14
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:43.880
We got the privilege of talking to John today. John

15
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:47.119
is a BFRO investigator from the great state of Washington,

16
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.159
and I reach out to him after I tracked him

17
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:54.119
down from seeing his name and a BFRO report. And

18
00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:57.079
that's a sneaky thing I do, but sometimes it works. John,

19
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:58.759
Thank you for being on the show tonight.

20
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.320
Not a problem. Thank you so much for having me Jeremiah,

21
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:03.960
and I don't mind you tracking me down. You're not

22
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.040
the first person to do it through the BFR Report website.

23
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.120
Absolutely, you're going to share a few really cool things

24
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.040
that have happened to you over the years, and can't

25
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.480
wait to hear some really cool stuff that have happened

26
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:19.439
on the BFRO expeditions, and maybe some other things as well.

27
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.079
We'll see. But John, I'm going to go ahead and

28
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.159
let you take over from here, take us back to

29
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.959
the beginning whatever happened first, and we'll chat along the way.

30
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.760
So, hey, not a problem. So I had an interest

31
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.359
in Bigfoot from working as a young person. I saw

32
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.400
the Mysterious Monster movie that came out. My sister took

33
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.040
me to that, and then I put that on the shelf.

34
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.640
And then later on in life, in my late twenties,

35
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:46.359
I was working at the warehouse with a couple of

36
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.519
guys and they went down on an expedition in Oregon

37
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.159
with Peter Burn and they rekindled the interest in Bigfoot

38
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:55.079
while they were talking about it. After they came back,

39
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:58.239
so checked out the internet. The internet was a new

40
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:01.840
thing in the late nineties, and so I found the

41
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.719
DFROL website and actually offered expeditions, and I thought, man,

42
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.560
that's really cool. So in two thousand and six, I

43
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.000
signed up for my first expedition. It was east of

44
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.360
Mount Rainier, so I signed up for that one. It

45
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:18.520
was in August of that year, pretty hot, and it

46
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:22.479
was a great location, and so I just I got

47
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.960
there a day early. The expeditions usually run Thursday through Sunday,

48
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.960
and I got there on a Wednesday, and I met

49
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:33.960
some great people, met Moneymaker was up there, and just

50
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.840
fell in love with all the stuff that's going on.

51
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.159
And so one of the things that happened on that expedition,

52
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.159
and like I mentioned to your earlier, a lot of

53
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:47.360
things after the newbies on these expeditions. So I was

54
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.879
we were out night walking one night and it was late,

55
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.599
it was about one or two in the morning or so,

56
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:56.479
and we had it was hot, so we're sweaty, and

57
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.919
we're tired, and we're dusty a little bit. Myself and

58
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.240
a couple other people came back to camp and I

59
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.000
was camped in this little tent. It was back in

60
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:08.960
the woods next to a toe of a mountain. We

61
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.759
were right next to a mountain and I was butt tired,

62
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.280
so I climbed into my little tent. I got into

63
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.360
my sleeping bag. You're in your underwear there. It's hot.

64
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.400
You're just laying there, and I'm just really tired, and

65
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:22.680
I'm laying there and I'm trying not to sweat, but

66
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.560
you're gonna do it anyway. And I'm laying I've been

67
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.919
laying there for about twenty minutes, and it's really quiet

68
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:33.680
out there. It's very peaceful, and all of a sudden,

69
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:39.159
I hear footsteps, bipedal footsteps coming up to my tent.

70
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.479
You know, there's a little plants and bushes on the

71
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:47.000
ground and everything. He was stomp. It's not stomp, it's

72
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.599
maybe I can tell it's bipal. You tell it's walking slow.

73
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.400
And I didn't look out because I don't have a

74
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.319
screen on the tent that I can see out of

75
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.080
or anything. And I'm laying there and I'm really tired,

76
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.479
and I hear this thing up towards my tent and

77
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.560
I think it's one of the campus to say hello,

78
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:09.120
who is it? And the footsteps stop, and so I'm

79
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.759
just laying there. I'm tired, and I'm just like, well,

80
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:14.599
what is this person doing? Then all of a sudden,

81
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.240
after about not all of a sudden, but after thirty seconds,

82
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:22.160
it starts walking even closer and it's not heavy, the

83
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:24.439
ground is not shaking or anything. I'm just hearing this

84
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.480
and it gets up to about even with my head

85
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:29.279
on the side of the tent. I go, okay, who's

86
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:34.759
out there? And it stops again. I don't hear any breathing,

87
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.439
I don't hear it doing anything. After another thirty seconds,

88
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.439
it starts walking up past my tent, you know, And

89
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.680
I said, hey, who is it? And it stops about

90
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.079
the end of my tent. I'm like, I should get up.

91
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.800
I should unsit this thing and crawl out there and

92
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.639
shine a flashlight on this thing and see who it is,

93
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.160
because they're bugging the heck out of me and I

94
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.120
don't know what it is, that's right, And then I go,

95
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:01.959
I'm sitting here in my underwear, so that's probably not cool.

96
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.360
I don't want to scare anybody like that, so I

97
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.519
let it go. Then I hear this thing walk off,

98
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:10.040
and it just walks off down towards my friend Scott

99
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.720
Taylor's camp. He's going to be a Farro investigator. Great guy.

100
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.160
We happen to be on the very first expedition together,

101
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.199
and so that was it. It walks down towards Scott

102
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:24.519
camp and Scott's camp, and the next day I asked him,

103
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.480
I has, hey, does something walk around your tent? And

104
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.240
he didn't say anything. He didn't hear anything right like that.

105
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.480
But we did wake up and we did find some

106
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:39.879
footprints coming out of the woods, a swamp area, but

107
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:41.519
the tob of mountain, there's a creek down there, but

108
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:47.680
there's that swampy area, but it's coming out of that area,

109
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.680
and it's walking down a dirt road, an offshoot of

110
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.759
the main road, and we find these nine inch footprints

111
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.279
and they come out of the forest and what do

112
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:01.839
you know, they walk right up to my tent and

113
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.639
they walk by my tent and they go past my tent.

114
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.800
Obviously I didn't see what happened or who it was,

115
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.279
but we're thinking, you know, a little sasquatch came out

116
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:16.040
of the woods and walked up to my tent. And

117
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.560
I keep kicking myself for not getting out there trying

118
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.439
to flashlight on it. But I was told, oh, we

119
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.040
don't want to do that, we don't want to scare them.

120
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.920
Shame on me. But that's the first expedition I went on.

121
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.800
And then at the end of the expedition, so it

122
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:33.759
was a Saturday night, so Scott and I decided to

123
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:37.560
backpack in towards the mountain. It's not too far, but

124
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:39.680
you got a bushwalk in there. So we packed up

125
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.879
in the last Saturday night. We got in there and

126
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.680
we slept out on the ground and we were hoping

127
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.639
something would happen, but nothing happened during the night. And

128
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:50.839
as we were all packed up in the morning on

129
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.920
Sunday morning, we're about to walk out, we hear this knock,

130
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.720
big power knock, about seventy five yards away towards towards

131
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.800
the mountain. And of course, now, being an experienced investigator,

132
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:04.199
you're going to walk towards that. You're going to go

133
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.720
see what it is. But for some reason, Scott and

134
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:08.439
I looked at each other and went, oh, that was cool.

