The Bigfoot That Took the Calf — and Came Back for More!

0:00 You're listening in Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron Tonight's story isn't from a camper or a researcher with trailcams. It's from Don Yazzy, a man raised on Navajo nationland where Bigfoot isn't just a mystery. He's a predator, a protector, and sometimes something much worse. Don shares what it's like growing up where the windows shake at night, where dogs vanish without a trace, and where a nine foot tall, red haired creature can steal a calf in front of your family. But this story isn't just fear and folklore. It's cultural memory, sacred teachings, and the reason Navajo kids are still told to not whistle at night. This is a story of Don Yazzy and the Sasquatch that never left. So stay with us, all right, Bigfoot Society, You've got the privilege of talking to Don Yazzy today. Don is a Bigfoot gripted researcher from the Navajo Nation. He's also a researcher with Jevnig Research. You may have heard of William Jevnig before. He also is the host of the Don't Whistle at Night podcast. You may have heard Don a few times before, maybe once or twice. We've talked over on the TikTok platform, So depending on how you listen to the podcast, you may have heard a few chats with Don, but it's a pleasure to have him on the show today for an extended chat to Don.

1:15 How's it going, man? Oh? Not too not too bad, man, not too bad? How about you doing well? Just hanging out in Iowa talking about Bigfoot, waiting for the weather to get a little bit warmer, but we'll be there before we know it. No snow at least, so that's a good thing, but that's good. No tornadoes that No tornadoes. Those are coming late April, so we'll we'll cross our fingers on that. But we got a few of those. Don. We were talking before the beginning of the podcast, and since we have a time for you know, to to really dive into it, I think it would be great if you'd be to go back as far back as you need to when all this started for you, so we can get the whole picture of of your interactions with with Bigfoot over the years.

2:13 Please, Oh yeah, why not? Yeah? I would I would love to share so So the story back then, you know, was always telling us to stay inside at night. Whenever the sun goes down, that's our time to not wander around at night. And if you need to go out at night, you know, only only the men were allowed to be out and about, especially in the unce a time because you know these uh yay, So we will call him, you know, sasquatch bigfoot. Yeah, he will come around and take the women and children. So stories goods back as far as far as time you're created along with him. At one point in time, they almost consumed all of us, all corners of the world, these bigfoots, they almost ate all of us. So if you were to look in the continents, every continent has their own species of sasquatch. So you know, as time went along, we had two warriors that went in, you know, turned the tides and hunt them all down. They hunt them all down deep into the grand canyons, deep within the earth, and they had pity. They allowed them to live. They made a deal with them down there. The days for us, the night is for you. You're the children of the night, were the children of the day. Let's have respect for each other. That's not let anything like this happen again

3:46 because the life is sacred, and they was the weapon that they used to go on the fence against all these different species of sasquatches there were. There was not only one, there were many of them public more than twenty as the culture stories hazard. And so they would and bury their weapon underneath the Samuon river. The two warriors you know, shot out lightning into the magic boat the creator and gave it to them. So, you know, as time went along, we always had stories of them coming at night screaming. You know, the older sister or the older sibling would be hiding his his younger siblings, you know, be hiding their family members while they would get taken. You know, it would be prefectly. The younger female would get taken all the time, and we would going into you know, as a child, you know, hearing something trying to get into the trailers, trying to get into the house, the hold on the octagon. You'll be hearing something running on the roof, hitting the doors. You know, you're hearing all the dogs fighting, the dogs crying, and then there'll be no dogs and something trying to get in and the stay he would wake up and he would find dogs. You know, some of them will be dead and some of them will be ripped up. You know, we would never find blood because the blood will be drinked.

5:12 And we missed all of our livestocks slowly. We were just like a so like we were a grocery store. And you know, there's a lot of times that they tried taking my grandmother, my great grandmother. You know, they'd be coming around at nighttime, hitting the doors, trying to get in. And I had my uncle, you know, he came in from off the reservation. He stayed there, and you know he he left the window open a little bit and he was in his closet with his with his dog, and this thing came and tried to come in the window. Said he can only fit his head and shoulders or one shoulders. And this thing was all black, had black hair. We went reaching like almost halfway into the room. This trailer is from the eighties to old trailer, possibly seventies. So this thing could not get in, but it stuck its head in. He said that it looked like a gorilla, huge monkey. He threw his dog at it.

6:11 They were fighting out there and he by the time he made it to the front door. We seen the harry bean and his dog rolling the truck. And then by the time he got his light ready and his gun ready, the dog started crying. The dog came out and this this big foot, this gorilla looking thing was already running like about probably one hundred yards down the road fast. He said, this thing was heavy. He was moving quick. And he amed hish hish thirty thirty rifle, probably about a quarter of a mile down the way where his heel the last hill that drops down to a deep wash, and that wash drains all the way down to.

6:52 Make a powell. So he knew where this thing was going to the wash and he time to just right. He let go, you know, he let release the trigger, and he said, the bullet on his way, and he heard a loud connection, allowed huge thud, and he said, this bullet started whistling. This bullet caught was like on fire. It seemed like it was on fire. It was spiraling up in the air. And he said he heard a cell like a woman screaming, like a horrible, horrible screaming death. And it collapsed. He would hear it collapse, get up in as it's running. He can hear it still running and collapsing and screaming, running until you know, disappear into the night and to the wash. And we do have a cave near my great grandmother's residence. In that cave, you know, it's really unexplored. They tell us to stay away from there. So we do have a lot of activities coming from that cave ever since I can remember.

