This Classic episode of Bigfoot Society was originally released on 8/11/20.


Today's interview is with Josh Suich, an intellectual Bigfoot researcher, software engineer and member of the Starfall Collective Twitch D&D show from Georgia. We sit down with Josh, whose analytical mind takes us on a profound journey through the intersection of Bigfoot lore, religious mysticism, and the fabric of reality. From astral projection to biblical giants, Josh weaves a narrative that challenges the conventional, urging us to consider the plausibility of Sasquatch not just as a cryptid, but as a key to understanding the metaphysical world. Dive into a discussion that spans scientific skepticism, government conspiracies, and the raw data of personal encounters. Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, this episode promises to expand your horizons on what's truly possible in the wild, uncharted territories of both our planet and our perceptions. Join us for a session that's as intellectually stimulating as it is wildly unconventional.

skills in audio quality have improved since
then. Please don't judge the podcast on

Podcasts. Have got Josh with me
tonight, and I'm going to go ahead

14
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:11.000
and have Josh introduce himself acquaintances on
Instagram, but I love you to go

15
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:17.879
ahead and introduce who you are and
I can tell that you've got a North

16
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:21.840
American Bigfoot Center shirt on. So
so obviously you're into the squash, so

17
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.280
go ahead and let the listeners know
all about that too. Sure. Yeah.

18
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.480
So my name's Josh. I'm from
Georgia and I've been into Bigfoot since

19
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:36.840
I was like eight years old.
I found a library book in my private

20
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.599
Christian school library that is on Bigfoot
and Locknest Monster, and I went,

21
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:48.439
oh boy, Yeah. Nobody told
me that this was an option for cool

22
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:52.159
things that you could look into,
and so I read it and I went,

23
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.400
you know, there's this is amazing. Yeah. I was fiffy on

24
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.719
the lock this Monster, but after
seeing it had images screenshots of the Patterson

25
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:06.959
Gimlin film, and it just awakened
this interest in me. And when I

26
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.960
was sixteen, I found the bfro
dot net site. This is back in

27
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:19.599
the ninth so I just poured powered
through hundreds of hours of reading every single

28
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.400
account I could get my hands on
that database and others, and it just

29
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:36.159
amazed me how consistent of a profile
of behavior and morphology and everything that all

30
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:40.560
these people were reporting. And I
started asking people that I respected, so

31
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:45.560
what's up a big business real?
And I had so many people just dismissed

32
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.919
the idea out of hand, But
after reading literally hundreds of hours of re

33
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.520
quarters, I went, I just
I don't agree. Where there's smoke,

34
00:02:53.560 --> 00:03:00.719
there's fire, and I just I
don't have a view of humanity that allows

35
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:07.080
me to imagine all of these people
going through the time and effort to make

36
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:14.199
up incredibly consistent reports just to be
lying. And so I think that's for

37
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.759
me. That's one of the most
fascinating things about bigfoot I've ever seen one.

38
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:22.319
I've been to a couple of places
that are here in the Southeast where

39
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.800
I've I'm looking for them, and
I've found a number of stick structures actually,

40
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.840
and we can talk. For me, the most engaging thing about it

41
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:38.319
is that I just love thinking about
it from the perspective of the psychology behind

42
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.159
it. Why is it that is
a society categor I with the way that

43
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:49.120
we do. It's really interesting.
When did you get into bigfoot? It's

44
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:53.960
two different things, and I think
you'll find one of them really interesting because

45
00:03:53.000 --> 00:04:00.719
you mentioned that you went to a
you said small private Christian school. Started

46
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.599
out probably I was like around maybe
eight or nine, and I was watching

47
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:09.599
in Search of with amoy with my
dad. So that was you see the

48
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:14.759
film and you're like, whoa,
everyone stopped? Did you see this?

49
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:16.480
Did you know about this? And
it was yeah, okay, whatever,

50
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:23.120
blah blah blah. And then so
that kind of died out. And then

51
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.839
so I grew up in New England
and so I was like around all this

52
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.079
crazy stuff, but I wasn't into
cryptos cryptosiology stuff at that time, so

53
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:36.240
I missed out all a lot.
But then so I was at a so

54
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:44.279
fast forward, I'm in central I
went out right, so I am So

55
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:50.199
I'm at a small religious school and
where it's like there's a chapel service every

56
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:57.720
Wednesday. Yeah for me, I
don't know how the I need to get

57
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:01.240
the guy on the podcast. So
this guy comes in who's really cool dude.

58
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.639
I can't think of his name right
now, but he is a he's

59
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:13.879
a Christian in a dinosaurs but also
into cryptozoology. And he goes off about

60
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.800
so you're like barely awake as a
college like sophomore or whatever. In the

61
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:18.839
background, you're like, just get
me out of here. I want to

62
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.560
get through this. And like all
of a sudden, this guy is talking

63
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:28.439
about and I went to Papa New
Guinea and here's the pterodactyls flying around with

64
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:34.920
bioluminescence, and everyone's huh really,
and then he's like, Papua New Guinea,

65
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:39.879
that's news. Yes, yes,
but that's really cool because it can

66
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:45.480
tie into like cryptids like the Van
Meter visitor in Iowa where it's like like

67
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.120
a pterodactyl type creature where it was
like a light that shot out of its

68
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.439
head. I don't know if you
heard about that one, but that's a

69
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:56.519
really fun one in Iowa anyways,
So I was that was for me,

70
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:03.000
was like a like that that was
fifteen years ago, so it's been a

71
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.480
while. And then when I get
to the point where I'm like, you're,

72
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:12.199
oh, yeah, I could totally. It's got more and more into

73
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:16.560
it and finding bigfoot stuff like that, and then I was like, oh,

74
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.040
I should totally do a podcast.
And then I was like, I've

75
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:24.560
got all this extra time now,
and I actually had wanted I started last

76
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:28.800
year, so I had the stuff
already and then I had all this extra

77
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:31.199
free time, so I was just
like, let's go for it. Because

78
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:40.879
of COVID, also they would record
the Chapel services. This one Chapel recording

79
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:51.920
got magically erased from existence and that
in the front office. Yeah, it's

80
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:59.040
like when he got off the stage, one of the the people came up,

81
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.279
he's like, oh that was nice, thank you, okay to class,

82
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.040
and I was like, oh,
man, like that was actually I

83
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:11.319
really enjoyed it. But so I've
had a weird like crypted journey and yeah,

84
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:17.160
yeah, I like the having this
podcast because I like to My goal

85
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:23.000
is to get the story behind people
that are in the crypted community that don't

86
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:28.079
really you don't really get to see
that the story of the person, and

87
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.439
you get to also hear about cryptids
as well. But it's i'd say it

88
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:36.360
like an NPR, this American life
in the crypto zoology community. It's weird,

89
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.920
but I enjoy it and it makes
it for a lot of love.

90
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.959
So yeah, I love that,
and I totally agree. There's so many

91
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:50.480
people out there that have incredibly worthwhile
stories to hear. Their stories are worth

92
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:55.839
hearing whether or not they achieve some
sort of commercial thing, right. That's

93
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.879
we value people whether or not they
have a PhD or they've got a million

94
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:07.560
subscribers. That mean human beings are
human beings, whether they've done something to

95
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.399
titilate the world or not, and
their stories and their opinions matter. Now,

96
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.639
don't get me wrong. I've met
a I ran into a guy who

97
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.319
told me that he got abducted by
the police and tortured in the basement,

98
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.240
and the whole time I was talking
to him and I was like, I

99
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:28.519
really do believe you've got some trauma
and some mental health problems. I'm not

100
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:35.039
the person that believes everything that they
hear. But at the same time,

101
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:43.200
I've had experiences with I've had supernatural
experiences. I've had prophetic experiences when I

102
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:50.200
was eighteen and I was a good
little Presbyterian kid who was at that's interesting

103
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:56.320
Presbyterian church. But like prophetic experiences, you said, that's very interesting,

104
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.600
and again this is and I'll go
into that a little bit okay to me.

