Season 1

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of Kasey from Southern Utah, a lifelong hiker and camper who began noticing something unusual during family trips in the rugged hills near Cedar City and Pine Valley Reservoir. What started as a quiet night under the stars soon unfolded into glowing eyes at the tree line, a shadow moving past a tent in the moonlight, and footprints pressed deep into the earth with striking detail.


Over the years, repeated visits to a remote creek campsite revealed towering wood structures, trees snapped in unsettling ways, and moments in the dark that shifted the atmosphere entirely. With each trip, the activity seemed to build — subtle at first, then undeniable. A low growl from the brush. Movement just beyond the reach of a flashlight. Physical evidence left behind in places few people travel.


Kasey shares his journey thoughtfully, reflecting on the land, the history of Southern Utah stretching toward Arizona, and the possibility that something has long moved through these canyon corridors. From tracks and structures to deeper questions about awareness and connection, his account paints a vivid picture of Bigfoot’s presence in the Southwest.


Join us as we explore Kasey’s unfolding encounters and the mysterious presence that lingers in the wild landscapes of Utah.

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

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

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

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

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

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

7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.000
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 --> 00:00:34.000
So stay with us, all right, Big for Society, Welcome back.

11
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.359
We've got the privilege of talking to Casey today. Casey

12
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:44.079
is an individual that is out there from the southern

13
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.679
Utah area. He is a lifelong hiker in Camper and

14
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:53.560
we got connected through a Facebook post and he'll be

15
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.759
sharing some things about I believe, Southern Utah, Arizona, all

16
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.719
sorts of intrancing stuff. So welcome to the show case.

17
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:00.640
Are you doing today?

18
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:00.840
Man?

19
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:03.119
And I deserve how you doing?

20
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:08.599
Awesome? Yeah, myself as well, but anything else that the

21
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:13.640
listeners would want to know about you before we get going, Casey,

22
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:16.799
just the.

23
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:19.239
Outdoors, the kind of guy, blue collar, you know.

24
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:25.200
Dispecial, awesome, very good. Well, yeah, man, feel free to

25
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:29.400
take us back to you know, let's let's just go

26
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.239
kind of chronological here, like when was the first time

27
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:35.879
that you realized that you had something weird going on

28
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.599
in one of your experiences?

29
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:39.599
For sure?

30
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:46.760
So so Vickfill wasn't even a I saw it in

31
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.719
my head until about twenty nineteen. I saw a documentary

32
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.719
about the Patty Gimmick film, the one where they used

33
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.400
the athlete to recreate it and see if they could,

34
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.719
you know, and I just really started contemplating the concept.

35
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:06.359
And I have a buddy who's in who was in

36
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.120
southern East at the time I was living in I

37
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:13.840
was living in Nevada and I wasn't living in Utah yet,

38
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:19.120
but it was August of twenty twenty. My buddy was like, hey,

39
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.360
you want to go camping. I was like, yeah, for sure.

40
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.199
And I had a you know, I was married a

41
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.400
couple of kids at the time, and he was married

42
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.879
in a couple of kids. And we went up to

43
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.360
Spot a little north of Cedar, and.

44
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:36.560
We drove from.

45
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.240
Nevada, so we had a very long drive, and so

46
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:44.319
we didn't get there until close to dark, and he

47
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.039
was like, hey, let's get a fire going. He was like,

48
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.639
all right, So we went out into the tree line

49
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.719
to see if we can find some wood.

50
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:52.719
And I brought a Salis doll.

51
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.080
You know, I thought I was, you know, cool, and

52
00:02:55.159 --> 00:03:01.120
he brought an axe and there was a big down

53
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.599
stree and we started like trying to cut off like

54
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:07.000
branches and things like that.

55
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:09.759
And so he's taking his ass to it.

56
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.919
And now that I think about it, essentially woodenkockx.

57
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.080
You know, it didn't click until we were driving home.

58
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.520
But so.

59
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.680
We ended up finding someone that had been cut prior

60
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:27.360
on the other side of the log.

61
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:31.159
And if whoever put that there, I apologize and took

62
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:35.479
you would. We ended up not being able to use

63
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.199
it because I guess there was a fireman and whatnot.

64
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:46.479
But so while so we get the wood, we ended

65
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.240
up having to put out the fire or whatever.

66
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.759
And I'm setting on my tent and I had a

67
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.800
ten man tent for some reason, I was brand new.

68
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.960
I was just you know, breaking it in and I

69
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.039
had a headlingponse. See, because like I said, we didn't

70
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.120
get there till after dark.

71
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:03.199
And.

72
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:06.800
I kept getting a weird feeling.

73
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.439
So I would look up and I would look to

74
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.319
my right, and there was the tree line. There was

75
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.080
there's like a bigger clearing, but we were in like

76
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:18.759
this small clearing, kind of like just off the other clearing.

77
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.920
But then the woodline is literally just I want to say,

78
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:26.279
there's about sixty feet away from our camp site, and

79
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.000
I'm setting up a tent and I'm got this weird

80
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:33.040
feeling to look right. And I looked right and I

81
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.279
saw two sets of eyes, one higher than the other.

82
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.920
And then I looked over and a few feet away

83
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.000
from those two, I saw another one. I was telling

84
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.079
myself at the time that maybe it's owls. It's got

85
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.279
to be a bird, right, So they got to be

86
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.959
birds or something. But now that I think about it,

87
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.040
at the distance they were, and how hard the eyes

88
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.319
were separate, the distance eyes, there's I just I don't

89
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:00.759
see it being a bird, and a lot of birds

90
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.720
are kind of offset to the side a little bit,

91
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.600
so I just, I.

92
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:05.680
I don't know.

93
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.560
I had a hard time, you know, convincing myself with that.

94
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:17.279
And uh so we made dinner and we're all in bed,

95
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.879
and so the back of my tent was facing the

96
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.240
tree line. The front was facing my So my buddy

97
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:24.120
was sleeping in the bed of his truck and his

98
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.639
daughters had a little small tint right in front of

99
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.040
the truck. So the front of my tent was facing

100
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.639
his truck, but the back was facing the tree line. Now,

101
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.839
my son, he didn't say anything until we were heading home.

102
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.360
But I'm a very light sleeper, especially out in the

103
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.120
woods because it's you know, it's just a new environment

104
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.480
and things like that. So it's very like I'm a

105
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:48.480
light sleeper at home too. But I'm laying in there

106
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.319
and I'm facing my buddy's truck. I'm facing the front

107
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:53.720
of my tent, and my son was facing the back,

108
00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:00.000
and I just hear walking. Now the fact that I'm

109
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:01.600
not only like sleeper, but it's like I would have

110
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:03.879
heard him get up. He was literally no more than

111
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.720
like five six feet away from my tent. I would

112
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:07.720
have heard him get out of the bed of his

113
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.639
truck and you know, walk over to go to the bathroom.

114
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:13.560
I didn't hear him get up, but I hear walking.

115
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.959
And as I get and get a little ahead of myself,

116
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:24.839
I apologize. So the next morning his kids were like, hey,

117
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.240
let's go walk up the mountain, and I a little

118
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.319
bit of a helicopter parent. My kids were still fairly

119
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:34.680
young in the single digits, and I was like, well,

120
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:39.560
I'm gonna go with the kids, and so I walked

121
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:45.319
with him and we ended up seeing well, I ended

122
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.199
up seeing his structure like d of just like at that.

123
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:49.800
You know, there was a branch like a tree with

124
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:51.199
like a branch sticking out like this, and there were

125
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:56.519
two branches taking in between like that, and so I

126
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:58.399
was like, that's pretty interesting. And I'm looking around and

127
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.040
then that's seen the footprint. I did take pictures of him,

128
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:02.160
but like I said, I'm doing this on my phone,

129
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.759
so I unfortunately I can't like pop him up. But

130
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:08.560
and I was like that's pretty interesting, you know. We

131
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:13.079
ended up leaving later that day and I told my wife.

