Towering Bigfoot Stares Down Family in North-Central Mississippi

0:00 You're listening to BIGFA Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it. To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us. Please keep Jeremiah in your prayers as he continues his fight against cancer. For more updates about his medical journey, please go to the carring Bridge link in the show notes. Thank you. How's it going man?

0:44 Doing pretty good? Man? How are you? Hey? You know, I appreciate you coming up. I feel free to share if you can share kind of where the region or area happened, that's helpful as well too. Yeah. So we are took the kids on spring break two years ago down at Red River Gorge in Kentucky, and we live in Louisville, and our cabin backed up to the edge of a hill or I guess, you know, they would say the haller and the the curator of the airbnb that we had, he we thought he was just joking. He's like, you know, there's big foots around and just saying, you know, maybe trying to get a rise out of us. But as the sun was setting, we were outside around the fire and we heard kind of a roar sort of and we all just kind of looked at each other, was like, no way, we just heard that. And it was just down at the bottom of the of the haller that we were staying up on top of. And my son he had a hammock set up because he was wanting to sleep outside that night. You're like, no, not now, sorry, buddy.

1:58 Oh my goodness, hold on one, get him out of there. That's wild. How long did the how how long did the roar go for? Probably about I don't know, I would have to say probably five or six seconds. Okay. It was pretty deep too, So I don't think there's anything in those woods that anything else that I would know that wouldn't make that kind of noise. And it's something where I don't know, did it affect you in any weird way physically when you heard it. It kind of gave us chill bumps a little bit, but other than that, we were just kind of, you know, we weren't really scared. We didn't go in or anything, but it was just kind of exciting to hear it.

2:45 And then. That was really kind of the only experience we had while we were there. That's awesome. Were you able to talk to the airbnb owner afterwards to be like, yeah, we we think we experienced something or did that never happen now? We didn't. We didn't see him again. But I have shared this story on other TikTok videos and they were telling me that I didn't come up live. I just typed it in, but they were telling me that apparently red River Gorge is kind of a hot spot for bigfoot activity. It really is. There's been multiple people I've talked to, and there's actually a Red River Gorge Bigfoot festival now, which is massive. I mean, I want to say it's like thirty forty thousand people showed up the first time they had it. It was crazy. So that area is pretty intense. But man, thank you so much for coming up and for sharing that about that area. I appreciate it.

3:48 Yeah, absolutely, thanks for having me. You got it. So there you go first one Red River Gorge a weird roar self. Have heard a weird roar out in Oregon and it is It chills you, it makes you freak out. Sorry, I've never never done that before. I don't know. You're good, You're good. Yeah. Would you be able to any any details you can share? Much appreciate, but feel free to go for it. Okay. So we had had a hurricane come through and it was like that Matthew or Michael or something like that, and like most of our county, we flood during that time.

4:33 So we have horses. We have five bakers. We live at the edge of the O'calla forest and we have three horses. And then we had goats and at the time we did not have livestock guardian dogs, and the paddocks had flooded in the back and I had sent my husband off for work. It was like five fifteen in the morning. It was still dark. Because of where we live, we don't there's no outside light, like we have our porch light, but there's no you know, like street lights or anything like that. It's pretty rural as far as is concerned, but I sent them off to work, and I was sitting on the porch having my coffee and all I could hear something walking through the water, but I didn't see anything, and I kind of just assumed it was like one of the horses or something.

5:27 But then I looked and all of our horses and the goats were all pointed like right towards where that was coming from, and they were like frozen, but nobody was making any noise. Nobody, you know, was moving or anything, and they just stayed watching. I grabbed the flashlight that we have inside just to look. I didn't even I thought, okay, maybe it's a bear. You know, we have black bears out here, and didn't think anything about it. And it was walking through like from we have like a thick wooded area in the back, but towards the right of our house. And then it was walking through the paddock, going towards our neighbor's property, stepped right over the fence line and just kept walking. I was like started screaming because I was like, go and I didn't know if they would like attack a goat or anything like that, but he was completely unbothered. He never picked up his pace.

6:26 He never like turned around, never nothing, and just kept walking and just stepped right over the fence and kept on going. And my husband had later found in the fence line because of how we were flooded to the top edge of the wire that was like was once all dry, but that was like pretty much all that was showing above the water where he had crossed over. And at one point we did have hair at one point that did not match. We can't one hundred percent say that it was his, you know, but it did not match any color like of our go through the horses or anything like that. And of course we don't have pictures or camera or anything, but it was kind of crazy.

