1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.879
But as we were approaching the tree
line, there was some I don't remember

2
00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:07.879
the exact sequence of whether it was
a knock that we heard, a rock

3
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:12.560
clack or a whoop type vocalization what, but there was there was a combination

4
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.039
of vocalizations and you know, knocking
going on. As we were approaching the

5
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.719
tree line. Sarah and I are
starting to get really nervous at this time

6
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.600
because they don't sound like they're very
far away. And I look off to

7
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:26.039
my left and it's about one hundred
feet away or so, maybe maybe a

8
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.079
little bit farther, maybe one hundred
and fifteen feet. I see one coming

9
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:33.079
up behind this tree, and when
he was moving back and forth around the

10
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:37.399
tree, he was like he was
he was moving in like a really jerky

11
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:41.280
motion, like fast twitch. There
was enough shade within the forest so I

12
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.439
couldn't make out any you know,
facial features. I mean, it looked

13
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:47.840
like it looked like a dark face, but I couldn't. I couldn't.

14
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.439
It was far enough away along with
the shadows that I couldn't make out like

15
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.679
what his nose looked like, or
you know, how big the brow ridge

16
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:59.039
was and stuff like that. But
I could I could see him moving around

17
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.159
behind the tree, and I was
trying to get my wife Sarah to look.

18
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:03.920
I said, it's right there if
she doesn't look right over there,

19
00:01:03.959 --> 00:01:08.760
but she wouldn't look. She was
too afraid to and we were both terrified.

20
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:53.959
Back in February of two thy fifteen, I released episode one of a

21
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:02.879
podcast called Bigfoot Crossroads with my co
host Jonathan Brown. Years later, here

22
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:08.039
we are Bigfoot Crossroads is once again
a podcast I've been doing for a while

23
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:16.120
now, and once again joining me
all these years later is Jonathan Brown.

24
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.479
Thanks for having me, Matt.
I mean, what, mate, even

25
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:30.439
a year ago, would you have
ever expected this to happen? Not necessarily

26
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:36.599
what about you? No, not
really. Uh, luckily, as fate

27
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.439
would have it. You know,
we've reached back out to one another and

28
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:45.080
started talking again, and here we
are, man. Yeah, it's been

29
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:49.240
it's been a long time, you
know. I was just telling you know,

30
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.120
like obviously I've mentioned the thermal footage
a few times, and like talked

31
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:58.280
about your property and stuff, nothing
to any great detail or anything, but

32
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:07.960
to me, you have one of
the best Bigfoot stories out there, just

33
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:13.159
because maybe it's because I know you
so well, the type of person that

34
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:19.080
you are, how your involvement kind
of came to being this whole thing,

35
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.680
and the journey that you've been on
and your outlook on everything. But just

36
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:30.639
for the people that don't know your
story, if you don't mind, kind

37
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:36.719
of tell, like where you're from
and how you ended up in the bigfoot

38
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:43.400
world. Okay, Well, I
live on a reservation in Washington, in

39
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:52.000
southwest Washington, and it was in
twenty twelve. I was coming outside to

40
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:57.080
get something out of my car,
and there's kind of a funny scent in

41
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.319
the air, and it smelled kind
of like skunk, just a little bit

42
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:06.520
different. But I was just listening
outside for just moments after smelling that,

43
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.840
and then I hear a whistle from
one side of property, and then a

44
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.000
responding whistle from the other side,
and that kind of led into you know,

45
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.759
us a my brother Ben and I
spending a lot of time outside just

46
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:23.319
sitting by the fire at night,
and then you know, things kind of

47
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:30.519
unfolded from there escalated a bit.
Yeah, uh so, like if I

48
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:38.439
remember correctly, the house that you're
in was your dad's house, yes,

49
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:44.120
And never any talk of Bigfoot or
anything like that as a kid or in

50
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:50.360
the area or anything. Uh there. I remember hearing him talking about some

51
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.480
whistles that he had heard, but
I think he was attributing it to like

52
00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.040
a bird or something. And that's
that's such a vague memory of him telling

53
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.439
that to me. I mean,
he's passed on, you know, since

54
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:08.800
two thousand and nine, and so
I don't I don't remember exactly, you

55
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.480
know, what it was. He
probably only did hear a bird at the

56
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.800
time, I don't know, but
you know, he wasn't he wasn't spending

57
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.839
any time outside or anything that night, and it wasn't something that had really

58
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:26.759
been on your mind previous to these
incidents or anything. I mean I was,

59
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.240
I wasn't into bigfoot like I am
now, but I've always been interested

60
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.920
in it. And there's you know, different people on the reservation that have,

61
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.959
you know, told stories throughout my
entire life that I've believed. And

62
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.040
as far as the property that we
live on right now, it actually used

63
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:47.079
to be my grandfather's property as well, and he had a he had a

64
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:54.800
smokehouse where he smoked fish, and
I was told by a family member that

65
00:05:55.879 --> 00:06:00.000
one time on the property he had
a bunch of wish that he was smoking

66
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.399
and then all the fish were taken
out, and there was a large footprint

67
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:12.600
outside of the smokehouse, And it
seems like it seems like somebody said that

68
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:17.319
like another another fish was like like
a like a dead fish was left outside

69
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.079
of it, not like any of
the fish that had been smoking, but

70
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:24.959
like a day or two later,
like a fish had been left outside of

71
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.519
it. I don't know the I
don't know how accurate that story is because

72
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.000
you know, it's it's not any
it's not like a close family member that

73
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.360
told me it. Yeah, it's
a story that I heard ten years ago,

74
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:40.519
so maybe there's some half truth to
it. Maybe not. My grandpa

75
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:45.480
did have stories of uh like seeing
sasquatch when he was fishing down by the

76
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.800
river though too, and my my
grandma would say that she didn't believe him

77
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:53.000
and that he was, you know, making stuff up. Whenever you heard

78
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:58.439
the sounds and stuff, did you
instantly recognize, like that's probably a sasquatch

79
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:03.160
or what did you think on the
based on the smell When I came outside,

80
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.399
I couldn't identify the scent that I
was smelling. I mean, like

81
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:09.759
I said, it was similar to
a skunk, just a little bit different,

82
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:15.439
and so my brain kind of was
going there beforehand. I mean,

83
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:17.600
as soon as I smelled it,
because you know, I I wasn't it

84
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:24.199
wasn't really fitting in a box of
like a an animal that I knew of.

85
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.040
And then you know, hearing the
whistle from one side of the property

86
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.439
and then the whistle from the other
side of the property, I was thinking,

87
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.120
if it was if it was a
person, they're an idiot, because

88
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:39.839
you know, that's a good way
to get shot. Right. When was

89
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:46.040
the big aha moment for you and
your family and everything where it was no

90
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:53.279
longer a mystery of what was going
on? Well, uh after after after

91
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.600
that night in particular, when you
know I had the whistles going back and

92
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:01.360
forth. Me and my brother Ben
did spend quite a bit of time outside

93
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.839
at night, and there would be
different things that there'd be different things that

94
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:11.439
we would hear, some distant vocalizations. I don't I don't remember specifically which

95
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:18.480
ones because there's there's been so many, but we've heard, you know,

96
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:24.639
rocks being banged together, and what
sounded like, you know, when people

97
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:26.839
talk about tree knocks, what sounds
like wood on wood. If it is

98
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:33.200
wood on wood, I don't know, but things like that. And it

99
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.320
was in two thousand. It was
in two thousand and thirteen, April of

100
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:46.000
twenty thirteen that my wife Sarah and
I we were just we suspected that they

101
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.240
were around, you know, and
we went and put some We went and

