I've taken far too much of your time

9
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:44.840
so far, so let's get on
with the show, all right, Big

10
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:50.079
for Society, Welcome back to another
episode of Tales from the Comments, and

11
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:54.359
we've got some crazy ones to go
over today, a week's worth. I'm

12
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:59.799
also going to throw some letters in
there, some emails that really flesh out

13
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.120
episodes that you've just heard on the
podcast. This happens every time I release

14
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.120
an episode and then people send in
crazy follow up stuff from the same area.

15
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.760
You're not gonna want to miss this
episode, so let's go ahead and

16
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:23.519
get I always like to put in
some interesting encouraging comments I get. Sometimes

17
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.560
I get some of those. This
is from Emily. I hope I'm pronouncing

18
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.680
your name right. Shout out from
a Swedish subscriber. Love this channel and

19
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:36.200
listening to everyone's encounters. I imagine
most of us watching are just trying to

20
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.599
understand what we've experienced ourselves. Looking
forward to more episodes. Keep it up.

21
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:45.040
Thank you so much. I just
want to point out that Emily is

22
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:51.599
also a YouTube channel member. I
can see that by the cool little mark

23
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:55.959
she has or the mark by that
this user has by their name, and

24
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.040
thank you so much for supporting the
channel. By becoming YouTube channel member,

25
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:06.680
you get to have episodes early and
at free. I really appreciate it.

26
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:12.879
Let's move on to the next.
Another one that I get a lot of,

27
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.560
an episode that people love to comment
on is a four year standoff with

28
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:23.280
Sasquatch and Rainer, Oregon. It's
an incredibly popular episode. I believe we're

29
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.000
over one hundred thousand views on it
now, and if you're not subscribed to

30
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:34.919
this, you need to stay tuned
because there could be more information coming across

31
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.599
your fingers on this one. Big
Foot Society. We'll see but there could

32
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:45.479
be a few comments from this episode. In this tales from the comments sid,

33
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.719
user Sid comments, I would live
just a few miles from that property.

34
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.680
I doubt the squatches are still around, and I've seen no sign of

35
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:59.240
them in the woods here. I
doubt there's enough for them to heat eat

36
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.879
here anymore. That's an interesting viewpoint. You look on the map, it

37
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.080
looks like there's plenty of woods,
but there's also a few houses. And

38
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:15.120
I'd be curious listeners if you think
there could be still sasquatch in the area

39
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.639
where a four year standoff with sasquatch
and we're near Oregon takes place. To

40
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.759
do me a favor. Listen to
the episode if you haven't already, and

41
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.479
then take a look over on Google
Maps, do some research. Let me

42
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:36.479
know in the comments if you think
there could be sasquatch still there. Here's

43
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:43.199
an interesting one. This is from
the terrifying story of a hunter found mangled

44
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:49.520
below this tree, one of our
more popular ones on Big Fust Society.

45
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.520
People always like to comment on this
one as well. User Michael says I

46
00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.039
lived in Alacua County, Florida and
heard stories of the swamp ape from my

47
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:04.639
sister's boyfriend's stepdad, and he was
a big dude, over six feet,

48
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:10.080
big old guy who did construction,
and it scared him. There was a

49
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:14.479
few limestone quarries out there that were
near his house and thick woods me personally

50
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.079
haven't had well seen. I've caught
a whiff of them going swimming in the

51
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:23.399
quarries with friends. It spooked me, but at the same time super curious.

52
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:30.480
That's interesting. At the time that
you're hearing this, we have just

53
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:35.079
heard a very interesting encounter with a
swamp ape down in South Florida a few

54
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:40.720
days ago. But if you've also
run into the swamp ape down in Florida,

55
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.560
I'd love to hear about it.
Go ahead and put your swamp ape

56
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:51.480
in your swamp ape encounter stories on
the comments for this episode. I know

57
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:57.759
there's a ton out there and we
really haven't gotten a lot here a big

58
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:04.600
Foot Society yet. Moving on,
here's an interesting one and this is one

59
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.920
of those ones where I would love
to hear more. So friend, reach

60
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:15.079
out to me Bigfoot Society at gmail
dot com. User stick says yep heard

61
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:20.199
them sounds last night. Now here's
the trick. If you remember this episode

62
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:27.639
that The comment is on Bigfoot Encounters
in Tennessee with Elijah Henderson. You'll remember,

63
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:33.800
excuse me what Elijah is talking about, and he's talking about some recordings

64
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:41.160
that he made where it sounds like
a bigfoot is almost doing donkey brain sounds

65
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:45.680
where there's no donkeys in the area. It's an incredible episode. If you've

66
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:47.319
not heard this one, you need
to go back and listen to it.

67
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:54.319
But user stick, if you've heard
sounds like the sounds in that episode,

68
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.240
please reach out to me Bigfoot Society
at gmail dot com. I would love

69
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:12.160
to hear more about what you've experienced. We've got a long one coming up

70
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:17.879
here. And this is from the
last hidden big Foot tails from the YouTube

71
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:24.600
comments number one. Let me make
this a little bit bigger so I can

72
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:32.120
read it. Here we go,
User Hensley's Rights. I heard about an

73
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:38.879
incident from somewhere down near the Big
South Park the Big South Fork National Park,

74
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:44.120
Kentucky side of the BSF short version. This guy went hunting down there.

75
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.199
I guess he sat out down there
somewhere about all day and did some

76
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.759
scouting around, but he finally headed
back to his pickup and while at his

77
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:56.199
truck, standing beside it. He
had looked up on a cliff on top

78
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.000
of the cliff and he saw,
well, this is what the professionals gathered.

