Season 1

A peaceful family camping trip at Hills Creek Reservoir became a night they will never forget. Savanna and Alex share their terrifying firsthand encounter after hearing strange owl-like calls, feeling an overwhelming sense of dread, and listening to heavy two-legged footsteps circle their tent in the darkness. What approached them at their campsite sent them packing in fear and fleeing the area before sunrise.


This intense new report from Oakridge adds to the long history of unexplained activity surrounding Willamette National Forest. If you want real encounters, serious witnesses, and one of the wildest recent Oregon stories, this episode is for you.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.120
You're listening to Bigfoot 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 --> 00:00:12.839
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 --> 00:00:24.000
These are the voices of the people who've lived it.

8
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.440
To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.120
just might change the way you see the woods forever.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.320
So stay with us, all right, guys, We've got the

11
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:37.119
privilege of talking to Savannah in Alex tonight. Savannah and

12
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.119
Alex are out there from the great state of Oregon.

13
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.640
They just had something recently happen to them in Oakridge,

14
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:50.880
which listeners will be definitely familiar with. There's been many

15
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:55.759
people I've talked to about their Bigfoot experiences from Oakridge,

16
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.600
so welcome to the show, guys. This happened pretty recently,

17
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:05.239
I mean just last Saturday night and right now. The

18
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.920
recording date is April ninth, twenty twenty six, so this

19
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:17.439
was just days ago on Saturday Night, right Yeah, would

20
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.200
you be able to start things off by sharing a

21
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.640
little bit about why you were in the area that

22
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:28.560
you were, where the area was around Oakridge that you

23
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.680
can share and a time of day things like that.

24
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.959
Yeah. So we thought it would be a really good

25
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:43.040
idea to take our one year old son camping, and

26
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.560
so I wanted to go fishing to hence the boat

27
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.239
in the background. So we were thinking about other lakes

28
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:56.640
to go to, and we were worried about like potential snow.

29
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.640
So Alex was like, well, well, let's go over to

30
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.920
Hills Creek past oak Ridge because I've heard there's a

31
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:07.760
bull trout in there and we wanted to like try

32
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:11.039
to catch some bull trout. We ended up only catching

33
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.400
rainbow trout by the way, but anyway, so we go

34
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.479
out there with our son, with the dog and with

35
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:24.360
the boat. At Hills Creek, we find a super cool

36
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.560
campground that has like a gazebo, like a wooden gazebo

37
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.919
with two picnic tables, and we're like, this is it,

38
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.400
Like this coolest campsite ever. Like you can see down

39
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:41.159
the hill near the reservoir where our boat would be parked.

40
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:43.719
You could see other people like having a good time.

41
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.120
This few other people out there at their boats and

42
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:51.840
their jet skis and some girls like hanging out. So yeah,

43
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.120
we picked that spot. It was awesome. We had the

44
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.639
whole campground to ourself too. There was no camp host

45
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.319
because I guess it's just not that time of the

46
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.680
season yet. So but yeah, it was my first time there.

47
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.919
I've been to Oak Ridge a lot, but he's been

48
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:09.919
to the reservoir. I don't know about camping there. Have

49
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:10.800
you ever camped there?

50
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:15.840
Never camped there, but putting my boat in there a

51
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.719
few times to go fishing out there, and yeah, we

52
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:24.199
got a fun, a fun day out on the water

53
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.120
and just wanted there. Our one year old on his

54
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.159
first camping Yeah, it was his first camping trip, and

55
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.919
uh yeah it was. It was the the one of

56
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.919
the lakes that I wasn't worried about putting my boat

57
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.159
in there be snow around because it's wintertime or kind

58
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:46.719
of you know, coming out of the winter, and uh yeah.

59
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.560
So we picked that camp site. At the campground, it

60
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.639
seemed like there wasn't very many camp sites to choose

61
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:56.840
from from what I remember, but maybe we didn't go

62
00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.759
through the whole thing. When we just saw that cool one.

63
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.879
We parked our truck up top. There's some like wooden

64
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.439
stairs you've got to go down, and another campground to

65
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.800
go to get to ours that we chose, so it

66
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.479
was like pretty far out of the way of the truck,

67
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.160
but there wasn't going to be anyone around bothering us.

68
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:21.079
But there wasn't anyways, because nobody else was camping there.

69
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:23.560
So anyways, we ended up having a really good day

70
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:27.519
out on the boat. We caught a few rainbow trout.

71
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.560
Our son actually didn't love the boat. It was his

72
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.879
first time on the boat also, But yeah, we did

73
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.480
that pretty much all day and then brought it back in,

74
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:43.680
made hot dogs in the evening, put our son down,

75
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.360
and then that's when things started to get kind of weird.

76
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.920
Do you remember the number of the campsite you guys

77
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:50.240
were at.

78
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:51.240
I don't remember.

79
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:55.480
It was right in front of the boat ramp and

80
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.600
the only campsite with like a little gazebo there, gazebo.

81
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.040
Like you know, with like lunch tables and star underneath it.

82
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:03.839
That we were like, yeah, it's sweet.

83
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:05.319
We don't even have to put up argacy, but we

84
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.120
because you use this one, you could pick it out

85
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:07.519
if you're.

86
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:11.319
There, absolutely, it looks like you're probably at the southern

87
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:16.560
part of the campground. Yeah, okay, perfect, perfect, And so

88
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:22.040
you're having hot dogs and then what time of night

89
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.120
would you say? Things started to get weird.

90
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:33.279
So we put our son to bed. He ate, We

91
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:38.720
put him to bed. Then we did dogs. You know,

92
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.399
it was a good time. It was fine. It was

93
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:45.040
starting to get dark, and after hot dogs, were like, dude,

94
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.120
let's go look at the stars and you could see

95
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.399
all of them, like it was kind of like, you know,

96
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.920
romantic if you will, Like it was just like a

97
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.319
good time. So let's go with the stars. So we're

98
00:05:54.399 --> 00:06:00.480
with the stars and then this boat comes in for dark.

99
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.600
Yes, right, right, so the last person is sleeping got dark.

100
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.279
The last boat on the water came in. I remember

101
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.120
seeing him go out and I was like, oh, I

102
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.079
wonder when that last boat's going to come back in.

103
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.279
And he came back in after dark, and I'm like, Dan,

104
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:20.480
he fished all day long and then uh he left.

105
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:21.000
Yeah.

106
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.480
I remember like right when he left, like it was

107
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.879
started getting pitched black dark, and then we were just

108
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:28.839
the only ones out there. After that, there was no

109
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.839
one else, no one, no service, and then like, yeah,

110
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.000
we were just laying under eath the stars.

111
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:35.600
And then I started to just kind of pick up

112
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.639
a weird vibe. I don't know why, but like I'm

113
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.360
very like intuitive and like I like have a good

114
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.399
sense of things I feel like, and like I pick

115
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:48.560
up on energy very well, and like I just started

116
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:52.040
like feeling weird and like I don't know why, Like

117
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:53.959
I just like we looked at the stars for probably

118
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.439
like thirty minutes, but I just felt weird. Like I

119
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:58.279
just felt like an unsettling vibe.