7:56 It's when the stories goes that it's a hollow entrants and these Sasquatches take it. And there's a lot of tones that go deep underneath the nabahination And if you were to go explore deep into there, you would find clothing, you would find moccasins, you would find different kind of weapons from different error, from different times, from different you know, they have the stacks of bone, stacks of uh you know what what have you down there, toys even down there. So something is taking things from the surface and going within the earth. So, you know, leading up to into my first encounter growing up, I hate eighteen, I had some family coming from off the nab donation and there was a there was seven of us, seven of us and two of them were female my aunts. Then uh, four of them were my relative, and we started hiking around twelve o'clock and how Cheetah Utah area, twelve o'clock at night. And within thirty minutes of our hike out there in the back the back of the back the roads, we're trying to get to a main wash where it goes into the San Juan River. It was a summer night, and within thirty minutes we heard these screams, these howlings and shoutings, these stranger vocalizations that you know, we had

9:28 never heard before in our life. And and you know, we shinned a flash like that way we seen these huge eyes. You know, I thought it was on a hill, probably like about a mile away. I thought it was cougar about get and I started walking towards it wasn't you know, each within every yard this thing was pasty because I can tell it would stop and look at us with his eyes, and he walked back and forth. This thing would walk back and forth and stop and look at me, and we'd walk back and forth again, and it be making strange vocalizations. And I got within sixty yards and then the only reason why I thought it was over the heel over yonder is because all the soil is red. They're just red. There's no vegetation, just little you know, gray bushes here and there. And I realized that was the heel within sixty yards in front of me, and was standing on the other side of the heel. And this thing was huge, and it had the red hair, and it had huge amber eyes that was as huge as a softball, huge even the softball like my fists, so thisting was had huge you know, like a dombhead. It looked like I was looking at him apply with you know, I don't know if you ever seen that the old Looney To movies were this huge hairy being with eyes that you know, runs after bugs, buddy his red hair. So that's what I was looking at,

11:00 something like that, you know, And all old memories struck up, you know, within the struggles of the ancient past, you know from the history. You know from my ancestral lines that it was working an old struggle, you know, like an old story. Place had Again that I am unfamiliar, but I have memories, you know, that strange feeling that I was listening, stopping and staring at me, and I started swaying back and forth and just started swaying quickly, and I was doing the round moreheads. Uh, Sierra sounds one of the vocalization where it's yelling like a like a woman screaming and paing, you know, on agony. And you know, I stopped in my tracks there because I the whole time I was walking, I thought I was a skinwalker Native American, which which witch doctor. So you know, I realized, I said, this is a you know, what came to my mind was this is a monster. You know, this is a beast. You know, I hate to call it that, but that's what my brain came the only answer, you know, And I turned around. This thing took steps backwards behind the other side of the hand. That stopped where I can only see its eyes and its cone head, you know, staring at me for a couple of seconds, and it went behind the heel and I went to my family, you know, every every yard, I try to

12:30 figure out what I was going to say, you know, and you know, I try not to look visibly shaking, shake, shooking, you know, and to them, they were staring at me. That's almost a bobcat. You know. Let's keep going. And we continued on our trip. The whole time. I didn't share it with I seen. I didn't share it with him anything, because I was still struggling to find answers myself. Because the whole area is my back roads, you know, I know that area in the back of my hand I run. Then there are roads with no you know, no full moon. You know, you barely have the stars. I can run those roads by heart. That's how well I know that. Two rains, so you know, I couldn't.

13:16 You know, a lot of things was going through my mind, and this thing was stalking us. It was up on the heels behind us. I can hear this thing around us. Well, my family were, you know, oblivious. They're too busy asking me which way to go, you know, and they're talking, they're speaking amongst themselves, you know, laughing, And the whole time I was quiet, huge eyes looking in the dark. And you know, it turned to three o'clock four moments. Notice this was two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight, the year, and I didn't have the cell phone at the time, and we're a going I had to get out, get out of the wash, and we got back on the main dirt road, and I think all the attentions kind of went down, and he kind of got a little relaxed. We started to see the community lights in hel Cheetah, and we're abound to buy this uranium rocket.

14:18 We're about to approach it, and we're about this huge bin. And the youngest family member he was like about fourteen years old. He you know, he was the smallest, the skinniest one. He was a trouble maker. So he got like fifty yards ahead of me. He turned the bend around this curve and you know, I was first long, you know, and then he took over and I looked up. He turned the corner. I looked down, you know, to look at my footing because we only had one flashlight. And I looked up and I just seen him flying towards me with his eyes wide open. His mouth was wide open, and he was running. Would look like if you ever seen Toys story, will you wait whit he runs?

15:05 You know, So he looked just like that, running towards me, and he tackled me and he was he was shaken, you know, he was screaming and he was holding me tight and he I asked him, what did what did you see? Tell me, what did you see what happened. What happened was going on and he was telling me. He's like, I said, yeah, gloci, I've seen a yan glaci and that means skinwalker. I seen a skinwalker. And I told him, you know, tell me what did you see? What did? What do it look like? I need to know and I need to know. And he finally told me. He said it was running towards him. When he turned the corner ahead of us on the dirt road, this thing was running towards him on all fours and it was reaching out with his huge hend. He said, it look like we were ranguting. And he turned around. He ran back towards us, back around the curvedness when he tackled me, and so does he finished that sentence. I started running down on that road where he came, and I had a cousin a year younger than I. He joined me. He got around that corner. As we're running, we ran into this wall of a stitch foul smell.

16:22 Whatever a skinwalker is around, you can tell the smell of them, and then whenever a bigfoot is around, the smell both of their smells are quite distinct. And because bigfoot smells more of a like a you know, urine feces, futured smell, and even blood. And then the skin walkers they smell of death, like a dead king body that's already been dead, like a graveyard because they use oil and fat from dead people. They rub all them over themselves. That's why you can tell the different smells between them. So the was a bigfoot smell and we looked up.

17:04 You know, we can see the city, the community light, the lights from the community of the hill, and this thing was already up on top. It went up on a huge heel. That's very impossible for human to climb up or run up because it's steep and very small red rock, very slippery. But this guy no problem for him, and we started making our way back home. You know, we never spoke of that ever again, and you pushed that to the back of our minds until the year twenty seventeen. I started listening to the podcasts and that's when it came across Ron mooreheads Yer Sounds, and you know, listening to that that really sent chills down my spine.

