WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.000 This is the point right here that my entire world changed. 2 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:07.480 You know, when you see something you can't figure what 3 00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:10.919 it is, your mind's trying to rationalize. That's how Anna works. 4 00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:13.000 We measured the next morning when we went out there 5 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.640 to recon it was twenty five foot from us. So 6 00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:17.320 when it stood up, I mean, it was just a 7 00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:19.920 mountain dover us. It was standing straight up. It wasn't 8 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.640 hunched over or anything. And it had a man's profile. 9 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.519 This thing had broad, massive shoulders, and it was very 10 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.280 massive creature. But I bet it's probably close to seven 11 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.000 or eight hundred pounds. Oh, it was this massive. My 12 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.039 mind's condes figure out where I'm looking at. I'm trying 13 00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:37.640 to say it bad, but I knew it wasn't a bear. 14 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:39.880 It looked like a man covered in long hair. 15 00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.640 I'd like to welcome Steve the Bigfoot Crossroads. Steve reached 16 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:21.359 out to me recently and shared quite an event, my friend, 17 00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:25.959 Quite an event.

I was 23 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.719 a nineteen year old soldier in nineteen seventy five stationed 24 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.200 at Fort polkles In and back then I kept to 25 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.359 Societe you for all the years, just until recently a 26 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.680 few years ago. What made me come forward with it? 27 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.079 Of course I didn't come out for years and years 28 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.280 because of the fact, you know, you don't want to 29 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.120 get last at it calls crazy or something like that. 30 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.759 You know that's not just that.

I live way out here. Hello, 44 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:54.280 I love the woods. One of my hunting partners was 45 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.400 my wife's uncle, and we heard men be married since 46 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.360 nineteen eighty four.

But 51 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.280 one day I was thinking about going to a swamp 52 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.840 called Ante Coca Swamp, which is about ten miles from here. 53 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.639 Pretty rough training, it's pretty rough train.

And he said, no one knows about this, 72 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.240 not even your wife, which is his niece. And he 73 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.120 said none of the family knew about this. And I 74 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.560 said I don't want to talk about it. And I said, well, 75 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:31.040 that got my curiosity up right, And I said, uh well, 76 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.519 uncle Rosas, I said, I ain't trying to pressure y'all. 77 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.480 Go ahead and come out with it.

I can't say it, and I can't tell 85 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.959 you well about that what he got me? And I said, 86 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.360 you know what, I had a feeling he's seen something 87 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.959 to know what it was. But I said, if I'm 88 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:07.759 gonna get him and tell his story, guess what I 89 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:11.199 got to do for the first half. Yeah. So I 90 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.160 went out and came out with mine and at the 91 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.839 end of my story, after I finished it, hell man 92 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.800 el Man of the rock, and he gets He was 93 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:25.240 almost in tears. He said, I reckon, I are crazy man. 94 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.639 And he told me his story and that he's seen 95 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.480 something very similar. It's ten miles down down a little 96 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:37.160 bit here at the Unicook Swamp. And that's what started 97 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:38.959 me right there coming out. He came out with the 98 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.279 first time and he told me his story, and that's 99 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.079 when I started realizing there are people who know, people 100 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:48.800 you all know that have seen these creatures have not 101 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.959 come out with their story because they're fat.

After that, I had 105 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.279 started coming a couple of the people about about my 106 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:14.399 experience and ended up talking to a sewer that knew 107 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:19.160 it knew the guy who does did the a podcast 108 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:23.000 Sasquash Theory on YouTube, and I got with him and 109 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:24.519 he asked me to do the show.

Well, 111 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.600 about four months later he got a hold of me 112 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:33.759 and he said, hey, he said, you might want to 113 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:38.399 check your messages on that podcast.

Yeah, and they don't have to go through 127 00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.199 what I went through, giving quiet to have my whole 128 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.480 korea in law enforcement. And you know, I've taken you know, 129 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.600 reports from those some people who've seen these things, and 130 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.480 I never told them my story, of course, but I 131 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.360 admit sure they understood that I believe every word they 132 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:35.199 were saying without having to telling my story because I 133 00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:36.360 wasn't ready to come out yet. 134 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:41.319 The time you took reports personally from bigfoot encounters. 135 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.240 Sure sure did. Wow, there's been lots of sightings around here. 136 00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.959 That's that's when I started to realizing how many, you know, 137 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:51.600 sightings there were. And after that, of course, what Lewis 138 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:54.680 told me his story, There's been several sightings out into Sabine, 139 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.160 which is not far from here, a few miles away 140 00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.199 Sabine River and all area.

