Speaker 1: You're listening to Big for Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron.
Speaker 1: In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to
Speaker 1: bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've
Speaker 1: seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers
Speaker 1: to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,
Speaker 1: and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.
Speaker 1: These are the voices of the people who've lived it.
Speaker 1: To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that
Speaker 1: just might change the way you see the woods forever.
Speaker 1: So stay with us, all right, Big for Society. You've
Speaker 1: got the privilege of talking to Greg from the Cryptozoology
Speaker 1: YouTube channel today and that's with a k at the beginning.
Speaker 1: We'll have that linked in the show notes for sure.
Speaker 1: Greg is a documentary filmmaker from Pennsylvania. He's got a
Speaker 1: degree in Electronic media and film and he's also a
Speaker 1: member of the Screen Actors Guild, which is pretty cool,
Speaker 1: and he's been documenting his Bigfoot related experiences all around
Speaker 1: the mid Atlantic region. I've been wanting to have Greg
Speaker 1: on the show for a while. We're finally able to
Speaker 1: get him on the show.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 1: So how are you doing today, Greg?
Speaker 2: Oh great, Jeremy, I thank you so much for having
Speaker 2: me on. Absolutely, yeah, I guess I guess I'll just
Speaker 2: start in a West Virginia. That's kind of where actually
Speaker 2: I had my first experience, uh a number of years ago.
Speaker 2: And this is actually before I was really even into
Speaker 2: cryptozoology or anything of the like. And I was actually
Speaker 2: I was visiting a friend out in like I said,
Speaker 2: like the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, and so I
Speaker 2: was coming back and this deer cut cut in front
Speaker 2: of me, and it was really bizarre just because like
Speaker 2: I've driven you know, you know, thousands of miles of
Speaker 2: back roads and never never really had too many you
Speaker 2: know deer, you know, wild turkey kind of cut out
Speaker 2: in front of me, and you know the so the
Speaker 2: deer crosses the road and then uh, there's there's a
Speaker 2: predator following it and it had it looked like it
Speaker 2: was like a dog like like just like almost looked
Speaker 2: like a wild dog. And so I really kind of
Speaker 2: you know, looked into this subject and it's I know,
Speaker 2: it's kind of crazy, but there's actually been hyena sightings
Speaker 2: like in North America, and I I kind of I
Speaker 2: looked into this and there's there's actually like Hyaena sightings
Speaker 2: in like West Virginia a lot, and it because it
Speaker 2: didn't really fit into that category of being a dog
Speaker 2: or like a coyote or a wolf, and it just
Speaker 2: had these like large, like large haunches and it looked
Speaker 2: at me and then just continued to pursue the deer.
Speaker 2: And I had always had, like, you know, some interest
Speaker 2: in you know the macabre, you know, with like Arthur C.
Speaker 2: Clark's and a serious world and so on, you know,
Speaker 2: watching that back in the nineties when I was a kid,
Speaker 2: and to really to have something like so weird like
Speaker 2: dash out in front of me, it really kind of
Speaker 2: changed my whole like paradigm for you know, what what's
Speaker 2: possible and what can exist. And so I did like
Speaker 2: a little bit of research. And I'm not sure if
Speaker 2: you're familiar with it. It's called the shunka wall rackn Yes,
Speaker 2: in yes, yeah, yeah, that's in like I believe Montana,
Speaker 2: like out towards you know, more like the Pacific Northwest,
Speaker 2: and you know, it was it was known as like
Speaker 2: a predator that carried carried off dogs like that was
Speaker 2: kind of the nickname for it, and having having seen
Speaker 2: this thing really kind of you know, blew my mind
Speaker 2: like that, like what, you know, what is what is
Speaker 2: happening out here? This This was like maybe like two
Speaker 2: thousand and eight, and so I really didn't have like
Speaker 2: that developed of an interest in cryptozoology. And it wasn't
Speaker 2: really untill like almost like the twenty tens with like
Speaker 2: you know, finding Bigfoot and like things like that and
Speaker 2: kind of Sasquatch you know, chronicles like you know, kind
Speaker 2: of blowing up. I was like, oh, okay, this is
Speaker 2: subject is like kind of kind of interesting. And so
Speaker 2: I had my I actually had some experiences in Maryland.
Speaker 2: I actually I used to live in Maryland for moving
Speaker 2: back to PA. And so there's the in Maryland, there's
Speaker 2: the goat Man. That's the that's kind of like you know,
Speaker 2: I lived like near like you know, kind of southern
Speaker 2: near Napolis, Maryland, and that's like a really really famous
Speaker 2: you know area for you know, sightings of the goat man.
Speaker 2: And you know, really I looked into the whole area
Speaker 2: and actually the whole that Governor's Bridge Road right now
Speaker 2: is actually shut down and it's been like repeatedly shut
Speaker 2: down and you know, first time, I believe it was
Speaker 2: like the bridge actually just got washed out. But the
Speaker 2: second time, like a like a tractor trailer like was
Speaker 2: trying to get through there, like they rebuilt the bridge
Speaker 2: and everything and so and it's still been shut down
Speaker 2: so like all along there for like the past ten
Speaker 2: or fifteen years, you know, where where Goatman is like
Speaker 2: reportedly like the sightings, it's all been shut down for
Speaker 2: like almost like two decades, which is like super crazy.
Speaker 2: And so I I have a friend and so she
Speaker 2: actually kind of like lives over in that area, and
Speaker 2: she so we were like camp kind of camping outside
Speaker 2: that type of thing, and like it was it just
Speaker 2: it's it started to rain right like it So it
Speaker 2: was like a normal, normal night and then like out
Speaker 2: of nowhere, this like large like sigh like came came
Speaker 2: from the woods. Like you know, it just it was
Speaker 2: like someone like a like a giant like almost like
Speaker 2: a like a like a bear or something. But there's
Speaker 2: absolutely there's no bears that are in like in this
Speaker 2: area in like southern Maryland, like they've been like extirpated
Speaker 2: for like decades, and and so so like you know,
Speaker 2: I talked around to her neighbors, and yeah, the neighbors
Speaker 2: said that you know, they uh they saw like red
Speaker 2: eyes at eight eight feet in the in the area,
Speaker 2: and like also that a neighbor said that, you know,
Speaker 2: they there was a goose that actually got caught in
Speaker 2: her fence and she heard these like large footsteps like
Speaker 2: like bound across the area and and it grabbed that
Speaker 2: that goose that was like stuck in the fence. And
Speaker 2: another another person she reported that there was you know,
Speaker 2: she felt like she was being like there's there's like
Speaker 2: fishing spots down there, and and she felt like there
Speaker 2: was she was being followed, and she had this really
Speaker 2: creepy feeling like it was a real, real, real bizarre
Speaker 2: experience for her. And so that in terms of that area,
Speaker 2: you know, I feel like a lot of people are
Speaker 2: kind of like mislabeling you know, goat man and and
Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, like that's that's like a
Speaker 2: common occurrence, you know, in terms of like the same
Speaker 2: you know, the Jersey Devil and things like that, like
Speaker 2: people just put like a different name like a local
Speaker 2: colloquialism for uh, you know, for Bigfoot. And I think
Speaker 2: in Maryland, like you know, Bigfoot can really just be
Speaker 2: called like goat man. So I guess to keep keep
Speaker 2: on moving on, you know, with with my experiences in Maryland.
Speaker 2: There's there's a really amazing park it's called Calvert Cliffs
Speaker 2: and that's that's that. That's more. That's more in southern
Speaker 2: Maryland also, and my daughter and I were actually we
Speaker 2: would visit there. This you know, this this is still
Speaker 2: kind of like before you know, I was really doing
Speaker 2: anything with like you know, cryptozoology or anything of the like.
Speaker 2: And you know, we were walking like through the park
Speaker 2: and it was it was like a weird time because
Speaker 2: like most people already gone back to school, so it
Speaker 2: was like it was like early like late fall and
Speaker 2: I'm sorry early fall like late summer. And there was
Speaker 2: like a porter potty there and I it was it's
Speaker 2: a long walk. Like Calvert Cliffs is known for its
Speaker 2: like shark teeth, its fossils, so it's like a real
Speaker 2: like really unique area. And so we're walking back and uh,
Speaker 2: you know, I had to stop and use there's like
Speaker 2: a porter potty there, and you know that you know,
Speaker 2: they had that usually like porter potties have those like
Speaker 2: spring loaded like doors, and it as soon as like
Speaker 2: that happened. We had a response like across this bog
Speaker 2: of like two knocks, like two wood knocks, and it
Speaker 2: was like this it was just like the strangest, strangest
Speaker 2: thing that's like ever happened to us. And like even
Speaker 2: even my daughter like looked at me and was like,
Speaker 2: you know, what is that? Right? It was just like really,
Speaker 2: you know, kind of like bizarre, bizarre experience. And I
Speaker 2: guess also with Maryland also, like there's also I guess
Speaker 2: in terms of cryptozoology in general, there's plenty of Chessea
Speaker 2: sightings like in the area, So Chessa is basically kind
Speaker 2: of like you know, the Locke Monster of the Chesapeake
Speaker 2: Bay and what I've what I've discovered, Like you know,
Speaker 2: there's there's been local sightings like Tapsco I'm sorry, Fort
Speaker 2: Smallwood State Park and that's on the Potapsco that's on
Speaker 2: the Potapsco River. And then also uh near like more
Speaker 2: near the Magothee River, which is like kind of more
Speaker 2: southernly Maryland, and you know there's there's been report like
Speaker 2: report sightings, not necessarily like on the eastern or I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: the western shore of Maryland, but like further south, like
Speaker 2: more towards like the Potomac and of like baby like
Speaker 2: kind of like estuary baby chessea sightings, which is really
Speaker 2: like really wild, just thinking that like, you know, these
Speaker 2: things are you developing like in you know, like a
Speaker 2: estuary somewhere of you know, of you know, the United States.
