I been looking forward 43 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.560 to this conversation. So let's get right into it. What 44 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.240 guy you interested in the subject of Bigfoot in the paranormal. 45 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.120 To begin with, of course, as a kid, you always 46 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:42.039 hear about the Bigfoot in the Pacific Northwest. I'm a 47 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.919 small town country girl from northeast Georgia. I didn't think 48 00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.000 stuff like that existed in my area, but at the 49 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:52.919 age of sixteen, I had a life changing experience. Just 50 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:56.400 to give a little background, now, thirty eight years old, 51 00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.680 Like I said, I was sixteen at the time. I 52 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:02.120 live in a little county. It's Albert County, known for 53 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.159 the god stones that blew up. That's about all we're 54 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.879 known for. So I've been born and raised here my 55 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.479 whole life left come back. I'm an ear nurse, that's 56 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.719 my profession, and as hobby, I would go look for 57 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.759 Bigfoot in the weird. Sixteen years old, I played in 58 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.000 a band. It was a country band. Everyone in the 59 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.919 band was a bit older than me. I'd say late 60 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.479 fifties early sixties country band. So we would all get 61 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.879 to around at my parents' place every second weekend of 62 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.599 the night, then make music. The band member's wife, Susie, 63 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.439 like I said, she was probably mid fifties at that time, 64 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.159 and myself decided to go look at some egle nests 65 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.840 on the property at the very back end of thirty 66 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:53.199 acres during break from band practice. It's still daylight, it's 67 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.800 in the evening. It's summer, beautiful weather. We hop on 68 00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.800 the ATV and take off. Like I said, it's thirty 69 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.719 eight of nothing but wood near the river, and it's 70 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:07.479 a long, skinny tract of land and we head down 71 00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.159 as far as we can go on the ATV. We 72 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.439 park it and what we call all a pig path 73 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.839 has been cut from the top of the hill down 74 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.720 the ridge red levels out and you have a we 75 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:24.519 call a swamp area that goes across several people's property, 76 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.800 and then on the end of my parents' property was 77 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.600 a breed. If you go right out on the point 78 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.160 of that creek and swamp area, you can look out 79 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.800 and see at that time several eagle nests, and every 80 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.079 now and then eagle would fly over. We're minding arm business, 81 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.439 I said, it's gorgeous. All of a sudden, out of 82 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:48.079 nowhere we're looking, we hear something coming towards us. And 83 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:53.519 whatever this is coming at us quick. It's crashing through 84 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.920 the brush. It's thick wood, so there's a good bit 85 00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.399 of trees there's a lot of foliage on there at summertime. 86 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:03.079 But you could see this thing coming towards us. The 87 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.800 smaller trees were literally bending over as it was coming 88 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:13.000 as very fast. Of course, she starts screaming. I don't scream, 89 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:16.120 but I freeze because I'm not understanding what's going on. 90 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:21.160 This thing. I'm gonna call it a bigfoot. This bigfoot 91 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.399 comes towards us onside the ridge. It gets between us 92 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:32.079 and the ATV, and it stops. The woods go dead silent, 93 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.519 and you could have heard a pin drop. It is eerie. 94 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.079 It's quiet. There are no birds, there are no insects, 95 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:43.040 there is no movement whatsoever. It is dead, silent. I'm 96 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.720 sitting here looking at whatever stopped in between us and 97 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.000 the ATV, and what I see is a massive creature 98 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:54.800 on two legs. The width of it I would describe 99 00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.319 as being up against the Georgia football player with all 100 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:01.079 their deer wrong their massive width. The height of it 101 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.879 is estimating so and a half a top. It's larger 102 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:09.879 than your average everyday human. Unfortunately, because of how many 103 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.519 leaves are on the trees and the thick woods, you 104 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.000 can't see any detail of this creature of the big Foot. 105 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.040 But you can see the mass blocking out the sunlight. 106 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.040 You could see the mass of it, the width of 107 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:25.040 it in the woods, standing there looking at us. She 108 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.560 grabs me. Of course, funny now not. And then but 109 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.800 she grabs me and throws me out in front of her, 110 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.839 and she starts screaming, We're gonna die, We're gonna die. 111 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.120 I'm sitting there thinking, oh, dear, I think I might die. 112 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.480 I know that there's nowhere to go. Behind me and 113 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.040 to the side of me is nothing but water. In 114 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.759 front of me where the ATV is, there's this creature 115 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.360 standing there. We have nowhere to go. We're way back 116 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.240 in the mill of the wood. It's now aching here scream. 