<v Speaker 1>You're listening to bigflet Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.879
<v Speaker 1>this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring

3
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen

4
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.880
<v Speaker 1>something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to

5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.719
<v Speaker 1>quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,

6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 1>and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.

7
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>These are the voices of the people who've lived it.

8
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that

9
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>just might change the way you see the woods forever.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:31.199
<v Speaker 2>So stay with us.

29
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.239

30
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 2>out in the outdoors all of our life, so that's

31
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, that's what kept us involved. So part of

32
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>our thing is is hanging, is being in the woods,

33
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.959
<v Speaker 2>and we grew up that way, so that just kept

34
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 2>us involved.

35
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.439
<v Speaker 1>That's a little bit about I love it. And guys,

36
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 1>what was it that first got you into the big

37
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.959
<v Speaker 1>foot subject out there in Massachusetts?

38
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, we were teenagers and back in the seventies,

39
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.719
<v Speaker 2>seventy six actually, and we went to see the movie

40
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Sasquatched the Bigfoot and it was in Agua. It was

41
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.520
<v Speaker 2>over in the next town away from us, and it

42
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:31.520
<v Speaker 2>was it was in December or November, it was, and

43
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 2>the November December is in the middle of the winter. Yeah,

44
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>you're shoveling or snow. Yes. Anyways, this thing here was

45
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 2>out in Agua at the Twin Cinemas and we hiked

46
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 2>if you know the area we walked and color a hike.

47
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 2>It was from west Side to Agua Mile and it

48
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:54.680
<v Speaker 2>was sasquatched the legend of Bigfoot, and it was back

49
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 2>in seventy six. And that's how we got introduced to it.

50
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, it was something new to us in the

51
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Boy Scouts, like Eric was saying, and grew up in

52
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.360
<v Speaker 2>the woods and this thing was new to us, so

53
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:08.479
<v Speaker 2>it was kind of weird. It was different. And you know,

54
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>you grew up thinking one way and you heard all

55
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 2>the you know, animals and you heard about them all

56
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:15.879
<v Speaker 2>and all of a sudden they throw this thing out

57
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>there and say what you know, come see this, and

58
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>you know it was bigfoot. What the heck is a bigfoot?

59
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.360
<v Speaker 2>You know? So we did went were checked it out

60
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 2>and that was kind of how we got into It

61
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 2>was always a West coast thing was never here. Yeah,

62
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 2>so that was absolutely wild to us. It turned into

63
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.680
<v Speaker 2>a you know, a bigger deal than just going to

64
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the movies. That ended up being you know, a few

65
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.759
<v Speaker 2>weeks later there was tracks in our backyard and throughout

66
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.479
<v Speaker 2>the town in West Springfield and into Aguam up the

67
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Westield River railroad tracks and whatnot. And the tracks themselves

68
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 2>went for probably a few miles, you know, crossing the

69
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 2>river on ice up the railroad tracks into our back

70
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.759
<v Speaker 2>which is an apple orchard in a book, goes back

71
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 2>to the Westfield River on near Midnight Park. And we

72
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 2>could go as far as the park that or the river,

73
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.240
<v Speaker 2>as far as the road was here. Yeah, we were

74
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>just young and once dad said that was it, that

75
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 2>was it. So you're just following the tracks. But the

76
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.279
<v Speaker 2>tracks were out there, and that that's what kept us.

77
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.959
<v Speaker 2>That's what kept us interest. And then the media got

78
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:27.480
<v Speaker 2>involved and the police got involved, and it became a

79
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 2>hole to do because all of a sudden, you know,

80
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 2>we've got these ginormous tracks in our yard and it

81
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.360
<v Speaker 2>became a news media show. It was interesting. You can

82
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 2>actually look it up. Yeah, it's in one of you know,

83
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 2>the nineteen seventy six A Bigfoot. Yeah it's out there,

84
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 2>and it's it's out there.

85
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.519
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting because you guys just came up just a

86
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>few days ago on the show. There is an individual

87
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.040
<v Speaker 1>that had a sighting in two thousand and eight and Agam,

88
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>which is kind of the same area, right, And they

89
00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:00.160
<v Speaker 1>brought up you which that situation you just refer or to,

90
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>which I believe was in Robinson State Park, correct. I

91
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 1>think I found the newspaper for that.

92
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, Yeah, it was almost that's it. We're on

93
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.800
<v Speaker 2>the opposite side of the river of Rabbitson State Park,

94
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.079
<v Speaker 2>on the other side of the dam. So it literally

95
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.600
<v Speaker 2>came up the railroad tracks, walked through our backyard, and

96
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 2>then it went down the river and back across into

97
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:26.639
<v Speaker 2>Robinson State Park. So yeah, that that guy's got that story, right.

98
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:31.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's really interesting. How how what were the size

99
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>of these tracks do you remember?

100
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.319
<v Speaker 2>Geez? I want to say twenty inches between I think

101
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.639
<v Speaker 2>I was twenty hands. I ago seventeen to twenty inches.

102
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:42.160
<v Speaker 2>And there was there was a lot of snow. It's

103
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>deep snow too. Yeah, it had just snow, so the

104
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.759
<v Speaker 2>snow was soft and it was deep. Yeah, this guy

105
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:49.399
<v Speaker 2>had to work out. I mean, it was a if

106
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 2>you're a snowshooter and you did the walk that he did,

107
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 2>it was a heck of a hike. It was a

108
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.720
<v Speaker 2>heck of a hike. That was incredible. Absolutely did ended

109
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.160
<v Speaker 2>up turning to be a hoax. It turned out to

110
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 2>be one of the local Yeah, yeah, that's what you'll

111
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 2>you'll you'll read at one of the locals ended up

112
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.480
<v Speaker 2>seeing the same movie that we did, and he wanted

113
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.639
<v Speaker 2>to freak out the kids in the neighborhood. So he

114
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.759
<v Speaker 2>cut himself out some ywood shoes and off he went.

115
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.480
<v Speaker 2>And of course this was a new phenomena here and

116
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:21.839
<v Speaker 2>and the people just went for it. And literally the

117
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:23.680
<v Speaker 2>once he got out of hand, he didn't know what

118
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.720
<v Speaker 2>to do, so he didn't say anything. Yeah he was

119
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.839
<v Speaker 2>sixteen of this year, you know when he did it. Anyways,

120
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.920
<v Speaker 2>that that was. That was so we got started. But

121
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.199
<v Speaker 2>it was cool because they were all camped out in

122
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:39.160
<v Speaker 2>our backyard. They had, you know, at that time bigfoot

123
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:43.399
<v Speaker 2>investigators in our backyard camped out looking for bigfoot. So,

124
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:45.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, we never thought it would go to this

125
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.319
<v Speaker 2>or we're sitting here talking to you about it, but

126
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:51.199
<v Speaker 2>you know clear where it is. You know. Yeah, that

127
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 2>was pretty wild for an experience, and you know, a

128
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.839
<v Speaker 2>teenager really sparks the imagination, you know, Yeah, especially when

129
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.720
<v Speaker 2>you've been out in the woods, you know, three years

130
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.439
<v Speaker 2>and this thing doesn't exist in New England, at least

131
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:09.439
<v Speaker 2>you don't think it does. And then twenty thirteen rolls around. Yeah,

132
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.839
<v Speaker 2>that's when that's when, really you know that, that's when

133
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.600
<v Speaker 2>things really took off. It really sparked. Our interest was

134
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty thirteen. Yeah, we had a business come to Cob

135
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 2>Mountain Outdoors, and we had that for nearly twenty years,

136
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.000
<v Speaker 2>and we did it as a guiding business, and we

137
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.959
<v Speaker 2>were certified in New York State guides. We were guiding them.

138
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.759
<v Speaker 2>We were certified and everything we used to do, professional development,

139
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:38.480
<v Speaker 2>first aid certifications, you know, rock climbing, blah blah blah,

140
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.879
<v Speaker 2>we did all. And we spent a lot of time

141
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.839
<v Speaker 2>in New York paddeling and portaging up in the Saint

142
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:50.439
<v Speaker 2>Regi's Wilderness and whole ninety yards, yeah, all up through there,

143
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.639
<v Speaker 2>and it was a great area. And so in twenty thirteen,

144
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Erica and I decided we're you know, we were on

145
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.000
<v Speaker 2>our trips and you know, one of our weeks there

146
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.079
<v Speaker 2>and we had a scout group or something that we

147
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.480
<v Speaker 2>were you know, touring up to there, and we decided

148
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 2>we were going to go on vacation in that same

149
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:13.959
<v Speaker 2>area and we did so we went out September. Late September,

150
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:16.959
<v Speaker 2>so the schools were in there, all the schools went

151
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.959
<v Speaker 2>went back, everybody was off at leisuting schools were back

152
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.600
<v Speaker 2>in session and it was empty. We knew it was

153
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.759
<v Speaker 2>going to be. The atronics would be empty. Everybody would

154
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:30.560
<v Speaker 2>be gone back at work, so you'd have it would

155
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:34.080
<v Speaker 2>be nice, quiet and calm, you know, everything would start

156
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.240
<v Speaker 2>to come back to it. Nature's normal, I would say.

157
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.879
<v Speaker 2>And we decided that's when we were going. So we

158
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.080
<v Speaker 2>packed up and off we went. We got out to

159
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Long Lake and we parked car, took all the stuff

160
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:51.240
<v Speaker 2>and took off and we started paddling. We've got to

161
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:55.559
<v Speaker 2>the far end of Long Pond and there was a

162
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:59.440
<v Speaker 2>campsite off to the left, and we decided, well that's

163
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:01.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, the was big enough for us. Everything else

164
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.120
<v Speaker 2>was kind of taken at the time. Yeah, we were

165
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 2>headed to another pond, but right was in the middle,

166
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:10.279
<v Speaker 2>so we stayed there. Yeah, it was off the looked

167
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.440
<v Speaker 2>it was a nice spot for us. So we set

168
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.320
<v Speaker 2>up camp and kind of straightened it up because at

169
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.840
<v Speaker 2>first it was a little trashed. It was trashed, you know,

170
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 2>with trees and limbs, and so we kind of moved

171
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:24.360
<v Speaker 2>all of that out of the way. We never thought

172
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.120
<v Speaker 2>anything of it. Eric and I worked at Ridge Runners

173
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:31.120
<v Speaker 2>on the Appalachian Trail years ago, and when we used

174
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.519
<v Speaker 2>to brush in trails, you'd throw a bunch of debris

175
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:35.600
<v Speaker 2>and dead sticks and logs and stuff in it to

176
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.919
<v Speaker 2>camouflage trail or encourage people to stay out. That's exactly

177
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.080
<v Speaker 2>what this camp site looked like. It was crack yea

178
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.200
<v Speaker 2>with spruce tops and limbs and stuff like that. It

179
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:49.679
<v Speaker 2>was loaded with it, and it was like in the

180
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:53.080
<v Speaker 2>ad around it that is very highly unusual. There are

181
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.840
<v Speaker 2>very well camp sites. They're marked, they're monitored, there's rangers

182
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.360
<v Speaker 2>out there, they don't play out there. They'll throw you

183
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:01.080
<v Speaker 2>out if you got to many people in the group.

184
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.480
<v Speaker 2>So it was one of those sites where it's like,

185
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>what the heck is this, But it was one of

186
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.799
<v Speaker 2>those sites we wanted to stay at, so we put

187
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.000
<v Speaker 2>the effort in to clean it up. So but anyways,

188
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.679
<v Speaker 2>that's where we that's where we were, and so we

189
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:18.279
<v Speaker 2>were after we made the site, we were going to

190
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.480
<v Speaker 2>go fishing and we were going to go catch dinner.

191
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:24.399
<v Speaker 2>Actually it was at this point it was a dinner

192
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.559
<v Speaker 2>and we're looking for dinner. So we get out there

193
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.080
<v Speaker 2>and we don't take anything with us. I don't have

194
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.600
<v Speaker 2>a cell phone. Eric doesn't have a cell phone. We

195
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.320
<v Speaker 2>didn't have cell phone. If anything, we would have had

196
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:40.120
<v Speaker 2>a digital camera, you know, one of those trollways you know. Yeah,

197
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:43.200
<v Speaker 2>it was croup. Yeah, we didn't have nothing was with

198
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.639
<v Speaker 2>us half the time. It didn't work anyway. And besides that,

199
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:47.320
<v Speaker 2>we were going out for dinner. So we took a

200
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:49.840
<v Speaker 2>fly box with some movie buggers and a five way

201
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:53.679
<v Speaker 2>fly rod, and off we went. And it ended up

202
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.120
<v Speaker 2>being like a fishing story. It was catching fishing. It

203
00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.679
<v Speaker 2>if you were a fisherman, it was one of the best.

204
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.000
<v Speaker 2>So he was catching one of the best days of

205
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:06.039
<v Speaker 2>fishing I ever had. Every cast was a bass, or

206
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:08.279
<v Speaker 2>every third cast was a bass, and they were almost

207
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:12.799
<v Speaker 2>five pounds on a fly run. I felt like I

208
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:16.519
<v Speaker 2>just told him to keep paddling. Yeah it was.

