Season 1

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, host Jeremiah welcomes Derek, a native of southern middle Tennessee, who shares his chilling firsthand Bigfoot encounters from his childhood. Derek's experiences date back to 1994-1995 when he was around 10 years old and include eerie pacing in the woods, a startling late-night sighting of a tall, fur-covered creature with shining yellow eyes, and mysterious, loud knocks on his house's walls. The conversation delves into Derek's other paranormal experiences, including hearing laughter, shadowy figures, and a UFO sighting. Situated on a property with a cave system beneath it, Derek's childhood home remains a perplexing hotspot for unexplainable phenomena. Join the discussion as they explore the possibility of Bigfoot activity in an area rich with history, from potential Civil War ties to hidden cave systems.

19
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.079
It's going well, how about you.

20
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.759
You know a little bit of flurries up here in Iowa,

21
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.400
but not too crazy, so we're we're enjoying the weather.

22
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.840
There was actually four degrees here in Tennessee this morning,

23
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:12.680
and they closed schools because of it.

24
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:17.200
Oh my goodness. We just had negative twenty before down there.

25
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:20.000
That's that's a wild time. Yeah, if you want a party,

26
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.280
come up here, man, we'll give you a negative forty

27
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:26.560
some years. But Derek, before we get started, is there

28
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.760
anything that the listeners would need to know about you

29
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:32.079
for background or for context?

30
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.560
Well, I'm a native here. I've lived here all my life,

31
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:40.879
born and raised out in the country. The county I

32
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:46.719
live in it borders pretty much Alabama, so we're very

33
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.879
southern the I sixty five corridor, or we're about forty

34
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.079
five minutes south in Nashville. So it all started around

35
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.560
nineteen ninety four to nineteen ninety five. I was around

36
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.599
ten years old and my best friend lived down the

37
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.920
road from me. I mean, we're in the country house

38
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.719
since we're maybe a mile apart, so I would ride

39
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.519
my bike down there. Well, I remember, like it started.

40
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.759
I would ride my bike and I would hear something

41
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:12.039
in the woods, very loud, pacing me, and I didn't

42
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.400
know what it was, and I still I kind of

43
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.639
just didn't know at that point, but it was really loud.

44
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.280
So I would just ride quickly. But that kept going

45
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.439
for several weeks. I would hear the pacing when I

46
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:26.639
ride my bike up and down the road. But then

47
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:32.159
one night, see my house. It was it's situated. We

48
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.479
have pine trees all around it. We're at the corner

49
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:40.280
of right beside some a forest, and so when we

50
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.560
have a security light in one corner of the yard,

51
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.919
and then my bedroom's on one end appearances on the

52
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.719
other than our dining room, the living rooms in between that,

53
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:52.599
I decided to go to the kitchen to get a snacks,

54
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.080
probably around probably around eleven o'clock to midnight, somewhere around

55
00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:00.039
that area. Everybody else in the house was asleep, so

56
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.120
I decided to go to the kitchen. The kitchen's right

57
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.159
behind the dining So I was walking through the dying

58
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.319
and I just happened to look out the window. And

59
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:14.240
what I saw I can't forget. I couldn't make out

60
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.759
like really good features, but I could see the eye shine.

61
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.400
It was yellow, and it was standing at least seven

62
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:25.840
eight foot tall, because our house probably four to five

63
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.520
feet off the ground, and then the windows up a

64
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.759
little higher, and it was almost like I was looking

65
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.840
up at it and it was in a tree, standing

66
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:37.960
by a tree outside of a dining room window. I

67
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.960
could barely move for a minute because it scared me,

68
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.000
And then, like being a ten year old, I decided

69
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:46.360
to turn around and just had to tail it back

70
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.680
to my bedroom and hide under my blankets, like that

71
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:54.039
would do any good, So I did that. I probably

72
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.159
didn't sleep well that night because of that. But then

73
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:01.199
moving on after the original sighting, I didn't actually see

74
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:07.280
it anymore. But anytime I was home alone, something would

