WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.000 Now one of your pudding. I got a string going 2 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:06.120 on here, something just cause my dog. Something killed your dog, 3 00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:08.960 my dog. We're flying through the air over the tree. 4 00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:13.640 I don't know how it did it, Okay, Damn, I'm 5 00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.120 really confused. All I saw was my dog coming over 6 00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:17.800 the fence and he was dead. And once you hit 7 00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:19.679 the ground like, I didn't see any cars. All I 8 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:38.320 saw was my dog coming over the fence. Sat, what 9 00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:42.960 are you putting? We got some wonder or something crawling 10 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:51.759 around out here. Did you see what it was or 11 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.159 was it was? Standing enough. I'm out here looking through 12 00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:55.920 the window now and I don't see anything. I don't 13 00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:03.880 want to go outside. Jesus Quice, you better hello, get 14 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.480 somebody out here. Quin, I'm out there. I thought of 15 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:08.920 a bitch of about taking fort nine.

Yeah, I'm walking right. 17 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.439 Ay, all right, I'm going to welcome my guest to 18 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:15.920 the show. It is Tim from North Carolina. Welcome to 19 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.200 the show, sir, Thank you, sir. I had been looking 20 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.000 forward to this conversation. I got to come up a 21 00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.120 couple of weeks ago and go out with you guys 22 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.040 over in the South Mountains. We had a fantastic day 23 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.640 out in the woods. I've talked about that a little 24 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.159 bit on the show. I've used some of Jerry's storytelling 25 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.200 abilities on the show, and people are really enjoying those episodes. 26 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.640 But you're here to talk about your own personal experiences, 27 00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.319 So let's get into that first and foremost. Let me 28 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:41.560 ask you this, What in the world got you interested 29 00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:43.920 in the subject of bigfoot sasquatch to begin with? 30 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:50.480 Actually, it was having an encounter with one. This guy 31 00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:52.799 moved in up above me. His name was news from 32 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.120 Corbett and had become my best friend. Brush country folks. 33 00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.760 Leading back, I was outside cleaning the deer and hate 34 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.840 moved in and talking nine million miles a minute. My 35 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:03.480 name is Dave was Corbett. I just moved down the 36 00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.319 house up here boating, and I see you like hunting 37 00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.879 fish and I see in about two weeks and I'm 38 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.199 trying not to cut myself and everything. And he jumps 39 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.080 ins trucks and takes off, and my wife said, who 40 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.560 in the world was at I said, I got His 41 00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.400 name was Noose from Corbett. They just bloaded in up 42 00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.520 above us. He likes to hunt and fish and he'll 43 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.120 see me in about two weeks and I'll probably never 44 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.240 seen him again. But sure enough, in about two weeks 45 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.680 he showed up. We became great friends. His wife's family 46 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.680 has some property, not the property that they was living on, 47 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.879 but some more property that they would come up from 48 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:43.520 Florida maybe once a year twice that the most a 49 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:47.479 little cabin on eighty six acres. They would come up 50 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:50.560 spend a weekend. And he said, since I've moved up here, 51 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.599 let's make that us a place to hunt. And I said, man, 52 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.039 that sounds great. So we started going in and putting 53 00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:01.120 up deer feeders and cameras and stuff like cat They'd 54 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.199 already had some cameras up in one feeder, but we 55 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.960 put in a lot more. One day was up our 56 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.400 work and he said, we've got to get even with 57 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.599 my boys. I said, okay, what's going on. They had 58 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.199 taken us set of Vallad deer horns out of the 59 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.479 cabin and took it and stuck it in front of 60 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.159 his trail camera. Now this was back when there's the 61 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.039 thirty five millimeter. They wasn't even digital yet. He said 62 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.120 that he had got those pictures and his and Walmart 63 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.120 and God Will developed in the first one he looked 64 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.280 at was that set of fallider on. So Hey freaked out, 65 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:38.520 telling his wife, get you junk, we got to go 66 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.280 so long story short, his wife finally got him to 67 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.360 look at more pictures and there was this boys and 68 00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.000 their friends holding up those deer horns in front of 69 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.560 his trail captain. He said, so we've got to get 70 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:52.400 engling with him. And I said, I'll tell you what 71 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:56.400 we'll do. My dad and one of his best friends 72 00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.680 found some tracks up here in the county we lived in, 73 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.520 and there was about eighteen inches long back in the seventies. 