1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.080
It would stay right outside of the
light, and a blue tick hound would

2
00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:11.119
go behind my house down in a
ravine and bark like you had treat something

3
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:17.239
most every night for about three months. Okay, this happens. I heard

4
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:21.640
something scream one night I'm setting up
in year around two o'clock in the morning,

5
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.600
I heard something scream like I've never
heard in my life, and hit

6
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.960
rattled my body and I was fifty
yards away from the those insideing houses and

7
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:36.240
it shared my neighbors who live about
five hundred yards behind me. It scared

8
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:40.880
them so bad that they jumped in
their car and level and I come outside

9
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.320
after I heard a scream, and
I saw them coming down the road in

10
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.880
their vehicle and they didn't come back
to them next day. I've never talked

11
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:58.000
to them about it or anything.
All right, big faciad, I've got

12
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:03.640
the privilege of talking to a gentleman
that reached out to me after the last

13
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.599
episode was posted up on the big
Foot Society YouTube channel, and he was

14
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:14.359
commenting even before the video had premiered. And this was the episode where I

15
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:22.640
talked to John Burton about North Carolina, Alabama. And this gentleman's name is

16
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.560
Mark Paul from Clay County, Tennessee. How's it going tonight, Mark,

17
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:32.159
It's going fine, Jeremiah, thank
you for asking. It's a very mild

18
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.159
night. We had a storm roll
through early on. It's cooled down the

19
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:40.040
temperatures and it's very mild tonight.
Awesome. Awesome. You are down there

20
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:48.079
in kind of the middle central area
of Tennessee. Is that correct? Yes?

21
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:56.040
I am in northeastern Tennessee and bordered
four counties. There's four counties within

22
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.359
about ten minutes of me and I
kind of live in a triangle area.

23
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:07.759
And these happenings went on three years, and we didn't know what it was.

24
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:13.759
We just wrote it off with something
else. We just ignored it.

25
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.599
I moved here and me and my
wife we bought this place here in nineteen

26
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:23.120
ninety six, and there was and
we were just so naive. We didn't

27
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:28.879
know anything about big foot. And
I haven't known anything about big Foot till

28
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:34.199
this winter. I've never done any
studying on it, or never pursued it

29
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.719
or I always I'm a type of
guy. I always try to say it's

30
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.599
something else, it's doing these things. I always tried to write it off

31
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:47.800
until it became so obvious, these
creatures. They want me to know what

32
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:54.120
they're here. And being my wife, we bought this place and like I

33
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.680
said, in ninety six and after
that, things started to slap the side

34
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.960
of our house and we thought for
years it was birds flying into the side

35
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.719
of the house, and they occurred
quite often, and we ignored it.

36
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:12.800
Like I said, this went on
for years because we never had a dog

37
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.879
or a cat. Then in two
thousand and eight, I went outside in

38
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.039
the backyard. I had four wheelers. I dear hunted. We raised goats,

39
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.080
and I've always worked and I was
in the army for quite a few

40
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:28.319
years in the National Guard, and
I was out in the backyard all the

41
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:32.840
time doing something. I've always been
a high strung personality. And I heard

42
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:40.360
tree knocks and this was around ten
thousand and eight, and I just wrote

43
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:46.680
it off with somebody down in the
woods knocking on wood. I just wrote

44
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.319
it off with somebody doing it.
Never thought no more about it. This

45
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.080
went on for a while. I
hunted till I was fifty five, and

46
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:59.120
I've quit hunting now. But it's
lott interesting it now. All my life

47
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.280
I've been in the woods. I
never saw one, of course, I've

48
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.080
never looked for him. Like I
said, Jeremiah, I'm pretty naive to

49
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:12.319
these things. I've heard stories years
ago. There was some sightings in Tennessee

50
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:17.680
in nineteen seventy four when I was
a teenager. I never saw anything unusual

51
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:24.560
in the woods, and I've never
been afraid of the dark. My male

52
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:30.360
retired disabled neighbor had a dog and
it was all the time dragging deerbones into

53
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:36.160
his backyard. He passed on in
two thousand nineteen. Then I started working

54
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:42.560
and staying out of town in two
thousand seventeen and the fall of ten thousand,

55
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.879
twenty two December, this passed flaw. Things started to get crazy.

56
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:53.160
First, my dog would go out
to the end of the diveway back and

57
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.279
forth. We're up on her hind
legs trying to buy something. And every

58
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:03.000
morning it's just like clockwork around one
o'clock. And I'd watch it outside of

59
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.160
my living room window. And this
thing, it wouldn't show itself. It

60
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:13.279
would stay right outside of the light, and a blue tick hound would go

61
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:18.120
behind my house down in a ravine
and bark like she'd treat something. Most

62
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:25.600
every night for about three months.
Ohkay, this happened I heard something scream

63
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.759
one night I was setting up in
here around two o'clock in the morning,

64
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.120
I heard something scream like I've never
heard in my life, and hit rattle

65
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:35.519
in my body, and I was
fifty yards away from it. I was

66
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:40.519
inside in the house, and it
scared my neighbors, who lived about five

67
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:45.040
hundred yards behind me. It scared
them so bad that they jumped in their

68
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.680
car and left, and I come
outside after I heard it scream, and

69
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:53.199
I saw them coming down the road
in their vehicle, and they didn't come

70
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:57.279
back till the next day. I've
never talked to them about it or anything.

71
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.680
I've always been quiet about this.
I don't tell my business, and

72
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:05.560
most certainly not this because people don't
won't believe you. So my men,

73
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:10.000
girlfriend, we just keep it to
ourselves now. I was outside on my

74
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:15.600
front porch after this, after it
screened. After there. For years they

75
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.680
have been looking into my windows all
them times I didn't have a dog when

76
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:27.680
I didn't know and there it are
getting bolder and they want me to know

77
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:32.399
they're here. They loved sneaking around
after midnight to see what's going on.

78
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:39.600
Three weeks ago, one brought the
back leg of a cow and placed it

79
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:44.560
on the edge of my backyard.
After being off work. I've had time.

80
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.759
I think they've done that for a
gift of some sort of an other

81
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:50.759
gros after I've been doing a little
studying since this winter. I've heard that

82
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:56.720
they do things like that after being
off work. I've had time to study

83
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.879
and figure out what is actually going
on around here. Because I worked out

84
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.519
of town, i wasn't home just
on the weekends. Now I'm semi retired

85
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.439
and I've got time to put all
the pieces of the puzzle together. I

86
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:14.319
noticed two days where one had crossed
my fence in three different places, or

87
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:16.879
something that crossed it. You didn't
leave any horror, but my fence was

88
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.000
messed up in three different places.
They've been watching me for years, and

89
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:25.959
apparently they liked me. Me and
my girlfriend were talking the other day around

90
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.079
noon and the rock hit the backside
of my house. My neighbors shot at

91
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.959
one back in mid January. She
had been putting dog feed on her back

92
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:41.519
porch for every dog in the neighborhood, and she said around it nine pm

93
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:45.720
we heard the shot. She said, around nine pm she saw a huge

94
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:49.639
black looking creature come walking down the
side of her house. Going to get

95
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:55.920
dog food. She opened the door
and shot at it. Scared her half

96
00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:01.040
to death. It terrified this lady. She's still terrified of and she said

97
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.040
it cleared a pass over the hill, breaking brush when she shot at it.

