00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:24.920
All right, three, two one, we're recording everybody. How's it going.

2
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.519
I think I've got victim number seven
or eight on the phone. When

3
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:34.039
I say victim, it's my interview
victim, because I kind of feel sorry

4
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:36.920
for him. They have to sit
here and talk to me and be recorded

5
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:41.479
and listen to my stupid questions.
But I have Janelle on the line.

6
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.960
Janelle, how are you. I'm
doing great, Thank you, well,

7
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:52.840
You're welcome. Janelle sent me an
email within the last week or two and

8
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.799
I read through it and I thought
I could tell right off the bat she

9
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:02.079
had some exceptional stories to share with
all of us, and I knew she'd

10
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:07.879
be a great guest to do as
a recording. So Janelle has several years

11
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.120
of experiences with these creatures. Janelle, do you would you like to just

12
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.680
start at the beginning how you kind
of got how this kind of came to

13
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.640
light, and how you got into
this. Just tell us, tell us

14
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.280
whatever you want to tell us,
Go right ahead. Okay, Well,

15
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.280
I moved. I've rented this farmhouse. I had just come up from Florida

16
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:33.159
and I rented this farmhouse out in
the middle of two hundred acres about fifteen

17
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:37.920
miles outside of a small town in
Virginia. After I'd been there while,

18
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:42.159
I decided to buy the house,
and I was buying it from the farmer

19
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.319
who owned the land. After I
had been oh, I guess a while

20
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.959
into it, he decided he wanted
the house back for his daughter, and

21
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:56.280
I had already done so much to
the house I wasn't about to just let

22
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.480
him have it back. So he
did a few mean things to try to

23
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:06.560
get me to leave, and I
just wasn't going to have it, so

24
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:14.360
I ignored him. I started having
these experiences with what I thought were people

25
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:19.280
if he'd hired from his place where
he worked, his lumber place to try

26
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.439
to scare me in the middle of
the night to try to get me to

27
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:27.240
leave, and so that's what I
thought it was. Well, it started

28
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.879
out I moved in this place.
My furniture wasn't there yet. I had

29
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:36.280
two little dogs, little shitsus,
and we were sleeping in the living room

30
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.919
on the floor waiting for the furniture
to get there. And the first night,

31
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:46.199
this woman screamed from down in the
woods way back behind the house.

32
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:51.800
And there was nothing back there but
woods that went on for miles, and

33
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.719
it was a blood curdling scream,
like she was being like her arms and

34
00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:00.680
legs are being torn off of her, and she screamed, Oh, I

35
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:02.840
don't know. It seemed like forever. It was probably five minutes, or

36
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.960
maybe it looked less, and I
didn't know whether it called the police or

37
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.639
what to do. But at the
time, they hadn't even stalled the phone

38
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:15.840
yet, so I couldn't call anybody, so I let that go by.

39
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:23.879
Several nights later, some huge animals
were fighting in the circular driveway that went

40
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.840
by the side of the house,
and they were huge. They were snarling

41
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:35.599
and growling, and you could hear
them hitting each other, and they were

42
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:42.280
sort of angrily talking some kind of
gibberish, but you know, in anger,

43
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:46.159
and they were snarling and growling,
and oh, it was horrible.

44
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:52.560
It was horrible. I was truly
terrified. But the dogs never reacted,

45
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:57.719
which I thought was real strange.
So that lasted a while and that stopped,

46
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.840
so I kept telling myself it was
some kind of great, big cat

47
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:05.520
or something fighting, and I knew
it was bigger than any kind of cat

48
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.719
that lived in that area, but
I thought, that's what I'm going to

49
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:15.520
have to think so it went on, and then at night, at ten

50
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.439
o'clock at night, I'd take the
little dogs out, and there was a

51
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.800
farm light out at the entrance to
the driveway, and I was nine tenths

52
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:27.639
of a mile way back in the
woods from the road, main road,

53
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.519
and i'd walk out into this farm
light and wait for little dogs to do

54
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.680
what they had to do before we
went to bed. And the farmer there

55
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:40.279
was pasture up in front of the
house on that side, woods around the

56
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:45.360
other three sides, and there was
a barn way up there, halfway up

57
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.360
up the distance to the highway where
he kept his big, heavy equipment.

58
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:56.959
And something was up there that would
stop down into the pasture, making these

59
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:04.160
horrible girls sounds and some kind of
gibberish and so forth, and occasional growl,

60
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:09.160
and they would stop. There was
several of them, and they'd just

61
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:13.959
all stomp out there at one time, obviously trying to stear me. So

62
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.560
I just stood my ground. I
couldn't see him because they were well outside

63
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.800
the range of that farm light.
And so finally eventually I had that farm

64
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:27.079
light turned off because I thought it
was could attract more trouble than it was

65
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.160
protecting me from and I just had
it dark because I didn't want anybody seeing

66
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:34.439
the farm light from the road.
So I would then turn on the one

67
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:41.040
little porch light and stan out there
with them that way, and then the

68
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:47.199
charging stopped. Then let's see then
by then my head furniture and I moved

69
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:51.439
to the upstairs bedroom. At night, I was these things. Something would

70
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:57.600
come under the window, be talking
and some kind of gibberish. I thought

71
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:01.000
that these were people that he had
hired try to scare me, so idiot

72
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:05.800
that I was. I'd opened the
window and I talked back to and I'd

73
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:10.680
say, hey, you know you've
done your job. Get paid. You're

74
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.600
not scaring me. I know you're
down there. You can go home.

75
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:18.439
You've done a good job. Tell
him you did it, and you know,

76
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:23.879
then I'd go to bed. Well, I noticed that it woke me

77
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:29.160
up. As a matter of fact, a couple of nights there were songbirds

78
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:34.360
chirping around two am, and a
lot of them. And this group of

79
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:43.000
songbirds would move from my front yard
slowly like the speed people would walk down

80
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:48.680
into the pasture and down a farm
roads through the pasture down into the backwoods,

81
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:54.160
chirping all the time. I knew
it wasn't possible, but that's what

82
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.399
I heard. The other thing was
when I first moved into the house and

83
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.720
i'd go outside, sort of poking
around the yard and checking little outbuildings and

84
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.040
stuff. Every time in the middle
of the day, every time i'd go

85
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:10.519
outside, owls would hoot, you
know, like big horned owls, big

86
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:15.600
owls, And they would first hoot
right up next to the yard, right

87
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.639
there in the edge of the woods, and you'd hear them continue to loot

88
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.600
down that hill that went down to
the creek, and then way up to

89
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:27.439
the west where that creek branch went, and they'd still they'd be hooting at

90
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.639
a distance, and I thought,
again, I thought, they must be

91
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.439
still down there, and these guys
are watching me to make sure that I'm

92
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:39.439
not going to be interested in walking
that creek. So I thought it was

93
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.439
people again. But every time I
came out, because obviously they were signaling

94
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.680
to each other. I mean,
this was clear and obvious. And this

95
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:51.000
went on for weeks and weeks.
So that was another thing, the owls.

96
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:57.560
Then, let's see, trying to
think when these things were under my

97
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:01.399
window at night, apparently they were
all so sleeping in the yard because under

98
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:07.720
the little dogwood tree out front,
the grass was mashed down in the shape

99
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:13.720
of a huge animal in a fetal
position, and I kept looking at that.

