Speaker 4: You're listening to Paranormal Portal on Revolver podcasts.
Speaker 3: Oh oh, sprach me in love, lost control all that an.
Speaker 5: She's a.
Speaker 3: She's saw leadership, not as.
Speaker 5: You with the Lady Glance.
Speaker 4: She's a.
Speaker 6: She's all.
Speaker 4: All right, everybody, Welcome to the Paranormal Portal podcast. I'm
your host Brent Thomas, and I am joined by my
great friend and co host mister Don Longbeard here via Skype.
Speaker 5: That would be me as usual as usual.
Speaker 4: You're still you and thank you so much for being here. Brother.
Tonight we are going to do some Bigfoot encounter stories.
And I mean, there's so many of these out there,
and what always baffles my imagination, Don, is that they're
all over the place.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they're everywhere, right, that's that.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's a good thing or a
bad thing or what. And on the last show, last
Friday show, I talked about the adaptability of these things,
and you know, I mean, really, wherever you are, at
least in most places in the world, you could very
well have an encounter of your own.
Speaker 5: Yeah, isn't that that? It is? It is crazy. And
so the Gimlin Patterson Gimlin film that was down in California,
is that right?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Bluff Creek, right, Okay. And then of course you know
we've got supposedly the signings up in the Pacific Northwest,
you know, Washington, you know Upper Oregon, you know, somewhat
over here by where we are, North Idaho, right.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, there's plenty over into Montana. I mean
just in our neck of the woods. It's the entire
Pacific Northwest is blanketed. And then you go to Florida
you get the Skunk Cape, you go to you know, Ohio,
you got the grass Man, you got boggers all over
the south and over. So I mean they are everywhere.
They really are everywhere, and that's just in our in
our United States. Of course, we talked with our friend
Caid Moya of Believe podcast in Australia and they got
Yawi's you know. So I mean they're they're just everywhere.
So tonight we're going to talk about sometimes some of
the times and when people have come face to face
or at least close to these things and what they
had to say about it. So I think we're going
to dive in with that. You good to go, brother, Yeah,
let's do it all right. So the first one actually
in salute to our good friend Caid Moya in Australia.
I've got a couple of Australian encounters, all right. So
the narrative is as follows. As a naturalist with a
particular interest in mammals, I've been investigating reports of unexplained
predators and stock killing in southern and Western Victoria, Australia.
For some time. I'm not associated with any research group
with a focus on cryptic animals, but lais with other
independent researchers as appropriate. In the last few years, I've
been given two reports of what appeared to be hair
covered manlike animals in my research area. Intellectually, I have
great problems with the idea of such animals occurring in Australia,
but as I trust and respect the informants regarding these
two reports, I thought it best to make you all
aware of them. The first report I wished to lodge
came from work colleague of mine and took place in
the early nineteen nineties. Michael and his wife, both tertiary
educated health professionals, and five year old son, observed a
meter high, approximately three point three foot tall, hairy hominid
at close range for several seconds near their house in
the bush, a few kilometers north of Ballarate, Ballarats. Maybe
it's Ballarat. Sorry for those of you in Australia, I'm
sorry if I'm brutalizing your towns. But the sighting was
made late in the day but in good lights, and
initially at a range of only several meters, the beast
ran away from them at great speed. They sped, or
a speed rather they felt no human could move at all.
While it was quite short when compared to an adult human,
it seemed quite heavily built, and its four limbs appeared
to be disproportionately long. The hair was all over its
body and around five centimeters long, which is approximately one
point nine to two inches, and the same length on
the head, and dark brown in color. The face was
not seen and the ears were not noted, and it
ran from where they had to st it near the
entrance to their drive, diagonally across the dirt road that
services the district into a pine plantation and crashed through
the undergrowth. The ground was too hard for tracks. It
made no sound nor left any order. Interestingly enough, at
the time their son said he had seen it before,
and now, however, he has absolutely no memory of the event,
and his parents don't like to refer to it. Now.
That's kind of interesting, right, because that's a three point
you know, three foot tall. Harry hammanid, Now, I remember
when I was on kid's well, Caid was on the portal.
He had mentioned a smaller version of the sasquatch, but
it was a different name, and for the life of
me right now, I can't remember what it was.
Speaker 5: Was not the Ginjari.
Speaker 4: Maybe it was the ginger yeah or yeah. I think
he said there were several names, and that was one
of them, the ginger ya, I think when he yeah.
So if that is it, that's that's pretty incredible. But
there you have it, a first firsthand a sighting of
that cryptid, which I do believe is distinctly different from
the Yawi. I don't think they are one and the same.
It seems like there's a few different races of them
down there, and those two anyway. But I know they
got a whole host of cryptids in Australia, but the
second such well they got. They got a whole host
of a lot of things down in Australia, and most
of them seem to be able to eat people.
Speaker 5: So a whole big bunch of nopes.
Speaker 4: Do you come from a landown under? Nope? Nope. So
I've never had it, but I don't know if it's
good or not. I think it's just a vegetable spread,
isn't it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you'll be so proud of us, all right.
So the next one is the observer who wishes main.
