Season 1

In this gripping episode, East Tennessee witness Robbie Ferrell shares a lifetime of terrifying Bigfoot encounters stretching from the Smoky Mountain region to the secluded ridges, lake coves, and dense valleys surrounding his home. What begins as a normal day in the woods turns into a life-altering moment when Robbie hears impossible bipedal footsteps and a chilling mind-speak command telling him to leave.


Over the years, Robbie experiences multiple close visual sightings, massive footprints near his bedroom window, mysterious gifting behavior, and even a night when a towering figure stands just feet from his workshop. His most shocking encounter occurs while exploring a remote Tennessee valley with researcher Harley Owens, where the two men are surrounded, growled at, and charged by multiple forest beings in an aggressive display that changed Robbie’s view of the world forever.


If you’re fascinated by Sasquatch sightings, mind-speak experiences, Appalachian cryptids, Smoky Mountain mysteries, or real eyewitness accounts, this episode delivers one of the most compelling and emotionally raw Bigfoot testimonies recorded. Robbie opens up about fear, trauma, spiritual questions, and the deep desire for answers that keeps him searching despite the danger.

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.120
You're listening to Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.879
this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring

3
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.720
you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen

4
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.880
something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to

5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.719
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
So 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 --> 00:00:33.200
So stay with us, all right, Bigfoot Society, Welcome back

11
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:37.600
to another show. We've got witness Robbie Ferrell with us today.

12
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.560
And Robbie and I know each other because we were

13
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:45.000
both introduced by a mutual friend, Mister Harley Owens from

14
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:50.159
down there in the Smoky Mountain area of Tennessee. And Robbie,

15
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:52.840
you're from the same area round about, is that right?

16
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.840
Yeah, I'm about thirty minutes from where Harley lives.

17
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.840
Fantastic. You've had a lot of really interesting experiences over

18
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:05.480
the years, and most recently you had something pretty intense

19
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:07.359
happened when you were out in the field with Harley.

20
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.000
We'll get to that probably later on in the show.

21
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.959
Feel free to take us back to when this first

22
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.159
started happening for you, Robbie, and we'll be right there

23
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:16.439
with you.

24
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:17.959
Okay.

25
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:23.760
I'm an East Tennessee guy. I've always lived in East Tennessee.

26
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:28.400
I'm in my fifties now. I started hunting when I

27
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:31.239
was a thirteen year old. I'd go out with a

28
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:36.799
recurb bow, little pocket knife. Self taught hunter, not very good,

29
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.760
but you know, I did enjoy being out in the

30
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:41.840
woods all the time. That's kind of always been my

31
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:47.480
peaceful place, and I never had anything weird happen for

32
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.280
a long time. Spent thirty something years out there, and

33
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:53.920
as long as I had a bow or a gun

34
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:55.920
with me, I kind of felt like I was a

35
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.640
king out there. You know, I'm the meanest thing in

36
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:03.799
these woods. And then I found out I wasn't. In

37
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.799
twenty and seventeen, I was just going out squirrel hunting

38
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.159
in an area of the woods that I've hunted my

39
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:14.879
whole wife. I wasn't that far off the road, and

40
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.199
I was probably one hundred feet I could still see

41
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.800
my truck. This is a little back road. It has

42
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.120
some traffic on it, but it's you know, it's a

43
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:23.879
little ways off.

44
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:25.840
The main road.

45
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.400
I had been there maybe three four minutes tops. Like

46
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.439
I said, I hadn't walked that far. And I thought

47
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.759
I saw a squirrel. And I had a little twenty

48
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.960
two semi automatic ten shot a little small scope on it,

49
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.280
and I stopped because I thought I saw a squirrel.

50
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:45.280
And I propped up against a tree and it's a

51
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.479
pretty good sized tree, and I'm scoping and I'm thinking, now,

52
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:51.960
you know, if this is a squirrel, this is too

53
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.000
far a shot. But I'm still scoping it out, just

54
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:56.280
to you know, see what I can do.

55
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.919
And from behind me, I.

56
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.039
Hear the loudest footsteps I have ever heard my life.

57
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.199
I mean, I've been around bulls and cattle and things

58
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.719
of that nature, and I've heard, you know, a fifteen

59
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:13.879
sixteen hundred pound animal run. That's what it sounded a

60
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.560
lot coming from behind me, but it it was bipedal.

61
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.280
I spun around. You know, it's a twenty two, but

62
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.199
it's what you have. And I'm prepared to try to

63
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:32.199
defend myself in my mind knowing that this isn't enough.

64
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.199
You know, you just know it's not enough. And then

65
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:42.000
I spent around. There's nothing there, and my mind just

66
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:47.120
is just spinning, like I'm freaking out, Like how did

67
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:49.599
I just hear the loudest footsteps I've ever heard of

68
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.960
my life running at me. But there's nothing there. So

69
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:58.599
I'm standing there for a good five minutes and I'm

70
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.639
just looking all around on I'm absorbing everything around me.

71
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:04.560
At the moment, I'm really just trying to figure out

72
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:07.840
what's going on. My heart's pumping like crazy.

73
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:08.560
Uh.

74
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.800
Someone once said it's like your heart's pumping peanut butter. Yeah,

75
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.560
that was that was the feeling I had. And I'm

76
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.199
just really trying to find anything to make sense at

77
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:19.959
this point, and nothing's making sense.

78
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:22.240
And then in the back.

79
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:27.319
Of my head I hear a clear, deep voice, this

80
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:33.399
is you need to leave. And now I'm really freaking out.

81
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.240
I'm like, I mean, I get I get shaky just

82
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.360
thinking about it. I don't know if you can see

83
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.560
I got, Coach. It's hard for me to tell this story,

84
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.879
it really is. I don't want anybody to think I'm crazy,

85
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:49.800
but facts are facts.

86
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:50.879
This is what happened.

87
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:55.920
And I'm looking around and I'm just really trying to

88
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.040
put all this together, and it's just not making any sense.

89
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.759
And I'm thinking to myself, am I losing my mind?

90
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:06.759
Because this just doesn't make sense? And so I said

91
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.199
something had to have rolled down this hill, maybe a

92
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.480
big rock, a tree limb. Maybe I'm just putting this

93
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.680
in my own mind. You know, I got to I

94
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:20.399
got to figure this out. So I make a semi

95
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.920
circle out about seventy five eighty feet.

96
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:23.319
And I'm looking.

97
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.360
I'm searching for anything that's disturbed. Something's got to make

98
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.560
sense here. And as I'm looking around, in the back

99
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:35.680
of my head, I hear this clear voice again, leave now.

100
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:40.279
And I'm talking, every hair on my body is just wire.

101
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.759
I clearly heard this. This This wasn't in my imagination.

102
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.120
And I said, I've got to get out of here,

103
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.319
and I went straight to the truck and I left.

104
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:56.600
And I carried this around with me for a long

105
00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:01.439
time before I told anybody. Everybody was always like, oh,

106
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.160
you don't go hunting as much as you used to.

107
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:12.040
I made excuses. It's hard to admit when you're you know,

108
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.439
I'm a self professed redneck. I have no problem saying

109
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:22.240
that when you're supposedly an able bodied, healthy, redneck male

110
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.399
who's hunted his whole life, and all of a sudden,

111
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:26.480
you stopped showing interest in it.

112
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:28.040
There's a reason.

113
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:33.199
And I still went hunting a few more times after that,

114
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.920
but not much. And I was always a deer hunter,

115
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:42.160
and I didn't go very often after that. But the

116
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.920
very next time I did go, I went to a

117
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.720
different area, not too far away, and I get in

118
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:52.639
there early in the morning. It's starting to miss the rain.

119
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:56.279
I put rain jacket on and I just kind of

120
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.279
I'm sitting against this huge tree, just kind of taking

121
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.360
it all in, being quiet, trying to listen, and I

122
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.519
rested my head against the back of my gun barrel

123
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:05.639
thirty thirty.

124
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:07.120
And then.

125
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:14.160
Everything just goes completely quiet. I hear nothing, not one sound,

126
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.879
and it was like a slap it. It was so

127
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:24.560
shocking to go from crickets and leaves rustling and just

128
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:25.600
Dad zone.

129
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:26.360
Complete Dad zone.

130
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.399
And it caught my attention immediately, and I looked around,

131
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.120
and the longer I sat there, I was like, I

132
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:33.959
don't need to be here.

133
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:35.279
I don't need to be here right now.

134
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:39.160
I got to go and I gathered my stuff and

135
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:40.920
I got out of there, and I tried to stay

136
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:44.519
as straight to the path as I came in, right

137
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:52.680
back out. So you know, after that, I started talking

138
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:57.199
to a few people about it, not much. I found

139
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.839
an online community, and my online line community became my lifeline.

140
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:08.279
That's where I ended up meeting Harley Owens. And I've

141
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.879
met so many good people online. They've they've really been

142
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:18.240
a great help to me. But my first visual sighting

143
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:23.639
was in twenty twenty one the same road that I

144
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.839
had my mind speak experience. That road goes to my

145
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:32.200
parents' house. So I traveled this road a lot. I've

146
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:37.279
traveled my whole lot. I get up, It's Christmas morning,

147
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.039
twenty twenty one, and I'm going to go visit my parents,

148
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:44.639
and my wife goes, oh, down there in the ridge,

149
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.639
I saw one of the biggest bucks I've ever seen

150
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:51.200
my life, probably the biggest. But I'm like, wow, really,

151
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:53.360
how big are we talking? And she said it was

152
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.840
at least a twelve maybe even a fourteen point. She said,

153
00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:59.320
I'm talking like a massive rack on this deer.

154
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:00.279
Wow.

155
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:04.039
Like, you know, I'm not really hunting much anymore, but

156
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.399
if I could possibly, you know, get an easy sighting

157
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.639
of this deer, I might would consider going back. So

158
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:15.120
as I get to the ridge, this is the exact

159
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.799
same spot where I had the mind speak. I'm looking,

160
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:20.960
I slow down. I'm just doing like twenty mile an hour.

161
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.759
I look to my left and there is a big boot.

162
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.879
I call them force people these days because I don't

163
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:37.559
feel like they are an ape. Everybody has their own opinions.

