<v Speaker 1>she's experienced over the years. So Mo, welcome to the show.

19
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go ahead and give the floor over

20
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>to you. Feel free to take us back to the

21
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 1>time when all this stuff started happening For you, and

22
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll let you take it from here.

23
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 2>All right. When I was a very little girl, sometime

24
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:19.599
<v Speaker 2>around nineteen seventy five, my parents decided to leave civilization

25
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.120
<v Speaker 2>and move up into the mountains. And I was about

26
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 2>five years old, maybe six, and we moved up to

27
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 2>a very very large, very beautiful log cabin of past

28
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 2>Granite Falls, Washington, up by the sixteen mile markers, and

29
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:42.200
<v Speaker 2>we had no electricity. We poked on a wood stove

30
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 2>and it was it was just very remote at the time.

31
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.879
<v Speaker 2>And there's a lot of people up there now, I think,

32
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:54.359
<v Speaker 2>but it was very different then. But yeah, one summer

33
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.079
<v Speaker 2>we'd been living up there, I think this was in

34
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 2>seventy seven, and we'd been living there for a while

35
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>and we had never heard our seat. We'd seen bears

36
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 2>and things like that, but nothing else. And it was

37
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.039
<v Speaker 2>I believe it was June, and me and my father

38
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.080
<v Speaker 2>had decided to go and all the other kids were

39
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.639
<v Speaker 2>gone for the day and we decided to go and

40
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>do something, and he wanted to. He decided it was

41
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.719
<v Speaker 2>time for me to learn how to fish. So we

42
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:26.560
<v Speaker 2>grabbed some poles and there was a place that we liked.

43
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Everybody liked to fish and It was about a mile

44
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.000
<v Speaker 2>walk from our house, and we crossed the road and

45
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.240
<v Speaker 2>go down a dry creek bed for about a mile

46
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 2>and there was a bend in the still Iguamish River

47
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>there that it pooled right there at the turn in

48
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 2>the river, and we called it Emerald Pool. It was

49
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.520
<v Speaker 2>just a really beautiful spot and it was a rocky beach,

50
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>and then on the other side there was a little

51
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 2>waterfalls and a big cliff and the cliff was about

52
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 2>i'd say fifty feet fifty feet tall, maybe a little taller.

53
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 2>So we walked out there and it was a nice walk,

54
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>and we set up our fishing poles and sat down

55
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.120
<v Speaker 2>to fish, and we were there for about two hours,

56
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 2>and I did catch my first fish, and I saw

57
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>my dad kind of stiffened and get a really strange

58
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.439
<v Speaker 2>look on his face and set up off the ground,

59
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.400
<v Speaker 2>off the rock he was sitting on, and I looked

60
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.719
<v Speaker 2>over towards the cliff where he was looking and standing

61
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>there was At first I thought it was just a

62
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:36.400
<v Speaker 2>really big guy wearing lots of clothes, but I could

63
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 2>see that my dad was terrified, and I mean he

64
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 2>was just frozen, and so, you know, looking closer, I

65
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>realized that this was way too big to be a man.

66
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 2>It was probably close to eight feet tall, covered with

67
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:57.319
<v Speaker 2>brown hair, looked very ape like, and was staring down

68
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:03.680
<v Speaker 2>at us and my dad. I don't know what he

69
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 2>was going through at the time, because he just couldn't move.

70
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.120
<v Speaker 2>He was just frozen. And he stood that way for

71
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.120
<v Speaker 2>a good couple of minutes. And I said, Dad, what

72
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker 2>is that? And he said, Honey, I don't know what

73
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.399
<v Speaker 2>that is. I think I know, but I don't know,

74
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 2>and I think we need to leave. And I looked

75
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 2>up and I took one last look at it, and

76
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 2>it was standing there and it kind of had his

77
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.240
<v Speaker 2>hand on the trunk of a tree, and it was

78
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:32.000
<v Speaker 2>looking down at us, and I remember thinking how sad

79
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:35.079
<v Speaker 2>it looked. For some reason, it just seemed to have

80
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:39.160
<v Speaker 2>a very very sad look on its face. So me

81
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.680
<v Speaker 2>and my dad turned around and we walked back home

82
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.399
<v Speaker 2>as fast as we could. And I don't think it

83
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.319
<v Speaker 2>could have gotten to us unless it jumped off the

84
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 2>cliff and waded through the river, but he was afraid.