Anonymous told me that in about nineteen eighty nine, he
and three other mates, all in their late teens, were
heading off for a night on the town in Kolak
in a battered sedan. It was already after dark, so
they were making a good pace along the gravel road
through the state forest so as not to waste too
much beer drinking time prior yeah descending a steep hill.
It was necessary to break and gear down before ascending
the coming hill, and as they got to the bottom
of the gully, an enormous man shaped animal started to
cross in front of them, but stopped and retreated. My informant,
who was a passenger in the left front seat, and
the two lads in the back seat all saw the
animal and were in shock for a few seconds, but
not the driver. The passengers all panicked and begged the
driver to get moving. The driver thought at first they
were just joshing around, but soon got the message and
none of the boys wanted to talk about it, and
I could get my informant to discuss it only once.
They had never heard any talk about such animals in
their district before or since. The animals was described as
much taller than a man, maybe two point two meters tall,
which is approximately seven feet, and very broad, with arms
proportionally much longer than human arms, but legs compare compared
to torso roughly the same as a human. No real neck,
and the head not explicitly exceptionally large. The face was
not seen, but hair covered the whole body and was
very long. The hair on the arms was described as
hanging and was very evident in the headlights. He could
not not truly discern color, but it may have been gray.
My informant said. It retreated very quickly. He felt it
had tried to beat the car but misjudge their speed,
and he has avoided the spot ever since. So very wild.
Speaker 5: Huh oh yeah, especially yeah, especially with the because I
usually hear and correct me if I'm wrong, but I
usually hear that their their hair is shorter, not so
much like tassly, you know, like tassels. And that's the
image I got when you were reading about the hair
on its arms, right, it hung down, so it reminded
me of tassels. I don't remember hearing I suppose it's
it's possible, but just an interesting point.
Speaker 4: Right, And that well, it does actually line up to
a lot of bigfoot reports that their arm on their hair,
the hair on their arms rather, is supposedly much longer
than the hair on the rest of their bodies like
that for some reason. That's a real drapy hair.
Speaker 5: But what that's like for gilly purposes.
Speaker 4: You know? Right? Yeah, I don't know. It's just it's
really amazing. And that's that's very true. And it's a
point we've made many times, is that it's no wonder
these things aren't seen when they don't choose to be,
because they are sporting a gilly suit all the time,
so they're not going to stick out unless they want to.
But you think about that, and and now I believe
they're intelligent. And here's where the big question mark is, right,
So they are capable of what we consider human like thought.
So why didn't it just stay ducked down until this
car went past? At what point did it need to
get across the street right before that car? But then
decided nope and then went back. You know what I mean.
It's one of those weird choices that I don't really understand.
It's like it wanted to be seen or something.
Speaker 5: You know, yeah, you know, it's it's sometimes you know,
I wonder sometimes if some of them do want to
be seen though, you know that, you know, they maybe
maybe they're looking for I don't know, some kind of
companionship or more a new experience. I mean they are intelligent.
I mean they I suppose they look for fun things
to do all the time. I mean, if they watch us,
like I understand they do, you know, their reality TV.
You know, they need some kind of entertainment.
Speaker 4: I suppose you can only watch sticks for so long
and then you need something more stimulating.
Speaker 5: Rock stacking only goes so high.
Speaker 4: It's like that's like Squatch Jenga. The rocks fell again.
We do something new exactly.
Speaker 5: I saw those hairless things over there, those naked things, So.
Speaker 4: The naked apes over there by the park, let's go
check it out.
Speaker 5: There's some rocks.
Speaker 4: I know it's so crazy, but I think you're right.
I think they do look at us as you know,
at least interesting and entertaining to watch, because I think
their worlds are pretty mundane for the most part.
Speaker 5: Well, you know, you can only play hide and Seek
for sol and we know they are the champions.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's I can see Binky in the brain. What
do you want to do today? How about we play
Hide and Seek again? Oh again? Yeah? Exactly interesting stories though.
I think that's pretty cool, and I think it's it's
it's fun to, you know, think that they're everywhere, like
we're not the only ones having to deal with this
or you know, whether that's a good or bad thing,
I don't know. I mean, I think about the whole
idea of what happens if when they get discovered. You know,
there's probably going to be a lot of bored people
around because there won't be any need to go out
and look for prints and stuff anymore because we'll just
know that they're there. You know. It's like nobody goes
out looking for deer prints unless they're looking to hunt.
And I don't think if these things are discovered, I
don't imagine there'll be a season for them, since they're
so human like. But you know, I mean, there'll be
a lot of people needing a new hobby. I think.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know where that thought came from. It was
kind of random, but that's how I roll. All right,
So now we're going to move over to Arkansas. I
got one here from Arkansas. I thought was it's not
extraordinarily long, but I think all of these are really interesting.
And it says Hello starts out with Hello don oftentimes
a good opening for any kind of letter. So I
saw a big foot in Sharp County on one rainy
night coming home while driving my truck. I've never believed
in all of this until I saw it that one night.
Now I know they do exist. The sasquatch was covered
with black hair all over its body. It ran across
the county road, squatted down, and when I got close
to it, it made eye contact with me and then
jumped up and ran beside my truck. Wow, jeez, that's
gonna be a little disconcerting.
