Thank you, Hi, Peter, Yes Hi, 14 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:52,320 How are you doing, Sirrey? 15 00:00:53,759 --> 00:00:55,399 Speaker 2: Good? Good good. 16 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: Now feel free to share what's on your mind. 17 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: This was back in Let's say so well. Let me 18 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:11,760 let me start over. So I was living in Minnesota 19 00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:15,879 of my life. When I was younger, in my twenties, 20 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,879 I decided I wanted to move out to Washington State. 21 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,439 I had a friend that lived out there, and he 22 00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:30,239 got me to come out and and live with him 23 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,519 out there, and he was telling me about the Olympic 24 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,840 Peninsula and how great all the hiking and diverse the 25 00:01:39,879 --> 00:01:44,079 forest was. And and so we did a number of 26 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:51,920 hikes to different locations around the Olympic Forest in the 27 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:59,480 Olympic Peninsula, and one particular hike we had another friend 28 00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:06,439 come out h and to visit and and we, uh, 29 00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:11,919 I don't because because I I tried to recall where 30 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,599 exactly we were, and I I I had asked my buddies. 31 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,240 Now this was probably about a year ago, you know, 32 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,960 where exactly we were, and and they thought it was Staircase. 33 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,800 But I've gone back and looked at at at Staircase 34 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,879 and and see what happened was was it was early 35 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:41,120 spring and and the snow was still still there. As 36 00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:44,639 you as you gain elevation, the snow got more and more. 37 00:02:44,719 --> 00:02:48,120 So we were using back then of course, there were 38 00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:51,319 just no you know, phones or anything like that, so 39 00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:55,599 so we used topographical maps and we were able to 40 00:02:55,879 --> 00:03:00,680 kind of like kind of parallel the trail, but we 41 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:07,840 were definitely off the trail. And so, you know, going 42 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,199 going back to to why they thought it was staircase 43 00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:17,000 was and then now I use those topographical maps and 44 00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:19,960 I look up there and and what we were kind 45 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,080 of going for was this ranger station up on top 46 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:29,240 of this on top of this mountain. And we're like, yeah, 47 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,800 let's let's let's work our way up. Let's see if 48 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,879 we can get up to that range station. Now, we 49 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,039 were in our early twenties. We were in great shape. 50 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:43,400 You know, we could do anything. So we now going 51 00:03:43,479 --> 00:03:48,159 back to looking at the maps. I looked at Staircase 52 00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:53,039 and there's no ranger station up. We had spent one 53 00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:57,840 night prior, got there like mid afternoon, spent the night, 54 00:03:58,039 --> 00:04:01,400 got up the next day hiking down the trail, So 55 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,080 I mean we weren't I would say, you know, maybe 56 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,639 four to five miles in when we lost the trail 57 00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:14,680 and yeah, there was there was no ranger station up 58 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,680 on Staircase. So I'm not convinced that that's where we were. 59 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:26,240 But anyway, we started to ascend the mountain, got off 60 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,240 the trail, ran into the snow. We ended up kind 61 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,680 of looking at the map and going, you know, if 62 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,399 we just traverse this mountain side, we can get up 63 00:04:35,439 --> 00:04:39,639 to the top of this mountain and just you know, 64 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,600 take the ridge and meet up to that ranger station, 65 00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:51,240 and so as we're ascending, we kept hearing it was 66 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,000 like a it was like a grunting. It was like 67 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,959 a the best thing that I'm gonna I'm gonna do 68 00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:02,040 it right now. But this is what it sounded like. 69 00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:08,680 It was a huh huh huh. And it was in 70 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,160 a sequence of four every time. 71 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:12,439 Speaker 1: Wow. 72 00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 2: Okay. And now I've I've since I've talked to bigfoot 73 00:05:21,079 --> 00:05:24,120 researcher in the area, Shane Corson. I don't know if 74 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,800 you're familiar with great guy. Yeah, And and I was 75 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,560 on the phone with him for about two hours, and 76 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,720 he was convinced that that we hadn't experienced because I'm 77 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,120 announce to me. You know, back then I wasn't as 78 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,879 h h I