00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.120
Today, I want to tell you
about a journey that I've been on for

2
00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:05.080
most of my life. Ever since
I was a kid, I've heard tales

3
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:09.160
of bigfoot and wild men while spending
time with my friends and family. As

4
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:12.960
I grew older and read more about
the paranormal, my interest encryptids and other

5
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.120
things strange only deepened. That's why
I'm so excited to share with you what

6
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:23.000
I've personally become involved with The Untold
Radio Network. The Untold Radio Network is

today. I got to sit down
with Todd and Doug out in California.

28
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.479
They've had some really cool experiences out
there while they've been looking for Sasquatch,

29
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:12.120
and the main reason that they're here
is to talk about this amazing track way

30
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.360
that they found earlier this year.
So I'm going to let them tell you

31
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.039
all about that. If you want

00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:59.240
you both. So we're gonna go
around the horn here, and I'm gonna

56
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.520
start with Todd. Since you're in
the top of the clock right now,

57
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.319
let's talk about sasquatch Man. What
guy you interested in the subject? To

58
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:10.080
begin with? When I was younger, and I'll started with the P and

59
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:15.479
G film in search of all those
documentaries and stephan as the old letn't need

60
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.240
more eas things. And and then
when I started to we walked throughs.

61
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.800
I read books when I was younger. It wasn't until I got older well

62
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:25.800
yet, and the internet came out, and then there was all kinds of

63
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.480
stuff on Bigfoot, and I did
a lot of research online behind the computer.

64
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:36.199
But once I moved up here to
Humboldts, that's when I started really

65
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:43.120
going out, was Doug and not
really doing research in the local mountains,

66
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.680
in the local areas. We're definitely
going to get to some of your research,

67
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.120
and I know you guys have some
really cool stuff to talk about,

68
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.360
but before we get there, Doug, same question for you, man,

69
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:55.120
what got you interested in the subject. Was it pretty much the same thing

70
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.639
the general typical things that you were
seeing, or was it an experience that

71
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.639
you had. I would say for
me, I was a kid when I

72
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.360
saw the P ANDNG film, living
in El Paso, Texas, and I

73
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:11.040
was always fascinated with the West Coast
because my grandmother my parents originally were from

74
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:16.279
Oregon and so my grandmother on my
mom's side lived in Willala, So I

75
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:21.199
was always fascinated with the mountains.
Saw the P and G film. Even

76
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:26.199
in El Paso, they had a
so called sighting of something called the Horizon

77
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.680
City Monster, but I was so
involved in sports and other things, I

78
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.759
just forgot about it. And I
even came up here to northern California in

79
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:38.040
nineteen seventy nine, which I've lived
here off and on since then. I

80
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:42.199
even forgot that this film had taken
place so close to here. I had

81
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:46.480
heard different things, but I became
an avid backpacker, so over the years

82
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:50.680
I've just had some kind of strange
experiences out in backpacking with my family,

83
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.680
solo and other times. When Todd
came here, I told him just some

84
00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:00.920
of the experiences I had, and
we decided to just go out looking for

85
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.319
Bigfoot. Let's talk a little bit
about that, Todd. You mentioned that

86
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.360
you guys had been out in the
woods and researching together. What kind of

87
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:10.319
research are you doing, What kind
of areas are you guys going into,

88
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:15.720
and what kind of experiences are you
having? The research word not that experiences

89
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.759
as far as researchers, but we
go out, we have a firm wall

90
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:25.720
camera, we go out camping,
and we just do some midnight hikes and

91
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.079
listen, and we also do a
lot of day trips in the mountains.

92
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.879
Like I said, we're not super
experience, but we do camp a lot,

93
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:36.800
and we do go out in the
woods a lot. So we're out

94
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:42.759
in the woods and number of times
a year. So we do have the

95
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.439
experience of being out in the woods
and knowing the area, and we started

96
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:53.800
to concentrate last few years in a
certain area, and we've had some good

97
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.800
success. Let's talk about the experiences
that you guys are having, and success

98
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.240
is a subjective word, right,
so let's talk a little bit about some

99
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.600
of the things that you've experienced in
any evidence that you guys might have been

100
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:10.399
finding and collecting out there. But
when that led up to the track weave

101
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:15.079
find we were basically in the same
area, just a few miles away.

102
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:21.000
We had gone down this road.
We got about shit, maybe a couple

103
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:24.639
of miles in, but we couldn't
go no further because of snow. But

104
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.120
we got out and we hyped in
probably another mile and a half or so.

105
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.680
Dug had mentioned this area that we
passed, how it looked like it

106
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:36.720
was a good spot for a predator
to be in. So we're hyping back

107
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:42.199
down and we get to that same
spot and I'm not sure if I heard

108
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.800
something, but I looked up through
that same spot and I saw an animal

109
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:53.680
going between two bushes. I saw
brown furs split seconds, but gravel started

110
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:58.560
coming down from the hillside because it
was probably about a thirty foot ledge and

111
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.600
we saw that the gravel come down, and then the tree had up under

112
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:07.439
snore and it started shaking aggressively,
just shaking, and then it walked off.

113
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.519
We heard it maybe three or four
footsteps that day. We also right

114
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.279
after that we heard a couple knocks, and then we went ahead and left.

115
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.000
And then that on April thirtieth,
when we came back up to that

116
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.360
same area, that's when we found
the tracks. Before we get into the

117
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.399
track away, I want to go
back to Doug for a second, and

118
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.679
you mentioned some experiences you had had
solo backpacking and some of the things that

119
00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:35.159
you had experienced out backpacking with your
family. Let's talk a little bit about

120
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:41.200
those experiences and get an idea of
what you had experienced before we get into

121
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.559
the trackway, because I think we'll
spend most of our time there. Okay,

122
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.279
I've, like I mentioned before,
I've been backpacking since I was sixteen

123
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.120
years old. I used to backpack
in New Mexico, and of course when

124
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:58.519
I moved out with my dad to
California after our parents divorce. I lived

125
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.080
in southern California at the time,
so I hiked Sangregonio Mountain, San Jacinto

126
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.960
Mountains had some great times. That's
one of the reasons I probably came up

127
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.039
here to Humboldt State University. It's
now known as cal Poly. I was

128
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:16.759
gonna dive into becoming a forest ranger
because that's what I wanted to do.