132
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.279
I was like, hey, did you hear anything last night?

133
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.199
And she didn't. She's a heavy sleeper.

134
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.079
But my son, I was like, I saw a silhouette

135
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.600
walk past the act. He didn't, says Hiloetters too little.

136
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:25.199
He's like he said he saw a shadow or something

137
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.839
to walk past the back of tent. So I was like,

138
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.199
it's pretty interesting. That's like my first real like.

139
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:39.480
Like encounter.

140
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:48.319
And then there was another time I was camping with

141
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:56.480
that same buddy in the Pine Valley Reservoir and it

142
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.759
was the April or twenty twenty one.

143
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.439
We were just sitting around the campfire and.

144
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.680
I didn't know, we're just a bunch of deer just

145
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:10.079
kind of ran off the side of the mountain into

146
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:17.199
this little clearing that we were camped at and we're like, oh,

147
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.040
that's crazy. And I got you know, video of them

148
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:20.360
coming down. I said, Wow, that's awesome.

149
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.720
And uh but the next morning we decided, you know,

150
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:27.800
let's go for a little hike.

151
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:30.199
So you hike to the end of the campground there's

152
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.000
a trailhead and we kind of did more of a loop.

153
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:34.559
We didn't do like the whole trail.

154
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.759
We're coming back, and ended up getting a picture of

155
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.600
a real good print and that just again just everything

156
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.039
starting solidifying.

157
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.200
This for me that Okay, this is you know, this

158
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:46.720
is the thing.

159
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:56.120
And then back in November of twenty twenty one, me

160
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:59.799
and my family decided to go camping in that spot

161
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:05.120
that uh my buddy had taken us to uh North's Cedar, and.

162
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:07.360
We had.

163
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:12.879
It was like a November so it was like eighteen

164
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.960
degrees outside, and I had a little heater and I'm like, man,

165
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.360
this thing's not really cute enough, you know, and uh,

166
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:21.039
we heard a tree break, but again at the time,

167
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:22.799
I was like, maybe it was just, you know, because

168
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:24.840
it's so cold. The ice for I was in a

169
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.440
broken brand. So I'm not committing that to anything. But

170
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.759
that was like a because me and my wife, by

171
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.600
that time it had multiple conversations. She's watched me watch

172
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:33.559
documentaries at.

173
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.600
The topic, and so.

174
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:36.919
Her and I really at each other like all right,

175
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:38.080
I was like, well, you know it, since the heater

176
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:41.320
is not working, let's go sleep in the truck. So

177
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.039
we all ended up going to sleep in the truck.

178
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.960
And so the next morning, I'm like, hey, let's go,

179
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:51.600
let's go walk around. You know, we'd like to. We're

180
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:58.039
pretty outdoors me. So we just walked around the the

181
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.799
inside the woodline. But at one spot, and again.

182
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.360
Like I do have pictures of all this stuff, there

183
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.039
was a there was a.

184
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:12.159
Campsite that had been tore up, like the tent was down,

185
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:14.399
There's bunch of trash everywhere, like a foam cooler was

186
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:20.240
just thrown about, and there was a it's funny because

187
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.639
when we were walking to it, we found the tent

188
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:29.639
poles and uh, but it was snapped. But this was

189
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.679
like almost almost one hundred yards from where the tent was,

190
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:38.320
and because we picked out of that's crazy because the

191
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.240
tent was like, it wasn't just up in the clearing,

192
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:41.639
it was like up and around and then it was

193
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:43.840
up against the tree line, so you had to come

194
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:45.480
around to see it. That's what we didn't see it before.

195
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:49.000
That's why the tent spiked. The tent pole was And

196
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:51.919
then O'Mally does and we're like, wow, that's crazy. So

197
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:54.919
I took pictures of it. And then we get just

198
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.080
a little further into the tree line, not very far,

199
00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.960
like a stone stow away, and there was this massive

200
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.679
structure and I was like, oh dude, it's phenomenal.

201
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:07.159
Right, So I.

202
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:12.120
Started going in and taking pictures of it and stuff like that.

203
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.399
And one of the craziest things about the structure that

204
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:17.720
made me thinks is it wasn't man made. Was the

205
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:24.799
initial log that it was posted up to was just massive,

206
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:29.120
but it was being held down by another log just

207
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.159
by like that much's it was just sitting in it,

208
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:35.360
you know, just barely, so it was pretty intense. It

209
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.759
was very big structure. And then there was another log.

210
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.360
It looked like it had been cut, but for some reason,

211
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.879
it was eighth the tank feed up in a tree.

212
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.559
Just this log that had been cut about eight inches

213
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:49.600
in diameter.

214
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:51.840
Just in a tree, you know.

215
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:53.600
So I took a picture of that, and then like

216
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:59.080
we started walking along the ridge or whatever, and we

217
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.080
just kept finding rupture. Was one of them had a

218
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:03.600
just a small trees just right through it, and it

219
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:09.440
was a structure built around it, and it was just

220
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:14.960
it was just phenomenal. And then, uh, there was one

221
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.240
other time north of Cedar. We were just we were

222
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.720
just looking for camps lights basically, you know, because we

223
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:22.360
don't like to pay for camping, so we try to

224
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.200
find like BLM and stuff like that camp on and uh,

225
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.000
we were just we had parked on the side of

226
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:30.840
the road, but we walked up one way. We kind

227
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:31.720
of did like a loop.

228
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:32.159
And came back down.

229
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:37.559
And on our way down I found another structure and

230
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:40.960
and I obviously I think pretures of it, but the

231
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.799
top was broke and twisted down and then there was

232
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:45.480
a bunch of branches on top of it. That's how

233
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.960
it was able to be formed, and I took pictures

234
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:50.600
you know, my kids, and then I got a picture

235
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.720
of me next to it. I'm about five six, five seven,

236
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:57.519
and it was again it was snapped at about hand

237
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:02.799
feet maybe, and it was fairly thick, you know.

238
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:11.639
And uh so a buddy of mine, he he runs Southern.

239
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:15.480
Utah Bigfoot Association. He was he's a lot like uh

240
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.480
Joel Thomas. Uh someone need to interviewed while back. He's

241
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:21.639
also a traveling musician, but he also studies you know,

242
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:26.960
Bigfoot and you know, ah, you know there's some extra

243
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:32.080
terrephical stuff as well as liot into That's kind of

244
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:35.039
how I got into like wanting to share my encounters

245
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:36.720
is you know, through him. I started talking to him

246
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:39.559
and I started opening up about it. But he had

247
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.639
a show out in Cedar and I was like, hey,

248
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:43.080
there was a structure out here. Do you want to

249
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:44.960
check it out? He's like yeah. So we went up

250
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.200
and we ended up finding like three or four more

251
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:49.279
structures that weren't there when me and my family went.

252
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:51.000
You know, but this was like three or four years

253
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:54.399
prior that we found the one. So we went up

254
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:57.919
and we found it was like, yeah, about three or

255
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.720
four other structures that weren't there before. Plus there was

256
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.960
a tree that was in between two trees, just sitting

257
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:08.039
there and there's no root base. You know, it didn't

258
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:09.759
snap and fall in between there because there was no

259
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.480
root base there. There was this other spot just north

260
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:17.759
of like Pine Valley, kind of south of Cedar City.

261
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:20.960
There was a spot that another buddy of mine and

262
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:25.120
I had found kind of on accident. You know, we

263
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:27.600
were looking for, you know, a trailhead. You know, we're

264
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:33.639
trying to find a trail to hike, and h went

265
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:36.440
up trying to hike it and I got a halfway

266
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:38.799
rained understorm something come through, so we turned around. But

267
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:42.840
so we found this really neat campsite and we you know,

268
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:44.559
him and I camped there a couple of times.

