28
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: All right, everybody, Welcome to the Paranormal Portal podcast. I'm

29
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,919
your host Brent Thomas, and I am joined by my

30
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,840
great friend and co host mister Don Longbeard here via Skype.

31
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,159
Speaker 5: That would be me as usual as usual.

32
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: You're still you and thank you so much for being here. Brother.

33
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:05,840
Tonight we are going to do some Bigfoot encounter stories.

34
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:09,560
And I mean, there's so many of these out there,

35
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,680
and what always baffles my imagination, Don, is that they're

36
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,520
all over the place.

37
00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they're everywhere, right, that's that.

38
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's a good thing or a

39
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,520
bad thing or what. And on the last show, last

40
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,599
Friday show, I talked about the adaptability of these things,

41
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,360
and you know, I mean, really, wherever you are, at

42
00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:38,280
least in most places in the world, you could very

43
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:39,759
well have an encounter of your own.

44
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, isn't that that? It is? It is crazy. And

45
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:49,479
so the Gimlin Patterson Gimlin film that was down in California,

46
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:49,879
is that right?

47
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:50,159
Speaker 4: Yeah?

48
00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:53,199
Speaker 5: Bluff Creek, right, Okay. And then of course you know

49
00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:56,400
we've got supposedly the signings up in the Pacific Northwest,

50
00:03:56,439 --> 00:04:00,960
you know, Washington, you know Upper Oregon, you know, somewhat

51
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:03,919
over here by where we are, North Idaho, right.

52
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, there's plenty over into Montana. I mean

53
00:04:07,639 --> 00:04:10,319
just in our neck of the woods. It's the entire

54
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,319
Pacific Northwest is blanketed. And then you go to Florida

55
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:16,839
you get the Skunk Cape, you go to you know, Ohio,

56
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:19,519
you got the grass Man, you got boggers all over

57
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:25,120
the south and over. So I mean they are everywhere.

58
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,920
They really are everywhere, and that's just in our in

59
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,800
our United States. Of course, we talked with our friend

60
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,839
Caid Moya of Believe podcast in Australia and they got

61
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,759
Yawi's you know. So I mean they're they're just everywhere.

62
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,480
So tonight we're going to talk about sometimes some of

63
00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:45,079
the times and when people have come face to face

64
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:48,519
or at least close to these things and what they

65
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,360
had to say about it. So I think we're going

66
00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:53,839
to dive in with that. You good to go, brother, Yeah,

67
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,360
let's do it all right. So the first one actually

68
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,160
in salute to our good friend Caid Moya in Australia.

69
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,560
I've got a couple of Australian encounters, all right. So

70
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,639
the narrative is as follows. As a naturalist with a

71
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,959
particular interest in mammals, I've been investigating reports of unexplained

72
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,720
predators and stock killing in southern and Western Victoria, Australia.

73
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:22,160
For some time. I'm not associated with any research group

74
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,879
with a focus on cryptic animals, but lais with other

75
00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:29,839
independent researchers as appropriate. In the last few years, I've

76
00:05:29,879 --> 00:05:32,720
been given two reports of what appeared to be hair

77
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,399
covered manlike animals in my research area. Intellectually, I have

78
00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:41,439
great problems with the idea of such animals occurring in Australia,

79
00:05:41,519 --> 00:05:44,959
but as I trust and respect the informants regarding these

80
00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:47,439
two reports, I thought it best to make you all

81
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,759
aware of them. The first report I wished to lodge

82
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:54,160
came from work colleague of mine and took place in

83
00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:58,399
the early nineteen nineties. Michael and his wife, both tertiary

84
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,560
educated health professionals, and five year old son, observed a

85
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,959
meter high, approximately three point three foot tall, hairy hominid

86
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,560
at close range for several seconds near their house in

87
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,639
the bush, a few kilometers north of Ballarate, Ballarats. Maybe

88
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,360
it's Ballarat. Sorry for those of you in Australia, I'm

89
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,600
sorry if I'm brutalizing your towns. But the sighting was

90
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,879
made late in the day but in good lights, and

91
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,720
initially at a range of only several meters, the beast

92
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,800
ran away from them at great speed. They sped, or

93
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,399
a speed rather they felt no human could move at all.

94
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,000
While it was quite short when compared to an adult human,

95
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,920
it seemed quite heavily built, and its four limbs appeared

96
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,319
to be disproportionately long. The hair was all over its

97
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:49,800
body and around five centimeters long, which is approximately one

98
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,720
point nine to two inches, and the same length on

99
00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:55,879
the head, and dark brown in color. The face was

100
00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:58,439
not seen and the ears were not noted, and it

101
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,800
ran from where they had to st it near the

102
00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:04,560
entrance to their drive, diagonally across the dirt road that

103
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,279
services the district into a pine plantation and crashed through

104
00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:12,639
the undergrowth. The ground was too hard for tracks. It

105
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,639
made no sound nor left any order. Interestingly enough, at

106
00:07:17,639 --> 00:07:20,480
the time their son said he had seen it before,

107
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:25,600
and now, however, he has absolutely no memory of the event,

108
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,839
and his parents don't like to refer to it. Now.

109
00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:31,160
That's kind of interesting, right, because that's a three point

110
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:36,160
you know, three foot tall. Harry hammanid, Now, I remember

111
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,480
when I was on kid's well, Caid was on the portal.

112
00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:44,000
He had mentioned a smaller version of the sasquatch, but

113
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,959
it was a different name, and for the life of

114
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,639
me right now, I can't remember what it was.

115
00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 5: Was not the Ginjari.

116
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 4: Maybe it was the ginger yeah or yeah. I think

117
00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:57,120
he said there were several names, and that was one

118
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,199
of them, the ginger ya, I think when he yeah.

119
00:08:00,519 --> 00:08:04,160
So if that is it, that's that's pretty incredible. But

120
00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:07,399
there you have it, a first firsthand a sighting of

121
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,759
that cryptid, which I do believe is distinctly different from

122
00:08:10,759 --> 00:08:12,800
the Yawi. I don't think they are one and the same.

123
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,160
It seems like there's a few different races of them

124
00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:23,079
down there, and those two anyway. But I know they

125
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,920
got a whole host of cryptids in Australia, but the

126
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,120
second such well they got. They got a whole host

127
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,360
of a lot of things down in Australia, and most

128
00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:32,919
of them seem to be able to eat people.

129
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 5: So a whole big bunch of nopes.

130
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 4: Do you come from a landown under? Nope? Nope. So

131
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,039
I've never had it, but I don't know if it's

132
00:08:47,039 --> 00:08:50,159
good or not. I think it's just a vegetable spread,

133
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:50,519
isn't it.

134
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, something like that.

135
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:57,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you'll be so proud of us, all right.

136
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,600
So the next one is the observer who wishes main.

137
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,679
Anonymous told me that in about nineteen eighty nine, he

138
00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:06,799
and three other mates, all in their late teens, were

139
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,000
heading off for a night on the town in Kolak

140
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,919
in a battered sedan. It was already after dark, so

141
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,799
they were making a good pace along the gravel road

142
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,320
through the state forest so as not to waste too

143
00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:26,639
much beer drinking time prior yeah descending a steep hill.

144
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,399
It was necessary to break and gear down before ascending

145
00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:32,200
the coming hill, and as they got to the bottom

146
00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:35,960
of the gully, an enormous man shaped animal started to

147
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,159
cross in front of them, but stopped and retreated. My informant,

148
00:09:40,159 --> 00:09:43,200
who was a passenger in the left front seat, and

149
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:45,799
the two lads in the back seat all saw the

150
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,679
animal and were in shock for a few seconds, but

151
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,960
not the driver. The passengers all panicked and begged the

152
00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:55,279
driver to get moving. The driver thought at first they

153
00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:58,600
were just joshing around, but soon got the message and

154
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,279
none of the boys wanted to talk about it, and

155
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,159
I could get my informant to discuss it only once.