79
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.600
Anyways, he saw bigfoot standing at
the top of this cliff looking his

80
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.720
way. Well, I guess the
guys started to get in his truck and

81
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.759
leave. But then he got the
bright idea to take a shot at the

82
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:15.040
big foot, and evidently he hit
the thing pretty good and it fell off

83
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.120
the cliff. Well before he could
get very far from his truck to look

84
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:24.920
for it, he started hearing these
growls and howls and tree breaking, just

85
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:29.639
all kinds of noises from all around
him. And the noises kept getting closer

86
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.480
to him, so he turned and
made a dash for his truck. He

87
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.639
had the door open, just about
to climb in, and whatever grabbed him

88
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:43.199
pulled him out. But whenever what
was finished with him, they folded his

89
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.399
legs back on him put him back
in his truck. The heels of both

90
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.240
feet were touching the back of his
head. Anyways, like I said,

91
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:55.120
whoever found him called the authorities,
and they were the ones who gathered what

92
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.680
happened to him. Besides, there
were barefoot tracks all sizes around his truck.

93
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.079
That's a pretty intense story. If
anyone has more information about that,

94
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:11.160
if you've heard it on another program, or you know about the actual tale,

95
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.079
you heard the person who originally told
it, or maybe you saw it

96
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.480
in a newspaper. I would love
to hear more. This is a pretty

97
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.639
intense story, So go ahead,
please put that in the comments, or

98
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:28.199
if you don't feel comfortable, you
can always send me a Bigfoot Society email.

99
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:37.039
Send me an email big for Society
at gmail dot com. Here's a

100
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.200
comment. This will be a fun
one to address. We were chased out

101
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:46.720
of the Iowa Woods by four Bigfoot
user says the commercials were agonizing to listen

102
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.720
to. I hear your friend,
here's the thing, and I'm going to

103
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:56.120
soapbox for a minute. Yeah,
some of these do have a lot of

104
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.759
commercials in them, and this is
the commercials and as are the only way

105
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:07.919
that I am able to take this
podcast full time, which is going which

106
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:13.879
is the goal, right and I'm
getting closer technique, I'm about halfway to

107
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.720
the goal of going full time right
now. If I didn't have ads in

108
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:26.840
my YouTube channel, that would not
be a possibility at all. So if

109
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.440
you would like to hear Bigfoot Society
without ads. There's two ways to do

110
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:37.039
it. You can go to the
YouTube channel and you can join the YouTube

111
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:45.000
channel and get episodes early and ad
free. Or you can go to patreon

112
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:50.559
dot com for slash the big Foot
Society and you can join for a Both

113
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.759
are very low amount per month and
you can get episodes early and ad free.

114
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.440
So that's the way you're going to
get around the commercials, and that's

115
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.840
why I have him in So thanks
for caring enough to put that in there

116
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:11.360
for me. Let's head on.
So here's an interesting comment from a short

117
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:16.360
that I put up from my episode
with Steve Berga back on episode two thirty

118
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:22.480
eight Bigfoot in Nebraska. User Scott
says, I cannot prove this, of

119
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.320
course, but I may have seen
a big foot north of Minden at the

120
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.240
end of a non maintenance road back
in twenty fourteen. Scott, I would

121
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.360
love to hear more. Please reach
out to me in Bigfoot Society at gmail

122
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:45.240
dot com. It's very interesting.
And here's a fun one we've got.

123
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:50.559
User Mark is putting a comment on
I knew without a doubt it was a

124
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:56.039
pterodactyl. The episode about a gentleman
who saw a pterodactyl along Highway eighty in

125
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:01.720
Iowa. User Mark says about seeing
a tterod actyl. Did you know they

126
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.919
have been seen in South Carolina too, and the school teacher reported seeing one

127
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.519
about three years ago. I was
driving with my girlfriend near a hydroelectric dam

128
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:16.279
and we both saw this large,
weird looking bird flying low. We looked

129
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:18.759
at it and thought it could be
a blue heron or a pelican, but

130
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.080
there are no pelicans in this area. And as this thing glided out in

131
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.399
front of us, we noticed the
long head and the wide, leathery looking

132
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:31.399
wings, and I said, that's
a pterod actyl. She saw it too.

133
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.360
There are no large birds that look
like this thing did, and that

134
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.919
pointed longhead was a dead giveaway that
it wasn't a normal bird. I know,

135
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:46.440
it sounds crazy. They said the
celocanth was extinct, and it's not.

136
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.879
That's very interesting. If you've ever
seen a weird flying bird or thunderbird

137
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.039
or tarod actyl, go ahead put
that in the comments. I would love

138
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.960
to hear about your sighting. We
always have a few of those come up

139
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:05.679
in Iowa, and it seems to
be a Midwest thing. But as you

140
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:13.720
can see here kind of pops up
in different places as well. Here's a

141
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:20.519
fun one. This is off of
a post I put out posts. Have

142
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:22.799
you had a face to face encounter
with the big Foot, dog Man,

143
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:30.519
etc? User kills the seven eight
six says, UFOs over Norad, apparitions

144
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:35.480
in nearby Helen Hunt Falls, flying
humanoids in Creston Chris Stone, Sasquatch Prince

145
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.320
and Florence Tree structures in Pike National
Park, and a ghost in my house,

146
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:45.639
all in Colorado. That said,
they're mostly relatively short stories, but

147
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:50.919
also know a ton of stories from
southern Colorado locals. We've had sasquatch and

148
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.080
dog man, skinwalkers, UFOs and
ghost stories from here. Well, I

149
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.159
would love to talk to you if
you could do me a favor and please

150
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.279
reach out to me at Big Foot
Society at gmail dot com. That sounds

151
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:07.000

heard, and I would love to
have a chat with you on the podcast.

154
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:22.240

forget, the Big Fust Society now has

155
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.840
the BFS phone or the Big Society
Phone I'll have to think about what I

160
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:52.639
Five one five eight o nine one

00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:58.039
put it on your refrigerator. Send
me a picture of it. Here

162
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:03.320
we go. Here's here's a comment
from our old friends swamp Dog, and

163
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.759
this is from the episode is Bigfoot
related to the giants of the Old Testament

164
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:13.200
of the Bible? Swamp Dog rights. You know, I've been thinking about

165
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.960
this. I even showed a friend
of mine this podcast. He's from the

166
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:20.799
Lunnappie tribe of New Jersey. We
both agree it sounds like a skinwalker demonic.

