WEBVTT

1
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Ivish. That next morning, something came into camp, but this

2
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:14.679
<v Speaker 1>had a totally different feel, and we could actually see

3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>the shadows on the tent. It was huge, and we

4
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:19.960
<v Speaker 1>could make out the shoulders and head. And another one

5
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>came up to the left side of it, and it

6
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>was coming up from the front of our tent where

7
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:29.079
<v Speaker 1>the fire was out there, and I pushed on Sandy's

8
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:31.879
<v Speaker 1>colot with my foot when she looked over, and I

9
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.679
<v Speaker 1>went and she looked up and she could see the shadows.

10
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 1>She pushed on Barber's tent did the same thing, so

11
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.079
<v Speaker 1>they all saw that. You could hear the footfall. And

12
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:44.039
<v Speaker 1>I had my recorder going out in the back left

13
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 1>corner of my tent, and Barbara had hers out in

14
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>the front. So anyway they walk around, you could hear

15
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.039
<v Speaker 1>them moving. They weren't running around throwing crap at us

16
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.439
<v Speaker 1>like the look we think juveniles, you know. But anyway,

17
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>it was just a totally different feel. And I've never

18
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.719
<v Speaker 1>ever been scared or felt any kind of fear until then,

19
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:10.680
<v Speaker 1>you know. And so anyway about well, it was six

20
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine, because I keep my phone under my palace

21
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:15.799
<v Speaker 1>so I can see what time it is, six twenty nine,

22
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.239
<v Speaker 1>from the back left corner from my audio recorder. Kids,

23
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:26.599
<v Speaker 1>it was this high pitched female sounding scream and it

24
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 1>was real shrill, and then it ended in like a whoop.

25
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 1>And then ten seconds later another one from it was

26
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the same being that did it, I'm sure because it

27
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 1>was the exact same scream, exact same area, same thing,

28
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.879
<v Speaker 1>and we were like, that's the Medusa scream. That guy

29
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:49.359
<v Speaker 1>was legit. He we understood now what he was talking about.

30
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.799
<v Speaker 1>But it was bigfoot, I'm sure. So the next night,

31
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>same exact stuff. Those juveniles they're back, you know, a

32
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 1>little less activity, you know, But and then that next morning,

33
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>same about the same time, they coming to camp again.

34
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 1>It did it three nights in a row. The fourth

35
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>night it was raining and it was a lot less activity,

36
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 1>but we still had them coming into camp. But on

37
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>that second night, if you went on past where that

38
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>guy had been camping, you go another several miles down

39
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and the road ends and there's a campground and there

40
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>were some bear hunters down there, and we had talked

41
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>to them every day we'd go down there because we

42
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.080
<v Speaker 1>wanted to keep up with who was where, you know,

43
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:35.879
<v Speaker 1>And so the second night, way off in that direction,

44
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.199
<v Speaker 1>where the bear hunters were. We heard four gun shots

45
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>and I said, well, they're either drinking and getting rowdy.

46
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Are theyre having something going on in camp? And then

47
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>just a few not even a minute or so later,

48
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>we heard two more gun shots, and then within a

49
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>minute or so we heard that Medusa screen from that

50
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 1>area over there, and I'm like, oh, yeah, they're having

51
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>activity and that's what they're shooting at. And so we

52
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>were excited. And then the third night, somewhere between them

53
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 1>and us, we heard the Medusa scream again, and so

54
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.240
<v Speaker 1>we're like, that poor young guy must have been scared

55
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:14.240
<v Speaker 1>out of his mind. And but anyway, that was that

56
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 1>was really cool because we thought he was on drugs

57
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>or something talking about sounded like a killer carry sword

58
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>around with it. Yeah, yeah, that's funny. When you say

59
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:32.759
<v Speaker 1>Medusa's scream, you call my sister that really, I know,

60
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.439
<v Speaker 1>That's what I was like. We even talked about it

61
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.639
<v Speaker 1>after he left, you know, before we went down there.

