<v Speaker 4>wash Shira County Historical Museum and jail and it was

33
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:44.520
<v Speaker 4>such a big investigation. We had five team members on

34
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 4>this and it was god over eight hours ten hours

35
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.400
<v Speaker 4>of investigating there that day, and the episode actually had

106
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:06.000
<v Speaker 6>William Lunsford is one of the people that I consider

107
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:10.800
<v Speaker 6>a field general in the area of cryptid research.

108
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.759
<v Speaker 4>He's a very wealth of knowledge, so very good to

109
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:16.800
<v Speaker 4>have him on as well.

110
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 5>So awesome.

111
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.560
<v Speaker 4>Well, what got you interested in all this cryptid stuff

112
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:24.519
<v Speaker 4>in your podcast and investigating?

113
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.680
<v Speaker 6>Well, like so many others in this field, I was

114
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.759
<v Speaker 6>inspired at a very young age by watching the reruns

115
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.519
<v Speaker 6>of In Search of and you know, it's a story

116
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.480
<v Speaker 6>you've heard lots of times before, but from other researchers,

117
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:44.639
<v Speaker 6>of seeing the Patterson Gemlin film on those reruns. And

118
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.320
<v Speaker 6>so when I saw that as a kid, I was

119
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:52.879
<v Speaker 6>immediately intrigued, and I started asking questions, and and I thought,

120
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 6>you know, who better to ask a question to than grandma.

121
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.559
<v Speaker 6>You know, Grandma's always got great stories. So I asked,

122
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:02.559
<v Speaker 6>my grandma, have you ever heard a bigfoot of? You know,

123
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.720
<v Speaker 6>I saw it on TV? And and my grandma was

124
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.960
<v Speaker 6>raised way way way back in the hollers in Kentucky,

125
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:14.519
<v Speaker 6>just across the Ohio River, and she told me a

126
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:21.919
<v Speaker 6>story about a bigfoot that that was active near her

127
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 6>home out in the country and would come into people's

128
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:30.840
<v Speaker 6>gardens and steal vegetables. And later on in life, I

129
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.639
<v Speaker 6>had an opportunity to go back there in the holler,

130
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:37.559
<v Speaker 6>as they say, and actually see the area that she

131
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.879
<v Speaker 6>was talking about, and you know, her old home was there.

132
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.519
<v Speaker 6>Of course, it was abandoned, and this place was way

133
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:49.879
<v Speaker 6>way way back in the hills. And like I said,

134
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:51.879
<v Speaker 6>she had told me a story about a bigfoot that

135
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:54.279
<v Speaker 6>had come in there and would steal vegetables from their

136
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.919
<v Speaker 6>garden and also the neighbors. And once she told me

137
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.360
<v Speaker 6>that story, I was I was all in.

138
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:02.320
<v Speaker 5>Very cool.

139
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:06.279
<v Speaker 4>We actually had an encounter in southern Wisconsin and the

140
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.360
<v Speaker 4>lady said that they were coming down and stealing vegetables

141
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.120
<v Speaker 4>and then they would throw them from the top of

142
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:12.159
<v Speaker 4>the hill down at.

143
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:13.279
<v Speaker 5>Her while she was in the garden.

144
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:18.279
<v Speaker 4>So very very a lot of garden stealing going on,

145
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.039
<v Speaker 4>I guess.

146
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:20.759
<v Speaker 5>Interesting.

147
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.919
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it was. It was really fascinating. And when I

148
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:28.360
<v Speaker 6>finally got to go out to that area and see

149
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.279
<v Speaker 6>where it all happened, even as a kid, you know

150
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:36.000
<v Speaker 6>it was it was far more isolated back in the

151
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.720
<v Speaker 6>hills than I imagined. I thought it would just be

152
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:41.320
<v Speaker 6>like a town like you know, where I was from.

153
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.559
<v Speaker 6>But and I had never seen a place so isolated

154
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.639
<v Speaker 6>back in so far back as where they have little

155
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.679
<v Speaker 6>family cemeteries long since forgotten by time. You know, places

156
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.159
<v Speaker 6>a place like that, you know, wow.

157
00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:58.000
<v Speaker 5>Interesting.

158
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:02.559
<v Speaker 4>So she did she have any other like vocals or

159
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.399
<v Speaker 4>anything else that she had heard, or just the stealing

160
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:06.440
<v Speaker 4>of the vegetables.

161
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:10.039
<v Speaker 6>She did tell me that they would hear strange noises

162
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.639
<v Speaker 6>coming from the woods at night, but that's pretty much

163
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.919
<v Speaker 6>all I was able to get her to talk about

164
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.840
<v Speaker 6>was the story about the vegetables and the strange noises

165
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:23.960
<v Speaker 6>that would come in. And it wasn't hard to hard

166
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.480
<v Speaker 6>to envision once I got out there and got to

167
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:27.799
<v Speaker 6>see the area for myself.

168
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:31.360
<v Speaker 4>That's really cool that you got to actually go back

169
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.120
<v Speaker 4>and see it. A lot of times, you know, you

170
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:36.080
<v Speaker 4>hear these stories and growing up in that and you

171
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:38.200
<v Speaker 4>just have this, like like you said, in vision of

172
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:40.080
<v Speaker 4>you know, on the edge of town or something where

173
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.240
<v Speaker 4>you think that the story took place, and adding that

174
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:45.879
<v Speaker 4>extra element of being able to see the real location

175
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.399
<v Speaker 4>and going there adds so much more to these stories.

176
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:53.519
<v Speaker 4>And able to visualize the actual what happened and the

177
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:57.200
<v Speaker 4>behavior and stuff of these creatures, it helps to understand

178
00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:57.720
<v Speaker 4>a lot of that.

179
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:04.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and that story I started, of course. You know,

180
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:07.120
<v Speaker 6>you go to the school library next and you start

181
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:10.639
<v Speaker 6>looking for every book you can find about Bigfoot, and

182
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.000
<v Speaker 6>there I think I found one in the school library,

183
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:21.600
<v Speaker 6>but it really wasn't anything of substance, but I started.

184
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.480
<v Speaker 6>You know, I'll go back to the first experience in

185
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:29.240
<v Speaker 6>the woods as a kid. I remember is being in

186
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.960
<v Speaker 6>the Cub Scouts and going to a place we called

187
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.759
<v Speaker 6>Camp Falling Rock. And out of Camp Falling Rock, I

188
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.200
<v Speaker 6>was at the opportunity to go on on trails through

189
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.919
<v Speaker 6>the woods and things, and and all the other kids were,

190
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.159
<v Speaker 6>you know, looking at the trees and you know, et cetera.

191
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.600
<v Speaker 6>But I was secretly looking for bigfoot tracks while we

192
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:50.240
<v Speaker 6>were out there.

193
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:54.559
<v Speaker 5>Now, you you grew up in Ohio, right, like all

194
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:55.759
<v Speaker 5>that was in Ohio.

195
00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:00.600
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I am originally from a town called Newark, Ohio,

196
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:04.159
<v Speaker 6>and you know, Newark, Ohio will always be home, no

197
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.519
<v Speaker 6>matter how many years it's been. But I actually had

198
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:10.240
<v Speaker 6>to go to high school in the Detroit area, so

199
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:14.559
<v Speaker 6>I kind of went jumped back and forth and from

200
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:20.320
<v Speaker 6>Ohio to Michigan. In my explorations, I was gonna say, Ohio,

201
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.559
<v Speaker 6>you know, growing up there, you got so much bigfoot activity.

202
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:25.320
<v Speaker 6>I mean, like I would I would think it's like

203
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:28.480
<v Speaker 6>one of the top I think five states for bigfoot sightings.

204
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:33.519
<v Speaker 6>I'm not it actually is. And when I got older

205
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:36.360
<v Speaker 6>and I started diving into the academics of it, I

206
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:39.799
<v Speaker 6>was very surprised to find out that Ohio was right

207
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:42.320
<v Speaker 6>up there in the top for sightings. And that's when

208
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:47.000
<v Speaker 6>I discovered places like Salt Fork and and other areas.

209
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.639
<v Speaker 6>So I was I was surprised to discover that Ohio

210
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:51.919
<v Speaker 6>was so was so high up there on the.

211
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:56.200
<v Speaker 4>List when you were going up to Detroit and stuff

212
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.039
<v Speaker 4>like that, Were you obviously into these cryptids and stuff

213
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:00.960
<v Speaker 4>at that time? You know, there's a lot of like

214
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:04.200
<v Speaker 4>dog man stuff up in that area of Michigan. Were

215
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:06.240
<v Speaker 4>you interested in that as well? Or when did that

216
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:07.600
<v Speaker 4>kind of trickle in?

217
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:13.519
<v Speaker 6>Not so much where I was in Michigan because I

218
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.360
<v Speaker 6>was in city, you know, and so there wasn't a

219
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.799
<v Speaker 6>lot I could do there. And at the time I

220
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:25.279
<v Speaker 6>had never heard of dog man and but I found

221
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:28.320
<v Speaker 6>out later that Michigan is a big state for for

222
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:35.159
<v Speaker 6>dog man sightings. And I wasn't really sold on the

223
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:40.600
<v Speaker 6>on the dog man phenomenon until going out in the

224
00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:44.440
<v Speaker 6>research area down in Arkansas with my partners down there,

225
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:49.200
<v Speaker 6>William Lunsford and Steven Hill, and they had found tracks

226
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:54.159
<v Speaker 6>and they had our game cameras down there. Let me

227
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:59.080
<v Speaker 6>jump into Arkansas. So the research area down there is

228
00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:01.879
<v Speaker 6>called Ground zero. That's that's what we call it. And

229
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:05.639
<v Speaker 6>I also called this place the Amazon of America because

230
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:10.399
<v Speaker 6>the woods are so thick that you could literally step

231
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:13.840
<v Speaker 6>in their five feet and vanish. So it doesn't take

232
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.600
<v Speaker 6>long to realize that, you know, there could be anything

233
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.039
<v Speaker 6>in those woods. Now, I wasn't really sold on the

234
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:22.759
<v Speaker 6>dog Man phenomenon until I started going out more in

235
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.639
<v Speaker 6>Arkansas with my partners down there, and they had had

236
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:32.440
<v Speaker 6>captured images on game cameras and and found tracks and

237
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:36.279
<v Speaker 6>and actually had you know, first hand accounts, and they

238
00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:40.519
<v Speaker 6>were really the ones that that sold me on that, hey,

239
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:43.559
<v Speaker 6>dog Man actually exists, you know, because I kind of

240
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:45.440
<v Speaker 6>just brushed it off. I'd heard about it, brushed it

241
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:49.480
<v Speaker 6>off in the past. But but that's really where the

242
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:54.279
<v Speaker 6>dog Man things started setting in with me, is seeing

243
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:57.960
<v Speaker 6>the evidence down there. And you know, William and I

244
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:01.200
<v Speaker 6>spoke at the Nebraska big Foot Conference this past April,

245
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:06.000
<v Speaker 6>and I was surprised that quite a few audience members

246
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:08.600
<v Speaker 6>had questions about dog Man. It seems to be popping

247
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:11.559
<v Speaker 6>up a lot more on the on the cryptid map

248
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.919
<v Speaker 6>as of late, and I was actually summer before last.

249
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.240
<v Speaker 6>Sometimes I put the logo of our podcast, I have

250
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:21.240
<v Speaker 6>an auto magnet, and sometimes I put it on the

251
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:24.039
<v Speaker 6>door when I'm out doing stuff. And I was sitting

252
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:27.679
<v Speaker 6>at a stoplight here in Anchorage and there was a

253
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.120
<v Speaker 6>truck next to me, and the people in the truck

254
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.559
<v Speaker 6>next to me yelled out, hey, have you ever heard

255
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.720
<v Speaker 6>about dog man sightings in Michigan? I guess they were

256
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:38.679
<v Speaker 6>from Michigan. And obviously where I have stoplight, we didn't

257
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:40.919
<v Speaker 6>get a chance to really interact a lot, but I said,

258
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:43.600
<v Speaker 6>actually yes, and they're like, have you ever seen one?

259
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:45.960
<v Speaker 6>I say, no, I have not seen one, but I

260
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.080
<v Speaker 6>have talked to people who have. So this dog man

261
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:50.320
<v Speaker 6>phenomena seems to be coming up a lot more as

262
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:51.639
<v Speaker 6>of weight. Have you noticed that?

263
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:52.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

264
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:54.720
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, yeah, yeah.

265
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.279
<v Speaker 4>I try and bring more guests on because like it

266
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:01.440
<v Speaker 4>seems like the amount of bigfoot researchers is off the chart,

267
00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:04.720
<v Speaker 4>Like if you throw your pin on Facebook, you can

268
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:07.640
<v Speaker 4>find those pretty easily. But there's there's not so many

269
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:10.920
<v Speaker 4>people that focus in on, you know, the dog man phenomenon.

270
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:13.359
<v Speaker 4>But even so, the dog man is you know, if

271
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:17.319
<v Speaker 4>there's one hundred bigfoot researchers, there's probably fifty of them

272
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:20.039
<v Speaker 4>that are into the dog man stuff. And then when

273
00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:22.359
<v Speaker 4>you get to the other stuff like the lake monsters

274
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.240
<v Speaker 4>and other weirder stuff, and that it drops off very

275
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:28.559
<v Speaker 4>substantially off of that as well. But there's more and

276
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:32.240
<v Speaker 4>more people having dog man sightings coming forward, and I

277
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:36.160
<v Speaker 4>think it's, you know, like with Bigfoot being more and

278
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:41.759
<v Speaker 4>more acceptable to talk about, it seems like since that

279
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:46.359
<v Speaker 4>has fallen way down that now the dog man stuff is, well,

280
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:49.519
<v Speaker 4>if we can talk about Bigfoot, there's another thing that

281
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:51.599
<v Speaker 4>I you know, saw in the woods, and we're starting

282
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:53.599
<v Speaker 4>to get more and more of those sightings come forward.

283
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:59.599
<v Speaker 6>So, yeah, excellent point. Excellent point. And where you are

284
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.240
<v Speaker 6>in the Midwest, obviously you're just a hop, skip and

285
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:06.640
<v Speaker 6>a jump from Michigan, and they're also up near the

286
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:11.039
<v Speaker 6>up of Michigan there in Wisconsin. Are you hearing more

287
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:13.319
<v Speaker 6>stories from that particular area.

288
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.839
<v Speaker 4>Not necessarily from Michigan, but we you know, we have

289
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:20.720
<v Speaker 4>the Beast of Bray Road here in Wisconsin, down in Elcorn,

290
00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:24.160
<v Speaker 4>and we get quite a few sightings around the horror

291
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:29.640
<v Speaker 4>Con Marsh area, which is kind of middle lower of

292
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:31.960
<v Speaker 4>the state and then down in the lower part of

293
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:34.799
<v Speaker 4>the state. But most of the stuff that we get

294
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:38.000
<v Speaker 4>for dog man is kind of like a little cross

295
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:41.720
<v Speaker 4>across the bottom of that area of the southern area,

296
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.720
<v Speaker 4>but a few up north, but not too much. It's

297
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.839
<v Speaker 4>all kind of central centralized in one area of our

298
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 4>state for as far as where I'm getting reports and

299
00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:51.440
<v Speaker 4>stuff from.

300
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:58.000
<v Speaker 6>But interesting, our game cameras in Arkansas have picked up

301
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:02.119
<v Speaker 6>things that we just can't expec lane but have canine

302
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:05.599
<v Speaker 6>like features to it. And we've sound We've found some

303
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:11.799
<v Speaker 6>pretty big canine like tracks there as well. And with

304
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.359
<v Speaker 6>with our game cameras down there, you know, we've got

305
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:18.079
<v Speaker 6>them on trees, yes, but we've got them hidden in

306
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.839
<v Speaker 6>brush piles. We've got them hidden all over the place.

307
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:27.200
<v Speaker 6>And cameras that are are cross you know, cross gritting.

308
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.200
<v Speaker 6>And you know, the the the bigfoot are creative and

309
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.079
<v Speaker 6>you have to be creative too, and actually the cryptids

310
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:35.880
<v Speaker 6>are creative. You have to be be creative too. So

311
00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:39.519
<v Speaker 6>you know, we're very strategic in how we place our

312
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:42.279
<v Speaker 6>game cameras. And you know a lot of people who

313
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.000
<v Speaker 6>are not familiar with bigfoot research think that, you know,

314
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:47.440
<v Speaker 6>you're just putting the game cameras back on the tree

315
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:50.640
<v Speaker 6>and et cetera. No, no, no, you know, you've got

316
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:52.640
<v Speaker 6>to be creative about it. If you're gonna if you're

317
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:53.480
<v Speaker 6>gonna get anything.

