Speaker 1: she's experienced over the years. So Mo, welcome to the show.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go ahead and give the floor over
Speaker 1: to you. Feel free to take us back to the
Speaker 1: time when all this stuff started happening For you, and
Speaker 1: I'll let you take it from here.
Speaker 2: All right. When I was a very little girl, sometime
Speaker 2: around nineteen seventy five, my parents decided to leave civilization
Speaker 2: and move up into the mountains. And I was about
Speaker 2: five years old, maybe six, and we moved up to
Speaker 2: a very very large, very beautiful log cabin of past
Speaker 2: Granite Falls, Washington, up by the sixteen mile markers, and
Speaker 2: we had no electricity. We poked on a wood stove
Speaker 2: and it was it was just very remote at the time.
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of people up there now, I think,
Speaker 2: but it was very different then. But yeah, one summer
Speaker 2: we'd been living up there, I think this was in
Speaker 2: seventy seven, and we'd been living there for a while
Speaker 2: and we had never heard our seat. We'd seen bears
Speaker 2: and things like that, but nothing else. And it was
Speaker 2: I believe it was June, and me and my father
Speaker 2: had decided to go and all the other kids were
Speaker 2: gone for the day and we decided to go and
Speaker 2: do something, and he wanted to. He decided it was
Speaker 2: time for me to learn how to fish. So we
Speaker 2: grabbed some poles and there was a place that we liked.
Speaker 2: Everybody liked to fish and It was about a mile
Speaker 2: walk from our house, and we crossed the road and
Speaker 2: go down a dry creek bed for about a mile
Speaker 2: and there was a bend in the still Iguamish River
Speaker 2: there that it pooled right there at the turn in
Speaker 2: the river, and we called it Emerald Pool. It was
Speaker 2: just a really beautiful spot and it was a rocky beach,
Speaker 2: and then on the other side there was a little
Speaker 2: waterfalls and a big cliff and the cliff was about
Speaker 2: i'd say fifty feet fifty feet tall, maybe a little taller.
Speaker 2: So we walked out there and it was a nice walk,
Speaker 2: and we set up our fishing poles and sat down
Speaker 2: to fish, and we were there for about two hours,
Speaker 2: and I did catch my first fish, and I saw
Speaker 2: my dad kind of stiffened and get a really strange
Speaker 2: look on his face and set up off the ground,
Speaker 2: off the rock he was sitting on, and I looked
Speaker 2: over towards the cliff where he was looking and standing
Speaker 2: there was At first I thought it was just a
Speaker 2: really big guy wearing lots of clothes, but I could
Speaker 2: see that my dad was terrified, and I mean he
Speaker 2: was just frozen, and so, you know, looking closer, I
Speaker 2: realized that this was way too big to be a man.
Speaker 2: It was probably close to eight feet tall, covered with
Speaker 2: brown hair, looked very ape like, and was staring down
Speaker 2: at us and my dad. I don't know what he
Speaker 2: was going through at the time, because he just couldn't move.
Speaker 2: He was just frozen. And he stood that way for
Speaker 2: a good couple of minutes. And I said, Dad, what
Speaker 2: is that? And he said, Honey, I don't know what
Speaker 2: that is. I think I know, but I don't know,
Speaker 2: and I think we need to leave. And I looked
Speaker 2: up and I took one last look at it, and
Speaker 2: it was standing there and it kind of had his
Speaker 2: hand on the trunk of a tree, and it was
Speaker 2: looking down at us, and I remember thinking how sad
Speaker 2: it looked. For some reason, it just seemed to have
Speaker 2: a very very sad look on its face. So me
Speaker 2: and my dad turned around and we walked back home
Speaker 2: as fast as we could. And I don't think it
Speaker 2: could have gotten to us unless it jumped off the
Speaker 2: cliff and waded through the river, but he was afraid.
