Speaker 1: How are you hey?
Speaker 3: Thanks Ryan, I'm excellent. Thank you for having me here.
Speaker 1: I have been looking forward to this conversation. We were
Speaker 1: just talking before we hit the button to go live here.
Speaker 1: We have so many friends in common. We run in
Speaker 1: the same circles, we talk to the same people, and
Speaker 1: do basically the same thing, but we've never met in
Speaker 1: person until right now. I am glad to have you.
Speaker 3: On the show.
Speaker 1: I've been looking forward to this, so let's get right
Speaker 1: into it. Let's talk about this bigfoot thing. What guy
Speaker 1: you interested in the subject of bigfoot encryptids in the
Speaker 1: first place.
Speaker 3: I had actually been really interested in bigfoot all my life.
Speaker 3: I had been really into the paranormal. When I was
Speaker 3: I was seeing ghosts. I used to always go outside
Speaker 3: and sit on my front lawn. I grew up on
Speaker 3: a farm mountain, Georgia in the middle of nowhere, and
Speaker 3: so we had this beautiful sky at night with all
Speaker 3: the stars, and I would take my little napman outside
Speaker 3: from kindergarten and I would go lay on it and
Speaker 3: look for UFOs at night. And so I always had
Speaker 3: this just affinity for everything that was weird, and I
Speaker 3: was into, like even looking into fortune tellers and stuff too. Okay,
Speaker 3: I was just a weird kid, but I guess growing
Speaker 3: up seeing the ghosts and stuff like that. I figured, well,
Speaker 3: if what I'm seeing and experiencing is real, why would
Speaker 3: Bigfoot not be real. I put that on the back burner.
Speaker 3: I wasn't ever doing anything with the paranormal aspect of life.
Speaker 3: I was a regular kid, you know, went to college
Speaker 3: and started working for the government during college. Guess when
Speaker 3: I was in the thirties. I don't ever give my
Speaker 3: age publicly, but people can guess. Around twenty eleven, I
Speaker 3: was just minding my own business. My mom was going
Speaker 3: to these weekly meetup meetings with her friends every Wednesday night.
Speaker 3: They would re in somebody that had a different specialty,
Speaker 3: like psychics, cryptid hunters, magicians, people that sold silver and gold,
Speaker 3: just variety stuff, and and my mom was like, Hey, Jessica,
Speaker 3: we've got some Bigfoot field researchers coming to mister Sam's house,
Speaker 3: and I think you would be really interested in this.
Speaker 3: Maybe you should come join me on Wednesday night. And
Speaker 3: I thought, Man, if anybody's gonna have proof of Bigfoot,
Speaker 3: probably be these guys. So I went, I'm going to
Speaker 3: tell you that is exactly how I got into the Bigfoot.
Speaker 3: Build was going to that meeting that night, and it
Speaker 3: was totally random, totally out of the blue. I wasn't
Speaker 3: expecting to ever be on a bigfoot research team. I
Speaker 3: wasn't even expecting to ever see a bigfoot. I didn't know.
Speaker 3: I just went to this meeting and I thought, man,
Speaker 3: let's go see what these guys have to say that
Speaker 3: It turned out to be some gentlemen from North Georgia.
Speaker 3: They had a really interesting approach to bigfoot. It wasn't
Speaker 3: just they're tracking bigfoot down and they're looking for tracks.
Speaker 3: It's a primate in the woods or something. That's what
Speaker 3: I was expecting when I got there. Their presentation turned
Speaker 3: out to be more of like a we know bigfoots real,
Speaker 3: we've been tracking them for decades, we know they're out there,
Speaker 3: we have a spot that we go to, we've been
Speaker 3: going for a long time. We're actually to the point
Speaker 3: of communicating with them at this point. And they said
Speaker 3: it's a more of a mind body spirit connection they
Speaker 3: were working on with the bigfoots. It was mind blowing,
Speaker 3: right because it wasn't like we're just searching for them
Speaker 3: and we haven't seen them, but we found some tracks.
Speaker 3: It was we have established it. They're out there and
Speaker 3: we're on to the next level. So it did help
Speaker 3: that those guys actually are I'll get into this in
Speaker 3: just a minute, but we were military guys. Most of
Speaker 3: them are retired. One of them actually did what you
Speaker 3: call remote viewing with the military at some point. That's
Speaker 3: going to play into the story here in just a minute.
Speaker 3: So I go to this meeting, I'm looking at all
Speaker 3: this wonderful evidence they have. They're showing the tracks, they're
Speaker 3: showing casts, they're going over all the basics if you
Speaker 3: were to go to like your normal library meeting where
Speaker 3: they have the meetups. I just did one of those
Speaker 3: down in Molino, Georgia, by the way, where we had
Speaker 3: the community that came in and we talked about our
Speaker 3: bigfoot research. So it's like that. But after it was over,
Speaker 3: I raised my hand because they asked if anybody had
Speaker 3: any questions, and I had a bunch of questions and said,
Speaker 3: why have y'all never found a body? Okay, now, why
Speaker 3: is there no poop? Where's the poop? And I was
Speaker 3: being serious because I was just very curious about it.
Speaker 3: And this, like I said, it was in twenty eleven.
Speaker 3: This was before people had bigfoot stickers on the back
Speaker 3: of their cars. This is before they had TV shows
Speaker 3: about bigfoot. This is before all that. It wasn't a
Speaker 3: popular subject and it wasn't widely accepted by a lot
Speaker 3: of people back then. To be a bigfoot field researcher.
Speaker 3: I really enjoyed this presentation. I really enjoyed them. I
Speaker 3: was asking questions. They had answers for just about everything.
Speaker 3: At least one of the guys had been to the
Speaker 3: body farm in Tennessee. Because we were talking about the
Speaker 3: decomposition of bodies and why the body's not been found.
Speaker 3: It was really interesting. They saw that I was really interested,
Speaker 3: so they actually invited me onto an expedition. I thought, Man,
Speaker 3: what better way to find out a big Foot's rill
Speaker 3: than to go in the woods with a bunch of
Speaker 3: strange dudes by myself. Go hang out with some strange men,
Speaker 3: Go chase a big old monkey in the woods. How
Speaker 3: you So, I was like, Yeah, put me on your
Speaker 3: email list, let me know when, where, what I need,
Speaker 3: and I'll plan to be there. I was living in
Speaker 3: downtown Atlanta at the time and working for the State
Speaker 3: of Georgia, and all my girlfriends and everybody were like, oh, Jessica,
Speaker 3: that's weird. What are you thinking. I was like, y'all
Speaker 3: know me, I'm down. I'm gonna be fine. The list
Speaker 3: they sent me I got on their email list. They
Speaker 3: sent me this long list of stuff like tents and
Speaker 3: everything you need to go camping. I didn't have anything,
Speaker 3: so I had to go buy a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 3: I was so nervous that I went and I set
Speaker 3: up my tent and my best friend's backyard with her.
