Speaker 1: You're listening to BIGFA Society, and I'm Jeremiah Bron. In
Speaker 1: this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring
Speaker 1: you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen
Speaker 1: something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to
Speaker 1: quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,
Speaker 1: and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.
Speaker 1: These are the voices of the people who've lived it.
Speaker 1: To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that
Speaker 1: just might change the way you see the woods forever.
Speaker 1: So stay with us. Hey, how's it going good?
Speaker 2: How are you good?
Speaker 3: Good?
Speaker 2: I saw you.
Speaker 1: Wanting to come up. What brings you up today?
Speaker 4: Hey, well, I guess I'll ready to tell my little
Speaker 4: bit of a story.
Speaker 2: That's all right?
Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, sure, all right.
Speaker 4: So it happened in upstate New York and the Cat
Speaker 4: Skills in May of two thousand and seven. I'm on
Speaker 4: the fire department and we'd gotten a call late at
Speaker 4: night for a MVA involving a pedestrian and the location
Speaker 4: of the accident was kind of suspicious because it's out
Speaker 4: in the middle of nowhere, so it was kind of
Speaker 4: odd that somebody had been struck by a vehicle. So
Speaker 4: me and four other guys on the engine go up
Speaker 4: to the scene. And we get there and there's two
Speaker 4: state troopers and are cheap And as we roll by
Speaker 4: the car, we can see that there's quite a bit
Speaker 4: image to it, but we don't see anybody lying next
Speaker 4: to the car. So we get out and we go
Speaker 4: up and we're tending to the car, making sure nothing's
Speaker 4: on fire, and everything's okay with the car and the patient,
Speaker 4: and I can hear it was a woman was telling
Speaker 4: the state trooper that she hit a man and what
Speaker 4: she thought was like a gilly suit, And I guess
Speaker 4: the troopers weren't taking her too seriously. They were trying
Speaker 4: to convince her that it was she had a bear,
Speaker 4: and she was quite adamant that she had hit a person.
Speaker 4: So just to make sure, they wanted to send a
Speaker 4: few of us out into the woods to kind of
Speaker 4: go look and see if we could find anything. Well,
Speaker 4: as we were getting together, they ended up bringing in
Speaker 4: some search dogs from a couple couple counties over. And
Speaker 4: when you go out and do a search and rescue,
Speaker 4: they like to get all the searchers together and the
Speaker 4: dogs will actually come around and sniff you and they'll
Speaker 4: pick up your sense, so when you're out in the
Speaker 4: woods together, they won't pick you up and start, you know,
Speaker 4: come look for you. So we were all standing there
Speaker 4: getting sniffed by these dogs, and they started to take
Speaker 4: the dogs up to the car to get the sign
Speaker 4: off the car, and they got thirty feet from that
Speaker 4: car and their hire started to stand up. They start
Speaker 4: their tails tucked and they started to pull back towards
Speaker 4: the trucks to get back in their crates. They just
Speaker 4: would not get by whatever the smell was on this car. Well,
Speaker 4: the stage wanted to call it a night, but my chief,
Speaker 4: you know, because this woman was so adamant that it
Speaker 4: was a person, still wanted to send some guys out.
Speaker 4: And one of the guys on the crew with me,
Speaker 4: he refused to go out. So there was three of
Speaker 4: us that actually went out. It's a small town, there's
Speaker 4: not very many of us. So we go out out
Speaker 4: into the woods and it was real thick. This area's
Speaker 4: real thick woods and just brier patch everywhere, and it's
Speaker 4: real tough to get through. We get at about an
Speaker 4: how we're out into the woods and all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: we see this thing and it looks like it's leaning
Speaker 4: on a tree, like, with its arm up and its
Speaker 4: head resting on its arm, leaning on a tree. And
Speaker 4: I shout to it. I said, say, you know, we're
Speaker 4: here to help you. I say, you know where we're from.
Speaker 4: And we take another towards it. And as I'm looking
Speaker 4: at it, I'm about five seven, I'm pretty short, and
Speaker 4: it looked about my height. As we took another step
Speaker 4: towards it and had our flashlights on it, the friggin
Speaker 4: thing stood up and it was over. It was over
Speaker 4: seven feet tall. It wasn't enormous enormous, but it was.
Speaker 4: It was big. We all just kind of frozen. We
Speaker 4: got our flashlights on it, and it kind of turned
Speaker 4: and looked at us, and you could see just the
Speaker 4: It wasn't like a scary it wasn't a scary thing,
Speaker 4: but you could see the pain in its eyes. And
Speaker 4: it had brown eyes. It didn't have yellow or red
Speaker 4: glowing eyes. It had brown eyes, just like just like
Speaker 4: the guy.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 4: We just kind of frozen, were sitting there looking at it,
Speaker 4: and I noticed that its right leg looked wet. It
Speaker 4: was all, you know, it's all covered in hair and
Speaker 4: like madded down, so I'm thinking it must have been
Speaker 4: when it got hit. It was bleeding, but we never
Speaker 4: picked up a blood trail, so I don't know if
Speaker 4: the hair was soaking up the blood or lot. But
Speaker 4: it just kind of whatever this thing was, it just
Speaker 4: kind of looked scared and confused. So we're just sitting
Speaker 4: there staring at it, and it seems like an eternity.
Speaker 4: But it was probably seconds to the left of us,
Speaker 4: we hear this whooping sound, and then right at like
Speaker 4: after there was three whoops. And after the first one,
Speaker 4: it sounded like something banging up against the tree to
Speaker 4: our right. So as the other two guys were with me,
Speaker 4: they they moved their flashlights in the direction of where
Speaker 4: that banging's coming from, and this thing that's in front
Speaker 4: of us starts to walk kind of limp away to
Speaker 4: the left, and it just disappeared within feet it was gone.
Speaker 4: We didn't chase after it or nothing like that. We
Speaker 4: just kind of radioed back to our chief that we
Speaker 4: couldn't find anything. They called off the search and we
Speaker 4: came out and that was that, and we just sort
Speaker 4: of went about our life after that.
Speaker 2: But that's what happened to us.
Speaker 1: Holy mackerel. Okay, so you never you never told you
Speaker 1: chief or anyone else about what you saw.
Speaker 4: We didn't tell it, man, this had this was back
Speaker 4: in two thousand and six or two thousand and seven.
Speaker 4: We never told us a soul about it. We just
Speaker 4: went about life like nothing ever happened.
Speaker 1: Wow, it was just one of the first times you've
Speaker 1: ever shared what you saw that day.
Speaker 4: I told my girlfriend a while back about it, but
Speaker 4: other than that, you know, I've never told family members.
Speaker 4: I've never told anybody else at the firehouse. We just
Speaker 4: we all, you know, we were young and we've all
Speaker 4: grown up, so we just never really ever talked about
Speaker 4: it again, just kind of put it away and moved on.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I can I can assure you anybody that
Speaker 4: doesn't believe, I can assure you they're out there. And
Speaker 4: I don't think there's anything to be scared of, you know,
Speaker 4: I don't think it's anything to be scared of. I'm
Speaker 4: sure there's you know, just like people. There's a few
Speaker 4: of them that are a holes, are ever, But for
Speaker 4: the most part, I think they're just trying to exist.
Speaker 1: When you say it disappeared does that mean that it
Speaker 1: actually disappeared or just after it walked and they.
Speaker 2: Don't see it anymore.
Speaker 4: No, No, it's so it was so thing there, you know,
Speaker 4: it just kind of okay ye, No, no, none of that,
Speaker 4: none of that alternate universe kind of crap. No, this
Speaker 4: is a real thing that just lives.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, have you seen anything else that looks
Speaker 1: like what you saw that day?