Speaker 2: And we got back to the house, and that night
Speaker 2: we started hearing things around the outside of the house,
Speaker 2: and when we went to bed, at night, my mom
Speaker 2: would come into my bedroom and she would light the
Speaker 2: kerosene lantern and she would turn the wick up only
Speaker 2: so far so that way, within a couple of hours
Speaker 2: it would burn out. And I can remember that for Actually,
Speaker 2: for a lot of nights after that night, we would
Speaker 2: hear branches breaking, we would hear screaming, just howling that
Speaker 2: we had never heard before. Then I would hear breathing
Speaker 2: outside of my window and I would wake up and
Speaker 2: hear this, and I would be terrified, and because the
Speaker 2: lantern had burnt out in my room and it was
Speaker 2: completely dark in there. I can remember I would feel
Speaker 2: around the walls of my room because I had to
Speaker 2: get out of there because it was right outside my window,
Speaker 2: and I didn't know what it was, but I could
Speaker 2: tell it was big, and I had never heard anything
Speaker 2: like that before. And I would finally find the door,
Speaker 2: and then I'd run out into the living room and
Speaker 2: sleep on the couch that night, and I could still
Speaker 2: hear it, but the living room was two stories up,
Speaker 2: so it was you know, I felt a little safer there.
Speaker 2: And we started having things around our house being destroyed,
Speaker 2: like plant My mom had a garden, my dad had
Speaker 2: his own garden. We won't go into what he grew,
Speaker 2: but those would disappear as well. But it was just
Speaker 2: it was scary. It went on pretty much for the
Speaker 2: rest of the time that we lived there, which was
Speaker 2: a couple of years, and I do remember there were
Speaker 2: times when there was enough moonlight to shine light into
Speaker 2: my bedroom window and I could see something out there,
Speaker 2: and I could and it looked like what I saw
Speaker 2: up at emble Pool. And we also had a small
Speaker 2: house right next to our property, and it was the
Speaker 2: strangest little house because I don't know why it had
Speaker 2: been built where it had been built, but it was
Speaker 2: like surrounded by a pond. I don't know if the
Speaker 2: pond gathered there after the house was built, but it
Speaker 2: was a very old, little tiny cabin and above the
Speaker 2: door there was a little sign that said doctor Shivago.
Speaker 2: And we loved us kids loved to explore around in there.
Speaker 2: We weren't supposed to, but we really liked to. And
Speaker 2: I can remember when I would go in there, I
Speaker 2: would smell a smell that would take me back to
Speaker 2: the nights when you know, there's something outside my window,
Speaker 2: and I could hear it, and I could smell that's
Speaker 2: that strong, almost nose burning smell. And I can remember
Speaker 2: there was many times when I could smell that inside
Speaker 2: that cabin, and so we stopped playing in there, but
Speaker 2: it it went on for the next couple of years
Speaker 2: that we lived there. I can't even begin to describe
Speaker 2: the noises that it made. My dad would try and
Speaker 2: tell all the other kids that, you know, it was
Speaker 2: just a bear or acoumber or mountain lion or whatever,
Speaker 2: but I knew what it was, and I can remember
Speaker 2: my dad wanted me to keep what we had seen
Speaker 2: that day from my mom because my mom's scared easily.
Speaker 2: But after it started like showing up around our house
Speaker 2: in the at night, there was no way my mom
Speaker 2: wouldn't hear that and see those things herself. She was
Speaker 2: up late in the night. My mom always got up
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night for some reason for
Speaker 2: an hour or two, and she would see and hear
Speaker 2: things too, And she would always ask my dad, and
Speaker 2: you know, are you sure that's a bear? Are you
Speaker 2: it sounds so big? Are you sure that's a bear?
Speaker 2: And what is that smell? What is this smell I
Speaker 2: keep smelling around the house. Well, my dad finally told
Speaker 2: her what we had seen at Emerald Pool that day.
Speaker 2: And then we finally told we had a couple of
Speaker 2: neighbors up there, one that lived across the river and
Speaker 2: one that lived right across the road, and then we
Speaker 2: were the only ones up there. And so the guy
Speaker 2: who lived across the river, his name was Greg, and
Speaker 2: my dad went to him and talked to him about it,
Speaker 2: about what he had seen, and Greg started telling stories
Speaker 2: because Greg lived up in that little cabin that he
Speaker 2: lived in up there for most of his life, and
Speaker 2: he told us all sorts of stories about what he
Speaker 2: had seen and that there's many of them up there
Speaker 2: and that he had seen them all of his life.
Speaker 2: And yeah, that's that's about That's my story.
Speaker 1: Absolutely fascinating, Mo, thank you, thank you for sharing that.
