This 82 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,319 is there's so many names all across the world that 83 00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:12,279 describe these incredible beings. And I know that what that 84 00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:16,439 says to me is that this is an incredibly intelligent 85 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,120 and adaptable creature that can survive pretty much anywhere on 86 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,600 the face of the earth. There doesn't seem to be 87 00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:27,079 too many ranges that they aren't encountered in With the 88 00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:30,680 United States alone, the only state that has no claims 89 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:36,360 to my knowledge of Bigfoot activity is Hawaii, which stands 90 00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:40,399 to reason. Being such an isolated island out there, I 91 00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:42,439 suppose that would be pretty hard for them to get to. 92 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,879 But they seem to be everywhere else, from Alaska to 93 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,759 the Lower forty eight and all, you know, all over 94 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,680 the place. So I thought tonight we would take some 95 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,360 time and just read different accounts from across our nation 96 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,759 here in the US, and I think that not only 97 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,279 does it show the proliferation of these beings around our nation, 98 00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:11,839 but it also shows their abilities to survive. And I 99 00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:15,879 think that that's nothing short of amazing. So let's get started, 100 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:22,079 and why not just start in Alaska. Here's Alaska this 101 00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:26,879 report comes from. It was published in the Tundra Drums 102 00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:30,360 in Bethel, Alaska, in February nineteen ninety three. It's actually 103 00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:35,519 a newspaper report, and so it says Harryman tells Hunter 104 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,600 to leave us alone. Kodiak resident Dan Jacqueline is sure 105 00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:45,800 he's had several encounters with what some Alaska natives called 106 00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:49,079 the harry Man, the creature known in the Pacific Northwest 107 00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:52,240 as Bigfoot. He's also sure the creatures have given him 108 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:58,920 a distinct message, leave us alone. Jaclin's fascination with the 109 00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:02,160 creatures goes back to a cold morning in nineteen seventy 110 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:08,279 nine in the remote at Ettellan Islands near Wrangell. He 111 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,079 and his hunting partner were hoping to harvest some of 112 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,040 the deer they knew inhabited in alpine meadow at the 113 00:08:14,079 --> 00:08:18,160 head of a fjord. Jaclin wrote the following about his 114 00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:22,160 experience the deer we were hunting. We're at an elevation 115 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,360 of about seven hundred feet. We arrived in an inlet 116 00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:29,000 just before dark in the late fall. My partner did 117 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,200 not trust the anchorage or the weather, so we opted 118 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,120 to stay in the boat while I climbed up to 119 00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:36,279 where we knew the deer to be spending the night. 120 00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:40,039 I found a bench and folded myself up into a 121 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,759 large piece of visquin in my sleeping bag on a 122 00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:47,000 small outcropping about eight feet above a well worn trail. 123 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,320 My friend was to meet me at the spot before 124 00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:54,039 dawn the next morning, and we knew we would bag 125 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,879 some deer easily in the nearby meadow just after it 126 00:08:56,919 --> 00:09:02,399 got light enough to shoot. I've seen deer here several times, 127 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,840 but had never taken advantage of the We had seen 128 00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:10,720 deer here several times, but we'd never taken advantage of 129 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,080 the fact. Just before I went to sleep, I remember 130 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,799 seeing the mast light on the boat in the inlet, 131 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,519 imagining the boom hung with our limit of deer. I 132 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,240 was awakened before dawn around one o'clock in my sleeping 133 00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:28,759 bag was jerked out from under me instantly, like a 134 00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:32,879 magician does with the tablecloth and the glass. I awoke 135 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,080 the moment it happened, and curled up into a fetal position, 136 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,080 freezing my fanny. I lay there for a few seconds, 137 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,399 trying to figure out what had happened. I figured something. 138 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,039 I figured something. It either happened to the boat or 139 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,240 my pal had just somehow spotted a trough of fat deer. 140 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,159 I sat up and pulled on my boots, looking for 141 00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:58,159 my mate to explain what was going on. I was 142 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,960 still not fully awake. For fear of securing the deer 143 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,799 or scaring the deer, I refrained from calling out to 144 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,840 my friend. It had snow at almost an inch since 145 00:10:06,879 --> 00:10:08,639 I went to sleep, and peering over the ledge, I 146 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,519 could see people tracks in the snow leading up the 147 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,639 hill towards the meadow. I grabbed my rifle and slugged 148 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,879 down the trail, peering on the ground in the dark, 149 00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:23,159 wondering how and why my somewhat elderly companion had chosen 150 00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:27,000 that unusual method of rousing me from the sack. I 151 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,120 was stepping in the footprints of the snow, and they 152 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,879 were dark and easy to see, and it was starting 153 00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:34,120 to think my partner had not been the one to 154 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,159 zip my bag out from under me. Then realization struck me, 155 00:10:38,799 --> 00:10:42,240 and I was gripped with fear. The tracks I was 156 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,519 so carefully stepping in were not human. They were the 157 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,799 imprints of bare feet, but almost twice the size of 158 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,679 my own tent sized ten boots. This is not real, 159 00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:56,840 I thought. I couldn't hear anything except the snowflakes falling 160 00:10:56,879 --> 00:10:59,279 gently to the ground, and every here on my body 161 00:10:59,399 --> 00:11:03,039 was erect sensing the air for the obvious logical solution, 162 00:11:04,159 --> 00:11:07,159 I cannot shoot anything, I told myself. This is a 163 00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:10,960 very carefully planned prank, and all I need is to 164 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,600 lose my control and end up hurting someone. I double 165 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,519 checked the safety on the rifle and determined that this 166 00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:21,440 joke was going to be on them. Cool as a cucumber, 167 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,120 I walked up another few steps up the hill where 168 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,480 I would be able to see the crest and the 169 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,799 rise I was on. There was a large