209
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.759
<v Speaker 3>I said, just keep paddling, I'll catch him. And that's

210
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.720
<v Speaker 3>all I did all afternoon. So we saw this this

211
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.639
<v Speaker 3>stream off to the right, and he says, hey, let's

212
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:30.639
<v Speaker 3>go down down the stream, and I said all right.

213
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 3>So we started going down down into the stream and

214
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:35.879
<v Speaker 3>it's a little crowded.

215
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it got crowded, all right. It's like a single

216
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:42.360
<v Speaker 2>track model when you're in the front and there is

217
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.600
<v Speaker 2>no fope of seeing the outside of this the other

218
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.919
<v Speaker 2>end just spin around. I spun it around and I said,

219
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:51.879
<v Speaker 2>you go in it. So so he wasn't that bad.

220
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.960
<v Speaker 2>It was, let me tell it. It was just it was

221
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.919
<v Speaker 2>a brady stream we went into. It was It was tough,

222
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.879
<v Speaker 2>it really was. It was. It was to navigate because

223
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:03.360
<v Speaker 2>you really didn't tell which way to go. It was braided,

224
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.279
<v Speaker 2>so there was a lot of options, and we didn't

225
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.200
<v Speaker 2>know where we were going to end up because we'd

226
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.879
<v Speaker 2>never been down there. Well, we just kept following the

227
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.200
<v Speaker 2>current and lo and behow we ended up at a

228
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.919
<v Speaker 2>beaver dam and we're going right to the beaver dam.

229
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.960
<v Speaker 2>And then I start fishing there at the beaver dam. Yeah.

230
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.960
<v Speaker 2>That was the first and last time by letting fish. Yeah.

231
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.440
<v Speaker 2>So I cast over the beaver dam and I'm sitting

232
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 2>in a canoe, I'm in the p and been working

233
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.080
<v Speaker 2>all this way and I get to the beaver dam,

234
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.840
<v Speaker 2>I start, I start fishing and I cast over the

235
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:36.120
<v Speaker 2>beaver dam. And the beaver dam is about four feet

236
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:39.480
<v Speaker 2>high and I'm head level with the top of the

237
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.960
<v Speaker 2>beaver dam at the lower portion of it. And anyway,

238
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:47.720
<v Speaker 2>I catch a fish in this smally. All we caught

239
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:50.320
<v Speaker 2>were a small mouth and there're three to five pounds.

240
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:53.120
<v Speaker 2>If you ever catch small mouth, you know, they just

241
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:55.279
<v Speaker 2>bounce out of the water and dance. They're a lot

242
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 2>of fun. So anyways, were you know, we were catching

243
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.000
<v Speaker 2>the fish and this thing ounces out of water and

244
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:04.799
<v Speaker 2>starts tail dancing, and the next thing, you know, all

245
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:09.320
<v Speaker 2>hell broke the slaying. Well, actually, the one tree started

246
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:11.879
<v Speaker 2>shaking and it was just all of a sudden, you know,

247
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:14.480
<v Speaker 2>we're just sitting in a canoe fish and it was like, hey, yeah,

248
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:17.320
<v Speaker 2>I got one, and all of a sudden, this tree

249
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:20.559
<v Speaker 2>started to shake like it's in a snow globe. And

250
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:25.200
<v Speaker 2>then moments later, a second tree starts shaking. It's like,

251
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:28.200
<v Speaker 2>what the heck. So we got two trees shaking like

252
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.360
<v Speaker 2>they're in a snow globe. And then the roaring starts

253
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.919
<v Speaker 2>and growling, and now we have to go back through

254
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:39.840
<v Speaker 2>this web of tree limbs, you know, So we got

255
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.320
<v Speaker 2>that where we're sitting there like what is this and

256
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:45.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're what the heck? You know, so I'm

257
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:49.159
<v Speaker 2>still reeling in a fish and and all this roaring

258
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.600
<v Speaker 2>was going on, and we're like, what is going on

259
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.200
<v Speaker 2>with that? We don't know what it is. We can't

260
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:57.679
<v Speaker 2>see it, but the two trees are shaken, literally, like

261
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:00.840
<v Speaker 2>there is snowgow New York atm you know New York

262
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.960
<v Speaker 2>at all. You can't see ten feet in. Yeah, it

263
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:07.159
<v Speaker 2>she had the dark boreal for us. It's fancy in there,

264
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.440
<v Speaker 2>and like I said, this is dinner, so we're going

265
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:12.799
<v Speaker 2>in there. It was dark and it's dark inside at

266
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:16.200
<v Speaker 2>four o'clock outside it's still light, so it's so it's

267
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:19.360
<v Speaker 2>not bad. But let me tell you. When nothing started

268
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.639
<v Speaker 2>yelling or screaming or roaring, whatever you want to call it,

269
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.559
<v Speaker 2>it was a mix of everything. Stuff starts coming out

270
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:29.120
<v Speaker 2>of the tree there, there's whether whether whatever's out there

271
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:31.919
<v Speaker 2>is throwing it or it's breaking limbs, and there's you

272
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:36.360
<v Speaker 2>can figure Yeah, you couldn't even you couldn't either even

273
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:40.120
<v Speaker 2>put something together the an animal in your mind to

274
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.799
<v Speaker 2>make that noise. And that really kind of freaked out

275
00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.679
<v Speaker 2>because you couldn't figure out what it was. Yeah, nothing

276
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:47.759
<v Speaker 2>in the memory bank that was I mean when it was,

277
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:49.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, so it was it was a freaky experience.

278
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.080
<v Speaker 2>And we're just sitting there, We're in the middle of nowhere,

279
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:54.279
<v Speaker 2>and all of a sudden, these trees are shaken and

280
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:56.720
<v Speaker 2>it's going off and you could feel it. You could

281
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:00.039
<v Speaker 2>feel the yell and yeah, yeah, it was like you

282
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.240
<v Speaker 2>get a ten euge in content you could fundle to

283
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:04.600
<v Speaker 2>read on for you. It was crazy. Yeah. So, and

284
00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:07.399
<v Speaker 2>actually that's what made us start to move back because

285
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:10.240
<v Speaker 2>I actually that's when we started getting out. Well, I

286
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:13.519
<v Speaker 2>actually wanted to go further, but the beaver dam was

287
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:15.600
<v Speaker 2>in front of me, and they're like, no way, no way,

288
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.720
<v Speaker 2>we're out. We're out. So if you could picture the

289
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.039
<v Speaker 2>cartoon at this point, it breaks in half and I'm

290
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:23.399
<v Speaker 2>going one way, he's going the other. And that's that

291
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:25.840
<v Speaker 2>was kind of where we were at because I wanted

292
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.840
<v Speaker 2>to see it and he's like, no, we're done. And

293
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:32.279
<v Speaker 2>it was. It was that scary actually, because you could

294
00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:35.120
<v Speaker 2>it's crazy in your chest. You could feel actually your

295
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:38.679
<v Speaker 2>whole body when that thing roared with the tone of

296
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:41.639
<v Speaker 2>it as it went high, the vibration on your body

297
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:44.200
<v Speaker 2>got He still had a paddle out of the stream

298
00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:47.360
<v Speaker 2>to get away from whatever this thing was fighting their

299
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.159
<v Speaker 2>way through, and it wasn't that far away from the

300
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.159
<v Speaker 2>side of there. It would have to be thirty yards

301
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.159
<v Speaker 2>in maybe, so as it as it got louder, we

302
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:59.320
<v Speaker 2>backed out because we actually thought, whatever this thing is,

303
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:02.360
<v Speaker 2>it never stopped shaking the trees, and it never stopped

304
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.399
<v Speaker 2>growling and yelling and making the noise that it did.

305
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:09.720
<v Speaker 2>You never ever stopped. When we were noticing that, we

306
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:12.480
<v Speaker 2>actually say, hey, dude, that thing just hasn't even stopped.

307
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.159
<v Speaker 2>And it went on this this now has gone on

308
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.360
<v Speaker 2>for By the time we actually backed out and got

309
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.600
<v Speaker 2>into it, the existing lake that we were in was

310
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:25.120
<v Speaker 2>maybe ten minutes, maybe fifteen, and we were and this

311
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:30.159
<v Speaker 2>thing never ever stopped shaking or the sound never ever stopped.

312
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.480
<v Speaker 2>So nothing took a breath, all right, because the sound

313
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:39.519
<v Speaker 2>never stopped. It continuus roaring crazy for almost fifteen minutes,

314
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:42.679
<v Speaker 2>all bent ten twelve, fifteen, and I mean it didn't

315
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.480
<v Speaker 2>really We were out in the middle of the lake

316
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:49.240
<v Speaker 2>and that's when it finally he stopped as fast as

317
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:52.320
<v Speaker 2>it started. It just stopped, yep, And we just kind

318
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.559
<v Speaker 2>of sat there, you know, and we just kind of

319
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.080
<v Speaker 2>looked around, like what just happened? And we're trying to

320
00:16:58.240 --> 00:16:59.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, Hey, what was that? Was that a bear?

321
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Was a mountain lion? Where they fighting or something? What's

322
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:05.799
<v Speaker 2>going on? We're there, you know when you start paddling

323
00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:09.640
<v Speaker 2>away and then you're you're in. The canoe was sixteen

324
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.200
<v Speaker 2>feet long, and all I said was, you know, we're

325
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.759
<v Speaker 2>on the same side as this. Yeah, that's where our

326
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:18.559
<v Speaker 2>campsite was, on the same side as all of this

327
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.200
<v Speaker 2>took place, maybe two hundred yards away. Yeah, so there's

328
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.119
<v Speaker 2>no run into your car, there's no you know for

329
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:29.920
<v Speaker 2>no dunkin Donuts, no nothing. It was kind of back

330
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:33.200
<v Speaker 2>to your scary little campsite that you had to clean

331
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.359
<v Speaker 2>all that debris out of it and wondering why and

332
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:38.960
<v Speaker 2>now all of a sudden this so yeah, i'd say

333
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:42.240
<v Speaker 2>it was. It was a long night that night, and yeah,

334
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.599
<v Speaker 2>we had a fire all yeah, yeah, we had a

335
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.240
<v Speaker 2>deer come through because we didn't really we heard a

336
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:50.680
<v Speaker 2>deer come through. Its crazy. And then we got out

337
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:53.599
<v Speaker 2>of there that morning, you know, probably just the sun

338
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.519
<v Speaker 2>came up we could paddle. So it's probably five o'clock,

339
00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:59.559
<v Speaker 2>five thirty in the morning. We're heading out. Now, you

340
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:02.480
<v Speaker 2>got to we're guides. We were guides up here for

341
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:05.720
<v Speaker 2>ten or fifty. Yeah, we know this place very well,

342
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:09.160
<v Speaker 2>and this is never ever, ever, ever, ever happened ever

343
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:15.839
<v Speaker 2>and exactly exactly it never happened. But you know, then

344
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:19.799
<v Speaker 2>then years later, during a couple of years go by,

345
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:24.079
<v Speaker 2>and we started talking to people. We're talking to different

346
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:28.319
<v Speaker 2>people that Facebook features. We didn't have Facebook at the times.

347
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:31.519
<v Speaker 2>When we finally got into Facebook or got a phone

348
00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:34.079
<v Speaker 2>or got a computer that we could get into Facebook,

349
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:38.519
<v Speaker 2>we ran into other groups that were out there and

350
00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:41.759
<v Speaker 2>people with the same experience listen to their story and

351
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.319
<v Speaker 2>it was like, hey, you know, we that happened to us.

352
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.960
<v Speaker 2>We had this happen. So we went back out there

353
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:51.559
<v Speaker 2>the following year or a year after, and we went

354
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:53.440
<v Speaker 2>out and we checked. I think it was the very

355
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.160
<v Speaker 2>next year. We went out there and we went right

356
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.400
<v Speaker 2>back to where we were and we got in there.

357
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:03.240
<v Speaker 2>We measured the trees. The trees were nine inches, then

358
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:06.279
<v Speaker 2>ten inches, you know, give or take eight to ten inches,

359
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:09.200
<v Speaker 2>and almost ten feet apart. Yeah, and these things were

360
00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:12.160
<v Speaker 2>shaken like like they were in a snooke head, just

361
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:16.960
<v Speaker 2>like some surreal crazy, very very weird and you say, hey,

362
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:19.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's they were the only two trees in

363
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:21.759
<v Speaker 2>the whole forest. You know, we've been asked many times,

364
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.359
<v Speaker 2>was it a bear? Was it this? Well, the bear,

365
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:28.279
<v Speaker 2>if it was, it never ever ever stopped making a

366
00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:32.759
<v Speaker 2>crazy loud screen noise. And if it were to hit

367
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:34.759
<v Speaker 2>the ground, you would have thought you would have heard

368
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.079
<v Speaker 2>a bear make a huffing sound or some type of noise.