117 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.079 There's nobody else back there. I'm sitting there looking at it. 118 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:56.920 I'm going through my mind, what is this? 119 00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:57.839 Now? 120 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:01.000 We have fear on the property, we have bobcap, we 121 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.480 have all the variety of animals. I've come into contact 122 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.560 with bear several times. I'm sure there could be possibly 123 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.519 a hunter that comes across our land. But this was 124 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.319 no man, this was no person. Aguillly suit. People are 125 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:14.680 like you just saw that. People said you saw a 126 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.360 bear stand out in too lays I did not. This 127 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.879 was something I've never seen before. So this creature is 128 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:25.199 bigfood is down there looking at us. I don't hear anything. 129 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.959 People have asked me to smell it. I didn't sell anything. 130 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.319 At the time. It was just quiet. But it's standing there, 131 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.199 it's looking in us, and all of a sudden, probably 132 00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:38.560 I'm estimating seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds, which feels like 133 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.560 an hour, it just turns and it walks away. And 134 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.839 it continues in the same direction it was going. But 135 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.680 as it turns and it walks away, as it crosses 136 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:54.040 the pig path where there was more of an opening, 137 00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.120 what I saw on what I focused on in my 138 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.120 mind was as it walked and are and a hand 139 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:04.199 swung out as if you and I were walking, and 140 00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:06.519 that in my mind, that's what I focused on. And 141 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:11.040 at that point I was like, I know what this is. 142 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.439 This is not a human. It walked away quietly. It 143 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:19.800 walked away with no sound and continued on its merry 144 00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:22.319 little way. I don't know if it come at us, 145 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:25.519 because he she, I want to say she. I feel 146 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:27.600 like it was a she. If she thought we were 147 00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.240 a threat. Maybe there was a young in the area, 148 00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:34.159 maybe its home was there. Maybe we just invaded the territory. 149 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:38.000 I don't know, but it come at us like I 150 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.440 would describe like a mother dog protecting her pups. And 151 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.080 I think when she realized it realized we were not 152 00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:48.799 there to hurt anything and were just terrified, it was like, eh, okay, 153 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.799 I'll continue on. So when we could no longer hear it, 154 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.399 we took off run and we jumped on the ATV 155 00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:00.440 and headed back towards the studio where the band was practicing. 156 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.559 And it was like in a dream, you just can't 157 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:05.960 go fast enough. It felt like something was behind you, 158 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:09.759 chasing you. It wasn't, but it was just that terrifying. 159 00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:12.759 Of course, we get back to the studio, we're screaming. 160 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:15.480 We'd tell people what happened, what was saw, and they're like, 161 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.759 oh my god, she saw a bear And here comes 162 00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:20.360 the no you did, and grab your guitar. We got 163 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.320 to play. And that changed her life and the fact 164 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.480 that she used to go out on the ated You're 165 00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.000 a Man practice and way in the woods. She would 166 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.559 ride the trails and have fun. She never went back 167 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:32.919 in the woods after that, and still to this day 168 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:36.000 she speaks of do you remember that time in the woods? 169 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:38.799 Do you remember what we saw? Guests, and as as 170 00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:41.679 far as my life, it changed because I have to 171 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.360 know more. I want to see what I saw all 172 00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:48.000 those years ago. I want to see you had to 173 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.159 tell I want to see a face, but I want 174 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.399 to know what I saw. I have an idea what 175 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.840 I saw, but I didn't get detail. So I'm on 176 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:59.240 a quest for the truth to see and find out 177 00:09:59.279 --> 00:09:59.759 more about this. 178 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.000 I am on that same path with you. I've definitely 179 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:05.720 had some things happened to me over the last couple 180 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.600 of months that have completely changed the way that I 181 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:10.720 felt about the subject. I was on the fence of 182 00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:12.559 about whether or not these things are real, and now 183 00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.279 I'm one hundred percent I know because I've seen them. 184 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.480 Let's go back and talk a little bit about I 185 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.600 am very familiar with Elbert County, Georgia. I did a 186 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:23.759 show a couple of years ago. We did this in 187 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.399 addition to Bigfoot. I do a couple of other podcasts 188 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.360 I host for full time podcasts, and we did one 189 00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:33.360 on some history stuff. I was fascinated with the Georgia guidestones. 