<v Speaker 4>Day without Cliff, but their guests we have lined up

13
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:47.399

14
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 4>I mean, they're too important.

15
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.439
<v Speaker 3>So I was talking to Matt Our producer Matt perut

16
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 3>or Uber producer Mask and the interview kind of got

17
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.320
<v Speaker 3>to see some Bobo storytime stories and kind of get

<v Speaker 4>That. So welcome to Bigfoot Beyond that.

20
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for having me. Yeah, you know, since I handle

21
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the social media requests, it had occurred

22
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Speaker 2>to me when we were talking about guests, it's like, oh,

23
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.200
<v Speaker 2>the one person that people ask for the most is Bobo.

24
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.000
<v Speaker 2>It's so you would be the perfect guest for this

25
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 2>week's episode.

26
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, thanks for having me.

27
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 2>Like you said, there's so many stories that I've heard

28
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 2>that it had been years since I've heard them that

29
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.079
<v Speaker 2>I kind of jot down, like, oh, we should talk

30
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.359
<v Speaker 2>about these on the podcast. And then when I hear

31
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.959
<v Speaker 2>you on other podcasts, there's always questions that come up

32
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 2>for me that I've never asked that I thought, oh, well,

33
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 2>we should just ask those questions. So you get to

34
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.439
<v Speaker 2>be the guest on your own podcast this week.

35
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 4>All right.

36
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, one of the things I was curious about, and

37
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:44.480
<v Speaker 2>I think we could give a shout out to our

38
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.359
<v Speaker 2>good friend Tony, because Tony merkel over at The Confessionals

39
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>just did a great deep dive interview with you on

40
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.760
<v Speaker 2>his podcast, sort of the Origin story. But I always

41
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>love hearing about who were the first other researchers that

42
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>you met, like after you were tracking down Sasquatch stories

43
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 2>and meeting local witnesses, Like who were the first contemporary

44
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>people in the field that you met that were going

45
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:05.760
<v Speaker 2>and doing the same thing.

46
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 4>Probably Ray Crow, I guess.

47
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:10.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I didn't know that, So were you? Were you

48
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:12.840
<v Speaker 2>logging in northern California at that time.

49
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.919
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and I was going up to Portland.

50
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 3>Anyways. I was going to go surf up in northern

51
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 3>Oregon and and I had friends. I loved going to Portland,

52
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, back then, that was before Portland got totally

53
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:25.520
<v Speaker 3>blown up.

54
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 4>You know, it was like a lot.

55
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.800
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't the traffic and crowds, and it was a

56
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 3>really it was my favorite city for years and years.

57
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:34.759
<v Speaker 3>So anyways, I was up there and I knew about

58
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 3>I had someone gave me a copy of the track

59
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 3>record somehow, and I got some I was subscribed to

60
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.960
<v Speaker 3>that for a while, and I made it up there

61
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 3>for a meeting.

62
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 4>I remember, I'm going into that basement place, and I can't.

63
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:49.159
<v Speaker 3>Remember all the people I met. I met a couple

64
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:51.280
<v Speaker 3>of women that were there. There was a lot of

65
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 3>older people. There was no in my age there. And

66
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 3>that's when I got to know Ray a little bit. Yeah,

67
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.639
<v Speaker 3>I met Ray and a few other people. I can't

68
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 3>remember who I was there now, knowing I stayed in

69
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:03.879
<v Speaker 3>touch with I just Ray a little bit over the years.

70
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.280
<v Speaker 3>And then who did I meet. I saw an article

71
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:10.400
<v Speaker 3>on John Fredis in the in the paper in the

72
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:12.960
<v Speaker 3>in the San Francisco Chronicle, and I think he said

73
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.639
<v Speaker 3>it was ninety six or ninety seven, and I wrote him, uh,

74
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 3>and I didn't I didn't have an email back then.

75
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:20.159
<v Speaker 3>I just called him and left him a couple of

76
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:25.199
<v Speaker 3>messages and then we talked on the phone, or I

77
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.240
<v Speaker 3>think we were just yeah, I never talked to him.

78
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.080
<v Speaker 3>We were just kind of phone tagging because I was

79
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:31.639
<v Speaker 3>gone fishing all the time back then.

80
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:33.520
<v Speaker 4>You know, it was before I sell, before I had

81
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 4>a cell phone.

82
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.759
<v Speaker 3>And I was I was just not home ever, so

83
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 3>I didn't come back once every two three four weeks

84
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.039
<v Speaker 3>and check my voicemail on the phone. And I got

85
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:45.800
<v Speaker 3>a couple of messages, but we never we never met up.

86
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 3>And then I saw another article with Robert Leiterman, the

87
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.000
<v Speaker 3>ranger from Humboldt Redwood State Parking there, and I think

88
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 3>it might have.

89
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

90
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 3>I didn't really talk to him though, until the Grasshopper

91
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 3>trail story, which was like a big deal at the time.

92
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 3>It was the BFL website, it just started up. I

93
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.759
<v Speaker 3>guess it was the VRB what was not VRB, the

94
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:05.919
<v Speaker 3>what was that one.

95
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Called again with the IVBC the Internet Virtual Bigfoot Conference.

96
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, might might have still been it might have still

97
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.599
<v Speaker 3>been during that time, or no, no, it was already No,

98
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker 3>it was Bfrro by that time.

99
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was Bfrro. Sorry.

100
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.560
<v Speaker 3>So I called Robert and he was just like this

101
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:24.079
<v Speaker 3>guy sounds like a nut. So never I never met

102
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 3>up with him either. And then I had my incident

103
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 3>where that story I told you know, my first encounter

104
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.920
<v Speaker 3>I had for sure had a definitely, definitively had a

105
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.879
<v Speaker 3>big Foot encounter, like no doubt about it whatsoever. It

106
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.839
<v Speaker 3>was to this day, I was still like the most powerful,

107
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 3>like made the biggest impression on me, and not just

108
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:45.639
<v Speaker 3>because it was the first. It's still the most intense

109
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.079
<v Speaker 3>encounter I ever had by far.

110
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.519
<v Speaker 2>I was going to ask you about that story because

111
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 2>one of the first, I mean the first time I

112
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.639
<v Speaker 2>was ever aware of you was on Mysterious Encounters in

113
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 2>some of those episodes. But then if you remember back

114
00:04:57.879 --> 00:04:59.639
<v Speaker 2>in the days of blog talk radio, I think the

115
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.199
<v Speaker 2>first or at least one of the first Bigfoot shows

116
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 2>was Let's Talk Bigfoot, and a little bit of that

117
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.160
<v Speaker 2>story was in there, and I had that sort of

118
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.639
<v Speaker 2>jotted down here because I know we've never talked about

119
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 2>that on Bigfoot of Beyond. So you got to tell

120
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 2>that's got to be the first Bobo story for the

121
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.279
<v Speaker 2>listeners in this episode for sure, because I'd love to

122
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:15.959
<v Speaker 2>hear it again too.

123
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. So, I mean, I've been looking around for years

124
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 4>and years, you know, like this was two thousand and one,

125
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.240
<v Speaker 4>and I've been in touch with John Fredish.

126
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 3>We've never we've never met, and he was an investigator

127
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.279
<v Speaker 3>for the Districttorney's office up in del North County. And

128
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 3>I was down and humble. I was commercial fisherman and

129
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 3>logging and stuff, and so I was. I was gone

130
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 3>a lot. But he called me up one day and

131
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.240
<v Speaker 3>he goes, Dude, he goes, I just talked to a

132
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 3>woman from the res from the Rocros.

133
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.279
<v Speaker 4>She just had a sighting.

134
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.600
<v Speaker 3>She just saw a bigfoot and I was like, no,

135
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.360
<v Speaker 3>and it was it was a really broken up message.

136
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 3>It was when self, I mean, this is cell phones

137
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.800
<v Speaker 3>were really chanky back then where we lived at least,

138
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:02.800
<v Speaker 3>and it was really broken up and my reception was

139
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.480
<v Speaker 3>terribleck and barely hear it. But he was saying it

140
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.360
<v Speaker 3>was a year ago today that the woman had was

141
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:07.199
<v Speaker 3>setting and I didn't know that.

142
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.639
<v Speaker 4>I thought it was that day. I got all excited and.

143
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.439
<v Speaker 3>I had to drive down and started Humboldt and borrow

144
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.360
<v Speaker 3>my buddy's night vision scope was a Ukrainian model, I remember,

145
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.720
<v Speaker 3>with a chen two nights scope and you know, just

146
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.160
<v Speaker 3>pretty junky about today's standards, but it was the best

147
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:23.199
<v Speaker 3>I'd ever seen in person. So I was all excited

148
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 3>and he let me borrow it. So I went up there.

149
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:27.160
<v Speaker 3>I went to where he was talking about. It was

150
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.319
<v Speaker 3>on the Bald Hills. It was just on the backside

151
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 3>of Roadway National Park above the Klamath River, and I

152
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.319
<v Speaker 3>was almost due west of the PG film site a

153
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:38.439
<v Speaker 3>little bit, well, not Doe west. I was west southwest

154
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.279
<v Speaker 3>of there by about ten or twelve hour miles maybe,

155
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.839
<v Speaker 3>And so I went up there and it was this

156
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 3>little bit of it. And when he told me this story,

157
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.240
<v Speaker 3>I knew exactly what he was talking about. I'd been

158
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.720
<v Speaker 3>there a bunch of times, and it was right where.

159
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.040
<v Speaker 4>It is called Bald Hills Road. It goes from the coast,

160
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.480
<v Speaker 4>it runs through the park and then it drops down.

161
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.240
<v Speaker 3>It goes over the coastal range right and then the

162
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.560
<v Speaker 3>drops on into the Clounth River Valley and then the

163
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.240
<v Speaker 3>Hoop of Reservation and a lot of people are Fami

164
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.040
<v Speaker 3>with the Hoop of Project book by Dave Polies.

165
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 4>Hoop is there, and then it.

166
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.079
<v Speaker 3>Comes in the urok Res, which is from the confluence

167
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 3>of the Trinity, which is the Trinity River goes through

168
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Hoopa and the Cloud River comes down from Oregon through

169
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.839
<v Speaker 3>northern California. A lot of people have heard of the Klimath.

170
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:25.839
<v Speaker 3>So you get up to the top, and my buddies

171
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 3>that lived out in Wichipec, they were telling me a

172
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 3>couple couple of them had seen and one of my

173
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.759
<v Speaker 3>best friends had seen a really old, broken down, limping,

174
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.759
<v Speaker 3>kind of patchy hair, looked like I was about to die, emaciated,

175
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.560
<v Speaker 3>about a seven and a half foot tall bigfoot like

176
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.720
<v Speaker 3>had the you know, classic male male baldness pattern to it,

177
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.000
<v Speaker 3>gray along its head, so it was graying along its

178
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.480
<v Speaker 3>chest like the its temples are all gray.

179
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:54.279
<v Speaker 4>And it had kind of like a gray beard.

180
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.519
<v Speaker 3>And gray chest and had like that silvery sheen of

181
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.240
<v Speaker 3>the black, not really a sheen. It was black, but

182
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.480
<v Speaker 3>you could see that it was not like that like

183
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.000
<v Speaker 3>the one I saw was black and I had silver

184
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:04.639
<v Speaker 3>SHENI was like young and healthy looking. This thing was

185
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.399
<v Speaker 3>old like grit like, not silver shiny hair, but like

186
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:12.000
<v Speaker 3>dull gray hair. And then it had patchy fur missing,

187
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:13.959
<v Speaker 3>and he could see the ribs. They could see the

188
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.600
<v Speaker 3>ribs on it, and it was limping really slow, and

189
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.720
<v Speaker 3>it just he said, the look on its face.

190
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:19.600
<v Speaker 4>It just froze.

191
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:21.279
<v Speaker 3>And then they locked eyes with it and slowed down

192
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:24.040
<v Speaker 3>as they drove passed it, like close, like thirty five feet.

193
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.319
<v Speaker 3>It just like tried to do the freeze thing, like

194
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, I'm a bigfoot all the street. It won't

195
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:29.800
<v Speaker 3>see me. They just slowed down. They were staring at

196
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.720
<v Speaker 3>it started them. It was just like, I'm old, I'm

197
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.399
<v Speaker 3>broken up, about to die. Leave me alone. He busted

198
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 3>me and just leave me alone. And then it just

199
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:40.879
<v Speaker 3>started limping off again. And so I was up there

200
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:44.679
<v Speaker 3>for weeks. This has been going on for about at

201
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:47.879
<v Speaker 3>that point two months, six weeks, had been getting reports

202
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:48.399
<v Speaker 3>out of there, and then.

203
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:51.440
<v Speaker 4>From Humboldt State University.

204
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 3>Graduation time, a lot of you know, a lot of

205
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.200
<v Speaker 3>parents and stuff come up there. It's most of like

206
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.080
<v Speaker 3>I think seventy eightiethh cent of the population of the

207
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker 3>school from southern California. So when the families come up

208
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:04.000
<v Speaker 3>for graduation in May, you know, they go around cruise

209
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.440
<v Speaker 3>around the you know, look at the nature and all that.

210
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:10.320
<v Speaker 3>And this is about where this happened, is about our

211
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:13.759
<v Speaker 3>ten minutes hour hour ten minutes north of the university,

212
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.799
<v Speaker 3>and you can do a loop road. You can go

213
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:17.440
<v Speaker 3>up to where the museum is in Willow Creek, and

214
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:18.720
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people know Willow Creek at the big

215
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Foot Museum, the original one up there. Then you go

216
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:24.159
<v Speaker 3>down the Trinity River through Hooper Reservation. You go to

217
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 3>the confluence of the Cloud in the Trinity and you

218
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.480
<v Speaker 3>drive down a couple miles and below Witch Bag and

219
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 3>then you go back up and you go over the

220
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:32.759
<v Speaker 3>Bald Hills and drop down a highay one on one

221
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:34.799
<v Speaker 3>Reway National Park and then back down along the coast

222
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:37.200
<v Speaker 3>back to Arcada. So a lot of people do that loop.

223
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.440
<v Speaker 3>And I talked to two different car loads of people

224
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.519
<v Speaker 3>that you know, were graduating their parents' up visiting, and

225
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:44.879
<v Speaker 3>they saw the same thing within within about a mile

226
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.120
<v Speaker 3>of each They were all within the same mile zone

227
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:49.679
<v Speaker 3>of this thing about ready to trying to cross road,

228
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:53.000
<v Speaker 3>this old gray limping Bigfoot. So I was like, oh

229
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.960
<v Speaker 3>my god, like that's that's that's what you know. I

230
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.519
<v Speaker 3>gotta find this thing and I that's when I started

231
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:00.679
<v Speaker 3>calling Melgrum too. I didn't I didn't no Meldrum, but

232
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:03.200
<v Speaker 3>I was telling him, Hey, these things. You know, it's

233
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.399
<v Speaker 3>a it's around, it's it's old, it's about to die.

