Speaker 1: Hey, you there, thanks for tuning in. You're ready for
Speaker 1: another episode of My big Foot Sighting.
Speaker 2: All right, then let's do this.
Speaker 3: Seen a bunch of rundown no horse towns, where the
Speaker 3: church at the backbone, laws and the bow and the
Speaker 3: fasting melodies coove in with the bomb man rose with
Speaker 3: the roofs run deep beyond the nose of the.
Speaker 4: Busy streets with the songs of the South of su
Speaker 4: Then when I hear the promp porch picking down home
Speaker 4: rhythm bringing out I Don't Run from Banjung music.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you've had a Bigfoot sighting and would like
Speaker 2: to be a guest, please go to my Bigfoot Sighting
Speaker 2: dot com and let me.
Speaker 1: Know at Smike vash On again from the main Bigfoot Foundation,
Speaker 1: I was on the last week's episode, number two fifteen.
Speaker 1: This is a continuation the second part talking some more
Speaker 1: about my encounters that I've had over the years. I
Speaker 1: went through quite a few of them last week. I
Speaker 1: didn't sit down and count all of them yet, but
Speaker 1: I got some more for you this week. And you know,
Speaker 1: there's some interesting things that a lot of people haven't
Speaker 1: seen that I've seen over the years. We are full
Speaker 1: nonprofit up here, so we do. I do quite a
Speaker 1: bit of an independent investigations on my own, going out
Speaker 1: in the woods and you know, looking for the evidence
Speaker 1: and stuff. But I seem to have this this magnet
Speaker 1: drawn to me that brings these things into my view.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just the sixth sense of
Speaker 1: knowing and being aware of there's something else out there.
Speaker 1: I tend to pick up on things that most people don't.
Speaker 1: You know, you drive down the road, you see something
Speaker 1: on the side of the road. You don't even think
Speaker 1: nothing of it. It's an animal. You turn, you know,
Speaker 1: away from where the animals coming from, and you can
Speaker 1: get on by, and you keep going down the road.
Speaker 1: Twenty and fourteen, April of twenty and fourteen. It might
Speaker 1: have been October October of twenty fourteen. April of twenty fourteen,
Speaker 1: I also had an encounter. But yeah, October of twenty
Speaker 1: and fourteen, I was traveling to work. I was working
Speaker 1: nights at the time, right here in the town I
Speaker 1: live in and Maine, and I take a road the
Speaker 1: back roads to go to work, and I was on
Speaker 1: a road that has a quite a steep s curve
Speaker 1: in it. You come in like at the bottom of
Speaker 1: the s turning to the right, and it makes kind
Speaker 1: of a half loop and then start slooping back the
Speaker 1: other way before straightening out. And I'm coming down that road.
Speaker 1: It was probably about twelve thirty at night when I
Speaker 1: was headed into work, and you know, foggy. You know,
Speaker 1: moon was out clear, the skies were clear, but it
Speaker 1: was a foggy day because of that air the way
Speaker 1: it was. During the course of the day, there was
Speaker 1: some you know a little bit of rain. The clouds
Speaker 1: had gone overhead. They had just cleared out. The skies were,
Speaker 1: you know, you're clear. I could look it up and
Speaker 1: see the stars and the moon and stuff at them.
Speaker 1: I come through the bottom half of the stern and
Speaker 1: I come around the top half, and then I'm straightening out.
Speaker 1: As I'm straightening out. When you start straightening out out
Speaker 1: of the sterns, there's a long straight away with a
Speaker 1: field that's probably about twenty yards wide on the right,
Speaker 1: and you know, a huge field with a farm on
Speaker 1: the left hand side. Now that those two fields, the
Speaker 1: deer come across that little short field on my right
Speaker 1: hand side, which is heading west, and you often see
Speaker 1: the deer come out of there and they go over
Speaker 1: into the big field across the street to the south,
Speaker 1: so they go from north to south, and I'm coming
Speaker 1: out of the stern, the upper pot of it, and
Speaker 1: straightening back out to where my headlights are pointing straight
Speaker 1: down the road. They're not illuminating the field on my
Speaker 1: right anymore. They're not illuminating the field on my left
Speaker 1: except for maybe five yards into the field on each shide.
Speaker 1: And I'm running low beams because of the simple fact
Speaker 1: of you know, it's foggy. So I come out of
Speaker 1: that s turn into the straightaway, and as my lights
Speaker 1: are coming to straight and out, I can see a
Speaker 1: shadow out in the field, and I'm thinking, dear, so
Speaker 1: I slow down. And now, mind you, this field on
Speaker 1: the right is only twenty yards wide. And as I'm
Speaker 1: coming to straighten back out, I look and the shadow
Speaker 1: that I was looking at, I can see there's a
Speaker 1: house just beyond the end of that field. And there's
Speaker 1: like apple trees and pear trees, which I've talked to
Speaker 1: them people before and they said the apples and the
Speaker 1: piers pairs disappear off the top of the tree, and
Speaker 1: you know, the trees are like eight to nine feet tall.
Speaker 1: And you know, they never thought anything of it. But
Speaker 1: as I'm coming, I'm using those trees to measure the
Speaker 1: height of what's in the field on the right, and
Speaker 1: I suddenly see a pair of yellow eyes, probably almost
Speaker 1: twelve inches apart from each other, you know, they're the
Speaker 1: eyes are literally about twelve inches across, you know, at
Speaker 1: the sockets. And I'm looking at this thing, and it's
Speaker 1: glowing its sides yellow, and I'm watching it. I slow
Speaker 1: right down, and I'm watching it go from a standing
Speaker 1: position where I'm judging this thing. The height of this
Speaker 1: thing in the field is roughly, you know, maybe a
Speaker 1: foot less than the trees where the pears and the
Speaker 1: apples are, if even that, because it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: an uphill slope. And I'm looking at this saying and
Speaker 1: I'm slowing right down, and I watch it. It goes
Speaker 1: from a standing position all the way down to a
Speaker 1: crouching position, and then it just the eyes are just
Speaker 1: looking at me, glowing. Now my headlights are straight ahead,
Speaker 1: and this is off in the field to my right.
Speaker 1: You know. Now I'm closing the distance. I'm maybe twenty
Speaker 1: yards east of it, and it's only like fifteen to
Speaker 1: twenty feet off the road, and I watch these eyes
Speaker 1: go all the way down and then I see the
Speaker 1: eyes start lowering, like looking straight down at the ground,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the thing crouches right up
Speaker 1: and turns into what would look like a you know,
Speaker 1: a pile of brush or a giant rock in the
Speaker 1: middle of the field. I'm driving by, and I got
Speaker 1: the window down now and I'm looking out, and I
Speaker 1: just I knew what it was. I said, you know,
Speaker 1: going to work, I'm running late as it is, so
Speaker 1: I just I kind of didn't even do anything except
Speaker 1: for having my phone. I tried to snap a picture
Speaker 1: of it, and I said, I see you, and I
Speaker 1: snapped a picture, and I yelled out the window, A
Speaker 1: good thing. I don't have time to stop. As I
Speaker 1: continued by, I was, you know, literally at that point.
Speaker 1: You know, when I snapped the picture, I was probably
Speaker 1: about fifteen feet from this thing in the field, and
Speaker 1: you know, I knew what it was, but I just
Speaker 1: I didn't stop because I had to get to work.
Speaker 1: And I went on to work. I had snapped the picture.
Speaker 1: I was hoping that it came out good, because you know,
Speaker 1: of course i'm driving, I'm trying not to pay too
Speaker 1: much attention. The picture did show a shadowy type fixture,
Speaker 1: but I didn't It kind of looked like a brush
Speaker 1: pile when I looked at it the pictures later, the
Speaker 1: one picture I did take it, and it was, you know,
Speaker 1: right there. I went off to work. I told the
Speaker 1: guys at work what I what had happened when on
Speaker 1: my way in, and they kind of laughed and chuckled
Speaker 1: at me, and you know, you are the crazy big
Speaker 1: foot guy, you know, I was told. I just wrote
Speaker 1: it off and I went and did my job, came back.
Speaker 1: It was probably about nine o'clock in the morning. Well,
Speaker 1: I drove back to that location and I got out,
Speaker 1: and I walked to the edge of the road, and
Speaker 1: you know, I knew how far it is it was
Speaker 1: in when I passed by it from the road, so
Speaker 1: I kind of get out. I looked at the photo
Speaker 1: I had looking at. There was no brush pile there.
