<v Speaker 1>to where we need to be when this all started

26
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 1>for you.

27
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

28
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 3>So well, I'm my name is John and go by Johnny,

29
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:29.480
<v Speaker 3>and I've lived in the Pacific Northwest border raised and

30
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 3>go straight to my first encounter. About five and a

31
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.000
<v Speaker 3>half almost six years now. I lived in a little

32
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 3>town called Clear Lake, Washington, and I was smoking cigarettes

33
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:42.959
<v Speaker 3>at the time. Of course that's not a good out,

34
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 3>but I would wake up to have to go to

35
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.200
<v Speaker 3>the restroom in the middle of the night, and would

36
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:50.079
<v Speaker 3>go down and go out on my front porch because

37
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.079
<v Speaker 3>most of the time it's raining, you know, whether it's

38
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 3>spring or fall. But it was early spring, and I

39
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:57.319
<v Speaker 3>just stepped out on the porch and it was dark

40
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 3>and lit a cigarette and like a thousand coyotes and

41
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 3>a tiger war all at the same time to the

42
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:08.520
<v Speaker 3>point that it felt like, now I did it vibrate me,

43
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.159
<v Speaker 3>but it vibrated the front of my house, and I

44
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 3>just kind of went and just kind of just threw

45
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.759
<v Speaker 3>my cigarette out in the yard and Alison locked the

46
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:19.599
<v Speaker 3>door and I was kind of just talked to myself, Wow,

47
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:21.400
<v Speaker 3>there ain't much I could do right now if that

48
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 3>thing wanted to come get me, because as big as

49
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:26.199
<v Speaker 3>it sounds, I'm not messing with it.

50
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>So and it was a clear and vocal because.

51
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 3>Then I heard heavy footsteps, so it was I don't

52
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.439
<v Speaker 3>know if I startled, it is what I was thinking,

53
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:41.439
<v Speaker 3>probably because I noticed that in that area, when they

54
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 3>come back in the spring, whether wherever they come from,

55
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.840
<v Speaker 3>they like to push trees out into the roads. You'll

56
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.199
<v Speaker 3>go like a mile up certain roads and there'll be

57
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.560
<v Speaker 3>a tree that the top just barely sticks out and

58
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.039
<v Speaker 3>the road a couple two or three feet, and then

59
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 3>a mile or two later there'll be another one. But

60
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.560
<v Speaker 3>there'd be no windstorms or anything during that time. And

61
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.199
<v Speaker 3>then I almost thinking that they're marking their way that

62
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:05.240
<v Speaker 3>they're coming back in, and I letting others know that

63
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 3>they're you know, traveling up power lines or going back

64
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 3>to wherever their feeding grounds, probably on the early spring

65
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.000
<v Speaker 3>and through the summer. So and that was kind of

66
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.039
<v Speaker 3>my first you know, close enough that it really I mean,

67
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.840
<v Speaker 3>it really scared my pants off. And then we'll go

68
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:27.159
<v Speaker 3>to my second one, and so I'm by now. I've

69
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 3>bought in a place in a small town called marble

70
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.639
<v Speaker 3>Mount in Washington, and it was a heavily timbered acre

71
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 3>and a half, and being from a logging family, I

72
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 3>was really excited about it because I got it for

73
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 3>a good price and I could log it. And my

74
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.439
<v Speaker 3>youngest son was staying with me fifty percent of the time,

75
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 3>and so I was driving back and forth from Marblemount

76
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:50.319
<v Speaker 3>to clear Lake to take him to school or dropping

77
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.240
<v Speaker 3>him off or pick him up. On a Friday night,

78
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:56.080
<v Speaker 3>I'd having Friday till like Tuesday, and I remember it.

79
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 3>I dropped him off that day to go see his

80
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.159
<v Speaker 3>mom and he would spend I think it was Tuesday through.

81
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Friday or whatever it was.

