Speaker 1: Using opinions expressed by the guests that Sasquatch Experience do

2
00:00:07,679 --> 00:00:10,720
not necessarily reflect the opinion of the host, sponsors, or

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,960
affiliates of the Sasquatch Experience. As always, listener discretion is advised.

4
00:00:18,679 --> 00:00:22,440
We got some one or something crawling around out her.

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,320
See what it was? Was it a person or an animal?

6
00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:27,239
Or I can't go.

7
00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: I know that my underweight came on and I did

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:30,679
that with a glimp.

9
00:00:31,079 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: The thing running across.

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 3: The yard a goodbye man or company.

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,399
Speaker 1: Woked by the man. I don't know what it was.

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,119
Speaker 4: Back in two thousand and five, we set out with

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,119
one goal to give voice to the mystery and those

14
00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:50,039
who pursue it. Sasquatch Experience Podcast has been your go

15
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:53,719
to source for serious Bigfoot discussion, where we separate fact

16
00:00:53,719 --> 00:00:58,320
from folklore. Always grounded in research and respect. We've interviewed

17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,359
eyewitnesses experts since to the like because understanding Bigfoot isn't

18
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:06,840
just about belief, It's about the journey. Nearly two decades later,

19
00:01:06,879 --> 00:01:11,079
we're still chasing shadows and sharing stories. The search never stopped.

20
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,879
Welcome to the Sasquatch Experience.

21
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: Hello, get somebody out here.

22
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,079
Speaker 1: Well and good evening.

23
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: Everyone, Welcome to the Sasquatch Experience for Monday. I've been

24
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:45,519
worried at sixteen, twenty twenty six. It is President's Day, right,

25
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:51,359
it is the federal holiday that if you're a banker

26
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,359
or a government employee, got to enjoy and hopefully that

27
00:01:54,519 --> 00:01:56,480
sets you up for a good time to be here

28
00:01:56,519 --> 00:01:59,599
with us tonight on the Sasquatch Experience. I'm sewn the

29
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,920
fortune out Forker. That's Van James Baker is right underneath

30
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,080
and tonight's guest filmmaker, an investigator who has spent the

31
00:02:08,159 --> 00:02:11,120
last decade deep in the woods of the Kettle Moraine.

32
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,560
He is the creator of the Finding Jay documentary series,

33
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,159
a researcher of the Wisconsin Sasquatch, and a man who

34
00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:20,879
believes that to find the truth, you have to stop

35
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,000
looking and start listening. Our guest tonight, welcome our friend

36
00:02:25,159 --> 00:02:28,960
Jay Bachochin. Jay, thanks for stopping by Sasquatch Experience this week.

37
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,599
Speaker 5: Well, thank you guys for having me on special.

38
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: Hello to everybody there.

39
00:02:33,759 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 5: Sean Dance and even Baker who won everything less.

40
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: I know the luckiest I know he's going to go

41
00:02:43,439 --> 00:02:46,199
into the Old Don Tribe. Okay, okay, Okay, so.

42
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: You had a lucky rabbit swoot.

43
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: I'm an even guy.

44
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 6: Okay, So like I want, I want some money, and.

45
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: My roof broke and it just about covered what they

46
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,120
needed for the route.

47
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a personal problem thing.

48
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 3: So tonight is not a home improvement show. We are

49
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:12,199
catching up with our buddy Jay. The last time we

50
00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:15,240
were all together was at the Pennsylvania Bigfoot Camping Weekend,

51
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,400
which was a great time. Always a great time done

52
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,120
and Ben and Meadow is raising some money for some

53
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:23,439
good causes and just having fun being with our friends.

54
00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:25,919
These things are really like a family reunion when you

55
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,080
get a chance to get to them. It's such a

56
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,199
great camaraderie that shared between the group of researchers and Jay.

57
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,919
It's been years since we've been we've been friends. I mean,

58
00:03:35,919 --> 00:03:37,360
we go all the way back to having you on

59
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,360
Beyond the Edge Radio. Absolutely, the bio said ten years,

60
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,919
but I think it's been a little longer than that

61
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,759
that you've been exploring some of these strange and bizarre topic.

62
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,479
Speaker 5: Yes, since about twenty thirteen, so right, yeah, well thirteen

63
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,759
years now, right, yeh yeah, yeah, thirteen years now, so over.

64
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,759
Speaker 3: Right, and you have a unique approach, and we'll talk

65
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,159
about that in just a couple of minutes. Before we

66
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:00,240
dove in, though, did we have any news or we

67
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,080
needed to hit before we got this started. I jumped

68
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,360
right into the interview, which is unusual for me normally.

69
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,039
Speaker 1: I like, all right, giving some consideration to others.

70
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: Look, this happened very often, Jay Listen, I asked for

71
00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:16,279
one hour a week from these guys. Okay, one hour

72
00:04:16,319 --> 00:04:20,800
every other week, and so all great, guys, you do.

73
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,920
So what's on your minds, gentlemen? Before we get started

74
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,240
and we start rilling Jay, which is a new document

75
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,920
for coming up. Go ahead, James.

76
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:33,319
Speaker 6: And this spring, Lauren Coleman is finishing up his new

77
00:04:33,399 --> 00:04:34,439
Bigfoot Museum.

78
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: They have moved, they are updating the building.

79
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 6: I know that if you go on to his web,

80
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,600
you go on to his Facebook or the museum's Facebook,

81
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:46,399
they'll give you dates and things like that.

82
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: Man Fork are trying to get out.

83
00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:50,079
Speaker 3: There and the fall.

84
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 6: But just if you get a chance to go up

85
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,680
to see it. We saw that the old location. It

86
00:04:56,759 --> 00:04:59,519
was amazing. So you know, when he's got more square footage,

87
00:04:59,519 --> 00:05:01,639
it's going to be that much better. Yeah, we really

88
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,759
didn't have a great time when we went up to Portland.

89
00:05:03,879 --> 00:05:06,519
Speaker 3: I mean, aside from all the seafood we could eat

90
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,879
even coming from the sky, thank these eagles. We went

91
00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:14,720
to the International cryptis Vality Museum in Thompson's Point and

92
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,680
you know, it was nice. As we went in there,

93
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,680
I think it was Nate that was working the desk,

94
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,839
Nate Breslin, and recognized James and I and he called

95
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,600
Lauren and Louren was not even in the building, but

96
00:05:24,959 --> 00:05:27,480
got in his vehicle and drove to us and gave

97
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,240
us the personal tour of the museum, which was just

98
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:33,920
a great time. And there are things that he pulled

99
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,600
out of storage for me to look at that weren't

100
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,399
even on display because we got to take pictures. Yeah,

101
00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:41,600
I mean, we've been in this for so long. It

102
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,759
was great to spend the time of Louren and to

103
00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:47,120
speed the collection, which, like Baker said, I can only

104
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,720
imagine how much more this new place is going to

105
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,920
be filled up, because he had that old place pretty

106
00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:55,160
much packed in. And you get a chance to folks,

107
00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:58,199
get a chance. It's going to be in bangor Maine, right, James,

108
00:05:58,199 --> 00:06:00,240
It's not in Portland. It's going to be right moved

109
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,439
to bangor right and get a chance to get up

110
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:03,879
there and see it.

111
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: Bacon.

112
00:06:04,199 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 3: I plan on going at least at some point this year,

113
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,040
So that's going to be a great time. We've got

130
00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:57,439
I could keep my finger on the pulse.

131
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,959
Speaker 1: Well that's what it's all about.

132
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,439
Speaker 3: Stay in touch, you know it is. So now that

133
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,920
we've got the advance, did you have anything.

134
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: You know what, Jay, it dawned on me today that

135
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,240
it was pretty close to ten years ago that you

136
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:18,000
and myself went out to the Kettle Moraine. Yeah. I

137
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,959
was like, no, that was two months ago. But the

138
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,439
older we get, you know, the first of the time

139
00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:27,439
span gets, that was almost ten years ago, I'm like,

140
00:07:27,519 --> 00:07:32,519
come on, man, stop it. It was that. That was insane.

141
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:36,040
But yeah, we had an amazing time going out there,

142
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,839
and we had some really weird experiences happened to us,

143
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:46,000
and they'll stick with us. And fortunately for Jay and myself,

144
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,240
we were able to sit with Shannon on ITF radio

145
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:53,199
or into the Fray Radio and we did an interview

146
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,000
of all the weird entities that happened to us when

147
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,959
we were in the Kettle Moraine. But yeah, they stick

148
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,120
to me like this just happened a couple of weeks ago,

149
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,439
and I just I'm sorry, but really it was that

150
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,439
long ago. It doesn't seem like it.

