Speaker 1: Our Bigfoot Society.
Speaker 2: I've got the privilege of talking to Priscilla Rosmond Davidson
Speaker 2: and Alisha Pfeiffer today. They are from the Area fifty
Speaker 2: eight Museum out there in beautiful Oakridge, Oregon. Thank you
Speaker 2: both for being on the show today.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, thank you for having us.
Speaker 2: I have been looking forward to this interview for a while,
Speaker 2: as listeners will know because I talk about it incessantly.
Speaker 2: I was able to go out to Oakridge this last July.
Speaker 2: It was a life changing experience. It's crazy to think
Speaker 2: it was only for a few days. It feels like
Speaker 2: it was just forever. And then it feels like I've
Speaker 2: known the people out there for years, but it really
Speaker 2: hasn't been that long, which is just so it's weird.
Speaker 2: It's a weird thing to put into words. I can't
Speaker 2: really do it. But you guys have some really cool
Speaker 2: stuff going on out there, and I don't want to
Speaker 2: recap everything I've talked about, but we are going to
Speaker 2: be talking about things that have happened since that time,
Speaker 2: which was July seventeenth through the twentieth around there, give
Speaker 2: or take some days at the end. But Priscilla and Alicia,
Speaker 2: what are some ways how would you describe what the
Speaker 2: Area fifty eight Museum is all about?
Speaker 4: Well, let me just.
Speaker 5: Start with so I got a little piece of Peter
Speaker 5: burn memorial items here that were donated to me from
Speaker 5: Kathy Griffin, which was his life partner for the past
Speaker 5: thirty years. With that being said, I wanted to add
Speaker 5: that I'm a member of the International Wildlife Conservation Society.
Speaker 4: This was what Peter Burn had founded, and we.
Speaker 5: Are accepting charitable contributions to you know tax deductible contributions
Speaker 5: to the peterburn Memorial College Scholarship Fund with the Oregon
Speaker 5: Community Foundation, and it will help a student from the
Speaker 5: Tillamook County area go to college. You can send tax
Speaker 5: deductible donations to Oregon Community Foundation one two two one
Speaker 5: Southwest m Hill Street, Sweet one hundred, Portland, Oregon, nine
Speaker 5: two zero five.
Speaker 4: But I have a bunch of Peter Burns items in
Speaker 4: the museum.
Speaker 5: I have his prints that he had found in the
Speaker 5: Bluff Creek area in.
Speaker 4: Nineteen sixty and I have a ton of.
Speaker 5: His autograph books and then all kind of stuff that
Speaker 5: he had gathered.
Speaker 4: While he was in Nepal.
Speaker 5: And then I have some items here on display from
Speaker 5: Don Monroe that were donated and it was his artist
Speaker 5: rendition of what he had ran into while he was
Speaker 5: in Montana. And so we have the dog man that
Speaker 5: he had seen himself and he had sculpted a clay
Speaker 5: figure is here, and the Naha Man, which was an
Speaker 5: artifact that he found while he was eight thousand feet
Speaker 5: in elevation, and it was the original was donated to
Speaker 5: another museum and I have a copy rendition of it.
Speaker 5: So and that's on display here. My best museum piece
Speaker 5: is the bigfoot knee impressions that were donated by Al
Speaker 5: Moon Lab and whatever made these impressions, which you know
Speaker 5: obviously it was a big foot weighed fourteen hundred pounds
Speaker 5: and they've gotten hair samples from it, and I was
Speaker 5: pretty exciting piece.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some cool stuff to.
Speaker 2: See, absolutely, I mean those knee impressions, and I believe
Speaker 2: it was Toab Johnson that donated those to Area fifty eight.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of the I am so excited to
Speaker 2: see those in person. I'm a big fan of Toab
Speaker 2: and you know that if you want to actually read
Speaker 2: about those, you can, you know, read his book Al Moonlab.
Speaker 2: It's just a fascinating story of how him and we're
Speaker 2: involved with that. And to be able to actually you
Speaker 2: can go to a place see things like that in person,
Speaker 2: see so many different artifacts from Peter Burn, which you know,
Speaker 2: some listeners might not be aware of who Peter was.
Speaker 2: Peter was one of the very influential figures in a
Speaker 2: big history back in the nineteen sixties. And to be
Speaker 2: able to go to a place where, you know, down
Speaker 2: in your area of organ where there's so many.
