00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.359

18
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:25.159
perfect. All right. Well,
I'm very interested and the rest of the

19
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.560
chat is interested in what you've experienced, So I'll go ahead and let you

20
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:38.959
take the floor. My friend,
Well, it's a little convoluted. Last

21
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:46.879
summer, I'm a professional illustrator and
artist and writer and wife and I had

22
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:53.879
separated and sold our house and for
the summer, I'm from northern California.

23
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.280
I decided to kind of camp my
way down to Cascades to hang out with

24
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:04.560
some old friends down in the Reading
Ear area. And I'm a lifelong outdoorsman

25
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.120
and I needed to get away and
you know, just chill. It had

26
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.560
been a rough spring for her and
I and everything's good with us, by

27
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.520
the way, not a bad thing
in a way, but anyway, so

28
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:23.240
I needed to go chill. So
in June, after a family stary Mooney

29
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:31.039
over in Eureka, I decided to
head over towards a place that friends and

30
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:36.759
I had camped out for many years. Now. I'm not going to name

31
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:43.439
any particular places. I'm going to
keep that secret because I plan on going

32
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.759
back after what I experienced, and
I don't want a bunch of people going

33
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.800
there, no problem, or was
I so a place we had camped out

34
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.360
for many years in the back country. I'll say it between shafts and lasso

35
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:59.840
and leave it at back about six
thousand elevations back country in June, and

36
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:05.439
of course last year was a very
snowy year for California, much like it's

37
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.520
going on right now. Actually.
But as I got back farther than farther

38
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:13.439
into the backcountry, going up blogging
roads to this place, a lake that

39
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.479
would camp out for decades friends,
and I got to a place where I

40
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:22.039
couldn't go any further because of snow, and so I parked and got out

41
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.120
and walked down the road farther,
thinking maybe the road would open up again,

42
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:28.599
and it didn't. It just packed
with snow. But as I was

43
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.639
looking around, I always look for
tracks and things like that, and not

44
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:38.319
necessarily bigfoot tracks. But coming up
out of this valley where this lake is,

45
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:43.800
was I don't know, one hundred
feet of tracks in the snow,

46
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:49.639
which I took video and photos of. I actually started my own little YouTube

47
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:54.280
channel to share some of the stuff
that I'm going to talk about. I

48
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.280
couldn't get any farther back to this
place. And by the way, over

49
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.280
the years we have heard would not
back there, and I have found tracks

50
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:06.319
back there in previous years. Anyway, so I ended up camping there in

51
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:10.479
the snow, thinking, well,
you know there's tracks right there, I

52
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:14.639
don't need to go back down to
the lake and camp for the night.

53
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.319
And nothing happened. And by the
way, I can't quite a bit by

54
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:23.240
myself in the back country. Doesn't
bother me. So I go on down

55
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.800
to Chico Sea buddies and friends.
I took the photos and videos, of

56
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:31.040
course, which was freaking all my
friends out seventeen's tracks. And I'm a

57
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:35.040
big guy, by the way,
I'm six three and two forty and with

58
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:42.839
a side thirteen and these tracks dwarf
mine. Anyway, I come back up

59
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.639
to Seattle, see friends. I'm
living in the Seattle area and do some

60
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.360
stuff. I have a gig down
in LA for the month of August,

61
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:55.800
working on a film, doing Concept
Park, so I've got time to kill.

62
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.800
And I decide now that I have
a gig lined up, I have

63
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.680
a plan, but I have whole
month of July to kind of just kill.

64
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:06.040
And the tracks have been on my
mind quite a bit, but now

65
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:11.319
I need to work on some parts. I decided to go up to a

66
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.439
place that I'd not been to in
a long time. And it's this very

67
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.160
tiny little camp Crown, not I
would say, within ten miles of the

68
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:24.360
place where I fell in the snow
trackh And this is now mid July,

69
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:35.720
and I plan on going up for
three nights. And this is July sixteenth.

70
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:42.959
I arrived at this place about noon. It's beautiful. Redding was one

71
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:47.519
hundred and eleven degrees. It was
seventy two where I cut feo camp,

72
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.759
so that was wonderful. I set
up camp, I get some wood,

73
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:57.600
you know, I sleep in the
back up my truck in a campy truck.

74
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.279
I just make a nice bed back
there, tailcat down, pointing at

75
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:05.000
the fire. That's generally how I
can't As evening went on. Oh and

76
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:10.399
by the way, the place seemed
weird right off the back, very quiet.

77
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.600
I always look around for tracks,
just to see what company I might

78
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:19.399
have, as in bears or cougars
or whatever deer. It's just one of

79
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:23.439
my things. I do. Mean, I didn't see any tracks, which

80
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:29.839
I found freaking, very freaky,
very quiet, very strange to me.

81
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.079
Right off the back, it's beautiful
up there, very quiet, very beautiful,

82
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.920
so I'd go about my day.
But that evening I'm sitting by my

83
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:43.720
campfire and the boys hair standing up
on me already. It's dark. It's

84
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.399
dark. You can see the sky
a little bit, but the underbrush,

85
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:51.399
the trees. And I'm also down
in a tiny little valley that's actually the

86
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:56.480
headwaters of a drain, and it's
just a little valley really, it's not

87
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:01.240
very big. At the top of
the mountain ridges like a sixty feet again,

88
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.720
you can't see the underbrush that forests
around me, just from a campfire.

89
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:11.800
Across this, about thirty feet in
front of me is a dry creek

90
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.560
bed, which is the top of
the strange but in it in places is

91
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.959
water, but in front of me
it's dry. Your creek beds five six

92
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:24.439
feet white at the most, filled
with pebbles and rocks, just to give

93
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:30.920
you the idea. And across that
creek, through some trees is a large

94
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:35.600
meadow, which there's photos of about
maya YouTube channel. There's a large metal,

95
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.560
beautiful metal. It's just a big
seep spring, is what it is.

