00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Sasquatch Theory. On this episode, we have

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,359
Neil back from the state of Georgia for a part

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:16,280
two podcast. We continue exploring years of activity on his property.

4
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,320
This time, Neil shares his son's incredible sightings, his wife's

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,679
encounter through a thermal device, and why he believes sasquatch

6
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,000
chose his land as a safe haven, and the lessons

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,840
he's learned after years of living alongside these mysterious creatures.

8
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,039
We also discuss his books, his research, and some fascinating

9
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:42,880
theories that developed through decades of first hand experiences. If

10

Speaker 2: Today.

17
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: With all that being said, here's part two of my

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:22,719
conversation with Neil from Georgia. All right, Neil, welcome back

19
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,799
to Sasquatch Theory. It's an absolute pleasure to have you

20
00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:29,400
back on the show today. Neil. If you would give

21
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:34,719
us a little info bout yourself and the experiences that

22
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,599
you didn't mention in the first podcast. Let's talk about everything.

23
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: OK, it sounds good. My name is Neil. I'm with

24
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,680
bigfoot tall dot com. In fact, I started that site

25
00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:49,480
to share information of things that I've seen here of

26
00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:54,040
the Bigfoot family that we cohabitate with do the first thing, though,

27
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:58,280
I'd like to thank the people that watched the episode

28
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:02,239
that we did on July seventh. Y'all had such kind

29
00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:05,159
comments and everything, and I really appreciate that because that

30
00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:08,280
really means a lot. And I even responded to some

31
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,400
people because of the fact that it was so nice

32
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:15,800
it deserved a comment back. A couple of the comments

33
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,840
was talking about you ought to write a book, and

34
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,199
I let them know, but briefly, I'll let you know. Also,

35
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:28,560
I've already written two books. One is called Understanding Bigfoot,

36
00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:33,719
a guide for outdoor enthusiasts, and the other one is

37
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,400
Bigfoot in Georgia. The cohabitation chronicles when Bigfoot let us

38
00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:41,400
know they were there. Now, that last one is a

39
00:02:41,439 --> 00:02:44,520
five book series of things that have happened here. I'm

40
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,800
working on the second book of the five books now.

41
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,639
The first one just gives overviews off the patterns that

42
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:55,879
you would notice when you were camping, fishing, hiking and hunting,

43
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,719
and what it may mean and what's the best action

44
00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:05,360
for you to take to make it a safe interaction

45
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,280
with them. But one of the things I wanted to

46
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:14,840
do is get into I talked about a lot of

47
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,039
the sightings that I had on the last podcast. I

48
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,319
wanted to tell a few that my sons had. He's

49
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:26,960
seen four here and he's seen one somewhere else, and

50
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,919
I want to briefly tell those things that have happened

51
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,719
here that he's seen and the one he saw somewhere else.

52
00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:41,599
One day, my wife and he was planning some flowers

53
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:44,800
on the porch, and my wife needed some more dirt

54
00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:47,759
to go to put in the pots for the plants.

55
00:03:48,439 --> 00:03:51,199
So he went down to the creek where I had

56
00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:53,960
a pile of dirt that we had dug of to

57
00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:56,800
make a pad in the backyards for people to relax

58
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:02,120
and talk on. And he went there to get some dirt,

59
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,879
but it was so grown up with stuff and had

60
00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:05,639
so many roots that he couldn't get it. So he

61
00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:09,199
decided to go another fifteen yards down into the woods

62
00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:12,800
into the creek, and when he did, he got the

63
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,360
shock of his life. Down there on the other side,

64
00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:18,759
we have a little barn. It used to be a

65
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,120
hay barn a long time ago when they farmed this location.

66
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:28,120
And actually it has a chair in the back of

67
00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:30,800
it that was brought from the pond two tens of

68
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,040
a mile away and put there. And I know what

69
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,360
put it there. Nothing else can make something go through

70
00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:38,120
the woods, and you can move two tents of a

71
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,399
mile from one place to another. And I'll tell about

72
00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:45,959
that later on. But as he got down to the creek,

73
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,360
he started to dig some dirt and he saw movement

74
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,160
out of the corner of his eye. And he looked,

75
00:04:50,519 --> 00:04:54,240
and he saw a young one looking at him. And

76
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,480
I don't know who was scared her, if it was

77
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,839
him or by the Bigfoot, the young bigfoot. He said,

78
00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:04,920
it was like a cartoon. He said. The thing moved

79
00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:08,160
so fast it was like a blur. He said, it

80
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,560
was just there in a street gone. He said it

81
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:13,920
was crazy. And I said, did you ever hear it?

82
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,680
Said no, that weird thing about it. I never heard

83
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,279
a sound from it. I just saw it. Blew tim.

84
00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:25,759
He hadn't gone down to around that little barn again.

85
00:05:26,519 --> 00:05:30,399
He's not scared to, but he just hadn't gone down there.

86
00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:33,240
He avoy's going down there unless somebody's down there with him.

87
00:05:34,399 --> 00:05:39,759
The second sighting he saw was very unusual. I came

88
00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:44,360
after it and kind of figured out what I believe happened.

89
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,360
We were coming home from work and he was on

90
00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:53,839
the road getting ready to pull into our driveway, and

91
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,199
when he on the left hand side of the road,

92
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:01,120
it dips down a lot, really deep steve hill. At

93
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,360
the bottom of it, there's a fence with some brush

94
00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:07,720
sticking up, but there's a couple of holes in the

95
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,040
fence in the middle of it, but still had some

96
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,759
trees and stuff covering it. But I've seen it in

97
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:17,399
the winter, so I know that there's a couple of

98
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:21,399
holes in it. Well. As he swerved to come into

99
00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:24,360
my driveway, the lights cut into the bottom some and

100
00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:28,279
he saw two things on all four coming at him,

101
00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:32,639
and he was He put on his brakes, slowed down,

102
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,639
and he said, Dad, this was not wild hogs. He said,

103
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,759
I think it was bigfoot. He said, I think there

104
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,000
were two young bigfoot And I said, well, what'd you do?

105
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:47,839
He said, well, I wanted to make sure, so I

106
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,879
went on down across the bridge turned into a driveway

107
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,720
to turn around to come back to see if I

108
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,279
can see them, because I'll be on that side of

109
00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:00,160
the road. And he said, when I crossed the bridge,

110
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:04,519
down at the other end of that fence was something

111
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:11,399
back lit by a night light in the yard. He said, Dad,

112
00:07:11,519 --> 00:07:16,079
it was so big. I said, how big was it?

113
00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:18,120
He said, I can't tell you, but it was it was.

114
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,399
He said, it was crazy, how big? He said, I

115
00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:25,160
can't even tell you guess at how high tall it was,

116
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:28,879
but I would guess eight foot or more. And he goes,

117
00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:31,360
and that's probably on the low side because he's down

118
00:07:31,399 --> 00:07:34,560
in the hole. He said. I said, so, what'd you do?

119
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,439
He said, I pulled into a dryway and got my

120
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:45,079
butt home. I said, okay. After that that day he

121
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:50,079
was talking about I remember that. That night I was

122
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,879
coming home from work. I was probably fifteen to twenty

123
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,920
minutes behind him, and I remember in the field over

124
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:02,360
to the left behind the fence, there was a bunch

125
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:07,319
of wild hogs in that field. We don't have any

126
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:11,240
wild hogs on our place, but there's some on that place.

127
00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:13,519
Not anymore anyway, we had a couple of them that

128
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:18,560
were here. They're gone now, but there were wild hogs

129
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,360
all in that field, So I'm thinking my best guess

130
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,920
is they came up out of the creek to that side,

131
00:08:26,959 --> 00:08:30,240
in that ditch, and they were sneaking down those trees

132
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,879
to see if they could grab one of those hogs

133
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:35,519
through the trees through one of those openings in the fence.

134
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,440
And I think that's what was happening. It probably had

135
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,679
the one big adult and the two little ones that

136
00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:45,679
were sneaking up trying to sit down and be real quiet,

137
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:48,639
and if a wild hog got close enough, it would

138
00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:51,799
grab it, just like they would a deer. So I

139
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:55,799
think that's what happened on that because we have a

140
00:08:55,799 --> 00:08:58,440
lot of little ones around here, or had a lot

141
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,600
of little ones around here, a lot of juveniles because

142
00:09:01,639 --> 00:09:05,679
each when it was a nursery site, each young one

143
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,519
or baby would have a juvenile with them. So I

144
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,039
think he saw two juveniles coming up sneaking up the

145
00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:15,679
creek and the other one was already there and he

146
00:09:15,799 --> 00:09:18,679
just didn't see it. And when he turned around and

147
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,000
saw the big one, that was the third one that

148
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:27,480
he saw. But one of the most unique situations that

149
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,720
he had was on an expedition. He was on an expedition,

150
00:09:32,759 --> 00:09:36,120
and the leader of the expedition saw in his thermal

151
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:42,879
a big hot thing behind a rock. A boulter is

152
00:09:42,919 --> 00:09:44,840
a bouter. One a rock as a bouter because it's

153
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,840
about five foot tall, and he knew it was one.

154
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,639
He knew it was a big food because nothing else

155
00:09:53,639 --> 00:09:57,200
would be taller than that five foot tall rock. Nothing

156
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,279
would be even a bear unless a bear standing up up,

157
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:08,559
and he knew what to bear. But anyway, so he asked,

158
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,960
there was a little trail down there off the road

159
00:10:11,039 --> 00:10:12,799
that they were old. There's a little trail, and he says,

160
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,159
if they want to go with me, and I'll go

161
00:10:14,159 --> 00:10:19,080
sneak up on it. And nobody went by my son,

162
00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:24,720
he's usually not scared of anything, but he said he

163
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:27,559
went with them. So they were sneaking up and they

164
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,720
could see this thing picking up some to its mouth

165
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,240
and then putting it back down, and it was watching

166
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,840
them the whole way. They snug to within ten yards

167
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:43,960
and then it turned its back to them, and you

168
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,200
could they could tell then that the shoulders came up

169
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,240
to the top of the rock and it was hunched over.

170
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:53,759
So the guy that was leading him said it had

171
00:10:53,759 --> 00:10:57,919
to be at least seven foot tall. But when the

172
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,279
guy within ten foot, it turned his back to them,

173
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:06,120
and then the guy realized, this isn't good. He's always

174
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,600
had them run from them, There's never been one just

175
00:11:08,639 --> 00:11:12,360
stand there. They've always run. This was the first one ever,

176
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:17,080
and unless it's changed, it still is. That didn't run away.

177
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,639
So when he realized that he was ten yards there

178
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:24,240
were ten yards from it, and it had a kill

179
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,240
right there, he said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We

180
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:29,200
got a back up. We got back up on the

181
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,480
trail like the way we came, and get back up there.

182
00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:37,080
And to this day he's amazed that he didn't get

183
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,960
spoofed because you could see the thing on the thermal

184
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,039
clear as day, and both of them had a thermal

185
00:11:44,159 --> 00:11:47,679
and they could tell it was eating something. But they

186
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:52,320
got within ten yards of that one. And I don't

187
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,799
know how many people could even do that. I mean,

188
00:11:54,879 --> 00:11:58,840
most people would be so unnerved that they would just say,

189
00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:02,360
heck with it, I'm out of here, you know, But

190
00:12:03,159 --> 00:12:05,879
they he held his cool and he still talks about that.

191
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,240
The guy still talks about that to this day. He's like,

192
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,879
that's the most incredible thing I've ever experienced because of

193
00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:14,720
the fact that we got that close and it didn't

194
00:12:14,799 --> 00:12:19,080
run and it didn't try to do anything because we

195
00:12:19,159 --> 00:12:22,600
backed off just in time. But that's the four that

196
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,600
he sing Now, my wife has seen one on an expedition.

197
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:29,399
She's actually seen one here that I saw that I

198
00:12:29,399 --> 00:12:32,080
already talked about because we were all at the kitchen

199
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,720
table when we all saw it. But she saw one

200
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,519
one time. I got her a new thermal and the

201
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,919
ninetime expedition was really gone. But what we do is

202
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,039
we have a campfire where everybody meets up afterwards where

203
00:12:47,039 --> 00:12:51,720
we go into the trails and then some people say

204
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,559
at the campfire, some go on the trails. Well, we

205
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,639
were back at the campfire and one of the guys

206
00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:00,679
had to go use the bathroom, so he goes over

207
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:06,399
there this big old tree and urinates on the tree. Well,

208
00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:09,159
about five minutes to ten minutes later, she goes down

209
00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:12,519
there and she's testing out a new thermal and she's

210
00:13:12,519 --> 00:13:17,240
looking around and she sees something crazy big and she's

211
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:20,799
looking she sees something crazy big, So she called the

212
00:13:21,879 --> 00:13:24,759
gud's wife to come down there and look at it.

213
00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:29,000
And they were looking at it and it was. The

214
00:13:29,039 --> 00:13:32,399
guy's wife knew immediately that's a bigfoot. It was about

215
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,360
forty yards away, and what was throwing them off was

216
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,039
it had peed on the ground by the tree. So

217
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,879
there's an old saying. People have said that a guy

218
00:13:47,919 --> 00:13:51,799
should not pee on a tree in the bigfoots area.

219
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,240
Better to pee out in the open than on a tree,

220
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:00,559
because they mark their territory the way other animals do it. True,

221
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,440
I don't know, but here's this guy five at ten

222
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,039
minutes earlier. It peed on the tree that she was beside,

223
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,200
forty yards away. There was a big foot down there

224
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,279
peeing on a tree. So either it was mimicking it,

225
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,159
or there's something to the fact that guys shouldn't peel

226
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:23,080
on trees, especially if it's getting your mating season. Shouldn't

227
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,639
peel on a tree in their area because they are

228
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:30,000
their area the same way other animals do. So that's

229
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:38,440
one that she saw. Now. Miguel asked yesterday about why

230
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:43,519
did I think that the bigfoot stayed here, and I

231
00:14:43,639 --> 00:14:46,720
said because it was a safe song. Well that's only

232
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:50,440
part of the answer. Let me explain first how this

233
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:55,759
property is set up. Because it's about location, location, location,

234
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:02,600
Our property. It's almost it is ninety percent ninety five

235
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:09,039
percent floodplain. We have four bottoms that run into our

236
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,440
property and the bottom flattens out into a big low

237
00:15:14,679 --> 00:15:19,799
area that's a floodplain. We've got one bottom with high

238
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:23,960
ridges coming in from the northwest with a little stream

239
00:15:24,039 --> 00:15:27,720
in it. We've got one bottom coming in to us

240
00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:32,639
from the south southwest with high ridges on both sides

241
00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:37,559
of it. We've got it spreads out real wide between

242
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,039
the ridges. Then we have another one coming from directly.

243
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,360
It's on the east side of the property, comes in

244
00:15:45,399 --> 00:15:49,399
from the south and it has high ridges on each

245
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,840
side of it. And then we have another where they

246
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,360
all meet and go out goes to the east that

247
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,399
bottom comes in. So we have four big bottoms that

248
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:05,720
converge right here at this one location. So they'd like

249
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:14,080
to make those bottoms travel zones. And what I've learned is, well,

250
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,320
I actually did a study. I know somebody that's heard

251
00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:22,480
a lot of people takes reports of bigfoot or sounds

252
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,919
or sightings in the area, and they he knew the

253
00:16:28,039 --> 00:16:32,200
exact location of five of them, so he told me

254
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,840
where they were. Either they heard a howl or they

255
00:16:34,919 --> 00:16:40,559
heard or they saw one or people reported branches being

256
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:44,480
broke and stuff like that. He told me where they were.

257
00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:47,879
So I was able to get a friend of mine

258
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:53,919
that has a listing. It shows all the bottoms coming

259
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,919
in in the whole area. And what amazed me is

260
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,799
this location we have, it's like the middle of a

261
00:17:02,879 --> 00:17:08,440
wheel in every bottom or the majority of the bottoms

262
00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:11,720
actually come into or converge into some of the bottoms

263
00:17:11,759 --> 00:17:15,559
that's coming into here into this property. And then it's

264
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:19,400
why it's of what would be white flat bottom, perfect

265
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,519
place to hunt. You got all the bottoms coming in,

266
00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:29,279
all the hardwoods down there and everything. And so I

267
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,920
learned that you know what's happening is this is a

268
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,960
major crossroads for them moving from the entire area. You know,

269
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,279
if they're moving from one area to another, they're coming

270
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:47,440
over here through this area. Now, what is also strange,

271
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,680
besides the fact that we didn't see any deer, there

272
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,559
were not been very many deer that was here, and

273
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:55,599
it should have been deer haven. Another thing that was

274
00:17:55,599 --> 00:17:59,960
strange is that when I was a kid, I would

275
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:05,359
always hunt for arawheads. I love to find arrowheads and

276
00:18:05,799 --> 00:18:09,039
pottery from settlers, and I found a bunch all of them.

277
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,640
I learned what the arawheads were used for, or spears

278
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,759
were used for. I learned how they made them and

279
00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:21,599
everything like that. So that was amazing to me. It

280
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,680
was just one of those things where you're looking at

281
00:18:23,759 --> 00:18:26,039
history and you're looking you can see how people made it.

282
00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:31,519
But this location, I've got a place where two creekspeet

283
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,680
and it's got a pile of rocks there. I've never

284
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:40,759
found the first arrowhead or pottery on this place, not

285
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,440
the first piece, not the first one. And this will

286
00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:47,119
be a great place for people to hunt. And a

287
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,839
lot of the Native American tribes say that when they

288
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,519
live in an area where there's bigfoot around, they hunt

289
00:18:55,559 --> 00:18:58,240
one area and they live in an area for the bigfoot.

290
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,240
So I believe there's a possibility this is one of

291
00:19:02,279 --> 00:19:07,279
those examples, especially whenever we found that they had been

292
00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:11,960
here for a long long time and that the people

293
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,319
abandoned the property eight to ten years ago, something happened

294
00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:19,319
to make them leave. But I think there's a possibility

295
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,000
that the reason we don't find any erawheads nor any

296
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,079
pottery is because they wouldn't stay in this area because

297
00:19:26,079 --> 00:19:29,960
they were here. I also believe that's probably why there

298
00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:35,240
was very few deer here because I'm going to use

299
00:19:35,279 --> 00:19:41,000
a fishing a fishing term. If you throw a live

300
00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:44,480
worm in a pond, if the hungry fishes around, they're

301
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,720
gonna come eat it. Well, if you take it here

302
00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:51,559
and put him near where the bigfoot stay and the

303
00:19:51,599 --> 00:19:55,680
bigfoot's hungry, they're gonna come get them. Deer are adverse

304
00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:58,400
to being killed in eight so they're not going to

305
00:19:58,519 --> 00:20:01,880
hang around that area. So I think that's a possibility

306
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,680
why there were so few deer here in the beginning,

307
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,599
that it was like the worm. They were like the

308
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,440
worm to the fish. They were food for the big

309
00:20:11,519 --> 00:20:16,200
foot that was staying here on the property. So I

310
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,920
thought that was unique about that. Another thing that was

311
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,559
weird that I found on the property is I found

312
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:30,200
it during the when the nursery was here. And there

313
00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:33,119
is the banks here on all the creeks are ten

314
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,720
to fifteen foot because of all the water that runs

315
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,480
off into them, they get real high, real quick. There

316
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:48,079
is a dirt cave dug into one of the walls

317
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,799
and it's not made by water. The reason I say

318
00:20:52,839 --> 00:20:57,799
that is the creek turns to the left, so the

319
00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:03,079
water's going to road on the right. This cove is

320
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,720
five foot up the bank. It's about twelve foot tall

321
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,880
bank there about five foot up and it's dug out

322
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,319
and you can't see it. It's right next to a road,

323
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,559
but from the road you can't see it because of

324
00:21:17,599 --> 00:21:22,039
the way the banks are, and it goes way back.

