because

199
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:16.620
I was looking out the window, and when I watched

200
00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:18.679
it from its backside, and.

201
00:12:20.940 --> 00:12:22.240
When it stepped off.

202
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:23.850
The other side, it didn't even look like it jumped

203
00:12:23.950 --> 00:12:28.169
or anything. It just kind of, you know, just kind

204
00:12:28.210 --> 00:12:32.929
of jumped. The porch was only four foot off the ground,

205
00:12:32.990 --> 00:12:38.149
so it stepped off with ease. And then it just

206
00:12:38.269 --> 00:12:39.730
went on out of sight, and.

207
00:12:41.330 --> 00:12:47.730
That whole encounter probably lasted, I don't know, maybe five minutes.

208
00:12:49.210 --> 00:12:51.570
And then I was scared to death.

209
00:12:51.809 --> 00:12:57.049
I ran through the house, woke my parents up to

210
00:12:57.100 --> 00:12:58.009
tell them about it.

211
00:12:58.539 --> 00:13:01.919
They just told me I was just having a bad dream.

212
00:13:02.460 --> 00:13:07.500
Go back to bed. It'll be all right. And that

213
00:13:07.539 --> 00:13:08.860
was my brief encounter.

214
00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:14.500
Brian, that is a wild one. Did you ever look

215
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.659
to see if there'd been any other sightings in the

216
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:18.259
same area?

217
00:13:19.870 --> 00:13:21.990
Never did because I was just a kid at the time,

218
00:13:23.490 --> 00:13:24.809
but not until I got older.

219
00:13:25.809 --> 00:13:32.220
Then I started looking into sightings around the area. There's been.

220
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.929
I have moved from where I grew up at, probably

221
00:13:36.970 --> 00:13:40.309
about 30 miles away. There's been a sighting where I

222
00:13:40.389 --> 00:13:43.730
live now, but I haven't seen one since I was

223
00:13:43.769 --> 00:13:49.070
a kid. And there was four other sightings where I

224
00:13:49.149 --> 00:13:51.269
used to live because I used.

225
00:13:51.169 --> 00:13:52.590
To go coon hunting a lot.

226
00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:56.919
And some of my friends that I used to go

227
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:58.700
hunting with, I didn't always get to go with them,

228
00:13:58.740 --> 00:14:03.899
but they have... clean spot in and around the area

229
00:14:03.940 --> 00:14:04.299
I used.

230
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:04.659
To live in.

231
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:12.200
It's very interesting. Are you able to share what county

232
00:14:12.379 --> 00:14:13.000
that happened in?

233
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:17.450
Yeah, that was in Ona, West Virginia, Cabell County.

234
00:14:20.990 --> 00:14:21.250
Wow.

235
00:14:22.350 --> 00:14:26.470
Thank you for sharing, Brian. That was a pretty intense

236
00:14:26.590 --> 00:14:29.460
one and gives me a new area to be aware of.

237
00:14:29.769 --> 00:14:30.110
Thank you.

238
00:14:31.220 --> 00:14:31.700
You're welcome.

239
00:14:32.860 --> 00:14:38.809
Hello, Frank. I'm going to. I've noticed you've tried to

240
00:14:38.850 --> 00:14:42.250
come up a few times. So I'm going to request

241
00:14:42.269 --> 00:14:42.649
you here.

242
00:14:42.669 --> 00:14:44.509
Hi, Jeremiah.

243
00:14:45.509 --> 00:14:48.620
Hey, hello, Frank. Would you would you mind sharing what

244
00:14:48.659 --> 00:14:49.840
you've experienced?

245
00:14:49.860 --> 00:14:49.940
Yeah.

246
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:53.080
Yeah. If you can hear me, I'll share it.

247
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:54.620
All right.

248
00:14:55.620 --> 00:15:00.799
So I was a deer hunter, you know, all my life.

249
00:15:01.419 --> 00:15:03.820
Come up in Alabama, and of course, you know, that's

250
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.759
what we do down there. I know you have a

251
00:15:06.740 --> 00:15:10.419
lot of hunters on your podcast because, you know, we're

252
00:15:10.470 --> 00:15:13.830
always in the woods and seem to have a lot

253
00:15:13.870 --> 00:15:22.350
of encounters, you know. But I was hunting in Bankhead Forest. Hey, gatekeeper. Hello, darling.

254
00:15:23.100 --> 00:15:27.460
I was hunting in Bankhead Forest, and I was on

255
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:33.440
a three-day management hunt. actually there and uh so you

256
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:39.039

257
00:15:39.059 --> 00:15:41.639

258
00:15:42.700 --> 00:15:45.399

gang wardens you know station to get your your permit

260
00:15:49.990 --> 00:15:51.909

261
00:15:51.950 --> 00:15:55.570

262
00:15:55.590 --> 00:16:00.139
permit or because they'll sure bust you but anyway So, yeah,

263
00:16:00.779 --> 00:16:04.179
I went that morning, Friday morning. Got up real early.

264
00:16:04.220 --> 00:16:07.340
I was excited about the hunt, you know. Three-day hunt.

265
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.750
Had the weekend off. Drywall contractor. I've been working hard,

266
00:16:10.789 --> 00:16:15.610
so I was really looking forward to it. But anyway,

267
00:16:15.629 --> 00:16:21.289
so I get my permit and, you know, go. And

268
00:16:21.590 --> 00:16:25.759
I get in my thing and, you know, get there

269
00:16:25.779 --> 00:16:28.799
pretty early. because I was at the game warden station

270
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:32.440
at 3 a.m., you know, like everybody early getting in hunting,

271
00:16:32.460 --> 00:16:35.779
and they go in the woods, and get in the woods,

272
00:16:35.850 --> 00:16:38.190
and when you have a big hunt like this, you know,

273
00:16:38.730 --> 00:16:41.190
guys moving in and out of the woods can jump

274
00:16:41.210 --> 00:16:44.009
deer and run them to you, so anyway, I got

275
00:16:44.049 --> 00:16:47.029
into my spot, and I was on a green field

276
00:16:47.049 --> 00:16:50.419
that I'd been hunting for about 10 years, and I,

277
00:16:50.409 --> 00:16:54.289
you know, nobody else on this green field, usually but me,

278
00:16:54.350 --> 00:16:57.330
and of course it was that way, this this time,

279
00:16:58.529 --> 00:17:03.759
but I got in there real early and had two doe,

280
00:17:05.339 --> 00:17:07.859
and I always say they ain't brother and sister, I

281
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.680
say that because, you know, usually you see two, they're twins,

282
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:12.589
but they were, one of them was older than the

283
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:16.710
other one, but anyway, these two doe come down in

284
00:17:16.750 --> 00:17:19.190
front of me and, you know, went on past me

285
00:17:19.230 --> 00:17:23.130
and I, you know, of course, Didn't shoot them. It

286
00:17:23.170 --> 00:17:24.990
was a buck and a doe. You could take a

287
00:17:25.049 --> 00:17:27.490
buck or a doe, either one, but, you know, little deer,

288
00:17:27.509 --> 00:17:29.470
I wasn't going to, you know, shoot them or anything.