Speaker 1: You know, It's like, there's no brush pile there, So
Speaker 1: I know what I'm seeing, you know, And I just
Speaker 1: get out and I look all right on the edge
Speaker 1: of the road, there's like a little drainage ditch there
Speaker 1: and in the drainage ditch. I got a partial footprint
Speaker 1: with the toes, and you know, of course the grass
Speaker 1: was matted down. They had mowed it at the end
Speaker 1: of the hay season, and it was you know, it
Speaker 1: was matted down. So I could see a distance of
Speaker 1: about five feet back. There was another impression. I went back.
Speaker 1: I could see what looked to be the full footprint,
Speaker 1: and I could look back towards the woods some more
Speaker 1: and I could see about five six feet back. There
Speaker 1: was another impression, and you know, there was only two
Speaker 1: to three impressions between the one on the you know,
Speaker 1: edge of the road where I got just the toes
Speaker 1: and you know, it was five feet five feet five
Speaker 1: feet and that was at the woodline. And then you know,
Speaker 1: I couldn't see anything else after that. But I found
Speaker 1: the tracks, probably about nineteen inch long tracks. So you
Speaker 1: know that that was one of those situations where you're
Speaker 1: just driving down the road and a normal person is
Speaker 1: just gonna overlook that. So then I, you know, I
Speaker 1: kind of just said, okay, I know what that was.
Speaker 1: And a normal person would have just overlooked at you know,
Speaker 1: a deer or a bear or something. You know, they
Speaker 1: would but you know, when you're standing up and you're
Speaker 1: looking at a pair of eyes that are looking at
Speaker 1: you and they're glowing. They're you know, roughly twelve inches apart,
Speaker 1: and you know they're they're up there, you know, about
Speaker 1: seven eight feet those eyes looking at you. That's not
Speaker 1: a dear. So I just kind of mocked it all down,
Speaker 1: you know, tried to bring the picture to better resolution.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get the resolution just right no matter what
Speaker 1: I did. It looked like a rock or you know,
Speaker 1: a or a brush pile in the field. And there
Speaker 1: was no brush pile there, so, you know, no rock there.
Speaker 1: I just that was in an encounter. And you know,
Speaker 1: October of that year, Now back back up to April
Speaker 1: of that year, we had a late snowstorm. I had
Speaker 1: worked overnight and I was leaving work, and of course
Speaker 1: I come down the road and there's a curve in
Speaker 1: the road that kind of goes somewhat The road goes
Speaker 1: northeast and then makes this curve and goes no, goes
Speaker 1: northwest first coming down, and then you come around a
Speaker 1: curve and you're going back north northeast, and on that curve,
Speaker 1: you know, it's quite an embankment that goes down over
Speaker 1: and I'm coming down the road. It's snowing out, late
Speaker 1: season snowstorm. This is the beginning of April. And I
Speaker 1: kind of look and I see what looks to be
Speaker 1: a person crawling up out of the ditch. And I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: oh my god, somebody's gotten an accident, you know. And
Speaker 1: I'm going by and this person is what I was
Speaker 1: thinking at the time, is just crawling up to the
Speaker 1: top of the ditch. And you know, so I took
Speaker 1: a quick spin around. There's a little road right then,
Speaker 1: and I took a quick spin around, and of course
Speaker 1: when I took the spin around, I'm looking in the
Speaker 1: mirror and I see it standing. The person stand up
Speaker 1: and they walked across the road and into the woods,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what in the And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: that's not good. Where are they going? You know? I
Speaker 1: turned around, and of course I realized at that point,
Speaker 1: you know, judging from a sign post behind me that
Speaker 1: it was it was taller than, you know, six feet,
Speaker 1: it's probably closer to eight feet. When it walked stood
Speaker 1: up and walked across the street. And I when I
Speaker 1: came back down the road, I could look in I
Speaker 1: could see something going away from me back to me,
Speaker 1: you know, wide. It was probably close to four feet
Speaker 1: in width with the back towards me, just across the shoulders,
Speaker 1: and I noticed there was no close you know. So
Speaker 1: I knew at that point what I had seen at
Speaker 1: that time. So it was it was kind of odd
Speaker 1: that twice in one year work related situation. You know,
Speaker 1: I see these things happen, and it was just a
Speaker 1: phenomenal thing to have seen that. Then for a period
Speaker 1: of time, I got sold from one company to another.
Speaker 1: And as I got sold from one company to the other,
Speaker 1: you know, I stopped working for the company I had
Speaker 1: been work working for before. But the company I was
Speaker 1: sold to was still following a product. There was a
Speaker 1: logistics company. They went from transporting their own stuff the
Speaker 1: business I had been working for, to you know, having
Speaker 1: a logistics.
Speaker 5: Company hall their stuff for them in.
Speaker 1: State and out of state. You know. So I worked
Speaker 1: for that logistics company for a while, probably about two years,
Speaker 1: and I went back to the business that I was
Speaker 1: at before, and I had gone out. I was working
Speaker 1: days I had gone out, and I had it was
Speaker 1: late in the year, it was probably October of twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: I had left work. I had gotten out. It was
Speaker 1: probably about seven thirty in the afternoon or evening, I
Speaker 1: should say seven thirty in the evening, and I'm coming
Speaker 1: down the road back to the main drag, and I
Speaker 1: traveled down into town. I said, I'm going to go
Speaker 1: down into town. I'm going to get some groceries. So
Speaker 1: I did that, went up over the hill and down,
Speaker 1: you know, into the valley on the other side, and
Speaker 1: did my grocery shopping. And I came back up. And
Speaker 1: as I come to where I.
Speaker 5: Work, the road that I was working on is literally
Speaker 5: run parallel.
Speaker 1: To ninety five and in a sex you know, the
Speaker 1: road I was on was two oh one. So I
Speaker 1: come up over the hill. You come up over the hill,
Speaker 1: there's only one house there that is you know rate
Speaker 1: at that location. You know, as you come down over
Speaker 1: the hill, you go by a couple of businesses at
Speaker 1: the top as you top in the hill, and then
Speaker 1: you start down the hill and there's one home on
Speaker 1: the right. And as I'm coming down the hill, I
Speaker 1: notice in the ditch on the left hand side of
Speaker 1: the road. So I'm headed southwest on the main drag
Speaker 1: which is two to one, and I'm coming towards the
Speaker 1: highway and I look and I see on the southeast
Speaker 1: side of the road there's, you know, nor southeast side
Speaker 1: of the road, there is a pair of red glowing
Speaker 1: eyes looking at me. And I'm like, what is that?
Speaker 1: And I slowed down because there was no other traffic
Speaker 1: at the time, just my headlights, and I decided I
Speaker 1: was going to slow down and really look at this thing,
Speaker 1: see what it was. You know, I was wondering if
Speaker 1: it was something some other smaller animal that was just
Speaker 1: there about that time. You know, I had the initial
Speaker 1: view of it was I saw one eye looked really
Speaker 1: big and the other eye looked really small. But as
Speaker 1: I'm approaching, I see it turn its head. Now I
Speaker 1: got two huge glowing red eyes looking at me, and
Speaker 1: you know there's a distance across there, probably nine inches
Speaker 1: at least, you know, between one eye socket and the
Speaker 1: other eye socket. I'm like, wow, now, And I watched
Speaker 1: this thing come into the road like on all fours,
Speaker 1: and I'm just in utter amazement. You know, it's coming
Speaker 1: out onto the road and it's almost looking like it
Speaker 1: you know, it's has it's paws or hands out at
Speaker 1: a right angle towards the sides and its feet are
Speaker 1: very similar. They're cocked to the right and it's doing
Speaker 1: this and the movement you would see a spider doing.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what in the world is that? And
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the thing's out into the road.
Speaker 1: It's into the lane that goes in the opposite direction
Speaker 1: towards town, and it's literally I'm looking at the back
Speaker 1: end of it as it's crossing the white line on
Speaker 1: the edge of the road, and I'm seeing its head
Speaker 1: is literally at the yellow line in the center of
Speaker 1: the road, and I'm like, whoa, okay, And I watched
Speaker 1: this thing shuffle across the road on its hands and
Speaker 1: feet like and I'm like, all right. By the time
Speaker 1: I got there, it had crossed the road right at
Speaker 1: the end of a godrail and it's a real steep
Speaker 1: embankment going down, probably talking like a thirty five thirty
Speaker 1: eight degree pitch going down. And I see it as
Speaker 1: it's going by the godrail, I see the body coming up.
