WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.399 Growing up as kids, we always hear the story of 2 00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:04.919 the hairy Man. The story goes the family was traveling 3 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:07.320 through and their youngest son fell off the back of 4 00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:10.519 the wagon. They didn't realize that they kept going and 5 00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:13.119 he pretty much grew up in that area with no 6 00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:16.199 family as a fair old person covered in hair, and 7 00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.839 people would encounter him traveling through the Chisholm Trail. He 8 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:21.920 was said that he would be hanging in the trees 9 00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:24.559 and his toe nails would spread the tops of the 10 00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:27.320 canvases at the wagons. I actually found a book that 11 00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.920 was written by the local postmaster in the area and 12 00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:31.519 he goes on to tell the story of these high 13 00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.359 school kids that were hanging out in the area, and 14 00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.119 one of the kids he ends up getting stranded out 15 00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:39.079 there on Harryman Road around midnight and he's forced to 16 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.600 walk back to town on Harryman Road. He claims that 17 00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.799 he was approached and encountered a large hairy man and 18 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.119 he had to outrun this hairy man and get back 19 00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:49.600 to town. 20 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.719 I'd like to welcome Eric to Bigfoot Crossroads. Eric caught 21 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:31.280 my attention very recently this past week, and he has 22 00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.640 a YouTube channel called Media Palace, which I'm sure he'll 23 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.079 tell you all about but he has some very interesting 24 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.359 videos there that I've been checking out, and I encourage 25 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.000 you to go check them out as well. Eric Man, 26 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:43.920 thanks for joining me. 27 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.439 Yang, Thanks for having me on Man, I appreciate it. 28 00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:48.560 Thanks for letting me be here. 29 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.239 Yeah, so you're from the Austin, Texas area. 30 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.760 Yeah, Central Texas pretty much born and raised. My family's 31 00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:00.239 been here for a really long time. And yeah, been 32 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:01.560 hanging around the Austin area. 33 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.439 So how did you end up getting interested in the Bigfoot? 34 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:11.719 Oh Man? Yeah, that's that's a great question. It kind 35 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:15.840 of started with when I know, I started noticing some 36 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.039 weird stuff taking place in my hometown of Williamson County here, 37 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:24.319 which is just north of Austin. And we've always kind 38 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:29.400 of had this myth or this mythos of the hairy Man, 39 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:33.159 and I grew up hearing about the hairy Man Hairyman Road. 40 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.319 There's actually a road called Harryman Road that comes right 41 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.599 through town, and we grew up hearing that as kids. 42 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.719 Never really thought much of it, just figured it was 43 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.639 a story that they would tell kids to, you know, 44 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:48.560 keep them entertained while driving on that road. But growing 45 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:54.000 up and after you know, kind of hearing people's encounters 46 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.759 and some other strange things going on, I started digging 47 00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.879 into it. And that was around twenty eighteen when I 48 00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:05.439 started researching the area and all that information that I 49 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.919 gathered ended up becoming my first documentary, The Beast of 50 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:13.599 Brushy Creek, And in that documentary I was able to 51 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.439 actually find the true story of the hairy Man and 52 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:20.599 how harry Man Road got its name. Growing up as kids, 53 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.080 we always hear the story of the hairy Man, that 54 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.840 it was a group of frontiers people traveling on the 55 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.840 Chisen Trail. The famous Chisen Trail runs here where I'm at, 56 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:33.400 where they used to run cattle up north, and the 57 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:36.199 story goes the family was traveling through and their youngest 58 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.759 son fell off the back of the wagon. They didn't 59 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:41.879 realize it and they kept going, and he pretty much 60 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.759 grew up in that area with no family as a 61 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:51.719 fair old person covered in hair, and people would encounter 62 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.599 him traveling through the Chisholm Trail. He was said that 63 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.800 he would be hanging in the trees and his toenails 64 00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.000 would script the tops of the canvases at the wagon. 65 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.360 And this is a story that we grew up hearing. 