Season 1
What happens when a seasoned rock climber rappels into the heart of Tennessee’s mountain wilderness — and comes face to face with not one, but two Sasquatch?

In this chilling and unforgettable episode of Bigfoot Society, Jeremiah Byron shares the story of "Project Broken Man," a Tennessee native whose solo climb turned into a life-altering encounter. Hanging 90 feet above ground, he comes eye-to-eye with a massive, amber-eyed creature — and witnesses something few ever have: a juvenile Bigfoot swinging on his rope. That’s just one of the jaw-dropping stories in this episode, which also features nighttime encounters in Oklahoma City, a Sasquatch grabbing a goose in broad daylight at a Washington truck stop, and a train engineer who kept his Massachusetts sighting secret for over 20 years.

You’ll hear stories from Lake Wales, Teleco Plains, Clark Forest, the Berkshires, and beyond — places where the shadows move, and sometimes... watch back.

Whether you're a longtime believer or a curious skeptic, this episode delivers raw, emotional accounts of encounters with the unknown. More than just stories — this is the sound of people grappling with what they saw and the truths they carry.

00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:05.240
You're listening to Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron Tonight's

2
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:07.679
story isn't from a hiker or a hunter. It's from

3
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:09.960
a man who grew up in the deep woods of Tennessee,

4
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:15.080
where the mountains whisper, secrets, and sometimes scream. While repelling

5
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.440
down a ninety foot cliff, he came face to face

6
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:21.559
with something enormous, amber eyes, black fur, and a second

7
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:25.280
set of eyes, smaller watching And it wasn't just one,

8
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.120
and it wasn't happy to see him. This isn't a

9
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.280
campfire tale. It's a first hand encounter with a creature

10
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:33.840
that didn't want to be seen. This is a story

11
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.439
of project broken man and what he saw clinging to

12
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.640
his rope in the mountains of Teleco Plains, Tennessee. So

13
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:45.600
stay with us. Hey, hey, everyone, let me know if

14
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:51.000
you can hear me in the in the comments down there.

15
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:55.039
We're just going to hang out see if anyone's got

16
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:58.479
any bigfoot stories to share. Guys, did you see the

17
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.159
video over on the how to Hunt YouTube channel of

18
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:08.040
the family of Sasquatch along the river out there in Idaho.

19
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.120
It is a wild video. You guys should check that out.

20
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.239
Let me know in the comments if you've seen this video,

21
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.519
if you have any thoughts as to what it is.

22
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.359
I don't know. It looks pretty legit. Some dude sent

23
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.280
it into him, and I see in the comments over

24
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.280
there that other people have had access to this video

25
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:29.480
as well, they just haven't been able to share it yet.

26
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.400
It looks pretty legit. I mean, you can see long,

27
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.439
long arms, You can see the little ones running way

28
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.040
quicker than anything else should. It doesn't look like an

29
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:45.200
AI video. I do a ton with AI. It does

30
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.480
not look like an AI video to me. So I

31
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:53.200
don't know. We will see. Hey Bear, thanks for coming out.

32
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:55.280
Do you mind if I potentially use this audio for

33
00:01:55.359 --> 00:02:00.560
my podcast? Yeah? Sure, okay, the audio is a little

34
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.920
bit a little bit faint as well. I don't know

35
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:06.840
if you're able to get a little closer to your phone.

36
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.400
Yeah, did you hear me now?

37
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:10.520
Now?

38
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:11.159
Can you hear me now?

39
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:11.719
Oh? That's great?

40
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:12.520
Yeah, you got it man?

41
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:13.319
Perfect?

42
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.400
Okay. So yeah, so my partner and I we we

43
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.319
uh we worked for agriculture and we were at three

44
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:24.159
am out in Lake Wells just doing our thing and

45
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:28.400
he stopped and turned off his lights and it was

46
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.000
it was kind of crazy where uh. He said, hey,

47
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.080
look at this, and he shined the lights on and

48
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.680
we saw a big, old figure, a brown figure, take

49
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.879
off like human like and this thing flew, I mean

50
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:43.599
it flew and I was like, no, that can't be

51
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.199
that can't be right. So we ended up looking up

52
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.120
online and there has been several sightings in Lake Wells

53
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.000
about bigfoot around that area.

54
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.599
Oh man, can you do you remember any uh any

55
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:00.280
details about what you were able to see that morning? Yeah?

56
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.599
Actually it was. It was really big, I mean very big,

57
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.159
but it stood up. It must have been at least

58
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:11.000
over six foot, very big and bulky, brownish like brown,

59
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:15.280
kind of blackish. A very distinct odor, like a bad

60
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.639
skunk smell that was going off. It was like, you know,

61
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:22.080
we're like, man, we never smelt like that before. But

62
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:26.319
it ran off into the woods and we're like okay.

63
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.080
So about about two hours later we came back out

64
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.639
to the field when it was daylight. I ended up

65
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.960
going to the pond and looking around and saw a

66
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.080
couple of tree branches that were freshly broken the way

67
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:41.800
where he that that thing was going, and and a

68
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.120
piece of log that was being dragged out of the pond,

69
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.840
and ever since then. We kind of joke around, but

70
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.599
like we're gonna go out there and visit Bigfoot, and

71
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.879
we still go to that to that field. So we

72
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.240
just looked it up online and there was a lot

73
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.240
of people in Lake Wells that had sightings, even on

74
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.919
the highway out there or a highway twenty seven and

75
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.120
the latest one, I think was, I believe was two

76
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.360
thousand and nine. I believe that's the last time we

77
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:09.400
saw something like that.

78
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:15.520
Was it overly muscular or skinny?

79
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:20.120
It was it was muscular. It was very big, very big,

80
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.519
but it ran so fast on two legs. It just

81
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:26.959
I mean, it was fast like it was We never

82
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.240
seen anything run that fast before. Ever.

83
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.519
When you saw it running, was it doing anything with

84
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:38.160
its arms or moving its legs in a certain way.

85
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:42.639
It was kind of running like a like an eight

86
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:44.120
ke in the beginning and.

87
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:54.399
Either oh, you know what I mean.

88
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.040
So it was kind of getting abo off the pond

89
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:57.839
like it was sitting at the pond, got up, and

90
00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:59.040
then next time it just took off.

91
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.040
Got it. We actually cut out for a little bit.

92
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.160
Would you be able to say about how his uh

93
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:07.720
you said, he started moving like an ape and then

94
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:08.839
it turned into something else.

95
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.639
Yeah, it got up like an ape like kind of

96
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.439
figured like your arms are like it's kind of like

97
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.800
a silverback does when he gets up from squatting. His

98
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.079
arms are dangling like, you know, just dangling on the

99
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:27.199
side of them. And once he once he spotted us,

100
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.680
he started taking off. And then when he was running,

101
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:31.879
it was just a little motion on his arms, not

102
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.839
like a human, like a little bending of his elbows,

103
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:40.000
but his legs were not completely straightened. It was kind

104
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:42.040
of like bent, kind of like like he was running

105
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.000
in a squatted position, but he was just whatever it was,

106
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.519
it was moving so fast that we lost it that quick.

107
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.959
It was like a minute we saw and it just

108
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:53.000
disappeared in the woods.

109
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.920
Wow, that's that is while were you able to see

110
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:58.519
any details of its face at all?

111
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:01.959
No, not at all. It was so dark up there,

112
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.480
I mean, at three o'clock in the morning, there's no

113
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:05.920
lights and out in the prairie, you know, there's no lights.

114
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:09.120
It just our truck lights, and we we just got

115
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.319
a glimpse of it the backside and then the side

116
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.360
of it, and that was it and never looked toward

117
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.879
us or anything like that. And ever since then we're

118
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:19.920
kind of like we're kind of like spoofed out a

119
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.279
little bit, if you want to say, going out there,

120
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:25.120
and we always looking, We're always looking for any kind

121
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.639
of signs are out there. And I overheard you saying,

122
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.000
you know, like like the deers, you know, a lot

123
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.639
of animals out there in the forest. Nothing. We saw

124
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.680
a couple of cow skeletons out there, and we asked

125
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.160
the rancher, and the rancher doesn't know how this cow

126
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:44.560
died at all, so, you know, so we you know,

127
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.439
we didn't know what to do. We thought we were

128
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.240
just kind of tripping, but you know, I just ran

129
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.040
into your TikTok and I was like, wow, I got

130
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.040
to tell my story here that you know, everybody might think, oh,

131
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:55.879
you crazy, but I'm not crazy.

132
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.639
I know what I saw absolutely bear. Thank you for

133
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.720
coming up to share. You guys were looking at what

134
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.439

coming up.

138
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.199
Man, Yeah, I appreciate it. Thank you, And trust me,

139
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.319
we're trying to get pictures. We're going to see it again.

140
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:16.199
I guarantee it.

141
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:25.720
Yes, sir, Thank you, Oh good good stuff. What an

142
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.639
interesting encounter from the Lake Wales area. Thank your sinister,

143
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:36.839
A sinister, how's it going good?

144
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:38.560
How are you today? Good?

145
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.040
Do you mind if I potentially use this audio for

146
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:42.800
a podcast episode?

147
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.240
Absolutely awesome?

