Welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Vic, nice to talk to you.
Speaker 1: Well, it's great talking with you and of course thank
you for your time. Rodney, please give us a brief
bio on yourself.
Speaker 3: Well, as a farm boy, grew up in Aisle, hunted
all my life. Thought I knew everything there was out there,
very athletic, it was all state and football. I thought
I was bad until nineteen eighty three, August and nineteen
eighty three, and I walked into something that was ten
times worse than anything I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that you did. Was the woods your addiction before
nineteen eighty three the night when you had your encounter?
Or did you just like spending time out there? But
it wasn't exactly that important to you?
Speaker 2: No, I lived in the woods. I love being in
the woods.
Speaker 3: I used to go to Tennessee all the time when
I was a child, and always in my grandfather's woods,
So I never feared anything. I've seen bear and everything else,
But a dog man's a whole different story.
Speaker 1: Yes they are. After you saw that dog men that night,
or as you put it's a huge wearwolf. Did you
ever think about all the time you had spent in
the woods already in the likelihood that these guys have
been watching you, who know, so many times without you
knowing it.
Speaker 3: Yes, it does change your outlook on everything.
Speaker 1: Yes, got a tendency to do that, definitely. Do you
see that as a form of solace knowing that more
than likely you were watched by them countless times, but
never harmed, never killed, You were just observed. Again, we
don't know that's the case, but by good money that happened.
Speaker 3: You know. Being in a military, staying in the woods
as much as we did, it never bothered me. I
always just had in my mind that they're out there
and my friends don't know, and it's something you can't
talk about. We're in a military, So every time I
went the woods, it was always on my mind, daytime
or nighttime. But I'm not I'm still I'm not afraid
to go in the woods because it could have killed me.
Speaker 1: That night's Could you realize that, and you mentioned the
time you spent in the military. Which branch did you
serve in?
Speaker 2: The Army?
Speaker 1: Ah, the Army. Well, thank you so much for your service.
I really appreciate it.
Speaker 2: You're welcome.
Speaker 1: I do. And from one understand while you were serving
in Germany, you were given an ominous warning when you
were about to do an exercise in the black forest.
What more can you tell us about that?
Speaker 3: Okay, we had a mission and we're a four man
team and they told us to beware of the Banchees. Well,
we hide from special forces. They got to find us
because of what we have, and so we thought the
Banchees were a special force group because we were the
Charlie Doves. Well their bangy after I find out when
I get home. Now they military get the computer, the internet,
their bangies, a dog man or their bigfoot. And I
was like, those people should have let us known, you know,
just don't give us a name and say, well, look
for these guys. That could imagine why it happened if
a dog man walked up on us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not going to do that much good. If
they tell you to watch out for something, but you
have no clue what you're watching out for I agree,
that doesn't make sense at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's when you're looking for humans.
Speaker 1: I'd say, so as the listeners are going to hear,
you've had your fear sure of cryptid encounters over the years,
and from what I understand, you had a frightening one
last year with something that, let's just say, wasn't a
dog man and your wife saw it too. Please tell
us a story behind that experience.
Speaker 2: Okay, my dog had to go outside and she weighs
over one hundred pounds.
Speaker 3: A letter outside, her feet hit the grass. Next thing
I knows, a hundred and some pound dog flying in
the air, and she hit me in the chest, knock
me off my porch. Her head was looking at the pond,
so I turned my head to the pond, see what
she's looking at, and there's this creature, no hair, long neck,
a human face, and a long legs staring at me. Well,
I went back inside and my wife's like, what's wrong,
and I said, I just seen something outside and it
don't make no sense. Well, the next night she let
the other dog out and it happened to her and
I heard her scream and she come flying in the
door and she said, there's something out there I've never
seen before, and it's evil. And I said, well, tell
me what you saw. And she described the same thing
I just described. And she says, I've never seen an
animal with a long neck and a human face. I said,
I don't think that's human, babe, that's something else. So
now my head's on a swivel out here because I
do have bigfoot here, but they don't bother me.