Speaker 4: No, I've never seen anything like that before in my life. Well, yeah,
Speaker 4: actually that that film there from where's out in California
Speaker 4: there from like what was it the fifties or sixties?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the what that person Gimmlin film from the late sixties.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're walking on the the creek bed there.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 4: It was kind of like the face the features of
Speaker 4: it that like the cone to it. If that were
Speaker 4: that thing was to be an adult, I would say
Speaker 4: this thing was like maybe like a teenager, do you
Speaker 4: know what.
Speaker 2: I'm going to say?
Speaker 4: It was more like lean kind of I would say
Speaker 4: it was probably a male. It looked more more lean,
Speaker 4: like not bubbly, I guess, and curved like what you
Speaker 4: see on the film. But the face features and like
Speaker 4: the head and how the shoulders like sit up. Were
Speaker 4: like when it turned, it didn't turn its neck, it
Speaker 4: turned its body kind of like at the hip to
Speaker 4: look at us.
Speaker 2: If that makes any sense whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Now, No, it absolutely makes sense to me. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is a this is an intense one man. Wow, thank
Speaker 1: you for sharing. This is this one where. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: do have a big Foot podcast. Is it okay to
Speaker 1: use the audio from this on the podcast or would
Speaker 1: you rather not have that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: That's fine. I don't think I've give been like I said.
Speaker 4: I know it sounds weird, but I don't think I've
Speaker 4: said anything that anybody could really other than Upstate New
Speaker 4: York and the cat skills.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you are saying that I can use the
Speaker 1: audio then yeah, yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 5: Perfect. Well.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you coming up. If any if you ever
Speaker 1: run into anything else, you're welcome to reach out. You know,
Speaker 1: my email is Bigfoot Society gmail dot com. But I
Speaker 1: appreciate you sharing what you saw that day.
Speaker 2: Hey, thank you.
Speaker 1: That was absolutely intense. That's why I do these lives,
Speaker 1: because you get you get accounts like that for some
Speaker 1: reason on this platform. It's absolutely intense. Hey Martina, how
Speaker 1: are you hi?
Speaker 3: I'm doing awesome.
Speaker 1: Awesome. Are you coming up to share a bigfoot experience
Speaker 1: you have?
Speaker 6: I am I had a Bigfoot experience in let's see,
Speaker 6: we're in August in June of this year, and I
Speaker 6: had never had a Bigfoot experience. I am Native American,
Speaker 6: so I believe in Bigfoot. I've never had an encounter,
Speaker 6: but I've always heard stories. I was in northern Idaho
Speaker 6: at the time. I'm currently in Washington State and it's
Speaker 6: very dense forest where I was. The apartment that I
Speaker 6: was they wouldn't allow smoking, so I had to walk
Speaker 6: a little bit off of the property into the woods
Speaker 6: to have a cigarette. I had stayed up late that night,
Speaker 6: probably midnight, and I got into a slight argument with
Speaker 6: my partner at the time, so I need a cigarette.
Speaker 6: I start walking out into the woods and I hear
Speaker 6: this sound. And it wasn't a scream, it wasn't a yell.
Speaker 6: It was almost like a bellowing. But it rocked me
Speaker 6: to my core. I have never heard a sound like that.
Speaker 6: I immediately somewhere in my brain I knew.
Speaker 7: Who and what it was.
Speaker 6: And because of the way I was raised, I have
Speaker 6: a lot of respect for and I don't even care
Speaker 6: to call him bigfoot.
Speaker 5: But.
Speaker 6: I immediately turned around and I felt like he could be
Speaker 6: near me in an instant, even though his voice was
Speaker 6: slightly distant, I felt as if he could he sensed
Speaker 6: my presence. I just was. I still think about it.
Speaker 6: I mean, that's how intense it was. I walked very
Speaker 6: fast back to the apartment and I asked my boyfriend
Speaker 6: at the time, are you going to come and have
Speaker 6: a cigarette with me? And he thought that I was
Speaker 6: upset about our disagreement that we had and I didn't
Speaker 6: tell him what I had heard, and he's like, yes,
Speaker 6: I'll come with you. So he gets up and puts
Speaker 6: on his shoes and we walk out together and he
Speaker 6: hears it. He says to me, stop, do you hear this?
Speaker 6: And I said yes. I said, that's why I came
Speaker 6: back to get you. And he said I thought you
Speaker 6: were upset. He said because when you walked in the door,
Speaker 6: he said, you were as white as your coat.
Speaker 7: I was wearing a white coat because it was chilly.
Speaker 1: We were in the mountains.
Speaker 6: But I feel forever change because of that experience. We
Speaker 6: stood out there, I smoked my cigarette and he must
Speaker 6: have yelled.
Speaker 7: I don't know how many minutes and it was just.
Speaker 6: I even talking about it now, I still get chills.
Speaker 6: And that's just something that I wanted to share. I
Speaker 6: felt very humbled by the experience, very grateful, and very
Speaker 6: small and it's just my story that I wanted to share.
Speaker 1: Thank you for sharing that. Is it similar to things
Speaker 1: that you'll hear in like TV shows about things or
Speaker 1: was this completely different?
Speaker 6: Well after my boyfriend at the time, my ex, he
Speaker 6: heard it and we immediately went to YouTube and he
Speaker 6: was like, does it sound like this? And they were
Speaker 6: the sightings of Bigfoot and it was pretty much the
Speaker 6: exact same as reputable Bigfoot sightings. And I don't know
Speaker 6: much about you know, the people that have studied bigfoot,
Speaker 6: but since this.
Speaker 7: Encounter, I know of one guy.
Speaker 6: I think he was out of California or Nevada, somewhere
Speaker 6: down south. It was one of his recordings and it
Speaker 6: was exactly.
Speaker 1: On what a cool thing to experience, especially, I mean,
Speaker 1: northern Idaho is such a active area. And just thank
Speaker 1: you for coming up. I do have a bigfoot podcast.
Speaker 1: Would it be okay if I use this audio for
Speaker 1: that podcast? Absolutely okay, Thank you so much for coming up.
Speaker 6: Martina not a problem. Have a great day you.
Speaker 1: Too, Hey Green, How are you hi? How are you
Speaker 1: doing great? Are you coming up to share a bigfoot
Speaker 1: experience you had?
Speaker 8: Yes, And I am. My family thinks I'm crazy, but
Speaker 8: they think my dad was crazy too. My dad grew
Speaker 8: up on a farm in Mammy, Ohio a long long
Speaker 8: time ago. He's passed away twenty years now. But he
Speaker 8: told me when he was a kid, around ten and
Speaker 8: eleven years old. There was thirteen kids in his family,
Speaker 8: thirteen siblings, and he said that that he had an
Speaker 8: encounter with a thing back then, and he caught it bigfoot,
Speaker 8: you know, later on in life, because he didn't know
Speaker 8: what it was, but he used to bring It wasn't
Speaker 8: aggressive towards him. He had seen it up close and
Speaker 8: it would interact with him, you know.
Speaker 7: So he would.
Speaker 8: Bring fruit and leave it. And it was a thing.
Speaker 8: So he would go on the weekends and he would
Speaker 8: walk out to the past and he would bring fruit
Speaker 8: and he would sit there and wait. And he said
Speaker 8: he over the years, he's probably had ten encounters with Bigfoot.