Speaker 1: Artifacts it is very very cool.
Speaker 2: I want to also make sure people are aware that
Speaker 2: this isn't just a place where you can see different artifacts,
Speaker 2: but you also have things that people can can purchase
Speaker 2: as well, different Bigfoot related items or things like that.
Speaker 1: What kind of things.
Speaker 2: Do you have available for people to purchase in the
Speaker 2: gift shop.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I do have a Bigfoot supply kit where
Speaker 5: you know, it'll have plastercast material, you know, so if
Speaker 5: you find prints that you can cast them a flag
Speaker 5: so you can find it when when you.
Speaker 4: Have to go back and you know, dig it up.
Speaker 5: And then I have different things like EMF detectives so
Speaker 5: you can you know, document if there's any other energy
Speaker 5: around that you might not be able to feel yourself.
Speaker 5: And there's you know, tweezers and vials and stuff so
Speaker 5: in case you find hair samples. I have maps of
Speaker 5: the area, and you know, things like lanterns or you know,
Speaker 5: flashlights that you can purchase to go out with you
Speaker 5: and monoculars and you know, little hunting supply stuff.
Speaker 3: Good stuff for field researching. But then there's also really
Speaker 3: cute like sasquatch wal art and little decor pieces or
Speaker 3: nickknack key chains, beanies, and hats, and then there is
Speaker 3: a fantastic selection of books too, some of them signed
Speaker 3: even yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and all of Peter birds stuff is signed.
Speaker 1: Oh wow. Okay, so that's that's actually a huge deal.
Speaker 2: So if they're hardcore bigfoot collectors out there, it can
Speaker 2: actually go to Area fifty eight and purchase books that
Speaker 2: were signed by Peter Bird.
Speaker 5: We have the Hunt for Yetti, we have the Hunt
Speaker 5: for Bigfoot and just tell me the search for Bigfoot,
Speaker 5: monster or man, and we have the Hunt for Yetti here.
Speaker 5: There's two different versions of the Hunt for Bigfoot. I
Speaker 5: guess one is revised and updated and they're all signed here.
Speaker 4: Is there any others there? And I have a couple
Speaker 4: here of a fortunate life.
Speaker 3: A fortunate life. If you didn't hear that, yes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 2: You know, listeners out there, if you're in the big
Speaker 2: Foot book collecting, you know how hard it is to
Speaker 2: find good big foot books and you never find them
Speaker 2: autographed by the authors. So I mean, that's a huge
Speaker 2: reason you would want to go check out Area fifty eight.
Speaker 2: Does it cost any money to get into the museum, Priscilla, No,
Speaker 2: oh wow, that's just come on in. Just bring yourself
Speaker 2: in Alicia. How did you get involved with the museum.
Speaker 3: Well, I had been kind of helping out keep an
Speaker 3: eye on the al Moon Lab area for Tob. My
Speaker 3: friend Jeff Brown and I were down there a lot,
Speaker 3: and Tobe had reached out to me saying that Priscilla
Speaker 3: was going to open this museum, and he was like, hey,
Speaker 3: do you think that you'd like to help her with
Speaker 3: you know, aught in you know, task things and possibly
Speaker 3: getting a YouTube channel going, which by no means am
Speaker 3: I a professional, but I can kind of help with
Speaker 3: some text stuff. I had gone to the festival last year,
Speaker 3: but like we didn't really. I mean, you're probably busy
Speaker 3: running around the whole time. But I hadn't actually officially
Speaker 3: met you until we met down at the Albumling Lab
Speaker 3: with Darryl when he came into town. Olympics Strange days,
Speaker 3: oh and Olympic Strange Days. Yeah, so we didn't wait
Speaker 3: until September. And like instant connection.
Speaker 5: I can't believe the connection with the Bigfoot community is.
Speaker 4: Just like amazing. I feel like we've we've known each
Speaker 4: other forever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which you were just kind of saying that in
Speaker 3: the beginning too, Jeremiah, like it just we clicked and
Speaker 3: it feels like we've known each other for a long time.
Speaker 4: So I think it's been four months.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, But I've just been coming here on my
Speaker 3: days off and helping out when I can and just
Speaker 3: trying to But we've been also going out into the
Speaker 3: woods too. You're in your dance spot and having some
Speaker 3: pretty interesting stuff happen, and yeah, that's.