167
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.000
Sounds you should research that area with
the natives. Honestly, when he

168
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:28.039
heard that, he was like,
skinwalker, shut that off. Just be

169
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:33.200
careful. Bigfoot is not the only
things out there. Just saying, well,

170
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:35.519
I think you're absolutely right, swamp
Dog. Bigfoot is not the only

171
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:43.879
thing out there, and we may
be going into different areas, different topics.

172
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.240
I know in the past, I've
said that this is a Bigfoot only

173
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:52.799
podcast, but you'll you'll start to
see episodes pop pop up of maybe topics

174
00:14:52.840 --> 00:15:01.960
that have intersecting themes to do with
Sasquatch. We can we make our horizons

175
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.480
expand a little bit. We'll see
we'll be back with more Bigfoot Society after

176
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:26.080
these words from our sponsors. Here
is a comment. And because of the

177
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:33.039
way that I took the screenshot,
I'm not sure what video this is from.

178
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:37.279
I think it's from the is Bigfoot
related to the giants of the Old

179
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:43.120
Testament of the Bible, But we'll
have to just see. This is from

180
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.159
user justin. Also, I'm Chippewa, and what I can tell you is

181
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.159
that I'm not sure what native language
that is, but that is definitely an

182
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.600
old native language. I'm almost one
hundred percent and you can go to almost

183
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.879
any reds. They are common on
the res, just part of our culture,

184
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.000
but we don't usually go looking for
them. Type of person. They

185
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.240
return to the forest and evolved more
wild where we evolved in the opposite direction.

186
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:07.960
They're never alone. When you hear
them, get down the ground and

187
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:12.320
look, you can see them easily. Like that. They think that they

188
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:18.879
are not visible if they stay still, because their hair almost changes and blends

189
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.799
into whatever they are around, making
people think they disappeared or just vanished.

190
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:29.080
Advantages of having a clear hair shaft. Listeners. If you think that's the

191
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.559
that's the idea to what's that is
going on. If you've seen a bigfoot

192
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:41.519
that is almost see through or has
hair that helps them blend in or almost

193
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.559
a predator effect, let me know
in the comments. Let me know what

194
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.519
you've seen. Maybe it'll be what
like what was seen at the end of

195
00:16:49.519 --> 00:17:00.559
the documentary Missing four one the Hunted. Let me know. Here we go.

196
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:07.400
This is from the video the Sasquatch
Killing Fields of Hatcher Pass, Alaska.

197
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:15.559
User Joel rights somebody needs to investigate
up there. I agree with you.

198
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.759
I think there are a few people
investigating up there for sure. The

199
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:25.319
user also rights, I saw big
at North Lake on Highway twelve in Colorado

200
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:29.920
up the river. This hairy man
look like brock Lessner the four times bigger.

201
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.519
They're really out there, and it's
sad that the government keeps it hushed

202
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.920
because they don't want to freak the
people out. Now, that's interesting.

203
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:41.200
Thank you for your comment. If
you think that the government is keeping the

204
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.799
Bigfoot hush also dog man or anything
else. Put it in the comments.

205
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:51.680
Let me know what evidence do you
have that the government is keeping things like

206
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:56.039
Bigfoot hushed up, or maybe they're
keeping some hidden at a base. If

207
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.559
you have any evidence, let me
know. And if you don't, if

208
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:04.240
you can't, put your evidence out
in the open again, called a Big

209
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:08.279
Faciety phone or text me there five
on five eighth, nine six five,

210
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:21.400
and that might be more safe way
for you to contact me. Here's a

211
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:29.200
few interesting comments. This is from
the zoom in a little bit here.

212
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:33.160
This is from us short I did
which was intense Georgia big Foot encounter,

213
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:42.160
which is a clip from my Matt
Pruett episode. First user oh enough or

216
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.720

217
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:03.400

so please contact me. Also,
user Eric says I've had an encounter with

223
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.799
a huge white one here in Pennsylvania, too crazy thing as my dad saw

224
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.559
it, or one just like it
thirty five years ago on the same ridge

225
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:40.319
where I saw my white one.
Well, that is incredible, User Eric,

226
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:41.799

227
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.480

228
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:49.559
you know how to contact me email
or Bigfist society phone, whichever you're more

229
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:56.920

little bit longer, so get ready,

230
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:06.799
Yoly Mac. Yeah, this is
a long one, guys. Okay,

231
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:12.759
here we go. M You can
notice that my phone is at one percent

232
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:18.200
on the screenshot. That's fun.
This is from Hidden big Foot Taoes from

233
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:23.960
the YouTube. Comments number one from
user slide this is an experience I had

234
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.319
as a seventeen year old teen,
and I hadn't thought about this again for

235
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:32.920
over forty five years until I started
watching channels like yours recently. I've told

236
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:37.480
maybe two other people. Nineteen seventy
five, Whistler Mountain, BC, British

237
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.960
Columbia. I used to go to
a ski camp every July because up on

238
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.599
the glacier there's no lack of snow. Camp was hosted by some very famous

239
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:51.759
ski celebrities at the time. It
was a lot of fun. This is

240
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:57.960
my last full day. I'm going
to skip some parts in this. If

241
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.519
you want to read the whole thing, you can just read the video.

242
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.759
I thought i'd go up to the
spot with some friends and finish it off.

243
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:12.400
I really don't want to make any
algorithms go off. Guys, however,

244
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:18.640
one was Mmia and the other wanted
to do the trampline trampoline workouts after

245
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.279
lunch, so more for me,
I figured and I set out. The

246
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:26.200
spot was shown to me by an
older student the year previous. Walking on

247
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:29.920
one of the fire trails, you
descend to a ridge where there was a

248
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.160
huge granite boulder jutting out over a
cliff with an amazing view. It was

249
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:49.079
about a forty minute walk through some
beautiful forest and changing tree lines. I

250
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:56.359
made it to the spot, sat
and finished off my activity, taking in

251
00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:59.880
the amazing view. Oh, I
didn't mention we were not supposed to be

252
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.200
off the campgrounds, especially out here. Began to get late and I had

253
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.119
to make sure I was back in
plenty of time for dinner, which is

254
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:11.400
five to six pm. I started
my descent heading the clouds. Literally,

255
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.759
I wasn't paying attention, dumb.
As I rounded a corner, I came

256
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:21.839
abound upon two brown beer cubs.
The fire trails wide enough for a truck.