Speaker 5: Just a bit.
Speaker 4: That's a code brown rite in the cockpit.
Speaker 5: Ha.
Speaker 4: What's that terrible smell? Is that this guncape? Nope? Oh,
so he said. I was concerned it would jump in
my truck bed, but it didn't. Instead, it turned and
veered off and left the roadside. I know what I saw,
and I never believed the reports till this happened to
my daughter and me that rainy night. I lived in
the country and the road where this happened was on
my way home. I've taken that road many times, but
that night it was different. For sure. I seen it
and was not going to say anything. But then my
daughter said, Mom, did you see that? And I said, yeah,
I did, but I wasn't going to say anything. And
nobody wants to believe us, but I know what we saw.
The bigfoot was short, not tall. He was bowlegged, but
he did make eye contact with me as if he
knew who I was and knew my truck. I wasn't scared,
and I know that things come around my place after dark.
Never did see anything of them, though, except bear and
possum and armadillos when I stepped out the door. But
we know what we saw. This was in the year
two thousand. People think you're crazy, but we saw what
we saw. It was nine pm at night and we
were bringing pizza home after we made a pizza run.
And my daughter was only fifteen years old at the time.
She don't like to talk about it much. It seemed
to bother her more and she would not stay out there.
But I stayed out there in the country after that.
For years this happened in the country, down a country
road in between Hardy and raven Den, Arkansas. And it
happened only once one night. Wow, oh yeah, so what
a weird behavior. So that not only like you know,
it wasn't just hey, I want to cross the road.
Well I can't make it. This guy's like the race
or something.
Speaker 5: Well yeah, and and and I got the feeling that
that he knew they were out there because because they
had been around his place before.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly, So it probably was waiting for them
to come back just to do that. Well, okay, that's
just so I don't know, you gotta wonder, what's what's
the point is that, you know, I know when Bear
was on, he talked about how the juveniles may like
to count coop, like they like to do things to
get points with the others, you know, like, oh, you know,
it's a like a contest of deer. We dare you
to run next to that truck? You know, Oh I
did it? Okay, you get you know, five squirrels in
a in a badger tale or something. You know, I
don't know what they win, but you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, yeah, you know you know, it wouldn't surprise
me though, because you know, there, you know, we talked
to Cindy Good. Was it Cindy or was it maybe
it was she Deal, I can't remember. We were talking
to somebody and they were she They mentioned and I
know it was one of our female friends U And
they mentioned that that the juveniles like to pretend to
be Dad, so you know, to gain you know, you know,
street cred. You know, I can imagine them doing like
you know, counting crew coup and and and you know,
you know, having these contests to see who can do better,
you know, or more like Dad. You know, So I
can definitely see that kind of thing going on right right.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm sure it makes sense that. I mean,
they obviously knew the truck was there, So if they
are so motivated to never be seen, why would they
be seen? And why would it run right alongside a truck,
you know, all the things, and then make eye contact too,
like not only you know, just it was totally in
your face.
Speaker 5: It's like waving as you pass somebody, you know, like, hey, I.
Speaker 4: Do I know it's this forest gumping down the road
there exactly. I don't know very strange behavior. But you know,
it does make sense. That whole counting coup thing is
about the only thing that makes sense. So my hat's
off to bear for coming up with that, because I
think he's right. That's I mean, that's not a mistake.
That was very intentional, and if they are intelligent, that's
about the only reason they would do it is Hey, hey, Oogla,
I'll bet you won't run next to the truck. So
I don't know, Oogla. That just came to me. It
might be one of their names. I was going full
caveman on that naming convention, So.
Speaker 5: I don't you know, we've heard weirder names.
Speaker 4: Yes we have, all right, So let's find another one here.
Where are we at, all right? So this one is
also Arkansas. This one comes from the year nineteen ninety,
the year of our Lord, nineteen ninety. And this is
on Wichitan National Forest Road number one fourteen. Okay, I
gotta get this one has all kinds of detail stuff
at the top end, so details of the encounter. The
witness called at about eleven PM to restore power to
a data transmission tower which was located on top of
Fairchild Mountain in the Wichita National Forest. He drove alone
to the area on a small repair service bucket truck.
He stopped at the Lake Wanona Operations area at the
dam at the location of the on pole breakers for
the three face tower line to the tower. He found
that the breaker for one leg of the power was
thrown and would immediately trip when it was engaged. He
then began to drive the road alongside the power lines
to see if he could find the problem. The power
line runs immediately alongside NFR number one fourteen on part
of its route to the tower, which is about six
miles by road from the dam. Part of the power
line is situated out of sight of the road, and
the line at times crosses the road. After driving and
looking for an hour or so, he decided he needed
a call for additional help in finding and repairing the
problem quickly. At the time, the tower was reportedly used
to transmit high priority information for a federal agency, and
the tower was reportedly operated by AT and T. The
tower is no longer used for that purpose, according to
the lineman. Uh huh, so next I got a scroll here.
