Now let's hear what they had to 18 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.040 say about their close encounter with the unknown. 19 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:40.719 I'm from Louisiana and I have seen your post on 20 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:46.200 Facebook and I just one of you asking about the 21 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.959 folks who had encounters with big Foot and creatures such 22 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.280 as and I just wanted to share my story with you. 23 00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:56.719 I finally came out with it. This has happened back 24 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.159 in nineteen seventy five when I was in the military 25 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:07.159 stationed at Fort Polkozi, and I had a girlfriend that 26 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.400 lived on a farm outside of Camden, Arkansas. It's about 27 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.120 a four and a half hour drive from the post 28 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:18.280 to her farm, and so I go out there. I 29 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.280 was nineteen year old. I was a nineteen year old 30 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:27.599 soldier back then. Now I'm sixty seven. But anyway, we 31 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:29.840 spent I was there for the weekends. I go up 32 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.280 there on weekends help her dad go ahead and work 33 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.039 on built dance and tend to the cattle, and so 34 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.360 I just I love that kind of thing. Their farm 35 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.199 was secluded way out there, about ten maybe fifteen miles 36 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:44.520 outside of Camden, going towards the Fouc area. It's kind 37 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:49.840 of maybe about thirty five miles from South Arkansas. And anyway, 38 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.439 this one particular Friday night was there. We just finished 39 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.639 upon her grain cook. She was an amazing cook, and 40 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:01.120 we sat down and then and we just sat there 41 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:06.479 humping down watching TV about nine thirty that night, and 42 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.919 all of a sudden her raining screened. We jumped up, 43 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:11.479 ran down the hallway and it was an old wooden, 44 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.400 old farmhouse, probably about one hundred years old or better. 45 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.719 And when you walked here to quit and creaked and 46 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.360 everything else, you know my old wooden farm houses are. 47 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.639 And I was the first worn down the hallway to 48 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.199 the kitchen and where her raining was, and I almost 49 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:29.960 kind of flip over her. She was sitting on her 50 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.479 hind then on the floor in the kitchen, point at 51 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.120 the kitchen window over the saint and screaming. I seen 52 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.199 him again. I seen him again, And I had no 53 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:41.840 clue what she was talking about. I assumed he was 54 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.680 some kind of intruder trying to break in. So her 55 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.120 family evidently knew what it was because they'd been around 56 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.840 there a few times before. Of course, no one let 57 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.439 me you know it. Her dad just said, ar'm up. 58 00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.319 We did. We got weapons off the racks in the 59 00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:01.000 hallway and we ran out the back door and get 60 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.240 out there for the pasture. And it's a couple of 61 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.840 miles from the next house, I mean, the next bottom over, 62 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.680 so it's way out in the middle of nowhere. My 63 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.639 girlfriend and her mama stayed inside tend to granny because 64 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:18.079 she was pretty shook up, and we went out back. 65 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:19.759 Her brothers went to the right and me and her 66 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.839 daddy went to the left, And it was a very bright, 67 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.800 bright moon that night. I remember it like it was yesterday, 68 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.040 and you had a traumatic experience. You remember these kind 69 00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.759 of things and just embedded in your mind fifty years later. 70 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:36.199 And I'm retired from law enforcement, so I know how 71 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:40.680 that works when we questioned people about things from the past. 72 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:45.920 But in any case, as we were coming off the 73 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.040 porch where her brothers put to the right and we 74 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.920 went to the left, I noticed the cattle. I can 75 00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.720 see him across the pasture. Like I said, very bright 76 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:57.839 bright moon, so like almost like daylight outside, and they 77 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.720 were all honking up across the pasture. They were cutting up, 78 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:02.600 which was a pretty much big sign that there was 79 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.319 some kind of a predator out there. Could have been 80 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:09.199 a coyote, could have been a bobcat, didn't know. Uh. 81 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.879 What caught my attention though, pretty much was he had 82 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:16.279 three trained Blue Jicks hunting dogs, foll grown. They were 83 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:20.279 under the porch whiny, and that caught my attention because 84 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.759 