WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.680 You're listening to Big Foot Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron. 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:06.480 Tonight's account comes from a mom who thought a midweek 3 00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:09.640 camp out at Lake ten Killer in Oklahoma would be 4 00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.919 the perfect escape, but she was about to find out 5 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:16.559 that that was not the case, that the forest would 6 00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:22.359 be coming alive in ways that she neither expected or wanted. 7 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:27.280 This is a story, Presley, a mother who had to 8 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.920 dial nine one one, and this episode will go over 9 00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.880 why she had to do that. To stay with us, 10 00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:36.320 all right, Big for Society got the privilege of talking 11 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.320 to Presley today. Presley is an individual I got connected 12 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.920 to over on the TikTok platform and she's on the 13 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:47.799 program today to share about an encounter that happened in 14 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:52.840 the state of Oklahoma. Her and her kids were present. 15 00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.320 I believe for that. So, Presley, how's it going today? 16 00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:57.039 Hey good? 17 00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:01.280 How are you doing great? Doing great? I'm excited to 18 00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.159 have you on the show today. You get some really 19 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:10.159 interesting connections over there on TikTok, and this takes place 20 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:15.239 down in Oklahoma, which definitely has some great stories come 21 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.120 out of there. But you know, you're welcome to take 22 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.040 us back to what was going on when you had 23 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.439 this encounter where you were, feel free to take us 24 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:27.840 back to that point in time. 25 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:31.280 Okay, So we were. 26 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.640 It was my daughters and I and we were camping 27 00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.400 at Lake Timillar State Park, which is near the dam 28 00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:41.560 area of the lake. And we weren't strangers to this lake. 29 00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.319 I actually grew up on this lake, but it is 30 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.799 about like two hours where we lived. So we go 31 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.480 out there, we go camping from time to time, but 32 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.959 we've never stayed like in this part of the lake, 33 00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:54.239 the state park part, So that was new to us, 34 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.799 and it was recommended from a friend that we know 35 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.000 to go out there and stay. So I homeschooled my 36 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:02.799 children and I work from home, so we have the 37 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.879 privilege of packing up midweek and going out there and camping. 38 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.919 And that's what we did. And this was April ninth 39 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.840 when it happened, and we got out there at about 40 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.199 ten am. And April ninth, I don't really feel like 41 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:18.800 is like camping season for a lot of people in 42 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.360 Oklahoma during that time of year, and we were the 43 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.400 only campers in the entire state park that we had seen. 44 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.199 We drove around, we walked around, and there was nobody 45 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.639 there besides like the state park employees and us, So 46 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:33.599 that was kind of crazy, but it was really cool 47 00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.120 actually because we got to do the trails by ourselves, 48 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:37.680 so we just had the whole place to ourselves and 49 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:41.240 we walked around. But when we got there, we got 50 00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:44.759 there at like i'd say ten ten thirty am, and 51 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.599 we set up our tent, we set up camp and 52 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.199 all that, and we liked to paint rocks, like we're 53 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.919 in a little rock painting group, So we painted some 54 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.319 rocks and we went fishing, and we went hiking the 55 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.599 trails and nothing weird like was happening during this time. 56 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:00.199 But when we came back. 57 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.000 From walking the trails, we went down and we went 58 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.280 fishing for probably like an hour or so, and then 59 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.800 we went back up to camp after and we started 60 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.800 a fire. And that would have been around like probably 61 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:15.120 like five PM. But we started the fire and that's 62 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.639 when I started hearing things. But I also want to 63 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.680 say I never believed in bigfoot until this happened, and 64 00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:24.199 I wasn't even a bigfoot believer like during this event. 