The River People: What We Saw Near Fellows Lake | Missouri

0:00 You're listening to Big for Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. Tonight's account comes from James, a regular guy from Missouri with thought Bigfoot was just an internet mystery until the Woods started watching him back. I'm not going to really say what happens in this one, but I'm going to say it's an important interview for a few reasons that you'll find out later on. Things are talked about that I think are going to really affect how people view Bigfoot after this interview. So this is the story of what James saw in the ozarks of Missouri and why he'll never look at the Woods the same way again. So stay with us, all right, Big for Society. You've got the privilege of talking to James today. James is an individual that is a listener to the show over on YouTube, and we got connected about some things that have happened to him in the state of Missouri. So thank you so much for coming on the show. James.

0:55 How's it going. Today, I'm doing it well. How are you doing great? It's a great day. Able to talk to people about their encounters. Can't beat that. So, you know, James, I want to make sure you have the time to share things that have happened to you over the last few years. So I'm going to go ahead and pass the mic over to you so you can take us back as far back as we need to go. Man, that sounds good. I appreciate that. Well, my story is I've got three, i think four episodes that I can share. None of them are particularly you know, shocking or anything, but they are absolutely true and I would like to share them. So the first one happened about three summers ago. I was painting a house. Well, me and a couple of guys were painting a house out on Highway right outside of Springfield, Missouri, and it's a big house that's on one side. On the back side of the house is a sheer bluff like a cliff that goes down to a river. At the front side of the house, he's got this big pond that him and his wife had stocked full of and it's so full that literally when you look down in there, you see so many small bass you wonder, like, how are these things not cannibalizing each other, like they're gonna have no problem survive and if they need to survive off this pond. So this particular day, we'd finished for the day and everybody had left except for me and my buddy Cliff, who was working with us, and we were down at the pond and it had just started raining, this drizzling, no nothing heavy, And as soon as the

2:28 drizzle started from across the pond, we heard an owl. I thought, oh cool, and now it's kind of strange for it to be out during the day. But you know, I'm I'm not a wildlife expert. So I hooted back, and then it hooted back at me again, and so I did the exchange one more time, and then it exchanged one more time, except this third time it went like this frustrated sounding like growl thing, like almost as if like it just realized that I was a person. And the guy with me, Cliff, he says, WHOA, that's not an owl. And I looked at him and said, yeah, I know, I think it's a sasquatch, and he just kind of laughed at me and he said something like, oh, you know, whatever, there's no sasquatch. So that that was literally it for that for that episode. That in itself is not too significant, but the following summer, my girlfriend and I and our son went camping at a place in called Koi Bald. It's in Kissy Mills, Missouri. And by this time, you know, I've already been watching some shows and stuff, and I know a little bit about Sasquatch, you're you know, a little bit that I've learned from other people. And so as soon as we pull up there, I notice, we get out, we start sending up the tents and this is like it's it's in the Mark Twain National Forest, and it's pretty secluded. There's nobody else out there. It's a wide, a very wide but slow moving river, but it's like, you know, knee deep in someplace,

4:00 is way deeep in others. Well, any ways, we get out there and we're setting up and I hear bang, bang, bang coming from the other side of the river. I think to myself, Oh, that's somebody out there shooting a shotgun. But it sounded kind of weird. It had like almost like a muffled quality to it, so it sounded somewhat like a shotgun bit different, And we heard it a couple more times as we were setting up, bang bang bang in threes. I didn't really think too much of it. Later that evening, it was, you know, it had already the sun had already gone down, and we were sitting by the fire and I heard it a couple more times from across the river, and I thought, well, that's strange because there's nobody out here, it's dark, and who the heck is out there shooting a shotgun. And then we got to talking about it, and I realized, well, you can't really shoot a shotgun and that click of a succession you have to pump the you know, you have to pump the chamber or whatever, pump the rounds, and so it'd be more like bang bang bang, whereas these were bang bang bang. It's okay, you know, we talked about that thought it was a little weird. Left it off about two o'clock in the morning, and I only know it was about two o'clock because my girlfriend told me afterwards. But and there's the middle of the night we wake up to whodowls. But the weird thing about it is there's like a five of them and they're surrounding our camp. And these things sound like they're like they got to be like fifty pounds to be