Speaker 2: So that's that's just basically my time in Maryland when
Speaker 2: I saw and there's also been report sightings like near Antietam,
Speaker 2: and I've been thinking about going out out there just
Speaker 2: to kind of explore, you know, what's what's kind of
Speaker 2: the situation out there. I guess moving moving on the
Speaker 2: like Pennsylvania, I mean I feel like p A. P
Speaker 2: A is just this large, you know, crazy tract of
Speaker 2: land with uh basically has like four four million acres
Speaker 2: of like public land that are really you know that
Speaker 2: gets really wild out there. And it's it's sometimes when
Speaker 2: you're in like you know, Sproul State Forests and Susquehanna
Speaker 2: State Forest, like you're it's not like you're standing on
Speaker 2: a mountain by yourself. You're standing basically like on a
Speaker 2: on like a mountain ridge by yourself. And so so basically,
Speaker 2: you know, having originally been from Pa growing up here,
Speaker 2: that area kind of like north of like State College,
Speaker 2: PA was always just kind of like a mystery to me.
Speaker 2: And in addition to you know, basically there's two point
Speaker 2: two million acres of state forests in PA. There's about
Speaker 2: one and a half million acres of game lands, and
Speaker 2: there's three hundred thousand acres of state parks, and then
Speaker 2: you know, half a million acres for the Allegay National Forest.
Speaker 2: So you're talking about almost like four million, four million
Speaker 2: acres that you know, people can really get lost in.
Speaker 2: And it's it's almost basically, you know, my research area
Speaker 2: is almost basically the size of Connecticut with the population
Speaker 2: of like you know, maybe fifth you know, fifty thousand
Speaker 2: people or something. I mean, really nobody lives like in
Speaker 2: these areas. It's probably even less than that. And so
Speaker 2: basically with the state game lands in Pennsylvania, i mean,
Speaker 2: the hunting seasons like so small that so for three
Speaker 2: cores three cours of the year, you know, basically these
Speaker 2: like state game lands are just completely like unoccupied. And
Speaker 2: I've learned that like a lot of I mean even
Speaker 2: more recently there's been sightings out of the area near
Speaker 2: near State College that believe it's the state game lands
Speaker 2: like three p thirty three and they you know, there's
Speaker 2: been reword settings of a big foot near a fish estuary.
Speaker 2: So basically, I guess the past maybe two years or so.
Speaker 2: Really since twenty twenty three, that's when you know, I
Speaker 2: really kind of got my got my channel together because
Speaker 2: I was kind of getting h I was getting headaches
Speaker 2: from watching people you know, on YouTube use their use
Speaker 2: their camera phone to uh to make you know, like
Speaker 2: crypto Crypto's woldy videos. And I thought I could kind
Speaker 2: of just give it a little bit more of a
Speaker 2: kind of finished product. So I guess really where I
Speaker 2: started was in this little town called cross Forks, PA.
Speaker 2: So cross Forks, PA, that's that's near the Hammersley Wild Area,
Speaker 2: which is like basically the largest area in PA that
Speaker 2: that has no roads. So it's about like fifty fifty
Speaker 2: square miles of no roads that you can you know,
Speaker 2: just really enjoy yourself and kind of you know, these
Speaker 2: real backcountry trails that you know, you're not really interrupted
Speaker 2: in and you know there's there's timber, rattlesnakes, and also
Speaker 2: in this area. Back in the I think it was
Speaker 2: the nineteen twenties, after the last Woodland elk was actually
Speaker 2: shot in PA. They were imported from Colorado. So there's
Speaker 2: actually a heard of like fourteen hundred elk in north
Speaker 2: central PA. And you know, so a lot of them
Speaker 2: go to like these different wild areas that you know,
Speaker 2: are not particularly populated or don't don't have many visitors too.
Speaker 2: And so because I went to the Hamardsley Wild Area,
Speaker 2: it was it was just a good experience and kind
Speaker 2: of like you know, learning how to make like a
Speaker 2: proper narrative, like you know, I mean the first couple
Speaker 2: of videos I made, I like I literally got like
Speaker 2: lost in the woods and like I was still trying
Speaker 2: to get my bearings. And I feel like now I
Speaker 2: have a little bit more of a better better understanding of,
Speaker 2: you know, how how to you know, kind of shoot
Speaker 2: a video but not not get lost. So so since
Speaker 2: so since I was in Sporal and State Farest there's
Speaker 2: you know, these areas they're like I said, they're really
Speaker 2: you know, super rural. You know, Pas the only state.
Speaker 2: You know, PA's number three in terms of public land size,
Speaker 2: so only behind like Alaska and California. So you know,
Speaker 2: really when you go out to these areas, it's not
Speaker 2: even necessarily that you're just kind of worrying about like
Speaker 2: being within you know, the public state game lands or
Speaker 2: things like that, because there's a lot of private clubs
Speaker 2: up there too, which account for like large large swaths
Speaker 2: of area. And really, I guess, you know, my my
Speaker 2: most it's called a Ricketts Glen. That's that's that's one
Speaker 2: of my most famous videos, and it's where I kind
Speaker 2: of started, uh you know, with my channel. And basically
Speaker 2: I went to the I went to like the visitor
Speaker 2: center because I was actually I was going to camp
Speaker 2: in the park that night. And you know, I see
Speaker 2: this like you know, magnet hanging up that says, you
Speaker 2: know that uh there's gonna there's you know, Bigfoot might
Speaker 2: actually find you or something at uh at Ricketts Glen
Speaker 2: State State Park. You know. So it's like there's like
Speaker 2: a PA state government, you know, just uh you know
Speaker 2: magnet that that that approves that, like, you know, Bigfoot exists,
Speaker 2: you know. So I asked, I asked the visitor center,
Speaker 2: you know, lady there, and she said that like, yeah,
Speaker 2: there had been a reported Sasquatch nest in Rickets Glen,
Speaker 2: and you know, I basically it was like almost like
Speaker 2: a four mile trek through there, and I mean I
Speaker 2: saw like kind of like a low, low lying like
Speaker 2: tree that had like kind of like a i don't know,
Speaker 2: like a reinforced like lower limb, but nothing I saw that,
Speaker 2: you know, kind of really said that there was like
Speaker 2: a nest in the area. But it just really I
Speaker 2: just found it really curious that like, yeah, there's like
Speaker 2: a state sponsored like a magnet that said, you know,
Speaker 2: you might you might view you know, looking for Bigfoot
Speaker 2: at rickets Gun State Park. And that just really blew
Speaker 2: my mind. And so I've also been to there's uh
Speaker 2: like World's World's End State Park, which is uh that's
Speaker 2: that's also a North Central PA and there were there
Speaker 2: there have been sightings in the area. But I think
Speaker 2: the crazy part about that area is that there's like
Speaker 2: a it's almost like a plateau to it. And unfortunately,
Speaker 2: like I haven't gotten a drone yet, which I which
Speaker 2: I need to do, and I wish, I wish at
Speaker 2: the time I had a drone because like this plateau
Speaker 2: that's like above you know, where you know, most most
Speaker 2: of the people are that really like anything could be
Speaker 2: hiding up there, and it kind of has almost like
Speaker 2: these like cliff edge edges to it. It's it's basically
Speaker 2: where like kind of the Susquehanna River you know, kind
Speaker 2: of bled in through the Allegheny Plateau and yes, which
Speaker 2: is yeah, so it's really difficult to climb up these cliffs.
Speaker 2: I'm definitely next time to go there, I'm gonna definitely
Speaker 2: have a drone to like try and get up into
Speaker 2: these areas. And I guess my other video that I
Speaker 2: thought kind of peaued you know, the public's interest was
Speaker 2: I came across these like ice footprints at the like
Speaker 2: the PA the Pa Grand area area, and it was
Speaker 2: it was just so so odd because it was like
Speaker 2: late it was like late December, and you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know if a bear would still be like, you know,
Speaker 2: even up because like these these prints just like you
Speaker 2: could see the toes and like it just even if
Speaker 2: it was like a black bear double step, like, I
Speaker 2: don't know if it if it could be possible for
Speaker 2: it to be like as big as it was. So
Speaker 2: it's you know, like I said, it's in my catalog.
Speaker 2: It's a catalog of video. If people want to check.
Speaker 1: It out, can I can I ask for clarification for
Speaker 1: something for a minute.
Speaker 2: That happened in right, yeah, exactly. It it's called the
Speaker 2: Barber Barber Rock Trail. So it's on the north like
Speaker 2: the north end of the park there, and so I
Speaker 2: I shot up the video there, but I also shot
Speaker 2: U there's there's another there's another park on the on
Speaker 2: the where of the south end, and that was I
Speaker 2: had a little bit of like a smell in that area.
Speaker 2: And this is like I said, this is this was
Speaker 2: like twenty twenty three, you know, around Christmas time. There's
Speaker 2: there's absolutely nobody like nobody in the park. There's called
Speaker 2: Colton Point State Park. That's the that's that's the more
Speaker 2: southerly state park in in in in the Pine Creek
Speaker 2: in the Pie Grand Canyon area. And but but the
Speaker 2: footprint was was really of course I had just gotten
Speaker 2: a new a new camera and it has like a
Speaker 2: building gimbal with it and to like kind of stabilize
Speaker 2: the image, and so I was still like learning how
Speaker 2: to like properly like you know, filmed downwards with it,
Speaker 2: because it tries to like stay to like the horizon
Speaker 2: with with with gimbals just to try and like level
Speaker 2: out the But I got most I got most of
Speaker 2: the you know, of the image of the footprint, and
Speaker 2: and there was about like a four it was almost
Speaker 2: like a four foot span between you know, the footprints,
Speaker 2: and they were sixteen inches long and then about like
Speaker 2: I think it was about like five or six inches wide.