148
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.639
So what do you have to share today, sir?

149
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:53.759
Well, you know my in the interest of full disclosure,

150
00:07:54.920 --> 00:08:01.959
my interest is not necessarily with Bigfoot. I am very

151
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:09.279
deeply involved with a different interest, which actually caused me

152
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.360
to move to where I live now to pursue it more.

153
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:23.480
But when I was a teenager, my father was very

154
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:29.240
good friends with a man who had recently retired from

155
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:35.720
the CIA, and he was over at our house one

156
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:40.000
night for dinner. And this is the type of man

157
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:46.279
that would have no reason to tell a liar anything,

158
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:51.519
and me being the curious person I was, because in

159
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:52.799
an experience.

160
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:53.399
That I had had.

161
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.679
When I was young, I asked him, I said, hey,

162
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:00.000
you know, tell me some stuff.

163
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:02.919
And he.

164
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:08.320
Did tell me that anything that he knew as a

165
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:18.399
CIA agent, that he was bound to secrecy for obvious reasons.

166
00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:25.639
One thing he did say was that if the general

167
00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:32.720
public knew the truth about what is out there, he

168
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.840
estimated that ten percent of the public would jump off

169
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.399
a building because they wouldn't build the hand troup. Now,

170
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:43.360
so he proceeded to tell me something. He says, Now,

171
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:47.960
this is not CIA related. So he was able to

172
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:51.000
tell me this story, and I've never forgotten it. He

173
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:59.440
was flying in a helicopter in Missouri and they started

174
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:05.519
tracking a what he guessed was an eight foot tall

175
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:12.720
bipedal you know, you said it looked like a bigfoot,

176
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.799
and it was running and they clocked it at about

177
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:21.759
forty five miles an hour, and they kept a spotlight

178
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:28.120
a light on it as it ran. And uh, you know.

179
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:32.279
So this was not involved with his work with the government,

180
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:34.519
but a personal experience.

181
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:40.559
Bring up, Timmy here, how's it going? Hey, how's it going?

182
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:42.879
Coming up to share something about bigfoot?

183
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:47.000
You've yes? Awesome.

184
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:48.759
Do you mind if I potentially use this audio for

185
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:49.480
my podcast?

186
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:51.720
Not a problem addle, all right?

187
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:53.000
Feel free to go ahead there.

188
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.120
So I used to be a long haul trucker and

189
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.720
I was picking up a load of pay to take

190
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:04.720
down to be made into cardboard in Washington, and there

191
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:06.519
was like a three hour wait for our load to

192
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:09.279
be ready. So we stopped at a place called GC's

193
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:12.720
truck stop. It's about like twenty six miles north of

194
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:18.000
the Washington Oregon border on Interstate five, and the truck

195
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.879
stops whole theme is Bigfoot.

196
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:21.360
But they have a.

197
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:23.639
Huge dirt parking lot. So we kind of parked out

198
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.360
of the way from everybody, me and my teammate. And

199
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.240
my teammate was inside getting some food. I was running

200
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:31.519
around the truck, doing what's called a pre trip to

201
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:34.159
make sure the truck was in good running order. And

202
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.080
so I stopped and I pulled out my cigarettes and

203
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:40.080
I was smoking. And so the way the truck stop

204
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:43.080
is set up, the parking lot is kind of south

205
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.639
of the truck stop and then there's the big buildings,

206
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:49.240
and behind the buildings is it's like a little pond

207
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.080
with a little gated area that has like ducks, geese

208
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.600
and stuff. And so I'm looking over there. I could

209
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.080
see the geese and ducks flapping around, playing around, and

210
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.639
behind that it's all four and so I see some

211
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:04.919
movement in the forest. I don't think anything of it.

212
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:07.679
I'm thinking I'm dear or whatever. So I continue going

213
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.159
about my way and then I kind of looked back

214
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.000
and I'm like, you know what, was that, and it

215
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.279
was big, and it was brown, and I was probably

216
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.759
about one hundred and fifty yards away from it, so

217
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.360
I couldn't see too clearly because of the distance. But

218
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.600
this thing was massive, and it walked out from the

219
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.360
trees down to this pond area. And now mind you,

220
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:30.879
this is middle of the day, like two three o'clock.

221
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:34.159
It's not cloudy, it's not rainy or anything. It walks

222
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:37.320
out and it walks up to the pond, reaches over

223
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.960
the fence, and it grabs a goose. Now, the geese

224
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.840
and the ducks were not freaking out, so I do

225
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:48.600
think personally there might be a possibility it was a hoax.

226
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:54.639
Maybe somebody was dressed in, you know, dressed up trying

227
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:56.600
to draw attention, because like I said, the trucks offs

228
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.039
holl theme was bigfoot, but it was big, like this

229
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.639
thing leaned over a four foot fence and reached into

230
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:07.919
the pond that was probably a good two feet away

231
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:09.960
from the edge of the fence, and grab a goose

232
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:14.600
and it walked just casually walked back off into the forest.

233
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.320
So I'm like, again, I was about one hundred and

234
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:23.559
fifty yards away, so distance and sizing, I can't give

235
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:26.320
you an accurate but I would guess the thing was

236
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:27.919
at least eight feet tall.

237
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:32.600
Timmy, have you have you called in before?

238
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:36.360
I don't know, maybe I have.

239
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.080
I hop into random lives all the time.

240
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:42.519
Okay, I can't remember your voice, but I do remember

241
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:47.399
someone actually sharing about this exact truck stop and that

242
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.879
they saw one with a goose, So I don't you

243
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:52.120
You may have come in before.

244
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.120
It very well might have been me.

245
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.960
Yes, okay, okay, I was just checking because when you

246
00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.840
have two things like that happen at the same place

247
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.320
and you really need to pay attention to it, that's

248
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:06.440
that's incredible. And the interesting thing is that they weren't

249
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:09.320
really responding. They're just hanging out like the birds.

250
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:12.240
Yeah, they like when I went up to the gated

251
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:15.120
area afterwards, like they kind of they didn't like freak

252
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:16.919
out anything, but they swam away from the edge of

253
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.559
the water away from me, which is why I kind

254
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:23.639
of think maybe potentially it might have been somebody. Because

255
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:27.519
geese are very territorial. They will attack if you get

256
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:31.679
too close to them, so it's absolutely that's the only

257
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:36.240
reason why I'm like, maybe it wasn't real, But like

258
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:39.799
I don't know how they could fake the size of it, like,

259
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:41.679
because this, like I said, it had to have been

260
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.720
at least eight foot tall, because the fence was like

261
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.759
four foot high. I'm six foot five and the gate

262
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:53.879
came up to about mid gut for me, and this

263
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:57.080
thing leaned over at the hips and grabbed the goots

264
00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.240
and then turn around and it just casually walked back

265
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:01.360
in or like you know, just taking a stroll through

266
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.919
the woods. It wasn't running. It wasn't, you know, like

267
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.120
trying to hide itself.

268
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:06.559
Bigs.

269
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.080
A society will be right back after these messages.

270
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:29.759
That's the only reason that's got my skeptic mind saying

271
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:31.480
maybe it wasn't real.

272
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:34.879
It's in the perfect spot though. I mean, it's just

273
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:38.480
north of like Longview and Castle Rock, and I mean,

274
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:40.559
you hear so much from that area at least I

275
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.200
get a ton of stuff in my emails about that.

276
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.879
But have you heard any of your other trucker buddies

277
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.000
that shared things that they've experienced out there as well?

278
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.720
Or Yeah, as a matter of fact, so a good

279
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.440
friend of mine that's also a trucker, he used to

280
00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:59.519
do what's called a deadhead from sun Nor, Washington, straight

281
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:02.320
down the Eye five into northern California to pick uploads

282
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.360
and go back and forth like that was his run,

283
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.120
and he would stop up there to fuel and get

284
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.399
food and stuff. He said several times that you could

285
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:15.240
hear like loud like hollering and tree knocks, I guess

286
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:17.639
is what he calls it. And then yeah, he said

287
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.279
that there you could see in the forests, like he said,

288
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.080
you can see stuff moving around. He's like, I never

289
00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:27.440
actually saw anything come out of the woods, but he

290
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.240
said I saw several Like he said, if they're there,

291
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.399
there's multiple of them. It's not just like a single thing.

292
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:35.919
He's like, I couldn't tell if it was moose. He goes,

293
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:37.279
I don't know if they have moose in the area.

294
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:39.440
But he goes, this thing, the things that I saw

295
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:41.679
were big, But he goes, I hear these weird like

296
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:46.399
loud like like hoop noises, like something's like trying to

297
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:50.120
scare something off. And if you watch, like you know,

298
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:53.399
like the Bigfoot TV stuff, you know what they it's.

299
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:55.919
He said, it sounds very similar to that. He goes,

300
00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:58.360
it could very well be a you know, an regular

301
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:00.960
animal to the area. But he goes, I don't know

302
00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:03.120
after what you saw, He goes, I think there is

303
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.079
something up there, and then like there's there's a lot

304
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.920
of whispers from the people up there that they see

305
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:10.799
stuff all the time. And that's the whole reason why

306
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.480
the truck stop themed their stuff after the big Foot,

307
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:16.519
because there's been several major sightings in the area.