Speaker 1: I definitely have a few questions for you, going back
Speaker 1: to when you had seen the one where its face
Speaker 1: made you think it was sad. Do you remember if
Speaker 1: there were certain details about the face that made you
Speaker 1: think that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the eyes, it just seemed to have sad eyes,
Speaker 3: almost like it was grining.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I couldn't see tears. I was too
Speaker 2: far away. It just it looked like an old person
Speaker 2: who you see that was shouting or looking really sad
Speaker 2: or looking kind of in Its shoulders were slumped and
Speaker 2: it seemed to sigh a few times. And it's hard
Speaker 2: to explain. It just really looked like it did not
Speaker 2: want to see us there, but that it wasn't angry
Speaker 2: or violent. It was just it just looked sad. It
Speaker 2: had kind of a leathery face, brown leathery face, all wrinkly,
Speaker 2: and it just had a sad, scrench stuff looks on
Speaker 2: its face.
Speaker 1: What were the certain features that stood out to you
Speaker 1: as being more.
Speaker 2: Ape like the face, the hands From as far away
Speaker 2: as I mean, we weren't that far theo i'm o
Speaker 2: pool was actually very small, but the hands looked like
Speaker 2: an ape's hands, you know, back of the hair on
Speaker 2: the back of the hands, but none on the on
Speaker 2: the front sides. I couldn't really see its feet, so
Speaker 2: I don't know, but the hair was it was brown,
Speaker 2: but it was kind of an orange brown. And it
Speaker 2: just it had really long arms, kind of bold legs.
Speaker 2: It was just really ape like.
Speaker 1: Were you able to see any details about shape of
Speaker 1: the head or the neck at all?
Speaker 2: Yeah, The head reminded me of like a gorilla. Just
Speaker 2: darker skin, darker hair. But it looked a lot like
Speaker 2: a gorilla head. I couldn't see the back of it,
Speaker 2: but it did look like a gorilla head, and I
Speaker 2: do if I am remembering correctly, I could. I also think,
Speaker 2: I mean, in my memory, I think it was a
Speaker 2: male because I think I saw some of that too, gotcha.
Speaker 2: And there were no large breasts or anything.
Speaker 1: From what I can From what I can tell, grant
Speaker 1: it falls. There are not a lot of people at
Speaker 1: this time, so you're not having to worry about you know,
Speaker 1: is there a zoo and granite fall or is there
Speaker 1: wild animal Safari theme park? You know that there could
Speaker 1: have been a gorilla escape from nothing like that in
Speaker 1: the area, correct.
Speaker 2: No, No, it was a little tiny log in town.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. You know, when you would walk around the property
Speaker 1: after these nights where you would hear things outside, would
Speaker 1: you ever notice any footprints outside or anything out of
Speaker 1: the ordinary next to the house.
Speaker 4: You know, I don't think I ever really thought to look,
Speaker 4: because I was so young, But I remember my dad
Speaker 4: looking around the house after those nights, and I never really,
Speaker 4: you know, fully understood what he was looking for.
Speaker 2: But I think I know now he never really talked
Speaker 2: about it a lot. It was something that really scared him.
Speaker 2: He was one of those very skeptical people. He did
Speaker 2: not believe in anything out of the ordinary. Life was
Speaker 2: just very straightforward for him. So it's something that he
Speaker 2: just never really liked to talk about too much. But
Speaker 2: when he did talk about it, he agreed with me
Speaker 2: that about what it looked like and about that it
Speaker 2: had a sad look on its face. And when he
Speaker 2: finally started telling people about it, it just this thing
Speaker 2: happened that he always thought what happened. They told him
Speaker 2: it was crazy, except for, you know, our couple of
Speaker 2: friends up there on the mountain. But nobody ever believed us.
Speaker 2: My brothers and sisters barely believed us, even though they
Speaker 2: heard what went on outside. But at that time a
Speaker 2: lot of them were leaving home and going off on
Speaker 2: their own too, and it was pretty much just as
Speaker 2: little kids left. That makes sense.
Speaker 1: That makes sense. Did you and your father have a
Speaker 1: discussion about this when you're older it growed up as
Speaker 1: an adult, Actually, we.
Speaker 2: Had a discussion about it about well, less than a
Speaker 2: year ago. I talked to him about it. I wanted
Speaker 2: to talk. His mind was slipping and I wanted to
Speaker 2: talk to him about things before, you know, he passed
Speaker 2: away in September, and then my mom and we you know,
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk to him about it, and he
Speaker 2: just he said, I he goes. I saw him afterwards.