5:31 this loud. I mean, it's just ridiculous loud, scared the crap out of us. So I get up out of ten. I'm walking around with my hatchet in my hand. It quit as soon as I went outside, of course, and that was pretty much the end of that one, with the exception of the following day, we hiked to upstream a little ways and we came across this muddy spot in the river bank and we noticed that there was like a bunch of deer hoof prints and a bunch of like slide marks, like there had been some kind of scuffle there. But the strange thing about it is we did notice also that there was a bare footprint and the mud amongst those deer prints, And like I said, there was nobody else out there but us. But the thing about this bare footprint, it wasn't super large. I mean, if anything, it was maybe just a couple of inches larger than my foot and I wear a size ten ten and a half sometimes. But just that alone, and just you know, with it coupled with the other things that happened, it just seemed, you know, really it really stuck with us, you know. Yeah, So we just kind of chopped that up to the sasquatch especially the thing with the hood owls. And then another experience, which was a few weeks ago, my girlfriend and I went out to a place in avam Is there called Assumption Abbey.

7:05 We found it on a campsite website and we went out there just to poke around and look for rocks and see if there's a good place to camp. Well, apparently there's a monastery out there I didn't know about. And we found a road where it says road closed, but we drove down it anyways, waded up at the river. And this particular incident wasn't what I would call like significant, and there's a lot of open ended stuff about it. But anyways, my girlfriend and I we were by the river bank looking at rocks, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, it smelled like somebody just took a big dump right there in between the two of us, Like it came out of nowhere. We were stationary, we were not walking, and I didn't really think too much of it. We were just like, show man, what's up with that? And then immediately like I felt dizzy, like I almost passed out literally, and my girlfriend had the same experience at the same time. I didn't realize that was going on with her, because she immediately just walked over to the jeep and sat down. And I'd stayed on the bank and continued to look at rocks. But then, you know, like two to three minutes later, I walked back up the jeep. I was like, man, that's so weird.

8:14 You know. I told her what happened. She said, yeah, that's why I came and sat down in here. Said I felt like I was about to pass out too, so we got out of there. That was the entirety of that story. Now the final one, it was a little bit more significant. I would say. It was on July fourteenth. The sun was just getting ready to start going down. It was still, you know, light out, and we were at Fellows Lake in Springfield, Missouri, which I don't know if you're familiar with that place, but it's really not that far outside of town. I mean, there's houses within driving distance for sure. So we were sitting in the jeep at the spot that we had a first date, just kind of reminiscing, and where we were parked at is kind of like a little channel in the lake and the bank basically is about half a football field distance from where we were sitting. And the crazy thing about this is, you know, only several football fields distance to the right were people fishing. So we're sitting there and we're looking across the water and my girl, my girlfriend, says, hey, what are they doing? And I look over and I see these two people waiting in the water on the other side of the lake. We just had a bunch of storms, so the water was really high. Everything was trashed down here or it was

9:45 you know, at the time, trees and when it was just a mess. But these two people were waiting around on the other side of the lake and waist deep in the water. And the thing about it is, you're you know, first of all, you're not supposed to be in the water at this lake. Secondly, like it was just it was gross because of all the storms and stuff. And we noticed that well, both of these people seemed to be dressed exactly the same. They're both wearing like this brown garb, and they both had At first it looked like they had bald heads, because they had like this lighter colored patch up towards where I was seeing the head the bead. But the more I looked at it, I realized that there was more to them above that light colored patch. When my girlfriend first thought saw it, she was like, what the heck. You know, we stared at him for a minute and they were just kind of walking around, looking straight down into the water like they had lost something or perhaps we're looking for something.

10:41 Their movements through the water were a little We're a little weird too. The way that they walked it was like, I just I don't know how to explain it properly, but it looked different than a person wading through the water. It's just that there's so much ease to it. It was weird. It's hard to describe or anything about it is. You know, We're still staring at them, and they walk to the shore and one of them is he stays in the water and he's facing towards the shore, and the other one gets up. The other person or whatever gets up out of the water. So this part's going to make me sound crazy, but I don't know how else i'll say it. As we're looking at them and he's standing up out of the water. As he's coming up out of the water, he seems to be disappearing.

