In this gripping episode, we sit down with Eric — a seasoned truck driver with over 40 years behind the wheel — who opens up about five Bigfoot sightings and two chilling encounters across the backroads and swamps of Florida.

From creatures moving at what locals call "psycho speed" to something slamming into his parked truck — twice — Eric’s story takes us deep into a Florida hot zone that few know exists. He’s seen white, black, and even red-haired beings; he’s watched one disappear into thorny brush, and he’s felt another watching him from the pitch-black pasture.

Eric doesn’t just believe Bigfoot exists — he knows, and after this conversation, you might start to believe too.🛻 Florida swamp roads

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.759
You're listening to Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron Tonight's

2
00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:06.320
story isn't from a hiker or a camper. It's from

3
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:09.119
a man who's spent over four decades behind the wheel

4
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.960
of a semi truck watching America pass by, mile after mile.

5
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:16.480
But in the back roads in swamps of Florida, something

6
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.359
started watching him. Back five sightings, two encounters in a

7
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:22.519
truck that shook in the middle of the night with

8
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:25.399
no one in sight. This isn't a legend, it's not

9
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.800
a secondhand story. It's a first hand account from someone

10
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:31.480
who knows what he saw. And this is the story

11
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:34.920
of Eric, the trucker who saw five. To stay with us,

12
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:37.479
all right, Bigfoot Society, we got the privilege of talking

13
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:40.479
to Eric today. Eric is an individual who's a listener

14
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.479
of the show but also has had some very interesting

15
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.560
things he's experienced over the years being a truck driver.

16
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.280
So welcome to the show, Eric, how's it going, man?

17
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.640
Went great so far. Great to be here.

18
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.799
Absolutely, we're hanging out on a Sunday afternoon. It's beautiful

19
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.079
up here in Iowa. I hope it's nice where you

20
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:01.039
you are as well.

21
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.280
It is now we had tornadoes last night, so we're

22
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:06.640
doing good now with the sun out.

23
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:08.319
Oh man, you made it through.

24
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:09.319
That's good. That's good.

25
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.920
Now, Eric, before you get going, is there anything that

26
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.959
the listeners would need to know for context regarding you

27
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.560
being a truck driver or would it probably be best

28
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:23.640
for you just to launch into sharing what you experienced.

29
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.359
I'll probably just go right into it because of I

30
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.560
had two weeks. I've had five sidings and two personal experiences,

31
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.319
and I think it'll fill up a lot.

32
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.200
All right, sir, Well, you know, let's make sure you

33
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:41.640
have all the time you have so for you feel

34
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:45.319
free to take the mic from here and take us

35
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:49.400
back to when this all start happening for you, okay.

36
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:55.640
I took the leisure of writing down dates and times

37
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:00.959
after the first one because I was one of those

38
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:04.400
back in the day who always thought this was a

39
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:09.800
north western US and Canada type of thing and there

40
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:14.599
was nothing around here. I never realized how popularly we

41
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:21.800
were with these people, and it was almost like a

42
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.639
shock the first time I saw one, which was April thirteenth,

43
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.520
twenty sixteen, and that's when I really became a knower.

44
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:33.680
I'd always been a believer because I thought, there's just

45
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:39.240
too much evidence in history, from back in the Viking

46
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:42.120
days of Nova Scotia before it was Nova Scotia, through

47
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.759
the early days of the country when American Indians and

48
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.439
settlers didn't compare notes, yet they had the same sightings

49
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.800
of the same beings. There's just too many things like that.

50
00:02:53.960 --> 00:03:01.280
And once I realized people were really did have artifacts

51
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:06.400
from them, things that they've kept from them that they

52
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:10.039
wanted science to look at, then I started really looking

53
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.599
at it more and listening even more. And as of

54
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:20.680
April thirteenth, one put himself right in my face down

55
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:25.560
in Florida. And I should also say that I'm a

56
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.680
resident of Georgia, but all five of my sightings and

57
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:33.520
two experiences have all been in Florida because I had been.

58
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.199
I didn't realize at the time, but I was in

59
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:41.120
a hot zone and for four of those sightings and

60
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.199
two experiences it was a hot song and also had

61
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.840
a siding two hundred miles north of there, still in Florida,

62
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:49.919
so and which by the way, was my only daylight

63
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:55.240
sighting as well. But I'd always been a believer, And

64
00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.919
then on that night that almost exactly I used to

65
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.960
haul I had a dedicated run from Atlanta down to

66
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.919
Central Florida, and I used to take a couple of

67
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.800
back roads and bypasses which would take me through a swamp,

68
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:24.199
nice long straight, uninterrupted with traffic, just just a great

69
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:28.240
way to go to save time, and with me always

70
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:33.160
looking at trying to avoid wildlife. You know, I'd see

71
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:38.000
the slightest movement anywhere and try to avoid it. And

72
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:43.720
but this, I was on a bypass, and it's just about,

73
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:49.800
like I said, just about one am, I saw, well,

74
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.079
I was on a bypass and there's no street lights there.

75
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:58.759
It's pitch black. There's no moonlight this night, and a

76
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.720
couple of cars were coming towards to me. So I

77
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.959
cut my brights off. And when I did that, I

78
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.439
saw a movement to my left of a man running

79
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.800
from the left across the road. I thought, from the right,

80
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.720
I mean to the right. I didn't understand why this

81
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:20.439
is all was split second thinking too. So as soon

82
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.519
as these two cars passed me, as soon as they

83
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.360
got to my front bumper, the last one got to

84
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.240
my front bumper, I hit my brights and it was

85
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.160
just in time to see this. What I thought was

86
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:35.199
I hadn't hauled has mat in the past. I know,

87
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.519
you know a time bac suit would come to the

88
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.839
mind immediately, which for anybody that don't know, that's a

89
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.800
white one piece suit to protect you from chemicals. And

90
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:51.439
I see this guy from my left, just like a hurricane.

91
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:56.639
He's running so fast. But when I hit my brights

92
00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:58.920
it was just in time to see him get to

93
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:03.040
the actual highway and cross in front of me. And

94
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:08.000
he was only I've said four hundred before, I didn't

95
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.160
mean to say in the past when I've told another

96
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.079
person about this, I didn't mean to say four hundred yards.

97
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.720
It's more like four hundred feet. He was pretty close.

98
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:23.040
But when he went across the road, I was awe

99
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.480
struck and I couldn't believe what I was seeing because

100
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:29.759
what I thought was a man in a Tivak suit

101
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:36.800
was actually a white haired what I thought was a

102
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:40.879
man run across the road, tall enough to look in

103
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.839
the window of my truck without getting on the step

104
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:48.920
and move into Like I've talked to a guy in

105
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:52.120
Florida about their speed, saying that he was moving at

106
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:57.120
an ungodly speed, just doesn't seem to grasp what you

107
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:00.480
feel when you see it. And he said, down here

108
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:05.279
in Florida, we call that psycho speed, and that fits

109
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.519
the bill a little bit better. It was psychotic how

110
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:11.879
fast he was moving, but it was slowly enough where

111
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:16.399
I'm such a highly perceptive person anyway that I looked

112
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:20.199
at it's like nothing else existed. I just focused right

113
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.199
on him because I was in shock and awe. He

114
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.480
was colored differently, which two of these five sightings were

115
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:33.720
colored differently. This one he was white top to bottom,

116
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.399
but it looked like he was wearing black gloves that

117
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.639
went up his forearms and black boots that went halfway

118
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.439
up the shins. So that confused me a little bit,

119
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:47.639
and I thought that's got to be just mud or something.

120
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:52.839
He got on him and he crossed the road, hit

121
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.240
the bushes on the right side, and I didn't know

122
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:57.240
there was a river over there. And after talking to

123
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.600
and reporting this side into the Florida they're in an

124
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.600
international group, but mainly they check on things in Florida,

125
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:10.079
I called them the next night. I looked up to

126
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.000
find out who to talk to down there, and the

127
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:14.839
guy that I spoke to the heads that said that

128
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:19.199
he was probably What they do is run back to

129
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.920
where they came from an area they're most familiar with,

130
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:24.920
and he must have been heading back to that river

131
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:31.720
because they used those as trailways. And you know, this

132
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:33.399
was kind of new to me too. I didn't know.

133
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.519
I've learned a lot about them since twenty sixteen, believe me,

134
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:41.200
but at that time I didn't know that. And he

135
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.799
said he would go and check it out. But he

136
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.320
said what it was probably was that he had been

137
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:53.559
standing in some real soft riverside swampy mud and he

138
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:57.000
was probably digging for muscles or who knows what else

139
00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:00.399
in there to eat, and he was he had just

140
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:04.240
come from the area he was coming from was a farm,

141
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:07.080
a horse farm, so there's no telling what he was

142
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.720
coming from and going to butt. When I got home

143
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:16.159
the next night, I looked up the number of the

144
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.360
Florida Group, and I looked up the map and to

145
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.679
find out where I was at so I could report

146
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.919
it actually before him before I called them to tell

147
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.120
them where it was. And he told me there was

148
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.440
a river there and he would check it out film it.