He continued to inspect the lines, which he could see
with a spotlight from the road, and after he arranged
for another lineman and his helper to bring their bucket
truck to assist him. After a while, he noticed a
broken insulator on one of the poles alongside the south
side of the road. He pulled past the pole several
yards and called the other lan by radio to tell
them what he had found and the location of the damage.
The other crew told him that they were close and
decided to wait for them. The other truck arrived a
few minutes later, and it was backed off the road
so the pole could be accessed by the bucket on
that truck. The helper got into the bucket and began
to process of replacing the broken insulator. During that time,
the two linemen were leaning across the passenger side of
the hood of the truck that was being used by
the helper, and they were facing the rear of the truck,
which was parked on the opposite side of the road.
The road in front of the idling truck was fully
illuminated by the headlights that were left on. The first
lineman was talking and looking up at the brightly lit
road with when the road when it says, looking up
the brightly lit road when road when it says it twice,
when suddenly he saw a large, hair covered manlike creature
walking slowly off the slope on the north side of
the road. The man was so stunned he was unable
to speak for a few seconds. The creature slowly walked
across the road ditch and onto the shoulder of the road.
The lineman then excitedly asked the other if he saw
the animal. The other said he was watching it. The
animal turned away from the men and slowly walked west
on the road until it passed over the crest of
a ridge and was out of sight. The animal never
looked toward the men or the noisy vehicles, and seemed
completely unconcerned about their presence. They described it as over
seven feet tall, covered in dark hair, long legs and arms.
It walked with a peculiar gait and stride noticeably different
from that of a person. The witness did not see
the animal's face and did not see any breasts to
indicate it was a female. He saw no genitalia, and
the witness stated he could not remember some the details
of the animal's appearance because of at the time that
had passed since the sighting. He said that for several
years he could visualize more in detail what he had
seen and had told many people about the encounter, and
described the animal's appearance. The second lineman was asked by
the first what kind of animal the two had just seen.
The second lineman reportedly said, I don't know, and I
don't want to know. Oh boy, so that's got to
be a little intense, don't you think.
Speaker 5: Yeah? Absolutely, wow.
Speaker 4: So they're out there just doing their job and out
just walks the squatch.
Speaker 5: Now it was dark out then, right, because they said
the headlights were illuminating it, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, the headlights were going down the road and
illuminating the road, and it obviously walked right, and I
mean it could have avoided that, right right, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: That's one of those cases where he wants to be
seen it. I mean, they understand what light does? I mean,
I don't think it. I don't think they make a
difference between sunlight and headlights. No lights, They don't want
to be seen if they don't want to be seen
right now.
Speaker 4: The interesting thing is also that a lot of researchers
claim that flashlights piss them off, Like the worst thing
you can do if you don't want to agitate them,
is don't shine your flashlight at them directly, because apparently
they get really pissy about that. And I suppose if
they're you know, if their eyes are adjusted to the
darkness and then you get a mag light in the face,
it's going to screw that up for a while, you know.
But yeah, I guess they really get aggressive or throw
a fit when people put their flashlights in their face.
Speaker 5: So well, the interesting that's one of those times when
they don't want to be seen, so when you do
get your flashlight on them, they kind of freak out.
Speaker 4: You're right, But this one obviously just was like screw it,
I don't care, and just a normal walk and then
not only walk it walked through the prairie or whatever,
up the ditch onto the road and then just walk
down the road like you owned it, you know, I did. Well,
yeah he did at that moment for sure.
Speaker 5: At the beast oh my goodness, you know. But that's
the difference between you know, the flashlight thing and not
wanting to be seen and this one, you know, not
caring that it's seen, you know. So I think that's
the that may make a difference in the flashlight idea,
because maybe they're hiding and they don't want you to
see him. But if you whip out a flashlight, Oh,
temperature has changed.
Speaker 4: Now amen, Well, I tell you what. There's a good
time to take a break. So how about we do
just that. All right, we'll be right back, ladies and gentlemen,
more of these stories of encountering the king of the forest,
the Sasquatch. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're back at
it here. I am joined by my good friend Don
long Beard, still here, still putting up with me after
all this time. So we're on a roll, ladies and gentlemen.
It's a bromance, it definitely is, but you know it's
the Beard that's what does it. So tonight we're talking
about encounters with the Sasquatch and it's pretty amazing and
Don and I are seeing a real curious read emerging
through the stories tonight, and ladies and gentlemen, this wasn't planned.
Usually a lot of the encounter stories are are people
in the woods, happened to happen on them, but the
circumstances that people are reporting seeing them tonight in the
stories that we picked out for the show. You know,
like literally this wasn't planned, but every one of them,
it seems like it's a conscious choice that these bigfoot
are going out of their way to be seen. And
in all of the scenarios so far, they've had plenty
of opportunity to avoid human contact if they chose, but
they've made choices that put them right in the face
of people, and you got to wonder, what the what
the logic there is. It's pretty incredible.
Speaker 5: Idun Yeah, it's crazy because you know it, they're they're
just sticking their foot out there and saying, hey, check
this out. Nobody's gonna believe you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess what. I'm here now and I own this.