151
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,519
Speaker 5: But we have established we have in years we haven't

152
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:15,199
we have an aged I mean it's awesome.

153
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: No, not at all, you have, not at all. I agree,

154
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:24,199
it's been like this. Yeah, we know since birth.

155
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: We understand I've been I was fatter, but yeah, that

156
00:08:29,399 --> 00:08:29,759
was it.

157
00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

158
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 3: Anyhow, okay, you're getting this kicked off on the right foot.

159
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: Jay.

160
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: Uh.

161
00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:37,799
Speaker 3: You know a question we always asked for folks that

162
00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:39,639
may not be familiar with you. How about tell did

163
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:42,159
you get started? And almost? You know, it's not a

164
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,759
not everybody becomes a bigfoot research or a paranormal investigator.

165
00:08:45,799 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 7: You know.

166
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 3: Some people become great bowlers, some people become athletes. You

167
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,679
took the trip and became a weirdo like the rest

168
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,759
of us. How did it happen?

169
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:58,799
Speaker 5: Well, it all began in nineteen sixty seven. No, hey,

170
00:08:58,919 --> 00:09:01,639
I'll tell you what though. It all started probably ten

171
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,440
years after that, my hometown in Lyndenhurst, Illinois, just being

172
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,720
able to see my mom taking my sister home from

173
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:12,200
a school of enters. Someone was a Friday night. I

174
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,600
remember my sister was a year and a half older

175
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,639
than I am. Comes to the house thing.

176
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: We're being invaded. We're being invaded.

177
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 5: It's about ten o'clock at night, and of course we

178
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,480
all go out there, my other two brothers, and we're

179
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:26,559
watching whatever this thing is in the sky. I would

180
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,240
classify as my first UFO sighting. It was low, it

181
00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:33,440
was spinning, but the biggest thing was the movement is

182
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,320
that as soon as it started spinning, it was like hovering.

183
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,120
You would blink out and be across the sky instantly,

184
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,320
I mean boom. So you know, you think of drones

185
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,279
of today and that nothing could move that fast. But

186
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,960
I think that's really what kind of started it because

187
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,600
my grandfather, who was kind of in the early chapters

188
00:09:52,639 --> 00:09:55,600
of move On in Chicago, we had a lot to

189
00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:57,440
talk about when I was a ten year old kid,

190
00:09:57,639 --> 00:10:00,320
you know, And I think I've always done that because

191
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,679
I've always was I was that pasty young kid down

192
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,519
in the basement during the summer, waiting for God's Dilla

193
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,039
to battle King Kong and black and white or color

194
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,600
the feature. So I was always into the not just paranormal,

195
00:10:14,639 --> 00:10:17,519
but supernatural, and of course you know that gets into

196
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:19,879
the eighties you had the Ghostbusters who didn't want to

197
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:22,720
bust the ghost and wear a proton pac and kind

198
00:10:22,759 --> 00:10:26,759
of investigate around. So I've always had that knack of well,

199
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:29,919
even back then, I didn't really call it finding your truth,

200
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,240
but I was looking for my own truth and being

201
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:38,240
influenced a lot by movies television going into the early

202
00:10:38,279 --> 00:10:42,519
two thousand with Paps Ghost Hunters the only paranormal show

203
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,960
that was on at that time, and it just so

204
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,120
happened to be at a time where I looked at

205
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,600
reality TV of saying is this real? I mean it

206
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,879
seemed real. I mean it pulled me in, but I

207
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:00,440
really wanted to know. And that's when we've formed our

208
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,919
own group in early two thousand and seven, Wisconsin Paranormal Investigators,

209
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,759
and we did. We got a website going. I mean,

210
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,639
it seemed like we're the first ones on the block

211
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,399
besides you know big and I know people have been

212
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:15,559
doing that, but we started getting hits of you know,

213
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,519
come in check out our house or you know, we

214
00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:20,799
didn't do the plugin police. We did start out in cemeteries,

215
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,000
but you know, we moved into like people's houses or

216
00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:28,799
businesses to investigate them, and just a lot of stuff

217
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,039
caught over, you know, over those years with some EVPs

218
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,600
didn't really know orbs. You know, it could be dust,

219
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,960
it could be bugs, a lot of things. So it's

220
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,519
more those experiences which now leads me into the Kennedy

221
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,720
end of the paranormal group where I started. I friended

222
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:55,279
Linda Godfrey early twenty eleven at a Chicago ghost conference seven,

223
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,080
I think it was, and I was able to friend

224
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,840
her and I really was interested in the beast of

225
00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:04,320
which Bray Road is just literally a fifteen minute drive

226
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,840
for my driveway, just a little bit up north. I'm

227
00:12:06,919 --> 00:12:10,799
there and that's when I started kind of just what

228
00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:14,159
I call patrolling, because you can't get out out of

229
00:12:14,759 --> 00:12:17,600
you know, your car. It's all privately owned farm land,

230
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,360
so you know you can drive it's a public road.

231
00:12:20,039 --> 00:12:22,159
But at the same time, I did a lot of patrolling.

232
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,000
Some of this patrolling led me up to the Kettle

233
00:12:25,039 --> 00:12:28,720
Moraine one evening and I remember who I was with,

234
00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:30,639
and it was about nine o'clock at night and I

235
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,440
Crisp October evening. We get out of the car, got

236
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:41,000
a crappy night vision camcorder, digital tape, and right there

237
00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:44,960
and we caught something that I'll never say. I'm an

238
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,919
outback jack, I'm not a tracker. I'm not an experienced woodsman.

239
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:49,799
Speaker 1: I have been.

240
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 5: I started getting a lot better, and I'm still learning

241
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,600
as I go now. But we caught something that just

242
00:12:55,639 --> 00:12:59,960
blew my mind. And it didn't sound canine. It sounded

243
00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:06,320
more of a primate or a simon, but also it

244
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,960
sounded like a person. It was kind of a mixture

245
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,120
of things. Is that because I'm constantly searching for my

246
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,879
truth that intrigued me. That's what pulled me in to

247
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,320
the world of Bigfoot. And this whole time did I

248
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,279
even mention that I even believed in Bigfoot. I've seen

249
00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:29,240
that the Mysterious Monsters movie in the seventies, and I thought, Patty,

250
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,440
come on, that's a guy in a suit walking away.

251
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,080
That was That's how I've been the whole time, seeing

252
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,159
Harry and the Henderson's in the eighties. Again, guy in

253
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,799
a suit, just like Chewbacca.

254
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: You know.

255
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 5: So this is just kind of the way I perceived Bigfoot,

256
00:13:45,639 --> 00:13:50,320
and everybody was a Bigfoot researcher getting there finding Bigfoot

257
00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:54,200
during that time. And still where's the evidence? You know,

258
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,840
I mean people are pulling up casts, whoop bee do,

259
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,840
where's the body? Where's that evidence that we're looking for?

260
00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:06,600
That after hearing those those calls in October of twenty thirteen,

261
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,879
really really pulled me into the woods. So in the

262
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,200
long and short of it, that's how I kind of

263
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:13,799
got into that.

264
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 3: No, I mean, I think it's a great overview. You know,

265
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,919
you talk about you know, your grandfather leading an early

266
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,639
chapter of Move On. You know, I kind of got

267
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,320
I don't want to say indoctrinated, but kind of drawn

268
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,360
into this by familial connections as well, right, And it

269
00:14:27,399 --> 00:14:30,519
was always the place did you find that growing up?

270
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,159
Was that something that was kind of cultivated with you, Jay,

271
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:36,360
that you had this ability and these resources to go

272
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:38,240
to to talk about these strange things or was it

273
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,679
still kind of a kind of a kept quiet conversation.

274
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 5: You know what, I'm sure my brothers and sister and

275
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,279
everybody I know just thinks I'm that person. No, I

276
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,679
really didn't. I really didn't have that outlet to speak

277
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,600
about except when I was with my grandfather, and I

278
00:14:57,639 --> 00:14:59,799
mean he would share with me everything that he has

279
00:14:59,799 --> 00:15:04,799
been investigating since the fifties. So there was that immediate

280
00:15:04,799 --> 00:15:09,840
connection with you know, grandson and you know grandfather, and

281
00:15:10,519 --> 00:15:13,159
that kind of helped me along. And I guess just

282
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,720
throughout my life is journey, you know, I am running

283
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,320
into people that share the same passion I think that

284
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:23,919
I say, think outside the box, not that we're crazy,

285
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,759
but just give it a second, just just to understand.

