Speaker 9: He how's it going, Amanda? You made it in time?
All right?
Speaker 10: I made it?
Speaker 11: Yes, I thought that I wasn't there for a second.
I'm rather late. I'm late for a very important date.
Speaker 9: What you did, y'all have a good time on vacation.
Speaker 11: Yes, yes, we had a great little mini vacation. It
was very very well deserved. And uh, I actually got
some interesting uh kind of bigfoot or not bigfoot, but
paranormal something that happened to me that I was gonna
need to need to share it with y'all that I
had actually with you yet.
Speaker 12: Well, yeah, that of a, that of a we can
talk about that tonight, because y'all tonight. You know, we
interview people from all over the place, and but we
do get out some and just recently a few weeks ago,
there was a meet and greet at the at Land
between the Lakes and at one time we had a
count of about one hundred and fifty people and a
lot of us knew each other. But there's people in
chat right here, like Robert Stanton. You know, I met him,
sat and talked to him, and me being crippled up
now you know, you know, it's not like I'm hiking
ten miles in the LBL. I've got a set up,
and for I'm gonna tell y'all what the setup is.
But we were referred to it as the tent, but
I have a ten by ten and we have three
sides we can put up on it, right, And I
had three sides the first night. Now we didn't stay,
we had a cabin. We learned our lesson last time.
We got freaked out. Something walked up behind her tent
and y'all heard that. But we we had it set
up and a dog pen said up and we'll we'll
talk about that. But we had we had some things happened,
and you and let me.
Speaker 11: A little bit with me. But I haven't heard all
of it, the details. So yeah, I'll be the audience
on this one tonight hearing all the good details about it.
I'm excited.
Speaker 9: Well, hopefully David Ellis is uh.
Speaker 12: He's got some audio that Spencer Jamison caught when some
of us we snuck off on Thursday night. There was
three trucks of the three vehicles and we went some
of the hot spots and we did catch some audio
really good. I'll tell about what we caught. Maybe we
can show that later when he gets finished with it.
Speaker 9: But when you when you.
Speaker 12: Listen back, the frogs were everywhere. We were close to
we're right on top of the water actually, But yeah,
you could.
Speaker 11: Hear the frogs in the background when you were doing
your life from there, but to me it sounded fantastic.
I love that.
Speaker 9: Well, Amanda.
Speaker 12: You know, backstage we were talking about frequencies and stuff
and Nature's soundtrack. It's just healing, you know, getting away
from social media, and you know we all use that
a lot, and it's just you have to you have
to break away from it sometimes. And I think regards
and and you have the perfect place, I mean where
you the area you live in is just absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 11: Sometimes you would have to get away from where I'm
at and go different go different places and see some
different ridges.
Speaker 12: Right, see what's on the side of the ridge. So
tonight we've got Gary Spikes, which everybody knows him. He's
a moderator from many many shows, does a great job.
And Lori lad, yeah, he does such a great job.
And Laurie, you know, she had sent me an email
and I asked her to come on the show. I
can't remember how long ago it was, but she was
I guess you was shy, but she's kind of I
guess she's got to know everybody and and she's she's
doing a good job. I've seen her on a couple
other shows, and so anyway we'll we'll get them in.
Speaker 9: Here and say how tow to Gary and Lorie.
Speaker 11: There they are.
Speaker 12: Bye everybody, Thank y'all for being here. We appreciate it.
You know, I don't know where to start, so I'll
start at the beginning.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 12: Now, y'all drove a long ways to come to the meet,
and Greek, didn't you? It was a Gary is in
Oklahoma and you're in Arkansas. So you know the l
B L for people that don't know, is in like
it's on the Tennessee Kentucky line.
Speaker 9: So we had people. We had people from everywhere.
Speaker 12: Showed up, South Carolina, Florida, George, Alabama, in Colorado and
just a great time.
Speaker 2: The thing about it is a lot of y'all have
already heard it. A friend of ours, she's in chat,
big put fans. Thirty three drove out of Missouri to
pick me up in my trailer, and then we went
to Arkansas, picked up Lorie and then came on too
LB Hill because my truck grouped in. And that's kind
of friends that is in chat right now.
Speaker 9: Yep, you know Gary knows this.
Speaker 12: There's been times where things have happened, and people take
care of people. You know, we won't bet you know,
it's just great people. I see a lot of people
in here. Let's start naming name. I'll leave somebody out.
But you know, if you were at the meet and greet,
h give a peace sign or say hey right now
in chat because there's so I recognize a bunch of them.
Hold on a second, sorry, y'all all right, So I'll
I'll start out with when we got there. We got
there really early. The Meat and Greek was officially Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday, leaving Sunday. Some of us got there on Tuesday.
And when I arrived, there wasn't there wasn't many people.
There was a few people across in front of us
and Bama, and a few people down close to the water.
And mister Tucker came up and was talking to Heather
and I and we hadn't seen him since the last
Meet and Greek two years ago. And I started smelling something.
Speaker 9: It was an animal. It was musky.
Speaker 12: And of course you know they have elk and they
have other stuff. But the the the bald eagles obviously
had either moved their nest or made another nest, and
it was up behind us, up that he'll and that
he'll will come into play here later. And there was
a crisp, clear tree knock, no doubt. It wasn't a mouthpop,
it wasn't rock clack. It was hardwood on hardwood, and
that was it. It was probably fifty yards way up
the hill. And as soon as I hear it, of
course I'm looking. But then I start scanning the campground, like, okay,
everybody's over there, everybody, you know what, probably fifteen people
with the most scattered out And I'm like, well, I
can't say that was anything, because that really was a
good one, but you just marked that down, like okay,
we had a smell coming off the hill and then
we had that happen. So then I'm gonna let y'all
pick up here, because what happens next I wasn't there for.
But so this tent that we had set up the
three sides at that point, I had the front facing
them where they were sitting, the side in the back
on And when we went to the check in at
the cabin, we didn't unload anything. We unloaded the table,
we set up the dog pen and that thing and
that was about it. When we come back the next morning,
we have like a people surround the truck and everybody
and who wants to start first on what was seen
at that at our setup?
Speaker 13: Well, first, yeah, I can tell you.
Speaker 10: What happened is when we got there Tuesday night, of course,
and I was we all got kind of around the
campfire and there was like a I don't really remember.
I know there was me, Gary and Cindy and I
think Sherry and Donna was out there and mister Tucker
and we were all sitting around the fire and I
just happened to glance over and earlier some may said
that was your tent over there. Now there's nothing but
a table and chairs in this three sided ten and
the dog then and I look over and there's this
white light and it's between the dog pen and the
front of y'all's tent, so in that little gap. And
I mean, it was definitely not a firefly. This was
a big, round or looking thing. And I turned and
I said, do y'all see that? And look back, and
it's gone. But about that time, this awkward green orb
just shows up and it's about midway in the middle
of the side of the tent, but down towards the ground,
and I'm thinking, okay, and then about that time, but
everybody by then when I had asked about the white light,
that everybody was already looking. So all eight, nine, ten,
I don't even remember how many of us, but when
we were sitting around the fire, and all of us
seen it, and I think it was there for I
would say maybe a minute, and it went out. Then
it came back, same color, same place, same everything, and
it went out.
Speaker 11: What was it moving around while it was doing that?
Speaker 13: I was I don't know.