96
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.839
Somewhere at the top of that tree
line above the meadow. I hear

97
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:54.360
something scream and bark and it's not
super loud, but there's plenty loud enough

98
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:59.199
that I can hear it. And
I've never heard anything like you. And

99
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.319
I'll come back to that in the
next I actually went through a library of

100
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.160
listening to vocalizations, and I'll tell
you about that in a minute, anyway,

101
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.839
And what the hell is that?
And immediately after that, crash bang,

102
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:18.199
boom, snap, trees, limbs, brush, something big, is

103
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:24.600
something piste off. I'm like,
well, okay, this is interesting.

104
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.279
And then again I can't see anything
beyond my camp fire. My trust picked

105
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:37.559
a table right here with me,
beat fire pit. Something in the creek

106
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:43.000
bed in front of me scatters pebbles
and rocks, and this creek bed is

107
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.039
forty feet in front of me and
I can't see it. I don't know

108
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.120
what it is. And all this
has just happened boom boom, all like

109
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.799
successful. I don't scare easy.
I can't buy myself all the time in

110
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.639
the back country. It does not
bother me. I have scared lankety blankety

111
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.919
blank. I do something I've never
done in my life. I get in

112
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.360
front of my truck and I spend
the night in the front of my truck.

113
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.320
It's scared the hell out of me. I'm shaking right now as I

114
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.159
talk about it. I get up
the next day and I'm like, wow,

115
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:22.200
So the art project's kind of now
out of my mind completely. I'm

116
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.159
supposed to be sketching art while I'm
up here and chilling, but now this

117
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.519
happens, Like, oh wow.
So I checked the camp over and at

118
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:33.200
the other end of my camp at
maybe camp little camp around, I should

119
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.360
say, there's just a couple of
places there to camp. It's a nice

120
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:39.600
little camp around. There's a pipe
that comes out of the ground with some

121
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.279
spring water coming out of it,
and near that pipe, and there was

122
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.600
no tracks there the day before.
It as I looked, it's a fresh

123
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:54.159
fifteen inch track in the dirt,
which I take videos and photos of and

124
00:09:54.200 --> 00:10:00.759
it's perfect. I actually send it
to a Cliff at the Oregon Museum there

125
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.799
in Oregon. Cliff, I can't
think of this last name, but I

126
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.519
know you know me, and we
talked for an hour on the front about

127
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:13.159
this. Later anyway, I find
also by that by the pipe, the

128
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.639
waters are the grounds a little muddy
where it comes out and it quickly disapproves

129
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.720
into the ground. That's just you
know, late summer and getting dry.

130
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:26.360
But there's also a big muddy footprint
where you can see the toes because it's

131
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.360
on a little bit of the slope, pushed into the mud as it's stepped

132
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:35.000
on up the hill. Yes,
that's racing, and thank you, and

133
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.720
I take photos of all that stuff. I spend the day getting looking around,

134
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.320
and I keep looking at that meadow. I can go down and you

135
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.200
know, fifty yards from my camp
and look up into it. It's a

136
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:54.919
really big metal but I see I
call them inconclusive tracks like they're older weathered,

137
00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:00.840
but they look like and I keep
looking at the meadow. It scares

138
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.559
me. I don't want to go
up in that meadow where that thing came

139
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:09.679
down from that evening dusk, same
scenario dusk and it comes out again up

140
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:15.279
there and screams and barks. Bark
is a better term for it. It's

141
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:20.120
not feeline like a cougar bear's shirt. Don't do that. There's coyotes there.

142
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:26.000
It's not a coyote. What else
could it be? So no crashing

143
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:31.000
and banging thought, just the bark
yell and nothing else, I do sweep

144
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.159
in the back of my truck.
That night, I do get the courage

145
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.240
to get back there. Third day, I finish up art and stuff,

146
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.879
and I'm thinking I'm going to push
the envelope a little bit tonight. So

147
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.919
I go stand and sit in front
of that meadow at dusk. Maybe don't

148
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.440
catch a picture or something, you
know, who knows. But I get

149
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:52.159
scared again. I don't get scared, you know, it's I just it's

150
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:56.519
not my nature up in these sort
of places to be frightened. But this

151
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.759
spooky as hell. And over the
three days it's continued to be quiet and

152
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:07.600
weird. Definitely a feeling of being
watched, because there's slopes on either side

153
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.000
of my little camp up on the
other side and above the meadow and back

154
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.919
behind me, even a steeper slope
for the trees that I can't see up.

155
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.679
So I walked back up the road
and I go, I'll walk on

156
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:22.960
up the road past my shoe.
I'll go up the way where I found

157
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.120
that dirt print the day. And
I moved very quietly for a big guy,

158
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:31.519
lifelong outdoors, and I'm moving up
the road. It's very quiet,

159
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.639
it's not quite as dark as it
was, you know, the previous two

160
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:41.759
nights. I'm moving around Will still
a little bit light, and we catch

161
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:46.039
my breath there and start to shake
a little bit. After all this time,

162
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.399
I'm still processing all this. But
about thirty or forty feet up the

163
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.039
slope, you know, the steeper
slope to run right in the trees,

164
00:12:54.080 --> 00:13:01.799
there something bricks cover and it's big, and it's loud, and it's crashing

165
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:09.120
and it's banging. I can't see. Rocks and dirt drop down to my

166
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:13.840
feet from down through the trees,
small rocks and cobbles, just you know,

167
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.080
not very big. Just think tears
up through the trees up above me.