129
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.080
I ended up getting married, but
I've been an apted backpacker. My ex

130
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.840
wife she actually got to where she
enjoyed backpack and we'd take the kids and

131
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.440
we would just have weird experiences.
A lot of times you'd hear chatter,

132
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.799
you hear like people talking, but
you couldn't understand it. And we were

133
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.919
all over the Trinity Alps. We've
been in the Marble Mountains. So that

134
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.879
was some of the early experiences.
And then when my son had grown up

135
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:48.879
and was married, him and his
brother, his wife and another friend actually

136
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.600
had an experience at a lake and
the Trinity Alps. It's known as Bear

137
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.679
Lake. And it's so funny because
there's been a couple of different beare lakes

138
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:00.759
we've been to. You'll hear one's
in the Siskis, one's in the Trinity

139
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.639
Opps. He actually had a sighting
in the middle of the night, and

140
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.879
he was on finding Bigfoot because of
it, because it walked into the camp

141
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.120
at two in the morning, full
moon, couldn't sleep, they didn't have

142
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.960
a fire that night, and he
saw and smelt it and it picked up

143
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.440
his pack he had it hanging up
in the tree, picked up his pack,

144
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.799
unzipped it because he had it just
hanging on a tree limb, and

145
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.799
he yelled, hey. He was
so scared. He knew he should have

146
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.399
done something, but he just didn't
know what to do because it was so

147
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.799
scary. And when he said hey, it dropped it on the tent,

148
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.039
woke everybody up, and you couldn't
get prints there because it was on granite

149
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:45.120
because that particular lake is surrounded by
granite. And it's interesting too because just

150
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:50.519
before dusk his other friend said,
I saw something huge across the lake.

151
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.799
I don't know what it was,
and my son had said, was it

152
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.000
a bearer? And he goes,
I don't know what it was, but

153
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:58.440
it scared me and I don't want
to go over there, because he wanted

154
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.000
to go check it out. So
that ended up landing them on the Animal

155
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:07.759
Planet finding Bigfoot. So he had
that experience. We've just heard these things

156
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.159
over the years, there's a big
fire breakout, which incidentally, we'd probably

157
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:15.679
be squatching a lot more right now. But we've had so many fires in

158
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:20.879
the very areas that we want to
go, so we're picking some alternative areas

159
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:28.039
here shortly that are where no fires
are. So that really got us interested.

160
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.759
And we've heard tree knocks, we've
just heard weird things. And then

161
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.799
another experience which Todd will have a
further experience in this particular location. This

162
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:43.639
is after my divorce. But in
twenty fourteen, I went with a friend

163
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.679
to Bear Lake in the Sisky Wilderness. It's two lakes. There's an upper

164
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:52.440
lake and the lower lake, very
remote. Not many people go there backpacking.

165
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:58.399
And he brought his dog, Amos. His name the owner of the

166
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.919
dog is Bob Smith. So Bob
Smith and I went backpack. And I'm

167
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:05.480
getting this straight because some got confused
about the son some other podcasts. So

168
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.519
Bob Smith and I were backpacking.
His dog, Amos, was coming with

169
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.840
us, an old basset hound,
and he was going pretty slow. So

170
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.240
Bob said, I'm just going to
stay with Amos. We'll just we'll catch

171
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.320
up later. So I waited and
waited. I got to the lake,

172
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.000
and finally he showed up and his
dogged it. So I went looking for

173
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:31.039
him. I said, hey,
I didn't see for so a mountainline didn't

174
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.440
get him. I think he's okay. Maybe we went back to your truck.

175
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:35.240
Maybe he said forget this and went
back to the truck, which in

176
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.679
the end was the case. So
the next morning he was still worried about

177
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:45.399
his dog, and he decided to
go looking for his dog. And I

178
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:50.399
was there at the lake and I
was actually reading a book by David Politis

179
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.080
on the Hoop Hop Project, and
I had binoculars and there was a bunch

180
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.799
of deer grazing across the lake.
And at this time there was a thick

181
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:03.600
grove of trees. Now unfortunately a
fire has burnt most of that, but

182
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.919
anyway, I just know s these
deer were acting extra weird, because deer

183
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:15.120
are always very suspicious and they look
up and any sound. But they were

184
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:18.320
acting extra weird. And all of
a sudden, I just heard this loud

185
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:24.799
roar and I heard limbs breaking,
and it just freaked me out because that

186
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.799
was no bear. That roar that
went forth. It was so loud,

187
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:33.320
and you could just hear something huge
going after those deer, and some of

188
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.840
the deer swam into the lake.
So that definitely was an experience that got

189
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:43.519
me thinking. And then we later
when he came back holding about the experience.

190
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.879
I had put some apples in a
couple of locations because I was going

191
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.000
to go look my curiosity, which
probably looking back, it's stupid in a

192
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.480
way, but you just wonder hoping
their docile, but you don't know because

193
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.720
I hear some other stories. We
found one of the apples missing and he

194
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:01.960
goes, hey, if it was
a bear, it would have taken both.

195
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:05.399
Why did it only take one?
And then we were heading down towards

196
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:11.840
the lower lake and we found some
huge footprints. So that definitely was another

197
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:16.360
experience that was closer than some of
the ones in the previous with my family.

198
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.360
Other than my sons, I wasn't
with him on that occasion. Yeah,

199
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.080
I can't imagine waking up to that
and something picking up your backpack in

200
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.240
the middle of the ninth then had
to be a scary situation. Toddy mentioned

201
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.840
that you had another experience in and
around that same area. Can you talk

202
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.519
a little bit about that. Yeah, Actually it was at the same lake.

203
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.720
Doug had pulled me that experience,
so we decided to make plans to

204
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:48.240
go back there. So I think
it was in two nineteen August. Yeah,

205
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.720
we backpacked in, went to the
I guess the south end of the

206
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:58.000
lake under these trees and the Grover
trees right on the lake. We get

207
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:03.120
there and there's a cat site that
all this shovel. It's like they were

208
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.080
camping and they to grab their backpacks
and left. There's harps, there is

209
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.759
food, there's pots and pans,
just everything just like they just grabbed their

210
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.480
backpacks and left. So we cleaned
up. We put all in the tarps

211
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.919
and there was a lot of stuff. There was four of us there.

212
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:22.559
The first night, there wasn't much
going on. We're pretty pretty tired.

213
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.080
We went right to bed. The
next night, the other two guys that

214
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:31.600
were with us, Blaine and Caesar, they had a little streiens. They

215
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.720
were hearing things coming in to the
camp. I was out. I didn't

216
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:41.000
even really get up. But the
third night, Caesar was gone. There

217
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.919
was only three of us there,
and the night before we had heard some

218
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.080
knocks before we went to bed.
This night it was silence. We did

219
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:54.039
hear clinging noises like hands, the
pots and pans are being clang together.

220
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.320
We figured maybe they had picked up
some cans that these campers had left or

221
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:04.279
whatever. That night I'd done to
bed Doug and blame I guess we're awake.

222
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:07.840
They had gotten up in the middle
of night. I heard him talking

223
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.600
and I woke up. I said, Hey, what's going on? And

224
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:12.720
they said, hey, We've been
trying to wake you up for a couple

225
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:18.639
of hours because they've been hearing somebody
coming into camps from all sides. There's

226
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.440
noises and the bushes and they were
getting the fire going way big. So

227
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:26.799
I got up and use the bushes
and I came back and we sat down

228
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:33.200
by the fire for probably about an
hour. All the noise kind of stops.