Speaker 10: It stayed in the stayed in the same spot, same color,
same same everything, and it did this I would say
three to four.
Speaker 7: Times and then just disappeared.
Speaker 10: And I was thinking, wow, I didn't need to get
a picture of that, But I'm thinking electronic device.
Speaker 13: There's something in there.
Speaker 10: But to this day, I went back and I've looked
at every gadget I own, and there are only a
green light if it's empowered, on a red light if
it needs charging or or such. But I've never seen
anything in that color on any kind of an electronic thing.
There was others that went over and looked around and
there was nothing there's nothing in there that could have
even made a light.
Speaker 12: So I don't know, we haven't even raked the leaves
out and put the tart down.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 12: And when they asked, do you have anything in there
that can make a light, I'm like, there's nothing there, y'all.
And uh, there was, well, there was a buddy heater
without a tank on, and there was a few propane,
little green profane tanks, but that was it. And that's
the first thing I think. Laurie asked me, do you
have anything in there that's electronic?
Speaker 9: I'm like, no, y'all.
Speaker 12: Come, y'all, come on up here, you know. And you
know when they look, there's nothing. I mean, we haven't
got set up yet. So that was that was strange,
but with the past experiences at that place, it didn't
shock me in the least.
Speaker 10: If I think, and I read what William Nighthawk said
about that, because I was so curious about this aqua
green orb that I he was. He was on another
podcast and I heard him specifically say aqua green, and
me and Gary both was like, what do he say?
Speaker 13: What he say?
Speaker 10: So I contacted him and this was his response. He said,
from my boots on the ground and research and encounters.
Each supernatural entity is represented by a color or two.
Green or blue is an angelic color described in the
Book of Adam and Eve coming from the heavens to
retrieve Adam's book from the heavenly Father that was cast
into the ocean waters. From my research, it is my
belief that these colors are for a specific purpose, which
could mean it's aquatic, divine or supernatural energy which makes
it more helpful or less harmful for the initial visitation.
You did not imagine this. It is a real description
of past biblical events and my own personal accounter and research.
If color changes to a more aggressive color like yellowish
orange to red, it is not a good thing.
Speaker 7: And that was what he had said.
Speaker 10: And he said, be sure to tell that there are
many orbs of many different kinds. But that's what That
was my question about the awkual green color, And that
was his answer, which I think is very fascinating.
Speaker 11: That is very fascinating, especially considering you're literally right there
beside water.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and there's a cemetery what set up on the hill.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well I got up and went up here
and looked Roger. Uh, you know, we all did the
next day. But that night, after we saw it, I
went over and looked. I shine light all in there,
and the only thing even on that side of the
tent was that buddy heater and there's nothing on it
that could reflect anything. So there was no reflection, what's all,
whatsoever off of that in my light. They said, my
light wasn't reflecting back towards them.
Speaker 9: It wasn't showing through the and in these sides of all.
You know, you buy them at Walmart. They're gray, and uh,
they fit pretty good.
Speaker 12: Uh, but they're not They're not that thick, you know,
and for for something to show up behind it, I
can see that. But it I thought about it, and
and Laurie, you sat on another show. Oh I wish
I'd got a picture, But I think you did the
right thing by pointing out so you've got like seven
or eight witnesses or more that saw the same thing.
Speaker 9: To me, that's better than a picture.
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, I agree. I was actually going
to bring that up, so I think you had mentioned
that either last week or something else, that Yeah, that
was actually to me more corroborating evidence than a picture,
because let's all be real, you can take a picture.
I can take a picture out here, like say, I'm
out here in my yard and I got like one
hundred fireflies. I'm like, oh my god, it's so pretty
and I want to get a picture of it. It's
not going to show up just right, or it's going
to look like, you know, a twinkle, and people like,
it's just a picture of yard. There's nothing there, you know, pictures.
That's how we end up with quote unquote blob squatches
and pictures. So like when people try to get pictures
of Bigfoot and like, it's standing right there.
Speaker 9: So it's funny, you can go along with it.
Speaker 11: But at the same time, I think that, you know,
having the other witnesses is actually better in my opinion,
because then you have all those people who all saw
the exact same thing in the same thought.
Speaker 10: Somebody had even somebody had even told me about the
white light. Now this is really weird, y'all check into this.
But someone had told me that a lot of times
that the white lights might actually be a remote viewer.
Speaker 11: Oh that's actually interesting. You know who did that, Jessica Joseph.
Speaker 13: I don't know that.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, you could ask that's who I thought of
about that, but I'm not I haven't had a chance
to ask for that. But that was very interesting because
I don't know, I don't know, just just just saying, well.
Speaker 12: It's it's good to have an open and curious mind. Uh,
just like you contacting the gentleman that sent you that information. Uh,
there's a lot of people out there that have a
lot more experience than I do, and that's how we learn.
So and you know, just last Friday night, Peyton and
I went out. You know, we call it boogering, but
it's sitting in the truck, shutting it off. And we
don't walk in those dangerous woods because it's too rocky
and it's too many things we could step off into.
Speaker 9: And at one point we didn't hear anything odd.
Speaker 12: But at one point I looked to my left and
there was the woods like twenty yards away and there's
a cedar tree that I don't know, twenty foot maybe bigger,
and all of a sudden, this flash behind it, like
somebody took an old school camera and took a picture.
This the backside of this thing lit up. It was
dark in the front, and it was just a quick
white flash, white bluish flash and I and it was
so quick, I said, Peyton, I just saw flash. So
he's looking over it might be a helicopter. No, right here,
I mean right here, not up in the sky. Then
a few minutes later in the corner he saw one,
and then the third one he saw was about thirty
forty foot up in the tree, so whatever it was
was moving in the woods. And that rules out what
do you call the drone? I can't remember that, you know,
so you're trying to rule out things and he said no.
He told me the angle and everything. And in this
place that we've seen ors before, we've seen orange, we've
seen white that looked plasma type, and.
Speaker 9: I don't know what's going on there.
Speaker 12: There's a lot of rock exposed rock, so you know
it could be quartz and all. But anyway, that happened
Friday night, and it's getting to the point now it
doesn't freak me out because the more we learn about
these things, now, the red ones in South Alabama, I'm
not going back to that place because everybody that's been
there has a weird feeling.
Speaker 9: And I've been.
Speaker 12: Twice and I'm not going back. Something's off at that place.
But as long as you know, I feel like you
trust your gut, you know, if it makes you feel
icky to stay away from it. That's my that's my
official stance on that.
Speaker 11: I don't necessarily blame. Yeah, it definitely gives you itchy
fence bigfoot fans. Thirty three here has a good comment
that says, do you think that the orbs are communicating
with one another by glowing different colors? That's actually a
really neat theory.
Speaker 12: And I talked to a witness here in this county
last year or maybe two years ago.
Speaker 9: Now. They saw a red, a blue, I think, a white,
and a greenish one and they were like dancing around
and spinning in the in the field and they're in
a really creepy area and it's not far from here.
But I don't know.
Speaker 12: But Laurie, you know, we've heard one of your favorite
hold on, let me show this right here. What does
this guy right here always say?
Speaker 9: Yeah? So she was.
Speaker 12: Laurie was excited she got to meet mister Ron moorehead
and uh she was. She was really excited about that.