11:27 My girlfriend like, I don't see him anymore. I said, no, he's there. I can see him standing there because every once in a while I see a little bit of movement, so I can see that he's there. And then the other one person whatever gets up out of the water. It's the same thing. They're both there. I can barely see that they're there, but at the same time, they don't look like they're there. And what I mean by that is, no matter which way they turned or we're standing, it seemed like they were the exact same color as the background. And it's like, and it's not like the background was just all one color. Like I was looking at just the bank and trees, but there was like fallen logs and all kinds of other stuff that were like, you know, different textures and colors and stuff. It just didn't make sense to me, but that's exactly what happened.

12:14 And they both stood there on the bank for a little while, and I mean, you know, I can't say for sure, but I just had the sense like we were just staring at each other, and then they both just kind of walked backwards into this black spot in the trees and that was it. My girlfriend swears up and down that they were aliens. That's what she thought at first, just because it's like the way they were moving is so weird, and you know, why the heck are they even out like so on this side of the lake for them to get out, and they walked into the woods. That other side of the woods is nothing but woods for miles and a highway. There's no way for anybody to get over there, and there's nowhere for them to go.

12:54 That is extremely interesting. So I want to make sure I heard what you said right, because it is really really interesting. So you're saying they were coming out of the water, and as they were, you started to be able to see almost through them, like whatever was in the background behind them. I guess that's one way to put it. I feel like it was more like they were just so well camouflaged that no matter which way, which direction they turned, like they just blended right in. And that was the first thing that clued me into the fact that they probably weren't people. Absolutely. Have you have you ever seen the movie Predator?

13:39 I have, Okay, so you know, like the how it's kind of like shimmery and when. It's yeah, it didn't seem like it didn't really seem like that though, like, see, so I've been thinking about this for a while since has happened, and the only like logical thing that I'd come up with, and at least close to logical, is I wonder if perhaps, like maybe there's something with their fur that has like a certain type of gene to it where like, uh, you know, maybe light spectrums hit it a certain way and it kind of like in a way acts like a mirror or reflects the color qualities and whatever they're around, perhaps or something. I mean, that's the closest thing I can come up with for a logical explanation. Yeah, other than the fact that they can just disappear.

14:21 It's it's it's very strange. It almost sounds like when you hear people talking about, you know, potential cloaking or things like that. It's just wow. It's probably the coolest example of it that I've had come up on the show. To be honest, and you said, this just happened. This is a few holy mackerel, oh Man dudecent. And for any of the listeners that want to know where this is. So, if you go to Fellow's Lake, when you pull up on it, you can either turn right and go there's like a road there, or you could make an immediate left and there's a dirt parking lot. Well, if you turn right, there's like three spots where you can pull off in the car and look at the lake.

15:06 It's the spot farthest from the corner. The third spot is where we were sitting in directly across from there. That's where we're selling. And so the area they came out of the lake and then walked towards the woods, it wouldn't have been easy for you to get over there. Now, we drove around and realized there's there's literally no way for us to get over there unless we were to get in a boat across the lake right there and then walk up through where they walked up into. Oh okay, otherwise we'd be trekking through the woods for you know, hours and hours and hours. Absolutely. I mean the first thing I'm thinking is like, Wow, what if you go over there, are you're going to find tracks? So you're going to find i mean, who knows what you're going to find in the woods with with a sighting like that, that is so so very interesting.

15:59 Yeah, And that's the thing, Like I had a boat, but the thing is is. I'm not sure that you're allowed to even have a boat on that leake. But most of the I've only seen people fishing from like the bridge and fishing from the shore, and I've never ever seen anybody in the water. Oh and another point would be, we don't even know if you're allowed to go over where they were, So I mean, if anyone's going to try to be Indiana Jones, probably do your own due diligence so you don't get in trouble. But which means research it, guys. Yeah, definitely. I'm not trying to condone anybody breaking the law or doing it. I don't see how you would even get over there without a boat. And these two dudes or whatever, they did not have a boat. Neither one of them were you know, like large by any standards.