257
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:26.920
Had I been attentive, I probably
would have noticed them on the windy

258
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:32.559
trail. My heart went into my
throat. I wasn't even twenty feet away

259
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:36.039
from them, and I didn't see
Mama. I panicked and ran like the

260
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:40.720
wind back up the trail. I
sat on the boulder and tried to gather

261
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:45.119
myself and tried to decide what to
do. There was a small deer trail

262
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.160
that I knew wound its way back
to the main road beat Low, where

263
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:49.960
I saw the bears, but that
would add a good twenty minutes to the

264
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:55.680
walk, and I was afraid by
getting found absent by one of the counselors

265
00:22:55.720 --> 00:23:00.559
that always made rounds before dinner.
But I was too afraid to go back

266
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:04.119
the same way so I set out. I'd taken this trail a few times

267
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:08.200
previously with friends, but this wasn't
nearly as familiar. I took off as

268
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:12.039
fast as I could down the steep
trail, and after about ten minutes,

269
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:17.039
still freaked out, I had another
chill. It was dead quiet. When

270
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:19.799
did that happen? I stood still, thinking it was all in my head,

271
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:23.839
but it was painfully obvious. The
constant buzz of the woods was gone.

272
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:27.799
Then my second realization, this looked
wrong. Did I take a wrong

273
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:32.319
turn in my panic? There's only
one trail, isn't there? And it

274
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:37.200
was strangely dark. Yes, down
under all these trees is in particularly like

275
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:42.359
but this was just weird. Okay, it's the paranoia, I told myself.

276
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:47.400
Plus I had bears on the brain. I kept walking, hoping things

277
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:52.599
would look normal, but even though
vegetation seemed off, Suddenly I heard a

278
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.720
whistle. I looked back up to
a line of trees on the steep embankment

279
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.839
and thought I saw something, and
after a few seconds figured it was my

280
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:06.240
imagination and turned to walk again.
When I heard the whistle again, only

281
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:10.839
it wasn't like a whistle. It
was like an old man's wheeze, or

282
00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:14.559
even if you could whistle with your
vocal cords is the best way I can

283
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:19.079
describe it. Now I know I
saw somebody behind that tree. One of

284
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:22.559
my friends had come to join me
and was trying to freak me out.

285
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:26.920
Wayne, Wayne, no answer.
I turned to walk again, and then

286
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:30.920
I heard it. Hey, I
just knew I was busted. That's when

287
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:34.279
I saw it, or did I? I turned to walk. After standing

288
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:38.200
and staring for what seemed a solid
minute, I heard another whistle. I

289
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:41.519
turned again, only and now I
was convinced it was some of my friends,

290
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:47.599
because a council or ranger would have
made themselves known. Started walking that

291
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:52.920
back up relieved. Then I saw
something big, really big, but it

292
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.200
was easily twelve feet off the ground
behind the tree, and I caught barely

293
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.240
a glimpse. It was a bear
climbing the tree. I turned again,

294
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.920
and that's when I saw something I'd
never been able to process until recently.

295
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:11.680
It they moved silently in the thickest
imaginable brush across the trail, and the

296
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:17.119
blink of an eye, the brush
itself barely moved it or they covered twenty

297
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:22.039
thirty feet and maybe one second,
huge one was blonde brown, the other

298
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:33.519
dark brown bears. Hey, then
incredibly loud bang, like two trees crashing

299
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.880
together, except I felt it all
through my body. Freaking. I started

300
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:41.519
running in a blind panic down the
trail, and suddenly I was on the

301
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:45.519
fire trail, birds singing, insects
buzzing, the sun was filtering through the

302
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.599
trees, and everything looked normal again. I went to dinner, but didn't

303
00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:53.599
eat weird for a seventeen year old, and was glad to be leaving the

304
00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:57.119
next day. For forty five plus
years, I always summed it up to

305
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:02.839
a bad bear experience, not until
on one of these channels i'd seen comments

306
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:07.720
about spider walking and moving silently through
brush. Today, I wonder I couldn't

307
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.039
make out features or see a hole
anything. If somebody dragged to flow rug

308
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.000
up from the back of a jeep, that might be a good description or

309
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.880
explanation of what I saw. The
brown bears were what I've assumed all this

310
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.920
time, Not even sure if this
is a bigfoot encounter, just an overactive

311
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.680
imagination from a scared team. The
bear cubs pretty much straightened me out,

312
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:33.240
to be honest, so that's interesting. Not necessarily a bigfoot encounter, but

313
00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:40.599
something happened. Let me know what
you think happened in the comments, and

314
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:44.880
we'll see if more people think that
it was a bear or more people think

315
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:52.880
it was a big foot. Here's
a comment from a recent episode The Skinwalker

316
00:26:52.960 --> 00:27:04.519
Ranch of Minnesota's Well, the one
I want to read is they're both interesting,

317
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:11.039
Volicia, though I'd love to come
spend the night in a tent on

318
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:17.000
Randy's land. I live in Black
Duck two. I've heard the board Knox

319
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:22.640
and heard their howell yowell, howell, yells scream. Definitely have Randy back

320
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.759
for some more stories. I believe
we'll be hearing more from Felicia later,

321
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:37.559
so stay tuned in this episode,
we've got some We'll just want to read

322
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.279
a few more nice comments from Horrifying
hairy Man Encounters of Alaska with Fred Roll.

323
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:45.960
This is a great episode with Fred. Of course you probably already know

324
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:52.680
Fred from his channel Subarctic Alaska Scatsquatch. This is a great, great channel

325
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.839
you all should be subscribed to if
you're a subscribed to Big for Society.

