Speaker 1: Hey, you there, thanks for tuning in. You're ready for
Speaker 1: another episode of My big Foot Sighting. All right, then
Speaker 1: let's do this.
Speaker 2: Seen a bunch of rundown no horse towns where the
Speaker 2: church at the backbone, laws and the bow and the
Speaker 2: fasting melodies cove in with the bomb man rose with
Speaker 2: the roofs run deep beyond the nose of the.
Speaker 1: Busy streets, with the songs.
Speaker 2: Of the South of su Then when I hear the
Speaker 2: promp porch picking down home rhythm bringing out I Don't
Speaker 2: Run from Banjung music.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you've had a Bigfoot sighting and would like
Speaker 3: to be a guest, please go to my Bigfoot Sighting
Speaker 3: dot com and let me know.
Speaker 1: My big siding happened in nineteen eighty. It was the
Speaker 1: first time that I was exposed to something that I
Speaker 1: thought was a myth. My high school time in Kentucky,
Speaker 1: I spent in ROTC program and there were three of
Speaker 1: my buddies who went camping with me on top of
Speaker 1: the ridge out behind my house in Greenup County, Kentucky.
Speaker 1: About three o'clock in the morning, the rain started and
Speaker 1: it kind of washed us out. So as young high
Speaker 1: school kids, we packed up and started walking back through
Speaker 1: the timber road that was all grass at the time.
Speaker 1: It was about knee high, I would say. And we
Speaker 1: had just started out, and we noticed every time that
Speaker 1: we would take a step, it was something to our right.
Speaker 1: It was out of our view with a flashlight, and
Speaker 1: it was in the woods, but it was paralleling us
Speaker 1: through the woods. As we walked. This thing would walk.
Speaker 1: We would take a couple of steps and you could
Speaker 1: feel the ground move. You could hear the thud of
Speaker 1: the foot of the footsteps on the ground. So we
Speaker 1: would stop and then we could hear this thing take
Speaker 1: a couple of steps before it stopped. Then we looked
Speaker 1: at each other. We started walking again, and it began
Speaker 1: to walk as well, still paralleling us in the woods.
Speaker 1: We stopped, and then it would take a couple of
Speaker 1: steps and stop, and like I said, even out of
Speaker 1: our view, you could still feel and you could actually
Speaker 1: feel the ground as if you were standing next to
Speaker 1: a walking elephant or something like that. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the best that I can describe from my personal view
Speaker 1: with this. At that point, it was the time that
Speaker 1: we all just looked at each other and said we
Speaker 1: need to run. So we took off running on the
Speaker 1: grass road. And as soon as we took off, this
Speaker 1: thing kept paralleling us in the woods. But this time
Speaker 1: it was moving fast. Not only was it moving fast,
Speaker 1: you could hear it, and then it started snapping trees.
Speaker 1: It was just like getting stuff out of its way.
Speaker 1: And you talk about young kid's panticin here. It is dark.
Speaker 1: We're trying to run with flashlights in the rain, in
Speaker 1: the middle of the woods, and I'm about a mile
Speaker 1: from our house, or from my house where I lived,
Speaker 1: and we just took off. It was just like we
Speaker 1: knew we had to make it to my house. We
Speaker 1: finally made it to my house and we came in.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like three point fifteen, three thirty in
Speaker 1: the morning by now, and my parents get up, and
Speaker 1: you know, we're soaking wet. So my friends are like
Speaker 1: getting towels and they come in the living room and
Speaker 1: they start crashing on the couch and I get dried off,
Speaker 1: and I go into my bedroom and I sit down
Speaker 1: on my bed, and five feet away from me is
Speaker 1: the window to my bedroom. And I sat down on
Speaker 1: the bed just thinking of what I just went through
Speaker 1: trying to run from this thing, and I look up
Speaker 1: on the window. And it was the largest hand I've
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life. Dark color, like either a
Speaker 1: dark brown or a black color, palm of a hand
Speaker 1: and guesstimating distance a foot wide at the palm from
Speaker 1: like little finger to thumbside about a foot wide. The
Speaker 1: interesting thing is that you could I could see the
Speaker 1: hair draping off this arm, and it was the best
Speaker 1: I can describe it, as if somebody had like a
Speaker 1: choir robe on, and if you stick your hand out,
Speaker 1: the choir robe drapes off the end of your hand.
Speaker 1: But it was it was hair, and it was it
Speaker 1: was that long and men A froze. Not only did
Speaker 1: I just get chased through the woods by something that
Speaker 1: was really big that we couldn't see, but now I
Speaker 1: can see what it is. And then setting there looking
Speaker 1: at this it lasts like five seconds, and is that
Speaker 1: as if it knew that I was there looking at it,
Speaker 1: And then it just pulled its hand back off the window.
Speaker 1: I couldn't move. I mean, I literally froze. That was
Speaker 1: my first interaction hearing it, hearing it trail us in
Speaker 1: the woods, knowing that it's just followed us to my
Speaker 1: house about a mile away. And now it shows up
Speaker 1: outside my house and it's outside my bedroom window, and
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there just in shock and froze, and I
Speaker 1: get up and I walk into the living room and
Speaker 1: I'm like, you will not believe what just happened outside
Speaker 1: the window. And I tell my buddies the story, and
Speaker 1: I tell my mom and dad the story. And that
Speaker 1: was my first interaction with a bigfoot. There's no other
Speaker 1: there's no other way to describe it as anything else.
