Season 1

What happens when a Missouri landowner decides not to fear Bigfoot — but to befriend them? In this intense and emotional episode, we sit down with Dave, a rural homesteader from northern Missouri, whose property has become the stage for over a decade of Sasquatch encounters. From machetes mysteriously returned after use, to a Sasquatch peeking around the garage and petting his dogs — Dave shares astonishing firsthand experiences, including infrasound attacks, vocal mimicry, and sightings of multiple generations of these elusive beings.



Plus, hear from Ryan in Virginia, who was followed by two towering creatures for 12 hours after getting lost in Shenandoah National Park — and the shocking confirmation from a rescue worker that “they’re out here.” This episode spans Missouri to Virginia, from playful encounters to terrifying confrontations. If you think Bigfoot is just a myth… listen to this.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.839
You're listening to Bigle the Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron.

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.639
In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to

3
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:08.400
bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've

4
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:12.759
seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers

5
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.719
to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.719
and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.

7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.000
These are the voices of the people who've lived it.

8
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.440
To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.120
just might change the way you see the woods forever.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.479
So stay with us, all right, Big the Society. You've

11
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.200
got Dave here today. Dave is an individual. Are you

12
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:38.079
still from northern Missouri?

13
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:45.960
David? Well, yeah, for I'm living lots of activity, gotcha.

14
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:49.119
Dave and I talked a few years ago. It was

15
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.119
for it wasn't for a public interview, but I think

16
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.920
it would be great to kind of get Dave's story

17
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.560
out there because it's a very, very interesting one. You've

18
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.439
had a lot of activity over the years, correct, Dave.

19
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.319
Oh yeah, I mean I had my first sighting that

20
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:15.359
was April second, twenty twelve, and that's where the adventure begins. Really,

21
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.359
I live out in the country. I got ten acres,

22
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:24.200
and you know, you buy an old place, you end

23
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:28.000
up with lots of stuff, lots of junk to get

24
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:34.439
rid of. And probably about three fourths of the property

25
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:40.719
is in forest, so there's a lot of you know,

26
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:45.400
there's trees that are down from storms. There's trees that

27
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.359
are just down because they were old and died. And

28
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.319
I bought a wood stove, and I figured, might as

29
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.439
well instead of just put it in a big pile

30
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:58.760
and woo burn it up, might as well heat my house.

31
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.599
I've been out cutting some firewood and a stand of

32
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:09.000
trees and it's primarily oak, and they were all nice size,

33
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.400
you know that they didn't mean to split or anything.

34
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.439
And I'd been whacking away on them for you know,

35
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.759
a good part of an afternoon, so I had plenty

36
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.159
of it. I just did all the cutting at one time,

37
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.360
and I was heading out with my pickup to go

38
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.599
load up a bunch and you know, put it in

39
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:36.280
the basement, and I'm in my truck. I round the

40
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:42.439
barn and I'm on the hilltop and you know where

41
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.400
my property is. It's kind of I don't know, it's

42
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.039
kind of rectangular shape, but like the house and the

43
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.479
barn are on like a finger of land the way

44
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:57.039
the hill is, and then it drops off on both sides.

45
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:01.719
On the west side right even with the barn is

46
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.919
the face of the dam to a little pond. I

47
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:11.360
got and anyway, I'm out and I'm gonna go because

48
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.560
there's kind of almost I got like a cul de

49
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.840
sac to turn around, so I was going to turn

50
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.159
around there and then pull as close as I could

51
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.599
to the trees too, you know, load up stuff. Well,

52
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.159
I'm kind of along. I look and I see a

53
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:33.919
big black, dark sheep standing there right in the edge

54
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:38.879
of the trees. And I'm like, no, nah, no way,

55
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:45.319
you know, And I kinda turned to pay attention to

56
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.280
where I was driving because I didn't want to run

57
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:50.879
over this locust tree because they got thorns. You get

58
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:56.000
a flat tired off of anyway, I look to do

59
00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:00.479
that and do my little looped loop and look back

60
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:06.439
and it was gone. Well, I parked the truck, and

61
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:10.840
you know, I'm only about maybe one hundred feet away

62
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.400
from where I had seen this, and I looked over

63
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.759
my shoulder a lot, and I only took about half

64
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.920
the wood I had cut because I didn't know them.

65
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.959
And then two days later I went back to look

66
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.120
for tracks, and then I realized what I thought was,

67
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.240
you know, like probably six feet tall would have been

68
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:36.560
eight feet tall. And I couldn't find any tracks because

69
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:42.040
you know, it was covered heavily and leaves the forest floor.

70
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.079
You know, you step on it and it's like a sponge,

71
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:50.279
it'll come back over time. And I wasn't there soon

72
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.160
enough to look for tracks, and I wasn't going to

73
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.199
look for tracks on the day that I had seen whatever.

74
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:03.720
And now what I saw is, you know, it was black,

75
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:09.120
and it didn't have the big giant broad shoulders, and

76
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:13.560
it looked pretty much man shaped. I didn't see a face,

77
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.800
but its back could have been towards me. I didn't.

78
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.160
I couldn't see any facial features. But then you know,

79
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:30.399
farm truck, the windshield wasn't exactly spotles neither. So that

80
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:35.600
was pretty much my first encounter. And I had talked

81
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:37.319
with the game word and you know, because I was

82
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:39.959
curious if anybody else seeing anything like that, and he

83
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:45.600
said no, at least nobody had told him. But he goes, well,

84
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.519
they're not they're not a protective species. So my advice

85
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.560
is to see one to shoot it in the face.

86
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.000
I said to the guy, you know, what's wrong with you?

87
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.399
Necessarily wasn't. It didn't threaten me, it didn't hurt me,

88
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:06.639
it didn't do anything other than just being there. So

89
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.399
I'm not going to shoot it. So anyway, I'm you know,

90
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.480
tried reporting it and got a hold of some big

91
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.000
foot groups and got a hold of this one that

92
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:25.480
David Pilates's the Polities is involved with, and I met

93
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.360
a man named Richard who became a mentor towards me,

94
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:36.319
and you know, I just I thought, you know, about

95
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:40.759
this house. I paid for it, no mortgage. I thought

96
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.519
everything would be great, and it's like, well, you can't

97
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:48.600
just get rid of it. You can't just leave. And

98
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:50.800
I thought, well, I'm not going to live in fear.

99
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:55.480
Maybe I can make friends with these things. So I

100
00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:00.439
reached out to him, and that's kind of how the

101
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:06.319
adventure began. And over the years, you know, I had

102
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:10.360
a lot of encounters, had them break into the house

103
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:15.000
a few times, raided the kitchen a couple of times,

104
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:22.759
and one night they forced open the basement door and

105
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:28.319
my machete was gone. The next day, I find a machete,

106
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.920
the sheath to the machette and laying on the basement floor,

107
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.319
and machete laying out in the driveway, and it's kind

108
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.920
of a little bent up from the use, but at

109
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:46.000
least it was returned. And I'd had other things go missing.

110
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.680
I had a cigarette lighter go missing, you know, just

111
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:56.120
just a big I had a file go missing. I

112
00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:00.560
had a hatchet get taken. And I had a couple

113
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:06.000
of rusty machetes that got borrowed and came back and

114
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:09.879
they had, you know, you could see some hobbyist use

115
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.360
of them. There was a guy living with me for

116
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:17.600
a while, used to help me out and stuff. One

117
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:23.040
time he had a machete and he forgot it and

118
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:26.959
it was by these the wild grape vines you get,

119
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.480
and it was out there and there was one probably

120
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.679
a bought as stick as my forearm, and he said

121
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:41.000
he seemed that it was cut with one hit through

122
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.840
a vine like that. And then he found a machette.

123
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.840
It was probably about fifteen feet from where it had been,

124
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:51.320
and he found some tracks. He didn't he really didn't

125
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.720
tell me about the tracks till later, but he said

126
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.799
there were probably fourteen inches. There was another time where

127
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:05.080
were out my neighbor's property. We'd been cutting wood, and

128
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.360
he left the machete and it was more more sword

129
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.000
like than a machette, and it was un a stainless

130
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:17.279
steel made out of some ten gauge, which is a

131
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:22.200
fairly heavy metal, you know, as far as the thickness,

132
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.399
and he had kind of hit it on the edge

133
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:27.639
of an oak stump and it was like at a

134
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.919
forty five degre angle. Well, when he come back to

135
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:36.120
find it, the machete was in this stump which was

136
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:40.679
probably about fourteen inches across red oak, and it was

137
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:46.639
probably four inches of wood past the back edge of

138
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.519
the machette. Took him probably ten minutes to get it

139
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:52.480
and pulled out of it. You menage the force it

140
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:57.679
took to do that. Now. I've spotlighted him a few times.

141
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:02.679
One time I was you know, a lot of what

142
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:08.360
I did was on my back deck. I had been

143
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:12.879
back there and I would whistle to the females and

144
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:19.120
they would reply with bard owl calls. Now, the thing

145
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.879
is that at that time there were three of them

146
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:26.399
that were making the bard dowl calls, and each one

147
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:32.399
would do a slightly different call, you know, and if

148
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.440
they were birds, you'd think that I'll do they'd all

149
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.879
sing the same song. That's kind of how I figured

150
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:41.240
out that there are three females, and I'd whistle and

151
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:44.399
they'd do their calls back in this one night, I

152
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:52.399
kind of heard some motion over over by where the

153
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:58.559
old chicken coop was, so I hit my spotlight and

154
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:02.200
I saw a bright green knives and on the head

155
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:07.480
and it duck down. So then I cut my spotlight

156
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:12.759
and I kind of like one, two three, and I

157
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.720
hit it again, and there it was. It was standing.

158
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:23.879
It had apparently been over eaten black grassberries, and it

159
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:27.639
was I'm assuming it was female. It was about five

160
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:34.000
foot tall, had you know, real stringy hair. I guess

161
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:36.759
you'd kind of destry it almost like a string mop.

162
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:42.120
And the bangs were cut. There's face there was facial hair,

163
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:45.840
you know, not like a long beard, but there was

164
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:51.039
hair covering the face except for all you could see

165
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:55.440
skin was like right around the eyes and nose and

166
00:11:55.519 --> 00:12:01.279
everything else was hair covered. Man, And it appeared that

167
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.360
the bangs were cut. Now, I don't know how they

168
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.759
do that. You know, it might be a piece of

169
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:12.159
broken glass whatever, you know, but they are. But they're

170
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.639
all like that. It had a pretty good head of hair.

171
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.320
Now to me, the head didn't appear comb like, it

172
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:24.559
was more round. Eyes glowed bright green, and it was,

173
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:30.360
you know, it's shoulders were kind of broad, but not overly,

174
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:36.519
and you know, it was I guess you'd say it

175
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:40.360
was kind of like a like a skinny kid. It

176
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:43.919
wasn't overly muscular, so I'm assuming it had to have

177
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:49.679
been a female, although I didn't see brass. And it

178
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:54.000
acted like it wanted to go on all fours, but

179
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.480
I think it had a handful of berries, so it

180
00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:01.519
was kind of going between was standing upright and wanting

181
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.440
to walk on all fours, and it went off towards

182
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:10.679
where an adult female had been calling from. You know,

183
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:16.159
just stuff like that. Another time, it was about ten

184
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:19.919
at night and I heard where it sounded like somebody

185
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:26.039
was maybe messing around with some stuff that might have

186
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.919
been my neighbors. He parked, Oh he used to do

187
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.679
the demotion derby and stuff, and he parked the car

188
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:37.360
and he had a car trail there, and it was

189
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.120
an old camper and some stuff kind of right along

190
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:43.360
the property line. Would being a good neighbor, and went

191
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.120
to go check and went down spotlight and didn't see nothing.