286
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 3: That are we the crazy ones? So I guess that's

287
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,200
a larger question.

288
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, we're crazy. Just leave it at that.

289
00:15:36,879 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 6: I don't know, lately, all these people that have all

290
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:43,399
these crazy ideas and conspiracy theories, they're.

291
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,799
Speaker 3: Starting to check out. How about it?

292
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: Right?

293
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 3: And you know we've talked about that over the years,

294
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,200
these folks that, you know, we just look at the

295
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,039
and I know we focused predominantly on Bigfoot, Jay and guys.

296
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,879
But when you look at the EUAP phenomena, right UFOs

297
00:15:56,919 --> 00:15:59,240
to us, right vant in to make that sure, there's

298
00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:05,039
still UFOs to me. And you know, we wouldn't be

299
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,080
having these Senate hearings and these congressional hearings on this

300
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,159
topics ten years ago, fifteen years ago. You know, finally

301
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,480
some of these things are starting to pop up and

302
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:20,360
become mainstream. And why would we not see that with

303
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,879
something such as the Sasquatch? And I think maybe, you know,

304
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,039
this is just a subject of conversation. We could take

305
00:16:27,039 --> 00:16:29,440
this as we want to, just a bottom having that

306
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,679
we kind of think the concept of an eight running

307
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:38,120
around the forest of North America is silly. Stranger things

308
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,799
have happened, I guess, right. I mean I don't find

309
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,679
it that silly, but you know, Jay, you kind of

310
00:16:43,679 --> 00:16:46,759
look at this from all directions, and I think if

311
00:16:46,759 --> 00:16:48,639
one of the things I appreciate you keep calling it

312
00:16:48,679 --> 00:16:51,320
searching for your truth, and you know you look at

313
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,120
the Bigfoot mystery with a different lens. Where are you

314
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,440
at with Bigfoot? And what legend there?

315
00:16:57,919 --> 00:17:01,639
Speaker 5: Okay, well, I mean I basically started off, and if

316
00:17:01,639 --> 00:17:05,480
you see my first documentary, this really gets deep into

317
00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:09,200
my search. Right after I hear those calls and going

318
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,240
back J, folks, what's up finding J? Right, my first

319
00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:16,519
documentary finding J. And again it was not a narcissistic

320
00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:19,079
thing saying hey, it's my documentary. I'm gonna call finding Jay.

321
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,960
You know, I always said, you know, after a couple

322
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,119
of years of doing this, I realized that I don't

323
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,880
think I will ever find Bigfoot, but I think Bigfoot

324
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,200
will find me. Thus finding J. It could be finding Sean,

325
00:17:31,279 --> 00:17:36,240
finding Dvance, finding Baker with all these but when I

326
00:17:36,279 --> 00:17:47,640
first started, but when I first started approaching this, of course,

327
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,480
you know, I'm influenced by other writers, other researchers that

328
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,680
Bigfoot is just the flesh and blood ape running around. Well,

329
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,119
I guess everywhere in the world, since there's been accounts everywhere.

330
00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:06,400
But I really was kind of focusing instead of hearing

331
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,640
all the white noise all around me through the media,

332
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,559
through documentaries, through books. You know, what I had to

333
00:18:13,599 --> 00:18:19,240
become my own window might be being the observer instead

334
00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:23,640
of just watching about it hearing about it, because of

335
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,960
course we can get an influenced that way. Of course,

336
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,519
a lot of I'd never call myself a bigfooter. I'm

337
00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:34,039
not a squatcher. I am a hiker out there just

338
00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:36,839
being an observer. That's what I'm doing, and I'm documenting

339
00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:40,319
it as I go. So will I admit way in

340
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,759
the beginning, did I take stick and knock it against

341
00:18:42,799 --> 00:18:47,680
a tree or give a bobo howl? Of course I did.

342
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,440
But over this time I started I think this was

343
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,880
kind of the progression of me being kind of one

344
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,119
with the woods. That sounds a little bit crazy, but

345
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,359
I grew up not a woodsman. I stayed away from

346
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,359
ticks and poison, ivy, you know, anything that was in there.

347
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:07,680
I'm staying out of it.

348
00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:08,079
Speaker 1: Now.

349
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 5: You can't keep me out of there. I don't care

350
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:13,440
what I'm walking into. I feel like the woods is

351
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,000
beckoning me. And that's kind of the key word for

352
00:19:16,039 --> 00:19:18,799
me right now is the woods. So I never say

353
00:19:18,839 --> 00:19:21,079
I'm going squatchy. I'm saying, hey, I'm gonna go hiking

354
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:26,359
in the living woods because I do believe that I

355
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,559
do believe that Bigfoot is flesh and blood. I'll I'm

356
00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:34,200
gonna set my opinion right off, is flesh and blood,

357
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:39,240
but I believe has supernatural attributes to it. And the

358
00:19:39,279 --> 00:19:41,880
only reason why I can say that is not just

359
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,359
my thoughts thinking outside of the box, but seeing what

360
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,480
I've seen out there. And I've seen something that in

361
00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:52,160
the dead of fall, where it's really brown here in Wisconsin,

362
00:19:52,279 --> 00:19:56,119
nothing's green through some standing pines. I look to my

363
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,079
right and I see this auburn shape and they had

364
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,640
to have been about sixty seventy yards away, but it

365
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,559
looked huge and it caught my eye. I kind of

366
00:20:06,599 --> 00:20:09,200
like a like a t Rex movement. Something had to

367
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,200
have moved to where I looked that way. The second

368
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,160
I looked, I mean, it was solid, and then all

369
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,880
of a sudden it was gone, Almost like if you

370
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,119
were going to take a fly swatter to a fly

371
00:20:21,279 --> 00:20:23,039
and you think you got them, but you missed him.

372
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,160
He whatever it was moved that fast, but it left

373
00:20:27,559 --> 00:20:31,480
like what looked like an auburn blur so it moved

374
00:20:31,519 --> 00:20:34,160
so quick, but I could almost see the whatever it

375
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,920
left behind. So and it covered a great distance too.

376
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:40,759
When I did that, and I was out there with

377
00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:43,119
my four and a half year old daughter during the day.

378
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,279
We're just doing a daddy daughter pike, and I believe

379
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:49,039
at that point, I said, I don't care if I

380
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,480
was double wielding Ak's like rambo.

381
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: Whatever.

382
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 5: This thing was moved that quick could actually snatch my daughter.

383
00:20:58,519 --> 00:21:00,680
So there were things like that, So it's kind of like,

384
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,440
you know, it was it an apparition that I saw,

385
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,920
you know, what could I actually have seen? But at

386
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,000
the same time, over the years, with a lot of

387
00:21:10,039 --> 00:21:14,680
the different experiences I've had of things walking directly behind

388
00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:19,039
me and turning around, taking a couple of steps forward,

389
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,480
turning around and there's nothing there and you never heard

390
00:21:21,519 --> 00:21:24,799
it leave, I guess it's things like that because I

391
00:21:24,839 --> 00:21:28,799
always think, if it's listen, you know, how is it

392
00:21:28,799 --> 00:21:31,279
that we're just finding the one footprints and that the others.

393
00:21:31,319 --> 00:21:34,400
You know that that question, that question has never really

394
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,519
been answered. We can all have theories on it. But

395
00:21:37,599 --> 00:21:42,400
I started believing that that bigfoot was solid, it was

396
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,759
leaving footprints, it's breaking branches, it's doing these things, yet

397
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,359
there's there's not tracks everywhere there. You know, if these

398
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,880
things are this big and this broad and they're just there,

399
00:21:55,559 --> 00:21:58,279
it'd be so hard to move through the kettle or

400
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,119
really woods without leaving, you know, a four foot five

401
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,519
foot wide of destruction and footprints everywhere if it was

402
00:22:06,759 --> 00:22:10,759
just an animal. Anyway, this is just the way I

403
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:13,640
look at some of these things. Jay, I've got a

404
00:22:13,759 --> 00:22:14,599
question for you.

405
00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, having a conversation with Linda Giffrey, rest her soul.