325
00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:24,720
You can't even see the back of it. And there's

326
00:21:24,839 --> 00:21:28,160
roots from trees hanging down at the opening, and you

327
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,440
can see roots in it, and you can see a

328
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,599
trail going up to it. One time I was down there,

329
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,920
crossing the bridge going to the other side of the

330
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,759
creek with my side beside to go to the other

331
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:45,000
side of the property, and I looked down there and

332
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:49,680
I saw a little footprint, a little barefoot human like

333
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,799
footprint going in, going up that little trail into that hole.

334
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,279
Then I also saw one time, when the water was

335
00:21:57,319 --> 00:22:01,400
real low, a footprint on sam on some sand that

336
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,640
was in the middle that became what came uncovered wasn't

337
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:12,599
covered with water anymore. I saw a bigger track there.

338
00:22:13,839 --> 00:22:19,000
And the thing about that is it took me a

339
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,440
while to figure it out. One of the first things

340
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,839
I said whenever I realized that we have bigfoot here

341
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,799
and I'm like, how are their bigfoot here? You know,

342
00:22:28,839 --> 00:22:31,839
you've got roads everywhere. You got some four lane roads

343
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,880
around us. Then one night was on the way home,

344
00:22:36,319 --> 00:22:38,279
me and my wife, and we were going It was

345
00:22:38,319 --> 00:22:42,920
probably eleven thirty at night, and it had rained a

346
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,839
lot the creeks and everything was up a ton, I

347
00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:50,200
mean it's up really high. And my wife was on

348
00:22:50,319 --> 00:22:53,279
the left lane and I was in the right lane,

349
00:22:53,519 --> 00:22:58,920
and I saw something shoot across the road. Now, I've

350
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,400
seen kyotes run, I've seen deer run, I've seen all

351
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,599
kinds of animals run. I've never seen anything move this

352
00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:10,880
fast on all fours. Whatever it was did not have

353
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:16,519
a tail, and she was moving probably seventy miles an hour.

354
00:23:17,279 --> 00:23:20,839
And I swear where it went from her car couldn't

355
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:23,160
have been five yards. I don't know how in the

356
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,039
world she didn't hit it, but it was moving that

357
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,960
fast and it went on down. Well. When I saw

358
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,960
the tracks over here going going towards the direction of

359
00:23:35,039 --> 00:23:39,599
going under this bridge, I realized anywhere they can go anywhere,

360
00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:43,119
as long as there's a culvert under the road or

361
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,279
a creek under the road. Trying to see down below

362
00:23:47,519 --> 00:23:51,119
where a creek is at night going under a road,

363
00:23:51,319 --> 00:23:54,920
you can't see there, so that is their highways. They're

364
00:23:55,599 --> 00:23:59,480
moving under the creek, under the bridges on the creek,

365
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,000
through the culverts, they're moving under there. That's the way

366
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,119
they go so they don't get seen on the road.

367
00:24:05,799 --> 00:24:09,039
The one that crossed that day, if it was a bigfoot,

368
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,599
which I don't know anything else that could move that fast,

369
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,279
and whatever I saw did not have a tail. If

370
00:24:17,319 --> 00:24:21,480
it was one, it didn't go where the creek was

371
00:24:21,519 --> 00:24:24,359
because it was too high, so it went right there

372
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,240
along the edge to run across the road. But that's

373
00:24:28,279 --> 00:24:31,319
another thing that I learned in this whole experience i've

374
00:24:31,319 --> 00:24:38,200
been in that roads, bridges, bridges that have creeks underneath it,

375
00:24:38,279 --> 00:24:42,319
or anything underneath the culverts are their roadway. That's where

376
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,799
they travel at Another thing we found on the Big

377
00:24:46,839 --> 00:24:50,039
Boy on the property was what's called a big boy trail.

378
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,680
Now I don't know if that's just a Southern expression

379
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,480
of what it is, but that's one of the first

380
00:24:57,519 --> 00:25:01,039
things I found was a big boy trail. A big

381
00:25:01,079 --> 00:25:06,720
boy trail is when the trees along the trail are

382
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:12,359
wide enough and tall enough that the biggest big foot

383
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,079
in the area can run through it and not get

384
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,400
hit by a branch. Now, I don't know if you

385
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,839
remember me saying it, but one of the first things

386
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,400
I saw was this trail that was a foot and

387
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,119
a half outside of each of my shoulders and really high,

388
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,839
and everything had been smushed down. That was one of

389
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,960
the big Boy trails. And they tell the limbs that

390
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,359
are crossing the trails and they break them off, they'll

391
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,680
break them on this property. They've got them broken up

392
00:25:41,759 --> 00:25:47,640
to fifteen foot so anything that's fifteen foot tall or

393
00:25:47,839 --> 00:25:52,319
less running through there will not get hit by anything

394
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,559
on these trails. So they called them a big Boy trail.

395
00:25:55,599 --> 00:25:57,599
And we've got three or four of them on this

396
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:04,599
property there, And that's just amazing. When we came to

397
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,119
the place. When we came to this home and had

398
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,960
to do a lot of work to get it at

399
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,799
to where we wanted again, I could tell there wasn't

400
00:26:13,799 --> 00:26:22,400
that many deer here. I unknowingly attracted the attention of

401
00:26:22,519 --> 00:26:26,359
the Bigfoot that we're already here. How did I do that?

402
00:26:27,559 --> 00:26:30,839
I cleaned it all off. I started planting fruit trees.

403
00:26:32,319 --> 00:26:35,440
The next thing I did, besides playing fruit trees, I

404
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:40,279
started feeding all the deer, feeding the birds. And then

405
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,640
I even planted some stuff for the deer because I

406
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,839
was trying to attract the deer to the location so

407
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,640
I could see the deer a walking on a hunt.

408
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,039
Them just wanted to see them, So I panted a

409
00:26:50,039 --> 00:26:56,599
bunch of clover, planted a bunch of fruit trees. Oh

410
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,839
and the funny thing about it is I went out

411
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,880
to the yard two days ago and all my peaches

412
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,920
were gone. Everyone that was on the tree just gone.

413
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,079
And they weren't even totally right. But there wasn't that

414
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,400
many this year, so I guess they decided they weren't

415
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,160
going to take a chance of any get taken, so

416
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,880
they just went ahead and took them. Because every one

417
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,000
of them, all the ones that I had, there was

418
00:27:21,039 --> 00:27:23,160
about eight that I could reach, and all the others

419
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,720
were up higher than that. And I can reach up

420
00:27:25,759 --> 00:27:29,240
about I don't know, I'm six four. My arms are

421
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,319
thirty two inches long, so I can reach probably a

422
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:39,960
foot maybe something like that. But anyway, those in the

423
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,880
actually the fruit trees that we have, especially the peaches.

424
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,559
If we get peach trees, pear trees, apple trees, two

425
00:27:49,559 --> 00:27:52,480
type apple trees. We've got blueberry bushes that we planted

426
00:27:53,319 --> 00:27:55,599
for Simon trees that we planted. There's some fig trees

427
00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:00,319
that were already here. And most times if it's the fruit,

428
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,279
they like it's gone. It soon gets right, it's gone.

429
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:11,039
But I actually learned that I was attracting them by

430
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:16,119
doing all this stuff. I'm bringing food to them unknowingly.

431
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,680
Not only that, but we refilled the water in the

432
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,039
pond had no fish in it. It didn't have enough

433
00:28:22,079 --> 00:28:25,640
water for fish. We put water in the pond. We

434
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,920
stalked them with fish there again, I'm providing food for them.

435
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,000
Then comes to Coop de Gras. Then I was young

436
00:28:35,039 --> 00:28:39,519
and dumb in the Bigfoot world. I believed. I used

437
00:28:39,519 --> 00:28:43,200
to be all into cryptids and stuff like that when

438
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,559
I was young, like to watch the mysteries on TV

439
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,519
and stuff. And I was thinking that, dear, I mean

440
00:28:49,559 --> 00:28:52,599
that Bigfoot was fifty to fifty, that it was real

441
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,160
and there might be still some alive. But I was

442
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,279
thinking it was gonna be on the West coast, you know,

443
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:05,559
Washington State, California, Alaska, Canada, out there. And never thought

444
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,359
that there be any here, and never had a clue

445
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:15,839
that be any here. And so I built a gifting station.

446
00:29:16,039 --> 00:29:19,720
I thought after I realized that the Bigfoot was here.

447
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:22,440
I said, I want to learn about them, and I

448
00:29:22,519 --> 00:29:25,799
put apples out in the beginning, and I was getting good.

449
00:29:26,759 --> 00:29:29,960
I was getting a lot of activity from them, and

450
00:29:30,039 --> 00:29:34,160
I was learning. So I decided, well, let me put

451
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,240
food out for them, just like I do the deer,

452
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,480
just like I do the birds. Because at the time

453
00:29:39,559 --> 00:29:42,279
I just thought it was just a normal animal, which

454
00:29:42,359 --> 00:29:44,039
is not but at the time, I thought it was

455
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,279
just a normal animal. So I built a gifting station

456
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,440
where I put food out for them. Now I will

457
00:29:51,519 --> 00:29:56,880
tell you that what I know now. If I would

458
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,839
have known it then, I never would have done that.

459
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,039
And I don't said just anybody doing it, because it

460
00:30:03,079 --> 00:30:06,279
really depends on the group that's there. I think more

461
00:30:06,359 --> 00:30:11,079
people or most people getting every negative responses if you

462
00:30:11,119 --> 00:30:14,279
don't keep food out there, they go hit on the

463
00:30:14,319 --> 00:30:18,079
house or growl or do stuff like that to try

464
00:30:18,079 --> 00:30:21,319
to get more food. This group has never done that.

465
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,880
I've been extremely lucky, and you never know what one

466
00:30:26,039 --> 00:30:28,480
might move in to take over the territory. So I

467
00:30:28,559 --> 00:30:33,680
tell everybody, don't do it. I did it, and it's worked,

468
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,240
and I hadn't had any negative responses to it. But

469
00:30:38,839 --> 00:30:41,440
don't do it. It's the odds aren't in your favor.

470
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:48,039
One funny thing that happened though, when I had the

471
00:30:48,079 --> 00:30:50,519
gifting station down there, because I was putting stuff down

472
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:52,960
there to find out how they opened it. How did

473
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,119
they eat it? Like the dog food? I take it

474
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:01,359
out of the bag. Speaking of dog food, somebody asked

475
00:31:01,359 --> 00:31:03,480
me a while back, how do you know they like

476
00:31:03,559 --> 00:31:09,519
dog food? I mentioned on the last one that they

477
00:31:09,519 --> 00:31:12,079
took a thirty five pound bag of dog food off

478
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,400
our back porch. They didn't know, they knew it was there,

479
00:31:17,119 --> 00:31:19,599
but they never took it because we had a camera

480
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,240
on the where the cars were, and we had a

481
00:31:23,279 --> 00:31:26,880
camera on the back porch. I didn't take it to

482
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,200
the dog pin because I was taking little, smaller bags

483
00:31:30,759 --> 00:31:34,240
to the dog pen, and when I ran out of them,

484
00:31:34,279 --> 00:31:37,319
I decided I take the bigger bag. I go up

485
00:31:37,359 --> 00:31:41,640
there on a Sunday afternoon, it's gone thirty five pounds.

486
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,400
I asked everybody, did you take the dog food? Know?

487
00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:47,759
And I knew nobody would take the dog food because

488
00:31:47,759 --> 00:31:49,920
that's my job is to do the dogs unless they

489
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:55,720
put it somewhere. So I go, I say, uh huh.

490
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,559
If they got it, I got a picture of them.

491
00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:02,519
I go look at the cameras, and both of the

492
00:32:02,559 --> 00:32:08,640
cameras the batteries were dead. They went dead on Friday night,

493
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:13,200
so I think sometimes Friday or sometimes Saturday, they somehow

494
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:18,759
know when cameras aren't working. And they took the bag

495
00:32:18,799 --> 00:32:21,920
of dogfood off, but they did give me back for it.

496
00:32:23,559 --> 00:32:26,720
They took down by where the gifting station was and

497
00:32:26,799 --> 00:32:31,839
where that big boy trail is left a poop. I'm

498
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,839
talking about the biggest poop you've ever seen. This thing

499
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,319
is three quarters of size around of a print, and

500
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,519
my foot's thirteen and a half inches long. And it

501
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,640
wasn't straight, but it was as long as thirteen and

502
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,599
a half inches, so it was probably more like fourteen

503
00:32:49,599 --> 00:32:52,279
and a half to fifteen inches long. It would have

504
00:32:52,319 --> 00:32:57,079
stopped up your toilet for days. And I said, oh, okay,

505
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,640
so you're gifting me back for the dog food you

506
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,079
took all off my back porch. I see what you're doing.

507
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:09,599
Then later they want you to take their gifts. If

508
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,799
you take their gifts, that shows that you're showing them respect.

509
00:33:13,799 --> 00:33:15,519
And they want you to take their gifts. Now that's

510
00:33:15,519 --> 00:33:18,920
something that I wouldn't take. But that's the only gift

511
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,240
I wouldn't take from them, And be honest with you,

512
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,319
but a friend of mine goes down to fix the

513
00:33:25,359 --> 00:33:29,759
pump every time he would get stopped up. And he

514
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,799
was down there near the pump trying to do some

515
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,039
work on it, and there were two huge poops there

516
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,400
sitting at the right there where the pump was. And

517
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,720
he called me and he said, hey, do you have

518
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,799
any really big dogs here or something? And I said no.

519
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,119
He said, wether They've got two of the biggest poops

520
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:55,039
I've ever seen in my life are here at this pump,

521
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:01,359
and I don't know what could have made this. As

522
00:34:01,359 --> 00:34:05,079
he's driving out, he calls me back and he says, hey,

523
00:34:06,079 --> 00:34:09,440
I don't know what's going on. But on the trail

524
00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:12,000
driving out, it's only one way in, one way out,

525
00:34:12,679 --> 00:34:16,159
the little hump in the middle of the trail where

526
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:21,360
the SIBE side tires go is a new poop still smoking.

527
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:26,239
He said, I don't know it's one here. It's fresh,

528
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,960
it's still smoking. And I said, I think I got

529
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,000
an idea, but it's no problem. Don't worry about it.

530
00:34:33,039 --> 00:34:36,079
Everything would be good. The reason I say that is

531
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,440
originally when they gifted us the first two boulders, we

532
00:34:41,519 --> 00:34:43,719
didn't take them because we didn't realize it was a

533
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,519
gift from them. They moved them to make sure we

534
00:34:46,599 --> 00:34:49,239
knew it was a gift for them. So I think

535
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,559
that they were pooping over there, wanted us to take

536
00:34:52,599 --> 00:34:56,039
their gift, and that's why they left them one in

537
00:34:56,039 --> 00:34:57,920
the middle of the road, still smoking, to make sure

538
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,800
that he knew that it was their gifts. Of course

539
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:03,840
know anything about it, but like I said, that is

540
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:08,039
a strange gift, and we never took it. What's really

541
00:35:08,159 --> 00:35:11,400
funnier about that is they've never I've never found a

542
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,760
poof from them again. So evidently they must think I

543
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,360
really don't like it, because they're doing it not on

544
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,639
the property or not where I've seen it. They're doing

545
00:35:19,679 --> 00:35:26,519
it somewhere else. But unknowingly I was attracting them. I

546
00:35:26,519 --> 00:35:30,239
was drawing deer in, I was drawing, I was putting fish,

547
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:36,280
putting fruit, and then I put a gifting station with

548
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:41,559
even more food. I think the original family group, I

549
00:35:41,559 --> 00:35:47,159
think they made this a nursery site because of all

550
00:35:47,159 --> 00:35:50,559
the food here. It was already a safe zone for them,

551
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:58,280
but now it's God. Now it's God. All this food,

552
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,440
all this food's here for him. They don't have to

553
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,199
go anywhere, and they were here year round. The only

554
00:36:04,559 --> 00:36:07,760
time that they would leave here is in the winter

555
00:36:08,159 --> 00:36:15,280
because our bottom is all hardwoods and in the winter

556
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:20,440
time all the leaves will fall off. So what they

557
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,800
would do is it was six hundred acres to the

558
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:29,519
north office. It had pine and hardwood mix. They would

559
00:36:29,679 --> 00:36:32,519
move there and stay there during the daytime because nobody

560
00:36:32,599 --> 00:36:35,760
hunted on that six hundred acres. There were some people

561
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,480
hungting around us, but they would come back here every

562
00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:42,119
night because I still see their footprints in the yard

563
00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:45,760
at night and I'm basically button up against the six

564
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:50,599
hundred acres. So they would in the winter, they would

565
00:36:50,639 --> 00:36:55,079
go there at night, I mean in the daytime to

566
00:36:55,199 --> 00:37:00,519
sleep and come through here at night. But that's the

567
00:37:00,559 --> 00:37:02,519
only time they would move. But they still were here

568
00:37:02,559 --> 00:37:05,519
every night. They just would sleep over there in the daytime.

569
00:37:06,559 --> 00:37:12,880
So I thought that was rather unique thing to find out. Oh,

570
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:22,960
another funny thing happened about the gifting station. I don't

571
00:37:23,119 --> 00:37:25,320
name them. I don't name the group that was here.

572
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,039
The original group there were four. There was an adult male,

573
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:34,320
there's adult female, there was a juvenile, and then there

574
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:41,199
was a young one. But I didn't name them. But

575
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:45,599
the thing about not naming them is you don't build

576
00:37:45,639 --> 00:37:50,280
a relationship with them, and I didn't. First off, you

577
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,599
got to see something a lot. And even though I

578
00:37:53,639 --> 00:37:56,599
saw them four times and I saw glimpses of them

579
00:37:56,599 --> 00:37:59,719
on other times, I didn't get enough to give them

580
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,119
an But one when it was they made it a

581
00:38:03,199 --> 00:38:06,920
nursery side one I did give a name, and this

582
00:38:07,039 --> 00:38:10,199
was a little young one, and I named it Pigpen

583
00:38:11,599 --> 00:38:19,039
because I noticed this one young juvenile that was at

584
00:38:19,079 --> 00:38:23,159
the nursery. I noticed he would go on a little

585
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,239
hole into the woods on all fours. It's different than

586
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,519
where the others were going. And one day it had

587
00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:31,239
rained for about three or four days, and I could

588
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,639
see his footprints real clear. Walking over to it, I said,

589
00:38:35,159 --> 00:38:37,559
I'm going to check this out. I'm going to follow

590
00:38:37,639 --> 00:38:42,159
him to see where this one's going, see what's going on.

