Forward slash the Big for Society and now let's get on with the show. Oh hey, I'm sorry I don't have my picture up right now. I'm sorry. I didn't really I've never been called up into a box. I'm really sorry. I was a teacher at a local school here. I won't see the school, but a couple of the kids were my niece and nephew, and they're very down to earth, trustworthy kids.

0:55 They don't make up stories of very practical kids. You know. Camping in Petroleia and I was laying in a tent and the kids were kind of behind me up the mountain. They had walked up and they were exploring up in the mountain, and he was a tribal leader, so he was able to take the other kids up out past midnight. And all of a sudden, I saw all the flashlights bouncing, and a couple of them flew down the hill and the kids were screaming and yelling, and they came down and I met them into the kitchen. We were on a survival learning teaching the kids' survival skills, that type of thing, and so they went into this building that had the kitchen, and they were just like panting and just like they were just terrified. They were terrified. And we've seen bears before because we lived in California, so they know what bears look like. We have him in town here, you know. But my nephew said that there was they there was something standing there. It looked like a gorilla. He said it looked like a gorilla, but he thought it was about maybe two feet taller than him, and he's about five ten, so it didn't sound like it was big. And there was another one behind it that was smaller, and he saw the teeth and they were both just standing there and they were shot from the flashlights, and the kids kind of flew the flashlights down and one rolled down the side of the hill.

2:11 And I saw the lights bouncing and they were screaming, and so I didn't, but I believe my nephew, you know. And then his father, his father up in Northern Michigan, who's my brother, was camping up in northern Michigan, and he saw something like that also, and he knows what bears looked like. He knows what, you know. He saw something off in the distance and it looked at him and he said it was like, I don't know how to say how many feet away it was, but he said it was about three houses away. So I don't know how houses. How big is a house, I don't know. But he said. He could smell something. It smelled terrible, almost like death, like when somebody was dying, you know, the or I don't know. I'm sorry, I'm nervous. I'm not used to being on a thing here.

3:02 Oh no, you're great. But all he said is he remembers the smell that it smelled like death, and so he just booked it and went the other way. But the things weren't aggressive towards the my nephews, and he was the tribal leader and the kids they just kind of they were hunched over. When they the light shone on him, they stood up, so it kind of was like, hey, we're here. He kind of felt like it was threatening, but they didn't move towards him, but just standing up and taking that stance, both of them. And he said there was a smaller one behind him that was about his size, and I've never heard of that before, of a smaller one and a bigger one being together. And I'm not making this up. I'm a sixty three year old teacher. You know. We were just camping up in the mountains.

3:46 You know, I'm saying. So, you know, I mean, I don't know how helpful that is because I don't have pictures and you know, but. No, it's it's very helpful. And I mean, so it's a new area in California. I hadn't heard of out, but I mean, Humboldt County is incredibly known for sightings, oh a lot. I lived in the Redwoods and I've never seen one myself, but I've seen the faces of friends and people that I lived in the cabin with when they saw one. There's so many stories out and humble, you know. I lived a couple hours up into the mountain where you had to go up a dirt road for maybe a hour and forty five minutes just to get to where we lived, so we were really remote. We lived off the grid. My sister had somehow hooked up something to the stream so it would charge the battery, and the house plugged into a battery. So we were living off the grid for a couple of years. And there were a lot of sightings out there, but I never saw one myself, so I can't tell you for sure that they were bigfoots. But I trust the people that told me they saw them, you know. So I don't know.

4:53 I don't know if that helps you at all. It does, isn't it wild when you're able to talk to someone face to face that has had an actual sighting and just the look that they have, you just cannot That's not something that you can act. You know. It's terror, it is sure, And we all know what bears look like because bears are walking. We live in well, I don't I shouldn't say where I live. I guess it's okay, but there are bears in our town. We see bears and mountain lions, and they wander into town sometimes from the redwood trees, so we know what bears look like even when they stand up. And these were not bears. He said they had a face, they had shoulders.