156
00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:07,679
They had never heard any talk about such animals in

157
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,519
their district before or since. The animals was described as

158
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,000
much taller than a man, maybe two point two meters tall,

159
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,799
which is approximately seven feet, and very broad, with arms

160
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,879
proportionally much longer than human arms, but legs compare compared

161
00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:28,360
to torso roughly the same as a human. No real neck,

162
00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:32,799
and the head not explicitly exceptionally large. The face was

163
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,759
not seen, but hair covered the whole body and was

164
00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:38,159
very long. The hair on the arms was described as

165
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:43,360
hanging and was very evident in the headlights. He could

166
00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:46,639
not not truly discern color, but it may have been gray.

167
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,159
My informant said. It retreated very quickly. He felt it

168
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,080
had tried to beat the car but misjudge their speed,

169
00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:59,679
and he has avoided the spot ever since. So very wild.

170
00:10:59,799 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 5: Huh oh yeah, especially yeah, especially with the because I

171
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,440
usually hear and correct me if I'm wrong, but I

172
00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:12,200
usually hear that their their hair is shorter, not so

173
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,399
much like tassly, you know, like tassels. And that's the

174
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:17,679
image I got when you were reading about the hair

175
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,519
on its arms, right, it hung down, so it reminded

176
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,759
me of tassels. I don't remember hearing I suppose it's

177
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,840
it's possible, but just an interesting point.

178
00:11:29,759 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 4: Right, And that well, it does actually line up to

179
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,000
a lot of bigfoot reports that their arm on their hair,

180
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,240
the hair on their arms rather, is supposedly much longer

181
00:11:38,279 --> 00:11:40,360
than the hair on the rest of their bodies like

182
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,639
that for some reason. That's a real drapy hair.

183
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 5: But what that's like for gilly purposes.

184
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,399
Speaker 4: You know? Right? Yeah, I don't know. It's just it's

185
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,399
really amazing. And that's that's very true. And it's a

186
00:11:51,399 --> 00:11:54,440
point we've made many times, is that it's no wonder

187
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,519
these things aren't seen when they don't choose to be,

188
00:11:56,519 --> 00:11:59,840
because they are sporting a gilly suit all the time,

189
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,320
so they're not going to stick out unless they want to.

190
00:12:04,879 --> 00:12:07,639
But you think about that, and and now I believe

191
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,440
they're intelligent. And here's where the big question mark is, right,

192
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,799
So they are capable of what we consider human like thought.

193
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,159
So why didn't it just stay ducked down until this

194
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:21,639
car went past? At what point did it need to

195
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,399
get across the street right before that car? But then

196
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,159
decided nope and then went back. You know what I mean.

197
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,759
It's one of those weird choices that I don't really understand.

198
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,879
It's like it wanted to be seen or something.

199
00:12:32,919 --> 00:12:37,799
Speaker 5: You know, yeah, you know, it's it's sometimes you know,

200
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,919
I wonder sometimes if some of them do want to

201
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,279
be seen though, you know that, you know, they maybe

202
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,360
maybe they're looking for I don't know, some kind of

203
00:12:47,399 --> 00:12:52,799
companionship or more a new experience. I mean they are intelligent.

204
00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:55,039
I mean they I suppose they look for fun things

205
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,720
to do all the time. I mean, if they watch us,

206
00:12:57,759 --> 00:13:01,240
like I understand they do, you know, their reality TV.

207
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,440
You know, they need some kind of entertainment.

208
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 4: I suppose you can only watch sticks for so long

209
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,559
and then you need something more stimulating.

210
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 5: Rock stacking only goes so high.

211
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:19,639
Speaker 4: It's like that's like Squatch Jenga. The rocks fell again.

212
00:13:21,919 --> 00:13:24,120
We do something new exactly.

213
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:28,919
Speaker 5: I saw those hairless things over there, those naked things, So.

214
00:13:29,039 --> 00:13:30,879
Speaker 4: The naked apes over there by the park, let's go

215
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:31,440
check it out.

216
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:32,879
Speaker 5: There's some rocks.

217
00:13:34,879 --> 00:13:37,159
Speaker 4: I know it's so crazy, but I think you're right.

218
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,879
I think they do look at us as you know,

219
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:43,039
at least interesting and entertaining to watch, because I think

220
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,840
their worlds are pretty mundane for the most part.

221
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 5: Well, you know, you can only play hide and Seek

222
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,799
for sol and we know they are the champions.

223
00:13:53,919 --> 00:13:55,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's I can see Binky in the brain. What

224
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,039
do you want to do today? How about we play

225
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:04,480
Hide and Seek again? Oh again? Yeah? Exactly interesting stories though.

226
00:14:04,519 --> 00:14:07,279
I think that's pretty cool, and I think it's it's

227
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,679
it's fun to, you know, think that they're everywhere, like

228
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,879
we're not the only ones having to deal with this

229
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,720
or you know, whether that's a good or bad thing,

230
00:14:14,759 --> 00:14:18,080
I don't know. I mean, I think about the whole

231
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,399
idea of what happens if when they get discovered. You know,

232
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:25,559
there's probably going to be a lot of bored people

233
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,960
around because there won't be any need to go out

234
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,600
and look for prints and stuff anymore because we'll just

235
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,279
know that they're there. You know. It's like nobody goes

236
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:36,720
out looking for deer prints unless they're looking to hunt.

237
00:14:36,759 --> 00:14:39,240
And I don't think if these things are discovered, I

238
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:41,759
don't imagine there'll be a season for them, since they're

239
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:45,399
so human like. But you know, I mean, there'll be

240
00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:47,200
a lot of people needing a new hobby. I think.

241
00:14:49,159 --> 00:14:50,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

242
00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:52,399
Speaker 4: I don't know where that thought came from. It was

243
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,200
kind of random, but that's how I roll. All right,

244
00:14:57,279 --> 00:15:00,720
So now we're going to move over to Arkansas. I

245
00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:02,960
got one here from Arkansas. I thought was it's not

246
00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:07,399
extraordinarily long, but I think all of these are really interesting.

247
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:18,159
And it says Hello starts out with Hello don oftentimes

248
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,879
a good opening for any kind of letter. So I

249
00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:23,720
saw a big foot in Sharp County on one rainy

250
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,080
night coming home while driving my truck. I've never believed

251
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,320
in all of this until I saw it that one night.

252
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:36,120
Now I know they do exist. The sasquatch was covered

253
00:15:36,159 --> 00:15:39,320
with black hair all over its body. It ran across

254
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,639
the county road, squatted down, and when I got close

255
00:15:42,679 --> 00:15:45,600
to it, it made eye contact with me and then

256
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:52,559
jumped up and ran beside my truck. Wow, jeez, that's

257
00:15:52,679 --> 00:15:55,159
gonna be a little disconcerting.

258
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 5: Just a bit.

259
00:15:58,039 --> 00:15:59,919
Speaker 4: That's a code brown rite in the cockpit.

260
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 5: Ha.

261
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 4: What's that terrible smell? Is that this guncape? Nope? Oh,

262
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,480
so he said. I was concerned it would jump in

263
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,039
my truck bed, but it didn't. Instead, it turned and

264
00:16:16,159 --> 00:16:20,080
veered off and left the roadside. I know what I saw,

265
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,840
and I never believed the reports till this happened to

266
00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:26,279
my daughter and me that rainy night. I lived in

267
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,440
the country and the road where this happened was on

268
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,840
my way home. I've taken that road many times, but

269
00:16:32,919 --> 00:16:36,679
that night it was different. For sure. I seen it

270
00:16:36,759 --> 00:16:39,159
and was not going to say anything. But then my

271
00:16:39,279 --> 00:16:43,559
daughter said, Mom, did you see that? And I said, yeah,

272
00:16:43,639 --> 00:16:46,360
I did, but I wasn't going to say anything. And

273
00:16:46,399 --> 00:16:49,240
nobody wants to believe us, but I know what we saw.

274
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,799
The bigfoot was short, not tall. He was bowlegged, but

275
00:16:53,919 --> 00:16:56,840
he did make eye contact with me as if he

276
00:16:56,919 --> 00:17:01,919
knew who I was and knew my truck. I wasn't scared,

277
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,279
and I know that things come around my place after dark.

278
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,000
Never did see anything of them, though, except bear and

279
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,759
possum and armadillos when I stepped out the door. But

280
00:17:13,759 --> 00:17:16,200
we know what we saw. This was in the year

281
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,880
two thousand. People think you're crazy, but we saw what

282
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,599
we saw. It was nine pm at night and we

283
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:25,519
were bringing pizza home after we made a pizza run.