Now I haven't got to meet him yet, hopefully one
of these days I will.
Speaker 9: We've talked to him. It's different.
Speaker 12: I've met him before, so Amanda bringing up blob squatches, y'all.
Speaker 9: I saw Gary.
Speaker 12: I was standing behind him when he took the picture.
He took the picture picture at the exact right time.
He had his finger over the red button. And we'll
show that. But first, I was sitting in a chair.
Gary is at my eleven o'clock, standing there, and I'm
a people watcher, and I saw him. His chin lifted
and his eyes got as big as silver dollars, and
his mouth dropped open, and he said, there's one looking
at us, at me right now, or something like that.
I'm like, what, And I'll let Gary tell tell the story,
and we'll switch back and forth and tell what happened.
But go ahead, Gary, and I wanna I want to say, yes,
I understand folks when you send pictures and you saw
a movement.
Speaker 9: But go ahead, Gary, ill turn it over to you.
Speaker 2: Well start with. You gotta understand that I'm always teasing
Roger by saying, Roger, there's one behind you, back there,
watching you, and he comes on glued.
Speaker 12: Well, Well, when I pulled up, I hadn't got I
hadn't been out of the truck five minutes.
Speaker 9: And I think it was. Gary said, there, you got
one up there watching you. I said, better not be. Yeah,
I don't believe he was teasing. Go ahead, sorry now, I.
Speaker 2: Always tease him like that. I went up here. I
don't remember. I walked up her to talk to him
about something. And I'm standing. Wendell's sitting in a chair there,
Roger's sitting over here, and I'm standing to sign a tree,
and I feel one up on the rig. He's looking
at us. Yes, I don't sounds weird, but I can
feel where they're at. So I started looking in that direction.
All of a sudden, I see it.
Speaker 9: I said, Roger is going up there and y'all, and
he wasn't playing the I looked at body language. His
chin dropped, his mouth dropped open, his eyes got that big,
and he rocked back right. So I knew you wasn't playing,
but go ahead. Sorry.
Speaker 2: Well, he come over behind me and he said where
I don't see it. He kept saying where I don't
see it, and he said, point at it. He got
right here behind me, and I took my left hand
and two fingers and pointed at it and said, it's
about forty yards up there. He started saying, well, I don't,
and then all of a sudden he just said, oh,
and I'm not saying what he said.
Speaker 9: Do do?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, about the time he said that it was
it was tree peeking. This is what it was doing
and picking up behind that tree. Well, I don't want
made me think of it. I normally don't even try
to take the pictures, but this time I couldn't help myself.
I just grabbed my phone and got up there and
was ready, and when it peeked out, I snapped shot.
Speaker 12: I think, Gary, I thought about that, Uh, from the
time that you said there's one up there looking down here,
and yeah, the first thing.
Speaker 9: I thought I knew he was I knew he.
Speaker 12: Was showing stressful signs. But my first thought and that
Gary knows this. I'm honest with Gary. I thought, no way,
not not out here in the open, all these people.
But we do know that what's behind us. There's a
lot of stuff has happened. And so I get up
and he's right, I'm like pointed out. He walks, He's like,
see that tree, and then that tree and then that tree,
and I think I'm looking at the correct tree. But
Gary had enough time, you know, when you see something
and you don't have time to get your camera out.
He didn't have time to get his camera out the
first time. Now we're sitting there and I said, Gary,
I don't see it. You gotta He said, you gotta wait.
Maybe he'll peek back out from behind that tree. He's
hiding behind a tree. And again I'm at no way.
And he pulls his camera his phone up and I'm
right behind him and he zooms in on this tree
and I'm like, okay, I've got the right tree. And
I said it again, Gary, I don't see nothing. Needs
to just hold on. And of course he don't know
if it's going to do it again, right, y'all. All
of a sudden, this all happened in a split second,
something big and brown and Harry.
Speaker 9: Looked like a look like a head.
Speaker 12: Uh, it looked like a head peeked out, maybe a
little bit of a shoulder. I saw brown, and I
saw what look like women's highlights, like lighter brown around
the what might be the facial area. Now, y'all, I
can't I d and say it definitely was a bigfoot,
but I don't know what else it could have been.
And so yeah, I reacted to it, and when it
looked out, it peaked it went right back behind it,
but it did a double take. It came out again
like wait, there's two there now, you know, kind of
sort of and I'm stunned. But but when it peaked
out the first time, I saw Gary hit that red
button and then went snapped.
Speaker 9: So let me let me show y'all what he caught.
Speaker 12: And I understand y'all everybody now that sends pictures and
said they saw one sold movement and this is the
type of stump squatch you get.
Speaker 9: But I saw it happen, so I'm gonna stand behind it.
Speaker 11: And when I was saying bob squatch earlier, I didn't
be in that injury.
Speaker 9: I don't know. No, I just no, don't don't, don't apologize.
Speaker 11: I almost say that to the listeners as well.
Speaker 9: Right, and you're right. And the thing is, it's so
hard to get a clear picture.
Speaker 12: Uh it, Gary hit the red button on movement and
after this here it peeked back behind the tree.
Speaker 9: Now he we did is he did a good job
trying to get another picture.
Speaker 12: And after this tree is that dark black? So I
put a yellow arrow on the tree. Now at the
bottom there was a stump. Because we did go up there,
there was a there was a but that's not what
it moved, y'all. It moved and looked out at us
and peeked back. So y'all can take it for what
you know. You can make your own judgment or whatever.
And like I told before, Gary and I are the
only two that know. You know what we saw now after.
Speaker 9: I did. It's something out of character for old Roger.
Speaker 2: Yeah, out of character the word for it.
Speaker 12: I went in after and I was, I was. I
wasn't trying to catch it. I was wanting to see
what it was.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 12: What I saw looked like a show. It had been
a left shoulder and the crown of a head. And
as I'm walking up through there, I'm slow. I'm trying
to hurry, but I can't. I hear something. There was
a fallen tree up the hill, laying at an angle,
and I heard something take off behind up behind the tree.
But it went up at an angle to the back
of the crest and it either stopped or it went
over the crest, I don't know. So I did find
a fern about that beer with like six shoots on it.
Maybe seven was flat and the one of the stems
is broken. There was water, it was it was fresh.
It was right now fresh. So I stopped. Gary went
back and I'm telling this right. Gary went back and
you told Spencer right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, showed him the picture. He uh started up into
the woods. He got up in there a little ways
and he turned around to come back, and he had
my car my phone the whole time looking at my
phone and comparing it to the trees up in there.
But he come back, and he went and got a tracker.
Speaker 9: Eric Tipton was there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ill, you can say the name, since you do well.
I got Eric.
Speaker 9: Had to write it downll.
Speaker 2: You might have had permission. I didn't have permission to
say his name, and I won't say their name.
Speaker 9: If I don't have permission, I might be in trouble.
Speaker 2: They he went, got Eric, and they went back up
in the woods, and I followed him as fast as
I could, which was they were already up every by
the time I got halfway, of course, but they got
up there, and then when I got there, they were.
Eric had found a boulder about a little bit better
than a softball that had been turned over and the
napp side was pointed up. He said, that's definitely where
something stepped. And I said, hey, look at the leaves
right up through there, and pointed away from them up
through there, and you could see impressions in the leaves
where he had stepped and what they say four and
a half foot apart on the steps something like that,
I can't remember.