Speaker 2: I saw them after that. I don't know why we
Speaker 2: never saw them before. Maybe we just weren't looking, And
Speaker 2: we don't know why they started coming around our house
Speaker 2: after we did see them. We did see that one.
Speaker 2: I know that there was times when I would lay
Speaker 2: there and I would think, Oh, there's one outside the window.
Speaker 1: Big for society, who will be right back after these messages, And.
Speaker 2: Then I would realize there was more than one out
Speaker 2: by the window. We never had anything like a lot
Speaker 2: of people describe, no rocks thrown, nothing ever threatening. We
Speaker 2: never heard any strange languages or anything like that. Just
Speaker 2: a lot of heavy breathing. And then when they were
Speaker 2: a little farther from the house, screaming or kind of
Speaker 2: a woot sound at each other. I think I think
Speaker 2: there was more than one. They'd be rooting at each other.
Speaker 2: That's the only way I can describe it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, first off, I'm sorry to hear that you
Speaker 1: lost both of your parents. Recently. Is that is great?
Speaker 1: You were able to have that conversation with your father
Speaker 1: so recent before he did pass. Yeah, how long did
Speaker 1: they end up staying at that property.
Speaker 2: For two more years after that? We were there for
Speaker 2: about four years in total.
Speaker 1: Was there a thing that made them move where? It
Speaker 1: was just at the point that it's time to move on.
Speaker 2: It was time to move on. Living up there was
Speaker 2: becoming a little more than what my mother bargained for.
Speaker 2: Oh And my sister told me because I was telling
Speaker 2: her that I was doing this tonight, and she told
Speaker 2: me something that she had never told me before, and
Speaker 2: that was that once during the summer, and she said,
Speaker 2: this was about seventy seven, my grandparents had a little
Speaker 2: trailer that they lived in on our property in the
Speaker 2: last couple of years that we lived there. And one
Speaker 2: day she was walking towards the trailer and she was
Speaker 2: on one side of it, and my grandpa looked out
Speaker 2: the window and said, don't come around to the other
Speaker 2: side of the trailer, get your ass back in the house.
Speaker 2: And she's like whatever, And she walked around the side
Speaker 2: of the trailer and she saw, she said, she saw
Speaker 2: a bigfoot standing by the trailer and my grandpa had
Speaker 2: come over to the other side of the trailer, and
Speaker 2: he was looking out the window at her and at
Speaker 2: this thing standing there, and he said, get in the
Speaker 2: house now. And she turned around and she ran, and
Speaker 2: it watched her. He said, it watched her running, and
Speaker 2: then it turned her back around and looked at him
Speaker 2: and then just walked away. My grandpa never told me
Speaker 2: about this. I can remember my grandma mumbling something about
Speaker 2: it after she was you know, her mind was a
Speaker 2: little bit gone, But Grandpa didn't talk about a lot dreams,
Speaker 2: so I'm not real surprised he never said anything. But
Speaker 2: my sister was telling me about that today and I
Speaker 2: didn't even know about that.
Speaker 1: That is absolutely fascinating for you, just to learn that today.
Speaker 1: Was she able to describe what she saw and was
Speaker 1: it similar to what you described.
Speaker 2: Which she described exactly what I described, and I hadn't
Speaker 2: even described. You know, it's been a long time since
Speaker 2: I'd said anything. I don't even know if I'd ever
Speaker 2: talked to her much about it because my dad was
Speaker 2: so strange about it. But and you know, she was
Speaker 2: one of those oh there's bears out there, there's nothing
Speaker 2: out there until that day, so but she described it
Speaker 2: just like I described it. And she also said that
Speaker 2: when her and because the family across the road from us,
Speaker 2: they were the only other kids up there, but they
Speaker 2: had the same amount of kids as my parents, and
Speaker 2: we were all around the same age, so we each
Speaker 2: had kind of a buddy we hung out with. And
Speaker 2: her and their older kid, they were out playing with
Speaker 2: the weapons. I don't know who's but apparently, and this
Speaker 2: isn't another thing she told me today. I wasn't sure
Speaker 2: if I wasn't say anything about this or not, But
Speaker 2: apparently the neighbor boy fired at one in the woods
Speaker 2: and it scared her really bad. It ran away. I
Speaker 2: don't know what to think of that story. I I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't think my sister was why to me, but
Speaker 2: I wasn't, you know. I wasn't sure if I wanted
Speaker 2: to tell that one or not. But what the heck,
Speaker 2: we're here. But she said she had also smelled things
Speaker 2: in that cabin. When her and the neighbor boy would
Speaker 2: go in the little doctor Chivago cabin to be alone,
Speaker 2: they would smell that smell in there, and they would
Speaker 2: notice things, and she said she did see footprints occasionally.