82
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.240
<v Speaker 3>When I picked him up and I was coming back

83
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.400
<v Speaker 3>on a well traveled road out of Cedar Woollie, and

84
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.159
<v Speaker 3>it was like, I'm just driving along in my little

85
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Diesel Volkswagen needle and all of a sudden, a very

86
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:23.160
<v Speaker 3>young adolescent sasquatch just came kind of like it. It

87
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 3>was like Michael Jordan. It must have jumped, you know,

88
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.600
<v Speaker 3>fifteen or twenty yards before the road, because it came

89
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.680
<v Speaker 3>down in the middle of the road and did a

90
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker 3>little stutter step and then jumped again. And there was

91
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 3>probably seven of the Highland cows that were up.

92
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Against the road.

93
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.879
<v Speaker 3>You know, it was fenced along the road and it

94
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 3>cleared the highland the cattle there, and then there was

95
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 3>very tall grass that they hadn't cut for hay yet.

96
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's three and a half four feet tall.

97
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:52.680
<v Speaker 3>And by the time I got up to him, and

98
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.000
<v Speaker 3>I probably maybe an eighth of mile was all And

99
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 3>by the time I got up there was gone. But

100
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 3>I could got a real good description of him. He

101
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:07.560
<v Speaker 3>was jet black, kind of a conical head, very lengthy arms, skinny,

102
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 3>though he looked he didn't look unhealthy, but he looked

103
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 3>like he was young and skinny, you know, like everybody

104
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:17.199
<v Speaker 3>is when they're in their youth. But and then when

105
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.600
<v Speaker 3>he was stretched out his his arm stretched out, you know,

106
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.279
<v Speaker 3>like when he hit it was like one arm went

107
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:24.000
<v Speaker 3>forward and the other one went back. And I noticed

108
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:29.480
<v Speaker 3>a very almost a rangutang orange under his armpit, you know,

109
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.639
<v Speaker 3>like where he sweated at would be the color of

110
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.519
<v Speaker 3>He was jet black and shiny as could be. And

111
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.399
<v Speaker 3>as I pulled up in my Volkswagen, I'm kind of

112
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 3>looking for him and then all of a sudden, just

113
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:40.240
<v Speaker 3>a fear come over me, and I'm like, what the

114
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:40.879
<v Speaker 3>heck am I doing?

115
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Man?

116
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 3>This thing just come out of the sky, is what

117
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:47.439
<v Speaker 3>it's like. And you know it had to jump. I

118
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.399
<v Speaker 3>would hate to say how many feet it probably jumped

119
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.639
<v Speaker 3>it to arc like that, I kind of explained it

120
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:54.600
<v Speaker 3>like if you ever watched Michael Jordan do a three

121
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 3>pointer when he hits the top of the key and

122
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.319
<v Speaker 3>it seems like he's just floating up, up and up,

123
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 3>and then as he as he comes down that arc,

124
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 3>that's exactly what I got.

125
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.519
<v Speaker 2>To see him hit a double step and go.

126
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 3>So that was my second encounter, about the same year

127
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:16.079
<v Speaker 3>as I had the screamer on the front porch. So

128
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:20.000
<v Speaker 3>then we'll go to the next one I have, which

129
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.319
<v Speaker 3>again is about two years later. And I've been actively

130
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:28.040
<v Speaker 3>logging my property and of course traveling my son back

131
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 3>and forth. And it was Friday, and then I picked

132
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.879
<v Speaker 3>him up and we'd always barbecue, and it's summer, and

133
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:35.920
<v Speaker 3>I live in an area where there's a lot of bearers,

134
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 3>and there's some cougars and boll cats.

135
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 2>And and sasquatch. I mean.

136
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Many at times I've heard him screaming in the back

137
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:50.839
<v Speaker 3>or getting in fights amongst themselves where you'll it'll sound

138
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker 3>like very much a female and yelling at something and

139
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 3>then they'll yell back and forth, and you know, me

140
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.360
<v Speaker 3>and my son look at each other and go whoa.