17:56 It really, you know, validated every in my siding, the noise ere since I was a child. What's going on, and the stories the old ones would tell each other and try to tell us children not to listen. They would always take you know, try to take good care of us. So we want to be snatched up by these things. And you know, going into twenty seventeen, my wife's from a h this area I'm not going to give away in the Navo Nation. You know, she's from areas high elevation and has multiple water springs. And while we're married, I'm married into there. And you know, we would visit my other brother in laws regularly. You know, we would help each other out, you know, haul water.

18:43 You know, we all cooked together, make sure everyone's fed, take care of each other like that. And we didn't see one of her brother, her brothers for three days, and we went to go visit one of his aunts that lived next to him, and she's like, did did he show you? You know, your brother show you the picture he took? And she was like no. My wife's like no. And my aunt, her my in law, she said that he took a picture of bigfoot, a huge black bigfoot, and he's next door. Go go see it, Go see it. And we left her house. He went over to her brother's house and took a while to answered the door. And when he answered it, you know, he was he was a little skittish. He was looking around the entire time. He would he didn't want to come out of his house. He was looking around. He was a little fidgety, he was nervous. And we asked him, you have that picture, you know, Antsy told Usa he took a picture of Sasquatch that was up on the waterfall.

19:47 It was just waterfall from the spring up there, and he said he deleted it, and I told him, We asked him why. He said that he took a picture. Listen those three days of those pictures every night and to hear a dream of Sasquatch getting closer to him every night. And the third night, you know, Bigfoot, he's looking in his window. These are all dreams checking the door, watching him sleep. And you see, woke up from that third night there he deleted the picture and those nightmare stopped, and you know, we were a little upset, you know, And what we did was we threw him in our vehicle and we drove up to the mountain and we went to the waterfall and we asked him what happened.

20:35 He told us there was more to the story that went on while while he was filling his water. He's a water canteens. He said, well, the waterfall drops off, you've seen a huge hairy red arm, you know, just swinging around from the bottom. He was looking at the water. Why am I seeing a red hairy arm. He got his phone out to get ready to kick a picture, and he noticed beyond the waterfall, over on the other hill on there was a huge black sasquatch sitting there on a huge boulder. This boulder is sudden foot seven foot by twelve foot block boulder. I measured it, and he said that the sasquatch was sitting on that boulder like a little folded chair. And just then the sasquatch reached up to a cedar tree and broke off a huge branch. This bridge was eight feet in linked. He said, this branch looked like a like a twig to him, and it reached over and he grabbed a twig in front of him and he snapped that whole branch in half to show him like, you know, this is how strong I am. You know this is what I'm going to do to you, And you know when that happened, he was taking pictures. After the huge tree snat he just threw all his water canteens back in his vehicle and he piled off. He high tailed it out there, and that's one of his nightmares began. And you know,

22:08 as soon as he got them telling us that, my wife and Ivy went to the bottom of the waterfall. My wife's really good at tracking as well. She found a side sixteen inch tracks and the size of the twelve inch tracks. So we're looking at the tracks. It was a mama and a little one taking a bath underth the waterfall, and I went over to where the huge one was was sitting and I found twenty three inch tracks, you know, the huge tracks. You know, the width of this thing was just amazing, and you know, I started tracking him from there. Each stride he took was six foot and he started moving to every every movement, every stride that he was taking was increased. My face sheet it went on. You know, this guy started flying running and I lost him on the rock and you know, because it was right around the mesa and we went back to the waterfall. We started tracking seventeen and the twelve inch tracked them for about a mile and a half and on the other side of the Mesa, here comes the twenty three inch track coming the dad. They all meet together, all three, and they started walking a ride up to the ridge of the mountain. You can see the track going all the way through the snow, all the way to the ridge because you know, it was still snowing on the mountain and there was still

23:40 snow in the mountain from the previous day or two. And we can see the track going all the way up to this cave. They have their own cave that they taken and every now and then we try to we take pictures from the bottom and you would see a huge human lunch figure in the cake walking around. You would see them sit there, move around, a huge you know, Suggie dark being. And you know that's where the trails went to. Is that cave? Mhmm. You know from there, I started listening to sasquatch chronicles, you know, hearing the howls the screams around that community every night.

24:27 You know, one night, heard this long, long scream and you know, I jumped up out of bed. You know, I got all the weapons out, I got the sword, I got the steer, I got the shield, I got the twenty two. I have the nunchucks out. You know, I was, I was, I was, you know, hysterical. My wife was there, she didn't she was just staring at me. I was like, where is we need more guns? We need more guns. Where does your dad have? Where does your dad keep his higher caliber rifles? The things coming, you know, because this on the creek that we used to living at the cab because creek that he would take all the time. And her her father knows of it too. So every morning he would go to the to the gate line and pray, or he would throw leftovers at that creek for for Sasquatch and he would and tell me, you know, years of being around there helping him out, he finally told me until after years later, that bigfoot does walk around. He's seeing his eyes a lot at that creek. It's just like about within twenty fifty yards from the house. That's how close that creek is. So, you know, I started listening to Sasquatch chronicles and you know, William Javelins stood out. You know, it's a more knowledgeable person about these bakfoot and maybe he could help me, you know, that's why I so I was thinking, and

25:57 you know he edit know, he started Creek Devil and that's when I first made contact with anybody and I started working for working with William jevilin collabing with him, you know, learning so much from him, you know, unlocking the unlocking the mysteries Sasquatch, that these guys can be tracked, these guys who would be signed signs, these guys can be can be found, you know, once you once you figure out how to find them, and that's when everything falls in place, the evidence consistency, if everything, that's when everything starts unlocking. I'll find the nests, you'll find scat and then you'll find witnesses across the NAP nation. And that's when I started doing my own investigating. Since twenty seventeen, I started collabing Wholing Jevin like about two thousand and twenty twenty two, twenty twenty one, around there after COVID because around the community where I'll stay at the time, there were dogs going missing and people were reporting the screaming every night. And you know, there's evidence everywhere, and all these washes were hot spots, and where I started going investigating myself around these maces, and I found my own tracks, my own footprints, and my own locations where they would make a mess. And that's when I realized

