<v Speaker 1>Hello Cliff, Hello Bobo. How are you doing today, sir?

7
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:35.320
<v Speaker 3>Pretty good? Pretty good?

8
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:35.840
<v Speaker 4>What's happening?

9
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 1>Just uh, I don't know, work and stuff and you know,

10
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I just got back in town from Kentucky. I was

11
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:45.039
<v Speaker 1>at a cryptid con. Oh yeah, great event. I really

12
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed myself. A lot of good people out there. I

13
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>saw Tom Shay. Tom Shay is of course a national

14
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.439
<v Speaker 1>treasure in every single way international pretty much pretty much.

15
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:56.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

16
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.399
<v Speaker 1>He passed on a couple of casts for the NABC.

17
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>One is a gift to the NABC, which is a

18
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:05.760
<v Speaker 1>fantastic cast from Trimble County in twenty eighteen. The cast

19
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>is from an individual named Goliath that we've been tracking

20
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.400
<v Speaker 1>over the last few years. There's some dramaticallypics on it

21
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>that maybe came from the Sasquatch, maybe came from introduction

22
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>or being tainted somehow, you know, like maybe Tom touched

23
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>the foot print before his cast. Not really sure. I

24
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>actually I'm working with a forensic expert who is an

25
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>expert in dramaticlyphics and ballistics of all things, and he

26
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.239
<v Speaker 1>has some questions about the cast. So I was talking

27
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.319
<v Speaker 1>to Tom about that, and of course Tom has nothing

28
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>to hide. He wants everybody to look at these things

29
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 1>with a really close eye and just get to the

30
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 1>bottom of everything, get to the truth of all this.

31
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:40.879
<v Speaker 1>So I was talking to Tom about this cast and

32
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 1>about the concerns this one gentleman had. He's a police

33
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 1>officer in Georgia. And Tom says, well, I'll tell you what,

34
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 1>I'll just give you the cast for the NABC. I'll

35
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>just donate the cast to you and then you can

36
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>make a higher quality mold than what you have and

37
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 1>then send it off to him. Which is really a

38
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 1>fantastic thing and so generous and really speaks volumes to

39
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Tom Shay's character that he he just wants qualified people

40
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 1>to closely examine the evidence and get to the truth.

41
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>So I got that one back at home, and also

42
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.199
<v Speaker 1>while while he was bringing a cast, I specifically asked him,

43
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, now, there are two fantastic handprints that Tom

44
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.479
<v Speaker 1>cast in twenty sixteen, not that real big one that

45
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 1>you got to hold in person. But there's these two

46
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 1>other ones, right, and it's the same hand that the

47
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.599
<v Speaker 1>fingers are curled in one and protruding to the ground,

48
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:30.199
<v Speaker 1>and the other well, apparently there were there was a

49
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>footprint associated with it. Tom sent me a photograph of

50
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 1>the two hand casts and a footprint. I go, Tom,

51
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>there's a footprint. He goes, yeah, I never told you that.

52
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 1>I said, no, he never told me that. So well, hey,

53
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>and so like a year goes by or eight months

54
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>go by, and I figured out, I'm going to see

55
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Tom at Cryptidcon and I'm revamping my presentations for this

56
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>coming season. I think I'm going to do something on handprints.

57
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I did something at handprints a number of years ago,

58
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>but so many more have been uncovered since then, and

59
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 1>so much new information has come out. I want to

60
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.319
<v Speaker 1>revisit that topic for this coming season, and you know

61
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>of conferences. So anyway, I said, Tom, would you mind

62
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.520
<v Speaker 1>lending me that that footprint because I want to use

63
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.599
<v Speaker 1>it and see if there's any correlation hand size and

64
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>foot size and all this other stuff. He goes, oh, yeah,

65
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>no problem. So I see Tom, and he goes, hey,

66
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I got that cast for you, And I unwrapped the

67
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>bubble wrap and there's a half cast there. I go, Tom,

68
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.039
<v Speaker 1>this isn't the one you show me. He goes, oh, no,

69
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't find that one that I showed you. But

70
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>this was also in the trackway. Huh, said Tom? There

71
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:31.120
<v Speaker 1>were two? There were two? What else are you hiding

72
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>from me? You know, not that he's hiding anything, of course,

73
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>but you know what I mean, it's like, oh my god.

74
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>So that a really interesting half cast. And then there's

75
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>still that other footprint that he's not quite sure where

76
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.759
<v Speaker 1>it is because he's got tubs of these things, right,

77
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>He's been collecting these prints since the eighties. So you know,

78
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 1>I can't hold it against them. I'm rather disorganized as well,

79
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>you know.

80
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:50.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

81
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, so the Crypto Con was great in that sort

82
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.479
<v Speaker 1>of way, and I don't know that that's pretty much it, really,

83
00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 1>although I did come home to a very very sick dog. Fortunately, Yeah,

84
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 1>so she's not I mean, she's doing better now, but

85
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean she understandably has separation anxiety issues

86
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 1>and has a lot of baggage from you know, being

87
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>tied to a tree in the woods alone as a puppy,

88
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.159
<v Speaker 1>and then you know, we stumbled upon her and saved

89
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.639
<v Speaker 1>her life basically. You know, so she's got some baggage,

90
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>but then she's used to like Melissa being home when

91
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm gone, But this time Melissa came with me because

92
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>she later drove out to Pittsburgh after the event to

93
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>surprise her mother for her seventieth birthday party. So happy

94
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.759
<v Speaker 1>birthday to mom of course out there. Yeah. So, so

95
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>she kind of freaked out while we're gone, got in

96
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the trash ate some stuff and then stopped eating anything.

97
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 1>Then she wasn't pooping and all that other you know,

98
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Speaker 1>dog issues and stuff. She's slowly rebounding and the stress

99
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>is going away. I'm literally looking at her right now.

100
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 1>So but yeah, things are getting better for her. But

101
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.480
<v Speaker 1>they don't like having a sick dog. You know how

102
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>that is, Bubbs.

103
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 4>Oh god, yeah, it's because you're like, talk to me,

104
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:00.079
<v Speaker 4>Talk to me, you know what's going on?

105
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 1>Just tell me what's wrong. Yeah, but that's me, man.

106
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:05.079
<v Speaker 1>What's up with you?

107

111
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:20.360
<v Speaker 4>we're gonna do our annual squatching and gambling football watching it.

112
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:21.120
<v Speaker 3>We'll be out.

113
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 4>We're not gonna go too far out like, well, we'll

114
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 4>have to keep it close where we can come in

115
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.639
<v Speaker 4>and watch games and be in internet range.

116
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>So get his bets in. Well, very good. I wish

117
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.079
<v Speaker 1>you good luck on both counts, big footing and gambling.

118
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:37.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

119
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Nice. Nice. He's just gonna go to the local spots basically, Yeah.

120
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Then we're gonna go.

121
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.879
<v Speaker 4>Polly Pizza has gotta he's got. He lives out out

122
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 4>behind like like between Fieldbrook and Mckinneyville, come out in

123
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.680
<v Speaker 4>Mount's on those those coastal hills like just south of Trinidad,

124
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 4>and I get a lot of reports out of there,

125
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.600
<v Speaker 4>and I've and I should spend more time there because

126
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.079
<v Speaker 4>it's so close, but I kind of it's just, uh,

127
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:03.720
<v Speaker 4>there's there's house. I mean, there's you know, there's a

128
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:07.040
<v Speaker 4>couple of thousand people live in that valley, and so

129
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.120
<v Speaker 4>I try to stay away from like anywhere likely it

130
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 4>could be like overlap, like because there's so you can

131
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.199
<v Speaker 4>get so far out there around here, you know, like where.

132
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 1>There's no houses at all.

133
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.120
<v Speaker 4>I try to go to those places, but there's reports

134
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.079
<v Speaker 4>coming consistently through there. So we're gonna check that out

135
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 4>and see what we can find.

136
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's cool, you know. That reminded me of something

137
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.879
<v Speaker 1>that's super big. Aggrig aggravation. By the way, I was

138
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.199
<v Speaker 1>at the museum today. It's it's Wednesday tomorrow, Thanksgiving for

139
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.279
<v Speaker 1>the people listening, that's when we record these things. So

140
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.079
<v Speaker 1>I was at the museum today for a few hours

141
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. I only took a I only worked for

142
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:39.519
<v Speaker 1>a little over a half day because of my dog.

143
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:40.839
<v Speaker 1>Of course, I want to come and make sure she

144
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.959
<v Speaker 1>wasn't gonna crap all over the bottom floor of the

145
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>house like she did when I was gone. And then uh,

146
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>but so before I left, I like, well, oh, there's

147
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.079
<v Speaker 1>a message on the machine. I'm just gonna double check

148
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>this or erase it if it's old. And it was

149
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 1>a woman's voice. I'm not going to say the name

150
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 1>or anything says yeah, my name is so and so,

151
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.600
<v Speaker 1>and uh, I don't know if this is the number

152
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm supposed to call. But I saw something and I

153
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.519
<v Speaker 1>don't mean it might have been a bigfoot and I

154
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.879
<v Speaker 1>got it on the video on my phone. A couple

155
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>of us did, A couple of my friends, and is

156
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 1>this the number for that? My name is so and so,

157
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>and you can call me back my numbers five oh

158
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:20.439
<v Speaker 1>three click, and then it hung up. It hung up,

159
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.879
<v Speaker 1>and then of course, you know, I what and I

160
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:26.079
<v Speaker 1>fumbled back through the incoming calls. You know, on the

161
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.079
<v Speaker 1>store phone. This is the store's phone, and the number

162
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.600
<v Speaker 1>that came in at the time she called this was yesterday.

163
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.160
<v Speaker 1>By the way, the number she came at the time

164
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>she called was a number form like six oh one

165
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.680
<v Speaker 1>area code or something like that. So I called back,

166
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and then I called Nico the manager, and said, oh yeah,

167
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.759
<v Speaker 1>that came that yesterday. I called her back to and anyway,

168
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>that was yesterday. So somebody here in the Portland area,

169
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.879
<v Speaker 1>at least someone who has a Portland phone number. She

170
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:55.600
<v Speaker 1>and her friends apparently possibly saw a sasquatch. Release think

171
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:57.519
<v Speaker 1>they did, to the point where they called the Bigfoot

172
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.079
<v Speaker 1>Museum to tell them about it, and has video. So

173
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:04.040
<v Speaker 1>so that's making me pull my eyeballs out. Yeah, it

174
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:05.839
<v Speaker 1>might have been yesterday, might have been the day before.

175
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.319
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, as I rained that hard since I got home.

176
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.240
<v Speaker 1>There's probably prints in the ground because it's all soft

177
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.639
<v Speaker 1>and muddy and video. But man, such as the life

178
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.040
<v Speaker 1>of a big Footer. It's like, oh, Cliff, there's no

179
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.959
<v Speaker 1>Murphy's Laws, just a blah blah blah up here. There

180
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:23.279
<v Speaker 1>clearly is Murphy's Law guaranteed guaranteed. Yeah, anybody who says

181
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.480
<v Speaker 1>that hasn't been big footing very long. I think we

182
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>got some good stuff caught up today. Fantastic. Yeah, of

183
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>course are our guests today. And I may get the

184
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.960
<v Speaker 1>name wrong, Like, it's just so funny. I've known of

185
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:40.679
<v Speaker 1>these people and what seems like forever forever actually, and

186
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I've kind of known them emailed here and there and stuff,

187
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and then lo and behold once a year so they

188
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.960
<v Speaker 1>start wandering into the museum and I'm greeting them and

189
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.799
<v Speaker 1>they and I remember last year it was like, hey, Cliff,

190
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm so and so, oh my god, I know you are.