164
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:43.320
But after hearing the stories and some Native Americans, and

165
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.440
I'm beginning to feel more like there are people. But

166
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:51.480
I see a force person. Huge but not like some

167
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.840
of the biggest ones that I've heard people talk about.

168
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.440
I always said it was built like Shaquille O'Neill, but

169
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:02.919
with reddish brown hair, about that long, maybe three to

170
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:08.240
four inches, and it's walking parallel to me. It's going

171
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:12.200
the same direction I'm going and travel, but it's sixty

172
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:16.799
to seventy feet off the road. Had it not moved,

173
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:18.879
there's a good chance I would have never saw it,

174
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.759
because there were some pretty good sized trees in that area,

175
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.320
and if it had just stayed behind one of those trees,

176
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.000
I would have never saw it. For there's a good

177
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:31.039
chance I wouldn't have. But this thing's walking. It's taken

178
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:36.600
five to six foot steps. With every step it's not running,

179
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:42.320
it's not evading. It's just like I wasn't there. It

180
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:47.120
completely ignored me, which is so counterintuitive to what we

181
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:53.039
know about it. But it was clearly walking. As it

182
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:57.080
would step, as it would take a backwards, the leg

183
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.759
would come up. I could see the hair lifting up

184
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:05.480
off the leg and sway. So you know, I've heard

185
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.399
people try to tell them it was a gilly suit.

186
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.279
There's no eight foot guys walking around in a gilly

187
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:16.080
suit right in this part of the country in gun season.

188
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:19.120
You know, it's getting towards the end of gun season.

189
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:21.519
If you hadn't got a buck by now, people get

190
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:25.600
that itchy finger. So for someone to try to hoax

191
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:29.200
in this area, that would first of all, they got

192
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.440
to be eight feet. And I'm telling you these people

193
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:37.879
around here, nobody's got a Hollywood quality bigfoot cost it.

194
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:43.559
Okay that that theory doesn't make sense either, but it

195
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.720
just it's walking. I see it for about five seconds,

196
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:50.480
and I have to watch the road too. I look

197
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.200
back at the road because there's a little hump in

198
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.120
the road and people tend to come across that hump

199
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:54.759
in the middle.

200
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:54.960
Of the road.

201
00:11:55.919 --> 00:12:00.360
So I look back. It's still there, and then it

202
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.919
goes into a dip and there's a whole bunch of

203
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:06.240
laurels and bramble there, and that's when I lost sight

204
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.919
it dropped into that area.

205
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:11.960
I'm I'm freaking out.

206
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:15.159
I'm literally just like you know, back when I heard

207
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:19.519
the mind speak, I'm shaking. I'm like, I knew they

208
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:21.879
were real. I've always felt.

209
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:22.279
Like they were real.

210
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:27.200
The Patty film seemed real to me. But I always

211
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:30.360
thought that was a you know, that's a up Northwest

212
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:36.240
Coast thing. They I didn't know they were here. People

213
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:39.320
around here don't talk about it much. They're talking about

214
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:43.039
it more now than ever. You know, I see big

215
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:47.120
put stickers on the back of people's windows, you know,

216
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.840
and it makes me smile every time now because I'm like, hey,

217
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:55.919
that's that's a believer, you know. But I get to

218
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.039
the end of the road down there, and I stop,

219
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.360
and I'm like, maybe I should I should go back,

220
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:02.720
you know, maybe it massold go back to try to

221
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:06.559
see some more. But I'd always told myself if I

222
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:09.320
ever actually laid eyes on one, that was exactly how

223
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.679
I wanted it to happen. I was in my truck,

224
00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:15.519
I felt safe, there was no aggression.

225
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:17.639
I got a good look at it.

226
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.639
I only saw it from the backside. I never saw

227
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:25.639
a face that might be for the best, I don't know,

228
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:29.919
because I've heard so many people say that, you know,

229
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:36.600
once they got an aggressive, mean face, they're traumatized by it, right,

230
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:41.639
So I kind of felt like I got what I'd

231
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.399
always wanted. My phone was laying there at the time.

232
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.120
I had one in a double fold case. Even if

233
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:51.799
I wanted to try to get picture, I would have

234
00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:53.960
had to flip it open, turned it on, clipped it

235
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.840
onto camera, try to turn it up, try to focus,

236
00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:01.399
try to drive it at the same time. It wouldn't happen.

237
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:04.480
It was over in five seconds. Anyways, by the time

238
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:07.000
i'd have picked my phone up and tried it, there

239
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:11.120
was no getting pictures evidence. But that never came to

240
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:15.639
my mind until it was basically over. So you know,

241
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:17.720
I've had a few people say, well, you saw one,

242
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:18.879
but you didn't get a picture.

243
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:22.279
No, No, I absolutely didn't.

244
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.039
And I understand why most people don't, and I understand

245
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:29.720
why most videos if they do get one, it's shaky

246
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:34.759
because we're not professional photographers and we're not professional videographers.

247
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.679
And when you see something like this. It's shocking, you know,

248
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:46.039
it's scary, it's shocking. It's these things are huge. You know,

249
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:53.159
people think that they've seen big things. But I've been

250
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:55.519
around a lot of wrestlers, so I go to wrestling.

251
00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:01.799
I've met some pretty big guys. You know, he's now

252
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:06.080
the county mayor of Knoxville. You know I've been around

253
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:13.440
can really Yeah, yeah, he's he's now the of Knox County, Tennessee.

254
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:18.639
Oh man, Yeah, and that, you know, that's this whole thing.

255
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:21.600
You know, people some people love it, some people hate it,

256
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:25.480
you know, but you know, we won't get into political stuff.

257
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:29.960
But yeah, you know, I've met him. He's six eight.

258
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:35.919
I've met Derek Mears, he's sixteen. I've been around some

259
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:42.799
big guys. Nothing they look like I would look next

260
00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:48.080
to these guys compared to it. I mean, you know,

261
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:51.759
you got that upscale. It'd be like putting Kat Williams

262
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:53.159
next to Skill on him.

263
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:54.000
Right, you know.

264
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:02.519
But that that one really changed my life, Like the

265
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:08.679
mind speak made me question things, the visual confirm things

266
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:13.320
for me. At that point, I knew big Port was

267
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:18.559
one hundred percent real or the forest people. But now

268
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:24.399
I can't drive past any woods that I don't look

269
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:29.799
at those woods hard. You know, I'm rule, but I'm

270
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:34.559
not in the middle of nowhere. I have neighbors, so

271
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:39.600
that's what makes the foot impressions that I've been finding

272
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:44.279
near my home even more odd. Around twenty twenty two,

273
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.080
I believe twenty early twenty two, late twenty two, it

274
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:53.600
was after my siding, and I found five to six

275
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:56.799
footprints that come right around the end of my home

276
00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:02.240
and stop three people from my bed and window. I

277
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:07.480
measured that track. It was seventeen inches long and six

278
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:13.319
to seven inches at the hill that I'd always had

279
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:16.319
motion lights up. But after that, that's when I decided

280
00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:19.359
I got to have cameras. I got to know what's

281
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:22.400
going on around my house, because I'd already found a

282
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:29.519
couple of questionable footprints, but this this track way, I'm

283
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:31.720
pretty much the only person goes around there. I've got

284
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:34.319
a little building around there. I work out of it.

285
00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:38.680
I make knives and things like that, and pretty much

286
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:40.200
I'm the only one who goes around this corner. So

287
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:43.279
there's all I had to put prints. I noticed them immediately,

288
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:46.960
and when I came around that corner that morning, the

289
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:51.519
leaves were disturbed. It was obvious foot prints. And when

290
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:54.279
I came around the corner and I see that last print,

291
00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:57.519
and it is so obvious, and I look at my

292
00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:03.279
bedroom window and I'm like, that's scared you a why

293
00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:08.440
was it standing near my bedroom window? And and it

294
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:14.519
shook me, It really shook me. And then too, this

295
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.880
is so weird that I've heard some people say that

296
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.640
once you've encountered one, you can get tagged or something

297
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:23.519
along that line.

298
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:28.440
I don't know. I'm not I'm not here.

299
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:31.559
To force that idea on anybody. I'm not here to

300
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:33.039
debate that idea with anybody.

301
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:35.559
It's just a theory.

302
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:42.839
But after my siding, I start finding footprints here. I

303
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:46.559
didn't find those before the siding. Now, the area of

304
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:50.519
the siding is only a mile from my house, but

305
00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:56.720
before the siding, they weren't coming here. So take that,

306
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:02.559
you know, for what it is. But you know, I've

307
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.480
kind of after that. I can't say I didn't try

308
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:13.119
to encourage some interaction because I started kind of looking

309
00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:18.000
for them. And then there's another area about a mile

310
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:23.319
from here. All this is around a lake. There's coves

311
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:27.240
and ridges and there's a lake, and there's different coves

312
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.039
that you can go into. And this whole area is

313
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:32.279
basically for three or four mile areas, kind of like

314
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:37.200
a bowl with different inlets. And I'm pretty sure they're

315
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:41.079
coming from the lake off in one of the back areas.

316
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:47.079
And I go to another area about a mile from here,

317
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:50.160
in a different direction, and I used to mow a

318
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:55.000
cemetery there. It's an older cemetery and it's at the

319
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:56.160
edge of a subdivision.

320
00:19:57.920 --> 00:19:58.720
I keep getting a.

321
00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:02.279
Feeling that I'm being walked watched while I'm at this cemetery.

322
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:06.119
Now I've knowed cemetery is my whole life. I'm not

323
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:11.160
afraid of cemeteries, but I just kept getting this speeling.

324
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:16.400
And so someone had suggested, said, we'll walk out to

325
00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:20.039
the edge of the woods and just address them, just

326
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:23.200
talk to them.

327
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:23.920
I'm not gonna lie.

328
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:27.400
I felt a little silly doing it, but I said, Okay,

329
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.599
if something's watching me, I'm I'm just gonna go address it.