100
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.959
I'd go out there and look at
that. Then I'd take the mower,

101
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.399
I'd mow. I'd mow it a
high thing, but it would fluff

102
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.560
the grass up, and I cut
tall because I wanted to defeat it again.

103
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.879
Sure enough, there it was again, and it had nothing, no

104
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.080
shape like a deer or anything like
that, because it was like a masket

105
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:39.399
ball, huge and it was just
mash the grasses, mashes, plastic.

106
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:45.039
So that happened a lot. But
they but they came every night in some

107
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.279
form or another. They were It
was constant. I built a big deck

108
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.399
on the back of the house.
On the house was in a shape or

109
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.639
facing in an odd direction, so
my front door was actually off the side

110
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.440
the real front door, and all
along the other side. There were no

111
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:09.360
lights because the electric had to be
replaced, and so the three areas where

112
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:13.639
the woods were you couldn't see anything. There was no light to see.

113
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:18.000
So this is where they had most
of their activity. And then one night

114
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.799
I had dinner in a friend's house
and I came home after dark. Well,

115
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:26.440
I had chickens side in and they
were in a pin with a six

116
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.840
foot fence around it, and they
could get into the coop and roost,

117
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:35.759
but I had to close the door
of the coop and so I couldn't see

118
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.960
back there. So I drove the
truck up into the front yard, pointing

119
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.720
in the direction of the coop,
and put the high beams on so I

120
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.000
could see to walk down there and
close the door. Well, as I

121
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.559
was walking down there, on the
right hand side of me, just outside

122
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:56.519
the car light area, I saw
two huge yellow eyes staring at me from

123
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:03.519
a height of about eight feet,
higher than any ceiling being could be,

124
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:09.320
and higher than a large deer or
any other animal that I knew of could

125
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.960
be. The eyes were large and
they were glowing yellow. I managed to

126
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.600
block out the fear. I kept
on going and I closed the chicken coop,

127
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:22.200
but close the egg came back.
I did not look over on that

128
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.279
side again. I slowly walked back
the truck, got in it, backed

129
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.120
up, and put it back in
the driveway. That was Oh, and

130
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:37.360
while I was doing that, this
huge elk or not elk buck goes flying

131
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.120
along the edge When I was backing
up and the lights were shining on the

132
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:48.320
wood. This buck went flying down
the edge of the wood with its eyes

133
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:54.240
looking wild like it was scared of
something. So I couldn't help but think

134
00:10:54.320 --> 00:11:01.200
that whatever had the big yellow eyes
was scaring that that animal. So that

135
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.720
was that was a scary thing right
there. But I've learned, I don't

136
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.559
know. I know better than to
run. I know better than to act

137
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.320
scared, because as soon as you
do, you've lost, You've lost.

138
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.279
Yeah, I agree with that.
I agree with you. Yeah, you

139
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.600
just have to act like you know
whatever. It is an everyday occurrence.

140
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:26.840
Then this farmer had cattle, and
quite quite a large heart of cattle.

141
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.720
And I had also had cattle when
I had my own farm, and my

142
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:37.519
cattle were totally quiet, occasionally to
hear a move not oft his cattle all

143
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:45.279
night long, mooing, mooing all
night long. You tould barely sleep because

144
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:50.600
of it. Every night they just
kept on and on. Now they had

145
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.720
to go down to that creek to
get water. That's where they got through

146
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.679
water. They had to go through
the woods and down the creek from the

147
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.240
past they rank, So something was
disturbing them, or one time I saw

148
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:07.600
him dragging two oh probably six hundred
pound calves that were dead. He was

149
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:13.480
dragging them down across that pasture into
the woods where there was a trail that

150
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:18.679
went down into the wood. By
law, you have to bury dead livestock,

151
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.519
but he wasn't doing it. He
was dragging them. So after he

152
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:28.279
finished all that, I decided to
take a walk down and see where he

153
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.120
took them. Well, he took
them as far as the path would go,

154
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.639
and there they were at the end
of the path. Well, knowing

155
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:39.759
what was going on, there was
some huge animal or group of animals around

156
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.320
there. Not knowing precisely what they
were, at that point, I thought

157
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.440
I'd go down there and look.
The next day they were gone, completely

158
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:52.440
gone, not just eating into Yeah, they had disappeared, and they were

159
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.159
huge and bloated, and you know, I mean these were big calves,

160
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:01.559
big calves. So I don't know
what them, you know, but they

161
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.559
were dead. And I know that
he was missing some young calves, newborn

162
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.960
calves, completely missing them. So
I don't know where they went, but

163
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:16.600
I had a feeling. So anyway, then another thing, they stopped charging

164
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.480
me and so forth. But when
I take the dogs out they'd stand there

165
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.600
in the driveway facing the dark part
of the yard wagging their tails. They

166
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:31.000
saw something that they were wagging their
tails scared, call them and go back

167
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.799
in. And the other thing was
when I built that deck was a huge

168
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.480
deck, but because the little dogs, I had a gate put on the

169
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.320
steps that went down, and I
kept the gate closed all the time,

170
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.480
and it had a little lock on
it. Well, at night, something

171
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:52.519
big with very heavy footsteps would get
on that deck and walk around. Well,

172
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.799
I was beginning to think I knew
what it was. And so I

173
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.000
saw this thing in the little Electric
co Op newsletter thing that would become in

174
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:07.639
the mail, and I was plancing
at it and saw the classified section,

175
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:11.799
and in there there was an ad
from a man in northern Virginia who had

176
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.120
said, if you think that you
have big foot, a good big foot,

177
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.399
on your property, let me know. So I called him and I

178
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.360
told him the things I'd been experiencing, and he said, oh, absolutely,

179
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:24.960
that's what it is. He said, may I come down there with

180
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.480
a friend of mine so we can
check the area. So I said,

181
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:33.320
sure, come on. Well,
they came down from Washington. They went

182
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:39.360
down and searched along the creek and
found tps and nests and all sorts of

183
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.559
things like that, and lots of
them. So they came back up.

184
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:45.240
Tell me, well, they came
down a number of times and brought some

185
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:50.399
other people, and they all kept
looking around, and finally they brought cameras,

186
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.759
you know, ga game cameras and
things like that, and set them

187
00:14:54.799 --> 00:15:00.519
up everywhere. And they put like
a television screen in my room up stairs

188
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.440
connected to these cameras, so I
could switch channels and see what was going

189
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.360
on with it with cameras. Well, I was by myself, and I

190
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.399
something about that just scared me.
So I never watched that screen because I

191
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:16.519
thought, you know what, if
I see something I don't want, I

192
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.200
don't want to see it. It's
bad enough to hear it. I think

193
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.600
I would be the same way.
Yeah, it's something about you know,

194
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.000
you can hear it, you know
what's out there, but I don't want

195
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:31.120
to see its face. I just
told to see it, because then then

196
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.360
I'll have to be scared. But
then he never got any live pictures,

197
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:41.720
but he did get some strange looking
geometric shape that were very strange looking.

198
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:48.360
They were like all kinds of geometric
boxes. I never understood what that was.