Speaker 1: And since that time, my freshman year in high school,
Speaker 1: I've basically been obsessed with asking everybody around here if
Speaker 1: they've ever had interactions, And you would not believe the
Speaker 1: amount of interactions with people in Greenup County having sightings
Speaker 1: of bigfoot. And then eventually you've catch something else. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: it's like a bigfoot, but it had pointy years and
Speaker 1: a long snout and the tail, and it's like, wow,
Speaker 1: we have those here too. So yeah, that's my first
Speaker 1: interaction with a bigfoot. I'd like to say that my
Speaker 1: name is Doug Messer. I live in Greenup County, Kentucky,
Speaker 1: on the city limit of Flatwoods, Kentucky, and nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: was the first the first time I was exposed to
Speaker 1: this and didn't have another interaction until much later. And
Speaker 1: I have a sister who's ten years younger than me.
Speaker 1: At high school, when I graduated, I went straight into
Speaker 1: the military. And when I came back from the military,
Speaker 1: I was in a conversation with somebody and my younger
Speaker 1: sister was there, and she made a comment about her
Speaker 1: interaction with a bigfoot, and I just kind of looked
Speaker 1: at her because I've never told my sister anything about this.
Speaker 1: And she said that when she was a kid, when
Speaker 1: I was gone, because she was like eight or nine
Speaker 1: years old, because I was already gone out of the house,
Speaker 1: that her and her friends in the neighborhood would play
Speaker 1: spotlight tag. Wells where we live is really close to
Speaker 1: the tree line for the county, outside the city limits,
Speaker 1: because we lived on a dead end street. Then she
Speaker 1: proceeded to tell me, She's like, we were playing spotlight
Speaker 1: tag and we were up here on the hill and
Speaker 1: we were hiding crowds down and somebody behind us up
Speaker 1: on the hill a little ways started throwing rocks, small
Speaker 1: rocks or small pieces of wood, and we're like, who
Speaker 1: was that? You know, who's playing spotlight tag? That's up
Speaker 1: on the hill farther than us. That's throwing stuff at us.
Speaker 1: She said. I was sitting there, and she said I
Speaker 1: had enough because people were starting to get like tagged
Speaker 1: with like little pebbles and rocks. It didn't hurt, but
Speaker 1: it was just annoying. She said. I stood up and
Speaker 1: turned around, and I'm like, would you please stop throwing rocks?
Speaker 1: And she said that's when I saw it. It was
Speaker 1: about twenty five or thirty feet away, and when it
Speaker 1: stood up, she said, it was the size of like
Speaker 1: a four by eight sheet of plywood. She was just
Speaker 1: like it was wide and tall and solid black. She said,
Speaker 1: when I stood when I turned turned around, or when
Speaker 1: it stood up. After I turned around, all the other
Speaker 1: kids stood up and turned around, and then we all ran.
Speaker 1: We ran back to the house, and that was the
Speaker 1: last time that we ever played spotlight tag in the
Speaker 1: woods beside the house. Now, you have to remember, I
Speaker 1: didn't know anything about this for the longest time. So
Speaker 1: when I came back out of the military, I came
Speaker 1: back to that to this same exact house that I
Speaker 1: grew up in. Both of my parents had passed away,
Speaker 1: and I got this house back and a neighbor saw
Speaker 1: me out in the yard and yelled at me, and
Speaker 1: he called me by my dad's name because we look
Speaker 1: we look alike. So this guy who lived two properties
Speaker 1: over from me, that actually lives in the exact same
Speaker 1: place that my sister had her citing an interaction, started
Speaker 1: talking with me, and I'm like, hey, man, i've been
Speaker 1: you know, I've been gone for twenty years. What's the
Speaker 1: craziest thing that you've had happen around here since since
Speaker 1: I've been gone? He said, if I tell you that story,
Speaker 1: you won't believe me. And I'm like, well, try me,
Speaker 1: because I've gathered some very interesting stories over the year.
Speaker 1: And after my first interaction, he proceeds to tell me
Speaker 1: that he had he and his wife had horses and
Speaker 1: they were in the woods fenced him in the woods
Speaker 1: behind the house. He said, I was here and my
Speaker 1: horse was on top of the hill and it was
Speaker 1: going crazy, just yelling. You know, I'm not yelling, but
Speaker 1: naying and just being loud, and something was going on,
Speaker 1: he said, and then all of a sudden it quit.
Speaker 1: He said, I had to I had a feeling, man,
Speaker 1: I needed to go check on my horse. It's what
Speaker 1: I got in my side beside or atv that he
Speaker 1: had at the time, and he goes up on the
Speaker 1: on top of the hill, which is the ridge, the
Speaker 1: same ridge. He said, Doug, I'm not lying to you
Speaker 1: when I tell you that when I get past a cemetery,
Speaker 1: that's another interesting thing. There's a cemetery up there, he said.