289
00:17:29.490 --> 00:17:34.779
I just let them go. But nothing else come by

290
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:39.039
that morning, which, you know, that's kind of strange because

291
00:17:39.660 --> 00:17:41.380
I've been on a bunch of these hunts and they,

292
00:17:42.369 --> 00:17:48.190
you know, just usually have a lot of movement, you know.

293
00:17:48.809 --> 00:17:52.619
But anyway, so I... I sat there about lunch, and

294
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:57.039
I went home. Back at lunch, I don't live far

295
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:01.380
from back here, so I just went back to the house.

296
00:18:02.660 --> 00:18:05.400
I grabbed a sandwich or something, a couple bottles of water,

297
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:09.519
and went back for the evening hunt. I went back

298
00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:17.410
to the evening hunt, and these two does that I

299
00:18:17.630 --> 00:18:22.190
had seen that morning come They were just running back

300
00:18:22.329 --> 00:18:24.930
at me. And I knew it was them because they'd

301
00:18:25.009 --> 00:18:29.390
pass in that morning. But they just, at 2 o'clock,

302
00:18:29.410 --> 00:18:31.200
they used to come back to bed, you know, in

303
00:18:31.220 --> 00:18:34.099
the evening about 4 o'clock. I mean, just like clockwork,

304
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:37.259
they would feed down through the holler, go get water

305
00:18:37.299 --> 00:18:40.680
and whatever and come back in the evening. Anyway, about

306
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:43.750
2 o'clock, real out of character, these two deer come

307
00:18:44.250 --> 00:18:47.990
running at me on my side of the ridge. And

308
00:18:48.009 --> 00:18:52.599
they were running like, predators chasing them, you know, which,

309
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.549
you know, we got, we got coyotes and we got bobcats.

310
00:18:56.609 --> 00:18:59.210
We don't have bears. We don't have wolves, you know,

311
00:18:59.349 --> 00:19:02.930
nothing like that. But anyway, just the way they acting,

312
00:19:02.970 --> 00:19:06.230
but they, they got to my, where I was at

313
00:19:06.269 --> 00:19:12.490
and they stopped right in front of me. Just, just weird. They,

314
00:19:12.690 --> 00:19:16.299
they looking at me and they'd look back and they,

315
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:19.789
they'd not, go down to the ground like I'd sniff

316
00:19:19.829 --> 00:19:21.970
in the ground or something and they'd look at me

317
00:19:21.990 --> 00:19:24.009
and they'd look back and they stayed there for just

318
00:19:24.549 --> 00:19:29.109
a minute or two. It was really, really strange. But,

319
00:19:29.490 --> 00:19:32.490
you know, animals are strange, but I thought a buck

320
00:19:32.539 --> 00:19:37.380
was chasing them. You know, or something because I don't know.

321
00:19:39.220 --> 00:19:41.799
But they looked like a predator was chasing them, real spooky.

322
00:19:42.619 --> 00:19:44.500
And they stayed there just a second and they looked

323
00:19:44.539 --> 00:19:47.950
back time or two and then they took off trotting

324
00:19:47.990 --> 00:19:51.240
and then they busted into a run and they you

325
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:53.720
know run on run up there and back to their

326
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:58.559
bed in there and I you know weird but animals

327
00:19:58.579 --> 00:20:01.079
are weird you know so I didn't see anything else

328
00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:05.160
that day so I went back to the house and

329
00:20:05.589 --> 00:20:07.809
got up next morning going to do it again so

330
00:20:07.829 --> 00:20:10.869
I already got my permit and everything so I I

331
00:20:11.009 --> 00:20:15.059
go back to my spot where I'm at, and I

332
00:20:15.299 --> 00:20:18.400
get in there pretty early. Sure enough, about 8 o'clock,

333
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:23.279
here comes Big Dope by herself. You know, she didn't

334
00:20:23.299 --> 00:20:25.140
have no little ones with her or nothing, so I'm

335
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:27.420
fixing to put some meat in the freezer. So I

336
00:20:28.190 --> 00:20:30.349
got a 30-30. I've been using it all my life,

337
00:20:30.450 --> 00:20:34.670
and I, you know, of course, you know, one shot, and,

338
00:20:34.990 --> 00:20:37.460
you know, I didn't want to shoot her in the

339
00:20:37.539 --> 00:20:40.180
vitals because I didn't want to really mess her up.

340
00:20:40.339 --> 00:20:42.720
So I knew I'd, you know, fix and clean her

341
00:20:42.740 --> 00:20:44.900
and take care of her right there. So, you know,

342
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:49.170
just one shot to the head and she, she's, you know,

343
00:20:49.210 --> 00:20:53.849
dispatched her really, really clean, really quick. And I, you know,

344
00:20:53.869 --> 00:20:57.650
now the work's on. So I, I got down there

345
00:20:57.690 --> 00:20:59.710
and I, and I had a little creek, you know,

346
00:20:59.730 --> 00:21:01.339
I was lucky. I had a little creek running down

347
00:21:01.380 --> 00:21:05.190
through the middle of the hollow. And I, so I,

348
00:21:05.900 --> 00:21:08.720
I started cleaning her up. And you know what I mean,

349
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:12.440
I tried to make it as clean as I can

350
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:14.700
so I didn't mess her up on the inside. And

351
00:21:15.549 --> 00:21:19.130
I just unzipped her and whatever and reached up in

352
00:21:19.170 --> 00:21:22.329
there and cut her windpipe, reached back here and cut

353
00:21:22.369 --> 00:21:26.170
her anal tube. And just everything come out at one time.