591
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,480
And it's only like twenty five yards to the creek

592
00:38:45,519 --> 00:38:48,400
from there, so I didn't have far to go. You know,

593
00:38:48,639 --> 00:38:50,280
I won't go the other side of the creek, but

594
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,440
i'd follow it down to the creek. I go through it,

595
00:38:53,519 --> 00:38:57,000
and I could see his footprints clear as day. Because

596
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,599
he was sliding a little bit on the leaves and

597
00:39:00,599 --> 00:39:03,159
it was making the leaves go to the side, and

598
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,480
I see it following his footprints. I get down there

599
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,360
there is a log laying on the ground. Now, this

600
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,559
log had been there for a long time, and it

601
00:39:12,679 --> 00:39:18,280
had moss on the log. It would step. I saw

602
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,880
where it stepped over the log and sat down because

603
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,760
there was two footprints in front of it where that

604
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,679
I could tell the leaves had been mashed down in

605
00:39:27,679 --> 00:39:34,360
front of it. And there on that huge log there

606
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:39,880
were two perfect prints of butt cheeks. Their butt cheeks

607
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:45,199
were on had rubbed the moss off the log and

608
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,159
in front of them to some of the stuff I

609
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:55,199
put out, like crackers, sweet and salty, granola bars, stuff

610
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,320
like that was right in front of them. And the

611
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,800
creek was right in front of that. And then there

612
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,440
was a huge vine that went up in a tree

613
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,599
that was right next to where he was sitting. So

614
00:40:06,599 --> 00:40:08,880
I'm thinking, hey, this is perfect. He got pitt Nick

615
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,320
right here. He throws this trash right there, and if

616
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,840
anything comes to get him, he can climb up this

617
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,320
vine like it's nothing, got it easy get away. But

618
00:40:20,119 --> 00:40:23,159
looking at it and everything, I just started laughing. I said,

619
00:40:23,199 --> 00:40:25,719
that one's name Pegpen because he's here making a mess

620
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:30,079
down here. That's Pigpen. And the funny thing about it was,

621
00:40:31,119 --> 00:40:35,760
had somebody ask me, what did you smell it? I said, huh,

622
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,039
did you smell where the butt cheeks were? I said, no,

623
00:40:39,159 --> 00:40:43,239
I didn't smell where the butt cheeks were. But it

624
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,920
was funny that I could tell from the butt cheeks

625
00:40:46,519 --> 00:40:49,639
and they had to be all muscle because there was

626
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,360
a little bit of moss in between it. In between

627
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,199
the butt cheeks, a little bit of moss. But I'm

628
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,000
thinking when that must have been a female that was

629
00:40:59,039 --> 00:41:04,079
sitting here. By everything I saw, it must have been

630
00:41:04,119 --> 00:41:08,480
a female. But I thought that was extremely funny that

631
00:41:08,519 --> 00:41:12,320
I did name one in his little peekpen and what

632
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,119
it was doing making a mess down there. Now, I'll

633
00:41:16,159 --> 00:41:18,440
tell you about some of the gifts they've given us.

634
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:22,840
They have given us so many amazing gifts because they

635
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:27,760
know I liked the gifts, and so they give us gifts.

636
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,239
The first one I'll tell you about, I called it

637
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:36,719
the dog. My wife had this dog that was sitting

638
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,320
down and it held this bone that said welcome on it,

639
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,920
and she had two of them we had one by

640
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:47,800
the back door, and we had an extra one when

641
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,559
my wife decided she wanted to go and put it

642
00:41:50,599 --> 00:41:57,000
on the trail. On the trail going across the creek

643
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,880
over there on the side there was a little flat

644
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,360
part and so that the friends and neighbors can see

645
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:08,679
when we go across there, you know, see the bone

646
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:13,000
and everything and see it. And it was real cute

647
00:42:13,679 --> 00:42:16,079
that I had to tell her, I said. She says,

648
00:42:16,079 --> 00:42:18,079
I always burst her bubble. Well I did it again,

649
00:42:19,119 --> 00:42:23,320
I said, babe, I said, you know that they feel

650
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,840
like this side over here is their area. I said,

651
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,360
you know that right, And she goes, yeah. I said

652
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,800
that dog that says it didn't it said welcome on it.

653
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,440
It said welcome on the bone. I said, that dog

654
00:42:38,559 --> 00:42:42,039
is going to disappear. They're going to take it. I'm

655
00:42:42,039 --> 00:42:44,519
telling you they're going to take it. She goes, they

656
00:42:44,559 --> 00:42:47,039
better not. I said, I'm telling you. I promise you

657
00:42:47,039 --> 00:42:50,400
they're going to take that dog. She said, they better not.

658
00:42:51,159 --> 00:42:54,599
I said, okay. We went back about a week later.

659
00:42:55,519 --> 00:42:59,320
Guess what the dog is gone, gone, gone, bye bye.

660
00:42:59,519 --> 00:43:03,719
The water meant high and in the middle there was

661
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,679
sand in the middle right there where we drove the

662
00:43:06,679 --> 00:43:09,039
siba side over because it's close to the creek, so

663
00:43:09,079 --> 00:43:11,840
there's a pile of sand there. On top of that

664
00:43:12,039 --> 00:43:18,239
sand was a rock made of iron and sand mixture

665
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,920
that was in the shape of a pyramid, and they

666
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:28,599
had grew lines from the pointy front to the back,

667
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:35,519
pointing where the dog was. She goes, what's that? I said,

668
00:43:35,519 --> 00:43:39,800
that's your presence. She goes what I said, you see

669
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,119
where it's putting, Yeah, where my dog was. I said,

670
00:43:43,639 --> 00:43:48,239
that is your gift for the dog. If they take

671
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,440
something of value, they think you value it, or they

672
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,559
think it's a value, they're going to give you something

673
00:43:53,559 --> 00:43:58,559
and returned for it. This rock with this engraving on

674
00:43:58,639 --> 00:44:05,519
it is your present from them for the dog. She goes,

675
00:44:05,559 --> 00:44:09,000
I want my dog back. I said, well, it's done.

676
00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:12,719
It's done. Your dog is gone. You can forget about that.

677
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,599
That was one of the most intriguing ones that we had.

678
00:44:19,679 --> 00:44:24,519
Another one that was totally beautiful. When it was the

679
00:44:24,599 --> 00:44:26,880
nursery site. They would look in the window and watch

680
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,880
the TV. What's the TV now? Down below the TV?

681
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:36,119
I had a picture frame made with all the arrows

682
00:44:36,159 --> 00:44:40,199
I found when I was growing up. They were on

683
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,360
that picture frame right on the bottom of the fireplace.

684
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,559
We got where the TV is is on the mantel

685
00:44:46,599 --> 00:44:50,159
above the fireplace, so it was on the left side

686
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,880
of the fireplace, so they could see it when they

687
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,960
look in the window, the windows of bay window. Well,

688
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,840
one day we came back to the house from work

689
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:07,360
and they're on the banister of the back deck. Guess

690
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:13,400
what it is. It is a beautiful quartz rock with

691
00:45:13,599 --> 00:45:17,559
an inclusion of an orange inclusion in it in the middle,

692
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,679
like where the heart would be, and it was in

693
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,159
the shape of an arawhead. Now it was not an arawhead.

694
00:45:24,519 --> 00:45:26,920
It was not made by Indians. There were no grooves

695
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,800
or chips in it, but the shape of it was

696
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,360
the shape of an arawhead and it was left there

697
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:37,360
for us. I washed it off and it was the

698
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:41,280
most beautiful thing I've ever seen because it was made

699
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,119
of quartz. But I call that my et That's my

700
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:49,159
et rock because the et had the heart the globe,

701
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,119
so that little thing in the middle looked reminded me

702
00:45:52,159 --> 00:45:55,119
of the heart glow. So that was my et rock.

703
00:45:55,199 --> 00:45:57,840
They gave us as a gift for watching the TV.

704
00:45:59,079 --> 00:46:01,039
But that's not the only only one they gave us

705
00:46:01,199 --> 00:46:04,000
when they were looking in the window. The second thing

706
00:46:04,039 --> 00:46:13,639
they gave us was a sandstone rock. Now, every Thanksgiving

707
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:18,119
we put up our Christmas tree and decorate it and everything.

708
00:46:18,119 --> 00:46:22,679
Then we take it down the week after Christmas. So

709
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,320
we had our Christmas tree up, and it was about

710
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:30,119
two weeks after the Christmas tree was up. There was

711
00:46:30,159 --> 00:46:35,159
a sandstone rock. And I don't know. I don't know

712
00:46:35,199 --> 00:46:37,480
how they do this stuff that they're doing. I have

713
00:46:37,599 --> 00:46:40,360
no clue. They make some of the most beautiful gifts

714
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:45,679
with no tools, or at least it may be with

715
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,840
rocks that are harder than they found, or I don't

716
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:52,360
know how they do it. But they had made grooves

717
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,039
in it and it looked like a Christmas tree, and

718
00:46:56,119 --> 00:46:59,119
they left it on the banister for us. They were

719
00:46:59,199 --> 00:47:03,920
letting us know that they loved our Christmas tree. It

720
00:47:04,039 --> 00:47:07,360
was one of the other beautiful rocks that they left

721
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:11,159
us for looking in the tree. The thing that they

722
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:15,800
left us the most though, was quartz. And it was

723
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,360
really neat because I don't know where they're getting the

724
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:24,159
quarts from, but there's quartz here is not uh, it's

725
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:30,440
not in bunches anywhere, but they would they're in encased

726
00:47:30,599 --> 00:47:36,000
in rock, and then it was they just they get

727
00:47:36,039 --> 00:47:39,599
they break them open. I don't know if they're breaking

728
00:47:39,599 --> 00:47:42,239
them with another rock on top of the rock, or

729
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:43,960
if they're doing it with their hands. I don't know

730
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,400
how to do it. Every quartz that they've given us

731
00:47:48,039 --> 00:47:51,320
they've broken open. They put some in our front yard,

732
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,719
they put some on our back deck, they put some

733
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,559
down at the gifting station. They put some over by

734
00:47:58,599 --> 00:48:02,840
the pump that's pumping water into the pond. But they've

735
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:06,320
given us a lot of quartz, so quartz must be

736
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,519
really special to them. And a lot of people find

737
00:48:09,639 --> 00:48:14,719
quartz in the areas where they are, so some people

738
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,480
say it's an energy source for them. I'm not sure

739
00:48:18,519 --> 00:48:22,079
about that, but I know that they really love quartz

740
00:48:23,559 --> 00:48:26,559
and they gifted to us a lot. The next thing

741
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:35,320
is footprints. Now this isn't footprints on the ground. They

742
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:41,840
have taken rocks and made them the shape of a footprint.

743
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,400
They've done two of them. One of them actually has

744
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,400
like a base, so when you sat on the table,

745
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,760
it kind of stands up a little bit like you

746
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,800
would have a picture that's leaning standing up on something.

747
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,320
It's kind of made that way, and it's got a footprint.

748
00:49:00,119 --> 00:49:04,639
They've rubbed the outline down around it and given it

749
00:49:04,679 --> 00:49:06,719
to us. That one, to me, is one of the

750
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,000
most amazing ones because they ground the bottle down to

751
00:49:09,039 --> 00:49:13,079
make the base. They ground the top down to make

752
00:49:13,119 --> 00:49:17,760
the shape of the footprim another one, the whole rock

753
00:49:18,039 --> 00:49:21,519
is the shape of a foot and it actually has

754
00:49:21,559 --> 00:49:26,239
a line on it that makes me think it's the

755
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,480
mid tarsal break on it. And that one was really

756
00:49:29,519 --> 00:49:34,079
crazy because I found it and several others together. I

757
00:49:34,119 --> 00:49:39,920
hadn't put any food out for quite a while, and

758
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,039
as I went to put something out, I started on

759
00:49:43,079 --> 00:49:48,159
the trail and I saw these two little bitty cardinal

760
00:49:48,159 --> 00:49:53,000
feathers where each of the tires go, and it was pointing,

761
00:49:53,079 --> 00:49:55,599
and there's only two feathers. That one like one was

762
00:49:55,599 --> 00:49:58,880
all torn up. There were two feathers. There was one

763
00:49:59,199 --> 00:50:02,559
in one track and one in where the other wheel is,

764
00:50:03,159 --> 00:50:06,519
and they're all pointing down that trail. And what I

765
00:50:06,599 --> 00:50:09,880
found is right there when they give us a gift.

766
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,000
It's on top, just laying on top of the ground.

767
00:50:12,039 --> 00:50:14,880
All the others have been not pushed them into the ground,

768
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,599
but this was just laying on top of the ground.

769
00:50:18,599 --> 00:50:22,039
I think they were trying to bribe me this time

770
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:27,639
to give them more food, because there was usually only

771
00:50:27,639 --> 00:50:30,440
get one gift out of time, but this time there

772
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:35,320
were five gifts. There. There were the two little feathers

773
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,679
from the cardinal. There was a huge piece of quartz

774
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,199
that had been broken right there and given to me.

775
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,760
There was one that was the perfect shape of a

776
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:48,760
footprint with the what let's say, the mid tarsal braid

777
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:53,039
going across it. And then there was another rock that

778
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:58,679
was in the shape of something. I hadn't figured out

779
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:02,760
what it was. It looks it looks weird, but I

780
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,840
could tell it had been. It had been the rock

781
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:11,519
had been manipulated. It's something that grounded down to make

782
00:51:11,559 --> 00:51:15,760
it that shape. So I think that they were and

783
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,280
that happened this year. That happened been too long ago,

784
00:51:19,199 --> 00:51:22,000
and I think that they did that so that we

785
00:51:22,039 --> 00:51:29,360
would give them some more food. So also, they've given

786
00:51:29,559 --> 00:51:32,800
me a lot of rocks that are grooved on the side,

787
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:36,320
as if somebody had used it as a pulley to

788
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:40,039
put a rope on it and to pull things up it.

789
00:51:40,039 --> 00:51:44,079
It's grooved on the side of the rock on all sides.

790
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,159
But it can be a rope that did it because

791
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,760
when I was investigating and looking at it and trying

792
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,239
to figure out how is this made, what could it

793
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:58,159
be used for? I couldn't ever figure it out. But

794
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,079
I know it wasn't a rope, because the rope it's

795
00:52:01,119 --> 00:52:04,800
gonna groove in the corners that take the most stress

796
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,880
from a rope or whatever's doing it down further than

797
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,519
the others, and it was It wasn't down further. It

798
00:52:12,559 --> 00:52:15,039
was actually out a little bit more than the others.

799
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:20,119
So it wasn't that. I don't know, but I can

800
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:23,360
tell you it makes a really good handhold when I

801
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,239
hold those rocks, and some of them are in the

802
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,519
shape of a triangle, like they can use it to

803
00:52:27,639 --> 00:52:32,480
hit something with, maybe break something open. Maybe they could

804
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,079
hold it in their hand, hit something on the back,

805
00:52:36,199 --> 00:52:40,199
break its back. I'm not sure what it was made for,

806
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,599
but they've left me several of those, and I'm still,

807
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:46,519
you know, it's one of those things, still trying to

808
00:52:46,559 --> 00:52:50,079
figure out exactly what they use it for, how they

809
00:52:50,119 --> 00:52:54,400
did it. Sometimes these things just dump you. I mean,

810
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:59,159
even when you figure out one thing, it opens up

811
00:52:59,199 --> 00:53:02,480
three or four more questions. They always say that's the

812
00:53:02,559 --> 00:53:06,400
rabbit hole when you've been around them as long as

813
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,679
I have. It's not a rabbit hole. I promise you

814
00:53:09,679 --> 00:53:13,360
it's not a rabbit hole. It's an ant heel. There

815
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:17,159
is so many more tunnels to an ant hell than

816
00:53:17,159 --> 00:53:21,239
to a rabbit hole. That is crazy, but that makes

817
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,679
me feel like I'm in an ant hell because I

818
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,360
have so many questions that are just sitting there trying

819
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:33,159
to figure out the answers to. Somebody one time asked me, said,

820
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:37,360
if I was going out camping, what can I do

821
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,639
to attract them so maybe we could see one on

822
00:53:39,639 --> 00:53:44,679
the thermal? I said, well, the two things that really

823
00:53:44,679 --> 00:53:49,199
weren't the best is have a campfire, have kids or

824
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:53,440
women sitting there talking and laughing. It seems like the

825
00:53:53,559 --> 00:53:57,119
laughter of kids and women attract them to come look

826
00:53:57,199 --> 00:54:02,159
see what's going on. Or music. Now I found out

827
00:54:02,159 --> 00:54:06,280
the ones here they really love music. But the thing

828
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,559
about the music is they don't like the hard rock

829
00:54:09,679 --> 00:54:16,320
or anything like that. They like them trying to think

830
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:21,039
the harmony type music. Like the favorite they like here

831
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,320
is home Free. It's an Acabella band, But they do

832
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:28,760
have a beat boxer. They blend in so well, but

833
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,719
the beat boxer sounds sometimes a little bit like a

834
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:36,239
tree dog, and it seems to bring them in. It

835
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,000
brings to in fact, when it was a nursery site,

836
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,000
when I would play some on the back porch late

837
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,599
at night. I could go the next morning on some

838
00:54:44,639 --> 00:54:46,480
of the trails at the edge of the trees, and

839
00:54:46,519 --> 00:54:48,800
I know I can find tracks there, and I go

840
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,639
look sier enough, there be tracks there where one was

841
00:54:50,679 --> 00:54:54,840
standing that night listening. They love the music. And I

842
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,400
tell you there's two things I can tell you that

843
00:54:57,599 --> 00:55:02,159
happened to me that let me know for sure they

844
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:07,840
love music. One thing is one night I played some

845
00:55:08,039 --> 00:55:11,760
on the back porch and left it there till about midnight,

846
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,960
and I went to bed about two two thirty in

847
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,519
the morning, I went to the bathroom and I was

848
00:55:19,559 --> 00:55:27,519
gonna open my iPad to listen to a football podcast.

849
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:34,800
And I went and hit the podcast and it was

850
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,519
still hooked up to the speaker, and we had never

851
00:55:37,599 --> 00:55:39,280
turned the speaker off, so it was still hooked up

852
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:44,639
to the speaker, and it started playing the podcast. Well

853
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:49,119
all of a sudden, and I'm sorry, let me go back. Well,

854
00:55:49,119 --> 00:55:51,119
as soon as I opened it up, some of the

855
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,599
music started playing because it was still on that one.

856
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,119
So it started playing a song, and I did listen

857
00:55:56,159 --> 00:55:59,840
to the rest of that song because I liked that song.

858
00:56:00,679 --> 00:56:03,599
But then after that, I when I went to the podcast,

859
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,360
all of a sudden, right there by our back porch,

860
00:56:08,679 --> 00:56:11,000
right in front of where we park, we have these

861
00:56:11,199 --> 00:56:16,400
huge trash cans. All of a sudden, I hear bam

862
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:18,840
on one of the trash cans. It actually dent at

863
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:24,800
the top end. It's how hard the hit was. I said, uh, oh,

864
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,840
it wants more music. So then I put on some

865
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,079
more music and just let it go because I knew

866
00:56:30,079 --> 00:56:32,480
that that was saying I don't like your podcast, I

867
00:56:32,559 --> 00:56:36,239
want the music. So it was kind of a funny

868
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:39,079
thing that I got the message and I let them

869
00:56:39,079 --> 00:56:42,360
listen to as long as the battery was working on

870
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,960
the speaker. They heard music for the rest of the night.

871
00:56:46,119 --> 00:56:48,880
But that was really funny. They have ways to let

872
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,360
me know things, and I'm able to pick up on

873
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,119
a lot of it. Do I pick up on all

874
00:56:53,159 --> 00:56:55,960
of it? No, I don't think anybody can pick up

875
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,960
on all of it, but I pick up on a

876
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,960
lot of it. Now. The second thing that I know

877
00:57:04,119 --> 00:57:08,239
how I know they liked music was we had some

878
00:57:08,599 --> 00:57:12,800
relatives coming into town and there were we were trying

879
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:14,360
to clean up. Me and my wife were trying to

880
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:18,119
clean up the living room, in the kitchen, stuff like that.

