Speaker 1: At this point, the screaming noise, the yelling noise, was
Speaker 1: way closer, and it was just so uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: Like I'm like, this is weird. You know.
Speaker 1: When I stood up, this thing yelled down at me
Speaker 1: like it was standing above me. I mean, I thought
Speaker 1: that was it, Like, I mean, this thing was standing
Speaker 1: next to me. They're screaming. I'm screaming, like we're freaking
Speaker 1: the crap out. The moment where I realized that we
Speaker 1: were dealing with some type of like bigfoot is when
Speaker 1: he pushed his hand down on the tent. And that's
Speaker 1: when I looked over at my roommate Tray, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: we're deep into.
Speaker 2: This, like that we're in something here.
Speaker 1: And he's like, that's a human hand, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's a legitimate, five fingered human hand.
Speaker 2: And this thing was huge.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't describe to you the feeling of
Speaker 1: this and how absolutely terrifying it was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's just jump right into it. If you don't
Speaker 3: mind introducing yourself, Maybe tell a little bit about yourself
Speaker 3: and how you ended up on the internet posting your
Speaker 3: big foot encounter.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, my name is Isaiah Syler. I'm actually originally
Speaker 1: from Oregon. Spent most of my life in the woods
Speaker 1: all through Oregon.
Speaker 2: Montana, Colorado.
Speaker 1: You know, pretty aware of you know, of course, every
Speaker 1: animal and their sounds and all sorts of stuff. So
Speaker 1: definitely not novice in this area. But in nineteen ninety nine,
Speaker 1: my entire family, I have two brothers, one sister, my mom,
Speaker 1: and dad, we all moved to Pensacola, Flora so that
Speaker 1: my dad could go to college and get his pastoryal degree.
Speaker 1: So that's how we got to Florida. Just kind of
Speaker 1: moved around the United States a little bit. When I
Speaker 1: got out of my own, I graduated and I was
Speaker 1: in college by sixteen, seventeen years old, so I was
Speaker 1: out on my own pretty quick, just because they raised
Speaker 1: us to be adults instead of kids, so I was
Speaker 1: pushed out of the nest a little early. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we sought off on this adventure and became Floridians. Ended
Speaker 1: up marrying a local, having five kids, ran my own
Speaker 1: renovation company for ten years, and now I'm.
Speaker 2: Just a simple sales associate for bathfitter.
Speaker 1: But I sitting there the other day and I just
Speaker 1: honestly thinking about that story. And you know, from time
Speaker 1: to time I think about it and just like think,
Speaker 1: you know, that is absolutely the craziest experience I've ever
Speaker 1: had in my life. I told a couple people here
Speaker 1: and there, I mean just around a campfire, that's that's
Speaker 1: a pretty prime story around a campfire, and and you know,
Speaker 1: just at random, but probably maybe three or four people.
Speaker 1: And then yeah, just sitting there and I'm like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I bet a lot of bigfoot enthusiasts would
Speaker 1: want to hear this. And one of the reasons, of course,
Speaker 1: I didn't come out with it earlier, was just how
Speaker 1: crazy it is. I mean, I researched, and we went
Speaker 1: online and I mean just really scoured the internet at
Speaker 1: that time to find other people experiencing similar.
Speaker 2: Things than we did.
Speaker 1: And we did find a few videos that had the
Speaker 1: same scream, which just gave us chills down our spine,
Speaker 1: but none of them really had that temperature change, so
Speaker 1: that really freaked us out. And then it was just
Speaker 1: how interactive a bigfoot got with our campsite and our
Speaker 1: tent and all those things, and so it was definitely
Speaker 1: pretty intriguing. But but yeah, I was just sitting there
Speaker 1: and then I'm like, I think it's time I really
Speaker 1: at this point don't really care what people think.
Speaker 2: About me on social media.
Speaker 1: So that's I'm past that stage in my life. So
Speaker 1: I think that probably played a little bit into it
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 3: But yeah, take us back, man, what happened when where
Speaker 3: all the good stuff?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So it was just three friends and I it was
Speaker 1: my roommate, his girlfriend, and then just a buddy of ours.
Speaker 1: And in two thousand and five, in August, we were
Speaker 1: thinking about something to do. We all had the weekend off,
Speaker 1: and man, we just thought, you know, what better way
Speaker 1: to spend this then just go float down Blackwater. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if any of your listeners ever been
Speaker 1: to Blackwater River, which a few of the comments on
Speaker 1: those those Facebook pages really kind of gave me an
Speaker 1: idea that there's a lot of people in this area
Speaker 1: that that listened, but you know, they know Blackwater and
Speaker 1: it's just beautiful. It's it's so quiet, relaxing, it's just
Speaker 1: a really nice float. So we thought, you know, what
Speaker 1: better way to experience that weekend than go further up
Speaker 1: where you don't have as many rednecks and uh, because
Speaker 1: it is what we call it, one of the redneck
Speaker 1: rivieras of Florida.
Speaker 2: But uh, it's so much fun. But so we went up.
Speaker 2: We're like, man, that first day is going to be
Speaker 2: super relaxing.
Speaker 1: Second day, you know, we're just gonna float around with
Speaker 1: other people in the river and talk and make new friends.
Speaker 1: And and so we drove I believe it was seven miles,
Speaker 1: but I could be mistaken in the mile enge, but
Speaker 1: we drove seven miles past the main location where you
Speaker 1: put in on Blackwater River and uh, you know, obviously
Speaker 1: parked parked a car there and and then had our
Speaker 1: cars parked and and the end zone at Adventures Unlimited,
Speaker 1: which is the main location where everybody pretty much gets
Speaker 1: out of the river and there's a kind of a
Speaker 1: little theme parks thing going on over there. Uh but yeah,
Speaker 1: so or more of an adventure park. But uh, so
Speaker 1: we set off and we got in the water, and
Speaker 1: not even I would say, an hour into the float,
Speaker 1: we just kept hearing way off in the distance this
Speaker 1: this weird scream, and it really we laughed about it
Speaker 1: because it was like an old man and like a
Speaker 1: gorilla at the same time.
Speaker 2: It was just really weird.
Speaker 1: And so we were having kind of little debates back
Speaker 1: and forth on what it could be because we do
Speaker 1: have bobcats in that area and bore and you know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of animals in that area that make
Speaker 1: some cool noises.
Speaker 2: So I couldn't really put my finger on anything that
Speaker 2: it was. So it concerned me just a little bit.
Speaker 1: And you know, the further we went down the river,
Speaker 1: the closer this thing got, and we started to get
Speaker 1: a little bit concerned, and we're like, man, this thing
Speaker 1: is getting closer, but it was just still far enough off.