5:35 When my nephew saw the two that were together, one of his hands was on the redwood tree, and he said they were like the hand was huge, almost as big as his whole the bigfoot heat which he called the bigfoot, almost as big as his whole face. They had this huge hand and almost looked distorted because it was too big. Now that sounds odd to me, but it was midnight, so maybe the last shining and it made it. Look that way. So yeah, I don't know. Have you seen one yourself? You know, I haven't yet. I've had a few weird things happen, you know. I've gone out in Iowa to an area I live out there and had some trees get pushed over, heard some wood knocks, heard whooping from my tent at three am two different years. And then out in Oregon, I went to the Willamat National Forest and we were way out in the woods like thirty miles out and something roared and screamed at us from the woods, and that was that was wild if I had been there the day before, and I would have been out there earlier. And there was a sighting in the same meadow that we were at by another group.

7:08 They saw one jump out of a pine tree and then run out of the meadow and into the woods. So I went over to that area and we saw we found some footprints. I'm about fifteen to seventeen inch footprints. Crazy. Yeah, so I've experienced some weird stuff, but the visual hasn't happened yet, but I'm sure if I keep on going the way I am, I'll probably experience something eventually. So well, after that, we all decided to stay out of the not stay in the tents, and we went into this kind of like cabin that was a kitchen, and we just huddled all the kids in there and we all slept on the floor and sleeping bags because we didn't know what it was. You know, I don't know.

7:54 I guess that's not a very good story because I didn't get to see it myself. But it's a good story because it it adds another area for people to be aware of. So I'm glad you came up. Thank you for coming up and sharing what you know, and I appreciate it. Thank you. Okay, here here, here we go. Hi there, thanks for coming up. He either. Sorry, I want to make sure I pronounce your name correctly. Oh it's a l A Lee now that's uh mainly my handle who muta from the Nava Nation. My name is Don So I work. Yeah, I work with Jevining Research. Yeah, I am a sasquatch researcher as well from the Navajo Nation.

8:58 And you know, I been tracking him for probably over nine years, under nine years. And yeah, he travels all across the Four Corners and you know they they live off the livestock. Scared the crap out of people, try to take people, chase kids all night, you know, just the horrible scary stories. It's a it's it gets pretty creepy. My story starts in two thousand and eight hiking with some family on the Seven of Us around twelve twelve o'clock at night in the summertime. So we were hiking probably three four miles out of the Community of Health Chief at Utah by a monument valley Utah, and next manhat Utah area. So yeah, that's the thirty minutes of our hike. We heard vocalizations, you know, and we we looked over shine. We had a bright flashlight, so we've seen the red hills and we've seen a huge, huge eyes a going back and it was it was amber color, and it was all family. And I told him, hey,

10:30 he wants to wants to go check us out. It's probably a skinwalker. It's probably just an old man or old lady, you know, just doing their hookus pocus, you know, let's go check it out. Everyone was just quiet and staring at this eye, these eyes, and I was all right, now, I guess so good by myself. You guys want to see something, but you guys aren't brave to follow me. So I started walking up and getting closer. So it's like eighty yards out, eighty sixty yards. From eighty to sixty it was pasting back and forth, and from sixty to forty it stopped pasting and it was on two feet, so cougars ruled out. It's then facing me square, so the sort of red hills, red red dirt everywhere, and then oh my god, like at least thirty yards thirty more yards, and I realized that it had red hair, and red hair match with the dirt, and I started swaying back and forth. It was like five feet wide, wider than the plywood, with a dumb head. And what really stopped me was it did it didn't really grow ungodly grail really really a girl that I'll never forget

12:03 that would make me stop my track. You know, I'm six foot, so I'm not afraid of many things that you know, I'm not afraid of many things. So it made me stop. And they started swaying back and forth, and I think it was shaking it to a head while it was making it strange noise. You can find that on a Sierra Sierra Sounds if you do research on that. One of the sounds on there really makes it. Made that sound is before I discovered Sierra Sounds. This is two thousand and eight, before any of the scot popular, you know. And I stopped and it was swaying, it was making noise, and it backed up and the eyes was, you know, bigger than softball, it was really huge. It backed the way and you know, her turned back to my family and ask me what was it, and I told him I live, you know, I said, it's a bobcat.