229
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:38.000
Then we decided to go back to
bed. Doug and Blaine started snoring

230
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:44.639
right off. They're out. I
was laying there on the ground inside my

231
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:51.120
tent. I couldn't sleep. I
could see the fire dying down through the

232
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:57.600
tents. Finally it basically went out, and I started hearing noises in the

233
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:03.159
bushes and I'm laying there, I'm
lifting and they're getting closer and closer,

234
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:10.160
and then the footsteps started coming in
along with trail and I could feel the

235
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:11.920
footsteps in my back because I was
laying on the ground, I could feel

236
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:18.200
the like the where they call him
the impact tremors. And this thing got

237
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:21.759
right next to my tents, and
I wanted to look out my tent,

238
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.279
but I was so scared I couldn't
even move. And I was laying there

239
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:27.240
for probably about a minute or so, and then I guess one of the

240
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:32.880
logs had broken off and fell back
into the fire, and the fire raised

241
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:36.519
back up, and this seing took
off out of the camp and I could

242
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:40.200
tell he was a bipedal animal.
It wasn't a bear. It had to

243
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:41.599
be a squats or a man,
but I don't see a man being out

244
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.920
there, and the weight of it
causing the impact tremmors where I could feel

245
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:51.319
them in my back. Then I
woke up with them in the morning and

246
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:53.799
that was it. We were fine. Actually that day too, me and

247
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.680
Blaine were out on the other part
lake and we were hearing across a lake

248
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:03.839
from tree knock and tree breaks when
Doug was gone for a time. But

249
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.839
now, that was a pretty wild
experience, just feeling those impact trummers in

250
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.000
my back. That was a unique
experience. People have talked about that before

251
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:15.039
on the show, about how big
some of these creatures are and how heavy

252
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:21.640
they are, and hearing and feeling
the footprints, and I've heard vocalizations of

253
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:23.960
what I believe to be sasquatch here
on the property, and that in and

254
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:29.119
of itself is something that's very hard
to explain. When you hear like an

255
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:33.079
ohio howel type call or these yells
that these things do, it's something like

256
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:37.000
I've never heard before, and it's
really difficult to explain to people who've never

257
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.240
had that experience because it's not that
you just hear it, you feel it

258
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.079
as well. So I couldn't imagine
being laying there and then this thing walking

259
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.519
up and feeling the tremors. Whoever
wants to take this as far as leading

260
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.319
us into the finding of the track, way, I don't know which one

261
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.079
you want to start that off and
talk about it, but let's get into

262
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:57.920
that. Let's talk about the area
that you guys were in, what kind

263
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:02.000
of research were you doing, had
you had other experiences leading up to that,

264
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:04.319
and then let's get into and talk
about the track where the guests found.

265
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.720
Yeah, we've had lots of other
experiences, and what you said about

266
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:12.079
the roars, I agree with you
because that roar I had at Bear Lake

267
00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:18.880
sounded like the loudest vibrating roar that
just went through your body, and it

268
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:25.400
sound like a gorilla because I've heard
bears that this was no bear and just

269
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:27.720
the way it was breaking through those
trees. And we've had a few other

270
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:32.960
experiences over the years. So that's
got us to decide to focus on the

271
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.240
go road a little bit. Which
is the go road is the Gaskey the

272
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:45.240
Orleans Gaskey Road, which was near
where the famous Patterson Gimmlin film was shot.

273
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.440
So it's a paved road that they
never finished because of all the Sasquatch

274
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:53.640
activity they had in the fifties and
sixties and so forth. That's where they

275
00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:59.119
were throwing the drums and they were
fighting footprints and so forth. So we

276
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:03.759
go up that lot because there's some
really cool primitive camp sites up there,

277
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:07.599
and stay tuned for more Sasquatch out
to Seaward right back after these messages,

278
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:17.880
one being Laos Camp, another's Beans
Camp. There's Elk Valley at the end

279
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:19.839
of the road. These are all
places where you can camp for free.

280
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:26.519
Cedar Camp we've been there unfortunately that
got burnt this summer by Mosquito Lake were

281
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.400
bombed about that. Just Todd had
a good experience with his brother in law

282
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:36.480
carry there last year. So we've
had just various experiences and we just like

283
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:40.279
to go up there and try to
go down logging roads that have been abandoned

284
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:44.880
basically, and so during the winter
we just usually try to get up as

285
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:49.240
far as we can in the snow
and look around because we figure that would

286
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:53.480
be a great time to find prints
if we can find them, because dearly

287
00:20:53.759 --> 00:21:02.160
prints, cougarly prints bear rabbits.
And so that morning we decided to do

288
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:07.440
it. So it was Carrie Todd
and myself and we went up April thirtieth

289
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:11.799
and started driving up the Go road. And we had gone like Todd had

290
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.200
mentioned before, we made it up
six miles like two or three weeks before,

291
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.640
so the snow was starting to melt. We made it up to ten

292
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:25.000
miles this time, and we first
jumped out found some interesting things, but

293
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:30.079
then we drove up to where no
one had been and when we jumped out,

294
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.160
we go wow, look at that, and we saw a trackway that

295
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.039
went well over one hundred yards up
the hill to a place where the asphalt

296
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:41.559
was melted through and came back down
and we were going uhh, and so

297
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.440
we were just stopping to look and
then Carrie looked down and says, hey,

298
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:49.000
this has toes in it. And
then all sudden we just got really

299
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:53.960
excited. And that's where we made
a few airs in the sense of we

300
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:59.400
had tape measures, we didn't pull
them out. Fortunately, I didn't think

301
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:02.680
a video where we had just barely
start walking up and I thought to myself,

302
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:06.160
I better take a video of this
before we start ruining it, because

303
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:10.799
we're walking around looking at the distance
between the prints and so forth and how

304
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:17.200
big they are. And some other
podcasts encouraged us to really start casting a

305
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:21.480
lot more, which we're definitely going
to start doing that. Looking back,

306
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:25.920
we both think, wow, we
could have done this so differently, and

307
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:30.640
then we'd even take out even more
of some skepticism that some people have had.

308
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:34.960
But I tell you it was the
most amazing. Fine, because I've

309
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:38.839
had these experiences, but this was
like the closest thing to when you see

310
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:42.920
real footprints in the snow, You're
just like, wow, it sends you

311
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:48.400
to a different spot that you have
to really ask yourself, this just could

312
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:52.279
be real, because I've always been
someone that would like to think it's real,

313
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.640
but I'm like less strouted. I
want to see it to believe it.

