11
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:42.439
<v Speaker 3>So far, so good. Been a busy day already. Not

12
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:46.159
<v Speaker 3>much Bigfoot stuff happening today necessarily, although the shop isn't

13
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.159
<v Speaker 3>very busy lately. Been just got a new display up,

14
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 3>kind of a smaller one. Remember back in the day,

15
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.399
<v Speaker 3>this is early two thousands. I know you'll remember this, Bobo,

16
00:00:55.439 --> 00:01:00.719
<v Speaker 3>but John Green was offering one hundred thousand dollars on

17
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 3>anybody who could replicate the footprints that he personally observed

18
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:08.480
<v Speaker 3>back in the late fifties early sixties. Yeah, yeah, so

19
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:13.439
<v Speaker 3>that to particular his challenge, his written challenge. It was

20
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:16.640
<v Speaker 3>donated to the museum by the Willow Creek Museum. So

21
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.079
<v Speaker 3>I got a scan of it and we printed that

22
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.319
<v Speaker 3>out and put it up in our entry way in

23
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.200
<v Speaker 3>the museum so people can come read about the stuff

24
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.799
<v Speaker 3>that John Green personally saw and was willing to give

25
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 3>one hundred thousand dollars away if somebody could replicate footprints

26
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 3>under the same conditions showing the same features. A hat written, No,

27
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:39.680
<v Speaker 3>this one is typed. This was typed. It was official.

28
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 3>It was definitely official. So then, of course, needless to say,

29
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 3>nobody ever collected it. That's not to say hoaxes don't happen,

30
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 3>of course, but nobody ever collected it.

31
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 5>Okay, hold, I like, what are we doing right now?

32
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 5>Is this members or is this the main episode?

33
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:53.879
<v Speaker 1>Now?

34
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 2>This is the intro for the main episode.

35
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:58.239
<v Speaker 5>Okay. At first of all, I was doing hymns out.

36
00:01:58.280 --> 00:01:59.159
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, wait, what.

37
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:01.280
<v Speaker 3>Was it night yet?

38
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>No?

39
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 3>No, no, so both We're coming up on the end

40
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.359
<v Speaker 3>of the month here that if I remember correctly, don't

41
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:09.159
<v Speaker 3>you have to be in out of your place and

42
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:10.919
<v Speaker 3>in a new place by August first?

43
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? Yeah, we uh, we were out of here. Well,

44
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.199
<v Speaker 5>actually they gave me till the fourth. My walkthrough is

45
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 5>on the fourth because it's the weekend. The first is Friday.

46
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.800
<v Speaker 5>We can't move in the new place until then, so

47
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:26.319
<v Speaker 5>like they're just going to refurbish it, you know, they're

48
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 5>going to strip this place and read you the whole

49
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 5>things like it's not it doesn't matter. Then if I'm

50
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 5>not here over the weekend, they're not going to do

51
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 5>anything with it anyway, So that takes some of the

52
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 5>pressure off. Then we did a pre moved plan party Saturday.

53
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 5>Crew Tou was out of town, so I had some

54
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:42.080
<v Speaker 5>of the boys come or they were going to help

55
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 5>help move. So we uh watched UFC and kicked out

56
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.840
<v Speaker 5>some steaks and had a good time.

57
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Have you been nesting in your man cave? Dude?

58
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.599
<v Speaker 5>The man cave? I think it's getting freaking ruined. The

59
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.639
<v Speaker 5>new place. It's a one her garage and crew just

60
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 5>bought that electric car and now she wants to park

61
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.759
<v Speaker 5>it in the garage to charge at which I get.

62
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:11.120
<v Speaker 5>Then she's got this big jogging machine whatever treadmill, and

63
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 5>then an elliptical machine, and like, dude, it's like going

64
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.520
<v Speaker 5>to fill the whole thing like full. So that was

65
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:18.599
<v Speaker 5>gonna be my man cave.

66
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:20.520
<v Speaker 2>This cannot stand.

67
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, it sounds like you wouldn't stand. You'd be on

68
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:23.599
<v Speaker 3>the elliptical machine.

69
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.159
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, maybe not the worst thing.

70
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the picture, all the imagine, all the exercise will

71
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 3>be getting by hanging out in your own man cave.

72
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 3>So you're probably in the midst of packing everything up

73
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:35.240
<v Speaker 3>at this moment.

74
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Right.

75
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.319
<v Speaker 5>Oh, well, crew is donepack and I still got to pack.

76
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:39.599
<v Speaker 5>I'm shocked.

77
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So her stuff is all in boxes and taking

78
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 3>her stuff's taken care of, and yours is waiting to

79
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:45.680
<v Speaker 3>be taken care of.

80
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 5>I got some trash bags and then just throw stuff

81
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:49.719
<v Speaker 5>in there in a good role.

82
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 3>There you go.

83
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:53.840
<v Speaker 5>All right, Well, then I boxed. I boxed all my

84
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 5>books up and got those into the storage unit cause

85
00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:00.319
<v Speaker 5>we got a climate controls storage unit. I keep most

86
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 5>of my books and stuff, and they are a lot

87
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 5>of camping gear and chainsaws and malls and gas jugs

88
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 5>and all that kind of stuff.

89
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 3>Gas jugs in a storage unit, Yep.

90
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 5>They like them in there.

91
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you like them in there in case it does

92
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:19.720
<v Speaker 3>go up there's no evidence left.

93
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, no, I keep the empty ones in there.

94
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 3>Maybe by the end of August, you'll be all situated

95
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.920
<v Speaker 3>in a new house, have a new office area, scanner,

96
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.680
<v Speaker 3>all going, podcast station, new life, new bobs. That's the

97
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.480
<v Speaker 3>hoe nice, that's cool. Are you going to be working

98
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 3>back at the school that's coming year? Do you think

99
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 3>or no, yep, I'm going back.

100
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

101
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 3>Once they get you, it's hard to let go.

102
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:45.639
<v Speaker 5>It wouldn't be that hard to let go.

103
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:50.600
<v Speaker 3>Okay, before we hop into our guest today, I want

104
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 3>everybody to know that I'm going to be out in Ohio.

105
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:56.759
<v Speaker 3>This coming weekend, August seventh through tenth is the Hawking

106
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.839
<v Speaker 3>Hills Bigfoot Festival. It's going to be at the Vinton

107
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.519
<v Speaker 3>County Fairgrounds in MacArthur, Ohio. I think most of the

108
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 3>events actually free, which is kind of cool. I think

109
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:08.759
<v Speaker 3>you had to pay maybe see the speakers or something.

110
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 3>But there's tons of vendors. There's gonna be like a

111
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.600
<v Speaker 3>night hike. Apparently Tom Powell's going to be out there,

112
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 3>a lot of other bigfoot folks, Charlie I know, Charlie

113
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Raymond and Steve Coles are going to be out there,

114
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 3>some various podcasters. It should be a really, really good time.

115
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 3>And of course this is the third or fourth year

116
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 3>of the event, and it's ridiculous. Every year it keeps

117
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.240
<v Speaker 3>growing and growing and growing. It's grown so much actually,

118
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 3>they've had to move it to a new location, which

119
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:35.839
<v Speaker 3>is why it's gonna be at the Fairgrounds of Vinton

120
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 3>County Fairgrounds in MacArthur, Ohio this coming weekend. Come on

121
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:45.240
<v Speaker 3>out and say hi, Come on out and say whatever

122
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:46.519
<v Speaker 3>you want to me. If you're a pigeon, you can

123
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:48.519
<v Speaker 3>go at me and I'll do it right back at you.

124
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:50.360
<v Speaker 3>It's going to be a good time. Hopefully I'll see

125
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 3>you out there. But speaking of Ohio, let's go ahead

126
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 3>and talk to our guests today. Of course, we have

127
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.399
<v Speaker 3>a return visitor today. Are at the Lovely Intellent, Mark

128
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.600

129
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.079
<v Speaker 3>Ohio Bigfoot Conference and a bunch of other stuff. He's

130
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.519

<v Speaker 3>He's out in the woods all the time because of

132
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 3>his living, of course, and what let's just jump right

133
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:15.759
<v Speaker 3>into it. Mark, how are you doing today?

134
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:16.000
<v Speaker 5>Sir?

00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:16.639

<v Speaker 5>Thanks?

142
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 1>Great?

143
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for coming on the show again. Mark. Has been

144
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 3>a couple of years now, I think since we've had

145
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.720
<v Speaker 3>you on. I think what's new out in Ohio?

146
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:33.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Just the weather? I mean, it's been an amazing

147
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.439
<v Speaker 1>year here in Ohio. We had a very average normal

148
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:41.759
<v Speaker 1>winter which led into a very very kind of a

149
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:45.519
<v Speaker 1>traditional old time spring where we had lots and lots

150
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.639
<v Speaker 1>of rain going out throughout all of spring, and a

151
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:53.759
<v Speaker 1>very few of those really warm weekends or weekdays during

152
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.639
<v Speaker 1>spring that we've been having over the last five six years.

153
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.040
<v Speaker 1>And so a lot of people were quite unhappy that

154
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.399
<v Speaker 1>there wasn't super warm weather in the spring. But then

155
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.680
<v Speaker 1>as summer rolled around in mid July, we started hitting

156
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 1>in the nineties again, and you know, then not getting rain.

157
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:12.519
<v Speaker 1>And now we're like in what I would say the

158
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>dog days this summer, where it seems like every evening

159
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 1>there's a chance of a thunderstorm somewhere around and it

160
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.959
<v Speaker 1>might rain here, might rain there, And so of course

161
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.319
<v Speaker 1>it spikes the humidities and then you have a lot

162
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 1>of humidity in the air. No, everything's doing good. I mean,

163
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I can't be happier on this year.

164
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, you pretty much have your thumb on the pulse

165
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:35.879
<v Speaker 3>of the Bigfoot thing out in Ohio in general. Do

166
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.800
<v Speaker 3>you notice any correlation between any of these weather patterns

167
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:42.079
<v Speaker 3>that you're talking about and sasquatch reports. And I only

168
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.560
<v Speaker 3>bring that up because Moneymaker, when he lived out in Ohio,

169
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.199
<v Speaker 3>he would comment about these real, real hot days and

170
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 3>how he thought that that changed the behaviors of the

171
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:53.079
<v Speaker 3>sasquatches and where they chose to hang out.

172
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, I would most definitely agree. What we find in

173
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Ohio is that if you get these real long, hot

174
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>stretches of summer that depletes the water sources in the

175
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>small creeks and any little feeders to any of the rivers,

176
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>it forces all the larger mammals and everything to get

177
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:14.439
<v Speaker 1>closer to the rivers and lakes, which of course, in

178
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>turn is going to force the bigfoots to do the

179
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.519
<v Speaker 1>same thing, especially if they're hunting deer and turkeys in

180
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:25.079
<v Speaker 1>different other wildlife that the state has to offer. So yeah,

181
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.639
<v Speaker 1>most definitely the heat the summer can play a big

182
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.319
<v Speaker 1>role in determining where they're going to be located at.