234
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:09.919
<v Speaker 3>It might be a good place to focus on. I

235
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:11.840
<v Speaker 3>think he sent sent him an email, and I think

236
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.759
<v Speaker 3>he he emailed me back once and he sounded like, yeah,

237
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:17.159
<v Speaker 3>he was excited, like that sounds really good.

238
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:18.639
<v Speaker 4>I called Raycrow and I told him about it, and

239
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:19.080
<v Speaker 4>he was like.

240
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, that's uh, that's that's exactly what you're looking for.

241
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:25.200
<v Speaker 4>Said, yeah, I know. So I was. I was getting

242
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:26.919
<v Speaker 4>all excited about that. I was up there a lot,

243
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:29.480
<v Speaker 4>didn't see anything, didn't hear anything.

244
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:34.360
<v Speaker 3>And then so John John fredis the Dunark County District

245
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.799
<v Speaker 3>Attorney investigator, you know, he's a law enforcement officer.

246
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.440
<v Speaker 4>He called me up all excited about the sighting of

247
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:40.679
<v Speaker 4>that you'ur ak woman.

248
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 3>He goes, you know, she's really responsible, she's great witness,

249
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:46.759
<v Speaker 3>you know, real, real together a woman.

250
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:47.840
<v Speaker 4>She works for the tribe.

251
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:51.279
<v Speaker 3>You know, she's a senior kind of up there person,

252
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:54.399
<v Speaker 3>well respected. And he goes, yeah, and she she sought

253
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.399
<v Speaker 3>cross the road. And I knew exactly, and it was.

254
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.200
<v Speaker 3>It was strange, man, because I've talked to her several

255
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 3>times since then. It was a smaller bigfoot and it

256
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.120
<v Speaker 3>was dragging a rolled up piece of cardboard it had

257
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:08.919
<v Speaker 3>in one hand, and the other hand it had it

258
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:11.919
<v Speaker 3>was holding like the the cuff of a sleeve of

259
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.759
<v Speaker 3>a long, a long sleeved kid's bright blue.

260
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:20.159
<v Speaker 4>Child's top, like long sleeved shirt. There's dragon.

261
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.399
<v Speaker 3>I was holding the cup of one sleeve and then

262
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:24.279
<v Speaker 3>the rest of it was dragging behind her.

263
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:27.360
<v Speaker 4>On the ground, or it heard him, whatever it was,

264
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 4>and then.

265
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.360
<v Speaker 3>It saw her and it just took off just so

266
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.960
<v Speaker 3>fast like a deer, just zoom zoomed off, kicked up

267
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:36.679
<v Speaker 3>a cloud of dust behind it. It was just gone.

268
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:40.200
<v Speaker 3>And so I was like, no, that just happened like today,

269
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:42.279
<v Speaker 3>And I got that. So I got the night vision

270
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:43.879
<v Speaker 3>scip and I was all said, I packed my stuff

271
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:45.600
<v Speaker 3>up soon as so.

272
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:46.639
<v Speaker 4>So I got the that vision scrip.

273
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:48.000
<v Speaker 3>I go up there, I set my chair up in

274
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.200
<v Speaker 3>the and it, mind you, at this point, I've been

275
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:53.600
<v Speaker 3>looking for years and years, never had anything happened, never

276
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.039
<v Speaker 3>heard anything that I knew, you know, in hindsight, I

277
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:57.799
<v Speaker 3>did have some interactions with him.

278
00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:58.639
<v Speaker 4>But I just didn't know it.

279
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:02.120
<v Speaker 3>I was ignorant the the signs sounds.

280
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.519
<v Speaker 4>But so I went to the meadow.

281
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:07.639
<v Speaker 3>And so the meadow is kind of like a crescent shape,

282
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, like half moon shape, and it's gone now

283
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:14.159
<v Speaker 3>got clear cut. But it was probably like I always

284
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:16.159
<v Speaker 3>mess up the dimensions because it seems so big, but

285
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm reckoning. It was about maybe one hundred and twenty yards.

286
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.440
<v Speaker 3>It was a half moon shape starting from the road,

287
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:25.039
<v Speaker 3>so the road around north south, So this meadow ran

288
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:27.000
<v Speaker 3>parallel to the road on the east side of the road,

289
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:29.480
<v Speaker 3>and the road around north south along the ridge, and

290
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:32.559
<v Speaker 3>the road was the dividing line between the National Park roadway,

291
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:36.919
<v Speaker 3>State National Park and private timberland and some ranch and

292
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:39.679
<v Speaker 3>holdings in there. There's a few people live out there,

293
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:42.440
<v Speaker 3>not many, like maybe six houses along it's eleven miles

294
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:44.759
<v Speaker 3>of road, and they were mostly down at the end

295
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:48.879
<v Speaker 3>of the road, down by the river, the Klamath. So

296
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:50.879
<v Speaker 3>as you drive up along this meadow, you see the

297
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:53.279
<v Speaker 3>middle on your right, and then alongside of the road

298
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:56.399
<v Speaker 3>there's a patch of woods maybe thirty yards long by

299
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.679
<v Speaker 3>about fifteen yards thick something like that. Both sides of

300
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:02.320
<v Speaker 3>it was the meadow and in front of it was

301
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:04.440
<v Speaker 3>the meadow, so it was like an island that backed

302
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.360
<v Speaker 3>up to the road. So I pulled up there and parked.

303
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:09.919
<v Speaker 3>There was a kind of a water spike park people

304
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:12.840
<v Speaker 3>get buy no problem, and I let my dog out,

305
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:14.159
<v Speaker 3>let him run around for a little.

306
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:14.440
<v Speaker 4>Bit d day.

307
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.120
<v Speaker 3>He was that big one hundred and five pounds piople

308
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.000
<v Speaker 3>great dog, super mill. Everyone thought it was a black

309
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:22.600
<v Speaker 3>live because he was so chill, and so I let

310
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:24.080
<v Speaker 3>him run around for a while. Then I put him

311
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.080
<v Speaker 3>back in the truck in the front seat, and I

312
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:28.120
<v Speaker 3>got my I had one of those plastic you know,

313
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.799
<v Speaker 3>picnic chairs, you know, the little cheap chair you get

314
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.120
<v Speaker 3>from Costco whatever. I had one of those, had machety

315
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:41.000
<v Speaker 3>for protection, had my nightscope and uh spotlight, and I

316
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:43.039
<v Speaker 3>think when I had my extra clothes in case it

317
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:48.039
<v Speaker 3>got cold or mosquitoes. And this was in May. It

318
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.279
<v Speaker 3>was May twenty first, two thousand and one, and there

319
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 3>wasn't There wasn't. I don't think there was any moon

320
00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:54.879
<v Speaker 3>at all. It might have been a little bit of

321
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:56.840
<v Speaker 3>a moon, but it was clear. It was warn it was,

322
00:13:57.639 --> 00:13:59.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, it was in the eighties that day up

323
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.000
<v Speaker 3>there at night.

324
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:02.240
<v Speaker 4>I think I think at nine.

325
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:04.679
<v Speaker 3>O'clock it was still like seventy four seventy five degrees.

326
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:06.720
<v Speaker 3>But I'm sitting there and I go out there and

327
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:10.320
<v Speaker 3>I started doing some really killer calls, like roars and howls,

328
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.080
<v Speaker 3>and I'm doing then east end of the canyon. They

329
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:14.720
<v Speaker 3>were carrying all the way down the river. I could

330
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.000
<v Speaker 3>hear echoes going down. I was like, dang, my voice

331
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.000
<v Speaker 3>is you know, I'm killing it tonight. It's going far.

332
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:22.240
<v Speaker 3>It was going miles now. I was doing some roars.

333
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.240
<v Speaker 3>I've seen some aggressive calls. In about seven forty five,

334
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:29.720
<v Speaker 3>I think it was seven forty five, Yeah, it was

335
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:30.799
<v Speaker 3>about seven forty five.

336
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.399
<v Speaker 4>I hear this wolf.

337
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.399
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was a wolf hybrid, like those husky

338
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.240
<v Speaker 3>wolf they were popular back then tho. They were like

339
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:40.720
<v Speaker 3>seven eights wolf in the eighth husky or malmeat whatever.

340
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.639
<v Speaker 3>And I thought, well, it sounds like my buddy's wolf,

341
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:46.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, wolf hybrid. It sounds like that, because it

342
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:47.879
<v Speaker 3>was it was a howl, and it was just it

343
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:50.240
<v Speaker 3>wasn't a kyo, you could tell, and it was a

344
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:52.120
<v Speaker 3>dog that had more of a wolf tone to it.

345
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:56.200
<v Speaker 3>It seemed like, I'm like, that's weird. And then it

346
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.039
<v Speaker 3>does it again and I hear the hell. I'm like, god,

347
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:01.799
<v Speaker 3>that's a strange how it keeps going on and on,

348
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:04.360
<v Speaker 3>and then it starts changing it more into like a

349
00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:08.840
<v Speaker 3>screaming yell roar, And right then I was like, oh

350
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:11.080
<v Speaker 3>my god, I just heard my first Bigfoot. I couldn't

351
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.279
<v Speaker 3>believe it. I was like, no, wait, it was miles

352
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:15.360
<v Speaker 3>due north. It was just due north to me.

353
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.679

355
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:32.159
<v Speaker 5>six months doesn't seem like a long time right in

356
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:34.360
<v Speaker 5>bigfoot Land. It's not very long because we've been looking

357
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:37.480
<v Speaker 5>for sasquatches for decades and decades and decades. But when

358
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:39.679
<v Speaker 5>you think about what can happen in three to six months,

359
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:41.720
<v Speaker 5>like what would you do in three to six months?

360
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:43.440
<v Speaker 5>But I'm going to give me a six months go

361
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:46.559
<v Speaker 5>squatching squad of course, of course, And how much do

362
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.639
<v Speaker 5>you think is going to get done during that time?

363
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:51.440
<v Speaker 5>In squatching you're gonna see one in six months? Probably not,

364
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.559
<v Speaker 5>But in three to six months, what you can see

365
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.320
<v Speaker 5>if you're not going to see a sasquatch is thicker, fuller,

366

<v Speaker 5>hair regrown from Hymns are sponsor Hymns not bad for

367

402
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:43.359
<v Speaker 3>I hear this hol come from the north, and I

403
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:45.519
<v Speaker 3>was like, I remember all my hair stuitup. I was

404
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:48.039
<v Speaker 3>just like the first for sure confirmation I had, like

405
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:49.559
<v Speaker 3>where I was, I was hearing a big for there's

406
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.519
<v Speaker 3>nothing else, there's no way as anything else. And it

407
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.319
<v Speaker 3>did this crazy college that they started doing these crazy screaming,

408
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:59.480
<v Speaker 3>how yell roar things like just up and down, like

409
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:02.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, even octaves different from the start to finish

410
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:05.000
<v Speaker 3>going through all the ranges of these calls and mixing

411
00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:06.720
<v Speaker 3>just different sounds good, and I was like no, So

412
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:11.519
<v Speaker 3>I start roaring back, going, you know, and barking and

413
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.880
<v Speaker 3>doing just aggressive gorilla kind of calls. And it's coming

414
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:17.839
<v Speaker 3>and I could tell it's coming closer, but it's still

415
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:20.640
<v Speaker 3>far away. So over the next forty five minutes, I'd

416
00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:22.319
<v Speaker 3>hear it roar every so often, and I'd do a

417
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:23.039
<v Speaker 3>roar and a yell, and.

418
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:23.640
<v Speaker 4>I was pounding.

419
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:28.200
<v Speaker 3>There was a chunk of there was some dead oak logs,

420
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:30.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, maybe I think they were probably like eighteen

421
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.400
<v Speaker 3>to thirty six inch sections of old logs that were

422
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:35.160
<v Speaker 3>left there that were cracked or split whatever.

423
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:37.920
<v Speaker 4>They weren't good for him, they just left them there.

424
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:39.920
<v Speaker 3>So I was beating on one of those and it

425
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:41.839
<v Speaker 3>was it was making them perfect because it was kind

426
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:44.079
<v Speaker 3>of elevated. It was part of it was sticking in

427
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:45.279
<v Speaker 3>the ground and the rest of it was sticking out

428
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:47.279
<v Speaker 3>of the ground. And I was banging, so I had

429
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:50.240
<v Speaker 3>the killer resonance, and I'm banging on, I think, and

430
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm screaming and roaring, and then it's I heard it

431
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:55.640
<v Speaker 3>call and it was pretty close. It sounded like it

432
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.720
<v Speaker 3>was definitely with less than a mile, and I was like,

433
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:00.359
<v Speaker 3>no way, it's coming in. It's coming in, and calling

434
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:02.240
<v Speaker 3>fretus and the phone going John, get up for the

435
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:02.720
<v Speaker 3>thing's coming.

436
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:03.119
<v Speaker 4>It's coming.

437
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:05.319
<v Speaker 3>He's like, I can't. I'm working, I can't. I just

438
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:08.119
<v Speaker 3>can't make it. There's no way. I was like, damn.

439
00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:10.720
<v Speaker 3>So then I called some of people. I said, hey,

440
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:12.119
<v Speaker 3>I got a there's a big foot coming. They just

441
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:15.000
<v Speaker 3>kind of laughed me, like yeah, whatever, whatever, and no.

442
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.599
<v Speaker 3>I called like several people and no one came. So

443
00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:19.519
<v Speaker 3>I was sitting there going all right, I'm just sitting

444
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:21.680
<v Speaker 3>there waiting, and I hadn't heard anything for about ten minutes,

445
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.799
<v Speaker 3>and then right then it.

446
00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:28.359
<v Speaker 4>Just starts roaring. It's right up. I'm facing Dewey's.

447
00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:31.000
<v Speaker 3>It's coming in at my nine o'clock, my due north,

448
00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:33.440
<v Speaker 3>and it's in the tree line just you know, however,

449
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:36.839
<v Speaker 3>far from me, like sixty yards or something, and I'm

450
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:40.079
<v Speaker 3>just like, oh my god, no way, and it just

451
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:42.599
<v Speaker 3>starts snapping. It came in dead Son, and all of

452
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.599
<v Speaker 3>a sudden, it just roars and screams, and you just

453
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.799
<v Speaker 3>hear just branches breaking and like small trees, sounds like

454
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:52.119
<v Speaker 3>snapping and just stomping feet.

455
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:56.880
<v Speaker 4>Just boom boom boom, and it's going.

