Joining me once again is Jerry, 19 00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:24.400 or as he's known on TikTok Kaser Rebel, a voice 20 00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:28.439 many of you already recognize. Jerry's been on the show before, 21 00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.680 sharing his own powerful encounters, but his journey didn't stop there. 22 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.680 Since then, Jerry's continued gathering incredible first hand encounter stories 23 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:41.159 from people throughout the South Mountains, stories that are raw, 24 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:45.640 personal and impossible to ignore. He's become a trusted listener 25 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.120 and storyteller for folks who've experienced something they can't quite explain, 26 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:51.959 and many of these encounters are now being shared on 27 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.560 his TikTok channel j R. Millwood, which I've linked for 28 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.920 you in the show notes. Be sure to head over 29 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.000 there and give him a followup. But for now, sit back, relax, 30 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:06.079 and enjoy these chilling, fascinating encounter stories from the South 31 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:07.519 Mountains of North Carolina. 32 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.639 Hey, guys, Casa Rebel here, Welcome to a special series 33 00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.599 of episodes from my series The Strange and Unexplained Phenomena 34 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.319 of the South Mountains, North Carolina. You're going to want 35 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:21.599 to watch this to the very end, especially those of 36 00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:23.439 you who was with me on the live last night. 37 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:26.319 We talked about a lot of this last night, But 38 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.400 the end of this episode tonight, I'm gonna come through 39 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.439 and deliver what I promised you I would deliver it 40 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.879 with something we didn't talk about last night. 41 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.800 So hang in there with me, only my cup of tea. 42 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.319 Is I simply interview witnesses, I collect their stories, and 43 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.120 then I share those with you. For what I'm doing 44 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.120 tonight and for the next couple of episodes is I 45 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.639 have done research mainly Internet, but also have researched some books, 46 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.120 especially the BFRO website. You can go on there and 47 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.400 use BFRO website. That's big Foot Field of Researchers organization. 48 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.360 You can pick a state and each state is broken 49 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.960 down by counties and you can go county by county 50 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:08.120 and read reports to your heart is fulfilled. Also, as usual, 51 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.400 I used the bigfootcase Book, updated edition. You can get 52 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.439 that off the internet a number of places, to include Amazon. 53 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.319 So these are all reports that I had nothing whatsoever 54 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.680 to do with. These were people I didn't know that 55 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.639 made reports to sources that I have no connection with. 56 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:32.639 And I'm dedicating tonight's episode with all the possible sarcasm 57 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:37.039 I can muster to a certain smartmouth who said that 58 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:42.199 this phenomenon did not exist until I came into the area. So, 59 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.840 without further ado, let's go back to nineteen seventy two, 60 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.000 nineteen seventy three. In that time free so BFRO report 61 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.520 and it's near place here in the South Mountains of 62 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.719 Cleeveland County called Butler None, a man who was a 63 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.280 lifelottle hunter and outdoorsman was hunting a ridge in the 64 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.879 Butler Nabb area area, and he happened to look up 65 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.439 and on the ridge across from him, he saw at 66 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.319 about a distance of four hundred yards something that at 67 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.439 first he thought was a bear. But it became very 68 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:14.840 obvious to him that it was no bear because the 69 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:19.079 creature he was observing had been walking a great long 70 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:21.360 distance on two legs. 71 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:23.600 Now, if you know anything. 72 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:27.319 About bears, they will get up very briefly and walk 73 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.560 on their hall legs, but it's not comfortable to the bear, 74 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.639 and they are not very efficient moving in that manner. 75 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:35.959 They're going to drop down and walk on all fours 76 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.360 ninety nine point nine percent of the time. This creature 77 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.800 this man was watching, he described it at being over 78 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.360 seven feet tall in darkened color. Now, he said that 79 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.519 as he watched the creature, it stopped and it started 80 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.439 doing something very mysterious. He said, it started messing with 81 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.639 the tree bredge. He couldn't tell what it was doing, 82 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.879 And I suppose that's going to remain a mystery forever. 