98
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.079
Back in early February, I was
picking up tree limbs and my cow

99
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:16.199
pasture and found where something had been
laid. The bed was nine feet long

100
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:24.399
and four foot across. I think
it was a nun bush position because it

101
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.759
was on the edge of my yard, and I never thought to take a

102
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:33.840
picture of it because I was just
so overwhelmed a by it. Jeremiah,

103
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.279
you have to understand, there's a
creek behind my house and these deer.

104
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:45.879
My farm is covered up with deer
and turkeys, and these creatures obviously come

105
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.399
out and they hunt these deer.
And there's a fresh stream behind the house.

106
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:56.399
There's all kinds of hardwood timbers,
cedar, thickets, and I'll get

107
00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.720
to that later. Though. These, like I said, these creatures have

108
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.559
watched me for a long time without
me being aware of them. The creature

109
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.960
moves from behind my house across the
road and hangs out behind my neighbor's house.

110
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.559
I told her to stop putting out
dog boot. Back in twenty fourteen

111
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:18.759
or fifteen, during Dear season,
I walked across the road at four or

112
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.480
thirty am to settle down in my
hunting spot. I heard something walking about

113
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:28.559
thirty yards from me, going away
from me, and it was making quite

114
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.080
a bit of a bracket and could
he's opened up at this thing that was

115
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:39.720
walking And I heard a coudy someone
hid it in the head or just a

116
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.399
death lick. It was a death
blow. Everything went quiet and I got

117
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:50.320
out of there. These creatures don't
even steered me. These creatures don't intend

118
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.440
to hurt no one, I believe. But if you if you threaten them

119
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.279
or rend her up or honey,
you will know about it. Every night

120
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:03.879
now they are it comes out behind
my house. I pray they move on

121
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.919
and leave me alone. I'm not
afraid of them, but I want to

122
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.200
be left alone. They are starting
to keep me off a little. They're

123
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.720
starting to get under my skin because
it's every night thing. I understand.

124
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:22.200
They don't want to be seen,
but they want people to acknowledge them.

125
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.080
I never knew anything about a big
foot until I watched an episode of one

126
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.519
of your episodes. I started putting
the pieces of the puzzle together, and

127
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:41.799
what I found out it is quite
disturbing. Now. Apparently they loved to

128
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.039
deer hunt on my farm, which
is covered up with deer, like I

129
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:46.679
said, and turkeys, and like
I said, a fresh creek runs behind

130
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.320
my house. Jeremiah, they're seater
and hard timber back throw. These creatures

131
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.799
don't like to be disturbed during the
night because they're trying to hunt. Three

132
00:10:54.879 --> 00:11:00.720
nights ago, I was on my
front porch watching YouTube. At nine pm,

133
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:05.159
I heard a large tree crack and
break and fall into the ground.

134
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.919
And it did just twice, not
once, but twice, back to back.

135
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:15.360
And it's happened night before last.
It made a large noise and dogs

136
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.679
went crazy. And around two am. That's the same night in the morning,

137
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.000
at two am, my girlfriend got
up to smoke. Well on he

138
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.039
leaves the bathroom light on so we
can look out, well, look out

139
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.519
of her windows of the night,
and you can see anything that's on her

140
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:31.879
place out here in the yard.
I got a four or four acre front

141
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:37.159
yard. And she said, as
soon as she put her phone in the

142
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:43.919
living room window, something slapped the
end of the house really loud and hard.

143
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.440
Our dog immediately jumped up and jumped
on it's fighting it. It ran

144
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.159
off. My neighbor got up.
It woke her up, and she went

145
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.399
outside to hear my dogs fighting.
She said she'd never heard a dog fight

146
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.879
like that. The next day,
my dog went around all morning with her

147
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.639
heads straight up in the air,
kind to smell this creature. I noticed

148
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.879
it right off. She was still
kind to see if it was around here,

149
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:11.399
and she'd walk away around the house
with a nose straight up in the

150
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:20.960
air, snippy. Then these dogs, they barked a long time for three

151
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.799
months, but once they saw this
thing, they don't want to have anything

152
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.799
else to do with. They used
to carry on the fighting, and my

153
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.519
dog still does. But my neighbor's
blue tick hound and a couple of other

154
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:37.519
dogs they go in the house,
they won't carry on. They don't carry

155
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:46.080
on the germ id like they used
to. I have also saw apples with

156
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.600
something's teeth marks in them, but
I've never saw before. I've got an

157
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.600
orchard over here on my place I
put out over twenty years ago. They

158
00:12:54.600 --> 00:13:00.000
would take a bite and throw it
down and get another one. The food

159
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.799
is here, the cover is here, and water. This year I hope

160
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.519
and pray that I don't have to
move. I would most certainly hope nobody

161
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.559
comes and makes them mad, because
they would probably take out their anger on

162
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:18.039
me. Big Foot's past time.
I think they loved sneaking around houses at

163
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.679
night and looking in windows, especially
if you don't have a dog. These

164
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:28.080
creatures watched me practically every day and
know my routine. One night last December,

165
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.559
I was sitting on my front porch
watching videos and the creatures slapped on

166
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.960
the back of the house while I
was sitting on the front porch. The

167
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:39.360
slap was so hard it knocked items
off my kitchen table. I jumped up

168
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.519
and ran around the back and there
was nothing now. So these creatures are

169
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.440
very bold, and it's like playing
jokes on people. It's like they think

170
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:54.159
it's the game. That's my pinion. It wanted me inside the house so

171
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.240
it could deer hunt. I think
that's why, Jeremiah, I think that's

172
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.840
why they don't like me. I
hear but iight on my phones because there's

173
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.639
a lot of deer around here,
and they deer hunt I here on my

174
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:13.559
place. The large amounts of deer
leaves the forest at night to come out

175
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.080
and grazing my four acre front yard
late at night. I was apparently staring

176
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:26.399
the deer off. The more things
to tell you too, I want no

177
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:31.679
part of looking for these things,
going into the woods trying to see one.

178
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.320
They want to be left alone.
I think they two are trying to

179
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:41.080
survive and don't like people looking for
them in the night. The night is

180
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:46.200
when they hunt. Oh yes.
In late January early February, I was

181
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:52.559
standing on my front deck in County
seventeen deer running for their life. They

182
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:58.200
were coming from behind my house and
running across my four acre front yard.

