Season 1

What happens when a quiet weekend in Missouri turns into a chilling encounter with two creatures that shouldn’t exist?



In this gripping and recent episode, we hear from James, a listener from the Ozarks who recounts a string of intense encounters — from eerie owl mimicry and bone-rattling whoops in the night, to the day he and his girlfriend saw two humanlike figures wading through Fellows Lake… and vanish right before their eyes.



You’ll hear stories from the Mark Twain National Forest, Coy Bald, Assumption Abbey, and Fellows Lake — complete with wood knocks, massive pinecones thrown at their tent, overpowering smells, and a close-up encounter with beings that defy logic. Could these creatures cloak themselves to avoid detection? Are there Sasquatch with the ability to become nearly invisible?



More than just another encounter, James’s story taps into something deeper — the strange connection between curiosity, intuition, and the parts of the woods we’re not meant to understand.
Don’t miss this one.

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.600
You're listening to Big for Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron.

2
00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:06.040
Tonight's account comes from James, a regular guy from Missouri

3
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:09.519
with thought Bigfoot was just an internet mystery until the

4
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.960
Woods started watching him back. I'm not going to really

5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:14.759
say what happens in this one, but I'm going to

6
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:19.199
say it's an important interview for a few reasons that

7
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:24.399
you'll find out later on. Things are talked about that

8
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.839
I think are going to really affect how people view

9
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.440
Bigfoot after this interview. So this is the story of

10
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:33.960
what James saw in the ozarks of Missouri and why

11
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:36.399
he'll never look at the Woods the same way again.

12
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.159
So stay with us, all right, Big for Society. You've

13
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:43.439
got the privilege of talking to James today. James is

14
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.000
an individual that is a listener to the show over

15
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.840
on YouTube, and we got connected about some things that

16
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:53.719
have happened to him in the state of Missouri. So

17
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:55.799
thank you so much for coming on the show. James.

18
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:56.479
How's it going.

19
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.000
Today, I'm doing it well.

20
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.079
How are you doing great? It's a great day. Able

21
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:06.000
to talk to people about their encounters. Can't beat that. So,

22
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.000
you know, James, I want to make sure you have

23
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.040
the time to share things that have happened to you

24
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:12.879
over the last few years. So I'm going to go

25
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.200
ahead and pass the mic over to you so you

26
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.400
can take us back as far back as we need

27
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:19.599
to go.

28
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.079
Man, that sounds good. I appreciate that. Well, my story

29
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.000
is I've got three, i think four episodes that I

30
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.799
can share. None of them are particularly you know, shocking

31
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.120
or anything, but they are absolutely true and I would

32
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.719
like to share them. So the first one happened about

33
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:41.879
three summers ago. I was painting a house. Well, me

34
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:43.840
and a couple of guys were painting a house out

35
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.959
on Highway right outside of Springfield, Missouri, and it's a

36
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.040
big house that's on one side. On the back side

37
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.760
of the house is a sheer bluff like a cliff

38
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:55.799
that goes down to a river. At the front side

39
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.599
of the house, he's got this big pond that him

40
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.760
and his wife had stocked full of and it's so

41
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.200
full that literally when you look down in there, you

42
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.159
see so many small bass you wonder, like, how are

43
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.159
these things not cannibalizing each other, like they're gonna have

44
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.080
no problem survive and if they need to survive off

45
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:16.840
this pond. So this particular day, we'd finished for the

46
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.039
day and everybody had left except for me and my

47
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.039
buddy Cliff, who was working with us, and we were

48
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.960
down at the pond and it had just started raining,

49
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.280
this drizzling, no nothing heavy, And as soon as the

50
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:34.120
drizzle started from across the pond, we heard an owl.

51
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:36.879
I thought, oh cool, and now it's kind of strange

52
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:38.400
for it to be out during the day. But you know,

53
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.000
I'm I'm not a wildlife expert. So I hooted back,

54
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.199
and then it hooted back at me again, and so

55
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.560
I did the exchange one more time, and then it

56
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.000
exchanged one more time, except this third time it went

57
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.520
like this frustrated sounding like growl thing, like almost as

58
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.759
if like it just realized that I was a person.

59
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.240
And the guy with me, Cliff, he says, WHOA, that's

60
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.800
not an owl. And I looked at him and said, yeah,

61
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.520
I know, I think it's a sasquatch, and he just

62
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.479
kind of laughed at me and he said something like, oh,

63
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:13.520
you know, whatever, there's no sasquatch. So that that was

64
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:18.800
literally it for that for that episode. That in itself

65
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:24.439
is not too significant, but the following summer, my girlfriend

66
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.199
and I and our son went camping at a place

67
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:34.400
in called Koi Bald. It's in Kissy Mills, Missouri. And

68
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:36.719
by this time, you know, I've already been watching some

69
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.360
shows and stuff, and I know a little bit about Sasquatch,

70
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:41.919
you're you know, a little bit that I've learned from

71
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.840
other people. And so as soon as we pull up there,

72
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:48.080
I notice, we get out, we start sending up the

73
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.240
tents and this is like it's it's in the Mark

74
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:54.120
Twain National Forest, and it's pretty secluded. There's nobody else

75
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.199
out there. It's a wide, a very wide but slow

76
00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.960
moving river, but it's like, you know, knee deep in someplace,

77
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.199
is way deeep in others. Well, any ways, we get

78
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:08.560
out there and we're setting up and I hear bang, bang,

79
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.400
bang coming from the other side of the river. I

80
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.199
think to myself, Oh, that's somebody out there shooting a shotgun.

