00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.839
You're listening to Big the Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron.
2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.639
In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to
3
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.400
bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've
4
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:12.759
seen something impossible. From backwoods trails in remote mountain haulers
5
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.719
to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,
6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.719
and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.
7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.000
These are the voices of the people who've lived it.
8
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.440
To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that
9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.120
just might change the way you see the woods forever.
10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.240
So stay with us, all right, I pick the Society.
11
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.479
You've got the privilege of talking to Chet today. Chet
12
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.880
is an individual from out there in Massachusetts who I
13
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.799
reached out to in the YouTube comments on a recent
14
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:48.039
Massachusetts episode, and I believe it was specifically episode nine
15
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.240
oh six where we talked to a witness from Agawam
16
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:57.359
about a white creature that she saw galloping on all
17
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.520
fours across Schools Street in Agawam, and Chat, I believe
18
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.519
had left a very interesting comment. I reached out and
19
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.799
so we were thankfully connected. But welcome to the show. Chat,
20
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:09.719
how are you doing today?
21
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.159
I'm doing good man. Glad to be here and have
22
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:14.560
a platform to speak about it.
23
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.560
Absolutely. I always like to mention that I did grow
24
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.000
up in western Massachusetts. It was up in Franklin County
25
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.519
and Northfield. So if any listeners are listening to this
26
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.159
and know about stuff around Northfield to do with Bigfoot,
27
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:31.079
reach out to me please. It's a Bigfoot Society gmail
28
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.799
dot com. But down in your area, there's more and
29
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:40.200
more stuff coming out recently on the show everywhere from
30
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.400
Cobble Mountain. We talked to the Vogel Brothers recently, and
31
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:48.439
then we just mentioned this siting in Agoam that was
32
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:52.040
referred to, and I'm really interested to hear what you
33
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:55.480
had experienced in this area as well, Chet, So I'm
34
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.120
going to go ahead and pass things over to you.
35
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.519
Feel free to take us through what you experienced that
36
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:03.200
day and then we will chat about it.
37
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.719
Yeah, absolutely, thank you, thank you. So Yeah, listen to
38
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:09.639
the one you had on a few weeks back about
39
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.360
the woman in Agawam on School Street. This happened to
40
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.680
me probably, I think it was twenty ten or eleven,
41
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:18.759
and I believe hers was two thousand and nine. But
42
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:20.719
I just maybe want to talk about it. But I
43
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.319
was driving from She knows that area, and I'm sure
44
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.719
you might know someone of that area. Franklin County does
45
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.479
have a lot of wooded areas around there too, by
46
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.560
the way, I've been up there plenty of times. But yeah,
47
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.919
I was driving home. I lived in Southook at the time,
48
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.599
and I was passing through Agawam, the Feeding Hills area.
49
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.000
The people in Nagawam probably understand that. But I was
50
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.759
on the highway. I was on fifty seven and probably
51
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:43.479
like five six car lanks ahead of me. There was
52
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:44.840
no one in front of me with this one car,
53
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.599
but it was about five six cars ahead of me,
54
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:49.479
and it was a nighttime. I was driving with my friend,
55
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:51.919
and like the highways, I think it was like a
56
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:53.719
three lane highway at that point. No, it turns to
57
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:55.879
a two lane on each side. It starts off as
58
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.039
a three and about halfway down the highway there's some
59
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:02.520
wooded areas on both sides. Out of nowhere, seemingly we're
60
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:06.039
driving to Southwick area from like the Springfield area. Out
61
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.520
of nowhere, like in front of us, we see on
62
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.439
the media and this giant creature. I don't know what
63
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:13.960
it was. It didn't look like a bear didn't look
64
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.479
like a moose. It was probably in between those sizes.
65
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:18.719
It was bigger than the front of the car. So
66
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:22.240
it pops out of the median, jumps and runs across
67
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:23.840
the highway. The car in front of us had to
68
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.479
completely swerve out of the way. I'm talking like dramatically swerve,
69
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.560
cut the wheel and they regained themselves, but they kept
70
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:32.800
going and all that, and me and my friend were
71
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.120
like in shock. This thing like galloped on. It seemed
72
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.439
like an all fours. The back end was like higher
73
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:43.000
than the front end. It didn't. It was a lot
74
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.120
bigger than a bear. It was in between the sides
75
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:46.599
of a bear and a moose. And when it came
76
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.000
out of nowhere, the car swerved around it, and it
77
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.439
just galloped across the highway and flew into the woods
78
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.599
next to us, and me and my friend were just
79
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.840
in shock. I honestly wish I caught up to that
80
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.719
car up there to maybe try to flag them down
81
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.360
and ask them what it was. But yeah, that's pretty
82
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:03.960
much the story. It's not a lot. But when I
83
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.240
heard that woman's story, I was I was curious to
84
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.599
see where it was, and she said School Street, which
85
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:10.919
is near there. Obviously it's the same agone as a
86
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.360
small town, but yeah, it made me think of that.
