1
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,759
Speaker 1: I've been interested in bigfoot for a long time, but

2
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:09,480
it wasn't until the last few years that I had

3
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:11,720
the free time to be able to travel and see

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,559
some good locations myself. I'm from the Midwest. We can't

5
00:00:16,559 --> 00:00:20,440
match Oregon, Washington, or Ohio, but there are a few

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,239
spots that are known to have activity. One such place

7
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:27,039
was in the state Forest, about four hours from me,

8
00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:31,000
and so late in September I decided to spend a

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,679
few days checking it out. On arriving, I set up

10
00:00:34,679 --> 00:00:38,560
in the main campground. This is a relatively isolated area

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,200
and mostly draws trout fishermen to fish the local streams.

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,119
There were a couple of fishermen camping with RVs, but

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,799
otherwise I had the place to myself. At mid afternoon,

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,280
I set out driving some of the forest roads in

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,719
my truck, just getting the feel of the area. When

16
00:00:56,759 --> 00:00:58,840
I came to a parking spot for a couple of

17
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,759
mile long hiking tree trail, I decided to get out

18
00:01:01,799 --> 00:01:04,400
and stretch my legs and check out the walk in

19
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:08,359
campground that was supposed to be back in there. It

20
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:11,400
was cool in the woods and I walked along quietly,

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,159
just watching for animals and enjoying being out, not really

22
00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:19,239
expecting anything. But as I got close to the campground

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,840
off in the woods a few hundred yards to the south,

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,959
that was a loud wood knock. I couldn't believe it.

25
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:29,200
I actually heard a wood knock, and on my first hike,

26
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,840
it was very loud and clear. I would describe it

27
00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:37,280
as ringing almost. It sounded like hard, hard dead wood,

28
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:41,400
no bark, very clear. I stopped dead in my tracks

29
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,959
and listened for a good fifteen minutes, but there was

30
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,599
nothing more. I didn't have my little baseball battle long

31
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:50,280
and I wasn't about to start screaming like I was

32
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:54,120
on TV. So after a while I just continued into

33
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:57,879
the campground and looked around a little. I waited a

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,719
while more. Still there was nothing, and then I got

35
00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:05,120
to thinking again I actually heard a wood knock. It's

36
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:08,360
impossible to describe how exciting it was to actually hear

37
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,439
one for myself. I knew I had to come back.

38
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:16,000
That night. At dusk, I came walking down the trail again.

39
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:19,520
This time I had my little baseball bat and of

40
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,560
course some flashlights. It was a lot spookier this time,

41
00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:26,199
but I got all the way to the campground without

42
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,840
hearing anything, and I sat down on a bench and

43
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:31,879
I listened for a while. It was all very quiet.

44
00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:35,039
Finally I got up off the bench and went to

45
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,159
a nearby tree and gave it a good wat. It

46
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,360
kind of echoed for a second. I dropped the bat

47
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,840
and cut my hands around my ears to listen. After

48
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:48,199
about fifteen to twenty seconds, there was a quiet, single

49
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,879
I'm not sure how to describe it, a soft crunch,

50
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,039
like a single careful footstep on a soft rotten log.

51
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,080
Just that one soft, deliberate sound, like something saying quietly, Hey,

52
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,199
you don't have to shout. I'm right over here. The

53
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,520
hairs on my neck stood up. Wasn't very far away

54
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,520
at all. I waited a few minutes and made another knock,

55
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:17,199
more quietly this time, but there was no response. After

56
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,719
listening a while more, I headed back to my truck.

57
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,360
I'm sure you'll understand that I spent a lot of

58
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,719
time shouting my flashlight around into the woods and back

59
00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:29,159
behind me on the way out. This was all that

60
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,840
happened on that first visit, but it was enough to

61
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:34,520
get me fired up to come back again the next spring.

62
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,000
It was just amazing to go to a place reputed

63
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,439
to have activity and then actually experience it myself. I

64
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:45,120
have no proof of what might have made the wood knock,

65
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:47,360
but I will say I did not see any other

66
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:50,639
people in this back area for the entire three days

67
00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:53,479
that I was there, and my thinking was, when did

68
00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:58,199
a human ever make just one single knock? So the

69
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,080
next June I was raring to goeh. I packed up

70
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,560
my camping gear and headed back, hoping that I would

71
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:06,759
have some more excitement. But little did I know what

72
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,159
was coming this time. I drove right to the trail

73
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,400
parking lot. It was only late morning, and I figured

74
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,319
i'd go set up camp after walking the trail once first.