13:05 Let's keep going. So we continued on their hike, you know, down the wash, and this thing was staling, stocking us. And I didn't tell my family at the time. They were from Nevada, so they're off raised, off the reservation. So they got in the town and they wanted to hike. And this is my backyard, so I can't I can't be afraid, you know, and I know what's around. Just wild donkeys are the main concern. So we was stalking us for three hours, and you know, we got closer to the community and the smallest family member, he was short.

13:46 He's like five five five maybe like maybe like one hundred and twenty pounds, you know, he's really thin. So he got ahead of us and he went around the corner of this big hill and I seen him. I looked down to check my footing. There was no moon, there was no stars. It was pitch it was pitch black night. And I looked up and I seen him flying towards me with big old eyes and his mouth was wide open, his hands was wide open, like he's going to give me a huge hug. And he tackled me, and you know, I told him, what did you see? What did you see? Tell me? And you know he was saying, now, yeah, Aloshi, I mean skinwalker. So I was telling him. I was like, yeah, I know what I know, but what did you see? I need you to tell me, you know, And he finally said it was a red ring attain running towards him on all fours, Yeah, on all ford, and it was trying to grab him.

14:50 And as soon as he said that, I started running on that road where he came. And a cousin of mine year behind me he joined me. I was eighteen seventeen at the time, and we ran, we hit that corner probably twenty yards. We ran into a wall of stink. Big for society will be right back after these messages.

15:30 You know, you never believe the smell of this thing. So yeah, ran up the heel the he'll the heel very oh man, I need to go back and get a video of this. The heal I'm talking about. It's impossible for us humans to climb up even on all fours, very steep, steep hill. Yeah. So that was my first time encountering it, but you know, raised on now nation. You know, I seen huge black hairry arms reaching through the window and seeing what everyone calls as a dog man. Oh don so if you're a researcher in that area, do a lot of people report seeing something that looks like in Orangutan when they see it, Yeah.

16:24 Ring and tan or different colors white, white hair, black hair, buckskin, blonde. The biggest track I seen was over twenty three inches, so the height on that's over twelve foot tall. Yeah. The red ones seem to be at nine feet, but there's bigger one than the sasquatch. There's different ones. They look a little different than each other, different feet, different toes, and they really liked their privacy. M hmm. Gotcha. Are there any that have only four toes instead of five toes?

17:12 Yeah? Yeah, three toes as well. Okay, I've talked to individuals up in the Pacific Northwest or Prince of Wales Island in Alaska. They say that the four toad individuals can cause a lot of issues. Have you found that down where you're at as well? Don't matter that the toes okay, yeah, okay, they just they like to drink blood. Oh okay, yeah, we got them filming a documentary this past earlier this month. They'll be on two B next year. Okay, it's it's a documentary of us running around the Chuskas and Fort Defiance Plateau area. So it's going to be really good documentary.

18:07 It's a just gonna be me on the fly, you know, going to people picking pinion, to people at the swall meat asking for witnessing stories, and we go check out places and we found a lot of a lot of evidence of Sasquats living on Navor Nation. You know, I don't want to give too much away. Yeah, absolutely. Do you have a name for it yet so we can keep an eye out for it. So far, my my team is called Jevining Research. So we worked with the bigfoot researcher that's been doing this for fifty years, forty years now, so he.

18:48 Has yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we've been I've been working with him for the past four years and he has a film out on TV right now called Oregon Bigfoot Evidence. But yeah, the second one, it's gonna be in Texas. That was gonna drop next year. Then the third one is the Navajo Bigfoot. So far, that's what the producer told me. The name of the film pod. If you go and part our podcast, it's a Creek Devil, Creek Devil, you'll see some of our stories from the Navaho Nation on the pretty Scary Stories.