183
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:33.840
<v Speaker 1>And like last year when we had that big drought

184
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 1>for about three weeks, I mean, if we did get

185
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.879
<v Speaker 1>any sighting reports, there were always by a big body

186
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:40.320
<v Speaker 1>of water.

187
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:42.840
<v Speaker 5>That's hilarious. You guys had a three week drought.

188
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:44.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm just not here.

189
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:46.639
<v Speaker 5>We'll be talking to years out here. It's just funny

190
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:47.919
<v Speaker 5>hearing from Ohio.

191
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and the funny thing is is that we did

192
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:53.360
<v Speaker 1>have a three week drought, but I mean the whole

193
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.039
<v Speaker 1>rest of the of the year, especially previously to that drought,

194
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.840
<v Speaker 1>we had tons of water. So where we truly in

195
00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>a drought, No, we just had a three week period

196
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>where we weren't getting any rain.

197
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:08.159
<v Speaker 3>So a lot of these dammed up rivers. Something I've

198
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:09.879
<v Speaker 3>noticed out here for a number of years, and I

199
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:12.039
<v Speaker 3>don't know why, if there's a correlation, or if there's

200
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:14.159
<v Speaker 3>even a real strong correlation, but it's just something I've

201
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 3>kind of picked up, I guess over the years, is

202
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:19.519
<v Speaker 3>that a lot of siding reports come from right underneath

203
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 3>reservoirs that are dammed up for whatever reason. I don't

204
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 3>know if if it's because those river valleys underneath the

205
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.480
<v Speaker 3>reservoirs are pretty deep and you know, not a lot

206
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:30.399
<v Speaker 3>of people go into them because they're focused on the

207
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:32.480
<v Speaker 3>lake themselves, or what. Do you see that same sort

208
00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:33.360
<v Speaker 3>of thing out in Ohio?

209
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, most definitely, because when the reservoirs were created,

210
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.559
<v Speaker 1>they were created to make a deep fishing or boating

211
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:44.159
<v Speaker 1>or recreation type lake. And yes, all those little feeders

212
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>that are feeding in on all the different sides, they

213
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>become kind of just left, you know, left to left

214
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>a pasture, and no one goes around there anymore because

215
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>they're too busy up on the main body of waters.

216
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, most definitely. And plus I mean, and I

217
00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know how it is up by by you guys,

218
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:03.200
<v Speaker 1>but I truly feel that the bigfoots in Ohio, they

219
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.279
<v Speaker 1>definitely follow those dry creek beds are the semi wet

220
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:08.440
<v Speaker 1>creek beds to and from food source.

221
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.440
<v Speaker 3>So when you talk about the food sources, have you

222
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.360
<v Speaker 3>personally observed with your own eyes signs of sasquatch foraging

223
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 3>and can you describe them if you have?

224
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.519
<v Speaker 1>You know? And when I say foraging, I had a

225
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.879
<v Speaker 1>report back in nineteen ninety six. It was it was

226
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.600
<v Speaker 1>the winner of ninety six. It was over in Columbiana County,

227
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:32.120
<v Speaker 1>which is east central Ohio, and it was pretty close

228
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.440
<v Speaker 1>to an air area where there were a bunch of

229
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:38.080
<v Speaker 1>sighting reports. There was a bunch of vocalizations recorded and

230
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:43.879
<v Speaker 1>things like that. And I happened to decide to go

231
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.879
<v Speaker 1>down below this property why some other investigators were still

232
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:50.200
<v Speaker 1>talking with the witnesses, because I noticed there was a

233
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.399
<v Speaker 1>small trailer on the property below this property that set

234
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.639
<v Speaker 1>up on this big knoll. And when I went and

235
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.720
<v Speaker 1>talked to the lady of the property and I just simply,

236
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, if she had seen any prowlers around in

237
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 1>the summer. And of course she said, oh, yeah, I

238
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:08.320
<v Speaker 1>saw that, sob and I told him to get off

239
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:10.039
<v Speaker 1>my property and I was going to shoot him with

240
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.799
<v Speaker 1>my gun. And I go, really, I go, what did

241
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.159
<v Speaker 1>he say? She goes, he just growled and walked away.

242
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.159
<v Speaker 1>And I said, well, what do you mean growl? She goes, yeah,

243
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:19.840
<v Speaker 1>he kind of just made like a growl sound, and

244
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>he turned in when he left. He didn't leave my

245
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:25.600
<v Speaker 1>property toward the road. He went back into the woods.

246
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.879
<v Speaker 1>But she had no clue. But anyways, I got permission

247
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.720
<v Speaker 1>to take a look around on her property, and lo

248
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 1>and behold, we were back on this one section and

249
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:36.879
<v Speaker 1>there was snow on the ground because this was February,

250
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:42.600
<v Speaker 1>and there was an area maybe about twelve foot diameter

251
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 1>of an area where there was deer here, hair spread everywhere,

252
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:51.879
<v Speaker 1>like in this strange circular pattern. And as we were

253
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:54.159
<v Speaker 1>looking around, it's like, well, where are the bones, where's

254
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.799
<v Speaker 1>the body? We couldn't find anything. And then lo and behold,

255
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I see like a hoof sticking out under a like

256
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.679
<v Speaker 1>some briar bushes, and when I went to put my

257
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:05.799
<v Speaker 1>hand on the hoof to thinking I was just going

258
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 1>to pull the hoof itself out, it was the whole deer.

259
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.840
<v Speaker 1>And I ended up pulling three deer from out underneath

260
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:16.159
<v Speaker 1>this brier patch. They were all frozen solid. The only

261
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.320
<v Speaker 1>thing wrong with them where their backs were snapped, and

262
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.159
<v Speaker 1>it was almost like these things were they were being

263
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 1>stored underneath these briers in the snow, and that whatever

264
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>had eaten whatever I mean, I'm going to say this

265
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:32.159
<v Speaker 1>was a deer that was eating because it was it

266
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:36.600
<v Speaker 1>was obviously deer hair that they were obviously having a

267
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.799
<v Speaker 1>feeding at this location, and it was just right below

268
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.399
<v Speaker 1>the property that was having all these sightings in all

269
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:46.840
<v Speaker 1>these vocalizations, so I assumed that that was a bigfoot

270
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:47.279
<v Speaker 1>doing that.

271
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.279
<v Speaker 3>As far as feeding on the deer, kind of what

272
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.879
<v Speaker 3>parts of the deer seemed fed.

273
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Upon, well, the three frozen deers, the only thing noticeable

274
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.759
<v Speaker 1>on there were their backs. Spines were like literally snapped

275
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:04.960
<v Speaker 1>tongues hanging out, but they had they did not touch

276
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.279
<v Speaker 1>anything on these three deer. The deer that had been consumed,

277
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.879
<v Speaker 1>judging by all the hair that was there, we could

278
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.799
<v Speaker 1>not find anything like. There were no bones scattered, nothing.

279
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:19.799
<v Speaker 1>It was just a totally circular, twelve foot diameter, circular

280
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:22.799
<v Speaker 1>pattern of deer hair spread all over the place like

281
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.279
<v Speaker 1>something had been eating. And so we presumed there was

282
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.879
<v Speaker 1>another deer that was taken and that they had eaten

283
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.279
<v Speaker 1>this one, and that maybe the critters came along and

284
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.039
<v Speaker 1>cleaned up the mess.

285
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.720
<v Speaker 3>So that this might be. Maybe you didn't notice at

286
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:38.320
<v Speaker 3>the time, maybe it did. When you say the back

287
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.879
<v Speaker 3>was broken on these three deer, were they broken in

288
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.039
<v Speaker 3>about the same spot or could he describe how the

289
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:45.840
<v Speaker 3>back was broken?

290
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I would say from the base of the neck to

291
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.159
<v Speaker 1>the to the backbone itself. It was roughly about six

292
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:53.799
<v Speaker 1>inches back and it was very consistent on all three

293
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.120
<v Speaker 1>of them. It looked like something got their hands on

294
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:57.919
<v Speaker 1>it and literally just snapped the spine.

295
00:13:58.639 --> 00:13:59.279
<v Speaker 5>Very interesting.

296
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:04.720
<v Speaker 3>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bobo.

297
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:12.960
<v Speaker 3>We'll be right back after these messages. Hey, Boba, whatever

298
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:14.919
<v Speaker 3>happened to your gone squatch and hat used to wear

299
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:15.679
<v Speaker 3>and finding Bigfoot?

300
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Now?

301
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:17.519
<v Speaker 5>I don't have that hat anymore. I gave it to

302
00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:20.720
<v Speaker 5>Lauren Coleman for his museum, but I might be asking

303
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.399
<v Speaker 5>for it back because I'm getting a little nervous in summertime,

304
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:27.399

00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:56.279
<v Speaker 3>So, anything else happening in Ohio recently that any recent

332
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:57.799
<v Speaker 3>reports you've been able to follow upon.

333
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:02.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there has been a some sightings in east central

334
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Ohio over in like Columbiana and Jefferson County. The reports

335
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:11.279
<v Speaker 1>were a couple of them were of bigfoots crossing the

336
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:14.360
<v Speaker 1>road in front of cars at dusk. Another one was

337
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:17.080
<v Speaker 1>along the Buckeye Trail, which is a trail system that

338
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:21.039
<v Speaker 1>goes all throughout the greater state of Ohio. It goes

339
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:24.360
<v Speaker 1>around like a big circle around the state. And it

340
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:27.399
<v Speaker 1>was hikers on the Buckeye Trail had what they saw

341
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:31.559
<v Speaker 1>in a rainstorm, they heard some movement in front of them.

342
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.120
<v Speaker 1>They spooked out what they said was a large hair

343
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:38.480
<v Speaker 1>cover creature. Obviously it was raining quite hard with lightning

344
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:42.799
<v Speaker 1>and thunder and they obviously they kind of walked up

345
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:45.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty close to it. It must have not heard them

346
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:49.120
<v Speaker 1>coming because of all the storming, and it spooked the thing.

347
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:51.919
<v Speaker 1>The thing crossed the trail and quickly went up a

348
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.879
<v Speaker 1>hill side up an embankment, out of site, very quickly.

349
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:58.480
<v Speaker 1>But it scared them to the point where instead of

350
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:01.440
<v Speaker 1>continuing going straight, they went the mile back to where

351
00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:03.840
<v Speaker 1>their car was parked because they didn't want to continue.