456
00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:01.640
<v Speaker 3>Like and then they would do these craz eazy how

457
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:03.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, a scream and like and then it would

458
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:05.720
<v Speaker 3>end up with like a huge exhale and it sounded

459
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:08.839
<v Speaker 3>like horse up song that kind of sound at the end,

460
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:10.720
<v Speaker 3>like it was flapping its lips really hard. But there's

461
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:13.240
<v Speaker 3>doing these then before we do another scream, we're doing

462
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:16.079
<v Speaker 3>another huge inhale and then a huge exhil which it

463
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:20.480
<v Speaker 3>would end with the horse flap lipping horselip flapping sound.

464
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:22.839
<v Speaker 3>Now it's just like blown away, going oh my god,

465
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:24.640
<v Speaker 3>Like I mean, you can imagine at this point, I'm

466
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:27.920
<v Speaker 3>just like going no way. As soon as that first

467
00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:32.240
<v Speaker 3>scream happened to my two o'clock, I just heard this crack.

468
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:34.839
<v Speaker 3>And I know that's your imagination probably like just filling

469
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:38.480
<v Speaker 3>in the gaps, but I mentally pictured this thing on

470
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:40.759
<v Speaker 3>my left. I was, you know, kind of mentally picturing

471
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:42.680
<v Speaker 3>this thing what it looked like marked through the wizard.

472
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:46.759
<v Speaker 3>The second that crack happened. For whatever reason, I just

473
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:48.839
<v Speaker 3>saw it. It looked like playing this day in my head.

474
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:50.759
<v Speaker 3>But you know it's people already described it to me,

475
00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:52.799
<v Speaker 3>So I'm sure that's what it was. But I just

476
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:55.559
<v Speaker 3>see that old janking one hold in the branch, and

477
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:58.319
<v Speaker 3>it's like the crusty old guy is going crack like

478
00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:00.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm not dead yet, I'm still you know, like a

479
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:04.000
<v Speaker 3>mail you know, sasquatch whatever. I don't know, but I

480
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:05.880
<v Speaker 3>just had this mental image of the old one over

481
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:08.920
<v Speaker 3>on my right, crack in the tree.

482
00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:10.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, oh my god, there's two of them. And

483
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:13.759
<v Speaker 4>I was just like, whoah this is you know.

484
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:16.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh, And I had I had a disposable thirty five

485
00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:19.240
<v Speaker 3>millimeters cardboard camera. You know, you just take thirty those

486
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:22.119
<v Speaker 3>twenty seven pictures and drop it off at like save

487
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:25.160
<v Speaker 3>on or Walmart and get them developed. So I had

488
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:26.599
<v Speaker 3>one of those and I had a flash on it.

489
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:29.039
<v Speaker 3>So my plan was to antagonize the thing. And that

490
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:31.279
<v Speaker 3>was my plan going up there, was to antagonize if

491
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:34.240
<v Speaker 3>one came, to antagonize them enough to charge me, and

492
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:35.200
<v Speaker 3>then my plan was to.

493
00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:36.160
<v Speaker 4>Snap a photo of it.

494
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:39.119
<v Speaker 3>And this is the most stupidest part, because John cap't

495
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:41.480
<v Speaker 3>tell me all it'll charge you, and it'll stop ten

496
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:44.200
<v Speaker 3>or fifteen feet away and just roar and make you,

497
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:46.319
<v Speaker 3>you know, crap your pants and run away whatever.

498
00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:47.759
<v Speaker 4>And I'm like, I'm not going to no way, I'll

499
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:49.079
<v Speaker 4>be ready for it. I'm not scared.

500
00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:52.440
<v Speaker 3>And my plan was to try to jump out, do

501
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:55.559
<v Speaker 3>like a diving barrel roll and try to grab some

502
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:59.319
<v Speaker 3>hair off its leg. Don't you think stupid stuff Like

503
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:02.759
<v Speaker 3>I just thought like, it won't kill me, It won't

504
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:04.119
<v Speaker 3>kill me. And then I was thinking like, it'll probably

505
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:08.119
<v Speaker 3>kick me, but it won't kill me. And that plan

506
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:13.079
<v Speaker 3>didn't work. But so for the next So that big

507
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:15.160
<v Speaker 3>one that came in from the left, I mean, it

508
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:17.559
<v Speaker 3>sounded huge and it just it stopped. I mean when

509
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:19.319
<v Speaker 3>it stopped its feet, it was like you could feel it,

510
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:20.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, a little bit like it was and you

511
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:26.160
<v Speaker 3>could mean it was just boom boom, but really well spaced,

512
00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:28.759
<v Speaker 3>like definitely it was bipedal, but there was some big

513
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:31.319
<v Speaker 3>strides going and it just was.

514
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:33.920
<v Speaker 4>Making all this noise. And then so on to my

515
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.200
<v Speaker 4>two o'clock and that one's going from a nine o'clock.

516
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:38.920
<v Speaker 3>They kind of worked their way together, so they met

517
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:40.640
<v Speaker 3>directly exactly in front of me.

518
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:41.559
<v Speaker 4>They both came into.

519
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Like marching centuries, and they just were shaking in the trees,

520
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:49.119
<v Speaker 3>and you know, there's some big deciduous trees, you know,

521
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:51.000
<v Speaker 3>it's like some kind of oak or something like that.

522
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:54.599
<v Speaker 3>They just start shaking them. They just start the trees somethings,

523
00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:56.440
<v Speaker 3>grabbing and shaking them. And these things were big, like

524
00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:59.680
<v Speaker 3>forty foot. The base of these trees were like a

525
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.079
<v Speaker 3>good ten to probably fourteen inches maybe something like that.

526
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:05.839
<v Speaker 3>Some of them were going to be eighteen inches. And

527
00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:08.200
<v Speaker 3>they start grabbing them and just the tops or whipping

528
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:10.720
<v Speaker 3>back and forth like it was like a full double

529
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:13.680
<v Speaker 3>gale storm was blown through, like just whipping back and

530
00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:16.960
<v Speaker 3>forth by like leaves coming off, just shaking, shaking it,

531
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:19.000
<v Speaker 3>shaking it. And I'm like, how in the hell are

532
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:20.759
<v Speaker 3>they shaking those trees? Or like these trees are mott

533
00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:22.799
<v Speaker 3>liked you get ten men on that thing, and it

534
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:24.680
<v Speaker 3>would you wouldn't even you couldn't budget at all. It

535
00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:27.119
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't make a It wouldn't move but two inches. And

536
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:29.759
<v Speaker 3>these things were going back and forth ten feet at

537
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:31.559
<v Speaker 3>the top, you know, just whipping back and forth.

538
00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:34.519
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, what the hell is going on? But they

539
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:34.799
<v Speaker 4>do that.

540
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:36.720
<v Speaker 3>So then I stand up and beat my chest like

541
00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:41.079
<v Speaker 3>the gorilla like slap slap, like I was going what

542
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.720
<v Speaker 3>And they would roar back and then it goes silent

543
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:47.519
<v Speaker 3>for a while and then they then they'd do like

544
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:49.480
<v Speaker 3>a big branch snap. It was almost all the noise

545
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:51.640
<v Speaker 3>is coming from the big one that was going back

546
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:53.000
<v Speaker 3>and forth on my left. It was going from my

547
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:55.599
<v Speaker 3>nine o'clock to my twelve o'clock, back and forth. It

548
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:57.599
<v Speaker 3>would go silent for a while and then it would, you.

549
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:00.960
<v Speaker 4>Know, do another noise. And at this.

550
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:03.759
<v Speaker 3>Point I was getting pretty dark, and I had the

551
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:06.200
<v Speaker 3>night visions, the night vision that I was scanning and

552
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:08.240
<v Speaker 3>scanning and scanning, and I never I just got it

553
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:08.599
<v Speaker 3>that day.

554
00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:11.359
<v Speaker 4>I hadn't really got to mess around with it. And

555
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:11.920
<v Speaker 4>it had.

556
00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:16.680
<v Speaker 3>These dials on the front, you know, for focus and

557
00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:17.759
<v Speaker 3>brightness and.

558
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:22.319
<v Speaker 4>What else. And there's there was a red laser point

559
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:25.720
<v Speaker 4>that was on it too that you could hit. There

560
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:26.240
<v Speaker 4>was a button.

561
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:28.160
<v Speaker 3>None of it was all marked in like Russian, so

562
00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:30.359
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't or Ukraine and whatever. I couldn't read it.

563
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:32.680
<v Speaker 3>It was like that what it called thrillic writing.

564
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:35.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think so that could be. I'm not too

565
00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:37.000
<v Speaker 2>familiar with that, but I know what you mean. Certainly

566
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:39.079
<v Speaker 2>I can picture it, but I don't know the terminology.

567
00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:40.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So it had that so I didn't know what

568
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:43.160
<v Speaker 3>anything said, and I was just kind of messing with it,

569
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:45.759
<v Speaker 3>and I wasn't sure what was what. But I got

570
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:47.440
<v Speaker 3>to work and I was looking through it, and I could see,

571
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:49.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, I couldn't see anything, but I could see

572
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:50.960
<v Speaker 3>the trees, you know, you know the gentoo and.

573
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:54.079
<v Speaker 4>Night scope looks like oh, certainly, yeah, I mean it

574
00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:56.640
<v Speaker 4>was it was like late eighties orally nineties. Technology wasn't

575
00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:57.119
<v Speaker 4>very good.

576
00:24:57.559 --> 00:24:59.279
<v Speaker 3>But so I'm going back and forth scanning the true on,

577
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:01.079
<v Speaker 3>scanning tree on, and I kept send up roaring, and

578
00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:02.640
<v Speaker 3>I'd get up and beat on the tree. And then

579
00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:04.079
<v Speaker 3>at one point when they were in front of me,

580
00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:08.680
<v Speaker 3>a section about five foot long or four foot long

581
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:13.200
<v Speaker 3>by about twenty something inches thick, maybe twenty four inch

582
00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:16.480
<v Speaker 3>thick chunk of oh it came flying out of the

583
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:19.359
<v Speaker 3>tree line. Didn't come close to me, but it landed,

584
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:21.839
<v Speaker 3>you know, about two thirds of the way between the

585
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:24.519
<v Speaker 3>tree line, and it came about two thirds of the

586
00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:25.960
<v Speaker 3>way to me and then landed in front of me,

587
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:26.920
<v Speaker 3>just boom thudd.

588
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:27.599
<v Speaker 4>And I went out and looked at it.

589
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:30.119
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, dang, that's a one hundred and fifty pounds

590
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:31.839
<v Speaker 3>two hundred pound piece of wood or something, I don't know,

591
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:34.279
<v Speaker 3>like something like that was it was substantial, like you know,

592
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:36.319
<v Speaker 3>you couldn't have thrown it very far, Like I mean,

593
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:38.000
<v Speaker 3>I could pick it up, but I couldn't throw it.

594
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:40.599
<v Speaker 3>I could maybe throw it like four or five feet

595
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:43.279
<v Speaker 3>six feet the most. So that thing came find I

596
00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:45.920
<v Speaker 3>was like, well that was crazy, and I was still

597
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:49.039
<v Speaker 3>just still pretty uh. I mean, I was nervous, but

598
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:52.200
<v Speaker 3>I was still confident, like I wasn't I wasn't afraid really,

599
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:55.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean I was definitely on heightened alert and my

600
00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:58.279
<v Speaker 3>heart was racing, and I was super excited, but I

601
00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:00.079
<v Speaker 3>wasn't really scared. I was just I mean, I was

602
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:02.200
<v Speaker 3>kind of nervous, but I was more I was more excited.

603
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:03.200
<v Speaker 4>I was just excited.

604
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:05.640
<v Speaker 3>And then so this went on for a while, and

605
00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:08.400
<v Speaker 3>it seemed like three trucks passed by as I was

606
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.400
<v Speaker 3>up there. They were kind of old Ratley, you know,

607
00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:15.640
<v Speaker 3>old full sized you know, domestic pickups, just bouncing along,

608
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:19.319
<v Speaker 3>and I remember that they all had music cranking, like uh,

609
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:22.119
<v Speaker 3>cell war cranking country, and they're al was playing like

610
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:26.960
<v Speaker 3>classic rock as they went by, and those freaking squatches

611
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:30.240
<v Speaker 3>in the tree line went absolutely crazy, just when the

612
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:32.480
<v Speaker 3>truck would go there start screaming and roaring and shaking

613
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:34.319
<v Speaker 3>the trees really really hard to choose and just be

614
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:38.519
<v Speaker 3>thrashing back and forth. They'd break branches and roar and

615
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:41.400
<v Speaker 3>scream and yell, and none of the trucks even slow

616
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:42.279
<v Speaker 3>to I don't think they didn't hear.

617
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:44.559
<v Speaker 4>They just kept driving by, and I couldn't believe.

618
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:46.880
<v Speaker 3>I kept thinking they're going to get out and stop,

619
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:48.279
<v Speaker 3>you know, and be like what the hell is that

620
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:51.119
<v Speaker 3>or something, you know, and I was stuck. I was like, oh, great,

621
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:54.559
<v Speaker 3>I'll get some witnesses. So during this whole time, I

622
00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:56.799
<v Speaker 3>had called people and no one came up. They were like,

623
00:26:56.839 --> 00:26:59.519
<v Speaker 3>what You're crazy. I'm like, no, this is happening right now,

624
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:03.240
<v Speaker 3>get up here. Or no one came. So this went

625
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:05.519
<v Speaker 3>on for a couple hours, and at one point, Alsodden,

626
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:07.000
<v Speaker 3>I can't remember what it was. It was like some

627
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:09.440
<v Speaker 3>kind of yell, like it was a little it was

628
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:12.440
<v Speaker 3>different than it was a different call, but there was

629
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:14.759
<v Speaker 3>like a there had been a couple of minutes several

630
00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:18.559
<v Speaker 3>minutes of silence. Then this call came out like I

631
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:22.400
<v Speaker 3>can't remember what it was, but instantly burst out of

632
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:25.799
<v Speaker 3>the tree line. Oh okay, prior prior to that call

633
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:28.640
<v Speaker 3>coming out, it's like the battery, the battery is getting low.

634
00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:30.279
<v Speaker 3>Someone's going wrong. I was like, what's going on? Is

635
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:34.200
<v Speaker 3>this battery getting low? What's happening? It started getting fuzzyer,

636
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:36.119
<v Speaker 3>and so I started messing with like the focus and

637
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:38.839
<v Speaker 3>the you know, the brightness and like, and one of

638
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:41.039
<v Speaker 3>the ones I was twisting was I didn't realize was

639
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:43.880
<v Speaker 3>the battery cover and I un screwed it all of

640
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:46.640
<v Speaker 3>sudden I unscrewed it the whole way and the cap

641
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:49.799
<v Speaker 3>came off, and the the second the battery got disattached

642
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:53.039
<v Speaker 3>and it turned off, like within a second. There was

643
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:56.039
<v Speaker 3>a scream or yell whatever came from the tree line

644
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:59.559
<v Speaker 3>and they just rushed me like you could, Like it

645
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:02.519
<v Speaker 3>was so fast, dude. Was like the other thing comparacter

646
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:04.000
<v Speaker 3>was like being at the county fair when the horses

647
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:05.400
<v Speaker 3>go run about when you're stand on they do the

648
00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:08.680
<v Speaker 3>track at the horse races, Like the ground just shook.