284
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:28,240
And my daughter was only fifteen years old at the time.

285
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,920
She don't like to talk about it much. It seemed

286
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,839
to bother her more and she would not stay out there.

287
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,279
But I stayed out there in the country after that.

288
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,119
For years this happened in the country, down a country

289
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,920
road in between Hardy and raven Den, Arkansas. And it

290
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,759
happened only once one night. Wow, oh yeah, so what

291
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,079
a weird behavior. So that not only like you know,

292
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,880
it wasn't just hey, I want to cross the road.

293
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,079
Well I can't make it. This guy's like the race

294
00:18:01,519 --> 00:18:02,000
or something.

295
00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 5: Well yeah, and and and I got the feeling that

296
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,519
that he knew they were out there because because they

297
00:18:09,519 --> 00:18:11,039
had been around his place before.

298
00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly, So it probably was waiting for them

299
00:18:14,759 --> 00:18:21,359
to come back just to do that. Well, okay, that's

300
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,440
just so I don't know, you gotta wonder, what's what's

301
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,440
the point is that, you know, I know when Bear

302
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:30,240
was on, he talked about how the juveniles may like

303
00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:33,279
to count coop, like they like to do things to

304
00:18:33,319 --> 00:18:36,720
get points with the others, you know, like, oh, you know,

305
00:18:36,759 --> 00:18:40,720
it's a like a contest of deer. We dare you

306
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:42,880
to run next to that truck? You know, Oh I

307
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,799
did it? Okay, you get you know, five squirrels in

308
00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:48,279
a in a badger tale or something. You know, I

309
00:18:48,319 --> 00:18:51,640
don't know what they win, but you know what I mean.

310
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, yeah, you know you know, it wouldn't surprise

311
00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:57,799
me though, because you know, there, you know, we talked

312
00:18:57,799 --> 00:19:01,440
to Cindy Good. Was it Cindy or was it maybe

313
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,680
it was she Deal, I can't remember. We were talking

314
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,079
to somebody and they were she They mentioned and I

315
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,480
know it was one of our female friends U And

316
00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:14,039
they mentioned that that the juveniles like to pretend to

317
00:19:14,079 --> 00:19:18,599
be Dad, so you know, to gain you know, you know,

318
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,279
street cred. You know, I can imagine them doing like

319
00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:25,319
you know, counting crew coup and and and you know,

320
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:29,200
you know, having these contests to see who can do better,

321
00:19:29,319 --> 00:19:31,799
you know, or more like Dad. You know, So I

322
00:19:31,839 --> 00:19:34,799
can definitely see that kind of thing going on right right.

323
00:19:35,039 --> 00:19:38,519
Speaker 4: You know, I'm sure it makes sense that. I mean,

324
00:19:38,559 --> 00:19:41,400
they obviously knew the truck was there, So if they

325
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,079
are so motivated to never be seen, why would they

326
00:19:44,079 --> 00:19:46,680
be seen? And why would it run right alongside a truck,

327
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,799
you know, all the things, and then make eye contact too,

328
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,160
like not only you know, just it was totally in

329
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:54,759
your face.

330
00:19:55,319 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 5: It's like waving as you pass somebody, you know, like, hey, I.

331
00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:02,799
Speaker 4: Do I know it's this forest gumping down the road

332
00:20:02,839 --> 00:20:10,160
there exactly. I don't know very strange behavior. But you know,

333
00:20:10,839 --> 00:20:12,799
it does make sense. That whole counting coup thing is

334
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:15,319
about the only thing that makes sense. So my hat's

335
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,559
off to bear for coming up with that, because I

336
00:20:17,559 --> 00:20:20,119
think he's right. That's I mean, that's not a mistake.

337
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,240
That was very intentional, and if they are intelligent, that's

338
00:20:24,279 --> 00:20:27,640
about the only reason they would do it is Hey, hey, Oogla,

339
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,359
I'll bet you won't run next to the truck. So

340
00:20:31,839 --> 00:20:33,640
I don't know, Oogla. That just came to me. It

341
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,079
might be one of their names. I was going full

342
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,039
caveman on that naming convention, So.

343
00:20:39,599 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 5: I don't you know, we've heard weirder names.

344
00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 4: Yes we have, all right, So let's find another one here.

345
00:20:49,599 --> 00:20:51,519
Where are we at, all right? So this one is

346
00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:55,839
also Arkansas. This one comes from the year nineteen ninety,

347
00:20:56,079 --> 00:20:59,880
the year of our Lord, nineteen ninety. And this is

348
00:21:01,599 --> 00:21:07,000
on Wichitan National Forest Road number one fourteen. Okay, I

349
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:09,359
gotta get this one has all kinds of detail stuff

350
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,079
at the top end, so details of the encounter. The

351
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,920
witness called at about eleven PM to restore power to

352
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,599
a data transmission tower which was located on top of

353
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,559
Fairchild Mountain in the Wichita National Forest. He drove alone

354
00:21:23,559 --> 00:21:26,799
to the area on a small repair service bucket truck.

355
00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:30,559
He stopped at the Lake Wanona Operations area at the

356
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:38,160
dam at the location of the on pole breakers for

357
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,680
the three face tower line to the tower. He found

358
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,720
that the breaker for one leg of the power was

359
00:21:43,799 --> 00:21:48,119
thrown and would immediately trip when it was engaged. He

360
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,839
then began to drive the road alongside the power lines

361
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,680
to see if he could find the problem. The power

362
00:21:53,720 --> 00:22:00,440
line runs immediately alongside NFR number one fourteen on part

363
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,480
of its route to the tower, which is about six

364
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:06,000
miles by road from the dam. Part of the power

365
00:22:06,039 --> 00:22:10,039
line is situated out of sight of the road, and

366
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:13,480
the line at times crosses the road. After driving and

367
00:22:13,519 --> 00:22:15,640
looking for an hour or so, he decided he needed

368
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,759
a call for additional help in finding and repairing the

369
00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:23,200
problem quickly. At the time, the tower was reportedly used

370
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,920
to transmit high priority information for a federal agency, and

371
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,640
the tower was reportedly operated by AT and T. The

372
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,279
tower is no longer used for that purpose, according to

373
00:22:34,319 --> 00:22:39,440
the lineman. Uh huh, so next I got a scroll here.

374
00:22:40,039 --> 00:22:42,480
He continued to inspect the lines, which he could see

375
00:22:42,519 --> 00:22:45,480
with a spotlight from the road, and after he arranged

376
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,519
for another lineman and his helper to bring their bucket

377
00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:51,599
truck to assist him. After a while, he noticed a

378
00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:55,000
broken insulator on one of the poles alongside the south

379
00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:58,279
side of the road. He pulled past the pole several

380
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,240
yards and called the other lan by radio to tell

381
00:23:01,279 --> 00:23:04,920
them what he had found and the location of the damage.

382
00:23:05,079 --> 00:23:06,920
The other crew told him that they were close and

383
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,319
decided to wait for them. The other truck arrived a

384
00:23:10,319 --> 00:23:12,759
few minutes later, and it was backed off the road

385
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,359
so the pole could be accessed by the bucket on

386
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,680
that truck. The helper got into the bucket and began

387
00:23:18,759 --> 00:23:24,119
to process of replacing the broken insulator. During that time,

388
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,640
the two linemen were leaning across the passenger side of

389
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,359
the hood of the truck that was being used by

390
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,079
the helper, and they were facing the rear of the truck,

391
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:35,000
which was parked on the opposite side of the road.

392
00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:38,319
The road in front of the idling truck was fully

393
00:23:38,319 --> 00:23:42,200
illuminated by the headlights that were left on. The first

394
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,359
lineman was talking and looking up at the brightly lit

395
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:50,480
road with when the road when it says, looking up

396
00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:54,839
the brightly lit road when road when it says it twice,

397
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,680
when suddenly he saw a large, hair covered manlike creature

398
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,759
walking slowly off the slope on the north side of

399
00:24:01,799 --> 00:24:04,839
the road. The man was so stunned he was unable

400
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,400
to speak for a few seconds. The creature slowly walked

401
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,759
across the road ditch and onto the shoulder of the road.