Speaker 8: And he told me this, and I'm like, so, Bigfoot
Speaker 8: isn't aggressive. He didn't hurt you, didn't try He's like, no,
Speaker 8: he sat there, he was just gibber jabbering and couldn't
Speaker 8: understand him. He said, but it was like they were
Speaker 8: having a conversation. And he said I could understand him.
Speaker 8: Even though I couldn't understand him. It's like he had,
Speaker 8: you know, formed a friendship with Bigfoot, you know. So
Speaker 8: that was pretty cool. And my dad had told me
Speaker 8: that story because I was always interested in bigfoot, even
Speaker 8: as a child. I was like, Oh my god, I
Speaker 8: want to see Bigfoot. I want to you know, I
Speaker 8: want to meet bigfoot. People called me crazy, there's no
Speaker 8: bigfoot whatever. I grew up in Louisiana, and they in
Speaker 8: Louisiana they have different names for it, the rugaroo, you know,
Speaker 8: different names for bigfoot there. And I had an experience
Speaker 8: with some friends late at night. We would go out
Speaker 8: on our four wheelers or two three wheelers back then,
Speaker 8: and into the woods and we would hear these noises
Speaker 8: in these knocks, and I said, oh, that's bigfoot, that's bigfoot.
Speaker 8: There's about six of us and we all heard it,
Speaker 8: and they're like, oh, there's no bigfoot. There's no bigfoot.
Speaker 8: And sure enough, we were shining our flashlights and we've
Speaker 8: seen them, all of us, and I was just amazed.
Speaker 8: I wasn't scared. I was just sitting, you know, sitting
Speaker 8: there on the bike, and I'm thinking, oh god, this pigfoot.
Speaker 8: They all took off and left me and I'm just
Speaker 8: sitting there and I'm not scared, right, And it wasn't aggressive,
Speaker 8: didn't try to approach me or anything. Finally I left.
Speaker 8: But yeah, that that was my my bigfoot story and
Speaker 8: my dad's as well. So I just you know, I'm
Speaker 8: not afraid. I hope to see them again someday. I
Speaker 8: don't live in the country anymore, but I live more
Speaker 8: like in the city.
Speaker 1: Sure, well, thank you for sharing that the place in Louisiana.
Speaker 1: Are you able to share the general area that happened.
Speaker 8: It happened in Sorrento and Sorrento kind of like like
Speaker 8: Suspension Parish in the woods. Sorrento back then was not
Speaker 8: as grown and populated like it is now. There's a
Speaker 8: lot of farm land and a lot of wilderness. So yeah,
Speaker 8: so it would it was in Sorrento.
Speaker 1: What what what year is that? What'd you say that would.
Speaker 8: Have been in the early It would have been about
Speaker 8: eighty five that it happened.
Speaker 1: Okay, gotcha is your is it your father still with us?
Speaker 8: No, my father passed away twenty years ago, gotcha. Yeah,
Speaker 8: And he told these stories to my kids. You know,
Speaker 8: my three young were kids, they were kids then, and
Speaker 8: he would sit and tell them stories about Bigfoot and
Speaker 8: the stories about the war because my dad was in
Speaker 8: the war. He was in the Navy and the army,
Speaker 8: and you know, it was just one of those things
Speaker 8: that he connected with my kids with so my kids,
Speaker 8: they they believed in Grandpa. They believed my dad. My
Speaker 8: dad wasn't one to tell stories. It was not want
Speaker 8: to make up stuff. He was not that he was
Speaker 8: a street shooter. He told it like it is. And
Speaker 8: that's that. He never would have fabricated the stories. I
Speaker 8: believed them growing up. And you know that's that. He
Speaker 8: never would have fabricated the stories. I believed them growing up.
Speaker 8: And you know, yeah, my kids believed them. And they
Speaker 8: were so curious. They wanted him to take them out
Speaker 8: and you know them, and they were so curious. They
Speaker 8: wanted him to take them out and you know, the
Speaker 8: woods to see if they could experience it. And I
Speaker 8: wouldn't let my kids go, you know, I wouldn't. They
Speaker 8: were young. They were you know, ten, you know, they
Speaker 8: weren't eight and seven, So I didn't really want them
Speaker 8: out in the woods with their grandpa at that time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally understand that the area that your your
Speaker 1: father was having things happen in Ohio? Did you say,
Speaker 1: was Mottville?
Speaker 8: No, mommy, Ohio?
Speaker 1: How do you spell that?
Speaker 8: Mommy? I just I don't even know they.
Speaker 1: Oh, I figured it out, Okay, I got it. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: So Northwest Corner.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, and it back then when he was growing up,
Speaker 8: it was all because they were farmers. You know, they
Speaker 8: had land and they farmed, and they had lots of
Speaker 8: land out there. So you know, he said, like his
Speaker 8: siblings may have experienced it too, but he was one
Speaker 8: of one of the kids that just had no fear.
Speaker 8: He would go out and he wasn't he wasn't afraid
Speaker 8: of being in the woods. Is comfortable there. That was
Speaker 8: his his you know, place where he found his serenity.
Speaker 8: He just don't go at home. And I thought it
Speaker 8: was just really cool that my dad would, you know,
Speaker 8: told me that, And and now he would gift them,
Speaker 8: he would he would feed the big foot that would
Speaker 8: talk to him or they would communicate, and it was
Speaker 8: weird because my dad said he did. It was like
Speaker 8: he didn't understand him, but he did. It was like
Speaker 8: a mental thing. It was like almost like a teleopathy,
Speaker 8: like he can unders he can understand him, even though
Speaker 8: he couldn't. It was just gibberish that big Wood was
Speaker 8: and they were sitting on the ground like across from
Speaker 8: each other. Like it was so cool that my dad
Speaker 8: had that experience.
Speaker 1: You know, So how far back? What what years would
Speaker 1: he be experienced that in the mommy area?
Speaker 8: Do you think, well, that would have been okay, So
Speaker 8: my dad he died at sixty seven years old, twenty
Speaker 8: years ago, so I don't really remember. I don't know
Speaker 8: the year into the math. He would have been about
Speaker 8: ten or eleven, twelve years old somewhere around there. He
Speaker 8: was preteen when he had that happened. And you know,
Speaker 8: he's seen them like quite a few times. He said
Speaker 8: he would go out, yeah.
Speaker 1: Sixties sixties maybe, you know, Yeah, Okay, did he ever
Speaker 1: write any his did he to keep a journal of
Speaker 1: what he experienced?
Speaker 8: No? No, When he passed away, we went through all
Speaker 8: those things and we never seen him the journal or anything. Yeah,
Speaker 8: that would have been cool as he did, you know,
Speaker 8: because I would have had I would have had that
Speaker 8: to have his memory and he was just my dad.
Speaker 8: He was he is one of the best guys you
Speaker 8: would have known. Like everybody loved him, you know, he
Speaker 8: was very highly respected and he was This is a
Speaker 8: really good guy, a really good guy, and I miss him.
Speaker 1: It is really cool that you're able to, you know,
Speaker 1: honor his memory by by sharing some of his stories.
Speaker 1: And I appreciate you coming up and sharing that and
Speaker 1: then sharing what you experienced down Louisiana yourself. Is this
Speaker 1: a conversation that is off record? Or would I be
Speaker 1: able to use the audio from it for my big
Speaker 1: Foot podcast I have?
Speaker 8: You can use it absolutely, Yeah, yeah, now he's he's
Speaker 8: missed and he really is questions, you know, and yeah,
Speaker 8: you can absolutely use it. There's people in my family
Speaker 8: now if you think I'm crazy. You know, my older
Speaker 8: sip things that they heard the same stories obviously, but
Speaker 8: I don't know they just kind of like, oh, yeah, yeah, whatever.