75
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.479
come and do three knocks on the back end of

76
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:13.400
my house and they were loud knocks, like the whole

77
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.680
house you could hear it. And this is pretty much

78
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.600
always when I was alone, except one time my mom

79
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.360
happened to be home and she heard it and she

80
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.759
was like, what was that. I said, it's the knocks

81
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:29.040
I tried to tell you about. But my parents, I

82
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.600
never really talked to them about it because I didn't

83
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:34.560
know if they believed me. For one, because my dad's

84
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.279
kind of like a skeptic. He doesn't believe things like that,

85
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.560
and I haven't talked to him about it now. But

86
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:47.000
I just know that there was something out there, and

87
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:52.600
I don't I've never understood whether it was interested in

88
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:59.600
just me or if it was the area. But I

89
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:04.000
know that the Knox they continued till I moved out.

90
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.160
I didn't move out till I was about twenty five.

91
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.680
I remember hearing the Knox even till then, So I

92
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.319
still believe that he's out there. I still, like to

93
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.519
this day, I still sometimes get the feeling I'm being

94
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:18.120
watched when I go to my parents' house.

95
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:25.040
The first time when you had that sighting, was there

96
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.199
any any work being done around the house, or did

97
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.800
you notice anything the ordinary about, you know, maybe any

98
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.439
tracks or anything outside The next day.

99
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.439
I didn't because at that age I really didn't think

100
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:43.040
about going to look out at tracks because I at

101
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.839
first I was like, what is this? Because it was

102
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:50.240
very tall and standing in the front yard, but nothing

103
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.120
else could explain it because we don't really have bear

104
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.680
very often in this area, and plus that was taller

105
00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:03.879
than bear. And it was just staring, like right in

106
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:05.879
the dining room, like it knew where I was and

107
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.279
it was waiting for me. That's how what I felt

108
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:08.759
at the time.

109
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:14.000
You mentioned that you can see many details. Could you

110
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.040
see like a silhouette or an outline of it?

111
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:23.000
Though I could tell it was really wide because we

112
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.160
do have a security light. But where it was standing

113
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:32.439
it was pretty shaded because of the trees, so it

114
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:34.319
was hard to see very much. I could tell it

115
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:38.079
did have fur, and it was black fur, and I

116
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.800
could see the eyes they were like this yellow looking

117
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:45.800
at me, which that could the shine could have been from,

118
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.199
Like we usually had night lights stuff like that in

119
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.240
our dining room, so it was decently lit that you

120
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.120
could see.

121
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:59.680
Gotcha. Could you get a feel for how wide across

122
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.480
it may have been judging off of other things that

123
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:04.600
you could see it by.

124
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:11.079
Well, the body was at least like twice the width

125
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.920
of me, well me now, not me then, but twice

126
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:16.920
the width of me now. And I'm pretty wide in

127
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:21.199
myself because I've nut told I'm broad shoulders, so it's

128
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:25.120
pretty wide span. And I know the head was pretty

129
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.839
big because the eyes weren't close together like we ares

130
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:28.959
a little bit further apart.

131
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.040
How far apart would you estimate that those eyes were.

132
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:41.480
M at least probably It's hard for me to estimate.

133
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:47.759
It's been so long, at least probably six to eight

134
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.600
inches because it's a pretty big head, and I couldn't

135
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:53.920
tell if it was conical shaped. I couldn't really tell

136
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:55.920
the shape of the head. I just knew I saw

137
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.600
the eyes, and I could see how broad the figure

138
00:07:58.720 --> 00:07:59.839
was and how tall it was.

139
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.800
Could you tell anything about how the head was situated

140
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:05.439
on the body?

141
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.920
I couldn't, because, like I said, it was it was

142
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:17.480
around midnight, and I looked at it for probably ten

143
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.720
to fifteen seconds before I turned around and ran back

144
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:23.600
to my ring because being a kid, everybody else in

145
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:27.959
this house was asleep. I turned around and ran absolutely.