354
00:21:26.190 --> 00:21:30.210
That's what I'm saying. It was a whole pile of

355
00:21:30.690 --> 00:21:35.809
gut piles right there. Really clean. I forgot a buddy

356
00:21:35.829 --> 00:21:37.529
of mine was supposed to meet me down there, you know,

357
00:21:37.589 --> 00:21:40.230
he was hunting one ridge over, and he didn't make it,

358
00:21:40.230 --> 00:21:42.730
and I didn't bring a cart, so now I got

359
00:21:42.750 --> 00:21:45.210
a carrier out of there. I didn't bring nothing with me,

360
00:21:45.230 --> 00:21:49.759
so I threw her over my shoulder, and I, you know,

361
00:21:49.910 --> 00:21:52.839
carried her up to the green field up this real

362
00:21:52.859 --> 00:21:55.319
steep hill because I was sitting down on the other

363
00:21:55.339 --> 00:21:57.460
side of the hollow looking back at this green field.

364
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:00.660
But I got in the green field, and I kind

365
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:02.700
of roped her. Anyway, I bet I got her to

366
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:07.569
the truck. And I went and I took her by

367
00:22:08.269 --> 00:22:11.529
the processor right there around the house, you know, and

368
00:22:11.569 --> 00:22:15.200
dropped her off. And so I've harvested a doe and now,

369
00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:17.700
you know, I've got a chance to harvest a buck.

370
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:20.980
So I did about the same thing. I dropped her

371
00:22:21.019 --> 00:22:22.940
off at the processor and I went to my house

372
00:22:23.019 --> 00:22:28.200
and got some lunch, you know, again. And I just

373
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:30.000
don't really hunt in the middle of the daytime, you know,

374
00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:31.779
unless the rut's really on. I mean, it's just good

375
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:33.680
in the morning and the evening. There's nothing really moving

376
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:36.890
in the daytime, but The big bucks don't anyway, unless

377
00:22:36.910 --> 00:22:41.569
the rut's on. So, anyway, I got, I went back

378
00:22:41.589 --> 00:22:45.789
to my spot to hunt the evening hunt. And, you know,

379
00:22:47.309 --> 00:22:51.690
this gut pile, the gut pile's gone. You know, the

380
00:22:51.710 --> 00:22:55.710
whole gut pile's gone. I was like, man, am I

381
00:22:55.779 --> 00:22:58.460
in the right place? I mean, I've hunted down there forever.

382
00:22:59.460 --> 00:23:02.619
You know, I just questioned myself. I looked down there

383
00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:05.990
and You know, it's little blood on the leaves and stuff.

384
00:23:06.190 --> 00:23:09.380
And I knew I was in the right spot. And

385
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:17.519
I seen where, you know, it is like a, you know,

386
00:23:17.539 --> 00:23:20.819
where the gut pile was laid. You could almost see,

387
00:23:20.900 --> 00:23:22.700
because I mean, I know where I left it. It's

388
00:23:23.059 --> 00:23:26.420
right there, you know, where I've been for so many times.

389
00:23:27.779 --> 00:23:30.049
And there was little blood on the leaves. And it,

390
00:23:30.980 --> 00:23:34.299
you know, Down in there, I'm the only one there.

391
00:23:35.559 --> 00:23:38.700
And looking up beside that creek, you know, thinking back,

392
00:23:40.349 --> 00:23:44.049
looking upside that creek, I can't say I've seen footprints,

393
00:23:44.650 --> 00:23:49.130
but I've seen depressions. It looked like where the leaves

394
00:23:49.150 --> 00:23:54.329
were mashed down. Like something had picked it up and

395
00:23:54.529 --> 00:24:01.170
just walked off with. You know, and I just, I

396
00:24:01.210 --> 00:24:05.009
thought to myself, I thought, wow, man, what a pack

397
00:24:05.049 --> 00:24:08.369
of coyotes come down here and ate that gut pile up.

398
00:24:08.450 --> 00:24:11.470
This little time I was gone, me sitting on the ground,

399
00:24:11.509 --> 00:24:13.809
you know. I mean, it made me nervous. I mean,

400
00:24:13.849 --> 00:24:16.430
that's what I thought at the time. That's the only

401
00:24:16.450 --> 00:24:18.789
thing I could think of. But, you know, I should

402
00:24:18.809 --> 00:24:21.730
have known it wasn't a pack of coyotes. They get

403
00:24:21.750 --> 00:24:23.849
a hold of something. They ravish it. They mess the

404
00:24:23.890 --> 00:24:27.890
leaves up. They just, you know. But at the time,

405
00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:32.740
that's what I could come up with. So I went

406
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:38.480
ahead and hunted on that evening, and nothing moving at all.

407
00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:45.220
So well, we get on a Sunday. So Sunday, I,

408
00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:49.140
of course, went back to my place again, just like

409
00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:52.299
I always do. It's a great place. I've hunted there

410
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:55.789
a lot and harvested a bunch of deer there. And

411
00:24:55.849 --> 00:25:00.329
I'm sitting there, and I sat there about 10 o'clock.

412
00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:03.660
I done said all I ever wanted to say. I mean,

413
00:25:03.740 --> 00:25:05.799
I done, you know, I done hunted hard, you know,

414
00:25:05.819 --> 00:25:11.880
had that doe the day before. When I carried her,

415
00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:14.960
you know, when I harvested that doe, when I carried

416
00:25:14.980 --> 00:25:17.710
her up the hill, I had to throw her over

417
00:25:17.750 --> 00:25:20.509
my shoulder and I had on my hunter's orange. And

418
00:25:20.549 --> 00:25:23.690
my hunter's orange had, you know, blood on it, you know.