Speaker 1: And as I'm driving by, I see the body fully
Speaker 1: erect and it's walking off on two legs, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I guess I've just seen the spider crawl, you know,
Speaker 1: I had heard of it before. I hadn't seen it
Speaker 1: up to that point, but at that point, yeah, it
Speaker 1: was literally crawling across the road like a spider, you know,
Speaker 1: movement just like a spider, you know, doing a shuffle.
Speaker 1: And I kind of chuckled at the time because you know,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything like that. I never seen an
Speaker 1: animal move like that. It was just it was it
Speaker 1: was funny. So you know, I kind of went, Okay,
Speaker 1: that is definitely different. And what do you do at
Speaker 1: that point? You know, I pulled over. I pulled over
Speaker 1: and literally, you know, I had a flashlight in the car,
Speaker 1: and I walked over the edge of the guardrail and
Speaker 1: I'm looking down over and you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: where it went. Is fairly lodge trees, you know, I'd
Speaker 1: say trees that are probably sixty feet tall, some of
Speaker 1: these pines and you know that, you know, thirty inches
Speaker 1: in diameter, I mean, just huge pines. And I can
Speaker 1: I can see down through them past the brush that's
Speaker 1: on the edge of the road, but I don't see
Speaker 1: this thing anywhere. So you know, I another one for
Speaker 1: the books. I write it down, you know, and I
Speaker 1: get it all right there document what I can times,
Speaker 1: you know, so on and so forth, and it was
Speaker 1: just amazing. I went home and I told some of
Speaker 1: my investigators that I work with it, you know, what
Speaker 1: I had seen. They're like, oh, my god, you saw
Speaker 1: the shuffle. And I was like, yeah, yeah, I saw
Speaker 1: the shuffle, you know, and I don't know what to
Speaker 1: make of that, or you know, how do they have
Speaker 1: that ability? You know, I've gone through quite a few
Speaker 1: encounters with you folks already, and you know, I've talked
Speaker 1: to you guys about these things, and this is one
Speaker 1: that is very difficult for me as an investigator to understand.
Speaker 1: I understand that there's a very good potentiality that these
Speaker 1: creatures are double jointed from what I have seen. You know.
Speaker 1: I literally saw one, you know, and I told you
Speaker 1: about this in the last episode where it walked up
Speaker 1: to a log, you know, a big old hemwalk had
Speaker 1: been knocked over a pine. I'm not sure which one
Speaker 1: it was a hem walk or a pine. I didn't
Speaker 1: go over and physically look at the tree, you know,
Speaker 1: the bark on the outside. I'm not a I'm not
Speaker 1: a tree expert. I knew it was a fur of
Speaker 1: some type. So I watched this saying, walk over to
Speaker 1: you know, a thirty inch round tree that's laying on
Speaker 1: the ground, and instead of stepping over it like you
Speaker 1: or I where we tossed our leg over. You know,
Speaker 1: it literally walked up, bent its foot upwards so its
Speaker 1: foot was parallel with its leg, and placed it on
Speaker 1: the side of that log and just literally used the
Speaker 1: muscles in its foot and picked itself up as you know,
Speaker 1: as it picked itself up, the leg you know, got
Speaker 1: back to the regular normal position and it just went
Speaker 1: over the top of the log. So you know, I've
Speaker 1: seen that, so I know the shuffle is possible. You know,
Speaker 1: the positioning of the leg for them to be like
Speaker 1: that is possible. And you know, I understand their creatures
Speaker 1: like us, and they can have they have hands, I mean,
Speaker 1: we can rotate our wrists probably somewhere around twelve degrees
Speaker 1: thirteen degrees maybe, you know. Now this thing had its
Speaker 1: hands or pause or whatever you want to call them
Speaker 1: on its upper torso completely out to the side and flat,
Speaker 1: which made a pretty much would make you know, you
Speaker 1: or I almost you know, have a really hard time.
Speaker 1: We would have a really hard time to you know,
Speaker 1: put our hands out like that. To the side and
Speaker 1: flat on the ground and do a shuffle. I mean,
Speaker 1: we could do it, but it would be it could
Speaker 1: be painful. I haven't physically tried it, so I'm just
Speaker 1: taking a guess that it would be painful. But you know,
Speaker 1: to see that it was amazing and to look at that.
Speaker 1: You know, there's various indications that people have made about
Speaker 1: these things before, and somebody's made an ai you know
Speaker 1: type thing with one of these creatures doing that kind
Speaker 1: of shuffle, and it's like, that's pretty much what I saw.
Speaker 1: You know. I saw the hands out to the side,
Speaker 1: the feet out to the side, so the entire foot
Speaker 1: was twisted out, the hands were twisted out, they were
Speaker 1: laying flat, and this thing was shuffling across the road.
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't know how anything could do that,
Speaker 1: But you know, I go to all these different events
Speaker 1: m HM into many different speakers and festivals and talk
Speaker 1: to a lot of different people, you know, about different
Speaker 1: events and different things that have happened in the bigfoot world,
Speaker 1: indications that people see things that they doesn't make sense
Speaker 1: to them, you know, And I listen. I listen with
Speaker 1: an open ear and an open mind, and that's that's
Speaker 1: where investigators need to be. They need to have open minds,
Speaker 1: open open years. Do I fall into the whole spectrum
Speaker 1: of the interdimensional? Is it possible? I'll say it may
Speaker 1: be possible, but I always try to look for a
Speaker 1: reasonable answer on the flip side of that, you know,
Speaker 1: is there something else that could explain that? So you know,
Speaker 1: I I tried, tried with this whole shuffle thing to
Speaker 1: figure that out, and I still to this day still
Speaker 1: haven't figured out what exactly that was. And that was
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen that that happened. A few days later,
Speaker 1: I went from where the creature went, came out of
Speaker 1: the woods doing and did the shuffle across the road.
Speaker 1: There was a path going in and I knew where
Speaker 1: the path went because on the road that I was
Speaker 1: working on, there's you know, like a it's kind of
Speaker 1: like a gravel pit for one of the companies that's
Speaker 1: down there. It's not a lot of gravel they store,
Speaker 1: They truck in and store their gravel there. It's mostly shale.
Speaker 1: I went around to the backside of that pit a
Speaker 1: few days later, and I was able to find a
Speaker 1: fourteen inch print in the hard pack on the backside
Speaker 1: of that pit. You know, the bucket loaders had been
Speaker 1: running it over, and you know, this stuff was so
Speaker 1: hard I couldn't even there was rocks that were embedded
Speaker 1: it that I couldn't pull the rocks out of the ground.
Speaker 1: But I did find that there was piles of rock
Speaker 1: on that backside, you know, literally, you know, rocks probably
Speaker 1: a little bit smaller than a baseball, but thinner that
Speaker 1: had been packed in the gravel that were removed and stacked.
Speaker 1: They were removed right out of the pack to gravel,
Speaker 1: and they were stacked. And I kind of looked at
Speaker 1: that and I found the fourteen inch print and I
Speaker 1: just kind of followed the trail off the backside of that,
Speaker 1: and it came out exactly where I thought it, right
Speaker 1: on the main road. So you know, there are things
Speaker 1: that are hard to explain, but you look for the
Speaker 1: evidence further into it, and you find the evidence. Another
Speaker 1: one of my encounters happened during a deer season. I
Speaker 1: don't remember the year right off the top of my
Speaker 1: head right now. I think it was two thousand and fifteen.
Speaker 1: My father was still a lied live It was the
Speaker 1: year before he passed. It was November. I had earlier
Speaker 1: and you know, the two thousands, my father had difficulty walking,
Speaker 1: and we had a piece of land we were hunting
Speaker 1: on in Cindy, Maine, and I built him a four
Speaker 1: by four seven foot tall, fully enclosed hunting shack with
Speaker 1: stairs that we put in one of his favorite places
Speaker 1: to hunt on this property. And you know, somewhere right
Speaker 1: around twenty fourteen, he wasn't able to hunt anymore. So
Speaker 1: I had moved it over onto a small field where
Speaker 1: we came from the farmhouse pasture down through a little
Speaker 1: small tote road and you came to a small field,
Speaker 1: and then small field had a brook separating it from
Speaker 1: a very large field, and it was always deer in
Speaker 1: the field, both the fields, and I just I brung
Speaker 1: the blind out there to the edge of that field,
Speaker 1: the little field, and I was up in my blind.