881
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,400
So we turned on some country music on the TV

882
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:28,159
to listen to while we were cleaning everything up. On YouTube,

883
00:57:28,239 --> 00:57:32,800
in between songs, there's a pause. All of a sudden,

884
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:37,159
there was a pause, and on our front door starts

885
00:57:37,159 --> 00:57:41,760
going help. I could tell it was a fingernail. I

886
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,679
knew what it was. It was during the nursery time.

887
00:57:44,719 --> 00:57:48,280
It was either a juvenile or a young bigfoot tapping

888
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:55,079
on the door. Another song came on. When it was finished,

889
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:02,519
when there was no sound, it was almost like he

890
00:58:02,639 --> 00:58:05,400
was saying, play more music, play more music, and play

891
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,079
more music, and we did for a long time. When

892
00:58:07,119 --> 00:58:09,840
we just laughed. We just kept laughing. We didn't try

893
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:13,880
to go look, you know, we just kept laughing because

894
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:17,079
every time, every time the song was stopping, it starts

895
00:58:17,079 --> 00:58:19,920
happening again. And it did that for about six or

896
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:25,119
seven songs, and it was absolutely hilarious because it wanted

897
00:58:25,119 --> 00:58:30,079
to hear more songs so bad. But oh and one

898
00:58:30,079 --> 00:58:33,599
of the other things though, we put a xylophone. We've

899
00:58:33,599 --> 00:58:36,159
tried all kinds of things gifting them just to see

900
00:58:36,159 --> 00:58:39,159
what they would do with it. We put a xylophone

901
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,920
down there one time with it's got the little woodstick

902
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:44,280
where you hit the different panels and it makes noise.

903
00:58:45,199 --> 00:58:49,480
We put a xylophone down there one time, and the

904
00:58:49,599 --> 00:58:53,559
xylophone makes really loud sound, and I was hoping that

905
00:58:53,599 --> 00:58:55,800
I could hear them from the house sometimes if one

906
00:58:55,880 --> 00:59:01,239
was down there playing with it. Well, evidently an older

907
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:06,239
one or a movie critic. Bigfoot didn't like the xylophone.

908
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,199
It took the little wooden stick and then the big

909
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,800
plastic containers of food was in. It took one of

910
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:18,920
those turned it upside down on the xylophone so none

911
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,159
of them could hit it unless they took that off.

912
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,360
Of course, they are took the stick, so you had

913
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,400
to tap it with your fingernail or something. But I

914
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,840
think it was I think you did not want the

915
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:33,679
young ones playing on it so that others could hear them,

916
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,719
hear the sound and know that they're down there. But

917
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:40,280
I thought that was funny because I always said, well,

918
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:45,119
we got a movie critic here, and Christy was my wife,

919
00:59:45,239 --> 00:59:48,079
was the last one that hit it, so maybe she

920
00:59:48,079 --> 00:59:50,960
didn't like the tune. She was playing or something. But anyway,

921
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,000
they turned it upside down right on top of the

922
00:59:53,079 --> 00:59:59,639
xylophone so nobody could play it again. Sometimes people ask me,

923
01:00:00,639 --> 01:00:03,239
what's the easiest way to keep them away from your

924
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:07,360
house if you think you have them around? Said, it's simple, cheapest,

925
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:11,239
and most inexpensive, is put trail cameras around your house.

926
01:00:11,679 --> 01:00:15,079
They'll avoid them. Trail cameras. They can see the infrared.

927
01:00:15,119 --> 01:00:17,960
They're gonna stay away from it. They're not gonna get

928
01:00:18,559 --> 01:00:22,239
in the infrared. And I said, the second thing is

929
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:26,280
light it up. Take everything and light it up. Put

930
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,119
lights out there. It's gonna cost a little bit more money,

931
01:00:29,159 --> 01:00:31,559
but they will. They don't like to go in the

932
01:00:31,599 --> 01:00:34,519
lights at night. And I have an example of that.

933
01:00:36,679 --> 01:00:38,599
I was telling you how they get the fruit off

934
01:00:38,599 --> 01:00:41,920
the trees all the time, and we build a pad

935
01:00:42,159 --> 01:00:44,599
in the backyard with a little fire pit in the

936
01:00:44,639 --> 01:00:49,599
middle of it, and we had lights that would light

937
01:00:49,639 --> 01:00:54,880
it up. One of the lights lit up their favorite

938
01:00:54,880 --> 01:01:01,280
peach tree and one year that was just loaded with peaches.

939
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:05,880
I'm talking about it probably had eighty two one hundred

940
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,079
peaches on that one by itself, and it was a

941
01:01:08,079 --> 01:01:15,039
young tree. Still. All of a sudden one day on Wednesday,

942
01:01:15,119 --> 01:01:17,639
the middle of the week, I go out there. This

943
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:24,800
light pole is twelve to fifteen foot tall. The light

944
01:01:25,239 --> 01:01:29,159
had been pointed instead of out to light up, the

945
01:01:29,159 --> 01:01:32,880
whole thing points straight down at the ground. It had

946
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,159
been turned to wear it straight down on the ground.

947
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:40,440
So the guy that put it up there came over

948
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,639
and I said, hey, let me ask you something that

949
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,880
light up there. Could wind or something have blown that down.

950
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,119
He goes, heck no, He said. The only way that

951
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:53,679
turned is if you loosen it up and turn it,

952
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:57,840
or if it hits the ground and turns it. He said,

953
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:01,039
that thing's got more forced than the hurricane force winds

954
01:02:01,079 --> 01:02:04,199
wouldn't turn it. That's the only one that was turned.

955
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:07,880
It was turned down to the ground so it wouldn't

956
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:10,079
shine out there where that peach tree is, so we

957
01:02:10,079 --> 01:02:12,400
wouldn't see him out there, or it wouldn't hurt his

958
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,880
eyes one way or the other. But that light got

959
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:20,559
turned straight down to the ground, and I thought that

960
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:26,079
was just crazy. Oh and here's something else. The strains

961
01:02:26,119 --> 01:02:31,719
that happened about that tree. I went there one time,

962
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:35,840
and usually when they take the peaches, they're just gone,

963
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:40,519
no pits, no nothing. It is totally gone, and I

964
01:02:40,559 --> 01:02:45,880
have gear nading around it with the tea posts holding

965
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:50,840
it up six foot high, and then I've got fabric

966
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:54,840
on the ground so that the grass can get up

967
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:59,199
and take all the nutrients from the tree. But on

968
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:03,000
this one time, I saw ten piece pits down on

969
01:03:03,039 --> 01:03:06,079
the ground in it and it was fresh, it was

970
01:03:06,079 --> 01:03:08,840
made the night before. It was not just colored at all,

971
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,719
It was still, but all the pulp was sunk down.

972
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:16,760
No ants ever get on that tree, but it was

973
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:21,519
just all gone. So I'm driving by it and I

974
01:03:21,519 --> 01:03:23,159
see them there, and I stopped and show them to

975
01:03:23,239 --> 01:03:26,480
my wife, and she goes, wow, that's weird. We've never

976
01:03:26,519 --> 01:03:30,840
had that happen before, said, no, win had that happen before.

977
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,159
I think they're letting me know that they want some more.

978
01:03:33,639 --> 01:03:36,000
They want to plant another one of these trees. They

979
01:03:36,159 --> 01:03:39,920
liked this peach tree because we had different type flavored peaches.

980
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,199
And I said, I need to get over there. Because

981
01:03:44,239 --> 01:03:46,719
what I did was I took the label off the

982
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:51,079
tight tree off and put it and zip tied it

983
01:03:51,239 --> 01:03:55,880
around the tea post, so if I ever lighted one

984
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:59,519
more than the other, I could see which one it was.

985
01:04:00,039 --> 01:04:08,000
By more of that time well, I said, I need

986
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:09,920
to go get that thing and look at it so

987
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:12,199
I see what type it is, so I can order

988
01:04:12,199 --> 01:04:14,159
a tree, because I don't know if you've messed around

989
01:04:14,199 --> 01:04:16,320
with peach pist trying to grow there's a lot of

990
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:19,639
work in trying to go a peach tree from a pit. Now,

991
01:04:19,639 --> 01:04:22,360
I wasn't going to go through that. I buy another tree.

992
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:26,519
I didn't go over there, though, and I just told

993
01:04:26,519 --> 01:04:28,199
my wife, I said, I need to go over there

994
01:04:28,199 --> 01:04:32,119
and get that tag off to see what kind of

995
01:04:32,159 --> 01:04:35,679
peach tree that is. But we didn't do it. I

996
01:04:35,679 --> 01:04:38,480
said I'll come back and get it later, which I

997
01:04:38,559 --> 01:04:42,519
never did. The next weekend, we're driving around the trail.

998
01:04:44,599 --> 01:04:46,760
All of a sudden there was grass in the middle

999
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:50,000
off right beside that peach tree. There was grass in

1000
01:04:50,079 --> 01:04:52,800
the middle of the road, a big clump of grass,

1001
01:04:53,159 --> 01:04:58,079
And on top of that grass is the tag for

1002
01:04:58,119 --> 01:05:03,920
the peach tree. Now you may say wind blew it there,

1003
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:08,159
and well, wind blows the other direction typically, and we

1004
01:05:08,199 --> 01:05:10,840
hadn't had anything weird come from me in directions, so

1005
01:05:12,119 --> 01:05:15,679
that rules the possibility of that out somewhat. But then

1006
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:20,159
I said, I wonder if it just got you know,

1007
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:23,159
if somehow it just blew off. Let me go check

1008
01:05:23,199 --> 01:05:25,880
the other trees. Every one of the other trees still

1009
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:28,800
had the label on the tree of the type. It

1010
01:05:29,039 --> 01:05:32,119
was exactly where I put it, exactly like the other

1011
01:05:32,159 --> 01:05:39,800
one was. And this thing, the zip tie, was still

1012
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:43,079
over there on the post, and it had been ripped

1013
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,639
through the tag, and then when it got pulled off,

1014
01:05:46,679 --> 01:05:49,559
it ripped it through the tag. It was laying on

1015
01:05:49,599 --> 01:05:52,159
top of that for me to see it. I was like, well,

1016
01:05:52,199 --> 01:05:55,199
I guess, I guess I know what kind it is now,

1017
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:58,199
so I have to plan another one for him. So

1018
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,159
I don't know no what else would have pulled it

1019
01:06:01,199 --> 01:06:03,000
off and rifted off and put it right on top

1020
01:06:03,079 --> 01:06:04,800
of this grass to make sure I saw it. But

1021
01:06:06,719 --> 01:06:09,639
weird stuff like that happens around here all the time.

1022
01:06:09,719 --> 01:06:13,400
As a matter of fact, here my saying is the

1023
01:06:13,559 --> 01:06:19,480
usual is the unusual? Is the usual? All kind of

1024
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:23,400
strangeness happens around here, and we've just grown accustomed to it.

1025
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:29,519
Another thing, people ask me, have you ever been groued at?

1026
01:06:31,199 --> 01:06:33,440
You would think with the relationship we have built with

1027
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,960
this group that I wouldn't have been groud out, But

1028
01:06:37,119 --> 01:06:40,840
I have. I've been groud out twice, and I will

1029
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:44,679
tell you the events that happened there. One time, my

1030
01:06:44,719 --> 01:06:48,239
wife had some friends over and they had heard about

1031
01:06:48,239 --> 01:06:52,559
the big Foot because they were either a husband's wives

1032
01:06:53,719 --> 01:06:59,039
or related to relatives that have seen footprints or stuff

1033
01:06:59,079 --> 01:07:02,159
like that, and my wife wanted me to take them

1034
01:07:02,199 --> 01:07:05,719
to show them some footprints. I didn't really want to

1035
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:08,639
do that, but I knew that I'd be in the

1036
01:07:08,679 --> 01:07:13,239
doghouse if I didn't, so I said, okay. The first trip,

1037
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:18,800
I took three people down to the pond, and the

1038
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:26,239
water was extremely low on the pond, so the mud

1039
01:07:26,719 --> 01:07:31,559
was exposed, and there was two perfect footprints sunk in

1040
01:07:31,599 --> 01:07:35,679
the mud. And I know that they tried to hide

1041
01:07:35,679 --> 01:07:38,039
it because they broke some little branches and the little

1042
01:07:38,079 --> 01:07:40,280
bee pieces and put over top of it to try

1043
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:42,320
to hide it, and then they put some on the

1044
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,480
other dirt around it just to try to hide it.

1045
01:07:45,679 --> 01:07:47,719
But it was so deep in the mud that it

1046
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:53,000
was so clear to see that, you you know, I mean,

1047
01:07:53,039 --> 01:07:59,039
you couldn't it couldn't. You couldn't hide it. So they

1048
01:07:59,079 --> 01:08:01,880
were amazed by it. They were like, look at this,

1049
01:08:02,239 --> 01:08:05,960
Look at this footprint. This is amazing. Look how deep

1050
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:09,360
it is. It's crazy said yeah, and see they were

1051
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:13,880
trying to hide it too. And about that time, there,

1052
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:15,880
I know a place where one stays down there. It's

1053
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:19,760
about twenty five to thirty yards away. They may not

1054
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:21,600
stay there all the time, but I know it stays there.

1055
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:27,279
Sometime I heard a branch break. No, I'm sorry, I

1056
01:08:27,319 --> 01:08:30,279
wanted a branch break. I heard a dog bark behind

1057
01:08:30,279 --> 01:08:32,880
that hill. They turned around and looked, and they said,

1058
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:36,560
you've got dogs down here. I said no, I said,

1059
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:38,840
it made me just one run through the woods, but

1060
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:40,560
I knew what it was because I knew where that

1061
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:44,119
one stayed. And one stayed, and it's broken branches at

1062
01:08:44,199 --> 01:08:47,640
us two or three times from behind that hill. And

1063
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:50,000
so that's how I know it probably stays there because

1064
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:51,840
those have been in the daytime, and it's not going

1065
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:55,199
to be there all those times. So I think they

1066
01:08:55,239 --> 01:08:57,560
have a structure or something built over there, and that

1067
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:02,880
one stays there. But it barred at us. So then

1068
01:09:03,079 --> 01:09:05,520
I got him loaded up, went back to the house.

1069
01:09:06,039 --> 01:09:08,520
She had two more people wanted to go, so I

1070
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:13,520
took them and let them see the print too. All

1071
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:17,800
of a sudden, it barked twice from over there. I'm like, uh, oh,

1072
01:09:18,319 --> 01:09:24,000
I'm getting in trouble thinking it to myself, got him

1073
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:27,000
loaded up, went back, and then there was one last

1074
01:09:27,039 --> 01:09:32,600
guy that wanted to go, and I took him to

1075
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,560
the gifted station. I was not going to go back

1076
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:38,000
to the pond again. And at the gifted station, this

1077
01:09:38,119 --> 01:09:44,199
was when the nursery side again, nursery time, there was

1078
01:09:44,239 --> 01:09:48,800
a baby bigot footprint down there, a perfect print. You

1079
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:51,319
could see the heel, you could see the toes, you

1080
01:09:51,319 --> 01:09:54,600
can see everything on it. And I showed it to him.

1081
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:57,720
It was four and a half inches long. He was amazed.

1082
01:09:58,279 --> 01:10:01,479
He said, how can anybody say that these things aren't real?

1083
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:06,760
How can anybody? He said, that is definitely a human

1084
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:12,920
shaped footprint, but it's looks weird because it's so wide.

1085
01:10:13,159 --> 01:10:15,600
I said, I know, I know, And about that time,

1086
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:20,359
across the creek, one crowd at me. He didn't hear it, luckily,

1087
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:24,439
because he was talking about how perfect the print was

1088
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:28,920
and looking at the heels, looking at the toes, and

1089
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:31,720
he was said, this is the left foot. You know,

1090
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,079
you're going into all kinds of detail on. So he

1091
01:10:34,119 --> 01:10:37,439
didn't hear it, but I did. I'm like, uh, oh,

1092
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,399
I'm in trouble now. Because they won't play when it

1093
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:43,760
comes to their babies. They protect their young like we

1094
01:10:44,359 --> 01:10:48,920
protect our young. So that one growl at me, that

1095
01:10:49,079 --> 01:10:53,239
was the first one I left and never didn went

1096
01:10:53,399 --> 01:10:57,439
and did that stuff again, because you know, once you

1097
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,479
start learning what they don't want you to do, if

1098
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:04,600
you're trying to build trust and respect with them, you

1099
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:08,439
don't do it again. You're basically what they're saying is

1100
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:11,359
this is a no no, this is a red line

1101
01:11:11,399 --> 01:11:14,439
for us. Don't do it. And so if you don't

1102
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,560
do it, if you understand and you don't do it,

1103
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:22,359
it builds up that trust and respect with them and

1104
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:26,039
they and that's how you build a relationship with them.

1105
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:28,680
That's one of the things you have to figure out

1106
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:33,479
how to do. The other thing. The other time I

1107
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:38,039
got growled at was down at the gifting station. At

1108
01:11:38,079 --> 01:11:43,760
the gifting station, I went down there and put stuff out.

1109
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:48,119
All of a sudden I heard one down there growl. Oh.

1110
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:51,560
There was a ton of prints that day. It was

1111
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:54,039
taking me longer that day because there was a ton

1112
01:11:54,079 --> 01:11:57,039
of prints down there, and I'd taken and I was

1113
01:11:57,119 --> 01:11:59,119
measuring on them because I like to keep up with

1114
01:11:59,159 --> 01:12:02,520
what's here. This was with the nursery, and the nursery

1115
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:05,920
set up so that each baby has a juvenile with it,

1116
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,840
and then there's one adult mom over the whole thing,

1117
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:14,439
and then there is an extra juvenile or two as

1118
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:17,239
a day watcher or a fill in, I guess, but

1119
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:22,119
each baby has a juvenile traveling with it like a

1120
01:12:22,119 --> 01:12:26,239
companion to make sure that everything goes good. But I

1121
01:12:26,359 --> 01:12:28,800
was taking so long because there were so many prints

1122
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:33,239
down there. One on grout at me, and I said,

1123
01:12:34,119 --> 01:12:36,760
don't be growling at me. The deal is, y'all showed

1124
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:38,960
me footprints and I put food down here. Don't be

1125
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,039
ground at me, and it growled again one more time.

1126
01:12:41,079 --> 01:12:43,880
I said, no, you know better than that, and so

1127
01:12:44,399 --> 01:12:47,840
I left and I let him know. I said, I'm leaving,

1128
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,039
so you can come and get some deep now. I left.