326
00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:03.160
But he has some amazing encounters.
User Simon says, I listened to Fred

327
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.920
on his show all the time,
love the bloke big shout from Bristol,

328
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:11.440
UK. Well thank you, sir, that was very nice of you.

329
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:18.519
User builder says, I don't know
how I missed this channel before. What

330
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:23.640
an absolute little gem. This is
up there with Sasquatch chronicles. Listening every

331
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:29.680
night now, great stuff, lads
subscribed. I appreciate that. I really

332
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:34.079
appreciate you all listening and I get
a lot of comments how people listen every

333
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:40.279
night. I try to release an
episode every day. If there's a day

334
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:45.559
where I don't, it's because I
didn't have anyone contact me. I usually

335
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:51.319
have someone contact me and then I
try to set an interview up with them

336
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:56.000
same day, quick turnaround. But
it makes for some amazing episodes. So

337
00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:00.759
make sure if you've got a big
Foot encounter or you know someone who does,

338
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:06.920
please again email me at Big Society
at gmail dot com or send me

339
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.240
a text or called a Big Society
phone at five one five eight O nine

340
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:19.960
one six five. There's a few
emails that I have the approval to read.

341
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:26.079
I'm going to go ahead and share
those with you right now. This

342
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:32.680
first email is from a user John. The subject is Togwati pass Wyoming Mister

343
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:37.839
Byron let me, guys, mister
Byron's my father. Just kidding, but

344
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:41.119
I've always wanted to say that.
You can call me mister Byron if you

345
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:47.279
want, but you're not. Jeremiah
works too sorry. Let me start over,

346
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:51.519
mister Byron. Let me start by
saying I've never seen a big foot.

347
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:55.319
I've shared the following events with some. The only person who actually perked

348
00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:57.160
up when I told him was a
friend who had been a state firefighter.

349
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:03.240
In nineteen eight seven, I was
newly married and bagging groceries at Albertson's in

350
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:07.039
the Upper Snake River Valley. We'll
be back with more Bigfoot society after these

351
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:15.160
words from our sponsors. My wife
was in an RN program at a small

352
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:19.480
junior college, and I was bored, I think, so when a fellow

353
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:26.039
asked me to cut firewood with him
very near tog Waddy Pass in Wyoming.

354
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:30.759
I was on my way. As
far as woodcutting, I was not good,

355
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:33.079
but I stuck with it. I
started at the end of July,

356
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:36.680
if I recall, and already you
could feel the summer slipping away. At

357
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:40.160
about nine thousand feet. We were
south of the past, but we could

358
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:45.000
hear the rigs shifting as they started
the downgrade. The first incident probably happened

359
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:48.240
in the beginning of August. We
had a female moose with a calf wandering

360
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:56.079
around the area and being open range
Herefords were scattered here and there. I'm

361
00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:59.039
not quite sure what that reference means, if someone could let me know the

362
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:04.920
comments what it is. Though grizzly
warnings were posted. A four strangers stated

363
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:08.920
one had not been seen in a
decade. There were no black bear either.

364
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:12.920
We were slobs. Bear aware was
a suggestion. We had trash scattered

365
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:17.680
everywhere. There were four of us. The boss, myself a ski bomb

366
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:21.920
who worked all summer in skied all
winter. Then there was this fellow I

367
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:29.680
will call Pete. Pete was supposedly
from Chicago. He also struggled with some

368
00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:34.000
issues. We had a vintage fifties
two drop trailer where he stayed in,

369
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:38.000
but not Pete. He slept in
the ocean. He slept in the open.

370
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:41.920
He would throw its harp on the
ground and slip like a baby.

371
00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:45.720
One morning we all stumbled out of
the trailer. There was no Pete,

372
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:49.960
just as harp, so we started
calling. Pete was fifteen feet up a

373
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:53.599
lodge pulled point. He was wrapped
up in his bag. He claimed the

374
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:56.359
moose had run him through camp.
It scared him and he went up the

375
00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:00.359
tree. The moose never answered camp. There were no imprints, but when

376
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:06.680
we saw the moose again, she
did not have a calf. Maybe a

377
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:08.480
week later, Pete, the Boss, and the ski bomb went to Jackson

378
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:13.559
for the evening. I forgot why
groceries maybe, and they decided they would

379
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:16.480
stay over Wyomi is a large date
and it was two hours one way,

380
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:21.400
so off they went. I was
going to cut wood and load the flatbed

381
00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:29.759
dodge that carried six chords. It
was big. I was cutting wood about

382
00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:32.319
noon, went over the noise of
the saw and through the nufflers mufflers.

383
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:37.079
I thought I heard a scream that
stood me up. I still wonder if

384
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:40.960
it was being alone in the mountains
that spooked me somewhat. I turned off

385
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:44.880
the saw, looked around and my
first thought was a mountain lion, but

386
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:49.559
nothing. I stopped for lunch and
started again about four PM. From what

387
00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:52.000
I can remember, I was cutting
in through the mufflers and the saw.

388
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:57.319
I thought I heard a second scream, saw off, mufflers off, Not

389
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:00.359
a thing, so I called it
a day was cooling off, shadows were

390
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:04.920
headed my way. It was time
for armor, can stew and a coke.

391
00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:09.079
I sat eight relaxed, probably started
a small camp fire. I read.

392
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:13.240
About ten PM, I went to
bed and turned on the AM radio.

393
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:19.119
This I remember fairly clearly. I
listened to the giants on KNBR.

394
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:23.000
I picked up Saskatoon. It was
August and they were expecting snow flurs.

395
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:29.240
Then a different channel and a woman
asking a talk show host if she should

396
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:34.319
have one last fling to sow her
wild oats. The host gave her good

397
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:38.440
advice, do not do that.
One amenity of the trailer was the camper

398
00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:42.799
was rusted out along the frame and
places. When the lights went out,

399
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:46.880
field mice crawled in and hunted for
crumbs, etc. They squeaked and scurried.