Speaker 3: Her husband helped me because I didn't want to look
Speaker 3: stupid when I got there, so I had everything ready
Speaker 3: to go set. I was consulting with my cousin all
Speaker 3: kind of hiking boots to get and all that kind
Speaker 3: of stuff. I was just ready, no intention of ever
Speaker 3: being a big foot Field reason. It never clicked that
Speaker 3: they might actually want me on their team. One day, ever,
Speaker 3: I was driving a Volkswagen passat at the time. I
Speaker 3: never forget this because I went up to the North
Speaker 3: Georgia Mountains and I didn't even think about maybe needing
Speaker 3: fourbele drives and needing like a truck, and I went
Speaker 3: down these roads. I have no idea how I made
Speaker 3: it to that spot. I fished tiled the entire way.
Speaker 3: I was a race car driver growing up, so I
Speaker 3: knew how to handle a car. But it was weird.
Speaker 3: But that's besides the point. I got up there, me
Speaker 3: and my little city. But even though I was a
Speaker 3: country girl too, I got up there. I had the
Speaker 3: most I don't know, if I can say, the balls
Speaker 3: to the walls bigfoot experiences. While I was out there
Speaker 3: for that weekend. It was shocking. It was absolutely shocking
Speaker 3: the things that happened to me and that happened to
Speaker 3: our team. And I say our team because they did
Speaker 3: ask me to join their team after that weekend was over.
Speaker 3: The things that happened. I looked back on it today
Speaker 3: and I see that I had so much activity out there,
Speaker 3: and it wasn't just bigfoot. I think I had so
Speaker 3: much to reel me in because this was, like, I
Speaker 3: want to say, my destiny. This was like what I
Speaker 3: was supposed to do with my life. And I had
Speaker 3: no idea at the time that it would ever be
Speaker 3: like that. So I got out there, I met some
Speaker 3: it's actually some big names in the bigfooting community today
Speaker 3: and I didn't know who they were. I say that
Speaker 3: now I have a show about bigfoot. They've all been
Speaker 3: on my shows and stuff. But back then they were
Speaker 3: a stranger. I didn't know who they were, and I
Speaker 3: do there are people that like to go out and
Speaker 3: look for bigfoot. We got out there and I spent
Speaker 3: I think it was two or three nights, might have
Speaker 3: been three nights. I was out there. The team had
Speaker 3: been out there for about a week, but I got
Speaker 3: out there. From the very first night that I went
Speaker 3: out there, I had some weird activity that went down
Speaker 3: where I told them I didn't get all this stuff.
Speaker 3: I didn't buy all this equipment. I didn't put on
Speaker 3: my big girl pants and come out here for nothing.
Speaker 3: I want to see a bigfoot, okay, and if there's
Speaker 3: a bigfoot out here, I want to go out on
Speaker 3: the black Ops teams put me out there. I'll be
Speaker 3: bait whatever I need to do to have an experience,
Speaker 3: but not to put my life in danger. But I'm
Speaker 3: willing to put myself out there because they'd been joking
Speaker 3: around about big foots liking women children, maybe being more
Speaker 3: attracted to women. I don't mean attracted in a weird way,
Speaker 3: but just being more prone to coming out If a
Speaker 3: woman's out there, and there were a couple of other
Speaker 3: women out there with this SI weekend. But I was like,
Speaker 3: I volunteer to be bait. Okay, whatever y'all need. I
Speaker 3: gotta admit I was pretty brave to begin with. I
Speaker 3: was a kickboxer back then, and nothing scared me. Okay nothing,
Speaker 3: So I'd beat up people if I had to. I didn't,
Speaker 3: but I would, and I thought I can protect myself.
Speaker 3: Maybe I didn't know. I really didn't know what I
Speaker 3: was getting myself into, and so the first night, I'll
Speaker 3: just get into it. The first night I was out there,
Speaker 3: we brought off into small teams because there were a
Speaker 3: bunch of people out there. This was an expedition with
Speaker 3: the Enigma Research Group. There's a core group of four men,
Speaker 3: seasoned researchers, and they had invited friends, other researchers and
Speaker 3: people interested in going out there and see if they
Speaker 3: wanted to bring more people on their team. I went
Speaker 3: with two of the original members and a bunch of
Speaker 3: other guys, the guy from Wisconsin, and Craig was one
Speaker 3: of the guys, and JT's one of the guys. There's
Speaker 3: just a few people out there. I didn't really know.
Speaker 3: We went to this one field, so there's a big team.
Speaker 3: We broke off into little teams, and we went to
Speaker 3: this one particular field where they had gotten a bunch
Speaker 3: of activity before. And we're up in the middle of
Speaker 3: the woods, deep forest, thick vegetation. They have these certain
Speaker 3: fields where they would just go and sit and they'd
Speaker 3: observe sometimes when they'd go out there, and they would
Speaker 3: have just whatever would happen would happen. A lot of
Speaker 3: times they would have bigfoot activity out there. Even other
Speaker 3: kind of weird stuff would happen, even like paranormal stuf
Speaker 3: would happen. They'd see things in the sky like UFOs.
Speaker 3: And back then this field was not called the Ufo field,
Speaker 3: but today we called the Cufo field because of what
Speaker 3: happened that weekend. And so when we got there, we
Speaker 3: all got our chairs out of the vehicles and we
Speaker 3: were going to go sit in this field and just
Speaker 3: hang out. We're gonna put the chair down at the
Speaker 3: bottom of the hill and there's an open field and
Speaker 3: a big tree line all around it, and we're just
Speaker 3: gonna chill and hang out. I didn't know what to expect.
Speaker 3: It was dark. One of the guys goes, hey, Jessica,
Speaker 3: I dare to walk by yourself up to that tree
Speaker 3: line up there, see what happened. And I gotta tell you,
Speaker 3: it was like one hundred yards. It was a long way.
Speaker 3: It was a pretty long way from the bottom of
Speaker 3: that hill up this tree line. And the guys said
Speaker 3: they all had flear, they had fleered, they had a
Speaker 3: night vision thermals, and they said they would sit down there,
Speaker 3: they'd all watch me. And so I thought, man, that's cool.
Speaker 3: As long as people can see what happens to me,
Speaker 3: they can at least tell my mom what got me
Speaker 3: if something happened to me. And so I decided, I
Speaker 3: was like, all right, cool. So I put on my backpack.