1129
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:56,800
Then something very strange happened. The next weekend. I go

1130
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,239
back down there to put more out in the next weekend,

1131
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:03,640
and I'm doing all the footprints again because there's a

1132
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:07,760
bunch of footprints down there again, and I'm just measuring

1133
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:10,720
them to see which ones they were, and all like that,

1134
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:15,720
to make sure exactly how many he's down here. Then

1135
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:18,399
all of a sudden, I hear Limb break the exact

1136
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:20,920
same spot to where I heard the growd come from,

1137
01:13:22,319 --> 01:13:25,720
and I just laughed at myself and I said, all right,

1138
01:13:26,039 --> 01:13:28,960
at least you didn't growl. And then he broke another

1139
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,079
one after I said that, and I said, okay, I'll

1140
01:13:31,159 --> 01:13:33,479
let you know we were leaving when I'm leaving, and

1141
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:36,560
I let him know, and I never he'd never done

1142
01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:40,119
that again after that, But I guess he learned that

1143
01:13:40,159 --> 01:13:42,000
he didn't need to be growling at me, but he

1144
01:13:42,079 --> 01:13:43,680
sure were going to let me know he was there

1145
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:47,399
ready to eat. And all that kind of stuff happens

1146
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:52,920
just so much. I mean, it's crazy. When I go

1147
01:13:53,079 --> 01:13:55,600
down to the gifting station, the majority of the time,

1148
01:13:56,399 --> 01:14:00,159
it is so quiet. You may hear a bird way

1149
01:14:00,159 --> 01:14:02,640
off in the distance, but right there around it, it's

1150
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:05,520
so quiet that if you only hear bird in the distance,

1151
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:11,920
your ears just start straining to hear sounds because there's

1152
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:15,279
just nothing there. It's like all the sand is absorbed

1153
01:14:15,279 --> 01:14:19,720
and there's just nothing there. It's crazy, but I understand

1154
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:24,119
that they're down in that area, so I know it's

1155
01:14:24,119 --> 01:14:31,600
coming from them. When you've been around them as long

1156
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:36,479
as I have, all of a sudden you start realizing

1157
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:41,000
that when you were kids. When you were a kid,

1158
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:45,760
you start getting flashbacks because you learn so much about

1159
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:50,479
them that you start getting flashbacks from a kid. And

1160
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:52,039
that let me give you an example. I used to

1161
01:14:52,119 --> 01:14:54,239
hunt all the time when I was a kid. Now

1162
01:14:54,239 --> 01:14:57,000
I don't hunt here now because my dad always told

1163
01:14:57,039 --> 01:14:59,199
me if you don't, if you kill it, you got

1164
01:14:59,239 --> 01:15:01,720
to eat it. You're not gonna eat it. Don't kill it.

1165
01:15:02,079 --> 01:15:04,560
There's a life, just like a human life. Don't kill

1166
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:09,000
something unless you're gonna use it for food. So here,

1167
01:15:09,079 --> 01:15:11,720
my wife would never eat any of it. She's not

1168
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,960
a vegetarian, but she loves wildlife like I do. And

1169
01:15:16,039 --> 01:15:18,159
if I told her she's eating a deer burger, she

1170
01:15:18,239 --> 01:15:21,880
would probably throw up. And it's not because of the taste.

1171
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:25,720
It's only because you know, she thinks of it as

1172
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:29,399
a deer. But anyway, so I don't hunt, but I

1173
01:15:29,399 --> 01:15:31,800
still love seeing them. That's why I still put food

1174
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:35,239
out for the deer and the birds and all that stuff.

1175
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:37,880
I love hearing the bird calls in the morning and

1176
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:42,600
off the back porch. But anyway, if you had a

1177
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:46,000
flashback as a kid, heard a tree knock one day,

1178
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:48,680
and I'm sitting on the back porch, and I'm like,

1179
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,239
I've heard that as a kid, build up in a

1180
01:15:54,279 --> 01:15:58,520
tree stand almost at dark, three quarters of a mile

1181
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:01,920
away from that tree stand, and there's a big, huge

1182
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:11,760
swamp and I heard two, like two tree knocks synchronize

1183
01:16:12,199 --> 01:16:19,199
bam bam, and I'm like, okay, well, I didn't think

1184
01:16:19,239 --> 01:16:22,600
anything about a bigfoot then, so I in my mind,

1185
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:25,079
I'm just like, it's a hunter trying to repair a

1186
01:16:25,119 --> 01:16:28,359
tree stand. But now I look back on it, and

1187
01:16:28,399 --> 01:16:32,720
I heard that like four times, at least two, but

1188
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:35,399
I think I've heard I heard it four times as

1189
01:16:35,399 --> 01:16:39,279
a kid, and it was all in that swamp area,

1190
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:44,800
and I started thinking back. First off, if you're a hunter,

1191
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:47,960
and I didn't know anything about it, but if you're

1192
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,199
a hunter, you're not going to fix a tree stand

1193
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:52,439
at the prime time to hunt. You're gonna do the

1194
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:55,600
middle of the day or before the season. The second

1195
01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:59,920
thing is when you're hitting now, now you're gonna hit it,

1196
01:17:00,039 --> 01:17:02,760
and as you get it closer to the end, the

1197
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:05,640
frequency and the tapping is gonna change and it's gonna

1198
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:08,760
be lighter, but it's gonna be more often. To make

1199
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,199
sure to finish it all the way in and this

1200
01:17:11,399 --> 01:17:16,800
was always These were always loud, and they only did

1201
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:20,920
one or two at a time. So I'm thinking back

1202
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:22,560
on it now, I'm like, that was not a hunter.

1203
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:25,880
That was one of them down there. Then the one

1204
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:30,600
that really gets me is I was in the tree

1205
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,439
stand one time and it's looking at them down this

1206
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:35,720
bottom and up the other side, and I could see

1207
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:38,600
all the way up to the fence. Now, I helped

1208
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:40,520
my dad put that fence in there. I know that

1209
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:46,560
the post on it or four foot tall, and I

1210
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:52,840
see this what I think is a person walking by,

1211
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:58,600
but it was hunting season. Everybody around there knows to

1212
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:03,600
wear orange. This was brown from top to bottom. This

1213
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:07,079
had no orange on. This thing was not carrying a gun.

1214
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,920
But I'm just thinking it's a truspasser. In my mind

1215
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:13,079
as a kid, because I didn't know anything about big flood,

1216
01:18:13,119 --> 01:18:16,680
I'm thinking this is a truspasser. But now I look

1217
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:21,960
back on it, and my dad actually called the neighbors.

1218
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,159
I told and told him what I saw, and he

1219
01:18:24,199 --> 01:18:30,760
actually called the neighbors and he never could see another.

1220
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:34,479
Neighbors said they were over there, but this thing was

1221
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:41,479
twice as tall as the post, which means it would

1222
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:46,359
have been eight foot tall. And I started thinking about that,

1223
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:48,079
and there was a dinner, There was a bunch of

1224
01:18:48,119 --> 01:18:50,840
pine trees, and then there was a field with gate,

1225
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:54,239
and I would always climb the gate to go to

1226
01:18:54,279 --> 01:18:58,199
the other side, and I was watching waiting for him

1227
01:18:58,199 --> 01:19:00,439
to come out in that big field at the gate

1228
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:04,239
and cross over, and it never did. It never got

1229
01:19:04,279 --> 01:19:06,840
over into there and crossed at the gate, which means

1230
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:09,319
it had to cross the fence where those fines were.

1231
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:16,560
But yet this thing was twice the height of post

1232
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:18,479
that we put in the ground that I know good

1233
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:21,960
and well was four foot tall. So and it looked

1234
01:19:22,039 --> 01:19:24,399
really big from where I was at. But of course

1235
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:31,439
at that age I was probably sixteen fifteen sixteen, you

1236
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:34,319
really don't have at that distance, you really don't have

1237
01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:42,479
a good you're not really able to register size. Because

1238
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:45,840
it wasn't until I went back and that thought came

1239
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:48,439
up in my head about it, I was able to

1240
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:50,680
figure out way that thing was twice as paul as

1241
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:54,239
that poet that that post those posts were four foot

1242
01:19:54,359 --> 01:19:58,279
four to four four was four to eight. So it

1243
01:19:58,399 --> 01:20:01,359
wasn't until then I realiz that was one of them

1244
01:20:01,399 --> 01:20:04,279
coming up and there was a trail up there the

1245
01:20:04,279 --> 01:20:07,920
deer would take coming up right next to that fence,

1246
01:20:08,239 --> 01:20:11,039
and there it was a big foot coming up there.

1247
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:13,520
Now do I call it out a sighting? Now? No,

1248
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:17,920
because I didn't know it then, and my parameters I

1249
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:20,439
always go by. To prove whether it is or not,

1250
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:24,319
I have to see hair or face one of the

1251
01:20:24,359 --> 01:20:27,720
other and know one hundred percent that is no other animal.

1252
01:20:28,359 --> 01:20:30,800
I know it wasn't any other animal, but I couldn't

1253
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:34,600
see hair nor face, even though it was all one

1254
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:38,479
color from bottom to top. So it's funny how these

1255
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:43,680
things come up from your past and you think about

1256
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,720
them and you realize I was around them when I

1257
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:49,319
was a kid and just didn't know about it. As

1258
01:20:49,359 --> 01:20:51,439
a matter of fact, I've had a couple of hunters

1259
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:54,760
that I've talked to, and I always liked to ask them,

1260
01:20:55,199 --> 01:20:57,279
you know, do you believe in big foot? Of course

1261
01:20:57,319 --> 01:21:00,439
they all say no, never seen one. No, don't believe them.

1262
01:21:01,279 --> 01:21:03,359
And then I asked them, have you ever heard a

1263
01:21:03,399 --> 01:21:06,880
tree knock? Something that sounds like a baseball bat hitting

1264
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:11,520
a tree. I've had three or four of them say, oh, yeah, yeah,

1265
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:13,520
I've heard that out there. It must be a neighbor

1266
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:21,000
putting a fence up or doing something. I said, are

1267
01:21:21,039 --> 01:21:23,399
you sure, I said, did he hit a bunch of times?

1268
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:27,359
Now only a couple two or three. And it's so

1269
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:30,199
funny because you asked the hunters that, and now I

1270
01:21:30,239 --> 01:21:32,039
mean I asked the hunters that, and I hear that,

1271
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:35,079
And I don't try to tell them that it was

1272
01:21:35,079 --> 01:21:37,680
a big foot because of the fact that they're not

1273
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:39,840
going to believe you anyway, because they've got their mind

1274
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:42,800
made up, just like I did as a kid. But

1275
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:45,439
yet by what they're telling me, I know that they've

1276
01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:53,560
been around them and didn't realize it. It's just absolutely crazy. Now.

1277
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,000
The ones here, they like to do a lot of

1278
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,960
stuff with wood. They liked to make a lot of

1279
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:04,760
wood structures or things with vines. They like to make

1280
01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:08,279
a lot of excess. They like to bend trees. And

1281
01:22:08,279 --> 01:22:10,680
when they bend a tree, they'll take a pine tree

1282
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:13,680
or a real skinny tree, bend it over, and they'll

1283
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:17,119
put either a couple of old logs on top of

1284
01:22:17,199 --> 01:22:19,439
it or a huge river rock on top of it

1285
01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:23,439
to hold it down. Then I've seen hides made with those.

1286
01:22:24,279 --> 01:22:29,560
Then they take brush and stand up on the side

1287
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:32,359
of it where the arch is, it's like the spine

1288
01:22:32,399 --> 01:22:34,960
holding it up. They take and put that all there.

1289
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:38,199
On each side, they leave a gap on whichever side

1290
01:22:38,199 --> 01:22:40,000
they're going to go in. Sometimes they leave a gap

1291
01:22:40,119 --> 01:22:42,640
or a little gap on both sides and they make

1292
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:46,439
a hide like that. They made two down by the

1293
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:49,640
gifting station when I started putting nutter butters down there,

1294
01:22:50,279 --> 01:22:52,399
because they wanted the nutter butters, that's the thing that

1295
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,520
they like the most. They put two right across the creek.

1296
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:59,800
It's about fifty yards from the gifting station. So when

1297
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:06,319
whenever i'd get stuff put out, sometimes I'd hear them

1298
01:23:06,359 --> 01:23:09,680
walking to the creek even before I get them all done,

1299
01:23:10,039 --> 01:23:13,119
so they can be the first one's there. And I

1300
01:23:13,159 --> 01:23:15,560
actually got a picture of one of the hides one

1301
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:19,359
time and I posted it and I had somebody say,

1302
01:23:19,399 --> 01:23:21,680
did you see the face in there? Said, no, I

1303
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:23,640
didn't see a face, And sure enough, I go looking.

1304
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:27,439
There's this round little face looking at me, and it

1305
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:33,439
looks like a sort of like a mix between a

1306
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:36,800
human and a chimpanzee. And it sure looks like it's

1307
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:40,039
got a frown on it. What's really weird about that

1308
01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:45,840
is it never used that hide again. It's like once

1309
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:49,000
they knew that I'd seen them, they don't use that

1310
01:23:49,159 --> 01:23:53,119
heiighth anymore. Even though they trust me, they don't use

1311
01:23:53,159 --> 01:23:55,720
it anymore. I don't know if it's a reaction to

1312
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:59,279
me getting a picture of it or what exactly it was.

1313
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:06,880
They don't use it anymore at all. They actually the

1314
01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:12,239
ones here kind of treat us like distant relatives. They

1315
01:24:12,279 --> 01:24:17,239
actually protect the house. They've warned us of danger. If

1316
01:24:17,279 --> 01:24:21,199
there's somebody on our back porch that's only one person

1317
01:24:21,399 --> 01:24:24,239
and they don't know who it is, they would do

1318
01:24:24,279 --> 01:24:27,600
stuff like break a huge limb off a tree right

1319
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:30,079
over there in the woods next to them, or they

1320
01:24:30,119 --> 01:24:32,800
will stop in the woods, going back and forth two

1321
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:35,640
or three times to try to scare them. I had

1322
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:38,880
one guy that was fixing the porch one time, and

1323
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:44,920
he was he was he was putting new flooring on

1324
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:48,920
the porch, on the back porch, and he called me.

1325
01:24:49,239 --> 01:24:53,119
He says, hey, got a question for you. Is there

1326
01:24:53,119 --> 01:24:55,399
anything here I need to know about? And I said,

1327
01:24:55,399 --> 01:24:59,199
what do you mean? He goes, there is no end

1328
01:24:59,239 --> 01:25:03,760
here at all. I'm here by myself and something over

1329
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:08,760
there in the woods just snouted a tree, just broke

1330
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:16,239
a tree came crashing down. I said, oh, I don't

1331
01:25:16,279 --> 01:25:19,000
worry about it. Just don't go in the woods. You'll

1332
01:25:19,039 --> 01:25:23,439
be fine. But what evidently, come to find out after

1333
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:26,279
I talked to him further, he was walking. The wood

1334
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:30,319
was in between where he was working and the tree line,

1335
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:33,680
and they had just dropped it. So he was going

1336
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:36,680
to look at the wood towards the tree line, and

1337
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:39,359
it broke it. And when I went and looked walting,

1338
01:25:39,359 --> 01:25:42,439
a tree that broke about fifty foot up in a

1339
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:46,760
huge oak tree, a huge oak limb was broken off

1340
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:50,600
of it that fell to the ground. So it was that,

1341
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:56,760
and it wasn't actually, it wasn't actually the tree. I've

1342
01:25:56,800 --> 01:26:04,800
actually got a lady that watches my mom. My mom's

1343
01:26:06,359 --> 01:26:10,840
at home with me. She's bedridden right now, and so

1344
01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:14,199
she comes and helps when I'm at work, and she'll

1345
01:26:14,239 --> 01:26:16,600
go to the back for it sometimes. And she's already

1346
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:20,920
told me twice in the last two weeks. Something was

1347
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:24,079
running back and forth through the woods, and then she

1348
01:26:24,159 --> 01:26:26,439
took one of the dogs for a walk and something

1349
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:29,880
broke a limb down down in the where the trees

1350
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:32,840
were were down by the creek, broke a big branch

1351
01:26:33,279 --> 01:26:38,680
and she said, Cookie, our little dog. He ran back

1352
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:41,079
to the door to the house, and then the other

1353
01:26:41,119 --> 01:26:43,840
one was just staring down there, just staring, not moving

1354
01:26:44,319 --> 01:26:49,159
alasking husky, she said. When Cookie took off running, she said,

1355
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:51,640
it took me a while to get the other one

1356
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:54,279
to turn, but we got back. I don't know what

1357
01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:57,279
it was, but something broke a branch down there, and

1358
01:26:57,319 --> 01:27:00,279
I asked her. I said it was a windy She said, oh,

1359
01:27:00,279 --> 01:27:04,159
it was no wind something broke that branch. I said,

1360
01:27:04,399 --> 01:27:06,279
did you ever did you hear it hit the ground?

1361
01:27:07,079 --> 01:27:08,840
She said no, I never heard it hit the ground,

1362
01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:14,800
but I heard the break, and I said, okay. So anyway,

1363
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:19,199
she was by herself, and she was holding the dogs,

1364
01:27:19,239 --> 01:27:22,920
and they were just trying to let them know they're watching.

1365
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:26,840
I think that's funny and unique. You can't hit a

1366
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:28,760
guard dog any better than a big foot guard in

1367
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:33,960
your house, at least at least I don't think so.

1368
01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:37,239
Maybe you can, but I don't think so. But it's

1369
01:27:37,279 --> 01:27:42,079
really neat that they do that. Some people have asked

1370
01:27:42,119 --> 01:27:45,720
me if I heard them talking back and forth, and

1371
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:50,479
the answer to that is yes, I've heard that two

1372
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:55,640
different times. I've heard two awful Me and my wife

1373
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:57,680
was coming from the pond one time and I heard

1374
01:27:58,359 --> 01:28:02,920
sounded like somebody was talking and on our property as

1375
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:05,000
we were driving back, and it was so loud you

1376
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:09,800
could actually hear it over the side side, and I said,

1377
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:12,920
wait a second, stop, we're gonna stop. Turn it up,

1378
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:17,039
turn it ins and off. We turned it off, and

1379
01:28:17,079 --> 01:28:19,159
you can hear them talking, but it's not in a

1380
01:28:19,319 --> 01:28:23,399
language you can understand. But after looking at it listening

1381
01:28:23,399 --> 01:28:28,680
to the samurai chatter, it sounded somewhat like that. But

1382
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:31,319
they we were talking for about We listened to it

1383
01:28:31,319 --> 01:28:33,560
for about ten minutes. I tried to record it on

1384
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:36,880
my phone, but it wouldn't pick it up because iPhones

1385
01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:40,520
are terrible about pitching up picking up sounds at a distance.

1386
01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:44,039
Distance it'll pick up things closer and magnify it louder.

1387
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:46,680
The ones at the distance it doesn't pick up good.

1388
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:50,319
So it didn't pick it up good. But I heard them.

1389
01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:53,399
Me and my wife heard them. And then I had

1390
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:58,199
twins that were coming to the gifting station one time

1391
01:28:58,279 --> 01:29:01,199
when I was putting stuff out and they were talking

1392
01:29:01,239 --> 01:29:03,520
back and forth to each other. They were coming down

1393
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:06,359
a fence and then the fence makes a night degree

1394
01:29:06,399 --> 01:29:09,600
turn right into the gifting station, and I wanted to

1395
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:13,199
record it, so I snuck in the woods, turned my

1396
01:29:13,279 --> 01:29:15,960
phone on because I knew exactly it was coming down

1397
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:18,439
that fence and then it's gonna make a turn right

1398
01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:24,039
to the gifting station. When they got about twenty yards

1399
01:29:24,079 --> 01:29:27,880
from the corner, there evidently was one in a tree

1400
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:31,960
behind me. About twenty yards he had made a tree

1401
01:29:32,039 --> 01:29:36,920
knock so loud because I had my phone on the

1402
01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:41,800
phone even muted it because it was such a volume.

1403
01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:45,479
It was so loud that it muted it. I thought

1404
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:51,960
that was crazy. But they stopped, and I realized that

1405
01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:53,960
that was one of their red lines, which I knew

1406
01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:58,159
it already was. But it wasn't like I was going

1407
01:29:58,239 --> 01:30:00,079
trying to get a picture. I was just trying to

1408
01:30:01,079 --> 01:30:05,199
record them talking back and forth. And I thought that

1409
01:30:05,399 --> 01:30:08,000
was one of the neatest things until I got busted.

1410
01:30:08,399 --> 01:30:12,279
I left, and it hadn't happened again where I've heard

1411
01:30:12,319 --> 01:30:19,039
them talking, but I have not tried to invade their territory,

1412
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:22,760
you know, and like that, And that's I wasn't their territory.