135
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.079
Being newbies were oh, and we just hiked back out.

136
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:14.560
We just didn't do a thing with it. And so

137
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.160
keep kicking myself for not going through there and seeing

138
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.120
what was making that and all that kind of stuff.

139
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.879
But that's the very first expedition I went on. So

140
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.600
after that experience, I was hooked. So that was the

141
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.519
first experience. I didn't see a sasquatch. I don't I

142
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:35.480
can't confirm it was a sasquatch, but being positional evidence

143
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.199
like that, you got the footprints coming out of the

144
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.600
woods and all the sounds by my tent and everything.

145
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:42.800
Pretty sure we had a juvenile walking around there.

146
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.959
Logically that makes sense because what else is going to

147
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:50.079
walk out of the woods like that with their feet?

148
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:55.360
Yeah? Yeah, but that was cool. Yeah, that's the first

149
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.560
one there. That's the cool one, well one of the

150
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:02.519
cool ones. But do have another one, and it is

151
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.839
this is a good one. So two years later, two

152
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:08.399
thousand and eight, I was on another BFRO expedition in

153
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.680
the same area, not the same campsite, but in the

154
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.800
same area, and this is a good one. So we

155
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.240
had a bunch of people on this expedition too. I

156
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.399
have we do disperse camping, so we don't use regular

157
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:25.480
campgrounds or anything like that. And I got my car

158
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.879
up this old jinky logging road up into the area

159
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:30.519
we're camping at and I got my car up there,

160
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.039
which is amazing because I barely get my truck up

161
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:36.039
there now. But I'm camped up and the campsite is

162
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.240
spread out probably about two three acres in total, but

163
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:40.480
it's in the woods, it's in the middle of the

164
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.600
woods with old roads going around in the trees and

165
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:46.320
everything like that. And you come into the camp off

166
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.080
the main road. You get up in there and it's

167
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:53.240
a flat area, and then towards the north there's a

168
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:56.399
berm that kind of runs along one side of the campground,

169
00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:58.840
and on the other side of the berm there's a

170
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:00.679
kind of a swampy area and stuff like that. But

171
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.240
there's trees growing all over everything, all over the flat

172
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.080
place and the berm and everything. You just find a

173
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.840
spot in between everything to camping, which is what I did.

174
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.159
I had a tent set up, a little table and

175
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.320
chair and stuff like that. So I've got a chair

176
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.399
to sit on and table to cook on and all

177
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.159
that kind of business. And so two of the guests,

178
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.960
or before the guests, actually there was two gentlemen and

179
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.120
their twelve year old sons. So there was a father

180
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:25.840
and son and their friends and so they had the

181
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:29.799
two kids and they had their bikes with them. So

182
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:34.120
these twelve year olds are they get there and they

183
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.919
set up camp and there I'm on top of the berm,

184
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.399
and they're about fifty yards away for me down the

185
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.120
berm lower. So I'm on top of the berm. They're

186
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.039
down lower on the berm, about fifty yards away. I

187
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:48.879
can't see them because there's a bunch of trees in

188
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:50.960
the way. It's not too bad, but you can't really see.

189
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.720
So that's the camping situation. And all through these days

190
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.840
the kids are out riding their bikes and they're just

191
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.399
chearing it up and it's fun. They're out on the

192
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:05.600
roads and everything. And now is a bfur O investigator

193
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.679
and a little more experience. The kids are great for

194
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:10.960
attracting sasquatches. They really just cut loose. They don't care.

195
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.799
They're laughing, they're screaming, they're all that stuff, and obviously

196
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.159
we think the sasquatches are interested in that. They think

197
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:21.120
it's pretty cool. So these kids are out riding their

198
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:27.440
bikes and everything, and it's really neat, and so they're out.

199
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:31.919
It's Friday night and I'm sitting in camp. We got

200
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:33.679
a fire going. I'd been out in the last couple

201
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.320
of nights messing around. I was tired. So I'm sitting

202
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:40.799
at camp around the fire and my friend Dale Southwick

203
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.480
is sitting next to me, and Dale has got a

204
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:49.960
When you have first generation Russian night vision binocular. So

205
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.080
he's got a set of binoculars that are Russian. They've

206
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.279
got night vision on it and it's got infrared assist

207
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.279
on it. And so I'm sitting next to day at

208
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.399
the campfire. And so the boys and their fathers go

209
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.919
out on a night walk and they're out there and

210
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.679
they come back about eleven PM. And it's dark by then.

211
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:11.320
No moon is really out. You've got some starlight you

212
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.159
can see, but it's not that great. So it's dark.

213
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:19.519
The moon isn't up yet. And the kids come back

214
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.799
and the fathers and they go back to their own

215
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:25.360
camping area and they've got a little picnic table set up,

216
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.879
and they've got up on the berm. They've got a

217
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.519
latrine up there with a tarp around it, and they

218
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.720
have a couple they have a pickup truck that's towing

219
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:36.759
a trailer, and then they've got another car and they're

220
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:38.759
parked around in their camp. And then they've got a

221
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:40.720
tent that they sleep in and everything like that. So

222
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.879
that's their camp. And they were down at the bottom

223
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.080
of the berm, which burm's about twenty feet high. It's

224
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.519
a sloping berm and it's easy to walk up. It's

225
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.320
not too bad, but it's got trees growing on and

226
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:51.919
on the sides and on the top of a little bit.

227
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:54.840
It's not thick, but there are trees all over the place.

228
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:58.279
And so these guys are camped over there, and about oh,

229
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:02.000
I don't know, about eleven thirty twelve, I decided to

230
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.840
go back to my camp and I passed. I don't

231
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:07.919
go through their camp, but I passed by their camp

232
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:09.679
to get to mind and it's about fifty or sixty

233
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.440
yards away. I'm sitting up there, and so I just

234
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:17.279
go joining my sit in my chair and get something

235
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:20.320
to drink, and I've got a walkie talking young. I've

236
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.679
got the ear piece in so you can't hear anything.

237
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.360
As we were told, an you'll try and be as

238
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:27.320
quiet as possible, all that kind of stuff. And so

239
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:29.799
actually before then, I need to go back a little bit.

240
00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:31.279
And we're sitting around the fire and we hear the

241
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.159
group coming back and they're radio wing and hey, we're

242
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:37.039
coming back, and we've got a couple of barred owls

243
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.519
following us. That's weird. Bard owls or any owl just

244
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:44.080
doesn't follow people. And we'd we ask them, what do

245
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.639
you mean, And they said, there's one on one side

246
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.879
of the road and it hoots and the one on

247
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:51.039
the other side of the road answers back, and it's

248
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.799
been doing that for the last half mile. Now, these

249
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.120
two howls have been following us for the last half mile.

250
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.080
That immediately piques our interest because owls don't follow people.

251
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.440
They start coming up there road into camp and they

252
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:03.840
get close to camp and you can hear these bard owls.