Speaker 1: When I got past a cemetery to where my horse
Speaker 1: was on the other side of the fence, he said,
Speaker 1: I looked up and the rear legs of my horse
Speaker 1: was like three feet off the ground. Something had picked
Speaker 1: my horse up put the front legs through the fork
Speaker 1: of a tree. He said. The only thing I can
Speaker 1: think of is this horse was trying to struggle and
Speaker 1: get out, and it beat its head on the tree
Speaker 1: and may have accidentally, you know, ended itself that way,
Speaker 1: or something else did, he said. But I was outside
Speaker 1: the entire time this was going on, because this horse
Speaker 1: was just giving up, you know, making making a lot
Speaker 1: of noise, and then all of a sudden it was quiet,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I mean, I'm just sitting there soaking
Speaker 1: this in. And he's looking at me, like trying to
Speaker 1: see my reaction, and he's like, what do you believe me,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, I tell you about my story.
Speaker 1: And then I proceeded to tell him my story from
Speaker 1: the same location. Now we actually ran through this property.
Speaker 1: On our interaction, He's like, I kid you not. He said,
Speaker 1: I had to go rent a tractor or borrow a
Speaker 1: tractor from somebody to get my horse out of this tree.
Speaker 1: He said. I have no explanation of how that horse
Speaker 1: got there, he said, but it was very disturbing. So
Speaker 1: we had a slight conversation, you know, just to catch up.
Speaker 1: But that's how the conversation started. And believe me, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm beyond doing small talk with things. When I when
Speaker 1: you get a trigger word or in a conversation that
Speaker 1: somebody says something is like, oh yeah, well, let me
Speaker 1: ask you a question. Have you ever had you ever
Speaker 1: seen or heard anything that you can't explain in the woods.
Speaker 1: And that's what opens up the conversation for these people
Speaker 1: to start telling, you know, telling things that have happened
Speaker 1: or things that they can't explain. So the interesting thing
Speaker 1: is on the other side of this ridge, which is
Speaker 1: about two and a half miles away, there's another road.
Speaker 1: I didn't know this that my sister told me later
Speaker 1: that the people over there had goats. They heard their
Speaker 1: goats making a bunch of noise, and they went They
Speaker 1: went out and found their goats with their front legs broken.
Speaker 1: They weren't dead, but their front legs were broken, just
Speaker 1: like laying on the ground struggling. Which is interesting because
Speaker 1: that leads into other stories that I've been told by
Speaker 1: hunters who they have found deer with their legs snapped
Speaker 1: in half so they couldn't run. It's like, I really
Speaker 1: don't want to eat you right now, but I'll come
Speaker 1: back and get you when I when I need to.
Speaker 1: That's the first thing that pops into my head. So
Speaker 1: all of these stories that I'm telling you right now
Speaker 1: are all on one piece of property, or parallel or
Speaker 1: intersect or connected to the proximity of this one piece
Speaker 1: of property. I don't know how long, but there are
Speaker 1: stories has been going on. I just know that my
Speaker 1: story started in nineteen eighty. But I catch all these
Speaker 1: stories from my neighbors that live around me, and that's
Speaker 1: the first time that they've spoken about it. Last summer,
Speaker 1: driving on the access road to come on the other
Speaker 1: side of the ridge where I'm at is a farm
Speaker 1: where they're building a pole barn and these guys are
Speaker 1: out there putting it up and I'm talking with them
Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, this is my grandfather's farm. He's
Speaker 1: been here forever. I'm like, okay, man, I got to
Speaker 1: ask do you hunt? And he's like, yeah, I've found
Speaker 1: this property all my life. And I'm like, have you
Speaker 1: heard or seen anything that you can't explain? He's like like,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about. I'm like, just anything, Like
Speaker 1: you need to talk to my grandfather because he swears
Speaker 1: he had a bigfoot interaction in the eighties. So it
Speaker 1: kind of matches like time frame of all this stuff
Speaker 1: that was going on, and it's in like a two
Speaker 1: mile I would say, like a two mile radius. Now
Speaker 1: we are very populated. I say very populated for a
Speaker 1: rural community. I mean we have ten thousand people in
Speaker 1: town and there's other small pockets of towns all around us.
Speaker 1: So there's not like large, vast quantities of wilderness. But man,
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of stuff that goes on here. I
Speaker 1: have one lady that I went to church with. I
Speaker 1: still get a church with her. She's still a friend
Speaker 1: of mine. But we were in a casual conversation with
Speaker 1: somebody else and I told my story and she's like,
Speaker 1: you don't actually believe in that, right. I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't judge. I don't judge people for
Speaker 1: what they believe in, but you know, and she laughed
Speaker 1: at me and she said, well, that's really interesting that
Speaker 1: you had that interaction. Now, not knowing but she took
Speaker 1: her grandson with her to Grayson Lake, which is Carter County,
Speaker 1: which is the next county, Ober and they went on
Speaker 1: a hiking trail. Needless to say, I get this phone
Speaker 1: call around Sunday at five o'clock from the same lady
Speaker 1: who is panicking on the phone, and the only words
Speaker 1: that she could say was I believe you. I believe you.