81
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.800
But it sounded kind of weird. It had like almost

82
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:21.519
like a muffled quality to it, so it sounded somewhat

83
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.360
like a shotgun bit different, And we heard it a

84
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.720
couple more times as we were setting up, bang bang

85
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.920
bang in threes. I didn't really think too much of it.

86
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:37.120
Later that evening, it was, you know, it had already

87
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:38.839
the sun had already gone down, and we were sitting

88
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:40.600
by the fire and I heard it a couple more

89
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.720
times from across the river, and I thought, well, that's

90
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:48.560
strange because there's nobody out here, it's dark, and who

91
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.480
the heck is out there shooting a shotgun. And then

92
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:52.639
we got to talking about it, and I realized, well,

93
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.560
you can't really shoot a shotgun and that click of

94
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:56.920
a succession you have to pump the you know, you

95
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.639
have to pump the chamber or whatever, pump the rounds,

96
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:04.240
and so it'd be more like bang bang bang, whereas

97
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:09.480
these were bang bang bang. It's okay, you know, we

98
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.519
talked about that thought it was a little weird. Left

99
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.319
it off about two o'clock in the morning, and I

100
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.319
only know it was about two o'clock because my girlfriend

101
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.199
told me afterwards. But and there's the middle of the

102
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:23.680
night we wake up to whodowls. But the weird thing

103
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.920
about it is there's like a five of them and

104
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.600
they're surrounding our camp. And these things sound like they're

105
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.519
like they got to be like fifty pounds to be

106
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:35.199
this loud. I mean, it's just ridiculous loud, scared the

107
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.079
crap out of us. So I get up out of ten.

108
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:41.000
I'm walking around with my hatchet in my hand. It

109
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.600
quit as soon as I went outside, of course, and

110
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.879
that was pretty much the end of that one, with

111
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.160
the exception of the following day, we hiked to upstream

112
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:57.279
a little ways and we came across this muddy spot

113
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.439
in the river bank and we noticed that there was

114
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.639
like a bunch of deer hoof prints and a bunch

115
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.800
of like slide marks, like there had been some kind

116
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.120
of scuffle there. But the strange thing about it is

117
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.079
we did notice also that there was a bare footprint

118
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.800
and the mud amongst those deer prints, And like I said,

119
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:19.160
there was nobody else out there but us. But the

120
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:22.920
thing about this bare footprint, it wasn't super large. I mean,

121
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.040
if anything, it was maybe just a couple of inches

122
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.319
larger than my foot and I wear a size ten

123
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:32.680
ten and a half sometimes. But just that alone, and

124
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.720
just you know, with it coupled with the other things

125
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.399
that happened, it just seemed, you know, really it really

126
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:44.600
stuck with us, you know. Yeah, So we just kind

127
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.680
of chopped that up to the sasquatch especially the thing

128
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:53.959
with the hood owls. And then another experience, which was

129
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.800
a few weeks ago, my girlfriend and I went out

130
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:04.199
to a place in avam Is there called Assumption Abbey.

131
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.240
We found it on a campsite website and we went

132
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.600
out there just to poke around and look for rocks

133
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:12.839
and see if there's a good place to camp. Well,

134
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.079
apparently there's a monastery out there I didn't know about.

135
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.800
And we found a road where it says road closed,

136
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.360
but we drove down it anyways, waded up at the river.

137
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:28.199
And this particular incident wasn't what I would call like significant,

138
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.480
and there's a lot of open ended stuff about it.

139
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.800
But anyways, my girlfriend and I we were by the

140
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:38.439
river bank looking at rocks, and all of a sudden,

141
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:40.360
out of nowhere, it smelled like somebody just took a

142
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.240
big dump right there in between the two of us,

143
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.279
Like it came out of nowhere. We were stationary, we

144
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:48.480
were not walking, and I didn't really think too much

145
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.720
of it. We were just like, show man, what's up

146
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:56.120
with that? And then immediately like I felt dizzy, like

147
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.319
I almost passed out literally, and my girlfriend had the

148
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.480
same experience at the same time. I didn't realize that

149
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.360
was going on with her, because she immediately just walked

150
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:06.160
over to the jeep and sat down. And I'd stayed

151
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.240
on the bank and continued to look at rocks. But then,

152
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:10.079
you know, like two to three minutes later, I walked

153
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:14.040
back up the jeep. I was like, man, that's so weird.

154
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:15.360
You know. I told her what happened. She said, yeah,

155
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:17.759
that's why I came and sat down in here. Said

156
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:19.519
I felt like I was about to pass out too,

157
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.800
so we got out of there. That was the entirety

158
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:30.639
of that story. Now the final one, it was a

159
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.120
little bit more significant. I would say. It was on

160
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:40.120
July fourteenth. The sun was just getting ready to start

161
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:44.039
going down. It was still, you know, light out, and

162
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:47.879
we were at Fellows Lake in Springfield, Missouri, which I

163
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.759
don't know if you're familiar with that place, but it's

164
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.759
really not that far outside of town. I mean, there's

165
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:59.679
houses within driving distance for sure. So we were sitting

166
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.440
in the jeep at the spot that we had a

167
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:06.240
first date, just kind of reminiscing, and where we were

168
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.200
parked at is kind of like a little channel in

169
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:12.399
the lake and the bank basically is about half a

170
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:16.679
football field distance from where we were sitting. And the

171
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.519
crazy thing about this is, you know, only several football

172
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:24.120
fields distance to the right were people fishing. So we're

173
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.159
sitting there and we're looking across the water and my girl,

174
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:29.879
my girlfriend, says, hey, what are they doing? And I

175
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:35.919
look over and I see these two people waiting in

176
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.159
the water on the other side of the lake. We

177
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:42.279
just had a bunch of storms, so the water was

178
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:45.120
really high. Everything was trashed down here or it was

179
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.200
you know, at the time, trees and when it was

180
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.600
just a mess. But these two people were waiting around

181
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.159
on the other side of the lake and waist deep

182
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:55.919
in the water. And the thing about it is, you're

183
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:57.600
you know, first of all, you're not supposed to be

184
00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:02.240
in the water at this lake. Secondly, like it was

185
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.879
just it was gross because of all the storms and stuff.