66 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.560 Obviously it's you know, exaggerated, and who knows what all 67 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.960 could have been true. But while researching for my documentary, 68 00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:11.560 I actually found a book that was written by the 69 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.120 local postmaster in the area and he confirmed and it's 70 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:16.600 written in the books saying, you know, there's a lot 71 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.720 of stories about harry Manroe got its name, and this 72 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.800 is the real story. And he goes on to tell 73 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.560 the story of these high school kids that were hanging 74 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:25.399 out in the area. We have all their names, and 75 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.000 one of the kids, his name was Shorty Caldwell. He 76 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.680 was actually the star football quarterback of Round Rock High 77 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.639 School at attack. He ends up getting stranded out there 78 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.720 on harry Man Road around midnight and he's forced to 79 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.560 walk back to town on harry Man Road. This is 80 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.639 before it was named harry Man Roy and then he 81 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:47.040 claims that he was approached and encountered a large harry 82 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.160 Man and he had to outrun this harry Man and 83 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:54.279 get back to town. The next day he got to school, 84 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.399 he talked about it with the other kids there and 85 00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.240 it pretty much caught like wildfire. Everybody was to talking 86 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.319 about it. And shortly after that, there was a man 87 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.279 who was opening up a store off of Harryman Road, 88 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.439 and he wanted to get some some postage and some 89 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:13.120 paperwork that has his address and all that stuff on there. 90 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.079 So he went to the post office and he said, hey, 91 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.639 you know, I'm trying to get some some you know, stationery. 92 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.160 What's the name of this road here? It's just the 93 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:22.720 country road and the postmatterss. So I don't know the 94 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.519 real name, but everybody calls it harry Van Road, and 95 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.319 so he thought that was hilarious, and he went down 96 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.720 to the courthouse and trying to get the official name. 97 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.120 And he comes back into the post office laughing, and 98 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.759 he tells the post office the apostal worker there as well. 99 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.480 It's officially called Harryman Road now, but it wasn't what 100 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:48.000 it wasn't without some controversy there a lot of the 101 00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:51.040 old timers did not want that road to be called 102 00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:53.920 Harryman Road. And why that is we can only speculate. 103 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.240 But in the book it explains that one of the 104 00:05:58.240 --> 00:05:59.879 one of the older residents of the area, his name 105 00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:02.600 was Folks. There's actually a school named CD Folks in 106 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:04.480 the area that shows you how much of it of 107 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.040 the person he was in the community. He thought tooth 108 00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:09.000 and nail to get a changed. You wanted to get 109 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.199 a change to Fern Bluff Road because he told the 110 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.279 people that are named it, be careful because you're stepping 111 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.839 on hhllowed ground. But zas that was kind of weird 112 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:20.680 when he kind of said it like that. You know, 113 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.120 it's really weird. And harry Man Road is actually surrounded 114 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:26.680 the majority of it, A good part of it is 115 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.279 surrounded by a ranch that's been there for generations and generations. 116 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.720 And I should probably explain where I am in the 117 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:37.000 Central Texas area. We're part of the Balcone's Escarpment, and 118 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.920 the Balcone's Escarpment is like a mini Grand Canyon that 119 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.399 runs from San Antonio almost all the way up to Dallas. 120 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:47.000 It's actually visible from space, full of full of creeks 121 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:51.759 and crevices, caves, a lot of limestone caves everywhere, and 122 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:56.480 there has been people living in this area for centuries. 123 00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.480 I believe it was in the nineteen seventies they found 124 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.319 right off the Brushy Creek. At the time, it was 125 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:06.759 the oldest complete skeleton. They dated it at thirteen thousand 126 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.839 years old. There was just some woman and she was 127 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:14.079 an ancient Native American. Shortly after that, while they were 128 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.279 constructing the highway here I thirty five again off of 129 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.519 the Brushy Creek, they had found some Indian burial mounds 130 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.079 and at the bottom of one of these Indian burial 131 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.759 mounds was an ancient Roman coin and everybody was kind 132 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.439 of like, WHOA, how'd that get there? And so they 133 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.800 took the coin to the University of Texas and Austin. 