Speaker 9: And going uphill at the time.
Speaker 12: Yeah, on that rock that was moved, which you can
tell the leaves were wet. It separated it from where
it had been sitting for probably years. But behind it
there would look like a heel impressiant and Eric put
his foot down there. He had a twelve boot, so
they're guesstimating about a fourteenth about approximately fourteen inch impression and.
Speaker 9: It was wide.
Speaker 12: And then so I told them, I told them before
look when you get to that log up there, I
heard something go this way. It wasn't running, but it
was in a hurry and it was covering some ground.
It would add size to it. So when they got
up there, Spencer and Eric and I was following along slowly,
you could see disturbances running at the angle that.
Speaker 9: I had told them.
Speaker 12: So I think that that was important to getting that
information to them before we got up there, not after
the fact.
Speaker 9: Well that's the way I heard it run.
Speaker 12: But I knew when I saw the first impression and
the fern and all that. I'm like, I stopped because
I used to track my cousin and I would call,
you know, they would.
Speaker 9: Call us, hey, we've got a deer down. We need trackers.
Speaker 12: We didn't use dogs, and it was fun for us,
just like solving a puzzle. So what I would do,
I would find what I needed and I would stop.
He would go to the next one, and you kind
of look in at arc around and you also look
for dublin back and all that. But we we tracked
wounded deer a long ways at times and ended up
finding them, and it was it.
Speaker 9: Was just fun. So I know a little bit about it.
Speaker 12: But so when I saw this, I stopped and I
turned around to look, and Gary had already uh talked
to Spencer, and here he was coming up. Now I'm
glad they were there. I'm glad they came up in there.
And we can't we can't definitively prove and say, hey
it was a big foot, but we've got enough evidence
that it points that direction.
Speaker 2: Now, and there's more to the story.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 2: Gary. Well, after while y'all were up in the woods,
I came back out and you know my gift. A
lot of people in chat know about my gift. Well,
it was the thirteen year old juveniles what it was
what he told me, and he was aggravated at me
for giving him up.
Speaker 12: Well, I tell Gary, I tell Gary all the time.
We have discussions and it's hard for me to wrap
my head around some things. But the more I do this,
the more something seemed plausible. And look he he said
when he said that, he said like teenage years. Then
I got to thinking, you know what it was like
it was playing peekaboo, you know what I'm saying. It
just didn't lean out all all alpha like and like
stair us down.
Speaker 9: Whatever it was.
Speaker 12: It peeked out, jumped back like it had been caught,
and then peeked out again to make sure it was
maybe send the two of us or maybe Gary looked
like he grew because I was behind him, So uh.
Speaker 11: Like, okay, this one's got two heads now.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's like what in the world. And so it
did look like a childish tight movement. I know that
doesn't make sense to some of you. But the more
days we get away from it, I think the more
it sets in with me. What happened right away, I
was kind of stunned, and I think going up in
there with Spencer, Gary and Eric and us kind of
methodically doing what we could helped. But sometimes when these
things happen, it takes a while to process it. Right now,
I don't know what my mind would have done if
it was stepped out full body, but I was thankful
that I got up and could see when Gary the
very second he took the picture, I saw if I
sitting down, and Gary knows if I'd been sitting down,
I'd have been like, I don't know what that is.
Speaker 9: Gary, But now like, good job.
Speaker 12: I think because we had time, Gary, I think because
we had time to think about it.
Speaker 9: He said, oh, I might be able to get a picture,
and he grabs that phone.
Speaker 2: But that it's hard to fathom. He forgave me. He
knew I got excited because I actually got to get
a picture. So he told me later that it was
okay that he forgave me. He didn't go very far.
You were right. He run across that ridge and he
stopped over there about fifty yards away and hid mind
a tree and started to washing what y'all were doing
up in the woods.
Speaker 9: And y'all, this is not.
Speaker 12: This is not uncommon for the area for land between
the lakes.
Speaker 9: We heard stories.
Speaker 12: We've had people of course, you know, we found we
found legit tracks, We've we've audio you name it, sightings.
Speaker 9: We've had people on here that that talk talk about
the sightings.
Speaker 14: It.
Speaker 12: I don't know, I don't know where to put it.
Y'all make your own decision. Uh, but I wanted to
tell the story with Gary. That's why I didn't bring
it up, uh by myself. So uh and you know,
Spencer on Woodwalkers, he told his side, y'all can go
watch that from a.
Speaker 9: A few weeks ago. Uh, they'll be on the title.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a Sunday after we got Max. So
it would have been the twelfth, no, okay, would have
been the would have been the nineteenth.
Speaker 12: Okay, So y'all we go check that out. You can
hear his side of the store, worry and being clear Spencer,
you know, and Eric's not saying hey it's big Foot.
It's like, oh wow, this is pointing towards that, and
I was just thankful for them to coming up there
and and and.
Speaker 9: I get it.
Speaker 12: It's like, oh, yeah, y'all were at a big foot
y'are hanging out talking about big foot, and it's all
big foot.
Speaker 9: I get it. I get it. But but also, yeah,
we're there not.
Speaker 11: One of the biggest hot spots in the US, you know,
and all kinds of commotion and everything. So they're, probably,
like I said, being nosy, like what are they doing?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 11: But that's what I envisioned in my head. As y'all
are retelling the story, folks and chat are asking to
see the picture again.
Speaker 9: So okay, so here's here's all right?
Speaker 12: There it is, I don't know the the rounded part
at the lower part. I kind of feel like that
was the head peeking out, and I've zoomed in on it,
and it when you zoom in on it, and it
kind of looks like a face.
Speaker 9: So Heather can see it. Other people have seen it.
But Gary was quick on the trigger with that one.
Speaker 12: He but he was looking through the he was looking
into the if I'm not correct me, If I'm wrong, Gary,
you were looking at the screen and there too, And
when you saw movement.
Speaker 9: You had it already on him and you snapped the picture,
so yeah, I was waiting on him, so it did exactly.
Here's another thing, think about this. So Gary says he's
peeking around the tree, but he's hiding behind the tree,
and I'm doubting it.
Speaker 12: And then it does it. It does exactly what he
said it's been doing, and it does it twice. So
you know, like I said, take it for what it's worth.
Speaker 2: I was just glad I wasn't the only one that
saw it. And then Spencer and Eric went up. Eric
and backed us up by saying there was definitely something
there and it was gone.
Speaker 12: Yeah, And Spencer had your phone and he looked at
the tree and didn't see any There went a burrel
on the side of the tree that it was a
small tree to start with, but there wasn't anything that
could cause that. And in the other picture you see
there's nothing there. I do know even I saw it,
and I can't really tell you which is which, and
that's what's bad. It's with some of these pictures. Now
I don't know what to think. So anyway, that's that's so,
you know, and then you you know, the first night.
The weirdness started, well while we were alive on Thursday night,
they started seeing eye shine while.
Speaker 11: We remember that actually, and.
Speaker 12: I'm like, well, y'all, it's starting already. There's other things
that happened there. And but I'll wait and see if
those people want to tell it on other shows or whatever.
Speaker 9: But I've talked to.
Speaker 12: People privately that there was there was things moved, there
was things put and you know, Gary probably knows what
I'm talking about. And it was it was a wild
it was, it was wild. I'm gonna lost for word, j'all.