102
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.440
put some food out in the forest. I don't know, just leftover scraps

103
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.360
and stuff like that. Right,
probably probably a stupid idea, you know,

104
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.559
it could you know, attract other
predators. I'm not even saying that,

105
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.679
you know, it was sasquatch that
we were feeding, but it was

106
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.639
just an attempt, you know.
We didn't know anything about bigfoot, and

107
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.960
that's what we were trying to do. But as we were approaching the tree

108
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:20.559
line, there was some I don't
remember the exact exact sequence of whether it

109
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.559
was a knock that we heard,
a rock clack or a whoop type vocalization,

110
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:31.639
but there was a combination of of
vocalizations and you know, knocking going

111
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:37.799
on as we were approaching the tree
line and we barely get inside of it,

112
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.919
and Sarah and I are starting to
get really nervous at this time because

113
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.480
they don't sound like they're very far
away, and I look off to my

114
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.240
left, and it's about one hundred
feet away or so, maybe maybe a

115
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.360
little bit farther, maybe one hundred
and fifteen feet away, And I see

116
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:58.440
one coming up behind this tree.
And the first thing that really stood out

117
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.480
to me was like, how like
conical shaped its head was? I mean,

118
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:09.159
it wasn't it was it was a
it was a pretty pronounced, you

119
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:15.480
know, combe of a head that
he had. And when he was moving

120
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:20.480
back and forth around the tree,
he was like he was he was moving

121
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:28.519
in like a really jerky motion,
like fast twitch, and uh, it

122
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.519
was. There was enough, there
was enough shade within the forest, so

123
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.919
I couldn't. I couldn't make out
any you know, facial features. I

124
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.399
mean, it looked like it looked
like a dark face, but I couldn't.

125
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.840
I couldn't. It was far enough
away along with the shadows that I

126
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.559
couldn't make out like what his nose
looked like, or you know, how

127
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:52.600
how how big the brow ridge was
and stuff like that. But I could.

128
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.279
I could see him moving around behind
the tree. And then I was

129
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:00.240
trying to get my wife Sarah to
look. I said, it's right if

130
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.399
you just looked right over there,
but she was she wouldn't look she was

131
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:09.519
too afraid to, and we were. We were both terrified at the time.

132
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:16.159
And I wasn't I wasn't staring at
it like I was trying to be

133
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:22.440
challenging towards him. I would kind
of look in an intimidated type fashion where

134
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:24.360
I would look at him in the
corner of my eye for just a few

135
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.960
seconds at a time, and then
kind of look away because, you know,

136
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:31.559
not being that far away from me, I don't know what he's going

137
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:37.559
to try to do. It's there's
very little and still very little that I

138
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:43.039
still know about them, but I
was. I was pretty afraid. And

139
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:48.200
the last time that I glanced over
at him, he got really low to

140
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.960
the ground, to the point where
he at first he was squatting really low

141
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.799
to the ground. Then I'm pretty
sure he had to have been like laying

142
00:11:54.840 --> 00:12:00.679
on the ground. But that was
the That was the last looked over there,

143
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:05.080
and we got out of there.
And what time of day was it?

144
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:11.360
It was It was the first week
in April of twenty thirteen, and

145
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.879
I would say that it's right around
sunset at that time. So I'm not

146
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:22.679
really sure what time sunset is in
April, but I would assume probably around

147
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.240
seven o'clock or so. Yeah,
So it wasn't like completely dark or anything,

148
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.600
but the sun was Oh no,
no, no. When I when

149
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.360
I was looking at him, there
was sunlight that was coming through the trees.

150
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.080
So that's why I'm saying like it
was close to sunset because there was

151
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:43.639
some sunlight that was coming through and
I noticed that the even though I couldn't

152
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.039
make out any facial features because of
a lot of the shadows, there was

153
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.960
some sunlight coming through like that was
that was hitting you know, parts of

154
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.879
his hair, and the hair on
his back was like really clumped together.

155
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:01.039
I don't know if it was dirty
or oily or what, but I remember

156
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.200
it being clumped together. And that
hair that the hair that the sun was

157
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:11.200
hitting was kind of a it was
kind of a reddish brown. Have you

158
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:16.279
encountered like bears in the wild?
Not that close. I mean, I've

159
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.840
been I've been fishing on the river
that's around us, and I've seen like

160
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.720
a bear cub along the shore.
I've seen bear across the road in front

161
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:31.919
of my vehicle, not far away
on the other side of the reservation.

162
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.679
But uh, I know there's I
know there's bears around that come around our

163
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.960
property because you know, I see
I see bear scap pretty often. I've

164
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.039
just personally remember seen a bear out
around our property before I know they're there,

165
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.960
I just haven't seen one. I
was just curious to see if you

166
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:56.960
could compare the the feeling to something, you know, you were talking about

167
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:01.159
the fear factor, and I was
just curious if it was similar to like

168
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.840
if someone encountered a bear out in
the wild. The bears that I've seen,

169
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.639
you know, have It's been you
know, a very limited amount that

170
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.799
I've seen, but it seems as
if they're always you know, kind of

171
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.399
scared and running off, like kind
of startled, and they just want to

172
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.879
get out of sight. You know. Yeah, when I was looking at

173
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:22.519
this thing, I just had no
idea what it was thinking, what it

174
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.120
was going to do. But it
definitely looked as if there was you know,

175
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.279
it looked as if it was a
lot more intelligent than a bear,

176
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.759
just by the way it was observing
us. You know, you're also with

177
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:41.159
your wife, so I would imagine
there would be some you know, instinct

178
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:48.919
about concern for her safety as well. And this isn't a situation where you

179
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.200
guys were necessarily like out on a
Bigfoot expedition. I mean this is like

180
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:58.000
literally in the yard at your house
that this is taking place, Yeah,

181
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:03.080
just out of our property. I
mean, I I did have a I

182
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.799
did have a pistol with me,
and like when I saw it, it

183
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.840
wasn't like I was. It wasn't
like I was thinking about shooting a sasquatch

184
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:11.399
at the time or anything like that. But I did have a pistol and

185
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.799
when I saw it, like my
hand it wasn't like I couldn't function or

186
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.440
anything. I could. My hand
was on my pistol. But I wasn't

187
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:26.120
planning on taking it out unless I
absolutely had to. So after that incident

188
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:33.639
happened, like did activity at the
house continue? So that was in April,

189
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.559
and it seemed as if it seemed
that and when I had first,

190
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.879
when we had first you know,
become aware that you know, stuff was

191
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.519
going outside, was going on occasionally
outside. Was when I came out to

192
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.960
get something out of the car that
I had started out the story with.