16:45 I mean, you know, I was half a football field of way, so it was hard for me to gauge their exact size, but if I had to guess, I would say they weren't much taller than myself, and I'm five to eleven. Okay, So when you you saw them come out of the water, but you couldn't see them the entire time. My question was going to be if they were coming out of the water. Were you able to see like anything like any water coming off the hair? Maybe it would have been too far away anyways to see that. Yeah, it was. It was definitely way too far. I couldn't even see any details like facial features or anything like that. All I saw was that they were both uniformly brown, except for this like light colored spot, which I don't know where that would have been, because there was like at least another foot of body above the top of where this light spot was, which was we thought were bald heads at first.

17:41 Are there any military installations around there? I couldn't say for sure. Okay, nothing I'm aware of though. Did they seem to be interacting with each other at any point. Well maybe when the when they were getting out, because the one had gotten out it was facing towards us, which was the opposite bank, while the other one stood facing it is still in the water for a minute, well, probably about thirty seconds. It sounded like you've you've alluded to that they they're moving very weird and it's hard to describe correct.

18:32 Yeah, kind of like an effortless fluid, Like I've heard people say that about like the way they walk on land, and I've seen videos and stuff that I haven't really seen any evidence of that, to be honest, you know in people's videos and stuff. But the way that they were moving through this water, it was like they weren't even like you know, with people they got to you gotta walk. You can see them pushing their momentum, you know, with their legs and stuff like that, whereas it looked like these things were just on a conveyor belt or something just easily just kind of glide and through the water. And I know that water was it was deep and you know, like not easy to walk through. It had to be muddy from all storms. It just didn't really make a whole lot of sense. Absolutely, I mean. And so this this interview is really unique for this show. At least it's the first time I've ever talked to someone who has described that while they're in the water, because you know, people will describe that on land, as you said, but they'll they'll even I've heard people say where it's like it it looked like they were almost like cross country skiing. It was still so smooth, But you're saying that smoothness was also when they were in the water as well.

19:39 Yeah, I mean I couldn't see what their legs were doing, obviously, but it was like it was like somebody had a toy and which just kind of moving like a shark fan under the waters, moving it along. But they were looking down as if they were looking for something, like looking straight down into the water. Gotcha. Were they doing anything with their arms at the same time. Man, I can't say that I remember for sure. I mean, there's nothing, nothing like significant or anything, just you know, moving along. I guess, I guess I kind of feel like maybe there all arms that were even just kind of straight down, like not even up out of the water, because I don't remember seeing like hands or I don't know. It was it was such a strange thing, and like we didn't even think to pull our phones out until they had already like stepped into the woods. It was just so shocking and weird, and the whole time we're just staring real hard trying to figure out what going on.

20:29 And it was real strange. Absolutely, I was going to ask you, you know, so it sounds like there's no recorded, nothing recorded from the event at all. Now. The only thing that happened was like afterwards, Chrissy thought she saw saw one peering out from the bushes from across the bank, so she pulled her phone out and tried to sum in. But we both have one of those new razor phones and the camera's really not that great, Like she killed me the picture, and I couldn't see anything that was significant, Like I could see where what she meant when she was pointing to it, like it looked out of place. But for anybody else to look at the picture and not be staring right there at the spot, there's there's really no reference point.

21:12 It would just be a brown blog, So there's kind of there was no point in referring to it. I guess, gotcha. Did it seem like there may have been other people that saw the same event, Like you look over you see people on a boat there pointing at something anything like that. No, there's no boats on the water. A few football fields to the right, there was people fishing on the bank. But I didn't even like, I didn't even think to look over there to see what anybody else was doing. We were just like glued to this thing, and it like, you know, the way I describe it, it seems like it lasted probably longer than it did, but I mean the whole thing was maybe like a minute and a half two minutes long. Well, is this is this area known for bigfoot sightings or interactions at all?