65 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:26.520 It wasn't until like the day after when I started 66 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.120 like thinking about the story and stuff, and then I 67 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.919 came across a bigfoot thing on TikTok and it kind 68 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.280 of matched my story, and so that's kind of why 69 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.439 I feel like it was probably a bigfoot. There's no 70 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:41.479 other explanation. You'll you'll see. But so anyways, we started 71 00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:45.240 the fire and we started to hear like stake's break 72 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:50.280 and like these little like whistles and stuff. But it 73 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.879 was weird like where our tent was set up, we 74 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.240 were kind of surrounded by the lake, but on the 75 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:57.479 and I sent you the picture so you can see 76 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.639 what I'm talking about, but like on the right side 77 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.560 there was a forest area and trails and stuff, and 78 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.680 that's where we had went exploring through that day. So 79 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.080 everything was pretty much clear around us. No one was 80 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:11.599 around us, but this forest side where the trails were, 81 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.240 it's like where we started hearing a lot of stuff 82 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.319 go on. But the whistles and the sticks breaking, like 83 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.199 it was like it was catching our attention because it 84 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.319 was like really noticeable. 85 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:21.839 It kept happening. 86 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:23.519 It was catching our attention, but I didn't really think 87 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.600 nothing of it, like it's the woods over there, you know, 88 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.079 it could be anything really, So but as the sun 89 00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.560 like started going down, it started the whistles sounded like 90 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.800 they were getting closer and the sticks breaking were like 91 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.040 getting really closer. 92 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.240 So anyways, we still weren't paying it much. Mind. I 93 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:40.759 do want to mention that. 94 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.360 Earlier that day, we had ordered Uber out to the lake, 95 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:48.360 out to our campsite, and the Uber driver like had 96 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:52.319 a hard time finding our campsite and stuff, and he 97 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.000 was kind of like angry. I guess that he couldn't 98 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.360 find the campsite and he was like, don't. He was 99 00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:59.199 kind of really intimidating, and it was just really mad 100 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.839 about the whole dropping the food off situation, and so 101 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.639 that encounter kind of had me kind of nervous. So 102 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.160 after we had our fire going and stuff and we 103 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.560 put it out, when we went in to camp for 104 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.000 the night, I decided that since we were the only 105 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:15.879 ones in the park and there was no one else around, 106 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.279 I was gonna like put out the fire and make 107 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:19.920 our camp real dark because I didn't want anyone to 108 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:21.720 be able to see our campsite, just me and my 109 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:27.040 daughter's camping. So when all this happened, I was thinking 110 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.839 that these noises were maybe from like this Uber guy 111 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.759 coming back, or Okay, I'm just I'm getting ahead of myself, 112 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:33.680 so let me slow down. 113 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:35.000 Okay, So. 114 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.360 We put the fire out and then we got into 115 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.000 the tent, and two my daughters are pretty young, so 116 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.040 the two youngest ones, they were already in the tent 117 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.920 asleep about seven, seven thirty pm. And my oldest daughter 118 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.160 and I were cleaning up the camp, putting out the fire, 119 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:51.800 you know, getting everything situated so we. 120 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:52.680 Could get inside. 121 00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.920 And as soon as we got inside the tent and 122 00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.319 turned the lights off, that's when we started hearing stuff. 123 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.480 Now earlier when I had mentioned we were painting rocks, 124 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.079 we were painting the rocks and then we hid them 125 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:08.240 along the trail. So when we got in the camp, we, 126 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.839 like I said, we were the only ones in the campsite. 127 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.920 And this part of Oklahoma is straight river rocks, so 128 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.240 like if someone were walking around your campsite, you would 129 00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.639 hear everything. Those river rocks, they make a lot of 130 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.160 noise when they're being walked on, so you can hear everything. Well, 131 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:25.480 I wasn't hearing like anyone walk around our campsite or 132 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.839 anything like that, but there were rocks being thrown at 133 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.399 our tent and like around our tent, and I'm like, 134 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.959 so we're in the tent, it's pitch black outside my 135 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.480 two of my daughters are sleeping. One of my daughters 136 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.959 is on her tablet playing Roadblocks, and I'm sitting on 137 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.720 there on my phone playing. But I hear like these 138 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:44.839 rocks that are being thrown, and I'm like, I'm asking 139 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:46.360 my oldest daughter and I'm like, do you hear that? And 140 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.040 she's like, yeah, I hear that. And I'm like, that's 141 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.279 that's weird. Like we're the only ones in the campsite. 