308
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:19.759
Interesting, you know what, I'm gonna I'm going to give

309
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:22.559
that truck stop a call, you know what, since I

310
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:25.279
don't think it was a coincidence that you came in

311
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.480
here twice over the years, and uh yeah, I'm gonna

312
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:29.039
give a call.

313
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:29.599
And just ask him.

314
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:32.519
Let's see what happens. So thank you for coming up, Timmy.

315
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:35.279
Yeah, no problem that it's called g like gee and

316
00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:38.480
then ceees truck stop GC's truck Stop.

317
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.839
Yep, absolutely all right, thank you man, not a problem.

a good story from over there GC's Truck Stop in Toledo, Washington.

320
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:57.440
Riff Warden says, I have a story in Oklahoma. All right,

321

00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:15.319
So this was at least fifteen or so years ago.

328
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:18.319
I'm in my mid thirties, so this was when I

329
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:22.519
was probably sixteen or seventeen, Me and about four of

330
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:26.319
my friends. This was located in Oklahoma City, northwest Oklahoma City,

331
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:28.839
on the outskirts of the city limits where it starts

332
00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:33.680
to turn into kind of the rural areas. There's spots

333
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:38.400
and patches of dense forestry and rivers kind of between

334
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:41.160
all of the fields and it kind of interconnects everything.

335
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:45.640
We went out to a big field and we had

336
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:49.359
three trucks. We all piled in, three different trucks. We

337
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:52.759
went out there to basically start a bonfire, hangout, and

338
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:55.680
you know, drink and just have a good time. We

339
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:58.279
ended up staying up pretty late. It was probably two

340
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:00.599
or three in the morning. We start to just kind

341
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:03.480
of trekking out and just exploring, just you know, being kids,

342
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.279
going underneath the road passes and all through the woods

343
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:10.839
and stuff. Didn't really see anything. Everything felt pretty normal,

344
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:15.119
didn't hear anything, you know, everything was fine. One guy

345
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:18.559
stayed behind because he was tired, so he wanted to

346
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.000
go sleep in his truck. When we came back to

347
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:24.359
where we had parked all of our trucks in the fire,

348
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:27.839
all of us were tired. We all climbed in the trucks.

349
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:30.880
That's where we slept, and there was like an sub

350
00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:34.039
two pickup trucks that had, you know, enough room for

351
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:36.599
all of us to kind of sprawl out, So we

352
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:40.000
all ended up going to bed in the middle of

353
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:44.160
the night. We kept hearing thuds and like loud sounds

354
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.319
outside and it was pretty cold, so all the windows

355
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:51.319
had kind of fogged up and we couldn't see anything outside.

356
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:53.480
And I don't know who all was awake in.

357
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:54.079
The other trucks.

358
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:55.559
I just know that two of us were awaken the

359
00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:58.200
one that I was in. We didn't really think anything

360
00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:00.000
of it. Thought maybe it was the other guy's getting

361
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:02.000
out going to the bathroom something like that getting out

362
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:05.559
of the trucks, fell asleep, woke up early in the morning.

363
00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:08.400
Where there's just a dew on everything. There's a dew

364
00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:12.759
on the windshield or on the windshield and like the

365
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:18.000
windows on the sides, and there had been like wiped

366
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.400
away marks or you can see like big handprints, and

367
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:25.839
it like something basically was going around the trucks. Something

368
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:29.079
or someone was basically going around the trucks and looking

369
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.200
inside and trying to see who all was in there

370
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:34.160
and what was going on. And the weirdest thing about it,

371
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:35.400
I would have thought it would have just been like

372
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:38.359
a normal person, But the handprints were huge, and then

373
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:41.319
there were huge footprints all outside the trucks that were

374
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.039
like two times ours as far as like the like

375
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.079
how big they were, and so I'm were like a

376
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.599
size eleven, so it's a pretty significant footprint. I didn't

377
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:55.519
see anything, didn't hear anything, but it spooked all of

378
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:58.839
us because something had been kind of walking around the

379
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:02.039
trucks peering in the window that was way bigger than us.

380
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:04.759
So it's either a prank and nobody there swore it

381
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:07.799
was them. Like everybody was like completely freaked out. So

382
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:09.839
either somebody in our group pranked us and they just

383
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:13.720
did a really good job of lying or something somebody

384
00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:14.839
or something else was there.

385
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:19.039
Oh man, rip, that's wild. Was there any residue left

386
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:21.920
on the windows after it had wiped the windows?

387
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:23.160
Yeah, you could see what.

388
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:25.359
You know, how if you put a handprint on something,

389
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:28.240
you can kind of see the ridges from your hand.

390
00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:30.759
There was quite a few of those, like on the

391
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.799
fingers and then around the palm area at the bottom,

392
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:36.359
so you could definitely tell it wasn't a situation because

393
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:37.960
I thought someone had put their hand up there and

394
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.799
swiped it. But it was just like a straight like

395
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:44.480
handprint straight on it and like a white So it's

396
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:45.319
super interesting.

397
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:51.960
How hard was it for that owner to clean those windows?

398
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:53.240
We did?

399
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:54.960
I don't know. I mean we all took off that

400
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:57.319
next morning and didn't think anything of it until kind

401
00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:59.640
of like afterwards, and so it's just kind of one

402
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:01.480
of those like weird memories that just stick with you

403
00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:02.039
over time.

404
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.000
Absolutely. Well, man, thanks for coming up and for sharing it.

405
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.920
That's a really interesting anecdote from that area. I don't

406
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:10.240
get a lot from that area, so.

407
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:13.400
Thank you, No no problem, I appreciate it all.

408
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:14.880
Right, A Candice, how's it going?

409
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:16.559
Hey? How are you doing?

410
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:19.240
Doing good? Do you mind if I potentially use this

411
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:20.519
audio for my podcast?

412
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:25.079
I've already been on your podcast twice.

413
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:31.440
Oh my god, it sounds so familiar. Yeah, wow, up too,

414
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.960
So it's okay, It's okay if I hold on to

415
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:37.039
this audio then.

416
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:42.519
Yeah, yeah, well I came to town because I had

417
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:44.960
to move from where I was at because it was

418
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:49.920
so active, and uh, you know, I'd had I had

419
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:54.200
pictures and stuff, but I had a whole lot more

420
00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:58.839
that got taken somehow, some ways I had shared them,

421
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:06.599
and next thing on, all myself's gone and anyway, well,

422
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:10.359
I've been in town, so there's not been you know,

423
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:13.640
it's been good. That's been since like December tenth. But

424
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:19.000
I'm moving Sunday and I'm moving to Washington County. But

425
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:21.240
it's still out in the country and the house kind

426
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:24.319
of sits back off the road kind of like it's

427
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:25.960
just all forests and stuff.

428
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:28.240
So I'm going to see how it goes.

429
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:35.559
Anything happens or I have experiences or anything like that,

430
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:36.759
I will let you know.

431
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:38.039
Thank you.

432
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:40.799
I appreciate that. I hope you I hope you're doing well.

433
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.519
Oh I'm doing good. I'm doing good. You know.

434
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.759
I listen to a lot of the programs and stuff

435
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:53.119
like that, and I like to read comments and I

436
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.519
like to hear other people's opinions. But for the ones

437
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.480
out there that say it's somebody in a cost tomb

438
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.920
or anything like that, I beg to differ. Uh, and

439
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:08.799
I have seen more than just Bigfoot. There's other things

440
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:12.759
out there that people do not realize. And the veil

441
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:17.599
is thinny, so more things, well.

442
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:19.119
More things are coming forward.

443
00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:23.279
And you know, like the Bible says, men's hearts will

444
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:25.799
fail them for the fear of the things that come

445
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:26.640
upon the earth.

446
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:27.920
They're already here.

447
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:33.039
Not everybody has has the experience to know and to

448
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:38.039
see that it's gonna start coming forward more and more

449
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:41.079
and more. I do believe that with all my heart.

450
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:45.319
I know the real and nobody's gonna tell me any different.

451
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:50.160
There is an episode coming out soon, Candae about southern Indiana.

452
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:52.559
Who's your National Forest? I don't think it's out yet,

453
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:55.119
but it is crazy. You're gonna love it, so keep

454
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:56.000
an eye out for it.

455
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:58.559
Oh good, I will, I will well.

456
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:01.640
Where I'm at right now, I don't live far from

457
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:07.480
like the Clark Forestry, so uh and where I was,

458
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.799
I was ten miles further out, but I lived pretty

459
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.079
far back up in the woods and stuff. But uh,

460
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:21.440
something's coming to my window every night and snipping, snipping

461
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:25.000
the air. All of my all of my batteries, even

462
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:27.400
brand new, I can put them in one hour before

463
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:29.119
I set up anything.

464
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:32.319
Uh, motion sensor lights all that stuff.

465
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:39.519
We go dead, like all all of the batteries were drained.

466
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:48.160
So I don't, you know, it's just there's it's like

467
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:53.480
so much because you're living this and things start happen.

468
00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:57.240
When they happen, it's kind of subtle and it makes

469
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:00.440
you question yourself like did I see that or did.

470
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:00.799
I hear that?