419
00:25:25.309 --> 00:25:28.730
And I say that because I think that comes into

420
00:25:28.750 --> 00:25:30.940
play here Just a minute while I'm going to tell

421
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:35.369
you what happened. But anyway, I said all I was

422
00:25:35.380 --> 00:25:39.410
going to say. So I got up, and a buddy

423
00:25:39.430 --> 00:25:41.809
of mine told me about these waterfalls at the end

424
00:25:41.829 --> 00:25:44.970
of this green field. And I had never been all

425
00:25:44.990 --> 00:25:46.910
the way to the end of this green field, although

426
00:25:46.970 --> 00:25:49.349
I've hunted here, I just never went all the way

427
00:25:49.390 --> 00:25:52.740
to the end of it. And in the management area,

428
00:25:52.779 --> 00:25:55.599
they plant it, and it zigzagged like a zig all

429
00:25:55.619 --> 00:25:58.099
the way down through there. It was about three-quarters of

430
00:25:58.119 --> 00:26:02.029
a mile long, I guess. And they planted in zigzags

431
00:26:02.069 --> 00:26:05.329
so it would accommodate more hunters. But you can go

432
00:26:05.369 --> 00:26:07.309
down through the green field and come around the corner

433
00:26:07.329 --> 00:26:09.730
and there might be a deer feeding right out in

434
00:26:09.750 --> 00:26:14.210
the green field. So, you know, I was bored and

435
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:15.819
I was tired of sitting, so I was just going

436
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.420
to walk down here and look at these waterfalls. And

437
00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:24.599
I did. And I went down there and sure enough,

438
00:26:25.460 --> 00:26:30.819
these banquets full of waterfalls Beautiful waterfalls. It's, you know,

439
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.759
it's the foothills of Appalachian Mountains. And, I mean, that's

440
00:26:33.779 --> 00:26:36.819
what it's known for is the waterfalls. And this one

441
00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:41.500
was wild. And out in the middle, when I got

442
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:44.440
down here to the end, it was across the hollow.

443
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:47.900
Big waterfall coming off really pretty. Had one trickling down

444
00:26:47.940 --> 00:26:52.079
beside it. And it was probably, you know, 300 or

445
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:55.319
400 yards across this big hollow by the time I

446
00:26:55.359 --> 00:27:00.849
got down there. And, but anyway, so I just, you know,

447
00:27:00.990 --> 00:27:02.630
I sat there the last time of the year and

448
00:27:02.690 --> 00:27:05.390
I was taking in all the beauty, I was looking

449
00:27:05.410 --> 00:27:08.349
at this waterfall. So I lit a cigarette and I

450
00:27:08.390 --> 00:27:12.529
sat down and, you know, I was there for a

451
00:27:12.569 --> 00:27:16.809
minute and then, I don't know, about five minutes. And,

452
00:27:17.329 --> 00:27:20.490
you know, man, all of a sudden, behind me, a

453
00:27:22.950 --> 00:27:28.319
stick snapped. I mean, you can tell how big a

454
00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:30.440
limb is if you've been in the woods. I mean,

455
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:31.480
you know, I can tell you if it's a little

456
00:27:31.539 --> 00:27:35.619
twig like this, or if it's a good-sized limb. But anyway,

457
00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:42.160
something stepped on a limb and snapped. It scared me.

458
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:46.769
It was loud enough and close enough, it made me jump. And,

459
00:27:46.789 --> 00:27:52.490
you know, I'm right-handed. It was behind me, you know,

460
00:27:53.430 --> 00:27:57.940
it was behind me to my right. But anyway, I

461
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:01.579
jumped up and threw my gun up to my shoulder.

462
00:28:03.140 --> 00:28:05.869
And I had to spin all the way around, you know, like,

463
00:28:06.089 --> 00:28:08.630
to see what it was. Because it was behind me, like,

464
00:28:09.170 --> 00:28:13.430
to my, you know, 6 o'clock, or 5 o'clock anyway.

465
00:28:15.250 --> 00:28:18.069
I jumped up and turned around, and, you know, what

466
00:28:18.130 --> 00:28:23.569
I seen, it was gray. It was, I thought it

467
00:28:23.609 --> 00:28:26.769
might have been a white, and dirty, but I mean,

468
00:28:26.829 --> 00:28:32.069
it just, it was gray. It looked ratty. I'm sorry

469
00:28:32.089 --> 00:28:39.779
about this background noise there. And it looked mangy. It

470
00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:43.940
looked like, you know, I don't know, I took it

471
00:28:44.019 --> 00:28:46.700
as a, I took it as a male that had been,

472
00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:49.799
I don't know, either looking for new territory or maybe

473
00:28:49.859 --> 00:28:53.039
kicked out of the group, but it was smart enough

474
00:28:53.059 --> 00:28:56.029
to know what the gun was Because when I turned

475
00:28:56.049 --> 00:29:01.170
around with that gun, it took off. I never seen

476
00:29:01.190 --> 00:29:04.980
it in the face. But it was facing me one time.

477
00:29:05.019 --> 00:29:10.460
I think it smelled the blood on his arm. I

478
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:12.299
think it stalked up there to see if I was

479
00:29:12.339 --> 00:29:16.710
a wounded deer or something. Because by the time I

480
00:29:16.730 --> 00:29:25.470
turned around, it lunged back off of that hollow. and

481
00:29:25.509 --> 00:29:29.369
went down through that hollow. And I went running, I

482
00:29:29.369 --> 00:29:31.660
didn't know what it was. I went running up there,

483
00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:33.400
you know, I wasn't thinking big fluke, I was a

484
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:35.859
Sasquatch at the time. I went running up there with

485
00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:38.730
my rifle and looking through my scope, trying to see it.

486
00:29:39.380 --> 00:29:44.119
Not shoot it, really. Just see what it was. You

487
00:29:44.140 --> 00:29:49.759
could see it going. I watched it run down my

488
00:29:49.779 --> 00:29:54.079
side of the hollow and across that big hollow. It

489
00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:57.240
was bobbing through trees up and down through there. It

490
00:29:57.269 --> 00:30:02.680
went up beside them waterfalls. And over the hill, I mean,

491
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:09.099
it never looked bad, but, you know, it looked like

492
00:30:09.140 --> 00:30:17.660
a 10-foot tall, 600-pound orangutan. It was running so weird,

493
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:20.779
so fast, but so weird, it was running like it

494
00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:24.289
was sitting down in a chair. If that makes sense,

495
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:30.059
it's back legs. His back legs were pumping and, you know, running.

496
00:30:32.700 --> 00:30:36.599
Just like it was sitting down. It had its arms

497
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:40.460
out in front of it. You know, just like it

498
00:30:40.529 --> 00:30:43.769
was moving bushes out of the way or something. I mean,

499
00:30:43.789 --> 00:30:44.089
it just.

500
00:30:46.569 --> 00:30:49.170
It didn't even... I mean, it didn't look like it

501
00:30:49.210 --> 00:30:53.670
was using its arms really at all. Maybe coming off

502
00:30:53.750 --> 00:30:58.309
its fingers or something. But it... you know, leaves were

503
00:30:58.349 --> 00:31:00.910
off the trees at the end of January. And I mean,

504
00:31:00.950 --> 00:31:05.410
I watched it go around them trees, man. It went

505
00:31:05.450 --> 00:31:08.680
right up beside the waterfalls and over the hill. And,

506
00:31:09.619 --> 00:31:12.089
you know, it was gone just before I knew it.

