“We were messed with by Bigfoot for 15 years in Alaska”

0:00 They could have grabbed me by the chest like a toy if it wanted to. It was huge, and it growled at us and you could feel it in your bones, everything, just you could feel it ripple through your body. My wife stopped and looked at me, just panicked, and she could tell I was just as panicked because it was like, Yeah, there's nothing I'm going to be able to do. I said, don't run, keep walking, get in the house. That's your only goal. Either you're listening to the Big Society podcast and I'm Jeremiah Viron.

1:30 let's get on with the show. Is this not working tonight? Oh my goodness. Oh yeah, Bill, I'm gonna call you back right now. I apologize. Let's see, this is going to take a minute. I am going to have to call him the old fashion way real quick. Okay, Hello, Hey Bill, Hey, who's this? Hey? This is Jeremiah. Oh hey Man, Hey, calling you back. Yes, I didn't have it set up right on my side, so it's my fault. But thank you so much, Colin. What's going on? Bill? I didn't get a chance to listen to your voicemail. Yeah, what you got?

2:17 I just basically rambled about there. It's a terrifying event to see these things. It's not a Harry and the Henderson's feeling. There's no warm fuzziness to it. Hold on one second, Bill, can someone in the chat let me know if you can hear Bill as well? In addition to me, I just want to make sure they can hear you too, Bill. Right on, I'm calling from Keene, Alaska right now. Oh, Frank Key and I Alaska? Yeah? Oh wow? How aboute miles away from Port Chaplain? Where the Sasquad saying everybody else, you're two miles away from Port Chatham? Twenty miles all right? So they can hear you loud and clear? So build the floor's years? What have you experienced uff there?

3:05 Oh my god? What it started? Before I even knew what Harryman or sasquatch or Bigfoot was, I was six years old and one was looking in my bedroom window on the second floor of our house, which was eighteen feet off the ground, and its whole face and head filled the window, and I freaked. I counted on my brothers and sisters door, and they were like, oh see mom and dad. So I ran to my mom and dad and that's when it started. But my wife and I have seen him recently many times over the years. It's been a That's part of the reason we moved from Fairbanks to Keenai. Did you move to get away from them or to get closer to them? We moved to get away from those specific ones. Okay, they had pretty much proven that they weren't afraid of anything I had doc or in defense of my property. They did what they wanted, They walked through there when they wanted, They did what they wanted.

4:11 We got I have four dogs, and between the four of them, they're almost seven hundred pounds of dogs. And the dogs would just be terrified, absolutely workless for any kind of protection at that moment when they're hiding behind you. They don't do that for bear or moose or anything else. They'll go aadly go after those. They would chase my dogs back to the house. What kind of dogs we've seen. I've got an English Massive that's two hundred and forty eight pounds, a Great Dane that's two hundred pounds, a Saint Bernard that's one hundred and sixty pounds, in a half husky mix that's one hundred pounds. He's lotdog. They all think they're lapdogs, but they're not.

5:02 But they're huge. And to see them go after a grizzly fearlessly and then tower from stuff that we couldn't see, it was terrifying. It was like I had know. The only thing I could tell my wife was we were walking from We had no running water at our house. We were building it, so we would go to my mother's house to bathe, and then at night we walk home. And we had this one hundred foot long trail that snaked up through the woods, and there was one about ten feet from us. In the dark. You could see its hand because we had left the kitchen light on in our house, and my mom had her porch light on, so we had plus cdy come outs of light. But you could see its hand and it was well bigger than my chest. It could have grabbed me by the chest and picked me up. I'm five six. It could have grabbed me by the chest like a toy if it wanted to.

6:11 It was huge, and it growled at us, and you could feel it in your bones, everything just you could feel it ripple through your body. And I told my wife, because my wife stopped and looked at me, just panicked, and she could tell I was just as panicked, because it was like, yeah, there's nothing I'm going to be able to do. But stall I told her. I said, don't run, keep walking. Get in the house. That's your only goal. So she turned and she started walking towards the house and walked about fifty more feet up the trail and then boom into the house and slammed the girl behind her. So I finally started walking, and it was all I could do to stand there for fifteen seconds to give my wife time to get into the house. And then I started walking and it let out this grumble and then you could hear it take off in the dark, and as soon as I heard it running away from me, I ran away from it. I know it wasn't running away from me. It wasn't afraid of me. It was just done scaring me.

7:31 But they seemed to get off on scaring people. So we finally we put up with it for fifteen years and left. We couldn't deal with it no more. So you had encounters like that for fifteen years. What was the thing that broke the camel's back? Because if you put up with fifteen years, it would have had to been something wild that happened that made you're like, okay, this is it. Well, the slapping on the house where it would shape the whole house and knock pictures off the walls, and the growling and the constant terrorizing. They seem to like to scare the dogs a lot to just keep the dogs in the house. No, we're out here, we're going to hang out here, we're going to do what we want.