The entire happened 171 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:43.480 out of the blue. When I was stationed at Fort 172 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:45.679 Polk back in nineteen seventy five. I had just come 173 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:50.480 down from Fort Benning, Georgia and attached the first Sacy 174 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:52.840 first Infancy Battalion over here at for a pope back 175 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.759 then in seventy five, and I had a girlfriend that 176 00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:00.440 lived on our family farm, and it was kind of 177 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.440 between Camden, Arkansas and foul K, Arkansas, kind of in 178 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:09.240 between that area there out in the woods, and her family, 179 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.879 her dad and her mama would go ahead and do 180 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:13.960 lot or that. They grew their own vegetables as such, 181 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:17.039 and they sold them out there towards Camden. Back then, 182 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.879 Camden was a small town. I don't know how it 183 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.320 is now, if that's back nine years ago holding back 184 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.720 there since, But any case, i'd go up there on 185 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:32.960 weekends and weekends we'd be off, you know, and we'd 186 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.720 go ahead and i'd run over there. It's about five 187 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:37.679 hour drive four and a half five hour drive up 188 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:42.600 to the fall. And I would stay there and got 189 00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.519 to know her family really well, good people. I helped 190 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.960 her daddy worked the farm in the cattle, the hogs, 191 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:52.799 everything they had a two hundred and fifty acre farm 192 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.159 up there, and a lot of cattle and everything. Helping 193 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.440 work them and helping build fences as such. I all 194 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:03.799 have that cover stuff. So it was great. Her grain 195 00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:08.519 was back in time around seventy years old. Very strong 196 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:10.480 kind of gospel gal. I mean she was. She was 197 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.039 hair up and a bun, and I'm very religious. And 198 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.559 she was an incredible cook, And that's one reason I 199 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:19.600 went through long drive. She could cook some Friday chicken. 200 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:23.000 My goodness, I make your hair jump up, and I'll 201 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:26.480 out groceries hiring afraid of them. So I uh, I 202 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:29.200 do up there, and she cooks something back home Friday 203 00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:33.440 even phone when I got up there, and this one 204 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.600 particular Friday night been up there in June. It was 205 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:43.240 a very bright night. The moon was so bright, just 206 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.879 like daytime. You know how that gets. You can see 207 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.720 across the fields everything, it's just real bright. This little 208 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.840 a little man ast you can see everything in detail 209 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.840 almost eight times. And so it was a beautiful, beautiful night. 210 00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:59.240 We had just been aished upper. We were sitting in 211 00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:02.639 the dance all was hunker down there. Uh me and 212 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:06.360 my girlfriend, uh her mom and daddy and her two brothers, 213 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:07.960 and then of course for granny was in the kitchen 214 00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.759 washing dishes, cleaning up. This is an old farmhouse, you know, 215 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.240 wooden farmhouse, been there probably one hundred years. Uh sore 216 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.159 was crick when you walk and everything else had it 217 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.919 was built up on pilots because they was not far 218 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:25.320 from the river, so evidently able to flood out sometimes 219 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.879 when the house diacked up in about nine thirty that 220 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.320 night and never better effect yesterday. I'm here counting even 221 00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:38.360 the visible this thing. Yeah, now thirty eight night. Her 222 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:40.559 granny is in the kitchen and she's strains and I'm 223 00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.279 calling about like some gooden knife in her back. We 224 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.360 all get jumped up, you know, andran in the sereerbody. 225 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.960 I was the first war in the soldier, you know, 226 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.399 going and everything else, and I was used to run. 227 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:55.000 I went that all the hallway, got in that kitchen, 228 00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:56.519 and when I came to and made that bend in 229 00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:59.720 the kitchen door. Here she was sitting on the kitchen floor, 230 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:02.159 and I I dang near could have flipped over her. 231 00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:05.279 I mean, I was like, oh, but she was sitting 232 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.360 on the floor. That old gal was sitting on the 233 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:09.679 floor port at the at the window with the sink, 234 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:12.159 and she was just yelling, I've seen it again, I've 235 00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:15.320 seen it again. Well, you know, uh, the first thing 236 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.320 in my mind, in my military mind, he saw an intruder, 237 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:21.960 someone trying to break in. Scared the fire around every well, 238 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:25.480 her girlfriend's daddy, he says, Everyone arm up. So everyone 239 00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:28.919 went to the pan gun racks on the hall. Will also, 240 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:32.200 everyone grabs out, got some lockers, went up the back 241 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:35.240 door of the kitchen towards the pasture. We got out 242 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.440 there and her two butters went to the right, and 243 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:40.039 you know, daddy went to her to left. We come 244 00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:41.639 off there and the first thing, you know, I'm coming 245 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.240 off some steps and I looked for off the pasture. 