Speaker 2: They stay over there, and I stay on my side.
I hear them talk, I hear them who, I hear everything.
Speaker 3: I love sitting outside of night time, that's when all
the action starts. I just don't want to see another
dog man. A dog man in the bigfoot smell the same,
except of bigfoot don't always smell. I've been close as
I've been to a bigfoot is on the side of
my glass window. It closest outside is ten feet. So
they don't bother me. Dog man does. The government should
let people know these things are real, because I can't
imagine how many people has been killed by these things.
Speaker 2: I got lucky.
Speaker 1: Well that dog man did have you dead to rights,
as the listeners are going to hear. I mean, like
I told you in our first conversation, if I wanted
to kill you had every opportunity to do that, but
it didn't. So that definitely counts for something. And you
mentioned knowing what a dog man smells like. What did
that dog man smell like?
Speaker 2: Sulfur? Skunk? Little skunk to it? But as bad BeO,
and it's a smell, it's a lot worse than a skunk.
The skunk will dissipate in a while.
Speaker 3: This thing stinks, it stays around. I would say some
people would get nauseous by the smell if they have
a weak stomach. That's my warning. When I smell that,
I know it's either a big foot or a dog man.
And I've smelled that smell many a times.
Speaker 1: I'll bet it took some time to get that smell
out of you.
Speaker 2: Now I still know what it smells like. My neighbors
found out what it smells like to their second day
living here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they come over and ask us about it. That
we had to tell them. Now they sat outside with
their lights on or they.
Speaker 2: Have a gun. I told them to just put the
gun away and turn them eyes off because you're messing
with me. So they do that now when they turn
a light on, I can't see well.
Speaker 1: Like I told you before, you don't frighten easily. If
you've had a dog mean encounter that you'd like to
speak with me about, whether in private or on the show,
please go to Dogmanencounters dot com and submit a report.
Let's talk about what happened last year with that strange cryptid.
You said it had a human like face. How do
you describe its face?
Speaker 3: Big like black eye? It was guys were sunking in.
They weren't. They weren't like human, they were sunking in.
It off evil, That's what I can say. You felt
the evil on it. I don't know what it was.
I've seen videos. I still don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: Didn't have its mouth open.
Speaker 3: No, it's just staring right at me, staring right at
her too. She said it was only twenty feet from
the back door, so it was pretty close.
Speaker 2: But it had no smell.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's way too close for comfort, it really is.
You said that as soon as your female's feet hit
the grass, the next thing you knew she was hitting
in the chest. Is that because she jumped back towards
you on her own, or she was thrown.
Speaker 3: She jumped back. I mean, she was that scared, and
she jumped so hard. She jumped high and hit me
in the chest. So she jumps six feet easy. I
knew she was scared, but when I seen it, I
closed the door. I got her in the door and
I closed it, and I told my wife, I don't
know what I've seen, but there's something out there. And
she had her encountered. The next night she wanted me
to let you know that that happened to.
Speaker 1: Oh, no, I believe you. I believe her too. Did
you see any ears on the side of this thing's head?
Speaker 3: No, no ears. It was smooth head, no hair, no
hair on the body either.
Speaker 1: What colored skin did it have on its face?
Speaker 3: It was dark, so it looked more white, more like
hell white. The body looked same the body in the head,
everything was the same same color.
Speaker 1: That is so freaky. How tall did you say it was?
Speaker 3: Oh, it was bigger than a deer. And we got
deer weighed over three hundred pounds here, so it was
over four feet because of five feet on all fours.
I mean, if it would have stood up, it would
have been a real tall You could tell this thing
to stand up, But it was on fours. I mean
it had to kind of like human feet and didn't
have deer hoods. And no, I mean it is. It
was just a strange creature.
Speaker 1: It sure sounds like it was. What kind of legs
did it have?
Speaker 2: Legs?
Speaker 3: Roll along and skinny, no muscle. The legs, like I said,
were like humans. But it was walking on fours. There
wasn't no bending the knee like how we would have to.