191
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.399
<v Speaker 1>And then this year the other half came in. I said, what,

192
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.360
<v Speaker 1>why haven't you been on our podcast yet? So yeah,

193
00:08:57.759 --> 00:08:59.519
<v Speaker 1>I believe the name of the thing and correct me

194
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>if I'm wrong. Of course. I think it's the Michigan

195
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Recording Project and the two folks that headed are so

196
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:06.679
<v Speaker 1>deeply involved they might as well head it are here

197
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>with This is Jim and Stacy Flowers for our old

198
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.919
<v Speaker 1>for like old folks like you and I Bobs. That's

199
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>a name out of the past, all right, So Jim

200
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 1>and Stacy Flowers, welcome to Bigfoot and Beyond with me

201
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:21.279
<v Speaker 1>and that guy. Thank you nic here, Yeah, thank you

202
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:23.440
<v Speaker 1>so much for setting aside a little time. We made

203
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:27.720
<v Speaker 1>this arrangement a couple of weeks ago. I mean, Stacy

204
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 1>was in the museum I think like last month or

205
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:31.519
<v Speaker 1>two months ago, I don't know, and Jim was in

206
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.759
<v Speaker 1>last year if I remember correctly, although I do have

207
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>a pretty lastic sense of time. But how fortuitous to

208
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.440
<v Speaker 1>run across y'all, and now to have you on the

209
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.639
<v Speaker 1>podcast and your perfect guests, because I think that you're

210
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.440
<v Speaker 1>best known for the vocalizations that have been recorded off

211
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:49.120
<v Speaker 1>one particular property, although again I'm wrong about a lot

212
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:50.639
<v Speaker 1>of stuff, so maybe I'm wrong about that too.

213
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:53.240
<v Speaker 5>That's right, we've been on that property for since two

214
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:53.960
<v Speaker 5>thousand and five.

215
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.559
<v Speaker 1>Since two thousand and five, that seems like forever ago.

216
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:59.840
<v Speaker 1>But how long before that were you big footing?

217
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.960
<v Speaker 5>Oh? Well, me only a couple of years. Jim, he

218
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:10.559
<v Speaker 5>was actually eight when he had his probable sighting and

219
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:15.799
<v Speaker 5>started chasing reports and newspaper articles and that kind of thing.

220
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Eight years old, So, Jim, I wasn't even where you

221
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>had a sighting. Why don't you tell us about that?

222
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:21.720
<v Speaker 1>To get us going here.

223
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:26.600
<v Speaker 6>Basically, my grandma lived on the edge of an apple

224
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.559
<v Speaker 6>orchard at Athens, Michigan. One day I was out playing

225
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:36.240
<v Speaker 6>in the yard, saw a huge thing walk through just

226
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:40.200
<v Speaker 6>the inside corner of the field and the orchard there.

227
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.279
<v Speaker 3>It just disappeared. Scared the hell out of me.

228
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:45.600
<v Speaker 6>I ran back inside and didn't go back out the

229
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:49.679
<v Speaker 6>rest of the day, probably about wasn't A week later,

230
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:54.440
<v Speaker 6>there was an article in the newspaper about another bigfoot

231
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.440
<v Speaker 6>sighting had a track find in the area, and I

232
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:00.559
<v Speaker 6>just kind of like, you know, my I was in

233
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.759
<v Speaker 6>mind put two and two together, and I just started

234
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.879
<v Speaker 6>reading everything I could and finding every newspaper article I could,

235
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.720
<v Speaker 6>and everything just kind of snowball from there.

236
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:11.759
<v Speaker 1>So how did you get back in? This is back

237
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:13.679
<v Speaker 1>in the day. I'm assuming that you know what you're like.

238
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:16.399
<v Speaker 1>I imagine you're about my age, and I turned fifty three

239
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:19.039
<v Speaker 1>next week, so I'm assuming that you're about my age, Coose.

240
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm just a little bit older than you.

241
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:20.960
<v Speaker 5>Then.

242
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:24.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, so this is back back, pre internet and whatnot.

243
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:27.159
<v Speaker 1>So your only real sources of information were books, which

244
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I still advocate as being the primary source of information

245
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.679
<v Speaker 1>for all of our listeners, even beyond podcasts and television

246
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:36.480
<v Speaker 1>and stuff, and also newspaper articles. What did you do?

247
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Did you collect them and put them in a scrap

248
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.639
<v Speaker 1>book or something, or did you just read them and

249
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:41.759
<v Speaker 1>take notes or did you just read? What did you

250
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:42.360
<v Speaker 1>do it? Back then?

251
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.279
<v Speaker 3>At the time they had a scrap book?

252
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:47.440
<v Speaker 6>I cut them out and stuck them with tape on

253
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:51.679
<v Speaker 6>an old photograph book that my grandma had and just

254
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:55.200
<v Speaker 6>kept going from there. Unfortunately, she also thought that with

255
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 6>the interest in Bigfoot, that I wanted everything from the

256
00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:02.679
<v Speaker 6>National inquirer. So I had a scrap book full of

257
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:09.200
<v Speaker 6>everything from whoever had the Bigfoot's baby to the latest

258
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.720
<v Speaker 6>flavor of the week from the local newspaper, some of

259
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:13.559
<v Speaker 6>the national ones when they picked up the story.

260
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Well that's sweet, though, that's, however misguided that might be.

261
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.159
<v Speaker 1>That's very very sweet of her, you got to admit, So,

262
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:20.679
<v Speaker 1>do you still have this Footo album.

263
00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:22.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I do.

264
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:28.440
<v Speaker 6>My mom may have it somewhere, But my grandma passed

265
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.519
<v Speaker 6>away several years ago when I was stationed in the

266
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.039
<v Speaker 6>maybe and a lot of her stuff that was there

267
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.080
<v Speaker 6>just kind of disappeared. The house she lived in and

268
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:40.519
<v Speaker 6>got sold. So even the apple orchard is now a

269
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:41.559
<v Speaker 6>small subdivision.

270
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Sure, sure they had they put up a parking lot,

271
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.799
<v Speaker 1>so to speak. Yeah, well, gosh, So so you started

272
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:50.480
<v Speaker 1>around eight Were you doing field investigations? Man like, did

273
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:52.200
<v Speaker 1>you ride your bike over like, you know, like a

274
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.200
<v Speaker 1>stranger thing sort of thing and I doing a field

275
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:58.000
<v Speaker 1>or it was just collecting information at that point at.

276
00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:59.279
<v Speaker 3>That point, collecting information.

277
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:03.320
<v Speaker 6>I think I actually as well as I could investigated

278
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.519
<v Speaker 6>the first report, I was probably about thirteen.

279
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember the details of it.

280
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:10.440
<v Speaker 6>It was a local kid who thought he saw something

281
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:11.919
<v Speaker 6>in the words too, so we just kind of like

282
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:14.360
<v Speaker 6>compared notes and went from there.

283
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't even remember his name. It was so long ago.

284
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>That's cool. That's really neat now, Stacy, Yeah, how did

285
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.600
<v Speaker 1>you get involved in this whole subject here?

286
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:26.639
<v Speaker 5>Well, my interest goes back to when I was eleven

287
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:29.120
<v Speaker 5>or twelve, way back to the mid seventies when it

288
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:31.279
<v Speaker 5>was all kind of first blew up. In the first place,

289
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.600
<v Speaker 5>there was a movie coming out in the theaters and

290
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:36.759
<v Speaker 5>I can't remember the name of it, may have been

291
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.200
<v Speaker 5>Sasquatched something or other, but there was a commercial would

292
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.639
<v Speaker 5>come on the television back in the day when you

293
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.279
<v Speaker 5>had to get up and change the antenna and the

294
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:49.200
<v Speaker 5>channel on your big console TV. And in the commercial

295
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:53.000
<v Speaker 5>it played this vocalization as long howl. And the first

296
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:57.200
<v Speaker 5>time I heard that, it freaked me out so bad.

297
00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:59.279
<v Speaker 5>And I don't know why. I almost had like a

298
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:02.919
<v Speaker 5>physical visceral reaction to it, you know. So here's this

299
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:04.720
<v Speaker 5>kid getting scared of this commercial, and every time it

300
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:06.480
<v Speaker 5>would come on and have to get up and change

301
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:10.799
<v Speaker 5>a channel real quick before that sound would happen. And

302
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:13.799
<v Speaker 5>from then on, as a kid and growing up, Bigfoot

303
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:15.960
<v Speaker 5>was like my boogeyman. That was the thing I was

304
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:17.799
<v Speaker 5>afraid of in the dark. It was a thing that

305
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:20.759
<v Speaker 5>freaked me out when the family would go camping, you know,

306
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:22.639
<v Speaker 5>and I always just felt like something was out there,

307
00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.639
<v Speaker 5>but I never really I kind of I didn't really

308
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:28.879
<v Speaker 5>lose interest, but there was nothing to keep my interest

309
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:32.279
<v Speaker 5>for a long long time, many years and when I

310
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:35.279
<v Speaker 5>first got online one day, I was thinking around just

311
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:37.720
<v Speaker 5>kind of learning how to use the internet and the

312
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:39.360
<v Speaker 5>computer and all of that, and I said, Hi, what

313
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:42.039
<v Speaker 5>if people are still talking about pickfoot? And I did

314
00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:45.639
<v Speaker 5>a search, and god, you know, when all was out there,

315
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:49.000
<v Speaker 5>tons of stuff. This is. This is in the day

316
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:52.679
<v Speaker 5>when there were only like discussion forums and individual websites

317
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.720
<v Speaker 5>and things. And I was shocked by how many people

318
00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:57.960
<v Speaker 5>were still talking about this and making claims. And the

319
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:02.159
<v Speaker 5>more I read the it sounded like there's maybe really

320
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:04.639
<v Speaker 5>something to this. And before I knew it, I was

321
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:08.960
<v Speaker 5>just hoping the subject. And so I spent a brief

322
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.679
<v Speaker 5>time in the BFRO back in two thousand and three,

323
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:14.840
<v Speaker 5>I believe, and then the group that we camp with

324
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:20.080
<v Speaker 5>got together in two thousand and four, the large group

325
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:23.879
<v Speaker 5>that got together that had met quote unquote met on

326
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:27.559
<v Speaker 5>the Bigfoot forums way back in its early days, and

327
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:31.000
<v Speaker 5>we had a weekend camping trip, and you know, people

328
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.639
<v Speaker 5>have similar mindsets kind of split off into different groups

329
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:36.679
<v Speaker 5>and things, and that led to us getting together and

330
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:41.039
<v Speaker 5>doing our thing, and then we started on this property

331
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:42.159
<v Speaker 5>in two thousand and five.

332
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bogo.

333
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:55.120
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back after these messages. So three to

334
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:57.519
<v Speaker 1>six months does it seem like a long time right

335
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:00.600
<v Speaker 1>in bigfoot Land? It's not very long because we've been

336
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.679
<v Speaker 1>looking for sasquatches for decades and decades and decades. But

337
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:05.440
<v Speaker 1>when you think about what can happen in three to

338
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.799
<v Speaker 1>six months, like, what would you do in three to

339
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:09.960
<v Speaker 1>six months? I'm going to give me six months go

340
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:13.080
<v Speaker 1>squatching squad of course, of course, And how much do

341
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:15.159
<v Speaker 1>you think is going to get done during that time?

342
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:17.240
<v Speaker 1>In squatching you're going to see one in six months?

343
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:20.159
<v Speaker 1>Probably not, But in three to six months, what you

344
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 1>can see if you're not going to see a sasquatch

345
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:27.799
<v Speaker 1>is thicker, fuller hair regrown from Hymns our sponsor, Hymns.

346
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:29.799
<v Speaker 1>Not bad for just three to six months.

347
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:32.840
<v Speaker 7>What if you start using HYMNS now in six months,

348
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:35.879

383
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:09.599
<v Speaker 1>How did you find the property?