Speaker 8: I guess until you have your own experience, right, you're
Speaker 8: not really going to believe it. Or there's some people
Speaker 8: out there just going to stick their head in the
Speaker 8: sand and not believe it because but I look at it.
Speaker 8: This why, you know, why, why couldn't it be true?
Speaker 8: I tell them, you know, you think that we're only
Speaker 8: the only species here on earth that has maybe has
Speaker 8: not been discovered yet.
Speaker 7: Yet.
Speaker 8: He's not there and he's not real, and I do
Speaker 8: believe that we can.
Speaker 7: It's a spiritual thing.
Speaker 8: I believe that they're interdimensional beings. That's just my thoughts.
Speaker 8: You know. That's why some people say they've never experienced
Speaker 8: it and some people say they have. You know, absolutely,
Speaker 8: and I really believe that. I mean, if you have
Speaker 8: an encounter with Bigfoot, it was meant for you to
Speaker 8: have that encounter, right. I don't know what the senses
Speaker 8: you know that you believe or feel. I just believe
Speaker 8: that if you have an encounter, it was meant to
Speaker 8: I don't believe that it's an aggressive, you know species.
Speaker 8: I believe that it can be if it's threatened, just
Speaker 8: like you, if some you know comes in your home
Speaker 8: like their home is the wilderness, with a gun or whatever.
Speaker 8: Sorry if I'm not supposed to say that, but if
Speaker 8: you feel threatened, how are you going to act? You're
Speaker 8: going to defend yourself well.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm get exactly, that your intention has a
Speaker 1: ton to do with it. But yeah, I appreciate you
Speaker 1: coming up. Thank you so much. I do have a
Speaker 1: few other individuals to check in with, but I appreciate
Speaker 1: you chatting today. Have a good day, you too, good
Speaker 1: good stuff. Hey Marcus, how are you? Hey, I'm doing good.
Speaker 1: How are you doing great? Are you coming up to
Speaker 1: share a big sit experience you had?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's one that shook my world up, probably over
Speaker 9: twenty years ago, and I haven't been back to the
Speaker 9: same spot since.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 9: I live in the Appalachian Mountains. I live on a
Speaker 9: small town and me and a buddy mine we always
Speaker 9: look for different places the fish that the people didn't normally,
Speaker 9: you know, want to put in the effort to get
Speaker 9: there to fish. And we have this creek that flows
Speaker 9: through town and if you follow it all the way through,
Speaker 9: it ends up into a huge lake here where I live.
Speaker 9: And he's like, well, let's walk the creek and you know,
Speaker 9: sip we catch an each out or whatever, and it
Speaker 9: ends up over there and we'll just fish over there
Speaker 9: in that cove. There be cove over there, but there's
Speaker 9: I call them real real, real steep hills. Some of
Speaker 9: them you can't even climb there straight up. But so
Speaker 9: we walked. It takes about probably about three or four
Speaker 9: hours to get there, just cutting through fields and working
Speaker 9: our way through brush and stuff, and then wading across
Speaker 9: the water to get to the other side. And we
Speaker 9: got to where we wanted to be and didn't see
Speaker 9: no boats, nothing, didn't e see sign where people went
Speaker 9: back there. The grass is still stand up, you know.
Speaker 9: Everything was good. So we're like, hey, this isod place
Speaker 9: to cat fish. You know, we're gonna definitely, you know,
Speaker 9: stay here. So we built the fire, we started fishing,
Speaker 9: and it was it was the time of day to
Speaker 9: where you could still see color, but you could definitely
Speaker 9: still see bigger but long distance, you know, it was
Speaker 9: more of a dull or color, if you will. So
Speaker 9: I threw my fishing pole out and I put it
Speaker 9: in the holder, and he was to my right. The
Speaker 9: fire was in between us, a little bit behind of us,
Speaker 9: and I looked and down the way probably about if
Speaker 9: I had to guess, because I'm a hunter, and I
Speaker 9: would say probably around forty yards give or take. And
Speaker 9: I seen this big thing that it was nailt down
Speaker 9: like it was squatted, and it had its hands in
Speaker 9: the water. There was a little inlet there, and it
Speaker 9: was out on that inlet and it was missing in
Speaker 9: the water. You could see it moving its hands and
Speaker 9: you could see the water, you know, moving where it
Speaker 9: was moving his hands back and forth in the water.
Speaker 9: And I stood there a minute, you know, just trying
Speaker 9: to make sense because it was really hot that day.
Speaker 1: It was really hot.
Speaker 9: I think it was in July, to be honest with you,
Speaker 9: for August, but it was miserably hot. And I looked
Speaker 9: and finally I said, I said, hey, man, He said yeah,
Speaker 9: I said, what is that up there? And he looked
Speaker 9: at me, and I pointed up that way and he
Speaker 9: looked and he stood there. We both stood there for
Speaker 9: a while and just just looked at it because we couldn't,
Speaker 9: you know, we knew what we were looking at, but
Speaker 9: we just we just done found it with it, I suppose.
Speaker 9: And it's its body looked like like the fur on
Speaker 9: its body looked like almost like a long shaggy dog
Speaker 9: that had knots. And it was real long. It was
Speaker 9: almost like the body had dreads, but not dreads. It
Speaker 9: just realm mangy looking unkept, and it's chest plate and dreads.
Speaker 9: It just realm mangy looking, unkept, and its chest plate
Speaker 9: and it was like a brownish color, like a dark
Speaker 9: dark brown, not quite chocolate, but like a It was
Speaker 9: just like a brownish color. Its chest plate was I
Speaker 9: would say, a little bit lighter but not as dark,
Speaker 9: but they were hard to see the difference. And it
Speaker 9: had a little hair on that. But its head. I'm
Speaker 9: trying to think of what I could compare the top
Speaker 9: of its head to the bottom of its chin, because
Speaker 9: that's how far away. And me and my buddy, we've
Speaker 9: known each other for probably thirty years, and we would
Speaker 9: fish and sometimes in side by side and not talk
Speaker 9: for like thirty minutes or more, just because we're doing everything,
Speaker 9: and I'm trying to find something that I could compare
Speaker 9: it with. So off the top of my head, I
Speaker 9: don't have a comparison. The only way I could compare
Speaker 9: it is from the top of the head to the
Speaker 9: bottom of the chin. Looked almost as big as that
Speaker 9: old movie back in the day called Harry and Henderson's Okay, yeah,
Speaker 9: all right. Its head was that long and that big.
Speaker 2: It's it was huge.
Speaker 9: The head was and it started getting dark, and apparently
Speaker 9: we were in its space or it felt threatened or
Speaker 9: just didn't want us there. But so it got dark
Speaker 9: and we got nervous, and he's like, do you have
Speaker 9: your pupew And I'm like, yeah, I always carry it
Speaker 9: when we come to the woods. And he's like all right,
Speaker 9: He's like, well, we need to get He was nervous.
Speaker 9: I was too, and he's like, let's let's build this
Speaker 9: spirr up bigger, you know, And I'm like, yeah, I'm
Speaker 9: down for that. And so we're standing there fishing and
Speaker 9: you would hear like a like knocking on a tree,
Speaker 9: like somebody took a rock and smacked it up against
Speaker 9: a tree. And then you would literally it sounded like
Speaker 9: trees being pushed over it, just crashing the twigs. You'd
Speaker 9: hear the tree. And this is from one side of
Speaker 9: where the creek ran into the lake. From one side,
Speaker 9: it was a cove, so from one side to the
Speaker 9: other was probably about thirty yards, and when we first
Speaker 9: seen it, it was to my right way on the
Speaker 9: other end about forty forty five yards fifty yards maybe,
Speaker 9: and it sounded like like freaking trees being pushed over.
