TERRITORIAL SASQUATCH CHALLENGES WITNESS AT ABANDONED MILITARY SITE

A witness from Washington's Olympic Peninsula shares ongoing reports of mysterious tree structures, nighttime whoops, knocking activity, and signs that something large continues to move through the forests near her home.


Then, former Marine Tim returns to the exact location where he experienced a Sasquatch encounter years ago during military training. What he finds waiting there includes massive tree structures, an 18-inch footprint, responsive wood knocks, and a powerful howl coming from deep within the woods.


Later, a longtime resident of the Salamanca, New York area recounts decades of encounters near Allegany State Park, including repeated visual sightings, strange vocalizations, coordinated wood knocking, and multiple nighttime observations of large figures moving silently through the darkness.


From the Pacific Northwest to Western New York, this episode explores locations where witnesses continue reporting activity year after year. If you're interested in firsthand Bigfoot encounters, recurring patterns, and stories from people who have spent years living alongside the unexplained, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

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. Thank you, Hey, Leannie, how are you?

0:45 Good morning? Hello? Are you having new and new stuff happening around to your house yet? Year round? I would love to hear about what you've got going on, because you're out in the PNW right right across. The street from the Olympic Peninsula. Okay, so out there in Washington State. Yeah, I heard knocking the other night. My nephew come and woke me up. Says Auntie. They're out there. They're about a mile away from my house. Okay, interesting, I just talked to a guy today who was sharing stuff about where was it. I gotta look at the map. It was Kweets. Oh yeah, on Quinault Reservation.

1:41 He was sharing with me some stuff about that. But that's pretty cool. What kind of other stuff do you guys have going on out there right now? Structures are changing all the time. They're very prominent where I am. What kind of structures have you been noticing? Just he've made out of trees and branches. They look like triangle structures. There's branches that like there's like trees that shouldn't be in places where they shouldn't be, like alder trees placed in fir tree areas, and there's no older trees anywhere to be found except like maybe about fifty to seventy five feet away from where they should be.

2:22 Gotcha? Have there been any sightings in these areas? Not recently, but a lot of people in my community alone are hearing either like calling sounds or like weird strange noises at night. Okay, okay, when you say calling sounds, what kind of things are they hearing. Like single whooping sounds. Gotcha, Yeah, I know. The Olympic Peninsula is so incredibly active, and I can only imagine what it's going to be like this summer, because I mean, you guys really have no snow pack out there. Yeah, really, the whole state of Washington and Oregon. There's probably gonna be a lot of fires, which means there's gonna be a lot of movement. Yeah, and animals and Bigfoot. So it is very sad. It's extremely sad. But do you have you been noticing anything else around your property that you think is related to Bigfoot?

3:30 The structures in cedar pulling they like to I have a theory about cedar trees. I think they like cedar trees. I think it does something for their health. But every time they start hanging out by a cedar tree, it begins to die. Like after about a year where I've noticed where they were playing around on the cedar trees, those cedar trees are now losing life. But there's also structure all over those cedar trees. Do you have any idea why that might be. I'm not sure. I think it has to do with maybe micros something like kind of helps with their health.

4:16 Gotcha, gotcha. That's yeah, it's very interesting. I know that a lot of people that spend time looking for them sometimes will report health issues that are really weird. So I don't know if that's just another form. Of it, but no, I think it's for like a micro like antibacterial stuff, like like something they eat or something, because like these trees are like they're a full on living and that I think because they climb up and down them, because they will put trees against the cedar trees. It looks like so they can escalate up and down the tree. But I think the urine that they're doing when they're climbing the trees killing it. That's my theory.

5:05 That's extremely interesting. Do you have any other theories that you've come up with by observing things going around in your area. I do honking because I work around about a five mile radius I and so sometimes I will honk in a certain area just to kind of like draw them out because I will leave apples out for them, and they'll show signs that they're there. So then i'll leave apples if they show signs, and then there the apples are gone. But I don't know if it's other animals or if it's big foot taking them. Have you found that a certain number of apples are taken or are all the apples taken?