384
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:15.640
<v Speaker 5>Well, there was a BFO investigator named Casey Carnes who

385
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.119
<v Speaker 5>Paul Willison and I were you had you talked to him? Okay?

386
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:21.920
<v Speaker 5>So just Paul and I had talked to him each

387
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.359
<v Speaker 5>separately online a couple of times, and he was supposed

388
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.680
<v Speaker 5>to join us in our original spot one evening, and

389
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:31.359
<v Speaker 5>he was going to bring out a guy. He that

390
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:33.240
<v Speaker 5>got a guy I'm going to bring out. He's got

391
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.400
<v Speaker 5>some stories, He's got some things happening on his property.

392
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:37.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to bring him out with me and you

393
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:39.440
<v Speaker 5>guys can meet him and talk to him and stuff.

394
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:43.880
<v Speaker 5>So Casey Launda not coming because his mother was sick,

395
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:48.519
<v Speaker 5>but this guy with her, I should say, convoluted instructions

396
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:51.799
<v Speaker 5>and way back on dirt two tracks managed to find

397
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.599
<v Speaker 5>us after dark and the landowner he came out by himself,

398
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:58.839
<v Speaker 5>spent the night and we talked and talked and talked,

399
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:01.039
<v Speaker 5>and he liked us. We liked Tim, so he invited

400
00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:03.839
<v Speaker 5>us out to the property and we went later that

401
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:05.920
<v Speaker 5>summer for the first time.

402
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:09.000
<v Speaker 1>So it was a BFR report basically, what now? What

403
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:10.960
<v Speaker 1>was in more? You know, have to tell me everything,

404
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:13.720
<v Speaker 1>of course, or we'dn't use your discretion because there are

405
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.680
<v Speaker 1>a couple of people listen to this. What was in

406
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.960
<v Speaker 1>that report? Was it just a siding, was a track

407
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:22.680
<v Speaker 1>fight or was it ongoing stuff? I mean, what how

408
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.240
<v Speaker 1>aware of the situation were you going into this?

409
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:27.680
<v Speaker 3>And I can answer that one because I've seen a

410
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:28.839
<v Speaker 3>newspaper article for it.

411
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:30.240
<v Speaker 5>Well, there was a newspaper article.

412
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:33.680
<v Speaker 6>There were actually two one days back to the seventies

413
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:41.680
<v Speaker 6>where basically his grandmother had a incident where it came

414
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:44.599
<v Speaker 6>through with ut giant footprints and was picking pea pods,

415
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:47.920
<v Speaker 6>and I guess the local paper came out and kind

416
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:50.720
<v Speaker 6>of investigated to the best of their ability, but didn't

417
00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:54.519
<v Speaker 6>find anything. The other one was in the uh there

418
00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:56.559
<v Speaker 6>was an incident where several boys I used to run

419
00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:59.160
<v Speaker 6>a hant how he used to run a hot house,

420
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:03.559
<v Speaker 6>and several boys basically saw a bigfoot. So the local

421
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.480
<v Speaker 6>you know, kids, one tells the other, the next one

422
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.839
<v Speaker 6>tells the next one. Next week, all the newspapers out

423
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.279
<v Speaker 6>there with reporters or a reporter from the local paper

424
00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:15.839
<v Speaker 6>doing interviews and checking out on the incident. And that

425
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.039
<v Speaker 6>showed up in the local paper. And I think that's

426
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:23.279
<v Speaker 6>basically what the BFR report was actually entailing when that

427
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:24.039
<v Speaker 6>came out too.

428
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:26.559
<v Speaker 5>But it turns out that Casey and this guy had

429
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:29.559
<v Speaker 5>known each other years before. Neither one was familiar with

430
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:34.519
<v Speaker 5>the other's interest in or background until this article came

431
00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:36.640
<v Speaker 5>out in the newspaper with a reporter had promised he

432
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:40.160
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't use his family's name, and he did anyway, Casey

433
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:43.440
<v Speaker 5>happened to see the paper and called that guy and said, hey,

434
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:47.920
<v Speaker 5>guess what, So that you know the property being worked

435
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:49.920
<v Speaker 5>in investigated kind of came out.

436
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Of that two basically what they call Class C reports.

437
00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:56.200
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't even a direct observation or anything. It was

438
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:58.519
<v Speaker 1>just like, hey, this is happening in this general area

439
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:02.359
<v Speaker 1>the property owner. Was he aware of this previous activity?

440
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:06.400
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, he's lived on or near the property. It's

441
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:11.240
<v Speaker 5>family property. But his awareness of these things goes back

442
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:12.400
<v Speaker 5>to the seventies.

443
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Also, And was that because of sightings or footprints or

444
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.960
<v Speaker 1>weird things or all of it, all of it. Okay, okay,

445
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:21.599
<v Speaker 1>how big of an area are we talking about, do

446
00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:23.359
<v Speaker 1>you think? I mean, not just the property, I mean

447
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the property could be two acres and still have a

448
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.720
<v Speaker 1>ton of stuff going on. But how big it is

449
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:30.279
<v Speaker 1>this green belt or like pocket of woods that these

450
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:31.200
<v Speaker 1>things are frequenting.

451
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:34.839
<v Speaker 6>Well, well, some of us been sold off because we

452
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:39.960
<v Speaker 6>actually bought some of it. Six hundred acres at one point,

453
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:43.519
<v Speaker 6>maybe just a little bit more. But it's also basically

454
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:47.720
<v Speaker 6>right on the edge of the Manistee National Forest, within

455
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:49.680
<v Speaker 6>my easy walking distance.

456
00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:52.599
<v Speaker 1>Now, what sort of things do you think, before we

457
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:57.000
<v Speaker 1>get into the vocalizations and your individual experiences, what sort

458
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:01.319
<v Speaker 1>of things does this particular property and the locality of

459
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:05.119
<v Speaker 1>where people are and where you're finding these things go on.

460
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:07.759
<v Speaker 1>What sort of things are here that you think might

461
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:10.359
<v Speaker 1>be drawing the Sasquatches in repeatedly.

462
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:13.799
<v Speaker 5>Well, it's right on a river, a very windy river

463
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:17.599
<v Speaker 5>that feeds into the most major river system I think

464
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:18.079
<v Speaker 5>in the state.

465
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:19.400
<v Speaker 3>Pretty much.

466
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:23.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we're we're very close to the Muskegon River. That

467
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:25.480
<v Speaker 5>would probably be the big thing. There is a lot

468
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:30.200
<v Speaker 5>of farmland, but to the north and to the east

469
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.559
<v Speaker 5>of where we are specifically, there's just miles and miles

470
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:34.480
<v Speaker 5>and miles and miles.

471
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Of woods, Okay, and that farmland. What do they grow

472
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:39.319
<v Speaker 1>on it? Do you know? The most common crop? Is

473
00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:40.720
<v Speaker 1>it corn? Or is it alfalfa?

474
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:45.640
<v Speaker 6>Or is it corn alfalfa? Oh varies because sty beams.

475
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:48.640
<v Speaker 6>It varies because of the when they do it, they

476
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:50.839
<v Speaker 6>rotate the cross for the nitrogen content.

477
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:53.559
<v Speaker 3>So it's not the same crop every year.

478
00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:56.799
<v Speaker 6>Apparently I'm not a farmer, but I grew up in

479
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.759
<v Speaker 6>farm country and apparently that also nitrogen content and the

480
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:02.000
<v Speaker 6>soil or something.

481
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking because you said corn and then alfalfa

482
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:08.559
<v Speaker 1>of course, and so all of those things are deer magnets,

483
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:10.119
<v Speaker 1>which is what I was kind of thinking about, Like

484
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:12.960
<v Speaker 1>what's drawing in the prey species here? And maybe those

485
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:14.119
<v Speaker 1>farms have something to do with it.

486
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:17.359
<v Speaker 5>There's a lot of fruit trees natural like wild apple trees,

487
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:20.680
<v Speaker 5>a lot of berry bushes.

488
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:31.319
<v Speaker 6>Blackberries, raspberries, red raspberries, blueberries, mushrooms. Pretty much that in

489
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:35.079
<v Speaker 6>the river is a designated trout stream, So there's a

490
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:38.880
<v Speaker 6>huge bunch of food there, plus crayfish if you're if

491
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:42.160
<v Speaker 6>they're really wanted something that small or hard to eat.

492
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:45.880
<v Speaker 1>So when you first started investigating the property and its vicinity,

493
00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:48.599
<v Speaker 1>what were some of the clues that you might have gotten,

494
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.240
<v Speaker 1>either things you heard or found or saw that kind

495
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:53.079
<v Speaker 1>of indicated you were on the right track and you

496
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:53.960
<v Speaker 1>found a good area.

497
00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:58.039
<v Speaker 5>Honestly, the first time that I, well, Paul and I

498
00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:00.319
<v Speaker 5>went first, and it was just a day trip and

499
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.440
<v Speaker 5>driving in, you know, you're looking at that north south

500
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:07.319
<v Speaker 5>road and there's there's houses and there's cabins and farmmen,

501
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:12.240
<v Speaker 5>and I'm thinking, okay, there is no way, but at

502
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:13.799
<v Speaker 5>least it's a nice day for a drive and a

503
00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:17.400
<v Speaker 5>walk in the woods. So I wasn't expecting anything, and

504
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:20.359
<v Speaker 5>we really once we got back to the woods and

505
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:24.079
<v Speaker 5>I saw, you know, the actual layout of the land

506
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:26.799
<v Speaker 5>later land, it was like, Okay, we've got we've got

507
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:29.319
<v Speaker 5>nice water here, we've got tons of woods. I guess

508
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.599
<v Speaker 5>it's possible. And it was I think our first big

509
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:35.880
<v Speaker 5>overnight trip there that we got our one and only

510
00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:40.319
<v Speaker 5>vocalization of that year, which wasn't convincing. You know, I

511
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:42.640
<v Speaker 5>think we were still leaning towards Okay, that's somebody messing

512
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:44.640
<v Speaker 5>around with us, and we kind of were for the

513
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:48.319
<v Speaker 5>first couple of years, not necessar necessarily thinking we were

514
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.000
<v Speaker 5>being hoaxed, but always keeping that thought in the forefront,

515
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:52.799
<v Speaker 5>just in case.

516
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:57.240
<v Speaker 1>How for a part of the homesteads spread in this area,

517
00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:59.119
<v Speaker 1>is that everybody had like five acres or something or

518
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:01.279
<v Speaker 1>is it just ridiculous large because you mentioned six hundred

519
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:03.400
<v Speaker 1>acres a little while ago, Is that the standard?

520
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:06.680
<v Speaker 5>No, I don't think so. It just depends. There are

521
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:09.119
<v Speaker 5>some people who you know, have a house just sound

522
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:12.839
<v Speaker 5>like four or five acres. There's some farms that are

523
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:16.440
<v Speaker 5>hundreds of acres. There's dairy farms too, you know, cattle,

524
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:19.920
<v Speaker 5>and some of those are big.

525
00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

526
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:24.359
<v Speaker 6>There's also a lot of seasonal cabins that aren't occupied

527
00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:28.599
<v Speaker 6>year round. So for you know, five months out a year,

528
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:29.759
<v Speaker 6>nobody is there.

529
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:32.759
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so you start going onto this property a little bit.

530
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:35.519
<v Speaker 1>You hear a vocalization, but nothing you can take to

531
00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:38.640
<v Speaker 1>the bank. It sounds like, but you've devoted so much

532
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:41.839
<v Speaker 1>of your time to this one location and it can't

533
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:44.880
<v Speaker 1>just be convenience. What really turned your head around is say, wow,

534
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:47.400
<v Speaker 1>we need to focus all of our efforts here. What

535
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:48.440
<v Speaker 1>was that.