318
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:56.880
<v Speaker 4>One of the best things that some researchers have come

319
00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:59.960
<v Speaker 4>on to the show and talked about is putting game

320
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:04.960
<v Speaker 4>cameras buy a river's edge or even out like right

321
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:07.440
<v Speaker 4>in the middle of the river, because you have so

322
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:09.640
<v Speaker 4>much stuff going on there. You have the sound of

323
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:12.920
<v Speaker 4>the river could mask the sound of potentially you know

324
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:15.680
<v Speaker 4>what these creatures are hearing. With the game cameras, you

325
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.599
<v Speaker 4>have the smell of the river and the changing things

326
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:21.599
<v Speaker 4>like that that mask the smell of these things being

327
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:25.680
<v Speaker 4>human in the area, and you have everything needs water,

328
00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:28.559
<v Speaker 4>so you have a massive amount of animals and creatures

329
00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:30.359
<v Speaker 4>and stuff that are coming down to the water. So

330
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:32.920
<v Speaker 4>I think that the best place, you know, look at

331
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:36.519
<v Speaker 4>look at you know, past research, the Patterson Gimlin footage

332
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:39.680
<v Speaker 4>and a lot of the other footage that seems legitimate

333
00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:42.960
<v Speaker 4>has been captured either right on a river or right

334
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:45.359
<v Speaker 4>by the river banks and stuff. So it makes a

335
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:47.279
<v Speaker 4>lot of sense that you're able to kind of sneak

336
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:50.359
<v Speaker 4>up and get a get a jump on these things

337
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:53.200
<v Speaker 4>using the rivers and streams and stuff that make a

338
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.000
<v Speaker 4>lot of noise and have movement as kind of a

339
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:57.119
<v Speaker 4>way to camouflage.

340
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:02.799
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, putting game cameras and hiding game cameras near water

341
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:06.359
<v Speaker 6>sources fantastic idea. You know, goes all the way back

342
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:08.440
<v Speaker 6>to the legend of Buggy Creek and that they follow

343
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:12.400
<v Speaker 6>the waterways, you know. So absolutely fantastic idea. And like

344
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:14.440
<v Speaker 6>I said, you got to be creative about it, got

345
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:17.000
<v Speaker 6>to be creative about it. Are actually my favorite game

346
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.559
<v Speaker 6>camera that we have is actually inside of a tree,

347
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:22.359
<v Speaker 6>you know. And if you we actually have a little

348
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:26.480
<v Speaker 6>video on TikTok of this where William is actually demonstrating

349
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:29.720
<v Speaker 6>how he changes out the SD card. But I think

350
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:33.240
<v Speaker 6>that's my favorite one, you know. But some of our

351
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:36.200
<v Speaker 6>cameras are, like like I said, in brush piles, you know.

352
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:40.240
<v Speaker 6>And one of the things about the Arkansas research is

353
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:47.720
<v Speaker 6>there are snakes and rattlesnakes, copper heads. Our area is

354
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:52.319
<v Speaker 6>just infested with snakes. And so I'm not too keen

355
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.640
<v Speaker 6>about reaching my hand in a brush pile, and so

356
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.279
<v Speaker 6>I leave that up to my partner. Experts who grew

357
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:02.160
<v Speaker 6>up there know how to deal with snakes, and they

358
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:05.559
<v Speaker 6>know how to how to manipulate that brush and get

359
00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:06.880
<v Speaker 6>those cameras out of there.

360
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:10.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I would not be too keen reaching into that

361
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:15.519
<v Speaker 4>pile either. Luckily, Wisconsin doesn't have any indigenous poisonous snakes,

362
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.319
<v Speaker 4>and there are some some that like kind of migrate

363
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:20.599
<v Speaker 4>through the state, but we don't have any of that here.

364
00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:23.480
<v Speaker 4>So we're very lucky and fortunate to you know, put

365
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:27.240
<v Speaker 4>our hands in whatever we want almost But yeah, I've

366
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:32.680
<v Speaker 4>tried actually the uh kinda. We took a log and

367
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:35.920
<v Speaker 4>carved it out and put a trail camera in there,

368
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:38.920
<v Speaker 4>and I got a bird and some other stuff. I

369
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:43.680
<v Speaker 4>got a really weird hair pattern on one picture, like,

370
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:46.279
<v Speaker 4>and then the log was knocked over, so it could

371
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:48.359
<v Speaker 4>have been a bear or something. It looked like longer

372
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:52.359
<v Speaker 4>hair fur on whatever creature this was. But as far

373
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:54.720
<v Speaker 4>as like getting it to take a nice clear picture,

374
00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:58.359
<v Speaker 4>it didn't. But anybody that watched, I think it was

375
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:01.319
<v Speaker 4>maybe last week's episode of Weekend before I had Michael

376
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:06.039
<v Speaker 4>James on and he was talking about these three sixty

377
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:11.680
<v Speaker 4>stealth cameras, and it just so happens that I had

378
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:14.200
<v Speaker 4>him on. I had it was a prerecorded episode, had

379
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:16.680
<v Speaker 4>him on, and like a day or two later, I

380
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:20.240
<v Speaker 4>went to Walmart and there was one on clearance, So

381
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:22.519
<v Speaker 4>I got this one for seventy five dollars. It's one

382
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:25.960
<v Speaker 4>hundred and fifty dollars camera. But anybody that didn't watch

383
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:28.640
<v Speaker 4>the episode it it has motion sensor all the way

384
00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:32.160
<v Speaker 4>around and the camera will spin and take a three

385
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:37.200
<v Speaker 4>sixty photo whenever something is triggered. So it's it's a

386
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:40.240
<v Speaker 4>really cool camera. It goes on like a stake instead

387
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:42.839
<v Speaker 4>of like a mounted to a tree. But and it's

388
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:45.119
<v Speaker 4>got like Wi Fi and stuff so that you can

389
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:46.799
<v Speaker 4>send it to your phone in that as well.

390
00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:49.759
<v Speaker 5>But I don't know. I haven't tried it yet obviously.

391
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:53.519
<v Speaker 6>But nice, Nice, You're definitely definitely gonna have to give

392
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:56.279
<v Speaker 6>me some feedback on that on that camera there, and

393
00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:59.480
<v Speaker 6>let me know how it is. If you end up

394
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:03.119
<v Speaker 6>recommending it, I'll grab myself a couple. But the cameras

395
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:08.599
<v Speaker 6>that I've had up here in Alaska have have disappeared.

396
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:15.240
<v Speaker 6>They've either been stolen or ripped off off the trees

397
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:19.519
<v Speaker 6>by animals or or who knows, even a bear, you know,

398
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:23.359
<v Speaker 6>because obviously we have a rather large bear issue up here.

399
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.359
<v Speaker 6>So but yeah, let let me know how those those

400
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:30.400
<v Speaker 6>that camera works out. I'd love to hear the feedback.

401
00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:33.640
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, Like I said, I'm going to try and deploy

402
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:35.799
<v Speaker 4>this one in the middle of a stream or river.

403
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:38.920
<v Speaker 4>And we were talking before the show. I have a

404
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:41.759
<v Speaker 4>new area that I'm trying to research this year, and

405
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:43.480
<v Speaker 4>I think that that's where I'm going to try and

406
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:45.359
<v Speaker 4>deploy this thing as soon as I find a good

407
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:47.599
<v Speaker 4>spot for it to go and put it out.

408
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:49.960
<v Speaker 5>But I think that's what I'm gonna try to do

409
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:50.240
<v Speaker 5>with it.

410
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:54.640
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, excellent idea. Excellent idea.

411
00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:56.799
<v Speaker 5>So we talked a.

412
00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:58.880
<v Speaker 4>Little bit about Arkansas, and I will come back to

413
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:01.759
<v Speaker 4>your your pictures, but I want to know, like, do

414
00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:04.799
<v Speaker 4>you do you get to go out in Alaska and stuff?

415
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:08.680
<v Speaker 4>Have you had any sightings or you know, good good

416
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:10.200
<v Speaker 4>evidence and stuff up there where you go?

417
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:17.720
<v Speaker 6>No sightings here in Alaska as far as real time.

418
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:23.200
<v Speaker 6>I've found signs that they've been in the area. You

419
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:27.559
<v Speaker 6>know a lot of tree breaks, and you know, obviously

420
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:31.640
<v Speaker 6>tree breaks are one of those big controversial topics in

421
00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:36.200
<v Speaker 6>the bigfoot research community, and specifically what we look for

422
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:39.880
<v Speaker 6>up here and actually in our Arkansas area too, are

423
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:44.559
<v Speaker 6>what we call standalone breaks, and these are breaks that

424
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:51.279
<v Speaker 6>don't have anything else around them that's collapsed. You know,

425
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:54.799
<v Speaker 6>as as Bigfoot researchers you always have to be your

426
00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:58.880
<v Speaker 6>first skeptic, and you've always got to rule out We

427
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:00.599
<v Speaker 6>have kind of a list we go through. You always

428
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:02.880
<v Speaker 6>got to rule out the natural phenomenon, you know, when

429
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:04.720
<v Speaker 6>it comes to tree breaks, you know, was it wind,

430
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:06.880
<v Speaker 6>is it weather? Is it the weight of snow the

431
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Speaker 6>previous season, or if you're out researching in wintertime, is

432
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:15.359
<v Speaker 6>it recent snow that may have collapsed something. So the

433
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:17.720
<v Speaker 6>type of tree breaks that we really focus in on

434
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:20.559
<v Speaker 6>are what we call the standalone breaks. And so I've

435
00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:25.440
<v Speaker 6>found a lot of standalone breaks and also other other

436
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:29.720
<v Speaker 6>tree structures that that you know, some researchers will will

437
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:35.920
<v Speaker 6>say they are nests or some will will call them

438
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:40.960
<v Speaker 6>century posts, you know, where they hide to be on

439
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:45.160
<v Speaker 6>the lookout for the UH clan or family. So I

440
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:49.799
<v Speaker 6>found a lot of that and uh the tracks that

441
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:55.079
<v Speaker 6>I've found up here. Again, you you've got to be

442
00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:58.640
<v Speaker 6>your first skeptic, right and here in Alaska, obviously we

443
00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:05.359
<v Speaker 6>have large predators, mainly bear. And I always say that

444
00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:10.920
<v Speaker 6>in places that have large predators, the large predator tracks

445
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:15.000
<v Speaker 6>can often be misidentified as bigfoot tracks because if you

446
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:20.920
<v Speaker 6>get a grizzly that steps someplace twice and it just

447
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:24.799
<v Speaker 6>enlarges that area, you know, it can start to resemble

448
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:28.440
<v Speaker 6>a sasquatch track. So you really got to be careful

449
00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:31.240
<v Speaker 6>in how you examine, and you know, make sure you

450
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:33.680
<v Speaker 6>have your tools with you, like your tape measure and

451
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:37.400
<v Speaker 6>things like that. But so finding the tracks up here,

452
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:40.839
<v Speaker 6>except in the wintertime. The wintertime is much easier, but

453
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:44.720
<v Speaker 6>during the summer, when bears are so active, you know,

454
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:47.400
<v Speaker 6>you really got to be careful with the tracks and

455
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:52.000
<v Speaker 6>make sure you're not misidentifying them.

456
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:51.519
<v Speaker 5>One hundred percent.

457
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:54.839
<v Speaker 4>We were doing we were on this private property doing

458
00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:58.680
<v Speaker 4>an investigation in Upper Michigan, and I was hiking around

459
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:01.400
<v Speaker 4>this area and we just got back to base camp

460
00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:04.720
<v Speaker 4>and maybe a couple hundred feet out of base camp

461
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:07.559
<v Speaker 4>is this mud puddle and it's dried water, so it

462
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:10.960
<v Speaker 4>was just nice mud and there was a really nice

463
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:13.519
<v Speaker 4>bigfoot track in the middle of it. And I'm like,

464
00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:16.279
<v Speaker 4>oh my gosh, like this thing had to just come

465
00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:18.839
<v Speaker 4>through here. And I went back to camp and I

466
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:21.079
<v Speaker 4>got my mom and brought her back out there and

467
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:23.559
<v Speaker 4>started looking at it, and then we realized it was

468
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:26.039
<v Speaker 4>a double step of a bear. But when you first

469
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:28.960
<v Speaker 4>looked at it, it looked very much like a bigfoot track,

470
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:32.279
<v Speaker 4>and it went from it went from excitement of oh

471
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:35.799
<v Speaker 4>my gosh, a bigfoot track to oh, there's a bear

472
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:40.160
<v Speaker 4>right here. The excitement turned to something else.

473
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:46.119
<v Speaker 6>So, yeah, me and my fellow podcast host Matt Slater,

474
00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:50.440
<v Speaker 6>who is based out of Quincy, Washington, when he was

475
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:54.160
<v Speaker 6>up here years ago, him and I had a really

476
00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:59.240
<v Speaker 6>bad bear encounter while we were out, and because of

477
00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:04.599
<v Speaker 6>that incident, you know, I'm very very careful, a lot

478
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:08.759
<v Speaker 6>more careful now as to where and when I go

479
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:10.160
<v Speaker 6>out to do research.

480
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:14.880
<v Speaker 4>Interesting, yeah, we knew. We had trail cameras all over

481
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:17.359
<v Speaker 4>the property and stuff, and you would see pictures of

482
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:21.200
<v Speaker 4>we're there for about four or five years working this property,

483
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:24.960
<v Speaker 4>and you would see bears on trail cameras within like

484
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:29.000
<v Speaker 4>ten minutes of when we were there, and yet only

485
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:32.160
<v Speaker 4>once ever on that property would we ever see a

486
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:35.880
<v Speaker 4>bear in all that time. It's just crazy to know

487
00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:37.960
<v Speaker 4>that they're there. And that just shows, you know, like

488
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:40.039
<v Speaker 4>you know, when we talk about like why haven't we

489
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:42.839
<v Speaker 4>found a bigfoot or anything, Well, if we know and

490
00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:45.759
<v Speaker 4>we are getting pictures of bears on a property within

491
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:49.279
<v Speaker 4>ten minutes of us being in a location and not

492
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:53.000
<v Speaker 4>seeing hearing anything of that bear being there, imagine what

493
00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:55.920
<v Speaker 4>these other things, you know, like it's insane, Like it's

494
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:58.000
<v Speaker 4>so easy for these things to hide, and you know,

495
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:02.039
<v Speaker 4>know their environment that they you can hide from anything

496
00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:02.519
<v Speaker 4>out there.

497
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:07.599
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, another thing we run into up here is moose.

498
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:12.000
<v Speaker 6>And with the bears and the moose, they're so big

499
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:15.160
<v Speaker 6>and so massive, you would think that they would stand out,

500
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:17.920
<v Speaker 6>that you could see them on my way. But sometimes

501
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:21.039
<v Speaker 6>I've literally walked right up on moose and not realized

502
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:24.759
<v Speaker 6>they were there. These these creatures are massive, but they

503
00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:29.839
<v Speaker 6>blend into the woods so easily. It would just shock you. Now,

504
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.720
<v Speaker 6>when Matt and I had our bear encounter, you know,

505
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:35.839
<v Speaker 6>get we get a lot of questions about that. What happened?

506
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:38.559
<v Speaker 6>What happened? Well, here's what happened. So Matt and I

507
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:43.640
<v Speaker 6>were going out one day and there's a there are

508
00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:47.519
<v Speaker 6>several glaciers that are located not far away from Anchorage,

509
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:51.880
<v Speaker 6>and probably the main one is called Portage Glacier. That's

510
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:54.200
<v Speaker 6>the big tourist one that everybody goes to. But there

511
00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 6>are also some smaller secondary glaciers and there's some trails

512
00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:01.440
<v Speaker 6>that go out out there. So so Matt and I

513
00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:03.880
<v Speaker 6>on this particular day, had decided to go out to

514
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:07.880
<v Speaker 6>one of the secondary glaciers, and you know, it's a

515
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:13.119
<v Speaker 6>well hiked trails, it's not very long to get back there.

516
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:15.119
<v Speaker 6>A lot of people go out there, a lot of families.

517
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.200
<v Speaker 6>But you know, Matt and I knew that there are

518
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:20.880
<v Speaker 6>there are bears out there. This is this is bear central,

519
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:24.480
<v Speaker 6>you know. So him and I actually, you know, like

520
00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:27.960
<v Speaker 6>we usually do, took our firearms with us, and so

521
00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:30.720
<v Speaker 6>we're headed down that trail and there are you know,

522
00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:34.039
<v Speaker 6>the the yuppies and stuff are passing us, you know,

523
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:37.160
<v Speaker 6>scowling at us, how dare you bring guns with you?

524
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:39.599
<v Speaker 6>You know, that type of look. You know, We're like, yeah, whatever,

525
00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:41.880
<v Speaker 6>we live here, we know what's going on, you know.

526
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:45.160
<v Speaker 6>And so we're headed out on this trail and and

527
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:47.880
<v Speaker 6>I look down on the trail and I see some

528
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:54.039
<v Speaker 6>candy on the trail that someone's presumably someone's child had dropped.

529
00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:57.359
<v Speaker 6>And as soon as I saw that candy, I knew.