if they had been an intruder. They'd been out there 85 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.800 cutting up to the woods, chasing him down there under 86 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.199 the porch winy that you don't see that with blue chicks, 87 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.199 and so I was. That really got me thinking, what 88 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.920 will we after here? Because it's a whole lot dinner 89 00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.600 and that than some intruders. So if I asked our daddy, 90 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.959 I said, hey, look, I said, we're about the dogs. 91 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:43.759 He said, don't worry about dogs. To spollow me and 92 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:48.839 still close behind. So I'm thinking, what in the world 93 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.120 we know we're going after? We caught a stanch, it 94 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:56.680 was pretty strong, some kind of something dead, and then 95 00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.839 we got to clip out fire foot from the corner post. 96 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.079 We had just built this thing that's a couple of 97 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:05.120 months earlier, and it was a dividing fence. We divided 98 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.199 the pasture from fifty acre swamp because of their farm 99 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.120 was about two hundred and fifty acre and the swamp 100 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.759 was pretty boggy. He didn't want his cattle getting into it. 101 00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.399 So we built that fence at a four foot cattle 102 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:18.959 panel out a stretch of bob wire over about five 103 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.040 foot high, and we approached that corner post right there 104 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.000 and all of a sudden, we jumped something. I mean 105 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.240 in a thicket right there, and that's in that swamp 106 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:32.439 side of the fence. We jumped something. It was pressing 107 00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.439 and turning and burning inside. There were just busting limbs 108 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.600 and everything. It's not like a two thousand pounds rhino, 109 00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:41.560 best way I can describe it. And then all of 110 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:45.480 a sudden, at this point right here's where my whole 111 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.360 world changed. And even here at sixty seven years old, 112 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.360 now only forty eight years later, he gives me chills. 113 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.879 He's been talking about this. This thing jumped over the 114 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.199 fence or left it. And it wasn't twenty foot twenty 115 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:04.160 twenty five foot I think we carried. We counted the 116 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.360 next morning the twenty five foot from us, right there 117 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.720 in that pasture. It squatted down. When it stood up, 118 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:14.920 it was flank of us. When I say flank, we 119 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.079 weren't looking at it. It was facing to the right 120 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.279 of us. So we saw its profile. It stood up 121 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:25.000 about eight foot at least eight foot tall, covered hair, 122 00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:30.560 very massive, very very strong, powerful built. The first thing 123 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.120 I noticed was I can see its profile in the moonlight. 124 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.519 It was a man's profile. It was not a bear, 125 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.560 because the bear has a snout. This had no snout. 126 00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:45.079 It had a man's profile and long arms. Its hands 127 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:50.360 came almost down to its knees. Big massive arms, big hands, 128 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.160 long fingers. I mean, just it was no bear, because 129 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.560 bears don't have fingers. But its shoulders were very broad. 130 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.879 That's another different depicttion of a bear. Because the bear 131 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:07.399 had slow fielders. This thing had broad shoulders, broad mastered fielders. 132 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.040 And then, of course this all happened in a matter 133 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.879 of about twenty seconds. So I'm slowing it down to 134 00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.319 give you the basic detail so you can understand what 135 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.720 we were looking at. Yet then it ran from us, 136 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.279 didn't try to attack us, didn't try to aggress us. 137 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:25.439 It ran from us. And I was on with the 138 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:29.519 twelve gades and the daddy had four or ten. He 139 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:35.039 was scared than I was, and it ran away from us. Now, 140 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.440 if it came towards us, i'd unloaded that twelve gage. 141 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:42.559 We loaded unloaded again being a soldier. But it ran 142 00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:46.679 from us, so opposed no threat. Evidently it was scared 143 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.039 of us as we were scared of it. And when 144 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.679 it ran across that pastor, it's about one hundred yard pastor, 145 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.120 it ran like a crack star. And when I say that, 146 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.000 I mean it ran like a man, not like a bear. 147 00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.559 Bear can't run on two legs, has to follow it 148 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.559 all four. It can walk on or two legs of 149 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:04.360 a man, but it can't run. The structure won't allow 150 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.600 it to haskall