Terrifying Bigfoot Encounters Shock Witnesses Across North America

0:00 You're listening to BIGFA Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it. To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us. Please keep Jeremiah in your prayers as he continues his fight against cancer. For more updates about his medical journey, please go to the carring Bridge link in the show notes.

0:42 Thank you, Hey, yeah great. Feel free to share what you would like to. Okay, well, I've never seen one, but I've had some weird experiences, and those I've had weird. I've been all over. United States and Canada and whatever, but I've always spent time in the woods, either sports or you know, just hiking. So I'll tell you about what I didn't know was like Bigfoot, and that would be like acorns being thrown at me, small stones or big rocks thrown in front of me, you know, over my head from behind into a creek in front of me, and I didn't know what it was, you.

1:27 Know, I just that was weird. Maybe it bounced off one of the hills, because a lot of times I'm either in mountains or in hills. So I didn't think nothing of it. And then also until later, I found out that no, squirrels can't throw things, raccoons can't really throw things, and maybe birds could drop things. But I've always looked up. When I you know, when that happened, I never saw anything. So that's that was my first. I had that all through you know, youth and whatnot, and never really thought too much about it. One time I was hiking through the woods and I saw this great, big, huge den in a kind of a swampy area, and it was probably about fifteen foot tall from the ground up, and it had what looked like a doorway to it, and I thought, you know, kids had.

2:21 Built it as a fort. But so I went to approach it to go explore it, and it stunk like the hair, you know, my arms and everything just stood straight up. Feared like I've never had before. And by that time I was probably oh thirteen, fourteen fifteen someplace around there. And I've been in the woods all my life, so Nothing's ever scared me like that night, even bear sightings or moose sightings or anything like that. So that was a weird one. I didn't know about the stink at that time either, or the nests, so I looked up every kind of animal I could find that would make you know, bears in your bear duns, they don't stink like that, not until you have to get maybe in the spring, you know. But they don't smell like I know what skunks smell like. I know, wet dogs smell like. I never smelled this before. Okay, And then I had another stink that included military. I mean, you know, these things just sort of happen all the time.

3:24 And so this one was in West Virginia. Let me see about the stinks. The other the other stink was in Ohio. But a military plane had been like doing practices or searching for something, and it almost looked like a cargo plane with equipment on it. And it had been doing it for a couple of weeks through throughout the mountains. You could see it going up and down throughout the Appalachian Mountains. This is in it's one's West Virginia, and I was hiking and you couldn't hear the plane. All of a sudden it came from above. It was tree line. It came from behind me, and I didn't hear it until it was right over top of me.

4:12 And when I looked up at it, it was at treeline. This great, big, huge plane. And I don't know military planes, you know, I know it's a military plane, that's about it, but huge, and it was like clouded, shrouded with white, a white mist, and it kept going and next thing I know, it hit me the stink to a place where I've gone like hundreds of times, and the fear that went over me was so huge I had to get out of there. I could not take another step further. And you know, at the coyotes out west, wolves, grizzlies up in Canada, moose, whatever, never scared me as bad as this wildcat, never scared me as bad as that, And that was weird. I wouldn't go back in the woods for I don't know how long. So that was another one. And then one in Ohio. We're in the middle of the night. It sounded like something totally trashed or campsite. We had a shelter, they were on the roof. Sounded like everything was being thrown down on the ground. Everything was being ripped apart.

5:22 Found the next I thought, well, one of the guys probably got drunk and we'll just have to clean it up. It's not my business, it's his life, you know. And we cleaned it up in the morning. Well the next morning, nothing, nothing had been moved. The guy he said, no, I didn't drink. I just went to bed, and I'm like, oh crap, you know, but I looked around. We looked around and found this great. Big, huge footprint on this plastic turp that it was a dog print, and it was okay, I have a eighty pound German shepherd print. You could have stuck at least three, maybe four of her prints into that one.

