20
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:05.840
<v Speaker 1>to you and feel free to take us back to

21
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.400
<v Speaker 1>when you first started to experience things out there.

22
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, this was back in twenty eighteen. I started hunting.

23
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.760
<v Speaker 2>It was some family property over in Illinois along the

24
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Iroquois River, not too far west of the Indiana Illinois line,

25
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 2>and I hadn't hunted there. I'd been to this property before,

26
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 2>but I had never hunted there. So my wife says, well,

27
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 2>why don't you go hunt this property because you've always

28
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:39.760
<v Speaker 2>wanted to. So I said, okay, I'll go do that.

29
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.879
<v Speaker 2>So I went there. I set up a stand, set

30
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.959
<v Speaker 2>up a trail cam. This is a river bottom, so

31
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:55.439
<v Speaker 2>usually there's quite a bit of activity and along the river.

32
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>About a month later I went for the opening weekend.

33
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:09.120
<v Speaker 2>It was in October for bow for deer went down there.

34
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>I went on a Saturday afternoon. The first thing I

35
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 2>did was grab my trail can, went back and looked

36
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 2>at it. I had seventy pictures on it, but there were

37
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:26.639
<v Speaker 2>no pictures on it, so I thought that was rather odd.

38
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.199
<v Speaker 2>And the camera had been turned to the opposite side

39
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:38.120
<v Speaker 2>of the tree. And found that real strange. So got

40
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 2>ready started to go hunting. Went to the stand and

41
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:48.520
<v Speaker 2>I had a real uneasy feeling. It was actually silent.

42
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 2>There was no birds, there was no squirrels. There was

43
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 2>no bugs or anything going on. I thought, boy, this

44
00:02:54.280 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 2>is really strange. Got to my stand and in front

45
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 2>of my stand there was about a ten inch round

46
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:14.759
<v Speaker 2>maple tree that was bent over and cracked. I thought

47
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>it was something from the wind. You got to realize

48
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.759
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea what's going on at this point.

49
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.560
<v Speaker 2>But then I'm thinking, get up in the stand. I'm like, boy,

50
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.039
<v Speaker 2>that is really strange looking at this. It's probably two

51
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.280
<v Speaker 2>foot off the ground, and the tree looked like it

52
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.800
<v Speaker 2>was cracked, and there really hadn't been any storms or

53
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>anything that came through there. So I hunted that evening

54
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.719
<v Speaker 2>and I just had the strangest feeling. Now I've hunted

55
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.199
<v Speaker 2>all my life and I have never felt like this.

56
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm hunting. I mean, I heard nothing there was, Like

57
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>I said, no birds, no squirrels, no bugs, didn't see

58
00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 2>anything that evening, kind of shaking my head, going back, thinking, well,

59
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 2>just a bad night. So there's some cabins on there

60
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>that I can stay in, So go in, go to sleep.

61
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>That night, at three forty five in the morning, there

62
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:24.759
<v Speaker 2>were a bunch of coyotes that had surrounded this cabin.

63
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Is the best way I can put it, one right,

64
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 2>on the front porch and they were screaming like I've

65
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.959
<v Speaker 2>never heard coyotes before. I jumped up out of bed

66
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out what is going on here, and

67
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.800
<v Speaker 2>I thought, this is stranger. There's one on the front,

68
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.920
<v Speaker 2>there's one on the side, and there's one off the

69
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:50.959
<v Speaker 2>back and they're all yapping. So I was startled. They

70
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.240
<v Speaker 2>jumped up, went to the door, looked out. It stopped.

71
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.800
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see anything. I'm like, so now I'm up,

72
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:09.160
<v Speaker 2>and they started again, which I pinted all my life.

73
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I funded coyotes. Usually that doesn't happen. So now they've

74
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 2>moved off a little bit, but they're still out there,

75
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:24.439
<v Speaker 2>and then they stopped. I waited a little bit. I thought, well,

76
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm probably not going to see any deer today, but

77
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>these coyotes going crazy. Go out to the stand, just

78
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.959
<v Speaker 2>a real eerie feeling. Again, got up in the stand,

79
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 2>silence once again. There were no birds, no squirrels, a

80
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:55.240
<v Speaker 2>running around do nothing. Hunted for a few hours and

81
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.600
<v Speaker 2>I did see one dear about one hundred yards away

82
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.879
<v Speaker 2>running for its life. I never saw what was chasing it,

83
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.879
<v Speaker 2>but that was it. So I called it a day

84
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.759
<v Speaker 2>left called the landowner and said, hey, you have a

85
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.040
<v Speaker 2>serious coyote problem here. I've never heard anything like this

86
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 2>in my life. He's like, well, I've never heard of

87
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:22.439
<v Speaker 2>coyote there at all. I'm like, well, okay, well, I'm

88
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 2>just telling you there's there's something going on here. So

89
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:31.800
<v Speaker 2>I left. I'm still not realizing what was going on,

90
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:36.079
<v Speaker 2>but just shaking my head like something's not right there.

91
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Went home, told my wife that. I said, well, I'll

92
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:46.600
<v Speaker 2>go back again next the next week. Come back the

93
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 2>next week, same scenario that whether it's been nice all week.