Speaker 1: I believe you. I believe what you saw and I
Speaker 1: might hold up what are you okay? She said, uh,
Speaker 1: we're finding out. I'm like, what do you mean, I'm
Speaker 1: fine now. She said, we just had an interaction and
Speaker 1: I said okay, and she said, we just saw a
Speaker 1: bigfoot and I'm like what she said, we just saw
Speaker 1: a bigfoot really, And of course I'm like, okay, tell
Speaker 1: me what happened. She says, we parked the car at
Speaker 1: the trailhead at Grayson Lake at the campground, and then
Speaker 1: there's a trail that comes off the campground. She said.
Speaker 1: We start walking. She said. We're probably on the trail
Speaker 1: for about one hundred yards, she said, to my grandson's
Speaker 1: in front of me, and we're walking along, and she said,
Speaker 1: and just out of the blue, I got sick. She said.
Speaker 1: I had a sick feeling in my stomach. She said,
Speaker 1: it was just like it just hit me instantly, and
Speaker 1: I yelled at my grandson to stop. She said. I
Speaker 1: just had a feeling, she said, but mostly it was
Speaker 1: a sick feeling in my gut. It's like it stopped
Speaker 1: me in my tracks. And then I started to feel
Speaker 1: that something was watching me. And then I could feel
Speaker 1: that something was actually watching me, and not very far away.
Speaker 1: She said. I started to panic because my grandson's probably
Speaker 1: twenty five feet thirty feet ahead of her on the trail,
Speaker 1: and she starts scanning around, not moving. She just actually
Speaker 1: just frozen, stopped where she was at. She said. I
Speaker 1: turned to my left real quick, and that's when I
Speaker 1: saw it. And it ran from behind the tree to
Speaker 1: another clump of trees, she said, and it was dark
Speaker 1: color on two legs tall, like eight nine feet tall, maybe,
Speaker 1: She said, I was just sick. When my grandson turned,
Speaker 1: she said, he looked the same direction that I was
Speaker 1: looking at it. He came running to me, and I
Speaker 1: grabbed his hand and we ran back. So you have
Speaker 1: to remember, you know, we're one hundred yards in the
Speaker 1: woods from the car. She said. I didn't look back,
Speaker 1: I didn't do anything. I just held onto his hand
Speaker 1: and ran to the car. She said. The first thing
Speaker 1: when I got to the car is, oh my god.
Speaker 1: I got to call Doug because she had made fun
Speaker 1: of me before before my interaction or my story. So
Speaker 1: now she sends me stuff on you know, on social media.
Speaker 1: We share stories all the time. But you know, it
Speaker 1: took that for her to be a believer. So and
Speaker 1: I can understand when people say, you don't actually believe
Speaker 1: in that stuff, because until you've had an interaction, until
Speaker 1: you've seen one five feet away, or until you've heard
Speaker 1: something or heard it in the woods, or you know,
Speaker 1: had an interaction yourself that you can't explain, and you
Speaker 1: see it and it's like you know in your mind
Speaker 1: what it is, there's no question, but they exist, and
Speaker 1: once you have an interaction it to me, It changed
Speaker 1: me forever. But it also I think it changes everybody's
Speaker 1: perspective on what's real, what's not real, what's there, what's
Speaker 1: still out there? And you know, after that interaction with her,
Speaker 1: it was interesting because she and I has somebody to
Speaker 1: talk to about it. So that was that was three
Speaker 1: stories right there. That's all not too far way. In
Speaker 1: Carter County, which is the next county over, which is
Speaker 1: right close to where Grayson Lake is, there is a
Speaker 1: little town called Gron, Grand Kentucky and Carter County. Man
Speaker 1: an interesting thing. If I don't know if it's still
Speaker 1: up there or not, but if you google Grond, Kentucky
Speaker 1: and bigfoot sidings, you would be amazed. I think I'm
Speaker 1: thinking three four years ago around Christmas. There's a church
Speaker 1: in Gron, which is crazy because now it's for sale,
Speaker 1: so I don't know if people stop going there or what.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but there was a gathering for Christmas
Speaker 1: at this church and these people walk out, they walk
Speaker 1: out of church and walking out together and this thing
Speaker 1: goes running across the field in front of the church. Yes,
Speaker 1: they all described it as the same thing, tall, dark,
Speaker 1: hairy running on two legs across the field in front
Speaker 1: of the church. So you're talking twenty to twenty five
Speaker 1: people I think at the time, had this interaction and
Speaker 1: they all saw it together. So that was an interesting
Speaker 1: situation for people to come out of their church around
Speaker 1: Christmas time to see this thing run across in front
Speaker 1: of the church. But I haven't even checked lately, but
Speaker 1: you if you type in grind Kentucky, I think it's
Speaker 1: g r a h N. I think that's how it's
Speaker 1: spelled in Sint Carter County. I couldn't tell you how
Speaker 1: many bigfoot sidings are report from out there. Just pop
Speaker 1: up and they just pop up. That's that's another one
Speaker 1: in Carter County, not too far away. But man, the
Speaker 1: most one of the most interesting stories that I've ever
Speaker 1: had someone tell me is from a good friend of
Speaker 1: mine who is the pastor of a church. This guy
Speaker 1: I've known for about thirty years. It's interesting because once
Speaker 1: I brought this up in a conversation, it's that it
Speaker 1: was like he finally had somebody to talk to about
Speaker 1: an incidents that happened with him. And you talk about
Speaker 1: something crazy, and when I say crazy, it's one of
Speaker 1: the most intriguing stories that I've ever heard. Do I
Speaker 1: believe him, Oh absolutely. As the reason that he feels
Speaker 1: that he cannot go public with this is because of
Speaker 1: what he does for a living. He's a pastor of
Speaker 1: a church, he said. If I would ever say anything,
Speaker 1: if I would ever tell anybody this story, he said,
Speaker 1: the church would, you know, most likely excommunicate me and
Speaker 1: have me thrown out of the church, and I would
Speaker 1: never be able to preach again, he said. But as
Speaker 1: a kid, I grew up on the river and all
Speaker 1: my friends that lived around me would all hang out
Speaker 1: in the summertime after school was out, and we'd go
Speaker 1: down to the river and play. The river was like
Speaker 1: like a rocky bottom river, not not a deep you know.