Speaker 9: The large branches were being snapped, and then huge rocks
Speaker 9: started hitting the water and we knew there were one
Speaker 9: of them. Sounded like a freaking boltswagon. I'm not kidding,
Speaker 9: but you could hear them coming through the air and
Speaker 9: they would hit the water and when they would hit
Speaker 9: the water, it would go boosh, and you could it
Speaker 9: was you know, it was heavy because you could hear
Speaker 9: the water come back down on top of the water.
Speaker 9: You understand what I'm saying. Yeah, so it went the
Speaker 9: water would go up in the air with a splash
Speaker 9: and then come back down, and then ripples would go
Speaker 9: by because we had a small lantern, and ripples would
Speaker 9: go by and it would make the ends of her
Speaker 9: poles jump because we kept our fishing lines tight for
Speaker 9: any kind of bite. But the ripples were so much
Speaker 9: from what was being throwed in the water. It was
Speaker 9: making her fishing poles balance as the ripples were going by.
Speaker 9: And then that went on, or I would say a
Speaker 9: good thirty minutes. We were actually contemplating like just just leaving,
Speaker 9: but we had only walked in that way, we'd never
Speaker 9: walked out. We wasn't really sure where to go. So
Speaker 9: then the whole holler, that's what we call it out
Speaker 9: here in Virginia. The whole holler, the whole cove. It
Speaker 9: smelt like the mustiest, raunchiest wet dog animal smell you
Speaker 9: can smell. And it just came all the way up
Speaker 9: through there and you could smell it. And after a
Speaker 9: while the smell went away, the sound stopped. Nothing else
Speaker 9: was being throwed in the water. But we stayed up
Speaker 9: all night, and the first we decided, you know, hey,
Speaker 9: look when he gets daylight, we're going to walk down
Speaker 9: there across from where that thing was at, because, like
Speaker 9: I said, there was a little inland there, and so
Speaker 9: when it got daylight, we were thinking, well, you know,
Speaker 9: maybe maybe it was just a stump or a tree
Speaker 9: or something, or a big rock or whatever. And so
Speaker 9: when it got daylight enough to sea, we walked all
Speaker 9: the way down there across from where it was, and
Speaker 9: there wasn't There wasn't no rock, no tree, no stump
Speaker 9: or anything down there up close or from a distance,
Speaker 9: standing in their own and they're in the same spots
Speaker 9: where that resembled that at all. So we packed up
Speaker 9: our stuff and we hiked out of there, and I personally,
Speaker 9: I have not been back.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's that's incredible. So the amount of distance you said,
Speaker 1: it's pretty much half a football field they believe is
Speaker 1: what we're looking at.
Speaker 9: Yeah, close to it.
Speaker 1: It couldn't been.
Speaker 9: It couldn't have been over fifty yards. It was big enough.
Speaker 9: We could see how big it was if I had
Speaker 9: to guess, A bit stood up and as wide as
Speaker 9: its shoulders were maybe seven eighth eet and then shoulders
Speaker 9: were he God, they were just big. It was just big.
Speaker 9: That's all I can say.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 9: It was big.
Speaker 8: It stunk.
Speaker 9: It didn't like us being there. It did everything it
Speaker 9: could during the night to drive us away and make
Speaker 9: us leave or whatever. We stayed, and I guess, you know,
Speaker 9: it just left us alone. But it was quite the experience.
Speaker 9: You mentioned.
Speaker 1: The length was similar to Harry and the Hendersons, But
Speaker 1: did it look like that or did the face look
Speaker 1: like something?
Speaker 9: The face looked different. It didn't have like to me
Speaker 9: the Harry and the Henderson movies. It looked he looked
Speaker 9: like almost like a monkey or like an eight. Facial
Speaker 9: features were hard to detail because it was starting to
Speaker 9: get dark, but it didn't have the same facial features.
Speaker 9: It had the hair on its head the same way
Speaker 9: it did on its body. Its face looked kind of darkish.
Speaker 9: So you know, as far as like facial details, I
Speaker 9: couldn't tell you it just you know, I've seen a
Speaker 9: lot of things in my life living in the Appalachian
Speaker 9: Mountains that I can't explain. And when you go around
Speaker 9: and you tell certain people about it, like, man, let
Speaker 9: me tell you this story, they kind of look at
Speaker 9: you like, yeah, okay. But I actually did a podcast.
Speaker 9: Do you remember the show that come on? I think
Speaker 9: it was Discovery. They would go out and look for Bigfoot.
Speaker 1: It was a big yes, yeahcting Bobo and those guys.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I did it. I did a podcast with Bobo
Speaker 9: and told my story.
Speaker 1: Okay, cool and just big fun. Beyond it was.
Speaker 9: I know, it was a dude with the long hair
Speaker 9: that always wears a hat.
Speaker 1: Dresses like a head beat Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 9: So it was him. And but I mean, I've seen
Speaker 9: a lot of things here in the in the mountains
Speaker 9: because I used to be a huge hunter. So I
Speaker 9: would like to get in the woods, you know, two
Speaker 9: or three hours before daylight, and I would come out
Speaker 9: of the woods like an hour or two after daylight
Speaker 9: because I was so far back in the woods. But
Speaker 9: this experience here has stuck with me my entire life,
Speaker 9: you know, over the last twenty some years that I
Speaker 9: can still remember every single detail of it.
Speaker 1: Absolutely can remind me of the year. Approximate year for
Speaker 1: this again.
Speaker 9: Let's see, I'm forty seven in November, so I would
Speaker 9: say I was probably late late twenties, maybe early like
Speaker 9: thirty one or so. Yeah, I was late twenties or
Speaker 9: early thirties.
Speaker 1: So maybe like you'd say, like twenty years ago or
Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So you are seeing
Speaker 1: the Appalachian Mountains. Not to not to push at all,
Speaker 1: but are you able to share at least the state
Speaker 1: that happened in or Virginia? Virginia Okay, I lived in
Speaker 1: the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Okay, yeah, perfect
Speaker 1: are absolutely. Also, would I be able to use the
Speaker 1: audio for this or from this for my Bigfoot podcast?
Speaker 10: I have?
Speaker 9: Yeah? Man, sure, I mean, I know I'm not the
Speaker 9: only one out there that's ever witnessed something like that.
Speaker 2: Oh. Absolutely.
Speaker 9: The more people talk about it, you know, eventually some
Speaker 9: days somebody's going to actually get footage of it. It
Speaker 9: may not be in their lifetime, but someone will actually
Speaker 9: get true footage of it at one point in time.
Speaker 9: It has to happen.
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 9: I know, I know they're stealthy, and I know they're
Speaker 9: good at hiding and stuff like that, but I mean
Speaker 9: everything slips up from time to time. You know what
Speaker 9: I mean.
Speaker 1: Now, that's true, That is true. Well, it is a
Speaker 1: pleasure chatting with you today. I appreciate you coming up
Speaker 1: and sharing what you saw down there in Virginia. I'm
Speaker 1: going to check in with a few other people, but
Speaker 1: is thank you for coming up.
Speaker 9: Yeah, man, thank you for having me.
Speaker 1: Hither. Thanks for coming up. Did you have a big
Speaker 1: folk experience you wanted to share?
Speaker 7: So?
Speaker 2: I saw?