19:33 Okay, yeah, well we'll definitely check that out. I know he's a he's a good dude. I've heard a lot of good about him, and I've watched that that documentary about Oregon Bigfoot as well. But yeah, don thank you for coming up and we'll definitely keep an eye out for that. Oh yeah, thank you. Appreciate talking to you and meeting with you. Absolutely, you have a good one man. You as well. Thank you God bless. Good stuff, good stuff. This is a good night. Lynn. I had a sighting south of Murphysboro, Illinois at Oakwood Bottoms National Preserve Natural Preserve. Also heard knocks. I'm going to see if lynn is feel free to send me an email. I'd love to hear your story either way.

20:17 Are you going to be near Wisconsin or Tennessee? Right now? It's Oregon, Oklahoma and probably the Nebraska Bigfoot Conference in April. I don't have any plans for Wisconsin or Tennessee, not this year. Here we go, Hey, middle how's it going. Can you hear me, I ken, you sound great. Thanks for coming up. Feel free to share what happened on that road trip out in Oregon. Okay. So I was looking for a house to buy out here on the coast in Oregon, and my friend had come with me. We came out and we looked at a few places, and on our way back to Boise, we drove through all these really lonely highways, like one twenty six one. I don't remember exactly which one, but we didn't see anything. And about three in the morning, and not that we were looking, we weren't, but we were traveling through, of all places, the southern deserts of Oregon.

21:36 We were about I want to say, we were between I'm trying to think of the name of that place, Burns, Oregon and Vail. And it was about three fifteen, maybe three thirty in the morning. And I had driven this way so many times, never at this time of night. It was just the two of us, and we come around a corner on Highway twenty. There's nothing out there. There's maybe some ranches scattered here and there, all cattle ranches. So we come around a corner and there's a fence, and it was just the weirdest experience. We came to almost like a stop, I think, because we both my headlights in my car picked up this thing. I don't need.

22:31 We don't know what it was, but there's a fence, a cattle fence about i'd say four feet maybe four and a half feet high, and there's this thing and it's bent over. It's on the other side of the fence, and we're on the road and I would say we're we're probably about maybe five to six feet away from whatever it was, because the road went right up next to the fence, and on the other side it's all just open range sagebrush. I think the. Mallear River was right there, and whatever this was, it was bent over on the other side and it was shredding something. And we're watching these weird long arms were undulating in this really unnatural way, ripping something, and we're seeing what looks like fur and chunks of flesh just flying from whatever the headlights could pick up. And we had kind of come to a stop, and we both at the same time said, what the beep is that?

23:39 And we're just watching it for a minute, and I'm trying like my mind is rollodexing through things it could be, and I'm like, no, it's not that, it's not that. And what the headlight. What I saw through the headlights was it had kind of like grayish looking like elephant skin is what I would describe it, and long, kind of sparse hair, not super thick, and this thing was skinny from. What I could tell. We both agreed what we were seeing afterwards when we talked about it, and it was just ripping something apart, and we're just staring at it because we can't figure out what in the heck we're seeing. And then it turns its head and it looks at us, and these eyes are like the size of golf balls, and they weren't super far apart, but they weren't close together. And it just is staring at us while and it does not stop what it's doing. And I finally said, just drive, drive, drive, drive, and we drove really fast. We didn't feel safe until we were almost all the way to Veil, Oregon, and it just was an eerie I mean, I don't know what else it could have been. I don't know what it was.

25:09 I mean for a person witnessing them doing something that's one of the most intense ones I've heard. So you were able to actually see the face for a bit, Well, we. Couldn't actually see a face or any facial features, but these eyes, I mean, and they look I don't know if it was the headlights reflecting on them. I don't remember my headlights making it up that high on the face. But the eyes were lit up like a yellow ye white color and it didn't blink. It just it was I don't even know. It was crazy. It was the weirdest thing. And we I don't know what else it could have possibly been, but something like that, and I, I don't know, I feel kind of crazy. I've never told anyone we you know, because I told my family, my sister and she like laughed at I'm like, no, I yeah, I don't know. It was so insane.