253
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:06.639
You know, how bart owl is going to go? No,

254
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:09.279
who cooks for you? What was funny is one bart

255
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:14.480
owl would call and we'ld go, and then you hear

256
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:17.000
what we now know is samurai chatter at the end

257
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:20.440
of it. So it's a willy'll will go up and

258
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.039
then the one on the other side of the road

259
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:29.120
would answer, go. So we're thinking, those are the weirdest

260
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:33.240
barred owls we've ever heard. That's not a normal barred

261
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.840
owl call, and so that's kind of interesting. And they

262
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:41.240
stopped calling back and forth, oh, probably about thirty yards

263
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.600
before the group arrived back in camp. So that's weird.

264
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:47.440
That's really weird. But you know, I could get back

265
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.480
to camp, nothing's going on, So I went I decide

266
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:51.720
to go back to camp. And so I'm sitting there.

267
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.600
I'm back at camp now, and I'm just in the

268
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:57.320
chair and I'm just listening to the walkie talks. It's warm,

269
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:00.720
and so all of a sudden, we hear over the

270
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.399
walkie talking one of the fathers going, hey, we help

271
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.360
over here, and the leader, I think it was Kevin

272
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.120
Jones at the time, he just calls them, what do

273
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.679
you need and he goes, hey, we got some little creatures,

274
00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:16.080
a little sasquatches run around our cars and they're looking

275
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.519
at us from behind the cars, and we're going, oh, cool,

276
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.919
that's that's what we want. So Kevin's really cool and

277
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.600
he goes like, you, where are you, what are you doing?

278
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.559
Why do you need help? He goes, We're sitting in

279
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:32.360
the middle of our picnic table with a lantern. We're scared,

280
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:34.679
and we're watching these things run around our cars. They're

281
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.480
peeking out looking at us, and we'll describe to us.

282
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:39.440
I'm are about three feet tall. They just peek out

283
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.399
and they look at us. And so I'm listening to

284
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.080
this and I'm going, this is really cool. And they're

285
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.519
giving us a play by play over the walkie talkie

286
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:51.600
down there, and so I'm sitting there listening to this man.

287
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:55.320
This is awesome. And this went on for about a

288
00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:58.480
half hour or so and Kevin just say, just sit tight.

289
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:00.360
This is why you're here, this is why you come

290
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:04.120
on these expeditions to experience this. And they're trying to

291
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.559
remain calm, but they've got two twelve year old boys

292
00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:08.320
that are getting freaked out. And they're freaked out. You

293
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:12.000
can hear it in the voice, but they say, oh yeah.

294
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.840
And then there's one that's looking over the tarp for

295
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:18.080
the latri at Us. It's up. They got tarp's about

296
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.480
seven feet tall and this thing's looking over at them.

297
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:23.679
So this thing's got to be taller than that. And

298
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:27.919
so they're being watched by the little ones and the

299
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.519
bigger ones, which we assume are their parents or something,

300
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:34.240
are watching these little ones. Take a look at these boys.

301
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.480
Big for Society will be right back after these messages.

302
00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:55.519
These are the boys they've seen riding their bikes down

303
00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:59.879
the dirt roads for three days so far, and they're interested.

304
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.120
So evidently the Bigfoot parents brought these little guys in

305
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.960
to kind of watch these boys, and so that's what's

306
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:08.919
going on. So they can't. They brought their little ones

307
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.039
around their camp and they're letting them run around and

308
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:12.799
take a look at these boys. And so it went

309
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:17.879
off for about a half hour, and then finally somebody said, oh,

310
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.559
we think they're gone. That's cool, but today say, oh, no,

311
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:24.960
they're back again. So there's a lull in that, but

312
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:28.440
then they started again. And I'm sitting there and I've

313
00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:30.279
got up out of my chair by this time. I'm

314
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.679
looking over towards their camp. I can't see anything. If

315
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:34.240
you want to stand and you look at that direction,

316
00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:38.000
see if something happens. But I'm standing there and I

317
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:41.320
look down the burn to my catty cord to my left,

318
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.879
and I see about thirty yards away or so I see.

319
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.080
I know there's trees there, but you can't see them

320
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:54.159
because it's dark. And I see a set of eyes

321
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:58.600
that's orangish yellow, lean out as if someone's leaning out

322
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.879
from behind a tree and explant a little bit, and

323
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.920
they're orangish yellow, and they're about five or six feet

324
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:08.920
off the ground. And then right below them, I see

325
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.799
a set of green eyes lean out and look at me,

326
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:14.119
and they're about two and a half three feet off

327
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:17.039
the ground, and they lean out and they look for

328
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:19.160
about two seconds, and then they go back and I

329
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:21.759
can't see them anymore. I don't see the eyes anymore,

330
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.960
and I thought, man, that's weird. Something's over there. I thought,

331
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:27.960
maybe it's a squatch. I've been told they have different

332
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:30.480
color eyes and stuff like that. I said, that's really cool.

333
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:35.720
And then about a minute later, about ten yards closer,

334
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:38.799
the same thing happens. It's a set of eyes. It's

335
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:41.880
orangish yellow, leans out about six feet off the ground,

336
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.880
and then the little green set leans out and looks

337
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.079
at me about three feet off the ground. And then

338
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:50.000
they look at me for about two seconds, and they

339
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:53.559
go back and I lose sight of them. And then

340
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.000
I wait another but so I'm intrigued. I'm looking over there.

341
00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:59.359
This time, another thirty seconds go by, and they're ten

342
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.000
yards close. The same thing happens. The oranges yellow eyes

343
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:05.519
look out about six feet off the ground, and little

344
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:07.960
green eyes look out at me about three feet off

345
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.000
the ground. I said, man, that's really cool. I think

346
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:13.359
there's a sasquatch. But I can't really see any definition

347
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:15.839
of the body or anything like that. I don't know.

348
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:17.960
You can't tell I can't prove it a sasquatch. But

349
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.759
then again, what does that? That's cool? And I didn't

350
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:24.000
see the eyes after that. They must have went back

351
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:26.640
or something and they started. I was thinking, I can't

352
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:29.880
see him anymore. And then but you know, about four

353
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:32.920
minutes later, they go back and do the same thing.

354
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.240
Now they're ten yards back from before, and the yellow

355
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:39.599
eyes yellow orange eyes peak out, and the green eyes

356
00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:41.799
peak out down below, and they go back behind a

357
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.319
tree I'm assuming, and they walk back. Now a minute

358
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.720
later they're ten yards behind and the yellow eyes peak out,

359
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:50.440
and then the green and ice peak out, and then

360
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:53.279
they go back down the burn the same way. I thought, man,

361
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:55.960
that's really cool. They came in doing that and they

362
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.880
left the same way, and I'm go, man, that was

363
00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:03.319
really weird. I'm just now I'm excited. So I'm standing there,

364
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:05.960
and about five minutes later, I'm standing there, and where

365
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:09.240
I'm standing it's there's a dirt road in there, and

366
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:10.720
on the other side of the dirt road from me,

367
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:14.680
it dips down a ways and it goes up towards

368
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:17.039
the camp where the boys are. It slopes down a

369
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:19.319
little bit from the road. It's not a drastic slope,

370
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.920
and it dips down and I'm standing there and all

371
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:25.839
of a sudden, up from the other side of the road,

372
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.319
this big shadow comes up, this big dark shadow, and

373
00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:33.200
then these two huge red glowing eyes just up here,

374
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.200
coming up, and it looks at me, and I go

375
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:39.400
and I just stood there. My mouth is open. I go,

376
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:42.960
Holy crap, what is this thing? And this thing is big,

377
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:46.960
and I can see it's shadow. It's dark, but it's

378
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:49.680
a different dark then what's out there. It's darker than

379
00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:52.680
the normal surroundings. This thing is dark, and it's got

380
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:57.599
two big, huge red glowing eyes on the top of

381
00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:01.440
whatever it is. And it is standing there looking at me,

382
00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:04.880
and it's maybe thirty feet for me, maybe thirty feet

383
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:08.079
and I'm just standing I don't know what to do,

384
00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:12.119
and I'm looking at this thing and it looks at

385
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:16.720
me and for a night one Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi.