134 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.240 There were two professors that looked at the coin and 135 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:40.680 they came up with different different conclusions. One of the professors, 136 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:42.759 who was from the East Coast, he had moved here 137 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.639 to be a professor university. He had claimed that it 138 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.160 was a World War two relic someone had brought back 139 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.199 after the war and they were walking along with Brushy Creek. 140 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.360 They dropped it when a road and grabbed it and 141 00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.199 burrowed underground, and that's how it got to the bottom 142 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:02.959 of an Indian burial. Now, the other professor knew the 143 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:07.600 person who found the coin, and once he realized that 144 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.720 person had found the coin, he called him and they 145 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.639 spoke and he believed the one hundred percent that it 146 00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:16.800 was it had to be an original deposit. For whatever reason, 147 00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:19.879 he knew the person. He said they grew up together 148 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.560 relic hunting. They learned under the same relicuntry in Georgetown, 149 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.199 which is not far from where I am. And so 150 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:31.000 we without the Bigfoot or the Sasquatch topic. This is 151 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.519 a really interesting and weird place. A lot of people 152 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:36.240 have been living here for a long time. And I 153 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:40.559 not to mention in twenty fourteen, about fifty yards from 154 00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:44.799 where I grew up my home as a child, the backyard, 155 00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:47.600 about fifty yards from where our backyard was, they found 156 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:54.840 three ancient Native American burial mounts there, and unfortunately they 157 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.840 In Texas, we have a really strange law where it 158 00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:02.480 allows the construction company to hire their own anthropologist. So 159 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:05.360 a lot of times, yeah, a lot of times we'll 160 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.000 get them hiring someone that's obviously in favor of the 161 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.960 construction so they'll just be like, oh, yeah, nothing to 162 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.240 see here, go ahead, and you know, build a road 163 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.200 over and build a street over. So unfortunately, we had 164 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.919 no idea how old these people were, where they came from. 165 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:21.519 Were they part of the same tribe that was in 166 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.799 the area. We really don't know. That's really unfortunately we 167 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.559 could have had some you know, another Neanderthal woman the 168 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:31.039 thirteen thousand year old woman. But again that just kind 169 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:34.919 of explains the strangeness of the area. You take that 170 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.559 you take the hairy Man Road. And again, like I said, 171 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.919 I was just kind of researching all of this and 172 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.600 it ended up becoming the Beast of Brushy Creek documentary. 173 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.960 And what had really caught my eye was that in 174 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:54.039 twenty seventeen, we had a mountain of bigfoot sightings. For 175 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.559 whatever reason that was, we were getting bigfoot sightings and 176 00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.639 were encounters. We were hearing this, you know, on Facebook 177 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:03.440 and other social media platforms. There was actually rumored I 178 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:06.120 didn't see this, but I heard about it. While researching, 179 00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:10.000 I was in different Facebook groups, asking questions multiple people 180 00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.159 about five different people. I still have the messages. All 181 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:14.759 of them told me that I needed to reach out 182 00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:18.039 to this one person. Apparently this guy had taken a 183 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.679 video of something that was walking along the Brushy Creek. 184 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:23.200 Everyone had seen the video. The people that had messaged 185 00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:25.559 me told me that it was a clear video of 186 00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:30.399 this black figure, very tall and lengthy, walking near the creek. 187 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.840 It got taken down very shortly after that. The guy 188 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.279 was removed, and really all we have left is the people, 189 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:39.679 the original people that had seen this. 190 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:40.360 Wow. 191 00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.200 So multiple people had told me about this and they're like, hey, 192 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:44.759 to reach out to that guy. So I did reach 193 00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:48.799 out to him, and he told me a really incredible story. 