87
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.840
And it wasn't like white, though it was definitely a
88
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.439
darker color it was. It seemed like a dark gray
89
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.600
to me. The way it galloped across, like the back
90
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.120
end was like higher than the front end, and it
91
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.160
had like a strange gait to it, like it wasn't
92
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.879
a bear. The thing was fast. It wasn't like it
93
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.680
wasn't like lightning fast like a lot of the stories
94
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.839
I hear about people saying they gallop through here there
95
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.959
in the short amount of time. But it was fast.
96
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:40.160
It definitely wasn't. I don't I really don't even know
97
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.279
what it was. I can't even explain it. It was
98
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:43.839
the craziest thing I ever seen, and me and my
99
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.040
friend were in shock about it. And I actually called
100
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.240
him like last week to ask him if he remember this,
101
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.519
and he was like, oh yeah, he told me thinks
102
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.759
about it all the time. And I asked him like
103
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.399
all the same, like everything about what he saw, and
104
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.199
it was everything I saw. So all of our details
105
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.639
lined up, and so we both saw the thing and
106
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:04.959
I just no idea what it was. It was massive,
107
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:06.800
It was massive, and it was just the way it
108
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.439
galloped like it was very strange, very strange, and it
109
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.240
was gone in an instant once it across the highway.
110
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.199
And the strange thing is we didn't even see it
111
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:16.920
come from the other side too. It just all of
112
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:18.879
a sudden, and neither did the car in front of us.
113
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.079
All of a sudden, it just popped out and the
114
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.519
car had to cut the wheel to go around it,
115
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:25.839
and the thing just kept galloping across and it was
116
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.519
gone in the woods. And it's only it's like us,
117
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.800
a little small section of woods, but I know Robinson
118
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.120
State Park is over there in Agaalam, which is pretty big.
119
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.639
And then you go further towards the Southwick area you
120
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:40.959
get to Grandville, definitely some miles away, but you go
121
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:44.079
from Agalon to Southwick to Grandville and it's all massive
122
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.959
amounts of woods up there. But that's pretty much my story.
123
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:49.920
It's nothing crazy, it's not a lot, it's not a
124
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:54.759
big story, but it was definitely interesting and I never
125
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.279
left my mind. I've been thinking about it all the time,
126
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.680
and hearing her story from aga about the white albino
127
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.959
that was really really interesting. Just maybe want to talk
128
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:07.079
about it a check.
129
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:11.040
That's some wild stuff, man. I would love to go
130
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:15.160
over some things just to get a better viewpoint of
131
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.439
where this happened in the Agawam area. Do you think
132
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.040
it was? So was it near Robinson where you were
133
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.680
driving or if you.
134
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:26.079
Have I don't know if you have, if you're on
135
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:27.879
a laptop or anything, or if you can pull up
136
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.199
a map real quick if you google, I guess you
137
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.160
can just google Agaalam Mass and you can go over
138
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.399
to the highway area. It's right on fifty highway is
139
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.279
fifty seven. It's definitely north of it. It was definitely
140
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:44.360
running in that direction. So just Henry bouderta Hall Highway,
141
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.959
Henry eboderta Highway. Do you see that? Let me take
142
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:51.560
a look here, like it's one of the moon roads
143
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:55.560
or yes, so that that is fifty seven. Yep, that's
144
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.600
the highway I was on. So if you look to
145
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.319
the north of that, like northwest a little bit, you'll
146
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:06.240
see like Robinson State Park. Yes, so that's where the
147
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:10.560
park is. But so he was I was like literally
148
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.439
like southeast of that, like slightly before the end of
149
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.160
the highway, and it came across from the south and
150
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.680
was going north up towards that way. I guess it's
151
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:20.920
a little ways away, and you can see there's no
152
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.959
wooded area. There's a little small wooded area actually right
153
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.639
off the side of the highway and that's literally that's
154
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.279
like where we were. But look, if you could see it,
155
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.639
that's a small area. If you got the terrain set
156
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:34.360
on your map, you can see like the wooded area
157
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:36.879
in the middle of that stretch of the highway, okay,
158
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.680
and that's where it was, like literally in between there.