386
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.920
And then it turns and it walks down the road

387
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:21.960
away from me, the little sand road we has. It

388
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:24.200
was going to go where I was, and it saw

389
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:25.960
me and I was in its way, and it just

390
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:28.720
oh crap, And it turns and walks down the road

391
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:32.640
and I'm standing there, going what did I just see

392
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.519
this sucker was huge, and it walks down the road

393
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:39.400
and I call one of the guys that's down there

394
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:42.240
camping through, and I go, hey, this big thing with

395
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:44.319
glowing red eyes just came up on the road and

396
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:46.200
looked at me. And now it's coming down to your place.

397
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:48.680
You guys might not take a look and see if

398
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.920
you can see it. And so I don't know if

399
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:54.400
they saw it or not. I think they were in

400
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:58.440
their tan or something like that, but man, that was

401
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:01.480
really cool. And so the next I told everybody over

402
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:03.799
the walking Talk and say, hey, man, you never believe this.

403
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:08.039
What happened? Oh that's cool, that's cool. And so the

404
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:10.400
next morning, these expeditions, we always have a meeting in

405
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:13.519
the morning or later in the morning, and everybody says, hey,

406
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:16.079
what happened last night, And so obviously the kids and

407
00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:19.319
their dads were explaining what was going on. I was like, oh, man,

408
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:22.880
that's really cool, that's awesome. And then they asked me

409
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:25.519
what happened to say, Hey, this huge thing came looking

410
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:27.799
at me and it is what it is, and these

411
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:29.440
big red eyes looked at me. And then I walked

412
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.559
down the road and I had gone that morning before

413
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:35.319
I went to the group meeting, I tried to figure

414
00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:37.480
out how tall it was. And there was a branch

415
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.640
hanging down from one of the trees that I saw

416
00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:42.400
that the eyes were next to, and I went and

417
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:45.119
measured that and the branch was nine and a half

418
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:48.559
feet off the ground. So these eyes were nine and

419
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:50.440
a half feet off the ground. So that thing's probably

420
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:53.799
a ten foot That was a big dude, And so

421
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.079
I explained this that wow, man, that's really cool. And

422
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.279
my friend the Dale with the night Vision Binocracy, he says, man,

423
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:02.440
I'm gonna sit with you in your campground or your

424
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:04.960
camp site tonight and we're going to see if the

425
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:07.599
same thing happens, because that's really cool. So we had

426
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:09.880
the boys go ride their bikes again out there and

427
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:12.119
see if we can do there retreat the same thing

428
00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:16.359
that night. So last night, Saturday night, and so they

429
00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:18.759
did that. So they're out riding around and all that

430
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.759
good stuff. And then they come back and they went

431
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:25.000
on a night walking stuff and I wasn't at the

432
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:27.119
campfire here and come in. I don't know if the

433
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:29.920
bard owls were hooting at them or the supposed bart

434
00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:32.720
owls were hooting at them. They were really loud, and

435
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:35.599
think bart owls don't do samurai chatter at the end

436
00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:38.920
of their call, So call it what you will. I

437
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:41.440
don't think it was a bart owl. And so I'm

438
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:43.839
sitting there in my campground. Dale comes up and he's

439
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:46.839
sitting next to me, and it's about the same time.

440
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:50.279
It's about eleven thirty ishu or whatever it is. And

441
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:54.400
we're sitting there and what do you know. Down the

442
00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:59.440
burm about thirty yards, here come these yellowish orange eyes

443
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:01.920
peeking out from behind the tree at about six feet.

444
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:06.000
And here come the little green eyes peeking out same direction,

445
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:10.039
about three feet tall. And I go, yeah, they're back,

446
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:11.359
and he goes, is this is what happened to you

447
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:14.680
last night? And go exactly and he goes, cool, we're

448
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:17.920
going to look at them through the night vision with

449
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:19.880
infrared assist. We'll see if we can see them through

450
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:25.079
these pedoculars. Okay, cool, that's awesome. So they come again

451
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:28.000
about a thirty seconds layer they're closer about ten yards.

452
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:30.559
Here come the orangesh yellow eyes peeking out from behind

453
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:32.559
the tree about six feet. Here come the little green

454
00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:34.480
ones poking out about three feet and he goes, okay,

455
00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:37.799
I got him I can see him through the night vision,

456
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:41.519
but I'm gonna hit the infrared assist. Here we go.

457
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:43.319
I go cool, this is going to be great. We're

458
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:45.200
going to see these things and all that kind of stuff.

459
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:49.640
The second that Dale hits that infrared assist button on

460
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:55.599
all those night vision binoculars, everything takes off. We heard

461
00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:59.000
five creatures. These two creatures we were looking at. They

462
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:00.759
went down the burn to as a swamp. You can

463
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:02.480
hear them run on and they're heavy boom. We heard

464
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:05.839
two there. We also heard two on the other side

465
00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:08.279
of us in the camp and there was one north

466
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:12.920
of us. And we heard five creatures just run, literally run,

467
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:17.160
stomping as they go, shaking the ground. Run out of

468
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:21.200
our campsite, just run out of our campsite. Anyone of

469
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:23.920
these creatures are around, you can tell the air is electric.

470
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:27.240
You feel that feeling there and you just know something's

471
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:30.599
around there. Around the second we hit that infrared assist,

472
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:34.480
all these creatures took off. You could hear them, you

473
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:38.599
could feel in the ground they're stomping, I mean, and

474
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:40.319
they ran and they took up and it was like

475
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:42.720
that electricity that was in the air when they were around.

476
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:46.640
It's like a bubble burst. It's like these things just

477
00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:50.920
left and you knew they were not coming back. You

478
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:56.119
knew it. And that's how we think. Can't prove it obviously,

479
00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:59.640
but we think the creatures can see in the infrared,

480
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:05.160
and so that's why we think a lot of game

481
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:08.079
cameras they use the infrared. Those you don't really get

482
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:09.720
a lot of them on game cameras. I know that

483
00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:13.000
we have game camera pictures of them and some people

484
00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:15.279
do and all that kind of stuff, But that just

485
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.519
told us that, hey, they might see this infrared stuff.