142 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:50.839 What is that? 143 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.079 And so we kind of like just try to let 144 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.680 it go. Didn't really pay it any mind. And uh, 145 00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:00.120 after I did hear those rocks, I got up and 146 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.399 I kind of cracked the tent windows a little bit 147 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:04.160 so I could like peek out and see if I 148 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.720 could see anything out there. And it was pitch black, 149 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.959 but the moonlight, the moonlight had it pretty lit up so. 150 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:11.519 You could see. Well. 151 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.720 I had the tent windows cracked and I was peeking 152 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.199 out there, and I didn't see anything. There was a 153 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.519 stray cat out there, like eating off the ground and 154 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.360 stuff my girls had thrown like some leftover hot dog 155 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:25.519 out there, and so the stray cat was out there eating. 156 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.720 But I knew that, you know, that wasn't the throwing 157 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.920 rock noise. I didn't know what the throwing rock noise was, 158 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:33.399 but anyways, I just kind of like zipped up the 159 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.319 tent windows a little bit more and sat back down. Well, 160 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.480 probably five or ten more minutes went by, and we 161 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.160 heard something outside the tent. So you know when you 162 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.639 steak a tent in the ground, like you you know, 163 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.600 you hammer the steaks in there. Well, it being river rock, 164 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:50.240 I couldn't get the steaks all the way in the ground, 165 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:51.800 so they were kind of like sticking up out of 166 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:54.399 the ground, and I had put bigger rocks over them 167 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.759 so like no one would trip over the stakes. Well, 168 00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:59.720 one of those rocks I could hear like on the 169 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.360 court it had gotten knocked over. 170 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.439 And so immediately my heart dropped. I'm like, there's something 171 00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:06.319 outside this tent, Like I do not know what is 172 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:07.199 outside this tent. 173 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.600 Like I'm freaking out, but maybe it's a raccoon, you know, 174 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.759 That's like where my head is at. But also at 175 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:13.759 the same time, I'm like, what if that uber driver, 176 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.279 like me being a paranoid single mom out there, I'm like, 177 00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.639 what if that uber driver came back and it's him, 178 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:20.600 Like I was freaking out, I didn't know what was 179 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.480 going on. So I'm sitting there and I'm just kind 180 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.879 of listening to these noises. Well then so I heard 181 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:28.839 that rock fall over and that was like towards the 182 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.240 front of the tent. Well then it got quiet for 183 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.120 just a few seconds, and then I heard like a 184 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.159 brushing on the other side of the tent, like something 185 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:38.080 brushed up on the other side of the tent, and 186 00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:42.639 it was it was tall enough to where I knew, like, 187 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:45.200 that's not a raccoon, Like raccoons are not that tall. 188 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:46.559 Like I don't know what that is out there. 189 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.039 But at this point, I'm like trying not to freak 190 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:50.679 out in front of my daughter, but internally I'm like 191 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.080 freaking out. I don't know what's going on. So I 192 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.320 sat there for a few more minutes. And after that, 193 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:57.559 after I heard the brushing, I got like, I got 194 00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.039 so scared. I got up and I looked out of 195 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.840 the tent windows again. And I'm probably looking out of 196 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:03.919 the tent windows for like ten or fifteen minutes, and 197 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.600 I hear nothing, I see nothing. I'm like so confused. 198 00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:10.440 I don't know what's going on. So then I'm like, okay, 199 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.039 you know what it's been a long day, like we've 200 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:13.679 been out all day. We I just need to lay 201 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:14.320 down and go to sleep. 202 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.120 I don't know what that is. I'm freaking myself out. 203 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:19.840 So I'm sitting there and like I said, I work 204 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.000 from home, so I'm checking some emails before I go 205 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.039 to bed, and I'm leaned up against the tent. So 206 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:26.559 like if you were to be on the outside of 207 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:29.000 the tent looking like you could see, probably it bulged 208 00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:31.080 out me leaning on it, you know. So I'm like 209 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.600 leaning on the side of this tent, checking emails before 210 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.519 I go to bed, and all of a sudden, the 211 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.720 loudest like there's no explanation for like what this could 212 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.440 have been. The loudest bank, like if you were to 213 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.159 pick up a car and slam it on the ground. 