1413
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:24,880
It was just they don't want you to go in

1414
01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:27,039
there and mess with their little ones. And those were

1415
01:30:27,079 --> 01:30:31,159
two babies that had been there for about four or

1416
01:30:31,159 --> 01:30:35,039
five months that were talking to each other. So I understand.

1417
01:30:35,039 --> 01:30:38,199
I wouldn't want anybody sneaking into the house trying to

1418
01:30:38,199 --> 01:30:45,199
get close to my babies either, So I understand now.

1419
01:30:45,319 --> 01:30:47,960
Is there any questions at all, Miguel, Do you have

1420
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:50,279
any questions? Yeah?

1421
01:30:50,319 --> 01:30:55,159
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Can you tell me what your son saw when

1422
01:30:55,199 --> 01:30:58,600
he was driving? Did he share any details on the

1423
01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:00,000
description of the creature.

1424
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:03,800
Speaker 2: He didn't. He just said they were on all four

1425
01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:08,880
and he said they were coming up through the bottom

1426
01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:13,199
and he said the definitely was not a hog. It

1427
01:31:13,359 --> 01:31:17,359
was no animal I've ever seen, he said, And he

1428
01:31:17,399 --> 01:31:19,520
had seen the one down there, and he said, I

1429
01:31:19,600 --> 01:31:22,279
thought it could have been too bigfoot on all fours,

1430
01:31:25,039 --> 01:31:27,439
but it was so dark down there because it dips

1431
01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:30,720
down and it's so deep. The only way he even

1432
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:33,000
got a chance to glimpse is because he was turning.

1433
01:31:33,079 --> 01:31:36,079
He was going into the other lane to make the

1434
01:31:36,119 --> 01:31:39,800
turn into our driveway. That's how he saw him. And

1435
01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:43,239
then he went on past them to turn around so

1436
01:31:43,279 --> 01:31:44,680
he'd be on that side of the road so he

1437
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:46,680
could get a better look at him. But when he did,

1438
01:31:46,840 --> 01:31:49,199
he crossed that bridge and he saw that one standing up.

1439
01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:52,000
He didn't take his eyes off that one. He didn't

1440
01:31:52,039 --> 01:31:55,359
want to take any chance of that. He was looking

1441
01:31:55,399 --> 01:31:57,359
at that one. He wasn't worried about the other two then,

1442
01:31:58,319 --> 01:32:02,720
So he didn't tell me, but he just said. He

1443
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:06,680
didn't say it was a monster. But basically the feeling

1444
01:32:06,720 --> 01:32:09,119
I got from him was he thought that thing was

1445
01:32:09,119 --> 01:32:12,199
so big. He didn't want nothing to do with that thing.

1446
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:15,319
It was that big. It was huge. He said it

1447
01:32:15,359 --> 01:32:16,840
was huge. He said, I don't know how tall it

1448
01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:20,479
was standing down there, but it was taller than my

1449
01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:26,840
car from down there off the road. So yeah, that's

1450
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:28,039
that's several feet too.

1451
01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:31,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, how old was your son when't that happened?

1452
01:32:36,319 --> 01:32:40,640
Speaker 2: Twenty one, twenty twenty one, So he wasn't young. I

1453
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:42,960
mean he had seen the one down here already at

1454
01:32:42,960 --> 01:32:47,319
the house, so he had already seen one. He knew

1455
01:32:47,399 --> 01:32:50,760
what they were. He's hurt them tree knock and stuff

1456
01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:55,760
like that, and he's aware that they're here. But he

1457
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:58,960
was either twenty or twenty one. He was He went

1458
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:04,880
to college for two years after school, and then he

1459
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:07,000
came back and started working. So it was placetween one

1460
01:33:07,079 --> 01:33:07,640
or twenty two.

1461
01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:13,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and how did your wife react after seeing the

1462
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:15,199
figure through the thermal device.

1463
01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:19,279
Speaker 2: Well, she couldn't figure out what it was. That's the

1464
01:33:19,319 --> 01:33:24,399
reason why she called Sheila down there, because here's this

1465
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:29,319
big hot thing, but then there's this red stuff in

1466
01:33:29,399 --> 01:33:34,760
front too, you know, so it's only like one mask

1467
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:37,880
that was like melting onto the ground. And then when

1468
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:43,359
Sheila saw it, she's like, no, that's one of those.

1469
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:47,760
But they took pictures off it with the thermal and

1470
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:50,319
when I got it and looked at it, I said, yeah,

1471
01:33:50,359 --> 01:33:53,479
it was peeing on the ground. I said, you can

1472
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:55,399
see this. You's got a tree right here and it's

1473
01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:58,439
peeing at the base of this tree. So what it

1474
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:00,880
was doing was it was standing down there and then

1475
01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:06,920
remarking his territory, peeing on the ground. And so she

1476
01:34:07,079 --> 01:34:11,920
was very happy because not only her and Sheila, but

1477
01:34:12,079 --> 01:34:14,720
two other people came down there because he stood there

1478
01:34:14,760 --> 01:34:16,439
for a while like, as I have to say, this is

1479
01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:20,520
my territory, you know. But he was about forty yards away,

1480
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:27,319
down in a bottom. So it was she was excited

1481
01:34:27,359 --> 01:34:30,960
that she got it, though, I mean, because it was

1482
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:35,880
anything anything like that on a thermal that you know

1483
01:34:36,199 --> 01:34:40,960
what it is, can figure it out. You know, it's amazing.

1484
01:34:41,039 --> 01:34:44,399
And you know they do have black bear, but black

1485
01:34:44,439 --> 01:34:48,920
the bear don't stand up not you know, in one

1486
01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:51,640
spot for ten to fifteen minutes, and this thing was

1487
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:56,000
just standing down there looking at him. And then when

1488
01:34:56,079 --> 01:35:00,720
one person handed somebody else and load, it was gone.

1489
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:02,960
In the end, they handed it back to the person

1490
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:04,760
that's seen it, and they looked it. Sure enough it

1491
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:06,520
was gold. But you still see the red spot on

1492
01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:10,239
the ground. Yeah.

1493
01:35:10,399 --> 01:35:12,399
Speaker 1: And I can't tell you how many people I've spoken

1494
01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:15,239
to that have had experiences on their property and they're

1495
01:35:15,279 --> 01:35:19,079
the only ones who experience the activity and their other

1496
01:35:19,159 --> 01:35:22,239
family members don't see or hear anything at all. And

1497
01:35:22,279 --> 01:35:26,680
it's pretty amazing that you, your wife, your son, and

1498
01:35:26,880 --> 01:35:31,920
other family members have experienced things on the property and

1499
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:35,159
that helps validate what you've experienced. And I'm sure you

1500
01:35:35,279 --> 01:35:41,119
guys have built a connection over time sharing these experiences

1501
01:35:41,159 --> 01:35:41,840
with one another.

1502
01:35:43,159 --> 01:35:47,159
Speaker 2: We have, we really have. As a matter of fact,

1503
01:35:47,680 --> 01:35:51,359
nobody at work. Everybody knows. I don't lie anyway, but

1504
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:56,600
everybody at work knows me and those about them and

1505
01:35:56,640 --> 01:35:59,640
stuff like that, and they always come in there and say, hey,

1506
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:01,760
I've ever heard this, I heard this about them and

1507
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:04,960
I tell them what I've either seen or heard. Most

1508
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:09,880
of the time i've seen something that relates to what

1509
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:14,319
they're talking about or the same type thing. But when

1510
01:36:14,359 --> 01:36:17,520
people do that, I learn from it because I want

1511
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:21,439
to compare what I'm seeing here to what other people

1512
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:26,000
are seeing other places. But that's why I like to

1513
01:36:28,199 --> 01:36:32,079
you know, really, it's a big disservices done to people.

1514
01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:36,840
If you really look at there ponderance of evidence over time,

1515
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:40,479
I don't know how you can't believe that they're real.

1516
01:36:41,479 --> 01:36:45,239
I mean, this goes all the way back to the

1517
01:36:45,279 --> 01:36:50,039
writing of the Gilglis or whatever it's called. Four thousand

1518
01:36:50,119 --> 01:36:53,760
years ago. They were writing about these beings being there.

1519
01:36:54,239 --> 01:37:00,359
There's stuff in the Bible, there's stuff in the what

1520
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:04,079
is the cathedral where the thing is drawn on there

1521
01:37:04,079 --> 01:37:08,920
by Michelangelo Cistine Chapel. Cistine Chapel has a picture of it,

1522
01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:11,399
and there where Michelangelo drew a picture of two in

1523
01:37:11,399 --> 01:37:16,119
the cave with the young one. All the native Americans

1524
01:37:16,119 --> 01:37:18,159
said they'd been here a long time before them. They've

1525
01:37:18,239 --> 01:37:21,800
drown along caves with other animals that are real. The

1526
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:26,800
footprints all I mean, you go all the way back

1527
01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:29,760
and there's evidence all the way back in every continent.

1528
01:37:32,479 --> 01:37:37,399
It's amazing. Even the Indian Army found a Yetti footprint

1529
01:37:38,600 --> 01:37:40,520
and it would have had a stride I believe of

1530
01:37:40,560 --> 01:37:43,399
eight feet and it was thirty two inches long, and

1531
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:47,439
it was, oh, I don't know, it was like twelve

1532
01:37:47,520 --> 01:37:49,720
or fourteen inches wide, and you can see the whole

1533
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:53,159
trackway in the snow, and then measuring it, the whole

1534
01:37:53,199 --> 01:37:55,960
Indian Army found it ran across it to a manuvers

1535
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:00,640
and there's only one set of tracks, you know. So

1536
01:38:01,039 --> 01:38:03,720
if you look at the preponderance of evidence with an

1537
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:07,920
open mind, and people think nowadays they think, well, it's

1538
01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:12,000
because somebody's trying to make money, somebody's trying to be famous,

1539
01:38:12,079 --> 01:38:17,800
somebody's trying to do this jerky whatever. You know. No,

1540
01:38:18,199 --> 01:38:20,960
these people back then they had nothing to gain from it.

1541
01:38:21,479 --> 01:38:24,239
They had nothing to gain from telling people about it

1542
01:38:24,359 --> 01:38:29,000
or drawing them on cave walls, or they just don't.

1543
01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:33,199
So if you's in all the almost all the continents,

1544
01:38:33,239 --> 01:38:37,600
So the preponderance of the evidence, if you're open minded

1545
01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:41,000
and you really study it and look at it, I

1546
01:38:41,039 --> 01:38:44,520
don't know how you can't say there's not something to

1547
01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:49,479
it to me. I just and I didn't. I was

1548
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:51,680
fifty to fifty from as a kid because of all

1549
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:54,760
the people, all the witnesses. I was fifty to fifty

1550
01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:57,600
as a kid. But now when I really look back

1551
01:38:58,319 --> 01:39:02,039
and look at things, I mean even Washington State as

1552
01:39:02,119 --> 01:39:06,800
a state thing showing where they are and how to

1553
01:39:06,880 --> 01:39:10,560
avoid them and stuff from the Engineering Department I think

1554
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:13,720
it was from. So they even put that out there

1555
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:19,800
from Washington State. So I don't know, it's I've found

1556
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:23,600
out there's only certain people that you can convince that

1557
01:39:23,720 --> 01:39:27,039
there's a chance that it's real, and it's usually people

1558
01:39:27,079 --> 01:39:30,960
that are very inquisitive and that are open minded people

1559
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:36,600
that go on just I don't know. I think you

1560
01:39:36,720 --> 01:39:39,680
have to be inquisitive and open minded to look at

1561
01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:44,880
the whole picture and see what I see. Yeah.

1562
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:48,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Why did you start gifting in the first place?

1563
01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:52,319
And is there anything you wish you had done differently?

1564
01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:56,800
Speaker 2: Oh, we did a bunch of stuff wrong, but I

1565
01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:59,960
didn't know it at the time until they let me

1566
01:40:00,119 --> 01:40:04,920
know it was wrong. For example, the first good footprint

1567
01:40:05,279 --> 01:40:09,079
I had that I could make a plaster cast off,

1568
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:12,640
I went to make the casting of it. It was

1569
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:15,920
the juvenile that was nine and a half inches long,

1570
01:40:16,800 --> 01:40:19,399
and it was real narrow and only had four toes.

1571
01:40:20,039 --> 01:40:21,920
It was real wet, so I left it down at

1572
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:30,319
the pond on it well. The next two days later,

1573
01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:34,760
I went to we were putting apples on the tree.

1574
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:39,880
Then I went down there and where the apples were

1575
01:40:39,880 --> 01:40:44,600
on the tree, I saw a perfect set of toeprints

1576
01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:49,399
there right there by the fence. And I said, man,

1577
01:40:50,399 --> 01:40:54,600
this is the best toeprints I've seen from an adult.

1578
01:40:55,720 --> 01:41:04,199
And then so all right, so I'll tell let me

1579
01:41:04,239 --> 01:41:07,880
tell that's that entire event. So we had done that,

1580
01:41:08,119 --> 01:41:11,039
made that casting. Two days later, I go down there

1581
01:41:11,680 --> 01:41:15,359
right by the stump feeder. I'd seen where a hawk

1582
01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:18,680
had killed a dove, and I've always taken pictures of

1583
01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:21,479
that because it's so unique, the way they scraped the

1584
01:41:21,520 --> 01:41:24,880
feathers off and then you know, take the kill off.

1585
01:41:26,079 --> 01:41:28,800
And then I go down there and I look, and

1586
01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:33,399
the apples were gone, and I see these perfect toeprints.

1587
01:41:33,439 --> 01:41:36,720
But it's getting a little dark because I'm in the woods. Now.

1588
01:41:37,359 --> 01:41:39,880
I take a picture of these perfect toe prints, and

1589
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:42,800
I'm excited because toe prince, to me, are the hardest

1590
01:41:42,800 --> 01:41:47,119
to get. I think when they stepped their he'll hits first,

1591
01:41:47,159 --> 01:41:48,800
and then their toes are the last things. But I

1592
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:52,279
think their toes are much more flexible than iur. Plus

1593
01:41:52,319 --> 01:41:54,520
I think their pad on the bottom is thicker than

1594
01:41:54,520 --> 01:41:56,720
I were, so their toes are up higher off the ground,

1595
01:41:57,640 --> 01:42:00,800
just what I think from the prince I've seen. But

1596
01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:04,600
so I took a picture of it, and then I

1597
01:42:04,640 --> 01:42:07,199
took another because I knew it was getting dark and

1598
01:42:07,239 --> 01:42:09,439
to see if it flashed, and it did. It flashed.

1599
01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:11,520
Then I took a third one just to make sure

1600
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:14,199
I got and it flashed again. Then I took a

1601
01:42:14,199 --> 01:42:16,800
picture of the apples. Now, the whole time I'm down there,

1602
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:19,800
I feel like I'm being watched. I feel like something

1603
01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:25,159
is looking at me the whole time. So I go

1604
01:42:25,279 --> 01:42:28,920
out into the little field area where we have the

1605
01:42:28,960 --> 01:42:32,079
gifted station. It's not a field, it's just an opening,

1606
01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:34,720
and so I'm gonna do a whoop, but I'm going

1607
01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:38,880
to put my phone on video so that I can

1608
01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:41,800
try to pick up any sound that comes if anything

1609
01:42:41,880 --> 01:42:46,159
responds to me. So I can't remember exactly what I made.

1610
01:42:46,159 --> 01:42:50,199
Maybe I made a whoop or something. Nothing ever responded back.

1611
01:42:51,159 --> 01:42:54,840
So then I'm heading back towards from the other side.

1612
01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:59,399
Of it towards the stump feeder, and I see a

1613
01:42:59,479 --> 01:43:04,319
perfect print. So I take a picture of that perfect

1614
01:43:04,399 --> 01:43:08,000
he'll print. Then when I get back to the gifting station,

1615
01:43:08,159 --> 01:43:10,199
I had taken a picture off the feathers on the ground,

1616
01:43:10,199 --> 01:43:12,840
but I didn't look in the marble plate and they

1617
01:43:12,880 --> 01:43:15,479
had made some kind of a picture in it, and

1618
01:43:15,479 --> 01:43:18,319
I took a picture of the way they did the marbles.

1619
01:43:19,199 --> 01:43:21,199
So I got back to the house, I told my wife,

1620
01:43:21,239 --> 01:43:24,720
I said, look at this. This is the best pictures

1621
01:43:24,720 --> 01:43:28,000
I've ever seen at toes and the best great heel

1622
01:43:28,079 --> 01:43:32,720
print picture. She said, okay. So I get my phone

1623
01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:40,439
out and I said, okay, here's the feathers. Here's the apples.

1624
01:43:41,319 --> 01:43:45,640
I said, wait a second, here's the feathers. Here's the apples.

1625
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:51,920
I said, I had three pictures. I had three pictures

1626
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:56,920
of the toe prints. They're not here. What's going on?

1627
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:01,319
They're not here. Then I swisched it again. There was

1628
01:44:01,359 --> 01:44:04,159
where I've had the recording for me doing the call.

1629
01:44:05,840 --> 01:44:09,079
Then I do it again and there's a picture of

1630
01:44:09,119 --> 01:44:12,479
the stuff that they made with the marbles. The heel

1631
01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:17,239
picture is gone, it's not there. What the heck's going on?

1632
01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:20,920
I'm not good with electronics. So I go back, say, here,

1633
01:44:21,079 --> 01:44:24,119
did something get erased? Can you tell me what happened?

1634
01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:27,880
She looks through it, she can't find anything. But those

1635
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:32,239
four pictures are missing, the ones I took of the

1636
01:44:32,279 --> 01:44:34,479
two prints, the one I took of the he'll print,

1637
01:44:35,239 --> 01:44:39,960
it's missing. Nothing else. All the others are in there. Weird.

1638
01:44:41,199 --> 01:44:44,920
I mean it's I took three pictures of the same thing.

1639
01:44:46,199 --> 01:44:50,079
So this was the day before my birthday. On my birthday,

1640
01:44:50,119 --> 01:44:52,640
I like to sleep in. The way I pay for

1641
01:44:52,720 --> 01:44:56,720
myself is I sleep in half the day. Don't try

1642
01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:58,279
to get me up till noon. If I get up

1643
01:44:58,279 --> 01:45:01,520
on my own, I do. I'm sleeping until noon. That's

1644
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:06,840
my birthday present to myself, always have been. So the

1645
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:10,760
next morning, it was gonna start raining at nine in

1646
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:14,920
the morning, and I'm like, dangn I'm gonna get these pictures.

1647
01:45:14,960 --> 01:45:18,039
I'm gonna get these pictures. So I set my alarm

1648
01:45:18,079 --> 01:45:23,000
for eight, got up, went down there. I go down

1649
01:45:23,039 --> 01:45:26,439
there to where the apples are on the tree. One

1650
01:45:26,439 --> 01:45:28,039
of them was gone, the other one was still there.

1651
01:45:28,039 --> 01:45:29,479
I don't know why they didn't get two of them.

1652
01:45:29,880 --> 01:45:34,399
I know one wasn't fill it up. I can't find

1653
01:45:34,399 --> 01:45:38,479
the two prints. They're not there. I even got my

1654
01:45:38,560 --> 01:45:40,319
phone to go back to look at the picture to

1655
01:45:40,319 --> 01:45:42,840
see where it was before I realized the reason I'm there,

1656
01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:45,199
you dummy, is because you couldn't find them the first time,

1657
01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:49,279
you know. So I'm sitting there and I'm looking around,

1658
01:45:49,319 --> 01:45:53,079
looking around. Then I can see just a little bit

1659
01:45:54,199 --> 01:45:58,520
and leaves have been brushed over it. And then I moved

1660
01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:01,600
some of the leaves, but I I could see like

1661
01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:05,960
it looked like it had been brushed. They weren't there.