5:49 Usually all of the apples are taken. That's interesting, Okay, I've heard it either way. So I think it just depends. I will eat an apple in the site to show that it's safe. I don't know if that helps, but. I don't know. Gotcha, very very interesting stuff. I know we've talked before. It was a while back, but I know we've talked before. But I appreciate you coming up and giving another update about what you've got going on up there. Thank you, Yeah, thank you. You have a wonderful day. You too, Tim. How are you?

6:31 How you doing? You remember me, don't you? You know? I think so you might have to. You might have to. That was a Marine Corps unit. That was Oh yes, yes, sis, what's going on. I've only got out of service, and about three weeks ago. I believe it was me and my boys. They're all older and everything, you know. I told him about what happened and everything during that time once I got out of the military and everything, and I'm like, well, da, let's go back there and say, I said, go back and see what he's like. Let's go back and see the area you know you had this happened to you. And I'm like, you know, that's been so many years ago. This thing has probably growed up, you know, and done whatever, you know. But they convinced me to do it. So we got there. We went up the same road and everything we did, as I was in the military vehicles and everything, we parked the exact same spot where they had the tent set up that night. So we got back on a trail heading towards.

7:27 A blueberry field. We got probably let's say forty fifty to sixty feet or sixty five yards inside the woods past that point, and there was this tree structure there. Never seen it that night, never seen it that night when this happened to us, because it was that night, and you could tell. This was old, I mean very old. I mean. I think they were pine trees. I want to say pine trees or something, but you could tell they had no more bark on them. There was five of them perfectly place, like a tepee. And my boys is like, what is that? I said, well, from what I understand, that's something marking his territory. My kids like, marking his territory. I'm like, well that's what they say it is, or a different information for it. They said, Dad, this looks weird. I'm like, yeah, well didn't you see that down No, it was at night time over right here, you know, we didn't see this.

8:20 So we progressed on down the trail and we got to where the blueberry patch was. Well, the blueberry patch has got a little bit, well quite a bit smaller. I think it was due to that bad storm to have up there and everything. But we walked right to the middle of the spot where we seen that the two sasquatches stand and everything. There was still a little patch of blueberries there. And my kids like, what is that over there? Dad? And I look, here's an eighteen inch footprint. I mean, you can tell it just as perfect as if I didn't take my shoe off and stomp in mud right then. And my kids were like, uh so they're coming back here. I said, well, something's coming back to this woolberry patch.

9:02 I said, you know, this is exact same spot we had a target set up in and those were the two, like I said, a male and a female that came behind us. So my kids were like, okay, well, let's go look around a little more. So we went off, like down the hill where the sasquatch went and everything like that. We followed that on down the hill, probably about another one hundred hundred and twenty five yards. There is two more tree structures in between there and the place where we stopped. And my kids are like, my kids are like, that is this normal? I said, how can I explain to you what's normal when I'm trying to figure out what it is myself, you know. And I said, well, I said, I guess this is normal for sasquatches or big boots, you know, marking their territory and everything. And it was probably four o'clock in the afternoon.

9:48 It wasn't dark or anything. The sun was still right up above the mountain and everything. And we started walking back. My kids says, you know, Dad, I heard if you do a would not maybe they will, you know, answer back to you. I'm like, well, you know, I really don't want to get back in touch with these things like I did last time when I was in this field. I said I had a weapon. Then I said, we don't even have no weapons. Here, I said, I don't even know if I want to do this. So my kid manages to grab down. He picks up this chuck a stick. He bangs it on. I think it was a maple tree hits like three times. We didn't hear anything. I said, see, that's not good, so he threw it down. We progressed up the trail. All of a sudden, there was three knocks off on the backside of hill that replied back to us. And my kids are like, what is that. I said, well, you wanted answers, there's your answer right there. So we kept on going and all of a sudden we heard this freaking howl. I mean it was like that guttural, deep, you know howl, like we were invading this territory and it was telling us to get out of there, and I do, kiss, let's go, I said, it's time ago, I said, I cannot believe after all these years these creatures are humanoids or what are their are still in this area. I mean, it's amazing to me. So it does show that they find dominant areas that live in. You know, if one was the food supplies there, water supplies there, and there's not much you know, tension put on them because the military on the site up till like two years ago, so nobody could come on it. You know, it was all locked off chain, gated up at the very entrance, so