141
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.199
<v Speaker 2>And I go, yeah, that's that's fast, squatch. That's nothing

142
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 2>else does that. So when we were.

143
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:11.279
<v Speaker 3>Where my property is, it's heavily wooded from the power

144
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.800
<v Speaker 3>lines all the way to the Scadget River, and so

145
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 3>there was really from the power lines to the river,

146
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.120
<v Speaker 3>there wasn't anywhere that you know, they could go through

147
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:21.079
<v Speaker 3>there and not be seen.

148
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Well.

149
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Unfortunately, my acre and a half had big timber on

150
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.800
<v Speaker 3>fifty two inches on the butt my second growth for

151
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:33.240
<v Speaker 3>unlock a lot of here, and so I logged it.

152
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 2>And at the time I was living.

153
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.879
<v Speaker 3>In my fifth will, which was a toy hauler, and

154
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.160
<v Speaker 3>like a regular Friday night, we had dinner and we

155
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.839
<v Speaker 3>went to bed about ten thirty eleven and about two

156
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 3>thirty three, me and my son were woken, which at

157
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.360
<v Speaker 3>first I thought that my trailer got hit by a

158
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.439
<v Speaker 3>car that come off the highway. They did actually hit

159
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.759
<v Speaker 3>my trailer because it through me and kind of like

160
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.720
<v Speaker 3>I was slammed my feet where you know, I lay

161
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.560
<v Speaker 3>on my back, so my feet went up against the wall.

162
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.839
<v Speaker 3>It stood me up out of a dead sleep, like

163
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.120
<v Speaker 3>something hit the trailer that hard. And my son, he

164
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.959
<v Speaker 3>was slammed into the wall. He was just he was,

165
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.439
<v Speaker 3>and we both were kind of dazed and we kind

166
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:21.920
<v Speaker 3>of went I literally felt like the trailer's wheels left

167
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 3>the ground on that side, and so I thought a

168
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.600
<v Speaker 3>car hit. You know, sound asleep, maybe I didn't hear

169
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:29.839
<v Speaker 3>the crash. And I went to open up that door.

170
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.240
<v Speaker 3>My son goes, Dad, don't, don't, don't open that door.

171
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 3>And I go, why Son? He goes, no, it's a squatch.

172
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 3>He says, no, it's a squatch. Dad, I know it is.

173
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.000
<v Speaker 3>He goes I can feel him, and I go, what do.

174
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:40.440
<v Speaker 2>You mean, Keith.

175
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 3>He goes, no, don't go outside. It's it's not a car. Seriously, Dad,

176
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.399
<v Speaker 3>it's it's a you know, kind of a swear word.

177
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:48.879
<v Speaker 3>And I kind of jumped him about it, but he was,

178
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:49.879
<v Speaker 3>it's a squatch.

179
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:50.720
<v Speaker 2>It's Dad. I hit that.

180
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.360
<v Speaker 3>I hit that wall so hard, and so where his

181
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:57.080
<v Speaker 3>bed is is. I gave him the larger bed that

182
00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:00.279
<v Speaker 3>raises up and down that you raise up, put your

183
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.480
<v Speaker 3>four wheelers in, and you travel with it up. Well,

184
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:04.480
<v Speaker 3>when it's down, it sits about right in the middle

185
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:09.279
<v Speaker 3>of that wall. Now, when that's the asquatch hit that

186
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:12.720
<v Speaker 3>like a probably a football player put his shoulder into it.

187
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 2>It actually broke both walls.

188
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:19.360
<v Speaker 3>And I still have pictures of my phone today where

189
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.559
<v Speaker 3>you look at my fifth will and it's like something

190
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:25.000
<v Speaker 3>bulged it out back there where it literally sticks out

191
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:28.759
<v Speaker 3>like six inches farther and six inches in where it hit.