471
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.519
You know, or what was that? And then so you

472
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:09.960
listen again, and you know, you have to watch who

473
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:12.920
you tell stuff to you because then everybody cause you crazy.

474
00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:20.400
But it's like I have so much evidence, okay.

475
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:29.880
And another encounter that we had, we had went about

476
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:33.400
maybe three or four miles back into the property where

477
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:36.559
I was and was camping in a tent and stuff

478
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:40.119
back there, and uh, we had to call nine one

479
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:40.920
one and the.

480
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:41.559
Police went in.

481
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:43.720
There was like four or five cop cars, but not

482
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:46.920
one of them come back there. They had to send

483
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:49.759
my cousin back there to get us. Yeah, because we

484
00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:55.160
couldn't until somebody come back there because our tent got

485
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:56.160
pushed down on.

486
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:01.240
It was just crazy.

487
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:05.160
Wow, they wouldn't even touch the area. That's wild, Oh

488
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:05.680
my goodness.

489
00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:08.480
And then when we got out there, they kept questioning.

490
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:12.240
They said, well, why wouldn't you answer dispatch when.

491
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:15.279
Something was said? And I told him, I said, we couldn't.

492
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:19.799
I said, something kept taking turning our phone off, you

493
00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:22.920
know because I had my phone and my cousin had

494
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:28.839
her phone, and uh, we just got really quiet and

495
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:30.920
kind of dimmed the lights, but they were pushing down

496
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:31.960
on the tents and everything.

497
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:33.440
And then the one.

498
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:36.440
Police officer, I said, why didn't you all come back there?

499
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:39.079
At least y'all have weapons and you have your flashlights

500
00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:41.759
and stuff. And they was like, nah, we're fine, but

501
00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:45.319
we need to know what you've seen and how tall

502
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:52.000
was it? And uh uh, you know, basically there wasn't

503
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:53.039
a whole lot they could do.

504
00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:57.039
Yeah, they just need to. They're just keeping eyes on

505
00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:00.640
the right areas and didn't telling the people, well they

506
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:01.799
know they're back there.

507
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:03.640
Well, I want to tell you what I want to

508
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:06.920
tell you right now, because I know that we've kept

509
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:09.079
the topic come in foot and everything, but I'll tell

510
00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:12.960
you what we see back there, and uh, we see

511
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:14.880
it more than two or three times.

512
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:20.279
And you know, uh, I mean, I know there's wolves,

513
00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:21.680
serfs of coats.

514
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:24.880
I've been raising the country my whole life, fishing hunting

515
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:28.240
growing up doing that, so I know my animals. This

516
00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:36.839
was a werewolf, dog man, tight bean and uh it

517
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:40.680
was solid black. It had a big mane around its neck,

518
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:47.519
and its face was wolf that the snout wasn't as long,

519
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:56.039
and uh it was massive. Okay, as I can say,

520
00:28:56.200 --> 00:29:00.440
it was massive. And that is another reason and that

521
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:04.279
I moved away from there too, because I felt like

522
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:10.680
this was not just bigfoot. This was not just bigfoot

523
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:14.000
coming up to my bedroom window snipping. I felt like

524
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:23.359
it was this dog man being And every time I

525
00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:29.680
would go outside, I could feel that feeling of don't

526
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:33.720
go past the barn, you know, or turn around and

527
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:38.759
get back in lock the door, you know. And when

528
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:42.079
you're raising the country your whole life and you're a countrywoman,

529
00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:47.519
you know, you just grew up running through the woods

530
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:51.480
and all that stuff too. But I had experience at

531
00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:55.559
the age of ten, then at twelve, you know.

532
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:01.319
Yes, yes, I know we have. We've had some wild

533
00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:06.039
conversations over the years. I mean, Cannice, I'm just glad

534
00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:08.559
you're able to come back on and give give an update.

535
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:10.920
And I appreciate you you chatting for a little bit

536
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:15.640
big for society. Who will be right back after these messages.

537
00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:33.440
Oh, no problem anytime.

538
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:36.319
But like I said, I'm getting ready to move to

539
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:38.440
another county.

540
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:39.279
It's still out in.

541
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:42.880
The country and everything, but I'm hoping that you know,

542
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:48.559
it's not it's out in the country, but it's not

543
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:53.079
too isolated. So yes, ma'am, you know, like there's still

544
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:54.799
other firms around and stuff.

545
00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:59.319
Absolutely, we'll definitely reach out if you need to if

546
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:03.079
you have something that happens later on. But Candace, I

547
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:05.799
am gonna I've got another individual I want to check

548
00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:08.240
in with. But thank you so much for coming on you, ma'am.

549
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:13.799
All right, thanks, all right.

550
00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:15.880
Good to hear from Candas again. We've talked to her

551
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:19.359
a few times on the podcast. We've got Project Broken

552
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.079
Man says yes, and it goes way deeper. I'm new

553
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:24.599
to social media. Encounter to a baby and an adult

554
00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:27.880
while rock climbing and repelling from deep in the mountains

555
00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:31.519
of Tennessee. Let's see if this individual I'm going to

556
00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:34.400
try to reach out here, see if they want to

557
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:40.680
come out to share. Oh, here we go a Project

558
00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:43.880
Broken man. How's it going pretty good? How are you doing?

559
00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:47.119
Doing great? Do you mind if I potentially use this

560
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:52.839
audio for my podcast. Sure cool. So I saw your

561
00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:55.880
comments down there, and you've been having some interesting things

562
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:58.319
happen while rock climbing in Tennessee. Is that right?

563
00:31:59.200 --> 00:31:59.720
That's GREGT.

564
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:04.319
Would you be able to share about what you've been

565
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:05.359
experiencing down there?

566
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:06.559
Uh?

567
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:13.240
Yes, So, Uh, my cousin Timmy and Jesse we had

568
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:16.440
bought a bunch of repelling line and you know, trying

569
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:22.839
to get into the whole rock climbing hiking uh kind

570
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:26.680
of stuff. You know, we were we were really poor

571
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:31.359
back then and uh, you know, cutting firewood, log and

572
00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:33.440
all that good stuff, you know, as we were raised

573
00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:36.759
up in the mountains of Tennessee. And Uh, anyway, I

574
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:42.039
was a real young man and my cousin Timmy and

575
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:45.279
uh and my cousin Jesse couldn't make it the day

576
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:47.920
that we were going to go and do this rock

577
00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:51.319
this Uh it's kind of like a rock climb and repel.

578
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:54.240
Uh We've got to kind of climb up the easier

579
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:56.440
side of the mountain and then come back down that

580
00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:58.880
you know, repel back down that side. And we were

581
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:03.160
really new at it, and I decided, you know, they

582
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:05.720
wasn't going to go. So I said, you know, I'm.

583
00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:06.319
Going to go ahead and go.

584
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:08.440
I think Timmy had to work and Jesse had other

585
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:11.920
things going on, And so I drove up the mountain

586
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:18.599
this particular area it had an it almost looked like

587
00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:22.880
a cave entrance about thirty feet off the ground, and

588
00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:26.480
we always camp below it, and we always heard like

589
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:31.680
it sounded like a woman or you know, they say

590
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:35.200
mountain lions and stuff like that would literally just rip

591
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.640
and roar. But I had never seen a mountain lion

592
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:42.119
as long as I'd been up there, you know. But

593
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:44.920
you know, so we was always kind of nervous about

594
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:47.079
going up on the very top of that ridge and

595
00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:52.519
mess around much without a without a gun. And well

596
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:58.039
that day I was feeling my you know, how do

597
00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:00.279
you say it. I'm a little nervous here talking about it,

598
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:05.799
but I was kind of filling oats. And so I

599
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:10.440
drove up and uh parked my truck, got out, grabbed

600
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:15.840
my rope and all my gear climbing gear, got most

601
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:18.000
of it put on, started carrying my rope up the

602
00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:23.239
mountain and everything was just a normal day. Birds were singing,

603
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:26.360
everything was going on. They got to the top of

604
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:30.199
the ridge where we were going to repel down over

605
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:34.360
top of this cave entrance, you know, that coming down

606
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:37.840
the side of that rock bluff. And we had already

607
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:41.320
searched it out and looked at it weeks before, and

608
00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:44.840
I'd left a note with my cousin Timmy because he

609
00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:48.280
was he was working that day, and he said, you know,

610
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:50.360
I'm not going to be able to make it. And

611
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:54.320
I said, well, if you do, you know, you know,

612
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:56.320
come find me. You know where I'm going to be at.

613
00:34:56.519 --> 00:34:59.800
So he's like, okay, and so I left him another note,

614
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.239
and I might be at another little place there around

615
00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:05.360
that area, you know, so check there first. If I'm

616
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:10.280
not there, then I'm here, you know. So I get

617
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:12.880
to the top of this area here, and I tie off,

618
00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:16.000
get set up, and I start down the side of

619
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:20.119
that rock and it's about ninety feet down to the bottom,

620
00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:23.920
ninety feet down to the bottom, and there's a bunch

621
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:26.679
of trees growing up the side of these rocks. From

622
00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:29.239
the ground, they're just kind of real close to it.