352
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:06.920
<v Speaker 1>And that happened. Oh, that was just about a month ago.

353
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:08.440
<v Speaker 3>And how did you hear about that?

354
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:12.759
<v Speaker 1>I heard about it because I was doing some work

355
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:17.319
<v Speaker 1>with someone that maintains the Buckeye Trail in the state,

356
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and he happened to see I had a bigfoot shirt

357
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:25.640
<v Speaker 1>on and he's like, oh, wow, cool, he said he

358
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:28.359
<v Speaker 1>was bigfoot. I said, yeah, I said, there's been settings

359
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.400
<v Speaker 1>around the Buckeye trade. He goes, oh, you heard about

360
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:32.240
<v Speaker 1>that one. I go, what are you talking about? There's

361
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.640
<v Speaker 1>the one that happened a few weeks ago over near

362
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:37.480
<v Speaker 1>in Harrison County. I don't want to say the name

363
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.079
<v Speaker 1>of the name of the lake. And I said, oh, really,

364
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.160
<v Speaker 1>tell me more. And you know, he sat down and

365
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:45.599
<v Speaker 1>we talked in he got me in contact with the

366
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>people that actually had the sighting, and and yeah, because

367
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:51.119
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of funny because people do talk about it

368
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:53.640
<v Speaker 1>along that trail, but most people talk about it in

369
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:56.920
<v Speaker 1>a very jokingly fashion. I it's just you know, bs,

370
00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:59.680
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing true about it. There were three witnesses on

371
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.279
<v Speaker 1>this that saw this thing, and you know, obviously it

372
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:05.559
<v Speaker 1>was quite large in sizing. It had scared them out

373
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:07.720
<v Speaker 1>of there. And you know, people that hiked the Buckeye Trail,

374
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:10.240
<v Speaker 1>especially that section of the state, they're not I wouldn't

375
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.079
<v Speaker 1>call them wimpy hikers because it's pretty rugged out there.

376
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:15.640
<v Speaker 3>Now, you have a you have a job of course

377
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:17.200
<v Speaker 3>that kind of puts you out in the woods all

378
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.559
<v Speaker 3>the time. You're interested in large trees in the area,

379
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:22.799
<v Speaker 3>and you're doing some surveys from an understand that that

380
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:27.119
<v Speaker 3>sort of thing. When you're out in the woods surveying

381
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.480
<v Speaker 3>these trees and recording them and what and whatnot. How

382
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:35.319
<v Speaker 3>often do you either encounter sign of sasquatches or stories

383
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:37.759
<v Speaker 3>of sasquatch from save property owners? And how do you

384
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:40.599
<v Speaker 3>get that how do you get that information without you know,

385
00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:42.319
<v Speaker 3>like scaring the witnesses off.

386
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:45.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, and typically what it is is that you

387
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:47.839
<v Speaker 1>know me, I'm so excited about the tree for our

388
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.880
<v Speaker 1>trees for example, that I just literally go, you know,

389
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:55.400
<v Speaker 1>hog wild on these properties, you know, evaluating their trees

390
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:58.240
<v Speaker 1>and everything like that. But I typically I like to

391
00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:00.799
<v Speaker 1>wear bigfoot shirts when I'm out in the woods. So

392
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.200
<v Speaker 1>I might have an NABC shirt, I might have an

393
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Ohio Bigfoot conference. I might have a you know, a

394
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Bigfoot and Beyond pick. And of course then I get

395
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:11.440
<v Speaker 1>these property owners. They'll say, hey, I noticed your your

396
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:14.319
<v Speaker 1>shirt and I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, that's cool. And

397
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:16.400
<v Speaker 1>he goes, oh they have museums like that. I'm like,

398
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:18.200
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah yeah. And I tell him about it and

399
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:20.559
<v Speaker 1>everything like that. And then then of course they get

400
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.640
<v Speaker 1>around to saying, hey do you do you really think

401
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:27.039
<v Speaker 1>these things are are legitimate? And I look at him,

402
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I said, well yeah, I said, I I pretty much

403
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:34.000
<v Speaker 1>can guarantee you they exist. And he they look at me,

404
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:37.799
<v Speaker 1>they goes, well, just so you know, my brother who

405
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.920
<v Speaker 1>lives over you know, over in tim Buck too. Let's

406
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:43.519
<v Speaker 1>say he likes to come and hunt my property and

407
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, and when I when he was up

408
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.200
<v Speaker 1>in his tree stand, you know, he comes, you know,

409
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:50.640
<v Speaker 1>comes back a couple hours later, he looks as white

410
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:52.480
<v Speaker 1>as a ghost. I said, what's going on? He said,

411
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:54.359
<v Speaker 1>And what's going on? What's wrong with you? He goes,

412
00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.359
<v Speaker 1>you ain't gonna believe what I saw. And he, you know, explains,

413
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, this huge eight nine foot tall bigfoot, you know,

414
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.519
<v Speaker 1>walking within twenty feet of his stand and even seeing

415
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:05.920
<v Speaker 1>them up in the stand like he knew he was there,

416
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and it scared the guy to death. And you know,

417
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:10.559
<v Speaker 1>and he said, I used to make fun of my

418
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:13.480
<v Speaker 1>brother about it all the time, not believing him because

419
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:16.359
<v Speaker 1>I never heard any stories. And he goes, after talking

420
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:19.119
<v Speaker 1>to me, he's going to take it more seriously. And

421
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:22.440
<v Speaker 1>that's just one of them. That was over in Kashoktan County.

422
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:25.599
<v Speaker 1>Then I had one where over I believe it or not,

423
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:29.559
<v Speaker 1>in northwest Ohio, like up near Defiance, which is like

424
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:32.920
<v Speaker 1>in the flatlands of the state farmland where you know,

425
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:35.799
<v Speaker 1>a woman and her husband and I was on the land,

426
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:38.400
<v Speaker 1>said yeah, you know, two or three years ago, you know,

427
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.440
<v Speaker 1>we were coming up to this Blanchard River area over here,

428
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and there were five very discernible, five toed footprints when

429
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:49.319
<v Speaker 1>came up on the bank of the of the river.

430
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:51.920
<v Speaker 1>And then it went back down into the river and

431
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:54.359
<v Speaker 1>she said there, Yeah, there are five tracks there, and

432
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:58.799
<v Speaker 1>you know they were probably you know, fifteen sixteen inches

433
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:02.240
<v Speaker 1>in size, and so yeah, I mean I do get

434
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I do get people commenting all the time, and so,

435
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:08.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, people are seeing things, they just don't want

436
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:10.559
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it or they don't know who to

437
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:11.559
<v Speaker 1>talk to about it.

438
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:14.519
<v Speaker 3>It seems like the general attitude in Bigfoot has changed

439
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:16.559
<v Speaker 3>a lot over the last fifteen years, where people are

440
00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:20.759
<v Speaker 3>becoming more and more comfortable speaking about encounters. But do

441
00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:23.680
<v Speaker 3>you think that Ohio is maybe lagging a bit in

442
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:26.839
<v Speaker 3>there because it is a Midwestern state, I think, technically right,

443
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:30.599
<v Speaker 3>and people don't expect sasquatches to be in Ohio.

444
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:33.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, I could say yes and no, but I

445
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.359
<v Speaker 1>think that because of the conferences like the Ohio Bigfoot

446
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Conference and some of the other events in Ohio, I

447
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.519
<v Speaker 1>think the public awareness has gone up to a point

448
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:47.359
<v Speaker 1>where now it's over saturated, which now to me leads

449
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:52.160
<v Speaker 1>leads to having should I say, highly diluted data. And

450
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.079
<v Speaker 1>because you know, and I'm sure you see it all

451
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:57.759
<v Speaker 1>the time, Cliff Bobo, you guys see this all the

452
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:00.920
<v Speaker 1>time where people want everything to be a bigot, and

453
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.200
<v Speaker 1>when they get the bigfoot pill in them, that's all

454
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:08.160
<v Speaker 1>they think that everything's legitimately a bigfoot and unfortunately, you know,

455
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm the one that has to tell them it isn't.

456
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:12.720
<v Speaker 1>And you know, obviously sometimes they're not happy, but it's

457
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:15.200
<v Speaker 1>to their benefit. But you know, I would have to

458
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:17.559
<v Speaker 1>say it's in Ohio. People are a little bit more

459
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:20.839
<v Speaker 1>acceptable than they were, say twenty years ago. But there's

460
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:23.119
<v Speaker 1>still the skeptics, of course, and I hope there are

461
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:24.720
<v Speaker 1>because I think we need skeptics.

462
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

463
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:29.200
<v Speaker 3>So when you say highly diluted data just because it's

464
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:30.839
<v Speaker 3>a lot of wishful thinking, is that what you mean

465
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:31.559
<v Speaker 3>by that? Mostly?

466
00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think people think everything they that has happened

467
00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:39.559
<v Speaker 1>around them is bigfoot. And they're claiming these tree structures

468
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:42.400
<v Speaker 1>are bigfoots. They're claiming this sounds a big foot, yet

469
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:45.880
<v Speaker 1>they didn't record it. They're claiming that the overlapping bear

470
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:48.960
<v Speaker 1>tracks are bigfoot tracks. Because all they're waiting for is

471
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.039
<v Speaker 1>for one so called bigfoot investigator to say that he

472
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:55.240
<v Speaker 1>thinks they're bigfoot tracks. So they just go from investigator

473
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:58.079
<v Speaker 1>to investigator to investigor until they get what they want.

474
00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:01.440
<v Speaker 1>And I hate deluded data. I'd rather have a data

475
00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:07.079
<v Speaker 1>set of fifteen great reports than a thousand reports where

476
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:09.279
<v Speaker 1>five are only good in the rest or garbage.

477
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:11.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, that's one of the things that's always

478
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.279
<v Speaker 3>really I guess pushed you touch upon something here that

479
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:19.839
<v Speaker 3>has always put Ohio in the forefront of bigfoot research,

480
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:24.839
<v Speaker 3>and that's the sheer number of bigfoot researchers in Ohio.

481
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:27.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean when people look at say the BFROO database,

482
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:30.200
<v Speaker 3>or you know, any of the online databases. I know,

483
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:31.880
<v Speaker 3>when they come in the museum, they're very often quick

484
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:36.200
<v Speaker 3>to point out that Ohio has a whole lot of reports.