I'd say I didn't know all the 79 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,519 animal sounds like I do now. Now I'm an avid 80 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:54,720 at doorsman, hunter, fisher, you know, And and I definitely 81 00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:01,720 don't know what that animal sound would be besides maybe 82 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,879 a bear. But now I've gone and done my research 83 00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:10,079 researching on on sounds that bears make, and I've even 84 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,600 came pretty close to bear a few times, and they 85 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,680 don't make that sound. They've never made that sound when 86 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,199 I'm around anyway, and Shane kind of had the same perspective. Anyway, 87 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:31,399 as we're sending the mountain side whatever was making that sound, 88 00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:34,560 we were getting closer to it because it was sound 89 00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:39,240 off every oh twenty minutes or so, I would say, 90 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,120 and we're just we're taking our time, We're going up outside. 91 00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:44,600 We kind of all looked at each other. We're like, 92 00:06:44,879 --> 00:06:46,879 what is that? Is that an elk? You know, well 93 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,000 I elk hunt, so I know now, but that's not 94 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,920 an elk. But back then we're like, yeah, probably, you 95 00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:57,959 know whatever, no big deal, let's just keep going. So 96 00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:01,319 we ended up climbing up. We actually got to where 97 00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:03,720 we had packs on and stuff. We got to where 98 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,480 it was so steep that we we were digging our 99 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,959 hands in the dirt to get up to the side 100 00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:12,000 of the mountain. I mean it was it was steep, 101 00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:16,439 and so we ended up getting up there. This is 102 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,319 this is an area that I imagine no one has ever 103 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:27,920 been because of the terrain. We end up getting up 104 00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:31,040 so high that that we kind of ran into it 105 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:37,319 got really rocky and bouldery, and and now that that 106 00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:42,000 sound we heard it sounded off oh five times or 107 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,639 so since the first time we heard it. And as 108 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,720 we're ascending and getting towards the top of this ridge, 109 00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:50,920 it is getting louder, but we're not seeing anything. We're 110 00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:56,560 expecting to see whatever this sound is pretty soon, because 111 00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:00,480 it must be an animal warning us that it doesn't 112 00:08:00,519 --> 00:08:03,600 want us too close, and so we're going to see it, 113 00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:07,720 you know, and make a visual and decide what to 114 00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:10,639 do from there, but we never see it anyway. We 115 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,800 end up getting up there. It's real rocky. We kind 116 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,519 of spidered our way across as boulder and there was 117 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,319 a there was a creek coming down. We we got 118 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,360 across the creek and and we just kind of got 119 00:08:24,439 --> 00:08:28,000 up there and and and we're like trying to just 120 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,079 figure out a path to get to the top of 121 00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:33,399 this ridge. And we kind of got to a spot 122 00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:37,960 where there is no way we're getting up any further, 123 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,639 Like it's just huge boulders, and I mean, it would 124 00:08:42,639 --> 00:08:45,919 be stupid to try to go any further from here. 125 00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:48,399 And we're kind of we got out our maps, we're 126 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,000 kind of trying to figure out what to do, and 127 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:57,679 all of a sudden, and no joke, it was so 128 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:05,519 loud that I swear it was right on top of 129 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,159 us or right behind the boulder, but I could actually 130 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:17,879 hear the the almost the breath from the every time 131 00:09:17,919 --> 00:09:24,879 it grunted and did the I mean it was and 132 00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:27,279 we all looked at each other when it did it, 133 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,159 like let's get out of here, Like we were all 134 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:37,600 just freaked out, Like it was like like, dude, it's 135 00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:41,759 right there, Like whatever it is is right on top 136 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,039 of us. And so we we just turned around and 137 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:51,559 went back the way we came, and we kind of 138 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,519 got to a point where we couldn't like night night 139 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,919 was falling and we didn't want to go down that 140 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,679 that's steep embankment again. But it was kind of like 141 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,639 we tried going