149
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.240
He did, and he put it on his website. And

150
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.840
when he filmed it, this was a couple of weeks

151
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:38.320
after I'd me and him had spoken on the phone,

152
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:42.320
which I can say that his one of those associatates

153
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:44.600
called me the next day, and then he called me

154
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.840
two weeks after that, and then he went down there

155
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:52.200
and filmed it. And of course there wouldn't be any

156
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:55.639
footprints left if there was before with the Florida rains

157
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:59.000
off and on sporadically as they come. But what he

158
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:01.840
did find, which he even said in the video, I

159
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.559
thought was interesting. He was filling the area and you

160
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:09.399
can see scrub marks from wild hogs, so there's a

161
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.279
lot of wildlife back there, which Florence still a lot

162
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.799
of wild hogs anyway. But where I saw him cross

163
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:19.200
in front of me when he hit the bushes, that

164
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.080
was still there. You could see where he came through

165
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:25.519
those bushes, because when he walked up to film this,

166
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:27.759
he said, well, this is interesting. Look at this. It

167
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:30.799
looked like a tunnel. This tunnel was made up of

168
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:37.559
those half inch thick vines with one inch thorns on him,

169
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.600
and he just blew right through that like it was nothing.

170
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.600
And it was still open where he came through. So

171
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.120
that made me feel a lot better too, because at

172
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:49.879
the time I was still almost questioning myself did I

173
00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:52.840
really see what I thought I saw because he moved

174
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:57.240
so fast, and what I saw just blew me away.

175
00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:04.200
That in Florida, I couldn't believe it. And then the

176
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:08.000
coloring that was explained as I said. And when I

177
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.360
got down to the terminal where I was delivering, I

178
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:15.240
played Devil's Advocate and filled and played ignorance to it.

179
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:17.679
And I asked the terminal manager when he came over

180
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:21.200
to get the bill lady, I said, do you guys

181
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.799
have any white bears down here? And he said no,

182
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.600
and I explained what had happened, and he said, oh,

183
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:31.879
what you saw was a kyote. And I said, coyoties

184
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.279
don't wrong on the back legs that fast or at all,

185
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:37.639
and they're not tall enough to look in the window

186
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.879
of my truck. And everybody in the off office from

187
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.000
the window was quiet. And then there's one guy over

188
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:47.720
in the back corner. He always stares at his computer

189
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:51.200
and never takes his eyes off the screen, never says anything.

190
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:53.639
And he yelled all the way across the room because

191
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.000
he had heard our discussion, and he said, what you

192
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:57.960
saw was a skunk akee and we got a bunch

193
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:00.879
of them down here, and everybody got quiet and looked

194
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:02.360
at me. I looked at them, and I just let

195
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.519
the the subject drop. And I used on that out

196
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.919
because we all know what I saw and they I

197
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.759
don't know if they believe it or not, but I

198
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:18.159
just let it drop and I left and next night

199
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:23.519
I got the information. The following day from that, I

200
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:27.600
called and spoke to that group and that all happened

201
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:32.679
what I explained earlier, and that was that, and the

202
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:36.399
guy was He called me two more times after that

203
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:39.559
to see if I wanted to talk about it anymore.

204
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:42.360
And one thing he said that I'll never forget that's

205
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:48.320
still true, is he said, once you've seen one, it

206
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:50.360
don't matter if it's fifty years from now, it'll still

207
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:53.639
seem like it was last night, And that being my

208
00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:56.919
first one, it definitely did and definitely does. I still

209
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:00.159
can see it, I still feel it. I said, we'll

210
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.440
see everything I saw that night, just as if it

211
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:12.919
just happened, And having already written down everything about it,

212
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.120
I just had it on a piece of paper to

213
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:21.240
tell the group about it from down there. But that

214
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:25.480
was April thirteenth, and I was sitting there's an area

215
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:30.039
in the swamp where we as truck drivers, well preface

216
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.799
it this way to say we as truck drivers, have

217
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:37.519
to take a mandatory break after eleven hours of driving.

218
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:41.279
And when I'm close enough to that eleven, I'll go

219
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:44.240
ahead and pull over and take my mandatory ten and

220
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:47.240
at least get that out of the way and coming

221
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.399
out of Florida, especially with three different back calls, I have.

222
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.519
I have a certain place that a park which is

223
00:13:52.720 --> 00:14:01.600
right there at that swamp. Now that swamp, that particular

224
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:06.279
big swamp is fifteen miles from where that sighting was

225
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:11.519
my first sighting, and I had no idea that that

226
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.679
was a hot zone as well. I found out later

227
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.759
through talking to the head of the group that he

228
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:19.759
said he has a lot of sightings in that area,

229
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:23.039
because we've spoke a number of times after this. He

230
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.000
said he has a number of sightings from that area,

231
00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:29.519
even from local cops who can't report it or thought

232
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:34.399
of as losing their minds and fossily their jobs, but

233
00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:37.039
they did. He has had some reports from them in

234
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:42.759
the area. And I told him that this was July

235
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:48.279
of twenty seventeen. I was sitting there taking my break.

236
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:52.240
It's just a great location for the length of time

237
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:55.279
to get from where I'm at to taking the break

238
00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:59.360
and still having time to get over there and get

239
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.039
everything done that I need and take off from there

240
00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:04.840
the following morning, and I was sitting there doing my

241
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:08.799
paperwork and I heard a loud pop. I don't know

242
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:10.559
if this is significant or not, but I went ahead

243
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.120
and wrote it down because I grabbed that piece of

244
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.200
paper with my first sighting on it, and I thought

245
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:19.399
I better write this down because it could be something,

246
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:24.000
not really thinking too much about it being serious, and

247
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:27.240
I'm still not sure. But I'm sitting there doing my

248
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:30.960
paperwork and there's such a loud pop not too far

249
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.240
from my truck that sounded like a twenty two caliber

250
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:36.200
pistol going off. So I looked out the window. You

251
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:40.000
could tell it was fresh wood. In other words, I

252
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:42.159
look out my window, and of course it's pitch black

253
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:45.120
out there, and it's woods and swamp, and I didn't

254
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:49.639
see a flashlight or lantern of anybody who could have

255
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.320
been out there, so I didn't know why that would

256
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.600
have popped. But I'm just I wrote this down and

257
00:15:55.639 --> 00:16:00.639
I relate it now because it could be significant, and

258
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:05.240
I started becoming more I guess at the time I

259
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:10.759
was laughingly saying that I'm so squatched sensitive now that

260
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.639
everything you know, I'm looking at it and listening and watching,

261
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:16.159
and still it could have been. And I told the

262
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:17.799
guy down there about that, and he said, yeah, it

263
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:20.080
could have been. They might have been signaling that you

264
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:21.879
just parked it with her. You just never know what

265
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.960
the sounds are that they make, or why we don't

266
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.639
know enough about the Knox or anything yet exactly. We've

267
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.000
got some real good ideas about the Knocks now, but

268
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.960
that could have been. So I just left that on

269
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:45.080
the list. And just three months after that October the

270
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:49.200
third of twenty seventeen, I'm two hundred miles north of

271
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:53.320
that swamp taking another back road that I take up

272
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:58.559
through central Florida. I take out of ten and then

273
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:02.960
I take another are back highway so I can go

274
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:08.599
up through central Georgia to where I'm delivering back to Atlanta.

275
00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:15.240
And there's a there's an agricultural stop we have to make.

276
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.720
We call them aggravation stations or accenters, where we just

277
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:21.920
have to stop and they check to make sure that

278
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.200
you know what we've got in our trailer before we

279
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:28.240
get up to the state line. And it's a pretty

280
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:31.119
good distance, you know, it's probably I believe it was

281
00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:33.559
about twenty some midd miles from the state line, but

282
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:40.920
it's still it's in a water protected area, conservation area pastures.

283
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:44.200
And of course, me being as I said, quote unquote

284
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.960
squatch sensitive, now I'm looking around thinking, yeah, what could

285
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:50.319
exist here? There's food, there's shelter, there's this, there's that.

286
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.920
And I went through there so much that three of

287
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:01.440
the officers that work there, we've just waved each other

288
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:04.599
and I'd go on, they know what I've got. And

289
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:07.880
as I slowed down to get his wave, I saw

290
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.720
a movement to my left and prifelvision, and when I

291
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.599
looked up real quick, I saw another one. I saw

292
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:18.039
a red one. This time it was the only red

293
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:20.279
one I've seen, the only daylight sight that I've seen.

294
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:25.759
It was another one running at that psychotic speed, and

295
00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:28.440
he almost made it without me seeing him. He was

296
00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:32.000
so fast, but I jerked my head around quick and

297
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:34.240
saw him just in time. He jumped over a six

298
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:39.079
foot fence into the woods, and then he suddenly stopped

299
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:41.880
and slowed down so much. And the reason I say

300
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.960
that is that as I was and I'm still rolling

301
00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:49.400
I'm still doing about five miles for hour rolling and

302
00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:53.440
I was at the area that he went into the

303
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:57.440
wood woods within two seconds. I was so it was

304
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:00.640
so close, and I looked in where he went in.

305
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:04.359
Of course I didn't see him. But before that, the

306
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:06.519
reason I know he stopped and went slow is that

307
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:11.240
him being red and the foliage still being pretty green.

308
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:15.319
I saw him moving behind the foliage and he went

309
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:18.160
real slow, and then he vanished. And as I got

310
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:20.200
to that area, I thought, sure i'd see him, and

311
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:24.160
he wasn't there. I thought, look at that, there's another one.