120
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.120
For some reason, I saying like I'm scared, baby, and

121
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:02.639
I was like that's okay.

122
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.959
I don't know why though, because like I love camping.

123
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.279
I grew up camping, like I love the stars. Like

124
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:09.160
I don't know. It was just weird, and I think

125
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.480
what made me feel weird too, Like there was like

126
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.720
eerie eeriness of like the frogs croaking down at the

127
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.639
reservoir and then they'd stop and be like completely silent,

128
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.920
and then they'd keep croaking and then it would go

129
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.040
really silent, and like it just felt weird. So we're

130
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.000
like okay, like after thirty minutes of that, like let's stop.

131
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:30.839
And then it's like nine o'clock now, so we put

132
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.600
the remaining food away. You know, everything's absolutely sealed up,

133
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:39.439
put away away from our tent. Okay, And we go

134
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:43.720
to lay down and we have like a flashlight illuminating

135
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:48.040
the tent. Our son is in his pack and play

136
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:53.319
all cozied up. We get cozied up, and the frogs

137
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.759
are still there. Thing it's kind of weird. And then

138
00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:00.800
we hear like this really bizarre like owl hoo like

139
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.720
but not an owl like it sounded like a person

140
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:08.120
was like trying to mimic an owl, but not an owl.

141
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:14.519
Like I can't describe it, but after seeing videos of

142
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:17.600
what I think it was, I it sounds exactly like.

143
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:19.839
The like whooping.

144
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:24.279
It was weird. So that freaked me out. And he

145
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.680
was like, yeah, that does sound like a weird owl,

146
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.360
Like that does like it like from what I remember thinking.

147
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:32.600
I was like, is that a person like trying to

148
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:34.879
make an owl noise out there? Like that's kind of

149
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:40.240
sketchy sound that it just sounds creepy. And then I

150
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:42.879
was like, Alex, will you go to the truck and

151
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.440
get the gun, like just like having the tent, like

152
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:49.000
maybe that'll make me feel better. And he was like, yeah,

153
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:50.639
I'll go get the gun like you want me to.

154
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.919
I was like yeah. So he goes, you know, walks

155
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:57.159
up that little campsite or whatever, up those stairs, so

156
00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:59.360
he's like away from me. I'm in the tent with

157
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:01.879
the dog in the baby. He grabs the gun and

158
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.159
brings it back down. I feel much better for some reason,

159
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.759
just knowing that we have like the firearm neck like

160
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:14.360
with us rather than in the car. So then like

161
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.919
it's basically just an hour this whole time we've been

162
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.039
in the tent. It's like an hour of him consoling

163
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:22.960
me that it's okay. But I just have this weird,

164
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.840
unsettling feeling. And I felt that unstudn feeling. We were

165
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.279
at stars too. But basically it kept going on, and

166
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.399
then finally I was like okay, like I'm I'll go

167
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.440
to bed, like good night, I love you, We said

168
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.679
our good nights. I go to turn my head, laid

169
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.279
down the pillow, and then that's when the creepiest thing

170
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:46.559
happened of the whole experience, like literally somebody, it sounded

171
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.759
like somebody because it was literally two legs or two

172
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:54.559
feet if you will, was walking up behind our tent.

173
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:59.000
And then up in front of the tent, and the

174
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:01.919
tent was like move around like it was about to open.

175
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:05.080
Like it was terrifying. And I heard it coming from

176
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.320
the back of the tent. I sat right up and

177
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:08.759
I was like, oh my god, do you hear that?

178
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:11.559
And then he set up and he had been immediately

179
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:14.799
and then like it kept walking and then it would

180
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:17.720
like stop, and then it would keep walking. It got

181
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:20.200
all the way to like the front of our tent,

182
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:23.240
and then like the like tent seemed like it was

183
00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.879
moving around. I mean, my heart was literally exploding. I

184
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:29.840
thought we were about to die. I thought, maybe is

185
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:35.240
this a person? It's not an animal. It just felt

186
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:40.200
so scary, like I felt paralyzed with fear. And yeah,

187
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:43.720
it was just it was terrifying, honestly, and even he

188
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:47.279
was like, you know, on edge like it was. It

189
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.919
was terrifying. I don't know, it wasn't an animal, like,

190
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.679
I don't think at all, because it was like it

191
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.120
just sounded like a person. And mind you were camping.

192
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:02.240
Our tent is on top of leafs too. It was

193
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.879
extra loud, but like it was literally like came up

194
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.399
right behind our tent, came up to the front door

195
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:12.360
of the tent and the tent was moving around like

196
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:15.159
something maybe was trying to open the tent or something.

197
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:16.279
I mean, it was spooky.

198
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:22.360
My goodness, Alex. Did you notice anything during that time

199
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:24.120
as well? Different?

200
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:28.639
I guess, like I I'll guess, I'll say in my view,

201
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:34.279
so like yeah, like we laying underneath the stars and

202
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.000
like heard those like owl noises.

203
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.600
And at this point we were alone out there the.

204
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.720
Last and the frogs like kind of like you know,

205
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:47.279
they started croaking because it was nighttime, they started croaking,

206
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:50.799
but like when we were there, yeah, it was it

207
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.879
was just like why the frogs keep going silent, like

208
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:55.000
completely black silent.

209
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:56.639
And then it was really quiet out there.

210
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.279
And then.

211
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:02.919
We went to lay down and heard her heard that

212
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:03.519
like noise.

213
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.120
It was like, no, that's an owl and then there

214
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.919
was like no, like that sounds weird.

215
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.240
That like it was like it was all you know,

216
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.759
it was almost like a like a dog trying to

217
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.720
make owl noises or something.

218
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:21.240
Which sounds are by the way, that sounds absolutely bizarre,

219
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:22.960
but that was really what it sounded like.

220
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:27.840
And uh, you know we uh didn't you know, we

221
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:31.440
were just kind of playing off, you know, everything up

222
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:36.039
at the at the site and then like went to

223
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.679
to go lay down, and meanwhile, this whole time, Savannah's

224
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.679
like I'm scared and I'm like it's okay. They're like,

225
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:43.000
you know, there's nothing to be scared about.

226
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.679
I just felt a really heavy all.

227
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.879
The time, like yeah, and uh, you know, I'm out

228
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:49.759
in the woods all the time.

229
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:51.320
Not to be worried about.

230
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.720
And they went to go lay down, and uh, there

231
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:57.200
was noises like when we first laid down that. She

232
00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:59.080
was like, what was that And I was like it's

233
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:01.960
it's nothing so like that, you know, the wind blowing

234
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:07.279
or you know, a tree brush falling whatever, and I

235
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:07.919
didn't hear it.

236
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:08.840
And then.

237
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.519
It got to the point where we were like all right,

238
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:18.000
like we're going to fall asleep now. And then like

239
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.080
it was like someone walked down the trail over the

240
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:25.720
tent and almost like it was like it felt like

241
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.080
someone was like like walked down the side of the

242
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:29.919
tent and was trying to look into the tent.

243
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:31.200
That's how it felt like.

244
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:31.879
That's what I thought.

245
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:35.320
Someone was like trying to peek in or something. And

246
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:38.080
it was like clear footsteps. It wasn't like you know,

247
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:39.440
something rolled down the hill.