down further and trying to find a 142 00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:09,960 way up, and there was just nothing. And we actually 143 00:10:10,039 --> 00:10:14,840 ended up camping out against a pine tree. And we 144 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,440 were in a two and a half man kelty tent 145 00:10:18,279 --> 00:10:22,480 with three guys, So we were tight in this two 146 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,240 and a half man tent with our feet against a 147 00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:33,039 pine tree on a you know, a steep slope. So 148 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,080 that was it, that was all we had. So we 149 00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:39,039 ended up we end up in the morning, we were 150 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,679 all piled down on the bottom of the tent. Hey guys, 151 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,639 get up. Oh my god, doing twister on the bottom 152 00:10:44,639 --> 00:10:49,120 of the tent. Anyway, Yeah, we end up leaving. We 153 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,799 got out of there. We end up leaving, and we 154 00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:55,120 really didn't really talk about it after that. It wasn't 155 00:10:55,159 --> 00:10:59,600 like it it was. It wasn't like the hoighlight of 156 00:10:59,639 --> 00:11:04,960 the the trip. It wasn't like something that and and 157 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,759 and Bigfoot didn't even we It wasn't even brought up. 158 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,159 It wasn't you know, I knew nothing really about it 159 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,600 back then. I really didn't. It just didn't register. And 160 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,679 with my two bodies it didn't either. Now now that 161 00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:27,639 I've kind of you know've been listening to shows like 162 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,000 Yours and and stuff and and and now now with 163 00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:37,240 that being said, I've only heard one encounter where somebody 164 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,399 has heard that, and it was almost to the tea 165 00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:44,720 exactly what they heard.

Yeah. 210 00:14:34,679 --> 00:14:34,919 Speaker 1: Sure. 211 00:14:37,039 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: So basically, when I was a kid, I I lived 212 00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:50,240 in a neighborhood, just a regular neighborhood in the middle 213 00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:57,039 of the city in Saint Club, Minnesota, and I would 214 00:14:57,159 --> 00:14:59,679 I grew up with two sisters, one older, one younger, 215 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,080 and and my younger sister once son and be like, 216 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,519 you know, I'm I'm scared tonight we sleep with me? 217 00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:07,799 And I was like, sure, I'll sleep with you. And 218 00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:12,879 so I was in her bedroom and and and I 219 00:15:12,919 --> 00:15:16,759 woke up in the middle of the night with the 220 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,639 and I heard the sound like like I kind of 221 00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:23,919 opened my eyes. I kind of heard like a creaking sound. 222 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,000 I opened my eyes, and I I look at the 223 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:36,720 bedroom window and and I see, Uh, it was definitely 224 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:42,559 a full body apparition of a Native American young girl. 225 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,519 And I say Native American because I could I could 226 00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:49,240 see the garb she was wearing. She had braids, she 227 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,799 had braids, and she had a doll in her arm. 228 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,159 And it was kind of weird because I know, I mean, 229 00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:02,000 he was on a rocking chair and that's what was 230 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,320 making the creaking. And I'm not sure that rocking chairs 231 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,720 and Native American people if there's any correlation. You never know, 232 00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:14,320 I guess, but maybe they could have traded a rocking 233 00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:18,480 chair for who knows. Anyway, that's what I saw, and 234 00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:22,399 I just kind of chocked it up to it, and 235 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,879 I did pinch myself. I was like, I'm not dreaming, 236 00:16:25,039 --> 00:16:28,840 I'm seeing what I'm seeing here. And I kind of 237 00:16:28,919 --> 00:16:30,720 just put it in the back of my mind. And 238 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,519 a few years later, I was talking to my neighbor 239 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,799 that lives across the street, and behind his house is 240 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,559 a big set of woods and it never got developed 241 00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:44,080 for whatever reason. To this day, it never got developed. 242 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,720 And he said to me, because we always went back 243 00:16:48,759 --> 00:16:54,159 in those woods and played, and he told me, apparently 244 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:59,120 this is a there's Native American barrel growings back here, 245 00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:03,519 and it just clicked in my mind. I was like, 246 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:11,039 oh my gosh, yeah, okay, yeah, that just confirmed what 247 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:18,359 I saw was probably who knows what what that neighborhood 248 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,000 was built on, you know, and. 249 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: No, absolutely now probably in the nineties. 