85
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.839
<v Speaker 2>And we got back to the house, and that night

86
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.639
<v Speaker 2>we started hearing things around the outside of the house,

87
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:05.319
<v Speaker 2>and when we went to bed, at night, my mom

88
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 2>would come into my bedroom and she would light the

89
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 2>kerosene lantern and she would turn the wick up only

90
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.240
<v Speaker 2>so far so that way, within a couple of hours

91
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 2>it would burn out. And I can remember that for Actually,

92
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.959
<v Speaker 2>for a lot of nights after that night, we would

93
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:32.000
<v Speaker 2>hear branches breaking, we would hear screaming, just howling that

94
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 2>we had never heard before. Then I would hear breathing

95
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:39.040
<v Speaker 2>outside of my window and I would wake up and

96
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 2>hear this, and I would be terrified, and because the

97
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.079
<v Speaker 2>lantern had burnt out in my room and it was

98
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.240
<v Speaker 2>completely dark in there. I can remember I would feel

99
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.800
<v Speaker 2>around the walls of my room because I had to

100
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.639
<v Speaker 2>get out of there because it was right outside my window,

101
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:55.759
<v Speaker 2>and I didn't know what it was, but I could

102
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 2>tell it was big, and I had never heard anything

103
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:02.079
<v Speaker 2>like that before. And I would finally find the door,

104
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 2>and then I'd run out into the living room and

105
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 2>sleep on the couch that night, and I could still

106
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 2>hear it, but the living room was two stories up,

107
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.480
<v Speaker 2>so it was you know, I felt a little safer there.

108
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:21.199
<v Speaker 2>And we started having things around our house being destroyed,

109
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 2>like plant My mom had a garden, my dad had

110
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:27.959
<v Speaker 2>his own garden. We won't go into what he grew,

111
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:32.560
<v Speaker 2>but those would disappear as well. But it was just

112
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:35.879
<v Speaker 2>it was scary. It went on pretty much for the

113
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:37.759
<v Speaker 2>rest of the time that we lived there, which was

114
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:42.519
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years, and I do remember there were

115
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.560
<v Speaker 2>times when there was enough moonlight to shine light into

116
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.519
<v Speaker 2>my bedroom window and I could see something out there,

117
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:51.680
<v Speaker 2>and I could and it looked like what I saw

118
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 2>up at emble Pool. And we also had a small

119
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:03.439
<v Speaker 2>house right next to our property, and it was the

120
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:07.600
<v Speaker 2>strangest little house because I don't know why it had

121
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>been built where it had been built, but it was

122
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.519
<v Speaker 2>like surrounded by a pond. I don't know if the

123
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.000
<v Speaker 2>pond gathered there after the house was built, but it

124
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.279
<v Speaker 2>was a very old, little tiny cabin and above the

125
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 2>door there was a little sign that said doctor Shivago.

126
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:25.120
<v Speaker 2>And we loved us kids loved to explore around in there.

127
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.480
<v Speaker 2>We weren't supposed to, but we really liked to. And

128
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker 2>I can remember when I would go in there, I

129
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:39.240
<v Speaker 2>would smell a smell that would take me back to

130
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:43.399
<v Speaker 2>the nights when you know, there's something outside my window,

131
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.079
<v Speaker 2>and I could hear it, and I could smell that's

132
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:51.600
<v Speaker 2>that strong, almost nose burning smell. And I can remember

133
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.240
<v Speaker 2>there was many times when I could smell that inside

134
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:58.759
<v Speaker 2>that cabin, and so we stopped playing in there, but

135
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 2>it it went on for the next couple of years

136
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:05.519
<v Speaker 2>that we lived there. I can't even begin to describe

137
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.240
<v Speaker 2>the noises that it made. My dad would try and

138
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 2>tell all the other kids that, you know, it was

139
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.759
<v Speaker 2>just a bear or acoumber or mountain lion or whatever,

140
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:21.240
<v Speaker 2>but I knew what it was, and I can remember

141
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.000
<v Speaker 2>my dad wanted me to keep what we had seen

142
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.040
<v Speaker 2>that day from my mom because my mom's scared easily.

143
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:34.639
<v Speaker 2>But after it started like showing up around our house

144
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>in the at night, there was no way my mom

145
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.879
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't hear that and see those things herself. She was

146
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.720
<v Speaker 2>up late in the night. My mom always got up

147
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.120
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of the night for some reason for

148
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.639
<v Speaker 2>an hour or two, and she would see and hear

149
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.799
<v Speaker 2>things too, And she would always ask my dad, and

150
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, are you sure that's a bear? Are you

151
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.559
<v Speaker 2>it sounds so big? Are you sure that's a bear?

152
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 2>And what is that smell? What is this smell I

153
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:05.159
<v Speaker 2>keep smelling around the house. Well, my dad finally told

154
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 2>her what we had seen at Emerald Pool that day.

155
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 2>And then we finally told we had a couple of

156
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:15.320
<v Speaker 2>neighbors up there, one that lived across the river and

157
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.000
<v Speaker 2>one that lived right across the road, and then we

158
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.600
<v Speaker 2>were the only ones up there. And so the guy

159
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.720
<v Speaker 2>who lived across the river, his name was Greg, and

160
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.519
<v Speaker 2>my dad went to him and talked to him about it,

161
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:35.879
<v Speaker 2>about what he had seen, and Greg started telling stories

162
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:38.399
<v Speaker 2>because Greg lived up in that little cabin that he

163
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:42.720
<v Speaker 2>lived in up there for most of his life, and

164
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.000
<v Speaker 2>he told us all sorts of stories about what he

165
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:49.159
<v Speaker 2>had seen and that there's many of them up there

166
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:53.440
<v Speaker 2>and that he had seen them all of his life.

167
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.919
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, that's that's about That's my story.

