Speaker 1: You're listening to Big Foot Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron.
Speaker 1: Tonight's account comes from a mom who thought a midweek
Speaker 1: camp out at Lake ten Killer in Oklahoma would be
Speaker 1: the perfect escape, but she was about to find out
Speaker 1: that that was not the case, that the forest would
Speaker 1: be coming alive in ways that she neither expected or wanted.
Speaker 1: This is a story, Presley, a mother who had to
Speaker 1: dial nine one one, and this episode will go over
Speaker 1: why she had to do that. To stay with us,
Speaker 1: all right, Big for Society got the privilege of talking
Speaker 1: to Presley today. Presley is an individual I got connected
Speaker 1: to over on the TikTok platform and she's on the
Speaker 1: program today to share about an encounter that happened in
Speaker 1: the state of Oklahoma. Her and her kids were present.
Speaker 1: I believe for that. So, Presley, how's it going today?
Speaker 2: Hey good?
Speaker 1: How are you doing great? Doing great? I'm excited to
Speaker 1: have you on the show today. You get some really
Speaker 1: interesting connections over there on TikTok, and this takes place
Speaker 1: down in Oklahoma, which definitely has some great stories come
Speaker 1: out of there. But you know, you're welcome to take
Speaker 1: us back to what was going on when you had
Speaker 1: this encounter where you were, feel free to take us
Speaker 1: back to that point in time.
Speaker 2: Okay, So we were.
Speaker 3: It was my daughters and I and we were camping
Speaker 3: at Lake Timillar State Park, which is near the dam
Speaker 3: area of the lake. And we weren't strangers to this lake.
Speaker 3: I actually grew up on this lake, but it is
Speaker 3: about like two hours where we lived. So we go
Speaker 3: out there, we go camping from time to time, but
Speaker 3: we've never stayed like in this part of the lake,
Speaker 3: the state park part, So that was new to us,
Speaker 3: and it was recommended from a friend that we know
Speaker 3: to go out there and stay. So I homeschooled my
Speaker 3: children and I work from home, so we have the
Speaker 3: privilege of packing up midweek and going out there and camping.
Speaker 3: And that's what we did. And this was April ninth
Speaker 3: when it happened, and we got out there at about
Speaker 3: ten am. And April ninth, I don't really feel like
Speaker 3: is like camping season for a lot of people in
Speaker 3: Oklahoma during that time of year, and we were the
Speaker 3: only campers in the entire state park that we had seen.
Speaker 3: We drove around, we walked around, and there was nobody
Speaker 3: there besides like the state park employees and us, So
Speaker 3: that was kind of crazy, but it was really cool
Speaker 3: actually because we got to do the trails by ourselves,
Speaker 3: so we just had the whole place to ourselves and
Speaker 3: we walked around. But when we got there, we got
Speaker 3: there at like i'd say ten ten thirty am, and
Speaker 3: we set up our tent, we set up camp and
Speaker 3: all that, and we liked to paint rocks, like we're
Speaker 3: in a little rock painting group, So we painted some
Speaker 3: rocks and we went fishing, and we went hiking the
Speaker 3: trails and nothing weird like was happening during this time.
Speaker 2: But when we came back.
Speaker 3: From walking the trails, we went down and we went
Speaker 3: fishing for probably like an hour or so, and then
Speaker 3: we went back up to camp after and we started
Speaker 3: a fire. And that would have been around like probably
Speaker 3: like five PM. But we started the fire and that's
Speaker 3: when I started hearing things. But I also want to
Speaker 3: say I never believed in bigfoot until this happened, and
Speaker 3: I wasn't even a bigfoot believer like during this event.
Speaker 3: It wasn't until like the day after when I started
Speaker 3: like thinking about the story and stuff, and then I
Speaker 3: came across a bigfoot thing on TikTok and it kind
Speaker 3: of matched my story, and so that's kind of why
Speaker 3: I feel like it was probably a bigfoot. There's no
Speaker 3: other explanation. You'll you'll see. But so anyways, we started
Speaker 3: the fire and we started to hear like stake's break
Speaker 3: and like these little like whistles and stuff. But it
Speaker 3: was weird like where our tent was set up, we
Speaker 3: were kind of surrounded by the lake, but on the
Speaker 3: and I sent you the picture so you can see
Speaker 3: what I'm talking about, but like on the right side
Speaker 3: there was a forest area and trails and stuff, and
Speaker 3: that's where we had went exploring through that day. So
Speaker 3: everything was pretty much clear around us. No one was
Speaker 3: around us, but this forest side where the trails were,
Speaker 3: it's like where we started hearing a lot of stuff
Speaker 3: go on. But the whistles and the sticks breaking, like
Speaker 3: it was like it was catching our attention because it
Speaker 3: was like really noticeable.
Speaker 2: It kept happening.
Speaker 3: It was catching our attention, but I didn't really think
Speaker 3: nothing of it, like it's the woods over there, you know,
Speaker 3: it could be anything really, So but as the sun
Speaker 3: like started going down, it started the whistles sounded like
Speaker 3: they were getting closer and the sticks breaking were like
Speaker 3: getting really closer.
Speaker 2: So anyways, we still weren't paying it much. Mind. I
Speaker 2: do want to mention that.