26:18 What's the year on that again? Approximately, it was right about twenty nineteen, right before the shut down? Yeah, okay, oh wow, that's I don't get too many sightings from the desert part of Oregon. So that is is very cool that So you said burn between burns and veil. Yeah, it's very interesting. I'll keep that in mind. Did you get to see a shape to its head at all. Maybe just a little tiny bit of whatever light picked up.

27:00 It wasn't. It didn't have like that cone head that people say that it had. It just kind of had a it was skinny, like lanky, and as far as I could tell, it just almost had like a thimble shaped head, like a sewing symbol. If I had to say something, it was. That's all that I could kind of see the shape. And I don't even know how long we sat there and looked, because it's when they people say time stand still when you're kind of experiencing something that you don't understand and you can't grasp what it is. I don't even know how long we I mean, it wasn't that long, but it just I still we still don't know. We both agree that that's the only thing that it could have possibly been.

27:59 Well, I appreciate you coming up and sharing what you experienced. Do you mind if you get a minute after this, if you could send me an email just in case I have any follow up questions for you later. Yep, and I live in Oregon now and heard I have heard other strange things out here. I haven't seen anything else, but yeah, I will definitely chill out for a while. That's awesome. And yeah, if you ended up living out by the coast, I mean the coast has a ton of activities. But I don't know where you ended up, but I mean anywhere in that state really has stuff going on.

28:43 I'm very close to the northern California border. Oh oh, you're so in that you don't even know you well, you probably do know that if you're by Grants Pass or Applegate, that whole area down there is absolutely insane with sightings that I've gotten personally, I mean everyone has seen stuff down there. So yeah, please keep in touch. I would love to follow up if needed. Thank you for coming on up. Thank you Chandler. I've seen him in Alabama. I'm going to send a request to Chandler to see if Chandler wants to big for Society.

29:25 Who will be right back after these messages come up. Hey Chandler, how's it going. Thanks for coming on Hey good well, I feel free to share what you've experienced down there in Alabama. Sair. So I'm in the mid Midwest region of Alabama this part in time. I grew up on a very very like like outdoorsy family. I've always hunted them, fished my whole lifetime. You know, I have an older brother that's always tried to scare me about, you know, watch out, you know, for things in the woods.

30:18 You know, once the once the moon actually sets up in the woods. You know, it's always been you don't you don't, you stay out of the woods. So I've always had a good fear. I've respected the woods at night. Well, it was about when I was I say it was probably when I. Was twelve, twelve or thirteen. It was back in twenty twelve or I say twenty eleven, I was up. I was in Alabama at this time, and I had my best friend with me, and we used to always go out with our red rider b beguns and we used to you know, shoot tweety birds and squirrels, you know, same old things we did. Well, we've always joked around, uh and seeing Bigfoot. You know, it's it's always been like, that's always been our passion is to see Bigfoot.

31:10 You know. You might hear Bobcat once in a while and it might make your hair stand up on the back of your neck because it sounds like a woman screaming in the woods. Well, this particular day, we. Went out and uh we killed a couple of squirrels, you know, and we were we were on this long power line. And when I say power line, it's it's power lines that run straight up on uh, on two sides of woodline and it's probably about three hundred foot uh from one side of the woodline to the next, and it and it's it goes up a giant hill and then we'll go back down and usually on the bottoms it's nothing but swamp, but me and my buddy at the time, we would use that to cut through our trails and everything. Well, one afternoon, we had seen it was getting darker, so we started heading back and we cut. We were like, hey, we're gonna cut through the power line. So we cut through the power line.

32:00 And at that time we had heard something and you know, it's just like you know, we're we're like, it might just be a bobcat, you know, it might be some somebody in the woods. But in the region we are, no one's around us. It's just us. And so we continue walking. You know, eleven twelve years old, we're kind of sketched out at this point in time. So we start doing a little fast paced and we heard the sound again and it sounds like a kind of like a whoop or like a like a kind of like when somebody just goes whoop, and uh, you.