312
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:28.480
And so I wrote that all down and that was

313
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:33.799
just that was just over a year from the first

314
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:38.799
sighting April thirteenth to October third of seventeen. From sixteen

315
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:48.680
and a month after that, going up that same road,

316
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:53.039
I started noticing tree structures what could have been tree structures,

317
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:55.960
But because now I'm really looking at that area as

318
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:58.599
I go through it and passed it, it's a long

319
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:03.759
ride through swamp and pasture and no body out there

320
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.880
and no buildings, no houses or anything, just that accenter.

321
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:12.240
And so I stopped and took a picture of what

322
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:14.039
I thought was the structures, and as I went on

323
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:18.319
past that a couple of one hundred yards. You know,

324
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:20.680
a couple of years before that, I would have looked

325
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:27.799
at those trees the way they were stacked together, and thought, well,

326
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:32.359
you know, they fell in a good synchronized way, I guess,

327
00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:35.039
but and look over it. But now I don't, I

328
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:37.799
look at it for what it might be. And a

329
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:39.720
couple of hundred yards from there, out in the middle

330
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:44.599
of a palm Franz field, was a tree limb that

331
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:47.039
had been stripped down, and it was horizontally placed on

332
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:51.079
a couple of branches way out in the middle. I

333
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:54.480
thought I would have thought that who would have or

334
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:56.880
why would somebody do that? And I still don't know why.

335
00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:59.759
But as I said, being a squat says, I'm looking

336
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:03.079
at that too and wondering why is that there? And

337
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.799
it still could be something I don't know, but just

338
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.240
things that I picked up and noticed along the way

339
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:17.039
that may or may not mean anything at all. But

340
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:25.119
that was September. Two months after that. Now I'm into

341
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:31.240
November of twenty seventeen. I'm going through down to the

342
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:33.720
area where I normally park to take my break on

343
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.519
the northbound side. I'm southbound on that same highway coming

344
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:39.599
to the end where it meets another highway and tease

345
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:45.200
into it, and I make a left right there. And

346
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.839
as I'm you know, cranking up my gears getting the

347
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:52.759
truck moving again, I'm looking. I'm always looking for a movement.

348
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.880
And I see movement to my left periphial from my

349
00:21:57.839 --> 00:21:59.960
bright lights being on, because as I said, there's no

350
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:04.200
lights in that area that area either or other. And

351
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:08.680
I saw movement to my left just in time for

352
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:12.680
the peripheral of my bright lights to pick up a large,

353
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:20.640
really large black being turn and walk away. And if

354
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:22.319
he hadn't moved, I would have never seen him. I

355
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:25.480
would have never had any reason to look. But when

356
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:28.119
he moved and walked away, I saw his right arm

357
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:30.559
swing back as he stepped away, and I went, there's

358
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.319
another one right there, And look how closely as to

359
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:36.799
where I park? This is like I think I measured

360
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:40.519
it at two tenths of a mile from what I

361
00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:44.359
normally park, so I know they're right where I easily

362
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:49.799
stay for the night. And now they're really close to home.

363
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:53.039
I'm thinking that this must be a hotter zone than

364
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:57.039
I thought, because it really looks like and I always

365
00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:02.400
thought it was but now there's evidence again, and I

366
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:05.279
didn't mission it to the guys that at the terminal anymore.

367
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:07.119
They never said anything else about it to me either.

368
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:12.119
They're just they're not the guys to talk to about

369
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:15.480
stuff like this. I did talk to one truck driver

370
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:17.440
down there, and he kind of looked at me sideways,

371
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:22.720
and I thought, okay, yeah, there's you know, it's just

372
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:24.480
the type that don't want to believe it, and they'll

373
00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:27.319
start thinking that I'm a whack of So there's very

374
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:30.759
few people, even family, that that I tell anything to,

375
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:33.359
because even some of them that I thought would believe me,

376
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:37.799
they even looked at me kind of quietly, and I thought, okay, well,

377
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:41.559
I won't talk to these family members anymore about it.

378
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:48.920
And in fact, my girlfriend at that time and my

379
00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:54.960
oldest sister were they They believe me. They know me

380
00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:58.880
well enough to know I'm not just making up fantasies

381
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:02.200
to be to talk and draw attention to myself. I'm

382
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:09.880
not that way. My girlfriend is a full blood American Indian.

383
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:14.000
In her tribe, they have them, she believes in them.

384
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:19.640
I can't even pronounce what they call them, but she's

385
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:25.279
from an Arizona tribe and there she knows up very well.

386
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:27.319
And then my sister, of course, she just believed me

387
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:37.160
because she knows me. There were other friends that I

388
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.960
told that that were semis So believers, and they still

389
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:43.440
looked at me like, you know, maybe you'll see one

390
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:47.359
out west, but for you to have this many sightings

391
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:50.200
and be right there in Florida, I don't know. It

392
00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:53.079
just made me feel like that. They didn't actually say it,

393
00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:57.079
but I know them well enough for their looks, so

394
00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:59.279
I quit talking to anybody about it. And I haven't

395
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:05.599
even mentioned this to anybody in years. I'm a knower.

396
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:10.400
I know they exist, and when I see people online

397
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:15.319
talking about the what it could be instead of you know,

398
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.319
I just let it go that one day people are

399
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:21.720
going to know, and right now it's just I think

400
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:28.759
more people nowadays know than ever before. I think we've

401
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:31.920
communicated enough now that a lot of people know about them,

402
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:35.920
and the ones that don't know just don't want to believe.

403
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:38.839
And you know that's there right as well. I'm not

404
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:43.880
I would never try to convince anybody, but as far

405
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:46.200
as I can tell, like my family members, they really

406
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:48.279
don't have any reason to believe other than what I've

407
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:51.960
told them because they're not out and about. And I

408
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:53.839
can also say that if I hadn't been in these

409
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:56.440
certain areas on this job, I would have never seen

410
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:59.880
any but I happen to be on the right highway,

411
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:02.559
in the right locations at the right time. Obviously, I

412
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:06.319
don't know if maybe they would have been doing what

413
00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:09.079
they were doing anyway, whether I was there or not,

414
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:16.920
but they were obviously in my eyesight and close to

415
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:19.000
me at that time anyway, and they could have waited.

416
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:24.440
That's another question I have about it, is these road

417
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:28.599
crossings I've had, and these sightings I've had, why didn't

418
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:31.759
they just wait until I passed? And why would they

419
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:34.160
come out in front of me like that? That always

420
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:35.759
made me one to two. Thus, they don't have any

421
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:43.319
answers for really. So after having that third sighting that

422
00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:49.200
was November fifteenth or twenty seventeen, it was nine months later,

423
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:57.960
October twenty third of twenty eighteen. This was at eleven

424
00:26:58.039 --> 00:27:03.480
thirty five PM, I had another road crossing, and this

425
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:07.319
one as I came down through that swamp area again,

426
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:10.039
I got to where it teas off and I make

427
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:13.319
my left where I'd just seen a year before that

428
00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:16.119
one on the on the left. As I started cranking

429
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:19.680
up my gears, well, I had gotten up to roughly

430
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:24.799
eighth ninth gear, so I had pretty good speak going

431
00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:28.640
at that time. And that's kind of a dark highway

432
00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:32.160
as well. But as you get further up the road,

433
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:35.400
street lights are starting, and there's some businesses and houses.

434
00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:38.079
But before that, there's a there's still a lot of

435
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:43.799
pasture land around there, and there's a painting farm or

436
00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:46.400
some type of farm with some animals on it that

437
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:54.599
advertised on the right. And I see this is, you know,

438
00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:57.920
late at night, as I said, eleven thirty five, and

439
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:00.920
so I'm watching all the time, and I see movement again.

440
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:06.960
This is on my right side. So I look, and

441
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:12.599
here is a black one running right towards me. As

442
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:16.759
I'm going up that road. He's coming down the other

443
00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:19.519
side towards me. And I'm looking at him as he

444
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:23.880
crosses the road, of course, taking in all the characteristics

445
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:28.359
I can of him. And this one's also colored strange,

446
00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:31.160
but he's a black one with a gray face. I

447
00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:34.319
could see. I didn't have my glasses on it at

448
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:37.079
that time, but I can still tell. I was close

449
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:40.279
enough to tell that he was gray faced and black.

450
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.400
He was running on all fours and don't I wouldn't

451
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:49.079
say it was the psychotic speed I had seen twice,

452
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:54.279
but this was very fast. But when he crossed the road,

453
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:58.680
I noticed he had a white side, and without my

454
00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:03.960
glasses on, thinking about it later, I was thinking that,

455
00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:06.480
well he came from that patentsume maybe he had a

456
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:10.599
goat under his left arm. He was carrying like a football.

457
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:15.759
Maybe he had a labrador or a sheep, a pig,

458
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:19.640
And he was just far enough with that I couldn't

459
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:22.480
really tell. He was close enough enough that I could

460
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:27.440
tell that. I couldn't get details, but I got characteristics.

461
00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:30.039
And as I got up to where he crossed the

462
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:34.559
road he went across. When I reported that one to

463
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:37.000
the same Florida group, the guy said, well, there's a

464
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:40.519
three foot bob wire fence right there where he crossed it.