94
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:55.480
<v Speaker 2>This time I come back, I pull up. Now there

95
00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 2>is a huge tree broken backwards, leaning up against the cabin,

96
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:14.720
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, you know what's going on here? So

97
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I called the landowner and I said, hey, you've got

98
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.279
<v Speaker 2>a tree down here. He's like, what do you mean

99
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:21.240
<v Speaker 2>there's a tree down? You haven't had any bad weather.

100
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.160
<v Speaker 2>I said, I'm telling you, there's a tree down and

101
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.759
<v Speaker 2>it's leaning up against the cabin. It's perfect, the top

102
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:34.040
<v Speaker 2>is just touching the side of the cabin. So once

103
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:40.439
<v Speaker 2>again I go out hunting. Same scenario, silence, and now

104
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:46.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting a little edgy. Didn't have any issues that night.

105
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:53.639
<v Speaker 2>I got up the next morning, same thing. Nothing around there.

106
00:07:53.720 --> 00:08:00.759
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm really stunned. I don't know what to think

107
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:07.639
<v Speaker 2>about what's going on here. So I left still not

108
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:16.160
<v Speaker 2>really thinking anything about what else would happen. So went home,

109
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.160
<v Speaker 2>came back again the next weekend. Now, this weekend I

110
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.439
<v Speaker 2>did see a few deer. There was birds, there were squirrels,

111
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:27.680
<v Speaker 2>there was bugs. Everything, It was noisy, saw a couple deer.

112
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:32.279
<v Speaker 2>Didn't really have any problems, so I thought, Okay, well,

113
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.120
<v Speaker 2>starting to come around here. Now we're getting into the

114
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:42.759
<v Speaker 2>end of October. Came back one more weekend and the

115
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.000
<v Speaker 2>feeling was there again. It was just uneasy and it

116
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:54.919
<v Speaker 2>was silent Saturday afternoon, saw nothing, heard nothing. I had

117
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:56.960
<v Speaker 2>moved to it. He had another cabin there, so I'd

118
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:03.279
<v Speaker 2>moved to a different cabin. Back. Well, it gets kind

119
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:06.600
<v Speaker 2>of it gets dark down in the river bottom, So

120
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:08.519
<v Speaker 2>when i came out, it was still a little bit light,

121
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:15.159
<v Speaker 2>and I'm walking back to the cabin. Got about fifteen

122
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:19.000
<v Speaker 2>yards from the door. I heard a huge stick crack

123
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:28.679
<v Speaker 2>and a big thud, but nothing ran away. So I'm

124
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:32.519
<v Speaker 2>just standing there kind of looking into this thicket. Whatever's there.

125
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:34.279
<v Speaker 2>I know it's still there looking at me and it's

126
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:39.799
<v Speaker 2>only maybe fifteen yards away. I thought, well, it's got

127
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:45.480
<v Speaker 2>to be a deer, but it didn't run away. Nothing. Yeah,

128
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:50.639
<v Speaker 2>maybe a minute goes by, still nothing. I'm looking in

129
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:55.240
<v Speaker 2>the thicket, and then across this meadow and another thicket

130
00:09:55.279 --> 00:10:01.000
<v Speaker 2>along the river, I hear a scream. It sounded like

131
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:08.120
<v Speaker 2>a young woman screaming. So now I don't know what

132
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:13.639
<v Speaker 2>to do. So whatever's still in that ticket is still there.

133
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:19.919
<v Speaker 2>I heard that scream, so I decide, well, I'm going

134
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.039
<v Speaker 2>to walk out in this meadow because now I'm thinking

135
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.279
<v Speaker 2>somebody might be hurt. But I'm also thinking, why is

136
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.279
<v Speaker 2>there some woman in this thicket down along this river?

137
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.919
<v Speaker 2>And now it's getting dark. So I walk out into

138
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:46.360
<v Speaker 2>this meadow and look around. I don't see anything. So

139
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I start walking down towards the river, and whoever or

140
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:59.240
<v Speaker 2>whatever it was started talking, and to this day I

141
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:04.200
<v Speaker 2>can't get this out of my head. The best way

142
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:10.000
<v Speaker 2>to describe this was it sounded like like a language

143
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:14.159
<v Speaker 2>I had never heard, almost like a I have to say,

144
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 2>like a Samurai, Japanese, Chinese thing. It would start out

145
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:29.440
<v Speaker 2>low and get real high. And now I don't know

146
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:33.639
<v Speaker 2>what to do because whatever is behind me is still there,

147
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.039
<v Speaker 2>and now I've got something. So I'm kind of in

148
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:44.200
<v Speaker 2>a pinch point here, so I stopped walking. I'm like, yeah,

149
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:48.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I better not go down there because

150
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.159
<v Speaker 2>and this is still the talking is still going on,

151
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:53.360
<v Speaker 2>if you want to call it talk, and I don't

152
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:58.840
<v Speaker 2>know what it was, so I decide I better go back.

153
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:04.399
<v Speaker 2>I go back to the cabin. I'm kind of sitting

154
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:12.840
<v Speaker 2>there trying to figure out what just happened, and all

155
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:17.039
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, Uh, there's a wall right in front

156
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:24.000
<v Speaker 2>of me. There's two big knocks on the wall. So

157
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 2>now I'm flipping out. I'm a red I'm a fairly

158
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:33.080
<v Speaker 2>large guy. I'm six 't six, two hundred and seventy pounds.