105
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:07.480
That's one of the reasons why I
take Bigfoot and other supernatural paranormal experiences

106
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:13.120
that people have seriously, and I'm
open minded to it because in reality,

107
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.720
with you, people talk about in
my community, they talk about being a

108
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:22.720
Bible believing Christian right, and if
the Bible, what you believe in is

109
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:31.080
that we are in an interdimensional,
multi millennial intergalactic war and that and that

110
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:37.840
demonic angelic beings have created hybrid entities
with humans on Earth. That's what you

111
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.720
believe, At least to me,
that's the only responsible reading of that Genesis

112
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.679
passage. And they're pop I was
going to say, you are alluding to

113
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.440
Genesis six eight, correct, I
am, yeah. And so I've actually

114
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.200
gone in there, and I've studied
the Hebrew and I actually wrote a paper

115
00:09:54.440 --> 00:10:05.639
about the continued lineage on a keeing
in the and I handed it into my

116
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.639
professor and he read it and he
went, yeah, this is really good.

117
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.600
I agree, this is great stuff. It never really occurred to me

118
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:20.559
to read all of those passages about
Goliath all of the other giants as really

119
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:28.279
a pastoral message to the people,
saying God is trying to reinforce to them.

120
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.559
Look, I'm aware of what you're
up against, and I'm with you.

121
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:39.639
You are not alone in this cosmic, supernatural fight. And so if

122
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:46.039
you try to diminish the supernaturalness of
the passage in order to try to tame

123
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:52.240
what the Bible is saying, you
are really trying to steal the thunder from

124
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:58.279
the force of the passage. And
you're trying to water down this message of

125
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:03.399
God being with and for his people. So I'm not trying to do God

126
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.879
any favors and tell him it is
not as weird as he tells me.

127
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:09.960
It is. To me, the
most interesting part of that passage is that

128
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:16.159
when it talks about the sons of
God mating with the daughters of Man,

129
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:22.519
that phrase sons of God has been
at Elohim in the Key group. There

130
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.879
is no other place anywhere in the
Old Testament where that does not obviously and

131
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:33.799
explicitly mean the angels of the heavenly
Realm. So people who try to smudge

132
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:39.879
that and say the Bible doesn't really
talk about angelic hybridization, I think it's

133
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:46.639
irresponsible metaphysic right there, that that
is I like it. That's some crazy

134
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:52.320
stuff. So let's break it down. For Let's say you have a person

135
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.799
that's listening to this and they're like, holy mackerel, what is he talking

136
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.679
about. I don't even know what
Genesis is and he's talking about six and

137
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.639
the eight and the annex and what's
going on? So how would you take

138
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:11.559
something like that? And what does
that tie into cryptos or cryptozoology? What

139
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.399
do you what are you talking about? There. So for me one of

140
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:18.759
the reasons why I took that passage
really seriously and I looked into this whole

141
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:26.480
hybridization lineage because it's not a singular
phenomenon. It's talking about a range of

142
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:33.759
time where this general phenomenon was occurring. And I find it very interesting that

143
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:41.600
everything from the Epic of Gilgamesh through
pretty much every other major world religion that's

144
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:52.000
got the creation muthos, that mythos
that tie that far back will incorporate things

145
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:58.080
like the flood and human hybrid pretty
much all them. Wow, like Humbaba

146
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:05.159
and the Epic of Gilgamesh and Ki
and Kaidu is this hairy man that Gilgamesh

147
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.840
runs around with. Obviously, all
of these major world religions are pointing backwards

148
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:18.080
to a similar set of phenomenon.
I believe that Jesus is real and the

149
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.759
Bible's worth trusting, and so I'm
gonna put my piton in the Bible.

150
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.879
But that doesn't mean that Robbie Zacharias
is a Christian who I really like.

151
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.519
He says, if you can make
fun of any major world religion, you've

152
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:39.519
missed the vote, because they've got
something that they got really right. And

153
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.879
in many ways probably better than Christianity
got right historically. So having a disrespectful

154
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:52.720
attitude towards other sets of creation myths
and other world religions is in myopic and

155
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:56.879
again going to do your religion and
do your God a favor that your God

156
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.399
doesn't need. Right, if you
can't interact respectfully with the history of all

157
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.639
these other things, you waste.
So that on a cheme, are the

158
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:16.480
descendants of a specific set of interactions
between these angels and humans in the region

159
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:22.960
around basically the Fertile Crescent around like
Israel, Iran, Iraq, around east

160
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:30.759
and at least right, and they
continue to show up throughout. And these

161
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:37.000
are huge guys that are eight nine
feet tall. Oh wow. At first

162
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.720
I looked at all that and I
went, Bigfoot's huge, right, Maybe

163
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:46.360
it is a descendant of these guys. But the more I looked into it,

164
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.879
the more I realized, I really
don't think that's what they're talking about.

165
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:56.720
And so I backed up and went, how does how can these guys

166
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:03.039
fit into a pair of time of
humanity? We'll be back with more Bigfoot

167
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:13.200
society after these words from our sponsors
that the Bible talks about and for me.

168
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.559
Really, you have to put that
down and step back for a bit

169
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.639
and look at just the scientific research
that's been going on, especially for the

170
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:26.519
last two decades, where we've been
able to extract all this DNA from and

171
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:33.440
bones from the Iberian Peninsula around Spain
and everything where we've got Homo Heidelbergensis and

172
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:43.000
Neanderthalensis DNA, and we've shown hybridization
events between humans and these other hominids.

173
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.039
And I actually to Jeff Meldrum and
chatted with him online a little bit about

174
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:56.759
this. Okay, it was great. He very He's a very conservative guy.

175
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:03.000
He's exactly very religious. YEP.
I would love to get a conversation

176
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:07.679
with him about the intersection of his
religion and his views of Oh man,

177
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:10.919
yeah, that would be great one
that. Yeah, you got to get

178
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:12.399
him on and talk to him about
that. So a question for you,

179
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:17.039
So, do you have your own
podcast then or like you alluded to it?

180
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:21.480
Okay, no, right now I'm
doing a D and D podcast that

181
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:26.799
I don't have anything that's amazing.
I love it. But so the way

182
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:33.159
I'm looking at it is I'm like
going up by tears. So I have

183
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:37.960
like my tier a guest and then
eventually I'll get up to tier B and

184
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:42.360
tier C and Tier D, and
so I'm I don't know. I feel

185
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.960
like I almost have to earn the
right to be like, hey, doctor

186
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:51.120
Meldrum, come on my podcast like
that. I can't just jump to that.

187
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.279
It's some weird thing I have.
So I'm just I'm working to it.

188
00:16:55.360 --> 00:17:00.200
You know you have not because he
asked that true act. Really,

189
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:06.319
yeah, it's probably shrewd to have
some good episodes behind it, exactly.