623
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:34.920
And there's a like I said, from what you couldn't

624
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:39.519
see the cave from the top. You know, we just

625
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:42.480
knew it was right about that area. It had a

626
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:46.400
very slim rock path that there was no way to

627
00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:49.400
get to it. Literally, I mean unless it was like

628
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:51.920
a mountain goat or something like that maybe might have

629
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:56.400
could have got down the path or you know, it

630
00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:59.320
just was not something that a human being could get to.

631
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:00.239
Uh.

632
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:02.440
I mean, I guess if you climb the trees, you

633
00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:06.239
could have probably got to that, you know, that that

634
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:10.840
cliff area that we're that I'm talking about. Anyway, I

635
00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:14.480
uh I eased off the side of that thing nice

636
00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:17.199
and slow, taking my time because I was a little nervous.

637
00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:19.679
I was by myself, and I didn't want to you know,

638
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:25.719
slip or you know fall or anything. And uh so

639
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:27.960
I'm easing down that thing instead of just kind of

640
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:30.960
jumping and going at it. I'm just walking slow off

641
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:35.320
the side of that rock and you know, laying on down.

642
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:39.880
And I get right there close to where the rock

643
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:42.920
kind of peeks over, and I know I'm getting close

644
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:49.039
to the top of that that little cave entrance. Well

645
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.400
as I get about where that is, all of a sudden,

646
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:59.159
the rope gets just super tight, Like how can I

647
00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:05.880
explain this? It felt like a car somebody was trying

648
00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:08.920
to pull a car motor up from that rope that

649
00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:12.360
I that was hanging down off that rock. And my

650
00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:17.119
first thoughts was Timmy and them lied to me. They're

651
00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:20.159
there and they're playing a joke on me. And here

652
00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:23.719
I am hanging off this rock, you know, and they're pulling.

653
00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:27.039
You know, when you're do you know much about repelling

654
00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:27.719
and stuff?

655
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:30.639
Very little? I know the basics of it.

656
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:34.119
Yeah, okay, Well, if you have a man sometimes when

657
00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:36.239
you're learning, you'll have a man on the bottom to

658
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:39.920
break just in case you slip or anything. They can

659
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:42.239
pull the rope and it holds you tight, won't let

660
00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:45.519
you move one way or the other. And you know,

661
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:48.880
sometimes you know, you get little jokes like that plate

662
00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:51.719
on you when you're doing that kind of stuff. And

663
00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:54.519
I thought it was my cousin Timmy or Jesse or

664
00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:56.960
probably both of them, down at the foot of this

665
00:37:57.079 --> 00:38:05.079
embankment or this cliff, pulling that rope tight. So I

666
00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:08.280
yelled out, you know, dag on it. Stop messing with

667
00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:11.880
my rope. You know, it's not funny. Well the rope

668
00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:15.840
went limp again. So as soon as it went limp,

669
00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:19.639
I thought, well, they're down there, they're just messing with me.

670
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:22.840
Now it's not long before getting dark. I'd worked out

671
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:25.119
all day that day, and I'd had just enough time

672
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:27.239
to get up there and try to play around a

673
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:30.800
little bit. So I start easing down that rock a

674
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:34.480
little more. And as I come down that rock where

675
00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:38.320
I can actually see over to that you know where,

676
00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:40.000
I'm going to have to make a big jump over

677
00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:43.760
that cave entrance or I'd end up swinging in it.

678
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:48.760
And I could actually see what's going on. My rope

679
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:52.480
went tight again, and I thought what was going on?

680
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:56.119
And I looked down right as I was about to

681
00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:58.559
yell at my cousin, Timmy, and then which I thought

682
00:38:58.639 --> 00:39:03.079
was down there, I seen this black creature, young looking

683
00:39:03.119 --> 00:39:08.559
thing about four foot tall, swinging off of it, and

684
00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:10.599
I thought, well, what was this? I thought it was

685
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:13.880
like a bear. I'm like, it's not a bear. You

686
00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:18.199
know what is going on? And so I froze, like,

687
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:25.079
you know, literally went to just scared, and no longer

688
00:39:25.079 --> 00:39:30.639
than that thing swung back in, something bigger stepped out

689
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:34.360
and looked up at me. And when it did, you

690
00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:36.920
could see its eyes just open up. I mean, he

691
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:41.199
had this These eyes were not white like ours. He

692
00:39:41.239 --> 00:39:45.199
had facial features just like us, I mean, other than

693
00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:51.519
he was black, but they were like an amber eyes

694
00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:57.480
like a orangeish looking tent to them. And I mean,

695
00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:01.519
I'm about six feet away from him, that's how far.

696
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:04.519
Literally I was at the top of that right at

697
00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:08.079
the edge of that cave entrance, and it let out

698
00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:15.679
a shrilling yell like I don't know, I mean it.

699
00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:19.440
I mean, just thinking about it shakes me to my core.

700
00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:24.280
But it bounced and twisted around two or three times,

701
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:27.840
grabbed that little one, threw him up on this big

702
00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:30.280
old oak tree that was going up or it might

703
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:36.079
have been a and that little one, I mean like it,

704
00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:38.599
that little one knew what was going on. It hit

705
00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:40.679
that tree and went right down the side of that

706
00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:43.920
sheer rock cliff where that tree was growing, just slid

707
00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:47.559
down it like it was nothing. And that thing jumped

708
00:40:47.639 --> 00:40:50.480
up and grabbed that tree and spun around, yelled at

709
00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:53.840
me again, and it slid down that tree and I

710
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:58.920
just froze. I just held on for dear life. I

711
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:03.360
closed my eyes. I just knew I was dead. I

712
00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:05.760
didn't know what to think, what to do. Like when

713
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:10.199
I tell you, everything in me was saying, climb this rope,

714
00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:11.679
try to figure out a way to get rind. I

715
00:41:11.719 --> 00:41:23.039
couldn't do anything. When I say it was I mean,

716
00:41:23.119 --> 00:41:25.480
looking back on it. I mean I was raised up

717
00:41:25.480 --> 00:41:31.440
in the hills, Tennessee. I've been horseback riding. I've went

718
00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:33.559
into the back way, the entrance, the back way, all

719
00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:36.280
the way from Teleco, all the way into Cave's Cove

720
00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:42.920
horseback riding. I mean, I was raised up in the

721
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:54.000
Appalachia Mountains. I've seen everything. So anyway, I could hear

722
00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:56.000
him hit the ground and he went to beating on

723
00:41:56.159 --> 00:41:58.679
something down there. It sounded like he had a limb

724
00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:03.599
or something hitting the ground, and I could see stuff

725
00:42:03.639 --> 00:42:11.760
moving around, like leaves and pieces of like branch and stuff,

726
00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:18.800
and he was hollering and hollering, and there was only

727
00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:22.800
one other area that I could see him. When you

728
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:29.199
walk down this ridge during the summertime in early spring,

729
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:31.559
before the leaves get back on it, you can't even

730
00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:35.079
see this rock bluff I'm talking about from the road

731
00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:38.960
in the wintertime when all the leaves are gone, and

732
00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:41.679
you know, in the spring, right before the leaves start growing,

733
00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:45.320
you can see this whole rock bluff and you can

734
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:47.840
we could always see that little cave entrance, but you

735
00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:50.320
couldn't see back into it just looked too dark. It

736
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:55.639
looked like it was a cave. I sit there, holding

737
00:42:55.679 --> 00:43:01.000
onto that rope. It seemed like forever, but it wasn't

738
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:03.280
more than twenty twenty five minutes before I knew I

739
00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:06.599
had to make a decision. I had to either follow

740
00:43:06.679 --> 00:43:12.440
them on down as I couldn't go back up, or

741
00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:18.079
stay there. That was only two options I had. And

742
00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:22.000
I seen just bits and pieces of them seconds after

743
00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:26.079
they hit the ground, that little one walking right behind it,

744
00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:29.280
and I just caught a glimpse of them, and they're

745
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:32.440
on both They're both of them standing straight up and down,

746
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:40.840
just like a regular human being, and they're walking. They

747
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:46.239
were walking just like me and you. But I'm telling you,

748
00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:51.440
this one creature, he was ever bit of nine feet.

749
00:43:55.960 --> 00:43:58.679
It was the biggest thing I've ever seen in my life,

750
00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:05.000
and broad I don't think anybody understands unless they've seen

751
00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:10.639
one up close, just how magnificent these guys are. These

752
00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:14.880
things are huge. I don't think this thing wanted to

753
00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:19.760
hurt me, I really don't. But when he yelled out

754
00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:22.840
at me, it went completely through me.

755
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:25.639
I mean.

756
00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:32.199
He hit the side of that tree when he jumped

757
00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:34.559
on that tree and went down that tree, down between

758
00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:38.079
that rock, and when I tell you these trees grow

759
00:44:38.199 --> 00:44:40.719
right up beside. Some of them's up against the rock.

760
00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:43.719
This one was about three or four feet away from it.

761
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:48.440
But that whole tree, this thing had to be the

762
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:51.239
base of it had to be two and a half

763
00:44:51.280 --> 00:44:57.679
three feet around, And goodness, he went down that thing

764
00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:01.360
just like a fireman wood on a you know, one

765
00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:03.840
of those fireman poles back in the old days. You

766
00:45:03.880 --> 00:45:05.679
know how they had slide down them.