146
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.519
Could you see anything about the shape of the arms

147
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.200
when it was standing there?

148
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.960
From what I can remember, its arms were down probably

149
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:48.120
knee length, And like, I really don't think it had

150
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.360
any ill will I think it was just interested, because

151
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:55.279
like it didn't stand like angry. It was just standing

152
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.039
looking maybe like it was just interested.

153
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.600
Did you get the feeling that it may have been

154
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:06.399
a male or a female or is it pretty hard

155
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:09.000
to tell because of the time of the day.

156
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:13.720
I kind of feel like it was a male just

157
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:17.320
because the size, because I have heard that usually females

158
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:18.399
are a little bit smaller.

159
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:23.039
The house that you were in at that time, did

160
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:27.080
it have other neighbors pretty close by or would you

161
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.120
guys kind of a little bit out there in the woods.

162
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:37.840
The closest house was my grandmother's house, and it's like

163
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:42.200
maybe almost a mile with a big long field in

164
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:45.799
between our houses. But we were nestled right beside the woods.

165
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.759
Our house was okay, and the other there wasn't any

166
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:54.679
houses on that side of the road besides us.

167
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.639
Did Grandma ever have any stories about things in the

168
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.559
woods or be careful when you go out in the

169
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.360
woods type things.

170
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:06.879
I had never really talked to her about that. I

171
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.799
know that I liked going back in the woods because

172
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:11.919
I used to have a geep and I would drive

173
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.759
it back there. But she would always just she didn't

174
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:16.759
like for us to go in the woods. So maybe,

175
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:19.080
but I've never actually talked to her about it.

176
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.919
That might be interesting, you know, there's a chance like

177
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.000
maybe she just didn't want her grandkids to go in

178
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.639
the woods. But I mean, there could be something there

179
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:31.759
if you were able to ask her. I don't know

180
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:34.120
if that's the possibility, but might be interesting.

181
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.320
Yeah, I can try talking to her. I know she

182
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:41.759
has Alzheimer's now, I don't know how much she could remember,

183
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.000
but I could try talking to her absolutely, which I

184
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:46.720
may get the guts to talk to my dad about

185
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:47.039
it too.

186
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:50.000
See when he says, oh, yeah, that's another great point.

187
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.960
You know, if you've actually never had that conversation, that

188
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.879
could be very very interesting, especially as an adult.

189
00:10:58.679 --> 00:10:59.720
And he still lives there.

190
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:07.080
So was this your first introduction to something that like

191
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.200
a big foot type creature or had it come up

192
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:12.399
in your life in other ways before this?

193
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:18.279
It was the first time with the actual bigfoot creature,

194
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.120
but I have seen other paranormal type things.

195
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:33.559
Was that before or was that after before in that

196
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:34.600
same house.

197
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:41.159
Yes, because in the house, I've seen shadows, We've heard laughing,

198
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:47.559
and other people have actually witnessed the laughing and like

199
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:53.840
laughing shadows, cabinet doors opening closing, you'd hear footsteps sometimes.

200
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.919
And what's unique about the property where this house is

201
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:04.639
there's actually a case system under it. But it had

202
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.919
a very small entrance because when I was young, bats

203
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:10.840
would fly out, so my dad actually blocked up the

204
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.080
entrance and then grass are over it, so you can't

205
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:17.159
see where the cave is anymore. But like you can

206
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.720
see rock outcropping in our front yard because when I

207
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:21.639
was little, I used to play like they were steps

208
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:24.919
to a castle, so there was actually a cave system

209
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:26.480
underneath where that house is.

210
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:32.039
All right, yeah, okay, I get I get it now.

211
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:36.159
So when when did your dad block up the entrance

212
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:37.159
to that cave system?

213
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:44.080
Oh, that was probably I was probably about eight or

214
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.200
seven when that happened, So that might have been around

215
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:48.240
ninety two or ninety three because he was afraid we

216
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:48.960
would get hurt.