192
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.120
Turned around there and driveway, I backed and so I

193
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:54.080
wouldn't shine my lights in their house or anything. And

194
00:13:54.159 --> 00:14:00.799
on the way back, where there was clearing kind of

195
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:04.759
right by the property line, I spot lightened and I

196
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:09.440
saw something. And when I stopped the truck, the dust

197
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:11.559
kind of come up, and in the spotlight it was

198
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:13.279
kind of hard to tell. I was unsure what the

199
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:17.919
heck I was looking at. There was big and as

200
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:21.279
dust kind of went down, I seen it was an

201
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.679
adult male and he was probably about forty feet from me.

202
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:29.399
Black skin was gray, and again all you could see

203
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:34.519
of his face was glowing green eyes and the gray skin,

204
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.080
you know, right right around his nose and eyes. And

205
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:41.919
again he had a thick head of hair. He had

206
00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:47.120
trimmed bangs, you know that'd be trimmed about to his eyebrows.

207
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:52.559
And he was on all fours and on all fours,

208
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:58.080
i'd estimate his head was probably eight feet off the ground.

209
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:07.159
And his arms were like huge, I'd say they his

210
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.799
arms were as big around as me. And I'm not skinny,

211
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:15.440
and I'm kind of fat, and you know, well, I

212
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.879
mean I can fit into a thirty four gene but

213
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:24.039
I got a pretty good belly, and so I'd say

214
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.360
his biceps were probably, you know, pretty close thirty four

215
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:35.480
thirty six inches round. And when I realized what I

216
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.000
was looking at, I laid my three fifty seven on

217
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:41.440
the seat because I didn't I didn't think it would

218
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:46.480
do me any good. And I tried to talk to him,

219
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:50.879
and he looked really nervous because he'd look at me

220
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:53.159
and then he'd look ahead, and he'd look at me

221
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.960
and he'd look ahead. And I just kind of said

222
00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:59.240
to him, I said, you know, can we live in peace?

223
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:01.240
I said, I don't want to hurt you, and I

224
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:06.240
sure don't want you to hurt me. And then he

225
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:15.440
just real gracefully moved on all fours and got onto

226
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.679
my property. And I pulled forward a little bit try

227
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.799
to get better look, you know, keep track of him,

228
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:26.639
and I couldn't find it. So there was kind of

229
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:28.720
a git there. He could have laid down, or he

230
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:32.080
could have went downhill towards my pond. I don't know

231
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.840
that pulled up in the yard right up next to

232
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:39.960
the house and went inside. But I've had a lot

233
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:43.440
of other things happen. I've been hit with infrasound before.

234
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:47.639
I didn't like it. The second time it happened, they

235
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:50.799
get to hear my knean grace and it didn't happen again.

236
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:56.279
But I've had researchers out here and they've all had

237
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.960
different things happen. They might not have seen them, but

238
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.359
they were either hit with infrasound, they got some wild recordings.

239
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:10.119
They went around, found different trees, structures, you know, trees

240
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:14.359
twisted off at about nine feet above the ground. I

241
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.680
mean stuff that you know was obvious sign. They were

242
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.039
all convinced they were here. I've had some return I've

243
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:27.920
had some I don't ever want to return different reasons. Yeah,

244
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:31.519
it's just been kind of a wild and crazy adventure.

245
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:35.839
And there was one that I got to pretty much

246
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:41.359
watch till he reached maturity. From min estimating where he

247
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:44.759
was when I first seen and he was just a

248
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.519
little kid, probably five years old. It's six feet tall,

249
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:53.240
and he grew I would say six inches a year

250
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:57.279
until he reached maturity. And then once he hit adulthood,

251
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:03.720
I haven't seen him, and that's probably four years. But

252
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.359
he used to come around when I'd go back and

253
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:10.160
forth with the girls and the calling and stuff, and

254
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.880
I caught him peeking around the edge of my garage,

255
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:17.960
you know, fifteen feet away. And I believe he's the

256
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.200
one that went into the house. I believe he's the

257
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:24.240
one that used to borrow my stuff. We've caught him pet,

258
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:28.000
I mean pet and my dogs. My dogs were familiar

259
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:31.559
with him. They weren't afraid of him, you know, they'd

260
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:35.240
given him away before where I'd caught him in the

261
00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:38.640
spotlight going away. Because dogs run to the side of

262
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:43.119
the pan like they're all excited, wagging their tails, you know,

263
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:45.720
like pet me and kind of barking a little bit.

264
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.079
It wasn't in a fierce manner. It was like, hey,

265
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:52.880
you know, we're here, pat me, like they're happy to

266
00:18:52.920 --> 00:19:00.440
see somebody. So he'd befriended my dogs. And and there's

267
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:04.720
a lot of those kind of stories, Dave Is.

268
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.480
It is a fascinating story. I have definitely a few

269
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:10.640
questions I want to ask you about, you know, what

270
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:16.039
you have brought up so far. You mentioned that your

271
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.759
your thought was, well maybe I can make friends with them.

272
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:23.960
Were there were there ways that you think were effective.

273
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:26.480
Were you able to make friends with them or how

274
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:27.440
did you go about that?

275
00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:34.119
Well, I mean, we like buddies, there anything. But I'm

276
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:36.440
not afraid of them. I'm not afraid to walk up

277
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.880
to them. You know. I started out with, you know,

278
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:43.440
kind of trying to take a Jane Goodall approach, and

279
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:46.480
I have some goodies and stuff out for them and

280
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:50.519
they'd take them. And I tried a lot of different stuff,

281
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:54.759
and I actually had the female sing for me once

282
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:58.920
and then that kind of freaked me out. You know,

283
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:04.440
It's sounded almost like you know, it was two of them,

284
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:08.000
but it almost sounded like a tropical love bird song

285
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.640
or something. And I thought, oh, no, have I been too

286
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.039
nice and kind? And I thought, well, what if one

287
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.920
of them snatches me, you know and brings me home,

288
00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:23.599
what's Daddy going to say? And if he don't approve,

289
00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:31.039
I'm a dead man. Right. It was kind of scary

290
00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:35.279
in a way, you know, but I tried different things,

291
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:40.200
and like one time, what I did is a little gross.

292
00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:43.799
But you know how women, I like, if their man's

293
00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:46.119
out of town, they'll keep a dirty T shirt to

294
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:52.079
his and sleep with it just because it smells like him. Yeah,

295
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:55.400
it was summer and I had this T shirt and

296
00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:00.480
I was working outside and you know, it's sweat in

297
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:02.440
it until it was wet, and then you'd go in

298
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:06.599
the house and get a fresh, clean, dry shirt because

299
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:10.440
the one you were wearing just you know, a full

300
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:13.839
sweat well, I'd let it dry out and put it

301
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:16.160
back on next day. I wanted to get my scent

302
00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:19.279
on it really good. So I did that for three

303
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.359
days in a row to where I know, sweat till

304
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:28.279
it was pretty damp and wet, and then I kind

305
00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:31.480
of left it laying on the log where i'd leave

306
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:33.839
them goodies. You know, a lot of times I'd have

307
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.319
like a stew can or something and I'd leave them

308
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:40.440
a little bit of whatever I was eating, a little

309
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:43.759
bit of dog food on it, and they'd take it.

310
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:50.839
And I let this shirt just to see what would happen.

311
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:57.599
And what did happen was, you know, I found I

312
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:01.160
had had the shirt leant. I had one of those

313
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:05.680
t handle shovels, you know for digging dirt, and I

314
00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:08.160
had it in the dirt so that the shovel was

315
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:12.000
standing up and I kind of had the T shirt

316
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:20.279
hanging on that. Now. When I came back the following day,

317
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:25.079
the T shirt was over on this big log oak

318
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:28.039
log that was probably thirty inches across. It was laying

319
00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:31.200
on its side, and it was where I was putting

320
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:37.079
goodies out for him. Anyway, the shirt was all wet,

321
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:39.920
and I thought, hmm, so I picked it up and

322
00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:41.880
smelled it because I wanted to see if you know,

323
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:45.319
maybe a nail pee down it or something. But no,

324
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:49.079
it was all wet and the best I can figure,

325
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.119
you know, after three days aware and it it was

326
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:54.680
kind of shtinky. So I think they must have went

327
00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:56.839
up to the pond and kind of ensed it out

328
00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:03.079
and put it back back there. Okay, you know, I mean,

329
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:10.119
it's all experiment and communicate, trying to communicate, and that's

330
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:13.319
just something i'd tried. Another thing I did is when

331
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:18.319
I put stuff out for them, I would often have

332
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:24.000
raw eggs in the shell. Now it seemed like if

333
00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:29.440
they got to it, you wouldn't find any egg shells,

334
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:37.559
and if a critter got to it, you'd find shells there,

335
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:41.880
because you know, like like a raccoon or a fox

336
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:44.839
or coyote or something, they're going to just eat the

337
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:50.079
eggs right on the spot. Even a possum or skunk,

338
00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:53.240
they're going to eat them right there. They're not going

339
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:55.960
to carry them off or save them something. They're just

340
00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:58.319
going to gobble them up where they find it, you know,

341
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:04.240
so it's easy to tell. And you know, that's something

342
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:11.079
that the bigfoot are are only able to get seasonally,

343
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:15.359
unlike us and we buy eggs year round. They can't.

344
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.359
So that's kind of a treat to them, especially when

345
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:21.240
you give it to them when you checked the tang

346
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:24.799
like they can't get it. I had a lot of

347
00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:32.640
other different stuff happened sightings. About two weeks ago, my

348
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:35.880
wife and I were out on the front porch. She

349
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:38.920
had said that she like sit out on the front

350
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:42.720
porch a lot of times, and she got she's been

351
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:48.240
collecting kitty cats since she came here, and anyway, she

352
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.480
likes watching cats and just sitting outside enjoying the weather.

353
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:56.759
And anyway, she's been noticing in the tree line across

354
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:00.799
the road and something black moving around. She said, between

355
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.839
three and four in the afternoon, she told me I

356
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.839
should come out there and check it out. Anyway, I

357
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:10.440
went out there and then I grabbed a sight of

358
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:15.880
binoculars and as I was in the doorway, I looked

359
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:19.480
across the road and I noticed there's one tree it

360
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:24.559
kind of looked like a head teaking around and That's

361
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:31.359
something I've noticed before when they were around where you

362
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:35.039
can't you don't see him move until they think you

363
00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:38.240
can't see him, and like out of your peripherial vision,

364
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:42.079
you'll catch movements. Sometimes you'll see a young one that'll

365
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:45.839
go from hiding behind one tree and then we'll go

366
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:49.200
to the next tree and they'll stand there and then

367
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:51.759
I'll just lean back enough so you know, I can

368
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:55.279
see you with one eye. I've seen that before, and

369
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:57.799
this was kind of like that, where there was one

370
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:01.599
probably hiding and a jube hidden behind a tree looking

371
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:05.839
and they do keep track of us and everything around.

