All right, then 3 00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:10.800 let's do this. 4 00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:14.759 Seen a bunch of rundown no horse towns where the 5 00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:19.039 church at the backbone, laws and the bow and the 6 00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:24.480 fasting melodies cove in with the bomb man rose with 7 00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:27.760 the roofs run deep beyond the nose of the. 8 00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:31.320 Busy streets, with the songs. 9 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.719 Of the South of su Then when I hear the 10 00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:38.880 promp porch picking down home rhythm bringing out I Don't 11 00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.000 Run from Banjung music. 12 00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:53.640 Yeah, if you've had a Bigfoot sighting and would like 13 00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.320 to be a guest, please go to my Bigfoot Sighting 14 00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:57.960 dot com and let me know. 15 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.520 My big siding happened in nineteen eighty. It was the 16 00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:09.280 first time that I was exposed to something that I 17 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:15.920 thought was a myth. My high school time in Kentucky, 18 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:22.120 I spent in ROTC program and there were three of 19 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.079 my buddies who went camping with me on top of 20 00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:31.239 the ridge out behind my house in Greenup County, Kentucky. 21 00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:35.719 About three o'clock in the morning, the rain started and 22 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.959 it kind of washed us out. So as young high 23 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:43.319 school kids, we packed up and started walking back through 24 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.200 the timber road that was all grass at the time. 25 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:52.200 It was about knee high, I would say. And we 26 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:57.239 had just started out, and we noticed every time that 27 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.079 we would take a step, it was something to our right. 28 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.799 It was out of our view with a flashlight, and 29 00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.919 it was in the woods, but it was paralleling us 30 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.840 through the woods. As we walked. This thing would walk. 31 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.400 We would take a couple of steps and you could 32 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.360 feel the ground move. You could hear the thud of 33 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.479 the foot of the footsteps on the ground. So we 34 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:28.840 would stop and then we could hear this thing take 35 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:33.479 a couple of steps before it stopped. Then we looked 36 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.159 at each other. We started walking again, and it began 37 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:39.960 to walk as well, still paralleling us in the woods. 38 00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:44.879 We stopped, and then it would take a couple of 39 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.719 steps and stop, and like I said, even out of 40 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:52.039 our view, you could still feel and you could actually 41 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.240 feel the ground as if you were standing next to 42 00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:57.719 a walking elephant or something like that. I mean, that's 43 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:02.439 the best that I can describe from my personal view 44 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:07.520 with this. At that point, it was the time that 45 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.000 we all just looked at each other and said we 46 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.319 need to run. So we took off running on the 47 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:19.560 grass road. And as soon as we took off, this 48 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.639 thing kept paralleling us in the woods. But this time 49 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:26.280 it was moving fast. Not only was it moving fast, 50 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.800 you could hear it, and then it started snapping trees. 51 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.560 It was just like getting stuff out of its way. 52 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:37.199 And you talk about young kid's panticin here. It is dark. 53 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.759 We're trying to run with flashlights in the rain, in 54 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:47.759 the middle of the woods, and I'm about a mile 55 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:53.599 from our house, or from my house where I lived, 56 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.280 and we just took off. It was just like we 57 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.680 knew we had to make it to my house. We 58 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:04.800 finally made it to my house and we came in. 59 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.479 You know, it's like three point fifteen, three thirty in 60 00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.800 the morning by now, and my parents get up, and 61 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:15.560 you know, we're soaking wet. So my friends are like 62 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.560 getting towels and they come in the living room and 63 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.199 they start crashing on the couch and I get dried off, 64 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.879 and I go into my bedroom and I sit down 65 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:30.120 on my bed, and five feet away from me is 66 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.920 the window to my bedroom. And I sat down on 67 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.199 the bed just thinking of what I just went through 68 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:40.240 trying to run from this thing, and I look up 69 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.240 on the window. And it was the largest hand I've 70 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:49.319 ever seen in my life. Dark color, like either a 71 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:54.160 dark brown or a black color, palm of a hand 72 