486
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:22.160
And you can put out trio cameras all you want,

487
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:24.319
but if they're using infrared, I think these things can

488
00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:26.960
see it and they avoid it because they don't want

489
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.839
to be seen. And so that's the second story. That's

490
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:32.680
the biggie right there. That's the cool one.

491
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:35.640
But that is something else. So yeah, I got some questions.

492
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:38.720
So is that the first time that people realized, hey,

493
00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:42.000
this they can probably see infrared.

494
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:45.279
I just told them what I saw. We have a

495
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:48.000
blue form on there, and I got criticized. There is

496
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:50.759
no way you can see glowing red eyes because the

497
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:55.039
moon wasn't out, there's no backlight. These suckers glowed. All

498
00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:58.119
three of them. They glowed And no, they don't do that.

499
00:25:58.200 --> 00:25:59.960
And I'm like, hey, I'm just reporting what I saw.

500
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.640
I don't know. Nobody's a big foot expert, So I

501
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:05.119
don't care what you've been doing. You're not a big

502
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:06.680
foot expert. I don't care if you've been on TV

503
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:08.720
or how many expeditions you've been on. You're not an expert.

504
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:12.799
But no, that's just what it is. And we just

505
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:16.319
we try these experiments and stuff. But we never got

506
00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:18.720
at least I know if I never had the opportunity

507
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:22.839
again to try that out. But that was some interesting

508
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:25.880
Hopefully that's data. That's good data. But all I can

509
00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:29.079
say is that's what we observed. The second that infrared

510
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:33.680
assist was hit. These things knew it and they left.

511
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:35.000
They took off.

512
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:39.200
To break down. Maybe for listeners that are not really

513
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:42.319
aware about what infrared assists. So was that a thing

514
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:44.960
where you press the button and then it's shooting out

515
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.079
infrared and they're like, oh, yes, someone's here.

516
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:54.319
Yeah, yeah, the normal night vision stuff. It just amplifies

517
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:57.400
the light that's around you. It uses a little bit

518
00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:01.000
of infrared, but not a lot. The INFRAREDUS is supposed

519
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:05.319
to help you just light up the area. It's you

520
00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:07.480
can't see it, your naked eye can't see it. But

521
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:12.160
the night vision binoculars would amplify that light, turning into

522
00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:15.680
something that you can see to use as light to

523
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:19.200
see what's out there. So it's an amplification. It's not

524
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:22.960
an amplification of the existing light. It's adding infrared light

525
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:26.359
that helps you illuminate the area. So it wasn't the

526
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:29.720
night vision binoculars. Those were fine. The second that infrared

527
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:32.680
assist button was hit and it shoots all that infrared

528
00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:37.119
light out there, they took off. They left. So that's

529
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:40.880
why we think that they might be able to see

530
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:44.839
in the infrared spectrum, and that's why maybe the trail

531
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:46.799
cams don't work if they use that technology.

532
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:50.440
Logically, it does make sense. Are there other things that

533
00:27:50.599 --> 00:27:55.920
you guys are aware of that also shoot out infrared

534
00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:00.000
or something that's similar. I've heard people will say be careful.

535
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.440
Lot of iPhones with face ID on them, they can

536
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:06.240
shoot stuff out. Or are there any thoughts about that?

537
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:10.799
No, we haven't really investing. I haven't investing. Oh god,

538
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:13.319
I don't know anybody that has or anything like that.

539
00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:17.160
So no, this is just the infrared on there. I

540
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:19.559
don't have any information on the rest of that stuff

541
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:20.519
or anything like that.

542
00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:26.119
Gotcha question the juveniles running around the cars, that is

543
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:29.359
just that is a fascinating part of the story. Was

544
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:31.480
there any follow up around the area to see if

545
00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:34.480
there were tracks around the cars or any other evidence

546
00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:36.680
that was able to be gathered afterwards?

547
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.240
Oh? Yes, there the heart the soil was really hard packed.

548
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:44.880
It's really hard packed. It was dry. There's nothing out

549
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:47.519
that You've got the pine straw that's fallen down there.

550
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:51.960
You got a little bit of you know, bush's low

551
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:55.119
hanging vegetation on the ground. Not a lot of footprints,

552
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:58.400
just a lot of scuff marks, a lot of scuff marks.

553
00:28:58.440 --> 00:29:00.759
We did take a footprint on the top of the

554
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:03.160
berm that we think was left by the big one

555
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:06.440
that was watching over the latrine. We got a footprint

556
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:10.599
out of that didn't turn out all that great because

557
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:12.799
again pinestrauls all over the place to ground this hard

558
00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:15.279
and stuff. We got scuff marks. And I went to

559
00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:18.640
the area where the big one that I saw walk

560
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:22.039
down the road and I found scuff marks, but I

561
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:25.559
didn't find any footprints there. I found one later over

562
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:27.720
Dale's camp, which was down the burn from me. I

563
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:30.519
found a nice, big old footprint right in the middle

564
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.599
of the duft and everything pretty cool. But as far

565
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:36.599
as scuff marks, no, we did get a slight hand

566
00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:39.240
drag since it was pretty dusty there. The cars had

567
00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:41.519
dust on them. We did see some kind of fingerprint

568
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:44.400
type things on the car where you would think a

569
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.960
small three foot juvenile would put his hand by looking

570
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:49.839
around the corner, you know, on the fender or something.

571
00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:54.200
But we got just it's basically, you know, the dusty

572
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:57.799
drag marks. No dermal ridges or anything like that. But

573
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:00.720
we did get some stuff on the cars a little bit,

574
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:02.680
but nothing definitive.

575
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:05.519
Big for society will be right back. After these messages,

576
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:24.960
it sounds like they weren't able to take any video

577
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:27.599
of them as they were running around. They were probably

578
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:29.319
just freaking out by that land.

579
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:34.759
No, yeah, you would be too fast. They're not expecting

580
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:36.440
this to happen there. Hey, we're just gonna grow up

581
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:38.279
with the big footers and have some fun and knuck

582
00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:40.920
it up and see that nothing happens. But no, this

583
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:45.640
is before everybody had high phones and cameras and all

584
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:48.079
that kind of stuff. So even if they had one.

585
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:50.240
I think they're a little bit too scared to drag

586
00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:52.039
one out anyway, because they said they're sitting in the

587
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:54.519
middle of their picnic table with a lantern. They're all

588
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:56.720
to be huddled together on the top of it, so

589
00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:00.920
I don't think that they would have pulled anything out

590
00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:03.920
to view them with that. And the two dads are

591
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:06.519
being protective of their two sons. Two dads, two sons.

592
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:09.759
You got to protect your young one. Everybody understands, ask,

593
00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:12.079
but no, there's not a lot of evidence gather except

594
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:14.079
from one footprint we cast it. I saw it didn't

595
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:16.839
look that great, but it's but it was a very

596
00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:20.079
cool experience, and so we can't Those guys that came

597
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:22.759
into our group, we camped a few times with them

598
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:25.759
again and they're good dudes, and we still keep track

599
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:26.599
of them to this day.

600
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:30.759
I don't get a lot where people hear stuff that

601
00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:34.920
sounds like this Sierra sounds so that is pretty cool

602
00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:37.119
to hear that. Is it a thing where you guys

603
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:38.640
have ever been able to capture that?