190
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:15.480
But anyways, stepping aside this all
this crazy nepheline stuff and looking at the

191
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:25.200
hard science behind what it means to
be in the genus Homo, We've got

192
00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:32.960
at this point a dozen different members
of the genus Homo that are preferentially bipedal,

193
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:38.039
meaning whether or not they can be
on their knuckles for moving around,

194
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:44.839
clearly preferred to be on two feet. And Jeff again, Jeff melt and

195
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.720
allowed us comes back to him.
He's written some incredible papers, and I've

196
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:55.839
spent quite a few hours digging and
chipping and clawing my way through the technical

197
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:57.599
terminology of his papers and everything.
But at the end of the day,

198
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:03.880
he's Hey, and a lot of
others have done some incredible work to show

199
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.880
the morphological transition and the feet,
the legs, the hips, the whole

200
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:12.240
body between what it means to be
a chimpanzee and what it means to be

201
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:18.519
us. We've got used metatarsal in
the middle of our foot that gives us

202
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:25.119
an arch And so when you look
at all this science, clearly what it

203
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:30.119
means to be human is not just
a cut and dry matter, and I

204
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.759
think that's really threatening for a lot
of Christians. I think a lot of

205
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:44.640
Christians look at this whole Sasquatch issue
and they are dragging in decades century old

206
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:49.680
debate of the missing link, right, and so they use this kind of

207
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:56.880
religious dogmatic initial reaction to try to
protect their beliefs and protect their world,

208
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:00.759
and they push it away. But
I really don't think you need to.

209
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:06.039
I think that what it means to
be human is still a very sacred and

210
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:11.799
very spiritual thing. And I've got
friends who claim to have done mind speak

211
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:18.519
with big Puts. Right. Wow, Yeah, that they're wrong. That's

212
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:25.839
a totally that's a cold conversation itself, like mine speak with with sad squatch.

213
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.680
That's yeah, that's very interesting.
That's not in Georgia. Those friends

214
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:37.640
are the friend that I have who
is I'll leave her name out of it

215
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:42.319
just because that's fine. Illicitly asked
her if that's okay, Yeah, she's

216
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:47.920
she. And this is what's interesting
is a lot of what she says also

217
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:55.480
synks up with what Melbourn Ketcham says
about how these things are spiritual. They're

218
00:19:55.559 --> 00:20:00.200
not animals. They've got language,
they've got a religious they've got a spiritual

219
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:07.640
worldview, not a religious but a
spiritual worldview. And she, my friend,

220
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:15.079
talks about how they have a very
different relationship with the material world in

221
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:21.279
us, that they're kind of after
life experience is very different than ours.

222
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.920
That's very interesting to think about.
I've never contemplated that before. That would

223
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:33.759
be a totally new conversation there,
like their after life. Let's hover here

224
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:38.359
for a minute, right, So
what do you think about orbs, these

225
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:42.839
light ors, these light views.
Okay, so this is the here's a

226
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:51.200
weird thing. You definitely start to
see similarities in the stories, and you

227
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:55.200
can almost guess there's going to be
an ORB talked about coming up. And

228
00:20:55.359 --> 00:21:00.160
it's every time, and I've said
this in other episodes. One of my

229
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:06.039
favorite stories, so far is the
Rick Frellis episode I've had where he's talking

230
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:11.440
about being in Backbone State Park in
northeast Iowa, and I love this because

231
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.759
he's they're in the park and they're
looking ahead and they see a few orbs

232
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:19.680
and they're like, those orbs are
fantastic. And then they hear something behind

233
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:25.960
them and there's a squatch in the
middle of the trail almost controlling the orbs,

234
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:29.160
which totally blew my mind because I've
never heard a story like that,

235
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:32.359
and that's one of the most favorite
stories I've had that's come out of this

236
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.359
podcast so far. But yeah,
definitely that comes up all the time,

237
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:44.480
the whole orb there's a connection there
for real and her belief and her what

238
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:52.319
she's conveyed to me is that these
are disembodied spirits of previously these bigfoots.

239
00:21:53.599 --> 00:22:00.720
And what's interesting is that's what a
lot that's what at least a lot.

240
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:04.839
I don't know about majority because I'm
not an expert on Native American folklore regarding

241
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:14.200
but I've heard it a lot,
Like many times, is that the mythos,

242
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:18.440
the worldview of a lot of First
Nations peoples are that these orbs are

243
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:27.160
in fact entities that have passed on
that are that were previously these guardian spirits.

244
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:34.079
But the other interesting thing that she
brought up is that there are there's

245
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:44.880
a kind of a spectrum of participation
that these people have in the supernatural world

246
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:51.680
that is available to them by birthright. And her perspective that she says that

247
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:56.920
she's received directly my mind speak and
everything. And keep in mind, the

248
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.279
reason why I'm not sure that she's
wrong is because when I met her,

249
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:06.839
she showed me a binder, this
thick of pictures of sasquatch on her property,

250
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:10.680
and I started flipping through them,
and I went, this is like

251
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.559
you pile, you can see the
sasquatch. Or these aren't blob squatches.

252
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:21.119
These are like really clear. Some
of them are like holy crap. Either

253
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:26.279
this woman dedicated a tremendous amount of
time and effort to putting her husband in

254
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:33.440
a mask in the woods and taking
pictures or this. I've gone with her

255
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:38.359
and I've spent time around her,
and I have not seen any sign of

256
00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:45.880
mental illness orfulness. She's an incredible, kind and wholesome and honest person.

257
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:49.480
And so that's what's so wild is
it for me? Again? I've got

258
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:59.279
adds. I apologize I'm jumping through
topics, but I've had prophetic experiences that

259
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:07.880
I didn't not really see coming or
asked for. And I have been in

260
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:15.039
locations where people have done wika and
have invoked a lot of spirits and gotten

261
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:21.640
the place good and churned up,
and have seen objects flying across the room.

262
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:29.119
I've seen physically affected by demonic entities. I've been in the presence of

263
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:34.640
them, and this is not I
feel weird enough. I could tell you

264
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:40.079
with the certainty with which I'm either
in the room with a gorilla or not,

265
00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:44.279
that I was in the room with
demonic entities. So I believe you

266
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:48.400
one hundred percent, because if you
look at different things that happen in the

267
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.960
New Testament, that stuff is real
and you got to be aware of it,

268
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:59.160
and mand you got to be careful
messing arout with stuff because that stuff

269
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:02.640
is real. People don't understand this
isn't just movie stuff. This is real

270
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:07.160
life, and it can affect you
and your family like it's legit. Yeah.

271
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:14.119
The only difference between me and people
pursue a much more New Age and

272
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:22.160
or explicitly within half is this belief
about the nature of the entities that they're

273
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:26.599
interacting with. They and I have
the same level of certainty that these entities

274
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:30.880
exist. I don't believe that it's
wise to bargain with them, and that

275
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:38.759
they are purely benevolent, and I've
seen evidence of that. When I was

276
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:45.440
exercising a building with a friend two
friends, when we got to the very

277
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.799
end of the building and we had
corralled everything out to the end, he

278
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:56.599
got physically affected by this demon and
suddenly all of his hearing was almost completely

279
00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:02.839
gone. He said it was like
cotton swabs and mix it with wax and

280
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.599
jammed it down his ear canals,
and he was fully nauseated, and so

281
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:12.759
he was double that was wild.
Is when this happened. It wasn't weird

282
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:17.200
to me. It wasn't scary to
me. And that's not a sign of

283
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:22.279
how I'm so cool or whatever.
But in that moment, I also just

284
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:26.400
very clearly felt the presence of God, and very clearly felt that God was

285
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:33.119
letting this happen for a reason.
And so all of very interesting experiences that

286
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:38.920
I've had have only confirmed to me
that the God that I believe in is

287
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.799
real and is near me and everything, and I've asked myself that question a

288
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:51.279
few times. When I met this
friend who lives a few hours away,

289
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:53.480
also in the southeast, and I
stayed with her. When I met her

290
00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:59.440
and I talked to her for a
while and then I went to stay with

291
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:02.799
her. When I to stay with
her, she said, yeah, when

292
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:07.240
I first met you, I like, I saw this gold aura around you.