465
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:42.039
He jumped and on and I said, as a matter

466
00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:45.599
of fact, he didn't jump. He ran across that fence

467
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:47.920
like it was an open gate. That's just how big

468
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:52.720
he was. And he was built like a like a

469
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:57.480
football player wearing pads. He was huge. And as he

470
00:29:57.559 --> 00:29:59.839
came barreling towards me, I was taking all this in

471
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.440
and as he crossed the road, I've got so used

472
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:05.640
to this now you could say that as he crossed

473
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:08.559
the road, I remember saying to myself out loud, don't look,

474
00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:11.519
there goes another one of those things they say don't exist,

475
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:17.480
And there he goes. I watched him cross, no moonlight out.

476
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:20.880
But when he got into that pasture area, he went

477
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:24.240
into an island of trees and I couldn't see, but

478
00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:27.559
I could see his white side, And once the white

479
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:30.599
side disappeared, I knew he was in the trees pretty thick.

480
00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:34.920
So if he had been, if he didn't have a

481
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:37.440
white patch on his side, and he was standing there

482
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:40.119
at night, i'd never seen him. There's no telling how

483
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:41.880
many had been around me. And I don't E didn't

484
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:46.000
know about it, but that characteristic gave him away, like

485
00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:49.680
he was running with a spotlight on his side, and

486
00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:52.720
it was this whole rib cage. And I've heard since

487
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:56.000
then that there's been some scene with a big white

488
00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:00.480
patch on their back and on the chest area, So

489
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:02.799
it could have been that. I don't know. I just

490
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:06.119
don't know what it was. It's it's just funny that

491
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:09.279
he was coming from a zoo or a farm, rather

492
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:15.759
and he had that that white side, so it made

493
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:17.720
me think, that's all I mean, I really don't know.

494
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:26.200
And I reported that one and the head of that

495
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:28.119
group again he went out there and he said he

496
00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:32.720
sat and that's also let me say this also that

497
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:36.039
that that is right at some power lines, and he

498
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:39.519
said that power line area is a very hot area

499
00:31:39.559 --> 00:31:44.680
for them to travel. So, like I said before too,

500
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:47.799
and I'm in a hot someone out even realizing it.

501
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:51.559
They're all around me down there, which is why I

502
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:53.880
never got out of my truck at night. I never

503
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:58.839
one time. I did before before I knew this, but

504
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:03.559
after these and the things that are going on down there,

505
00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:05.480
I just quit getting out at night. That hadn't really

506
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:08.920
really no reason except to wait until in the morning

507
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:15.240
daylight or close to daylight with my strong flashlight. So

508
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:19.400
he said when he went down there to check it out,

509
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:21.119
that he sat for two hours on the side of

510
00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:26.160
the road, watching and waiting, and he interviewed, talked to

511
00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:31.200
some people that had the UH that lived close by,

512
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:35.119
not right that area, but live close by, And he

513
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:36.799
talked to a few people at the first sight and

514
00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:40.640
as well and let his card with them, but just

515
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:42.880
to let him know that he was on their property

516
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:49.160
looking around, and but he said again he didn't see anything.

517
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:51.640
And that was that was another area where the cops

518
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:57.799
I reported seeing them as well. So it's good to

519
00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:00.119
know that, you know, somebody in the law enforce I

520
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:03.400
have seen the same things I've seen. But as I

521
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:05.559
said before too, i'm a believer now, I mean I'm

522
00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:09.240
a knower now. And I wasn't even thrilled to see

523
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:12.160
that one. As big of a deal as that was.

524
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:16.039
I just saw him like I was watching, you know,

525
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:19.119
anybody's horse had gotten out, and he ran across the road.

526
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:23.599
There goes a horse, and it just wasn't that thrilling.

527
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:27.400
It was exciting to see, but I'm calm about it now.

528
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:32.480
And so anyway, that was my fourth one, and that

529
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:38.480
was twenty eighteen. The fifth one went all the way

530
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:44.000
up to January twenty sixth of twenty twenty two, and

531
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:50.079
this happened at two am again the same area that swamp.

532
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:52.920
As I'm coming down to where the road's to you off.

533
00:33:54.039 --> 00:34:01.000
I had always thought that that pasture area across where

534
00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:05.319
the highway teas into the next highway looked like a

535
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:10.679
great place for one. So for those next three years

536
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:13.920
or so, every time I made that stop right there,

537
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:15.840
it hit my bright lights. When there were no cars

538
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:19.840
around where, it would just my lights would sweep across

539
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:22.960
that field. Because it's pitch black out there, but I've

540
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:26.039
seen it in the daytime. I know what's there. And

541
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:28.880
as my lights would sweep across across, I could see,

542
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:31.000
you know, a deer once in a while, and a

543
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:34.960
cow once in a while. It wasn't a lot of

544
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:38.280
cows out there, and I would just sweep it and

545
00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:42.440
go on. Well, this night of January twenty sixth, when

546
00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:46.519
I made the sweep, I saw it like a bright

547
00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:50.360
neon lights lights beaming off of that. I saw a

548
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:54.960
white one, another white one, and it was Now this

549
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:57.800
was also the creepiest one of all. For some reason,

550
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:06.360
he was probably at least three hundred yards away. You know,

551
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:11.039
he wasn't real close, but I didn't I know enough

552
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:17.840
about their characteristics. Now when I see one, I know one,

553
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:21.239
and he was. It was a white one. He was

554
00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:26.239
standing slightly turned to the right but towards me, and

555
00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:28.519
he was leaning over just a little bit, and he

556
00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:31.519
was just standing there like a statue. And as I

557
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:35.760
made the sweep, I went look at that there, speaking

558
00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:38.719
out loud to myself. I talked to myself a lot,

559
00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:41.679
but I said, look at that, there's another one, and

560
00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:47.480
without my bright lights. When once my lights had passed him,

561
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:50.719
I couldn't see him anymore. It's so pitch dark out there.

562
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:54.239
So I leaned forward and looked out my passion's side

563
00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:58.400
window because I couldn't see him, and it's pitch black.

564
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:02.159
There's no way to see him at without my bright lights,

565
00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:04.760
I would never known he was there either, even though

566
00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:11.559
he's completely white. And I reported that one to the

567
00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:18.280
guy as well to the group. But that one was

568
00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:21.960
the creepiest one for some reason. And I've heard about

569
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:28.239
them projecting things into people like confusion and fear and

570
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:31.320
things like that, so I think this one was possibly

571
00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:39.679
just reaching me and saying that I'm not safe, don't stop,

572
00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:43.119
don't come over here. Who knows or what reason why.

573
00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:46.519
But even though he wasn't moving, he was just standing

574
00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:50.920
there looking at me. I had a real crazy feeling

575
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:53.000
about him, and I was glad to leave him behind

576
00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:54.800
and keep on going up the road because that was

577
00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:58.800
very strange. So that was my five sightings, and I've

578
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:04.400
had two other experiences, which is the reason I don't

579
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:11.239
run Florida anymore, besides having sightings which some people would

580
00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:15.480
get away from it all because of that. That kind

581
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:19.760
of fascinated me, but I didn't want to get too

582
00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:22.239
close to be one of the people. I've heard on

583
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:26.159
their sightings where they've run into them in the woods,

584
00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:28.719
or they've almost bumped into them, or they were twenty

585
00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:30.440
feet from them, and that kind of thing. I can

586
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:34.679
only imagine how terrifying that could be to anybody. When

587
00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:39.239
I'm seeing the sheer size and the bulkiness and thickness

588
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:44.159
of these beings at a safe distance. I've had the

589
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:46.639
kind of sightings that most people wish they could have,

590
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:48.360
where they could just see them from their vehicle and

591
00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:51.920
keep going. Thankfully, all five of my sightings have been

592
00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:56.599
like that. But right there again at that hot swamp

593
00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:00.880
coming back where I take my break, where I heard

594
00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:08.880
the pop before I pulled in there on June sixteenth

595
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:11.880
or twenty two, so this is five months roughly after

596
00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:17.199
seeing that white one, and that's always been a safe

597
00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:20.480
place to park. The trucks line up there bumper to

598
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:24.119
bumper on both sides of the highway, especially on the

599
00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:26.199
south down side, but on the north down side, we

600
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:28.679
have a limited amount of space, and we might have

601
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:34.599
maybe eight tractor trailer combinations in there, bumper to bumper

602
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:39.599
pretty close, and that's all the room there is, whereas

603
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:42.679
the other side goes for a few tenths of a

604
00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:46.519
mile and it's further up. It's not right beside us,

605
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:50.320
it's further up. So we're kind of in this. We're

606
00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:53.320
on this side of the road by ourselves. But there's

607
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:57.840
always been a safe place to park, and it's such

608
00:38:57.840 --> 00:38:59.800
a safe place that even though it's out in the public.