183
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.639
They were terrified and you could see
it in their faces. One looks like

184
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.559
a twelve point. They were running
and jumping behind the air twos and threes

185
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:13.279
at a time. These creatures are
opportunistic. They will get food anytime they

186
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:18.360
can find it. Also, there
is not a lot of coats around my

187
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.240
house, and I think I know
why because they keep them ten down they

188
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:28.080
eat coadies. I do believe that
I have a lot of fruit trees,

189
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.600
including pie of apple, plums and
mulberries. Last fall I went back to

190
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:37.440
get the upper part of my pear
trees. I took a ladder with me

191
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:41.240
and I just gathered something the day
before and I went back the next day

192
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:46.399
to get them. They were all
gone, every single one, not one

193
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.480
pier was left in Margard. And
like I said, you'd have to take

194
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:52.600
a ladder Jeremiah to get up there
to get them, or stand in the

195
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:58.919
back of a pickup truck. Also, half a mile from my house isn't

196
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.240
apple orchards. There's a big apple
orchard, apple mill, and behind my

197
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:08.279
house, and these creatures love fruit. I thought that squirrels did it,

198
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:14.679
but for other study. Now,
after everything that's been going on throughout the

199
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:19.600
winter, and it's late spring,
it's NonStop. It's basically every night that

200
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:27.240
came out last night, and I
just I've tried to write these things off

201
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:33.720
so many times today can't no more. And to be honest with you,

202
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:37.200
I hope I never see one because
from what I've heard from other people on

203
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:42.360
your show, they it changes their
life forever. They're never the same.

204
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:45.519
It's scared of I'm not scared to
go in the woods. I'm not afraid

205
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.720
of than that. But from what
I've heard other people there, I say

206
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:53.960
on your show, once you see
one of these things, you never want

207
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.960
to go back in the woods again, and I hope and pray that never

208
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:07.400
happens. And it's funny I said
once that you have groups in which I

209
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.559
think every man to each of your
own. I don't judge people, I

210
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.519
don't talk about people. I'm a
longer type guy, Jeremiah. I stayed

211
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:19.680
to myself. I don't get out
to socialize. I did back in my

212
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:23.920
younger days, but as I've gotten
older, sixty down sixty and a half,

213
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.359
I just pretty much stayed to myself. I'm semi retired, and back

214
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:32.079
when I used to drive two hundred
and twenty miles a day to working back,

215
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:34.400
I used to drive them where I
lived in Murphy's for im back two

216
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:40.359
hundred twenty miles running trip, and
I never had time to get involved like

217
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:44.039
I am now to actually figure out
what was going on around here because I

218
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:47.400
never was home. I first lived
down there, and then I just started

219
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:51.119
driving back and forth after about three
years. And like I said, I'm

220
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:56.839
semi retired down and now I'm here
and I can put all these puzzles together.

221
00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.799
But for years and years I just
rold them off as something else.

222
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.720
I didn't know anything about big Foot. But it's got to the point now

223
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.160
the world. They're getting boulder and
bolder all the time, and I think

224
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.680
they want me to know they're here, and I don't bother them. And

225
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.200
so far they've not bothered me.
But they are here, my neighbor,

226
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:23.480
it should be very scared. She's
been scared ever since this past winter,

227
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:30.480
ever since she shot at when she
actually saw the outline and the black hair

228
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.759
on it walked by her window and
she jumped up and got a gun real

229
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:40.680
quick and opened the front doors.
She caught out at it, and she

230
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:45.759
said it made a loud Noah's going
over the hill breaking brush. I hope

231
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:51.160
I never have to shoot at one. I mean, so far these creatures

232
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:52.799
have left me alone. But it's
an ever night thing. It's a never

233
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.839
And what kills me is you've got
people going out and looking for them,

234
00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.839
and I'm trying to get rid of
them. I hope they move on.

235
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.920
I hope I never hear another one
or never have another slap on the house.

236
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.599
And like I said, they're in
the fruit. They don't seem to

237
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:11.119
be hurting nothing. But like I
said, I found the bed. I

238
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:14.759
was going to my mailbox back in
the winter. Fabruaries in Lake February,

239
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:21.440
and I saw a bed outsire from
my driveway, and I think this thing

240
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:25.000
was lading there of a night,
because large amounts of deer come into my

241
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:30.240
yard every night and these big foot
hunt them. And I believe was everything

242
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.640
in me jeremized that this thing was
lading there in that bush position where he

243
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.799
could jump on the deer. And
so me and my girlfriend come back in

244
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.960
the house and I got a measuring
stick commasuing tape, and it was nine

245
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:49.599
foot long by four foot across,
and so I was so disturbed by it

246
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:55.279
that I forgot to take a picture
of it. A picture was never even

247
00:19:55.400 --> 00:20:00.720
entered my mind to take a picture
of And I still get out in the

248
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:06.720
woods behind my house and stuff,
and I've never seen where they've made any

249
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:11.839
little lean twos or little places to
lay in. I've never seen anything like

250
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:14.880
that. In my entire life.
I've hunted in the woods, and I

251
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:18.480
just lost interest in hunting. You
know, I can I can afford to

252
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.279
buy my food. And as long
as I can afford to buy my food,

253
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:25.359
I'm not want to kill a deer, but I'll kill many deers and

254
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:30.799
many turkeys over my life, and
grouse and stuff like that Quail rabbits,

255
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:36.400
but it's a never night occurrence at
my house. Mark. I got a

256
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:40.240
few questions for you if you don't
mind. As you can imagine, this

257
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:45.559
is an incredible thing that you're going
through. And to be honest, it

258
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:51.480
doesn't sound that fun. I wish
it ain't. I wished it wouldn't true.

259
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:53.240
I wished I wouldn't talking to you
right now about it. But since

260
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:59.079
these other people have come forward.
But see people in my very tight circle,

261
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:02.559
which is a few family and a
few close lifelong prince, I don't

262
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:04.720
even mention it to them because I
don't want them to think I'm cracking up.

263
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:12.720
The market is going to ask you, why why come out in the

264
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:21.079
open with this now if you've been
not talking about it all these years?

265
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.960
Because I want other people to know
that they're real, and other people have

266
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:33.480
come forward. And another reason I
think there's more now than they was back

267
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.799
when I was growing up, Jeremiah
is see, they restocked deer in the

268
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.079
eastern United States and the sixties,
they brought the turkeys in here in the

269
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:48.720
eighties, and they've actually stopped stout. They've restocked elk all through eastern Northeastern

270
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:55.720
Kentucky and eastern Tennessee also has a
huge elk population now. And I think

271
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:59.200
the reason that people are seeing more
big footing now is because of the food

272
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:02.960
supply. There's more food now than
they was back then forty years ago.

273
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.160
There's dear everywhere. You can't want
to drive a car where I live without

274
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:12.960
hidden And like I said, I
just I just come forward because I think

275
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:17.119
other people need to know about it. I think other people need to know

276
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.640
as much as they can about these
scriptures. That's why I came forward.

277
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:23.039
Other people need to know the same
things are either. But now I don't

278
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.519
think them. Ain't nobody any harm
unless you caught, you know, a

279
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:33.160
harm them because so far they've just
been playing games with me. And they

280
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:38.240
know that I know they're here,
and they tried for years to get me,

281
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:41.920
but to realize that they were here, but I ignore them for over

282
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:48.000
twenty years. Exactly how big is
the land that you have there? Mark?

283
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:53.440
How much land I've got? The
fourteen point nine acres? Wow?

284
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:57.759
As will say, fifth rounded off
the fifteen acres. And there's wilderness out

285
00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:02.279
here, Jeremiah. People don't hunt
like they use too. That's another thing

286
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:04.200
too. I need to bring up. Back when I was growing up,

287
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:08.279
everybody carried a gun and the back
of the truck visible to everybody to see.

