Transcript

FOR MEMBERS ONLY!!

A witness in Pennsylvania describes a creature standing taller than their car, staring directly through the windshield with glowing eyes that “looked into their soul.”

In Minnesota, fishermen hear a massive howl echo across the Red River before something heavy is thrown across the water toward them from the darkness.

A woman in coastal Oregon wakes to terrifying screams outside her home before finding her porch destroyed and seeing a huge gray-haired figure running away into the night.

Another witness recalls a childhood encounter during the drought summer of 1988 when a towering reddish-haired creature emerged from a gully near the Ohio border carrying a smell so foul it never left their memory.

These are firsthand eyewitness encounters shared directly with Bigfoot Society from Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Ohio borderlands, and Oregon.

7
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:20.760
Well, one of us got the rock onto the island

8
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.839
when something about the size of a bowling ball was

9
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:29.239
thrown from within that tree line or along that tree

10
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:34.520
line and landed on our side of the river and

11
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:38.679
hit the water. And we could only tell that it

12
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.000
was the size of a bowling ball because of the

13
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:46.759
size of the splash that we actually saw. And right

14
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.159
now I'm actually still kind of I'm actually shaking a

15
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:54.000
little bit talking about it, because we tried to put

16
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:57.159
two and two together and there's nothing that I know

17
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:01.719
that or any person that I know that would be

18
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:06.319
able to throw something of such large mass over eighty

19
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:10.000
feet and have land on our side of a river.

20
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:15.840
I guess that is wild.

21
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:22.319
Isn't intense when you experience something like that, and it's

22
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:26.239
just the realization of what it would take for something

23
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.079
to do something like that is life changing.

24
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:37.840
You know, we kind of were like because being that

25
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.319
we're paranormal investigators, we tried to debunk it and everything.

26
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.359
So we're sitting there with flashlights and we're shining the

27
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:46.519
waters and stuff to see if maybe there was like

28
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:51.760
a beaver that could slap this tail near us. And

29
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.799
we sat there for a good twenty twenty five minutes

30
00:01:54.920 --> 00:02:00.680
shining the surface of the water, and we didn't see

31
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.920
no glowing eyes or many beavers or anything like that.

32
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:07.200
We're looking at the shore or the banks of the

33
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:14.520
river and there was definitely nothing there. And I told

34
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.599
my buddy, I'm like, wait a second, if that would

35
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:18.560
have been a beaver, you would have heard the initial

36
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:23.159
slap and then the puffunk, but there was nothing of

37
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.319
that sound. It was just a straight kuffunk. And then

38
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:30.759
the splash that came out was in a perfect circle,

39
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.840
which means that it was lunched up in the air

40
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:39.800
and came down almost straight down to cause like a

41
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:41.159
perfect ring in the water.

42
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:47.639
Sure have you been back to that area since then?

43
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:54.360
I have, And I've even did like Google Earth and

44
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.800
looking at the island and stuff like that. And there

45
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:03.719
is an area of the woods that has no trees

46
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:10.280
that grow and it's like a perfectly round circle that

47
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.039
has no vegetation or trees that are growing on that island.

48
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.199
Really yeah, Oh that's weird. Is are other things.

49
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:26.240
Reported from that area, like people experiencing things?

50
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:33.400
Well, just I think it's like maybe two years ago

51
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.080
kind of down in the park right right by where

52
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.919
I'm at. There's a person that posted on Figo's book

53
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:48.000
and a group that they're down there at just just

54
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:52.960
after the sun went down, and they saw what looked

55
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:58.319
like the image that you got on your background picture there, okay,

56
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:04.759
and they they freaked out and they ran away from

57
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:09.039
the area and then went on Facebook and posted about

58
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.919
their encounter with some type of large, hairy creature that

59
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.879
they saw that it was crouched down behind a large

60
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:22.600
stump and a fallen down tree.

61
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.439
That's wild, wild stuff, And that is it looks like

62
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:32.160
that area or that river is on the border, right.

63
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:37.879
Yep, it's right on the border. And if you're looking

64
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:43.120
at a computer stuff like that, you could probably google Earth.

65
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:44.800
M B.

66
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:54.600
Johnson Park, Moorhead, Minnesota, and you could look at that

67
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.040
area where it's like a round circle with no vegetation

68
00:04:58.199 --> 00:04:58.959
on that island.

69
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.959
Oh yes, it's like out there by Fargo.

70
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:11.079
Yep, wow, that's wild. Okay, yeah, totally got it. Man. Well, man,

71
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:15.519
I've never gotten anything from that area, Like my map

72
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.360
is super bear over there, but I'm gonna definitely keep

73
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.800
it in mind because it sounds like there's a history

74
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:26.439
of stuff happening over there. So I appreciate you coming

75
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.639
up and sharing your encounters from that area.

76
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.920
Hey, not a problem. And also I just like the

77
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:40.079
ad that there's an all female bigfoot hunting group that's

78
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:44.759
based on my area. And I told him about the

79
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:51.279
encounter and they stated that there's been encounters along the

80
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.959
Red River and she is like, you can google search it,

81
00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:00.000
but what they do is they come from Canada and

82
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.839
Minnesota and follow the Red River because there's so many

83
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:09.120
open farm fields and everything like that, there's areas that

84
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:10.759
they go through and feed along.

85
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.000
Okay, is that the she Squatchers?

86
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:15.639
Yes it is.

87
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:16.519
Yeah.

88
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.439
I figured that's like the only all female group I know.

89
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.279
So that's cool. That's cool.

90
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:23.600
Well awesome.