Speaker 1: That's absolutely fascinating.
Speaker 5: My other family, my other family members, really, there's a
Speaker 5: couple that I really don't talk too much anymore, but
Speaker 5: so I've never had and they were the older ones
Speaker 5: who were gone pretty much by the time all this
Speaker 5: was happening off starting families of their own, and so
Speaker 5: I've never really asked them if if they saw anything,
Speaker 5: because when you know, I talked.
Speaker 2: About my story, they didn't believe us. They just, oh,
Speaker 2: you guys are seeing bears, You're hearing cougar's But we
Speaker 2: knew we weren't hearing commers and bears. We knew that's
Speaker 2: not what they sounded like, because you know, we knew
Speaker 2: what they sounded like. My dad was a very good outdoorsman,
Speaker 2: and he knew what he was hearing.
Speaker 1: This this home, this cabin area. Did your father and
Speaker 1: your family end up. Did you build that as you
Speaker 1: were moving on or was the cabin already there?
Speaker 2: It was already there.
Speaker 1: Do you know how long it had stayed vacant for
Speaker 1: before you moved into it?
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I don't think it was vacant
Speaker 2: long because the landlord my parents, actually we didn't own it.
Speaker 2: We rented it, and the landlord had been living up there,
Speaker 2: and he decided he wanted to move to town and
Speaker 2: rent the place out. And he thought about renting it
Speaker 2: out as like a summer rental or something, but he
Speaker 2: knew my parents. My parents knew him somehow, and he
Speaker 2: agreed to rent the place out to them.
Speaker 1: I wonder if there was ever a conversation between your
Speaker 1: dad and this landlord, something to the effect of, hey,
Speaker 1: there's there's a big foot on the property that you're
Speaker 1: renting to me. Do you know anything about that?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if he ever did
Speaker 2: talk to him about it. The only the only adults
Speaker 2: I remember talking about it, Like I said, with my
Speaker 2: dad is his two friends up there, Greg and left
Speaker 2: Less is the one across the street with all the kids,
Speaker 2: and that those are the only people my dad wherever
Speaker 2: was ever willing to talk to. You know, a few relatives,
Speaker 2: a few of the younger relatives. You know, when he
Speaker 2: did a few drinks in him, he'd regale the youngsters
Speaker 2: with a story or two. But they always thought he
Speaker 2: was just drunken telling stories. I would tell him, no,
Speaker 2: it's true. I was there, and they'd be like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're cute. Wow, people who live up and don't know
Speaker 2: they No.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, was there anything ever left near the house that
Speaker 1: just didn't really make sense, or maybe parts of animals
Speaker 1: or just really weird things like that.
Speaker 2: No, nothing like that, at least not that my dad said.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, that's true. If there had been, there's a good
Speaker 1: chance he could have taken care of it. Because you
Speaker 1: were so young at the time.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: Do you ever remember seeing any like lots of broken
Speaker 1: trees or bent over trees, anything like that around the property?
Speaker 2: Yes, definitely around the house. Sometimes we'd see trees that
Speaker 2: were broken or branches that were broken so high up
Speaker 2: that it would scare my mother. It would really scare
Speaker 2: her because my dad would you know, it's sspair spairs Mary,
Speaker 2: It's okay, And she she knew he was lying, and
Speaker 2: she he finally admitted to her, you know what was
Speaker 2: going on, and she's like, well, I already knew that.
Speaker 2: But they always it was like they always wanted to
Speaker 2: pretend that it wasn't happening, because that's what my parents did.
Speaker 2: My parents were perpetual twelve year olds and they just
Speaker 2: you know, life was wonderful all day long and nothing
Speaker 2: bad ever happened. So that's how they that's how they
Speaker 2: wanted to live their life. But everybody knew, you know,
Speaker 2: everybody knew deep down what was going on. And then,
Speaker 2: you know, we had also had a thing going in
Speaker 2: our house where we kept finding food inside the house disappearing,
Speaker 2: and then we were finding clothing disappearing. And then one
Speaker 2: day I disc I discovered this little doorway upstairs. The
Speaker 2: house wasn't completely finished, and a couple of the rooms
Speaker 2: were just kind of framed in, but there was a
Speaker 2: real big space between a couple of rooms. It was
Speaker 2: just like empty space, but it was kind of set back.