530
00:31:57.759 --> 00:32:00.720
<v Speaker 6>I knew immediately that bears would be close, as you know,

531
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:04.440
<v Speaker 6>they can you know, smell food about a billion miles away.

532
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:07.279
<v Speaker 6>So we go out to the glacier. There's a lot

533
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:09.480
<v Speaker 6>of people out there because it kind of opens up

534
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:13.759
<v Speaker 6>into this massive area, massive clearing, and went out to

535
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:15.680
<v Speaker 6>the glacier. Lots of people out there, and so we're

536
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:18.400
<v Speaker 6>on our we stay out there a little bit. On

537
00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:23.720
<v Speaker 6>our way back, and off to our left, I thought

538
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:28.799
<v Speaker 6>I heard movement, and so we stopped and we both

539
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:34.799
<v Speaker 6>face left and we saw the brush kind of moving

540
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:38.319
<v Speaker 6>back and forth, and we just watched and watched, and

541
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:41.079
<v Speaker 6>we didn't see anything. We could see the brush moving,

542
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:44.720
<v Speaker 6>but we saw nothing. And then we saw some birds

543
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:46.960
<v Speaker 6>back there, and we thought, oh, it must have been birds, right,

544
00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:50.559
<v Speaker 6>and so we turn. He's in front of me, and we,

545
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:55.640
<v Speaker 6>you know, turn again, and we took about two steps,

546
00:32:55.640 --> 00:32:58.880
<v Speaker 6>and all I can describe it is at an audible

547
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:03.359
<v Speaker 6>is like an audible voice said turn around. And when

548
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:08.319
<v Speaker 6>I turned around, about fifteen feet away was what I

549
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:11.559
<v Speaker 6>estimate to be a around a two hundred and fifty

550
00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:15.359
<v Speaker 6>pound black bear. And this black bear is at a

551
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:19.759
<v Speaker 6>dead stare with us, and it is just frozen at

552
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:26.200
<v Speaker 6>a dead stare. And you know, I literally took the

553
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:30.640
<v Speaker 6>barrel of my gun and leaned over and had it

554
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:33.720
<v Speaker 6>pointing at its head, you know, point blank range, almost,

555
00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:36.079
<v Speaker 6>and we were doing everything they tell you to do,

556
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:37.960
<v Speaker 6>you know, they tell you to scream, they tell you

557
00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:41.240
<v Speaker 6>to yell, they tell you make yourself look bigger. We

558
00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:45.880
<v Speaker 6>were doing all of that and nothing was working. And

559
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:50.599
<v Speaker 6>for people who who don't, you know, think that black

560
00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:53.400
<v Speaker 6>bears are just these cuddly creatures, you know, that will

561
00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:56.160
<v Speaker 6>run from you all the time, that's not always the case.

562
00:33:56.960 --> 00:34:02.119
<v Speaker 6>So this bear wasn't moving, and we weren't moving. So

563
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:07.559
<v Speaker 6>we're at a stalemate, and I'm thinking, you know, gosh,

564
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:11.840
<v Speaker 6>and it's happening so quickly, and you know, I had

565
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:14.480
<v Speaker 6>my gun pointed at its head, and Matt had his

566
00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:17.599
<v Speaker 6>gun out and pointed, and we're trying to decide, you know,

567
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:19.480
<v Speaker 6>do we fire some warning shots or where I had

568
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:23.559
<v Speaker 6>already made the decision that if that bear even inches forward,

569
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:27.039
<v Speaker 6>that he's going to heaven. You know, I don't know

570
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:29.000
<v Speaker 6>when or where I'm going to die, but it is

571
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:30.559
<v Speaker 6>not going to be in the jaws of a bear.

572
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:37.480
<v Speaker 6>So anyway, we're at a stalemate. And one of the

573
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:40.280
<v Speaker 6>things that they say up here about black bears and

574
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:46.519
<v Speaker 6>brown bears, if a black bear will stalk you, So

575
00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:48.840
<v Speaker 6>we're starting to wonder maybe that bear will stalking us

576
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:50.639
<v Speaker 6>the whole time. A black bear will stalk you and

577
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:53.679
<v Speaker 6>if a black bear attacks you, they will eat you,

578
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:57.840
<v Speaker 6>you know. So they say, if it's black, fight back.

579
00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:00.519
<v Speaker 6>If it's brown, get on the grind. If it's a

580
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:04.079
<v Speaker 6>brown bear, if you play dead and you cover up,

581
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:07.800
<v Speaker 6>you might survive. But if it's a black bear, you

582
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.880
<v Speaker 6>got to fight for your wife. So we are in

583
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:14.599
<v Speaker 6>a stalemate, and we finally decided we're going to start

584
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:17.840
<v Speaker 6>backing up, you know a little bit, which in hindsight

585
00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:20.079
<v Speaker 6>probably wasn't a good idea because we actually had to

586
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.400
<v Speaker 6>go kind of around a little curve, you know, and

587
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:24.119
<v Speaker 6>we kind of lost sight of it for a second,

588
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:27.599
<v Speaker 6>and it could have ran through the brush and cashed

589
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:30.360
<v Speaker 6>one of us in at that moment. But we're at

590
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:33.159
<v Speaker 6>a stalemate. Somebody's got to move, so we decided it

591
00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:35.480
<v Speaker 6>would be us, and so we backed up. We literally

592
00:35:35.559 --> 00:35:37.880
<v Speaker 6>backed up all the way back to the trail head

593
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:40.119
<v Speaker 6>and we get up back to the beginning of the

594
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:43.119
<v Speaker 6>trail and I'll never forget this woman and her boyfriend

595
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:48.119
<v Speaker 6>and their dog, unleashed of course, come walking up and

596
00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:50.679
<v Speaker 6>we said, hey, there's a bear down there, and we

597
00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:53.159
<v Speaker 6>wouldn't recommend going down there. And they were like, oh,

598
00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:56.039
<v Speaker 6>what kind is it? And I was like, what difference

599
00:35:56.079 --> 00:35:58.000
<v Speaker 6>does it make there's a bear down there?

600
00:35:58.039 --> 00:35:59.679
<v Speaker 5>You know, teddy us, we'll find out.

601
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:03.239
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, couldn't you see us backing our way down the

602
00:36:03.239 --> 00:36:05.800
<v Speaker 6>trail out the trail head? But anyway, you know, so

603
00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:08.880
<v Speaker 6>they go, you know, just you know, jaunting on down there,

604
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:14.280
<v Speaker 6>you know. And and and about five minutes later they

605
00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:16.880
<v Speaker 6>come back, you know, so I say, oh, they must

606
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:22.280
<v Speaker 6>have seen that bear. But so you know, I wasn't

607
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:26.119
<v Speaker 6>scared in the moment, because you got the adrenaline going,

608
00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:28.760
<v Speaker 6>you know, and I was ready to. I was like,

609
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:31.440
<v Speaker 6>I will kill this bear in a second, and I'll

610
00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:34.079
<v Speaker 6>sort it out with the state police later, you know.

611
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:38.119
<v Speaker 6>And I'm not a person who curses. I'm not a

612
00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:42.599
<v Speaker 6>person who swears. But when that adrenaline wore off, I

613
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:45.000
<v Speaker 6>don't know what came out of my mouth, but but

614
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:47.559
<v Speaker 6>I'm told it was quite colorful language as I was

615
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:49.880
<v Speaker 6>kicking the tire of the truck. But well, when that

616
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:52.800
<v Speaker 6>adrenaline came off, I could feel it. Then. So ever,

617
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:56.719
<v Speaker 6>since that experience that I don't want to relive that experience.

618
00:36:56.760 --> 00:37:00.320
<v Speaker 6>So Ever, since that happened, I have a extremely careful

619
00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:04.360
<v Speaker 6>up here in Alaska as to where and when I

620
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:08.800
<v Speaker 6>go and you know, so far, and I've only had

621
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:15.360
<v Speaker 6>another bear bear crossing encounter one other time and after that,

622
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:17.960
<v Speaker 6>and that was actually recently. This was actually within the

623
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:21.519
<v Speaker 6>last six months. And and I was out just to

624
00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:26.960
<v Speaker 6>film a quick promo segment for our podcast, and I

625
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:30.360
<v Speaker 6>was down this trail and I look over and it

626
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:33.800
<v Speaker 6>was it was really windy that day, so I'm guessing

627
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:37.239
<v Speaker 6>whatever it was didn't catch my scent. And I and

628
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:40.920
<v Speaker 6>I look over and I see this black figure. And

629
00:37:41.159 --> 00:37:43.760
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna say it's a bear, because I you know,

630
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:46.599
<v Speaker 6>it happened so fast that I was more concerned about

631
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:49.199
<v Speaker 6>getting out of there than anything. Thinking it was a bear,

632
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:52.079
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna say it was a bear. But it was

633
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:55.360
<v Speaker 6>standing up. It was all black, it was standing up,

634
00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:58.519
<v Speaker 6>it was had it was reaching its arms up into

635
00:37:58.559 --> 00:38:03.559
<v Speaker 6>the crook of a tree, and it had like around

636
00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:08.280
<v Speaker 6>its abdomen. It had gray streaks. So it's it's on

637
00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:12.320
<v Speaker 6>its hind legs reaching up into a tree. And I

638
00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:14.920
<v Speaker 6>just as soon as I saw it, and I realized

639
00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:19.559
<v Speaker 6>it had fur, hair or whatever, and it hadn't seen me.

640
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:25.239
<v Speaker 6>But I started backing up out of there. And as

641
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:27.559
<v Speaker 6>soon as they say don't run right. Well, as soon

642
00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:30.239
<v Speaker 6>as I got out of eyesight of it, I ran.

643
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:34.119
<v Speaker 6>I was like, not today, not today, Satan. So I

644
00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:36.639
<v Speaker 6>was just I ran all the way back to my truck.

645
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:40.639
<v Speaker 6>And you know, I'm not in the greatest athletic shape

646
00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:44.320
<v Speaker 6>like I used to be, so by the time I

647
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:46.920
<v Speaker 6>got back to the truck, I was I was sucking

648
00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:51.519
<v Speaker 6>air pretty bad. So but yeah, that and that happened

649
00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:54.920
<v Speaker 6>not long ago. But but yeah, so that's that's the

650
00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:58.079
<v Speaker 6>bare story. But up here, you know, you always got

651
00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:04.239
<v Speaker 6>to be cognizant of of the wildlife, and specifically the

652
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:06.800
<v Speaker 6>bears and the moose, because a moose will kill you too.

653
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:11.840
<v Speaker 6>You know, a moose will will stomp you. And you know,

654
00:39:11.920 --> 00:39:13.960
<v Speaker 6>years and years ago, there's a there's a video out

655
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:17.480
<v Speaker 6>there of a of a gentleman that's going into the

656
00:39:17.559 --> 00:39:20.320
<v Speaker 6>University of Alaska, Anchorage and apparently he didn't want to

657
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:22.760
<v Speaker 6>want to go to another door. He had to go

658
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:25.119
<v Speaker 6>through this door and there's a big moose standing there

659
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:27.159
<v Speaker 6>with a calf, and he got between the calf and

660
00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:31.199
<v Speaker 6>the and the mother and ended up getting stomped to death.

661
00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:35.639
<v Speaker 6>He was actually killed. And so you got to be

662
00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:38.000
<v Speaker 6>really careful of that wildlife up here. There are two

663
00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:40.280
<v Speaker 6>things that will kill you quickly in Alaska. One is

664
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:42.400
<v Speaker 6>weather and the other is wildlife.

665
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:47.840
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely that goes anywhere, I mean any any willed woods

666
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:51.000
<v Speaker 4>or wilderness or anything. You know, being prepared and having

667
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:54.760
<v Speaker 4>a plan of attack, you know, a cell phone, GPS

668
00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:57.360
<v Speaker 4>track or anything, especially if you're going out alone. A

669
00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:00.559
<v Speaker 4>lot of researchers go out alone because they don't have

670
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:02.400
<v Speaker 4>anyone else to go with them, or they don't want

671
00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:04.079
<v Speaker 4>to go with anybody else. They think that you know,

672
00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:06.239
<v Speaker 4>more interactions are going to happen, and you're going to

673
00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:08.760
<v Speaker 4>get interactions, but they might not be the animal that

674
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:09.280
<v Speaker 4>you're out.

675
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:12.119
<v Speaker 5>There looking for. So always good to be prepared when

676
00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:13.159
<v Speaker 5>you go out in the wilderness.

677
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:16.880
<v Speaker 6>Now in Arkansas and our research area down there, we

678
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:19.760
<v Speaker 6>have other things to contend with. Obviously the snakes that

679
00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:23.159
<v Speaker 6>I mentioned before, rattlesnakes and copperheads, and every time I've

680
00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:25.760
<v Speaker 6>been down there and out with William and Steve and

681
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:29.519
<v Speaker 6>we've encountered poisonous snakes. Finally, you know, William drove me

682
00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:33.000
<v Speaker 6>to the Bass Pro Shop in Shreveport, Louisiana, so I

683
00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:35.239
<v Speaker 6>could get some snake boots, so you know, at least,

684
00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:38.960
<v Speaker 6>you know. And then there's there's the the unseen threat,

685
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:41.480
<v Speaker 6>which are the ticks. There's a lot of ticks out there.

686
00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:43.760
<v Speaker 6>I know, you being in the Midwest, you know exactly

687
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:46.840
<v Speaker 6>what I'm talking about. And so after we're out in

688
00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:50.280
<v Speaker 6>the field down there in Arkansas, you have to go

689
00:40:50.360 --> 00:40:53.840
<v Speaker 6>through the tick ritual, you know, and make sure that

690
00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:56.000
<v Speaker 6>you don't have them on your skin, on your clothes,

691
00:40:56.039 --> 00:40:59.760
<v Speaker 6>because ticks are you know, are are can be just

692
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:03.599
<v Speaker 6>as deadly with lime disease and various other diseases. So

693
00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:05.920
<v Speaker 6>you got to be really careful about the tips. But

694
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:09.519
<v Speaker 6>the big one, the big one down there in Arkansas

695
00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:15.280
<v Speaker 6>are the wild hogs. Oh and some farmers, actually, William

696
00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:17.239
<v Speaker 6>told me, Stephen told me, some farmers told me down

697
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:20.199
<v Speaker 6>there that the wild hogs are angry one hundred percent

698
00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:23.559
<v Speaker 6>of the time. And when I first went down there

699
00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:25.920
<v Speaker 6>to do research with him, I didn't know that there

700
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:29.760
<v Speaker 6>were wild hogs there. And on one of the various trips,

701
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:32.480
<v Speaker 6>we were out in the woods and I had wandered

702
00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:35.320
<v Speaker 6>away from William, who had had the gun. Obviously we

703
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:37.280
<v Speaker 6>always have guns out there for the snakes and stuff.

704
00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:39.960
<v Speaker 6>I had kind of wandered away from him and I

705
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:44.760
<v Speaker 6>was on the phone with another researcher named Robin Haynes

706
00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:47.599
<v Speaker 6>from Paranormal Dash Empowerment dot Com. I was on the

707
00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:51.119
<v Speaker 6>phone with her when all of a sudden, there were

708
00:41:51.159 --> 00:41:56.320
<v Speaker 6>wild hogs coming in the brush. And I did not know.

709
00:41:57.320 --> 00:41:59.199
<v Speaker 6>I actually said, I got a hold on you know,

710
00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:01.280
<v Speaker 6>I shoved the phone my pocket, and I did not

711
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:05.760
<v Speaker 6>know I could climb a tree that fast. But I had,

712
00:42:05.960 --> 00:42:09.880
<v Speaker 6>you know, you know, fear has a way of inspiring you,

713
00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:14.360
<v Speaker 6>and I had I fire poled. I fire poled up

714
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:16.360
<v Speaker 6>the tree. There was nothing for me to grat onto,

715
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:18.320
<v Speaker 6>so I had to fire pole up there until I

716
00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:21.360
<v Speaker 6>could get onto another branch. But that was probably the

717
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:22.400
<v Speaker 6>most terrifying moment.

718
00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:26.519
<v Speaker 4>I I don't know what I'd do with a wild pig.

719
00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:28.119
<v Speaker 4>We don't have any of that up here. We got

720
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:33.760
<v Speaker 4>we got cougars, wolves, coyotes, and black bears and that's

721
00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:35.800
<v Speaker 4>about it. And I mean that's about it. That's enough,

722
00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:38.760
<v Speaker 4>you know. But we went into one area where we've

723
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:42.440
<v Speaker 4>had a lot of bigfoot stuff and there's nice mud

724
00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:44.960
<v Speaker 4>on the ground and the roadway there, and we're walking

725
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:48.400
<v Speaker 4>along looking and all of a sudden we're like, that's

726
00:42:48.519 --> 00:42:51.559
<v Speaker 4>that's a you know, a weird dog track. It's pretty big,

727
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:55.039
<v Speaker 4>you know, and it doesn't have claws, and we're like.

728
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:56.480
<v Speaker 5>That's a kitty.