Speaker 2: There's more to the night. We had our trailer taken.
Laurie and Cindy was in the trailer. They it shook
the trailer to night. And then when you were doing it,
right after you did your life, there was a shine
right up there in woods. And I'm not the only
one that saw it. That other guy saw it too.
Speaker 9: Was it Randy Brooks?
Speaker 14: No, h.
Speaker 9: Mike is Mike Smith?
Speaker 12: Maybe Pyro because it was it was kind of behind
Pyro's tint.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was right there around his past
his tent.
Speaker 9: He was he was almost he was almost in the water.
Piro is so funny. He's cool.
Speaker 12: I love it, dude. So oh man, where do we
go with the everybody try?
Speaker 9: I don't know. It's such a weird place because you've got.
Speaker 12: I found out that they have elk running loose in there,
and I'm like, we already drive like thirty miles an
hour at night going and now now I'm gonna do
fifteen because I don't want it an elka.
Speaker 9: I know, I know we had.
Speaker 12: So Thursday night I went to Spencer and I'm like, hey,
you know the meet and Greek officially starts tomorrow. One
of us round some people up and go boogering. So
he got Coombo, Spencer, his best friend, Anthony, Sherry Renault, uh,
mister Tucker, Debbie and Larry Porch and men Heather and
with three vehicles and they put me in the middle
because you know, I didn't know where I was at.
They they didn't want to get me to get lost.
And we pulled up the first location.
Speaker 9: And we had we.
Speaker 12: Had a military helicopters keeping an eye on us constantly.
Speaker 9: Uh during the live Yeah, we have flyovers. So we
stopped at the first place.
Speaker 12: Cumbo gets out and does a couple of calls and
Spencer catches three wolves on thermal on the left side,
and then you know, we don't hear any responses. We
get to the second spot and there's there's water and
I don't want to give the location, but there's water
running north and south okay, And he did Cumbo does
a call. Spencer's recording and we're all being quiet.
Speaker 9: To the north east.
Speaker 12: I'm gonna guess some coties went off and it was
it was cool.
Speaker 9: He did he did it. He did another call and
some coties on the south west side went off, and
that was cool. He did it.
Speaker 12: Again, and all of a sudden, two high pitched boogers
started at the same time. And when they got up
to their apex of the call, you know, that tails off, y'all.
Obviously I've never heard of alpha male before. When this
thing started hollering deep and light, everything shut up. The
two boogers, the high pitch ones, cut their call off.
He went up, continued his and tailed it off. And
Koombo looked at me after, and I was so proud
of everybody because they just they locked down. Was letting
the recorder do his job, and Koombo looked at me.
He said, those are boogers. I'm like, no, I didn't
know the word.
Speaker 9: But Spencer when we listened to it, had a lot
of frogs in it, and uh, Spencer can do cleaning
up and stuff. I said, hey, let me let me
see send it to David and see what he can
do with it. So yeah, when he when that gets back,
if it's if it's something we can show that's that's
good quality, then we'll play it on here.
Speaker 11: So but uh, yeah, that would be really interesting to hear,
for sure.
Speaker 9: And they were having prescribed burns and everything. Uh y'all.
I went to grab some pictures and I don't have
my pictures, but I do have some.
Speaker 12: I do have a couple. Laurie was having a big times.
You want you want to you want to tell us
who's in this picture?
Speaker 13: Laurie, Yes, that's Bama.
Speaker 10: Now, Bama was one of the first people that kind
of approached me, and he was so cool and he
had Moose with him, and of course I fell in
love with Moose. I just I got to babysit, so
I'm now Moose's aunt. But this is behind is Cindy,
which is Fans thirty three that's in the in the
chat and of course Kombo.
Speaker 7: So I got to meet Koombo. I was so excited.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 12: The hard thing about Coombo is getting him to talk.
He's real shy.
Speaker 13: Yeah what did I just hear it snort in the background.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, I love love Coombo.
Speaker 9: Uh and and Bama.
Speaker 12: We we talked to him uh Man, probably for three
hours and he was telling stories from when it from
his old job and my son and his girlfriend and
Heather and we were just sitting around laughing and some
of it.
Speaker 11: What episode in general here on the show is over
three hours.
Speaker 10: Yes, Sol Bama's really cool and he's a real approachable guy.
Speaker 13: You know, he really is.
Speaker 10: He's just just at first I thought, who is this
stuck up guy named Bama? That's like camping way over
there on the other side of the lake, and you
know what, and then of course he's always over there.
But it was just it was funny because he was
just trying to get some audio without the background noise
because we were pretty rowdy over there.
Speaker 2: I have to admit, well, Roger, yes, sir Koombo, I
want to tell what kind of person Kumbo is. Everybody
knows he loves to tell his stories and everything. The
type of person. Him and his wife are. Two years
ago in Alabama. Combo and his wife brought me all
the way home to Oklahoma when they live in Alabama,
so I could go into the hospital. Fat been for them,
I wouldn't have lived. That's the type of person Combo is.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and y'all.
Speaker 12: They y'all can attest to this when you're there. I
don't like big crowds either, but everybody there has good
energy there.
Speaker 9: They look out for each other.
Speaker 12: If somebody needs any if you need anything, well, I
called Gary or I was did I call you and
ask if y'all need anything?
Speaker 9: No? I call Billy.
Speaker 12: I call Billy Shilling. I said, hey, we're about to
leave the cabin. Do y'all need anything? And he said, Gary,
he needs the back of ice.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 12: The Heather's like, and I didn't tell Heather, And I
got this big bag of ice. She said, we're gonna
put that in the cooler. Said, oh, this is for Garry.
But it's like everybody does that when they go to
the grocery store. They'll call other people like, hey, you
need anything while I'm here? Uh, And it's just it's
just uh, it's it's we say it all the time.
It's like being amongst family, but we say it.
Speaker 2: To your family.
Speaker 12: It is, it's it's I don't know if it's because
we have things in common or.
Speaker 9: And that's another thing. Sometimes I think about it. I'm like,
what about it? If it's these people would calm.
Speaker 12: Energies drawing this stuff, like that group that you were with,
Lorie when y'all saw the orbs all, all of those
people are chill. You know, they're they're so laid back.
Now they fight a bear for you in a heartbeat.
But everybody's yep, wait.
Speaker 10: A minute now, wait a minute now. Spencer was ready
to throw me to the bears.
Speaker 9: If y'all remember, well that'sus Spencer.
Speaker 12: Yeah, y'all. I can't see comment right now, but thank
you all.
Speaker 9: Yeah. Oh man, ms Berby is something else.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 9: I feel like she's my aunt.
Speaker 11: Now she's everybody's aunt.
Speaker 13: She was down there.
Speaker 10: Did y'all catch her racing the e bikes? You know,
Cam's grandson was with him and she was out there
racing the e bikes. I'm telling you, I've seen it.
I witnessed it with my own eyes, but I didn't
get a picture.
Speaker 9: Well, uh, she's talking about Cam cam Buckner and his grandson.
He Cam.
Speaker 12: Of course, y'all they don't know has Dixie Cryptids and
uh uh he's he's so, he's so laid back and
she will and he'll play practical jokes too, so you
have to watch him. Verbie had a she rented a scooter,
didn't she. I believe she's yeah yeah, and uh at
the racing, I thought she was going to jump some
stuff one time and I'm like, oh, Herbie, don't do that,
but no, yeah, it's.