Speaker 3: I didn't have a radio back then. I didn't have
Speaker 3: anything we carried like Bao pungs, the CBE radios and stuff. Now,
Speaker 3: back then, I had nothing. I didn't have night vision,
Speaker 3: I didn't have thermal flear. I had nothing. It was
Speaker 3: just me in the field in a backpack. I don't
Speaker 3: even know what was in my backpack, probably not a
Speaker 3: whole lot. But I was just like, okay, I'll start walking.
Speaker 3: So I did and never watching me. Because I got
Speaker 3: about halfway up this field, one of those guys came
Speaker 3: running up behind me. He was running like full speed.
Speaker 3: I could hear him. I was already nervous. I was
Speaker 3: trying to keep my cool. He said, look, if anything happened,
Speaker 3: you throw your arms up in the air. That's the
Speaker 3: distress call. And I was like, all right, I'm not
Speaker 3: throwing my arms up in the air no matter what.
Speaker 3: So I got like I said. I was halfway up
Speaker 3: the hill. I heard all of these guys running up
Speaker 3: behind me. I thought, dang, that's so unprofessional, Like, why
Speaker 3: would those guys do this to me. I played rugby
Speaker 3: for my college. I know how to take a hit.
Speaker 3: I thought, there's no either going to hit me, but
Speaker 3: they're probably just gonna grab me or something. They got
Speaker 3: closer and I heard it as they got right up
Speaker 3: to me. I braced for impact because I didn't turn around.
Speaker 3: I heard him as he got really close to me,
Speaker 3: and I braced. I stopped walking because I was ready
Speaker 3: to get hit. He knocked my legs out from underneath me.
Speaker 3: My legs got swept from behind, and he kept running. Hey,
Speaker 3: in my mind, it is a he right. So I
Speaker 3: felt the wind, I felt my legs get hit and
Speaker 3: I looked over and there was nobody there. I went
Speaker 3: behind me. There was nobody there. I was like, what
Speaker 3: the heck just happened? That was really weird. I was like,
Speaker 3: there's nobody there, but I just heard this guy run
Speaker 3: up behind me, and and it not me off balance.
Speaker 3: Apparently my arms went up a little bit, not all
Speaker 3: the way, but just a little bit. I looked around
Speaker 3: on the ground and I was trying to find a
Speaker 3: log or sticks or something that I could have tripped
Speaker 3: over or hit, because I was trying to rationalize what happened.
Speaker 3: There was no rationalizing really, so I was like, that
Speaker 3: was weird. So I just decided to keep on going,
Speaker 3: all right. So I'm just going to keep going because
Speaker 3: that was weird, and maybe my mind's just playing tricks
Speaker 3: on me. Maybe I'm just scared. I'm nervous. I went
Speaker 3: up to that tree line, and I know I was shaken.
Speaker 3: I know it was. But one of the guys, I
Speaker 3: did hear somebody walking behind me. Eventually when I got
Speaker 3: almost that tree line, and it was Craig, one of
Speaker 3: the guys from the team. He's, hey, are you okay?
Speaker 3: We saw you jump. We always just wonder what happened.
Speaker 3: I was like, well, did you not see somebody run
Speaker 3: behind me, and he said, no, we didn't see anything.
Speaker 3: So we went back down to try to figure out
Speaker 3: what had happened. So we went back down to that spot,
Speaker 3: the exact spot where I had that little experience, and
Speaker 3: he turned on his flashlight. We looked. There were no limbs,
Speaker 3: there were no logs, there was nothing near. He started
Speaker 3: talking to me about cloak bigfoot and stuff, and I
Speaker 3: was like, what, I never heard of a cloak bigfoot before.
Speaker 3: I didn't know they could do that. I was still
Speaker 3: looking for a big monkey in the woods. He just
Speaker 3: started telling me about all sorts of stuff. He knew
Speaker 3: I was nervous, so he got into a story about
Speaker 3: how he had been investigating the green swamp down in Florida.
Speaker 3: Something happened, he did something stupid and it made a
Speaker 3: bigfoot mad, so he got screamed out of there. So
Speaker 3: he was telling me about that and was making me laugh.
Speaker 3: We walked back up to that tree line as we
Speaker 3: were talking, and something just pulled me over to the
Speaker 3: far right corner of that tree line. And as I'm
Speaker 3: standing I don't know what it was. I don't know
Speaker 3: why I got pulled over there, but I was just
Speaker 3: standing there looking into the trees, and the guys down
Speaker 3: at the bottom of the hill were watching through their
Speaker 3: fleer night vision and they watched as a bigfoot peeked
Speaker 3: his head out from around the tree and stared at me.
Speaker 3: We're making in front of me. I'm talking about feet
Speaker 3: in front of me. And I didn't see it. I
Speaker 3: didn't know it. I just knew that I was being
Speaker 3: drawn over there to that location. And they watched as
Speaker 3: that happened. And remember I still I don't have a radio.
Speaker 3: I still don't know what's happening. But that was my
Speaker 3: first night ever going bigfooting. Ever. Of course, the next
Speaker 3: day we had to go back to that field. We
Speaker 3: had to because there was a weird stuff that was
Speaker 3: a high strangeness to the max. We got a game
Speaker 3: plan together. The guys got the plan. I told him,
Speaker 3: don't not include me. Okay, whatever y'all do, I want
Speaker 3: to do it too. They were like, okay, let's get you.
Speaker 3: And one of the guys, JT. Who's the guys who
Speaker 3: saw the bigfoot peek its head around the tree the
Speaker 3: night before that, y'all too go would call it a
Speaker 3: spidy hole. We could make a spi hill in the woods.
Speaker 3: Around three o'clock in the afternoon. Actually, okay, so we
Speaker 3: went early in the afternoon, gilly suits, camo, all that stuff.
Speaker 3: We were going to go and blend into the environment.
Speaker 3: There's a big game trail right there on the corner
Speaker 3: of that field where that bigfoot had peekedet set around
Speaker 3: the tree right in front of me, and so we
Speaker 3: were going to go post up by that tree, one
Speaker 3: of those trees, and we were going to try to
Speaker 3: blend into the environment. We're gonna sit there until about
Speaker 3: nine ten o'clock at night. It was a long night,
Speaker 3: long day. Then the whole team was going to come
Speaker 3: out and put their chairs in a circle in the
Speaker 3: middle of that field and make a bunch of noise.
Speaker 3: It was in hopes that the bigfoot or bigfoots would
Speaker 3: come down that big game trail right there and step
Speaker 3: on us and I'd get to see my bigfoot. So
Speaker 3: that was a plan. It was a good plan. It
Speaker 3: was really good plan with thought. So that's what we did.
Speaker 3: And we sat out there and I you know, I
Speaker 3: don't take a whole lot of equipment with me even
Speaker 3: today when I'm out there doing my research. I like
Speaker 3: to go bare minimum. I used to take a recorder.