We got on all fours. It was kind of weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say weird doesn't do it any justice. I
can only imagine what you must have been thinking after
what happened that Night's your dog? Does she all but
refuse to go back outside? Or were you able to
get her to go out without too much trouble?
Speaker 2: No, she's always now on her head's on the swivel.
Now she's scared of death.
Speaker 3: That night, both of my dogs are, so I gotta
go out there and stand with them. I put them
on chains. Why don't run because I know you know,
big football heat and things. So I take care of
my animals.
Speaker 1: Good man, I'm glad you do that. All right, Rodney,
Let's get to brass tacks now. Please tell us about
your encounter. Give us ever last detail that comes to mind.
Speaker 3: Okay, I lived outside of Pitch in Ohio nineteen eighty three, August,
about nine thirty going on ten, maybe as dark, and
my car was parked down by the barn. I lived
in a farmhouse. We had the night light in between
the barn and the house. And when I stepped out
and turned around the hut shrubs, I kept walking and
next thing I know, I almost walked into this creature.
It was all black. The smell was ungodly. The smells,
like I said, it was ungodly. There's no reflection of
the light because the light was behind it. All I
see was black, black eyes, but they squinted and he
was in a pounced position. I'm standing two and a
half three feet from it. I almost walked into it.
Speaker 2: The light wasn't on.
Speaker 3: I would walk right into it. And the only thing
I said was, God, get me out this. And I'm
looking at this creature that has pointed ears, a fat snout,
not long, long hair on the head the shoulders and
goes down the middle of the back down to the
back of the rest of the hair is short. The
tail was a half a tail, but wide. The legs
were dog legs, human arms, human shoulders, the claws are black.
I thought I was gonna die, so I started backing up,
trying to get away from it. And as I'm asking
God to please give me out this, my feet hit
the concrete. I'm backing up from it. I'll take my
off of it, and it grinned at me. That scared me.
When it grinned at me, that just messed with me.
That I just took me into another level of what
I got back in the house and I'm trying to
move a gas stove, but you know you can't move
them in front of the door. My dad hears what's
going on? My mom, here's what's going on. They jump
up and on what's going on? And I'm throwing out
this time. I can't move the stove, so I grab
a kitchen chair and throw it underneath the handle. My
dad has a weapon, which was a twenty two ruger,
and I stopped him and said that ain't gonna do nothing.
And he goes, what did you see? I said, a hyena,
a wolverine, a werewolf. I said it's a werewolf.
Speaker 1: Dad.
Speaker 3: I said, I don't know what I'm looking at and
he goes where wolfs aren't real. I said, well, you
go out there and tell that thing, and so he
dropped it. I dropped it where I was going, I
didn't go. I stayed home that night. Well, then the
next night, my uncle and aunt came over to play
cards with my mom and dad, and so I went
upstairs watch TV in my room and the smell hit me.
The smell came back, and I hear the tree out
in front of my window. This beast is climbing it.
Dogs don't climb trees, but you could hear the clalls
digging into the tree. My dad, I grabbed my shotgun,
grabbed slugs, ran downstairs because I thought my dad and
my uncle's still in the kitchen playing cards. They had
their weapons and they are outside because of what happened
the night before. So as I'm running out the kitchen door,
they're running in and they pushed me back in the house.
They said, you're not going outside, and I said, you've
seen it. You guys seen it. They said yes.
Speaker 2: So my dad made a phone.
Speaker 3: Call the game Morten O Harold Blackwood, and he come
out Sunday morning and he's seen where it climbed the tree.
He's seen where it jumped from the tree about thirty
five forty yards into the cornfield, where it knocked the
stalks down and the prince. The dog prints maybe three
or four feet or three or four inches in the
dirt where it landed, and you can see where it
took to the right and ran down in the cornfield
blackwood covered the tracks, walked back out and told us
we did not see anything drop it, or they will
make our life miserable.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is just so rough. Like I told you
the first time we spoke, no one should have to
deal with anything like that. I'm so glad you're dealing
with it so well, considering the fact that most people
they'd swear off ever heading back into the woods every again.