248
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.720
It was like a bear or something legs.

249
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:46.879
Walking leg that was like not not quiet, it sounded

250
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.639
like a human. It sounded like a person and uh,

251
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.080
and then walked over to the front of our tent.

252
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.039
Basically at that point, I'm reaching for my protection and

253
00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.320
I feel like someone's going to open the tent because

254
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:01.960
it was movie was like and like that's when like.

255
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.200
A huge energy, like a huge like just a massive wave.

256
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.240
It's like, you know, the adrenaline rush and then just

257
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:13.480
like fear and Samannah's like I finds let's let's go,

258
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:14.639
let's get out again.

259
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:18.279
And no, he didn't even hesitate. That's like he wasn't like,

260
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:21.480
oh it's fine, He literally like leave like and so

261
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:26.279
like yeah, when when he you lived the gun and

262
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:29.840
like had the gun handy when it got like literally

263
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:31.559
in front of our tent, like it was going to

264
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.519
come inside our tent. I say it because I don't

265
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:39.000
know it was. I think it was bigfoot, honestly, I do,

266
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.240
because if it was a person, we've came to the

267
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.759
conclusion we were the only people out there, okay, and

268
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:50.039
if it was a person, the intentions that obviously weren't good,

269
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.399
but we would have had after opening the tent and

270
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:56.799
packing and leaving. I mean it took a second to

271
00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.480
leave because we're on a kind of a hill and

272
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.000
we had lot of stuff with us, and we also

273
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:05.039
had to go get the boat, so we didn't The

274
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.919
thing is is that we didn't see anything or anyone

275
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:12.720
when we were leaving and like got out. When we

276
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.919
got out of the tent, that was the scariest part

277
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.360
of it all to the second scariest part, I guess,

278
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.240
because like I had, you know, get my baby and

279
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:23.840
he and the dog, and I had a knife on me,

280
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.799
and we walked straight to the truck and just kind

281
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:29.200
of locked ourselves in the truck and waited for Alex

282
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:32.399
to like pack up everything because I was mortified. I

283
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:35.279
was absolutely mortified. And he handled it very well and

284
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.279
he kind of just walked around the campsite with the

285
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.039
gun in his hand packed it up and then which

286
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:45.000
took forever. It felt like I got satellite service on

287
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.759
my phone and just like texted my mom and my

288
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.279
best friend basically like kind of what was going on,

289
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:56.159
Just like a short stummy and you know, something weird

290
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:59.639
is going on, Like somebody was walking by our tent

291
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:02.399
and like we're freaked out, like we're packing up and

292
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:04.399
we're leaving. Just want to let you know what's going on.

293
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.399
And yeah, then we had to go get the boat

294
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:11.039
out of the water, which was really eerie. I mean

295
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.519
it was just like the energy was intense and it

296
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.159
felt like whatever was going on like didn't want us

297
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:21.399
there because like and it worked, like I don't know

298
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:25.679
if we were like spooked off by you know, I

299
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:31.799
don't know, like we're I don't know. It was weird.

300
00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:32.720
It was very scary.

301
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.320
That's that's intense, guys. And it just happened, you said

302
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:39.000
four days ago.

303
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.720
Yeah, I've been freaked out at home ever since it happened.

304
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:46.200
I've been I've genuinely I've been like really freaked out.

305
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:50.559
Like it felt really traumatic, literally, like I was so

306
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:54.279
scared when that Like it was literally like something on

307
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:56.840
two legs was walking up to our tent and about

308
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:59.519
to open it, and like the noises like and just

309
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:03.000
the inner like just like it was like a it

310
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:05.839
was just like a dark energy. To me, it was

311
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:09.480
just weird. It was bizarre. Now that I look back,

312
00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:13.119
it was just also not because like, yeah, like we

313
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:16.000
were the only ones out there one hundred percent couldn't

314
00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:18.119
have been another person and then.

315
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:21.920
Like yeah, like the the dreadful like that. It was

316
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:23.319
just a feeling that I've.

317
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:25.960
Never felt before, Like I've been out camping in the

318
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.960
middle of nowhere and way more isolated areas and way

319
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:35.480
more you know, quiet areas, but it was like an

320
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:39.279
intense like you know, just like an intense fear.

321
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:42.200
I felt paralyzed in the tense.

322
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:44.880
And it makes sense to me, like after like really

323
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:47.640
thinking about it, because I never you know, believed in

324
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:50.119
anything like that, or like it was like it makes

325
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:55.079
sense that a creature like Bigfoot or something like that

326
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:59.039
would have like an aura or like a you know,

327
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:05.359
something to be kept so secretive, and I think that's

328
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:09.319
something that like other people have experienced too, But like

329
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:13.359
it makes sense that if Bigfoot was around and like

330
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:15.680
he wanted to not be found by people.

331
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.000
And you're in his territory, that it felt like that

332
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:18.839
he would.

333
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:23.079
Have some sort of energy that would like deter even

334
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:25.480
people that don't believe in that kind of stuff or

335
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:28.519
like I'm an outdoorsman, like it would makes sense that

336
00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:32.440
that that there's something like that I felt for I've

337
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:34.039
never ever felt anything like that.

338
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:35.160
It was so weird.

339
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:37.680
It was have you ever.

340
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.160
Heard that from people or other people even like that

341
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:46.440
experienced that in Oakridge, like specifically, like maybe there's some

342
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:49.359
something about Oakridge specifically that like people have like a

343
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:53.079
like a really like a fear of it and like

344
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:53.839
a good feeling.

345
00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:59.039
So I will I will tell you what Oakridge is

346
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.960
is very weird. And you know, I've talked to over

347
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:06.319
fifty I would say over fifty people on the podcast

348
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:10.079
so far about their experiences around Oakridge. And that's everywhere

349
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:14.480
from you know, just outside the town down to Hills Creek,

350
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:17.480
and you know, further north a little bit up to

351
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.960
High Prairie and and maybe east out to the Hot Springs.

352
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:25.759
I mean, yeah, there's there's a lot of weird stuff, guys.

353
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:30.160
I mean so I can even talk from experience, Like

354
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:32.680
you know, I've been out to that town the last

355
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:36.279
few years for the Bigfoot Festival that happens in July,

356
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:40.000
and like so I've driven out to Hills Creek myself.

357
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.400
And the first time I did that, you know, I

358
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:47.319
got I got freaked out, and it was middle of

359
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:49.599
the day and I was just at let's see, it

360
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:53.240
would have been probably ct Beach boat launch and just

361
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:56.319
I got like a weird feeling of being watched out there.

362
00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.799
I mean people don't. I don't think listeners realize that

363
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:02.720
once you get out at that reservoir, it's like you're

364
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:05.480
out there, and I mean Packard Creek it looks as

365
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:08.359
even further out than I was. It is totally different

366
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:12.839
part of the reservoir. And I talked to so many

367
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:15.319
people out there during the festival. I even talked to

368
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.240
one individual that they had an experience at Packard Creek

369
00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:23.960
in twenty four where they heard these weird, like primate

370
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:28.799
type noises. And then Priscilla did Priscilla mention about how

371
00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:33.720
she interviewed a person from the same campground that had

372
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:37.200
they were getting howled at. Yeah, and the whole campground

373
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:37.680
woke up.