194 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:53.440 He says, Yes, I did take footage of something there, 195 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:55.639 but I can't talk about it. I signed an on 196 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.320 disclosure agreement. I have all these messages, I had everything here, 197 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.279 and that really got interested in like, what the heck's 198 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:06.039 going on here? So shortly after that, this is all fact. 199 00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:09.399 You can go look at this. The FBI sent an 200 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:12.559 email to the chief of police here in Round Rock saying, hey, 201 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.240 we've heard about your you know, sasquatch sightings and all 202 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:21.480 the dealings that's going on in the area. We're offering 203 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.559 you any help you need, and we're giving you a 204 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.320 bounty of five hundred thousand dollars for anyone that can 205 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:29.039 provide information capture. This is the fact this happened. I 206 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:32.879 have the email. And so a lot of people played 207 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:34.919 it off as like, oh, this is a publicity snunt 208 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:37.519 for the county and you know the city's doing this 209 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.200 publicity stuff. But when you look at it, it's like, 210 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.399 why would the FBI be involved? Yeah, and we know 211 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.960 the FBI was involved because the person who sent that email, 212 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:48.960 I know his name, I have all this information at 213 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.600 the time, was the head of the FBI in Texas. 214 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.279 That's a fact. And I went and looked at his 215 00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:58.000 resume online you can look at it on LinkedIn or whatever, 216 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:00.519 and in there it says that he is, you know, 217 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.039 in charge of two hundred and fifty feet of border, 218 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:07.200 he was involved in the nine to eleven situation, and 219 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:10.399 he is currently in charge of He's in charge of 220 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:15.600 a covert information, secret information, and ten secret facilities inside 221 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:19.240 of Texas. That's all there. It's on his LinkedIn profile. 222 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.559 So you're wondering, like, why is this guy sending an 223 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:24.519 email to the chief of police, and it kind of 224 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.480 you know, it's if it was just one of these 225 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:29.360 you know things like oh, sasquatch breeding taking place in 226 00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:31.600 Round rock Er, you know, these these ones that are 227 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.879 obviously tourist based or you know, the bigfoot license stuff 228 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:38.000 like that hunting license. Then yeah, that all sounds kind 229 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:41.080 of gimmicky. But we can trace this back to the 230 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:44.080 head of the FBI in Texas. That's a fact. That's 231 00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:45.039 one hundred percent fact. 232 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.039 I don't think the FBI can be directly involved in 233 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.080 marketing schemes exactly. 234 00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:52.120 You know what I mean exactly. 235 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:53.799 I mean that's not for tourism. 236 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.279 The fact that the guy who had taken the video 237 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.240 said that he was approached and he can't talk and 238 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.600 sign an NBA, that's really like, man, this is all 239 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.840 happening at the same time so had mentioned the the 240 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:10.480 the FBI sending that email. The same day that email 241 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:14.519 was sent, I believe it was June seventeen, twenty seventeen. 242 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:16.840 I'm not sure about that. I have to look back 243 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.120 my notes, but the same I know, the same day 244 00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:23.559 the FBI put out the that email, there was an 245 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:28.480 incredibly detailed encounter on the BFROL website in the same 246 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:32.639 area the FBI had referenced. So it's like, well, what's 247 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.919 going on here? Are they Are they monitoring the BFRO 248 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:39.320 sites or are they putting information up there? It's really 249 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:42.799 odd strange. The same day this happened. Yeah, and it 250 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:45.120 took me two years, but I was able to track 251 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:49.559 down the person who made that report, incredibly professional person, 252 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:53.639 master's degree he had. He definitely saw something. I believe 253 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:57.600 him wholeheartedly one percent. I am trying to get him 254 00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:00.360 on camera at least maybe an audio recording of him 255 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.759 jelling his experience, because very detailed. I mean, it's it's 256 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.559 it's he definitely saw something. In my opinion, The next 257 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.240 closest sighting we have to the one that happened that 258 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:16.120 day was the next day we had two sidings taking place, 259 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.279 the one you know, the FBI's or whatever the siding 260 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.759 happens or vice versa, the siding could have happened the effect. 