330
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:34.720
And I walked away from the cemetery and I walked

331
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:36.839
into the older part of the cemetery that was near

332
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:40.319
the woods, and I was like, hey, you know, if

333
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:43.960
you're here, I'm not here to harm you. Now, I

334
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:47.400
do wear a protection on my side. But this is

335
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:53.319
not for you. This is for bad people, because there

336
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:59.160
are you know, not, there's insane people out there. And

337
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.720
I said, so, if you're worried about this, don't be

338
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:06.880
because this didn't per you. But I don't want to

339
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:11.319
have any bad feelings with any of you. So I'm

340
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:13.279
you know, I'm thinking, like you know, this is a

341
00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:17.640
waste of my time. I walked back, and thirty seconds later,

342
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:21.920
there's a definite limb snap, and like it snapped so

343
00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:23.799
loud that I jumped.

344
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:24.799
I literally jumped.

345
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:29.079
It caught me so off gark because I'm not expecting anything,

346
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.000
you know, and I kind of felt like that was

347
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:40.279
them acknowledging my statement. Now call a coincidence whatever, it's

348
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:43.839
a pretty close coincidence that it happened thirty seconds after

349
00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:46.079
I say this, you know, absolutely.

350
00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:47.000
And I'm already.

351
00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:51.720
Leaving apples, donuts things like that. When I would go

352
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:55.240
to mow, I would leave things in the woods, and

353
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:58.119
I tried to leave them up high and like I

354
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:02.000
would tie the apples up and balls of yarn and

355
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:04.079
dangle them from trees as high as I could reach

356
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:06.960
to try to keep any small critters from getting to them,

357
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.920
and the apples would be gone. Wow, the doughnuts would

358
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.319
be gone. But I tried a few other things, like

359
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:19.759
peanut butter sandwich that was never touched. I left one

360
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:23.359
in a bag, never touched, a couple of different things,

361
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:28.359
and then I had left some shiny rocks, a crystal.

362
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:32.759
I tried different things. A couple of things got gone,

363
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.680
some things got knocked off, and then somebody said leave tobacco.

364
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:39.839
And I had a peach cigar.

365
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:43.039
So I left this peach cigar and I always left

366
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:45.559
it in the crest of one tree, always the same spot.

367
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:49.759
I come back the next week, the cigar is crumpled,

368
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:53.440
and there's a set of tracks in the grass leading

369
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:56.680
from the tree line directly to the tree and directly away,

370
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:01.880
and the grass is mashed down that far. Could that

371
00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:04.079
still have been a person? Sure? I'm not going to

372
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:06.960
you know, I don't. I can't sit there and say absolutely,

373
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.160
that's what happened. It's just when you have circumstance after

374
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:15.599
circumstance after circumstance, you kind of have to start feeling.

375
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:21.519
It's a certain way. I've heard screams. I've heard though,

376
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.680
how how when you add this and you add that

377
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:27.519
and you add this, and you add that, then it

378
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:30.319
you have to at some point start to go. This

379
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:34.480
is starting to pit together like a pop. I don't

380
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:37.640
think everything is a forest person. I don't think every

381
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:40.960
sounds a forest person. I try to be logical. There's

382
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:46.039
other animals out there, But I've never heard a coyote

383
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:51.480
make a two tone, twenty second long sound like what

384
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:55.000
I heard. And I heard it four times that morning.

385
00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:56.680
I'm getting ready get in the truck to go to work.

386
00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:58.160
I leave her out early in the morning to go

387
00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:01.039
to work. I'm the only one out there in the dark,

388
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:07.720
and I hear ooh, and it's coming from the same

389
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:13.400
direction as my interactions have came from. So yeah, I

390
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:19.160
feel like that was, you know, definitely them. I don't

391
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:21.680
know what that means. You know, I'm not going to

392
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:25.119
call back to them. I'm not gonna. I don't I

393
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:27.279
don't whoop, I don't.

394
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:27.880
Beat on trees.

395
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.880
If that's their communication and you don't understand what you're saying,

396
00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:37.599
then why I You know, I don't want to tell

397
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:38.240
anybody how.

398
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:40.160
To do what they do. You know what I mean?

399
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:43.279
That's you do your thing the way you feel you

400
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:46.599
need to do it. But That would be like me

401
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:49.279
trying to speak Spanish to someone and I don't know

402
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:53.039
how to speak Spanish, so if I made a sound

403
00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:55.000
that sounded like sometimes, I wouldn't even know what it meant.

404
00:24:55.400 --> 00:25:00.599
So that's that's my opinion. That's my view. And like

405
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:03.160
I said, I don't want to offend anybody for what

406
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:11.799
they do. Everybody do your thing. But that started over

407
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:18.079
a year period, I started getting turkey feathers left in

408
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:24.319
place of the gifts I was leaping. So that led

409
00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:27.759
me to definitely feel like that was them. Because when

410
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:29.599
I would go out on my walks on the lake,

411
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:34.279
I would scavenge things to make decorative items out of.

412
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:38.119
And this feathers right here are some of the feathers

413
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:42.000
that I collected. This is one of the feathers turkey

414
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:46.799
feather was left for me got the cemetery, and I

415
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:48.240
keep it with me. I made it a part of

416
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.240
my hat. I wear that hat on special occasions and

417
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:57.759
at conventions and shows and things of that nature. So

418
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:01.640
I had the the whole gifting thing going on for

419
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:04.759
a little bit and then a couple of people had

420
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:08.640
told me, said you probably shouldn't gift, and I was

421
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:11.839
like why they was like, well, let's say something happens

422
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:16.640
and you stop gifting. They may not understand why you

423
00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:20.319
stop gifting, and it may be upsetting to them, or

424
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:25.279
it could be insulting to them, or like definitely food,

425
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:28.319
It was like, if you're leaving food and they get

426
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:30.160
used to the food being there and then for some

427
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:34.400
reason you can't, Well, the next person just happens to

428
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:37.720
come by that cemetery to visit a grave could get

429
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:41.960
a bad interaction because they may associate people with food

430
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:45.839
at that point, and you could be setting someone else

431
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:49.880
up for a bad day, right, I don't know, you know,

432
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:54.440
this is all it's a guessing game, and we try

433
00:26:54.559 --> 00:27:00.160
things and we try to we're trying to communicate, and

434
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:04.039
we don't always know if the way we see it

435
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:08.359
is the way they see it. So I try to

436
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:10.559
I try to keep all this in mind, you know.

437
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:13.599
But I've.

438
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:21.240
I've changed my position on this many times because I

439
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:23.480
first started out, well, you know, this is a West

440
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:26.920
Coast thing, Well, this is a relic home in it

441
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:34.400
or a an undiscovered Grade eight, And then after I've

442
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:40.079
watched probably five thousand hours or better of podcasts and

443
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:45.279
documentaries and people's opinions and some things just don't make sense.

444
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:52.799
I mean, there's intelligent interaction going on, and some things

445
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:57.920
just seem too too intelligent to me to be an

446
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:10.119
ape or an ape behaveavior. There's you know, I want

447
00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:14.799
to think that I'm an intelligent person, and I feel

448
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:18.119
like I would be remiss if I didn't listen to

449
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:24.039
everyone's experiences and try to gather, you know, a full,

450
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:27.839
a full understanding of what's going on.

451
00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:30.000
You know.

452
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:33.839
I know you did a couple episodes with Carrie from

453
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:37.559
over in near Harley, Yeah, and she had a walk

454
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:43.640
going on there, and and so some of this behavior

455
00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:48.200
just doesn't seem natural or in the way that we

456
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:54.720
think natural is. So I'm trying to I guess I'm

457
00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:56.279
trying to burn the candle at both ends here. I'm

458
00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.480
trying to trying to take in everyone's experiences and everyone's thoughts,

459
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:05.279
and and you know, not everybody has good experiences.

460
00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:05.920
You know.

461
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:10.119
I was talking to Greg House from Woodwalkers, and you know,

462
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:13.640
and he got chased out of the woods and he

463
00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:16.000
felt like if he didn't have that rifle with him

464
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:25.119
that day, he wouldn't have went home, you know. So yeah, Lord,

465
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:30.440
I just there's so much there's so much and I

466
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.000
try to I try to be fair with everyone and

467
00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:36.160
listen to their experiences. And I know some people are

468
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:38.559
going to hear what I've said today and think this

469
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:41.839
guy's crazy. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

470
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:46.799
You know, he's hearing voices in his head. He's crazy.

471
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:49.519
I don't know what to tell you other than the

472
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:53.359
fact that I'll put my hand on a Bible, I'll

473
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:56.759
take a lot of detector test, you know what I mean.

474
00:29:57.319 --> 00:29:58.799
I've heard what I heard.

475
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:05.119
And absolutely I've seen what I've seen, you know, and

476
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:08.519
then you know, all this is kind of led up to.

477
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:10.240
Here.

478
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:16.240
Recently, in the last two months, I've had three visuals.

479
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:21.079
Wow, some people see one one their entire life.

480
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:24.359
And if I only saw that one, I'd have been

481
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:29.960
trust me, I'd have been satisfied with that. Coming back

482
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.799
through the Area Woods, I was coming back from my

483
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:39.440
parents' house again. This was two months ago. The way

484
00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:41.920
this road is, it's kind of like a little roller coasters.

485
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:43.839
It's kind of like humps in it, and you have

486
00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:46.759
to be paying attention to the road. And typically I'll

487
00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:49.119
meet two or three vehicles coming through there, so I

488
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:51.400
don't get to look off the road very much. I always,

489
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:54.480
you know, try to be a good driver. This night,

490
00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:57.640
I met no one, so I'm able to kind of

491
00:30:57.680 --> 00:30:59.599
scan the side of the road a little bit better.

492
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:02.680
And as I come through a dip, I look over

493
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:07.359
and there's got to be at least ten foot bigfoot

494
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:11.480
forest person. He's reaching from tree to tree and he

495
00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:15.759
stretched out. His whole body is stretched out. I see

496
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.839
the entire form. I see the left leg, the left arm,

497
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:24.680
the neck. I could see hair under the armpit as

498
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:29.039
it's reaching for that next tree. And once again, this

499
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:32.319
behavior makes no sense because they see me coming. I

500
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:34.839
got lights on, I got a I'm in a truck.

501
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:38.720
It's not quiet. Why not just stand still?