507
00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:20.599
You know, walking, and I just, you know, I was puzzled.

508
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:24.819
I still didn't know what it was. Man, within 20 steps,

509
00:31:25.180 --> 00:31:29.940
I realized what had happened. everything started coming back to me,

510
00:31:29.980 --> 00:31:33.950
you know. Them dogs running up there to me like

511
00:31:33.990 --> 00:31:36.930
they did, like a predator was chasing them. The gut

512
00:31:36.990 --> 00:31:42.250
pile being gone and then, you know, just walking back

513
00:31:42.289 --> 00:31:50.940
to the truck. And so, I mean, just putting everything together.

514
00:31:50.980 --> 00:31:53.539
But when I come out to the gate where I

515
00:31:53.579 --> 00:31:57.069
come in, a game warden was there. And there's some

516
00:31:57.089 --> 00:32:01.630
old guys there, too. That gate is the same gate

517
00:32:01.650 --> 00:32:03.990
that the road, like they go to the power lines.

518
00:32:04.069 --> 00:32:06.450
The way I went cuts off a road and goes

519
00:32:06.470 --> 00:32:10.329
to my little, my green field there. And, you know,

520
00:32:10.349 --> 00:32:14.579
I asked the game warden. I said, hey, man. Y'all

521
00:32:14.619 --> 00:32:17.480
got a bigfoot up here, you know, in the woods?

522
00:32:17.500 --> 00:32:21.269
Y'all have anything? He just, I said, I told him,

523
00:32:21.299 --> 00:32:24.519
I said, man, you know, I've seen, I've seen a bigfoot.

524
00:32:24.660 --> 00:32:29.079
I've seen a Sasquatch. He said, I said, he said,

525
00:32:29.099 --> 00:32:32.000
I used to hunt with dogs up here. We got

526
00:32:32.019 --> 00:32:34.039
a lot of feral dogs. He said, you probably just

527
00:32:34.059 --> 00:32:38.220
seen a feral dog. I said, man, who you talking to?

528
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:42.150
You know, I'm a grown-ass man. I'm 55 years old.

529
00:32:42.190 --> 00:32:44.190
I know the difference between a dog. I just, you know,

530
00:32:44.210 --> 00:32:47.410
what I just seen was, you know, I know what

531
00:32:47.470 --> 00:32:50.150
it was. So he just kind of brushed me off.

532
00:32:50.190 --> 00:32:53.900
He kind of, you know, guys there that was with him,

533
00:32:53.910 --> 00:32:56.960
he checking license too. I just out and said it because,

534
00:32:57.299 --> 00:33:00.960
I mean, you know, in the moment. Of course, they

535
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:04.980
kind of snookered, kind of looked at me funny, you know. Because,

536
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:09.910
you know, I didn't share it with nobody for a

537
00:33:09.950 --> 00:33:14.230
long time because, you know, I got that kind of look.

538
00:33:14.269 --> 00:33:16.509
It ain't like it is now. Well, this is 2017. But,

539
00:33:16.529 --> 00:33:24.690
you know, then I, of course, you know, Like everybody else,

540
00:33:24.779 --> 00:33:27.420
once you have encountered one of these things, you kind

541
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:31.039
of start digging deep and listening to stuff. And everybody

542
00:33:31.059 --> 00:33:35.200
goes to YouTube, right? And I got to listen to

543
00:33:35.259 --> 00:33:40.240
Kerry on Bigfoot Odyssey. Yeah, I know. That's what I thought.

544
00:33:40.259 --> 00:33:43.220
That's what I thought I'd tell him. But, man, and Kerry,

545
00:33:43.380 --> 00:33:48.460
you know, I finally messaged Kerry. And, you know, he said, buddy,

546
00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:51.160
he said, let me tell you, man. They said, Kerry

547
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:54.359
had a terrifying encounter, if y'all haven't ever I heard

548
00:33:54.420 --> 00:33:58.599
Kerry Arnold, I mean, everybody sure has, God rest his soul, man,

549
00:33:58.619 --> 00:34:02.539
I can't believe we lost him, that was devastating. And,

550
00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:07.440
you know, it was just, I heard Kerry's encounter, and

551
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:09.989
he invited me on the show, and I shared it,

552
00:34:10.260 --> 00:34:13.269
you know, on his show, and it was, you know,

553
00:34:13.309 --> 00:34:15.929
it was really like a ton lifted off of me,

554
00:34:15.949 --> 00:34:20.590
you know, from what I had experienced, you know, in

555
00:34:20.630 --> 00:34:25.599
the past, you know. So, Oh, man, you've been Jeremiah.

556
00:34:25.619 --> 00:34:28.780
I'm glad to come on your show. I'm glad to

557
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:30.199
talk to you.

558
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:31.219
Hey, Nightcrawler.

559
00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:32.099
This is Jeremiah.

560
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:32.820
How's it going?

561
00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:38.239
I haven't actually seen a Bigfoot, but when I was

562
00:34:38.300 --> 00:34:41.190
in the Boy Scouts of America, this happened on the

563
00:34:41.230 --> 00:34:44.809
Blue Ridge Scout Reservation up around Hiawassee, Virginia.

564
00:34:44.829 --> 00:34:45.630
Okay.

565
00:34:45.710 --> 00:34:49.489
I don't know if you know where that is or not, but.

566
00:34:50.929 --> 00:34:56.179
I was hiking what they called High Knot, And me

567
00:34:56.199 --> 00:35:00.949
and the other scouts, I was the senior leader, senior

568
00:35:00.969 --> 00:35:06.530
boy leader. And we were walking up this road, and

569
00:35:06.550 --> 00:35:09.389
we smelled something, kind of smelled like a wet dog.

570
00:35:11.550 --> 00:35:11.949
Okay?

571
00:35:13.329 --> 00:35:15.090
And that's what they say they smell like.

572
00:35:17.070 --> 00:35:17.809
Okay?

573
00:35:18.750 --> 00:35:23.699
Now, that night, we slept under lean tubes that night.

574
00:35:25.289 --> 00:35:29.599
And I heard something down in the woods sound like

575
00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:33.679
a knocking. And like they do, they're the.