649
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:11.039
<v Speaker 3>There was for sure two of them, maybe three of them,

650
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:13.000
<v Speaker 3>I think there was three came bursting out of the

651
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:15.279
<v Speaker 3>tree line rushed. I thought they could rush right next

652
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:16.880
<v Speaker 3>to me and like into the tree line behind me.

653
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:19.559
<v Speaker 3>And it was just I was like, oh my, it

654
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:23.680
<v Speaker 3>was so fast and so loud, and the ground shook

655
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:26.200
<v Speaker 3>and it was just overwhel I was like, oh my god,

656
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:28.079
<v Speaker 3>Like I was just like my eyes popped out of

657
00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:29.680
<v Speaker 3>my head probably, and I was just sitting there going,

658
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:34.039
<v Speaker 3>hold my breath, going what the hell? And then I figured, well,

659
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:36.359
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what happened to him. They my dog,

660
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:38.880
<v Speaker 3>because that pitpo would go He was super chill, like

661
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:40.680
<v Speaker 3>friendly'est dog ever. But when he was in the truck

662
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:43.200
<v Speaker 3>he was like a kujo, just psychopath like, would attack

663
00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:45.279
<v Speaker 3>anything that came near to the truck unless you let

664
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:47.240
<v Speaker 3>him out that he was friendly again, when he was

665
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:49.039
<v Speaker 3>in the truck without me, he was just guard dog.

666
00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:50.920
<v Speaker 3>So I'm like, well, if they go to my truck,

667
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:53.519
<v Speaker 3>they go behind me and the trees behind me out

668
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:55.680
<v Speaker 3>here him because my dog will go nuts. I never

669
00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:59.000
<v Speaker 3>heard a peep out of him. Was like, that's that's weird.

670
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:00.519
<v Speaker 3>So I sat there for a few minutes. I was

671
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:02.559
<v Speaker 3>sitting there was about five minutes or something like that,

672
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:06.720
<v Speaker 3>and I started I started hearing the wrestling of some

673
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:08.559
<v Speaker 3>what I figured was a wood wrap behind me. There's

674
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:10.759
<v Speaker 3>a lot of wood rats out there, so I thought

675
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:12.119
<v Speaker 3>I was a road, and behind me then.

676
00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:16.000
<v Speaker 4>It sounded like a little bigger than a road.

677
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:20.000
<v Speaker 3>And then also over my right shoulder, so I was

678
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:22.440
<v Speaker 3>I had set my chair back in the tree line

679
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:24.279
<v Speaker 3>just a little bit, so I was. I was in

680
00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:27.559
<v Speaker 3>the tree line, just barely, like my chair was inside

681
00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:29.240
<v Speaker 3>the tree line. I had, you know, a couple of

682
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:30.680
<v Speaker 3>branches on the side of me. So I was a

683
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:32.480
<v Speaker 3>little bit ob scared if you were like walking by

684
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:35.160
<v Speaker 3>or something. I'm sitting there and all of a sudden,

685
00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:37.599
<v Speaker 3>you know, I got my the spotlights on the ground,

686
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:39.839
<v Speaker 3>I got some shady there, I got the night scope

687
00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:42.319
<v Speaker 3>in my hand, I got the camera in my hand

688
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:44.960
<v Speaker 3>in my other hand, and it was.

689
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:46.200
<v Speaker 4>All wound up, ready to go.

690
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:48.440
<v Speaker 3>And I'm sitting there and all of a sudden, I start

691
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:51.759
<v Speaker 3>realizing I'm hearing breathing and a little wrestling, and all

692
00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:54.880
<v Speaker 3>of a sudden, wear this presence behind me. And also

693
00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:57.599
<v Speaker 3>I started hearing breathing coming from way over my head.

694
00:29:58.119 --> 00:30:02.839
<v Speaker 3>I started hearing this breathing like after a couple of breaths,

695
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:08.279
<v Speaker 3>it starts going into a growl like but deep and

696
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:10.400
<v Speaker 3>rumbling like, and I'm like, it's way over my head.

697
00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:12.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's up in the air, and I get

698
00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:18.000
<v Speaker 3>this just worse sense of foreboding, dread, and just the

699
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:20.400
<v Speaker 3>most scared I was in my life. Just I mean

700
00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:23.400
<v Speaker 3>like I was like, oh my god. The only thing

701
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:25.519
<v Speaker 3>I compared to is being having a great white shark

702
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:28.960
<v Speaker 3>circle on you when you're out diving or surfing, you know,

703
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:30.839
<v Speaker 3>like that thing of like, I'm out of my element.

704
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:32.640
<v Speaker 4>This thing can kill me in any second. There's nothing

705
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:33.079
<v Speaker 4>I can do.

706
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:35.880
<v Speaker 3>There's like any large preda, like if you know you're

707
00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:39.880
<v Speaker 3>running a tiger in Asia, lions in Africa, or grizzly

708
00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:42.160
<v Speaker 3>bear here or whatever. Like we're just like, oh, this

709
00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:44.359
<v Speaker 3>thing could take me out. Nothing I can do, not

710
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:46.559
<v Speaker 3>a damn thing I can do. I was still excited

711
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:48.599
<v Speaker 3>at this point, and it starts growling, and I wasn't

712
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:51.799
<v Speaker 3>really that scared yet. I was like, well, I wasn't

713
00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:53.240
<v Speaker 3>that scared at that point. I mean I was, I

714
00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:56.160
<v Speaker 3>was nervous. I was nervous started growing. I was like, okay, bo,

715
00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:59.400
<v Speaker 3>it's just stay calm, just stay relaxed, you know, don't

716
00:30:59.400 --> 00:30:59.880
<v Speaker 3>don't do things.

717
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:02.599
<v Speaker 4>It won't hurt you. And I'm like, okay, it's right there.

718
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:04.279
<v Speaker 4>I got to take its picture. I gotta take its picture.

719
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:08.279
<v Speaker 3>And the second I started telling myself, all right, you

720
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:10.880
<v Speaker 3>gotta take this picture, turned around, it's all wound up

721
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:13.240
<v Speaker 3>and everything. I turned it on and I turned it

722
00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:16.240
<v Speaker 3>on and it makes a little bit of wine sound,

723
00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:19.160
<v Speaker 3>just a little bit, and that little indicator orange light

724
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:23.440
<v Speaker 3>comes on, and I'm like, oh no, because I was

725
00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:27.720
<v Speaker 3>for the flash. As soon as I did that, the

726
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:30.920
<v Speaker 3>the loudest, clearest message in my head. If you take

727
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:33.559
<v Speaker 3>my picture, I'm gonna f and kill you and no

728
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:35.920
<v Speaker 3>one's ever gonna find your body. And I had this

729
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:37.839
<v Speaker 3>image of stuff of me inside of a cave and

730
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:39.200
<v Speaker 3>putting big rocks over it.

731
00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:42.319
<v Speaker 4>I was just like, oh my, but dude.

732
00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:45.359
<v Speaker 3>I swear to this date it still seems like it

733
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:48.400
<v Speaker 3>was from outside me. Like because you talk to yourself

734
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:51.759
<v Speaker 3>all the time, this seemed different, really different. It seemed

735
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:53.920
<v Speaker 3>like it was like this voice I'd never heard before.

736
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:56.319
<v Speaker 3>It was loud and clear my like it wasn't audible,

737
00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:58.720
<v Speaker 3>like you couldn't hear it audibly. It was in my head,

738
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:04.079
<v Speaker 3>but it was clear as day, like just seemed very

739
00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:07.160
<v Speaker 3>real and threatening, and I believed it, Like I thought,

740
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:08.720
<v Speaker 3>if I turn around, it's going to kill me.

741
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:13.839
<v Speaker 5>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and beyond with Cliff and Bobo.

742
00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:15.839
<v Speaker 5>We'll be right back after these messages.

743
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:24.400
<v Speaker 3>And I just remember like getting up and walking real fast.

744
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:27.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't run, but I was like walking as fast

745
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:30.200
<v Speaker 3>as kid. I'm like, don't run, but and my eyes

746
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:33.160
<v Speaker 3>were watering so bad, and it was dark. I walked

747
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:35.680
<v Speaker 3>into a you know, a joe poke like a dead branch.

748
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:38.599
<v Speaker 3>There were some slash piles out there, and there was

749
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:40.880
<v Speaker 3>a it just was my eye by about an inch.

750
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:43.039
<v Speaker 3>I was like, and I was walking fast, like not

751
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:46.480
<v Speaker 3>seeing where I was going, stumbling along. I literally could

752
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:48.519
<v Speaker 3>have just poked my eye out. Oh my god, Like

753
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:49.920
<v Speaker 3>how to get behind me? Like how come d D

754
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:52.519
<v Speaker 3>didn't bark? Like how did them get behind me without

755
00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:55.160
<v Speaker 3>me knowing it? And I'm just getting to my truck,

756
00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:57.680
<v Speaker 3>and my truck was facing away from Bald Hills Road.

757
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:01.119
<v Speaker 3>I was facing down Johnson's heading down river, and I

758
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:02.359
<v Speaker 3>just wanted to get out. I want to go out

759
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:04.559
<v Speaker 3>there so bad. I was expecting to get grabbed out

760
00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:06.279
<v Speaker 3>of the tree. Like I was walking along the tree line.

761
00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:08.680
<v Speaker 3>I was just toy expecting to get dragged, like dragged

762
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:11.000
<v Speaker 3>into the trees. Next like on my left where I

763
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:13.119
<v Speaker 3>just been that like island of trees. I was sitting there.

764
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:15.000
<v Speaker 3>I was I knew it was in there, and I thought,

765
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:16.839
<v Speaker 3>maybe they're both of the three of them in there.

766
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:19.119
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know, and I was for shows and get

767
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:20.640
<v Speaker 3>ambus walking back to my truck. I get to my

768
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:23.400
<v Speaker 3>truck and I get there and there's I'm looking in

769
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:25.440
<v Speaker 3>and I don't see my dog. I'm like, oh my god, no,

770
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:27.519
<v Speaker 3>wonder reason they reached it and got because the doors

771
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:28.079
<v Speaker 3>were unlocked.

772
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:30.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, they got him. Oh my god, I stole

773
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:30.720
<v Speaker 4>do this.

774
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:32.759
<v Speaker 3>So at that point, I just like my stomach sank

775
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:36.000
<v Speaker 3>and I was just I felt even that was the worst.

776
00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:38.599
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I just got my dog killed. Oh

777
00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:40.720
<v Speaker 3>my Like how they getting without me hearing it? Like

778
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:43.519
<v Speaker 3>I was just tripping out. So I get in the truck.

779
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:48.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm fumbling for my keys and I'm hyperventilating, and I'm.

780
00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:50.559
<v Speaker 4>Like, they killed they killed DDA, they killed the DA.

781
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:53.599
<v Speaker 3>And I flip on the light and I see him

782
00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:57.039
<v Speaker 3>and he's jammed down on the floorboards on the passenger side.

783
00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:02.400
<v Speaker 3>He'd ripped out like the like where the gloveboxes behind it,

784
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:05.759
<v Speaker 3>like he just tore out whatever was wiring like radio

785
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:08.280
<v Speaker 3>stuff was up behind there and had his head shut

786
00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:10.679
<v Speaker 3>up there and part of his shoulders and he was

787
00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:15.519
<v Speaker 3>crawled underneath the as far up against the front of

788
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:16.880
<v Speaker 3>like where your feet goes cramming.

789
00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:17.559
<v Speaker 4>There's much like.

790
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:20.840
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't believe how Hidney was from from view. I mean,

791
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:22.440
<v Speaker 3>he's black and it was dark out, so of course

792
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:24.360
<v Speaker 3>it was hard to see hm. Anyways, but he had

793
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:27.000
<v Speaker 3>he had been so scared he just tore up the

794
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:29.679
<v Speaker 3>inside of the truck trying to climb into something just

795
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:31.559
<v Speaker 3>to get away from whatever. So they had to walk

796
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:33.800
<v Speaker 3>around the windows and stuff like that. Look, I'm sure

797
00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:36.480
<v Speaker 3>they walked around and looked in at him. So I

798
00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:37.880
<v Speaker 3>drove and I had to drive down a ways to

799
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:39.639
<v Speaker 3>turn around. So I'm looking for a place to turn around.

800
00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:42.440
<v Speaker 3>And I was driving a two wheel drive tow to

801
00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:45.280
<v Speaker 3>truck like probably ball tire, I know I had ball

802
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:48.320
<v Speaker 3>tires on it, and I'm looking for a place to around.

803
00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:51.079
<v Speaker 4>So I finally find a spot and I back into it.

804
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:54.800
<v Speaker 3>So I'm back into it, and then I go to

805
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:58.800
<v Speaker 3>go forward and the truck doesn't. I'm stuck kind of

806
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:01.360
<v Speaker 3>like it's it's the and banking was two I dropped

807
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:03.400
<v Speaker 3>off a little in bank which turned around the spot.

808
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:06.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, eight inches nine inches or something

809
00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:06.519
<v Speaker 3>like that.

810
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:08.760
<v Speaker 4>It was. It was nothing. I was like, oh, but

811
00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:10.280
<v Speaker 4>I didn't want to see my tires and get stuck.

812
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:10.840
<v Speaker 4>I knew that.

813
00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:12.760
<v Speaker 3>So I got I took a little head lamp out

814
00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:15.880
<v Speaker 3>and I'm showing my light on the on where the

815
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:16.239
<v Speaker 3>truck is.

816
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:18.440
<v Speaker 4>They're going to see if like, and I look like, Okay,

817
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:19.800
<v Speaker 4>it's no big deal. Like it's got to back up

818
00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:20.599
<v Speaker 4>another foot or two.

819
00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:22.039
<v Speaker 3>There's enough f riend for me to back up and

820
00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:23.599
<v Speaker 3>just get a little bit of speed and I'll pop

821
00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:25.639
<v Speaker 3>out of this no problem. So as I do that,

822
00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:28.079
<v Speaker 3>like this is all happening, like simultaneously, I'm looking going,

823
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:31.400
<v Speaker 3>ok I'm out of here. That roaring scream comes again

824
00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:33.320
<v Speaker 3>from above me, like it had followed me down that

825
00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:38.000
<v Speaker 3>road in the in the tree line going north, and

826
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:40.760
<v Speaker 3>it screams, and it's just starts bolting coming through these

827
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:47.320
<v Speaker 3>rhodendrons and raspberry bushes and some other just various stickers

828
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:50.320
<v Speaker 3>and stuff, and it just comes rushing down and I

829
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:52.960
<v Speaker 3>can just hear all that stuff, just tearing, stuff tearing

830
00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:56.639
<v Speaker 3>out of the ground and small branches breaking, and it's

831
00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:58.599
<v Speaker 3>coming fast down at me, and I just jump in,

832
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:02.760
<v Speaker 3>throw it in first, and you know, drove out of there,

833
00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:05.320
<v Speaker 3>and I was all I had was this vision of

834
00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:08.639
<v Speaker 3>a piece of log comeing checked out of the darkness,

835
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:12.079
<v Speaker 3>coming through my windshields. I just kind of expected it

836
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:14.199
<v Speaker 3>to happen any second. And I just show the thing

837
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:17.039
<v Speaker 3>roaring and screaming out to my left, like above above me,

838
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:19.360
<v Speaker 3>down the hillside right there, like close really close by.