190 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.200 We did a pretty decent job of covering the Georgia 191 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.240 guidestones on one of those episodes, me and my buddy 192 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.799 Greg out in California and lo and behold. I think 193 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.320 it was probably less than a week after that aired, 194 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:49.879 some Yahoo blew up the Guidestones. That was a very 195 00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:51.960 popular episode, and I had tons of listeners reaching out 196 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.279 to me, sending me emails and sending me messages that 197 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.000 day saying, hey, man, do you think your show had 198 00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.039 something to do with that? You think this crazy guy 199 00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:02.320 heard you talk about the Georgia guide stones. So I 200 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:06.279 literally had this old crap moment of I hope I 201 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:10.279 wasn't somehow responsible for this guy blowing up the Georgia guidstones. 202 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:13.120 Just a little funny aside. I'm definitely familiar. 203 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:13.480 With that area. 204 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.120 Let's go back to the time of day, Chris and 205 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:17.679 I apologize. I don't know if you said it or not, 206 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:20.720 but what time of day were we talking when this 207 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.720 experience happened. Was it dusk? Was it dark? Was it 208 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:25.679 getting dark when you had this experience? 209 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.799 It was in the evening. It was still daylight outside, 210 00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.759 but it was getting close to dusk. Give us in 211 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:34.080 the evening, and of course in the woods when you 212 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.080 get in there, things are darker than if you're out 213 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:40.200 just walking around. It was evening time, but steal plenty 214 00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:44.080 of sunlight for you to see your surroundings. 215 00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:46.519 So you go back and you tell people, it's a 216 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.799 very similar thing that I've heard so many times that 217 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.840 people have said, you have this amazing experience. You have 218 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:55.360 a close up encounter with this thing that is not 219 00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:59.159 supposed to exist, especially in Georgia, right because everybody knows 220 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:03.679 Bigfoot's just the Pacific Northwest according to some. But yeah, 221 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:05.559 you're having this experience and you go back and you 222 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:08.080 tell these people that you have a relationship with, that 223 00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:12.480 you believe should believe you, and you get ridicule. That 224 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.720 tends to send a lot of people in the opposite direction. 225 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:17.679 I'm glad that it didn't do that for you, because 226 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:19.960 I know what that's like. I've been there, done that, 227 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.279 and bought the T shirt. It's tough to have people 228 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.480 that you respect and you care about basically laugh at 229 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:28.519 you and say, hey, you didn't see what you thought 230 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.080 you saw. It was something else, Right, How did that 231 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.039 affect you? Moving forward? When you got into the subject, 232 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.080 it sounds like to me, obviously you sent me as 233 00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:37.799 of photos and I want to get into some of 234 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:42.200 the things that you've had experiences with after this, but 235 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:45.039 you clearly went down the path of I got to 236 00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.240 know more. I want to know more about these things. 237 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:51.600 Did you start actively telling more people about your experience 238 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:54.720 getting in Facebook groups? How did you start going down 239 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:56.720 the Bigfoot rabbit hole? And what does that look like 240 00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.600 since you started looking into these things further. 241 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.159 At that age of sixteen, the Internet was actually just 242 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.720 becoming popular, so you didn't have all the social media 243 00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:10.039 groups and all the resources you have now. I did 244 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:13.039 end up making a report with BFRO. I shared my 245 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:17.600 encounter with a few close people. Of course, was laughed at, ridiculed, 246 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:19.679 even mom dad. He was like, oh my gosh, you 247 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.320 did not see that. It was even my mom Dad. No, 248 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.440 my mom, she has had experiences on that property, and 249 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:29.720 she was like, I completely believe you. But at the age 250 00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:32.919 of sixteen, being a teen mager, I just put that back, 251 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:37.360 filed that away. My life was focused on college, just 252 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.559 starting life, enjoying life too, and I got keys to 253 00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:44.320 a car. I'm gone. However, after I graduated nursing school, 254 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.600 I do believe that's when I really started to get 255 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.480 more focused, because it never left my mind, and now 256 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:57.120 I had nightmares like horrible nightmares about that day, felt 257 00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:01.039 that away, but it was still there. The older I got, 258 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:04.679 the more I started digging. After we made the BFROI report, 259 00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:08.840 a couple of BFR members come down actually whenever