Speaker 9: What what did laurd? What did you think you? Was
your first trip trip to a meet and greet?
Speaker 13: Right, mm hmm what?
Speaker 10: I felt like I was at a family reunion because
it was really weird. I'd never been to anything like that,
but it's like I knew everybody from all these chats.
So it was really strange because I would not approach
people like that, or I can't. Really I am kind
of shy. I mean people may not know that, and
Gary shut up, but anyway, but it's like I wal,
you're so and so, and you're so and so and
and everybody was so welcome. It was hugs and and
and like you said, the vibration there was so high
with everybody, and I felt like I was at a
family reunion. I just started talking with people, and I'll
tell you what. Larry and Debbie Porch showed up, and
I thought Elvis had done came. You know what I'm saying,
because I love thee I love these people from way back,
and I was just like, oh my god, I wonder
if I could just go over there and just say hi.
And they were the cool they were the coolest people.
But everybody was so yeaht here I.
Speaker 9: Am, and y'all.
Speaker 12: Larry Porch was when Martin Newbell, who saw dust be'st
TV and Debbie you know we've.
Speaker 9: Interview heard before.
Speaker 12: She's they're great friends, they're cool people. Uh she's Sisters
of the Moon. Uh uh just men, men and Debbie.
We were out there, we were we were all calling.
We went to this location and of course Coombo's rules,
we have to point everything out in case we have
to make a quick getaway, which I didn't argue.
Speaker 9: I'm like, yeah, I don't want to be second line.
Speaker 12: But we go to this play and Heather stays in
the truck and she's really good at hearing things, so
she's kind of you know my ears. Sometimes while I'm
standing at the end at the back of the truck
and Debbie standing there and Kumbo's doing his calls and
we're listening, and I went, I started, I said, Debbie,
smell that, and I think she thought I was talking about.
Speaker 9: A booger at first. S as you smell that smells
like marijuana, I said, yeah, it does.
Speaker 12: So somebody might have been camp cause see in the LBL,
you can now don't go get in trouble check on
it first. But the way I understand it is, if
you don't go to a campground, you can just pull
over in a field and primitive camp anywhere you want to,
so you can go with a tent and just you know,
do do your thing. So it could have been somebody.
But we didn't see any cars. We didn't see any vehicles,
so we kept getting this weird It hit us three
times and finally went away.
Speaker 9: But what was funny.
Speaker 12: Cumbo's grandson or great grandson, I can't remember what he said,
made him a whistle and he blows this whistle and
it's piercing. It's like, wow, I said, that thing, it works,
don't it. Oh yeah, we heard on those no, No,
Peyton's got one of them. I told him keep that
thing in Tennessee, don't bring it up there with us.
Uh So he we heard a response way away and
I'm like, that sounds familiar.
Speaker 2: What is that?
Speaker 12: Then we had another response. Uh these two things were
separate from each other. But then Anthony, I think on
the third time, Anthony said, those are elk I'm like
they are I'm like, are they running wild? Because the
sanctuary is in the north End and we're you know,
we're not in the North End, and uh so you
don't know what you're gonna run up on out there.
So just you know, if anybody goes, just be careful.
Carry people with you. Carry two vehicles at least. But
I got to see their roads, y'all. They'll be as
full of roads, and uh at night everything looks different.
We we looked like a recon team with uh koombo
spreading out maps on the hood of our truck. And
they got like flashlights in their mouth, and like, I
wonder what the military might.
Speaker 9: Think we're up to. But it was a great time.
It was It was awesome. One night, Gary, you uh
what see the animals around there? Don't care that you're there. Gary,
did you hear.
Speaker 12: Was where the big the big Cowti pack was that
close to you that almost come into camp with us.
Speaker 9: Remember the night they started going crazy?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that they were up in the woods back behind us. Hm.
Speaker 12: Well, so while we're here and I've got Gary on, uh,
we'll we'll tell you something from two years ago. Yeah,
we had we had a tent set up. He probably
knows what I'm fixed and say. We had a tent
set up opposite Lurid. We were were, you know, opposite
where I was this last time. And that's why I
wasn't over there again. And so if you go down
towards the bathroom and then to cut in there, Uh,
I was asleep. A lot of y'all have heard this,
but I heard something walking in the woods.
Speaker 9: It was very big.
Speaker 12: It was it was stepping on big sticks, falling branches
and just it didn't care. People at the fire was like,
what is that?
Speaker 9: What does that get?
Speaker 12: The thermals where they couldn't see it because there was Bill,
it was our tent, Neoma, Finn cam Buckner, and then
on the other side it was Billy Shilling, Wendow Moseley
and Gary was down.
Speaker 9: There and everybody.
Speaker 12: Everybody heard it, and it comes with Fred three feet
of my nose, and it's congested breathing, and I'm and honey,
I was so proud of her. She let out a little,
a little light growl, and I reached down and touched
her on the rear end. She was into bed with us,
and when I did that, she quit. She said, Okay,
Daddy's wait. So I didn't know what Daddy was gonna
Do you know, if we'd had a dog that would
have started barking, we might not be here right now.
I don't know what it was, but but Gary, tell
them what y'all found the next day behind the tents.
Speaker 2: We heard it walking behind the tents, but we found
a twenty four inch track, fifteen inch track, and three
ten inch tracks.
Speaker 11: Oh wow.
Speaker 12: And and y'all, if you remember some of our previous shows,
the Noble Red trackway and the trackway that I accidentally found,
there was what looked like a large male, what looked
like a big female, and too smaller individuals with tracks. Now, Garry,
what you just described sound like it possibly could be
the same group. And we, as a crow flies, what
do you think we're probably were a mile or less
half a.
Speaker 2: Mile as crow flies less than a mile. Yeah, yeah,
and it I think it was the same group. They
just add Now one of the little ones wasn't with them.
Speaker 9: Well, one of the the one that got so close
to us in the tent, actually bumped into Naima Fen's car.
Speaker 12: Of course, y'all got to realize, it's it's pitch dark,
there's a fire, what twenty five thirty yards away, And
when it bumped into her car, she was sleeping in
a car and she thought it was me out relieving myself,
she said, I almost as a joke, I almost flipped
my lights on to scare you. And I'm oh my god,
I wish you had us. But yeah, that's why. And
if anybody says, oh, Roger's scared to sleep at the campground,
that's why.
Speaker 2: Uh what you're not saying either. We call it the
meet and freeze because there were two inches of ice
of snow when it was seventeen degrees.
Speaker 9: That's that's why I knew all standing in the cabin.
Speaker 12: But I brought brought plenty of propane and two buddy
heaters in case somebody else needed them. And I told
Billy and I think I told and then Gary has
this nice camper now, so he didn't need them, but
I put the word out anybody gets cold, but we
had nice weather this time, so yeah, well I.
Speaker 2: Had a heater too. I had a buddy heater with
all the propane bottles, and I had extra tints the
whole nine yards.
Speaker 9: And Gary.
Speaker 12: And and Laurie, y'all, y'all been to now. I'm not
saying about any about anything, but the difference between a
meet and greet like that out in the middle of
nowhere and a conference, it's two different things. They're both good.