Speaker 3: I've got a K two meter, a lot of stuff
Speaker 3: that people take ghost hunting and stuff. We take that
Speaker 3: out there to the field. But I just took a
Speaker 3: few things with me that day, and one of them
Speaker 3: was a voice recorder, and it was a good thing
Speaker 3: I did, because we got some weird stuff on those
Speaker 3: voice requorders. I have to starting to slaw by saying,
Speaker 3: I don't think there was a lot of Bigfoot activity
Speaker 3: out there. And I'm not going to get into the
Speaker 3: whole details of a store because it's a long story,
Speaker 3: but let's just say at some point light started showing
Speaker 3: up on the side of the mountain while we were
Speaker 3: sitting there. It's all on my voice recorder where we
Speaker 3: noticed these lights, like a big orb was like floating
Speaker 3: over the trees. This is prime Bigfoot country too, So
Speaker 3: we're sitting there and know this light shows up over
Speaker 3: this tree line across from where we were sitting, and
Speaker 3: on my voice recorder, I'm pegging up and I don't
Speaker 3: know this until weeks later. I was scared to listen
Speaker 3: to this voice recorder because we had so much weird
Speaker 3: stuff that happened to us while we were sitting out
Speaker 3: there that night. When we saw this light show up
Speaker 3: on the side of this mountain. We both got really
Speaker 3: quiet in this recording that I had, and it sounded
Speaker 3: like it suddenly sounded like bottle rockets were shooting off
Speaker 3: all around us, and it's something that he and I
Speaker 3: didn't hear with our own ears. It was really odd.
Speaker 3: The fact that we had gotten really quiet too, and
Speaker 3: we don't remember any of that was really odd. So
Speaker 3: I think that we had some missing time. And let
Speaker 3: me tell you, right before that happened, you can hear
Speaker 3: us talking about how our equipment was malfunctioning and my
Speaker 3: digital claw was going We went forward an hour and
Speaker 3: his went backwards an hour. So all of our equipment
Speaker 3: started going haywire out there, our batteries were draining, the
Speaker 3: clocks were changing. Then we had what sounded like bottle
Speaker 3: rockets being shot off all around us. After we heard
Speaker 3: this recording of the head of that team came over
Speaker 3: to my apartment actually because I was scared to listen
Speaker 3: to that tape by myself the recording device. After we
Speaker 3: listened to it, we were so shocked at what we
Speaker 3: were hearing, it deleted by itself right after we listened
Speaker 3: to it. So I was so glad that he was
Speaker 3: there to hear that with me, But we've never been
Speaker 3: able to recover that recording. So it just started off
Speaker 3: so crazy and so strange and so wild the first
Speaker 3: time I ever went bigfooting. We started making a connection
Speaker 3: to other stuff that was going on with the bigfoot
Speaker 3: activity out there, and it was really unnerving because the
Speaker 3: head of that team was like, all right, we know
Speaker 3: something that happened to Jessica and JT. We just don't
Speaker 3: know what happened out.
Speaker 1: There, and stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see.
Speaker 4: We'll be right back.
Speaker 3: After these messages, I think you guys need to get
Speaker 3: some books start researching alien abductions. And I was like,
Speaker 3: what I went out there to go see a bigfoot
Speaker 3: would real? Now I'm not only a part of a
Speaker 3: bigfoot research team, but now I got to deal with
Speaker 3: being abducted by aliens. Great, that's how it started. That's
Speaker 3: a long story for me to tell you how I
Speaker 3: got started in bigfooting, but that was it. I couldn't
Speaker 3: just walk away from that hat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a crazy start, much wilder than mine
Speaker 1: and most people's. I think in bigfoot I want to
Speaker 1: go back to that first experience. As you were telling
Speaker 1: the story, I'm thinking, Oh my god, I can't believe
Speaker 1: these guys are doing this to you. Why would you
Speaker 1: have anybody out looking for bigfoot? You're going to run
Speaker 1: up behind them and all this stuff. That's just not
Speaker 1: cool if you go out and you do serious field research.
Speaker 1: That's one of the things that I make sure anytime
Speaker 1: I go out with somebody, Nobody fools around, Nobody does
Speaker 1: calls and tries to fake people out. That's a big
Speaker 1: no as far as I'm concern when it comes to research.
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like that's what happened to you. Let
Speaker 1: me ask you. I'm certainly jumping to conclusions in my
Speaker 1: mind about what happened to you on that trail heading
Speaker 1: towards the tree line. Do you think that you had
Speaker 1: a physical thing happened with a sasquatch on that walk.
Speaker 3: I'm the kind of person that doesn't label everything bigfoot.
Speaker 3: I don't, and I know that there's so many other
Speaker 3: things that could be going on out there. But there
Speaker 3: was something physical that did make contact with my body
Speaker 3: for sure. I'm very empathic, okay, And like I'd said earlier,
Speaker 3: I've been seeing ghosts my whole life. It could have
Speaker 3: been a ghost. That was what I went to bed
Speaker 3: that night. Think it could have been a ghost or something.
Speaker 3: I don't know because I never heard of a cloak bigfoot,
Speaker 3: But the longer that I've been in the field, I
Speaker 3: think it could have been a cloak bigfoot one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: I felt like there was almost some kind of an
Speaker 3: initiation going on. It was not only for me, but
Speaker 3: maybe for whatever that was that came up behind me.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. That's definitely an interesting take. I want to
Speaker 1: circle back. I want to come back to the cloaking thing. Obviously,
Speaker 1: believe it or not, it didn't scare you out of
Speaker 1: this because you have continued to go out into the field.
Speaker 1: What was that progression like after you had those couple
Speaker 1: of days back to back with all these weird things
Speaker 1: going on, how did you start to process that and
Speaker 1: what drove you forward to continue going out? Was it
Speaker 1: to have more experiences with these things? Is that the
Speaker 1: driving force for you when you go out in the field.
Speaker 3: You can imagine life got weird after that. My entire
Speaker 3: reality shifted after that experience out there. It was actually
Speaker 3: quite comforting to have people out there. Like when weird
Speaker 3: stuff happens, you're with a group of people, you form
Speaker 3: a bond, and I had formed like a serious bond
Speaker 3: with some of these strangers that became like family to me.
Speaker 3: So there was like a bond there. It wasn't like
Speaker 3: I was just some kind of adrenaline rush and stuff.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like that. I couldn't just walk away from
Speaker 3: that experience and not understand it more. It's hard to explain.
Speaker 3: That's a great question, though, it's just hard to explain it.