1662
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:09,560
They got covered up. Then I go out to where

1663
01:46:09,560 --> 01:46:11,960
the hell print was. Then they could really see it

1664
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:14,640
because they didn't have that me leaves out there. They

1665
01:46:14,640 --> 01:46:17,479
had taken a branch and they had brushed it out.

1666
01:46:18,319 --> 01:46:21,119
There was no heelprint, but you could clearly see where

1667
01:46:21,119 --> 01:46:24,840
the brushings were to brush it out. So then I

1668
01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:32,039
started thinking about what they had done, and they were

1669
01:46:32,079 --> 01:46:39,079
basically giving me a message saying, we don't want you

1670
01:46:39,159 --> 01:46:42,840
to take flaster casts for our prints. And as a

1671
01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:45,199
matter of fact, for about another week, you couldn't find

1672
01:46:45,239 --> 01:46:47,479
any prints anywhere. And at that time they were leaving

1673
01:46:47,520 --> 01:46:51,560
their prints, they didn't leave any prints anywhere. They were

1674
01:46:51,600 --> 01:46:56,800
sending me a message, don't take castings off our foot prints,

1675
01:46:58,399 --> 01:47:06,720
and I don't now. Of course they've started avoiding anything

1676
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:10,359
soft now to put their footprint in, unless it's pure accident.

1677
01:47:10,399 --> 01:47:12,199
In fact, when they're going up and down the creek,

1678
01:47:13,039 --> 01:47:14,760
most of them can walk up and down the creek

1679
01:47:14,800 --> 01:47:17,319
and you can't see them because you got eight to

1680
01:47:17,359 --> 01:47:21,159
twelve foot banks. But they walk in the water. They

1681
01:47:21,199 --> 01:47:23,880
don't walk on the dirt on the side. They walk

1682
01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:27,119
in the water. So as a matter of fact, the

1683
01:47:27,159 --> 01:47:29,920
one print I saw down there near the bridge, it

1684
01:47:30,079 --> 01:47:32,199
was in the middle of the creek. It just happened

1685
01:47:32,199 --> 01:47:34,119
to be be where the dirt was. It was high

1686
01:47:34,199 --> 01:47:37,359
enough to be out where that footprint was. And I

1687
01:47:37,439 --> 01:47:39,600
realized that they're walking down the middle of that creek.

1688
01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:43,680
They're not walking where it's got sand in the ad.

1689
01:47:44,800 --> 01:47:50,399
So I mean things like this, the unusual is the usual.

1690
01:47:51,279 --> 01:47:55,239
I mean, it's it's just it's nuts. I mean, it

1691
01:47:55,359 --> 01:47:59,399
really is. I tell you. I tell you another very

1692
01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:03,399
neat experts that happened to me. One day. I was

1693
01:48:04,159 --> 01:48:11,920
like going to the cyberside. I don't know what I

1694
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:14,119
was getting. I was going to get something out of it.

1695
01:48:14,159 --> 01:48:16,079
I think I left a shirt or a hat or

1696
01:48:16,079 --> 01:48:18,399
something that I can't remember exactly now why I was

1697
01:48:18,439 --> 01:48:21,920
going to the cybaside, but I had left some food

1698
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:24,439
and sometimes if I can have too much food, and

1699
01:48:24,479 --> 01:48:27,399
I put in the gifted area and I leaving the

1700
01:48:27,439 --> 01:48:31,800
overflow back in the back of the cyberside. Well, this day,

1701
01:48:31,880 --> 01:48:35,439
the barn door, the rollers were messed up on it.

1702
01:48:35,479 --> 01:48:39,319
Actually one of the one of the wires had broken,

1703
01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:43,439
so I had it tied up and tied open. But

1704
01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:46,199
I had some stuff left in the back. I can't

1705
01:48:46,239 --> 01:48:48,199
remember exactly what I was in there. I didn't do

1706
01:48:48,239 --> 01:48:51,279
an inventory or anything. But I go back there and

1707
01:48:51,359 --> 01:48:56,359
there is a rock they had gifted me, a quartz

1708
01:48:56,600 --> 01:49:00,680
rock busted open right there beside the food food. Now,

1709
01:49:00,760 --> 01:49:02,640
all the food wasn't gone, there was still some food

1710
01:49:02,680 --> 01:49:11,800
in there, but there was there was that rock there

1711
01:49:12,039 --> 01:49:14,199
beside it. So I'm like, why is this rock here?

1712
01:49:15,399 --> 01:49:17,119
I said, I bet they took some food out of

1713
01:49:17,119 --> 01:49:19,960
this and they gifted me that rock, you know, for

1714
01:49:20,039 --> 01:49:23,880
the food. Then I started thinking, well, let me go

1715
01:49:23,920 --> 01:49:25,720
get what I've got and go ahead and put it

1716
01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:29,000
out for them. And I go out and it was

1717
01:49:29,079 --> 01:49:31,680
so quiet in my backyard, and that's usually where all

1718
01:49:31,720 --> 01:49:34,680
the birds are. It was so quiet it was crazy.

1719
01:49:35,640 --> 01:49:39,840
I get down next to the gifting station. I hear

1720
01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:44,920
two doves cooing really loud, and I mean louder than

1721
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:48,640
I've ever heard dove coop before. And I've never heard

1722
01:49:48,760 --> 01:49:51,840
dove down there at all. And I'm thinking to myself,

1723
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:54,399
I wonder if that's two that are down here, and

1724
01:49:55,800 --> 01:49:58,760
they are happy and excited because I'm putting stuff out

1725
01:49:58,760 --> 01:50:03,399
because I hadn't put anything out on and when they

1726
01:50:03,439 --> 01:50:05,640
hadn't put it out and went back to the house.

1727
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:11,640
Later on that night, it was probably nine thirty or ten.

1728
01:50:11,800 --> 01:50:15,840
Me and my son are in the living room watching

1729
01:50:15,880 --> 01:50:20,279
a movie. All of a sudden, they have a little

1730
01:50:20,479 --> 01:50:24,439
trail they walk right behind the bathroom window in our bathroom.

1731
01:50:24,680 --> 01:50:27,279
In fact, they've tapped on it sometimes while I'm using

1732
01:50:27,279 --> 01:50:29,840
the bathroom and I said, I just say, hey, how

1733
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:35,119
you doing? You know? Then they stop. But anyway, there's

1734
01:50:35,159 --> 01:50:38,760
a little trail back there. All of a sudden, I said,

1735
01:50:40,359 --> 01:50:44,119
do you hear that? He goes, yeah, I do. It's

1736
01:50:44,159 --> 01:50:47,760
doves cooing. I said, doves do not coo at night.

1737
01:50:48,439 --> 01:50:51,520
I said, that is right behind the bathroom. It's louder

1738
01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:55,760
than the TV. We had a loud If you put

1739
01:50:55,800 --> 01:50:59,039
a straight line to where it would have been, it

1740
01:50:59,079 --> 01:51:03,239
was in a straight line, they would have been seven

1741
01:51:03,279 --> 01:51:07,920
eight yards through the wall. But you could hear the

1742
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:15,600
dust cooing. And he said, now, Dad, do you really

1743
01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:21,159
think I said, absolutely, it's a big foot because right

1744
01:51:21,199 --> 01:51:24,560
there in between where that sound was coming from or

1745
01:51:24,680 --> 01:51:27,199
rose bushes and then there's a little goup to the

1746
01:51:27,239 --> 01:51:30,840
wall to the bathroom, and they walk right there between

1747
01:51:30,880 --> 01:51:34,720
those rose bushes and the wall, and that's where it's

1748
01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:37,399
coming from. It want' a tree, it wanted anything like

1749
01:51:37,439 --> 01:51:40,840
that and anything. If people know about dove, they are

1750
01:51:40,880 --> 01:51:43,960
not going to make sounds at night because they're asking

1751
01:51:44,079 --> 01:51:46,079
for an owl or something to snatch them up and

1752
01:51:46,079 --> 01:51:49,960
eat them, because now they've given their location away. But

1753
01:51:50,079 --> 01:51:52,720
I said, yep, that's what it is. It's a big foot.

1754
01:51:53,039 --> 01:51:56,159
And I just laughed about it. But evidently they were

1755
01:51:56,359 --> 01:51:58,960
letting me know they were there. That's what it was.

1756
01:52:00,159 --> 01:52:02,359
That's that's what I'm talking about, the weird stuff that

1757
01:52:02,479 --> 01:52:05,760
happens that if you didn't know the outdoors, if you

1758
01:52:05,760 --> 01:52:10,159
didn't know the animals, you wouldn't understand that it's not

1759
01:52:10,319 --> 01:52:12,960
going to be a dove you know, there's no trees

1760
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:16,960
over there, it's nighttime, and here's two doves coo, and

1761
01:52:17,159 --> 01:52:19,199
the same as what was down at the gifting station,

1762
01:52:20,439 --> 01:52:26,199
and yep, it's a big foot. But anyway, see, when

1763
01:52:26,279 --> 01:52:29,199
you ask me these questions, it keeps triggering things that

1764
01:52:29,239 --> 01:52:31,920
have happened here because it's been that much it's happened here.

1765
01:52:33,560 --> 01:52:36,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I know exactly what you mean. And throughout

1766
01:52:36,800 --> 01:52:40,000
the years you build up so many strange experiences that

1767
01:52:40,079 --> 01:52:43,399
it's hard to tell everything in just one sitting.

1768
01:52:45,039 --> 01:52:47,800
Speaker 2: It really is. I mean, I took a book one time.

1769
01:52:47,880 --> 01:52:50,319
I was gonna and now I tried to just do

1770
01:52:50,399 --> 01:52:54,520
it in the phone taking pictures, but I had this

1771
01:52:54,560 --> 01:52:56,920
little book, note book, and I was going to write

1772
01:52:57,000 --> 01:53:04,520
down things that happened a month or less, and it

1773
01:53:04,560 --> 01:53:08,800
was full. I just like bumping. It's too much. I mean,

1774
01:53:09,159 --> 01:53:11,359
I've heard some of them make so many sounds down

1775
01:53:11,359 --> 01:53:15,119
there that I know is not that animal that it

1776
01:53:15,199 --> 01:53:18,520
seems like they can imitate anything they want to imitate.

1777
01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:22,800
They can imitate car doors closing. Oh you want to

1778
01:53:22,800 --> 01:53:26,239
hear a good one. Here's a good one. So I

1779
01:53:26,279 --> 01:53:30,039
went to the gifting station and I put some food

1780
01:53:30,079 --> 01:53:33,199
out for them. I come back up the trail passed

1781
01:53:33,880 --> 01:53:37,039
towards our house. I'm the only one at the house.

1782
01:53:37,279 --> 01:53:40,920
Nobody else is here. I go put a bag of

1783
01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:45,119
corn in the stump feeder up there. Over here in

1784
01:53:45,199 --> 01:53:49,079
front of the house, in a huge tree, I hear

1785
01:53:49,159 --> 01:53:56,039
a horn honk, and then it honked again. Behind. I

1786
01:53:56,039 --> 01:53:57,800
can see the front of my house, in the back

1787
01:53:57,800 --> 01:53:59,399
of my house from where it's at because it is

1788
01:53:59,520 --> 01:54:04,640
one end up house. There's nobody near my car, there's

1789
01:54:04,760 --> 01:54:08,439
nobody home to mess with anything. I don't have my

1790
01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:12,359
keys with me. But here's my horn honking in this

1791
01:54:12,520 --> 01:54:19,000
tree in the front yard, way up high, this huge tree,

1792
01:54:19,439 --> 01:54:23,239
my horns honking, And I'm like, yep, so letting them

1793
01:54:23,279 --> 01:54:25,840
know that I'm up here, they can come on and

1794
01:54:25,840 --> 01:54:29,000
get it. I mean, just stuff like that, I mean,

1795
01:54:29,199 --> 01:54:34,680
just how do how do they imitate things so perfectly

1796
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:36,800
like that? And I not only knew it was a horn,

1797
01:54:36,840 --> 01:54:39,560
but I knew it was my horn. And they've heard

1798
01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:42,960
my horn before because if I get groceries sometimes and

1799
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:45,159
I need got a whole bunch, I'll hold my horn

1800
01:54:45,199 --> 01:54:46,880
for the kids to come and help me get it out,

1801
01:54:47,640 --> 01:54:51,000
so they know they've heard my hon my horn before

1802
01:54:51,199 --> 01:54:53,319
you know. And here I'm listening to my horn up

1803
01:54:53,319 --> 01:54:58,119
in this big old oak tree in the front, and

1804
01:54:58,159 --> 01:54:59,960
it's just crazy, it really is.

1805
01:55:01,800 --> 01:55:09,119
Speaker 1: Did they ever seem aggressive or mostly curious?

1806
01:55:09,159 --> 01:55:12,600
Speaker 2: The only time that I'm first off, I've never been

1807
01:55:12,640 --> 01:55:17,000
afraid of them. I've never gotten the thing of fear.

1808
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:23,560
Even when it was the Jurassic Park moments, I wasn't afraid.

1809
01:55:24,520 --> 01:55:27,920
I just knew that they wanted me to leave, okay,

1810
01:55:28,039 --> 01:55:31,239
And I'm smart enough to know if something wants you

1811
01:55:31,279 --> 01:55:35,279
to leave, just leave. You know it's not worth But

1812
01:55:35,560 --> 01:55:40,199
I never felt threatened at all. I do have something

1813
01:55:40,279 --> 01:55:43,600
that happened that is really really really strange, but it

1814
01:55:43,640 --> 01:55:46,960
was the same circumstance. It was where a big male

1815
01:55:47,880 --> 01:55:51,000
was there. Two weeks later on that one, I found

1816
01:55:51,039 --> 01:55:55,520
a baby footprint and he wanted me to leave, and

1817
01:55:55,600 --> 01:56:03,720
he was trying to get me to leave basically, I'm

1818
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:06,239
not going to say aggressively, he was telling me to leave,

1819
01:56:07,239 --> 01:56:15,359
you need to leave now. So then, anyway, that's another

1820
01:56:16,079 --> 01:56:19,359
weird story. And they got some weird stories too like

1821
01:56:19,479 --> 01:56:22,680
that one. But anyway, two weeks later I found a

1822
01:56:22,680 --> 01:56:26,039
baby footprint down by the creek because the creek runs

1823
01:56:26,119 --> 01:56:29,680
right next to the pond, and he wanted me to leave.

1824
01:56:30,119 --> 01:56:33,760
My wife was mowing the grass with a cybeaside and

1825
01:56:33,800 --> 01:56:36,000
I was mowing the grass and got up too high.

1826
01:56:36,359 --> 01:56:39,199
O was mows and mowing the edge with a pushmore

1827
01:56:39,760 --> 01:56:43,199
because when they cut it with a bulldozer, the side

1828
01:56:43,199 --> 01:56:45,840
goes straight down in the waters two to three foot

1829
01:56:45,880 --> 01:56:48,119
from the top of the bank. So I was just

1830
01:56:48,239 --> 01:56:51,039
running over it up to cut the banks and stuff.

1831
01:56:51,079 --> 01:56:53,479
I don't want her flipping the cybe aside over trying

1832
01:56:53,479 --> 01:56:57,439
to cut that. But anyway, it's again, it wanted me

1833
01:56:57,479 --> 01:57:03,399
to leave, but it a thing like fear of attack.

1834
01:57:03,560 --> 01:57:10,399
It was wanting just wanted me to leave. So I

1835
01:57:10,399 --> 01:57:13,279
don't know if that makes any sense, But I never

1836
01:57:13,359 --> 01:57:16,239
felt fear from him. Now I still do this day.

1837
01:57:17,000 --> 01:57:20,640
Don't carry any I've got plenty of guns. I still

1838
01:57:20,680 --> 01:57:24,119
do this day. Don't carry a gun with me anywhere

1839
01:57:24,119 --> 01:57:26,840
on the property. I carry a shovel, and I carry

1840
01:57:26,880 --> 01:57:29,680
a rake, and I carry a little nine piece piece.

1841
01:57:30,520 --> 01:57:32,520
It's got a knife, his crew driving all that stuff

1842
01:57:32,560 --> 01:57:35,359
if I need it for anything. But I just never

1843
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:44,119
never afraid of them. So it gets crazy or done that.

1844
01:57:44,920 --> 01:57:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, And have you ever been to the Sasquatch Museum

1845
01:57:48,920 --> 01:57:50,600
in Blue Ridge, Georgia before.

1846
01:57:51,640 --> 01:57:53,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I've been there several times.

1847
01:57:54,600 --> 01:57:58,159
Speaker 1: That scat that they have in there from a supposed sasquatch,

1848
01:57:58,399 --> 01:58:01,359
is that what you were finding near the property.

1849
01:58:02,319 --> 01:58:05,600
Speaker 2: It was bigger than that. Oh my gosh, it was

1850
01:58:05,600 --> 01:58:06,279
bigger than that.

1851
01:58:06,560 --> 01:58:08,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like prehistoric scat.

1852
01:58:09,640 --> 01:58:12,479
Speaker 2: I mean it was I'm telling you, if you would

1853
01:58:12,479 --> 01:58:15,199
have gotten that into a toilet, you would have to

1854
01:58:15,239 --> 01:58:17,239
flush it for two to three days and put a

1855
01:58:17,239 --> 01:58:19,720
bunch of draino and stuff to get it down. I mean,

1856
01:58:19,800 --> 01:58:24,119
it was just unbelievable. So I wouldn't want them to

1857
01:58:24,119 --> 01:58:25,640
take I would want them to go to the bathroom

1858
01:58:25,640 --> 01:58:27,359
in my toilet. I guarantee you that.

1859
01:58:27,640 --> 01:58:30,560
Speaker 1: Maybe some of the vocalizations you were hearing, is these

1860
01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:32,039
things trying to push that thing.

1861
01:58:31,920 --> 01:58:38,399
Speaker 2: Out maybe made me very possibly, I think that would

1862
01:58:38,399 --> 01:58:38,880
be more.

1863
01:58:38,840 --> 01:58:43,159
Speaker 1: Like a oh yeah, that would have been terrible.

1864
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:47,119
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh me. Yeah.

1865
01:58:47,159 --> 01:58:51,000
Speaker 1: But so overall, you believe you attracted the sasquatch by

1866
01:58:51,039 --> 01:58:56,039
planting fruit trees, berry bushes and creating food plots for

1867
01:58:56,119 --> 01:58:58,800
the deer and the wildlife in the area, and the

1868
01:58:58,880 --> 01:59:00,560
pond stalking it with fish.

1869
01:59:01,600 --> 01:59:05,960
Speaker 2: There was already a group here. I think all that

1870
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:08,920
along with it be in a safe spot. See, they

1871
01:59:08,960 --> 01:59:11,800
watched us several years before they even let us know

1872
01:59:12,279 --> 01:59:15,319
they were here. It was not like as soon as

1873
01:59:15,359 --> 01:59:18,119
we moved in that half ANDed. No, it was three

1874
01:59:18,199 --> 01:59:23,000
or four years after we got here that they It

1875
01:59:23,039 --> 01:59:25,680
was when I put the cutout, the Christmas cut out

1876
01:59:25,680 --> 01:59:28,720
off a big foot in the backyard. I think they

1877
01:59:28,800 --> 01:59:32,359
possibly thought we knew they were there, and they decided

1878
01:59:32,439 --> 01:59:35,119
then to let us know that they were there, and

1879
01:59:35,159 --> 01:59:37,640
that's when they went whistling at night, and then that's

1880
01:59:37,680 --> 01:59:40,039
when they hit the house. I think they were letting

1881
01:59:40,079 --> 01:59:42,720
us know that they were there because they thought we

1882
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:44,800
knew they were there by putting that big foot cut

1883
01:59:44,840 --> 01:59:48,840
out out there. That was purely by accident. I mean,

1884
01:59:48,880 --> 01:59:52,720
that was just one of those things. It's just pure accident.