Speaker 2: So and I know like black bears in North central
Speaker 2: PA have actually they've actually shot black bears that are
Speaker 2: eight hundred pounds, so like you have to which are
Speaker 2: basically the size of grizzly bears, right, So you have
Speaker 2: to be you have to be real careful with like understanding,
Speaker 2: you know, kind of what you're what you're seeing. And
Speaker 2: I was actually I was blessed enough to actually communicate
Speaker 2: with doctor Jeff Malderum before he passed about about the
Speaker 2: ice ice footprint, and you know, I send them the
Speaker 2: images and uh, you know, he always told me to cash,
Speaker 2: you know, err on the side of caution. And unfortunately,
Speaker 2: like I didn't really have a I didn't make a
Speaker 2: cast of it, Like I didn't have any like uh,
Speaker 2: I didn't have any you know, flaster of Paris or
Speaker 2: I was actually trying to get into like possibly having
Speaker 2: like like a three D like image scanner for things.
Speaker 2: But I'm still I'm still working on that right now,
Speaker 2: but at least at least I had my my tape
Speaker 2: measure with me to like kind of properly, like you know,
Speaker 2: properly you measure things out just because you know, like
Speaker 2: on camera, like you have to, like you have to
Speaker 2: present some type of like standard, you know, with like
Speaker 2: a tape measure too, you know, to really like you know,
Speaker 2: kind of be like a litmus test for like what
Speaker 2: what the size of something is? You know, you can't
Speaker 2: because the human eye is like so so good at
Speaker 2: like you know, auto auto apturing things that like, you know,
Speaker 2: people one thing people don't realize with film is that
Speaker 2: you know, and that's why I shoot most of my
Speaker 2: stuff during the daytime, just because I mean if you
Speaker 2: look at like the Paul Freeman you'll get the Pat
Speaker 2: Patterson Gimlin films, Like they were all both during the daytime.
Speaker 2: So it's like I feel like, if there's ever going
Speaker 2: to be like another like any footage of this thing,
Speaker 2: it's going to be during the daytime because like I know,
Speaker 2: there's thermals out there, but like I feel like having
Speaker 2: a daytime slighting with with that you know, proper resolution
Speaker 2: to actually like see the creature. I think that'll hopefully
Speaker 2: lend more credence to like, you know, to it being
Speaker 2: like a like a real, real you know animal that
Speaker 2: that hopefully gets recognized. So I think having gone from
Speaker 2: like Ricketts Glenn Uh, I'm sorry, the pi a Grand Canyon,
Speaker 2: I you know, I've also been to, like I said,
Speaker 2: north Central PA, which has the Susquehannack Uh State Forests
Speaker 2: and the Sprawl State Forest, which kind of like merge
Speaker 2: into like their own like national for stuff there. And
Speaker 2: so basically I would I would go to like old
Speaker 2: like hunting lodges just to like speak to, you know,
Speaker 2: like the locals, just see if like if there's any
Speaker 2: like just just anything, you know, and just be like, oh,
Speaker 2: you know, like because you know I was, I would
Speaker 2: kind of stick out like a sore thumb, you know,
Speaker 2: not really like a like a big kind of hunting guy,
Speaker 2: you know, and like you know, I'm not really wearing
Speaker 2: camo or anything. And you know, and I respect hunters.
Speaker 2: I love hunters. They're they're wonderful. They're the only people
Speaker 2: I see when I'm when I'm looking for bigfoot, and uh,
Speaker 2: and so you know, I just kind of like, you know, shoot,
Speaker 2: to shoot with them, and they would always tell me,
Speaker 2: you know, I had a I had a bartender who
Speaker 2: was telling me this these experiences her husband was having.
Speaker 2: And it's down near like snow. So we're approaching like
Speaker 2: these areas that you know, the BFR has been listing.
Speaker 2: There was the uh you know recently there's the uh
Speaker 2: you know Sasquatch that crossed Route eighty there, I think
Speaker 2: it was mark mile mark around like once and I
Speaker 2: actually I shot a video there at it's called the
Speaker 2: Baldi Baldeagle State Park. And that area, like it is
Speaker 2: like super rural, like there's there's actually in town near there.
Speaker 2: There's there's a local barbecue place that's called like a
Speaker 2: big Foot Blazing Barbecue. So like the whole like the
Speaker 2: whole area has like this like local local culture of
Speaker 2: like something kind of being in the area. And you know,
Speaker 2: so her husband was just telling you about how, you know,
Speaker 2: he had seen something while he was hunting, got freaked
Speaker 2: out and left and this, and then another time like
Speaker 2: it was it was like later at night, and because
Speaker 2: there's there's so many like thunderbird sightings like in this
Speaker 2: north central part of PA that they had also come
Speaker 2: across you know, like a large it was a large
Speaker 2: bird and it was at dusk and like it completely
Speaker 2: freaked this hunter out. So I really I've also I've
Speaker 2: also read like plenty of books there's it's called like
Speaker 2: the Pennsylvania Stories and more Pennsylvania Stories. But I believe
Speaker 2: his name is Henry Shoemaker. I mean this was written
Speaker 2: in like the nineteen twenties or so, but it has
Speaker 2: a lot of like listed events with you know, different
Speaker 2: events happening you know in in like the Sprowl State
Speaker 2: Forest and this and the Susquehanna State Forest in terms
Speaker 2: of thunderbirds. So I mean there's just like I said,
Speaker 2: it's it's such like a like a wild and untamed
Speaker 2: area that like, uh yeah, you could you could hide
Speaker 2: a dinosaur up there and nobody would know. And so
Speaker 2: basically when I was shooting my video for for Bigfoot
Speaker 2: near near Snowshoe, I came across like a there was
Speaker 2: like a this old like abandoned like it was like
Speaker 2: a railway trail and like this like are like four
Speaker 2: x four quad club had like kind of commandeered it
Speaker 2: but not fully, and like the bridge was out like
Speaker 2: the bridge like you know, if you go to Google Maps,
Speaker 2: like Google Maps that says like like it's okay, and
Speaker 2: it's it's not okay. Like the bridge is completely like
Speaker 2: like half demolished. And so I'm I'm traveling down you know,
Speaker 2: the path on this old abandoned like quad club trail,
Speaker 2: and you know, I see these like large like footprints.
Speaker 2: It's under my video called Sasquatch Colt, and I basically
Speaker 2: I came across these like weird like runic like somebody
Speaker 2: create these like weird runic tablet things on the side
Speaker 2: of the road. I was really like, I thank god
Speaker 2: I had like bear sprang when I grew out, because
Speaker 2: like it's you know, I was in this like it
Speaker 2: was almost like a like a valley, like a little
Speaker 2: like valley. So if like anybody was going to like
Speaker 2: ambush me, like this was like the place to do it.
Speaker 2: And so I'm like, you know, kind of like walking
Speaker 2: down this like trail like all by myself, and I
Speaker 2: come across these like weird you know, like runic symbol
Speaker 2: things I saw that just kept on going, but like
Speaker 2: like across the trail, you know, because it had like
Speaker 2: lightly snowed where these like you know like six like
Speaker 2: sixteen inch like footprints dashing across the trail so like
Speaker 2: and and like I said, it was like I think
Speaker 2: it was early January. So with it with it being
Speaker 2: like a bear, I don't know, like I don't know
Speaker 2: if a bear is going to be out in early January.
Speaker 2: And and there were deer. There were deer in the area,
Speaker 2: so it was, uh, you know, it was very like
Speaker 2: you know, humbling experience, just because I guess I was
Speaker 2: in an area that I was actually using snow shoes
Speaker 2: because like the area like had gotten so kind of rough,
Speaker 2: and it was like the only way that I could
Speaker 2: really hopefully get back to uh like you get back
Speaker 2: back to my car, you know, from from where this
Speaker 2: area was. Yeah, And like I said, the area is
Speaker 2: called like Renault Renovo, Pa, which is it's it's in
Speaker 2: the dead middle of like nowhere. And if you go
Speaker 2: to like it's called like lock if you go from
Speaker 2: like lock Haven to like Emporium off like I believe
Speaker 2: it's one twenty there, like Renovo's like in the center
Speaker 2: of it, and it you know, like like when you
Speaker 2: go this town, it's it's just like it's it's like
Speaker 2: a it's almost like a like a ghost town. It's
Speaker 2: it's like really abandoned over the years. And so in
Speaker 2: addition to like you know the big foot sightings and
Speaker 2: like thumbered thunderbird sightings, I also wanted to like I
Speaker 2: also trying to do like classical like extinct species and
Speaker 2: so there I'm not sure if you're familiar with like
Speaker 2: you know the Kinna State like football team, the Knittney
Speaker 2: Lyon Absolutely well they yeah, they So they actually get
Speaker 2: their name from you know these like you know theoretical
Speaker 2: like mountain lions that existed in that area of PA.
Speaker 2: That potentially because all these species were all like extirpated,
Speaker 2: you know, the like I said, the woodland elk, the
Speaker 2: the bison. There was woodland bison. There were past there
Speaker 2: passenger pigeon flocks of like three billion, three or four
Speaker 2: billion that used to blot out the sun like during
Speaker 2: the daytime, and we actually we hunted them all to extinction.
Speaker 2: And because you know, people found the meat, like the
Speaker 2: of the passenger pigeon there to be you know, tasty.