374
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:44.079
Yeah, she did. She did tell me that the same campground,

375
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:47.640
and I didn't mind you. I just want to say

376
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:53.319
I did not know any of the weird stuff that

377
00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:56.680
goes on there. And like I always like when I

378
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.319
was a teenager, we'd go to like McCready hot Springs

379
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:01.200
and stuff, and like I always thought that was like

380
00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:03.160
kind of grim me and like it was just like

381
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:06.440
it's kind of a weird place. Okay, But so I've

382
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:10.640
been to Oakridge a bunch for that, but I didn't

383
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:12.880
think anything of it. I actually, I mean I was

384
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:15.119
born and raised in Oregon, and I didn't even know

385
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:19.279
that Oakridge was so known for bigfoot stuff at all.

386
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:21.200
I didn't know there was a big foot festival, Like

387
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:24.039
I didn't know any of that. But I'm like, yeah,

388
00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:28.039
it makes perfect sense, and we were just another experience,

389
00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:31.799
like that's why the town is so passionate about like

390
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:35.000
sharing the stories and stuff, and like.

391
00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:38.119
Yeah, she didn't know anything about like the other stories

392
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:41.119
or anything. Like I took her out to the Hills

393
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:43.960
Creek Resmore and I was like, Oakridge can be kind

394
00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:46.440
of sketchy, Like I don't know, I hope that she

395
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:48.319
doesn't like look into it or I hope she doesn't

396
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:48.960
think about it.

397
00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:51.400
I didn't, I obnestly did.

398
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:55.240
And then we've been out there experienced this and then

399
00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:57.079
she looked into it all matched up.

400
00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:59.720
That was the crazy part is that everybody said that

401
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:02.880
they've had this feeling of feeling watched and they had

402
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:07.680
this before, like watched your tiktoks or like like this

403
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:10.759
is literally just simply from like Google, Like Google said

404
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:13.000
some like weird stuff like has happened out no gridge

405
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:15.640
and stuff, and like it usually sends campers to like

406
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:19.000
go home because there's like a weird like like kind

407
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:20.920
of like just a weird energy and like mostly like

408
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:24.599
people being watched. I don't know.

409
00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:29.279
Yeah, there's some weird stuff that happens around the town.

410
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:33.200
I mean, it is I've been a orgon a few times.

411
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:35.599
It is one of my favorite places. But it is

412
00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:38.559
a place where you need to be prepared if you're

413
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:41.119
going out in the woods, because weird stuff can happen

414
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:45.480
and you need to be ready to deal with whatever

415
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:49.440
could happen. And I don't think I think what's happening

416
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:51.920
is there's just random campers that are going out like

417
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:54.799
you guys, and you're getting more than you bargained for,

418
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:56.920
which you had no idea what was what you were

419
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:01.200
getting into, you know. So we had a really.

420
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.599
Good day and like it was just like I felt

421
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:06.440
extra vulnerable, especially like as a mom because we had

422
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:07.920
our one year old baby with us.

423
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:08.200
I mean.

424
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:11.480
And the weirdest part was is that like which is

425
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:14.799
really weird because I think the dog would have went crazy.

426
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.079
But the dog was, like I think just so exhausted

427
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.000
from swimming all day and playing all day and being

428
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:23.720
in the boat and nonline like.

429
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:27.000
The dogs of Springer Spaniel, like a dog dog was

430
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:28.440
completely alert.

431
00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:30.119
It was really really and.

432
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:32.880
Uh yeah, he he didn't move a muscle the whole time.

433
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:34.240
He was like, I don't know what's going on.

434
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:36.880
Wow, it was just passed out. So that was weird.

435
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:38.799
But we know what we heard, and it.

436
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:40.839
Was like totally unlick him.

437
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:43.960
You know, he's normally very like.

438
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:47.480
Well like you know, bark or whatever, even at the

439
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:53.039
smallest noises, and like another thing, I was like, maybe,

440
00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:56.039
like like that, there's like a reason behind that, Like

441
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.319
maybe like you know, these these type of experiences don't

442
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:03.519
alert animals and stuff like that. Another reason that they

443
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:07.640
stay so concealed and like are just like you know,

444
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.559
are like you know, these hidden hidden things because they

445
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:16.119
like some sort of like energy or ability to do that,

446
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:19.559
which I thought was like just one of those things.

447
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:22.319
I was like, I wonder if other people have experienced that, Like,

448
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:26.359
wonder if other people have like gone, you know, like

449
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:28.039
did the same thing.

450
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.920
My weirdest part is also that we didn't it walk

451
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:38.160
away unless we were so adrenaline doubt and just freaked out,

452
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:41.759
and he was loading. It was crazy because he brought

453
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:45.039
a twenty rifle, so it's like an old cowboy gun.

454
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:47.480
So it's taking what feels like forever for him to

455
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:49.640
load the gun. I mean there was like a and

456
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:53.920
I'm not like a so I don't know what this was.

457
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:55.640
But I mean he had to like take out like

458
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:58.039
this pipe at one point, and like he's like shaking,

459
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:00.400
like taking out the bullets. It was just crazy. It

460
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.480
felt like it lasting forever. And I honestly thought like

461
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:06.000
we were about like I hate to say this because

462
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:08.279
it sounds so dramatic, but I literally thought were like

463
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:10.480
we're about to die. Like that's how it felt. I

464
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:13.839
felt paralyzed and scared, and my heart was like being

465
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:16.960
out of my best and like the noises and the

466
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:20.160
energy of being watched it felt like. And then the

467
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:25.279
like something like walking straight up from around in front

468
00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:27.279
of our tent and like it was going to open

469
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:29.759
it like it was just creepy. It was. It was

470
00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:34.559
top percent the scariest moment I've ever had in my life.

471
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:40.759
Absolutely I thought that was it. I have actually experienced

472
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:43.839
that too. I do solo camping sometimes out here in

473
00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:49.960
Iowa and inactive areas where there's bigfoot activity. And I

474
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:53.480
mean I have been in the same exact situation where

475
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:57.640
you guys were in a tent. Something walks up, is

476
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:01.359
walking around and you're you're pretty much like, okay, this

477
00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:03.960
is probably this could be it. So I just you know,

478
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.160
and you're like paralyzed. It can't move and it freaks out. Man,

479
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.200
It's so bad. It is so so bad. But thankfully

480
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:12.839
you guys were able to get out of there.

481
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:13.559
You know.

482
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:16.759
I think what was happening, is it it just wands

483
00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:19.160
you out of the area for some reason. I mean,

484
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:24.359
if it I think so at the end of the day,

485
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:28.160
if something that is as big as Bigfoot wants to

486
00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:31.559
take you out, I mean to just say it is

487
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:33.920
it's going to take you out. I think it was

488
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.880
trying to be like, you know, get these people out

489
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:39.920
of my area. There's no one else down here, just

490
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:44.039
get them out. I don't know, it's just there's a

491
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:45.160
lot of weird stuff.