269
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:49.960
Nothing crazy, but sorry.

270
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:55.200
So how this this spot works is there's three camp

271
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:58.480
sites and it's it's like an unstationed campground. There's you know,

272
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:02.799
no fees, nothing like that, but there's each site has

273
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.679
a bench and they have like fire pits, but that's it.

274
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.399
There's no bathrooms, there's no you know scene certainly nothing

275
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.000
like that, but a stone stow away.

276
00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:13.000
There's a creek.

277
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:20.679
And uh so We really like this spot because there's

278
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:27.960
access to water, it's pretty quiet, pretty clean, and uh,

279
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:33.480
the first time we brought our families there, we noticed

280
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.039
a so there was this structure, like so like the

281
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:40.440
best camping spot is like the biggest one there, and

282
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:42.879
it's like the closest to the water, but you got

283
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:44.480
to go over a little hill, you know, and then

284
00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:48.039
you just walk out, you know, a couple one hundred

285
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:53.080
feet or so, and then there's the creek. So but

286
00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:55.519
right over the hill there was a structure and it

287
00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:57.799
was just like an outside down you almost it was

288
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:01.840
just like this. And it's been there as many times.

289
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.000
We can't there a few times because it's such a

290
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:05.600
nice spot and it's one of our favorite spots, but

291
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:07.080
it is a little hard to get to. You definitely

292
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:10.159
like or we'll drive at least some good clearance, some

293
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:14.000
good tires, and so every time we go out there,

294
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:15.919
you know, it's like, I mean, we heard footprints one time,

295
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:21.360
you know, nothing crazy, but uh, there's another spot that's

296
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:23.759
kind of off of this spot, Like it's just before

297
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:25.759
you get to that camp site. But this one doesn't

298
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.000
have a table, doesn't have like a n actual fire pit.

299
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:32.919
It's just a little spot right off the road that

300
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:35.279
you can camp at, and it is it's actually closer

301
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:39.440
to the creek than the other one. So I brought

302
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.440
another buddy money from high school, the buddy that I

303
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.039
cantered with, you know prior to you know, if he

304
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:51.360
brings his pam on every mind. And so we ended

305
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:54.519
up uh camping at this spot, just the one off

306
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:57.080
because there was like some people camp from those spots

307
00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:59.320
because it's it's a good spot. So we ended up

308
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:01.639
having a camp in the spot is just off for

309
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:06.079
the good one. And we're sitting around the fire and

310
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:10.039
I was facing like the kind of the way you

311
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:15.519
come in, and there's there's a bar wire fence, like

312
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:17.440
because they have free range out there and this is

313
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:19.880
gonna be pertinent to another encounter I pat out there,

314
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:24.000
so there's like a barb wire fence, you know, And

315
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:30.119
I'm sitting facing this fence, and I see a gear

316
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:34.960
Ago bibles, Oh dude, the Geera my headlamp on, and

317
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:39.200
all of a sudden, I think coyote was like, oh dude,

318
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:40.839
the coyote. My buddy was kind of sitting out there

319
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:45.359
watching with me, and he's kind of like Yosimiti stam

320
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:47.559
and he's I mean, he's got to do in r

321
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:49.799
with a nice flashlight on it, so anytime he gets

322
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.559
a chance to pop it out, he does. So he

323
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:55.240
pulls out as they are now, he brought his camper.

324
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:55.880
I brought a tint.

325
00:17:57.640 --> 00:17:59.440
I don't. I'm not into the lamping. I like to

326
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:02.519
throw a tank, you know. The fanciest thing I'd do

327
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:05.039
is like sleeping pads, because you know, the rockster are

328
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:08.279
no fun. So he pulls out his air and he's

329
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:09.960
like trying to see if you can see anything, and

330
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:13.559
then he sees these eyes and I couldn't see him

331
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:15.319
because I had a stigmasms. So I got my glasses.

332
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:17.279
And the headlamp I had at the time was one

333
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:18.839
of those ones where he could move it and have

334
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:21.039
like the bar but had like the beam on the side.

335
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:24.079
So any like I would put my glasses on it,

336
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:25.640
I would turn my headl on, but I would get

337
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:27.200
a glare so I couldn't see anything. I would take

338
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:30.640
my glasses off and I couldn't see anything. So I'm like, dude,

339
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.680
what is it? And he's and he's he's been in

340
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.000
like security for a very long time. He's very disciplined

341
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:38.720
in that aspect, and he's like, dude, I'm gonna I'm

342
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:41.680
gonna shoot this thing, dude, dude if it keep like so,

343
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:44.200
what he said it was doing is he could see

344
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:46.559
the eyes, but it was doing this, and it was

345
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:49.839
coming closer. It was walking towards us very slowly, but

346
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:51.799
it was doing this. And he's like, dude, I watched

347
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:53.440
him switch it from safe to fire.

348
00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:55.599
I was carrying, but I had.

349
00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:58.359
A sidearm and I just unsnapped. I didn't draw, I

350
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:00.960
just had it unsnapped. And I'm just like, dude, tell me, Like,

351
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.240
I'm like, be careful. It could be a cow, because again,

352
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:06.200
they have free range out there. And he was like,

353
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.160
all right, that's sa dude. We're going to bed. He

354
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:10.519
put his kids up in the camp and I was like,

355
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:11.839
all right, guys, let's let's get in the tent.

356
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:12.960
Let's let's go to bed.

357
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:16.799
Next morning, we walk over to about that area. We're

358
00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:18.759
trying to guess him, you know, see if we saw

359
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:20.720
anything or see what we could see the height of

360
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:25.079
this thing and where he said it was because like

361
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:32.359
because I could see the Barbard fence, but like and

362
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:34.000
I could kind of see the camp but there's still

363
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:38.200
some shrubbery kind of striking my view. So it was

364
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:40.960
at least a foot or too taller than me, so

365
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:42.920
like a cow would come up to about my chest.

366
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:46.559
So we're like, yeah, I dude, that's crazy. So again

367
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:53.000
call it a creepy spot. So our last encounter out there,

368
00:19:54.720 --> 00:20:05.200
oh my gosh, so we'd it was March of and

369
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:12.960
so in this spot, shortly after we got there, I

370
00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:16.519
noticed there was a massive tree just knocked over. And

371
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:18.359
I was like, and it's like it wasn't like in

372
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:20.640
the road, but it was like real close to it.

373
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:22.759
And I was like, dude, that's crazy.

374
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:24.400
That tree wasn't not that last when we came here,

375
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:26.079
because the last time we tried to camp there, there's

376
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:29.279
a bunch of people there and my buddy actually hit

377
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:31.480
the awning of his camper on that tree, so that

378
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:36.079
and the tree didn't follow. So this tree, it all

379
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:38.319
of a sudden knocked over. I'm like, oh, that's pretty crazy, dude.

380
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:40.160
Maybe someone hit it on like one of those their

381
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:43.559
UAVs or ut ATVs or whatever, like maybe somebody hit

382
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:47.400
it because it was just snap. I didn't see any

383
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:52.079
like damage. I wasn't really looking that close. So I

384
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:54.920
was like, man, that's crazy. So we kind of started

385
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:57.200
setting up camp. We hadn't like set up to tank yet.

386
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.920
We're gonna do that closer at a bedtime. And I

387
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:02.440
go over the hill to go to the creek so

388
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.240
we can get some water so we can wash dishes

389
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:06.559
and things like that. We don't drink that water, we'll

390
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:07.920
just wash our hands with it. I mean, we do

391
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:12.000
have filters so if we needed to, but we'll I

392
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:13.400
was like, hey, let's let's go get some water. And

393
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:14.960
I have like a five gallon bucket with a little

394
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:17.160
spout on it that I can used to flip up

395
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:21.839
so we can wash hands or wash the dishes. And

396
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:25.000
so we go over the hill and that structure that

397
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.759
has been there for at least two or three years,

398
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:31.720
the less side of it is collapsed, and somebody had

399
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:33.039
been cutting a tree back there.