217
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:54.600
Okay, So this was like a year or so before

218
00:12:54.919 --> 00:13:01.240
you had your saving yes, okay. And the other things

219
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:07.080
that you've been talking about, the shadows, laughing, cabinet doors opening,

220
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.960
how long before your sighting did those happen?

221
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:17.879
Those? They were probably the early nineties. I know, as

222
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:21.200
long as I could remember. I remembered noises in the house,

223
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:25.600
and like my sister in law was the first one

224
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:30.200
heard the laughing, and then another thing. I also, I

225
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:32.919
would hear my name called out sometimes, and usually that

226
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:36.679
was when I was alone. I would hear my name

227
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:39.879
called out, and I would be like, okay, boy.

228
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:45.360
So the hearing the name called out and all those things,

229
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:51.120
were they actually coming from inside the house or did

230
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.600
it ever sound like it was coming from beneath the house?

231
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:58.240
It could have been from beneath the house, which I

232
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:00.679
also like, we would usually have win open, and I

233
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.039
remember the windows were open a few times whenever I

234
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:04.240
heard my name called out too.

235
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:10.679
Oh Okay, so you're saying that potentially it could have

236
00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:12.799
even come from outside sometimes too.

237
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.480
It could have for sure, because like like I said,

238
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:19.679
our house, it's set up the front. We have a

239
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:23.799
big bay window and the woods are right to the

240
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.120
right side from where I'm talking, the right side of

241
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:30.840
the house. My bedroom's on the far left. But you know,

242
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:32.799
I mean we would leave windows open a lot, and

243
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:35.200
so it could have come from outside, could have been

244
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:38.080
under the house. Now, one side of our house there's

245
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:40.399
not much room to be under it. The other side

246
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:43.200
there's plenty. Yeah, I know when we went under the

247
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:45.879
house to work on stuff. One side you could like

248
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.559
get on your knees or have plenty of height. The

249
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.399
other side just crawling is all.

250
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:55.720
You could do. Okay, Yeah, it would be what a

251
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.240
question to ask your dad. Why did you to ask

252
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:04.879
him about more about if there was a catalyst event

253
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:08.039
that made him close up the entrance to the cave

254
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:10.639
under the house and get more info in that, that

255
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:11.840
would be really interesting.

256
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:15.000
Yeah, we'll have to ask him that I know when

257
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:19.440
we were young, we would chase the bats because bats

258
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:20.480
will come out of that cave.

259
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:26.159
Okay. The laughing that was heard from inside the house

260
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.840
or around the house, what kind of how would you

261
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:30.559
describe what kind of laugh It was.

262
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:40.799
Kind of like a child's laughter. It didn't sound like

263
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:42.879
an adult. It sounded more like a child laughing.

264
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:50.320
Okay, so a child's laughter kind of Was it low pitched?

265
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:51.039
High pitched?

266
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.519
Oh, it was more like medium pitched. It might have

267
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:00.360
been more like a middle aged child. Maybe not super

268
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:02.879
young with squeaky squeaky voice, but the middle aged.

269
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.559
Sure. The shadows that were seen inside the house, how

270
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:09.519
tall were the shadows or was it just like you know,

271
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:10.919
you wouldn't see much of it.

272
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:16.440
Well, sometimes it would go all the way from Florida ceiling.

273
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:21.039
It just depended on like we had done remodeling at

274
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:23.759
some point in the house, some of the shadows before

275
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:26.279
the remodeling where our kitchen was opened the living room,

276
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:28.679
so I could look straight from my bedroom all the

277
00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:30.559
way to the back door of our house. And so

278
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:32.399
that's where I would see some of the shadows and

279
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:36.919
they would be tall. And then that's also I would

280
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.960
the cabinet doors would open and close. It's just random

281
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:46.399
strange things that and I mean, one thing's funny. Tell

282
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:50.080
you backstory. The house that's sitting there is a double wide.

283
00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:55.440
It is not an old house, Okay, so I think

284
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.159
it has more to do to the land that is

285
00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:58.600
sitting on the houses.