62
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what was he talking about Medusa's scream? It

63
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>just didn't make sense. But then we were like, okay,

64
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 1>because it did. It was so high pitched, you know

65
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>how you hear on movies pterodactyls and stuff. That's exactly

66
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.919
<v Speaker 1>what it was reminiscent of. But I got excited because

67
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>my recorder was right in that corner where that screen

68
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>was coming from. And Barbara went ahead that next morning

69
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.479
<v Speaker 1>and got hers and played it back, and it picked

70
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>it up good on hers and hers was in front,

71
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>so when Shelley listens to it, she ought to hear

72
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.520
<v Speaker 1>something good on that. Well, it was really high pitched,

73
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 1>and all three of us we all said it sounded female,

74
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 1>but we just had a feeling that it was like

75
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>a like an alpha female. I think she was finally

76
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:27.240
<v Speaker 1>like saying, this is it? Leave this? Yeah, So it was.

77
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 1>It was pretty interesting, saying let's go out. That's fascinating.

78
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:37.360
<v Speaker 1>I'd never heard that scream like that before. And if

79
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 1>it hadn't had the whoop on the end, I would

80
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>have said, don't know what the heck that was, But

81
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 1>it had a whoop on the end. Well, I've heard

82
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:47.839
<v Speaker 1>other stuff, but not sound like that.

83
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Tell them about your daddy and y'all's experience down there.

84
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, where I grew up, I was. I lived in Malta, Texas.

85
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.160
<v Speaker 1>We only had just a few hundred people in the

86
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.199
<v Speaker 1>little community. The school went to eighth grade, and I

87
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>was valedictorian in my eighth grade class. And I normally

88
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.360
<v Speaker 1>don't tell people, but there was only three of us.

89
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 1>We had like two grades in each classroom, you know,

90
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.319
<v Speaker 1>So fifth and six were together, seventh and eighth were together.

91
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>And once you got out eighth grade, you had to

92
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>go to high school in either New Boston, which was

93
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.519
<v Speaker 1>seven miles in one direction, or in DCAB, which was

94
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:31.279
<v Speaker 1>seven miles in the opposite direction. And I ended up

95
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I ended up going to both, you know, And so

96
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.519
<v Speaker 1>because Decap was just more down to earth, I think.

97
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 1>And anyway, so where this place was located though, was

98
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>only probably about thirty forty miles from Falk, Arkansas, which

99
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>is legendary in the Bigfoot community, you know, because of

100
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the legend of Boggy Creek, and a lot of my

101
00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:00.720
<v Speaker 1>cousins lived up in Texa, Cana in that area, and

102
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>some of my cousins lived in falc and uh like I,

103
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, my Mama and Daddy had adopted me when

104
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.439
<v Speaker 1>they were forty one, and so I already had two

105
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>brothers that were twenty some odd years older than me.

106
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.879
<v Speaker 1>So all my first cousins were in their you know, twenties,

107
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>and so I grew up with my second cousins, and

108
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I grew up playing with my second cousins in those

109
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.040
<v Speaker 1>woods in Foulk, Arkansas. But back then, when I was

110
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.560
<v Speaker 1>a kid, we didn't know that Bigfoot even existed. We

111
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.839
<v Speaker 1>didn't know what a bigfoot was, you know, and I

112
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.519
<v Speaker 1>didn't even really know about it until I was in

113
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:43.240
<v Speaker 1>my early twenties or so. But what we called that

114
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:48.199
<v Speaker 1>creature in fout, Arkansas was the fount monster. That's that's

115
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 1>all we ever heard, was a fount monster, you know.