193
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:56.679
And uh, that was in I
think it was in October or November of

194
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:04.279
twenty twelve. So between and April
of twenty thirteen is when I had,

195
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:10.600
you know, had the daylight sighting, and it seemed it seemed like after

196
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:18.879
May. It seemed like from May
until that following September or late August,

197
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:25.120
like there was what I don't know
that there wasn't anything around at the time,

198
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:26.919
but it seemed like as if they
were. If they were around,

199
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:33.080
there were a lot more quiet.
I mean almost between between May and you

200
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:40.639
know, the end of summer almost
or or late summer almost next to no

201
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:45.759
activity. Has that pattern kind of
continued through the years, It kind of

202
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:52.799
it kind of I've I've always told
people that, but Chris Spencer, he

203
00:16:52.879 --> 00:17:00.440
has a he came out here and
set up a Wildlife Acoustics SM four recorder

204
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:06.359
that he started sometime in late March. And even when I told him,

205
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:10.839
like I I didn't, I didn't
think that there was There'd be a few

206
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:15.680
times that there was like questionable stuff
that would happen in the early to midsummer,

207
00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:21.720
but nothing like nothing like definitive where
you knew for sure, and he

208
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:30.160
was he's been reviewing audio and between
then and you know, throughout this summer

209
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:37.400
he's been picking up stuff in summertime
and not necessarily not necessarily all that close,

210
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:40.039
a little bit distant and so you
know, that could be why,

211
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:44.839
that could be why, you know, during those months, it doesn't seem

212
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.119
like there's a whole lot of stuff
that happens around our property. And you

213
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.519
know, maybe maybe maybe in the
fall they head this way for a different

214
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.920
reason. I don't. I don't
really have the answer to that. But

215
00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.000
even this summer, like it did
seem like I don't I don't recall hearing

216
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:07.759
much this summer at all. Has
h your why for your kids had a

217
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.359
sighting at your house and experiences and
stuff. I mean, obviously I know

218
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.720
Sarah has, but for the benefit
of the people listening and don't know the

219
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:25.039
stories and stuff, have they experienced
things as well? My daughter Chloe,

220
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:30.200
this must have been about two years
ago. She was bringing she was bringing

221
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.200
the dog inside. We have a
German shepherd, and she said that,

222
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:40.519
she said that over by one of
our apple trees, she saw what she

223
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:48.319
describes as a bigfoot running away towards
the trees from the apple tree as soon

224
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:53.599
as she walked out. And I
believe her because Chloe's not even she's not

225
00:18:53.720 --> 00:19:00.200
even into bigfoot at all. And
if I mean it's it's all, well,

226
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.880
she could have been mistaken it for
something else. I just don't have

227
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:07.400
a I just don't have a reason
to discredit her. I mean, she's

228
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.839
not right. She's not she's not
out telling her story to people or anything

229
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.200
like that. That's the one time
she told me. I mean, what

230
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:18.079
else would she mistake for a big
foot running away from the apple tree?

231
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:22.839
You know? I mean, if
there was a if there was a you

232
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.720
know, a human that was possibly
like snooping around looking to steal something,

233
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:32.519
that's always a possibility. But I
don't think that's what she was describing.

234
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.720
I mean, again, you live, you know, on a reservation.

235
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:42.680
It's a pretty small community. I
think everybody knows you. I think somebody

236
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:48.279
would be pretty damn stupid, like
be snooping around on your property like that.

237
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:52.720
I don't I don't think anybody would
do that. Yeah, I mean

238
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:59.359
you can never you can never say
that nobody would because there's always somebody I'm

239
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:03.359
enough to do something. But yeah, I otherwise, I don't have a

240
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.240
reason to believe that anybody was around, you know, on that particular night.

241
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:12.519
So when did the infamous thermal footage
happen? In the grand scheme of

242
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:22.440
things that would have been in October, there was October thirtieth of twenty thirteen,

243
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:32.079
and Ben and I we were we
were outside by the fire and there

244
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:36.960
there was there was cattle that was
behind us, and there were some of

245
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:41.599
them were getting shipped to another location, you know when they back in those

246
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.559
big cow trailers and start loading them
up. And so there was some of

247
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.319
the cows had you know, family
members that were missing, and they were

248
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:52.799
just like putting on a show that
night, just like crying and bellowing,

249
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:59.440
like really loud, you know,
in a way that you could only surmise

250
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:03.279
that a cow I was crying or
upset about something, bellowing, just making

251
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:08.160
a lot of noise. And so
it was. It was loud that night.

252
00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:12.960
But there was a there was one
time where Ben and I hear something

253
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:21.440
that sounded like tapping that was coming
from where the thermal was taking and I

254
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:26.160
had got out the thermal camera and
I'm looking over in that direction and I'm

255
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:32.000
seeing I'm seeing like lower to the
ground at first, like this human shaped

256
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:36.480
looking head looking nothing like the other
cows, and that you know we're around

257
00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:41.640
at the time, and it's laying
it's laying on the ground at that point,

258
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:45.519
and I'm trying to Uh, we
had We had just been lent that

259
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:49.240
camera, and so I was not
that familiar with the device, and I

260
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.559
was trying to figure out how to
get it to record. And by the

261
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.160
time I'm by the time i'm you
know, trying to record, it's a

262
00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:00.559
changed position to where it's you know, now, when I'm looking at it,

263
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:07.880
there's this berm that drops down and
so half of it's half of like

264
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.839
the lower half of the body is
below this ridge. So You're just seeing

265
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:18.960
it peeking up from the chest up
chest shoulders, head of the ridge.

266
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:22.599
And I'm thinking that I'm taking video
at that time, but what I'm doing

267
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.759
is I'm taking snapshots. And so
when I realized I wasn't recording, my

268
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:32.000
brother Ben took the camera and he
was messing with it, and then he

269
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:36.519
got it. He got it recording, and that's that's how that had happened.

270
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:38.680
And I don't know if there was
a I don't know if there was

271
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:44.920
what the reason for as far as
the camera stopping. I don't know if

272
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:49.319
it was the batteries that we were
using or somebody. I think I think

273
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:53.799
David Ellis had said that there was
an auto shutdown feature on the camera I

274
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:56.720
don't know. I don't know if
there was an auto shutdown feature on it

275
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.559
or if it was the batteries.
But at two minutes and twenty seconds it

276
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:04.519
stops recording. And then by the
when it stopped recording, and by the

277
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:11.799
time we got it got the camera
on again, I mean, the creature

278
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.079
was gone. So the camera was
lent to you, and it was lent

279
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:19.200
to you for the specific purpose of
trying to get footage of something if you

280
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:26.880
had the opportunity, right, Yes, I mean this footage was a big

281
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.039
deal whenever it came out. I
still think it is a big deal.

282
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:38.160
I think it's a tremendous piece of
evidence. A lot of people have spent

283
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:45.160
a lot of time analyzing it,
coming to your property, checking out where

284
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:51.279
it happened and everything. And as
far as I know of anybody that's actually

285
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:57.880
visited the property and you know,
looked at the area itself where the thing

286
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:03.079
was at all that, I mean, everybody's kind of on board with,

287
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.039
yeah, that's a bigfoot I can't
think of anybody that's really you know,

288
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.160
obviously you have the Internet people who
don't really know anything that are just like,

289
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.519
oh, that's a cow because there
is a cow in the footage at

290
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:19.480
some point. Yeah, but I
mean some of the comparison shots and everything,

291
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:25.240
that thing was massive and it doesn't
look anything like a cow. And

292
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:27.440
it not that you have to defend
it or anything, but can you kind

293
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:33.039
of briefly give the reason why it's
not a cow? Well, for one,

294
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.279
like through a thermal camera, a
cow's ears are going to light up,

295
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:40.440
they're going to show it's gonna a
thermal camera is going to show heat,

296
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:44.000
and so it's still going to show
heat on a cow's ears. This

297
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:51.680
head is not anything like a cow's
head. And it's it's one solid subject.

298
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:57.079
It's not a it's not a it's
not a it's not multiple animals that

299
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:00.880
group together. There's been people that
have you know, suggested that that's what

300
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:06.519
it is. The problem is,
uh, I actually didn't know this until

301
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:08.759
Uh there was this guy who had
a YouTube channel. His name was Bigfoot

302
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:14.680
Tony and he was playing with the
speeds on it and you could it doesn't

303
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:18.160
it seems like when uh, it
seems like when you know, Ben and

304
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.359
I have it on on film there
it seems as if it's hardly moving at

305
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:26.359
all until you actually play with the
speeds. Then you can see you know,

306
00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.359
movement and moving around very very subtly. What do you think it was

307
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:34.440
doing just checking you guys out or
checking out the cattle or what. I

308
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:38.599
really don't know. I personally think
that the cows were making so much noise

309
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:42.440
that it drew its attention over there
and like, hey, what's going on

310
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:45.799
over here? Why these where are
these guys? I'm gonna go see what

311
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.799
these guys are fussing about. That's
just my opinion. I don't know.