8:16 You're stuck in there. And because you couldn't drag them out, you physically could not drag them outside, they would not go, and more often than not they would block the door with their bodies. Two or three dogs sometimes hold the door shut just so I couldn't go outside to have a cigarette. I took that as my something from God right there. It was like, yeah, no, I'm not going to open that door. I don't need a cigarette that bad. Yeah, those regrets today. Did you ever get a good clear look at the face of the creature? I yes, I've seen several of them, much closer than I ever want to be to one. Again. I can tell you that there's skin varies, but they all look human in the face, human enough to recognize there's part human in there, some kind of human. It's not all demon or whatever the hell they are. Are you able to describe the features that are in your memory from what you've seen over there? Like one they really like to mess with this. His skin was so black, it was almost blacker than black.

9:35 It's hard to describe because he had these his eyes would change colors. You'd see sometimes his eyes were white with a blue iris, and then white with a red iris, and brown it was the same thing, but its eyes always changed, and sometimes at night you could see red eyes like eating light out of the woods around the house. And it was like, yeah, no, we're not going outside tonight. We're done. We lived in the woods compared to what a lot of people think the woods are. How far away was the nearest neighbor by then they'd opened up a subdivision. And I had warned all my neighbors that lived in the immediate area where I had seen them, look around you when you're outside, don't don't just assume you're safe.

10:28 Look around you and you're walking around, especially at night. And one of our neighbors had an incident where one roared outside of his house. And his house was one hundred and fifty yards from mine. And I'm sitting on my front porch at three o'clock in the morning having a cigarette. You're having a pool tournament, and I had to smoke outside, so I sat on the porch. I had a bench, and I heard this crack, like an entire tree just broke. And then I heard that again and again, and then this war came and you could feel it heew, like a wave in the ocean just splashed up against you. Have you ever heard any baby cries in the woods? Yes? Really, right in Fairbanks, Alaska, we were my house. I built my house seventy five feet from my mom's house so that I could take care of her, because I had taken care of her all my life. She was suffering, hurting, and so we built our house seventy five feet away so that we could get to her quicker.

11:52 So there was no drive time, no weight, no lag. It was like bam, we're there. And we had all just got done eating Thanksgiving dinner. It was probably fifteen or twenty of us cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, whatnot, and everybody walked outside to stretch their legs, and there was a warm night for Fairbanks. It was like twenty five above then, and we heard this baby crying, and several of my aunts and uncles were like, whoa, We're going to get that baby, and it was like, wow, no, you're not. Nobody's leaving the yard. There's no reason nobody left a baby in those woods. I promise you, we'll go look from upstairs with flashlights before we go walking out there.

12:48 And then everybody got terrified and just started bum rushing the house all at once, and you get two people at a time through the doors, So everybody just lauded up on the outside of the front porch and me and my uncle stopped because we both had cigarettes, so we couldn't go inside, so we stopped right outside the door. And it continued for a while, and then it changed to owl noises and bird noises that you wouldn't hear in the dark, and it just it got terrifying all of a sudden. Other people, What was it that became that made it become terrifying for you all of a sudden. There's like a pressure that they seemed to push off that I don't know. It just it's scary because they're there and they either know they're there, so there they I don't know what it is, but they put and they make this pressure that you can feel, and it you just automatically or terrified. It might be into I don't know, but because I know for them to be able to rattle their bones when they growled at my wife and I, which on more than one occasion, there's got to be some level of infrasound there because nothing else does that. Was that a one night

14:20 occurrence where you had the baby cries and then you heard the birds that shouldn't be there, and or did that happen multiple times? That happened multiple times over the years in that area, it was got off and on. I'm fifty five now. I didn't realize what was going on till I was in my twenties because I had no grasp but what could be out there? What is out there? What was it that kind of turned the lights on where you realize that, hey, this is what I've been dealing with, is something way outside what I can control. My father and I were moose hunting one time and we had four by a long ways into this mountain valley.

15:11 He didn't want to risk going farther and getting stuck and having to walk that much farther out. We ardored around and turned the truck around to make a good flat kickoff area when we were going to leave, and we walked even farther into that valley on foot, and I seen his shoulder of one as it was going behind this huge spruce tree, and I told my dad, I said, there goes a moose right there. And my dad was already like straight up like something got his attention. And I turned and looked at him, and he lowered his gun down. He didn't aim, but he was pointing to the gun in that general direction, and he said that was the moose. Let's go. And then I realized what I thought was the butt of a moose was the shoulder. It was probably about nine foot off the ground, rolling behind this big spruce tree. And to see my dad scared was in an event because you didn't ever see him afraid. He fought in World War two, in the Korean War. He was not that kind of guy. He was John Wayne kind of guy. Didn't get scared.

16:30 And that really made me nervous. So we backed our way out for a long way. It's probably a quarter of a mile before we turned and just booked it. And we got back to the truck and I asked him, I said, what did you see? And he goes, you've seen the same thing I seen And I said, alls I seen was its back. He goes, I seen it looking at us. And I was like, oh, brilliant to say. We never most hunted in that valley again? Are you able to share? What is there a name for that valley? Or I don't even know? Okay, we would just take off in his truck and go for miles. And when you want to get big moose, you got to go deep into the woods, deep deep miles. This was before cell phones or anything, so I had no GPS or anything. Is like just nothing but rolling hills up there in Fairbanks. You drive forty or fifty miles out of town and start driving into the mountains and rolling hills.