Speaker 1: It's about seventy five eighty yards from the corner of
Speaker 1: the field where I had to blind set up. I'd
Speaker 1: reset up that blind and I was up in the blind,
Speaker 1: and it was a quiet morning, and I didn't hear
Speaker 1: a whole lot of activity. I didn't see the turkeys
Speaker 1: that I normally see. I didn't see the squirrels running around.
Speaker 1: You know, all the things were just odd that morning.
Speaker 1: You know, the silence, it was all there, all the
Speaker 1: indicators were there. You know. I would head on a swivel,
Speaker 1: looking around, looking around, looking around. Nothing. About eleven thirty,
Speaker 1: I decided that I was gonna climb down, go to
Speaker 1: the local store that my father used to and get
Speaker 1: myself launch, go up and see my dad. And you know,
Speaker 1: it was crazy. I you know, I scanned the fields,
Speaker 1: I scanned everything, and there was nothing. No deer, no nothing.
Speaker 1: So at the time, I didn't put the I hadn't
Speaker 1: put the stairs back in on the blind. I had
Speaker 1: just brung aluminum ladder down. I was using that to
Speaker 1: get in and out of the blind. So I, you know,
Speaker 1: opened the back door and I pulled the ladder over
Speaker 1: and I had it set and I started to climb down.
Speaker 1: All as I'm climbing down, I'm getting to the point
Speaker 1: where I can just see under the blind and I'm
Speaker 1: hearing what sounds like a clacking noise like rocks being
Speaker 1: hit together, and I'm trying to pay attention. I looked
Speaker 1: down through the rungs of the ladder and under the
Speaker 1: bottom of the stand I can see something very large,
Speaker 1: very black, like right at the where the road goes
Speaker 1: across the stream between the two fields. It's it's like
Speaker 1: right there, and I can see the arms motioning outwards
Speaker 1: and coming back in. Every time it would come back in,
Speaker 1: it was a clacking noise. I'm like what, I'm like,
Speaker 1: are you serious? You're in my hunting area too, you know,
Speaker 1: that was my thought. I'm like, holy cow. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: I got to try to get a better picture of this.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna climb back into the line because you know,
Speaker 1: of course the door's open. I get the ladder right
Speaker 1: in the door and it's the doors being held open.
Speaker 1: So I just kind of move up the ladder real slowly.
Speaker 1: And you know, before I did, I I kind of
Speaker 1: took the binoculars I had hanging on my neck, and
Speaker 1: I looked real quick, and I could see, you know,
Speaker 1: it was hilly, big in size. And I'm here into clocking.
Speaker 1: As I'm going up into the blind. As I get
Speaker 1: up in there to be able to look out the
Speaker 1: windows and be able to sit and get a better
Speaker 1: view of this thing, I look down and all I
Speaker 1: see is the black moving into the woods, and I'm like, really,
Speaker 1: not enough time to get a picture. What do you
Speaker 1: do at that point? You know, I'm just in like, okay,
Speaker 1: seventy five yards. I know what that is. I know
Speaker 1: what the rock clocking is. They do that. You know,
Speaker 1: it's something that you know, many researchers have, you know,
Speaker 1: said they've heard before. Some have said they've seen one
Speaker 1: doing that, the clocking of the rock. Witnesses have said it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's crazy that, you know, I all
Speaker 1: these different things that you know, I've read about research.
Speaker 1: It's crazy to see him coming to cruation in front
Speaker 1: of you. So I go out of the stand after
Speaker 1: about fifteen twenty minutes, and I walked down to the
Speaker 1: brook and sure enough there's two flat rocks that had
Speaker 1: been in the stream bread that they're wet and they're
Speaker 1: laying on top of there's the farmer had placed three
Speaker 1: or four granite stones that were you know, like four
Speaker 1: or five feet long and probably about you know, i'd
Speaker 1: say good eighteen inches wide down to be a to
Speaker 1: traverse across from the small field over to the big
Speaker 1: field to farm his hay out of it. Instead of
Speaker 1: traveling up and around on the roads and on those
Speaker 1: large stones. Here's these small stones that came out of
Speaker 1: the brook the flat. They're still wet. They're just laying
Speaker 1: on top of this thing. These these the granite stones,
Speaker 1: and I'm just all right, you know. I looked at
Speaker 1: the stones. I looked them all over to see if
Speaker 1: I could find any kind of hair or anything that
Speaker 1: I could gather off them, and unfortunately, I wasn't able
Speaker 1: to find any good DNA evidence out of it. So
Speaker 1: you know, that's where it stayed. You know, I went
Speaker 1: out for lunch, I came back when I came back
Speaker 1: that afternoon, about two hours later to sit for the evening. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was all kinds of a you know, squirrels, birds
Speaker 1: were around, the mice were running around underneath the stand,
Speaker 1: and you know it was I had the activity back,
Speaker 1: but all morning I had had zip zero none, you know,
Speaker 1: no noises, no squirrels, no birds, no chirping, no, you know, nothing,
Speaker 1: nothing was moving. So you know, that's another one of
Speaker 1: those situations where you run into the indicating factors that
Speaker 1: there's something there. I was out early in my career.
Speaker 1: I used to deliver beer and wine and products like
Speaker 1: coffee around the different places, and I had gone out
Speaker 1: to the Fryburg area and I delivered over into what
Speaker 1: they call Brownville, just outside of Fryburg, and I'm delivered
Speaker 1: to a store and I had to go from there
Speaker 1: cross country back over towards Naples to hit another store.
Speaker 1: And it was one sixty. I'm coming down the road.
Speaker 1: You get to an area that's quite forested, you know.
Speaker 1: The house is deplete in between, you know, probably about
Speaker 1: a two mile stretch, and before that you only got
Speaker 1: like one house every mile, you know, and so there's
Speaker 1: a lot of space for things to roam around over there.
Speaker 1: And I driving the truck again an almost speed forty
Speaker 1: five on a back road and I come around a
Speaker 1: corner and as you come around the corner, there's a
Speaker 1: large brook with a bridge that you cross on Route
Speaker 1: one sixty. And as i'm i come around the corner
Speaker 1: into the straightaway before that, I looked down the road
Speaker 1: and I see something on two legs walk across the road,
Speaker 1: you know, and it was huge. It was tall, brown
Speaker 1: in color this time, and just the arm swing was there.
Speaker 1: I was literally probably about one hundred and seventy five
Speaker 1: yards away at that time, so I had a really
Speaker 1: good view of this thing across the road. And it
Speaker 1: went into a logging road on the opposite side, and
Speaker 1: of course I'm doing forty five, so I said, well,
Speaker 1: I'll be able to see down that logging road. And
Speaker 1: as they got towards the logging road that goes in,
Speaker 1: I looked down the road and there was nothing in
Speaker 1: the road. I mean, this is literally, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: ten seconds from where I spotted it crossing the road
Speaker 1: to going into that logging road, and it's just gone.
Speaker 1: There's no person, there's no nothing. You know, I'm looking
Speaker 1: down the road at this thing. I could see that
Speaker 1: it had massive arms, with the arms wing, the legs
Speaker 1: were massive, it was browning color, you know. The head
Speaker 1: was just huge, with no there was no apparent neck.
Speaker 1: Head was fairly conical, so I knew what it was.
Speaker 1: You know, I just kind of said, okay, this is
Speaker 1: you know, another one. I wrote it down real quick
Speaker 1: at the next stop I was at, which was probably
Speaker 1: about ten minutes later, and I you know, I still
Speaker 1: have those notes, and I keep them where I can
Speaker 1: find them so I can reference them. I haven't over
Speaker 1: the years shared a lot of these things with folks,
Speaker 1: but you know, as we grow with the Bigfoot found,
Speaker 1: I have tried to reveal the things that I have
Speaker 1: seen and you know, give other investigators my thoughts on
Speaker 1: all these things. You know, when I talked the first time,
Speaker 1: when I was telling the stories the first time in
Speaker 1: the area that I got chased out of the woods,
Speaker 1: you know, I mentioned that there was a hunter that
Speaker 1: I had seen that he saw what he thought was
Speaker 1: a very big person in a gilly suit, not carrying
Speaker 1: any hunting equipment come out of the woods onto the
Speaker 1: field and travel down along the edge of the field
Speaker 1: and then go into the woods where my tree stand was.