Speaker 1: There were some places that it was deep enough to
Speaker 1: swim in, but you could walk across it in some places,
Speaker 1: he said. I think we were about ten years old
Speaker 1: the first time that had happened, he said. We're just
Speaker 1: down there playing in the creeks, he said, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's just like you know, something's there.
Speaker 1: You could sense that something was there. So we all
Speaker 1: looked up on the hillside across the across the creek
Speaker 1: from us, he said, we could see things move, but
Speaker 1: we couldn't get a we couldn't get an actual visual
Speaker 1: lock onto what they were. So we kind of just
Speaker 1: like you know, went back up the hill to the house,
Speaker 1: to his house where he where he lived. The next
Speaker 1: day it was the same thing. And this lasted like
Speaker 1: like four or five days, and then they didn't get
Speaker 1: that feeling anymore, and then it was gone. They never
Speaker 1: they never got that, you know, the rest of the
Speaker 1: rest of the year. The next year, about the same
Speaker 1: time in summer, they're down there playing and now they're
Speaker 1: like eleven years old, they get that same feeling. This
Speaker 1: time they actually can see things moving in the woods,
Speaker 1: and it was just like they thought other people were
Speaker 1: in the woods. So they can see these things moving around,
Speaker 1: but they're not coming any closer. They stay away. And
Speaker 1: like I said, this happens for like four days. They
Speaker 1: come down to the you know, the river to play
Speaker 1: every day and hang out as kids, and these things
Speaker 1: still stay away. After about four days, they're gone, doesn't
Speaker 1: they disappear, They don't come back. The next year, they
Speaker 1: get a little bit closer. The next year, they get
Speaker 1: a little bit closer. He said. By the time that
Speaker 1: I'm like fourteen. We are on one side of the
Speaker 1: other the river bank, and we're sitting there watching these
Speaker 1: things on the other side of the river bank. And
Speaker 1: it's like a family. It's a family, or if you
Speaker 1: call it a troop, I mean or whatever. But as
Speaker 1: they're sitting on their river bank, they're looking across the
Speaker 1: river and like I said, they can they know what
Speaker 1: they are. His description was they were male identified males.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can identify the females the same way.
Speaker 1: But there was like juveniles and small ones, like really young.
Speaker 1: But they stayed on the other side of the river.
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to remember. I think he said it
Speaker 1: was like twenty five thirty feet forty feet across. But
Speaker 1: it's just like you know, there's not definitive sides. It
Speaker 1: wasn't that same measurement all the way across. It just
Speaker 1: depends on how the water flows, he said. So we're
Speaker 1: setting on the side with our feet in the water
Speaker 1: on our side, looking across at these things just coming
Speaker 1: down to get to get water and drinking water, and
Speaker 1: they're walking around and standing on the rock watching over.
Speaker 1: This troop is like the alpha male. You definitely tell
Speaker 1: it was a male. But it's like, if you know
Speaker 1: anything about gorillas, the patriarchal leader is usually a silver back,
Speaker 1: he said. But this was different because it was the
Speaker 1: chest that was lighter color, like a silver silver white,
Speaker 1: and it was like a triangle from from shoulders down
Speaker 1: to its belly button. It was like it almost had
Speaker 1: like a light triangle on the front of it, but
Speaker 1: it was it was really dark. But the triangle on
Speaker 1: the front is not a silver back, but like a
Speaker 1: silver chested, which made it, you know, appeared to the
Speaker 1: kids to be the oldest one in the group. He
Speaker 1: says that this thing was anywhere from nine to ten
Speaker 1: feet tall, and they as kids, they had seen these
Speaker 1: things every you know, every year they would get closer
Speaker 1: and closer, he said, so they knew they existed. So
Speaker 1: they just sat there and watched. And they're around fourteen
Speaker 1: years of age when they're actually sitting on the river
Speaker 1: bank and the troop or this family group was on
Speaker 1: the other side, and for like three or four days,
Speaker 1: they were there every day at the same time in
Speaker 1: the morning, and then they would walk back up in
Speaker 1: the woods and disappear, and they'd be gone for the summer.