Speaker 2: That's really cool. You're able to become involved like that.
Speaker 2: Are there any other people we want to make sure
Speaker 2: that we mentioned that are also involved with making Area
Speaker 2: fifty eight what it is?
Speaker 4: Tobe Johnson has just he's amazing.
Speaker 5: You know, he donated the big Foot Kney prints and
Speaker 5: it's just he's been promoting it and he's helping me
Speaker 5: this next Sasquatch Summer Fest to MC because I'm really shy,
Speaker 5: and I'm like, I'm really trying to get over it,
Speaker 5: and I'm I will, I will overcome my shyness absolutely,
Speaker 5: But so Tobe was like, you know I can MC.
Speaker 5: I'm so, you know, I've done this before and I'm
Speaker 5: used to it and I have no problem with, you know,
Speaker 5: public speaking, and I'm.
Speaker 3: Like, okay, absolutely, And then when it comes to like
Speaker 3: going out doing stuff. Kind of our main crew is you, me, Steve,
Speaker 3: your husband, and then Jeff Brown. So we usually get
Speaker 3: all together and go out into the woods and see
Speaker 3: what kind of stuff we can stir up out there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and just a few days ago we had to
Speaker 5: walk in who wanted to tell us his experiences.
Speaker 4: Nam Zach Miller.
Speaker 5: He's the one that had encountered a big foot while
Speaker 5: he was out chopping or you know, using his chainsaw
Speaker 5: in the woods. Yes, and he left everything behind and
Speaker 5: was he came like to our house. He's like, because
Speaker 5: you know, he knew that we were you know, big
Speaker 5: footters or whatever, and he's like, I left everything there.
Speaker 4: I don't want to go back by.
Speaker 5: Myself, and if you guys would like to come with me,
Speaker 5: And so all his stuff was there when we.
Speaker 4: Went back, and so that was fun.
Speaker 5: But him and his wife had an experience a few
Speaker 5: months ago and he wanted to share that with us,
Speaker 5: so we documented it. And then we went out to
Speaker 5: his property and went up on the ridge and we
Speaker 5: found some interesting stuff. And I haven't uploaded it yet.
Speaker 3: I need alicious help to That's probably the next one
Speaker 3: that will come out.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm glad that you bring that up, because
Speaker 2: one of the things I like best about Area fifty
Speaker 2: eight is how you're able to provide a place for
Speaker 2: people to come in what they've experienced and it's not.
Speaker 1: All just Bigfoot related.
Speaker 2: You have a YouTube channel that has quite a few
Speaker 2: encounters out already, and would you be able to share
Speaker 2: maybe about some others that you've put up on the
Speaker 2: channel as well.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, So a couple of weeks ago, so this guy,
Speaker 5: his name is Sebastian, and he had contacted me last
Speaker 5: year before Sasquatch Summer, and he was interested in the
Speaker 5: more paranormal side and he heard about Doug Meetcham and
Speaker 5: doing the hypno hypnotism for the abduction. But so he
Speaker 5: contacted me and said that he had been experiencing abduction
Speaker 5: since he's about five years old, and so, you know,
Speaker 5: I asked what he had come in and so we
Speaker 5: documentmented that and you know, I it's quite a story
Speaker 5: and my heart goes out to him. I mean, he
Speaker 5: broke down and started crying while he was telling his
Speaker 5: abduction story. And then he told me that his girlfriend,
Speaker 5: who also experienced seeing aliens at his house at the
Speaker 5: foot of his bed, she's going to come in next
Speaker 5: and tell me what she experienced and I'll be getting
Speaker 5: that up there too.
Speaker 2: Are what are the times that people can come and
Speaker 2: visit the museum?
Speaker 5: So I'm open Monday through Friday nine to three and
Speaker 5: Saturdays we like to use it for you know, editing
Speaker 5: and the technical side.
Speaker 4: But I am here on a lot of Saturdays. If
Speaker 4: someone wants.
Speaker 5: To come in and talk, you know, look at stuff
Speaker 5: around here, they can, but I may not be able to, you.
Speaker 4: Know, do our interview on a Saturday. But Monday through
Speaker 4: Friday ninety three awesome.