288
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:12.119
People had gun racks in the back
of their vehicles, ours, and

289
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:15.640
trucks. A lot of people hunted
back when I was growing up, through

290
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:21.240
the sixty seventies, eighties, and
then in the nineties people started I noticed

291
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:25.799
a trend that people quit hunting as
much as the new generation came home.

292
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.920
They got into computers, and their
family never taught them about guns and hunting,

293
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:33.640
and they got into computers, and
they quit going into the outdoors.

294
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:40.319
And with a great food supply,
these animals have just exploded because there's people

295
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:42.240
saying these things though, And like
I said, I pray I never see

296
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:45.359
one. I don't want to see, and I'm most certainly not going to

297
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:51.519
be out hunting for one. But
I pray that the lord against me is

298
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:53.680
that wish that I never have to
see one, because I don't want to

299
00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:56.599
be changed. I don't want to
be terrified to go out in the woods

300
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:00.880
anymore. But I know they're here. I know that my neighbor knows they're

301
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:06.599
here, and she's quite scared.
She's quite scared. It sounds like your

302
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:12.640
neighbor was intensely affected. Who can
blame them? Oh yeah, in her

303
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:18.200
sites and she took a shot at
it. That's incredible, Yes she did.

304
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:26.680
And it's not retaliated though, because
she was the only neighbor in the

305
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.640
neighborhood that I talked to. She
lives alone. She's sixty seven years old

306
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:34.200
and she's retired, and a lot
of people have moved into Tennessee over the

307
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:38.119
past years. This place. When
I moved here Jeremiah twenty six years ago,

308
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:42.960
this place was a wild still quite
a bit wilderness. You can't get

309
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.400
lost out here, while I of
them not even dry you get off in

310
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:51.440
the woods. But when I first
moved here, this place was like Mutual

311
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:57.200
of all my Haw's wild kingdom.
Yeah nice, you see, Dear twenty

312
00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:00.759
five and thirty at a time,
herds of wild Turkey with fifty and one

313
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:06.160
hundred years. This place reminded me
of Mutual Obamaha's wild Kingdom. When I

314
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:08.079
first moved here, I couldn't believe
it, and I loved it here because

315
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:11.480
I was always a deer hunter in
my younger years and never did kill a

316
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.119
lot of Dear, will I moved
here, and well, I came home

317
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.359
when I bought this place, and
I've been here ever since. And like

318
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:23.839
I said, I we don't associate
with many people, and especially about something

319
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:27.079
like this, because they look at
you and the dates you're crazy. I'm

320
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:33.119
gonna talk to you anymore. So
I feel comfortable about talking to other people

321
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:38.519
who believe in the same thing,
but to people and people know, I

322
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:42.119
don't lie. I've never I don't
have a criminal record. I've never been

323
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:52.200
in any trouble. I'm religious,
very religious, and remon scriptures basically every

324
00:25:52.240 --> 00:26:00.759
day. But all right, still
being a good citizen. Make you I'll

325
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.359
give you a good example. I'll
give you a good example. You remember

326
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.200
when I told you that I heard
wood docking back in two thousand and eight

327
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.319
behind my house, and I went
on for quite a while, went on

328
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.720
for ten minutes. In fifteen,
there was a logger, a professional lagger

329
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.960
I knew, and I saw him
up at the General Mercantile, a little

330
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:25.519
story that up here where I lived. And I got him outside by himself,

331
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:27.839
and I told him about it,
and he made me a laughing stock.

332
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:32.799
I didn't think he'd ever stopped laughing. And I never opened my mouth

333
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:36.160
again from two thousand and eight to
this night to night i'm talking to you,

334
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:41.160
I'll never opened my mouth again about
it. I told him that's what

335
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:45.680
I thought it was, and he
laughed and laughed, and I think I

336
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:48.039
might have lost a little respect by
telling him that. If I had to

337
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.119
do again, I wouldn't have done
it. But I've never opened my mouth

338
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:56.079
again. Be good. I'm glad
you're sharing tonight, Mark, for sure.

339
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:03.039
You know. It just baffles me
though, that people are out I

340
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.880
don't I think people need to be
careful what they wish for. You've got

341
00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:11.839
people out there kind to find up, trying to get pictures and this,

342
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:15.119
that and the other of these things. These things want to be left alone.

343
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:18.200
And some of these people not buy
off more and they can chew.

344
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.519
I've got them coming out here every
night of the week, and you've got

345
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:25.880
and I wished and prayed that they
move home, and I don't want to

346
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:27.319
see one and I don't want to
have anything to do with them. And

347
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:32.200
you've got people out here it is
looking for. I would never be one

348
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:36.319
of those people. I just I
know they exist, and that's as far

349
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:40.000
as I hope it goes. I
hope, I said, you're hoping every

350
00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:42.079
seam. You're just trying to deal
with it day in and day out.

351
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:48.039
When it slaps your house, when
it slaps your house mark, how high

352
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:52.880
up on the side of the house, did you get an idea when you

353
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:56.400
hear it during eye It wouldn't that
high. It wouldn't like eight or nine

354
00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:00.880
or ten peace high. I would
say, it slaps in my house about

355
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:08.960
maybe by a foot. And the
other night, I'm gonna tell you something,

356
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:15.079
it's scared. It terrified, and
my girlfriend so bad that she would

357
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:19.599
not wake me up, but sets
there and trembled. And when I heard

358
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:25.279
my dog jump on it and was
fighting it out here, I got up

359
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:26.920
and come through the house and listened
to us. I got up and come

360
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:30.079
through the house, and she was
setting in the dark, shaking like a

361
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:40.000
leaf. And this was last night, and why's the ghost? Why is

362
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:44.000
the ghost? And you know she's
a big talker, and we went together

363
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:47.000
for a long time. She's a
big talker, and she was setting in

364
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:49.319
the dark when I got up.
We keep our bathroom light on of the

365
00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:52.880
night where we can see out.
We don't turn our lights on one night

366
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:56.759
because we're like looking out across our
farm here, a little farm, and

367
00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:00.039
we can see anything out You're moving
around, like deer and stuff. And

368
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:04.480
she was setting in the dark with
just the bathroom light on in the living

369
00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:08.640
room. And I walked there and
I go, what's I seem to shaking?