83 00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.759 Of knowing what that was doing with that trelium. But 84 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.279 then the creature just turned and walked over the ridge 85 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.680 and disappeared over on the other side. So some people 86 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.680 that might sound like a simple encounter was out a 87 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.600 lot of frills, But I assure you that every encounter 88 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.759 like that deeply impacts the witness And in this case, 89 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.519 this lifelong entripid outdoorsman, for the rest of his life 90 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.639 swore off ever going to that area again to heart. 91 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:27.879 And that's a. 92 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.279 Common thing that I have found with witnesses that I've interviewed, 93 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.439 and witnesses that I have seen interviewed on documentaries and 94 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:40.360 in books. However brief their encounter was, it caused them 95 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.519 to stop going to a certain area. Normally, you're outdoors people, 96 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.160 your hunters are very intrepid, not a lot scarce. But 97 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.879 when they swear all going and hunting a perfectly good, 98 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:53.720 good area. 99 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.160 That tells me a lot. 100 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.000 Now, I will to say that in the winter of 101 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.199 nineteen seventy eight, in the nineteen si which is a 102 00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:05.959 special time in the history of this phenomena, here in 103 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.720 the South Mountains area, there was an entire cluster many 104 00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:13.800 encounters that was recorded and I'm not going to just 105 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.000 spend a minute and a half or two minutes talking 106 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.519 about that. There was too many things happened. It was 107 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:22.240 very complicated. There was some skulduggery involved. So we're going 108 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:26.199 to give that whole thing. It's on episode and we're 109 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.120 going to skip over that for now. But it was 110 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:34.040 during that time period that our creatures here gained the 111 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:35.120 nickname nobbies. 112 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.120 Now, as Jerry just mentioned, the big foot in and 113 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.160 around the South Mountains is called Knobby. So I thought 114 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:43.120 I would break in here real quick and give you 115 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.600 some context before we go any further. If you've ever 116 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.079 wondered where that name actually comes from, here's the story. 117 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.160 Back in the nineteen seventies, sightings of a large ape 118 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.240 like creature started popping up in a very specific part 119 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:01.519 of Cleveland County, North Carolina. These encounters weren't scattered all 120 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:05.639 over the place. They were concentrated around a geographical feature 121 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.319 called Carpenter's Knob, which sits north of King's Mountain in 122 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.920 the South Mountains region. Now, if you're not familiar with 123 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.720 the area, the terrain there is known for its rolling 124 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:20.560 hills and distinctive elevated formations that locals refer to as knobs. 125 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:24.199 So when folks started seeing this big, hairy creature wandering 126 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.879 around near Carpenter's Knob, well, it didn't take long for 127 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:32.160 a nickname to stick. They started calling him Noobby. The 128 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.680 creature in the landscape became linked in the minds of 129 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:38.000 the people who lived there, and unlike the generic term 130 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:43.000 bigfoot that gets thrown around everywhere, Nobby became something uniquely theirs, 131 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.439 a local legend with a local name tied directly to 132 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.279 the land where those first encounters took place. To this day, 133 00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:53.800 the residents of Cleveland County still share stories about Nobby, 134 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.040 and they take a certain pride in their home grown cryptid. 135 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:03.120 It's not just bigfoot to them. It's their bigfoot, all right. Now, 136 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.680 let's get back to Jerry and more encounter stories from 137 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:07.000 the South Mountains. 138 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.720 Well, let's jump ahead to March of nineteen ninety one, 139 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.240 Rutherford County, North Carolina, near a place called bat Cave, 140 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.920 just twenty five minutes up the road, thirty minutes from 141 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.879 me or so, but certainly within the range of the 142 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:22.959 South Mountains. There was two fishermen, and this comes from 143 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:27.399 Bfr there was two fishermen fishing the broad river in 144 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:31.519 a sparsely populated area. Fisherman number one saw a creature, 145 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:36.000 suddenly looked up, saw a creature washing him from the 146 00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:39.200 other side of the river. And he said that this 147 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:42.279 went on for five or ten seconds, which in that 148 00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:46.159 particular circumstance can seem like it in the moment, it 149 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.480 seem like it lasts for outsh Imagine locking eyes with 150 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.679 some creature who you just looked up and suddenly there 151 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:54.440 was this thing looking at you. 152 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:55.360 He said. 153 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:59.799 It then just simply walked behind a laurel thicket and disappeared. 