hemlock tree, 170 00:11:29,799 --> 00:11:32,840 and I decided to climb and weigh out the pranksters 171 00:11:32,879 --> 00:11:34,759 who were trying to scare me out of my wits. 172 00:11:36,039 --> 00:11:38,440 Checking the sky, I noticed that within a few minutes 173 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,879 the clouds would reveal the full moon, provide me with 174 00:11:42,039 --> 00:11:45,120 enough light to see what was going on. I took 175 00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:47,720 a few more steps, marveling at the perfection that these 176 00:11:47,759 --> 00:11:53,200 guys had achieved with the footprints, and then I knew 177 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,799 it was no joke. I felt an unmistakable sense of warning, 178 00:11:57,879 --> 00:12:01,440 as clearly as if someone had spoken. I stopped and 179 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,159 looked up fifteen feet away, one hand on his hip, 180 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,759 the other gripping a branch of the hemlock that was 181 00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:12,159 just above my head. Was the biggest, hairiest guy on 182 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,919 two legs I ever want to see. Without thinking, I 183 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,679 started to thumb the safety off. He turned his head 184 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,720 to stare at me straight in the eyes. His teeth 185 00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:27,759 were showing. But it was not a snarl or a grin, 186 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,240 I wanted to say, it was a knowing smile. I 187 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,360 knew I could place a killing shot, but I also 188 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:39,120 knew it would be wrong, even criminal. He was saying 189 00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:42,039 to me, with all the power of the spirit, leave 190 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,399 me alone. One instant he was there, and the next 191 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,960 he turned and fled silently into the woods. At first 192 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,120 I thought it was just a dream. But then I 193 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,639 could feel that spirit, like a mist on the forest, 194 00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:00,000 wanting to be left alone. Jaclin said. He recalled little 195 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,279 as he ran and tumbled down the hill to the beach, 196 00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:06,320 hollering all the way. His partner, who was waiting on 197 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,120 the beach, insisted he made the trip down in half 198 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:16,720 the usual time. After daylight, the two retraced Jacklin's steps 199 00:13:16,799 --> 00:13:20,279 up the hillside. The foo footprints he had followed earlier 200 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,919 measured seventeen inches long and five or six inches wide. 201 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,279 The impressions left in the mossy ground convinced them the 202 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,320 creature weighed six hundred to eight hundred pounds when they 203 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,960 measured from the ground to the hemlock branch the creature 204 00:13:34,039 --> 00:13:38,200 had grasped as he turned they found the distance was 205 00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:41,519 nine and a half feet. My messenger was seven and 206 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,879 a half to eight feet tall. Jack Colin said. He 207 00:13:44,919 --> 00:13:48,639 said the creature looked very much like the one portrayed 208 00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:51,639 in the movie Harry and the Hendersons. This one was 209 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,799 equally as large, but more lean. He had long, silky 210 00:13:55,879 --> 00:13:58,799 hair in his arms, and it was a good six 211 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,240 inches long. And he walked direct. He was quiet and 212 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:07,639 made no sound. He was graceful. His movements were graceful. 213 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,799 I couldn't see his face too well, but it seemed 214 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,960 like his skin was leathery. His eyes were dark. He 215 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,320 had a glint in his eye. He had intelligence. A 216 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,799 short time after that encounter, he said, the Wrangell Sentinel 217 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,000 carried a photograph taken of the from the of the 218 00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:30,320 air car A short time later after that encounter, he said, 219 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,840 the Wrangell Sentinel carried a photograph taken from the air 220 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,840 of the track of a two legged creature in the 221 00:14:36,879 --> 00:14:41,080 deep snow of the mountains. Jacalan, who is forty, was 222 00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:44,679 raised on a homestead in the Talkitina Mountains and spent 223 00:14:44,759 --> 00:14:48,200 his share of time in the Alaskan bush. He realizes 224 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,960 that telling his story will convince some people he is 225 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,440 more in the business of hot air than cold. But 226 00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:56,799 as he says, I've spent enough time in the woods 227 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,840 to know the difference between when something is scaring me 228 00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:03,679 and I'm scaring myself, there is no question in my 229 00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:07,440 mind about what I saw. Twice more, during the five 230 00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:11,039 years he trapped in the area, he became convinced the 231 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,200 creatures were nearby and letting him know he was not welcome. 232 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,240 A year and a half after the first incident, he 233 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,279 set forty to fifty traps in a new area rich 234 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,960 with mink sign only to come back the next day 235 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,240 to find the traps had all been sprung. Thinking his 236 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,120 adversary was maybe a crafty wolf, he moved some and 237 00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:36,759 reset some, and when he returned the next day, the 238 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,200 traps were again sprung, but there was a stick left 239 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,200 in one, clearly not something one would expect it of 240 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,240 a wolf. Again, he reset some of the traps and 241 00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:51,320 moved others, and they returned the third day again, beaching 242 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,120 his skiff in the same spot and following the same 243 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,440 paths to avoid spreading his scent. All his traps were gone. 244 00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:01,960 As he was walked along the trail pondering the mystery. 245 00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:05,519 He found himself following what he thought were his own tracks, 246 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,639 and then I realized these were alongside the trail, and 247 00:16:09,679 --> 00:16:13,639 then I always stuck to the trail. The stride was 248 00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:17,279 one and a half times my usual stride, five to 249 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,759 six feet, and they left a deep impression in the moss, 250 00:16:20,759 --> 00:16:23,759 and I realized it was the sasquatch giving me a 251 00:16:23,799 --> 00:16:27,080 warning not to be in the area. As I launched 252 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,080 the skiff, I heard a rattling down in the water. 