1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:39,159
I'm Matt and this is Bigfoot Crossroads. I'm not a I'm not a bigfoot

2
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,719
hunter. I was never a bigfoot
hunter. I didn't really even think very

3
00:00:42,799 --> 00:00:47,359
much of it, to be perfectly
honest. And I do a lot of

4
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:51,439
overlanding, and you saw the videos
of my channel. I spent probably about

5
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,719
eight months out of the year in
the wilderness, either in the mountains,

6
00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:59,880
the desert, the forest, et
cetera. And I started doing this about

7
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:07,879
twelve years ago. And twelve years
ago I had a square body jeep and

8
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:11,200
I was always taken off and my
girlfriend was getting kind of aggravated that I

9
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:15,319
didn't take her with me, but
her work schedule didn't allow, so it

10
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:21,400
is what it is. One night, we got a long weekend and I

11
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,840
said, hey, how about this. Why don't we just take a jump

12
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,280
in the jeep, bring the dog
with us, and we'll head up north.

13
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,439
We'll head up to Vermont. It's
about an hour and a half drive

14
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:36,599
from where I live, no big
deal. We headed out of here later

15
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,200
than I would have been liked because
my ex was always late. So we

16
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:48,959
headed out of here around seven pm
Eastern Standard time and headed up to Vermont.

17
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:53,439
I had done a little bit of
research on places to camp up there,

18
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:59,359
someplace on a mountain. I wasn't
a huge Vermont guy at all,

19
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,920
so I wasn't really really familiar with
the area. So I did a little

20
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,439
bit of research. I found a
campground, seemed like it was okay,

21
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,240
and we headed out and it's a
long long drive. You got to drive

22
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,120
from Massachusetts to New Hampshire to Vermont. We make it to Vermont. It's

23
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:23,280
already nice and dark, and I'm
not exactly positive of where I'm going,

24
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,639
but I have a good idea.
So what we're doing is basically just driving

25
00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:30,919
up. We're driving up and up, We're getting higher in elevation, higher

26
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:36,680
on elevation, and we're on this
road that is allegedly bringing us into a

27
00:02:36,759 --> 00:02:40,080
national park, but I've never been
there, and I'm not positive because it's

28
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,599
dark out and there's no lights.
It was kind of a trip, no

29
00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:50,879
pun intended. Yeah, But we
get up there and off the highway,

30
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:57,199
off the main road onto this road. We were probably driving for twenty miles

31
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,319
straight up, and then we finally
found the camp ground and it was unattended.

32
00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:06,280
There was nobody around and nothing like
that. I grew up in Lynn,

33
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:08,319
Massachusetts, which is a fairly tough
town, so you have to have

34
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:13,400
really good situational awareness. And I
also learned that in the military and et

35
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,800
cetera. So forth, we get
there and the first thing that I noticed

36
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,879
is this is camping season, and
yet there's nobody at this. You know,

37
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:25,680
the parking lot for the campground.
You know your park your car,

38
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,639
You throw your gear, you know, in a backpack or something, and

39
00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:32,479
you hike in a little bit,
not really far, but you can't see

40
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:38,319
your vehicle. I noticed that the
parking lot was overgrown with weeds, and

41
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:44,599
there was broken glass from automobiles on
the ground, and I'm thinking, dude,

42
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,680
this is Vermont, man, don't
worry about this. No one's gonna

43
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,639
hit the jeep while you're gone.
You're good to go. Don't worry about

44
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:57,360
it. So I love everything in
And we had gotten a report of rain

45
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,439
coming for that night, and I'm
incredibly survival conscious, etc. So I

46
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,039
set up a tarp. I set
up the tent, I dig a trench

47
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,520
around it so it will direct the
water away if any water falls in the

48
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,159
middle of the night. And I
also put a tarp up so she my

49
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,279
ex had absolutely zero camping chops.
She just didn't know what to do.

50
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,279
So I did it all and it
took about an hour and a half.

51
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,560
So we got there and it was
dark by the time I had the tent

52
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,240
and everything set up, it was
darker and now I got to start a

53
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:32,759
fire. So I go around and
I scavenge up a bunch of wood because

54
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,120
I'm not positive if this is a
national forest, and I know you don't

55
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:42,199
cut wood down it's a no no, right, So I run around,

56
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,680
I scavenge up a bunch of wood, and I get a roaring fire going.

57
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,399
So it's myself, my ex who
is armed at the time. She's

58
00:04:48,439 --> 00:04:51,720
got her side arm with her,
and we have an eighty pound pitfull terrier

59
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,600
with us. And I've done this
a million times, it's no big deal.

60
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:00,560
We set up the campground, we
get the fire gun, and we're

61
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:10,040
standing there and it's I've got this
picture in my mind. I've tried.

62
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:13,800
I've tried to describe it in videos, and I think I fail at it.

63
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,680
We're standing there and I got this
most. I mean, it's it's

64
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,319
a nice night this, you know, the sky's fairly clear, the rain

65
00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:25,399
hasn't come yet. It's a nice
setup. You know, nobody's around.

66
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,439
You got the fire going, we're
protected, we've got the dog. Everything's

67
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:35,759
good. We're standing there and I
had the most overwhelming feeling of dread ever

68
00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:42,399
come over me. And I didn't
say a word, but I looked at

69
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:46,800
her, and she's looking at me, and apparently she can tell that something's

70
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,800
wrong, or she's feeling it as
well. I can't guarantee she felt the

71
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:55,399
same thing, but she said she
did. The dog runs back to the

72
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,199
jeep. That's never happened in a
million years. I've never you know.

73
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,439
The dog was like, I am
out of here. And then I heard

74
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:09,839
this noise. This is the part
I have a hard time describing. It

75
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,839
sounded like somebody from the from the
old days, back in the fifties,

76
00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:18,879
a housewife worried about her children,
wringing her hands like with a dish rag,

77
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,759
if that makes any sense. That's
the only thing I can think of

78
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:30,000
to describe it. Yeah, kind
of the squeaking of the cloth kind yeah,

79
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,279
yeah, yeah, yeah, except
the cloth was a chord of firewood,

80
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:39,560
and whoever was ringing it was huge. You could hear I know what

81
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:43,040
I know it an elk sounds like
I know what a mounta lion sounds like

82
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,240
when it's sneaking up on you in
the Colorado. I know what bears moose

83
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,480
because we've got tons of them right
up north. I know what all these

84
00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:55,879
animals sound like. I had never
heard this before. And you couple that

85
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,800
with the dog bailing on us,
and both of us all of a sudden

86
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:05,600
get in this unbelievable, overwhelming feeling
of dread. I pulled down the tents,

87
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:10,519
I wrapped everything up like I wasn't
even there through it in the vehicle,

88
00:07:10,839 --> 00:07:15,040
and we were out of there.
Now we got nowhere to go,

89
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,279
and it's almost eleven o'clock at night. And the bonus to all that is,

90
00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:21,279
I don't know where I am,
So it's even better. Now we're

91
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:26,839
driving around in the dark on a
mountain where something just freaked us in the

92
00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:34,360
dog out so high emotion. You're
in an unfamiliar area, and from from

93
00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:39,439
what I understand about you, I
mean, obviously I don't know you personally

94
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,839
or anything, but I'm guessing this
isn't something you would typically do. You

95
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:48,839
wouldn't typically pull down camp like that
in hall Ass, not in a million

96
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:56,000
years, not in a million years, And it's it's it's only happened to

97
00:07:56,079 --> 00:08:00,519
me twice. The other time was
I got chased off by online. It

98
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,800
would not go away. He was
a problem in the whole town up in

99
00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:07,120
Colorado, so it wasn't just me. But this time this was me,

100
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:13,040
somebody else and an animal. And
the animal was the first. I don't

101
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,040
I don't know if she was the
first to respond. It might have hit

102
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,639
her at the same time it hit
me. But I mean like it was

103
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:26,000
like it was like humidity. It
just came all over me and it was

104
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,480
right. I don't even know how
to describe it, impending feeling of doom,

105
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:37,159
something bad. And then we heard
something crushing sticks or logs, large

106
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,799
ones, like just crushing him like
a wood chipper without the wood chipper noise,

107
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:48,720
if that makes sense. So we
get in the car, we bail.

108
00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:52,960
We're driving for a while and I
don't know where we are, but

109
00:08:52,039 --> 00:08:56,200
we're going down. I know.
On the way in, we drove for

110
00:08:56,519 --> 00:08:58,879
twenty miles going up, so going
down is at least going to get a

111
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,840
get us away from this. Plus
now it's late. We're kind of freaked

112
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,600
out because this has never happened.
I don't know how to explain myself to

113
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:11,600
her, and we need a place
to sleep for the night. So we're

114
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,200
driving along, and we're driving along, and then all of a sudden,

115
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,000
I just happened to look up through
the windshield and I pulled over the jeep

116
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,759
and she saw it as well.
And I don't know why we don't have

117
00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:26,600
video or anything that because it was
only twelve years ago, but we didn't.