22:01 I don't know, I mean not that I'm aware of. Well, we weren't. We weren't there like for any other purpose other than we were just there reminiscent because that's where we had our first date years ago. Absolutely, absolutely. Well. The funny thing is is, though you know, my girlfriend, you know, I've been talking about sasquatch for probably three years now, okay, and she's been laughing about it, you know, the full time until we went camping last year. And now she's like one hundred percent believer. And she even refers to me as like a sasquatch magnet because it seems like every time we go out there's like something happening. Now. I definitely get that, have you. So when you say you've been into the subject for three years, like like you're listening to things or how far into the subject have you gotten?

22:47 Yeah, just like just like listening to the podcast and watching videos and stuff like that. Like I'm not like a you know, investigator, or anything like that, although I'm definitely much more interested now. Is that the whole thing with the camping and the owls and all that, Like, I feel like that was pretty significant, especially if someone were to be there and hear how loud these owls were. There's no way there were owls. Not to mention, I've never heard of owls like traveling in groups and surrounding camps. I have had. I've had that same thing happen where you have the owls around your camp and it sounds like they're huge, and it is. Absolutely it can get pretty scary. I mean that happened up in Iowa. Same night I had someone walking or something walking around my tent.

23:35 It was like two or three in the morning, very very very weird stuff. Is anything else the ordinary happening any other strange things besides things that are Bigfoot related happening to you? No? Not really. I mean, I guess I could mention that my kid and my girlfriend have been saying that there's weird things happening at the house, but I mean they've been saying that for months now, and it's I don't know. I as far as the paranormal type stuff goes, I try to just ignore it because I feel like if you if you give it too much thought and energy, that if there's something that is happening, then you're just all you're going to do is perpetuate it more.

24:20 Yeah, I get it. You're kind of already there though, and not to not to freak you out, but it's like you're at the you're at the point where if I hadn't known that, I would have said, stuff is probably gonna start happen or potentially could start happening. But so are these like orbs or or shadow things or. No, they're basically that they're just hearing weird noises and stuff and things moving around the house. And it shouldn't be wow like goodness hm hmm. But you know, the world's a strange place lately. I mean, we got this like of my girlfriend comes back all the time where you know, you see still me, Oh there's a light in the sky following me, and I just kind of write him off, and then I hear him telling his mom and he's so low, and I just I don't know. I try to ignore that kind of stuff because I don't want to perpetuate it. Like I said, it's all my life. I've been this is going to make me sound crazy to you. I've kind of been sensitive to a lot of that stuff most of my life, and I've learned to just ignore it.

25:26 Because we ignore, it goes away. I get it. I get that. I mean keep in mind that if you are listening to Bigfoot, I think maybe you could be ignoring certain parts of the phenomenon. But on the other hand, you're definitely not ignoring whatever is happening with the big foot side. Yeah, I mean there was definitely so the funny thing Jeremiah is like, so when we went to the assumption Abby, I guess it was a little more than a few weeks ago, a place where we had to smell, and we both felt dizzy. On the way home, I looked at I said, man, you know, things have been getting crazy.

26:09 I wouldn't be surprised if our next incident is an actual sighting. Oh wow. And I said that kind of kind of jokingly or whatever. And uh, man, you know, a couple of days later, I can believe it. That is that's wild. Oh so this Fellow's Lake area, do they have people that work there equivalent of rangers down in Missouri or anything like that. I've never seen like ranger type people. It's more like a it's a it's a well used like they have a like a public area, like a couple of different parking lots you can park in, and then if you go like the opposite direction that we went, there's an actual like park area where you can pull in and there's like picnic tables and it's a pretty large area, but it's on the kind of another portion of the lake. Okay, the place that we were at, it is, it's pretty generally populated, but I just don't never see any like official type people over there, gotcha.

27:07 So not a thing where after that happened, you'd be like, oh, let's talk to the guy over there, see if other people are having weird stuff like this happened as well. Yeah, I mean honestly, for at least a few days to a week. I don't know. This is going to sound weird too, but I somehow completely forgot about it and then remind me of it, and then we both kind of marveled at how did I just completely forget about this thing? You know? That's that is a pattern that does you know come up sometimes sometimes you'll forget certain things. Maybe it's like your brain wants you to forget it, and you know, sometimes after something like this happens, you will people will go to sleep really quick out of nowhere. It's just it's very, very strange how the human body and mind.