370
00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:11.960
I go, see, I didn't
know what had happened. And I'll

371
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.880
tell something else to you. When
I heard those two trees cracked last night,

372
00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:21.160
the night before I think last couple
of us. When I heard those

373
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.839
two trees crack across the road,
I sitting down here on my front porch

374
00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:30.559
watching the videos, and I heard
two trees cracked back to back. Now,

375
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.680
this is the first time I've ever
heard this in my life. I

376
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:37.720
heard two trees crack across the street
back to back like a like about a

377
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:41.920
four inch diameter tree, my cup
timber myself, so about a four inch

378
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:47.279
diameter tree during mine. It's like
something took it and twisted it. You

379
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:53.799
could hear the fresh green snackling and
cracking, and just a grinding noise and

380
00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:59.559
a bo a loud boom, and
then one right behind the other, two

381
00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:02.960
of them. Okay, I didn't
tell my girlfriend about that because I didn't

382
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:06.160
want to scare her. Okay,
I got up, went in the house,

383
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:08.200
shut the door, locked the door, but I didn't mention it to

384
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:11.480
her. So when I wake up, when I hear my dog, I

385
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:15.880
hear jumping on something, I come
through the house and without her even knowing

386
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:19.400
what happened to me just a few
hours earlier, she was setting under the

387
00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:23.880
dark, checking like a leaf and
whiles a ghost treaming when it slapped on

388
00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:29.319
the end of the house. That's
how loud it was. And that's when

389
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:33.119
she found out what I had experienced
setting on the front deck just a few

390
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:37.839
hours earlier. See, I didn't
want to stare there's things that happened here.

391
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.680
I don't want to stare her out
and say unless I have to,

392
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:44.720
unless I have to tell her.
And then that's when I told her,

393
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:48.079
When when this thing, when she
already was scared about it, that's when

394
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:51.640
I let Lucian told her what was
happened to me just three four hours earlier.

395
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:57.480
You don't want to stare somebody that's
open when you want to put Yeah,

396
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:00.400
you don't want to put it here
and from unless you have no one's

397
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:04.279
choice. And that's when I told
her what happened to me, and I

398
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:08.240
don't think it's scared her any worse
because she was already terrified. And my

399
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:11.640
neighbor lives in there every night.
If you want to know the tracks about

400
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:17.319
it from me, she lives in
far every night. Mark. Have you

401
00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:22.200
seen any tracks around your property at
all? Any weird tracks. I've not

402
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.400
been out really looking for them,
because I don't have to look for tracks

403
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:30.759
because I know they're here. That's
true. I'm not really Jeremiah. Yeah,

404
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:33.759
I don't look for the tracks because
those are here. I don't.

405
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:37.880
I don't have to prove to myself
that it may or may not be these

406
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:41.039
creature because I know it's the creature. So that's why I don't look for

407
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:48.079
tracks or something. All right,
all right, fair enough. You mentioned

408
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:52.960
the one time you heard screams around
two am. Can you describe what those

409
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:59.839
screams sounded like at all. I've
never heard anything like it. It was

410
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:01.960
loud, and this is the only
time I've ever heard of these creatures.

411
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:07.160
These creatures are pretty mild around here. We live them alone. They leave

412
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:15.160
us alone. They don't act up
and carry on a lot unless you agitate

413
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:17.880
them. Now, I can be
out here on my phone and if they

414
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:22.759
want a deer hunt that particular now, they'll start cracking trees and stuff.

415
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:36.759
The scream was like a loud pitch. It was extremely loud, and it

416
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.880
rattled. The echo of it ran
through my body and I speak yards from

417
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:47.480
it inside of the house. So
it was a scream that would most absolutely

418
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:52.119
get you shaken immediately when you heard
it. You would start shaking, Your

419
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:57.839
body would your mind would take over
without you even thinking about it, and

420
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:05.200
you break out into it to tremble. It was a loud, screaming pitch

421
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:07.960
and like I said, I've never
heard anything like it. I can't really

422
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:15.039
describe it, just just a screech, a loud, extremely loud screech.

423
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:16.240
And that's the only time I've ever
heard it. And like I said,

424
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:20.680
it scared my neighbors so bad.
When I heard it, I coming on

425
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:25.319
the front porch because say, I've
got a thirty by twelve front deck that

426
00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:30.680
screamed in but with a locked front
door, and I'm come out and looked

427
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:36.240
through my scream and it's unprotected from
anything coming up on the porch and I

428
00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:37.839
run out on I didn't run out, I walked out on the front porch

429
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:42.839
to see if I could hear it
again. And I heard my neighbors.

430
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:45.440
I couldn't say them, but I
heard them jump in their car about five

431
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:47.720
hundred yards away, and they got
in their vehicle and they come down in

432
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:51.440
front of the road, in front
of my house. And they never come

433
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:54.400
back, and my knowledge, they
never come back that night. They went

434
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:59.880
somewhere. But it scared them that
bad. And this thing just screaming.

435
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:05.000
And these are different, These are
different neighbors than the one that took a

436
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:08.079
shot. Yes, I've got yes, I've got some neighbors that live that

437
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:13.320
moved in up here. They built
a house right on my property line.

438
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:16.840
I know you're supposed to you're supposed
to leave like a ten way easment.

439
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:24.599
That's another show. But yeah,
and so they're about five hundred yards to

440
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:31.039
my southwest, behind me. And
you can tell one this thing. Oh

441
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:36.239
yeah, it's another thing. I
want to tell you too. My neighbor

442
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:39.960
up the road, not the one
across the street, and they lived down

443
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.079
the road a piece. They got
a blue tick hound that hangs around here.

444
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:47.960
And there's a big ravine behind my
house that runs ten miles. It

445
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:52.320
runs our way to the Coumbling River. And there's a ravine in front of

446
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:54.280
my house that runs for Knima,
So I'm talking straight up and down.

447
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:58.679
You know, you almost have to
hold on the trees to pull yourself up.

448
00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:06.920
Deep, creepy looking, and this
blue tea town would always come down

449
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:08.679
here at the house. It would
go around my house for months. It

450
00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:13.440
did this basically on a daily basis. And every time the wind blew out

451
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:16.480
of the northwest, this coonhoun would
go off into the woods, off downing

452
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:21.360
one of the ravines and it would
bark like I had something treat and I

453
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:22.800
didn't want to. One day I
did. I got my gun and I

454
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:27.400
told my girlfriend, I'm wanting to
see where he's appeared at a cone trade

455
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:31.039
of I got a halfway down there. The coonhoun came back out and followed

456
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:35.400
me back home. But this thing
does this. I could not tell you

457
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:38.360
the times every time the wind would
blow out of the northwest, this coonhoun

458
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:44.800
could smell this creature in one of
these ravines. It would never bark if

459
00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:46.800
the womb was blown out of the
south or the west, only the northwest.

460
00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:52.599
So I know that's where these creatures
are hanging out at to the northwest

461
00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:55.280
of my house, down in a
deep ravine and I was shot deer down

462
00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:59.280
in the nerve a few times,
and it's an all day job to get

463
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:02.079
a deer out of it. It's
an all day job to people. And

464
00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:07.039
there's a lot of wilderness here for
these things, it's stacked on top of

465
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:13.199
wilderness, which wilderness on top of
wilderness. I'm let me let me put

466
00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:16.960
it to you this way. I'm
seventeen, a little over seventeen miles in

467
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:25.960
any direction. I go into a
store in any direction seventeen miles, So

468
00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:31.840
that can you get an idea of
how far I am. Wow, it

469
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:36.000
takes me forty five minutes to go
up to any kind of store. And

470
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:40.119
there's a little general mercantile store up
here that was open for a long fifty

471
00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:45.079
years or so and it's closed down
and I think it's open maybe once or

472
00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:49.719
quist the beading, and though it's
the closest I am to store, and

473
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:54.480
I'm real close to Standishtone Park.
There was a guy that texted me Z

474
00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:59.280
wanted me to get together with him, and I told him, I said,

475
00:36:59.320 --> 00:37:01.039
young, Now, I said,
you don't really know what you're asking.