729
00:42:56.760 --> 00:42:59.440
<v Speaker 4>That is a big kitty, and then next to it

730
00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:03.599
<v Speaker 4>are little bitty kitty prince and we're like, that's a

731
00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:06.599
<v Speaker 4>mother with some babies. And we're not gonna hang around

732
00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:09.639
<v Speaker 4>here anymore. So that's uh, that was the one and

733
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:11.960
<v Speaker 4>only time that I think we've you know, been close

734
00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:15.639
<v Speaker 4>to cougar's and uh not not not something you want

735
00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:17.880
<v Speaker 4>to mess with. So we we left that area quite quick.

736
00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:18.519
<v Speaker 5>You know.

737
00:43:18.559 --> 00:43:20.480
<v Speaker 6>I was I was talking to some hunters from the

738
00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:25.599
<v Speaker 6>Midwest recently, specifically Michigan, and there they were telling me,

739
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:31.519
<v Speaker 6>you know, there's been some mountain lion sightings and uh

740
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:35.800
<v Speaker 6>also panther sightings. You know that that uh not every

741
00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:40.119
<v Speaker 6>state official will admit to. But yeah, I actually talked

742
00:43:40.119 --> 00:43:42.679
<v Speaker 6>to some hunters from the Midwest and we were discussing that.

743
00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:48.719
<v Speaker 4>There was recently a jaguar photographed.

744
00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:51.719
<v Speaker 5>Oklahoma.

745
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:54.519
<v Speaker 4>Maybe I know it was one of the southern states,

746
00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:57.480
<v Speaker 4>but it was well up into the US and but

747
00:43:57.559 --> 00:44:00.000
<v Speaker 4>it was clear as day. A jaguar from from South

748
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:04.159
<v Speaker 4>America is photographed up here running around, so they're they're around.

749
00:44:04.679 --> 00:44:07.880
<v Speaker 6>Oh gosh, jaguars. No thanks, no thanks. I was down

750
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:12.320
<v Speaker 6>in Brazil. And when I was down there in the

751
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:15.599
<v Speaker 6>jungle in Brazil, I I that's all I could think about,

752
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:19.400
<v Speaker 6>was there. And you'll never see them when they come, obviously.

753
00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:24.880
<v Speaker 6>And I know this sounds kind of kind of silly

754
00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:27.320
<v Speaker 6>when it comes to, you know, the United States, but

755
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:29.679
<v Speaker 6>when it comes to if you're in mountain lion territory

756
00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:33.239
<v Speaker 6>or or jaguar territory, you know, do what a lot

757
00:44:33.239 --> 00:44:35.840
<v Speaker 6>of the people do in the tiger areas in India,

758
00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:38.920
<v Speaker 6>and that is they put they take a mask and

759
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:42.280
<v Speaker 6>they put it on the back of their head to

760
00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:44.800
<v Speaker 6>make it appear that there's a face, you know, and

761
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:47.280
<v Speaker 6>that that's the front because as you know, these ambush

762
00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:51.079
<v Speaker 6>predators will come grab from behind, so they try to

763
00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:53.480
<v Speaker 6>throw them off by putting a mess. And I have

764
00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:57.280
<v Speaker 6>no shame about doing that in Mountain Lion territory here

765
00:44:57.280 --> 00:44:59.280
<v Speaker 6>in the United States, let me tell you no shame.

766
00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:02.880
<v Speaker 5>That's that is excellent advice and very true as well.

767
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:07.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's really that's a good idea. We are live

768
00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:10.280
<v Speaker 4>here in studio. I see a lot of comments here.

769
00:45:10.360 --> 00:45:13.760
<v Speaker 4>Djo Thomas is in the comments section. Flat Rockland is

770
00:45:13.800 --> 00:45:16.599
<v Speaker 4>in the comments who will Here's a reminder. You are

771
00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:19.679
<v Speaker 4>scheduled to be on the show next week, so don't

772
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:22.440
<v Speaker 4>forget that. And if you want to hear flat Rockland,

773
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:24.320
<v Speaker 4>he will be on next week. If you guys have

774
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:29.599
<v Speaker 4>any questions or comments for Daniel about Arkansas or Anchorage, Alaska,

775
00:45:29.719 --> 00:45:32.199
<v Speaker 4>or bigfoot or dog man or anything like that, throw

776
00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:34.159
<v Speaker 4>him in the comments section and we will get to

777
00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:37.199
<v Speaker 4>them before we wrap things up on the show today.

778
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:40.840
<v Speaker 4>I want to go back to a couple things about

779
00:45:41.199 --> 00:45:45.119
<v Speaker 4>the bears and stuff up in Alaska here. So first

780
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:48.840
<v Speaker 4>of all, I want to ask you this. Putting yourself

781
00:45:48.920 --> 00:45:52.480
<v Speaker 4>back in that position with the big black bear on

782
00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:56.000
<v Speaker 4>the hiking trail, when this thing is rustling in the

783
00:45:56.280 --> 00:45:59.320
<v Speaker 4>bushes and you're kind of waiting and watching for something

784
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:03.000
<v Speaker 4>to come out, you turn, you walk away, something tells

785
00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:06.199
<v Speaker 4>you to turn around. You turn around. What if that

786
00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:09.599
<v Speaker 4>was a you know, eight foot tall big foot standing there.

787
00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:15.239
<v Speaker 4>Put yourself back in that position, and knowing how you

788
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:18.519
<v Speaker 4>reacted with the bear and how that felt and everything,

789
00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:20.800
<v Speaker 4>what do you think would have happened if that would

790
00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:22.719
<v Speaker 4>have been a bigfoot that crawled out of the bushes.

791
00:46:25.679 --> 00:46:26.239
<v Speaker 5>Well, it.

792
00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:33.039
<v Speaker 6>Would have depended on where I was in this case, Alaska.

793
00:46:33.719 --> 00:46:37.559
<v Speaker 6>So the bigfoot in Alaska have a reputation for being

794
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:40.800
<v Speaker 6>far more on the aggressive side. And there's a couple

795
00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:46.440
<v Speaker 6>theories about that, but the main theory is that the

796
00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:49.840
<v Speaker 6>reason they're seen as a lot more aggressive is because

797
00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:53.719
<v Speaker 6>of their lack of contact with the human population. Obviously

798
00:46:53.800 --> 00:46:57.119
<v Speaker 6>up here we have a lot of area but small

799
00:46:57.199 --> 00:47:02.719
<v Speaker 6>human population. If it had happened up here, if I

800
00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:05.119
<v Speaker 6>would come face to face with a bigfoot up here,

801
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:07.440
<v Speaker 6>I would immediately be a little bit more on the

802
00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:10.840
<v Speaker 6>cautious side, you know, just given the reputation that bigfoot

803
00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:14.840
<v Speaker 6>have in this state. But you know a lot of

804
00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:18.159
<v Speaker 6>people say, you know, they would run, you know, but

805
00:47:18.320 --> 00:47:21.079
<v Speaker 6>as a bigfoot researcher, this is this is what I've

806
00:47:21.079 --> 00:47:23.480
<v Speaker 6>been looking for. This is what I've been waiting for.

807
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:27.639
<v Speaker 6>So I don't see myself running, you know, if it

808
00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:31.920
<v Speaker 6>is displaying aggressiveness and I felt my life was in

809
00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:35.880
<v Speaker 6>danger whole other ballgame, you know, if I would probably

810
00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:38.280
<v Speaker 6>have shot it. You know, if you know, if one

811
00:47:38.280 --> 00:47:39.840
<v Speaker 6>of us is going, it's not going to be me,

812
00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:44.880
<v Speaker 6>you know. So but as a bigfoot researcher, that's the

813
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:48.800
<v Speaker 6>goal is to see that bigfoot. So I'm not going

814
00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:51.559
<v Speaker 6>to run unless I have to run.

815
00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:55.320
<v Speaker 5>Excuse me.

816
00:47:55.480 --> 00:47:58.440
<v Speaker 4>It's always interesting because we get asked all the time

817
00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:00.400
<v Speaker 4>what would you do if you saw one? And so

818
00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:02.880
<v Speaker 4>here's like I said, here's a situation where you were

819
00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:05.119
<v Speaker 4>face to face with this bear, two hundred and fifty

820
00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:08.519
<v Speaker 4>pounds bear standing right in front of you. Now, if

821
00:48:08.519 --> 00:48:11.199
<v Speaker 4>that was you know, the tables are flipped. You know,

822
00:48:11.639 --> 00:48:13.800
<v Speaker 4>you kind of have a really good idea of what

823
00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:16.480
<v Speaker 4>that would feel like, whatever it was, you know. So

824
00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:19.760
<v Speaker 4>it's puts you in a unique position to be able

825
00:48:19.800 --> 00:48:22.360
<v Speaker 4>to answer that question a little more realistically than a

826
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:25.119
<v Speaker 4>lot of people that just have the hypothetical of, you know,

827
00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:28.000
<v Speaker 4>not having that bear encounter or that experience.

828
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:31.400
<v Speaker 6>So that's interesting, Yeah, it has you know, they say

829
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:34.000
<v Speaker 6>experience is the best teacher, but it costs the most.

830
00:48:35.159 --> 00:48:38.800
<v Speaker 6>And that experience with that bear taught me a lot

831
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:42.199
<v Speaker 6>in just those few short minutes, you know, And as

832
00:48:42.280 --> 00:48:45.000
<v Speaker 6>I said, as a result, I'm very very careful about

833
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:48.480
<v Speaker 6>where and when I go, what time of day it is,

834
00:48:48.519 --> 00:48:50.360
<v Speaker 6>you know, because bears are more active in the mornings

835
00:48:50.360 --> 00:48:53.559
<v Speaker 6>and in the evenings, So I try to you know,

836
00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:57.880
<v Speaker 6>get my research time in in midday. You know, it

837
00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:00.880
<v Speaker 6>doesn't eliminate the you know, all of the risk, but

838
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:04.079
<v Speaker 6>at least it decreases it a little bit because you

839
00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:07.880
<v Speaker 6>know that that moment was probably some of the scariest

840
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:08.440
<v Speaker 6>in my life.

841
00:49:09.679 --> 00:49:10.280
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely.

842
00:49:11.239 --> 00:49:13.320
<v Speaker 4>I see I have made a full power over in

843
00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:16.599
<v Speaker 4>the comments. There's two flat rocks and I did not

844
00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:20.480
<v Speaker 4>realize that. So yeah, I got.

845
00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:21.000
<v Speaker 5>You mixed up.

846
00:49:21.079 --> 00:49:25.280
<v Speaker 4>I don't there you go. So yes, flat rock will

847
00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:27.519
<v Speaker 4>be on one of you. Whoever wants to come, there

848
00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:28.159
<v Speaker 4>you go, both of you.

849
00:49:29.079 --> 00:49:32.519
<v Speaker 6>So we have another saying up here in Alaska when

850
00:49:32.559 --> 00:49:35.239
<v Speaker 6>it comes to bears, we say don't get tread weld.

851
00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:39.719
<v Speaker 6>And don't get tread weld is a reference to that

852
00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:44.519
<v Speaker 6>guy who years ago went out to I think it

853
00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:48.840
<v Speaker 6>was Kodiak, and he interacted with the bears every season.

854
00:49:48.920 --> 00:49:53.199
<v Speaker 6>He humanized them to the point of ridiculousness where they

855
00:49:53.599 --> 00:49:56.480
<v Speaker 6>had names, and you know, he was out there thinking

856
00:49:56.480 --> 00:49:59.159
<v Speaker 6>he was protecting the bears, et cetera, et cetera, and

857
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:06.159
<v Speaker 6>and unfortunately he ended up getting getting killed as well,

858
00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:09.119
<v Speaker 6>and even worse, his girlfriend, who didn't even want to

859
00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:12.239
<v Speaker 6>be there, she ended up getting killed as well. And

860
00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:18.400
<v Speaker 6>when the Alaska State Police went out there the bears

861
00:50:18.440 --> 00:50:21.280
<v Speaker 6>actually you know, went at them, you know, so they

862
00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:24.360
<v Speaker 6>had to kill kill a few. But but it was

863
00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:28.719
<v Speaker 6>a horrible tragedy that took place so needless because this guy,

864
00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:32.920
<v Speaker 6>tread Well had humanized these bears to a ridiculous level.

865
00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:36.159
<v Speaker 6>And but we do say that up here occasionally, don't

866
00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:38.800
<v Speaker 6>get tread weld. You know, somebody's going out hiking, Hey,

867
00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:41.639
<v Speaker 6>don't get tread weld. You know, so that's where that

868
00:50:41.760 --> 00:50:43.000
<v Speaker 6>reference comes from.

869
00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:47.760
<v Speaker 4>Interesting, Yeah, you hear that a lot in the Bigfoot

870
00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:51.840
<v Speaker 4>research and stuff as well. You know, people not domesticating

871
00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:54.320
<v Speaker 4>these creatures, but you know, like they give them names,

872
00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:56.440
<v Speaker 4>they go out there, they do the gifting, they have

873
00:50:56.599 --> 00:50:59.400
<v Speaker 4>these personal interactions with them. And that's the same thing

874
00:50:59.440 --> 00:51:02.400
<v Speaker 4>as you know, like what you're talking about any any animal,

875
00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:05.159
<v Speaker 4>any you know, even people. You know, it just takes

876
00:51:05.199 --> 00:51:07.280
<v Speaker 4>one bad day and somebody snaps on you, you know,

877
00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:10.599
<v Speaker 4>but any any animal out in the wild, you can

878
00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:14.320
<v Speaker 4>domesticated all you want. And you know, even you know,

879
00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:17.400
<v Speaker 4>farmers their their livestock. Pigs have been known to eat

880
00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:19.800
<v Speaker 4>people that fall in the pen, the person that feeds them,

881
00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:22.559
<v Speaker 4>you know, so you can never get too comfortable around

882
00:51:22.599 --> 00:51:24.960
<v Speaker 4>these things or you know, lower your guard no matter

883
00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:25.599
<v Speaker 4>what animal.

884
00:51:25.599 --> 00:51:26.119
<v Speaker 5>It is.

885
00:51:29.039 --> 00:51:33.960
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely absolutely and you know, I've actually had tourists ask me,

886
00:51:34.519 --> 00:51:39.000
<v Speaker 6>and I'm not kidding, this actually happens. Is it okay

887
00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:39.880
<v Speaker 6>to pet the moose?

888
00:51:40.719 --> 00:51:40.920
<v Speaker 5>You know?

889
00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:44.719
<v Speaker 6>Because here in Anchorage, the moose will just walk down

890
00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:49.519
<v Speaker 6>the street like you know, down in Lower forty eight

891
00:51:49.519 --> 00:51:52.000
<v Speaker 6>where I've been, like in Ohio and some deer. The

892
00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:54.480
<v Speaker 6>deer down there kind of skittch, they'll run away from

893
00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:56.920
<v Speaker 6>you a lot of times. But the moose will just

894
00:51:57.039 --> 00:52:00.880
<v Speaker 6>walk down the middle of the street like own the joint,

895
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:05.039
<v Speaker 6>you know. And so tourists see this and they think

896
00:52:05.079 --> 00:52:07.920
<v Speaker 6>that that is an indicator that these animals are in

897
00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:11.639
<v Speaker 6>some way or shape or form tame. So they've actually

898
00:52:11.679 --> 00:52:14.639
<v Speaker 6>asked me, he said, okay to pet the moose. I'm like, no,

899
00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:20.159
<v Speaker 6>you know, And we have some moose collisions obviously here

900
00:52:20.440 --> 00:52:26.239
<v Speaker 6>moose vehicle collisions, and a lot of times, I say

901
00:52:26.280 --> 00:52:29.119
<v Speaker 6>a lot of times, several times the drivers have been

902
00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:34.119
<v Speaker 6>killed because these moose weigh over one thousand pounds and

903
00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:38.199
<v Speaker 6>when they get hit, they fall in on the windshield.

904
00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:41.519
<v Speaker 6>So that's one thousand pounds coming at you at a

905
00:52:41.519 --> 00:52:43.960
<v Speaker 6>at a pretty high rate of speed, you know, so

906
00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:48.320
<v Speaker 6>the collisions are often deadly for the driver and the moose.

907
00:52:48.880 --> 00:52:51.840
<v Speaker 6>And unfortunately, and this this is a story that was

908
00:52:51.840 --> 00:52:55.519
<v Speaker 6>told to me by the Anchorage police that they've had

909
00:52:56.239 --> 00:52:58.440
<v Speaker 6>moose collisions in town where the moose will be on

910
00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:01.480
<v Speaker 6>the on the street, you know, still and these people

911
00:53:01.559 --> 00:53:05.400
<v Speaker 6>that that are that are, oh, it's the moose. It's

912
00:53:05.400 --> 00:53:07.960
<v Speaker 6>a it's a precious animal, will try to run over

913
00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:12.360
<v Speaker 6>there and interfere and try to uh, you know, you know,

914
00:53:12.559 --> 00:53:15.880
<v Speaker 6>comfort the moose and it's dying minutes and etcetera. Where

915
00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:19.400
<v Speaker 6>they actually had to threaten people with arrest, you know,

916
00:53:19.559 --> 00:53:23.000
<v Speaker 6>because people humanize these animals so much they want to

917
00:53:23.079 --> 00:53:25.480
<v Speaker 6>come over there and provide comfort to it after it's

918
00:53:25.480 --> 00:53:27.000
<v Speaker 6>been in a collision.