118
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,399
I don't know how. Now I
get why people say I didn't even

119
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:33,360
think to take a picture. I
didn't even think to take Yeah, it

120
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,159
doesn't even cross your mind that at
the time, whenever all this is happening,

121
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,320
I guess not. And that's why
I keep GoPros on my helmet now,

122
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,919
so I've always got one on me. So I get out of the

123
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,759
jeep, she gets out of the
jeep, and I looked up. In

124
00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:52,320
Boston, we have a place called
the New England Museum of Science, and

125
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:58,080
they've got an astronomy area where you
go in a room that's got a dome

126
00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:03,200
over it. Yeah, they've got
this massive, massive contraption that's about the

127
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:09,000
size of a refrigerator that spins around
and creates a solar system in the building.

128
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,960
Except it's perfect. You know,
there's no clouds. It's perfect.

129
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,879
Yeah. We got out of the
truck and looked up at the sky.

130
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,559
I've been watching the sky. I'm
fifty five years old. I've been watching

131
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:26,080
the sky since I was nine.
I think a lot of astrophotography pictures they're

132
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,600
on my YouTube channel that you might
have seen or whatever. I have never

133
00:10:30,639 --> 00:10:37,879
seen a sky like this before or
since. It was just literally otherworldly.

134
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:43,840
It was just so bright and vivid. It didn't look real. Are the

135
00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:48,360
two things connected? I have no
idea, but I mean, two crazy

136
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:54,679
things that have never happened before happened
within thirty minutes of each other. So

137
00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:56,879
we look at it, and it
seemed to have a calming effect because we

138
00:10:56,879 --> 00:11:01,320
weren't quite It wasn't the sense of
urgency, like we gotta get out of

139
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,799
here, even though we don't know
where we're going. It kind of it

140
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:09,639
kind of melted away a little bit. And as we're driving we start to

141
00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:13,639
get into uh, like the small
it's it was. It's a town called

142
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:20,600
Leicester or Leicster, Vermont and there
I'll tell you in a minute, small

143
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:24,000
town, small town, New England. We finally get into uh some some

144
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,639
houses start popping up on the left
and right every every now and again.

145
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,639
You know. Now we're coming down
the mountain. We're in the foothills.

146
00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:37,279
There's some residences around and my girl, my girlfriend points and says, dude,

147
00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:41,279
do you see that? And I'm
like, what's up. We look

148
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:46,440
over and there's like a massive tree, a perfectly shaped, massive tree that's

149
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:52,679
all lit up, like it's got
strictly white Christmas lights all over it.

150
00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:58,039
The problem was, there was no
Christmas lights on it. They weren't globe

151
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,919
worms, they weren't fireflies, nothing
to that effect. This was a constant,

152
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,600
steady light. And she saw it
before I did it. I'm sometimes

153
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:11,559
I've been called the conspiracy theorist in
certain arenas here and there. She isn't.

154
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,519
She's a professional that works in Boston. She's been in the same place

155
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:20,919
for a thousand years to this day. I have no clue what we were

156
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:26,440
looking at. I drove close to
the tree because now I'm starting to freak

157
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,799
out, because how come ever,
since about forty five minutes ago, we

158
00:12:30,879 --> 00:12:33,960
live in bizarro world? Now everything
is just crazy, you know what I

159
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:39,000
think? Yeah, this is solutely
crazy, dude, And like obviously you're

160
00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:43,919
familiar with eyeshine and all that.
Like, absolutely nothing like you've ever seen

161
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:50,000
before. There was thousands of little
lights in this tree. Maybe that that

162
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,639
might be an exaggeration. I don't
want to do that, right, but

163
00:12:52,759 --> 00:12:58,080
a lot. There was at least
two hundred, maybe a thousand. There

164
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,399
was a lot. It was a
trip. I drove the jeep up close

165
00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:05,159
enough because she wanted to see if
it was someone had ran extension courts because

166
00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:09,960
this was on This was in a
field, you know, near houses,

167
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:15,480
but in a field, nothing like
that. We get up to the tree,

168
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,399
the lights go out. It's all
over. We're apparently just completely crazy.

169
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,559
Now we get run out of camp. The sky looks like the Boston

170
00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:26,960
Museum of Science, and now trees
are lighting up. Cool. This is

171
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,399
perfect. Now, you know,
this is totally normal. This is what

172
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:35,080
I wanted to do. Yeah.
Nice relaxing in the evening at the campsite.

173
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,879
Yeah. Absolutely. So I continue
down this road and we come to

174
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:45,200
a crossroad which is main street in
Leicester of Amont, and right in front

175
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,320
of us is a hotel. Perfect
because now it's like eleven thirty pushing quarter

176
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,879
or twelve. It's late. You
know, she worked that she worked the

177
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,759
night shift the day before, and
I'm just old than I wanted to go

178
00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:01,639
to sleep even twelve years ago,
I was still old. I go to

179
00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:07,360
sleep early. So and neither one
of us drink or do drugs. Just

180
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,919
in case anybody's wondering about that.
So long story longer. We get to

181
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,879
the hotel, check in, blah
blah blah, all as well. Wake

182
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,559
up the next morning and I'm dying
for breakfast. There's a diner. I

183
00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:24,639
noticed there's all sorts of there's all
sorts of cool little shots. We didn't

184
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:28,559
see him pulling in the night before
because it's a dark town. For whatever

185
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,399
reason, it's not all lit up
at night, you know. I grabbed

186
00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:37,919
breakfast and I said to the woman, and I'm very careful how I ask

187
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,720
people. I don't lead them,
you know, I don't want to put

188
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:45,799
any ideas in their heads. I
said, hi, you know, I

189
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,519
placed my order, and then I
said, um, do you guys ever

190
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,480
have anything strange happening around here?
You know, anything weird? She said,

191
00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:58,000
what like Bigfoot? And I went
maybe, I don't. I don't

192
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,720
know, you know what I mean? Yeah? And I walked out there

193
00:15:01,039 --> 00:15:07,039
going holy cow, like she didn't
said the first thing out of her mouth,

194
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,240
like it was no big deal.
And then she said it. One

195
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,600
of the customers like, oh yeah, we got it all the time around

196
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,600
here. Wow, So that's great, that's good to know, good to

197
00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:20,080
know. I grabbed my order,
I head back out to the jeep because

198
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,879
she's watching the dog and I said, you know, here's a breakfast.

199
00:15:22,919 --> 00:15:24,039
And I said, you're not gonna
believe this. And she said, yeah,

200
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,840
whatever you're gonna say, you're not
gonna believe this. I said,

201
00:15:28,879 --> 00:15:33,320
what's up. She pointed right across
the street, and there's a Your listeners

202
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,080
can look this up lights to the
Vermont. They call it a gorilla statue.

203
00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:43,120
There's a I don't know twenty five
foot tall statue of big big Foot

204
00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:46,039
in the middle of this town holding
a Volkswagen VW beetle over his head.

205
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,320
It's still there to this day.
They call it a gorilla, but it

206
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:56,639
is it. It's in the entire
town. There was big Foot tracks on

207
00:15:56,679 --> 00:16:03,240
the fences, Bigfoot signs, bigot
lives here, big Foot cross absolutely everywhere.

208
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,039
And we didn't notice when we rolled
in. We had no idea whatsoever

209
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,919
at all, you know, but
it really made me start to think about

210
00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:18,159
maybe that's why that Freeze National Forest
camping parking lot and camping area was completely

211
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:25,879
empty, overgrown with broken glass.
Apparently there's an aggressive something or other here.

212
00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:33,600
So that's that was in a what
less than twelve hour period. All

213
00:16:33,639 --> 00:16:37,279
of this. We eat breakfast and
I said, hey, let's not ruin

214
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,080
this. Why don't we head back
up there and I'm gonna see if I

215
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,720
can find some footprints. I'm not
a big foot hunter, researcher, nothing

216
00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:49,240
like that at the time, whatsoever
at all. But now these people are

217
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,679
saying this, and they've got a
giant statue in the middle of the town.

218
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,200
I gotta go look. Yeah,
it sounds like something out of King

219
00:16:56,279 --> 00:17:00,919
Kong. You know. Well it's
funny because it does look like King Kong,

220
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,599
but you can tell what it is. Yeah. We drive all the

221
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,000
way back up there, and it
was a long ride. I think we

222
00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:14,039
went up and elevate. We were
in the Green Mountains and apparently a Green

223
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,960
Mountains is incredibly active, and I
had no clue. It wasn't my thing.