199
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.399
He shared his evidence with you.
Oh yeah, okay, And he

200
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:58.080
had a van that was completely outfitted
with everything you can imagine, night vision,

201
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.639
this, that, the other.
He was ready. He was a

202
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:07.000
ghostbuster, running like he was.
He was a big footbuster, and it

203
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.639
was fascinating. I mean, he
had so much equipment in there, and

204
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:17.519
oh just it was amazing. But
so the last time he and another fellow

205
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:22.759
were down there was this a Sunday
afternoon, and they searched around, found

206
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.919
nest and all the things, and
then they were leaving about five o'clock and

207
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.360
as they were going out the driveway, I thought, oh good, I

208
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:33.799
was the time I walked the little
dog up the road and I then only

209
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.960
had one little dog, And so
we started walking up there and back in

210
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:42.120
the woods, this animal was having
an anger fit, jumping up and down,

211
00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:47.519
screaming, hitting the side of the
tree with a limb or something,

212
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.039
another piece of wood, just banging
a life out of the tree, jumping

213
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.320
up and Danny could hear it jumping
up and down and hitting the ground and

214
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:59.879
hitting the leaves and screaming and having
a fit. Well I knew in the

215
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.319
imediately it was angry because those guys
had been down in there in this area.

216
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.200
So the dog and I turned around
and went back in the house.

217
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.559
That night, whatever it was came
up to the side to the house and

218
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.279
I had a little office off the
kitchen, and I was sitting in there

219
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:21.839
and this thing came and hit the
side of the wall so hard that I

220
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:26.240
almost thought I could could see the
outline of its arms. Why I didn't

221
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.599
come through that wall, I guess
because of this old oak, probably the

222
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.880
only reason it didn't. So I
call that guy. He had just gotten

223
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.319
back up to Washington, and I
called him and told him what happened.

224
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:40.440
He so, oh, yeah,
he said, that's typically behavior when they're

225
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:47.319
angry. Then another interesting thing was
when well I saw one that was I

226
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:52.160
guess one of the main things this
was earlier I had taken the dogs for

227
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.160
a walk. And this is strange
because every every night I'd let the chickens

228
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:00.039
out about an hour before roosting time
so they could run and eat bugs and

229
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:04.960
stuff and not cheer up my landscaping. They wouldn't have time to And I

230
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:10.960
had some geese. I had eight
white geese, and I at that time

231
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.079
I had a goat. Well,
everybody wanted to go for a walk,

232
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.680
so we will go up the road. I'd had two dogs, eight these

233
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.640
twenty four chickens. Oh, and
I had a guinea who just happened to

234
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:27.400
show up one day and stayed.
And the goat and everybody loose. We'd

235
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:32.240
all go for a walk up the
road and cut over to where that man

236
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:36.240
had his buildings and then come back. And they also had blueberry bushes.

237
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:38.759
And then we'd come back down the
side of the wood. And I was

238
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:44.079
calling to the little male shit too, because he was lagging behind. I

239
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:47.519
get saying, come on, come
on, bandit. And I saw one

240
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.640
of the chickens had come up in
the field normally just stuck around the yard,

241
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:53.759
and I thought, you know,
that chicken's gonna get eaten by something.

242
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:57.079
So I had my eye on this
chin, and I thought, I'm

243
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.599
going to get down there and shoot
it back to the house. Well,

244
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.960
just as I got close to the
chicken, I see over on my left

245
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:10.880
hand side in the woods, there's
this juvenile big foot watching the chicken.

246
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.079
It heard me coming. It didn't
leave when it heard me coming. It

247
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:21.119
didn't leave until I turned towards it, and then it just turned right around

248
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:26.000
and walked straight back into the wood. That is amazing. What was the

249
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:30.000
distance, Well, I don't I
don't know how to measure distance exactly,

250
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:33.400
but I can tell you this.
I was close enough to it to get

251
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:38.640
a real close look at its hair, and it probably couldn't have been ten

252
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:44.559
or fifteen feet maybe, but it's
it's the hair on its back, and

253
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.000
you know, was in no hurry. You could tell it wasn't afraid of

254
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.039
any of us, not the dogs, not me. How the dogs never

255
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.960
noticed it, none of the other
animals noticed it. But as the hair

256
00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.319
on its back looked exactly like a
German chow for its hair, and it

257
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:04.880
was it was brown, but it
had the same texture and the same length,

258
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:10.279
you know how German she had sort
of coarse hair, and you know

259
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:14.519
the pinks on the dog's back of
the hair, it looked just like that,

260
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.440
the texture exactly. So anyway,
it went on back. We kept

261
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.720
on walking, and that was the
end of that chicken went home. I

262
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.079
wasn't afraid of it at all.
I had no fear of it. It

263
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.319
was small enough where it was obvious
it was a juvenile, so you know,

264
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.960
none of us had any fear and
went on back in the house.

265
00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:37.960
And that's how I really knew that
for sure, that's what I had.

266
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:45.000
But I had two exceptionally frightening things
happened. The first one was when I

267
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.599
first got those chickens and geese,
and they were babies. I had raised

268
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.880
them on the sun porch, and
that day I had taken them out to

269
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.480
their outdoor home for the first time. Came back in, was fixing dinner,

270
00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:00.319
was about six o'clock at night,
and all the sudden there was a

271
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:06.640
roar. And when I say roar, it was like ten lions at one

272
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:12.759
or four sets of cowlungs working in
unison. And this thing roared, a

273
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:19.279
deep, guttural roar that was the
loudest thing coming from a living thing that

274
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:26.480
I've ever heard, and it just
went on and on. It never stopped

275
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.480
to take a breath. I went
flying out the first My first thing was,

276
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.279
oh, my little animals, my
little geese and little chicken. So

277
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:38.039
I go flying around, little dogs
with me outside around the house, back

278
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:41.200
to where the animals were in the
little house I put them in. And

279
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.079
when I got out there, that
thing was still going and the dogs,

280
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:51.799
the geese, and the chicken all
were standing dead still in the facing in

281
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:56.319
the direction of that sound. Nothing
moved. It was like they were caught

282
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.440
in a time war. It was. And you know, you can't keep

283
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.759
it just quiet. I mean,
they just get all the time. And

284
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:08.720
they were dead silence. The chickens
were dead silent, and they just nothing

285
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:15.440
moved. None of them moved at
all. And that thing finally wore down,

286
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.400
and that was and stopped. Holy
ken well, idiot that I am.

287
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:23.799
I went flying back of the house, got the old rifle, went

288
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:29.880
and jumps in the truck and went
after the thing. I went down the

289
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:33.480
fire lane in the woods. I
never saw it. Why I thought that

290
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.920
I could ever with a rifle do
anything against something that made a noise like

291
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:42.599
that. I don't know what it
was with me. It was stupid.

292
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:48.319
Were you after on foot? Well? No, I ran and got in

293
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:51.920
the truck. I got the rifle
and got in the truck and I drove

294
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:56.440
the truck after it. Yeah,
And by then it was it was dusk.

295
00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:59.920
I had to turn the lights on
the truck and the high beams,

296
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.359
and I backed up and went forward, and backed up and went forward.

297
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:07.799
I looked in every direction, couldn't
find any sign of anything. And then

298
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:10.680
I went home and realized how stupid
I was to have done that in the

299
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:12.759
first place. I don't know why, I have no fear like that.

