Speaker 2: the untold stories, sightings, and conspiracy theories surrounding one of
Speaker 2: the world's greatest mysteries. This episode, we've got a story
Speaker 2: straight from one of our listeners who called in on
Speaker 2: our squatch line at eight seven eight squatch that's eight
Speaker 2: seven eight seven seven eight two eight twenty four. If
Speaker 2: you've got a story to share, don't hesitate to give
Speaker 2: us a call. Now let's hear what they had to
Speaker 2: say about their close encounter with the unknown.
Speaker 3: I'm from Louisiana and I have seen your post on
Speaker 3: Facebook and I just one of you asking about the
Speaker 3: folks who had encounters with big Foot and creatures such
Speaker 3: as and I just wanted to share my story with you.
Speaker 3: I finally came out with it. This has happened back
Speaker 3: in nineteen seventy five when I was in the military
Speaker 3: stationed at Fort Polkozi, and I had a girlfriend that
Speaker 3: lived on a farm outside of Camden, Arkansas. It's about
Speaker 3: a four and a half hour drive from the post
Speaker 3: to her farm, and so I go out there. I
Speaker 3: was nineteen year old. I was a nineteen year old
Speaker 3: soldier back then. Now I'm sixty seven. But anyway, we
Speaker 3: spent I was there for the weekends. I go up
Speaker 3: there on weekends help her dad go ahead and work
Speaker 3: on built dance and tend to the cattle, and so
Speaker 3: I just I love that kind of thing. Their farm
Speaker 3: was secluded way out there, about ten maybe fifteen miles
Speaker 3: outside of Camden, going towards the Fouc area. It's kind
Speaker 3: of maybe about thirty five miles from South Arkansas. And anyway,
Speaker 3: this one particular Friday night was there. We just finished
Speaker 3: upon her grain cook. She was an amazing cook, and
Speaker 3: we sat down and then and we just sat there
Speaker 3: humping down watching TV about nine thirty that night, and
Speaker 3: all of a sudden her raining screened. We jumped up,
Speaker 3: ran down the hallway and it was an old wooden,
Speaker 3: old farmhouse, probably about one hundred years old or better.
Speaker 3: And when you walked here to quit and creaked and
Speaker 3: everything else, you know my old wooden farm houses are.
Speaker 3: And I was the first worn down the hallway to
Speaker 3: the kitchen and where her raining was, and I almost
Speaker 3: kind of flip over her. She was sitting on her
Speaker 3: hind then on the floor in the kitchen, point at
Speaker 3: the kitchen window over the saint and screaming. I seen
Speaker 3: him again. I seen him again, And I had no
Speaker 3: clue what she was talking about. I assumed he was
Speaker 3: some kind of intruder trying to break in. So her
Speaker 3: family evidently knew what it was because they'd been around
Speaker 3: there a few times before. Of course, no one let
Speaker 3: me you know it. Her dad just said, ar'm up.
Speaker 3: We did. We got weapons off the racks in the
Speaker 3: hallway and we ran out the back door and get
Speaker 3: out there for the pasture. And it's a couple of
Speaker 3: miles from the next house, I mean, the next bottom over,
Speaker 3: so it's way out in the middle of nowhere. My
Speaker 3: girlfriend and her mama stayed inside tend to granny because
Speaker 3: she was pretty shook up, and we went out back.
Speaker 3: Her brothers went to the right and me and her
Speaker 3: daddy went to the left, And it was a very bright,
Speaker 3: bright moon that night. I remember it like it was yesterday,
Speaker 3: and you had a traumatic experience. You remember these kind
Speaker 3: of things and just embedded in your mind fifty years later.
Speaker 3: And I'm retired from law enforcement, so I know how
Speaker 3: that works when we questioned people about things from the past.
Speaker 3: But in any case, as we were coming off the
Speaker 3: porch where her brothers put to the right and we
Speaker 3: went to the left, I noticed the cattle. I can
Speaker 3: see him across the pasture. Like I said, very bright
Speaker 3: bright moon, so like almost like daylight outside, and they
Speaker 3: were all honking up across the pasture. They were cutting up,
Speaker 3: which was a pretty much big sign that there was
Speaker 3: some kind of a predator out there. Could have been
Speaker 3: a coyote, could have been a bobcat, didn't know. Uh.
