Speaker 1: Okay, here's what I think is a Bigfoot story. The
writer's name is Bibo b Ee b O b Bow.
I've been running around the woods all my life, from
creek beds to swamps to dirt roads and fields, and
all that time I never experienced anything strange. That is
until recently. Two weeks before hunting season ended this year,
my son in law and I wanted to shoot some hogs.
That morning, I put out some corn for the afternoon hunt.
A little before dark thirty, we headed to the box
stand and we jumped five deer eating out of the
corn pile. When they scattered off, we got settled in
and man, were those woods alive. Everything was talking, from
crickets to frogs and raccoons and owls. We could hear
the hogs coming from the left side of the swamp,
walking through the water and mud. My son in law
picked up his ar, looked through his thermal scope and
said there were five pigs at the pile. I told
him to hold on, let's wait for the big ones
to come out. There was a loud yell coming from
fifty yards down the swamp from us. It happened just instantly.
Everything that was making noise in the woods went silent.
It all just suddenly died out, like a light switch
had been flicked off. What the hell is that, my
son in law asked, looking like he was ready to
get the hell out of there. Well, I don't know,
I said, I never heard anything like that before. When
we heard the coyotes start back up, we decided to
wait it out for a little longer, and a few
minutes later, all the other animals and insects in the
woods came back to life, filling the air was sound again.
It was the strangest sensation hearing all the noise sucked
out of the forest like that, only to hear it
return a little while later. It was like someone had
their hands on the volume knob and turned it down
and then turned it back up again. Two weeks later,
I put a pig brig trap down below where we
had been sitting that night, and I caught sixteen little
pigs out of it, and then rebaited it and set
it again. The next morning, I found two hundred and
fifty pounders. It was cold and raining that day, and
I didn't want to deal with them then, knowing it
was going to be a sunny day, the next day,
so I went on about my day and the next
morning set out to get the hogs. But when I
got there, the hogs were gone. I got out of
my truck and walked closer, and I saw that on
the back side of the trap two of the tea
posts had been pushed almost all the way into the ground,
without the smallest sign of blood. I looked around for
signs of tracks, but I didn't find anything but pine straw.
I refixed the trap and went on about my day,
and the next morning, on the walk to my truck,
I found five dead birds lying in a row on
the ground. Even the cats wouldn't go near them, so
I asked my son and daughter if they had seen them,
but they said they hadn't, and I left them there
and didn't go back down to that part of the
woods for a month, except to occasionally check on the
hog trap. A week ago, when it was hot down
there in my neck of the woods, my daughter and
I got on a dirt bike to look for hog signs.
There was nothing around the farm, so we headed down
to the swamp. The heat was getting to us, so
we got off the bike and took a walk down
to the creek and cooled off. We didn't see much
other than deer and coon tracks along the way and
in the cold water of the creek, we didn't see
anything out of place. An alligator came back to check
us out, and we saw two watermocks and sunning on
an old log, but otherwise it was uneventful. Then we
heard a wood knock. It was loud and distinct, and
my daughter and I looked at each other. There was
a lot of natural noises that you expect to hear
in our neck of the woods, but that wasn't one
of them. We got out of there and headed back home.
A little rattle by the noise, but not enough to
make me lose sleep. The missing pigs and that would
not don't keep me from enjoying my land. But for
a man who spent his entire life outdoors, it is
unsettling to think of what could be out there that
I never knew about. And then he signs offices. Keep
up the good work. You're doing a good job. I'm
a believer. I appreciate that that was a good story.
It's a lot of anecdotal evidence, but it's good evidence,
and it makes a dang good story. Awesome. Thanks for
sending it. In September of two thousand and six, I
was living in the small town of Gardnerville in western Nevada.
One night, as I was driving to visit a friend
in Reno, I kept seeing white streaks in the dark sky.
I thought it must have been my imagination. After visiting
with my friend for a few hours, I drove home
and I had forgotten about it. When I was almost
at my house, I saw the little white streaks again,
and I became dizzy and disoriented. The feeling was so
intense that I couldn't see, so I pulled over until
the feeling subsided, and when I could see again clearly,
I drove to my friend John's house, who lived nearby.
He told me that earlier in the evening he had
seen the white streaks in the sky, and when I
told him I had seen them too, he grabbed our
drinks and headed outside to see if they were still there.
The sky was empty, but we heard something strange throughout
the surrounding neighborhoods. Dogs were barking in a way I
have never heard before. It wasn't overly loud or obnoxious.
It was like they were talking to each other. One
would bark a bit, and then the other dog from
a couple of streets over would respond, and then another,
as if they were having a conversation or they were
exchangeing information. That's when I felt the air change around us.
It became so still and quiet that even the dogs
stopped talking to each other. I was a little freaked out,
and I decided that it was a good time to go.
And then a minute later I was back home and
talking to my friend who was staying with me. I
went over the weird events of the night, and we
ended up outside again. And when I looked up at
the sky, there they were. Sarah, there are the white streaks,
I said. Just as the words came out of my mouth,
a huge white bird flew over a light pole in
the parking lot across the street, and it hovered for
a moment above it. It turned its head and looked
in our direction, and then it flew right at us.
In a panic, we ran too the safety of the house,
but just before we got inside, I turned to look
at the bird again and saw the massive muscles on
its wings as they moved up and down. It veered
over to my neighbor's house and landed on his roof,
and the tips of the massive wings stretched out by
two or three feet over both sides. After a few
seconds of silence, the bird seemed to notice us again,
and it jumped off the roof and swooped low over
the street toward us. But we were completely frozen in
all and we couldn't run. When it was just a
few feet from us, it cut quickly upward into the
air to avoid running into a fence and some telephone cables.