What did you like about the meet and greet over
a conference? And not saying the conferences, I'm just saying
is they're different. One thing that I like about it,
I'll point out the crifted and bigfoot knowledge that was
there was astounding because there's people we haven't even mentioned,
like like these two goofy dudes here. That's that's Robbie
Rains and Dot And I'm like, I'm like, dude, did
you just like he said, man, you ain't get a
serious picture for me. But everybody's having fun, you know.
It's and I wished I had the picture the group picture.
Everybody's not in it, but it was so many people
we couldn't even get a close up picture.
Speaker 11: And we were still there's like one hundred of y'all
in that picture.
Speaker 12: It's stack like five six deep, you know. So just
I'll ask y'all, maybe not what you like better, but
what do you like about both?
Speaker 9: If that makes sense, go ahead.
Speaker 10: I I think I like to meet and great a
lot better. I mean, the conference stuff is okay. I
mean the only thing I've been to so far before
that was I went down to the Monster Fest and
foul Arkansas so I could meet Gary and fans thirty three.
Speaker 13: And the other one that I was going to ride
with it.
Speaker 10: You know, it might be a good idea to meet
the people before you get into the vehicle with them,
you know. So I went down there. But it's more
of a vendor type thing, and the meet and greet
was like personal. Like I said, it was like you're
meeting your family and stuff there, and you'd go around
and be like, hey, look at these pictures, and hey,
listen to these sounds, and you know, and hey have
you met so and so? And you din't it and
everybody was just together. It was I don't know, it's
too hard to explain it. But it's not that way.
At a conference, you sit in a chair, you listen
to a speaker, and most of the time they're owning
off the stage and you're waiting for the next person.
So neither you've got to go chase somebody down just
to say hello, or if they have a booth or something,
you might be able to approach them, but otherwise you're like, well,
where do they go?
Speaker 13: They're gone?
Speaker 7: You know, it's not it's not it's not the same.
Speaker 12: It's more of a relaxed setting. And what I was
impressed with the first time, and we've been a few
now on different locations, but when you meet the people
that you meet uh at you know, the Woodwalkers actually
put this on. Everybody acts like they do on their shows.
They're not putting on, they're not putting up a front.
Speaker 9: They're not acting. What you see is what you get,
you know.
Speaker 12: And and to me that's the impressive thing, because it's
you don't never know until you meet somebody, you don't
you just don't know, you know, are these people acting?
Are they're really good people? And I don't think we've
had anybody we have. You know, if you get one
hundred and fifty people together in this county right here,
the law will be there in ten minutes. Something's gonna happen.
Because but I think the respect, I think that's the
probably the big thing. The respect, the sharing of picture,
the sharing of knowledge. Lourie, you could you could have
walked up to anybody and had a legit question and
they would have answered it the best of their knowledge,
you know. And it's not it's just wonderful.
Speaker 2: Gary.
Speaker 12: You're the star of the show. I mean you you
everybody knows you. And I think did I meet you
the first time two years ago?
Speaker 2: There? No, I think it was the one before that. Okay,
that was my third time up there for a meet
and great.
Speaker 9: Man, it's y'all if you get a chance. I don't know,
it's hard to find a place. Let me tell you.
Let me tell you what happened. So years before, when
it's set up, it was quick and easy.
Speaker 12: Uh yeah, you contact the park Service. Spencer had to
contact somebody in an office in Washington, d C. This time,
and it was really strength. It was just a lot
of things, a lot of questions and rules that you
can't do and it just changed. I don't know whether
it changed because so many people started focusing on it.
And here's another thing. So all of the helicopter activity,
I know, Lord, you were there early in the week.
There was one particular night where we couldn't hardly talk
because you know, yeah, and they would come and circle around.
And I had somebody say, uh, why are they keeping
an eye on us? And I thought, yeah, that's what
I was thinking. And I thought, wait a minute, what
if they're protecting us because.
Speaker 10: Not all that that was on the live that was
on the live you did from there too, Yeah, one
right over the top of us.
Speaker 12: And the one that when all of us were out
on Thursday night, it it came right almost to us
and it had a light that was alternating.
Speaker 9: Knew and these are not just regular helicopters. These are
the bad boys.
Speaker 12: So this is speculation, But think about this. The government
now not wants to know who's there. They want to
know where you're at, how long you're staying. And these
things circle the campground. With the stories that we've heard
from the LBL land between the Lakes. For people that
don't know, what if, what if they're protecting us. What
if they're checking on us? What if they're emitting some
kind of sound. Because y'all know this, I won't get
too far into this, but there were several dogs there
that wasn't acting like theirselves. No, mine included, mine included,
and flat Rock Boo was not acting like himself. I
saw another lady have to take hers back because it
was the weirdest thing ever. Now, when we got back
to the cabin, oh, they was all wagontails and you know, so,
I don't know. I can't say for sure, but with
the changes that came along, that kind of makes sense
to me. Now that might be all BS.
Speaker 9: What Doug said on his show Unconfirmed BS.
Speaker 11: But for entertainment purposes only.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yep, for entertainment. He's going to come up with
some bumper for us for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I want to show this picture, and I really don't
want to because I look like I've just ran a
marathon and these guys are holding me up.
Speaker 9: And I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know
if Spencer's.
Speaker 11: Tickling like you got your hand Cutt and the cookie jars.
Speaker 9: And Greg and Spencer's great, great people. You can see
the setup. Greg cooked. Oh man, we we ate good.
Tyro cooked.
Speaker 12: And there was other people cooking to Miss Pat. She
always cooked good food and we just had a great time.
Is there anything you know? I don't want to keep
y'all too long. Is there anything y'all would like to
I know there's some things Laurie wanted to say, and
we'll let her go with that, and then Gary, uh,
if you want to after that, anything you like to
tell people, or.
Speaker 13: Okay, well I won't.
Speaker 7: I won't make it a long drawn out thing that
I had just posted.
Speaker 10: I was in the hospital and I was due for
a lung bopsy, which I told my doctors.
Speaker 7: I said, I'm going to.
Speaker 13: The l BL.
Speaker 10: We're not doing this till after the l el Ain't
nothing stopping me from going. So two days after we
got back. We got back that Sunday. So Tuesday, I
go in for a lung bopsy, and of course I
knew that it was a possibility, but it punctured my lung,
so I ended.
Speaker 7: Up in the hospital. It was over a week and the.
Speaker 10: Night before surgery, at eleven o'clock, you know, the surgeon
come in and said, okay, well, we're going to do
surgery in the morning, and I just got online because
I had posted about this deal and I was just nervous,
and so I got on there and asked for prayers
on Cedar Creek, bottoms, marking Becca and Woodwalkers and just
so forth, and I got all these different, you know,
prayers sent my way, and one in particular dissent, and
that just said, you know, I'm going to be there
with you in spirit, you know, open your heart and
your mind to receive all of this, and in your
dreams you'll be healed.
Speaker 13: And so it was really kind of strange.
Speaker 7: I thought, wow, okay. So I went to sleep and woke.
Speaker 10: Up that morning and the surgeon standing at the end
of the bed like, are you okay? And I thought,
oh god, here's a near death experience they talk about.
Am I really hears It's really happening. And I'm looking
at her, Yeah, I'm fine, And do you notice anything.
Speaker 13: I'm like, no, I don't.