6:05 And that's all we found. And let me see, is there anything else that one was? Did I tell you it was in Ohio? Yeah? So those are just weird things that have happened. I've never seen anything. Can you share what area of Ohio? Or like, yeah, well that that weird one where the shelter got attacked in the middle of the night. I even had a recording of it, but freaked me out so bad I threw my phone because I replayed it because I couldn't believe what I was hearing, because I wanted to you know, yeah, when. Everybody woke up. I didn't want to wake everybody up, but you know, I wanted them to hear what was going on. It deleted itself. I never found that recording again. But that was that for oh in Ohio, Okay, Virginia be south south west, west Virginia, North Carolina. Was that North Carolina or was it West Virginia, northwest Virginia I'm trying to think of. North Carolina. Was where I had things thrown as well? Ohio, I had things thrown. I've had things thrown like all my life because I used to like to look into the water since I was like three feet tall, you know, look at the stones and the.

7:31 Creeks and stuff. So the things being thrown has happened to me all my life. So that could be any state in the United States. Have you ever been in a group where someone has had a sighting before? No, but I've seen kids freak out and people freak out, but I never saw anything, and I didn't. I just thought they were just being woosa's. To be honest, not to be mean. But you know, I didn't even here. A big foot. No, I get it until you know, yeah, I. Know, I know when I hear like a you know, snort and buck and a bear coming through, or even a fight and cat fights, cat scream and you know, I've I've heard it all.

8:17 So anything that didn't I. Couldn't put an animal to are the things I just told you about absolutely really weird. Well, thank you so much for coming up, I mean and sharing about a few areas around the US and what you experienced. I appreciate it. Hey there, how are you? I'm all right and you hey good. Feel free to share what you experience, and if you can share the general area that would be appreciated as well. Well. I live in New Mexico now, but I am from Kentucky, uh and I've done a lot of investigation in Kentucky and Ohio and Indiana. I belonged to a group at that time was the Ohio UFO Investigators League, but before that, in nineteen seventy three. I was a runaway and I was in the mountains of New Mexico called the Hamus Mountains, and I was walking down the trail.

9:21 This is nineteen seventy three. So I was walking down the trail and I heard something crash behind me. It was several feet behind me, and it was well, I guess it was around about four thirty in the afternoon, and I was walking down this trail to the stream. And when I heard the crash, I turned around and I seen this bipedal creature. I'm not going to say it was a bear because it wasn't a bear because it was standing up on two feet and uh, it looked right at me, and h the first thing, I thought, it's going to kill me, because you know, I was young, Italy and uh. And I started started to run and I heard footsteps behind me, and then all of a sudden, they stopped and I turned around to look, and uh, it was gone. So apparently he went back into the woods.

10:25 So but uh, so I started walking back towards the direction where it was and I could smell the stench. Uh, it smelled like rotten meat. Uh. And uh. I went back to the to the area where I was staying at and there was a there was a couple there that they were black boots, and they told me, oh, yeah, then he's he's been around for a while. So if you see him again, just yell and we'll come running. So but that was that was my experience at seeing in a big foot. But I had sorry, real quick, did you did it have any emotion to its face at all?

11:08 Actually, the only thing I could see was its eyes. I couldn't really couldn't really see the facial features because I was I wasn't really that close. I was close, but I wasn't that close. But I could tell he was very hairy, and he stood about seven seven and a half maybe eight foot tall. And like I said, it just and every time I heard the footsteps behind me, you could hear a thumb thumb, tumb thumb, you know. So you know, I mean, he was just he was. He could have caught me anytime. But when I didn't hear the steps anymore, I turned around and that's when I noticed he was gone. But I have many stories people have told me over the years from Kentucky in Trigg County, Kentucky and hazard. One of them the guy named the Bigfoot Brownie because he was a brown fur and he would leave him gifts all the time, and this guy would turn around and leave him gifts. So it was just amazing to hear some of these stories.

12:34 One story from a friend of mine who was a splunker, said that he found a footprint that was at least fifteen to sixteen inches long in flowstone in a cave while he was exploring a cave, and he said nobody had been there before, because that's what he used to do, used to go in and map caves. So uh, but I used to I belonged to I belonged, I should say belong past tense. I belonged to a group called Western Bigfoot Society.

13:16 With Ray Crow. Yes, yeah, way back in the day, right. Way back in the day. And I wrote, I wrote a couple of news uh articles uh in his uh in his uh the track. Track record, yeah, track. Record, and uh. But I also had a little booklet of my own called Focusing on Subsquatch, and I told these stories in that in that and I I guess I had it for about a year. I only put him out once every three months. So but it was like I said go ahead.