Speaker 1: I mean, he just kind of wrote that off. And
Speaker 1: that's what I would expect out of every normal individual
Speaker 1: who isn't into the big foot field to you know,
Speaker 1: do you're going to find an idea and you can
Speaker 1: see something, You're going to find an idea. While it
Speaker 1: could have been this, or it could have been that,
Speaker 1: because your mind is not set as a human to
Speaker 1: process something like that. You know, people that will probably
Speaker 1: call you crazy if you say you see something like that.
Speaker 1: They'll probably tell you you're just imagining things. Oh, it's a
Speaker 1: bear or it's a moose. You know, I'm sorry. Moose
Speaker 1: don't walk on two feet. Bears can walk on two feet,
Speaker 1: but you know it. The whole Bigfoot phenomenon, the things
Speaker 1: that you write off as a human being is going
Speaker 1: to be every time you go out in the woods
Speaker 1: if you see something like that, oh it's just a bear,
Speaker 1: you know it's or it's just a moose. You know,
Speaker 1: I saw it real quick. You can come up with
Speaker 1: all kinds of excuses, but you know, more than likely,
Speaker 1: if you've seen one in the past, you're probably going
Speaker 1: to see another one. It's just your sixth sense. When
Speaker 1: you see something like that, your sixth sense kicks in
Speaker 1: and it mocks it in the back of your memory.
Speaker 1: So when something like that happens again, it picks it
Speaker 1: up almost right off. And most people, when they write
Speaker 1: it off, and they continue to write it off, it
Speaker 1: becomes a normal for them. They go, well, yeah, I
Speaker 1: saw another bear, or I saw another moves, you know
Speaker 1: something of that nature. Now. You know, when you're traveling
Speaker 1: down a road in the middle of nowhere at night,
Speaker 1: which has happened before to a lot of witnesses, you
Speaker 1: come around the corner, you're in a long straightaway where
Speaker 1: you know you've got no houses or round stud Mill
Speaker 1: Road out of Milford, Maine is a used to be Costigan.
Speaker 1: They had a paper mill in it and they had
Speaker 1: woods roads that ran from the Costigan mill all the
Speaker 1: way up to the Woodland mill. This is it's called
Speaker 1: the stud Mill Road, and they also have the Saint
Speaker 1: Regis Road as well. These are roads that there's literally
Speaker 1: virtually no real building on it except for you know,
Speaker 1: maybe every twenty miles you might come across a building
Speaker 1: where somebody's put a camp out there. You know, the
Speaker 1: stud Mill Road used to have a training facility for
Speaker 1: the military out there. It's now a boys camp for
Speaker 1: wildlife survival. You have you know that out there. But
Speaker 1: otherwise than that, you're running across a road that's literally
Speaker 1: dirt bridges that cross streams that are one lane, typically
Speaker 1: made out of iron, you know, some iron, a couple
Speaker 1: of iron girders, and then they put the big, you know,
Speaker 1: bigger than railroad ties type material over the top of it,
Speaker 1: and then some planks. It's just so the trucks can
Speaker 1: run back and falk down these roads. They're solid, solid,
Speaker 1: solid roads that get maintained every spring for the trucks
Speaker 1: to run on, and they're run all went along by
Speaker 1: only the paper company. But during the summer. The paper
Speaker 1: company allows the general public to run on the roads,
Speaker 1: and you can run sixty five on this gravel road
Speaker 1: and not have a problem.
Speaker 5: You know, it's really smooth.
Speaker 1: So you go out there. I mean, I've had times
Speaker 1: I was running down that road when I first started
Speaker 1: running at it. Here i am, I'm cruising down the
Speaker 1: road sixty five miles an hour. You know, you see
Speaker 1: something real quick, and you know I had something cross
Speaker 1: the road on one day, you know, running across that
Speaker 1: road trying to get out to a location where we
Speaker 1: were doing an investigation, and I'm just running. I'm alone,
Speaker 1: so I'm running, you know, sixty five. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get there and get back home all in one day.
Speaker 1: And going across down the road and I'm thirty five
Speaker 1: miles into this road. There's literally only you know, more
Speaker 1: logging roads going off to the left and off to
Speaker 1: the right of this road which runs east to west.
Speaker 1: You know, so the road, the logging roads are going
Speaker 1: off to the south and then off and you know,
Speaker 1: there's several lakes up there that they get some camps on.
Speaker 1: But here I am out in the middle of nowhere,
Speaker 1: cruising down the road. I've been out to the place
Speaker 1: that I was looking at, went out to do an
Speaker 1: investigation check on and I'm coming back. I'm coming, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm like thirty five miles from you know, getting to
Speaker 1: the end of this road where I'm going to be
Speaker 1: back in civilization. All of a sudden, there's you know,
Speaker 1: it's starting to get docked. So I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: out of there, because you know, I don't want to
Speaker 1: run into a moose out there in the middle of nowhere,
Speaker 1: because there's virtually no signal here. I am cruising down
Speaker 1: the road and all of a sudden, I look and
Speaker 1: there's something steps up out of the ditch, crosses the road,
Speaker 1: down into the ditch on the other side, and off
Speaker 1: into the woods, and it's on two legs. I'm probably
Speaker 1: about one hundred yards when it crossed the road, you know,
Speaker 1: probably about one hundred yards away from it in my
Speaker 1: vehicle traveling sixty five and you know, it doesn't take
Speaker 1: long at sixty five miles an hour to get that
Speaker 1: hundred yards. And by the time I got to where
Speaker 1: it went, you know, I was already on the brakes
Speaker 1: and I'm looking to the left and nothing nothing, there's nothing.
Speaker 1: I'm looking in both directions now, and I'm at a
Speaker 1: dead stop and I'm looking in both directions and I
Speaker 1: can see nothing. You know, it's dark enough, I can't
Speaker 1: see into the woods. Whatever it was, it crossed right
Speaker 1: there in front of me, and I, you know, I
Speaker 1: knew I had a good idea from.
Speaker 6: The location that I was, the speed I was traveling,
Speaker 6: you know, all that, the size of this thing when
Speaker 6: it stepped out, that it was on two legs, I
Speaker 6: knew there was something there.
Speaker 1: So, you know, of course in my mind, I go
Speaker 1: back to roughly about the same location I was with
Speaker 1: and then the pickup when it came out across, and
Speaker 1: you know, I had I got to pick up with
Speaker 1: a six inch lift kit on it. Literally my rocket
Speaker 1: panels on my truck when I walk up to it
Speaker 1: were you know, right at my waist, so you know,
Speaker 1: three feet up. And I went back trying to just
Speaker 1: find the pickup truck around, went back to that location.
Speaker 1: I looked down the road, using trees and other things
Speaker 1: to reference on the side of the road direction that
Speaker 1: I was facing. You know, was it a downhill and uphill?
Speaker 1: It was a downhill. I'm looking down at this thing,
Speaker 1: and I'm looking out of my pickup truck windshield, and
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the size of the trees on the
Speaker 1: side of the road, the small brush that's on the
Speaker 1: side of the road. I'm able to determine that, you know,
Speaker 1: that brush. As I go back down there, I use
Speaker 1: that brush and I said, okay, that brush is you know,
Speaker 1: heap feet tall. In the top of the head was
Speaker 1: higher than that brush, you know, so I'm thinking nine
Speaker 1: feet tall, and I just I just okay, you know,
Speaker 1: I want to get off of this road before it
Speaker 1: gets too dark. I looked around with a light to
Speaker 1: try to find footprints, but all high packed gravel like that,
Speaker 1: it was just it was impossible to find anything. I
Speaker 1: looked in the travel corridor, you know, it looked like
Speaker 1: a game trail. I started down the game trail, probably
Speaker 1: about fifteen feet looking at the brush with my flashlight
Speaker 1: alongside the road. You know. Of course, I had my
Speaker 1: backpack with me, which carries all my stuff. You know.
Speaker 1: I got flagging tape, I got flags, I got you know,
Speaker 1: my plaster of Paris. I've got my tweezes, my sterilized gloves,
Speaker 1: my containers to put any evidence I got. I got it.