485
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:39.359
<v Speaker 3>And of course that has to not only correlate with

486
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:43.119
<v Speaker 3>the number of sasquatches and people overlapping in their similar habitat,

487
00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:46.680
<v Speaker 3>but also the number of bigfoot researchers willing to listen

488
00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:50.680
<v Speaker 3>and record. I think that's probably still true even with

489
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:54.119
<v Speaker 3>the proliferation of the subject through you know, all the

490
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:57.200
<v Speaker 3>all the various places in the United States and North America,

491
00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:59.960
<v Speaker 3>et cetera. But Ohio just has a ton of researchers

492
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:02.599
<v Speaker 3>who are out there quite often. Do you think that

493
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:05.039
<v Speaker 3>that trend is continuing or you think other states are

494
00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:06.680
<v Speaker 3>catching up or what do you think's going on there?

495
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think Ohio as long as I've been in

496
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:13.559
<v Speaker 1>this field, I initially got in, did my first interview

497
00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:16.440
<v Speaker 1>with a witness in nineteen eighty nine, kind of got

498
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:19.640
<v Speaker 1>active in the research per se in ninety two, then

499
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.359
<v Speaker 1>started researching with Don Keating in ninety five and it

500
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.279
<v Speaker 1>went crazy. But even back then, there was a good

501
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:30.119
<v Speaker 1>amount of bigfoot researchers, even in the mid nineties in Ohio.

502
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:35.960
<v Speaker 1>And it continues, you know, obviously to this day that

503
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:39.160
<v Speaker 1>we have a trend of lots of small groups of

504
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:42.279
<v Speaker 1>bigfoot people going out doing their own thing. They have

505
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:47.039
<v Speaker 1>their own social media presence, and they are obviously like promoting,

506
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:52.640
<v Speaker 1>promoting awareness and everything like that. So yeah, we continually

507
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:55.599
<v Speaker 1>have interest in this state. Some states don't have hardly

508
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:57.119
<v Speaker 1>any at all, and I'm not sure why.

509
00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:00.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's one of the things about Ohio. I guess

510
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:02.880
<v Speaker 3>that really, like I said, puts it in the forefront

511
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:06.359
<v Speaker 3>of this bigfoot research thing. But also, it can't just

512
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:10.119
<v Speaker 3>be a sociological thing. It can't just be a demographic thing.

513
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:12.119
<v Speaker 3>But there's people who are interested in it, there has

514
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:14.799
<v Speaker 3>to be something else about it. What is it about Ohio?

515
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:17.480
<v Speaker 3>In general. That makes it so conducive for sasquatches and.

516
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 1>Resar and I think, and I call Ohio it's broken

517
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:24.359
<v Speaker 1>up in four sections. You have the northeast part of Ohio,

518
00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:28.200
<v Speaker 1>which is where I live, that's going to be somewhat wooded.

519
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:32.000
<v Speaker 1>As it goes to the toward Pennsylvania, gets more wooded,

520
00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:36.319
<v Speaker 1>more swamp land, a lot of water, a lot of green,

521
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:39.440
<v Speaker 1>and as you get farther east toward Pennsylvania, a lot

522
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:43.079
<v Speaker 1>less population. Then you go southeast to Ohio, which is

523
00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:47.480
<v Speaker 1>your kind of your Appalachia foothills, which obviously heavily wooded,

524
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:51.319
<v Speaker 1>lots of reservoirs, lots of water, lots of deer, everything

525
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:54.079
<v Speaker 1>like that. And then you have southwest Ohio, it's going

526
00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:57.680
<v Speaker 1>to be those big sprawling river valleys that feed the

527
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:02.319
<v Speaker 1>Ohio River that have lots of agriculture mixed with rolling

528
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:05.119
<v Speaker 1>hills in heavy forest. And then of course you have

529
00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:08.240
<v Speaker 1>northwest Ohios which is the old Black Swamp, which is

530
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:13.119
<v Speaker 1>oak and hickory savannahs which were like open plain growing

531
00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:19.240
<v Speaker 1>trees with massive amounts of swampland and just soil so

532
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.720
<v Speaker 1>fertile that anything can grow in it. And so it's

533
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:24.759
<v Speaker 1>kind of a strange state. How you can go around

534
00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:27.160
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing and get all four things. Well, then

535
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:29.359
<v Speaker 1>we got Lake Erie on the top, Ohio River on

536
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:31.720
<v Speaker 1>the bottom. I mean, the one thing for sure with

537
00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:34.119
<v Speaker 1>Ohio is why we have so many reports is we

538
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:37.039
<v Speaker 1>get a ton of rainfall. We have a ton of water.

539
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:39.799
<v Speaker 1>We have a ton of oak hickory type forests that

540
00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:44.240
<v Speaker 1>produce masts on the forest floor to feed everything. Bigfoots

541
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:47.359
<v Speaker 1>like eating deer an other small game. If there's food

542
00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:49.240
<v Speaker 1>on the floor for them to eat, there's still going

543
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:51.319
<v Speaker 1>to be around. The bigfoots are going to take advantage

544
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:53.440
<v Speaker 1>of it. And then of course, you know, then of

545
00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:58.599
<v Speaker 1>course you just have the unbelievable lack of natural predators.

546
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's not like we have lots of cougars

547
00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:03.039
<v Speaker 1>in the state. We might have a few in the

548
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:06.400
<v Speaker 1>southeast section. We don't have packs of wolves. Our biggest

549
00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:09.200
<v Speaker 1>predator might be some packs of coyotes, and they're not

550
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:11.440
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to take down a healthy deer.

551
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:13.440
<v Speaker 1>They can take down the week and old ones, but

552
00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:15.640
<v Speaker 1>not like big feet can. So I think it's just

553
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:19.039
<v Speaker 1>that perfect combination of everything that gives the big fits

554
00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the perfect type of habitat and being at the foothills

555
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:24.480
<v Speaker 1>of the city of the Allegheny's appalachis whatever you want

556
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:26.559
<v Speaker 1>to call it. Most of the food grows down on

557
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:29.720
<v Speaker 1>those lower levels as opposed up in the high higher altitude.

558
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:32.279
<v Speaker 1>So you just we just have a lot to offer.

559
00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:37.880
<v Speaker 1>But Ohio, our deer population is insane and it's quite

560
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:43.039
<v Speaker 1>it's we have some monster bucks all throughout this state.

561
00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:46.200
<v Speaker 1>And and and like I say, just for the years

562
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and years of not having a lot of natural predators.

563
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:51.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the deer are huge here. I mean we

564
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:54.079
<v Speaker 1>have we have state and world records here.

565
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:57.319
<v Speaker 5>How big are the big white tails in Ohio? You know,

566
00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:58.279
<v Speaker 5>like the big bugs.

567
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I know, Coyote was telling me some of them are

568
00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:04.880
<v Speaker 1>dressing out two hundred and fifty pounds. Oh geez, yeah,

569
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and some non there's a non typical that

570
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:10.720
<v Speaker 1>was taken over in like northwest Ohio and the farm country.

571
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:14.279
<v Speaker 1>It I mean, it's it's booming. Crockets scores like a

572
00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:17.759
<v Speaker 1>world record. And if you just google it Ohio, like

573
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:20.960
<v Speaker 1>world record deer, you'll see and and I mean this

574
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:23.759
<v Speaker 1>hunting season, this or the last hunting season that happened,

575
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm always seeing I'm following people and they're taking sixteen

576
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:31.680
<v Speaker 1>eighteen twenty twenty two point bucks with huge wide racks

577
00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:33.960
<v Speaker 1>on them, you know, dressing out the deer one hundred

578
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:36.400
<v Speaker 1>and eighty one hundred ninety two hundred, two hundred ten pounds,

579
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:39.839
<v Speaker 1>big big deer. And you know, like I say, the

580
00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:41.839
<v Speaker 1>big deer live long when they don't have a lot

581
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:44.839
<v Speaker 1>of predators to work, you know, to worry about.

582
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:49.880
<v Speaker 3>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and beyond with Cliff and

583
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:58.720
<v Speaker 3>Bogo will be right back after these messages. Now, I

584
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:02.400
<v Speaker 3>have a couple of questions of historical stuff in Ohio,

585
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:07.160
<v Speaker 3>and that's because you know, obviously Sasquatches being regular old

586
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:09.559
<v Speaker 3>animals that their habitat driven, you know they're going to

587
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:13.559
<v Speaker 3>be found in appropriate habitat. And I'm assuming that most

588
00:29:13.599 --> 00:29:15.720
<v Speaker 3>of the reports in Ohio come from the eastern part

589
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:19.599
<v Speaker 3>of the states, the state rather and probably increasing a

590
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:21.160
<v Speaker 3>little bit to the south as well, when you get

591
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:24.559
<v Speaker 3>down to those particular areas, you know, the bordering West

592
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Virginia and all that sort of stuff down there. And

593
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:30.240
<v Speaker 3>there's probably only a few reports I'm guessing from the

594
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:34.559
<v Speaker 3>northwest corner, but as of now, about thirty or a

595
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:37.119
<v Speaker 3>little a little bit more than thirty percent of Ohio

596
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:41.240
<v Speaker 3>is forested. A little pre research getting ready for the interview,

597
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:45.319
<v Speaker 3>I found that at some point because of deforestation, I

598
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.920
<v Speaker 3>think that it peaked in the nineteen forties. Only twelve

599
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:53.240
<v Speaker 3>percent of the state was forested at that time, like

600
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:56.160
<v Speaker 3>in the nineteen forties, at some point early nineteen forties.

601
00:29:57.160 --> 00:30:02.079
<v Speaker 3>So now we've had sixty seventy eighty years of regrowth.

602
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:07.640
<v Speaker 3>Can you see any reflection of that in the sighting reports,

603
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:10.519
<v Speaker 3>like perhaps in the eighteen hundreds that were more than

604
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:12.920
<v Speaker 3>the first half of the twentieth century it dropped off,

605
00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:15.400
<v Speaker 3>or can you see any evidence of that in sighting

606
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:18.400
<v Speaker 3>reports or has it been pretty steady for all this time.