Speaker 2: And then there was this wooden wall and I noticed
Speaker 2: this little door in it, and so I decided to
Speaker 2: peek in there one day, and there was a sixteen
Speaker 2: year old girl living in the wall that she had
Speaker 2: been there for a few weeks and she had run
Speaker 2: away from home. So that was that was crazy.
Speaker 1: It was quite the house, all right, that's that's an
Speaker 1: absolute nightmare. I'm trying to So did you find that
Speaker 1: individual yourself? Yes, Oh my goodness, Me and.
Speaker 2: My two sisters were home alone one day and we
Speaker 2: found her and we coaxed her out of there and
Speaker 2: we sat her down in the kitchen, my big sister
Speaker 2: did and made her stay there until my parents got home,
Speaker 2: and my parents took her down into town to the
Speaker 2: police station. She was just a runaway on her way
Speaker 2: into our wall.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, she's like, hey, I can get in
Speaker 1: there unfinished. It's kind of like a Goldilocks type situation.
Speaker 1: So it was it was pretty obviously that obviously she
Speaker 1: was a human runway though, like she could talk.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. It was like, yeah, she was a local girl, right,
Speaker 2: she was a local.
Speaker 6: Girl, that is.
Speaker 1: I was not expecting that. That's a little twist, And.
Speaker 2: That was just something that popped up in my head.
Speaker 1: Did your dad finish the house after that? If I
Speaker 1: would be like, all right, time to finish the house.
Speaker 2: No, my dad when I was when I was really young,
Speaker 2: my dad was rear ended in his work truck by
Speaker 2: a very large semi and he was in the hospital
Speaker 2: for many months after that. And although he always tried,
Speaker 2: he would always try and get jobs or do some
Speaker 2: kind of you know, work for himself or things like that,
Speaker 2: it just he would always end up back in the
Speaker 2: hospital for doing too much. And so that was another
Speaker 2: reason why they wanted to live, you know, up in
Speaker 2: the mountain do subsistence living, I guess, and it just
Speaker 2: it got too hard on him me. They just couldn't
Speaker 2: do it anymore. So downtown we moved.
Speaker 1: When you moved down to town, did you start hearing
Speaker 1: stories from other people in town about people that had
Speaker 1: also have been seeing big Foot in the area.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I started. I made friends with a girl
Speaker 2: in town. We became best friends. We are pretty much
Speaker 2: still to this day. And he knew some people that
Speaker 2: they had some kind of a touristy little business thing
Speaker 2: up in Monte Cristo, an abandoned blake silvere raining town
Speaker 2: or something that was up there, and she would go
Speaker 2: up there and stay with some friends up there all
Speaker 2: the time, and it was like, wait, it was there
Speaker 2: was a it was like a ski resort or something,
Speaker 2: and she would hear stuff all the time from people
Speaker 2: about oh, hey, you know, they'd come into the office
Speaker 2: and be like or into the lobby of this ski
Speaker 2: place and be like, hey, we just saw something, and
Speaker 2: you know, nobody ever knew what to say, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: a lot of people see me, but you know, camtters
Speaker 2: have always seen things. People coming into town, Hey you
Speaker 2: should see what we saw. Up there. We saw a bigfoot.
Speaker 2: I swear we saw a bigfoot, and it's still to
Speaker 2: this day people see him up there above Granite Falls.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I mean, I think we've heard a few of
Speaker 1: those on this show. For sure. The area definitely has
Speaker 1: things going on. It sounds like no one ever experienced
Speaker 1: any any weird health ailments on the property, nothing that
Speaker 1: could be attributed to like infrasound or anything like that.
Speaker 2: No, gotcha, nothing like that. Like I said, there's a
Speaker 2: lot of things that I've heard from other people, and
Speaker 2: as far as I know, as far as from what
Speaker 2: I saw and what I heard and what I've heard
Speaker 2: from people that I know from the area, it's just
Speaker 2: seems like some offshoot of apes or humans or whatever
Speaker 2: that's just lives in the woods and teaps away from
Speaker 2: us as much as possible. I don't know about some
Speaker 2: of the other stuff. If I hear people say, you know,
Speaker 2: like they from another dimension or that they can walk
Speaker 2: through portals, I know nothing about any of that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff. What I saw seems completely natural to me,
Speaker 2: just like anything else out in the woods.