159
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:36.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm starting to get mad now because I'm thinking somebody's

160
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:41.799
<v Speaker 2>messing with me. So I had I did have a pistol,

161
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.799
<v Speaker 2>So I grabbed a pistol and I start walking to

162
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:49.279
<v Speaker 2>the door and something I don't know what it was

163
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:54.120
<v Speaker 2>that don't open the door. In my mind me telling them,

164
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.919
<v Speaker 2>you know, don't go out there, because now it's just

165
00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:02.840
<v Speaker 2>pitch black out there. So now I'm a little scared.

166
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:08.200
<v Speaker 2>And you don't get good phone reception out there, so

167
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:12.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to rationalize in my head, well, now somebody's

168
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:19.840
<v Speaker 2>messing with me here, just relax and you know, don't

169
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:24.919
<v Speaker 2>do anything. Turn off all the lights. I'm sitting there

170
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.679
<v Speaker 2>somewhere in there. I fall asleep. At about three o'clock

171
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:36.200
<v Speaker 2>in the morning, I start hearing something hitting the roof

172
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:45.279
<v Speaker 2>of the cabin. It sounded like rocks and it was

173
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:52.879
<v Speaker 2>just there was like five of them that hit, and

174
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:58.320
<v Speaker 2>they were in a rhythm and then they just stopped.

175
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:04.320
<v Speaker 2>So now I'm kind of I'm actually scared. I'm thinking,

176
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:10.240
<v Speaker 2>if somebody's here, they've been here all night long, out

177
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:15.960
<v Speaker 2>here in the pitch black. No, what are they going

178
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:23.799
<v Speaker 2>to do to me here? So if I sit there

179
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:27.879
<v Speaker 2>in the dark, I wait, tell myself, I'm waiting until

180
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:33.120
<v Speaker 2>it's going to get light, and then I'm getting out

181
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:36.360
<v Speaker 2>of here. I fully expect to go to my jeep,

182
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:39.440
<v Speaker 2>which was parked I don't know, about hundred yards away,

183
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:42.679
<v Speaker 2>and my tires were going to be flat or something.

184
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:51.879
<v Speaker 2>The sun comes up and I kind of hurried up,

185
00:14:52.360 --> 00:15:00.879
<v Speaker 2>gathering my stuff, went out. There was nothing, There was

186
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:09.759
<v Speaker 2>nothing wrong. All my tires were intact. I'm trying to

187
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.559
<v Speaker 2>figure out what's going on here. So I went back.

188
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:16.519
<v Speaker 2>I had to grab the rest of my stuff. I decide,

189
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go look in this sticket where I

190
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:23.919
<v Speaker 2>first heard the stick crack, and it was about twenty

191
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:30.600
<v Speaker 2>yards away. So I go in there and there is

192
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:42.320
<v Speaker 2>a area probably ten foot round, completely flattened. And that's not

193
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:45.320
<v Speaker 2>like where a deer had been laying or anything like that.

194
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Big So a society who will be right back after

195
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:50.000
<v Speaker 1>these messages.

196
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like crop circle flattened, and I have no idea.

197
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, what could have done this? So I got

198
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.720
<v Speaker 2>my stuff when I got out of there, and I

199
00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:24.519
<v Speaker 2>never went back, and I didn't tell anybody because I

200
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:27.879
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to get ridiculed. But I knew something was

201
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:40.000
<v Speaker 2>not right. So I actually didn't tell anybody for probably

202
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:48.279
<v Speaker 2>a year. Decided I kind of at this point kind

203
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.879
<v Speaker 2>of had a feeling what was going on, because I

204
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:59.039
<v Speaker 2>had done some research and some things popped up about sasquatch,

205
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.120
<v Speaker 2>and I was kind of beside myself. I had been

206
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:06.799
<v Speaker 2>listening to a few things and other people had the

207
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:09.640
<v Speaker 2>exact same thing happened to them that happened to me,

208
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:17.119
<v Speaker 2>and I just I didn't want to tell anybody, just

209
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:21.440
<v Speaker 2>because I thought nobody's going to believe me anyway what

210
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:28.480
<v Speaker 2>went on here. So I decided I did go back

211
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:30.759
<v Speaker 2>a few months, and then I did put out another

212
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.160
<v Speaker 2>trail camera, and I'm like, I got to know for myself,

213
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:37.960
<v Speaker 2>and I put that one out, and that one was fine.

214
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.680
<v Speaker 2>I had deer all over the place on it, all

215
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:52.039
<v Speaker 2>kinds of wildlife. But so whatever was there didn't go

216
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.119
<v Speaker 2>back there or wasn't there when I was there in

217
00:17:55.160 --> 00:18:07.400
<v Speaker 2>this summer again, so I decide, well, there was another

218
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:13.000
<v Speaker 2>thing that happened, and I hadn't, Like I said, I

219
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:18.640
<v Speaker 2>hadn't told anybody this yet. So at my house now

220
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:23.240
<v Speaker 2>it's an hour and ten minutes away. My daughter had

221
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.240
<v Speaker 2>told me about a couple of months after this happened.

222
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:30.839
<v Speaker 2>She said the next day she's like, Dad, there was

223
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:40.839
<v Speaker 2>a baby crying outside my window last night. And I'm like, well,

224
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.400
<v Speaker 2>it's probably a rabbit or something going on, you know.