286
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.559
Yes, we are getting there because I was sneaking my

287
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:05.039
way there that Yeah, so it's a double lde on

288
00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:08.440
the property is put on top of a cave system.

289
00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:14.880
Are there any other things that could be around this property,

290
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:19.079
perhaps old burial grounds things like that.

291
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.039
I'm not sure. I mean, it always could be a possibility.

292
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:29.559
Now I've heard. I don't have this, like, I haven't

293
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:31.680
researched to find out for one hundred percent, but I've

294
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:35.839
heard that where that house is, during the Civil War

295
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:42.079
there was like a small community that was there because

296
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:45.400
my neighbor's house is an old log cabin and they've

297
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.680
added to it over and over, and that log cabin

298
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:50.559
was around back in that time. And I've heard on

299
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:52.359
the back of the property, which this is one hundred

300
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:57.000
acres where my house sat, there is an old foundation

301
00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.680
like sitting on top of the hill way back in

302
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:00.559
the way woods.

303
00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:04.400
Do you know any specifics about what kind of community

304
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:04.799
it was.

305
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:09.480
I don't. I wanted to research into it, but I

306
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:13.319
haven't researched into that yet. I was just told that

307
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:16.119
that was that there was some kind of a community

308
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:19.079
back then. And I know there's a house close to

309
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:23.319
that that served as a hospital during the Civil War.

310
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:25.680
Is a really old big house.

311
00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:34.759
And how how far away approximately, Well, we gotta be.

312
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:39.000
Careful with as as as the crow flies. Maybe a

313
00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:41.440
mile or two from my house, Okay, gotcha.

314
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.960
So the shadows that you would see in the house,

315
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.880
what would what would approximately be the tallest they would

316
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:53.680
ever get? You had to give a height to them.

317
00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:55.839
Well, I mean they they could be about up to

318
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:57.519
eight feet because they would go all the way up

319
00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:00.559
to the ceilings, and we had eight foot ceilings, okay,

320
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:04.039
And you would just see them. They would move sometimes

321
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:06.039
you see it out of the corner. I sometimes you

322
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:07.960
could look and you just see the shadow move across

323
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:08.359
the wall.

324
00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:11.240
Do you know when the double wide was put on

325
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:11.839
the property.

326
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:19.119
Let's see, it was put on there, probably around nineteen

327
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:26.519
ninety okay, because we had a single wide there before

328
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:30.880
and we lived there. That the single wide probably got

329
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:35.880
put there around nineteen eighty six. Then we got the

330
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:36.799
double light after that.

331
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:42.240
For listeners that aren't familiar with that terminology, single wide

332
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:46.359
verse double wide applies to the width of the trailer.

333
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:55.440
Is that right? Yes? Okay, man, this is Derek. Yeah,

334
00:19:55.519 --> 00:20:00.759
I man, I can tell how you're There's a lot

335
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:02.440
of weird stuff going on with this one.

336
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:03.799
Oh there's more.

337
00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:08.200
I know, We're not We're not to the end of

338
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:12.920
it either. Yeah, I mean you keep going, man. Yeah.

339
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:15.559
Well another thing that happened, This one actually happened to me,

340
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:19.039
my brother and my mom. We were on the way

341
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:23.200
home from I used to be boy Scouts. We're on

342
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:24.960
the way home from my boy Scouts and this was

343
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:29.160
before the sighting, and we were turning off of one

344
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:34.799
of the highways and above us there was a UFO.

345
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:37.960
It was floating above us with no noises whatsoever, with

346
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.960
lights surrounding it, and it was circular shaped. We stopped

347
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.599
directly under it. My brother and mom got out and

348
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:48.039
looked up. I was sitting in the back seats. I

349
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.119
was looking out of the window, and I don't know

350
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:55.559
if the car wouldn't start or if it just hesitated,

351
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.519
but I know it took us a minute, and my

352
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:02.160
mom was yelling go go and so and my brother

353
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:06.119
was driving, and then finally we took off and left.

354
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:09.279
But I know that it made zero sound and it

355
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:11.839
was floating above us, right above the trees.