168
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely fascinating, Mo, thank you, thank you for sharing that.

169
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I definitely have a few questions for you, going back

170
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to when you had seen the one where its face

171
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:16.960
<v Speaker 1>made you think it was sad. Do you remember if

172
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.840
<v Speaker 1>there were certain details about the face that made you

173
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 1>think that.

174
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the eyes, it just seemed to have sad eyes,

175
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:32.759
<v Speaker 3>almost like it was grining.

176
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I couldn't see tears. I was too

177
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:41.480
<v Speaker 2>far away. It just it looked like an old person

178
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.840
<v Speaker 2>who you see that was shouting or looking really sad

179
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.000
<v Speaker 2>or looking kind of in Its shoulders were slumped and

180
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:53.200
<v Speaker 2>it seemed to sigh a few times. And it's hard

181
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.960
<v Speaker 2>to explain. It just really looked like it did not

182
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.679
<v Speaker 2>want to see us there, but that it wasn't angry

183
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:06.519
<v Speaker 2>or violent. It was just it just looked sad. It

184
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:10.360
<v Speaker 2>had kind of a leathery face, brown leathery face, all wrinkly,

185
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.600
<v Speaker 2>and it just had a sad, scrench stuff looks on

186
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:15.120
<v Speaker 2>its face.

187
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:20.840
<v Speaker 1>What were the certain features that stood out to you

188
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 1>as being more.

189
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Ape like the face, the hands From as far away

190
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.240
<v Speaker 2>as I mean, we weren't that far theo i'm o

191
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:35.480
<v Speaker 2>pool was actually very small, but the hands looked like

192
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.679
<v Speaker 2>an ape's hands, you know, back of the hair on

193
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:40.600
<v Speaker 2>the back of the hands, but none on the on

194
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.879
<v Speaker 2>the front sides. I couldn't really see its feet, so

195
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:47.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but the hair was it was brown,

196
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.440
<v Speaker 2>but it was kind of an orange brown. And it

197
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.120
<v Speaker 2>just it had really long arms, kind of bold legs.

198
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:56.559
<v Speaker 2>It was just really ape like.

199
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Were you able to see any details about shape of

200
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.639
<v Speaker 1>the head or the neck at all?

201
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, The head reminded me of like a gorilla. Just

202
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 2>darker skin, darker hair. But it looked a lot like

203
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>a gorilla head. I couldn't see the back of it,

204
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:29.120
<v Speaker 2>but it did look like a gorilla head, and I

205
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:35.840
<v Speaker 2>do if I am remembering correctly, I could. I also think,

206
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, in my memory, I think it was a

207
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:44.320
<v Speaker 2>male because I think I saw some of that too, gotcha.

208
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:47.240
<v Speaker 2>And there were no large breasts or anything.

209
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.519
<v Speaker 1>From what I can From what I can tell, grant

210
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:54.480
<v Speaker 1>it falls. There are not a lot of people at

211
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.240
<v Speaker 1>this time, so you're not having to worry about you know,

212
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:00.639
<v Speaker 1>is there a zoo and granite fall or is there

213
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>wild animal Safari theme park? You know that there could

214
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.039
<v Speaker 1>have been a gorilla escape from nothing like that in

215
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:08.279
<v Speaker 1>the area, correct.

216
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:11.039
<v Speaker 2>No, No, it was a little tiny log in town.

217
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:17.759
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely. You know, when you would walk around the property

218
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:21.399
<v Speaker 1>after these nights where you would hear things outside, would

219
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:25.919
<v Speaker 1>you ever notice any footprints outside or anything out of

220
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the ordinary next to the house.

221
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.399
<v Speaker 4>You know, I don't think I ever really thought to look,

222
00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:34.960
<v Speaker 4>because I was so young, But I remember my dad

223
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.840
<v Speaker 4>looking around the house after those nights, and I never really,

224
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, fully understood what he was looking for.

225
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:44.480
<v Speaker 2>But I think I know now he never really talked

226
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:47.639
<v Speaker 2>about it a lot. It was something that really scared him.

227
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:51.960
<v Speaker 2>He was one of those very skeptical people. He did

228
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.399
<v Speaker 2>not believe in anything out of the ordinary. Life was

229
00:13:55.559 --> 00:14:00.799
<v Speaker 2>just very straightforward for him. So it's something that he

230
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.120
<v Speaker 2>just never really liked to talk about too much. But

231
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:08.480
<v Speaker 2>when he did talk about it, he agreed with me

232
00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:11.440
<v Speaker 2>that about what it looked like and about that it

233
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.320
<v Speaker 2>had a sad look on its face. And when he

234
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:19.480
<v Speaker 2>finally started telling people about it, it just this thing

235
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.080
<v Speaker 2>happened that he always thought what happened. They told him

236
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.960
<v Speaker 2>it was crazy, except for, you know, our couple of

237
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.200
<v Speaker 2>friends up there on the mountain. But nobody ever believed us.