492
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:51.680
Yeah, I'm not Bigfoot is supposed to be nice.

493
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:56.559
Well, like like I don't know, that's.

494
00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:58.599
What I always would have thought too, Like I never

495
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:01.559
like felt like it would been like a get out

496
00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:03.839
of here, like not to make jokes about it, but

497
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:06.319
genuinely like I mean, when you when I ever thought

498
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:08.559
of it, I mean I just see like the label

499
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:11.680
of him everywhere and like the like I don't know,

500
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.759
like I my mom is super into Bigfoot, my my

501
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:19.759
dad is actually like my whole family is. My grandpa

502
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:22.119
I think actually talked to you at one point and

503
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:24.720
I just found this out. I just found this out too.

504
00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:30.200
I didn't even know my grandpa had encounters at Hills

505
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.480
Creek when he would go hunting with my uncle and

506
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:34.480
one took his buck.

507
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.839
Mm hmm. I remember talking to him, You remember talking

508
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.839
to him. Yeah, it was wild. It was down in

509
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:44.839
that area. I think it was a little bit east

510
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:49.759
of Hills Creek maybe, but pretty much the.

511
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:53.039
Same area the obviously at the reservoir he was going camping. Yep,

512
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:56.559
he's been there a lot. I mean he with my

513
00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:00.920
uncles and they've they hunt out there a lot. And

514
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:03.000
he said every time they've gone out there, there's been

515
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:05.079
some weird stuff. But he's just one of those guys

516
00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:07.519
where he's just like, you know, he's old, he's seen

517
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:12.599
so much that like nothing really you just go okay,

518
00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:15.759
you know, right, that's kind of how he is. But

519
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:20.000
he's like he knows what he's experienced, and I one

520
00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:24.640
hundred percent believe him. And yeah, that place is just

521
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:29.720
like got a lot of something going on there.

522
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:34.079
There's a lot of energy, and you know, it's it's guys,

523
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:36.240
it's it's not just bigfoot down there. I mean I

524
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:40.839
have had really interesting conversations with people from that area.

525
00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:43.440
I mean I even had a conversation with a guy

526
00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:47.119
who was like, I was driving down Hills Creek and

527
00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:49.319
this is the road to the north of the reservoir,

528
00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:53.079
not the west, and He's like, I saw something cross

529
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:56.720
the road that looked like an eight foot long salamander

530
00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:59.119
that kind of looked like a dragon. I was like,

531
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:02.680
you know what, I don't put anything past that place anymore.

532
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:07.000
There's some weird, weird stuff going on in the Wilamotte National.

533
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:14.039
Force National Forests is wild, Yeah, really wild. And then

534
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:16.720
like I wonder about like the missing people cases and

535
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:19.160
stuff like now that all this just happened too. I'm

536
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:23.920
especially like kind of dialed in other thing, but like

537
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:26.720
it kind of just like there's just some weird stuff

538
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:28.759
that goes on out in the National Forests.

539
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:29.640
Oh.

540
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:32.000
Absolutely, Yeah, from what I thought was going to be

541
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:36.960
just like a super fun It was literally like it

542
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:41.720
was a traumatizing experience as a bring in your baby

543
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:45.480
and trying to have a family time all alone too.

544
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:47.799
I mean it was like I didn't think anything of

545
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:49.720
it because I just grew up camping. I mean I

546
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:54.039
didn't think there was I mean, I didn't think anything

547
00:29:54.079 --> 00:29:57.079
of it, But now I do. Now I'm like afraid

548
00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:57.799
to camp an intent.

549
00:29:58.039 --> 00:29:59.880
Well, I was going to ask, you know, afraid.

550
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:01.319
To go back there? Ever, I don't ever want to

551
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:01.759
go out there.

552
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:04.559
I was going to ask you, how has this affected you? Guys?

553
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:06.960
Is it a thing where it might be a while

554
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:09.799
until you go camping again, or what do you think.

555
00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:17.359
I would say? In that area? I think I'll ever

556
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:18.799
go Like I've camped.

557
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:21.119
That's the first time I've ever camped in that area,

558
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:28.559
but I've camped in many or isolated different areas that

559
00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:32.759
that's never happened to me. So like it makes me,

560
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:35.039
I guess, like more nerves to camp in a tent

561
00:30:35.160 --> 00:30:39.279
and like you more alert. But like I think that

562
00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:43.799
there is just like some bad energy or like, uh,

563
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:46.920
you know, something that did not want us camping in

564
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:47.440
that area.

565
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:50.279
I was watching us and it was weird because it

566
00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:53.240
felt like it heard me be like, you know, get

567
00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:55.599
consoled for an hour about how scared I was, and

568
00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:58.680
then I was finally like okay, like I'll go to bed,

569
00:30:58.759 --> 00:31:01.200
you know, good night, And then that's exactly when it happened.

570
00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:03.160
Literally when my head hit the pillow. I can't make

571
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:03.480
it up.

572
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:04.319
Like it was just wild.

573
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:05.440
It's weird almost.

574
00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:08.279
It was like it was like listening, it was very weird.

575
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:14.160
Have you besides me, have you guys reported this to

576
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:14.799
anyone else?

577
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.720
Yeah, to my family, my grandpa. I called him today,

578
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:27.920
talked about it. I've told my mom, my dad, my

579
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:32.279
best friend. And then I talked to Priscilla from Area

580
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:36.960
fifty eight Museum today because he told me I should

581
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:39.359
reach out to her, and she was happy I reached

582
00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:41.200
out to her about it. And then, yeah, it also

583
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:43.559
just made me feel like because obviously when you talk

584
00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:46.200
about this stuff like it kind of makes you feel like,

585
00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:49.000
do people think I'm crazy? You know, like they're just

586
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:51.000
gonna be like, oh, it's just an animal. But like

587
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:54.519
she just like validated it and was like, I'm so

588
00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:57.119
happy to hear that there's more activity. I want my

589
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:00.960
husband to take me care. But yeah, like She just

590
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:04.119
basically like validated that, like, yeah, there's a lot of activity,

591
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:05.960
like it's a big hot spot, And I'm like, wow,

592
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:08.759
I didn't know we were going camping at a bigfoot

593
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:12.519
hot spot. Like it's like insane.

594
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:18.079
Pretty much that's the whole area. Really, yeah, yeah, didn't.

595
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:19.559
We just keep talking about it every night?

596
00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:23.559
Oh okay, kind of just you know, comparing notes. Have

597
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:26.240
you guys reported it to the Ranger Station?

598
00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:31.759
I was like, no, we have not, No.

599
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.920
Gotcha, gotcha? It would be interesting to.

600
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:38.680
See you do that.

601
00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:40.519
I guess, yeah, I guess this is my first time.

602
00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:43.720
Like what would the range like the Ranger Station would

603
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:44.359
laugh at you?

604
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:49.160
Right, No, I don't think they would. I've talked to

605
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:53.119
him a few times. But thankfully at this point they

606
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:55.480
when they get Bigfoot stories, they're like you need to

607
00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:59.000
go talk to Priscilla, you know, which is nice, But

608
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:02.000
they get Bigfoot story all the time at that Ranger Station.