406
00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:26,000
She was great at what she did. And off the

407
00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:27,799
top of my head, I forget the name of the

408
00:22:27,839 --> 00:22:32,920
man that owned the hayfield adjacent to Bray Road, the

409
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:37,640
haut Yes, And you know, she was telling me, and

410
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,160
she shared this story with others and she wrote it

411
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,599
in her book too, of these orbs that she saw

412
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,039
and one of the gentlemen who was driving the vehicle

413
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:54,680
shined his mag light flashlight at it and it disappeared.

414
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,839
But it was coming right at them. And there was

415
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,480
a lot of weird things that she documented in photography

416
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,400
of the footprints that just vanished. You go off in

417
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,680
one direction and there were no more footprint. Where did

418
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,279
they go? They just disappeared. And of course when you

419
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,119
and myself were out there and went to the kettle,

420
00:23:17,799 --> 00:23:20,359
you know, I had my personal experience, you had your

421
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,559
experience of bizarro stuff that when we were there, and

422
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,519
I will never ever forget that. And I'm really looking

423
00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:33,839
forward to packing up the bag, the squatch bag and

424
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,200
going back out there with you again, because we're only

425
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,799
an hour and ten minutes from each other, and I'm

426
00:23:39,799 --> 00:23:42,519
looking forward to doing that again over the little bit

427
00:23:42,599 --> 00:23:44,839
warmer season. But I want to get back out there

428
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:45,759
with you again.

429
00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:48,839
Speaker 5: Definitely, because you remember what we walked through the Cone

430
00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:49,920
of silence.

431
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: The Cone of silence was the craziest thing. I'll tell

432
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,559
you why. That was nuts.

433
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll tell you that the woods have gone quiet

434
00:23:58,519 --> 00:24:01,519
over all this time, you know, while I'm still doing this,

435
00:24:02,279 --> 00:24:05,640
But mine and your experience of that ConA silence has

436
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,880
never happened since. No, really, I've heard that's crazy because

437
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,559
we we even heard when it was so quiet, it

438
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,160
felt like we were in just like this little domein.

439
00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: A vacuum like this.

440
00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:21,799
Speaker 5: Yes, we couldn't hear any ambient noise anywhere.

441
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: I will explain to the audience what would Jay and

442
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:31,000
myself experienced. I'm looking for any kind of tracks on

443
00:24:31,039 --> 00:24:33,559
the trail that we're walking on, and we're in the

444
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,400
Kettlemarine and off in the distance, probably what maybe a

445
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,400
mile mile and a half away, we heard tractor equipment

446
00:24:42,039 --> 00:24:45,799
rolling off in the farm fields. We heard birds chirping,

447
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,359
we heard squirrels barking, and it was like one step

448
00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:53,160
and Jay turned around and looked at me, and he's like,

449
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:58,480
everything is dead, silent. We couldn't hear anything. We didn't

450
00:24:58,519 --> 00:25:02,359
see anything flying, we saw on nothing moving. It was

451
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,519
the craziest thing. You know, when you're in such deathly

452
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,240
quiet when your ears start to ring. That's what we

453
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:14,839
were experiencing. And so we started walking forward and at

454
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,480
some point all the noise of the forest and the

455
00:25:18,519 --> 00:25:21,759
tractor equipment all came back to life again. In about

456
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,559
I would say, maybe Jay thirty feet, yeah, thirty to

457
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:29,599
fifty feet as we walked, and then everything came back

458
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,640
to life again. What the hell was that?

459
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:38,559
Speaker 5: It's basically like being in an acoustic recording. Yeah, it

460
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:43,160
was that where you could hear yourself breathe.

461
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 1: Yes, you could feel your heart beating and hear it. Yeah,

462
00:25:46,759 --> 00:25:50,440
it was crazy, and that was nuts. That was nuts

463
00:25:50,519 --> 00:25:52,720
and I know that steps a little bit off the

464
00:25:52,839 --> 00:25:56,440
path of the bigfoot thing, but there was definitely something

465
00:25:56,519 --> 00:25:59,960
going on there because we had a couple other experience

466
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,319
and says going through there where I saw a translucent

467
00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:07,559
figure run right in front of me as I'm looking

468
00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:11,680
at the ground looking for tracks, and this translucent thing

469
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,599
ran from one side, from the left side of the

470
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,319
path to the right side. But yet none of the

471
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,839
brush or shrubbery moved as it ran in front of me.

472
00:26:22,079 --> 00:26:25,240
And of course, you know, I figured out twenty minutes

473
00:26:25,319 --> 00:26:29,880
later my GoPro was dead. My goalpro will run for

474
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,799
four or five hours, and we were in there for

475
00:26:32,839 --> 00:26:36,200
what twenty minutes and my goalpro was dead. It was crazy.

476
00:26:36,519 --> 00:26:41,559
Speaker 3: But now can you explain that with something No, well,

477
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,559
maybe you can. Maybe you were experiencing a force that

478
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,359
you couldn't see. We've talked about these effects of things

479
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,440
like infra sound, and you know, perhaps you were just

480
00:26:52,519 --> 00:26:56,119
subjected to something like that. Although you know, j I

481
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,559
really go ahead, Jay.

482
00:26:57,559 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 5: Oh no, I'm sorry, I'll let you finish. But subjective,

483
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,400
that's one of the things that I actually think about,

484
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,359
is sorry, I'm going to use Star Wars. You know,

485
00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:13,519
parodies but what what I'm thinking is they are right there,

486
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,240
and it's it's very easy for said sasquatch standing right

487
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,519
there saying this isn't the squad you're looking for, you know,

488
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,559
it's you know, I don't want to say Jedi mind tricks,

489
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,880
But how is it. I don't think in reality that

490
00:27:29,039 --> 00:27:33,759
all the sound events that we we couldn't hear just

491
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,559
didn't disappear. I think it was affecting us.

492
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: One way or another.

493
00:27:38,319 --> 00:27:41,519
Speaker 5: And I don't know how right we feel like we

494
00:27:41,519 --> 00:27:45,119
were infected in the in this bubble of sea.

495
00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 3: Would there there's some trippy ship that happens to people

496
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,319
out out in the woods man, And you know, I

497
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,440
not that I try to. I'm a flesh and blood guy.

498
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,400
I think we all know that. But it doesn't mean

499
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,519
that these abilities can't come from something that's blood.

500
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 5: Right, But that's you know anything. I think that's always

501
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,839
been my debate and I'm sorry about that when it

502
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,759
comes to saying stop with the woo, stop with and

503
00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:13,039
you know, and people thinking that it's just like this magical,

504
00:28:13,279 --> 00:28:17,200
friendly giant floating around out in the woods or whatnot.

505
00:28:18,079 --> 00:28:23,440
Me personally, I believe soundsquatch is one hundred percent flesh

506
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,319
and blood. But Sean, you you hit it. Why why

507
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:32,119
couldn't they have a different ability of you know, being

508
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,480
in the in the environment. And I don't understand why.

509
00:28:34,759 --> 00:28:38,240
And it's hard for me because I guess I believe that,

510
00:28:38,279 --> 00:28:41,279
but it's hard for me for people not to. I

511
00:28:41,319 --> 00:28:43,759
don't want to say, open up, but just think outside

512
00:28:43,759 --> 00:28:45,720
the box a little bit, right.

513
00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's true. I'd like to call

514
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,319
it what if? Right, it's not such rude, but what

515
00:28:49,359 --> 00:28:50,319
if we don't?

516
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,079
Speaker 1: I'll bring that up in the news segment.

517
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 3: But we're only we're only so far with technology, right.

518
00:28:56,839 --> 00:29:01,440
Everything we discover is discover accidentally, and then we find

519
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,839
a way to repeat it, or through years upon years

520
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,759
upon years of research, right, and that somebody stumbled upon

521
00:29:06,839 --> 00:29:08,519
something that once again we're trying to find a way

522
00:29:08,519 --> 00:29:12,799
to repeat. We haven't been able to find this thing yet,

523
00:29:12,839 --> 00:29:15,160
to be able to even start those studies. So to

524
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,079
say it can't be just because something else doesn't have

525
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,640
that ability doesn't make it woo again. And to me

526
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,759
it makes it what if, you know, leave footprints, This

527
00:29:26,839 --> 00:29:33,599
thing leaves piles of ship this thing is leaves biological means.