27:28 that all across an Affirmation is a hotspot. And I started finding all these weakness testimonials of a mother, a father, bigfoot, and two babies around this community. They would go to these houses where they would have no street lights. You know, that was one of the answers to these big Foot welcome and knowledge back then. If you get these street lights, that'll keep sasquatchally, he wouldn't bother you. But if you don't have any street lights, like how I was raised, he would come close. He would watch you. You know, he would he'd take the chicken, he'd take the lambs, he would take the goats, he would take the calves, and he'll take the colts, all the babies first, and he would wear work his way up and then following the dogs the last night in defense. And after that he'll take the woman if it's the grandma. Only there.

28:33 You know, he'll be trying to get in. You know, he has a strange obsession, strange strange creature. I'll tell you that. And and this one family. Remember he's married into this this other area where it's really rule and sparsely populated, just like all in Acclamation. And this is one day as they're tanking their ches at the ranch, he said, all these dogs started bucking and he's seen this huge big foot red hair. He said, it was over nine feet tall. This scene came up and stepped over the five foot tall corral and walked into calf.

29:17 He said, where this calf is height, where it's back his five feet, This calf was trying to run from him, and listen, caloset. He kicked it up, he said. As he picked it up, he broke its neck. He said he heard a huge snap, and you know, the whole family, his an laws were all around the watching this thing. And he said the sasquatch threw the calf over his shoulders and stepped back over the corral. And after that happened, they all, you know, stared at each other and they realized they gathered themselves. They mounted up and they got their rifles, their dogs, and they started on his trail insteaded following him. They fall off for like about nine miles to this other mesa. This mesa is isolated than all.

30:11 The Mesa's huge, huge mesa, and it has its own water system. Water goes into the Mesa, so it's a strange mesa. And it's the Mesa that has places where witchcraft people that had the switch pat they gather in there. And not only that, is also an et activity above the Mesa all the time. And Beekfoot has its own caves at the north mouth of the Mesa. The south mouth is for the skinwalkers, okay, so you know it's common knowledge in the area. And so they tracked them to that north entrance where the water flows into the Mesa.

30:55 As they're getting into the to the deeper into the cave, this smell stinchy death was just getting greater stronger with every step that. They all made an agreement to turn around because you know, the smell so futured and they didn't want to didn't care to see. What's the end of the tunnel. It's at the end of the cave, you know. They all turned around and left. But when they went back to the wrench this time, they they stashed rifles everywhere. They stashed shotguns at every corner of the wrench, just in case. And one day again, this thing came. The dog started howling, crying, and someone spotted big foot coming. He's coming in with the tree line and they all got their rifles ready and shotguns ready.

31:53 They're ready for him. He was getting ready to step over the coral. They all shot. Everyone shot together, and the only thing Beefoot did was cover his eyes. He covered with his arm. He covers his ear, his mouth, his noses, and his other ear. And he turned around and walked off. Everyone was shooting. And you know that's not the that's not the only story of the same family unit. Deep within the slot kleans another in law, very isolated area. Again m h. He had a lot of live stock in every night. Every other night, this thing would come around, howling, screaming. They will start with all the lambs first, and all the lambs are gone, and all the goats, the babies are gone, and after that the puppies, the kittens. Then works his way up and so I was trying to get into the house.

32:57 You know, he would he heard all his dogs and they're trying to get into the door. And he didn't want to open the door at all. He did not want it at all. He was crying you know, he's very afraid growing up on the navelation experiencing something that can see in the dark, and it's faster than the stronger than you, stinky in deadly and we would have this this visitor all across naval land and being now we're taught and told not to bother them. They come and take whatever they want as long as they don't take us. Whether if you're going to track him down, he's going to carry you away like a baby. No one's ever going to find you again. You're going to disappear underneath the ground. He's going to take you deep on it, into the earth. He can see you. No one's ever going to know where you're at. And so growing up on Applmation where we've heard stories that there's so many times over and over and over, and you know, going into within these years of working with Jevin and we went out to tast them out of range. They're working working with William. You know, my predecessor i'd like to call my Yoda as well. He taught me a lot of tricks and how to find some symbols that

34:28 these guys leave behind. You know, I'm really thankful that he passed on this knowledge, and I really hope to stay in this feeling, you know, keep it alive, and just just share my knowledge of everybody else and as long as cultural significant knowledge of Sasquatch. You know, we we call me at, we call him, you know, the hairy holy Man, you know, the Holy One. You know, he helps us out, you know, back in our j sad days. He did save us a lot of times. In the United States. Cavalry, the Mormon militia, the Payi Scouts, Naval Scouts, the Apaches, you know, all the tribes around naval nations all turned on us at one time back in the eighteen sixties. And these bigfoot all, well, they know what's going on around them. So these guys would go around any new camps, crawling around just where they can't see, screaming, screaming all night, where they would allow the Navajo people and the Apache people to make their escape.

35:37 So these guys will come to arrest you a lot. And there's also a time where the Naria where Kenyan del Morto out there now nation Kenya Death. The reason why it's called Kenya death is because the Master took place the Spanish soldiers. They massacred a lot of the nave whole, elders and women and children with cave there. So then fast forward later on the American Calgary were there along with a lot of ute scouts, enemy warriors. So they would be up high on this rock called Spider Rock. There's a fortress. There were many now who up there, and every night they would they would make a human chain and make ropes. We got a yuckle fiber.