11:21 nobody was coming in there. You know, we got it because the Parks made it accessible to go there, and that's the onlst reason why we were able to go back, because the Parks Department took it over. So yeah, So I just want to let you know, man, that was some crazy stuff, you know, seeing that when I was in the Marine Corps and all my buddies you know, and then coming back with my own kids and reliving almost the same thing that happened without seeing them, I think that is pretty significant. You know. I never believed in a million years that would happen. That's really cool. I'm glad that you were able to jump in and tell us that the rest of the story that just happened. So your buddies are out now too, then, yep? There, Well two of them stayed in. They re enlisted.

12:03 They want to be lifers. You know, I was in for oh I got out. I was sixteen years in. You know, it's just I don't know, I got out before all this conflict, what I ran in persionent, you know, Trump got going because I don't want to be no more part of stuff like that. Man. You know what I'm saying. I was in Iraq, in Afghanistan. I don't see the need of doing that no more, you know. I mean, you know, I've defending my country one time. I'm Afghanistan and Iraq, and I you know, I figured I've done enough of my services. But like I said, I always had that fault in the back of my head, you know, always did I really see what I saw? You know, even with all my other guys seeing that, you know, you still have that down in your mind because you don't see things that's eight to ten foot tall, you know, shoulders five foot wide, you know when it turns, his chest is almost three foot deep thick, you know, and the sounds they make, and then how quietly they can move off being so big.

13:00 We you know, we heard the female coming down behind us and they separated us. We could hear her. But once they've got in that blueberry field and they got ready to leave, you couldn't hear nothing, not a bird, not anything. I mean, it was almost like they were a ghost. They just like drifted themselves out of sight, you know, and it was like, wow, So yeah, I seen you over today. So I just want to come back on with you know, a little bit of follow up to it. We're going to continue to go out there and stuff. I'm gonna try to take some video stuff with them the next time, and I'm gonna take pictures of each prints and I'm gonna get some casts and I'm cast some of them if they're there, and I'd be glad to share them pictures and there's stories with you, you know, whenever I get them.

13:41 Absolutely, We'll keep in touch, Tim, And thank you for coming up and for sharing. Appreciate it, yes, or you have good day you too, all right? The story continues with Tim good to hear heyd, how's it going good to feel free to share what your experience was? Well, I got I got tons of them actually, Okay, if you want to ever check out the documentary and then it's The The Main Beast of Western New York. Oh yeah, dude, I love that one. You know Ryan, I've interviewed Ryan a few times. Have you? Yeah? Ryan reading? Yep?

14:23 Good? Yeah, it's I don't worry you want me to start. Yeah, I guess, UH feel free to. Usually when people have a few to share, they will go like in chronological order. Okay, minor, minor, just uh, I just wanted to call memories. I don't I don't have. Oh okay, yeah, that's fine too. Yeah, just whatever comes to mind. Yeah. I was uh watching my girls and uh at their mother's house, and I was coming out of the house and and it's kind of late, you know, it was all dark. I used to live on the reds down near Samka and come down off the porch, started walking to my truck and straight ahead at the end of the driveway across the road there was a big, old, eight hundred pound owl. I just made an owl sound and it was and it was deep, it was guttural, and it was you know, I don't even know if I could you do it now, but you know, it's just just a big and then you know, I stopped and I looked up and you know, it was pitch black, but I couldn't I couldn't see anything. So you know, I turned on my my truck, hit my truck unlocked, and you know, cautiously made my way to the truck, but you know, other times I was still down there