609
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:02.960
What I do when I shut down for the night,

610
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:09.159
when I turn lights out and the motor off and everything,

611
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:12.400
or leave it on for that matter, I always cover

612
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:15.239
my eyes and ears. What I do is I take

613
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:17.320
a dish towel and fold in half and cover my

614
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:22.239
eyes and ears for complete and total darkness, just in

615
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:25.679
case any lights hit me. And then I take my

616
00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:31.800
gun range ear covers and put them over the towel

617
00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:35.400
over my ears, and it holds the towel there. And

618
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:37.760
it's very nice and quiet and peaceful where I can

619
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:40.119
sleep goether I can't even hear I can barely hear

620
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:43.719
cars driving past me, and I don't wear that kind

621
00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:48.239
of what I call a rig just everywhere. And if

622
00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:52.679
I'm in a questionable place where I've got to shut

623
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:55.480
down for the night on the side road or entrance

624
00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:58.480
exit ramps somewhere, I don't do that. And it's not

625
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:01.039
a very good nice sleep either. But there just like

626
00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:06.920
a rest area, I put the rig on and I'm

627
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:11.199
lights out. But anyway before that, I pulled into that

628
00:40:11.239 --> 00:40:20.000
swamp and I shut down and thinking everything's normal, normalless

629
00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:23.960
it ever is, And I'm standing between the seats with

630
00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:26.440
the lights on, and I'm reading and it's an inspection

631
00:40:26.559 --> 00:40:28.920
report that was just done on my motor. Because I

632
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:32.360
try to improve each sound. I have a PM done

633
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:36.760
on the motor. I try to see if my idle

634
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:41.079
times better, mileage is better for a mile, etcetera. So

635
00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:43.400
I like to read over it and compare them. And

636
00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:47.159
I'm standing there between the seats reading over that one,

637
00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:56.280
and my whole truck rocked. And it wasn't what something

638
00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:58.400
my co workers. I told some of the guys about

639
00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:01.000
they because they parked down there, and I said, you guys,

640
00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:03.119
be careful when you parked on there, because somebody rocked

641
00:41:03.159 --> 00:41:05.800
my truck. The other night, and I never told any

642
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:10.840
of them what I know it was. And they said, oh, no,

643
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:13.280
it's just your air bags releasing. They'll tremble a little bit.

644
00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:17.639
And I said, I've been driving almost forty two years.

645
00:41:18.480 --> 00:41:20.960
I'm sixty two years old. I started driving in the

646
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:25.639
early eighties. I know what airbags feel like when they release.

647
00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:29.239
At this stage of the game. You know, they'll give

648
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:32.079
you a little shudder while there the air's coming out

649
00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:34.199
of them. But this, and also I told them my

650
00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:38.519
motor wasn't even even running. I mean, my motor was

651
00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:40.599
still running, so there was no reason for the air

652
00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:45.480
bags to release. So it wasn't that anyway. But whatever

653
00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:51.519
did this, I was telling them, rocked my truck so

654
00:41:51.719 --> 00:41:55.000
hard that I took one hand to clutch my seat

655
00:41:55.519 --> 00:42:01.239
because I was rocking inside like that. And I was

656
00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:04.039
so shocked by that. I immediately cut the light out

657
00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:06.280
and looked out the window, and of course nothing was there.

658
00:42:08.039 --> 00:42:11.440
And that was not a very good night's sleep that night,

659
00:42:11.480 --> 00:42:16.000
because that had never happened, and I'd never heard of

660
00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:21.199
it happening, And so I didn't park down there again

661
00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:24.599
next morning when I left. When I came back down

662
00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:26.760
a couple of days later, I didn't park there. I'd

663
00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:30.599
go past that highway twenty more miles up to the

664
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:32.920
interstate where I knew of a good rest area and

665
00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:38.559
I could shut down. And I did that for a

666
00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:42.519
few months, but when I went past that area. Funny

667
00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:44.599
thing was when I went past that highway and looked

668
00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:49.760
there might be only one or two trucks parked there.

669
00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:52.440
So I started wondering, maybe some of my neighbors have

670
00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:55.000
been getting harassed there too, and we don't know each other,

671
00:42:56.079 --> 00:42:58.519
we wouldn't have any reason to know. Have a coffee

672
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:03.480
break there and talk about it. So this went on

673
00:43:03.599 --> 00:43:06.159
for weeks. When I went past there, nobody hardly was there,

674
00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:12.559
and I wasn't gonna stop. Forget it. I never parked

675
00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:15.239
there on weekends, but even during the week I just

676
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:19.920
went on past it. And I finally got my gumption

677
00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:25.440
up again. That happened June sixteenth or twenty two, well,

678
00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:35.280
September eighth of twenty two. Let me back up. At

679
00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:37.519
the end of August, I went there and nothing happened,

680
00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:41.840
so I thought everything was okay. Whatever did that must

681
00:43:41.880 --> 00:43:44.199
have been a fluke. I don't know what kind of

682
00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:46.360
fluke it could have been, but maybe I won't be

683
00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:50.480
bothered anymore, even though I know what did it. Well.

684
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:56.320
September eighth was the second time parking there from my

685
00:43:56.440 --> 00:44:03.039
initial return, and everything was fine. I had put the

686
00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:07.639
lights out, motors off, I put my rig on, and

687
00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:11.840
I was in just about and I was in such

688
00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:14.880
a deep sleep. I was dreaming. And my truck got

689
00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:22.519
rocked so hard that my head was bouncing and rolling

690
00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:29.920
around on the pillow, and I was in such a state. Well,

691
00:44:29.960 --> 00:44:33.840
I was dreaming that just a few years before that

692
00:44:33.880 --> 00:44:35.880
we'd had a tornado where I was living at the time.

693
00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:39.320
My wife. My wife couldn't wake me up. She had

694
00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:41.960
ran upstairs and she was bouncing my head on the pillow.

695
00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:44.440
Tell me I was under a sleeping pill. I should

696
00:44:44.440 --> 00:44:47.000
take those once in a while. And that night I

697
00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:50.760
had taken a sleeping pill and she was bouncing my

698
00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:52.239
head on the pillow and she said, this is the

699
00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:54.280
third time I've came up here. You've got to get

700
00:44:54.280 --> 00:44:56.599
out of here. The tornt They just said, the tornado

701
00:44:56.639 --> 00:44:59.559
was almost here. Get down to the basement where we're at.

702
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:02.840
I slowly fell out of the bed and got up

703
00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:09.480
and anyway, when my truck was being rocked, I was

704
00:45:09.599 --> 00:45:12.960
dreaming that I was in that place again, with my

705
00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:16.719
wife bouncing me, telling, trying to wake me up. That's

706
00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:23.320
how hard the rocking was. I immediately tore the rig off,

707
00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:27.800
kind of kiss cussing, because now I was getting irritated

708
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:30.559
with it. I jumped up out of the bed and

709
00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:33.199
looked out the window, and nothing's there, of course, which

710
00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:35.239
made me even more mad. So I thought, these things

711
00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:41.880
are harassing me now. And I had already tested the

712
00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:45.000
springs on the truck, trying to recreate what happened the

713
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:49.400
first time. And I'm two hundred and sixty five pounds,

714
00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:53.280
I'm sixty two, and I had gotten up on the

715
00:45:53.320 --> 00:45:56.440
side step and grabbed the monkey bar and I had

716
00:45:56.480 --> 00:45:59.760
bounced up and down, pulling on it. I'd push on it,

717
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:02.519
shake it, and I can barely move those springs, which

718
00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:08.039
I knew would happened. That the suspension is huge on

719
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:12.360
these trucks. But whatever was shaking me was shaking it

720
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:17.760
like you would you would rock any like a motorcycle,

721
00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:20.079
like you're bouncing up and down on a little dirt bike.

722
00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:24.480
It was rocking me so hard, and I thought, that's it.

723
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:27.880
I'm not I'm not coming here anymore. This is it.

724
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:33.599
But I was. I was mad. I wasn't afraid. So

725
00:46:33.719 --> 00:46:36.440
what I did was throw my rig back on and

726
00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:41.000
go back to sleep. I mean, not long before that.

727
00:46:41.039 --> 00:46:43.519
I would have never done that, but I was. I was.

728
00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:50.400
I was more mad than anything else. And I kept

729
00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:54.559
going down there. But another thing I heard about was

730
00:46:56.440 --> 00:47:02.519
the Chippewa will Before they go into the woods, there

731
00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:07.440
are jibs and chip Hole would speak to the beams

732
00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:10.639
and say, I'm coming in because I have to hunt, etcetera, etcetera,

733
00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:12.880
don't bother us, We're not here for anything, et cetera,

734
00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:17.480
sort of apologizing as they come into the wood line.

735
00:47:17.639 --> 00:47:21.039
And I thought, I'm going to do that. I'm going

736
00:47:21.079 --> 00:47:23.400
to park down there, and I started doing it. When

737
00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:26.559
I parked there, I would just roll my window down

738
00:47:26.639 --> 00:47:31.559
and talk to the darkness and just tell them that

739
00:47:31.599 --> 00:47:36.840
I'm only here because I have to be. Don't scare

740
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:40.599
me tonight. I'm not here to bother you. I'm only

741
00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:42.039
here because I have to be. As soon as I

742
00:47:42.039 --> 00:47:45.760
get my rest, I'll be gone. And I did that

743
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:47.639
for the last few times I was there until I

744
00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:53.320
got another run. Because what I did was I talked

745
00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:56.639
to my dispatch about changing locations because i'd been running

746
00:47:56.639 --> 00:47:58.719
that same area for so many years, and all over

747
00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:04.679
Florida for that matter, but actually that area that as

748
00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:07.639
of August last year, I started running North and South

749
00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:11.320
Carolina instead because I thought they're getting too close to

750
00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:15.320
me now and I don't want to get any closer

751
00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:17.519
and have to find out what to do next time.