372
00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:10.400
Because where I believe they live is not too far

373
00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:13.319
from our home. I've never been there because I ain't

374
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:18.079
going to go there because the last thing you want

375
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:24.200
to deal with is, you know, if they happened upon

376
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:27.000
when it's sleeping or something, you know, you don't want

377
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:30.880
to startle it because if it panics, who knows what

378
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:34.720
can happen when things get bad, So you gotta watch

379
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:35.440
what you're doing.

380
00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:38.400
I would agree with you. Has there ever been a

381
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:42.359
time when you have felt like you're in danger on

382
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:44.519
your own property or do you think there is a

383
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:51.599
common understanding back and forth between you and them.

384
00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:55.000
Only two times now. Once I got hit pretty hard

385
00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:59.279
by an adult meal with the sound. And I don't

386
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:02.519
know if there's a holopathic component to it or not,

387
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:07.039
but I'll give you a description of what it felt like.

388
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:15.079
It was like anger and fear, hatred and doom all

389
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:19.240
rolled into one directed at me, if that makes any

390
00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:24.079
sense to you. And you know, with infra sound, it

391
00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:28.200
made me physically shudder. And I could tell it was

392
00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:33.240
an adult male because I could smell it. And what

393
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.799
I smelled kind of had you know what a sweaty

394
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:44.960
horse smells like. Yes, if you take that and the

395
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:51.759
real sulfury smell like burnt smoke balls, and then top

396
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:55.680
that was skunk. Now I found the only ones that

397
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.759
have the skunky smell, or the adult male hunters. And

398
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:03.400
think of it like a bow hunter that goes up

399
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:07.359
in the tree and they put on their masking agent

400
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:11.640
so that they don't smell like a predator. Well, I

401
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:17.240
think you know the bigfoots use skunk as a masking

402
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:23.000
agent so that when they're hunting in the woods. You know,

403
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:26.200
deer smells skunk. Deer says, well, skunk don't eat dear,

404
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.519
at least not live ones anyway, so I'm okay, And

405
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:34.440
well then they run into somebody that is a lot

406
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:39.519
bigger than a skunk that'll grab him and make dinner

407
00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:45.079
out of them. But you know, he hit me with

408
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:52.400
that and like twice, and I tried talking to Gig.

409
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:55.960
I said, you know, can we live in peace? I

410
00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:58.400
not be honest with you. I thought, well, this big

411
00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:02.119
old gonna try coming after me. And I had my

412
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:07.079
three fifty seven magnum and I had my Rudor Many

413
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:14.119
fourteen across my lap with a forty round mag. I

414
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:17.160
sat there like that until sun come up, before I

415
00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:22.920
went to sleep. Now, it's not getting hit with interesting

416
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:27.440
is not a pleasant experience. It can maybe rattle, But

417
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:31.200
I found out from the experience of somebody else that

418
00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:33.839
got hit with it when I was here, I want

419
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:37.519
to do a test. I've heard that if you go

420
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:42.640
to sleep, it's the best thing that you can do

421
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:48.079
as far as shaking the effects of it. And so

422
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:51.440
I had him go to sleep, and I left him

423
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:55.839
sleep for like an hour and I went. I went

424
00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:57.880
and woke him up, you know, to see if you

425
00:29:58.039 --> 00:30:06.039
still feeling the effects. And no, they were gone. But

426
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:09.279
he thought that it was like five or six hours

427
00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:13.839
later as far as how he slept. So I don't know,

428
00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:18.559
so anybody listening, if you get hit with it, it

429
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:20.960
could be kind of harmful, so you might want to

430
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:23.200
just go and do some sleep. It kind of gives

431
00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:29.319
your brain a reset and then the effects don't don't

432
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:34.039
last for a long period of time. But now another

433
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:39.119
thing is, I've talked to people that were out out

434
00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:43.359
in the woods looking for Bigfoot, and they've described to

435
00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:51.559
me what would be considered missing time, and you know,

436
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:55.119
not just fifteen to twenty minutes or something like two

437
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:58.519
to three hours a time. They just can't account for

438
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:04.799
know what happened, And I don't know if you know

439
00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:09.359
how to explain it. I think there's a strong possibility

440
00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:13.160
that it could be, you know, somewhat like the people

441
00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:18.319
that described getting abducted, you know, they're always having missing time,

442
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:25.720
And I mean personally know as far as like a

443
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:33.640
bigfoot UFO connection, I'm trying to skeptical on that. I think,

444
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:38.119
you know, in advanced species would look at them and

445
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:47.079
look at us as just another number. And when they

446
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:51.200
talk about how people said they saw a bigfoot come

447
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:57.440
out of a UFO and then it acted like they

448
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:01.799
weren't even there and walked right past. Well, to me,

449
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:08.119
that sounds very much like a typical UFO abduction that

450
00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:17.240
people describe. And now, you know, they go like they're

451
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:19.119
told to go through the woods and go to a

452
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:23.319
certain place and go back home or whatever, and it's

453
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:27.200
almost like they're in a hypnotic state. And I think,

454
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:30.759
you know, when they describe it, it was one time,

455
00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:35.440
and you hear people talk about it like it like

456
00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:39.839
there's been many people who have reported seeing a big

457
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:41.960
foot come from the UFO, but I believe it would

458
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:48.200
homely one. And it just gets circulated a lot. You know,

459
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:50.680
I used to be kind of heavy into the Facebook

460
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:57.039
groups and stuff, and anymore it's you know, you get

461
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:01.240
one fake thing after another, and it just keeps getting

462
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:03.599
posted and recycled.

463
00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:09.359
Over exactly, and then it pretty much becomes law in

464
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:11.880
the bigfoot community, like, oh, it's always been like this,

465
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:16.759
well probably not just probably as you said, someone said

466
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:19.759
it one day and then everyone started repeating it. The

467
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:24.519
individuals that have been on your property, the other researchers,

468
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:27.720
I believe you said other people have had infrasound too.

469
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:31.720
Is what they experienced the same as what you've experienced

470
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:32.880
when it comes to infrasound.

471
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:37.000
Well, now, these one guys, they went down to the

472
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:39.279
end of the dead end road and it was probably

473
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:44.880
about four in the morning, and when they walked back thereby,

474
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:47.799
there was a little bit of an opening in the

475
00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:51.119
trees because they'd come through and did a bunch of

476
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:55.039
logging and had a sawmill set up and stuff, and

477
00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:58.640
that ten acres it's next to mine. There's a bunch

478
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:00.880
of logging trails and stuff up through there. And I

479
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:07.279
believe the Bigfoot use those because well, let's face it,

480
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:09.920
just like deer and everything else, they're going to take

481
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:13.320
the path at least resistance. And if you got these

482
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:16.880
big wide paths, you know, with the skidder made for

483
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:20.920
the skinner to drag logs out, that's pretty easy to

484
00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:24.000
get through the woods. And then you're not dealing with

485
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:31.039
all these prickly briers and black raspberry bushes and all

486
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:33.639
that other crap. You can just get around good. While

487
00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:38.239
there was a spot where those were, and when those

488
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:43.280
guys went by that, they got hit with it. Now,

489
00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:48.360
the one guy he described where he felt his ear

490
00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:52.199
drums kind of go, you know, like he was exposed

491
00:34:52.280 --> 00:35:00.800
to being like by a base speaker and the other

492
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:04.760
fella just about did a nose dive on the gravel road.

493
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:10.719
That's how hard it hit him. So maink out of that,

494
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:14.840
which you will bit. That's what happened when they got

495
00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:19.000
hit with it. And one guy he came back a

496
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:21.239
couple of times, the one that said he just felt

497
00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:27.599
like a bass sound. And I'll give him credit. He went,

498
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:30.719
you know, I kind of described to him what I thought,

499
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:36.760
where I thought they were using and whatnot. And I've

500
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:40.400
had a lot of need trouble over the years, and

501
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:45.840
this year they took my leg off above the knee.

502
00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:49.880
Afternoon's surgery is trying to save my leg, but I

503
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:54.119
just kept having infection issues and just got to the

504
00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:58.519
point where I lost the legs. Anyway, I had, well,

505
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:03.840
that's life. What are you going to do? You either

506
00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:08.199
quit or you just keep moving forward. So anyhow that

507
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:14.960
happened sucks. The phantom mirror of pain is unlike anything

508
00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:21.400
you could believe. It's bad. But I'm doing the best

509
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:27.039
I can. Only got a leg waiting to go to therapy,

510
00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:30.079
so I learned how to walk all over again. Yeah,

511
00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:39.320
then I get back to life. But anyway, I was

512
00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:42.559
where am I going with this. I kind of told

513
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:45.840
him where to go, and the guy come back. He

514
00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:50.280
even ended up not paying attention to his surroundings and

515
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:54.039
ended up with one of them locust thorings went right

516
00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:56.440
through the bottom of his shoe and into his foot.

517
00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:01.719
So I had to do a little We had to

518
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:04.119
doctor him up a little bit, pull the thorn out

519
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:08.239
of the bottom of his foot, you know, put a

520
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:11.679
little day to die on there, and give him a

521
00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:18.159
little band aid. But he ran around. He said he

522
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:22.079
found trendwis a lot of you know, your different tree

523
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:28.360
structures and stuff like that. He didn't find any footprints.

524
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:34.039
And now where I'm at, I've only ever been able

525
00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:38.960
to get a get two footprints that I felt were

526
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:43.000
worth waisting the plaster to cast him. I mean there's

527
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:49.000
people out there. They'll cast anything, whether it's even remotely

528
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:53.199
looks like a footprint or not. I mean it just

529
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:56.360
kind of sort of has that shape. I mean some

530
00:37:56.519 --> 00:38:00.599
of that stuff, it's like waste a lot of money

531
00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:06.599
just going out and plaster cast and stuff that isn't

532
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:11.199
worth doing in my opinion. I mean, if you can't

533
00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:15.119
see toes, you're in actual footsheet, what does the point

534
00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:17.880
I don't see it.

535
00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:25.159
I agree with you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. So this

536
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:33.000
last period of time before you get your you're let's see,

537
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:34.239
let me think of how I want to say this.

538
00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:38.199
So the last few weeks since you've had the removal

539
00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:42.199
of half of your leg, things have still continued to happen.

540
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:49.119
Well, they live around here. They live around here year round,

541
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:53.159
so of course, I mean anytime it gets towards night,

542
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:57.679
you can go out and sit on the front porch

543
00:38:57.840 --> 00:39:03.599
and you can hear them, you can interact with them.

544
00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:07.360
They usually come through a couple times to night, you know,

545
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:13.440
once going away from their home, and then as it

546
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:15.679
gets towards morning, they come back.

547
00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:24.119
You mentioned that the researchers also have been able to

548
00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:28.239
record sounds at your property. What kind of sounds are

549
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:28.960
they recording?

550
00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:32.800
On the one night when they went down to the

551
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:36.119
dead end and close to four am and they got that.