502
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:44.119
You know? Why move? It doesn't make sense.

503
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:49.279
So, you know, I see this and I'm like, holy crap,

504
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:51.559
that one's got to be two foot bigger than the

505
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:54.920
first one I saw. And the first one I saw

506
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:57.279
was brown. Of course, this is you know, dust. It

507
00:31:57.400 --> 00:31:59.839
looked this one looked black. It did not look like

508
00:31:59.880 --> 00:32:02.440
the same one, and I don't believe it was the

509
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:09.319
same one. This one was way wider, it was at

510
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:13.599
least two foot taller, and it just looked huge like

511
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:16.079
the first one. Looked a little more I don't want

512
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:19.279
to say athletic, but it definitely was not massive, So

513
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:22.839
it possibly could have been a juvenile or a female.

514
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:26.440
This one looked like a big male. He looked huge.

515
00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:31.440
So again, you know, I'm like, holy crap. And as

516
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:33.680
sin as I get home, I message hardly and I'm like,

517
00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:34.960
you're not going to believe this.

518
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:38.119
Just saw one, you know.

519
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:41.519
He's like where and I'm like, almost like within five

520
00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:44.880
hundred yards before I saw the first one, And he's like,

521
00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:46.720
holy crap, We're gonna have to get out there and

522
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:49.319
take some measurements, you know. And I'm like, I don't

523
00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:53.640
know if I'm cool with that. You know, for somebody

524
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:55.599
that wants to see him, I don't want to see him.

525
00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:58.440
For somebody that wants to have a little bit of

526
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:05.720
an interaction, I'm also scared. I I don't know. It's

527
00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:08.440
it's you know, I was talking to early about this yesterday.

528
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:13.119
It's just like I don't always know.

529
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:17.839
How I feel because at times I'm like I need

530
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:20.319
to keep my butt home. I need to I need

531
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:22.240
to play this safe. I don't need to I don't

532
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:27.200
need to try to encourage anything to happen, and then

533
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:30.039
at other times, I'm like, how are we gonna how

534
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:33.480
are we going to ever further this if we don't

535
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:36.480
get some answers. You know, how are we ever going

536
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:40.839
to convince people that they're real if we don't get

537
00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:45.279
the good evidence. And for my own sake, I just

538
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:50.400
want to know. I want I want answers. If I

539
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:53.359
leave this world without them, okay, cool, I'm I'm going

540
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:56.960
to a better place anyways, I still want to know.

541
00:33:57.279 --> 00:33:59.200
You know, there's there's there's a peace in me that's

542
00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:05.200
just got to know. And so I was like, okay,

543
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:07.799
you know, I told Hardly, we'll go back out come.

544
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:10.719
You know, we've got a trip planned out to his

545
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:12.480
research area coming in December.

546
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:15.199
But so.

547
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:23.239
That happened, and then Labor Day weekend, I'm outside. I've

548
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:25.519
been working in my building. I don't like to be

549
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:29.119
out there after dark anymore. That's that's a part of

550
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:32.960
my whole scared thing. With the motion lights, with the cameras,

551
00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:36.840
I still sometimes get a bad building when I'm out

552
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:38.519
there in the building. I just get a bad building,

553
00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:40.239
like you don't need to be out here right now,

554
00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:43.880
you need to go in. And I'm out there in

555
00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:46.119
the building work and I'm trying to I'm trying to

556
00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:48.000
top myself up. I'm like, you know, you've got to

557
00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:51.400
get over this. You need to you need to get

558
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:55.000
past this. So I pushed past what I normally do.

559
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:58.079
I stayed out there well past dark. I'm working on

560
00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:03.599
a knife. I walk up, I walk around the corner

561
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:06.559
and I've got a little little fire pit there. I

562
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:08.400
take my wood scraps and I burn them in the

563
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:12.119
fire pit. I start busting up some of the little

564
00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:16.000
wood pieces, even smaller for kindling. And I see the

565
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:20.360
motion lot in the backyard come on. So I'm just

566
00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:23.880
you know, sometimes raccoons and stuff come through. It's not

567
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:25.599
that big a deal to see the motion loight come on.

568
00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:30.639
So I just kind of look over. But as I

569
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:34.679
look behind my building, which is the only blind spot

570
00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:40.199
in my entire yard, I see a figure right against

571
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:45.000
the building, and I thought, well, you need to find

572
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:48.199
out what this is. So I walk over and I

573
00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:53.199
sent you a picture of my little building there, and

574
00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:56.440
I've got a little bench in front of it, and

575
00:35:57.480 --> 00:36:02.119
the backside of that building is where it was. Yeah,

576
00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:07.639
right there, right behind that ladder, that's where it was at.

577
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.079
And like I said, the cameras can't see back there.

578
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:13.719
There's a camera on that corner facing the house, and

579
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:16.280
then there's a camera on the back of the house

580
00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:19.679
facing toward the building. But in that little area right

581
00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:23.519
there behind that ladder is the only dark spot where

582
00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:27.880
I don't have coverage. That thing was standing right up

583
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:30.800
against the building in that little area right there, and

584
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:37.559
its head was almost up to under that edge, and

585
00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:41.840
I thought, well, that's like seven feet and I was like,

586
00:36:41.880 --> 00:36:44.440
holy crap. You know, at this point, I'm thirty feet

587
00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:47.599
away and the only thing between me and it's that

588
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:53.119
little old table sitting there, and I had the machete

589
00:36:53.159 --> 00:36:55.199
still in my hand from where I was busting up

590
00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:59.679
that wood. And I look and at this point, you know,

591
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:01.599
I and I can't see its space, but I can

592
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:06.719
see its entire form, and it's black, it's big, and

593
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:08.719
I just look at it and I go, hey, I

594
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:12.360
see you over there. I'm going to go back over

595
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:16.760
here to my fire pit. And I just turned around

596
00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:20.719
and backed away, and I went back to my fire pit,

597
00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:23.840
and I stood there and I watched in that direction,

598
00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:28.079
and it just drifted over into those trees and drifted

599
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:33.679
back into the tree line and disappeared. So that's my

600
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:40.280
closest encounter. And even though it was the closest, is

601
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:42.800
still in the dark, and I didn't get like the

602
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:45.440
best look at it. I still didn't get like a

603
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:52.239
facial feature. But I didn't have a bad feeling. Like

604
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:56.360
in the past, anytime I'd had any kind of anything,

605
00:37:56.440 --> 00:38:00.920
I always felt a little negative about it, like it

606
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:07.039
just gave me a bad rub. This one, like it

607
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:11.079
didn't terrify me. It didn't scare me. And I don't

608
00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:12.320
know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

609
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:14.119
I don't know if I'm getting used to it or

610
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:19.639
like there's a vibe there that I felt like it

611
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:22.559
wasn't going to hurt me. But if it was standing

612
00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:26.760
there when I was still inside my building, literally I

613
00:38:26.920 --> 00:38:31.280
was feet from it with just that little wall between us, and.

614
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:32.320
I had no bad building.

615
00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:40.880
So that was that was And I openerformed me because

616
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:44.800
I hadn't been finding any tracks since I put the

617
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:47.239
cameras up, and I didn't feel like they were possibly

618
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:47.880
coming around.

619
00:38:49.800 --> 00:38:52.119
But now I know they still come around.

620
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:55.599
Yeah, they're just getting smart enough to not be around

621
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:58.599
the cameras, which, yeah, that's really interesting.

622
00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:03.800
Yeah, And like I said, I've got I've got motion lights.

623
00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:06.760
Right on the on the inside of this bench here,

624
00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:09.960
there's a motion light. And then up on the corner

625
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:12.440
of that building there above those metal signs, there's a

626
00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:16.360
camera facing toward the house that way. So that's the

627
00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:18.880
that's the only dead zone out there is right behind

628
00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:23.039
that building. And you can follow that tree line from

629
00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:26.039
property to property all the way back to the lake.

630
00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:33.280
So that's that's like, I know, some animals are good

631
00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:38.079
at hiding. I'm not doubting that, but that shows real

632
00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:43.280
intelligence right there, that it found the only blind spot

633
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:47.159
in my security network and it drifted into it quietly

634
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:49.079
and was just watching.

635
00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:53.159
Absolutely. And that was you said two months ago.

636
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:56.239
Yeah, yeah, that was It was on a Friday night.

637
00:39:56.880 --> 00:39:59.400
I was home alone, and I've just been out there

638
00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:02.960
working and like I said, trying to be a brave

639
00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:06.360
little soldier and get my nerve up because, like I said,

640
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:08.639
my wife makes fun of me saying I'm afraid of

641
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:10.280
the dark, and I'm like, no, I'm not afraid of

642
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:13.960
the dark. I'm afraid of what's in the dark because

643
00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:18.039
I know they're out there. That's you know, once you

644
00:40:18.199 --> 00:40:20.599
know they're there, you just can't look at things the

645
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:26.239
same anymore. And there's plenty of people out there way

646
00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:29.800
braver and I am. I mean, yeah, do do I

647
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:32.719
sometimes go out looking and looking for evidence?

648
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:33.239
I do.

649
00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:38.599
I don't do night investigations. I don't try to put

650
00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:41.800
myself out there and really really far away from my.

651
00:40:41.880 --> 00:40:43.800
Vehicle or far away from the road.

652
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:49.199
I'm not an armchair but I'm definitely not a full

653
00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:54.599
pleasure researcher. I'm a witness. I'm a believer. I'm a knower.

654
00:40:56.000 --> 00:40:58.880
And like I went out with Harley and I'm going

655
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:01.480
to go out with Harley again, and I'm trying to

656
00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:06.400
trying to put myself out there a little bit. And yeah,

657
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:08.159
I mean I'll be a little braver when I got

658
00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:08.920
somebody with me.

659
00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:09.800
I definitely do.

660
00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:14.360
Yeah, absolutely, Robbie. But a lot of it is, I mean,

661
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:17.119
you don't really have to go out. It's like to

662
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:22.039
come at least once they've come to your place, you know.

663
00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:26.079
Well, you know with that trackway, that's more than once.

664
00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:28.119
So yeah, yeah, absolutely.