293
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:11.559
You've got to fear yeah, And
I was like, wow, I

294
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:18.000
can believe that without being egotistical or
anything. I've bumped up against the supernatural

295
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:22.680
a lot of times, and so
part of me wonder is if that isn't

296
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:30.000
part of why I haven't had more
success in the Sasquatch area. It's just

297
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.559
one of those weird Okay, Yeah, I can see how you're tying it

298
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:37.279
together. A lot of people who
say that they run into them and then

299
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:41.720
suddenly they see them more and more. And the skeptic the synate would say,

300
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:45.319
oh, sure, if you're gonna
lie once, you're gonna lie a

301
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:49.079
whole bunch of times. Me.
That makes complete sense. If you once

302
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:56.319
you've seen one, you've broken through
the shell and there's the gig is up.

303
00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:59.960
There's no problem with them letting you
see them. More right, Okay,

304
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.640
So I want to touch on something. So you think that once you

305
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:08.599
see one, then your eyes are
going to be It's like when you get

306
00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:12.640
a car and then you notice that
car everywhere else, you think it's I'm

307
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:15.920
talking about like, oh, look
at all those Volvos. Kind that I

308
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:19.559
own a Volvo now? Or do
you think they're opening your eyes to themselves?

309
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.279
I don't know, could go a
different to a certain degree. I

310
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:26.759
think that to a certain degree,
if these things are capable of a certain

311
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:34.880
level of supernatural connection, call it
quantum connection to the world around us that

312
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:45.160
we don't have, then it makes
sense that once you have seen them once

313
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:52.079
you are no longer in the category
of human beings that need to be prevented

314
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:56.640
from seeing them. And again,
I'm probably just going to reference what my

315
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.680
friend told me a million times in
this interview, because she's got much more

316
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:03.640
concrete and interesting opinions about this stuff
than me. I say, opinion not

317
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:11.400
condescending or demeaning. Exactly, this
is what she's told me. Her statements

318
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:19.119
have been that these things have rules
that they generally abide by. Now there

319
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:26.440
are plans of them that do not
There are plans of them that are the

320
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:33.160
equivalent of evil or bad. They're
the minority, which makes sense because you've

321
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:41.000
got so many accounts of children and
injured adults being returned to their families and

322
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:48.079
being returned to the path that they
wundered from by these things. And then

323
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:56.079
you've got places amount Saint Helen's pre
explosion. No Native American guide would take

324
00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:00.599
a white person up there. They
would say, you're crazy. The Cannibal

325
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:04.480
Harry Cannibal's look up there. We
don't go up there. We'll be back

326
00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:15.119
with more Bigfoot society after these words
from our sponsors. If these things are

327
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:18.279
real, and I do believe that
they're real, I'm utterly convinced, on

328
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:23.640
the evidence of Jeff Meltrim alone,
this whole metatarsal ridge thing, that there

329
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:30.920
is a bipedal creature in North America
that is leaving prince that clearly lack a

330
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:37.119
mid tarsal arch that clearly exhibit mid
tarsal flexi, meaning that that joint in

331
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.519
our hand right here in the center
that flexes and the foot is fused.

332
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:48.119
You can see the pressure ridge of
sand that's being pushed up by the front

333
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:53.640
half of the foot being in contact
with the ground. When the back half

334
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:59.920
of the foot lifts up and the
foot pushes back, and you can see

335
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:06.640
at pressure ridge in muddy footprints that
have been petrified that are one and two

336
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:12.519
hundred thousand years old in Africa from
other hominids. This is pretty much ubiquitous

337
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:18.240
across the footprints that we have of
sasquatch. It's true of all of these

338
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:22.960
extremely ancient footprints that we have that
are petrified. Clearly, this is a

339
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:32.440
scientifically verifiable morphological trait in a pre
homo sapient hominid. So there's something out

340
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:34.200
there making them, right, ei, there are something out there making it.

341
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:38.000
Yeah, it's not just a random
bunch of dudes traveling around the US

342
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:42.400
with fake feet. There's no way. Yeah. Yeah. And you've got

343
00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:52.680
so many people with first hand accounts
direct mind speak who don't show any other

344
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:59.720
sign of mental illness anywhere in their
lives, don't show any other sign of

345
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:05.000
lack of integrity or a lack of
trustworthiness. These are people with PhDs,

346
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:14.960
people who are professional law enforcement state
level. So for me to dismiss all

347
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:17.680
of that out of hand because it's
weird, I really can't do that.

348
00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:23.279
Because when I was eighteen, I
showed up at a prophetic equipping conference at

349
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:28.039
a church that I did some research
on. I showed up at the difference

350
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:34.160
and I pull out my pen and
my notepad because I'm a Presian and what

351
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:37.279
you're used to is being preached at
for an hour at a time and downloading

352
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:42.759
intellectual information about God. And so
I show up and they say, Okay,

353
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:46.200
put away your pen and pencil.
There's no method here. Method is

354
00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:51.279
witchcraft and that's not what we're doing. This is just you talking to God.

355
00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:55.640
Let's all just get up and find
somebody and talk to them and say,

356
00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:59.960
Hey, God, if you want
to say anything to this person through

357
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:02.079
me, go for it. I'm
available. And that's a little more,

358
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:06.400
a little more succinct than they said
it, but that's the force of it.

359
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:10.240
So it's similar to like speaking in
tongues with Pentecostal in a way.

360
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:15.359
Yeah. So that's the other thing. Yeah, I up at this,

361
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:19.279
and I'll make this really quick.
I show up at the church. I'm

362
00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:22.720
standing in the back of the church, and at the end of the service,

363
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:24.279
they say, okay, everybody stand
up and hold hands. So all

364
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:28.519
one hundred people in the church hold
hands. Okay, at what point somebody

365
00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:31.079
says, Lord, if there's anybody
who needs to pray in a tongue or

366
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:36.640
prophesy or receiving these spiritual gift,
let them whatever. And when they said

367
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:39.599
that, I started feeling this something
in the pit of my stomach. And

368
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:44.680
they kept they were praying about like
the President of the United States or something

369
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:46.799
by the time this happened, but
it started when they prayed about that,

370
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:51.519
and suddenly I felt it was like
when you take one of those hand pumps

371
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:54.480
and you crank it and you can
hear the water coming up. Gotcha that

372
00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:00.519
sympathetic that sound way of getting shorter
and shorter. I could tell something was

373
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:04.839
about to come out of my mouth, and I went, okay, I'm

374
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:08.800
in church, Okay, all right, I'll let this out. And I

375
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:16.719
just started boom wow, me speaking
in this other language that I had tried

376
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:22.719
to fake speaking in a tongue before, because I've heard other people say,