15:54 and waiting for their mother to get back. And full moons. Yeah, at night, you just go sit out on the deck and just be quiet and watch and you can see them actually move right through the woods. They're quiet, they don't make a sound, and you can see them because they're actually darker than the night. And you know, I love doing that, just sitting down there and watching them just walk right through. It was pretty amazing. Another one that was coming out of the house again and not even twenty feet one just started wood knocking on the side of the tree, and you know, it was about twenty of them, twenty knocks. And then I just stood there and I was looking and of course I couldn't see because of that night. And then across the road, just into the brush, there was another another one. I started knocking just about the same thing, about twenty times.

16:58 And then a couple of seconds later there's one that was across the other side of the road, back in the swamp, and the same thing just start pounding on the tree. So it was it's been very enlightening, say the least. And that's that's right on the edge of Alleghany all Alleghany State Park in New York. Right, yeah, yep, okay, cool, cool, cool, that's awesome. Actually I could go into Alleghany State Park. We got everything down there too. There's giants down there. There's uh it was a high hat down there, so there's a lot of things down there.

17:48 So there are people that see giants down in the state park. Yeah, I saw one. I was just coming. I was always and it was during the afternoon and it was just I came around the house and it was just a gray, gray cloud and it was probably about twenty feet tall, and then you could just it was just walking and walked. I didn't didn't care about anything that was in its way or nothing. It was just just gliding right right through. It wasn't a cloud because it was too low to the ground, but it was. I couldn't see too much detail, but it was just tall, like a giant.

18:39 How tall do you the bigs that you usually get there in your area? We got some pretty big ones, so I don't maybe I know at least eight foot. One of my great grandpa's was h it was a seventh quarter two. So there's there's a lot of tall jeans down there. I don't know where that comes from, but yeah, but maybe they floated down the Alleghany a little bit down to Ohio and. Into the mountains exactly. You'd mentioned the high hats. What are those?

19:23 Oh, high hat? That's that's uh, probably more of a supernatural being. When they were. Constructing the Kinzu dam, you know, they came through and burned everything and leveled everything and burned houses and stuff like that. And one report was, uh, a thing that was standing up on top of the mountain and a couple of people could see it, and they had a high hat, you know, one of those big hats, you know, six eight inches tall, you know, and you had some pretty sharp teeth. There's a whole, the whole story on that too on YouTube. You have to look that up too.

20:15 Nice Okay, yeah, definitely I have a feeling a lot of people check that out. Are there a lot of big foot encounters that happened in that the area that we're looking at, the Salamanca area. Yeah, Seamerica, Alleghany State Park, just all around and then even when I was in when I used to live in Lakawana, New York. It's outside of burning some tobacco and the same thing. It's the big black figure just walked right across at the end of the driveway. It's like, oh, you guys came all the way up here to see me.

20:55 Wow. Wow Wow. Have most of the encounters that you've had, have they been peaceful with big Foot? Or there been any that have not been peaceful? Every everyone's been peaceful. I don't, I think because ever since long time ago, I don't know. I guess it just kind of grew up with them being in the woods all the time and nothing, nothing never scared me. You know, I couldn't stay out in the woods all day, even into the night, and nothing would bother me. You know. I used to go hunting in all black a couple of times, and uh, you know, nothing, nothing would bother me. So, yeah, all of my ecommerce has been peaceful. And you know, I mean, yeah, if it comes around a tree and scares me, you know, I might get scared. But even oh we went hunting one time and I got dropped off at part of the logging road and my oh friend there, he went down further in the four wheeler.