839
00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:24.239
<v Speaker 4>Was like, oh my god, no way, and I'm driving out.

840
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:24.800
<v Speaker 4>I thought for sure.

841
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:26.559
<v Speaker 3>I was waiting, just waiting for a piece of wood

842
00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:29.400
<v Speaker 3>to come fly through the windshield and kill me. So

843
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:31.119
<v Speaker 3>I go ripping out, I get back down. I mean

844
00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:33.320
<v Speaker 3>I drove so I drive fast all the time. Anyways,

845
00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:36.920
<v Speaker 3>out there, I drove so fast. I was hauling ass.

846
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:39.199
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it was it was crazy. I didn't crash.

847
00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:40.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean I was pushing my trucks to the max

848
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:44.679
<v Speaker 3>getting out there, just wah, just drifting and you know,

849
00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:48.320
<v Speaker 3>squeeling tires. And I get out on the pavement, I

850
00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:50.320
<v Speaker 3>just ripped back down. It's fifteen miles to the one

851
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:53.119
<v Speaker 3>oh one. I get down now it's just a big

852
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:55.719
<v Speaker 3>open flat. But it was a old growth red wod

853
00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:58.800
<v Speaker 3>mill at the time, and they only worked. I think

854
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:00.800
<v Speaker 3>there was like maybe three shifts so weak as there

855
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:02.880
<v Speaker 3>wasn't much wood. It closed down not long after that.

856
00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:05.440
<v Speaker 3>I go ripping in there. I knew there was guards

857
00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:06.960
<v Speaker 3>in there, and then I go, I go flying there

00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:34.559
<v Speaker 3>and you know this and that whatever tell me I

896
00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:37.320
<v Speaker 3>was on drugs. And then the other guys just kind

897
00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:39.559
<v Speaker 3>of like, yeah, I know they're there, but I'm playing pool.

898
00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:41.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm like they did He said maybe when I'm doing

899
00:38:41.800 --> 00:38:44.599
<v Speaker 3>with my pool match, and I was like, are you

900
00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:47.159
<v Speaker 3>kidding me? Like you guys think of this bar every

901
00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:49.199
<v Speaker 3>night of your lies. You're not gonna leave. You know,

902
00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:51.880
<v Speaker 3>you can play pool the rest of your life like

903
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:53.559
<v Speaker 3>this is like you can give them see some big

904
00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:57.440
<v Speaker 3>foots right now, and so they wouldn't go. So then

905
00:38:57.480 --> 00:38:59.400
<v Speaker 3>I drove down to Trinidad, which is like twenty minutes

906
00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:01.840
<v Speaker 3>something like that, on the south of there, went to.

907
00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:02.400
<v Speaker 4>The bar there.

908
00:39:03.119 --> 00:39:05.440
<v Speaker 3>There were some guys in there, no one interested in

909
00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:08.719
<v Speaker 3>going like they just everyone was laughing at me, except

910
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:10.519
<v Speaker 3>for one guy that was like goes, oh, no, I'm

911
00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:11.960
<v Speaker 3>not going up there, Like yeah, I know they're there,

912
00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:13.599
<v Speaker 3>but I'm not going to mess with them, like he

913
00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:15.960
<v Speaker 3>he had an encounter and he was scared of them whatever.

914
00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:19.639
<v Speaker 3>So then I drove down to Six Rivers Brewery and

915
00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:21.199
<v Speaker 3>they were closed. There were some workers, and I knew

916
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:22.920
<v Speaker 3>all those guys were really well those girls. I was

917
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:24.840
<v Speaker 3>trying to get these girls out there, going come on,

918
00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:26.480
<v Speaker 3>let's go. There's big once up there. At this point,

919
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:28.719
<v Speaker 3>it's like one one thirty in the morning something like that.

920
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:30.840
<v Speaker 3>There's like, now we're tired. We're tired.

921
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:32.719
<v Speaker 4>I was, and I called people and no one would

922
00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:33.519
<v Speaker 4>go back up there with you.

923
00:39:33.519 --> 00:39:35.000
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't live. And then no one go with me

924
00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:37.639
<v Speaker 3>the next day either. I went back out there. And

925
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:39.400
<v Speaker 3>that was the scarce thing. Everyday was go to the next day. Well,

926
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:41.119
<v Speaker 3>first I drove to Creston City, which is a couple

927
00:39:41.239 --> 00:39:43.800
<v Speaker 3>hours went up there. I went to John's place whip

928
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:49.760
<v Speaker 3>Smith River. He gave me an infrared flood lights sunny

929
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:54.280
<v Speaker 3>night shot camcorder, and uh yeah, so I.

930
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:54.639
<v Speaker 4>Had a couple.

931
00:39:54.719 --> 00:39:58.800
<v Speaker 3>I had three big infred floodlights and sunny night shot cameras.

932
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:01.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, okay, go put get some bait outs. I went

933
00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:02.559
<v Speaker 4>and got some smoked.

934
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:06.119
<v Speaker 3>Salmon, and I got all this stuff like donuts, salmon,

935
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:11.639
<v Speaker 3>honey rolls, like just sweets, you know, and some cooked meats,

936
00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:12.599
<v Speaker 3>smoked meats.

937
00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:13.719
<v Speaker 4>Go back up there.

938
00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:15.719
<v Speaker 3>I got up there the next day, like later afternoon,

939
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:18.719
<v Speaker 3>and I was so scared to go back up there,

940
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:20.760
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, well, I gotta face my fear.

941
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:22.440
<v Speaker 4>I gotta I gotta get this thing on film. So

942
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:23.159
<v Speaker 4>I did it.

943
00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:25.000
<v Speaker 3>John told me I set up the I set up

944
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:27.800
<v Speaker 3>the food and I put there's. I tried to like

945
00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:30.559
<v Speaker 3>hide the lights nearbyhy but it was just so stupid,

946
00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:33.280
<v Speaker 3>like I didn't think it didn't see that. But I

947
00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:35.360
<v Speaker 3>didn't have a better idea. It was just get it

948
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:35.840
<v Speaker 3>on camera.

949
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:38.119
<v Speaker 4>You need you know. It's because there wasn't any moon,

950
00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:39.840
<v Speaker 4>really it was. It was pretty.

951
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:42.360
<v Speaker 3>It was really dark out, so I was like, okay,

952
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:45.079
<v Speaker 3>I need to use I guess I gotta use these floodlights.

953
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:48.119
<v Speaker 3>And I went up there and when oh, when I

954
00:40:48.119 --> 00:40:49.440
<v Speaker 3>got there, I had this on film too.

955
00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:51.960
<v Speaker 4>My dog d day. He would knock get out of

956
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:53.440
<v Speaker 4>the truck. I had to drag him out of the truck.

957
00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:55.000
<v Speaker 3>And he usually loved going of the woods, like he

958
00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:56.920
<v Speaker 3>couldn't keep me, Like he was scratching out the window

959
00:40:56.960 --> 00:40:58.400
<v Speaker 3>to get out because I just wanted to get out,

960
00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:00.599
<v Speaker 3>run around and sniff and play.

961
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:01.639
<v Speaker 4>He wouldn't get out of truck.

962
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:03.320
<v Speaker 3>When he came out of the truck, he round it

963
00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:05.360
<v Speaker 3>the back tailgate and curled his legs between his legs

964
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:07.440
<v Speaker 3>and wouldn't come out from the truck for twenty minutes.

965
00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:10.400
<v Speaker 4>I was going, did come, come, He wouldn't come. And

966
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:11.280
<v Speaker 4>then I.

967
00:41:11.239 --> 00:41:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Got him out, dragging by his collar got him going.

968
00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:15.679
<v Speaker 3>He just stuck right behind me, like this tail between

969
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:19.000
<v Speaker 3>his legs. After about ten minutes walking around, there was

970
00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:22.079
<v Speaker 3>no sign of anything. Nothing was around, no noises, and

971
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:24.880
<v Speaker 3>he relaxed, and you know, ten minutes later he was

972
00:41:25.159 --> 00:41:27.159
<v Speaker 3>back to normal, totally playing. So, Okay, they're not here,

973
00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:31.480
<v Speaker 3>Wait until it started getting dark again. Set up that

974
00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:33.960
<v Speaker 3>spot where they came here there, like the twelve o'clock

975
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:36.119
<v Speaker 3>position point. I went back on the tree line kind

976
00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:38.639
<v Speaker 3>of a little bit, but where I could still see him,

977
00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:41.840
<v Speaker 3>but where they could kind of come up partly obscured,

978
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:45.079
<v Speaker 3>and I put all this stuff out on an old

979
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:47.280
<v Speaker 3>log there, put all the food out there, and then

980
00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:49.920
<v Speaker 3>there was like floodlights. There's just these floodlights coming down,

981
00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:53.360
<v Speaker 3>infrared flooding. I mean it was so bad. I sat

982
00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:55.760
<v Speaker 3>there and notice sign of them, no indication them. Sat

983
00:41:55.760 --> 00:41:58.679
<v Speaker 3>there all night, I think till daylight. No indication they

984
00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:02.000
<v Speaker 3>were there. Nothing five nights later. So I told John

985
00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:04.800
<v Speaker 3>what happened. He's excited. I was all excited. He called

986
00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:08.000
<v Speaker 3>his partners that he went out with, Jim Hooper and Manny,

987
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:11.559
<v Speaker 3>this guy Manny from southern Oregon. So those guys are

988
00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:14.039
<v Speaker 3>coming down as normal guys. And so I've never been

989
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:16.079
<v Speaker 3>to these guys in purpose. I knew who they were,

990
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:18.079
<v Speaker 3>but I've never met any of them in person. So

991
00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:21.000
<v Speaker 3>we met up five nights later, four nights at this point,

992
00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:24.000
<v Speaker 3>so it was five nights suchter my sighting, and we

993
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:27.639
<v Speaker 3>went down to where we where I estimated where I

994
00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:29.679
<v Speaker 3>first heard the calls come from. And so we went

995
00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:32.519
<v Speaker 3>down it several miles and we pulled over. There's this

996
00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:35.719
<v Speaker 3>big clearcut. You come into it as you're drive along

997
00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:38.440
<v Speaker 3>the road. You know you're driving the you're about two

998
00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:41.239
<v Speaker 3>hundred yards below the park boundary line where the road

999
00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:44.159
<v Speaker 3>is where that runs north south, and so the road

1000
00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:46.280
<v Speaker 3>at points is close to the boundary of the park

1001
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:48.320
<v Speaker 3>and the other points it's a couple hundred yards away.

1002
00:42:48.679 --> 00:42:50.400
<v Speaker 3>At this point it was kind of further away from

1003
00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:52.800
<v Speaker 3>the park, so it's a good one hundred and fifty

1004
00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:56.760
<v Speaker 3>yards two hundred yards up to the Because it's offus,

1005
00:42:57.000 --> 00:42:58.679
<v Speaker 3>it's a clear cut and there's old growth right away,

1006
00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:01.280
<v Speaker 3>so it's pretty obvious for the boundary line is as

1007
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:03.239
<v Speaker 3>you drive, you're driving along, you're driving, you know it's

1008
00:43:03.239 --> 00:43:05.199
<v Speaker 3>all been cut before at some point this area we're

1009
00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:08.760
<v Speaker 3>driving through, so it's you know, smaller regrowth stuff. But

1010
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:10.280
<v Speaker 3>you come in and all of a sudden you're left.

1011
00:43:11.159 --> 00:43:13.320
<v Speaker 3>It's clear cut all the way to the line, you

1012
00:43:13.360 --> 00:43:15.079
<v Speaker 3>know whatever. It is one hundred and fifty two hundred

1013
00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:19.639
<v Speaker 3>yards up to the park boundary. And and then it's

1014
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:22.960
<v Speaker 3>really small, just hasn't been thinned at all, just pecker

1015
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:25.360
<v Speaker 3>pole regrowth, like I.

1016
00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:26.880
<v Speaker 4>Don't know, it was a couple of years, it was

1017
00:43:26.920 --> 00:43:28.519
<v Speaker 4>several years old, it was. It was small.

1018
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:31.000
<v Speaker 3>They like the biggest, biggest trees and there were like,

1019
00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:35.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, six eight inches something like that. It was

1020
00:43:35.719 --> 00:43:39.719
<v Speaker 3>real close to their real regrowth garbage. And that went

1021
00:43:39.800 --> 00:43:41.400
<v Speaker 3>and so that ran along you're right on your right

1022
00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:44.480
<v Speaker 3>hand side. That went along for another couple like, uh,

1023
00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:48.760
<v Speaker 3>probably one hundred yards of that stuff. And then and

1024
00:43:48.760 --> 00:43:51.400
<v Speaker 3>then that stopped and it was clear cut on both

1025
00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:53.960
<v Speaker 3>sides to the cliffs edge that dropped off like a

1026
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:56.480
<v Speaker 3>couple thousand feet down to the clout. It's really steep

1027
00:43:56.480 --> 00:43:59.880
<v Speaker 3>cliffs and steep hills then to your and then up

1028
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:04.719
<v Speaker 3>sloped uphill up to the park boundary. There were some

1029
00:44:04.840 --> 00:44:07.760
<v Speaker 3>old trees that went, old goat trees went through the

1030
00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:10.360
<v Speaker 3>cut area like a that turned out that was the

1031
00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:12.800
<v Speaker 3>old hoop of footpath for the hoop Indians to go

1032
00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:17.360
<v Speaker 3>to the coast rocks where they could cross. It's where

1033
00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:19.239
<v Speaker 3>they crossed to get to the ocean where they traded,

1034
00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:23.039
<v Speaker 3>like you know, for sea salt and shell fish. That's

1035
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:24.880
<v Speaker 3>when they'd bring stuff from inland and trade with the

1036
00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:27.519
<v Speaker 3>coastal guys. And that's what So this footpath was one

1037
00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:31.280
<v Speaker 3>hundreds used for thousands of years. And they're not allowed

1038
00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:35.440
<v Speaker 3>to cut the trees along the footpath of the cultural preservation,

1039
00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:39.039
<v Speaker 3>but this footpath it's still it's like it's about three

1040
00:44:39.079 --> 00:44:41.639
<v Speaker 3>feet wide two feet wide. It's about a foot and

1041
00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:44.239
<v Speaker 3>a half deep, you know, grounding of the dirt, there's

1042
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:46.360
<v Speaker 3>old grold trees went so there's these scattered old growth

1043
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:49.360
<v Speaker 3>trees going through the in a line going through the

1044
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:52.719
<v Speaker 3>clear cut that went through the regrowth there was and

1045
00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:55.760
<v Speaker 3>right where they came out, there's some bigger trees and

1046
00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:59.199
<v Speaker 3>stumps there. But then the rest is that just regrowth junk,

1047
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:01.079
<v Speaker 3>you know, just a little arbis streets. I been thinking

1048
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:04.079
<v Speaker 3>it was just a mess. So we set up, we

1049
00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:06.880
<v Speaker 3>parked there. There's a little spur row dropped down to

1050
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:10.519
<v Speaker 3>the right head and downhill towards the cliff in the

1051
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:13.800
<v Speaker 3>clear cut it was the landing spot for the the

1052
00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:16.440
<v Speaker 3>laggers have been using it. This was a fresh cut.