7:20 That was kind of crazy. Wow, that is wild. How long was the hair. I'm going to say about three inches three to four inches. It wasn't very long. It wasn't very long, but kind of shaggy. And then just recently I don't know, like I had I had the pictures on my phone, but it was about three weeks ago. Now I had come outside in the morning. I was the first one up. And again we live at the edge of the ol Califorest, so we get like weird stuff happening out here, but nothing too crazy. I came out though, and like our house, the back porch goes and then we have like a little like section of woods that might be like twenty thirty feet deep, and then we have a little swamp lake thing. And in between, like off the edge of our back porch, in between that and the woods, there were two very large footprints. I put a tape measure next to them, and they were about fourteen inches in length. The and I don't know, so that was a little bit weird, and I thought, Okay, my husband's play is not that big, you know, like it was there, and he also does not walk barefront, but he and then I asked the kid, you know, did you guys see anything, and know they do, I see anything, but I got pictures of that, but I don't know if it's you know, I don't know if it was somebody like a woods person.

8:47 Or oh you mean just a random person living in the woods. Yeah, because there's you know, there's people out there. Oh yeah, we don't see them there they're out there. Fourteen inches says that's pretty big. Did you ever talk to the neighbor that it was walking towards like that that property owner. Yes, and they have they think that they have seen or I'm not gonna say thing. They said that they have seen it at least three separate times. So he was concerned. At one point, he said, he's never felt threatened or anything like. That by it. He has a workshop, like our house is further into the woods, and they're just like closer up to the road where we kind of you know, like pull in, but it's dirt roads back here. But so his workshop is kind of the middle. And then so when I look out my poor, I just the woods and then he's like up closer to the road. But he was in his workshop, and he said that it was at one point standing like in the doorway, and he said he was so shocked, like he didn't he froze up because he scared him. And he's a hunter, he said, he goes normally, you know, I don't get scared or anything.

9:59 And he said, but it just left them and he said that he was like, he goes, are we good, buddy, and he goes obviously didn't talk back to him, but he just didn't know what to do. And so he said that was it, and he said, the thing like turned around and walked away and never bothered anybody, never bothered, you know, any of the animals or anything like that. And it's just he said, he's seen it three times, that they've been here like two years longer than we have. Oh my goodness, that's it. That's wild. You guys haven't had a sighting yet. It's so wild that you know, maybe someday though, unless something you even want. You know, oh yeah, for sure, Like for sure, I'm totally open to it. And that's what I'm saying. Like when I when I saw it going through the paddock, I just don't know, like what to we We don't know anybody that will even entertain a conversation about this, you know, without making fun of us because it sounds crazy.

10:52 We sound crazy. But it was there, we saw it, you know, it was in the paddock like it. So there is a let me look it up real quick. There's a really good group, uh Mid Florida Bigfoot Research Team, And I want to say that they do stuff around Okala. If you're trying, if you like wanted to talk to people that are serious into it and really know about your area, look them up there's also let me look up the other one, Real Quick Squatching fl is another good one. Mike's really good. Either of those organizations I believe are kind of looking around in that area of Florida.

11:43 So my worth might be worth checking out if you're if you're interested. So thank you so much for coming up and sharing about what's going on down Okala. Was that around twenty eighteen? Yes, yep, okay, awesome, good stuff, good stuff, and I hope you can hang out and uh listen for a little bit. Yeah, of course, all right, thank you, thank you. Here we go, hay Sticks. How are you hi, Jeremiah Stabora. We just have had a texting just a little bit. Thank you for reminding me of your user name.

12:24 Okay in the episode seven and seven fifty eight with you. It's a wild one. It's man. It's one of those where when I think of like states I haven't been to, Texas is one of them, and I always think, like, why would I go to a state? Your your story always comes up in my mind because it is so wild. I mean, you were sending some some crazy stuff earlier today, but what what is going on? Well, I've had a few things happen. Uh. Since since I got back from last year, I've had uh like at the top of my I go feed the chickens, I walk up the of like up the dam, and there's like a pile of entrails, like on the trail that I created to walk up to the top of the dam, and it's just like they're waiting on me.