767
00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:07.000
Oh yeah, absolutely.

768
00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:13.000
But I could tell. I could tell by the way

769
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:16.360
it looked up at me. I had scared that he

770
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:22.159
was not expecting me to be there, m like. But

771
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:25.079
at the same time, I really believe if I would

772
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:30.599
have been a little closer he had a reaction, he

773
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:31.559
probably would have hurt me.

774
00:45:33.400 --> 00:45:33.599
You know.

775
00:45:35.320 --> 00:45:39.719
Anyway, you know, when the sun's going down, something like

776
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:42.320
that's happened to you, and you're trying to make sense

777
00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:44.440
of what just happened. You don't know what's going to

778
00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:46.079
happen when you go down.

779
00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:50.239
Big for society. Who will be right back after these messages,

780
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:07.480
if he's.

781
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:09.719
There waiting on you or not, if there's anything else

782
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:13.039
in that hole that's gonna pop outside of that rock bluff.

783
00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:16.239
I was just scared to death.

784
00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:23.400
Thank goodness. Wow, this is this is incredible. Is this

785
00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:24.440
eastern Tennessee?

786
00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:29.800
It is? Okay, Wow, you know where Telecoat Plains is.

787
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:33.519
Uh, I'm gonna look it up real quick because it

788
00:46:33.599 --> 00:46:36.039
sounds familiar, but I just want to make sure I'm

789
00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:40.559
looking at the Okay, telecoa planes that's like right on

790
00:46:40.639 --> 00:46:41.639
the edge of the park.

791
00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:47.719
Mm hmm yep. Before the park was anything. I mean

792
00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:49.920
it was it's always been a park ever since. I've

793
00:46:50.440 --> 00:46:53.320
you know, you got ball River Falls. You got state

794
00:46:53.400 --> 00:46:55.400
line up there where people used to go full welling

795
00:46:55.519 --> 00:47:03.840
up between the North Carolina and the Tennessee line. So

796
00:47:03.880 --> 00:47:07.000
I ended up sliding on down that line and I

797
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:09.519
hit the ground running down the side of this embankment.

798
00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:12.159
It was almost straight down this embankment is. You got

799
00:47:12.199 --> 00:47:14.440
to kind of climb it on all fours to get

800
00:47:14.519 --> 00:47:16.400
up to the bottom of the rocks down to where

801
00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:20.880
the old gravel road was. And my truck was down there.

802
00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:25.440
It was just in sight. I left the line there everything,

803
00:47:26.519 --> 00:47:30.119
And again, like I said, we were raised in poverty.

804
00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:33.920
I think that line costed. We all split it, and

805
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:36.440
I didn't have as much as my cousins. They were

806
00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:40.519
old enough to be my uncle, but I think it

807
00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:42.639
was like one hundred eighty bucks. I left that line

808
00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:46.039
and ended up going back a couple weeks later, but

809
00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:48.760
I wouldn't go up there, and I wasn't allowed to

810
00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:51.280
tell them what I'd seen or what had me scared

811
00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:53.440
because of the talk I had with my father.

812
00:47:55.480 --> 00:47:56.760
Sorry, what year was this again?

813
00:47:57.679 --> 00:47:58.159
This was in?

814
00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:03.119
Uh? This was in nineteen and eighty seven.

815
00:48:03.719 --> 00:48:04.920
Okay, thank you, thank you.

816
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:10.559
So there's no one listening right now, correct, Oh.

817
00:48:10.440 --> 00:48:13.920
No, there is, Yeah, there's so. This is so when

818
00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:17.079
you're on TikTok, there's something called a TikTok live and

819
00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:19.360
right now you can see up in the corner there's

820
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:20.960
about forty one people in here.

821
00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:25.280
Okay, well, then we'll figure out a way to talk privately.

822
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:27.320
Then if you want to hear the rest of it,

823
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:29.280
I mean, I'll tell you the rest of what happened.

824
00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:31.239
I ended up getting in the truck and I left.

825
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:34.199
Okay, But.

826
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:39.320
My father and I found out later. My father and

827
00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:43.639
my uncle and No Boy which was one of my

828
00:48:43.719 --> 00:48:49.239
daddy's good friends, and a few other men that were

829
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:52.800
pretty much they were raised there. You know, of course

830
00:48:53.039 --> 00:48:56.960
I was too, but you know, I was raised on

831
00:48:57.039 --> 00:49:03.840
three on vacre farm, but uh, they protected him up there.

832
00:49:05.239 --> 00:49:09.960
One in particular. Yeah, whoa, my dad had done a

833
00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:16.360
surgery and it's kind of a cool story. But uh,

834
00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:19.239
you know again, like I said, I can't get into

835
00:49:19.320 --> 00:49:23.119
all of the details. But my dad, I told you

836
00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:25.719
that we lived on a farm. So my dad had

837
00:49:26.159 --> 00:49:30.320
everything from antibiotics to you know, anything to put a

838
00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:33.039
cow down to you know, to be able to do

839
00:49:33.079 --> 00:49:35.119
any kind of work to it. He knew all the

840
00:49:35.199 --> 00:49:42.360
veterinarians and everything around there. But yeah, that he ended up.

841
00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:46.920
He found one when I was I was I wasn't

842
00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:52.079
even born yet. I turned one when actually they started

843
00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:56.159
having like a friendship thing, not like you know, hey,

844
00:49:56.199 --> 00:50:00.000
how are you doing, but picking daddy's apples, the south

845
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:03.960
apple trees we had in the backyard, leaving part of

846
00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:09.760
them from my dad stacked up actually, But anyway, long

847
00:50:09.800 --> 00:50:14.599
story short, my dad took something out of the leg

848
00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:19.400
of one of those. But he tried to he was

849
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:22.480
trying to put him down when using apples. He found

850
00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:26.239
him when he was plowing one of his fields. And

851
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:32.679
he didn't know what that was, he said, And that's

852
00:50:32.760 --> 00:50:39.199
just what my daddy told me. Anyway, it was down

853
00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:44.679
laying there and wasn't hardly moving, and when Daddy come

854
00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:48.039
up on it, it was literally trying to trying to

855
00:50:48.039 --> 00:50:50.719
get up and move but couldn't. Dad said his whole

856
00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:54.440
leg was swollen almost of the waist sides of the

857
00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:57.280
waist of my dad at the time. He said, my

858
00:50:57.360 --> 00:51:01.039
dad was a pretty good sized guy. One of his

859
00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:04.880
legs had something wrong with it and it was festered up.

860
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:08.599
My dad taught me how to cut hogs everything you

861
00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:14.159
name it. Anyway, long story short there they've become friends,

862
00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:18.360
but my dad ended up putting him down long enough

863
00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:24.840
to cut him. He actually gave him trying to think

864
00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:27.119
of the name of that stuff. It's been years since

865
00:51:27.159 --> 00:51:31.840
I've been around it. Anyways, to put bulls down, and

866
00:51:31.880 --> 00:51:36.719
he thought he might have killed it, but he did

867
00:51:36.719 --> 00:51:39.400
it because he wouldn't take the apples. He was trying

868
00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:41.679
to throw him across the little creek to where the

869
00:51:42.599 --> 00:51:45.920
where it would climb up under the bushes and little

870
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:50.119
maple tree there, but he ended up taking the pressure

871
00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:53.800
off that leg by opening him up and pass him up.

872
00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:57.440
Just feel dressed him or what have you. And that

873
00:51:57.519 --> 00:52:02.320
thing become like the family for like six years, meaning

874
00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:05.440
you know, not like living with him or anything like that.

875
00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:11.239
But let's just say he had a new he had

876
00:52:11.239 --> 00:52:13.880
a new little security system.

877
00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:17.199

But I'm building a rig right now to go overlanding.

But it's it's made to get off of the old

My dad's passed away now, but I think there's two

912
00:53:57.559 --> 00:54:04.320
guys still alive that had also taken that vow, you know,

913
00:54:04.400 --> 00:54:05.519
to protect these guys.

914
00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:10.880
Oh wow, really, Oh yeah, we definitely, Well, we'll talk

915
00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:13.639
later for sure. That's that's intense.

916
00:54:14.760 --> 00:54:15.000
Yeah.

917
00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:19.360
I've got a lot of stuff too that might help you, guys.

918
00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:23.079
I've been watching some of these little videos here on

919
00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:28.840
YouTube that you can really if you've ever had an encounter,

920
00:54:29.360 --> 00:54:34.440
we're actually seeing one. You can really see, you know,

921
00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:37.760
it cuts through the bull you know what some people

922
00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:44.000
put out there. And you know one thing I will

923
00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:47.039
tell you. I hear these guys talking about an odor.

924
00:54:48.320 --> 00:54:53.719
I never, I never. I never really smelled anything bad.