the property, 260 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.639 and from there I started meeting people. And now I 261 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.000 started meeting people in the area, and I was like, 262 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:18.279 I'm not alone. Even the neighbors have had encounters. That 263 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.960 was like verification to me, I'm not crazy. I did 264 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:27.679 see something and an I'm a wum. Now, even to 265 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:30.759 this day, I get made fun of. When I was younger, 266 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:34.440 that was more sensitive to that. It bothered me more 267 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:36.759 because I who wants to be made fun of and 268 00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:39.360 laughed at? And you're the crazy girl. Oh, you're the 269 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.120 crazy bigfoot hunter. But now I'm like, I don't care. 270 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:45.440 This has actually become part of my life now a 271 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:47.200 large part of my life. And now I've met some 272 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:51.200 amazing people, even calling family friends that have become family. 273 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:56.200 So I think currently with as much media, it's almost 274 00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:59.240 like a popular thing. Now big foot is popular, so 275 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.840 you're not rich fueled as much, but you still have 276 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:06.639 those people, even close friends. It's no, you're nuts, and. 277 00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:09.000 Stay tuned for more sasquatch oat to see. We'll be 278 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.840 right back after these messages. 279 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:17.480 But it's okay. I'm okay with that now. It's fine. 280 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:20.320 I don't care what people think. I'm me. I do 281 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.279 what I do. If you don't like me, if you 282 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:26.559 don't like what I do, it's okay. That's your view, 283 00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:27.679 it's mine. 284 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.440 Let's talk about getting out there. Do you actually go 285 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:34.399 boots on the ground in the woods looking for these 286 00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:37.440 things trying to have more experiences with them. If so, 287 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:39.960 let's talk about some of those adventures. If you want 288 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:42.360 to throw in some of the other experiences that you 289 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:44.639 talked about your mom having and some of the neighbors 290 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.320 having that they've shared with you, that would be fantastic 291 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:47.759 as well. 292 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.879 Sure. Unfortunately my parents sold the property this year. Earlier 293 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.559 this year, but my mama she found footprints in the 294 00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:58.960 snow when she was checking the property line. It doesn't 295 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:01.559 snow often, and George, yeah, take those property lines and 296 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:03.759 hit the horses and ghosts don't get out of fants. 297 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:08.240 But she found like smaller footprints. She's been eight to 298 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:10.720 say screened app because the way she described it was 299 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.080 a roar of a screen and she said the only 300 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:17.519 thing possible was a big foot. She narrowed down the 301 00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:19.600 sound on the internet. She said, if you cross an 302 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:24.279 angry silver backed gorilla and the roar of a lion, 303 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.559 amplify that with the power of an elephant, you may 304 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:31.200 have what yelled at me that night. So if she's 305 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.960 had things thrown at her, she would go pan for 306 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.960 gold in the creek. There was never any gold just 307 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.519 by the way, but she would try to pan for gold, 308 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:41.960 and she would have, like well, things tossed at her 309 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.159 from the ridge line because the creek went down in 310 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:47.120 a gully. But she would have things tossed at her. 311 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.840 She'd get the filling of being watch. She would smell stuff. 312 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:53.000 Like I said, the footprints, and I even casted two 313 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:58.039 years ago a large sixteen inch footprint. I do believe 314 00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:01.240 in a smaller bitty footprint, and see use some pictures 315 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:04.319 of that. So I think they're still there. Maybe they 316 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:07.240 come through as far as the neighbor he's seen it. 317 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:12.440 There's plenty of occurrences there. But I go out with 318 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:17.960 the groups I'm currently involved with ASOG just started Seekers. 319 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:20.759 I'm involved with those two groups. We do go out 320 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:24.119 in the field. We stay usually pretty much the south 321 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:28.079 East US. I've got to see some amazing things, got 322 00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:31.920 to capture some amazing things on camera and video. So 323 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:35.440 our group is all about boots on the ground. Now 324 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:38.799 we can research on the internet, but unless you get 325 00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:40.480 out in the field and you're out in the woods, 326 00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:44.279 you cannot have those encounters, you cannot make those discoveries. 327 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:46.720 So we're all about researching out in the woods. 328 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.279 Let's talk about some of those research trips and talk 329 00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:51.880 about some of those amazing things that you've experienced and 330 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:53.759 captured on some of those trips when you've been out 331 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:54.519 in the woods. 