665
00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:31.599
But I've kind of noticed that it almost seems like

666
00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:36.119
a pattern, like it's been four to five years, Like

667
00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:39.360
twenty seventeen was when I had to mind speak twenty

668
00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:42.559
twenty one is when I had deciding, and now it's

669
00:41:42.559 --> 00:41:47.039
twenty twenty five and it's back. It's almost I'm beginning

670
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:50.519
to think there's a pattern of about four years, four

671
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:55.800
to five years that they're coming around, so that might

672
00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:58.559
be a coincidence. But I just got to think my

673
00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:03.119
initial mind speaker and then around September of twenty.

674
00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:06.320
Seventeen, okay, and then that's interesting.

675
00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:11.599
My first sighting was December of twenty twenty one, and

676
00:42:11.639 --> 00:42:19.440
then my two sidings recently were around October September, so

677
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:28.000
which led up to this last sighting. And this is

678
00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:30.159
the one that really really shook me.

679
00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:33.440
This is the one where I'm pretty sure, just to

680
00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:36.920
jump in for say, I think this is the one

681
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:42.119
where Harley called me up afterwards, like either that night

682
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:45.280
or the next day, and he shook up. I'm pretty

683
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:46.159
sure this is the same one.

684
00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:50.559
But continue, Yeah, yeah, this is definitely the Harley Owens experience.

685
00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:55.000
I kind of feel like me and him both for

686
00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:58.760
some reason. We have a lot of activity, we have

687
00:42:58.800 --> 00:43:02.320
a lot of evidence, more so than some people that

688
00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:05.840
have been looking for twenty years. And I don't know

689
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:09.360
if it's meant to be or.

690
00:43:10.920 --> 00:43:13.199
Like I've heard say.

691
00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:16.000
Some people say, like, you're high vibration person, like they

692
00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:18.840
can maybe they pick up on you, they pick up

693
00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:23.039
on your vibe, they pick up on your intention. I'm

694
00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:26.880
not saying that's true. I'm saying that's things I've heard.

695
00:43:27.199 --> 00:43:29.239
So Hardly wanted me to go with him out to

696
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:32.559
his research area, and I was like, sure, I've been

697
00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:35.800
wanting to go out with you. You know, I want

698
00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:39.920
to support you. I want to go out and get

699
00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:43.159
out in a different area. I've never been in that area.

700
00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:46.079
I like, I said, I lived thirty minutes from there,

701
00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:48.960
about forty minutes from the actual research area, but I've

702
00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:54.920
never been off the main road over there. So we'll

703
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:59.199
get in there. That area is so much different than

704
00:43:59.239 --> 00:44:03.079
here because it's near the National Park.

705
00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:07.360
It's the laurels are so thick.

706
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:12.679
Once we got down in that valley, you couldn't see

707
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:16.880
fifteen feet on either side of you. And we start

708
00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:21.320
finding tracks. We found fourteen inch tracks, we found seventeen

709
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:24.400
inch tracks, we found nineteen inch tracks, and we found

710
00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:28.519
twenty two inch tracks. So we know there's four different

711
00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:33.400
individuals in here because there's four different sized tracks. So

712
00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:36.360
we're going through this valley and Harley's been in here

713
00:44:36.519 --> 00:44:40.960
more multiple times, so he knows that we start getting

714
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:45.400
things tossed at us. Okay, this is new for me.

715
00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:51.000
Like I've seen them, I've heard them, I've never had

716
00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:57.239
them interact with me. So Harley's like, hey, Robbie's a friend, now,

717
00:44:57.280 --> 00:45:00.559
don't act like that, you know, just making conversation with them.

718
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:03.280
And I'm like, is there really a good idea to

719
00:45:03.320 --> 00:45:03.920
say that to him?

720
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:04.199
Hartley?

721
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:07.280
I mean, you know, I don't think we should tell

722
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:09.320
them how to, you know, how to act with me.

723
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:12.840
And He's like, come on there, they they've never they've never,

724
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:17.360
you know, got rude with me or anything. I'm like, okay.

725
00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:20.360
So we went our way down. Then we find there's

726
00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:23.639
a little spring in there, and all of a sudden,

727
00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:27.800
the grounds just all tore up and and we're inspecting

728
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:32.639
it and it looks like possibly something got took down

729
00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:36.400
in this area. There's a big smudge, and Harley walks

730
00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:38.599
around the other side of it and there there's clearly

731
00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:44.280
a handprint in the mud. Goodness, and we got pictures

732
00:45:44.280 --> 00:45:47.719
and videos of it, and Harley's posted the pictures. Well,

733
00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:50.559
we got to looking leading up to that side, the

734
00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:52.800
grounds all tore up, and we're trying to figure out

735
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:56.639
if it was a boar, a bear, a deer, what

736
00:45:56.639 --> 00:46:00.320
what got took out at this point, and we couldn't

737
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:04.239
really make out any distinguishable tracks, but there was clearly

738
00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:07.960
a torn up area. And I recorded all this with

739
00:46:08.119 --> 00:46:11.880
my phone, but the phone won't let me send them

740
00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:14.519
because I recorded for eight to fifteen minutes at a time,

741
00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:18.239
and I'm having trouble sending them. But I don't know

742
00:46:18.239 --> 00:46:20.280
if I'm gonna have to download them onto a file

743
00:46:20.360 --> 00:46:22.880
and then send the file or how I'm going to

744
00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:23.559
have to do that.

745
00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:26.199
Probably yes, yeah, I'm.

746
00:46:26.079 --> 00:46:30.159
Not a tech person at all. But so we go

747
00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:33.800
on down. There's some other things Hardly wanted to show me.

748
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:40.159
So this whole time, I've had this little inkling in

749
00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:43.119
my head like we need to leave, Like I kind

750
00:46:43.119 --> 00:46:45.280
of felt like we'd stayed or welcome, you know, we

751
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:48.320
need to get out. But you know, Harley's trying to

752
00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:51.719
show me everything, and I'm like, you know, okay, yeah,

753
00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:54.480
we start back up through, we follow our same tracks.

754
00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:57.880
We get back up just past the takedown side, and

755
00:46:57.960 --> 00:47:01.000
Harley's you know, making a few whoops and you know,

756
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:06.400
he clapped a few times and some more things started

757
00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:10.960
getting tossed, and we can hear them on both sides

758
00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:16.199
of the laurel. We know they're there. There's no if

759
00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:21.760
ans or butts. We're being walked out, and we had

760
00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:24.000
heard something on the way in, so we kind of

761
00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:26.199
felt like they were there then, but like on the

762
00:47:26.239 --> 00:47:28.880
way out, we definitely know they're there. And like I said,

763
00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:34.440
they're just fifteen feet on each side of us. So

764
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:39.800
at this point I'm a little nervous. So we get

765
00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:43.199
closer to being out, and then all of a sudden,

766
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:49.559
we hear tree knocks, and then I'm like, man, this

767
00:47:49.760 --> 00:47:52.920
we're getting the whole gambit here. You know, I heard

768
00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:54.840
one tree knock in my life, and it was on

769
00:47:54.880 --> 00:47:57.320
the other side of the lake. I was fishing and

770
00:47:57.360 --> 00:48:01.280
I heard one tree knock. This is three wraps in

771
00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:06.599
a row back and then we hear again back back

772
00:48:06.679 --> 00:48:10.480
back in a different area, and then it sounds like

773
00:48:10.639 --> 00:48:15.039
rock clacks, and I'm like, man, this is wild. Like

774
00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:21.199
I've got tracks, I've got clearly being walked out, I've

775
00:48:21.199 --> 00:48:24.079
got rock throws, like this is just the whole thing

776
00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:31.079
of what people get. And then it got aggressive. Then

777
00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:37.440
there were three growls and at this point, I'm I'm

778
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:40.199
losing my skin, you know, Like I thought i'd been

779
00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:43.920
scared in the past. Now I'm scared because I know

780
00:48:43.960 --> 00:48:48.320
we're surrounded and it's starting to get tense. So at

781
00:48:48.320 --> 00:48:52.199
this point I had actually moved ahead of Harley, and

782
00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:54.679
I have my phone on video.

783
00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:58.679
I'm videoing behind us.

784
00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:01.280
All of a sudden, you hear the little go and

785
00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:06.639
start snapping, and Harley's like go and and I take

786
00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:08.599
two or three steps and I look over my shoulder

787
00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:13.239
and he's like go, it's right behind me, and he's

788
00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:15.159
pretty much gave me a little push in the back,

789
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:18.360
and I'm you know, I'm not in the best shape guys.

790
00:49:18.559 --> 00:49:20.719
You know, I'm trying my best to get up this

791
00:49:20.760 --> 00:49:26.519
wet valley. And then I look over my shoulder and

792
00:49:26.559 --> 00:49:27.760
I see it behind Harvey.

793
00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:32.760
No way, I had a just very good visual.

794
00:49:33.079 --> 00:49:35.000
I could see the neck and the head.

795
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:35.800
You know.

796
00:49:36.440 --> 00:49:42.320
I'm five seven, Harley six six, and we're on a bank.

797
00:49:43.159 --> 00:49:48.599
I look over Harley's shoulder and it's coming and it's

798
00:49:48.639 --> 00:49:53.400
more of an eight face, the grillish looking epe face.

799
00:49:55.199 --> 00:49:57.639
It's got around it head. There's not like the big

800
00:49:57.719 --> 00:50:02.639
cradulalle best crest it's it's more rounded. Eyes were real

801
00:50:02.679 --> 00:50:08.760
far apart black eyes, and it looks angry, and I'm thinking,

802
00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:14.800
holy crap, I'm going to die here, so go go.

803
00:50:16.280 --> 00:50:18.280
So we get up the bank and it pops out

804
00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:23.360
into an opening. And at this point I remember I'm armed,

805
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:28.320
because I don't go anywhere unarmed, and I put my

806
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:30.239
hand on it. I don't draw it. I put my

807
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:34.679
hand on it. And then we stop and we look

808
00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:39.079
back and I see a dark figure about eighty yards away,

809
00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:44.480
and I apologize. I was like, I'm sorry, we got

810
00:50:44.480 --> 00:50:49.320
the message, we're leave it. And I don't know if

811
00:50:49.360 --> 00:50:51.960
that's the one that was behind us and it averted

812
00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:53.719
up the bank, or if that was one of the

813
00:50:53.760 --> 00:50:56.639
other ones. But there was definitely a dark figure up

814
00:50:56.639 --> 00:51:03.920
that bank. So we started out and I asked Arlie.