238
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.279
<v Speaker 2>My brothers and sisters barely believed us, even though they

239
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 2>heard what went on outside. But at that time a

240
00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:37.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of them were leaving home and going off on

241
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.279
<v Speaker 2>their own too, and it was pretty much just as

242
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:43.279
<v Speaker 2>little kids left. That makes sense.

243
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:45.600
<v Speaker 1>That makes sense. Did you and your father have a

244
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:49.279
<v Speaker 1>discussion about this when you're older it growed up as

245
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:52.159
<v Speaker 1>an adult, Actually, we.

246
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Had a discussion about it about well, less than a

247
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:59.240
<v Speaker 2>year ago. I talked to him about it. I wanted

248
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:01.159
<v Speaker 2>to talk. His mind was slipping and I wanted to

249
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:04.879
<v Speaker 2>talk to him about things before, you know, he passed

250
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:09.759
<v Speaker 2>away in September, and then my mom and we you know,

251
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.120
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to talk to him about it, and he

252
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:15.799
<v Speaker 2>just he said, I he goes. I saw him afterwards.

253
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.679
<v Speaker 2>I saw them after that. I don't know why we

254
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.639
<v Speaker 2>never saw them before. Maybe we just weren't looking, And

255
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:24.960
<v Speaker 2>we don't know why they started coming around our house

256
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.919
<v Speaker 2>after we did see them. We did see that one.

257
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.639
<v Speaker 2>I know that there was times when I would lay

258
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:34.639
<v Speaker 2>there and I would think, Oh, there's one outside the window.

259
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Big for society, who will be right back after these messages, And.

260
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Then I would realize there was more than one out

261
00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 2>by the window. We never had anything like a lot

262
00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:04.759
<v Speaker 2>of people describe, no rocks thrown, nothing ever threatening. We

263
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:09.399
<v Speaker 2>never heard any strange languages or anything like that. Just

264
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:11.840
<v Speaker 2>a lot of heavy breathing. And then when they were

265
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.399
<v Speaker 2>a little farther from the house, screaming or kind of

266
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.919
<v Speaker 2>a woot sound at each other. I think I think

267
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:21.759
<v Speaker 2>there was more than one. They'd be rooting at each other.

268
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:24.000
<v Speaker 2>That's the only way I can describe it.

269
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:32.879
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, first off, I'm sorry to hear that you

270
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:38.200
<v Speaker 1>lost both of your parents. Recently. Is that is great?

271
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.240
<v Speaker 1>You were able to have that conversation with your father

272
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:46.480
<v Speaker 1>so recent before he did pass. Yeah, how long did

273
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:50.799
<v Speaker 1>they end up staying at that property.

274
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.240
<v Speaker 2>For two more years after that? We were there for

275
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:55.360
<v Speaker 2>about four years in total.

276
00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Was there a thing that made them move where? It

277
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.000
<v Speaker 1>was just at the point that it's time to move on.

278
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.119
<v Speaker 2>It was time to move on. Living up there was

279
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.160
<v Speaker 2>becoming a little more than what my mother bargained for.

280
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh And my sister told me because I was telling

281
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:16.799
<v Speaker 2>her that I was doing this tonight, and she told

282
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:20.759
<v Speaker 2>me something that she had never told me before, and

283
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.160
<v Speaker 2>that was that once during the summer, and she said,

284
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.759
<v Speaker 2>this was about seventy seven, my grandparents had a little

285
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.839
<v Speaker 2>trailer that they lived in on our property in the

286
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:35.279
<v Speaker 2>last couple of years that we lived there. And one

287
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:38.720
<v Speaker 2>day she was walking towards the trailer and she was

288
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.279
<v Speaker 2>on one side of it, and my grandpa looked out

289
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:44.359
<v Speaker 2>the window and said, don't come around to the other

290
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:47.720
<v Speaker 2>side of the trailer, get your ass back in the house.

291
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:51.599
<v Speaker 2>And she's like whatever, And she walked around the side

292
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:54.599
<v Speaker 2>of the trailer and she saw, she said, she saw

293
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:58.400
<v Speaker 2>a bigfoot standing by the trailer and my grandpa had

294
00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:00.160
<v Speaker 2>come over to the other side of the trailer, and

295
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:02.640
<v Speaker 2>he was looking out the window at her and at

296
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:04.960
<v Speaker 2>this thing standing there, and he said, get in the

297
00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:07.960
<v Speaker 2>house now. And she turned around and she ran, and

298
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:10.599
<v Speaker 2>it watched her. He said, it watched her running, and

299
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.799
<v Speaker 2>then it turned her back around and looked at him

300
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:18.720
<v Speaker 2>and then just walked away. My grandpa never told me

301
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:21.519
<v Speaker 2>about this. I can remember my grandma mumbling something about

302
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:23.599
<v Speaker 2>it after she was you know, her mind was a

303
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:27.279
<v Speaker 2>little bit gone, But Grandpa didn't talk about a lot dreams,

304
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:30.039
<v Speaker 2>so I'm not real surprised he never said anything. But

305
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:35.440
<v Speaker 2>my sister was telling me about that today and I

306
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:37.640
<v Speaker 2>didn't even know about that.