13:59 Was that a collection of encounters or what was that about? What the Oh? Yes, it was a collection of what I was told? And that was that was the The article in the in the newsletter was called I was Told And I would tell these stories as I was, and I you know, and I would write down everything. I put them on the recorder and stuff like that. You know. So, I mean, I believe in Bigfoot. I'm too old to go squatching now. I'm sixty seven years old and I'm disabled, so I can't really do it anymore. But the subject always has a place in my heart.

14:49 Oh, I hear you. I'm right there with you, man. Do you still sell that book or is it something where probably copies are out there somewhere. What I was going to do is I was going to send you, uh, send you some of the articles that I had in it. Oh cool, that would be awesome. Through your email address. So I love that. Thank you. I would really appreciate it. Yeah, no problem, And you take care of yourself, because I know what cancer could do. I lost I lost my wife and. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. My goodness. We're gonna, we're we're gonna beat it. Uh, We're gonna give it the best shot. You know, it's gotta keep a chance, good chance. Absolutely, I'm praying for you.

15:37 Okay, thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you for coming up and chatting. Thank you so much. That was really nice. Hey, Bill, you thanks for coming up. So you had an interesting sighting. It sounds like with some of your relatives. Yes, when I was a kid, I'm I'm Native American. So growing up in reservation, we didn't have TV, electricity or running water or anything. And my father always liked to take us camping and stuff with our rest of our other family members. And I remember one time there was like a big revival that was happening, and my father is not a Christian guy. He believed Native American traditional teachings and stuff, but he always liked to go camping whenever his family did. And his mother was more of the Christian woman, and so she invited all her children and she had, like I think my dad had like eight siblings and him, so it was like nine children.

16:38 And so everybody went camping at this big revival and my father was like, if you don't want to go to the children's church thing, you guys can go play with your siblings or your siblings and your cousins and you know, go go play, but don't like mess up the service that's happening. And so that's what we did. My cousins and my brother, we all decided to go into the woods and go play. And there was one game that they liked to play. It was they called it war, but really was like a pine cone fight. And so we were tossing around pine cones, like the dried brown ones that are like light and airy and it doesn't hurt when it hits you.

17:21 But this one thing that. Was crazy was when we were kind of far from the camp when we were laughing and throwing around pine cones. Well, one of my little one of my little cousins, he got hit with a fresh pine cone, the green hard ones that still have spikes on them, that hurt really bad. And we're like, hey, guys, just just throw the brown pine cones. Don't throw the green fresh pine cones. Those hurt too much. And we're like, okay. We had an understanding and we started playing again. Well, another kid, one of my other cousins, he got hit with a fresh one, and we're like guys seriously throwing those hurt and once we were talking to each other, we were all like huddled up. One of the green pine cones comes flying, but we all saw it, but it came flying from the top of the trees and it was any of us, and so we thought, like, you know, another family from the revival followed us, or one of the kids from the revival followed us, and you know, they're playing a trick on us. So we all looked up into the trees.

18:27 And we're like, hey, who's up there. You can't be throwing pine cones from up there. It hurts, and so all of us we decided to go walking around the trees to look up. And these trees are pretty like grothy, like thick trees. So we're like our eyes are looking up into the tree line and we're walking around this big old trunk and that's when we see the thing. And we all thought it was a monkey, because you know, we said, we didn't have like TV or anything like that. All we knew was like national geographic magazines, and all we saw was you know, monkeys or like big cats like cheetahs and lions and stuff like that.

19:10 So what we saw was. It looked like in a ring ating like the same reddish brown color, and it looked like a monkey, and it wasn't really big. It's probably the size of my oldest cousin, who was like seventeen. And we freaked out because I know, I've never seen something like that before. And in. When my grandparents and my elders used to talk in Navajo and tell us like stories, they mentioned, you know this tall, hairy being that takes children or you know, takes livestock and stuff. So we're like, oh, we started.

19:51 Running and we're hauling, you know, we're hauling it down the road back towards the dirt road that we came on. We started running back towards the revol and I remember running straight into the revival tent and like yelling for my dad, and my dad grabbed me and picked me up and walked me out of the tent, and I told him what happened in what we saw, and my dad like he never told me I was lying. He never like tried to like tell me that, you know, that's not true or whatever. He was kind of. Concerned, and then he just told me, like, don't go too far next time. But there's always been stories about beings like Bigfoot, and I thought I was the only one who remembered that until you know, one time we moved off the reservation and we had like TV and cable and all that stuff, and I remember seeing this like Bigfoot documentary and I was like, oh, crap, that's what I saw. And I looked at my brother and he looked at me. And then we haven't spoken about this, and we're like in our twenties, and I looked at him and I was like, hey, you remember when we were really young and what we saw in the mountains of that one time there was a revival and he's like yeah, He's like, I thought you forgot about that.