75
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,439
I tried to drive quietly the last half a mile

76
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,040
and made as little noise as I could, shutting the

77
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,680
door when I got out. Hopefully I could surprise something

78
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,120
and maybe hear another would not. I sat out, and

79
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,680
before I was even one hundred yards down the trail,

80
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:36,879
there was a huge loud crack. It was a sound

81
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,839
to my left up on the ridge. I almost jumped

82
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,399
out of my skin. It was so loud. It sounded

83
00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:47,360
like a whole tree being snapped like a pencil. My

84
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:50,959
hair stood up and my stomach jumped up into my throat.

85
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,160
I felt like I needed to be running, like right now.

86
00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:57,360
And there up on the ridge, I caught just a

87
00:04:57,439 --> 00:05:01,800
glimpse of something, something behind me the bushes. I could

88
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,000
see the sun glinting off the shiny black fur through

89
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,079
the holes between the leaves, and it was moving off

90
00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:11,399
into heavier cover. I only saw it for a second,

91
00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:16,399
no identifiable shape, but roughly three to four feet high

92
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,560
and a little less in width. It took me a

93
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,240
couple of minutes to calm down, But wow, did I

94
00:05:23,439 --> 00:05:27,240
just get bluff charged. I heard nothing before or after

95
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:30,519
the tree crack. There were no sticks falling, no thuds

96
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,839
or other noises. But what had I seen? I was

97
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,319
absolutely elated. Whatever that was, it wasn't a human, and

98
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,399
it wasn't a deer, and that is the only bigger

99
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:48,199
animal that should be around the DNR. Information online was

100
00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:51,399
clear there were no bears in this whole corner of

101
00:05:51,439 --> 00:05:55,399
the state. And if it wasn't a bear, black shiny fur,

102
00:05:56,319 --> 00:05:58,319
you know, if I had to say from my gut

103
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,920
what I saw any animal in the world, I would

104
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,519
say from its color, size and the way it moved

105
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:07,199
that it was something like a big chimpanzee and talk

106
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,639
about classic bigfoot behavior breaking a tree and warning me

107
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:16,720
and slinking off into the heavy brush. After I recovered,

108
00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:19,879
I continued down the trail. When I got to the campground,

109
00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:22,360
I was surprised to see a man and his young

110
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,240
son setting up camp. I walked over to talk, and

111
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,279
I found out they had parked at the other end

112
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:31,079
of the trail and walked in, and they arrived about

113
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,720
a half an hour before me. They hadn't seen anything

114
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,920
strange on their way here. Let me give you the

115
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,000
lay of the land here, because it's relevant. There's this

116
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,639
long trail with parking at both ends and a campground

117
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:48,319
in the middle. To the south, where last year's would

118
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:52,560
not came from, is nothing, no trails know anything. And

119
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,439
to the north from the campground there's a draw or

120
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,399
a ravine that runs up the ridge and twists to

121
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,680
the west. So the head of that ravine is up

122
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:04,680
in the woods there behind the ridgetop on the west

123
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,959
and the end I came in from. I'm thinking, what

124
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,439
if the man and his son came walking down the

125
00:07:11,519 --> 00:07:14,639
trail and there's a young bigfoot near the campground who

126
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,639
sees them coming, so not to be seen himself. He

127
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,519
has to run into the woods to the north, even

128
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,040
though where he really wants to go is to the south,

129
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,680
where there are thick woods and where my wood knock

130
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,920
came from. So he works his way up the draw

131
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,800
to get away from the campground and then turns south,

132
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,560
intending to cross over the top of the ridge and

133
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,600
come down the hill across the trail and then make

134
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,800
his way into the woods to the south. Only when

135
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,639
he is coming down from the ridge top, dang, there's

136
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,439
another human in the way. So he's ticked off and

137
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,199
instinctively cracks the tree at me and SLINKs back into cover.

138
00:07:52,399 --> 00:07:54,839
It made a lot of sense, I thought, And that's

139
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:57,319
all that happened on that trip. But let me tell

140
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,240
you that was enough. I have never been I'm so

141
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,560
startled or scared as I was when that loud noise

142
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,079
made me think I was about to be attacked or

143
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,279
squashed by something. My next visit was great too. I

144
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,000
tried some gifting and had interesting results, but it's not

145
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,160
directly relevant to the story, so I'll pass over that.