13:17 There's no blood, there's no no anything. And it looked like it come from a deer, maybe a small deer. And so I'm guessing I got gifted something. I've had three sticks laid across my chair on the front porch when I would go out to sit down, and they would be like right in a row, kind of kind of angled. I don't know, just a lot of weird stuff. And of course I did a I did a garden last year, and you know, always have weird stuff happen when I do the garden. And so I made two gardens and I have a big uh. I had a big garden, like tomato plants that I that I treillis around my chicken coop. So I spent one Saturday, spent about three or four hours doing all of these tomatoes and two different gardens one garden close to the house, the other one around the chicken coop, And so spent all that time doing all of that. I get up the next morning and all of those little I probably put at least a hundred of those round little clips that you treill us the tomatoes with. I don't know if you know what I'm talking about, but they're like little round, white clips. So I had put all of those on. And then when I when I get up the next day on Sunday, I go down there both gardens, they're all gone out of both gardens, those little clips.

14:46 So I was like, what in the world. It's like something thought they were like cute little things to play with or something. You know how I've had the juvenile tracks and the little rocks made in the circles out behind our cars, and you know that that box of twine that got carried out into the into the forest. Just a lot of things that would make me think like we'd have juveniles here. Of course I did see that one in that in that big pile of brush. But so Monday I go back out there and then all of my tomatoes are gone. So Saturday, let's see, So Saturday it took or Sunday it took off all of the the little the little clips. Monday it came back and took off all the tomatoes. And that's out of two different gardens. So and then this year, oh son, that Monday, I went on Amazon and I bought one of those deer nets and I draped it across the top of the chicken pin to make sure that, like you know, nothing can stick its hand under there when I grow new tomatoes. And I took the little landscape staples and I stapled it all along the ground and then on and then it's like the netting went missing.

16:12 And this year my son found it like fifty or sixty feet away out in the pond. So something pulled it down, carried it across the yard, threw it in the pond. So that was like really strange. And then and then we had I guess it was a couple of months ago. I was sitting on the front porch and I start hearing this tree cracking and then I look up and I just watched this big, full grown, mature tree just crashed to the ground. And I'm like, oh my gosh, what in the world. And I showed you that video that I made like suits it happened. And then I walked down and out to the back of the property and I found my son, found my two sons and my younger. My younger sons said, man, you're not gonna believe what happened. And I said, I don't know what. I said. I came down here because I heard this tree crash and he says, yeah, there was like four of them and it happened in like five minutes, and we're trying to figure out what in the heck happened. And I said, well, you know it was bigfoot, right, so anyway, and then we have this big pond, and then there were like two human looking footprints.

17:24 I don't think I sent you that picture, but there's like two human human looking footprints. If I were to stand where it's where it as deep as it sank down on the side of the pond, it would probably come up to about, like, I don't know, probably two or three inches above my ankle. But so, what else did I want to tell you today? Oh? Oh, I forgot. This is like the craziest one. I was doing some cleaning in my son's bedroom and bathroom room and I come walking out of his bathroom and his I walked by his He's got a big screen TV.

18:06 So I walk by that and then there's a window and I look up and that white bigfoot is walking away from that window, that one that I saw, I have. So I was so freaked out. I just saw the whole back of him just walking away. And remember how I told you he was like a winter wheat color, same one, same one, walking right away from my son's window. And I know, yeah. Sorry, go ahead, I got questions a few minutes. Yeah, okay, Yeah. So so I was like, oh my gosh, I go running through the house and I by the time I get to the uh, by the time I get to the kitchen or the the the patio doors, I look in it and it's gone. But it was there.

18:54 It was clear as day. So anyway, go ahead. Okay, So for people that haven't heard your episodes, can you describe a little bit about what that some other things about that white bigfoot so people can get the picture. When I was it was the episode I mean, or the story was like when I was on the phone with my friend Mark in England and I came out of the chicken coop and I had the phone in my hand and I looked up and straight across the the what was then a garden. I looked up and that thing was standing on the other side of the garden looking at me. It was probably I don't know, one hundred one hundred and twenty thirty foot away and it just stood there and looked at me. That it turned to its left and it just like did a swan dive behind a big pile of brush, and it was that. I don't I can't even I can't even figure out how tall it was, but I don't know.

19:55 It was just it was really big. It was. It was narrow and skinny, but it was. Okay, so and just curious. So sometimes people say, like it skinny, So was it like a muscular skinny or like it was just it was just skinny, skinny. It was just thin. Yeah, it was thin. And I later I found that, oh, one of those police officers that does does uh, let's see uh Dano Dano put up of a dog man looking thing and that is like exactly like what I saw. It looks so close to that. It was like it wasn't like big and bulky like a bigfoot, but it was like narrow and skinny, pretty much like that white dog man that he posted, and I when I came across that later, I was like, that's what I saw.