21:13 I was like, I'm never forgotten about what we saw, and so I was like, that's what we saw, right, He's like yeah. Because and then people were like, oh, no, like I told non natives the story before and they're like, no, it's probably like you know, some animals escape from the zoo, and I'm like, if you've ever been to the reservation, you know, hundreds of miles away from us, our zoos, they're nowhere near us, and we live in a desert and this happened on like a mountain though surrounded by desert. But yeah, that's my I guess my bigfoot. Did I hear you say this is this is on the Navajo Restoration.

21:58 Yeah, it's on the Navaja. Oh yeah, I'm not the only person who've seen like stuff like that. Yeah, oh absolutely. I just interviewed a gentleman from the Navajo Reservation a few weeks ago. His name is Donovan, and the stories he was sharing are absolutely incredible. He's on TikTok as well, but I mean he was. I think he was referring to it as looking orangutan as well for a few of his accounts, So that's very interesting. But yeah, the Navajo Reservation, you guys have some wild, wild stuff going on all the time. Yeah, definitely, most definitely we have stories about you know, Navjo witches, like skin walkers and stuff, and they're not like what non natives say on TikTok. They're not like everything.

22:49 Everything can't be a skinwalker. But there's definitely stories like that. Things different, weird things. But that's a whole. Thing I can tell you about. But yeah, I just wanted to tell you my bigfoot story. But yeah, have a reservation is pretty scary, and and then people are like, no, they're mits, and I was like, okay, if you believe that they're mits, Okay, it. Doesn't sound like I've. Been a reservation and go camp out there. Oh man, yeah you'll find out. Okay. Yeah, absolutely. Well, thank you for coming up and for sharing your experience.

23:31 I appreciate that. Yeah, no problem, thank you. Hi. How are you doing. I'm doing good. So what do you got going on today? Well, I had to work today, but I'm at home now, so that's a good thing. Yeah. Yeah. I have quite a few interesting stories. They did not happen at my home, but they happened at my sister's home. And we lived near the mountains in North Carolina, and her and her husband shared oh my gosh, well over fifty acres of land back in the woods. Their driveway was two miles to get to their house, a gravel driveway, and you could see the mountains behind their house. And I was witnessed to quite a few things that happened at her home. For instance, one night I spent the night with them, and I kept hearing loud banging on the side of their house. I mean, very very loud banging, and I sat up and I'm like, what is that?

24:55 And my son was there also, but he was a teena and I'm like, okay, why is my son beating on my sister's house. Well, I finally went to sleep. In the next morning, I woke up and I asked my son. I said, Hunter, why were you beating on Missy my sister's name MISSI. I said, why were you beating on her house? He said, did you hear that? I said yeah? He said, Mom, why would I be outside in the middle of the night beating on the house? Come on? And I'm like, okay, it wasn't you? All right?

25:39 Oh gosh, there's so many instances. We actually found a huge, huge, enormous pile of feces at the edge of the woods. I'm talking about a mound. I've never seen anything like this in my life. And this may sound crazy, but me and my sister googled every kind of pieces you can think of. No, we never found anything that looked like that. It was not bear, it was not dog.

26:20 The list goes on and on. It was not it was not it was not well. She also took pictures of. The huge footprints outside in her backyard in the mud, and they were. Extremely extremely big and. Very deep, deep, deep deep in the mud, much much bigger than oh gosh, a man with his size twelve shoe, much much bigger than at and she and I and also I heard this when I would visit them. Tree knocks many, many, tree knocks many, And they had no neighbors, no neighbors at all. And like I said, they were two miles back in the woods. We heard tree knocks, we heard I don't want to say growl. I can't even describe the howling, growling whatever.

27:41 I can't describe that. And oh gosh, there's so many stories. My sister and I were standing in the driveway and from the woods we were having not big rocks, but stones being thrown at us from the woods and they were actually hitting us. Wow. Just oh. And also my aunt, my aunt Katie, stayed with my sister and she heard scratching outside of her window and she's like, what is that which she didn't look.