250 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:32,599 Speaker 2: You're saying that neighborhood was probably built probably in the seventies, 251 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:40,160 and I was. I was there in would have been 252 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:48,319 eighty eighty two. Eighty two to eighty seven is when 253 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:55,599 I lived there. So yeah, anyway, going forward from there, 254 00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:58,480 my parents end up buying a house out in out 255 00:17:58,519 --> 00:18:02,599 in the country and uh, we lived out there. Almost 256 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:12,920 immediately started having activity, paranormal activity. And I know, you're 257 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,640 not a paranormal show. There's it brings me to what 258 00:18:17,759 --> 00:18:20,720 I'm going to be talking about, Okay, but this is 259 00:18:20,759 --> 00:18:23,519 where my belief in the paranormal and and everything else 260 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:28,759 come into play. But so I had I had a 261 00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:30,039 few different experiences. 262 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:30,319 Speaker 1: Uh. 263 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 2: The first one was I had a I had a 264 00:18:35,279 --> 00:18:39,279 I woke up to like someone turned on the light. 265 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:44,880 I had a bright or floating around in my room 266 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,920 and it was so bright that that I thought someone 267 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,400 turned on the light. And I watched it as it 268 00:18:51,559 --> 00:18:55,640 floated around by the ceiling and then it sunk into 269 00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:02,880 the light bulb and just dissipated. It was weird. And 270 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,599 then and then we had the heat would be turned 271 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,279 up up in the we had. It was kind of 272 00:19:11,279 --> 00:19:14,039 a It was an old farmhouse built in nineteen oh three, 273 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,359 and the it had it had an upstairs, had an 274 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,599 old basement that was not livable. It was like the 275 00:19:23,039 --> 00:19:28,680 the rock wall type basement. And then had had upstairs. 276 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,359 And then and then out of my sister's room, you 277 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,160 could open the door and go up the steps to 278 00:19:34,839 --> 00:19:37,599 the peak of the attic, and there was a room 279 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,319 up there, and they obviously used it for storage or whatever, 280 00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:45,000 but it was head carpet and stuff and just a 281 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:51,079 panel ceiling. And the heat would get turned up all 282 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,119 the way up there, and my dad was thinking it 283 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,400 was one of the kids, who's turning the heat up 284 00:19:57,519 --> 00:20:01,039 up there all the way up None of us you know, 285 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,759 why would we do that, you know, So it was 286 00:20:03,799 --> 00:20:06,480 none of us. It was just get turned up all 287 00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:10,079 the way. And it happened like three or four times. Anyway, 288 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,559 I was up there, I had a drum set. I 289 00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:18,160 was jamming on my drum set, and all of a sudden, 290 00:20:18,319 --> 00:20:21,559 I got I got like my spidy senses went off, 291 00:20:22,839 --> 00:20:25,359 and like the hair on the back of my neck 292 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,599 stood up, like someone's right behind me. And I turned 293 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,359 around and we had a we We we'd gone to 294 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,119 Mexico a couple of times when we were when we 295 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:41,079 were kids, and we brought back those Mariachi puppets. And 296 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,279 I had one of those nailed up to the uh. 297 00:20:45,319 --> 00:20:49,119 On the strings, there's a little wooden cross, and I 298 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,640 had that nailed up to the ceiling. So the puppet 299 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,000 was just hanging, I don't know, kind of creepy, but 300 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:59,160 whatever I was whatever uh. Anyway, I had that nailed 301 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,799 up to the ceiling. I turned around, and that Mariachi 302 00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:08,160 puppet was like swaying back and forth like someone just 303 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:15,400 brushed by its. Yeah. I pretty much dropped my drumsticks 304 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,680 and ran downstairs. And I didn't go back up there 305 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,920 for a really long time. A few other things happened, 306 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,000 but I'm going to try to get to the point 307 00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:27,799 of my story. The biggest thing that happened was my 308 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,200 dog was missing. My sister and I were home alone. 309 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,279 We couldn't find her anywhere. We heard her barking. I 310 00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:37,960 went into my older sister's room and I heard her 311 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:44,079 bark inside the armoire that was last shut. I opened 312 00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:46,200 it up. She was on the Now I was a 313 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,359 little like a lost apsle if you know what kind 314 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,519 of dog that is. Yeah, And she was on the 315 00:21:51,559 --> 00:21:56,279 top shelf like the height of my chin. No way 316 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:57,519 she'd be able to get up there. 