377
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:24.280
oh yeah, I could pray in
a tongue, and they went, you

378
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:30.519
have a right. Yeah, that's
the thing that's when people try to do

379
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:37.400
it. Yeah, that's not preting
to that's just making gibberis exactly I was

380
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:43.000
not repeating phonemes. I was making
lots of different sounds, sounds that I

381
00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:46.719
had never made when I tried to
fake it, and it was clearly flowing

382
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:51.679
out of me at a speed that
I was not responsible for. So I

383
00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:53.760
slapped my hands of a hand over
my mouth, because again, I'm a

384
00:34:53.800 --> 00:35:00.440
good Presbyterian kid that doesn't leave them, still does anything wild, And over

385
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:07.119
time I was able to ease that
anxiety and lean into it. So that

386
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:12.960
happens at one point, and then
later a few years later, I go

387
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:16.239
to this prophetic equipping conference. This
guy walks up to me and we meet

388
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:20.679
up. We say, okay,
we'll be partners, and so he prays

389
00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:23.400
over me and he says a bunch
of stuff that is very accurate and very

390
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:29.760
relevant and very encouraging, and I
go, whatever, every guy my ate.

391
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:34.840
Of course, he's telling me things
about working with youth and stuff,

392
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:37.880
blah bah blah blah. Really great
attitude for showing up at a prophetic equipping

393
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:45.000
coupage. Right, And then I
look at him and I just boom the

394
00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:47.880
moment I look at him and I
say, all right, lord, what

395
00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:52.039
do you want to tell me?
I see this clear image of this kid

396
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:59.000
who has been put in time out
by his mom and she's forgotten. And

397
00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:04.239
then I clear see a student sitting
in a desk at detention and he's looking

398
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:06.920
up at the clock and I don't
know what time it is on the clock.

399
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:09.719
With the point is as he's looking
at the clock, he knows he's

400
00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:15.880
been forgotten and left and no one
is coming. And then I'm like,

401
00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:24.440
okay, anything else, Santa Barbara, California. I went, Lord,

402
00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:30.079
I've really put myself out, Santa
Barbara, California, San O Barbara,

403
00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:35.960
California. I've gone out on a
limb here. This is embarrassing, this

404
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:39.679
is I'm vulnerable here. If you
could do me a favor and not just

405
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:45.719
allow mental salad to go flowing through
my brain. I'm trying to do prophits

406
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:51.719
here. And I immediately knew that
I just needed to tell him what I

407
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:54.119
heard. So I told him and
when I said Santa Barbara, California,

408
00:36:54.400 --> 00:37:00.280
he literally stumbled backwards a little bit, and I saw the blood begin to

409
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:04.280
drain from his face. And I
should point out to you this guy had

410
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:09.000
a thick cowboy mustache, flatsher belt, buckle, wrangler jeans, cowboy boots.

411
00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:13.840
Everything about this man scream Texas.
So if I'm getting a monk with

412
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:22.639
any kind of human level connection,
it's going to be San Antonio. Have

413
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:27.760
nothing to do with anything about this
man. So he stumbles backwards and I

414
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:32.880
said, does that mean anything to
you? He goes. I spent years

415
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:37.119
in prison in Santa Barbara, California. I got to go it turns out

416
00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:46.400
and run okay, bye to And
that happened five more times where I had

417
00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:52.599
that weekend in the space of the
next seventy two hours where I stopped and

418
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:54.519
I looked at a person and I
said, Lord, what do you want

419
00:37:54.559 --> 00:38:00.000
me to tell him? And the
craziest one is there's there was this cryptographic

420
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:06.519
hash key on it where I looked
at this girl and I said, all

421
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:13.360
right, I see this stream with
a current flowing in it, and there's

422
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:17.719
like a path within the current.
And I see this wave like from the

423
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:24.079
ocean, like finding Nemo. Yeah, I'm not and I have no idea

424
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:28.679
what any of this means. And
I'm thinking, why am I thinking about

425
00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:32.679
a Disney film when I'm in the
middle of trying to tell this woman what

426
00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:38.199
I think God is telling me.
So I tell her this and I say,

427
00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:42.599
I see the stream current path.
I see a wave, and she

428
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:45.719
cuts me off and says, like
finding me. I see it away from

429
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:52.480
the ocean, like finding Nemo.
I'm like, yes, very much like

430
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:59.360
finding Nemo. Stuff like that was
happening all the Wow. The force of

431
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:01.039
all and I don't need to get
into all the rest of it, but

432
00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:07.119
the force of it is. I
am utterly convinced that God is real,

433
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:13.599
and for other reasons besides that I've
seen other miraculous things. My point is

434
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:21.199
that the phenomenon of mind speaking is
in the Bible. I don't know what

435
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:28.079
you would call prophetic words or prophetic
utterances, if not mind speak, it's

436
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:35.079
God's speaking. From a Christian metaphysics
point of view. If you believe that

437
00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:42.039
God is doing this, and then
you look everywhere else at all of the

438
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:47.079
other miraculous events of the Old and
New Testament, and you realize that none

439
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:55.360
of them are really in just abject
defiant and just way off and left field

440
00:39:55.760 --> 00:40:01.119
aberration from nature. They are in
some way an object lesson which is not

441
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:05.360
to say that they're not real or
metaphorical. I think they really happen.

442
00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:09.320
But all of the things that God
is doing in all these other places are

443
00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:15.239
somehow metaphysically tied into the nature of
reality, and he's trying to get your

444
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:19.119
attention and tell you something real.
I don't know why you would look at

445
00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:27.119
that and that at prophetic utterances and
say, clearly, the only way that

446
00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:32.199
that's real is directly between God and
man. Right, Because I've also heard

447
00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:39.360
a number of very reliable witnesses talk
about astral projection, I think that astral

448
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:45.199
projection is absolutely a real thing.
Sindbad. On an interview with Pete Holmes

449
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:47.239
on that You Made It Weird podcast
was talked about with the young man.

450
00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:52.519
Did you hear that episode? I
haven't heard that. I know that podcast

451
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:55.519
is pretty wild and crazy. Yeah, I have to check out that episode

452
00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:59.559
though, you should. He gets
into it. He talks to his dad,

453
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:02.320
who's a deacon in the Baptist Hey, dad is real, and his

454
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:07.000
dad goes less real, You don't
want to mess with it. It's real.

455
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:10.880
Wow, that's with it. And
he projected to his parents' house and

456
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:16.000
saw particular package and saw them open
the package and take a particular object out

457
00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:20.320
of it. And so he calls
up his parents afterwards and says, are

458
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:22.039
you guys sitting at the table.
Did you just open a FedEx package?

459
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:24.440
Did you just take this out of
the package? And the dad goes,

460
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:30.880
yeah, all of those things are
actor. Why oh crap. You know.

461
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:35.039
So that was Pete Holmes or Sinbad
that did that. That was oh

462
00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:39.000
wow, oh wow. Okay,
yeah that after he did that a few

463
00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:45.159
times, some entity grabbed a hold
of him and was holding on to him,

464
00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:50.400
and he freaked out and was terrifying, and he opened up a connection

465
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:53.639
there exactly. Oh Lord, Jesus, get me out of this and I'll

466
00:41:53.679 --> 00:42:01.480
never get again. But what's wild
is I have two other friends who I

467
00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:09.280
know personally, one of whom has
astral projected a number of times and has

468
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:15.920
had that experience with seeing shadowing these
extra dimensional entities in the room with him.