Speaker 10: I love and Jefferson, I've got a big old piece
Speaker 10: of property here, Texas. I'm sorry you hear me?
Speaker 1: Yes, did you say Jefferson, Texas.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 10: So I live in Jefferson, Texas, and I've seen a
Speaker 10: number of encounters in my day and I want a
Speaker 10: big old piece of land out here. And now I
Speaker 10: just think it's quite interesting all the things I've seen here,
Speaker 10: and I've had some very close encounters that I've submitted myself,
Speaker 10: and it's just a very unusual that these people don't
Speaker 10: want to further investigate these these top signings.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, I mean that area is very very active.
Speaker 1: Who have you submitted your accounts to?
Speaker 10: So I've submitted them actually a couple two others. So
Speaker 10: one particular action was the University of Texas. It was
Speaker 10: a scholarly article that I submitted, and that it was
Speaker 10: about the findings of the big Foot and extra terrestrial animals.
Speaker 10: I know that sounds a little weird, but there was
Speaker 10: a big study done about the university and I'd gone
Speaker 10: out there and I actually invited some of these individuals
Speaker 10: come out to my land. I went about you know,
Speaker 10: well at one point it was forty it's about almost
Speaker 10: eighty acres now out there in Jefferson. But it was
Speaker 10: there was some initial response to the you know, to
Speaker 10: the invite if you will, and something come out, and
Speaker 10: from there it was almost like the you know, the
Speaker 10: interests had just died down, and once I showed them
Speaker 10: some interesting factual evidence, it just it just kind of
Speaker 10: went away, you know, any any inside on that there?
Speaker 1: I mean, well, I mean it may have been that well,
Speaker 1: I guess the first question was what kind of evidence
Speaker 1: did you show them?
Speaker 10: Well, I showed them a number of things there, Sir,
Speaker 10: I showed them, showed them some footprints. Not only had
Speaker 10: I photographed them, I've taken a couple of these college
Speaker 10: students out and I'd showed them some tracks that I
Speaker 10: believe to be a you know, of one of them. Moreover,
Speaker 10: there were some dead animals on my property with some unusual,
Speaker 10: very unusual you know marks on them, something deer. In particular,
Speaker 10: there was a small animal I believe this is a
Speaker 10: few years back. It was a excuse us a rabbit.
Speaker 10: If I'm not mistake, he was a rabbit or a fox.
Speaker 10: There were a couple of animals out there, but I
Speaker 10: know I brought them close to them. They'd looked at
Speaker 10: him initially, like I said, and from there I tried
Speaker 10: to follow up and it kind of just it just
Speaker 10: went away.
Speaker 1: And that's that's two guys sounded like they had a
Speaker 1: really good chance to get involved with something. But would
Speaker 1: you be able to share maybe some of the experiences
Speaker 1: that you've had on your property seeing them or yeah?
Speaker 5: Absolutely?
Speaker 10: I mean, is is there anything I mean, to be honest,
Speaker 10: I don't want to take too much of your time,
Speaker 10: but I mean, what encounters in particular, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, so it sounds like you've got a lot going on.
Speaker 1: Have you had actual visual sightings or up close things happen.
Speaker 10: Oh absolutely so. Like I said, I had about forty
Speaker 10: acres and it's expanded a bit. But I've been out
Speaker 10: there a couple of times, and I remember one night
Speaker 10: in particular, I mean, my woman my wife were out
Speaker 10: there and we'd seen this large I don't wost see crazure,
Speaker 10: but you know, something coming at us and it almost
Speaker 10: looked like, you know, a moose or something very large
Speaker 10: in size, but it was standing up. I wanted to
Speaker 10: check it out because my wife was very scared, and
Speaker 10: when I approached it, it came it felt like it
Speaker 10: came towards me for a minute, and then it kind
Speaker 10: of just backed off and vanished, and we further looked
Speaker 10: into it, you know, a couple hours later, and we've
Speaker 10: seen some tracks out there in the woods.
Speaker 5: Another time, when my father was.
Speaker 10: Over, we'd been cooking and we seen something again in
Speaker 10: the woods. Was that came on to the open field
Speaker 10: on the property, and like I said, you know, i'd
Speaker 10: invited them, you know, individuals from the University of Texas
Speaker 10: down there. They were actually doing some sort of a
Speaker 10: scholarly investigation, and nothing has just come of it. I
Speaker 10: showed them some footprints some of the animals. In particular,
Speaker 10: I've been out there hunting and I'd seen some animals
Speaker 10: that had passed away, and it wasn't no normal animal.
Speaker 5: But you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, has it ever gotten to the point where
Speaker 1: you have felt you felt threatened in any way or
Speaker 1: has it been a peaceful back and forth?
Speaker 10: I mean, trust me, my wife's felt scared a number
Speaker 10: of times, you know, But I've always wanted to go investigate.
Speaker 5: You know, I don't think it would hurt me.
Speaker 10: I mean then again, and I always been armed, but
Speaker 10: at the same time, unfortunately I never got too close,
Speaker 10: you know. I mean I think one time in particular,
Speaker 10: I'd got about maybe twenty thirty feet from the thing,
Speaker 10: and you know, I felt like we looked at each
Speaker 10: other and that was about it. But you know, never
Speaker 10: felt like a direct threat, like they were going to
Speaker 10: come do something bad to us.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, So, based on what you've seen on your property,
Speaker 1: how would you how would you explain what you saw
Speaker 1: or what is is bigfoot more of maybe something that's
Speaker 1: ape like or human like or.
Speaker 10: I mean, man, it's supernatural. Man, It's all I could say.
Speaker 10: It's almost like ghosts in the woods. You know, it
Speaker 10: ain't no ghost, but it's almost. It's just like a
Speaker 10: supernatural thing. You know, come at it. It just wants
Speaker 10: to take away. It must go away. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 10: it's hard to describe. I mean, it's there. I ain't
Speaker 10: seeing things. I ain't no ghost believer, you know what
Speaker 10: I mean. I ain't believing in gath and spirits. But no,
Speaker 10: I've seen this thing. I've seen them multiple times, and
Speaker 10: I've seen the animals that's killed. And I've brought the
Speaker 10: research out there and you know what I've I've submitted
Speaker 10: my evidence to you know, you know, the University of Texas,
Speaker 10: and you know it's you know, I don't know what
Speaker 10: it is, but they just they don't want to investigate.
Speaker 1: Have you ever talked to any big foot researchers directly
Speaker 1: about it?
Speaker 10: To be honest, this is I've talked to a few,
Speaker 10: but okay, nobody, nobody really wants I mean, yeah, I'll
Speaker 10: leave it at that.
Speaker 1: I got you. Yeah, no, I totally get it. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's that's interesting because it sounds like you've got some
Speaker 1: cool stuff going on.
Speaker 5: I would certainly welcome you down if you want to.
Speaker 10: You want to give me a message, I would certainly
Speaker 10: invite you and anybody else here down to the property.
Speaker 1: And it feels like you have and I appreciate that invitation.
Speaker 1: Thank you. It feels like you have maybe some more
Speaker 1: stuff to share as well than we have time for.

Speaker 3: Hey?
Speaker 1: Hey? Are you coming up to share bigfoit experience you've had?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, yes, okay, cool.