Speaker 1: The next year, around the same time. It happened again,
Speaker 1: but this time they decided to get in the water.
Speaker 1: The kids decided to get in the water. And by
Speaker 1: this time they are like fifteen, fifteen, sixteen, somewhere around there.
Speaker 1: So they are sitting in the water and it's you know,
Speaker 1: you're setting down, so the waters like up to your
Speaker 1: belly button or up to your chest in some parts.
Speaker 1: And this troop comes back and it's the same thing.
Speaker 1: The alpha gets on the rock and just keeps an
Speaker 1: eye out on everything, and the rest of the troop
Speaker 1: come down and drink and walk around and interact as
Speaker 1: a group. And he said they started to get in
Speaker 1: the water and they would come out and they would
Speaker 1: look at these he said, they would look at us,
Speaker 1: and they would interact by like splashing water at us.
Speaker 1: But they got to the point the next year it's
Speaker 1: the same thing. It's the same three or four days,
Speaker 1: and they were gone. When he was seventeen. They were
Speaker 1: in the water at the same time, but they were
Speaker 1: they came back the next interaction, and the younger ones
Speaker 1: had seen these kids. The younger ones in this troop
Speaker 1: had seen these you know, these guys. Every year. It
Speaker 1: got to the point that they would come out and
Speaker 1: they would touch them. The little ones would come out,
Speaker 1: they like the adolescent ones would come out. They were
Speaker 1: all they'd play in the water. The littles would play
Speaker 1: in the water around around these guys. And this went
Speaker 1: on for like three or four days, and then they
Speaker 1: didn't come back. In the morning, they were gone again.
Speaker 1: And this is the end of his story right here,
Speaker 1: he said. It was. It was my senior year of
Speaker 1: high school. I was eighteen. We never told anybody about
Speaker 1: this because we didn't know how people would take it,
Speaker 1: he said. But my friends were always there in the summer,
Speaker 1: all the guys that lived close to me. We did
Speaker 1: this every year, and we had our interaction with this
Speaker 1: group of Sasquatches, Bigfoot, Save's or whatever you want to
Speaker 1: call whatever your term for him is, he said. But
Speaker 1: the last time we had ever had interaction with them,
Speaker 1: we went down early every day until they showed up.
Speaker 1: We sat on the other side of the river bank
Speaker 1: this time, he said, and they came down the day
Speaker 1: that they appeared, they came down. They did the same thing,
Speaker 1: he said. But I made the choice to go stand
Speaker 1: on the rock, he said. I was standing on the
Speaker 1: rock when the silver Chest showed up, he said, and
Speaker 1: all my buddies were standing you know, it was sitting
Speaker 1: on the other side of the river with this troop
Speaker 1: and all the young ones are playing around them, and
Speaker 1: they're actually interacting with them, like you know, touching and
Speaker 1: touching each other and you know, doing it, doing interactions
Speaker 1: and touching their hair and everything else. And he said,
Speaker 1: I'm standing on the rock and the Silver Chest gets
Speaker 1: up on the rock with me, and he said, this
Speaker 1: thing was absolutely huge. And for the first time in
Speaker 1: my interactions in like eight years, eight continuous summers of
Speaker 1: going through this, he said, I had a flash and
Speaker 1: it was just like in my brain, I heard this
Speaker 1: thing speak to me, he said, And this was the
Speaker 1: first time this has ever happened. It was like, I'm
Speaker 1: standing there and this thing walks up and looks at me,
Speaker 1: arms linked away, and I get this interaction in my
Speaker 1: or I get this conversation in my head and it says,
Speaker 1: you know, I could eat you and your friends right
Speaker 1: now and nobody would ever find you, he said. And
Speaker 1: that was the point that we left. That was the
Speaker 1: point that I understood. These things are can communicate, They
Speaker 1: are murdering what we thought. These are not what we
Speaker 1: thought they were. And it was that point I kind
Speaker 1: of lowered my head, dropped my drop my gaze to him.
Speaker 1: I backed off the rock. I walked over to my
Speaker 1: buddies and I looked at my buddies and I said,
Speaker 1: we have got to go. We need to leave now.
Speaker 1: And they left. They went across the river and back
Speaker 1: up the hill to the house. They never went back
Speaker 1: after that, So I don't know if this troop comes back,
Speaker 1: migrates shows up, the even go as far as to
Speaker 1: plane shift there or you know. However, you however, you
Speaker 1: believe that they travel or get here or whatever they are,
Speaker 1: because people have different, different beliefs and what they actually are.
Speaker 1: He said, But we never went back. But my friend says,
Speaker 1: I could. I can never tell that story to anybody
Speaker 1: in fear of I feel of losing my job and
Speaker 1: not being able to be a patrior of a church anymore.