576
00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:34.860
Wood knocking, they call it.

577
00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:35.719
Right.

578
00:35:35.739 --> 00:35:38.239
I'm sure you're familiar with what I'm talking about.

579
00:35:39.449 --> 00:35:43.349
And I heard that, and it kind of scared me

580
00:35:43.389 --> 00:35:44.690
a little bit because I didn't really know what it

581
00:35:44.730 --> 00:35:47.389
was at first. And I hollered at some of the

582
00:35:47.489 --> 00:35:50.460
scout leaders there. I said, hey, that ain't y'all down

583
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:52.039
there making that racket, is it?

584
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:53.059
They said, no.

585
00:35:53.099 --> 00:35:58.510
We're under the lean tube. We hear it ourselves. And

586
00:35:58.570 --> 00:36:01.139
I said, well, I don't really know what it is,

587
00:36:01.230 --> 00:36:03.510
but I said, I think it might be a Bigfoot.

588
00:36:05.710 --> 00:36:07.409
And they said, well, we don't know if it is

589
00:36:07.449 --> 00:36:14.920
or not. And I had another encounter later on and

590
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:17.719
didn't actually see anything that time, but I smelt the

591
00:36:17.860 --> 00:36:18.659
odor as well.

592
00:36:19.300 --> 00:36:20.599
That's all I've ever done is.

593
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:25.639
Just smelt the odor. You know, just the funny, like,

594
00:36:25.699 --> 00:36:29.280
wet dog smell that they have. And it kind of

595
00:36:29.429 --> 00:36:31.199
makes you want to upchuck, so to speak.

596
00:36:31.739 --> 00:36:32.110
Right.

597
00:36:32.849 --> 00:36:35.570
But I just thought I'd get on here and tell

598
00:36:35.590 --> 00:36:36.510
you my two cents worth.

599
00:36:37.230 --> 00:36:38.130
Well, very interesting.

600
00:36:38.150 --> 00:36:40.630
Thank you for sharing. That gives me another area to

601
00:36:40.670 --> 00:36:42.590
be aware of. So I appreciate you coming on.

602
00:36:43.929 --> 00:36:46.179
Maybe you can have somebody come up here in a

603
00:36:46.219 --> 00:36:48.739
few minutes. Maybe they've actually had an account.

604
00:36:48.900 --> 00:36:50.400
I wish I had one, really.

605
00:36:51.300 --> 00:36:53.900
But it's something I'll never forget as long as I live.

606
00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:55.239
Yes, sir.

607
00:36:56.139 --> 00:36:57.960
But anyway, thank you.

608
00:36:58.659 --> 00:36:59.699
All right. Thanks for sharing, sir.

609
00:36:59.739 --> 00:37:00.320
You have a good one.

610
00:37:00.500 --> 00:37:03.880
We've got Brian has some things in Southern Oregon. We're

611
00:37:03.900 --> 00:37:04.800
going to reach out to him.

612
00:37:04.940 --> 00:37:05.219
Hey, man.

613
00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:05.599
Hey, Brian.

614
00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:07.079
This is Jeremiah. How's it going, man?

615
00:37:07.889 --> 00:37:09.489
Not too bad, just hanging out.

616
00:37:10.730 --> 00:37:13.309
It sounds like you have some interesting things going on

617
00:37:13.329 --> 00:37:14.170
in southern Oregon.

618
00:37:15.250 --> 00:37:19.469
Yeah, so my family has a ranch that we've had

619
00:37:19.489 --> 00:37:26.170
in the family for like three generations. And it's in

620
00:37:26.190 --> 00:37:31.510
a pretty secluded area down in the South Umpqua area.

621
00:37:32.860 --> 00:37:33.079
And, uh.

622
00:37:34.429 --> 00:37:37.969
As I was a kid growing up, I would walk

623
00:37:37.989 --> 00:37:40.010
the property. It's a good 80 acres out in the

624
00:37:40.030 --> 00:37:43.989
middle of nowhere. And there was just these things that

625
00:37:44.010 --> 00:37:46.409
would happen that I couldn't explain. And I didn't think

626
00:37:46.449 --> 00:37:49.000
of anything about it. Because, I mean, I'm a kid.

627
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:52.360
Weird things happen all the time. You never know what's

628
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:57.099
going on. But there was this one time I was

629
00:37:57.139 --> 00:38:00.179
just sitting in our barn after feeding the cattle. And

630
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:02.050
I heard what sounded like.

631
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:07.820
It sounded like an actual lion from the zoo growling.

632
00:38:09.429 --> 00:38:12.530
And you wouldn't hear that kind of stuff out there. Because,

633
00:38:12.769 --> 00:38:15.969
I mean, mountain lions, they sound completely different than what

634
00:38:16.030 --> 00:38:19.650
I heard. And it sounded like it was off in

635
00:38:19.670 --> 00:38:22.070
the distance. But it was like really loud to where

636
00:38:22.389 --> 00:38:26.239
it seemed like it was close. And it just freaked

637
00:38:26.300 --> 00:38:28.880
me out. And then there was this other time I

638
00:38:28.900 --> 00:38:32.989
was walking the property and... I walked past a tree

639
00:38:33.230 --> 00:38:37.769
and I heard something quietly grunt at me. It made

640
00:38:37.809 --> 00:38:43.889
me freeze instantly. I was like, okay, don't run. Just

641
00:38:43.929 --> 00:38:47.679
walk calmly like you didn't hear anything. Eventually, I got

642
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:55.260
back home. Just maybe seven years ago, I was hanging

643
00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:58.099
out at my uncle's house on the property. About two

644
00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:02.639
o'clock in the morning, I heard something rustling around up

645
00:39:02.699 --> 00:39:05.079
at our barn so I shined the light up there

646
00:39:05.139 --> 00:39:07.929
and I didn't see anything so me and my aunt

647
00:39:07.969 --> 00:39:11.289
we grabbed our pistols we walked up the lane and

648
00:39:12.190 --> 00:39:14.889
was looking around trying to see if we saw anything

649
00:39:14.949 --> 00:39:18.889
we have this bus that's parked outside the barn and

650
00:39:18.929 --> 00:39:21.750
we were shining the lights around it we didn't see

651
00:39:21.809 --> 00:39:24.409
anything in front of it or behind it or beside

652
00:39:24.489 --> 00:39:27.429
it and it wasn't until we shined our flashlight up

653
00:39:27.670 --> 00:39:33.139
over it we saw something quickly you just run right

654
00:39:33.179 --> 00:39:36.860
past our light like between the bus and our flashlights

655
00:39:37.489 --> 00:39:41.349
heading for our fence line and my aunt started shooting

656
00:39:41.429 --> 00:39:44.550
at it and yeah it was it was really freaky.