all four. Because I've seen many bears 151 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.960 and this thing it ran like a track star across 152 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.080 that pasture one hundred yards crash to the cattle gate. 153 00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.440 And we had built that cattle gate had them two 154 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.440 by six oak. If you're learning about oak, oak is 155 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.279 very powerful, very strong. But it shattered those eight two 156 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:28.440 by six oak boards shattered him. So that pretty much 157 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.320 cleared of the fact of being a man in a suit. 158 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.279 There's no man that's going to run through two by 159 00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.639 six oak boards new and go ahead and shatter him 160 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:38.919 like that. I mean, you'd have to have a D 161 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:44.240 nine doz or do something like that. And then any case, 162 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:48.919 So it's a crash to that cattlegy. It's hard. It roared, 163 00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:51.120 and it was a roar I never heard before in 164 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:54.960 my life. Jamie Kills by the time, here come her 165 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.200 brothers around to the side, and they said, y'all hear that. 166 00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.600 I said, here we just see it. They said, you've 167 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.120 seen it? What you see? I said, I don't know. 168 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.799 I don't know what to call it. I ain't believe 169 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:08.120 in bigfoot. Back man. This is back in seventy five, 170 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:10.440 so it wasn't talked about a whole lot back then. 171 00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:14.960 A few people had seen him. But I said, I 172 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:18.440 don't know what I just seen. I just know it 173 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.120 was not a bear, it wasn't a man. It was 174 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.120 it was something that I didn't I couldn't relate to. 175 00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:28.320 My mind was burning. Anyway, Her daddy was very shook up. 176 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.960 He was almost crying, and he said, I don't know 177 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.159 what you do. He comes around here every once in 178 00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:37.360 a while. He says, I don't know how to protect 179 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:42.639 my family, what to do. And so anyway, he sat there. 180 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:47.679 Rennan was running. We heard to racing. We calmed down, 181 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:51.519 calmed down, and finally I went hit and got her 182 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.240 college brother. He was six foot four. I said, look 183 00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:57.480 for you know this kind of size comparison and kind 184 00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:59.759 of go ahead and get us a relatively what this 185 00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:02.279 say he is and how tall it was? I said, 186 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:05.159 need you to stand therender the kitchen winning now and 187 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.759 the house is on pilots because it was thought far 188 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:09.759 from the river, so evidently had flood out every once 189 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.120 in a while. So the house was jacked up on pilots. 190 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.840 So he was six foot four, raised his hand up 191 00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:17.360 as high as he could finger tips, probably hitting about 192 00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:21.799 seven foot maybe seven foot three inches, something like that, 193 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:25.919 and he can barely touch the bottom rim of that 194 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.840 kitchen winter, which put in perspective that hadn't been at 195 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.600 least eight foot taller tower to look in at, granting 196 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.519 him that winter. So at that point in time, we 197 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:36.679 went ahead and then we went in the house. Granny 198 00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:38.840 was calmed down by the end we got inside there 199 00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:42.600 and we were still shook up, but tolmed down. And 200 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:44.639 I asked Granny. I said, look, man, I said, we had. 201 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.080 We did not see its space, we saw its profile. 202 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.559 It was blank of us. But you've seen his face 203 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.320 looking in the windows. He says, yes, I have a 204 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.519 few different times. And this is a seventy year old woman, 205 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:59.840 and I mean strong Pentecostal now, I mean just you know, 206 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.799 bury forward, very nice, very sweet. But she said, yes, 207 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:06.840 I've seen this space a few times looking in the window. 208 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:08.960 And I said, if we didn't mind describing at to me, 209 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.200 She said, sir, it was like a huge man's face, 210 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.600 but it was no man, had very rough skin, had 211 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:17.679 hair around its space, but not on its space, so 212 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:21.879 that makes sense. And I had huge, big, red glowing eyes, 213 00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:26.200 and of course to her being a Pentecostal and stuff 214 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:29.000 like that, her belief and everything, rating it to a 215 00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.480 demon or devil. But she said it never tried to 216 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.440 break in the house. She said she didn't send any 217 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.879 evil off it. Even though I had red eyes, it 218 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.600 didn't seem like it was evil or wanting to attack 219 00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:42.960 her or wanted to break in the house. And it 220 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:45.720 never destroyed anything in that property except for that night 221 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.840 breaking to that cattle game. So I guess because he 222 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:52.960 did that because the fact we shocked as much as 223 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:57.399 it shocked good. So we set up at night drinking coffee. 