But 11 00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.439 this month, guys, I'm gonna be taking this month off 12 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.399 just to kind of recharge, record some stuff, and spend 13 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:46.200 some time with my family. But I'm not gonna leave 14 00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:48.880 you guys out to dry. I've talked to a few 15 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:53.399 of my good friends that have awesome podcasts, and if 16 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.200 you actually happen to listen to these guys already, you're 17 00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.640 gonna hear some of my stuff on their podcast. So 18 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.159 I have like four other podcasts that I'm working with 19 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:08.280 this month, and we are doing swapcasts.

Everything's pencil on paper. 91 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:54.399 But this gentleman was professional enough. He sent me a bio. 92 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:56.040 I don't know if you guys can see that. It's 93 00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:02.639 just a big white screen. I don't know how many 94 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.000 I may have had a handful of bios sent to 95 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.639 me before, but I feel like I should read this 96 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.360 all right, this is pretty cool. All right, let's go. 97 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.600 Harley Owens is an avid outdoorsman, power aligneman, and a 98 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:25.720 bigfoot researcher from East Tennessee. From non believer slash skeptic 99 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:30.199 until his first encounter on September twenty third, twenty twenty. 100 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.199 The encounter shattered his view of the world. After this 101 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:37.560 encounter stopped, he stopped hunting for three years until he 102 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:39.000 mustered up what he. 103 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:39.639 Thought was. 104 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.680 Courage against the fear of these creatures. On Thanksgiving Day 105 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:48.720 twenty twenty three, he went deer hunting and overcame that 106 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.319 fear and decided to start looking for answers to his questions. 107 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:57.199 On December seventh, twenty twenty three, he started doing his research. 108 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:00.680 Upon that, he went down the rabbit hole, thinking these 109 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:05.639 things were an ancient human or gigantipithecus. He has since 110 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.480 had three more bigfoot encounters, as well as two encounters 111 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:13.959 with dog man. I'm gonna just stop reading here. I'm 112 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:16.399 I'm all in. Let's go ahead and bring you on. 113 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:25.240 He has YouTube it it's Bigfoot Reports and Data, and 114 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:29.600 there's a Facebook group and he's on TikTok Bigfoot Reports 115 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.399 and Data. I'm gonna have him plug all that stuff 116 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.639 here beginning, middle end, whenever he wants to plug it. 117 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.040 I'm excited. You know how long it's been, guys since 118 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:43.199 we had just a Bigfoot encounter episode or a dog 119 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:49.560 Man encounter episode. Now where he goes with it from here, 120 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:52.160 I don't know, Maybe we'll land on these things. Are 121 00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:57.360 the l EU like I theorize, maybe he stays with Gigantipithecus. 122 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.279 I'm not here to change anybody's mind. I'm here to 123 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:05.120 learn and to hear what his experiences are. It's weird 124 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:10.600 because I just just told my wife yesterday it had 125 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:14.079 some in my mind that hardly was scheduled for today. 126 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:16.720 I had just told my wife yesterday, I wish I 127 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.920 could just have a classic Bigfoot story without having to 128 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:27.199 overthink this stuff. Maybe that's what we have today. Maybe 129 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:29.959 we have a good old flesh and blood he's going 130 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:31.680 to snatch you out of your hammock when you're not 131 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:36.480 looking Terror in the Ozarks kind of story. Or maybe 132 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:43.399 we have an interdimensional time traveling Nephelin Harry baby that 133 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:52.080 portal jumps and is in your dreams, right, It's hard 134 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.279 to tell. I don't know, and I'm open to anything. 135 00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:58.120 Anywhere he's at. 136 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.639 I want to meet him there. Right, let's bring Hardly 137 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:06.399 on the show man. I'm excited about this. I'm ready 138 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:06.759 to roll. 139 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:08.159 Oh yeah. 140 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.320 And if you do watch this show and you see 141 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.279 me looking down a lot one my monitors down here, 142 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:16.679 So this is me looking at the screen. If you 143 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.000 see me looking like this, it's because I take notes. 