253 00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:33,679 I looked down and the traps were in a pile 254 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,080 by the skiff. Jaclin said he knew the area well 255 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,559 and knew there were no other people in the area. 256 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,879 In spite of the signs, the area would provide lucrative furs, 257 00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:48,159 he said the old trap the old trap sign he 258 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,639 found told him it had not been trapped since nineteen 259 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,360 thirty nine. I pulled out out of the creek. I 260 00:16:55,399 --> 00:16:58,200 didn't disturb any other places in that area, he said. 261 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,240 Some time later, another remote spot in the Islands, he 262 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,359 was in the process of putting together a ceed or 263 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,480 shake shed as a place to store his gear. He 264 00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:10,839 had felled a hefty seedar and was hand splitting the 265 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:16,200 shakes from it. And his dog began acting strangely. Henry 266 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,680 wasn't afraid of anything, not even a wolf. Most dogs 267 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,319 are terrified of even the smell of a wolf, he said. 268 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,839 This time, the usually unruffled dog started to whine and 269 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,039 crawled on his belly to the skiff. He climbed into 270 00:17:30,039 --> 00:17:33,640 the skiff without permission, something he had been trained never 271 00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:39,559 to do, and hunkered down under a seat. Jackellen had 272 00:17:39,599 --> 00:17:42,839 first dragged him out, but the dog continued to act terrified, 273 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,720 and that made me think. So I took a rifle 274 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,599 and walked in a hundred foot circle, and then I stopped. 275 00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:53,440 I knew I wasn't alone in the woods, so I 276 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:58,240 got in my skiff and I left. Motoring back. Later, 277 00:17:58,279 --> 00:18:00,480 he found the huge seatar he had been working on 278 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,559 had been carried to the bank and dumped into the 279 00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:08,920 cove without going ashore. He turned the skiff around and left. 280 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,759 I didn't want to give any indication that I would 281 00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:19,119 go against their will. What an intense story, huh wow. 282 00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:25,079 So this was definitely a case where he was definitely 283 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,200 told many times to get out of there. I don't 284 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,079 know if this is all on the same islander, if 285 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,960 it was a series of different places he was going. 286 00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:38,759 But anyway, but very cool story, very powerful, and I 287 00:18:38,799 --> 00:18:41,799 don't know, if you don't take all those messages, then 288 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,839 you're definitely missing something, all right. So let's go down 289 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,079 to the lower forty eight here and see what we 290 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:54,039 can find. I guess we can start in California. They 291 00:18:54,079 --> 00:18:56,920 seemed to be the birthing place of a lot of 292 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,640 our current and ongoing fascination with the Bigfoot. Of course, 293 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,599 the Batterson Gimlin film was shot in northern California, so 294 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,440 let's see what's going on there. Not an exact same location, 295 00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:13,880 but another location, as it were. So I'd like to 296 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,079 make a report about two encounters that happened to my 297 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,200 uncle and I that took place in nineteen seventy and 298 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,480 seventy one. We were sixteen years old at the time. 299 00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:25,440 Both happened within a few miles of each other, northeast 300 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:31,119 of the town of Covello in Mendocino County, California. The 301 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,359 first was a rock throwing incident that happened in the 302 00:19:33,599 --> 00:19:37,480 Eelo River below Howard Lake. My grandparents and my uncle 303 00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:40,319 lived in Covello at the time, and I would spend 304 00:19:40,319 --> 00:19:43,319 summers there. My uncle and I were very close in 305 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,599 age just five months, so we were more like brothers 306 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,480 growing up. And this first incident, my grandfather dropped my 307 00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:52,680 uncle and myself at Howard Lake for a three day, 308 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,400 two night camping trip, and we only brought our sleeping bags, 309 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,960 no tent, fishing poles, and a Sheridan pump pellet gun. 310 00:20:00,759 --> 00:20:03,039 We had about a dozen apples and a few ordins, 311 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,799 and we would supplement that with fish and small game birds, 312 00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:09,799 et cetera. The first day we caught fish for dinner 313 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,559 and nothing of note happened. The second day, we decided 314 00:20:13,599 --> 00:20:15,960 to hike down the mountain to the Eel River to 315 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,039 fish and explore. And after a while at the river, 316 00:20:19,079 --> 00:20:21,519 we got a little boored and I had found a 317 00:20:21,519 --> 00:20:25,079 little piece of driftwood shaped really a lot like a 318 00:20:25,079 --> 00:20:28,599 baseball bat. So, being kids, we started simulated baseball game 319 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,279 where one of us would pitch small rocks from the 320 00:20:31,319 --> 00:20:34,559 gravel bar that were on and the other would smack 321 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,599 it with the bat. We did this for a while 322 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,599 when all of a sudden, a rock about fist size 323 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,960 came flying down from the hillside between me behind me 324 00:20:45,079 --> 00:20:49,400 rather and landed between us. We were very startled, to 325 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,359 say the least. We all that whoever done this to 326 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,279 knock it off. Due to heavy brush in the trees, 327 00:20:55,319 --> 00:20:58,920 we couldn't see anything. My uncle thought it might be 328 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,119 some of his buddies from town that followed us up here, 329 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,240 but no one was seen. We moved closer to the 330 00:21:05,319 --> 00:21:08,400 river and continued our impromptu game when another rock about 331 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,720 the same size crashed between us again. We really started 332 00:21:13,759 --> 00:21:15,440 to get pretty freaked out by this time, and we 333 00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:19,039 yelled that we were armed pellet rifle, well I know, 334 00:21:20,079 --> 00:21:23,440 and dangerous and to show themselves. And when nothing happened further, 335 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,480 we grabbed our stuff and hiked back to our camp. 336 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,680 We had to go up where the rocks had come from, 337 00:21:29,759 --> 00:21:31,759 and my uncle carried the pellet gun and I carried 338 00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:35,799 my bat. Tough guys and all. Anyway, we made it 339 00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:37,960 back to camp to discover that someone had gone through 340 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,359 our camp, unrolling our sleeping bags and scattering everything in camp. 341 00:21:43,319 --> 00:21:45,960 We had our fruit and a small pack that we 342 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,759 had hung in a tree about ten feet up and 343 00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:51,519 there are no there are bears in the area. The 344 00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:55,039 zipper of the pack was open and our fruit was gone. 345 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,279 Nothing else was missing, just thrown about. Well, we grabbed 346 00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:00,920 all of our stuff and made a bee line for 347 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,000 the road back to town. We're not going to stay 348 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,279 there any longer, And luckily for us, a family and 349 00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:08,160 a camper came by right away and gave us a 350 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,359 ride back to town. When we told my grandpa what 351 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,440 had happened, he was really curious as to why we 352 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,759 were back a day early, and all he said was 353 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,119 darn