314
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.200
And so that's the beginning of it, and then talk and going to

315
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:04.160
more of it. Yeah, we
got to the this site where we found

316
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:08.640
the Prince. We had driven through
a couple of the areas that had snow

317
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:12.960
still on the road. The first
one was a few inches sack, but

318
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:17.480
there was no tracks, no the
tire tracks show we know no one was

319
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:21.240
there yet. And then we went
through another section that was about six inches

320
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:23.519
deep, and then we went through
another area that was like a foot deep

321
00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:26.880
that we did get through, and
then we rolled up to this area that

322
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:30.519
we couldn't get through. It was
a couple of feet deep. We stopped

323
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:33.440
after where we found the Prince.
One of the things that impressed me about

324
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.960
the Prince was the toes. You
can really see the outlining of the toes

325
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:41.759
and a lot of them, and
you can also see the mid tarsal break

326
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:48.160
because the toes went down in the
snow for the mid section of the foot

327
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.079
to the back was flattened and the
toes went down deeper probab about the inch

328
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:57.640
deeper into the snow, which unless
you have a mid tarsal break in your

329
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:03.839
foot, that's were going to happen. The strides of the footprints, the

330
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.480
one's going up with four feet apart
the gate, which is pretty good.

331
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.519
I mean at a fourth foot of
mine is probably truth be at the most

332
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:17.160
the good sized gate. The tracks
and themselves were about four inches long six

333
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:22.079
inches wide. They weren't the longest
prints, but the width and the depth

334
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:26.960
of them, the depth they were
in some areas four to six inches deep

335
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.799
into the snow. We were jumping
in the snow on our boots. We

336
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.519
had boots on, and we were
going maybe an inch into the snow.

337
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:37.599
So this animal had to be at
least five hundred pounds. It's thought more.

338
00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:41.279
I tell you the photographs that you
guys sent me. I know you've

339
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.000
got some other stuff. I haven't
seen the video yet, but the photo

340
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.759
that you sent me were impressive.
And the thing that got me was how

341
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:52.960
far out you guys were into the
wilderness. Typically, I don't know how

342
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.640
it is out there. We do
get snow here in North Carolina. We

343
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.559
got twenty three inches of snow here
a couple of years back on property.

344
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.720
And I tell you one thing I
didn't do. I didn't take my shoes

345
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.319
off and go walk around barefoot in
the snow. So that was one thing

346
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.839
that impressed me. I was taking
notes as you guys were talking about the

347
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:14.680
size. You said about twelve inches
long, about six inches wide, and

348
00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:18.279
you say it was maybe one hundred
yards or so that this wind or how

349
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.440
could you tell? Did you guys
count how many total footprints that you guys

350
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.039
saw in the trackway? We didn't
count them, but there had to be

351
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:33.599
at least one hundred prints. We
have probably forty or fifty pictures and a

352
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:38.400
few videos. Yeah, in this
area in the wintertime, it's completely death

353
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:41.799
of late because you can't get up
there the first department. There's gates that

354
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:48.160
they shut off certain parts of the
area and the go goat is usually inaccessible

355
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:53.480
until mid April because of all the
snow. And when we know this area,

356
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:56.680
we were the first ones that got
to this point because of the snow

357
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:02.160
on the road that we went through, there were no footprints or any tire

358
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:04.680
tracks at all, but we know
we were the first ones to get to

359
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:10.519
that point. Yeah, and another
thing too, I would say it was

360
00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:15.559
four to five feet. I tried
to step between them, and I was

361
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:19.400
total spread eagle to where if I
would have tried to take one more step,

362
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.960
I would have fallen in the snow. So that's how far they were

363
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:26.440
uphill, But downhill they were eight
to ten feet apart. As if it

364
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:32.000
was running downhill or ran uphill and
walked downhill. We almost wonder if he

365
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:36.720
heard our truck or someone else's truck. We're not sure because that day we

366
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:40.079
were the only ones there. We
only saw one other vehicle the whole day,

367
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:41.960
and that was at the end of
the day because we ended up going

368
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:47.480
back to the spot where Todd had
that first sighting and found a nest in

369
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:51.039
that air because that snow had melted. So that was interesting too. And

370
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:55.119
but yeah, it gets a lot
of snow here in the winter because it's

371
00:26:55.160 --> 00:27:00.640
like a north basing road, so
it'll stay there sometimes till May, even

372
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:04.240
on lighter snow years. This show
is an extremely heavy snow year. There

373
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:10.160
were snow at Elk Valley because this
road goes literally Orleans is completely if you

374
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:15.400
go there, it's a thousand people
and it's forty five minutes north of Willow

375
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.279
Creek. So there are times where
you drive Highway ninety six from Willow Creek

376
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.920
and I've taken it all the way
to Waireka or to I five, but

377
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:29.480
especially from there to Psalm's Bar.
Sometimes will depending on the day, you

378
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:33.759
may only see one car pass by. That's in the summertime even And so

379
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.759
here you are with this road that
goes off right at Orleans, and it's

380
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:42.079
just this paved road that goes into
the middle of nowhere. It's thirty plus

381
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:45.720
miles long to the end of it. It's paved, and then you have

382
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:49.319
a lot of other roads off of
it, which Todd mentioned that they locked

383
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:55.039
the gate, so over five six
months of the year you're closed off until

384
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:59.039
some of these camps and stuff.
And it's a huge area toos it's not

385
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:04.640
a small area. It is gigantic. And so all those factors to gather

386
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:11.319
and to find something that was going
almost five feet up hill and eight to

387
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:14.960
ten feet downhill. We got video
of all of it. And when we

388
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:17.680
first saw it, and we were
saying one hundred yards, but we've been

389
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:21.240
looking at it again and it could
have been even further. It could have

390
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:23.319
been one hundred and fifty yards,
because when you're looking up a road in

391
00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:29.079
the middle of nowhere, you just
gaestimate it's one hundred yards, but it

392
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:33.559
could have very well been longer.
And we went up even two weeks later

393
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.079
after that and had made it up
to mile thirteen, because we made it

394
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.559
to mile ten on this day,
so we went up further and the snow

395
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:48.079
was really deep there and I ended
up hiking up aways several hundred yards up

396
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:51.400
that snow, and I found tracks
that looked very similar to the ones that

397
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:56.559
I had seen April thirtieth. It's
just that I took a couple pictures of

398
00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:59.799
those. I didn't take a video
because they were just harder because they had

399
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:03.720
been sitting in the snow for so
long, you just because snow can make

400
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.920
things change. But I did see
that foot, that toe, that big

401
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.839
toe that really stands out, and
it looked close to the same size,

402
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.279
so we know it wasn't a full
grown one, but we think it might

403
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:19.440
have been maybe a juvenile or something. But the fact that it was twelve

404
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:25.440
inches long and six inches wide.
And this is another thing too. I

405
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:30.160
don't know if you've seen Jonathan,
he did a seventeen minute documentary on our

406
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:34.119
He has all the videos in it. This is one thing I was mentioning,

407
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:38.279
if it was a human foot,
it had an arch, wouldn't you

408
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:42.440
see the ball of the foot and
the back of the foot, because we

409
00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:48.759
have an arch. These things do
not have an arch. So those things

410
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:55.000
alone tell you this was something amazing
that we found. Are you talking about

411
00:29:55.039 --> 00:30:00.240
Jonathan Easily Perhaps Jonathan Easily. Yeah, he did a documentary because they came

412
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:04.079
and visit us at Laos Camp,
him and Tate Horonymous because of these findings.