Speaker 2: So that's that's one of the reasons that that was
Speaker 2: basically killed to extinction. And so because you know, the
Speaker 2: nitty lions kind of are in that area in like
Speaker 2: Sprouse State Forest. I followed this like old it was
Speaker 2: called like the Panther Tower, the Panther Trail through there,
Speaker 2: and basically there used to there used to be like
Speaker 2: a lot of fire towers and PA and a lot
Speaker 2: of them have been actually just like taken down. And
Speaker 2: you know, they had these names from like you know,
Speaker 2: maybe you know fifty sixty, seventy years ago, because potentially,
Speaker 2: like you know, even a hundred years ago, there was
Speaker 2: still mountain lions in PA. And I mean even up
Speaker 2: until recently, there was the mountain lion that move went
Speaker 2: from like I think it was like North Dakota to Connecticut.
Speaker 2: So my theory was, like, you know, did this did
Speaker 2: this mountain lion even did it kind of come through
Speaker 2: north central PA to get to Connecticut? And I didn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't see any signs of mountain lions. But I
Speaker 2: swear whenever I'm looking for like thunderbirds or mount lines, like,
Speaker 2: I always come across like weird, weird like big foot stuff.
Speaker 2: Like the trail that I had to kind of go through,
Speaker 2: it was it was like all like all crashed in
Speaker 2: like there looked like something had you know, thrown down
Speaker 2: like and put x's on the trail, so I didn't
Speaker 2: like that was more like kind of the western part
Speaker 2: of this this trail, and I just headed east because
Speaker 2: that's kind of I was. I was looking for the
Speaker 2: panther tower in this and so you know, continually, even
Speaker 2: even while I'm like still looking for you know, other species,
Speaker 2: like like Bigfoot still kind of like kind of sticks
Speaker 2: his foot in there, and like, you know, still there's
Speaker 2: still weird signs that kind of you can kind of
Speaker 2: exist here and there I've also been to so there
Speaker 2: used to be like it I believe it was like
Speaker 2: an old like nuclear or missile testing range in north
Speaker 2: central PA. And it was called it's called the Khana
Speaker 2: Wild Area. And so if if you look at a
Speaker 2: map of Pa, you can even see it on Google Maps.
Speaker 2: It's it's a there's a perfect circle like in in
Speaker 2: central Pa of like I guess the state brought back
Speaker 2: the land like from this like nuclear facility. And it's
Speaker 2: just so bizarre. And so so there was like in
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty five there was like a terrible tornado that
Speaker 2: actually like blew through this area, and it's just it's
Speaker 2: just so bizarre, Like just looking on a map and
Speaker 2: just seeing like a like you know, maps are usually
Speaker 2: just more natural, but but seeing like an actual like
Speaker 2: circle like on you know, in the in the PA
Speaker 2: like you know, fares system, You're like, you're just like,
Speaker 2: what what is going on? And so so that that
Speaker 2: area that can can have a lot area. I've been
Speaker 2: through there and you know, there's there's some some trails
Speaker 2: that are pretty pretty cool in terms of you know,
Speaker 2: being wild, and a lot a lot in that area.
Speaker 2: That's where there's a lot like elk like elk viewing area.
Speaker 2: And so while I was shooting one of my videos,
Speaker 2: you know, I it was like a terrible windy day,
Speaker 2: it was snowy out, Like I was the only person
Speaker 2: like at at these like elk viewing areas. And they're
Speaker 2: basically like reclaim reclaim land the state bought just because
Speaker 2: they were like they were strip mined, and so they
Speaker 2: reclaimed the land and now elk are able to like
Speaker 2: actually like live, you know, and kind of thrive on this.
Speaker 2: But during the wintertime, of course, you know, most animals
Speaker 2: kind of go into the trees and start to start
Speaker 2: even eating like you know, some type of sticks and
Speaker 2: brushes and that type of thing. But when I was there.
Speaker 2: There was like like so I shut my door, and
Speaker 2: then like a couple of seconds later, I heard like
Speaker 2: a wood knock in the valley in the distance. It
Speaker 2: was just like it just blew my mind like that,
Speaker 2: like you know, like I don't even think. I don't
Speaker 2: think I had the camera running at that time, and
Speaker 2: I think I feel like I've had other experiences like
Speaker 2: that where like like and I'm conscious of it now,
Speaker 2: but like when I first go to the area, like
Speaker 2: I'm always like I always turned my camera on before,
Speaker 2: like I shut my door, because I've I've definitely had
Speaker 2: like some some responses like when whenever I close my door,
Speaker 2: I guess I slammed my door kind of hard, and
Speaker 2: they I've heard woodknocks definitely in the distance, I guess.
Speaker 2: Another another example is that it was so also in
Speaker 2: north central PA. It's called the Kettle Creek State Park,
Speaker 2: and that is like, you know, it's it's a phenomenal.
Speaker 2: It's it's one of the tributaries to the Susquehanna River.
Speaker 2: And you know, in addition to like the the elk,
Speaker 2: the buffalo, and the passenger pigeons before the dams were
Speaker 2: erected throughout you know throughout the state, harbor seals actually
Speaker 2: used to like to swim like all the way really
Speaker 2: into like deep north central PA. And so they were
Speaker 2: they were given the nickname the Kettle Creek Monster. So
Speaker 2: I was just I was just kind of filming that video,
Speaker 2: and I just I was going to get some b
Speaker 2: roll because I had, like a I have like another
Speaker 2: camera too, it's more of like a long distance camera,
Speaker 2: and like you know, once again, I just like I
Speaker 2: shut my door. I think I was like filming. I
Speaker 2: was just filming birds. There are some you know, really
Speaker 2: beautiful ducks that were on the creek there, and like
Speaker 2: I shut my door, and then off in the distance,
Speaker 2: I heard like a I heard like a wood knock,
Speaker 2: and like for me, the question is like if it's
Speaker 2: a hunter, Like it's not an echo because it's just
Speaker 2: it's it happens usually too too long afterwards, and like,
Speaker 2: you know, why would like a why would a hunter
Speaker 2: be like firing off a gun like in response to
Speaker 2: my like door, you know, slamming. So like that's that's
Speaker 2: kind of my my only explanation for in that area.
Speaker 2: So I guess moving on to even more places, there's
Speaker 2: also the like Cinema Honing like State Park. I know,
Speaker 2: like you know a lot of like those the Bigfoot
Speaker 2: Society guys, like they kind of go up into that area.
Speaker 2: And I've been in that area too, like actually actually
Speaker 2: shot a video that was actually on top of the dam,
Speaker 2: you know, and and a lot of these like parks,
Speaker 2: it's like they're really like you know, like they're really forgotten.
Speaker 2: Near like Boston, PA. There's like an old dam that
Speaker 2: like blew out, so it looks like, you know, you
Speaker 2: go there, it's almost looks like it's like Lord of
Speaker 2: the Rings and you're like, you know, like there's nobody
Speaker 2: else around. You're you have these like giant like earthworks projects,
Speaker 2: and you're just kind of like, you know, you can
Speaker 2: literally walk on this dam and just you know, just
Speaker 2: really beautiful you know, clear water and you know, no
Speaker 2: pollution in this area. But I guess also so I
Speaker 2: guess going back to like the State Game Lands, like
Speaker 2: so State there's that sighting at that fish Estuary, which
Speaker 2: I believe it was like State Inlands like three thirty three,
Speaker 2: and that that was like in March of like this
Speaker 2: past year. And you know, I had actually shot like
Speaker 2: a like a video like earlier. You know, THEO was
Speaker 2: two years ago where there had been you know, like
Speaker 2: previous also other bigfoot crossings off the I eighty cardor so.
Speaker 2: So basically I feel like like north of like in PA,
Speaker 2: like north of like the I eighty corridor, like it's
Speaker 2: it can really get like like it's really wild right
Speaker 2: and like and super like super unpopulated. And and for me,
Speaker 2: it's like my question is are these creatures are they
Speaker 2: do they want like do they want the attention? Do
Speaker 2: they want you know, do they want like do they
Speaker 2: want to be near us? So I still haven't really
Speaker 2: figured that out. And you know in this area, like
Speaker 2: if you you know, near the Bald Eagle like State
Speaker 2: Park and State Game Lands three thirty three, you know,
Speaker 2: you kind of go between like you know, like mountains
Speaker 2: that are that are forested and then and then like
Speaker 2: farms in the valleys and then mountains in the forest
Speaker 2: and then you know, like farms in the valleys. And
Speaker 2: so it's like it would be like perfect terrain for
Speaker 2: an animal to like you know, kind of hide at
Speaker 2: night in the woods or hide during the day during
Speaker 2: the woods and then come down at night to like
Speaker 2: to steal food, you know, from like a local you know, farmer,
Speaker 2: and so there's there's definitely like this like it's definitely
Speaker 2: this like Goldilock Zone of like hey, there's like potentially
Speaker 2: like a food source for these creatures and you know
Speaker 2: they have like a they have like a place to hide.
Speaker 2: I guess. Going further south, like I've also been to
Speaker 2: like it's called Mecho State Park and like that's that's
Speaker 2: weird because I think it's actually like the northern Termus
Speaker 2: of like almost the Blue Ridge Mountains. So and like
Speaker 2: it's weird because like outside of it, like it's not
Speaker 2: there's really no like there's no mountains, so it's it's
Speaker 2: this little island in the sky and there's been like
Speaker 2: lots of uh more. I shot one of my first
Speaker 2: videos there and that was like one of you know,
Speaker 2: uh you know like a really really special special spot.