815
00:51:03.960 --> 00:51:07.079
I said, are you armed? He goes no. I said,

816
00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:07.880
you're not armed.

817
00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:08.519
He goes.

818
00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:12.800
I got my axe in ma machete, so I had two.

819
00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:16.599
I hand him one, and we still have to walk

820
00:51:16.639 --> 00:51:17.400
a mile.

821
00:51:17.199 --> 00:51:17.719
Out of here.

822
00:51:18.199 --> 00:51:19.119
Oh man.

823
00:51:19.719 --> 00:51:24.719
After this interaction, oh I forgot. And we also got

824
00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:28.159
the smell. I've never had the smell before, but right

825
00:51:28.199 --> 00:51:32.480
before the grouse started, I got the then she's like

826
00:51:32.559 --> 00:51:36.239
almost an acidic smell. So, like I said, I got

827
00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:39.800
the whole gambit on this. I got throws, I got growls,

828
00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:46.639
I got stalked, I got smell, and then chased. And

829
00:51:46.760 --> 00:51:50.559
it was terra paining. I mean, it's absolutely terri paying.

830
00:51:51.840 --> 00:51:55.000
I haven't covered a mile aground that fast since high

831
00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:59.199
school and that was one hundred pounds of lader right,

832
00:52:00.360 --> 00:52:03.400
And honestly, by the time we got out of there,

833
00:52:04.400 --> 00:52:06.840
my hand was cramped. I had my hand on that

834
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:11.559
pistol so tight that my hand hurt me the rest

835
00:52:11.559 --> 00:52:14.480
of the night. I literally had a depth grip on

836
00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:21.119
this thing, and it was a block twenty ten millimeter

837
00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:25.480
with bare rounds. I don't know if that would stop one.

838
00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:28.400
I don't want to find out. I feel a little

839
00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:32.239
better having it, but I don't ever want to try

840
00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:36.000
to find out. I don't want to have bad interactions.

841
00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:38.679
I don't want to drag one in. I don't want

842
00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:44.039
to kill one. I don't know that if you did,

843
00:52:44.079 --> 00:52:47.559
you'd ever actually get it to the public. Yeah, exactly,

844
00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:51.599
because I've heard many people say that if you try that,

845
00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:53.880
you'll probably get stopped before you ever get it to

846
00:52:53.920 --> 00:53:00.360
that point, and you'll be labeled as a poacher or

847
00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:01.719
something along that line.

848
00:53:01.800 --> 00:53:02.000
You know.

849
00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:04.320
I'm not going to get into all that. That's neither

850
00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:11.719
here nor there, right, But I honestly, even with that.

851
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:15.639
I was petrified. I was petrified.

852
00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:18.920
I had sixteen rounds of two hundred and thirty green

853
00:53:19.039 --> 00:53:23.440
hard cast back rounds, and I still felt like it

854
00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:27.639
wouldn't enough, and especially knowing that there was probably four

855
00:53:27.719 --> 00:53:34.320
of them and there's two of us, so we're out numbered.

856
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:39.239
We're in the middle of nowhere, and they got rude

857
00:53:39.239 --> 00:53:42.960
with us, you know. So yeah, that walk out of

858
00:53:42.960 --> 00:53:49.480
there was intense. It was really intense, and I didn't

859
00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:52.000
have nightmares about it, but I think about it a lot.

860
00:53:53.599 --> 00:53:56.960
I don't blame you. I would be thinking about that constantly,

861
00:53:57.119 --> 00:53:59.800
and that would affect everything from there on out.

862
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:04.760
There's there's I can see how people don't believe because

863
00:54:04.760 --> 00:54:09.960
they've never had these interactions like we have. But like

864
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:12.280
I said, I'll put my hand on stack of Bibles

865
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:15.199
and take a light detect your test. I am the truth.

866
00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:18.079
And if you don't believe me, I'm sorry.

867
00:54:18.360 --> 00:54:20.519
You know I can't.

868
00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:22.239
I can't do anything else to prove it to you,

869
00:54:22.239 --> 00:54:24.480
except but get out there and go look for yourself.

870
00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:26.159
You know.

871
00:54:27.280 --> 00:54:32.000
Yeah, I think everybody that looks has interactions.

872
00:54:32.719 --> 00:54:37.039
Absolutely not one hundred percent. No, I agree with you on.

873
00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:44.320
That location timing. If they didn't want us to know

874
00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:46.679
they were there that day, they would have just been quiet.

875
00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:51.199
They would just let us walk in, walked out, and

876
00:54:51.519 --> 00:54:53.679
you know, I would have been like, yeah, we found tracks.

877
00:54:53.719 --> 00:54:56.880
I know they're here, but that's all I would have

878
00:54:56.880 --> 00:55:03.599
had was tracks. But they put that little, that little

879
00:55:03.639 --> 00:55:05.760
sting on the end of it. There's like get out,

880
00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:10.280
and I don't you know, I'd, like I said, if

881
00:55:10.360 --> 00:55:14.159
they wanted us that day, it wouldn't have been a

882
00:55:14.239 --> 00:55:19.119
question because they already had us surrounded. They could have

883
00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:23.199
overpowered us in seconds. They just wanted us out.

884
00:55:26.639 --> 00:55:29.440
So I have a few questions about that, and some

885
00:55:29.480 --> 00:55:35.119
of these I might have to ask Harley afterwards. So

886
00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:40.039
do you think there's video of that interaction where something

887
00:55:40.280 --> 00:55:44.119
rushes at you guys, at least the audio of it

888
00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:44.840
on the video.

889
00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:48.960
Well, that's the thing that always happens, and it seems

890
00:55:48.960 --> 00:55:50.840
that people say it and say it and say it.

891
00:55:51.159 --> 00:55:53.719
I get in the truck. Harley's like, you got that right,

892
00:55:53.760 --> 00:55:56.320
and I'm like, yeah, I got that. I click on

893
00:55:56.360 --> 00:55:58.639
my phone. I look, there's a video up to the

894
00:55:58.639 --> 00:56:01.639
point that we start hearing the tree knocks in the growl,

895
00:56:03.079 --> 00:56:04.320
and then my phone shut off.

896
00:56:04.840 --> 00:56:08.039
No way, Oh well, yeah, of course it would. I mean, yeah,

897
00:56:08.119 --> 00:56:13.840
that that perfectly lines up with the whole Yeah, everything electronic.

898
00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:17.840
Just you know, and I know critics are going to

899
00:56:17.840 --> 00:56:20.360
be like, oh, of course, yeah, of course you didn't

900
00:56:20.360 --> 00:56:23.039
get it. Trust me. When I got in that truck

901
00:56:23.079 --> 00:56:26.400
and I looked and I didn't have that, I became nauseous.

902
00:56:26.840 --> 00:56:32.679
I physically became nauseous because I'm like, how did I

903
00:56:32.719 --> 00:56:33.239
not get that?

904
00:56:34.000 --> 00:56:35.239
How did Now?

905
00:56:36.679 --> 00:56:39.239
I can't swear to you that while I wasn't running

906
00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:42.239
for my life, I didn't accidentally hit the button, because

907
00:56:42.280 --> 00:56:45.159
trust me, at that point I stopped trying to get

908
00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:48.639
video and was trying to get out. Could I have

909
00:56:48.719 --> 00:56:54.159
accidentally hit the button, Sure, but the timing just is

910
00:56:54.280 --> 00:56:57.800
so I had forty something minutes of us in there,

911
00:56:58.280 --> 00:57:00.400
and then when the magic happens, I don't get it.

912
00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:04.760
Yeah, I got it. Photography.

913
00:57:04.840 --> 00:57:11.559
I've took racetrack photography, and that's like the most pivotal

914
00:57:11.679 --> 00:57:14.480
thing they ever needed to catch in my life.

915
00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:16.400
I missed it.

916
00:57:18.159 --> 00:57:23.400
You know, the phone in my hand had been videoing minutes,

917
00:57:23.679 --> 00:57:28.960
you know, seconds before, and then I don't have it.

918
00:57:28.280 --> 00:57:29.760
It was upsetting.

919
00:57:30.440 --> 00:57:33.320
Yeah, I would be extremely frustrated. I am going to

920
00:57:33.480 --> 00:57:37.440
ask Harley. I wonder if he was wearing his setup

921
00:57:37.559 --> 00:57:42.159
where he's taking the video on facing the back, you

922
00:57:42.199 --> 00:57:44.519
know what I mean, he was the whole setup. He

923
00:57:44.599 --> 00:57:47.519
wasn't oh man, oh man, he.

924
00:57:47.480 --> 00:57:51.119
Didn't have his back set up on. Uh.

925
00:57:51.239 --> 00:57:53.360
I mean it was the biggest interaction of either one

926
00:57:53.400 --> 00:57:54.320
of US's life.

927
00:57:54.760 --> 00:57:59.000
Yeah, I missed it. We just missed it. And it's heartbreaking.

928
00:57:59.039 --> 00:57:59.920
It really is.

929
00:58:00.239 --> 00:58:01.079
Yeah, it is.

930
00:58:01.159 --> 00:58:04.000
I mean I was nauseous for an hour after that

931
00:58:04.039 --> 00:58:07.880
because I was so disappointed in myself. Yeah, but I

932
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:10.599
know it's happened to multiple people, so I mean, I'm

933
00:58:10.599 --> 00:58:14.960
not the first one that dropped the ball. But like

934
00:58:14.960 --> 00:58:16.760
I said, I did they do it?

935
00:58:16.800 --> 00:58:17.519
Did I do it?

936
00:58:18.360 --> 00:58:20.880
I don't know. I can't. I'm not going to sit

937
00:58:20.920 --> 00:58:22.320
here and say they turned my phone off.

938
00:58:22.400 --> 00:58:22.800
I don't.