36:26 They would let down the small little girl. You run across the valley and go climb up up on the cliffs to the max the high elevation, gather juniper berries. Juniper berries were very edible for us. You know, the the American Calendar would poison our water hole bearing all our food, you know, destroy earth, hell on Earth campaign, that's what they would call it. And we would resort to juniper berries, you know, even musquite route. We would find a lot of edible things on nature. So the Bigfoot they know that too. They do the same thing. And when this girl every day should be up there gathering as much juniper berries as you can, she make her way back and crawl back down the cliff, run back across the valley and make your way back up that cement de spider Rock. And every day she's doing that, they would notice that she was getting faster, and she would bring back a lot of yaka bark fiber baskets woven by a hand. You know, they never seen a pattern of you weeding together full of juniper berries. And they would ask her, you know, how are you making these baskets? How are you getting all these juniper berries so quick? How are you how are you getting quicker?

37:44 How are you getting faster? Now? How are you doing this? And she and she would reply, my grandpa, by Harry, Grandpa, he's always helping me. My Harry, Grandpa knows what I need, knows what I want. He made all these baskets. He got all these juniper berries ready at the cliff for me, so I can hurry you make it back and I won't get hurt by these white people, you know. And then another story the same thing around Chusk the mountain areas when the genocide, you know, eighteen sixty, a lot of people they were making their ways to mountains into the Great canyons to start to hide and go seek games with America and enemy scouts. So you know, at this Chusk the mount area. The family could not take their children. This band, they couldn't take their children because their children had a physical deformalities, you know, they were they couldn't run, they couldn't hide, and if they were trying to take them, you know, they would slow them down and get them captured or killed. And they had to leave them. It's the only thing that they could do was get them all together. And I want to hold on bill fire and have as much food, leave as much food there for them as possible. And it's just leaving with hope because they had to run for their life so our people can have the future. And after they left, years went by, nine years went by,

39:17 the war was over, and all the novels that were hiding across the Southwest started making their way back home from out of the hiding and that band from that area. As they were getting closer to the to the Hogans to home, they seen fire smoke coming from the Hogun and they started running, you know, as they're making their way closer to the Hogan and they're crying, you know, because they can't believe what they're seeing. And they got inside the Hogun, they've seen all their kids that they left behind. You know, they grew, they were older, and they seen food there. They're seen firewood there, they seen soup above the fire being being cooked, and everything was there.

40:03 Someone was taking care of their children. You know, they're like, they're asking them, you know, how, how is this possible? Who's taking care of you guys? Who's doing this for you guys? And they told them that the hairy Man. The hairy Man comes whenevery one of us gets sick during the winter, the hairy Man would come and take the sick kid away, and then later on the hairy Man would bring back the sick kid well. A couple of days later, another kid would get sick, the hairy Man would take that kid. In a few days, the hairy Man would bring back that kid fully well, and they would come and make fire for them, and make seap for them, and tender for them and at night protecting during the day protect them. So you know, there's I can't put my my thumb on his assquatch yet because you know, growing up my own experiences, you know, for me be a survivor, and just recently, you know, my little sister when she was a child going to going to school, on our way to the bus stop down the road. It's like about five by four in the morning. She was making her way. She's seeing something tall and dark on the on the pavement running torture.

41:22 You know. I was running in a zig zag pattern, getting closer and closer. And she realized that this thing was moving at an unnatural speed, getting closer to her. And she said, it looked like I had a hood on, and it looked like I had really long, hairy, black arms. So this hair was on. This thing was dark. It was getting closer. She turned around and she started running back home. She was looking back at this thing, was getting closer and closer. She made it home, crying, told my uncle. They ran. He ran out the door with a bat and this thing was already about three quarters of a mile away on a heel overlooking the community and helped you do you know. And then there's another story with these bus drivers. I have another community of Napa Nation. This bus driver stopped and his family they parked probably like about forty forty yards away from the bus on the dirt road, and they let the kid out.

42:25 And this kid was making his way to the bus stop. And this bus has lights you know, shining his lights on the forest. This bus drivers seeing a bigfoot and really hairy bigfoot watching the entire time, and when the kid was alone making his way to the bus, this bigfoot started running towards the kid, and the bus driver had to get out her seat, run out there and run towards the sasquat screaming, and the sasquat stopped and ran back into the forest, and this bus driver ran and grabbed the kid, ran into the bus and they left. And that area of an aflmation, it is a rule for the parents to walk the children to the bus.

43:12 The children. A child is no longer allowed to walk by themselves anymore, and they're not allowed to be dropped off anywhere in that area by themselves. The parent has to be there. But if a parent can't be there, they would leave a car right off the dirt roof for the child. The children, you know into high school where the kids would just get out the bus, just get into the vehicle. You know, they wouln't have to worry. So you would see that all across then Aflmation, especially in the bag for hotspots. Yeah been you know, doing an investigation investigating, sorry, doing investigating out there, and I walk down a hockey land and gathered stories from them, with their permission, of course, and gathered some history on them.

43:58 They what they call the bakfoot. There's a mass and when he's coming, he's screaming and he's coming. He's coming to give you death, coming to take you away, take you away from the land of them living, saying, and he is being seen around the washes on pullock a wash on the hooky lint. And you know, I had this one and a family that I was chatting with there selling the jewelry. They said that they got home one late at night from town and they started cooking outside. They started grilling and said, it's around eleven o'clock at night. They were hungry and they din't care as they're cooking, he said. The dogs. They noticed that whenever something would come around, the dogs would be would be barking in a different way, or I'd be howling in a different tone.

44:53 And they said they turned on the light out on the fence line, flash the light that way on the property line. But the fence they seem two huge red eyes low to the ground. And then this thing stood up they said this thing was like over nine feet tall, red, huge realized things stood straight up and all the dogs stopped barking, and this thing turned in a walk back away. They see that they live not far from that washed and every now and then, they said, they will see huge foot tracks in the wash now and then because he makes his way from an inflamation, he goes through healthy reservation into the you know south into the Mogi Rim flag staff, you know, the highlands, the forests, so the whole area crisscross the sky roams. You know, it's's pretty amazing. And let's see yeah, uh, every every power line as well, you know, investigating all the contact witnesses.