300
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:18.680
You're brave, You're just brave.
I don't know. I think it couldn't

301
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:25.079
border more on stupid something like that. But now tell you the thing that

302
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:30.640
scared me enough to make me want
to leave. I was upstairs one night,

303
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:36.559
sitting cross leg on the bed,
watching Pride and Prejudice or some such

304
00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:41.359
things, and I had had this
rose, this climbing rose. It went

305
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:48.279
from these had grown as these massive
trunks intertwined, and the rose went up

306
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.160
to the second story and went through
the back of the stone chimney. You

307
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.559
know, there's a space up at
the top between the house and the chimney,

308
00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.759
and had gone had grown up to
the window through that thing, and

309
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:04.000
was hanging back down on the other
side of the chimney, huge road climbing

310
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:08.599
rose, and the trunks from the
thing were huge down at the ground.

311
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:14.640
And I'm sitting there, and they
had been jabbering in the front, you

312
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.279
know, on the other out the
other window. I hadn't you know,

313
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:19.799
by then, I just took it
for granted and all of a sudden,

314
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:26.960
something hits that the side of the
wall with its feet climbing up that rosebush.

315
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:32.359
Thorns and all, I mean that
thing had thorns on it, a

316
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:37.559
good half inch long, these big
thick thorns all the way up that huge

317
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.359
trunk of that thing. And this
thing you could hear it pulling itself up

318
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:45.759
by it. And when it first
jumped on the rosebush, its feet hit

319
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:49.839
the wall. It was hanging onto
the rosebush with hands, and then it

320
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:55.880
started climbing that rose thing, and
you could you could hear the rose pulling

321
00:24:55.960 --> 00:25:00.839
out of the between the you know, behind the chimney because of the weight

322
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:04.799
of whatever it was. Well,
instantaneously I run over there and slammed the

323
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:08.359
window down. The blind was already
down, but the window was open,

324
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:12.519
and I just reached under there and
slammed that window down and locked it and

325
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:17.160
then turned the lights and everything off. It's oh, let me tell you

326
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:22.200
when that happened. They apparently there
was some little animal, a squirrel or

327
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:26.319
something up in the attic that I
didn't know was there. Well, whatever

328
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.759
this thing was scared that little animal
so bad. That little thing ran back

329
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:36.839
and forth and back and forth,
and you could hear it bouncing off wood,

330
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:41.000
and it was I think it ran
itself to death. Literally, I

331
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.160
think it just it was so terrified. It just kept running and running back

332
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:48.240
and forth, back and forth.
And I thought that was the oddest thing

333
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:51.799
I had ever heard. Let me
ask you, Oh, was it a

334
00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:56.920
trellis supporting this rosebush? Or I
can't imagine a rosebush something? Yeah,

335
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:00.119
it was. It was. I'm
never forget it was a yellow rose.

336
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.559
I had planted it right when I
first moved in. And the thing had

337
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:08.759
trunks that had multiple trunks that were
twisted around each other. And I would

338
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:14.119
say some of those trunks were probably
close to two inches thick. Oh,

339
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:17.200
I didn't know they got that big. Okay, yeah, you know some

340
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:21.920
of them, dude. It was
an old fashioned rose, a rambling rose.

341
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:27.119
It was yellow. I remember it
quite well. Yeah. In fact,

342
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:30.240
I have pictures of that side of
the house and I have looked at

343
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:37.000
that rose in those pictures thinking about
when that happened. Wow, that is

344
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:41.359
terrifying. Well, and think of
anything that would grab you know, an

345
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:47.160
old an old fashioned rose has many
more thorns than these hybrid things too,

346
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:53.119
and it grabbed them with its hands
and it and it had to use its

347
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:59.039
feet too on those thorns. I
just don't know how any living thing could

348
00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:02.000
stand that. I don't know.
I've always wondered. You know, rabbits

349
00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:04.920
live in briars, and that's kind
of how they protect. That's their security

350
00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:11.720
blanket, so to speak. And
so some animals have a way to you

351
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.920
know, I don't keep from getting
stuck or whatever. I can't imagine something

352
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:19.160
with arms and legs reaching up grabbing
the trunk of a rosebush with half inch

353
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:22.839
thorns on it. You know,
you got to grip it. Now,

354
00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:26.319
from the time from the time you
started with your first I don't what would

355
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:30.200
you say evidence of something going on
until where you are now? Are you

356
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:34.640
talking about a few months or a
couple of years? You know that was

357
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:42.359
in nineteen That started about nineteen ninety
five and went on for six years after

358
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:45.880
that. Okay. The reason I
know the six years because I was on

359
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:49.559
a ten year contract buying that house
and I sold it back to them after

360
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:53.559
six years. Okay, Yeah,
that's that's what it is. My little

361
00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:59.559
frame of reference on time I went
back to Florida. These encounters are just

362
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:02.759
period article. I mean, they're
not they're not it's not just going on

363
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:06.440
all the time. Now, this
was going on all the time that they

364
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:11.240
were out there all the time.
Now, now there were a few months

365
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:15.000
from the winter I would say,
oh, probably mid December to mid March

366
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:21.480
they were gone completely right, and
they'd come back around mid March and stay

367
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:26.160
there until. You know. And
one time, the reason I knew there

368
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.039
were juveniles other than seeing that one, was because one got apparently lost from

369
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.440
his parents. There were these big
ravines that would go down in different parts

370
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.559
of the woods. And one night
when I took little dogs out, this

371
00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:42.720
young one was just screaming. It
was it was you could tell it wanted

372
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:48.920
its parents and that it was lost, and it was screaming for its parents.

373
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:52.680
And I mean, it was just
it was just so obvious because they

374
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.880
had their voice. Oh. But
one of the interesting things is one of

375
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:02.319
the anthropologists out in Washington who I
talked to, he says that this was

376
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:07.279
very common, which surprised me.
But one night I was calling a little

377
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.279
female dog muffin. This thing was
over in another set of barns, on

378
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:17.279
the other side of another pastor,
and it was trying to say words muffin,

379
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:19.160
And it was just and it did
a good job, and it was

380
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:25.440
in that deep It was apparently a
big adult, and it had that guttural,

381
00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:30.920
real deep guttural voice, and it
kept saying, Muffin, muffin,

382
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:36.359
you're kidding me. It was mimicking
you calling your dog. Yeah. Yeah,

383
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:41.039
And this doctor I can't remember his
name now, but he was an

384
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:47.680
anthropologist at some university up around Seattle. But anyway, he was telling me

385
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:52.279
that is very common that they've had
many reports to that. Yeah, I've

386
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.519
heard. I have a friend of
mine who I'm actually including a lot of

387
00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:00.839
his stories in a book i'm pulling
together. But his grandmo when they were

388
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:03.880
kids. They grew up here in
Mississippi, and when they were kids,

389
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:07.160
his grandmother would call them in for
supper. She'd holler out their names and

390
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:11.359
you know, you who or whatever
grandma's do. And so the kids got

391
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.960
used to this, and then ever
once in a while they'd hear it and

392
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:18.079
they'd come in and be all ready
to eat, and she'd go, I

393
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:21.680
didn't call y'all in here. They
said, well, yeah you did,

394
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:26.079
and that he's this guy's positive it
was the bigfoot mimicking their grandmother. I

395
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.240
just think that is so amazing.
I think it could be. I really

396
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:33.680
think it could be. He said. It sounded just like her, just

397
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:37.519
like her. Well, I just
didn't mind, didn't But I mean you

398
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:42.279
could you could hear the word pronounced
yeah. Now, if they can copy

399
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:47.440
birds and things like that, I
don't see why they couldn't copy her.

400
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:51.480
They've got to have a very complex
set of vocal cords to do it.