Speaker 2: You know. I guess in terms of like you know,
Speaker 2: more more areas and pa I've also been into like
Speaker 2: the Delaware Delaware State Forest and uh that's kind of
Speaker 2: where like there's Promised Land State Park out there. There's
Speaker 2: also it's called like Egypt Meadows, and like Egypt Meadows
Speaker 2: is like kind of crazy because it's like you really
Speaker 2: like I have a garment. I have like like GPS
Speaker 2: like search and Rescue insurance just because like when you
Speaker 2: when you go down on these trails like by yourself,
Speaker 2: like you have to just kind of be prepared for
Speaker 2: the worst. And it's not like a like a more
Speaker 2: like you know, kind of urban park where there's there's
Speaker 2: gonna be more people, you know, some of these some
Speaker 2: of these like you know, really kind of out there,
Speaker 2: like uh, you know, state parks like they yeah, they
Speaker 2: they're they're really like in the middle of like almost nowhere, right,
Speaker 2: and like they like they're they're very scarcely populated with
Speaker 2: other hikers and actually, like I actually like it's one
Speaker 2: of the few times I've I've gotten lost on a
Speaker 2: trail and actually turned back because it was like it
Speaker 2: was getting your dusk and like I was just like
Speaker 2: like there's there's no point in like like getting lost
Speaker 2: in the woods at nighttime and you know, something like
Speaker 2: something happening to you. So I think that's that's like
Speaker 2: a pretty good you know kind of examination of like
Speaker 2: you know, where where I've been in PA and I
Speaker 2: guess moving on to uh like so I've been to
Speaker 2: a lot of spots in New Jersey as well. Uh
Speaker 2: So basically, you know, one of the first videos I
Speaker 2: ever shot was the it's like the the the Jersey
Speaker 2: Devil of course, right, and so like Ocean Spray, that's
Speaker 2: like the Cranberry Company, they have like a lot of
Speaker 2: abandoned like cranberry bogs that are that are in in
Speaker 2: these areas. And so I was, you know, shooting my
Speaker 2: video and and I saw this like, you know, large
Speaker 2: extremely large bird like kind of fleeing in the distance.
Speaker 2: It was like a it's definitely like a crane. It
Speaker 2: wasn't it was even it was even like bigger than
Speaker 2: like a heron. And so I did it like a
Speaker 2: little bit of research deep dive into the area. And
Speaker 2: so like South Jersey, like the pine bearns they have,
Speaker 2: uh they have the sand hill crane, which actually migrates
Speaker 2: through there. But even like weirder and like like more
Speaker 2: more recent times, like in the nineties, there was a
Speaker 2: farmer like in upstate New York who actually imported these
Speaker 2: they're called Eurasian gray cranes, and they actually they got
Speaker 2: loose and they somehow, like I guess, found the sandhill
Speaker 2: crane population and started like in intermingling with them. So
Speaker 2: I actually like it's extremely I mean with my mind's eye,
Speaker 2: like I saw quite well, but you know with the
Speaker 2: camera I was using it at the time, it didn't
Speaker 2: like you can kind of see it, but it's like extremely,
Speaker 2: extremely in the distance. So you know, my my theory
Speaker 2: on the Jersey Devil is that you know, basically back
Speaker 2: in colonial times when you know, people were first coming
Speaker 2: to this country, you know, they were coming across like
Speaker 2: sand hill cranes, and they mistook it for the Jersey Devil.
Speaker 2: And it's kind of controversial and people will like you
Speaker 2: know kind of you know, really really put the paranormal
Speaker 2: side to things. But like I mean, the sandal cranes
Speaker 2: like they they avoid like they avoid humanity, like the plague.
Speaker 2: And like I was like, I mean I was maybe
Speaker 2: a quarter mile away from this thing and it took
Speaker 2: off and with these drained bogs, it's like you go
Speaker 2: in there. And I also shot another so I shot
Speaker 2: there was in the same kind of areas, Like there's
Speaker 2: like Brendan t Burn State Farce, which is part of
Speaker 2: the Pine Barrens. There was a report setting of you
Speaker 2: know Bigfoot, you know, by the side of the road.
Speaker 2: You know, there's some just like some person saw like
Speaker 2: like a juvenile bigfoot, and so I it was, you know,
Speaker 2: one of my early videos, and you know, I definitely
Speaker 2: like I captured some type of footprint and it looked
Speaker 2: like it treaded into the the like the bogs like
Speaker 2: in the swamps there. So like you know, because I
Speaker 2: really I feel like if these things are just you know,
Speaker 2: Bigfoot's like avoiding us, They're they're going to go to
Speaker 2: like you know, the most nasty places they can to
Speaker 2: avoid us. And and funny enough, like I was looking
Speaker 2: at the Google comments for like this this area where
Speaker 2: where I saw these like footprints and like just some
Speaker 2: like local Yokul was like he was like, oh this
Speaker 2: is oh, this is where you know, this is where
Speaker 2: Bigfoot hangs out. So my mom was like completely blown
Speaker 2: and and that's not my so basically moving more like
Speaker 2: towards the coast, you know there there have actually been
Speaker 2: like big foot settings like at the Jersey Shore, and
Speaker 2: I really I feel like this potentially maybe could be
Speaker 2: real because during like the wintertime, like there's nobody in
Speaker 2: some of these towns, like everybody kind of moves back
Speaker 2: to like you know, Philly or New York for the
Speaker 2: for the for the winter, and so like you know,
Speaker 2: I just had this like funny thought of like a
Speaker 2: of a big foot like treading through some like Jersey
Speaker 2: Beach town, you know, like with like nobody around. And
Speaker 2: so I went to it's called Double Trouble State Park.
Speaker 2: And so this basically like underneath the underneath the New
Speaker 2: Jersey Pine Barrens is like one of the largest like
Speaker 2: reservoirs in the world for like water. So it's even
Speaker 2: like so it's basically like these aquifers that are underground
Speaker 2: that are beating these like you know rivers through these
Speaker 2: like state parks like in in in the Pine Burns,
Speaker 2: and you know, it's like this really weird looking like
Speaker 2: tea colored uh tea colored like you know, kind of
Speaker 2: water to it. And I think that's actually like where
Speaker 2: I I think years prior, like I I think I
Speaker 2: wrote into you about a swamp dog in South Jersey
Speaker 2: and like the here, yeah, in the area that he
Speaker 2: was at, and so I kind of like I invested this,
Speaker 2: you know, this area just to kind of you know,
Speaker 2: see if there's any like you know, validity to it.
Speaker 2: And like you go back like in some of these
Speaker 2: like you know, like river areas, and it's it's really
Speaker 2: really like really Jurassic back there. You know, there's like
Speaker 2: sometimes there's like Spanish moss like hanging on the trees
Speaker 2: and things like that. Like it's real, like like real
Speaker 2: like real, real super wild area. And so I definitely,
Speaker 2: I definitely you could see how like they're in, especially
Speaker 2: in Sauce, Jersey, there could be you know, some type
Speaker 2: of like anything. But I guess starting to go a
Speaker 2: little bit further north, like through that it's called the
Speaker 2: Gateway National Recreation Area at Sandy Hook, and like what
Speaker 2: people just don't realize like even you know, like harbor
Speaker 2: seals like really they they winter like in like at
Speaker 2: the Jersey Shore. And I just thought it was like
Speaker 2: a funny idea of like you know, I know, it's
Speaker 2: not like it's not particularly encrypted, but like you know,
Speaker 2: just I feel like it kind of it could kind
Speaker 2: of blow people's minds just to like, you know, because
Speaker 2: I guess we have this like idea of like seals
Speaker 2: at least on the East coast being like you know,
Speaker 2: and you're like you know Nova Scotia or or you
Speaker 2: know Greenland or something. You know, so It's just like
Speaker 2: fun knowing that like, you know, these these kind of
Speaker 2: hit down here in the mid Atlantic, we can like
Speaker 2: we can go see seals. It's like the dead of
Speaker 2: winner too. It's usually like January or February. And but
Speaker 2: so I was going to like you know, kind of
Speaker 2: best seeing the area a little bit more. And there's
Speaker 2: definitely been a lot of like you know, sea creatures
Speaker 2: explained sea creatures in that Sandy Hook Bay area. And
Speaker 2: so there's a situation where there was these fishers, not
Speaker 2: a fishermen, but even just locals who they keep on
Speaker 2: reporting seeing a like a sea monster with it has
Speaker 2: like a bulldog face to it. And so it's like
Speaker 2: really weird that like specifically you people just keep on
Speaker 2: bringing up this like you know, kind of the sea
Speaker 2: sea creature that has this like same face every single time.
Speaker 2: I just I just found that interesting, you know, just
Speaker 2: with with having like the harbor seals in that area.
Speaker 2: But if you're further north, like in New Jersey, like
Speaker 2: you know, and getting towards almost the New York line.
Speaker 2: Basically the during the ice ages, the ice sheets, basically
Speaker 2: the southern terminus was like near like you know, North
Speaker 2: Jersey and southern southern New York. So what happened was
Speaker 2: like all that like earth and rocks and soils that
Speaker 2: were you know, when they were ground and push they
Speaker 2: most of them are actually pushed to like this area.
Speaker 2: So you have like a lot of areas with all
Speaker 2: these like I think they're called like radical boulders. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that are just kind of deposited because it was where
Speaker 2: like you know, like I said, the ice sheets had stopped.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I know David Plaiti's as the you know
Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of times when he has
Speaker 2: occurrences of people like missing, it's around like boulders, like
Speaker 2: like granite boulders and things like that. And it's just
Speaker 2: just funny that this, you know that these areas and
Speaker 2: like north North Jersey and like you know, southern New
Speaker 2: York have all these like you know, free radical boulders
Speaker 2: that you know, people potentially you know, or boulder fields
Speaker 2: that people potentially like have bigfoot bigfoot sightings. And yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean if you go to North Jersey, like you
Speaker 2: can actually just look it up on Google. It's called
Speaker 2: just taking a big Foot sculpture. And so I I
Speaker 2: don't even I think I just came across it randomly.