74 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:05.680 I said, trouble, I'll make us some big set of 75 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.439 tracks and we'll go stalm from through the mud and 76 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.759 stuff and make them think there's a big foot up here. 77 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.400 And he said, oh, so I did. I made a 78 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.120 set of tracks, stuck them and trembling, ronded the toes 79 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.360 and made them look real good, attached from to the 80 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:23.519 bottom machine. Here. Boys, they was in their twenties and thirties. 81 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.720 They have a band that they was in. They were 82 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.000 playing here locally, so they was up all night sleeping late, 83 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.399 and we snuck up our made from fake tracks and 84 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.720 broke some limbs and all that kind of stuff. Snuck 85 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.000 back out, and he said, they're gonna call me after 86 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.519 they wake up and I'll come up here and we'll 87 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.800 shoot some guns and stuff. And I told him, I said, 88 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:46.759 I can't be with you because I'll get the life 89 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.399 in too much. So he went back and they walked 90 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.560 out by the tracks. Didn't even see it. He told them, 91 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.560 you's got me on the deer horns, and they ain't 92 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.480 getting me on this. They said, what he said, this 93 00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.560 big track right here. When they seen the track that 94 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.759 we'd made, they freaked out, there's a big foot up here, 95 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:07.720 just on their trapper. If we can get pictures of 96 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:10.959 this thing, we'll make millions of dollars. I can't believe 97 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.360 we got a bigfoot. They took it hook line and 98 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:17.160 Sinker had to play a gig that night, and they 99 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.439 told their dad, said, we're canceling. We're going to go 100 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.279 buy trail cameras. We'pend every bit of money we got 101 00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:24.639 on trail cameras and put them in the woods get 102 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.439 pictures of this thing. Their dad told them said, no 103 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:29.800 on that. You've donet and give the man your word 104 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.639 that you're going to be there. You're going to be there. 105 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.720 So when they went to do their gig and their 106 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.560 dad went with them. I snuck back up and got 107 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.879 my shoes and done some more stuff. I turned chairs over, 108 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.759 throw clothes around outside and all that stuff. And they 109 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.879 come in at two thirds in the morning and seen 110 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:49.920 worry I'd been up there, and they called the dad, 111 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.480 Bigfoot's been back, and he said, in your face. So 112 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.519 that's how I got started in it. But the bad 113 00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:01.040 thing was not long after that we started having encounters. 114 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.800 We was up there to kill a wild holl that 115 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.360 was coming in and rooting his yard up, and we 116 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:09.639 got up in the attic of the house. Three raccoons 117 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.279 come out in the yard, stayed for probably ten twelve minutes, 118 00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.120 and then they turned around to run back into the bush, 119 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.920 and something grabbed one of them and it roared. It 120 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:21.879 wasn't a bear. I knew that. I didn't know what 121 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.120 it was because of the sound that it made, and 122 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.399 everything went dead quiet. The coon quit squawlling. It had 123 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.720 killed the coon. Then in just a few minutes it 124 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.759 started whistling, and wor's that and there with the window open, 125 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.079 thinking that hog was going to come out, but instead 126 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.639 it was the big foot grabbing the coon. When it roared. 127 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.040 I told my buddy, I said, I don't know what 128 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.120 that is. I said, that's not a bear. Bears don't 129 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:50.759 make that sound. It's not a dog. That wasn't a 130 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.879 dog bark. I've never heard that sound before in my life. 131 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.560 So we sat there and then it started whistling, and 132 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:02.160 I said, I definitely don't know. Number one what made 133 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.160 the sound. Number two jumped on the full sized raccoon, 134 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:09.720 killed it within three four seconds, and then can whistle. 