It's it's pretty intense. But you know, I I think
that they, like we've like we've discussed, they want to
be seen. It seems like they really at times just
want to be noticed, and maybe I don't know what
for what reason. I guess I'm still pondering that. For
the for the younger ones, that makes sense that they're
you know, they're maybe counting coup as we discussed before,
But that last story really dealt with what I consider
or assume is a full grown adult and still pull
in that same you know act, I don't know. It's
very strange for an animal that has chosen our absence
or a being I should say that's chosen our absence.
They are going out of their way once in a
while to be present. So we're going to continue on
our stories here. I got another one. Arkansas came up
a bunch tonight. So let's see what this one is.
This is dealing with. It's kind of written oddly, so
I'm gonna have to kind of assemble it. So though
the witnesses, a twenty five year old person, spent a
lot of time in the woods hunting and fishing, and
he stated he often camped alone, except he bring his
dog in the surrounding woods. So the incident is as described.
As he neared the intersection of a trail he's out
in the woods that led to a pine thicket which
contained a large brier patch about thirty yards off the road,
he saw a pine tree being shaken vigorously. What was
surprising was to see the tree moving, and he walked
down the trail towards it to see what was causing
all that movement. As he got within about fifteen feet
of the tree. He could see that it was about
thirty feet tall and about six inches in diameter. Through
the brier thicket, he could see something standing behind the
tree and could hear a low, grunting and moaning sound.
He slowly moved sideways around the thicket until he could
see the tree more clearly, and he then saw that
a large, hair covered animal was standing on two feet,
rubbing its back against the pine tree. Because the thicket
blocked part of the view of the animal, he could
only see the back part of his left shoulder and
a part of its back on that side. The animal
was squirming and rubbing the tree along its spine, and
was grunting and moaning contentedly as it did so. The
animal was apparently unaware of the boy's presence. Although the
boy spent a lot of time in the woods, he
could not understand what he was seeing. Although he'd never
seen a bear, he decided that was what he was watching.
He watched for about fifteen seconds and started backing out
of the pine thicket to the road, and then ran
home to tell the family about that he had seen
a large brown bear, and they didn't believe him. So
I guess is Arkansas, so brown bears would be a
little more rare, although you know there are black bears
that can be cinnamon colored. But what he described is
When asked the height of the animal, the witness pointed
out a nearby bird house mounted on a post and
said it was about that same height as the top
of the bird house. The top of the bird house
is seven and one half feet off the ground. He
stated the animal had long hair that was brown but
streaked with lighter colors. He said the hair was somewhat
matted and dirty looking, and he never he saw neither
the face nor the hands, and only a small part
of the hair on the left side of the animal's head.
He said that when he was about nine years old,
he first heard a sound of what appeared to be
a woman screaming in great distress in the woods near
his home. It was daylight and he was alone outside.
He said the sound was so loud and pitiful that
it distressed him to the point where he began crying
and began running towards the sound in the woods. When
the sound stopped, he continued to cry, but began to
shout for the woman to shout back so he would
know where she was so he could help her. He
got no immediate response, so he continued slowly walking and
looking fully expecting to see an injured woman. After a
few yards, he stopped to listen, and then he heard
the same sound coming from two different directions off at
a great distance, and he heard the sound repeated.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 4: He was confused about what was going on, and after
a while he slowly walked back to the yard. When
he mentioned the sounds to adults, they said that he
had heard panthers and there had always been some of
the area because a nearby creek was named for them.
He never believed them because the sounds were so human like.
Over the next few years, he heard the sound three
more times, but they were heard at night. He stated
it always distressed him greatly to hear these sounds, but
he never knew their origin. Six years ago, he was
camping one night in the woods above the upper end
of Lake NoREL when during the middle of the night,
he heard loud animal sounds that he couldn't identify. A
few minutes later, he heard the sounds of large rocks
being banged together on the hills above the lake. He
stated that at no time during his time in the woods,
did he ever feel threatened, but that the strange sounds
he heard when he was in the woods were so
common that they seemed normal.
Speaker 5: That's pretty crazy, right, yeah, you know, yeah, and we
taught we taught we hear about you know, them imitating
or sounding like certain things, like they can imitate owls
or coyotes and how different howls of whatnot. You know,
But what sounds like a human woman?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 5: That scary that would be.
Speaker 4: But you know, I've heard that claim before of people
hearing that strange like woman screaming, and it sounds like
what I've heard it described as a woman screaming bloody murderers.
How I've always heard it like it's just this terrible,
heart wrenching kind of scream. But you know, I don't
know if that's a female sasquatch that does that or what,
but that is absolutely terrifying. I Mean, you'd think of
things like, well, is it a banshee, is it a
you know, some whaling ghost. And I think that's where
a lot of those you know, the whailing woman in
the forest legends come from. It's probably from these things
just out there, you know, making a racket.
Speaker 5: That's crazy.
Speaker 4: Right, Well, I'm glad I've not heard that sound. That's
got to be heart wrenching. Wow, very cool, though.