369
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.480
<v Speaker 2>But but this year that just didn't do that. The

370
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.319
<v Speaker 2>noise that never stopped at this point, now you know,

371
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.480
<v Speaker 2>we had no clue, but not in Monday morning quarterbre

372
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.920
<v Speaker 2>and and now we believe there was multiple it's possible

373
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:56.680
<v Speaker 2>multiple bigfoot there and between the roaring, one got a

374
00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:58.559
<v Speaker 2>breath and the other one is roaring, so you know,

375
00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:01.480
<v Speaker 2>you didn't really notice it, right, and that may have

376
00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:05.640
<v Speaker 2>been how that's why we always took it as continual

377
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:08.640
<v Speaker 2>roaring when they might have had multiples and they're you know,

378
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:11.920
<v Speaker 2>doing their thing and yelling and streaming and roaring just

379
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.640
<v Speaker 2>to scare us and all. I mean, then it didn't

380
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.920
<v Speaker 2>sound like it stopped. Well, it was all different knocks

381
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.559
<v Speaker 2>in different tones, so it's you know, there's no way

382
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:24.039
<v Speaker 2>to decipher who did that or this. You know, it

383
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:28.440
<v Speaker 2>was just a cacophony of roaring and streaming. It is bizarre,

384
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:31.359
<v Speaker 2>and we turned around and that we came to a

385
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:34.759
<v Speaker 2>conclusion later on that they were fishing. There were there

386
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:38.000
<v Speaker 2>could have been multiples, we figured three at least, and

387
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.880
<v Speaker 2>they were fishing. They were pushing. Their hands are like

388
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:45.160
<v Speaker 2>big first Basement's mitch, you know, these things are enormous,

389
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.599
<v Speaker 2>giant match yeap. So when you got four of those

390
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.720
<v Speaker 2>things pushing through the through the stream in into a

391
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:54.759
<v Speaker 2>into a beaver dam, now mind you, this is a

392
00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:58.240
<v Speaker 2>small Yeah, it's just a little a small creek coming

393
00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:01.440
<v Speaker 2>into a and it hits beaver dam that's kind of

394
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:04.079
<v Speaker 2>eight picks in shape, so it's got of a curve

395
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:07.519
<v Speaker 2>to it, and the curve is only you know, it's

396
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:10.880
<v Speaker 2>probably only thirty feet wide, forty feet wide. This whole damn,

397
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.519
<v Speaker 2>This whole thing when it's holding back and the stream

398
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:16.039
<v Speaker 2>coming in is only four or five feet wide, and

399
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:18.839
<v Speaker 2>it might be knee deep if that. So, if you

400
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:21.519
<v Speaker 2>got two or three bigfoot and they're walking with their

401
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:25.720
<v Speaker 2>paws and their fingers, you know, and as big as

402
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:29.960
<v Speaker 2>they are, it's like a wall moving whatever's in front

403
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.240
<v Speaker 2>of them down into that holding pin. What is we're

404
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:36.200
<v Speaker 2>calling it a beaver dam. And that's where they're pushing

405
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:39.880
<v Speaker 2>all this fish and they were fine with us fishing

406
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:42.880
<v Speaker 2>all the way up until that point where I pulled

407
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:45.519
<v Speaker 2>the fish out. And that's when one of them dudes

408
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:47.839
<v Speaker 2>just had it and they said, no, you're out and

409
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:50.880
<v Speaker 2>they went off and they said, no, this is our

410
00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:54.119
<v Speaker 2>fishing hole. Get out, And that's exactly what they told us,

411
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:55.039
<v Speaker 2>and we'd left it.

412
00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:00.319
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that is such a wild I mean, I see

413
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.880
<v Speaker 1>how that would that would push you into where you

414
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:08.319
<v Speaker 1>guys are today. That is just crazy. And there's there

415
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:10.279
<v Speaker 1>was no easy way to get out of there. Once

416
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:14.279
<v Speaker 1>you describe, you know, how big the stream actually was.

417
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:16.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're not getting either quick for sure.

418
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh oh no, not at all. So that's what we think,

419
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:24.839
<v Speaker 2>you know. And and now, like I said, we're Monday

420
00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:29.799
<v Speaker 2>Morning for bad guys. But in twenty thirteen, we were

421
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:32.519
<v Speaker 2>just kind of cutting our teeth on this bigfoot thing. Really,

422
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:35.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, we think we had an experience. We started

423
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:38.799
<v Speaker 2>hanging out with Squats A Chusts was a group at

424
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:41.799
<v Speaker 2>the time. We're local. We got involved with those guys,

425
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:45.279
<v Speaker 2>We got involved with the BFRO and we did that

426
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:49.480
<v Speaker 2>for Sheeze almost thirty four fourteen fifteen years now, we've

427
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:52.119
<v Speaker 2>been doing it and now we're doing our own thing.

428
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:54.799
<v Speaker 2>We've got the Vogel Brothers and we do the Cobble

429
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:59.839
<v Speaker 2>Mountain Critter Project. And but you know, throughout our investigations,

430
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:04.839
<v Speaker 2>good we've had you know, Eric and I've had a

431
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:08.799
<v Speaker 2>Class A sighting sure, twenty sixteen, twenty eighteen, we had

432
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:11.720
<v Speaker 2>exciting it. We've had a sighting through a fleer and

433
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:18.000
<v Speaker 2>smell and new yours encounters all right, ours with a

434
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:20.960
<v Speaker 2>few people at the same time. So really that's the

435
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:24.039
<v Speaker 2>best part of when we talk about our experiences. It's

436
00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:26.240
<v Speaker 2>always been with a group of people. Most of the

437
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:29.480
<v Speaker 2>time we were leading expeditions or we had groups of

438
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:33.240
<v Speaker 2>people with us. There's multiple witnesses that can verify. It's

439
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:35.680
<v Speaker 2>not just the guy's coming up with a story. There's

440
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:40.519
<v Speaker 2>multiple and not just bigfoot orbs and other days. So

441
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:41.519
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of nutting.

442
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Can you share one of those experiences where you were

443
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:47.640
<v Speaker 1>able to have a Class A sighting of one?

444
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:54.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm going to fill my coffee and that is right, Okay,

445
00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:58.799
<v Speaker 2>Well it started. It started on a Friday night. We

446
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:00.960
<v Speaker 2>started we were up here at up at the camp.

447
00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:04.400
<v Speaker 2>We had an extpedition going on there were about twelve people,

448
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.519
<v Speaker 2>maybe fourteen, yes Western mess and we pulled in and

449
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:12.279
<v Speaker 2>we were all getting out of the cars and we're

450
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:14.920
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, these kids come running out of

451
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.519
<v Speaker 2>the woods and adults and they're saying someone's throwing rocks

452
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:23.160
<v Speaker 2>and they're yelling at us, and we're like what. Tim's

453
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:25.359
<v Speaker 2>the ranger here at the camp and he says, there's

454
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:29.559
<v Speaker 2>nobody here, and the teachers turned around and says, somebody

455
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.799
<v Speaker 2>is yelling and somebody is throwing rocks, so they're running out.

456
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:37.519
<v Speaker 2>We go in, but we couldn't find anything. We couldn't

457
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.519
<v Speaker 2>find anybody, couldn't find any trash, couldn't find anything. So

458
00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:44.720
<v Speaker 2>they all the kids and the teachers took off because

459
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:48.519
<v Speaker 2>they didn't want to stay, so we all could take off.

460
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:51.319
<v Speaker 2>And we're sitting around the fire, we're talking, getting ready

461
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:54.759
<v Speaker 2>having dinner, and then we're gonna go out into the

462
00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:59.000
<v Speaker 2>camp and we're broken into groups and everybody each group

463
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:02.400
<v Speaker 2>had had a fleer and I had a father and

464
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:06.279
<v Speaker 2>son with me. Go out into the field and we're

465
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:08.680
<v Speaker 2>standing next to a tree and it's about one two

466
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:12.599
<v Speaker 2>o'clock in the morning and his son's looking at a

467
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:17.559
<v Speaker 2>mouse running around and the gentleman I'm standing beside. We're

468
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:20.640
<v Speaker 2>just kind of talking to each other real low. And

469
00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:25.559
<v Speaker 2>I looked across the field and I see this. This

470
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:29.799
<v Speaker 2>orange is reddish, you know, a yellow oranges ball, about

471
00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:32.599
<v Speaker 2>the size of a beach ball. And it's about thirty

472
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:35.519
<v Speaker 2>feet in the air from where, you know, where I'm

473
00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:37.880
<v Speaker 2>looking at. It's a good over one hundred yards away.

474
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:40.359
<v Speaker 2>But it's one in the morning, and it's pitch black.

475
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:44.160
<v Speaker 2>And I looked at the gentleman beside me, and he

476
00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:46.960
<v Speaker 2>just he looked at me. He looked back at the

477
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:50.240
<v Speaker 2>at the glowing ball, and we watched it for a

478
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:52.519
<v Speaker 2>good ten seconds, and it just went up in the

479
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:57.519
<v Speaker 2>air and gone. We were like, what just happened? But

480
00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:59.519
<v Speaker 2>we didn't say anything. We just kind of looked at

481
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:03.400
<v Speaker 2>each other and never experienced. Yeah, the had you know,

482
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:06.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, nothing is supposed to be over there. I mean,

483
00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:11.079
<v Speaker 2>he's been a ranger here for almost fifteen years, you

484
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:14.160
<v Speaker 2>know what the lord was, Yeah, you know, and you see,

485
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:16.559
<v Speaker 2>you never heard of one. So that night there wasn't

486
00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:18.799
<v Speaker 2>any It's just an open lot. There's not supposed to

487
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:21.920
<v Speaker 2>be anything there. So the following day we all get together.

488
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:25.200
<v Speaker 2>It's been raining now for about four days. So we

489
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:28.079
<v Speaker 2>all get together where Tim stay here. He had a

490
00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:31.799
<v Speaker 2>he was teaching a fishing class for the state. So

491
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:34.920
<v Speaker 2>we turned around and we took off and we went

492
00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:39.039
<v Speaker 2>over to Savoy. We went to one spot and it

493
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:41.680
<v Speaker 2>was nobody wanted to get out and it was just

494
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:46.119
<v Speaker 2>raining too hard, so we went. We drove to another

495
00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:50.960
<v Speaker 2>spot deeper into Savoy and it stopped. It slowed down

496
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:53.759
<v Speaker 2>enough to where most everybody went. There are a few

497
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:56.000
<v Speaker 2>cars that there are few people that didn't get out,

498
00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:58.359
<v Speaker 2>but they said we'll wait for you here. We said, okay,

499
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:01.640
<v Speaker 2>so we walked in and we get in. We're hiking

500
00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:07.039
<v Speaker 2>into this place called Balance Rock in Savoy and there's

501
00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:10.319
<v Speaker 2>always two gentlemen that come with the group that'd like

502
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:13.480
<v Speaker 2>to drop back, and they like to watch the group

503
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:16.839
<v Speaker 2>to see if the group is being watched. It makes

504
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:20.000
<v Speaker 2>sense to you. And we had a father and son

505
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:24.400
<v Speaker 2>team go up in front of us. So we're kind

506
00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:26.599
<v Speaker 2>of we I'm in the in with the group of

507
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:29.319
<v Speaker 2>about nine or ten people were walking up. We get

508
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:33.880
<v Speaker 2>up the Balance Rock. We're standing there. Everybody's listening, and

509
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.119
<v Speaker 2>we asked if anybody wanted to make a bigfoot call,

510
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:40.839
<v Speaker 2>and this little. This young young boy says, I will,

511
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:44.960
<v Speaker 2>so he gives out a bigfoot call. But I said

512
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:47.599
<v Speaker 2>to myself, I'm saying, wow, that thing. It was so

513
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:52.200
<v Speaker 2>soft and so quiet. I don't think they heard anything. Well,

514
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:54.480
<v Speaker 2>the two guys that were behind us come running up

515
00:27:54.519 --> 00:27:57.039
<v Speaker 2>and they say, hey, we've got we've got whistles back here.

516
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:01.279
<v Speaker 2>And at the same time, the gentleman and the guy

517
00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:03.279
<v Speaker 2>in the sun up in the front sent the sun

518
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:04.960
<v Speaker 2>back and see he says, hey, we got some kind

519
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:07.880
<v Speaker 2>of knocking going on up here in the front. Who

520
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:10.000
<v Speaker 2>We're like what? So we just kind of walked in

521
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:14.319
<v Speaker 2>and fanned out in a forty five. So I walked

522
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:18.200
<v Speaker 2>in and I stood on this little rock. It had

523
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:20.359
<v Speaker 2>moss all around it, but the rock was shown, so

524
00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:22.559
<v Speaker 2>I was standing on it. It was a higher elevation,

525
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:27.200
<v Speaker 2>not high enough, but it was high. So I'm standing

526
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:29.480
<v Speaker 2>there and there were a dozen people in the woods

527
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:33.920
<v Speaker 2>all looking and I have an orange rain jacket, so

528
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I really stuck out and we're I'm looking around. I

529
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:42.240
<v Speaker 2>don't see anything, and it's really quiet. So I kind

530
00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:45.039
<v Speaker 2>of bent myself down at my knees so I could

531
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:47.599
<v Speaker 2>look lower to see if I could see Leig movement

532
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:51.759
<v Speaker 2>or deer walking by or something and all, and I

533
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:54.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of noticed this big black thing that wasn't there

534
00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:58.720
<v Speaker 2>a second ago. So I kind of stood up and went,

535
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I leaned to the left. This thing leaned to the left,

536
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:06.480
<v Speaker 2>and I went, what was that? And when I stood

537
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:11.319
<v Speaker 2>back up, it stood up and turned and I went, what,

538
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.960
<v Speaker 2>I it's there, and I pointed and I started running

539
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:19.799
<v Speaker 2>right at it. And there was a gentleman beside me

540
00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:22.960
<v Speaker 2>with a go pro, and there was another gentleman on

541
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:26.480
<v Speaker 2>the other side of him that saw the lower half

542
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.039
<v Speaker 2>at the same time I saw the upper half moving

543
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.079
<v Speaker 2>and he ran into the same frame of the go

544
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:37.680
<v Speaker 2>pro together pointing in the same direction as I was.