32:42 Know, it kind of freaked us out. We didn't know what it was. And as soon as we said that, you know. Right there up on a ridge, because we were we were at a bottom and right there up on the ridge. It's I mean, we caught it a mountain, but it's not a mountain. It's just a giant hill. But this particular one has a lot of rocks and a lot of like, uh, it's been washed out, so it's pretty hard to get up there, and it had been raining, so it's muddy and it's slippery and everything else. Well before that time, we had we'd just seen something right there, and so we stopped. We're at the bottom and we're looking up and we've seen something and I mean, this is we're standing in grass that is almost taller than us, though this is all like saw grass and whatnot, and we see something stand up and it's like almost it's right there in the middle. It stands up and it stands and it just sits there and looks at us for a second, and we see it, and we both look at each other and we're like, you know, we're are we seeing things or we both you know, we have the fear of God going down our back and it's just standing there staring at us. Well, we're just like we don't know what to do. You know, we need to go up this so because this is our only way home. Well, he's just standing there and we're just thinking, you know, it could be somebody. But I mean, I'm sitting there scared as all get out. This is

34:12 the most probably the most scared I've ever been the whole entire life. And I'm just like my pupils. Probably had to be the size of half dollars because I was so entirely afraid. Well, this this thing is just sitting here, and it is probably a minute then when it goes right back down to squatting down, and we're just like this has got. Oh man, Chandler, I think you may have muted yourself by accident. A fast quick motion of just loud footsteps. Just run, Chandler.

34:55 Your your audio went out for after you said it crouched back down again. Okay, Okay, yeah, I was getting tall bad. I was. We had walked up to the ridge and you know, because we were just we we didn't know what was going on. So we walked up to the on top of the hill. And then next thing, you know, I mean, like I said before, we're standing in in saw grass that is almost as tall as us. I mean, we're eleven years old, you know, and this this grass as tall as tall as all get out. And it's pretty hard for a person to maneuver through this grass because if you're not from the south, saw grass is like I don't know if you ever heard of like pompous grass, but it will cut you like bare skin. It will cut you if you're running, it will cut you up. And it's super thick to navigate through. And I mean, next thing, you know, we get to the top of the ridge and all you hear is just is just running at a super fast paced and all you hear is just trees crashing down. I mean just bushes just crunching. And we're just like now we're like we got the fear of God again. You know, We're sitting here, we crouched down because we're so scared. We're hiding in the sawgrass terrified.

36:16 You know, what is this out here with us? You know, it's just this and this it's us and this creature out here with us, and we're just. Oh, we have is little pet guns. We don't have actual rifles. We just have little pellet guns. And I mean, I really I haven't even told this story to a whole lot of people because most of the people just don't believe me. People just call me crazy. But I'm I've been hunting the woods since I was a kid. I mean, and I don't know what I saw that day, but from that day on, I've always said that I've believed in Bigfoot and no doubt that there's something out there all right, and not it might not be Bigfoot, you know, it could be just some kind of descendant. I don't know what it is, but I will firmly believe that there is something out there that we have not you know, actually cracked down on the species yet.

37:16 But I mean, that's my story right there. Well, man, thank you for coming up and for sharing that. You said it was a western Alabama. It was like south south Alabama, like in the middle. It's in this county called Monroe County. I really don't even think there's any been. I know there's been bigfoot sidings in North Alabama and possibly South Alabama, but I've just kind of kept it to myself, you know, because everybody just thinks it's a joke. Yeah. I usually get reports from Talladega National Forest or Bankhead National Forest, which are totally different areas from Monroe. That's really interesting, oh Man. Yeah, thank you for sharing that.