400
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:35.640
We don't believe in that. There's plenty of.

401
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:39.119
Dad fall out there to get and keep a fire going.

402
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.960
You don't need to cut down any like live trees.

403
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:43.079
You don't need to do that. I don't see the

404
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:45.160
point in it. I don't don't bring my saws out

405
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.079
with them anymore. I don't bring an ass. I bring

406
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.000
a little hatchet just in case they like clean stuff

407
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:53.000
up whatever. And there was a tree cut down. It's like, dude,

408
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:53.519
that's crazy.

409
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.880
It's you know, like it infuriated me if I'm like whatever.

410
00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:59.359
So we go get our water and like, so at

411
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:03.400
this creek, something that I have learned in camping there

412
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:05.640
is you don't go on the other side of the

413
00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:11.000
creek because that's usually when something happens. So and I

414
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:12.799
told my kids that, hey, stay on this side of

415
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:14.359
the creek. Do you not go on that side because

416
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:16.319
the other side of the creek it's I've been over there,

417
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:20.200
just like the vibe is different. It feels very heavy,

418
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:24.119
very dark, and it's pretty overgrown. So I'm like, yeah,

419
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:25.559
we're not going over there.

420
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:33.359
Now. There's plenty of dead fold back there and.

421
00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:40.160
Right, but there's plenty of like overgrowth I'm sorry, not

422
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:46.720
dead bulk overgrowth. And so it's just we don't go

423
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:48.079
over there. I tell my kids nothing to do that,

424
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:50.880
and we're to create getting water. But they have crawd

425
00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:52.680
ads that are just massive, like.

426
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:54.319
A little lobster side. It's crazy.

427
00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:57.000
So we're trying to you know, play with the you know,

428
00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:59.000
crowd ass try and catch them and stuff like that.

429
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:01.880
And on the corner of my eye, I see my

430
00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:04.519
oldest jump over the creek and I looked over and

431
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:06.119
I said, did you just go on the other side

432
00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:08.279
of the creep Well, I just it was.

433
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:08.720
Just real quick.

434
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:10.240
I'm like, I don't care. I told you not to

435
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:11.839
go on the other side of the creek. So they

436
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:13.480
put I was like, no, we're done. We're done.

437
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:17.599
So we all hauled it back to camp. So we

438
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:20.119
get back to camp and.

439
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:25.519
So I had it. Me and my buddy were so

440
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:28.799
at a nice spot, like at the creepy spot. It's

441
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:30.599
you can it's like you you can come in on

442
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:31.880
one side and go out on the other. So we

443
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:33.640
both pulled in and me and my buddy were parked

444
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:36.319
right next to each other on the the side going out,

445
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:40.039
and or no, no, no, no, he was actually back in

446
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:41.839
on the other way. Normally he parts next to me

447
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:43.599
on the other side, but he was actually on the

448
00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:48.359
other side. So I had a I got a roof rack,

449
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:50.440
and I got like a bag, one of those little

450
00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:54.119
travel bags, and we put like our tents or our

451
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:59.839
tent our sleeping bags are sleeping bags. It's just a

452
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:01.680
that in there. Like the chairs and stuff like that.

453
00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:04.079
We put all that in there. So my wife is

454
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:07.559
setting up the tent. Well we got to tense that up,

455
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:09.440
but she's setting up the beds. So me and the

456
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:11.640
kids are getting up on the car with pulling stuff down,

457
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:14.319
and I'm hanning to my wife or I'm hen, it's

458
00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:14.640
my kids.

459
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:15.480
My kids are heading it's.

460
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.240
To my wife. And my oldest who was the one

461
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:21.119
that went on the other side of the creek. I

462
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:22.839
was on the back end of the car, so like

463
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:25.400
I was stepping on the rear passenger door to get

464
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:28.079
up or going stepping on the back bumper and reaching

465
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:31.000
it to pull stuff out. So my daughter was on

466
00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:34.200
the passenger side pulling stuff out. I was on the

467
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:37.119
back end. She comes around. Now, my buddy was with me.

468
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:38.720
He has a daughter that's about her age, and she's

469
00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:41.519
a little troublemaker, you know, she's you know what I mean,

470
00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:43.920
she likes the fib and stuff like that. So they

471
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:48.279
used to be friends. So I'm like, so that'll that'll

472
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:50.920
come to play here insight. So my daughter comes around,

473
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:53.599
almost crying. She's like dad had something groled at me.

474
00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:57.160
I'm like stop, you're just I'm like, stop no, we're

475
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:02.079
not doing this. Stop all right, No, just take that

476
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:04.960
to your mom, all right, Like I wouldn't have it.

477
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:08.160
So then I go on the passenger side and I'm

478
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:10.319
reaching up to grab something and then I hear it

479
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:14.079
and I was like cool, So I take it. I

480
00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:16.839
hand it to my wife and I tell my I'm like, hey,

481
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:18.480
I just heard something.

482
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:19.480
Now we've heard we've.

483
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:24.759
Had to growdus while we've hyped before, so like we're

484
00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:28.319
not new to it. Me and my am my oldest.

485
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:30.720
Also we've had we had like a pine cone thrown

486
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:32.240
at us. I would say, oh, it came out of

487
00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:34.359
the tree, but it didn't like just bounce and follow me,

488
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:35.440
you know.

489
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:37.160
So we've had stuff happen.

490
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:40.279
My wife is experienced it before, so she's when I

491
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:41.880
told her, hey, loo, dude, something just growling and she

492
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:44.119
said what He's like, what do you want to do?

493
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:45.759
And I'm like, I don't know, let's just see.

494
00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:48.599
So a little earlier that night, there was a white

495
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:56.480
F three point fifty two fifteen maybe early two thousands

496
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:58.240
model in a spot that to the left of the

497
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:02.319
good spot, and so we'd heard the growl a couple

498
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:05.079
of times, and like I told my buddy. I'm like, Adrian,

499
00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:07.119
do you hear this? And him and his son came

500
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:09.440
over and they're listening, and his son said he heard it,

501
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:11.160
but him and his daughter like, oh no, no, I

502
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:14.920
don't hear anything. I don't hear anything. And so I

503
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:16.359
was like, well, let me see that truck still here.

504
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:18.880
So I walk around to go see the truck was there.

505
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:22.119
And now this is in a completely different spot, like

506
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:26.119
because the spot goes around and I was right on

507
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:28.319
the other side of the loop and I heard it

508
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:31.319
to the left. I'm like, oh crap.

509
00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:34.559
So because of the whole telepathy.

510
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:35.720
Thing or whatnot, I'm like, okay, well maybe if I

511
00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:37.440
just talked to it, you know in my heart and

512
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:39.359
in my mind, like, hey, look when I heard it,

513
00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:42.680
cause any problems. You know, we're not we don't mean

514
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:47.240
any harm or anything like that. I think something somebody

515
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.119
was there was pissing it off because there was like

516
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:52.440
some spent shell casings and some beer bottles and.

517
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:53.000
Stuff like that.

518
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:56.079
So I think something had pissed it off. I was like, look,

519
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:57.640
we're not here to causing problems. We're just trying to

520
00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:01.400
get with their families please, you know. So that that

521
00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:03.400
truck was going. So I'm like, okay, so it's not them.

522
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:05.920
It's not I don't know, like because once you come

523
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:08.839
into this camp spot camp site, you can't there's not

524
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:11.799
another road. It's just the one in one happened. So

525
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:14.480
they they're not like parked somewhere else, like you know,

526
00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:15.400
messing with us.

527
00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:18.480
So I walked the I walked the whole thing, came.