Speaker 2: It's I will say from experience, you know, it is
Speaker 2: relatively easy to get to Oakridge for people out of state.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're having to fly in, you can
Speaker 2: just fly into Eugene and then it's about forty five
Speaker 2: minute drive down fifty eight or so and place right
Speaker 2: next to the dairy Queen right yeap, yep.
Speaker 3: Right before it. And then people can also reach out
Speaker 3: through the Area of fifty eight Museum Facebook or the
Speaker 3: Gmail and it's just Area fifty eight Museum at gmail
Speaker 3: dot com. That's another way people want to schedule an
Speaker 3: interview with Priscilla or yeah, tell their story.
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
Speaker 4: I'm a good listener. I'm here to listen, not to judge.
Speaker 2: So and that's that's a great, great deal of it.
Speaker 2: Big So Society will be right back after these messages.
Speaker 2: So listeners to my show have heard me talk a
Speaker 2: lot about an area called Meadow Area, or sometimes it's
Speaker 2: referred to Ronnie or Ronnie's Area or Ronnie's Research Area
Speaker 2: or Dwayne's Area has a lot of different names from
Speaker 2: here on out.
Speaker 1: It now, and.
Speaker 2: I want to make sure I get this right because
Speaker 2: I want to make sure people can fall along on
Speaker 2: all the different.
Speaker 1: You know areas.
Speaker 2: That area is being referred to as o Cole correct.
Speaker 1: Perfect.
Speaker 2: So now my listeners are all on board because I
Speaker 2: say that they would be so so confused and lost right,
Speaker 2: which I think it's a really awesome name for it actually.
Speaker 2: So the o Coal Area is the place where a
Speaker 2: lot of things have happened over the years, and listeners,
Speaker 2: if you want to hear more about this, if you
Speaker 2: go on YouTube under the playlist for Bigfoot Society, there's
Speaker 2: an okrage organ playlist. It's all all in there. There's
Speaker 2: a lot in there, and you can catch up with
Speaker 2: everything that's happened. But The cool thing about the area
Speaker 2: fifty eight team is that you're actually you're not just
Speaker 2: staying in this one little building. You're actually going out
Speaker 2: to this area, I would say quite a bit, and
Speaker 2: you're spending time to go out and actively check out
Speaker 2: what is going on in this area. Would you be
Speaker 2: able to share a little bit about things that you've
Speaker 2: been able to experience.
Speaker 3: So it was that Christmas Eve that we It was
Speaker 3: just before Christmas that the big thing happened, and then
Speaker 3: we came back Christis okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we went out my phone.
Speaker 5: Okay, So electronic weirdness happens every time we go up
Speaker 5: there and have an experience. Electric stuff just happens, Like
Speaker 5: the battery on our van.
Speaker 4: Will go low. Yeah, so that seems like.
Speaker 5: Okay, we need to like look at this every time
Speaker 5: because I want you guys to notice that it has
Speaker 5: it'll be a full charge and then it'll.
Speaker 4: Just go low when we have an experience.
Speaker 5: But me and Alicia and I we had taken off
Speaker 5: through the meadow and I had my phone on a
Speaker 5: selfie stick, so I wasn't touching it.
Speaker 4: I had it on video. I had it.
Speaker 5: Sideways and I hit the record and I'm documenting us
Speaker 5: going into the woods from you know, the meadow. My
Speaker 5: phone just like it crashes. It doesn't, the battery just
Speaker 5: dies on it instantly. So I'm like, Okay, Alicia, my
Speaker 5: phone just did somewhere. I need to start recording. And
Speaker 5: then she starts recording. But I'll tell you what happens
Speaker 5: after she records with my phone.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so yeah, I've turned my camera on. And
Speaker 3: also it was like raining, but we're walking back in
Speaker 3: there and we kind of just stand and listen for
Speaker 3: a while, and all of a sudden, we start hearing
Speaker 3: this rhythmic knocking and we're like looking at each other, just.
Speaker 4: Like, what the heck?
Speaker 3: The everybody else's back towards the road. We had a
Speaker 3: pretty big group with us that day, but we were
Speaker 3: the only ones back in there.