46:04 They spoke in the alignment powerlignement. You know, he said that well, where they're changing out the power poles, he's seen a black one, you know, darting into the tree line. So there was like six foot tall, all black, black hair, and that same area where he's changing the pole out that line, he said, there's always tracks these things like to take that power line road. And then another another witness the same area the power line road. They said they don't ride their ATVs in the evening at night, never and I asked them why. They said a few times while they're riding around at night, they would see sasquatch, two of them running after them, and when they would catch up to them, they said they would feel his his hand on their back and he would scratching their back.

46:56 And everyone that's not wander around down so much in that area at night. And this last year, my wife and her uncle were driving through the area and this lady was running from the forest. She was running to the car. She jumped out in front of them as they're, you know, making their way. They stopped and she was screaming. She was hysterical. She's pointing into the forest. She said, there's a hairy man. There's a hairy person, a huge person that dragged her, that grabbed her from the road and dragged her into the tree line and she escaped. You know, they lay let her in the vehicle, and she was freaking out the entire time. She was saying, it's a skin walker. But growing up being naw who growing up on the reservation, that's our first things that we would say it's a skin walker. We would not say Bigfoot because it's very taboo talk about him. It's very tabooed sure information to the outside of the world about Yeah, it's a very.

48:07 Table I have a few This is absolutely incredible, don but I do, I do have a few questions real quick. Oh yeah, if it is very taboo in your culture, then do you feel like you are under any threat sharing information like those? No? Yeah, yeah, no, yeah, I always I always had my life then by humans and by witchcraft and by other things that you know, you can't even imagine, you know, on an ablmation, I've seen all kinds of things that it's very hard to share with the world. You know, the on an aflmation is very magical, and you know, there's little people, there's a lizard man seeing the built man.

49:07 I witnessed the alien abductions, you know, my wife and I seen them, and I also record the craft and you know, investigating sasquatch. You know, I ran into a huge spirit over my head that was so huge that lit up the whole sky. And I also seen the porl open up the sky up in the sky in front of me like a giant window opened, light coming through in the giant window closing. You know, all these strange things happen on an affirmation. And but how I see it as is me sharing with you and sharing with the outside world. Is that I'm sure educating, and I'm also trying to make sure that my culture, you know, always can be safe with sharing, sharing with you guys.

49:56 You know, well like this recording right now with me speaking, you know, it can be shared with years from now, with generation to generation. And you know, part of our culture can be saved that way by sharing and educating our non now who are non Native American kinsmen, are brothers and sisters. You know, we all we are human. We have five fingers, you know, we all have a squirrel on our head and our fingers finger tips, you know. So that's how I see it as a sharing I'm doing. I'm doing a human, human service, you know, for culture cultural reasons. I feel that it's it's a need too.

50:39 I find that it is. You know, I've had a few individuals from different Native American tribes come on the podcast, and I feel that is a huge privilege to have them on yourself. Uh. Individual Bear from Tully River Reservation comes to mind. Uh. And there's been others as well. Uh. And you're right, It's just it's a way to make sure that the cultural history is preserved in a way. Also, another thing that I'm realizing as I'm hearing you talk is for you. This is not just most people that are maybe listening to this, or like I'm just going to go out on the weekend and I'm gonna try to see if i can find a big foot in the forest. For you, this is very real, in a very much a part of your life in all aspects.

51:40 Yeah, it's it's a lot of you know, I pissed it myself a few times, these things, you know, hearing the crying and screaming outside of the doors, and hearing all your ducks, you know, calling on the tailer, screaming, trying to get into the house. You know, all the all the trauma you know, from all those experiences. You know, I do feel like I have a right to speak about it and share about it. And these things are very real, and everyone's experience may be different, but from my experience and our people's experience, no one can ever take that away from us, because you know, there's so many of us that have similar stories, you know, and I think that we all should share because everyone our people police each other, our people told me to be quiet.

52:38 They told me they talk down onto me, you know, even down to my vocabulary, you know, and even just try to share about sharing about the paranormal. Even from my own experiences, everyone says, don't talk about it. Don't share with the white people. Don't share with them at all. You know, they're all gonna they're all going to want to come here after that. But my white an, we need the revenue we can have touring, you know, we can start a business. You know, this whole life is very mysterious and strange, and my time here I would like to try to put some of the pieces together, you know, absolutely, that's what I believe. And then any more information we can find out about Sasquatch, like we're learning every day. Every time I go out and investigate, I find something new about, very amazingly new. And like even up to my up to my wife, her aunt, another aunt, you know, around this mountain in the springtime, you know, we have freak blizzards that come, you know, all these stones are very unpredictable. And this one spring day she was hurting her sheep. She was she was young, five maybe four. This one a freak blizzard came and she was she wasn't dressed. She lost sheep. All I think she can do is huddle up underneath the cedar tree.

54:04 She's freezing, getting tired, and she was like, I'm going to die and a freeze right here. This is it. And she fell asleep and then she was waking up. When she realized she came to, she was being carried by something very very warm, giving off so much heat that she was so comfortable she fell back asleep again. She's saying, it felt like, you know, like a grandparent holding her. She was feeling really really slow thing and she was waking up, and then this thing was placing her on her on her porch from her door, put her down. She got close to her door, you know, the porch light was on. She turned around. She wanted to see who saved her. She's seen a huge, huge, hairy man standing there. He's stepping backwards all the way into the security to the tree line. And so this day, every now and then she says, she feels him, you know, she knows when he's around. She goes outside, she stands there for minutes, for minutes, and finally the stink with his eyes glowing reflecting from the light. He's peeking up from the tree, and he'll reveal himself. He'll show himself to her and she'll tell him, I'm all right, I'm still alive. I'm right here, I'm okay, everything's fine, I'm okay.