919
00:53:27.400 --> 00:53:27.599
<v Speaker 5>You know.

920
00:53:27.679 --> 00:53:29.679
<v Speaker 6>So it can get a little crazy up here.

921
00:53:29.719 --> 00:53:34.159
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes it's the isolation kicking in up there. People going nuts.

922
00:53:34.679 --> 00:53:38.679
<v Speaker 5>Right. Oh oh man, let's see.

923
00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:43.519
<v Speaker 4>Oh I recently saw online a video you talk about

924
00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:46.679
<v Speaker 4>the moose walking down the streets. There was a clip

925
00:53:46.760 --> 00:53:51.400
<v Speaker 4>released of hippos in Africa and picture you know, your

926
00:53:51.440 --> 00:53:56.960
<v Speaker 4>your typical downtown city buildings, traffic lights, everything, and there

927
00:53:57.039 --> 00:53:59.480
<v Speaker 4>was these two or three hippos I can't remember just

928
00:53:59.599 --> 00:54:02.840
<v Speaker 4>walking down the road and people are videotaping them and

929
00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:06.199
<v Speaker 4>stuff and just walking right down. It's like, hippos are

930
00:54:06.280 --> 00:54:11.000
<v Speaker 4>the most deadliest animal right now, and you know they

931
00:54:11.119 --> 00:54:14.280
<v Speaker 4>are just watering through the city. That was a very

932
00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:18.199
<v Speaker 4>cool video, but not something that you know, moose are

933
00:54:18.239 --> 00:54:21.039
<v Speaker 4>one thing I get, but hippos or another.

934
00:54:21.280 --> 00:54:24.360
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, that's another beast that terrifies me. I had

935
00:54:24.360 --> 00:54:27.119
<v Speaker 6>an opportunity to go to Africa once and I declined

936
00:54:27.159 --> 00:54:30.800
<v Speaker 6>because I'm not ready for Africa, you know, and hippos

937
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:33.159
<v Speaker 6>and the two main reasons I didn't want to or

938
00:54:33.199 --> 00:54:34.880
<v Speaker 6>for actually three main reasons I didn't want to go

939
00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:39.599
<v Speaker 6>to Africa hippos, lions, and the black mamba.

940
00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:41.400
<v Speaker 5>Oh you know, every.

941
00:54:41.239 --> 00:54:43.960
<v Speaker 6>Kind of poisonous snake in the world, you know. So

942
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:46.880
<v Speaker 6>I was like, I think I'll pass on that invitation.

943
00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:48.679
<v Speaker 6>So I didn't end up going.

944
00:54:49.360 --> 00:54:51.880
<v Speaker 4>So you don't plan on going to Australia anytime soon either.

945
00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:56.159
<v Speaker 6>I did go to Australia once, and every time I

946
00:54:56.239 --> 00:55:00.360
<v Speaker 6>stepped on grass, I was like, you know, every time

947
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:03.400
<v Speaker 6>I stepped in any type of vegetation, I'm like, is

948
00:55:03.840 --> 00:55:07.320
<v Speaker 6>there a Sydney Sydney funnel web? Spider in here? Is

949
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:09.039
<v Speaker 6>there a red belly black snake in here? You know?

950
00:55:09.079 --> 00:55:11.039
<v Speaker 6>I was and even going to the beach. You know,

951
00:55:11.119 --> 00:55:13.000
<v Speaker 6>I didn't even want to stick my toe in the water,

952
00:55:13.199 --> 00:55:15.320
<v Speaker 6>you know, because I you know, you get these visions

953
00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:18.159
<v Speaker 6>of a great white shark just you know, be lining

954
00:55:18.239 --> 00:55:21.000
<v Speaker 6>it over to you, or and these man o war

955
00:55:21.159 --> 00:55:24.519
<v Speaker 6>jellyfish and these little tiny jellyfish that can that can

956
00:55:24.760 --> 00:55:26.639
<v Speaker 6>put you out, you know. So I didn't want to

957
00:55:26.639 --> 00:55:28.239
<v Speaker 6>stick my toe in the water. I know that's being

958
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:32.480
<v Speaker 6>overly paranoid, but I thought about those things, you.

959
00:55:32.440 --> 00:55:35.840
<v Speaker 5>Know, absolutely absolutely.

960
00:55:36.760 --> 00:55:40.199
<v Speaker 4>All right, it doesn't look like we have any questions

961
00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:42.159
<v Speaker 4>so far over here, Like I said, we are live.

962
00:55:42.199 --> 00:55:44.800
<v Speaker 4>So if you guys have any questions specifically for our guests,

963
00:55:44.800 --> 00:55:46.960
<v Speaker 4>throw them in there. Maybe put them in all caps

964
00:55:46.960 --> 00:55:49.199
<v Speaker 4>so that we can see them. I want to go

965
00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:53.239
<v Speaker 4>back to the bears again here. So you mentioned like

966
00:55:53.320 --> 00:55:56.400
<v Speaker 4>seeing these the tree breaks and the stick breaks and

967
00:55:56.400 --> 00:56:01.559
<v Speaker 4>stuff like that. And so in reference to what people

968
00:56:01.599 --> 00:56:04.880
<v Speaker 4>are calling these nests or blinds or stuff that bigfoot make,

969
00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:09.800
<v Speaker 4>what have you seen being so surrounded by bears and

970
00:56:09.800 --> 00:56:13.159
<v Speaker 4>stuff up there? Do you find bear nests? Do you

971
00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:15.880
<v Speaker 4>find bear blinds or anything? Like that, because we know

972
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:18.599
<v Speaker 4>that they make their own versions of nests and stuff

973
00:56:18.599 --> 00:56:22.119
<v Speaker 4>where they sleep. What are you seeing there and how

974
00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:24.599
<v Speaker 4>does that compare or do you not find any of

975
00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:25.039
<v Speaker 4>that either?

976
00:56:27.360 --> 00:56:32.960
<v Speaker 6>With the bears, what I find is signs of the

977
00:56:33.159 --> 00:56:36.880
<v Speaker 6>of them rooting around, you know, kind of the claw

978
00:56:37.360 --> 00:56:40.199
<v Speaker 6>the claw marks, scratching and things like that and so

979
00:56:40.639 --> 00:56:43.119
<v Speaker 6>and that's another thing that I look for with the

980
00:56:43.320 --> 00:56:46.079
<v Speaker 6>with the tree breaks. You know, if if a bear

981
00:56:46.159 --> 00:56:49.960
<v Speaker 6>has been has been around that area, I'm looking for

982
00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:54.280
<v Speaker 6>the claw marks and you know, indicators that would point

983
00:56:54.320 --> 00:56:57.760
<v Speaker 6>to bear activity. You know, I'm looking around on the

984
00:56:57.760 --> 00:57:03.920
<v Speaker 6>ground and and stuff. And sometimes especially with the moose.

985
00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:07.400
<v Speaker 6>You know, the moose are so massive. If if there's

986
00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:10.599
<v Speaker 6>been a moose laying there, when they get up and leave,

987
00:57:10.679 --> 00:57:14.239
<v Speaker 6>that the whole ground is flattened. You know, the whole

988
00:57:14.239 --> 00:57:17.119
<v Speaker 6>ground is flattened there. And I know you guys in

989
00:57:17.159 --> 00:57:19.159
<v Speaker 6>the Midwest see it with the with the deer that

990
00:57:19.199 --> 00:57:24.159
<v Speaker 6>have bedded down. So when it comes to bears, I'm

991
00:57:24.199 --> 00:57:27.760
<v Speaker 6>looking for claw marks. I'm looking for scratch marks on

992
00:57:28.039 --> 00:57:33.320
<v Speaker 6>the tree or around the tree someplace. And uh and

993
00:57:33.400 --> 00:57:36.920
<v Speaker 6>I haven't you know, with so many bears in the

994
00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:39.840
<v Speaker 6>state of Alaska. You would think that you would come

995
00:57:39.880 --> 00:57:42.719
<v Speaker 6>across maybe a dead bear every now and then, or

996
00:57:43.079 --> 00:57:47.960
<v Speaker 6>you see one by the river, or come across some bones,

997
00:57:48.480 --> 00:57:51.880
<v Speaker 6>you know, But I have never in all the times

998
00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:54.199
<v Speaker 6>I've been in the in the woods here and on

999
00:57:54.280 --> 00:57:58.679
<v Speaker 6>the trails, I have never seen a bear bone or

1000
00:57:58.760 --> 00:58:01.480
<v Speaker 6>a dead bear or anything like that. You know, people

1001
00:58:01.519 --> 00:58:03.800
<v Speaker 6>outside the Bigfoot community are saying, well, why didn't you

1002
00:58:03.920 --> 00:58:06.880
<v Speaker 6>find any bones? You know, why don't you find this? Well,

1003
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:09.440
<v Speaker 6>you know what, you can't even find bears, I mean

1004
00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:14.320
<v Speaker 6>finding one of those is rare too, you know. So yeah,

1005
00:58:14.320 --> 00:58:16.480
<v Speaker 6>But when it comes to bears and the tree breaks

1006
00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:18.920
<v Speaker 6>and the nests and things like that, you know, I

1007
00:58:19.000 --> 00:58:21.159
<v Speaker 6>look for the signs that they've been in the area,

1008
00:58:21.320 --> 00:58:23.920
<v Speaker 6>and the main one is that is the claw marks

1009
00:58:23.920 --> 00:58:26.440
<v Speaker 6>of them scratching around on the in the ground and

1010
00:58:26.519 --> 00:58:30.639
<v Speaker 6>on the trees. And if I if I see that sign,

1011
00:58:31.239 --> 00:58:36.119
<v Speaker 6>I pretty much generally dismiss it as as being encrypted related.

1012
00:58:36.639 --> 00:58:40.480
<v Speaker 6>But it's those tree breaks that again, the standalone breaks

1013
00:58:40.480 --> 00:58:44.119
<v Speaker 6>that you find, and the tree manipulations that the arches,

1014
00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:50.960
<v Speaker 6>you know, the tree manipulations, those standalone breaks. If I

1015
00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:56.199
<v Speaker 6>don't see any signs of bear activity and based on

1016
00:58:56.519 --> 00:58:59.760
<v Speaker 6>my criteria where it is, you know, could it be

1017
00:58:59.760 --> 00:59:04.840
<v Speaker 6>weather related, could there be human traffic through here? You know,

1018
00:59:06.159 --> 00:59:13.119
<v Speaker 6>if none of it, none of it, excuse me, indicates

1019
00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:17.360
<v Speaker 6>any of that, then I generally can say more likely

1020
00:59:17.400 --> 00:59:21.280
<v Speaker 6>than not, this was caused by a cryptid. You know,

1021
00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:23.880
<v Speaker 6>But you got to be really careful, and like I said,

1022
00:59:23.880 --> 00:59:26.440
<v Speaker 6>you got to be your first skeptic. All good researchers

1023
00:59:26.639 --> 00:59:31.639
<v Speaker 6>are their first skeptic. So, and the treatment manipulations are

1024
00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:35.760
<v Speaker 6>a little bit easier because the tree manipulations you often

1025
00:59:35.800 --> 00:59:43.000
<v Speaker 6>find the weaving going on multiple branches, weaving archways that

1026
00:59:43.119 --> 00:59:47.400
<v Speaker 6>could not have been caused by natural phenomenon. So those

1027
00:59:47.440 --> 00:59:51.400
<v Speaker 6>are a little bit easier, I think, absolutely.

1028
00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:55.760
<v Speaker 4>But you don't you don't find, yeah, you don't find

1029
00:59:55.880 --> 00:59:58.679
<v Speaker 4>like any kind of bear nests or not nests. But

1030
00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:00.519
<v Speaker 4>you know, like I said, where they're laying or anything

1031
01:00:00.599 --> 01:00:07.000
<v Speaker 4>like that, nothing that shows similarities to to these other things.

1032
01:00:07.519 --> 01:00:11.119
<v Speaker 6>Like the most of most of the time I'm finding

1033
01:00:11.800 --> 01:00:13.880
<v Speaker 6>what I believe are are moose and it could have

1034
01:00:13.960 --> 01:00:16.639
<v Speaker 6>been caused by bears to the where the ground has

1035
01:00:16.679 --> 01:00:21.960
<v Speaker 6>been flattened. And again it all depends on the area.

1036
01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:24.639
<v Speaker 6>But the bears that I've seen like, I've never seen

1037
01:00:24.679 --> 01:00:28.920
<v Speaker 6>a bear just laying down. Like all the bears I've

1038
01:00:28.960 --> 01:00:32.159
<v Speaker 6>ever seen in Alaska have been on the move, you know,

1039
01:00:32.280 --> 01:00:34.480
<v Speaker 6>be it near the rivers where the salminar, be it

1040
01:00:34.559 --> 01:00:37.679
<v Speaker 6>going across the landscape. Sometimes you can look up on

1041
01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:39.760
<v Speaker 6>the mountains. You can actually look up on the mountains

1042
01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:43.760
<v Speaker 6>and see them going across you know, the mountain vegetation,

1043
01:00:44.639 --> 01:00:50.079
<v Speaker 6>you know. But I've never seen a bear laying down anywhere. Obviously,

1044
01:00:50.239 --> 01:00:53.760
<v Speaker 6>obviously they do, but but I've just never seen it.

1045
01:00:54.079 --> 01:01:00.400
<v Speaker 6>And the land indentations, the vegetation indentations that I come across,

1046
01:01:01.000 --> 01:01:05.079
<v Speaker 6>or mostly I would say caused by moose, you know.

1047
01:01:05.159 --> 01:01:08.119
<v Speaker 6>And another thing bears have, and a lot of people

1048
01:01:08.159 --> 01:01:12.760
<v Speaker 6>will tell you this is they stink. You know, they

1049
01:01:12.800 --> 01:01:16.400
<v Speaker 6>smell bad and so especially in the summer. So if

1050
01:01:16.400 --> 01:01:20.599
<v Speaker 6>there's a bear around, you know, you might you might

1051
01:01:21.480 --> 01:01:26.320
<v Speaker 6>catch a whiff of them. But they're like silent stalkers.

1052
01:01:26.519 --> 01:01:31.639
<v Speaker 6>I mean, they're so big, so massive, but you may

1053
01:01:31.639 --> 01:01:35.000
<v Speaker 6>not even realize that they're only twenty five feet away

1054
01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:38.280
<v Speaker 6>from you in the brush. And I'd say that when

1055
01:01:38.280 --> 01:01:41.480
<v Speaker 6>I'm out doing research, the scariest moments I have are

1056
01:01:41.519 --> 01:01:45.239
<v Speaker 6>going through brush where it's so tall that I can't see,

1057
01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:48.239
<v Speaker 6>you know. And I've heard a lot of stories about

1058
01:01:48.239 --> 01:01:50.320
<v Speaker 6>people going through there and all of a sudden one

1059
01:01:50.360 --> 01:01:53.679
<v Speaker 6>will stand up, you know, and it's hind legs and

1060
01:01:53.760 --> 01:01:58.119
<v Speaker 6>sniff the air, and but you never know what could

1061
01:01:58.159 --> 01:01:59.599
<v Speaker 6>be waiting around that next bend.

1062
01:02:02.079 --> 01:02:04.400
<v Speaker 4>When you you talk about the smell of the bears,

1063
01:02:04.480 --> 01:02:07.000
<v Speaker 4>is that kind of similar to what people are describing

1064
01:02:07.000 --> 01:02:10.920
<v Speaker 4>with like the ransom meat garbage kind of smell or

1065
01:02:11.000 --> 01:02:12.840
<v Speaker 4>is that something different? What do you what a bears

1066
01:02:12.880 --> 01:02:16.880
<v Speaker 4>smell like when you encounter them.

1067
01:02:17.000 --> 01:02:20.480
<v Speaker 6>Well, I've only smelled it really once, and but but

1068
01:02:20.599 --> 01:02:23.840
<v Speaker 6>the stories that other people tell me, hunters and hikers,

1069
01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:27.480
<v Speaker 6>other hikers, I've only smelled it once. And when I

1070
01:02:27.679 --> 01:02:34.159
<v Speaker 6>smelled it, it was like like a mixture of of

1071
01:02:35.719 --> 01:02:40.480
<v Speaker 6>old dog and and and poop, you know. It was,

1072
01:02:41.320 --> 01:02:45.920
<v Speaker 6>and it's musky, musky, old dog and poop, you know,

1073
01:02:46.039 --> 01:02:49.199
<v Speaker 6>and and it was it was pretty rancid. But but

1074
01:02:49.519 --> 01:02:52.679
<v Speaker 6>you know a lot of people describe when they have

1075
01:02:52.800 --> 01:02:56.320
<v Speaker 6>a big foot encounter or the near one, this horrible,

1076
01:02:56.360 --> 01:03:03.159
<v Speaker 6>horrible stench that bigfoot emit, you know it. It definitely

1077
01:03:03.280 --> 01:03:07.880
<v Speaker 6>wasn't that level, but it was bad fair enough.