224
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,440
You know, if you're not looking
into stuff like that, you don't

225
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:26,519
really know about it until you do, you know. Yeah, after eleven

226
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:32,960
years, maybe eleven and a half
years. Her and I had been apart

227
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,799
amicably for years, and we didn't
talk regularly at all. You know,

228
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,480
she's got a different I'm always on
the road. I'm never actually around.

229
00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:45,079
I'm usually in the Rockies or Sierras
or wherever. I hit her up and

230
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:51,279
said, hey, remember that night
in Vermont. What do you remember about

231
00:17:51,319 --> 00:17:53,400
it? And that's all I said. I'm not leading her, I'm not

232
00:17:53,519 --> 00:18:00,440
baiting her, Just what do you
remember? And she writes, verbati the

233
00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:03,960
story I just told you, and
that's exactly what I remember. The chances

234
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:10,960
of both of us remembering everything down
to the letter is crazy, but apparently

235
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:15,519
that. I always wondered how people
called into a podcast or they were in

236
00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:18,279
a live stream or something like that
and they can remember and you know,

237
00:18:18,319 --> 00:18:22,640
the color of the bark on the
tree, and I'm like, that's ridiculous,

238
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,839
you know. Yeah, Yeah,
I was ten years old. I'm

239
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,720
sixty five now, but I remember
what color the grass was, you know.

240
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,599
Yeah. We get back up to
the campground. It took quite a

241
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,559
while. We're in the Green Mountains. We were about a thousand feet above

242
00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:40,079
the town, so we weren't way
up in the mountains, but it's still

243
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,240
called the Green Mountains, so it
is what it is. I find my

244
00:18:44,319 --> 00:18:47,440
way back to the campground. The
dog will not get out of the car

245
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,119
today. That makes no sense because
since we checked out of the hotel,

246
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,839
she sat in the car while I
ordered breakfast. Well we ate breakfast.

247
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,880
It set us she hasn't been out
of the car yet. We're surrounded by

248
00:19:00,039 --> 00:19:02,359
trees and the dog doesn't want to
get out of the car. That's never

249
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:07,640
happened before. All right, Cool. I don't know what wooden knocks are.

250
00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:12,680
I don't know what vocalizations are.
I don't smell anything crazy, but

251
00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:17,519
I know that if this was a
big foot I bet you it's going to

252
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:22,640
leave big footprints. You know That's
what I'm thinking, You know what I

253
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:27,440
mean. It's all in her name. So I go up there and I

254
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,559
started poking around. She stays in
the jeep because the dog doesn't want to

255
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,599
leave. So, okay, cool, I go up there. But sadly,

256
00:19:34,839 --> 00:19:41,559
it was the end of spring,
almost summertime, and the foliage up

257
00:19:41,599 --> 00:19:48,599
there was intense. It's very,
very similar to the Pacific Northwest. You

258
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,680
know how you can't find a single
footprint up there no matter what, because

259
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,519
everything is covered with the same thing
in Vermont, except it's moss and ferns

260
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,000
and right where I believed it was
standing because it wasn't all that far from

261
00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:07,759
us. I don't know why I
know this. I could be completely wrong.

262
00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:15,480
I was married before, but I
couldn't find a single prince and I

263
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:22,880
guess that was pretty much the end
of that. And it was just an

264
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:29,960
absolute trip. That was that one
time in Vermont. And again I put

265
00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:33,920
videos up on my channel about Bigfoot. Since I've actually gone over Saint Helen's

266
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,160
in a helicopter looking etc. I
put a little effort in At the time

267
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,599
I knew nothing about it. Wasn't
looking because I was just looking for footprints.

268
00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:45,960
I should have been looking for,
you know, twisted off trees,

269
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,920
etc. But apparently it's a very, very hot spot and there's a lot

270
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:55,559
of caves in that area as well, for whatever that's worth. You know,

271
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,400
it's kind of crazy what you're talking
about, because I know in one

272
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,960
of your later videos that you recently
published, you know, you ran across

273
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:11,400
an interesting area and you hear people
in the big Foot world all the time

274
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,599
talk about limb formations and one that
comes up time and time again. Are

275
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:22,519
tree twists where it looks like something
has just like taken a tree and twisted

276
00:21:22,519 --> 00:21:26,839
it until it snapped. And you
can actually sometimes even see, like you

277
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,680
know, the fibers of the tree
itself twisted on itself. And that sound

278
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,839
that you're describing, I'm wondering if
that's what you heard, something twisting a

279
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:41,079
tree. You know, it's crazy
after all this time, after all this

280
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,839
research, I never thought of that, But what you just said makes perfect

281
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:51,519
sense. It sounded like somebody wringing
their hands or twisting a tree. I

282
00:21:51,559 --> 00:21:53,680
just didn't look for it, you
know, I was looking for the footprints.

283
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,640
So that's brilliant. Man. I
never thought of that. That's that's

284
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,799
exactly what I was trying to right, Something was twisting big wood you could

285
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:08,640
hit, you could tell the other
stuff though the tree and the way the

286
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,599
sky looked. I mean, I
don't have an explanation for that, but

287
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:21,240
it's just I mean, it can't
just be coincidence that it happened right then

288
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,200
in the same location as that event. And like I mean, one person

289
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:30,519
could see something and think that's kind
of crazy, but like both of you

290
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:34,680
saw it, and why would the
sky like stand out to you if if

291
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,119
there wasn't something kind of weird about
it. I'm not one of those people

292
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:45,599
that think Bigfoot gets dropped off by
UFOs and so forth. I'm just I

293
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,920
also don't believe it's a you know, an undiscovered monkey. I think bigfoot's

294
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,880
a little bit. It's been around
a long long time. They know what

295
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,440
it is. You know, we're
the only country in the world that has

296
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,480
a tape. But we deny it, you know, like every other country,

297
00:22:59,519 --> 00:23:00,640
like, yeah we apes, No, nope, nothing is the heir.

298
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,880
Folks keep it moving, you know. And yet more and more people,

299
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:11,039
ever since the pandemic occurred, more
and more people do what I do,

300
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,240
which means they go to places where
no one else is around, and

301
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,559
they with cameras and they do run
into stuff like this. It's getting pretty

302
00:23:18,599 --> 00:23:30,319
it's getting pretty crazy. But I
ran into this guy. I'm driving at

303
00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:34,240
a ninety seven land Cruiser on thirty
seven inch tires, a six inch lift.

304
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:40,000
It's supercharged, and it's loaded down. It's my house basically, with

305
00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:45,160
all my gear, my drones,
my computers, all my gear, and

306
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,200
I'm driving through the rockies at night. If you know anything about land cruisers.

307
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:55,240
You can't kill them because you can't
go over fifty miles an hour and

308
00:23:55,319 --> 00:24:03,440
you cannot climb a mountain even with
a super charger. I'm driving westbound going

309
00:24:03,559 --> 00:24:11,400
to You're a Colorado when I say
Vermont Sky was lit up. I've been

310
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:17,720
to Death Valley numerous times, simply
and only for astral photography shots of the

311
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,759
Milky Way. I've been to the
Colorado Rockies. I've been to the darkest

312
00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:25,880
places in Texas where you know,
you go so south you run into the

313
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,240
cartels, etc. Seriously, which
is lame, but it is what it

314
00:24:29,319 --> 00:24:37,079
is. I've seen Christine dark skies
and none of them. This sky made

315
00:24:37,079 --> 00:24:41,440
me go what the f and pull
over? And then she said the same

316
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:47,759
thing. I have never seen one
like this since or before. And she

317
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,519
saw it as well, you know, And I don't know why we didn't

318
00:24:49,559 --> 00:24:52,240
take a picture. I just it
was a weird night. As you just

319
00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:56,599
heard, it was a very strange
night. But is there a correlation between

320
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,920
the skies lighting up and us getting
run out of camp? Is there a

321
00:25:02,599 --> 00:25:07,039
let's not forget about the tree that
was lit up and then it wasn't you

322
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,680
know? Yeah? Yeah, And
I mean I've literally filmed with high definition

323
00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:19,480
cameras, like you know, Netflix
cinema quality cameras. Um when fireflies mates

324
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:26,079
in Virginia, because as far as
the eye can see, entire fields are

325
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,599
just lit up. It's it's it's
almost supernatural, but it's not. It's

326
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,039
just bugs. So I mean,
I've seen stuff like that. I've seen

327
00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:36,160
the skies. We get run out
of camp and then we see a sky

328
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,119
that I've never seen to this day, and then we see a tree lit

329
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,319
up and then it goes out and
it's not even on anyone's property. Like

330
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:47,799
it made no sense. It made
no sense. In the town has a

331
00:25:47,839 --> 00:25:56,200
giant statue of a big foot hold
the cow over. I mean, it

332
00:25:56,319 --> 00:26:00,480
sounds just so bizarre, and like, I don't know if they're connected.