28:00 Reacts deals with stress and trauma absolutely well. The thing is is, I don't remember feeling like I mean, I was amazed by the whole thing, but I wasn't like I would put this one hundred percent shocked because you know, like I said, I've had a couple other incidences before and I kind of almost felt like, you know, it was coming and especially but at the same you go ahead, I was just gonna say, But at the same time, I wasn't really keen on like telling everybody, you know, I. I one hundred percent get it. And that makes sense what you said, especially if you're saying you're a sensitive individual, even though you have been kind of pushing it to the side, it makes sense that you would get that feeling that'd be like, Okay, something is coming, We're probably going to have maybe even see something and boom it happens, right totally not I.

28:52 Mean, what are the chances that I said those exact words, and for that exact thing to happen. I mean, it just makes this all sound that much more like, you know, fake or something. But I wouldn't say so, Centru. I think it's it's a thing where to me it sounds like you're an individual that is just trying to work through things, figure out what it is that's going on, and sometimes that can get really confusing, it can get really weird, and you just need to make sure that you're grounded to the right thing while you're working through that. Ye. Well, you know, Plus I've recently come to the conclusion that like it's not going to do anybody any favors, like from you know, in every other aspect of my life, I thrive on honesty and being a straightforward person, even to the point of like sometimes it works against me.

29:45 So why why do I want to take this over to you know, I think it would only help for people to know. So I want people to know where it happened, and I want people to know that it happened, and not because I want people everybody out there looking for sasquatch thing. But the more people talk about it and the more people realize that it's happening like right where they freaking live. Like, maybe people will start being more open minded to it, and maybe as more people are open minded to it, we'll start getting a little closer to whatever the truth is in that situation, oh one hundred percent. And maybe even someone will reach out and be like, hey, Fellow's Lake totally had a sighting there too, you know, and things like that. Even though it seems like a small deal for that person to reach out, it can be a huge deal because it can help, you know, James, be like, Okay, what I saw was actually there and I can deal with this, you know, And it kind of works both ways. So if people have had things happen around that Fellow's Lake area of Missouri, you know, please reach out to me. It's big for society at gmail dot com and send me an email. But yeah, James, this is uh, this is some pretty wild stuff, dude.

30:57 Yeah. And also, if you don't mind, I did want to take a second to say that, you know, anybody that's listening, if you're from the area and you're curious, or if you have if you want to share with me as well something that happened out there, if you know feel free to email me. I'll talk to anybody about this at this point. Absolutely, is that a thing where you would want to provide that email address. It does get a little bit daunting for me to try to pass on information all the time. That is, that's fine with me. If we want to just say it on the air right now or whatever, that's that's cool with me. Sure, Okay, it's a eeschalon symbiotics at gmail dot com. E C H E L O N S M Y B I O P I C S at gmail dot com. And no matter you know, how crazy it may seem, what you have to say or whatever, you know, just feel comfortable reaching out to me if you if you feel you feel like doing so.

31:59 I'd love to from anybody that's that's sly any kind of experience in that area. And that's the uh, the the Springfield, Missouri area, or more specifically to that Lake area. Even just the southwest Missouri area because you know, we go camping and stuff like Like I said that one thing happened in Kissy Mills, which is down Mark Twain, which I believe was like southeast of US. Oh Man, James, I want to make sure that you were able to share all the things that you came on the show to share today. Yeah, I think that's pretty much it.

32:39 Wow, Uh, this is I love ones like this because it's just a few few weeks old. It'll be cool to see if other things come out of this. But you know, James, thank you for for being willing to come on the show and share what you're going through, what you've experienced with your girlfriend shape the chat today. Man, Hey, no problem, and I appreciate you being here so that we can we can talk about these kind of things. Hey, Feather, how are you? Hey? Thanks for coming up. Do you mind to fight? Yeah? Yeah, Do you mind if I potentially use this audio for my Bigfoot podcast? I have? Oh? Absolutely, thanks?