312
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:56.319
Was there any like tracks or anything
where it was at Uh, yeah,

313
00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:03.240
there was a There was two that
were pretty good, I mean good for

314
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:10.279
you know, good enough to cast, But I don't remember how many of

315
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:12.400
them were actually like visible. There
might have been, you know, some

316
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:18.279
other smudges where it's like that's not
really that's not really worth anything. But

317
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:19.720
that's that's kind of where our brain
was at the time, because you know,

318
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:23.480
we didn't know that, oh,
you need to like cast everything that

319
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:26.799
you got. So we got some
casting material. We ended up only having

320
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:33.440
enough to do one of them,
I believe, or we just chose to

321
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:36.960
do the cleanest one out of all
of them. But we did take pictures

322
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:40.720
or Sarah did, my wife,
She did take pictures, you know,

323
00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:45.359
of where the prints were. So
there's the before and after, and we

324
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.839
do have the we still have the
cast of you know, where it was

325
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:55.759
standing on the thermal video. I
don't remember if we've even ever talked about

326
00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:59.480
it really, but I mean you
hear a lot of reports and stuff.

327
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.960
You know, a lot of the
investigations that I did where it was people

328
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.119
who had these things coming up on
their property. You had them messing around

329
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.559
with things on the property itself.
Sometimes it would you know, they would

330
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:15.160
take something and then bring it back
or move it in the yard or something,

331
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.200
or slap the side of the house. Did you experience anything like that.

332
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:25.720
I didn't experience any like uh.
I mean there has been there has

333
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:32.200
been some things that are weird,
but it's hard to it's hard to attribute

334
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:37.039
it completely to bigfoot, Like I
mean, let's say, uh, let's

335
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.799
say like uh, one of our
one of our trees or something that snapped.

336
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:44.599
I mean, there could be other
explanations for that, you know,

337
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:48.480
I'm talking about like like small trees
that are planted m hm. And so

338
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:55.079
it's kind of it's kind of difficult
to determine if that actually was by a

339
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:59.039
bigfoot, but there was a I've
heard a lot of people talk about like

340
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:03.200
an active areas, about hearing having
like their house tapped on or slapped and

341
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:07.400
stuff like that. Yeah, I
never I never noticed that until it must

342
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:11.519
have been a year and a half
or two years ago. I was.

343
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:17.319
I was dead asleep at midnight twelve
thirty sometime around then, and I just

344
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:22.880
hear this bang on the side of
the house and I got up, grabbed

345
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:26.640
my pistol and go outside. I'm
expecting to see like the garbage cans outside

346
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:30.079
like tipped over or something, you
know, like some type of animal messing

347
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:33.599
with it. There was nothing disturbed
on the outside of the house. I

348
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.680
mean, it was just one bang
on the side of the house and that

349
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:45.200
was it. Aside from that,
my my kids have my kids have talked

350
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:49.440
about hearing tapping on their windows at
night, and it's gotten to the point

351
00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:55.880
where I mean, this was this
was a couple of years ago, and

352
00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:59.279
I mean it was to the point
where you know, they were afraid at

353
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:03.799
times, not not constantly, but
when it would happen, it would it

354
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:10.119
would get him spooked out. Has
the dog ever picked up on anything I

355
00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:12.119
mean, I know you can't ask
it or anything, but has it ever

356
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:18.839
alerted that he might be kind of
suspicious that it was alerting to a bigfoot

357
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:25.599
earlier earlier this year, I was
I was sitting outside and had a fire

358
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:30.720
going, and there was I don't
remember what the vocalization was, but there

359
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:34.960
was a vocalization that we heard,
and then he just I mean, he's

360
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:37.960
a big german shepherd. He ran
to the back door of the house and

361
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:41.759
like it was like he didn't want
any smoke. He just wanted to go

362
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.839
inside. He was out, Yeah, I mean, no barking, nothing.

363
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:48.799
He just didn't want to have anything
to do with that. Like,

364
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:53.880
wasn't there another like thermal signature or
something that you guys saw on the field.

365
00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:57.880
Yeah, So we're going down this
We're going down this trail. It's

366
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:02.599
the same area that I all one
in the daylight. We're going down that

367
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:07.720
trail and as we get down there, it smells like it's like a smell

368
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:12.599
that smells like garbage. And it
must be about one o'clock in the morning,

369
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:19.200
and me and Ben and Shane are
just like just staying still for a

370
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:23.799
moment, and Shane's looking around with
the thermal camera and then he's like,

371
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:27.319
oh, he I think she's from
behind a tree over here. And then

372
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:33.640
he's describing like a big head that's
you know, peeking out and nope,

373
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.839
he's looking at that for it seems
as if it was seconds or so.

374
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.799
I don't remember how long it was, but then it was there's a there's

375
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.839
a creek down there, and all
of a sudden, there's just like it

376
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:52.960
sounded like huge objects were getting thrown
into the creek, and uh, we

377
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.079
were just like, oh, we're
getting uh, we're getting pretty worked up.

378
00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:59.680
I think I was more afraid than
everybody else in the group was.

379
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.960
And because we're in the wooded area, they're Shane seeing something behind the tree,

380
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:10.640
and then we're hearing this splashing gun
by the creek, which it sounds

381
00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:15.079
like something is trying to differ our
attention over that way. But I just

382
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:17.839
wanted to get out of the tree
line and get into the open field where

383
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:22.599
I don't have to worry about,
you know, as something right around the

384
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:25.119
next bend that I'm not expecting,
you know, I mean, I know

385
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:27.359
we're going there to I know we're
going there to, you know, try

386
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:33.559
to see if we can see a
sasquatch. But it's when they're that close

387
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:38.319
at night, it does it does
seem kind of scary. I mean,

388
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:44.000
do you feel that they're like a
predator, some sort of predator. Do

389
00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:48.559
you feel threatened by them or I
don't feel like they've ever tried to do

390
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:52.640
anything to like hurt us or anything
like that. I don't. I think

391
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.400
that you know, something like that
could happen with any animal if you tested

392
00:31:56.440 --> 00:32:02.640
your limits. But uh, I've
as far as other stories on the reservation

393
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:09.759
goes, I've heard of them throwing
rocks at people while they're fishing. I've

394
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:15.400
heard that more than one time,
probably three or four times. Have you

395
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:21.200
talked to anybody on the reservation.
That's also how a siding. I've talked

396
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:23.640
to quite a few people that I've
seen them. That was That was one

397
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:29.279
of the first things that I did
after after seeing one in the daylight,

398
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:32.680
was Ah, I was thinking,
man, based on the based on the

399
00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:37.839
time that I spend outside, this
other guy spends like all of his time

400
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:42.960
outside fishing, hunting, everything not
sick, and he just lives up the

401
00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:45.480
road for me, So I was
like, I know that he had experiences

402
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:50.680
with him if if I've if he
spends that much more time outside than I

403
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:53.400
do. And I just started asking
him about it, and yeah, he

404
00:32:53.440 --> 00:33:00.160
would, he would tell me his
stories and they they seemed believable. I'm

405
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:05.920
I'm just wondering how long these things
have lived in that area, in the