413
00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:11.000
And we sent them the videos of
the track waste and it's a seventeen

414
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:15.359
minute video and you check that out
and you can see all the video we

415
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:18.640
took too on that. But we'll
send this also because since this time,

416
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:23.000
we've put it all together so that
he can send it quickly, because we're

417
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:27.559
starting to realize we need to get
some kind of name going here and stuff,

418
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:34.359
because this is catching on and we're
just basically novice that kind of stumbled

419
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:37.400
into this, just having our little
bit of fun. And now we're realizing

420
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:41.200
while we've discovered a few things,
and I think we've had more activity than

421
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:45.559
we realize because we've had a lot
of activity over the last few years.

422
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:51.160
That just tell us that we're hitting
the right spots. Anyway, you mentioned

423
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:52.559
it, Doug, and I wrote
it down as I'm taking note to you

424
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.920
talked about going to a different area
in the same general vicinity and seeing what

425
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:00.640
you believe to be a nest.
What did that look black and what did

426
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:03.160
you guys find? Okay, would
you like to share that? Todd?

427
00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:08.920
Sure. On that day when we
found the prints, we drove back down

428
00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:15.119
that road that we had gone down
do monthing before and we cleared out a

429
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:19.160
big section. We got to the
area that we had the experience, so

430
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:22.359
we drove up behind it. There's
another road that drove up behind the area,

431
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:26.240
and we got up there and we
walked around, checked it out.

432
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:30.839
Then we drove up the road another
fifty yards and we found Doug was in

433
00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:36.200
back seat and yells, hey stop, and we saw these trees down.

434
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:41.440
The trees were looked like they were
naturally like a natural fall, a big

435
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.279
clump of trees, but it was
dug out or it was the branches were

436
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:49.279
broken off, he could sell they
were broken broken off and it was made

437
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:52.640
into a little cave. And we
found a couple of prints on the side

438
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.680
of the hill going down. Those
were pretty big, and yeah, we've

439
00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:02.240
that nest. It was probably a
good five feet in and probably ten feet

440
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:07.400
long. I got inside of it
and laid down, and they looked like

441
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.440
they had matted down the leaves and
made it a nice little bed. Obviously

442
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:15.200
it wasn't like a nest. I'm
sure it wasn't. That's where they were

443
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:17.480
there for a long time, but
maybe they just made it to hang out

444
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:22.359
for a little while. But what's
so amazing about that is the fact that

445
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:29.279
it was only a few hundred yards
from where we had that experience where he

446
00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:31.519
saw the fur and the tree shake
with all the snowfall down, because the

447
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:36.599
road went around behind there, and
it was a perfect bandage point because there

448
00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:39.200
had been an old logging road,
so you could see how something could easily

449
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:45.559
get to that cliff area, just
real easily and then be gone. But

450
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:47.640
at that point there was so much
snow we were hiking in we couldn't have

451
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:52.480
driven, but later we could.
We got some pictures of that too,

452
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:55.519
So if Todd sends you all the
stuff that he has put together on his

453
00:32:55.640 --> 00:33:00.759
computer, he's included those pictures and
there's some videos on it too, so

454
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:05.720
that'll be something that you might like
looking at, because it's not like the

455
00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:12.799
Olympic rainforests nests where they're made of
like huckleberry bushes. But it's definitely looks

456
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:16.480
like it was something made to at
least be a temporary location, and I

457
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:22.240
just find it here is that it
is only literally a couple hundred yards from

458
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:27.960
where that other event took place.
Doug, you mentioned this hindsight is definitely

459
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:31.079
twenty twenty when it comes to being
a novice and getting out in the woods

460
00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:36.680
and finding what you consider to be
possible evidence of sasquatch, because it's happened

461
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:40.000
to me several times here on my
property. Recently, I stumbled across what

462
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:44.119
I believe to be a footprint.
I've told the story before. I said

463
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:46.319
I wouldn't go into it in depth, but basically, on a hike looking

464
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:51.240
around, I looked down and see
what looks to be a footprint. So

465
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:53.200
I take a couple of pictures.
I had no casting material, I didn't

466
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:55.359
have anything with me, a tape, measure, nothing. All I had

467
00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:58.759
was my foot, so I put
my foot in for reference. I know

468
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:01.240
I've got a size eleven boot.
I snap a couple of pictures, and

469
00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:06.519
I keep going, but I find
some weird tree brakes and some rock stacks,

470
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:12.079
and what looks like a couple of
nest sites where these things are woven

471
00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:15.599
together. And like you said,
maybe it's not a permanent thing, but

472
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:17.719
it looks like something's been bedding down
in there. And I don't know how

473
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:23.400
anything outside of a human being or
something with thumbs could weave this together in

474
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:29.280
this configurations. I found that footprint, didn't cast it. It rained for

475
00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:31.880
three days afterwards, so I couldn't
get back to it with material to cast

476
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:37.679
it. And I don't know,
maybe two three weeks later, I find

477
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:42.800
another footprint on the property here that
I was able to cast. We were

478
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.000
talking before we went on the air. I was out of Idaho last month

479
00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:49.800
and speaking at an event with Cliff
Barrickman, doctor Jeff Meldrum, and Michael

480
00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.760
Freeman. And we go out for
drinks the first night we're there, and

481
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:57.559
I hand my phone to Cliff Barrickman
and I'm like, Cliff, take a

482
00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:00.920
look at these pictures. Let me
show you what I found. Cliff looks

483
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:02.960
at the first couple of pictures of
this what I believe to be a footprint,

484
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:07.119
and he goes, Dude, that's
definitely a sasquatch print. It's one

485
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:08.920
of the best ones I've ever seen. You should have casted that. And

486
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:13.320
I'm like, oh my god,
are you kidding me? Because of course

487
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:15.400
I'm skeptical about this, right,
I find something like that on my own

488
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:19.320
property, and the first thing I
go to, I'm an Ockham's Raiser kind

489
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:22.199
of guy. It's probably a bear, it's something else, or maybe somebody

490
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:25.760
got onto our property and has a
weird looking foot and decided to walk through

491
00:35:25.800 --> 00:35:30.559
through bear. I don't know,
but when you got somebody like Cliff,

492
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:32.559
and I trust Cliff implicitly. He's
been doing this for a long time,