307
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:41.200
<v Speaker 1>That is absolutely fascinating for you, just to learn that today.

308
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Was she able to describe what she saw and was

309
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:47.160
<v Speaker 1>it similar to what you described.

310
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:51.119
<v Speaker 2>Which she described exactly what I described, and I hadn't

311
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:54.400
<v Speaker 2>even described. You know, it's been a long time since

312
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:56.559
<v Speaker 2>I'd said anything. I don't even know if I'd ever

313
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:58.559
<v Speaker 2>talked to her much about it because my dad was

314
00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:02.039
<v Speaker 2>so strange about it. But and you know, she was

315
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:05.720
<v Speaker 2>one of those oh there's bears out there, there's nothing

316
00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:09.839
<v Speaker 2>out there until that day, so but she described it

317
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:15.359
<v Speaker 2>just like I described it. And she also said that

318
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:19.039
<v Speaker 2>when her and because the family across the road from us,

319
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:22.279
<v Speaker 2>they were the only other kids up there, but they

320
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.880
<v Speaker 2>had the same amount of kids as my parents, and

321
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.440
<v Speaker 2>we were all around the same age, so we each

322
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:30.400
<v Speaker 2>had kind of a buddy we hung out with. And

323
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.960
<v Speaker 2>her and their older kid, they were out playing with

324
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:42.920
<v Speaker 2>the weapons. I don't know who's but apparently, and this

325
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:45.000
<v Speaker 2>isn't another thing she told me today. I wasn't sure

326
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:46.720
<v Speaker 2>if I wasn't say anything about this or not, But

327
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:52.200
<v Speaker 2>apparently the neighbor boy fired at one in the woods

328
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:57.279
<v Speaker 2>and it scared her really bad. It ran away. I

329
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:00.759
<v Speaker 2>don't know what to think of that story. I I mean,

330
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:02.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think my sister was why to me, but

331
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:05.039
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't, you know. I wasn't sure if I wanted

332
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:06.839
<v Speaker 2>to tell that one or not. But what the heck,

333
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:09.839
<v Speaker 2>we're here. But she said she had also smelled things

334
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:12.240
<v Speaker 2>in that cabin. When her and the neighbor boy would

335
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.720
<v Speaker 2>go in the little doctor Chivago cabin to be alone,

336
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:18.279
<v Speaker 2>they would smell that smell in there, and they would

337
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.079
<v Speaker 2>notice things, and she said she did see footprints occasionally.

338
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:26.359
<v Speaker 1>That's absolutely fascinating.

339
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:31.279
<v Speaker 5>My other family, my other family members, really, there's a

340
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:34.640
<v Speaker 5>couple that I really don't talk too much anymore, but

341
00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:37.759
<v Speaker 5>so I've never had and they were the older ones

342
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:39.839
<v Speaker 5>who were gone pretty much by the time all this

343
00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:44.720
<v Speaker 5>was happening off starting families of their own, and so

344
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.440
<v Speaker 5>I've never really asked them if if they saw anything,

345
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:49.359
<v Speaker 5>because when you know, I talked.

346
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:56.039
<v Speaker 2>About my story, they didn't believe us. They just, oh,

347
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.640
<v Speaker 2>you guys are seeing bears, You're hearing cougar's But we

348
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.400
<v Speaker 2>knew we weren't hearing commers and bears. We knew that's

349
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:06.680
<v Speaker 2>not what they sounded like, because you know, we knew

350
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:11.240
<v Speaker 2>what they sounded like. My dad was a very good outdoorsman,

351
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:13.519
<v Speaker 2>and he knew what he was hearing.

352
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:20.920
<v Speaker 1>This this home, this cabin area. Did your father and

353
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:24.359
<v Speaker 1>your family end up. Did you build that as you

354
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:26.599
<v Speaker 1>were moving on or was the cabin already there?

355
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:28.839
<v Speaker 2>It was already there.

356
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:34.599
<v Speaker 1>Do you know how long it had stayed vacant for

357
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:35.960
<v Speaker 1>before you moved into it?

358
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.640
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea. I don't think it was vacant

359
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:46.000
<v Speaker 2>long because the landlord my parents, actually we didn't own it.

360
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:50.200
<v Speaker 2>We rented it, and the landlord had been living up there,

361
00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:52.640
<v Speaker 2>and he decided he wanted to move to town and

362
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:56.519
<v Speaker 2>rent the place out. And he thought about renting it

363
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:59.920
<v Speaker 2>out as like a summer rental or something, but he

364
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.319
<v Speaker 2>knew my parents. My parents knew him somehow, and he

365
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:08.200
<v Speaker 2>agreed to rent the place out to them.

366
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.559
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if there was ever a conversation between your

367
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.480
<v Speaker 1>dad and this landlord, something to the effect of, hey,

368
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:19.440
<v Speaker 1>there's there's a big foot on the property that you're

369
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:21.839
<v Speaker 1>renting to me. Do you know anything about that?