Speaker 5: And my son, who's nineteen and high functioning autistic, he
Speaker 5: knows where we're at, you know, he drives up to
Speaker 5: our location and he's he's running towards me and Alicia,
Speaker 5: and this while this knocking or actually it's a vocalization,
Speaker 5: it's it was a really deep So I was thinking,
Speaker 5: like the first thing that's popped in my head was,
Speaker 5: you know, that it was knocking, but after further review,
Speaker 5: we think it was vobilization. But my son, who's autistic,
Speaker 5: I'm so sorry to cut you off for it, I
Speaker 5: think that he actually may have, you know, contributed to
Speaker 5: this encounter with you know, the connection with Bigfoot and autism,
Speaker 5: because I think it's just you know, there's an innocence
Speaker 5: there and you know, and Ben, he's just like.
Speaker 4: I hear it.
Speaker 5: Maybe Bigfoot is real, because you know, that's his things.
Speaker 5: He likes to say Bigfoot's not real. And he's like no,
Speaker 5: because that's a bear. And I'm like, I don't think
Speaker 5: bears knock. And he's like, okay, I'm leaving, and he's
Speaker 5: he gets in his car and goes back home because he.
Speaker 4: Doesn't want to be out there anymore.
Speaker 6: But okay, yeah, well we I thought it was going
Speaker 6: to stop, and so I always tried to do like
Speaker 6: the talking out loud thing because I've had some luck
Speaker 6: with it in the past.
Speaker 3: So I just when it stopped, I said like, thank you,
Speaker 3: could you do that again? And the guys were coming, so,
Speaker 3: like Jeff, Steve and Ben were walking up towards us,
Speaker 3: and Brazilla's like, you guys, something's going on and so,
Speaker 3: but when I asked for it to do it again,
Speaker 3: it continued to do the same series of At the time,
Speaker 3: it sounded like knocking. But yeah, we had the recording
Speaker 3: of it and sent them to our Facebook group chat
Speaker 3: and I believe you and TOE both enhanced the audio
Speaker 3: and then that revealed potential vocals or even language possibly
Speaker 3: which if people want to listen to those we Toe
Speaker 3: uploaded them to the recent Olympic Strange Days Live Presents
Speaker 3: and it's on the area fifty eight chan. But I
Speaker 3: believe part two has the audio recordings in it and
Speaker 3: listen with headphones. But yeah, that was a really wild experience.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's It definitely had some of the sounds that
Speaker 2: sound like precursors of language that David Ellis will sometimes
Speaker 2: call out in different interviews that he does, and it's
Speaker 2: something that another group I was part of the Sunday
Speaker 2: of Sasquash Summerfest the Sunday after we went up there,
Speaker 2: and we pretty much captured the same thing. Individual named
Speaker 2: Andrew captured it using his iPhone audio recorders.
Speaker 1: So it's just it's.
Speaker 2: Fascinating to hear similar things captured in the same area.
Speaker 2: And then I was just thinking, as you're sharing about
Speaker 2: the batteries going dead on stuff, I was like, man,
Speaker 2: it's weird that we didn't really that we didn't really experience.
Speaker 2: And then I was like, oh, yeah we did. And
Speaker 2: I remembered on Sunday when we were up there, I
Speaker 2: couldn't capture anything on it myself because my phone was dead.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, all my stuff was dead and
Speaker 2: it didn't even click. At the time, it was just like, man,
Speaker 2: it's so weird. I always charge up my stuff and
Speaker 2: it's like, nothing's working. Why is it all dead? Not
Speaker 2: even click in my mind at But yeah, so I
Speaker 2: guess that potentially could have happened to me as well
Speaker 2: when I was out there in July. But so that is,
Speaker 2: that's a very interesting audio that you guys captured. You
Speaker 2: have a really good group chat on the Area fifty
Speaker 2: eight channel, and I'll link that in the show notes
Speaker 2: so people can listen to that as well.
Speaker 4: So when I.
Speaker 5: Got my phone back to the office and I started
Speaker 5: charging it, all of my like seven thousand photos they
Speaker 5: were all blurry, old photos were blurry. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 5: this is weird. The video I'm like twenty six minutes.
Speaker 5: I didn't get a twenty six minute video?
Speaker 4: What is this?
Speaker 5: And it was so our video of us walking into
Speaker 5: the woods, which was only about no longer than a minute.