Speaker 3: It felt natural for me to continue with it and
Speaker 3: to look more into it. When the head of the
Speaker 3: team was like, y'all need to start researching alien abductions,
Speaker 3: he gave us a list of books that he suggested
Speaker 3: we start reading, like The Threat Communion. I still have
Speaker 3: them all today, all these books I started going down
Speaker 3: that rabbit hole. One thing leads to another. By the
Speaker 3: time it was all over, I had a whole bookshelf
Speaker 3: full of alien abduction books and stuff. Because I had
Speaker 3: not even ever even thought about aliens being potentially associated
Speaker 3: with Bigfoot experiences. I didn't know. Plus the team kept
Speaker 3: inviting me back and stuff too. They wanted me to
Speaker 3: come back they were joking around about how I brought
Speaker 3: the high strangeness with me and all these years that
Speaker 3: we do this. Everybody on that team, by the way,
Speaker 3: and all the teams that I'm on are very highly
Speaker 3: intuitive and magnets to high strangeness. After that incident that
Speaker 3: happened with JT and I out in that field, the
Speaker 3: head of that team, like I had mentioned, he is
Speaker 3: trained in remote viewing, which is something our military uses
Speaker 3: for psychic spying. So he was like, Hey, we have
Speaker 3: so much weird stuff going on out there. We don't
Speaker 3: really know what it is, like, what's happening. It'd be
Speaker 3: good if we were all trained, the whole team was
Speaker 3: trained and remote viewing. And I am willing to teach
Speaker 3: you guys, if you're willing to put in the work
Speaker 3: with me, and it's going to be long and it's
Speaker 3: going to be rough, it's not going to be easy,
Speaker 3: but it would be a great tool in the toolbox
Speaker 3: for bigfoot field research if we had a whole team
Speaker 3: of psychic people. It's not just like being psychic. There's
Speaker 3: a science to it. Remote viewing as a science. It's
Speaker 3: not like you just sit there and you're doing a
Speaker 3: palm reading or something. It's like you got graphs and
Speaker 3: charts and you're giving a target, a blind target. You
Speaker 3: get a set of numbers, and you sit down and
Speaker 3: do a session, and you get all this data out
Speaker 3: of it for targets that you don't know what they are,
Speaker 3: and it could be locations, any kind of event that happens,
Speaker 3: any kind of a property that may have cryptid activity
Speaker 3: on it, or whatever. We're give coordinates said, but we
Speaker 3: don't know what the coordinates are. They're blind. We're getting
Speaker 3: all this data. So for the next several years we're
Speaker 3: still training occasionally. That was in twenty eleven we started
Speaker 3: training as a team in remote viewing for weekends on
Speaker 3: end together. So we started becoming psychically switched on, which
Speaker 3: I think made us more susceptible to having paranormal and
Speaker 3: cryptied experiences out there because we are like beacons of
Speaker 3: light out there. I had mentioned those guys were talking
Speaker 3: about how they were trying to communicate with Bigfoots and
Speaker 3: stuff when I first met them. Bigfoots additionally might be telepathic.
Speaker 3: Right mind speak might help to be able to be
Speaker 3: psychic and to be able to tune in and use
Speaker 3: telepathy when it comes to the bigfoots and other cryptids.
Speaker 1: That is not the first time I've had that conversation
Speaker 1: with people. I don't think I'm there yet because the
Speaker 1: few people that I have had experiences with, and I'm
Speaker 1: not saying I've had mine speak experiences, but that I
Speaker 1: have gotten to know on some level that claimed to
Speaker 1: be able to do that. The first and foremost is
Speaker 1: Todd standing and Ash's research partner. They are big into
Speaker 1: the telepathic communication mind speak with bigfoot. I went up
Speaker 1: there with an open mind. When I went out with
Speaker 1: Todd for seven days in his research area, I went
Speaker 1: in with an open mind, and I wanted to give
Speaker 1: him the benefit of the doubt. I did that because
Speaker 1: there was a time where I think it was probably
Speaker 1: day two or three of that expedition, that I was
Speaker 1: back at base camp. We were going in a different area,
Speaker 1: and Todd and Ashley were out in this area where
Speaker 1: that had a gifting station. There was a huge tree
Speaker 1: structure that they turned into their gifting area where they
Speaker 1: would leave apples for these creatures. They went out, I
Speaker 1: think again it was day two or three of the expedition.
Speaker 1: We were somewhere else. They went to this area and
Speaker 1: they said that they had an encounter with two sasquatchs
Speaker 1: that walked out into this open field area. Todd was
Speaker 1: telling the story, talking about the fact that Ashley had
Speaker 1: never had that close of an experience with these things.
Speaker 1: Todd said to me, and I think I've actually got
Speaker 1: this video up over on the Sasquatch out to see
Speaker 1: YouTube channel where Todd is explaining what happened. He's saying
Speaker 1: that he got a telepathic message from them saying she's
Speaker 1: not ready. So he and Ashley say they have this
Speaker 1: ability to communicate with Sasquatch teleopathically. So we went out myself,
Speaker 1: Richard and Kyle, who were with me, went out to
Speaker 1: this area and we sat there for a couple of hours, meditated,
Speaker 1: cleared our minds, and did all the things that Todd
Speaker 1: suggested we do to open ourselves up to possibly having
Speaker 1: one of those experiences. It's contrary to what a lot
Speaker 1: of people would like to see from me, but I
Speaker 1: keep a very open mind and very skeptical about Bigfoot,
Speaker 1: even though I have seen them. Now I know they're real.
Speaker 1: Within the last few months, I've had my experiences that
Speaker 1: have completely pushed me into the nowherre camp. But I'm
Speaker 1: still very skeptical about a lot of aspects about this research.
Speaker 1: Having said that, I don't know what to make of
Speaker 1: the possible telepathic communications that people say they have with them.
Speaker 1: I have always been of the mind that it is
Speaker 1: more of our third eye. It is that inateability that
Speaker 1: we all have as human beings to since danger, even
Speaker 1: though we don't know that's what's happening. The hair stands
Speaker 1: up on the back of your neck. There's this voice
Speaker 1: that says, don't go that way, go this way. How
Speaker 1: many times have we heard those stories that people say,
Speaker 1: if I went this way, the bridge was out and
Speaker 1: I could have died or whatever. But something told me
Speaker 1: not to experienced that. So many times I've told the
Speaker 1: stories about being a police officer and some of the
Speaker 1: things that happened to me. I think it's more along
Speaker 1: the lines of that's what people are experiencing, But I've
Speaker 1: had less strout on the show, Let's has talked about
Speaker 1: having multiple experiences what he believes to be mind speaking.
Speaker 1: So let's talk a little bit about that. For you. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you've been out in the field, you continue going out.