33:21 Yeah. What brings you up today? What would you have to share? So I moved to Florida and north central Florida. I don't want to give away my exact location, but from Texas a little over a year ago and. Were different And so I'm sitting out on my back patio. We have a screened in patio here in Florida because of the exorbitant amount of insects. And my we have a privacy fence and there there's this palm tree. This say palms, Paul smooth that I forget it, this palm.

34:07 Tree on the other side of the fence. And it's happened two times, two different nights, like several nights apart. And you know that sounded that alien makes on that Predator movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yes, ma'am, ye, I heard it. I heard it twice. I don't know what it was, but that's what I wanted to share. Oh my goodness, have you nothing no like wavy mirage moving around? Right?

34:47 It's dark, It's it's black. I have little lights on here, you know, but we don't have floodlights yet. I know we have a lot of marsupials and and rode in and raccoons and things like that that'll come around the fence and in the yard. And I've heard critters lose their lives and then being carried off through the woods. I mean, the jungle have been a jungle, so it's a freaking jungle. I love it. And I've heard I've heard a lot of strange things out here. I mean, I can go conspiracy on you. If you stay up late.

35:31 At night, you can hear some things. But I heard that particular sound twice. And also here's another creepy thing. So with these lights on the back porrich, they're like Christmas lights, so they're darkly colored when they're lit up, so you can't really see outside. But there have been whatever animals coming up in the yard up to the screen. And they're not raccoons because I can shine a flash fight out there and they're larger and I. Don't know what they are. It's it's weird. It's very strange out here. Just come alive from Florida.

36:12 I absolutely do you have any you know a good way to get stuff not to mess with your place is to put up game cameras. I don't know if you were able to do that. Financially. I have to look into it, but I. I would love some. Those, not not those monoculars, the night vision ones. Oh sure, yeah, oh my gosh, yeah, definitely want some. I say game cameras because the I r on them will will scare some stuff off, you know sometimes, so.

36:53 I want to see what the heck they are? You want to see, Okay, so you want them to look on them there? All right? Yeah, I'm from Texas. This is cool. Bring it on. Well that's we hate. Let me know if you. I'm used to coyotes, you know, and in small deer, bobcats, copperheads, things like that, an occasional jaguarundi. But out here, I'm telling you these things will eat you. Oh my goodness, Louisianians.

37:33 I mean, we got gators, crocodiles. I've seen tree people, you know, shadows in the trees and stuff. I can see those out here people. I've never heard of that before. Yeah, the spiritual spiritual creatures there there, you. Want to look it up. It's it's under folk laura and legends and stuff. So yeah, this up in Georgia, there's some strange stuff going on. A lot of conspiracy. About this stuff, just like Bigfoot, and I've looked at photos of Bigfoot, and.

38:24 I've seen footage of people showing some movement in the trees and stuff like that. Very realistic because I can tell the difference between anything touched up being an artist. But anyway, I've seen a lot of things that I know it's real. So you've got some some interesting stuff going on there. I mean, keep me in mind. If stuff continues to happen, you can always reach out through. Uh yeah, you got you got me big Foot Society gmail dot com.

39:07 And if you want me. To send you crazy stuff that I need help looking into, I'll send it to you. And I need some writers. Sure, absolutely, pleasu you're talking to. You, we need to know, all right, absolutely? Yeah, be in touch. Have a good one too. It's stuff, I mean, some wild stuff going on down Florida. It sounds like maybe be careful if you're going down there as we are talking to people all over the US right now, from coast, literally coast to coast real quick. This is Jeremiah editing the episode that last Small Florida interview. I put that audio clip in there not knowing what it was from the latest TikTok Live and weirdly enough, both of them kind of have to do with the Predator movie. So it's kind of a weird synchronicity there. But just want to point that out. Just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for listening to this episode of the Bigfoot Society podcast. James story is one that grabs you, not just because of the water, the whoops or the vanishing figures, but because of how raw and recent it is and how close it happened to home for him, so huge thanks to James for sharing what happened near Fellows Lake, for being honest about how hard it is to explain something so strange when it happens to you.