146
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:23,759
One last spring, I again returned ready to try a

147
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,759
few new things. But I did have a new piece

148
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,720
of information I had found online. The DNR now said

149
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:34,759
a few isolated black bears had been seen in this

150
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:39,320
quarter of the state, presumably just passing through. I went

151
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,080
to have a talk with the local ranger. After telling

152
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,200
my story, we narrowed down the exact time I had

153
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,480
been there, and he said that that month, the month

154
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:52,879
when I experienced the tree cracking incident, a couple other

155
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,600
hiking parties had reported seeing a black bear right along

156
00:08:56,639 --> 00:09:00,960
that specific trail. Furthermore, the very next month, mister bear

157
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,039
wandered out into the highway and got himself killed by

158
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,480
a car. He had then been stuffed and was on

159
00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:11,919
display at the county museum. I could even go see him.

160
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,600
A little more. Research taught me that bears do occasionally

161
00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:19,639
crack trees while engaging in scent related behavior, although my

162
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,440
experience was not typical at all, and when I visited

163
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,759
mister bear he proved to be a little on the

164
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,080
small side, which would be about right, But he was

165
00:09:29,159 --> 00:09:32,200
more of a cinnamon brown, not really a shiny black

166
00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:35,559
unless they both looked the same glinting in the bright sun.

167
00:09:36,879 --> 00:09:40,639
Apparently my bigfoot was the bigfoot that wasn't, Although to

168
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,759
be fair, yes, what I saw was probably a bear,

169
00:09:44,039 --> 00:09:47,360
but where no bears were supposed to be doing something

170
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,600
bears don't really do in exactly that way, and possibly

171
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,399
changing color a bit in the process. There starting to

172
00:09:54,440 --> 00:10:01,279
be an awful lot of coincidences there. I want to

173
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,480
share with you my brother's encounter with a sasquatch that

174
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,879
happened around nineteen ninety near a town called Gary's Creek,

175
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:14,200
which is near Fayetteville, North Carolina. I've always been fascinated

176
00:10:14,279 --> 00:10:16,919
with Bigfoot ever since I was a kid of seven

177
00:10:17,039 --> 00:10:19,840
or eight. I even went with my friend one night

178
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:23,879
to see Sasquatch The Legend of Bigfoot at a local theater,

179
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,000
and that movie scared the heck out of both of us.

180
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,159
I recently rewatched the movie and I had to laugh

181
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,759
because I could hardly believe I was ever scared of

182
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:38,960
this chunk of geese. Oh what a way to describe

183
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:43,600
a movie, a chunk of cheese. My family also knew

184
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,840
of my fascination. I believe my dad was interested too,

185
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,519
because every time there was a Bigfoot documentary on TV,

186
00:10:52,039 --> 00:10:54,559
he was right there watching it with my brother and I.

187
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,279
My parents even gave me a copy of Peter Burns's

188
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,759
Bigfoot Book for my day one year, and I must

189
00:11:01,759 --> 00:11:06,320
have read it a hundred times. The following incident happened

190
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,720
around the year nineteen ninety. I was chatting with my

191
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:13,519
mother on the phone, and she asked how I enjoyed

192
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:16,759
a recent camping trip that I had taken with some friends.

193
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,159
I made a joke about how we didn't see bigfoot,

194
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,159
but we did have a great time regardless, to which

195
00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:26,600
she replied, well, your brother would be happy to learn that.

196
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,759
When I asked her what she meant, she seemed surprised

197
00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:34,120
that he'd never told me. When I pressed her, she

198
00:11:34,279 --> 00:11:38,919
informed me that Larry, my brother, had an extraordinary bigfoot

199
00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:42,960
encounter a few years back. I was rather pod that

200
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,240
Larry hadn't told me about this. He knew of my

201
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:50,240
lifelong interest in this subject. I hung up with my

202
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,080
mother and immediately called Larry, what's the big idea of

203
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,759
being Harry hold out with the news of an encounter

204
00:11:56,879 --> 00:12:00,519
that you never told me about. He guessed correct that

205
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,039
Mom had told me. He said he would go ahead

206
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,360
and tell me, but to not ask any questions. Well,

207
00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:09,879
I thought that was strange, but I went along out

208
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,279
of love and respect for my brother. And then he

209
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:17,840
told me this story Larry was working as a delivery

210
00:12:17,879 --> 00:12:21,440
man for a local branch of a nationwide pizza chain.