00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:05.680 and guesstimating distance a foot wide at the palm from 73 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:11.399 like little finger to thumbside about a foot wide. The 74 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.560 interesting thing is that you could I could see the 75 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:20.759 hair draping off this arm, and it was the best 76 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.519 I can describe it, as if somebody had like a 77 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:27.439 choir robe on, and if you stick your hand out, 78 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.680 the choir robe drapes off the end of your hand. 79 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.399 But it was it was hair, and it was it 80 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:38.279 was that long and men A froze. Not only did 81 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.040 I just get chased through the woods by something that 82 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.680 was really big that we couldn't see, but now I 83 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:49.680 can see what it is. And then setting there looking 84 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:53.839 at this it lasts like five seconds, and is that 85 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.680 as if it knew that I was there looking at it, 86 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.120 And then it just pulled its hand back off the window. 87 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:08.920 I couldn't move. I mean, I literally froze. That was 88 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:16.480 my first interaction hearing it, hearing it trail us in 89 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.680 the woods, knowing that it's just followed us to my 90 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:26.839 house about a mile away. And now it shows up 91 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:31.319 outside my house and it's outside my bedroom window, and 92 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:41.000 I'm sitting there just in shock and froze, and I 93 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.439 get up and I walk into the living room and 94 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:47.120 I'm like, you will not believe what just happened outside 95 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:50.519 the window. And I tell my buddies the story, and 96 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.279 I tell my mom and dad the story. And that 97 00:06:54.560 --> 00:07:02.000 was my first interaction with a bigfoot. There's no other 98 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:07.360 there's no other way to describe it as anything else. 99 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.360 And since that time, my freshman year in high school, 100 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:20.759 I've basically been obsessed with asking everybody around here if 101 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:26.680 they've ever had interactions, And you would not believe the 102 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:32.439 amount of interactions with people in Greenup County having sightings 103 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:38.839 of bigfoot. And then eventually you've catch something else. It's like, well, 104 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.160 it's like a bigfoot, but it had pointy years and 105 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.079 a long snout and the tail, and it's like, wow, 106 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:49.160 we have those here too. So yeah, that's my first 107 00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:55.680 interaction with a bigfoot. I'd like to say that my 108 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.519 name is Doug Messer. I live in Greenup County, Kentucky, 109 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:07.120 on the city limit of Flatwoods, Kentucky, and nineteen eighty 110 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.680 was the first the first time I was exposed to 111 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:17.639 this and didn't have another interaction until much later. And 112 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.639 I have a sister who's ten years younger than me. 113 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.120 At high school, when I graduated, I went straight into 114 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:31.560 the military. And when I came back from the military, 115 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.519 I was in a conversation with somebody and my younger 116 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:41.159 sister was there, and she made a comment about her 117 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:46.120 interaction with a bigfoot, and I just kind of looked 118 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.720 at her because I've never told my sister anything about this. 119 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:55.440 And she said that when she was a kid, when 120 00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.919 I was gone, because she was like eight or nine 121 00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:00.000 years old, because I was already gone out of the house, 122 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.879 that her and her friends in the neighborhood would play 123 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:09.000 spotlight tag. Wells where we live is really close to 124 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:12.759 the tree line for the county, outside the city limits, 125 00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:17.960 because we lived on a dead end street. Then she 126 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.159 proceeded to tell me, She's like, we were playing spotlight 127 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.120 tag and we were up here on the hill and 128 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:31.399 we were hiding crowds down and somebody behind us up 129 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:36.720 on the hill a little ways started throwing rocks, small 130 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:43.159 rocks or small pieces of wood, and we're like, who 131 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:47.240 was that? You know, who's playing spotlight tag? That's up 132 00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:50.440 on the hill farther than us. That's throwing stuff at us. 133 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:55.039 She said. I was sitting there, and she said I 134 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.879 had enough because people were starting to get like tagged 135 00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:00.960 with like little pebbles and rocks. It didn't hurt, but 136 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:04.519 it was just annoying. She said. I stood up and 137 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:08.399 turned around, and I'm like, would you please stop throwing rocks? 