Speaker 3: Earlier that day, we had ordered Uber out to the lake,
Speaker 3: out to our campsite, and the Uber driver like had
Speaker 3: a hard time finding our campsite and stuff, and he
Speaker 3: was kind of like angry. I guess that he couldn't
Speaker 3: find the campsite and he was like, don't. He was
Speaker 3: kind of really intimidating, and it was just really mad
Speaker 3: about the whole dropping the food off situation, and so
Speaker 3: that encounter kind of had me kind of nervous. So
Speaker 3: after we had our fire going and stuff and we
Speaker 3: put it out, when we went in to camp for
Speaker 3: the night, I decided that since we were the only
Speaker 3: ones in the park and there was no one else around,
Speaker 3: I was gonna like put out the fire and make
Speaker 3: our camp real dark because I didn't want anyone to
Speaker 3: be able to see our campsite, just me and my
Speaker 3: daughter's camping. So when all this happened, I was thinking
Speaker 3: that these noises were maybe from like this Uber guy
Speaker 3: coming back, or Okay, I'm just I'm getting ahead of myself,
Speaker 3: so let me slow down.
Speaker 2: Okay, So.
Speaker 3: We put the fire out and then we got into
Speaker 3: the tent, and two my daughters are pretty young, so
Speaker 3: the two youngest ones, they were already in the tent
Speaker 3: asleep about seven, seven thirty pm. And my oldest daughter
Speaker 3: and I were cleaning up the camp, putting out the fire,
Speaker 3: you know, getting everything situated so we.
Speaker 2: Could get inside.
Speaker 3: And as soon as we got inside the tent and
Speaker 3: turned the lights off, that's when we started hearing stuff.
Speaker 3: Now earlier when I had mentioned we were painting rocks,
Speaker 3: we were painting the rocks and then we hid them
Speaker 3: along the trail. So when we got in the camp, we,
Speaker 3: like I said, we were the only ones in the campsite.
Speaker 3: And this part of Oklahoma is straight river rocks, so
Speaker 3: like if someone were walking around your campsite, you would
Speaker 3: hear everything. Those river rocks, they make a lot of
Speaker 3: noise when they're being walked on, so you can hear everything. Well,
Speaker 3: I wasn't hearing like anyone walk around our campsite or
Speaker 3: anything like that, but there were rocks being thrown at
Speaker 3: our tent and like around our tent, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: so we're in the tent, it's pitch black outside my
Speaker 3: two of my daughters are sleeping. One of my daughters
Speaker 3: is on her tablet playing Roadblocks, and I'm sitting on
Speaker 3: there on my phone playing. But I hear like these
Speaker 3: rocks that are being thrown, and I'm like, I'm asking
Speaker 3: my oldest daughter and I'm like, do you hear that? And
Speaker 3: she's like, yeah, I hear that. And I'm like, that's
Speaker 3: that's weird. Like we're the only ones in the campsite.
Speaker 2: What is that?
Speaker 3: And so we kind of like just try to let
Speaker 3: it go. Didn't really pay it any mind. And uh,
Speaker 3: after I did hear those rocks, I got up and
Speaker 3: I kind of cracked the tent windows a little bit
Speaker 3: so I could like peek out and see if I
Speaker 3: could see anything out there. And it was pitch black,
Speaker 3: but the moonlight, the moonlight had it pretty lit up so.
Speaker 2: You could see. Well.
Speaker 3: I had the tent windows cracked and I was peeking
Speaker 3: out there, and I didn't see anything. There was a
Speaker 3: stray cat out there, like eating off the ground and
Speaker 3: stuff my girls had thrown like some leftover hot dog
Speaker 3: out there, and so the stray cat was out there eating.
Speaker 3: But I knew that, you know, that wasn't the throwing
Speaker 3: rock noise. I didn't know what the throwing rock noise was,
Speaker 3: but anyways, I just kind of like zipped up the
Speaker 3: tent windows a little bit more and sat back down. Well,
Speaker 3: probably five or ten more minutes went by, and we
Speaker 3: heard something outside the tent. So you know when you
Speaker 3: steak a tent in the ground, like you you know,
Speaker 3: you hammer the steaks in there. Well, it being river rock,
Speaker 3: I couldn't get the steaks all the way in the ground,
Speaker 3: so they were kind of like sticking up out of
Speaker 3: the ground, and I had put bigger rocks over them
Speaker 3: so like no one would trip over the stakes. Well,
Speaker 3: one of those rocks I could hear like on the
Speaker 3: court it had gotten knocked over.
Speaker 2: And so immediately my heart dropped. I'm like, there's something
Speaker 2: outside this tent, Like I do not know what is
Speaker 2: outside this tent.
Speaker 3: Like I'm freaking out, but maybe it's a raccoon, you know,
Speaker 3: That's like where my head is at. But also at
Speaker 3: the same time, I'm like, what if that uber driver,
Speaker 3: like me being a paranoid single mom out there, I'm like,
Speaker 3: what if that uber driver came back and it's him,
Speaker 3: Like I was freaking out, I didn't know what was
Speaker 3: going on. So I'm sitting there and I'm just kind
Speaker 3: of listening to these noises. Well then so I heard
Speaker 3: that rock fall over and that was like towards the
Speaker 3: front of the tent. Well then it got quiet for
Speaker 3: just a few seconds, and then I heard like a
Speaker 3: brushing on the other side of the tent, like something
Speaker 3: brushed up on the other side of the tent, and
Speaker 3: it was it was tall enough to where I knew, like,
Speaker 3: that's not a raccoon, Like raccoons are not that tall.
Speaker 2: Like I don't know what that is out there.
Speaker 3: But at this point, I'm like trying not to freak
Speaker 3: out in front of my daughter, but internally I'm like
Speaker 3: freaking out. I don't know what's going on. So I
Speaker 3: sat there for a few more minutes. And after that,
Speaker 3: after I heard the brushing, I got like, I got
Speaker 3: so scared. I got up and I looked out of
Speaker 3: the tent windows again. And I'm probably looking out of
Speaker 3: the tent windows for like ten or fifteen minutes, and
Speaker 3: I hear nothing, I see nothing. I'm like so confused.