528
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:21.039
Back, and we're like, what are we gonna do? And

529
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:23.640
so we stopped setting up. I told my wife to

530
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:25.839
look and start putting stuff away. I think we're gonna

531
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:29.000
we're gonna dip. So my buddy's like, well, let's go

532
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:29.359
see what.

533
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:29.880
We can find out.

534
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.720
So in the in the nice camp spot, there's you

535
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:37.839
walk down and there's little clearings just throughout, just little clearing.

536
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:39.720
There's nothing too crazy, like my kids will go out

537
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:41.440
there and play soccer or something like that, Like, don't

538
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:45.119
you know, it's just a nice little clearing. So where

539
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:46.920
the ground was coming from was to the right of

540
00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:50.880
my car, and there's like a bunch of trees and

541
00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:53.119
stuff like that, like bushes like and then there's like

542
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:55.559
a little walkway to the clearing. It's not like wide open,

543
00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:57.680
there's a little walkway, you gotta walk down and then

544
00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:58.519
you get to the clearing.

545
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.400
So that's where we were hearing the the girl from.

546
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:07.480
So I'm shining my light. I don't see anything, I

547
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:09.839
think till Thomasin says that they're similar, like you know,

548
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:12.559
like you shine a light and you you don't see anything.

549
00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:14.920
So I'm like, I can't see anything. And then my

550
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.119
buddy again grasses ar, and we walk into this clearing

551
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:19.799
to see if we can find something, like see if

552
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:24.319
we can see anything. So him and I walk into

553
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:27.839
this clearing and he's shining his light up on the show.

554
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:30.759
After the clear the hill goes up, you know, and

555
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:34.039
he's shining. We're shining light stuff there. We're looking where

556
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:39.720
we heard it. We can't see anything. Now some people say, oh,

557
00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:44.079
mountain lion or bobcat. The only thing was we saw

558
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:49.519
a little rabbit hopping its way towards the campsite, towards

559
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:54.400
the spot where the girl came from originally, So I

560
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:56.880
don't know about that. But we're shining it up and

561
00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:59.400
you can hear something walking, and you hear rocks kind

562
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:03.559
of fall, and then you hear tree bricks, and we're

563
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:07.720
just shining his legs we can't see anything. So I'm like, look, dude,

564
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:10.240
I don't know. Bro, Like you want to stay, that's cool,

565
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:13.000
But me and my family were dipping, so we ended

566
00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:17.440
up packing up and camping in another spot. So about

567
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:19.359
a month later, it was on like Mother's Day of

568
00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:21.240
twenty twenty five because I asked my wife, what do

569
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:22.519
you want to do for mother Day? And she's like,

570
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:24.279
I'm gonna go day camp. Well she wanted to camp,

571
00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:25.519
but we camp thing.

572
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:27.480
Takes a lot of work, especially with kids. You gotta like.

573
00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:30.000
Replan everything for like a week or two in advance.

574
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.799
So I'm like, all right, you know, let's just let's

575
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:35.400
just do a day camp at that spot. Because I

576
00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:37.839
really wanted to go back and see if we could

577
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:38.480
find anything.

578
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:42.160
So we go back there.

579
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:43.960
We couldn't get the good spot because there was somebody

580
00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:45.759
already there, so we were the spot right next to it,

581
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:51.039
and you know, we kind of start grilling whatever, we

582
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:53.119
start making smoor or whatever. We're doing our thing. We

583
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:57.240
start walking around the creek and whatnot, and I found

584
00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:59.559
some footprints, took some pictures. I'm like, because I just

585
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:05.880
I don't you know, they weren't like because one of

586
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:07.599
the best prints that I'd ever seen that I took

587
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:10.039
the pit throu It was about the same size of mind,

588
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:11.119
but it was like twice as wide.

589
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:12.680
So a lot of.

590
00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:15.200
These footprints they maybe a little bit longer than mine,

591
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:16.160
but they didn't look much wider.

592
00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:18.240
So I didn't know what to make of it.

593
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:25.759
But then my son finds a nail and it's so

594
00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:28.880
I actually have it with me, so I look at it. Now,

595
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:31.559
I'm a handyman by trade, so I work with hand

596
00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:37.079
tools power tools on a fairly regular basis. So my

597
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:38.640
son hands me is thinking I'm looking at it, I'm

598
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:40.960
analyzing it, and I don't see like teeth marks from

599
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:43.880
my channel lofts or any type of tool, and I'm like,

600
00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:44.839
this is pretty interesting.

601
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:45.480
So I kept it.

602
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:51.079
So this is that nail, not like a regular nail.

603
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:58.720
This is pretty massive, you know. So we find that

604
00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:02.519
nail and I'm just like, pretty cool. We haven't been

605
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:10.359
back to that spot since, but it's, uh, yeah, it's

606
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:13.759
definitely solidify the topic for me, you know for sure.

607
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:19.160
Man, Yeah, you have been experiencing some really interesting things.

608
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:24.759
That nail. H is that something? I mean that looked

609
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:26.920
like it is a pretty tough nail In order to

610
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:29.599
bend it like that. What are you thinking?

611
00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:37.480
I I agree, because like it's I mean, it's pretty thick,

612
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:38.279
you know what I mean.

613
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:41.960
And like I said, it's I don't see any like

614
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.160
tool marks or teeth marks or anything. I mean, there's

615
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.319
some build up up here, like from rust and it's

616
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:51.160
russ there's restaurants, so it's it's obviously been sitting out

617
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:57.400
there for a bit, you know. So yeah, I.

618
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:02.279
A little perplexed. But it's I don't know.

619
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:04.599
I I think I know what it is, but I

620
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.000
you know, the cerona, I guess right.

621
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:12.200
You mentioned finding footprints a few times in this area.

622
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:16.880
How how long or what were dimensions on those?

623
00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:21.640
I didn't have a tape measure with me a lot

624
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:22.079
of them.

625
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:26.160
Like when I, uh take pictures of footprints, I'll usually

626
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:27.519
just put mine right next to it, because I like

627
00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:29.799
when I'm hiking or something, I don't keep a tape

628
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:34.160
measure on me. But like I'm a size eight to

629
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:37.839
nine depending on the size of the boot. Some of

630
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:43.480
them are, you know, a few sizes bigger than mine.

631
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:47.640
But the print I found in Pine Valley is probably

632
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:50.119
the best because you can see like the toes, like

633
00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.480
where they curl, so there's like a little clump of

634
00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:55.680
mud where it was grabbing and you can so the

635
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:01.559
what's it called, the the minatartial break. You can kind

636
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:04.880
of see that and see the heel and it. But

637
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:07.559
it was twice as white as my but barefoot it

638
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:10.880
was twice as white as mine. And there was also

639
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:13.359
like a little branch that I'd seen. It was like

640
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:15.640
it looked like it was twisted, like the way.

641
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:16.359
It was broken off.

642
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:20.440
And it's funny because like I copied a bunch of

643
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:22.440
stuff from like my my Facebook, so I have a

644
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.440
private album on Facebook where.

645
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:25.960
I save all this stuff.

646
00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:29.279
And like the picture of that the three that was

647
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:31.559
down in the creepy spot, the big one, I took

648
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:34.240
a picture of that. Couldn't find it. I also took

649
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:38.200
a picture of the structure after it had been torn up.

650
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:42.039
Couldn't find that one. So it's it's pictures are hitting miss.

651
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:44.160
But I said a lot of them up aside in

652
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:46.200
an album for this interview, But like I.

653
00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:47.880
Said, I ended up having just my phone.

654
00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:56.119
So but it's like, yeah, I don't know, I don't

655
00:33:56.119 --> 00:33:58.079
know thak can take measure with me, but it's yeah,

656
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:02.119
they're I'm a small guy, so very anything better than mine?