402
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,279
The lineman then excitedly asked the other if he saw

403
00:24:15,319 --> 00:24:18,759
the animal. The other said he was watching it. The

404
00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:21,519
animal turned away from the men and slowly walked west

405
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,559
on the road until it passed over the crest of

406
00:24:24,599 --> 00:24:28,319
a ridge and was out of sight. The animal never

407
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,119
looked toward the men or the noisy vehicles, and seemed

408
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:37,119
completely unconcerned about their presence. They described it as over

409
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,920
seven feet tall, covered in dark hair, long legs and arms.

410
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,240
It walked with a peculiar gait and stride noticeably different

411
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,200
from that of a person. The witness did not see

412
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,799
the animal's face and did not see any breasts to

413
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,839
indicate it was a female. He saw no genitalia, and

414
00:24:57,319 --> 00:25:00,759
the witness stated he could not remember some the details

415
00:25:01,559 --> 00:25:04,680
of the animal's appearance because of at the time that

416
00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:08,039
had passed since the sighting. He said that for several

417
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,000
years he could visualize more in detail what he had

418
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,880
seen and had told many people about the encounter, and

419
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,079
described the animal's appearance. The second lineman was asked by

420
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,559
the first what kind of animal the two had just seen.

421
00:25:21,319 --> 00:25:24,640
The second lineman reportedly said, I don't know, and I

422
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:29,160
don't want to know. Oh boy, so that's got to

423
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,839
be a little intense, don't you think.

424
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 5: Yeah? Absolutely, wow.

425
00:25:33,519 --> 00:25:37,559
Speaker 4: So they're out there just doing their job and out

426
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:38,799
just walks the squatch.

427
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 5: Now it was dark out then, right, because they said

428
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,200
the headlights were illuminating it, right.

429
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, the headlights were going down the road and

430
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,759
illuminating the road, and it obviously walked right, and I

431
00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:52,480
mean it could have avoided that, right right, right.

432
00:25:52,799 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

433
00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:54,839
Speaker 5: That's one of those cases where he wants to be

434
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,400
seen it. I mean, they understand what light does? I mean,

435
00:25:58,519 --> 00:26:00,480
I don't think it. I don't think they make a

436
00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:04,480
difference between sunlight and headlights. No lights, They don't want

437
00:26:04,519 --> 00:26:06,039
to be seen if they don't want to be seen

438
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,960
right now.

439
00:26:08,039 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 4: The interesting thing is also that a lot of researchers

440
00:26:10,799 --> 00:26:15,640
claim that flashlights piss them off, Like the worst thing

441
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,559
you can do if you don't want to agitate them,

442
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,920
is don't shine your flashlight at them directly, because apparently

443
00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:25,279
they get really pissy about that. And I suppose if

444
00:26:25,319 --> 00:26:27,480
they're you know, if their eyes are adjusted to the

445
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,240
darkness and then you get a mag light in the face,

446
00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:32,640
it's going to screw that up for a while, you know.

447
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,480
But yeah, I guess they really get aggressive or throw

448
00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:39,880
a fit when people put their flashlights in their face.

449
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,039
Speaker 5: So well, the interesting that's one of those times when

450
00:26:43,039 --> 00:26:44,839
they don't want to be seen, so when you do

451
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,039
get your flashlight on them, they kind of freak out.

452
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,039
Speaker 4: You're right, But this one obviously just was like screw it,

453
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,920
I don't care, and just a normal walk and then

454
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,759
not only walk it walked through the prairie or whatever,

455
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,720
up the ditch onto the road and then just walk

456
00:27:01,759 --> 00:27:06,359
down the road like you owned it, you know, I did. Well,

457
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,319
yeah he did at that moment for sure.

458
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 5: At the beast oh my goodness, you know. But that's

459
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,400
the difference between you know, the flashlight thing and not

460
00:27:15,559 --> 00:27:18,519
wanting to be seen and this one, you know, not

461
00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:21,200
caring that it's seen, you know. So I think that's

462
00:27:21,319 --> 00:27:25,440
the that may make a difference in the flashlight idea,

463
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,759
because maybe they're hiding and they don't want you to

464
00:27:27,799 --> 00:27:30,319
see him. But if you whip out a flashlight, Oh,

465
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:32,920
temperature has changed.

466
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 4: Now amen, Well, I tell you what. There's a good

467
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,720
time to take a break. So how about we do

468
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,039
just that. All right, we'll be right back, ladies and gentlemen,

469
00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:46,960
more of these stories of encountering the king of the forest,

470
00:27:47,119 --> 00:28:29,599
the Sasquatch. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're back at

471
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,440
it here. I am joined by my good friend Don

472
00:28:32,599 --> 00:28:36,480
long Beard, still here, still putting up with me after

473
00:28:36,519 --> 00:28:39,400
all this time. So we're on a roll, ladies and gentlemen.

474
00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:46,920
It's a bromance, it definitely is, but you know it's

475
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,680
the Beard that's what does it. So tonight we're talking

476
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:56,799
about encounters with the Sasquatch and it's pretty amazing and

477
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,640
Don and I are seeing a real curious read emerging

478
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,680
through the stories tonight, and ladies and gentlemen, this wasn't planned.

479
00:29:04,759 --> 00:29:07,880
Usually a lot of the encounter stories are are people

480
00:29:08,039 --> 00:29:10,640
in the woods, happened to happen on them, but the

481
00:29:10,759 --> 00:29:13,559
circumstances that people are reporting seeing them tonight in the

482
00:29:13,599 --> 00:29:16,640
stories that we picked out for the show. You know,

483
00:29:17,799 --> 00:29:20,519
like literally this wasn't planned, but every one of them,

484
00:29:20,799 --> 00:29:23,920
it seems like it's a conscious choice that these bigfoot

485
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,519
are going out of their way to be seen. And

486
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,640
in all of the scenarios so far, they've had plenty

487
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,279
of opportunity to avoid human contact if they chose, but

488
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,720
they've made choices that put them right in the face

489
00:29:36,279 --> 00:29:39,519
of people, and you got to wonder, what the what

490
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,480
the logic there is. It's pretty incredible.

491
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 5: Idun Yeah, it's crazy because you know it, they're they're

492
00:29:47,759 --> 00:29:51,079
just sticking their foot out there and saying, hey, check

493
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,680
this out. Nobody's gonna believe you.

494
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess what. I'm here now and I own this.

495
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,799
It's it's pretty intense. But you know, I I think

496
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,880
that they, like we've like we've discussed, they want to

497
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,720
be seen. It seems like they really at times just

498
00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:11,079
want to be noticed, and maybe I don't know what

499
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,079
for what reason. I guess I'm still pondering that. For

500
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,039
the for the younger ones, that makes sense that they're

501
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,720
you know, they're maybe counting coup as we discussed before,

502
00:30:19,799 --> 00:30:23,880
But that last story really dealt with what I consider

503
00:30:24,519 --> 00:30:28,319
or assume is a full grown adult and still pull

504
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,240
in that same you know act, I don't know. It's

505
00:30:31,359 --> 00:30:34,319
very strange for an animal that has chosen our absence

506
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,119
or a being I should say that's chosen our absence.

507
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,759
They are going out of their way once in a

508
00:30:39,759 --> 00:30:43,799
while to be present. So we're going to continue on

509
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,480
our stories here. I got another one. Arkansas came up

510
00:30:47,519 --> 00:30:50,160
a bunch tonight. So let's see what this one is.

511
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,720
This is dealing with. It's kind of written oddly, so

512
00:30:55,759 --> 00:31:00,519
I'm gonna have to kind of assemble it. So though

513
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,880
the witnesses, a twenty five year old person, spent a

514
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,440
lot of time in the woods hunting and fishing, and

515
00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:10,200
he stated he often camped alone, except he bring his

516
00:31:10,319 --> 00:31:15,759
dog in the surrounding woods. So the incident is as described.