607
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:21.160
<v Speaker 1>No, it's most definitely had the effect I think at

608
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:24.759
<v Speaker 1>the top of the nineteen hundreds, nineteen oh nine, nineteen ten,

609
00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:27.160
<v Speaker 1>because they were cutting down all the trees for the

610
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:31.480
<v Speaker 1>furnaces down in southern Ohio to burn. And I think

611
00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:34.559
<v Speaker 1>what got to the point by the forties the deer

612
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:37.359
<v Speaker 1>population there used to be elk in our state and

613
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:41.440
<v Speaker 1>everything was gone. There was hardly anything. And it's weird because,

614
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.799
<v Speaker 1>as you know, the good thing with Ohio is there's

615
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:47.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people with a lot of money that

616
00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:50.759
<v Speaker 1>lived here at one point of their lives that left

617
00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:56.839
<v Speaker 1>endowments to preserve parks, preserve you know, forested lands, valleys,

618
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.559
<v Speaker 1>things like that, waterways. So over the years, and with

619
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:05.720
<v Speaker 1>some a broad scope objective to bring Ohio's forests back,

620
00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:10.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, say starting in the forties. By nineteen seventy five,

621
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:13.440
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, we were starting to get a

622
00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:16.200
<v Speaker 1>lot more forest cover. And like Cliff you said that

623
00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:19.039
<v Speaker 1>the forest covers twelve percent in nineteen forty, it was

624
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:22.519
<v Speaker 1>probably down to six or seven percent in like nineteen ten,

625
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.559
<v Speaker 1>nineteen fifteen, so it was almost totally gone. So when

626
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you take all that forest away, you take all the

627
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:32.039
<v Speaker 1>game away, you talk any predators away. If there were

628
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:35.079
<v Speaker 1>any bigfoots around, they would have to isolate themselves in

629
00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:38.440
<v Speaker 1>those small pockets, and even that might be risky. So

630
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:40.839
<v Speaker 1>I think we had a time period where there was

631
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:45.039
<v Speaker 1>hardly anything until about the late sixties early seventies. And

632
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:48.240
<v Speaker 1>it kind of kind of correlates with when deer started

633
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:51.240
<v Speaker 1>coming back into human eye. Like in the seventies, if

634
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:52.960
<v Speaker 1>you saw a couple of white tailed deer that was

635
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:55.680
<v Speaker 1>considered huge, like, oh my god, I saw it. Saw

636
00:31:55.759 --> 00:31:58.279
<v Speaker 1>two deer. Now they come up to you and stalk

637
00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:01.839
<v Speaker 1>you as you're walking your neighborhood. So there's so many

638
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:06.079
<v Speaker 1>of them. So yes, the forest cover has been huge

639
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:10.880
<v Speaker 1>for bringing back bigfoot population numbers, citing report numbers, you know.

640
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:13.400
<v Speaker 1>And like one thing that I always thought was when

641
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I first met Don Keating in ninety five, ninety four,

642
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:17.519
<v Speaker 1>ninety five. I mean I talked to him on the

643
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:21.960
<v Speaker 1>phone before, but meeting them in person, and what really

644
00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:25.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of shocked me was the fact that all the

645
00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the majority of the bigfoot sightings in our state, you

646
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:32.519
<v Speaker 1>could literally correlate them to the number of deer taken

647
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:36.160
<v Speaker 1>in deer season by the counties. So the most reports

648
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:38.759
<v Speaker 1>were coming where the most deer were taken. So the

649
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:42.200
<v Speaker 1>bigfoots like us wanting to hunt deer, were also hunting

650
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:45.160
<v Speaker 1>the deer too, And it was you know, obviously showing

651
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:48.000
<v Speaker 1>them the statistics that that's what they were doing. They

652
00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:52.440
<v Speaker 1>were following water, shelter, food source, and that part of

653
00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:55.559
<v Speaker 1>east central Ohio was the place to for sure that

654
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:57.039
<v Speaker 1>had the most of it at the time.

655
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:00.599
<v Speaker 3>A lot of people forget because we're we're trapped in

656
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:02.880
<v Speaker 3>our modern day society and whatever else but people forget

657
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:07.200
<v Speaker 3>that Ohio was once the frontier, you know. I meaney,

658
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:10.160
<v Speaker 3>over ninety percent of the state was forced at one time.

659
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:13.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's a tremendous amount. And people would move

660
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:16.039
<v Speaker 3>out to the wild West, and at that time that

661
00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:20.559
<v Speaker 3>was Ohio, you know, So it was just a resource

662
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:25.119
<v Speaker 3>rich area. Now we mentioned deer in general, you also

663
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:30.880
<v Speaker 3>mentioned sasquatches seeking small animals and whatnot to eat as well.

664
00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:35.000
<v Speaker 3>What kind of vegetables so to speak, resources are there

665
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:37.039
<v Speaker 3>from tree like nuts and fruits, like what kind of

666
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:39.640
<v Speaker 3>wild things are growing out there for sasquatches to take

667
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:41.799
<v Speaker 3>advantage of acorns galore?

668
00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:45.319
<v Speaker 1>We have about fifteen eighteen native species of oak trees

669
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:47.839
<v Speaker 1>that are heavy producers. They're going to like the white

670
00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:50.640
<v Speaker 1>oak family better. It's a better tasting acorn, so I

671
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:53.880
<v Speaker 1>would presume since the critters like it better, bigfoots will

672
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:56.839
<v Speaker 1>probably be the same way too. Hickories. We have multiple

673
00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:59.720
<v Speaker 1>species of hickories that produce a lot of a lot

674
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:03.279
<v Speaker 1>of food for the ground. Beech nuts get produced by

675
00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:06.079
<v Speaker 1>the big beech forests in our state. And then of

676
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:08.400
<v Speaker 1>course we have wild onions. You have all different types

677
00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:13.559
<v Speaker 1>of wild vegetables that grow all throughout our our ecosystem here,

678
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:16.480
<v Speaker 1>including some very rare ones too. But of course we

679
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:19.800
<v Speaker 1>also have to throw in the agriculture. We have plenty

680
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:23.800
<v Speaker 1>of produce farms in this state. We have plenty soybean, corn,

681
00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:27.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, wheat, et cetera. Is being grown all around

682
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:31.280
<v Speaker 1>all the time. So there's all this food source available

683
00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:36.480
<v Speaker 1>for everyone. And it's just you know, truly benefits something

684
00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:39.360
<v Speaker 1>like a sasquatch because you know, if they can't catch

685
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:41.719
<v Speaker 1>it deer, they have other things to eat until they

686
00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:45.760
<v Speaker 1>can catch it deer. And like I say, Ohio has

687
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:47.239
<v Speaker 1>a lot of deer, that's for sure.

688
00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:54.920
<v Speaker 3>Ohio's resource rich. It is researcher rich. Is that why

689
00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:56.880
<v Speaker 3>there's so many conferences you think out there? Because I

690
00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:58.440
<v Speaker 3>can off the top of my head there's three or

691
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:02.079
<v Speaker 3>four plus there's all these library gigs I hear about

692
00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:04.000
<v Speaker 3>it all the time going on out there. There's just

693
00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:06.800
<v Speaker 3>a lot of bigfoot activity in general in Ohio, which

694
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:08.920
<v Speaker 3>kind of guess, I guess dovetails into the end of

695
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:13.880
<v Speaker 3>this topic of the sheer number of conferences we're looking

696
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:16.239
<v Speaker 3>at nowadays. I mean, the Ohio Bigfoot Conference has been

697
00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:19.119
<v Speaker 3>around for quite a while. This course started before you

698
00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:21.880
<v Speaker 3>got your your gloves on it. Don Keating was kind

699
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:24.639
<v Speaker 3>of the guy pushing that forward, and you've brought it

700
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:28.480
<v Speaker 3>into central focus for everybody by doing a great job

701
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:30.519
<v Speaker 3>over the years out there in Salt Fork State Park.

702
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:34.480
<v Speaker 3>Let's let's talk about the sheer number of conferences and

703
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:36.599
<v Speaker 3>their success and why that would be true.

704
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think, for one thing, I remember years ago

705
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:43.519
<v Speaker 1>people saying, oh, I wish there were more big Foot conferences.

706
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:46.960
<v Speaker 1>In my reply would be, I do too. People just

707
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:48.880
<v Speaker 1>need to do them, and a lot of people were

708
00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:51.239
<v Speaker 1>afraid of the task to set one up and how

709
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to do it when it's really not that hard at all.

710
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:56.239
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, I just say this, if you

711
00:35:56.280 --> 00:35:59.119
<v Speaker 1>have a good wooded area, you have a good venue,

712
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:02.280
<v Speaker 1>and and you're you're going to attract people. Because the

713
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:05.320
<v Speaker 1>one thing Bigfoot does that a lot of other like

714
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:09.840
<v Speaker 1>nature subjects don't do, is attract kids and families. And

715
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:13.440
<v Speaker 1>when you can get the kids and families involved, or

716
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:16.280
<v Speaker 1>get the communities involved in it, because you know, you

717
00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:19.000
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of the newer conferences they're hosted by

718
00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:23.400
<v Speaker 1>like chamber of commerce or small cities, small townships where

719
00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:26.000
<v Speaker 1>they are they're the ones hosting it. And they just

720
00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:28.079
<v Speaker 1>invite people out to have a good old time in

721
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:32.400
<v Speaker 1>an outdoor street festival, you know, with vendors and food

722
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:35.800
<v Speaker 1>trucks and just the local businesses where Bigfoots want to

723
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:38.800
<v Speaker 1>say the subject matter part of part of the event,

724
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:41.679
<v Speaker 1>and which attracts people to the subject and you know,

725
00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:44.159
<v Speaker 1>bigfoot is. In my opinion, I think you could do

726
00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:47.360
<v Speaker 1>conferences in every state and I think they'd all do

727
00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:51.199
<v Speaker 1>well as long as they're promoted well and you have

728
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:54.920
<v Speaker 1>a good lineup of speakers at least, you know, some

729
00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:57.960
<v Speaker 1>keynotes and then some locals. A good mix is always good.

730
00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:01.559
<v Speaker 1>And I just think it's just the sign of times

731
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:07.039
<v Speaker 1>that Bigfoot's become so popular that you know, people are

732
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:08.280
<v Speaker 1>taking advantage of it.

733
00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:11.159
<v Speaker 3>Your conference, the Ohio a big Foot Conference has been

734
00:37:11.239 --> 00:37:14.440
<v Speaker 3>got a nice mix of kind of both those things.

735
00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:17.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you do have the support of SALTFORLK State Park.

736
00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Of course they love having you there, and there is

737
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:22.480
<v Speaker 3>an additional fee to hear the speakers. But you have

738
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:25.760
<v Speaker 3>an open vending area. I know this weekend, this coming weekend,

739
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:29.400
<v Speaker 3>I'll be out there at Hawking Hills that's largely an

740
00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:31.599
<v Speaker 3>open festival sort of thing. Like last year, I think

741
00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:34.800
<v Speaker 3>forty fifty thousand people showed up to the town of Logan.

742
00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:37.280
<v Speaker 3>This year, they've moved the location. It's going to be

743
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.000
<v Speaker 3>a different situation, So we're going to see how well

744
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:44.440
<v Speaker 3>that success translates over to the new format. But that

745
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:47.400
<v Speaker 3>combination of kind of a private and public event sort

746
00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:50.119
<v Speaker 3>of thing seems to work out really well. And now

747
00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:53.719
<v Speaker 3>you've taken up the banner and are now helping to organize.