609
00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:08.599
Dude, really oh yeah really yeah. I was totally unaware

610
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:10.960
of anything until afterwards.

611
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:14.720
I want to go see that museum though I didn't

612
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:17.000
know that was even there. And then I didn't know

613
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.720
that this show called Gravity Falls. You probably already know this,

614
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:23.119
but I didn't know that that was like based on Oakridge.

615
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:24.960
I'm like, dude, this is weird. Like it's weird how

616
00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:28.640
everything's like synchronized to Oakridge all of a sudden we

617
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:30.400
just want to go camping there. It's just like weird.

618
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:32.119
It's just like all weirding me out.

619
00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:37.279
It is a thing where I think there there'd probably

620
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:39.400
be a few comments where'll be like, oh, gravity Falls

621
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:41.880
is this No? I mean, I don't know if it's

622
00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:45.400
actually like about if it's based on Oakreage, but it's

623
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:49.440
so close, especially after having a Bigfoot museum in there now,

624
00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:52.240
I mean that's even closer. But yeah, it is. It

625
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:55.000
is like the life, the real life Gravity Falls one

626
00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:58.039
hundred percent. It's one of my favorite places to go.

627
00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:02.880
Yours So yours is, Oh, when you were in the tent,

628
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:07.400
did you smell anything weird? Did you have any smell

629
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.400
any weird smells?

630
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:16.000
Not that I can remember, honestly. I mean, we just

631
00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:18.079
had put out the campfire. I think it was still

632
00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:18.880
kind of dying out.

633
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:20.159
Yeah, I guess I was.

634
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:21.920
You know, we were sitting in front and we were

635
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:23.679
getting smoked out by the campfire.

636
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:27.480
The whole night smelled like we were cooking.

637
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:30.400
We cooked hot dogs of the fire and stuff, and yeah,

638
00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:31.920
all I can smell is campfire.

639
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:34.719
Yeah, we didn't notice any smells.

640
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:39.559
Gotcha, when you're in that campground, and this could be

641
00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:43.039
any time that you were down there, did you notice

642
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:48.840
anything else that was weird, any weird lights or anything

643
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:52.480
else that didn't make sense outside of the Bigfoot related stuff.

644
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:57.760
Yes, I didn't. I didn't know if I was supposed

645
00:34:57.760 --> 00:34:59.719
to talk about it, but one hundred percent, yes, we

646
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:02.679
were looking at the stars. I was scared. That's when

647
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:05.079
I got scared. I'm really I have chills. I'm actually

648
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:09.400
so glad you asked that because I was like, dude,

649
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:13.079
why are these like are these all satellites? Like they

650
00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:17.280
were all oving left like and I am an astrology girl,

651
00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:21.880
like I love like everything celestial. Okay, I love looking

652
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.519
at the stars. But there were like a lot of

653
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:29.280
like weird like movements in the sky with the stars.

654
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:32.559
And I did see a couple shooting stars actually, but

655
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:35.960
like and Alex was like, oh, it's just satellites, Like

656
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.280
there's like the starlink thing going on, and I'm like,

657
00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:40.800
that's a lot of satellites. Like it almost felt like

658
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:45.400
every star except for the super bright ones were all

659
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:46.800
moving left.

660
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:47.920
I mean, it was weird.

661
00:35:48.519 --> 00:35:50.480
And that's when I got a weird vibe. I didn't

662
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:54.079
want to look at the stars anymore. God, I'm sorry

663
00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:55.159
if that sounds crazy.

664
00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:56.119
No, it doesn't.

665
00:35:56.239 --> 00:35:57.920
Not a weird vibe looking at the stars.

666
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:05.119
It doesn't. And usually there's there's something else that happens

667
00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:11.039
alongside with these encounters, whether it be you know, maybe

668
00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:14.760
like a UFO type related thing, or sometimes people see

669
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:20.239
orbs in the woods, or they hear disembodied voices, just

670
00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:24.280
all sorts of weird stuff that can happen alongside with Bigfoot,

671
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:26.360
or or it gets really cold all of a sudden,

672
00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:30.599
or their batteries go dead on all their devices. Is

673
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:33.320
a lot of weird stuff that can happen together with

674
00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:38.920
these type of situations. So, oh my goodness, Oh this

675
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:43.559
is weird. The thing about your situation, because you left

676
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:46.400
when you did, is so you weren't able to check

677
00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:51.079
if there were like any tracks around the tent or

678
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:54.760
or things of that nature, because you just you left.

679
00:36:54.800 --> 00:36:55.519
We were.

680
00:36:57.559 --> 00:36:58.559
I checked.

681
00:36:58.599 --> 00:37:02.039
Well, we're also on dead leafs, so there wasn't any

682
00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:04.800
like dirt, like like we were on a pile of

683
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:05.719
dead leafs.

684
00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:09.320
So but yeah, even in like and you know, and

685
00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:12.360
then the surrounding area we didn't check.

686
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:13.920
We just checked in like the immediate area.

687
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:16.079
But I went to the truck. He did all the

688
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:18.360
stuff down there, and I watched him from up where

689
00:37:18.360 --> 00:37:20.679
I was, and we had this giant it's over there,

690
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:24.880
this giant Milwaukee light that illuminated the whole camp site

691
00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:28.360
so he could look and stuff, or so I could see.

692
00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:32.840
That's the first thing I reached for when I opened

693
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:35.079
the tent. Yeah, like we felt like they were selling

694
00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:37.519
in front of the tent and the Milwaukee light was

695
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:38.760
right out front.

696
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:40.519
And the first thing I reached for.

697
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:40.960
Was the light.

698
00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:42.480
It was a floodlight.

699
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:45.239
It lit up the entire area down to the boat

700
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:47.320
ramp two hundred yards away. It was very it's a

701
00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:51.480
very bright light, and you know, nothing, we didn't see anything.

702
00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:55.360
And you know, that was the first thing I did,

703
00:37:55.400 --> 00:38:00.320
was look around. And I didn't see any footprints, didn't like,

704
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:04.760
you know, see any like evidence of anyone was there.

705
00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:07.000
But he was re enacting.

706
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:08.480
But felt like someone.

707
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:14.440
Was watching me the entire the entire time, because Savannah

708
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:16.360
went up to the car and waited for me to

709
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:17.199
pack up everything.

710
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:19.000
I was like, oh boy, this is a lot to do.

711
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:21.280
It wasn't it was mind you, the truck is up

712
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:22.760
that on that.

713
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:25.920
Hand, and the whole time it was like I was,

714
00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:28.199
you know, looking around for like a face to pop

715
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:31.400
out or like someone some eyes to glow or like.

716
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:36.960
But yeah, it was almost deafening to the point where

717
00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:39.320
like I could see, but like I couldn't even hear.

718
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:42.079
It was like that white noise. It was just like, yeah,

719
00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:43.079
it was super weird.

720
00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:48.840
That is that is very weird. It's such a it's

721
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:52.760
a wild account because it just recently happened as well.

722
00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:58.480
I hope that you so definitely it'll take a while

723
00:38:58.519 --> 00:39:02.639
probably to work through it, to decompress from it, but

724
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:05.599
I hope that you are still able to go, you know,

725
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:12.239
into the woods eventually and go camping, but maybe just

726
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:16.719
be aware of what could be happening in certain places,

727
00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:21.400
especially out there in Oregon. It can get wild out there.