138 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.480 And she said that's when I saw it. It was 139 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:18.120 about twenty five or thirty feet away, and when it 140 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.759 stood up, she said, it was the size of like 141 00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:24.039 a four by eight sheet of plywood. She was just 142 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:33.440 like it was wide and tall and solid black. She said, 143 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:36.240 when I stood when I turned turned around, or when 144 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:40.600 it stood up. After I turned around, all the other 145 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:44.600 kids stood up and turned around, and then we all ran. 146 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.919 We ran back to the house, and that was the 147 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.600 last time that we ever played spotlight tag in the 148 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.919 woods beside the house. Now, you have to remember, I 149 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.720 didn't know anything about this for the longest time. So 150 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:06.600 when I came back out of the military, I came 151 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:09.799 back to that to this same exact house that I 152 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.000 grew up in. Both of my parents had passed away, 153 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:21.639 and I got this house back and a neighbor saw 154 00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:26.039 me out in the yard and yelled at me, and 155 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:29.799 he called me by my dad's name because we look 156 00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:37.639 we look alike. So this guy who lived two properties 157 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.440 over from me, that actually lives in the exact same 158 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:48.919 place that my sister had her citing an interaction, started 159 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.919 talking with me, and I'm like, hey, man, i've been 160 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.679 you know, I've been gone for twenty years. What's the 161 00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.679 craziest thing that you've had happen around here since since 162 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.840 I've been gone? He said, if I tell you that story, 163 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:08.639 you won't believe me. And I'm like, well, try me, 164 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.399 because I've gathered some very interesting stories over the year. 165 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.440 And after my first interaction, he proceeds to tell me 166 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:23.039 that he had he and his wife had horses and 167 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.879 they were in the woods fenced him in the woods 168 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:30.080 behind the house. He said, I was here and my 169 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:31.759 horse was on top of the hill and it was 170 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:36.519 going crazy, just yelling. You know, I'm not yelling, but 171 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:40.600 naying and just being loud, and something was going on, 172 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:43.960 he said, and then all of a sudden it quit. 173 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:48.559 He said, I had to I had a feeling, man, 174 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.200 I needed to go check on my horse. It's what 175 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:57.240 I got in my side beside or atv that he 176 00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.879 had at the time, and he goes up on the 177 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:02.559 on top of the hill, which is the ridge, the 178 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:09.240 same ridge. He said, Doug, I'm not lying to you 179 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:14.360 when I tell you that when I get past a cemetery, 180 00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:18.360 that's another interesting thing. There's a cemetery up there, he said. 181 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:21.360 When I got past a cemetery to where my horse 182 00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:25.879 was on the other side of the fence, he said, 183 00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:30.399 I looked up and the rear legs of my horse 184 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:35.080 was like three feet off the ground. Something had picked 185 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.279 my horse up put the front legs through the fork 186 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.120 of a tree. He said. The only thing I can 187 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.679 think of is this horse was trying to struggle and 188 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:51.279 get out, and it beat its head on the tree 189 00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:55.879 and may have accidentally, you know, ended itself that way, 190 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:00.600 or something else did, he said. But I was outside 191 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.919 the entire time this was going on, because this horse 192 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:07.559 was just giving up, you know, making making a lot 193 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.320 of noise, and then all of a sudden it was quiet, 194 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:14.559 and I'm like, I mean, I'm just sitting there soaking 195 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:21.360 this in. And he's looking at me, like trying to 196 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:26.200 see my reaction, and he's like, what do you believe me, 197 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:29.759 and I'm like, man, I tell you about my story. 198 00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:32.240 And then I proceeded to tell him my story from 199 00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:36.039 the same location. Now we actually ran through this property. 