159
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:42.519
It came from the south part of the woods and
160
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.360
went to the north and it's just a small wooded
161
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:48.600
area past that. I guess it's like between you can
162
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:52.519
see the Garden Street and the Mill Street exits, gotcha,
163
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.040
and you can travel if you travel south from there,
164
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.720
you can see there's woods and there's like a line
165
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.639
of woods. But whatever it was could have came through
166
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:02.800
all that, but it was going north and if you
167
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:05.720
look north, it's all like neighborhoods. There's small sections of
168
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:07.720
wood until you get to Robinson State Park, which is
169
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:08.240
right there.
170
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.040
Yes, I okay, I totally see it. Now I'm on
171
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.519
on X and I'm able to see it a lot
172
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.959
better then. Yeah, there's a lot of little kind of
173
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.720
wooded areas on either side of the highway.
174
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.160
Yeah. So if you can see where the high school is,
175
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.040
do you see the high school on your map, Aglon
176
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:32.639
High School? Yeah? So south of that, like southwest, southwest
177
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.279
of that a little bit like where the highways all
178
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:38.080
surrounded by woods. That's where we were. So he if
179
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.679
you follow that south, you can see there's wooded areas
180
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.440
where he could have came from, or he or shere
181
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.120
or whatever. But and then if you go further north,
182
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.279
which is the direction it was going, there are little
183
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.440
patches until you get to State Park and it was nighttime.
184
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:55.720
I just it's so weird. I don't know where he
185
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.240
would have gone or come from. It's not it's not
186
00:08:58.279 --> 00:08:59.519
like a crazy wooded.
187
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:01.639
Area really makes a lot of sense when you look
188
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.039
at it with that particular view. It lines up with
189
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.399
exactly the other stories that you hear from other major
190
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.679
cities about like the green belts or the sections of
191
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:19.399
wood that Bigfoot or other animals could follow into a city,
192
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.639
or in this case, trying to get to a larger
193
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:27.399
area like Robinson State Park where you have the Westfield
194
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.200
River as well. So that's pretty cool. Thank you for
195
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:31.039
walking me through there.
196
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:34.519
Yeah, And if you look further north, like towards the
197
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.559
State park, like pretty much the road that runs like
198
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.360
west and eat to east or whatever, that's North Street
199
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.039
right where that woman said she I think she said
200
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:44.039
it was North Street right.
201
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:45.759
Let me check on my.
202
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:49.399
I'm sorry, yep.
203
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:53.000
So School Street is over over by the Connecticut River
204
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:58.639
across from Forest Park. What time of day was that sighting?
205
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:02.399
Again? It was about eight thirty nine o'clock at night.
206
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:08.360
It was dark out. It was like summertime, definitely, remember that. Yeah,
207
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.279
it was dark out, but we could see the thing
208
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:14.279
like like to me, my friend said, he remembers it
209
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:16.919
being black. I remember being like a dark gray, like
210
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.360
it was offset from the background of the dark the
211
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.679
dark out. It stood out not like a glow to it,
212
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:24.840
but because of the color, like I could see like
213
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.320
the whole everything. It was like five the car was
214
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:30.480
like five six like lengths of a car ahead of us,
215
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:38.080
And that's that's how far away it was. But and
216
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:41.320
then the back end stood up like higher than the
217
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.600
hood of the car, like actually the whole thing did.
218
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.279
But the back end was like real definitely probably like
219
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.000
a foot or two above the hood, and the front
220
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:49.960
end of it was still above the hood too. You
221
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:53.000
can see it just galloped across.
222
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.320
Okay, so you see gallop across. Both parts front and
223
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.000
back are above your hood. What's the car that you're
224
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:01.960
driving again.
225
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.240
I was driving a Mazda three like a little I guess.
226
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.440
I guess the Dan and the car in front of me.
227
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:10.919
I remember it because it was it was one of
228
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:16.399
those Subaru wagons like the Foresters. Okay, I just remember it.
229
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.480
I remember clear today because I just it's rained in
230
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:21.799
my head and I remember the whole thing.
231
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.320
Let's see five to six car lengths that would probably
232
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.639
be well like seventy five ninety feet you think.
233
00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:37.480
Yeah, definitely is definitely I would say, yeah, that's accurate. Okay, definitely,
234
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.120
no more than one hundred feet away.
235
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.799
So you're seeing the profile of it definitely as it's
236
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.399
running across the road. How many seconds in all do
237
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.519
you think what you saw took?
238
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:55.279
Maybe four or five seconds tops go. I'm just trying
239
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:57.000
to map and think about it. Yeah, it had to