hippies. Well we got a chuckle out of that. 354 00:22:22,519 --> 00:22:24,680 We didn't know who or what messed with us, but 355 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,559 we knew it wasn't hippies. The second incident left no 356 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,119 doubt as to what was in those same hills. The 357 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,519 next summer, my uncle had his driver's license, so we 358 00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:39,000 went further up than Howard Lake to a place near 359 00:22:39,079 --> 00:22:42,440 Hammerhorn Lake, and there was a stream that my uncle 360 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,880 knew of that had a population of native brook trout 361 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,200 that he wanted to show me. He'd been there before 362 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,359 as he lived in Covelo and he was really a 363 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,160 great outdoorsman and explorer at seventeen years old. He was 364 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,359 fearless at that age. We arrived and we started fishing 365 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,680 going upstream, and we were in stealth mode as this 366 00:23:04,839 --> 00:23:07,440 was a small creek and the trout would spook at 367 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,000 any loud noise or fast movement. We went for a 368 00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:15,000 while and doing well, catching and releasing many fish, as 369 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,519 they were really kind of small, but we were really 370 00:23:17,559 --> 00:23:21,680 having a good time. We came to a large slab 371 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,680 of granite that rose up at an angle about twenty 372 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,119 feet or so, and my uncle started up it, so 373 00:23:27,839 --> 00:23:30,240 I followed right behind him and we got to the top. 374 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,559 We heard a loud scream from right below us. My 375 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,079 uncle stepped back right into me as the scream startled 376 00:23:38,079 --> 00:23:42,519 both of us. Almost immediately, we saw an animal take 377 00:23:42,559 --> 00:23:45,799 off from below us and across the an open sandbar. 378 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,240 It was on all fours and it took four steps. 379 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:54,440 It made a noise on every leap that sounded like woof, woof, 380 00:23:55,839 --> 00:23:59,559 And this happened so very fast that we stood there 381 00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:03,519 and shot watching. When it made its fourth leap, in 382 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,359 almost the same instant, it stopped and turned around and 383 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,480 stood on two legs, staring back at us. It was 384 00:24:11,519 --> 00:24:14,559 about twenty or twenty five yards away, and we and 385 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,119 it stood for maybe five seconds. It then made a 386 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,720 hoff noise and turned and walked away on those two legs. 387 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,359 It only took a few seconds to disappear into the brush. 388 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:31,599 We just turned and started leaving post haste. I remember 389 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,039 one of us or both of us saying, what the 390 00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:39,960 hell was that we were in shock? Let me describe 391 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,119 this thing as I remember. I got a real good 392 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,680 look at it, and it was not anything I'd ever 393 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,000 seen before. It was dark brown to black in color. 394 00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:52,200 It had hair, not fur. It stood semi crouched. It 395 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,960 had long arms that were kind of outstretched forward and 396 00:24:56,079 --> 00:25:00,880 slightly to its side, with its palms pointed down. It 397 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,960 did not have hair on its face or on its fingers. 398 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,119 It did not have hair on its face or his fingers. 399 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,359 Its skin was dark gray. Its eyes were dark brown 400 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,359 with no whites that I could see. And it had 401 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,519 a flat nose with the nostrils pointed down. And I 402 00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:19,799 think this animal was about six and a half feet tall. 403 00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:22,920 My uncle was six foot three at the time, and 404 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,279 the creature was slightly taller. It had broad shoulders that 405 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,359 tapered down to the waist, and I'd estimated its weight 406 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,599 to be about two hundred and fifty pounds. The deal 407 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,440 about it being on all fours, if I was to speculate, 408 00:25:35,519 --> 00:25:38,960 I think it was laying down below the granite slab 409 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,960 that we were on, and we surprised it. That's why 410 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,839 I think it took off on all fours. We did 411 00:25:44,839 --> 00:25:47,200 not see it until it was moving and the and 412 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,359 man was it moving. We did not see it until 413 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,759 it was moving, and man, it was moving. The look 414 00:25:53,799 --> 00:25:56,720 on its face was one of shock or surprise, almost 415 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,839 like it couldn't believe that we had gotten so close 416 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,279 to it. We decided not to tell anyone about this 417 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,079 so as not to be ridiculed, and we didn't think 418 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,920 anyone would believe us anyway. We talked about this a 419 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,359 few times and started hearing and learning about Bigfoot, to 420 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,960 the point that we had no doubt that we had 421 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,640 seen one. My uncle was killed in a tragic car 422 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,000 accident in nineteen seventy seven, and I've kept these things 423 00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:25,680 to myself to avoid ridicule. I feel that with all 424 00:26:25,759 --> 00:26:28,759 the research and photos and videos now, that it is 425 00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:32,359 only a matter of time for definitive proof of Bigfoot's existence. 426 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,640 My family and members are skeptics and don't really care 427 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,480 about this one way or the other, and I think 428 00:26:38,519 --> 00:26:42,960 that maybe by reporting this here I can maybe get 429 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:48,839 some closure. It's weighed on me for over forty years. Ps. 430 00:26:49,519 --> 00:26:53,079 These things happen over forty years ago, and everything that 431 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,599 I have stated here is to the best of my recollection. 432 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,839 I may have some details off a little and for 433 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:04,160 that I apologize. Wow, what a story, What a what 434 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,720 a wild story. I guess this is probably a good 435 00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:11,400 time to take the break, ladies and gentlemen, So we'll 436 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,640 be right back with more of these stories from across 437 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:18,400 America of encounters with the Sasquatch, the bigfoots. We'll be 438 00:27:18,519 --> 00:28:04,200 right back. Don't go away, everybody, all right, ladies and gentlemen, 439 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,440 We're back and back at it. These next stories, well 440 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,680 it's one story, but it's several different encounters, or at 441 00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:16,480 least a couple, but come from Harris County in Texas 442 00:28:16,519 --> 00:28:19,480 in the years of nineteen seventy two and seventy three, 443 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,759 and it's really near the Big Thicket. And if you're 444 00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:26,640 at all familiar with Bigfoot, especially the research going on 445 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,839 in the South in the Texas region, the Big Thicket 446 00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:34,039 