Speaker 5: It was twenty six seconds, and then it switched to
Speaker 5: slow mo and went to the video took up twenty
Speaker 5: six minutes for less than a minute video because it
Speaker 5: switched itself to SlowMo, which killed my memory and filled
Speaker 5: it in which what made my camera stop. I was
Speaker 5: not touching it. I did not switch it. You know,
Speaker 5: it was ahead of me like four feet with my
Speaker 5: you know, selfie stick while I was recording.
Speaker 4: So, yeah, it's it's.
Speaker 2: A very very strange area up there. I think it's
Speaker 2: there's so many different ways that whatever is going on
Speaker 2: up there interacts with people. Things that I've been up
Speaker 2: there where one night there was an individual walking down
Speaker 2: the road by themselves and it wasn't it wasn't in
Speaker 2: the meadow area, but she was walking from to say
Speaker 2: this in such a way, there's another area where people
Speaker 2: will gather sometimes and she was walking from that down
Speaker 2: the road back to the meadow and she had actually
Speaker 2: heard her name called from the woods. So there's some
Speaker 2: really weird, weird stuff that happens up there. Are there
Speaker 2: any other weird things that you guys have experienced up
Speaker 2: in that area since last July?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: So this was so I so loss on eBay. I
Speaker 5: don't know why people buy moss, but they do so.
Speaker 5: A few days before my festival, I told Chad day
Speaker 5: month from you know, searching for sasquash. I'm like, I
Speaker 5: have to go get moss. I have to sell it
Speaker 5: or I have to ship it out in the morning
Speaker 5: because you only have three days, you know. I'm like,
Speaker 5: and it's midnight. It's actually my birthday is July seventeenth.
Speaker 5: It was Wednesday morning. I turned fifty. But Chad's like, yeah,
Speaker 5: let's go. Let's you know, I'll go pick moss with you.
Speaker 5: I'm like, are you really He's like yeah, let's go.
Speaker 5: And I'm like okay, cool. So we go up to
Speaker 5: okl And and Chad's like six or ten.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's right.
Speaker 5: Maybe that's what got you know, these things attention, because
Speaker 5: you know, he's just a very tall human. But so
Speaker 5: he's he's grabbing moss from all these really high branches
Speaker 5: and we're just out there talking my with us. Eva
Speaker 5: She's she's sitting in the car, playing on the phone
Speaker 5: and me and chatter out there gathering moss and just talking.
Speaker 5: We've probably been out there for like twenty minutes. And
Speaker 5: then he's like, you know, Priscilla, I was telling your dad,
Speaker 5: you know whatever, and that you know, tighten up the
Speaker 5: the flashlight lens.
Speaker 4: You know, that'd be a good deterrent for you know,
Speaker 4: Big Fer.
Speaker 5: It's just not even up there for big but we're
Speaker 5: just talking, you know, and he shines that light and
Speaker 5: probably less than fifty yards away, there's eyes shine, and
Speaker 5: it's it's.
Speaker 4: Tall, and it's like for some and like I'm I'm.
Speaker 5: A little scared, you know, it's dark, and my granddaughter
Speaker 5: is in the car. And then and then another set
Speaker 5: of eyes show up and it's like a couple of
Speaker 5: feet off the ground. And later we would find that
Speaker 5: actually there was a ledge, so it wasn't.
Speaker 4: A maybe big flit or one.
Speaker 5: Crawling because you know, of course I'm just thinking crawling
Speaker 5: and you know, I'm.
Speaker 4: S character death.
Speaker 5: But it was it was on a ledge, and it
Speaker 5: was just like peeking over the ledge at us, curious
Speaker 5: as to you know, probably what we were doing.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, he's like, you want to go towards
Speaker 4: I'm like, no, I don't want to go towards it.
Speaker 5: I'm going to go to the car and see Eva.
Speaker 5: And then Chad had seen one more set advice to
Speaker 5: show up. This had gotten back to Cliff Bracklan who
Speaker 5: was at the festival, and he went back with them
Speaker 5: to look for prints or tracks because and he'd found one.
Speaker 4: So it was.
Speaker 5: You know, extra confirmation that we you know, didn't see
Speaker 5: elk eye shine in the distance, or you know that
Speaker 5: there was actual facts that were found.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, there's a an interesting thing that the group was
Speaker 2: able to do. I don't know if you would be
Speaker 2: able to share about this, is you actually did a
Speaker 2: kind of an overnighter in the Okhole area on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2: Would you mind sharing about what happened?