17:41 Everything looks the same. Oh sure, yeah, definitely. Something I hear a lot from different interviews when it comes to Alaska is that the Sasquatch can be extremely aggressive up there. Is that something that you've run into from things that you've heard, My wife and I had encountered seemed to be more aggressive than not. They weren't afraid to let you know they were there. Yeah, and they weren't afraid of you at all. We were barbecuing one night outside of my mom's garage, like I'm remembering sing for Ma, because we were leaving. We were done, We couldn't be there no more. Mom has passed away years before and it was time to go, and so we were doing one last barbecue and party at the garage and one ran by the front of the garage. Well, my wife was sitting out there and scared her so bad. She ran into the garage and closed the door and said we're going home now. And she was ghost white wow and alls I caught of it was like a gray and white and black haired leg running by.

18:56 But it shook the concrete foundation of our garage. That's wild. Did you happen to get any pictures or recordings of any kind. I've got boatloads of pictures and stuff that The strangest thing is everything around these hairyman or sasquage is crisp and clear in the picture that they're always blurry? Right? That is usually the case, isn't it. Yeah. I used to have a photo lab, and I think that they can mess with an electrical field. So if you're using film, you can get a crisp, clear picture. But I think they can do something to cameras. I don't know, but they didn't like the infrared light produced by the cameras. They would skirt around that light. They would show up in the middle of the day sometimes, and it just amazes me how some people refuse to see what's really going on around us. Oh sure, definitely, would you even though they're blurry? Do you have any available if to maybe email to I get email them to you, but it'd take me a little while because I would have to take them off my computer, put them on my phone, and then send them to you. I don't have internet where I live. Oh, okay, if

20:30 you are able to, I would. I think it'd be really cool to see them. I appreciate it, but only if you have the time to do it. So I got Oh, I am forced to retired. Okay, so you've got some time. I spend all my time in my friend orch. Sorry, my dogs are going off, so remind me. Are you currently having interactions right now? The big the last one I had, thankfully, was three months ago, and he was fifty feet from me. I'm assuming it was a juvenile that looked young in the face. It was only about six foot tall, but it was built bigger than any linebacker I've ever seen, and it was pulling these branches down, looking at me on my porch with the same confused look I gave it, and as soon as we made eye contact, he turned and disappeared into the brush. If you had to categorize them as something, sometimes people will say, look more like an ape or it looked more like a human. Would you be able to do either of those or would you have to use a certain one I've ever seen looks more human than I had a very humanesque quality to them, if that's even a word. I gotta do something my thoughts having though, that's all right, he's on the other side of the house, which shows me something is going inside it out Samson, Hey, Samson, get down,

22:08 hush now. Hard to tell a seven and a half foot dog when he's standing on his hind legs to hush now. Yeah, hopefully there wasn't a big foot out there, right, I don't. We've heard some weird noises. I just I believe in God and I pray when they're dumb, you can actually rebuke them in the name of the Lord and they will run away from you. Really, yeah, even if they're being terrifying, just like feed away from you interest. I don't know what they are, but I know they got to be more human than people think. They're not apes by any means. I'm sure there are different varieties of them, given the descriptions from all around the world. But it's terrifying a band every time. It's never fuzzy and happy. I can't imagine going through the stuff that you've gone through before you moved. That just is really that is wild. I don't know what I would I feel bad for your wife. Definitely. Yeah.

23:18 My wife is tougher than nails. She's five to two and just tough as nails. Because I don't think I've met another woman in my life that would stay around something for stay in a marriage, in a household that long, with something that terrifying going on all the time, all the time. Yeah, over the years, that's a long time. I give her a lot of credit. I call her my big burly wife. But she's five to or one hundred and twenty pounds. She'll stand up to any bigfoot for sure. That's great. Oh, Bill, I appreciate you calling in. This has been a fun chat. Please keep me up to date. If you experience anything else and send me I will I will. Just called in on a lim it was like, yeah, time to say something about it.

24:14 I appreciate you sharing your Alaska bigfoot encounters with us. It's been a good time. Thank you so much, Bill, Thank you, it was nice talking to you. We'll talk later, all right, good night, all right. That was Bill from Alaska. Fun to talk to you. Bill, Thank you so much. Here at Big for Society, our goal is to provide a platform for those that have encountered Bigfoot to share their encounter and a safe and respected environment, but we need to hear your story. If you've experienced something that you just can't explain, please send me an email at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com. Then we can start the conversation. And I know a lot of you have not shared your encounter at all. It's been twenty years and it's time that you get this off your chest and then you can get some well deserved for rest because I know you haven't been sleeping.

25:12 I understand what you're going through, and I appreciate every one of you listening