Speaker 1: That to me, was one of the most in depth,
Speaker 1: intriguing interactions that I've ever heard in my life. You know,
Speaker 1: you hear stories about hunters that have been abducted or
Speaker 1: kids that have been abducted, you know, and you see
Speaker 1: stories as like I lived with Bigfoot for the summer
Speaker 1: and came back. But I know personally that this happened.
Speaker 1: Why Because I know who this person is. I know
Speaker 1: he would have no reason to lie or even make
Speaker 1: up that story. So yeah, to me, that was one
Speaker 1: of the most interesting stories I've ever had somebody relay
Speaker 1: to me in my forty four year or no, forty
Speaker 1: six years of doing research. Oh by the way, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll be sixty on my birthday. To me, that was
Speaker 1: the most intriguing story. Like I said, now, it's interesting
Speaker 1: that didn't happen here, but that actually happened in West Virginia,
Speaker 1: which is not too far away from where we are.
Speaker 1: So that story really stands out to me above all,
Speaker 1: is one of the most interesting stories I've ever heard
Speaker 1: about Bigfoot because I know the person personally, I said,
Speaker 1: I've known him for thirty years, which leads me to
Speaker 1: another thing that I found out recently in the last
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe five six years. There is a
Speaker 1: thing that most people would know I guess now is
Speaker 1: a was referred to as a dog man. It's very large,
Speaker 1: seven to eight feet tall, with a snout twenty years
Speaker 1: and a tail just like just like a wolf for
Speaker 1: a dog as you know his fourth the name dog Man,
Speaker 1: I guess. But it's interesting because I know personal friends
Speaker 1: that I went to high school with that were younger
Speaker 1: than me that have had interactions with this thing. And
Speaker 1: when I say interactions with this thing, one of my
Speaker 1: buddies just passed away a couple of years ago, which
Speaker 1: is a real, real great guy. But him and three
Speaker 1: of his friends were out playing in the strip mines
Speaker 1: not too far from here, and they saw this thing
Speaker 1: and they thought it was just a big black German
Speaker 1: shepherd dog from what they saw where they could see it,
Speaker 1: that's what they thought it was. And it was like
Speaker 1: it was height like I was trying to hide from them,
Speaker 1: and they're like, man, that's really strange. I've never seen
Speaker 1: a dog like trying to hide from you. So they
Speaker 1: try to get closer to this thing and it stands
Speaker 1: up and what I mean stands up, not on four legs.
Speaker 1: This thing stands up on two legs. And then they
Speaker 1: proceed to take off in their escape attempt, I should say,
Speaker 1: they turn around and this thing is following them. It's
Speaker 1: not trying to gain on them, which it could, but
Speaker 1: it was just it would it would keep up? It
Speaker 1: would it was like trailing them to see where they
Speaker 1: were where they were going. Now, the interesting things about
Speaker 1: this is these kids were high school kids. And where
Speaker 1: we live in Kentucky, you know, if you have property,
Speaker 1: if you live in the woods, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people that carry guns. Well, these guys had a twenty
Speaker 1: two with them and freaked out to the point that
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is, but it's on two
Speaker 1: legs and it's chasing us. When they get close to
Speaker 1: the house, one of the guys and I can't remember
Speaker 1: if it was Nathan or the other guy I can't
Speaker 1: remember who had the gun, turns around and takes a
Speaker 1: shot at this thing. And when they turned and took
Speaker 1: a shot at this thing, then let out a scream
Speaker 1: and a yell. So they turned and go into the
Speaker 1: driver to the house where they were. And this is
Speaker 1: the first time that I'd ever heard this story was
Speaker 1: from my buddy Fred that passed away, and Fred told
Speaker 1: me the other guys that was with him, Nathan, I know,
Speaker 1: and there were two other guys from school that was
Speaker 1: with them. Now Fred and Nathan and I know personally
Speaker 1: because they were friends of mine. So I proceeded to
Speaker 1: go find you get in touch with Nathan and I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: tell me, tell me about your experience. And he looked
Speaker 1: at me and said, how do you know that. I said, well,
Speaker 1: I said one of the guys in your group told
Speaker 1: me that. And he said, man, I don't want to
Speaker 1: talk about it. He said, that was the scariest thing.
Speaker 1: I don't want to even talk about it. I don't
Speaker 1: want to bring it up. So that was not I
Speaker 1: don't know what you're talking about. Was like, I just
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about it. I'm like, okay, he said,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it happened. So I'm at I'm at PT
Speaker 1: at the therapy place in town, and somebody brings you know,
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of people in the room. Somebody brings
Speaker 1: up a conversation about the the werewolf, the werewolf of
Speaker 1: Flat Was and I kind of like, I just sat
Speaker 1: there and look at him. I didn't say anything. And
Speaker 1: they're telling me their interaction. It's like, oh, yeah, we
Speaker 1: were walking up walking up through the woods at the
Speaker 1: strip mines right there, and we we see this thing
Speaker 1: and it's down on them like whether you know where
Speaker 1: they dig out and there's like a quarry and the
Speaker 1: water is down there. He said, we see this thing
Speaker 1: sitting or stooped down by the water, and I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: that's a huge dog. But until it started using this
Speaker 1: Paul like to pull water up to it. It's just
Speaker 1: like dogs don't do that, he said. So we sit
Speaker 1: there and we started watching this thing. He said, this
Speaker 1: we were at We were at a good distance. And
Speaker 1: I can't you know, I can't. I can't remember the
Speaker 1: actual day in time or when this was, when this
Speaker 1: actually happened, but you I'm hearing this story. And then
Speaker 1: in conversation with him, he proceeds to tell me about
Speaker 1: them seeing that, you know, at the at the quarry,
Speaker 1: at the water. He's like, and then we're sitting there
Speaker 1: watching this thing and it just stops and turns his
Speaker 1: head and looks at us. He said. We are, you know,
Speaker 1: one hundred yards away from it, but it just stops
Speaker 1: and looks right at us. And that's when we take
Speaker 1: off running. But in the same location of where all
Speaker 1: this stuff was going on, it's not three miles three
Speaker 1: and a half miles from my house where I live.
