You got to get up now, something's outside. And my middle child was the fourteen year old. His eyes were so big and like he was up against the wall and couldn't even speak, like he was so freaked out. And uh, anyway, I was trying to be a mother, and I was, I mean, this is going to people are going to be like, well, why'd you do that? But I was thinking, Okay, it's just a bear. You know, there's nothing out there, but we do need to get our garbage. We had garbage right there on the front porch, and I said, just let me grab the garbage real quick, and so I opened the door, trying to just show them how tough I was. And as I opened the door, there was nothing there, but I just it doesn't smell anything.

1:16 There was nothing there. I just grabbed the garbage shut the door. So that was pretty much the end of the encounter. Josh I wish he would come on here and tell you because he had, and tell you exactly what they saw. Joshua, you will you come on here and I can get off. See if he answers. But I think they had it like a sighting. Joshua, Oh there is. How are you doing. Hey, I'm doing all right. Thanks for coming up. I appreciate that, no problem. So yeah, I'm I'm the oldest of the two knucklehead.

2:01 Kids of three of the two knucklehead boys. Okay, go ahead. Yeah, So pretty much like you recall how she said that, like they like walk down the trail like the road, and like you know, they thought that we were following them pretty much like you know, like it was like, you know, we're all gone there for I mean, me and my brother were gone for probably about twenty fifteen to twenty minutes, and I'd say that they are gone like probably about forty five minutes. Right on a walk. Yeah, and me and my brother like we never caught up to them, so like we were never like messing with them directly like how she's describing it. So that was never us. But when we like went to try to catch up to them, like we were noticing like just you know, like I don't know, like little things were just like noticing, like it felt like we're being watched, like for lack of a better word, Okay, And then we went back to the campsite like or to the cabin, you know, like she described, and we're already there, and she was like saying like that we were messing with them, and we're like, no, we never were, like you know what I mean, Like we initially, yes, we're trying to catch up to you, but we never even got that far, you know. And so then yes, like she said, like

3:36 the night rolled on, and you know, like we're just like out around the campfire and like talking about like Bigfoot and this and that, like you know, it was kind of brought up anyways, because like the whole experience that happened before that was just kind of like didn't make sense like logistically, you know, So like me and my brother yes, we're like being young kids and like messing with my mom and like start like picked up a log and started smacking like oh, it's bigfoot, and start smacking on the tree and yes, it starts smacking back, like what are it or whatever, like started smacking back and howling back like there was a howl and yes.

4:18 And this is after we went to bed. No, this is before that. Oh yeah, we're like being provoking at this point right right, so like you know, like we're messing with you, like taunting you pretty much, like being provoking like like oh and like like you're describing me for like it kept getting closer, like because we kept being taunting pretty much and smacking the tree like because like you know, we did it the first time, and it wasn't like a direct answer. Like sometimes it would be a direct answer, like as in like it would happen within like thirty seconds, and then other times it would be like other times it'd be like fifteen minutes would pass and it'd be like all of a sudden, it closer, but it would like answer back. Yeah, and like it was like freaking us out and spooking us and again like I'm not trying to sound weird. This is just my experience. I'm just saying, right, so it would get closer and then like it just time would pass and everything and then yeah, they like the parents went to bed and me and Cody were still up, Like me and my brother were just still up talking and we weren't doing any of that anymore. But what she's describing like when we went and woke her up was we were just sitting around the campfire like again, not like we're not like being loud, like provoking anymore or nothing like that.

5:47 I think there's also some things that I could I could say that from a point the lot of people. I've heard people say that bigfoot if it's a demon, and it's this and that. As a I don't really good bye the word exporsist. I'm not a Catholic priest, but I do operate and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I've never seen a big foot in the spirit realm at all, but in or praying or casting anything off of someone. But in I think it was nineteen ninety eight, ninety nine. It was late in the year I we we have a main route and a back road that cuts towards my house and I probably lived probably about fifteen minutes twenty minutes away from this, and I took this little road and it's it's a kind of like one of them roads where there would be grass in the middle of it, like a back road. And I live in Ohio, so I'm going out this road. Back then there used to be a lot of partying off to this pull off spot on that road. It's not not well trained. But I started getting creeped out, and we're on that road and I thought, well, my brother, it's not from far from my parents' house. My brother logged a place there and they made a pull off spot on the left side of the road. And as I got down this big hill, I pulled into that

7:17 pull off spot because I want to get off that road. I mean, I am creeped out. I don't know why, but when I pulled in to that spot, my lights are shining literally on a big foot. There was two miles of dirt on each side of what it would have been a road up in there, but they kind of blocked off with two milons of dirt a big log. The log was probably about i'd say, if you wrap the measurement tape around it, probably about two feet. This thing was every bit of seven to eight and a half feet tall. Its arms were four feet long. It was covered in black hair and it wet black. I noticed there is nothing stuck in it, like any weeds or anything sticks like where laid down. It literally looked beautiful and terrifying. Its face looked like a gorilla. It didn't now it was offset from my car, a little bit more towards the passenger side headlight, but on the other side of the man. It is probably about six feet seven feet away from car. It didn't turn its head to look down at me. Now I could see it glare and I was watching it breathe. It looked like it literally looked like a gorilla in the face, and man it was. It was massive. Literally, its arm had to be four feet long. You'd see the muscle toned through its arm, through its forearm wrap around. I

8:52 had a buddy that got out of prison years ago, and he had the same muscle. I've never seen it on a lot of people, but it was the same muscle wrapped around it. But this was long. It's a it's uh. It's elbow to wrist ratio was as about as long as it's shoulder to elbow ratio. It's how how how our wrist is comes down narrow and our hand gets wider. Not so much with that thing. I'm glad I've seen it, but I don't ever want to see it again. Uh, I had issues with I couldn't go, honey, I didn't want I don't like tree lines. I don't like tree lines at all. I don't want to be around tree lines. My wife has a hot tub. When we, you know, started seeing each other, we got in a hot tub, and I don't like that. I mean, we probably got one hundred hundred yards away from our few from our trailer. Uh, there's a there's a woodline. I just feel uncomfortable. Man, I'm just uncomfortable with it still.

10:04 And if I ever do go hunting, which I don't anymore, i'd use a high powered rifle. And I literally it's odd that I see you because my my friend, he's a lawyer, and he never seen one. He brought up to me earlier about me telling him that story. Now he's never seen one, but he knows. I, you know, I'm telling him the truth. But I've seen the guy from a house of a thousand corpses in a comic con, and this thing was bigger than him. I mean it was so that guy was six foot ten. Ok. Wow, So I'm gonna say probably about maybe seven six to eight and a half feet tall. Well, I didn't tell nobody for a long time because you know, that's bigfoot.

10:49 Wasn't the saying that's kind of embarrassing and stuff like that. It's like seeing a UFO and you know, I've seen a lot of weird stuff in my life, but that one, that was a rough one.