493
00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:36.000
and he's looked at a lot of
pictures, and he's looked at a lot

494
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:38.159
of foot castings, and the first
thing out of his mouth is, Dude,

495
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:42.400
that's a sasquatch print. I was
blown away. Now the one I

496
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:44.480
casted, you know, I showed
him some pictures of that. I didn't

497
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:45.440
take the cast with me, but
I showed him some pictures. He was

498
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:49.719
like, Hey, that could be
a double bear step. I'm thinking the

499
00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:51.840
same thing. That's the first thing
I said when I put it out there

500
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:53.920
is that this could probably be a
bear double steping, because we know we

501
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:58.239
have black bear on the property.
We've ran into him, we've physically seen

502
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:00.599
them here, so we know they're
here. But I go and hike my

503
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:06.559
neighbor's property just about a week ago, and I'm hiking up on the back

504
00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:08.079
of this ridge and I've posted it
on social media. You guys can see

505
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:13.519
it on Instagram and out of our
social media. But I find a tepee

506
00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:20.599
structure that's clearly been made. It
is a huge teepee structure, and some

507
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:25.519
other weird things where trees have been
taken, saplings have been bent around and

508
00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:30.199
stuck underneath dead wood. There's no
way this happened naturally, if something with

509
00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:36.079
thumbs did that. And I find
two foot prints up there. I'm walking

510
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:38.760
and I clearly see that big toe
sticking out, and I'm on the back

511
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:43.679
of this ridge where I'm having a
hard time navigating, and me and I

512
00:36:43.719 --> 00:36:45.639
had three other people hiking with me. We were having a hard time navigating

513
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:50.920
and hiking boots. Nobody's up there
barefoot, And of course I didn't have

514
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:53.639
casting material, so I had to
go back the following day. Fortunately,

515
00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:57.320
it didn't rain, and I got
to cast those two prints, and I've

516
00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:00.159
casted four other prints on the property
than the last couple of weeks. I

517
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:04.119
haven't even talked about it on the
show. I'm not even posting on social

518
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:08.400
media because it's beginning to be ridiculous
how many footprints I'm finding all of a

519
00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:10.480
sudden, and I don't know what's
going on, or I don't know what's

520
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:14.000
causing it, but I'm casting it. And I know if you talk to

521
00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:16.000
Cliff, I think you guys had
said you would at least interviewed with Cliff

522
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:21.039
and Bobo. I know Cliff is
probably the first person to tell you you

523
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.639
got to cast everything that you come
across. That's one of the things that

524
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:29.119
I talked about with Cliff was these
casts that I'm doing. Some of them

525
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:31.800
are horrendous. They look great when
I take the pictures, they look great

526
00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:35.480
when I'm looking at them, and
then I pour the casting material and they

527
00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:38.519
come out just like a big gass
clump. It's like nothing there. And

528
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:42.960
surprisingly, when I told this to
Cliff, he's, dude, don't beat

529
00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:45.800
yourself up, because here's the thing
about this, and I'm giving this to

530
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:49.679
you guys because you're in the same
situation as me. You're not a professional

531
00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:53.360
Bigfoot researcher. But when you find
things, make sure you cast it.

532
00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:59.079
Because Cliff said to me, all
these perfect casts that you see that people

533
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:04.719
show pictures of and that are making
into the books, typically those may not

534
00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:08.199
be real. Honestly, if they
look too good to be true, they

535
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:12.960
probably are. And Cliff was like, if you're casting stuff that looks like

536
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:16.320
absolute shit when you get finished,
you're probably doing the right thing because those

537
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:21.719
are probably real prints because they don't
always get pressed in far enough to make

538
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:25.400
a good cast. Now, I
casted some just yesterday that are pretty impressive.

539
00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:30.639
They're probably three inch because of the
material that whatever this was stepped in.

540
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:34.719
So that's the first time I've been
able to cast really decent looking prints.

541
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:37.800
And I'm probably not going to show
them online because I'm not going to

542
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:38.880
put up with the haters. They
are going to say they're fakes. I'm

543
00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:44.159
just going to keep them to myself. But I encourage you to do whatever.

544
00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:45.000
And I want to ask this question, and note, I don't know

545
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:50.079
how feasible this is or if this
even crossed your mind at the time,

546
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:52.840
and either one of you guys are
both can answer this. Did you ever

547
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:55.480
think about possibly even going back later
that day or trying to go back the

548
00:38:55.519 --> 00:39:00.360
following day and cast them, or
was casting at that point just not even

549
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:05.719
on your radar. We think that
you could cast snow because of the weight

550
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:07.960
of the casting material, which we
talked to Clifton. He said, yet

551
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:14.599
it can be very hard casting.
And now you can buy us for material,

552
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:19.800
some kind of snow wax you spraying
there to hardens and then you can

553
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:24.000
put the I guess the law enforcement
uses it to ask tire prints and stuff,

554
00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:28.639
but we didn't think it was any
way to do it, so we

555
00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:32.800
didn't even We figured take pictures and
some videos. That's probably the best that

556
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:37.519
we could do at that moment.
However, this is our ace in the

557
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:45.440
hole in this whole situation because Bobo
immediately, not just Texas, he called

558
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:47.920
us and goes, I'm in Portland, I'm coming down. Those are the

559
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:52.880
most amazing prints I've ever seen.
Where'd you do that? And so we

560
00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:57.360
said, what's been raining a little
so we're worried that maybe they're going to

561
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:02.199
get muddled a little bit. Stay
tuned for more sasquatch Otsey right back after

562
00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:10.159
these messages. So what he did
is he sent a good friend of his

563
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:15.960
that he had done all kinds of
different activities including squatching for over forty years,

564
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:21.079
who lived in Happy Camp, which
was about probably about forty miles north

565
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:28.440
of there, and he came down
later that day and saw the Prince and

566
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:31.639
that's what stepping all over the place. He saw the Prince and he reported

567
00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:36.440
back to Bobo. They're real and
they are the best prince I've ever seen

568
00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:40.880
in my life. And they actually
dedicated that podcast to this man because his

569
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:45.639
name was Larry. He was a
logger by trade. He was actually going

570
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:51.639
to be highlighted in this documentary that
Bobo's doing of a minor and unfortunately he

571
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:54.679
had a heart attack just literally two
or three days after he witness those prints.