20:48 Yeah. Yeah, guys, the YouTube versions of those episodes have the pictures in them. I'm like, I put the pictures in them, and there's some wild pictures in there. Some of the best pictures of bigfoot I have ever seen are ones that are captured on your property that you had sent to me for those episodes. It was it is wild, wild stuff. We don't like going outside in the dark. Earn't either. Have you have you had since I put those out? Have you had anyone come down to check things out? I can't remember if you have. No, I've had a phone call with uh with Yeah, the man that you you that wanted to tell me.

21:34 About them that. They saw the family he investigated that had the three and there on their property, the three white ones. I can't think of his name right off hand, but but yeah, it's never a movement around here. Just still got stuff going on. And I feel like that was a while ago. We had that discussion, maybe a year or so. Yeah, Yeah, And it always ramps up in the spring. Here Okay, what part of spring. Just you know, like when things start getting a little warmer and starts raining, you know, just kind of just kind of you know, starts moving into spring, like when I plant the gardens and you know, that kind.

22:22 Of sun, which makes sense because there's going to be more food in the area. Someone was talking about who Dana is. He is the host of the Cryptid podcast, and he's a great guy. He's a good friend and you guys should check it out. It's a YouTube thing. Also at this current time, are you feeling threatened at any time at any in any way or any time. No, it's been it's been quiet as far as like, you know, them showing themselves to us or you know, some of the stuff that we've had in the past couple of years. But but we are, you know, we see little signs of them here and there. As a matter of fact, when I went out to I had some really big tomatoes in my garden and I went out there a couple of days ago and they were gone.

23:11 I was like, darn it. I was so wanting to get my tomatoes. And I've started just picking them green and bringing them inside now and just let them rapping on the in the window or on the counter, because if I don't, I mean, I have nets wrapped around these these big pots with these tall tomato plants on them, and you have to pull it apart and stick your hand in there to pull those tomatoes off because it's it's covered in a deer net. Wow, the white one that you saw walking away, do you think was looking into the windows? I? Yeah, I absolutely do, because when I when I saw him, he was he had just turned and walked and was walking away.

23:55 Okay, interesting, do you have curtains on the windows? Nope? We have blinds though, Yeah, blinds. Yeah. I get up every day and I open all the blinds and yeah. Interesting, man, you're your whole story is just so wild. I love it. It sounds like you're kind of cool over that too. I don't know if you absolutely love it. But yeah, I'm getting ready to move to Florida, and I think I think I'm gonna be moving to Florida here in July, and so hopefully I don't see too much over there.

24:36 So are you gonna keep the property then or you? Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's a family property. And oh yeah that's cool. So so I'm just gonna retire in Florida. Well awesome, Well that sounds that sounds like a good deal to me. But I mean, I appreciate you keeping up to date with me, you know, and letting me know what you got going on. We have lots of strange things happening around here all the time. It's a weird place in Texas. There's a few of them. You got a weird one there. But thank you for coming up and will keep me up to date. Definitely will all right, Thank you, Jeremiah.

Hey Sarah, how are you.

26:24 I'm good? Hey, thanks for coming up. Thank you for coming up, Sarah. Feel free to share and if you can share any info about the area it happened in or any other details, that would be great as well. Yeah. Sure. I live in Mississippi and the area ali a Van is kind of rural. It's not a lot of people, but it's not just completely bare on either. It's like a little community. And back in January, it's January tenth of this year. I was in my car, kids and my family members going to town to a doctor's appointment with one of the kids, and I looked up and crossing the road in front of me was the Bigfoot. He come out of the like a tree line area where the creek was. He walked up slowly up the bank, and I started slowing down because it kind of unnerved me, and he walked into the lane of traffic, into my lane of traffic, and he stopped.

27:34 He just stopped and He stared at me for a couple of seconds, and then he walked, just slowly, walked across the highway, down the bank of the creek and into the tree line on the other side. And I've heard since then, I've heard strange noises and things that did not normally occur around where I live. And I wondered if that might possibly be someday like two of them, one would be a distance away from the other, but they were making the same noise, the same sound. It was like a low tone noise then followed by three or four higher pitch tones.

28:22 That's incredible. How long do you think you saw it for? This was This was not my first sighting of bigfoots. I've seen the bigfoots several times in several different areas around where I lived. But it was probably fifteen twenty thirty seconds at least going across there when he come across the road. I can't give you an exact time, brain, but it was a little bit. It was enough for me to see that he was probably eight or over eight foot. How he was huge, you know, large built, but not that you know, just big, and he had hair about appeared to be probably maybe two to three inches long that covered most of the body, but it was you know, it was thicker, more dense in some areas than it was in others.