1053
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:19.159
<v Speaker 3>I mean it just happened like that year or the

1054
00:45:19.239 --> 00:45:21.679
<v Speaker 3>year before. I guess the year before. But you can

1055
00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:23.519
<v Speaker 3>tell they've been using like they'd still been coming other

1056
00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:27.119
<v Speaker 3>and parking and doing whatever down there. Like you can

1057
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:31.400
<v Speaker 3>tell the landing was still used down there. So we're like,

1058
00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:32.760
<v Speaker 3>all right, well this, we don't want to block the

1059
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:35.840
<v Speaker 3>landing off. So they went down and set up the

1060
00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:37.800
<v Speaker 3>call blaster. It was that big, and it was the

1061
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:41.400
<v Speaker 3>one it's in the Willow Creek Museum now you know,

1062
00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:44.239
<v Speaker 3>it's on the early BFR exhibitions. There was the big

1063
00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:48.360
<v Speaker 3>bullhorn up a Navy destroyer. It was a big speaker

1064
00:45:48.440 --> 00:45:51.280
<v Speaker 3>for the loudspeaker up a navy ship. And John had

1065
00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:53.760
<v Speaker 3>looked up to a thousand watt amp with a CD

1066
00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:56.440
<v Speaker 3>player that you could play like Gorilla calls and the

1067
00:45:56.440 --> 00:45:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Ohio Call and all that stuff. So they went down

1068
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:03.360
<v Speaker 3>set that up the broadcast over the valley. When we

1069
00:46:03.400 --> 00:46:05.519
<v Speaker 3>got out there, I realized I had forgotten. And this

1070
00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:07.639
<v Speaker 3>is earlier than night. I was still daylight, and I

1071
00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:09.159
<v Speaker 3>realized I'd forgotten the night scophen.

1072
00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:09.480
<v Speaker 4>I packed.

1073
00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:11.599
<v Speaker 3>I was so excited about the night scope on the porch,

1074
00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:14.679
<v Speaker 3>and I called my buddy e Hu. Actually we interviewed

1075
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:18.440
<v Speaker 3>on the show here. He was a nurse and he

1076
00:46:18.519 --> 00:46:20.039
<v Speaker 3>was going to go to go surfing up the clam

1077
00:46:20.039 --> 00:46:20.519
<v Speaker 3>with anyway.

1078
00:46:20.559 --> 00:46:21.719
<v Speaker 4>So I called him. I said, Hey, you going to

1079
00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:22.320
<v Speaker 4>the climb still?

1080
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:24.400
<v Speaker 3>He said yeah. I said, dude, could you please bring

1081
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:26.159
<v Speaker 3>my night vision scup? And he knew how important it

1082
00:46:26.199 --> 00:46:27.480
<v Speaker 3>was to me. He goes, yeah, I'll do it. So

1083
00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:30.199
<v Speaker 3>he went and grabbed my night scope. I mean he

1084
00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:31.840
<v Speaker 3>drove up there, and he got there just before dark

1085
00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:35.679
<v Speaker 3>and he'd gone diving and had some avalony. He just

1086
00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:39.079
<v Speaker 3>he had some he'd cooked some ablone. He brought the

1087
00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:41.559
<v Speaker 3>abalone up and was sitting on top of the truck.

1088
00:46:41.599 --> 00:46:43.880
<v Speaker 3>It was, you know, it just cooked. It smelt really good.

1089
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:47.599
<v Speaker 3>And so he had a little Toyte pickup. I had

1090
00:46:47.639 --> 00:46:49.320
<v Speaker 3>my little toat of to whee drop it. We built

1091
00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:53.239
<v Speaker 3>a little Tota standard cab you know pickups. So he

1092
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:56.159
<v Speaker 3>had a show on his little Toyota and I didn't

1093
00:46:56.159 --> 00:46:59.119
<v Speaker 3>have one on mine. And we were parked right at

1094
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:03.039
<v Speaker 3>the edge of that regrow and then John and Manny

1095
00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:06.440
<v Speaker 3>were in one vehicle and Jim were down there and

1096
00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:08.719
<v Speaker 3>they'd set up their call blaster. You know, it's maybe

1097
00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:11.199
<v Speaker 3>forty fifty yards down from where we were parked there,

1098
00:47:11.199 --> 00:47:12.920
<v Speaker 3>down on the little spur road in the middle of

1099
00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:16.000
<v Speaker 3>the clear cut. I just told the Hm'm like, you

1100
00:47:16.039 --> 00:47:17.400
<v Speaker 3>know what, I want to go up higher. I want

1101
00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:19.079
<v Speaker 3>to get up and I saw this big old girl

1102
00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:21.199
<v Speaker 3>stump sitting up on the hill above those guys.

1103
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:23.199
<v Speaker 4>We measured it later.

1104
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:24.960
<v Speaker 3>It was one hundred and twenty yards one hundred and

1105
00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:27.440
<v Speaker 3>twenty five yards from the vehicles where we were parked.

1106
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:30.199
<v Speaker 3>So we walked up there, and I was so freaked

1107
00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:32.559
<v Speaker 3>out still by what had happened five minutes earlier. I

1108
00:47:32.559 --> 00:47:34.320
<v Speaker 3>mean I was I thought I was going to die

1109
00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:37.119
<v Speaker 3>five minutes earlier by these things. So I was pretty nervous.

1110
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:39.639
<v Speaker 3>And oh when we got there, when we did the

1111
00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:42.159
<v Speaker 3>first calls, before we even set the calls, I did

1112
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:45.400
<v Speaker 3>my own calls. We got this crazy scream from down on.

1113
00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:48.960
<v Speaker 3>The clowns were way below into this scream, like the

1114
00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:53.519
<v Speaker 3>classic murder woman being murdered scream, and we were like oh,

1115
00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:56.039
<v Speaker 3>we were all excited, like, oh, yeah, they're close by.

1116
00:47:56.079 --> 00:47:58.440
<v Speaker 4>And I said, hey, John, can I borrow a gun?

1117
00:47:58.639 --> 00:47:59.960
<v Speaker 4>And Fradus is the most.

1118
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:02.800
<v Speaker 3>He was in the very final episode of Finding Bigfoot

1119
00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:05.000
<v Speaker 3>where we went out went up the final one, I

1120
00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:07.440
<v Speaker 3>guess it was second to last one of the Luff

1121
00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:10.719
<v Speaker 3>Creek on the side before the reunion show was the

1122
00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:13.800
<v Speaker 3>last one we did where we're in Willow Creek and

1123
00:48:13.800 --> 00:48:15.519
<v Speaker 3>we got those callbacks rounds with John. We got the

1124
00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:19.559
<v Speaker 3>return calls. But he's the most That's the guy. He's

1125
00:48:19.599 --> 00:48:21.760
<v Speaker 3>the most fearless. Him and Moneymaker the two most fast

1126
00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:24.039
<v Speaker 3>guys I've seen out in the woods, like never afraid

1127
00:48:24.039 --> 00:48:27.360
<v Speaker 3>of anything at all, like nothing like John's not phased

1128
00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:29.159
<v Speaker 3>or anything. I said, hey, can I borrow one of

1129
00:48:29.199 --> 00:48:30.920
<v Speaker 3>your guns? He goes, I just got one. He had

1130
00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:32.960
<v Speaker 3>a three fifty seven. I said, all right, I'll take that.

1131
00:48:33.400 --> 00:48:34.559
<v Speaker 3>I put that in my back pocket. It was a

1132
00:48:34.559 --> 00:48:36.199
<v Speaker 3>little snub nose I had in my back pocket. I

1133
00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:38.760
<v Speaker 3>felt better, so I me and Eh climbed up on

1134
00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:40.159
<v Speaker 3>the hill. I went up on top of that stump

1135
00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:43.679
<v Speaker 3>and I had to the night scope and then we

1136
00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:46.480
<v Speaker 3>were there for about I think it was about a half.

1137
00:48:46.280 --> 00:48:47.400
<v Speaker 4>Hour shooting up there.

1138
00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:50.719
<v Speaker 3>And then John was doing a live broadcast that it

1139
00:48:50.760 --> 00:48:52.639
<v Speaker 3>was a TV show and a radio show at the time,

1140
00:48:52.679 --> 00:48:54.719
<v Speaker 3>it was the sixth or seventh most listened to radio

1141
00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:58.079
<v Speaker 3>show in the world. It was Sightings that shows Sightings.

1142
00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:02.079
<v Speaker 3>I can't remember the hosts, Jeff Frantz. So John was

1143
00:49:02.119 --> 00:49:07.800
<v Speaker 3>doing a live call into the show, and he actually

1144
00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:11.039
<v Speaker 3>the company had runted him a satellite phone, so we

1145
00:49:11.079 --> 00:49:12.639
<v Speaker 3>had a satellite phone with him to use for the

1146
00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:15.039
<v Speaker 3>call in they'd send him. So he was doing his

1147
00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:19.199
<v Speaker 3>calling live, calling into the show. And and uh, just

1148
00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:21.599
<v Speaker 3>as they're about to start, from the tree line where

1149
00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:24.559
<v Speaker 3>the where our right where our trust were apart, we

1150
00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:27.719
<v Speaker 3>heard three grunt growls and they were just what I'd

1151
00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:31.599
<v Speaker 3>heard a couple of nights before that, like like, I

1152
00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:37.000
<v Speaker 3>can't it's like at a growl. Oh, that's not it,

1153
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:39.840
<v Speaker 3>but kind of get the idea. There was three loud,

1154
00:49:39.880 --> 00:49:41.639
<v Speaker 3>deep ones came from that tree line where our trucks.

1155
00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:44.039
<v Speaker 3>We were like, oh my god, it's there's one here.

1156
00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:46.719
<v Speaker 3>And I just for some reason I thought it was

1157
00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:48.519
<v Speaker 3>for sure the big One because it sounded like that

1158
00:49:48.559 --> 00:49:50.760
<v Speaker 3>big one, that charger than a couple of nights before,

1159
00:49:50.840 --> 00:49:51.800
<v Speaker 3>five nights before.

1160
00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:57.119
<v Speaker 5>Stay tuned for more Bigfoot and Beyond with Cliff and Bogo.

1161
00:49:57.320 --> 00:50:05.480
<v Speaker 5>We'll be right back after these messages, and.

1162
00:50:05.519 --> 00:50:07.119
<v Speaker 3>I was all excited. So each and I were passing

1163
00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:10.000
<v Speaker 3>back the scope, passing back the scope. Then so John's

1164
00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:12.480
<v Speaker 3>the meantime trying to talk to the guy Jeff France

1165
00:50:12.519 --> 00:50:15.960
<v Speaker 3>on the radio show Live with his satellite phone. But

1166
00:50:16.039 --> 00:50:20.519
<v Speaker 3>it's not coming in. It's he's having bad receptions. He's

1167
00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:25.320
<v Speaker 3>in at Baron Classic Dude, Michael Scott. He had was

1168
00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:27.039
<v Speaker 3>it a Baron no as a sea bring? He had

1169
00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:29.599
<v Speaker 3>a convertible sea bring and he had the top down.

1170
00:50:29.639 --> 00:50:31.000
<v Speaker 3>He's in this little you know car.

1171
00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:31.599
<v Speaker 4>You know.

1172
00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:35.440
<v Speaker 3>He drove up there, driving real slow, just going a

1173
00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:37.840
<v Speaker 3>couple miles an hour, trying to get reception. And he

1174
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:40.039
<v Speaker 3>gets reception right next to my truck and he's parked

1175
00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:44.920
<v Speaker 3>there and I'm looking down and he goes, hey, there's

1176
00:50:44.960 --> 00:50:46.880
<v Speaker 3>a bear stomping his feet and growling at me in

1177
00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:48.599
<v Speaker 3>the tree line kind of truck. And we figured, well,

1178
00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:51.360
<v Speaker 3>that makes sense because we got the avaloni up there.

1179
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:52.599
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's fresh abalone.

1180
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:53.960
<v Speaker 4>He just coach. It smells killer.

1181
00:50:54.519 --> 00:50:56.400
<v Speaker 3>So we're looking there and looking there, and that's why

1182
00:50:56.400 --> 00:50:58.360
<v Speaker 3>I was looking at going, God, how could I miss it?

1183
00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:00.679
<v Speaker 4>I remember that big stuff. There's this big black stump

1184
00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:01.800
<v Speaker 4>by my truck and Johnson.

1185
00:51:01.840 --> 00:51:03.599
<v Speaker 3>There's John's on the other side of my truck, you know,

1186
00:51:03.639 --> 00:51:07.000
<v Speaker 3>sitting down low in his little convertible. I'm going like,

1187
00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:09.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, he's only thirty feet from it, and I'm

1188
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:11.880
<v Speaker 3>going like, how did I not know there was a

1189
00:51:11.880 --> 00:51:13.719
<v Speaker 3>giant stump next to my truck. It was, like I said,

1190
00:51:13.719 --> 00:51:16.519
<v Speaker 3>the thickest tree down I was frobaly eight inches and

1191
00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:19.559
<v Speaker 3>there's like this huge black stump next to my truck.

1192
00:51:20.280 --> 00:51:22.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm just like, God, that's weird. And then I see

1193
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:25.440
<v Speaker 3>the stump get up, turn and walk into the tree line.

1194
00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:28.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, I'm telling John on the radio, dude, it's

1195
00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:30.360
<v Speaker 3>he was on a he was on a commercial break

1196
00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:32.880
<v Speaker 3>from the Sightings radio show. I'm on the I'm on

1197
00:51:32.920 --> 00:51:35.960
<v Speaker 3>a little walkie talkie going, dude, how can you John's

1198
00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:37.679
<v Speaker 3>right next to your train. It's walking into the tree line.