Speaker 1: I got it all with me, you know, over there
Speaker 1: with the flashlight, just looking. I got the headlamp on,
Speaker 1: I got the flashlight on, I'm looking at the brush.
Speaker 1: I can't find a darn thing. And you know, I
Speaker 1: just I spent probably about fifteen twenty minutes looking and nothing,
Speaker 1: and I just got back into the truck and left.
Speaker 1: You know, that's one of those things. And probably about
Speaker 1: a month and a half later, two months maybe it
Speaker 1: was in December of that year, I believe, and I
Speaker 1: get a message from a guy who travels that road
Speaker 1: all the time and he works for a paper company.
Speaker 1: He asked if there was any bigfoot sightings up there,
Speaker 1: and I said, yeah, any I said, you know, I
Speaker 1: had one happen, and I gave him the location. He says, well,
Speaker 1: that's about a mile and a half from the twenty
Speaker 1: one hundred road that I went by today, and I
Speaker 1: could see footprints and a straight line going up to
Speaker 1: twenty one hundred road, which isn't.
Speaker 5: Flowed in the wine.
Speaker 1: He says there was footprints that were probably about four
Speaker 1: feet apart in a straight line going up the road,
Speaker 1: which is an uphill travel. He says that you know,
Speaker 1: I can't I wouldn't even go up there with my
Speaker 1: pickup in four wheel drive because the road's just treacherous.
Speaker 1: And he says it came out of you know, the
Speaker 1: tracks came out of the opposite side of the road
Speaker 1: going up the twenty one hundred road, and he says,
Speaker 1: I just that's you know, I follow your page and
Speaker 1: I forget I'd ask a question about up here because
Speaker 1: I seen that you guys had an outing up here before,
Speaker 1: and I said, yep, we usually typically do it every year.
Speaker 1: He said, well, I'll keep my eyes out and if
Speaker 1: I see anything else, I'll let you know. And you know,
Speaker 1: I contacted him probably about a year later, you know,
Speaker 1: I found the post back on our page and I
Speaker 1: private message doing and he says, no, no, I haven't
Speaker 1: had anything else. But you know, I've seen some more
Speaker 1: tracks off of one of the side roads up there.
Speaker 1: I think he said it was the twenty six hundred road.
Speaker 1: He had gone up and he was working his way along.
Speaker 1: I broke up there and he saw something up there,
Speaker 1: you know, some tracks up there. And twenty six hundred
Speaker 1: road is literally almost two hundred yards three hundred yards
Speaker 1: from the place that we have investigated up there before.
Speaker 1: At a camp. I don't know if I told you
Speaker 1: about that camp yet, small Trappers cabin and we got
Speaker 1: called to go up by somebody that was on our group,
Speaker 1: and we went up there, and this was another one
Speaker 1: of those situations where you know, I knew from what
Speaker 1: I had been told there was activity. The guy who
Speaker 1: owned the place had bought it from a ranger who
Speaker 1: owned it for twenty years, never sold, never went back
Speaker 1: to the place after going up there once, and he
Speaker 1: sold it twenty years later to this guy. This guy
Speaker 1: goes up and he goes hunting, and you know, of
Speaker 1: course phraises a ruckus because he's a beer drinker and
Speaker 1: he intoxicated, and you know, figured he can shoot off
Speaker 1: his gun at all hours of the day and night.
Speaker 1: And you know, Cavin got attacked. Well, when we went
Speaker 1: up there and we did the investigation, we had a
Speaker 1: student group doing journalism and type stuff, you know, camera
Speaker 1: work and audio work, and you know, they had to
Speaker 1: do a documentary type thing and they had reached out
Speaker 1: to us all while we were up there. We found tracks,
Speaker 1: you know, we found eighteen inch, sixteen inch and seventeen
Speaker 1: inch tracks. I think it was can't really, I don't
Speaker 1: have the notes in front of me, so I can't
Speaker 1: remember exactly. I know sixteen inch and eighteen inch. We
Speaker 1: did have an I think we cast a seventeen inch
Speaker 1: at the same time while we're up there. But we
Speaker 1: were up there and the girl that was doing the
Speaker 1: video side of it, she had a camera, a regular
Speaker 1: motion camera and you know, a regular digital camera with
Speaker 1: you know, all the big lenses and stuff. And we
Speaker 1: were down at the location. I explained to her the
Speaker 1: whole situation where the guy had gone down the second
Speaker 1: time to get some cleaning water, and you know, he
Speaker 1: found an eight penach footprint down there. And we're down
Speaker 1: talking about this, and there's like a little stream that
Speaker 1: goes out and around this place, and I'm looking across
Speaker 1: the stream and the bog and I can see something
Speaker 1: on the hillside, probably about two hundred yards away, And
Speaker 1: the girl was sitting there with me, and I'm looking across,
Speaker 1: and you know, there's some you know, this is a large,
Speaker 1: heavily forested area with old growth trees, and I'm looking
Speaker 1: along across and I can see, well, you know, it
Speaker 1: looks to be like a person or a human head
Speaker 1: peeking out from around a tree on the other side
Speaker 1: of this swampy area, and she was sitting there with
Speaker 1: me and she took a camera. I told her about it.
Speaker 1: I can see something over there and it's moving. She
Speaker 1: took a couple of photos with a high resolution lens,
Speaker 1: but it was in the forested area on the other side.
Speaker 1: It was. She wasn't picking up she was picking up
Speaker 1: the edge of the woods, but she couldn't see in
Speaker 1: the darkness on the other side. But with her own
Speaker 1: eyes she could. She said, I can see something in it.
Speaker 1: She says, it's almost like it just comes out and
Speaker 1: looks at you. And she says it stays there, and
Speaker 1: then I look away and I'll look back and she
Speaker 1: says it's not there. So there's something over there. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, you know what, what are we here for?
Speaker 1: And she was there when we cast the tracks. You know,
Speaker 1: we cast the sixteen inch, we cast the eighteen inch,
Speaker 1: the seventeen inch we were not able to cast, and yes,
Speaker 1: it was a seventeen inch. I just had to think
Speaker 1: it through because I'm getting I'm getting older in my years,
Speaker 1: and you know, I get to process my brain to
Speaker 1: think about each different situation. But here it is, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm with this girl. We're doing the interview, and you know,
Speaker 1: talking about the tracks that were found at this water's edge,
Speaker 1: looking across, you know, maybe a two hundred yard space
Speaker 1: into the woods. It's it's plenty sunny enough, we can
Speaker 1: see into the woods. But when I would take a
Speaker 1: picture with my camera or she would take a picture
Speaker 1: with her camera, we were getting the darkness that was
Speaker 1: inside the woods. We weren't getting You couldn't get the
Speaker 1: pixelation just right to get a picture of what it was.
Speaker 1: But I knew what it was. This is the same
Speaker 1: area that we've you know, we've had encounters there over
Speaker 1: the years. I was in that same area camping probably
Speaker 1: two years later. We did an expedition over there, and
Speaker 1: I was on the stud Mill Road and I a
Speaker 1: stream that runs between the two lakes on each side
Speaker 1: of that road, and where it crosses underneath the road
Speaker 1: is a gravel bar. And I went over and I
Speaker 1: looked at the gravel bar. One day, it looked like
Speaker 1: there was something down there, and I walked down and
Speaker 1: sure enough, there was an eighteen inch print right in
Speaker 1: the gravel bar. It was under probably about an inch
Speaker 1: of water, but the print was very visible. I did
Speaker 1: take a photo of it, did a measurement with a
Speaker 1: measuring tape just to get it and get the size.
Speaker 1: And you know, we had a good expedition that time
Speaker 1: around that same exact location off the stud Mill Road.
Speaker 1: We went up. We did a walk with an overnight
Speaker 1: group and during the walk, we chose a different road
Speaker 1: in the camp that was that had been attacked because
Speaker 1: some of the people were uncomfortable going down there at night.
Speaker 1: So we chose a road on the other side of
Speaker 1: the brook between the two lakes, and we went down
Speaker 1: that road until there was a large blockage, and you know,
Speaker 1: I had the feeling at that point that there was
Speaker 1: something there. And the other co founder of the Bigfoot Foundation,
Speaker 1: she had the same feeling. She knew from the encounters
Speaker 1: that she had had over the years. She would always
Speaker 1: get a hair on the back of your neck, strange
Speaker 1: gut feeling there was something there.