Speaker 7: She said, well, you're not bubbling, and she said because
the machine, as long as it's bubbling, there's a leak.
Speaker 13: And so that was the point of surgery. So she said, well,
we're going to cancel surgery.
Speaker 10: I'll come back about noon and if everything's still good,
clamped off my hose.
Speaker 13: Three o'clock, removed the hose.
Speaker 10: And I'm telling you everybody, the power of prayer is real.
And that's all I can say, and thank you, thank
you to everyone out there. I know how many people
that prayed, and I'm giving my prayers right back as
much as i can to those that need it, because
it's it's definitely it works. And Gary, we're saying prayers
for you too. We helpe your health gets better. And
that's that's what I had said about that, it's the
power of prayer.
Speaker 9: That's that's awesome. I had you.
Speaker 12: Here's what you don't know. You had that group of
people that you met. There was messages being sent. I
got a message, Hey, you need to pray for Laurie.
She's not doing too good. Oh man, I just saw
her like a few day years ago, and they were
telling us. And of course, so of course, you know,
sent prayers right away for you, but there was people
that had just met you. People were sending messages to
each other, Hey, Lourie needs your prayers.
Speaker 9: So that's I felt it.
Speaker 13: I mean I did. I felt it in my dreams.
It was really weird.
Speaker 10: I mean I can't really I can't really recount the dream,
but I woke up feeling absolutely peaceful, just like everything.
Speaker 7: I mean almost like I had never even been in
the hospital.
Speaker 14: It was.
Speaker 10: It was really really strange, and I felt really good
since coming home. I mean power prayer people. That's all
I'm saying. Thank you everybody that sent your prayers. They
are most appreciated. And I can tell you right now
it worked well good.
Speaker 9: I'm glad you're feeling better.
Speaker 2: Gary.
Speaker 12: We'll let you close this thing out and I'll tell
everybody the people that want to stay.
Speaker 9: I do have a song to play, so we'll let Gary.
Speaker 2: Everybody's probably tired of hearing me thought no you know, no,
no never sa. Same thing as with LORI. I have
to thank everybody for their prayers because I'm starting to
get some good results from tests. I went and had
my kidneys checked again the other day and they've gone
from fifteen percent functionality getting close to dialysis, they're up
to twenty six percent. Oh wow. And my heart has
improved from forty two percent functionality up to sixty three percent.
Prayers work, and don't I will never believe that nobody
will ever convinced me they don't. Praying for each other
is the best thing we can do, and that's what this,
just like you were talking about, the meeting greets is
a family getting together. Everybody prays for everybody there at
the Yeah.
Speaker 12: I oh, I'll let you finish, but we're not done.
I'm gonna let Laurie tell what happened at the meet
and greet. That was amazing talking about the people there,
about your laptop, But go ahead and finish.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, the conferences are nice and yaw. You get
a lot of your friends together at those conferences, but
like Laurie said, it's fenders and that's I spend all
my time at the conference, setting at the table selling stuff.
So you meet a lot of people, but they're all strangers.
They're not you're part of your family, at least not
yet now some of them, Like at the last conference
I went to last September, I met several people that
are now part of the family. So you know, they
do become part family. But it is the meeting greets
are closeness where the conferences are, and that's I don't
know any other way, like y'all said, no other way
to describe it. It's just a family reunion, and we're
gonna have to figure out a way to keep doing it,
even if we can't go back to l B L. Right,
which I love l B L. I know you don't,
and I also love Talladega, but you don't. So we're
gonna find somewhere to meet.
Speaker 12: I don't mind l B L. I don't get bad
in some of the areas, I do get creepy feels.
Speaker 9: But now it's you know, just just like two years ago,
year and a half ago, whatever.
Speaker 12: Uh at Menville we met Chad and Erica Black for
the first time, and look they're you know, they sat
and listened to Greg tell stories for hours that seemed
like and they were just enthralled and uh interested in
the subjects and had questions and you know, they were
there at the at the meet and greet, and every
and everybody fit in. But Laurie, can you tell can
you tell the audience what the people that don't know
what happened at the meet and greet about the laptop deal?
Speaker 9: You remember, I'll tell it. Uh you you remember it
when I said, well, Gary's laptop took it, uh it died?
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, And so people took it upon themselves to
go around and I'm not saying this to it just
shows you the type of people weren't around and collected
money and without Gary knowing it, and then presented him
out appreciation for helping all the shows, presented him with
enough money, uh to get a laptop right here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sitting here on it right now.
Speaker 9: And I turned up.
Speaker 2: You're not the only one.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 9: And Erica, she she did a great job.
Speaker 12: She's she's kind of shy, but she got up there
and spoken from everybody. And man, I was sitting there.
I was trying to wipe you know, I got a
little misty eye and everything. And then somebody else said
something that I had.
Speaker 9: To go to the tent. I'm like, oh, man, I
can't take it. So but it was a it was
a good thing, you know, and for everybody did that,
you know, thanks uh it just.
Speaker 2: Thanks everybody that helped, because, like you said, my laptop's
history and without it, I can't mind the shows, you know. Yep.
Speaker 9: And I think you said.
Speaker 7: I said, if he needs another one to mark, I mean,
how many can you do it? One time? I don't
understand that.
Speaker 12: Gary, Gary, I was fixing the tell a lie on
you thinks say? He said his was so old he
had a kickstarted but.
Speaker 2: Had windows seven on it.
Speaker 3: He told me that.
Speaker 9: I mean, how old was I when that was out?
That was crazy. Anyway, y'all, thank you too for coming on.
Thank you Gary for recounting. You know, it was an
amazing thing. I'm glad.
Speaker 12: I'm glad I got up and I'm glad I saw what,
you know, the whole whole thing.
Speaker 9: So I still don't know.
Speaker 12: If I can say it was definitely a big foot,
but I can't think of anything else that would that
would do that, that would peak out like that.
Speaker 9: And I appreciate you getting the picture.
Speaker 2: Laurie.
Speaker 9: Thank you. I you know, I know it's tough for you.
Speaker 12: I'd ask you own and a while back, and we've
been a little bit shy, but you know, welcome to
the family. And thank you. Thank you for the pecan.
She gave me a whole bag of pecan. Y'all from Arkansas,
And I ate him sitting here sometimes, but but we
appreciate y'all. And we're gonna we'll we'll let y'all go,
and y'all, uh, here's what we're gonna do. I picked
a song for tonight. I'm proud of this one because
this one's about I was one Saturday morning. I was
coming down the hall and Heather doesn't have a poker face, right,
and she was a little perturbed at me. And I
know im either think I'm really glad she don't, cause
I can tell what mood she's in whatever, And so
I got to thinking about it. I sat down on
the couch and wrote this song about her and kind
of me, and so her not having a poker face
kind of adds to it a little bit. But I'm
gonna play it, and y'all, if you want to listen
to him, look up Eli Coulter on YouTube. It's free
on YouTube and in Spotify and iTunes. I know it
sounds like a sales pitch, but it's free, y'all. I mean,
and I appreciate everybody that does.
Speaker 9: Listen to them now, and then once it's over, I'll
play the outro and we'll let everybody go. Thanks for
everybody that showed up tonight. We really appreciate y'all.
Speaker 11: Yes, thank you everybody. We had over one hundred and ten,
one hundred and fifteen at one time, in the life,
So thank you very much.