is the place that many researchers go and have had 447 00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:37,759 some really incredible experiences come out of there. So there 448 00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:39,799 doesn't seem to be any question that that is a 449 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,319 really active area for Sasquatch, and let's read it and 450 00:28:44,519 --> 00:28:48,079 we'll see what you guys think. This happened back in 451 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,880 nineteen seventy two nineteen seventy three in a town called 452 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,599 Channel View, Texas. That's in Harris County, just east off 453 00:28:54,599 --> 00:28:58,920 of Houston off of the Ien Freeway. I really haven't 454 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,400 told anyone about this all these years, but I will 455 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,640 never forget it. I'm fifty two years old now and 456 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,920 live in Washington State, and I didn't think it about 457 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,640 it before I moved up here. But they have the 458 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,920 things up in Washington as well. Lucky for me, I 459 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,759 haven't seen one after I left Texas, but I'm not 460 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,599 looking for one. However, I think I know what the 461 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:25,559 one that was following me wanted. The first time I 462 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,720 encountered one was the summer of seventy three and a 463 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,960 school buddy of mine, along with my little brother, went 464 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,960 camping not far from the house. This was a place 465 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,119 in the middle of a large field with four ponds 466 00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:40,960 in it that we called the Dynamite Holes. That's because 467 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,240 the holes were blasted out with dynamite when they were 468 00:29:43,279 --> 00:29:47,279 looking for oil. Several years ago. We decided to put 469 00:29:47,279 --> 00:29:49,359 our two man pup tents off to one side of 470 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,799 the pond that we did most of our swimming in. 471 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,480 There was another pond next to it that had a 472 00:29:54,519 --> 00:29:57,319 lot of weeds around it, so no one swam in 473 00:29:57,359 --> 00:30:01,039 that one. The bank was slightly elevated around the area 474 00:30:01,079 --> 00:30:04,000 that I had my sleeping bag, and the water around 475 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,960 the pond was about ten to fifteen feet away. And 476 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,920 that was the weed pond, and it was to the 477 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,880 north of us. And in the next pond was the 478 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,000 one we swam in, and it was just off the 479 00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:18,160 east of us. There were two other ponds nearby. One 480 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,240 was northeast of the weed pond and had a small 481 00:30:21,279 --> 00:30:24,759 area that connected to the swimming pond, and another pond 482 00:30:24,799 --> 00:30:30,839 that was about fifty yards southwest of the campsite. Somewhere 483 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,039 between ten o'clock and midnight that night, everybody went to bed. 484 00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:37,440 I went into my sleeping bag with my head towards 485 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,079 the weed pond so I could see the fire. We 486 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,759 had gone about five feet from my feet, and the 487 00:30:43,799 --> 00:30:46,400 tent was off to my left about twenty feet or less. 488 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,680 And it was a clear night with hardly any breeze 489 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,000 at all. I had my dog and Mike, my buddy, 490 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,000 had his also, and both dogs were lying just on 491 00:30:55,039 --> 00:30:59,119 the opposite side of the fire pit from me. The 492 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,119 fire was getting low, oh, and I was just about 493 00:31:01,119 --> 00:31:04,240 to fall asleep, but I could hear something walking around 494 00:31:04,279 --> 00:31:07,160 the west side of the weed pond heading my way. 495 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,240 It was coming up pretty fast, with long, heavy steps. 496 00:31:11,839 --> 00:31:13,759 I looked down at the fire because the dogs were 497 00:31:13,799 --> 00:31:18,039 growling and looking past me over my head. The footsteps 498 00:31:18,079 --> 00:31:21,440 stops just as it got behind me. I knew the 499 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,160 pond was ten feet away from my head, so this 500 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,279 thing was less than that. 501 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:25,759 Speaker 5: To me. 502 00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 2: I couldn't move. All I could do was keep the 503 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,359 sleeping bag hood over my head and keep watching the dogs. 504 00:31:34,359 --> 00:31:36,799 My plan was that if the thing tried to grab me, 505 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,599 hopefully the dogs would jump up and scare it off. 506 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,920 But all they did was stare at the thing that 507 00:31:42,039 --> 00:31:44,119 was behind me and growl with their eyes as wide 508 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:49,039 as silver dollars. But they never moved. After what seemed 509 00:31:49,079 --> 00:31:51,880 like twenty minutes, the thing went on its way around 510 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,519 the pond, past the tent where the other two were sleeping, 511 00:31:56,119 --> 00:31:59,279 and out towards the open field. And that's when I 512 00:31:59,319 --> 00:32:01,480 got out of sleep and went over to the tent 513 00:32:01,559 --> 00:32:04,799 to wake the others. Mike had a shotgun, but by 514 00:32:04,839 --> 00:32:07,440 the time they came out, it was too far away 515 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,880 for a shot. Several hundred yards from the pond. Off 516 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,519 to the east was a church and they had lights 517 00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:15,839 on their parking lot, and the field had been mowed 518 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,880 not long before we went camping, so you could see 519 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,000 the silhouette of a dog running in the field. Between 520 00:32:22,119 --> 00:32:25,519 us and the church. North of the field was several 521 00:32:25,519 --> 00:32:28,599 acres of woods, and that was where the thing was going. 522 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,279 It was big, with long hair hanging from its long arms, 523 00:32:33,799 --> 00:32:36,839 and it was moving fast across the field, even though 524 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,759 it was only walking. We just watched it go into 525 00:32:39,799 --> 00:32:42,440 the woods and after that we grabbed all our gear 526 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:47,720 and headed home. Well, that was the first encounter. A 527 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,880 few weeks after the camping trip, I was at home 528 00:32:50,359 --> 00:32:53,359 in nor Ell Street in Channelview, Texas, east of Houston, 529 00:32:54,119 --> 00:32:57,960 just north of a tent. Again. We had a house 530 00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,839 that was L shaped with a small storage room on 531 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:03,039 the north side. Between the storeroom and the inside corner 532 00:33:03,079 --> 00:33:06,079 of the L was a concrete patio and next to 533 00:33:06,119 --> 00:33:09,359 the storeroom was the sliding back door that went into 534 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,599 the den slash family room. It was about nine or 535 00:33:12,599 --> 00:33:14,880 ten pm and I was getting ready to go to bed. 536 00:33:15,519 --> 00:33:17,559 I was in the bathroom that was next to the 537 00:33:17,559 --> 00:33:20,599 inside corner of the l and it had a window 538 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,680 that looked out onto the patio at the back of 539 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,000 the house. The light was on next to the back door, 540 00:33:26,039 --> 00:33:29,039 so you could see everything that was on the patio 541 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,880 up to the side of the storeroom. As I finished 542 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,119 my shower and was drying off, I could see the 543 00:33:35,319 --> 00:33:38,839 fool shape of someone standing at the back sliding door, 544 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,640 looking into the den where my dad was sitting. My 545 00:33:42,759 --> 00:33:44,640 Dad was in his lounge