Speaker 2: You can hear the echo.
Speaker 1: I mean, like you can tell that it's still probably
Speaker 1: a mile or so away or further. And and so
Speaker 1: came around an embankment on one part of the river
Speaker 1: and there's just this big, beautiful beach enough for all
Speaker 1: of us kind of set our tents up in privacy
Speaker 1: and made it can fire. There was actually already a
Speaker 1: campfire there, so someone used that beach at one time,
Speaker 1: and and some old beer cans and things just laying
Speaker 1: in the sand, and so it kind of cleaned up
Speaker 1: the beach and UH started getting the wood and everything
Speaker 1: for the fire. And and I went back into this
Speaker 1: area on the right side of this beach, and there
Speaker 1: was these four skinny trees and they're pretty close to
Speaker 1: each other. And someone stacked these trees, I mean actually
Speaker 1: pretty nicely in the four trees and making a wall
Speaker 1: in This wall was probably seven or eight feet tall,
Speaker 1: and it was impressive.
Speaker 2: I mean, I was like, someone really took some time
Speaker 2: and attention in doing this.
Speaker 1: And then I noticed on both sides of the trees
Speaker 1: that were stacked that these trees were twisted like someone
Speaker 1: would you know, take a twig or something and twist
Speaker 1: it until it comes off the branch.
Speaker 2: And man, that that just blew my mind.
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, what kind of power would you need
Speaker 1: or some type of machine that would grab a tree
Speaker 1: or do that.
Speaker 2: So I called and called everybody over there.
Speaker 1: They took a look at it, and then obviously we
Speaker 1: all agreed obviously no one someone doesn't want us to
Speaker 1: go back into that area. And there was there was
Speaker 1: like a walking path on the other side of this,
Speaker 1: and uh so it was weird because I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: you could just walk around this wall, so there was
Speaker 1: no fence or man made anything. It was like some
Speaker 1: something intentionally did this just to say I don't need
Speaker 1: a need a fence.
Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of like just blocked off the walking path
Speaker 3: right there, leading leading out of the camping area or.
Speaker 2: Yeah, leading out of the camping area in the woods.
Speaker 1: And uh and and so we were like, all right,
Speaker 1: you know, respect whoever's property this is now that That
Speaker 1: thing that was kind of crazy was there was no
Speaker 1: cell phone signal out we're here. We were so far
Speaker 1: up and obviously in two thousand and five we don't
Speaker 1: we didn't have really the cell towers or the cell
Speaker 1: phones we have today. But I mean it was just
Speaker 1: all on on our phones.
Speaker 2: It was X. And there was no docks.
Speaker 1: Typically in Blackwater River when there's a property on black
Speaker 1: Water you got a little dog and things.
Speaker 2: You can see the house right and there was just nothing.
Speaker 1: For for hours when we were floating, and uh and
Speaker 1: so we kind of thought, and we didn't see on
Speaker 1: the map when we looked it up online, we didn't
Speaker 1: see on the map any houses.
Speaker 2: In this area.
Speaker 1: But but still I was like, it's probably some someone's
Speaker 1: hunting camp or something like that.
Speaker 2: We'll leave it alone. And uh so we.
Speaker 1: Settled down, get everything set up, put our tents up
Speaker 1: and everything, and uh pulled out. We had a cooler
Speaker 1: beers and stuff and pulled that out and at this
Speaker 1: point that the screaming noise, the yelling noise, was way closer,
Speaker 1: and it was just so uncomfortable. Like I'm like, this
Speaker 1: is weird, you know, but you know, you've been on
Speaker 1: one hundred different camp camping trips. You hear yells and
Speaker 1: screams and things like that, howling, it never really comes
Speaker 1: into your camp.
Speaker 2: It's very real, rare if something does do that.
Speaker 1: And uh, and so it was still kind of just
Speaker 1: writing it off like whatever, it's just some some animal
Speaker 1: out there. And I was I was a little bit nervous,
Speaker 1: so I only drank a couple of beers. My other
Speaker 1: buddy he just I mean down as many beers as
Speaker 1: he can, passed out in his tent. He was out by.
Speaker 1: He's just an extreme guy, so he was out by
Speaker 1: like nine thirty something like that. And then it was
Speaker 1: just my roommate and his girlfriend and we're sitting around
Speaker 1: the campfire and just talking and we just kept getting
Speaker 1: interrupted for about an hour or so from this scream.
Speaker 1: And so finally late at night ten ten thirty or something.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm kind of guessing at the time frame
Speaker 1: because it was two thousand and five, a little a
Speaker 1: little further out then my memory goes in those small details, right,
Speaker 1: you know, started setting to the can camp up, putting
Speaker 1: the cooler where it needs to be so that no
Speaker 1: animals got the food and all that stuff and got
Speaker 1: in our tents. And at this point it was pretty
Speaker 1: close and very uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: I'm like, guys, should we worry about this scream?
Speaker 1: I mean, this thing has to be just a football
Speaker 1: field away or something.
Speaker 2: And it was loud, I mean, it was just weird.
Speaker 1: And my buddy, my roommate, he and I'm trying not
Speaker 1: to use his names, but he just was the most
Speaker 1: skeptical person in the world. I mean, we all are
Speaker 1: Christians and we believe in God and stuff, but I
Speaker 1: would have to convince them God exists like every other week.
Speaker 1: Like this guy was the most skeptical person about everything.
Speaker 2: And so he's like, nah, I don't worry about it.
Speaker 2: It's just a bear this or that. And he's never
Speaker 2: he's never lived in the woods, So I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, it's not a bear, man, Unless this thing's broken,
Speaker 1: it's not a bear.
Speaker 3: From the first time that you heard the scream until
Speaker 3: this point, how much time has passed?
Speaker 1: That was probably one o'clock in the afternoon till ten
Speaker 1: ten thirty at night, So it's been going on for
Speaker 1: a really long freaking tient. Yeah, that ain't an animal,
Speaker 1: Yeah no, And that's why I was like, guys, like
Speaker 1: you don't understand, Like animals don't scream that long like these.
Speaker 2: This is not normal.
Speaker 1: And uh, the weird thing that just I've always thought
Speaker 1: for years is like this thing was a really really
Speaker 1: really really far away what attracted it to us?
Speaker 2: That's that's what really intrigued me.
Speaker 1: Unless we walked into his territory and it was just
Speaker 1: by chance that we were. We were in his property
Speaker 1: and he wasn't happy about it.
Speaker 2: But like from from how far he was off.