406
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:08.480
within like the community like that and
everything. I mean, I know you

407
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:14.960
and I years ago have like talked
about all this stuff, like how they

408
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:20.720
possibly travel around your property and everything, and it's just kind of a really

409
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:25.440
unique environment. There seems to be
like a lot of history with them in

410
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:31.920
the area. I believe it was. It was in the eighties whenever that

411
00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:37.480
deputy sheriff or somebody found the tracks
over there, Yeah, over in Porter

412
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:43.279
Creek, and that's about that's about
ten miles away as far as the crow

413
00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:46.799
flies from where we live. I
mean, I don't think that that's out

414
00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:50.359
of range to I mean, not
necessarily. That's a long time ago,

415
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:57.039
being in the eighties, and what
seemed to be you know, adult sasquatch

416
00:33:57.079 --> 00:34:00.920
footprints, So I wouldn't even know
if like those would still be alive at

417
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:07.960
this point. But one would think
that what we've experienced around our property is

418
00:34:07.280 --> 00:34:14.719
there's a there's at least a possibility
like you're dealing with sasquatch that were maybe

419
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:22.519
related to the report from Port Creek
and around the area back in the eighties.

420
00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:25.360
You know, everybody always ask the
same question, what do you think

421
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:30.840
they are? But like, does
their behavior come across as an animal or

422
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:34.960
a human to you? I don't
know. I mean we have there's been

423
00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:37.440
there's been things that I've heard when
Ben and I have you know, been

424
00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:45.280
outside back in twenty thirteen, like
by the fire where it sounded like there

425
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:50.599
was some type of death talking going
on. I mean, if they're if

426
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:55.719
they're talking, that seems like it's
that seems like it's uh, it sounds

427
00:34:55.719 --> 00:35:00.039
like it's getting pretty close to human, you know. I mean, you

428
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:01.880
say, a lot more primitive,
but uh, I mean, if they

429
00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:08.000
got to if they have some type
of language that they're able to communicate with,

430
00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:13.639
it seems like they're seems like they're
of a higher intelligence than you know,

431
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:17.239
just a gorilla. You know,
what was the most recent thing that

432
00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:22.880
you attribute to them that's happened on
your property in the last couple of months.

433
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:28.079
There's been there's been some you know, distant things that I've heard.

434
00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:35.400
Uh, some maybe even closer than
others. But uh, Chris got some

435
00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:43.800
Chris got some recordings in August that
he emailed to me, and you know,

436
00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:51.199
they're from our property and they it
sounds like it sounds like some type

437
00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:57.519
of yelling going around going on in
the field behind us, kind of by

438
00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:02.239
the river. And there's accompanied with
some tree knocks as well. I thought

439
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:07.159
that was pretty interesting. If you
walk out your back door, how far

440
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:12.239
away is the recorder that he has
set up? Probably three hundred yards?

441
00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:20.639
Man, doesn't that spook you out
a little bit? Like these recordings that

442
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:25.039
you know it's picking up and like
the vocalizations and stuff is like, I

443
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:30.360
mean, it's right there. You
know. Like whenever I was actively going

444
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:37.360
out in the field at the peak
of my research career whatever you want to

445
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:43.159
call it, I was driving like
three hours away from my house and you're

446
00:36:43.199 --> 00:36:45.880
talking about like, yeah, I
walk out my back door and it's just

447
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:50.679
like right there, you know.
Yeah, I mean that would be unnerving,

448
00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:54.760
I would think. Yeah. And
the thing about back in twenty thirteen

449
00:36:54.880 --> 00:37:00.360
is there would be times, like
even on work nights, that I'd stay

450
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:05.440
up really late, like twelve thirty
one o'clock in the morning, and it

451
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:08.679
seemed like it seemed like around midnight, like eleven thirty and midnight, it

452
00:37:08.679 --> 00:37:13.320
seems like the odds were better of
something happening, you know, as it

453
00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:15.480
got a little bit later. Yeah, And I simply I simply haven't been

454
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:19.159
staying up that late anymore. And
that's, you know why, A lot

455
00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:22.320
of why, I mean, you
just get keep burned out doing that.

456
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:24.920
But there was there was a there
was a good solid year that I was

457
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:30.679
staying up a long time. I
remember back whenever we used to both be

458
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:36.239
staying up late at night on the
phone together like a couple of little high

459
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:40.840
school girls, and like listening to
stuff like over the phone, like being

460
00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:45.400
on the phone with you and then
like howling and stuff in the background.

461
00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:50.800
Yeah, I remember. I remember
specifically, I was on the phone with

462
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:54.239
you one time, and I mean, this wasn't there's a there's an old

463
00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:57.880
house that's on our property. It's
not the house we live in, but

464
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:02.000
we use it for storage and stuff. And I was sitting at the gazebo

465
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:07.280
and I hear I hear a slap
on that house, and I was like,

466
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:12.440
did you hear that? You're yeah, yeah, yeah, But I

467
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:16.639
remember that and I remember there.
I remember talking with you, and you

468
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:20.440
know, there was some other things
that I believe you heard over the phone

469
00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:23.239
too. I can't remember what it
was, but there's something triggering in my

470
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:30.159
memory about the barn. It's not
your barn, it's not on your property,

471
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:34.400
but it's close by. I think, yeah, yeah, Uh,

472
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:44.679
one time, one time, my
friend Kirk and uh West Germer and Shannon

473
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:51.360
Shannon Lagreaux was over and we took
a walk over there, and it was

474
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:53.679
there was quite a bit of rainfall
that was coming down that night. So

475
00:38:54.400 --> 00:39:00.880
the at the time it was the
it was our tribes barn. So it

476
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:04.119
wasn't like it wasn't like we were
trespassing or anything like that, like we

477
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:08.239
could we could beat there, but
they just they had just used it for

478
00:39:08.599 --> 00:39:13.480
like storing like heavy equipment and stuff
at the time, I believe. So

479
00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:17.639
we were just we're just standing under
there and because it's you know, rain

480
00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:22.079
and hard, we're in that barn. And I'm not I'm not attributing this

481
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:25.199
to Bigfoot and I'm not I'm not
saying that, I'm not saying that it's

482
00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:32.440
impossible that there wasn't some person with
a headlamp but uh, as we're in

483
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:37.320
the barn, Kirk says, hey, what's that light that's heading towards us

484
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:43.280
right now? And it looks as
if it's just a like like a white

485
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:45.199
light that's coming towards us. And
so I'm assuming it's like somebody in a

486
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:47.800
headlamp. But I'm thinking, like, what are they doing at one o'clock

487
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:52.480
in the morning with you know,
headlamp on, you know, coming through

488
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:57.639
the woods. And uh, Kirk's
the one with a thermal camera at that

489
00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:01.159
time, and so it kept coming
towards us and then it just dove towards

490
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:07.840
the ground. Kirk was saying like
he could he he was the first one

491
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:12.039
to see the light that was coming
towards us, and he was just saying

492
00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:15.679
that there was there was nothing on
thermal. As he was looking at it,

493
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:19.880
he couldn't see anything on thermal.
He could see the white light,

494
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:23.239
but when he's looking through the thermal
imager, there's nothing like he should be

495
00:40:23.320 --> 00:40:28.840
able to see it. And that's
uh that that's kind of going down like

496
00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:32.800
a rabbit hole. Not saying that, I'm not saying that it was anything.

497
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:37.559
Maybe maybe we were looking at a
person with a white head lamp.

498
00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:43.920
That's that's possible. But it was
weird that they weren't detected through the thermal

499
00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:49.960
imager because there wasn't there wasn't a
lot of in the in that particular area.