186
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.679
And we noticed that well, both of these people seemed

187
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.000
to be dressed exactly the same. They're both wearing like

188
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.480
this brown garb, and they both had At first it

189
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:17.840
looked like they had bald heads, because they had like

190
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:21.879
this lighter colored patch up towards where I was seeing

191
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.399
the head the bead. But the more I looked at it,

192
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.799
I realized that there was more to them above that

193
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:30.039
light colored patch. When my girlfriend first thought saw it,

194
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:31.639
she was like, what the heck. You know, we stared

195
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.080
at him for a minute and they were just kind

196
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.840
of walking around, looking straight down into the water like

197
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.360
they had lost something or perhaps we're looking for something.

198
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.600
Their movements through the water were a little We're a

199
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:46.679
little weird too. The way that they walked it was like,

200
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.720
I just I don't know how to explain it properly,

201
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:53.360
but it looked different than a person wading through the water.

202
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.519
It's just that there's so much ease to it. It

203
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.919
was weird. It's hard to describe or anything about it is.

204
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:02.879
You know, We're still staring at them, and they walk

205
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.360
to the shore and one of them is he stays

206
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:10.039
in the water and he's facing towards the shore, and

207
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.559
the other one gets up. The other person or whatever

208
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.399
gets up out of the water. So this part's going

209
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:16.879
to make me sound crazy, but I don't know how

210
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:21.039
else i'll say it. As we're looking at them and

211
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:22.879
he's standing up out of the water. As he's coming

212
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:25.879
up out of the water, he seems to be disappearing.

213
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:30.080
My girlfriend like, I don't see him anymore. I said, no,

214
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.200
he's there. I can see him standing there because every

215
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:34.600
once in a while I see a little bit of movement,

216
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:37.240
so I can see that he's there. And then the

217
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.399
other one person whatever gets up out of the water.

218
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:42.559
It's the same thing. They're both there. I can barely

219
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:44.600
see that they're there, but at the same time, they

220
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:46.679
don't look like they're there. And what I mean by

221
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:51.240
that is, no matter which way they turned or we're standing,

222
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:53.840
it seemed like they were the exact same color as

223
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:57.799
the background. And it's like, and it's not like the

224
00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:59.840
background was just all one color. Like I was looking

225
00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:01.960
at just the bank and trees, but there was like

226
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.399
fallen logs and all kinds of other stuff that were like,

227
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:08.080
you know, different textures and colors and stuff. It just

228
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:12.320
didn't make sense to me, but that's exactly what happened.

229
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:16.159
And they both stood there on the bank for a

230
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.679
little while, and I mean, you know, I can't say

231
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.320
for sure, but I just had the sense like we

232
00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.600
were just staring at each other, and then they both

233
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:25.840
just kind of walked backwards into this black spot in

234
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:31.399
the trees and that was it. My girlfriend swears up

235
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.480
and down that they were aliens. That's what she thought

236
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.279
at first, just because it's like the way they were

237
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.080
moving is so weird, and you know, why the heck

238
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.240
are they even out like so on this side of

239
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:42.799
the lake for them to get out, and they walked

240
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.000
into the woods. That other side of the woods is

241
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.919
nothing but woods for miles and a highway. There's no

242
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.200
way for anybody to get over there, and there's nowhere

243
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:50.720
for them to go.

244
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:57.759
That is extremely interesting. So I want to make sure

245
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.000
I heard what you said right, because it is really

246
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.720
really interesting. So you're saying they were coming out of

247
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:08.279
the water, and as they were, you started to be

248
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:12.120
able to see almost through them, like whatever was in

249
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:16.440
the background behind them.

250
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:19.440
I guess that's one way to put it. I feel

251
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.440
like it was more like they were just so well

252
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:25.360
camouflaged that no matter which way, which direction they turned,

253
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:29.240
like they just blended right in. And that was the

254
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:30.799
first thing that clued me into the fact that they

255
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:31.720
probably weren't people.

256
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:37.480
Absolutely. Have you have you ever seen the movie Predator?

257
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.159
I have, Okay, so you know, like the how it's

258
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.480
kind of like shimmery and when.

259
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.720
It's yeah, it didn't seem like it didn't really seem

260
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:51.240
like that though, like, see, so I've been thinking about

261
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:53.639
this for a while since has happened, and the only

262
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:55.720
like logical thing that I'd come up with, and at

263
00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:58.759
least close to logical, is I wonder if perhaps, like

264
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.120
maybe there's something with their fur that has like a

265
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:04.519
certain type of gene to it where like, uh, you know,

266
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.679
maybe light spectrums hit it a certain way and it

267
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:08.519
kind of like in a way acts like a mirror

268
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:12.200
or reflects the color qualities and whatever they're around, perhaps

269
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.440
or something. I mean, that's the closest thing I can

270
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:19.039
come up with for a logical explanation. Yeah, other than

271
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:20.600
the fact that they can just disappear.

272
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:26.000
It's it's it's very strange. It almost sounds like when

273
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.120
you hear people talking about, you know, potential cloaking or

274
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:34.519
things like that. It's just wow. It's probably the coolest

275
00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:37.639
example of it that I've had come up on the show.