1199
00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:40.519
<v Speaker 3>He couldn't see it just behind my truck from his angle,

1200
00:51:40.599 --> 00:51:40.760
<v Speaker 3>you know.

1201
00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:44.199
<v Speaker 4>Plus it was dark and he does not see it,

1202
00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:46.239
<v Speaker 4>and it walks the tree and I was just blown away.

1203
00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:49.079
<v Speaker 3>So I'm looking and looking and then I see it

1204
00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:52.800
<v Speaker 3>pop back out about fifty yards down the hill where

1205
00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:54.840
<v Speaker 3>those big trees come. At this point, I didn't know

1206
00:51:54.840 --> 00:51:57.000
<v Speaker 3>that was the old trail, the hoop of trail foot trail.

1207
00:51:57.719 --> 00:52:01.199
<v Speaker 3>There's there's a pretty big stump down there, like old

1208
00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:06.639
<v Speaker 3>growth redwood stump, and then a deciduous hardwood tree that

1209
00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:07.719
<v Speaker 3>was probably eight.

1210
00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:08.440
<v Speaker 4>Inches thick or so.

1211
00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:11.760
<v Speaker 3>And I'm looking down and going, WHA, what is that?

1212
00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:14.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm seeing movement and then I'm looking and all of

1213
00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:17.519
<v Speaker 3>a sudden, I see this thing walk across that little

1214
00:52:17.519 --> 00:52:20.719
<v Speaker 3>gap where the trail is. It goes from the stump

1215
00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:22.559
<v Speaker 3>to behind the tree, and I'm looking going and there

1216
00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:24.559
<v Speaker 3>was a little bit of moon coming out. There's just

1217
00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:27.559
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of moon coming up behind a little

1218
00:52:27.559 --> 00:52:30.760
<v Speaker 3>bit of clouds. There's little partial clouds. And when the

1219
00:52:30.760 --> 00:52:33.440
<v Speaker 3>moon came out just enough for me to see there's

1220
00:52:33.559 --> 00:52:36.639
<v Speaker 3>enough light to see. I see it go behind that tree.

1221
00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:39.599
<v Speaker 3>So it's heads behind the tree, but its shoulders hanging

1222
00:52:39.599 --> 00:52:41.679
<v Speaker 3>out each side by a good foot foot and a

1223
00:52:41.679 --> 00:52:43.880
<v Speaker 3>half or sticking out each side of the tree. And

1224
00:52:43.960 --> 00:52:45.840
<v Speaker 3>I see it lean out and poke its head out.

1225
00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:47.599
<v Speaker 3>Just look like a coconut sitting on top of a

1226
00:52:47.760 --> 00:52:49.280
<v Speaker 3>brick shed or something, you know. I mean, it just

1227
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:51.199
<v Speaker 3>looked like this big solid mass and then with a

1228
00:52:51.199 --> 00:52:53.519
<v Speaker 3>coconut on top, and you see the coconut lean out.

1229
00:52:54.079 --> 00:52:56.079
<v Speaker 3>Then when I flicked on that little ire light, I'd

1230
00:52:56.079 --> 00:52:58.400
<v Speaker 3>flick on a little iron light on the camera on

1231
00:52:58.639 --> 00:53:01.920
<v Speaker 3>another camera on the vision. It would jump back behind

1232
00:53:01.920 --> 00:53:04.440
<v Speaker 3>the tree like it reminded me of an ostrich with

1233
00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:07.920
<v Speaker 3>its headstuck between its leg under the sand, like Okay,

1234
00:53:08.199 --> 00:53:10.840
<v Speaker 3>if I can't see them and they can't see my head,

1235
00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:11.880
<v Speaker 3>then I'm invisible.

1236
00:53:11.920 --> 00:53:12.760
<v Speaker 4>But it's its.

1237
00:53:12.719 --> 00:53:15.960
<v Speaker 3>Body was taking out both sides, so I remember looking

1238
00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:17.400
<v Speaker 3>at it. And then it started and it walked back

1239
00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:19.440
<v Speaker 3>over behind the stump, and the stump came right between

1240
00:53:19.480 --> 00:53:22.360
<v Speaker 3>its belly button and the bottom of its chest. And

1241
00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:25.639
<v Speaker 3>it starts bobbing up and down like a like I remember, Eric,

1242
00:53:25.679 --> 00:53:29.639
<v Speaker 3>I guess, go, it's a giant freaking monkey. It's a

1243
00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:32.320
<v Speaker 3>giant freaking monkeys. Was doing that bobbing back and forth

1244
00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:35.440
<v Speaker 3>kind of like slowly bobbing, and like it wud raise

1245
00:53:35.519 --> 00:53:37.400
<v Speaker 3>up on one foot, then raised one arm, like it

1246
00:53:37.639 --> 00:53:39.639
<v Speaker 3>raise up on its right foot and raise its left

1247
00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:41.920
<v Speaker 3>arm and left leg, then shift its wight over to

1248
00:53:41.920 --> 00:53:43.760
<v Speaker 3>its left foot and raise its right arm and right

1249
00:53:43.840 --> 00:53:46.599
<v Speaker 3>leg like it was agitated, going back and forth, and

1250
00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:49.360
<v Speaker 3>it would and it would lean forward and then walk

1251
00:53:49.400 --> 00:53:51.880
<v Speaker 3>back over behind the tree and then poke its head

1252
00:53:51.880 --> 00:53:53.239
<v Speaker 3>out behind a tree and they can still see the

1253
00:53:53.239 --> 00:53:56.239
<v Speaker 3>rest of its body. So I had the knife scope

1254
00:53:56.280 --> 00:53:59.480
<v Speaker 3>to Eric and we go back and forth for twenty

1255
00:53:59.559 --> 00:54:01.599
<v Speaker 3>twenty five minutes whatever it is, just watching this thing,

1256
00:54:01.639 --> 00:54:03.559
<v Speaker 3>and it would disappear whenever when we couldn't see it,

1257
00:54:03.599 --> 00:54:05.360
<v Speaker 3>John say okay, it's approaching me.

1258
00:54:05.400 --> 00:54:06.960
<v Speaker 4>It's approaching me. And we never saw it come out

1259
00:54:06.960 --> 00:54:08.440
<v Speaker 4>on the tree line by him. Again.

1260
00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:11.039
<v Speaker 3>I only saw that one time where it came out

1261
00:54:11.119 --> 00:54:13.480
<v Speaker 3>up there. But then he'd say, okay, it's walking away there,

1262
00:54:13.480 --> 00:54:15.400
<v Speaker 3>and we wouldn't see it. He wouldn't he he wouldn't

1263
00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:17.400
<v Speaker 3>hear it for a few minutes, and we'd pop back

1264
00:54:17.400 --> 00:54:19.239
<v Speaker 3>out of that trail head down below and be looking

1265
00:54:19.320 --> 00:54:22.039
<v Speaker 3>up at us. And then one of the bummers was

1266
00:54:22.039 --> 00:54:27.800
<v Speaker 3>was John had the radio the broadcasting with the call blaster,

1267
00:54:27.920 --> 00:54:32.800
<v Speaker 3>didn't Manny and Jim didn't know that.

1268
00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:33.000
<v Speaker 4>This was going on. They didn't have a radio.

1269
00:54:33.679 --> 00:54:38.400
<v Speaker 3>So every time John hit the brake, Satman to play

1270
00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:40.760
<v Speaker 3>the recording the call blasts so that Jeff franch guys

1271
00:54:40.760 --> 00:54:43.800
<v Speaker 3>could hear it at home. And as he's you know,

1272
00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:46.679
<v Speaker 3>back He's going back and forth, pulling back and forth,

1273
00:54:46.719 --> 00:54:50.039
<v Speaker 3>trying to find the angle where he could see it,

1274
00:54:50.079 --> 00:54:52.360
<v Speaker 3>where it was every time he hit his brake, so

1275
00:54:52.400 --> 00:54:56.079
<v Speaker 3>those guys would play the Ohio hall, Ohio call, and

1276
00:54:56.119 --> 00:55:00.719
<v Speaker 3>then aggressive gorilla call. So I was pretty I didn't

1277
00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:03.119
<v Speaker 3>want what was there to realize that the calls were

1278
00:55:03.119 --> 00:55:06.039
<v Speaker 3>coming from us, but obviously Dick is. For the next

1279
00:55:06.280 --> 00:55:08.920
<v Speaker 3>fifteen minutes, as John went back and forth returning his brakes,

1280
00:55:08.920 --> 00:55:11.840
<v Speaker 3>there was another Ohio call. I mean, this thing was loud, dude,

1281
00:55:11.840 --> 00:55:15.639
<v Speaker 3>It's just acting through the canyon for miles. And this

1282
00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:17.599
<v Speaker 3>went on for a while and then John got freshrated

1283
00:55:17.599 --> 00:55:21.079
<v Speaker 3>and just said, I've got to see this thing. And

1284
00:55:21.079 --> 00:55:23.000
<v Speaker 3>we didn't have any cameras, you know, that could really

1285
00:55:23.039 --> 00:55:25.239
<v Speaker 3>record it. So he backed up and put his high

1286
00:55:25.239 --> 00:55:29.239
<v Speaker 3>beams on and yeah, you know, scanned the tree line backup,

1287
00:55:29.239 --> 00:55:32.239
<v Speaker 3>so his headlight swept the woods and then we didn't

1288
00:55:32.239 --> 00:55:36.800
<v Speaker 3>hear anything after that, just went dead. But yeah, so

1289
00:55:36.800 --> 00:55:38.599
<v Speaker 3>that was my first. Oh so, the next one we

1290
00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:42.159
<v Speaker 3>went down there, and that stump we measured it was

1291
00:55:43.320 --> 00:55:47.880
<v Speaker 3>six foot nine, six foot ten basically, so this we

1292
00:55:47.920 --> 00:55:50.039
<v Speaker 3>thought we thought it was a four foot so looking

1293
00:55:50.039 --> 00:55:51.840
<v Speaker 3>at that night, from being next to the truck.

1294
00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:53.800
<v Speaker 4>Eric never saw it next to the truck. I did.

1295
00:55:54.559 --> 00:55:56.159
<v Speaker 4>He only sat down by the tree line, which was

1296
00:55:56.199 --> 00:55:59.119
<v Speaker 4>further away. But we were.

1297
00:55:58.960 --> 00:56:01.039
<v Speaker 3>Guessing it was seven We well, just when we were

1298
00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:03.840
<v Speaker 3>guessing it was the we guessed the stump was four

1299
00:56:03.880 --> 00:56:05.960
<v Speaker 3>foot tall, that it was seven feet tall because it

1300
00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:07.679
<v Speaker 3>was sticking about three feet above the stump.

1301
00:56:08.639 --> 00:56:10.280
<v Speaker 4>We figured that, you know, just looking from it.

1302
00:56:10.280 --> 00:56:11.920
<v Speaker 3>There, we figured, well, the tree is a twelve inch

1303
00:56:11.960 --> 00:56:14.679
<v Speaker 3>thick tree, you know, sticking out a foot you know,

1304
00:56:14.679 --> 00:56:17.760
<v Speaker 3>it's a couple of feet wide, and it was almost

1305
00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:19.760
<v Speaker 3>as thick when it turns someways across the trail. It

1306
00:56:19.800 --> 00:56:22.280
<v Speaker 3>was almost as thick as it was wide. Not quite,

1307
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:25.480
<v Speaker 3>but it was. It was really thick. We get down

1308
00:56:25.519 --> 00:56:27.199
<v Speaker 3>there and the tree was put in its heavy house

1309
00:56:27.239 --> 00:56:29.840
<v Speaker 3>about eighteen inches and it was sticking out eighteen inches

1310
00:56:29.880 --> 00:56:31.519
<v Speaker 3>on each side. So it was like, you know, four

1311
00:56:31.559 --> 00:56:33.480
<v Speaker 3>and a half foot across the shoulders or something like that,

1312
00:56:33.639 --> 00:56:35.800
<v Speaker 3>five ft four and a half feet across the shoulders,

1313
00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:38.519
<v Speaker 3>five feet maybe at the most, I'd say four to

1314
00:56:38.599 --> 00:56:41.239
<v Speaker 3>four and a half. There was at least three foot

1315
00:56:41.280 --> 00:56:42.920
<v Speaker 3>from front front front of its chest.

1316
00:56:42.719 --> 00:56:43.639
<v Speaker 4>To the back of its back.

1317
00:56:43.719 --> 00:56:45.719
<v Speaker 3>It had to be at least three foot thick that way,

1318
00:56:47.960 --> 00:56:49.639
<v Speaker 3>it had to be nine and a half. I thought

1319
00:56:49.639 --> 00:56:53.559
<v Speaker 3>it was ten foot. But our buddy who lived on

1320
00:56:53.599 --> 00:56:56.519
<v Speaker 3>the ranch by there, who had sat on horseback, he

1321
00:56:56.639 --> 00:57:00.400
<v Speaker 3>was on a flat on a he was on a

1322
00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:03.960
<v Speaker 3>a flat, leveled off landing area from a logging landing.

1323
00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:05.800
<v Speaker 3>He was on his horse and it was behind a

1324
00:57:06.519 --> 00:57:10.320
<v Speaker 3>stack of logs, and so he's on eating ground that

1325
00:57:10.360 --> 00:57:12.000
<v Speaker 3>he said it was. He was looking right at it,

1326
00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:13.639
<v Speaker 3>and it was. He said it was nine and a

1327
00:57:13.679 --> 00:57:16.119
<v Speaker 3>half foot tall. So it was at least nine and

1328
00:57:16.119 --> 00:57:17.519
<v Speaker 3>a half. So it's between nine and a half ten

1329
00:57:17.559 --> 00:57:18.760
<v Speaker 3>foot tall somewhere in there.

1330
00:57:19.360 --> 00:57:20.559
<v Speaker 4>It was. It was huge.