469
00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:21.400
That was terrifying. Oh wow,
guy's got no mental health problems,

470
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:27.679
he's not a liar, and of
utter absolute integrity. He always plays a

471
00:42:27.719 --> 00:42:36.599
paladin in Yeah, that's awesome.
And I have another friend who's found stick

472
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:43.760
structures on his property and around the
area I live along the Savannah River and

473
00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:47.840
I have both found stick structures around
the Savannah River and me about his dad.

474
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:53.079
Nobody taught him to do this nobody
let him up. He just he

475
00:42:53.119 --> 00:43:00.360
could just astral project, just doing
it. And he was doing it through

476
00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:04.960
his twenties and thirties and forties,
and when he was a little bit older,

477
00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:07.559
he said that one time he just
went a lot farther than he had

478
00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:13.800
ever gone before, and he said
was terrifying because he suddenly realized, I'm

479
00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:16.519
not one hundred percent sure that if
I go any further, I'll be able

480
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:21.880
to find my way back. And
so we never again. This guy was

481
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:28.960
a Christian. This is a guy
who's dabbling in witchcraft, Wicca or New

482
00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:35.760
Age he kind of methods or anything. I think it's just the fabric of

483
00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:39.280
reality and what it means to be
a human being and to be tapped into

484
00:43:39.880 --> 00:43:49.880
the metaphysical world around us is a
lot weirder than most modern American prisuma not

485
00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:57.840
what it is. Yeah, it's
because we're so distracted by the phone,

486
00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:01.559
the TV, whatever, We totally
don't see any of that stuff going on.

487
00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:07.480
We don't even think to look up
and notice. And yeah, myself,

488
00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:16.800
personally, I'm very careful about what
I associate with, just because,

489
00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:22.679
as you said, like the sindbad
he opened up that door and then he

490
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:28.519
had to deal with the maybe things
coming into his life, things coming home.

491
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:31.639
But that's a personal thing for me. That's just something that I've decided

492
00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:35.800
for myself. But yeah, it's
crazy, the stuff that's out there.

493
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:40.559
If you open your eyes, it's
nuts. And so many people that I

494
00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:47.079
had heard talk about the mind speak
aspect. Once they open that door,

495
00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:54.519
there's a very high likelihood that they're
going to talk about Sasquatch as teachers,

496
00:44:55.480 --> 00:45:04.159
as reality and protectors. And my
friend has had multiple instances where she has

497
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:09.159
been protected. We'll be back with
more Bigfoot society after these words from our

498
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:23.159
sponsors, by the Sasquatch people that
live either near her or portal in and

499
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:29.320
everything. That's the other thing.
So here's let me just pivot from her

500
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:34.079
for a second. I was speaking
a guy named Bob at a Bigfoot conference.

501
00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:37.519
This man has been a sheriff both
a guy named Bob at a big

502
00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:44.320
Foot conference. It's not Bob Gimlin
it okay. But I talked to this

503
00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:46.639
guy for a long time, long
enough to get a very good sense of

504
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:51.599
him, very good sense of his
character. Clearly, the man doesn't have

505
00:45:51.719 --> 00:45:55.400
screws loose or anything. And he
was talking to me about how he and

506
00:45:55.440 --> 00:46:00.920
a number of other people had been
doing these regular expeditions into an area where

507
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:05.800
there was a lot of activity.
But one of the guys walked into a

508
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:14.400
portal because he was walking along and
suddenly he's just gone. No one else

509
00:46:14.440 --> 00:46:19.239
in the he's this guy, and
he's six to eight to ten feet away

510
00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:22.599
from the other people. It's not
like he's obscured by brush. The brush

511
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:28.159
was not eight ten feet high.
There wasn't anything to obscure him. And

512
00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:34.480
he said, I couldn't see anybody
else in the group either, and clearly

513
00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:38.199
I was in a different place.
I was not seeing the same woods that

514
00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:44.239
I had been seeing. So I
froze, I backed up in a straight

515
00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:50.039
line, and then everybody could see
him again. Really, I don't know

516
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:55.519
what that is other than some sort
of portal, some sort of fold in

517
00:46:55.639 --> 00:47:01.880
time and space. And I can't
tell you how many people have talked about

518
00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:08.039
this whole portal thing, right,
the idea that sasquatch can portal and teleport

519
00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:15.679
and whatever. As a Christian who
believes in the supernatural, who believes in

520
00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:22.800
angel who believes that fill up.
When he was walking to Macedonia, suddenly

521
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:27.880
was in Macedonia, which was like
on the other side of Asia minor or

522
00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:31.599
whatever. Exactly. There's just no
way. You don't get dope, you

523
00:47:31.639 --> 00:47:46.920
don't get drowsy and suddenly wong by
the idea that someone who is even very

524
00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:53.480
religiously conservative needs to have a problem
with the supernatural aspect of bigfoot. I

525
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:58.000
just that's one of the things.
That's one of the birds under my saddle

526
00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:00.760
is, Guys, if you're going
to believe God and angels and demons and

527
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:05.960
everything, let's get weird man.
Let's roll up. Wow, that's interesting.

528
00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:13.920
That is very interesting. Let's saying
yeah, so I can tell obviously

529
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:17.440
you're very intellectual guy. So I
had a question for you. Let's say,

530
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:23.079
uh, what are the wether like
the top five or top three bigfoot

531
00:48:23.119 --> 00:48:27.800
type books that you recommend. When
let's say someone comes up to you like,

532
00:48:27.800 --> 00:48:30.519
hey, what do I read?
I can tell you've read a lot.

533
00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:37.199
Yeah, that's a good question.
I would say that. Jeff,

534
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:44.519
this is a really short read Jeff
Belder paper that he submitted to peer review

535
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:51.679
and was published by the Smithsonian Institute
on the Patterson Gimblin track way. It's

536
00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:57.960
a fantastic paper to read that went. He gears specifically to be a more

537
00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:02.400
accessible to non PhDs, because,
like I said, I had to crack

538
00:49:02.440 --> 00:49:07.599
out, crack up in Wikipedia and
look at the number of missions. But

539
00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:09.519
for the most part it was pretty
readable, and it will give you a

540
00:49:10.719 --> 00:49:20.000
very clear, scientifically grounded argument for
why and how people who are intellectually and

541
00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:25.239
scientifically rigorous believe that these are real
creatures. Tom Powell's book was really great.

542
00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:30.679
I loved it. I really loved
his book. I'm trying to think

543
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:40.800
I've read so many and I wasn't
anticipating that question. Gosh, that is

544
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:45.880
tough. Lauren Coleman's book was really
good. I've read so many it's hard

545
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:50.880
to keep all the titles straight.
But for me, honestly, at the

546
00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:54.079
end of the day, a lot
of these books are fantastic, and I

547
00:49:54.119 --> 00:50:00.039
am so that these authors have spent
this time put this material together, the

548
00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:06.400
books. But for me, a
lot of the reading material that I am

549
00:50:06.440 --> 00:50:10.440
so grateful that I spent literally at
this point probably shamefully for thousands of hours

550
00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:17.400
reading is all the different databases,
the BFRORO dot net database, Oregon Sasquatch,

551
00:50:17.519 --> 00:50:29.159
the gal that wrote Enoch and that's
its own weird little rabbit trail of

552
00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:34.239
its own. But she's got a
database. And I've read through the entire

553
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:39.760
contents of about a handful of databases
and try to really soak up as much

554
00:50:40.119 --> 00:50:49.079
direct, the highest volume, most
direct narrative experience of the common person.