528
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,599
Speaker 1: And so it does. But you know, Sean, I would

529
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,880
bring up to you when Jay and myself went there

530
00:29:40,519 --> 00:29:44,799
the second j parked the vehicle in this maintenance little

531
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,920
parking area which is really small. We got out of

532
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,880
the vehicle and we smelled this horrible stench and I

533
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,960
mean it was awful. It's it just smelled like shit,

534
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:02,000
meet death, whatever you want to It just smelled awful.

535
00:30:02,359 --> 00:30:05,680
And I don't know if you remember, Jay, but maybe

536
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,640
within twenty five to thirty seconds of us smelling the stench,

537
00:30:10,079 --> 00:30:14,440
we heard something hit the ground that to me sounded

538
00:30:14,519 --> 00:30:17,880
like a really heavy bag of you know, concrete mix

539
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,000
hitting the ground like it fell out of a tree.

540
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,319
And yet Jay and myself walked over there and saw nothing.

541
00:30:25,079 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 3: Let's pause there, though, Vance, because we're at time for

542
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,079
oh break, and when we come back from the break,

543
00:30:31,119 --> 00:30:33,720
we'll pick up where you left off, the men hitting

544
00:30:33,759 --> 00:30:36,599
the ground, wet meat, shit, and all of the good

545
00:30:36,599 --> 00:30:41,200
stuff when we come back. I Sasquat experience shot maker.

546
00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:43,960
Vance Nez been our guest tonight, Ja Pa Jochin. We'll

547
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,200
be right back right after the big football horn. See

548
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:47,680
you shortly.

549
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:59,359
Speaker 1: Whoo's team US symbol. There's no such thing as antifa.

550
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,599
Speaker 8: Right. I thought it was an idea. It was an idea,

551
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,160
like in a fable, like in a book, like at

552
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,559
a Kid Striking at Charlie Brown Encyclopedia. It's just an idea.

553
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,039
It's an idea, like unicorns, like Bigfoot.

554
00:31:10,079 --> 00:31:11,799
Speaker 3: All who knows I'm up in the air a big foot?

555
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: Ah? Yes, that was the recent former Deputy director of

556
00:31:17,519 --> 00:31:23,119
the FBI, Dan Bongino last week after he has returned

557
00:31:23,279 --> 00:31:26,160
from the FBI. But I found it as a really

558
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,880
interesting sound clip just because of the fact that before

559
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,920
he went to the FBI, I know of one occasion

560
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,680
where you use Bigfoot as a fallacy or a fairy

561
00:31:36,759 --> 00:31:41,160
tale creature. Now we have a difference of opinion, of course,

562
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,200
it just crossed my mind to say, hmm, I wonder

563
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,319
if there was any documentation or photographs or both, or

564
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,920
who knows that he may have glanced interesting? Isn't it

565
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,920
want to hear it again? There's no such thing as antifa. Right.

566
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,079
I thought it was an idea.

567
00:31:57,079 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 8: It was an idea, like it a fable, like in

568
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,559
a book, like at a Kid's Strike at Charlie Brown Encyclopedia.

569
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: It's just an idea.

570
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 8: It's an idea like unicorns, like Bigfoot Allo, who knows

571
00:32:07,039 --> 00:32:08,160
I'm up in the air Bigfoot.

572
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: Well, there you go, you draw your own conclusions. Well,

573
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,000
happy day to you all. Thanks for joining us at

574
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,440
the big Foot Bullhorn on the Sasquatch Experience, and of

575
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,720
course you can always reach out to us via email

576
00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:26,599
or the interweb machine. Email would be Sasquatch Experience at

577
00:32:26,759 --> 00:32:31,480
gmail dot com, or like I said, you can go

578
00:32:31,519 --> 00:32:35,839
to the YouTube web machine Sasquatch Experience dot com. It's

579
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,519
not that complicated, but we would love to hear from you.

580
00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:44,440
And speaking of you know, things that are being questioned

581
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:50,000
as of late, there's two sociologists, Jamie Lewis and Andrew Bartlett,

582
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,359
and they wanted to uncover some questions that they were

583
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:59,359
itching to understand what prompts this community to spend valuable

584
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,799
time and resources looking for a beast that is highly

585
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:08,839
unlikely to even exist. During the COVID lockdown, Lewis started

586
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,880
interviewing more than one hundred and thirty bigfooters and a

587
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:17,440
few academics about their views, experiences, and practices, culminating in

588
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:24,519
the duo's recent book, Bigfooters and Scientific Inquiry on the Borderlands.

589
00:33:24,599 --> 00:33:30,680
Of legitimate science. One question asked of Lewis was how

590
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,839
big is this community? Of course, Lewis replied, it's very

591
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,799
hard to put a number on it. There is certainly

592
00:33:37,839 --> 00:33:41,839
a divide between what are known as apers, who believe

593
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:46,000
that Bigfoot is just a primate unknown to science, and

594
00:33:46,119 --> 00:33:51,400
those that are perhaps more derogatorily called Woo's or wu Wu's,

595
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,559
who believe that Bigfoot is some sort of interdimensional traveler,

596
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,279
an alien of sort. We're talking thousands of people, but

597
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,920
there are a couple hundred really serious people, of which

598
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:08,800
I've probably interviewed at least half many people back then.

599
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:15,280
A UGOV survey conducted as recently as November of last year,

600
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,639
or twenty twenty five, if you're bad at math, suggested

601
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,400
that many as one quarter of the Americans believe that

602
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:30,440
Bigfoot either definitely or probably exists. Another question asked of

603
00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:38,880
Bartlett was were the interviewees suspicious of your intentions? Bartlett replied, well,

604
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,320
one of the things that at least a couple of

605
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,400
people reacted to once the book was published was the

606
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,880
way we phrase that. On the blurb on the back

607
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,079
of the book, we say something along the lines of

608
00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:57,760
Bigfoot exists, if not in physical biological creature form, then

609
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:02,480
certainly as an object around which hundreds of people organize

610
00:35:02,519 --> 00:35:06,559
their lives. A couple of people they took that there's

611
00:35:06,599 --> 00:35:10,719
some sort of slight against them, but bart Live insisted

612
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:15,199
it wasn't. When we come back, I forget is it

613
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,519
Idaho or Ohio? Well I have to figure that out.

614
00:35:22,599 --> 00:35:25,079
You're listening to the big footballhorn right here on the

Speaker 1: Vance.

650
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:45,079
Speaker 3: Thank you for that great upload tonight. We really appreciate it.

651

Speaker 1: It was great. It was great.

652
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:51,559
Speaker 5: But I gotta say, being from Wisconsin, I don't say Wiscansen, Wiscansen.

653
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,679
Speaker 1: No, US from Illinois say Wiscanson.

654
00:38:55,039 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 5: It's right, but from here.

655
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: You're a Bears fan though, right, Jay, guy, hard Bears fan.

656
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,440
There you go, that's all that matters. I'm good with that.

657
00:39:05,599 --> 00:39:08,039
I'm right on the border, border wars, border works, and

658
00:39:08,159 --> 00:39:10,639
I get you got to throw a rivalry right here

659
00:39:10,679 --> 00:39:13,400
with you know the art that's not a rivalry. Jay

660
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,800
and I are locked armed in that old that whole thing. No, No,

661
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,920
we're good. We're good. We're good.

662
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 3: Before we went to the break, guys, we were talking

663
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,800
about some brain shit. So let's pick up where we

664
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,320
left off. Their bands.

665
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: Besides the walking through the Cone of Silence and hearing

666
00:39:32,519 --> 00:39:35,880
something fall from it, what I would have assumed was

667
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,800
a tree after we smelled some serious stench.

668
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:39,559
Speaker 3: Uh.

669
00:39:40,079 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: And this goes back prior to a lot of the

670
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,760
reports of the awful smell that people have reported having

671
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,639
a Sasquatch experience of the bad smell. And as soon

672
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,079
as Jay and myself got out of the car, Chase

673
00:39:55,159 --> 00:39:59,239
says to me, holy what And we're looking at each

674
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,960
other going what that awful smell? And it was crazy,

675
00:40:03,039 --> 00:40:08,079
but yeah, we heard a very heavy thing or something

676
00:40:08,559 --> 00:40:11,480
that sounded like it either jumped out of a tree

677
00:40:11,599 --> 00:40:14,599
or fell out of a tree or from a higher altitude.

678
00:40:15,079 --> 00:40:18,400
And we walked over in that general direction. We saw nothing.