552
00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:40.400
You know, everybody wants caught ZAPT but that's more like

553
00:39:41.239 --> 00:39:44.960
if you were hit with electricity and anything to do

554
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:50.480
with sound. It's a blast, you know, like when a

555
00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:55.039
airplane breaks a sound barrier. You know it's a sonic

556
00:39:55.159 --> 00:40:01.360
boom or blast, and you go out and with a

557
00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:06.079
call for predators. They call it call blasting only, so

558
00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:10.199
I call it getting blasted. Anyway, they had gone down

559
00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:16.360
and when they got back down here, you could hear

560
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:20.519
the males going off and setting off all their little

561
00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:30.079
groups of coyotes. And you hear probably thirty coyotes and

562
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:35.039
six males going off. It's quite a sound. I said, Well,

563
00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:39.960
I said, you had tissed them off now, but you know,

564
00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:43.440
it almost sounded close like to fifty. But I know

565
00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:48.840
from over the years that each of the males, the

566
00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:54.639
adult males, the ones that hunt, they all have domesticated coyotes,

567
00:40:54.679 --> 00:41:01.079
and they all have five each for some reason, that's

568
00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:06.800
the number that they have. And I got a friend

569
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:11.519
that I let hunt out here. He bow hunts, and

570
00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:17.079
he's into that. One time he was into looking for

571
00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:21.760
turkeys and he heard a couple of them. He thought, oh,

572
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:25.920
I'll go get ahead of them. Well I don't. I

573
00:41:25.960 --> 00:41:30.880
think somebody else was also hunting the turkeys, because he

574
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:34.519
went down this little dirt path that goes down to

575
00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:38.920
the creek between my property and the property next to me,

576
00:41:41.159 --> 00:41:46.039
which I've got some great neighbors. Anyway, he went down

577
00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:50.440
there and he said, about fifty yards to the west

578
00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:54.599
of him, he heard a whistle and he described it

579
00:41:54.639 --> 00:42:02.119
as being like three breaths long. Then he went the

580
00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:06.679
other He heard a return call from the other way,

581
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:10.480
and it was the same, you know, a whistle that

582
00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:14.679
was like three breaths long. So he decided, well, it's

583
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:17.960
probably a good time to just back on out of there.

584
00:42:18.480 --> 00:42:24.320
But when he when he heard the second one, he said,

585
00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:27.880
I see I looked over and he goes, and I

586
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:32.480
seen five coyotes and they were walking like in single file.

587
00:42:33.159 --> 00:42:36.440
He goes, you don't see that. That's not normal. And

588
00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:38.400
he goes and one of them didn't have a tail.

589
00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:41.480
He said, at that time of the year, you know,

590
00:42:41.519 --> 00:42:45.039
the tails are pretty fluffy and bushy on a coyote.

591
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:49.159
And he said. Now he goes, well one it could

592
00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:52.199
have been a dog, he said, but the one didn't

593
00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:56.719
have a tail, And so he backed on out of there.

594
00:42:56.760 --> 00:42:59.679
And then there was another time he was here and

595
00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:04.119
he was kind of walking along. He likes to look

596
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:08.280
for a shed antlers and stuff. So he was looking along,

597
00:43:09.039 --> 00:43:11.960
kind of along down near the creek that goes through that.

598
00:43:12.679 --> 00:43:14.920
It's one of the creeks that the only time it

599
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:18.400
flows is when it rains. You know, it's kind of

600
00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:23.000
you call it dry creek or whatever, but he's very

601
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:26.920
good place to go looking. He was down there and

602
00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:30.360
he just happened to notice there were two of them

603
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:36.360
together further up the hill, duck down behind a big

604
00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:41.119
briar bush watching him. So when you see that, you know,

605
00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:44.679
he just kind of pretended like he didn't see him

606
00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:48.719
and and decided it was a better time, you know,

607
00:43:48.760 --> 00:43:52.199
if they were going to be there, he'd believe I

608
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:58.199
had another guy. I told him to go out to

609
00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:02.920
the barn to get something, and he went out there

610
00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:10.159
to get something and discovered that he wasn't alone. I

611
00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:12.679
don't know how good of a look he got at it,

612
00:44:13.400 --> 00:44:15.840
but there had been one. I don't know if it

613
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:18.440
was sleeping back there or what, but it was in

614
00:44:18.519 --> 00:44:26.039
the barn and it rushed out, and he said he

615
00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:31.960
came back to the house, he pretty rattled. It was

616
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:37.840
probably about three years three years or so ago, and

617
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:42.119
I mean he was pretty pale, visibly shaken. Could that

618
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:46.960
things got to be at least a thousand pounds. And

619
00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:52.880
he's never been back. And anyway, you know, there's been

620
00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:55.239
about a year ago. The guy had cut them on

621
00:44:55.480 --> 00:44:58.639
went back to the barn because he had a flat

622
00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:02.000
tire on his trailer that he had his lawnmowers on,

623
00:45:03.320 --> 00:45:10.199
and he was wanting to change his tire and he

624
00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:12.679
was having trouble, and he was going to look for

625
00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:14.519
a piece of pipe in the bar and to use

626
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:18.360
his cheeterbar bust loose of the lugnuts like a pull

627
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:22.800
the wheel off. And he went back there and he

628
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:25.360
said something coming on and out of there. He didn't

629
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:27.280
really get a good look at it, but he said

630
00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:31.159
he felt the ground shake from the footsteps of it

631
00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:38.280
went out of there, moving really fast, and he's never

632
00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:46.159
been back here. And he's a big so called patchkn biker. Dudes. Well,

633
00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:50.320
you don't think it anymore. And he discovered that I

634
00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:52.920
wasn't just making up stories.

635
00:45:55.639 --> 00:45:59.880
Absolutely go ahead, it's it's very interesting. So you have

636
00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:04.440
at least two different times where they have pretty much

637
00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:07.800
chased people away from the area of the bar, and

638
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:08.599
it sounds.

639
00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:14.280
Like they didn't really chease them away. They just got foot,

640
00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:17.400
you know, they went the people went back there and

641
00:46:18.239 --> 00:46:20.480
a big foot flushed out of the barn. You know.

642
00:46:21.800 --> 00:46:28.440
One time I got to post out there that I

643
00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:30.320
put in the ground where I was going to put

644
00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:34.800
a gate and put up a fence. Anyhow, it's just

645
00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:39.679
a post there. I ended up taking like some aluminum

646
00:46:41.039 --> 00:46:44.159
and coming down with two rows of the aluminum and

647
00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:47.679
going around the post by the top, kind of like

648
00:46:47.679 --> 00:46:51.320
a predator guard, because you know, they can't really get

649
00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:55.119
a lot of grip on aluminum with their toenails, and

650
00:46:55.159 --> 00:46:57.400
that way, if I put something on post that it'd

651
00:46:57.480 --> 00:46:59.400
go to who I wanted it to, would not just

652
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:05.079
get gotten by you know, possums or raccoons or something. Anyhow,

653
00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:10.039
I had I had this, well, this post could be

654
00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:14.280
visible from my porch or well, I guess you'd call

655
00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:17.400
it my back deck. It's not very big. It's about

656
00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:19.880
ten by tennants where a lot of my stuff that

657
00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:24.719
I've done took place. Anyhow, I had. I used to

658
00:47:24.719 --> 00:47:28.800
give them stuff in a red Folger's cam because that

659
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:30.679
way you could put it on top of that post,

660
00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:34.719
and you know, then I'd then I called to him

661
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:37.000
and bang on the barn, you know, kind of like

662
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:42.000
ringing the dinner bell, because Barnes has ten siding on it,

663
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:45.639
so you know, nose carry is pretty good in the forest.

664
00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:50.360
So they'd come and they'd take it. And I've observed

665
00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:55.519
them before, like, for instance, one time and there was

666
00:47:55.559 --> 00:48:00.039
a guy standing there with me and I'd had it.

667
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:04.079
Probably takes me a while to figure out exactly which

668
00:48:04.199 --> 00:48:06.559
night I recorded it on to try and find it,

669
00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:13.920
But we observed were first there was a female and

670
00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:18.639
I would imagine her child, and then they were joined

671
00:48:18.639 --> 00:48:23.599
by a second female and I didn't see her having

672
00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:28.320
a child, and they took the coffee can down, they

673
00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:33.119
set it on the ground and they just shared, you

674
00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:36.840
know what, something like you and they they're greedy. One

675
00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:38.760
of them wanted to just grabbed it and run off

676
00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:41.280
with it. My the heck with the rest of you.

677
00:48:41.440 --> 00:48:46.800
I got the goodies, you know. But it wasn't like that.

678
00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:53.800
So I kind of in some ways let me figure

679
00:48:53.800 --> 00:48:58.679
out how more about their behavior and how they just

680
00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:03.719
share everything. We kind of expect us to live by

681
00:49:03.760 --> 00:49:06.440
the same standards that they do, even though we don't.

682
00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:09.519
If that makes any sense to.

683
00:49:09.599 --> 00:49:15.599
You, absolutely, so it sounds like you're observing some situations

684
00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:18.719
where there's definite intelligence involved.

685
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:24.760
Well, they're highly intelligent. If they were stupid, they'd becaught,

686
00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:30.199
wouldn't they true? How many have we caught? You know?

687
00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:35.840
I think the military's probably snatched if you wanted to

688
00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:38.440
make a super soldier like the Russians tried to do

689
00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:44.480
with apes, but it didn't work. Well, recently, I've come

690
00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:48.719
to a conclusion that you know, a lot of people

691
00:49:49.320 --> 00:49:53.599
are going to say, oh, that's just kind of crazy. Well,

692
00:49:54.840 --> 00:50:00.559
I don't think so. When you look back on those

693
00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:06.159
clay tablets that they found with the cuneiform over there

694
00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:12.239
in Iraq, they tell about the Hanunaki and stuff. Well,

695
00:50:12.559 --> 00:50:19.320
if you get into the actual story of Hanunaki, they

696
00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:24.000
came here apparently to mind gold to somehow make a

697
00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:29.320
repair to their atmosphere on their planet. Okay, that's the

698
00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:33.400
story we all know. But it also says that when

699
00:50:33.400 --> 00:50:39.599
they came here there were about three hundred Anaki, and

700
00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:45.719
I'm assuming a few royals which would have been Yanky,

701
00:50:45.800 --> 00:50:51.039
and then will the brothers, and then you know, I

702
00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:54.920
don't know how many others that were royals. But it

703
00:50:55.039 --> 00:51:00.719
says that they brought with them the Igigi that were

704
00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:08.360
a race designed to do the labor, so basically they

705
00:51:08.360 --> 00:51:14.519
were slaves. And it also says that when they when

706
00:51:14.599 --> 00:51:23.320
iron Aki left our planet, that they took some of

707
00:51:23.360 --> 00:51:28.719
the IgG with them. Okay, so what became of the

708
00:51:28.719 --> 00:51:33.639
ones that were left behind. I believe that that's what

709
00:51:33.679 --> 00:51:36.840
we call bigfoot. I believe that they were the corners

710
00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:42.400
slaves of Loni Naki because if you look at a

711
00:51:42.440 --> 00:51:46.719
lot of it fits an Anaki. The nails were said

712
00:51:46.719 --> 00:51:51.800
to be between you know, twelve to fifteen feet tall. Okay,

713
00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:57.039
an adult male bigfoot? How tall are they? Twelve foote

714
00:51:57.440 --> 00:52:00.679
Lonachi were said to have a cone shaped head. A

715
00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:04.440
lot of people describe bigfoots as having somewhat cone shaped head.