Speaker 1: Which knowing how big he was, I mean, he could
Speaker 1: probably run a pretty good distance without you know, or
Speaker 1: in a short period of time.
Speaker 2: But that always and you know, obviously I've had a
Speaker 2: lot of time.
Speaker 1: To think about this, but uh, just just interesting that
Speaker 1: it would do it for that period of time. It
Speaker 1: would stop for like an hour or so in different intervals,
Speaker 1: but we weren't paying attention, but then we would just
Speaker 1: hear it again, you know, but it was there was
Speaker 1: breaks in between. Yeah, but uh, but at this point,
Speaker 1: you know, we were in our tents, were laying there.
Speaker 1: I couldn't sleep because this thing was screaming and they
Speaker 1: were all giggling and talking in their tent, and so
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I just I'm gonna get a
Speaker 1: bottle of water, and I'm just gonna, you know, just
Speaker 1: try to try to ease my mind in some way.
Speaker 1: Just just go get a drink of water. So I
Speaker 1: got out of my tent and asked them if they wanted.
Speaker 2: A bottle water.
Speaker 1: Walked across the beach and it was about I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't even remember what I what I said on
Speaker 1: the video, probably fifty or so yards away from our tent,
Speaker 1: and I grabbed the three bottles of water, and when
Speaker 1: I stood up, this thing yelled down at me like
Speaker 1: it was standing above me. And there was there was
Speaker 1: like the shrubbery and kind of like some bushes and
Speaker 1: stuff near our camp, like or where the where I
Speaker 1: was standing, and so that was probably six or seven
Speaker 1: feet away, and this thing was standing in those bushes
Speaker 1: and it screamed down at me, and it like, I mean,
Speaker 1: I can't describe to you the feeling of this and
Speaker 1: how absolutely terrifying it was. I mean, I thought that
Speaker 1: was it, Like, I mean, this thing was standing next
Speaker 1: to me, and I just with everything inside of me,
Speaker 1: I just took off, running towards their tent, got inside
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 2: And at this point they're screaming.
Speaker 1: I'm screaming, like we're freaking the crap out trying to
Speaker 1: figure this out. His girlfriend's crying like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: it was just horrible. It was like a horror movie.
Speaker 1: I mean seriously. And then it was when we heard
Speaker 1: the footsteps. So we heard the footsteps and it started
Speaker 1: walking towards our tent and the temperature changed. That's when
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I've experienced a lot of things in
Speaker 1: my life. We've done a lot of inner city ministry,
Speaker 1: where you know, one of the things we say in
Speaker 1: the inner city is darkness doesn't hide. We've seen a
Speaker 1: lot of weird stuff and things that I can't explain,
Speaker 1: and so I kind of knew at this point that
Speaker 1: we were dealing with something that was way deeper than
Speaker 1: just like an animal or like even just a bigfoot
Speaker 1: messing with us. Like there was some spiritual kind of
Speaker 1: thing in this and and it that that's what really
Speaker 1: like put me into a place where I'm like Lord,
Speaker 1: I'll never drink again. I'll never this is it, Like
Speaker 1: I'm in your hands, take the wheel, Jesus, you know,
Speaker 1: but uh, I did like trying to make sense of
Speaker 1: that your brain. I mean, you just feel like you're
Speaker 1: going crazy. And this thing's walking towards our tent and
Speaker 1: you can you can feel the footsteps and hear the footsteps,
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm doing the calculations in my head. I'm like,
Speaker 1: this thing is heavy. I mean, if anybody's ever walked
Speaker 1: in that beautiful white sand at black Water, I mean
Speaker 1: in the area we have the whitest beaches in the
Speaker 1: world in Pennsicul, Florida, pearly white beaches, and there the
Speaker 1: sand is so soft, it's not like an East Coast
Speaker 1: sand and and so man, Yeah, to to make any
Speaker 1: type of movement or feel that in the sand.
Speaker 2: You got to be hundreds of pounds.
Speaker 1: And it walked up to our tent and that's when
Speaker 1: we all just kind of laid down, and his girlfriend
Speaker 1: buried her head into his his arms, and and it
Speaker 1: just started screaming at our tent as loud as it could,
Speaker 1: smacking it, I mean, trying to push it. But obviously
Speaker 1: it's a tent and it's staked down so it's not
Speaker 1: go anywhere, but he was like pushing the sides of it.
Speaker 1: And then and I'm just looking up, like what do
Speaker 1: I do about this? I mean, I'm my roommate's yelling
Speaker 1: at it to stop, but I don't think that's working.
Speaker 1: So when I the moment where I realized that we
Speaker 1: we're dealing with some type of like bigfoot, is when
Speaker 1: he pushed his hand down on the tent. And that's
Speaker 1: when I looked over at my roommate Tray and I'm like,
Speaker 1: we're we're deep into this, like that we're in something here.
Speaker 1: And he's like, that's a human hand, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's that a legitimate five fingered human hand. And this
Speaker 1: thing was huge, like he can that thing just could
Speaker 1: probably close fist of basketball.
Speaker 2: And then the hand was so big, like it was
Speaker 2: so big.
Speaker 1: I mean, just again, our brains like trying to make
Speaker 1: sense to this, but it just wasn't. And so laying
Speaker 1: in that tent, it walked around the tent, it would
Speaker 1: walk away from the tent. It sounded like he was
Speaker 1: messing with our other Buddi's tent. But of course he
Speaker 1: was like dead to the world. I don't know how
Speaker 1: in the world that guy did not wake up, but
Speaker 1: you can hear his tent moving around, and so we were
Speaker 1: like hoping that he wasn't like opening that tent or
Speaker 1: like do.
Speaker 2: Anything to him.
Speaker 1: It just walked around our campsite, screaming, throwing things, ripping stuff.
Speaker 1: It ripped this is It just blew my mind at
Speaker 1: the sheer power that it ripped our cooler in half.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like it ripped the lid off and like
Speaker 1: then ripped and you know, like that it was closed
Speaker 1: and this thing looked like our cooler. It was a
Speaker 1: typical Igloo cooler. It wasn't some you know, nice one.
Speaker 1: But uh, it like twisted and ripped this thing in half.
Speaker 1: And uh and then that we found out the next morning.
Speaker 1: But uh, and it came back to our tent.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: At this point, the second time it came to our tent,
Speaker 1: there was a bush behind our tent and it was
Speaker 1: pretty close to our tent, and he just ripped that
Speaker 1: thing in half.
Speaker 2: Like you just hear the snap whoosh, and you can see.