1331
00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:23.320
<v Speaker 3>Then, John, I had to leave out how to get

1332
00:57:23.360 --> 00:57:26.280
<v Speaker 3>back to town that morning, so I was out of

1333
00:57:26.280 --> 00:57:32.079
<v Speaker 3>there pretty early too. Went down there and I left,

1334
00:57:32.159 --> 00:57:36.320
<v Speaker 3>and later that day he found a seventeen seventeen and

1335
00:57:36.320 --> 00:57:39.159
<v Speaker 3>three quarter inch long footprint pressing a hard pen do

1336
00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:41.320
<v Speaker 3>this dirt is like it's like a rock in the

1337
00:57:41.320 --> 00:57:43.840
<v Speaker 3>summertime when it's dry like that, it's just you know,

1338
00:57:43.840 --> 00:57:46.960
<v Speaker 3>he was pressed down three quarter inch deep in the

1339
00:57:47.039 --> 00:57:49.199
<v Speaker 3>deepest spots, but it was about a quarter and a

1340
00:57:49.239 --> 00:57:51.440
<v Speaker 3>half a quarter and a half inch deep most most

1341
00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:53.639
<v Speaker 3>of the spots. But it was a classic eight foot

1342
00:57:53.639 --> 00:57:56.599
<v Speaker 3>across the ball, seventeen and a half inches long, seventeen

1343
00:57:56.599 --> 00:58:01.440
<v Speaker 3>three quarter inches long, giant, you know, just heavy. Let's

1344
00:58:01.440 --> 00:58:05.719
<v Speaker 3>put the way our our toutos put were impressed. Maybe

1345
00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:07.840
<v Speaker 3>an eighth of an inch deep and these things, and

1346
00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:10.079
<v Speaker 3>they weren't even that, maybe sixteenth of an inch, eighth

1347
00:58:10.119 --> 00:58:12.440
<v Speaker 3>of an inch of the most this thing was, you know,

1348
00:58:13.239 --> 00:58:15.519
<v Speaker 3>quarter inches of the shallowest up to three quarter inch

1349
00:58:15.599 --> 00:58:18.280
<v Speaker 3>deep at the deepest. So I mean the Tota truck's

1350
00:58:18.320 --> 00:58:20.760
<v Speaker 3>not making a dent. This thing was pressing into the ground.

1351
00:58:20.800 --> 00:58:22.360
<v Speaker 3>This thing was pressing into the ground where the toytoes

1352
00:58:22.360 --> 00:58:24.840
<v Speaker 3>were making a dent. So I mean had to have

1353
00:58:25.039 --> 00:58:29.039
<v Speaker 3>great mass and weight, you have it. After we saw that,

1354
00:58:29.199 --> 00:58:31.360
<v Speaker 3>we went to bed. I was just going to sleep

1355
00:58:31.360 --> 00:58:33.039
<v Speaker 3>in the back of my truck, and I like, Eric,

1356
00:58:33.079 --> 00:58:34.559
<v Speaker 3>move over, I'm sleeping in the back.

1357
00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:36.320
<v Speaker 4>Of the end. He had a shell.

1358
00:58:36.480 --> 00:58:38.960
<v Speaker 3>He had a regular size, you know, small toida truck

1359
00:58:39.719 --> 00:58:43.079
<v Speaker 3>with the the the shell was the same profile as

1360
00:58:43.079 --> 00:58:45.679
<v Speaker 3>the height of the calves. And he had a carpet

1361
00:58:45.719 --> 00:58:48.800
<v Speaker 3>kit in the back so that he could put like

1362
00:58:49.000 --> 00:58:51.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, store wet suits and boards underneath that whatever

1363
00:58:51.760 --> 00:58:54.920
<v Speaker 3>when he's sleeping. So I and you know, it's room

1364
00:58:54.960 --> 00:58:57.119
<v Speaker 3>for really one guy, and I'm like, dude, move over.

1365
00:58:57.199 --> 00:58:59.000
<v Speaker 4>So I squeezed in there with him. We laid there

1366
00:58:59.039 --> 00:58:59.880
<v Speaker 4>all night, barely.

1367
00:59:00.360 --> 00:59:02.360
<v Speaker 3>We thought for sure we're going to get the truck

1368
00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:04.920
<v Speaker 3>flipped over because there was a lot of stories back there,

1369
00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:07.079
<v Speaker 3>and then picking up cars and trucks and shaking them

1370
00:59:07.079 --> 00:59:09.559
<v Speaker 3>when people were sleeping inside of them. So I thought

1371
00:59:09.599 --> 00:59:10.719
<v Speaker 3>that was going to happen. I thought I was going

1372
00:59:10.800 --> 00:59:12.360
<v Speaker 3>to rip off the back of terrace out of there

1373
00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:14.519
<v Speaker 3>or something. But nothing happened the rest of the night.

1374
00:59:14.599 --> 00:59:16.559
<v Speaker 3>It is, it's kind of funny watching me. I was like,

1375
00:59:16.679 --> 00:59:19.519
<v Speaker 3>I was like dda my dog, trying to crawl into something,

1376
00:59:19.559 --> 00:59:22.920
<v Speaker 3>hide myself, you know, just cuddling up with my buddy

1377
00:59:22.920 --> 00:59:26.280
<v Speaker 3>all night. But yeah, so then I spent a lot

1378
00:59:26.280 --> 00:59:28.880
<v Speaker 3>of time with there. I mean I spent nights and

1379
00:59:28.960 --> 00:59:31.000
<v Speaker 3>nights and nights and nights with a sunny night shot

1380
00:59:31.000 --> 00:59:34.119
<v Speaker 3>out there, hoping that I had a sunny night shot

1381
00:59:34.159 --> 00:59:37.119
<v Speaker 3>with a spotlight, a portable spotlight you know back in

1382
00:59:37.239 --> 00:59:40.199
<v Speaker 3>the battery sucked and they ruin out fast.

1383
00:59:40.239 --> 00:59:42.159
<v Speaker 4>They weren't even that great of light. And they're pretty good.

1384
00:59:42.199 --> 00:59:42.960
<v Speaker 4>They're pretty good.

1385
00:59:43.280 --> 00:59:47.559
<v Speaker 3>I had that with some red that oh god, that

1386
00:59:47.599 --> 00:59:50.199
<v Speaker 3>red cella fane stuff. What's it called, Yeah, like du Beatine,

1387
00:59:50.199 --> 00:59:52.000
<v Speaker 3>I think they call it. So I had some red

1388
00:59:52.599 --> 00:59:54.679
<v Speaker 3>filter over over the light. And then I had a

1389
00:59:54.719 --> 00:59:58.000
<v Speaker 3>suny night shot camera. And I spent the next couple

1390
00:59:58.039 --> 01:00:00.920
<v Speaker 3>of years up there just ryan hoping to see this

1391
01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:03.480
<v Speaker 3>thing that I was gonna spotlight it with the spotlight

1392
01:00:03.480 --> 01:00:06.000
<v Speaker 3>and then turn on the night shot and film it,

1393
01:00:06.039 --> 01:00:08.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, that way. But I never had any luck,

1394
01:00:08.880 --> 01:00:10.679
<v Speaker 3>just but I spent a lot of nights out there.

1395
01:00:10.840 --> 01:00:11.960
<v Speaker 3>One thing that did happen out there when I was

1396
01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:16.320
<v Speaker 3>out there looking was when I was up at a

1397
01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:19.280
<v Speaker 3>Dolson prairie up there, you can park and go hiking

1398
01:00:19.280 --> 01:00:21.559
<v Speaker 3>down into the roadway park. It's inside the park, it's

1399
01:00:21.599 --> 01:00:24.000
<v Speaker 3>right on the road. There's a little parking lot there.

1400
01:00:24.519 --> 01:00:26.840
<v Speaker 3>I was sitting there in this ranger cam because back

1401
01:00:26.840 --> 01:00:28.559
<v Speaker 3>then they always thought I was some tweaker out there

1402
01:00:28.599 --> 01:00:31.840
<v Speaker 3>up to no good, like they'd hassle me hard when

1403
01:00:31.840 --> 01:00:33.199
<v Speaker 3>the said they thought I was, well, there's a lot

1404
01:00:33.199 --> 01:00:34.960
<v Speaker 3>of car break ins and there's a lot of math

1405
01:00:35.039 --> 01:00:37.239
<v Speaker 3>out there, and so they thought I was one of

1406
01:00:37.239 --> 01:00:39.880
<v Speaker 3>those guys, so I'd get hassled. The'd always give me

1407
01:00:39.920 --> 01:00:42.400
<v Speaker 3>a hard time to hassle me and stuff. So this

1408
01:00:42.519 --> 01:00:44.440
<v Speaker 3>ranger comes with me that one of the ranger cops.

1409
01:00:44.920 --> 01:00:47.679
<v Speaker 3>He's grilling, you know, he's convinced him on drugs, and

1410
01:00:48.159 --> 01:00:49.000
<v Speaker 3>like I just look.

1411
01:00:48.880 --> 01:00:49.679
<v Speaker 4>Like I am not.

1412
01:00:51.360 --> 01:00:54.719
<v Speaker 3>And he's giving me a real hard time, you know,

1413
01:00:54.800 --> 01:00:56.840
<v Speaker 3>and he's pulling my whole car and he's pulling my

1414
01:00:56.880 --> 01:00:59.360
<v Speaker 3>car apart, just pulling everything out of the back and

1415
01:00:59.599 --> 01:01:01.880
<v Speaker 3>going through my bags. And I was just like, damn,

<v Speaker 3>years out here, and I'm so glad you're here. And

<v Speaker 4>then we hear another roar, and.

1434
01:01:43.599 --> 01:01:45.519
<v Speaker 3>Then all of a sudden, you just see this just

<v Speaker 3>bellowing and screaming and orient and his face. Dude, his

1436
01:01:48.440 --> 01:01:51.039
<v Speaker 3>jaw dropped and his eyes popped out of his head

1437
01:01:51.039 --> 01:01:54.760
<v Speaker 3>and he turned just just went white. He was so

1438
01:01:54.840 --> 01:01:58.000
<v Speaker 3>scared that he then he turned on his mag light

1439
01:01:58.280 --> 01:02:01.920
<v Speaker 3>and shined it over and dude, like seventy feet from us,

1440
01:02:01.920 --> 01:02:05.320
<v Speaker 3>seventy five feet away, this huge black beard jumped on

1441
01:02:05.360 --> 01:02:07.480
<v Speaker 3>a smaller black bear and had its head in its

1442
01:02:07.519 --> 01:02:09.559
<v Speaker 3>mouth and was just ripping it and tearing it with

1443
01:02:09.559 --> 01:02:12.559
<v Speaker 3>its claws. And the one on the bottom was screaming

1444
01:02:12.599 --> 01:02:15.360
<v Speaker 3>its bloody murder, and the one on top was roaring,

1445
01:02:15.480 --> 01:02:16.840
<v Speaker 3>and you know, full attack mode.

1446
01:02:16.880 --> 01:02:18.920
<v Speaker 4>Everyone was full survival screaming mode.

1447
01:02:20.079 --> 01:02:22.159
<v Speaker 3>And we were just there going we were both like,

<v Speaker 3>light and the light and all that, and the big

1451
01:02:31.599 --> 01:02:33.480
<v Speaker 3>one let go and they split apart, and the little

1452
01:02:33.480 --> 01:02:35.360
<v Speaker 3>one ran off and the other one ran off.

1453
01:02:35.199 --> 01:02:35.679
<v Speaker 4>The other way.

1454
01:02:35.719 --> 01:02:39.199
<v Speaker 3>And then he was just like, you thought it was

1455
01:02:39.199 --> 01:02:40.960
<v Speaker 3>a big foot, didn't you? And I was kind of laughing,

1456
01:02:41.000 --> 01:02:44.840
<v Speaker 3>and he was not amazed. He was like, he's like, well, no,

1457
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:47.719
<v Speaker 3>I did, did you were? You were more scared than

1458
01:02:47.760 --> 01:02:49.639
<v Speaker 3>I was. And I was scared for a minute. And

1459
01:02:49.639 --> 01:02:51.719
<v Speaker 3>he just goes, no, I wasn't, you know, And then

1460
01:02:52.480 --> 01:02:54.360
<v Speaker 3>he got really embarrassed and he just laughed.

1461
01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:57.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. He never hassled me again after that. Nice.

1462
01:02:58.800 --> 01:03:01.119
<v Speaker 2>That's wild, Yeah, because I I had heard the story

1463
01:03:01.119 --> 01:03:03.239
<v Speaker 2>about your first siding with the night Vision unit and

1464
01:03:03.639 --> 01:03:06.440
<v Speaker 2>afraid it's being on the call with the radio show,

1465
01:03:06.440 --> 01:03:08.599
<v Speaker 2>but I never realized that that was right in the

1466
01:03:08.639 --> 01:03:11.320
<v Speaker 2>aftermath of that other encounter and in the same place.

1467
01:03:11.360 --> 01:03:14.280
<v Speaker 4>I had no idea. Oh yeah, there are five days apart.

1468
01:03:14.519 --> 01:03:16.679
<v Speaker 3>I saw it on April or May twenty six, and

1469
01:03:16.760 --> 01:03:19.159
<v Speaker 3>the first night encounter was May twenty first, Well.

1470
01:03:19.039 --> 01:03:21.559
<v Speaker 2>I see we're coming up on our hour mark here,

1471
01:03:21.880 --> 01:03:23.639
<v Speaker 2>so maybe we can hop over to the member section

1472
01:03:23.719 --> 01:03:26.480
<v Speaker 2>then and talk about some of your other encounters, whether

1473
01:03:26.559 --> 01:03:27.480
<v Speaker 2>visual or otherwise.

1474
01:03:27.519 --> 01:03:28.440
<v Speaker 4>There If you're up for it.

1475
01:03:28.840 --> 01:03:31.800
<v Speaker 3>That sounds good, because my best setting was long after that,

1476
01:03:31.840 --> 01:03:34.159
<v Speaker 3>a couple of years later was in the New.

1477
01:03:34.119 --> 01:03:37.280
<v Speaker 4>Mexico on the Hickoria Patro Reservation. I'll tell that story.

1478
01:03:37.719 --> 01:03:38.559
<v Speaker 4>Oh that'd be great.

1479
01:03:38.840 --> 01:03:41.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we'll hop over there now. And as Cliff usually says,

1480
01:03:41.719 --> 01:03:44.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm since I produced these, I put together

1481
01:03:44.079 --> 01:03:45.639
<v Speaker 2>the show notes. I always have a link in the

1482
01:03:45.639 --> 01:03:48.119
<v Speaker 2>show notes, and so if you're not already a member,

1483
01:03:48.119 --> 01:03:49.920
<v Speaker 2>if you'd like to become a member. It's only five

1484
01:03:49.960 --> 01:03:52.239
<v Speaker 2>dollars a month. We do an extra episode every week.

1485
01:03:52.320 --> 01:03:55.199
<v Speaker 2>Those come out every Thursday, and then we usually post

1486
01:03:55.239 --> 01:03:58.000
<v Speaker 2>additional contents. So if there's photos or videos that go

1487
01:03:58.039 --> 01:04:01.880
<v Speaker 2>along with the episodes, or anything Cliff or Bobo related

1488
01:04:01.880 --> 01:04:04.320
<v Speaker 2>in the meantime, those get posted there too, and so

1489
01:04:04.400 --> 01:04:06.239
<v Speaker 2>the link to the membership section will be in there

1490
01:04:06.239 --> 01:04:07.239
<v Speaker 2>in the show notes as well.

1491
01:04:07.760 --> 01:04:10.360
<v Speaker 4>Okay, folks, Well that's it for this week. Thanks for listening.