Speaker 3: What caught my attention though, pretty much was he had
Speaker 3: three trained Blue Jicks hunting dogs, foll grown. They were
Speaker 3: under the porch whiny, and that caught my attention because
Speaker 3: if they had been an intruder. They'd been out there
Speaker 3: cutting up to the woods, chasing him down there under
Speaker 3: the porch winy that you don't see that with blue chicks,
Speaker 3: and so I was. That really got me thinking, what
Speaker 3: will we after here? Because it's a whole lot dinner
Speaker 3: and that than some intruders. So if I asked our daddy,
Speaker 3: I said, hey, look, I said, we're about the dogs.
Speaker 3: He said, don't worry about dogs. To spollow me and
Speaker 3: still close behind. So I'm thinking, what in the world
Speaker 3: we know we're going after? We caught a stanch, it
Speaker 3: was pretty strong, some kind of something dead, and then
Speaker 3: we got to clip out fire foot from the corner post.
Speaker 3: We had just built this thing that's a couple of
Speaker 3: months earlier, and it was a dividing fence. We divided
Speaker 3: the pasture from fifty acre swamp because of their farm
Speaker 3: was about two hundred and fifty acre and the swamp
Speaker 3: was pretty boggy. He didn't want his cattle getting into it.
Speaker 3: So we built that fence at a four foot cattle
Speaker 3: panel out a stretch of bob wire over about five
Speaker 3: foot high, and we approached that corner post right there
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, we jumped something. I mean
Speaker 3: in a thicket right there, and that's in that swamp
Speaker 3: side of the fence. We jumped something. It was pressing
Speaker 3: and turning and burning inside. There were just busting limbs
Speaker 3: and everything. It's not like a two thousand pounds rhino,
Speaker 3: best way I can describe it. And then all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, at this point right here's where my whole
Speaker 3: world changed. And even here at sixty seven years old,
Speaker 3: now only forty eight years later, he gives me chills.
Speaker 3: He's been talking about this. This thing jumped over the
Speaker 3: fence or left it. And it wasn't twenty foot twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five foot I think we carried. We counted the
Speaker 3: next morning the twenty five foot from us, right there
Speaker 3: in that pasture. It squatted down. When it stood up,
Speaker 3: it was flank of us. When I say flank, we
Speaker 3: weren't looking at it. It was facing to the right
Speaker 3: of us. So we saw its profile. It stood up
Speaker 3: about eight foot at least eight foot tall, covered hair,
Speaker 3: very massive, very very strong, powerful built. The first thing
Speaker 3: I noticed was I can see its profile in the moonlight.
Speaker 3: It was a man's profile. It was not a bear,
Speaker 3: because the bear has a snout. This had no snout.
Speaker 3: It had a man's profile and long arms. Its hands
Speaker 3: came almost down to its knees. Big massive arms, big hands,
Speaker 3: long fingers. I mean, just it was no bear, because
Speaker 3: bears don't have fingers. But its shoulders were very broad.
Speaker 3: That's another different depicttion of a bear. Because the bear
Speaker 3: had slow fielders. This thing had broad shoulders, broad mastered fielders.
Speaker 3: And then, of course this all happened in a matter
Speaker 3: of about twenty seconds. So I'm slowing it down to
Speaker 3: give you the basic detail so you can understand what
Speaker 3: we were looking at. Yet then it ran from us,
Speaker 3: didn't try to attack us, didn't try to aggress us.
Speaker 3: It ran from us. And I was on with the
Speaker 3: twelve gades and the daddy had four or ten. He
Speaker 3: was scared than I was, and it ran away from us. Now,
Speaker 3: if it came towards us, i'd unloaded that twelve gage.
Speaker 3: We loaded unloaded again being a soldier. But it ran
Speaker 3: from us, so opposed no threat. Evidently it was scared
Speaker 3: of us as we were scared of it. And when
Speaker 3: it ran across that pastor, it's about one hundred yard pastor,
Speaker 3: it ran like a crack star. And when I say that,
Speaker 3: I mean it ran like a man, not like a bear.