400
00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:52.039
This is important to know. I
fell asleep and I woke up in

401
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:57.839
the early am. It was dead
quiet, no mice, no outside noises,

402
00:33:57.920 --> 00:34:01.039
silent. I then noticed this sound
of something approaching the trailer. My

403
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:05.440
first thought was a grizzly bear.
It was heading my way with purpose.

404
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:08.320
It was coming down from an incline
toward the trailer, and I was worried

405
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:13.599
because of the empty stew cans,
eggshells, half consumed cans of coke laying

406
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:16.159
around. I had a small caliber
rifle and I was going to reach for

407
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:20.480
it when I noticed the visitors seemed
to be too legged. I could just

408
00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:23.599
tell it sounded like it was marching, and that's the first I thought of

409
00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:29.239
that objective adjective. I turned and
grabbed the rifle. As I did,

410
00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:32.559
the trailer creaked. Whatever was outside
stopped dead in his tracks, half thinking

411
00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:37.400
it was a grizzly bear. I
kept going over scenarios of how to get

412
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:40.079
into the cab of the dodge.
This was in case it was a bear

413
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:45.000
and I tried to get into the
trailer. I was also getting uncomfortable how

414
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:50.719
I was sitting up for an undetermined
amount of time. I slowly repositioned myself

415
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:53.719
and the trailer creaked again. The
visitor outside broke toward the way it came,

416
00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:59.880
and within moments it was out of
earshot. Slowly life returned, Noise

417
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:04.599
outside started up, mice began squeaking
and tapping around the trailer. I could

418
00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:07.039
have looked through the curtains to see
what was out there, but I could

419
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:10.159
not do it. I could not
pull that curtain I fell asleep. When

420
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:15.199
the sun came up, I slept
until ten am. I crabbed the twenty

421
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:16.559
two, poked my head out the
trailer and walked to the front of the

422
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:22.159
trailer from where the steps came from. There were depressions in the field grass.

423
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:27.719
The steps stopped right at the grass
dirt separation. The trailer was parked

424
00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:30.679
under pines, so the field grass
did not grow there. I followed the

425
00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:35.039
depressions in the grass. I remember
them being big in the distance between depressions

426
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:38.079
were a lot farther than I could
step jump whatever. Plus, the grass

427
00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:43.119
came to my knees and probably waste
in places. At five nine, walking

428
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:46.400
was a bit tough, let alone. Running up the hill incline, I

429
00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:50.599
came to a small stream of running
water. I noticed that I had to

430
00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:53.639
walk right down to the bank of
mud to jump across. Looking up,

431
00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:58.960
the depressions went from halfway down the
grass to the other bank about halfway up.

432
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:04.440
Getting to the top, I went
a bit further, but the steps

433
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:08.599
led to a dense grove of lodgepole
pine. Falstaff was right. Discretion is

434
00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:13.679
the better part of valor, so
I went back down the hill. It

435
00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:16.480
was more of a slope. The
fellows returned. I caught hell because I

436
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:20.719
had not cut or loaded much wood. I showed the boss of the depressions

437
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:22.719
in the grass, told him what
happened, and he said it was a

438
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:27.119
steer and that was the end of
that. So I cut and loaded wood

439
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:34.840
all day into September. The weather
changed misty, cold, drizzling rain.

440
00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:38.239
Other than Lake Tahoe and Wyoming,
Idaho skiing, I did not spend much

441
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:42.880
time at nine thousand feet, but
it was cold and early fall. The

442
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:49.960
Boss and I were walking a forestry
road to see if any piles of lodgepole

443
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:53.360
could be cut up. There were
bulldozing areas to do. Due to a

444
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:59.159
beetle to our left, probably south, in quite a dense and large stand

445
00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:04.400
of pine, we heard of very
large crack. Some type of probably fairly

446
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:09.280
thick branch had been snapped. I
thought it was elk. Immediately the Boss

447
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:14.000
fairly seriously told me to pick a
tree. We both had twenty two rifles,

448
00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:16.920
but those are useless versus a bear, so we kept going, but

449
00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:22.480
keeping our eyes on low branches.
A few minutes later, another snap really

450
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:25.360
caught our attention. This spooked the
Boss. He was much more concerned.

451
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:30.119
I thought we stood through one more
crack snap, and we headed back to

452
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:35.000
camp. Boss leading the way.
He had to know. It was not

453
00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:38.159
a gruslier back black Bear. I
think within the first day or two we

454
00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:44.119
headed to a different location. It
starts snowing heavily the first week of October.

455
00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:46.679
I went back to school and finished
an AA degree at the little two

456
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:51.320
year College. My wife became an
r N. We moved to Utah,

457
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:53.480
and then I read my way to
a Bachelor of Arts in history and a

458
00:37:53.519 --> 00:37:59.440
minor philosophy. I still know where
the Forestry Road is. I can find

459
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:02.159
it on the four Stream maps.
My wife and I drove by the opening

460
00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:06.920
to the road twenty years ago,
but stayed on the state highway. I

461
00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:10.360
would like to return and walk the
area. I'm sure it's changed. I

462
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:15.039
did not see any of them after
we won our separate directions. I still

463
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:16.760
think of Pete up there in that
tree, wrapped in that sleeping bag.

464
00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:22.960
I wonder about him the most and
hope he ended up Okay. I apologize

465
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:31.239
for the length, sincerely, John, I said, there were some letters

466
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:38.159
coming later from Valicia, and here
they are. Vlicia has given me the

467
00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:45.840
okay to share these letters. Hello
you said to contact you and Vlicia from

468
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:52.360
your YouTube comments on Randy's video that's
the Skinwalker Ranch of Minnesota last night.