333
00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:04,720
I mean, there's nothing necessarily connecting
them other than you know, time and

334
00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:11,319
place. But all of it just
sounds so weird, man, And it's

335
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:17,079
it's it's an absolute true story that
I've never I never really wanted to tell

336
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,200
it till about a year ago.
That's why I made that video. But

337
00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:22,200
then when I listened to your show, I'm like, you know what,

338
00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:27,079
I wonder if you'd be interested in
this because you can type in mont Guerrilla

339
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:32,480
statue and you'll see the exact statue
of exactly I wake up. I look

340
00:26:32,519 --> 00:26:34,440
out in front of the hotel.
I know, I'm sorry. After getting

341
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:40,519
breakfast, I walk out of the
diner and my girlfriend says, dude,

342
00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:44,599
look across the street and there's a
ginormous statue of a bigfoot hold in the

343
00:26:44,599 --> 00:26:49,920
cow over said. After the waitress
just told me, oh bigfoot, anything

344
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,880
stranger were happening around here? Instantly, Oh Bigfoot? I said, Ah,

345
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,279
maybe, I don't you know.
I don't know. So I heard

346
00:27:00,279 --> 00:27:03,519
a lot of stories, and I
know you've heard millions of stories about people

347
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:07,279
tying, you know, Bigfoot,
the portals of the dimensions, you know.

348
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,119
Oh yeah, anything you can think
of, somebody's got a story for

349
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,480
it, right, I hear you. I've heard. I've listened to a

350
00:27:15,519 --> 00:27:22,720
lot, a lot of a lot
of stories, and that one was I

351
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,160
had never heard one like that before. But I don't understand. It's just

352
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:32,519
a strange thing in a twenty mile
radius statue of a big foot treeal it

353
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,799
up sky like I've never seen before. And then we got run out of

354
00:27:34,839 --> 00:27:40,079
camp, you know, and the
dog bailed. She left and then would

355
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,279
not go back. She wouldn't get
out of the car. She's kind of

356
00:27:42,319 --> 00:27:45,440
dog it to change around. Please
get back in the stock. Come on,

357
00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:48,240
you know you want to cookie anything. I'll give you twenty bucks.

358
00:27:48,319 --> 00:27:52,160
Get back in the car. Would
not get out, just not having it.

359
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,240
Whatever was out there that night,
she didn't want no part of it.

360
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:04,079
I mean, I have never never
been scared to my own detriment.

361
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,200
I'm that. I'm that dude.
I'm too stupid. You know I'm not.

362
00:28:07,759 --> 00:28:11,000
I'll shoot you. I bet you
won't. Dang, you know stuff

363
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:17,880
like that. That's I got scared
up by a noise and a bad feeling.

364
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:23,720
It came down on It's like a
fog. So but then, at

365
00:28:23,759 --> 00:28:29,440
this point I hadn't seen anything other
than the sky and anomaly, the statute,

366
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,119
stuff like that. Now I'm alone, and this is a couple of

367
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:38,079
years later. I don't remember exactly
when. I believe this was about four

368
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:44,359
years ago, twenty nineteen. I
believe it was four years ago. I'm

369
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,599
heading out to meet a buddy of
mine. We're both going to take our

370
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,720
land cruises up to your a Colorado. Really awesome for we own up there,

371
00:28:52,519 --> 00:28:55,680
et cetera. Et cetera. Mountain, lions, bears, all sorts

372
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,039
of stuff, but you never really
I never heard anything about anything else,

373
00:28:59,039 --> 00:29:03,000
and I never thought about anything else. I'm coming through the mountains now,

374
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:08,880
I gotta go from five thousand feet
to twelve thousand feet in my truck.

375
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:14,039
That sucks at doing this, so
I have to focus here. You got

376
00:29:14,119 --> 00:29:15,880
to catch the gas pedal, right, you gotta get the supercharger to kick

377
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,720
in, and you just got to
hope for the best. And once you

378
00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:23,119
get up this mountain in my truck, as bad as as it looked,

379
00:29:23,279 --> 00:29:29,319
it was scary to drive, and
coming down the mountain was worse because I'm

380
00:29:29,319 --> 00:29:33,240
always going. I hope my brakes
hold together. I hope I tightened everything

381
00:29:33,319 --> 00:29:37,200
up. Okay, Like driving through
the Rockies is stressful. It was always

382
00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:42,160
my least favorite part of crossing the
country in that truck. So I built

383
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:49,039
another one. But that's another story. There's a there's a there's a small

384
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,319
mining town, an old silver and
gold town in the Rockies on eighty West

385
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:57,440
and up there you can stop at
the store. I believe you can get

386
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:03,519
gasoline there or at the shot next
door. But in this store they rent

387
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,279
cabins that are on a ridge up
in the Rockies, way up behind there

388
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,559
there. You know, you can
tell these people lived there their entire lives.

389
00:30:11,759 --> 00:30:15,319
So they've got a general store,
and I tried to google it see

390
00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:19,000
if I could remind myself what the
name was. But their entire thing when

391
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:26,720
you're walking around there is bigfoot sasquatch. It's everywhere. So there's not a

392
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,240
lot of people in the store at
that exact moment. And the kid that

393
00:30:30,319 --> 00:30:33,279
works there, it looks like he
might be the owner or the owner's brother.

394
00:30:33,519 --> 00:30:34,759
You just had that look to him, and I said, hey,

395
00:30:36,599 --> 00:30:38,880
let me ask you, you know, on the down load, I said,

396
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,640
as all this, you know,
this big foot stuff, is this

397
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:47,640
just for tourists which is cool?
Or he said, well, every year

398
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,799
they wreck at least two of our
cabins that are right on the cliff above

399
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:59,200
us or the ridge. And I'm
like, no, kidding, you know,

400
00:30:59,359 --> 00:31:02,319
it's still at this point, I'm
not even thinking about the time I

401
00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:04,400
got run off in Vermont. At
this point, I'm just thinking this is

402
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,359
just marketing, you know. Good
damn, it's all good. It's cool.

403
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,319
When you're in the mountains, you
were into all sorts of people talking

404
00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:17,960
about it or you you know stores
that sell big Foot stuff, etc.

405
00:31:18,279 --> 00:31:22,880
It's all good, no big deal. So I'm out in here and I

406
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,720
took a little break, calmed my
nerves down because it's hard to Everyone loved

407
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,039
my truck. My truck was pretty
much world famous, and more people knew

408
00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:37,440
it than knew me. And I've
been on YouTube for fifteen years. I've

409
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,440
had other channels. This the new
one that you watched. That's I just

410
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:45,240
started that not too long ago.
But my nerves have calmed down. I'm

411
00:31:45,359 --> 00:31:52,720
driving my truck, which is a
seven thousand pounds nineteen nineties technology vehicle that

412
00:31:52,839 --> 00:31:56,039
I need to get down the mountain
and then right back up. As soon

413
00:31:56,039 --> 00:32:00,279
as you get down the mountain,
you gotta go straight back up and you're

414
00:32:00,279 --> 00:32:02,960
out of the woods. But I
got one more climb to make. I

415
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,160
just talked to this guy who just
explained to me that Bigfoot they have a

416
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:14,720
Bigfoot problem. Apparently that every year
they show up and they just mess up

417
00:32:14,759 --> 00:32:19,000
some cabins, and apparently it's just
it is what it is. They deal

418
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,480
with it and they move on.
And then if you want, you can

419
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,880
buy a Bigfoot sticker, signed hat, Bigfoot jerky, you know, the

420
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:30,079
whole night. Yeah, right,
So it's all good. I'm driving away,

421
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,680
it's dark. I'm behind schedule because
I try not to drive at night

422
00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:37,119
in this particular vehicle, because it's
a death trap at night, you can't.

423
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:44,119
The headlights are horrible. I'm coming
down the mountain and I'm just about

424
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,799
at the bottom where I'm gonna go
down and then straight back up. So

425
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:52,240
i gotta punch it and hope the
truck catches the correct gear. And I'm

426
00:32:52,279 --> 00:32:55,279
not that dude doing thirty five up
the mountain with my hazards on and everyone

427
00:32:55,359 --> 00:33:00,400
beat it at me going go back
to Massachusetts Castle, you know what I

428
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:05,920
mean. Yeah, that's how I
know. I come to the bottom or

429
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:10,960
the saddle. I'm getting ready to
go right back up, and a giant,

430
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:29,079
giant black nine foot tall or more
thing steps from behind the Jersey barriers.