chair with his back to 546 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,039 the door, watching the television that was on the opposite wall. 547 00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:51,759 Although the bathroom window had water in it from the steam, 548 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,200 I could see that the thing looking in was bent 549 00:33:55,279 --> 00:33:57,559 forward in order to have its head low enough to 550 00:33:57,599 --> 00:34:00,599 be able to see into the house. This was a 551 00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:04,599 big person, both in height and in bulk, and that 552 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,039 was when I decided to wipe the window with my hand. 553 00:34:07,799 --> 00:34:10,039 I should have turned the light off in the bathroom first, 554 00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:12,800 but I didn't, and just as I started to wipe 555 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,039 the window, it stood up, looked at me, and turned 556 00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:19,199 and with one step was off the patio and around 557 00:34:19,199 --> 00:34:21,039 the storage room before I could get a good look 558 00:34:21,039 --> 00:34:24,280 at it. If I remember right, the size of the 559 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,719 patio was six foot by twelve foot it so it 560 00:34:29,079 --> 00:34:32,400 had to take one step that covered about five feet 561 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,599 to get off the patio. Anyway, I covered myself with 562 00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:38,280 a towel and went into the den where my dad was, 563 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,400 thinking he may have fallen asleep with the TV like 564 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,400 he usually did, but he was awake in his chair 565 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,960 and I told him what I saw, and he looked 566 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,480 at me and said, yeah, I know. I could see 567 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,239 the shadow from the back of the door on the 568 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,639 floor of the den. I asked him what did he 569 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,239 want to do about it, and he told me there 570 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,960 wasn't anything we could do. So much for the second encounter. 571 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,760 The third encounter was a few days after the second encounter. 572 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,000 I was going to walk down the street and visit 573 00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:09,920 a friend of mine named Greg Smith. The house was 574 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,719 about in the middle of the block on the east 575 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,159 side of the street, and Greg's house was at the 576 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,199 end of the street to the north, on the west 577 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,039 side of the block. That put it about six to 578 00:35:19,079 --> 00:35:22,119 seven houses away. And I can't remember the time, but 579 00:35:22,199 --> 00:35:24,320 it was dark out and the porch light was on 580 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,360 the house across from mine, and just one house north 581 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,960 was vacant at the time. Some of the kids would 582 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,440 go too, so we could smoke cigarettes and hide out 583 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,199 from our folks, maybe sneak a beer from home and 584 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,239 drink it with our buddies. Well after I walked out 585 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,639 of the house, I could hear dogs barking from the 586 00:35:42,679 --> 00:35:45,760 other street behind the old vacant house, and I didn't 587 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,960 think a lot about it and started walking up the 588 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,639 street to Greg's place. And as soon as I made 589 00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:53,559 it past the old house, I heard the dogs and 590 00:35:53,599 --> 00:35:56,360 they were going nuts. So I turned to see what 591 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,400 it was that they were barking at, and just then 592 00:35:59,039 --> 00:36:01,920 I saw this large urge thing that was in the 593 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,320 backyard of the old house step over a three to 594 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,400 four foot high chain link fence and start walking along 595 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,480 the side of the house toward the street. I was 596 00:36:12,519 --> 00:36:15,079 about one house away by this time, and I could 597 00:36:15,159 --> 00:36:17,760 see that his head was even with the eaves of 598 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,000 the house as it headed to the street. That caught 599 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,880 my attention real fast. I kept walking towards Greg's house 600 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,440 and looking behind me every second or so to keep 601 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,360 an eye on that thing. It went to the street 602 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,039 and started walking straight at me. I knew from all 603 00:36:34,039 --> 00:36:37,079 my hunting times that you don't want to run away 604 00:36:37,119 --> 00:36:39,599 from a wild animal unless you have no other choice, 605 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,639 because this may cause the thing to run after you 606 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,840 like it's like your its food. So I started walking faster, 607 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,639 but every time I looked behind me, the thing was 608 00:36:49,679 --> 00:36:53,280 getting closer and closer. I could see the long, big 609 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,000 arms and long hair moving as it walked, and the 610 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,039 steps it took were about twice as long as mine, 611 00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:02,920 so it was catching up with me. By this time, 612 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,480 I was just about to start running because I couldn't 613 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:09,000 walk any faster, And just as I got inside Greg's yard, 614 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,159 I hit the gas and ran up the walk and 615 00:37:11,199 --> 00:37:14,559 in the house. I didn't waste time knocking or anything. 616 00:37:14,599 --> 00:37:18,199 I just went in. Everyone in the house came up 617 00:37:18,199 --> 00:37:20,679 to see what the problem was, and I started to 618 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,239 tell them what happened, and Greg and me, along with 619 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,360 my little brother, he was spending the night at Greg's 620 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,360 house with Greg's little brothers, all went out to see 621 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,360 if we could see anything. The last I saw of 622 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,840 the thing, it was about even alongside of a large 623 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,679 tree in the yard next to Greg's house. We went 624 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,159 over to the tree and looked around with the flashlight, 625 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,599 but didn't see anything. That house next to Gregg's was 626 00:37:45,599 --> 00:37:48,760 also vacant and didn't have a porch light on. Looking 627 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,800 at it now, as we were standing around the big 628 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,639 tree trying to make sense of what happened, I remember 629 00:37:54,639 --> 00:37:57,639 the tree was swaying and moving a lot. However, for 630 00:37:57,679 --> 00:37:59,760 the life of me, I can't recall any wind blowing that. 631 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,159 In fact, I don't think there was any wind. Weird, 632 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:10,320 isn't it. Well, that's it. Let me know what you think. Huh. 633 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,039 So I wonder if the thing was up in the tree. 634 00:38:14,679 --> 00:38:18,000 I do believe they're They're proficient climbers, so that wouldn't 635 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,400 surprise me at all. But but we got more to 636 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,079 read for you tonight, ladies and gentlemen, more to cover here, 637 00:38:26,159 --> 00:38:31,719 So let's see what's next. The next one's coming from Montana, 638 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,320 which is right next door to me. I'm up in 639 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,760 the northern tip of Idaho, of all places, just beautiful 640 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,519 up here, but it's really beautiful over in Montana as well. 641 00:38:39,519 --> 00:38:42,519 It was just over there a few weeks ago investigating 642 00:38:42,599 --> 00:38:46,000 the Colomba Ghost Town, which is right near Missoula, Montana. 