317 00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:58,559 Speaker 3: Wow. 318 00:21:58,839 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 2: I looked at my sister said, are you playing with me? 319 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,920 And she started crying, So I know she didn't do it. 320 00:22:05,279 --> 00:22:09,799 And we were the only ones home. So that was 321 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,720 the freakiest stuff anyway, you know. So I kind of 322 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:20,160 had that as different things happened, I had kind of 323 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,519 that spidey sense, you know, like a sixth sense or 324 00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:28,240 whatever you want to call it, that something was near 325 00:22:28,759 --> 00:22:31,799 or something was gonna happen, or you know what I mean. 326 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,559 Like I could always feel like when there was a 327 00:22:34,599 --> 00:22:44,400 spear present, And so when that happened on the mountain, 328 00:22:46,079 --> 00:22:50,440 I got that feeling like, that feeling came over me. 329 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,960 And I don't know, you know, I just you know 330 00:22:56,079 --> 00:22:58,880 that feeling when it happens to you. And I'm sure 331 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,799 anybody who's listening he knows that feeling, knows what I'm 332 00:23:01,799 --> 00:23:06,000 talking about. But that feeling came over me, and it 333 00:23:06,079 --> 00:23:10,519 was it was it was kind of a kind of 334 00:23:10,519 --> 00:23:14,240 a I don't want to use the word overwhelming. It 335 00:23:14,279 --> 00:23:19,960 wasn't overwhelming, but it was familiar. I knew exactly that feeling. 336 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,039 I knew exactly what I was feeling like. So I 337 00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:29,359 don't know what that had to do with it, with that, 338 00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:39,000 with that encounter, but that's the feeling I got. So yeah, 339 00:23:39,039 --> 00:23:43,519 one more thing. So and and I kind of I've 340 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,200 kind of heard this take before but not exactly, but 341 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,400 people kind of always, you know, say what, you know, 342 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,039 what do they think the correlation between extraterrestrial and and 343 00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:02,160 and Bigfoot is? Because as they see the orbs around 344 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:09,160 Bigfoot some sometimes sometimes not, but sometimes there's the lights 345 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,799 in the woods, the orbs, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, 346 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,839 my take on it is is that I totally, one 347 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,039 hundred percent believe that we are not the only life 348 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,799 on this planet. And there is life beyond us, way 349 00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:29,839 more advanced than us. And I do believe we are 350 00:24:29,839 --> 00:24:36,279 being visited. With that being said, uh, the orbs that 351 00:24:36,319 --> 00:24:43,319 people see in correlation to the Bigfoot, are those beings 352 00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:53,359 studying Bigfoot with I'd say something like our drones. They 353 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,839 have their own drones and they're highly they're highly advanced. 354 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,039 Why not if you if you came from another planet, 355 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,599 you came to this and he said, Wow, humans are 356 00:25:05,599 --> 00:25:09,279 really cool, but there's these other things that live in 357 00:25:09,319 --> 00:25:13,920 the woods. They're crazy, Like, we gotta study these things. 358 00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:16,920 We gotta, we gotta exactly, we gotta put we gotta, 359 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,759 we got to really study these things. How do we 360 00:25:19,799 --> 00:25:23,319 do it? Well, let's put our drones out and and 361 00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:27,119 have and just follow them around in the woods. I 362 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,759 mean that sperience. That makes sense to me. If you 363 00:25:32,319 --> 00:25:38,519 if you can go along with extraterrestrials, uh being being 364 00:25:38,799 --> 00:25:43,640 you know, if you believe that they we're visited or 365 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,599 they're already here or whatever. You know. 366 00:25:45,839 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot a lot going on that 367 00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:52,920 we can't see. Uh, it's super evident, and as science 368 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:59,000 progresses we kind of figure out more of what's going on. Perhaps, Yeah, 369 00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:02,880 it's just it's so weird as all get out. But Peter, 370 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,079 thank you so much for coming up and absolutely the 371 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,839 weirdness you've experienced in your stories out in Washington State. 372 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:10,759 I do appreciate it. 373 00:26:10,799 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 3: Man. 374 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you very much for having me on. I 375 00:26:13,519 --> 00:26:14,119 appreciate it. 376 00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: You got it. 377 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,799 Speaker 3: Hi, good morning. Let's see. I have a story from 378 00:26:25,519 --> 00:26:30,480 back in nineteen eighty nine. I was very I was young. 