356
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:17.960
Was that a one time event with that UFO?

357
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:22.000
That was at one time event? Because I never saw

358
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:24.200
it again. And I though the reason I said earlier,

359
00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:26.880
when my dad's a skeptic, we told him that. He

360
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:33.880
said it was probably an airplane or a helicopter, and

361
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:36.160
my mom was like, that was not a helicopter.

362
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.200
I'm just going to say, for me, if I was

363
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.720
in that situation where I lived in a house with

364
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:47.319
shadows and there's a UFO and all this stuff going on,

365
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:50.039
people are hearing their voices called, I don't know how

366
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:52.680
long I would be a skeptic for. But unless maybe

367
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.200
he didn't really experience much himself, I mean.

368
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:01.759
I don't think he has experienced as much. I know

369
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:05.359
that a few people have heard the sounds in the house,

370
00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:10.160
but I've experienced the most of it. I don't know

371
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:14.880
if maybe I'm more sensitive to it.

372
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:17.880
Has anything ever been recorded inside the house?

373
00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:23.680
No, because I mean we didn't we didn't have video

374
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:26.960
cameras and anything like that, and like the video recording

375
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:31.759
didn't come to play till probably around two thousand and

376
00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:36.240
three because we didn't have the smartphones or anything exactly.

377
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:39.160
Yeah, And I think that's an important thing to bring

378
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:42.559
up because a lot of listeners are probably going to

379
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:44.440
be like, well, why aren't you just recording your film

380
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:47.839
because guys pecks in we didn't have that stuff, you know,

381
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:49.559
it's just didn't have it.

382
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:54.599
Yeah, because the UFO was probably in nineteen ninety two. Wow,

383
00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:58.160
And we didn't have a phone, like a cell phone

384
00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:01.359
at all then, and it like we just carried cameras

385
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:02.799
around with the cyber.

386
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:04.319
Are you guys religious at all?

387
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:08.519
Yeah? We are.

388
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:14.920
Was anyone brought in or anything utilized to try to

389
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:16.720
control what was going on in the house?

390
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:24.720
No, okay at that point, is like it was just

391
00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:26.519
me and my mom really at that one point that

392
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.920
experienced it, and my dad, like I said, was a skeptic,

393
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.039
So pretty much we just hawked it up to I

394
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:34.880
guess this is just what we live with.

395
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:44.880
M So I'm thinking through everything really quick. So the

396
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:49.039
main things that we're attributing to Bigfoot is the actual

397
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:53.799
sighting by yourself and the knocking on the side of

398
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:57.519
the house when you're alone. But also your mom heard

399
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:00.319
it once, which is interesting because you two are the

400
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:08.559
main ones that experience the other stuff too, right, Yes, yeah,

401
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:15.799
definitely super sensitive to stuff. Were there ever any conversations

402
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:19.960
with neighbors to see if they had experienced things that

403
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:21.519
were out of the ordinary as well?

404
00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:28.839
I don't think so. Now. One funny thing is I

405
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:31.839
don't remember very much in my childhood, and I've never

406
00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:36.519
really known why. I remember these instances that happened, but

407
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:41.599
for some reason, like I don't remember my childhood.

408
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:48.319
So I mean, this is way out of what I am,

409
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:54.680
you know, but just from what I've heard myself, hypothetically,

410
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:58.519
sometimes if there's a lot of trauma, maybe things can

411
00:24:58.559 --> 00:25:01.200
get blocked out of our memory. But I'm not trained

412
00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:03.519
in that field at all, right, but it could be

413
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:04.519
a possibility.

414
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:08.759
I've told my spells. I'm like, I just don't remember

415
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:11.440
my childhood, Like I can see bits and pieces of it,

416
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:13.880
and like I remember this stuff because it stands out,

417
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:16.359
but like the rest of it, and I'm just like,

418
00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:17.839
I don't remember.