431
00:33:29,119 --> 00:33:34,039
So he's on the other side.
I'm going west, he's on the

432
00:33:34,039 --> 00:33:37,200
eastbound side. He steps over the
Jersey barriers, you know, the concrete

433
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,720
barriers that go between the highways and
cars don't hit each other. Yeah,

434
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:50,680
steps out of that or over it, and one two one two steps he

435
00:33:50,759 --> 00:33:54,200
goes across two lanes back into the
woods, and I saw him and I

436
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:59,480
couldn't dude, it was so big. It took me weeks to figure out

437
00:33:59,519 --> 00:34:06,400
what I just saw it, even
though I'm driving up the mountain now looking

438
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:07,559
behind me, so I'm not looking
where I'm going at all, and i

439
00:34:07,639 --> 00:34:12,599
keep thinking, dude, stop and
get pictures of the footprints. There has

440
00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:15,280
to be some. But if I
stopped, I would add to roll back

441
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:20,000
down and then start from a dead
stop at the bottom, and I would

442
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,400
I would have been doing twenty nine
miles an hour going up with my hazards

443
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,760
on. So I elected not to. But I saw it that time,

444
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:37,719
and the size of this thing was
it isn't even it was massive. Dude.

445
00:34:37,039 --> 00:34:45,519
It's stepped across two lanes plus the
breakdown lanes, Jersey barrier one foot

446
00:34:45,559 --> 00:34:47,840
in the middle, one foot and
he's out wow, And I saw,

447
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,679
I mean it was it was.
It was unbelievable. And I've never told

448
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:57,920
that story. I've never told that
story. But I did have the conscience,

449
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,400
to the presence of mine, to
want to go back. I was

450
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,960
ready. I wanted to take pictures. I knew there would be footprints there.

451
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,920
The dude up the hill just told
me that these things were here,

452
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:12,559
and I'm like, yeah, marketing
salesman, you know what a lie.

453
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,039
He was not kidding whatsoever at all. And it was late and there wasn't

454
00:35:17,079 --> 00:35:22,159
any traffic behind me that I could
see or in front of me. That

455
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:23,280
was the only thing I had going
for me. I didn't have to worry

456
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,880
about holding up traffic. And when
I came down the hill, I was

457
00:35:28,039 --> 00:35:30,239
rolling because I wanted to come.
I wanted to at least try to pull

458
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:35,519
fifty miles an hour going up,
which means I was doing about eight ninety

459
00:35:35,639 --> 00:35:37,840
coming down. So I was rolling, so I know. There was no

460
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:45,079
cars on the road, and this
thing was absolutely massive, man, massive,

461
00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:47,239
And I couldn't get the shot.
How far ahead of you was it

462
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:53,119
whenever it crossed? All right,
I'm gonna say, he's crossing right where

463
00:35:53,159 --> 00:35:58,880
I'm gonna start going up, so
he's probably about forty feet in front of

464
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,239
me. The entire time on the
phone, I keep getting the same potential

465
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:06,199
spam number over and over and over
and over, and that never happens.

466
00:36:06,199 --> 00:36:09,800
Just throw out of it, never
happens back. So weird, man,

467
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:15,159
So weird. Could you tell like
a hair color or anything? All I

468
00:36:15,159 --> 00:36:21,920
could see was complete and total black
black. It looked like a giant shadow

469
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,800
crossing the street. Yeah, because
I remember, I remember driving away thinking,

470
00:36:27,199 --> 00:36:30,000
you ain't tired. You know,
I didn't start driving till late.

471
00:36:30,039 --> 00:36:31,920
It's not like I've been on the
road and I'm having the black dog moment.

472
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:37,199
It's never happened before, and it's
never happened since. It only happened

473
00:36:37,199 --> 00:36:43,159
that one time. One time,
and it was unbelievably massive. I think

474
00:36:43,159 --> 00:36:45,639
it was probably about i'd have to
say, thirty to forty feet in front

475
00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:47,840
of me, so he was right
in front of me. I mean,

476
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:52,639
I'm just trying to run the calculations
in my head real fast. I mean

477
00:36:52,480 --> 00:37:00,159
that's about twenty to thirty feet I
would guess, give or take covered a

478
00:37:00,159 --> 00:37:04,119
couple of steps. It's two lanes
that I tried to google this too,

479
00:37:04,159 --> 00:37:06,559
and then we had a storm.
I just told you that we had a

480
00:37:06,599 --> 00:37:08,679
storm and we lost the internet.
I was trying to figure out what the

481
00:37:08,679 --> 00:37:14,360
width of the that exact road is. But I mean it's two lane,

482
00:37:14,599 --> 00:37:19,440
two lanes plus breakdowns on either side
and then the jersey barriers. This dude

483
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,960
did it one step, one step
in the middle of the road was all

484
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,760
it took. It looked like it
was fifteen feet tall, but I'm not

485
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,840
gonna say that. I'm gonna see
it was the biggest thing I've ever seen

486
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,519
moving in my life ever. I
mean, people commonly talk about, you

487
00:37:34,559 --> 00:37:39,760
know, seeing them between eight and
ten feet tall. That's a pretty average

488
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:45,599
guestament on height for a full grown
one. And I remember the first time

489
00:37:45,639 --> 00:37:50,519
I ever went on like a real
major outing whenever I met up with a

490
00:37:50,519 --> 00:37:52,639
big group of people. It was
down in eastern Texas. And one of

491
00:37:52,639 --> 00:37:55,840
the things that we did while we
were there is we went out on this

492
00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:02,039
tree and we took a tape measure
and we marked exactly where ten foot was

493
00:38:02,119 --> 00:38:07,360
on the tree. And of course, you know regulation basketball hoops ten feet

494
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,880
we've all seen those and anything.
But whenever you're standing at the base of

495
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:15,679
a tree looking up at how tall
ten feet is, it's insane. It's

496
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:22,360
insanely high. I totally agree you
mentioned that you saw that video. I

497
00:38:22,519 --> 00:38:24,800
was taking my truck for a test
drive because I've been working on it for

498
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:30,760
four months doing everything's the engine,
suspension, everything, so I have to

499
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,519
when i think I'm done, I
take it for a test run up to

500
00:38:34,559 --> 00:38:37,719
the Hampshire and back and back.
Because I could take it off road,

501
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,639
I could take it on the highway
for one hundred miles. If anything's gonna

502
00:38:39,639 --> 00:38:44,800
fall apart, happen while I'm still
close to home. I took my truck

503
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,280
for a test drive the other day
and I took this road that one of

504
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,760
the locals told me about and he
said, you know, I said,

505
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,800
I'm looking for a dirt road.
He said, sure, take a left

506
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,199
right where you are, go down
the street about a mile, take a

507
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,840
right, there's a dirt road.
And then he looked at me. He

508
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,239
looked at my truck and he said, but if you want some real terrain

509
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,800
where nobody goes, go straight.
And I'm like, hell, yeah,

510
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,920
that's what I'm doing. And now
this was just the other day. Now

511
00:39:12,079 --> 00:39:15,360
that I've been researching this and I've
added a couple of pieces of equipment to

512
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:22,719
my repertoire, I am trying to
find something cool, you know, But

513
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:27,480
I'm only doing a test drive.
I'm you know, that's beside the point.

514
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,119
This isn't a big foot outing.
This is just you testing. Yeah,

515
00:39:31,159 --> 00:39:35,320
absolutely absolutely, I'm not. This
is I got to go make sure

516
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,280
the truck's good, and then we
can go, you know, six seven

517
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:42,079
months, who cares to look for
Bigfoot? All we want? I drive

518
00:39:42,159 --> 00:39:44,679
up this dirt road and it's a
pretty gnarly road. I mean, it

519
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,480
was more than I was expecting.
But he kind of gave me like a

520
00:39:47,599 --> 00:39:52,719
sly grin, like you want some
real terrain not too many people go to.

521
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,199
He was not lying because there was
one set of prints and they were

522
00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:01,679
from a dirt bike. Otherwise,
this was a really steep incline. It

523
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:07,119
was near a water reservoir for the
town. I don't know what town it

524
00:40:07,199 --> 00:40:15,320
was. I was near Lake Winnipesake
in New Hampshire. I take the truck

525
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,960
up there. Cool, everything's great. I'm taking a few go pro videos

526
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,719
of the truck coming up the terrain
blah blah blah. And I stopped and

527
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:27,679
the first thing I noticed is the
flies are unbeelievable. We got black back

528
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,119
flies and may flies in New England, like you read about this time of

529
00:40:30,159 --> 00:40:35,000
the year. At any rate.
I happen to look right through the flies

530
00:40:35,159 --> 00:40:37,480
because it's the cloud of them,
and I'm like, wow, that is

531
00:40:37,519 --> 00:40:40,760
a really strange tree structure. And
then I'm looking I start looking around.