370
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:26.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't know if he ever did

371
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:28.839
<v Speaker 2>talk to him about it. The only the only adults

372
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:30.720
<v Speaker 2>I remember talking about it, Like I said, with my

373
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>dad is his two friends up there, Greg and left

374
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Less is the one across the street with all the kids,

375
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:41.359
<v Speaker 2>and that those are the only people my dad wherever

376
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:46.559
<v Speaker 2>was ever willing to talk to. You know, a few relatives,

377
00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:49.559
<v Speaker 2>a few of the younger relatives. You know, when he

378
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:53.319
<v Speaker 2>did a few drinks in him, he'd regale the youngsters

379
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.119
<v Speaker 2>with a story or two. But they always thought he

380
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:02.039
<v Speaker 2>was just drunken telling stories. I would tell him, no,

381
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:04.839
<v Speaker 2>it's true. I was there, and they'd be like, yeah, yeah,

382
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:10.759
<v Speaker 2>you're cute. Wow, people who live up and don't know

383
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:12.480
<v Speaker 2>they No.

384
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, was there anything ever left near the house that

385
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:26.440
<v Speaker 1>just didn't really make sense, or maybe parts of animals

386
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.599
<v Speaker 1>or just really weird things like that.

387
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:34.279
<v Speaker 2>No, nothing like that, at least not that my dad said.

388
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:39.039
<v Speaker 1>Gotcha, that's true. If there had been, there's a good

389
00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:40.880
<v Speaker 1>chance he could have taken care of it. Because you

390
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:42.039
<v Speaker 1>were so young at the time.

391
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:42.839
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

392
00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:46.799
<v Speaker 1>Do you ever remember seeing any like lots of broken

393
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:52.039
<v Speaker 1>trees or bent over trees, anything like that around the property?

394
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:58.039
<v Speaker 2>Yes, definitely around the house. Sometimes we'd see trees that

395
00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:00.359
<v Speaker 2>were broken or branches that were broken so high up

396
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:04.839
<v Speaker 2>that it would scare my mother. It would really scare

397
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:08.039
<v Speaker 2>her because my dad would you know, it's sspair spairs Mary,

398
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:11.680
<v Speaker 2>It's okay, And she she knew he was lying, and

399
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:13.839
<v Speaker 2>she he finally admitted to her, you know what was

400
00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:16.160
<v Speaker 2>going on, and she's like, well, I already knew that.

401
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:20.519
<v Speaker 2>But they always it was like they always wanted to

402
00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:24.200
<v Speaker 2>pretend that it wasn't happening, because that's what my parents did.

403
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:30.359
<v Speaker 2>My parents were perpetual twelve year olds and they just

404
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:34.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, life was wonderful all day long and nothing

405
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.799
<v Speaker 2>bad ever happened. So that's how they that's how they

406
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:44.039
<v Speaker 2>wanted to live their life. But everybody knew, you know,

407
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:47.359
<v Speaker 2>everybody knew deep down what was going on. And then,

408
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:49.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, we had also had a thing going in

409
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:54.440
<v Speaker 2>our house where we kept finding food inside the house disappearing,

410
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:59.000
<v Speaker 2>and then we were finding clothing disappearing. And then one

411
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:04.920
<v Speaker 2>day I disc I discovered this little doorway upstairs. The

412
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:08.680
<v Speaker 2>house wasn't completely finished, and a couple of the rooms

413
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:11.279
<v Speaker 2>were just kind of framed in, but there was a

414
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:15.039
<v Speaker 2>real big space between a couple of rooms. It was

415
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:19.319
<v Speaker 2>just like empty space, but it was kind of set back.

416
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:22.119
<v Speaker 2>And then there was this wooden wall and I noticed

417
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:23.920
<v Speaker 2>this little door in it, and so I decided to

418
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:26.799
<v Speaker 2>peek in there one day, and there was a sixteen

419
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.200
<v Speaker 2>year old girl living in the wall that she had

420
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:32.200
<v Speaker 2>been there for a few weeks and she had run

421
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:36.119
<v Speaker 2>away from home. So that was that was crazy.

422
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:40.440
<v Speaker 1>It was quite the house, all right, that's that's an

423
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:45.160
<v Speaker 1>absolute nightmare. I'm trying to So did you find that

424
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:49.440
<v Speaker 1>individual yourself? Yes, Oh my goodness, Me and.

425
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:53.680
<v Speaker 2>My two sisters were home alone one day and we

426
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:56.839
<v Speaker 2>found her and we coaxed her out of there and

427
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:59.240
<v Speaker 2>we sat her down in the kitchen, my big sister

428
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:02.519
<v Speaker 2>did and made her stay there until my parents got home,

429
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:06.440
<v Speaker 2>and my parents took her down into town to the

430
00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:12.880
<v Speaker 2>police station. She was just a runaway on her way

431
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:14.240
<v Speaker 2>into our wall.

432
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, she's like, hey, I can get in

433
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:24.119
<v Speaker 1>there unfinished. It's kind of like a Goldilocks type situation.

434
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:27.759
<v Speaker 1>So it was it was pretty obviously that obviously she

435
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:30.079
<v Speaker 1>was a human runway though, like she could talk.

436
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah. It was like, yeah, she was a local girl, right,

437
00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:36.799
<v Speaker 2>she was a local.