939
00:58:23.880 --> 00:58:27.679
But you know, it's like my wife went out one

940
00:58:27.760 --> 00:58:30.239
night to release a raccoon in the same area where

941
00:58:30.280 --> 00:58:31.519
I've had my experiences.

942
00:58:32.599 --> 00:58:33.320
Her and her sister.

943
00:58:33.440 --> 00:58:35.800
She told her sister because there's really not a lot

944
00:58:35.840 --> 00:58:37.039
of places to get off the side of the road.

945
00:58:37.079 --> 00:58:39.639
She said, you just dropped me off. Go down the

946
00:58:39.679 --> 00:58:42.280
road and turn around and I'll release the raccoon and

947
00:58:43.159 --> 00:58:46.599
you come back and get me. As soon as my

948
00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:50.079
sister in law got out of sight, the flashlight went dead.

949
00:58:51.760 --> 00:58:56.440
That flashlight has worked a thousand times. And she's in

950
00:58:56.519 --> 00:58:59.239
the area where I had my experience by herself standing

951
00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:01.800
there and just turn that raccoon in the flashlight. Dogs.

952
00:59:03.400 --> 00:59:06.599
But she's a skeptic, so she said, oh, the battery

953
00:59:06.719 --> 00:59:09.559
just died on it, right, Did it work when you

954
00:59:09.559 --> 00:59:11.599
got home? You turned it on? She said, well, yeah,

955
00:59:11.719 --> 00:59:17.039
it turned back on. I'm like, come on, yeah, I

956
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:17.760
totally get it.

957
00:59:17.920 --> 00:59:26.800
Wow. So after that, would you so that situation you

958
00:59:26.840 --> 00:59:29.880
were in with Harley, how has that affected you? Will

959
00:59:29.920 --> 00:59:33.239
you go out after that? Or are you way more

960
00:59:33.280 --> 00:59:34.760
cautious after experiencing that.

961
00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:38.679
I have agreed to go back with him.

962
00:59:39.119 --> 00:59:41.440
Well sure, yeah. In December he had said.

963
00:59:41.199 --> 00:59:43.880
That I total him. I want at least one or

964
00:59:43.880 --> 00:59:45.599
two more people to go with this. I don't want

965
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:48.480
to just be me and him. I don't feel like

966
00:59:48.559 --> 00:59:52.159
most people feel like they have less aggressive interactions when

967
00:59:52.199 --> 00:59:55.920
there's a group versus one or two people, right, So

968
00:59:56.159 --> 00:59:58.920
I was like, yeah, I'll go back and trust me,

969
00:59:58.960 --> 01:00:03.679
that's not an easy to say for me. I had

970
01:00:03.719 --> 01:00:06.039
a long talk with my daughter recently and she's like,

971
01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:08.800
why why do you feel the need to go out there?

972
01:00:10.039 --> 01:00:14.559
You know the real You've had experiences. Why put yourself

973
01:00:14.559 --> 01:00:20.760
in that situation? And I'm like, I don't know. There's

974
01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:26.239
just things I can't describe how I feel inside knowing

975
01:00:26.760 --> 01:00:29.119
I know the real. I know the real, that's not

976
01:00:29.159 --> 01:00:34.559
even a question. But a piece of me wants that interaction.

977
01:00:34.639 --> 01:00:38.800
A piece of me wants to have an interaction with them,

978
01:00:39.039 --> 01:00:41.400
and another piece of means like, you're a freaking idiot.

979
01:00:41.480 --> 01:00:46.000
Keep your butt at the house. So I don't know.

980
01:00:46.079 --> 01:00:51.800
I mean, I've had some pretty weird experiences, you know.

981
01:00:52.199 --> 01:00:56.159
I had another experience not too far from the house.

982
01:00:56.480 --> 01:00:59.480
There's a spot that I go fish at across the

983
01:00:59.519 --> 01:01:03.199
highway and I pull in and there's one car in

984
01:01:03.199 --> 01:01:08.719
the parking lot. Didn't see anybody in the car.

985
01:01:09.320 --> 01:01:10.000
I get out.

986
01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:12.840
I have my nine millimeter with me. I put my

987
01:01:12.920 --> 01:01:15.519
nine millimeter on my side. Like I said, I go armed.

988
01:01:17.079 --> 01:01:19.880
As I shut the truck door, I hear that voice

989
01:01:19.920 --> 01:01:23.039
in my head go if he gets out of that car,

990
01:01:23.199 --> 01:01:27.559
you need to leave, you know. I look around, I'm like,

991
01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:31.480
what guy, And I look back at that car. I

992
01:01:31.519 --> 01:01:36.519
don't see anybody, and I'm like, man, that is so weird.

993
01:01:38.000 --> 01:01:39.920
But when you go down this bank, it kind of

994
01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:43.800
curves and then opens up at the lake, and if

995
01:01:43.800 --> 01:01:45.880
you go out about seventy five yards, there's a little

996
01:01:45.880 --> 01:01:48.360
goat path that just goes straight up. And people hardly

997
01:01:48.360 --> 01:01:51.960
ever use that one because it's just straight up. So

998
01:01:52.000 --> 01:01:54.199
i get to the bottom of the hill and I'm okay,

999
01:01:54.239 --> 01:01:56.559
I'm gonna try to figure out what's going on here.

1000
01:01:57.159 --> 01:02:01.000
I hear a car door shut, and I'm a holy crap,

1001
01:02:01.079 --> 01:02:04.679
there was somebody in that car. And then I see

1002
01:02:04.760 --> 01:02:08.360
him coming. There's some big boulders there. They're gapped about

1003
01:02:08.360 --> 01:02:11.719
three feet apart to keep people from getting down in there.

1004
01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:15.079
I see this guy going between boulders and boulder headed

1005
01:02:15.119 --> 01:02:19.400
toward the walking path. So I'm like, okay, So I

1006
01:02:19.480 --> 01:02:22.639
go out the bottom, I hit the goat path as

1007
01:02:22.679 --> 01:02:25.400
he goes down the trail over here. I go up

1008
01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:29.360
the trail over here. I get to my truck and

1009
01:02:29.480 --> 01:02:32.480
I got a lock unlocked button. Right, I do the

1010
01:02:32.519 --> 01:02:36.159
typical white girl and the horror movie thing. I'm looking

1011
01:02:36.239 --> 01:02:38.840
that way. I hit the lock button, which makes the

1012
01:02:38.880 --> 01:02:39.440
horn blow.

1013
01:02:41.599 --> 01:02:45.320
Holy crap. But this whole I've got.

1014
01:02:45.159 --> 01:02:48.039
A gun, this whole Tom, I don't know why I'm

1015
01:02:48.079 --> 01:02:52.039
so afraid. And I get in the truck. I crank

1016
01:02:52.079 --> 01:02:54.679
the truck. As I'm pulling out to leave, he's standing

1017
01:02:54.719 --> 01:02:57.519
between the rocks where my truck was, and he's staring

1018
01:02:57.559 --> 01:02:57.800
at me.

1019
01:02:58.519 --> 01:02:59.719
Oh boy.

1020
01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:02.639
And I can't say that there was something wrong with

1021
01:03:02.679 --> 01:03:09.559
this guy. But he did not look natural. And was

1022
01:03:09.639 --> 01:03:11.920
I warned that this guy was a serial killer or

1023
01:03:12.800 --> 01:03:16.199
a demon or possessed or you know, a weirdo. I

1024
01:03:16.239 --> 01:03:21.840
don't know, but you know, like I said, I I

1025
01:03:21.840 --> 01:03:23.559
can't explain it. I'm not going to sit here and

1026
01:03:23.599 --> 01:03:27.360
say it was a divine intervention, you know, or what.

1027
01:03:27.719 --> 01:03:32.239
But I've only had that happen twice in my life

1028
01:03:32.280 --> 01:03:37.039
now that I've heard this voice tell me something. In

1029
01:03:37.079 --> 01:03:43.840
both times, I needed to leave. So and I've had

1030
01:03:43.840 --> 01:03:45.639
people say, well, do you feel like it was God

1031
01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:50.159
talking to you? It doesn't feel like God. You know,

1032
01:03:50.360 --> 01:03:54.199
I'm a Christian. I've been say, you know, God spoke

1033
01:03:54.239 --> 01:03:56.800
to me before I've heard God speak to me this.

1034
01:03:56.800 --> 01:03:57.920
This did not feel divine.

1035
01:03:58.599 --> 01:04:02.199
It was not the Holy Spirit. No, right, just you

1036
01:04:02.239 --> 01:04:03.440
know what that is? Yeah?

1037
01:04:03.519 --> 01:04:09.719
Yeah, so I you know, I don't know, but you know,

1038
01:04:09.840 --> 01:04:13.000
it's it's been a wild It's really been a wild ride.

1039
01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:16.719
I went to the Tennessee wild Man Convention this year.

1040
01:04:16.760 --> 01:04:20.360
I meet so many good people, you know, and they

1041
01:04:20.440 --> 01:04:21.559
just they took me in.

1042
01:04:22.480 --> 01:04:22.679
You know.

1043
01:04:23.880 --> 01:04:26.320
Uh, I say when I'm I'm walking around my cowboy

1044
01:04:26.400 --> 01:04:28.440
hat and my patch best on. Some people think I'm

1045
01:04:28.480 --> 01:04:32.079
a biker or something. All my patches are like movies

1046
01:04:32.199 --> 01:04:34.000
and stuff like that. I'm you know, I'm not a

1047
01:04:34.119 --> 01:04:38.559
I'm not a biker person. But everybody just like, well,

1048
01:04:38.599 --> 01:04:42.079
who are you? I said, Oh, I'm hardly spreading. I'm nobody.

1049
01:04:42.480 --> 01:04:42.679
You know.

1050
01:04:42.679 --> 01:04:45.920
They're like, no, you're somebody, come here, who are you?

1051
01:04:46.079 --> 01:04:47.719
That's awesome every day everybody.

1052
01:04:47.800 --> 01:04:53.039
Darryl Dentton, you know, I'm friends with Darryl nowkay. You know,

1053
01:04:53.320 --> 01:04:58.480
like I met M. K. Davis, Dude, I made a list.