500
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:52.679
There wasn't a lot of like underbrush
that I would think would be enough

501
00:40:52.719 --> 00:41:00.840
to diffuse the thermal imager. And
and where did they go that I don't

502
00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:07.360
know, Like every like everything,
everything like stopped right there, like as

503
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:12.519
far as the light goes, and
then on then on the other side of

504
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:16.239
the building, we hear this smack
as we're in there, and then that's

505
00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:20.480
when we are getting a little bit
jumpy, and you know, we got

506
00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:24.480
out of there. But I don't
I don't think that I don't know what

507
00:41:25.159 --> 00:41:29.719
any of that was. But that's
just that story has been told before.

508
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:34.400
It's not necessarily my favorite story to
tell. But that happened, and there

509
00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:38.840
could be a there could be a
perfectly you know, logical explanation as to,

510
00:41:39.039 --> 00:41:45.159
you know, what all of that
was. But I do think that

511
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:49.599
I do think it's possible that weird
things happen, you know as well,

512
00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:53.559
right right, And so I don't
think like we were seeing I don't think

513
00:41:53.599 --> 00:42:00.199
that we were seeing like a sad
I don't attribute that sasquatch to that life

514
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:05.360
to a sasquatch like uh hatching you
know out of a portal or anything like

515
00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:10.800
that. But I mean you have
seen what people would call orbs or strange

516
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:15.679
lights in the area. I mean, I'm not tribuning in that is necessarily

517
00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:21.079
connected to bigfoot or anything, but
I mean it is definitely something weird.

518
00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:28.440
I mean, I maybe it was
a person. I don't know. There's

519
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:31.559
been a as far as like the
as far as like the strange lights that

520
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:36.519
like, like I don't even know, I don't even know what an orb

521
00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:38.760
is, but like a strange light. There was one time I was outside

522
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:43.880
and I could see this. I
could see this red light that was,

523
00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:46.360
you know, just one red light
that was, you know, moving over

524
00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:52.840
by the tree line. It's not
impossible that what I saw wasn't somebody with

525
00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:57.800
a red headlamp on that was like
you know, looking to uh pick mushrooms

526
00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:01.360
or something like that. That's that's
possibility, but it was just it was

527
00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:06.639
weird seeing that red light moving through
there. So there's there's that, and

528
00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:09.239
you know, on a on another
time, I seen this, uh a

529
00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:20.800
couple of or this orangish light orangish
reddish light on the hillside that I've never

530
00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:24.440
seen before. It could have been
some strange you know, natural human light

531
00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:29.320
over and off in the distance,
but it was just weird. I'd never

532
00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:35.960
seen it before. There was a
strange coyote pelt or something. Yeah.

533
00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:38.599
Did I send you pictures of that
at the time. I don't. I

534
00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:44.039
don't remember if you sent me pictures
or not. I'm trying to remember like

535
00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:47.840
everything, Like what was the story
behind that? Oh well, I mean,

536
00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:53.199
it was just it was just an
obscure spot on the on the Barberire

537
00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:58.400
fence, you know, that's on
the border of our property, and I

538
00:43:58.519 --> 00:44:01.960
just happened to be walking through or
it wasn't like it wasn't like it was

539
00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:07.800
in a spot that stood out or
anything. But it was a coyote pelt,

540
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:12.079
just like the fur you know,
attached. Yeah, not a body

541
00:44:12.159 --> 00:44:15.199
of a coyote, not like a
coyote got caught up in the Barboier fence.

542
00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:20.480
No, not a body, no, as if it was skinned and

543
00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:29.599
it was just wrapped around the the
Barboier fence. And I don't I just

544
00:44:29.599 --> 00:44:32.920
thought that was weird because that's not
that's not that's not something that's gonna that's

545
00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:37.400
like funny, it's not something that's
gonna get my attention. Like, if

546
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:39.440
you wanted to get my attention,
you know, do something to weird me

547
00:44:39.480 --> 00:44:44.119
out, put that on my windshield, you know, right, And that's

548
00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:47.239
creepy, dude. Yeah, I
don't know what to make of that.

549
00:44:49.559 --> 00:44:52.840
So you've you know, gone to
other places besides your property. Have you

550
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:58.760
had anything where it happened somewhere else? Oh? Yeah, definitely in the

551
00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:06.159
Cascades, I have. There's been. I've been on I've been on trips

552
00:45:06.159 --> 00:45:10.519
with friends in the Olympics where other
people have had stuff happen. But you

553
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:15.639
know, when you're spread out at
different camps and stuff like that, everybody's

554
00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:19.559
you know, off doing their own
thing. There there's a good chance that

555
00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:22.480
you're not going to be a part
of any activity that's had on that trip.

556
00:45:23.079 --> 00:45:27.440
In the Cascades, there's been,
there's been. Uh, there's a

557
00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:31.480
place that we go to and yeah, there's there's quite a few things that

558
00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:38.920
have happened throughout the years. Good
vocalizations, uh, really loud knocks and

559
00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:44.400
it's it has a it has a
good history of reports throughout the years as

560
00:45:44.440 --> 00:45:46.239
well. I mean, I know
a few of the people that you go

561
00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:52.519
out there with and they all have
stories from there as well that are pretty

562
00:45:52.599 --> 00:45:59.599
crazy. It sounds like a pretty
active area. Yeah, it's been active

563
00:45:59.639 --> 00:46:05.280
for a long time. Why do
you think, like you have like that

564
00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:10.519
spot right, and it seems like
a lot of the stuff that happens there

565
00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:20.039
is like loud, really bold stuff, and then you have the behavior around

566
00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:23.639
your house, Like why do you
think like the differences in behavior, like

567
00:46:23.719 --> 00:46:28.239
do you think they're just trying to
like sneak around or something where you're at

568
00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:32.440
or are they more used to being
around people where you are compared out there,

569
00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:36.400
or I don't know. I would
I would kind of think that in

570
00:46:36.440 --> 00:46:40.000
that area in the Cascades that they
would feel and this is just my thought.

571
00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:45.559
I would think that they would feel
certain areas like a little more entitled,

572
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:49.360
like, hey, nobody camps here. You guys shouldn't be camping here,

573
00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:52.679
you know. And that's that's just
my that's just my thoughts. So

574
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:58.559
I think that's why some of the
behavior can come across as a little more

575
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:05.599
bold on their part. But one
thing that this isn't This isn't anything that's

576
00:47:05.639 --> 00:47:09.519
groundbreaking or anything like that. I
would imagine that they probably sound similar in

577
00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:17.039
different regions, but the whoops,
like the whoop like that kind of vocalization,

578
00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:22.679
they basically sound close to identical from
the whoops that I've heard here and

579
00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:30.039
over there. Do you have people
still coming to your property and investigating other

580
00:47:30.119 --> 00:47:34.440
than just you know, setting up
the audio recorders. No, I mean

581
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:38.039
as far as sometimes we'll have sometimes
we'll have friends come over for a camp

582
00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:44.239
out or in a barbecue and things
like that. But other than that,

583
00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:49.280
I mean, it's it isn't like
it isn't like before. Not that you

584
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:52.639
ever tried to, like, you
know, put the limelight on your property

585
00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:55.559
or anything with it. But I
just know that, you know, like

586
00:47:55.639 --> 00:47:59.800
you're saying before, there's a lot
of people always trying to come to your

587
00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:06.400
property and investigating stuff. And I
just wondered if you had kind of squashed

588
00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:10.639
that and eased off from that.
Yeah, I mean we've we've definitely,