116
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.800
<v Speaker 1>My mama and daddy and everybody would say, oh, honey,

117
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not real, you know. But then the Legend of

118
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Boggy Creek movie came out and we went to see it,

119
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and she really had to tell me that because it said,

120
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, based on true events. And I went with

121
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.759
<v Speaker 1>my cousins and we were all looking at our parents

122
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.639
<v Speaker 1>like what, and they were saying, no, honey, that's just

123
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a movie. They just do that to make it more exciting,

124
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 1>and so we were like, okay. You know. Anyway, when

125
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:24.439
<v Speaker 1>I was about fourteen years old, it was Christmas time

126
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and my mama was sick. She had cancer and so

127
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>she was in the bed in the front room of

128
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.319
<v Speaker 1>our house, and my daddy and I were on the

129
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:38.480
<v Speaker 1>front porch hanging Christmas lights and they were blue Christmas lights,

130
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:40.959
<v Speaker 1>and so it didn't light up very much, you know,

131
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and we had the front porch light off because we

132
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>could see better where we were putting them in space

133
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>and the Christmas lights out. We had a long house,

134
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.639
<v Speaker 1>it was almost like, you know, a long shotgun type house.

135
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>On the left hand side of the porch was the

136
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:57.959
<v Speaker 1>car port, then on the right it was just you know,

137
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.480
<v Speaker 1>we had woods all the way around and a pond

138
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.759
<v Speaker 1>back behind us and a dirt road in front of us.

139
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.399
<v Speaker 1>It was so dark out there, and we were on

140
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.639
<v Speaker 1>the right hand side of the house, opposite from the

141
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:11.759
<v Speaker 1>car port. And when we were hanging the Christmas lights,

142
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>coming from the left hand further on down, you know,

143
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:17.879
<v Speaker 1>away from us, sounded like it was coming from on

144
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 1>the other side of where my Mamma's house used to be.

145
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:24.439
<v Speaker 1>Next door, we heard just this. It was gosh, it

146
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.000
<v Speaker 1>was so scary. It was like a moan, a roar,

147
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.519
<v Speaker 1>and a growl altogether. And I had never heard anything

148
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>like that before. And it was so loud, you know,

149
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.759
<v Speaker 1>it's just and it scared to crap out of me.

150
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:39.399
<v Speaker 1>And I looked at my daddy and I was like,

151
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>what was that, Daddy, and he was He just paused

152
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.440
<v Speaker 1>for a second and he said, I don't know what

153
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>that was, but let's just hurry up and finish this. Well,

154
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.240
<v Speaker 1>my daddy, like I said, he was forty one when

155
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 1>he adopted me, and that was back in sixty six

156
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>when I was born. So my daddy had been in

157
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:00.679
<v Speaker 1>three wars, Vietnam, World War two, and Korea, and he

158
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.840
<v Speaker 1>never was scared of anything. But I could just tell that,

159
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, he stopped and looked in that direction, but

160
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:09.519
<v Speaker 1>he's like, let's go ahead and finish this. And so

161
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, let's let's go in because I've

162
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.159
<v Speaker 1>never heard anything like that before. And he was like, no,

163
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.559
<v Speaker 1>let's just go ahead and finish this. And so we're

164
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:18.519
<v Speaker 1>trying to get it up, and thank goodness, it was

165
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.919
<v Speaker 1>not a very long porch. But as we're working our

166
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.000
<v Speaker 1>way to the left, you know, we get to about

167
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.279
<v Speaker 1>the center and we hear it again, but this time

168
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:31.080
<v Speaker 1>it's closer up and he says, go in the house

169
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and get my gun, and I said, I'm not leaving

170
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>you out here, and I said, please, come on, let's

171
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:36.919
<v Speaker 1>go in the house. He goes, no, just hurry up,

172
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.759
<v Speaker 1>go in the house and get my gun. I said, no, Daddy.