Speaker 5: You know, And you know, we took all the.
Speaker 1: Precautions we needed to because we're out with a group
Speaker 1: in we went in literally, i mean down this road
Speaker 1: until there was two you know, two trees right in
Speaker 1: a row that will push from the opposite sides of
Speaker 1: the road. These are trees that are probably eighteen inches
Speaker 1: in diameter, pushed right over roots in the air. You know,
Speaker 1: usually if you get a windstorm, the windstorm is going
Speaker 1: to blow the trees in the same direction, not in
Speaker 1: opposite directions, and it was across the road. These were
Speaker 1: blown in from across the road in two different directions.
Speaker 1: And then there was a probably about an eight or
Speaker 1: nine inch tree off of the left side of the
Speaker 1: road going down in probably about twenty five feet further
Speaker 1: down the road that was pushed at an angle up
Speaker 1: the road and onto those other two. When we got
Speaker 1: to that location, people didn't want to go any further.
Speaker 1: So what we did was we backed out because both
Speaker 1: Janelle and I myself had had a feeling and we
Speaker 1: knew we were being watched. We had heard something walking
Speaker 1: alongside us, so we knew that every time we stopped,
Speaker 1: it would stop. When we walked, we could hear it,
Speaker 1: you know, walking bipedal type steps, probably about thirty odds
Speaker 1: into the woods maximum, right alongside us, following us. So
Speaker 1: we kind of took the trees knocked over as a
Speaker 1: sign of don't go here, especially in the dark, you know.
Speaker 1: Leading a group of people around at a good portion
Speaker 1: of them, you know, on experience in the woods. So
Speaker 1: we played it safe. We went back out to the
Speaker 1: main road and we discussed for the people. We told
Speaker 1: them what was going on, and they said, well, let's
Speaker 1: go down that camp road that got attacked, and we'll
Speaker 1: only go as far as the lake, not down all
Speaker 1: the way because you know, it's still kind of scary.
Speaker 1: So we did that, came back out, went to camp,
Speaker 1: you know, discussed what had happened during the day, what
Speaker 1: had happened during the night, and then we all went
Speaker 1: to bed. Well, next morning we had breakfast and some
Speaker 1: of the people said, well, we want to try to
Speaker 1: go buy that piece on the other side. And I
Speaker 1: had a knee that needed needed to be worked on,
Speaker 1: needed to be a report. It was swollen up like
Speaker 1: a like a softball, and I could hardly walk because
Speaker 1: of all the walking I'd done the day before. So
Speaker 1: one of our other members took them down the road,
Speaker 1: and of course they they were down that road and
Speaker 1: they went around the tree or trees i should say,
Speaker 1: and they got on the other side and the path
Speaker 1: narrowed up and narrowed up and narrowed up, and they
Speaker 1: were in a pathway that was. You know, if you
Speaker 1: put two normal people side by side, it was it
Speaker 1: was super tight. You know, you're rubbing shoulders, so pretty
Speaker 1: much you would pass by each other if you wanted
Speaker 1: to see something, and you know, that's pretty much how
Speaker 1: you go by each other. And they were right there
Speaker 1: and they found an eighteen inch footprint in the trail,
Speaker 1: and you know, it is one of those situations, Oh
Speaker 1: I see it, everybody else wants to see it, you know.
Speaker 1: And of course one of the guys that was out
Speaker 1: on the outing, he was he had a video camera
Speaker 1: with him and he was videoing it all and he's
Speaker 1: talking away and he's telling everybody, step on up, come
Speaker 1: check this out. We got you know, the pathway on
Speaker 1: that they were in it was literally brush, you know,
Speaker 1: from forest floor up to about eight and a half
Speaker 1: nine feet and you know, he's videoing, you know, this footprint,
Speaker 1: and people walking up and taking a look at this,
Speaker 1: saying and this print. They're like they're all in amazement,
Speaker 1: you know, you hear them all. They're all talking. And
Speaker 1: of course when the gentleman steps back with the camera,
Speaker 1: he pans across the brush as he's stepping backwards to
Speaker 1: get by another guy and you know, he goes he's
Speaker 1: holding the camera down, you know, not taking any video,
Speaker 1: but the video is still running, and he scans across
Speaker 1: this guy's brush, this guy's stomach area, as he's stepping backwards,
Speaker 1: and then he comes back up and he's a videoing
Speaker 1: more people walking up. It wasn't until he got home
Speaker 1: later that day that I suddenly got a message from him, Dude,
Speaker 1: you got to see the thing I just posted on
Speaker 1: the page. So he posted on the page his video
Speaker 1: and as still shot of the video, and you literally
Speaker 1: look and you know, as he's stepping backwards and the
Speaker 1: camera goes across the guy's stomach area, you can see
Speaker 1: an area in the brush literally two feet off of
Speaker 1: the other gentleman, where all the greenery has been pulled aside.
Speaker 1: And you've got two eyes and you can see them
Speaker 1: ouse with teeth. It's staring out at you. You can
Speaker 1: make out the nose pulled it up on a large
Speaker 1: screen and bang, I can see that. You can see
Speaker 1: the hands, the fingers just pulling the brush of hoot,
Speaker 1: and this thing is just looking looking right out at
Speaker 1: them and you know, literally two feet away from them,
Speaker 1: and they didn't even know it was there. So, you know,
Speaker 1: these encounters that I've had, I've been very fortunate. You know,
Speaker 1: I can go on and on all day giving more
Speaker 1: and more encounters that I've had. Just going down the
Speaker 1: you know, hunting, going down a road, dirt road in
Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere. You know, I'm traveling, hunting and
Speaker 1: you see something up ahead. It crosses the road in
Speaker 1: front of you, and you're thinking another hunter or you know,
Speaker 1: an animal of some type. And you get down there
Speaker 1: and you realize that, you know, what I saw was
Speaker 1: you know, I'm six foot and I'm standing here and
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the area around me, and I know
Speaker 1: what I saw was like the top of the head
Speaker 1: was up here were that branch is two feet above me?
Speaker 1: You know. So you hunting, especially hunting out where I
Speaker 1: was when I was a kid, you know, Unity plantation.
Speaker 1: We traveled through some woods, we traveled through some old
Speaker 1: logging roads. We were constantly you know, to get out
Speaker 1: to our tree stand. It's two and a half miles
Speaker 1: out there, you know, and you'd be walking and you
Speaker 1: you know, of course you're looking for deer and you
Speaker 1: look down the road. You know, you're scanning from one
Speaker 1: side of the road to the other. You look down
Speaker 1: the road and you come across and you see something
Speaker 1: real quick walk across the road. Well, you know, was
Speaker 1: that a deer? Was that? And I go back and
Speaker 1: I think about some of those times, and you know
Speaker 1: what I saw across the road? What what did I
Speaker 1: really see? Go back and think about it, and I go, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: that was on two legs. That wasn't just a normal
Speaker 1: deer or a bear or a moose. You know, there
Speaker 1: was there was There was no mistaking what it was,
Speaker 1: you know, And I a lot of the encounter that
Speaker 1: I have had where I physically see them, you know,
Speaker 1: it's their surprising counters, you know. There they really are
Speaker 1: coming around and going on the road. You know, it's
Speaker 1: crossing the road. It's not expecting you to come. They
Speaker 1: can probably hear the vehicle, but thinks it has enough
Speaker 1: time to cross, and you know, just coming out of
Speaker 1: out of a ditch and comes out of the ditch
Speaker 1: and bingo bango. Oh, I'm in it's view, you know,
Speaker 1: but you know, you're you're out there. A lot of
Speaker 1: the folks that listen to this go out in the
Speaker 1: woods and they you know, they they listen for things
Speaker 1: that researchers like myself and others, you know, put out
Speaker 1: listen to the information that people have had encounters and
Speaker 1: share their encounters, absolutely talk about and they hear it.
Speaker 1: You know, they talk about it on a podcast like this,
Speaker 1: and you know they pay attention, and you know they
Speaker 1: use it for when they're out in the woods. I
Speaker 1: had a response at Blue Bradberry Mountain State Park back
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two or twenty twenty three, did an overnight
Speaker 1: at Bradbury Mountain. We did a walk that night. We'd
Speaker 1: taken a daytime walk. We'd walked up the mountain to
Speaker 1: see the two trails that we were planning on using.