752
00:48:19.639 --> 00:48:21.360
And I don't know what might be the next time,

753
00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:27.039
what might happen, And I'll just leave this as a

754
00:48:27.039 --> 00:48:34.159
as a peaceful get away. You all keep living as

755
00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:35.920
you're living, and I'm going up here to live as

756
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:39.519
I live, which, by the way, I had been invited

757
00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:44.280
twice because of these sidings. I've been invited twice by

758
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:48.400
people to go down and camp and do some trailing

759
00:48:48.440 --> 00:48:52.360
and tracking, and I refused both times. I just haven't.

760
00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:54.400
I don't have any use for that. I'm not a

761
00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:57.440
researcher and I don't want to be one, and I

762
00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:01.840
don't want to bother them anyway. So there's not anything

763
00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:04.519
that I would I would look forward and try to do.

764
00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:09.320
I just wouldn't want to bother them anyway. You know,

765
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:12.280
if I was hunting and I ran into some by accident,

766
00:49:12.360 --> 00:49:14.599
that's one thing, But actually camp and look for them.

767
00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:17.079
I don't want to do that. I have no reason.

768
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:21.519
And I just looked at live as you live, and

769
00:49:21.519 --> 00:49:23.519
I'm going to go live as I live unless I

770
00:49:23.519 --> 00:49:31.800
have a peaceful separation forever, I hope. And uh, I'd

771
00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:34.719
say that that's it. That's my experiences in Florida. All

772
00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:35.239
in Florida.

773
00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:43.559
By the way, Eric, that is the incredible grouping of

774
00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:48.159
encounters and so interesting. You're a truck driver as well.

775
00:49:48.679 --> 00:49:51.679
I want to comment real quick. A lot of truck

776
00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:57.840
drivers reach out to me. They don't come on record.

777
00:49:57.960 --> 00:50:01.360
There's there's more out there that's happening. Then more people

778
00:50:01.559 --> 00:50:04.119
that then people realize when it comes to truck drivers

779
00:50:04.119 --> 00:50:09.079
seeing Bigfoot, it's a lot. So it's it's very unique

780
00:50:09.159 --> 00:50:12.119
that you you've come on record, and thank you for

781
00:50:12.360 --> 00:50:16.199
doing so. There's something you said at the very beginning

782
00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:19.480
that I thought was interesting because you said it really quick.

783
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:22.079
You may not have even noticed that you said it,

784
00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:28.000
but uh, I'm just curious. So you refer to them

785
00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:30.199
as as people is what I heard?

786
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:32.000
Correct? Oh?

787
00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:40.280
Yes, yeah, what was it was? What made you get

788
00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:44.400
to the point where you you now refer to them

789
00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:47.920
as people as opposed to like a skunk, Gabe, or

790
00:50:48.119 --> 00:50:49.639
bigfoot or sasquatch.

791
00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:56.400
The main thing that made me, even even though I've

792
00:50:56.440 --> 00:51:00.719
never personally heard this, it was there's beach they have

793
00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:05.079
where they communicate with each other, and I've heard there's

794
00:51:05.079 --> 00:51:10.960
family units and small clans and they try not to

795
00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:14.239
bother us that like any other animal or or a

796
00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:18.920
person pretty much would would do, but unless they're threatened.

797
00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:23.039
But the speech and communication what I've heard about, and

798
00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:26.760
I've heard the recordings from from Ron in California, and

799
00:51:26.800 --> 00:51:29.760
in fact I heard them again the other day that

800
00:51:31.760 --> 00:51:36.599
you know, they've they're built like us, just more extreme,

801
00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:41.159
but they communicate. They're built like us, They've got the

802
00:51:41.239 --> 00:51:45.039
same body parts we do, so why wouldn't they have

803
00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:47.800
the same family units? And it makes me think of

804
00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:50.400
them as just that as people, as groups of a

805
00:51:50.480 --> 00:51:57.760
different huge strain of people. That's all. It's, That's all it.

806
00:51:57.719 --> 00:52:03.440
Is, gotcha. It's it's very interesting, especially, I mean when

807
00:52:03.480 --> 00:52:07.000
you think of there's there's some times when they've been

808
00:52:07.159 --> 00:52:10.719
referred to as like the wild man, and you know

809
00:52:10.760 --> 00:52:15.800
there might be something to that. Think of what would

810
00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:19.760
happen if you know, we were put in a wooded

811
00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:23.199
situation for years and years and years. What would happen

812
00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:27.800
to us eventually? I mean, who knows, right, but it

813
00:52:27.880 --> 00:52:30.880
might bring us back to a certain way of living.

814
00:52:30.920 --> 00:52:34.000
There's no telling, absolutely no way of telling that. But yeah,

815
00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:35.519
I agree, it would.

816
00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:39.039
Be an interesting experiment. I don't know if it'll ever

817
00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:45.760
be done. But you mentioned that you see them move

818
00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:50.280
like psycho speed fast, which is a really interesting way

819
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:52.880
to say that, but I think it definitely gets the

820
00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:57.920
point across. Have you ever seen anything else move that

821
00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:01.280
psycho speed fast? In this can even be in like

822
00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:05.159
a movie or a TV show, anything else that comes

823
00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:06.559
close to what you would see.

824
00:53:08.119 --> 00:53:10.800
Yeah. The only thing I could compare it to is

825
00:53:12.079 --> 00:53:18.199
that I thought about this beforehand. Back then was Mutual

826
00:53:18.199 --> 00:53:20.440
of Omaha's Wild Kingdom I grew up on. They would

827
00:53:20.440 --> 00:53:24.119
show a leopard run in slow motion where you would

828
00:53:24.119 --> 00:53:27.360
see a blur behind him, and then they would let

829
00:53:27.360 --> 00:53:30.840
it go at actual speed. It reminds me of that

830
00:53:31.519 --> 00:53:37.360
it's just lightning super fast, and I couldn't believe it.

831
00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:39.639
It's still hard to believe that a being that that

832
00:53:40.519 --> 00:53:45.280
size can move that quickly. It's no doubt that they

833
00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:48.000
are the greatest athlete on the world in the world

834
00:53:48.880 --> 00:53:52.440
with their strength and speed that who could match that?

835
00:53:53.880 --> 00:53:58.920
What could match that? And I've also heard witnesses say

836
00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:02.639
out in Alaska that they had seen a squatch standing

837
00:54:02.679 --> 00:54:06.440
at the end of a woodline, and these guys, they

838
00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:09.000
were some type of tribe in Alaska, and they were

839
00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:11.920
in the canoe coming up on the shoreline, so they

840
00:54:11.960 --> 00:54:14.119
stopped when they saw the squats on the left side

841
00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:16.559
side neyud just see him in the shadows. But to

842
00:54:16.639 --> 00:54:20.280
the right they also stopped because the grizzly bear was

843
00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:25.880
just taking his time on all fours walking down the shoreline.

844
00:54:26.679 --> 00:54:29.440
So they stopped and looked and watched, and that grizzly

845
00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:35.519
sniffed the air, and without missing any of his stride,

846
00:54:35.559 --> 00:54:37.559
he did a U turn and just sauntered down the

847
00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:42.239
other way, like I want to go down there. And

848
00:54:42.320 --> 00:54:45.960
I've heard about him easily killing black pears, but I

849
00:54:46.039 --> 00:54:50.280
LOSTO heard them killing and breaking the necks of grizzlies.

850
00:54:51.599 --> 00:54:57.239
So as fast as they are, as strong as they are,

851
00:54:58.480 --> 00:55:02.320
there's no match for them. But the speed is just

852
00:55:02.840 --> 00:55:04.800
it's just funny. When I talk to the guy in Florida,

853
00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:07.679
he said, that's what we say down here. It's psychotic

854
00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:09.920
speed and I said, man, you hit it right on

855
00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:14.320
the right on the nail head. Because I've said ungodly

856
00:55:14.400 --> 00:55:16.760
a lot. It's like that, just don't quite get it.

857
00:55:17.760 --> 00:55:21.840
Are super fast and nothing reaches me like psycho speed

858
00:55:21.920 --> 00:55:26.679
does because it's Another guy said that it reminds him

859
00:55:27.119 --> 00:55:31.400
of back in the black and white movie days of

860
00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:36.639
Dracula when the used have Friday night fright videos on

861
00:55:36.840 --> 00:55:41.400
different characters like that that you would see a you

862
00:55:41.440 --> 00:55:44.719
would see Dracula and then so he would disappear and

863
00:55:44.719 --> 00:55:48.719
then reappear split second thirty feet away. He said, it's

864
00:55:48.800 --> 00:55:52.519
kind of like that, like they just not vanish and reappear,

865
00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:54.960
but they move so fast. It's almost like that. But

866
00:55:55.039 --> 00:56:01.000
I agree that it's just the word psych it go

867
00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:07.000
just just grabs me where it needs. Characteristically, their their

868
00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:07.920
speed is like that.

869
00:56:11.360 --> 00:56:17.679
Those are some really interesting ways to describe it, and

870
00:56:18.480 --> 00:56:21.239
I think those are new ones to this show. Thank

871
00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:24.440
you for Thank you for digging deep. Those are pretty cool.

872
00:56:24.960 --> 00:56:25.480
Uh.

873
00:56:25.599 --> 00:56:28.440
I want to clarify something about your your sightings that

874
00:56:28.519 --> 00:56:32.960
you've had. Was there ever a time where you were

875
00:56:33.000 --> 00:56:37.840
able to see any any details of the face or

876
00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:38.880
anything like that.