Speaker 1: And there's multiple people that have seen this thing too,
Speaker 1: But apparently where they saw this is they had they
Speaker 1: have built a subdivision there now, so it's you know,
Speaker 1: there's not been I have not heard or anybody that
Speaker 1: I know has heard of any kind of sidings around
Speaker 1: there lately or recently. From the quote dog man or
Speaker 1: wear Wolf of flat Woods. But it's really interesting and
Speaker 1: it's funny because we just purchased property thirty five acres,
Speaker 1: which is not very far from there. And I have
Speaker 1: another good friend, a married couple that live off the
Speaker 1: other side of the ridge from where I am, on
Speaker 1: another road out in the county, and they hear whoops,
Speaker 1: they hear knocks, and they've seen both. They've seen bigfoots
Speaker 1: and the dog Man's or the dog man or whatever.
Speaker 1: An interesting thing that they said was they have a
Speaker 1: security camera in the eve of their house, which is like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, fourteen feet off a ground at the
Speaker 1: eve of the house, twelve fourteen feet off a ground.
Speaker 1: They heard sounds outside and they're looking at their security camera.
Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, they see their security camera
Speaker 1: moved at that level on the house that whatever it is,
Speaker 1: grabs a camera and turns the camera toward the house,
Speaker 1: away from the yard. She's like, we're sitting here watching
Speaker 1: it happen, and you know, in real time, knowing that
Speaker 1: something's out there. So yeah, man, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: strange stuff that happens around here. So the one of
Speaker 1: the fast interactions or personal experiences that I have had
Speaker 1: was twenty twenty two. We have had I should say
Speaker 1: not have, but had we had sold twenty acres in
Speaker 1: Carter County. O. Here we go back in Carter County again.
Speaker 1: But at twenty twenty two, I'm helping a neighbor who
Speaker 1: was eighty years old, and we were outside summer and
Speaker 1: he was putting a plastic like a plastic covering on
Speaker 1: top of his deck to keep the rein off. And
Speaker 1: I don't have my phone right on me and we're
Speaker 1: sitting there working. Then all of a sudden, man, you
Speaker 1: could hear this loud, deep howl from out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: When that happened, every dog was this is is kind
Speaker 1: of it's kind of funny, but we live My property
Speaker 1: is on at what we call a holler where we live.
Speaker 1: But every animal that was around there just started going crazy.
Speaker 1: The dogs you could hear down the holler just start
Speaker 1: barking and barking and barking. So I'm scrambling to grab
Speaker 1: my phone and I grabed I grab the camera because
Speaker 1: I know I'm not going to record, but that I
Speaker 1: know I at least get an audio, and I hit
Speaker 1: you know, I hit record, and it's like, you can
Speaker 1: you can hear my you can hear my story that
Speaker 1: it's going on at the time that it's actually happening.
Speaker 1: And I'm at my neighbors Tom and Elsie's, and you
Speaker 1: can hear in the recording birds going off. You can
Speaker 1: hear the dog still barking. But I I wish there
Speaker 1: was a way that I got to caught that first
Speaker 1: howl because it was just ungodly loud and deep. So
Speaker 1: I'm recording and I'm talking of the recording. Well, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm talking while I'm recording, hoping this thing
Speaker 1: will go go again. It's like the one minute forty
Speaker 1: second mark, you could hear this bird that's right overhead,
Speaker 1: just just a big loud squawk. And then right when
Speaker 1: that happens, you can hear this thing. How and I
Speaker 1: caught it, and then I hear another one. It's like
Speaker 1: a reply what it sounds like on the recording that
Speaker 1: I have. It's like a decent sound and then there's
Speaker 1: another one that's quieter, not as loud and not as long.
Speaker 1: But what I actually recorded was one on my side
Speaker 1: of the road, which was up on the hill, and
Speaker 1: then the second one was a response from the other
Speaker 1: ridge to my right across the road from us up
Speaker 1: on the hill. And it's crazy because I actually recorded
Speaker 1: that just out of the blue on a summer day.
Speaker 1: But that was my last personal interaction in Carter County.
Speaker 4: Well that's it for tonight's show. If you've had a
Speaker 4: big Foot siding and would like to be a guest,