1078
01:03:08.320 --> 01:03:09.920
<v Speaker 4>That's what I was wondering, like it could be like

1079
01:03:10.000 --> 01:03:13.679
<v Speaker 4>a misidentification of bears or something there. But that property

1080
01:03:13.679 --> 01:03:16.239
<v Speaker 4>in Upper Michigan where I was talking about earlier, my

1081
01:03:16.320 --> 01:03:20.800
<v Speaker 4>mom would have catch whiffs of I can't remember what

1082
01:03:21.239 --> 01:03:27.840
<v Speaker 4>they're called, but it's a sweet cigar. And she would

1083
01:03:27.880 --> 01:03:32.440
<v Speaker 4>smell this cigar kind of sweet smell around the bears.

1084
01:03:32.920 --> 01:03:35.840
<v Speaker 4>So it wasn't necessarily a bad smell. But every time

1085
01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:38.239
<v Speaker 4>you'd you'd run into an area where something had been

1086
01:03:38.480 --> 01:03:40.559
<v Speaker 4>or you could see evidence and stuff, she would get

1087
01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:42.719
<v Speaker 4>this this smell of that, And I did. I noticed

1088
01:03:42.719 --> 01:03:44.440
<v Speaker 4>it like once or twice, but she would she would

1089
01:03:44.440 --> 01:03:46.480
<v Speaker 4>point it out quite a bit up there. But yeah,

1090
01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:48.360
<v Speaker 4>thank you Lee swiss or sweets.

1091
01:03:48.559 --> 01:03:48.960
<v Speaker 5>That's it.

1092
01:03:50.280 --> 01:03:55.000
<v Speaker 4>The cigars that her brothers and stuff her father used

1093
01:03:55.039 --> 01:03:57.320
<v Speaker 4>to smoke and stuff, and so she'd she knew the

1094
01:03:57.320 --> 01:03:57.880
<v Speaker 4>smell of that.

1095
01:03:57.920 --> 01:04:01.360
<v Speaker 6>But interesting they had they had this play called things

1096
01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:05.159
<v Speaker 6>called the Alaska Wildlife Park. It's outside of Anchorage always

1097
01:04:05.159 --> 01:04:09.519
<v Speaker 6>and they have some bears there and and that are

1098
01:04:09.559 --> 01:04:14.280
<v Speaker 6>in captivity. And those bears will walk up, you know,

1099
01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:16.719
<v Speaker 6>near the fence line, you know, not I mean just

1100
01:04:16.760 --> 01:04:20.000
<v Speaker 6>a few feet away from you. And and I've smelled

1101
01:04:20.000 --> 01:04:23.920
<v Speaker 6>it from them not as bad. But I smelled, you know,

1102
01:04:25.599 --> 01:04:32.000
<v Speaker 6>just slight sense from those bears, But it wasn't as

1103
01:04:32.039 --> 01:04:34.199
<v Speaker 6>bad as the one I smelled actually in the field.

1104
01:04:34.679 --> 01:04:36.280
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, it's pretty bad.

1105
01:04:37.400 --> 01:04:40.800
<v Speaker 4>Well, on that note, did you notice any smell when

1106
01:04:40.840 --> 01:04:43.559
<v Speaker 4>you encountered the two hundred and fifty pounds one right

1107
01:04:43.559 --> 01:04:44.199
<v Speaker 4>face to face?

1108
01:04:45.639 --> 01:04:51.480
<v Speaker 6>I didn't. I didn't smell anything. I it was so

1109
01:04:51.599 --> 01:04:55.159
<v Speaker 6>it's such a bizarre moment because we were literally at

1110
01:04:55.199 --> 01:04:58.280
<v Speaker 6>a dead stare with each other. I mean, its eyes

1111
01:04:58.320 --> 01:05:02.119
<v Speaker 6>were right on mine, and the thing I remember most

1112
01:05:02.119 --> 01:05:07.360
<v Speaker 6>about its face was the brown, the light brown outline

1113
01:05:08.360 --> 01:05:11.239
<v Speaker 6>of its uh of its around its eyes and stuff.

1114
01:05:11.280 --> 01:05:14.119
<v Speaker 6>That's what I remember most about it. But I didn't

1115
01:05:14.119 --> 01:05:18.039
<v Speaker 6>smell anything. Surprisingly, if I smelled something, it probably would

1116
01:05:18.079 --> 01:05:22.360
<v Speaker 6>have been coming from me. No.

1117
01:05:22.519 --> 01:05:24.719
<v Speaker 4>I keep going back to that because, like I said,

1118
01:05:24.760 --> 01:05:27.920
<v Speaker 4>it's such a unique encounter that you can compare it

1119
01:05:27.960 --> 01:05:31.440
<v Speaker 4>one hundred percent to a Bigfoot sighting and use it

1120
01:05:31.159 --> 01:05:33.960
<v Speaker 4>to to, you know, take that note of well, what

1121
01:05:34.039 --> 01:05:36.559
<v Speaker 4>did you experience? Did you smell anything in the you know,

1122
01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:38.760
<v Speaker 4>did you have these you know, all these questions that

1123
01:05:38.800 --> 01:05:41.440
<v Speaker 4>we asked the witnesses of Bigfoot, You can ask yourself

1124
01:05:41.480 --> 01:05:44.880
<v Speaker 4>and go, well, you're you're in this flight or flight

1125
01:05:45.280 --> 01:05:48.599
<v Speaker 4>fight or flight moment of you know, I'm fighting for

1126
01:05:48.679 --> 01:05:50.639
<v Speaker 4>my life here, whether you're fighting or not, you know,

1127
01:05:50.880 --> 01:05:54.039
<v Speaker 4>and you have to take that into consideration of what

1128
01:05:54.239 --> 01:05:56.199
<v Speaker 4>was going through your mind. And you know, maybe it

1129
01:05:56.239 --> 01:05:59.280
<v Speaker 4>did smell and you just totally wasn't anything you were

1130
01:05:59.280 --> 01:06:01.760
<v Speaker 4>interested in thinking about and just blocked it out.

1131
01:06:02.239 --> 01:06:02.400
<v Speaker 5>You know.

1132
01:06:02.440 --> 01:06:06.159
<v Speaker 4>It's it's it's a really cool perception to be able

1133
01:06:06.199 --> 01:06:08.079
<v Speaker 4>to have, you know, as scary as it probably was.

1134
01:06:09.599 --> 01:06:11.079
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, a lot of people ask me, well, did you

1135
01:06:11.119 --> 01:06:14.280
<v Speaker 6>have bear spray? And uh, you know, they could get

1136
01:06:14.320 --> 01:06:18.400
<v Speaker 6>the you know, the pepper spray basically is for those

1137
01:06:18.440 --> 01:06:20.880
<v Speaker 6>who were not familiar with a big, huge cans of

1138
01:06:20.920 --> 01:06:26.639
<v Speaker 6>pepper spray, And uh, I actually didn't have any that day.

1139
01:06:26.679 --> 01:06:30.480
<v Speaker 6>I don't carry it very often. One time I had

1140
01:06:30.519 --> 01:06:33.559
<v Speaker 6>it sitting in the front passenger seat in my vehicle

1141
01:06:33.679 --> 01:06:36.920
<v Speaker 6>and I had to stop abruptly and it rolled off

1142
01:06:37.000 --> 01:06:39.719
<v Speaker 6>the passenger seat and hit the floor and when it

1143
01:06:39.800 --> 01:06:44.239
<v Speaker 6>hit the floor, it went off inside the car, you know,

1144
01:06:44.360 --> 01:06:47.440
<v Speaker 6>And uh, I haven't forgotten that moment, and uh it

1145
01:06:47.519 --> 01:06:51.719
<v Speaker 6>was pretty bad, but but I prefer you know, uh,

1146
01:06:51.760 --> 01:06:53.880
<v Speaker 6>you know what like Han Solo says, you know, in

1147
01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:56.440
<v Speaker 6>Star Wars, nothing beats a good blaster at your side.

1148
01:06:57.280 --> 01:06:59.760
<v Speaker 6>You know, I prefer that route more than the bear

1149
01:06:59.840 --> 01:07:05.840
<v Speaker 6>spy myself. I had. I had alternated also, sorry to interrupt,

1150
01:07:06.039 --> 01:07:11.800
<v Speaker 6>I had alternated specifically for this reason. I had alternated

1151
01:07:11.840 --> 01:07:16.480
<v Speaker 6>the shells in the gun. Like I had shot slug

1152
01:07:16.719 --> 01:07:20.559
<v Speaker 6>shot slug shot sug. I had alternated the shells specifically

1153
01:07:20.800 --> 01:07:22.199
<v Speaker 6>for a bear encounter.

1154
01:07:23.880 --> 01:07:24.360
<v Speaker 5>Interesting.

1155
01:07:25.000 --> 01:07:27.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I won't get into the stories now take up

1156
01:07:27.000 --> 01:07:29.840
<v Speaker 4>too much time, but I can tell you three stories

1157
01:07:30.159 --> 01:07:33.960
<v Speaker 4>where bear spray did not go well for the people

1158
01:07:34.480 --> 01:07:36.880
<v Speaker 4>and no bear around, just in general of having a

1159
01:07:36.920 --> 01:07:39.960
<v Speaker 4>can of bear spray with them. And I cannot tell

1160
01:07:40.000 --> 01:07:42.719
<v Speaker 4>you any stories that I've heard where somebody said I

1161
01:07:42.760 --> 01:07:44.880
<v Speaker 4>was in the woods used bear spray and it saved

1162
01:07:44.880 --> 01:07:48.639
<v Speaker 4>my life. So I guess it's a it's a toss

1163
01:07:48.719 --> 01:07:51.800
<v Speaker 4>up of being prepared and having accidents.

1164
01:07:51.880 --> 01:07:56.199
<v Speaker 5>So I've heard more accidents. Good.

1165
01:07:56.800 --> 01:07:59.880
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I got a good whiff of it in the car,

1166
01:08:00.280 --> 01:08:04.320
<v Speaker 6>and yeah it was it was pretty bad, pretty bad, absolutely,

1167
01:08:05.119 --> 01:08:05.480
<v Speaker 6>all right?

1168
01:08:05.480 --> 01:08:06.920

1169
01:08:06.920 --> 01:08:08.239

<v Speaker 4>We do have the picture still, if you'd like to

1172
01:08:11.599 --> 01:08:13.920
<v Speaker 4>talk about that, I'd love to do that.

1173
01:08:13.840 --> 01:08:14.599
<v Speaker 5>Before we wrap up.

1174
01:08:14.639 --> 01:08:15.679
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely, go for it.

01:08:23.119 --> 01:08:24.880
<v Speaker 6>I'll go ahead and introduce it first.

1178
01:08:24.720 --> 01:08:25.439

<v Speaker 4>So tell us you sent me this awesome picture here,

1180
01:08:28.039 --> 01:08:30.960
<v Speaker 4>and it's got some cool new stuff going on with

1181

<v Speaker 4>it and exciting news, and so tell us tell us

1182

<v Speaker 4>all about it.

1183

<v Speaker 6>So the picture that you're about to see, you're gonna

1184
01:08:37.800 --> 01:08:42.680
<v Speaker 6>see two pictures, and one is from a distance and

1185
01:08:42.720 --> 01:08:47.760
<v Speaker 6>the other one is close up and well relatively close up.

1186
01:08:48.720 --> 01:08:53.479
<v Speaker 6>And this picture was taken in our research area in

1187
01:08:53.640 --> 01:08:57.199
<v Speaker 6>Arkansas that we call Ground Zero, myself, William Lunsford, and

1188
01:08:57.239 --> 01:09:01.600
<v Speaker 6>Stephen Hill, and we had been out in the field

1189
01:09:02.279 --> 01:09:07.520
<v Speaker 6>checking the game cameras and doing our research and we

1190
01:09:07.520 --> 01:09:09.880
<v Speaker 6>were actually on our way out and you know, you

1191
01:09:09.920 --> 01:09:13.000
<v Speaker 6>hear a lot of bigfoot researchers talk about that sensation

1192
01:09:13.119 --> 01:09:17.159
<v Speaker 6>of feeling like you're being watched, and on this particular day,

1193
01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:20.720
<v Speaker 6>that's what we were feeling. And we had already found

1194
01:09:20.800 --> 01:09:25.399
<v Speaker 6>some tracks in the area, excusing very large tracks in

1195
01:09:25.439 --> 01:09:28.560
<v Speaker 6>the area. So as we're coming out of the woodline.

1196
01:09:29.319 --> 01:09:31.239
<v Speaker 6>You know, we were like, you know what if something

1197
01:09:31.319 --> 01:09:35.199
<v Speaker 6>is watching us, it's watching us from the tree line,

1198
01:09:35.359 --> 01:09:39.520
<v Speaker 6>And so I immediately turned around and in rapid succession

1199
01:09:40.159 --> 01:09:43.840
<v Speaker 6>started taking grid shots of the tree line, just boom

1200
01:09:43.840 --> 01:09:46.279
<v Speaker 6>boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom, all the

1201
01:09:46.319 --> 01:09:50.199
<v Speaker 6>way down in quick, rapid succession. And this is as

1202
01:09:50.239 --> 01:09:53.880
<v Speaker 6>we're still making our way up towards the old logging

1203
01:09:53.960 --> 01:09:56.439
<v Speaker 6>road that's in that area. So when we got up

1204
01:09:56.479 --> 01:10:01.239
<v Speaker 6>to the logging road, we started exact ammining the photographs

1205
01:10:01.840 --> 01:10:05.640
<v Speaker 6>and that's when in this particular photograph that you're going

1206
01:10:05.720 --> 01:10:10.079
<v Speaker 6>to see, we saw what appeared to be a face

1207
01:10:11.000 --> 01:10:18.960
<v Speaker 6>looking back at us. So this is the distance one

1208
01:10:19.319 --> 01:10:23.880
<v Speaker 6>and again this was one of many that was taken

1209
01:10:23.920 --> 01:10:27.119
<v Speaker 6>in rapid succession in our research area and ground zero.

1210
01:10:28.119 --> 01:10:31.960
<v Speaker 6>And the area of focus that we want to look

1211
01:10:32.039 --> 01:10:37.119
<v Speaker 6>at is between those two white branches that are down there.

1212
01:10:37.680 --> 01:10:42.720
<v Speaker 5>And is not it where am I oh down here? Yep?

1213
01:10:42.800 --> 01:10:47.600
<v Speaker 6>Down there? Yeah, Okay, between those two white branches there

1214
01:10:48.119 --> 01:10:51.479
<v Speaker 6>near the upper part of it. What you're going to see,

1215
01:10:51.880 --> 01:10:56.560
<v Speaker 6>or what we believe is there is the face of

1216
01:10:58.000 --> 01:11:00.880
<v Speaker 6>a sasquatch that's what I belie that we were looking

1217
01:11:00.920 --> 01:11:04.880
<v Speaker 6>at as it is watching us from the tree line. Now,

1218
01:11:05.920 --> 01:11:08.840
<v Speaker 6>good researchers, like we've said before, good researchers, you always

1219
01:11:08.840 --> 01:11:11.199
<v Speaker 6>have to be your first skeptic. So this is what

1220
01:11:11.239 --> 01:11:15.680
<v Speaker 6>we did. So when we saw that picture as we're

1221
01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:17.760
<v Speaker 6>up there on the logging road, we actually sent it

1222
01:11:17.760 --> 01:11:21.039
<v Speaker 6>to a professional photographer up in Anchorage, Alaska, from a

1223
01:11:21.039 --> 01:11:24.840
<v Speaker 6>company called ACE forty nine Photography. We sent that picture

1224
01:11:24.920 --> 01:11:28.880
<v Speaker 6>up there to have them examine it, and they did

1225
01:11:28.920 --> 01:11:32.479
<v Speaker 6>all their filters and all that stuff that we don't

1226
01:11:32.680 --> 01:11:35.359
<v Speaker 6>know how to do because I'm not much of a techie,

1227
01:11:35.520 --> 01:11:37.680
<v Speaker 6>and so they did their filters and they said, whatever

1228
01:11:37.840 --> 01:11:42.199
<v Speaker 6>is there is still there. So we had them look

1229
01:11:42.239 --> 01:11:44.880
<v Speaker 6>at it, and the next day I had to go

1230
01:11:44.920 --> 01:11:48.199
<v Speaker 6>back to Alaska. So the next day my partners William

1231
01:11:48.239 --> 01:11:50.600
<v Speaker 6>Lunsford and Stephen Hill actually had to go back out

1232
01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:53.680
<v Speaker 6>to the area and go back there and make sure

1233
01:11:53.720 --> 01:11:56.319
<v Speaker 6>that it wasn't a tree or there was make sure

1234
01:11:56.319 --> 01:11:59.199
<v Speaker 6>there was no structure back there, because you know, another

1235
01:11:59.439 --> 01:12:05.439
<v Speaker 6>thing about the Arkansas areas and and other areas that

1236
01:12:05.479 --> 01:12:08.520
<v Speaker 6>we go to is there are old abandoned structures back

1237
01:12:08.600 --> 01:12:12.600
<v Speaker 6>there in the woods, you know, because a lot of

1238
01:12:12.600 --> 01:12:16.600
<v Speaker 6>these areas were inhabited areas you know that that time

1239
01:12:16.640 --> 01:12:20.760
<v Speaker 6>has forgotten, you know, so it's not uncommon to be

1240
01:12:20.760 --> 01:12:22.479
<v Speaker 6>out in the middle of the woods there and come

1241
01:12:22.520 --> 01:12:26.640
<v Speaker 6>across some type of former structure, you know. So my

1242
01:12:26.680 --> 01:12:29.560
<v Speaker 6>partners had to actually go back, go back to the trees,

1243
01:12:29.640 --> 01:12:31.479
<v Speaker 6>go back there and make sure there was no big

1244
01:12:31.560 --> 01:12:33.960
<v Speaker 6>chain and there really aren't big trees in that area.