679
00:40:19,039 --> 00:40:23,280
We saw absolutely nothing. But you know, after our Cone

680
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,960
of Silence experience, we did hear some rock clacks off

681
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,800
in the distance, and you know, we were like, what

682
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,280
is that. It sounded like, you know, two larger rocks

683
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,599
being clapped together. I'm not going to say what it

684
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:45,239
was because JM myself didn't see anything. But for the

685
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,400
things that happened in that experience in the Kettle Moraine,

686
00:40:50,119 --> 00:40:53,159
it was really interesting. Here's one thing about Kettle Moraine

687
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,679
for those that have never been there, it's very level land.

688
00:40:58,559 --> 00:41:01,679
The thing is, it's all being gouged out. A lot

689
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,679
of it's been gouged out by glaciers that created part

690
00:41:05,679 --> 00:41:08,800
of the Great Lakes. So it's not a mountainous area.

691
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,760
It's flatland. But you have these really deeper vines that

692
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:17,000
go down. Some of them, Jay go down what forty stories,

693
00:41:17,599 --> 00:41:21,559
just completely gouged out. You fall off a ravine, you're dead.

694
00:41:22,559 --> 00:41:25,920
You're going down, You're dead. But a lot of these

695
00:41:26,039 --> 00:41:30,519
ravines have small creeks that just keep draining out so

696
00:41:30,599 --> 00:41:33,199
that they don't fill into lakes like the Great Lakes.

697
00:41:33,199 --> 00:41:37,800
Do you know, there's no upper shore for water that

698
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,199
has nowhere to go, so they drain out and it

699
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,880
leaves these deeper vines. And I'm telling you that area

700
00:41:45,079 --> 00:41:48,840
is just a perfect area for all sorts of weird

701
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:53,440
things to be able to hide or just stay out

702
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,960
of human sight. Easily stay out of human sight. And

703
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,199
you know I have friends that go snowmobiling in the

704
00:42:00,199 --> 00:42:03,320
winter time up in the Kettle Moraine. Yeah, you make

705
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,960
a wrong turn and that's pretty much the end of

706
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:11,800
your life. You're just tumbling down these deep, gouged out

707
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,840
ravines and it's pretty crazy. It's an amazing place to go.

708
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,199
I would invite anybody that ever has any interest to

709
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,400
do any even if you just want to look for

710
00:42:23,519 --> 00:42:27,159
wildlife in the area. That's a great place to go.

711
00:42:27,559 --> 00:42:30,559
Speaker 5: It is and just think about this Vans the little

712
00:42:30,559 --> 00:42:33,320
bit area that we covered. You know, if you wanted

713
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,079
to take a pin and just poke it right into

714
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,159
a map, you know, an aerial map like that.

715
00:42:38,679 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: That's already covered. You know.

716
00:42:40,679 --> 00:42:43,639
Speaker 5: I know it's definitely not the Pacific Northwest. It's not

717
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,400
you know, it's not Pennsylvania. It's not the Chestnut Ridge.

718
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,000
It's not the East Coast, it's not you know. I

719
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,440
mean you look at these other places that are just immense,

720
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,000
and then you look at the Kittle Marine and it's like,

721
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,119
you know, the cattle Maraine is you can get so lost.

722
00:42:58,159 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: There's been easyl lost. Yes, it is easily, yes.

723
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 5: And I just wanted to add that area that you

724
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:13,199
and I walked. We I have actually casted my first

725
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,280
print almost where you saw the thing jet across the path,

726
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,800
same exact area because I remember that going, oh that's

727
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:22,440
a band spot.

728
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:27,079
Speaker 1: That's what I call it, a vand spot. I'm honored because.

729
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 5: That's where we were when I when I saw that,

730
00:43:29,079 --> 00:43:31,559
I always think of that whenever I still travel through there.

731
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,239
But you know, over this is that in my third

732
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:39,559
documentary to where I've actually seen the distortion.

733
00:43:40,039 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: Uh.

734
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,559
Speaker 5: I like to call it the Predator, but not quite

735
00:43:45,639 --> 00:43:49,239
the head, shoulders and everything. It looked more like, you

736
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,000
know if Harry Potter or Frodo threw their invisible cloaks

737
00:43:52,039 --> 00:43:54,760
over themselves. It kind of had it kind of had

738
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,320
a uh, you know, pac Man, a ghost of pac

739
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,880
Man shaped to it. But it was standing right next

740
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,320
to a tree when my daughter was seeing something beyond

741
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,840
me saying do you see it? She's looking at something

742
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:11,199
beyond the path and the tree line, and I'm standing

743
00:44:11,199 --> 00:44:13,280
over her shoulder and I'm looking. She goes, it's right there.

744
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:13,639
Speaker 1: Do you see?

745
00:44:13,639 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 5: It's by the tree. And I'm looking at a billion

746
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,360
trees and I'm like, don't see it? I said, I

747
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,480
We'll blame just here. I'm handing her the phone to

748
00:44:20,559 --> 00:44:23,519
record it. But my eye was brought up a little

749
00:44:23,519 --> 00:44:26,880
bit closer, forty yards from us and right from where

750
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,679
the path and the tree line starts. All of a sudden,

751
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,400
I see this distortion move. As soon as I like

752
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,960
locked eyes with it, it seemed like it just moved

753
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,239
behind the tree that it was by. And the reason

754
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,239
why I said it moved behind the tree is because

755
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,159
you could tell the distortion of all plant life or

756
00:44:46,199 --> 00:44:49,480
anything in front of it, or you looking. So when

757
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,960
it went behind the tree. The tree didn't look distorted,

758
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,840
so I thought it went behind the tree. But the

759
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,079
really cool validation of this is my thirty five year

760
00:44:58,079 --> 00:45:01,320
old nephew. When my was trying to look this way,

761
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,400
he kind of flanked off to the left about forty

762
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,840
yards and just kind of even with us a little bit.

763
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,840
But he kind of was flanking around that end. And

764
00:45:12,039 --> 00:45:14,639
when I was told my daughter, he was out of earshot.

765
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,519
And by the time I walked down to the tree,

766
00:45:16,559 --> 00:45:20,519
he met us there and he is even keel. He goes, Jay,

767
00:45:20,559 --> 00:45:22,599
if I'm coming out here, I want to see a bigfoot,

768
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,159
I want to see a dog man. I would see

769
00:45:24,159 --> 00:45:24,840
a gray alien.

770
00:45:25,119 --> 00:45:27,119
Speaker 1: You know. He goes, But what I.

771
00:45:27,039 --> 00:45:30,039
Speaker 5: Saw I can't explain, because he said it was like,

772
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,280
be careful what you wish for. Yeah, He's like, it

773
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,159
was translucent and it went.

774
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:35,760
Speaker 1: It was right.

775
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,119
Speaker 5: It was behind this tree, and it shot threw all

776
00:45:39,159 --> 00:45:41,800
that brush over the path into the next part of

777
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:46,039
the woods, didn't make a sound, didn't destroy brush, And

778
00:45:46,079 --> 00:45:48,760
that's exactly where I saw whatever I saw it move

779
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,559
behind the tree. So again now people say, well, you

780
00:45:52,599 --> 00:45:55,199
just saw a cloaking bigfoot. I didn't see a bigfoot.

781
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,800
I didn't see a cloak. I didn't see it uncloak exactly.

782
00:45:59,079 --> 00:46:01,599
Speaker 1: I don't know what I say. I have no idea

783
00:46:01,639 --> 00:46:05,360
what I saw. I saw what I had described with

784
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:10,440
Shannon Legroux on ITF with you was if you held

785
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,400
a piece of paper up to a blank television screen.

786
00:46:15,639 --> 00:46:18,800
That's how it was translucent. And it moved from the

787
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:23,840
left to the right at a running speed, but yet

788
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,639
none of the shrubs were moving or disturbed when it

789
00:46:27,679 --> 00:46:30,559
went from one side to the other. While I'm looking

790
00:46:30,679 --> 00:46:34,880
down looking for tracks, and I saw this thing move,

791
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,239
and I'm like what, And of course you know you

792
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,519
stopped because you had your camera going, well what did

793
00:46:40,559 --> 00:46:43,280
you see? And I look at my GoPro and it's dead.

794
00:46:43,599 --> 00:46:46,880
The battery is completely I'm like, we've only been in

795
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,679
here for like twenty minutes and my GoPro was a

796
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,639
one hundred percent battery charge. I've got nothing.