401
00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:56.000
In a brain that's able to make
those vocal cords. Do you know,

402
00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:00.720
their tongue and their mouth and everything
has to form almost like a humans does,

403
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:06.119
because we're the only animals on the
planet that speak in a language to

404
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:11.880
each other. Well, I think
that they have their own language. I

405
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:18.319
think that they definitely communicate with that
gobbledee group. They talk, and they

406
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:23.799
talk a lot, They talk an
awful lot. But let they tell you

407
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:29.480
one of the funniest things. It
was the next night after this thing screamed

408
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:33.160
at the edge of the woods,
Apparently it went over the highway, across

409
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:37.799
the highway and down the hill to
another old farm back there that this couple

410
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:42.880
from Norfolk, Virginia had just inherited
and a friend of mine was caretaking it

411
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:47.839
for them, and so they were
coming in on a Friday night after work

412
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.440
the weekend there, and he met
them and they all went in the house

413
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:55.519
and it fixed a drink so they
didn't have a drink, and all of

414
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:59.640
a sudden, this things started the
same roar down there that it had at

415
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:05.759
my house the night before. It
scared those people so bad they got their

416
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:08.799
suitcases. They put them back in
the car and they told them, they

417
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:15.960
said, we will never stay where
that thing is. We will never be

418
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:20.920
back, oh bet. And they
never came back. They sold the place.

419
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:22.640
Wow, they sold it. They
never came back to sell it either,

420
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:28.839
but it steered them that bad way. I know this. I'm going

421
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:31.519
way back to the beginning of the
conversation. But did you tell the audiainst

422
00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:36.279
where all this is happening or did
you decide not to h it was?

423
00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:44.240
It's Virginia, Yeah, southern Virginia. Okay, Well, I think that

424
00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:47.920
what if you if you ever go
to Google Earth and you look at the

425
00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:52.119
land and where the woods are.
I think these woods come all the way

426
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:59.799
down from up and around the Skyline
Drive area, and they're not broken to

427
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:04.480
many times, so there's sort of
an area where they can just sort of

428
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:07.559
walk on forever. I think that's
what they do. I think that,

429
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:12.240
you know, they have plenty of
the area to go. I don't know

430
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:15.799
where they go in the wintertime,
but they've they've got somewhere where they go,

431
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:19.680
probably close to the east coast,
because I know from the woods that

432
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:22.839
were in the back of that house
on over to where the farm I used

433
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.279
to have was. I mean,
those woods would just go on forever.

434
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:30.880
The Lumba companies owned all those woods, and so they you know, nobody

435
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:35.440
ever built in them or anything else. And those woods are pretty permanent.

436
00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:38.720
They just replan them, recut them, replan them, you know, but

437
00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:44.960
they stayed thick. But also too, the that area had a lot of

438
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:50.559
UFO sightings as well. Before you
get into that, I have a question.

439
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:55.960
Were you friendly with your neighbors in
your house there in Virginia. I

440
00:33:57.000 --> 00:34:00.799
didn't really have any neighbors because I
was curious. I was curious if other

441
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:07.559
people around the area. Were you
all talking and comparing notes or anything like

442
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:12.079
that. No, I didn't.
I never mentioned this to the to the

443
00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:15.320
farmer that I was buying the house
from, because I you know, for

444
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:19.159
so long I thought it was him, and then by the time I realized

445
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:23.039
it wasn't him. He was doing
other you know, being really basically ugly,

446
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:25.920
you know, and I really didn't
want to deal with them at all,

447
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:30.719
so I never told them about it. And I didn't really know anybody

448
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:35.159
else there. Yeah, well except
except the fellow who was at that farm

449
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:37.880
across the highway. He knew about
it, so he was familiar with the

450
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:42.719
creatures. He was even. He
was even he was even able to duplicate

451
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.239
the sound. I couldn't. I
mean, because it's a sound that's never

452
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:52.880
heard before. Nothing else is in
my lifetime. I've never heard that same

453
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:58.199
sound. He was able to duplicate
it, which surprised me because I kept

454
00:34:58.199 --> 00:35:00.840
trying to figures I could complicate that
and I couldn't do it, couldn't even

455
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:05.199
come close. So you had one
neighbor you talked too, Yeah, and

456
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:08.639
he wasn't exactly a neighbor. I
mean, everybody lives far away from each

457
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:13.239
other out there. Yeah. Yeah, I knew him, but we never

458
00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:16.039
discussed all this, And you know, I never told about all things were

459
00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:20.400
going on in the house. You
were about to get into some some other

460
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:23.440
things that have been happening. You
want to go to that Okay, yeah,

461
00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:30.159
UFO situation wherever I lived in that
southern area of Virginia. There is

462
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:35.440
a huge uranium deposit close to the
surface of the earth in that area,

463
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:39.280
and it's the biggest in the world. And many of the big companies have

464
00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:44.519
chemical rights and all that kind of
stuff to that land. A lot of

465
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:47.920
people have made a fortune selling a
lot of that land to these big companies.

466
00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:51.960
I always wondered if they didn't have
something to do with the fact that

467
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:58.079
there were so many UFOs spotted around
that area, and some of them went

468
00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:01.880
down the main street of the main
small city. It was reported. I

469
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:06.039
mean, you know, it was
even in the paper. It disappeared from

470
00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:09.239
the newspaper, even from their archives, which was strange. It went right

471
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:14.400
down the length of main street.
One of the ufo. Then one that

472
00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:19.480
was out by my farm several nights
in a road coming back. It also

473
00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:24.440
went over that city where they were
playing a big baseball game, and everybody

474
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:28.599
saw it. It was hanging over
the farm next door to my farm.

475
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:31.000
I called some friends that were pretty
far away, but they were up on

476
00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:36.599
a hill and they could see out
over the woods my way, and I

477
00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:39.559
asked the cls side and look over
here and see what they saw. They

478
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:44.639
saw it too, at this location, at this place, that was a

479
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:50.199
big Foot activity. I was coming
home from twenty miles south of where I

480
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:52.800
lived. I had been visiting somebody, and I was coming home on the

481
00:36:52.840 --> 00:37:00.480
back road and I saw what looked
like two bright balls in the sky over

482
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:05.199
by where I thought the house was. And I kept going, and then

483
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:10.280
one ball started to move and it
came where I was driving back to where

484
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:14.880
I had just come from, and
the other ball stayed where it was,

485
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:17.000
which still looked like it was over
my farm. When I got to the

486
00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:23.280
farm started down that long driveway,
I saw that ball. Then I had

487
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:27.880
I was bringing some stuff to someone
else. I thought, well, let

488
00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:30.480
me go do that, and then
when I came back it was gone.

489
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:35.960
But when I went in the house, the phone was ringing, and the

490
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:38.519
gall that I had been visiting waste
the house called and said, hey,

491
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:42.760
did you see? She said?
My daughter in law just just called,

492
00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:46.320
who lived near her, and said
that she saw this great ball of light

493
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:51.559
moving through the sky. Did you
see anything like that when you were driving?

494
00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:52.639
I said, I sure did.
It went right over my head.

495
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:58.760
And so that was one that two
saw. And then another man who lived

496
00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:04.679
near there used to work at a
factory over in town, and he'd go

497
00:38:04.719 --> 00:38:07.480
in at four o'clock in the morning
and open up the place, and he'd

498
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:12.400
want to open it. He'd fixed
coffee and stand out there and look across

499
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:15.800
the countryside, and he said he
saw one almost every night hanging across the

500
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:20.039
countryside. He said he'd just stand
there and look at it. Well.