589
00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:15.559
we've definitely held off on that.
But the reason that we the reason that

590
00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:20.519
we allowed some people to you know, come out beforehand, was because you

591
00:48:20.519 --> 00:48:22.119
know, we have when you when
you're saying, hey, I got a

592
00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:28.239
thermal video, and we got these
audio recordings that we believe are sasquatch and

593
00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:32.199
stuff like that, and you got
enough of them. It's you're kind of

594
00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:37.360
that's kind of big talk. So
you have to you kind of have to

595
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:40.159
have people verify that you're not just
you know, full of crap, and

596
00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:44.840
that there's legitimacy to it. So
that was the that was the whole intention

597
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:49.119
of doing that in the first place. Yeah, I mean, there's not

598
00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:54.920
too many people that are in a
situation like you, uh, where they've

599
00:48:54.960 --> 00:49:00.360
actually faced the fire of the Bigfoot
community, you know which and be a

600
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:05.039
difficult task. It causes a lot
of problems because, you know, the

601
00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:07.159
first thing people do is try to
pick it apart and dissect it and call

602
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:12.039
you a liar and call you a
hoaxer and everything else. And that's to

603
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:19.039
me, one of the interesting things
about your thermal footage is that it's held

604
00:49:19.079 --> 00:49:23.400
up to scrutiny with anybody that's actually
looked into it and actually taken the time

605
00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:28.199
to verify any of it. One
story, the guy who had the cattle

606
00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:36.400
that was here, he had a
he would he would you know, lease

607
00:49:36.440 --> 00:49:40.320
out the field from the tribe behind
us. And you know, when he

608
00:49:40.320 --> 00:49:45.079
would be tending to his cattle and
stuff. He told me that one time

609
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:49.599
he was down by the river and
he saw something brown that was in the

610
00:49:49.719 --> 00:49:54.920
river and it was bent over with
its head underwater, and it was harry

611
00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:59.039
and brown. And I was like, was it a bear deer? Elk

612
00:49:59.480 --> 00:50:01.320
no, no, no enough.
It was on two legs. It was

613
00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:06.800
bent over with its head in the
water, on two legs. Yeah.

614
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:08.840
And this guy wasn't This guy wasn't
like into bigfoot or anything like that by

615
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:14.360
any means. I mean, how
deep is the river right there? He

616
00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:19.239
described it being in the summertime,
so I mean there's probably some areas where

617
00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:25.719
you know, it's still there's still
deep pockets. Yeah, I don't know.

618
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:30.119
It seemed like he said, it
was like up to its waist and

619
00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:35.440
it just had its it had its
head underwater. Like I don't I don't

620
00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:37.920
know what it would be tuned with
its head underwater. I'm sure there's a

621
00:50:37.960 --> 00:50:42.360
good reason for that, but I
just can't think of it. I could

622
00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:45.840
it have been trying to fish or
catch a fish or something. That's the

623
00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:50.360
only thing that makes sense to me, because it doesn't seem like a very

624
00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:52.840
smart way to take a drink of
water by putting your head on it.

625
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:57.639
I know this woman here in Oklahoma, and very early on in the podcast,

626
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:00.880
I had her and her sister come
on, and her her sister had

627
00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:06.159
a sighting of what I believe was
a bigfoot while she was fishing. But

628
00:51:06.360 --> 00:51:15.199
like the one that she saw was
underwater and raised up from beneath the surface.

629
00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:19.480
Like she never saw it like get
in the water or anything. She

630
00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:22.559
just saw it kind of bob up
and then go back under and she freaked

631
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:29.639
out and left. And I this
area where she was fishing at was a

632
00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:34.400
river where they do a lot of
noodling, which is hand fishing, like

633
00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:37.320
catching catfish with their hands, like
diving under the water and catching fish.

634
00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:42.280
And I wondered if, like,
is it possible that they had seen like

635
00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:46.639
people doing that there and that that's
what they were doing. It was just

636
00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:50.920
so weird, So like I wonder, you know, if this was like

637
00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:55.440
another case where maybe it was fishing, it could have been. That's that's

638
00:51:55.440 --> 00:51:59.800
one of the first things that I
was thinking of, because it's not like

639
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:02.320
it lost its ring and it's looking
for that or anything. I mean,

640
00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:06.039
there's just like, you know,
you were talking about your grandfather's story.

641
00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:10.039
But there's like lots of stories of
like them taking like fish from fishermen and

642
00:52:10.079 --> 00:52:16.159
stuff, especially out where you live. Yeah, I've heard of I've heard

643
00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:22.079
one of the fishermen telling me about
going to check his net and seeing a

644
00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:27.480
sasquatch at his net pulling fish out
of it. And I don't remember what.

645
00:52:27.679 --> 00:52:31.000
I don't remember he said that he
did afterwards, if he left or

646
00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:37.360
if it ran off or what happened. But there's that story in particular,

647
00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:42.000
and I've heard I've heard of them
doing that on other reservations as well,

648
00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:46.239
but I think that's the only one
that I'm familiar with that they've done on

649
00:52:46.280 --> 00:52:50.360
our reservation. I mean, if
they've done it once, I'm sure they

650
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:52.400
do it all the time, because
I mean that's it's not very hard to

651
00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:57.119
watch somebody fish with a net and
like, oh, you just have to

652
00:52:57.159 --> 00:53:00.760
pull the fish out of there.
Cool. Yeah. One one story that

653
00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:05.880
I forgot about was I can't remember
if it was at the beginning of twenty

654
00:53:05.960 --> 00:53:07.719
twenty two or if it was the
beginning of twenty twenty one, but I

655
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:12.639
just remember it was early in the
year. I can't remember how long.

656
00:53:13.159 --> 00:53:15.639
How far in advance that he said
it was. I thought it was a

657
00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:20.800
couple of weeks. But I go
to the I go to the gas station

658
00:53:22.039 --> 00:53:29.039
and it was it's on the reservation. It's really busy, and there's a

659
00:53:29.079 --> 00:53:31.639
lot of people and a long line
in there. And the guy that's the

660
00:53:31.679 --> 00:53:37.360
guy that was working in there,
he was he's close to my age and

661
00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:42.199
just he starts talking. I'm at
the counter and he goes, hey,

662
00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:45.440
I saw one of those creepy black
things cross the road by your house a

663
00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:50.199
couple of weeks ago. I was
kind of embarrassed because he's talking about this

664
00:53:50.280 --> 00:53:53.519
in public, you know, and
there's people around. And I was like,

665
00:53:53.800 --> 00:54:00.239
all right, so you mean like
a sasquatch. He's like eh,

666
00:54:00.559 --> 00:54:02.840
And I was like, what was
it doing. He goes, they just

667
00:54:02.920 --> 00:54:07.639
crossed the road and went and the
trees be over by your place. He's

668
00:54:07.679 --> 00:54:10.239
like, it was all it was
all black. And I was like,

669
00:54:10.360 --> 00:54:13.400
was it big? And he goes, no, it wasn't that big.

670
00:54:13.480 --> 00:54:16.360
It was close to our side.
And that was crossing the road by your

671
00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:21.360
house, like the road that goes
in front of your house. Yeah,

672
00:54:21.360 --> 00:54:22.599
there's a culvert over there. And
he said that's where it was. BA.

673
00:54:24.079 --> 00:54:28.559
Has that area across from your house
been developed at all? No,

674
00:54:29.280 --> 00:54:34.360
because you know I always thought that
that was a good spot over there.