276
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:40.960
To be honest, and you said, this just happened. This

277
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:50.200
is a few holy mackerel, oh Man dudecent.

278
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:50.159
And for any of the listeners that want to know

279
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:53.320
where this is. So, if you go to Fellow's Lake,

280
00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:55.279
when you pull up on it, you can either turn

281
00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:58.399
right and go there's like a road there, or you

282
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.039
could make an immediate left and there's a dirt parking lot. Well,

283
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.159
if you turn right, there's like three spots where you

284
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:06.279
can pull off in the car and look at the lake.

285
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.399
It's the spot farthest from the corner. The third spot

286
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.720
is where we were sitting in directly across from there.

287
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:13.960
That's where we're selling.

288
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:20.919
And so the area they came out of the lake

289
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:22.720
and then walked towards the woods, it wouldn't have been

290
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:24.159
easy for you to get over there.

291
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:29.000
Now, we drove around and realized there's there's literally no

292
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:30.639
way for us to get over there unless we were

293
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:32.679
to get in a boat across the lake right there

294
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:34.840
and then walk up through where they walked up into.

295
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:38.039
Oh okay, otherwise we'd be trekking through the woods for

296
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.240
you know, hours and hours and hours.

297
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:45.360
Absolutely. I mean the first thing I'm thinking is like, Wow,

298
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.639
what if you go over there, are you're going to

299
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.320
find tracks? So you're going to find i mean, who

300
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:53.679
knows what you're going to find in the woods with

301
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:57.080
with a sighting like that, that is so so very interesting.

302
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:00.840
Yeah, And that's the thing, Like I had a boat,

303
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:02.360
but the thing is is. I'm not sure that you're

304
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:05.840
allowed to even have a boat on that leake. But

305
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:08.039
most of the I've only seen people fishing from like

306
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.320
the bridge and fishing from the shore, and I've never

307
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:11.720
ever seen anybody in the water.

308
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.279
Oh and another point would be, we don't even know

309
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:17.840
if you're allowed to go over where they were, So

310
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:22.279
I mean, if anyone's going to try to be Indiana Jones,

311
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:25.320
probably do your own due diligence so you don't get

312
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:29.480
in trouble. But which means research it, guys.

313
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.200
Yeah, definitely. I'm not trying to condone anybody breaking the

314
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:35.559
law or doing it. I don't see how you would

315
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:38.159
even get over there without a boat. And these two

316
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:41.879
dudes or whatever, they did not have a boat. Neither

317
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:45.360
one of them were you know, like large by any standards.

318
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:47.480
I mean, you know, I was half a football field

319
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.039
of way, so it was hard for me to gauge

320
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:51.200
their exact size, but if I had to guess, I

321
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:54.360
would say they weren't much taller than myself, and I'm

322
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:55.039
five to eleven.

323
00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:01.679
Okay, So when you you saw them come out of

324
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:04.079
the water, but you couldn't see them the entire time.

325
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:07.200
My question was going to be if they were coming

326
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:09.200
out of the water. Were you able to see like

327
00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:13.200
anything like any water coming off the hair? Maybe it

328
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:16.400
would have been too far away anyways to see that.

329
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:18.720
Yeah, it was. It was definitely way too far. I

330
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:21.440
couldn't even see any details like facial features or anything

331
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:25.200
like that. All I saw was that they were both

332
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:29.000
uniformly brown, except for this like light colored spot, which

333
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:31.240
I don't know where that would have been, because there

334
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:34.960
was like at least another foot of body above the

335
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:37.200
top of where this light spot was, which was we

336
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:38.480
thought were bald heads at first.

337
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:43.599
Are there any military installations around there?

338
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:50.079
I couldn't say for sure. Okay, nothing I'm aware of though.

339
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:58.359
Did they seem to be interacting with each other at

340
00:17:58.359 --> 00:17:59.200
any point.

341
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:05.200
Well maybe when the when they were getting out, because

342
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:08.680
the one had gotten out it was facing towards us,

343
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:11.440
which was the opposite bank, while the other one stood

344
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:16.519
facing it is still in the water for a minute, well,

345
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:18.799
probably about thirty seconds.

346
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:26.119
It sounded like you've you've alluded to that they they're

347
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.680
moving very weird and it's hard to describe correct.

348
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:34.759
Yeah, kind of like an effortless fluid, Like I've heard

349
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:36.920
people say that about like the way they walk on land,

350
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:39.400
and I've seen videos and stuff that I haven't really

351
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:41.680
seen any evidence of that, to be honest, you know

352
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:43.839
in people's videos and stuff. But the way that they

353
00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:45.960
were moving through this water, it was like they weren't

354
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.119
even like you know, with people they got to you

355
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:50.839
gotta walk. You can see them pushing their momentum, you know,

356
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:53.240
with their legs and stuff like that, whereas it looked

357
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:56.519
like these things were just on a conveyor belt or

358
00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:58.759
something just easily just kind of glide and through the water.

359
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:01.240
And I know that water was it was deep and

360
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:04.359
you know, like not easy to walk through. It had

361
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:07.440
to be muddy from all storms. It just didn't really

362
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:08.359
make a whole lot of sense.

363
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:13.279
Absolutely, I mean. And so this this interview is really

364
00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:15.960
unique for this show. At least it's the first time

365
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.519
I've ever talked to someone who has described that while

366
00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:22.880
they're in the water, because you know, people will describe

367
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:25.400
that on land, as you said, but they'll they'll even

368
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:29.359
I've heard people say where it's like it it looked

369
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:32.400
like they were almost like cross country skiing. It was

370
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:36.200
still so smooth, But you're saying that smoothness was also

371
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:37.880
when they were in the water as well.