Speaker 1: One was a steep access trail to go up and
Speaker 1: the other one was a long, sweeping graded trail that
Speaker 1: went out and around the top. And we planned on
Speaker 1: two groups, one going straight up, one going out and around.
Speaker 1: I took a group out up and up straight up
Speaker 1: the top, and Janelle took the group around the other
Speaker 1: side and we went up on top. And when I
Speaker 1: got up on top, one of the people that was
Speaker 1: with me said, you know, hey, why don't why don't
Speaker 1: you try doing a call I've never heard a call back,
Speaker 1: but before because I heard you do pretty good calls.
Speaker 1: I said, okay, I'll do one. I did one, and
Speaker 1: it was like, almost as immediately as I stopped, from
Speaker 1: probably about two miles away in the valley on the
Speaker 1: back side, a call started up just as loud as mine.
Speaker 1: It was like it was standing right next to us,
Speaker 1: but it was coming out of the valley and it
Speaker 1: came back and the kid was all excited. He was
Speaker 1: hopping up and down. I had two people me that
Speaker 1: didn't believe in Bigfoot, and the kid's mother was there
Speaker 1: as well, and her jaw was just dropping on the ground.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was kind of funny. About six months
Speaker 1: later we went back. That was in the spring of
Speaker 1: the year, and we went back in the fall of
Speaker 1: the year for a second round at Bradbury Mountain State Park,
Speaker 1: and we went on the opposite side of the road
Speaker 1: because after getting that call back that night, we came
Speaker 1: back to the group campsite and all night long we
Speaker 1: had activity around us. Things were being thrown at tense
Speaker 1: there was tree knocking around us. You know, it's all
Speaker 1: indicated that, you know, as a bigfoot researcher, you believe
Speaker 1: could be possible.
Speaker 5: Bigfoot activity and nobody's been able to.
Speaker 1: Actually confirm any of this stuff. And until somebody is
Speaker 1: able to befriend some of these things and actually be
Speaker 1: able to sit down and study them as a family
Speaker 1: group or as an individual, you know, we don't know.
Speaker 1: We don't know exactly what they are. We don't know
Speaker 1: the exact calls, we know the ideas for calls that
Speaker 1: they produce, and you know the size of the footprints,
Speaker 1: you know the noises they potentially make, and everything is
Speaker 1: all a giant assumption until science can actually physically observe
Speaker 1: these creatures. And you know, we went back in the
Speaker 1: fall of that year and we went on the other
Speaker 1: side where the camping area and the trails out that way,
Speaker 1: and we were going down the main trail before hitting
Speaker 1: a loop trail that goes up and around, and we
Speaker 1: had walked it during the day and decided that that
Speaker 1: would be a good thing, a good trail to go on,
Speaker 1: and we'd start out just as the sun was going down,
Speaker 1: and you know, so here we are, we're hiking up
Speaker 1: the trail, the sun's still out, it's starting to go down.
Speaker 1: We wanted to get in as far as we could
Speaker 1: before it got dark, and we're going down the trail,
Speaker 1: and I happened to look off through the woods on
Speaker 1: the right side of the trail, and you know, the
Speaker 1: sunlight shining through the trees, and IKE see something go
Speaker 1: from right to left across an opening and it blocks
Speaker 1: out the entire light on the trail. And now I
Speaker 1: had just done a whoop call, and you know, I
Speaker 1: was expecting some kind of activity because we'd done a
Speaker 1: couple of tree knocks on the way in, and we'd
Speaker 1: done a couple of whoop calls, and you know, of
Speaker 1: course I see this thing go across and I said,
Speaker 1: whoa anybody else see that? Somebody said I saw something.
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell what it was. I said, well, you know,
Speaker 1: what did you see? And they were like, well, it
Speaker 1: looked like a person off in the distance there that
Speaker 1: kind across the pathway that goes down through here. They said,
Speaker 1: you know, I watched them go across and it blocked
Speaker 1: out the sunlight that was there that was shining through,
Speaker 1: and you know, they disappeared into the woods on the
Speaker 1: other side. I said, did it look like an animal?
Speaker 1: And Paul legs, no, it was on two Okay, how tall?
Speaker 1: I don't know, So you know, of course, that's exactly
Speaker 1: what I had seen. And I stepped backwards, and I
Speaker 1: was looking down the trail, down that pathway through the
Speaker 1: woods at the same time, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: from like out of nowhere, it went in the opposite
Speaker 1: direction of what we saw before, and it balked out
Speaker 1: all the sunlight. And I said, I said, another person
Speaker 1: saw it at that point, and I said, okay, what'd
Speaker 1: you see? And they explained the same thing to me,
Speaker 1: and I said, I'm going to walk down there. You
Speaker 1: guys stay up here. I'm going to try to walk
Speaker 1: and you direct me and i'll stop. And you know,
Speaker 1: I walked down and of course I got down there
Speaker 1: and they directed me and they said it was much
Speaker 1: taller than you. It was like right in there and
Speaker 1: it was much taller than you. And I said, okay,
Speaker 1: so I put a piece of black and go back
Speaker 1: and look from the road and you know, from the trail,
Speaker 1: and it was the same location where I was seen. So,
Speaker 1: you know, that's another encounter that just kind of it
Speaker 1: falls into the curiosity side on. You know, whatever this
Speaker 1: bigfoot creature is, I mean, I believe it's it's an
Speaker 1: animal that's been unidentified for years, and you know it's
Speaker 1: been on cave drawings. I've developed almost like a sixth
Speaker 1: sense that you know, I have that I pick up.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's if they emit, vibrations or
Speaker 1: what it is that I just kind of when I'm
Speaker 1: out in the woods, I know if I'm being watched.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 5: I can feel one.
Speaker 1: I'm being stocked, you know, I have that. I use
Speaker 1: my curs, my eyes, my sense to get everything. And
Speaker 1: that's that's just where I am. I'm I'm I'm there.
Speaker 1: I'm the guy who's thrust into this Bigfoot world and
Speaker 1: I try to share it with everybody like you guys.
Speaker 1: Main Bigfoot Foundation is a full nonprofit here in the
Speaker 1: state of Maine. We do overnight outings in the summertime
Speaker 1: at no cost anybody. You know, you bring a tent,
Speaker 1: we typically bring the food. You come out, We teach
Speaker 1: you what's going on. We investigate sightings across to Maine,
Speaker 1: and we also hold a festival every year Stratton, Usta, Maine.
Speaker 1: This year is going to be having us with our
Speaker 1: second annual Bigfoot Festival, and that'll be on the dates
Speaker 1: of October seventeenth and eighteenth. We got three very good
Speaker 1: speakers coming up to do the presentations. We have Steve
Speaker 1: Calls out of New York, Mike Familiant who is out
Speaker 1: of New Jersey but travels all around the US. And
Speaker 1: we have Jason Kenzie who is a videographer who does
Speaker 1: documentary type films out of British Columbia and he's actually
Speaker 1: going to be doing a daytime walk with group a
Speaker 1: group and he'll be filming for his next documentary in
Speaker 1: during that walk. So come on up and join us.
Speaker 1: Check us out on Facebook Mean Bigfoot Foundation, Inc. It's
Speaker 1: a private group, so you'll have to join, but we
Speaker 1: try to share what we can on there. A lot
Speaker 1: of us work full time jobs, so you know, we
Speaker 1: don't we don't have a lot of time to play
Speaker 1: on there, but you know, we allow people to post
Speaker 1: and you know, put different things out there. And when
Speaker 1: we go out on an outing, we typically take pictures
Speaker 1: and you know, post them all on that page. And
Speaker 1: if somebody has questions or anything to ask us about activity,
Speaker 1: they write it on the page and we provide them
Speaker 1: with SAMNSUS. And I'd like to thank all of you
Speaker 1: listeners out there for listening to my encounters and my
Speaker 1: stories and uh my advice to you, don't you folks,
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're listening to this podcast here, absolutely
Speaker 1: listening to a podcast is devoted to, you know, getting
Speaker 1: you the stories and getting you information at the same time.
Speaker 1: They do a wonderful job. And I appreciate being allowed
Speaker 1: to come on and share my thoughts and my encounters
Speaker 1: and you all have a good day.
Speaker 7: Well that's it for tonight's show. If you've had a
Speaker 7: big foot siding and would like to be a guest,