135 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.079 None of this is making sense. We set there and 136 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:17.680 listened to it for probably five ten minutes, just whistling, 137 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:22.560 and that would whistle about every fifteen twenty seconds. We 138 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.879 turned the light on to come down out of the house. 139 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:27.759 We was going to leave because we didn't know what 140 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.600 it was. We knew the hog what in coming out, 141 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.079 and as soon as we turned that light on, the 142 00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:37.160 whistling stock and that was the first run in with 143 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:40.879 one of them that I had. After that, the more 144 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.959 that we was on the property where nobody had been 145 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.319 on it much, the more we was on there, the 146 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:51.079 more encounters we was having, having sticks throwed at us, 147 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:55.279 having rocks throwed at us. Then when we tried to 148 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.519 tell people what was going on that oh yeah, big Foot, 149 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.360 because we'd played the oak on them earlier, so we 150 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:05.680 couldn't get nobody to believe us that went on. That 151 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.040 was in two thousand and eight. Every time we was 152 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.279 up there, they would do something, whether it was screaming, yelling, 153 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.759 throwing rock, putting brush in our trails, going up to 154 00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.399 our deer stands, messing with the feeders, taking the corner 155 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.920 out of the feeders. All of that stuff is just 156 00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:28.759 grew from there. Once he passed away, I no longer 157 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.079 had the land that I could go on there. But 158 00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.559 luckily for me, I have run in to them and 159 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.600 other places have got some good research areas. And actually 160 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:42.840 just right across the ridge from their property was Pup 161 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.519 Game Lens. That is where I saw my first one 162 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:51.600 being Dwight Campbell was up there walking in and DWIGHTE. 163 00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.799 Campbell and while Trent had at the time it was 164 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:59.200 called Dirty South squatching. Now it's called Sashquatrecon and I'm 165 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.159 part of that group as well as the NCI group. 166 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.559 But they was the one that got me to do 167 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.440 in research when Newson was alive. When we found stuff, 168 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.320 I would bring it home, show them wife and kids, grandkids, 169 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.879 that kind of stuff and then just delete it. But 170 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:16.960 they was the ones that got me to do an 171 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:23.120 audio research in recordings, actually documenting stuff. Many Dwight was 172 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:26.360 walking downto one of our areas. We've gone round the 173 00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:29.480 road and at the time we had two dogs and 174 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:33.519 their name was Fendi and Gaudy, and they come and 175 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.720 got under our feet and when they did that, we 176 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.440 knew that something was around. And we're standing there talking 177 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.840 about it and we can smell it, and the clear 178 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:46.399 cut up above me, I see it moved just a 179 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.960 little bit, just enough for me to notice it. We 180 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.080 keep standing there talking about smelling it. We had been 181 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.919 standing there probably close to ten minutes talking about it, 182 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.320 and it moved again, and I told White, I said, 183 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:04.399 there's up then moving in the clear cut. It's just thick. 184 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:08.000 I can't see. But there was no birds that was 185 00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:12.120 one of those. Were no birds making sounds, no quirls 186 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:16.679 running around, nothing, and that movement was just out of 187 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.320 place because nothing else was going on. And he took 188 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:23.200 his camera zoomed in and we actually got a picture 189 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.600 of it behind a big burn of dirt, watching us 190 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:29.600 go around the road, and it followed us a mile 191 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:33.080 and a halfe in to a research area and back 192 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.480 out almost to the truck. It followed us within fifty 193 00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:39.240 yards of our vehicle. That was the first one that 194 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:42.960 I ever put eyes on. Since then, I have seen 195 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:48.039 four more. The closest one would actually be the very 196 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.840 next one I saw. The second one I saw, I 197 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.840 was in another part of the woods here in the county. 