1245
01:12:34.479 --> 01:12:36.600
<v Speaker 6>Make sure that there was no big trees in the area,

1246
01:12:36.840 --> 01:12:39.960
<v Speaker 6>just to double check again, because you always have to

1247
01:12:40.000 --> 01:12:42.600
<v Speaker 6>be your first skeptic and always have to rule out

1248
01:12:43.119 --> 01:12:48.279
<v Speaker 6>all these different things. So yeah, that's that's the story

1249
01:12:48.359 --> 01:12:51.680
<v Speaker 6>of that picture. And it was a really good catching.

1250
01:12:51.960 --> 01:12:57.000
<v Speaker 6>Near that area, we found very large tracks, so you know,

1251
01:12:57.159 --> 01:13:01.439
<v Speaker 6>putting the puzzle pieces together obvious. So it's open to interpretation,

1252
01:13:01.840 --> 01:13:03.800
<v Speaker 6>you know. And one of the things that we say

1253
01:13:03.800 --> 01:13:08.319
<v Speaker 6>in bigfoot research is never speaking absolutes, because things that

1254
01:13:08.359 --> 01:13:11.920
<v Speaker 6>you might think are true today, you might uncover new

1255
01:13:11.960 --> 01:13:15.359
<v Speaker 6>evidence tomorrow that completely, you know, blows that one out

1256
01:13:15.399 --> 01:13:17.800
<v Speaker 6>of the water. So never speaking absolutes. But what we

1257
01:13:17.880 --> 01:13:21.279
<v Speaker 6>think we are looking at, in our opinion, is the

1258
01:13:21.319 --> 01:13:23.760
<v Speaker 6>actual face of a sasquatch that was watching us from

1259
01:13:23.760 --> 01:13:30.239
<v Speaker 6>the tree line, and this picture has garnered some attention

1260
01:13:30.359 --> 01:13:33.239
<v Speaker 6>as of late, and we knew this picture was good.

1261
01:13:33.279 --> 01:13:35.239
<v Speaker 6>We knew it was good as soon as we saw it.

1262
01:13:35.399 --> 01:13:37.319
<v Speaker 6>You know, we got something special here. So we actually

1263
01:13:37.359 --> 01:13:43.439
<v Speaker 6>had a copyrighted pretty quickly and eventually I don't know

1264
01:13:43.479 --> 01:13:45.079
<v Speaker 6>how it got noticed. I think it was on our

1265
01:13:45.119 --> 01:13:50.640
<v Speaker 6>TikTok channel, but the Discovery channel took an interest in it.

1266
01:13:51.319 --> 01:13:54.479
<v Speaker 6>And so one of their TV shows that's on Discovery

1267
01:13:54.479 --> 01:13:59.079
<v Speaker 6>and Disney Plus called Paranormal Caught on Camera has taken

1268
01:13:59.119 --> 01:14:02.560
<v Speaker 6>an interest in this, and we just completed some interviews

1269
01:14:03.239 --> 01:14:07.000
<v Speaker 6>with them recently and when they saw this picture, they

1270
01:14:07.000 --> 01:14:09.479
<v Speaker 6>wanted to see more. So they actually asked us for

1271
01:14:09.520 --> 01:14:12.880
<v Speaker 6>some more pictures from our area as well. And I

1272
01:14:12.920 --> 01:14:15.680
<v Speaker 6>will say this about them, this kind of sidebar, but

1273
01:14:15.720 --> 01:14:18.840
<v Speaker 6>I will say this about them. You know, when you're

1274
01:14:18.840 --> 01:14:22.399
<v Speaker 6>in this field, you're used to people making fun of you.

1275
01:14:22.399 --> 01:14:26.840
<v Speaker 6>You're used to people ridiculing you and giving you a

1276
01:14:26.840 --> 01:14:29.479
<v Speaker 6>little bit of heat, whether in jest or for real.

1277
01:14:30.680 --> 01:14:33.039
<v Speaker 6>But I have to say these, these people that we

1278
01:14:33.159 --> 01:14:39.119
<v Speaker 6>dealt with with this TV show were absolutely wonderful. They

1279
01:14:39.119 --> 01:14:41.920
<v Speaker 6>were absolutely very nice at every step of the way.

1280
01:14:42.039 --> 01:14:44.640
<v Speaker 6>And I just want to point that out that that

1281
01:14:44.840 --> 01:14:49.159
<v Speaker 6>they treated us very well. So this picture is sometimes

1282
01:14:49.199 --> 01:14:53.840
<v Speaker 6>called the gorilla picture, and that term actually came from

1283
01:14:53.880 --> 01:14:56.880
<v Speaker 6>one of my bosses at work who said, Daniel, what

1284
01:14:56.920 --> 01:14:58.720
<v Speaker 6>are you taking a picture of a gorilla pooping in

1285
01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:03.159
<v Speaker 6>the woods for? So that's that's where that term came from.

1286
01:15:03.239 --> 01:15:06.520
<v Speaker 6>So it's kind of stuck. But yeah, what we believe

1287
01:15:07.039 --> 01:15:09.760
<v Speaker 6>we're seeing is the actual face of a sasquatch. And

1288
01:15:09.800 --> 01:15:12.479
<v Speaker 6>a lot of people, you know, online have examined this

1289
01:15:12.600 --> 01:15:17.840
<v Speaker 6>photo and they've they've said they see other sasquatch around it,

1290
01:15:17.960 --> 01:15:23.119
<v Speaker 6>they see baby sasquatch, they see one on the shoulder,

1291
01:15:23.359 --> 01:15:26.239
<v Speaker 6>a baby on the shoulder, they see a hand, you know,

1292
01:15:26.359 --> 01:15:29.239
<v Speaker 6>reaching around. You know, a lot of people have examined

1293
01:15:29.279 --> 01:15:32.800
<v Speaker 6>this photo and said they've seen various things, which we

1294
01:15:32.840 --> 01:15:37.199
<v Speaker 6>always appreciate because, you know, it's always really good to

1295
01:15:37.239 --> 01:15:40.760
<v Speaker 6>have other people examine your photos and and be able

1296
01:15:40.800 --> 01:15:43.840
<v Speaker 6>to conduct their own analysis on it. But yeah, that's

1297
01:15:43.840 --> 01:15:46.880
<v Speaker 6>what we what we believe we're seeing, and we're very

1298
01:15:47.000 --> 01:15:49.880
<v Speaker 6>very fortunate to catch fortunate to catch this shot. Now,

1299
01:15:49.880 --> 01:15:53.520
<v Speaker 6>we've gotten lots of pictures from this from this research area.

1300
01:15:53.640 --> 01:15:55.760
<v Speaker 6>It's every time we go out there. We're pretty much

1301
01:15:55.800 --> 01:15:58.439
<v Speaker 6>guaranteed some type of activity, whether it's a track or

1302
01:15:58.439 --> 01:16:02.079
<v Speaker 6>whether it's our game cameras catching thing or here in vocalizations.

1303
01:16:02.079 --> 01:16:04.399
<v Speaker 6>That's actually that area is the first time I ever

1304
01:16:04.439 --> 01:16:09.039
<v Speaker 6>heard of bigfoot screen and it's just an area that's charged.

1305
01:16:09.279 --> 01:16:10.880
<v Speaker 6>I mean, you go in there, and I know that

1306
01:16:11.039 --> 01:16:14.920
<v Speaker 6>term is overused, but it's an area that is just charged.

1307
01:16:14.960 --> 01:16:18.399
<v Speaker 6>You can just feel it. There's something different about our

1308
01:16:18.479 --> 01:16:23.039
<v Speaker 6>research area ground zero. That's that's just amazing. And hopefully

1309
01:16:23.960 --> 01:16:26.680
<v Speaker 6>in twenty twenty six, I'm gonna be able to do

1310
01:16:26.720 --> 01:16:29.399
<v Speaker 6>some research on the actual area itself. I want to

1311
01:16:29.439 --> 01:16:32.039
<v Speaker 6>find out what the history of the land is because

1312
01:16:32.319 --> 01:16:35.560
<v Speaker 6>because there's just something special about it. But yeah, we

1313
01:16:35.560 --> 01:16:39.640
<v Speaker 6>were very fortunate enough to get that picture and very

1314
01:16:39.680 --> 01:16:42.359
<v Speaker 6>pleased that it's gotten some good attention as of late,

1315
01:16:43.039 --> 01:16:45.159
<v Speaker 6>and we love talking about it.

1316
01:16:46.199 --> 01:16:46.479
<v Speaker 5>Cool.

1317
01:16:46.720 --> 01:16:48.680
<v Speaker 4>Now, see you bring up a point that people saw

1318
01:16:48.720 --> 01:16:50.880
<v Speaker 4>other stuff. You know, this is the this is the

1319
01:16:50.920 --> 01:16:54.880
<v Speaker 4>second photo that you sent me where it's circled, and

1320
01:16:55.840 --> 01:16:58.840
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't sure where that actually was on this Like

1321
01:16:58.880 --> 01:17:00.920
<v Speaker 4>I said in the when I brought it up, I

1322
01:17:01.079 --> 01:17:05.279
<v Speaker 4>was looking at this where from farther away this looked

1323
01:17:05.279 --> 01:17:08.279
<v Speaker 4>like a face up here and that's what I had

1324
01:17:08.319 --> 01:17:11.399
<v Speaker 4>thought that you had circled. So I was like, oh,

1325
01:17:11.439 --> 01:17:13.600
<v Speaker 4>this thing is up in a tree. Well that's really interesting.

1326
01:17:14.239 --> 01:17:17.439
<v Speaker 4>But I now that you point out where it actually is,

1327
01:17:17.439 --> 01:17:20.560
<v Speaker 4>you absolutely can see what looks like, you know, you

1328
01:17:20.600 --> 01:17:24.800
<v Speaker 4>have the head, you have the conical dome here, face nose,

1329
01:17:25.239 --> 01:17:27.039
<v Speaker 4>and then leave and point it out there. Looks like

1330
01:17:27.039 --> 01:17:29.720
<v Speaker 4>there's a hand here as well, and you had mentioned that,

1331
01:17:30.159 --> 01:17:32.479
<v Speaker 4>and then possibly you got like the curve of the

1332
01:17:32.560 --> 01:17:35.319
<v Speaker 4>neck and shoulder here in the image.

1333
01:17:35.359 --> 01:17:37.159
<v Speaker 5>So that's really interesting.

1334
01:17:37.720 --> 01:17:39.359
<v Speaker 6>That's really Yeah, a lot of people have, like I said,

1335
01:17:39.359 --> 01:17:43.239
<v Speaker 6>a lot of people have taken taken a look at

1336
01:17:43.279 --> 01:17:47.840
<v Speaker 6>this picture and circled various things, and we actually appreciate that.

1337
01:17:47.920 --> 01:17:52.239
<v Speaker 6>We we welcome it. And you mentioned about the trees

1338
01:17:52.279 --> 01:17:55.119
<v Speaker 6>back there. So we have what we call the five

1339
01:17:55.279 --> 01:17:59.000
<v Speaker 6>t's of Bigfoot research, and one of them is trees.

1340
01:17:59.039 --> 01:18:01.920
<v Speaker 6>We have trees, tracked, trails, time, and technology. Those are

1341
01:18:01.960 --> 01:18:04.159
<v Speaker 6>our five t's of Bigfoot research. So the fact that

1342
01:18:04.199 --> 01:18:07.119
<v Speaker 6>you pointed out trees, you know, uh, just reminds me

1343
01:18:07.159 --> 01:18:10.119
<v Speaker 6>of our of our five te's. But but yeah, we're

1344
01:18:10.119 --> 01:18:12.680
<v Speaker 6>we're very fortunate enough, we feel to get that picture.

1345
01:18:13.279 --> 01:18:15.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's cool. That's a very cool picture man.

1346
01:18:16.239 --> 01:18:16.479
<v Speaker 6>Thanks.

1347
01:18:17.159 --> 01:18:19.560
<v Speaker 4>I appreciate you having it on the show and sharing

1348
01:18:19.600 --> 01:18:21.199
<v Speaker 4>it with us. It's really cool that we get to

1349
01:18:21.199 --> 01:18:24.279
<v Speaker 4>see it as well. And I have I have also

1350
01:18:24.359 --> 01:18:28.439
<v Speaker 4>heard from Cliff Berrickman you know, uh that you know,

1351
01:18:28.560 --> 01:18:33.840
<v Speaker 4>he's very particular about what shows he lends his appearance

1352
01:18:33.840 --> 01:18:35.760
<v Speaker 4>and stuff to in that and he has always spoke

1353
01:18:35.880 --> 01:18:38.600
<v Speaker 4>very highly as well of Paranormal Caught on camera. So

1354
01:18:38.640 --> 01:18:41.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm I'm glad that you actually had a positive experience

1355
01:18:41.600 --> 01:18:42.279
<v Speaker 4>with them as well.

1356
01:18:42.359 --> 01:18:46.880
<v Speaker 6>So it was very positive because I'll admit, because of

1357
01:18:47.199 --> 01:18:50.239
<v Speaker 6>heat that that we've taken in the past and ridicule,

1358
01:18:50.359 --> 01:18:53.720
<v Speaker 6>ridicule and people laughing at you and smirking at you

1359
01:18:53.800 --> 01:18:57.560
<v Speaker 6>and talking about you, and you know, I was ready,

1360
01:18:57.600 --> 01:18:59.479
<v Speaker 6>That's what I was ready for, you know, them to

1361
01:18:59.560 --> 01:19:01.840
<v Speaker 6>try to make me feel stupid or anything. But but

1362
01:19:01.920 --> 01:19:05.560
<v Speaker 6>they were very nice, very nice people, very good.

1363
01:19:05.600 --> 01:19:06.359
<v Speaker 5>Good to hear man.

1364
01:19:06.600 --> 01:19:08.039
<v Speaker 4>It's good that there's a lot of shows out there

1365
01:19:08.079 --> 01:19:10.680
<v Speaker 4>that actually, uh, you know, don't ridicule on stuff and

1366
01:19:11.000 --> 01:19:14.399
<v Speaker 4>take it for face value of what you think and

1367
01:19:14.560 --> 01:19:18.319
<v Speaker 4>and you know the actual what's going on there. So

1368
01:19:18.399 --> 01:19:21.640
<v Speaker 4>that's awesome. A lot of times they try and overplay everything.

1369
01:19:21.640 --> 01:19:23.760
<v Speaker 4>A lot of the paranormal shows are like, it's a demon,

1370
01:19:23.880 --> 01:19:28.920
<v Speaker 4>it's a demon, it's dark, and it's just overkill.

1371
01:19:28.640 --> 01:19:30.800
<v Speaker 6>That And another question I get about that picture is

1372
01:19:30.840 --> 01:19:33.960
<v Speaker 6>what what type of camera were you using? Unfortunately at

1373
01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:39.119
<v Speaker 6>the time, we didn't have like our you know, the

1374
01:19:39.239 --> 01:19:41.600
<v Speaker 6>high tech cameras that that is actually taken with a

1375
01:19:41.840 --> 01:19:44.800
<v Speaker 6>with a cell phone camera and so it was an

1376
01:19:44.840 --> 01:19:46.039
<v Speaker 6>iPhone that I was using.