536
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:52.319
<v Speaker 5>The first few years, the first couple of years we

537
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:54.920
<v Speaker 5>were there. You know, we didn't hear anything for the

538
00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:56.480
<v Speaker 5>rest of that year. That was two thousand and five.

539
00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:59.920
<v Speaker 5>In two thousand and six, we started hearing them much more.

540
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:05.559
<v Speaker 5>Six and seven, it was we could almost time it

541
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.480
<v Speaker 5>to within five minutes or so of about eleven thirty

542
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:11.640
<v Speaker 5>at night, we'd start hearing these screams from across the river.

543
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:14.599
<v Speaker 5>If they came a little bit earlier, they were coming

544
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:16.799
<v Speaker 5>from the south. If they came later, they were coming

545
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:19.240
<v Speaker 5>from the north. So good antos, you know, pattering this

546
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:22.559
<v Speaker 5>travel you know this north south travel route. They were

547
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:27.200
<v Speaker 5>taking the turning point for us where we were like, okay,

548
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:30.559
<v Speaker 5>this is the real deal. Was that our landowner had

549
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:34.839
<v Speaker 5>gotten a video clip and we went up one day

550
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:39.200
<v Speaker 5>just expecting to see a vague image of you know,

551
00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:41.759
<v Speaker 5>a dark thing moving through the woods. We expect blurry

552
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:46.440
<v Speaker 5>and you know, completely inconclusive, and it blew our socks off.

553
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:50.880
<v Speaker 5>The video did the video did? He'd been our guy,

554
00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:53.880
<v Speaker 5>and we've seen his boxes of videotapes. He his whole

555
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:55.839
<v Speaker 5>life has had video cameras and has gone out and

556
00:26:55.880 --> 00:27:03.000
<v Speaker 5>just videotape wildlife, miscellaneous, frogs, deer, you know, everything, And

557
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.160
<v Speaker 5>he'd been out there sitting to the east of Directly

558
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.640
<v Speaker 5>to the east of where our camp site is is

559
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:15.200
<v Speaker 5>a field, and he was sitting at what we call

560
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:17.799
<v Speaker 5>the north Woods. He was sitting on the north wood

561
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:21.119
<v Speaker 5>line and a couple of cement blocks he had sitting

562
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:22.599
<v Speaker 5>out there, and he heard a couple of what he

563
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:24.680
<v Speaker 5>thought some pig storms. He thought it was a bear,

564
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:29.960
<v Speaker 5>and he turned the camera over that way, and in

565
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:33.559
<v Speaker 5>this video you could see a couple of pine trees

566
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:37.000
<v Speaker 5>and he's kind of panning back and forth, and you

567
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:41.799
<v Speaker 5>see what we thought were trunks. You see a couple

568
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:46.000
<v Speaker 5>of those trunks start moving and as you watch, this

569
00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:51.160
<v Speaker 5>figure comes out from behind those trees and was walking north,

570
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:55.240
<v Speaker 5>drops down into like a little gully there. You can

571
00:27:55.440 --> 00:28:00.240
<v Speaker 5>you're only seeing it maybe from what knees up. Maybe yeah,

572
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:01.519
<v Speaker 5>you could see the butt, but I don't think we could.

573
00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:02.880
<v Speaker 5>I don't think we would really see the knees at

574
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.880
<v Speaker 5>that point anyway. And it was just like you know

575
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:08.960
<v Speaker 5>in the era, yeah, the Patterson film, where you can

576
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:12.480
<v Speaker 5>see like the muscle contraction, like in the Deltards, it's

577
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:14.359
<v Speaker 5>a shoulder swinging back, you know, you can see the

578
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:18.839
<v Speaker 5>muscle movement in the back. You could see that clearly, clearly,

579
00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:22.880
<v Speaker 5>and it keeps going. It drops it down into this

580
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:25.519
<v Speaker 5>gully where you can't see it at all. So he

581
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:31.559
<v Speaker 5>takes off running further into the north woods, thinking if

582
00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:33.400
<v Speaker 5>it's going to follow that gully. It sort of loops

583
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.319
<v Speaker 5>around to the right and comes out, excuse me, near

584
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:38.400
<v Speaker 5>a hunting blinds. It's been up there for years. That

585
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:40.079
<v Speaker 5>was up there for years. I don't think it's up

586
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:46.079
<v Speaker 5>there now. And yeah, and you see from a really

587
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:50.119
<v Speaker 5>long distance, not really long distance, but you just kind

588
00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:53.079
<v Speaker 5>of very vaguely see some movement between the trees. And

589
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:55.519
<v Speaker 5>then it comes up back out of the gully near

590
00:28:55.559 --> 00:29:00.359
<v Speaker 5>that hunting blind and takes off and continues moving right

591
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:02.680
<v Speaker 5>along the edge of that gully off to like the

592
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:09.960
<v Speaker 5>east northeast. And yeah, it was really like, even just

593
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.920
<v Speaker 5>thinking about it now, we were just we were just speechless,

594
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:16.279
<v Speaker 5>just speechless. I didn't realize we were watching. Jim had

595
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:17.960
<v Speaker 5>taken a knee on the floor. We'd gone, and he'd

596
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:20.440
<v Speaker 5>gone in the house. He had a big screen like

597
00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:23.559
<v Speaker 5>projector TV in there. Had taken a knee on the floor,

598
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:25.000
<v Speaker 5>and I had a hand on his shoulder and I

599
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:31.039
<v Speaker 5>didn't realize I was squeezing his shoulder so hard just

600
00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:35.720
<v Speaker 5>watching this. I yeah, it was. The video has since

601
00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:39.039
<v Speaker 5>degraded to the point where you just can't see anything

602
00:29:39.079 --> 00:29:40.880
<v Speaker 5>on it, which is sad.

603
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was. I always advocate for the digitization of

604
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:47.440
<v Speaker 1>all magnetic tapes and v vhs is and all that stuff.

605
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:50.680
<v Speaker 1>And because that's exactly what happens, you play it and

606
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:54.319
<v Speaker 1>it just over time that wears a way.

607
00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:57.920
<v Speaker 6>Showed him exactly how to do it, gave him the

608
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:00.559
<v Speaker 6>equipment to do it. But he is not what I

609
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:03.119
<v Speaker 6>would call the most technologically adept.

610
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:04.359
<v Speaker 3>He's even worse than I am.

611
00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:09.000
<v Speaker 6>So the difference, I guess I don't tend to procrastinate

612
00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:09.839
<v Speaker 6>as much as he does.

613
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:12.640
<v Speaker 1>But well, I often wonder how many good pieces of

614
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.279
<v Speaker 1>footage are out there that are going to start cascading

615
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:16.559
<v Speaker 1>upon us after discovery.

616
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:18.839
<v Speaker 5>There's got to be more. There have to be more.

617
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh, certainly, I would, I would think. So I've heard

618
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:23.720
<v Speaker 1>about some, I've just never seen it. So so you

619
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:26.079
<v Speaker 1>saw this, and you holy smoke star here. I've heard

620
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:28.920
<v Speaker 1>them a couple of times here. I don't know if

621
00:30:28.920 --> 00:30:30.720
<v Speaker 1>you ever found any footprints or anything, but there there

622
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:33.680
<v Speaker 1>was enough indication at this location to start devoting some

623
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.559
<v Speaker 1>resources and time. Oh yeah, yeah, very good. And what

624
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.720
<v Speaker 1>was what what was the perhaps the procedure, what what

625
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.759
<v Speaker 1>became standard operating procedure for trying to work this property?

626
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:47.480
<v Speaker 1>What would you really focus on and how would it

627
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:47.880
<v Speaker 1>get done?

628
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:52.240
<v Speaker 5>Atually it has changed and now we're just in it

629
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:55.359
<v Speaker 5>to experience what we can experience. But initially when we're

630
00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:58.000
<v Speaker 5>trying to get data, trying to get video, trying to

631
00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:02.240
<v Speaker 5>you know, we've run the recorders from day one basically,

632
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:04.839
<v Speaker 5>but you know, some one of the guys or some

633
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:06.680
<v Speaker 5>of the guys would go out in the early evening

634
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:09.599
<v Speaker 5>and sit up in a tree, stand quietly and wait

635
00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:10.480
<v Speaker 5>for things to happen.

636
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:13.720
<v Speaker 6>Going across the field where you guys are making noise

637
00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:15.440
<v Speaker 6>and camp and sitting there by myself.

638
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:17.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, there's that there.

639
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.000
<v Speaker 6>What else walking during the day, trying to find footprints

640
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:25.160
<v Speaker 6>and any piece of viable soil there is?

641
00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:26.960
<v Speaker 3>We found some, but.

642
00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:29.759
<v Speaker 5>It's we've had a lot.

643
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:32.119
<v Speaker 6>Touch uncastable because of the sand and.

644
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:34.640
<v Speaker 5>Everything else, or they've been in water.

645
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:37.720
<v Speaker 6>Or they've been in water. Found the one in the

646
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:40.599
<v Speaker 6>river bank. Tried to cast that that did not go well.

647
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:43.359
<v Speaker 3>Good God. Check for hair samples.

648
00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:45.599
<v Speaker 6>There's a lot of barbed wire all over the place,

649
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:49.079
<v Speaker 6>so it's a constant to just walking down the fence

650
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:51.279
<v Speaker 6>line looking for where anything may have come through.

651
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:54.079
<v Speaker 3>I think we found deer, raccoons, squirrel.

652
00:31:53.720 --> 00:32:01.319
<v Speaker 6>Bear, nothing that anybody thought to actually was worth collecting.

653
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:07.480
<v Speaker 5>Pet Gil, who used to be part of our group,

654
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:10.720
<v Speaker 5>did send one sample someplace one time and it turned

655
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:13.400
<v Speaker 5>out to be I think deer, wasn't it cow? Cattle?

656
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:18.559
<v Speaker 5>I think it was cow too. Yeah, So we didn't

657
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:23.359
<v Speaker 5>really have a routine necessarily at the time, pluse.

658
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:27.680
<v Speaker 6>Back then, I was pretty much working seven days a week.

659
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:29.119
<v Speaker 3>I do have a lot of it.

660
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bobo.

661
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Will be right back after these messages. Did either of

662
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:44.559
<v Speaker 1>you ever put eyes on one of these things while

663
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:45.279
<v Speaker 1>on the property?

664
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:50.680
<v Speaker 5>Yes, yes, yeah, Jim and I had gone up. There

665
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:53.119
<v Speaker 5>was another another brief video that one of his kids

666
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:59.559
<v Speaker 5>had taped his bottom his rabbit touch over but of

667
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:05.680
<v Speaker 5>one walking along the woodline east to west into the

668
00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:10.880
<v Speaker 5>late afternoon sun. And I thought at first that's a

669
00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:13.880
<v Speaker 5>mask because it looked so distorted and ridiculous and white

670
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:18.960
<v Speaker 5>and shiny, and then you see a blink. But after

671
00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:21.920
<v Speaker 5>and we figured that distorted look was because of the

672
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:25.599
<v Speaker 5>sun reflecting off that oily skin. But after that, we

673
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:28.599
<v Speaker 5>spent some time going up and just sitting there's a

674
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:30.480
<v Speaker 5>large oak tree at the top of a hill the

675
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:35.599
<v Speaker 5>edge of the field, and just scanning, scanning that north

676
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:39.200
<v Speaker 5>woodline for hours. And there was one night that had

677
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:44.200
<v Speaker 5>vocals from across the river and from two different locations

678
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:46.880
<v Speaker 5>across the river, and we were hearing a bunch a

679
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:51.559
<v Speaker 5>bunch of sounds in the river, loud splashing, like little

680
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:55.000
<v Speaker 5>plunging noises, and then we got a couple of grunts

681
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:57.759
<v Speaker 5>and one came from the north, the other one came

682
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:02.119
<v Speaker 5>from the west down what we call lot And as

683
00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:05.000
<v Speaker 5>Jim is looking. By this point, we've moved off the

684
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:07.799
<v Speaker 5>hill and towards the fire, which was down to just

685
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:11.480
<v Speaker 5>embers at that point, and Jim's looking down the slot

686
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:14.760
<v Speaker 5>with the night vision. He says, take a look at

687
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:16.239
<v Speaker 5>this and tell me if you see what I see.