38:07 That is a brand new area for me. I appreciate it. Did you happen to get a good look at the face it all at any time during that. No, I mean we were We're standing probably one hundred and fifty yards to two hundred yards away from this. But what I can tell you is that if I had a guess that he was probably standing in that nine and a half ten foot tall, because this all brass was. Coming like barely on to his knees. And the way it dropped down into a crouch or a prone. That's what freaked me out. Something so big just dropped down and then got back up and.

38:51 Just bolted full force. Chandler, thank you for coming up and for sharing your story. It sounds like for one of the first times I really appreciate that. Of course. Man, anything, I'll be here listening to everybody else's all right. Thanks for coming up, dude, good stuff this is there's a ton of people that are hanging I appreciate everyone hanging out. What you've experienced in the comments. I've got hired here, says twenty five years ago between the Grand in the summit of Cabbage Hill, Cabbage Hills in Oregon, frost I eighty four in front of my truck. We'll see if that individual can come up. Hi, they're hired.

39:47 Thanks for coming up. How's it going. I'm doing okay. How about yourself? Doing great? So I saw your comment about that you had a road crossing sighting around Cabbage Hill and Oregon. Uh. Yeah, most truck drivers, most of those old truck drivers and a bunch of new ones. They're very familiar with that. Hell. But this happened between La Grand, about halfway between La Grand and Pendleton, or actually the summit of Cabbage Hill, which is just east of Pendleton. Cabbage Hill drops down into Pendleton. It was right about midnight and I was headed west, headed toward the west coast, coming out of Boise, and got to an open spot and there's nothing. You know. Traffic was light, and it was late spring, mid to late spring, still a little bit of snow on the ground, but it was just on the ground down. Roads were clear, and in the headlights I saw something come, a shadow come across the eastbound side, and that three foot concrete wall between the

41:17 eastbound and westbound side. It stepped over it like I would step over a I don't know, a couple of sacks of concrete or something standing up on edge. Yeah, it walked over it, just you know, I would say it was between eight and nine feet tall, definitely a good layer of fur on it, and it crossed the road right across in front of me. I pulled over on the shoulder and in the sandy, sandy dirt, dirt and soil right there on the side of the road, I got perfect, perfect footprints. And I used to have pictures and I think they're still on my computer on my old computer here in the corner. I took pictures.

42:16 And of course this was after uh, I did something really stupid. I hit the shoulder and I grabbed the forty five Colt revolver and I carry you with me, and I stepped and I stepped off to the the edge of the woods and I got across the broken down barbed wire fence and went about one hundred feet into the woods and all of a sudden, uh, common sense kicked in and says, you don't want to go any further. So I stepped back to the stepped back to the truck, and I grabbed a camera, and of course this is before we had some phones. I grabbed camera and stepped out and under the headlights, I got some really good pictures of the footprints. So that was that was pretty much my experience.

43:14 That is, that is incredible. And you said it was about twenty five years ago, right right, Okay, if you had to guess how long those footprints were, what would you say? They were a good thirteen to fifteen inches. Okay, yeah, I measured them too. I had a thank you from from okay, from a from an old memory, but I'm sixty two now, from an old from an old guy's memory. That was, if I recall, it was between thirteen and fifteen inches long. Okay, from what you what you saw across in front, did it look more like a human type creature or maybe an a type creature that was going across in front of a little bit of both.

44:07 Yeah, a combination of all the above. Okay, did you notice anything about its arms as it was crossing in front of you? Everything appeared to be, uh, proportional to the body size for any man. And so you're sitting in your truck as you're driving, is the head of it level with your eye level? You're looking out, Yeah. Somewhere somewhere in the vicinity of about between eight and nine feet tall. I'm looking at it eyeball to eyeball.

44:56 Yeah. I've talked to a few truckers before and they always say something similar, like they're looking at pretty much dead on because of how tall it was, which is incredible. If you happen to find those photos, I would love to see them. If you do, you know, find them on the computer. If you get a chance to look, feel free to My email's right there if you feel inclined to send them. Totally up to you, though, I'd love to take a look at them. Yeah. I just took a screenshot and I've got your email here. Now perfect, all right, we'll hired. Thank you so much for coming up and for sharing what you experienced that day.