144 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:24.879 I'm a pencil and paper, old school note taker. My 145 00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.720 phone will be put away. I'm holding it because i'm 146 00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:31.759 reading the intro or the bio. Typically it's off to 147 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.840 the side somewhere. So if you see the top of 148 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:38.559 my head more than my face, because I suck at 149 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:43.679 this and I didn't intend on being a YouTube channel. 150 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:45.279 I intended on being a podcast. 151 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:50.679 But let's see where it goes, all right, go ahead 152 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:51.240 and bring him on. 153 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:55.799 All right. 154 00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:58.399 My name is Harley Owens. I'm twenty four years old. 155 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:04.320 I'm from East Tennessee. I'm a Bigfoot researcher. Well, I 156 00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:08.559 used to not believe in the Bigfoot until I had 157 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.639 my first experience at twenty years old September twenty third, 158 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:12.679 twenty twenty. 159 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:14.000 I worked for an. 160 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:19.559 Auction company at this time before became alignman. So We 161 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:23.480 went out there a week prior to this encounter happening 162 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.480 to me, and me and a buddy of mine were 163 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.440 talking to the owner of this auction for the auction 164 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.120 we were going to do, and we were talking back 165 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.200 and forth and he told us to keep an EyeT 166 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.200 for this bear that was rummaging around through the trash. 167 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:38.600 And I was like, is he pretty the size bear? 168 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:40.840 He said, yeah, he's pretty good sized, he said, but 169 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:42.720 there's far worse things in these mountains in him. And 170 00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:44.360 I'm like, okay, I'm running through my head. That's an 171 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.360 odd thing to say. I'm like, okay, you got venomous snakes, 172 00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:52.120 mountain lions, not to mention the bears, and you know 173 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.039 anything else that's running around. But I jokingly thought around 174 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.639 like a black panther, because I always heard stories of those. 175 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.399 Growing up all through these mountains. 176 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.840 And to going on through the week there, nothing much 177 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:06.679 really happened. 178 00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:13.039 And what happened, I don't know. 179 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:17.759 My camera went out that it's on the wrong camera, 180 00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:29.120 like it lost my Wow. Okay, yeah, man, you go ahead. 181 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:31.000 I'll turn my camera back off and see if I 182 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.279 can fix it while you talk. Man, I don't no, 183 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:33.840 You're good. 184 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:38.320 So I jokingly thought black panther, and you know, going 185 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.399 on for the rest of that week, nothing happened.

I think I was playing Anger Birds. 228 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.679 And now one point thirty came around. I went to 229 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.519 my service truck to get a Coca Cola and a 230 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:33.159 peanut butter sandwich out of my cooler. 231 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.240 So I'm getting there and I'm back. 232 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.480 I'm opening the lid and trying to get my sandwich 233 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.440 and coke out, and I hear it's gralice gruk and 234 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.320 I'm like, well, that's out of place. I've never heard 235 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:44.000 that before because I grew up on fishing. I'm like, 236 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:47.200 I know what I'm supposed to make. Those sounds of 237 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.480 the woods, and I was like, that's off. So I 238 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:53.879 managed to get my sandwich and my coke out of 239 00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:55.559 the cooler and I heard it again, and I looked 240 00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:57.919 up towards the wood on the cliff face and there's 241 00:13:57.960 --> 00:13:59.879 something moving along the cliff. And I was like, well 242 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.320 that bear, because all I seen was something black moving 243 00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:03.519 along this cliff. 244 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:04.840 And I was like, okay, that's that bar. 245 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:06.960 So I kept looking at it, and I could see 246 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:09.000 it moving through the brush. Well, I look down and 247 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.200 I looked back up. This thing was leaning out looking 248 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.440 at me. I knew instantly what it was. When I 249 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.120 saw it, I was like, holy crap, that's a big 250 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.080 This thing is a real People aren't crazy. 