261 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.320 The next day we have another siding. Someone sees something 262 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.679 crossing the road, not far it's on the same county 263 00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:29.159 and everything like that, And I mean, it's just like, 264 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:32.440 is this a coincidence? What's going on here? Like FBI 265 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:35.279 is involved. We know that people are seeing stuff that 266 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:38.840 you know, Facebook, social media is talking about it. So 267 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:42.000 that really got my gears turning, like, hey, something is 268 00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:43.320 definitely going on here. 269 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.639 I'm just trying to I mean, I'm just kind of 270 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:49.000 sitting here in awe right now, to be honest, because 271 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.480 I'm not just a podcast. I mean I am, but 272 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:57.759 I've been a bigfooter for twenty five years now, and 273 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.279 I'm thinking back, what the hell was I doing in 274 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:06.360 twenty seventeen, because before I stumbled across you this past 275 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:11.000 week and went and looked at your YouTube channel. The 276 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.039 Austin area was nowhere on my radar for bigfoot. Ever, 277 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:19.320 I had no idea this was even going on. And 278 00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:22.799 the events that you're talking about with like a video disappearing, 279 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:25.840 I would have thought that I would have heard about that, 280 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:29.120 But I've never heard about any of this stuff. 281 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:33.919 You know, And that's crazy because local people, you know, 282 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:35.759 there are some people that I talked to, you know, 283 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.200 I've done the media stuff here in town, and they're 284 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:41.279 kind of unaware of it too. They're like, whoa, they 285 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:43.200 put out a bigfoot thing? When did that happen? I 286 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:44.960 have to show them to email to show that was true. 287 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:47.879 It happened, you know. So what they did a really 288 00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:50.080 good job. I don't know. I didn't ask they covering 289 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.240 up or you know whatever, but they did a good job. 290 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:52.879 Whatever they did. 291 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:55.279 Well, that's what I'm saying without saying it. You know, 292 00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.039 like this right, this is pretty crazy. 293 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:01.480 No, Like I said, everything I'm going to talk about here, 294 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.240 I have documentation for if you want to see it, 295 00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:08.000 I can provide it everything I have. And like I said, 296 00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:10.799 well we'll circle around to this one. We'll circle around 297 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.240 to this one towards the end, because I'd like to 298 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:15.120 tell you what happened when I did the four your request, Yeah, 299 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:20.399 because that's that's really interesting too. But again that kind 300 00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:22.840 of got me wanting to know, like, hey, is there 301 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.480 more of a paper trail with this whole Bigfoot subject? 302 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:28.120 Is there other things going on here? And so I 303 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:31.360 have a background in journalism, so I started doing I 304 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:33.519 started hearing about certain events that were taking place, and 305 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:34.919 I was like, well, let me let me fall your 306 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:36.840 request and see if I can get some information on that. 307 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.039 So there's a few cases that I've been lucky enough 308 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:43.360 to do full your Requests and get information on, you know, 309 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:47.879 various topics and incidents that have occurred in recent times 310 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:51.279 and stuff that's even a little bit further back. But 311 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:53.759 that's really kind of what I'm I'm focusing on now 312 00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:57.960 is finding the hard data. Because I know I found it. 313 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:00.639 It's it's it's true, it's a fact. Uh, But I 314 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:02.399 just want to keep digging the sea, like I'm trying 315 00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:04.559 to find the paper trail, the breadcomb trail that leads 316 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.240 to you know, maybe we can get you know, uh, 317 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:09.680 maybe there's photos out there, maybe there's other you know, 318 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:12.920 like my goal with putting out the documentary was maybe 319 00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:16.079 maybe somebody saved that that video from Facebook and we 320 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.119 can get them to come forward or something like that. 321 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:20.359 That was really my whole, my whole goal with that. 322 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:24.279 But again, yeah, doing like these other four year requests, 323 00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:27.319 Like recently I had done one for this, uh this 324 00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:29.079 stuff going on in Louisiana. I don't know if you 325 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:31.000 heard about that. There were some kids out there and 326 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:36.160 uh Kasachi National Forest and they were they were too 327 00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:38.720 scared to leave. They could not. They were surrounded by something, 328 00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:41.559 something was stalking them and and they It made the 329 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:44.839 New York Post and a couple of other news you know, 330 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.000 news agent organizations and stuff like that, and so I 331 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:49.759 was like, well, shoot, let me let me do the 332 00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:51.640 FOY request and see if we can get any any 333 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:54.200 documentation on it. And I was able to get the 334 00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:56.880 nine to one one call. I just posted that I 335 00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:01.640 have the call sheets, the the radio reports from there, 336 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:03.960 and I have the person's future. 