Speaker 7: So people think I'm crazy. I'm a hairdresser. I've told
Speaker 7: the story so many times night. But I was twenty
Speaker 7: one and I'm now forty seven. So where does that
Speaker 7: take us to the year two thousand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 7: I was living in Washington State.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 7: It was a Wednesday night, early Thursday morning, right before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 7: You know when everybody goes out on a Wednesday night. Yep,
Speaker 7: and my girlfriend and I were talking about she's Native
Speaker 7: American and her she had a baby born that died,
Speaker 7: and she's like, you know what, I really want to
Speaker 7: go see the grave. And we're at this diner. We've
Speaker 7: been drinking all night and I know this sounds so terrible,
Speaker 7: right Like Anyway, we sober up, we eat breakfast really
Speaker 7: early in the morning, and we're driving. But we didn't
Speaker 7: ask her tribe for permission to be on tribal land,
Speaker 7: nor did we ask to go to the graveyard or
Speaker 7: anything like that. But we're talking about how clear it
Speaker 7: was at night and how clear, like you could see
Speaker 7: every detail in the trees, everything, And we're wide awake
Speaker 7: at this point, and we decide that we're not going
Speaker 7: to go to the graveyard. We're going to take the
Speaker 7: first morning ferry back to like a hotel, and then
Speaker 7: go to the graveyard in the morning when there's light out,
Speaker 7: and we'll you know, go from there. So right as
Speaker 7: the water met the land, she's driving a truck and
Speaker 7: I'm in the passenger seat and I'm looking out her
Speaker 7: window and I go Crystal drive and I put my
Speaker 7: hand on her knee and I pushed so she'd hit
Speaker 7: the gas because standing on the side of the road,
Speaker 7: I kid you not had to have been bigfoot. It
Speaker 7: just had to have been not at least nine feet tall. Harry,
Speaker 7: we didn't hear a sound, but you could see. You
Speaker 7: could see the details in his fur, you could see
Speaker 7: his eyes, you could see everything. And that's before Google.
Speaker 7: That's before you know, you could just pull up pictures
Speaker 7: on the Internet of what people see. And She's like,
Speaker 7: was that Bigfoot? I said, I didn't want to say
Speaker 7: that because I don't want you to think I'm crazy.
Speaker 7: And nah, she goes, well, we can't tell anyone we
Speaker 7: were here in my tribe if you see bigfoot. We've
Speaker 7: got to do this, this, this, and this, and you
Speaker 7: know I'm not supposed to be here. We just got
Speaker 7: to go home. So anyway, I have looked at pictures
Speaker 7: of bears standing up, I have looked at pictures of
Speaker 7: cougars standing on their hind legs. I have looked at
Speaker 7: pictures of every wild animal I can think of that
Speaker 7: would live in the forests of Washington State, and nothing
Speaker 7: looks like what we saw. And the weird thing is
Speaker 7: is the next day, on that same ferry road, waiting
Speaker 7: for the first morning, Faery, which is what we were
Speaker 7: trying to catch. Her uncle, had a massive heart attack
Speaker 7: with unexplained prints on his window. Whoa, we never We
Speaker 7: never told her tribe, so she never told. Oh man,
Speaker 7: isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1: That's really really intense.
Speaker 7: When I went home for my twenty eighth year reunion,
Speaker 7: I ran into her and I'm like, did you ever
Speaker 7: tell anybody? Goes hell, No, I never told anybody. She's like, serry,
Speaker 7: my tribe takes that very seriously, and.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my goodness, that's that's really really intense.
Speaker 1: I know you're just saying Washington. I almost want to
Speaker 1: guess where it is, but I understand if we want
Speaker 1: to keep it at Washington, that's cool too.
Speaker 7: Well, so we are from Spokane, okay, and I just
Speaker 7: remember it being the Keller Ferry Road. I don't remember
Speaker 7: what tribal land that was on.
Speaker 1: Oh so it was over by Spokane. You're saying, yes,
Speaker 1: oh wow, I was way off. I was guessing lummy reservation.
Speaker 1: Well that's cool. Nice.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I'm a pretty normal, sane person. I feel
Speaker 7: like I could pass a lie detective test, Like, I
Speaker 7: know what I saw was not anything that is quote
Speaker 7: unquote normal. I know what I saw was very unique.
Speaker 7: It still makes my heart beat really fast when I
Speaker 7: talk about it, like, yeah, he could have jumped in
Speaker 7: the back of our truck.
Speaker 1: Yeah he could have done I mean way worse than that, absolutely, right,
Speaker 1: Do you remember any details about what you saw? Specifically,
Speaker 1: were you able to look at the face see anything there?
Speaker 7: So I would say I'm not an artist, right, but
Speaker 7: like I would say, his dimensions were similar to like
Speaker 7: you know when you see pictures of humans that are
Speaker 7: giants so proportionate, Like his head wasn't too big for
Speaker 7: his body, but he had to have been at least
Speaker 7: nine feet tall, at least, I'm sure, well for dark fur,
Speaker 7: not light. There was no light patches of fur anywhere.
Speaker 7: His eyes were spaced like what you see pictures of bigfoot,
Speaker 7: like almost almost like human spacing. But he was just bigger.
Speaker 7: He was just bigger. And she and I talked about it.
Speaker 7: I was like, you know, is it possible that someone
Speaker 7: in tribal Land is like dressing up to scare people off?
Speaker 7: Is it possible?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 7: And she goes, Sherry, that was not a person, That
Speaker 7: was not a person. That was not a person. And
Speaker 7: I knew it, you know, but you don't like to
Speaker 7: believe that you're seeing something that most people don't see
Speaker 7: you know, people look at you like you're crazy.
Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely, yeah, I'm going to guess I was. Probably.
Speaker 1: I wonder if there is a Spokane reservation. I think
Speaker 1: that's the closest.
Speaker 7: Probably probably.
Speaker 1: How do you remember how long the fur or the
Speaker 1: hair was.
Speaker 7: So I'm a hairdresser, I would say I would say
Speaker 7: the hair was probably three to four inch long. Okay,
Speaker 7: because in the night, like we could see details in
Speaker 7: the branches. If I was an artist, I could draw it,
Speaker 7: but I'm not an artist. Half of his fur looked
Speaker 7: wet like he'd been in the water, you know, from
Speaker 7: about his upper thighs down. Okay, it was kind of
Speaker 7: dripping with water. I mean it was seriously right where
Speaker 7: the water met the land. It's right where he was standing.
Speaker 7: I didn't see his feet because we were in a truck,
Speaker 7: but like, no hunchback or anything like that. Broad shoulders,
Speaker 7: long arms, proportionate hands. He looked like he had five
Speaker 7: fingers like. I didn't see him wave or anything. I
Speaker 7: just all I saw him do is turn his head
Speaker 7: as we drove by. He was just standing there and
Speaker 7: turned his head as we drove by.
Speaker 1: When he did that, did he have to turn the
Speaker 1: upper part of his body or just his head, just
Speaker 1: his head. That's very interesting.
Speaker 7: Okay, just his head, Okay, no other part of his
Speaker 7: body moved, just his head. And like the picture the
Speaker 7: picture you have up right now, he had more of
Speaker 7: a neck than the picture that you have up. He
Speaker 7: had more of a neck. Like, I don't really see
Speaker 7: that guy's neck in your picture that you have up.
Speaker 1: Did you see the nose at all?
Speaker 7: I saw the nose. Let me think about the detail
Speaker 7: his nose. It almost looks shiny, but I don't know
Speaker 7: if it's because it was wet or if it was hairless.
Speaker 7: I'm not sure. Like if he'd been eating something, does
Speaker 7: that make sense?
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 7: But like his eyes were bright.
Speaker 1: What color are they?
Speaker 7: I didn't really see a color because again it was
Speaker 7: it was it was dark, but you could see detail,
Speaker 7: you know how you can see like a cat's eye
Speaker 7: at night and it's reflective. They were big enough that
Speaker 7: you could see, you know, that glow. So I imagine
Speaker 7: he has pupils like we do.