214 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.320 I know that sounds so dramatic, but that's. 215 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:51.120 That's the best I can explain it, like the loudest bank. 216 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:55.080 And it was followed by like an impact of rocks 217 00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:58.000 being thrown up at the tent well. The rocks hit 218 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.080 my back, and also where my young was sleeping along 219 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.200 the tent wall, it woke her up out of her 220 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.440 sleep because the rocks hit her in the head and 221 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.919 it was like these rocks hurt. It was whatever that 222 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.879 impact was was so powerful, and immediately like now I'm 223 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:13.240 freaking out, like my heart's racing. 224 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:13.879 I don't know what to do. 225 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:15.840 Immediately, I grabbed the phone and I called nine one 226 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.080 one because I know this is dramatic, but I'm like, 227 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:19.639 oh my god, what if that uber guy came back 228 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:20.879 and he's like shooting at us? 229 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:22.399 Like is it a gunshot? 230 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:24.879 Like if you were to shoot a pistol off next 231 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.360 to your ear, like that's probably how loud it was. 232 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.159 But I grew up around guns and I knew. 233 00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:31.639 I'm like, that wasn't like that couldn't have been a 234 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.440 gun shot unless like its just nothing made sense. I'm like, 235 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.120 what was that? And I've told people about it and 236 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:38.840 they were like, well, maybe it was a tree branch 237 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:42.039 that fell or and I'm like no, Like, for one, 238 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:43.639 there wasn't even a tree. There was a tree at 239 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:45.240 the camp, but not by her tent right there, Like 240 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.759 there's no explanation for what this loud of impact was. 241 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:51.960 And also the force behind those rocks being thrown like 242 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:55.279 it hurt. So immediately I called nine one one, and 243 00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:56.519 I'm like I didn't know what to tell him. 244 00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:57.320 I'm like, Hi, I think. 245 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.080 Someone shooting at my tent, Like I'm not sure what's 246 00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:00.799 going on. Can you send it officer out here. I 247 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:02.440 just want to pack up and leave, like I just 248 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:04.200 I need it lit a like I want to officer 249 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:06.559 out here while I pack up and leave, please, And 250 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:09.960 so they're like yeah, and you know, asking me questions. 251 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.679 I was on the phone with the lady and she 252 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:14.000 was like, do you want me to stay on the 253 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:14.960 phone with you until. 254 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:15.519 The deputies get there? 255 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:17.600 And I was like yes, please, And so I had 256 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:18.759 it on the phone the whole time, and I'm like, 257 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.679 I'm going to look out of the windows, like while 258 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.840 we're waiting on him. And so I'm looking out of 259 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.120 the windows after that, like freaked out, and I'm still 260 00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:28.360 not seeing anything. And at this point, I'm like, I'm mad, 261 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.320 I'm scared. I'm confused, Like I have no clue what 262 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.639 that was, what's going on. It's just us out here. 263 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:36.919 And that's when the deputy or the dispatch lady on 264 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.399 the phone she goes, well, I was going to see 265 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.080 if one of the park rangers were there, but they 266 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:42.879 all left at five, and. 267 00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:43.840 I was like, oh my god. 268 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.399 So like We're literally the only ones in the state 269 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:49.240 park right now, like and so that really just totally 270 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:53.279 scared me. And it's a really rural area, you know, 271 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:56.320 so like probably fifteen or twenty minutes later the deputies 272 00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.320 show up. And by this time, probably about five minutes 273 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.360 before the deputies show up, I got out of the tent. 274 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:04.799 I just I turned on every lanner and I had 275 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:07.559 I turned on my car alarm, so whatever was out there, 276 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.279 like whoever was out there, I came out with an 277 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.480 entrance out of that tent, you know, like I lit 278 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:14.320 everything up, I set off the car alarm, and I 279 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.679 didn't see anything. And I went back to the spot 280 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:19.799 to where the impact was, and there was nothing there, 281 00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:23.960 like nothing there. So I packed up my stuff and 282 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:25.639 the kids as quick as we could and we got 283 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.600 out of there, and we got home, you know, late 284 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:30.440 that night and that next day. And I'm sitting there 285 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:32.080 like that next day and I'm thinking about it, and 286 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:35.320 I'm scrolling on TikTok and I run across this posts 287 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.679 that's these girls that were having rocks thrown at him, 288 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:40.399 like as they were walking down a hiking trail, and 289 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.279 I'm like, wait, we were having rocks thrown at us, 290 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.639 you know, like and so then I started, you know, 291 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:47.840 I clicked the little thing on TikTok and says bigfoot 292 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:50.279 at the bottom, a little search thing, and it started. 