797
00:46:54,079 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 5: I was like, Dads, do you remember though, when I

798
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,800
said what did it look like? And you were describing

799
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,800
it to me. I still remember to this day you

800
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,719
said it was like like it was like like a

801
00:47:05,119 --> 00:47:08,400
because you couldn't see the bottom half of it. Yes,

802
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:10,760
the top half and you said, it was almost as

803
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:16,960
if like a villain the Scooby Doo. Yes, like the villain, yes, something,

804
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,800
and moving across Always remember you said that, Yeah, Yeah.

805
00:47:20,679 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't see the I couldn't see anything from the

806
00:47:23,039 --> 00:47:26,079
waist down. All I caught was from the waist up

807
00:47:26,079 --> 00:47:29,000
as it was moving in front of me across the path,

808
00:47:29,159 --> 00:47:33,000
and it was like it was running And immediately I'm

809
00:47:33,039 --> 00:47:36,199
looking at the shrubbery on the other and on the

810
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,400
other side, on the right side of where I was at.

811
00:47:39,679 --> 00:47:42,719
It went down into the ravine of at least you know,

812
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:47,559
thirty forty feet. Who's running across that fast to go

813
00:47:47,639 --> 00:47:50,920
down a ravine. I don't know what to make of it.

814
00:47:51,079 --> 00:47:51,800
I really didn't.

815
00:47:52,519 --> 00:47:56,159
Speaker 5: And I think that's the point where I was talking about.

816
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,679
Is big Foot one hundred percent real or flesh and

817
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,039
blow one hundred people?

818
00:48:01,039 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 1: I believe that.

819
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 5: But at the same time, Sean, the whole thing you

820
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,559
were asking me is where where am I now? From

821
00:48:08,679 --> 00:48:12,039
what I when I first started, And I believe it

822
00:48:12,119 --> 00:48:16,199
was it was probably right around the time, you know,

823
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,880
Vance and I were out. I took somebody else out

824
00:48:19,079 --> 00:48:22,400
and we were finding a single feather in the middle

825
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,559
of the path, and I thought, well, I didn't really

826
00:48:25,599 --> 00:48:29,800
think much of that, because you're out in nature. Of course,

827
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:33,039
there's going to be a bird feather from somewhere. And

828
00:48:33,079 --> 00:48:35,880
as we started walk, kept walking another about seventy five

829
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,960
yards down, we find another feather single in the middle

830
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,880
of the path, and I thought, okay, it maybe it

831
00:48:44,039 --> 00:48:45,599
just clicked there, but I still didn't make a big

832
00:48:45,639 --> 00:48:48,519
deal about it. About another one hundred yards later, we

833
00:48:48,599 --> 00:48:51,800
found another feather in the middle of the path, and

834
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:56,280
I think at that point that triggered me into saying,

835
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:00,000
you know, I'm thinking, okay, you know, bigfoots out here,

836
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,800
bigfoots leaving me feathers. And then I'm thinking, now, that's ridiculous,

837
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:10,039
that's absolutely ridiculous. However, there's a lot of native culture

838
00:49:10,159 --> 00:49:14,280
here in the state of Wisconsin that I thought immediately,

839
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:19,960
I'm thinking headdress, you know that there, and I wanted

840
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:23,719
to look into it a little bit more of the

841
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:28,880
native side. Actually, Part three really kind of dives into that, right.

842
00:49:29,079 --> 00:49:32,760
I really do believe that the woods and I'm going

843
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,320
to call them the living woods, and and I don't

844
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:40,679
just mean trees, fox, deer or whatever I'm saying. It's

845
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,800
it's alive, I even think spiritually, And I guess it

846
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,320
all depends on how you want to approach it that way,

847
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,719
you know, because again saying that you believe in bigfoot already,

848
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:56,079
you're already getting shunned by people going as their unicorns too.

849
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,880
And then and then when you dive into this field

850
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,119
of bigfoot, then you do have those different camps. And

851
00:50:02,159 --> 00:50:05,519
then within these different camps you've got you know, the Apors,

852
00:50:05,519 --> 00:50:09,519
you got, the wu, you got the Ufo, you got Nephlum, biblical,

853
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:14,760
you know, bigfoot. And I really think sometimes it's even

854
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,679
hard to collaborate with other people that do this. I'm

855
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,440
open to everything. Yeah, I'll listen to everybody, you know,

856
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,800
when they sit there and they pound on their desks

857
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,519
saying it is just a flesh and blood eighte people

858
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:29,440
stop with all this other stuff.

859
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: We don't know now, we don't know. We experienced it.

860
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 5: And is there a correlation with you know, could you

861
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,719
have seen evans a big foot running so fast that

862
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:47,679
it was translucent. It's unheard of, but is it possible?

863
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:49,039
Speaker 1: We don't know.

864
00:50:49,159 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 5: But that's why when I go out there and I'm

865
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:55,840
becoming the window, my own observer, I am going to

866
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,960
document what I see, what I feel. If other PEO

867
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,480
people don't like that and it doesn't work with their

868
00:51:02,519 --> 00:51:06,280
paradigm in this subject, you know, that's just got to

869
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:07,920
have to move on from it, or at least be

870
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,519
able to talk with other people that are willing to listen,

871
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:11,519
you know.

872
00:51:11,639 --> 00:51:14,280
Speaker 1: I want to bring up a I wanted to bring

873
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,599
up a quick point though, Jay, which I noticed that

874
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:21,719
when you and myself went out there, and ever since

875
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:26,000
you've been going out there, you make your announcement to

876
00:51:26,159 --> 00:51:29,280
the woods who you are and that you mean no harm.

877
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,920
You're just there to observe, right, And you'll move through

878
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,760
that area and you'll say your piece as you move

879
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,880
through the area. And I'm very comfortable with that. I

880
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:46,199
think whatever, if there is the whatever, needs to understand

881
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,360
that we're not here to do you any harm. We're

882
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,719
here to learn and observe, and that's it, not to

883
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:59,119
obstruct or to destroy whatever it is you're doing. We're

884
00:51:59,159 --> 00:52:02,119
just here to observe. And when you make your announcement,

885
00:52:03,119 --> 00:52:08,719
I think that's very prevalent to doing some of this research. Yeah, and.

886
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 5: Going into that, I'll take it that one step further

887
00:52:13,159 --> 00:52:16,880
because I was actually starting to do the announcement back

888
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,199
when I was carrying like a big rig of lights

889
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,719
and everything that I'm out there like a film crew

890
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,880
of like finding Bigfoot, and I'm like, why can't I

891
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:25,800
find this thing?

892
00:52:26,199 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: You know, trying through?

893
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:34,079
Speaker 5: Then I started realizing that maybe it's because if we

894
00:52:34,079 --> 00:52:36,559
were out in the woods, for example, me and you

895
00:52:36,679 --> 00:52:39,239
and Sean, and we're standing out there in the dark, Okay,

896
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,440
we're just doing our observing and just way down the path,

897
00:52:42,519 --> 00:52:45,920
we see this flashlight coming at us. Okay, what's your

898
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:51,480
first instinct when you see that? And honestly, I think

899
00:52:51,519 --> 00:52:53,679
one of the answers were a lot of people are saying,

900
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:55,920
all right, let's turn, let's go the other way, get

901
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:59,159
away from the flashlights, or let's step off the path.

902
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,280
And then that's a lot of the answers I get.

903
00:53:02,519 --> 00:53:06,400
And then I'll say, Okay, why do you feel that way?

904
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:10,760
Is because you don't know the intentions behind the flashlight

905
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:14,199
coming at you. So therefore, when I was coming in there,

906
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:18,679
I was taking not trying to walk in with flashlight

907
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:22,000
is not trying to be an aggressive step. I was

908
00:53:22,079 --> 00:53:27,320
basically going in there too be non aggressive. That's when

909
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:31,280
I started doing my hand signals and you know, being

910
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,599
able to let the woods know, Hey it's me and

911
00:53:34,639 --> 00:53:38,519
you know me. Hey, here's vance he's with me. Cool guy,

912
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,719
let us let us go through. And that was actually

913
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:47,119
back then. But after talking to a Native American elder,

914
00:53:47,599 --> 00:53:50,639
Skip god rust is Soul that he died in twenty

915
00:53:50,679 --> 00:53:53,119
and twenty three, I had only an hour and a

916
00:53:53,199 --> 00:53:58,400
half conversation with this man, and I was actually asking

917
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,800
to see if you would do an interview with me

918
00:54:02,519 --> 00:54:05,800
for my third documentary, and at that point he wasn't

919
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:10,400
able to. But that hour and a half conversation changed

920
00:54:10,599 --> 00:54:13,840
my life because of the way he approached it. I'm

921
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,559
asking him, what are these feathers? Okay, I just I'd

922
00:54:17,639 --> 00:54:18,960
like to know what are these feathers?