501
00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:24.440
Then there was a local policeman who
told me that. He said, I

502
00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:29.199
don't know flying telling you this,
He said, could never tell another soul.

503
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:31.280
He said, I came over here
with somebody else who were looking for

504
00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:36.000
something. It was nice, and
we were going down the road next to

505
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:38.400
your house, you know, down
below your house in the back, and

506
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:43.320
that all of a sudden, this
bright object went flying past the back of

507
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:46.159
the car and we looked at each
other, and then all of a sudden,

508
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:50.119
over on the field. One side
was wood on the left and on

509
00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:52.800
the right was open field. I
was on a dirt road, and he

510
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:58.440
said, there's this big ball of
white light hanging in the field over there,

511
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:01.960
just off the ground, floating,
And he said, it's scared us

512
00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:07.880
to death. He said, I
didn't know what to do. He said,

513
00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:09.400
I couldn't turn around. It was
a naracter a road. There was,

514
00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:13.199
you know, a ditch on both
sides. Know where to turn,

515
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:16.119
And he said, so I kept
on going, and I kept on going.

516
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:20.119
That thing kept right by the side
of us, and it kept going

517
00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:22.880
with us. And he said,
when finally came to a dairy, I

518
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:27.519
was able to turn around and head
back out. And he said when I

519
00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:30.079
did, he said, the thing
was over in the field across from the

520
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:32.599
dairy entrance, and he said,
just hanging there. He said, I

521
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:36.320
thought, well, let me tromp
my lights and see what happened. So

522
00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:38.559
he turned off his lights and the
thing started coming towards him. He said

523
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:43.000
it scared him so bad. He
wasn't trying to slights me. He was

524
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:45.840
so scared he couldn't remember how to
do it. He said. The only

525
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:49.079
thing he could figure out how to
turn on was the spotlight on the outside

526
00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:51.320
of the police car. He said, as soon as he turned on that

527
00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:55.079
spotlight, the thing stopped and then
just shot up into space. He said,

528
00:39:55.079 --> 00:40:00.000
they were so terrified. He said
he would never come back there again

529
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:02.440
unless it was the middle of the
daytime, and he would never go back

530
00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:06.719
on that road. Ever, that's
a call. Yes, I wonder if

531
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:10.119
he ever reported that, Oh he
was terrified somebody was tomed out. Oh

532
00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:15.760
he didn't want to report it,
did he do? Know? As a

533
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:17.800
matter of fact, I know the
only reason told me was because I was

534
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:22.840
getting ready to move back to Florida
then, and he thought that I might

535
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:25.559
have some antiques to sell. So
that's why he came over. And so

536
00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:30.519
you know, I didn't have anything
to sell him. But we sat and

537
00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:35.800
talked, and for some reason he
felt comfortable talking to me about that,

538
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:38.679
probably because he knew I was leaving. I wouldn't be here anymore and I

539
00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:43.000
wouldn't talk to anybody. And you
can't blame him. As a small town

540
00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:47.920
you know, the people can really
be vicious. So you know, I

541
00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:52.480
don't blame him. I don't blame
him at all. Yeah, I've had

542
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:57.079
I've had some a couple of experiences. I even had one where I am

543
00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:00.760
now, I had one. I
was out there once again. I tell

544
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:04.559
you you have to have a dog
to see these things, because you have

545
00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:07.599
to go out with them last time
at night and stand there while you're waiting

546
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:13.239
for them to do their business.
That's when you see everything. It's really

547
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:15.119
it's true. I mean, most
everything I've ever seen her experience has been

548
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:19.320
when I've been out there with the
dog. But I was out there was

549
00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:22.400
another little dog. This was,
oh, about three years ago. It

550
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:27.960
was in February, I remember that. And I'm standing there looking straight out

551
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:32.800
from my house waiting for her,
and from behind the house comes this massive

552
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:37.639
thing. It was. It was
oval from where I was, but I

553
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:40.239
was so close. It couldn't have
been much more than five hundred feet off

554
00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:44.199
the ground. It was. It
was the size of the football field.

555
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:51.280
It was huge, and the lightsome
little town that I'm outside of were shining

556
00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:52.920
off of it, off of the
bottom of the thing. And it just

557
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:59.199
kept moving in the same direction,
saying it was going about the same speed

558
00:41:59.199 --> 00:42:01.400
as a freight train. And you
know, it didn't it didn't jump around

559
00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:07.360
like you hear these things do and
all that. It was clearly on a

560
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:10.360
course for somewhere. And I stood
there watching it until it, you know,

561
00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:14.280
when over the tree tops and was
gone. I reported that one.

562
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:19.239
Yeah, some remarkable experiences on this
place. It's amazing, I'd tell you.

563
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:22.360
I think sometimes when you're well,
like with the other place, with

564
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:25.280
all the big Foot. I mean, they could see that I was I

565
00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:29.519
loved my animals, that I was
good to my animals, that I was

566
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:32.880
close to my animals, And I
think that they appreciate that. I think

567
00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:37.000
that's one of the things that makes
them feel comfortable with you. I think

568
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:42.599
sometimes you have to be sort of
connected to nature in a way to be

569
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:45.800
able to see some of these things. I don't know what the answer to

570
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:49.280
that is, except most people are
so caught up in there, in there,

571
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:52.760
all the little dizzy stuff of their
lives that they don't look. They

572
00:42:52.760 --> 00:42:58.159
don't they don't have time to just
stand and look and listen, you know.

573
00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:01.239
They don't have time to that run
to this baseball game, or run

574
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:05.000
to that practice, or you know, run here, run there, cook

575
00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:08.360
laundry at you know, and then
watch television. That's the way life is

576
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:14.760
in the United States, and especially
people who live in urban areas. It's

577
00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:17.320
just that way. There are a
lot of distractions, and it's hard to

578
00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:21.519
I don't know how old would you
say, uh kind of you know,

579
00:43:21.559 --> 00:43:24.880
get into yourself and your surroundings.
But you said a couple of things that

580
00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:30.440
every time I talk to someone like
you, I think of things that are

581
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:35.320
going on around here. That and
again people people keep saying, oh,

582
00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:37.679
Cam, you got them, you
got bigfoot, And I don't think I

583
00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:40.480
do. But for the last two
months, you know, I've got five

584
00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:45.480
dogs, and three times a day
we make a do we go on a

585
00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:47.480
long walk in the mornings, it's
about a mile and a half. And

586
00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:51.360
then three more times during the day, I'll take a break from work and

587
00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:54.159
I'll walk them around about a quarter
mile here, just round my house,

588
00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:58.440
just to let them go to the
bathroom and all that stuff. And then

589
00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:01.280
I take them out one one more
time at night before we go to bed.

590
00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:06.000
And what's funny is the last couple
of months, about twice a week,

591
00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:08.199
all the dogs will come in,
you know. They I let them

592
00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:10.599
out, they all run off,
they all go out in the woods,

593
00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:15.199
and they'll all come back except my
black little pit bull. Her name is

594
00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:19.760
Betsy. I'll call her and call
her and call her. And where we

595
00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:22.920
live, it's dark. We don't
have any street lights at all. I

596
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:25.159
wear a head lamp when I go
out at night. I'll be shining in

597
00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:30.199
that head lamp all through those woods
and I can't find her anywhere. So

598
00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:32.719
I'll go in twenty minutes later,
I'll go out, can't find her,

599
00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:37.320
and then and then I'll find her
right at the edge of the woods after

600
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:42.639
I come back out again. You
know, it just varies on when I

601
00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:45.840
finally find her. But she'll be
just sitting at the edge of the woods.