657
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:06.960
I guess, oh, I probably just sorry. So but next

658
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:08.760
to that branch, it looked like there was another footprint.

659
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:16.840
But m okay, the the creepy spot is titled that

660
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:22.480
because it's a thing where, uh, if you got a

661
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:25.679
good campsite, sometimes you don't want to overrun And I

662
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:29.480
totally get that too. But question for you, since you

663
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:32.320
know where the spot is, have you ever looked that

664
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:36.039
up in certain areas or certain places online to see

665
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:41.199
if there's other been other encounters that have happened in

666
00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:41.960
that same area.

667
00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:45.840
So I haven't looked it up per se, but.

668
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:51.599
Uh. Tom Bennett, he runs the Southern ew Big Food Association,

669
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.679
he I talked to him about it, and I ended

670
00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:56.840
up going back on his YouTube channel and like actually

671
00:34:56.880 --> 00:35:00.840
finding these. But he had a couple of reports of

672
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:03.719
I don't remember if like one was a footprint, and

673
00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:06.880
then I think one was like I think it was

674
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:08.559
like a how and then like I guess some people

675
00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:10.559
being chased out of the area. I don't I don't

676
00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:12.239
remember the exact.

677
00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:12.639
Details of it.

678
00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:15.360
But he said that he'd gotten reports and stuff in

679
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:18.039
that area because I told him generally about where it was.

680
00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:27.760
Interesting. You'd mentioned telepathy really quickly. Is that something where

681
00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:31.760
you have had interactions with that earlier or how did

682
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:33.519
you know about that at that time?

683
00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:39.519
Well, once I got into the uh, the big Foot topic,

684
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:46.360
I just threw myself into like documentaries and like just

685
00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:48.880
listening to encounters and stuff like. I prefer to listen

686
00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:50.920
to the encounters and stuff like that because a lot

687
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:53.480
of pictures and videos like they can be you know,

688
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:56.719
like I'm I'm very you know, critical, especially my own stuff,

689
00:35:56.760 --> 00:35:58.639
you know, I mean, there's all the footprints I had

690
00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:01.280
pictures of, there's only one that you.

691
00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:06.079
Know, I'm even a Hunterson Convince is not human. But

692
00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:06.519
a lot.

693
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:08.280
Of it was documentaries and things like that. You know,

694
00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:11.679
you hear encounters or whatever, and it's it's it sounds

695
00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:14.440
like a thing. Because we're so distracted by technology and

696
00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:18.360
just noise around us and things like that that it's

697
00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:23.199
easy to you know, like cloud that spot of our

698
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:25.199
mind where anything like that would be possible. Like I mean,

699
00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:27.599
anybody who's married should be able to see you know,

700
00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:29.199
you look at your wife and you can read your mind.

701
00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:32.079
You know, it's there's something in there, you know, But

702
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:35.920
like I feel like it's something that is could absolutely

703
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:41.039
be possible, especially if you're you know, something that's you know,

704
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:46.320
not as you know, doesn't dwell on civilization and doesn't

705
00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:48.360
you know, involve itself in such things.

706
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:50.400
And I mean.

707
00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:55.320
There's talk about extraterrestrials and and and bigfoot and sure

708
00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:58.119
that could you know, when nothing is certain, anything is possible.

709
00:36:58.199 --> 00:37:03.360
I mean it's you got something that's hormin it or

710
00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:07.440
or you got you got something that is a species

711
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:10.800
of something that is out in the wilderness that I

712
00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:12.559
can't call the five o'clock news and be like I

713
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:17.559
got a dodging, you know. So it's it's possible that

714
00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:21.119
you know, extra correct you I'm sure maybe they're abducting them,

715
00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:22.039
doing research on them.

716
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.639
Maybe they're created me that way.

717
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:29.039
I don't know, but I'm I'm open to almost every

718
00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:31.760
aspect of it. So it's like, so again going back

719
00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:35.320
to the teleptothy thing, It's like, sure I could, I.

720
00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:40.519
Could see it, gotcha. So this sounds like is this

721
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:47.559
a thing where you're also trying to well, let me

722
00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:50.880
let me say it like this. So I find talking

723
00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:54.480
to individuals that usually there's one of two camps where

724
00:37:54.480 --> 00:38:00.960
there's either an individual where they are just outdoors and

725
00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:07.079
they have had experiences, or there's individuals where they have

726
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:12.360
had experiences and then they are trying to have more

727
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:16.679
experiences and so they're very much into it. What would

728
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:26.480
you put yourself into either one of those camps.

729
00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:26.119
Because of like the day to day stuff Like I

730
00:38:26.119 --> 00:38:29.360
I'm not out looking for it. Like I said, we

731
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:32.239
like to hide, we like to camp, and it's just

732
00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:34.199
stuff just like happens to us.

733
00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:35.559
And it's not every single.

734
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:43.079
Time, you know, but it's I'm I definitely look forward

735
00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:49.480
to something happening, but I'm not like, you know, you know,

736
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:51.039
out looking.

737
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:51.280
For it like I said.

738
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:52.840
I mean, if I go to a spot, I definitely

739
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:54.719
look for stuff like hey, is there a structure here,

740
00:38:54.840 --> 00:38:57.199
is there a footprint whatever, Like I'll look at that,

741
00:38:57.280 --> 00:38:59.119
but I'm not like, oh boy, I hope I have

742
00:38:59.119 --> 00:38:59.599
any counter.

743
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:01.559
But if it does, it does.

744
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:04.239
I mean, you can't like force these things on it,

745
00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:08.599
because I've seen documentaries where people have said that, you know,

746
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:10.559
if you're out looking for like, they know we're there

747
00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:13.920
before you know we get there. Like they they can

748
00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:18.159
hear our trucks, they can hear. Humans are just loud creatures,

749
00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:20.320
you know. We make a lot of noise, you know,

750
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:22.360
we're so they know we're there before we even get there.

751
00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:23.599
So it'll be like, oh, I'm gonna go to this

752
00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:26.039
camp site and I'm gonna do this and do that.

753
00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:28.239
I mean, I'm not saying it doesn't work, you know.

754
00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:30.360
I mean I've seen you know, videos and documentaries.

755
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:30.800
Work does.

756
00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:34.920
But there's also times where, you know, like on the Discovery.

757
00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:36.719
Channel, where they're like, oh, you know, we're gonna catch

758
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:38.480
you know, lockness, and then they go out they.

759
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:39.039
Don't find anything.

760
00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:43.960
You know. It's sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. But

761
00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:48.719
so I'm not out looking for it because it's it's

762
00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:50.559
they know we're there before we get there. I mean,

763
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:53.519
if they want to make themselves known, let them. If not,

764
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:58.480
it's okay, you know, because like all the other encounters

765
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:00.360
have usually had, it's just been like what's sta actually know,

766
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:02.639
three breaks, little things like that, nothing creepy.

767
00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:03.119
Nothing malicious.

768
00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:06.960
But the last one is just like that made us uncomfortable,

769
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:08.480
you know, and that was like, okay, that was our

770
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:11.480
first like encounter that kind of put us into fear.

771
00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:13.639
And another funny thing about that is my buddy that

772
00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:16.920
was with me is shortly after that. He ended up

773
00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:19.920
admitting that he heard not only growls, but grunts. I

774
00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:23.199
didn't hear grunts, he said, he did so, but we're

775
00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:25.039
not out there looking for it because it's like they

776
00:40:25.039 --> 00:40:25.559
know we're there.

777
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:28.679
You know. It's it's like I'm not I'm.

778
00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:29.960
Not gonna I mean, we're going on a high desk

779
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:32.039
one thing, but I'm not going to hike out five

780
00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:34.000
to ten miles to try and find something with my

781
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:35.559
family and then come back to camp.

782
00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:38.239
And it's just, you know, set up for camp in

783
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:39.199
general is a lot of work.