372
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:41.319
Yeah, I mean I couldn't see what their legs were doing, obviously,

373
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:43.279
but it was like it was like somebody had a

374
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:45.160
toy and which just kind of moving like a shark

375
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.640
fan under the waters, moving it along. But they were

376
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:50.400
looking down as if they were looking for something, like

377
00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:51.799
looking straight down into the water.

378
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:57.279
Gotcha. Were they doing anything with their arms at the

379
00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:58.119
same time.

380
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:05.240
Man, I can't say that I remember for sure. I mean,

381
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:08.759
there's nothing, nothing like significant or anything, just you know,

382
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:12.519
moving along. I guess, I guess I kind of feel

383
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:14.519
like maybe there all arms that were even just kind

384
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:16.960
of straight down, like not even up out of the water,

385
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:19.079
because I don't remember seeing like hands or I don't know.

386
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:20.720
It was it was such a strange thing, and like

387
00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:22.559
we didn't even think to pull our phones out until

388
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:24.680
they had already like stepped into the woods. It was

389
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:27.079
just so shocking and weird, and the whole time we're

390
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:29.200
just staring real hard trying to figure out what going on.

391
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:31.319
And it was real strange.

392
00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:34.920
Absolutely, I was going to ask you, you know, so

393
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:39.680
it sounds like there's no recorded, nothing recorded from the

394
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:40.359
event at all.

395
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.160
Now. The only thing that happened was like afterwards, Chrissy

396
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.319
thought she saw saw one peering out from the bushes

397
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:51.319
from across the bank, so she pulled her phone out

398
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:53.319
and tried to sum in. But we both have one

399
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:56.240
of those new razor phones and the camera's really not

400
00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:57.960
that great, Like she killed me the picture, and I

401
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:00.480
couldn't see anything that was significant, Like I could see

402
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:02.680
where what she meant when she was pointing to it,

403
00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:05.240
like it looked out of place. But for anybody else

404
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:07.960
to look at the picture and not be staring right

405
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.960
there at the spot, there's there's really no reference point.

406
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:15.079
It would just be a brown blog, So there's kind

407
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:18.680
of there was no point in referring to it.

408
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:23.400
I guess, gotcha. Did it seem like there may have

409
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:26.039
been other people that saw the same event, Like you

410
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:28.759
look over you see people on a boat there pointing

411
00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:30.119
at something anything like that.

412
00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:34.640
No, there's no boats on the water. A few football

413
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:36.720
fields to the right, there was people fishing on the bank.

414
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:38.920
But I didn't even like, I didn't even think to

415
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:41.039
look over there to see what anybody else was doing.

416
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:43.599
We were just like glued to this thing, and it like,

417
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:45.839
you know, the way I describe it, it seems like

418
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:48.519
it lasted probably longer than it did, but I mean

419
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:50.279
the whole thing was maybe like a minute and a

420
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:51.200
half two minutes long.

421
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:57.960
Well, is this is this area known for bigfoot sightings

422
00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:59.279
or interactions at all?

423
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:04.119
I don't know, I mean not that I'm aware of. Well,

424
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:06.720
we weren't. We weren't there like for any other purpose

425
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:08.880
other than we were just there reminiscent because that's where

426
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:10.279
we had our first date years ago.

427
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:12.759
Absolutely, absolutely.

428
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:15.920
Well. The funny thing is is, though you know, my girlfriend,

429
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:18.599
you know, I've been talking about sasquatch for probably three

430
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:22.079
years now, okay, and she's been laughing about it, you know,

431
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:24.039
the full time until we went camping last year. And

432
00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:26.279
now she's like one hundred percent believer. And she even

433
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:28.599
refers to me as like a sasquatch magnet because it

434
00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:31.720
seems like every time we go out there's like something happening. Now.

435
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:37.240
I definitely get that, have you. So when you say

436
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:41.559
you've been into the subject for three years, like like

437
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.480
you're listening to things or how far into the subject

438
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:46.640
have you gotten?

439
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:49.960
Yeah, just like just like listening to the podcast and

440
00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:52.319
watching videos and stuff like that. Like I'm not like

441
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:57.599
a you know, investigator, or anything like that, although I'm

442
00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:01.359
definitely much more interested now. Is that the whole thing

443
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:03.079
with the camping and the owls and all that, Like,

444
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:05.880
I feel like that was pretty significant, especially if someone

445
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:09.039
were to be there and hear how loud these owls were.

446
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:11.200
There's no way there were owls. Not to mention, I've

447
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:15.000
never heard of owls like traveling in groups and surrounding camps.

448
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:20.839
I have had. I've had that same thing happen where

449
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.519
you have the owls around your camp and it sounds

450
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:28.720
like they're huge, and it is. Absolutely it can get

451
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:31.480
pretty scary. I mean that happened up in Iowa. Same

452
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:35.039
night I had someone walking or something walking around my tent.

453
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:38.519
It was like two or three in the morning, very

454
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:44.480
very very weird stuff. Is anything else the ordinary happening

455
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:49.799
any other strange things besides things that are Bigfoot related

456
00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:53.960
happening to you?

457
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:56.079
No? Not really. I mean, I guess I could mention

458
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.640
that my kid and my girlfriend have been saying that

459
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:02.880
there's weird things happening at the house, but I mean

460
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:06.599
they've been saying that for months now, and it's I

461
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:09.920
don't know. I as far as the paranormal type stuff goes,

462
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:11.880
I try to just ignore it because I feel like

463
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:15.039
if you if you give it too much thought and energy,

464
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:17.680
that if there's something that is happening, then you're just

465
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:19.440
all you're going to do is perpetuate it more.