688
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:19.960
<v Speaker 5>And I didn't do it because I was freaked out.

689
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:22.119
<v Speaker 5>This was a new thing. I would do it now,

690
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:24.840
<v Speaker 5>and I kicked myself from not looking now, but at

691
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:26.280
<v Speaker 5>that time this was a new thing and I was

692
00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:30.199
<v Speaker 5>kind of scared. I didn't look but he well you

693
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:32.440
<v Speaker 5>can just write what you saw.

694
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:33.719
<v Speaker 3>Basically, it was.

695
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:40.639
<v Speaker 6>I guess like a imagine Shaquille O'Neil walking down a

696
00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:44.679
<v Speaker 6>trail towards you, but he's actually bigger than he actually

697
00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:48.480
<v Speaker 6>has with wider shoulders, and then as you see him,

698
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:54.320
<v Speaker 6>he just turns and basically walks quietly down a forty

699
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:56.639
<v Speaker 6>foot embankment and you're just sitting there, going.

700
00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:59.039
<v Speaker 3>Somebody else, please look at this and make sure.

701
00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:00.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm not crazy steep embankment.

702
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:05.719
<v Speaker 6>And at that point it was just like a recovered

703
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:07.840
<v Speaker 6>ran up to a look to see if I could

704
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:11.880
<v Speaker 6>still see it, and it was just gone. Whether there's

705
00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:16.079
<v Speaker 6>a trail that runs kind of like north northeast to

706
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:19.880
<v Speaker 6>west southwesternly right along the river bank, so I'm assuming

707
00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:22.239
<v Speaker 6>it went one direction or the other along the trail.

708
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:26.079
<v Speaker 5>Do you find prints, Well, yeah, yeah, we found lots

709
00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:30.679
<v Speaker 5>and lots of tracks trackways. Again, they're in sand. Basically,

710
00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:35.320
<v Speaker 5>you get a little detail here and there. The big

711
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:37.840
<v Speaker 5>giveaway that is the step length and the stride lengths.

712
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:41.880
<v Speaker 5>You know, you're getting fifty to fifty two inch steps.

713
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:45.920
<v Speaker 6>The thing is to a lot of that, you're not

714
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:48.440
<v Speaker 6>getting tracks on at the ground, so hard most of

715
00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:52.079
<v Speaker 6>the time that even like a you know, four thousand

716
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:54.559
<v Speaker 6>pounds tractor doesn't even leave tread marks.

717
00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:57.199
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's either it's either compacted down so hard like that,

718
00:35:57.360 --> 00:36:00.480
<v Speaker 5>or it's just sand and it fills back in. But uh,

719
00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:05.960
<v Speaker 5>back to the visuals. The first well, my son and

720
00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:09.039
<v Speaker 5>I had a night where we saw something at the

721
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:16.760
<v Speaker 5>edge of the field and he said to me, walk

722
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:18.559
<v Speaker 5>over this way with me to the cars. I got

723
00:36:18.599 --> 00:36:20.760
<v Speaker 5>a pee, so I said, okay, I want to walk

724
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:24.039
<v Speaker 5>with you. And so he's around the corner. We trade places.

725
00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:26.400
<v Speaker 5>I get around the corner and he said, Mom, look

726
00:36:26.480 --> 00:36:30.800
<v Speaker 5>up there, so I think it is And it looked

727
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:34.320
<v Speaker 5>like a person standing there was, you know, sideways to

728
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:35.920
<v Speaker 5>us with a hoodie up and we used to have

729
00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:37.039
<v Speaker 5>to go up to the top of the hill to

730
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:40.119
<v Speaker 5>get cell phone signal. And I said, no, that's just

731
00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:42.559
<v Speaker 5>our landowner with the hoodie up. He's like, Mom, I

732
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:46.360
<v Speaker 5>don't think so that's way too big. I'm at this point,

733
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:48.760
<v Speaker 5>he's like nineteen years old in the size of a sasquatch.

734
00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:51.880
<v Speaker 5>But my you know, mama bear thing is kicking in

735
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:55.920
<v Speaker 5>and I'm like, nope, keep calm, that's just our landowner

736
00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:00.519
<v Speaker 5>making a phone call, there's no light or anything. So

737
00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:03.440
<v Speaker 5>we go back to the fire, grab the night vision

738
00:37:03.400 --> 00:37:07.519
<v Speaker 5>and walk back over there and our landowner, everybody's accounted for,

739
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:10.320
<v Speaker 5>and he comes walking from the opposite direction from the

740
00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:14.719
<v Speaker 5>north Woods with Paul. Yeah, and whatever had been standing

741
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:18.719
<v Speaker 5>there was gone. But it was only Silawett that we saw.

742
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:23.280
<v Speaker 5>There was no detail whatsoever. The following year though, Fourth

743
00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:28.320
<v Speaker 5>of July, that's one of our guys had literally in

744
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:34.400
<v Speaker 5>the headlights full on, no question about it, sighting. And

745
00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:37.840
<v Speaker 5>it was fourth of July weekend, which is historically been

746
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:41.440
<v Speaker 5>a very very active weekend for us, and there were

747
00:37:41.639 --> 00:37:46.039
<v Speaker 5>just vocal after vocal after focal after vocal, and we

748
00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:49.679
<v Speaker 5>could hear the sound travels so well out there. We

749
00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:52.480
<v Speaker 5>could hear a mile away at one of the cabins,

750
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:55.480
<v Speaker 5>somebody was having a party, and so Mike took his

751
00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:59.000
<v Speaker 5>car out just to see where the party was so

752
00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:02.679
<v Speaker 5>we would know. And on the way back in he

753
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:06.639
<v Speaker 5>turned a corner, came up over this little rise and

754
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:11.599
<v Speaker 5>crossing the east west road there, going from north to south,

755
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:14.599
<v Speaker 5>there was one right in the road, and when his

756
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:17.400
<v Speaker 5>headlights hit it, he had just enough time to register

757
00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:19.519
<v Speaker 5>what it was and watch it finish crossing the road,

758
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:25.039
<v Speaker 5>and that was our first no question about it.

759
00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Citing now you mentioned the sound quality of the area,

760
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:30.719
<v Speaker 1>like the I'm not even sure what to call it,

761
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:34.920
<v Speaker 1>but how how well sound travels in this particular area.

762
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:37.639
<v Speaker 1>But the vocalizations I've heard from you seem to be

763
00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:39.800
<v Speaker 1>very very close, and not all of them, of course,

764
00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:42.519
<v Speaker 1>not all of them, but some of them seem to

765
00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:45.519
<v Speaker 1>be fairly close. Would you say the vast majority of

766
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:47.840
<v Speaker 1>vocalizations before we start listening to these are from a

767
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:50.639
<v Speaker 1>good distance or where you focus on the really close stuff,

768
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:53.119
<v Speaker 1>because you had a strategy that managed to make it

769
00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:54.159
<v Speaker 1>work out.

770
00:38:54.360 --> 00:39:00.000
<v Speaker 5>They most of the vocalizations come from right across the room.

771
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:02.519
<v Speaker 5>We're the campus at the top of a high river bank,

772
00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:06.480
<v Speaker 5>and then most of the vocalizations come from across the river.

773
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:08.320
<v Speaker 5>We've gotten them from the north Woods and a lot

774
00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:11.480
<v Speaker 5>of them from the south Woods too, but most of

775
00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:16.440
<v Speaker 5>what we record is within I don't know quarter of.

776
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:18.639
<v Speaker 3>My own about that sounds why we're.

777
00:39:18.679 --> 00:39:21.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean, I mean they come in close.

778
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:25.599
<v Speaker 1>Do you think they're reacting to your presence which is

779
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:28.320
<v Speaker 1>why they're vocalizing, or like, do they see you? You

780
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:30.880
<v Speaker 1>think across the river hear you perhaps, or do you

781
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:32.760
<v Speaker 1>think they're doing this activity anyway?

782
00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:35.440
<v Speaker 3>I think we're in the way from where they want

783
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:35.679
<v Speaker 3>to go.

784
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:37.719
<v Speaker 1>It's a little perturbed with you guys.

785
00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:41.800
<v Speaker 6>And that's always been my impression, at least because that

786
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:45.519
<v Speaker 6>trail there was before we started camping there. Basically that

787
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:48.119
<v Speaker 6>would be a trail the easy, you know, most direct

788
00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:51.079
<v Speaker 6>route from coming across the river at wand of Shallows

789
00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:55.519
<v Speaker 6>Points to get to the north Woods. And now we're

790
00:39:55.719 --> 00:39:59.239
<v Speaker 6>there on occasion, so we're in the way.

791
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:02.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I see, that's interesting. That's very interesting. Of course

792
00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:04.920
<v Speaker 1>it's an assumption, and I realized that, but I mean,

793
00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:06.119
<v Speaker 1>what else do we have at this point?

794
00:40:06.639 --> 00:40:08.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you don't.

795
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:11.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, said though, we haven't gotten really distant vocals in

796
00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:13.320
<v Speaker 5>a long time, but we used to those early years.

797
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:15.840
<v Speaker 5>You know, we would hear them for what sounded like

798
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:19.199
<v Speaker 5>a mile away, you know, here and there so and

799
00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:21.599
<v Speaker 5>in that case it wasn't because of us.

800
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:24.840
<v Speaker 6>No, I don't know if they're locator calls or what

801
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:26.599
<v Speaker 6>they are, but I saw them.

802
00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:27.159
<v Speaker 3>Figured it out.

803
00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:30.159
<v Speaker 6>It's been twenty years almost of the same location. I'm

804
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:31.440
<v Speaker 6>still trying to figure it out.

805
00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:34.920
<v Speaker 1>So well, let's take a listen to a couple of

806
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:38.800
<v Speaker 1>these things I'm looking at. We have kind of limited time,

807
00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:42.599
<v Speaker 1>and you have so many recordings. Our producer Matt Prutt,

808
00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:44.280
<v Speaker 1>who's of course on the line with us, he's taken

809
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:46.960
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to go and kind of weed them down

810
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:51.079
<v Speaker 1>to four four representative clips that great to share. And

811
00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:52.519
<v Speaker 1>of course we're even running out of time here, so

812
00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:55.199
<v Speaker 1>whatever we don't get to now, we'll bump that over

813
00:40:55.239 --> 00:40:57.000
<v Speaker 1>to our members section and our members can hear the

814
00:40:57.000 --> 00:40:59.440
<v Speaker 1>rest of the vocalizations. Okay, so why don't we start

815
00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:02.679
<v Speaker 1>out with this lie two thousand and seven combo vocals.

816
00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:05.039
<v Speaker 1>What you want to tell us what was going on

817
00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:06.840
<v Speaker 1>when this happened here before we listen to it? Or

818
00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:08.039
<v Speaker 1>should we just jump right into it?

819
00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:09.800
<v Speaker 5>I go ahead and jump right into it.

820
00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So we have a two different vocalizers or you

821
00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:37.880
<v Speaker 1>think it's the same vocalizer.

822
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.760
<v Speaker 5>There, two different, two different And when I labeled at

823
00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:42.960
<v Speaker 5>combo vocals, it was because it was the first time

824
00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:46.599
<v Speaker 5>that we'd heard two different types at the same time.