200 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:42.919 On our interaction, He's like, I kid you not. He said, 201 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.759 I had to go rent a tractor or borrow a 202 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:50.960 tractor from somebody to get my horse out of this tree. 203 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:53.360 He said. I have no explanation of how that horse 204 00:14:53.399 --> 00:15:01.000 got there, he said, but it was very disturbing. So 205 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.440 we had a slight conversation, you know, just to catch up. 206 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.799 But that's how the conversation started. And believe me, I'm 207 00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:13.559 I'm beyond doing small talk with things. When I when 208 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:16.799 you get a trigger word or in a conversation that 209 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:19.440 somebody says something is like, oh yeah, well, let me 210 00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:22.440 ask you a question. Have you ever had you ever 211 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.879 seen or heard anything that you can't explain in the woods. 212 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:28.840 And that's what opens up the conversation for these people 213 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:33.399 to start telling, you know, telling things that have happened 214 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:38.960 or things that they can't explain. So the interesting thing 215 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.279 is on the other side of this ridge, which is 216 00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:47.559 about two and a half miles away, there's another road. 217 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.759 I didn't know this that my sister told me later 218 00:15:55.240 --> 00:16:02.919 that the people over there had goats. They heard their 219 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:09.039 goats making a bunch of noise, and they went They 220 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:13.080 went out and found their goats with their front legs broken. 221 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:19.279 They weren't dead, but their front legs were broken, just 222 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:25.000 like laying on the ground struggling. Which is interesting because 223 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:29.840 that leads into other stories that I've been told by 224 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:36.039 hunters who they have found deer with their legs snapped 225 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:40.440 in half so they couldn't run. It's like, I really 226 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:43.320 don't want to eat you right now, but I'll come 227 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.039 back and get you when I when I need to. 228 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:50.279 That's the first thing that pops into my head. So 229 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:53.320 all of these stories that I'm telling you right now 230 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:58.159 are all on one piece of property, or parallel or 231 00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:03.360 intersect or connected to the proximity of this one piece 232 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:09.440 of property. I don't know how long, but there are 233 00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:11.559 stories has been going on. I just know that my 234 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.720 story started in nineteen eighty. But I catch all these 235 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:21.160 stories from my neighbors that live around me, and that's 236 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:26.920 the first time that they've spoken about it. Last summer, 237 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:30.119 driving on the access road to come on the other 238 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:33.799 side of the ridge where I'm at is a farm 239 00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:37.079 where they're building a pole barn and these guys are 240 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.880 out there putting it up and I'm talking with them 241 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:43.839 and he's like, yeah, this is my grandfather's farm. He's 242 00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:46.799 been here forever. I'm like, okay, man, I got to 243 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:49.960 ask do you hunt? And he's like, yeah, I've found 244 00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:54.319 this property all my life. And I'm like, have you 245 00:17:54.400 --> 00:18:00.599 heard or seen anything that you can't explain? He's like like, 246 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:04.920 what are you talking about. I'm like, just anything, Like 247 00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:07.960 you need to talk to my grandfather because he swears 248 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:13.240 he had a bigfoot interaction in the eighties. So it 249 00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:19.079 kind of matches like time frame of all this stuff 250 00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.440 that was going on, and it's in like a two 251 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:26.839 mile I would say, like a two mile radius. Now 252 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:30.440 we are very populated. I say very populated for a 253 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:32.720 rural community. I mean we have ten thousand people in 254 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:36.240 town and there's other small pockets of towns all around us. 255 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:43.319 So there's not like large, vast quantities of wilderness. But man, 256 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:49.880 there's all kinds of stuff that goes on here. I 257 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:54.960 have one lady that I went to church with. I 258 00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:56.599 still get a church with her. She's still a friend 259 00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.599 of mine. But we were in a casual conversation with 260 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.440 somebody else and I told my story and she's like, 261 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:06.519 you don't actually believe in that, right. I'm like, well, 262 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:09.240 you know, I don't judge. I don't judge people for 263 00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:13.559 what they believe in, but you know, and she laughed 264 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:16.759 at me and she said, well, that's really interesting that 265 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:24.119 you had that interaction. Now, not knowing but she took 266 00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:28.720 her grandson with her to Grayson Lake, which is Carter County, 267 00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:31.400 which is the next county, Ober and they went on 268 00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:37.599 a hiking trail. Needless to say, I get this phone 269 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:43.039 call around Sunday at five o'clock from the same lady 270 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:48.519 who is panicking on the phone, and the only words 271 