246 00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:47.360 Like I said, that bright moon was just so bright. 247 00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:49.759 I could see the cattle on the far end and 248 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:52.039 they were all hunkered up and they were cutting up. 249 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.320 That's the sign when they do that. Of course, you 250 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:57.799 know that they're this predator about. So what got my 251 00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:02.679 attention was this three root kick counts just hunting dogs. 252 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.320 Those things would cut up. I mean, they weren't scared nothing, son, 253 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.480 and uh, they were full grown now and they ready 254 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.879 to run hintry everything. They were under the house and 255 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:17.759 they were all hungried down there, whining, scared to death. 256 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.440 That's what got my attention. That's what got me thinking, 257 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.879 wait a minute, if we're after an intruder, there's one 258 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.879 big fella, one big bad fella. And uh so I 259 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.080 went ahead and I asked her that. I said, hey, 260 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.240 when you're put the dogs, he said, don't worry about that, 261 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.360 to stay close behind me. I'm thinking I thought of 262 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:44.559 it antoner. Well, was I in for a shock? I 263 00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:47.840 faced my life on being level headed and everything. You know, 264 00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:49.559 if I keep seeing, it ain't real. That's what I 265 00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:56.120 always thought. That changed to tonight. We're usually walking, uh 266 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:58.240 towards this corner post. We had just built a fence 267 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:02.200 divider for instaid, divided the pastor from a fifty acre swamp. 268 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:04.519 He didn't want this cattlegoing in that swamp. It was 269 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.480 a pretty bad side. Oh at Briar's thickets and all 270 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.879 kind of stuff. So we're coaching. Yet we caught a stunt, 271 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:16.279 pretty rough, sound like something dead mixed with Madden piss. 272 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.360 And he said it spelled pretty rough. And if he 273 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.480 got close to that, I was thinking to say something 274 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:26.000 about that. We jumped out saw and jumped up and 275 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.480 that thinking. I mean about fifteen ft in front of that, 276 00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:32.000 in that swamp there's a big old rider of thicket. 277 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.840 So it was tiring and burning. Uh. Then we couldn't 278 00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:36.360 see it, couldn't make it out because it was so 279 00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:38.879 thick and cunder. But it was turning, burning, but I 280 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:42.480 mean breaking limbs, just stomping leaves. I mean he was 281 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:44.759 just like a two thousand pound of rhino, just turning 282 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:48.840 the cycles. And then all of a sudden it jumped 283 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:54.360 into the into the past. This is the point right 284 00:15:54.440 --> 00:16:00.159 here that my entire world changed, And this is I'm 285 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:02.360 looking at this thing. You know, when you see something 286 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:05.120 you can't figure out what it is, your mind's tried 287 00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:07.879 to rationalize. That's how the line works. That's about twenty 288 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.000 five foot from I said, we want to talking about 289 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.600 one hundred yards away. We measured the next morning when 290 00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.639 we went out there recon it was twenty five foot 291 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.120 from us. So when it stood up, it was a 292 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:20.399 month I mean, it was just a mountain dover us. 293 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:22.879 It was philanthomous now. So when it stood up, it 294 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:25.240 was facing to our right. So we saw that, we 295 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:29.159 saw its right profile, and it stood up. It had 296 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:31.159 long arms. And next send. In that bright moon, I 297 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:34.799 could see everything ingo hands right, it was hands with 298 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:38.000 below its knees. They were standing straight up. It wasn't 299 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.879 hunched over or anything. But it had very broad shoulders, 300 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.360 and it had a man's profile. You're not a bear. 301 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.080 Bears got a snout. It's