Speaker 1: The side of the tent move because he just ripped
Speaker 1: the roots right out of the ground and uh, and
Speaker 1: then started pushing down on our tent again, screaming at
Speaker 1: our tent. And man, at this point, I felt like
Speaker 1: I was almost numb to the experience because it was
Speaker 1: going so long. Like I'm just sitting there like that,
Speaker 1: there's nothing I can do in this, in this situation,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know Grant, uh my buddy or my
Speaker 1: roommate Tray and I we just we were along for
Speaker 1: the ride, and his girlfriend the same Sustas buried her
Speaker 1: head the whole time and crying and screaming and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. And uh, and then I heard it walk
Speaker 1: across the river and then you hear just like snapping
Speaker 1: and breaking for the rest of the night and him screaming,
Speaker 1: and he wasn't screaming as loud as he was before.
Speaker 1: It was like he was getting over it or over
Speaker 1: over it or something. But uh, this is snap snapping
Speaker 1: and screaming. And so I finally fell asleep, I don't
Speaker 1: know what time, but woke up and the sun was out,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, you know.
Speaker 2: It's over. I can't believe like that happened.
Speaker 1: And we lived through it, and so got out of
Speaker 1: my tent, and uh, you know, the area was littered
Speaker 1: with massive footprints. I mean, these things were huge footprints,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know, then kind of like realizing
Speaker 1: that we did actually have a big foot experience like this,
Speaker 1: this is that.
Speaker 2: That creature, you know. And the temperature was back that
Speaker 2: was perfectly normal.
Speaker 1: And uh, so I knew it wasn't a cold front
Speaker 1: unless it was some weird like couple hour cold front,
Speaker 1: which I've never experienced in Florida, but uh, but I
Speaker 1: guess it could be.
Speaker 2: I saw it.
Speaker 1: I actually saw that on one of the comments, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, you never know, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: some freak event. But trying to of course, trying to
Speaker 1: rationalize this and and uh and you know, everything's ripped up,
Speaker 1: and so I've kind of surveyed every area, noticed that
Speaker 1: my buddy's tent is okay, and uh and then I
Speaker 1: noticed that that they had that damage on the other side.
Speaker 1: And you can see a significant kind of like uh
Speaker 1: damage to the clay on the other side of the embankment.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, oh, just so he did actually go
Speaker 1: up there, you could tell.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go check that out.
Speaker 1: And so I was like getting the canoe into the
Speaker 1: water and luckily he didn't do anything to our actual
Speaker 1: flotation devices, which it again that that made me to
Speaker 1: believe that there was there was an intelligent intelligence behind it,
Speaker 1: and the fact that he just didn't want us git there,
Speaker 1: like yeah, he didn't want us ever coming back, and
Speaker 1: so he didn't destroy anything that we needed to move on,
Speaker 1: which was interesting. But uh, I was getting the canoe
Speaker 1: in the water. My buddy woke up and he comes
Speaker 1: out of the tent just like what the frick and
Speaker 1: he's saying, we had a bear attack or something, and
Speaker 1: there was all this stuff, and I'm like, do you
Speaker 1: honestly think a bear would make that footprint? And so
Speaker 1: his brain is going through the same process that we
Speaker 1: were going through last night, and he's trying to wrap
Speaker 1: his head around all of this, and I said, jump
Speaker 1: in the canoe with me.
Speaker 2: I want to go check out that embankment. And he's like,
Speaker 2: what did this?
Speaker 1: And I told him I think it was bigfoot, and
Speaker 1: obviously he's like, there's no way, no way, and didn't
Speaker 1: wake up.
Speaker 2: That entire night just blew my mind.
Speaker 1: But I got in the canoe, we went across the river,
Speaker 1: we climbed the embankment, and then six feet up on
Speaker 1: these trees were twisted like the trees that were you know,
Speaker 1: stacked into those four trees, and they were twisted and
Speaker 1: snapped and some were still attached to the tree and
Speaker 1: some were completely snapped off the trees. But there had
Speaker 1: to have been over a dozen of these things, Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, the sheer power of doing that even once,
Speaker 1: but multiple times.
Speaker 2: It was just crazy. And so we're checking it all out.
Speaker 1: We come to the area where it looked like it
Speaker 1: was it kind of moved some stuff and cleared some brush.
Speaker 1: Two giant butt prints, biggest butt prints I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: Got a laugh out of that, and that was that
Speaker 2: was a lot of fun. But I saw that.
Speaker 1: I mean, where he sat down there was a bush
Speaker 1: and it was it was also ripped in half. And
Speaker 1: then uh, there was no no damage any further. And
Speaker 1: so we were walking back and that's when my roommate
Speaker 1: woke up and he came out of his tent and
Speaker 1: he's like, dude, let's just go.
Speaker 2: I don't want to beer anymore.
Speaker 4: Like he was just completely done because I didn't get
Speaker 4: any sleep last night, you know, just trying to help
Speaker 4: his girlfriend go to sleep and she wouldn't go to
Speaker 4: sleep and she was terrified and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: So he's he was completely done, and we're like, no problem,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll get back over there and we'll be
Speaker 1: on our way and get to the area where you
Speaker 1: go down the abankment to get the canoe. And then
Speaker 1: we noticed some more damage to the left, which was
Speaker 1: directly in front of our campsite, and so we walked
Speaker 1: over there, and as we were walking over and kind
Speaker 1: of surveying the damage, it was just like the bottom
Speaker 1: of this tree just pretty much blew up, like just boom.
Speaker 1: And it was like a half rotted, huge oak tree
Speaker 1: like had some damage, but it still had some greenery
Speaker 1: and stuff on it. But this thing, I mean came
Speaker 1: at us. It wasn't a slow fall either. I mean
Speaker 1: this it was before you knew it it was. It
Speaker 1: was falling on us, and we both dove out of
Speaker 1: the way. I didn't know my buddy Grant dove out
Speaker 1: of the way. All I knew was I dove out
Speaker 1: of the way, and when I turned around, he was gone,
Speaker 1: and I thought this tree crushed him. So I'm screaming
Speaker 1: his name, and at the same time, I just feel
Speaker 1: this good and I'm talking this real I mean the
Speaker 1: ground I bounced. It was such a heavy hit on
Speaker 1: the ground, and then you just hear this boom boom
Speaker 1: boom boom, and you're feeling the footprints and something running
Speaker 1: off and so I'm screaming at this point.
Speaker 2: God grant, you know. And he's like, man, I'm okay,
Speaker 2: I'm okay.
Speaker 1: What was that. We're trying to climb out of this
Speaker 1: tree and I mean, we fell between these these big
Speaker 1: branches and by the grace of God, we no one
Speaker 1: got hurt. But we climb out and we look over
Speaker 1: at my roommate and he is pale white. I mean,
Speaker 1: and this guy is like slightly Italian like, he has
Speaker 1: kind of a darker complexion and uh and I'm I'm
Speaker 1: talking like, he's pale white.