545
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:40.960
<v Speaker 2>He saw the bottom, I saw the top. You can't

546
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:43.359
<v Speaker 2>see any And there was a three laying down and

547
00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:46.000
<v Speaker 2>the guy would in the middle was standing right in

548
00:29:46.079 --> 00:29:48.799
<v Speaker 2>front of a tree where this big foot was standing.

549
00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Unbelievable to say, what you see is two people running

550
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:55.400
<v Speaker 2>pointing at a tree. Yeah, that's what you see. But

551
00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:01.759
<v Speaker 2>it was there. So we turned around and everybody else

552
00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:05.000
<v Speaker 2>came over, and we're looking around to see if we

553
00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:09.319
<v Speaker 2>can find some tracks, and we can't find nothing. And

554
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:13.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm going, that's crazy. It was there and the other

555
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:15.759
<v Speaker 2>and the other guy says yeah. He says, I saw

556
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:18.720
<v Speaker 2>the lades move, and I says, I watched it turn it.

557
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:22.559
<v Speaker 2>Teeter tottered with me. I says, oh, I can't believe this,

558
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:24.680
<v Speaker 2>I said, And my brother's not with me. I said,

559
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:27.799
<v Speaker 2>that's impossible. This this is crazy. I said, I got

560
00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:29.759
<v Speaker 2>to get on back here. So when we went back

561
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:32.119
<v Speaker 2>to the camp, I said, Tim, you got to come

562
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:34.599
<v Speaker 2>with me tomorrow. You just got to. I says, you

563
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:37.480
<v Speaker 2>won't believe what happened. So I told the whole story.

564
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.799
<v Speaker 2>We drive back up, we go in, we get it,

565
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:44.200
<v Speaker 2>We get up to the balance rocket, we go in,

566
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:47.799
<v Speaker 2>and we're going through the whole story again. Show them.

567
00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Showed them the rock where I was showing. We brought

568
00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:54.160
<v Speaker 2>out the range finder and a tape measure. I had

569
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:57.200
<v Speaker 2>him walked to the tree where I saw it. I

570
00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:00.279
<v Speaker 2>pulled out the range finder. It was forty yards wds

571
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:03.440
<v Speaker 2>from me, and then I turned around and I said him,

572
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:06.200
<v Speaker 2>start raising your hand. So he raised his hand. I said, no,

573
00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:10.519
<v Speaker 2>gotta go up. He got his hat and then he

574
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:12.640
<v Speaker 2>went up onto Then he had to get a stick

575
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:14.880
<v Speaker 2>and go up with the hat and it stopped about

576
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:17.039
<v Speaker 2>eight and a half nine feet and it was like

577
00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:20.039
<v Speaker 2>I was looking at a sheet of plywood. When I

578
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:21.960
<v Speaker 2>saw it, it had to be almost four feet wide.

579
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:25.039
<v Speaker 2>And I only saw a part of it when it moved,

580
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:28.559
<v Speaker 2>and I and there was nothing, but there was nothing

581
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:32.240
<v Speaker 2>there when that day that had happened, we went up

582
00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:35.799
<v Speaker 2>there and I'm going through the whole scenario scenario, after

583
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:39.720
<v Speaker 2>we measured it. I was on one side of the tree,

584
00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:41.680
<v Speaker 2>he was on the other. And he comes walking down

585
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:44.640
<v Speaker 2>the tree and he goes, wow, look at this. And

586
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:51.079
<v Speaker 2>there was a track, beautiful footprint track, Yeah, seventeen and

587
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:53.799
<v Speaker 2>a half eight and a half inches wide at the

588
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:56.519
<v Speaker 2>top and the heel was four inches deep and it

589
00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:58.559
<v Speaker 2>was five and a half five five and a half

590
00:31:58.599 --> 00:32:02.279
<v Speaker 2>inches wide. It was. It was a big track. And

591
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:06.599
<v Speaker 2>seven feet away second track, we found the ball of

592
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:09.559
<v Speaker 2>the second track of the other foot. And the reason

593
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:12.400
<v Speaker 2>why it was just the ball was because there was

594
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:15.880
<v Speaker 2>a root and the toes caught the root and it

595
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:19.160
<v Speaker 2>peeled the bark off the roof. But you can't, you can't,

596
00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:23.440
<v Speaker 2>It just doesn't work. So you get the ball. But

597
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:26.119
<v Speaker 2>when you put the ball, when you put the ball

598
00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:29.839
<v Speaker 2>of one foot with the footprint. They're at the same depth,

599
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:32.680
<v Speaker 2>so you know it was the same creature. But the

600
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:35.400
<v Speaker 2>two gentlemen that were on the other side of that

601
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:38.880
<v Speaker 2>path never saw it coming at them. And they were

602
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:41.759
<v Speaker 2>right there, the two gentlemen that were behind us, they

603
00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:44.440
<v Speaker 2>came down the same path that this thing was headed

604
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:47.599
<v Speaker 2>and they never saw it. Yeah, So what does that

605
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:49.119
<v Speaker 2>tell you? You know what I mean, where does it go?

606
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:52.079
<v Speaker 2>Why did twelve people miss it? How did twelve people

607
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:54.119
<v Speaker 2>miss it? And why did we only get two tracks

608
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:57.440
<v Speaker 2>out of it? You know, nothing moved, he said. Reason

609
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:01.400
<v Speaker 2>never moved. There were no snapping, there was there was

610
00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:05.039
<v Speaker 2>there was nothing. It was dead quiet. Yeah, but yet

611
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:08.640
<v Speaker 2>there's the track, there's a half a second track and

612
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:11.359
<v Speaker 2>no one's and no one else saw this thing. I

613
00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:16.000
<v Speaker 2>just it's crazy. So I when after he found that,

614
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:18.559
<v Speaker 2>we we got our friend of ours to come back.

615
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:21.480
<v Speaker 2>He was going, he was he was on his way

616
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:23.279
<v Speaker 2>to a ball game. He turned around and he came

617
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:25.519
<v Speaker 2>back to We walked out to the end of the death.

618
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:28.119
<v Speaker 2>We met him at the dirt road covered the treads

619
00:33:28.200 --> 00:33:31.400
<v Speaker 2>so they wouldn't be hit by animals. And yeah, we

620
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:32.960
<v Speaker 2>met him out on the dirt road. We got in

621
00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:36.559
<v Speaker 2>his truck and we drove in. Before we drove in,

622
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:39.480
<v Speaker 2>we had a roar. Yes, we were driving, Yeah, we

623
00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:42.200
<v Speaker 2>were driving in. I was in the front, Tim was

624
00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:45.519
<v Speaker 2>behind me on the passenger side. And there was a

625
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:47.680
<v Speaker 2>roar that came up off of that the top of

626
00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:51.079
<v Speaker 2>the mountain. That sounded just like the roar that we

627
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:54.319
<v Speaker 2>heard in New York. And the depth and them same

628
00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:58.799
<v Speaker 2>almost the same one. It was. It was incredibly close

629
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:02.240
<v Speaker 2>together and it must have been a warning setting out

630
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:04.160
<v Speaker 2>here they come again, you know, they're coming back in.

631
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:06.880
<v Speaker 2>So when we went in there the other guy was,

632
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:09.039
<v Speaker 2>he was standing there, he was looking at it. He goes, no,

633
00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:11.960
<v Speaker 2>he says, I can't believe we didn't see that, And

634
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:14.920
<v Speaker 2>there it was. So we casted both tracks. So we

635
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:18.000
<v Speaker 2>have two casts, and like you said, you know we

636
00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:21.760
<v Speaker 2>there one is it lacks toe prints, but it's got

637
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:24.599
<v Speaker 2>heel definition, it's got the it goes in real deep,

638
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:27.559
<v Speaker 2>so it shows you where the impact was the initial

639
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:33.360
<v Speaker 2>fight or flight lands boom gives you a full foot track.

640
00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:35.840
<v Speaker 2>And then the second one is just the ball of

641
00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:38.639
<v Speaker 2>the foot. And like you said, the reason why we

642
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:41.079
<v Speaker 2>cast it is because it's the same depth as the

643
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:44.199
<v Speaker 2>heel strength from the track before, so it shows you

644
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:47.519
<v Speaker 2>something the same weight made normally here in New England,

645
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:50.119
<v Speaker 2>it's hard to get one track ned never mind too

646
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:54.440
<v Speaker 2>why I don't know, but that's definitely a cool conversation

647
00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:55.199
<v Speaker 2>to have as well.

648
00:34:56.519 --> 00:34:58.639
<v Speaker 1>Wow, this is guys, I've so.

649
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:03.119
<v Speaker 2>Right a Skavoy state for ye Savoy right here? Man.

650
00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:06.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I used to do a lot of outdoor stuff

651
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:08.159
<v Speaker 1>with my father growing up, and like I've been to

652
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:10.760
<v Speaker 1>that Balancing Rock area. I know because I grew up

653
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:14.400
<v Speaker 1>in Northfield and we would take root too over and

654
00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:18.519
<v Speaker 1>I can't explain to people how wild the northwest corner

655
00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:19.719
<v Speaker 1>of Massachusetts is.

656
00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Is absolutely crazy.

657
00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm just blown away. I mean I can totally see

658
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:28.679
<v Speaker 1>that you would have that experience in Savoy. Isn't that

659
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the same area where Jonathan wilcad his stuff too?

660
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:37.719
<v Speaker 2>Yes? Yes, same state for its different areas. Matter of fact,

661
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:40.360
<v Speaker 2>he is the gentleman that I was referring to. Okay,

662
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:44.800
<v Speaker 2>this gentleman. Yeah, we made him tell his own story.

663
00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:50.400
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, sure, sure it's increating. People can watch that

664
00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:55.159
<v Speaker 1>on Small Town Monsters has a really good episode. I'll

665
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:57.960
<v Speaker 1>put the link out the show notes with him. But

666
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:00.639
<v Speaker 1>oh my goodness, that's awesome. I've heard so many things

667
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:04.599
<v Speaker 1>from southwest Massachusetts, but not the northwest corner. And man,

668
00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, want to just to make sure

669
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:10.880
<v Speaker 1>that I get it in. But something I ask in

670
00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:15.119
<v Speaker 1>Massachusetts episodes just in case, is there's got to be

671
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:19.360
<v Speaker 1>someone out there someday who can who has experienced something

672
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:21.239
<v Speaker 1>in Franklin County. I don't know if you're familiar with

673
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:24.599
<v Speaker 1>that area. It's further east and you've got like Greenfield

674
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:28.239
<v Speaker 1>and Northfield and Gill and Warwick and all that good stuff.

675
00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:30.719
<v Speaker 1>And have you guys ever heard anything from out in

676
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:31.159
<v Speaker 1>that area.

677
00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I have read stories from out in that area. Yes,

678
00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:40.199
<v Speaker 2>there's not too Many's the one I'm familiar with. You're

679
00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:43.480
<v Speaker 2>talking about Zaha Rose Crossing I route too, like on

680
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:47.320
<v Speaker 2>the Mohawk Trail. Yeah, no, that's that's the one we're

681
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:51.920
<v Speaker 2>talking about. Franklin County. There's not too to be honest,

682
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:56.719
<v Speaker 2>it's just a weird place that doesn't get that much reports.

683
00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:59.079
<v Speaker 2>I haven't had that many reports. Yeah, and we tried,

684
00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:01.679
<v Speaker 2>we've urged gone in there and tried to pull out,

685
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:03.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, get people to talk open up to us.

686
00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:07.519
<v Speaker 2>And all the other counties had heavy reporting. But the

687
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:11.639
<v Speaker 2>other ones like we've just had and Beckett, Blandford, Russell

688
00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:15.880
<v Speaker 2>and the hilltowns and Western mess and the hilltowns. We've

689
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:21.639
<v Speaker 2>got almost a dozen reports between wood knocking and woops vocalizations.

690
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:24.840
<v Speaker 2>And one person said he's heard it chattered kind of thing,

691
00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:28.280
<v Speaker 2>So but I don't, you know, that's what he's saying.

692
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:32.719
<v Speaker 2>So he's we've had chatter. We've had whoops and numerous

693
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:38.320
<v Speaker 2>wood knocking reports this year alone just in our local area.