very you know, you look 302 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:51.039 at us. A bear's protofile, it's got a snout. A 303 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:55.679 bear's got slope shoulders. This thing had broad, massive shoulders, 304 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:58.399 and it was very massive creature. But I bet it's 305 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:02.320 probably close to seven or eight hundred pounds. Wow and lose. Oh, 306 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:05.119 it was just massive. On my mind's kind of figure 307 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:07.799 out where I'm looking at. I'm srying to say bear, 308 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.000 but I knew it wasn't a bear, not just the 309 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:12.079 fact that bears and knockings, and I don't get no 310 00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.240 more no taller than find maybe fine foot standing on 311 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:19.920 two feet, but this thing was eight foot maybe seven hundred, 312 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.000 eight hundred pounds. It looked like a man covered in 313 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.000 long hair. And then all of a sudden need this 314 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:29.519 bolted gold. He took off of a rocket, ran away 315 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:32.599 from didn't try to attack us. He ran like a 316 00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:36.559 flag star. It didn't never sound all fours. It ran 317 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:40.319 like a track star, I mean, arms pumping every on 318 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:43.599 two feet. And I definitely it wasn't a bear because 319 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:46.960 I see where as lose, I seemed black to all 320 00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.200 kinds of bears. And the bears drew walk like a 321 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.680 man us. But they cannot run like a man. They 322 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:54.720 had to follow the all four to run because they're 323 00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:56.880 hitting the leg structure. Mart all aim to run right 324 00:17:57.119 --> 00:17:59.759 on two foot. So this thing ran in a pack 325 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.480 star across the whole past there like you or me 326 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:06.200 would run across the pasture. Well, they have tracked the 327 00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:11.160 calg and went across that candy boy. I'm inside the 328 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:13.720 factor going through it, and you know he shattered that 329 00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:16.960 cattle gate. And at that point that's what we figured 330 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:20.640 we were from the pracilion any further. Uh. And I 331 00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:22.480 had a partner, right, I was telling us till he 332 00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.200 said he said, well I should caligat you know, may, 333 00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.119 would you know Boston wood or something? We do that 334 00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:33.440 thing I had two by oak. If you never tried 335 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:35.559 to go ahead and break it oak two by six, 336 00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:40.079 number one, they're heaviest. I'll get out number two here. 337 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:44.279 We can do it. It can happen, so especially a 338 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:46.759 few of them there and I'll be real serming Freeing 339 00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:49.559 four conjunction over there, we had tie in and it 340 00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:53.440 shattered them. It's shattered, it's splentered those things. Now we 341 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:55.240 needn't pursue it until the next morning and get a 342 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:58.160 recon of course, went out there and we checked everything, 343 00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:02.000 you know, expected earthman, that's when we really saw the 344 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:05.839 damage did. But after it ran for that, yeah, Eferic 345 00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:10.000 shattered that that cattle get a roar. I ain't never 346 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:12.079 heard of my life. Now, I've been down hut Wood 347 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:16.000 since nineteen eighties, eighty eighty six. We came out here 348 00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:19.400 and moved out here, and uh, that's a lot of years. 349 00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:23.720 I've heard everything, how I mean, growl and roar everything 350 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:26.920 out and I ain't never heard about that. That that 351 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:30.920 was most worth like here. He is the worst, more 352 00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:37.759 loudest for I've ever heard, you know, my life. And 353 00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:41.079 so once it did that, of course, then their tircomer 354 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.799 two brothers on the other side of Boston Nation. Do 355 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.640 you hear that? Did you guys hear that we we've 356 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:53.319 seen this thing.

You know that farmhouse is 373 00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:49.359 probably about a mile from the nearest house, so they're 374 00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:53.680 isolated out there. Uh.

I said, 383 00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:21.920 we can't run our businesses would laugh at or think 384 00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:24.720 we're crazy. He said, no, I don't want that done, 385 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:27.359 he said.

But it 394 00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:56.559 wasn't any man in that sense. Heals me Ins. 395 00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:01.279 Said that, and he said, I think that's because she 396 00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:06.200 was a Pentecostal and you know they don't understand, you know, 397 00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:09.279 they don't believe anything other than what we see in 398 00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:09.799 their eyes. 399 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:15.880 Well, she said it had red glowing eyes.