337 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:07.440 A few episodes ago, I had a couple guys on 338 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:12.240 they're putting on a Bigfoot conference in that area. The 339 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:16.720 episode titles Louisiana Bigfoot, where they talked about that incident specifically, 340 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.200 and one of them had actually gone out with some 341 00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:24.279 others and investigated the area right after it happened and 342 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:27.440 had some crazy stuff happen. So yeah, that's really interesting. 343 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:32.519 Yeah, I have the coordinates. I have the actual coordinance here, 344 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:35.960 and so I'm really looking forward to possibly going out there. 345 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:38.799 Hopefully one of the witnesses will be able to accompany 346 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:42.240 me and we can kind of relive what took place 347 00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:42.680 out there. 348 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:43.839 Yeah, that would be great. 349 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:47.160 Yeah, And I mean, like you hear about this stuff 350 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:50.680 all the time and at these cases and stuff, and 351 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.839 really I'm honestly kind of passed the Oh, you know, 352 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:57.160 my cousin's niece's brother saw this and you know he's 353 00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:59.640 got you know, that's not really I'm not really interested 354 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:01.960 in that.

At the top of it, 362 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:25.720 it says this was not approved by a supervisor. It's crazy, 363 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.519 and I had heard about this. It was a group 364 00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:31.640 of people that were camping in Colorado and they had 365 00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.599 seen bone piles and there was an alleged big foot 366 00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:38.839 sighting in that area from these people. We had no 367 00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:43.960 idea to this day how the rangers had learned about this. 368 00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:47.559 There was there's no information if it was called, if 369 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:49.759 they you know, heard it face to face. We don't 370 00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:52.319 know how they got to call it is reported in 371 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.480 a in an incident summary report to say, hey, group 372 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:58.079 of people witnessed, you know, skull or a bones and 373 00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:02.799 in sighting a bigfoot and they called the people bigfoot 374 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:06.799 hunters or something like that. But when you read through 375 00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:11.960 the document, that's all it says. There's no information on there, 376 00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:15.079 and it says on there at the very bottom it 377 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:20.960 says the ranger did not go out to investigate due 378 00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:25.920 to a medical issue. Okay, Now that was a smart 379 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:28.960 way of hiding this. Okay. They had to say it 380 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:31.440 was medical because when they say it's medical that falls 381 00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:35.000 under the HIPPA exemption, it's no longer it's no longer 382 00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:35.920 for you accessible. 383 00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:40.319 At that point, I mean, they're saying that a group 384 00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:48.359 of people reported on federal land finding human remains potentially 385 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:53.720 at least, and that they didn't investigate or record any 386 00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:56.519 of the names or personal information of the reporting parties. 387 00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:01.640 We have no information whatsoever. And on all the other 388 00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:04.640 point requests I have, I have that information, some of the interdacted, 389 00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:07.839 but I mean even the ranger's name. You're able to 390 00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:10.680 see the ranger who conducted it. This one that's black out. 391 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:12.960 We have no idea who the ranger was. All we 392 00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:16.119 know is that a parent, they had a medical issue 393 00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:18.440 and they that left them unable to go out. 394 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:21.599 There at that moment, at that exact moment. 395 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:26.240 Right, what's your job, dude? You're hired, you know, and 396 00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.880 you're not the only ranger on duty exactly. You would 397 00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.240 think they would hire able bodied, you know, people to 398 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:36.039 go out there and back. But it's like, but where 399 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:39.279 is And so all that to me is just saying, oh, 400 00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:41.839 come on, that's just like you know, rand flags left 401 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.920