168
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.799
Again, I can't see anything,
and it stops. I don't know,

169
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:28.480
it can't be stopping far fifty yards
maybe forty yards. I'm guessing it

170
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.879
didn't. I mean, it wasn't
racing up the hill for very long,

171
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:37.080
so it didn't get very far up
and it stops and it screams and barks

172
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:41.360
down at me. And it's right
up there above me, and it's loud.

173
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.159
I mean, the branches and limbs
that was breaking as it tore up

174
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.039
the hill. It's big again.
It's not a cat or a bear or

175
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.000
a coyote, or a raccoon or
a turkey. It's something huge and pissed

176
00:13:54.039 --> 00:14:01.120
off, and it just screamed and
barked down at me. Stupid me.

177
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:05.039
I have my phone on me,
but I am frozen. Now you've read

178
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.519
or listened to other stories where people
either faint or they can start running like

179
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.559
crazy or any of that, right, well, stupid me, I just

180
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.320
I freeze right there. I mean, it's almost like a predatory shock sort

181
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.840
of thing where they scream and bark
at you. You've kind of stunned for

182
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.799
a moment. I don't think it
was that sort of fact, I mean

183
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.879
purposely, but I felt, you
know, shocks. I look down at

184
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.240
my truck, which is, you
know, fifty sixty yards away, So

185
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.519
I start walking slowly back down towards
that truck. I'm not running and walking

186
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.879
slowly, and that thing parallels me
up there along the ridge line, like,

187
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:45.200
you know, forty fifty yards above
me, thirty yards, and it

188
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:50.480
screams and barks at me, breaking
and snapping limbs and branches five or six

189
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.879
times, paralleling me along that ridge
while I get back down to my truck,

190
00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:01.320
and while I'm getting back to my
camp breaks and snaps stuff up there

191
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.919
for twenty or thirty minutes, and
then all goes quiet, and I'm like,

192
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.320
are you effing kidding me? What
the hell was that thing? And

193
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:15.639
I'm like, my god, I
spend the night in the front of my

194
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.919
truck again. No way, I'm
I sleeping then after my truck and in

195
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.759
fact, where I camp in other
places, I often sleep on the ground.

196
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.159
I'll like to tarp out, you
know, stop raining and the weather's

197
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.519
nice, my son and I will
just step the bag and tarp and we'll

198
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:33.039
lay on the ground. No way
I would do that in this place.

199
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.919
Next morning I leave, I have
to go down to La and do my

200
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.279
thing. Well, I'm down there
working on this project. Half of me

201
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:46.519
is well, three quarters probably thinking
about what happened. I'm trying to process

202
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:52.120
all that. It's just you know, what I told you is what happened.

203
00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:56.399
So imagine you're there trying to cross. Trying to is just crazy.

204
00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:00.840
So first of September, I'm going
to come back. I get to Seattle

205
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:04.360
Course. By this time I had
a little bit of a plan. I

206
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:10.720
bought three trail camps, and I
bought some nice vision goggles. And when

207
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:12.039
I get up to Redding, and
I'm going to buy a week's supply,

208
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:15.320
and I'm going to go out for
a week, and I'm going to have

209
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.159
an artist friend meet me for the
last couple of nights. So up on

210
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:25.000
September fourth, on a Monday,
up I go. I get up there,

211
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:29.320
I make camp and now you know, I'm not thinking about art or

212
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.039
anything. I'm thinking about this.
So I start looking for tracks. I

213
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:37.440
mean walking around shooting video of everything
I do, every little excursion out of

214
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.039
my camp, I video. I'm
finding tracks. I'm starting to take photos.

215
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.840
I keep looking at the meadow and
there's an area adjacent to the metal

216
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:51.440
that we end up turning the thicket. It's really against bush with the creek

217
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:53.799
running down, this dry creek that
now has water in it down at that

218
00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:59.679
area runs down through it. And
I keep looking into there and it's very

219
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:04.200
scared. The meadow thicket where this
thing originally came down from its real spooky.

220
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:08.200
The hell, the whole area spooky
to me. Now nothing happens except

221
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:12.200
for me taking the ticks and stuff. Very quiet, very beautiful. Nothing

222
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:18.200
that night, nothing, the next
day, me going around finding more tracks,

223
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:26.559
taking photos. On Wednesday, I
actually the hill behind me where that

224
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.839
thing was screaming and yelling at me
and paralyzing me, stalking me almost.

225
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:34.799
I grew up one of the one
of the steep trails up that way.

226
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:45.640
I'm following old tracks and with I
don't know, fifteen twenty feet of me.

227
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.200
A rock comes down from high above, flooding down through the trees.

228
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.680
And it wasn't a fine tone.
There wasn't something bouncing down from some loose

229
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.920
rock or something that was thrown at
art out up above and dropped down.

230
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:06.720
And my son told me later he
goes know what that meant? Dad?

231
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:07.920
And I go, no, what, and he goes out, turn around,

232
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:11.599
and which is what I did.
I turned around, went back down

233
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:17.480
the trail camp. So this is
Wednesday again. No yelling, no barking,

234
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:21.519
none of that. But I'm finding
tracks everywhere. Also when I can't,

235
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:26.039
I'm quiet. I have a dark
four by four, you know.

236
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.559
I parped the back in in case
it rains. Very quiet, don't slam

237
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:37.920
the door. I try to blend
in with my surroundings. Wednesday comes around

238
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:45.440
and I'm doing the same thing.
I decided to venture over towards the thicket.

239
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:49.119
Actually that might have run on Wednesday
Adventure over toward a thicket and I

240
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:55.599
actually get the balls to excuse me
to inch my way in their ways.