602
00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:49.800
She'll just sit there, or she'll
be standing just staring off in the

603
00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:52.880
woods. She won't be barking,
she's not growling. It's not wagging her

604
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:57.400
tail, she's not just showing any
you know, typical dog sign. She's

605
00:44:57.440 --> 00:45:00.880
just standing there staring and it is
oh creepy. And I'll call her and

606
00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:05.039
call her from the porch and she
won't come, and I have to walk

607
00:45:05.079 --> 00:45:07.519
out and get and I'll have to
walk out and I just walk up to

608
00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:10.880
her, real slow and quiet,
you know, and I'll say her name

609
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:14.920
when I get ten or fifteen feet
from her, and she'll turn around look

610
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:16.519
at me, and then she'll look
straight back out in those woods. And

611
00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:21.679
I'll just stand there with her and
look trying to see what she's looking at.

612
00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:24.320
She may not be looking at anything, but she may just be listening.

613
00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:30.000
But she'll slowly turn her head.
She'll slowly turn her head and we'll

614
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:31.840
walk back to the porch and she
comes in the house. It is so

615
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:37.480
weird. But when you were talking
about your animals all facing towards the woods

616
00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:42.800
earlier, that's exactly what I thought
about. It's yeah, yeah, And

617
00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:46.880
the other dogs don't have any inclination
to do that. No, And Betsy

618
00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:52.719
is she is always moving. She
never stops. She never stops like that

619
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:59.039
to just look at something or stare
off into space. She's always moving or

620
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:05.559
I don't know, looking for water
whatever. What's happen every time? Pretty

621
00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:07.719
much? Yeah, it's right here, right here, actually behind my office.

622
00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:12.079
So'll just sit there right at the
edge. That was just staring and

623
00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:15.239
it is so have you ever gone
back there exploring to see if you can

624
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:19.360
see anything back in the daytime.
Oh, I'm back there all the time.

625
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:22.480
You haven't seen anything odd. I
never see anything odd here ever,

626
00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:27.360
And I've walked over the month.
Each month, I walk every inch of

627
00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:30.159
this place. And it's it's not
all my property. It's probably a combine

628
00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:35.880
five or six hundred acres and I'm
either riding it or walking it. And

629
00:46:36.199 --> 00:46:37.719
just because I like to be out. I just love to be out.

630
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:43.079
And the dogs like they hanging right
with me everywhere I go. So anyway,

631
00:46:43.119 --> 00:46:45.960
but enough of that. I just
thought I thought that was so it's

632
00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:52.000
such a weird sight. And I'm
going to I'm gonna bring one of my

633
00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:54.239
big cameras. I usually keep them
out here in the office, so I'm

634
00:46:54.239 --> 00:46:58.920
gonna bring one in one night and
then try to film her doing that and

635
00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:02.360
show everybody on a video. Yeah, that's it's weird. Well, we'd

636
00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:07.079
almost an hour, can you uh
yeah, can you believe it? And

637
00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:09.239
I think I'll just took up ten
minutes of it. I'm sorry about that.

638
00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:13.800
Oh, but I love that.
That's what I say. I find

639
00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:20.599
all that fascinating. I really do. Yeah, animal behavior is really interesting.

640
00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:23.880
Yeah, well I like to watch
to see what they do and and

641
00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:29.760
you know, different groups have different
behavior patterns. And it's you know,

642
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:32.719
because I said, here my office, looking across a five acres, I

643
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:36.400
get this. You know, different
times of the year, I have different

644
00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:39.840
groups of animals come in and I
get to watch to see how they interact

645
00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:44.679
with each other and that type of
thing. It's fascinating. Yeah. And

646
00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:49.480
now I have a huge pack of
kias that just somehow have arrived. They

647
00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:54.440
howl and my dog goes crazy and
I'm now I'm afraid for him to go

648
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:58.320
out and roam on his own.
Yeah, they'll kill them. They say

649
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:02.440
dogs as competition and their codies are
and that's an animal. It's a whole

650
00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:07.199
other topic. But and I'm not
an animal rights person at all, but

651
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:09.079
I have a huge respect for that
animal. And I won't get into all

652
00:48:09.119 --> 00:48:13.920
the details of why I do now, but they're a I'll just tell you

653
00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:20.360
this. They are. It's it's
the oldest animal historically, and it's they

654
00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:24.599
are a unique North American animal that
they're not found anywhere else in the world.

655
00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:29.880
And they've been here for I think
I'm true. I don't want to

656
00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:34.400
say a number, but pret placed
to seen era and they roam the you

657
00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:37.800
know where they are now here in
the East is not their natural range,

658
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:42.000
although it is now. They're so
able to adapt, and they're the most

659
00:48:42.039 --> 00:48:45.199
persecuted animal in the history of the
world. There's never been an animal that

660
00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:49.920
men have tried to kill out more
than the coyote. Well, and I

661
00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:52.679
have to say I can understand it
because you know, I can't tell you

662
00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:57.400
the number of nights on my own
farm that I had to sit out there

663
00:48:58.039 --> 00:49:00.960
with a rifle all night in the
trust a spotlight and you know, try

664
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:07.320
to protect my cattle. And you
know, especially in the spring, that's

665
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:13.480
one animal that men can't control.
They're naturally here. They've right now,

666
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:17.000
Yeah, Coote's the only thing men
have ever done with Cody's trying to kill

667
00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:21.639
them, and you they can't.
We cannot get rid of a matter of

668
00:49:21.679 --> 00:49:24.760
fact, the most persecuted animal on
the face of the earth is the coyote.

669
00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:30.079
Yet their numbers are more healthy than
they've ever been in the history of

670
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:35.480
the world. Isn't that amazing.
I didn't know anything about that. That's

671
00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:38.760
fascinated. I just just read an
article that you know, a lot of

672
00:49:38.840 --> 00:49:43.960
hunters are kill them all, kill
them all because they're killing our deer in

673
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:46.800
our Turkey. And I just read
an article. Uh, you probably don't

674
00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:52.880
follow this guy, but Steve Ronnelly
has a podcast and a website and a

675
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:57.400
Netflix show called Meat Eater, and
he just released an article about about the

676
00:49:57.440 --> 00:50:01.800
cody in the eastern United States.
And they're not hurting the deer population at

677
00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:05.599
all. If you look at it
as a whole, the eastern whitetail is

678
00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:08.960
as healthy as it's ever been deer
hunters are killing more deer than they ever

679
00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:13.679
have, if there are more codies
than there's ever been, So the cody

680
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:17.159
dear thing is a myth. It's
not true. Well, and also too,

681
00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:21.760
I heard that they can't take one
down unless they're in a huge fact

682
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:24.000
to do it, and they probably
don't need to. But you know,

683
00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:29.639
since this group has been here,
you know, squirrels are the bane of

684
00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:34.079
my existence. With this bird feeder
at you and you know, I do

685
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:37.039
everything. I put Vassoline on the
pole, I put w D forty on

686
00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:40.159
the pole, I do everything I
can think of. And you know,

687
00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:45.280
they always figured out eventually, and
they turn the bird fee here upside in.