532
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,199
I'm like, you know what,
I'm gonna do a wood knock just for

533
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:49,559
fun. And of course I grab
a piece of wood. I've never done

534
00:40:49,559 --> 00:40:52,400
a wood knock in my life.
I take it and hit it against the

535
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:57,760
tree and it just turns to powder
because it's all moldy. I got that

536
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,519
on camera. It was kind of
funny, but okay, So I put

537
00:41:00,599 --> 00:41:07,480
the camera down and I do a
wood knock and within twenty seconds. I

538
00:41:07,519 --> 00:41:13,840
don't know if it was a grunt
or a growl, but it wasn't anything

539
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,840
I was expecting to hear, and
it was relatively quick. It was within

540
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:22,159
twenty seconds. But the thing is, it didn't give me this overwhelming sense

541
00:41:22,199 --> 00:41:24,679
of dread that I've heard so much
about when they're in the area, like

542
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:30,119
I believe I experienced before. There
was no big deal. So that was

543
00:41:30,159 --> 00:41:34,880
fun. You know, I hit
a tree and I don't know, something

544
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,639
growled. Now I'm looking at my
truck and I'm looking past my truck and

545
00:41:39,679 --> 00:41:44,280
I'm like, that looks exactly like
a tree structure I've seen in so many

546
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,320
videos. So I started walking over
there and I'm like, wait a minute,

547
00:41:49,599 --> 00:41:53,079
there's a tree bent over and pinned
to the ground with another tree.

548
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:58,000
And this is a big tree.
I mean it's in the video. It

549
00:41:58,039 --> 00:42:00,320
doesn't look huge, but if you
research this, you know that a seven

550
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:05,320
inch diameter tree me and you ain't
bend in that thing. No, no,

551
00:42:05,639 --> 00:42:08,159
not at all. And it was
thirty feet tall. It was bent

552
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:13,599
over in an arch and pinned to
the ground. And then if you look

553
00:42:13,639 --> 00:42:16,280
at it and turn to the right. Now, remember what attracted my attention

554
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,760
was a tree structure that I've already
forgot about because now I'm seeing this stuff.

555
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,760
There's a tree arch pinned to the
grounds. And then if you look

556
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:31,519
to the right, there's a tree
snapped and twisted off at about ten and

557
00:42:31,559 --> 00:42:37,559
a half feet off the grounds.
And then if you look to the left

558
00:42:37,639 --> 00:42:43,960
of the bowed tree, there's a
good thirty ft long tree eight inches in

559
00:42:44,039 --> 00:42:49,480
diameter or more at the base that's
lodged in, a tree upside down and

560
00:42:49,559 --> 00:42:53,199
there's no roots on it. Now, I've already got a flood of email

561
00:42:53,519 --> 00:42:59,559
comments on the video. Well it's
snowpu It's like, yeah, dude,

562
00:43:00,199 --> 00:43:04,079
remember what they do. They spend
all my time in the desert that the

563
00:43:04,159 --> 00:43:08,760
forest or the mountains I'm familiar with
snowfall and the effect it has on trees,

564
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:14,360
especially in Colorado, etc. I
wouldn't video out of this if this

565
00:43:14,519 --> 00:43:19,960
was not unbelievably strange. There's no
way a tree is gonna fall on land

566
00:43:20,079 --> 00:43:22,559
upside down. Did you see the
one I was talking about in the video?

567
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,440
Yeah? Yeah? What? Really? It really interested me because I've

568
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:31,440
actually, i mean years ago,
took photos of the same thing here in

569
00:43:31,519 --> 00:43:38,079
Oklahoma. Tree upside down, wrong
end, thirty feet up, lodged between

570
00:43:38,079 --> 00:43:45,039
the fork of another tree. And
I at that location, it wasn't nearly

571
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,239
as thick as where you were.
And I looked around and there wasn't even

572
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,719
a place for that tree to have
come from, you know. It was

573
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:58,239
like something carried it in there and
shoved it up there like that. This

574
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,480
tree didn't come from anywhere. There
was no there was no broken stump on

575
00:44:01,519 --> 00:44:05,960
the ground that would match up with
it. And it doesn't matter if a

576
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,679
tree snaps off at the base,
it doesn't flip itself upside down in the

577
00:44:08,679 --> 00:44:13,760
air and lodge itself in a tree. Right, And I've got these three

578
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,320
strange anomalies all right next to each
other. And I do think there was

579
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:22,079
a print on the ground but I
couldn't tell because it was a piece of

580
00:44:22,119 --> 00:44:24,679
wood that fell over it. But
I mean it looked just like it looked

581
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:29,840
just like what I've seen. But
I don't know. The strangest thing about

582
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:35,800
this was I stopped and it's exactly
I stopped right next to this, not

583
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:40,360
even realizing it until I did realize
it. And it's just a very very

584
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:47,239
strange, strange little side note that
occurred. Right. I was trying to

585
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,920
go to a location that I've also
done a video. It's called my bugout

586
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,800
location. It isn't really now because
I put a video out and everyone knows

587
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:59,920
where it is, but it's a
good place to take the truck to test

588
00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:01,960
drive and I know where it is. Except the day that I ended up

589
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,679
with the bent tree and the upside
down tree. I tried to get around

590
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,119
traffic and I ended up getting lost, but fortunately I got lost and found

591
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:16,679
that, which I thought was very
very cool. But I went today.

592
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:24,039
I drove the truck again today and
I went to my quote unquote buggo location

593
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:34,599
now last year, year before,
two thousand and twenty one in New Hampshire.

594
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,119
I don't know anything. I'm not
a bigfoot guy. I'm there I'm

595
00:45:38,159 --> 00:45:44,079
setting up fires. I'm taking videos
of water snakes at night, you know,

596
00:45:44,199 --> 00:45:47,199
porcupine stuff like that. I love
outs, i love wildlife, and

597
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,800
I'm from the city, so it
makes no sense, but it is what

598
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:55,760
it is. I'm sleeping in my
truck and this has happened to me three

599
00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:02,480
times up there, and I never
once figured it out until now. I've

600
00:46:02,559 --> 00:46:07,079
never thought about big foot. I've
never had a bad feeling up there.

601
00:46:07,159 --> 00:46:10,519
And I camp up there completely and
utterly alone, and I am out in

602
00:46:10,559 --> 00:46:15,039
the middle of the White Mountains.
When you wake up at my little camping

603
00:46:15,159 --> 00:46:21,840
spot, you're literally five feet from
the water, and it's an enormous lake

604
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,239
surrounded by mountains, and it's fairly
remote. And the worst thing up there

605
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,960
is you'll get woken up at three
in the morning because a beaver will be

606
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,519
sitting in the water chewing on a
log so loud it wakes you up.

607
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:36,800
That's crazy, but it's happened.
But it takes a lot to wake me

608
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,920
up, so he must have been
there a while. But more than once,

609
00:46:40,519 --> 00:46:45,880
three times total. I never thought
to look for footprints, sign or

610
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:52,039
anything else. Something has slapped like
bang at least once, probably more than

611
00:46:52,119 --> 00:46:55,039
once. Because I woke up and
heard it didn't know what was going on

612
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,599
slapping the side of my tents.
My tenth is seven and a half feet

613
00:47:00,639 --> 00:47:04,519
off the grounds. It's on top
of my truck, and my truck's really

614
00:47:04,559 --> 00:47:07,559
tall, and my tents made of
illuminum. It springs open like a clamshell.

615
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:13,239
Yeah, and I didn't know that
that was a thing that they like

616
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:17,679
to hit camp campers in such in
the middle of the night. So I

617
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:22,679
am going to bring some flear equipment. I've got a fleaar thermal binoculars and

618
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:29,800
I've got I've got regular military night
vision. It's rich, it's gent four,

619
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,920
it's good stuff. So hopefully I
can get some footage of these things.

620
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:38,239
I'm going to try. But it's
weird that I've had this stuff happening

621
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,840
around me when I wasn't even looking
for it. Now that I'm going to

622
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,000
look for it, I'm probably not
gonna be able to find it, because

623
00:47:44,679 --> 00:47:46,679
you know how that goes. I
mean, but what do you think about

624
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:52,079
that though? The fact that you
have just kind of stumbled into these situations

625
00:47:52,159 --> 00:47:58,000
like that. It's so it's if
you'd have to know me to understand this,

626
00:47:58,119 --> 00:48:00,719
But everybody knows me. It's a
weird thing. I'll say, the

627
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:06,559
most random thing, the most random
thing from the seventies that most people wouldn't

628
00:48:06,559 --> 00:48:07,639
know about. I'll bump into my
buddy and the first thing out of his

629
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:13,760
mouth will be that. So me
rolling up test driving my truck and then

630
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,679
just simply turning my head and going, hey, that looks like a free

631
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:22,519
structure. And then I find an
upside down tree. I mean that snapped

632
00:48:22,559 --> 00:48:27,519
off tree was I couldn't even reach
how high that was snapped off? Yeah?