Speaker 5: I have to say, you know it's they, you know
they He pointed out the birdhouse, you know that were
on the post, and it was seven and a half foot. Yeah,
but if they're a brown bear, which are commonly called grizzly,
Grizzly bears are huge, and if if it was a
grizzly bear, seven and a half foot is medium size
for them.
Speaker 4: Right. Well, this is from Arkansas, though, so that would
be very very rare to have a grizzly in Arkansas. Yeah,
you know, I mean, I'm sure back in the you know,
in the days when when people were first settling, then
they were pretty common everywhere. But they've been pretty much
pushed back in their range up into Canada, and our
area of course has some grizzly as well, but very
north and over there. I don't think there's any up
until you get into Canada on the east, right.
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, you're right, yep, So it would be be
not that it.
Speaker 4: Would be impossible, but it would be just about as
likely to see a sasquatch as a grizzly aspose, so,
but very that's a good point. I mean it could
be a bear, but seven and a half feet would
be very large for a black bear or that of
that type of bear, because generally they're about six feet
and that's about as big as they get. Is that right?
Has that what you've heard done?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: For for black bear? Yeah, they would, They wouldn't get
much more than six foot, Yeah, definitely not. I would
say the one that ran across my yard that's right
last year, probably waited about three hundred maybe three point fifty.
If he stood up, he'd probably only be about well,
probably be about five and a half feet, I guess
at the shoulders. Of course, then they got that big
head on top, you know, so if you say that,
they'd be well into six foot. And that was probably
he was probably a little young, probably like four or five,
I suppose.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's still a good size bear. Very weird that
it ran right out there when you guys were out there.
That's just so strange, like bear.
Speaker 5: Chomping across it looks over like, hey, how you doing
down the hill, like just just taking the jog.
Speaker 4: You gotta wonder what what what's scared? What scared him
out of the woods that he was willing to run
by a house?
Speaker 5: Well, he he, he was over by our neighbor, you know,
and you know, on the on the other tent side
of the twenty acres I live on. Yeah, and he
had wandered down in their yard and their dogs were
going off, and so he was yelling at it.
Speaker 4: Hey get out of here, and oh gotcha.
Speaker 5: Apparently it decided to come towards me because you know,
the other side of my property is the river. So
sure he knew that, and he goes, oh, well, I
did expect to see them today.
Speaker 4: Well, and thank god that all worked out.
Speaker 5: Okay, but that's we were dressed for company. Oh well, anyhow,
all right.
Speaker 4: Well let's continue. We got a couple more to go.
I just did this one, so let me do this one. Now,
this one's going We're going all the way to eastern Arizona.
Now don oh. Now, the heading of this is that
the White Mounted Apache Nation goes public with bigfoot sightings.
So let me just take a look. Yeah, this isn't
too bad. I was just looking at the length of it.
So it says Tucson, Arizona, September two, two thousand and six.
Footprints in the mud, tufts of hair on a fence,
ear piercing screeches in the night. These are only fragments
of the stories now coming from the White Mountain, the
White Mountains in eastern Arizona. For years, the Mountain Apache
Nation has kept the secret within tribal boundaries. We're not
prone to easily talk to outsiders, said the spokesman spokeswoman
rather Colette Altaha. But there have been more sightings than
ever before, and it can't be ignored any longer. It
is a creature the world knows as Bigfoot. No one's
had a negative encounter with it, said Marjorie Grimes, who
lives in Whitewater, the primary town in the reservation. Grimes
is one of many who claim to have seen the
creature over the last twenty five years. Her first sighting
was in nineteen eighty two. Her most recent was in
the summer of two thousand and four, driving home from
town in Chibbeque or sibequ cib e Cue. She becomes
more animated as the memory comes forth. It was all
black and it was tall. The way it walked, it
was taking big strides I put on the brakes and
raced back and looked between the two trees where it
was and it was gone. So it was just a
real quick sighting. So Grime's son Francis has a story.
Their neighbor, Cecil Hendrix, has a story. Even police officers
have had strange encounters. Officer Catherine Montoya has seen it twice.
On a recent Monday night, dozens of people called into
the tribe's radio station KNNB to talk about what seen,
and others came in person, and it says the newsroom
was there, so was Tom Biscardi and crew from Searching
for Bigfoot Incorporated. The California based team has crisscrossed the
country pursuing reports of the mythic animal. New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Texas,
and Arizona have been hotspots this year. Biscardi said the
Apache land is an untapped resource for investigators. There are
way too many reports coming out of here of seeing
this creature. My god, people better start listening and coming
and coming to this thing, because it's happening. His ultimate
goal is to capture a Bigfoot creature, study it for
ninety days, and return it to the wild two nights
in a row. Biscardi and crew strapped motion activated cameras
with night vision lenses onto trees in the nearby woods.