728
00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:28.000
Well, I've heard and my mom also, I mean she's

729
00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:31.079
always talking about stuff, you know, like missing for one

730
00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:33.639
one and like National Park stuff. You know, I know

731
00:39:33.719 --> 00:39:36.719
there's some weird stuff that happens, some really bizarre stuff

732
00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:39.880
that happens. But I don't know. I guess I wasn't

733
00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:44.199
even thinking like Bigfoot in the moment at all. Like

734
00:39:44.440 --> 00:39:48.800
in the moment, I was thinking person, not animal. Not

735
00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:52.599
animal basically is what I was thinking. And then like

736
00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:57.159
you know, getting out of the situation, letting it sink

737
00:39:57.199 --> 00:40:02.480
in researching, looking at videos, talking to people, realizing how

738
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:06.599
many like of the same situations happen to people, and

739
00:40:06.639 --> 00:40:09.679
it being like Bigfoot related, Like it was just crazy,

740
00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:14.840
like that howling we heard, I think that was Bigfoot

741
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:18.360
one hundred percent, like doing that whooping he does. I've

742
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:21.920
heard videos of it sounded I exactly like that, and

743
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:24.559
it almost sounds like a dog and an owl or

744
00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:28.679
a person trying to like create like an owl sound

745
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:29.960
that's like not an owl.

746
00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:34.000
Like it's just weird, right, very scary, And a lot

747
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:37.199
of people actually do report that in their encounters that

748
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:42.320
they'll hear something that sounds like almost a fake owl

749
00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:45.480
or it's an owl sound that sounds like it's really

750
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:47.519
really big, and then at the end of the call,

751
00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:51.199
it just like isn't able to finish the call like

752
00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:53.800
a real owl wood and it gets all messed up.

753
00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:59.199
That is something that keeps, uh keeps getting reported to

754
00:40:59.239 --> 00:41:04.880
me at least. Actually that's something I've experienced that myself

755
00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:08.400
as well. It's freaky. It's freaky as I'll get out.

756
00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:11.599
Some people even call it like sound like an eight

757
00:41:11.719 --> 00:41:14.320
hundred pound owl or something in the woods. You know,

758
00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:18.239
just it's very very weird stuff. But I hope that

759
00:41:18.320 --> 00:41:20.679
you guys are able to hopefully make it over to

760
00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:24.400
Area fifty eight. There's a lot of cool stuff in there,

761
00:41:24.599 --> 00:41:28.199
you know, you see some track casts and learn more

762
00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:33.280
about the subject, and that Priscill's got Priscill's got a

763
00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:35.800
really good place set up over there. She does a

764
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:39.239
good job. But guys, I want to make sure that

765
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:44.079
you were able to to share everything that you had

766
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:47.280
experience or did you have any other questions for me

767
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:47.679
at all?

768
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.920
I mean, that was fully our experience. We may not

769
00:41:56.000 --> 00:42:03.079
have saw anything, but we felt and heard something. I

770
00:42:03.079 --> 00:42:07.320
don't know, I mean, I guess, yeah, Like it sounds

771
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:10.039
like a lot of people in Oakridge have the experience.

772
00:42:11.639 --> 00:42:15.480
Do you often talk to people that have those experiences

773
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:19.119
at Hills Creek or near or like what other places

774
00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:21.039
like have activity and Oakridge?

775
00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:27.000
Well, so I'll tell you, I mean, man, if we

776
00:42:27.039 --> 00:42:31.960
want to get weird, like I've had a weird experience

777
00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:37.239
in the northern part of Hills Creek where I was drive.

778
00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:39.519
So I was driving along this is in twenty twenty

779
00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:44.199
four and I drove past a pine tree that was

780
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:49.000
covered in vines, and what I saw looked like a

781
00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:52.920
silhouette of an eight foot tall sasquatch that then disappeared

782
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:56.840
into the vines. Not even kidding. That's one of the

783
00:42:56.840 --> 00:43:04.159
weirdest experiences I've ever had. I've had people that let's

784
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:07.559
see everything from there was a guy I talked to

785
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:12.079
in Oakridge walking his dog out in the woods. The

786
00:43:12.199 --> 00:43:16.039
dog all of a sudden became paralyzed, couldn't move, And

787
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:21.840
so sometimes people are like, is it a thing where

788
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:25.599
the Bigfoot can affect the person and how they move

789
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:28.440
using a thing called infrasound. And I've experienced that out

790
00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:32.920
in the woods outside of Oakridge, the area where I

791
00:43:33.039 --> 00:43:36.360
go to with some local people. I was sitting in

792
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:38.639
a chair at the edge of a meadow.

793
00:43:39.800 --> 00:43:43.400
So, yeah, it's just a weird area. I will go

794
00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:46.159
back to area. I will go to Area fifty eight

795
00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:49.320
because I do want to check that out. I kind

796
00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:52.119
of want to bring my mom and him obviously and

797
00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:55.800
go check that out talk to Priscilla in person. But

798
00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:58.480
I don't plan on ever going back to Hills Creek.

799
00:43:58.599 --> 00:44:05.280
Sure, yeah, I understand that, Yeah, yeah.

800
00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:06.519
Yeah, it's just like I just would like to stay

801
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:10.760
away from that. Obviously, he did not want us in

802
00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:13.599
his territory, and I don't want to. I don't want

803
00:44:13.599 --> 00:44:14.119
to come back.

804
00:44:16.199 --> 00:44:18.519
I mean, guys, I've I've had I've talked to people

805
00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:21.039
that won't go on record on the show that have

806
00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:25.480
had sightings of not only Bigfoot, but also gnomes and fairies,

807
00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:29.039
and like the town is is weird as all get out,

808
00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:34.320
Like it's it's totally gravity falls and that can't stress

809
00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:36.639
that enough. Like there's a lot of weird like up

810
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:40.639
in the Hot Springs. I've had, Uh, there's a sighting

811
00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:44.480
of a thunderbird up in the Hot Springs that I got,

812
00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:49.119
and then a lot of like really weird stuff happens

813
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:52.000
in in McCready Hot Springs as well. I don't know

814
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:54.239
if I would actually ever go up to those Hot Springs,

815
00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:57.440
to be honest, based on what I've I've heard from people.

816
00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:00.360
I mean as a teenager all the time. Yeah, and

817
00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:02.800
it was it was weird. I guess, I guess I

818
00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:04.840
didn't really think it was weird at the time because

819
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:06.599
that was just a teenager it was or whatever. It's

820
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:08.960
just what we did. We'd go to like McCready because

821
00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:11.880
it was closer than going to Cougar or like ump

822
00:45:11.960 --> 00:45:18.719
car or whatever. But yeah, just wild stuff. But I

823
00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:21.840
don't know if I have any questions to you.

824
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:22.960
M.

825
00:45:24.440 --> 00:45:27.719
Yeah, it's just it's it's interesting to hear other people's stuff,

826
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:30.599
I think. So I'm just kind of been like listening

827
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:31.519
to other people's stuff.