675
00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:39.320
Uh huh, No, there's no, there's not much that's there's not much

676
00:54:39.519 --> 00:54:44.639
in the general area that's changed over
the years. Wow. I would think

677
00:54:44.639 --> 00:54:46.840
that a bigfoot would if there was
a whole lot of changes, And if

678
00:54:46.840 --> 00:54:50.119
you were a Bigfoot, I would
think that that would, you know,

679
00:54:50.199 --> 00:54:54.239
be something that would maybe make you
think, like it's getting little too populated

680
00:54:54.280 --> 00:54:59.480
here, maybe we should not come
here so often whatever. I don't know,

681
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:01.920
I mean, and maybe that's the
reason that they've hung around there for

682
00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:07.400
so long, because it is a
reservation, so you don't have like a

683
00:55:07.480 --> 00:55:13.960
whole lot of like booming growth in
population or you know, clearcutting and new

684
00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:17.840
buildings being built and stuff like that
over the years like you do in regular

685
00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:23.800
society. Yeah. I mean,
it's just it's private land that's around us,

686
00:55:23.840 --> 00:55:28.480
and you know, it's there's it's
not like there's a big housing development

687
00:55:28.519 --> 00:55:34.840
anywhere close. You've got the audio
recorder on your property, but uh,

688
00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:39.960
something that you know, I'm sure
people listening would want to know, do

689
00:55:40.119 --> 00:55:45.679
you have video cameras or trail cams
or anything set up on your property trying

690
00:55:45.679 --> 00:55:54.480
to get footage of one. Uh, well, Chris has a Chris Spencer

691
00:55:54.519 --> 00:56:01.400
has a contraption that he set up. It's something without without like giving too

692
00:56:01.480 --> 00:56:07.440
much detail. Yeah, like I
don't really know that. I don't really

693
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:10.960
know that he wants. I don't
really think I could speak to his setup

694
00:56:12.000 --> 00:56:16.119
that he has going on, but
uh, he does have he does have

695
00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:24.480
something that he's trying out. So
you have a YouTube channel, Yeah,

696
00:56:24.559 --> 00:56:31.519
and you've posted some of the stuff
from your property on there. But talk

697
00:56:31.559 --> 00:56:37.039
a little bit about the documentary that
you made. So when you were when

698
00:56:37.039 --> 00:56:44.480
we were talking about that area and
the cascades that we go, that's a

699
00:56:44.599 --> 00:56:47.880
lot of those stories, are you
know from then? And uh, it

700
00:56:47.920 --> 00:56:52.599
was when I when I made that, Like we go we go out camping

701
00:56:54.360 --> 00:57:00.199
quite a few times per year at
that particular spot, and it doesn't like

702
00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:01.960
it. It isn't like something I
mean just like just like our property.

703
00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:06.480
It's not like just because you go
outside, it's not like something's gonna happen

704
00:57:06.519 --> 00:57:10.440
every night, right, But there's
there's certain places like our property in that

705
00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:16.280
place in the cascades where you definitely
have better odds than other places over the

706
00:57:16.400 --> 00:57:21.280
years. There's some stories from there
that I wanted to share, and it

707
00:57:21.280 --> 00:57:24.679
took me a long time, but
I finally did put up a thirty five

708
00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:30.599
minute little documentary on you know,
some things that were that we considered interesting

709
00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:37.599
and some vocalizations that were captured.
Uh. Kirk actually got a couple of

710
00:57:37.679 --> 00:57:42.559
really good recordings that are on there. Kirk Brandenburg, do you plan on

711
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:50.079
doing future documentaries? I would like
to. I would like to. I

712
00:57:50.119 --> 00:57:52.159
mean when I'm when I go out
camping, you know, I I take

713
00:57:52.559 --> 00:57:55.360
video of you know, stuff that
I think looks cool and stuff like that.

714
00:57:57.159 --> 00:58:00.440
But uh, I mean, it's
just a matter of if there's if

715
00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:07.400
there's enough evidence that you know,
gets built up from you know, different

716
00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:10.519
different trips that we take. You
know, it's a it's a strong possibility.

717
00:58:10.880 --> 00:58:15.679
Have you ever thought about making a
documentary about your story and your property

718
00:58:15.719 --> 00:58:21.719
and everything? Yeah, I have, and that's I've I've started it before

719
00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:24.840
I've stopped. I've but yeah,
that is one of the things that I've

720
00:58:25.599 --> 00:58:30.400
planned to do so that you know, everything can I think I think everything

721
00:58:30.440 --> 00:58:37.320
would be put into a better context
for everybody and they'd have a better understanding

722
00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:40.840
of you know, what we're talking
about. Yeah, I mean, because

723
00:58:40.840 --> 00:58:45.239
it's an interesting story and it's you
know, that's what I try to express

724
00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:52.880
to people that Like, for instance, the other night, I was a

725
00:58:52.000 --> 00:59:01.159
guest on Bigfoot Society with Jeremiah Byron, And it's kind of weird whenever I'm

726
00:59:01.199 --> 00:59:07.239
in the guest seat because I'm telling
my stories and you know, people want

727
00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:12.280
to hear the experiences and everything.
But that stuff took place over a very

728
00:59:12.920 --> 00:59:16.199
long amount of time, you know, and you're just getting it condensed down

729
00:59:16.239 --> 00:59:20.000
into an hour. And I feel
that your property is the same way.

730
00:59:20.039 --> 00:59:24.760
There's so much stuff that's happened and
been experienced at your house and around your

731
00:59:24.840 --> 00:59:29.880
house, but it's over an extremely
large amount of time, and I mean

732
00:59:29.920 --> 00:59:34.639
it's still ongoing. It's still something
that's happening now. So to condense the

733
00:59:34.679 --> 00:59:38.119
story down and putting it sort of
in a sequence of events and timeline,

734
00:59:38.159 --> 00:59:44.480
I think would be really interesting and
beneficial. Yeah. And as I was

735
00:59:44.480 --> 00:59:50.280
telling you before we started, before
you started recording, I had just talked

736
00:59:50.320 --> 00:59:53.559
with a guy yesterday who was you
know, telling me his bigfoot stories that

737
00:59:53.719 --> 00:59:59.440
you know, he had from the
last year or so, just on another

738
00:59:59.480 --> 01:00:05.199
area of the and we're not we're
not. We're not like these special Indians

739
01:00:05.239 --> 01:00:08.960
on the reservation who you know,
uh get these they're not. It's not

740
01:00:09.000 --> 01:00:14.559
like we have visitations or anything like
that. Like they pass through from time

741
01:00:14.559 --> 01:00:19.519
to time. There's other places.
There's other places on the reservation where you

742
01:00:19.559 --> 01:00:24.400
know people, other people got stories
as well. So it's it's not for

743
01:00:24.519 --> 01:00:28.840
our reservation. It's not that special. There's there's quite a few people that

744
01:00:28.920 --> 01:00:32.920
have you seen them before? So
what's the name of your YouTube channel if

745
01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:40.960
people want to check it out,
It's a Salish Sasquatch. Salish Sasquatch say

746
01:00:42.000 --> 01:00:45.800
that six times fast. I guess
you probably could. All right, man,

747
01:00:45.119 --> 01:00:49.440
uh, I appreciate you coming on
and talking to me, of course.

748
01:00:49.599 --> 01:00:53.199
I'm glad that our friendship has been
rekindled. Yeah, for sure,

749
01:00:53.719 --> 01:00:58.079
thanks for having me on. Yeah, man, I'm definitely gonna have you

750
01:00:58.119 --> 01:01:01.480
on in the future. We can
share some more exciting stuff from the Brown

751
01:01:01.559 --> 01:01:07.960
property. And if you've encountered a
bigfoot or something else you can't explain,