694
00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:40.519
<v Speaker 2>And we get that through the Cobble Mountain Pater and

695
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:44.400
<v Speaker 2>really fall hasn't even come yet. That's when that that's

696
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:51.000
<v Speaker 2>when over November starts, really hartst season, you know. Yeah,

697
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:53.000
<v Speaker 2>And when we say that, you know a lot of

698
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:56.360
<v Speaker 2>people think, oh, you know corn and the farmers. Now

699
00:37:56.519 --> 00:37:59.519
<v Speaker 2>right now, the white oaks are dropping and the oak

700
00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:02.960
<v Speaker 2>forest if you look at the oak forest at the

701
00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:07.000
<v Speaker 2>thirty thousand foot level, it's huge. So it's in the

702
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:11.000
<v Speaker 2>metric tons of oaks that are falling that there's it's

703
00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:14.360
<v Speaker 2>feeding everything from the moles walls to the turkeys, to

704
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:18.800
<v Speaker 2>the deer, to bigfoot, everything in between. That's the harvest

705
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:22.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about. And we have plenty and right now

706
00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:26.039
<v Speaker 2>the white oaks are dropping or they dropped in was

707
00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:29.039
<v Speaker 2>it the more in the summer and the red oaks

708
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:32.400
<v Speaker 2>will be dropping a little bit later. And literally when

709
00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:35.599
<v Speaker 2>you walk around here on this property, it sounds like

710
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:38.079
<v Speaker 2>you need a hard hat because the oaks will fall

711
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:41.599
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, you know, like you know, raining rocks.

712
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:46.559
<v Speaker 2>So there's plenty of food. There's plenty of food. I

713
00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:51.639
<v Speaker 2>just think the our area, and let's say the northeast

714
00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:55.960
<v Speaker 2>is a quilted thing of vegetation. If you look at

715
00:38:56.000 --> 00:39:00.159
<v Speaker 2>the big view and there's fresh logging which which gives

716
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:04.239
<v Speaker 2>you certain foods. There's old growth which gives you certain comforts,

717
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:06.599
<v Speaker 2>and there's other things that gives you, you know, the

718
00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:09.760
<v Speaker 2>farm land and the agriculture and the quiet, and you know,

719
00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:13.480
<v Speaker 2>this is a network of geographic stuff that makes New

720
00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:17.400
<v Speaker 2>England a great area. And for US, Western Mass has

721
00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:19.599
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of that right here. Yeah.

722
00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:22.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it doesn't get enough credit. All the

723
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:26.039
<v Speaker 1>stuff going on everywhere from the kabin to down in

724
00:39:26.119 --> 00:39:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Mount Washington in the corner of Mass. There's a lot

725
00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:31.920
<v Speaker 1>of crazy stuff going on. But you know, a pattern

726
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:35.079
<v Speaker 1>that I keep getting in reports when I talk to

727
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:38.679
<v Speaker 1>people for the podcast is that over the years there's

728
00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:42.199
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people that have seen what they describe

729
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:45.960
<v Speaker 1>as like a white bigfoot kind of north of Springfield

730
00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Cobbin area. But it's really interesting. Have you guys run

731
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:51.119
<v Speaker 1>into that.

732
00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:55.719
<v Speaker 2>I've heard that stories. I've heard those stories too. I

733
00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:59.519
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen it myself, but yeah, I've heard that story. Yeah. Well,

734
00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:02.360
<v Speaker 2>I just listen to one of your latest podcasts. It

735
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:08.719
<v Speaker 2>was he's a musician Jeese. Anyway, he did a thing

736
00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:11.239
<v Speaker 2>right there in Quabbin and it was the white Bigfoot

737
00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:13.159
<v Speaker 2>in quab And now you guys did a show on

738
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:17.599
<v Speaker 2>it was great, and we had heard investigating through the

739
00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:21.360
<v Speaker 2>BFRO and squat Chusetts and other people talking that they

740
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:24.119
<v Speaker 2>had seen. There's multiple reports. Let's put it down, we

741
00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:26.559
<v Speaker 2>have a white bigfoot in that area. And then in

742
00:40:26.679 --> 00:40:30.039
<v Speaker 2>twenty three, in twenty twenty three, my wife and I

743
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:33.639
<v Speaker 2>we live right here on the Cobbo Mountain Reservoir and

744
00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:37.119
<v Speaker 2>we have a thirteen hunderdacre camp that hadbuts this property

745
00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:40.599
<v Speaker 2>and we were out. We call it a squatch ride.

746
00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:43.039
<v Speaker 2>We got driving and long story show, we go look

747
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:45.280
<v Speaker 2>up for bigfoot. So it's a squat ride. So we

748
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:47.440
<v Speaker 2>got our duncans and weren't off with our coffee and

749
00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:50.639
<v Speaker 2>driving along, and we come down Wildcat Road into the

750
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:54.199
<v Speaker 2>quab And Reservoir and we look across the reservoir and

751
00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:57.239
<v Speaker 2>my wife happens to see this big white thing come

752
00:40:57.320 --> 00:40:59.960
<v Speaker 2>walking out of the woods, right down to the leg

753
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:02.800
<v Speaker 2>and at that point she gets my attention and I'm

754
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:04.960
<v Speaker 2>looking over at it, because she thought it might have

755
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:08.480
<v Speaker 2>been a sign that blew around or something. And she said,

756
00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:10.840
<v Speaker 2>look at that, look at that. And so we stopped,

757
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:13.440
<v Speaker 2>and now we're looking across the lake. But it might

758
00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:15.199
<v Speaker 2>have been a half mile three coards of a mile,

759
00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:18.679
<v Speaker 2>which I live right above a lake, and I'm looking

760
00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:22.159
<v Speaker 2>across the lake through my pitcher window right now, and

761
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:24.719
<v Speaker 2>I can see the shoreline a half mile away, So

762
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:27.960
<v Speaker 2>this thing wasn't that far away. But we let's put

763
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:30.360
<v Speaker 2>it this way. When this thing walked down, it walked down.

764
00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:32.519
<v Speaker 2>It looked like it bent down and got a drink

765
00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:35.400
<v Speaker 2>of water for a few minutes. It stood back up

766
00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:38.920
<v Speaker 2>and walked back into the woods and then disappeared into

767
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:43.400
<v Speaker 2>the woods. What we never got was a profile shot.

768
00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:46.639
<v Speaker 2>What I mean by that is when a deer or

769
00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:48.840
<v Speaker 2>a moose or a beer because that's what people saying, Oh,

770
00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:51.639
<v Speaker 2>you saw a barrier moose. Okay, great, that's what we saw.

771
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:56.000
<v Speaker 2>But this moose came down sixty feet of shoreline to

772
00:41:56.159 --> 00:42:01.239
<v Speaker 2>the water. It drank and then walked backwards without ever

773
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:04.639
<v Speaker 2>turning around. If that moves or bear or something walk

774
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:06.599
<v Speaker 2>down to the water, it would turn around to walk

775
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:09.679
<v Speaker 2>back to the woods. It never did that. And the

776
00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:13.280
<v Speaker 2>profile we were looking at was this tall, cylindrical white

777
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:16.039
<v Speaker 2>object that looked like it just went up and down

778
00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:19.599
<v Speaker 2>to the water, got a drink potentially, and literally just

779
00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:22.039
<v Speaker 2>walked back to the woods. We didn't ever get that

780
00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:24.800
<v Speaker 2>side profile shot where you would normally get of an

781
00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:28.719
<v Speaker 2>animal on four legs, that big side body shot. We

782
00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:31.840
<v Speaker 2>never got that. So that leads me to believe we

783
00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:35.760
<v Speaker 2>saw white bigfoot right there in Cobble Mountain. So, you know,

784
00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:39.400
<v Speaker 2>hence the name Cobble Mountain Critter Project. We've had numerous

785
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:41.719
<v Speaker 2>accounts right here in my backyard. Partner.

786
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:47.360
<v Speaker 1>That's incredible, And I know that area has come up

787
00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:51.800
<v Speaker 1>on the show before. With Ernie, I was able to

788
00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:58.039
<v Speaker 1>talk and oh, yeah, yeah, it's a wild area, dude.

789
00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:01.360
<v Speaker 1>And you so you started a festival in that area too?

790
00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:05.599
<v Speaker 2>Correct? Correct? Yes? And I had Ernie as one of

791
00:43:05.639 --> 00:43:09.599
<v Speaker 2>the speakers we had Dave mccallough Team two experience. I

792
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:14.639
<v Speaker 2>had a bunch of people here speaking and Ernie Davreeaux

793
00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:17.480
<v Speaker 2>told his story on Drake Mountain and what an incredible

794
00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:20.679
<v Speaker 2>encounter he had, and so you know, he's of the

795
00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:22.920
<v Speaker 2>mind and he's got a lot of us thinking more

796
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:29.199
<v Speaker 2>on communication levels. Now. I've been hearing numerous, not numerous reports,

797
00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:32.880
<v Speaker 2>I've heard a number of reports where people have discussed

798
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:36.039
<v Speaker 2>hearing chatter lately, and that's kind of a new thing

799
00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:41.039
<v Speaker 2>around here lately, and at least in the Western Mass area. Chatter.

800
00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:43.599
<v Speaker 2>We don't hear that often, and you don't get here,

801
00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:48.039
<v Speaker 2>you don't hear reports of it, but you know, it's starting,

802
00:43:48.199 --> 00:43:51.119
<v Speaker 2>like like we've been around long enough to where people

803
00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:54.239
<v Speaker 2>drive around they're seeing in the local gas station or

804
00:43:54.360 --> 00:43:56.440
<v Speaker 2>the story it's the big Foot guys. You know, that's

805
00:43:56.599 --> 00:43:59.159
<v Speaker 2>kind of the report we've got in town now. And

806
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:02.400
<v Speaker 2>we literally have these little wooden mail boxes we made

807
00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and put up in like the Beckett Country Store, and

808
00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:08.400
<v Speaker 2>it becomes the you know, the the mailing station or

809
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:12.280
<v Speaker 2>the reporting station for Western Mass and through these little

810
00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:14.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, we we go up there and have coffee

811
00:44:14.679 --> 00:44:17.400
<v Speaker 2>and you know, coffee and cryptids at the at the

812
00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:20.119
<v Speaker 2>grinder Shop, there might be two people that walk in.

813
00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:22.360
<v Speaker 2>There might be be walking in. We don't care. But

814
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:25.440
<v Speaker 2>we're there to talk about Bigfoot locally. And and so

815
00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:27.840
<v Speaker 2>we're starting to open some doors. People are starting to

816
00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:30.719
<v Speaker 2>reach out. And like I said, we literally have a

817
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:34.159
<v Speaker 2>dozen reports now that we probably wouldn't have gotten from

818
00:44:34.199 --> 00:44:38.000
<v Speaker 2>people otherwise. You know, between the library shows that we do,

819
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:40.519
<v Speaker 2>the talks that we give, you know, whether it's a

820
00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:43.840
<v Speaker 2>conference or a festival or next week I we have

821
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:47.920
<v Speaker 2>them down, they'll talk to you. Yeah, the more they

822
00:44:48.039 --> 00:44:49.920
<v Speaker 2>know you, the more they can hear you, they trust you,

823
00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:52.360
<v Speaker 2>they'll open up and you start to hear this stuff

824
00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:56.199
<v Speaker 2>with the Cowbon Mount recruiter. That that's kind of when

825
00:44:56.239 --> 00:44:59.920
<v Speaker 2>we started this. We we do these stories and when

826
00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:02.840
<v Speaker 2>we do the library portions and we make money on this,

827
00:45:03.320 --> 00:45:05.199
<v Speaker 2>we only get a couple hundred bucks. So if you're

828
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:07.719
<v Speaker 2>a library listening and you want us to come out,

829
00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:10.440
<v Speaker 2>we'll only a couple of hundred bucks to us. You know,

830
00:45:10.599 --> 00:45:12.400
<v Speaker 2>you get us for two hours. We come with our

831
00:45:12.519 --> 00:45:15.239
<v Speaker 2>own casts. We have a half a dozen casts that

832
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:19.000
<v Speaker 2>we cast that a dozen people saw. These are these

833
00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:22.519
<v Speaker 2>are authors cast These are mold. Yeah. So anyways, we

834
00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:25.519
<v Speaker 2>turned our business into more of a fundraising effort. So

835
00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:27.719
<v Speaker 2>when we go off and we do these talks, that

836
00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:31.159
<v Speaker 2>money goes right into where we're sending kids to camp.

837
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:34.840
<v Speaker 2>We were involved with the town. The town police is

838
00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:38.079
<v Speaker 2>making a badge for us. That's gonna be the Russell

839
00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:41.239
<v Speaker 2>Town Montgomery Russell Police and we're going to use them

840
00:45:41.280 --> 00:45:44.559
<v Speaker 2>as fundraiser patches. So we're involved with the town doing

841
00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:47.599
<v Speaker 2>this and that that's going to be We're set nights,

842
00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:51.199
<v Speaker 2>we're giving away pine trees like an Arbor Day thing.

843
00:45:51.280 --> 00:45:53.679
<v Speaker 2>We're giving away pine trees and we're up to six

844
00:45:53.800 --> 00:45:57.039
<v Speaker 2>hundred to one thousand, so you know, that's a bit

845
00:45:57.119 --> 00:45:59.880
<v Speaker 2>of money, and so these patches will help pay for that.

846
00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:03.000
<v Speaker 2>At these library talks help pay for that kind of stuff.