225
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:48.440
<v Speaker 2>She goes, no, it was a baby crying outside my window.

226
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:50.599
<v Speaker 2>And now we do have a big woods behind her house.

227
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:57.079
<v Speaker 2>So I in my mind here, knowing all this other stuff,

228
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, nah, this can't be. About two weeks later,

229
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:10.920
<v Speaker 2>I have this. I'm gonna call it a dream. I

230
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.640
<v Speaker 2>popped up out of bed in a cold sweat, and

231
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I had all I'm this, all I can think of

232
00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 2>is I had a something behind my house talking to

233
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:32.440
<v Speaker 2>me in that language. Again, now I'm thinking I'm really crazy,

234
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:36.240
<v Speaker 2>except the fact that I have a dog that is

235
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:42.799
<v Speaker 2>standing at the doorway growling like I've never heard of

236
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:49.960
<v Speaker 2>growl before. It's something exactly where I pictured this happening

237
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:56.839
<v Speaker 2>in the backyard. So now I'm kind of like, did

238
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:02.559
<v Speaker 2>this thing follow me home? I don't know, I don't know.

239
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:10.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what happened there. So then another strange occurrence,

240
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:15.599
<v Speaker 2>a couple probably it was probably two months later, I

241
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:21.519
<v Speaker 2>started hearing owls in the backyard every time I would

242
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:23.680
<v Speaker 2>go out the back door, and how I would hoot

243
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:31.000
<v Speaker 2>for seven days straight. Found this to be just bizarre.

244
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.960
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know. The one thing I can say

245
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:42.400
<v Speaker 2>is I never saw what this was, but I had

246
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:49.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things happen two Really, I don't know

247
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:59.880
<v Speaker 2>what else it could be. So then I decide, now

248
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:01.880
<v Speaker 2>it's a couple of years later, this is back. So

249
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:06.039
<v Speaker 2>now we're into twenty twenty three. My wife, who's putting

250
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:10.759
<v Speaker 2>up with me listening to all this stuff that I'm

251
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:15.720
<v Speaker 2>telling her. She said, well, let's take the dogs and

252
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:20.680
<v Speaker 2>go back there and you can show me, you know,

253
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:24.079
<v Speaker 2>where all this happened. I'm like, all right, now, this

254
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:31.880
<v Speaker 2>was in September, late September, a beautiful day, got down there,

255
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:38.440
<v Speaker 2>opened the gate, still had the key, go back down

256
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 2>to by the river, and I had my two dogs

257
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:48.480
<v Speaker 2>with me and my daughter and my wife. As soon

258
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.279
<v Speaker 2>as I stepped out of the jeep, I knew something

259
00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:59.200
<v Speaker 2>wasn't right again, same feeling, just silence. My one dog

260
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:03.680
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't even get out the jeep. So I was a

261
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.279
<v Speaker 2>little on edge. I told my wife and like, yeah,

262
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm not feeling feeling it right now. He said, well,

263
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:13.799
<v Speaker 2>let's go kind of walk the dogs around a little bit.

264
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:20.920
<v Speaker 2>You can show me where all this happened. So we

265
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:29.880
<v Speaker 2>start walking the dogs and I'm uneasy. She's kind of

266
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:36.359
<v Speaker 2>looking at me like, yeah, okay, whatever. The dogs are silent,

267
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:42.960
<v Speaker 2>which is one's a beagle, and you know beagles, they're

268
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:50.799
<v Speaker 2>never silent. They're walking just not really doing much. Take

269
00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:54.880
<v Speaker 2>her show her where everything's at, and it's kind of funny.

270
00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:56.839
<v Speaker 2>She starts to whistle. She goes, I heard you should

271
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:01.559
<v Speaker 2>never whistle in the woods. I said, yeah, you probably shouldn't.

272
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:09.880
<v Speaker 2>So she's whistling and I'm like, you know, stop, So

273
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I take her where, show her where all this is.

274
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:18.119
<v Speaker 2>There was no flattened circle or anything at this time.

275
00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:22.839
<v Speaker 2>So my daughter decides she goes, well, I'm going to

276
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:25.240
<v Speaker 2>go back, and I said, okay, we're going to walk

277
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:29.519
<v Speaker 2>the dogs. And looking around a little bit more, well,

278
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:33.680
<v Speaker 2>I kind of got that uneasy feeling. I said, now

279
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:35.240
<v Speaker 2>we're going to go back with my daughter. My wife

280
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:39.440
<v Speaker 2>starts whistling again, which I'm kind of laughing. Now. I said,

281
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:47.000
<v Speaker 2>all right, I'll start whistling. So I started whistling and

282
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:52.799
<v Speaker 2>we turn this bend right around this road here, and

283
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:59.759
<v Speaker 2>at the same time, my wife and daughter say, there's

284
00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:04.720
<v Speaker 2>a beagle right there and there's some somebody with it.

285
00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:10.039
<v Speaker 2>Now I'm fifteen yards away from this, so I said,

286
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:12.039
<v Speaker 2>get the dog. And the dogs are silent. They're just

287
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:19.279
<v Speaker 2>sitting there looking. So I run that. They couldn't have

288
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:23.640
<v Speaker 2>taken me five seconds, ten seconds to get to where

289
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:29.519
<v Speaker 2>this is at. There's nothing there. So I'm looking at him.