517
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,400
As he neared the intersection of a trail he's out

518
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,680
in the woods that led to a pine thicket which

519
00:31:21,759 --> 00:31:25,279
contained a large brier patch about thirty yards off the road,

520
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,640
he saw a pine tree being shaken vigorously. What was

521
00:31:29,759 --> 00:31:34,200
surprising was to see the tree moving, and he walked

522
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,599
down the trail towards it to see what was causing

523
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,200
all that movement. As he got within about fifteen feet

524
00:31:40,279 --> 00:31:42,640
of the tree. He could see that it was about

525
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,759
thirty feet tall and about six inches in diameter. Through

526
00:31:46,839 --> 00:31:50,359
the brier thicket, he could see something standing behind the

527
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:54,599
tree and could hear a low, grunting and moaning sound.

528
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,079
He slowly moved sideways around the thicket until he could

529
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,839
see the tree more clearly, and he then saw that

530
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,240
a large, hair covered animal was standing on two feet,

531
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:10,319
rubbing its back against the pine tree. Because the thicket

532
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,680
blocked part of the view of the animal, he could

533
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,480
only see the back part of his left shoulder and

534
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,440
a part of its back on that side. The animal

535
00:32:19,599 --> 00:32:22,799
was squirming and rubbing the tree along its spine, and

536
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:28,000
was grunting and moaning contentedly as it did so. The

537
00:32:28,079 --> 00:32:32,799
animal was apparently unaware of the boy's presence. Although the

538
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,319
boy spent a lot of time in the woods, he

539
00:32:34,359 --> 00:32:38,680
could not understand what he was seeing. Although he'd never

540
00:32:38,759 --> 00:32:43,200
seen a bear, he decided that was what he was watching.

541
00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:46,680
He watched for about fifteen seconds and started backing out

542
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,079
of the pine thicket to the road, and then ran

543
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,599
home to tell the family about that he had seen

544
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,519
a large brown bear, and they didn't believe him. So

545
00:32:56,759 --> 00:32:58,920
I guess is Arkansas, so brown bears would be a

546
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,720
little more rare, although you know there are black bears

547
00:33:01,759 --> 00:33:05,599
that can be cinnamon colored. But what he described is

548
00:33:05,799 --> 00:33:07,759
When asked the height of the animal, the witness pointed

549
00:33:07,799 --> 00:33:10,599
out a nearby bird house mounted on a post and

550
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,440
said it was about that same height as the top

551
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,039
of the bird house. The top of the bird house

552
00:33:16,119 --> 00:33:19,079
is seven and one half feet off the ground. He

553
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,640
stated the animal had long hair that was brown but

554
00:33:21,759 --> 00:33:25,119
streaked with lighter colors. He said the hair was somewhat

555
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,079
matted and dirty looking, and he never he saw neither

556
00:33:29,119 --> 00:33:32,359
the face nor the hands, and only a small part

557
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,759
of the hair on the left side of the animal's head.

558
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,039
He said that when he was about nine years old,

559
00:33:38,079 --> 00:33:40,720
he first heard a sound of what appeared to be

560
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:45,319
a woman screaming in great distress in the woods near

561
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,039
his home. It was daylight and he was alone outside.

562
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,720
He said the sound was so loud and pitiful that

563
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,400
it distressed him to the point where he began crying

564
00:33:56,039 --> 00:33:59,559
and began running towards the sound in the woods. When

565
00:33:59,599 --> 00:34:02,960
the sound stopped, he continued to cry, but began to

566
00:34:03,039 --> 00:34:05,119
shout for the woman to shout back so he would

567
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,719
know where she was so he could help her. He

568
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,280
got no immediate response, so he continued slowly walking and

569
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,880
looking fully expecting to see an injured woman. After a

570
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,599
few yards, he stopped to listen, and then he heard

571
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:22,159
the same sound coming from two different directions off at

572
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:25,079
a great distance, and he heard the sound repeated.

573
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:26,079
Speaker 5: Oh.

574
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 4: He was confused about what was going on, and after

575
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,880
a while he slowly walked back to the yard. When

576
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,800
he mentioned the sounds to adults, they said that he

577
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,599
had heard panthers and there had always been some of

578
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:41,679
the area because a nearby creek was named for them.

579
00:34:42,519 --> 00:34:45,840
He never believed them because the sounds were so human like.

580
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,280
Over the next few years, he heard the sound three

581
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,679
more times, but they were heard at night. He stated

582
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,559
it always distressed him greatly to hear these sounds, but

583
00:34:57,679 --> 00:35:01,559
he never knew their origin. Six years ago, he was

584
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:04,039
camping one night in the woods above the upper end

585
00:35:04,079 --> 00:35:07,000
of Lake NoREL when during the middle of the night,

586
00:35:07,079 --> 00:35:10,639
he heard loud animal sounds that he couldn't identify. A

587
00:35:10,679 --> 00:35:13,320
few minutes later, he heard the sounds of large rocks

588
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,519
being banged together on the hills above the lake. He

589
00:35:17,639 --> 00:35:20,320
stated that at no time during his time in the woods,

590
00:35:21,079 --> 00:35:24,199
did he ever feel threatened, but that the strange sounds

591
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,800
he heard when he was in the woods were so

592
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,880
common that they seemed normal.

593
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:36,679
Speaker 5: That's pretty crazy, right, yeah, you know, yeah, and we

594
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,280
taught we taught we hear about you know, them imitating

595
00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:44,880
or sounding like certain things, like they can imitate owls

596
00:35:45,039 --> 00:35:49,679
or coyotes and how different howls of whatnot. You know,

597
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,760
But what sounds like a human woman?

598
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 4: Right?

599
00:35:52,519 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 5: That scary that would be.

600
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,159
Speaker 4: But you know, I've heard that claim before of people

601
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,320
hearing that strange like woman screaming, and it sounds like

602
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,760
what I've heard it described as a woman screaming bloody murderers.

603
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,679
How I've always heard it like it's just this terrible,

604
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,880
heart wrenching kind of scream. But you know, I don't

605
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,679
know if that's a female sasquatch that does that or what,

606
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,360
but that is absolutely terrifying. I Mean, you'd think of

607
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,400
things like, well, is it a banshee, is it a

608
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,280
you know, some whaling ghost. And I think that's where

609
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,760
a lot of those you know, the whailing woman in

610
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:31,360
the forest legends come from. It's probably from these things

611
00:36:31,559 --> 00:36:33,519
just out there, you know, making a racket.

612
00:36:34,039 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 5: That's crazy.

613
00:36:35,199 --> 00:36:38,039
Speaker 4: Right, Well, I'm glad I've not heard that sound. That's

614
00:36:38,199 --> 00:36:41,480
got to be heart wrenching. Wow, very cool, though.

615
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 5: I have to say, you know it's they, you know

616
00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:48,119
they He pointed out the birdhouse, you know that were

617
00:36:48,199 --> 00:36:50,559
on the post, and it was seven and a half foot. Yeah,

618
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,599
but if they're a brown bear, which are commonly called grizzly,

619
00:36:56,119 --> 00:36:58,639
Grizzly bears are huge, and if if it was a

620
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,119
grizzly bear, seven and a half foot is medium size

621
00:37:02,159 --> 00:37:02,519
for them.

622
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,159
Speaker 4: Right. Well, this is from Arkansas, though, so that would

623
00:37:06,199 --> 00:37:12,039
be very very rare to have a grizzly in Arkansas. Yeah,

624
00:37:12,159 --> 00:37:13,960
you know, I mean, I'm sure back in the you know,

625
00:37:14,039 --> 00:37:17,119
in the days when when people were first settling, then

626
00:37:17,199 --> 00:37:20,280
they were pretty common everywhere. But they've been pretty much

627
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,679
pushed back in their range up into Canada, and our

628
00:37:23,119 --> 00:37:26,880
area of course has some grizzly as well, but very

629
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,599
north and over there. I don't think there's any up

630
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,440
until you get into Canada on the east, right.

631
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,039
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, you're right, yep, So it would be be

632
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:38,119
not that it.

633
00:37:38,079 --> 00:37:41,159
Speaker 4: Would be impossible, but it would be just about as

634
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:46,320
likely to see a sasquatch as a grizzly aspose, so,

635
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,760
but very that's a good point. I mean it could

636
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,800
be a bear, but seven and a half feet would

637
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,639
be very large for a black bear or that of

638
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,639
that type of bear, because generally they're about six feet

639
00:37:57,159 --> 00:38:00,559
and that's about as big as they get. Is that right?