198 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:57.799 I lived in Macon County in North Carolina. I went 199 00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:01.080 to another place that I liked to bowl, and I 200 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.360 was walking up the ridge and bow hunting, going to 201 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.399 go up to the top ridge and say it where 202 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.480 it's flat. I was walking up through there. One of 203 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:12.240 them come out from behind a big oak tree within 204 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:15.720 I'd said it had to be within twenty feet of me. 205 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.240 It took five big steps and turned around and looked 206 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:23.559 at me over its shoulder. And it didn't turn its body. 207 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.240 It just looked over its shoulder at men and my brain. 208 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:29.600 I'm thinking, my brain's trying to process what am I 209 00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:34.399 looking at, because here's something walking out seven and seven 210 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:39.879 high feet tall on two legs, long arms, broad shoulders. 211 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.240 It took those five steps the best I can remember, 212 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.960 because I only took a quick look at its face, 213 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:49.000 when it turned to look at me, and then I 214 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:51.480 started looking to see if there was another one, because 215 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.080 I didn't know if I was going to have to 216 00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.840 try to defend myself or walk not having a firearm 217 00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:01.120 on me only having my crossbow. That if I was 218 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.559 more than one of them, I was in trouble. It 219 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:06.840 took those five steps, turned and looked at me, and 220 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:10.399 then it dropped down to all fours. I have never 221 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:13.120 in my life seen anything move as fast as what 222 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.919 that thing did. It takes all I turned back around 223 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:19.799 to look again to make sure nothing else is coming out, 224 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.600 and I can't find it. It got gone that quick. 225 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:26.759 The best I remember, it had the paddy looking face, 226 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.840 just like on the pattershing Dimlin fim. What I remember 227 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:34.879 the most about it was the way it looked so 228 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:38.559 funny running on all the four because its hons was 229 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.960 so much longer than its back legs. It was actually 230 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:45.360 jacked up in the front, or like a hyena looks 231 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:49.159 longer legs in the front than the back end. I 232 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:54.279 stood there for probably ten or fifteen minutes just trying 233 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.960 to figure out where it went. I never saw it 234 00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:01.480 no more. I can't say that it disappeared because he 235 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:04.600 could have got across the open woods where I was 236 00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:08.279 at in just a few seconds. So I ain't going 237 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.759 to say that it turned into his bore or close 238 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.720 or done nothing like that. I just don't know what 239 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:16.879 happened to it. He just got gone that area. I've 240 00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:21.120 had quite a few encounters in there. That's actually one 241 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:24.679 of the areas I'm getting ready to just more investigate 242 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:27.960 and then this year, because it seems like the last 243 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.000 few times i've been in there deer hunting, turkey hunting 244 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:34.080 and stuff, I've had run ins with them. So I'm 245 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:37.440 going to start like that. One of my main priorities. 246 00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:42.120 Another one that I saw, me and Dwight Campbell was 247 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:45.720 in Cage's Cove. We was going around the loop on 248 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.480 Cage Cove and they told me, said there was one 249 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.360 just went behind I blowed over tree. I had my 250 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.720 thermal binoculars. This was during the daytime. My binoculars will 251 00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:02.159 detect takee signatures out the eighteen hundred yard The rangefinder 252 00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:05.000 on my binocular said that the tree was around five 253 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:08.720 hundred and ninety five yards somewhere around and there. You 254 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:12.120 could see this thing's shoulder come out every once in 255 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.080 a while and that once a while you'd see it's 256 00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:18.360 on move. One time it peeked out and we're sitting 257 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.240 there and cars are going by. This woman pulls off. 258 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.879 My truck had bigfoot stuff all over it. She walked 259 00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:29.720 up and she said, or you're looking for those creatures 260 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.799 in here? And I said, yes, ma'am, we're actually watching 261 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:35.320 one right now, and she jumped in her car and 262 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.799 took off. That was the third one that I saw. 263 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.120 The fourth one I got another real good look at 264 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.759 because it was in one of my research areas. It 265 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:51.559 was on December the first of two thousand and twenty two. 266 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:55.759 I'd come out of my research area changing my audio 267 00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:59.360 over cords out and my trail cameras and all that stuff, 268 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.919 and it's deer season, so I thought, I'll just go 269 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:04.440 back around the road where I walked in and find 270 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:06.440 me a place to hunt. So I walked around road 271 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.399 and found me some deer signed and sat down. And 272 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.159 I've been sitting there by the iron and I felt 273 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:13.519 like something was watching. 