643 00:38:46,559 --> 00:38:48,840 So I had a really great time and I can't 644 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,559 wait to get back over there to do more. Of it, 645 00:38:50,599 --> 00:38:54,599 but we got another one. So let's see what this 646 00:38:54,639 --> 00:38:57,519 one says. It has to do with some mysterious tracks. 647 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,239 So it says if if someone was playing a hoax, 648 00:39:01,639 --> 00:39:04,480 they did a really good job, said Messing Bob Messing, 649 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,599 referring to a number of unidentified footprints at a neighbor's 650 00:39:07,599 --> 00:39:11,679 house some sixteen miles down River Road West. Eight year 651 00:39:11,679 --> 00:39:15,039 old Austin Peterson discovered the footprints while he and his dad, 652 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,840 Dean Peterson, were visiting their neighbor, Jim Roweder, near his 653 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,800 shop about three pm January third. Eighty seven year old 654 00:39:25,039 --> 00:39:28,559 row Weeder, who was working on a sawmill engine, initially 655 00:39:28,559 --> 00:39:31,559 thought the tracks were bare, but when he looked closer, 656 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:36,599 he noticed a toe like formation that made the footprints 657 00:39:36,599 --> 00:39:40,079 look more human than animal, According to Peterson, who lives 658 00:39:40,119 --> 00:39:44,079 next door to Jim and Gladys Roweder, I don't know 659 00:39:44,119 --> 00:39:46,559 if I believe in the Bigfoot theory, but the tracks 660 00:39:46,559 --> 00:39:49,519 were right there, said Messing, who has lived on River 661 00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:52,400 Road West for seventeen years and has never seen anything 662 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,000 suspicious prior to this. But what else could it be? 663 00:39:56,119 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 4: He asked. 664 00:39:57,519 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 2: Peterson and Messing searched for about two hours following the 665 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,079 tracks into the woods about one hundred yards, but the 666 00:40:03,079 --> 00:40:06,760 footprints faded off under the trees where there was little 667 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,719 snow and the ground was hard and rocky. Messing said 668 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,639 that there were hundreds upon hundreds of the strange footprints, 669 00:40:14,119 --> 00:40:17,320 which generally measured about sixteen and a half inches long 670 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,639 by eight and a half inches wide. Wow. Messing said 671 00:40:21,639 --> 00:40:24,119 the footprints were more defined in the newer fallen two 672 00:40:24,119 --> 00:40:27,239 inches of snow in the open spaces of the row 673 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,760 eater yard. I didn't believe it until I saw the tracks, 674 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,679 said Colleen Messing, Bob's wife. I was skeptical, but here 675 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,159 are the tracks in front of me, said Peterson. I 676 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,199 studied them, and I think they're real, he added. Bob 677 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,719 Messing said the footprints measured sixteen and a half inches 678 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,639 by eight and a half inches wide at the widest point, 679 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,199 just behind the toes. Peterson said the he with was 680 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,280 nearly four inches. He guessed the smaller the square inches 681 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:57,400 of the print that the animal weighed. He guessed by 682 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,679 the square inches of the print that the animal weighed 683 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,960 between eight hundred and the thousand pounds. Messing said the 684 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,079 tracks looked as though whatever made them walked from the 685 00:41:07,119 --> 00:41:09,920 direction of Eddie Creek into roe Eder's yard, and then 686 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,760 turned around and walked towards the Clark Fork River. I 687 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,360 couldn't prove where they came out of the woods because 688 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,280 they faded off in the slush, said Messing, but he 689 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,039 added that most of the area is hard ground and 690 00:41:22,079 --> 00:41:25,119 difficult to track. You could run a front end loader 691 00:41:25,159 --> 00:41:27,199 out there and not see any tracks, said Messing, a 692 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,719 forty five year old contractor. He said that the footprints 693 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,920 were easy to see in the snow, but rains washed 694 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,800 most of them away the following day. Messing believes the 695 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,000 subject walked up to Roweder's shop during the night when 696 00:41:40,599 --> 00:41:45,360 Roweder's motion light came on. Whatever left the tracks turned around, 697 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,400 unstartled and just walked away. If it was a person 698 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,440 playing a prank, we figured that when the motion light 699 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,039 came on, the person would have run, said Messing. Peterson 700 00:41:55,079 --> 00:41:58,360 also found the tracks in front of Roweeder's house. Whatever 701 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:02,639 it was, it wasn't in any hurry, he said. Peterson 702 00:42:02,679 --> 00:42:06,199 said that about three thirty am the same day, he 703 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,960 woke up to find his dog barking, and when he 704 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,000 looked outside, he saw Roweder's motion light on at the shop. 705 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:17,159 About forty five yards away, but saw nothing. Sightings of 706 00:42:17,199 --> 00:42:21,840 the so called Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is a large, furry, 707 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,639 humanlike animal that dwells predominantly in isolated areas of California, 708 00:42:26,119 --> 00:42:30,440 the northwestern United States, and Canada. I don't believe that 709 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,920 at all. As you can tell from the stories we've 710 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:38,719 covered tonight, they're everywhere. The Sasquatch Watch Headquarters in South Carolina, 711 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,440 which was created in nineteen ninety eight, keeps a collection 712 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,679 of hundreds of big Foot sightings from nineteen sixty five 713 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,519 until the present. The Discovery Channel recently aired a special 714 00:42:48,559 --> 00:42:52,079 feature about the existence of Bigfoot. The television special noted 715 00:42:52,119 --> 00:42:55,719 that scientists believe that there may be thousands of undiscovered 716 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:59,880 species on Earth. For decades, anthropologists have studied hair samples, 717 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,760 photographs of footprints, and testimony from people who claim to 718 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:08,559 have seen Bigfoot, with no solid, conclusive evidence that Sasquatch exists. 719 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,239 Only recently was it determined that California resident Ray Wallace 720 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,440 faked the fame prince of a nineteen fifty eight Bigfoot 721 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,159 well that was actually discovered a long time ago. But 722 00:43:21,079 --> 00:43:24,360 I guess I don't know when exactly this was written. So, 723 00:43:25,039 --> 00:43:26,960 But anyway, I've been out in the woods a lot, 724 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,119 and I've seen grizzly bear tracks and mountain lion tracks, 725 00:43:30,159 --> 00:43:33,360 but never anything like this, said Messing. They also found 726 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,280 a large pile of dung near the tracks that they 727 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,199 couldn't identify, and they had planned to send a sample 728 00:43:38,199 --> 00:43:41,400 of the pile to the lab, but decided against it. 729 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,119 And Messing said they didn't notify any authorities of the fine, 730 00:43:44,159 --> 00:43:50,239 but he plans to to five. It says a five. Sorry, 731 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:54,079 I didn't write this, so I guess plans to send 732 00:43:54,119 --> 00:43:56,679 a sample of the feces to Fish and Games, but 733 00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,519 it says five instead of send. I don't know this stuff, 734 00:44:00,599 --> 00:44:02,559 ladies and gentlemen. I just do my best to read 735 00:44:02,599 --> 00:44:06,719 it for you. The creature definitely wasn't flat footed, said Peterson, 736 00:44:07,039 --> 00:44:10,360 formerly of Callispell Policeman. You could tell there was an arch. 737 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,559 Now that's interesting because usually, as I understand that, there 738 00:44:13,599 --> 00:44:17,840 isn't an arch on a big foot's foot because of 739 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,199 the mid tarsl hinge or break as some people call it, 740 00:44:22,119 --> 00:44:25,199 that nullifies any arch that might occur in the foot. 741 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,559 But I don't know. I didn't see the print, so 742 00:44:28,599 --> 00:44:32,239 I don't know what they're talking about for sure, but anyway, 743 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,480 let's continue the story. There were absolutely toes, said Messing, 744 00:44:35,519 --> 00:44:39,159 who said it looks like a human foot, but slightly squared. 