Speaker 2: So there's in near like I think it's called the
Speaker 2: wanna Que Reservoir. There's a trail out there, it's called
Speaker 2: the Sculpture Trail. And so you know, I'm walking around
Speaker 2: and you know this it's where I shot one of
Speaker 2: my videos and basically like this big Foot sculpture is
Speaker 2: atop this cave. And so there was another situation where
Speaker 2: like I definitely have to get a jerome because you know,
Speaker 2: when I was walking like near this cave, like I
Speaker 2: definitely like I was like above the cave like where
Speaker 2: the Bigfoot sculpture was, and this terrible smell was like
Speaker 2: emanating from it and like something was in there, and
Speaker 2: like I just did not want to like you know,
Speaker 2: just check it out and like see see what was
Speaker 2: going on. I guess with you know, with North Jersey,
Speaker 2: like the if you're I feel like if you're really
Speaker 2: if you're really serious about like trying to find like
Speaker 2: big Foot in the area, you know, the basically from
Speaker 2: like like the delwork App National Recreation as far as
Speaker 2: to like high Point State Park that's it's all part
Speaker 2: of like that it's called the kidd Tinny like mountain
Speaker 2: Range and like I feel like in terms of like
Speaker 2: you know, potentially where these creatures have been pushed to
Speaker 2: in New Jersey because there I shot a video. It
Speaker 2: was like where these diners were at this like restaurant
Speaker 2: that was like really like rural kind of like mountain
Speaker 2: kind of restaurant thing, and they're sitting there and they
Speaker 2: see these like too bigfoot like you know, kind of
Speaker 2: like a cross the field and like and and these
Speaker 2: couples are just sitting there and they're like looking at
Speaker 2: each other like are you seeing that? Like these you know,
Speaker 2: they're strangers, They're like are are you seeing that? And
Speaker 2: then like they're both looking at each other like oh
Speaker 2: my god, like what is this? Right? So I actually
Speaker 2: I shot a video at that way, and it's time
Speaker 2: I ever filled. I feel the film the like Little
Speaker 2: Baby Bear Cubs, which was like you know, you know,
Speaker 2: just fund finally finally see finally see a bear in
Speaker 2: the wild. And yeah, So that that area through uh
Speaker 2: you know, the bell Or Gap National Recreation Area to
Speaker 2: to high Point State Park. That's kind of like where
Speaker 2: like the Big Red Eyes known and that's that's like
Speaker 2: really famous for sightings. Uh. I tried to like mimic
Speaker 2: there was a sighting there where I believe it is
Speaker 2: it so so I guess like in PA and New Jersey,
Speaker 2: there's there's natural gas lines that run like from fracking
Speaker 2: and like so they almost they almost serve as like
Speaker 2: power lines. And there's been like a lot of like
Speaker 2: the poored sightings you know, near near gas lines, gas
Speaker 2: line clearings, and so there was a gentleman who was
Speaker 2: like riding a bicycle and I just wanted to mimic that,
Speaker 2: so I I just like strapped a camera like onto
Speaker 2: my bike, and you know, I was riding along and
Speaker 2: I didn't have I didn't I didn't have any experiences there,
Speaker 2: but I did have. So I was in it's called
Speaker 2: Stokes State Forest, which is just south of high Point
Speaker 2: State Park. And you know, more recently, I find I
Speaker 2: finally I finally started wood doing wood knocks, but because
Speaker 2: it like saves me a lot of walking, saves me
Speaker 2: a lot of like I feel like if there's any
Speaker 2: way of like maybe tricking the species into responding, Like
Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, like a wood knock is
Speaker 2: kind of anomenous, anonymous, whereas like if you're doing like
Speaker 2: a big foot, how it like, yeah, they can like
Speaker 2: they can. I feel like they can like understand the
Speaker 2: different difference in your vocal cords. And so I so
Speaker 2: I did like a I did like a just like
Speaker 2: a like just one or two knocks, and I just
Speaker 2: I had this like it was there's nobody, there's no
Speaker 2: one else in as far ast like I try and
Speaker 2: I always try and go to like State Parks on
Speaker 2: like a Tuesday or like a Wednesday, when there's like
Speaker 2: nobody there. I think I saw like one, one or
Speaker 2: two cars further down, which you know, these fishermen, and
Speaker 2: I had just this like I don't know how to
Speaker 2: describe it, but it was like a it was like
Speaker 2: a hellish like a hellish scream that like that came
Speaker 2: that came through like the forest, and it just it
Speaker 2: just sounded so like just so unnatural, you know, and
Speaker 2: like like just no, just it just didn't seem like
Speaker 2: something like a human, like a human could produce. And
Speaker 2: then also when I was in del work at National
Speaker 2: Recreation Area a little bit further south, that's when I've
Speaker 2: come with like I went there it was like God,
Speaker 2: it was like maybe a March or April, and it
Speaker 2: just snowed and so not to many people were there,
Speaker 2: and I think I had like I had my I've
Speaker 2: like kind of like snowshoes just to you kind of
Speaker 2: hike through kind of snowy areas. And I came across
Speaker 2: like there was someone had discarded their pants there, like
Speaker 2: you know, at like fifteen hundred feet, Like it was
Speaker 2: just real, like real, real scary stuff come across somewhere.
Speaker 2: I was done when I saw that. I just I
Speaker 2: just came back down because you know, especially like during
Speaker 2: you know, more like winter months when there's nobody out there.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it can it's it's one of
Speaker 2: the things where you know, when you go in the woods,
Speaker 2: like you have to you just have to be have
Speaker 2: your wits about you, and you know, it was it
Speaker 2: was really disturbing to find to find that I found
Speaker 2: even also a National Gap Recreation Area. There's actually like
Speaker 2: on the PA side, so it's the doll Or Gat
Speaker 2: National Recreation Area. It's on it's in PA and New
Speaker 2: Jersey and it kind of straddles the northern northern part
Speaker 2: of the Delaware River there, and like I came across
Speaker 2: like it was like you know, it was like April
Speaker 2: or something, and like something had killed and gutted a
Speaker 2: deer like off the trail. I mean, there's was there
Speaker 2: was a report setting like along that area like years ago,
Speaker 2: like truckers like used to like see you know they
Speaker 2: foot like you know by the side of the road
Speaker 2: at night time, like a family of bigfoot. So I
Speaker 2: definitely I definitely had to go to that area and
Speaker 2: try and check that out. You know, New Jersey's weird
Speaker 2: because it has like a lob of these like county
Speaker 2: and the state parks that are they're really like ginormous.
Speaker 2: Like there's the the Mainland Dickerson Park and I had
Speaker 2: a response back to a wood knock there, and you
Speaker 2: know it's it's not even like a state park, but
Speaker 2: I believe it's actually a county park, and so it's
Speaker 2: like really it's really like unvisited and it's near the
Speaker 2: Picotine Arsenal where all the beave it's all like the
Speaker 2: drone sightings were like you know, like last year, and
Speaker 2: like so it's it's like a real, like really really
Speaker 2: weird area. And so I actually had like a I
Speaker 2: had a response like to to a wood knock in
Speaker 2: the area, and I remember like there was there's definitely
Speaker 2: like an area that was like it's more like a
Speaker 2: brush kind of area that's like further further out, and
Speaker 2: like you know, I always trying to like be apprehensive
Speaker 2: in those areas because you know, if there's a bear,
Speaker 2: if it's like April or whatever, late March. I think
Speaker 2: the bears I saw like at you know, near near
Speaker 2: you know where that saying was at that restaurant that
Speaker 2: was I saw there was actually it was like a
Speaker 2: mama bear with like two cubs. And this was like
Speaker 2: early March, so bears, bears were even getting out like
Speaker 2: in early March like in this area. I guess it
Speaker 2: just has to do with a lot of like the
Speaker 2: temperature and if it's you know, kind of like safe
Speaker 2: to get out. And I guess another you know, real
Speaker 2: at least in New Jersey, another area that's gotten like
Speaker 2: really like crazy in terms of uh, you know, wildness areas.
Speaker 2: It's called like the Ramapo Ramapo Valley and it's like
Speaker 2: a large once again, it's like basically two large county
Speaker 2: parks that combined to like almost like five or ten
Speaker 2: thousand acres, and there's been sightings up that way you
Speaker 2: know where you know, you know, someone's driving in a
Speaker 2: car and Yeah, they've they've had you know, sightings in
Speaker 2: that area'thing wrong with the Skyline drive, but yeah, even
Speaker 2: even going out there, it's like you're you realize, you're like, oh, man,
Speaker 2: like I'm in these areas and like you know, you
Speaker 2: you can you know see like the New York Skyline
Speaker 2: sometimes you know, from some of these mountains, and it
Speaker 2: just makes you realize, like how how quickly things get
Speaker 2: rural like in some of these areas And I guess
Speaker 2: just I'm just trying to get to New York, So
Speaker 2: New York basically God, it's called so basically just across
Speaker 2: the line, it's called Harriman State Park. And there's there's
Speaker 2: been like it's called like it's like Seven Lakes Drive,
Speaker 2: like it's like Tobago Lake, all those types of areas
Speaker 2: through there, and there's been like multiple, multiple like sightings
Speaker 2: through that area. And there's there's so many boulder fields
Speaker 2: and like I totally I'm stood how like you know,
Speaker 2: somebody could somebody could come across, you know, some type
Speaker 2: of some type of creature in this area just because
Speaker 2: it gets like so wild and really, like I said,
Speaker 2: no nobody is out in these areas. Go a little
Speaker 2: bit further north, So I went to it's called Lake
Speaker 2: Lake Minnewaska State Park, and so basically it's it's not
Speaker 2: really a part of the Cat Skills. It's kind of
Speaker 2: its own thing. And there's these ice caverns there and
Speaker 2: like like it's there was a sighting like at these
Speaker 2: ice caverns like during I feel like a lot of
Speaker 2: this stuff is just like happening during like the middle
Speaker 2: like the middle of like winter in these areas. So
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, like you know, are My theory
Speaker 2: is like are they like are Bigfoot like migrating from
Speaker 2: like the Adirondacks down to the cat Skills like during
Speaker 2: the winter just to like avoid like the extreme like
Speaker 2: cold temperatures like that. That's kind of my theory for
Speaker 2: New York. But yeah, I mean, like even just like
Speaker 2: when you look at into these valleys, it's just it's
Speaker 2: just like it's it's like Pa, it's like endless. The
Speaker 2: cat Skills and Adironics have that same feeling of like
Speaker 2: North central Pa, where you know, there's this level of wildness.