28:23 And the next morning and. She said, she asked my sister. She said, y'all need to cut that tree in front of the window. And my sister's like, there is no tree in front of that window, and the window, oh my gosh, was seven eight foot off the ground. And my sister says, Katie, there is no tree outside that window. So there was scratching tapping on the window. And like I said, there's so so many stories, but the biggest story of all which other people will not believe. But my sister, sure, I can tell you one hundred percent, does not lie. She is a smoker. So she went out on her front porch and this happened.

29:10 A year ago. And I always wanted to see something. I always wanted to be there and see something, and I was not there. She went outside to smoke a cigarette, and a big foot at in the daytime, it was almost dark but not quite still daylight walked across her driveway into the woods, and she witnessed it. She threw her cigarette down, ran inside, screaming to her husband, and by the time they got out, all they could hear was the footsteps, heavy footsteps going in the woods. He didn't see it, but my sister did.

29:53 And a couple of weeks later, a neighbor that lived down the road from them, and I'm talking a couple of miles down the road from them, was riding her bike on the paved road and said that one crossed right in front of her while she was riding her bicycle. So goodness, why is this western North Carolina? We live very close to Virginia, So okay, wow, yeah, yeah, many many, just so many stories. But yeah. She actually she did not take a picture because she did not have her phone. She just went outside on the porch to smoke a cigarette, and she watched it very briefly, she, you know, because it did start it startled her. But she and I both are big foot enthusias enthusiast, you know, we're enthusiasts. We love boot you know.

30:55 And the noises that that made, you can't even describe. I mean, it was so loud and oh my gosh, I can't. I can't even describe what it sounds like. I can't because it's nothing. I've ever heard before. Now. The tree knocks, oh wow, heard a lot of those. And like I said, that feces was oh my gosh, that mound was just enormous and that footprint was enormous. She's still got that picture. I've got the picture. I think I have it on my phone somewhere, But she's got it. She's got the footprints on her phone and she actually did finally get to see it. They don't live there anymore, but the people that moved there said that they definitely needed needed to discuss this with her because there's been some things going on with them. Also, Oh, I did leave out one thing. This is pretty interesting too.

32:05 Their front door. One day she went out and when she came back in the front door, the doorknob was completely ripped off the door and was in the middle of their yard the doorknobs. So but like I said, she finally did end up seeing it. Now I cannot pronounce it's gigana. What can do? You know what it is? Yes, Okay, people should realize they're not extinct. That is what a bigfoot is. They are not extinct. That I mean, that's my theory. That's what I think that that's what it is. And they where people think they're they're that they're extinct, they're not.

32:55 They're real. They are real. Yeah, you're not. The only one to have that. That theory. It's a really interesting one, especially since there are other prehistoric type animals that have been seen around the US at certain times. Right, it's it's very weird if you start to look into it. But if you're if she ever needs to talk to someone about what she's experiencing kind of you know, work through it. You can pass on my emails Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com. I can talk. I'd love to talk to her, but it's up to her. You know, sometimes you're in the middle of something like that and you don't know how to handle it and you just need someone to talk to. It's not going to make fun of you, you know.

33:44 Right right, some people believe her, and then others don't. Now the lady to live down the road, and I'm talking about a couple of miles down the road that saw one walk in front of her while she was riding her bike on the the It was a road, you know, a road that cars travel on. Of course there are woods on both sides. She witnessed the same thing and she told my sister, she said, I saw it too. So now my sister and I both we, oh, gosh, we love Bigfoot. I mean we always have. And she also has a story when she was little seeing well, she was probably about ten eleven or twelve, and her and her friend saw one years and years and years ago. I always said I wanted to see one, but from a distance, from a distance, yeah, yeah, But what she scared?

34:47 It startled. It startled her at the time. But she was never scared being there. She wasn't. She was never afraid. No, Now, the beating on the house, I'm not sure. This is when they first moved in so like, and nobody. Had ever lived back there. They had to clear the timber, clear the woods to make a site for their home. You could see the. Mountains mountains behind them, and that was their territory. And they were I think they were checking the house out.