745 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,280 It was absolutely not an animal that we would normally 746 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,440 see out here, he said, and as I have never 747 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:49,079 seen anything like that. Messing said, they studied the tracks 748 00:44:49,079 --> 00:44:51,320 and noted that there was more pressure on the heel 749 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,599 and toes like when a person walks. He said. They 750 00:44:54,639 --> 00:44:59,360 search for additional tracks until shortly after dark. Messing said 751 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,639 that after finding the tracks, he and his wife, Colleen, 752 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:06,760 locked up looked up information about bigfoot and a foot 753 00:45:07,159 --> 00:45:11,880 in a foot titled Mysteries of the Unexplained. I think 754 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,400 that was supposed to be a book titled Mysteries of 755 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,000 the Unexplained, and found several similarities between what the tracks 756 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,239 they found and what was in the book. He said 757 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,679 that most of the tracks indicated a five foot stride, 758 00:45:23,679 --> 00:45:26,320 but some further apart, which he said could have been 759 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,199 a jump or something running. If it was a prank, 760 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,159 the person would have had to have something on his 761 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,280 or her feet because there's no other tracks nearby. You 762 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,159 read about these things, but to have it presented to you. 763 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,280 It's really excited, said Peterson. The more I looked at 764 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,239 the tracks, he added, there was no way they were false. 765 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,719 We were running around like little kids, said Messing. If 766 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,119 someone did fake it, they did a hell of a job, 767 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,440 said Peterson. I couldn't explain it, but I had fun, 768 00:45:53,519 --> 00:45:56,519 said Messing. I hope no one does explain it, because 769 00:45:56,519 --> 00:45:58,400 I had fun running around like a chicken with my 770 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:03,199 head cut off. Well, that's a pretty cool story. I 771 00:46:03,199 --> 00:46:06,760 think that's pretty awesome. Now again, I think that they're 772 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,719 they're not necessarily accurate with their summation about these prints. 773 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,280 Not that I'm a print expert, ladies and gentlemen, but 774 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,440 I've I've literally looked into, you know, thousands of different 775 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,000 resources about Bigfoot over the years, because you know, I'm 776 00:46:20,079 --> 00:46:22,159 very interested in the subject myself when it comes to 777 00:46:22,199 --> 00:46:25,400 the paranormal. It's really my my bread and butter, if 778 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,760 you will. But I don't believe that they have an arch. 779 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,239 I think that that's not exactly accurate. I think again, 780 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,719 because the the weight on a on a Sasquatch is 781 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,800 so profound that their their their feet actually hinge forward 782 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,639 further than ours. Ours are more like hinged at the 783 00:46:45,639 --> 00:46:48,679 ball of the foot right behind the toes, but a 784 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,920 mid tarsl hinge would put the hinge just in front 785 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:57,119 of the ankle on on this larger species, And so 786 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,320 there's as I understand that there should not be an march. 787 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,239 It's pretty much a flat footed kind of animal. I 788 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:07,119 think it has an extraordinarily thick and soft you know, 789 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,559 not soft, but I think it's got a lot of 790 00:47:09,559 --> 00:47:11,800 soft tissue on the bottom of the foot, with a 791 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:16,840 very thick pad of some kind of hardened flesh. Much 792 00:47:17,159 --> 00:47:20,360 I've understood that it's explained as much like a dog's foot, 793 00:47:21,079 --> 00:47:23,920 you know, that hard I don't know, crusty kind of 794 00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,480 skin that they have on the bottom of their toepads. 795 00:47:26,559 --> 00:47:30,760 So but anyway, I think that it's pretty neat and 796 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,239 if it made some people become believers or at least 797 00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,039 give it some credibility, that's pretty cool. I really hope 798 00:47:37,039 --> 00:47:38,960 it's not a prank. I mean, there are people out 799 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,360 there that are working really hard to try to you know, 800 00:47:42,559 --> 00:47:45,559 fool people for whatever reasons, and I think that that's 801 00:47:45,559 --> 00:47:48,800 really incredibly unfortunate because a lot of people are working 802 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,559 really hard to try to bring this to serious consideration, 803 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:56,079 and these hoaxers are just dragging us all through the mud. 804 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,159 You know, anybody that has a belief in this. These 805 00:47:59,199 --> 00:48:01,480 people are desperate trying to make them look foolish, and 806 00:48:01,519 --> 00:48:05,559 that's really unfortunate. But for whatever reason they do what 807 00:48:05,639 --> 00:48:08,159 they do, why they do it, how they do it, 808 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,079 what the hell? I guess they got more free time 809 00:48:10,119 --> 00:48:15,440 than I have. So but anyway, I just think that 810 00:48:15,519 --> 00:48:22,039 these stories definitely illustrate the wide, incredible range that these 811 00:48:22,079 --> 00:48:26,440 beings take and can exist in. Now we have them 812 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,360 coming out of Florida and the swamps of Florida, they 813 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:33,159 are coming from the you know, the mountains, they're they're 814 00:48:33,199 --> 00:48:35,960 all over the East coast, the West coast, they're they're 815 00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,519 in the Midwest. There doesn't seem to be a range 816 00:48:39,519 --> 00:48:45,920 in the in the lower forty eight that they don't occupy. 817 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:44,079 Speaker 5: You know. 818 00:48:44,079 --> 00:48:47,599 Speaker 2: And maybe maybe there are more of them now than 819 00:48:47,639 --> 00:48:50,880 there ever have been before, I don't know, Or maybe 820 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,079 there are just more people willing to talk about it 821 00:48:53,119 --> 00:48:56,599 than ever before. Whatever the case is, there's lots of 822 00:48:56,639 --> 00:48:59,400 reports coming out all the time. A lot of people 823 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,159 are out there looking to see what they can find, 824 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:07,119 and maybe someday we'll actually have some kind of official 825 00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,760 admission of the existence of these things. But you know, again, 826 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,159 there's mixed thoughts on that as well. I think my 827 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:21,800 cat just knock something over awesome. He's always exploring ladies 828 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,400 and gentlemen. But I hope you've enjoyed this show.