They set up listening devices and made noises, which he
claims lure the creature in a view. All their efforts
yield only one small result. No mystery beast, no mystery screams. Instead,
there is relief. Colette Altaha said, the people on the
reservation are beginning to support the decision to go public
because of people doubting them before. They before they never
came forward. But now with the help of Tom Biscardi
and this team, they've come out here and our people
are beginning to open up. Indeed, the decision to let
the Three TV report this story was a controversial one
on the radio program, and apache caller said that tribal
elders were uncomfortable letting the legend be known. Still, al
Taha believes it is the right thing to do. I've
heard stories from a while back about sightings and I'm
not easily persuaded. But with so many of the people
coming forward and telling us their stories, there might be
something out there that actually exists. Tribal police Lieutenant Ray
Brunette or Burnett rather puts it in in terms of
public safety. A couple of times they've seen this creature
looking through the windows. They're scared when they calls. As
in all alleged sightings of a bigfoot creature, tangible evidence
is scarce. The Patterson film from nineteen sixty seven is
perhaps the most often seen video, and it shows a tall,
hairy figure striding through the woods of the Pacific Northwest
and for nearly forty years, this film's authenticity has been debated,
but it has never been discredited. In the White Mountains,
last year, investigators found footprints, several tufts of hair and
other material at the scene of a sighting. Tribal police
made plaster casts from the prints and sent hair and
plant samples to the Department of Public Safety for analysis
in its state of the art crime lab. Test results
showed the hair was not human but not animal in origin. Wow,
that's cool. Further testing to determine what kind of animal
was not done, so they know it wasn't animal. They
know it wasn't a human, so what's left? So it continues.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department does not investigate big
bigfoot sightings, and neither does the state's Veterinarian's Office, a
division of the Arizona Department of Health and Services. Perhaps
the only organizations that will take such reports seriously are
bigfoot hunters such as Biscardi or the big Foot Field
Researchers Organization, which is better known as the BFRO. The
field is not well organized and is often manned by
amateurs with little or no scientific background. Biscardi himself has
come under fire in the Pass for promoting an alleged
find that later turned out to be a hoax. He
is more careful these days and promises a huge revelation
yet to come. It will be something even more fantastic
than the hunters of reports of the Apache bigfoot back
on the reservation. Lieutenant Burnett wants outsiders to realize that
the Apartment takes all these calls seriously, and so should you.
The calls were getting from people, They weren't hallucinating, they
weren't drunks, and they weren't people that we know can
make hoax calls. They're from real citizens of the Ford
Apache Indian Reservation. Wow. So it's kind of cool that
they came forward as a you know, as a as
a nation and said, hey, this is what's going on here,
because it is tough to get the elders to open
up for that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they you know, they've been separated for so long,
you know that. I mean, and look at the history,
you know, I mean, it wouldn't surprise me. It doesn't
surprise me at all at the the secrecy behind it,
you know, because you know everything that's happened. So but
what's that? When was that written?
Speaker 4: This is let me look up at the top here,
it says September second, two thousand and six, so quite
a few years ago, about thirteen years ago.
Speaker 5: I guess maybe we should dive into that a little
more and see if we can pull more stories out
of that time from that area.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it sounds like there's apparently a lot
going on. This is just from a news report, of course,
but it's a curious story. But I think it's encouraging,
you know. So I got one more on deck here,
and this should be about perfect for our times. So
this is coming from Indiana, Putnam County, in a town
called Morton, and from August two thousand and seven. The
male witness is sitting on his porch at around ten
thirty pm when he heard something coming from his apple trees.
As he listened, it sounded like kids climbing into the branches,
and he hollered and heard what sounded like. Whoever it
was must have jumped from the tree, landing on the
ground and walking off. Not thinking much about it, he
went inside his home, and a little later, his dog
became really agitated and started growling and barking while looking
out the glass patio sliding door. The man was watching television.
He got up to see what his dog was so
angry about, and he too looked out the patio door.
What he saw was quite remarkable. He saw the silhouette
of a black, ape looking creature that had what he
described as a head sitting on his shoulders with no neck.
It appeared to be seven or eight feet tall. It
stood motionless and stared the man down before it turned
around and melted into the darkness. The man who saw
it later called law enforcements and they contacted me. There's
one thing I didn't find out until I did a
follow up interview. When the man heard his dog barking,
he walked outside and he saw the creature. It was
about thirty feet away. When he looked back towards the
house and then looked back again, the creature charged. Oof.
It was only about twenty feet away, and then it
took off. Oh, bluff charts. That's gotta be a scraper
right there, for sure. He said he saw it again
about three nights ago walking the field next to his house,
and it was moving very quickly. Several of the people
in the area have also seen it. And there's just
a short distance from my home as the crowflies, which
is maybe three miles. And this fellow also informed me
that while he was sassafras hunting, he found what appeared
to be a nesting area on the ground that was
several feet across that had been constructed out of branches, twigs,
and other debris. In the nest was different clumps of
matted hair or fur, and when he took his brother
to the area a few days later, the nest was
completely destroyed and the hair and fur was gone. Have
you ever heard of anything like this before? Ah, that's
pretty now. This was submitted by a guy named Larry
and then bat Larry Batson Wildlife Educational Services Incorporated. Wow,
that's pretty intense. They had an opportunity to grab some hair.
Speaker 5: That's good. That's going to be interesting, right, very interesting.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's the kind of stories though. I'm telling you,
you know, the bluff charge for me would be absolutely
my worst nightmare. I think you're looking at eight feet
of Harry Hulk and you know charges at you. What
are you gonna do? Nothing? You're gonna sit there and
drool and hope to god it's a bluff charge.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, doubt, crazy, very crazy.