847
00:46:03.119 --> 00:46:06.280
<v Speaker 2>That's what we're doing with our Cobble Mountain Critter Project,

848
00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:09.760
<v Speaker 2>so we investigate bigfoot stuff as the Voger Brothers. We

849
00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:13.000
<v Speaker 2>do businesses the Cobble Mountain Cruiter Project and the kids benefit.

850
00:46:13.599 --> 00:46:15.719
<v Speaker 1>That's fantastic. Mike Guness, do you think a lot of

851
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:19.760
<v Speaker 1>people are having sightings and interactions in this Cobble Mountain

852
00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:21.280
<v Speaker 1>area and they're just not talking about it.

853
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh, absolutely, its out about it. We actually did. There's

854
00:46:26.320 --> 00:46:30.519
<v Speaker 2>a local brewery called Skyline Brewery and they've been making

855
00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:34.280
<v Speaker 2>a Cobble Mountain Crutter beer for years now. And so

856
00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:37.000
<v Speaker 2>when we had started the business, we didn't really think

857
00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:40.440
<v Speaker 2>of working. There was no there was no thought behind that.

858
00:46:41.039 --> 00:46:42.880
<v Speaker 2>So here we are, we start a business and all

859
00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:45.400
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden we realize he's got a beer and

860
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:48.000
<v Speaker 2>we start talking to each other. So we actually go

861
00:46:48.119 --> 00:46:52.079
<v Speaker 2>there when they open their ipa and they had that

862
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:54.960
<v Speaker 2>brow for that month. They had us come in and

863
00:46:55.039 --> 00:46:57.880
<v Speaker 2>do a talk. It was in March, and so we

864
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:00.320
<v Speaker 2>talked about the Cobble Mountain Critter and they broke out

865
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the new Cobble Mountain Critter beer. And it was a

866
00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:03.840
<v Speaker 2>big to do and it was a lot of fun

867
00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:06.000
<v Speaker 2>and there was a lot of stories on that. A

868
00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:07.760
<v Speaker 2>lot of people came out and said, hey, you know,

869
00:47:08.239 --> 00:47:10.480
<v Speaker 2>blah blah blah and this and that, and there was

870
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:13.880
<v Speaker 2>different names. State Trooper had some howls at two o'clock

871
00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:16.760
<v Speaker 2>in the morning, Eric, my brother, did a report on

872
00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:21.360
<v Speaker 2>fishermen up there getting howls and screams. You know, the

873
00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:25.440
<v Speaker 2>legends go way back up there, right here in my backyard.

874
00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Cobble mountain man. That is.

875
00:47:28.760 --> 00:47:31.480
<v Speaker 1>That is absolutely fantastic. It's great to hear someone call

876
00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:34.719
<v Speaker 1>call it grinders because I say that out here in

877
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the Midwest and everyone thinks I'm crazy because they don't

878
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:44.400
<v Speaker 1>get it, you know what I'm talking about. But yeah,

879
00:47:44.599 --> 00:47:46.760
<v Speaker 1>So you guys have been involved with a lot of

880
00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:50.360
<v Speaker 1>investigations over the years. Are there any that really stick

881
00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:51.280
<v Speaker 1>out that like?

882
00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:52.360
<v Speaker 2>That? Was?

883
00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:54.920
<v Speaker 1>That was a crazy thing that we were involved with

884
00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:59.639
<v Speaker 1>looking into for the BFO or Squatchachusetts that you could share.

885
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:04.239
<v Speaker 2>We think, Yeah, it was actually on our own and

886
00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:07.679
<v Speaker 2>it was we were doing a school group. We had

887
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:11.639
<v Speaker 2>a business called Taco Mountain Outdoors. It was an adventure

888
00:48:11.800 --> 00:48:14.519
<v Speaker 2>education business. I'll say that we've been doing this a

889
00:48:14.639 --> 00:48:17.320
<v Speaker 2>long time and we're in the woods all the time. Yeah,

890
00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:20.320
<v Speaker 2>this is why this goes back to nineteen ninety when

891
00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:23.199
<v Speaker 2>we started the business, So nineteen ninety eight eight when

892
00:48:23.239 --> 00:48:25.840
<v Speaker 2>it was legit, I guess. So we've been doing this

893
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:28.559
<v Speaker 2>stuff for a long time and we were in northwest

894
00:48:28.599 --> 00:48:32.239
<v Speaker 2>Connecticut providing a ropes course, a high ropes course for

895
00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:36.199
<v Speaker 2>a school group. Ye, there's a Catholic school group and

896
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:40.880
<v Speaker 2>there's thirty kids two teachers and Eric and myself and

897
00:48:41.119 --> 00:48:43.159
<v Speaker 2>we've got them for the whole weekend. So it's a

898
00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:45.840
<v Speaker 2>team building event up on the mountain which is pretty

899
00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:48.840
<v Speaker 2>remote and there is zero people around the area. There's

900
00:48:48.920 --> 00:48:52.679
<v Speaker 2>zero people. There are zero people in the area. Put

901
00:48:52.679 --> 00:48:57.159
<v Speaker 2>it that basically there Southern out and all by itself. Yeah, Southern.

902
00:48:57.719 --> 00:49:01.719
<v Speaker 2>It's in the Appalation Trail west of it, and it's

903
00:49:01.800 --> 00:49:04.800
<v Speaker 2>in between the Taconics and the Eighties, so there's there's

904
00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:07.920
<v Speaker 2>no easy way to get into it outside of a trail.

905
00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:10.239
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, it's a hard place to get to. That's

906
00:49:10.280 --> 00:49:15.960
<v Speaker 2>my point. So we're doing a ropes course and we've

907
00:49:16.039 --> 00:49:19.280
<v Speaker 2>been doing ropes courses here for fifteen years and we've

908
00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:21.760
<v Speaker 2>never had this issue. And we've been on that mountain

909
00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:25.360
<v Speaker 2>numerous times, numerous times up and down it, do anything.

910
00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:28.400
<v Speaker 2>On the top of it is a chimney. There used

911
00:49:28.400 --> 00:49:31.159
<v Speaker 2>to be a house and it burnt down, so it's

912
00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:35.639
<v Speaker 2>a chimney. And these wolves take kids up there classes

913
00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:37.599
<v Speaker 2>and whatnot, and they go up there and they and

914
00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:40.639
<v Speaker 2>they sit there and they reflect and whatever. So the

915
00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:43.239
<v Speaker 2>chimney is being used all the time and there's nothing

916
00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:47.519
<v Speaker 2>up there. It's just mountain chimney and trees. So at

917
00:49:47.559 --> 00:49:50.119
<v Speaker 2>this time me and Eric are making dinner. We're down

918
00:49:50.360 --> 00:49:53.320
<v Speaker 2>at our campsite. We're cooking dinner, and the teachers and

919
00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:56.320
<v Speaker 2>the kids are up at this chimney and it's you know,

920
00:49:56.400 --> 00:49:58.199
<v Speaker 2>it's a bit of a hike and it's pretty steep

921
00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:00.239
<v Speaker 2>to get to it. And then you know there's he's

922
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:02.199
<v Speaker 2>and forties. That was a big thing, cabins on the

923
00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:05.519
<v Speaker 2>mountains until they all burnt down. They were called summit houses. Yeah,

924
00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:09.280
<v Speaker 2>they all they had an old old rope toe rope,

925
00:50:09.840 --> 00:50:13.199
<v Speaker 2>ski switch, yeah, ski ski slope there. So anyways, that's

926
00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:16.480
<v Speaker 2>all gone, so nothing nut there is. Anyway, these guys

927
00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:20.440
<v Speaker 2>come down from their Bible study. Eric and I are

928
00:50:20.519 --> 00:50:23.639
<v Speaker 2>done cooking and we're fixing that and handed out and

929
00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:27.079
<v Speaker 2>we're you know, doing burgers and whatnot, and everybody's at

930
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:29.360
<v Speaker 2>this point just about ready to sit down and eat.

931
00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:33.639
<v Speaker 2>And at that point I was pouring coffee, yeah, and

932
00:50:33.840 --> 00:50:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Tim was standing on my right and the pastor was

933
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:40.639
<v Speaker 2>on my left, and out of nowhere you heard this

934
00:50:41.960 --> 00:50:46.400
<v Speaker 2>sirene sound like somebody flipped the switch and turned it on.

935
00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:51.559
<v Speaker 2>It just went whew, But it went on for fifteen

936
00:50:51.639 --> 00:50:54.079
<v Speaker 2>twenty seconds. It sounded like the highest tone of a

937
00:50:54.159 --> 00:50:56.800
<v Speaker 2>plat on top of the mountain. And now the pastor

938
00:50:56.920 --> 00:50:59.320
<v Speaker 2>stand there. His eyes are like half dollars, and he

939
00:50:59.440 --> 00:51:01.400
<v Speaker 2>just looks at me and I said, yep, and they

940
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:03.960
<v Speaker 2>just left them out, I said, Tim, and he goes, yep,

941
00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:11.239
<v Speaker 2>big footing foot. So the preachers all freaked us very yeah.

942
00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:13.599
<v Speaker 2>He looked over at the at the pastor and says,

943
00:51:13.800 --> 00:51:17.519
<v Speaker 2>and he came over on the ark. Oh shows you

944
00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:18.599
<v Speaker 2>the look out of those things.

945
00:51:18.800 --> 00:51:20.440
<v Speaker 1>You guys said that that's hilarious.

946
00:51:21.280 --> 00:51:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, said but he's been talking to Bigfoot all weekend.

947
00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:27.079
<v Speaker 2>And of course it's bizarre. They thought we were crazy

948
00:51:27.159 --> 00:51:30.039
<v Speaker 2>until this happened. Then all of a sudden, something bizarre happened.

949
00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:32.760
<v Speaker 2>And and literally it came from an area where they

950
00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:36.199
<v Speaker 2>believe they were just we're just no explaining it. Literally,

951
00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:39.320
<v Speaker 2>it sounded like a police car at its very highest tone.

952
00:51:39.360 --> 00:51:41.679
<v Speaker 2>And of course when we went gultining it up, we

953
00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:45.159
<v Speaker 2>we we had other people say that they've heard that

954
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:49.039
<v Speaker 2>saying sound. Other reports we've had this high pitched siren sound,

955
00:51:49.320 --> 00:51:51.400
<v Speaker 2>and you know that would have been related to today.

956
00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:54.000
<v Speaker 2>It was a whistle, now, you know, we say it

957
00:51:54.079 --> 00:51:55.880
<v Speaker 2>was a siren sound, but that would have been that

958
00:51:55.880 --> 00:52:00.679
<v Speaker 2>would a very high pitched whistle. So so now we're

959
00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:03.119
<v Speaker 2>we're finishing dinner. We had our fun. Ha ha ha.

960
00:52:03.440 --> 00:52:05.280
<v Speaker 2>That was big foot and they all got the point

961
00:52:05.320 --> 00:52:08.360
<v Speaker 2>and laugh and so Eric and I walk off in humiliation,

962
00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:11.360
<v Speaker 2>and you know, so we had fun with it. We

963
00:52:11.480 --> 00:52:14.559
<v Speaker 2>go back, we're finishing the night and it's it's kind

964
00:52:14.599 --> 00:52:16.599
<v Speaker 2>of getting dark, and the owls are kicking up and

965
00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:20.079
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, they're you know, that kind of thing

966
00:52:20.199 --> 00:52:23.159
<v Speaker 2>going on, and if you know owls or territorial and

967
00:52:23.280 --> 00:52:26.599
<v Speaker 2>then and there's probably half a dozen maybe more owls,

968
00:52:26.639 --> 00:52:29.360
<v Speaker 2>and it sounds like they're fighting. And we've been we've

969
00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:32.840
<v Speaker 2>been down here for years and really never happens. Number

970
00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:35.719
<v Speaker 2>you hear the coyotes once in a while across the swamp.

971
00:52:35.800 --> 00:52:37.679
<v Speaker 2>We heard something similar in New York where they were

972
00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:40.760
<v Speaker 2>territorial and fighting, but not like this. This was crazy

973
00:52:40.880 --> 00:52:43.519
<v Speaker 2>and the owls going after each other like that. And

974
00:52:43.639 --> 00:52:48.159
<v Speaker 2>then we heard coyotes, coyoats, and all night long they

975
00:52:48.199 --> 00:52:50.639
<v Speaker 2>were going off like they had just gotten a fresh

976
00:52:50.760 --> 00:52:55.360
<v Speaker 2>killed and as on a fresh kill, that's what it

977
00:52:55.480 --> 00:52:58.920
<v Speaker 2>sounded like. It was absolutely nuts. And we've only heard

978
00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:01.440
<v Speaker 2>it a few times twenty and chyoks, but it was

979
00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:04.039
<v Speaker 2>on our side of the swamp this time, not on

980
00:53:04.199 --> 00:53:08.039
<v Speaker 2>the other side where usually it's on the other side. Now,

981
00:53:08.599 --> 00:53:11.880
<v Speaker 2>farms wad and we're set up tens inut of ten.

982
00:53:11.920 --> 00:53:14.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm in a hammock and I'm laying there. I get

983
00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:16.480
<v Speaker 2>in there and I'm laying there, and I said, man,

984
00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:19.800
<v Speaker 2>I said, all of a sudden, you could hear them.