466
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:24.160
Yeah, I get it. You're kind of already there though,

467
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:28.240
and not to not to freak you out, but it's

468
00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:33.880
like you're at the you're at the point where if

469
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:36.079
I hadn't known that, I would have said, stuff is

470
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:40.480
probably gonna start happen or potentially could start happening. But

471
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:45.559
so are these like orbs or or shadow things or.

472
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:49.799
No, they're basically that they're just hearing weird noises and

473
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:51.319
stuff and things moving around the house.

474
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:57.200
And it shouldn't be wow like goodness hm hmm.

475
00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:00.279
But you know, the world's a strange place lately. I mean,

476
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:02.960
we got this like of my girlfriend comes back all

477
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:06.079
the time where you know, you see still me, Oh

478
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:07.880
there's a light in the sky following me, and I

479
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:09.359
just kind of write him off, and then I hear

480
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.000
him telling his mom and he's so low, and I

481
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:14.000
just I don't know. I try to ignore that kind

482
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:16.880
of stuff because I don't want to perpetuate it. Like

483
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:19.880
I said, it's all my life. I've been this is

484
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:21.519
going to make me sound crazy to you. I've kind

485
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:23.160
of been sensitive to a lot of that stuff most

486
00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:25.200
of my life, and I've learned to just ignore it.

487
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:28.000
Because we ignore, it goes away.

488
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:35.680
I get it. I get that. I mean keep in

489
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:41.359
mind that if you are listening to Bigfoot, I think

490
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.880
maybe you could be ignoring certain parts of the phenomenon.

491
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:49.839
But on the other hand, you're definitely not ignoring whatever

492
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:51.359
is happening with the big foot side.

493
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:56.440
Yeah, I mean there was definitely so the funny thing

494
00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:00.119
Jeremiah is like, so when we went to the assumption Abby,

495
00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:02.720
I guess it was a little more than a few

496
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:04.519
weeks ago, a place where we had to smell, and

497
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:07.519
we both felt dizzy. On the way home, I looked

498
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:09.720
at I said, man, you know, things have been getting crazy.

499
00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:11.960
I wouldn't be surprised if our next incident is an

500
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:12.759
actual sighting.

501
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:13.880
Oh wow.

502
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:16.559
And I said that kind of kind of jokingly or whatever.

503
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:20.240
And uh, man, you know, a couple of days later,

504
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:23.359
I can believe it.

505
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:31.079
That is that's wild. Oh so this Fellow's Lake area,

506
00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:37.599
do they have people that work there equivalent of rangers

507
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:39.640
down in Missouri or anything like that.

508
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:44.759
I've never seen like ranger type people. It's more like

509
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:47.240
a it's a it's a well used like they have

510
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.000
a like a public area, like a couple of different

511
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:50.640
parking lots you can park in, and then if you

512
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:53.359
go like the opposite direction that we went, there's an

513
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:55.279
actual like park area where you can pull in and

514
00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:57.640
there's like picnic tables and it's a pretty large area,

515
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:00.400
but it's on the kind of another portion of the lake. Okay,

516
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:02.839
the place that we were at, it is, it's pretty

517
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:04.880
generally populated, but I just don't never see any like

518
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.200
official type people over there, gotcha.

519
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:10.920
So not a thing where after that happened, you'd be like, oh,

520
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:13.240
let's talk to the guy over there, see if other

521
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:16.680
people are having weird stuff like this happened as well.

522
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:22.200
Yeah, I mean honestly, for at least a few days

523
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:24.759
to a week. I don't know. This is going to

524
00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:27.359
sound weird too, but I somehow completely forgot about it

525
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:28.920
and then remind me of it, and then we both

526
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:31.319
kind of marveled at how did I just completely forget

527
00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:34.440
about this thing? You know?

528
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:38.599
That's that is a pattern that does you know come

529
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:44.759
up sometimes sometimes you'll forget certain things. Maybe it's like

530
00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:47.920
your brain wants you to forget it, and you know,

531
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.400
sometimes after something like this happens, you will people will

532
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:54.920
go to sleep really quick out of nowhere. It's just

533
00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:59.599
it's very, very strange how the human body and mind.

534
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:05.519
Reacts deals with stress and trauma absolutely well. The thing

535
00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:07.799
is is, I don't remember feeling like I mean, I

536
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:10.720
was amazed by the whole thing, but I wasn't like

537
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:14.400
I would put this one hundred percent shocked because you know,

538
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:16.839
like I said, I've had a couple other incidences before

539
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:18.839
and I kind of almost felt like, you know, it

540
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:25.079
was coming and especially but at the same you go ahead,

541
00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:26.640
I was just gonna say, But at the same time,

542
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.319
I wasn't really keen on like telling everybody, you know, I.

543
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:32.519
I one hundred percent get it. And that makes sense

544
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:36.920
what you said, especially if you're saying you're a sensitive individual,

545
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:39.359
even though you have been kind of pushing it to

546
00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:42.079
the side, it makes sense that you would get that

547
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:46.160
feeling that'd be like, Okay, something is coming, We're probably

548
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:50.400
going to have maybe even see something and boom it happens,

549
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:52.519
right totally not I.

550
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:54.920
Mean, what are the chances that I said those exact words,

551
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:56.559
and for that exact thing to happen. I mean, it

552
00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.359
just makes this all sound that much more like, you know,

553
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:05.519
fake or something. But I wouldn't say so, Centru.