154 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.120 But he could hear it walking in the thicket, which 155 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.480 tells me it was a large general. He described it 156 00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:06.360 as six to eight feet tall. And here was an 157 00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:11.159 interesting thing, lean and not bulky. Now that goes contrary 158 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.360 to almost every description that the eyewitness has ever given. 159 00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:18.759 Normally the very big specimen's robust physical shape. 160 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.879 But this one was lean and not bulky, and that 161 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:21.639 caught my attention. 162 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:25.679 And then I saw his description of its coloration, that 163 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:28.879 it was dark brown but had gray hair, also, which 164 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.840 tells me it was an aging creature. Perhaps it had 165 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.519 disease or was nearing the end of its life. But 166 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:37.320 fisherman number two, who was about fifty feet away, had 167 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.240 a different vantage point, and he said that he watched 168 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:46.399 the creature sick or not, effortlessly walk up the side 169 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.720 of the mountain on the opposite side of Gray Rick, 170 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.639 hidden one of the thickets. And I would certainly like 171 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:54.120 to talk to these two witnesses. That would be great. 172 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:57.480 I believe every word of it, but I would certainly 173 00:09:57.559 --> 00:09:59.759 enjoy a conversation with him. So if either one of 174 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:03.159 your we're watching this episode, reach out to me. Now, 175 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.080 to those of you who watched a live last night, 176 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:08.519 in tonight's episode, was something we didn't talk about last night. 177 00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.159 This comes all the way up to October of twenty 178 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.159 twenty one. We're skipping in time. We're skipping ahead, but 179 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:19.919 we'll go back and we'll finish our chronological discussion of sightings. 180 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:21.600 October twenty twenty one. 181 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.919 Two hunters riding four wheelers in this area along part 182 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.559 of the Broad River. The man on the lead four 183 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.279 wheeler could hear something over the sound of his engine, 184 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.840 and it compelled him to stop and shut his engine 185 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.840 off into listen, and then he was able to very 186 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:40.600 clearly hear this noise and understand what it was. No 187 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.799 longer impeded by the sound of the engine of that vehicle. 188 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.159 He said, it was this long, howling noise that started 189 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:51.559 out deep frequencied below, and then it rose in pitch 190 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:55.879 and also rose in volume, and it cycled through that twice, 191 00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:59.480 and he said it shook him up just terribly. And 192 00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.600 he heard his him coming up behind him on the 193 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:03.720 other four wheeler, catching up with him, and he turned 194 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.679 around and was frantically waving his hands like that, and 195 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.960 then he put his hands out telling his friend to stop. 196 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:14.320 He wanted his friend to stop immediately, and his friend 197 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:16.960 slowed down and was coming closer and closer to him, 198 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:21.039 and suddenly his friend got this shocked, surprised look on 199 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:25.480 his face, his eyes again big. He immediately started pointing behind. 200 00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:27.399 So we're trying to get his friend to turn around 201 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:31.039 and look behind him, and there behind him stood this 202 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.159 seven to eight foot creature they estimated to be over 203 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.600 four five hundred pounds, and then it was just looking 204 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:43.279 at him, and then suddenly turned walked through the river 205 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:47.240 without his head ever going completely underneath, and then disappeared 206 00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:50.360 in the woods on the other side. Let's talk about 207 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:55.120 some more creepy North Carolina apple Achian Foothills big Foot sighting. 