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on. So then I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: you know what it's been a long day, like we've
Speaker 3: been out all day. We I just need to lay
Speaker 3: down and go to sleep.
Speaker 2: I don't know what that is. I'm freaking myself out.
Speaker 3: So I'm sitting there and like I said, I work
Speaker 3: from home, so I'm checking some emails before I go
Speaker 3: to bed, and I'm leaned up against the tent. So
Speaker 3: like if you were to be on the outside of
Speaker 3: the tent looking like you could see, probably it bulged
Speaker 3: out me leaning on it, you know. So I'm like
Speaker 3: leaning on the side of this tent, checking emails before
Speaker 3: I go to bed, and all of a sudden, the
Speaker 3: loudest like there's no explanation for like what this could
Speaker 3: have been. The loudest bank, like if you were to
Speaker 3: pick up a car and slam it on the ground.
Speaker 2: I know that sounds so dramatic, but that's.
Speaker 3: That's the best I can explain it, like the loudest bank.
Speaker 3: And it was followed by like an impact of rocks
Speaker 3: being thrown up at the tent well. The rocks hit
Speaker 3: my back, and also where my young was sleeping along
Speaker 3: the tent wall, it woke her up out of her
Speaker 3: sleep because the rocks hit her in the head and
Speaker 3: it was like these rocks hurt. It was whatever that
Speaker 3: impact was was so powerful, and immediately like now I'm
Speaker 3: freaking out, like my heart's racing.
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do.
Speaker 3: Immediately, I grabbed the phone and I called nine one
Speaker 3: one because I know this is dramatic, but I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, what if that uber guy came back
Speaker 3: and he's like shooting at us?
Speaker 2: Like is it a gunshot?
Speaker 3: Like if you were to shoot a pistol off next
Speaker 3: to your ear, like that's probably how loud it was.
Speaker 2: But I grew up around guns and I knew.
Speaker 3: I'm like, that wasn't like that couldn't have been a
Speaker 3: gun shot unless like its just nothing made sense. I'm like,
Speaker 3: what was that? And I've told people about it and
Speaker 3: they were like, well, maybe it was a tree branch
Speaker 3: that fell or and I'm like no, Like, for one,
Speaker 3: there wasn't even a tree. There was a tree at
Speaker 3: the camp, but not by her tent right there, Like
Speaker 3: there's no explanation for what this loud of impact was.
Speaker 3: And also the force behind those rocks being thrown like
Speaker 3: it hurt. So immediately I called nine one one, and
Speaker 3: I'm like I didn't know what to tell him.
Speaker 2: I'm like, Hi, I think.
Speaker 3: Someone shooting at my tent, Like I'm not sure what's
Speaker 3: going on. Can you send it officer out here. I
Speaker 3: just want to pack up and leave, like I just
Speaker 3: I need it lit a like I want to officer
Speaker 3: out here while I pack up and leave, please, And
Speaker 3: so they're like yeah, and you know, asking me questions.
Speaker 3: I was on the phone with the lady and she
Speaker 3: was like, do you want me to stay on the
Speaker 3: phone with you until.
Speaker 2: The deputies get there?
Speaker 3: And I was like yes, please, And so I had
Speaker 3: it on the phone the whole time, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'm going to look out of the windows, like while
Speaker 3: we're waiting on him. And so I'm looking out of
Speaker 3: the windows after that, like freaked out, and I'm still
Speaker 3: not seeing anything. And at this point, I'm like, I'm mad,
Speaker 3: I'm scared. I'm confused, Like I have no clue what
Speaker 3: that was, what's going on. It's just us out here.
Speaker 3: And that's when the deputy or the dispatch lady on
Speaker 3: the phone she goes, well, I was going to see
Speaker 3: if one of the park rangers were there, but they
Speaker 3: all left at five, and.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 3: So like We're literally the only ones in the state
Speaker 3: park right now, like and so that really just totally
Speaker 3: scared me. And it's a really rural area, you know,
Speaker 3: so like probably fifteen or twenty minutes later the deputies
Speaker 3: show up. And by this time, probably about five minutes
Speaker 3: before the deputies show up, I got out of the tent.
Speaker 3: I just I turned on every lanner and I had
Speaker 3: I turned on my car alarm, so whatever was out there,
Speaker 3: like whoever was out there, I came out with an
Speaker 3: entrance out of that tent, you know, like I lit
Speaker 3: everything up, I set off the car alarm, and I
Speaker 3: didn't see anything. And I went back to the spot
Speaker 3: to where the impact was, and there was nothing there,
Speaker 3: like nothing there. So I packed up my stuff and
Speaker 3: the kids as quick as we could and we got
Speaker 3: out of there, and we got home, you know, late
Speaker 3: that night and that next day. And I'm sitting there
Speaker 3: like that next day and I'm thinking about it, and
Speaker 3: I'm scrolling on TikTok and I run across this posts
Speaker 3: that's these girls that were having rocks thrown at him,
Speaker 3: like as they were walking down a hiking trail, and
Speaker 3: I'm like, wait, we were having rocks thrown at us,
Speaker 3: you know, like and so then I started, you know,
Speaker 3: I clicked the little thing on TikTok and says bigfoot
Speaker 3: at the bottom, a little search thing, and it started.