55:31 Saying all this in Navajo. And I do have a lot. I have witnesses that swear that they speak in Navaho. And when they do speak Navajo, it sounds like an old man's raspy voice and investigating down there on Patchy Reservation, same thing. We have all these people, the patches down there, saying, clack the rocks together to let them know your friends. And he speaks a patche down there too, and he sounds like an old man, a raspy voice. They call him the monkey man down there, Oh wow. And he likes our ceremonial songs. The pat you have their ceremonial songs. We have our ceremonial songs. You know we have twelve dancers and big Foot fifteenth dancer. Back then he would come and sing if you researched, And now who ceremonial songs?

56:22 You hear one song that sounds like Bigfoot screaming and yelling, and that's his song dedicated to him because he's the he's a holy man, you know, that can kill you when you're sick. So I'm going to ask some questions that are just going to be really They're going to be from a guy who does not live in this this culture that we're talking about, So just just bear with me. I'm hearing half of Half of the things that I'm hearing are that this the Bigfoot, this Bigfoot in this area, they're they're causing a lot of trauma, trying to get people, trying to take people away. But then I'm also hearing that there's times when they are looked at as a holy man or a healer. Is that correct?

57:21 Yeah? So how how does that are there are there different ones or or does the viewpoint of of the Bigfoot change over time within this culture? Oh right now, like a lot. And I revere him, Yeah, they really revere him where he is like a holy deity some of us, you know, they highly respect him. There's a lot of stories of him. You know, he were his grocery story and we're also his dinner and a show. You know, he likes to watch us looking at us through the window. We are strange creatures of habit.

58:11 You know, you'll have our own habits. And you know, he's just like Bob. You know, let's see what's just what's on this channel. You know, Jim's going to be home right now, Dalads and they're making something. Juniors over there playing. You know, just he's his pattern is way different than us, His thoughts are way different than us. And he doesn't even care what we call him. He's just you know, he's just gonna take whatever's available. But he does some dark things. You know, I can't put my thumb on him, but as far as I know, I would not trust him with my wife and my kids and my family. And you know, there's still witnesses coming out out right now to me, you know, the stories are amazing, especially from my community and Aplination and the patching nations. And when these guys jump, you know, it looks like a frog jumping, just like that. These guys can jump thirty one feet to thirty six feet vertical or horizontally. These guys would jump from tree to tree.

59:15 You know a lot of people think that he jumps in the portal and I and I come along and nope, I am not going to buy a theory. I'm gonna do clockwise spiral and a counterclockwise spiral. I'm gonna find with a sucker land. But sure enough, that's how I find out that he jumps that far. Oh so you go out thirty five to forty feet and you find the other track. Yeah, thirty six is the furthest I see him jump left right foot. He jumps like like how a hulk or how he's jumping away right like that. Yeah, because there's one area where his hotspot. You know, I'm anti UFOs. I felt tracks, I felt tractable sizes and stories. One of the stories that came out that same areas. So during the COVID times, everybody was on lockdown on the naplination and only the essential care workers were able to drive around. Police and the CIA, FBI men in black, which we see them on the Navaho Nation. Yes we know who you are. I was just kidding, but yeah, they'd be around on the Navi Nation driving around, and uh, non emergency medical drivers were also able to drive around because they're picking up elders, you know, taking them to their appointments. Because Navil Nation is very vast and these vehicles are jeeps, you know, because it's very rugged off road all the time. And this whole morning they're coming there,

1:00:45 driving through that area, like around three in the morning. And this is a story from the old man. And he had a young male that was driving, and I guess that mail he stopped. You know, the dad was a graph sleeping in the back of the truck. You know, he stopped and he came to you know, the vehicle just quiet, and he asked the boys, why why did you stop here? You know, it was like a slow snowfall. And the boy was just quiet. Why didn't you stop here? Someone's going to hit us. We're on the road. And he's like, look, there's something right there. There's something right there. And then the old guy was like, what are you talking about. He worked out there and he seen a huge person, very wide. He said, he looked like he had a fur coat on, standing on the road, like right in the middle of the road, really wide. And the old man was getting out and that that young boy was saying, don't get up, don't get up, don't get up. The old man got out with his cane with his phone with a flashlight on his phone. He walked up to the sting and he got right up to it, and his phone was on. He was kids picture ready too, and he was speaking to this thing and now saying, hey, hey, the guy, do you know what you're doing right now? You're in the middle of the road. There's people that drive very fast at this curve.

1:02:16 There's huge semi trucks that don't stop from nothing that's going to hit you. It could hit us right now. But we need you to get off this road, like, wake up, are you okay? Is there something wrong with you? Do you need prayer? Then? And this thing stood up, said he thought this guy was standing there, hunched over with his hair down with his face, but in actuality it was a sasquatch sitting on his bum with his legs folded with his head down. And this thing stood up to the old man said over twenty six feet tall. And when he stood up, the boy that was parked behind him with his high beams started reversing. He left the old man there, and he said, this thing stood up and he started screaming and yelling, and the old man falling, get off the road. You're going to cause an accident. You're gonna die. We don't want you to die.

1:03:17 This thing jumped off the road and jumping down the cliff walls down to the canyon. They heard him screaming, echoing. He made his way to one of these slot canyons where they take where there's numerous reports of a family unit of a nine of them traveling in canyons. It's very very cool stories. It's absolutely incredible. So you definitely have your culture has a very unique way of looking at Bigfoot. Do they also believe that it is a physical creature as well or that it has other attributes connected to that?

1:04:10 That's all right, there's a pretty much a split deal. Idea more traditional side is you don't bother him, you know, you just leave him alone. You let him take what he wants. And the Native American church side where people go into the tepees, which is new, they see him more of a supernatural because the Native American church that they pet and the TPEs, the pod is a planes tribal thing and there everything is like paranormal supernatural, and for us is very physical. Everything from the physical is tied into the spirit, spirit realm, and everything has an explan into it. So what happens in the spirit around the effects the physical realm, and that's what we know as being now when there's like that's like a lot of taboos. You know, when I was supposed to call up the wonder. You know, there's a lot of things.