633
00:48:25,519 --> 00:48:30,480
Yeah, my old channel back in
the day before anyone knew who he

634
00:48:30,559 --> 00:48:32,920
was. I had run more head
on and he was so cool. He

635
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,280
let me interview him. This was
fourteen years ago. He messed up the

636
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:43,880
audio and everything, but he was
just so cool. Man. He I

637
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:49,159
know you know this, but he
said that he believes that there's twenty four

638
00:48:49,199 --> 00:48:53,920
ft tall alpha males creeping around the
highest mountains in the country. What do

639
00:48:53,960 --> 00:49:00,559
you make of that? And that's
crazy? I don't know. Yeah,

640
00:49:00,599 --> 00:49:05,199
So, like I mean, I'll
tell you this. So there's this guy

641
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,840
and I can't give away much information
about him because you know, I don't

642
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:14,400
have his permission to talk about this. But he's a guy who I would

643
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,039
trust knows what he's talking about,
and like I've always known him to be

644
00:49:17,159 --> 00:49:22,239
like a really solid guy, you
know, salt of the earth, not

645
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:30,360
gonna bullshit you one bit. One
time we were talking and he lives down

646
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:35,719
in southeastern Oklahoma, Winding Stair Mountain
area. It's the Washington Mountains they go

647
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:43,079
over into Arkansas and everything. It's
one of two mountain ranges in Oklahoma.

648
00:49:43,199 --> 00:49:45,880
We don't have a lot of mountains, and they're not really big ones.

649
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:51,760
Most people from out where you're at
would call them hills. But he told

650
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:55,079
me matter of factly that I asked
him, I said, have you ever

651
00:49:55,119 --> 00:50:00,000
seen like a real big one?
And according to him him, he washed

652
00:50:00,039 --> 00:50:07,000
one cross this road up by his
house, and it stepped out of the

653
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,159
tree line and over the road and
down into the tree line on the other

654
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:14,280
side. And this is on the
side of a mountain, and that there

655
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:20,480
was like an electric pole down there, and he said this thing's head was

656
00:50:20,599 --> 00:50:23,920
just below the top of the electric
pole, and the electric pole was like,

657
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:28,159
I think he said, twenty five
feet tall or something like that.

658
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:30,599
And I was just like, come
on, man, like, how does

659
00:50:30,679 --> 00:50:34,880
something that big hide how does it
walk between the trees? You know?

660
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:44,159
I mean, that's just crazy.
It is crazy. But like I said,

661
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,480
I've got Ron moorehead telling me these
things. There's a lot to me.

662
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:54,119
This guy, the way he recorded
and gotten everything is astonishing, you

663
00:50:54,159 --> 00:50:59,719
know what I mean? Yeah,
but he did here and there and his

664
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:08,000
story. He's got anomalous uf lowish
type things that happened once in a while

665
00:51:08,039 --> 00:51:14,199
but usually not. You know,
but it makes me think that sometimes I

666
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,800
don't know. I don't know,
man, they put in some sort of

667
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:21,320
control or so, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

668
00:51:21,519 --> 00:51:23,280
Hey, man, I've been doing
this for over twenty years now,

669
00:51:24,079 --> 00:51:28,599
and I nowhere closer to figuring it
out than I was on day one.

670
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,039
And I started out as a guy
that was just you know, flesh and

671
00:51:32,079 --> 00:51:37,519
blood. This is just an undiscovered
primate, that's all. And then you

672
00:51:37,559 --> 00:51:40,320
know, it keeps on moving more
and more into those gray areas. And

673
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:44,199
at this point, I don't even
know what to think. Man, I

674
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,119
don't know what's real and what's not, what these things are, what they

675
00:51:47,159 --> 00:51:52,760
can and can't do. I couldn't
tell you. You've got PhDs now putting

676
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:58,480
their name on places like skin Walker
Ranch. Yeah, and there's a lot

677
00:51:58,599 --> 00:52:01,000
of big foot activity. Listen to
the audio I do. I'm huge with

678
00:52:01,039 --> 00:52:04,760
audiobooks. I just listen to the
guy forget his name, but he's a

679
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:13,280
PhD and he was at Skinwalker when
he was there with Bigelow, and they've

680
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,000
seen him come out of what appears
to be a portal. They start through

681
00:52:15,039 --> 00:52:20,920
and these are all PhDs saying,
dude, there's a portal and there's a

682
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,320
big foot crawling out of it,
you know. And then they see him

683
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,840
here and there. These are PhDs
that didn't used to happen. You know,

684
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:30,960
there's there's something, there's something to
all this. So it's crazy,

685
00:52:30,039 --> 00:52:34,880
man. But your buddy's saying the
guy you know, saying he saw him

686
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:39,000
as tall as the pole, the
one that crossed the highway was the tallest

687
00:52:39,039 --> 00:52:43,920
thing I ever saw. I'm saying
nine feet because that's a ridiculous height.

688
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,480
And I think it was way bigger
than that. It stepped across the highways,

689
00:52:46,519 --> 00:52:52,800
stepped in the middle once that was
it. I mean, that's insane,

690
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,920
man, that's insane. Gotta be
twenty feet. I mean a ten

691
00:52:57,079 --> 00:53:01,119
foot gate or whatever it's, you
know, like step to step. That's

692
00:53:01,159 --> 00:53:06,280
insane. Yeah, but I mean, I sorry, I've never seen it

693
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,920
before. I've never seen it since, and it's just a strange coincidence.

694
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:15,159
I'm talking to a guy fifteen minutes
earlier at the top of a mountain.

695
00:53:15,199 --> 00:53:17,719
I'm at the bottom of a mountain, and there goes one. You know.

696
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,599
Yeah, it's yeah. I think
they're a lot more common, And

697
00:53:22,679 --> 00:53:27,000
the more time you spend outdoors.
When you're outdoors for a week or two,

698
00:53:27,039 --> 00:53:31,079
which I do quite often, if
somebody knews around, you can smell

699
00:53:31,119 --> 00:53:34,880
them, you know what I mean. You can hold that guy smells that

700
00:53:35,119 --> 00:53:38,480
you so recently, you can smell
that stuff like that. Yeah, a

701
00:53:38,599 --> 00:53:42,840
big foot, they can smell us. They can hear us a mile away,

702
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:49,119
and they just simply stop moving or
whatever. They're hard to see from

703
00:53:49,119 --> 00:53:52,840
what I've seen. Well, I
think in that latest video of yours,

704
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,960
where you know you're showing the tree
stuff, I think you even mentioned something

705
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:01,599
about how you know you hadn't seeing
the stuff before, but you had never

706
00:54:01,639 --> 00:54:06,679
looked until now, right, And
I think that's the situation with a lot

707
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:08,159
of people. I mean, I
never saw a big foot track until I

708
00:54:08,159 --> 00:54:13,079
started looking for big foot tracks.
And I spent tons of my childhood and

709
00:54:13,079 --> 00:54:15,480
everything else out in the woods and
looking at animal tracks and everything else.

710
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:21,280
And I think that's how these things
stay hidden so easily. It's because people

711
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:28,400
just don't even notice they're around,
and if they do notice, nobody wants

712
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,480
to be ridiculed, especially with social
media, you know, because there's somebody

713
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:37,719
could ridicule you to tears or worse. There's so many people that have seen

714
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,800
just won't say anything. I've had. You said, you're in Oklahoma.

715
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:45,920
I spent a lot of time in
the Ozarks in Missouri and Arkansas, and

716
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:51,760
a buddy of mine owns Flat and
Nasty. It's an enormous off road park

717
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:57,679
right on the line before Arkansas.
This guy's a seventy year old professional dirt

718
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:02,639
biker race car driver. He's in
a adrenaline junkie. I didn't ask him

719
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:06,920
this was this was about. I'm
gonna say this was twenty nineteen. I

720
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,559
know it is because I saved the
folder on my laptop, so it was

721
00:55:08,599 --> 00:55:14,000
twenty nineteen. I'm talking to the
guy. He's an interesting dude. He's

722
00:55:14,039 --> 00:55:17,320
telling me the story about buying.
He lives in California. He raced off

723
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:21,280
road stuff all his life. He
was a champion, made a lot of

724
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,719
money. He wanted to buy a
piece of the Ozarks and his criteria for

725
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:30,079
buying the property site unseen was,
Hey, realtor, if I walked from

726
00:55:30,119 --> 00:55:34,440
one edge of my new property to
the other, is there a possibility I

727
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:39,400
could die? Yes, I'll take
it. And that's the kind And his

728
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:44,360
wife said, yep, that's just
what he did, he told me.

729
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,639
And I'm not looking for Bigfoot twenty
nineteen whatsoever at all. This came up

730
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:52,960
because it's a topic down there.
Everybody runs into him like Raccoon's Apparently.