Its body swept right over us, just three feet over
my head, and it landed on my neighbor's rooftop behind me.
Its torso was at least ten feet long, and its
breadth was two or three feet across. After it landed
on the neighbor's rooftop, I got creeped out and ran
into the house. As majestic as this thing was, the
part of me was afraid of it and that it
might try to pick me up in its mass of claws.
The next morning, as soon as it was daylight, I
ran over to my neighbor's house with a measuring tape.
That bird's wingspan was twenty five feet wide, and I
was grateful that my friend saw it too, Otherwise there
was no way anyone would believe me. And then, to
add to the strangeness, I learned that our neighbor whose
house the bird landed on, died the night before. Some
time later, I was watching the History Channel when one
of the guests mentioned something about thunderbirds. I got on
the Internet as fast as I could, and after looking
at numerous images of the legendary creature, I'm certain that
is what I saw that night. And I'm certain those
were the white streaks my friend and I had seen
moving through the sky. Maybe they were the cause of
my disorientation that night and the feeling of strange in
the air and the unusual way the dogs were acting.
Despite my neighbor's tragic death, and knowing that that thunderbird
could have easily flown off with me and its claws,
I have always felt blessed to have witnessed one with
my own eyes. Oh man, that was great. We don't
get too many thunderbird stories I've been I've done a
half a dozen through the years, but they're always really cool.
I really appreciate this email. Thank you to the writer.
I was looking back to see it's a woman She
didn't say to use her name, so I won't, but
if she hears it, she'll know that she sent the
stories really good. It's really good story. Thank you. My
name is Angie. My husband Keith, is from South Dakota,
but we met and lived in my home state of Wisconsin.
We're pretty basic normies as far as people go, and
we don't lead exciting and adventurous lives, but we're both
content and pleased with the life that we share together.
One thing that we always wanted to try was stealth camping.
As it implies, it's a type of sneaky camping where
you'd try to be near or amongst people without them
being aware that you're there. We decided to have our
inaugural stealth camping adventure in Rapid City, near Keith's mother
and stepdad, who we would be visiting. We planned out
all the pertinent details, and after a nice time with
Keith's family, we set off to start our camping trip.
The place we chose to camp was on public property,
close to a street with houses in the Theodore Roosevelt Expressway.
When it was still daylight, we parked our car in
a nearby lot and we donned a blade's orange vests
that said tree Services across the back. We put on
matching white hard hats and walked around the area, surveying
where we thought would be a good spot where we
could blend in and not be seen, yet also not
be too deep in the wooded area. I noticed people
milling around in the distance, but no one seemed to
be paying any attention to us, which was perfect as
far as we were concerned. With the daylight finally fading,
we returned to our car and retrieved our camping supplies
from the trunk and went to the spot we'd picked out.
We didn't think we did much for a short night
in the woods, so it was just the basics. Keith
tied off a small olive green tart between two trees
so we would not be spotted from the nearby houses.
It wasn't necessary to have any such visual protection from
the expressway, since we thought we were deep enough in
the woods not to be seen by passing vehicles. Behind
the tarp, we laid out our bedroll on the ground
and our wool blanket on top of that. We didn't
bring any food, but we did have a large jug
of water and a couple of led flashlights. When it
got dark, we laid on top of the bedroll and
unfolded the blanket and got under it. It felt to
me like one of our date nights, the two of
us together, just talking and holding each other tight, breathing
in the cool night air, with nature all around us.
I remember being very relaxed and comfortable with my husband
at my side, and I eventually fell asleep. I woke
to Keith firmly shaking me awake. When I asked him
what was going on, he said something had thrown a
handful of loose dirt at us. I felt the top
of the blanket and sure enough it was covered with dirt,
and I put my fingers in my hair and felt
it there too. We turned on our flashlights and looked
at the blanket, and we saw the dirt covering us,
And just as we were trying to figure out what
the hell was happening, another shower of dirt was halted
us from out of the darkness. We were pelted once again,
with it sprang our faces, the blanket and the tart
behind us. We pointed our flashlights in the area of
the dirt came from, and then we saw something that
changed both of our lives and got us on the
cryptid subject. It was a brown fur covered female sasquatch
trying to hide behind a tree that was much too
small to hide her body. Keith and I were at
a complete loss for words and just sat there, gobsmacked.
And when the flashlight beams were on her, she led
out a low woofing noise and began to sway a
little from one side to the other as she showed
us her teeth, And she screamed at us and turned
around and ran faster than any human I've ever seen,
deeper into the woods, and she disappeared from sight. Her
face was flat and white, like a mix between a
human and a gorilla, but without any fur on her cheeks.
She had a prominent brow ridge similar to that of
the Neanderthal, and her teeth weren't as dirty as you
would expect. She had large breasts, and her arms and
hands went down below her knees. She was muscular. Keith
said she was six and a half feet tall, and
there wasn't a man alive in the NFL capable of
tackling this person. After she left, it wasn't too awful
long until sunrise, and we packed up what few items
we had and we got in the car and we
drove home. We were not frightened by what we saw
because we fully realized that we humans share this world
with things both explained and unexplained. Since that experience, Keith
and I have stealth camped three more times and we
continued to do so. Thanks a bunch, Angie and Keith.
Oh what a cool story. Just a total full sighting,
no violence, no anything changed their lives and they still
stealth camp. They're brave. They're brave, braver than I would be.
What an awesome story. Thanks for sending this, Angie, is
a great story. Thank you for listening all the way
to the end of this podcast. I really appreciate that.