657
00:39:48.340 --> 00:39:51.199
You've got some really crazy stuff going on in that property.

658
00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:55.829
Yeah, and it's been off and on for a long time.

659
00:39:56.090 --> 00:39:58.949
There's times when I'm out and about and I feel

660
00:39:58.969 --> 00:40:03.869
like I'm being watched, so I'm hesitant to really do

661
00:40:03.909 --> 00:40:04.969
anything on the property.

662
00:40:07.500 --> 00:40:10.480
What's the most recent that something's been going on there?

663
00:40:11.250 --> 00:40:15.199
So I haven't been there in like six years, seven years.

664
00:40:15.219 --> 00:40:18.219
So that was probably the most recent thing that's happened.

665
00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:23.320
And it mainly because my mom passed away on the

666
00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:28.000
ranch and I haven't been there since. But yeah, it

667
00:40:30.340 --> 00:40:32.900
just made me so uncomfortable. I'd never seen something like

668
00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:36.239
that and it just made me not want to come back.

669
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:46.550
I can understand having what happened to your mom associated

670
00:40:47.369 --> 00:40:49.769
with that. You probably wouldn't want to go back.

671
00:40:50.510 --> 00:40:50.829
Yeah.

672
00:40:50.909 --> 00:40:54.389
But thank you for sharing what you experienced there. That's

673
00:40:54.429 --> 00:40:57.030
a very intense one. Feel free to reach out if

674
00:40:57.190 --> 00:41:00.869
you hear anything else ever happen there. You can email

675
00:41:00.889 --> 00:41:03.730
me at BigFootSociety at gmail.com. But thank you for sharing.

676
00:41:04.250 --> 00:41:06.860
Yeah, man. No problem. It's good to see all the

677
00:41:06.889 --> 00:41:10.449
people that speak out and– come out about their experiences,

678
00:41:10.469 --> 00:41:11.679
because I love reading about it.

679
00:41:12.969 --> 00:41:16.250
Absolutely. Well, you have a great night there.

680
00:41:16.829 --> 00:41:17.409
Yeah, you too.

681
00:41:17.489 --> 00:41:17.969
Take it easy.

682
00:41:19.369 --> 00:41:20.880
Hey, DRock, this is Jeremiah.

683
00:41:21.300 --> 00:41:21.579
Awesome.

684
00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:25.199
It sounds like you've had a really interesting experience over

685
00:41:25.219 --> 00:41:26.860
the years. Would you be able to share?

686
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:32.650
Yeah. I worked on the West Coast Trail on the

687
00:41:32.670 --> 00:41:38.000
west coast of Vancouver Island. And my co-workers with me

688
00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:40.519
on the trail at the time, there was four of us,

689
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:44.420
and it was early in the season. So the West

690
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:50.849
Coast Trail runs from April until September every year. So

691
00:41:50.869 --> 00:41:53.829
this was early 2000s. And at the time, I wasn't

692
00:41:55.289 --> 00:41:55.750
really into.

693
00:42:03.659 --> 00:42:08.570
Bigfoot or had any experiences like that. And, um, so

694
00:42:08.849 --> 00:42:12.690
the cabin that we were working out of is, um,

695
00:42:13.250 --> 00:42:17.670
was built, uh, the infrastructure is built by Parks Canada. And, uh,

696
00:42:18.530 --> 00:42:23.579
so yeah, so the experience was, uh, the four of us, uh,

697
00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:27.320
we're bunked in this little cabin and there's no power. There's,

698
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:32.119
there's nothing. We just run like propane, uh, stoves over there. And, uh,

699
00:42:32.820 --> 00:42:39.159
So around, like around three in the morning, our cabin was,

700
00:42:42.260 --> 00:42:49.460
something was outside of our cabin and it was not

701
00:42:49.579 --> 00:42:53.199
shaking our cabin, but it was like, sounded like it was,

702
00:42:53.659 --> 00:42:57.889
something was smashing up against our cabin. And the cabin

703
00:42:57.949 --> 00:43:01.250
is a solid built cabin and we were all sound

704
00:43:01.289 --> 00:43:04.389
asleep at the time and it, woke us up out

705
00:43:04.429 --> 00:43:06.989
of a dead sleep and all four of us woke up.

706
00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:11.539
It was pitch black, we had no lights and this

707
00:43:11.559 --> 00:43:15.719
thing was just smashing the heck out of the outside

708
00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:20.500
of our cabin and we were so scared that we

709
00:43:20.539 --> 00:43:22.739
didn't even want to put any lights on to look

710
00:43:22.780 --> 00:43:27.909
out the window until the next morning. So there's a

711
00:43:27.969 --> 00:43:31.829
deck that kind of wraps around the half of our

712
00:43:31.909 --> 00:43:36.340
cabin And the next morning when we woke up after

713
00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:39.800
we went back to sleep, we took turns by going

714
00:43:39.860 --> 00:43:44.440
outside and kicking up against the wall and jumping up

715
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:47.769
and down on the deck to see if we can

716
00:43:47.869 --> 00:43:55.369
mimic the sound. And there was nothing. We couldn't match

717
00:43:55.389 --> 00:44:02.119
the sound that we experienced. It was so thunderous that it.

718
00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:10.409
I woke up with my hair standing on end. And

719
00:44:11.849 --> 00:44:17.110
that was the first experience I had that was on

720
00:44:17.130 --> 00:44:21.769
the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island. We had no

721
00:44:21.829 --> 00:44:25.719
explanation for it. None of us had any experience like

722
00:44:25.739 --> 00:44:31.300
that before. And we went out and looked around, but

723
00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:35.199
we couldn't see We didn't see no tracks, but there

724
00:44:35.239 --> 00:44:41.010
was on the outside of our cabin, I'd say about

725
00:44:41.050 --> 00:44:45.030
like seven feet up or eight feet up the back wall,

726
00:44:45.989 --> 00:44:49.449
there was no windows on that side. And you could

727
00:44:49.489 --> 00:44:54.510
see there was dirt, something that was left. I don't

728
00:44:54.530 --> 00:44:57.050
know if something was hitting it or it sounded like

729
00:44:57.139 --> 00:45:01.900
something was... Like as if somebody had a boulder or

730
00:45:01.940 --> 00:45:05.579
something that was ramming it up against the back of

731
00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:08.940
our cabin or against our cabin or using some kind

732
00:45:08.980 --> 00:45:14.610
of a ram to hit our cabin. That's the only

733
00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:16.030
kind of way I can describe it.