784
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:43.360
So no, absolutely, it is. Uh, it's a lot of work.

785
00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:45.639
It's worth it, but yeah, I agree with you, it's

786
00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:48.559
a lot of work. I'm looking at the map on

787
00:40:48.679 --> 00:40:52.480
this area and it looks like, well, I don't know

788
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:54.800
exactly how far away it is, but this is in

789
00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:58.880
the same region as Zion National Park, right.

790
00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:01.239
Kind of.

791
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:05.400
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Zion is to the east a little

792
00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:09.880
bit more, but Zion is still like southern Utah. Yeah,

793
00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:12.400
me and my family we've been out here for a

794
00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:15.559
few years and still haven't really gone to Zion. It's

795
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:17.960
it's it's too crowded for us. We like to, so

796
00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:20.239
that's why we don't like campus. You know a lot

797
00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:23.800
of sentient camp sites and you know, hike trails and

798
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:26.159
Zion because it costs money, you know, I mean times

799
00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:29.239
are tough, and there's just so many beautiful places to

800
00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:31.760
see that are closer to home that you don't have

801
00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:32.159
to pay for.

802
00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:35.199
Yeah. I think that's a little west of Zion.

803
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:40.320
I bring that up because I know that there's also

804
00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:46.480
uh Bigfoot accounts or or at least campfire stories from

805
00:41:46.519 --> 00:41:50.360
that area too, where it was called more a wild

806
00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:54.480
Man of Zion I believe, and that goes back almost

807
00:41:54.519 --> 00:41:58.639
one hundred years. So there's you know, not just the

808
00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:04.360
area you've been bringing up, which is west of fifteen

809
00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:14.480
right more or less, Yeah, but east of east of

810
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:18.119
fifteen if you want to say that highway is your

811
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:20.480
divide or it sounds like there could be stuff going

812
00:42:20.519 --> 00:42:24.079
on over there, but who knows it. I'd be interesting

813
00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:29.039
if people reach out if they've heard stuff in in

814
00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:33.840
your Cedar area or or the Zion National Park as well.

815
00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:39.719
Yeah, there's there's a there's talk about I guess there's

816
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:43.199
like a migratory thing. I don't know exactly what it's called.

817
00:42:43.239 --> 00:42:45.360
There's like a I want to I think it's a

818
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:48.519
Navajo reservation, but there's it might be you, but there's

819
00:42:48.559 --> 00:42:53.159
a reservation and there's talk of like that it's a

820
00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:58.719
big migratory path that comes down from like this reservation

821
00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:01.519
area and they go down to I don't possibly start

822
00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:04.719
like Arizona. I don't know, but there's like a you know,

823
00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:08.159
like they migrate down that way, so I don't know

824
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:11.679
it's in the area, so perhaps.

825
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:16.159
Yeah, it's it's really interesting. I mean that whole area

826
00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:19.559
down there. I mean, you've got I've taken stuff from

827
00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:22.920
around Grand Canyon and then just a ton of stuff.

828
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:25.159
Even though it's the other side of Utah, but it's

829
00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:28.800
also in the south. You got the Navajo Nation area.

830
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:32.239
Just so many, so many reports a bigfoot over there.

831
00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:36.840
So it's good to hear from the other side of Utah.

832
00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:39.199
I think you are the first individual I've talked to

833
00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:43.599
about southwest Utah, which is pretty cool. So good to

834
00:43:43.639 --> 00:43:52.880
have some representation of this area for sure. Casey, it

835
00:43:52.920 --> 00:44:01.199
has been a very interesting time chatting with you. I

836
00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:03.280
want to make sure that you were able to share

837
00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:07.840
everything that you came on the show to share today.

838
00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:13.119
I think I did awesome.

839
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:22.280
So and we can take this out just because it

840
00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:29.679
How many years ago did it happen again? When your

841
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:35.159
child had the sighting of something outside the tent? That was.

842
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:42.320
August twenty night to twenty twenty, so about six.

843
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:47.000
Years okay, six years ago? Okay, gotcha? Have you talked

844
00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:49.079
to and I bring this up just because I have

845
00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:56.360
a very similar situation in my life where my kid

846
00:44:56.559 --> 00:45:00.119
we were out a few years ago and he he

847
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:05.599
thought he saw something, And when you talk to him

848
00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:10.159
today about it, you you get different, you get details.

849
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:12.000
You know, as you have a conversation with someone as

850
00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:14.039
they get older, right because they know how to say

851
00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:19.719
things differently. Have you had a conversation with your child

852
00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:24.079
in years after that that incident about it?

853
00:45:26.119 --> 00:45:26.880
Not necessarily.

854
00:45:26.920 --> 00:45:29.280
I haven't sat him down and been like, hey, so

855
00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:33.679
look man, we got to talk about this. But anytime

856
00:45:33.719 --> 00:45:37.280
the topic the like bigfoot anything comes up, he brings

857
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:39.880
up oh yeah, like that time that I saw the shadow.

858
00:45:39.920 --> 00:45:42.480
He still called it a shadow, but I'm like stillhouette.

859
00:45:42.519 --> 00:45:43.480
But but he.

860
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:45.360
Still brings it up, and he gets like, oh like

861
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:47.880
that one time. You know, So he does bring it up,

862
00:45:48.280 --> 00:45:50.679
but I haven't add some like details per se, I mean,

863
00:45:51.079 --> 00:45:52.599
and it's hard to tell with this silhouette, you know

864
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:54.880
what I mean, because it's it's the light was coming

865
00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:57.360
from the moon. It's like we didn't have lanyrn sitting

866
00:45:57.360 --> 00:46:00.000
outside behind my tent. We didn't have like I said,

867
00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:01.760
we couldn't have a fire going, So it's not like

868
00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:05.119
and the fire was like where my head was, you know,

869
00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:07.519
not like where I was facing, but where my head was.

870
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:10.039
So it's like, it's not like the light came from

871
00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:16.639
my like anything that we had because you know, and

872
00:46:16.679 --> 00:46:18.800
again the tree line was like sixty feet away from us,

873
00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:21.000
so it it's but there was nobody else camp back

874
00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:23.199
there because you can't really drive up that way because

875
00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:25.519
the road kind of like like I mean, if you

876
00:46:25.559 --> 00:46:27.679
had something pretty heavy duty, but again we were kind

877
00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:30.119
of blocking it, so you couldn't really drive up there.

878
00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:31.320
So it's not like there was somebody else camper.

879
00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:32.199
Plus we wouldn't know.

880
00:46:33.199 --> 00:46:36.360
So I mean, with the moonlight, it maybe made it

881
00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:39.320
look shorter, you know, I just but he still does

882
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:39.880
bring it up.

883
00:46:42.400 --> 00:46:48.079
That's really that's really interesting. Based on what you've experienced

884
00:46:48.239 --> 00:46:52.280
and I mean what you've heard about the area, do

885
00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:57.719
you have any thoughts about I would say some people

886
00:46:57.800 --> 00:47:02.320
in certain areas of the US view Bigfoot in different ways.

887
00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:06.239
Do you view it in a certain way in your area.

888
00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:11.920
As in like what it is as a species.

889
00:47:11.519 --> 00:47:15.440
Or yeah, yeah, some people think it might be a

890
00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:20.400
undiscovered ape or a relative of human humans that we

891
00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:21.039
don't know about.

892
00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:26.840
Well, so I'm not a biologist.

893
00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:28.440
I didn't go to college for or anything like that,

894
00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:31.159
but I'd like to learn as much as I can

895
00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:35.400
about as much as I can. So I've from what

896
00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:38.239
I've picked up, you know, from my Google Wikipedia research.

897
00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:41.679
At one point there was at least thirteen home and

898
00:47:41.760 --> 00:47:44.400
it species like on the planet at the same time.