469
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:55.039
I'm the one who lives in Black
Duck. Also, I don't really have

470
00:38:55.079 --> 00:39:00.159
any cool stories to tell. Never
seen one, only heard them. My

471
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:02.039
father, who lives two miles away
from me, has heard weird growls and

472
00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:06.480
howling a few times on his property. No weird stuff like Randy has,

473
00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:09.840
lol, although I believe all the
woooo stuff he's talking about. My husband

474
00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:14.119
grew up with his son that passed
away a few years ago. I've never

475
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:17.920
met the guy personally. I've heard
some stories from the locals about seeing a

476
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:22.159
white sasquatch crossing the road in front
of our house from two separate occasions and

477
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:28.440
two different people. The resort I
work for, about a quarter mile from

478
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:31.599
my house has had giant footprints in
the snow coming up to their cabin windows

479
00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:37.880
before. I wish I could see
one myself, but they haven't shown themselves

480
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:40.000
to me yet. I was outside
early this morning and heard what sounded like

481
00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:45.639
five footsteps coming up near the house
in the woods, and ten minutes later

482
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:47.880
it sounded like something very heavy dropped
out of the tree and ran away.

483
00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:52.960
Two seconds later, my husband woke
up and let the dogs out to potty

484
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:55.039
for the morning. I don't think
it was a coon. We live in

485
00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:59.639
the Chippewa National Forest, like seventeen
miles from Randy black Duck. Is a

486
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:04.159
big area. He's talking about state
land. They're like sixth state forests and

487
00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:07.360
a couple of National Forces in the
area, spanning miles and miles from Bamidge

488
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:13.480
to Duluth. We'll be back with
more big Foot society after these words from

489
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:22.840
our sponsors. Here on the northern
side of a Jibway Leech Lake Reservation,

490
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:25.400
Randy might be talking about the Pine
Isleon State Force, which is north of

491
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:30.480
the Chippewa National Forest. There's plenty
of jungle out here for them, that's

492
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:35.199
for sure. I'm playing on going
a sad squatch hunt on October seventh with

493
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:42.880
the probably gonna put that in there. I believe they're going to check out

494
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:46.480
the Rammer area, but not positive
yet where the site is that we're going.

495
00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:52.960
I'll definitely let you know if anything
interesting happens. I've talked to some

496
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:55.400
folk who live on the Red Lake
Rez about forty minutes north of Meat and

497
00:40:55.400 --> 00:41:04.519
they say people have bigfoot experiences all
the time around there. That was the

498
00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:09.280
twenty six at seven am. At
eight am I get another email. Hello

499
00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:14.519
again, this is Alicia. Completely
forgot to tell you about another incident because

500
00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:17.280
it wasn't near my property, but
actually a couple hours northeast along the Alberta

501
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:22.719
Canada border. About twenty years ago, my family had rented a house boat

502
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:27.719
for a week vacation up near Crane
Lake Rainy Lake area. There's miles and

503
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:31.519
miles of waterways, islands, and
beautiful forested area. I believe it's Voyager

504
00:41:31.639 --> 00:41:36.039
National Park area. Anyway, we
had stopped on an island to camp out

505
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:39.719
one night. The island was maybe
a quarter mile ride wide, forested with

506
00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:45.000
rocky cliffs, etc. We parked
the boat at this amazing small sandy beached

507
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:49.920
area with about a fifty to sixty
foot rock cliff immediately on our left.

508
00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:53.519
As the sun went down, we
were on the roof of the boat hanging

509
00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:58.280
out drinking beers in the hot tub
when rocks started to drop in the water

510
00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:01.039
on the cliff's edge, a rock
here and there, or what sounded like

511
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:05.800
rocks hitting the water. My brother
said it was a beaver slapping its tail,

512
00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:09.440
and we continued our conversation. Then
larger splashes and larger, until it

513
00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:15.079
sounded like boulders hitting the water from
on top of the cliff wall. Once

514
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:16.559
in a while we could see a
splash, but it was too dark out

515
00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:21.039
there to really see anything else.
Mind you, there's no beaver houses.

516
00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:25.559
We looked and this was boulder size
rock splashes. I knew something was up

517
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:30.480
and thought squash for sure, but
my brother kept saying beaver, even though

518
00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:34.639
he couldn't explain how loud this was. He doesn't believe. He's one of

519
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:37.679
those guys that say I've been hunting
my whole life and never seen one.

520
00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:42.039
Anyways, my folks go to bed, and my little bro and I go

521
00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:45.920
start a fire on the beach to
chill out for a while. The beach

522
00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:49.760
was only fifteen feet of sand,
then straight to thick brush and forest.

523
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:52.679
We were on the edge of the
forest beach line. Once in a while

524
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:57.719
would hear a twig snap or what
sounded like rustling in the brush not far

525
00:42:57.800 --> 00:43:02.400
from us. We thought, probably
like a coon or something. After a

526
00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:07.119
while, we let the fire die
down to go to bed, just coals

527
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:10.239
remaining as we sat there, could
hardly see any firelight. We hear a

528
00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:14.639
snap coming from what sounded to be
very close in the brush, maybe twenty

529
00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:17.639
feet from us, and we stopped
to listen. Then all of a sudden,

530
00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:21.920
something huge charged at us, and
it sounded like a freight train coming

531
00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:25.519
at us through the brush, snapping
everything in half making its way through.

532
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:29.519
I swear as about ten feet away, but the brush was so thick,

533
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:32.519
it was so dark we couldn't see
anything. As soon as we hear this,

534
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:36.239
we both jumped out of our skins
and our chairs, and my bro

535
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:39.400
grabbed a large log from the fire
pit and held it up like a baseball

536
00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:44.760
player, ready to swing at whatever
is coming at us. It seemed to

537
00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:46.920
come right to the edge of the
beach and brush line. I ran behind

538
00:43:46.920 --> 00:43:52.280
my bro and used him as a
shield. Nice big sister. Then nothing.