748
00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:58.159
<v Speaker 3>Is it the first New York Bigfoot conference or what's

749
00:37:58.159 --> 00:37:58.760
<v Speaker 3>going on with that?

752
00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:11.719
<v Speaker 1>of the and Orantick Mountains. It's my friend Loretta Collins,

753
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:14.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, wants wanted to do at an event, and

754
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:16.159
<v Speaker 1>I told her that, hey, I'd be glad to help

755

<v Speaker 1>you do it, and so we so, you know, through

756
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:22.719
<v Speaker 1>her and and reaching out to different people, we have

757
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:26.000

759
00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:33.400
<v Speaker 1>it's like the Johnstown Gloverville Holiday Inn. It's at very

760
00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:37.039
<v Speaker 1>nice meeting facility with lodging right there, and like I say,

761
00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:41.360
<v Speaker 1>it's within like fifteen minutes of of you know, the

762
00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:44.119
<v Speaker 1>foothills of the of the and Orantick Mountains where there's

763
00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:46.760
<v Speaker 1>been a lot of historic Bigfoot sightings. And you know,

764
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I think we have coming in. We have you Cliff

765
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:51.559
<v Speaker 1>coming in, we have doctor Jeff Meldroom, we have doctor

766
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:56.119
<v Speaker 1>estabund Sarmiento, we have Adam Davies coming in, we have

767
00:38:56.519 --> 00:39:00.199
<v Speaker 1>Renee Holland coming in from Finding Bigfoot in and then

768
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:03.000
<v Speaker 1>of course I'm going to be the MC for the

769
00:39:03.039 --> 00:39:06.039
<v Speaker 1>first year for her, and it's going to be a

770
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:09.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, a great event, you know, and we're trying

771
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:11.760
<v Speaker 1>to keep it pretty scientific this year. We're trying to

772
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:14.000
<v Speaker 1>get to a lot of people to want to come

773
00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:16.679
<v Speaker 1>and learn more about Bigfoot and more about you know,

774
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:19.519
<v Speaker 1>the scientific aspect of it, you know, as well of

775
00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:22.320
<v Speaker 1>course of course about all the sightings that from the area,

776
00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:25.119
<v Speaker 1>because there have been plenty of them, and you know,

777
00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I would encourage you to go to the New York

778
00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:29.679
<v Speaker 1>big Foot Conference on the Internet or on Facebook and

779
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:33.000
<v Speaker 1>check it out, and you know, and and to tend

780
00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:35.159
<v Speaker 1>it would be great for a first event, trying to

781
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:37.280
<v Speaker 1>get it off the ground, and you know, like I

782
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:39.639
<v Speaker 1>told Loretta, you know, it'll take a couple of years

783
00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:42.079
<v Speaker 1>to build the event up to get it to where

784
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:44.000
<v Speaker 1>you're just going to sell out all the time. But

785
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the first year is always going to be a struggle,

786
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:48.400
<v Speaker 1>which I would think, And but it's going to be

787
00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:50.360
<v Speaker 1>a great event nonetheless.

788
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:53.239
<v Speaker 3>And I'm aware of one other vent. There's something up

789
00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:56.079
<v Speaker 3>in Whitehall, right but other than that, I'm not so sure.

790
00:39:56.519 --> 00:39:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's a Whitehall Festival and it's more of like

791
00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:04.679
<v Speaker 1>an outdoor type festival, and you know, I've never been

792
00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:06.440
<v Speaker 1>to it. I heard it's a really nice event run

793
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:10.039
<v Speaker 1>by nice people. I think. I think Steve Coles is

794
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:13.159
<v Speaker 1>involved with it, and maybe Paul Bartholo. I think that's

795
00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:16.599
<v Speaker 1>say pronounce it. And but it's a very nice event

796
00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:20.039
<v Speaker 1>run in Whitehall and stuff like that. And like I say,

797
00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:21.920
<v Speaker 1>we were just looking to try to, you know, do

798
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:25.480
<v Speaker 1>just a much more of a conference than say an

799
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:28.480
<v Speaker 1>outdoor event. And even though we will have some outdoor

800
00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:31.800
<v Speaker 1>vendors at the New York conference, you know, in October,

801
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:35.760
<v Speaker 1>but like I say, there's other than those that and

802
00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:39.239
<v Speaker 1>and I know that there's one in New Jersey done

803
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:43.079
<v Speaker 1>by Cryptid Promotions, which is a good event. But other

804
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:44.960
<v Speaker 1>than that, there isn't a lot there, and you know,

805
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:47.239
<v Speaker 1>I thought, you know, like maybe we can get more

806
00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:50.000
<v Speaker 1>people to come out of the woodwork and talk about

807
00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:52.400
<v Speaker 1>their encounters out there. We're doing a town hall on

808
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Friday night before the conference. It's free and open to

809
00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:58.599
<v Speaker 1>the public, and we're looking for people from New York, Vermont,

810
00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:01.280
<v Speaker 1>a those surrounding areas would come forth and tell about

811
00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:02.119
<v Speaker 1>their encounters.

812
00:41:02.719 --> 00:41:05.280
<v Speaker 3>Now, of course, you've been at as a successful event

813
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:07.280
<v Speaker 3>for quite a while, for many many years out there

814
00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:09.800
<v Speaker 3>that sult fork the Ohio big Foot Conference. So you're

815
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:12.159
<v Speaker 3>taking some of you're going to model I'm assuming the

816
00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:15.639
<v Speaker 3>New York stuff after the Ohio event, I assume, right.

817
00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, of course, because I think the Ohio event

818
00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:22.280
<v Speaker 1>is a great success, you know, in terms of being

819
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:25.159
<v Speaker 1>an educational type event. I mean, like I said, I'm

820
00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:28.559
<v Speaker 1>i and I've known you guys for years, and I'm

821
00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:32.760
<v Speaker 1>big on educating people on not that Bigfoot exists, that

822
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:35.559
<v Speaker 1>that there's a lot of data out there that will

823
00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:39.519
<v Speaker 1>maybe sway you into the way to think, hey, maybe

824
00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:42.199
<v Speaker 1>there is a possibility of these things being real, because

825
00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:46.079
<v Speaker 1>I think that you shouldn't say they exist until you've

826
00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:48.559
<v Speaker 1>seen one, or until you've had some kind of encounter

827
00:41:48.599 --> 00:41:50.920
<v Speaker 1>that's changed your life and then you can go into

828
00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:53.880
<v Speaker 1>that wagon, and you know, so you try to educate

829
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:54.960
<v Speaker 1>them as much as you can.

830
00:41:55.559 --> 00:41:58.000
<v Speaker 3>So with all the year, all the years of running

831
00:41:58.039 --> 00:41:59.559
<v Speaker 3>the Ohio big Foot Conference, what are some of the

832
00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:02.719
<v Speaker 3>memories stand out to you about some of the maybe

833
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:06.280
<v Speaker 3>perhaps great successes if you can label them that from

834
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:08.880
<v Speaker 3>the conference itself, maybe things that you've learned, or special

835
00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:13.320
<v Speaker 3>speakers that you've had in attendance, or just surprises that

836
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:15.639
<v Speaker 3>you walk away going well, that was rad.

837
00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:20.119
<v Speaker 1>One of the best ones was seeing Robert W. Morgan

838
00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:24.440
<v Speaker 1>show up to the event and see Bob Gimlin for

839
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:26.679
<v Speaker 1>the first time. It must have been like thirty years

840
00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and to see the two of them talk, hug, shake hands,

841
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:37.119
<v Speaker 1>take photos and just chat with everyone was amazing. Also

842
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:42.840
<v Speaker 1>when Lauren Coleman was there one year, Tom Page came

843
00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:47.079
<v Speaker 1>and having Tom Pager and Bob was there that year too,

844
00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:50.039
<v Speaker 1>and it was just such a And so we inducted

845
00:42:50.079 --> 00:42:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Tom Page in the Ohio Bigfoot Hall of Fame and

846
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:54.880
<v Speaker 1>of course he was very you know, teary eyed over

847
00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:57.679
<v Speaker 1>it and emotional because you know, he knew that he

848
00:42:57.719 --> 00:42:59.960
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of contribution to the subject from the

849
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:02.960
<v Speaker 1>sixties and the seventies, but you know, now for him

850
00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:05.960
<v Speaker 1>to finally get recognition for it, I think him and

851
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:09.039
<v Speaker 1>his wife thought it was very special. And you know,

852
00:43:09.079 --> 00:43:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and that's the thing I like. I like to see

853
00:43:10.920 --> 00:43:17.679
<v Speaker 1>people happy, and you know, seeing the looks on people's faces, like,

854
00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:21.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'd never forget this one time, you know

855
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:23.880
<v Speaker 1>me because I'm running around everywhere in that place while

856
00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:27.239
<v Speaker 1>the event's going, and I walk into the front lobby area,

857
00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:30.239
<v Speaker 1>just coming around the benin and I look over on

858
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:33.159
<v Speaker 1>the chair and there's Bob Gimblin's there. And Bob had

859
00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:35.920
<v Speaker 1>got in maybe two hours ear and it was Thursday night,

860
00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I think, And as people were coming in, Bob would

861
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:41.760
<v Speaker 1>get up and say, Hey, are you folks here for

862
00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:43.159
<v Speaker 1>the fro the Bigfoot Conference?

863
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:43.360
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

864
00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:46.119
<v Speaker 1>Yes, well I'm Bob Gimlin. I'd like to thank you

865
00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:47.760
<v Speaker 1>for coming in. And he would sit there and just

866
00:43:48.280 --> 00:43:52.840
<v Speaker 1>thank people for coming to meet him on his own accord,

867
00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:56.119
<v Speaker 1>on his own choice. And to see someone like that,

868
00:43:56.440 --> 00:43:58.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean it just I knew what a genuine person

869
00:43:58.679 --> 00:44:00.920
<v Speaker 1>he was, but that just like, you know, hit the

870
00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:04.480
<v Speaker 1>nail home. I mean, like, wow, what a person. Then,

871
00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:06.960
<v Speaker 1>of course, you know, I you know, not to float

872
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:09.559
<v Speaker 1>your boats or anything, but like you know, finding Bigfoot,

873
00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:12.280
<v Speaker 1>that you guys coming. I mean, I remember the first

874
00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:14.480
<v Speaker 1>year you came. I remember the first year Bobo came,

875
00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:18.239
<v Speaker 1>where an A came, Matt came. I mean, just just

876
00:44:18.320 --> 00:44:22.639
<v Speaker 1>amazing to see the people respond to people they see

877
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:26.360
<v Speaker 1>they saw on TV. They respected, and you know what

878
00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I think. I think twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen,

879
00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:36.400
<v Speaker 1>and even twenty seventeen were some pretty special years. And

880
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:38.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, those are things I'll never forget. I mean,

881
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:41.719
<v Speaker 1>just just that. And of course the kids all watching

882
00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:45.480
<v Speaker 1>kids come and now they're young adults, and some of

883
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:48.880
<v Speaker 1>them now have families of their own, and they're coming back.