1885
01:59:53,119 --> 01:59:56,319
So they let us know that they're And that's another thing.

1886
01:59:58,039 --> 01:59:59,600
They were here for all that time and they let

1887
01:59:59,680 --> 02:00:02,439
us know that there. But I think all this stuff

1888
02:00:02,479 --> 02:00:07,239
that we did, I think they saw us feeding the animals,

1889
02:00:07,279 --> 02:00:10,560
they saw us planting stuff for the deer. They saw

1890
02:00:10,640 --> 02:00:12,520
us not shooting them and kill them. We put a

1891
02:00:12,680 --> 02:00:16,000
we did put a pop up line down here right

1892
02:00:16,039 --> 02:00:17,840
off the front yard to watch the front field, and

1893
02:00:17,880 --> 02:00:19,720
we'd go down there in the winter and watch watch

1894
02:00:19,800 --> 02:00:21,479
them come out and eat and stuff like that. We'd

1895
02:00:21,479 --> 02:00:25,159
never take a gun, but we would sit and watch them. Now,

1896
02:00:25,199 --> 02:00:28,479
I did find out the rough way that that was

1897
02:00:28,520 --> 02:00:33,800
one of their big boy trails, because they eventually we

1898
02:00:34,119 --> 02:00:36,920
were having a game between that were pushing it into

1899
02:00:36,960 --> 02:00:39,079
the woods out of the trail, and then I would

1900
02:00:39,079 --> 02:00:42,600
put it back out there. Well, the last time, I said, okay,

1901
02:00:42,840 --> 02:00:45,800
I don't know what's moving this, if the wind's doing it,

1902
02:00:46,279 --> 02:00:48,479
but it's not going anywhere. Now. I put two big

1903
02:00:48,600 --> 02:00:51,720
zip ties on a tree and the metal pole on

1904
02:00:51,760 --> 02:00:53,319
it all the way up and down. I think I

1905
02:00:53,399 --> 02:00:56,880
put two of them on it, one above a limb

1906
02:00:56,920 --> 02:01:01,000
and then one above another limb down there around the metal. Well.

1907
02:01:01,039 --> 02:01:03,760
The next time I go down there, the metals broke.

1908
02:01:04,079 --> 02:01:07,039
The zip ties are broke. These zip ties were those

1909
02:01:07,199 --> 02:01:10,479
big wide ones, and there's a hole in the top

1910
02:01:10,520 --> 02:01:13,479
of it and it had been shoved into the woods. Again,

1911
02:01:14,960 --> 02:01:18,960
I'm like, uh, oh, it wasn't the wind doing it.

1912
02:01:18,960 --> 02:01:21,800
It was my little buddies in the woods. And it

1913
02:01:21,960 --> 02:01:24,079
was in there one of their big boy trails. And

1914
02:01:24,119 --> 02:01:27,159
the male evidently didn't appreciate me putting it there and

1915
02:01:27,800 --> 02:01:29,640
where I was gonna make sure it didn't move. He

1916
02:01:29,720 --> 02:01:34,560
was gonna make sure it moved. So just things like

1917
02:01:34,640 --> 02:01:38,640
that happened. I mean here, it just it just happens.

1918
02:01:38,800 --> 02:01:42,680
I mean, what else can you say in the woods,

1919
02:01:43,079 --> 02:01:45,560
I'm gonna bounce this at you. What else can you

1920
02:01:45,600 --> 02:01:48,640
say in the woods? Can rip two zip ties, break

1921
02:01:48,720 --> 02:01:51,800
that pole and put a hole rip a hole in

1922
02:01:51,880 --> 02:01:54,319
the top of a pop up line that I'm six

1923
02:01:54,479 --> 02:01:58,399
four and can stand in and push it into the woods.

1924
02:01:58,880 --> 02:02:02,760
What other animal can do that? Yeah?

1925
02:02:02,800 --> 02:02:05,960
Speaker 1: And did they ever create structure areas that they put

1926
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:09,319
the axes up, the arches, tps, things like that.

1927
02:02:10,039 --> 02:02:12,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, we had They put up hides

1928
02:02:12,920 --> 02:02:15,840
down by the gifting station. They put up access as

1929
02:02:15,880 --> 02:02:20,880
a matter of fact that I found out that there

1930
02:02:20,920 --> 02:02:23,520
was an X down there. And they make x's I

1931
02:02:23,520 --> 02:02:25,399
think for more than one reason. I think they make

1932
02:02:25,479 --> 02:02:28,199
exes to mark their boundary to other Bigfoot, but they

1933
02:02:28,279 --> 02:02:33,359
put other xes to tell us to keep out. Because

1934
02:02:33,399 --> 02:02:36,520
I've had one X where they I went in to

1935
02:02:36,560 --> 02:02:38,760
look at it. Next team my time I go down there,

1936
02:02:38,760 --> 02:02:40,920
there's an X on the ground and an X there,

1937
02:02:41,600 --> 02:02:43,600
and I go to where the X is on the ground,

1938
02:02:43,760 --> 02:02:45,439
and then the next time I go down there, there's

1939
02:02:45,439 --> 02:02:47,279
an X on the road before I get to that

1940
02:02:47,560 --> 02:02:49,880
at X on the ground, and that X so there,

1941
02:02:50,479 --> 02:02:53,760
but that's right and near where that hill is where

1942
02:02:53,760 --> 02:02:58,199
that one's behind, twenty five yards behind. So they didn't

1943
02:02:58,199 --> 02:03:01,199
want me to go in there at all. Then on

1944
02:03:01,319 --> 02:03:03,720
a road where I drive in and out, there was

1945
02:03:03,760 --> 02:03:06,279
one there for a long time, right next to the creek,

1946
02:03:07,159 --> 02:03:11,439
and I let another person, a couple of people look

1947
02:03:11,479 --> 02:03:15,000
at it. They were looking at it and investigating it. Now,

1948
02:03:15,079 --> 02:03:19,520
this thing had been here for eight months, and after

1949
02:03:19,520 --> 02:03:22,119
they looked at it, they ribbed it down. They didn't

1950
02:03:22,119 --> 02:03:24,439
mind if I saw it, but they didn't want me

1951
02:03:24,520 --> 02:03:29,640
showing it to other people. So something I learned is

1952
02:03:30,520 --> 02:03:35,199
when i've got something like that, you know, they don't

1953
02:03:35,239 --> 02:03:37,840
mind if I see it. They don't mind if I

1954
02:03:37,880 --> 02:03:40,520
take a picture of it, but they don't want me

1955
02:03:40,560 --> 02:03:43,279
to have other people see it. It's a matter of fact.

1956
02:03:45,199 --> 02:03:49,760
Scott and Sheila came here one time during the nursery.

1957
02:03:50,199 --> 02:03:53,319
It was after the nursery, but I knew during the

1958
02:03:53,399 --> 02:03:59,720
nursery that the matriarchal mom or the adult mom was

1959
02:04:00,520 --> 02:04:03,479
at the top of one of the ridges. Down below

1960
02:04:03,520 --> 02:04:07,000
it is where the baby stayed. She's looking down on them.

1961
02:04:08,039 --> 02:04:13,520
And then there's a couple that were different places, but

1962
02:04:13,680 --> 02:04:16,720
that's where I think the babies were stayed. Now that's

1963
02:04:16,760 --> 02:04:20,159
an area I don't go in. There's certain areas of

1964
02:04:20,199 --> 02:04:23,920
the property that is theirs, so I don't go in it.

1965
02:04:25,079 --> 02:04:27,640
And there's a lot of stuff that people have seen

1966
02:04:27,800 --> 02:04:31,880
in those places that I hadn't gone. But anyway, they

1967
02:04:31,880 --> 02:04:37,880
were in there. They found a structure. They called it

1968
02:04:37,920 --> 02:04:43,279
a hide, but it was made with intertwined vines where

1969
02:04:43,319 --> 02:04:48,079
two trails meet in front of where the babies were

1970
02:04:48,159 --> 02:04:50,840
under her, and then where those babies were under there

1971
02:04:50,960 --> 02:04:54,560
they found a found a hide that was as big

1972
02:04:54,600 --> 02:04:57,359
as a two room apartment, and in the middle of

1973
02:04:57,399 --> 02:05:00,880
it there were sticks across it. The leaves in there

1974
02:05:00,920 --> 02:05:04,279
were all fresh and they're all stamped down. And on

1975
02:05:04,319 --> 02:05:06,720
the other side of those two sticks, they said a

1976
02:05:06,720 --> 02:05:10,279
little like a playpen area. And so when I told

1977
02:05:10,319 --> 02:05:13,720
them after I didn't tell them anything at first where

1978
02:05:13,760 --> 02:05:15,560
it was or anything. I let them find it and

1979
02:05:15,600 --> 02:05:18,720
I said, yeah, I said, the mom was up there

1980
02:05:18,760 --> 02:05:22,279
on top of the hill. This is where the baby stays.

1981
02:05:22,319 --> 02:05:24,680
You looked right down on and then that other one

1982
02:05:24,720 --> 02:05:28,000
at the end would either hunt for food or it

1983
02:05:28,039 --> 02:05:31,000
would be an outload to make sure nothing was coming

1984
02:05:31,039 --> 02:05:34,439
near the babies. So they saw that, and still to

1985
02:05:34,479 --> 02:05:36,960
this day they say that's one of the most amazing

1986
02:05:37,039 --> 02:05:39,159
things they've ever seen, because they hadn't seen anything like

1987
02:05:39,199 --> 02:05:44,640
that anywhere else. Because they have vines just intertwined a

1988
02:05:44,640 --> 02:05:50,520
perfect hide. So I've seen stuff like that here. There's

1989
02:05:50,560 --> 02:05:53,479
been all kinds of stuff, bent trees with logs on

1990
02:05:53,520 --> 02:05:57,560
it holding me in down, and just you name it. Arches.

1991
02:05:58,079 --> 02:06:00,199
I think I found a place one time that where

1992
02:06:00,239 --> 02:06:02,960
they were the little ones practice out of mark arches

1993
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:08,960
because every tree in that area was arched everyone. There

1994
02:06:09,039 --> 02:06:13,119
was not a single tree shorter than twelve foot that

1995
02:06:13,239 --> 02:06:19,359
one arched. Every one of them were arched. Wow.

1996
02:06:19,680 --> 02:06:24,479
Speaker 1: And did your family ever experience anything else unusual in

1997
02:06:24,560 --> 02:06:28,600
the house or on the property other than bigfoot?

1998
02:06:30,560 --> 02:06:39,399
Speaker 2: No? No, not other than bigfoot? Of course, you know,

1999
02:06:40,800 --> 02:06:46,000
some of the sounds we hear are weird, so some

2000
02:06:46,119 --> 02:06:48,560
of them are different. So I don't know if that

2001
02:06:48,560 --> 02:06:51,079
could be anything different. But we have so much we

2002
02:06:51,640 --> 02:06:53,359
do have a lot of wildlife here as a matter

2003
02:06:53,399 --> 02:06:57,119
of fact, yesterday or the day before, maybe the day

2004
02:06:57,159 --> 02:07:01,920
before yesterday. Then it was yesterday. I was out there

2005
02:07:02,000 --> 02:07:05,439
watching a baby hawk fly, oh no, no, maybe hawk,

2006
02:07:05,479 --> 02:07:08,159
a baby bald eagle fly over our house in a

2007
02:07:08,159 --> 02:07:11,520
circle for about fifteen minutes. Those things were so beautiful

2008
02:07:11,520 --> 02:07:13,640
when they fly. It was just flying in circles above

2009
02:07:13,680 --> 02:07:16,119
our house looking for squirrels. And then when it would

2010
02:07:16,199 --> 02:07:19,119
go and kick in those wings men, those things can move.

2011
02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:25,079
But I'd seen a pair of full grown adult eagles

2012
02:07:25,079 --> 02:07:30,680
here before on a deer kill that the coodes killed,

2013
02:07:31,079 --> 02:07:34,760
and they went down right by our driveway, and when

2014
02:07:34,800 --> 02:07:39,239
I left out, I saw three buzzards on it. When

2015
02:07:39,239 --> 02:07:41,560
I came back, all of a sudden, this huge thing

2016
02:07:41,640 --> 02:07:44,319
is on top of it, standing right on top of it,

2017
02:07:44,359 --> 02:07:46,680
and only one. And then as I got close to it,

2018
02:07:46,680 --> 02:07:50,279
it flew up into the tree, a beautiful full grown

2019
02:07:50,319 --> 02:07:53,199
bald eagle. Because bald eagle would chase the buzzards off

2020
02:07:53,279 --> 02:07:56,079
to the meat, that's why the buzzers were gone. And

2021
02:07:56,159 --> 02:07:59,000
it was there eating the meat. And then when I

2022
02:07:59,039 --> 02:08:00,760
went back with my side aside to see if I

2023
02:08:00,760 --> 02:08:03,640
could get a good picture of it, another one flew

2024
02:08:03,680 --> 02:08:05,479
out of the tree. So there were two of them.

2025
02:08:05,560 --> 02:08:09,399
It was a pair of bald eagles that were own it.

2026
02:08:09,479 --> 02:08:14,880
One was watching and one was eating. But they're absolutely

2027
02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:15,800
beautiful animals.

2028
02:08:17,239 --> 02:08:21,680
Speaker 1: No, yeah, absolutely, all right, Neil, we're getting short on time,

2029
02:08:21,800 --> 02:08:26,239
but I appreciate you for sharing the rest of what

2030
02:08:26,319 --> 02:08:28,359
you experience on the property, and I know you have

2031
02:08:28,439 --> 02:08:32,680
a ton more, and yeah, I really do appreciate you

2032
02:08:32,720 --> 02:08:36,439
taking time out of your life to share these experiences

2033
02:08:36,520 --> 02:08:39,319
and the books that you've written about what happened on

2034
02:08:39,359 --> 02:08:42,159
the property. And if people want to know more, I

2035
02:08:42,319 --> 02:08:47,000
suggest that they check out these books because that's important information.

2036
02:08:47,199 --> 02:08:50,520
Not all of us can experience bigfoot activity or have

2037
02:08:50,600 --> 02:08:54,560
the opportunity opportunity to do so, but also people who

2038
02:08:54,600 --> 02:08:59,359
have experienced bigfoot activity, you're not going to experience everything

2039
02:08:59,479 --> 02:09:02,600
on your property, so it's good to listen to other

2040
02:09:02,640 --> 02:09:05,640
people's stories so we can kind of put everything together.

2041
02:09:08,159 --> 02:09:10,479
Speaker 2: If I put you if I send you a picture

2042
02:09:10,520 --> 02:09:12,560
of it, or I can send you the names, can

2043
02:09:12,600 --> 02:09:16,920
you put them on the the part of it that

2044
02:09:17,039 --> 02:09:19,279
they read, Yeah, they can see where to find it.

2045
02:09:19,359 --> 02:09:23,239
Speaker 1: Absolutely. If you can send me the links through text

2046
02:09:23,279 --> 02:09:26,199
message and I'll attach them to the video and hopefully

2047
02:09:26,760 --> 02:09:29,319
people will purchase these books and check them out.

2048
02:09:30,399 --> 02:09:31,640
Speaker 2: All right, sounds good.

2049
02:09:32,239 --> 02:09:35,319
Speaker 1: All right, Neil. If you experience more on your property,

2050
02:09:36,319 --> 02:09:39,600
definitely contact me. I want to hear what else unfolds

2051
02:09:39,680 --> 02:09:40,279
in the future.

2052
02:09:41,079 --> 02:09:43,159
Speaker 2: Oh there's a lot more. I didn't even tell you

2053
02:09:43,199 --> 02:09:47,319
about what the lady that's here said, and it happened

2054
02:09:47,359 --> 02:09:49,600
to her five times in the last two weeks. It's

2055
02:09:49,720 --> 02:09:50,319
not a WEIRDO.

2056
02:09:50,840 --> 02:09:52,720
Speaker 1: Think we'll have to do a part three then.

2057
02:09:54,079 --> 02:09:55,199
Speaker 2: All right, sounds good.

2058
02:09:55,479 --> 02:09:58,079
Speaker 1: All right, sounds good, and I appreciate your time today.

2059
02:09:58,920 --> 02:10:01,159
All right, talk to you late, yep, talk to you later.

2060
02:10:01,760 --> 02:10:05,640
Speaker 2: All right, bye, bye, Neil.

2061
02:10:05,720 --> 02:10:07,720
Speaker 1: Thank you again for coming back to share more of

2062
02:10:07,760 --> 02:10:11,239
your experiences in the stories from your family. Long term

2063
02:10:11,279 --> 02:10:14,920
observations like these are rare, and they give listeners another

2064
02:10:15,000 --> 02:10:20,000
perspective on what may be happening in the forest of Georgia.

2065
02:10:20,199 --> 02:10:23,880
I think it's really interesting hearing these encounters from family

2066
02:10:23,920 --> 02:10:27,920
members who have encountered family groups of Sasquatch. And I

2067
02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:32,000
do believe the Sasquatch seek out certain properties to raise

2068
02:10:32,039 --> 02:10:36,840
their little ones, and they're always following food, water and cover.

2069
02:10:37,079 --> 02:10:40,520
But perhaps they stay away from the deep remote areas

2070
02:10:40,960 --> 02:10:44,760
when they have these little ones because they are opportunistic

2071
02:10:44,800 --> 02:10:48,439
creatures and they are looking for an easy meal. But

2072
02:10:48,520 --> 02:10:50,840
who really knows, right That's why I called a channel

2073
02:10:50,880 --> 02:10:55,159
Sasquatch Theory, because we can only theorize what is truly

2074
02:10:55,239 --> 02:10:57,199
going on out there. I know a lot of people

2075
02:10:57,319 --> 02:11:03,680
have definitive answers, but the truth is, no one really knows.

2076
02:11:05,119 --> 02:11:07,720
If you have a bigfoot encounter you've been bottling up

2077
02:11:07,760 --> 02:11:11,439
for years, feel free to reach out sometime at Sasquatchthory

2078
02:11:11,479 --> 02:11:15,760
at outlook dot com. And it's certainly not healthy to

2079
02:11:15,920 --> 02:11:20,520
keep your encounter to yourself, as you will feel disconnected

2080
02:11:20,680 --> 02:11:24,560
from society if you do that, and you will definitely

2081
02:11:24,560 --> 02:11:26,880
feel a lot better after talking about it and sharing

2082
02:11:26,920 --> 02:11:31,279
it openly with other like minded people. If you made

2083
02:11:31,319 --> 02:11:33,760
it this far into the podcast, comment I believe in

2084
02:11:33,800 --> 02:11:36,000
Bigfoot down below, and that'll let me know that you

2085
02:11:36,079 --> 02:11:39,880
watch the entire podcast. And yeah, I really do appreciate

2086
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:43,439
those who watch every single one of my videos. It

2087
02:11:43,479 --> 02:11:48,119
truly means a lot. And if you want more footage

2088
02:11:48,399 --> 02:11:50,840
early access to my videos, you can join the membership

2089
02:11:50,880 --> 02:11:53,439
and it helps support the channel. And with all that

2090
02:11:53,479 --> 02:12:04,960
being said, you guys, be safe out in the woods,