825
00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would say that the first one might be

826
00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:51.880
<v Speaker 1>described as a whoop of some sort and the second one,

827
00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:54.159
<v Speaker 1>what would you describe that as almost like a crow

828
00:41:54.199 --> 00:41:55.360
<v Speaker 1>call or something I'm not sure.

829
00:41:55.719 --> 00:41:58.360
<v Speaker 5>We've always called that the AE scream the awe scream.

830
00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I gain that makes sense. That totally makes sense. And

831
00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:03.800
<v Speaker 1>were there knocks in there as well? I couldn't. Is

832
00:42:03.800 --> 00:42:05.599
<v Speaker 1>that trying something else?

833
00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:08.559
<v Speaker 5>I don't remember. I think there may have been. But yeah,

834
00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:10.880
<v Speaker 5>we'd put up a tree stand, put probably twenty five

835
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:12.639
<v Speaker 5>feet in a tree on our side of the river

836
00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:15.800
<v Speaker 5>early in the year, like in April, to let it

837
00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:18.880
<v Speaker 5>just kind of become part of the landscape there. And

838
00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:23.360
<v Speaker 5>earlier in the year, Paul, who was in the tree

839
00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:26.639
<v Speaker 5>stand that night, watched as Jim and I came back

840
00:42:26.760 --> 00:42:28.400
<v Speaker 5>from the other side of the river. We'd gone over

841
00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:30.840
<v Speaker 5>to sit in a ground blind and just see if

842
00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:34.559
<v Speaker 5>anything happened by Nothing did, but Paul watched us through

843
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:37.840
<v Speaker 5>night vision come back through that section across the river.

844
00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:41.519
<v Speaker 5>The night before this, Jim had been up there and

845
00:42:41.599 --> 00:42:43.760
<v Speaker 5>five minutes after he got back down we got a

846
00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:46.480
<v Speaker 5>whoop a turf from across the river. So this night

847
00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:50.840
<v Speaker 5>this happened, that whoop the os scream, that's all we

848
00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:54.519
<v Speaker 5>heard from camp. Paul came back and let us know

849
00:42:54.559 --> 00:42:56.920
<v Speaker 5>that from where he was sitting right there, he could

850
00:42:57.000 --> 00:43:01.119
<v Speaker 5>hear these kind of grunts and huffs and low, low sounds,

851
00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:03.079
<v Speaker 5>and he could also hear something else doing a little

852
00:43:03.079 --> 00:43:06.280
<v Speaker 5>bit further north on the river. But he also watched

853
00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:11.440
<v Speaker 5>something he just described as dark and massive just kind

854
00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:15.760
<v Speaker 5>of rise up and move off behind the trees right there,

855
00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:17.559
<v Speaker 5>And it was right where Jim and I had walked.

856
00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:21.320
<v Speaker 5>He had walked, watched us walk from that area and

857
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:26.519
<v Speaker 5>across the river. He said, it was just compared to us,

858
00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:27.400
<v Speaker 5>just massive.

859
00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Those are some cool vocalizations. And you think these are

860
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:32.079
<v Speaker 1>just a few hundred yards away or something.

861
00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:37.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, just just across the river. The woops came

862
00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:46.599
<v Speaker 5>yards Yeah, probably the oscreen. The roops were down closer

863
00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:48.559
<v Speaker 5>to the river, so a little closer.

864
00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:52.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm uh. There was such a high quality recording it.

865
00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:56.039
<v Speaker 1>First of all, congratulations on that great job. But having

866
00:43:56.280 --> 00:43:59.199
<v Speaker 1>done my fair share of sasquatch recordings over the years,

867
00:43:59.239 --> 00:44:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I think Bubba would have to this with how good

868
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:04.920
<v Speaker 1>a quality recording you just played for us. It must

869
00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:09.880
<v Speaker 1>have been phenomenal in person, because recordings pale in comparison

870
00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:11.599
<v Speaker 1>to what you actually hear with your own ears.

871
00:44:11.880 --> 00:44:14.519
<v Speaker 5>They do volume wise, yeah, they also pick up a

872
00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:16.000
<v Speaker 5>lot of stuff that we don't hear with our own

873
00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:16.480
<v Speaker 5>ears too.

874
00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:20.159
<v Speaker 1>Ah, A good point. So how did that, like any

875
00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:23.599
<v Speaker 1>did this activity that particular night in the two thousand

876
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and seven did it continue all night long? And because

877
00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:29.079
<v Speaker 1>I know this is a small snippet of what you

878
00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:33.039
<v Speaker 1>actually recorded, it was extraordinarily active night all night long?

879
00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Or do they come and go and like it went

880
00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:35.639
<v Speaker 1>dead after a while?

881
00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:38.519
<v Speaker 5>It went dead after and typically most of the time

882
00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:42.280
<v Speaker 5>that's what happens. It's kind of like, you know, they

883
00:44:42.360 --> 00:44:44.440
<v Speaker 5>show their beds and then they take off and that's it.

884
00:44:44.920 --> 00:44:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, four hours work for fifteen minutes of fun.

885
00:44:47.960 --> 00:44:53.800
<v Speaker 3>Right, twenty years of work for like three hours.

886
00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:57.360
<v Speaker 1>And a couple of sightings, right, time well spent.

887
00:44:58.239 --> 00:44:58.480
<v Speaker 3>For me.

888
00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:01.599
<v Speaker 6>The brightside is a kind of made me think that

889
00:45:01.719 --> 00:45:03.639
<v Speaker 6>maybe they are real because I'd always.

890
00:45:03.320 --> 00:45:06.039
<v Speaker 3>Wondered when I was a kid, I did I really

891
00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:08.440
<v Speaker 3>see what I saw? It's like doing really existive.

892
00:45:08.480 --> 00:45:11.360
<v Speaker 6>I've been wasting a lot of time, But when I

893
00:45:11.400 --> 00:45:13.599
<v Speaker 6>saw the one now it's like, oh, hey, okay, it

894
00:45:13.800 --> 00:45:17.119
<v Speaker 6>wasn't a waste of time. Just took thirty years for

895
00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:19.119
<v Speaker 6>that to happen, but okay.

896
00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah thirty years. You have a few more thirty years

897
00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:25.920
<v Speaker 1>left in you good stay tuned. For more Bigfoot and

898
00:45:26.039 --> 00:45:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Beyond with Cliff and Bobo. We'll be right back after

899
00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:38.519
<v Speaker 1>these messages. Well, why don't we go chronologically? Okay, and

900
00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:40.639
<v Speaker 1>we can jump over to the next recording, which is

901
00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:45.239
<v Speaker 1>labeled July two thousand and eight. Display Mister Matt Prue,

902
00:45:45.239 --> 00:46:37.719
<v Speaker 1>why don't you queue that up for us?

903
00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:45.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

904
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:48.679
<v Speaker 1>That was interesting. Clearly started out with a human like sound,

905
00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:50.800
<v Speaker 1>but you know what sasquatches sound like big dudes in

906
00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:52.760
<v Speaker 1>the woods, So I mean, that's not a concern for

907
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:56.199
<v Speaker 1>me necessarily. And then of course the coyotes jumped in,

908
00:46:56.360 --> 00:46:59.239
<v Speaker 1>so our listeners, you know, clearly coyotes were present. And

909
00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:02.199
<v Speaker 1>then at the end I caught some sort of like,

910
00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:04.679
<v Speaker 1>oh like that kind of thing. Was that Do you

911
00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:06.960
<v Speaker 1>feel that that was in response to the coyotes or

912
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:08.880
<v Speaker 1>was it a separate individual or what did you hear

913
00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:09.760
<v Speaker 1>with your own years there?

914
00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:14.079
<v Speaker 5>I no clue. I don't know what it was a response.

915
00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:16.679
<v Speaker 5>That was the first time we ever heard that kind

916
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:19.360
<v Speaker 5>of sam what they kind of call now samurai chatter,

917
00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:22.280
<v Speaker 5>And that was the first time you ever heard any

918
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:22.480
<v Speaker 5>of that.

919
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:26.079
<v Speaker 1>So what was the prequel, like, what was the set

920
00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:29.239
<v Speaker 1>up the context of this particular vocalization what led to that.

921
00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:32.800
<v Speaker 5>Let me see, I've gotten my notes. I've gotten my

922
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:33.559
<v Speaker 5>notes right here.

923
00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:35.400
<v Speaker 1>You know what, By the way, there's nothing to be

924
00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:37.280
<v Speaker 1>embarrassed about with that. You sound like I think that

925
00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:41.320
<v Speaker 1>was a nervous laugh. But the best investigators take notes.

926
00:47:41.679 --> 00:47:44.079
<v Speaker 1>In fact, everybody on the audience please take note of this,

927
00:47:44.599 --> 00:47:47.159
<v Speaker 1>they are consulting their notes, which is the power of notes.

928
00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:49.159
<v Speaker 1>You think you're never going to forget such a thing

929
00:47:49.320 --> 00:47:51.679
<v Speaker 1>because it was such an earth moving sort of situation.

930
00:47:51.719 --> 00:47:55.679
<v Speaker 1>When you encounter a sasquatch nonsense, you will forget. Everyone

931
00:47:55.719 --> 00:47:58.639
<v Speaker 1>should take notes. So thank you very much for demonstrating that,

932
00:47:58.639 --> 00:48:00.599
<v Speaker 1>even though it sounds like you're a little about it.

933
00:48:00.599 --> 00:48:04.960
<v Speaker 6>So I'm just along for the ride.

934
00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:06.559
<v Speaker 1>That's cool, nothing wrong with that.

935
00:48:06.719 --> 00:48:10.559
<v Speaker 3>I keep up camp basically these days nice, excellent.

936
00:48:11.039 --> 00:48:15.119
<v Speaker 5>So it was Fast of July weekend. Typically that's our

937
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:18.599
<v Speaker 5>big has been our biggest attendance weekend. Our two smaller

938
00:48:18.679 --> 00:48:21.320
<v Speaker 5>kids we were always with us for the summer, so

939
00:48:21.360 --> 00:48:24.159
<v Speaker 5>they were there every year. It's a holiday weekend. So

940
00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:26.920
<v Speaker 5>our people who come from we had Pat and Joe

941
00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:30.760
<v Speaker 5>who came from the Toronto area. We had Jeff and

942
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:33.599
<v Speaker 5>Diane Simon who drove up all the way from Indianapolis

943
00:48:33.599 --> 00:48:36.000
<v Speaker 5>and for them it's like a seven hour drive and

944
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:38.320
<v Speaker 5>they were bringing their kids or kid at the time,

945
00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:39.719
<v Speaker 5>so it was it was a It was a big

946
00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:43.480
<v Speaker 5>group in camp. And earlier that night we had at

947
00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:46.760
<v Speaker 5>twelve ten, we had had like some of those O

948
00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:50.079
<v Speaker 5>screams across the river. I thought it was done and

949
00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:52.960
<v Speaker 5>over with. Everybody went to bed about twelve forty five,

950
00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:57.320
<v Speaker 5>but everybody was still awake when this started happening. And

951
00:48:57.760 --> 00:49:01.559
<v Speaker 5>that's about Yeah, that's about the context of the whole thing.

952
00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:05.360
<v Speaker 4>You know, did you guys ever do calls yourselves like

953
00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:07.320
<v Speaker 4>to elicit or do you just record?