So of everything that happened, at least we can point
to that and play the glad game. You gave us
some details about how that dog men looked, But is
there anything else you can tell us, such as anything
about its teeth?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yes, that was the only thing. Why And like
he brushed his teeth every day. That was that white.
Speaker 3: It had two canines on the top on the right side.
I didn't get to see the left side, because it
grinned at me on the right. So the two canines
on the top was two three inches, they were long canines,
and the bottom one had two two On the right side,
there was no gap in between the canines and the
rest of the teeth. The rest of the teeth looked
like sharp teeth. They were meant for shredding.
Speaker 1: Did his teeth look too big to fit in his
mouth comfortable or did it look like.
Speaker 2: They were proportional they fit his mouth? I mean he
had a big snout, white snout, the gums were black.
Everything was black on this thing and the only thing
white was his teeth. And he was so black that,
like I said, if the light wasn't known, I would have.
Speaker 3: Walked right into him. And even in the light, he
was still black. And that's what It just messed my
mind up. How something could be that well camouflage at
night and they're that close to it.
Speaker 1: Well, when it's that black at nighttime, he has no wonder.
They're so hard to see. I wish he never would
have seen it. Now. You said its eyes were black,
but did you notice any hint of eyeshine?
Speaker 3: None. The eyes were squinted and they what I did
see was all black. The eyes that I did see
were black. It was in a pounce position.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was getting ready to launch. And like
you said, if it wanted me, it had me, It
had me dead or right, They could alway does reach
out and grab me.
Speaker 1: This could you realize that? And I'm so glad it
didn't have that on its mind. How tall do you
think it would have been if it would have stood
up on its back legs.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm five foot nine and a half and his
body was my size. It was five foot nine in
the size, and then you had the legs and the
arms were longer. The arms were longer than the rear.
So if it would have stood up, it kind of
would look funny, you know. To me, I would have thought,
what the what is this? It would look funny to me.
That probably would have threw me off. It was sort
of stood up, I probably would have been the fastest
guy in the world. But guys, I'm gonna guess ten
or ten to twelve, maybe fourteen feet if it stood up,
it weighed I'm gonna guess four hundred weighed more than
a three hundred pound deer. I thought I was gonna
have to fight that night, and I knew I was losing.
Speaker 1: Oh sure, yeah, there's no way you could even hope
you could win a fight like that. There's no way.
And if it weighed that little, but you think it
might have been around ten to twelve feet tall, maybe
a little over twelve feet tall. If it weighed that little,
was it spinley?
Speaker 3: No, the arms were muscled. The arms were muscle. I'm
just guessing on the weight by what a deer looks like.
This thing was big, but I'm trying to think like
a dog. The biggest dogs like two hundred some pounds,
and I'm gonna give it a couple hundred pounds. The
more than that, maybe a little bit more.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 3: It was a werewolf. It didn't change into human, but
it was a were wolf. And at that time there
wasn't no werewolf movies like this, you know, wherewof some
guy changes in you got a human face, kind with
a little dog's heat. This thing was pure one urb
sent a dog man, and it hated you felt the
hate that it had for you. I wasn't scared until
it's grinned ab me. When it grinned ab me, that
did something to me. It told me, this thing's very intelligent.
It got to kick out of me, I think, being scared.
Speaker 1: Oh, I've got no doubts that it did. Yeah, I
think that's a given. I can only imagine the thoughts
it must have been going through your head when you're
standing there, locked eyes with this thing watching it. You
said its eyes were kind of squinted down in a
way because it was looking at you, especially when it grinned.
But did you get any funny feelings about how it
was looking at you? Is there anything that comes to
mind that you could use to describe a strange quality
that you noticed when it was looking at you. As
far as the way you felt.
Speaker 2: The way I felt it is like I have you.
That's the way I felt.
Speaker 1: I have you.
Speaker 3: It was looking at me like, you know, I can
mess your world up? And I agree it could have.