Speaker 1: You're a member of four groups. Now you're part of
Speaker 1: four research teams. Have you experienced that yourself, I guess
Speaker 1: is a good place to start. If not, where are
Speaker 1: you just in general on that telepathic communication that people
Speaker 1: claim to have with these creatures.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure a lot of people talk about Everybody
Speaker 3: has their own experiences, so I'm not going to judge anybody.
Speaker 3: I've actually heard some people who have had some really
Speaker 3: wild encounters that are almost unbelievable. I take a super
Speaker 3: practical approach with all of this. I'm not out there claiming,
Speaker 3: oh I mind speaking with Bigfoot all the time, because
Speaker 3: I'm not. When we're out there, I utilize my psychic
Speaker 3: skills by just being aware of my surroundings and stuff
Speaker 3: like that. Yes, I would love to communicate with Bigfoot,
Speaker 3: and yes our team sometimes does, and especially the guys
Speaker 3: we've actually set up some encounters with the bigfoots and
Speaker 3: psychically tuned into them and had conversations almost with them.
Speaker 3: Bigfoots are on so many different levels, because there's some
Speaker 3: that are out there that are just looking for food
Speaker 3: all the time, that are primitive, animalistic, and then there's
Speaker 3: some that are, like I said, at different levels. Some
Speaker 3: are highly telepathic and very intelligent. I mean our team
Speaker 3: has experienced so much strange things like potential portals and
Speaker 3: stuff out there. One of my teams, we actually have
Speaker 3: what we consider to be a portal on video and
Speaker 3: we sent two of the team meets. Two of the
Speaker 3: guys went into this thing to check it out. They
Speaker 3: didn't know they were going into it, and their heat
Speaker 3: signatures disappeared when they got up to it, and then
Speaker 3: they came back out. There's a whole other story behind
Speaker 3: that on one of my teams. That just happened a
Speaker 3: few years ago. But I think that some of these
Speaker 3: bigfoots potentially are able to access these portals and stuff.
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't they be If they're out there, they have
Speaker 3: accessed to a lot of things that we don't just
Speaker 3: stuff they know that we don't know. Like I said,
Speaker 3: there are some that are just like animalistic kind of
Speaker 3: they're out there looking for food all the time and stuff.
Speaker 3: When the guys have potentially gotten tried to do some
Speaker 3: communication with them, they're using very primitive language, I want
Speaker 3: to say, and it's almost it's telepathic. So we'll be
Speaker 3: back when the moon is this full and when the
Speaker 3: leaves are this color and that kind of stuff. Super basic,
Speaker 3: but getting the point across with that kind of stuff. Now,
Speaker 3: of course I know people personally who talk about how
Speaker 3: they have super psychic telepathic communication with bigfoots. They party
Speaker 3: in their backyards and the sticks mean this and that,
Speaker 3: and Honestly, as much as I've been in this more
Speaker 3: I thought I knew the less, I don't know anything. Okay,
Speaker 3: everything I thought I do, I don't, And so I
Speaker 3: don't claim to be like some super psychic that's communicating
Speaker 3: with bigfoots all the time.
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about some of the other
Speaker 1: experiences that you've had out in the field that you
Speaker 1: can or you would attribute or possibly attribute to sasquatch.
Speaker 1: What are the kind of experiences that you guys having
Speaker 1: outside of maybe some of the high strangeness stuff. Are
Speaker 1: you experiencing the more animalistic stuff rock throws vocalizations. Are
Speaker 1: you guys physically seeing these things out in your research areas?
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely all the time. Yes. North Georgia has probably
Speaker 3: the biggest concentration of bigfoots of anywhere that I've ever researched,
Speaker 3: and I have researched all over the place, all over
Speaker 3: the South mostly and New York. I just went to
Speaker 3: New York last year and did some big footing over
Speaker 3: in montok Camp Hero. But yeah, in North Georgia absolutely,
Speaker 3: our team always has I'm not saying always every single
Speaker 3: time we go out, Okay, that's just unreasonable contact and
Speaker 3: have big foot activity every time we go out, but
Speaker 3: we don't. It's a hit or miss. But we go
Speaker 3: where the bigfoots are. We know they're out there. And
Speaker 3: I was just out there less than a month ago,
Speaker 3: about three weeks ago, I have one of my teams
Speaker 3: came down from Tennessee. We went up to North Georgia.
Speaker 3: We had a lot of interesting activity, but it turned
Speaker 3: out to be mostly coyotes. It wasn't the typical bigfoot
Speaker 3: activity that we normally have up there. But yeah, we
Speaker 3: have I'm going to say three or four different places
Speaker 3: where we set up base camps. Around one of the
Speaker 3: areas that we go to, we're pretty much guaranteed to
Speaker 3: have something that happened some that goes down some kind
Speaker 3: of bigfoot activity that same area, the UFO field where
Speaker 3: I had that activity, where I had the bigfoot peak
Speaker 3: just head around the tree at me. I was out
Speaker 3: there sometime last year last year, and this year I
Speaker 3: go out there all the time, but these particular times,
Speaker 3: I had some other researchers with me. We're seeing like orbs,
Speaker 3: like an orange orb. Two of us saw like an
Speaker 3: orange light in the tree line as we're out there,
Speaker 3: right as I see it, and it's like an orange
Speaker 3: light the center your logo the sasquatch. I just see logo.
Speaker 3: Is that exact color by the way it rushes through
Speaker 3: the trees. And then it's like a loud growl and
Speaker 3: a huff because I saw that orb thing and it
Speaker 3: was just really odd. So of course, the first thing
Speaker 3: my buddy and I did, we'd turn on our flashlights,
Speaker 3: so we looked to make sure there wasn't a bear.
Speaker 3: But I knew that wasn't a bear. I knew it
Speaker 3: wasn't a bear. But stuff like that happens quite often
Speaker 3: a lot of times in the area. Like I had
Speaker 3: another researcher brand with me up there, and I actually
Speaker 3: took him into that same place too, and we went
Speaker 3: up to the top of the hill up to that
Speaker 3: tree line. He's a police officer out in South Carolina,
Speaker 3: and so we were up there hanging out. It's like, okay,
Speaker 3: we never have bugs chirping out there, hardly. Ever, in
Speaker 3: this particular night, he and I were out there in
Speaker 3: the crickets whatever. These chirping bugs were out there, all
Speaker 3: these insects they're out there. We were like screaming over
Speaker 3: each other, talking to each other, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: we're talking, We're still being really loud, and they just
Speaker 3: go dead silent, and he and I look at each
Speaker 3: other and we're still screaming over the bugs that aren't
Speaker 3: chirping anymore. It was startling to us, and so we
Speaker 3: sat there for a minute and I was looking over
Speaker 3: his shoulder, he was looking over mine. We knew there
Speaker 3: was a predator there. We knew there was something there
Speaker 3: because those bugs don't go dead silent for nothing, I
Speaker 3: mean everything, and the whole entire energy shifted. There was
Speaker 3: something out there. So we sat there for a minute.