241
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:59.680
And it's very dry, so you're
making noise, even me, who's very

242
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:04.400
good, I'm making noise. It's
nott the branch here or whatever. As

243
00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:07.960
I inched my way in here,
something and it's on the video. Something

244
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:15.799
snaps a big branch and it's loud. It's within thirty or forty feet in

245
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.000
the bush there, which I can't
see into. It's just bush, but

246
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:26.480
it's something moved and snapped a branch. And also at this point I smell

247
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.759
a kind of a wet animal smell, not bad but not good, you

248
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.839
know that kind of thing. But
in the middle of the day, which

249
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.960
is the only way I would come
over here to the thicket, is in

250
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.240
the middle of the day. Be
a great place to hide. Is cool?

251
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:48.640
Well, like twenty minutes, we
play a cat and mouse game.

252
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.880
It moves, It's very stealthy.
It moves and stops. I hear it

253
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.839
moving. I move a little bit
and stop. I know it knows I'm

254
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.799
there, and I know you know
it knows I. I know that it's

255
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:07.400
there, and I shoot video.
The whole time and I find back out

256
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.000
of there. Nothing happens. I
just cheer the branches and the moving there

257
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:15.039
in front of me. The smell
this animal smell. Now, if it

258
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:17.960
was a deer, it probably would
have broke over and run. I don't

259
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.880
know. It might have been an
animal, but it smell like no deer.

260
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.720
Sure not going to smell a bear, mind from that distance. But

261
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:32.599
I got that too. So anyway, the next day comes, This is

262
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:34.759
Thursday. My friend's going to show
up the next day on Friday. They'll

263
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:40.559
be there for Friday and Saturday.
Thursday, go about my business. I

264
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:45.839
do more excursions to find more stuff. I actually go up through the edge

265
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:49.440
of the meadow and find big long
stride muddy trails going up into the meadow.

266
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:56.519
A lot more photos that night.
Again, I've not heard any barking.

267
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.759
You're no branch breaking, none of
that's happened so far, just you

268
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:06.599
know, me going around taking photos
of tracks. That night, laying in

269
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:12.400
the back of my get you tailgates
down. I'm laying there and I drift

270
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:15.119
off to sleep, and there's a
deep fire pitch so I can have a

271
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:22.119
good fire going. Now, this
is probably the spookiest thing that even over

272
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:27.960
the July stuff, this really spooks
the hell out of me around eleven or

273
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:34.559
twelve. You know how you hear
sometimes something going on before it sinks into

274
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:37.119
your brain that there's a noise or
something. And you wake up and you

275
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.920
hear something going on. It's kind
of taking a minute or so for to

276
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.880
wake you up. Well, I
hear I'm woken by a very shrill,

277
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:52.359
loud whistle and it's right there in
camp, across the fire from me,

278
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.119
right an edge of my fire.
I can't see it, but it's loud,

279
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:03.400
you know, the classic shrill,
real you know. I think somebody,

280
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:06.400
it might have been Meldrum described it. You know, it wouldn't been

281
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:10.400
Meldrum, might have been Green describing
it like a teenager with two fingers in

282
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:15.599
his mouth filling the whistle. And
it does it another time, and it

283
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.240
does it again. And by that
time I was asleep. I'm coming away

284
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.640
from trying to find my phone.
I get it turned on. By that

285
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.680
time that had died off. Maybe
saw me move and I don't know,

286
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.240
but it woke me up to those
whistles. Wow. And it wasn't a

287
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.440
freaking turkey at midnight, waking me
up. I mean, I don't know

288
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.480
what hell else it could be.
And by the way, I've never seen

289
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.079
anybody up there except some cal fire
people who I talked to, who also

290
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.000
told me that they were freaked out
by the place, which I found very

291
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:51.119
interesting. Anyway, I'm awake now, but I'm afraid to move. I

292
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:52.000
don't want to get in the front
of my truck. I don't want to

293
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:56.000
move, I don't want to get
out telget to the back of the truck.

294
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:02.799
But nothing else happens. I eventually
fall back to sleep. That thing

295
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:07.200
came into my camp and woke me
up. The next morning ten three from

296
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.960
my tailgate, I find a fresh
track. That thing came over and maybe

297
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:15.319
even looked in at me. I
don't know it right there in camp with

298
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:22.119
Andy shows up the next day.
He is immediately speak by the whole area.

299
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:29.640
We ended up going way up into
the meadow. We shoot a lot

300
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:34.400
of video, We find tracks,
we find more tracks, We find scat

301
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:38.880
that we don't recognize. That night, we get up the courage because I

302
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:45.000
hadn't the courage to go anywhere after
dark except right into my truck. We

303
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.839
walk around a little bit with the
night vision. We don't see anything trail

304
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.319
camps. So far, I hadn't
picked up anything. We go all over

305
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:57.960
the meadow. That next day,
on Saturday, we drive around the back

306
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:02.519
of the mountain just to take a
break it. It's a short drive.

307
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:06.559
We stop in some areas with a
drop off and a beautiful view, and

308
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:15.039
sure enough, in the hard ash
of the hillside, there our tracks.

309
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:18.720
I try to walk on that little
it's like seeing it, trying to walk

310
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:22.039
on it. I stood right back
down it and this thing it easily just

311
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.160
stepped right down through that and right
onto the road and on about his business.

312
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:30.519
So we get out and we look
around that area. Sure enough,

313
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:33.720
we front tracks all over the place
there, which I take video and photo.

314
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:37.839
We've sit up a drone to look
around and do the see a thing.

315
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:42.240
But that whole time we probably shot
eight hours of video that week.

316
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:51.160
The next day Sunday, we leave
and come back up north. And that's

317
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:59.519
my story. Yeah, that that
is incredible. I can definitely tell while

318
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:04.039
you were telling the story that you
have been through a lot, and I

319
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:10.559
don't know how you would even stick
around that area after experiencing the whistle across

320
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:17.240
the campfire from you. Well,
my friends told me about the July episodes.

321
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:21.759
They would have left immediately after the
barking, yelling, screaming, snapping.