Speaker 3: I ran across this post from this girl that was
Speaker 3: like things that entice Bigfoot, and it's things like fishing
Speaker 3: and starting fires, and I so read. I'm Cherokee and
Speaker 3: Chalktaw citizen, so I know the stories like of our
Speaker 3: tribal war and stuff of Bigfoot, but I never really
Speaker 3: thought anything of it. But you know, it's like there
Speaker 3: was talks from the Chalktaw tribe about how they liked
Speaker 3: women and children, and I'm like, oh my god. It
Speaker 3: was just me and my children out there camping. So
Speaker 3: all these things started to like kind of come about,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, what if that was like a Bigfoot experience,
Speaker 3: Like there's no that impact. And plus the sticks breaking,
Speaker 3: the whistling, and we did on and off throughout the
Speaker 3: whole day. It was extremely windy that day. We kept
Speaker 3: getting like nasty smells and my daughters were like blaming
Speaker 3: each other and stuff that I seen that's like a
Speaker 3: Bigfoot thing, like Bigfoot skinks, I guess. So anyways, all
Speaker 3: these little clues I started reading about just kind of
Speaker 3: went with my story really well. And I don't know,
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I just wanted to share that
Speaker 3: because that was intense and I still there's no explanation
Speaker 3: for what that impact was.
Speaker 2: I've thought about it every day since.
Speaker 1: You know, Wow, that is such an intense encounter. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm you handled yourself really well. I mean, to be
Speaker 1: in that type of situation, and on top of it all,
Speaker 1: try you have to deal with a guy not treating
Speaker 1: yet good that's delivering your food like that, it's just
Speaker 1: not cool.
Speaker 2: That was, yeah, And I mean I was being dramatic
Speaker 2: about that, you know, I'm like, oh my god, he's
Speaker 2: coming back to shoot our tent. But still at the
Speaker 2: same time, you got to think about stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally, and also too, like there was no like,
Speaker 3: there was no explanation. I know, it wasn't a gunshot,
Speaker 3: but it was like as loud as one, if not louder,
Speaker 3: and then the rock impact.
Speaker 2: I just don't know.
Speaker 1: So did you end up leaving before the deputies got there?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Uh, they actually like stayed there while we got all
Speaker 3: packed up and stuff. I was already a little bit
Speaker 3: packed up when they rolled up. When I got out
Speaker 3: of the tent and like lit everything up, I had
Speaker 3: to immediately started throwing stuff in the trunk. So when
Speaker 3: they pulled up, we were pretty much almost packed and
Speaker 3: they stayed there while I took the tent down and stuff,
Speaker 3: and they were asking me, you know, they were like
Speaker 3: did you see anything?
Speaker 2: Did you hear anything? And I'm like, I'm trying not
Speaker 2: to sound.
Speaker 3: Crazy because i know we're the only ones in this park,
Speaker 3: but I'm like no, Like that's the thing that's killing me.
Speaker 3: It's like I did not see anything, Like, yes, we
Speaker 3: heard things, but I did not see anything, and I
Speaker 3: have no explanation, and that drives me nuts, you know,
Speaker 3: like what was it?
Speaker 1: Excuse me? The way they were reacting was it was
Speaker 1: it like there were how are they reacting the whole time?
Speaker 1: Were they kind of like making like oh this again,
Speaker 1: or like oh another bigfoot thing?
Speaker 2: Or no.
Speaker 3: So that's the crazy thing too, is after I kind
Speaker 3: of started thinking maybe this could have been a big foot,
Speaker 3: it took me back to one of the officer's faces,
Speaker 3: because so there was an older officer and there was
Speaker 3: a younger officer, and they were actually highway patrols. I
Speaker 3: guess that's who patrols that area. I don't know they
Speaker 3: were highway patrols. But the younger one, like he kind
Speaker 3: of went off with his flashlight and was looking around.
Speaker 3: Can't but the older one, like when I was telling him,
Speaker 3: which I didn't give us obviously much of detail as
Speaker 3: I'm giving now, I was panicked, but the information I
Speaker 3: was giving him, like, he kept looking off in the
Speaker 3: woods and stuff, and he didn't leave. He just kind
Speaker 3: of kept like you could tell he was trying to
Speaker 3: figure out the situation, figure me out. But he kept
Speaker 3: looking over, like off in the woods and stuff, and
Speaker 3: he didn't have much to say. And I wouldn't put
Speaker 3: it past you, like if he actually was thinking maybe
Speaker 3: bigfoot too, now that I know what I know now
Speaker 3: and remembering like his you know, demeanor and stuff, he probably.
Speaker 2: Thought it was a big foot too.
Speaker 3: But he was definitely interested in, you know, trying to
Speaker 3: figure the situation out.
Speaker 1: He's I would guess, you know, being an individual that's
Speaker 1: done that for a few years, he's probably heard other
Speaker 1: stories as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, can you.
Speaker 1: Is not to be weird, but can you describe what
Speaker 1: the weird smells were? Like they like anything else that
Speaker 1: you smelled before.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my kids were like, ew, who's farting? Who keeps farting?
Speaker 3: Like it was just a it was just like a
Speaker 3: foul you know smell, Like yeah that we kept smelling
Speaker 3: and yeah, we didn't know who it was or what
Speaker 3: it was. We were blaming each other, so gotcha it was.
Speaker 3: I will say when the rock that I had like
Speaker 3: leaned up on the stake, when that was kicked over
Speaker 3: and like during the brushing of the tent part, like
Speaker 3: you could smell it then you could smell it pretty
Speaker 3: strong then, And yeah, that was that. But I didn't
Speaker 3: at that time, like I didn't know anything about bigfood.