Speaker 2: And he's just standing there, drops his.
Speaker 1: Water bottle, uh, turns around and just screaming, we gotta go,
Speaker 1: we gotta go, we gotta go. Jumped on his tent
Speaker 1: with his girlfriend inside of it while trying to disassemble
Speaker 1: the tent, and he's just freaking out.
Speaker 2: We're like, try, what did you say? You know, it's
Speaker 2: like and he's he's like, don't.
Speaker 1: Worry about it.
Speaker 2: We gotta go.
Speaker 1: You know what, everything we gotta go. We gotta go,
Speaker 1: and and I'm like, all right, you know, we'll do it.
Speaker 1: We we got on the other side of the river,
Speaker 1: we got everything packed and he's like, if you don't mind,
Speaker 1: I'm taking the canoe and uh and man, he literally
Speaker 1: ran from one beach. If if you saw picture on
Speaker 1: the on the actual post, he ran from one beach
Speaker 1: to the next. Like he would run and then jump
Speaker 1: in the canoe and it would push the canoe to
Speaker 1: the next beach and then he would just jump out,
Speaker 1: grab the rope, take off running. And he did that
Speaker 1: all the way back to the cars, which I mean
Speaker 1: he did another several hour float and probably two or
Speaker 1: three hours, and we I, uh, my other buddy and
Speaker 1: I we just we just floated normally because we're like,
Speaker 1: I mean, what what are we going to do at this.
Speaker 2: Point, We're not We're not doing that. You know, I
Speaker 2: don't know what that was. We're not doing that.
Speaker 1: So uh So, yeah, we get back to the house.
Speaker 2: It had to been probably two weeks later. Uh.
Speaker 1: He finally comes to me and he's like, I got
Speaker 1: to tell you what I saw.
Speaker 2: I haven't been able to sleep.
Speaker 1: I see this thing in my dreams, I think about
Speaker 1: this thing and it makes me like lose lose concentration
Speaker 1: on what I'm doing. He goes, I just can't get
Speaker 1: it out of my head, and I think you need
Speaker 1: to talk about it.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, please, like I'm ready for this.
Speaker 1: And he said when he when he got out of
Speaker 1: the tent, he grabbed bottle of water and he tilted
Speaker 1: it up to drink the bottle of water, and he
Speaker 1: looked up and this thing was sitting in the tree staring.
Speaker 2: At him, and.
Speaker 1: And he he just like, what what the And he
Speaker 1: sees it, and he said it was like a dark
Speaker 1: like blackish brown fur hair like long hair. It had
Speaker 1: like a no hair on its face, and it was
Speaker 1: like this this like grayish tone skin on the face.
Speaker 2: And then there's like huge eyes. And he said the eyes.
Speaker 1: Were enormous, like like abnormally large eyes, not like human eyes,
Speaker 1: but these you know, almost like if you think like
Speaker 1: alien eyes.
Speaker 2: You know aliens have the really big eyes. Yeah, kind
Speaker 2: of like that.
Speaker 1: He's like, he's just huge eyes. And this thing was
Speaker 1: just pitch black eyes. You know, you couldn't see anything else,
Speaker 1: just pitch black eyes. And it and it stood up
Speaker 1: and looked at him, and he said, at that point,
Speaker 1: it was almost like it knew everything about him and
Speaker 1: it and it knew it was like something telepathically like
Speaker 1: He's like, do that thing was was like making me
Speaker 1: aware that it knew me kind of thing, like I'm like, what, Like,
Speaker 1: what are you trying He's trying to explain this to me.
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, what in the world are you talking about.
Speaker 1: He's like, it knew things about me, and uh. And
Speaker 1: and then he said it just turned and jumped away
Speaker 1: from you guys. And he said, when this thing launched
Speaker 1: out of the tree, he goes, there had to been
Speaker 1: nine feet tall, eight nine feet tall, something like that,
Speaker 1: and it jumped and launched the tree with with the
Speaker 1: amount of force of the body, launched the tree at us.
Speaker 1: And that's that's when the bottom of the tree snapped and.
Speaker 2: All that stuff.
Speaker 1: And then it just landed and took off running, and uh,
Speaker 1: that that's our experience. So that was that was so terrifying,
Speaker 1: so terrifying. But yeah, and a little little PTSD about it.
Speaker 1: I was even writing it out and I had to
Speaker 1: like stop and like take a break here and there
Speaker 1: just writing it because I like thinking all the details
Speaker 1: again and it's definitely not something I ever want to
Speaker 1: experience ever again. And we've never been back. That was
Speaker 1: the last time I actually floated Blackwater River.
Speaker 3: I mean, geez, man, I'm assuming that your friend who
Speaker 3: saw it wasn't like a bigfoot guy or anything not
Speaker 3: in the Bigfoot.
Speaker 2: Now, if if he.
Speaker 1: Couldn't see it and feel it, it didn't exist to him.
Speaker 2: And that, I mean, that is the best best way
Speaker 2: to describe him.
Speaker 1: He was the most practical, logical person you've ever met
Speaker 1: in your life. I mean, and that I mean, is
Speaker 1: such a good guy, like we were like brothers. But
Speaker 1: but yeah, no, he wasn't a bigfoot guy.
Speaker 3: I don't say. I'm not saying this to like question
Speaker 3: your story. I'm just saying that if someone were to
Speaker 3: imagine bigfoot or what bigfoot were like, who had never
Speaker 3: had any interest in this subject, the giant eyes and
Speaker 3: telepathic stuff like, that's not something that I you would
Speaker 3: think of, you know what I mean, Like, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 3: it would just be like, oh, yeah, there's this big,
Speaker 3: giant hair covered ape thing that just kind of looked
Speaker 3: at me and turned and walked off. Not I mean,
Speaker 3: that's scary man, that's really scary.
Speaker 2: Where I honestly took it.
Speaker 1: And the last thing that I really kind of summed
Speaker 1: or I don't know how you want to say it, Like,
Speaker 1: my conclusion to this was was that it was such
Speaker 1: a terrifying experience that I think a lot of what
Speaker 1: he thought when he saw it was made up. I
Speaker 1: think I think he kind of did that himself. I
Speaker 1: just my personal opinion. I don't know if you've ever
Speaker 1: had experience like that. I can face to face with
Speaker 1: a mountain lion one time, and I swear to you
Speaker 1: that thing was looking into my soul like that was
Speaker 1: a scary experience, you know, like and it had this
Speaker 1: just look in his eyes like you know, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: an alpha, alpha predator kind of thing. And and I
Speaker 1: so I thought, like, you know, how much was that
Speaker 1: honestly true or how much was it him laying in
Speaker 1: bed at night thinking and mulling this over and.