173
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.799
<v Speaker 1>I was about starting to cry, you know, I said,

174
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:46.039
<v Speaker 1>let's go in the house please. And about that time,

175
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.080
<v Speaker 1>from the carport area, we heard it again, and this

176
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.639
<v Speaker 1>time I've just busted out in tears, and he's pushing

177
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.159
<v Speaker 1>me in the house and he just pushes right on

178
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.879
<v Speaker 1>by me. Well, my mama was, you know, right there

179
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:02.559
<v Speaker 1>and that first room in the bed, and she sees me,

180
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, crying, and he's running through the house going

181
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>to go find his gun, and he's coming back out

182
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and she's like, what's going on. And I'm like, there's

183
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:12.919
<v Speaker 1>a monster outside of his war, you know what I'm

184
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>trying to make the sound for. And I'm worried because

185
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Daddy now is just going out there. And so I

186
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.919
<v Speaker 1>go into my room, which was on the opposite side

187
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:22.960
<v Speaker 1>from where my mama was and on the side that

188
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.440
<v Speaker 1>the carport was on, and I'm looking out the windows,

189
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.120
<v Speaker 1>following him around the house to make sure nothing got him.

190
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:33.480
<v Speaker 1>And he comes back in there and he's like, there's

191
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing out there, I don't see anything at all,

192
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.799
<v Speaker 1>and he had a flashflight, you know, and had his

193
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.840
<v Speaker 1>gun and all that, and I'm still just shaking, you know,

194
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:45.519
<v Speaker 1>and Mama's scared now. So he tells me, he said,

195
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>go in there and call your ain't Overly. Now. My

196
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Ain't Overly was my Mama's sister, and they had all

197
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.919
<v Speaker 1>grown up in that area, and Ain't Overly was already

198
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:57.279
<v Speaker 1>in her probably sixties at this time, so she had

199
00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.759
<v Speaker 1>lived there forever and ever. And so I'm in there

200
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.679
<v Speaker 1>or what we've just heard roaring and growling and moaning

201
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:05.000
<v Speaker 1>on the phone by trying to make this sound, and

202
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.879
<v Speaker 1>she said, oh, honey, that's probably just Miss clay Shilti's

203
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>bulls across the street from us, you know. And Miss

204
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:15.240
<v Speaker 1>clay Shiltie was an older, elderly woman lived there by herself,

205
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.559
<v Speaker 1>and she did she had, you know, her husband, whod

206
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:19.519
<v Speaker 1>passed away, but she still had the bulls and the

207
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 1>cows and the chickens and all that. There was a

208
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>water tower over in the right side of her pasture

209
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.759
<v Speaker 1>and everything. And I'm telling you, we were in the

210
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:32.720
<v Speaker 1>country anyway. So that made me feel better, made my

211
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:37.200
<v Speaker 1>mama and daddy feel better, and so we slept okay. Well,

212
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.559
<v Speaker 1>the next day, Miss clay Shilty was at our house

213
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:42.159
<v Speaker 1>because she would come and give Mama her shots for

214
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>pain relief, and so she was up there in the

215
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.480
<v Speaker 1>front room. My daddy was in there and he calls

216
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.159
<v Speaker 1>me and to ask me come up. You know, I

217
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:51.519
<v Speaker 1>was in the back of the house where the liver

218
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>room was at, and he said, did we come up

219
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.799
<v Speaker 1>here and make that sound? But we heard last night

220
00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:59.440
<v Speaker 1>from Miss clay Shilty and she's just sitting there, you know,

221
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.240
<v Speaker 1>rocking the rocket chair. And so he had already told

222
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.320
<v Speaker 1>her the story. And so I'm up there roaring and

223
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.720
<v Speaker 1>moaning and growling, and she's like, oh, mister Bob, I

224
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:11.919
<v Speaker 1>wish she hadn't told me that. And he said, no,

225
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.879
<v Speaker 1>he it's okay, because overly told me that it was

226
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.759
<v Speaker 1>probably alls bulls or something. And she said, oh, no, no,

227
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.360
<v Speaker 1>mister Bob, I don't have any of my cows. Are

228
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:23.639
<v Speaker 1>my bulls over there right now? They're all up in

229
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:27.720
<v Speaker 1>decab and I don't remember what was having done. I

230
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.960
<v Speaker 1>can't remember exactly. It's like they were being bred or something.