379 00:26:30,519 --> 00:26:32,559 I was I think I was maybe seventeen years old, 380 00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:36,039 and I was with a friend. I live on the 381 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,200 I grew up on the East Coast, but I met 382 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:45,119 a gal on a backpacking trip who lived on the 383 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,000 West coast in California, and together when we were seventeen, 384 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:57,279 we drove up from California up into Oregon to just 385 00:26:57,279 --> 00:26:59,960 to go on a road trip and you know, see 386 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:06,240 the country. And so this one night we had gone 387 00:27:06,279 --> 00:27:09,759 to Crater Lake during the day to visit Crater Lake, 388 00:27:10,079 --> 00:27:12,279 and then we left. I can't remember what time of 389 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,720 day we left Crater Lake, but it would have been 390 00:27:14,759 --> 00:27:19,000 toward the end of the day before dark, and we 391 00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:24,079 were driving. We drove north of there, and we were 392 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,720 somewhere in Oregon, north of Crater Lake, and I know 393 00:27:28,519 --> 00:27:30,960 at one point, we're going to east because we'd been 394 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,599 driving for a while and I could see the full 395 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,480 moon was rising up between two big kind of like 396 00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:42,279 pine trees in the road dead ahead of us. Shortly 397 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,960 after that, we stopped at a campground because we wanted to, 398 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,359 you know, camp out for the night, and there was 399 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,200 nobody in that campground. And as I recall, it was 400 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,960 like a state camp type of campground, you know where 401 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,599 you leave your money in the little box in the front. 402 00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:02,680 There was nobody in that campground, and that kind of 403 00:28:03,079 --> 00:28:05,640 creeped us out a little bit, so we decided to 404 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:11,039 continue on. We drove for maybe another fifteen to twenty minutes, 405 00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:16,400 maybe less, not sure, got to another campground and we 406 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,400 were heading east and we were taking lefts into these campgrounds. 407 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,200 I do remember that anyway. We got into this campground, 408 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,079 we drove way down into the back. There was one 409 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,759 person there at the beginning. It might have been like 410 00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:30,480 the camp host. I'm not sure, but there was one 411 00:28:30,519 --> 00:28:32,960 car in the very beginning. We drove way down into 412 00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:35,880 the back, and I remember we were like there were 413 00:28:36,039 --> 00:28:40,160 there was like where we decided to camp. It was 414 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:45,000 like little camping spots that you picked and I remember 415 00:28:45,039 --> 00:28:47,279 there was. It was wooded and like kind of like 416 00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:50,880 it went up a hill in front of us. Anyway, 417 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,839 we threw down our tarp. We didn't have a tent 418 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,799 or anything. We just threw our sleeping bags down on 419 00:28:57,839 --> 00:29:00,680 a tarp, and we were awake, like writing in our 420 00:29:00,759 --> 00:29:05,599 journals and chatting for a little bit, and then we 421 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,920 decided to go sleep, turned off the flashlight, and it 422 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,440 was not long after that when suddenly something just came 423 00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:21,079 stomping through the campground. Came from the left, like it 424 00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:23,880 was walking along the tree line, and like when a 425 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,359 when I say stomping, it was so obviously on two feet, 426 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:33,720 heavy footed, you know, caden like rhythmic stomp, stomp, stomp, 427 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,400 you know, it was so obvious that it was on 428 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:44,640 two feet, so loud and heavy footed. Came along and stopped. 429 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,680 I think maybe no more than twenty feet away. 430 00:29:48,839 --> 00:29:49,519 Speaker 2: If that. 431 00:29:51,759 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 3: It was must have been pretty heavily wooded in there. 432 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,240 Because I could not see what this was, and I 433 00:29:58,359 --> 00:30:00,799 wanted so badly to turn on my flash and see 434 00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:03,160 what it was, but I was no way was I 435 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,400 going to do that. I was just kind of terrified 436 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:14,160 and just frozen. I didn't want to move, so previous 437 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,200 to that, I was whenever I tell friends or family 438 00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:20,079 the story, I forget the part before we turned off 439 00:30:20,119 --> 00:30:22,759 the flashlight and went to sleep, we had heard what 440 00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:28,279 I described at the time as howling coming from that 441 00:30:28,319 --> 00:30:32,799 wooded area. And two, I don't know what that sound 442 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:39,880 sounded like, unfortunately, because but I do know that specifically 443 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,960 used the word howling. And we just thought it was like, 444 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,359 I don't know, maybe some coyotes in there. It did 445 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:51,240 not scare us. So but then after this thing came up, 446 00:30:51,319 --> 00:30:54,839 it came up, it stopped, like I said, like maybe 447 00:30:54,839 --> 00:30:59,440 twenty feet away. I'm frozen, not wanting to move. I 448 00:30:59,519 --> 00:31:02,359 was like laying, they're kind of like frozen, terrified. It 449 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,680 did not stomp away. It stood there. It was stood there. 