716
00:52:05.039 --> 00:52:07.800
If you're going to want to mind gold, it would

717
00:52:07.800 --> 00:52:11.559
be good to have somebody who's strong, and it would

718
00:52:11.599 --> 00:52:14.760
also be good to have someone that can see extremely

719
00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:19.679
well in the dark, unlike any the other higher primates

720
00:52:19.719 --> 00:52:22.039
big pits the only one season dark as good as

721
00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:26.400
we've seen in the day, you're super strong. That would

722
00:52:26.440 --> 00:52:32.400
be useful in the worker. They do have some telepathic abilities,

723
00:52:33.320 --> 00:52:37.599
and I think that would be extremely useful in when

724
00:52:37.599 --> 00:52:44.239
you get directions on tests to do to better comprehend

725
00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:48.480
what you're supposed to do, and you know, just different things.

726
00:52:49.159 --> 00:52:53.679
I mean, it all fits really, you know, if you

727
00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:59.199
don't think that they are, well, I don't change my mind, right, I.

728
00:52:59.119 --> 00:53:04.000
Mean, it's it's an extremely interesting viewpoint, for sure.

729
00:53:05.280 --> 00:53:11.880
I think there's enough stuff that fits where it could. Certainly,

730
00:53:13.480 --> 00:53:19.719
you know, I lean pretty strong and that it's that

731
00:53:19.840 --> 00:53:23.400
that's what's going on, and that's where the origins are

732
00:53:24.039 --> 00:53:31.480
because in the story it talks about how that Donanaki

733
00:53:31.519 --> 00:53:38.280
were overworking the egg and they rebelled because they're being

734
00:53:38.320 --> 00:53:45.079
worked so hard, and Donanaki ended up giving them their

735
00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:48.880
freedom approximately you know, a little over two hundred thousand

736
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:53.239
years ago, and that's where we came on the scene.

737
00:53:53.840 --> 00:54:00.599
M So, in my opinion, the people that doing all

738
00:54:00.639 --> 00:54:04.559
this DNA they're looking at it wrong. They're looking at

739
00:54:04.559 --> 00:54:08.400
it through the wrong end of the scope. They're trying

740
00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:14.039
to think that these bigfoot creatures are some type of

741
00:54:14.199 --> 00:54:18.519
human hybrid. I don't believe that at all. I believe

742
00:54:18.559 --> 00:54:22.840
they're an older species. Therefore they could not be a

743
00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:27.800
human hybrid. However, it does not mean that we do

744
00:54:27.960 --> 00:54:32.440
not share a common source of DNA. I think when

745
00:54:32.559 --> 00:54:38.880
Nicky came here, they upgraded a lower primate from their world,

746
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:43.599
modified them to suit their purposes, and then when they

747
00:54:43.639 --> 00:54:48.360
came here and they decided to give the gg their freedom,

748
00:54:49.320 --> 00:54:55.679
I think they took something that was already here and

749
00:54:57.559 --> 00:55:02.920
use their DNA to upgrade it, and what the scientists

750
00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:07.039
are referring to as human DNA, I believe comes from

751
00:55:07.559 --> 00:55:14.440
a source of Annunaki, and I believe on Anaki most

752
00:55:14.559 --> 00:55:19.719
likely created us, and we were created to take over

753
00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:23.000
as being the slaves. But instead of calling my slaves, well,

754
00:55:23.639 --> 00:55:27.719
they call themselves gods. And if they kind of build

755
00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:32.880
into the DNA worship been, then you work for free

756
00:55:33.440 --> 00:55:39.360
to please your gods. So some of that all kind

757
00:55:39.360 --> 00:55:43.000
of went on. And I think there's a lot of

758
00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:45.719
our past history that's just plan missing.

759
00:55:46.320 --> 00:55:49.039
Oh, I agree with you. I mean sure, Library of

760
00:55:49.199 --> 00:55:53.559
Alexandria being burned. I mean that alone. Think of how

761
00:55:53.679 --> 00:55:56.840
much history was lost. It's it's incredible to think about.

762
00:55:57.559 --> 00:56:02.840
You have You've mentioned a few times about telepathy. Is

763
00:56:02.880 --> 00:56:08.079
that anything that you have experienced yourself, or any type

764
00:56:08.079 --> 00:56:10.199
of communication back and forth you think?

765
00:56:11.119 --> 00:56:13.719
I believe I had a female come to me a

766
00:56:13.719 --> 00:56:18.280
couple of times in my dreams, and a lot of

767
00:56:18.280 --> 00:56:21.159
times it was in a as an observer where be

768
00:56:22.679 --> 00:56:29.960
you know, like a girl, but she was real like

769
00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:33.760
an odd odd ball, you know, I didn't know, didn't

770
00:56:33.760 --> 00:56:36.199
have the correct mannerisms, and it was just kind of

771
00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:40.519
like somebody totally out of place. But the one time,

772
00:56:40.599 --> 00:56:43.760
I said, you know, it pleases me when you guys

773
00:56:43.800 --> 00:56:46.400
are here. You know, if you want to use my

774
00:56:46.480 --> 00:56:49.760
bar and to get out of the weather, I don't care. Fine,

775
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:57.039
I'm okay with it. And you know, when I told

776
00:56:57.119 --> 00:57:00.880
him that I would kill my own kind to check them,

777
00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:06.639
they didn't like that. They didn't like that at all,

778
00:57:08.519 --> 00:57:11.400
And that was probably, you know, when I said that there,

779
00:57:11.480 --> 00:57:13.320
I think that was the last time they come to

780
00:57:13.360 --> 00:57:17.920
me in my dreams. But my sense was it was

781
00:57:17.960 --> 00:57:23.159
a young female. But I'm a little bit of an mpass,

782
00:57:23.440 --> 00:57:26.280
so maybe it makes it easier for it to happen.

783
00:57:27.800 --> 00:57:33.239
I mean, I've actually, in my sleep been able to

784
00:57:33.280 --> 00:57:36.199
get into other people's dreams before. And the next day

785
00:57:36.519 --> 00:57:41.800
you tell them about their dream and they're like, how

786
00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:47.039
could you possibly know that? It's like, oh, I was

787
00:57:47.119 --> 00:57:52.920
kind of in the same dream. So just and I've

788
00:57:52.960 --> 00:57:56.039
had a lot of weird stuff happened over the years,

789
00:57:57.480 --> 00:58:01.440
Like when I was nineteen, I lived in a haunted house.

790
00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:05.920
I didn't see anything, but you'd hear voices a lot

791
00:58:06.880 --> 00:58:11.199
voices like someone in the next room having a conversation,

792
00:58:11.400 --> 00:58:14.920
where you hear that there's people talking, but you can't

793
00:58:14.960 --> 00:58:17.719
make out the conversation. I wasn't the only one you'd

794
00:58:17.719 --> 00:58:21.559
heard that nod at house and a lot of other people.

795
00:58:23.360 --> 00:58:26.400
And one time when I was living at the same house,

796
00:58:27.440 --> 00:58:29.480
you know, like I said, I was like nineteen, and

797
00:58:29.639 --> 00:58:33.840
it was after the bars closed and my friend was

798
00:58:33.920 --> 00:58:36.760
dropping me off and you're kind of standing in the

799
00:58:36.800 --> 00:58:39.599
parking lot visiting a little bit. All of a sudden

800
00:58:39.599 --> 00:58:42.000
he goes, look, look, look, look. Look. When I looked

801
00:58:42.039 --> 00:58:48.719
up and we saw something that appeared round, metallic, didn't

802
00:58:48.719 --> 00:58:53.119
have any lights, didn't make any sound, fly over the city,

803
00:58:53.639 --> 00:58:55.679
kind of above our heads. We only seen it for

804
00:58:55.719 --> 00:58:59.199
about three seconds. But I don't know what it was.

805
00:58:59.400 --> 00:59:02.119
I would call that out a UFO. I mean, it

806
00:59:02.159 --> 00:59:06.480
wasn't like something that come down to the ground or

807
00:59:06.519 --> 00:59:11.840
anything like that, but just seeing that passing by, So

808
00:59:12.559 --> 00:59:18.239
I don't know. I'm just seem to find myself in

809
00:59:18.280 --> 00:59:20.079
the right place at the right time.

810
00:59:19.920 --> 00:59:24.159
Sometimes, Dave, you really have had a fascinating life in

811
00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:27.039
that area so far, and it sounds like it's it's

812
00:59:27.119 --> 00:59:30.960
not really not really stopping anytime soon, I would say,

813
00:59:31.480 --> 00:59:33.880
but I just want to say thank you for sharing

814
00:59:33.920 --> 00:59:34.920
what you've encountered.

815
00:59:35.320 --> 00:59:43.599
It's gonna it's probably gonna increase because I plan on

816
00:59:44.360 --> 00:59:50.039
purchasing a sawmill and I'm going to get into, you know,

817
00:59:50.960 --> 00:59:54.599
cutting and selling a little bit of lumber and doing

818
00:59:54.679 --> 00:59:59.000
some firewood. Because at my age, I'm fifty nine years

819
00:59:59.039 --> 01:00:01.400
old with one way, who the hell's going to hire me?

820
01:00:03.840 --> 01:00:05.960
So you got to make your own jobs. So if

821
01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:08.760
I'm going to be running chainsaw a lot and whatnot,

822
01:00:08.880 --> 01:00:13.119
I'm sure I'm going to be getting observed quite a bit.

823
01:00:13.639 --> 01:00:17.719
Now I've gotten pictures of them. I've only got two pictures,

824
01:00:17.760 --> 01:00:20.800
and they're not very good. I didn't know they were

825
01:00:20.840 --> 01:00:23.840
there at the time. It's just you know, later you

826
01:00:23.920 --> 01:00:26.239
go through a review and your pictures that you took

827
01:00:26.320 --> 01:00:30.760
on your phone on your computer, and you know, these

828
01:00:30.800 --> 01:00:34.480
newer phones don't agree with me. So I just got

829
01:00:34.480 --> 01:00:37.000
an old flip phone and it's got you know, two

830
01:00:37.039 --> 01:00:41.119
inch square screen. So if you get a picture of something, yeah,

831
01:00:41.480 --> 01:00:43.840
you know, you got to put it on the computer

832
01:00:44.079 --> 01:00:47.159
so you can blow it up and look at it

833
01:00:47.199 --> 01:00:52.480
and see if there's anything there. And that's how I've

834
01:00:52.559 --> 01:00:57.360
ended up with some in a couple of pictures. And

835
01:00:57.440 --> 01:00:59.840
it was from when I was out, you know chainsaw.

836
01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:03.119
People go, ah, why don't you mayor go pro and

837
01:01:03.159 --> 01:01:06.199
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. I'm kind of

838
01:01:06.239 --> 01:01:09.639
the opinion, So if you don't like me doing things

839
01:01:09.639 --> 01:01:12.559
the way that I'm doing them, just go bother somebody else.