Speaker 4: But I don't know, brother, I think that that's a show.
What do you think?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 5: Really already I'm.
Speaker 4: Telling you time flies when you're in the portal.
Speaker 5: That's true. That is true. Well, in that case, awesome.
Speaker 4: Unless you had something that you wanted to share.
Speaker 5: Well, I I found this one from Adams County, Idaho.
But it's a pretty long one.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, I take a few minutes, but we got
you know, we got time. If you want to read
it for sure.
Speaker 5: Sure, Yeah. So this is from Adams County, Idaho, which
is about two hundred and fifty miles kind of south
of US, directly down our main highway. Says two thousand
and nine was the third year that I had been
able to spend the whole season hunting in the mountains.
I retired in October of two thousand and seven. I
pulled my camp trailer to the up to the end
of September and set it up for thirty six days
of camping, hunting, and setting sitting around the fire, enjoying
the outdoors. I spent a lot of time camping and
hunting by myself. Everyone else is still working and riding
my ATV on odd logging roads that are still open
to four wheelers. At twelve twenty four am on the
seventh night, something woke me up. As I sat up
in bed a minute or so, in the rear end
of my camp trail trailers started rocking back and forth.
All the stabilizer jacks were down and the trailer was solid,
so whatever was pushing the trailer was very strong. A
fully loaded trailer weighs in at more than five thousand
and fifty five five hundred pounds, and whatever was moving
it was not making any noise. While it rocked. My
first thought was that it was a bear, a really
big bear. That's a huge bear. I grabbed my shotgun,
put a shell in it, and sat there and waited
for a few seconds, the trailer continued to rock back
and forth. So I grabbed the airhorn that was sitting
on the table and gave it several blasts. That did
not stop it. So I got the keys to my
truck and pushed the panic button setting.
Speaker 4: On the horn.
Speaker 5: This stopped whatever it was and was quiet for five minutes.
I sat there for I sat there with the shotgun
in my hands, listening for any sound. There was no sound,
just total quiet. I convinced myself that it was just
bear when this god awful sound came from the ridge
behind the trailer. It started off like a whistle, turning
into a horse whine, a horse whinny, and then going
into a very loud howl, and finishing off with a growl.
All of these sounds were running together with no pause
in between. It lasted for maybe fifteen to ten to
fifteen seconds, and then all went quiet. Damnedest sound I
ever heard scared the hell out of me. I got
dressed and sat there in the dark the rest of
the night, shot gun in hand. I've never had anything
affect me like that before. After it was completely daylight,
I went out to look at the backside of the trailer.
And see if there were any tracks on the ground.
There were not any dents in the trailer or tracks
on the ground. There should have been tracks because the
ground was kind of soft and out of habit I
rake all the pine leaves, pine needles, and forest duff
away from the trailer, leaving just dirt and grass. I
need to mention here that a two hundred and forty
pound friend of mine drove into camp while I was
still out checking for traps and looking for any damage
to my trailer. He wanted to know what I was doing,
so I told him the events of the last eight hours.
I also went back inside and had him push the
trailer to see if he could rock it back and forth.
The best he could do was to give it a
jolt by throwing a shoulder into it. He couldn't make
it rock in smooth motion. That had occurred the night before.
This particular event is what finally gave me the incentive
to file a report, and largely because it's the first time,
I cannot fix any logical, rational explanation to it that
would allow me to forget it happened. So there's the
bulk of the story right there. So yeah, he's out
in Ada County hunting for you know, quite a few days.
His trailers rocking back and forth, and the and the
the howling, and the sound, the god awful sound, he says. Interesting.
But then again, you know, like we just said, you know,
at the beginning of the show, you know, apparently we've
got them around here.
Speaker 4: So yeah, there's no shortage of them anywhere, as it sounds,
and and it's you know, to me, it sounds like
perhaps the populations are really growing of the ones that
are out there, right, and it just just by virtue
of number of claimed sightings. Now, I know some people
are not gonna be as accurate and maybe miss misrepresenting
sasquatch with another more mundane animal, you know, just the
the adrenaline, of course, is it makes you get a
wound up, and maybe you're not seeing things as clearly
as you think. So not every report is accurate. I
believe that most people make them in good faith. But
I just think people are people, and sometimes people aren't
as familiar with the woodland creatures as they think. But
if you know, if let's say fifty percent of the
reports coming in are all valid, then it would definitely
seem to be a great uptick of activity for these things,
and which to me implies there are more of them
now than there have been before. I don't know, it's
just speculation, of course, I have no grounds for that
other than just a gut feeling, but it seems like
there may be more of them around, and perhaps perhaps
as they are are more of them around, they're becoming
more acclimated to being around people because of course they
have to expand the range. You know, they must have
a huge caloric need for their diet. So I bet
some of them are probably lingering around, or more of
them are probably lingering around civilization than ever before as well,
which means they're going to be seen, right, you know.
But I agree, it's a crazy world, that is true.
So I think that's going to wrap it up, though.