35:27 They're like, hey, what is this? You know they were, I think they were checking the house out. They're like, hey, what is this? You know, who is this? What is this? Yeah? Why are you here? Why are you in my territory? Because there was nobody living back there where they lived down there gravel driveway, which was horrible, horrible to get back there. It was horrible. Now their house was gorgeous back there, but the driving back there was, my gosh, it was horrendous to get back there. In the winter time, no way you could come. Yeah, even though my brother in law tried to gravel the road.

36:14 It was rough. It was still rough getting back there. You needed a four wheel drive. So but that's that's my story. But yeah, man, Crystal, that's that's some wild stuff. Thank you for sharing what you guys have got going on over there. You are so welcome. I I one hundred percent believe I really do. Like I said, I cannot pronounce the giganta pithecus. Is that right? You got it? You got it close enough, close enough. That's really they're just not extinct. They're not. And you know people that winness things like the lockness or whatever I think those are. They're not extinct where people thought they were, they're not.

37:03 They're still around. Yeah, it's a. It's an interesting theory for sure, but you know, yeah, keep us in the loop in the future. And thank you for coming up, Crystal. Oh, thank you so much. Yes, ma'am, Hey Dove, this is Jeremiah. Thanks for coming up. Hey, buddy, how you doing to not? Hey doing good sir? Feel free to share what you've experienced there. I've actually been wanting to do this one for a while. Everyone I tell or talk to they always tell me the same thing, and you should really like write about it. I was with a group of friends and we went up to Combing, Alabama or pretty much to like visit some of their family. And we got up there, Yes, it was like an evening time. Everybody was pretty much wanting to go out in h like do things or whatever.

38:03 And I kind of mentioned the question of like what do y'all do like far as like going out in the woods and stuff. They were like, Oh, we do bigfoot adventures up or like sightings and stuff like that up here, and I was like, well, that's pretty cool. So we end up going down for about an hour half hour and a half drive into like this like really forestry area up there, and about twenty minutes of when we first got there to like the location you had to walk down into like it's like I guess what people call like a holler. And when I got into the and there was like an open field, and me being me, I kind of venture away from everybody.

38:43 There's about four of us and my nine year old son at the time too, so I'm about fifty yards away from everybody. And one of the girls who got us all to go do this bigfoot thing with her dude sholl out this like ridiculous scream. I even kind of like turned around and kind of like chuckled back, like why would you scream like that? And it was no longer like twenty seconds later, from about two hundred yards to my left, you can hear something screaming back at me into the woods. Now I'm from Florida. Usually we're just used to like you know, panthers or alligators or whatever. We're not used to like what I just heard project right back at me. So at this point it got my attention. So I started making my way back towards them, not really in a hurry, but just kind of like walking across the field, you know, just trying to get back to them, and I'm kind of yelling back at her, like what are you doing? And about this time I hear it like coming off in a distance from a second It was more like two of them mountain the woods with us. And when I heard the second one, I went from like just a normal walk to like a quicker jog, like okay, because it sounded like it was getting closer to us. When I get back to the group, I was you know, She's like, did you hear it? Did you hear it?

40:07 I was like absolutely, what do you like, What is that like? It sounds like a scream. She goes, yeah, they're calling back. So my son, he starts getting more freaked out about this because, like I said, we're not used to this kind of activity. So as we're getting back together, everybody's back in a circle with us, and we're going to work or or make our way back up to the top of the hill to where my truck's at. Well, as we're making this walk back towards the truck, it literally sounds like it's it's also getting close towards dark. It's not really bright out just anymore. It's more like dim getting dark. So as we're getting back onto this trail, going back up the hill towards the truck, you can hear it just coming up behind you in the woods, screaming. Dude, it sounds like this, not like a not like a a panther, not like a bobcat. It's it's more of like this heroine scream man, very deep, very loud. And my son he turns around, he's like, Dad, it's standing right there. And dude, it was probably within fifty yards from us, standing in the middle of the trail, screaming at us. Alabama's an open carry state, so it was very glad to hear that because it made me pull from my hip and put my son up on my shoulder and carry him the rest away with my pistol drawn the whole way, screaming at these people, like we got to get back to the truck, man. These things were like coming out of the woods on.