840
01:01:13.760 --> 01:01:16.199
I mean, I'm out in the woods cutting firewood. I'm

841
01:01:16.199 --> 01:01:20.320
not looking for bigfoot. And if I take a picture

842
01:01:20.320 --> 01:01:22.599
of something that I think is kind of neat or

843
01:01:23.360 --> 01:01:29.559
doesn't seem natural, I won't do that. Oh so I

844
01:01:29.599 --> 01:01:32.119
take a picture with my little foot phone and that's

845
01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:35.400
it is what it is. Had I know they were

846
01:01:35.400 --> 01:01:37.840
there at the time, While I probably would have tried

847
01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:41.000
to get closer and get a better picture, but I didn't.

848
01:01:43.079 --> 01:01:45.400
When they when they seem you looking towards him, they

849
01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:50.119
just freeze. And you know how that is, like like

850
01:01:50.199 --> 01:01:53.360
you get a bunny rabbit, he'll freeze and you really

851
01:01:53.360 --> 01:01:59.440
don't notice him until he moves right. They're really good

852
01:01:59.480 --> 01:02:05.400
at that, and you'd be surprised that, you know how

853
01:02:05.480 --> 01:02:10.079
little you know vegetation and whatnot it takes for them

854
01:02:10.119 --> 01:02:13.920
to hide. It really doesn't take a whole lot because

855
01:02:13.920 --> 01:02:19.519
they're dark. They're a shadow. If people go, well, these pinctures.

856
01:02:19.840 --> 01:02:25.199
It's like, okay, let's see. Let's start out with you've

857
01:02:25.199 --> 01:02:29.840
got something that's black, active at night and hides in

858
01:02:29.920 --> 01:02:33.880
the shadows. Okay, let's see how good a picture you got.

859
01:02:34.960 --> 01:02:40.519
Don't hear any pictures? I said, exactly, there you go,

860
01:02:40.960 --> 01:02:45.760
there you go. If you want to have something to

861
01:02:45.840 --> 01:02:50.400
do with bigfoot. I mean, one of the things I

862
01:02:50.400 --> 01:02:54.079
would recommend is when you go into the woods, announce yourself,

863
01:02:56.360 --> 01:03:01.320
you know, like do allowed you you know, like you'd

864
01:03:02.039 --> 01:03:05.239
do if you were walking into somebody's house and you

865
01:03:05.280 --> 01:03:07.559
wanted to see if they were home, right you who?

866
01:03:09.719 --> 01:03:15.920
It shows respect and that's the way I guess where

867
01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:20.800
you'd call it the beginning to having better encounters where

868
01:03:21.159 --> 01:03:23.280
if you were going into an area and they erect

869
01:03:23.360 --> 01:03:27.079
in a little bit hostile, but let them know that

870
01:03:27.159 --> 01:03:30.320
you're there. And if it's at night, why are you

871
01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:33.639
roaming around the woods in the dark at night? I mean,

872
01:03:33.760 --> 01:03:39.079
once your you got dogs and you're hunting raccoons. I

873
01:03:39.119 --> 01:03:42.920
mean that's one thing. But you know, if you want

874
01:03:43.000 --> 01:03:45.679
to go around and see what you can find when

875
01:03:45.719 --> 01:03:48.239
you're not going to find all the neat tree structures

876
01:03:48.320 --> 01:03:53.559
and different stuff like that, in the dark. You do

877
01:03:53.639 --> 01:03:57.000
that during the daytime and at night you make a camp,

878
01:03:57.079 --> 01:03:58.679
you have a little bit of a fire and you

879
01:03:58.760 --> 01:04:03.039
stay put. If they're around, they'll come to watch you,

880
01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:08.480
and you kind of go from there. And one thing

881
01:04:08.519 --> 01:04:11.119
that I found where I really gained a lot of

882
01:04:11.159 --> 01:04:15.679
respect is by not showing fear because they have fun

883
01:04:15.719 --> 01:04:20.719
with us. Because let's face it, most humans are pretty

884
01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:25.639
spook really easy. Oh, you throw a rock the size

885
01:04:25.639 --> 01:04:28.760
of a fist and they think it's being thrown at

886
01:04:28.880 --> 01:04:32.519
him when it landed twenty feet away. No, they just

887
01:04:32.599 --> 01:04:35.119
do that to spook you so you'll go and not

888
01:04:35.239 --> 01:04:39.039
be in their territory. They're not trying to hurt you.

889
01:04:39.119 --> 01:04:42.239
They're not trying to harm you. They're just kind of saying,

890
01:04:44.360 --> 01:04:48.039
get the heck out of here. That's all that is.

891
01:04:49.559 --> 01:04:53.719
I've had things thrown near me, not at me, never

892
01:04:53.800 --> 01:04:57.000
at me, but the guy who was living here a

893
01:04:57.000 --> 01:05:00.199
lot of times they'd pick him off with pebbles. Well,

894
01:05:00.239 --> 01:05:02.559
of course he'd do a big old twitch and freak

895
01:05:02.679 --> 01:05:05.320
out and whatnot. He was kind of a fat guy,

896
01:05:06.159 --> 01:05:08.719
and just watching to move around was kind of comical.

897
01:05:09.679 --> 01:05:12.960
And one night I don't know what he was doing,

898
01:05:13.159 --> 01:05:17.480
but he said he went down the road and one

899
01:05:17.480 --> 01:05:21.960
of them pitched a pebble and picked him off, and

900
01:05:22.000 --> 01:05:25.039
he went to move and fell down, and he said

901
01:05:25.079 --> 01:05:32.800
he heard one of them laughing at him, which I

902
01:05:32.800 --> 01:05:34.480
think is kind of funny.

903
01:05:34.440 --> 01:05:36.760
That it really does make a difference. I think how

904
01:05:36.800 --> 01:05:43.000
you react to when you're experiencing things, for sure, there's

905
01:05:43.440 --> 01:05:46.760
many different ways to react to interactions.

906
01:05:46.880 --> 01:05:53.519
You know, my wife, we've only been married for come

907
01:05:53.559 --> 01:06:01.239
on pretty quick in four years. But she was I

908
01:06:01.280 --> 01:06:06.159
don't think she was here for two weeks and she

909
01:06:06.360 --> 01:06:10.960
had her first sighting and was gifted. She had gone

910
01:06:11.400 --> 01:06:14.079
walked over to the neighbors, and when she came back

911
01:06:15.119 --> 01:06:19.840
on the gravel road, there was a pile of golden berries,

912
01:06:20.239 --> 01:06:23.039
and she looked over to the woods and she saw

913
01:06:24.280 --> 01:06:26.719
what she described as a gray one with a baby

914
01:06:26.719 --> 01:06:28.920
old beard. She said she pretty much just seen his

915
01:06:29.920 --> 01:06:32.440
head and face, and then she said she kind of

916
01:06:32.480 --> 01:06:36.320
took like a submissive posture, and she picked up the

917
01:06:36.440 --> 01:06:39.039
handful of golden berries that were left for that were

918
01:06:39.079 --> 01:06:43.119
not there when she walked to the neighbors and brought

919
01:06:43.159 --> 01:06:45.360
them back home, and of course, once she got inside,

920
01:06:45.440 --> 01:06:50.360
she tossed them in the trash but you know golden berries.

921
01:06:49.960 --> 01:06:52.119
Are I've never seen those.

922
01:06:54.639 --> 01:06:58.840
Well, most of the time there are those berries were,

923
01:07:00.719 --> 01:07:03.000
and they kind of almost have like a leaf sack

924
01:07:03.079 --> 01:07:08.119
around them. And when it gets into the fallen colder months,

925
01:07:08.840 --> 01:07:13.039
the green berry on the inside turns a yellow color

926
01:07:13.960 --> 01:07:18.039
and the outside, you know, it's almost like a leaf

927
01:07:18.159 --> 01:07:22.400
sack around it. And I'm sure you've seen those weeds before.

928
01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:30.159
Yeah all, ye, yeah, Now I know exactly what you're

929
01:07:30.159 --> 01:07:33.320
talking about. Yeah, yeah, wow.

930
01:07:33.320 --> 01:07:35.760
But they're at a ball and they don't get ripe

931
01:07:35.840 --> 01:07:40.119
until you know, fall and stuff. And I think this

932
01:07:40.360 --> 01:07:44.360
was probably like in November when she was gifted the

933
01:07:44.440 --> 01:07:48.159
when they came into season. And I've also found evidence

934
01:07:48.199 --> 01:07:56.559
of the farming mushrooms turkey tail mushrooms. Across the road

935
01:07:56.679 --> 01:08:00.360
there's a property and there's a pond, and down near

936
01:08:00.400 --> 01:08:04.159
the pond is what you would describe as a TV

937
01:08:04.320 --> 01:08:09.079
structure with four uprights. The uprights are probably about twenty

938
01:08:09.079 --> 01:08:12.920
feet tall, wing into a cedar tree and I think

939
01:08:13.159 --> 01:08:19.560
it's actually juniper, and one of them was covered in

940
01:08:19.600 --> 01:08:24.800
turkey tail mushrooms. Now why I found that suspicious is

941
01:08:24.840 --> 01:08:28.880
because actually what was standing upright was only half of

942
01:08:28.960 --> 01:08:33.520
the tree that was there. It's like it was broken

943
01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:38.159
at about the middle and the part that was standing

944
01:08:38.239 --> 01:08:42.119
up was covered full of turkey tail mushrooms. Now, the

945
01:08:42.199 --> 01:08:45.239
log that was laying on the ground didn't have any.

946
01:08:46.319 --> 01:08:49.680
Now that's not normal because it you know, if you

947
01:08:49.760 --> 01:08:55.279
get a tree and it's got mushrooms growing on it,

948
01:08:55.279 --> 01:08:58.880
it's usually growing on the entire tree, not just on

949
01:08:59.000 --> 01:09:02.880
the half that's sticking up in the other half got nothing. No,

950
01:09:03.760 --> 01:09:07.640
it's not normal. So to me, that would suggest that,

951
01:09:08.920 --> 01:09:12.439
you know, they rubbed spores on there, they get the

952
01:09:12.520 --> 01:09:17.560
mushrooms to grow there, So that would implicate farming to me.

953
01:09:19.159 --> 01:09:21.039
I don't know what's your opinion on, Man.

954
01:09:21.479 --> 01:09:23.800
You know that that has come up other times on

955
01:09:23.840 --> 01:09:29.039
the show as well. Down in Virginia, there's a there's

956
01:09:29.079 --> 01:09:32.119
a researcher that has been looking into to that, and

957
01:09:32.359 --> 01:09:36.199
I think there's definitely something something to that. For sure

958
01:09:36.680 --> 01:09:40.119
doesn't sound too wild to me, and I think there

959
01:09:40.159 --> 01:09:43.319
needs to be more looked into that by by researchers.

960
01:09:43.399 --> 01:09:46.359
But you know, Dave, I think we might need to

961
01:09:46.359 --> 01:09:49.119
maybe have a follow up in a in a year

962
01:09:49.279 --> 01:09:54.479
see how things are going. But I do appreciate that, Yeah, Hit,

963
01:09:54.640 --> 01:09:58.800
no doubt time. All right, It's been fun chatting with

964
01:09:58.840 --> 01:10:01.319
you today, and we will definitely be in touch to

965
01:10:01.319 --> 01:10:03.359
see what happens with you in the future.