29:23 Uh. The head or the neckline down to the shoulders, it was like a human head with small ears like a human. The facial features were the eyes were very dark. It had a prominent like brow by going across like for yet from your eyebrows across your forehead. It was wide and pronounced there. The nose was it was more human looking. It was. It was wide, but it wasn't exactly flat. Yeah, and it had you know, like big nostrils and some hair hair around the face. But it was like dark.

30:09 This one was dark like almost between a dark brown and a black. And it had some longer hair, longer than the other hair. It had like patches of long hair and patches of shorter hair. Do you remember what the hair was like on the neck in the back. It was shorter, not extremely long on the neck like on the front of the neck and the like the facial area and around the upper chest, it was shorter. The hair that was on the head and going towards the back was longer, a little bit longer looking and on the arms. The arms, like the upper arms, the top part of the upper arms with the hair was shorter, appeared to be shorter, but like on the back side of the arm, it was a little bit longer, like going down toward an elbow on a human, it would be like a longer a bit longer there, and a little longer looking like from the elbow to the wrist.

31:13 The hands. The hands, the fingers were long, but they didn't have a lot of hair on them. This is this is fascinating the amount of detail you can remember. Do you have your eyes closed right now? No, I don't know right now, I don't. I would be curious if you do that, if there be any more details that come back to you. Well, I this is like I said, this is not my first encounter with them. I've had several sightings that I have had, and there was there's been several of them. I don't know if they were male or female. I did not I was not able to recall that portion.

31:56 But like I said, the legs were long, the feet were big. They were more like human feet, not animal feet. And they walked upright, they didn't walk on all fours. Their arms were long like going down almost to their knees, you know, or that area like longer than human arms. Was there an emotion to the face that you saw. Curiosity? How did it show that? Well? Have you ever seen a child when they look at you and they're curious about something? They turned their heads just slightly and they look at you like seriously, like what am I saying? What is this?

32:47 Like? I was looking at it probably, you know, I was looking like, oh my god, what am I really saying this? But I was. Why do you think it was so curious when it looked at you? I don't know. That made me feel uneasy. In what way? Well, because it's it's it's strange that it's strange to where we live. Is not something I see every day. And I don't know if it was like human, or if it's animal, or if a combination or two, or if it's an alien, but either way it goes I can verify that they do exist.

33:32 Yeah. Absolutely, you said, have you seen anything else that resembles the muscular structure that it has, like anyone in any movies or TV shows? No? Okay, So it was just massive. It was big. The only thing that I can can kind of maybe make someone understand how they look. Have you seen like a linebacker football player. Sure, that's really big. And the muscles because some of them work out and they have like muscles that look like wings that go from their shoulders up to the base of their skull. You know, the really deep muscular wide neck not real not real thick, deep, but wide, you know, muscular and the neck area from the neck interesting, the head to the shoulder.

34:26 And so was it a thing where like it's all covered with hair that you can see the muscle definition underneath? Yes, okay? Interesting? Is this? Can you share if this is southern Mississippi or northern or anything that I don't want to say too much. Well, it's it's it's around the north central part of the state. Interesting, Okay, I haven't heard a lot from there. Most of my stuff is from like southeast Mississippi. Right, So that that is pretty cool. Uh. You said that there is also or this happened in January, right, yes? Yeah, And then you said there's also been other experiences you've had around your house.

35:13 Well in the area, Well, there has been a few things happened after that. It was not that particular day, not on the tenth but it was around the probably the twelfth or the thirteenth of January. I had an occurrence that happened on my property and that unnerved me pretty bad. But I just tried to keep my cooling and not. But anyway, is that anything you would be comfortable to sharing or would you rather not? Well, I don't mind sharing because these things that happened. Yeah, I feel free to go to go right ahead, anything you'd feel comfortable doing. Oh my goodness, I think we lost her. Ugh, this is terrible. I hate when TikTok freaks out like that. Sarah either, Hello Sarah. I've never wanted to scream so much in my life. Holy mackerel.

36:43 M. And I hope she comes back. She was an amazing person to talk to, and we gotta talk to her. That's she's gone, all right, Keep going, keep going. Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a National Park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, or if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field or a trucker with government contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.

37:55 If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw some that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA or anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't, then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.