41:34 Top of us. And as we got back to our truck, I put my son back in the seat, slamming the door, jumping my seat. As I'm backing up. You can just hear it screaming in the woods again behind us as we're leaving out. And ever since that moment, dude, I am one and ten percent a firm believer in Bigfoot. Oh my goodness, that is absolutely wild. Uh. I mean, this is me telling the story just like as I clearly remember it, brother, and it's it's the most intense moment of my life as a thirty year old man, a thirty eight year old man to be able to I mean, the only thing I can think it was just to grab my son up, put him up on my shoulder and like hurry up this freaking heel to my truck with everybody. I'm hoping everybody's catching up with me because I'm in a hurry to get off this get off this freaking mountain. And that happened in Coleman, Alabama. Dude, that it blew my mind.

42:34 I definitely have a few questions for you. There's a good one from the chat. When you were hearing that screaming, Did it expect you in any way, like did it like shake your ribs or your chest or anything. No, definitely not that it. Man. I'm telling I've never heard that type scream before. And I've heard, you know, you know, Bobcats scream. I've heard other pats or whatever. Its just something else other, but nothing that deep, that girthy like scream. I've went on even with my fiance, I even went on line trying to find videos and I've actually came across some before that sounded just like it. And I'm let's look at her and like the hair would raise up, and I'm like, baby, that's it. That's that's exactly what I've heard, and it's it's it's as a real moment, it's really real.

43:35 Did you show you you definitely heard it? Did you did you actually see it? Though as well. Yes, when I turned around, it was about fifty yards from us. You can see it standing in the center of the trail. It's definitely ever I would say, around seven foot tall, absolutely one ercent. In the middle of the trail. Do you remember any details about what you saw. From standing from my I mean I had the most clearest vision because I was kind of like, I don't know necessarily can say if I was in front of everybody, but when I look back, I didn't see nobody else standing, So I had the perfect eye vision of this, of this bigfoot man. And I would say he was more darkish figured, probably about seven foot tall and looked to him somewhere around five hundred pounds, like a like a just a really big tall person, hands down man. Not necessarily like covered in fur like everybody, it would say, but more like like a coat in a sense, like it looked natural, you know, like he was it was meant for him to have that style, you know what I mean?

45:00 Yeah? No, absolutely, Uh at that distance, were you able to notice any features of the face or was it too far away to see those? Definitely not features of the face, because like by that time, like I said, it was getting closer to the evening time. So standing from that distance, I couldn't make out if you know, like color of eye or anything like that, but definitely can say highth weight. Wow. I mean I swear to. Absolutely our little boy was. Here right now. He would tell everybody. I would just put the phone down and be like, Chase tell him. I won't even say right right, oh yeah?

45:44 Could you see uh, anything to do with its arms at all? Like how long they were. When he when he yelled at us, it was like like as like if you were getting ready to curl, you kind of put your arms up midways to like lift. So when he belted, it was he like belted his screen like that, and it was it literally and I don't want to say stuff like that online, but it literally made me unholster myself. And I knew that at that point, like everybody around me is going to get out of here safe, man, Like that's the rule of a moment.

46:25 Uh? Was this? I want to get so you it was like a wildlife management area? Do you think this was? Uh? I mean Bankhead National Forest is really active and that's kind of in the same area you were. It was a national forest up there. Yeah, yeah, listen, I know you had to cross an old wooden style bridge. It was like I wouldn't want to take my truck acrossed it, but it was made like it was like I wouldn't want to take my truck across, but it was made like those old wooden style bridges were one car passes. And I remember crossing through that bridge going to the other side, and that's where it led us down into this trail, into this valley. And we were down there for at least twenty minutes before the first screen came out. And man, it put the hair right on the back of my neck like out of a movie.

47:27 I mean, the more I sit here and talk to you about it, man, it's just like I can see her and relive it, and absolutely it's almost like a PTSD event, you know, you just go back to because when you camp out in the woods, you're always listening for everything around you. Bears, I mean down here in Florida, we got black Bear, we got Florida panther gat everything, so you're pretty much used to certain things, but that never not one time. I've always heard about the skunk ape down here, and I always been with everything else you know, even with UFOs, we just you know, we don't know until we see it ourselves. Well, I've always been that guy. I don't know until I see it.