604
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:42.119
Oh yeah, yeah, some people haven't. I don't. Personally, I

605
00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:44.599
don't put out a lot of audio anymore because putting

606
00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:46.200
out audio means you got to listen to it for

607
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:47.880
almost the same length of time, and I don't have

608
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:50.200
the patience to do that. Yeah, but yeah, that was

609
00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:54.279
we heard it. It was really funny. And we're sitting

610
00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:55.880
around the fire, We're hearing this. Who cooks for you?

611
00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:59.799
And we just looked at each other, go, that ain't

612
00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:03.400
no owl that and it was loud too. That is

613
00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:06.200
the biggest bart owl with a frog in his throat

614
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:08.640
that we've ever heard. And so another one would answer it,

615
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:11.799
there's two big loud bard owls with throat problems out there,

616
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:16.359
or it's not a barn owl. Can you can guess

617
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:19.000
what it is. We didn't see anything, but what we

618
00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:21.960
heard really didn't strike us at a bar. It sounded

619
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:23.920
like something that was trying to act like a barn

620
00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:27.160
owl or sound like a barn owl, but in our opinion,

621
00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:28.799
it wasn't doing a very good job of it.

622
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:33.000
And this place sounds like it is pretty pretty out

623
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:33.680
in the boonies.

624
00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:36.920
Sounds like pretty much. Yeah, it's it's on a lot

625
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:39.160
of logging roads. Yep. Wow.

626
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:42.559
Yeah, I mean, what an experience to be involved with that.

627
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:48.039
Those those newbies definitely were a trial by fire for sure,

628
00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:50.599
But thank you for sharing that. Yeah, feel free to

629
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:53.680
continue with anything else you've experienced.

630
00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:57.599
Last one this is about I think it's twenty nineteen

631
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:00.720
or so, and I live in a Washington state. I

632
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:03.920
live north of Everett, Washington, and I go my research

633
00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:07.400
area and where I do my investigations. It's mainly the

634
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.960
Mountain Loop Highway which runs from Grantite Falls to Darringtonant's

635
00:33:11.079 --> 00:33:13.920
closed during the winter but open during the summer and

636
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:16.799
spring whenever they get it open. And then also highway

637
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:21.519
to which is Stevens Pass. It's one of those highways

638
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:23.359
that goes through the cascades over there. It goes out

639
00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:27.319
of Monroe and over the Stevens Pass and comes down

640
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:30.200
through some other areas in there. You can get to

641
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:32.759
win atch you and all that kind of stuff through it.

642
00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:37.000
But anyway, my son, my oldest son, who he's twenty

643
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:40.519
six now, back in about I think it's about twenty nineteen.

644
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:42.680
He and I and one of my friends from work,

645
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:44.799
we just want to go out squatching. And he said,

646
00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:46.359
where are we going to go out squatch? We tried

647
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:50.440
to go somewhere it wasn't open. We went out highway too,

648
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:53.240
and we're trying to go down this one road that

649
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:56.279
we know has had watch activity that passed and they

650
00:33:56.599 --> 00:33:58.440
had some recordings down there and all that. And then

651
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:00.960
we went up by Index. We tried to go down

652
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:02.720
this one road, but it was closed, and so we're

653
00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:07.200
just drive around. It's dark, it's late. It's about probably

654
00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:11.719
eleven PM. So it's we're down there, oh, September October

655
00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:15.039
twenty nineteen, and we're just trying around. We went around

656
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:16.840
for a place to squatch. You know what. My friend's

657
00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:19.400
got a bad leg. I'm getting older and I don't

658
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:22.079
like running around anymore. So we're just looking for a

659
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:24.519
place to go squatch. We got you know, we didn't

660
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:26.559
have any thermal cameras at the time. We're just going out.

661
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:29.480
So we went up this one loggie road off Highway too.

662
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:33.360
And we get up the road and we up there

663
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:35.280
about two or three miles or so, and it's out

664
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:37.559
in the forest and everything's dark and stuff, and it's

665
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:40.880
right by a creek. And we get up there in

666
00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:43.039
the roads block there's a wash out. The road's been

667
00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:46.159
washed out. Oh. We turn around a little bit, like

668
00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:48.159
before you get to the wash out, there's a big

669
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:51.440
wide spot in the road, big circular spot evidently the

670
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.480
road's been washed out for while. Its where people go up,

671
00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:56.480
they turn around, or they camp out there. Nobody's up there.

672
00:34:56.480 --> 00:34:58.440
So we just thought we'd pull over and get out

673
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:00.559
some chairs. And we're not doing any and we're just

674
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:02.320
we just pull out the chairs and we're just sitting around.

675
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:08.960
We're missing around. And I had some whale sounds, some

676
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:13.880
Native American flute music and Native American drum music on

677
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:17.039
my phone, and I have a Bluetooth speaker with me

678
00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:19.559
and it's connected to the phone, and I thought, hey,

679
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:23.320
in the past, people have played this kind of stuff,

680
00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:25.719
whale sounds and drum sounds and flute sounds, and they

681
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:28.480
said sometimes I'm bring the sundsquatches in. I say, hey,

682
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:30.559
you mind if I play those? My son and my

683
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:34.599
friend go ahead, no problem. So we get there and

684
00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:37.599
we're playing these sounds. That's going it's going good. So

685
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:39.920
we played the flute sounds and then I played the

686
00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:42.400
drum sounds. I played each for about twenty minutes or so,

687
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:47.440
and then I get to the whale sounds and we're

688
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:52.840
playing these whale sounds and we're going on stuff, and

689
00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:56.159
I know it's getting late. I want to go back home.

690
00:35:56.840 --> 00:36:00.559
And so I get up and we're sitting about twenty

691
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:02.559
yards away from my pickup truck. We're just in the

692
00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:04.119
flat spot. We're out in the middle of the opening.

693
00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:08.320
We're out in the trees or anything. And I just

694
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:09.679
get up. I go over to the truck. I put

695
00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:11.840
the speaker on top. I'm down, I've turned off the music,

696
00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:14.960
and I go up there to the truck, and all

697
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:16.920
of a sudden, I'm there for about thirty six All

698
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:20.199
of a sudden, my friend and my son run up

699
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:23.039
to me and go, we need to go. What do

700
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:24.599
you mean we need to go? I said, no, after

701
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:28.400
you left, something is run down the road towards us.

702
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:31.239
Stomp stomp, stomp, stomp. Stop is run down the road.

703
00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:34.000
You could feel it shaken. And it's now over there

704
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:36.760
behind those trees. We need to go. And I'm thinking

705
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:39.440
to myself, what in a second, this is why we're here.

706
00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:41.840
What do you mean we gotta go? We're not going

707
00:36:41.880 --> 00:36:47.519
anywhere and safety first. I don't care anymore. These things

708
00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:49.320
can squish me. I'm gonna stand my ground. It doesn't

709
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:53.599
matter to me. But you know, my son and my

710
00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:56.719
friend were now freaked out because now something is big.