476
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:05.559
You don't know what you're asking for. You don't. I told him,

477
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:07.880
I said, you don't need to
be out here and these bushes looking

478
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:10.400
to these creatures, they don't want
to be found, they don't want to

479
00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:14.519
be seen. So I told him, I give you my opinion of my

480
00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:17.320
advice. I said, you don't
really understand what you're wanting to do.

481
00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:22.000
A person can buy off more and
makes you if they go after these creatures,

482
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:24.039
you never know how they're going to
act. Now, these creatures around

483
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:30.679
my house so far have been pretty
cool. They like playing games, eating

484
00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:35.039
the fruit, and I've got a
fruit orchard over here, apple orchard,

485
00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:38.079
red delicious apples. They tire into
them. And you know what another thing

486
00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:42.800
too, jerem my eyes. For
years and years, my apples started disappearing,

487
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:46.840
and I wrote it off with squirrels
until I started seeing bite marks on

488
00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:50.119
them that I didn't know what made
it. It wouldn't it, dear?

489
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:52.679
And so, like I said,
after I retired, just this winter,

490
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:58.679
just when I started to put the
pieces of the puzzle together, I've never

491
00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:00.920
had time to fool these days.
Before them, I was always working,

492
00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:04.800
always driving. Now I was on
the road four and a half hours a

493
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:09.800
day. And now that I'm home, the puzzle is coming together pretty quick,

494
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:15.159
and I'm not having any problems putting
it together. As to what's actually

495
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:22.519
going on around here, have you
heard of any other maybe prior history of

496
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:25.199
big foot encounters in your area,
or do you think it's just an a

497
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:32.119
current day thing here at my house, it's a current day thing. And

498
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:35.920
no, I haven't heard of anybody
else. Talking about him. As a

499
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:38.800
boy over here close to standish Stone
Parking, he said he lived four or

500
00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:43.280
five miles from the park, and
he said he had had two encounters,

501
00:38:43.960 --> 00:38:46.480
and I live only live about three
miles away. The crow files to vanished

502
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:52.440
home. But these creatures I do
believe have been here a long time,

503
00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:59.480
dur a mile because things happened to
me twenty years ago here, and I

504
00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:02.400
wrote it off with something else.
I used to say, Oh, that's

505
00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:06.960
ow flew into the house, or
that's a bird flew into the house at

506
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:09.719
two o'clock in the morning. I
always tried to write it off with something

507
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:17.599
else until I got to where I
couldn't anymore. These these creatures here in

508
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:22.159
my house, they've been here a
long time. Oh yeah, they were.

509
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:27.840
Actually I think they were here when
I moved here back in nineteen ninety

510
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:32.599
nineteen ninety six, moved here in
the summer of ninety six and things started

511
00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:36.440
happening right off with the bat But
like I said, we just wrote it

512
00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:40.480
off with something else go ahead.
Interesting how there were a lot of people

513
00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:47.760
that were commenting about issues around Standing
Stone State Park and that being close to

514
00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:52.599
your area, you guys have got
something going on there. There's no doubt.

515
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:55.920
I don't and I know we've got
something going on, and you just

516
00:39:57.000 --> 00:40:01.639
letting you know what's going on.
There's no question in my mind. It

517
00:40:01.679 --> 00:40:09.400
wouldn't do if I had some night
vision A dear, these cameras people put

518
00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:13.760
on these trees, I wouldn't do
if I had some of them. I'll

519
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:15.599
show you what one of them looks
like. But like I told you before,

520
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:19.559
I don't want to know what they
look like. I hope I never

521
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:22.360
see one. I don't. I
don't want it to scare me so bad

522
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:28.239
that or change my opinions so bad
that I never want to go in the

523
00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:31.000
woods again. I don't want that
to be taken from me. I don't

524
00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:36.480
want my freedom, Jeremiah, to
be taken from me, or I'm afraid

525
00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:39.800
to ever pick up a gun of
you sure, And that's why I don't

526
00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:43.360
want to see one. That's why
I don't want to see one. I

527
00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:49.519
was going to ask ye, actually
have you considered putting a game camera on

528
00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:55.239
your property? And it sounds like
you've already had that internal discussion. I

529
00:40:55.280 --> 00:41:00.920
don't know how much they are,
and I don't have a law popkin to

530
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:04.480
run the data off of the thing
and put it on a computer. I've

531
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:08.679
never owned the laptop, and and
I don't know how much these cameras are.

532
00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:15.360
I've never looked into it. But
I just hope that I never you

533
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:17.400
know, that I never have to
face one of these things face to face,

534
00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:22.079
because from what I hear other people
say on your show, it's a

535
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:27.880
life changing experience. And I pray
to the Lord that I never have to

536
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:30.559
see one, absolutely, because like
I said, I don't want my freedom

537
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:35.480
taken from me. I don't want
to fear of every wanting to go back

538
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:38.679
in the woods again. I loved
outdoor and I would never want that taken

539
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:46.679
away from me. Your neighbor that
had shot at one mark, yeah,

540
00:41:46.719 --> 00:41:53.039
do you yeah? You're remembering her
account? Do you know if she had

541
00:41:53.559 --> 00:42:00.400
if she thought she actually hit the
creature or it was maybe a near miss

542
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:07.360
her. I think from what she
told me, she saw it walk no

543
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:12.800
doubt saw it walked by a window, and she just opened the door after

544
00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:15.760
it walked by her window and shot. She told me she shot up in

545
00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:22.159
the air to scar it off.
That's what she told me. Yeah,

546
00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:23.880
she didn't hit the creature. She
shot up in the air to scare it

547
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:29.119
away. Gotcha. And yeah,
And every time I have an experience,

548
00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:32.840
she has the same experience. It
comes from my place to her place across

549
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:37.719
it the road are to day before
yesterday, I got to notice and I

550
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:44.599
started looking real close at what had
been going on, and I saw were

551
00:42:44.760 --> 00:42:50.800
something across my fence out here,
and my fence is about four and a

552
00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:57.239
half foot doll was bob war on
top, and I saw one of these

553
00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:02.360
creatures across my fence and three to
places because it actually broke the plastic it

554
00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:06.920
broke what got my attentions. It
broke the plastic clips off of my fence

555
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:12.480
post in all three locations, and
my fence was wadded together. He had

556
00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:16.199
put his hand down on the fence
and it pushed down and all three places

557
00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:21.400
in the center where had left an
indentation in my and I've got some of

558
00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:24.400
the best wire you can buy.
I forgot the name of it, but

559
00:43:24.599 --> 00:43:30.239
just the good stuff. It's tough. It's tough wire. And then I

560
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:32.280
got two strength of barb wire during
I on top of that, and like

561
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:37.280
I said, it broke with the
plastic clips off of each fence post where

562
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:43.840
it crossed it crosses my I got
a big nine hundred square foot barn out

563
00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:49.920
here too, and I've never of
course, I've never looked really for evidence

564
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:52.280
inside the barn. But like I
said, I'm really starting to put me

565
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:57.800
and my girlfriends starting to pay more
attention, and we're just hoping tonight we

566
00:43:57.840 --> 00:44:01.199
don't have another experience like last night
was a scary time for us. He

567
00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:06.280
really was. When I walked through
the middle of the house from the dark,

568
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:08.079
but with a bathroom light on,
you see your girlfriend sitting on the

569
00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:15.199
dark shaking and trembling like a leaf. And why does a ghost? I

570
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:20.000
just I, you know what,
I want them to go away. I

571
00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:22.679
want them to go away. I
don't I just want my pace back.