224 00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.240 No one slept, everyone want was too shook up. Morning, 225 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:02.159 we just went out there and pulled the reconn and 226 00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:06.120 went back to the point of origin with a jumped 227 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:10.120 the fence originally from the swamp into the pasture, found 228 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:14.519 the prince, and we measured them on. My feet are 229 00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:18.120 ten inches my shoes and I can put pretty much 230 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.879 heel to heel to toe in one print. My toe 231 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.279 is hanging over. So we've pretty much figured calculated about 232 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:30.399 seventeen inches. Those prints were so pretty big across the pasture, 233 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.240 went to the course where it crashed to the cattle gate. 234 00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:36.879 We didn't find any hair on the original bob wire 235 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:39.399 where he jumped the fence. We cleared that five foot fence, 236 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.480 the candle gate, we found blood and hair. And now, 237 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.440 of course this is back in seventy five, long before computers, 238 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:49.320 long before cell phones was out. No one had a camera. 239 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:53.200 We didn't have you know, camera phones and such, and 240 00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.720 we had no phones at all, so as far as 241 00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:00.240 you know, cells go. But in any case, so I 242 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.440 wish we had thought about grabbing some hair whatever, you know, 243 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.559 thinking twenty years in their future, but you know whatever, 244 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:11.320 But we didn't. But in any case, we noticed as 245 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.519 you looked at it, examined everything with that cattle gate 246 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:19.879 was crushed flatter, just split the cattlegate pieces, shattered it. 247 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:21.879 The force of that thing going through there pulled the 248 00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:24.279 corner post over. Corner post is made of a cut 249 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.799 down telephone pole that's something about five foot deep in 250 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:30.320 the ground. It didn't break it, but it pulled it 251 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:34.039 over and laid it down to do that requires a 252 00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:39.279 tremendous amount of force. Tremendous amount of force, and also 253 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:42.879 about twenty foot the other side of the cattle gate 254 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:47.279 with a squeeze chute. Squeeze shote basically is basically where 255 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:49.960 you put your cattle runs in through there, squeeze them down, 256 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:51.720 hold them in place so you can tag them or 257 00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:54.879 clip their horns, what have you. It meant that all 258 00:14:55.000 --> 00:15:00.279 up again, tremendous amount of force. They didn't want to 259 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.399 contact law enforcement. They didn't want to contact any anyone 260 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:05.799 to do with game more than the stuff. They didn't 261 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:07.519 want the word getting out because they did a lot 262 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.399 of all their their vegetables. For stuff they grew, they 263 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:14.240 went ahead and sold over in town. Camden at the 264 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.799 time was a very small town back then, so they 265 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:18.919 didn't want the word getting out. People took their crazy, 266 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.000 so they didn't want to ruin their reputation, so they 267 00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:23.279 they didn't want it talked about. So I kept them, 268 00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:26.519 you know, closed up, wouldn't talk about it, and I didn't. 269 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:31.200 I came out of military eighty one, settled here in Louisiana, 270 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:32.440 and I went ahead and. 271 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:34.679 To mine. 272 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:37.840 I went to work law enforcement. Retired about three years 273 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:42.279 ago from law enforcement. I never talked about it anybody 274 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:46.279 until only my wife's uncle. He said he's seeing one 275 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:49.200 out here. He didn't want to talk about it much, 276 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:50.919 so I didn't tell my story for the first time 277 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:53.480 for some years. And he was the first one I 278 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:57.080 told and couraged him to tell his story, and he 279 00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:59.440 told him. He said, I'm not crazy. Then I said, no, sir, 280 00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:01.559 you're not crazy. I promise you's not crazy. 281 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:07.039 Thank you for listening to another episode of Bigfoot Classified. 282 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.000 We want to hear your stories.