208 00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.279 So let me take you back to October of two 209 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:00.519 thousand and one Burke County, North Caroline A near the 210 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:04.519 town of Mornings. This report comes to us from bfro's 211 00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:10.480 online resources. There were three campers watching strange lights in 212 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:14.000 that area, and they were trying to determine if these 213 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:18.799 lights were explainable or if perhaps they were witnessing the 214 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:24.120 infamous Brown Mountain lights. But their concentration was broken. They 215 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:25.840 heard a very odd and I. 216 00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:27.200 Presume chilling noise. 217 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:31.799 It was a long lasting screen, lasting for several minutes, 218 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:36.360 and the witnesses described it as sounding like yodeling. Now 219 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:39.639 that comparison has been made before, and I for one 220 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:44.679 can't think of any North American wildlife that makes a 221 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:46.840 yodling light nighttime sound. 222 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:49.080 And I want to point out before. 223 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.240 We move on, that this area they were in was, 224 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.759 in fact, as I alluded to earlier, known for strange light, 225 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:59.000 a trait that is consistent in the Appalachian Mountains and 226 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:02.879 certainly in the South Mountains, Mountain Range and the periphery 227 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:06.440 in and around the South Mountains. There is definitely some 228 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:13.759 kind of relationship between strange lights and bigfoot or cryptid reports. 229 00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:18.720 Witnesses testimonies across the board bear that app Let's jump 230 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:20.960 ahead to the summer of two thousand and six here 231 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.919 in Cleveland County, my home county, near the town of 232 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.200 King's Mountain, North Carolina, about eight thirty in the evening, 233 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.720 and this comes to us from BFRO and their online resources. 234 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.879 Oneman was standing at her kitchen window about eight thirty 235 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:38.120 at night, washing her hands, and her husband testifies that 236 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:40.759 all of a sudden he heard her yell, what the hell 237 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:44.519 was at She saw a creature. She saw the head 238 00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:48.000 and shoulders of that creature go by the window. Now, 239 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.320 the next day they determined that due to the height, 240 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.639 the window was above the ground and it was a 241 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:58.919 good distance off the ground. In order for his wife 242 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:02.320 to have been able to see that creature through the window, 243 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:04.919 it would have had have been at least ten foot tall. Now, 244 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:09.559 the husband also found a twenty to thirty foot green 245 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:12.759 or living sapling that had been snapped over at about 246 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:16.720 three foot high. In the world of cryptid investigations, we 247 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:20.639 call those tree breaks. It takes a tremendous amount of 248 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:23.759 force to be able to snap a living tree of 249 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:27.639 that size. One more interesting note, this couple has a 250 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:31.320 creek on their property that feeds the Broad River. My 251 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.480 mind immediately went back to the legend of Voggie Crue, 252 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.799 the great movie of the nineteen seventies, the granddaddy of 253 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:41.480 all the big foot films. If you haven't seen it, 254 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:44.759 you need to, you're missing out. But in that movie 255 00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:48.679 there was a famous quote, he always travels the creeks. Now, 256 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:50.720 I can tell you in interviews with some of the 257 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:55.000 old timers around here and with my experiences, the same 258 00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:59.440 is true here, and eyewitness testimonies across the board tells 259 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.840 us that they do, indeed always travel to creeks. 260 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:06.720 Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see. We'll be 261 00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:08.519 right back after these messages. 262 00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:14.559 So if you got a creak along your property, then 263 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.600 you're in a wooded area, you might want to pay attention. 264 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.200 Lockdow County two thousand and eight a family who had 265 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:25.759 a long history of cryptid activity at their home, prior 266 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:30.759 history of screams, wooden knocks, but one night one of 267 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:34.399 the witnesses got the sensation of being watched. Now, I 268 00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:37.039 think most of us can relate to that. I certainly can't. 269 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:40.360 Not only in the woods, or at night outside, but 270 00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:43.600 in my own home, getting that sensation of being watched. 271 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.519 It's some kind of a sixth sense that us humans have. 272 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:49.799 We stepped outside and we heard a series of tree knocks. 