419
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:23.440
Because you can look at it as potential trauma response,

420
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:26.519
but you could also if you were, you know, into

421
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.519
the UFO side, of things. Well, maybe then this is

422
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:35.960
a thing where potential memories got erased. Something happened and

423
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:39.319
we just don't remember it, or maybe it's just you

424
00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:42.319
might not have a good memory for that time of

425
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:44.680
your life, which is okay too. You said you had

426
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:45.440
a sister.

427
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:49.960
Right, I actually have five siblings.

428
00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:54.559
Okay, And did all of the siblings pretty much experience

429
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:57.559
these things as well? Or were there some that just

430
00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:59.039
didn't like your father.

431
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.079
Not that I know of. I haven't ever actually talked

432
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:06.000
to them about it. They're all older than me. I'm

433
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:09.400
the youngest, so some of them were moved out whenever

434
00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:12.839
we were experiencing everything. Now, I do know that my

435
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:14.799
brothers used to tell me that bigfoot was going to

436
00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:16.920
come into my window and look at me. So I'm

437
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:20.359
wondering if they saw something, they just never talked about it.

438
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:23.839
Okay, So was that before you had your sighting?

439
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:28.160
Yes, that was before. They always made sure that my

440
00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:29.279
bed was by the window.

441
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:34.519
That's nice of them. I know that that would be

442
00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:38.319
a really interesting conversation to Derek. I think, to be like, hey,

443
00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:41.920
did anything kind of leave it? You know, did anything

444
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:44.680
weird ever happen in the house that you guys remember

445
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:47.880
or you know, you could get really specific with the hey,

446
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:51.559
did you know did you guys actually see bigfoot or anything?

447
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:53.440
You know, it could be really interesting.

448
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:57.079
I think, yeah, I may have a chat with them,

449
00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:58.839
and then I can email you about it too.

450
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:06.039
So eventually you got old enough you left the house,

451
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:09.480
probably to go on and do your own thing as

452
00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:13.519
an adult. Did all the weird things you were experiencing

453
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:17.519
stop at that time or did you still experience stuff

454
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:21.519
even after going to other places?

455
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:28.319
I haven't experienced as much. I know in one house

456
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:32.519
we lived in, there was definitely spirits, but I haven't

457
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:35.079
experienced anything like what it was at that house.

458
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:40.799
Okay, so do you mind sharing, like what kind of

459
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:43.359
other things that have still been happening.

460
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:47.240
Well, in the one house we were in, I could

461
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:52.480
hear music, usually a classical music playing, but in that

462
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:56.599
house I had horrendous nightmares, like I would be laying

463
00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:59.680
in bed and something would wrap the blankets around me

464
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:02.599
and try to choke me in my dreams.

465
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:05.720
Yeah, m.

466
00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:13.119
I and I've had no experiences.

467
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:17.680
So current current location, you're good to go. Nothing, nothing's

468
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:18.599
weird is happening.

469
00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:22.920
No, and it's it's an older house too. The thing

470
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:25.759
it was built in twenties. But I haven't had any

471
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:32.200
experiences in this house. It's quiet and we're we're in

472
00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:34.279
the city, but we're kind of backed up to an

473
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:36.759
area of woods. But I mean, I haven't heard anything

474
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:38.519
here besides the occasional owl.

475
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.759
Southern Middle Tennessee. Is it well known for? Is there

476
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:49.480
a lot of Bigfoot activity that is known to happen

477
00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:52.039
in that area Tennessee?

478
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:54.640
From what I've heard from other people I've talked to,

479
00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:57.480
it is because I know something. There's a big photo

480
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:00.319
that lives up near me now that is that several

481
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:04.240
experiences and actually told me, and I know I can

482
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:07.000
share this because it was in his live that there

483
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:09.920
are neighbors of mom that have had experiences like where

484
00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:10.599
I used to live.

485
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:19.000
Oh really, Yes? Is that our mutual friend? Yes? Okay, cool, Yeah,

486
00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:22.240
that's awesome. I figured, like, yeah, when you talk to him,

487
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:25.599
it's gonna it's gonna be pretty intense because like he

488
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:29.200
has all that that info. But that's real that So

489
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:32.920
you're saying the original residence where all this weird stuff

490
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:35.759
is happening, where you grew up, there was a neighbor

491
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:42.599
that was also experiencing bigfoot activity yes, Oh nice.