Speaker 2: I guess, you know, just a quick note about like
Speaker 2: you know Pa, North Central Pa. Like a lot of
Speaker 2: these like state forests that became you know, that became
Speaker 2: state farest was basically because all the railroad industry they
Speaker 2: destroyed like a lot of these forests back in the
Speaker 2: early part of the twentieth century, and so the state
Speaker 2: brought back these lands at Penning on a dollar. And now,
Speaker 2: you know, one hundred and twenty five years later, you know,
Speaker 2: a lot of these forests have grown back. And yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it's it's kind of the same situation up
Speaker 2: up there near the Cat Skills, and so yeah, I
Speaker 2: started I started to shooting some videos like near the
Speaker 2: Cat Skills, and you know, basically like the Cat Skills
Speaker 2: is really the watershed for New York City. So you
Speaker 2: go to you know these like different reservoirs up there,
Speaker 2: and you'll see like New York City Police officers like
Speaker 2: guarding you know, guarding these like reservoirs, and you're like
Speaker 2: two hundred miles away from New York And so I
Speaker 2: went to the Pacting Reservoir. There's like a it's called
Speaker 2: like the Shaver Shaver Town Grill Trail, and like a
Speaker 2: lot of like the the Catskills are known for like
Speaker 2: canning products because like tanning leather products, because the hemlock
Speaker 2: treats produced the Tanning So there's a lot there's like
Speaker 2: a lot of abandoned towns that like used to be
Speaker 2: just like tanneries. And so when I was going off
Speaker 2: this trail, like you know, like once again, I'm I'm
Speaker 2: I'm along on a trail by myself, and like this
Speaker 2: like stick just comes like flying flying through the forest.
Speaker 2: Not a rock. It was it was like a branch,
Speaker 2: like something through a branch, and I just I just
Speaker 2: I just headed out because it was like it was crazy.
Speaker 2: I guess going a little bit like going a little
Speaker 2: bit further north. There's actually a legend in the cat
Speaker 2: Skills of the Grahamsville gorilla, and that was like basically
Speaker 2: just known as like an escape primate. They think, yeah,
Speaker 2: they think, like I said, they think it's more of
Speaker 2: it was more of like a you know of like
Speaker 2: a of a mountain gorilla but from like a zoo
Speaker 2: or from as a circus train. But basically with like
Speaker 2: the Slide Slide Mountain wilderness up there, like you could
Speaker 2: really like it's it's I think the cat Skills are
Speaker 2: also they're also like half a million acres you know,
Speaker 2: just kind of like an Allegheny National forest, and it's
Speaker 2: it's real like my kind of my my target area
Speaker 2: for the area is actually like New York. It's called
Speaker 2: Gilboa and there's a little park there called mine Kill
Speaker 2: State Park. And one thing I've I've been discovering is that,
Speaker 2: like you know, I've been watching a lot of times
Speaker 2: I'll just like I watch like a YouTube video it's
Speaker 2: more of just like a hiking video just to like
Speaker 2: you know kind of like just like get get like
Speaker 2: an as semblance of the train kind of. And like
Speaker 2: so there was this one gentleman who was hiking and
Speaker 2: he was like he was like, oh my god, Like
Speaker 2: you know, like I've seen like hiking videos that showed
Speaker 2: like all the signs of like a classic like Bigfoot
Speaker 2: like encounter, like if it's stalking people and they have
Speaker 2: these people have nothing to do with like Bigfoot. They're
Speaker 2: just like these like just these hiking like hiking trail videos,
Speaker 2: and it really always blows my mind. And so I went.
Speaker 2: I went to it's called Minekill State Park, and there's
Speaker 2: plenty of like plenty of trails, plenty of you know,
Speaker 2: things on that level for you know, really really getting lost.
Speaker 2: And like I said, also with the Slide Mountain Wilderness.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's like, you know, the Catskills actually get
Speaker 2: up to like four forty four thousand feet, so you know,
Speaker 2: it's a really rugged like in wild area for for
Speaker 2: being on the East Coast. And I actually went to
Speaker 2: I also went to the New York big Foot Conference,
Speaker 2: which was in October, and you know, when I was
Speaker 2: up there, like I shot up I shot a video
Speaker 2: for just you know, like the southern southern terminus of
Speaker 2: the Adirondacks. And I feel like, you know, there's other
Speaker 2: people that kind of cover the Adirondacks because like they're
Speaker 2: I think you can get you can fit the Grand Canyon,
Speaker 2: Yellowstone like Glacier and like Glacier and like uh Yosemite
Speaker 2: all in it. It's it's it's just such a vast area,
Speaker 2: you know. So it's like I feel like I'm okay
Speaker 2: with like where I'm where I'm at like more like
Speaker 2: southernly in the mid Atlantic, and you know, and at
Speaker 2: the big Foot conference, I saw, you know, like it
Speaker 2: was it was incredible, like just you know, meeting like
Speaker 2: you know, usually there's like I know, like the Ohio
Speaker 2: big Foot conferences, like thirty thousand people or something. But
Speaker 2: this one, there was only like a hundred people there,
Speaker 2: and like, you know, I met like Ken Gerhart, you know,
Speaker 2: Cliff Barrickman, Renee Hall holland you know doctor Sarmiento, Adam
Speaker 2: Davies like and guys from like Squatches Housetts. So it's
Speaker 2: just it was like a real surreal experience like at
Speaker 2: this conference where there's only like one hundred people, and
Speaker 2: you know, I had I had to pinch myself, you know,
Speaker 2: just just kind of being in that crowd. And you know,
Speaker 2: but I think I realized from that experience maybe the
Speaker 2: Adirondacks are they're they're kind of like the Southern Auronics.
Speaker 2: It's like my, you know, like Saratoga Springs, that's like my,
Speaker 2: that's like my northern northern terminus for where you know,
Speaker 2: I kind of do you know, sasquatch hunting. And I
Speaker 2: also did a I also did a video in Long
Speaker 2: Island too, because they've been uh like sightings of a
Speaker 2: bigfoot in like you know, I think it's like a
Speaker 2: what Whitman State Park, But I was a little bit
Speaker 2: further north near like it's called Sagamore Hill, which is
Speaker 2: like I think it was like Teddy Roosevelt's like summer home, correct,
Speaker 2: and just just yeah, just just being in that area,
Speaker 2: like you know, you like you see like either the
Speaker 2: natural resources that are there, like the abundance of food,
Speaker 2: and you know, it's really really mind blowing. And yeah,
Speaker 2: so that's that's kind of that's that's been my experiences.
Speaker 2: And I believe I'm gonna be heading to uh. I
Speaker 2: finally got to shoot a video Allegheny National Forest soon enough,
Speaker 2: because it's actually legal to it's legal to film in
Speaker 2: national parks now, so yeah, you don't need like a
Speaker 2: you don't need like a film film permit anymore. And
Speaker 2: I'm actually looking to go to so near Alleghany. It's
Speaker 2: called Cook's Farest and that's that's northwest PA. It's near
Speaker 2: like the Forest County Bigfoot Festival and Cooks Fit County
Speaker 2: Cook's Forrest as uh like it actually was an area
Speaker 2: where two railroad companies couldn't decide like who owned the area.
Speaker 2: So it's it's like what the original growth forests like
Speaker 2: still left in PA. So that's that's been my that's
Speaker 2: been my past couple of years, and it's been been
Speaker 2: quite a quite a journey to just really you know,
Speaker 2: come close to something that potentially, like though would people
Speaker 2: you know may not have any like evidence or belief
Speaker 2: in And I just I just like the idea of like,
Speaker 2: you know, potentially finding some type of evidence for you know,
Speaker 2: not only just like Bigfoot, but like any type of
Speaker 2: you know, cryptozoological zoological species that like might you know,
Speaker 2: still still exist.
Speaker 1: It really is a fascinating channel in the fact that
Speaker 1: the reason I I love it is that you do
Speaker 1: hit a lot of the places you go to. I've
Speaker 1: actually had interviews in those areas, so you know, we
Speaker 1: talked about you know, you went and checked out swamp
Speaker 1: Dogs area. Listeners that have been around for a while
Speaker 1: will remember swamp Dog from New Jersey. But also I've
Speaker 1: had plenty of interviews that have you know, talked about
Speaker 1: Misha State Forest, Gilboa a few times, so that area
Speaker 1: has a.
Speaker 2: Lot of really crazy up there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So in the last few minutes we have I
Speaker 1: actually wanted to talk to you so when you went
Speaker 1: up to Gilboa from your perspective, you know, I'm sure
Speaker 1: you've heard a few of the encounters and sightings in
Speaker 1: that area. Is is that a pretty squatchy area up
Speaker 1: there in Gilboa?
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I say that because literally when I was
Speaker 2: at the Minekill State Park, which is you know writ
Speaker 2: and Gilboa there, there there was no one in the park.