572
00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:27.679
I just wanted to peace some time
back. I want I don't want to

573
00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:31.960
have to set in my house hearing
things outside, but just slauts and stuff

574
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:36.840
on my house, which has happened
many times. I just I don't want

575
00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:37.519
to I don't want to have to
deal with that no more. And I

576
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:43.880
just pray that the Lord moves the
money. I hope they those somewhere else.

577
00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:50.440
I hear you, I don't appears
the creatures because we've never bothered him.

578
00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:53.440
And something else too. I mentioned
this, but I want to bring

579
00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:58.960
it up again, not quick.
I've heard other people on your should saves.

580
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:02.639
Sometimes these anim was will leave you
a guilt. I found the back

581
00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:08.039
leg of a cow. The bone
was just fresh. It was shiny white,

582
00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:12.559
laying and righting on the edge of
my yard. I'm outen my yard

583
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:16.559
a couple of weeks ago and nearly
a back leg of a cow bone that

584
00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:21.639
was fresh. But the problem is, here's the problem. There's no cows

585
00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:24.760
within five miles of me. Okay, I don't think I brought that up

586
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:30.599
before. That's another thing. There's
no cows within five miles of me German.

587
00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:37.519
That's another thing. I just brought
the top of my head, which

588
00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:44.079
like another recurrence. Are you go? And to be honest with you in

589
00:45:44.159 --> 00:45:47.039
all truth, the only guy that
I know that has cows from here.

590
00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:52.880
Three days ago or four days ago, me and my girlfriend was going to

591
00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:55.599
the grocery store and I stopped buying. I talked to you in real nice.

592
00:45:55.599 --> 00:46:00.199
Felly is a Jewish heller from New
Hampshire or somewhere up in there,

593
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:01.880
and I asked him. I hadn't
talked to him in a while, but

594
00:46:02.119 --> 00:46:06.719
we know each other. And I
asked him, I said, have you

595
00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:09.239
had any cows going miss lately?
And he said no, Mark. I

596
00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:13.960
know everybody down here, Jeremy.
I've lived here twenty six years. I'm

597
00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:16.639
one of thosest people that's been here. There's only one or two other people

598
00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:20.920
that's lived here alone with than me. And I asked him. His name's

599
00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:23.559
Abner. I said, Abner,
have you had any cows going miss lately?

600
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:27.880
He said no. Mark. He
says, I've got fresh beef for

601
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.679
sale, but I've not had any
cows going miss. And I said,

602
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:34.400
do you know anybody else has got
any cows around here? And he goes,

603
00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:37.440
yeah, I know of one man, but I said he's not missing

604
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:39.559
any cows either, or I didn't
know about it. He said, So

605
00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:45.719
my question is where did this cow
fresh cowbonb come from abound in the edge

606
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:49.599
of we are. Yeah, that's
a playble right there. That's a puzzle

607
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:53.519
I can't put together. That's something
I ain't been able to figure out.

608
00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:02.079
That is wild Mark. Well,
it's true, it's true, exactly,

609
00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:08.079
that's what it is. You mentioned
something about cedar thickets. I want to

610
00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:12.599
make sure that that's something to cover
because you said you were going to call

611
00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:17.320
it. Yeah. Yes, there's
heavy cedars tickets here at my house.

612
00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:21.559
And like I said, a fresh
creek behind the house. You can drink

613
00:47:21.559 --> 00:47:24.199
water, id it's that fresh.
I've got a water well here on my

614
00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:29.679
place, but I've never used it, about forty feet deep. But there's

615
00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:34.840
all kinds of cover and foods here
for any kind of creatures. And yeah,

616
00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:37.639
back in the midst February, as
I here on my front porch doing

617
00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:42.360
something, and all of a sudden, I started catching glances of deer running

618
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:45.239
through my front You already coming from
this heavy cedars ticket buying my house where

619
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:50.119
the creek is. And I've never
in my life seen deer running jump,

620
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:53.159
I said. These things were running
twos and threes at a time. I

621
00:47:53.280 --> 00:48:00.559
counted seventeen deers and one of them
was about a twelve a monster you drag

622
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:05.679
twelve point. These things were coming
through my yard twos and threes at a

623
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:09.239
time, one right behind another,
running for their lives. I never saw

624
00:48:09.280 --> 00:48:14.119
a deer with that kind of fear
in their faces. They run right through

625
00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:16.320
my front yard. I was within
thirty yards of them. They didn't pay

626
00:48:16.360 --> 00:48:20.159
me a bit of attention. They
look at they've seen me stand there,

627
00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:23.000
and they just kept coming the direction
thirty yards of me. And I saw,

628
00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:27.320
I actually saw bear in these animal
spaces. And I heard that.

629
00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:29.559
My girlfriend said, come here,
man, come here and look at this.

630
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:31.840
And she says, what's them deer
running from? And I said,

631
00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:37.960
I don't know, but I can
tell you what I think they're running from.

632
00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:43.920
They ain't many things in the woods
that would make seventeen deer clear out

633
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:47.519
of an area that quick, unless
it was something wanting to kill them.

634
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:52.280
We're Jeremiah, we're walking on eggshells. Run here. Oh, I'm sure

635
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:55.760
got to be terrible. Were walking
on egg shell It is people don't understand

636
00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:59.960
people who don't have a clue.
These people wouldn't be out there, huh.

637
00:49:00.039 --> 00:49:01.079
And for them if they had to
go through what I go through every

638
00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:07.880
night, and we're walking on next
shells, just praying and and still reading

639
00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:10.800
our scriptures and just praying these things
leave us alone. But what do I

640
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:16.159
think they are? Yeah? I
think pretty much playing simple, cut and

641
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:25.639
dry. I think they're none known
eight species with the stone form of maybe

642
00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:34.400
human characteristics. But I think the
government knows all about them. But see,

643
00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:39.440
you have to understand. Anything the
government can't last and put a microscope

644
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:44.840
under and dissect it and put it
back together. They're not going to claim

645
00:49:44.840 --> 00:49:49.599
it exist. Anything the government can't
control or put a last or around us

646
00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:52.800
neck, they're going to deny it
exists because they can't control it. The

647
00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:57.840
government knows what they are. Yeah, they know exactly what they are,

648
00:49:57.880 --> 00:50:00.920
and they know what their DNA and
they know everything about but they're not They

649
00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:07.239
don't want to cause a panic in
the public. He was to come out

650
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:10.119
on broad open radio stations and say
this stuff, it would create a panic

651
00:50:10.519 --> 00:50:15.119
that they don't want it. Neither
does the public. I can't really blame

652
00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:20.480
them. I can't blame them.
I would keep it quiet too. It's

653
00:50:20.480 --> 00:50:24.039
don't need to know basis, But
I think it's I think it's it's a

654
00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:30.440
species that came here thousands of years
ago, because these things go back to

655
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:35.199
as far as Man's Venue, or
even Indians that talked about them. I've

656
00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:38.599
seen on your show. I heard
mention of Indians talk about them and stuff.