539
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:57.639
The crashing immediately stopped, and we
listened intently for any sort of noise,

540
00:43:57.800 --> 00:44:01.599
standing frozen stiff in our spot.
Nothing, no sound. Couldn't see

541
00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:06.079
a thing. Too dark and too
thick a brush, couldn't hear a thing

542
00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:08.559
either. It stopped After a moment
or so. We gathered our composure and

543
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:13.639
decided it was time to go inside
the house boat for bed. Kicked out

544
00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:15.519
the coals and watched the brush line
with one eye while we walked to the

545
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:19.840
boat. I heard nothing the rest
of the night. My bro was sleeping

546
00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:22.039
right by the front door of the
boat and told me later he was so

547
00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:24.679
afraid something was going to come out
of the woods and get him while he

548
00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:29.599
slept. I spent three days with
him on their vacation, and a few

549
00:44:29.599 --> 00:44:32.159
other weird things happened up there.
I saw a giant and I mean the

550
00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:37.000
sight of a Cessna airplane bird or
eagle fly up from the water's edge and

551
00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:40.320
over the tree line. I immediately
asked my brother if he saw it.

552
00:44:42.280 --> 00:44:45.440
This was the same day as the
bluff charge that happened that evening, but

553
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:47.880
he didn't see it. It was
facing the other way. My father and

554
00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:52.000
I also had what it sounded like
bird whistling the end of a tune.

555
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:55.519
I would start, it would finish
the tune, and yeah, it was

556
00:44:55.559 --> 00:45:01.039
the close Encounters of the Third Kid
theme song. Seriously, let's start the

557
00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:06.400
whistling tune and something would finish it
perfectly. My dad was blown away and

558
00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:08.760
mesmerized by this incident, but I've
had wu wu stuff happening a lot in

559
00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:14.000
my life and was not surprised by
anything anymore. I also got dropped off

560
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:16.480
on another small rocky island to fish
by myself for a while. I took

561
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:20.960
some photos of the sun going down
and the clouds on the other side of

562
00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:24.039
the horizon, as the colors were
fantastic, and when I reviewed my photos,

563
00:45:24.039 --> 00:45:28.840
there are balls of light in the
sky, clouds that weren't there with

564
00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:35.039
my own eyes looking. I'm not
talking lens flares either. I showed my

565
00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:37.039
folks the pictures when they picked me
up on the island, and a couple

566
00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:42.239
of minutes later, my SD card
was totally corrupted and I lost every single

567
00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:45.920
photo I had taken. At least
someone got to see the picks beside me

568
00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:50.159
before this happened. Coincidence, I've
learned. There's no coincidences in life.

569
00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:53.719
There's just a term people used to
explain to themselves, synchronicities they experience.

570
00:45:55.280 --> 00:46:00.519
If you pay attention close enough,
the universe shows you everything. Anyways,

571
00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:02.599
that's my best memory of high strangers
out there at the bluff card, the

572
00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:07.360
bluff charge, I call it.
My brother still won't admit what it was,

573
00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:12.920
but I know he was about to
poop his pants that night, as

574
00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:15.679
was I. That was almost twenty
years ago, and I've learned a lot

575
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:19.360
more about sasquash since then. I'd
love to go back through to camp out

576
00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:22.719
again, but I wouldn't remember where
the island was if I tried. It's

577
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.239
just a maze out there, and
it all looks the same. Can get

578
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:30.920
lost easy. My bro and I
are going to camp out in the forest

579
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:32.679
this week or next week, a
few miles from my house, in the

580
00:46:32.719 --> 00:46:37.480
middle of nowhere, on a secluded
lake we found while four wheeling one day.

581
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:40.400
I'm hoping to have some kind of
experience, at least hoping to have

582
00:46:40.480 --> 00:46:45.840
some high strangeness that my brother can't
explain. Again, I'll let you know

583
00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:53.960
if something goes down. Take care, Felicia. That's a pretty pretty wild

584
00:46:53.960 --> 00:47:01.320
bunch of things you had happened up
there in Alberta. Thank you for Sharon,

585
00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:07.159
Thank you for writing that. In
everyone else, if you've had things

586
00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:09.519
happen that you'd want to share,
you're welcome to write that into Big Society

587

588
00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:19.719
message at the Big Society phone at
five one five eight nine one six five.

589
00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:28.440
Well, I think that's going to
be a good episode for tales from

590
00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:36.639
the comments for episode number two.
Again, I appreciate every episode or every

591

mail, email, every text,
every phone call. I wake up every

592
00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:47.039
morning and I've got a solid I've
got a lot of emails to go through.

593
00:47:49.760 --> 00:47:55.400
I appreciate all your listeners trusting me
with your story. Please feel free

00:48:00.599 --> 00:48:07.039
episodes, or any things that you
know about the same area that would help

00:48:10.679 --> 00:48:16.440
email with any of your information Bigfoot
Society at gmail dot com. Just send

598
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:22.679
me a text or leave me a
voicemail five eight nine six five. If

599
00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:29.079
you do that, let me know
in whatever you're sending me one if I

600
00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:34.199
can share it on the show to
what name you want me to use.

601
00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:39.079
That makes things a lot easier and
we don't have to play tag back and

602
00:48:39.159 --> 00:48:45.599
forth, and a lot of really
good encounter things sent in I never get

603
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:51.079
the okay to share, and so
they never get shared. So if you're

604
00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:53.599
going to send something in, please
just give me the okay right off the

605
00:48:53.639 --> 00:48:58.960
bat and let me know what name
you would like used with the story for

606
00:48:59.039 --> 00:49:02.280
me to read. You guys are
all great, Thank you for listening.

607
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:08.440
I appreciate you all listening every day
Big Society. We're going to the moon.

608
00:49:10.440 --> 00:49:15.239
Have a good dale here at Bigfoot
Society. Art goal is to provide

609
00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:21.039
a platform for those that have encountered
Bigfoot to share their encounter in a safe

610
00:49:21.079 --> 00:49:25.320
and respected environment. But we need
to hear your story. If you've experienced

611
00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:31.760
something that you just can't explain,
please send me an email at Bigfoot Society

612
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:36.960
at gmail dot com. Then we
can start the conversation. And I know

613
00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:42.400
a lot of you have not shared
your encounter at all. It's been twenty

614
00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:46.639
years and it's time that you get
this off your chest and then you can

615
00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:52.039
get some well deserved for rest because
I know you haven't been sleeping. I

616
00:49:52.159 --> 00:49:54.920
understand what you're going through, and
I appreciate every one of you listening.