Speaker 3: Bear can't run on two legs, has to follow it
Speaker 3: all four. It can walk on or two legs of
Speaker 3: a man, but it can't run. The structure won't allow
Speaker 3: it to haskall all four. Because I've seen many bears
Speaker 3: and this thing it ran like a track star across
Speaker 3: that pasture one hundred yards crash to the cattle gate.
Speaker 3: And we had built that cattle gate had them two
Speaker 3: by six oak. If you're learning about oak, oak is
Speaker 3: very powerful, very strong. But it shattered those eight two
Speaker 3: by six oak boards shattered him. So that pretty much
Speaker 3: cleared of the fact of being a man in a suit.
Speaker 3: There's no man that's going to run through two by
Speaker 3: six oak boards new and go ahead and shatter him
Speaker 3: like that. I mean, you'd have to have a D
Speaker 3: nine doz or do something like that. And then any case,
Speaker 3: So it's a crash to that cattlegy. It's hard. It roared,
Speaker 3: and it was a roar I never heard before in
Speaker 3: my life. Jamie Kills by the time, here come her
Speaker 3: brothers around to the side, and they said, y'all hear that.
Speaker 3: I said, here we just see it. They said, you've
Speaker 3: seen it? What you see? I said, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know what to call it. I ain't believe
Speaker 3: in bigfoot. Back man. This is back in seventy five,
Speaker 3: so it wasn't talked about a whole lot back then.
Speaker 3: A few people had seen him. But I said, I
Speaker 3: don't know what I just seen. I just know it
Speaker 3: was not a bear, it wasn't a man. It was
Speaker 3: it was something that I didn't I couldn't relate to.
Speaker 3: My mind was burning. Anyway, Her daddy was very shook up.
Speaker 3: He was almost crying, and he said, I don't know
Speaker 3: what you do. He comes around here every once in
Speaker 3: a while. He says, I don't know how to protect
Speaker 3: my family, what to do. And so anyway, he sat there.
Speaker 3: Rennan was running. We heard to racing. We calmed down,
Speaker 3: calmed down, and finally I went hit and got her
Speaker 3: college brother. He was six foot four. I said, look
Speaker 3: for you know this kind of size comparison and kind
Speaker 3: of go ahead and get us a relatively what this
Speaker 3: say he is and how tall it was? I said,
Speaker 3: need you to stand therender the kitchen winning now and
Speaker 3: the house is on pilots because it was thought far
Speaker 3: from the river, so evidently had flood out every once
Speaker 3: in a while. So the house was jacked up on pilots.
Speaker 3: So he was six foot four, raised his hand up
Speaker 3: as high as he could finger tips, probably hitting about
Speaker 3: seven foot maybe seven foot three inches, something like that,
Speaker 3: and he can barely touch the bottom rim of that
Speaker 3: kitchen winter, which put in perspective that hadn't been at
Speaker 3: least eight foot taller tower to look in at, granting
Speaker 3: him that winter. So at that point in time, we
Speaker 3: went ahead and then we went in the house. Granny
Speaker 3: was calmed down by the end we got inside there
Speaker 3: and we were still shook up, but tolmed down. And
Speaker 3: I asked Granny. I said, look, man, I said, we had.
Speaker 3: We did not see its space, we saw its profile.
Speaker 3: It was blank of us. But you've seen his face
Speaker 3: looking in the windows. He says, yes, I have a
Speaker 3: few different times. And this is a seventy year old woman,
Speaker 3: and I mean strong Pentecostal now, I mean just you know,
Speaker 3: bury forward, very nice, very sweet. But she said, yes,
Speaker 3: I've seen this space a few times looking in the window.