954
00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:12.960
<v Speaker 5>We've tried a couple of times. It's it's been several

955
00:49:13.039 --> 00:49:15.800
<v Speaker 5>years since we've even tried that and never really got

956
00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:19.280
<v Speaker 5>a response to it. We found that every time we

957
00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:24.480
<v Speaker 5>have responded ourselves, it cuts everything off short. We've tried

958
00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:27.199
<v Speaker 5>a couple of times to have like me having the

959
00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:31.079
<v Speaker 5>female voice answer, to see if we could start kind

960
00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:33.920
<v Speaker 5>of training them to okay, to think, if I yell,

961
00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:38.000
<v Speaker 5>somebody's going to talk back, so maybe they'll, you know,

962
00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:40.440
<v Speaker 5>if we talk first, maybe we can get them to

963
00:49:40.519 --> 00:49:43.320
<v Speaker 5>yell back at us. But you know, a couple of

964
00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:45.880
<v Speaker 5>times we've done that and say, hey, you know talking

965
00:49:46.199 --> 00:49:50.000
<v Speaker 5>softly soft female voice, hello, you know we hear you that.

966
00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:51.519
<v Speaker 5>It just stops, it dead, just.

967
00:49:51.559 --> 00:49:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Tracks, So you don't in general, if they're going off,

968
00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:56.840
<v Speaker 1>you just stay quiet and enjoy it. There's no response

969
00:49:56.880 --> 00:50:00.840
<v Speaker 1>on your part that does anything except for drives them away. Right. Yep,

970
00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:03.440
<v Speaker 1>you said this was on July fourth. It wouldn't happen

971
00:50:03.440 --> 00:50:05.119
<v Speaker 1>to be the same July fourth that sighting that you

972
00:50:05.239 --> 00:50:06.360
<v Speaker 1>mentioned occurred on, would it?

973
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:13.280
<v Speaker 5>Let me see the citing Mike's from the car? Yes, yeah,

974
00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:15.599
<v Speaker 5>which two thousand and nine, so it was the following.

975
00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Year, following year. Okay, And do you you said that

976
00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:21.039
<v Speaker 1>July fourth is a really good day, like that's the

977
00:50:21.280 --> 00:50:23.280
<v Speaker 1>best time? Proud Like does it peak at that time

978
00:50:23.320 --> 00:50:26.280
<v Speaker 1>of year? And if so, is it? Are they do?

979
00:50:26.320 --> 00:50:28.119
<v Speaker 1>They seem to be present at all times a year.

980
00:50:28.599 --> 00:50:32.280
<v Speaker 5>We're all that we don't know. Our activity has always

981
00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:35.280
<v Speaker 5>followed like a bell curve. It starts in the spring,

982
00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:38.519
<v Speaker 5>sometimes early spring, It ramps up in the middle of

983
00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:40.679
<v Speaker 5>the summer, and then it starts dying back down again.

984
00:50:41.519 --> 00:50:45.719
<v Speaker 5>We have heard them into November, I believe.

985
00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:47.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I right about the start of hunting season because

986
00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:49.920
<v Speaker 6>we don't really go up there during hunting season.

987
00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:52.719
<v Speaker 3>No, there's too many rednecks, too many gone right.

988
00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:58.159
<v Speaker 5>As soon as soon as especially like gun season starts,

989
00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:03.840
<v Speaker 5>it it just stops, It just stops. There was one

990
00:51:03.880 --> 00:51:08.000
<v Speaker 5>person who lived across there's a road, that Northwest road

991
00:51:08.119 --> 00:51:11.679
<v Speaker 5>or that North South road. One person who lived across

992
00:51:11.719 --> 00:51:15.960
<v Speaker 5>the road claims to have watched one and I don't

993
00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:17.000
<v Speaker 5>know what time of the year it was, but it

994
00:51:17.039 --> 00:51:20.559
<v Speaker 5>was snowy walk up his sideyard and across the road

995
00:51:20.679 --> 00:51:24.239
<v Speaker 5>going like towards the river. But we've never seen or

996
00:51:24.280 --> 00:51:26.960
<v Speaker 5>heard anything. We're not up there as much either, But

997
00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:30.159
<v Speaker 5>even the landowner doesn't really see or hear much of anything.

998
00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:34.039
<v Speaker 4>Is it a topic of conversation amongst the residents that area,

999
00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:35.159
<v Speaker 4>Like did they see each other at the market?

1000
00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:37.440
<v Speaker 3>Goes? You hear that last night? That kind of stuff

1001
00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:39.079
<v Speaker 3>that I don't know.

1002
00:51:39.239 --> 00:51:42.280
<v Speaker 5>But there's a couple of people, the residents are aware.

1003
00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:45.360
<v Speaker 5>Some of them will talk about it. Some of them,

1004
00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:46.639
<v Speaker 5>you know, we've never talked to.

1005
00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:51.960
<v Speaker 6>So there's the one kid that actually lives across said

1006
00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:55.119
<v Speaker 6>he saw the wine because he found the frinch in

1007
00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:55.559
<v Speaker 6>the snow.

1008
00:51:55.639 --> 00:51:56.639
<v Speaker 5>That's all I was just talking about.

1009
00:51:56.679 --> 00:51:57.599
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's the same person.

1010
00:51:57.639 --> 00:52:00.239
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, you know what I wanted to know, the

1011
00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:02.960
<v Speaker 1>year round activity, because you've been working this spot, what

1012
00:52:03.119 --> 00:52:06.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty years or more and more or right around twenty years,

1013
00:52:06.760 --> 00:52:11.320
<v Speaker 1>and that quantity of data is of value. I know

1014
00:52:11.400 --> 00:52:13.599
<v Speaker 1>that out where I am. And it also it seems

1015
00:52:13.599 --> 00:52:16.280
<v Speaker 1>in Kentucky and in the in Washington at a location,

1016
00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and even in California at another location. The data that's coming

1017
00:52:19.519 --> 00:52:23.280
<v Speaker 1>in strongly indicates that they don't move very far. And

1018
00:52:23.320 --> 00:52:26.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious if that's in all areas of the country

1019
00:52:26.280 --> 00:52:27.880
<v Speaker 1>or if it's just the areas that I happen to

1020
00:52:27.920 --> 00:52:32.679
<v Speaker 1>be involved with slightly, because the data seems squarely in

1021
00:52:32.760 --> 00:52:35.239
<v Speaker 1>the corner of these things. More or less they put

1022
00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:38.880
<v Speaker 1>in a particular area. Now people say, oh, well, then

1023
00:52:38.880 --> 00:52:40.960
<v Speaker 1>you put cameras up in that area. The areas like

1024
00:52:41.000 --> 00:52:43.400
<v Speaker 1>ten miles by ten miles or more, you know. I mean,

1025
00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:46.079
<v Speaker 1>it's huge at the end of the day, but not

1026
00:52:46.360 --> 00:52:49.760
<v Speaker 1>really that big for a large terrestrial animal to be

1027
00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:53.400
<v Speaker 1>moving around in a fairly localized sort of place. And

1028
00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:56.920
<v Speaker 1>of course, this is based on very little data because

1029
00:52:57.239 --> 00:52:59.320
<v Speaker 1>of all the quote unquote researchers out there, there's not

1030
00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:02.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of data coming in. Honestly, there's a lot

1031
00:53:02.280 --> 00:53:05.159
<v Speaker 1>of stories and I heard knocks and Grandma's holler, that

1032
00:53:05.639 --> 00:53:07.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of stuff, but there's not a lot of actual

1033
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:10.920
<v Speaker 1>data and information and documentation coming in. So we don't

1034
00:53:10.920 --> 00:53:13.480
<v Speaker 1>really know yet. But it sounds like you've been collecting

1035
00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:15.559
<v Speaker 1>good notes for quite a long time. It might be

1036
00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:20.400
<v Speaker 1>really interesting to check into that. I mean, obviously, sightings

1037
00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:23.960
<v Speaker 1>and activity in general will peak at certain times a year,

1038
00:53:24.159 --> 00:53:26.519
<v Speaker 1>but you also have to include the human factor. You

1039
00:53:26.559 --> 00:53:28.280
<v Speaker 1>said so yourself, we don't really go out there that

1040
00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:31.199
<v Speaker 1>time here there's a big human factor involved. But I'd

1041
00:53:31.239 --> 00:53:35.360
<v Speaker 1>be very interesting. I would be very interested to learn

1042
00:53:35.360 --> 00:53:39.719
<v Speaker 1>about some of the seasonal behavior in that sort of way,

1043
00:53:39.800 --> 00:53:41.960
<v Speaker 1>or if there's any evidence like footprints that might be

1044
00:53:42.000 --> 00:53:44.559
<v Speaker 1>attributable to a certain individual in the area in the

1045
00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:47.760
<v Speaker 1>snow or something like that. What's your gut feeling or

1046
00:53:47.760 --> 00:53:49.800
<v Speaker 1>what is the data in your area point to Do

1047
00:53:49.840 --> 00:53:50.960
<v Speaker 1>these things move very far?

1048
00:53:51.599 --> 00:53:55.079
<v Speaker 5>I don't think so. I don't think so, And we theorize,

1049
00:53:55.159 --> 00:53:57.480
<v Speaker 5>of course, we don't know for sure about Our best

1050
00:53:57.519 --> 00:53:59.960
<v Speaker 5>guess is that there are a lot of seater swamps

1051
00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:02.639
<v Speaker 5>the area, and we think they've probably moved deep into

1052
00:54:02.639 --> 00:54:03.599
<v Speaker 5>those cedar swamps.

1053
00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Literally, that was my next question is like wintertime, how

1054
00:54:06.639 --> 00:54:10.400
<v Speaker 1>many cedar swamps are in the vicinity? Literally? Yeah, because

1055
00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:12.199
<v Speaker 1>cedar swamps I think are the key to this thing.

1056
00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:16.679
<v Speaker 3>There's also the what the heck's name of it by

1057
00:54:16.719 --> 00:54:19.800
<v Speaker 3>Houghton Lake, Oh, dead Streams Street swamp.

1058
00:54:19.599 --> 00:54:22.079
<v Speaker 6>There that's basically right in the middle of the state

1059
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:24.320
<v Speaker 6>over there as your head towards like gray Lean Air

1060
00:54:24.400 --> 00:54:28.320
<v Speaker 6>Base and stuff. And except for an occasional military patrol,

1061
00:54:28.360 --> 00:54:31.000
<v Speaker 6>there's really not much it goes on out there, especially

1062
00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:35.280
<v Speaker 6>in the winter. It's I mean, I figured for a

1063
00:54:35.320 --> 00:54:37.920
<v Speaker 6>Sasquatch it's only like less than fifty miles away, so

1064
00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:39.000
<v Speaker 6>they could probably make.

1065
00:54:38.880 --> 00:54:39.519
<v Speaker 3>That in a day.

1066
00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:41.800
<v Speaker 1>But if there's some in your neck of the wood,

1067
00:54:41.800 --> 00:54:42.880
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't have to go anywhere.

1068
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:44.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they wouldn't.

1069
00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:47.920
<v Speaker 6>I don't just some of the walks I've taken around

1070
00:54:47.960 --> 00:54:50.239
<v Speaker 6>the area, and there's there's a great area to the

1071
00:54:50.280 --> 00:54:53.880
<v Speaker 6>south of us that's I mean, there aren't any even

1072
00:54:53.960 --> 00:54:57.519
<v Speaker 6>really any houses there. They could hide there easily. But

1073
00:54:58.360 --> 00:55:01.760
<v Speaker 6>even getting back there, we went for a walk, me

1074
00:55:01.840 --> 00:55:04.280
<v Speaker 6>and other friend of ours went for a walk.

1075
00:55:05.719 --> 00:55:08.599
<v Speaker 3>Was it last yeah, last year or maybe even earlier.

1076
00:55:08.639 --> 00:55:10.679
<v Speaker 3>This year. My memory is so bad. If I didn't

1077
00:55:10.679 --> 00:55:12.119
<v Speaker 3>remember things, I forget things.