657
00:50:39.039 --> 00:50:44.840
I think it's an unknown species to
basically your everyday person, but the

658
00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:52.559
government knows about them. But it's
an unknown maybe a guerrilla species that could

659
00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:58.239
have possibly cross linked with a female
woman at one time or another possibly,

660
00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:01.199
I don't really know. Well,
I'm not a scientist. That's just my

661
00:51:01.320 --> 00:51:08.920
speculation. I think that they one
of them could have had could have crossed

662
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:15.320
over to the human art and they
may because some people I've sing on your

663
00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:19.880
shows that they look human in the
face, and many people say that,

664
00:51:19.960 --> 00:51:28.039
yeah, tell me what you think
about them. Mark. My personal thought

665
00:51:28.079 --> 00:51:34.960
about it and is that it's an
undiscovered great ape species in North America.

666
00:51:36.440 --> 00:51:40.320
If you look at groups that are
looking into it for extended periods of times,

667
00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:47.480
like the NAWAC with North American Wood
Ape Conservancy out of Oklahoma, it's

668
00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:53.840
just it's got to be an unknown
ape creature. And there's a lot of

669
00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:58.440
different listeners to this show that have
many different thoughts. There's no right or

670
00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:01.480
wrong answers, but personally, that's
what I think is what we're dealing with.

671
00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:06.880
So it just adds, Yeah,
I agree with during my one hundred

672
00:52:06.920 --> 00:52:08.920
percent, I agree with one hundred
percent. That's what I think they are.

673
00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:14.719
I will say this, these creatures
love. They get a kick out

674
00:52:14.719 --> 00:52:17.960
of sneaking around people's houses at night, especially those that don't have a dog,

675
00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:22.480
to let them know what there's something
out there. They get a kick

676
00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:28.639
out of looking in windows and studying
people. That's absolutely yes, they've They've

677
00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:31.599
done it here for years without of
me even knowing. We just got a

678
00:52:31.639 --> 00:52:37.519
dog three years ago, first dog
I've had since I've lived here. And

679
00:52:37.559 --> 00:52:40.800
that's what that's what I think about
this because they let me say to you

680
00:52:40.840 --> 00:52:45.039
this way, Jeremy, more about
these creatures than I ever will. Because

681
00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:50.519
you've talked to hundreds of people,
and I appreciate the opportunity to talk to

682
00:52:50.559 --> 00:52:53.719
you on the phone. I'd love
to shake your hand, but you're pretty

683
00:52:53.760 --> 00:52:58.719
much an expert in this field.
I consider you to be, and you

684
00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:04.119
talk to people all over the entry
Canada and you know a lot about these

685
00:53:04.119 --> 00:53:09.840
creatures. But they My point is, Jeremia, they get a kick out

686
00:53:09.840 --> 00:53:14.880
of us as much as we do
them. Does that make sense? Absolutely?

687
00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:19.679
It makes total sense. How it's
genius. How oh yeah, yeah,

688
00:53:19.719 --> 00:53:22.360
And thank you for the kind of
words. Mark, do you mind

689
00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:29.960
talking directly to the listener for a
few minutes about why it's important that they

690
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:35.159
share their story for the first time. I think it's very important is for

691
00:53:35.239 --> 00:53:39.119
people to share their information because it
can give other people in the study of

692
00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:49.679
these creatures more information that they need
to finally figure out these creatures get.

693
00:53:49.880 --> 00:53:54.320
The more information that you put out
there, the more information researchers can use

694
00:53:55.159 --> 00:54:07.920
as their advantage. Mark. It's
been amazing talking to you. Your story

695
00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:12.320
is incredible. It's actually happening to
you right now, could be tonight.

696
00:54:12.400 --> 00:54:19.320
Yes, yes, absolutely, And
I hope it don't right That's that's my

697
00:54:19.440 --> 00:54:25.559
prayer and my wishes. I hope
it don't happen in that it's it's a

698
00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:32.599
burden, you know what I mean. It's a burden. And I want

699
00:54:32.599 --> 00:54:36.800
to ask you this. Have you
ever saw one? You know what?

700
00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:42.599
Mark? I haven't. I hope
to one day. I do actually have

701
00:54:42.679 --> 00:54:45.320
the hope to have a sighting one
day. I know that it will greatly

702
00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:52.559
affect me as a interviewer and a
researcher. But I do hope to have

703
00:54:52.639 --> 00:54:58.440
a sighting one day, but we
will see. I hope there's something for

704
00:54:58.599 --> 00:55:00.480
you. Yeah, I hope it's
the same for you too, Jerema.

705
00:55:00.440 --> 00:55:05.400
I just hope you the best,
and I know your channel is growing,

706
00:55:05.559 --> 00:55:09.199
and I just I hope you the
best at whatever you wish to do.

707
00:55:09.280 --> 00:55:12.679
You're a good man. I can
tell that by your voice. You're a

708
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:19.400
You're an outstanding individual. Thank you, sir. I'm sure this won't be

709
00:55:19.400 --> 00:55:23.679
the last time I'll hear from you. Please keep in touch for the future

710
00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:27.760
and let me know what happens to
you and your property. I hope you

711
00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:34.199
guys are safe. But thanks again, Chance. I appreciate that very much,

712
00:55:34.239 --> 00:55:37.960
sir. So you want me to
continue to stay in touch with you

713
00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:43.400
if this stuff continues on, absolutely
I will. I hope it don't.

714
00:55:43.480 --> 00:55:46.960
I hope you don't hear from anybody
exactly. Yeah, but if you do,

715
00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:50.320
don't, I hope I never have
to talk to you about Yeah,

716
00:55:50.360 --> 00:55:52.679
but if I do, you know, I want to tell you so everything

717
00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:58.559
I've told you not. I have
no reason to lie about anything. I

718
00:55:58.639 --> 00:56:04.199
just I'm not that kind of person. I've never stole. I've only I

719
00:56:04.239 --> 00:56:09.039
just don't tell I was once a
great athlete and a soldier and stuff.

720
00:56:09.079 --> 00:56:13.920
And I don't have to have a
knee go I've already had one from the

721
00:56:13.920 --> 00:56:17.440
past, and I'm fine with who
I am today. So I've already lived

722
00:56:17.519 --> 00:56:22.960
now athleticism and shooting them old tank
shells, and I've already been did pretty

723
00:56:23.000 --> 00:56:28.400
much everything I want to do.
So yeah, so I don't most certainly

724
00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:31.920
don't need this recognition. YEA be
nice to have some peace and quiet.

725
00:56:32.599 --> 00:56:37.800
So well, hope, so all
right, I hope lot. I hope

726