293 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:52.879 I ran across this post from this girl that was 294 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.919 like things that entice Bigfoot, and it's things like fishing 295 00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:01.639 and starting fires, and I so read. I'm Cherokee and 296 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.000 Chalktaw citizen, so I know the stories like of our 297 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.519 tribal war and stuff of Bigfoot, but I never really 298 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.399 thought anything of it. But you know, it's like there 299 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.679 was talks from the Chalktaw tribe about how they liked 300 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:15.600 women and children, and I'm like, oh my god. It 301 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.679 was just me and my children out there camping. So 302 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.240 all these things started to like kind of come about, 303 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:24.360 and I'm like, what if that was like a Bigfoot experience, 304 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:28.840 Like there's no that impact. And plus the sticks breaking, 305 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.799 the whistling, and we did on and off throughout the 306 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.200 whole day. It was extremely windy that day. We kept 307 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:37.639 getting like nasty smells and my daughters were like blaming 308 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.120 each other and stuff that I seen that's like a 309 00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:43.679 Bigfoot thing, like Bigfoot skinks, I guess. So anyways, all 310 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:47.320 these little clues I started reading about just kind of 311 00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:49.679 went with my story really well. And I don't know, 312 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:51.879 I don't know, but I just wanted to share that 313 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:54.960 because that was intense and I still there's no explanation 314 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:56.080 for what that impact was. 315 00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:57.679 I've thought about it every day since. 316 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:03.279 You know, Wow, that is such an intense encounter. I mean, 317 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:08.120 I'm you handled yourself really well.

But still at the 325 00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:27.600 same time, you got to think about stuff like that. 326 00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:31.399 Yeah, totally, and also too, like there was no like, 327 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.639 there was no explanation. I know, it wasn't a gunshot, 328 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:36.879 but it was like as loud as one, if not louder, 329 00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:38.039 and then the rock impact. 330 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:38.879 I just don't know. 331 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:43.159 So did you end up leaving before the deputies got there? 332 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:43.360 Then? 333 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:45.200 No? 334 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.120 Uh, they actually like stayed there while we got all 335 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.000 packed up and stuff.

But he kept 371 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:18.960 looking over, like off in the woods and stuff, and 372 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:21.480 he didn't have much to say. And I wouldn't put 373 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:25.000 it past you, like if he actually was thinking maybe 374 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.759 bigfoot too, now that I know what I know now 375 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:32.679 and remembering like his you know, demeanor and stuff, he probably. 376 00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:33.559 Thought it was a big foot too. 377 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.200 But he was definitely interested in, you know, trying to 378 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:39.960 figure the situation out. 379 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.679 He's I would guess, you know, being an individual that's 380 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:47.759 done that for a few years, he's probably heard other 381 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:48.919 stories as well. 382 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:53.159 Yeah, can you. 383 00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:57.679 Is not to be weird, but can you describe what 384 00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:01.039 the weird smells were? Like they like anything else that 385 00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:01.799 you smelled before. 386 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:05.680 Yeah, my kids were like, ew, who's farting? Who keeps farting? 387 00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:07.799 Like it was just a it was just like a 388 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.240 foul you know smell, Like yeah that we kept smelling 389 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:13.720 and yeah, we didn't know who it was or what 390 00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:19.440 it was. We were blaming each other, so gotcha it was. 391 00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:23.240 I will say when the rock that I had like 392 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:25.599 leaned up on the stake, when that was kicked over 393 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:28.839 and like during the brushing of the tent part, like 394 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:31.839 you could smell it then you could smell it pretty 395 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:35.319 strong then, And yeah, that was that. But I didn't 396 00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:37.240 at that time, like I didn't know anything about bigfood. 397 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:43.319 This would have been probably when you were packing up. 398 00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:47.880 But were you able to see the rocks that were 399 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:52.160 thrown at the tent? Were they the same rocks that 400 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:54.680 you had been painting or totally different ones? 401 00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:57.599