985
00:53:20.679 --> 00:53:22.800
<v Speaker 2>You could hear them down the mountain mountain. They were

986
00:53:22.840 --> 00:53:24.760
<v Speaker 2>on our side. They were coming down the mountain. You

987
00:53:24.920 --> 00:53:27.400
<v Speaker 2>literally could hear them hitting the ground. Pious are running

988
00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:29.880
<v Speaker 2>down there. And I yelled over to Tim and I says, man,

989
00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:32.880
<v Speaker 2>I hope I'm high enough, you know. And I have

990
00:53:33.000 --> 00:53:36.639
<v Speaker 2>an under quilt that goes under my hamming tackle, and yeah,

991
00:53:36.679 --> 00:53:40.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm like a taco. So you can hear them. They're

992
00:53:40.760 --> 00:53:44.320
<v Speaker 2>thundering down down the mountain and they're coming right at me.

993
00:53:44.440 --> 00:53:46.360
<v Speaker 2>And I just yelled them. I said, here they come.

994
00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:50.440
<v Speaker 2>And I felt my undercuilt move as it went underneath

995
00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:53.559
<v Speaker 2>my hammock and they went right by him and I

996
00:53:53.880 --> 00:53:58.159
<v Speaker 2>down the mountain, off off into the woods somewhere doing

997
00:53:58.199 --> 00:54:03.559
<v Speaker 2>the crazy. Yeah, it was nuts. I never had that

998
00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:05.639
<v Speaker 2>ever in my life. I was like, you got to

999
00:54:05.679 --> 00:54:10.119
<v Speaker 2>be kidding. It literally his hands. So that in itself,

1000
00:54:10.239 --> 00:54:13.960
<v Speaker 2>it was a very excited night. The atmosphere was excited.

1001
00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:18.440
<v Speaker 2>The hyouts, the owls, that bigfoot screen. That was probably

1002
00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:22.519
<v Speaker 2>they never ever had any freaking on our side. Everything

1003
00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:25.639
<v Speaker 2>the weird. Most of the noises and stuff came from

1004
00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:28.519
<v Speaker 2>the farm side, which is to be expected because there's

1005
00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:31.639
<v Speaker 2>there's food over there for for every critter out there.

1006
00:54:32.599 --> 00:54:35.519
<v Speaker 2>Never on our side. But everything was happening on our

1007
00:54:35.639 --> 00:54:38.360
<v Speaker 2>side that that night. Yeah, it was the coyotes. So

1008
00:54:38.480 --> 00:54:42.599
<v Speaker 2>we got up that morning, we finished off the rope's course,

1009
00:54:42.719 --> 00:54:44.880
<v Speaker 2>we went back, we started packing up at the group

1010
00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:47.280
<v Speaker 2>leaves and we're and we're standing there, we're talking to

1011
00:54:47.360 --> 00:54:50.320
<v Speaker 2>each other, and all of a sudden, there's a tree. Yeah,

1012
00:54:50.599 --> 00:54:52.519
<v Speaker 2>there's a tree layer down. There has to be one.

1013
00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:55.159
<v Speaker 2>This is a full size oak tree that has a

1014
00:54:55.280 --> 00:54:57.679
<v Speaker 2>full green candy. Yeah, it just fell over. It had

1015
00:54:57.880 --> 00:55:00.880
<v Speaker 2>we had mixed even ninety feet across in the canopy.

1016
00:55:01.239 --> 00:55:03.199
<v Speaker 2>At least it's got all the leaves and it's like

1017
00:55:03.239 --> 00:55:06.039
<v Speaker 2>a blowdown in a thunder. It just fell over, and

1018
00:55:06.280 --> 00:55:08.880
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden you hear something coming through all

1019
00:55:08.920 --> 00:55:12.719
<v Speaker 2>of these leaves and these treemends and sticks, and it

1020
00:55:12.880 --> 00:55:15.679
<v Speaker 2>hits the ground and it's a rock the size of

1021
00:55:15.719 --> 00:55:20.440
<v Speaker 2>a candell pinball. And I went fifteen feet feet away

1022
00:55:20.440 --> 00:55:23.079
<v Speaker 2>and part from us. I was like, what is that?

1023
00:55:23.960 --> 00:55:25.800
<v Speaker 2>And I just looked at it and the jet it's

1024
00:55:25.840 --> 00:55:28.639
<v Speaker 2>time to go. Yeah. And prior to that, we read

1025
00:55:28.960 --> 00:55:31.559
<v Speaker 2>we heard noises behind the tree, and we thought it

1026
00:55:31.719 --> 00:55:33.760
<v Speaker 2>was just a deer kind of didn't even really give

1027
00:55:33.800 --> 00:55:36.239
<v Speaker 2>it a second thought. But after you could hear that

1028
00:55:36.480 --> 00:55:38.840
<v Speaker 2>rock come flying through and hitting all those branches all

1029
00:55:38.880 --> 00:55:42.760
<v Speaker 2>the way through it and then it landed and all

1030
00:55:42.760 --> 00:55:46.320
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, that's probably one of the craziest ones.

1031
00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:49.119
<v Speaker 1>Do you think it's because the other group left and

1032
00:55:49.239 --> 00:55:50.800
<v Speaker 1>you guys are still hanging out.

1033
00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I think I think there's a symbiotic relationship with the

1034
00:55:57.039 --> 00:56:02.079
<v Speaker 2>coyotes and maybe the owls. Bigfoot has been mimicking owls,

1035
00:56:02.239 --> 00:56:04.719
<v Speaker 2>and I have reports and No Purple that have Class

1036
00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:10.320
<v Speaker 2>A sightings watching a bigfoot do it and making the sightings.

1037
00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:12.639
<v Speaker 2>And he thought it was an owl. So we know

1038
00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:16.639
<v Speaker 2>the bigfoots make owl calls, so probably it's a camouflage

1039
00:56:16.719 --> 00:56:21.880
<v Speaker 2>tactic and the coyotes. They might just work together. Coyotes

1040
00:56:21.960 --> 00:56:24.480
<v Speaker 2>might go get something. Big Boy walks and the owners

1041
00:56:24.519 --> 00:56:28.400
<v Speaker 2>in Artland big footage the way doesn't say it happens

1042
00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:30.960
<v Speaker 2>on all their kills, but potentially on some of them.

1043
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:34.039
<v Speaker 2>And that's why all three were together and all three

1044
00:56:34.119 --> 00:56:37.320
<v Speaker 2>were excited. We had a bigfoot, well we believe a whistle.

1045
00:56:38.039 --> 00:56:43.039
<v Speaker 2>Hours before all this, the owls started up. Very uncanny,

1046
00:56:43.079 --> 00:56:46.679
<v Speaker 2>It was very It was very different the way they behaved.

1047
00:56:47.119 --> 00:56:50.960
<v Speaker 2>And the coyotes were from the top of the mountain

1048
00:56:50.960 --> 00:56:52.760
<v Speaker 2>all the way down like they had to kill. And

1049
00:56:52.920 --> 00:56:55.639
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of weird because generally around the kill they're

1050
00:56:55.639 --> 00:56:58.039
<v Speaker 2>all in one area and they're making all that noise

1051
00:56:58.039 --> 00:57:01.039
<v Speaker 2>because they're excited. This is their excited and they're running

1052
00:57:01.079 --> 00:57:03.440
<v Speaker 2>like hell down the mountain and they're still yet. And

1053
00:57:03.920 --> 00:57:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you've learned behaviors and stuff like that.

1054
00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:09.880
<v Speaker 2>It was an odd behavior and that's what we notice now.

1055
00:57:10.000 --> 00:57:13.280
<v Speaker 2>So it was an odd behavior. All three behaviors were

1056
00:57:13.280 --> 00:57:17.079
<v Speaker 2>at the same time. Is it linked together? Possibly? Maybe

1057
00:57:17.119 --> 00:57:20.679
<v Speaker 2>the coyotes had something and the bigfoot wanted it and

1058
00:57:20.760 --> 00:57:21.559
<v Speaker 2>we interrupted it.

1059
00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:25.679
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that makes sense. Did you guys say, did you

1060
00:57:25.800 --> 00:57:28.320
<v Speaker 1>just say that you got to report where someone had

1061
00:57:29.360 --> 00:57:33.519
<v Speaker 1>seen a bigfoot mimicking an owl sound yep.

1062
00:57:33.599 --> 00:57:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Right here in our camp. Wow. Yeah, I'm not going

1063
00:57:36.880 --> 00:57:39.880
<v Speaker 2>to give his name, but he's a local here. He

1064
00:57:40.039 --> 00:57:42.920
<v Speaker 2>called the police. Actually his first thing, he called the

1065
00:57:43.000 --> 00:57:47.000
<v Speaker 2>police and made a report to the chief. Now I

1066
00:57:47.079 --> 00:57:49.079
<v Speaker 2>don't really know the chief at this time. I've been

1067
00:57:49.119 --> 00:57:51.760
<v Speaker 2>here five years, so this is all, you know, kind

1068
00:57:51.800 --> 00:57:53.639
<v Speaker 2>of new to me. I don't really know the chief.

1069
00:57:54.039 --> 00:57:56.559
<v Speaker 2>So the chief comes up to me and says, Hi,

1070
00:57:56.679 --> 00:57:59.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm the chief. Blah blah blah. I introduced myself, blah

1071
00:57:59.599 --> 00:58:03.400
<v Speaker 2>blah bla. He says, I've got a punter that's got

1072
00:58:03.440 --> 00:58:06.880
<v Speaker 2>a concern. He made a report, and I had already

1073
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:09.559
<v Speaker 2>seen this report on I think it was the BFROO

1074
00:58:09.760 --> 00:58:14.199
<v Speaker 2>site or something, and called the guy, talked to the guy,

1075
00:58:14.280 --> 00:58:16.920
<v Speaker 2>and so when the chief came, I already knew what

1076
00:58:17.039 --> 00:58:18.960
<v Speaker 2>he was looking at. When he said I've got this

1077
00:58:19.159 --> 00:58:21.920
<v Speaker 2>odd report I have to talk to you about. I said, oh,

1078
00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:24.800
<v Speaker 2>is it about bigfoot? And he says, oh, you know.

1079
00:58:26.400 --> 00:58:29.119
<v Speaker 2>I said, well, I don't know. Let's let's share stories

1080
00:58:29.159 --> 00:58:31.559
<v Speaker 2>and see if we're talking about the same thing. So

1081
00:58:31.719 --> 00:58:34.440
<v Speaker 2>the chief gave me his story, which turned out to

1082
00:58:34.519 --> 00:58:37.159
<v Speaker 2>be the same story. I heard from you know, the

1083
00:58:37.239 --> 00:58:40.880
<v Speaker 2>guy himself and he and his son were out in

1084
00:58:40.920 --> 00:58:43.280
<v Speaker 2>the back of the property here, just a little ways

1085
00:58:43.280 --> 00:58:46.679
<v Speaker 2>away from my house, and he was down on the swamp.

1086
00:58:47.000 --> 00:58:49.360
<v Speaker 2>His kid was up on the hill and he was

1087
00:58:49.440 --> 00:58:52.239
<v Speaker 2>hearing what I'm going to call the very the very

1088
00:58:52.360 --> 00:58:56.280
<v Speaker 2>white tone owl. It was a very low tongue owl.

1089
00:58:56.440 --> 00:58:59.320
<v Speaker 2>It was too low to be the normal sound owl.

1090
00:58:59.360 --> 00:59:01.880
<v Speaker 2>If you've heard like I just did on you know,

1091
00:59:03.559 --> 00:59:06.039
<v Speaker 2>that's an owl sound. It's not a you know. Now

1092
00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:08.119
<v Speaker 2>I add that a super low tone to it and

1093
00:59:08.239 --> 00:59:10.800
<v Speaker 2>put Barry White's voice on it. That's what it comes

1094
00:59:10.840 --> 00:59:13.800
<v Speaker 2>out to me. So that's what this guy's describing to me.

1095
00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:18.039
<v Speaker 2>It's a very white sounding owl. That's what he's trying

1096
00:59:18.079 --> 00:59:21.440
<v Speaker 2>to wrap my head around. This said. Okay, So anyways,

1097
00:59:21.480 --> 00:59:24.239
<v Speaker 2>he calls his kid at the top of the mountain

1098
00:59:24.519 --> 00:59:27.280
<v Speaker 2>and he says, hey, are you doing that sound? Kid says, no,

1099
00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:29.320
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was you. He says, all right, let's

1100
00:59:29.320 --> 00:59:31.119
<v Speaker 2>get the heck out of here. So they come down.