Speaker 3: Got very cold and what it was like sleet, snow
Speaker 3: coming down towards the end. So we ended up not
Speaker 3: being able to like make it through the full night.
Speaker 3: We crashed on Priscilla's couch in her warmhouse.
Speaker 2: Big for Society will be right back after these messages.
Speaker 3: But we tried a whole lot of things. I have
Speaker 3: a bag full of gadgets for like, you know, ghost hunting,
Speaker 3: equipment in addition to like thermals and cameras and all
Speaker 3: that stuff. But so we were trying to reach out
Speaker 3: to pretty much anything and everything, not just bigfoot out
Speaker 3: there to see if we got action. And it was
Speaker 3: pretty quiet for the most part.
Speaker 4: But the yeah, except for so she had that what.
Speaker 3: Was it called that we did an est method with
Speaker 3: the spirit box and where you listen one person listens
Speaker 3: while everybody else like listen or asks questions and then
Speaker 3: I just say what I hear through the state sweeping
Speaker 3: through the stations.
Speaker 5: And so she goes over to the front of her
Speaker 5: car and she had set down what was it.
Speaker 3: That you set down that I think it was a recorder?
Speaker 4: The recorder.
Speaker 5: Okay, she had set down the recorder and then she
Speaker 5: walks over to the front of her car, so you know,
Speaker 5: she can't hear any questions that we might be asking.
Speaker 5: And then the recorder that was on the back of
Speaker 5: our card flies off and hit Steve in the foot. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like a slide off like it just you know,
Speaker 3: slipped off or anything. It was like like something through
Speaker 3: it on the ground.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So so we didn't have any bigfoot activity, but
Speaker 5: we had that it was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was interesting, but we still had a great time.
Speaker 3: But I mean, I imagine maybe they wouldn't want to be
Speaker 3: up there when it's cold and sleety sleep snowing. Whatever
Speaker 3: that was. But then we went back again.
Speaker 4: What was that that was like?
Speaker 3: Was that last Tuesday, because I think it was just
Speaker 3: after we did the the Live with Toe. So we
Speaker 3: went up there for a few hours after that, and
Speaker 3: we were kind of split up more like the guys
Speaker 3: were Steve and Jeff were in an area, and then
Speaker 3: you and me and Ben were together for a bit.
Speaker 3: And then I was feeling confident and I walked off
Speaker 3: down the road towards the dead end. And at one point,
Speaker 3: I mean I was even walking, like I turned the
Speaker 3: flashlight off on my phone because we weren't prepared to
Speaker 3: really go out into the wood that day, so I
Speaker 3: didn't have anything on me besides flash light on my phone,
Speaker 3: and I was even just walking in the dark. At
Speaker 3: one point. I'm not sure what came over me, but
Speaker 3: I was like feeling very confident, and I thought she
Speaker 3: was brave, great, and I had my I used my
Speaker 3: voice uh and he's called voice note on iPhones. That's
Speaker 3: what I used. To record on my phone if I
Speaker 3: have nothing else. And I was trying to get some activity,
Speaker 3: and I was doing the like talking out loud, and
Speaker 3: there wasn't really many responses or anything. It was very quiet.
Speaker 3: And then I asked if so if they could like
Speaker 3: take some steps towards me, like like stick breaks or something,
Speaker 3: so that I could hear them walking or that they're
Speaker 3: in my presence. And a few seconds past, and immediately
Speaker 3: like that, I hear steps of like twig branches breaking
Speaker 3: towards my direction on the left side of the road,
Speaker 3: and I just lost it. I like yelled out, but
Speaker 3: I was initially I kind of yell screamed, and then
Speaker 3: I'm like laughing as I'm running towards Priscilla.
Speaker 4: I'm running towards her. Yeah, I don't know what I
Speaker 4: would be able to do. But and like guys are
Speaker 4: way off in the back.
Speaker 5: It's like they couldn't even hear me say mebe guys
Speaker 5: and they shouldn't out.
Speaker 3: And You're like, I don't have anything on me to
Speaker 3: protect us, because really I should have thinking about the
Speaker 3: fact that there could be you know, bear, cougar whatever
Speaker 3: out there, but the fact that it happened right after
Speaker 3: I asked, makes me lean towards it was maybe one
Speaker 3: of them, because it was like kind of an intelligent
Speaker 3: required response in a way. So then we went back
Speaker 3: just her and I and they did it for her.