Speaker 3: We were seeing hulking shadows crawling up I'm talking about
Speaker 3: crawling around us, and I felt personally, energetically, I felt
Speaker 3: like there was something down by my truck, which is
Speaker 3: down to the botom of the hill. It was a
Speaker 3: long way primpos. Something was moving in on us, and
Speaker 3: we saw it. So we both agreed, maybe it's safer
Speaker 3: to go back down by the truck. There's something down
Speaker 3: there too, so maybe we should make some space between
Speaker 3: us and whatever's up here and try to get down
Speaker 3: to the truck before something jumps out at us. And
Speaker 3: we did, and as we got down to the truck,
Speaker 3: we looked up and there were two gigantic figures standing
Speaker 3: right where we had been standing. Big figures, I'm going
Speaker 3: to say bigfoot, okay, but they were just shadowy. So
Speaker 3: to the best of my knowledge, that were bigfoot. That's
Speaker 3: the kind of activity a lot of times that we have.
Speaker 3: That's the most common thing that would happen. It's not
Speaker 3: like they're right there in our faces. They sneak around
Speaker 3: our base camp at night. We've had one that came
Speaker 3: into our base camp and screamed really loud and ran
Speaker 3: behind our tents as it were screaming, and then it
Speaker 3: proceeded the entire night to throw acorns and rocks at
Speaker 3: our tents all night. But yeah, that was fun. I've
Speaker 3: had the big rocks thrown at me before, sitting around
Speaker 3: base camp. A lot of times, if we're just hanging
Speaker 3: out a base camp, we have more activity there than
Speaker 3: we do out hiking. At night. They love to come
Speaker 3: watch we're there entertainment a lot of times, that's what happens,
Speaker 3: but there's no shortage of bigfoot sightings and activity. They
Speaker 3: don't want to be seen, they don't mind being heard. Though.
Speaker 3: There have been nights where we've been out in some
Speaker 3: of these fields, or not even in the fields, more
Speaker 3: like out in the trails. It sounds like owls or
Speaker 3: some kind of or a cow. One night we had
Speaker 3: a cow out on top of a mountain. There are
Speaker 3: no cows out there. We go so far out in
Speaker 3: the middle of nowhere, there's no cows. We're hearing like
Speaker 3: a mood. After it mood, it started laughing, and it
Speaker 3: was like the lung capacity on it was like it
Speaker 3: couldn't have the mood, and then laughed as much as
Speaker 3: it did like a human. It just was not humanly
Speaker 3: possible to make those sounds that they were making, and
Speaker 3: it was like they were messing with us and trying
Speaker 3: to be funny and toying with us a little bit,
Speaker 3: or maybe just entertaining us for a change, things like that.
Speaker 3: What happened was after we had been out in the
Speaker 3: field doing all this bigfoot research for all these years
Speaker 3: and having bigfoot experiences, things started shifting. Where As a
Speaker 3: head of one of my teams said, all roads lead
Speaker 3: back to ET in our team's experience. Now, I'm not
Speaker 3: saying that's the same for everybody who's out there, but
Speaker 3: with our team, there was a lot of ET experiences,
Speaker 3: So all roads lead back to ET. That is the
Speaker 3: case with my team. It's not the case with every team,
Speaker 3: But our research has morphed from being just a bigfoot
Speaker 3: field research team to being a research team of everything supernatural,
Speaker 3: whatever's out there. We don't go out there just looking
Speaker 3: for Bigfoot. Now we're out there encountering whatever's there. We're
Speaker 3: there for it. So that delves into all the cryptids.
Speaker 3: One of my teams, the guys that I go out with,
Speaker 3: is called Cryptid Warfare Operators. We've been out doing other
Speaker 3: stuff like investigating other cryptis like dog Man and stuff
Speaker 3: lately too. But it's really interesting because when we go
Speaker 3: and investigate these dog man sightings, it usually ends up
Speaker 3: being aggressive bigfoots.
Speaker 1: I want to get into the dog man thing for sure,
Speaker 1: because it's something I've only had at this point. I
Speaker 1: think four people that I've interviewed out of over a
Speaker 1: thousand people at this point, easy that I've interviewed that
Speaker 1: have had dog Man experiences, So I want to talk
Speaker 1: a little bit about and get into dog Man. What
Speaker 1: prompted you guys to get into that kind of research
Speaker 1: with those teams? Was it personal experiences of somebody on
Speaker 1: the team? Was it people reporting this in the area
Speaker 1: As far as saying, I've had an experience with dog
Speaker 1: Man and you guys are investigating it. What got you
Speaker 1: guys into that and prompted you to start looking into it?
Speaker 1: What have you found? Have you guys had experiences what
Speaker 1: you believe to be dog Man? If so, what kind
Speaker 1: of evidence are you finding in relation to dog Man?
Speaker 3: I had never even heard of dog Man. Really, I
Speaker 3: didn't know anything about dog Man until the head of
Speaker 3: one of my teams, Bob Grumpy Wilson r IP to Bob.
Speaker 3: He passed away last year. He was the head of
Speaker 3: the North Georgia Cryptive Field Researchers. I was part of
Speaker 3: his team since about twenty twelve. I joined his team.
Speaker 3: Even today we go out a lot doing our field
Speaker 3: research and stuff. But he was actually the Region five
Speaker 3: director of the North American Dogman Project, so he knew
Speaker 3: a way more about dog Man than anybody I know,
Speaker 3: he would go out and do field investigations. People a
Speaker 3: lot of times, I'm going to say, they get dog
Speaker 3: man and bigfoot confused. But I tend to do a
Speaker 3: little bit even bears too. Bears get thrown in the mix.
Speaker 3: People see things and they don't know what they're looking
Speaker 3: at a lot of times, and I have been even
Speaker 3: all of us, even if we're having a bigfoot experience,
Speaker 3: I think that considering there's what four different categories of bigfoots,
Speaker 3: like the Patty type, the Gugway type with the muzzle.
Speaker 3: There's this type four that looks like the Neanderthal man,
Speaker 3: like a caveman. There's one that looks like a chimpanzee,
Speaker 3: like the ape like look a month. So there's different
Speaker 3: types of those. There's all these different types of dogmen.
Speaker 3: If you go to the North American dog Man website,
Speaker 3: there's eight different types of dog men or seven different
Speaker 3: types of categories of them, and I've heard reports of
Speaker 3: all of them, and I've had people on my shows
Speaker 3: who have encountered almost every single type of them, including
Speaker 3: the hyena dogmen as well, which are really weird, pretty scary.