711
00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:58.960
It is run down the road and now it's behind

712
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:04.320
a tree about ten yards behind them, and they didn't

713
00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:08.760
really want to be there, and so reluctantly I, well,

714
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:11.880
don't we just get in the truck and sit. Okay fine,

715
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:13.880
I open up the truck. They get in the truck

716
00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:15.679
and they're still freaked out. We sat there for about

717
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:18.280
thirty seconds, and they go, can we go? Can we go?

718
00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:21.480
They don't want any part of this because they know

719
00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:23.360
something big is over there. Just ran down the road

720
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:26.239
and the chairs are still out there, and I said,

721
00:37:26.239 --> 00:37:29.639
wait a second, I'm not leaving my chairs out there,

722
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:31.280
and they're like, no, can we just go? We'll come

723
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:34.559
back get them later. I go, no, I'm taking my chairs.

724
00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:36.559
I'm a cheap guy and I want to buy new chairs.

725
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:40.119
And so I go walking over there and I'm not

726
00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:43.960
seeing anything. I'm not hearing anything, I'm not smelling anything,

727
00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:48.039
and I just go take my time. There's those tube chairs.

728
00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:50.239
You fold them up, put them in a tube, and

729
00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:52.039
so I'm just putting them away and I opened the

730
00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:53.480
back of the truck. I throw them in there, and

731
00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:56.400
they're just like, come on, we gotta go. We gotta go.

732
00:37:57.000 --> 00:37:59.519
Okay fine, And so we drive away.

733
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:03.679
What is your product? No, dad, I said, dad, it

734
00:38:03.800 --> 00:38:06.519
just came it literally, man down that road. We could

735
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:10.280
feel it shaken and it came running down the road

736
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:13.199
and they thought, man, it's big. I said, you guys,

737
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:14.960
that's why we go on these things.

738
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:18.000
And I know you get more courage the farther you

739
00:38:18.039 --> 00:38:20.559
get away from the enemy or the danger. They're all

740
00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:25.440
pretty big and tough. We just picked a random spot

741
00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:28.079
and we got out there and we played that music

742
00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:33.079
and something happened. And then we get back and he goes, hey,

743
00:38:33.079 --> 00:38:35.519
when we first got there, it was just it made

744
00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:37.000
him in a little earlier than that, when it was

745
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:38.880
slightly light up, and say, hey, we got out that

746
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:41.199
truck and I went over to the side of the

747
00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:43.960
road to take a look that, you know, see what's

748
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:44.360
out there.

749
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:46.239
And the stick came flying out of the woods and

750
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:48.480
landing in front of me, and I go, why didn't

751
00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:52.400
you tell me? He goes, I didn't think it was important.

752
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:55.119
I said, what, I didn't think it was important? He goes, Yeah,

753
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:58.000
I thought I saw a shadow walking back in there, too. Great,

754
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.440
it would have been nice to know, but still you

755
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:01.800
knew something was out there, you know.

756
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:03.440
That's why we game, and then you want to run

757
00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:05.880
away as soon as we get some action. He's like, yeah,

758
00:39:05.920 --> 00:39:09.480
I know, I'm sorry, but you see there's reports. You

759
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:11.119
read the reports or hear the reports. A lot of

760
00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:14.719
times people driving along at night they pull off to

761
00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:17.719
the side of the road to use the restroom or

762
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:20.880
whatever for no prayer reason. No, nothing's set up, nobody

763
00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:23.000
knows they're gonna be They pull off, and all of

764
00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:26.000
a sudden they got a sasquatch either looking at them

765
00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:29.079
or throwing stuff at them, or making noise or something

766
00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:32.960
just randomly, Like how, that's just bizarre. What are the

767
00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:35.119
chances of that? And that's what happened to us. I've

768
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:36.920
always thought that was just kind of like, oh, yeah,

769
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:38.719
you pulled up the side of the road and a

770
00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:42.039
sasquatch just happened to be there. Yeah, But then it

771
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:44.599
happens to me we just weren't planning on being there.

772
00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:47.039
Nobody's up there, the road's closed, no reason for anybody

773
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:49.840
be up there. We show up, we sit down, Something

774
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:52.199
throws a stick at my friend. He sees something walking

775
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:55.599
back there, doesn't tell me, and then later on something

776
00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:59.239
comes running down the road at us. It's like, just bizarre.

777
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:02.480
Just what are the chances of that just showing up

778
00:40:03.679 --> 00:40:06.800
not planned to be there, and you get sasquatch activity.

779
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:09.400
But then you go on these expeditions or you're planned

780
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:11.639
to go squatching or something, or you're all set up

781
00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:14.679
and nothing happens. But that's my last story. That's all

782
00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:16.440
I got for you in just go Where's what this

783
00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:16.960
happened to me?

784
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:20.679
That last one. I'm I don't think I've ever really

785
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:26.559
heard anyone say about playing whale sounds. That is pretty cool.

786
00:40:26.599 --> 00:40:30.159
So these just basic whale sounds or yeah, you.

787
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:32.519
Know, you know, you just you did blast them out.

788
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:37.360
But it's different. Okay, they might have heard flutes, they

789
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:42.039
might have heard drums, but whale sounds. And we played

790
00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:44.559
that on expeditions before and got something going on. So

791
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:47.440
I never did it before, and so I did it,

792
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:50.039
and what do you know, it's just something different. Do

793
00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:52.679
they Maybe it's communicating with them. I don't know. I

794
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:55.039
doubt it, but it's definitely different. Did scare away some

795
00:40:55.119 --> 00:40:57.199
campers one time by playing that? I camp down the

796
00:40:57.280 --> 00:40:59.679
road from them, and they were out there and stuff,

797
00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:02.679
and I got in my camping spot and I started

798
00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:05.199
playing that weird stuff, and boy, they were out of

799
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:10.159
there in about five minutes. Really, I don't know what, Yeah, yeah,

800
00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:14.079
you know, sorry, but well it just kind of funny.

801
00:41:14.280 --> 00:41:17.880
That's really funny. I love those stories though, Like that

802
00:41:18.039 --> 00:41:21.800
last one. It's like stuff just sometimes happens when you

803
00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:24.480
put down a chair and just hang out for a

804
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:26.599
while on a spot and you never know.

805
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:30.000
It was bizarre, And we went back the next night.

806
00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:33.639
We went back the next night. Nothing of course, we'd

807
00:41:33.679 --> 00:41:37.039
planned it. We planned to be there, so nothing was

808
00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:40.079
going to happen. But just interesting. I just just the

809
00:41:41.679 --> 00:41:44.920
chance that would happen, that's just great. So I give

810
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:47.559
perfect credence to those people who say, yeah, I was

811
00:41:48.159 --> 00:41:50.519
driving all night, had a lot of coffee and had

812
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:53.880
to pull over and let some of it out, and

813
00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:56.719
there was a something growling at me and shook my

814
00:41:56.760 --> 00:41:58.679
car and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah, I

815
00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:01.880
get it, but that's weird. What sasquatch you doing? Are

816
00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:03.599
they waiting for an uber by the side of the road,

817
00:42:03.639 --> 00:42:06.800
What are they doing out there? But exactly, you hear

818
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:08.760
that a lot. You hear it a lot.