554
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:09.680
I think it's it's a thing where to me it

555
00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:12.440
sounds like you're an individual that is just trying to

556
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:16.759
work through things, figure out what it is that's going on,

557
00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:20.920
and sometimes that can get really confusing, it can get

558
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:24.000
really weird, and you just need to make sure that

559
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:27.160
you're grounded to the right thing while you're working through that.

560
00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:30.920
Ye. Well, you know, Plus I've recently come to the

561
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:35.680
conclusion that like it's not going to do anybody any favors,

562
00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:38.079
like from you know, in every other aspect of my life,

563
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:41.240
I thrive on honesty and being a straightforward person, even

564
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:44.079
to the point of like sometimes it works against me.

565
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:48.759
So why why do I want to take this over

566
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:50.799
to you know, I think it would only help for

567
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:52.920
people to know. So I want people to know where

568
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:55.960
it happened, and I want people to know that it happened,

569
00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:59.160
and not because I want people everybody out there looking

570
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:02.400
for sasquatch thing. But the more people talk about it

571
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:04.319
and the more people realize that it's happening like right

572
00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:08.200
where they freaking live. Like, maybe people will start being

573
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:10.559
more open minded to it, and maybe as more people

574
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:13.000
are open minded to it, we'll start getting a little

575
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:15.640
closer to whatever the truth is in that situation, oh

576
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:16.559
one hundred percent.

577
00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:20.440
And maybe even someone will reach out and be like, hey,

578
00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:24.000
Fellow's Lake totally had a sighting there too, you know,

579
00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:27.039
and things like that. Even though it seems like a

580
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:29.640
small deal for that person to reach out, it can

581
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:32.880
be a huge deal because it can help, you know, James,

582
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:37.839
be like, Okay, what I saw was actually there and

583
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:39.559
I can deal with this, you know, And it kind

584
00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:41.799
of works both ways. So if people have had things

585
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:46.519
happen around that Fellow's Lake area of Missouri, you know,

586
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:48.680
please reach out to me. It's big for society at

587
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.680
gmail dot com and send me an email. But yeah, James,

588
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:55.720
this is uh, this is some pretty wild stuff, dude.

589
00:30:57.119 --> 00:30:59.000
Yeah. And also, if you don't mind, I did want

590
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:02.000
to take a second to say that, you know, anybody

591
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:05.839
that's listening, if you're from the area and you're curious,

592
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:08.759
or if you have if you want to share with

593
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:11.920
me as well something that happened out there, if you

594
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:15.200
know feel free to email me. I'll talk to anybody

595
00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:16.200
about this at this point.

596
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:21.079
Absolutely, is that a thing where you would want to

597
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:23.960
provide that email address. It does get a little bit

598
00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:27.119
daunting for me to try to pass on information all

599
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:27.640
the time.

600
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:31.559
That is, that's fine with me. If we want to

601
00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:33.200
just say it on the air right now or whatever,

602
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:36.759
that's that's cool with me. Sure, Okay, it's a eeschalon

603
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:40.759
symbiotics at gmail dot com. E C H E L

604
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:46.160
O N S M Y B I O P I

605
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:50.559
C S at gmail dot com. And no matter you know,

606
00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:52.720
how crazy it may seem, what you have to say

607
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:57.119
or whatever, you know, just feel comfortable reaching out to

608
00:31:57.160 --> 00:31:59.039
me if you if you feel you feel like doing so.

609
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:02.079
I'd love to from anybody that's that's sly any kind

610
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:03.200
of experience in that area.

611
00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:08.039
And that's the uh, the the Springfield, Missouri area, or

612
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:10.839
more specifically to that Lake area.

613
00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:14.839
Even just the southwest Missouri area because you know, we

614
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:16.880
go camping and stuff like Like I said that one

615
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:20.599
thing happened in Kissy Mills, which is down Mark Twain,

616
00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:23.119
which I believe was like southeast of US.

617
00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:28.480
Oh Man, James, I want to make sure that you

618
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:31.559
were able to share all the things that you came

619
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:33.599
on the show to share today.

620
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:38.279
Yeah, I think that's pretty much it.

621
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:44.000
Wow, Uh, this is I love ones like this because

622
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:48.160
it's just a few few weeks old. It'll be cool

623
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:50.160
to see if other things come out of this. But

624
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:54.240
you know, James, thank you for for being willing to

625

627
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:04.359
Man, Hey, no problem, and I appreciate you being here

628
00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:07.119
so that we can we can talk about these kind

629
00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:12.279
of things. Hey, Feather, how are you? Hey? Thanks for

630
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:14.640
coming up. Do you mind to fight? Yeah?

631
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:16.960
Yeah, Do you mind if I potentially use this audio

632
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:18.640
for my Bigfoot podcast? I have?

633
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:19.319
Oh?

634
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:21.359
Absolutely, thanks?

635
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:24.279
Yeah. What brings you up today? What would you have

636
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:24.759
to share?

637
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:30.240
So I moved to Florida and north central Florida. I

638
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:35.799
don't want to give away my exact location, but from

639
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.880
Texas a little over a year ago and.

640
00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:48.440
Were different And so I'm sitting out on my back patio.

641
00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:51.519
We have a screened in patio here in Florida because

642
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:55.880
of the exorbitant amount of insects.

643
00:33:57.400 --> 00:34:00.240
And my we have a privacy fence and there there's

644
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:05.880
this palm tree. This say palms, Paul smooth that I

645
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:07.680
forget it, this palm.

646
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:08.800
Tree on the other side of the fence.

647
00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:16.360
And it's happened two times, two different nights, like several

648
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:21.639
nights apart. And you know that sounded that alien makes

649
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:25.880
on that Predator movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yes, ma'am, ye,

650
00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:29.480
I heard it.