231
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.679
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, she said, there's none of my bulls or

232
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:36.480
<v Speaker 1>cows are over there right now, and she says, as

233
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:40.200
<v Speaker 1>a matter of fact, something's been stealing my chickens. Of course,

234
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.279
<v Speaker 1>we didn't know anything about anything at that time. We

235
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't know anything about Bigfoot. Looking back, I remember I

236
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.440
<v Speaker 1>was Daddy's girl, you know, and anywhere Daddy went, I went.

237
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:57.879
<v Speaker 1>I helped him with everything. He had killed apolsum one

238
00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:00.600
<v Speaker 1>time that was up around the house and we didn't

239
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:02.399
<v Speaker 1>it was late in the evening, so we didn't have

240
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.279
<v Speaker 1>time to bury it, and so he said, well, let's

241
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.120
<v Speaker 1>just go around back. We'll put it in the trash can.

242
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.240
<v Speaker 1>We had, you know, a metal trash can, and so

243
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:10.720
<v Speaker 1>he said, we'll put it in the trash can. We'll

244
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:12.159
<v Speaker 1>come back out in the morning, we'll bury it. And

245
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:13.960
<v Speaker 1>so he put the lid on it, and he put

246
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.840
<v Speaker 1>a big old rock on top of the lid so

247
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.320
<v Speaker 1>nothing would get into it and get it. And so

248
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.039
<v Speaker 1>the next day he called me and he said, come on,

249
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:23.960
<v Speaker 1>let's go out and bury the possum. And we go

250
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.919
<v Speaker 1>out the back door, and you know, the trash can

251
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:28.519
<v Speaker 1>is still sitting there with the lid and the rock

252
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and everything. So he takes the rock off, takes the

253
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:34.679
<v Speaker 1>lid off, he said, looked at me, what'd you do?

254
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:38.519
<v Speaker 1>I said, we told about He said, the possum's gone

255
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>and I said, day, I didn't get that possum. I

256
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:45.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't do anything with that possum. He said, you serious,

257
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.480
<v Speaker 1>and I said no. And you know, we had no

258
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:50.720
<v Speaker 1>clue what had happened, but that lid was still on it,

259
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:52.759
<v Speaker 1>and that rock was still on that lid, but that

260
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:55.879
<v Speaker 1>possum was gone, so something had to have taken that heavy.

261
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean it was a big rock, it was, yeah,

262
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:01.440
<v Speaker 1>it was at least the rock was at least like

263
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:04.159
<v Speaker 1>a foot all the way around foot with you know,

264
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:08.000
<v Speaker 1>foot wide, foot high. It was a heavy rock. That

265
00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:13.559
<v Speaker 1>was interesting. So now looking back, I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah.

266
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:15.840
<v Speaker 1>And we would hear all sorts of stuff. We'd hear

267
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.279
<v Speaker 1>high pitched screams. When we first moved there, I was

268
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.879
<v Speaker 1>a lot younger, but there was a railroad track on

269
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.559
<v Speaker 1>the other side of that water tower, and we used

270
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:27.960
<v Speaker 1>to hear screams and it sounded like a woman's screaming.

271
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:30.600
<v Speaker 1>And so, of course Ain't Over we lived there, and

272
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:32.759
<v Speaker 1>we'd always call ain't ovally anytime we didn't know what

273
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:35.519
<v Speaker 1>was going on, and she said, no, we thought it

274
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:37.759
<v Speaker 1>was a little lady that lived in that little pothouse

275
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.759
<v Speaker 1>by the water tower getting beat up or something. And

276
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:43.120
<v Speaker 1>she's like, oh no, no, that's that black panther that

277
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:45.919
<v Speaker 1>walks up and down the railroad tracks. And so that's

278
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:49.080
<v Speaker 1>just what I always thought, you know, that was. And

279
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>it may have been a panther for all I know.