555
00:50:49.119 --> 00:50:52.119
What does it mean for your average
person to bump into a sasquatch? Because

556
00:50:52.239 --> 00:51:00.400
let's say most of the people are
hearing or they're hearing, they're hearing the

557
00:51:00.599 --> 00:51:08.639
howel or screech. Most people aren't
seeing it. But to me, he

558
00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:15.079
said Piske National Forest recently, and
I asked three different people, have you

559
00:51:15.159 --> 00:51:20.679
seen any sasquatch around here? All
three of them told me I haven't seen

560
00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:22.719
one, but I've seen evidence of
them. One guy who was the owner

561
00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:28.599
of the property told me of a
creek on a ridge behind the place where

562
00:51:28.639 --> 00:51:34.800
we were staying, where he regularly
finds footprints, This man in the sand.

563
00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:38.519
And then the young man who his
family had moved into one of this

564
00:51:38.599 --> 00:51:43.679
guy's. This guy owns a handful
of properties along the valley. This guy,

565
00:51:43.760 --> 00:51:49.320
this kid was telling me about how
he moved in and he was alone

566
00:51:49.360 --> 00:51:54.519
at the house. The power goes
out, which is coincidental but he heard

567
00:51:54.559 --> 00:52:00.039
this scream coming from up the valley, and he said, the first thing

568
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:07.400
that my brain told me was,
you have never heard this before. This

569
00:52:07.480 --> 00:52:13.519
is nothing on anything you've ever heard
before. And it was so powerful and

570
00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:19.239
loud. And what's wild is after
that he was sitting in the room and

571
00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:22.480
he just suddenly his brain told him, whatever, do not turn your head,

572
00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:28.079
do not look at the window.
Do not look. So I think

573
00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:31.679
that one of these things walked up
to the building and looked in because they

574
00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:35.440
had only been in there for a
couple of days, and it was basically

575
00:52:35.480 --> 00:52:40.239
going, Okay, who just moved
into my valley? You are? And

576
00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:44.960
again that's that's the tale was oldest
time. There's so many people that report

577
00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:50.119
this behavior of them a little brazen
when there's a window between the two of

578
00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:52.760
you and they walk up to the
edge of it and stare at you for

579
00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:59.599
a moment and then walk away.
Anyway, So the number of the volume

580
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:05.400
for me of accounts that I've read
outweighs even these books that I've read.

581
00:53:06.039 --> 00:53:09.079
But again, I would definitely recommend
Tom Powell's book. He's somebody who,

582
00:53:09.719 --> 00:53:16.000
like me, is very steeped in
the scientific For him, he's steeped in

583
00:53:16.039 --> 00:53:21.199
the scientific tradition, right, whereas
I would say that I'm probably more steeped

584
00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:28.239
in the religious tradition. But both
of us have this community around us telling

585
00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:34.639
us, oh, you just you
can't affect yourself respect others. Yeah,

586
00:53:34.679 --> 00:53:38.880
exactly, which there's just some oppositional, defiant part of me. By Tom

587
00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:51.719
Be goes seriously follow up question to
the book question, not that I have

588
00:53:51.840 --> 00:53:54.719
actually spent the man hours to try
to look into this, but maybe you

589
00:53:54.880 --> 00:53:59.559
have because of what we've talked about
so far. Have you ever found any

590
00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:07.119
book or things where it's they tie
together the Bigfoot or cryptids to the religious

591
00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:13.039
stuff that we've been talking about,
Any of any things like that exist out

592
00:54:13.039 --> 00:54:15.800
there in the print world that you've
stumbled upon, or maybe it's something that

593
00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:21.440
needs to be created, you know, I did. I found a gentleman

594
00:54:21.880 --> 00:54:28.639
who wrote a book that is very
difficult to get your hands on because it's

595
00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:32.800
out of print, where he tried
to go through the Bible and basically say,

596
00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:37.800
places where they're talking about weird things
having to do with giants, they're

597
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:45.199
really talking about Bigfoot. Well,
I found his argument to be totally compelling.

598
00:54:45.639 --> 00:54:50.800
Like I said, I've studied the
Nephelene thing. I've gone to the

599
00:54:50.840 --> 00:54:54.000
original text and looked at the Hebrew
and trying to figure out what they're talking

600
00:54:54.039 --> 00:54:59.599
about. And from what I can
understand, they're talking about descendants of angels.

601
00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:02.000
For us, well, what we're
talking about with Bigfoot is from what

602
00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:07.280
I can tell, the North American
Bigfoot as opposed to the hominids in South

603
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:12.719
Africa that I forgot the guy's name, but he's an elephant and lion researcher.

604
00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:15.119
He's seen them a handful of times, and he has other people in

605
00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:22.079
his really personal circle and contact who
have seen them. Yeah, so that's

606
00:55:22.119 --> 00:55:28.519
the crazy thing. There's hominids in
South Africa. There's hominids Indonesia, there's

607
00:55:28.599 --> 00:55:35.559
hominids in the Southeastern Nation Peninsula.
There's so many accounts of gis coming back

608
00:55:35.599 --> 00:55:40.360
from Vietnam. Rocket. Yeah,
the rocket read one account of a helicopter

609
00:55:40.440 --> 00:55:45.039
pilot talked about coming over a ridge
and there's just this six foot tall ape

610
00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:50.719
man in the top of the truth
in full view, clearly doing the chimp

611
00:55:50.800 --> 00:55:58.039
thing of a physical display where it's
just tree back and forth trying to scare

612
00:55:58.079 --> 00:56:05.000
off a helicopter. And then you've
got them all up and down Eurasia.

613
00:56:05.079 --> 00:56:12.920
And again what's wild is really there
is this distinct subspecies in Eurasia that is

614
00:56:13.119 --> 00:56:21.559
not sasquatch in North America or the
I think the same thing or a similar

615
00:56:21.639 --> 00:56:25.519
thing in North America is what's down
in South Africa. Because in South Africa

616
00:56:25.880 --> 00:56:30.960
those things get up to above seven
feet tall. And we're talking about the

617
00:56:31.039 --> 00:56:40.119
same genetic set of the same sort
of genes that allowed a descendant of apes

618
00:56:40.280 --> 00:56:46.679
to bulk up to a size that
is able to cope with the swing in

619
00:56:46.800 --> 00:56:52.360
temperature. And for me, that's
one of the most mind blowing things that

620
00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:55.159
people told Pove the idea of bigfoot, and you go, do you know

621
00:56:55.199 --> 00:57:00.639
what a dire beaver is? It's
a beaver the size of a bulk swaggon.