322
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.160
But you know what, one stupidly
brave, I guess for something.

323
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:32.559
But my curiosity is what got me
need to know more, right, And

324
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:36.720
when I came back in September,
and Andy said this, he goes,

325
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.519
and Cliff also commented about this when
we had our long talk. He goes,

326
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:44.839
it remembered you, maybe because I
was finding the same tracks in September.

327
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.079
I was finding other size tracks,
but I was finding this one distinct

328
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:51.279
track that I found in that dirt
in July. I was finding you begin

329
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:56.359
in September. So that same individual
was in the area. And Cliff thinks

330
00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:02.480
it remembered me when it was probably
curious, This is according Cliffers and want

331
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:08.160
paraprated one. It remembered me in
September, curious about me, why I

332
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:12.240
would come back and I can't the
same spot and saying, you know,

333
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:18.480
everything the same, quiet, dark, everything exactly the same, He goes,

334
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.559
one. It remembered you one.
It was probably curious of why you

335
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:27.400
didn't run screaming down the road like
a normal person would have done, or

336
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:33.000
left or whatever. You stuck around, and then in September, when it

337
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:38.359
might have been watching me the whole
time, there were a couple of hunters

338
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:44.359
that had come through just scouting areas, and so there were a few more

339
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:48.880
people that week, and I saw
in July maybe it was just more wary,

340
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.799
and finally, after a few days
of me by myself, it finally

341
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:57.920
came into camp and woke me up. Cliff thinks it was trying to communicate

342
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:03.759
in a way. Maybe my friend
Andy laughingly said, maybe it's a female.

343
00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:08.960
One thing's for sure. If it
wanted to take you out, it

344
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:12.880
could have taken you out. So
I would probably agree with Cliff that it

345
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:17.200
was trying to communicate with you,
because dude, it could have taken you

346
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:22.359
out easy. It was so close. Oh yeah, sleeping truck when you

347
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:26.160
know, if it looked in the
tailgate at me. So I'm laying right

348
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:33.279
there, you could easily grabbed me. Just for classification for later. Did

349
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:40.279
you say this is in the Shasta
area between Shafts and Lawson. Sorry,

350
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:44.880
what's the second word? Again,
I'm not overly familiar with out there Mount

351
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:49.440
laughing Mount Lasson, Okay, gotcha. It's the most southern volcano with the

352
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:59.400
Cascades is easter ready, and that's
Mount Shasta. Mount Shasta is north and

353
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.599
I thought north towards Oregon. If
you go east from Reading, you'll see

354
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.960
Lawson. It's a Volcanic National Park. Actually the first national Oh yeah,

355
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:11.160
I see it last in Volcanic National
Park. Thank you for being patient with

356
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:15.880
me. I'm an Iowa guy.
So you know, God, we don't

357
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:21.920
have many volcanoes out here. Are
you very you get about a ready twenty

358
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:26.920
miles and install it's beautiful out there? Are you planning to go back at

359
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:32.839
a later time? I am,
wow? Please keep us. Actually day

360
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:37.319
when I got down to La,
producer Fan actually took me in the studio

361
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.799
and recorded me. Well, the
thing was still fresh in my mind.

362
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.880
Oh that's great, and he might
be trying to get some funding for me

363
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:48.720
to go back up. Hell yeah, I'm definitely going back up. It's

364
00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:53.960
got the curiosity bug get me not
too much. And it didn't hurt me.

365
00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:59.960
I saying it won't. I mean
I might not ever have an Internet

366
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.799
with it again. But I think
I'm going to Wow, I really age.

367
00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:10.599
I think I stumbled into a spot. I actually call it Sasquatch Sanctuary.

368
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:14.720
I think it's just a special place
that no one knows about. People

369
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:18.279
go through there, people have camped
at this place. You know, there's

370
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:25.319
to go through occasion, but no
one has experienced what I'm experiencing. Absolutely.

371
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:29.680
Thank you well, Jeff, thank
you for calling in, and please

372
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:33.920
keep us in the loop for if
anything in the future happens. And yeah,

373
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:38.359
we'll definitely check out your channel I've
got it. Looks like we've got

374
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:41.759
a few people else that have called
in, so we need to check in

375
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.279
with them. But Jeff, please, if anything else happens, contact me

376
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:49.720
directly big for Society gmail dot com
so that we can get an updated what's

377
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:55.279
happening to you? Okay, thanks, thanks for being patience for the long

378
00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:59.119
call. Oh it was incredible,
Jeff. Thank you again for sharing what's

379
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:04.559
on your heart. Have a great
night, sir, take care. Oh

380
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:15.680
that was an incredible account from Jeff. Let's go ahead and call someone back.

381
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:41.559
Let's see who we got hm.
Okay, Oh, hi is this

382
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:47.039
Jared? Yes, sir, Hey, Jared, this is Jeremiah calling you

383
00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:51.480
from big Foot Society. How's it
going good, Jeremiah? How are you

384
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:55.920
awesome? Yeah? So I got
your message. You tried to call in

385
00:30:56.160 --> 00:31:02.440
and it sounds like you have a
few encounters or things that have happened to

386
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:06.640
you. You were more than welcome
to share what you'd like to if you've

387
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:15.640
experienced some interactions with Bigfoot. Yeah, definitely. I guess it kind of

388
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:22.000
goes back to around nineteen eighty seven
thereabouts, and this was in East Texas.

389
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:32.160
I live in eastern Oklahoma now,
but I remember the first time was

390
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:37.240
I had just joined the National Guard, but I hadn't been the basic training

391
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:42.119
or any of that yet, and
I was issued a lot of equipment and

392
00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:48.200
it was perfect for camping and things
like that. So that's what I did.

393
00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:52.880
I all that equipment and told my
best friend, a let's go camping.