280
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, there was lots of strange things wow going

281
00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:56.960
<v Speaker 1>on around there, and.

282
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:01.240
<v Speaker 2>That wasn't really the catalyst that got you interested. You

283
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:04.159
<v Speaker 2>just reflect back on math and you you put those.

284
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Things together, right right, Yeah, I mean because.

285
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.919
<v Speaker 2>I just love that. I don't it's not the craziest

286
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:14.480
<v Speaker 2>story in the world. That's not the most action pack.

287
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:19.039
<v Speaker 2>But she told me that story, like what three years ago?

288
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:23.879
<v Speaker 2>Would you ever retail that on camera? And she goes,

289
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:25.799
<v Speaker 2>and I haven't really seen her much or I had

290
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:27.399
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity.

291
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.840
<v Speaker 1>To do it since it's just so cool, you know,

292
00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:32.600
<v Speaker 1>looking back. And I remember too, I dated a guy

293
00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:37.879
<v Speaker 1>from Forem in Arkansas and I was but I've always

294
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:41.879
<v Speaker 1>been interested in like the Fount Monster. I just didn't

295
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:44.240
<v Speaker 1>know what it was. You know. We knew that there

296
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:48.200
<v Speaker 1>was supposed to be a monster, and some people called

297
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:51.200
<v Speaker 1>him the Boogeyman. My mama would always you know, when

298
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:52.919
<v Speaker 1>she said, will you be careful going out there? You know,

299
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the boogieman will get you. We just thought that was

300
00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the saying back then. But the Fount Monster. Once we

301
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:02.240
<v Speaker 1>started hearing about the Fount Monster and stuff, and then

302
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:05.519
<v Speaker 1>the movie was made about Boggy Creek, we thought, okay,

303
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:08.480
<v Speaker 1>even though Mama and Daddy is telling us, it's not real.

304
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:12.799
<v Speaker 1>When you start having people in the area talking about it,

305
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:17.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, you listen to that stuff. A guy I

306
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:22.480
<v Speaker 1>dated was from Foreman, Arkansas, and he had said that

307
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.279
<v Speaker 1>him and his daddy would go hunting and Foreman and

308
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.480
<v Speaker 1>that's not too far from foulc either, you know. He

309
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.480
<v Speaker 1>said that he remembers one time that they were they

310
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:36.759
<v Speaker 1>were coming out of the woods. They had parked alongside

311
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:39.360
<v Speaker 1>of the road and there was a big pasture out there,

312
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:41.879
<v Speaker 1>and then the pasture was lined with trees and stuff.

313
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:45.399
<v Speaker 1>And he said that we're sitting in the front yard

314
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.559
<v Speaker 1>of my house in the car talking about this. And

315
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.279
<v Speaker 1>because I had told him about what I had heard,

316
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:54.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know, a couple of years earlier, because

317
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I was dating him when I was sixteen and he

318
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.519
<v Speaker 1>was seventeen, and so we're talking about stuff, and I

319
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:02.159
<v Speaker 1>was telling him about what I had heard when I

320
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.599
<v Speaker 1>was fourteen everything, and so he starts telling me this,

321
00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:07.200
<v Speaker 1>and he said, well, you know, we were loading up

322
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.119
<v Speaker 1>the truck, putting our guns and stuff in there, and

323
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.640
<v Speaker 1>my daddy was kept staring across the pasture and he

324
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:15.839
<v Speaker 1>goes and I looked over there, and I said, he said,

325
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.160
<v Speaker 1>what are you looking at? And he goes, do you

326
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:20.359
<v Speaker 1>see that that creature? And he said there was an

327
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.359
<v Speaker 1>upright creature walking along the tree line on the backside

328
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.000
<v Speaker 1>of the pasture and it just went into the woods.