966
01:10:03.399 --> 01:10:09.640
Sir. Okay, sounds like planning. Hey bye, Hey, Ryan, how's

967
01:10:09.640 --> 01:10:13.159
it going, Hey, how are you great?

968
01:10:13.199 --> 01:10:15.840
Are Are you coming up to share a story you

969
01:10:15.880 --> 01:10:16.399
have tonight?

970
01:10:17.199 --> 01:10:17.680
Yes, sir.

971
01:10:18.119 --> 01:10:21.399
Back in Gosh, it's been probably four years, so I'd

972
01:10:21.439 --> 01:10:25.159
say twenty twenty one. I used to go almost every

973
01:10:25.239 --> 01:10:31.119
weekend to Shenandoah State Park in Virginia, up around Waynesboro

974
01:10:31.319 --> 01:10:34.560
or the Stanton area, and I happened to go up

975
01:10:34.600 --> 01:10:37.760
there one day by myself, probably about four or five o'clock.

976
01:10:38.079 --> 01:10:41.199
I went to one of the trails that was one

977
01:10:41.199 --> 01:10:43.720
of the waterfalls that was only about a mile off

978
01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:47.800
of the main trailhead. Made it to the waterfall fine.

979
01:10:48.479 --> 01:10:51.439
I stayed a little bit longer than I should the

980
01:10:51.479 --> 01:10:55.319
son ended up going down. I lost the trail and

981
01:10:56.039 --> 01:10:57.880
was lost for about twelve hours.

982
01:10:59.079 --> 01:11:00.680
And over the course of the.

983
01:11:00.640 --> 01:11:07.840
Twelve hours, I had two sasquatch that I saw very

984
01:11:07.920 --> 01:11:11.680
blatantly in my field of vision, one state to my left,

985
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:15.000
one state to my right. I felt as though there

986
01:11:15.039 --> 01:11:18.279
were more, but the only two I ever saw, because

987
01:11:18.279 --> 01:11:20.239
I didn't even have so much as a flashlight, because

988
01:11:20.239 --> 01:11:21.119
I didn't intend.

989
01:11:20.880 --> 01:11:22.039
On being out there that late.

990
01:11:22.880 --> 01:11:25.239
The best I could describe it is, I felt like

991
01:11:25.319 --> 01:11:27.880
they were pushing me out of a certain area, and

992
01:11:27.960 --> 01:11:32.039
they never let me stray from a cert from a

993
01:11:32.079 --> 01:11:34.319
certain path because.

994
01:11:34.079 --> 01:11:37.359
I literally they literally had.

995
01:11:38.720 --> 01:11:41.800
Rescue drones and a helicopter patrol in the area trying

996
01:11:41.800 --> 01:11:44.279
to find me. Because I called my wife about seven

997
01:11:44.279 --> 01:11:47.520
o'clock and told her, Hey, my phone's fixing to die.

998
01:11:48.119 --> 01:11:50.640
I'm lost off the trail. You need to call. You

999
01:11:50.720 --> 01:11:56.399
need to call Parking Recreation right now. And yeah, the

1000
01:11:56.600 --> 01:11:59.680
two that I saw were at least eight feet tall,

1001
01:12:00.279 --> 01:12:02.760
if I had to judge based on how big some

1002
01:12:02.840 --> 01:12:06.439
of those trees are. I never felt as though they

1003
01:12:06.439 --> 01:12:09.600
were trying to be aggressive to me, but I definitely

1004
01:12:09.640 --> 01:12:12.720
felt like I was in an area that they didn't

1005
01:12:12.760 --> 01:12:16.239
want me in. And every time I'd try to stop,

1006
01:12:16.319 --> 01:12:19.880
they would get closer and closer I'd see them, I'd

1007
01:12:19.920 --> 01:12:22.439
see them moving in the tree line to my left,

1008
01:12:22.479 --> 01:12:26.039
and and that carried on over the course of about

1009
01:12:26.079 --> 01:12:29.319
twelve hours. I ended up not getting found till about

1010
01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:33.680
five am, And needless to say, I've as much as

1011
01:12:33.680 --> 01:12:37.000
I liked going out there, I've never gone back by myself.

1012
01:12:37.520 --> 01:12:39.119
And like I said, I used to go out there

1013
01:12:39.239 --> 01:12:44.720
every single weekend to the Skyline Drive Blue Ridge Parkway area,

1014
01:12:45.520 --> 01:12:48.359
and there's tons and tons of stories that you'll hear

1015
01:12:48.439 --> 01:12:51.039
coming out of there, people that have stopped along the

1016
01:12:51.079 --> 01:12:55.000
way at night taking pictures of the sunsets and hear

1017
01:12:55.159 --> 01:12:58.720
the call, the whooping calls and all that stuff. But

1018
01:12:59.079 --> 01:13:02.760
thus I can say that anybody is please don't be

1019
01:13:02.880 --> 01:13:07.359
in that area after dark, especially unless you have somebody

1020
01:13:07.399 --> 01:13:12.439
with you. Because the ones that I ran into, I

1021
01:13:12.520 --> 01:13:16.479
definitely felt as though it was some type of territorial issue.

1022
01:13:17.720 --> 01:13:20.479
So I try and forewarn anybody of that area. And

1023
01:13:20.520 --> 01:13:24.199
the funny thing is, whenever the rescuers finally found me,

1024
01:13:25.000 --> 01:13:27.039
they honestly thought they were going to just be looking

1025
01:13:27.079 --> 01:13:29.840
for a body at that point because I got lost

1026
01:13:30.000 --> 01:13:34.199
probably about eight pm. My wife I said, my phone's

1027
01:13:34.199 --> 01:13:36.880
fixed and die. You need to call the game Parts

1028
01:13:36.920 --> 01:13:40.399
of Recreation right now. And they didn't find me till

1029
01:13:40.399 --> 01:13:47.479
about five am, and one of the rescue guys I distinctly,

1030
01:13:47.800 --> 01:13:53.840
I distinctly remember telling him there was something out here

1031
01:13:53.880 --> 01:13:55.920
in these woods with me, and he just looked me

1032
01:13:55.960 --> 01:13:59.840
in the face, didn't even bad an I and said, yeah,

1033
01:14:00.199 --> 01:14:04.880
out here, And I just I felt baffled by the

1034
01:14:04.920 --> 01:14:08.239
fact that there there's so many people that go to

1035
01:14:08.319 --> 01:14:11.720
that area, and to let people go in there and

1036
01:14:11.800 --> 01:14:14.600
not be warned, it just blows my mind.

1037
01:14:15.880 --> 01:14:17.399
Wow, what man?

1038
01:14:17.479 --> 01:14:23.199
I am so just I'm baffled that you're alive after

1039
01:14:23.239 --> 01:14:27.720
that too. That is intense. So this is Shannandoah National Park?

1040
01:14:27.760 --> 01:14:32.520
He said, yes, sir, it's in Virginia. It's towards the

1041
01:14:32.640 --> 01:14:33.920
Waynesboro area.

1042
01:14:34.199 --> 01:14:35.439
You have an area called.

1043
01:14:35.279 --> 01:14:39.359
Skyline Drive, which is along the Blue Ridge Parkway where

1044
01:14:39.399 --> 01:14:42.000
you can it's basically for the cars, and it just

1045
01:14:42.039 --> 01:14:46.000
goes all along the scenery of all the out the overlooks.

1046
01:14:46.800 --> 01:14:49.960
And I'm not gonna give exact mile markers because I

1047
01:14:49.960 --> 01:14:55.640
don't want people going out there's that area. But all

1048
01:14:55.680 --> 01:14:58.640
I can do is give people warning that they're there,

1049
01:14:59.600 --> 01:15:01.119
and you don't I want to be caught out in

1050
01:15:01.159 --> 01:15:04.399
the dark. I don't know how I didn't fall off

1051
01:15:04.439 --> 01:15:06.800
the edge of a cliff or something. And that's why

1052
01:15:06.840 --> 01:15:09.239
I say you could look at you could look at

1053
01:15:09.239 --> 01:15:11.600
it that they didn't want me in the area, or

1054
01:15:11.640 --> 01:15:13.720
you could look at it that they were making sure

1055
01:15:14.039 --> 01:15:16.920
I didn't die while I was out there until they

1056
01:15:16.960 --> 01:15:18.119
came in there and found me.

1057
01:15:19.039 --> 01:15:23.199
Oh absolutely. And how close were they to you do

1058
01:15:23.279 --> 01:15:23.880
you figure?

1059
01:15:25.720 --> 01:15:32.920
Oh god, at one point, maybe twenty twenty five feet.

1060
01:15:33.079 --> 01:15:36.880
Every time I'd try to stop and rest, they I'd

1061
01:15:36.880 --> 01:15:39.199
see them from the I'd see one on my left

1062
01:15:39.199 --> 01:15:43.159
and one on my right, and they just edged closer

1063
01:15:43.159 --> 01:15:47.479
and closer towards me. Definitely had that really foul odor.

1064
01:15:48.439 --> 01:15:53.319
But I just, I honestly never felt like they intended

1065
01:15:53.319 --> 01:15:57.119
to hurt me. I honestly felt more like I was

1066
01:15:57.159 --> 01:16:00.760
in the area that they didn't want me in. And

1067
01:16:00.800 --> 01:16:03.159
that went on over the course of twelve hours. The

1068
01:16:03.199 --> 01:16:06.720
only reason the rescue guy said I was even found

1069
01:16:07.880 --> 01:16:10.479
was because he stopped the pee and I could see

1070
01:16:10.560 --> 01:16:13.479
him boy off in the distance and was hollering. And

1071
01:16:13.560 --> 01:16:16.920
the guy happened to stop and pee and thought that

1072
01:16:17.039 --> 01:16:21.039
he heard somebody hollering, and they came in there and

1073
01:16:21.079 --> 01:16:23.560
found me. So I don't know if I don't know

1074
01:16:23.600 --> 01:16:27.199
if they were leading me towards where the rescuers were,

1075
01:16:28.399 --> 01:16:32.520
But yeah, I've never gone back out there with myself.

1076
01:16:32.560 --> 01:16:33.399
I put it that way.

1077
01:16:33.520 --> 01:16:36.039
Yeah, I don't blame you. It almost sounds like they

1078
01:16:36.119 --> 01:16:38.600
may have been doing that, were you able to see

1079
01:16:38.640 --> 01:16:43.680
any details about the space of either of them or

1080
01:16:43.720 --> 01:16:46.159
any how they looked in general.

1081
01:16:47.279 --> 01:16:51.000
I didn't have flashlights or anything. Luckily that night was

1082
01:16:51.039 --> 01:16:54.520
pretty much a full moon, no cloud cover, so you

1083
01:16:54.640 --> 01:16:59.119
had a lot of white lights shining down and both

1084
01:16:59.159 --> 01:17:03.079
of them were at least eight feet tall, very long hair.

1085
01:17:03.840 --> 01:17:05.800
Their faces looked more like.

1086
01:17:05.840 --> 01:17:12.119
An old Indian really, and then just tons and tons

1087
01:17:12.159 --> 01:17:18.199
of hair matted all down around their face. I would

1088
01:17:18.199 --> 01:17:20.039
have thought it was a per I would have thought

1089
01:17:20.039 --> 01:17:22.920
it was a person had it not been for the

1090
01:17:22.920 --> 01:17:24.359
sheer size that they were.