290
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:33.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, you sure you saw something like yeah, and

291
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:37.200
<v Speaker 2>my daughter's like, yeah, I saw like black boots running.

292
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Now this is an open field. I would have seen

293
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:44.759
<v Speaker 2>something in that amount of time. So I said, well,

294
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:47.160
<v Speaker 2>get the dogs in the car, so we're getting out

295
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:53.160
<v Speaker 2>of here. I looked around nothing. So as we're driving

296
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:57.880
<v Speaker 2>driving out now there's no wind or anything. That day,

297
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:05.880
<v Speaker 2>there is a across the road blocking me from getting

298
00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:11.720
<v Speaker 2>out the gate. So I had to stop and I

299
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:15.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if it would have fallen, I would have

300
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:22.039
<v Speaker 2>heard something. So now my wife and daughter are scared.

301
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:29.720
<v Speaker 2>I get out. I moved the log. I'm looking around.

302
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:34.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't see anything. I get out of there, and

303
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:42.839
<v Speaker 2>I have never been back. Now. I did talk to

304
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:46.200
<v Speaker 2>the landowner about it. I finally got the courage to

305
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:51.039
<v Speaker 2>tell him and he said, well, I've never had anything

306
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:52.720
<v Speaker 2>like that happen, he said, but I was out here

307
00:25:52.759 --> 00:26:00.240
<v Speaker 2>one night building this cabin, and across the creek we

308
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:04.400
<v Speaker 2>see this light dancing through the trees. Like he goes.

309
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:07.440
<v Speaker 2>It looks like a lantern that's just going up and

310
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:13.960
<v Speaker 2>down through the trees. And he went over. As soon

311
00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:20.680
<v Speaker 2>as he got there, it just disappeared. So I don't

312
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:24.599
<v Speaker 2>know if it's something at this place, if it's paranormal,

313
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:30.559
<v Speaker 2>but there is something definitely going on there. Like I said,

314
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:35.200
<v Speaker 2>I have not been back there. Don't know that I

315
00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:38.839
<v Speaker 2>want to go back there again. Don't know if I

316
00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:45.200
<v Speaker 2>want to see what actually is there, but pretty sure

317
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:53.440
<v Speaker 2>it's still there. So that's my story. I don't know

318
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:59.839
<v Speaker 2>if anybody else has had any issues in that area,

319
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:07.079
<v Speaker 2>but this is along the Iroquois River in central Illinois.

320
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:15.480
<v Speaker 1>John, that's absolutely incredible. Thank you for sharing what you experienced.

321
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:20.400
<v Speaker 1>When you when you're saying central Illinois, you know myself,

322
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm from Iowa, so when I think central Illinois, I'm

323
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:28.000
<v Speaker 1>thinking like Springfield, Peoria. Is that what you mean by

324
00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:29.079
<v Speaker 1>central Illinois.

325
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:31.240
<v Speaker 2>No, it's more towards Watsika.

326
00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, gotcha, that's just h.

327
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I actually quit hunting for a couple of seasons there

328
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:51.440
<v Speaker 2>after that, and to this day, I can still hear

329
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:58.519
<v Speaker 2>that talking. That's the thing. Whatever that was H was

330
00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:02.000
<v Speaker 2>not anything that I I have ever heard or no,

331
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:06.720
<v Speaker 2>and I've never felt that way anywhere else I've wanted,

332
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:14.839
<v Speaker 2>and I've hunted for forty years now, and it still

333
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:16.880
<v Speaker 2>gives me goosebumps talking about it.

334
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:22.079
<v Speaker 1>Well, I can tell you're incredibly emotionally affected by by

335
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:27.119
<v Speaker 1>what happened, even today, and thank you for being able

336
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:35.160
<v Speaker 1>to talk through what you experienced. You you have You've

337
00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:40.000
<v Speaker 1>never heard anything like what you heard that day anywhere else? No?

338
00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:50.039
<v Speaker 2>Never, okay, never. Yeah, it was a you know, the scream.

339
00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:56.799
<v Speaker 2>At first I thought it was a woman. It was

340
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.519
<v Speaker 2>a high pitched scream, and it was down in this thicket,

341
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:08.200
<v Speaker 2>this real dark thicket, which you know kind of when

342
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:12.400
<v Speaker 2>you hear that, like what's going on there? But then

343
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:18.440
<v Speaker 2>the talking Actually, as I'm walking down to look, they

344
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:22.759
<v Speaker 2>started talking and then it was a It started out

345
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.319
<v Speaker 2>low and then it got real high and it was

346
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:33.400
<v Speaker 2>just gibberish and iman can hear it in my head

347
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:38.680
<v Speaker 2>right now? Have you ever heard stuff that happened at home? Yeah?

348
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:43.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't. I don't know. You know, there's

349
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:46.359
<v Speaker 2>times I thought, hey, I'm I'm going crazy here, but

350
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:47.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think.

351
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:50.559
<v Speaker 1>So big for a society will be right back after

352
00:29:50.599 --> 00:30:10.119
<v Speaker 1>these messages, hmm. I mean, just the fact that your

353
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:13.960
<v Speaker 1>dog was also affected by the same thing at the

354
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:17.640
<v Speaker 1>same time. Have you ever listened to what's called the

355
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Sierra Sounds at all? Do you ever look at that?