923
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: Right? Any relation?

924
00:54:20,599 --> 00:54:24,519
Speaker 5: And he said, Jay, that's for you to find out, right,

925
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,480
And I'm like, that's not the answer I'm looking for. Skip,

926
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,239
I'm sorry, you know, I want to know the answers. Yeah, right,

927
00:54:31,519 --> 00:54:34,880
And he's like, Jay, there is more to the woods

928
00:54:35,519 --> 00:54:39,559
than just sasquatch. Sasquatch does exist, but there's so much more.

929
00:54:39,599 --> 00:54:43,079
And he I couldn't even dive into right now the

930
00:54:43,119 --> 00:54:46,159
amount of information that he gave me. But at that

931
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,159
point he said, Jay, just do me this the next

932
00:54:49,159 --> 00:54:53,800
time you're out there, take tobacco with your left hand and.

933
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:56,559
Speaker 1: Say the Native.

934
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 5: American word would be migwitch, which is thank you, and

935
00:54:59,519 --> 00:55:01,480
it's kind of an offering, and then you just sprinkle

936
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:05,840
the tobacco right. And I'm like, okay, well, I haven't

937
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,760
been doing this in all these years, and he goes,

938
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,800
that's because Jay, this is your sunrise. And I didn't

939
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,320
know what he's talking about. I don't speak that lingo.

940
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,519
But whatever that did really opened me up more to

941
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,159
the woods and the way to approach it. You know,

942
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:26,360
am I taking a flute dancing around a tree right now? No, however,

943
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,880
I do have a really precious tree that's out there

944
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,280
that seems to be the oldest oak ever. But I

945
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,280
named grandfather, and I named that grandfather a long time

946
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,159
ago because I always said if these branches could talk,

947
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:41,639
I wonder what it could tell me over the past year.

948
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:43,079
Speaker 1: It's that big.

949
00:55:43,639 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 5: But it was just my approach to not only announcing

950
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:53,480
but having that respect going into the woods. So sorry,

951
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:54,800
I didn't mean to babble.

952
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,199
Speaker 1: No, No, I don't apologize. This is the perspective we

953
00:55:58,239 --> 00:55:58,760
need to take.

954
00:55:59,119 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's just my way of approaching. Like you

955
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,159
said advanced that I always and I do this to

956
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,960
this very day. I'll put my hands up and I

957
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,159
will announce myself. And you're wondering why I put my

958
00:56:13,159 --> 00:56:16,119
hands up. It's not a hands up. It could be

959
00:56:16,159 --> 00:56:19,760
more of a submission, and it's more of saying, hey, look,

960
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,519
I have nothing in my hands. That's what started it.

961
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,360
I would do that. I would say, there's nothing in

962
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,599
these hands, and then I would do that, and I

963
00:56:27,599 --> 00:56:30,559
would kind of turn and then i would wave to

964
00:56:30,599 --> 00:56:32,760
the woods. And I'd always share like a raccoon or

965
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,360
possible giggles when I do that, you know, but I

966
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,840
still get I still do that to this very day.

967
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,039
What started out as a joke, not a joke, but

968
00:56:42,159 --> 00:56:45,679
just kind of something funny is now kind of my.

969
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,599
Speaker 1: I's a repetition. It's a repetition.

970
00:56:48,639 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 5: So I say, it's kind of my calling card when

971
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:54,519
I go in there, if anything seeing that I don't know.

972
00:56:55,679 --> 00:56:59,239
I'm thinking doing this for almost thirteen years, and I

973
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,880
still have my head on and you know, and I'm

974
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,280
living to tell the tale on some of the things

975
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:08,840
that I've observed out there. I feel somewhat protected. I'm

976
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:13,679
not stupid going out there. I don't bring a firearm,

977
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:17,159
but I do bring my Rambo cold steel, some bear

978
00:57:17,239 --> 00:57:21,480
spray because I'm not out there too to try to

979
00:57:21,559 --> 00:57:24,119
hurt anything. At the same time, people say, well, it's

980
00:57:24,159 --> 00:57:28,840
still dumb, Jay, it's an unsafe thing. I always thought that, Hey,

981
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:33,800
you know what if these Sasquatch people are hyper sensitive

982
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,960
like a dog, could sense your fear, I believe the

983
00:57:37,039 --> 00:57:41,119
hyper sensitivity could also sense your confidence. This guy is

984
00:57:41,159 --> 00:57:44,000
too confident. This human's too confident walking out here in

985
00:57:44,039 --> 00:57:47,159
the dark. What does he have on him that's going

986
00:57:47,199 --> 00:57:50,039
to protect him? And I'm not trying to ward it

987
00:57:50,079 --> 00:57:52,880
a point. Yeah, I'm trying to. I'm trying to bring

988
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,920
him in right, you know the best I can. That's

989
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:56,559
a good point.

990
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 3: Well, gents, we've blown through that hour. Yeah, we've blown

991
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:05,039
through that our incredible time. We've had lots of great insight, Jay,

992
00:58:05,719 --> 00:58:06,599
Thanks for sharing it.

993
00:58:06,719 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: Jay.

994
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,239
Speaker 3: We've talked a little bit about your documentaries. Tell folks

995
00:58:09,239 --> 00:58:10,639
where they can find them, where they can pick up

996
00:58:10,639 --> 00:58:11,239
some copies.

997
00:58:11,559 --> 00:58:15,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely all. I actually have three documentaries in one

998
00:58:15,679 --> 00:58:21,039
special edition, all being streamed on Paraflex. It's just like Netflix,

999
00:58:22,159 --> 00:58:27,679
but it's all paranormal. It's it's everything, Bigfoot, Ufo, dog Man,

1000
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:31,320
you name it, it's it's on there. It's a great app.

1001
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,599
You can watch all of them on their streaming and

1002
00:58:35,239 --> 00:58:38,159
if you need to go to my website jabachochin dot com.

1003
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,800
I do have blu ray copies of all my films.

1004
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:44,039
Uh be happy to ship them out to you. Go

1005
00:58:44,039 --> 00:58:47,480
write my website, order them boom. Then you have them

1006
00:58:47,639 --> 00:58:49,119
as long you know, as long as people see it.

1007
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,079
You don't make millions of dollars doing this at all?

1008
00:58:52,119 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 1: And that what do you mean?

1009
00:58:55,599 --> 00:59:01,519
Speaker 5: Never never does write a name for It's not about yeah,

1010
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:06,119
it's about the truth. It's about encouraging people saying, you

1011
00:59:06,159 --> 00:59:09,360
know what, there's eight billion people in the world and

1012
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,800
everyone has their own truth. So right out there, discover

1013
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:15,760
for yourself and find your truth. And that's what I

1014
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,320
try to do is help motivate those people to get up,

1015
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,039
go out, be the window, find it yourself.

1016
00:59:23,079 --> 00:59:26,199
Speaker 1: Well, at some point, Jay, over this up and coming

1017
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:31,840
warmer season, spring summer, you and I will get back

1018
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,800
out to the Kettle again and do our tour and

1019
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,519
maybe even go down Bray Road again. Who knows. I

1020
00:59:38,599 --> 00:59:41,079
remember you telling me going down Bray Road and you're like,

1021
00:59:41,519 --> 00:59:44,679
right here, I saw something standing next to the road,

1022
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:49,320
and then you stopped and went back and it was gone.

1023
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,880
I was like, oh man, there's so much craziness going

1024
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,039
on just in that area. So yeah, I'm really looking

1025
00:59:56,079 --> 00:59:59,000
forward to hooking up with you again, and let's go

1026
00:59:59,119 --> 01:00:01,639
back out there and and make it happen again. And

1027
01:00:01,719 --> 01:00:05,239
maybe this time I'll bring a double battery packs so

1028
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:09,639
that something doesn't die so we can get some video documentation.

1029
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:12,599
Speaker 3: You never know, Vance, you never know. I don't know

1030