Speaker 3: Of course, the majority of the reports that I get
Speaker 3: are not violent, although they do have a bad rap
Speaker 3: and we heard stories about them ripping people to shreds
Speaker 3: and massacres and things like that. At some of these
Speaker 3: national parks. It's a whole other ballgame, really, And of
Speaker 3: course I do think that the investigations that I've done
Speaker 3: where people thought that they had been accosted or stalked
Speaker 3: by dogwing, I think they were bigfoots.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for more sasquatch out to seem right back
Speaker 1: after these messages.
Speaker 3: And the reason that we get out there, we get asked,
Speaker 3: we get calls from people who were having encounters on
Speaker 3: their property. It's mostly people reaching out to us. The
Speaker 3: last dog man hunt that I went on was in
Speaker 3: Alabama actually, and one of the guys on the team
Speaker 3: at Cryptid Warfare he's a marine, his father's marine. His
Speaker 3: nephew was going into the Marines, and they had decided
Speaker 3: they were going to go camping before his nephew went
Speaker 3: off to boot camp. So they went to a national
Speaker 3: forest in Alabama. I'm not going to say which one
Speaker 3: was in North Alabama. They said they just wanted to
Speaker 3: go hiking. They went off trail, they went five miles
Speaker 3: off trail into this national forest. They had been there
Speaker 3: before without any kind of problems. They adn't think you
Speaker 3: were there were going, and they decided there's gone backpack
Speaker 3: height or backpack camp. And all they had was whatever
Speaker 3: they had on their back. So they got in there
Speaker 3: and they set up their little one man tents and stuff,
Speaker 3: and everything was fine. They were just going to enjoy
Speaker 3: nature and getting away from society for a while. They
Speaker 3: sat around eleven o'clock that night, they started getting surrounded
Speaker 3: by something and it led to one of the scariest
Speaker 3: nights of their lives, where they're actually sitting back to
Speaker 3: back waiting for something to attack them. They didn't if
Speaker 3: they were going to survive that night because they really
Speaker 3: couldn't get out of there. They'd hiked in so far,
Speaker 3: but they just didn't really stand a chance to get
Speaker 3: out of there. All they could do was hunker down
Speaker 3: and hope that everything worked out for them. And so
Speaker 3: they said right when the sun came up, they packed
Speaker 3: up everything and they were out of there as soon
Speaker 3: as the sun came up. So Brian, he texted me,
Speaker 3: He told me about it right after it happened, and
Speaker 3: he said, we should come out here. As a team
Speaker 3: which should bring the team out and find out what
Speaker 3: this is at some point. So we got the team together.
Speaker 3: There's only five of us, so there's a bigger team
Speaker 3: than that, but five Ovius met over there with Brian
Speaker 3: and his dad, two of the guys on the team,
Speaker 3: and myself and we went over there and it was
Speaker 3: absolutely wild. We hiked in about five miles off the
Speaker 3: trail to the exact location where they were. We set
Speaker 3: up our hammocks. We hamm at camps. One of the
Speaker 3: guys had a tent. We just posted up out there
Speaker 3: for the weekend. It was about one hundred and twenty
Speaker 3: five degrees out there. It was hot, just to add
Speaker 3: on to the high strangeness and the anxiety because it
Speaker 3: was a little and easy. Those guys are most of
Speaker 3: them are former military background and stuff. They're prepared, let's
Speaker 3: just say, if anything were to happen. So I'm not
Speaker 3: military background, but I'm prepared to if something were to happen.
Speaker 3: We were ready for whatever came at us. And we
Speaker 3: did have activity that night the first night. We did
Speaker 3: have activity in the next morning. There were bigfoot tracks
Speaker 3: around our camp and we set up most of the night.
Speaker 3: I mean, I ended up falling asleep at some point,
Speaker 3: but all night until the sun came up, at least
Speaker 3: one person was awake the entire night. You know, everybody's
Speaker 3: taking turns keep a watch around camp. But we never
Speaker 3: saw anything. We never saw it. It was very elusive and
Speaker 3: they stayed far enough out of the way where we
Speaker 3: just didn't pick anything up on fleer or thermal or anything.
Speaker 3: But the next morning we found tracks right outside of camp.
Speaker 3: It was definitely bigfoot. I'm going to put all my
Speaker 3: money on bigfoot out there while we were out there
Speaker 3: that night. But nonetheless, this park is known for having
Speaker 3: aggressive bigfoot. They are known for groups of bigfoots out there.
Speaker 3: They're also known for dog man sightings as well. We
Speaker 3: were prepared. I was actually ready to go see my
Speaker 3: first dog man. I was excited about that. But I
Speaker 3: did not get to see my first dog man. But
Speaker 3: you know, like I tell you something really crazy. There
Speaker 3: was a man walking out of the trail when we
Speaker 3: got there, and he was holding a big old rock.
Speaker 3: This is in the middle of nowhere. There's nobody out there.
Speaker 3: It's not a place that anybody goes to ever. There's
Speaker 3: trails out there. It's very isolated, and this man comes
Speaker 3: walking out of one of the trails that we were
Speaker 3: about to walk down, and I heard him ask him
Speaker 3: the guys. He was like, y'all ever heard of dragons
Speaker 3: and mud fossils or something. I forgot what he said exactly.
Speaker 3: He was like dragons, and the guys were like, yeah,
Speaker 3: we know about dragons. They were just brushing him off,
Speaker 3: and I was like, I know about dragon And what
Speaker 3: she got in your hand?
Speaker 2: What is that?
Speaker 3: And he goes, this is a dragon's wing. This is
Speaker 3: when we first got to this place where we had
Speaker 3: the bigfoot activity out there looking for dog Win. He said,
Speaker 3: I come out here a lot. My wife goes and
Speaker 3: walks these trails, and I found a dragon out here,
Speaker 3: he sayss like a fossilized dragon. He said, I come
Speaker 3: out here and I cleaned it up all the time,
Speaker 3: and it's covered in greenery and brush. Are you familiar
Speaker 3: with Mud Fossil University on YouTube? And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I know about it. If you're not familiar with it,
Speaker 3: it's really interesting to look into. I don't know if
Speaker 3: everybody believes in it or not, but I think there's
Speaker 3: some validity to it because I saw the dragon. I
Speaker 3: saw it. He actually took us over where it was,
Speaker 3: and it sure enough looked like a gigantic dragon that
Speaker 3: had fossilized that became part of the landscape out there,
Speaker 3: So that was really crazy. When we went out there
Speaker 3: to do a dog man hunt, got accosted by bigfoots
Speaker 3: and we walked over a dragon while we were out there.
Speaker 3: I tell you, my life is so wild. It's so wild,
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Speaker 1: It definitely sounds like it. You've mentioned it a couple
Speaker 1: of times before he let you get out of here.