356
00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yes, similar on some of it, but not the

357
00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:37.079
<v Speaker 2>whoops or the It was more it was like it

358
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:42.920
<v Speaker 2>was it was a conversation that was going on, hm,

359
00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:50.599
<v Speaker 2>but it was the same between the two or possibly three.

360
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:57.519
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, I ran this scenario through my head

361
00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:03.960
<v Speaker 2>so many times. I think, now there's some fruit trees

362
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:12.039
<v Speaker 2>and things on this property. I think maybe they're coming

363
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:19.839
<v Speaker 2>in to feed there. That's all I can guess. The

364
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:22.960
<v Speaker 2>landowner did tell me, He goes, yeah, my peaches keep disappearing,

365
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:29.480
<v Speaker 2>and he doesn't know where they go at that time,

366
00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:34.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, in the fall. But I think I startled

367
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:38.359
<v Speaker 2>the one that was right by the door of the cabin,

368
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:43.079
<v Speaker 2>and somehow the other ones were trying to distract me.

369
00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:47.960
<v Speaker 2>But you know, all this stuff runs through your head

370
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:52.599
<v Speaker 2>and you never really I really, I'll never probably ever know.

371
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, that's that's the trick about it is, you know,

372
00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:01.319
<v Speaker 1>you just there's no way to know that the actual answers,

373
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and then your your mind just keeps working and working.

374
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:14.720
<v Speaker 1>And do you know is this location usually empty? There's

375
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:17.720
<v Speaker 1>not people out in this location, or is it pretty

376
00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:18.799
<v Speaker 1>busy in the fall.

377
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:25.079
<v Speaker 2>In the summer they use it more, but in the fall, no,

378
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:33.519
<v Speaker 2>it's it's empty, okay. And then that log across the

379
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:37.200
<v Speaker 2>road when we were going out that last time, that

380
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:39.799
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty much stealed it for me. I'm not I

381
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:41.440
<v Speaker 2>really have no desire to go back there.

382
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't blame you, And it kind of makes

383
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:49.000
<v Speaker 1>me one of the things I always think about, you know,

384
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:51.160
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to a situation when you have a

385
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:57.839
<v Speaker 1>hunter in a area where there's some of these bigfoot

386
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:02.039
<v Speaker 1>you have food sources and and you said peaches, but

387
00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:04.680
<v Speaker 1>then you also mentioned how there was the deer that

388
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:08.119
<v Speaker 1>was running for its life from something, and you almost

389
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:12.799
<v Speaker 1>have to wonder if the way that they are viewing

390
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:19.680
<v Speaker 1>you is something that's taking away there or potentially taking

391
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:22.960
<v Speaker 1>where their food source, and that's why they wanted you

392
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:25.000
<v Speaker 1>out of there, no matter what, you know.

393
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:31.400
<v Speaker 2>They definitely want me out there. Yeah good, I mean

394
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:34.880
<v Speaker 2>that just I mean, think about that first that I

395
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:38.839
<v Speaker 2>was there with those coyotes. I mean, right on the porch,

396
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:44.279
<v Speaker 2>out of a dead sleep, waking up with that screaming.

397
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:48.240
<v Speaker 2>And these were the loudest coyotes I've ever heard in

398
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:52.759
<v Speaker 2>my life. So but I at that point, I don't

399
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:59.960
<v Speaker 2>think of anything else, you know, possibly mimicking a coyote, right,

400
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:04.240
<v Speaker 2>But there was just too many strange things that happened

401
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:08.280
<v Speaker 2>over that time. And then when you put them all together. Yeah,

402
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:10.559
<v Speaker 2>whatever it is did not want me there.

403
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:18.239
<v Speaker 1>There's something that I want to clarify. It is back

404
00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:21.960
<v Speaker 1>at your house. So whenever you left the house, you

405
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:24.119
<v Speaker 1>would hear owls throughout the day.

406
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:29.360
<v Speaker 2>It was in the evening. Seven nights in a row.

407
00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I would go out on my back deck and it

408
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:39.239
<v Speaker 2>would start. It was only me. When somebody else went out,

409
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:44.840
<v Speaker 2>it didn't happen, and I thought that it was really strange.

410
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Especially after about the third night. I'm like, yeah, here

411
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:56.039
<v Speaker 2>we go again. So I don't know. And then when

412
00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:59.239
<v Speaker 2>my daughter swears it was a baby crying right outside

413
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:06.920
<v Speaker 2>her window, brings back, you know that scream that I

414
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:14.000
<v Speaker 2>heard too. So I don't know. I didn't see anything,

415
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:20.920
<v Speaker 2>and I'm kind of glad I didn't see anything, but

416
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:23.559
<v Speaker 2>it sure has affected me.

417
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh absolutely. I do have another question about the owls.

418
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:34.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, sometimes I get people that report something similar

419
00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:38.199
<v Speaker 1>to that. But then, were there any other details you

420
00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:42.559
<v Speaker 1>remember about how they sounded or anything that was off

421
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:45.559
<v Speaker 1>about it? Or did it sound like pretty much a

422
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:46.280
<v Speaker 1>normal owl?

423
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:51.599
<v Speaker 2>It sounded the it was kind of a louder owl.