1377
01:19:46.439 --> 01:19:49.760
<v Speaker 4>But that's really clear quality for a cell phone camera

1378
01:19:49.800 --> 01:19:52.039
<v Speaker 4>to be honest, to be able to you know, like

1379
01:19:52.880 --> 01:19:56.479
<v Speaker 4>to be able to zoom in like this, uh, for

1380
01:19:56.600 --> 01:19:58.760
<v Speaker 4>on on the show and stuff. Usually we get so

1381
01:19:58.840 --> 01:20:01.159
<v Speaker 4>pixelated in that when we zoom in, I was surprised

1382
01:20:01.159 --> 01:20:03.760
<v Speaker 4>that I was able to keep going on that one.

1383
01:20:03.880 --> 01:20:05.760
<v Speaker 5>So that's that's a really nice picture.

1384
01:20:06.560 --> 01:20:10.199
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it was an It was an iPhone Promax is

1385
01:20:10.239 --> 01:20:15.720
<v Speaker 6>what I was using. But you know, we and again

1386
01:20:15.760 --> 01:20:17.840
<v Speaker 6>that that area, you know, we have all kinds of

1387
01:20:17.880 --> 01:20:21.079
<v Speaker 6>cameras back there and hidden and stuff like that, and

1388
01:20:21.079 --> 01:20:25.199
<v Speaker 6>and uh and on a you know, also people have

1389
01:20:25.279 --> 01:20:27.359
<v Speaker 6>asked me about the cameras, you know, and they say, oh,

1390
01:20:27.560 --> 01:20:35.359
<v Speaker 6>have you guys ever experienced interference with your technologies and

1391
01:20:35.359 --> 01:20:38.199
<v Speaker 6>and the answer to that question is, yes, we have.

1392
01:20:38.600 --> 01:20:41.680
<v Speaker 6>As you'll hear from many bigfoot researchers, many cryptid researchers.

1393
01:20:41.680 --> 01:20:44.760
<v Speaker 6>We'll always talk about this phenomenon, and we actually developed

1394
01:20:44.760 --> 01:20:48.840
<v Speaker 6>a term for it. We call it CEI, cryptied Electronic interference.

1395
01:20:49.319 --> 01:20:51.960
<v Speaker 6>We just came up with our own term because it's

1396
01:20:51.960 --> 01:20:53.520
<v Speaker 6>getting a lot of questions like that. And I was

1397
01:20:53.880 --> 01:20:57.840
<v Speaker 6>very surprised that that picture that we took didn't have

1398
01:20:57.920 --> 01:21:00.880
<v Speaker 6>any blurs to it. We've had our drone die, we've

1399
01:21:00.920 --> 01:21:04.439
<v Speaker 6>we've had our cameras affected in that area at very

1400
01:21:05.279 --> 01:21:08.039
<v Speaker 6>very interesting peculiar times. But maybe we'll get a chance

1401
01:21:08.079 --> 01:21:11.680
<v Speaker 6>to talk about that someday. But but that CEI phenomenon,

1402
01:21:12.199 --> 01:21:15.039
<v Speaker 6>but we were very lucky to get this picture, and

1403
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:18.119
<v Speaker 6>like you said, you know it came out really well.

1404
01:21:18.399 --> 01:21:21.560
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely flat Rock who will be on my show Monday,

1405
01:21:21.600 --> 01:21:25.119
<v Speaker 4>not the other flat rock. As what is the purpose

1406
01:21:25.199 --> 01:21:26.520
<v Speaker 4>for the copyright.

1407
01:21:31.039 --> 01:21:34.880
<v Speaker 6>Well, we wanted the picture protection protected because we knew

1408
01:21:34.920 --> 01:21:38.479
<v Speaker 6>it was it was different. We knew it was good

1409
01:21:38.600 --> 01:21:42.720
<v Speaker 6>and as you know, evidence by the interest taken by

1410
01:21:42.720 --> 01:21:47.680
<v Speaker 6>the Discovery Channel and that pretty much pretty much says

1411
01:21:47.680 --> 01:21:50.199
<v Speaker 6>it all right there. But we knew it was something special,

1412
01:21:50.319 --> 01:21:52.039
<v Speaker 6>so we wanted to protect our work.

1413
01:21:53.039 --> 01:21:53.600
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely.

1414
01:21:54.000 --> 01:21:56.119
<v Speaker 4>It's always good to you know, because like people, there's

1415
01:21:56.159 --> 01:22:00.119
<v Speaker 4>so much you know, AI and people stealing photos and

1416
01:22:00.119 --> 01:22:03.720
<v Speaker 4>reposting it and stuff and claiming it's there. So I

1417
01:22:04.000 --> 01:22:07.399
<v Speaker 4>one hundred percent understand the you know, this is my photo.

1418
01:22:07.479 --> 01:22:10.000
<v Speaker 4>I took it, you know, if there's anything behind it,

1419
01:22:10.039 --> 01:22:11.079
<v Speaker 4>I want credit for it.

1420
01:22:11.119 --> 01:22:12.000
<v Speaker 5>So very good.

1421
01:22:12.479 --> 01:22:16.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, thank you for the question. Valid question. And yeah,

1422
01:22:16.880 --> 01:22:19.319
<v Speaker 6>that's that's why we felt we needed to protect it,

1423
01:22:19.359 --> 01:22:22.800
<v Speaker 6>you know, because it was special. Do you always protect

1424
01:22:22.800 --> 01:22:23.439
<v Speaker 6>what's special?

1425
01:22:24.920 --> 01:22:28.079
<v Speaker 4>I don't blame you, all right, man, Well we are

1426
01:22:28.920 --> 01:22:31.680
<v Speaker 4>over our show today. I really appreciate you sticking around

1427
01:22:31.760 --> 01:22:34.000
<v Speaker 4>and hanging out. It's been a wonderful show. And I

1428
01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:36.399
<v Speaker 4>think the one thing that I want to take away

1429
01:22:36.399 --> 01:22:39.479
<v Speaker 4>from all this here is, you know, I've talked about

1430
01:22:39.479 --> 01:22:41.760
<v Speaker 4>this a lot on my show. When when my team

1431
01:22:41.800 --> 01:22:45.000
<v Speaker 4>goes out in the woods, we don't go looking for bigfoot,

1432
01:22:45.279 --> 01:22:47.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, we go looking for what's out there. It

1433
01:22:47.800 --> 01:22:50.000
<v Speaker 4>could be fairies, it could be dog man, could be

1434
01:22:50.039 --> 01:22:53.760
<v Speaker 4>paranormal UFOs. We've got a report of something in the area,

1435
01:22:53.920 --> 01:22:55.880
<v Speaker 4>we go out and you go with an open mind.

1436
01:22:56.279 --> 01:22:59.079
<v Speaker 4>And I think that today's show kind of enveloped that

1437
01:22:59.279 --> 01:23:02.359
<v Speaker 4>all in a new aspect as well, is talking about

1438
01:23:02.359 --> 01:23:05.720
<v Speaker 4>bears and moose and cougars and stuff. If you go

1439
01:23:05.800 --> 01:23:08.640
<v Speaker 4>out there with with bigfoot blinders on or dog man

1440
01:23:08.720 --> 01:23:11.399
<v Speaker 4>blinders or whatever it is that you're going out looking for,

1441
01:23:11.479 --> 01:23:14.520
<v Speaker 4>you're gonna miss something that could be life threatening to

1442
01:23:14.560 --> 01:23:18.600
<v Speaker 4>you on a very natural and you know, environmental level.

1443
01:23:18.840 --> 01:23:22.319
<v Speaker 4>So I think that's very important to put out in

1444
01:23:22.319 --> 01:23:28.199
<v Speaker 4>today's show. So you have a podcast, you have some

1445
01:23:28.560 --> 01:23:30.800
<v Speaker 4>research and stuff out there, tell us all about the

1446
01:23:30.920 --> 01:23:33.680
<v Speaker 4>podcast and where we can find it, and any events

1447
01:23:33.680 --> 01:23:37.359
<v Speaker 4>and stuff that you've got coming up as well.

1448
01:23:37.520 --> 01:23:39.840
<v Speaker 6>So the name of our podcast is the Cryptive Wilderness

1449
01:23:39.880 --> 01:23:44.520
<v Speaker 6>Research Podcast. It's on YouTube and Apple. We also have

1450
01:23:44.600 --> 01:23:47.479
<v Speaker 6>a TikTok channel, which is where we do, excuse me,

1451
01:23:47.520 --> 01:23:51.760
<v Speaker 6>a majority of our of our activity. So upcoming here

1452
01:23:51.920 --> 01:23:55.439
<v Speaker 6>in twenty twenty six, we I'll be headed back down

1453
01:23:55.439 --> 01:23:59.560
<v Speaker 6>to Arkansas to go out again with William Lunceford and

1454
01:23:59.560 --> 01:24:02.560
<v Speaker 6>Steven Hill. We're going to do a lot, a lot

1455
01:24:02.600 --> 01:24:06.479
<v Speaker 6>of filming while we're down there, hopefully get together with

1456
01:24:07.119 --> 01:24:10.079
<v Speaker 6>Keith Crabtree like we always do from the Legend of

1457
01:24:10.079 --> 01:24:13.119
<v Speaker 6>Boggie Creek and yeah, we're just gonna do a lot

1458
01:24:13.159 --> 01:24:18.520
<v Speaker 6>more filming on this one than we have done in

1459
01:24:18.600 --> 01:24:22.199
<v Speaker 6>previous times. And you know, we have drones in our

1460
01:24:22.239 --> 01:24:24.199
<v Speaker 6>research and we're going to do a lot more a

1461
01:24:24.199 --> 01:24:27.439
<v Speaker 6>lot more drone footage. And we actually, again with that

1462
01:24:27.520 --> 01:24:31.319
<v Speaker 6>CEI that I mentioned before, we've even experienced it with

1463
01:24:31.399 --> 01:24:35.439
<v Speaker 6>our drones over our research areas. But yeah, so also

1464
01:24:35.520 --> 01:24:38.680
<v Speaker 6>my partner William Lunsford has a new book out. Highly

1465
01:24:38.800 --> 01:24:46.840
<v Speaker 6>encourage you to to look that up online and excuse

1466
01:24:46.880 --> 01:24:51.439
<v Speaker 6>me here. So yeah, new research in twenty twenty six

1467
01:24:51.520 --> 01:24:54.279
<v Speaker 6>down in Arkansas, We're going to be going into Louisiana

1468
01:24:54.399 --> 01:24:59.760
<v Speaker 6>as well and Lincoln up with with our friends down

1469
01:24:59.800 --> 01:25:05.239
<v Speaker 6>there to who has some private property that has some

1470
01:25:05.319 --> 01:25:10.199
<v Speaker 6>really amazing bigfoot activity on that property. So I'm really

1471
01:25:10.199 --> 01:25:13.760
<v Speaker 6>looking forward to that. And uh yeah, it's gonna be

1472
01:25:13.800 --> 01:25:16.880
<v Speaker 6>a good upcoming year. And uh my partner Williams got

1473
01:25:16.880 --> 01:25:20.239
<v Speaker 6>some conferences lined up. I don't have any conferences lined

1474
01:25:20.319 --> 01:25:23.840
<v Speaker 6>up as of yet, but but it's a little bit

1475
01:25:23.920 --> 01:25:26.760
<v Speaker 6>more difficult for me to to get out of Alaska,

1476
01:25:27.319 --> 01:25:30.760
<v Speaker 6>especially fly out here during tourist season. But we have

1477
01:25:30.880 --> 01:25:34.079
<v Speaker 6>to encourage you to check out our our channel on

1478

<v Speaker 3>Uh.

1481
01:25:40.520 --> 01:25:42.920
<v Speaker 6>We just had I I was telling you this before

1482
01:25:42.960 --> 01:25:48.199
<v Speaker 6>the show. We just had author and filmmaker La Marzouli

1483
01:25:48.880 --> 01:25:52.119
<v Speaker 6>on the podcast and and that was always fun. We

1484
01:25:52.119 --> 01:25:55.159
<v Speaker 6>were talking about kind of a kind of a sidebar

1485
01:25:55.279 --> 01:25:58.439
<v Speaker 6>from the crypto stuff. We were talking about the mysterious

1486
01:25:58.600 --> 01:26:03.880
<v Speaker 6>mound builders, the mound builders who created those mounds there

1487
01:26:03.920 --> 01:26:07.560
<v Speaker 6>in the Midwest. So that was fun. So yeah, check

1488
01:26:07.600 --> 01:26:07.960
<v Speaker 6>us out.

1489
01:26:09.239 --> 01:26:12.760
<v Speaker 4>Sounds good man, Yeah, ironically are before at the beginning

1490
01:26:12.800 --> 01:26:15.840
<v Speaker 4>show I talked about the Washaa County Jail episode. The

1491
01:26:15.840 --> 01:26:17.960
<v Speaker 4>one that we just released before that was the Mounds

1492
01:26:17.960 --> 01:26:22.760
<v Speaker 4>Builder episode of Astalin State Park and Kahokia. So I

1493
01:26:22.840 --> 01:26:25.680
<v Speaker 4>was down there doing some paranormal research and stuff and

1494
01:26:26.039 --> 01:26:28.840
<v Speaker 4>the mounds and energy and stuff, so very very cool.

1495
01:26:29.159 --> 01:26:33.319
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, very very interesting. And my hometown is Newark, Ohio,

1496
01:26:33.479 --> 01:26:37.840
<v Speaker 6>where we have mounds there and the Great Serpent Mound

1497
01:26:37.920 --> 01:26:39.880
<v Speaker 6>is there as well as the octagons and all that,

1498
01:26:40.399 --> 01:26:42.800
<v Speaker 6>and so I grew up around these things. So getting

1499
01:26:42.920 --> 01:26:45.479
<v Speaker 6>La Marzouli on there to talk about it was a

1500
01:26:45.560 --> 01:26:46.199
<v Speaker 6>real honor.

1501
01:26:47.359 --> 01:26:48.680
<v Speaker 5>Very cool, very cool man.

1502
01:26:49.239 --> 01:26:50.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, we have in the show notes, we have the

1503
01:26:50.960 --> 01:26:54.960

1504

1507
01:27:05.239 --> 01:27:05.720
<v Speaker 5>That as well.

1508
01:27:05.800 --> 01:27:07.560
<v Speaker 4>So look forward to If you're listening to this on

1509
01:27:07.640 --> 01:27:10.960
<v Speaker 4>any audio platform, it will be already there for you.

1510
01:27:11.000 --> 01:27:14.439
<v Speaker 4>If you're watching this on YouTube, it'll get updated. So awesome. Man,

1511
01:27:15.720 --> 01:27:17.920
<v Speaker 4>any final thoughts, anything you want to leave people with.

1512
01:27:21.279 --> 01:27:26.720
<v Speaker 6>Well, again, just if you're in this field, you know,

1513
01:27:26.880 --> 01:27:30.239
<v Speaker 6>always be your first skeptic. Always be your first skeptic.

1514
01:27:30.960 --> 01:27:34.840
<v Speaker 6>A couple rules that we live by is never speak

1515
01:27:34.840 --> 01:27:38.560
<v Speaker 6>in absolutes when it comes to cryptozoology, because if somebody

1516
01:27:38.600 --> 01:27:43.840
<v Speaker 6>tells you they know it all, they don't. Number two,

1517
01:27:44.520 --> 01:27:49.760
<v Speaker 6>never publicly criticize someone else's research or experience just because

1518
01:27:49.800 --> 01:27:54.399
<v Speaker 6>it happened hasn't happened to you doesn't invalidate it. And

1519
01:27:55.000 --> 01:27:59.840
<v Speaker 6>number three, everybody's theories are just as valid as someone

1520
01:28:00.039 --> 01:28:04.760
<v Speaker 6>else is. Wait, that doesn't make sense. Everybody's theories are valid.

1521
01:28:07.000 --> 01:28:11.000
<v Speaker 6>Everybody's theories are are valid, So always approach it with

1522
01:28:11.039 --> 01:28:15.479
<v Speaker 6>an open mind. Be willing to take things under consideration,

1523
01:28:15.960 --> 01:28:18.680
<v Speaker 6>even if you don't agree with it be open minded

1524
01:28:18.800 --> 01:28:24.079
<v Speaker 6>enough to at least consider it. So yeah, that's what I.

1525
01:28:24.000 --> 01:28:27.920
<v Speaker 4>Got, very well, said very well. Indeed, man, it's been

1526
01:28:27.920 --> 01:28:30.239
<v Speaker 4>a pleasure chatting with you. I look forward to having

1527
01:28:30.279 --> 01:28:32.680
<v Speaker 4>you on again. I think we missed out on talking

1528
01:28:32.680 --> 01:28:36.199
<v Speaker 4>about the energy and stuff and the EMF and stuff

1529
01:28:36.199 --> 01:28:38.760
<v Speaker 4>that we were kind of mumbling about. Oh right, right, well,

1530
01:28:38.800 --> 01:28:41.600
<v Speaker 4>and it's kind of interesting topic, so I'll have to

1531
01:28:41.600 --> 01:28:44.359
<v Speaker 4>have you back and chat more on that down the road.

1532
01:28:45.800 --> 01:28:49.000
<v Speaker 6>It is. Well, thank you so much for having me on,