251 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:19.039 And this thing was leaning out and looking at me. 252 00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:21.519 And the only thing I knew of to do was 253 00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:25.320 take a picture, and I took a photograph of it, 254 00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:27.960 and the weirdest thing happened. Whenever I took this photograph, 255 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.600 I had like seventy something percent battery on that phone 256 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.480 and it just completely shut off. And I was like, well, 257 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:35.399 I ain't no way this thing just died. I had 258 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.480 seventy something percent battery and this thing was looking at 259 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:39.720 me and I was looking at and it just turned 260 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:42.279 around and walked further up on the woodline, and I 261 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:43.600 was like, holy rap. 262 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:45.639 So I just throw I threw it. 263 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:47.320 My phone on the charge or hoping it would come 264 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:48.879 back on it. It comes back on it has the 265 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.519 same percent battery. So I'm just like, well, what the 266 00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.799 crap just happened? And you know, I'm still processing that 267 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.240 I just seen a bigfoot. So later on that evening 268 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:00.799 is right about just to go. I was getting ready 269 00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.120 to leave and close this place up, and that's when 270 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:04.039 they started hollering. 271 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.120 And let me tell you, I have never to this 272 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:13.240 day heard anything that's close to that. But it was unbelievable. 273 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:17.080 I mean there was multiple, multiple different creatures, which initially 274 00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:19.960 I just thought was just one, and it was echoing 275 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.320 throughout the place, and I actually had a special analysis 276 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:26.759 donet the audio, and there's the creature's sounds ranged from 277 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.200 two hundred hurts all the way to two thousand hurts. 278 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.320 So that's far out of a range of a human. 279 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:35.440 So the next day came around, which was September twenty fourth, 280 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.879 twenty twenty, I go back out there and I'm walking around. 281 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:43.960 I'm looking, and I find a trackway from where this 282 00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:46.879 thing came down after I had left, I guess or 283 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:50.080 some time early that morning, and walked through that area 284 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:53.279 and I'm six six and I could not do a stride. 285 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:56.240 What was the stride between those tracks?

And I'm just like, oh my gosh, this 373 00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:37.160 thing is going to step out from behind this tree, 374 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:38.720 and I don't know what's going to happen now. This 375 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.119 one was a lot closer than my first experience. This 376 00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:44.319 my first experience one, it was about seventy yards away. 377 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:45.599 This one was about thirty. 378 00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:48.039 Hey guys, I get it. 379 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:50.039 Ads suck. 380 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:54.960 I paid to get rid of ads on YouTube and 381 00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:58.720 some of my other favorite podcasts. My four dollars a 382 00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:04.359 month tier gets you an ad free listing experience, and 383 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.400 for my listeners, it's only used to using Patreon. Let 384 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.559 me fig you in on Supercast. In my opinion, Supercast 385 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.839 beats Patreon hands down. With Patreon, you got to go 386 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:21.039 to a third party site to listen to content when 387 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:24.839 all of us are already on Apple, Spotify, Podbeam and 388 00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:30.440 all these other podcast players to consume our content. With Supercast, 389 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:34.039 you go there, you sign up, and then you link 390 00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:39.079 your favorite podcast player, and then you consume my content. 391 00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:43.640 On your favorite podcast player on a private feed, so 392 00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:46.799 you can listen to my member's only content right there 393 00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:51.559 on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you consume your other favorite content. 394 00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:56.160 But supercast also operates like Patreon. It is its own 395 00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:01.559 social media platform. It has messaging boards as video content, 396 00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:06.599 and all the features that Patreon offers. Also, the only difference, 397 00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:10.079 which is a big difference, is that the audio episodes 398 00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:14.680 are synced to your favorite podcast player. So come on 399 00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:19.880 over to supercast dot com, more specifically Prometheus Lens dot 400 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:24.640 supercast dot com and sign up and experience the difference. 401 00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:29.359