492
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:45.160
I'm not sure of the year year range. We haven't

493
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:47.799
gone over the exact year range of the other experiences

494
00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:50.599
with the other neighbors. But he said, I'm not alone.

495
00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:52.480
Oh wow, that's awesome.

496
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.319
I mean, which it's it's beautiful country and it was

497
00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:59.880
all woods. We have creeks, we have ponds, there's big fields.

498
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.279
There's plenty of area for anything to survive out there.

499
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:06.359
Is there a potential food source as well in that area?

500
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:11.599
Others deer, there's turkeys, pretty much any animal you would

501
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:12.240
want out there?

502
00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:18.480
Would you would you ever want to see one again

503
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:23.200
or get a better look at what you saw that

504
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:23.680
that night.

505
00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:30.920
I think I would just to better understand it, because

506
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.759
I really don't feel like it wanted to hurt me.

507
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:37.319
I think it's more interested because you know, I told

508
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:40.400
you I heard the pacing in the woods. I never

509
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:42.160
felt like it was out to get me.

510
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:50.839
Oh man, this is this is It feels like this

511
00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:54.440
is getting to a really big story. It's it's extremely

512
00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:57.960
extremely interesting. I can't wait to I hope you do

513
00:30:58.079 --> 00:31:00.799
have some conversations if you feel comfort well enough having

514
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:05.480
them with siblings and your father. I feel like there's

515
00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:08.359
a lot a lot more to the story that you

516
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:11.839
just don't know yet be interested to hear what comes

517
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:12.440
from this.

518
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:15.759
And I wish I could talk to my mom more

519
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:17.920
because I knew that she had some of the same

520
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:20.680
but she actually passed away last years, so I can't

521
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:28.400
hear that. Oh thank you, But yes, I will have

522
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:33.319
some conversations with my family. I've always thought about going

523
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:36.119
camping out there again, but then part of me, like

524
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:38.759
part of me is still kind of a little scared,

525
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:41.000
but I would still like to go out there again.

526
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:46.720
It might be interesting. So I feel that there are

527
00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:52.799
certain individuals that do really kind of stir up, you know,

528
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:57.079
the stuff. Either you're just more sensitive to it, or

529
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:01.400
it says, oh, this guy's here, be interesting if you

530
00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:06.240
did go camping in that area, what might happen? Yeah,

531
00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:09.920
have you ever had anything happen when you've gone camping before?

532
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:15.640
We didn't really go camping much out there. I did

533
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:17.920
camp one time with my friend, but it was over

534
00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:21.920
on their property, but I don't remember anything actually happened. Then.

535
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:23.720
I think it's just a normal night. We had a

536
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:28.119
campfire and then we slept in a tent. Of course,

537
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:31.839
you hear the noises out in the woods. You feel

538
00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:35.359
like you hear things walking around, so you never know.

539
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:37.480
They could have been out there watching. Still, they just

540
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:38.839
didn't make themselves known.

541
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:47.200
Absolutely this area of southern Middle Tennessee. Would there also

542
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:51.279
be stories that would be passed around of other things

543
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:54.480
to look out for besides Bigfoot? Or was that the

544
00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:57.559
main cryptid for the area. We could say that.

545
00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:01.279
That's the main one that I've ever heard of. I

546
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:03.839
haven't heard of dog Man or any of the other

547
00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:05.720
cryptids being mentioned down here.

548
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:17.799
Gotcha, Derek, It's this has been just a really fascinating conversation,

549
00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:19.880
and I just want to say thank you for being

so open and sharing you know, what you experienced through

551
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:28.400
your your upbringing in that house. And I think there

552
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:31.640
might be some more info. We'll see, We'll see where

553
00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:33.200
it goes. But I just want to say thank you

554
00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:36.720