438
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:39.039
<v Speaker 6>Girl, that is.

439
00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:41.480
<v Speaker 1>I was not expecting that. That's a little twist, And.

440
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:44.799
<v Speaker 2>That was just something that popped up in my head.

441
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Did your dad finish the house after that? If I

442
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:49.920
<v Speaker 1>would be like, all right, time to finish the house.

443
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:55.000
<v Speaker 2>No, my dad when I was when I was really young,

444
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:57.920
<v Speaker 2>my dad was rear ended in his work truck by

445
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:01.839
<v Speaker 2>a very large semi and he was in the hospital

446
00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:05.480
<v Speaker 2>for many months after that. And although he always tried,

447
00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:08.200
<v Speaker 2>he would always try and get jobs or do some

448
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:12.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of you know, work for himself or things like that,

449
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:14.799
<v Speaker 2>it just he would always end up back in the

450
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:18.799
<v Speaker 2>hospital for doing too much. And so that was another

451
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:21.200
<v Speaker 2>reason why they wanted to live, you know, up in

452
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:24.359
<v Speaker 2>the mountain do subsistence living, I guess, and it just

453
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:27.440
<v Speaker 2>it got too hard on him me. They just couldn't

454
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:31.160
<v Speaker 2>do it anymore. So downtown we moved.

455
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.880
<v Speaker 1>When you moved down to town, did you start hearing

456
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:42.640
<v Speaker 1>stories from other people in town about people that had

457
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:45.559
<v Speaker 1>also have been seeing big Foot in the area.

458
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yeah, I started. I made friends with a girl

459
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:52.400
<v Speaker 2>in town. We became best friends. We are pretty much

460
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:56.759
<v Speaker 2>still to this day. And he knew some people that

461
00:27:58.839 --> 00:28:02.680
<v Speaker 2>they had some kind of a touristy little business thing

462
00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:09.119
<v Speaker 2>up in Monte Cristo, an abandoned blake silvere raining town

463
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:13.079
<v Speaker 2>or something that was up there, and she would go

464
00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:14.880
<v Speaker 2>up there and stay with some friends up there all

465
00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:17.920
<v Speaker 2>the time, and it was like, wait, it was there

466
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:20.680
<v Speaker 2>was a it was like a ski resort or something,

467
00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:23.680
<v Speaker 2>and she would hear stuff all the time from people

468
00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:27.359
<v Speaker 2>about oh, hey, you know, they'd come into the office

469
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:30.519
<v Speaker 2>and be like or into the lobby of this ski

470
00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:35.680
<v Speaker 2>place and be like, hey, we just saw something, and

471
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:39.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, nobody ever knew what to say, like, yeah,

472
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:43.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people see me, but you know, camtters

473
00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:46.400
<v Speaker 2>have always seen things. People coming into town, Hey you

474
00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:49.839
<v Speaker 2>should see what we saw. Up there. We saw a bigfoot.

475
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:53.039
<v Speaker 2>I swear we saw a bigfoot, and it's still to

476
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:55.799
<v Speaker 2>this day people see him up there above Granite Falls.

477
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely. I mean, I think we've heard a few of

478
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:07.039
<v Speaker 1>those on this show. For sure. The area definitely has

479
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:12.200
<v Speaker 1>things going on. It sounds like no one ever experienced

480
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:18.480
<v Speaker 1>any any weird health ailments on the property, nothing that

481
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:20.960
<v Speaker 1>could be attributed to like infrasound or anything like that.

482
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:29.000
<v Speaker 2>No, gotcha, nothing like that. Like I said, there's a

483
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:32.400
<v Speaker 2>lot of things that I've heard from other people, and

484
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:37.319
<v Speaker 2>as far as I know, as far as from what

485
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:40.359
<v Speaker 2>I saw and what I heard and what I've heard

486
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:47.160
<v Speaker 2>from people that I know from the area, it's just

487
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:51.839
<v Speaker 2>seems like some offshoot of apes or humans or whatever

488
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:55.759
<v Speaker 2>that's just lives in the woods and teaps away from

489
00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:59.319
<v Speaker 2>us as much as possible. I don't know about some

490
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:01.400
<v Speaker 2>of the other stuff. If I hear people say, you know,

491
00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:04.400
<v Speaker 2>like they from another dimension or that they can walk

492
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:06.680
<v Speaker 2>through portals, I know nothing about any of that kind

493
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:10.839
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. What I saw seems completely natural to me,

494
00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:15.319
<v Speaker 2>just like anything else out in the woods.

495
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:21.200
<v Speaker 6>It's a little scarier, yeah, absolutely, And then that would

496
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:23.599
<v Speaker 6>push me over the edge if like I was already

497
00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:26.359
<v Speaker 6>amped up about bigfoot being outside my house and then

498
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:29.160
<v Speaker 6>I find a person hiding in the walls upstairs.

499
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Holy Mecca, I would be just messed up for life.

500
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe you're as good as you are, but

501
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:38.039
<v Speaker 1>you know.

502
00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:43.000
<v Speaker 2>My parents were very, very good at handling situations.