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:51.759 that she could say was I believe you. I believe you. 272 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:54.559 I believe you. I believe what you saw and I 273 00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:59.640 might hold up what are you okay? She said, uh, 274 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:01.880 we're finding out. I'm like, what do you mean, I'm 275 00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:05.519 fine now. She said, we just had an interaction and 276 00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:09.240 I said okay, and she said, we just saw a 277 00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:14.440 bigfoot and I'm like what she said, we just saw 278 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.640 a bigfoot really, And of course I'm like, okay, tell 279 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:23.640 me what happened. She says, we parked the car at 280 00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:30.079 the trailhead at Grayson Lake at the campground, and then 281 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:32.039 there's a trail that comes off the campground. She said. 282 00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:35.960 We start walking. She said. We're probably on the trail 283 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:39.519 for about one hundred yards, she said, to my grandson's 284 00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:43.920 in front of me, and we're walking along, and she said, 285 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:48.640 and just out of the blue, I got sick. She said. 286 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.400 I had a sick feeling in my stomach. She said, 287 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.599 it was just like it just hit me instantly, and 288 00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.480 I yelled at my grandson to stop. She said. I 289 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:06.519 just had a feeling, she said, but mostly it was 290 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:10.519 a sick feeling in my gut. It's like it stopped 291 00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:15.799 me in my tracks. And then I started to feel 292 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:20.319 that something was watching me. And then I could feel 293 00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:23.839 that something was actually watching me, and not very far away. 294 00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:27.799 She said. I started to panic because my grandson's probably 295 00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:30.920 twenty five feet thirty feet ahead of her on the trail, 296 00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:35.839 and she starts scanning around, not moving. She just actually 297 00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:42.480 just frozen, stopped where she was at. She said. I 298 00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:44.599 turned to my left real quick, and that's when I 299 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:49.160 saw it. And it ran from behind the tree to 300 00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:54.519 another clump of trees, she said, and it was dark 301 00:21:54.599 --> 00:22:03.000 color on two legs tall, like eight nine feet tall, maybe, 302 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:10.720 She said, I was just sick. When my grandson turned, 303 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:13.200 she said, he looked the same direction that I was 304 00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:15.880 looking at it. He came running to me, and I 305 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:18.599 grabbed his hand and we ran back. So you have 306 00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:20.359 to remember, you know, we're one hundred yards in the 307 00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:23.000 woods from the car. She said. I didn't look back, 308 00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:24.720 I didn't do anything. I just held onto his hand 309 00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:28.920 and ran to the car. She said. The first thing 310 00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:32.839 when I got to the car is, oh my god. 311 00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:35.480 I got to call Doug because she had made fun 312 00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:40.160 of me before before my interaction or my story. So 313 00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:47.319 now she sends me stuff on you know, on social media. 314 00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.720 We share stories all the time. But you know, it 315 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.039 took that for her to be a believer. So and 316 00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:58.400 I can understand when people say, you don't actually believe 317 00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:03.720 in that stuff, because until you've had an interaction, until 318 00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:06.559 you've seen one five feet away, or until you've heard 319 00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:11.720 something or heard it in the woods, or you know, 320 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.039 had an interaction yourself that you can't explain, and you 321 00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:17.160 see it and it's like you know in your mind 322 00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:24.319 what it is, there's no question, but they exist, and 323 00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:28.759 once you have an interaction it to me, It changed 324 00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:32.960 me forever. But it also I think it changes everybody's 325 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:39.960 perspective on what's real, what's not real, what's there, what's 326 00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:45.839 still out there? And you know, after that interaction with her, 327 00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:49.279 it was interesting because she and I has somebody to 328 00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:57.400 talk to about it. So that was that was three 329 00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:02.599 stories right there. That's all not too far way. In 330 00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:06.480 Carter County, which is the next county over, which is 331 00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:10.640 right close to where Grayson Lake is, there is a 332 00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:16.960 little town called Gron, Grand Kentucky and Carter County. Man 333 00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:20.720 an interesting thing. If I don't know if it's still 334 00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:24.359 up there or not, but if you google Grond, Kentucky 335 00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:33.559 and bigfoot sidings, you would be amazed. I think I'm 336 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:41.160 thinking