1054
01:04:58.719 --> 01:05:00.400
I literally made a list here. I met so many

1055
01:05:00.400 --> 01:05:00.960
good people.

1056
01:05:01.039 --> 01:05:02.119
But flat Rock.

1057
01:05:02.920 --> 01:05:05.039
Flat Rock talked to me for a long time and

1058
01:05:05.119 --> 01:05:09.119
him compare photos and uh, I've in the past. I've

1059
01:05:09.159 --> 01:05:13.119
met Cliff Brackman, I've met Dave Polid's, I've met Bob

1060
01:05:13.159 --> 01:05:19.280
Gamblin hell Bent Holler, I've met Joe and Jesse and Lord,

1061
01:05:20.320 --> 01:05:24.960
you know all half the people from Woodwalkers and uh Lord,

that through Eli Watson, I mete Eli and n and uh.

1064
01:05:35.880 --> 01:05:36.239
I just.

1065
01:05:38.679 --> 01:05:41.679
For as much as this this whole subject freaks me out,

1066
01:05:43.639 --> 01:05:48.360
I've also got a whole second I don't want to

1067
01:05:48.360 --> 01:05:50.880
say life, but the whole second set of of of

1068
01:05:51.679 --> 01:05:56.239
friends and discussions and some people that are way smarter

1069
01:05:56.400 --> 01:06:03.039
than me. You know, Coombo Kumbo's. I've watched his stuff online.

1070
01:06:03.119 --> 01:06:06.400
And I got to meet Koombo at the convention and

1071
01:06:06.719 --> 01:06:10.400
just such nice people, you know, They're so nice and

1072
01:06:10.400 --> 01:06:14.039
and and they just accepted me and like, no, come on,

1073
01:06:14.199 --> 01:06:16.599
you're you're hanging out with us today, you know. And

1074
01:06:16.599 --> 01:06:19.480
and they didn't know me from melbody and I'm that

1075
01:06:19.559 --> 01:06:22.800
weird tattoo guy with the patch best on, and they

1076
01:06:22.880 --> 01:06:25.880
just accepted me and brought me into their group. And

1077
01:06:26.559 --> 01:06:30.440
I branded a bunch of them on Facebook, and you know,

1078
01:06:32.400 --> 01:06:35.239
I just I just feel differently about that whole aspect

1079
01:06:35.280 --> 01:06:35.599
of it.

1080
01:06:36.400 --> 01:06:39.800
That's great. Yeah, you're definitely you're in the right group

1081
01:06:39.840 --> 01:06:45.599
of people with this. Uh, there is definitely. Yeah, you're

1082
01:06:45.679 --> 01:06:50.320
you're in the right group. I'll say that much. But Robbie,

1083
01:06:50.360 --> 01:06:52.960
thank you so much for coming on, for sharing what

1084
01:06:53.000 --> 01:06:57.440
you've experienced. I know that your your story is definitely

1085
01:06:57.440 --> 01:07:00.599
not done. I mean there's there's going to be other

1086
01:07:00.679 --> 01:07:04.159
stuff that you guys experience. I can guarantee that. But

1087
01:07:04.960 --> 01:07:08.440
you had when you signed up for this, you said

1088
01:07:08.440 --> 01:07:11.079
you are open. If people want to reach out to you,

1089
01:07:11.239 --> 01:07:13.840
they can find you on Facebook, is that right?

1090
01:07:14.320 --> 01:07:17.639
Facebook? They can message me on Messenger. You know, I've

1091
01:07:17.679 --> 01:07:21.480
set it on Harley's page. Not everybody has somebody to

1092
01:07:21.519 --> 01:07:25.599
talk to, you know, and not everybody's comfortable with with

1093
01:07:25.840 --> 01:07:29.760
a public forum. And I'm fine with that if I

1094
01:07:29.800 --> 01:07:32.039
can help one person. That's one of the reasons I

1095
01:07:33.280 --> 01:07:36.199
you know, Harley's like, just tell the truth, Robbie. You

1096
01:07:36.239 --> 01:07:41.239
know your it's your truth, and maybe somebody else out

1097
01:07:41.239 --> 01:07:44.679
there needs to hear your truth because they've had an

1098
01:07:44.719 --> 01:07:47.079
experience and then they don't know what to do with it.

1099
01:07:48.920 --> 01:07:51.199
I had a lady from California message me and she

1100
01:07:51.280 --> 01:07:52.880
had had a mind speak experience.

1101
01:07:54.519 --> 01:07:54.760
You know.

1102
01:07:54.880 --> 01:08:02.960
So this I know, I chatty and I'm a talkative person,

1103
01:08:03.320 --> 01:08:07.840
but speaking about the mind speak thing is very difficult

1104
01:08:07.840 --> 01:08:10.639
for me because I know I'm going to be judged

1105
01:08:10.679 --> 01:08:11.039
for it.

1106
01:08:12.039 --> 01:08:12.280
You know.

1107
01:08:13.639 --> 01:08:15.840
I have told some people in the past, and before

1108
01:08:15.880 --> 01:08:17.840
I was even out of earshot, I heard them start.

1109
01:08:17.720 --> 01:08:18.279
Laughing at me.

1110
01:08:19.720 --> 01:08:22.239
Oh, I say, yeah.

1111
01:08:23.000 --> 01:08:24.680
You know what I mean. I got to skin.

1112
01:08:25.319 --> 01:08:27.880
I'm still a human. It's still hurt a little bit,

1113
01:08:28.239 --> 01:08:32.079
you know. But since I came out with my stories,

1114
01:08:32.119 --> 01:08:35.600
and since i've I've been sharing my experiences, I've had

1115
01:08:35.640 --> 01:08:37.800
so many people come up to me that would have

1116
01:08:37.920 --> 01:08:43.800
never told anybody. I've had several preachers come up to

1117
01:08:43.840 --> 01:08:46.000
me and tell me about stuff that's happened to them,

1118
01:08:46.680 --> 01:08:49.399
and they don't feel comfortable with telling anybody else because

1119
01:08:49.439 --> 01:08:52.199
they don't want people thinking poorly or weird of them.

1120
01:08:52.560 --> 01:08:53.000
Wow.

1121
01:08:53.920 --> 01:08:55.119
I had a guy resent.

1122
01:08:56.039 --> 01:09:00.760
He watched a bigfoot hurdle a five foot fence from

1123
01:09:00.800 --> 01:09:04.319
his front porch. He said, I strung that fence that

1124
01:09:04.479 --> 01:09:06.840
was a five strand bob Ware fence, and he said

1125
01:09:06.840 --> 01:09:10.079
it went over it like it was nothing. He was

1126
01:09:10.119 --> 01:09:12.439
fishing out a pond, and one came out of the

1127
01:09:12.439 --> 01:09:16.479
woods and was pushing small trees over and making a

1128
01:09:16.560 --> 01:09:19.319
racket and scared the living life out of them. They

1129
01:09:19.399 --> 01:09:23.600
dropped their fishing gear and ran for their lives. Their's

1130
01:09:23.720 --> 01:09:26.640
story after story. I could stand here for another hour

1131
01:09:26.840 --> 01:09:30.039
just telling you stories that people have told me, or

1132
01:09:30.199 --> 01:09:34.600
stories that you know people have have shared on other

1133
01:09:34.680 --> 01:09:40.239
podcasts from this area. You know, multiple stories within a

1134
01:09:40.279 --> 01:09:41.960
five mile area of my house.

1135
01:09:42.640 --> 01:09:46.640
I would recommend to start writing all that down, the

1136
01:09:46.720 --> 01:09:51.800
stuff that is being told to you specifically, because that's

1137
01:09:51.840 --> 01:09:55.359
going to become very important in the future. And it's yeah,

1138
01:09:55.479 --> 01:09:58.840
that's that's awesome that you're becoming one of the guys

1139
01:09:58.880 --> 01:10:01.920
that people are talking to. But definitely make sure it's

1140
01:10:01.960 --> 01:10:06.520
documented outside of of just up in your head. Yeah,

1141
01:10:06.600 --> 01:10:09.239
Robbie has been. It has been awesome to talk to you.

1142
01:10:10.319 --> 01:10:12.760
I feel like we could probably have another great conversation

1143
01:10:13.119 --> 01:10:18.079
one day, and I hope we do. Hopefully our our

1144
01:10:18.119 --> 01:10:21.399
past cross somehow. But thank you so much for coming on,

1145

Thank you. I do appreciate it. We'll keep in touch man,

1156
01:11:00.039 --> 01:11:05.159
all right, Before we wrap this episode, I want to

1157
01:11:05.159 --> 01:11:08.439
say something directly to a very specific group of listeners.

1158
01:11:08.680 --> 01:11:12.399
If you're in the military, any branch or forces, and

1159
01:11:12.439 --> 01:11:15.399
if you've seen something that no one can explain, or

1160
01:11:15.399 --> 01:11:18.479
if you're a National park ranger or forestry worker who's

1161
01:11:18.520 --> 01:11:21.359
been told to stay quiet, or if you're a pilot

1162
01:11:21.399 --> 01:11:24.920
who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if

1163
01:11:24.960 --> 01:11:28.520
you're with the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence

1164
01:11:28.720 --> 01:11:31.760
and you've stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about.

1165
01:11:32.039 --> 01:11:34.960
And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue

1166
01:11:35.000 --> 01:11:38.880
responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense,

1167
01:11:39.399 --> 01:11:43.239
if you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field,

1168
01:11:43.399 --> 01:11:46.399
or a trucker with government contracts and you've had something

1169
01:11:46.520 --> 01:11:49.920
happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're

1170
01:11:49.920 --> 01:11:53.800
a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under

1171
01:11:53.840 --> 01:11:57.199
contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.

1172
01:11:57.720 --> 01:12:00.239
If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a

1173
01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:03.720
spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith,

1174
01:12:04.399 --> 01:12:07.520
or if you work in the shadows CIA, NSA or

1175
01:12:07.560 --> 01:12:10.920
anything with clearance, and you've seen what the public hasn't,

1176
01:12:12.279 --> 01:12:15.760
then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.

1179
01:12:23.960 --> 01:12:29.880
carry alone, and you're not alone. You've got the story,