1078
00:55:13.480 --> 00:55:16.760
<v Speaker 6>We trailbaves here there for probably about three miles, but

1079
00:55:16.840 --> 00:55:19.559
<v Speaker 6>it took us like six hours to do it. So

1080
00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:22.239
<v Speaker 6>anything that got back in there, you're not going to

1081
00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:23.880
<v Speaker 6>find it if it doesn't want to be found.

1082
00:55:24.360 --> 00:55:28.360
<v Speaker 1>And of course, the winners of Michigan or legendary you know,

1083
00:55:28.440 --> 00:55:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's they're ridiculous. I can't imagine why anyone

1084
00:55:32.039 --> 00:55:35.320
<v Speaker 1>lives there. Nothing personal, of course, I mean you're much

1085
00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:36.280
<v Speaker 1>hardier folk than me.

1086
00:55:38.519 --> 00:55:39.320
<v Speaker 3>It's a snowlishing.

1087
00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean five ten feet of snow. Imagine on occasions.

1088
00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:45.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, Moneymaker once told me that he found the

1089
00:55:46.119 --> 00:55:50.360
<v Speaker 1>spot that he felt that the sasquatch had dug through

1090
00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:54.440
<v Speaker 1>the snow down to the ground level and was using

1091
00:55:54.480 --> 00:55:56.719
<v Speaker 1>that to just increase the temperature a few degrees for

1092
00:55:56.760 --> 00:55:58.920
<v Speaker 1>its own use. Of course, I think I might have

1093
00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:00.880
<v Speaker 1>mentioned to you, maybe in the museum or maybe blabbing

1094
00:56:00.880 --> 00:56:03.760
<v Speaker 1>about it on the podcast. I think Cedar swamps for

1095
00:56:03.880 --> 00:56:06.960
<v Speaker 1>a big key to their survival during the wintertime. Do

1096
00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:10.480
<v Speaker 1>you have any idea what these local Sasquatches in your

1097
00:56:10.519 --> 00:56:12.960
<v Speaker 1>area are doing to accommodate themselves during.

1098
00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:16.960
<v Speaker 6>The winter I think they're using vacated bear dams or

1099
00:56:17.159 --> 00:56:19.840
<v Speaker 6>sometimes even maybe coyote dems if they want to dig

1100
00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:23.360
<v Speaker 6>down a little bit farther, because I've actually stuck my

1101
00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:25.599
<v Speaker 6>head into a couple of bear dems and some of

1102
00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:28.679
<v Speaker 6>them are have maybe ten feet back and.

1103
00:56:28.760 --> 00:56:29.599
<v Speaker 3>Eight feet high.

1104
00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:33.199
<v Speaker 6>Wow, that one that's on the river bank that you're

1105
00:56:33.239 --> 00:56:34.840
<v Speaker 6>not supposed to know that we.

1106
00:56:34.880 --> 00:56:35.639
<v Speaker 3>Stuck our heads in.

1107
00:56:39.880 --> 00:56:43.079
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean you could easily stand up in there,

1108
00:56:43.440 --> 00:56:46.679
<v Speaker 6>if you squat down. I mean you could actually sleep

1109
00:56:46.719 --> 00:56:49.559
<v Speaker 6>in there. I mean there's nothing in there, not even

1110
00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:51.320
<v Speaker 6>the bear, which is probably a good thing.

1111
00:56:51.400 --> 00:56:54.599
<v Speaker 1>But that's really interesting because everybody's heard, of course about

1112
00:56:54.599 --> 00:56:57.079
<v Speaker 1>the Olympic Project nest site, and most people are aware

1113
00:56:57.280 --> 00:56:59.519
<v Speaker 1>that there was a second nest site found just a

1114
00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:02.519
<v Speaker 1>ridge or over from the initial nest site. And I

1115
00:57:02.599 --> 00:57:05.199
<v Speaker 1>was privy to that location just probably a week or

1116
00:57:05.239 --> 00:57:08.280
<v Speaker 1>two after it was found. And what we determined by

1117
00:57:08.320 --> 00:57:12.280
<v Speaker 1>our onside investigation is that that particular sasquatch, and we're

1118
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:15.440
<v Speaker 1>confident it was a sasquatch, by the way, was repurposing

1119
00:57:15.519 --> 00:57:19.719
<v Speaker 1>a bear den that was underneath the log. All the

1120
00:57:19.760 --> 00:57:22.599
<v Speaker 1>all the nesting material was piled out in front of

1121
00:57:22.639 --> 00:57:24.480
<v Speaker 1>this little hole, and I say little, it was probably

1122
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:26.719
<v Speaker 1>about two and a half maybe three feet wide or

1123
00:57:26.760 --> 00:57:30.199
<v Speaker 1>something like that. And inside whatever it was brought the

1124
00:57:30.239 --> 00:57:33.119
<v Speaker 1>nesting material inside there as well and was digging out

1125
00:57:33.239 --> 00:57:36.920
<v Speaker 1>the hole to make it larger. We retrieved a couple

1126
00:57:37.039 --> 00:57:41.639
<v Speaker 1>bare hair, I believe, from from the nesting material. Well

1127
00:57:41.719 --> 00:57:45.079
<v Speaker 1>inside the inside the den area, there were scrapes on

1128
00:57:45.119 --> 00:57:48.280
<v Speaker 1>the wall inside this this little den was underneath a log,

1129
00:57:48.360 --> 00:57:51.519
<v Speaker 1>a fairly large log, so it kind of dug it.

1130
00:57:51.599 --> 00:57:53.719
<v Speaker 1>A bear apparently had dug out this small den, but

1131
00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:56.239
<v Speaker 1>a sasquatch came along later and was repurposing it. And

1132
00:57:56.280 --> 00:57:58.199
<v Speaker 1>of course some people out there, if we have I

1133
00:57:58.239 --> 00:58:01.599
<v Speaker 1>hope we have skeptical listeners. I always welcome skeptics as

1134
00:58:01.639 --> 00:58:03.559
<v Speaker 1>long as they're they're polite and kind of ask good

1135
00:58:03.639 --> 00:58:07.199
<v Speaker 1>questions and not just jerks, but our skeptics out there

1136
00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:08.400
<v Speaker 1>might be saying, well, how do you know this this

1137
00:58:08.519 --> 00:58:10.679
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a bear thing like bears brought in all this

1138
00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:13.599
<v Speaker 1>nesting material. Well, there's a couple of reasons. Number one

1139
00:58:13.679 --> 00:58:17.679
<v Speaker 1>is outside the hole that was the initial bear den.

1140
00:58:18.679 --> 00:58:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I interpreted the area as having been dug out because

1141
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:25.519
<v Speaker 1>there was a pile of dirt outside. It's a few

1142
00:58:25.519 --> 00:58:30.159
<v Speaker 1>feet outside like tailings basically, so something was going scooping

1143
00:58:30.239 --> 00:58:32.840
<v Speaker 1>up dirt and piling it out in front of the

1144
00:58:32.880 --> 00:58:36.719
<v Speaker 1>hole to make it larger. And in that pile of

1145
00:58:36.880 --> 00:58:38.719
<v Speaker 1>dirt and the tailings or whatever you want to call

1146
00:58:38.760 --> 00:58:42.320
<v Speaker 1>it was a hand print, not a paw print, but

1147
00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:46.960
<v Speaker 1>a hand print. And then we've also in the area.

1148
00:58:47.719 --> 00:58:52.119
<v Speaker 1>Todd Hale was there, Shane Corson was there. After a

1149
00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:54.679
<v Speaker 1>period of time had gone by and we were confident

1150
00:58:54.719 --> 00:58:56.760
<v Speaker 1>that the sasquatch was not going to be returning to

1151
00:58:56.840 --> 00:59:00.199
<v Speaker 1>the location. We didn't want to disturb any behaviors or

1152
00:59:00.679 --> 00:59:02.159
<v Speaker 1>for it and whils. We didn't want to lose any

1153
00:59:02.159 --> 00:59:04.599
<v Speaker 1>opportunities of knowing where one was going, of course, But

1154
00:59:04.679 --> 00:59:06.639
<v Speaker 1>after we were confident that the thing wasn't going to

1155
00:59:06.679 --> 00:59:09.559
<v Speaker 1>come back anymore, we started collecting some of the nesting

1156
00:59:09.639 --> 00:59:14.760
<v Speaker 1>material and that trip yielded three footprint casts that I

1157
00:59:14.840 --> 00:59:19.000
<v Speaker 1>personally took and one I think two actually two of

1158
00:59:19.039 --> 00:59:24.960
<v Speaker 1>those casts. The footprints were underneath the nesting material, which

1159
00:59:25.239 --> 00:59:27.800
<v Speaker 1>of course gives us a time period, a timeline here.

1160
00:59:28.159 --> 00:59:30.519
<v Speaker 1>Those footprints were laid down before the nesting material was

1161
00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:35.519
<v Speaker 1>put down there. So with those clues I'm confident enough

1162
00:59:35.519 --> 00:59:38.800
<v Speaker 1>to say that that was a Sasquatch situation, and it

1163
00:59:38.920 --> 00:59:42.199
<v Speaker 1>seems to me it was actually repurposing a bare den.

1164
00:59:42.599 --> 00:59:45.480
<v Speaker 1>So you bringing that up is really really interesting to me.

1165
00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:48.119
<v Speaker 1>So much has been going on, and apparently it's going

1166
00:59:48.159 --> 00:59:51.039
<v Speaker 1>on to this present day as well, or pretty close

1167
00:59:51.079 --> 00:59:52.599
<v Speaker 1>to this prison day I guess, I mean, or here

1168
00:59:52.639 --> 00:59:53.920
<v Speaker 1>with us now. You don't know what's going on there.

1169
00:59:54.440 --> 00:59:57.639
<v Speaker 1>But having said that, we're kind of running out of

1170
00:59:57.639 --> 00:59:59.599
<v Speaker 1>time on the initial podcast, I thought we're going to

1171
00:59:59.719 --> 01:00:01.679
<v Speaker 1>jump in the vocalizations and mostly talk about that, but

1172
01:00:01.719 --> 01:00:05.679
<v Speaker 1>there was so much more information to share. So would

1173
01:00:05.679 --> 01:00:07.639
<v Speaker 1>you mind sticking around for our members section and we

1174
01:00:07.679 --> 01:00:11.159
<v Speaker 1>can listen to the last few vocalization recordings that we

1175
01:00:11.199 --> 01:00:13.360
<v Speaker 1>can and learn a little bit more about the situation

1176
01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>and bring it up to the present day.

1177
01:00:15.039 --> 01:00:16.400
<v Speaker 5>Yes, sure, that.

1178
01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>Would be fantastic. I would really really appreciate that. So, yeah,

1179
01:00:20.119 --> 01:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>people listening out there, there's gonna be more over our

1180
01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>member section. I think it's released every Thursday, if remember right,

1181
01:00:25.119 --> 01:00:26.639
<v Speaker 1>five bucks a month if you want to join us,

1182
01:00:26.639 --> 01:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>it's great, I mean that's what I hear at least,

1183
01:00:29.159 --> 01:00:31.079
<v Speaker 1>So Bob, do you have anything else to add? Before

1184
01:00:31.079 --> 01:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>we split and do the member stuff. No, all right,

1185
01:00:34.280 --> 01:00:35.880
<v Speaker 1>very good, then why don't you dig us out of here? Then?

1186
01:00:36.400 --> 01:00:38.920
<v Speaker 8>Jivin Stacy, thanks a lot for coming on the show

1187
01:00:38.960 --> 01:00:41.360
<v Speaker 8>with us today and I appreciate you're going to stick

1188
01:00:41.360 --> 01:00:44.679
<v Speaker 8>around for the members section and tell all you out

1189
01:00:44.679 --> 01:00:48.599
<v Speaker 8>there listening, thank you for joining us, and until next time, y'all,

1190
01:00:48.679 --> 01:00:50.400
<v Speaker 8>keep it squatchy.