45:41 Big for society will be right back after these messages. It was. It was interesting and I don't know if anything, you know, anything would have happened if I had have continued deep into the woods or not. But like I said, common sense took over and said that you don't want to go any further, So I turned around and went one hundred feet back to the road. Probably probably a good choice that you did that where you got the camera.

46:26 Yeah, it could have been. It could have been the best choice. I don't I don't know if U six rounds of forty five Colt would have put it down easy or not. But at the same time, I really didn't. I really didn't want to find out. It was more of a defensive measure than an offensive measure. You have a good name, you too, Thank you, Hi there, Thanks for coming up. So I've been with my significant other for thirteen years now, and when I first met him, like with after like a year, he told me a story about him. He's he grew up at Mayaca, which is kind of a kind of a secluded area.

47:15 It's not very built up. There's a lot of like farms in wooded area. Though this area has changed a lot and actually where he saw the they call it over here a skunk ape, and where he saw it was the area that was wooded is no longer wooded. It's they pretty much knocked down on the trees. But basically he was by he was at the Mayaca River under a bridge, like him and his uncle and father were fishing. And he was on the one side under the bridge and his and his father and his uncle were on the other side, and he was fishing, and all of a sudden he noticed across the river, like in the wooded area, this like gray face, furry face like taking water from the river and drinking it and just like looking dead at him. And he just was like walking backwards looking at it, and then just you know, like went off and went back to where his his uncle and dad were, but they and they didn't believe him, and they were like, you know, saying yeah, okay and laughing at him. But he swears he saw it.

48:24 And then what was interesting was that about I don't even think. A year later on YouTube, somebody uploaded a video in Mayaca State Park of two or I don't I don't know what it was wanted to, but they were these you know, dark looking you know, you know, like a almost like an ape figure, you know, running in the in the field. So, I mean, I I don't think he would lie. I never, you know, I never. He's not really that type of person. He's pretty sincere. So I believed him when he told me. But then when I saw that video, I was like, oh, wow, this is like really a thing. So yeah, that's pretty much the story I was told.

49:05 Wow, uh, you know what. Thank you for sharing what you were told there. It would be interesting if you google my ACA skunkcape, you should find a photo that's pretty famous, and it would be interesting to see if what he experienced was anything similar to that photo if you can find it. Yeah, I have seen that photo actually that you're talking about. It's like somebody I think it was like kind of like in a bush and they saw like it was a woman, it was in her yard or something like that, and I think she was hearing noises and then I ended up taking a picture of it or something like that. I'm correct about the story, but yeah, I mean he's seen that. And because when when he first told me, then the video got uploaded, you know, it was just like a topic of you know, like when we were hanging out sometimes we would we would talk about it. So, like I said, he only really saw like the face of it, and it was like crouched down and it was like putting, you know, drinking water with his hands at the at the river. So that's and he said that it had like a gray face, which is you know, like grayish fur on his on his face.

50:20 That's extremely interesting. Thank you for coming up and sharing. You're You're welcome to uh, you know, if you feel inclined to do so, you can always pass on My email. Might be interesting to to hear from him as well, but up to you. Yeah, I'll definitely give it to him, and I'm sure he'll he'll be interested to uh to write back. But where one time when he was showing me where exactly on the river, it happened all those you know, all like I said, all that got knocked down. So I always wonder if if there is something you know, like this out there, like where would they go once they start knocking down you know, where they're where they're from, Like where do.

51:01 They you know, go after? But I haven't seen it, but I you know, I'm one of those people that if I don't see it. I don't know, like I'll I believe it until you know it's like, well, it's never definitely going to be a definite you know, you never will know for sure pretty much. So I believe it because I you know, I don't think he would lie, and I believe that he did see that. So but yeah, I'll definitely send him your email and see for him to tell you his version because I'm sure I've left things out and you know, things like that, but that's basically what the story was, all right. Well, thank you, thank you for coming up. I appreciate you you sharing that.