Speaker 3: And I said, if we didn't mind describing at to me,
Speaker 3: She said, sir, it was like a huge man's face,
Speaker 3: but it was no man, had very rough skin, had
Speaker 3: hair around its space, but not on its space, so
Speaker 3: that makes sense. And I had huge, big, red glowing eyes,
Speaker 3: and of course to her being a Pentecostal and stuff
Speaker 3: like that, her belief and everything, rating it to a
Speaker 3: demon or devil. But she said it never tried to
Speaker 3: break in the house. She said she didn't send any
Speaker 3: evil off it. Even though I had red eyes, it
Speaker 3: didn't seem like it was evil or wanting to attack
Speaker 3: her or wanted to break in the house. And it
Speaker 3: never destroyed anything in that property except for that night
Speaker 3: breaking to that cattle game. So I guess because he
Speaker 3: did that because the fact we shocked as much as
Speaker 3: it shocked good. So we set up at night drinking coffee.
Speaker 3: No one slept, everyone want was too shook up. Morning,
Speaker 3: we just went out there and pulled the reconn and
Speaker 3: went back to the point of origin with a jumped
Speaker 3: the fence originally from the swamp into the pasture, found
Speaker 3: the prince, and we measured them on. My feet are
Speaker 3: ten inches my shoes and I can put pretty much
Speaker 3: heel to heel to toe in one print. My toe
Speaker 3: is hanging over. So we've pretty much figured calculated about
Speaker 3: seventeen inches. Those prints were so pretty big across the pasture,
Speaker 3: went to the course where it crashed to the cattle gate.
Speaker 3: We didn't find any hair on the original bob wire
Speaker 3: where he jumped the fence. We cleared that five foot fence,
Speaker 3: the candle gate, we found blood and hair. And now,
Speaker 3: of course this is back in seventy five, long before computers,
Speaker 3: long before cell phones was out. No one had a camera.
Speaker 3: We didn't have you know, camera phones and such, and
Speaker 3: we had no phones at all, so as far as
Speaker 3: you know, cells go. But in any case, so I
Speaker 3: wish we had thought about grabbing some hair whatever, you know,
Speaker 3: thinking twenty years in their future, but you know whatever,
Speaker 3: But we didn't. But in any case, we noticed as
Speaker 3: you looked at it, examined everything with that cattle gate
Speaker 3: was crushed flatter, just split the cattlegate pieces, shattered it.
Speaker 3: The force of that thing going through there pulled the
Speaker 3: corner post over. Corner post is made of a cut
Speaker 3: down telephone pole that's something about five foot deep in
Speaker 3: the ground. It didn't break it, but it pulled it
Speaker 3: over and laid it down to do that requires a
Speaker 3: tremendous amount of force. Tremendous amount of force, and also
Speaker 3: about twenty foot the other side of the cattle gate
Speaker 3: with a squeeze chute. Squeeze shote basically is basically where
Speaker 3: you put your cattle runs in through there, squeeze them down,
Speaker 3: hold them in place so you can tag them or
Speaker 3: clip their horns, what have you. It meant that all
Speaker 3: up again, tremendous amount of force. They didn't want to
Speaker 3: contact law enforcement. They didn't want to contact any anyone
Speaker 3: to do with game more than the stuff. They didn't
Speaker 3: want the word getting out because they did a lot
Speaker 3: of all their their vegetables. For stuff they grew, they
Speaker 3: went ahead and sold over in town. Camden at the
Speaker 3: time was a very small town back then, so they
Speaker 3: didn't want the word getting out. People took their crazy,
Speaker 3: so they didn't want to ruin their reputation, so they
Speaker 3: they didn't want it talked about. So I kept them,
Speaker 3: you know, closed up, wouldn't talk about it, and I didn't.
Speaker 3: I came out of military eighty one, settled here in Louisiana,
Speaker 3: and I went ahead and.
Speaker 1: To mine.
Speaker 3: I went to work law enforcement. Retired about three years
Speaker 3: ago from law enforcement. I never talked about it anybody
Speaker 3: until only my wife's uncle. He said he's seeing one
Speaker 3: out here. He didn't want to talk about it much,
Speaker 3: so I didn't tell my story for the first time
Speaker 3: for some years. And he was the first one I
Speaker 3: told and couraged him to tell his story, and he
Speaker 3: told him. He said, I'm not crazy. Then I said, no, sir,
Speaker 3: you're not crazy. I promise you's not crazy.