211
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,159
He was tasked to deliver some pizzas to a college

212
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,039
fraternity house. Larry's car was in the shop at the time,

213
00:12:29,159 --> 00:12:32,960
so he was driving his boss's pickup truck. He delivered

214
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,960
the pizzas and was driving back through Gray's Creek, North Carolina,

215
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,879
on a road with overhanging oak trees. Bocephus was playing

216
00:12:41,919 --> 00:12:44,399
on the radio, he said, and the windows were down

217
00:12:44,799 --> 00:12:48,440
and he was enjoying the cool evening air. He heard

218
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,200
a loud bang in the bed of the truck. He

219
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,759
slammed on the brakes while looking in the rear view

220
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,519
mirror and could see something black up against the rear window.

221
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,919
When he got to a full stop, he saw something

222
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,000
flailing around and it managed to work its way to

223
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,039
the open tailgate and roll out of the truck bed.

224
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,679
Larry sat there, stunned, looking in the rear view mirror,

225
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,240
trying to figure out what this thing was. He stood

226
00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:18,960
up on two feet and it grew to seven feet tall.

227
00:13:19,879 --> 00:13:23,600
He tilted the mirror to see its face. Larry focused

228
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,200
on the thing's face to see it looking right back

229
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,919
at him. The face was human like and had a murderous,

230
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:35,720
hate filled expression, and then it roared. Larry ain't no dummy.

231
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,519
He turned and stomped on the gas because he knew

232
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,799
that if this thing got its hands on him, it

233
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,480
would absolutely tear him apart. Larry says he has no

234
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,159
recollection of driving back to the pizza joint, just that

235
00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:51,559
the next thing he knew that he was getting out

236
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,360
of the truck and his knees buckled and he would

237
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:57,480
have fallen flat had he not managed to catch himself

238
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,519
on the door's arm rest. He said he stayed squatted

239
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,080
and gulping for air for several minutes, and then he

240
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,039
went in trying to look like he was okay. Larry's

241
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,759
boss looked at him and he knew something was wrong.

242
00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:14,240
He was pale and his eyes were big and wide open.

243
00:14:14,799 --> 00:14:17,960
Apparently Larry looked so bad that his boss drove him

244
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,759
home that minute. He has no memory of the ride

245
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,480
home or talking with his boss on the ride. My

246
00:14:25,559 --> 00:14:27,840
mother walked to Larry back to his room so he

247
00:14:27,879 --> 00:14:30,840
could lay down while my dad and Larry's boss looked

248
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:34,000
at the truck. The part of the bed sides near

249
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:37,120
the rear window were crumpled downwards, and there was blood

250
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,759
in the bed, as well as some tufts of hair.

251
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,440
They both picked up on the bad odor as well.

252
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,039
Our father said it was a horrible smell. Mom and

253
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,240
Dad sat up with Larry all night. He was obviously

254
00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:54,120
in a state of shock. They wanted to take him

255
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:57,240
to the hospital, but Larry insisted that he was okay.

256
00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:00,759
He related his story to both my and dad a

257
00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:04,480
little while after, and they both believed him. My parents

258
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,759
are not gullible people. They're well grounded and not prone

259
00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:11,759
to believe everything they hear. Trust me on that one.

260
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,519
A year later, Mom and Dad, my wife and I

261
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,159
and Larry and his family were vacationing together and I

262
00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:20,639
was excited that I get to ask him about his

263
00:15:20,759 --> 00:15:24,799
experience face to face. I sat down with a notepad

264
00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:27,840
and a pen. I was even planning to record the

265
00:15:27,919 --> 00:15:32,279
conversation with a new app on my phone. He looked

266
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,720
at both and said, no way, I don't want you

267
00:15:34,759 --> 00:15:38,840
submitting this to any bigfoot organization, and furthermore, this is

268
00:15:38,879 --> 00:15:41,240
going to be the last time we talk about this.

269
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,759
You got it. I agreed and asked some questions that

270
00:15:44,919 --> 00:15:47,919
help fill in the blanks in the account. I have

271
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,840
a bit more to tell you about my brother. When

272
00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:53,879
he was relating what happened to me during our vacation,

273
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,120
I saw both fear in his eyes and goosebumps rose

274
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,679
on his arms more than once, and you can't fake that.

275
00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:05,279
What really hammered things home for me is the fact

276
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,519
that my brother is a formal Special Forces operator and

277
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,360
he served a tour over in the Sandbox. He just

278
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:18,039
does not get rattled. To speak for myself, I never

279
00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:21,519
heard of a sasquatch dropping from a tree into a

280
00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:26,279
truck before. From Larry's report, he had a hunch it

281
00:16:26,559 --> 00:16:30,080
just lost its grip and somehow fell into the bed

282
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,679
of the truck. I'd be willing to bet the sasquatch

283
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:38,200
trackways people find that abruptly end is because these things

284
00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:39,399
take to the trees