274 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:17.440 And stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see We'll 275 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:18.080 be right back. 276 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:25.519 After these messages. I looked over my shoulder and up 277 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:29.559 on little old knob behind me about one hundred yards. 278 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:33.960 There's a little creature standing there and I can see everything, 279 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:37.919 but it's right show. I can see from its right shoulder, 280 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:42.879 its head, it's left shoulder, its body, both legs, everything. 281 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.279 I just couldn't see that right arm and right show. 282 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:50.240 I start watching it and it just says theirn looks 283 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.360 at me. I just sit there and look at it, 284 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.720 and then by brain clicks and I think I need 285 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:57.559 to try to get a picture of it whatever I can. 286 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.799 So I grabbed my phone, and I had just gotten 287 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.559 a knife phone and stood the old flip phone. I 288 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.879 can't get it to sue men like I want. I 289 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.440 was wanting to get a close up look at its face. 290 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:11.799 So I laid my phone down and I'm watching it 291 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:14.080 over my shoulder, and as soon as I put my 292 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.879 hand on my gun, I wasn't going to shoot it, 293 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:20.080 but I just wanted to look for the stop on 294 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:22.799 my rifle to get a better look at it. And 295 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.399 as soon as I put my hand on my gun, 296 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:28.840 it stepped back behind the trees and all I could 297 00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:32.919 see was its left show. I stood there was looking 298 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:35.879 through my rifle and everything, and I thought, I don't 299 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:37.519 want it to think I'm going to hurt it. So 300 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.480 I laid my gun back down and just started watching it, 301 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:44.360 and it would not leave. So I thought, I'm just 302 00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:47.480 after I'm not paying it any attention, and I turned 303 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.840 my head and was watching it down in my peripheral 304 00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:53.879 and I could see it moving. It went from standing 305 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:58.639 up down to all fours and started crawling like an 306 00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:01.759 army crawl, and crawled from one clunk of trees to 307 00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.880 another one, and then it started back across the ridge, 308 00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:07.039 crawling on all the fours. And when it done that, 309 00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.319 I turned around and started watching it. It crawled back 310 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:14.519 over in to where my research area was at. That 311 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:18.400 was the fourth one that assault. Then this year we 312 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:23.440 were part of the South Carolina Bigfoot Festival, which me 313 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.279 and you do a lot of festivals together, even though 314 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:28.720 we don't get time to taller. But we had left 315 00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:32.720 that festival on Saturday night. We was going to go 316 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.319 squatching at a place where we got bluff chart. We 317 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.079 left all of our stuff with the health because we 318 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:42.240 was going to have to come home and get our 319 00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:45.240 thermals and their guns and all of that stuff because 320 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.200 we didn't want to have that at the festival. So 321 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:50.960 we had stopped and got Saturday, and after we'd rested 322 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:54.519 a little bit, everybody said, I'm taller. We may not 323 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.480 come back out, and I told him, I said, if 324 00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:58.359 you want me to, I can take hip and show 325 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.039 you where we got bluff charge staff because it's on 326 00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:05.319 the way home and it's only eighty five ninety yards 327 00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:08.160 from the truck. I said, it won't take us long 328 00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.000 to walk out there. They said, yeah, that'll be good. 329 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:16.039 So luckily we did have flashlights in the truck. We 330 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:20.519 got up there, my buddy Robert Deffler was talking to 331 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:23.440 his wife, had been talking her a while because she 332 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:26.720 was having trouble with one on their farm that they 333 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.200 called Gina. So I handed him a flashlight and told him, 334 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:32.480 I said, whenever you get through talking, just come around 335 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:35.119 the road. You'll say our