Speaker 2: Coming to that conclusion.
Speaker 1: So, you know, the only thing that that just really
Speaker 1: honestly freaked me out to a new level was the
Speaker 1: temperature change that was that was something that he even
Speaker 1: thought about leaving out of the story when I was
Speaker 1: writing it, where I was like, man, shall I even
Speaker 1: put this? Like, you know, I want to be as
Speaker 1: factual as possible to the story, and you know that
Speaker 1: that part was just couldn't definitely make people think, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is definitely made up because of how supernatural that is.
Speaker 1: But I want it to be as authentic to the
Speaker 1: story as poss But I'm honestly like, you know, does
Speaker 1: the haters really matter in this at this point?
Speaker 3: Is no? Actually so they don't. Yeah, I mean, I'm
Speaker 3: glad you made that decision. I agree one thousand percent,
Speaker 3: just putting in every detail how you experienced it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3: Maybe the temperature change was related, Maybe it wasn't. We
Speaker 3: don't really know.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think Florida is known for its
Speaker 3: sudden temporary cold fronts, though, especially in an area like
Speaker 3: you're describing like that that would be pretty shielded from
Speaker 3: the elements, I would assume.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And one of the things, obviously this is very like
Speaker 1: very humid in this area, and so to see your breath,
Speaker 1: it has to be pretty decently cold. And it didn't
Speaker 1: feel like it was cold enough for us to see
Speaker 1: our breath, but we can see our breath, and that
Speaker 1: was freaky. So that that was the That was where
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, this is definitely supernatural versus something natural.
Speaker 1: Was that one part because I think you got to
Speaker 1: be you got to be at least thirty degrees or
Speaker 1: under in Florida to see your breast and it. And
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I believe that I've been
Speaker 1: here twenty six years and that's typically when you can
Speaker 1: is when it gets that that cold. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know, And now I did. I did some research
Speaker 1: and that area is a hot bed for bigfoot sightings.
Speaker 1: So there's definitely something in that area.
Speaker 3: I mean, it makes sense it would be a hot bed.
Speaker 3: Having an experience like that, I mean tearing a cooler
Speaker 3: in a half man, that's crazy. That the amount of
Speaker 3: strength whenever you first walked out there and it screamed
Speaker 3: at you from the bushes, was this like next to
Speaker 3: you or in front of you? Did you see any
Speaker 3: silhouette or anything?
Speaker 2: No, So it was to the right of me.
Speaker 1: And it's again, it is pitch black out there, like
Speaker 1: pitch black. The only the only reason I knew where
Speaker 1: the cooler was because there was still a little embers
Speaker 1: in the fire pit. But it's pitch black, there is
Speaker 1: no light, and where we are not near towns cities.
Speaker 1: I mean, it is out in the woods. So when
Speaker 1: it screamed, I did not. I mean, it's just personally me.
Speaker 1: I didn't dare look up. I didn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to look up.
Speaker 1: I just I just kept my head down, looked straight
Speaker 1: out of the sand, and bolted for their tent. But
Speaker 1: it was it was standing to the right of me,
Speaker 1: and so the fire pit was to the left of me,
Speaker 1: cooler in front, and about seven feet away, six seven
Speaker 1: feet away something like that. There was just kind of
Speaker 1: tall grass and stuff right there, and he was standing
Speaker 1: in the grass and screamed down at me and pretty
Speaker 1: I mean I said it in the story. It was
Speaker 1: either sitting in a tree or this thing was nine
Speaker 1: feet tall.
Speaker 2: And uh. And so.
Speaker 1: Then and then when I got into the tent, of course,
Speaker 1: the footsteps, I mean, you can tell that it was
Speaker 1: exactly where it was, standing in those bushes. You hear
Speaker 1: the grass and the bushes moving and crackling, and him
Speaker 1: walking over to us from where he was standing. So
Speaker 1: I mean, he could have he could have definitely grabbed me.
Speaker 2: I don't think he wanted to.
Speaker 3: Do though, I mean something with that kind of power,
Speaker 3: I don't think the tent was doing any good. It
Speaker 3: definitely sounds like a situation where, for whatever reason, it
Speaker 3: just didn't want you there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it was being nice to us.
Speaker 3: Which seems kind of strange really considering where you were.
Speaker 3: I mean, a pretty active spot for people to go
Speaker 3: canoeing and stuff, and like you said, there was a
Speaker 3: previous campfire and everything right there at that beach, So
Speaker 3: it's not that there's no human traffic there.
Speaker 1: There was, Yeah, unless we were like the second group
Speaker 1: to do that, and he was sick of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, you guys left a mess here last time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you left a mess. Yeah, and I'm mad about
Speaker 2: it and I'm gonna take it out on you guys.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I we the whole first day, we didn't
Speaker 1: see a single person out there, and it was it
Speaker 1: was on a Saturday, and we didn't we didn't see
Speaker 1: a single person. So, I mean we went way up there,
Speaker 1: and I definitely would say there's probably people floating that,
Speaker 1: but but not as you know, the normal amount, not
Speaker 1: a lot of people.
Speaker 2: That's a that's a pretty popular river.
Speaker 3: Did you notice any out of ordinary wildlife behavior or anything.
Speaker 3: I know, that's kind of a hard thing to remember
Speaker 3: that long ago. But did anything stand out where like
Speaker 3: the birds singing and all that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: So one one thing that actually stood out to me
Speaker 1: was there was no wildlife, like no wildlife and we
Speaker 1: didn't see a movie. Saw maybe a bird or two
Speaker 1: here and there, but there was Typically in that area,
Speaker 1: you have a good amount of snakes, and that's you
Speaker 1: see that a lot. I do believe that they have
Speaker 1: beavers and otters, and you know on land obviously, foxes, coyotes,
Speaker 1: bore tons and tons and tons of squirrels.
Speaker 2: Typically you see a.
Speaker 1: Decent amount of wildlife out in those areas, especially when
Speaker 1: they're when there's like not a lot of humans out there,
Speaker 1: and there was none just a bird here and there,
Speaker 1: and uh. But I didn't really pay a lot of
Speaker 1: attention to that when I was floating.
Speaker 2: But when I was really going over everything, I asked.