925
00:54:54.920 --> 00:54:58.400
Oh wow, like I never had. Of course, I'm above it,

926
00:54:58.719 --> 00:55:02.400
and I don't. I don't remember the wind blowing real

927
00:55:02.480 --> 00:55:05.199
hard or anything like that. It was just a nice,

928
00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:12.159
calm day. But uh, I can tell you everything about

929
00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:15.159
its legs, what it looked like, because I remember just

930
00:55:17.119 --> 00:55:23.199
these things when they move. You know, if we had

931
00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:28.079
if we had those integrated into our and I don't

932
00:55:28.159 --> 00:55:31.320
mean like mating with our with us or whatever, but

933
00:55:31.400 --> 00:55:34.559
that's something I don't think then you couldn't put something

934
00:55:34.599 --> 00:55:38.039
like that in a zoo. That's not something that's I

935
00:55:38.039 --> 00:55:41.800
would never help someone do something like. They're not right there.

936
00:55:42.400 --> 00:55:45.440
I think they're too family or they're too far along

937
00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:51.079
in the evolutionary train. Uh you know, you know they're

938
00:55:51.159 --> 00:55:55.039
not something that they're smarter than us.

939
00:55:56.880 --> 00:55:57.679
I think so too.

940
00:55:58.880 --> 00:56:02.000
You hear these hunters, if it was real, i'd have

941
00:56:02.079 --> 00:56:04.440
it because I'm a I'm a so and so hunter. Well,

942
00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:08.280
I've hunted all my life, my family and his family.

943
00:56:08.360 --> 00:56:10.800
You know what I'm saying. I probably one of the

944
00:56:10.800 --> 00:56:14.800
best hunters out there, but I can tell and I

945
00:56:15.039 --> 00:56:21.679
never had even seen one. You know, these guys can.

946
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:27.679
They are a master of their environment, you know. And

947
00:56:27.719 --> 00:56:31.559
I think that day, I think the reason I got

948
00:56:31.599 --> 00:56:36.400
as close as I did is because you know, I

949
00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:39.840
was a quarter mile south of them, and I walked

950
00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:43.519
up and over top of the ridge, you know, way

951
00:56:43.639 --> 00:56:46.119
up high, and then you walk back down the ridge

952
00:56:46.159 --> 00:56:50.639
to the bluff to where you do your you know

953
00:56:51.000 --> 00:56:54.519
to where you can repel. And I think me coming

954
00:56:54.559 --> 00:56:58.440
off of there, they I don't even think you heard me. Then,

955
00:56:58.519 --> 00:57:01.840
I think when I yelled out, thinking it was my

956
00:57:01.960 --> 00:57:07.119
cousin Timmy or either him and him or both the Jesse,

957
00:57:08.679 --> 00:57:11.719
I I think that's what learned it. I think it

958
00:57:11.800 --> 00:57:16.320
was probably napping. I really think they're nocturnal.

959
00:57:18.760 --> 00:57:23.599
There's definitely more activity at night from what I've heard

960
00:57:24.039 --> 00:57:28.519
or sure in most areas. But it's been it's been

961
00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:31.000
been a pleasure of chatting with you, sir. I hope

962
00:57:31.360 --> 00:57:33.639
that you are able to reach out a later time

963
00:57:33.719 --> 00:57:35.760
so we can, you know, continue our conversation.

964
00:57:37.159 --> 00:57:39.360
Most definitely, I'll have, like I said, as soon as

965
00:57:39.360 --> 00:57:43.719
my wife gets back. She went grocery shopping, so when

966
00:57:43.760 --> 00:57:48.119
she gets back, i'll uh, I'll have her talk to you.

967
00:57:48.440 --> 00:57:50.639
I mean, I'll have her send you an email with

968
00:57:50.719 --> 00:57:55.480
all my my info information and and we'll talk more

969
00:57:55.480 --> 00:57:58.159
about what the what my dad talked about with me.

970
00:57:59.280 --> 00:58:01.280
Yes, sir, Yes, sir, I'll look forward to it.

971
00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:02.039
Thank you so much.

972
00:58:02.840 --> 00:58:04.840
All right, you too, now have a good day. God

973
00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:06.559
bless you you too, sir.

974
00:58:11.280 --> 00:58:14.480
Oh my goodness, that's why you do TikTok Lives to

975
00:58:14.559 --> 00:58:19.480
get to talk to individuals like that. That was amazing.

976
00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:23.360
I'm going to keep on going here. We've got a

977
00:58:23.400 --> 00:58:26.880

Okay, yes, sir, you sound great. Do you mind if

Nope? Go right ahead?

983
00:58:38.280 --> 00:58:41.719
All right, Well yeah, feel free to uh to share

984
00:58:41.800 --> 00:58:43.119
what you've experienced here.

985
00:58:44.400 --> 00:58:48.000
Okay, we've talked a little bit, you know, back and forth,

986
00:58:48.119 --> 00:58:49.119
just you know, typing.

987
00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:54.119
But okay, I'm from Massachusetts.

988
00:58:54.880 --> 00:58:57.639
I was a railroad engineer and I was on a

989
00:58:57.679 --> 00:58:59.760
train one night and I had an accounted with one.

990
00:58:59.639 --> 00:59:01.360
Of the tracks right in front of me.

991
00:59:03.000 --> 00:59:06.159
My goodness, what part of mass.

992
00:59:06.920 --> 00:59:08.719
Are you familiar with Massachusetts at all?

993
00:59:09.199 --> 00:59:09.400
Yeah?

994
00:59:09.440 --> 00:59:11.639
I grew up in western mass and Northfield.

995
00:59:11.679 --> 00:59:14.559
Well that's where this happened. It was between Dalton and Middlefield.

996
00:59:15.159 --> 00:59:18.360
No way, Oh, my goodness.

997
00:59:18.519 --> 00:59:18.920
What is it?

998
00:59:19.079 --> 00:59:22.280
That's like the southwest corner of Mount Greylock. Correct.

999
00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:25.840
Uh, I'm going to refresh my memory. Yeah, so this

1000
00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:27.199
is down the Berkshires.

1001
00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:31.000
Well absolutely, yeah, that's exactly where it was, right along

1002
00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:32.880
the trail we were.

1003
00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:36.880
I was from it so you said Dalton and where

1004
00:59:36.880 --> 00:59:37.400
else again?

1005
00:59:38.079 --> 00:59:38.760
Middlefield?

1006
00:59:39.440 --> 00:59:40.000
Middlefield?

1007
00:59:40.039 --> 00:59:43.639
Okay, gotcha, that's going towards at the top of the mountain.

1008
00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:48.039
Yeah, yeah, yeah. My grandparents were in a great Barrington, so.

1009
00:59:48.039 --> 00:59:51.280
I'm very yeah. Yeah, where you were at?

1010
00:59:51.880 --> 00:59:55.239
Yeah, I just talked to a guy from don Egremont

1011
00:59:55.960 --> 00:59:59.239
about his his situation. But wow, so you were you

1012
00:59:59.280 --> 01:00:02.119
were engineered on a train and you saw one right

1013
01:00:02.159 --> 01:00:02.679
in front of you.

1014
01:00:03.840 --> 01:00:05.679
Yeah. This happened a long time ago. It was probably

1015
01:00:05.679 --> 01:00:08.360
around two thousand and five or so. Okay.

1016
01:00:08.719 --> 01:00:11.599
I had an extremely heavy train and I was only

1017
01:00:11.639 --> 01:00:14.239
doing probably four or five miles an hour pulling the mountain,

1018
01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:17.840
and it was it was doc. I mean it was

1019
01:00:18.159 --> 01:00:20.400
one two o'clock in the morning, so I only seen

1020
01:00:20.440 --> 01:00:23.639
it briefly, you know, through the whatever the headlight cover is,

1021
01:00:23.719 --> 01:00:27.480
you know what I mean. And it walked in front

1022
01:00:27.519 --> 01:00:30.559
of me, across the tracks and never touched the tracks.

1023
01:00:30.639 --> 01:00:32.119
It went from one side of the track to the

1024
01:00:32.159 --> 01:00:33.199
other one wout even touching.

1025
01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:37.239
And the track is almost four feet wide, so I mean,

1026
01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:38.480
his stride is pretty big.

1027
01:00:39.960 --> 01:00:40.679
My goodness.

1028
01:00:41.559 --> 01:00:43.880
He wasn't running or anything, but he was. He was

1029
01:00:43.960 --> 01:00:49.679
briskly walking and he did he looked, he looked at

1030
01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:50.760
the train. I mean he.

1031
01:00:50.760 --> 01:00:54.039
Couldn't see anything but a stupid headlight anyway, But right,

1032
01:00:55.360 --> 01:00:57.079
I mean he looked at and looked back and just

1033
01:00:57.159 --> 01:00:59.519
kept going. And then he was out of site. And

1034
01:00:59.559 --> 01:01:01.920
I had I had a flashlight with me and I

1035
01:01:01.960 --> 01:01:05.480
tried to illuminate the field if we were going by.

1036
01:01:05.639 --> 01:01:08.960
But whatever it was, he was just gone. I never

1037
01:01:09.000 --> 01:01:09.719
saw him again.

1038
01:01:11.960 --> 01:01:16.039
What was the main thing you noticed that made you think, Okay,

1039
01:01:16.039 --> 01:01:18.559
I'm not this isn't a bear, this is something else?

1040
01:01:18.920 --> 01:01:20.079
Well he was.

1041
01:01:20.119 --> 01:01:22.559
I mean it was walking on two feet for sure.