424
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Who but they were the same every night, and I

425
00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:01.840
<v Speaker 2>couldn't see the owl, but it wasn't too far away

426
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:04.280
<v Speaker 2>from me, but I thought that rather out every time

427
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:10.719
<v Speaker 2>I came out for that week, it would happen, and

428
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:13.360
<v Speaker 2>then I just quit, and I had never happened.

429
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Since I was going to ask you that too. Is

430
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:22.519
<v Speaker 1>so after that last interaction where it was you and

431
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:26.000
<v Speaker 1>your family at the property and then you were able

432
00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:31.480
<v Speaker 1>to get out of there, did anything else the ordinary

433
00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:34.960
<v Speaker 1>happened since then? Or it's been pretty much cleared out.

434
00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:42.039
<v Speaker 2>It's been pretty calm. I have not had any more instances.

435
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:52.639
<v Speaker 1>And your daughter as well too. Yes, okay, interesting. Have

436
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:57.719
<v Speaker 1>you ever done any research to see if there's been

437
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:01.000
<v Speaker 1>other encounters reported near that area?

438
00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:07.239
<v Speaker 2>I did look up. I saw one that was actually

439
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:11.360
<v Speaker 2>along the Iroquois River there, but it was further west

440
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:20.440
<v Speaker 2>and south, and somebody had seen had actually seen them

441
00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:23.719
<v Speaker 2>a couple of nights in a row along the road.

442
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:32.360
<v Speaker 2>But then that was that. But no, I've seen I

443
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:39.000
<v Speaker 2>have heard other instances more in southern Illinois. People have

444
00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:39.719
<v Speaker 2>seen them.

445
00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:44.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh absolutely. I mean you get down to southern Illinois

446
00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:49.679
<v Speaker 1>and it does get extremely wild down there. It's come

447
00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:53.119
<v Speaker 1>up a few times on the show recently. There's some

448
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:58.400
<v Speaker 1>that aren't even out yet. But yeah, southern Illinois is interesting.

449
00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:02.679
<v Speaker 1>That's why it's special to hear about this area of

450
00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:05.519
<v Speaker 1>the state. You don't hear a lot of it. Usually

451
00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:12.039
<v Speaker 1>hear around Peoria or down near Shawnee. So it's very

452
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:13.800
<v Speaker 1>cool to hear about this area.

453
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Although there are some big woods there. Yeah, and like

454
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's a river. Yeah, I don't know.

455
00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:34.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, John, it sounds like you've you've thought about

456
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:39.239
<v Speaker 1>this a whole lot over over the years. And I

457
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:44.199
<v Speaker 1>don't blame you. I would as well when you think

458
00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:49.800
<v Speaker 1>about Bigfoot, and I know you didn't have the chance

459
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:55.639
<v Speaker 1>to see anything, but you really experienced some intense things.

460
00:38:56.800 --> 00:39:01.000
<v Speaker 1>So when you're thinking about that in your mind, what

461
00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:03.400
<v Speaker 1>do you do? You have any thoughts about what Bigfoot

462
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:05.679
<v Speaker 1>might be that's out there.

463
00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, I do believe it is an entity that maybe interdimensional.

464
00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:24.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's so many people have seen them and

465
00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:32.800
<v Speaker 2>experienced things. There's got to be something there. Uh got

466
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:33.840
<v Speaker 2>to be a lot smarter than me.

467
00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:45.280
<v Speaker 1>It definitely knew where you were on the property and

468
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:49.719
<v Speaker 1>where you were headed, which is pretty wild. How it

469
00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:54.159
<v Speaker 1>had the the trees against certain areas.

470
00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, two trees down, one right in front of my stand.

471
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:04.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was a green tree just broken half,

472
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:12.480
<v Speaker 2>and then the one the big tree, and it was

473
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:18.519
<v Speaker 2>perfect and it came back. It was backwards and it

474
00:40:18.599 --> 00:40:21.760
<v Speaker 2>was perfectly lined up to the cabin. The tip of

475
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:28.039
<v Speaker 2>the top of the tree was touching the cabin. At

476
00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:31.039
<v Speaker 2>that point, I thought, oh, this is how lucky can

477
00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:32.519
<v Speaker 2>you get that it didn't.

478
00:40:32.199 --> 00:40:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Destroy the cabin right exactly?

479
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:37.679
<v Speaker 2>But then I was looking at it. There's no lightning

480
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:41.679
<v Speaker 2>strikes and it was just broken.

481
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:51.519
<v Speaker 1>At any time, did you see any anything that looked

482
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:57.760
<v Speaker 1>like it could be like tracks or you know, disturbances

483
00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:00.320
<v Speaker 1>in the ground anything, I thought did.

484
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:04.599
<v Speaker 2>Along the river, it looked like something had been walking

485
00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:08.400
<v Speaker 2>and it sunk deep down. I thought, you know, maybe

486
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:11.760
<v Speaker 2>it's a deer because you can't tell, but it was.

487
00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:17.800
<v Speaker 2>It was rather large, but I couldn't at that point.

488
00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:23.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm not really when I saw this, I wasn't. I

489
00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:27.800
<v Speaker 2>wasn't really thinking of that, right, but you know, it

490
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:31.719
<v Speaker 2>could have been somebody walking through the mud down there.

491
00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:34.480
<v Speaker 2>But I didn't really see anybody fishing or anything along

492
00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:35.199
<v Speaker 2>the river either.