828
00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:33.800
I guess, like, yeah, I was looking forward to talking

829
00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:37.239
to asking you like if you've like heard of like

830
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:40.079
that just like that energy, because we didn't see anything

831
00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:45.440
right but the foot energy and like the the I

832
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:47.280
guess the best the only note word I know how

833
00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:48.840
to use is aura around it.

834
00:45:48.840 --> 00:45:50.800
It was just like it was malicious.

835
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:54.920
It was it was I was scared and I was

836
00:45:54.920 --> 00:45:58.760
wondering if that was just like a known thing in

837
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:03.880
the bigfoot world that people have like a you know,

838
00:46:04.280 --> 00:46:06.760
a fear and get out of the area and don't

839
00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:07.840
want to be there anymore.

840
00:46:08.119 --> 00:46:08.960
Yeah, other than like.

841
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:12.440
An inviting like rather than like oh that's you know

842
00:46:12.679 --> 00:46:13.320
cool or you.

843
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:19.079
Know, I a very But then it all it's like

844
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:20.719
one of those things that I put all the pieces

845
00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:23.159
together afterwards where I was like, yeah, that makes sense.

846
00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:25.320
It makes sense that bagfoot would have some sort of

847
00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:27.920
power or energy to keep people away.

848
00:46:28.199 --> 00:46:29.440
Yeah, absolutely, I.

849
00:46:29.480 --> 00:46:31.199
Don't want people in his territory.

850
00:46:31.239 --> 00:46:34.599
I think it's so it's not a thing where like

851
00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:40.880
people report that all the time, but in situations where

852
00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:47.880
there's infrasound usually involved, which is you know, people report

853
00:46:48.239 --> 00:46:54.000
getting freaked out, high anxiety, getting scared, and it's usually

854
00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:57.880
a thing where they're trying to get you out of

855
00:46:58.119 --> 00:47:02.760
the area for some reason from what I found, and

856
00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:07.400
that could be for for any different amount of reasons.

857
00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:10.960
But uh so not everyone is going to report, you know,

858
00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:15.079
we got freaked out, there was a weird energy, but

859
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:22.159
sometimes that is reported right exactly exactly, And that's that's

860
00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:26.599
used by you know, a wide variety of you know,

861
00:47:26.679 --> 00:47:29.880
not just big foot. I mean there are big predators

862
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:36.000
that use that. I believe tigers, lions, your your big

863
00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:39.760
cats are able to use that. So it is used

864
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:44.519
other places in in the uh the animal world as well.

865
00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:48.480
But yeah, it's it's it's one of those Bigfoot is

866
00:47:48.519 --> 00:47:51.960
one of those things where you know there's uh there's

867
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:54.880
not a book to read. You can't just go online

868
00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:57.199
and ask all the answers. You kind of have to

869
00:47:57.199 --> 00:48:00.119
figure it out as you go along. So if if

870
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:04.199
you guys do start experiencing anything out of the ordinary

871
00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:07.920
in the days after this, you know, I would love

872
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:10.760
to hear about it, or if you have any questions,

873
00:48:11.280 --> 00:48:14.800
feel free to reach out and I'll try to help

874
00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:18.480
point you to the right direction that I can.

875
00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:25.519
Yeah, thank you. Yeah, We're definitely gonna make a trip

876
00:48:25.559 --> 00:48:29.280
at some point someday during the daytime back out to

877
00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:31.960
Oakridge to go to that area fifty eight because I

878
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:35.679
am interested in checking that out and seeing because I

879
00:48:35.719 --> 00:48:37.679
didn't even realize, I mean, it was just such like

880
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:40.880
a bigfoot community out there. I didn't realize that it

881
00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:44.599
was like a normal thing that a lot of people

882
00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:47.480
have experiences out there. She told me that the place

883
00:48:47.639 --> 00:48:50.119
was very, very active and that like there's a lot

884
00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:54.079
of like experiences people have out there at Hills Creek.

885
00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:57.079
Oh yeah, it just blows my mind because I'm like, well,

886
00:48:57.119 --> 00:49:00.280
we were one of them, Like that's insane that that happened.

887
00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:05.039
Exactly. Well, guys, thank you so much for coming on

Yeah, thank you so much.

895
00:49:24.159 --> 00:49:27.159
Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

896
00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:30.440
around Oakridge, Oregon and you think to yourself, Man, I

897
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:33.320
would love to get out in those woods and experience

898
00:49:33.320 --> 00:49:37.880
it for myself. Well, guess what This year you can.

899

pretty cool. Sasquatch Summer Fest is coming up July tenth

902
00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:54.280
even better than the previous year's. Reason number one, I'll

00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:56.639
be one of the speakers. It's going to be wild.

904
00:49:56.800 --> 00:50:02.199
I'll probably I'll say this, there may be stuff you

905
00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:08.800
haven't heard anywhere else, because let's just say sometimes it's well,

906

at the booth in Oakridge this year. We can talk

926
00:51:33.639 --> 00:51:36.079
about your encounter. Was able to talk to so many

927
00:51:36.079 --> 00:51:39.679
people last year and the year before. It is an

928
00:51:39.719 --> 00:51:42.360
incredible time. You're not going to want to miss it,

929
00:51:42.679 --> 00:51:47.119
and I'll see you there. Before we wrap this episode,

930
00:51:47.159 --> 00:51:49.760
I want to say something directly to a very specific

931
00:51:49.800 --> 00:51:53.280
group of listeners if you're in the military, any branch

932
00:51:53.599 --> 00:51:56.280
or forces, and if you've seen something that no one

933
00:51:56.320 --> 00:51:59.480
can explain, or if you're a National park ranger of

934
00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:03.039
force worker who's been told to stay quiet, or if

935
00:52:03.039 --> 00:52:06.639
you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground,

936
00:52:07.039 --> 00:52:09.800
or if you're with the FBI a federal agency, or

937
00:52:09.880 --> 00:52:13.400
working intelligence and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed

938
00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:16.480
to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or

939
00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:20.079
search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks

940
00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:23.239
that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging industry

941
00:52:24.199 --> 00:52:27.119
on a remote oil field, or a trucker with government

942
00:52:27.159 --> 00:52:30.800
contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told

943
00:52:30.840 --> 00:52:34.480
a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist,

944
00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:38.039
or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence

945
00:52:38.159 --> 00:52:41.800
you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary,

946
00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:45.079
or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something

947
00:52:45.119 --> 00:52:49.639
that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA,

948
00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:53.639
or anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't,

949
00:52:54.639 --> 00:52:58.119
then I want to talk to you. Even if it's anonymous.

950
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:03.480
Can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.

951
00:53:03.880 --> 00:53:06.280
The world needs to hear what you've been forced to

952
00:53:06.320 --> 00:53:12.199
carry alone. And you're not alone. You've got the story,

953
00:53:12.639 --> 00:53:16.440
We've got the mic. See you in the woods. Thank

Every encounter we share reminds us that the world is

956
00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:25.039
bigger and stranger than we think, and that the truth

957
00:53:25.119 --> 00:53:27.960
is often hiding just beyond the tree line. If you