48:10 I seem absolutely who well, Dove, thank you for coming up and for sharing what you experienced in Alabama that night. I appreciate it. Absolutely and I'll follow you, man. I really appreciate this. Thank you. You got it. Have a great night there too, Thank you. Hee we got is it? Shara? Shira? Shira? All right, thanks for coming up, Shira. What's going on? Okay? So I was I'm in the Appalachian mountains. All right, hey you're there. I'm crazy, No, no, ma'am. So out here we heard something next to my house, like out in the woods, and it was running too fast to be a bear, meaning like it was like you could hear it high up, like it was hitting the branches and you can hear it like the yelps or something like you could hear it was not a bear.

49:14 It was not a bear. It wasn't a cat, mean then like mountain cat, any kind of panther. It was crazy. Like I woke up my parents like, hey, come listening to this. Mom came out and she was like, I've never heard this before either. It was not man made for sure. You could hear it just running through the woods, and it was hitting branches, so nothing that high up besides a bigfoot could hit branches, right. I know'ally logically that makes sense. Are there a lot of reports in that area?

49:58 Yeah? I have la well right, I mean, but Appalachia is a pretty big region. Are you able to share any more specifics about the area or just if you need to leave it vague, that's no problem. About forty minutes west of Ashville. Oh yeah, yeah, okay, that's that's the area. Yeah, yeah, it was big. There's nothing that you could hear the branches as it was running, and you could hear the It was not a bear. We know bears, obviously, we know bears, and I've seen mountain lions and I've seen like, there's nothing that that.

50:50 Was totally. And people think I'm crazy it was a big foot. Did you go out and see if there are any tracks? The next day, I did go out. I did go out. That's I couldn't tail because it's like a mudpit over there, but I tried. I wanted to see because I do believe in Bigfoot. But I just don't understand what we heard that night. It was crazy. I've never heard that before. Is that the only weird thing that's happened around your house?

51:35 Yeah? Actually yeah? Cool? I know, don't really help your study, No. I mean it, if anything, it adds to the list that. Yeah, west of Asheville, there's weird stuff that happens, so it definitely does help. Yeah, thank you for sharing that. Yeah, no problem, it was I wish she was here because it was amazing and scary all the same. Guy. Absolutely, we'll keep us in mind if anything else happens out in your area. Yeah, totally all right, thank you for coming up. Yeah, no problem.

52:21 All right, we got a few more people wanting to come up here. Hey, what's up, bro? How you doing? Hey, hey, thanks for coming up. Yeah I saw that you are. Was it from Monroe, Washington? Yeah? Where it happened. That was in Monroe, Washington. It's like near a like what do you call it? Like dirt bike trail and everything like that. All right, anyways, this was in like twenty ten, right. You know, I'm with my buddies, completely sober, right, I'm sitting by a bonfire, you know, just just chilling. We're waiting waiting for some UFC fight to start, and I man, it was bone chilling. Man. I hear this like. Kind of like like an owl, but on steroids, right, and it hooed back at me. At least it was like a howl. It did it back at least three times.

53:06 I started mimicting, mimicating it back. Right then after we started, you know, hooing at each other, I guess I start hearing. This bang bang bang bang. And from what I understand is, you know sasquatches bigfoots, when they feel threatened or there's someone's in their territory, they'll rip limbs off of trees and they'll bang on other trees as a way to mark their territory. And I think that's exactly what was happening. That's wild. And is this area known for sasquatch activity. I mean, I mean it's the Pacific Northwest, you know, it's washing sure, sure, yeah.

53:47 Yeah. And then the natives, you know, they believe, you know, it's like a spiritual thing and like it's a spiritual being. So you never know, but you know, I believe in you know, skun gapes and stuff like that, you know, you never know what's out there. I mean, Florida's there. There's a lot of sightings. I mean, where are you guys located at before I you know, let you go and you can let someone else up. Where you guys. So I'm out of central Iowa, but I do like this. This last summer I did make it out to a central Oregon and hopefully I hope to make it up to Washington eventually. Yeah. Good time they put Capital of the World. Man, You'll you'll love it. You'll love it. And then you know, if you like you know, if.

54:28 You like fish, and you can fish or salmon out there too, which is pretty nice. Hey, there you go. Good stuff, good stuff. Well, thank you for coming up, man, for sharing what happened out there in Monroe. Yeah, anytime you guys have a good one, Yes, sir, yep. Bye. Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a National park ranger of forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field or a trucker with government contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows CIA, NSA or anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't, then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.