640
00:38:00,679 --> 00:38:01,639
Has that what you've heard done?

641
00:38:02,559 --> 00:38:02,679
Speaker 2: Uh?

642
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

643
00:38:03,199 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 5: For for black bear? Yeah, they would, They wouldn't get

644
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,639
much more than six foot, Yeah, definitely not. I would

645
00:38:09,679 --> 00:38:13,360
say the one that ran across my yard that's right

646
00:38:13,559 --> 00:38:19,679
last year, probably waited about three hundred maybe three point fifty.

647
00:38:20,639 --> 00:38:23,320
If he stood up, he'd probably only be about well,

648
00:38:23,599 --> 00:38:25,599
probably be about five and a half feet, I guess

649
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,000
at the shoulders. Of course, then they got that big

650
00:38:28,119 --> 00:38:30,280
head on top, you know, so if you say that,

651
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,920
they'd be well into six foot. And that was probably

652
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,199
he was probably a little young, probably like four or five,

653
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,000
I suppose.

654
00:38:41,119 --> 00:38:46,159
Speaker 4: Okay, that's still a good size bear. Very weird that

655
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,360
it ran right out there when you guys were out there.

656
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,559
That's just so strange, like bear.

657
00:38:53,199 --> 00:38:55,519
Speaker 5: Chomping across it looks over like, hey, how you doing

658
00:38:55,679 --> 00:39:01,280
down the hill, like just just taking the jog.

659
00:39:01,679 --> 00:39:05,679
Speaker 4: You gotta wonder what what what's scared? What scared him

660
00:39:05,679 --> 00:39:07,239
out of the woods that he was willing to run

661
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:07,800
by a house?

662
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 5: Well, he he, he was over by our neighbor, you know,

663
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,239
and you know, on the on the other tent side

664
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,360
of the twenty acres I live on. Yeah, and he

665
00:39:17,519 --> 00:39:20,400
had wandered down in their yard and their dogs were

666
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,559
going off, and so he was yelling at it.

667
00:39:22,639 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 4: Hey get out of here, and oh gotcha.

668
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 5: Apparently it decided to come towards me because you know,

669
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,079
the other side of my property is the river. So

670
00:39:30,639 --> 00:39:33,360
sure he knew that, and he goes, oh, well, I

671
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:34,840
did expect to see them today.

672
00:39:37,079 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 4: Well, and thank god that all worked out.

673
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 5: Okay, but that's we were dressed for company. Oh well, anyhow,

674
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:46,800
all right.

675
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 4: Well let's continue. We got a couple more to go.

676
00:39:51,039 --> 00:39:53,800
I just did this one, so let me do this one. Now,

677
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,960
this one's going We're going all the way to eastern Arizona.

678
00:39:57,079 --> 00:40:01,079
Now don oh. Now, the heading of this is that

679
00:40:01,199 --> 00:40:05,679
the White Mounted Apache Nation goes public with bigfoot sightings.

680
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,880
So let me just take a look. Yeah, this isn't

681
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,320
too bad. I was just looking at the length of it.

682
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,400
So it says Tucson, Arizona, September two, two thousand and six.

683
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,960
Footprints in the mud, tufts of hair on a fence,

684
00:40:20,519 --> 00:40:24,199
ear piercing screeches in the night. These are only fragments

685
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,199
of the stories now coming from the White Mountain, the

686
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:32,199
White Mountains in eastern Arizona. For years, the Mountain Apache

687
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,880
Nation has kept the secret within tribal boundaries. We're not

688
00:40:37,079 --> 00:40:41,079
prone to easily talk to outsiders, said the spokesman spokeswoman

689
00:40:41,199 --> 00:40:45,239
rather Colette Altaha. But there have been more sightings than

690
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,039
ever before, and it can't be ignored any longer. It

691
00:40:49,159 --> 00:40:53,000
is a creature the world knows as Bigfoot. No one's

692
00:40:53,039 --> 00:40:55,960
had a negative encounter with it, said Marjorie Grimes, who

693
00:40:55,960 --> 00:41:00,519
lives in Whitewater, the primary town in the reservation. Grimes

694
00:41:00,599 --> 00:41:02,239
is one of many who claim to have seen the

695
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,800
creature over the last twenty five years. Her first sighting

696
00:41:06,199 --> 00:41:09,840
was in nineteen eighty two. Her most recent was in

697
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,840
the summer of two thousand and four, driving home from

698
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:21,000
town in Chibbeque or sibequ cib e Cue. She becomes

699
00:41:21,119 --> 00:41:25,000
more animated as the memory comes forth. It was all

700
00:41:25,119 --> 00:41:27,719
black and it was tall. The way it walked, it

701
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:32,039
was taking big strides I put on the brakes and

702
00:41:32,559 --> 00:41:35,480
raced back and looked between the two trees where it

703
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,880
was and it was gone. So it was just a

704
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,639
real quick sighting. So Grime's son Francis has a story.

705
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,559
Their neighbor, Cecil Hendrix, has a story. Even police officers

706
00:41:47,599 --> 00:41:51,679
have had strange encounters. Officer Catherine Montoya has seen it twice.

707
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,119
On a recent Monday night, dozens of people called into

708
00:41:56,119 --> 00:42:00,519
the tribe's radio station KNNB to talk about what seen,

709
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:06,480
and others came in person, and it says the newsroom

710
00:42:06,599 --> 00:42:10,800
was there, so was Tom Biscardi and crew from Searching

711
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,599
for Bigfoot Incorporated. The California based team has crisscrossed the

712
00:42:14,639 --> 00:42:20,119
country pursuing reports of the mythic animal. New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Texas,

713
00:42:20,199 --> 00:42:24,079
and Arizona have been hotspots this year. Biscardi said the

714
00:42:24,119 --> 00:42:28,599
Apache land is an untapped resource for investigators. There are

715
00:42:28,679 --> 00:42:31,519
way too many reports coming out of here of seeing

716
00:42:31,639 --> 00:42:36,519
this creature. My god, people better start listening and coming

717
00:42:37,519 --> 00:42:41,840
and coming to this thing, because it's happening. His ultimate

718
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,559
goal is to capture a Bigfoot creature, study it for

719
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,079
ninety days, and return it to the wild two nights

720
00:42:48,119 --> 00:42:51,159
in a row. Biscardi and crew strapped motion activated cameras

721
00:42:51,559 --> 00:42:54,360
with night vision lenses onto trees in the nearby woods.

722
00:42:55,039 --> 00:42:58,639
They set up listening devices and made noises, which he

723
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,199
claims lure the creature in a view. All their efforts

724
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:08,119
yield only one small result. No mystery beast, no mystery screams. Instead,

725
00:43:08,679 --> 00:43:12,320
there is relief. Colette Altaha said, the people on the

726
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,639
reservation are beginning to support the decision to go public

727
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,960
because of people doubting them before. They before they never

728
00:43:20,079 --> 00:43:23,159
came forward. But now with the help of Tom Biscardi

729
00:43:23,199 --> 00:43:26,199
and this team, they've come out here and our people

730
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,760
are beginning to open up. Indeed, the decision to let

731
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,360
the Three TV report this story was a controversial one

732
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,159
on the radio program, and apache caller said that tribal

733
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,559
elders were uncomfortable letting the legend be known. Still, al

734
00:43:40,639 --> 00:43:43,719
Taha believes it is the right thing to do. I've

735
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,920
heard stories from a while back about sightings and I'm

736
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,320
not easily persuaded. But with so many of the people

737
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,960
coming forward and telling us their stories, there might be

738
00:43:53,079 --> 00:43:57,360
something out there that actually exists. Tribal police Lieutenant Ray

739
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,159
Brunette or Burnett rather puts it in in terms of

740
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,679
public safety. A couple of times they've seen this creature

741
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:10,880
looking through the windows. They're scared when they calls. As

742
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,320
in all alleged sightings of a bigfoot creature, tangible evidence

743
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:18,280
is scarce. The Patterson film from nineteen sixty seven is

744
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,159
perhaps the most often seen video, and it shows a tall,

745
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,559
hairy figure striding through the woods of the Pacific Northwest

746
00:44:26,159 --> 00:44:29,719
and for nearly forty years, this film's authenticity has been debated,

747
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:34,000
but it has never been discredited. In the White Mountains,

748
00:44:34,079 --> 00:44:37,760
last year, investigators found footprints, several tufts of hair and

749
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,400
other material at the scene of a sighting. Tribal police

750
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,920
made plaster casts from the prints and sent hair and

751
00:44:45,039 --> 00:44:48,599
plant samples to the Department of Public Safety for analysis

752
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,760
in its state of the art crime lab. Test results

753
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,599
showed the hair was not human but not animal in origin. Wow,

754
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,880
that's cool. Further testing to determine what kind of animal

755
00:44:59,079 --> 00:45:01,639
was not done, so they know it wasn't animal. They

756
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:08,719
know it wasn't a human, so what's left? So it continues.