332 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:58.920 I'll start with actually one of the most recent happenings 333 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.839 no member of Last year, we had an outing, a 334 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.359 research outing, and unfortunately a group member that was his 335 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:11.119 last outing with this and he passed away cancer this year. 336 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.160 Bob Wilson. Hush, he was my hero. But on that 337 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:20.000 outing I was able to capture a bipedal creature staring 338 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:23.799 back at me in a creek bed area way back 339 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:27.640 in the woods. And just what was it. A month 340 00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:31.000 ago we went back to the same area, we had 341 00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:36.000 another siding and unfortunately my thermal decided to mess up 342 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.440 a little bit, so I didn't capture it. However, another 343 00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:42.440 group member was able to capture something on thermal as well. 344 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.319 Whereas Smiting be about seven and a half foot tall, 345 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:50.839 about war foot wide, and the movement was very fluid, 346 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:54.079 so something going through the woods at a high rate 347 00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:58.960 of speed after being sided. It's not human, but I 348 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:03.200 do believe we come big well outing from November. The 349 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:06.680 photo is actually of it's something standing right center of 350 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:10.559 the screen looking back at me and actually blends in 351 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:15.000 well with the environment. And unfortunately, when I was filming that, 352 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:17.960 I didn't even realize it was standing in front of me. 353 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:21.799 I could just hear it and sense that something was there. 354 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:24.759 In the video, you can actually see me pan over 355 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:28.599 and I thought I was hearing maybe like at a 356 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.000 couple of line squirrels on video. I was like, oh, 357 00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:34.000 pensive flying squirrel. But I panned back and I said, no, 358 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.160 there's something here. It's looking at me and did center 359 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:40.359 of the frame. There is something standing there, and then 360 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:42.759 it retreats back and it gets behind the set of trees, 361 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:46.599 peeks out, goes back in. But zaally, at that time 362 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:48.920 I knew something was there, but I didn't even see 363 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.319 it on my thermal because of how well it blended in. 364 00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:54.240 But yeah, it's crazy. It was standing so close to me. 365 00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.039 Yeah, it's unnerving when you think about it. Are you 366 00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:01.759 guys hearing a lot of vocalization in the area? Are 367 00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:05.039 you seeing tree breaks, tree structures? Talk a little bit 368 00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.559 about what kind of physical evidence you guys are finding 369 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:10.480 in addition to having these sightings and these other experiences 370 00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:11.079 that you're having. 371 00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:16.720 For me, the most frequent sighting or evidence that we 372 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:21.240 have are like tree twists, tree breaks, and structures in 373 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:27.559 heavily wooded areas that humans don't go. But we're seeing 374 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:31.799 a lot of structures being placed. And even in areas 375 00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:35.680 we frequent we get footprints. We do, of course we 376 00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:39.119 see footprints. It's just hard to get a good clear 377 00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:43.799 track because of the weaves, the sticks, just the brush 378 00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:45.799 that oreent. It's hard to get trace. So we do 379 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:49.200 find tracks, but the most obvious are the tree structures 380 00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:52.319 that we are finding. Unfortunately, I've never found any type 381 00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:55.160 of hair or anything, but I possibly won't buy it. 382 00:20:55.799 --> 00:21:01.039 As far as vocalizations, they're not so frequent. It's occasional. 383 00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:04.480 What was that did you hear that? Yes, we can't 384 00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:08.759 contribute it to an hour or something like that. The 385 00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:11.400 last outing like I said, in this area we went to, 386 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:16.319 we were hearing some localizations one night in about three 387 00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:19.880 different locations, and we had already got back to base camp, 388 00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:22.680 was sitting around a campfire, and we were hearing them 389 00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.920 from all directions. We didn't have our recorders on us. 390 00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:28.759 Our therminals were packed away and we didn't have anything. 391 00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:30.759 We were not prepared, so we didn't get these on 392 00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:36.119 video or audio. But structures are the most common binding 393 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:36.680 we see. 394 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.319 Let's talk a little bit about the structures that you're finding, 395 00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:41.640 because I've seen the tree breaks, the twist that you're 396 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:44.960 talking about. I've seen those in just about everywhere that 397 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.319 I've been here in the southeastern United States and North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, 398 00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:52.279 even down in Florida. I've seen them in radium up 399 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.240 in BC, Canada, and recently out in the Pacific Northwest. 400 00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:58.640 But I've also found here on our land in North 401 00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:03.359