Speaker 2: The hate I felt off of it is like it
just hates us, demonic. I don't know, but my reaction
was it hates us.
Speaker 1: A lot of eyewitnesses report feeling that, so it's not
just you. Do you know anything about that area as
far as devil worshiping that might have happened, or anything
else that might encourage a demonic being or a demonic
entity to be around.
Speaker 3: Yeah, outside of pitch in there, there's a there used
to be a group of devil worshipers. They had their
own building and they had an upside down crossed in
the woods. We used to drive by there and mess
with them, you know, all the kids did back then.
But even never think about this. I mean I ran
around all the time at nighttime and never never even
thought this was lived. And I still go out today
just because I'm not. I'm not gonna let it win.
You know, I walk out there with bigfoot. They don't
bother me.
Speaker 1: Like I told you before, I'm so glad you do that.
So glad you can do that. Most people couldn't. You
told us about that church where they're doing Satanic rituals.
Back then, how far was that church from your home?
Speaker 2: Maybe five miles?
Speaker 3: Five miles The farmers used to find where they sacrifice
animals in their fields, and they were a problem back then.
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about them now.
Speaker 1: Well, for a person on foot five miles this is
a pretty good hike, but for one of these things
not so much so. So if there is a connection
there between that church and that dogged me in being
a demonic entity that paid you visit. Then, yeah, maybe
it was just dumb luck that you had that encounter.
But all we can do is guess about that worre's
Pitching Ohio relative to the Hawking Hills.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's well, that's probably an our way this pitch
in It would be south of Springfilt, Ohio. Cedar Hill
is not that far from Pitching, Ohio. And my understanding,
the lady over there, she's been on a show, she
ran into one in nineteen seventy something, ten years before mine.
And when I found that out, I was like, thank god,
I'm not the only one seeing this. And then we
also had the London of Ohio. London, Ohio's has helped
my back door really, And you've heard of the London,
Ohio Werewolf. That's a famous case. It's also reported nine
one one.
Speaker 2: Or the cops.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did and eye witness come on one of the
first episodes talking about his encounter with a dog man
in that area, And if that's where Pitching is, If
I remember right, you're pretty close to Germantown as well,
aren't you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, german Town isn't that far really, yeah. After I've
seen all these reports where they're at in Ohio. It's like,
and they're all over. I haven't ran into one out here,
and I don't want to now. I won't go hunting
in the dark anymore.
Speaker 1: Well, I can understand that. Well, that's pretty normal. When
you turned as you were walking and realized it was
right there, right in front of you. Was it standing
still when you laid eyes on it? Or was it
coming to a stop?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: It was. It was already in a pound position. It
was froze. It didn't make a he didn't move.
Speaker 2: He didn't move it ears it didn't do anything time
my feet hit that concrete and then it grinned at me.
Speaker 1: Well, like I told you before, they know how to
push our buttons. They really do. And if you saw
its teeth that, well, you saw the color of its gums.
Did you ever see its tongue?
Speaker 2: No? No, did not see that.
Speaker 3: The teeth was so large you didn't see the tongue,
even the sharp cooking tea.
Speaker 2: I mean, this thing had massive teeth. And like I said,
it is meant to rip you apart.
Speaker 1: I don't know this for sure, but when we spoke
about your encounter, for the first time, it seemed like
it was a toss up. I mean, it's smiling at you,
and when it was crouching, acting like it was getting
ready to pounce on you. I wasn't really sure which
one of those actions shook you up most, But listening
to you tonight, it sounds like the smile shook you
up the most. Is that about right?
Speaker 2: Yes, I did that.
Speaker 3: When it smiled, that put a fear in me. I
never felt I've never felt that way ever.
Speaker 2: Again. That put a fear in me. I never want.
Speaker 3: When I came around that corner and I was standing
right there in its face, I'm guess intend say, I
didn't move. I was frozen, you know. I had to
get my mind back and I was like God, to
let me get out of it. And so I started
backing up. And I forgot to tell you, I was
backing up and I was talking to it at the
same time, and I was und of easy, easy.