757
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,039
The Arizona Game and Fish Department does not investigate big

758
00:45:12,119 --> 00:45:15,800
bigfoot sightings, and neither does the state's Veterinarian's Office, a

759
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,840
division of the Arizona Department of Health and Services. Perhaps

760
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,280
the only organizations that will take such reports seriously are

761
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,760
bigfoot hunters such as Biscardi or the big Foot Field

762
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:31,960
Researchers Organization, which is better known as the BFRO. The

763
00:45:32,079 --> 00:45:35,320
field is not well organized and is often manned by

764
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,480
amateurs with little or no scientific background. Biscardi himself has

765
00:45:39,519 --> 00:45:42,280
come under fire in the Pass for promoting an alleged

766
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,639
find that later turned out to be a hoax. He

767
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,599
is more careful these days and promises a huge revelation

768
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,039
yet to come. It will be something even more fantastic

769
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,920
than the hunters of reports of the Apache bigfoot back

770
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,679
on the reservation. Lieutenant Burnett wants outsiders to realize that

771
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,119
the Apartment takes all these calls seriously, and so should you.

772
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,480
The calls were getting from people, They weren't hallucinating, they

773
00:46:07,519 --> 00:46:10,559
weren't drunks, and they weren't people that we know can

774
00:46:10,639 --> 00:46:15,079
make hoax calls. They're from real citizens of the Ford

775
00:46:15,079 --> 00:46:21,639
Apache Indian Reservation. Wow. So it's kind of cool that

776
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,880
they came forward as a you know, as a as

777
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,000
a nation and said, hey, this is what's going on here,

778
00:46:27,159 --> 00:46:31,000
because it is tough to get the elders to open

779
00:46:31,119 --> 00:46:32,079
up for that kind of stuff.

780
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they you know, they've been separated for so long,

781
00:46:36,039 --> 00:46:38,480
you know that. I mean, and look at the history,

782
00:46:38,559 --> 00:46:41,000
you know, I mean, it wouldn't surprise me. It doesn't

783
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,880
surprise me at all at the the secrecy behind it,

784
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:49,119
you know, because you know everything that's happened. So but

785
00:46:49,679 --> 00:46:51,239
what's that? When was that written?

786
00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 4: This is let me look up at the top here,

787
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:00,320
it says September second, two thousand and six, so quite

788
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,639
a few years ago, about thirteen years ago.

789
00:47:02,679 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 5: I guess maybe we should dive into that a little

790
00:47:05,039 --> 00:47:07,599
more and see if we can pull more stories out

791
00:47:07,639 --> 00:47:09,079
of that time from that area.

792
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it sounds like there's apparently a lot

793
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:16,639
going on. This is just from a news report, of course,

794
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:21,719
but it's a curious story. But I think it's encouraging,

795
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,920
you know. So I got one more on deck here,

796
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,039
and this should be about perfect for our times. So

797
00:47:31,119 --> 00:47:35,639
this is coming from Indiana, Putnam County, in a town

798
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:39,920
called Morton, and from August two thousand and seven. The

799
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,199
male witness is sitting on his porch at around ten

800
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,840
thirty pm when he heard something coming from his apple trees.

801
00:47:46,519 --> 00:47:49,280
As he listened, it sounded like kids climbing into the branches,

802
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,159
and he hollered and heard what sounded like. Whoever it

803
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,199
was must have jumped from the tree, landing on the

804
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:58,440
ground and walking off. Not thinking much about it, he

805
00:47:58,519 --> 00:48:00,639
went inside his home, and a little later, his dog

806
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:05,280
became really agitated and started growling and barking while looking

807
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:09,559
out the glass patio sliding door. The man was watching television.

808
00:48:09,639 --> 00:48:11,000
He got up to see what his dog was so

809
00:48:11,079 --> 00:48:14,719
angry about, and he too looked out the patio door.

810
00:48:15,559 --> 00:48:19,440
What he saw was quite remarkable. He saw the silhouette

811
00:48:19,519 --> 00:48:24,480
of a black, ape looking creature that had what he

812
00:48:24,639 --> 00:48:28,239
described as a head sitting on his shoulders with no neck.

813
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,280
It appeared to be seven or eight feet tall. It

814
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:35,280
stood motionless and stared the man down before it turned

815
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:39,519
around and melted into the darkness. The man who saw

816
00:48:39,559 --> 00:48:44,159
it later called law enforcements and they contacted me. There's

817
00:48:44,199 --> 00:48:46,599
one thing I didn't find out until I did a

818
00:48:46,639 --> 00:48:49,360
follow up interview. When the man heard his dog barking,

819
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,239
he walked outside and he saw the creature. It was

820
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,159
about thirty feet away. When he looked back towards the

821
00:48:55,199 --> 00:48:58,920
house and then looked back again, the creature charged. Oof.

822
00:49:00,119 --> 00:49:02,719
It was only about twenty feet away, and then it

823
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:07,079
took off. Oh, bluff charts. That's gotta be a scraper

824
00:49:07,199 --> 00:49:11,159
right there, for sure. He said he saw it again

825
00:49:11,199 --> 00:49:14,199
about three nights ago walking the field next to his house,

826
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,280
and it was moving very quickly. Several of the people

827
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,920
in the area have also seen it. And there's just

828
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,960
a short distance from my home as the crowflies, which

829
00:49:24,039 --> 00:49:27,239
is maybe three miles. And this fellow also informed me

830
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:31,519
that while he was sassafras hunting, he found what appeared

831
00:49:31,519 --> 00:49:33,760
to be a nesting area on the ground that was

832
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:38,079
several feet across that had been constructed out of branches, twigs,

833
00:49:38,639 --> 00:49:42,199
and other debris. In the nest was different clumps of

834
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,079
matted hair or fur, and when he took his brother

835
00:49:46,199 --> 00:49:48,599
to the area a few days later, the nest was

836
00:49:48,679 --> 00:49:53,119
completely destroyed and the hair and fur was gone. Have

837
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,719
you ever heard of anything like this before? Ah, that's

838
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,840
pretty now. This was submitted by a guy named Larry

839
00:50:00,199 --> 00:50:05,760
and then bat Larry Batson Wildlife Educational Services Incorporated. Wow,

840
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,559
that's pretty intense. They had an opportunity to grab some hair.

841
00:50:11,119 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 5: That's good. That's going to be interesting, right, very interesting.

842
00:50:15,119 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 4: Wow, that's the kind of stories though. I'm telling you,

843
00:50:19,519 --> 00:50:22,360
you know, the bluff charge for me would be absolutely

844
00:50:22,559 --> 00:50:28,079
my worst nightmare. I think you're looking at eight feet

845
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:32,480
of Harry Hulk and you know charges at you. What

846
00:50:32,519 --> 00:50:35,559
are you gonna do? Nothing? You're gonna sit there and

847
00:50:35,679 --> 00:50:38,920
drool and hope to god it's a bluff charge.

848
00:50:39,559 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, doubt, crazy, very crazy.

849
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 4: But I don't know, brother, I think that that's a show.

850
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:46,719
What do you think?

851
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 5: Oh?

852
00:50:47,559 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 1: Wow?

853
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 5: Really already I'm.

854
00:50:49,159 --> 00:50:51,320
Speaker 4: Telling you time flies when you're in the portal.