329
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:28.640
<v Speaker 1>And I remember but while he was telling me that,

330
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I was like, do you think you could have been

331
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:32.960
<v Speaker 1>a fout monster? And he slung his car door up

332
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:35.640
<v Speaker 1>and a way like he was being pulled out of

333
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:39.119
<v Speaker 1>the car, and I screamed, bloody Murdier. And my daddy

334
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:41.119
<v Speaker 1>came out on the front porch to see what was

335
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:48.160
<v Speaker 1>going on. But what's funny is we're Facebook friends on

336
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.519
<v Speaker 1>you know now on Facebook. And he had been living

337
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.640
<v Speaker 1>in North Carolina and him and his family were going

338
00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:58.240
<v Speaker 1>to move back to Arkansas, but they found a cattle

339
00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:02.279
<v Speaker 1>farm in Oklahoma, so they're living in Oklahoma now, and

340
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:05.759
<v Speaker 1>I'll post stuff on my Facebook sometimes my personal Facebook

341
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:08.880
<v Speaker 1>about Bigfoot and then I share the show and stuff,

342
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:11.519
<v Speaker 1>and then I'll delete it after I've shared it and stuff.

343
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:16.279
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, so he was seeing Bigfoot stuff and so

344
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:21.000
<v Speaker 1>he messaged me after he moved to uh, Oklahoma and

345
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:24.119
<v Speaker 1>where he's living now is not far from where we

346
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:28.200
<v Speaker 1>recorded the gibberish what we call tribulation Babe. So he

347
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:31.559
<v Speaker 1>started asking me questions, well, does bigfood do this? And

348
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:35.039
<v Speaker 1>do they do that? And do they do this? And

349
00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:37.720
<v Speaker 1>so I'm finally I said, why are you asking me

350
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:40.599
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff? And he said, well, my daughter's dating

351
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:43.240
<v Speaker 1>a guy. And he said that he's been hearing some

352
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:47.640
<v Speaker 1>weird stuff and he's describing all this stuff. And I'm like,

353
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:51.400
<v Speaker 1>that sounds really interested Todd. And he goes, well, do

354
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:52.920
<v Speaker 1>you think it could be Bigfoot? And I said, I

355
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:55.039
<v Speaker 1>think it could. I don't know if it is, but

356
00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:58.039
<v Speaker 1>I think it could. And I said, I said where

357
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:02.079
<v Speaker 1>does where does he live? And he was telling me

358
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.279
<v Speaker 1>and so I'm pulling up Google maps. He said he

359
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.680
<v Speaker 1>lives just like three miles from me, and so he's

360
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:09.559
<v Speaker 1>telling me where he lives. I said, can you just

361
00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:12.519
<v Speaker 1>send me a pen. You know, on Google Maps, it

362
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:16.720
<v Speaker 1>was like five miles from Tribulation Bay, who recorded. And

363
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:18.880
<v Speaker 1>I told him, I said, I said, you don't want

364
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.720
<v Speaker 1>to hear what I'm fising to tell you. And he's

365
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.160
<v Speaker 1>like what, And I said, your house is real close

366
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:27.160
<v Speaker 1>to this. He's like yeah, And I said, let me

367
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:29.160
<v Speaker 1>send you a link, and so I sent him the

368
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:31.839
<v Speaker 1>link that carry Arnold did on Sisters of the Moon

369
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:35.079
<v Speaker 1>where we're talking about all that. I said, I said,

370
00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:38.759
<v Speaker 1>you're going to hear a story where we recorded gibberish

371
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:40.799
<v Speaker 1>and had a lot of activity. I said, that's about

372
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:44.400
<v Speaker 1>five miles from your sparre and he was like yeah.

373
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:49.000
<v Speaker 1>So now he's all the time sending me stuff. But

374
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:50.160
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty cool.