Speaker 3: I asked if they could do it. I apologiz. I
Speaker 3: was like sorry, I got scared and I ran off,
Speaker 3: and I asked if they would do it again, and
Speaker 3: they did take a couple more steps, and then we
Speaker 3: called the guys over to be to hear. Yeah, the
Speaker 3: MF detectors again. But yeah, then when the guys you know,
Speaker 3: kind of backed us up and had protective measures in
Speaker 3: case it was a predatory animal, then it was completely silent.
Speaker 3: So and I really wish I had my thermal on
Speaker 3: me because I could have possibly seen something. But then again,
Speaker 3: maybe they wouldn't have came so close if I did so.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but that was funny and scary.
Speaker 2: That's that's some wild stuff. I don't know how I
Speaker 2: would have reacted myself. More power to ye for that's
Speaker 2: you know. The thing I like about you is you're
Speaker 2: not scared to try m stuff out there, and more power.
Speaker 3: Maybe some day I didn't. Yeah, some day I cannot.
Speaker 2: Freak out but yeah, yeah, ever since because we had
Speaker 2: an interview after I mean, man, it feels like a
Speaker 2: lot longer than that, but it was after we met
Speaker 2: in July at the festival, and then I had you
Speaker 2: on the show, and after that I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: she is not afraid to try some stuff for.
Speaker 1: Sure, which is pretty cool.
Speaker 4: Might be a little afterwards.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I cannot wait to go back out there
Speaker 2: in a few months and to experience more of the
Speaker 2: Oakridge area. It's just it's a beautiful town. I mean
Speaker 2: to kind of talk about the town itself, is I
Speaker 2: mean it's known as the mountain bike capital of the
Speaker 2: Pacific Northwest, right, yes, yeah, I mean so it's a
Speaker 2: pretty big deal. Like if you're in the mountain biking
Speaker 2: and Bigfoot, it's the perfect place to be, Priscilla, if
Speaker 2: you could have any person come in the museum that
Speaker 2: you might really want to meet, do you have any
Speaker 2: names you'd want to and throw out to maybe manifest it,
Speaker 2: you know what?
Speaker 5: So speaking this Ron moorehead, I would love to meet him.
Speaker 5: He I did not know this. He's from Mariposa, California, which.
Speaker 4: I'm from Mariposa, California. I never knew that he was from.
Speaker 5: There and he owned the forty nine er or miners
Speaker 5: Ann Sorry, miners Anne was a restaurant that I would
Speaker 5: always go to as a kid, and I don't know
Speaker 5: if you old it when I went there. But I
Speaker 5: had the opportunity to drive him to Mariposa last year
Speaker 5: and I was like, you know what, I'll just I'll
Speaker 5: just take you and I'd love to you know, hear
Speaker 5: your stories and just pick your brain all the way
Speaker 5: down there and then you know, meet up with some
Speaker 5: of my childhood friends.
Speaker 4: But the drive never happened. So you know, I would
Speaker 4: love to meet Ron Morehead.
Speaker 1: Well, you never know, maybe maybe it'll happen.
Speaker 2: I mean, having a place like Area fifty eight, you
Speaker 2: never know who's going to walk through the door. I
Speaker 2: hear stories from about Cliff's Museum all the time and
Speaker 2: the people that show up in that place some pretty
Speaker 2: special stuff, and I can see the same thing happening
Speaker 2: to Area fifty eight as well, So cross your fingers.
Speaker 2: Ron might come through the door. I think I remember
Speaker 2: hearing back in the day like he used to actually
Speaker 2: live in that area or do a lot of research
Speaker 2: in that area. I think further maybe further west, a
Speaker 2: little bit around west for I don't know, I have
Speaker 2: to look through my notes.
Speaker 1: It's been a while, but.
Speaker 2: It is such a cool guy, one of the nicest
Speaker 2: guys in a Bigfoot bigfooting that you can talk to,
Speaker 2: for sure. But Melicia and Priscilla, it's been it's been
Speaker 2: such a fun chat about the museum area fifty eight
Speaker 2: and what you guys have been experiencing. I want to
Speaker 2: make sure if there's anything else that you were wanting
Speaker 2: to make sure that you shared about the museum before