855
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,679
Speaker 5: That's true. That is true. Well, in that case, awesome.

856
00:50:56,559 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 4: Unless you had something that you wanted to share.

857
00:50:59,159 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 5: Well, I I found this one from Adams County, Idaho.

858
00:51:03,119 --> 00:51:05,320
But it's a pretty long one.

859
00:51:05,519 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 4: Oh okay, I take a few minutes, but we got

860
00:51:09,159 --> 00:51:10,840
you know, we got time. If you want to read

861
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:11,519
it for sure.

862
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:15,639
Speaker 5: Sure, Yeah. So this is from Adams County, Idaho, which

863
00:51:15,679 --> 00:51:18,599
is about two hundred and fifty miles kind of south

864
00:51:18,639 --> 00:51:23,119
of US, directly down our main highway. Says two thousand

865
00:51:23,159 --> 00:51:24,760
and nine was the third year that I had been

866
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,719
able to spend the whole season hunting in the mountains.

867
00:51:28,119 --> 00:51:30,960
I retired in October of two thousand and seven. I

868
00:51:31,079 --> 00:51:33,960
pulled my camp trailer to the up to the end

869
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,440
of September and set it up for thirty six days

870
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:40,400
of camping, hunting, and setting sitting around the fire, enjoying

871
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,000
the outdoors. I spent a lot of time camping and

872
00:51:43,079 --> 00:51:46,719
hunting by myself. Everyone else is still working and riding

873
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,119
my ATV on odd logging roads that are still open

874
00:51:50,159 --> 00:51:53,880
to four wheelers. At twelve twenty four am on the

875
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,280
seventh night, something woke me up. As I sat up

876
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,159
in bed a minute or so, in the rear end

877
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,000
of my camp trail trailers started rocking back and forth.

878
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,920
All the stabilizer jacks were down and the trailer was solid,

879
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,239
so whatever was pushing the trailer was very strong. A

880
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:13,559
fully loaded trailer weighs in at more than five thousand

881
00:52:13,639 --> 00:52:18,360
and fifty five five hundred pounds, and whatever was moving

882
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:23,039
it was not making any noise. While it rocked. My

883
00:52:23,199 --> 00:52:25,559
first thought was that it was a bear, a really

884
00:52:25,599 --> 00:52:29,840
big bear. That's a huge bear. I grabbed my shotgun,

885
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:31,760
put a shell in it, and sat there and waited

886
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,760
for a few seconds, the trailer continued to rock back

887
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,199
and forth. So I grabbed the airhorn that was sitting

888
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,599
on the table and gave it several blasts. That did

889
00:52:40,679 --> 00:52:42,440
not stop it. So I got the keys to my

890
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,519
truck and pushed the panic button setting.

891
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 4: On the horn.

892
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:49,639
Speaker 5: This stopped whatever it was and was quiet for five minutes.

893
00:52:50,119 --> 00:52:52,840
I sat there for I sat there with the shotgun

894
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,840
in my hands, listening for any sound. There was no sound,

895
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,840
just total quiet. I convinced myself that it was just

896
00:53:00,119 --> 00:53:03,000
bear when this god awful sound came from the ridge

897
00:53:03,079 --> 00:53:06,360
behind the trailer. It started off like a whistle, turning

898
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:10,599
into a horse whine, a horse whinny, and then going

899
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:14,199
into a very loud howl, and finishing off with a growl.

900
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,719
All of these sounds were running together with no pause

901
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,760
in between. It lasted for maybe fifteen to ten to

902
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:26,159
fifteen seconds, and then all went quiet. Damnedest sound I

903
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,719
ever heard scared the hell out of me. I got

904
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:30,760
dressed and sat there in the dark the rest of

905
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,000
the night, shot gun in hand. I've never had anything

906
00:53:34,079 --> 00:53:38,719
affect me like that before. After it was completely daylight,

907
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,400
I went out to look at the backside of the trailer.

908
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,159
And see if there were any tracks on the ground.

909
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,199
There were not any dents in the trailer or tracks

910
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,920
on the ground. There should have been tracks because the

911
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,400
ground was kind of soft and out of habit I

912
00:53:52,559 --> 00:53:57,039
rake all the pine leaves, pine needles, and forest duff

913
00:53:57,159 --> 00:54:03,320
away from the trailer, leaving just dirt and grass. I

914
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,519
need to mention here that a two hundred and forty

915
00:54:06,559 --> 00:54:08,679
pound friend of mine drove into camp while I was

916
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,800
still out checking for traps and looking for any damage

917
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,639
to my trailer. He wanted to know what I was doing,

918
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,280
so I told him the events of the last eight hours.

919
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,039
I also went back inside and had him push the

920
00:54:20,119 --> 00:54:22,199
trailer to see if he could rock it back and forth.

921
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,800
The best he could do was to give it a

922
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,760
jolt by throwing a shoulder into it. He couldn't make

923
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,119
it rock in smooth motion. That had occurred the night before.

924
00:54:32,199 --> 00:54:34,960
This particular event is what finally gave me the incentive

925
00:54:35,039 --> 00:54:38,079
to file a report, and largely because it's the first time,

926
00:54:38,119 --> 00:54:44,079
I cannot fix any logical, rational explanation to it that

927
00:54:44,119 --> 00:54:48,599
would allow me to forget it happened. So there's the

928
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:52,039
bulk of the story right there. So yeah, he's out

929
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:57,159
in Ada County hunting for you know, quite a few days.

930
00:54:58,199 --> 00:55:02,719
His trailers rocking back and forth, and the and the

931
00:55:03,679 --> 00:55:09,760
the howling, and the sound, the god awful sound, he says. Interesting.

932
00:55:10,199 --> 00:55:12,280
But then again, you know, like we just said, you know,

933
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,679
at the beginning of the show, you know, apparently we've

934
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:15,599
got them around here.

935
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 4: So yeah, there's no shortage of them anywhere, as it sounds,

936
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,440
and and it's you know, to me, it sounds like

937
00:55:22,679 --> 00:55:26,599
perhaps the populations are really growing of the ones that

938
00:55:26,679 --> 00:55:30,679
are out there, right, and it just just by virtue

939
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:34,000
of number of claimed sightings. Now, I know some people

940
00:55:34,599 --> 00:55:39,000
are not gonna be as accurate and maybe miss misrepresenting

941
00:55:40,039 --> 00:55:43,760
sasquatch with another more mundane animal, you know, just the

942
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,440
the adrenaline, of course, is it makes you get a

943
00:55:47,519 --> 00:55:50,280
wound up, and maybe you're not seeing things as clearly

944
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,679
as you think. So not every report is accurate. I

945
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,000
believe that most people make them in good faith. But

946
00:55:56,559 --> 00:55:59,960
I just think people are people, and sometimes people aren't

947
00:56:00,039 --> 00:56:04,719
as familiar with the woodland creatures as they think. But

948
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,639
if you know, if let's say fifty percent of the

949
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:11,559
reports coming in are all valid, then it would definitely

950
00:56:11,639 --> 00:56:15,639
seem to be a great uptick of activity for these things,

951
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,079
and which to me implies there are more of them

952
00:56:19,159 --> 00:56:22,840
now than there have been before. I don't know, it's

953
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:26,679
just speculation, of course, I have no grounds for that

954
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,039
other than just a gut feeling, but it seems like

955
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:33,519
there may be more of them around, and perhaps perhaps

956
00:56:33,599 --> 00:56:35,920
as they are are more of them around, they're becoming

957
00:56:36,559 --> 00:56:40,639
more acclimated to being around people because of course they

958
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,280
have to expand the range. You know, they must have

959
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:48,079
a huge caloric need for their diet. So I bet

960
00:56:48,159 --> 00:56:51,719
some of them are probably lingering around, or more of

961
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:56,039
them are probably lingering around civilization than ever before as well,

962
00:56:56,079 --> 00:56:59,000
which means they're going to be seen, right, you know.

963
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:05,119
But I agree, it's a crazy world, that is true.

964
00:57:07,039 --> 00:57:08,840
So I think that's going to wrap it up, though.

965
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 5: Brother, You're good, Yeah, I think we're good. Anything in closing, Nope,