622
00:57:01.119 --> 00:57:06.639
People forget that stuff used to be
super big. I don't know why

623
00:57:06.679 --> 00:57:13.079
people. Yeah, yeah, every
every and when I say every, every

624
00:57:13.239 --> 00:57:24.559
species of mammal has a branch of
its zoological treaty that optimized to overcome seriously

625
00:57:24.599 --> 00:57:29.039
frigid conditions. And so they got
big because that's the only thing nature can

626
00:57:29.079 --> 00:57:32.599
do, right. So the bigger
you are, it shifts the ratio as

627
00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:39.559
you get bigger, your surface area
to volume ratio shifts, and suddenly you've

628
00:57:39.599 --> 00:57:45.599
got way more volume than surface area, which means you're not losing as much

629
00:57:45.639 --> 00:57:52.280
of your general metabolic work that you've
done to warm up your body out your

630
00:57:52.320 --> 00:57:55.920
skin, and so you're able to
regulate your body temperature. That's why everything

631
00:57:57.079 --> 00:58:01.719
gets huge when the poles shift,
and the ia is you've got to get

632
00:58:01.760 --> 00:58:08.679
big or die. Of course,
they're scientifically speaking in order to say there's

633
00:58:08.800 --> 00:58:15.079
no such thing as a hominid that
weighs eight hundred pounds, and that's an

634
00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:21.639
absurd idea. That's a foolish statement
to me. It's a scientifically empirically stupid

635
00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:25.440
thing to say. The only question
is are they still around? Right?

636
00:58:25.719 --> 00:58:32.440
And it boggles my mind that people
support about the idea that they're not so

637
00:58:32.599 --> 00:58:38.840
around. And again I've heard and
this is where you get into this one

638
00:58:39.280 --> 00:58:43.320
eats the road right, people say, okay, you take this serious secret,

639
00:58:43.519 --> 00:58:46.360
where's the body? And then what
do you believe in some sort of

640
00:58:46.440 --> 00:58:52.079
government conspiracy? And again that's one
of those statements that I'm not trying to

641
00:58:52.079 --> 00:58:53.960
be ugly to people who have said
that to other people, but there's a

642
00:58:53.960 --> 00:59:01.239
certain amount of intellectual bullying, a
certain amount of condescension and statement. But

643
00:59:02.239 --> 00:59:10.000
we are absolutely aware of a number
of different, concerted, broad attempts that

644
00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:16.400
the United States Government has made to
suppress certain bits of information. So I

645
00:59:16.440 --> 00:59:25.320
don't understand why people find it to
be laughable when you propose that within the

646
00:59:27.599 --> 00:59:34.159
forget about hydra it's just a seizing
call. The United States bureaucratic system across

647
00:59:34.480 --> 00:59:39.880
all of these different government branches is
buck wild, right. You've got different

648
00:59:40.079 --> 00:59:45.079
organizations stepping on each other's toes,
grabbing for jurisdiction, other people pushing off

649
00:59:45.119 --> 00:59:52.119
responsibility onto others. From what I
can tell, it doesn't take a top

650
00:59:52.280 --> 00:59:58.239
down, unilateral, ubiquitous effort to
pull off this Bigfoot conspiracy. All you

651
00:59:58.360 --> 01:00:04.960
need is what the Bigfoot community already
gives the United States government, which is

652
01:00:05.360 --> 01:00:15.480
a set of people generating questionable material
so that you can't just laugh it off

653
01:00:15.679 --> 01:00:21.519
if anything real ever does show up, and then you just send people to

654
01:00:21.559 --> 01:00:25.480
scoop up the bodies, and you
just get a little old Jewish couple watched

655
01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:32.000
the Bigfoot get struck and mortally wounded
by a semi truck, and they gave

656
01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:36.480
their full report. They walked over
to the thing. They looked at it,

657
01:00:36.519 --> 01:00:38.280
they saw its face, it's hands, its feet, It wasn't a

658
01:00:38.280 --> 01:00:42.360
bear. They knew what they were
looking at, and they went, this

659
01:00:42.519 --> 01:00:45.679
is it, this is it,
and it's finally going to come out.

660
01:00:45.760 --> 01:00:53.000
So they ran home and they watched
the news and that's crazy, not locally,

661
01:00:53.039 --> 01:00:58.440
not nationally, and they said that
the people that showed up that kind

662
01:00:58.480 --> 01:01:07.519
of took over were very much just
squashing, not surprising. Yeah, that

663
01:01:07.719 --> 01:01:10.960
sort of event. That's the level
of conspiracy that we're talking about. It's

664
01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:17.639
not necessarily full on men in black
UFO stuff. It's just anybody in any

665
01:01:17.719 --> 01:01:25.039
department who has a big foot body
on their hands knows that this is going

666
01:01:25.079 --> 01:01:30.159
to be a nightmare for them if
this gets big or it goes any farther.

667
01:01:30.880 --> 01:01:36.960
That's the message that's been broadcast and
you can't deny that right nobody,

668
01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:42.599
whether they believe in the phenomenon or
not, if you're just responsible and you've

669
01:01:42.639 --> 01:01:47.599
read into it and looked into it. Clearly, that is a ubiquitous psychological

670
01:01:47.679 --> 01:01:52.079
pressure on people who work for the
government is that they don't want to deal

671
01:01:52.119 --> 01:01:54.920
with it. And so I think
that's why the issue has stayed quiet,

672
01:01:55.199 --> 01:01:59.400
honest. That's yeah, that's a
very interesting take on it. I agree

673
01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:06.280
with that. Believe it or not, we have gotten crazy through the time.

674
01:02:06.360 --> 01:02:08.280
This has been an amazing episode.
I love talking to you. What

675
01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:12.239
is it that real cool? What
is it that you do? I've been

676
01:02:12.239 --> 01:02:15.800
trying to figure out what it is. I'm a software engineer, Okay,

677
01:02:15.840 --> 01:02:17.920
I was gonna guess. I was
like, this has got to be a

678
01:02:17.960 --> 01:02:22.280
computer guy because I'm a software engineer
too, and I'm like, I'm just

679
01:02:22.320 --> 01:02:28.000
getting a real software analytic dude guy, and this is Yeah, So that's

680
01:02:28.039 --> 01:02:30.679
awesome. I love it, very
cool, very cool. I get you

681
01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:43.360
asked what books you read? Books? Yeah? Anything. Can people catch

682
01:02:43.440 --> 01:02:46.960
up with you in any ways if
they're interested in content you're creating or anything

683
01:02:47.039 --> 01:02:51.800
like that, go ahead, yeah, anything. If you look me up,

684
01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:57.360
I'm j Sewitch J s U I
c h pretty much everywhere, Facebook

685
01:02:57.400 --> 01:03:01.400
and whatever. And if you want
to see me play D and D with

686
01:03:01.440 --> 01:03:08.760
some other fellow philosophy college buddies,
you can the Starfall Collective. Excuse me,

687
01:03:08.800 --> 01:03:14.559
We're on Twitch and YouTube. Oh
cool, Reddit? Okay, so

688
01:03:14.719 --> 01:03:19.000
Starfall Collective. Jeremiah, thank you
so much for having me on. I

689
01:03:19.000 --> 01:03:31.079
appreciate a lot. You got it
here at Bigfoot Society, art goal is

690
01:03:31.119 --> 01:03:37.960
to provide a platform for those that
have encountered Bigfoot to share their encounter and

691
01:03:37.039 --> 01:03:42.639
a safe and respected environment. But
we need to hear your story. If

692
01:03:42.679 --> 01:03:49.239
you've experienced something that you just can't
explain, please send me an email at

693
01:03:49.280 --> 01:03:53.079
Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com.
Then we can start the conversation. And

694
01:03:53.159 --> 01:03:59.239
I know a lot of you have
not shared your encounter at all. It's

695
01:03:59.280 --> 01:04:03.840
been twenty years and it's time that
you get this off your chest and then

696
01:04:03.880 --> 01:04:06.840
you can get some well deserved for
rest, because I know you haven't been

697
01:04:06.880 --> 01:04:13.400
sleeping. I understand what you're going
through, and I appreciate every one of you listening