Speaker 2: And when my feet hit that concrete, dude, that grin
that just showed me intelligence. I never seen it in
an animal.
Speaker 1: I can't think for these things, no one can. But
I bet you good money it was grinning because it
was loving every minute of that. It could tell it
really shaking you up, and it was just soaking it up.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yes, that's exactly how I felt.
Speaker 1: I'll bet you that's how it was.
Speaker 3: I couldn't tell nobody. I couldn't tell my friends, I
couldn't tell nobody. We were threatened over this. And plus
how you're gonna tell people you've seen a werewolf.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. Yeah, it's really unfortunate. It's bad
enough to have an encounter like that, but when you're
dealing with the government putting the kaioh on you being
able to reach out to people for help, that just
makes it that much more difficult. It really is a shame. Now,
you told it easy, easy, out loud, But when you
ask God for help, did you do that out loud
as well or just in your head?
Speaker 2: No, I said God to get me out of this.
Speaker 3: I said it out loud, and when me talking at first,
it didn't jump. It's like it was just listening to
what I was saying and didn't react until my feet
hit that concrete and then it's like I could had you.
Speaker 1: So, just to get some clarity, when you ask God
to help you get out of there, it didn't respond
to God's name.
Speaker 3: I think it did. That's why grinned. I mean, it's
always stuck with me about that. Did it grin at
me because I mentioned God? Or did it grin at
me because I had you?
Speaker 1: And Al?
Speaker 2: I like messing with you?
Speaker 1: So no signs of discomfort from it when you mentioned
God's name?
Speaker 2: Then no. I just felt that. I felt it hated me,
It hated us humans. That's what I got.
Speaker 1: Well, you might be right to a lot of eyewitnesses
have reported that very thing, so yeah, there just might
be something to that. As you started backing up, trying
to put some distance between you and it, telling it
easy easy, did you hold your hands up or keep
them down at your sides?
Speaker 2: I had them up.
Speaker 3: I was like, you know, waving to him real slow
and just say an easy, big guy. Easy, And I
just kept backing up. I do the same thing with bigfoot.
Speaker 2: Out of you.
Speaker 3: You know, when I get to your clothes, you know,
snap a tree or something, grab me, I'll say, easy,
big guy, And I was back up.
Speaker 2: That's just the way I am.
Speaker 1: That was an awfully difficult situation there, Rodney, But you
sure did handle that as well as it could be handled.
I'm really impressed, I really am.
Speaker 3: When you don't know what you're looking at, you just
don't know how to react to that. I mean, first
time seeing some on my dead I can imagine what
other people went through through their minds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dusk get pretty bad. You told us what it
smelled like. Here's something you might not have considered. How
sure are you considering your face to face with a
thing it's so tall on four legs, it's literally nose
with yet again, even though it's on all fours, How
sure are you that that stinch you smelled wasn't just
its breath, that it wasn't its body odor in other words,
or vice versa.
Speaker 3: And I think it was its body odor. Like I said,
the only time it opened his mouth, it was a grind.
But the smells when I first when I walked outside, like, man,
what's that smell? It didn't smell like a skunk, And
I kept thinking, what is that smell? And I walked
around the shrubs and I found out what the smell
was coming from. The next night when he came back,
we smelled at first, and then I watched it climb
up the tree, and that kind of messed me up too,
because wolves don't climb trees. Dogs don't climb trees. And
it was looking in my window. That thing is smart.
Speaker 1: Just imagine how freaked out you would have been looking
at your window not knowing it was there, and you
see it right there.
Speaker 3: Oh if the windows were closed, Yeah, that would have
that would have messed you up. You see a werewolf
looking in the window and it's too you know, I'm
on the second story. So they climbed up fifteen feet
probably or twenty feet in the tree. It was looking
in my window.
Speaker 1: That would have really messed you up, understandably, so too.
How close was that tree to your window?
Speaker 2: Thirty feet? Thirty feet about thirty feet.