493
00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And that's that's a good point to bring up,

494
00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:41.880
<v Speaker 1>because you know, you're just you're just a hunter out

495
00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:44.840
<v Speaker 1>there trying to figure out what's going on and trying

496
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:49.079
<v Speaker 1>to to get what you're out there for, and you're

497
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:52.880
<v Speaker 1>not in the mindset where, Okay, how long are the tracks?

498
00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:57.559
<v Speaker 1>How long between the tracks? Are the tracks in a

499
00:41:57.599 --> 00:42:01.199
<v Speaker 1>straight line, or are they by themselves? You're not thinking

500
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:04.559
<v Speaker 1>like that, You're just like, what what is going on? Yeah?

501
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:05.599
<v Speaker 1>I get it.

502
00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:13.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was something I don't ever want to experience again.

503
00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:21.519
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you that, would you ever want to to

504
00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:24.639
<v Speaker 1>see what one looks like if you had the.

505
00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:34.199
<v Speaker 2>Chance, I guess I would, just out of curiosity. But

506
00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:38.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that. I you know, I don't know

507
00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:42.639
<v Speaker 2>what I would have done if I would have saw one,

508
00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:52.920
<v Speaker 2>know that that one night. Yeah, I don't know. I

509
00:42:52.960 --> 00:43:00.599
<v Speaker 2>guess it would be interesting to see one, But with

510
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:03.639
<v Speaker 2>the stuff that's happened to me, actually, I don't know

511
00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:04.000
<v Speaker 2>if I do.

512
00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:09.719
<v Speaker 1>Sure. Yeah, it's a tricky one, for sure. I mean, yeah,

513
00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:13.519
<v Speaker 1>definitely you can say that that you do. But then

514
00:43:13.559 --> 00:43:16.159
<v Speaker 1>there's the old saying where it's it's be careful for

515
00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:22.719
<v Speaker 1>what you wish for, and I get that too. Do

516
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:28.840
<v Speaker 1>you have any thoughts as to do you feel that

517
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:33.159
<v Speaker 1>it's helpful for an individual that's had an experience like

518
00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:38.480
<v Speaker 1>this to share to someone rather than to keep it

519
00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:41.599
<v Speaker 1>all in. Was that something that you had to work

520
00:43:41.679 --> 00:43:45.440
<v Speaker 1>through or was there a difference in how you felt

521
00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:46.880
<v Speaker 1>after you finally shared it.

522
00:43:48.280 --> 00:43:52.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, at first I was I didn't think anyone would

523
00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:55.159
<v Speaker 2>believe me when I if I told them, so I to,

524
00:43:55.760 --> 00:43:59.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, I just kept quiet, But then it kept

525
00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:03.639
<v Speaker 2>eating away at me. And then once they finally did

526
00:44:03.679 --> 00:44:08.719
<v Speaker 2>say something, it did feel better. And it does feel

527
00:44:08.760 --> 00:44:11.920
<v Speaker 2>better to talk about it because I know there's other

528
00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:14.320
<v Speaker 2>people out there that have probably had some type of

529
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:19.599
<v Speaker 2>similar occurrences that might be like I was, and they're

530
00:44:19.639 --> 00:44:23.280
<v Speaker 2>not saying anything about it. So I would tell them

531
00:44:24.119 --> 00:44:27.360
<v Speaker 2>it is good to tell somebody about it and talk

532
00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:31.559
<v Speaker 2>about it. It kind of helps with understanding what happened.

533
00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, I agree one hundred percent it is. I've never

534
00:44:41.159 --> 00:44:45.920
<v Speaker 1>found it where it is not helpful to the person

535
00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:48.960
<v Speaker 1>that's sharing it. It always seems to be helpful in

536
00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:49.519
<v Speaker 1>some way.

537
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:57.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And you know, our government has to know someone

538
00:44:57.320 --> 00:45:03.960
<v Speaker 2>about this. Why they're quiet, I don't I don't know,

539
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:06.559
<v Speaker 2>but I guess they don't want to panic people.

540
00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:10.840
<v Speaker 1>But well, you know, John, I don't know, because, like

541
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:19.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're recording this on the day of the inauguration. Correct, yes,

542
00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and I mean not to get overly too political, but

543
00:45:27.440 --> 00:45:31.840
<v Speaker 1>there's a chance that some things, well some things are

544
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:36.519
<v Speaker 1>definitely going to be released if if the current president

545
00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:40.000
<v Speaker 1>has his way, and I don't think it's too far

546
00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:43.679
<v Speaker 1>out of the picture that potentially, I mean, if there's

547
00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:45.639
<v Speaker 1>ever going to be a time, it is going to

548
00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:48.639
<v Speaker 1>be you know, President Trump, that he's going to see

549
00:45:48.639 --> 00:45:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the folder as his bigfoot and he's going to say,

550
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:52.960
<v Speaker 1>just put out there. I don't care, like it's all

551
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:56.000
<v Speaker 1>about getting the right person that can be like, yes,

552
00:45:56.480 --> 00:45:58.320
<v Speaker 1>why don't you throw that out too, you know, And

553
00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man, it could happen, It could happen. Yeah,

554
00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:10.639
<v Speaker 1>we'll see, we will see. But man, John, it has

555
00:46:10.719 --> 00:46:14.239
<v Speaker 1>been a privilege having you on the show tonight. Thank