394
00:31:52.559 --> 00:32:01.319
That's the stuff out and we did. We went to a place outside

395
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:08.200
of Fruitvale, Texas, which back
then was a lot less crowded with cityfolk.

396
00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:15.519
It's kind of gotten like that now, but there's still some good places

397
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:22.720
where there's not many people. And
that's where we were then. So we

398
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:29.440
went and we camped out behind where
his parents were renting one hundred and sixty

399
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:37.359
acres was probably a forty acre sweet
potato field that also had the rest of

400
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:44.880
it basically woods, and then behind
that was more woods interspersed with fields,

401
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:51.640
hills, and basically wild country.
At the time, there weren't a whole

402
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:57.160
lot of deer or wild hogs,
but tons of fish in the creeks,

403
00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:00.519
and there were a lot of creeks
in that area, the main one being

404
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:07.680
Mill Creek. So we took it
upon ourselves and went out there. And

405
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:15.279
the way we used to hunt back
then and camp everything else was we didn't

406
00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:19.319
take food. If we didn't kill
something, we didn't eat, and that

407
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:27.400
was part of our I guess encouragement
to make sure that we became better hunter's,

408
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:32.799
woodsman and everything else. So we
killed birds. I'm not going to

409
00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:38.279
tell you what kind, but we
had birds, we had food. He

410
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:42.480
got a rabbit, which was unusual
for him because he wasn't that great a

411
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:51.319
shot. But anyway, we ended
up building us a fire cooking our meat,

412
00:33:52.359 --> 00:34:00.480
and he had actually brought a guitar
and about a mile hide wasn't too

413
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:04.480
bad, but he'd carry his guitar
with us, and after we ate,

414
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:09.880
he's turned the guitar saying some songs. And we were tired long day.

415
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:19.599
We went to sleep well after a
while, and we weren't totally asleep yet,

416
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:25.440
I guess. But we heard what
sounded like something being thrown into the

417
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:31.000
creek, which was probably forty yards
from us. We were slightly uphill from

418
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:38.679
it, but we could tell by
the sound that it wasn't something in the

419
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:44.920
water making the noise. It was
something being thrown into the water. And

420
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:47.599
if you've been around water and out
in the country enough, you know the

421
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:53.119
difference. And if it's a beaver, yeah, that's a big loud slap

422
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:58.440
with the tail. This wasn't any
of that. This was something being thrown

423
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:05.320
into water. And in that part
of East Texas, there's not really rocks.

424
00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:13.159
There's tons of trees, but there's
not rocks, So something being thrown

425
00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:22.320
in there was going into the water
with a big, decent sides flash.

426
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:30.639
So we listened to it and it
was maybe it's hard to say the distance,

427
00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:37.440
but it was just audible enough that
we could hear it over the fire

428
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:45.400
and it steadily got closer to us, and it's like, what in the

429
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:52.840
heck, there's nobody, no houses
in this valley area over in even though

430
00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:55.280
we're up on a little bit of
a hill. Sometimes that area floods and

431
00:35:55.280 --> 00:36:02.199
it's like there's no houses, there's
not typically anybody out there. So we're

432
00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:08.800
laying there listening and steadily the splashing
keeps coming towards us, closer and closer.

433
00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:15.239
Then we hear it and we're actually
kind of facing north the way we're

434
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:21.039
laying on this hill. Then we
hear it coming from the south. We

435
00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:30.800
didn't hear any localizations anything else.
We deter the splashes. We hear it

436
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:35.880
start coming from the south too,
and that never came to our position,

437
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:42.719
but the ones coming from the north
eventually got right by us at the creek,

438
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:46.840
which, like I said, is
about forty yards away. And we

439
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:53.599
had at the time like a four
D cell mag light, which was primo

440
00:36:53.760 --> 00:37:00.679
back in the day, and we're
signing those lights and all we can do.

441
00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:05.320
The best we can do is catch
the end of a splash, but

442
00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:10.920
it's still not the splash that a
fish or anything like that. From under

443
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:15.760
the water with me, we can't
see eye shine, We can't see anything

444
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:19.800
on the other side of the bank. Lord knows back then, those splash

445
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:25.480
lights weren't that good. We can't
see anything other than ripples in the ends

446
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:35.199
of splashes. And you know,
we were armed, and I stood up

447
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:38.239
and I'm like, hey, anybody
over there, you better stop it.

448
00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:42.800
I'm going to start shooting, which
I did not intend to shoot, but

449
00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:51.639
it's just the way we were the
mentality. But nothing happened after that.

450
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:57.719
After a little bit, it stopped
and we never heard another thing. We

451
00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:01.239
ended up going to bed. I
want to see nothing else the rest of

452
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:07.679
the night, and I wish to
God that we would have gone across the

453
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:14.079
creek the next morning and looked,
because the only thing I can guess is

454
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:22.880
maybe whoever whatever was doing it was
making mudballs and throwing those in, because

455
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:30.199
other than that, I couldn't tell
you what it was. Did you ever

456
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:37.559
go back to that area later in
life? Oh? Yeah, His parents

457
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:42.960
lived there, so you know,
we kind of in the summers, and

458
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:50.039
anytime I had off because I lived
close to Dallas, and anytime we were

459
00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:54.280
able to get together, I would
go over there and I would even back

460
00:38:54.320 --> 00:38:59.599
then, I would pay the money
to go on the bus and him and

461
00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:07.000
his parents would pick me up.
So there's a couple other stories about that

462
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:19.239
area. I was just gonna ask, Yeah, okay, there was another

463
00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:30.599
time and it was almost exactly the
same scenario and everything except for nothing happened,

464
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:36.239
and we camped in the same basic
area, not quite in the same

465
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:46.800
place. But that night I woke
up and I thought that if that trains