877
00:56:40.679 --> 00:56:43.880
No, I wish there was, but I was never. They

878
00:56:43.880 --> 00:56:46.320
were never moving slow enough or it was too dark,

879
00:56:46.360 --> 00:56:49.599
and I wasn't close enough to actually see that. I've

880
00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:52.679
seen the faces from profile, and the one on all

881
00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:55.199
fours running towards me. I could tell his face was gray,

882
00:56:55.840 --> 00:56:59.679
but I couldn't see detail. And again I wouldn't wear

883
00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:07.639
my lie said that night, either right makes sense? Is uh?

884
00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:14.079
So what you had seen at different times? You know

885
00:57:14.159 --> 00:57:18.159
after Let's say you see the Patterson Gimblin film or

886
00:57:18.199 --> 00:57:22.119
the Patty film, is it was it similar at all

887
00:57:22.159 --> 00:57:26.880
to that? Or make completely different from what you saw.

888
00:57:28.239 --> 00:57:31.760
Now? The one on all fours would have been her size,

889
00:57:32.639 --> 00:57:38.840
just a huge barrel with limbs, running towards me. The

890
00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:41.840
one that made a let when I saw him turn

891
00:57:42.079 --> 00:57:46.079
and walk away, he was that big. Also, the red

892
00:57:46.119 --> 00:57:48.039
when I saw run across the road and jumped the

893
00:57:48.079 --> 00:57:54.159
six foot fence, was smaller, and he might have been

894
00:57:54.199 --> 00:57:57.320
a six footer. He just wasn't one of those mega

895
00:57:57.400 --> 00:58:00.760
huge ones. He wouldn't even as thick as them, but

896
00:58:00.840 --> 00:58:05.639
he was at least six feet I'd say the white

897
00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:08.000
one that on my very first sighting, he had to

898
00:58:08.039 --> 00:58:12.440
be at least seven feet tall, maybe more. It was

899
00:58:12.480 --> 00:58:17.440
such a quick sighting and my first one. I could

900
00:58:17.440 --> 00:58:19.639
only compare it to him being able to look in

901
00:58:19.719 --> 00:58:23.079
my truck without stepping up. We could be eye to

902
00:58:23.159 --> 00:58:26.599
eye with me sitting in the seat. So he might

903
00:58:26.599 --> 00:58:30.519
have been a little more than seven feet. And the

904
00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:32.119
white one that was way out in the pastor I

905
00:58:32.119 --> 00:58:35.320
couldn't tell, but he was he was pretty thick. I

906
00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:38.400
could tell he wasn't just tall and skinny because he

907
00:58:38.519 --> 00:58:40.239
was standing there and I could see him for a

908
00:58:40.239 --> 00:58:42.320
few seconds as my life went past him.

909
00:58:46.400 --> 00:58:52.000
Do you think, let's say, man, I mean, there's something

910
00:58:52.039 --> 00:58:55.039
that could rock the entire truck. That's that's big, that's

911
00:58:55.079 --> 00:58:56.960
a lot of force. Do you think they could have

912
00:58:57.039 --> 00:59:01.559
actually gotten inside the truck if they wanted to easily.

913
00:59:02.159 --> 00:59:04.760
I think with the limbs and trees that they break,

914
00:59:05.519 --> 00:59:09.320
if they really wanted me, it's so amazing that they

915
00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:15.880
aren't more. I mean, they could eat if they wanted to,

916
00:59:15.880 --> 00:59:18.880
They could be as violent and wipe us out. I

917
00:59:18.920 --> 00:59:22.679
believe if I drove past that one that was standing

918
00:59:22.719 --> 00:59:28.079
there and it turned and walked away, never know any

919
00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:31.000
was there, if he wanted to, he would have easily

920
00:59:32.280 --> 00:59:34.480
snatched the door off my truck and snatched me out

921
00:59:34.480 --> 00:59:36.599
if he wanted to. I have no doubt about that.

922
00:59:37.360 --> 00:59:41.760
As strong as they are, and as we're almost feeble

923
00:59:41.800 --> 00:59:48.960
compared to them, there's nothing we have physically to outmatch them,

924
00:59:49.199 --> 00:59:52.159
and their strength is really ungodly I can use the

925
00:59:52.159 --> 00:59:52.639
word for that.

926
00:59:55.079 --> 00:59:58.280
You know, it makes me, It makes me wonder and man,

927
00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:01.440
if you could only get in side their heads and

928
01:00:02.400 --> 01:00:05.320
know what they think. When all of a sudden, out

929
01:00:05.320 --> 01:00:11.280
of the darkness, this massive truck comes flying out of nowhere.

930
01:00:12.039 --> 01:00:14.800
It's like, do they know it's it's a vehicle like

931
01:00:14.920 --> 01:00:19.199
a little you know, but well, a little super outback

932
01:00:19.320 --> 01:00:21.960
or something like that is a totally different vehicle as

933
01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:24.960
opposed to a huge, you know, truck you're driving. And

934
01:00:25.039 --> 01:00:29.400
I wonder if they man it would be it would

935
01:00:29.440 --> 01:00:32.159
be fascinating to get inside their head for a few

936
01:00:32.199 --> 01:00:35.559
different reasons. But I wonder if they're looking at a

937
01:00:35.719 --> 01:00:40.719
truck as like a huge enemy or just they're a

938
01:00:40.719 --> 01:00:44.159
where yeah, one of those weird you know, those those

939
01:00:44.239 --> 01:00:47.440
human creatures are in there. They've just you know, decided

940
01:00:47.480 --> 01:00:51.280
they've figured out how to control it's it's one of

941
01:00:51.280 --> 01:00:56.639
those thinking out loud things. But you know, seeing being

942
01:00:56.679 --> 01:01:02.199
able to have multiple sightings was there a thing that

943
01:01:02.920 --> 01:01:06.119
you realize. It's like, as soon as you saw this

944
01:01:06.280 --> 01:01:09.199
one thing about them, or notice the way that they

945
01:01:09.199 --> 01:01:12.800
were they were acting, You're like, oh, it's one hundred percent,

946
01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:18.800
it's a it's another one of these people from the woods.

947
01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:22.679
A certain characteristic.

948
01:01:23.159 --> 01:01:27.000
Yeah.

949
01:01:27.679 --> 01:01:31.320
Well, first of all, the color, because I've only seen

950
01:01:31.480 --> 01:01:34.360
three different colors, and when I see what I think

951
01:01:34.519 --> 01:01:36.599
is is one and it's one of those three color

952
01:01:36.800 --> 01:01:40.880
colors and they're as big as they are from top

953
01:01:40.920 --> 01:01:46.519
to bottom, I think that's no human. There's no there's

954
01:01:46.519 --> 01:01:51.119
no man or woman that big and that thig and

955
01:01:51.280 --> 01:01:54.880
moving that fast, or like the last sight in the

956
01:01:54.880 --> 01:01:59.639
white one, so big and thick, just standing there out

957
01:01:59.719 --> 01:02:05.239
the middle of a pitch black field, the things, just

958
01:02:05.280 --> 01:02:09.960
seeing them move and even standing there, and just the

959
01:02:10.039 --> 01:02:14.800
overall feeling I get from looking at them that I

960
01:02:14.840 --> 01:02:18.800
know that's not a human. In fact, I've seen when

961
01:02:18.800 --> 01:02:21.440
I saw that white one just a few days after that,

962
01:02:21.519 --> 01:02:24.440
there was and I've ever seen this before either when

963
01:02:24.440 --> 01:02:28.239
I made that I continued making that sweep with my headlights,

964
01:02:28.639 --> 01:02:31.199
I made that left turn, but when I got down

965
01:02:31.239 --> 01:02:34.719
to the end of that swamp road to make the left,

966
01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:38.599
there was a couple of this was at midnight. There

967
01:02:38.599 --> 01:02:41.519
were a couple of cars, I mean trucks, pickup trucks

968
01:02:41.840 --> 01:02:46.960
with their headlights on, parked out there in the middle

969
01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:50.679
of the field. And who knows what they were doing

970
01:02:50.719 --> 01:02:56.280
and wine maybe maybe there was something going on with

971
01:02:56.280 --> 01:02:59.760
the cattle or the farm. Animals were found over there.

972
01:03:00.519 --> 01:03:05.960
It makes me wonder a lot, but that was unusual.

973
01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:11.280
But as far as seeing them, that's all I can

974
01:03:11.320 --> 01:03:14.000
say is just their size and the color. I've seen

975
01:03:14.039 --> 01:03:16.320
two black ones, two white ones, and the red one

976
01:03:16.360 --> 01:03:23.280
in the daylight. So anytime I see that right then,

977
01:03:24.760 --> 01:03:27.320
you know, I go right to there they are. There's

978
01:03:27.360 --> 01:03:31.320
another one. But when I saw when I had the

979
01:03:31.320 --> 01:03:33.079
fourth side and across the road in front of me

980
01:03:33.119 --> 01:03:35.639
on all fours, Like I said, I'm just not excited

981
01:03:37.159 --> 01:03:39.199
that much by then, and I just say look at that.

982
01:03:39.320 --> 01:03:44.679
There he goes. Yeah, they don't exist, But there he

983
01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:46.440
goes again, there goes another one.