Speaker 2: There wasn't even the park ranger wasn't even in the park,
Speaker 2: and like I was literally the only person there, and
Speaker 2: a like a flock or whatever it is, a gaggle
Speaker 2: of turkeys cut me off in the parking lot, which
Speaker 2: just showed you, like how like crazy and rural, Like
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, turkeys are like like I one
Speaker 2: time I was going back from like I think it
Speaker 2: was the Pipocting Reservoir and I took you know, another
Speaker 2: experience is just like taking a lot of these old
Speaker 2: logging roads and just like waiting just to go over
Speaker 2: a cliff, you know, because they're just so like, you know, rickety,
Speaker 2: and like you know, just just seeing like having a
Speaker 2: you know, like a you know, a little flock of
Speaker 2: you know, turkeys cutting me off in the state park.
Speaker 2: And you know, when I was there, I also saw
Speaker 2: a bobcat by the side of the road. So it
Speaker 2: just shows you like, I mean, these are species that
Speaker 2: like avoid like people at all costs. So you're, you know,
Speaker 2: it's you're you're really like you're really out in the
Speaker 2: middle of nowhere, you know, and there's just like there's
Speaker 2: there's no there's just not even like even outside of
Speaker 2: just like the state parks. Like if you're just like
Speaker 2: in the area just as like a you know, like
Speaker 2: living in there, Like it's all wooded, it's all thick woods.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's like a jungle like when you when
Speaker 2: you go to these areas.
Speaker 1: Some wild stuff. Do you have any ideas for places
Speaker 1: you want to hit in the future.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I I you know, like like I said,
Speaker 2: I'm going to I'm definitely going to go to the
Speaker 2: uh like Alleyan National, I'm going to go to the
Speaker 2: it's called like the Cook Forest. Uh, you know, a
Speaker 2: bigfoot festival and Marion Marionville, PA. And uh, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's a just Forest County big Foot festival.
Speaker 2: It's been it's been there a couple of years. And
Speaker 2: you know now that like you you're able to I'm
Speaker 2: able to film like an Alleghany Reservoir. I'm going to
Speaker 2: go to that area and there's there's a lot of
Speaker 2: a lot of settings around like the reservoir there. So
Speaker 2: that's kind of like you know, I always try and
Speaker 2: I always try and go near like bodies of water
Speaker 2: just because I mean I feel like that's like the
Speaker 2: most you know, kind of prominent area where these creatures
Speaker 2: might be. And then you know, while I'm there mostly
Speaker 2: going to go to the old Grouth Farce that's there.
Speaker 2: I have another places. There's a basically like where I
Speaker 2: you know, I shot my like my thunderbird and like
Speaker 2: there was like the snow Snowshoe videos. It's like a
Speaker 2: little park called Black Black Motion Anon State Park. So
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be I'm gonna be filming a video there
Speaker 2: pretty soon. And uh it's you know, it's these areas
Speaker 2: are just wild. There's there's nobody out there, and especially
Speaker 2: with the state game lands, like it gets really gets
Speaker 2: really hairy, just because you know, three quarters of the year,
Speaker 2: like there's you know and p A p A has
Speaker 2: like you know, the one and a half million you
Speaker 2: know acres of state game land and like basically for
Speaker 2: three cores of the year, really nobody nobody cares, you know,
Speaker 2: or they're just they're primarily for recreation use. They're not
Speaker 2: for hunting use. So it's it's not like they're just
Speaker 2: strictly for you know, hunt it's it can also be
Speaker 2: for you know, playing with trails, like you know, one
Speaker 2: of the one of the state game lands has you know,
Speaker 2: it's like has like tens of thousands of acres, you know,
Speaker 2: So it's it's real like if like you could hide
Speaker 2: a dinosaur like in these areas and like nobody like
Speaker 2: nobody would ever know. Yeah, absolutely, and uh yeah, so
Speaker 2: that's just that's that's been my experience in the past
Speaker 2: couple of years. And you know, I'm, like I said,
Speaker 2: with like the film background, I'm really I'm really doing
Speaker 2: my best to just properly hopefully just get some type
Speaker 2: of some type of footage or something, just because like
Speaker 2: it's you know it, I feel like there's been such
Speaker 2: like momentum for something that happened that like it's it's
Speaker 2: like it needs to like be solidified, to like really cemented,
Speaker 2: to hopefully try and you know kind of uh possibly
Speaker 2: you know, have this have this species you know recognized,
Speaker 2: even you know, if if I get like a like
Speaker 2: some footage or something, you know, then getting having like
Speaker 2: a proper like a proper scientist like come out to
Speaker 2: the field and you know examine these areas you know,
Speaker 2: hopefully you know, being able to like just just get
Speaker 2: some type of like real like proper scientific, you know,
Speaker 2: recognition of of what's going on, because like because because
Speaker 2: something's going on, you know, and I think I think
Speaker 2: it'll it'll really just give give credence to like all
Speaker 2: the people, you know, Like I mean, I guess, you know, well,
Speaker 2: my my strategies for really you know kind of you know,
Speaker 2: searching for these creatures comes from like John Green, where
Speaker 2: he was like he was like, you know, just kind
Speaker 2: of like stick to like a certain area, right, like
Speaker 2: don't like don't go all. I feel like if I
Speaker 2: were to go to Alaska or something, I feel like
Speaker 2: I would have I would land into like an alien
Speaker 2: world of like trying to understand like I don't know
Speaker 2: the terrain, you know. But I feel like when I
Speaker 2: go out to into like the mid Atlantic region, like
Speaker 2: a PA in New York, like I know, like I
Speaker 2: know the forest, and I know I know what's supposed
Speaker 2: to be there and what's not. You know, So just
Speaker 2: by in terms of like you know, process of elimination,
Speaker 2: I can really potentially you kind of kind of discover,
Speaker 2: you know, what may or may not be there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I mean that reminds me of Lyle Blackburn
Speaker 1: told me once become the person who's the expert for
Speaker 1: the weird stuff in your area because no one else
Speaker 1: is going to do it. Greg, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for coming on the show today. We'll definitely be falling
Speaker 1: along with your channel, and I'll have the link to
Speaker 1: that in the show notes, So listeners make sure you
Speaker 1: head over there next and subscribe to Greg's channel. Check
Speaker 1: it out. There'll be a lot of them where you
Speaker 1: can see for yourself through the video what the area
Speaker 1: was like where you've heard the encounters on this show,
Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. And we'll definitely have to keep
Speaker 1: in touch with you, Greg to see what happens in
Speaker 1: the future. Thanks for coming on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, Jeremiah, like for having me so much. Yeah,
Speaker 2: with my channel, I just try and I try and
Speaker 2: have like a first person experience of things, and like
Speaker 2: if I see Bigfoot for the first time, like I
Speaker 2: want my audience to see Bigfoot. So that's that's my aspiration.
Speaker 2: Hopefully one day, you know, when when I catch the
Speaker 2: image of it, like everyone will all see it at
Speaker 2: the same time, you know, and that's the I feel
Speaker 2: like that's like the joy of like the filmmaking. You know,
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: I love that good stuff. Man, Thank you?
Speaker 2: All right, sir, all right, you have a good day.
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity
Speaker 1: around Oakridge, Oregon? And you think to yourself, Man, I
Speaker 1: would love to get out in those woods and experience
Speaker 1: it for myself. Well, guess what this year you can
Speaker 1: If this is interesting to you, stay tuned because it's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Sasquatch Summer Fest is coming up July tenth
Speaker 1: through the eleventh, twenty twenty six. It's gonna be even
Speaker 1: better than the previous year's reason number one, I'll be
Speaker 1: one of the speakers. It's gonna be wild. I'll probably
Speaker 1: I'll say this. There may be stuff you haven't heard
Speaker 1: anywhere else, because let's just say sometimes it's well, you
Speaker 1: just got to be there. We'll leave it that more
Speaker 1: about looking for Bigfoot in the Oakridge Woods. Now check
Speaker 1: this out. You may know Jason Kenzie from his documentary
Speaker 1: series Searching for Sasquatch. Well, this year you can not
Speaker 1: only go to the festival, but you can also sign
Speaker 1: up for a track Deep in the Wild Forest outside
Speaker 1: of Oakridge with Jason Kenzie to the Bigfoot spots to
Speaker 1: look for Bigfoot. There's only eight spots to sign up
Speaker 1: for this, and yes, this will also be filmed for
Speaker 1: the next chapter in his documentary series, which is Searching

Speaker 1: to miss it, and I'll see you there. Before we
Speaker 1: wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to
Speaker 1: a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military,
Speaker 1: any branch or forces, and if you've seen something that
Speaker 1: no one can explain. Or if you're a National park
Speaker 1: ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet,
Speaker 1: or if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down
Speaker 1: on the ground, or if you're with the FBI a
Speaker 1: federal agency, or working intelligence and you stumbled upon something
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to talk about. And if you're a firefighter,
Speaker 1: paramedic or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or
Speaker 1: found tracks that didn't make sense. If you're in the
Speaker 1: logging industry on a remote oil field, or a trucker
Speaker 1: with government contracts and you've had something happen that you've
Speaker 1: never told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a
Speaker 1: wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract who has
Speaker 1: found evidence you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor,
Speaker 1: a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat and you
Speaker 1: saw something that shook your faith, or if you work
Speaker 1: in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or anything with clearance and
Speaker 1: you've seen what the public hasn't, then I want to
Speaker 1: talk to you, even if it's anonymous. You can reach
Speaker 1: me at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com. The world
Speaker 1: needs to hear what you've been forced to carry alone,
Speaker 1: and you're not alone. You've got the story, We've got
Speaker 1: the mic see you in the woods. Thank you for