572
00:40:55.440 --> 00:41:00.800
He reported back to Bobo and that's
why they got are excited because at

573
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:06.440
first it was just a report that
after that then they knew this is legit

574
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:12.239
and they are legit backed. Honestly, I'm like you, and it sounds

575
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:15.039
like you are in an awesome spot. North Carolina too. Is you got

576
00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:22.239
the Appalachian mountains there. I've seen
pictures of North Carolina very remote and I

577
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:24.239
think these things are all over the
place. When you talk to people and

578
00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:28.400
explain to them, even if you
say it's three miles away from your house

579
00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:31.400
or one mile, they think,
ath, what's that? But try hiking

580
00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:37.239
that mile down ravines, up ridges. There are so many nooks and crannies,

581
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:39.519
and that's how it is in our
area. I've had a couple of

582
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:44.880
friends say that was just so many
miles up the road. Have you hiked

583
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:47.599
it. I'm a big time hiker, Like I mentioned before, I've been

584
00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:52.840
hiking the Pacific Crest Trail and I've
just hiked long miles. I've been all

585
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:57.360
over the Trinity Alps. Every turn
you take, and if you just go

586
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:00.519
off trail a little bit, it's
just it's like a whole different world.

587
00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:07.239
And I've heard those howls and I've
heard different things. We've heard tons of

588
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:10.840
tree knocks. We've had some amazing
other experiences too. And one of our

589
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:16.760
friends actually said he saw one and
that was in another place that we're actually

590
00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:21.599
going to go on Monday and look
there because we haven't been there for a

591
00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:23.719
while. We're hoping with the fires, maybe they moved back to that area

592
00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:28.519
because it seemed like they were there, then they moved on, so we'll

593
00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:31.559
see. Yeah, but we are
going to cast a lot more because,

594
00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:37.280
believe me, Cliffs banked us on
that one. But we had tape measures.

595
00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:38.639
That's one thing. We had our
tape measures. And we were like,

596
00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:44.440
so, which when you see something
like that, you just your mind

597
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:47.760
goes crazy and you don't you don't
think level headed. I'm just glad we

598
00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:52.159
took some video because that was the
most level headed thing we did. Especially

599
00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:55.679
when I took this track way up
the hill, I almost wish I would

600
00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:59.400
have taken it back down the hill. I did take it later down the

601
00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:02.559
hill, but we had already started
walking around. But I think, if

602
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:07.519
what ever happens again, which we
hope this isn't the greatest discovery we ever

603
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:12.519
had, because that's sometimes happens,
we're gonna be a little more levelheaded.

604
00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:14.880
This time. It was like you're
a kid in the candy store. It's

605
00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:17.960
like we were pinching ourselves. Are
we seeing what we're really seeing? We

606
00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:22.360
had the hope of finding something,
because we always do when we go we

607
00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:24.480
take a day trip or a chemic
trip. We want to see something,

608
00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:30.000
find something. But then when you
actually do you're still in shock because these

609
00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:35.079
things are just they're unbelievable. When
you come across something like this, or

610
00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:39.639
you hear tree knocks, or you
hear chatter or anything that you think is

611
00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:44.039
really to seth watch, it's hard
to believe. Yeah, and it's the

612
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:45.559
same thing for me. And I'm
glad you said that about the property.

613
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:50.760
People don't realize how remote you can
be. I can get in my car

614
00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:53.280
right now and drive ten minutes and
be at Walmart, right a supercenter,

615
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:58.360
get gas, go to a restaurant, go to Walmart. But if I

616
00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:00.719
leave out of my front door,
it takes me. And I'm in decent

617
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:04.559
shape and I'm a pretty good hiker, It'll take me a minimum of forty

618
00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:07.519
five minutes just to hike straight up
to the back of my property. Forty

619
00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:12.280
five minutes now, think about that. That's a long time to be walking.

620
00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:14.840
And like you said, there's a
lot that can go on and we

621
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:19.199
have forty acres. It's not a
huge property, but there's nothing around us

622
00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:22.400
but property. There's hundreds and hundreds
of acres of woods behind us and on

623
00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:25.880
either side of us, and across
the road that we used to get into

624
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:31.159
our driveway. So it's a remote
place. But I too, like you

625
00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:34.760
when I find something on the property, and like I said, it's just

626
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:37.320
happened the last couple of days.
You guys are the only people that I've

627
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:40.920
told that I found and casted to
more footprints that turned out to be really

628
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:45.800
impressive in my opinion, But I
don't share it with people because the second

629
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:50.280
you do, even though you took
video, even though you took photographs,

630
00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:52.880
it had you brought out the measuring
tapes. I've even done that. I've

631
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:57.000
posted pictures of some of the stuff
that I've casted here in the past,

632
00:44:57.639 --> 00:45:01.400
and there's pictures with the the tape
out showing how big, how wide,

633
00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:05.000
how long, And people don't even
look at it, and they're like,

634
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:07.280
where's your tape measure? Why?
And there a tape measure if you look

635
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:09.960
two more pictures there, dude,
there's a tape measure. So it gets

636
00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:13.960
to be to the point where I
don't even want to put the stuff out

637
00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:16.800
there anymore. And I used to
didn't understand that why would somebody have evidence

638
00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:22.800
of bigfoot sasquatch? People have trail
cam pictures, people have videos. I'm

639
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:25.719
convinced. I know I've talked to
Cliff. He has seen some of the

640
00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:32.400
best trailcam pictures ever of Bigfoot that
nobody outside of Cliff and maybe five of

641
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:37.159
the people will ever see because the
person refuses to release it for that very

642
00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:40.199
reason. And the second that I
started finding things of my own, I

643
00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:45.239
now understand why, because there are
so many people out there, keyboard vigilantes

644
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:47.840
that just want to beat you up
anytime you put your stuff out there.

645
00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:52.440
So I'm just not doing it anymore. I'm going to keep it for myself

646
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:55.920
and it is what it is.
And I know that probably pisses people off

647
00:45:55.960 --> 00:46:00.000
when I say that, but I'm
just at that point because I understand where

648
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:04.760
you guys are at. I found
prints. The other thing you guys found

649
00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:09.039
a trackway with probably one hundred plus
prints. I have found on two different

650
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:14.239
occasions. I found one single foot
print in the mud, and the first

651
00:46:14.239 --> 00:46:16.440
thing people say is, how can
there only be one print? Oh,

652
00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:20.800
it must be a big foot on
a pogo stick. I've literally made follow

653
00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:24.480
up videos because I walk my property
every day and I have four legged dogs.

654
00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:29.239
All three of my dogs have four
legs, and every time I go

655
00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:32.159
down a trail, I'll come to
a muddy spot right next to some dry

656
00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:37.039
spots. There's one footprint of a
dog right there in the middle and no

657
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:39.400
other prints, so it can happen. And I said all that to say,

658
00:46:40.159 --> 00:46:44.719
no matter what, document, take
the photographs, take the videos,

659
00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:49.039
and if you can carry some casting
material. I now have a backpack that

660
00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:52.159
has nothing but my casting stuff in
it, and I do not hike anymore

661
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:57.639
without having my casting material with me. So if I run up on something,

662
00:46:57.679 --> 00:47:00.760
I'm definitely going to cast it again, whether nobody eutsees it or not.