three four years ago around Christmas. There's a church 337 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:46.079 in Gron, which is crazy because now it's for sale, 338 00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:48.279 so I don't know if people stop going there or what. 339 00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:54.440 I don't know, but there was a gathering for Christmas 340 00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:59.279 at this church and these people walk out, they walk 341 00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:03.920 out of church and walking out together and this thing 342 00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:08.519 goes running across the field in front of the church. Yes, 343 00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:12.279 they all described it as the same thing, tall, dark, 344 00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:17.839 hairy running on two legs across the field in front 345 00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:21.000 of the church. So you're talking twenty to twenty five 346 00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:26.960 people I think at the time, had this interaction and 347 00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:33.519 they all saw it together. So that was an interesting 348 00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:39.039 situation for people to come out of their church around 349 00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:41.480 Christmas time to see this thing run across in front 350 00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:45.160 of the church. But I haven't even checked lately, but 351 00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:47.920 you if you type in grind Kentucky, I think it's 352 00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:51.319 g r a h N. I think that's how it's 353 00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:56.640 spelled in Sint Carter County. I couldn't tell you how 354 00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:03.400 many bigfoot sidings are report from out there. Just pop 355 00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.920 up and they just pop up. That's that's another one 356 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:14.440 in Carter County, not too far away. But man, the 357 00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:17.079 most one of the most interesting stories that I've ever 358 00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:20.720 had someone tell me is from a good friend of 359 00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:25.839 mine who is the pastor of a church. This guy 360 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:32.000 I've known for about thirty years. It's interesting because once 361 00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:37.000 I brought this up in a conversation, it's that it 362 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.599 was like he finally had somebody to talk to about 363 00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.400 an incidents that happened with him. And you talk about 364 00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:52.279 something crazy, and when I say crazy, it's one of 365 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:55.160 the most intriguing stories that I've ever heard. Do I 366 00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:59.839 believe him, Oh absolutely. As the reason that he feels 367 00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:03.799 that he cannot go public with this is because of 368 00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:05.799 what he does for a living. He's a pastor of 369 00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:08.880 a church, he said. If I would ever say anything, 370 00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:13.000 if I would ever tell anybody this story, he said, 371 00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:17.400 the church would, you know, most likely excommunicate me and 372 00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:19.400 have me thrown out of the church, and I would 373 00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:23.799 never be able to preach again, he said. But as 374 00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:32.079 a kid, I grew up on the river and all 375 00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:34.160 my friends that lived around me would all hang out 376 00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:36.319 in the summertime after school was out, and we'd go 377 00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:40.640 down to the river and play. The river was like 378 00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:44.359 like a rocky bottom river, not not a deep you know. 379 00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:47.960 There were some places that it was deep enough to 380 00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:51.759 swim in, but you could walk across it in some places, 381 00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:54.599 he said. I think we were about ten years old 382 00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:57.960 the first time that had happened, he said. We're just 383 00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:00.640 down there playing in the creeks, he said, and all 384 00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:05.680 of a sudden, it's just like you know, something's there. 385 00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:13.119 You could sense that something was there. So we all 386 00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:15.519 looked up on the hillside across the across the creek 387 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.960 from us, he said, we could see things move, but 388 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:22.079 we couldn't get a we couldn't get an actual visual 389 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:28.400 lock onto what they were. So we kind of just 390 00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:30.759 like you know, went back up the hill to the house, 391 00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:35.599 to his house where he where he lived. The next 392 00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:42.079 day it was the same thing. And this lasted like 393 00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:46.319 like four or five days, and then they didn't get 394 00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:51.440 that feeling anymore, and then it was gone. They never 395 00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:52.920 they never got that, you know, the rest of the 396 00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.599 rest of the year. The next year, about the same 397 00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:59.279 time in summer, they're down there playing and now they're 398 00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:05.839 like eleven years old, they get that same feeling. This 399 00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:11.599 time they actually can see things moving in the woods, 400 00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:15.480 and it was just like they thought other people were 401 00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:21.440