884
00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:50.159
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing.

885
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:55.039
<v Speaker 3>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and

886
00:44:55.039 --> 00:45:04.039
<v Speaker 3>Bogo will be right back after these messages. We do

887
00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:06.519
<v Speaker 3>have a lot of listeners who were perhaps kind of

888
00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:08.840
<v Speaker 3>new to the subject, or they're civilians so to speak.

889
00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:11.639
<v Speaker 3>They're not lifers that just enjoy the subject. They're ficionados.

890
00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:15.280
<v Speaker 3>So can you tell us briefly for their sake, who

891
00:45:15.559 --> 00:45:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Robert Morgan is, and then of course Tom Page.

892
00:45:18.519 --> 00:45:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Robert was known in the nineteen seventies to be doing

893
00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:25.480
<v Speaker 1>bigfoot research out in Washington State. He was He's originally

894
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:29.159
<v Speaker 1>from Seabring, Ohio, and he was out there actually trying

895
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:34.039
<v Speaker 1>to hunt bigfoot and actually, you know, obviously attain a

896
00:45:34.119 --> 00:45:37.599
<v Speaker 1>specimen to prove that these exists. And he had been

897
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:42.320
<v Speaker 1>doing research in Ohio before and after he you know,

898
00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:45.320
<v Speaker 1>went out west and he did research for people like

899
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Don Keating, I think even Matt Moneymaker he did some

900
00:45:48.599 --> 00:45:52.519
<v Speaker 1>research with in the state. And you know, he wrote

901
00:45:52.599 --> 00:45:55.239
<v Speaker 1>multiple books about the grassman I guess are what you

902
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:58.039
<v Speaker 1>call the forest people, I think he called them. And

903
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:01.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's kind of a legend in the community.

904
00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:04.400
<v Speaker 1>If you watch some of the old documentaries from the seventies,

905
00:46:04.679 --> 00:46:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you will see Robert Morgan's in a lot of those.

906
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:09.480
<v Speaker 1>And so let's just say he's kind of part of

907
00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:12.559
<v Speaker 1>the old Guard. And yet to this day, even though

908
00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:14.920
<v Speaker 1>you know he's not in the greatest health, he's still around.

909
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:16.000
<v Speaker 2>That guy. Yeah.

910
00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:18.679
<v Speaker 3>Of course in the old documentaries he stands out forbody

911
00:46:18.679 --> 00:46:23.480
<v Speaker 3>else because he is like Cubol Bold, completely bold. And

912
00:46:23.519 --> 00:46:26.880
<v Speaker 3>so if you have seen any of those nineteen seventies documentaries,

913
00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:29.880
<v Speaker 3>that he stands out in that sort of way. Tell

914
00:46:29.960 --> 00:46:31.480
<v Speaker 3>us about Tom Page, of course.

915
00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:34.239
<v Speaker 1>Well, and then Tom Page was one of the secret

916
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:38.239
<v Speaker 1>funders of the Tom Slick Expedition. Tom had access to

917
00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:42.159
<v Speaker 1>a lot of equipment I believe, including helicopters and things

918
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:45.559
<v Speaker 1>like that that helped fund these expeditions out in the

919
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Pacific Northwest that were headed by Peter Burn, John Green

920
00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:52.639
<v Speaker 1>to hind In all the famous bigfooters that we've learned

921
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:55.599
<v Speaker 1>to know and read about. And Tom was kind of

922
00:46:55.599 --> 00:46:58.159
<v Speaker 1>the guy that was behind the scenes, you know, help

923
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:00.559
<v Speaker 1>funding it and help, you know, help this success of

924
00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:03.679
<v Speaker 1>the event. And a lot of people didn't know anything

925
00:47:03.679 --> 00:47:07.000
<v Speaker 1>about Tom Bage too many years later after Tom Slick

926
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:10.800
<v Speaker 1>died and things like that, and so and here lo

927
00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:14.039
<v Speaker 1>and behold he lives in Youngstown, Ohio, which was like

928
00:47:14.159 --> 00:47:17.440
<v Speaker 1>amazing and uh. And then he reached out to me

929
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:20.239
<v Speaker 1>before one of the conferences and asked if him and

930
00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:22.159
<v Speaker 1>his wife could come down. I'm like, you guys, you

931
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:24.360
<v Speaker 1>guys got free seats, you got free dinner, you get

932
00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:27.400
<v Speaker 1>if you need travel money, it's it's on me. And

933
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:29.920
<v Speaker 1>so they came down and they were the nicest, most

934
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:32.920
<v Speaker 1>humble people. And you know, Tom passed away a few

935
00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:35.639
<v Speaker 1>years back, but but it was an honor to know him,

936
00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:37.920
<v Speaker 1>an honor to meet him, an hour to honor to

937
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:42.000
<v Speaker 1>hear his stories, like about slick about Patterson. You know

938
00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:46.639
<v Speaker 1>he like the Patterson's book company. Tom Page, I think,

939
00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:48.639
<v Speaker 1>is the one who funded the money to get the

940
00:47:48.920 --> 00:47:53.880
<v Speaker 1>get his first book printed. And so you know, Page

941
00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:55.360
<v Speaker 1>had a lot to do with a lot of things.

942
00:47:55.400 --> 00:47:57.880
<v Speaker 1>And like I say, he was a very nice and

943
00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:00.800
<v Speaker 1>humble man. And he didn't sit there and shoot off

944
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:03.079
<v Speaker 1>his mouth saying Bigfoot's real. This is that you No,

945
00:48:03.239 --> 00:48:06.119
<v Speaker 1>he was interested in the science aspect of the creature

946
00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:09.599
<v Speaker 1>and wanting to prove that these things do exist.

947
00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:12.599
<v Speaker 5>For people that haven't been with us very long. Mark

948
00:48:12.719 --> 00:48:15.239
<v Speaker 5>was our guest on episode one ninety one and he

949
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:17.079
<v Speaker 5>went through a bunch of that kind of stuff, the

950
00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:20.280
<v Speaker 5>history with like Don Keating and Ohio history and all that.

951
00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:21.280
<v Speaker 5>It's pretty interesting.

952
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

953
00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:24.800
<v Speaker 3>What episode are we on now? I don't know, Matt Brewoit,

00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:25.599
<v Speaker 3>do you know that number?

00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:28.159
<v Speaker 2>This will be episode three hundred and twenty six.

956
00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Who that's a long run.

957
00:48:33.119 --> 00:48:36.679

958
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:39.920
<v Speaker 4>we've done a lot in the last six years. But

959
00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:43.599
<v Speaker 4>I love the conversation we had with Mark the first time.

00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:52.800
<v Speaker 4>horn here again, like I love the Ohio Conference. It's

963
00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:56.119
<v Speaker 4>absolutely one of the best experiences every year. The fact

964
00:48:56.159 --> 00:48:57.440
<v Speaker 4>that you've got it laid out in such a way.

965
00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:00.239
<v Speaker 4>It's such a beautiful place, but everybody's under the same

966
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:02.679
<v Speaker 4>roof all the speakers and the attendees. It's just an

967
00:49:02.719 --> 00:49:05.440
<v Speaker 4>awesome weekend. So thanks so much for all the hard

968
00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:06.760
<v Speaker 4>work that goes into that every year.

969
00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Oh I appreciate all you guys helping support and promote

970
00:49:10.119 --> 00:49:13.480
<v Speaker 1>it because it takes a group effort to make something special.

971
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:15.960
<v Speaker 5>I know people were pretty stoked when I heckled that

972
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:17.400
<v Speaker 5>one year when I was giving my talk.

973
00:49:18.079 --> 00:49:23.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm, oh, yeah, you know, they love that. I got

974
00:49:23.039 --> 00:49:25.239
<v Speaker 1>some good Bobo stories, but I guess we'll save that

975
00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:26.039
<v Speaker 1>for another time.

976
00:49:26.519 --> 00:49:27.760
<v Speaker 3>Well, I don't know you got one that we can

977
00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:28.880
<v Speaker 3>tell into four or five minutes.

978
00:49:29.760 --> 00:49:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I do have one. The last time Bobo was out,

979
00:49:33.280 --> 00:49:36.599
<v Speaker 1>we left the lodge on a Monday, obviously to take

980
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:38.440
<v Speaker 1>him to fly out. I think his fight was about

981
00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:41.599
<v Speaker 1>six o'clock in the in the in the evening so

982
00:49:41.960 --> 00:49:44.840
<v Speaker 1>as we're driving out of the park, I'm like, well, Bobo,

983
00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:46.960
<v Speaker 1>are you hungry? And I looked over and he's already

984
00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:52.119
<v Speaker 1>passed out. And I literally drive two hours up to Cleveland,

985
00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:54.559
<v Speaker 1>and I stopped twice to look at a couple of

986
00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:56.840
<v Speaker 1>trees that I knew about, and the whole time he

987
00:49:56.920 --> 00:49:58.960
<v Speaker 1>just kept sleeping right through it. I left the car

988
00:49:59.039 --> 00:50:01.039
<v Speaker 1>running both times when I learned to look at the

989
00:50:01.039 --> 00:50:05.320
<v Speaker 1>trees with the air conditioning on. And then we continued

990
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:08.159
<v Speaker 1>on and I finally get back up to like the

991
00:50:08.199 --> 00:50:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Greater cleven every close to the airport, I'm like, you know, like, Bobo,

992
00:50:11.880 --> 00:50:14.280
<v Speaker 1>are you hungry? Just let me sleep a little longer?

993
00:50:14.360 --> 00:50:15.320
<v Speaker 5>Dude like that.

994
00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:17.199
<v Speaker 1>So I go, I'm going to go for a hike.

995
00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:19.679
<v Speaker 1>I park over near Berea Falls, which is an area

996
00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:21.639
<v Speaker 1>I like to park to go hike. And I said,

997
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:23.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go for I cool, go have fun.

998
00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:26.360
<v Speaker 1>And he falls right back asleep. The windows are open

999
00:50:26.440 --> 00:50:29.360
<v Speaker 1>and everything. I hike an hour and forty five minutes

1000
00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:32.400
<v Speaker 1>there and back come back, he's still hanging halfway out

1001
00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:36.039
<v Speaker 1>the car, sleeping away as people are coming and going everywhere.

1002
00:50:36.440 --> 00:50:38.840
<v Speaker 1>And then then of course it's like, are you hungry,

1003
00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:41.119
<v Speaker 1>and he finally said, okay, we'll go get something to eat.