1101
00:59:31.159 --> 00:59:33.280
<v Speaker 2>They made it the stream. They walk up to the

1102
00:59:33.400 --> 00:59:36.000
<v Speaker 2>quad and they're going to drive out, and on their

1103
00:59:36.039 --> 00:59:38.960
<v Speaker 2>way out walking to the quad, Dad turns around and

1104
00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:44.159
<v Speaker 2>sees his bigfoot he thinks it's a bigfoot crossing just

1105
00:59:44.559 --> 00:59:48.199
<v Speaker 2>kind of walking across the path way down and he

1106
00:59:48.320 --> 00:59:51.440
<v Speaker 2>sees this movement and this large object walking across the path,

1107
00:59:52.039 --> 00:59:54.440
<v Speaker 2>So he makes his report. The chief comes up, does

1108
00:59:54.519 --> 00:59:57.920
<v Speaker 2>his report. I go back out there a couple days

1109
00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:01.360
<v Speaker 2>later with this guy with no real hopes of finding

1110
01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:04.599
<v Speaker 2>any evidence, and lo and behold. First off, this guy

1111
01:00:04.679 --> 01:00:06.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to go back. I had to go back

1112
01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:09.199
<v Speaker 2>in the woods there myself. He would not go back

1113
01:00:09.239 --> 01:00:12.239
<v Speaker 2>with me. I went back to the spot, and I

1114
01:00:12.440 --> 01:00:16.199
<v Speaker 2>came back with a picture of a dollar bill in

1115
01:00:16.280 --> 01:00:20.960
<v Speaker 2>a track, in a bigfoot track. This track was located

1116
01:00:21.159 --> 01:00:25.360
<v Speaker 2>in the top of moss, this stuff called sphagnum mosque.

1117
01:00:25.639 --> 01:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>It's really spongy and really thick, and this bigfoot had

1118
01:00:29.119 --> 01:00:32.880
<v Speaker 2>enough weight to compress it enough to keep a shape

1119
01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:35.440
<v Speaker 2>in it to look like a foot where I put

1120
01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:38.079
<v Speaker 2>a full dollar in it, and it was probably I

1121
01:00:38.199 --> 01:00:41.559
<v Speaker 2>want to say, fourteen to fifteen inches long, maybe maybe

1122
01:00:42.440 --> 01:00:44.800
<v Speaker 2>a little bit bigger, but I didn't really tape it out.

1123
01:00:44.880 --> 01:00:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I put the dollar in it for reference, took the picture,

1124
01:00:47.719 --> 01:00:49.920
<v Speaker 2>and I got out of there, and I went back

1125
01:00:49.960 --> 01:00:52.440
<v Speaker 2>and I said, you know, I think I might have

1126
01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:56.519
<v Speaker 2>some verification for your story. And I showed him the

1127
01:00:56.639 --> 01:00:59.079
<v Speaker 2>track where I found and say, that's exactly where I

1128
01:00:59.159 --> 01:01:01.760
<v Speaker 2>saw it. And when he said he saw it, you

1129
01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:05.400
<v Speaker 2>could kind of where he was. You could you could

1130
01:01:05.480 --> 01:01:07.679
<v Speaker 2>see that area where if it was a bigfoot, it

1131
01:01:07.840 --> 01:01:10.480
<v Speaker 2>was down the if you're looking down a trail, it's

1132
01:01:10.559 --> 01:01:12.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of wooded on either side of the trail, and

1133
01:01:12.800 --> 01:01:15.320
<v Speaker 2>you got this long hallway of trees sort of and

1134
01:01:15.400 --> 01:01:17.360
<v Speaker 2>this bigfoot crossing at the end of the hall. That's

1135
01:01:17.400 --> 01:01:19.960
<v Speaker 2>what he said he saw, and and that's what I

1136
01:01:20.079 --> 01:01:22.039
<v Speaker 2>went down there and I saw a track, so I

1137
01:01:22.119 --> 01:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>took it. It was a it's you know, rough sub

1138
01:01:24.840 --> 01:01:27.760
<v Speaker 2>straight out here. It's leaves, it's oaks, it stirred, it's rocks,

1139
01:01:27.760 --> 01:01:29.760
<v Speaker 2>truly tough stuff. So it's hard to get a track.

1140
01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:33.000
<v Speaker 2>And this happened to this foot landed straight in the

1141
01:01:33.079 --> 01:01:37.800
<v Speaker 2>middle of a sphagnum moss patch and it was just one.

1142
01:01:38.360 --> 01:01:41.519
<v Speaker 2>We actually did find another one, but it was disturbance

1143
01:01:41.559 --> 01:01:44.119
<v Speaker 2>in the leaves and it was five six feet away,

1144
01:01:44.360 --> 01:01:46.960
<v Speaker 2>but couldn't really say that was a big point. But

1145
01:01:47.119 --> 01:01:49.440
<v Speaker 2>that's right here, you know, half mile not even a

1146
01:01:49.480 --> 01:01:50.440
<v Speaker 2>half mile from my house.

1147
01:01:50.519 --> 01:01:53.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness, bredible it's incredible. You have the rapport

1148
01:01:53.840 --> 01:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>like that with the local police chief where they're coming

1149
01:01:56.400 --> 01:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>to you too.

1150
01:01:57.960 --> 01:02:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, we're where we do the Russell Family Funday

1151
01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:05.199
<v Speaker 2>we're involved with that is the Cobble Mob Critter Project,

1152
01:02:05.800 --> 01:02:07.559
<v Speaker 2>And like I said, next year we're going to be

1153
01:02:07.639 --> 01:02:10.800
<v Speaker 2>handing out pine trees and we're using their police badge.

1154
01:02:10.800 --> 01:02:14.119
<v Speaker 2>They're putting our logo on their police badge and that'll

1155
01:02:14.159 --> 01:02:16.760
<v Speaker 2>be a fundraiser for pine trees so we can hand

1156
01:02:16.800 --> 01:02:20.280
<v Speaker 2>those out and then we do Trunk or Treat. So

1157
01:02:20.360 --> 01:02:22.800
<v Speaker 2>if there's anybody in Western mass looking to help out

1158
01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:26.800
<v Speaker 2>with Trunk or Treat, that's October twenty first you check

1159
01:02:26.840 --> 01:02:29.159
<v Speaker 2>it out on the Russell Police page. They want to

1160
01:02:29.199 --> 01:02:31.760
<v Speaker 2>get some paranormal people out there, and you know, just

1161
01:02:31.840 --> 01:02:35.199
<v Speaker 2>make it big and fun, that's all. So. Yeah, being

1162
01:02:35.280 --> 01:02:37.559
<v Speaker 2>bigfoot and being in the community is the only way

1163
01:02:37.599 --> 01:02:39.920
<v Speaker 2>to get these people to talk to you. And you know,

1164
01:02:40.079 --> 01:02:42.000
<v Speaker 2>you're not so new to them anymore, you're not so

1165
01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:45.440
<v Speaker 2>scary anymore. You're just the bigfoot guys in Cumberland farms

1166
01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:46.119
<v Speaker 2>getting a coffee.

1167
01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:50.079
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's a huge, huge lesson for people

1168
01:02:50.159 --> 01:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>to learn that are listening about. Yeah, I mean, just

1169
01:02:54.360 --> 01:02:57.639
<v Speaker 1>be nice, help out with the community and stuff will

1170
01:02:57.679 --> 01:03:02.079
<v Speaker 1>probably happen for you. Has been such a pleasure chatting

1171
01:03:02.119 --> 01:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>with you, Tim and Eric, And do you mind just

1172
01:03:04.840 --> 01:03:08.079
<v Speaker 1>taking a few minutes to remind people how they can,

1173
01:03:08.760 --> 01:03:10.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, keep up to date with what you're doing,

1174
01:03:10.760 --> 01:03:12.639
<v Speaker 1>maybe talk about the festival. I don't know if the

1175
01:03:12.679 --> 01:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>festival is going to be back for year two, how

1176
01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:17.159
<v Speaker 1>they can contact you and all that good stuff.

1177
01:03:18.679 --> 01:03:23.119
<v Speaker 2>All right, well, that's a good question. For contacting us.

1178
01:03:23.400 --> 01:03:25.639
<v Speaker 2>You can go to the Vogel Brothers Facebook page and

1179
01:03:25.760 --> 01:03:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Eric and I are there. You just leave a message,

1180
01:03:28.239 --> 01:03:30.760
<v Speaker 2>print out whatever you need to. That's the Vogel Brothers

1181
01:03:30.840 --> 01:03:33.800
<v Speaker 2>on Facebook. Then we have the Cobble Mountain Cruiter page

1182
01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:38.199
<v Speaker 2>and that hosts our outdoor education mostly on that page.

1183
01:03:38.719 --> 01:03:42.320
<v Speaker 2>And then we have the You'll see us on Instagram,

1184
01:03:42.719 --> 01:03:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, Instagram and whatever it does. We don't We're

1185
01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:48.440
<v Speaker 2>really not a social media giant. We don't really any

1186
01:03:48.440 --> 01:03:52.760
<v Speaker 2>and all that stuff having. We're more about research and

1187
01:03:52.760 --> 01:03:56.079
<v Speaker 2>get boots on the ground stuff and then we are advertising.

1188
01:03:56.360 --> 01:03:59.559
<v Speaker 2>So anyways, we'll probably change that down the road. But anyways,

1189
01:03:59.599 --> 01:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>we also do the Coblon Mountain Creater Festival at least.

1190
01:04:01.960 --> 01:04:04.760
<v Speaker 2>We did that last year. It turned out to be

1191
01:04:04.880 --> 01:04:07.639
<v Speaker 2>really great. We had a lot of rain in June.

1192
01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:11.280
<v Speaker 2>We're looking to do it again. Yeah, right, we had

1193
01:04:11.360 --> 01:04:13.880
<v Speaker 2>some rains, but we had you know, people came out,

1194
01:04:14.280 --> 01:04:17.199
<v Speaker 2>they helped support it, which was really good. Yeah, for

1195
01:04:17.400 --> 01:04:20.440
<v Speaker 2>a first time event out in western mass We had

1196
01:04:20.480 --> 01:04:22.320
<v Speaker 2>over three hundred people show up in the middle of

1197
01:04:22.360 --> 01:04:25.199
<v Speaker 2>a rain poorner later the festival, So we were very

1198
01:04:25.239 --> 01:04:29.119
<v Speaker 2>happy with those numbers. This year we might do not

1199
01:04:29.320 --> 01:04:31.119
<v Speaker 2>this year. We're going to set it up for next year.

1200
01:04:31.679 --> 01:04:34.199
<v Speaker 2>I believe we're going to look we're changing up. We're

1201
01:04:34.199 --> 01:04:38.239
<v Speaker 2>going to do a researcher rendezvous and we're inviting any local,

1202
01:04:39.159 --> 01:04:44.000
<v Speaker 2>local meeting Northeast investigators research, you know through the East

1203
01:04:44.039 --> 01:04:47.280
<v Speaker 2>coast Northeast. We want to talk with you. We're interested

1204
01:04:47.320 --> 01:04:52.280
<v Speaker 2>about sharing information. We don't have a collective database where

1205
01:04:52.280 --> 01:04:54.079
<v Speaker 2>we can go and do all this stuff at, so

1206
01:04:54.519 --> 01:04:56.679
<v Speaker 2>we're going to provide a place. We're at the camp

1207
01:04:56.760 --> 01:05:00.159
<v Speaker 2>here in Russell, Mass we have thirteen hundred acres, We've

1208
01:05:00.159 --> 01:05:02.519
<v Speaker 2>got a huge building. I've got over one hundred and

1209
01:05:02.559 --> 01:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>fifty tents. If we do it at the right time

1210
01:05:04.360 --> 01:05:06.960
<v Speaker 2>of the year, you can stay at so Anyways, we're

1211
01:05:07.000 --> 01:05:10.039
<v Speaker 2>going to do a Researcher Rendezvoy, I believe in twenty six,

1212
01:05:10.639 --> 01:05:13.000
<v Speaker 2>and then in twenty seven we're going to bring back

1213
01:05:13.079 --> 01:05:18.360
<v Speaker 2>the festival, and again the festival showcases new researchers, new

1214
01:05:18.440 --> 01:05:22.440
<v Speaker 2>talent coming in people you're not going to recognize. Most likely.

1215
01:05:22.760 --> 01:05:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Some people might their locals that they investigate locally for

1216
01:05:26.880 --> 01:05:29.599
<v Speaker 2>but it's not a lot of big names, and these

1217
01:05:29.679 --> 01:05:32.280
<v Speaker 2>people are boots on the ground and they're getting it

1218
01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:35.440
<v Speaker 2>done and they deserve recognition, and there's not a lot

1219
01:05:35.480 --> 01:05:38.960
<v Speaker 2>of platforms for these people to get recognition. So the

1220
01:05:39.119 --> 01:05:43.639
<v Speaker 2>festival started in that vein to bring light to people

1221
01:05:44.480 --> 01:05:46.960
<v Speaker 2>that didn't have big names and big money and things

1222
01:05:47.039 --> 01:05:50.079
<v Speaker 2>like that. We're just people, you know, making it day

1223
01:05:50.119 --> 01:05:53.280
<v Speaker 2>by day, having fun, spending our money, our own earnings

1224
01:05:53.320 --> 01:05:58.440
<v Speaker 2>and our own time, chasing around Bigfoot and really that's it, guys.

1225
01:05:58.519 --> 01:06:00.800
<v Speaker 1>I love it, you guys, you guys get it. It

1226
01:06:00.960 --> 01:06:03.719
<v Speaker 1>is so good talking to you guys, and that idea

1227
01:06:03.840 --> 01:06:07.559
<v Speaker 1>for the future with the festival and the Researcher Rendezvous. Man,