651
00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:33.280
I heard it twice. I don't know what it was,

652
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:35.000
but that's what I wanted to share.

653
00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:44.880
Oh my goodness, have you nothing no like wavy mirage

654
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:46.280
moving around? Right?

655
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:50.519
It's dark, It's it's black.

656
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:53.719
I have little lights on here, you know, but we

657
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:57.480
don't have floodlights yet. I know we have a lot

658
00:34:57.480 --> 00:35:02.199
of marsupials and and rode in and raccoons and things

659
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:04.840
like that that'll come around the fence and in the yard.

660
00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:11.920
And I've heard critters lose their lives and then being

661
00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:13.480
carried off through the woods.

662
00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:19.679
I mean, the jungle have been a jungle, so it's

663
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:23.320
a freaking jungle. I love it. And I've heard I've

664
00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:26.199
heard a lot of strange things out here. I mean,

665
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:31.920
I can go conspiracy on you. If you stay up late.

666
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:34.280
At night, you can hear some things. But I heard

667
00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:39.840
that particular sound twice. And also here's another creepy thing.

668
00:35:41.719 --> 00:35:45.559
So with these lights on the back porrich, they're like

669
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:49.119
Christmas lights, so they're darkly colored when they're lit up,

670
00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:52.800
so you can't really see outside. But there have been

671
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:57.599
whatever animals coming up in the yard up to the screen.

672
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:01.800
And they're not raccoons because I can shine a flash

673
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:05.960
fight out there and they're larger and I.

674
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:08.960
Don't know what they are. It's it's weird. It's very

675
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:11.760
strange out here. Just come alive from Florida.

676
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:15.400
I absolutely do you have any you know a good

677
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:18.679
way to get stuff not to mess with your place

678
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:22.119
is to put up game cameras. I don't know if

679
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:23.280
you were able to do that.

680
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:26.039
Financially.

681
00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:29.119
I have to look into it, but I.

682
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:32.119
I would love some.

683
00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:40.920
Those, not not those monoculars, the night vision ones. Oh sure, yeah,

684
00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:43.199
oh my gosh, yeah, definitely want some.

685
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:47.000
I say game cameras because the I r on them

686
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:50.880
will will scare some stuff off, you know sometimes, so.

687
00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:54.599
I want to see what the heck they are?

688
00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:56.800
You want to see, Okay, so you want them to

689
00:36:56.920 --> 00:36:58.800
look on them there? All right?

690
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:03.079
Yeah, I'm from Texas.

691
00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:07.920
This is cool. Bring it on. Well that's we hate.

692
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:13.159
Let me know if you.

693
00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:19.519
I'm used to coyotes, you know, and in small deer, bobcats, copperheads,

694
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:25.719
things like that, an occasional jaguarundi. But out here, I'm

695
00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:33.039
telling you these things will eat you. Oh my goodness, Louisianians.

696
00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:41.199
I mean, we got gators, crocodiles. I've seen tree people,

697
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:45.320
you know, shadows in the trees and stuff. I can

698
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:47.320
see those out here people.

699
00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:49.320
I've never heard of that before.

700
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:56.840
Yeah, the spiritual spiritual creatures there there, you.

701
00:37:56.920 --> 00:37:57.679
Want to look it up.

702
00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:05.599
It's it's under folk laura and legends and stuff. So yeah,

703
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:09.320
this up in Georgia, there's some strange stuff going on.

704
00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:13.159
A lot of conspiracy.

705
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:17.760
About this stuff, just like Bigfoot, and I've looked at

706
00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:22.159
photos of Bigfoot, and.

707
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:29.000
I've seen footage of people showing some movement in the

708
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:32.159
trees and stuff like that. Very realistic because I can

709
00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:37.800
tell the difference between anything touched up being an artist.

710
00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:43.239
But anyway, I've seen a lot of things that I

711
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:44.000
know it's real.

712
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:51.840
So you've got some some interesting stuff going on there.

713
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:54.639
I mean, keep me in mind. If stuff continues to happen,

714
00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:59.199
you can always reach out through. Uh yeah, you got

715
00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:01.320

716
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:04.559

I'll send it to you.

721
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:16.960
And I need some writers.

722
00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:21.519
Sure, absolutely, pleasu you're talking to.

723
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:24.800
You, we need to know, all right, absolutely?

724
00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:26.079
Yeah, be in touch.

725
00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:31.599
Have a good one too. It's stuff, I mean, some

726
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:35.760
wild stuff going on down Florida. It sounds like maybe

727
00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:39.840
be careful if you're going down there as we are

728
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:45.199
talking to people all over the US right now, from coast,

729
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:48.840
literally coast to coast real quick. This is Jeremiah editing

730
00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:54.880
the episode that last Small Florida interview. I put that

731
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:59.079
audio clip in there not knowing what it was from

732
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:06.440
the latest TikTok Live and weirdly enough, both of them

733
00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:08.960
kind of have to do with the Predator movie. So

734
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:12.719
it's kind of a weird synchronicity there. But just want

735
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:14.760
to point that out. Just wanted to take a minute

736
00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:16.679
to say thank you for listening to this episode of

737
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:21.159
the Bigfoot Society podcast. James story is one that grabs you,

738
00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:23.199
not just because of the water, the whoops or the

739
00:40:23.320 --> 00:40:26.880
vanishing figures, but because of how raw and recent it

740
00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:29.159
is and how close it happened to home for him,

741
00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:31.840
so huge thanks to James for sharing what happened near

742
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:34.639
Fellows Lake, for being honest about how hard it is

743
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:38.280
to explain something so strange when it happens to you.