Speaker 1: This would have been probably when you were packing up.
Speaker 1: But were you able to see the rocks that were
Speaker 1: thrown at the tent? Were they the same rocks that
Speaker 1: you had been painting or totally different ones?
Speaker 2: So I didn't see.
Speaker 3: We had looked around camp now it was nighttime when
Speaker 3: we were packing up and stuff. But I had ran
Speaker 3: a flashlight like around the campsite looking for anything, and
Speaker 3: I did not. I didn't see any paintings or anything
Speaker 3: like that, like any of the painted rocks or anything
Speaker 3: like that. But that always like really got me in
Speaker 3: the story because we did paint rocks and we hit
Speaker 3: them along those trails, you know, and it was just
Speaker 3: so weird that at first the rocks were being thrown
Speaker 3: at our tent. I had that thought too, I'm like,
Speaker 3: what if those were the rocks that we painted that
Speaker 3: were being thrown back? But I didn't see anything like
Speaker 3: around our campsite that I remember as we were packing up.
Speaker 2: But I also was out of there as quick as
Speaker 2: I cared could be.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, at any point when you guys were in that park,
Speaker 1: did things get extremely quiet or was it kind of
Speaker 1: normal sounds the whole day?
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't really remember anything getting like extremely quiet.
Speaker 3: I do know that this day in particular, it was
Speaker 3: so windy, like the wind was being a nuisance, I know,
Speaker 3: just like we had the wind going all day, but
Speaker 3: not that I remember, Like, no, I don't remember it
Speaker 3: like getting quiet. None of these stick breakings and the
Speaker 3: whistlings though, none of that started until after we went
Speaker 3: fishing and we came up and started the campfire. When
Speaker 3: we were sitting around the campfire is when we started
Speaker 3: hearing stuff off in the woods.
Speaker 1: Would it be possible to try to mimic the type
Speaker 1: of whistling that you had heard.
Speaker 3: Let's see, like a it would I mean, I can
Speaker 3: try to do. It's gonna soud funny, but I guess
Speaker 3: maybe like two long whistles back to back, like a
Speaker 3: like a not like a cat call whistle, but kind
Speaker 3: of like that, but drop drug out, you know, like woooo.
Speaker 3: I guess maybe not even like that. I don't know
Speaker 3: how to recreate it, but it was. I remember there
Speaker 3: was one point specifically where roasted marshmallows and I looked
Speaker 3: over at my daughter and I'm like, dang, that whistle
Speaker 3: was really exotic. Like whatever that whistle was was really
Speaker 3: we watched birds, so that's why it was registering with me,
Speaker 3: that whistle. I'm like, I wonder what that is. That's
Speaker 3: a really unique whistle, you know. But again, never thought
Speaker 3: anything of it. We were making our s'mores, you know,
Speaker 3: doing whatever. Never thought anything of it interesting.
Speaker 1: Did you hear any other birds, like owls or any
Speaker 1: animals at any time?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: I mean maybe like normal birds you know that you
Speaker 3: hear in the woods and stuff like, there was little
Speaker 3: troopings and stuff, but nothing that like stuck out.
Speaker 1: Okay, so nothing like you hear a bird and you're like,
Speaker 1: that was weird because it sounded a little off.
Speaker 2: Nothing like that, Yeah, okay, no, just the whistle.
Speaker 3: The whistle was off and we were like, what kind
Speaker 3: of bird could that be? But other than that, no,
Speaker 3: nothing gotcha.
Speaker 1: When you were on your hike, did you notice anything
Speaker 1: out of the ordinary.
Speaker 3: In the woods? Okay, so we did, And I don't
Speaker 3: know how out in the ordinary this is, but we
Speaker 3: brought it home because we thought it was really neat. So,
Speaker 3: like I said, Tim Killer, where we're at, Like, I've
Speaker 3: been around there my whole life. I grew up down there.
Speaker 2: We would find turtle shells all the time. Everywhere.
Speaker 3: This turtle shell, though, I have never seen a turtle
Speaker 3: shell like this before, and I actually have a picture
Speaker 3: of it. I have it here at my house and
Speaker 3: I could send you a picture of it if you want.
Speaker 3: But so when we were walking through this trail, when
Speaker 3: you leave our tent, like where I have the trail
Speaker 3: circled in the photo, you go through the trail and
Speaker 3: it's kind of dense woods for a little bit and
Speaker 3: you cross this little creek. Well, right when you cross
Speaker 3: this little creek, the trees open up to like this
Speaker 3: large circle area like on top of a bluff, and
Speaker 3: it's just like not like river rock, but like it's
Speaker 3: not volcanic rock, but if you were to look at that,
Speaker 3: it would be it was like the same. It was
Speaker 3: just this like black top of rock, no trees, nothing,
Speaker 3: and it's just like this circle area on a bluff.
Speaker 3: It was kind of weird coming out of the trail,
Speaker 3: you know, all woodsy, and then it just open up
Speaker 3: to this area and we're like, whoa.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 3: Well it looks like a wash area, like where you know,
Speaker 3: when it rains or whatever, things just washed down this
Speaker 3: area off into the lake is what it looked like. Well,
Speaker 3: there was nothing except right in the center, the dead
Speaker 3: center of this area, there's this white turtle shell. And
Speaker 3: we were like, you know, still not thinking anything, but
Speaker 3: we were like, oh, that's cool. How random is that
Speaker 3: just sitting there, you know, like why didn't that get
Speaker 3: washed down with the rest of the stuff.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 3: And so we pick it up and we're checking it
Speaker 3: out and it's just this white turtleshell. But still the
Speaker 3: area that it was at, like it just didn't make sense,
Speaker 3: like that would have already been washed down if it
Speaker 3: was just like like I feel like it was placed there,
Speaker 3: And even before knowing anything of Bidfoot, when we walked
Speaker 3: up on it, I'm like, that's really weird that this
Speaker 3: is here, you know, how cool. Girls like we're really
Speaker 3: lucky to find this white turtleshell.