466
00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:57.079
lad, sorry, but I woke
up. I don't know why. I

467
00:39:57.079 --> 00:40:02.519
guess I said something or whatever,
but I saw what I thought was my

468
00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:10.840
buddy, same guy, just over
the top of the hill, go across

469
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:17.320
where the moonlight was, which wasn't
much moon but there was enough to be

470
00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:23.760
light, and then nothing. I
went back to sleep, and the next

471
00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:30.719
morning he got up before I did, and he came and told me,

472
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:37.000
Hey, look at this. And
there were a bunch of I guess like

473
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:42.079
little mole hills and things like that
around this area and on top of this

474
00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:46.880
hill. And he's like, hey, look at this footprint. And it

475
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:53.920
was probably I think he wore a
size twelve, and it was somewhere in

476
00:40:53.960 --> 00:41:00.559
the area of his size afoot,
but it wasn't his foot and it was

477
00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:07.920
much wider and broader through the width
and linked of it. I'm like,

478
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:12.440
well, yeah, wasn't that you
that woke me up last night? Did

479
00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:17.039
you go to take a leak or
what? He's like, I just now

480
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:21.039
got up to pee. I didn't
get up all night I supt good.

481
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:28.079
You know, jim Bean may have
helped that, but you know I can

482
00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:32.320
tell you, oh, well,
y'all were drinking. Well that never makes

483
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:37.480
you a loose nate, come on. So anyway, he's like, he

484
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:42.199
showed me his footprint. I went
up there, looked at it. It's

485
00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:49.320
like, well, that's kind of
weird. And I made him swear ten

486
00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:52.920
times that day that it wasn't him
that did it. And you know,

487
00:41:55.360 --> 00:41:59.000
good Christian boy, you went to
Christmas School and all that, which doesn't

488
00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:01.960
mean he was a great guy.
He's a really great guy. Anyway.

489
00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:10.400
No, that was another instance there
in that almost same spot. The next

490
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:19.000
sort of counter encounter happened just a
little bit away from that. So what

491
00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:23.320
do you think about that one?
You know, I think that it's very

492
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:30.000
interesting. I like that there is
actually a track scene. That's pretty cool

493
00:42:30.679 --> 00:42:35.760
when it is weird though, when
you have stuff thrown at you, for

494
00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:38.719
sure. You know, I've had
a tree pushed over in front of a

495
00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:43.320
campsite we're at before, and that
stuff, I mean, that stuff can

496
00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:46.840
really get you. When you start
to see a footprint like you guys did,

497
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:54.280
that's pretty cool. Yeah, And
as far as stuffing stone at us.

498
00:42:54.320 --> 00:43:00.079
It never was as far as we
knew, but it was stolen in

499
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:05.440
the creek, coming towards us from
a decent you know, little ways away,

500
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:10.480
and dad just doesn't make sense,
you know, as far as I

501
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:17.880
know about Bigfoot and the way that
they act, sometimes it's just weird that

502
00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:25.360
noise kept coming towards us from let
me guess, from the valley. Like

503
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:31.639
I said, it's hard to tell
how far away, but it was probably

504
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:39.800
twenty minutes and let me just guess
an eighth of a mile away. I

505
00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:44.360
could be off. I don't know, but it was weird hearing it far

506
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:51.800
to us at the time, away
like that, and then coming towards us,

507
00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:58.400
and then hearing it from the south
behind us. You know, what

508
00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:05.599
else does that? A lot of
these things are what could it be?

509
00:44:06.039 --> 00:44:12.880
Well, it's easier to say sometimes
what is it? Not? How many

510
00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:17.400
people would know that we were out
there doing a camping thing when there's hardly

511
00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:24.800
any people out there anyway? You
know, so many questions, And again

512
00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:30.480
as the rabbit hole, it really
is, you know, it's a rabbit

513
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:35.320
hole. You find, you know, a place, and the stuff starts

514
00:44:35.320 --> 00:44:37.119
to happen, and then I mean, you can just keep going and going,

515
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:45.880
but do you think you might ever
go back someday? Well, that's

516
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:55.679
probably yeah. You know that's I
live in Oklahoma Ozarks now, and that's

517
00:44:57.159 --> 00:45:01.199
you know, that has a couple
of different things related to Bigfoot for me

518
00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:09.719
now. And I'm not saying I've
seen a whole lot. I've probably seen,

519
00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:23.840
for for sure three times in my
life a sasquatch. And this is

520
00:45:24.199 --> 00:45:31.480
East Texas, East Oklahoma, And
actually I can narrow that down to too,

521
00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:37.719
but some of the other weird things
that have happened really don't coincide with

522
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:45.480
anything else. So if I can
move on to the next one for East

523
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:52.440
Texas, there in that same area. Okay, this was in that same

524
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:58.079
area, on the other side of
the road that cuts into that valley,

525
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:07.679
and same guy, me and my
best friend we were had gone deer hunting,

526
00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:10.119
and back then there weren't a whole
lot of deer in that area,

527
00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:15.320
but we deer hunting anyway. It's
the only place we had to go,

528
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:23.000
so we were on the other solid
road I guess someone else's property, But

529
00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:28.840
you know, that's kind of the
way we did things back then. Younger

530
00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:34.880
guys and my apologies for doing the
wrong thing, but we were over there.

531
00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:40.320
We'd gone deer hunting on the other
side, didn't see anything. We

532
00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:44.920
got board, still wanted to go
hunting, so we went to the other

533
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:50.440
sidid road and it was a little
bit higher elevation, and this was a

534
00:46:50.480 --> 00:47:00.960
lot more thickly wooded. And I
had had some success with colle in hyots

535
00:47:01.719 --> 00:47:07.880
and the occasional bobcat that we hadn't
got a shot at yet, but I

536
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:14.159
was pretty good on the right to
call, so we decided to do that.