1004
00:50:41.199 --> 00:50:44.119
<v Speaker 1>We went and had Mexican He barely ate like five bites.

1005
00:50:44.639 --> 00:50:47.199
<v Speaker 1>And then I take him to the airport. And then

1006
00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:51.199
<v Speaker 1>let's just say that when his flight was getting ready

1007
00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:52.719
<v Speaker 1>to leave, he gave me a call. He says, hey,

1008
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:54.559
<v Speaker 1>thanks for everything. He says, Oh, when I was in

1009
00:50:54.599 --> 00:50:57.719
<v Speaker 1>the bathroom, I took a good number two. It was awesome.

1010
00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:01.360
<v Speaker 1>And that was it. But no, uh, it was it

1011
00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:03.679
<v Speaker 1>was funny. I mean, just for the fact that I

1012
00:51:03.760 --> 00:51:06.360
<v Speaker 1>never saw someone sleep that long in a car.

1013
00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:08.119
<v Speaker 5>I didn't sleep the whole weekend.

1014
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:08.639
<v Speaker 2>That was well.

1015
00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:11.599
<v Speaker 1>And and that's and that's and that's the truth. And

1016
00:51:11.599 --> 00:51:14.960
<v Speaker 1>and I understand you just finally had had an opportunity

1017
00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:18.480
<v Speaker 1>to sleep and you literally just sleep slept for five

1018
00:51:18.519 --> 00:51:21.719
<v Speaker 1>hours in a car, and it was It was hilarious.

1019
00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:24.920
<v Speaker 1>And you know, like I say, we always wanted to

1020
00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:26.800
<v Speaker 1>have you back. Everyone I was always asked me, what

1021
00:51:26.880 --> 00:51:29.000
<v Speaker 1>are you going to get Bobo Beck, I said, you'll

1022
00:51:29.039 --> 00:51:31.719
<v Speaker 1>have You'll you'll have a better chance having a class

1023
00:51:31.760 --> 00:51:32.840
<v Speaker 1>a sighting than that.

1024
00:51:33.400 --> 00:51:35.159
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean, just look at Bobo. You can tell

1025
00:51:35.159 --> 00:51:36.320
<v Speaker 3>he gets a lot of beauty sleep.

1026
00:51:36.760 --> 00:51:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, of course he needs it, like, you know,

1027
00:51:39.519 --> 00:51:42.920
<v Speaker 1>fifteen hours a day, I guess so, uh No, I

1028
00:51:42.920 --> 00:51:45.360
<v Speaker 1>mean you know, like I say, I just appreciate all

1029
00:51:45.360 --> 00:51:47.519
<v Speaker 1>of you and everything that you've done for the conference.

1030
00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:50.480
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's been. It's been a it's a great run.

1031
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:53.679
<v Speaker 1>And uh I'm glad you guys enjoy it.

1032
00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:56.400
<v Speaker 5>When's the last sighting out of Salt Fork State Park?

1033
00:51:56.400 --> 00:51:58.400
<v Speaker 5>Because that place goes off. I mean I've never seen

1034
00:51:58.400 --> 00:51:59.559
<v Speaker 5>one there, but I've heard him there.

1035
00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:03.719
<v Speaker 1>There was a sighting like within three or four miles

1036
00:52:03.760 --> 00:52:07.599
<v Speaker 1>of there, maybe in the last few months, and it

1037
00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:11.159
<v Speaker 1>was your real a typical you know, the guy was

1038
00:52:11.159 --> 00:52:14.480
<v Speaker 1>walking back to a creek to fish or something and

1039
00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:17.039
<v Speaker 1>he saw something out of his corner of eye step

1040
00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:19.599
<v Speaker 1>behind a tree and then he you know, heard something

1041
00:52:19.679 --> 00:52:22.119
<v Speaker 1>walking away or skid and he could see like the

1042
00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:24.800
<v Speaker 1>outline of it, but it wasn't a real definitive one.

1043
00:52:24.880 --> 00:52:28.039
<v Speaker 1>Let's say, you know, the biggest problem with that bobo

1044
00:52:28.199 --> 00:52:31.480
<v Speaker 1>is that Salt Fork because everyone goes there to Bigfoot.

1045
00:52:31.559 --> 00:52:34.599
<v Speaker 1>That means everything is Bigfoot, and with all the hoaxed

1046
00:52:34.719 --> 00:52:37.039
<v Speaker 1>videos that come out of there, where people just have

1047
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:39.519
<v Speaker 1>their brother dress in a suit and you know, they

1048
00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:41.639
<v Speaker 1>film from up on a ridge and say, look, see

1049
00:52:41.639 --> 00:52:44.960
<v Speaker 1>there's Bigfoot at Salt Pork. It's like, it's crazy, all

1050
00:52:44.960 --> 00:52:47.519
<v Speaker 1>these hoaxes that go on. So you have to really

1051
00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:51.000
<v Speaker 1>really filter it down to only the real good data

1052
00:52:51.079 --> 00:52:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to even get anything legit. And not that there isn't

1053
00:52:53.880 --> 00:52:56.159
<v Speaker 1>legit things that happen, it's just the problem is when

1054
00:52:56.159 --> 00:53:00.079
<v Speaker 1>you have thousands of people looking for Bigfoot there, you

1055
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:01.920
<v Speaker 1>get all this misidentification.

1056
00:53:02.719 --> 00:53:05.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I met like someone like that you knew or like,

1057
00:53:05.119 --> 00:53:06.880
<v Speaker 5>you know it was a legit one, because I know

1058
00:53:06.920 --> 00:53:09.719
<v Speaker 5>there's times of be I mean, there's it's it's just

1059
00:53:09.719 --> 00:53:11.960
<v Speaker 5>the most squatched place in the in the world.

1060
00:53:12.280 --> 00:53:15.079
<v Speaker 1>It could be. It could be. It's you know, and

1061
00:53:15.119 --> 00:53:17.079
<v Speaker 1>if you look at that part of the state and

1062
00:53:17.079 --> 00:53:20.119
<v Speaker 1>and you know, and I've hiked everywhere through there, from

1063
00:53:20.199 --> 00:53:23.119
<v Speaker 1>lake to lake, all the finger lakes up there, there's

1064
00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:26.920
<v Speaker 1>so much water and so much forest cover that if

1065
00:53:26.920 --> 00:53:28.679
<v Speaker 1>I was a Bigfoot, that'd be the part of the

1066
00:53:28.719 --> 00:53:32.480
<v Speaker 1>state I'd be living in because I'm convenient to Pennsylvania.

1067
00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm convenient to the corner of West Virginia and the

1068
00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:38.639
<v Speaker 1>Ohio River Valley, and right then and there you have

1069
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:43.760
<v Speaker 1>a confluence of everything meeting, and it is fricking squatchy

1070
00:53:43.800 --> 00:53:45.480
<v Speaker 1>as heck down there, that's for sure.

1071
00:53:46.159 --> 00:53:48.320
<v Speaker 3>You've built a lot of memories for a lot of

1072
00:53:48.320 --> 00:53:50.760
<v Speaker 3>people in Ohio, and now you're starting in this new

1073
00:53:50.840 --> 00:53:55.559
<v Speaker 3>chapter helping out with the fledgling New York Bigfoot Conference.

1074
00:53:56.000 --> 00:53:57.800
<v Speaker 3>And I think it's just going to be a hit man,

1075
00:53:57.840 --> 00:54:00.000
<v Speaker 3>because there's really not much going on as far as

1076
00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:02.920
<v Speaker 3>conferences in that specific area. There's a whole bunch of

1077
00:54:02.960 --> 00:54:06.000
<v Speaker 3>bigfoot reports and the cat skills in general, including you

1078
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:08.280
<v Speaker 3>know the famous and New York baby footage for example,

1079
00:54:08.280 --> 00:54:11.360
<v Speaker 3>that wasn't that far far away from there. I'm really

1080
00:54:11.400 --> 00:54:13.840
<v Speaker 3>looking forward to this event and seeing how it grows

1081
00:54:13.960 --> 00:54:16.679
<v Speaker 3>and matures over the next decade or two. I mean,

1082
00:54:17.079 --> 00:54:19.519
<v Speaker 3>goodness knows how what kind of legs this conference is

1083
00:54:19.559 --> 00:54:20.920
<v Speaker 3>going to have. It could be around, could be one

1084
00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:22.599
<v Speaker 3>of the longest running ones ever for all you know.

1085
00:54:23.559 --> 00:54:25.599
<v Speaker 3>Because it's not too far from the city, right.

1086
00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Well exactly, it's probably a few hours from New York City,

1087
00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:33.280
<v Speaker 1>but it's out in the beautiful area. And like I say,

1088
00:54:33.320 --> 00:54:35.199
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of people I notice on the

1089
00:54:35.239 --> 00:54:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Facebook page, because there is a Facebook page New York

1090
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:40.119
<v Speaker 1>Bigfoot Conference, a lot of people are asking, well, what

1091
00:54:40.239 --> 00:54:42.599
<v Speaker 1>is the what is the admission fee costs? Well, the

1092
00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:45.440
<v Speaker 1>cost is to go see the speakers. There's gonna I'm

1093
00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:48.800
<v Speaker 1>We're going to have like a specialty door prize raffle

1094
00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:54.360
<v Speaker 1>with some really cool donated and rare Sasquatch and Bigfoot

1095
00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:57.800
<v Speaker 1>related items for people to win. And you know, but

1096
00:54:58.159 --> 00:55:00.599
<v Speaker 1>and of course you know, uh, it gives them you know,

1097
00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:04.360
<v Speaker 1>exclusive you know, seating to see all the lectures and

1098
00:55:04.400 --> 00:55:06.400
<v Speaker 1>everything like that, because like me, when I go to

1099
00:55:06.719 --> 00:55:08.360
<v Speaker 1>go to a Bigfoot event, I want to see all

1100
00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the lectures and which I never get to do it at

1101
00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:12.639
<v Speaker 1>my own events. So when I do go to them,

1102
00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:14.719
<v Speaker 1>that's what I do. I go see the speakers. I

1103
00:55:14.760 --> 00:55:17.199
<v Speaker 1>want to I want to learn. And if if folks

1104
00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:20.000
<v Speaker 1>want to learn on the New York Bigfoot and all

1105
00:55:20.039 --> 00:55:22.719
<v Speaker 1>the Northeast you know Bigfoot settings, you know, this is

1106
00:55:22.719 --> 00:55:24.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a good step to start at. And I

1107
00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:27.440
<v Speaker 1>think you should give it a chance and see what

1108
00:55:27.519 --> 00:55:29.800
<v Speaker 1>it's like, because it's going to be great. I guarantee that,