1:05:13 Don't cut your hair at night, there's so much, so much these and don'ts. Yeah, so like it comes, it's that's a difficult question. Like there's even medicine man that say they see him taking their taking their chicken and leaving foot tracks and leaving physical evidence that I even found their poop. So I don't know if I mean, like, if I had access to the portal, I wouldn't want to walk from point A to point B or jump or put in the extra work to burn calories to jump far or run off. You know, I wouldn't leave anything behind. I'd be lazy. I'll jumping into the portal.

1:05:58 See you guys later. But from my experiences, is very physical. And if something physical can reflect the bright powerful flashlight, then that then it is physical. You know, if you can leave hair, if you can leave So this one's story, it's a one of the one of the things I was investigating in So this family, oh man, they have so much good stories. They didn't want to be recorded on this upcoming documentary with William Jagon that is going to come out on to b C. So two weeks oh on to Be Okay.

1:06:44 Comes out. So yeah, this family, their respected family and they didn't want to be on because they're they've seen some things, you know. And one of the things that you're living in this little community where everyone it was tight, the related, so you have information to share with each other all the time. And this one time, this little lady she made her way back home from from town. It's very isolated area. Again, it's like all navilination. She made her she got her way home and she was she was hearing all her her sheep crying, and she was hearing them, you know, and crying, and she made her way close to the corral. She can see them.

1:07:29 And what she's seen was the blonde, huge eight foot nine foot tall bigfoot chasing these sheep arel and it was picking them up here by the back leg and breaking her neck in a way where it was drained their blood and he was drinking all the blood. And you throw that one he chased anollow one and the same thing he slaughtered the whole sheet curl. He drank all of their blood. And you know, for us, livestock is our way of life, is our only currency, is our only way to make money. And for her, seeing that, you know, it broke her heart. She called her family.

1:08:13 You know, we have three individuals that show up, maybe more than three with their own high power rifles scopes, and they laid the big guy down in the kraal with all the sheep. They called the Navo police department. They arrived. They called the novel rangers. They arrived, and now for rangers called somebody that shows up in the black suv. The black suv. Caucasians come out in black seats, and not long after that they see this huge black semi with the flatbed coming down a dirt road, sliding everywhere. The big big black coffin like a big black box in the back struck down. They love the Sasquatch and they're making their way back out. All the locals see the box not closed, and they see this huge hairy body sticking out with blonde buckskin color going back up into the highway and disappearing. So that's a little what he likes to do.

1:09:21 That's wild because I was actually just going to ask you if there had ever been body recovered, and there you go. Yeh man. But yeah, once these these utiful crashes, Bigfoot body, these discoverment is there quick. We don't know if the nearby, We don't know if they have head cores nearybody. I have witnesses, you know, coming to me from all corners of the naplination, seemed big footman. Moments later in the afplanation, Tim It's okay, it's just skin walking. They will see your black issue being a bunch of Caucasian men in black suits with the flashlights looking at tracks. So you know these there's even men in black that you know, drive around at night and they have led lights all over their SUVs and when they hop out, they have guns all over their bodies, different calibers, you know. Then yeah, because it's really strange hot spot my grandmother's you know, we have a lot of ets with these these ets with shift into the giant rabbit when they're running, they're shift into alien gray getting into the ship. There's a mother ship that parks over the thousands of UFOs that come out. You know, they do all kinds of things in the sky all night until the sun comes up nine o'clock comes you can't see them anymore. And these guys will show up in the black suburbans. They would

1:10:53 be looking in binoculars or flying or drawing around. They would have a plastic gun on their side. And I have a friend that worked in the government. That plastic gun shoots out electromagnetic pulse and that's when they came down a UFO and be able to recover and retrieve the technology right away. Do you think that how about this, there's a ton of high strangeness that happens in this area of the Navajo Nation. Do you think it's because the Navajo people are in this area or it's the area itself, which which is why all this stuff is there.

1:11:40 It's the area itself. Okay, wow, it's very it's the entrance to the hollow Earth. We did survive on Avajo land deep within the earth from the last flood, and you know it's very There's other beings that are onunderneath the earth. The lizard people you know what other people called, the ant people in different Bigfoots, and the giants, the six toe, six fingered giants. They live in the earth still will come out from time to time. Six fingered giants, yeah, you guys. Did you guys see six finger giants on Navo Nations?

1:12:24 Yeah? Yeah. Even giant lizard man, Yeah, we've seen them. I had witnesses that I have yet to bring on my podcast to share the all the high and strangeness of an ablimation, because we don't. We don't only have big Foot, we have more. Where you go on an ablimation, I asked, have you even seen Bigfoot? And they would look at me and say, we see more than bigfoot. We have more things running around and bigfoot, you know, And I'm well away with it. And when I'm when I was working during this documentary, that's one of the responses I would get back. You know, they will see a sininar, they will see goat man, they will see a lizard man, they will see a flying garg will.

1:13:07 And I have witnesses that have seen flying gargills even down the Tucson the gargoles being spotted taking hitchhikers, kicking them up and flying off with them, you know, even down to the pache Land navel Land. So dude, I have no idea what's going on, but I think that it's the hollow Earth's interest because we have multiple hollow Earth interances across the Naglamation that these scininars come out of and their family units of sinitars, and these things will play with the puppies and the dogs outside. Even Bigfoot will bring a baby back stick, you know, kill Philip Mignom for these dogs that are tied of outside, even pet dogs too, Bigfoot too. You know, we have a lot of these traffic at night, you know the dead's when the when, when the sun sets, life comes live in the desert. The desert is one of the greatest teachers in life. If you ever want to learn about life and mischiees life, go and get lost in the desert, especially on that man. You'll never You'll never know what you'll see. It's always amazing.

I'd love to hear it, so please send me an email at bigfo Soociety gmail dot com and thanks again for being part of the Big for Society and that till next time, keep your ears open, your eyes on the tree line, and never stop asking what else might be out there, and see you in the woods.