Speaker 1: Some people say that, some people don't. It's really interesting.
Speaker 1: Did you notice any ears? Okay, sorry sorry, did you
Speaker 1: see any ears at all?
Speaker 7: Absolutely? He was he was he was almost human like,
Speaker 7: that's the thing. But he was so big, there's no
Speaker 7: way it could have been a human. He was like
Speaker 7: a big, very naked giant, but human like. It's such
Speaker 7: an Yeah, I would say, I would say I would
Speaker 7: say that we definitely saw ears, Okay, like they weren't
Speaker 7: covered in wooly hair or anything like that, because he
Speaker 7: had he had a prominent neck. I watched it turn
Speaker 7: when he looked at us in the truck.
Speaker 1: How about this, How how long down its side did
Speaker 1: its arm and go?
Speaker 7: Uh huh? His fingertips look like they went past his
Speaker 7: mid thigh.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is word man. This is really interesting because
Speaker 1: in some ways it matches up, but in some ways
Speaker 1: it's very unique, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: Well, it was a very unique experience.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I'm just I'm just thinking out loud because
Speaker 1: I I've talked to hundreds and hundreds of people over
Speaker 1: the last few years. But yeah, this is super unique.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for sharing it. I really appreciate
Speaker 1: you coming up and sharing it.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So, like, I've talked to some people and they think
Speaker 7: that Bigfoot could be like a time traveler, different portals, YadA, YadA, YadA,
Speaker 7: so maybe maybe he likes that area right at Thanksgiving time.
Speaker 7: Maybe you could find something there right around Thanksgiving. Maybe
Speaker 7: there's something aligned with the stars or you know what
Speaker 7: I mean.
Speaker 1: Possibility also being around an Indian reservation. I've talked to
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of Native Americans about how
Speaker 1: they'll have tons of encounters, especially when they're doing certain ceremonies,
Speaker 1: which is definitely really really interesting. Yeah, they will show up.
Speaker 1: So but I appreciate you coming up. Is this conversation
Speaker 1: one that I can use on my big Foot podcast
Speaker 1: that I have?
Speaker 7: Absolutely it's fine.

Speaker 7: Hi?
Speaker 9: Good?
Speaker 1: How are you good?
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 1: So you have some some weird stuff that's been going
Speaker 1: on in the woods to share?
Speaker 11: Yeah, so I just noticed that, Like you didn't have
Speaker 11: anybody else with any bigfoot stories, but I do have.
Speaker 11: Like I think it was like twenty three I went
Speaker 11: to go to stay in a yoga school for a
Speaker 11: month up in western Massachusetts, like out in the middle
Speaker 11: of the woods. Oh wow, I've periodically, like throughout my life,
Speaker 11: just go to stay at like these places out in
Speaker 11: the middle of nowhere like that kind of all over
Speaker 11: the United States, just like get away like retreats, and
Speaker 11: so this particular one was like a yoga teacher training
Speaker 11: and so it was I was out there, and it
Speaker 11: was the building itself was I think it was at
Speaker 11: one person a person was building like their their summer
Speaker 11: house there. Then they died, they left it to the church.
Speaker 11: The church turned it into a monastery, and then the
Speaker 11: monastery it's got sold to be the yoga school. So
Speaker 11: it got converted a third time. And I'm surely it
Speaker 11: was probably Native American land of course, way before all
Speaker 11: of that. So the land that it was on, and
Speaker 11: the school itself was up on high up on a
Speaker 11: mountain or hill or whatever, and it overlooked the forest
Speaker 11: and it overlooked a lake, and it was just really beautiful,
Speaker 11: really majestic school I stayed at. I didn't even know
Speaker 11: what it was going to look like when I got there.
Speaker 11: It was just like my mind was like blown, you know,
Speaker 11: when I arrived. So on the seventh day I was there,
Speaker 11: I went hiking because we had like one day off
Speaker 11: from our training. So I said, okay, I'm going to
Speaker 11: go hiking, and so I just went by myself. But
Speaker 11: everybody was like, oh, well, just be careful for the
Speaker 11: bears and this and that, because we were really deep.
Speaker 11: We were really deep out in the forest. And I
Speaker 11: was like, yeah, yeah, whatever. So I went hiking down
Speaker 11: the hill and I was I went through a little
Speaker 11: trail through the woods and it's like going towards the lake,
Speaker 11: and I just started to kind of go into a
Speaker 11: like almost I felt like a trance like state, and
Speaker 11: I was just by myself, and it just felt as
Speaker 11: though something was trying to communicate to me, whether it's ancestors,
Speaker 11: Native Americans, Bigfoot. Basically, I was already in a susceptible
Speaker 11: state because I was meditating for like a week straight.
Speaker 11: So I was in a, i guess, an altered state.
Speaker 11: And so I'm out in the woods by myself, in
Speaker 11: an altered state through through meditation, not through.
Speaker 7: Any type of drugs, you know, right, And.
Speaker 11: I felt as though I became sort of a trans medium,
Speaker 11: you know, in the woods, and I received like I
Speaker 11: felt as though I was telepathically communicating to some beings
Speaker 11: I don't know, aliens, ancestors whatever, you know, and they
Speaker 11: were saying basically like this is fake, like the building,
Speaker 11: everything is fake, like your identity everything, you know. It's
Speaker 11: just the only thing that's real is nature and the earth,
Speaker 11: and like protecting the earth is like what I felt.
Speaker 11: I received that information, you know, while I was in
Speaker 11: the you know, so it was just it was very weird.
Speaker 11: I went into this trance. I did like this, these
Speaker 11: weird movements that I never did before, almost like a dance,
Speaker 11: and I don't know, it was just a really interesting experience.
Speaker 11: It was very it was very profound. It was a
Speaker 11: very like profound experience that I had.
Speaker 5: And you know, I don't I.
Speaker 11: Can't really explain, but I felt like there was beings
Speaker 11: there with me, but I didn't like I couldn't see them,
Speaker 11: but I felt as though I was communicating to something.
Speaker 1: I have a good idea of the area that you're
Speaker 1: talking about, and if I'm right, that area or region
Speaker 1: is super super active.
Speaker 11: Yes, it was like Lenox, Massachusetts, Massachusetts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking like Stockbridge, great Bearrington area.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it was like by it's not far from Stockbridge.
Speaker 11: I was like play about a mile from Stockbridge, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much all over that area. October Mountain.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, I've stayed in October Mountain. I have a
Speaker 11: friend that has a house there, so yeah, I've stay. Yeah,
Speaker 11: he's they've seen people that just goes just walking through
Speaker 11: the woods there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a ton of bigfoot activity on October Mountain.
Speaker 1: And also if you go further south to Mount Washington,
Speaker 1: there's a lot tearing hands, Great Barrington, all that whole
Speaker 1: corner of the state is wild for bigfoot stuff.
Speaker 7: I didn't know it was so wild.
Speaker 11: I like just went there thinking I was just going
Speaker 11: there for a yoga thing, and like I thought Massachusetts
Speaker 11: was like more like Boston, like was more built up.
Speaker 11: So I actually didn't even know that when I went there,
Speaker 11: and then I just kind of had this whole experience.
Speaker 11: I was like, whoa, this place is like intense, you know.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you just kind of fell into it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the whole Berkshire area is wild. Well, I appreciate you
Speaker 1: coming up and for chatting a little bit. It's good.
Speaker 7: Yeah too.