984
01:03:46.519 --> 01:03:50.559
Rather right, they sure not are out here and they're

985
01:03:50.599 --> 01:03:56.800
all over the place. Yeah, that's funny. Sometimes people report

986
01:03:56.960 --> 01:04:03.559
that they have interactions like this and it will things

987
01:04:03.599 --> 01:04:08.400
will start to manifest at their home. Have has anything

988
01:04:08.480 --> 01:04:11.679
like that ever occurred? After you've had these interactions in

989
01:04:11.719 --> 01:04:12.079
the truck.

990
01:04:13.639 --> 01:04:16.960
No, not at all. And I had been aware of that, yeah,

991
01:04:17.079 --> 01:04:22.440
and hoping that wouldn't happen to me. I've heard about

992
01:04:22.440 --> 01:04:26.840
them attaching themselves in some way like that, and back

993
01:04:26.840 --> 01:04:29.280
when I was wondering all the time, you know, I

994
01:04:29.320 --> 01:04:31.840
think about it every day, especially when I was down there.

995
01:04:32.679 --> 01:04:36.960
I would look in the woods constantly for any movement,

996
01:04:38.039 --> 01:04:46.239
and I had really hoped that they wouldn't let that

997
01:04:46.320 --> 01:04:49.519
happen to me, Like and when I did my speeches,

998
01:04:50.480 --> 01:04:52.960
I call them speeches when I have my little saying

999
01:04:53.119 --> 01:04:55.360
down there before I go to sleep at night too,

1000
01:04:57.039 --> 01:04:58.480
I would say that that would be one of the

1001
01:04:58.519 --> 01:05:03.559
things I would say, is don't go with me, just

1002
01:05:03.800 --> 01:05:05.840
stay where you're at. I'm not here to bother you,

1003
01:05:05.880 --> 01:05:07.719
et cetera, et cetera. I have my own little thing

1004
01:05:07.719 --> 01:05:13.239
that I would say like that. And thankfully, no, nothing

1005
01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:14.039
that ever happened.

1006
01:05:17.719 --> 01:05:21.400
Eric, That's that's a really big detail. I wonder that's

1007
01:05:21.400 --> 01:05:23.519
got to have something to do with it. How how

1008
01:05:23.559 --> 01:05:29.320
you're like, hey, you know, don't cross the boundary, you know,

1009
01:05:29.519 --> 01:05:33.800
please please stay where you are. I honestly think there's

1010
01:05:33.880 --> 01:05:37.880
there's something to what you did, and and how you

1011
01:05:37.960 --> 01:05:44.840
haven't experienced that that that's the super super interesting. It'll

1012
01:05:44.880 --> 01:05:48.519
be interesting to hear if people that listen to this episode.

1013
01:05:49.599 --> 01:05:53.559
I know that we're definitely we're staying vague as to

1014
01:05:53.679 --> 01:05:56.199
the swamp and the hot zone and all that, which

1015
01:05:56.239 --> 01:06:01.599
is more than okay. But I'm sure that some truck

1016
01:06:01.639 --> 01:06:04.360
drivers will probably be like, I know exactly and yeah,

1017
01:06:04.400 --> 01:06:07.480
I've had weird stuff too. If you guys don't want

1018
01:06:07.519 --> 01:06:12.599
to put it in the comments, or you know, not

1019
01:06:12.679 --> 01:06:18.760
putting it out there and being not being a public

1020
01:06:18.760 --> 01:06:21.920
about it, you always can. You can reach out to

1021
01:06:21.960 --> 01:06:24.199
me if if you'd like as well, you send me

1022
01:06:24.239 --> 01:06:27.760
an email Bigfoot Society, gmail dot com. I know there's

1023
01:06:27.760 --> 01:06:31.239
a lot of truck driver stuff happening, but sometimes you

1024
01:06:31.239 --> 01:06:33.280
guys want to stay in the shadows, and that's more

1025
01:06:33.320 --> 01:06:34.119
than okay.

1026
01:06:34.079 --> 01:06:38.320
So that'd be great. And another reason I don't say

1027
01:06:38.360 --> 01:06:43.559
anything about that is not only to keep the general

1028
01:06:43.599 --> 01:06:46.639
public away from it, but it's also there's different group

1029
01:06:46.800 --> 01:06:51.480
groups that have that as a research area. So I

1030
01:06:51.480 --> 01:06:54.400
didn't want to throw it out there for everybody. But

1031
01:06:56.280 --> 01:06:59.920
once I mentioned about Wheterly Park and how we park,

1032
01:07:00.639 --> 01:07:06.119
it probably is an indicator but I had to say

1033
01:07:06.159 --> 01:07:11.079
that because after that first episode of shaking my truck,

1034
01:07:11.159 --> 01:07:14.079
it dissipated. There just weren't many trucks there, if any,

1035
01:07:14.159 --> 01:07:19.119
some nights. So once I started seeing the crowd come back,

1036
01:07:19.199 --> 01:07:22.679
I went back and it took a few weeks. So

1037
01:07:22.760 --> 01:07:26.960
there must be somebody else who've had some experiences down there.

1038
01:07:27.800 --> 01:07:31.199
That's so interesting. Oh this is kind of a weird,

1039
01:07:31.400 --> 01:07:33.639
weird thing, but it just popped in my head. I

1040
01:07:33.639 --> 01:07:35.880
don't know a lot about the trucker life, but I

1041
01:07:35.880 --> 01:07:39.159
know a little bit, mainly what I've pulled from old movies.

1042
01:07:40.480 --> 01:07:43.559
Did you ever reach out? Well, first off, do you

1043
01:07:43.679 --> 01:07:46.760
still have like cbe radios in trucks?

1044
01:07:46.880 --> 01:07:48.840
Yes, okay, I still use them.

1045
01:07:49.239 --> 01:07:51.800
Did you ever reach out when when you're in a

1046
01:07:51.840 --> 01:07:56.000
certain area and be like, Hey, did anyone else experience

1047
01:07:56.119 --> 01:07:59.480
that or just see that or anything like that.

1048
01:08:00.039 --> 01:08:03.800
I never did that. I never did that anymore than

1049
01:08:03.840 --> 01:08:07.159
talking to him in person, even though that would be

1050
01:08:07.239 --> 01:08:10.559
a little more incognito. I still I just got kind

1051
01:08:10.559 --> 01:08:13.280
of the cold shoulder enough that I didn't mention it

1052
01:08:13.280 --> 01:08:19.239
anymore to anybody. And the lead mechanic where I work

1053
01:08:19.560 --> 01:08:23.479
I had mentioned I had mentioned to him that I've

1054
01:08:23.560 --> 01:08:26.760
been shook down there. And he's another one that's kind

1055
01:08:26.760 --> 01:08:28.399
of looking at me strange, but he was a little

1056
01:08:28.399 --> 01:08:30.680
more understanding. He said, well, it is kind of strange

1057
01:08:30.720 --> 01:08:33.000
that in all the years you've been driving, it's never

1058
01:08:33.079 --> 01:08:35.800
happened before, and it only happened down at the swamp.

1059
01:08:36.720 --> 01:08:40.439
He says, Okay, that's a good point right there. And

1060
01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:43.279
another driver was standing close by, and he was one

1061
01:08:43.279 --> 01:08:45.920
of those that was kind of looking like there's nothing

1062
01:08:45.960 --> 01:08:48.760
going on down there. You know, that's what they want

1063
01:08:48.800 --> 01:08:51.520
to believe. That I've experienced it. I'm not going to

1064
01:08:51.800 --> 01:08:54.520
try to convince you. Just go ahead and keep parking

1065
01:08:54.560 --> 01:08:57.640
down there and see if that happens to is how

1066
01:08:57.720 --> 01:09:00.920
I feel about it. I'm not down there anymore now,

1067
01:09:01.319 --> 01:09:04.840
but I know what's there visually and experienced it.

1068
01:09:07.359 --> 01:09:11.560
Eric, this has been just a really fun conversation. Learned

1069
01:09:11.600 --> 01:09:14.800
a lot about don't talk a lot about Florida stuff.

1070
01:09:14.840 --> 01:09:18.439
So I'm glad that you came on. As we as

1071
01:09:18.479 --> 01:09:21.600
we start to wrap up our time, I want to

1072
01:09:21.600 --> 01:09:24.880
make sure that you were able to get everything shared

1073
01:09:24.920 --> 01:09:27.880
that you wanted to share on the show today, and

1074
01:09:27.880 --> 01:09:30.640
there's nothing else that you wanted to make sure you

1075
01:09:30.720 --> 01:09:31.319
got out there.

1076
01:09:32.960 --> 01:09:36.199
Yeah, I think that's it because I just what I

1077
01:09:36.239 --> 01:09:39.279
did was get my notes just for the show. It

1078
01:09:39.319 --> 01:09:42.039
was really easy. I didn't have to really try to

1079
01:09:42.079 --> 01:09:44.560
recall anything. I've got everything right there with the dates

1080
01:09:44.560 --> 01:09:50.239
and times and locations, and so know that that's that's it.

1081
01:09:50.640 --> 01:09:53.319
I've said it all. That's awesome about it.

1082
01:09:53.439 --> 01:09:55.720
That's awesome. Thank you so much for coming on the show.

1083
01:09:55.800 --> 01:09:55.960
Eric.

1085

questions for you, but I just want to say thank