Speaker 6: It's a little scarier, yeah, absolutely, And then that would
Speaker 6: push me over the edge if like I was already
Speaker 6: amped up about bigfoot being outside my house and then
Speaker 6: I find a person hiding in the walls upstairs.
Speaker 1: Holy Mecca, I would be just messed up for life.
Speaker 1: I can't believe you're as good as you are, but
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: My parents were very, very good at handling situations.
Speaker 1: That's very good. Do you have any advice for people
Speaker 1: that might be in similar situations right now where they
Speaker 1: have bigfoot currently on their property.
Speaker 2: I don't know, except that you know that they were
Speaker 2: up there first, Try and be understanding of them. Like
Speaker 2: I said, when I saw that thing's face, it actually
Speaker 2: made me sad. It was sad to see us. Leave
Speaker 2: them alone. If they're not hurting you, don't hurt them
Speaker 2: if they're coming around your house and scooping and hollering.
Speaker 2: Like my dad said it, he always just thought it
Speaker 2: was a way of saying, just stay away from us
Speaker 2: and leave us alone. And they're going to remind us
Speaker 2: frequently to just, you know, mind darknes and queues. That's
Speaker 2: about all I can say. I was so young when
Speaker 2: all that happened, and I was terrified when it did.
Speaker 2: Like I said I would, I would run around my
Speaker 2: room at night trying to get out of my room
Speaker 2: because my room was on the first level and it
Speaker 2: faced the woods. I mean there was like trees two
Speaker 2: three feet from my window. It was thick woods. So
Speaker 2: you know that, like I said, that's their home. And
Speaker 2: it sounds it feels weird to say this kind of
Speaker 2: stuff because it just it feels weird to know that
Speaker 2: I saw that. And over the years, with so many
Speaker 2: people not believing you or calling you crazy, you start
Speaker 2: asking yourself, you know, was I crazy? But my dad
Speaker 2: wasn't and he saw it too, And so alls I
Speaker 2: can say is if they're not hurting you, leave them be.
Speaker 1: I think that's great advice.
Speaker 2: Mo.
Speaker 1: I just want to say thank you for coming on
Speaker 1: the show to share what you experienced through that part
Speaker 1: of your life, and just just to make sure that
Speaker 1: there wasn't anything else that you wanted to share before
Speaker 1: we close things out for it tonight.
Speaker 2: There is one kind of piece of advice that I'd
Speaker 2: like to give people. Sure, if you're going to be
Speaker 2: going up onto the mount Loop, whether it's camping, hiking, hunting, fishing,
Speaker 2: be very very very careful because the bears in the
Speaker 2: Sasquatch aren't what's dangerous up there. It's the people up
Speaker 2: there now and there's some people that live on the
Speaker 2: Mount Loop or that stay on the Mount Loop, and
Speaker 2: there's things that have happened there. People are the worst
Speaker 2: monsters in the world. So just be careful when you're
Speaker 2: on the Mount Loop on the Granite Fall side, once
Speaker 2: you get over to the Darrington side, it's a little calmer,
Speaker 2: but above Granite Falls, be really careful. That's about it.
Speaker 1: I think that's I mean, that's great. Sounds like great advice.
Speaker 1: Is that if you're so I'm personally not familiar with,
Speaker 1: is that a highway you can be on or is
Speaker 1: that a trail you can hike?
Speaker 2: The mountain highways?
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's even if you're on this highways, people
Speaker 1: can still be messing with you, is what you're saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the camping grounds, and then you know, any
Speaker 2: if you're out in the woods playing just randomly out
Speaker 2: in the woods hiking, we've had we've had murders up there.
Speaker 2: We've had and there's people who live up there that
Speaker 2: just if you're going to go up there and go
Speaker 2: real far, you know, go at least twenty miles up
Speaker 2: past town, because that's kind of the danger zone there.
Speaker 1: That's good advice. Always be prepared to survive, but also
Speaker 1: to protect yourself against right bears, cougars, potentially bigfoot, and
Speaker 1: one of the most dangerous predators of all, which would
Speaker 1: be human beings. Great advice and mo, thank you so