Speaker 2: How cool? And so we took it home and.
Speaker 3: We still have it. But that always struck me as weird.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if that has.
Speaker 1: Anything to do with anything that is definitely the ordinary.
Speaker 1: I would say, did you notice any trees that were
Speaker 1: I I don't know, let's say, trees that were you know,
Speaker 1: broken or bent in weird angles or anything like that
Speaker 1: when you're walking around?
Speaker 3: Uh No, I wouldn't say that I noticed anything like that.
Speaker 3: Now we now like it was an afural force. So
Speaker 3: you know, there was like a tree that was on
Speaker 3: the ground and stuff, but not anything that I noticed
Speaker 3: like weird.
Speaker 2: I guess gotcha.
Speaker 1: After you had you know, you got home, you brought
Speaker 1: the turtleshell home, all that good stuff. Did anything at
Speaker 1: the ordinary start happening at home or just kind of
Speaker 1: a one time occurrence at lake Time Killer?
Speaker 3: Yeah, nothing weird has happened at my house or anything.
Speaker 3: It was just just that experience, just those few, those
Speaker 3: few short hours we spent out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the craziest thing.
Speaker 3: And like, I don't I've know I ever had a
Speaker 3: fear come over me to where I'm like, I felt
Speaker 3: like I was frozen, like when I called that cop
Speaker 3: or nine to one one, Like I've.
Speaker 2: Never felt fear like that in my life.
Speaker 3: So that's just something I want to put out there,
Speaker 3: Like that was so terrifying, and I feel better about
Speaker 3: it now, But that whole experience just really shook me,
Speaker 3: and it still shakes me, Like it's scary.
Speaker 2: So but no, nothing at my house.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, I mean it does really affect you. It
Speaker 1: makes your heartbeat, yeah, uncontrollably, sometimes raise your blood pressure,
Speaker 1: all this crazy crazy stuff. But was there also a
Speaker 1: time where you were not able to move at all
Speaker 1: or just there is so much fear that you're like
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I just have to power through this.
Speaker 3: When the rocks hit me, like that impact, like the
Speaker 3: amount of emotions that came over me, Like I can't
Speaker 3: even explain it. I was frozen for a second, and
Speaker 3: like I was confused, Like I said, I hadn't I
Speaker 3: literally had no clue what that could have been. I
Speaker 3: was angry because the rocks heart and it woke up
Speaker 3: my daughter, like it irritated me. I'm like, what the
Speaker 3: heck is out there doing this? And then just yeah,
Speaker 3: I was frozen for a second and like my heart sank,
Speaker 3: like I just sat there and I'm.
Speaker 2: Like like shaking.
Speaker 3: I'm like what do I do? And my daughter like
Speaker 3: looked up from her tablet. She's looking at me like
Speaker 3: she's terrified, and I'm like, immediately, I just picked up
Speaker 3: my phone and called nine one one, like I yeah,
Speaker 3: but it froze me for a good few seconds.
Speaker 1: Was everyone okay after being hit by the rocks?
Speaker 3: So yeah, it just woke my daughter up for a
Speaker 3: minute and she like grabbed her head and she's like oh,
Speaker 3: and I'm like it's okay, go back to sleep, and.
Speaker 2: She went back to sleep, and yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1: How is that that is good? How has this affected
Speaker 1: you regarding Bigfoot after or living through this experience?
Speaker 2: Like I said, at first, I was so terrified.
Speaker 3: I remember telling the cop I was like, I'm never
Speaker 3: coming camping again, which is crazy because, like I said,
Speaker 3: I was raised at the lake. I'm a camping girl
Speaker 3: where fishing people like we are all always out in nature.
Speaker 3: So it really shook me up to where I was like,
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm well, for sure, I'm never going
Speaker 3: camping with just me and my girls again. We'll have like,
Speaker 3: you know, my father or a mel with us or
Speaker 3: something like, We're not ever going camping solo again. But
Speaker 3: I'm actually not scared now, Like now that I've read
Speaker 3: about bigfoot and I've you know, TikTok and your podcasts
Speaker 3: and everything have been like a lot of help. Seeing
Speaker 3: just my family, they're like, you're crazy, you know, like
Speaker 3: you know, my dad was like it was probably a tree,
Speaker 3: that fella, And I'm like no, like they're not bigfoot believers,
Speaker 3: so they they're like okay, you know, and I'm like, no,
Speaker 3: like seriously, I'm a bigfoot believer. Now there is something
Speaker 3: out there, And after reading all the accounts and stuff
Speaker 3: and especially finding out I actually, in my readings found
Speaker 3: out that where this event happened, there's actually people say
Speaker 3: there's like a known bigfoot out there, and there's other
Speaker 3: accounts in this area, you know, of stories. So I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: I'm not alone, like there's other people out there who
Speaker 3: have had this experience.
Speaker 2: But if anything.
Speaker 3: Now I'm intrigued, Like I'm like, okay, that's kind of cool,
Speaker 3: you know, Like it was Gary, and I don't know
Speaker 3: that I ever want to be face to face with
Speaker 3: him again, But I believe people's stories now and it's intriguing.