688
00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:49.079
So eventually I just stopped beating the
birds. This year, I have

689
00:50:49.639 --> 00:50:54.360
no squirrels, not a single squirrel, and in fact, I have almost

690
00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:58.599
no bird I've never seen it like
this. Where do you think's going on?

691
00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:01.079
I don't know, there's nothing out
here. I mean, you know,

692
00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:08.480
I wish they'd eat some frogs comes
by. I must have ten billion

693
00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:14.480
frogs of every kind everyone's got.
I mean, I love listening to them,

694
00:51:14.639 --> 00:51:19.360
but sometimes they're so loud I can't
hear myself think. Yeah, and

695
00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:23.239
I wouldn't mind it all of these
if they frogs. Different areas go through

696
00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:28.199
ups and downs of squirrels and songbirds. You know, there are years where

697
00:51:28.199 --> 00:51:30.519
we don't seem any of this past
year, but I've seen more squirrels than

698
00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:34.280
ever. I think it has a
lot to do with the acorn crop,

699
00:51:34.519 --> 00:51:37.239
which helps a deer and all that
stuff. So well, I have hunters

700
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:40.880
down here now that I've never had
before either. So you know, I

701
00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:45.280
used to have turkeys walking through the
yard every day, and you know,

702
00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:50.960
deer every day. I don't see
anything anymore. It's sad. It'll probably

703
00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:53.880
come back around. It'll be we
have turkeys around here, we see them

704
00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:57.559
all the time, and then we'll
go six months and we won't ever see

705
00:51:57.599 --> 00:52:00.480
them. And I haven't seen turkey. I haven't seen turkeys out my yard

706
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:04.519
and probably six months. And I
looked out today and there was eight or

707
00:52:04.599 --> 00:52:07.679
nine I'm walking across my yard.
So they just kind of move around.

708
00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:13.519
But just so anybody who heard me
say this about coyotes, don't misunderstand me.

709
00:52:13.639 --> 00:52:17.679
Go kill all you want. I
am not in any way saying to

710
00:52:17.719 --> 00:52:22.480
protect the coyotes, because here's the
deal, they don't need your protection,

711
00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:27.920
you kill all you want, and
that their population will be right back where

712
00:52:27.920 --> 00:52:30.679
it was within just a few months, and it might even be bigger.

713
00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:35.280
So and if you don't, yeah, if you don't believe me, read

714
00:52:35.360 --> 00:52:38.239
up on it. You'll find it
out that's true. So well, Janelle,

715
00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:43.079
if there anything any parting words or
anything you'd like to tell anybody got

716
00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:46.159
off of cryptids, Aaron started talking
about just natural wildlife. But is there

717
00:52:46.199 --> 00:52:52.519
anything you'd like to say before we
end this show? Well, I don't

718
00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:58.159
think so. I mean, I
definitely believe these things exist. I'm not

719
00:52:58.239 --> 00:53:02.280
sure that they show themselves every body. I'm not. I think women alone

720
00:53:02.800 --> 00:53:08.119
are probably more likely to run into
them because they're not intimidated by women.

721
00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:13.719
I think. I think we are
sometimes their entertainment. I think when they

722
00:53:13.800 --> 00:53:16.920
like to watch children play, they
like to watch what women are doing outside,

723
00:53:16.960 --> 00:53:22.760
and they also like to watch what
we're doing inside. I now keep

724
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:25.519
my blinds as tight as I can
get them. I make sure that nobody

725
00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:30.159
can see those little holes where the
thread goes through the blind. I'm careful

726
00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:37.119
at nighttime now. But yeah,
I think they're less likely to bother houses

727
00:53:37.159 --> 00:53:40.800
where they're men around. You're pretty
sure they're not aggressive, and or at

728
00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:45.679
least the ones you've been in contact
with, we're never really super aggressive with

729
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:50.800
you. Were they only after the
researchers started coming down and going into their

730
00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:54.400
territory. Now I would walk into
their territory too, but you know,

731
00:53:54.559 --> 00:53:58.800
I was no threat. I think
they felt the men were a threat.

732
00:53:59.599 --> 00:54:01.519
And then they took it out on
me by beating the side of the wall

733
00:54:01.599 --> 00:54:06.800
and you know, then coming up
the rose thing up the side of the

734
00:54:06.840 --> 00:54:13.559
wall, and you know, they
started showing I got a feeling of aggression.

735
00:54:13.800 --> 00:54:15.719
I mean, it's time that one
jumping up and down and screaming and

736
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:20.320
then beating the wall, and that
was definitely aggression. But they took it

737
00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:23.599
out on me. That's the interesting
thing. They felt that I was to

738
00:54:23.639 --> 00:54:28.719
blame for those people coming down there
and getting in their business. So I

739
00:54:28.760 --> 00:54:32.719
think they can be aggressive. They
definitely show anger. But the rest of

740
00:54:32.719 --> 00:54:37.400
the time I think I was entertaining
them. I think I was their television.

741
00:54:39.440 --> 00:54:43.519
But of course I don't think many
many people go to the wind and

742
00:54:43.639 --> 00:54:51.480
talk to them either like I did, like an idiot. That's perfectly understood.

743
00:54:51.639 --> 00:54:54.039
If I'd only known, If I
had only known I'd have been hiding

744
00:54:54.119 --> 00:54:59.840
under the bed. So funny,
so funny. Well, listen, thank

745
00:54:59.880 --> 00:55:02.639
you you so much for agreeing to
do this. You've been very gracious and

746
00:55:04.119 --> 00:55:07.360
nice and sweet and very interesting to
talk to. Well, thank you.

747
00:55:07.559 --> 00:55:13.559
I just don't want anybody else to
feel like they have to worry so much

748
00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:16.800
about what people think. Who cares
what people think? You know, when

749
00:55:16.800 --> 00:55:21.000
you get rought down to it,
if they were to pay my bills or

750
00:55:21.360 --> 00:55:24.360
or to give me my paycheck,
I think twice. But until they do

751
00:55:24.400 --> 00:55:28.920
that, I don't care a whole
lot, you know, you know,

752
00:55:29.320 --> 00:55:31.559
I feel sorry for people who,
you know, have to keep it bottled

753
00:55:31.679 --> 00:55:35.760
up inside them. I mean,
I've kept it bottled up for all these

754
00:55:35.880 --> 00:55:38.639
years. I've never told anybody what
I've told you to night. But I

755
00:55:39.000 --> 00:55:45.039
also see people struggling with it on
your website, and I don't I hope

756
00:55:45.079 --> 00:55:49.079
that it'll help them not to struggle, you know, by telling you that

757
00:55:49.119 --> 00:55:52.320
these things. So yeah, they
can you know, if they want to

758
00:55:52.360 --> 00:55:55.559
get it off their chest or feel
compelled to, then you know, they

759
00:55:55.559 --> 00:55:59.400
can email me just like you,
and we'll get you on here. And

760
00:55:59.719 --> 00:56:02.320
yeah, they're in a very safe
thanks with you, right and or they

761
00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:06.599
could just write it as a story
and I'll be glad to narrate it.

762
00:56:07.199 --> 00:56:10.880
Everybody, thanks for listening. I
hope you enjoyed the video and we'll see

763
00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:13.360
you guys on the next one.
Thanks