Speaker 1: Thank goodness, it wasn't right on the window where it
could have reached out and tapped on the glass or anything.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it launched itself off that tree. I mean,
just sprung off the tree and landed in a cornfield.
And what got me is at the distance it landed
in the height it didn't even hurt it. It's like
he's done this before.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure they do that all the time. When
the game warden came out and give you that warning,
not to talk about your encounter. Do you think he
might have done that to protect you or are you
pretty sure that he did it for another reason.
Speaker 3: He just said that they will make our life miserable.
Drop it because they will make our life miserable.
Speaker 1: The reason why I asked that is it doesn't sound
like you're everybody buddy with him, but it sounds like
you did know him or the family knew him. And
if the family knew him, then he would be more
inclined to try to protect you, even if it did
include giving a warning like that that sounds so ominous.
Speaker 3: Yes, everybody around here knew him. He's gone now, but
everybody knew him. So I mean, if you're out hunt
and you see the old blackwood somewhere. But yeah, he
knew our family, We knew him. But no, it was
he just kept saying, don't make your life miserable. So yeah,
he was protecting us. I say, it just made me mad.
It's like acknowledge. I acknowledged just things alive.
Speaker 1: I can understand why it would make you mad. That's
totally understandable. You lived in the woods when you had
that encounter. Do you still live in the woods now
or have you sworn off ever doing that again.
Speaker 2: No, I live I live out in the country. I
got woods all around me. They done bigfoot research out here.
I don't want to see a dog man out here,
but there's a They have a spring ponds. I got
a five acre pond in front of me, palm beside me.
In the spring, it runs out back.
Speaker 3: The deer disappeared for two years around the here, and
this year is the first time we've seen deer again.
And they usually run the deer out of here.
Speaker 1: You did tell us, So you have sasquatch around your property.
But you can have sasquatch around without living in the woods.
I mean, if you live out in farmer land, you
can have them around and they just move in from
the forest. So I was just wondering about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I always get whistled at sometimes a lot of times.
Speaker 3: I just don't just ignore them. I sat out here
one night and listened to a young one trying to
do an owl call, and when he finally got it down,
I started laughing, and that's when they realized I was
watching them.
Speaker 2: I snuck out there on them, but it was so
funny trying to see a little one trying to learn
how to do an al cal It was funny, but
he got it right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do funny things like that. And speaking of
the sasquatch to hang around your property, you did something
one night. I thought it was pretty funny myself. You
did something that your wife wasn't too happy about you for.
Can you tell us what you did? In kind of
a PG way?
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I just had new windows installed around my
house and I had a big bay window in the
back but my bedroom. So I go back to go
to bed. It's around eleven thirty at night, and of
course the big fits on is I just tap in
the crap out of my my window, tap tap dap,
and I.
Speaker 3: Finally I looked at my wife said what's this? And
I got up, opened the curtain up, screamed at it.
Speaker 2: What do you want?
Speaker 3: I won't cuss, you know, And I stand in the
curtains back clothes and she's yelling, ABU you crazy? And
I said nah like that, And about ten seconds later
I got and this thing groud, but it was like
a comical ground like got me. I scared him, and
my wife is like, what are you gonna do if
he comes to that window? And said, oh, shoot him.
I said, but I was hoping you don't do that,
And she goes, well, don't they ever do that again,
because the crowd at us, and she's tired of getting
growled at, so they always come up here and grout us.
Speaker 1: Here's something else, right, and you got to give it
to you. I'll love it. Well, we're about out of
time before we get out of here. Do you have
any clothing comments you want to put out there for us.
Speaker 3: Just be careful when you're in the woods, and it
don't have it doesn't matter if you're in the woods,
they're anywhere.
Speaker 1: That's good advice. And like I told you, I'm so
glad you can go back out into the wood still.
As long as you can do that, then you're doing
all right. But having said that, I can't thank you
enough for coming on and sharing the details of that
experience with us. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 2: I thank you, Rick. I'm glad to get this off
my chest.
Speaker 1: I'm glad to give you a platform. Well I haven't
said that. Thanks against so much of your time, and
have a great night.