899
00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:49.400
Now again don't quote me on that, but and so

900
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:52.800
you know, they say that the reasons that humans surviving

901
00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:55.239
other us didn't is because we adapted all of the

902
00:47:56.639 --> 00:47:58.000
like DNA or the.

903
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:01.320
Certain things that helped us survive.

904
00:48:01.519 --> 00:48:05.159
We can handle certain weather better than like the Neanderthals could,

905
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:08.480
but the but the Neanderthals were better something else, and

906
00:48:08.559 --> 00:48:11.159
like there was also like inter breeding and stuff like that.

907
00:48:11.239 --> 00:48:16.400
So you know, I guess that's how we survived. And

908
00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:19.360
to say that another one didn't.

909
00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:24.679
Just I don't know. I feel like something could it

910
00:48:24.719 --> 00:48:26.039
could be one to survive.

911
00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:27.880
Could it be.

912
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:31.679
Something that you know, you know.

913
00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:34.519
Aliens took humans or an ape and like we're doing,

914
00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:39.519
you know, work on it and created bidfoot and brought

915
00:48:39.559 --> 00:48:39.920
it down.

916
00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:41.760
I don't know.

917
00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:44.400
It's the fact that I put stories of people saying,

918
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:45.679
oh they shot at them.

919
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:47.400
And oh there was blood, and.

920
00:48:48.119 --> 00:48:50.760
It's but there's some you know, with the whole you know,

921
00:48:51.199 --> 00:48:54.360
cloaking aspect that I mean, maybe there's different species. I

922
00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:56.719
mean because when you ask people about the encounters, they

923
00:48:56.760 --> 00:48:59.960
look different, you know, they they some of them are sure,

924
00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:01.880
some of them are taller, some of them are bigger,

925
00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:02.639
some of them are skip.

926
00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:05.559
So there's probably multiple different species.

927
00:49:05.559 --> 00:49:09.880
Maybe there's one that is an interdimensional being, maybe you know,

928
00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:12.840
because of extraterrestrials. Maybe there's some big but they can

929
00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:16.079
do that because they've been in contact with extra treshiels.

930
00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:18.639
Now as big a can cloak or teleport, whatever the

931
00:49:18.719 --> 00:49:21.400
case may be. I'm not play any of that out

932
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:24.639
of the question because, like I said, when nothing's certain,

933
00:49:24.719 --> 00:49:28.920
anything is possible, you know. So I do lean more

934
00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:34.360
towards the hominid like it's a flesh thing. But is

935
00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:37.960
it possible that some have the ability to do certain things?

936
00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:38.519
Absolutely?

937
00:49:41.719 --> 00:49:44.880
It really is an interest. It's always an interesting conversation

938
00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:46.599
when you when you bring that question up, because there

939
00:49:46.599 --> 00:49:48.719
are so so many different ways to look at it.

940
00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:51.599
And I mean, this might be the year where we

941
00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:56.760
get more info. You never know who knows what is

942
00:49:56.760 --> 00:50:00.639
coming down the pipeline with information. Leave it at that,

943
00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:04.960
But Casey, thank you so much for coming on the show.

944
00:50:06.559 --> 00:50:10.840
I appreciate you sharing what you've experienced over the years

945
00:50:11.079 --> 00:50:14.920
and listeners. If you know more about things that are

946
00:50:14.960 --> 00:50:18.039
happening in southwest Utah, I'd love to hear about it.

947
00:50:18.199 --> 00:50:21.079
You can always leave a comment or send me an

948
00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:24.360
email at Bigfoot Society gmail dot com. But thank you

949
00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:25.840
so much for coming on.

950
00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:28.719
Today, Casey, thanks for putting up on me.

951
00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:32.559
Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity

952
00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:35.800
around Oakridge, Oregon? And you think to yourself, Man, I

953
00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:38.679
would love to get out in those woods and experience

954
00:50:38.719 --> 00:50:43.280
it for myself. Well guess what this year you can.

955
00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:46.880
If this is interesting to you, stay tuned because it's

956
00:50:46.920 --> 00:50:51.840
pretty cool. Sasquatch Summer Fest is coming up July tenth

957
00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:55.519
through the eleventh, twenty twenty six. It's going to be

958
00:50:55.599 --> 00:50:59.639
even better than the previous year's reason number one. I'll

959
00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:04.320
be one speakers. It's gonna be wild. I'll probably I'll

960
00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:09.079
say this, there may be stuff you haven't heard anywhere else,

961
00:51:09.280 --> 00:51:14.920
because let's just say sometimes it's well, you just gotta

962
00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:17.320
be there. We'll leave it that more about looking for

963
00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:20.519
Bigfoot in the Oakridge Woods. Now check this out. You

964
00:51:20.679 --> 00:51:27.239
may know Jason Kenzie from his documentary series Searching for Sasquatch. Well,

965
00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:30.920
this year you can not only go to the festival,

966
00:51:31.320 --> 00:51:39.159
but you can also sign up for a track deep

967
00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:42.599
in the wild forest outside of Oakridge with Jason Kenzie

968
00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:47.119
to the Bigfoot spots to look for Bigfoot. There's only

969
00:51:47.159 --> 00:51:51.320
eight spots to sign up for this, and yes, this

970
00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:54.320
will also be filmed for the next chapter in his

971
00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:57.719
documentary series, which is Searching for Sasquatch. This is a

972
00:51:57.760 --> 00:52:00.280
once in a lifetime deal. It's just teresting. It's going

973
00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:05.079
to be a wild, wild experience. To get a ticket,

974
00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:09.480
head on over to Sasquatch Summerfest dot com and listeners

975
00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:15.000
can use the code b sp like Bigfoot Society podcast

976
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:17.599
in order to get a two day pass for the

977
00:52:17.639 --> 00:52:21.840
price of a one day pass. So thanks to Priscilla

978
00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:26.920
for giving me that code. So that you guys can

979
00:52:28.840 --> 00:52:33.360
can get a little help with the cost there. Appreciate that, Priscilla.

980
00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:37.039
I hope to see you at the booth in Oakridge

981
00:52:37.039 --> 00:52:40.519
this year. We can talk about your encounter. Was able

982
00:52:40.559 --> 00:52:42.840
to talk to so many people last year and the

983
00:52:42.920 --> 00:52:47.039
year before. It is an incredible time. You're not going

984
00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:48.880
to want to miss it, and I'll see you there.

985
00:52:51.199 --> 00:52:53.519
Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something

986
00:52:53.559 --> 00:52:56.760
directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're

987
00:52:56.800 --> 00:53:00.559
in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've

988
00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:03.400
seen something that no one can explain, or if you're

989
00:53:03.440 --> 00:53:06.719
a National park ranger or forestry worker who's been told

990
00:53:06.719 --> 00:53:09.719
to stay quiet, or if you're a pilot who's seen

991
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:13.039
something strange down on the ground, or if you're with

992
00:53:13.079 --> 00:53:16.760
the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence and you've

993
00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:19.880
stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about. And

994
00:53:19.920 --> 00:53:23.320
if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder

995
00:53:23.400 --> 00:53:26.639
who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense.

996
00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:31.000
If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field,

997
00:53:31.159 --> 00:53:34.159
or a trucker with government contracts and you've had something

998
00:53:34.280 --> 00:53:37.679
happen that you've never told a soul, and if you're

999
00:53:37.679 --> 00:53:41.559
a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under

1000
00:53:41.599 --> 00:53:44.960
contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.

1001
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:47.960
If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a

1002
00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:51.480
spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith,

1003
00:53:52.199 --> 00:53:55.280
or if you work in the shadows CIA, NSA or

1004
00:53:55.320 --> 00:53:58.679
anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't

1005
00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:03.519
than I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.

1008
00:54:11.719 --> 00:54:17.639
carry alone, and you're not alone. You've got the story,

1009