lights because we're not going 336 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:40.720 that far. As soon as me and Brian Sawyer his 337 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:43.799 girlfriend Laura. As soon as we stepped out of the 338 00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:48.480 truck and shut the door, we had to yell over 339 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:51.839 to our left. I told Brian I said, I'm glad 340 00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:54.599 something mates noise, because I was afraid we'd come up 341 00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:56.519 here and you didn't just think I didn't know what 342 00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.960 I was talking about. I just taking somebody to a spot. 343 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.680 And then you don't see nothing, don't hear nothing, I said, 344 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.039 at least we got to yell out of them. We 345 00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:09.079 went ahead and got her shoes on it because I 346 00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:12.759 had t shoes on, putting my squatching boots home, got 347 00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:15.720 her flashlights and everything. We started using around the road. 348 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:18.640 Then it yelled again. That was again on our left 349 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.480 hand side. We got behind the gate, walked maybe ten 350 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.000 yards behind the gate, and there's a tree that's been 351 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:28.160 laid across the road and on both ends of it 352 00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:31.759 it's had stuff woven into it, so it didn't follow 353 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:35.720 their naturally. So we looked at that and documented it 354 00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:41.240 stepped across that. No more got across it. Then we 355 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:44.519 heard a yell on their right hand side. So now 356 00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:46.640 we've got them on our right in or left, and 357 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:49.680 we just keep using it because we're almost out tofore 358 00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:53.160 we had the bluff charge. We get out there and 359 00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:56.759 I'm showing them where it was at a tree that 360 00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:59.880 you could see where five fingers went around us pine 361 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:02.759 tree and just rip the bark and stuff off of it. 362 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:05.440 I got to show them that and some tree brakes 363 00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:08.440 and all that stuff. Them were found about a fourteen 364 00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.240 poort and half inch track and we're just looking at 365 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:16.000 that stuff, not really expecting anything much other than the yells. 366 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:19.480 We see Roberts light of coming around the road and 367 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:22.359 I hollered at him. I said, come on around the road. 368 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:25.319 We're gonna walk just a little bit further and then 369 00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:28.359 we'll turn around to come back. And he said, y'all 370 00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:30.799 might not want to do that. We ain't got nothing 371 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:34.880 for him, with like, ain't got nothing for what. We 372 00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:38.440 come back out into the road and him loft the 373 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:40.279 old logging road and we told him was going to 374 00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:42.160 go around the road, and he said we better not 375 00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:44.400 do that. We ain't got nothing for him, and we said, 376 00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:48.440 ain't got nothing for what. And as he was coming 377 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.440 around where we heard yell, on the right hand side, 378 00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:56.400 there was a heel right there, and then a little 379 00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.240 old road cuts back in it. When he come to 380 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.200 where that road was at, something caused his attention, and 381 00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.160 they swirled around and said he saw about a six 382 00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:11.960 six and eye high foot dog men with blue glowing eyes. 383 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.640 Every dently it was coming in to get in behind us. 384 00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:19.960 Didn't know Robert was there. And then Robert come from 385 00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:23.440 around behind that hill and they all the loft, running 386 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:26.920 into each other head on, and it took off back 387 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.680 down the mountain. So we said we ain't got nothing 388 00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:33.359 for that for sure. So we started walking back out 389 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.599 to the truck and I look at the hill above 390 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.160 the truck and there's two glowing eyes. Now I've never 391 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.960 seen the glowing eyes before. I saw these dog lights 392 00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:49.680 on them. Know nothing, They're just two big eyes. I 393 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:54.359 would say they was sixty yards away from us when 394 00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:56.559 I see the holler and tell the guys that I've 395 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.799 got glowing eyes in front of us, and Ryan says 396 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.519 they're shutting coming. The one that was on the left 397 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.000 is now coming in behind us. We don't know where 398 00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:10.240 the dog man went. We thought we'd better raise back 399 00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:13.000 in this truck. But I'm standing there looking at them eyes. 400 00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:15.000 I ain't wanting to leave because I finally got to 401 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.400