Speaker 3: It's actually interesting to me. And no, we are not
Speaker 3: alone on this planet. Like that's something I am very
Speaker 3: certain about now.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely. So where did you end up finding more
Speaker 1: information about this area and bigfoot encounters?
Speaker 2: There was? It was on YouTube, I guess.
Speaker 3: I just started googling and youtubing bigfoot encounters like tink
Speaker 3: Killer Oklahoma, and just anything I found on Google I
Speaker 3: would click on. But the one story that I remember
Speaker 3: was this lady who I guess she had made this
Speaker 3: story back in twenty twelve, but she would spend time
Speaker 3: growing up out there with her grandmother and it was
Speaker 3: in the Gore area, and her grandmother was fully aware
Speaker 3: of this bigfoot and she started seeing it when she
Speaker 3: grew up, and they had a little encounter where the
Speaker 3: bigfoot I guess, beat on the door and like bowed
Speaker 3: the metal door in half. So that was a crazy story.
Speaker 3: I'm glad nothing like that happened to me. That would
Speaker 3: freak me out. But yeah, so just.
Speaker 2: Hearing stories like that, I'm like, oh my god, Bigfoot
Speaker 2: is real.
Speaker 1: So after hearing something like that where you know that's
Speaker 1: kind of a very intense encounter as well, how does
Speaker 1: that then make you feel like you have no fear
Speaker 1: regarding the situation.
Speaker 3: I mean, I just don't think. I think it's more
Speaker 3: of like knowing or reading all these other encounters, Like
Speaker 3: that's really what helped me, because I'm not fearful. Now
Speaker 3: there it is. You know, it has been brought to light.
Speaker 3: There's so many stories about it. And then I researched
Speaker 3: the BFRO, the Bigfoot Research Organization, and they have like
Speaker 3: hundreds of encounters like on their website, and so just
Speaker 3: reading through those and the ones from Oklahoma and seeing
Speaker 3: how many reports are made, it just doesn't scare me
Speaker 3: because I know I'm not the only one, you know,
Speaker 3: And it does give explanation to what that noise was.
Speaker 3: It's the only thing that I feel like could be
Speaker 3: explained from it. You know, it wasn't a gunshot, even
Speaker 3: though it sounded like it wasn't a tree falling, Like,
Speaker 3: there was nothing else to explain it. So I feel
Speaker 3: like it truly was a Bigfoot, and just yeah, knowing
Speaker 3: that other people have had this experience in the same
Speaker 3: region and around there, I'm not scared anymore, you know.
Speaker 2: And now I'm not saying that I'm.
Speaker 3: Gonna go out there and camp again like solo, but
Speaker 3: I'm not scared, you know, anymore. And if anything were
Speaker 3: to happen in the future, I feel like like I
Speaker 3: feel like we had warnings. I feel like that Bigfoot
Speaker 3: now looking back, I feel like he was trying to
Speaker 3: warn us with all the sticks breaking and like the
Speaker 3: whistling and everything that we had been hearing. I feel like, maybe,
Speaker 3: you know, that was a warning. And I feel like
Speaker 3: the biggest mistake I probably made, which I don't know
Speaker 3: if this makes a difference for Bigfoot or not, but
Speaker 3: I feel like when I shut down all the lights
Speaker 3: at the campsite, I feel like maybe I should have
Speaker 3: never done that. I feel like maybe I should have
Speaker 3: left some lights going or something. I don't know, if
Speaker 3: that gave you know, more power to him to come
Speaker 3: over there, maybe more, you know whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an interesting thing to think about. And also
Speaker 1: you have the the point that you had, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: you playing some kind of games on electronics, So that
Speaker 1: must that might have been a thing where it's like
Speaker 1: maybe the sound, you know, was there's some curiosity there,
Speaker 1: or maybe it was a thing where like they heard
Speaker 1: the sound and they're like time to go.
Speaker 3: To bed.
Speaker 1: Through theacks that yet, But it's just it's it's very
Speaker 1: very interesting. Do you think you would ever be interested
Speaker 1: in getting to the point where you actually go out
Speaker 1: and try to have another big foot encounter yourself or
Speaker 1: you're more prepared.
Speaker 2: So both. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3: Hanobia, Oklahoma is known for the most big foot encounters,
Speaker 3: I guess, or one of them, and we are big
Speaker 3: Airbnb stairs. We love that part of Oklahoma, So between
Speaker 3: Broke and bo Hanobia Tinkiler, we're always getting airbnbs and
Speaker 3: or chant camping in that area. And so there's actually
Speaker 3: been two times since this event that I've been out
Speaker 3: in that area at an Airbnb and different airbnbs.
Speaker 2: One was in Berkenbo and then.
Speaker 3: We were out at like Tinkiller last week for the
Speaker 3: beast Master Classic that they had going on. So both
Speaker 3: of those times I did go outside during nighttime and
Speaker 3: I sat around the fire and I had my kids
Speaker 3: and their dad was with us, and so.
Speaker 2: We had some people out there.
Speaker 3: But I tried to wander off by myself and just
Speaker 3: sit around the fire and kind of see if anything.
Speaker 2: You know, was gonna happen.
Speaker 3: But nothing happened, and so I'm like, okay, so I
Speaker 3: just went inside. But it was spooky. But I also
Speaker 3: read that like most people who have encounters have encounters again,
Speaker 3: so that's kind of what I was trying to do
Speaker 3: with that situation. And since I do go out there frequently,
Speaker 3: like I probably will try that again, but nothing like
Speaker 3: has happened or anything.