91
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.879
Hate I'm actually friends with Jen Cruz.

92
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.279
Oh okay, yeah, yeah, yep, yeah, I know the name.

93
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:29.959
Very cool.

94
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.199
Well, I might have to reach out to them, but

95
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:36.480
I appreciate you coming up, sir and sharing what you

96
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.199
know from that area and what you experienced.

97
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.000
Like something had just gone in there and just like

98
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:48.560
scooped up everything, just like it had in the hills

99
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:53.399
where there were the ant hills. And the one day

100
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:59.920
we were down there playing and out of the gully

101
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.560
came this. You could smell it before you saw it,

102
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:10.040
and it looked huge to us, but we were kids.

103
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.600
I mean, like so I can't even guesstimate how big

104
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:19.519
it was, but it looked it had like reddish hair

105
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.800
all over its body, and like you didn't like notice

106
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:31.639
any clothes, you just noticed the stench. And it just

107
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:36.519
went from the gully to this like through this like

108
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:42.879
little clearing into the woods, and I just like it

109
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:50.560
looked at us and then just kept walking. And I

110
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:54.680
asked my grandfather about it, Like I said something to

111
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:59.120
my mother, and she yelled at me for you know,

112
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.000
being far from home, and I wasn't really that far

113
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:06.360
from home, but you know, to her it was. And

114
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:14.519
my grandfather had been raised in western North Carolina and

115
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:21.439
he had been born on the Quala boundary, and he said,

116
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:29.399
you know that you could have seen a what the

117
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:36.039
Cherokee call it's uh Salue colaw, which is a wild

118
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:43.559
man or a big foot. And it's just something that

119
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.799
has always stuck with me. And then as I got

120
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.720
older and you know, became you know, more interested in everything,

121
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:56.000
like like in the gully, you would see like where

122
00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.080
there had been like broken trees, like like young trees

123
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:09.720
that were broken that almost like a nest and everything.

124
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:15.120
But I live in western Pennsylvania, and where we live,

125
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:20.320
there's also a thing called the dog Boy. It's actually

126
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.320
been on TV shows and stuff, like I think it

127
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.519
was like monsters and mysteries. It was on an episode

128
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:35.039
of there the Shenango Dog Boy, and my dad always said, well,

129
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.960
maybe it was that, and I'm like, no, this was muscular,

130
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:45.519
This wasn't like this wasn't you know, like scrawny. This

131
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.919
was big, even to a ten year old, like you

132
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:55.759
know when something is big. But it's always stuck with me.

133
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:02.639
The stench, and like two miles away from you know

134
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:06.360
where I grew up, it's Ohio. It's Trumbull County, like

135
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:14.320
we are like right on the border. So after that

136
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:21.679
summer we moved and I never went back to you

137
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:27.200
know that area again. I know now that it is

138
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:32.840
fenced off the last time, Like we went to go

139
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:40.720
fishing down at the river. It was fenced off and stuff.

140
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.799
And my mom actually worked for the owner of the

141
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:48.000
land and he said that he fenced it off because

142
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:56.519
people were riding horses back there. But I don't really

143
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:57.840
see how that was possible.

144
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:01.679
Wow, that as well. Can you remind me of the

145
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:03.399
year again that happened for you.

146
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:08.799
In nineteen eighty eight. It's in Mercers County, but it

147
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:16.240
was on the border of with Trumbull County. Okay, yeah,

148
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.720
because where we live, like you know, you're right on

149
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:25.519
the border. Actually, at the time, the school district over

150
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:28.600
in Trumbull County that bordered with one in Mercer County,

151
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:32.720
the school was like a third looked like a third

152
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.639
world country. Like the schools were so bad and parents

153
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:42.000
would buy lots, like empty lots like where I lived,

154
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.759
like so that they could have an address to send

155
00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:48.200
their kids over to school in Pennsylvania. Now they have

156
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:55.759
a brand new school. But like the Pa border with

157
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.919
Ohio with Trumbull County, like right there is where the

158
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.759
hills start. It's like where the glacier ended, Like, so

159
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.639
we have lots of gullies and we have like you know,

160
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.679
hills and stuff, where as like over in Trumbull County,

161
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:18.559
like it's almost perfectly flat, so like you know, you

162
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.480
have like a lot of farm land and whatnot.

163
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:27.240
So that is extremely interesting. Do you remember did it

164
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:30.000
have a certain look to its face when you were

165
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:31.840
able to see it.

166
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:38.279
I remember, like above the eyes like it kind of

167
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:41.559
had that stick like like you know when you look

168
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:45.039
at cavemen, like how above their eyebrows, like where their

169
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.919
eyebrows should be that areas, Like the skin is like

170
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.519
really thick and raised. Yep, that's what I noticed. That's

171
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:53.759
what I remember the most.

172
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:57.080
But so had a pronounced brow ridge.

173
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:03.919
Yeah, but the smell is what got you, like, you

174
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:09.399
know it just like I've never smelled anything like it since,

175
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.399
and I hope to never smell anything like that again.

176
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:19.960
But you like it. It was bad. My mother always

177
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:23.120
said maybe it was like a homeless veteran or something,

178
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:28.120
because like normally, like you know, homeless you know, people

179
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:32.960
would how they go down they go down south in

180
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:36.799
the winter because it's it's warm, and then they travel

181
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.679
up north in the summertime because it's usually less hot

182
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:44.759
up here than it is down in like Florida or

183
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:53.879
Georgia and that, but no, it wasn't It wasn't human. Yeah,

184
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:57.639
and it wasn't a bear. Yeah, it wasn't a bear.