Speaker 1: My buddy and I was like, did you see any
Speaker 1: wildlife when you're floating down the river And he's like, honestly,
Speaker 1: I didn't see any at all. I'm like, dude, I
Speaker 1: wonder if the even the wildlife knew.
Speaker 2: And we also have deer.
Speaker 1: I mean, we have buck and dough and all that
Speaker 1: stuff out there, but there was just nothing.
Speaker 3: How deep was the water in like the width of
Speaker 3: the river where your camp was.
Speaker 1: Were We were in an area where the deepest point
Speaker 1: is about eight feet And then how big is that river?
Speaker 1: I mean, trying to think of yardage or footage, I
Speaker 1: would say at that that point, it was probably fifty
Speaker 1: ish feet wide or something.
Speaker 2: What.
Speaker 1: It's not a big it's more of a snake river.
Speaker 1: It's not a not a big, crazy wide river. In
Speaker 1: some points it really narrows down, but I think the
Speaker 1: largest areas are probably one hundred and two hundred feet wide,
Speaker 1: not not not very big.
Speaker 3: You mentioned hearing it cross the river, I mean, not swimming.
Speaker 3: I assume it was walking across the river.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so that was a big part of it.
Speaker 1: So when I look down in the water when we
Speaker 1: were in the canoe, eight feet down or footprints, and
Speaker 1: we both saw that, and he's like, dude, the how
Speaker 1: big or how heavy you would have to be to
Speaker 1: walk across this river and to like make footprints in
Speaker 1: the sand?
Speaker 2: I mean just and then they're still there. I mean,
Speaker 2: this is moving water. Obviously, it's not really fast.
Speaker 1: It's a good floating river, like a like a current,
Speaker 1: like a lazy river. But man to leave a footprint
Speaker 1: in the sand and it's still be there the next morning,
Speaker 1: that's that's some heavy, some heavy stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Florida has those crystal clear rivers too. That that
Speaker 3: would have had to have been a crazy experience, man,
Speaker 3: if you had to guess, I mean, I assumed you
Speaker 3: didn't measure any of the footprints that you saw, but like,
Speaker 3: how big were they?
Speaker 1: So I would say at least it would be over
Speaker 1: a twenty shoe size. Jeez, I mean at least. I
Speaker 1: mean way, we're pretty tall people in my family. I'm
Speaker 1: and my brother six six, and my dad's sixty six
Speaker 1: and I'm six' one. My brother has like, you know,
Speaker 1: thirteen sized shoe, It's like thirteen and a half or something.
Speaker 1: And you know, I've seen I've been around a lot
Speaker 1: of big shoes, and this this thing.
Speaker 2: These were huge.
Speaker 1: I mean obviously the foot I don't think would even
Speaker 1: be able to fit in a shoe because of how
Speaker 1: white it was too. So this thing was big. I
Speaker 1: mean you can tell like just pure muscle. It's just
Speaker 1: a huge freaking foot and it's just big, one big,
Speaker 1: big foot.
Speaker 2: I would I remember putting my foot into.
Speaker 1: It, and I put my my toes where his toes were,
Speaker 1: and then my foot in it. My heel was still
Speaker 1: on the front part of his foot. So imagine kind
Speaker 1: of how big that is. So it might have been
Speaker 1: over nine feet tall. I mean, this thing had to
Speaker 1: been huge.
Speaker 3: The tree wall structure that you saw whenever you first
Speaker 3: you talked about the other trees being stacked up. Yeah,
Speaker 3: were they just like leaning against the trees or were
Speaker 3: they like woven through them?
Speaker 2: So they were.
Speaker 1: They were stacked three deep, so that the trees, these
Speaker 1: four trees were pretty you gotta like a you know,
Speaker 1: three tree distance between each other. And so he stacked
Speaker 1: three trees down on the ground and then just started
Speaker 1: stacking them on top of each other. And so the
Speaker 1: trees kind of widened at the top. And these trees
Speaker 1: were stacked from three all the way up to you know,
Speaker 1: like stacked six or seven wide, but it went about
Speaker 1: seven feet high like that. It was it was over
Speaker 1: my head for sure, But it wasn't woven through. They
Speaker 1: were just stacked on top of each other in straight line.
Speaker 3: And then the trees on the ends were the ones
Speaker 3: that were twisted and broken over.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and both sides of those trees that were stacked,
Speaker 1: they were twisted off.
Speaker 2: I mean, just crazy crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one of the things.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: And I know people, you know, skeptic that think this
Speaker 3: is all crazy stuff, which I understand, I've been there,
Speaker 3: but uh yeah, you know they're like, oh, well, you know,
Speaker 3: wind can do that, snow can do that. Yeah, I know, man,
Speaker 3: But whenever you're standing there looking at something that is
Speaker 3: very clearly something grabbed it with a hand and twisted it,
Speaker 3: and you're just like, yeah, what I mean, I can't
Speaker 3: do that with a really small treat.
Speaker 1: Maunt of force you would have to do to do that,
Speaker 1: I mean, to have I mean that wrisk strength.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean your hand.
Speaker 1: I just yeah, yeah, you do the math, and it's
Speaker 1: just it's just crazy. But I you know, one thing
Speaker 1: I absolutely love is the fact that people do have
Speaker 1: the right to be skeptic. Skeptic, you do have the
Speaker 1: right to question, and you're you would be silly not
Speaker 1: to question, you know.
Speaker 2: But I do believe that we we.
Speaker 1: Barely know thirty percent of what's going on on this planet,
Speaker 1: and what we truly live in. There's so much more
Speaker 1: mystery out there, but it's it's definitely intriguing.
Speaker 3: So after this happened, you get back home, did you
Speaker 3: tell your family?
Speaker 2: No, we waited a while. We all kind of had
Speaker 2: a powwow.
Speaker 1: We're like, all right, like, you know, obviously we're all
Speaker 1: associated in this story, in this experience.
Speaker 2: You know, how do we want to do this?
Speaker 1: And we all kind of agreed just to wait a
Speaker 1: little bit, try to really hone down what's happened, because
Speaker 1: in the moment your brain, you'll you'll see so many things.
Speaker 1: There's i mean, just really getting that that factual story down.
Speaker 1: And so we all sat down and wrote out those
Speaker 1: stories and then came together and like looked at each
Speaker 1: one of our stories and solidified literally really what happened.
Speaker 1: And and then at that point we're like, all right,
Speaker 1: you know, use your discretion. I want to be anonymous.
Speaker 1: I mean, over the years, they've they wanted to stay
Speaker 1: anonymous because I asked before, like, you know, what would
Speaker 1: you guys think about sharing our story on this and
Speaker 1: they still obviously all have families and they don't want
Speaker 1: to be written as crazy. But I'm like, I'm looking
Speaker 1: at the state of the world today and how chaotic
Speaker 1: it is, and I'm like, this is a perfect time
Speaker 1: this story.