22:08 He said, I'm gonna push anything and everything up this way. There was you know, logging. I had a clear and shoot shoot whatever comes through, and said, okay, so you know you can hear him go down the road, shut the four wheeler off, and he sent sent me a text said okay, I'm gonna start walking this way pushing stuff. And so I said, okay, So I'm just sitting there, sitting there looking around. You know, nothing that's nice and clear, you know, nothing out of the ordinary, and then send me another texts, gah, I'm getting closer. They didn't come shoot use me. So I started moving a little bit closer up the road and uh, there's a there's a gully there, And then all of a sudden, I started hearing this this little growl started noticing it, and you know, I didn't. I didn't think anything of it. Maybe, you know, maybe like a little raccoon or something, you know, or actually they introduced the fishers back into the wild there, so I thought maybe as one of them, you know, And so I moved a little bit closer, tried to investigate it, and it got louder, and so I just stopped and I listened, and then I went further again, and then they started getting real loud, and all of a sudden, off to my left, about a couple of yards, a couple of ten yards, all of a sudden you heard trees and leaves and everything starting to break, and it was a baby fawn that rolled out of somewhere

23:44 like a bowling ball, got up, stopped, and uh just walked off into the woods. And by then whatever was in that gully was gone. And you could the atmosphere and you know that was gone too, you know, the coming up closer and closer and closer. That was gone. So then I just walked right up to the gully and then there was nothing there. So actually that was there was three of them, which I believe was three of them, And it goes on to later and I'll tell you another one. A couple of years later. I was coming out again at the house at night, and it was during one of those supermoons, so it was really light, and you didn't you didn't you had to, you know, hey, you're un locked truck button to see where you're going. And all of a sudden I heard a noise off to my left and it was branch breaking.

24:46 I turned and looked, and there was two of them that were looked like the same age and then there was another one that was just a little bit smaller, maybe like the next year. But the first two we're big, and all of a sudden it was it was actually just like the Predator. They shivered and you could see the oh what is it? What do you want to call it? It's not parallelograms maybe or it looked just looked like crystals, and they just shimmered. They shimmered down and it just went from their head all the way down. And then after that I could not see them. I could just see the outline, but I think that was from the moon. And then after they did it, the the third one, the smaller, a little bit smaller one did it the same thing. And so I was just sitting there. I was trying to look, trying to concentrate to see them, but I couldn't see anything. And then up farther past them, another branch broke broke my concentration because I thought, may or maybe something something else is coming.

25:57 And then after that they were gone, and you know, you couldn't you couldn't hear him or seeing him. That is, do you have any anything anything? Are there any any portal down there? Oh? Yeah, yeah, there's they got the Actually the witches walk down there, down along the Allegheny River. There's there's uh lots of portal stories. There's portals, there's orbs. I got a good orbs story. I was out, I had the kids, brought the kids homes, taking the dog out right at the end of the driveway, and these two probably a basketball sized, white orbs go flying over my head and you can hear them. It's just like m and they go off into the woods and across the road and it's like a it's a they logged it.

26:59 But there was back there, so there's you know, there's no way to get a car back there, or you know, even barely a bicycle. But those orbs they went into the woods. And then all of a sudden, I seen this about four foot by eight foot shimmering like piece of plywood, and it started to move across the woods, and but it was it wasn't on the ground, it was moving in the sky. And after that I was like, no, I think I'll not get adducted today, and tear her on and went back inside.

27:39 Wow, that is wild. So are people walking through portals in that area or or what are they running into? Sometimes people have seen them. They've opened up down there and they've closed down there. You know. I like that when somebody somebody said, you know, if you find a nice tree, youve been over the end. Where the top of the tree meets the ground is where the portals start. Okay, interesting, I've never heard that. That's really cool. Wow. I appreciate you coming up and sharing some stories about this area. I hear a lot from Alleghany National Forest, but never from the State Park in New York. So I appreciate you coming up.

28:27 Yep, yep, yeah. If you want to do more, we can. And you know, all right, I will make sure to follow you and maybe send you a message later someday. Thank you. Okay a day.

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 or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet. If you're 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,

31:26 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.