663
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:02.760
I know that had to be exciting
for you guys. Obviously you said

664
00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:06.760
it's taken off for you. Guys, you're doing podcasts, you're talking about

665
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:08.400
it. What's next for you,
guys? Are you just going to continue

666
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:13.199
to go out there and have these
experiences. I'm always curious what makes people

667
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:15.159
tick once you see one of these
things, or once you get that piece

668
00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:17.920
of evidence. Some people just say, Okay, that's enough for me.

669
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:22.119
I'm convinced. Is that the case
for you guys? Todd will start with

670
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:24.119
you. Is it driven you to
go out and find more stuff and want

671
00:47:24.119 --> 00:47:29.000
to have more experiences? What's next
for you? Man? Our main purpose

672
00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:32.000
is going out in the woods,
camping, enjoying each other and drawing our

673
00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:37.280
families and having fun. The Bigfoot
research is secondary, but yeah, we're

674
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:44.119
still gonna keep going camping and we're
gonna do our semi research. We do

675
00:47:44.239 --> 00:47:49.840
have in my truck now, I
carry a bag full of casting materials,

676
00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:53.400
tape, measure different things, so
that way we have it at my truck

677
00:47:53.480 --> 00:47:58.119
all the time. So if we're
out there, we have the children need

678
00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:02.760
to do cast things, and we're
facing there's one person online that just keeps

679
00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:07.440
ragging on this prince saying they're fake, it's a hoax and stuff, and

680
00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:10.239
there's just no way that someone could
have hoaxed hoax. We did hoped that

681
00:48:10.440 --> 00:48:14.599
for sure, we got there at
nine o'clock in the morning, we would

682
00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:16.480
have had time to hoax and if
we even tried, which we would even

683
00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:22.360
waste our time hoaxing and spending in
a couple of hours trying to make Actually

684
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:25.840
these tracks probably would have taken some
of an all day to hoax if even

685
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:30.480
if they could. But yeah,
we're still going to keep going out.

686
00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:32.599
And I said, we were going
on Monday through an area that we've been

687
00:48:32.639 --> 00:48:38.440
before, and hopefully we can find
the more evidence and my whole goal.

688
00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:44.639
I would love to see one.
Hopefully that wouldn't stop me from going out

689
00:48:44.639 --> 00:48:49.199
into the forest, but I would
love to see one just for my own

690
00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:53.880
curiosity. Knowing that good mayte my
wife I think I'm crazy, and she

691
00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:59.960
that she's never gone out with us
as when we go on our day trip,

692
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:06.199
so she's ever had any real experiences. So I would love for her

693
00:49:06.199 --> 00:49:08.039
to see you in two just to
approve to her that, yeah, these

694
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:12.239
things are real. So what about
you, Doug? Is the same thing

695
00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:14.719
for you? Are you still driven
to go out and find more stuff and

696
00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:20.679
you want to have that experience,
that close up experience that everybody craves first

697
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:24.199
and foremost. I'm a real outdoors
guy, but I don't hunt. That's

698
00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:28.280
one thing that which doesn't make sense. But I just love the outdoors.

699
00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:35.320
I love being in the wilderness.
Just creation around me is so amazing.

700
00:49:35.480 --> 00:49:38.840
I just love it, and so
I'm going to continue. I am getting

701
00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:44.079
older, so I realize even though
I still am able to hike long distances,

702
00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:49.159
like for instance of Buddy and mine
hike sixty miles in four days Yep

703
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:53.119
in the Trinity Alps and up and
down huge ridges and so forth, and

704
00:49:53.559 --> 00:49:58.480
I did the Southern Sierra last year. Fortunately, this year we were going

705
00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:00.599
to continue the PCT. We said, let's just take a year off and

706
00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:04.840
hike locally, and I'm really glad
I did because this year was an amazing

707
00:50:05.119 --> 00:50:09.079
hard snow. And I'm not a
mountaineer. I've done winter backpacking, but

708
00:50:09.159 --> 00:50:12.920
I'm just not into it at my
age anymore. So I do some car

709
00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:15.519
camping. I built myself a little
camper, so it's fun to go car

710
00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:19.800
camping and do these hikes. But
also I go backpacking at least two or

711
00:50:19.840 --> 00:50:23.320
three times minimum a year. We
probably get to the woods once a month

712
00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:28.920
on the minimum, so that's another
thing. We are regularly going up there,

713
00:50:29.039 --> 00:50:32.519
sometimes twice a month, and we're
fortunate. We're only sixty miles from

714
00:50:32.519 --> 00:50:38.760
these forty fifty miles to sixty miles
from these hot spots, and there's probably

715
00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:44.559
even stuff happening even closer than that. So I'm not going to stop because

716
00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:47.000
I'm just curious, because i just
feel like there's so much humans do not

717
00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:52.199
know. They try to act like
they know everything, but they don't know

718
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:57.440
anything, and so I'm going to
continue on. We are talking right now.

719
00:50:57.559 --> 00:51:01.920
We're right now, we're taking about
starting up a little website. We're

720
00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:06.960
in the process of it. It's
going to be Bigfoot Wilderness Research, so

721
00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:10.679
it would be the BWR. So
I guess since we're putting it out here

722
00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:15.400
on your podcast, we'll have to
really up the ante on that. And

723
00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:17.559
Todd got a free drone, which
we're trying to figure out. We're not

724
00:51:17.679 --> 00:51:22.480
technologically advanced, so we're trying to
get it's so imposed. It's the Cadillac

725
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:28.079
of drones that he got for free
from one of his relatives that used it

726
00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:31.599
just for a music video. And
we're almost there, it's not quite running.

727
00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:36.840
And then we're going to get some
sound equipment too. We've done that

728
00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:40.960
too. We've recorded or used like
recorded sounds of chattering. I have an

729
00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:45.039
AMP because I play guitar. That
is battery power. We've put that at

730
00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:50.159
the top of ridges. We do
tree knocks, but we're getting away from

731
00:51:50.239 --> 00:51:54.119
some of that only because I think
they know humans are just trying to mimic

732
00:51:54.199 --> 00:52:00.159
them. So we just are going
to keep investigating, not going to it.

733
00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:04.039
I'd like to see one too,
Yeah, I'm right there with you.

734
00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:07.360
I'd like to see it at maybe
fifty miles an hour and me driving

735
00:52:07.400 --> 00:52:09.480
by in a car. I think
I'd be okay with it. I will

736
00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:13.360
definitely post the stuff that we've talked
about, the pictures in the video.

737
00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:15.639
You guys can head over to our
website Paranormal World Productions dot com check out

738
00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:19.559
the Sasquatch Odyssey blog at the top
of the page. We'll have everything linked

739
00:52:19.559 --> 00:52:22.559
there. I may even linked to
Jonathan's video on YouTube. I'll shoot him

740
00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:24.920
a text and see if maybe I
can get some audio and stuff from that

741
00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:29.519
and maybe included in here for you