Speaker 1: But keep it. I mean, yeah, you're correct, but the
Speaker 1: first encounter only happened in April, right, yes, of this year,
Speaker 1: so it's still still very real. Yeah, it'd be very
Speaker 1: interesting to hear what might happen in the future. Sometimes
Speaker 1: things like this tend to follow a certain path. It'd
Speaker 1: be interesting, you know, to hear from you if things
Speaker 1: do continue to happen. You're more than welcome to reach
Speaker 1: back out or if you have any questions about, hey,
Speaker 1: this certain thing started to happen, and definitely try to
Speaker 1: answer any of those for you too, because sometimes some
Speaker 1: weird stuff will start to happen. After people have an encounter.
Speaker 2: So that's good tonight.
Speaker 1: Okay, nothing to be freaked out about, but just you know,
Speaker 1: you never know, right, so but here to help. So
Speaker 1: thank you for hanging out today, Presley. Was there anything
Speaker 1: else that you needed that you would like to share
Speaker 1: about the experience or do you think we were able
Speaker 1: to cover all of it today?
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, I think we covered it all. Thank you
Speaker 2: for listening.
Speaker 3: I'm finally glad to like talk to someone about it,
Speaker 3: because you know, when people don't believe in Bigfoot, it's
Speaker 3: really hard to like, you know, talk about it. So
Speaker 3: just having someone to talk about and share this story
Speaker 3: with has been nice.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate it, yes, ma'am, And you have a
Speaker 1: great rest of your day. And have you checked out
Speaker 1: the the Bigfoot Festival in Henobi at all?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: I actually heard that they stopped doing that and I
Speaker 3: researched it after this whole thing happened and I got
Speaker 3: into big fit. Yeah, and I really wanted to go,
Speaker 3: but I heard they don't do it anymore.
Speaker 1: They do, Yeah, they're still doing it, they do, just
Speaker 1: different owners.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's this October, so check it out this October.
Speaker 2: Okay, cool, I'll check it out definitely.
Speaker 1: Thank you awesome. Well you have a great rest of
Speaker 1: your day and maybe we will chat again in the future.
Speaker 1: Have a good one, all.
Speaker 2: Right, you too, Thank you. Bye.
Speaker 4: Hi. My name is Nadine and I wanted to share
Speaker 4: a story from the late nineties. I was a Girl
Speaker 4: Scout leader and I took my troop two troops to
Speaker 4: Carnation to camp, and in the middle of the night,
Speaker 4: I was awoken. I had this really weird, uneasy feeling,
Speaker 4: and I heard this sound that was not anything I've
Speaker 4: ever known before, just howling, and it was so loud.
Speaker 4: And I heard what sounded like rustling and you know,
Speaker 4: shaking of the ground around our cabins. And it was
Speaker 4: a Girl Scout camp, so they had all these cabins
Speaker 4: that were just wood structures that we would go in
Speaker 4: and sleep inside. When I heard that sound, it course
Speaker 4: startled me. It was so loud. It was not a
Speaker 4: mountain lion, it was not a bear, it wasn't a cougar,
Speaker 4: it wasn't any other animal that I knew, and it
Speaker 4: shook me. It scared me. I knew something wasn't right,
Speaker 4: and so I got up and looked around and made
Speaker 4: sure all the girls that were in my cabin were
Speaker 4: safe and okay, they were asleep, and I was I'm
Speaker 4: a Christian, so I just started praying, praying around our
Speaker 4: campground and praying around our cabins. But I kept I
Speaker 4: heard it. I heard it twice and I had never
Speaker 4: forgotten this sound, and I didn't really say anything about it.
Speaker 4: I did ask the other girl scout leaders if they
Speaker 4: had heard anything in the night, and they were sleep.
Speaker 4: They didn't it never, it never woke them. I got
Speaker 4: home and told my husband about it and some other friends,
Speaker 4: and that was the last of it until my brother
Speaker 4: Brian started talking to me about Bigfoot, about sasquash and
Speaker 4: that they had captured a recording of it, of a sound.
Speaker 4: And when he sent that to me and I listened
Speaker 4: to it, I nearly hit the floor. It was the
Speaker 4: exact sound that I had heard that night in Carnation.
Speaker 4: That was one time I heard them. There was another
Speaker 4: time in the early two thousands. We had just moved
Speaker 4: to our other house. We bought a house and we
Speaker 4: moved to it. I lived on San Juan Island, Friday Harbor,
Speaker 4: and we lived there for thirty years and my husband
Speaker 4: and I were asleep and we woke up hearing what
Speaker 4: sounded like a woman being brutally, brutally tortured and killed.
Speaker 4: It was just awful. And our house sat up on
Speaker 4: a hill and it was over the valley and it
Speaker 4: was so loud and so unnerving. We got up, we
Speaker 4: went outside and we could hear it, and it was
Speaker 4: like vibrating through us. And I said, I called the
Speaker 4: police in the middle of the night and let them
Speaker 4: know something was wrong, that it sounded like a woman
Speaker 4: being tortured, and yet it was loud, so loud, that
Speaker 4: how can this be? And they said that unless I
Speaker 4: knew the exact location, there's nothing they can do, which
Speaker 4: I couldn't pinpoint the location because the valley right below
Speaker 4: us was a long valley off of Beaverton Valley Road,
Speaker 4: and it was there were sheep farms right there. And
Speaker 4: that was another sound that I will never forget, and
Speaker 4: because it actually vibrated and resonated in me and through me,
Speaker 4: and my husband was he heard it too. He dismissed it.
Speaker 4: I never forgot it. He has since passed away. He's
Speaker 4: been gone now for many years.