1042
01:01:23.360 --> 01:01:25.559
I mean this thing was probably eight feet tall, and

1043
01:01:25.599 --> 01:01:27.920
it was just it was a doc brown and color.

1044
01:01:29.559 --> 01:01:31.280
I mean, I know it wasn't a beer. I know,

1045
01:01:31.719 --> 01:01:33.960
I've been beyond hundreds of times. I mean, I just

1046
01:01:34.519 --> 01:01:36.840
I just you just know the difference when you see it.

1047
01:01:36.880 --> 01:01:40.239
You know. Wow.

1048
01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:43.000
What was the first thing you did after it walked

1049
01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:43.960
off into the woods.

1050
01:01:44.920 --> 01:01:50.199
I went to the bathroom.

1051
01:01:51.239 --> 01:01:53.800
Yeah, I would probably do the same. That's amazing.

1052
01:01:54.599 --> 01:01:58.760
I just wasn't expecting it. I mean, I'm thinking, I'm tired.

1053
01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:01.719
What am I seeing here? I mean, it didn't register

1054
01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:02.760
it first, you know.

1055
01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:08.719
Oh my goodness, had any of your other buddies had

1056
01:02:08.840 --> 01:02:10.840
similar things happen on in that area.

1057
01:02:11.000 --> 01:02:13.079
I don't know. I've never talked about it really.

1058
01:02:12.880 --> 01:02:15.079
So really this is your first time talking about it.

1059
01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:15.480
Yeah.

1060
01:02:15.480 --> 01:02:17.159
I was afraid they'd fire me. He thought I was

1061
01:02:17.199 --> 01:02:18.119
crazy or something.

1062
01:02:18.480 --> 01:02:21.199
Oh my goodness. Wow, you've never So this is like

1063
01:02:21.480 --> 01:02:25.159
twenty twenty some odd years ago and you've never talked

1064
01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:25.599
about it.

1065
01:02:25.880 --> 01:02:28.119
Nope, not to anyone. Wow.

1066
01:02:28.559 --> 01:02:31.599
I appreciate you sharing on this platform.

1067
01:02:31.800 --> 01:02:34.000
I mean, I'm not saying the conductor in the train

1068
01:02:34.079 --> 01:02:36.800
I was with didn't even see it. He was doing

1069
01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:39.159
paperwork or something at a desk, and I just never

1070
01:02:39.199 --> 01:02:39.880
said anything.

1071
01:02:39.960 --> 01:02:40.400
I just.

1072
01:02:42.159 --> 01:02:43.039
He never saw it.

1073
01:02:44.480 --> 01:02:47.679
How did that? How did that affect you? Going like

1074
01:02:47.719 --> 01:02:50.079
twenty years without ever sharing about it.

1075
01:02:50.599 --> 01:02:52.000
Well, I got to tell you. For the first couple

1076
01:02:52.039 --> 01:02:54.039
of days, I didn't sleep too good. It was freaking

1077
01:02:54.079 --> 01:02:59.599
me out a little. And then after I was praying,

1078
01:02:59.679 --> 01:03:02.239
like I never had to walk the tracks in the

1079
01:03:02.239 --> 01:03:03.639
middle of the night. If I had a problem with

1080
01:03:03.679 --> 01:03:06.480
the train in that area, I probably would have just

1081
01:03:06.519 --> 01:03:09.480
stayed in the train and called somebody inside I can't

1082
01:03:09.480 --> 01:03:10.320
get out or something.

1083
01:03:13.159 --> 01:03:16.119
Did you get a feel for it? Was it more

1084
01:03:16.159 --> 01:03:18.559
of a skinnier creature or more muscular.

1085
01:03:19.239 --> 01:03:21.559
No, he looked pretty muscular. I mean it was. It

1086
01:03:21.599 --> 01:03:24.719
wasn't small by any means.

1087
01:03:25.280 --> 01:03:28.440
I mean he was pretty bulky, so but I mean

1088
01:03:28.480 --> 01:03:33.119
I don't know how much of that was actually, you know, flesh,

1089
01:03:33.159 --> 01:03:36.599
bulk or hair. So I mean, like I said, I

1090
01:03:36.599 --> 01:03:40.079
only saw it for a matter of maybe ten to

1091
01:03:40.119 --> 01:03:41.280
fifteen seconds or so.

1092
01:03:41.320 --> 01:03:53.840
It wasn't like fifteen seconds. Wow, that's a long time, manh.

1093
01:03:52.039 --> 01:03:53.840
I wasn't, like I said, I wasn't even sure what

1094
01:03:53.880 --> 01:03:55.039
I was looking at it first.

1095
01:03:55.639 --> 01:03:59.960
Yeah, kind of startled me. Nothing, nothing is walking around

1096
01:04:00.119 --> 01:04:01.599
out there in the middle of the night that I've

1097
01:04:01.639 --> 01:04:02.159
ever seen.

1098
01:04:02.760 --> 01:04:03.360
And I rode.

1099
01:04:03.440 --> 01:04:06.199
I rode trains over that mountain for over twenty five years,

1100
01:04:06.280 --> 01:04:10.800
so that was the first and only a counter I've

1101
01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:11.280
ever saw.

1102
01:04:14.119 --> 01:04:16.599
Were you able to see any of its face at all?

1103
01:04:16.679 --> 01:04:18.159
Or was it just pretty much the side?

1104
01:04:18.679 --> 01:04:20.639
No, I mean when he looked at me, but the

1105
01:04:20.679 --> 01:04:21.880
face was I know, I didn't know.

1106
01:04:21.920 --> 01:04:24.440
I didn't get any records. He was probably one hundred

1107
01:04:24.440 --> 01:04:25.039
feet from.

1108
01:04:24.880 --> 01:04:29.320
Me also, Okay, kind of had to see I mean

1109
01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:32.360
his faith size comparison to where I was. You know,

1110
01:04:34.159 --> 01:04:37.599
I don't remember seeing it didn't dawn on me that

1111
01:04:37.639 --> 01:04:40.800
it was face was white or black or it just

1112
01:04:40.960 --> 01:04:43.119
was you know, probably the same color as the fur.

1113
01:04:46.199 --> 01:04:51.039
Was this, uh trying to look at the map here

1114
01:04:52.199 --> 01:04:56.639
does the does the train go through like that any

1115
01:04:56.679 --> 01:04:59.840
of the wildlife management areas or the state forest or

1116
01:05:00.239 --> 01:05:01.599
around it or I.

1117
01:05:01.599 --> 01:05:04.360
Would imagine it probably all of it is. I mean.

1118
01:05:05.800 --> 01:05:08.119
Of that hill is a rock cut and there's only

1119
01:05:08.119 --> 01:05:11.599
a couple of places where it opens up, you know,

1120
01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:17.159
where anything can pass through, gotcha. But like I said,

1121
01:05:18.199 --> 01:05:20.800
a rock it's just a rock cut in the track.

1122
01:05:21.000 --> 01:05:25.719
The tracks were laid in between you know, two.

1123
01:05:26.360 --> 01:05:27.880
I don't know, it's like it was all cut out

1124
01:05:27.880 --> 01:05:28.760
and granted you know.

1125
01:05:30.639 --> 01:05:35.400
Yeah, absolutely, I'm just going to cull you, Tom, Tom,

1126
01:05:35.519 --> 01:05:38.280
thank you so much for you know, finally getting to

1127
01:05:38.320 --> 01:05:42.000
the point where you can share what you experienced on

1128
01:05:42.039 --> 01:05:45.280
the train that day. That's that's pretty awesome, dude.

1129
01:05:45.320 --> 01:05:48.000
Well thanks for having me. I appreciate it. I mean,

1130
01:05:48.039 --> 01:05:50.360
I've never told anybody so home the.

1131
01:05:50.360 --> 01:05:53.599
First absolutely absolutely, if you ever need to reach out again,

1132
01:05:54.039 --> 01:05:56.079
it sounds like you know how to contact me, so

1133
01:05:56.599 --> 01:05:58.920
you feel free to do that, sir. But thank you

1134
01:05:58.960 --> 01:05:59.880
so much for coming up.

1135
01:06:00.559 --> 01:06:03.440
All right, thank you. I have a good day you too.

1136
01:06:05.719 --> 01:06:07.320
Just wanted to take a minute to say thank you

1137
01:06:07.360 --> 01:06:09.599
truly for listening to this episode of the Big Fort

1138
01:06:09.639 --> 01:06:12.719
Society podcast Project. Broken Man's encounter is one of the

1139
01:06:12.760 --> 01:06:15.800
most intense we've ever shared, not just because of what

1140
01:06:15.920 --> 01:06:19.039
he saw clinging to his repel rope, but because of

1141
01:06:19.079 --> 01:06:22.480
how close it came to being something far more dangerous.

1142
01:06:22.880 --> 01:06:25.239
So huge thanks to him and to everyone else who

1143
01:06:25.280 --> 01:06:29.760
came forward with their stories from Lake Wales, Oklahoma City, Washington,

1144
01:06:30.000 --> 01:06:33.599
and the Berkshires. These stories remind us that no matter

1145
01:06:33.679 --> 01:06:36.079
where you are in the country, something might be watching.

asking what else might be out there? And see you

1158
01:07:13.360 --> 01:07:13.840
in the woods.