273 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.960 So we picked up a piece of wood and made 274 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:57.039 his own tree knock, and was immediately answered by yet 275 00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:57.919 another tree knock. 276 00:15:58.039 --> 00:15:59.759 Now a tree knock, for those of you who don't know. 277 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.679 You take a stick, a wooden stick and hit a tree, 278 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.559 or take two wooden objects and hit them together, and 279 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:07.480 you've got a wood knock. 280 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:08.919 Then there was a rock. 281 00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:12.559 Throwing incidents here on this property. Witness heard rocks hitting 282 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:15.919 the metal roof of his house. Then he caught a 283 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:20.159 glimpse of something gray moving toward him, Now a gray 284 00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:24.759 colored creature, probably an aging creature, probably not just a 285 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:28.360 different color, but aging. But he saw a gray creature. 286 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.320 And then the next day he found some footprints in 287 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:35.960 a dirt bank, and that night he heard howling continue 288 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:36.679 for a while. 289 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:39.279 But here's where it got tricky. 290 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:43.919 Not only did this man here pounding on his walls 291 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:46.799 outside that night. Now I don't mind saying I am 292 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:50.240 a witness to having that happen in a structure that 293 00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:53.720 I was in and that's happened more than once. Not 294 00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:57.159 a comforting sound, especially coming at twelve or one o'clock 295 00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.639 in the morning when he was sound asleep, but he 296 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.799 a so heard pounding on the roof of his house. 297 00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:09.079 Two thousand and nine, McDowell County, Northchuline. Another report, this 298 00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:13.160 brought to us by the online resources of BFRO. It's 299 00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:16.759 a man driving on Highway two twenty six in McDowell County, 300 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:21.640 and it was around two am and he saw something dark, 301 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:25.319 a creature ahead, and it had been crossing the road, 302 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.599 was walking on two legs, and as he slowed and got. 303 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:31.200 Closer to it him, it stopped. 304 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:35.319 He described the creature as walking slumped over at an angle, 305 00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:38.519 having its arms and hands hanging down to about the 306 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:42.200 knee level, and that it was had reddish brown, dark fur, 307 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:45.839 and it was very stout and thick in both its 308 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.279 upper body and its legs, six to seven feet tall. 309 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.880 But here's where it gets interesting. When the creature looked 310 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:56.839 for the headlights of the car, its eyes shone yellow. 311 00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.799 Normally with a big foot sighting at night and you 312 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.960 have eye shine its grain or its red, but in 313 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:08.759 this case it was a yellow shade. That's very interested. 314 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:11.440 Any of you that have insight on that drop it 315 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:14.720 into comments. The other interesting thing about this is that 316 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.400 this creature stopped and didn't run, and then calmly walked 317 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.640 across the road and into a field and disappear. 318 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:25.119 Now the witness is not just an ordinary witness. 319 00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:29.519 He was a park ranger, a retired fark ranger, and 320 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:33.200 so he knows the woods, both daytime woods and nighttime woods, 321 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:37.839 and he got the feeling, he got the instinct that 322 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.119 the creature had laid down in that field to get 323 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:44.240 out of the line of sight and hide. So, for 324 00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:47.720 all you folks that watched the live a couple Sunday 325 00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:50.039 nights ago, I promised you that in each of these 326 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:55.519 episodes of our chronological listing of bigfoot sightings in this area, 327 00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:58.720 that I would give you something new bonus if you will. 328 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:03.839 August two thousand, a family of four was camping in 329 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.880 the South Mountains on a piece of privately held land, 330 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:09.759 and after dark they were roasting hot dogs over the fire. 331 00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:13.640 They began to hear a series of very strange noises, 332 00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:18.119 and the father told me that he just knew absolutely 333 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.440 that these noises were not being made by native wildlife. 334 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:27.319 First there was a series of sounds from multiple sources 335 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:32.240 in the same direction of what was described as shouted chatter. 336 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:36.799 Then off to the west they started hearing clear tree knocks. 337 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.440 Then from the direction of the shouted chatter, they heard 338 00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:43.640 more tree knocks. The family betted down in their tents. 