192
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 3>And unfortunately, the grounds so rocky up there no footprints

193
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:38.799
<v Speaker 3>at all. And so that was them kind of letting

194
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.200
<v Speaker 3>me know. I believe that they were not real happy

195
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.440
<v Speaker 3>about their super highway there being long. And it wasn't

196
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.440
<v Speaker 3>soon after that that I happened to be sitting in

197
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:53.639
<v Speaker 3>my toy haller and was I think having a snack

198
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:55.759
<v Speaker 3>or a cup of coffee, and it was dark out,

199
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:00.080
<v Speaker 3>just about dark dusk, the same here, but it was

200
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:05.480
<v Speaker 3>more in the fall and older sasquatched. It was probably

201
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:08.840
<v Speaker 3>around seven and a half feet, but very gray, very

202
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:12.480
<v Speaker 3>much a gray almost reminded me of like an old

203
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.879
<v Speaker 3>gray poodle color, like when the blacks starts to turn gray.

204
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:21.080
<v Speaker 3>Salt and pepper and it probably four steps, made it

205
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.679
<v Speaker 3>through an acre and a half. But I can remember

206
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:26.600
<v Speaker 3>as I watched him, it was one, two three, and

207
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:28.279
<v Speaker 3>he looked over at my trailer and he had a

208
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.639
<v Speaker 3>look on his face like he was so sad, Like

209
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 3>he was visibly sad. He looked like, oh, you know,

210
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:38.879
<v Speaker 3>what's he doing here?

211
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, wow.

212
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.279
<v Speaker 3>That kind of struck me, you know, kind of you

213
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:49.000
<v Speaker 3>know that they have intelligence and they do recognize obviously

214
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:52.519
<v Speaker 3>when they're a little super highway there that they ran

215
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.320
<v Speaker 3>back and forth from the power lines. It has been logged,

216
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure between the one boatdog and the trailer and

217
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.519
<v Speaker 3>then the old one that was expecting to probably come

218
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.200
<v Speaker 3>out in the woods like it always has. And well

219
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:09.120
<v Speaker 3>it's clear cut. I'm quite sad. And so then that's

220
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 3>that one. And then we're going to go to about

221
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.480
<v Speaker 3>a year later. So this has probably been about two

222
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.799
<v Speaker 3>years ago. And unfortunately, or not unfortunately, but I like

223
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.879
<v Speaker 3>to go to the casino. And so the back way

224
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:26.279
<v Speaker 3>to the casino from Marble Mountain is five thirty and

225
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:29.120
<v Speaker 3>that goes back through Darrington and you know, you can

226
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:31.960
<v Speaker 3>go back and into Arlington and you can go to

227
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.639
<v Speaker 3>Angel the Wind's Casino. Will I like to go really

228
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:40.039
<v Speaker 3>early in the morning, usually on weeknight, to go gamble.

229
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:40.440
<v Speaker 2>A little well.

230
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.600
<v Speaker 3>On my way back, I was coming back where there's

231
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.080
<v Speaker 3>a road about halfway down the five thirty in between

232
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.120
<v Speaker 3>Rockport and Darrington where you can cross over to get

233
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.159
<v Speaker 3>to the South s Gadget Highway. The Scadget down well

234
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.360
<v Speaker 3>as I was coming up, and it's a fairly sharp curve,

235
00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:59.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, to watch it, just slow down at me

236
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:05.200
<v Speaker 3>think it is forty miles an hour. I noticed a

237
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:10.200
<v Speaker 3>this truck come out and it was local natives and

238
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:14.879
<v Speaker 3>they are allowed to net the socks toaddle, and so

239
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.720
<v Speaker 3>the truck comes out and doesn't even stop, and obviously

240
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:19.600
<v Speaker 3>they could see that I'm coming, but I mean it

241
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.639
<v Speaker 3>just peels around the corner, just sideways, and bodies are

242
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:25.120
<v Speaker 3>rolling out of the back.