1091
01:17:25.960 --> 01:17:29.039
Okay, so you were getting more like this is some

1092
01:17:29.279 --> 01:17:32.680
kind of human than some kind of ape.

1093
01:17:34.279 --> 01:17:37.039
Yeah, but besides the fact that they were over eight

1094
01:17:37.279 --> 01:17:40.359
eight feet tall. Yeah, I got to have a pretty

1095
01:17:40.399 --> 01:17:42.520
good look at them, and I wouldn't want to do

1096
01:17:42.560 --> 01:17:45.800
it again. Everybody thinks that you want to have this

1097
01:17:45.960 --> 01:17:50.199
close encounter, and I can tell you from experience, to

1098
01:17:50.399 --> 01:17:54.439
have them that close and the fear that you have,

1099
01:17:56.680 --> 01:17:59.960
I wouldn't wish it on anybody. I have nightmares to this.

1100
01:18:00.479 --> 01:18:04.520
I've never gone back out there by myself. It's not

1101
01:18:04.680 --> 01:18:07.239
what everybody makes it out that, oh, it's just some

1102
01:18:07.279 --> 01:18:09.560
great experience to get to see these things.

1103
01:18:10.880 --> 01:18:15.079
It's not. It's really not, absolutely and.

1104
01:18:15.159 --> 01:18:20.319
You get that from I've talked to other people in

1105
01:18:20.319 --> 01:18:24.319
a person and it really does affect you it incredibly.

1106
01:18:24.359 --> 01:18:27.760
Does Do you remember anything about what this smell was

1107
01:18:27.840 --> 01:18:28.760
like that you were.

1108
01:18:32.159 --> 01:18:32.239
It?

1109
01:18:32.439 --> 01:18:39.399
Honestly, if you've ever been around an area where you

1110
01:18:39.479 --> 01:18:45.359
smell something dead in the woods, that's about the closest

1111
01:18:45.520 --> 01:18:46.560
that I could describe.

1112
01:18:46.560 --> 01:18:51.720
It almost smelled like they were bathed in.

1113
01:18:51.800 --> 01:18:56.720
Something that it just died. It was a very overwhelming smell.

1114
01:18:58.880 --> 01:19:01.920
That's an incredible amount of time to have them so

1115
01:19:02.159 --> 01:19:05.199
close to you and walking along with you in a way.

1116
01:19:05.520 --> 01:19:07.880
Were they making any sounds during that time?

1117
01:19:10.279 --> 01:19:11.920
They seemed to make some.

1118
01:19:15.479 --> 01:19:19.319
Best I could describe it as some clicking and chattering sounds.

1119
01:19:19.479 --> 01:19:23.359
I could It was almost like it was almost like

1120
01:19:23.399 --> 01:19:27.000
the one was speaking to the other and that kind

1121
01:19:27.039 --> 01:19:30.159
of went on back and forth. They never did any

1122
01:19:31.479 --> 01:19:35.800
extremely aggressive sounds, but it was more like a clicking

1123
01:19:35.840 --> 01:19:38.279
and clacking sound that they were doing with their teeth.

1124
01:19:38.920 --> 01:19:42.600
And whenever they would do it, one one would move

1125
01:19:42.760 --> 01:19:46.520
or motion in closer towards me. And when the other

1126
01:19:46.600 --> 01:19:50.840
one would communicate back than the one on my right

1127
01:19:51.680 --> 01:19:55.760
would move a little bit further, and they they never

1128
01:19:55.840 --> 01:19:58.640
got any closer than about twenty or twenty five feet.

1129
01:19:58.720 --> 01:20:03.039
They stayed out of that just they stayed right there

1130
01:20:03.520 --> 01:20:06.239
close to me, but they never got closer than about

1131
01:20:06.279 --> 01:20:07.520
twenty or twenty five feet.

1132
01:20:07.560 --> 01:20:10.760
But twenty or twenty five feet is pretty close when.

1133
01:20:10.600 --> 01:20:14.760
It's something that's got that much size at vantage arms.

1134
01:20:16.239 --> 01:20:19.800
Were they doing anything with their hands, like any gestures

1135
01:20:19.880 --> 01:20:21.439
or sign language or anything.

1136
01:20:21.119 --> 01:20:25.319
Like that, No, sir, Yeah, it was mostly it was

1137
01:20:25.399 --> 01:20:28.399
mostly just these little clicking noises that they seem to

1138
01:20:28.399 --> 01:20:30.039
be doing with their teeth with each other.

1139
01:20:32.800 --> 01:20:36.279
That is extremely interesting. That has come up in one

1140
01:20:36.399 --> 01:20:39.680
or two stories that I've taken where it was like

1141
01:20:39.720 --> 01:20:43.239
a clicking type noise of the teeth. So that is

1142
01:20:43.319 --> 01:20:47.680
pretty cool to hear. Wow, thank you so much for

1143
01:20:47.720 --> 01:20:49.840
coming up and for Sharon. I'm glad that you were

1144
01:20:49.840 --> 01:20:54.800
able to get through that that crazy twelve hour time

1145
01:20:54.880 --> 01:20:57.960
period and that Search and Rescue was able to find you.

1146
01:20:58.600 --> 01:21:02.680
Is this a conversation I could put on my big

1147
01:21:02.720 --> 01:21:04.039
foot podcasts.

1148
01:21:03.560 --> 01:21:08.279
That I have, Yes, sir, that's fine, all right.

1149
01:21:08.760 --> 01:21:10.640
I thank you so much for coming up. I am

1150
01:21:10.640 --> 01:21:12.720
going to go ahead and follow you just in case

1151
01:21:12.760 --> 01:21:15.640
I have any other follow up questions, if that's all right.

1152
01:21:17.079 --> 01:21:17.439
Yeah.

1153
01:21:17.560 --> 01:21:20.119
And one of the one of the funniest things that

1154
01:21:20.239 --> 01:21:22.720
I found with the whole situation. I don't know if

1155
01:21:22.720 --> 01:21:25.880
I said it before, but one of the rescuers whatever

1156
01:21:25.920 --> 01:21:31.079
I spoke to him. I asked him, point blake, there's

1157
01:21:31.079 --> 01:21:34.600
stuff out here that shouldn't be because I didn't want

1158
01:21:34.600 --> 01:21:36.840
to sound I didn't want to sound like a crazy

1159
01:21:36.920 --> 01:21:39.239
person saying that. And the guy looked me right in

1160
01:21:39.279 --> 01:21:41.720
the face and never bat it an I and said, yes, sir,

1161
01:21:41.760 --> 01:21:44.359
there's lots of them out here. We see him all

1162
01:21:44.399 --> 01:21:47.960
the time. And at that point I just felt baffled

1163
01:21:48.319 --> 01:21:51.680
that they know that they're in that area and they're

1164
01:21:51.720 --> 01:21:57.439
not forewarning campers and visitors and stuff. I'll never understand

1165
01:21:57.439 --> 01:21:59.760
that aspect of it. I know that they don't want

1166
01:21:59.760 --> 01:22:02.319
to put that out there and lose people come into

1167
01:22:02.399 --> 01:22:03.319
the parks and all that.

1168
01:22:03.279 --> 01:22:05.359
Stuff, But if you know that they're in an.

1169
01:22:05.319 --> 01:22:08.640
Area like that, and the guy never even batted an I,

1170
01:22:08.960 --> 01:22:14.640
he didn't question what I said. I feel like they

1171
01:22:14.760 --> 01:22:16.920
just have to do a better job with letting the

1172
01:22:16.960 --> 01:22:18.239
public know what's going on.

1173
01:22:20.239 --> 01:22:22.239
I would agree. I would say the truth needs to

1174
01:22:22.279 --> 01:22:25.239
get out there and people need to realize what is

1175
01:22:25.279 --> 01:22:27.560
actually going out there. So I'm totally on board with you,

1176
01:22:28.319 --> 01:22:30.399
but it just a double check you are okay with

1177
01:22:30.439 --> 01:22:32.119
this being put on the podcast.

1178
01:22:33.560 --> 01:22:37.279
Yes, sir, people people need to know. I've tried to.

1179
01:22:37.600 --> 01:22:39.720
I've tried to let as many people and friends and

1180
01:22:39.760 --> 01:22:44.520
family know as possible. And because it's a scary thought

1181
01:22:44.600 --> 01:22:47.720
to know that they're out there in the woods that

1182
01:22:47.960 --> 01:22:52.319
close to where campers and hikers and people go each

1183
01:22:52.359 --> 01:22:56.640
and every single day, that that area in Skyline Skyline

1184
01:22:56.720 --> 01:23:02.119
Drive and going to those overlooks there, there's probably hundreds

1185
01:23:02.119 --> 01:23:05.079
and hundreds of people that go through that area in

1186
01:23:05.119 --> 01:23:08.720
the spring and summertime because there's all these hiking trails,

1187
01:23:08.760 --> 01:23:12.720
there's waterfalls all along that route, there's all these overlooks

1188
01:23:12.720 --> 01:23:18.239
that you can park your car and take pictures. And

1189
01:23:18.319 --> 01:23:20.640
for the sheer amount of people that are going through there,

1190
01:23:20.760 --> 01:23:22.800
the public should have some kind of warning.

1191
01:23:24.800 --> 01:23:29.119
I agree one hundred percent, Ryan, and feel free to

1192
01:23:29.159 --> 01:23:31.399
reach out if you have anything else you need to

1193
01:23:31.439 --> 01:23:33.920
talk to. But thank you so much for coming out man.

1194
01:23:35.359 --> 01:23:37.680
Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something

1195
01:23:37.720 --> 01:23:40.920
directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're

1196
01:23:40.960 --> 01:23:44.680
in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've

1197
01:23:44.720 --> 01:23:47.560
seen something that no one can explain, or if you're

1198
01:23:47.600 --> 01:23:50.880
a National park ranger or forestry worker who's been told

1199
01:23:50.880 --> 01:23:54.319
to stay quiet. If you're a pilot who's seen something

1200
01:23:54.399 --> 01:23:57.319
strange down on the ground, or if you're with the

1201
01:23:57.439 --> 01:24:00.720
FBI a federal agency, or working in tel diligence and

1202
01:24:00.760 --> 01:24:03.680
you've stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about.

1203
01:24:03.960 --> 01:24:06.880
And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue

1204
01:24:06.920 --> 01:24:10.800
responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense.

1205
01:24:11.319 --> 01:24:15.159
If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field,

1206
01:24:15.319 --> 01:24:18.319
or a trucker with government contracts and you've had something

1207
01:24:18.439 --> 01:24:21.840
happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're

1208
01:24:21.840 --> 01:24:25.720
a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under

1209
01:24:25.760 --> 01:24:29.119
contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.

1210
01:24:29.640 --> 01:24:32.119
If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a

1211
01:24:32.159 --> 01:24:35.640
spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith,

1212
01:24:36.319 --> 01:24:39.439
or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or

1213
01:24:39.479 --> 01:24:42.840
anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't,

1214
01:24:44.199 --> 01:24:47.640
then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.

carry alone. And you're not alone. You've got the story,

1218