731
00:55:54,159 --> 00:55:59,679
He said he had a guy up
there fixing his central air conditioning at his

732
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:05,880
house, and the guy took pictures
and said, dude, I'm driving up

733
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,960
to your house and this bear comes
running out from behind your house and then

734
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:14,079
it starts running on two legs,
and I got a picture right here,

735
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,760
and he did. And this guy's
like, I've never seen it, he

736
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:22,559
said, but once twice, three
times a year at the same time of

737
00:56:22,639 --> 00:56:25,239
the year, I think, he
said, April, if memory serves,

738
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:31,679
He showed me this trail and he
said, every year it smells like there's

739
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:36,199
dead animals over here. He's like
to the point where I've gone looking figuring,

740
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:38,559
you know, something got into it
with a deer and the Zacharcas,

741
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:43,119
and you know, people paid to
come to his property. You know.

742
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:47,039
Yeah, it's not like an amusement
park. It's just really gnarly off roading.

743
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:52,199
And once you're on there, you
know it's all you sign a liability

744
00:56:52,199 --> 00:56:57,000
waiver. It is what it is. But he doesn't want dead smelling animals.

745
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,760
He said he's never found it,
but he came down the trail one

746
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:05,159
day on a side by side.
He said, the smell went right in

747
00:57:05,199 --> 00:57:07,239
front of me, like he said, whatever, it was just crossed right

748
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:12,760
in front of me. And my
buddy owns a shop down in the ark

749
00:57:13,199 --> 00:57:19,000
in the Ozarks in Missouri, and
he took me kayaking down one of the

750
00:57:19,079 --> 00:57:22,360
rivers and it was amazing and him
and his buddy are just talking about,

751
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,679
Yeah, the thing came by the
other night. It was just snapping off

752
00:57:25,719 --> 00:57:29,480
trees all over the place. And
we're driving back to his place and he's

753
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,920
showing me these trees and I don't
get it. I'm like, so somebody

754
00:57:32,039 --> 00:57:35,800
snapping off trees really high, Like, what is that supposed to mean?

755
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,880
I didn't understand what he was saying
at the time, but apparently your area

756
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:44,639
is so hot. Yeah. Yeah, there's a off road place not too

757
00:57:44,679 --> 00:57:47,400
far from me. We growing up, we had some lake property and it

758
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:52,760
was up by it by a grand
lake, and it's just at the foothills

759
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:58,000
of the Ozarks actually, and down
below one of the dams. There.

760
00:57:58,079 --> 00:58:02,800
They do a lot of rock climbing
and stuff with rock crawlers and jeeps and

761
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,559
you know, off road vehicles,
not hand rock climbing right down there.

762
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,519
You know, they'll they'll hang out
there all night and everything. And for

763
00:58:12,559 --> 00:58:16,599
a while I knew somebody who I
believe it was there brother in law,

764
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:22,000
was a sheriff there or something,
and at night, these off road guys

765
00:58:22,039 --> 00:58:25,559
something would come to the edge of
the tree line and start screaming at him

766
00:58:25,559 --> 00:58:30,920
and throw like sticks and rocks at
them and run them off, and they

767
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:34,039
ended up calling the sheriff, and
the sheriff would you know, just happened

768
00:58:34,039 --> 00:58:37,000
to be, like I said,
related to this friend of mine who was

769
00:58:37,039 --> 00:58:40,440
a big footer, and you know, blah blah blah. But I've actually

770
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:47,559
years later I ended up hearing that
same thing from somebody else that knew about

771
00:58:47,559 --> 00:58:52,280
it, that didn't know anything about
me knowing about it already, and wasn't

772
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,960
involved in bigfoot or anything. So
it's pretty crazy for sure. They talked

773
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:59,719
about it like it's like it's a
bear going through the trash. You know,

774
00:59:00,199 --> 00:59:02,239
Yeah, no big deal. You
know, it just happens. It's

775
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:07,599
it's worth talking about, but not
that big of a deal if you go

776
00:59:07,639 --> 00:59:10,239
onto my channel. I don't know
if you got a chance to listen to

777
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:17,360
this. I was just gonna say
the the thing that ran me and my

778
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:23,079
ex and the dog off made noise
by snapping or twisting trees off. I

779
00:59:23,079 --> 00:59:25,800
didn't know they did that at the
time. I kept trying to tell people.

780
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:30,199
It sounded like it was just taking
both hands and crushing a cord of

781
00:59:30,239 --> 00:59:34,280
wood in its hands, not a
chord, but you know, yea more

782
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:37,480
than one stick. It was loud, it was It was very loud,

783
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,320
and I knew what it wasn't.
I just didn't know what it was.

784
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:47,000
But I never had one scream at
me. But that's not entirely accurate,

785
00:59:47,119 --> 00:59:52,679
because last year I was in the
Redwood forest and I was on one of

786
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:57,320
my subscribers piece of private property.
He didn't tell me anything. I didn't

787
00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:00,960
ask anything. I don't care.
I've never seen redwoods this close. I'm

788
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:05,360
waking up in the morning three foot
away from a redwood tree that's bigger than

789
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:09,000
my truck. That's awesome for me. Yeah, as soon as I got

790
01:00:09,039 --> 01:00:13,559
there, I'm making a video of
some sort. It's kind of my life,

791
01:00:13,559 --> 01:00:17,440
so it's what I do. Whatever
can I get on video. It's

792
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:22,159
on my channel, and I think
I called it. Did I just record

793
01:00:22,519 --> 01:00:30,280
Bigfoot? I heard a howling that
I've had every single solitary hunter of every

794
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:34,559
caliber on every continent listened to,
and none of them they're not It's not

795
01:00:34,639 --> 01:00:39,199
an animal. It's some sort of
crazy. It sounds like a woman screaming.

796
01:00:40,159 --> 01:00:45,000
And then in the background, while
you hear the woman's screaming voice,

797
01:00:45,199 --> 01:00:49,119
there's another howl that most people don't
hear. And I'm like, that's the

798
01:00:49,159 --> 01:00:52,880
one that worries me. The ladies
screaming. I kind of thought it was

799
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:58,000
a mountain lion or coyote or something, but it's not. I was gonna

800
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,559
say I never heard one scream,
but I believe I did. Again.

801
01:01:00,599 --> 01:01:05,719
About I don't know eight or ten
bigfoot videos on there, The one in

802
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,239
Saint Helens was a wash. I
got a helicopter and everything, man,

803
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:14,679
and you're gonna see him out of
helicopter. Right. It seemed like a

804
01:01:14,679 --> 01:01:16,719
good idea at the time. I
mean, maybe if you spot one of

805
01:01:16,719 --> 01:01:23,320
those twenty four footers. Dude stepped
across Route eighty West in one step.

806
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:28,480
That's crazy. And I've never told
this is the first time I've ever said

807
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:34,039
it allowed to anybody. But that's
a absolute true story that absolutely happened.

808
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,199
So so what's up now? Man? You said you're getting ready to go

809
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,360
back out there. You're gonna spend
some time outlooking them. Yeah, yep,

810
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:45,800
yep, I've got some I've got
some serious optics. I always set

811
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:51,480
up game cameras and a buddy of
mine is always talking about Bigfoot. He's

812
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:53,239
got it on his on his property. He's got a you know, bigfoot

813
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:58,960
signs and all that stuff. But
this year clear kind of backed me up.

814
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,360
So I've got some serious, hardcore
equipment. I'm gonna see if I

815
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:08,559
can get these guys on video something
anything. But as long as I remember

816
01:02:08,559 --> 01:02:13,199
to turn the camera on, man, you know, always keep the camera

817
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,719
rolling. Yeah, I get it
now. People are like, oh,

818
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:19,840
I'll could be that picture. Now
you'd be surprised, you'd be amazed.

819
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:28,800
I literally carry probably counting go pros. I probably have nineteen cameras in my

820
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:32,800
truck, including drones, you know, mirrorless cameras. The truck is recording

821
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:37,719
front and rear at all times of
audio and video. It's what I do.

822
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:42,559
So but that day, the pictures
of the sky, I had no

823
01:02:42,599 --> 01:02:45,079
idea how to use a camera.
Some creepy rands runs us out of camp.

824
01:02:45,559 --> 01:02:47,440
I don't know how to use a
camera. I didn't even get a

825
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:52,199
camp picture of the giant big foot
holding a cow over it's head in the

826
01:02:52,199 --> 01:02:55,119
middle of town. I didn't even
you know, you just don't think of

827
01:02:55,199 --> 01:03:00,800
it. It's weird, but out
I promise I'm thinking it now. Yeah.

828
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:06,159
Now you're prepared. You got the
equipment, so hopefully yeah, best

829
01:03:06,199 --> 01:03:08,760
of luck for sure. Well,
I appreciate you coming on and sharing your

830