Speaker 2: Tell everybody my Bigfoot story.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this one right out there and nobody will even.
Speaker 2: Notice, don't even notice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm glad that you decided to come forward
Speaker 3: and share it. It's very interesting and actually have quite
Speaker 3: a bit of information that adds in a few more
Speaker 3: pieces to the puzzle, I think.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were able to find a significant amount of
Speaker 1: evidence in other stories relating correlating to ours, and that's
Speaker 1: that's what really gave us, you know, confidently gave us
Speaker 1: the ability to say this was a Bigfoot experience. But
Speaker 1: a lot of the experiences that we had, besides the
Speaker 1: temperature change, was a lot in that Washington State area
Speaker 1: and when there was tons of sightings out there, so
Speaker 1: we were able to.
Speaker 2: Watch some videos on that.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, definitely go down in history as the
Speaker 1: strangest experience of my life.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Have you ever experienced anything paranormal or UFOs or anything
Speaker 3: like that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, actually I did with my mom one
Speaker 1: time in Oregon and the only only other experience we
Speaker 1: had with these things.
Speaker 2: But I was the paper boy.
Speaker 1: And I think had I was I don't know eleven
Speaker 1: ten or eleven or something like that, but it was.
Speaker 2: On early morning.
Speaker 1: The sun was coming up, and we stopped and there
Speaker 1: was you know, it was in Sisters organ It was
Speaker 1: these Three Sisters mountains and when the sun's rising, man,
Speaker 1: it's one of the most breathtaking things you've ever seen
Speaker 1: in your life. And so we stopped and we were
Speaker 1: watching the sunset. We're like, man, that's gorgeous and uh.
Speaker 1: And we look over and like almost directly behind us
Speaker 1: were these clouds and they were red and I'm like, yeah, look,
Speaker 1: it's beautiful.
Speaker 2: It's like shining on those clouds.
Speaker 1: And then we realized that that was like orangish, you know,
Speaker 1: normal like sunrise color, and this was like a blood
Speaker 1: red in this cloud. We were like, what the heck
Speaker 1: and uh, and then it started pulsating and it like
Speaker 1: moved to another cloud and that's when we jumped in
Speaker 1: our car and drove off.
Speaker 2: We're like, no, no, we're not. It was like. The
Speaker 2: funny thing was it was over cows.
Speaker 1: It was like a cow pastor so but did some
Speaker 1: research and we actually found in a.
Speaker 2: Book someone else.
Speaker 1: It was like some UFO book and someone was talking
Speaker 1: about a red light and it transferred from one cloud
Speaker 1: to the next. But that's the only other experience I've
Speaker 1: had with with like an alien like thing. And we
Speaker 1: had some really creepy things happened in a house that
Speaker 1: we rented in Montana, but nothing too crazy.
Speaker 2: It's just kind of like footprints or a.
Speaker 1: Footsteps in this house was the weirdest thing, old eighteen
Speaker 1: hundreds house and we every once in a while you
Speaker 1: just hear something run across the living room floor and
Speaker 1: there was like no one in there, and you're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's creepy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I've been in a situation like that before.
Speaker 3: Definitely creepy, definitely creepy.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: But that house, the people that owned it went senile
Speaker 1: and died in the house, and so that when they
Speaker 1: cleaned the house up and everything, the city or the
Speaker 1: daughter of the couple that went crazy and died in
Speaker 1: the house rented the house to us, and that's when
Speaker 1: just weird, strange things.
Speaker 2: That house just was uncomfortable, not cool.
Speaker 3: So with the temperature change, and like you said, you know,
Speaker 3: there's strange things that you experience, especially things of an
Speaker 3: evil nature. Sometimes what we perceive is evil from a
Speaker 3: Christian standpoint. What are your thoughts about this situation. Do
Speaker 3: you think Bigfoot is something natural? Do you think it's
Speaker 3: something demonic? Do you have any thoughts on that.
Speaker 1: I definitely think it's something demonic if it I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously you know this is all hearsay kind of theory,
Speaker 1: my theory not factual.
Speaker 2: But it's like the feeling I had.
Speaker 1: When it was doing what it was doing, and when
Speaker 1: it was in the area, it was pure fear and
Speaker 1: not like not like my fear, but there was just
Speaker 1: like a presence of fear. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: kind of get what I'm saying, but it was like
Speaker 1: just this just this feeling like you're like, this is
Speaker 1: not a okay.
Speaker 2: This is not a godly thing.
Speaker 1: This is not something just like a normal animal, like uh,
Speaker 1: There's there's a level of fear and evil to it.
Speaker 1: And I do believe personally that Bigfoot is an interdimensional being.
Speaker 2: If that was like some.
Speaker 1: Type of creature that that fell when the angels fell
Speaker 1: in heaven and all these things, I have no idea,
Speaker 1: but but I do believe it is an interdimensional being.
Speaker 1: And that's why you know, we don't have full skeletons
Speaker 1: of these things and stuff like that, like that's it's
Speaker 1: rare to find any type or remains of these. But uh,
Speaker 1: and and then it does have the ability to, I
Speaker 1: guess manufacture supernatural strength and different features and stuff like that. Personally,
Speaker 1: that's what I believe, and that's why it had such
Speaker 1: strength the way it did.
Speaker 2: I mean, the amount of muscle you need to do
Speaker 2: something like that.
Speaker 1: And personally, I just I just think there was muscle
Speaker 1: and some type of supernatural involvement in it.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what I tell people. You know, it's
Speaker 3: easy to sit here and hear a story. And like
Speaker 3: you said, skepticism is a good thing, and asking questions
Speaker 3: is a good thing. But the person that knows best
Speaker 3: is the person that experienced it. And from my perception
Speaker 3: of the story, while we don't know the reason for
Speaker 3: the temperature change, it sounds like you feel that it
Speaker 3: was definitely connected to the event. And typically temperature changes
Speaker 3: like that are connected to paranormal or supernatural events. I mean,
Speaker 3: that's a very common thing for paranormal investigators to experience,
Speaker 3: and that's a very common aspect of demonic activity. And that's,
Speaker 3: you know, one of the reasons I really wanted to
Speaker 3: get you on and hear this story first, and because
Speaker 3: that is an aspect that I had never heard before
Speaker 3: in relation to Bigfoot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely interesting, Isaiah.
Speaker 3: I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Man.

Speaker 3: own encounter with Bigfoot or something else you can't explain,