503
00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:47.400
<v Speaker 1>That's very good. Do you have any advice for people

504
00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:50.559
<v Speaker 1>that might be in similar situations right now where they

505
00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:54.119
<v Speaker 1>have bigfoot currently on their property.

506
00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:01.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, except that you know that they were

507
00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:07.519
<v Speaker 2>up there first, Try and be understanding of them. Like

508
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I said, when I saw that thing's face, it actually

509
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:15.680
<v Speaker 2>made me sad. It was sad to see us. Leave

510
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:18.880
<v Speaker 2>them alone. If they're not hurting you, don't hurt them

511
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:22.359
<v Speaker 2>if they're coming around your house and scooping and hollering.

512
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Like my dad said it, he always just thought it

513
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:28.599
<v Speaker 2>was a way of saying, just stay away from us

514
00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:30.319
<v Speaker 2>and leave us alone. And they're going to remind us

515
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:37.640
<v Speaker 2>frequently to just, you know, mind darknes and queues. That's

516
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:39.720
<v Speaker 2>about all I can say. I was so young when

517
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:43.400
<v Speaker 2>all that happened, and I was terrified when it did.

518
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Like I said I would, I would run around my

519
00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:48.759
<v Speaker 2>room at night trying to get out of my room

520
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.039
<v Speaker 2>because my room was on the first level and it

521
00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:55.720
<v Speaker 2>faced the woods. I mean there was like trees two

522
00:31:55.759 --> 00:32:00.359
<v Speaker 2>three feet from my window. It was thick woods. So

523
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:03.960
<v Speaker 2>you know that, like I said, that's their home. And

524
00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:06.759
<v Speaker 2>it sounds it feels weird to say this kind of

525
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:12.599
<v Speaker 2>stuff because it just it feels weird to know that

526
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:16.160
<v Speaker 2>I saw that. And over the years, with so many

527
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:19.000
<v Speaker 2>people not believing you or calling you crazy, you start

528
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:23.640
<v Speaker 2>asking yourself, you know, was I crazy? But my dad

529
00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:27.079
<v Speaker 2>wasn't and he saw it too, And so alls I

530
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:30.640
<v Speaker 2>can say is if they're not hurting you, leave them be.

531
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that's great advice.

532
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Mo.

533
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I just want to say thank you for coming on

534
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the show to share what you experienced through that part

535
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:46.960
<v Speaker 1>of your life, and just just to make sure that

536
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:50.720
<v Speaker 1>there wasn't anything else that you wanted to share before

537
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.119
<v Speaker 1>we close things out for it tonight.

538
00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:58.000
<v Speaker 2>There is one kind of piece of advice that I'd

539
00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:00.559
<v Speaker 2>like to give people. Sure, if you're going to be

540
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:05.680
<v Speaker 2>going up onto the mount Loop, whether it's camping, hiking, hunting, fishing,

541
00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:10.079
<v Speaker 2>be very very very careful because the bears in the

542
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Sasquatch aren't what's dangerous up there. It's the people up

543
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:20.200
<v Speaker 2>there now and there's some people that live on the

544
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Mount Loop or that stay on the Mount Loop, and

545
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:28.319
<v Speaker 2>there's things that have happened there. People are the worst

546
00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:32.240
<v Speaker 2>monsters in the world. So just be careful when you're

547
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:35.240
<v Speaker 2>on the Mount Loop on the Granite Fall side, once

548
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:38.400
<v Speaker 2>you get over to the Darrington side, it's a little calmer,

549
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:45.680
<v Speaker 2>but above Granite Falls, be really careful. That's about it.

550
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:48.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that's I mean, that's great. Sounds like great advice.

551
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:54.559
<v Speaker 1>Is that if you're so I'm personally not familiar with,

552
00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:56.680
<v Speaker 1>is that a highway you can be on or is

553
00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:57.799
<v Speaker 1>that a trail you can hike?

554
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:01.160
<v Speaker 2>The mountain highways?

555
00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so it's even if you're on this highways, people

556
00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:07.359
<v Speaker 1>can still be messing with you, is what you're saying.

557
00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, in the camping grounds, and then you know, any

558
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:16.039
<v Speaker 2>if you're out in the woods playing just randomly out

559
00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:20.840
<v Speaker 2>in the woods hiking, we've had we've had murders up there.

560
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:25.480
<v Speaker 2>We've had and there's people who live up there that

561
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:29.199
<v Speaker 2>just if you're going to go up there and go

562
00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:34.559
<v Speaker 2>real far, you know, go at least twenty miles up

563
00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:40.039
<v Speaker 2>past town, because that's kind of the danger zone there.

564
00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:45.719
<v Speaker 1>That's good advice. Always be prepared to survive, but also

565
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:53.280
<v Speaker 1>to protect yourself against right bears, cougars, potentially bigfoot, and

566
00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:56.559
<v Speaker 1>one of the most dangerous predators of all, which would

567
00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:59.440
<v Speaker 1>be human beings. Great advice and mo, thank you so

568
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:02.760
<v Speaker 1>much for coming on the show. Don't be free to