734
00:45:18.510 --> 00:45:21.730
So there was a fair amount of dirt up there?

735
00:45:22.710 --> 00:45:26.230
Yeah. Was it.

736
00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:30.800
how, how long across was the area with the dirt,

737
00:45:30.820 --> 00:45:31.360
would you say?

738
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:43.889
Oh, probably, uh, like four feet, like four feet apart. Yeah. Yeah. And,

739
00:45:44.010 --> 00:45:48.349
and that same season. Um, so we're trail maintenance workers.

740
00:45:48.429 --> 00:45:51.550
Two of us were trail maintenance. So we just like

741
00:45:51.690 --> 00:45:55.570
did repairs on infrastructure on the West coast trail and

742
00:45:55.630 --> 00:46:02.719
others were, uh, for people who checked campsites and permits and,

743
00:46:02.739 --> 00:46:07.030
you know, just checked on people and gave information. And

744
00:46:07.070 --> 00:46:13.670
one of my co-workers and we're doing trail maintenance and

745
00:46:14.710 --> 00:46:17.130
it was early in the year before the trail even

746
00:46:17.210 --> 00:46:19.829
opened up. And so we're the only ones on the

747
00:46:19.869 --> 00:46:24.110
West Coast Trail. So there was, we were cutting up

748
00:46:24.610 --> 00:46:27.099
windfalls over the winter that, trees that fell over the

749
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:31.889
trail and um so we were maybe 50 meters apart

750
00:46:31.929 --> 00:46:36.570
from each other and uh yeah yeah probably 50 meters

751
00:46:36.630 --> 00:46:38.849
apart from each other and he wasn't in my sight

752
00:46:39.929 --> 00:46:44.550
um we were both operating chainsaws and um he had

753
00:46:44.610 --> 00:46:49.489
stopped working um because he he got hit by by

754
00:46:49.530 --> 00:46:51.360
a rock or he said he thought it was a

755
00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:53.579
like a pine cone or a rock or something and

756
00:46:53.599 --> 00:46:56.889
then so he stopped and then Um, he was taking

757
00:46:56.909 --> 00:46:59.489
a water break and then he was sitting there and

758
00:46:59.530 --> 00:47:04.090
then rocks were being thrown at him. And, uh, he,

759
00:47:04.210 --> 00:47:07.449
he had thought it was me. And, uh, but he

760
00:47:07.489 --> 00:47:11.570
realized that when he, he came, he could still hear

761
00:47:11.610 --> 00:47:13.389
my power saw and he came around the corner and

762
00:47:13.409 --> 00:47:16.710
he flagged me down. And he, uh, was telling me

763
00:47:16.750 --> 00:47:21.980
that he had six to seven rocks thrown at him from, uh,

764
00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:26.019
above him in the, uh, on the section that he

765
00:47:26.059 --> 00:47:31.820
was working on. Oh, wow.

766
00:47:31.960 --> 00:47:32.239
Yeah.

767
00:47:38.409 --> 00:47:39.289
It's very interesting.

768
00:47:39.309 --> 00:47:41.710
I actually talked to a guy the other night from, uh,

769
00:47:42.110 --> 00:47:43.429
I think it's Nanaimo.

770
00:47:43.449 --> 00:47:45.130
Oh yeah.

771
00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:50.619
Which is a different part of the, the Island for sure. But, um,

772
00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:52.559
how big were the rocks that were being thrown out?

773
00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:55.699
Uh, they were probably like, I think he said the

774
00:47:55.719 --> 00:47:58.739
biggest one was probably around, like, they weren't big. They

775
00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:02.519
were bigger than pebble size. And he said the biggest

776
00:48:02.579 --> 00:48:04.139
one was probably like an inch and a half.

777
00:48:05.610 --> 00:48:05.800
Wow.

778
00:48:06.570 --> 00:48:13.150
Yeah. Oh, and he actually did find one of the

779
00:48:13.170 --> 00:48:16.130
rocks that was thrown at him. And it was, yeah,

780
00:48:16.309 --> 00:48:20.349
so it was like, it looked like it was a

781
00:48:20.429 --> 00:48:24.269
river rock. You know, you can find river, like, they're smooth.

782
00:48:24.889 --> 00:48:29.809
There's no edges on it. And so he's seen the rock.

783
00:48:30.130 --> 00:48:31.449
He'd never seen a rock come up, but he'd seen

784
00:48:31.510 --> 00:48:33.110
it land on the trail near him, and he went

785
00:48:33.150 --> 00:48:36.570
and grabbed it. And when he came down to me,

786
00:48:36.570 --> 00:48:38.409
he was saying he had these rocks thrown at him.

787
00:48:39.030 --> 00:48:42.039
And he said, this is one of the rocks that

788
00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:46.880
he picked up that got thrown in his direction, and

789
00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:51.300
it was a flat, smooth rock. And he said when

790
00:48:51.320 --> 00:48:53.219
he grabbed it, when he picked it up, he said

791
00:48:53.260 --> 00:48:56.329
it was warm as if, Something was, somebody was holding

792
00:48:56.429 --> 00:48:59.849
on to it. Something was holding on to it. Yeah.

793
00:49:01.969 --> 00:49:03.429
Do you still have one of those rocks?

794
00:49:04.750 --> 00:49:07.739
No, he kept it. I don't, and it was, it was, yeah,

795
00:49:08.739 --> 00:49:11.880
it was him, yeah. So we all grew up on

796
00:49:11.900 --> 00:49:14.159
the west coast of Vancouver Island. I live in Parksville

797
00:49:14.179 --> 00:49:17.699
right now. But that was many years ago now, in

798
00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:18.409
the early 2000s.

799
00:49:18.449 --> 00:49:25.719
That's some fascinating stuff that you had happen. Thank you

800
00:49:25.760 --> 00:49:26.519
for sharing that.

801
00:49:27.300 --> 00:49:30.039
Yeah, thanks a lot. Thanks for having me, letting me share.