819
00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:13.840
John I Swanse, thank you for coming on to share

820
00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:16.800
what you've experienced. Before we end our time, do you

821
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:20.480
have any advice for listeners that are like, I might

822
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:23.920
want to try this Bigfoot expedition thing out.

823
00:42:26.679 --> 00:42:30.000
Go I did it. Stuff happens to newbies all the

824
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:32.239
time down here in Washington. I used to co host

825
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:36.079
expeditions with my friend Kirk Brandenburg. We don't I'm getting

826
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:37.760
too old. I'm not going to do this anymore. We

827
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:41.360
have some great new investigators out here in Washington State.

828
00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:45.519
We've got Nick Bell, James Washburn, Tim Lyn Alan, Melissa Martinson,

829
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:48.199
Scott Taylor. They're all running expeditions for us. They did

830
00:42:48.239 --> 00:42:51.280
a great job this year. They'll do a great job

831
00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:53.840
next year. I think there's one already out there. But

832
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:57.480
just come on an expedition. Just come. You can talk squatch.

833
00:42:58.360 --> 00:43:01.719
When I do my investigations, mainly talking to people, you

834
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:03.960
just want to let them tell their story and they

835
00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:06.039
just want to talk to someone who won't think they're

836
00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:09.400
crazy exactly. And so you don't need the next you

837
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:13.039
don't need an experience to come on a BFRO expedition.

838
00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:14.800
You got to be able to camp, bring your stuff

839
00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:19.000
to Washington State. We've got the most sightings out here

840
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:23.199
in the United States. So the Olympic Expedition or Great

841
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:27.400
the Cascades are great. We've got some great people who

842
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:31.119
are running these things. And I was actually one of

843
00:43:31.159 --> 00:43:34.840
the co hosts on the expedition in twenty twenty three

844
00:43:34.920 --> 00:43:37.760
out with the Olympic Project. I know he had Jonathan's

845
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:40.239
coll in and talk to you about his experiences out there.

846
00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:41.239
So I was out there too.

847
00:43:41.320 --> 00:43:46.039
That was with great stuff. Ye yeah, yep, okay, that's cool.

848
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:48.960
Yeah, that was fun stuff. That was fun stuff there.

849
00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:51.159
But yeah, just come on. An expedition doesn't have to

850
00:43:51.159 --> 00:43:53.920
be in Washington State. You can go on them anywhere.

851
00:43:53.960 --> 00:43:56.199
But we don't learnally have a lot of people flying in.

852
00:43:56.280 --> 00:43:58.760
We get people coming in from all over the country

853
00:43:58.760 --> 00:44:01.280
coming in. Want to go is oh another story. So

854
00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:04.559
they were out on a night walk and they were

855
00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:07.679
down in one of the places late at night, and

856
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:10.239
we had a thermal drone in the air, and we

857
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:12.800
had the thermal drone over him. The canopy is really

858
00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:15.920
thick where we were, but yet we saw the group

859
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:20.679
and then maybe about thirty thirty five forty yards away

860
00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:25.559
from we saw these two huge big heat signatures, round

861
00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:27.920
heat signatures. The camera wasn't that great, but we could

862
00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:31.559
see him. They're going back and forth side to side

863
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:33.480
looking through It looked like they were looking through the

864
00:44:33.519 --> 00:44:35.199
trees trying to look at these people because one of

865
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:38.239
one was walking around. One of the people was walking around,

866
00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:40.920
and these things were looking They're moving back and forth

867
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:43.159
and can and watching this thing. But there were these

868
00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:46.960
two huge heat signatures watching what we know to be

869
00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:50.519
about six or seven people who look very small compared

870
00:44:50.519 --> 00:44:52.920
to these heat signatures. So we think we got a

871
00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:55.679
couple of squatches on camera doing it. It's in the

872
00:44:55.719 --> 00:44:58.400
same area where the year before we had some squatches

873
00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:00.800
on the thermal but we weren't recording at the same time,

874
00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:03.119
so there's some crazy stuff that was happening in that area.

875
00:45:03.119 --> 00:45:06.960
But I've seen two big, huge heat signatures watching a

876
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:09.920
group of people that were a lot smaller than those

877
00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:13.119
two heat signatures. So that's cool.

878
00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:16.480
That is wild stuff. I love talking to you guys,

879
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:18.800
and people can go to as a bfro dot net

880
00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:21.400
if they want to get more info about the expeditions.

881
00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:24.480
Right, Yeah, there's a list of expeditions on there. They're

882
00:45:24.519 --> 00:45:27.960
just starting. They normally they normally come on about January

883
00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:31.239
February because Matt wants to get as many expeditions on

884
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:34.239
the docket lined up as soon as possible, but personal

885
00:45:34.280 --> 00:45:36.320
schedules we got to figure out when we have time

886
00:45:36.360 --> 00:45:37.760
to do it, and not because they are our other

887
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:39.880
investigators are running them out. I don't do too much

888
00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:42.159
with that anymore. I do show up, but I don't

889
00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:45.920
run them. But yeah, just go to the BFRO website.

890
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:48.360
I know some people I have issues with the BFO.

891
00:45:48.519 --> 00:45:51.159
I get it. That's fine, but we're not all Matt Moneymaker,

892
00:45:51.159 --> 00:45:53.039
And be honest, Matt money Maker is great guy. I

893
00:45:53.119 --> 00:45:55.599
have no problems with that money Maker and with the

894
00:45:55.639 --> 00:45:57.719
rest of the BFRO investigators I met and that I

895
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:01.679
worked with. So come on out, join us have some fun. Obviously,

896
00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:04.440
we can't guarantee any sasquatch activity. We don't have them

897
00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:06.159
on speed down, we can't tell them where to show

898
00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:10.360
up coordinate with them. But we take you to spots

899
00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:13.519
where we've had a lot of activity, and we want

900
00:46:13.559 --> 00:46:16.880
to show you where we go to sasquatch to watch

901
00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:19.280
sasquatch or listen or whatever we do. And there's a

902
00:46:19.320 --> 00:46:21.239
really good chance when you come out with the Washington

903
00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:25.280
BFRORO that you'll either hear one or find a track

904
00:46:25.679 --> 00:46:26.599
or maybe see one.

905
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:31.199
Oh absolutely, man, it was a pleasure chatting with you.

906
00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:31.519
John.

907
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:34.360
I'm glad we're able to get connected, and thank you

908
00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:37.679
for sharing some really cool things that happened to the

909
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:40.000
BFRO in Washington over the years.

910
00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:43.239
Oh, it's my pleasure. Jeremiah, it's nice to make your acquaintance,

912
00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:48.800
At big for Society, our goal is to provide a

913
00:46:48.920 --> 00:46:53.039
platform for those that have encountered Bigfoot to share their

914
00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:56.960
encounter and a safe and respected environment. But we need

915
00:46:57.000 --> 00:47:00.480
to hear your story. If you've experienced something that you

916
00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:05.599
just can't explain, please send me an email at Bigfoot

917
00:47:05.639 --> 00:47:09.719

919
00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:18.079
encounter at all. It's been twenty years and it's time

920
00:47:18.159 --> 00:47:20.800