537
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:19.679
We went to the spot, picked
out kind of a clearing in the

538
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:24.679
woods that wasn't that big. Maybe
if you looked at it from above.

539
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:36.280
It was probably twenty yards around more
or less. Not a good description,

540
00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:43.440
but you get the idea. He
was on one one side of that little

541
00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:45.880
clearing. I was on the other. Both of us had our backs against

542
00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:52.639
a decent sized tree which is maybe
foot and a half across, so it

543
00:47:52.719 --> 00:48:00.440
covered us from behind and we could
see each other and around each other towards

544
00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:07.639
the front and back, and I
started blowing down the predator car and I

545
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:13.159
blew fairly that at first, you
know, as you're supposed to do,

546
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:22.400
and did that for about thirty seconds, wait a little bit. We're both

547
00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:29.599
kind of being real still but looking
around with our eyes. Don't hear,

548
00:48:29.719 --> 00:48:36.360
don't see anything. So I started
doing it again. It's a predator call,

549
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:44.960
not as I this time, in
case anything's sneaking up it. For

550
00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:52.639
about maybe a minute, this time
I stopped. We're both looking around,

551
00:48:54.079 --> 00:49:00.840
same situation as before, don't really
see anything. I go to blow the

552
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:07.639
on the pread or call the third
time. Right as I'm bringing it up,

553
00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:20.599
I hear this loud brigading start and
I'm like, oh, and I

554
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:24.119
know my eyes got huge. I
looked over at my best shirt and sitting

555
00:49:24.199 --> 00:49:30.719
over there against the other tree,
like fifteen feet away. I'm like with

556
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:37.639
my thumb and my rifle's laying across
my chest or my sighs. I'm leaning

557
00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:46.480
against the bottom of the tree so
my hands where I can move it without

558
00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:57.920
anything behind me seeing it. So
I start pointing with my thumb from my

559
00:49:57.960 --> 00:50:01.360
best friend to look behind me because
something is right there, because it's suddenly

560
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:08.800
breathing loud, and he's like his
eyes are big too, which I didn't

561
00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:16.079
even notice at first because I was
like shocked, and I guess I made

562
00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:22.000
the first move because he is like
shaking his head kind of slow but enough

563
00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:25.360
that I can pick it up.
And then he lifts his thumb up and

564
00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:31.639
he's trying to point back behind him, so I start looking behind him.

565
00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:37.840
I'm like, I shake my head
at him. No, and I put

566
00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:43.920
my thumb back behind me a little
bit quicker this time. No, it's

567
00:50:44.039 --> 00:50:52.159
behind me, and he's like shaking
his head. At this point, we

568
00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:55.039
both start shaking our heads and pointing
behind us. And we did not hear

569
00:50:55.079 --> 00:51:00.719
anything come up on us. We
did not see anything. And this is

570
00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:07.840
in late fall, leaves all over
the place. We did not see or

571
00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:17.159
hear anything other than that breathing.
And within probably thirty seconds, it just

572
00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:23.800
kind of went away. It didn't
stop suddenly. It just kind of like

573
00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:34.079
goes to the way. I don't
know how else to say it. Some

574
00:51:34.360 --> 00:51:39.079
very strange things that you've encountered over
the years. For sure, I met

575
00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:46.280
at a and I'm trying to remember
what year it was. I couldn't even

576
00:51:46.280 --> 00:51:53.559
tell you there was a group there
probably still is GCBR Gulf Coast big for

577
00:51:53.679 --> 00:52:00.519
the research and organizations I got you, yeah, and I they had their

578
00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:08.519
first ever conference. I guess down
somewhere just north of Houston. Me and

579
00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:12.880
my best friend, actually I was
living in the South Texas at time.

580
00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:16.920
We both were able to make it
there. And I talked to their founder,

581
00:52:17.039 --> 00:52:22.519
Bobby Hamilton, and I told him
about that, about the breathing,

582
00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:30.840
and he said that he had experienced
the same thing, except it was in

583
00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:38.639
a pitch black night and he walked
out side of their deer hunting cabin to

584
00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:44.119
go to the out house and he
heard the same thing, but he had

585
00:52:44.119 --> 00:52:50.079
that flashlight and he's like, I
was terrified to turn that light on because

586
00:52:50.119 --> 00:52:53.960
I knew that thing was right there
next to me. But he said when

587
00:52:53.960 --> 00:53:00.960
he turned the light on, there
was nothing. He spun around quick and

588
00:53:01.079 --> 00:53:06.280
he didn't see anything. But he
said that breathing was that close to him

589
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:14.639
that he knew he was either dead
or he was about the crap. And

590
00:53:14.840 --> 00:53:19.519
I don't know credibility these people or
anything like that, but I do know

591
00:53:19.599 --> 00:53:24.639
this is what happened way before I
had ever known about the Internet or any

592
00:53:24.639 --> 00:53:30.360
of this stuff other than you know, of course here in big fliot story,

593
00:53:30.440 --> 00:53:38.920
isn't it, kid? Jared,
thank you for calling in and sharing

594
00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:44.400
some interesting things that have happened to
you over the years. It sounds like

595
00:53:44.960 --> 00:53:50.679
you probably might have some others to
share in the future. I would invite

596
00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:53.440
you to do so again if you
feel like doing so at a later time.

597
00:53:53.519 --> 00:53:58.920
But thank you for calling in tonight. Yeah, I appreciate it.

598
00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:01.079
I just wanted to take a few
minutes to say thank you to you all

in the late nineteen seventies, or
talk to Kevin or Clifford with the IBIIC,

I would love to talk to you. Please reach out and to share

If you've got anything else you'd like to

00:55:01.440 --> 00:55:06.480
share from the mouth shast area,
I'm not going to decline that either.