339 00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:46.400 Mom and dad in their tent and the eight year 340 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:50.240 old son and twelve year old daughter in the adjacent tent. 341 00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:53.000 In the wee hours of the morning, Amen, Dad were. 342 00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:55.240 Awakened by the kids, who were very upset. 343 00:19:55.720 --> 00:20:00.240 We're still talking about cryptid encounters as reported by iowaness 344 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:04.359 is here in the western North Carolina Foothills region, specifically 345 00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:07.680 in and around the South Mountains Mountain Range area. We 346 00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:10.440 are up to June twenty ten, and we're going to 347 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:13.519 talk about what we call the Peeler incident. Now, mister 348 00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:16.119 Peeler was a man that lived northwest of the town 349 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:19.440 of Cajia, North Carolina, and the events of that day 350 00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:24.319 made international news. A mister Peeler a man who lived 351 00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:29.480 a mountain man type of lifestyle, very private minded, his 352 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:34.000 own business, very reclusive, didn't bother anybody. The encounter to 353 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.599 him was so serious that he did something that not 354 00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:40.279 many people living the lifestyle that he lived would do, 355 00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:43.599 and that is to notify the police. But he did that, 356 00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:46.519 and there was a report to this day on file 357 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:49.839 with the Cleveland County Sheriff's office, and they investigated and 358 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:53.079 they treated it very seriously. But on this particular day, 359 00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:56.720 he heard screeching and he heard grunning noises coming from 360 00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:01.079 out on his property. He went out, he saw a creature. 361 00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:05.720 He described this creature as extremely tall, with gray and 362 00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:08.599 white hair, and in places the hair was very long. 363 00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:13.279 The most remarkable thing about his description was that he 364 00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:16.440 counted six fingers on each chin, and that is not 365 00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:20.720 unheard of in reports of cryptis from around this country 366 00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:23.559 and from around the world. But it also jives with 367 00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:27.279 the tales even going back to antiquity of giant beings 368 00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:31.039 who had six digits on each chin. Mister Peeler caught 369 00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:33.480 a hard time from a lot of people. He was 370 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:36.680 very open with law enforcement, he was very open with 371 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:39.880 the news media, and a lot of us took him seriously. 372 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:41.640 That a lot of people made fun of him and 373 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:44.640 shame on them. But that day, when he went out 374 00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:46.839 saw the creature, it appeared to him that it was 375 00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:50.599 menacing his dogs. So he faced off with the creature 376 00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:52.920 and he picked up a stick and he yelled at it, 377 00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:56.200 and the creature went away without further incident. And too 378 00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:59.319 my knowledge, he hasn't had any more incidents. If he has, 379 00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:02.160 he's kept him to himself. And I don't blame, but 380 00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:06.440 I believe him. Now, moving up to March twenty eleven, 381 00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:10.119 we're in the Cleveland Rutherford County area right there in 382 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:12.720 the South Mountains at the South Mountain State Park, South 383 00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:16.559 Mountain Gameland, and we have a retired Navy petty officer 384 00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:20.359 who was the witness that day, and he also got 385 00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:23.279 a video of this incident. He was there in a 386 00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:26.559 remote area thickly wooded both sides of the road in 387 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:30.359 a creature came out of a field through some briers 388 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.200 and some bushes and crossed the road in front of him. 389 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:34.440 He described the creature as. 390 00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:37.440 Seven feet tall, and he also was close enough, and 391 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.279 he said, fifteen to twenty feet away that he detected 392 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.200 a very foul odor. He said that the creature threw 393 00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:47.480 up his hands and snarled at him. Now he was 394 00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:53.279 close enough to see everything to include the genitalia of 395 00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:56.240 this creature, and it was a male. It had a limp. 396 00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:59.960 He could see clearly every part of this creature's body. 397 00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.519 It was massive, thick, and stout. But of course there 398 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:06.640 was an academic whose name I won't even call, but 399 00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:10.960 it was the typically arrogant response. When this academic saw 400 00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:12.960 the video, he said, and I'm not sure where he 401 00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:16.119