450 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,799 It walked up, It stood there about twenty feet away. 451 00:31:09,279 --> 00:31:11,839 I don't know, maybe for twenty seconds, that's kind of 452 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,880 a guess. But it stood there for a few moments, 453 00:31:14,519 --> 00:31:18,480 and then I could hear that thing creeping away up 454 00:31:18,519 --> 00:31:22,440 through those trees as if it was tiptoeing. So all 455 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,160 I could hear was little twigs breaking as it was retreating, 456 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,680 and it blew my mind. I'm like, this thing just 457 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,160 stomped up, and now it is just making the quietest 458 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,440 little sound as it retreats, as if it knew that 459 00:31:36,519 --> 00:31:40,519 I was aware of it and wanted to wanted to 460 00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:45,920 leave very very quietly. So at that point I whispered 461 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,079 to my friend when I felt like I had like 462 00:31:48,599 --> 00:31:51,519 retreated a bit, I whispered to my friend. I said, 463 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,680 did you hear that? And she's like, huh. She had 464 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,440 been sleeping through it, and she woke up and she said, no, 465 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,519 I didn't hear anything. And I told her what I happened, 466 00:32:01,359 --> 00:32:04,720 And I said, something just stopped through our campground. And 467 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:10,119 suddenly we hear the howling again, and this time it's closer, 468 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:15,039 much closer, and there were multiple howls, like one and 469 00:32:15,079 --> 00:32:19,359 then another and then another. And at that point we 470 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,240 both said, okay, let's get out of here, and we 471 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,079 counted to three and we high tailed it out of there, 472 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,960 in like pure terror at every moment, any moment, thinking 473 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000 this thing was going to jump out. I mean we 474 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,200 were grabbing, like just grabbed everything and one fell swoop 475 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,319 and just stuffing it into the jeep and like I'm climbing, 476 00:32:39,359 --> 00:32:41,960 like we're literally leaving the campground with me, like in 477 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,359 the passenger seat on top of all of our stuff 478 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,759 because there was no time. We were so scared to 479 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,799 like properly, you know, get our stuff packed in there. 480 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,480 So it was pretty hilarious and scary, really scary at 481 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,640 the same time. So we left there and it was just, 482 00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:04,839 I will say, the night just felt like otherworldly. She 483 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:09,319 was driving. We just kept heading west toward Idaho, I'm sorry, 484 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:15,240 east toward Idaho, and it was just just the night 485 00:33:15,359 --> 00:33:20,240 just felt so magical. And we weren't even speaking. We 486 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,319 didn't even really talk about it. I was just in 487 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,039 shock at what had just happened. And I did think 488 00:33:26,039 --> 00:33:28,480 of Bigfoot. Now I'm looking up at the sky. There's 489 00:33:28,599 --> 00:33:32,240 like this this moon and these the clouds were just 490 00:33:32,279 --> 00:33:36,279 forming all these shapes, and I'm up, I'm looking at 491 00:33:36,319 --> 00:33:40,200 the clouds. They're forming the shape of a Native American 492 00:33:40,319 --> 00:33:44,359 chief's head. They're forming one was literally a Bigfoot in 493 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,279 the sky was formed in the cloud. I know that 494 00:33:47,319 --> 00:33:51,079 all sounds really weird, but this happened and all my 495 00:33:51,079 --> 00:33:54,319 girlfriends said, my friend, she would like, we're dead silent, 496 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,200 not even talking, and she just kind of like leaned 497 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,960 forward and looked up toward the sky and said, whoa, 498 00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:02,880 there are some really you know, like crazy things up 499 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,200 in the sky right now, and I don't And that 500 00:34:05,359 --> 00:34:07,960 was it. We didn't even speak. We were just both 501 00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:13,280 kind of just kind of I don't know, like just 502 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,800 in shock and in this weird, kind of otherworldly place 503 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,599 and I don't know how else to describe it. That's it. 504 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,800 And yeah, that's it.

Appreciate that, Priscilla. 531 00:36:16,599 --> 00:36:18,920 Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something 532 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,159 directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're 533 00:36:22,199 --> 00:36:25,960 in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've 534 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,840 seen something that no one can explain, or if you're 535 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,119 a National park ranger or forestry worker who's been told 536 00:36:32,159 --> 00:36:35,559 to stay quiet, if you're a pilot who's seen something 537 00:36:35,639 --> 00:36:38,639 strange down on the ground, or if you're with the 538 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,599 FBI a federal agency or working intelligence and you stumbled 539 00:36:42,639 --> 00:36:45,480 upon something you're not allowed to talk about.