243
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.159
<v Speaker 2>You know that they normally tie on the one end

244
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:27.799
<v Speaker 2>of their nets.

245
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:33.559
<v Speaker 3>And then as I get closer, this Volkswagen Jetna comes

246
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.519
<v Speaker 3>out and the windows are down and I can clearly

247
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.639
<v Speaker 3>see that they're Native and they come around the corner

248
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.639
<v Speaker 3>and I mean they're they're flooring it. And so I'm

249
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:42.960
<v Speaker 3>just slowed down by that guy's already slowing down to

250
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:47.080
<v Speaker 3>forty and then the big boy that was right behind

251
00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:50.840
<v Speaker 3>him come out behind him, and it was a very

252
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.679
<v Speaker 3>large male Sasquatch, and it really startled me because of

253
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 3>the size.

254
00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:00.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean he was.

255
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:05.919
<v Speaker 3>He was enormous, I mean two steps across that road

256
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.440
<v Speaker 3>and it was no effort, and he had blood red

257
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:11.960
<v Speaker 3>eyes and they were the size of cubeballs, and he

258
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:13.799
<v Speaker 3>stared right at me, and he was mad.

259
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.639
<v Speaker 2>He was on them natives.

260
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.799
<v Speaker 3>And I think, you know, maybe this is just my opinion,

261
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:24.039
<v Speaker 3>but I've heard that through other tribes that they will

262
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.200
<v Speaker 3>actually come in when they're netting. The locals kind of

263
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.919
<v Speaker 3>know that they're hungry, and so they noted they pull

264
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:31.679
<v Speaker 3>their debts in and leave them some fish and then

265
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.679
<v Speaker 3>give them some space, and they will actually come in

266
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.159
<v Speaker 3>and gather fish. And I think these guys didn't have

267
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.480
<v Speaker 3>any fish to give. And I think it was not

268
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.639
<v Speaker 3>happy because it was right I mean, it was right

269
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:47.720
<v Speaker 3>behind them, and and what you could tell it was

270
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:49.919
<v Speaker 3>it was determined to try to snatch one of them,

271
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:51.600
<v Speaker 3>or try to hit the car or something. And then

272
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:54.240
<v Speaker 3>I startled it, and it was mad at me, and

273
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:55.960
<v Speaker 3>then it went off the road and I kept going.

274
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:01.159
<v Speaker 3>Now that really, you know, I'm scared that living crap out.

275
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.759
<v Speaker 3>I mean, so I floor it. I'm going to try

276
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.120
<v Speaker 3>to catch these guys. Not to say that I'm an

277
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:10.440
<v Speaker 3>habitual speeder, but my little car was a Mercedes. So

278
00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:14.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing one hundred and fifteen to finally catch up

279
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:18.039
<v Speaker 3>to these people. And it's pretty straight and I mean this,

280
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.559
<v Speaker 3>and I'm smelling annie freeze and I'm seeing smoke finally

281
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:23.799
<v Speaker 3>come out. I'm finally catching up to the jetto, which

282
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:25.480
<v Speaker 3>was the last one.

283
00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:28.000
<v Speaker 2>And as I.

284
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Got right up behind it finally and before they turned off,

285
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:32.360
<v Speaker 3>the motor was blown. I mean, the anti freeze was

286
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:35.919
<v Speaker 3>pouring out oil, smoke. I mean, they're and where they

287
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.440
<v Speaker 3>pulled off. I pulled in next to them, and they

288
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.440
<v Speaker 3>just pulled off and then they were kind of halfway

289
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 3>went in the driveway, and I looked at him and

290
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:47.360
<v Speaker 3>I said, are you guys okay? And they just they

291
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:49.759
<v Speaker 3>did not want to talk to me. They were white

292
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.679
<v Speaker 3>as ghosts. They said, get out of here. We don't

293
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what you're talking about. We don't want

294
00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:57.480
<v Speaker 3>to talk to you, don't want to see you, blah

295
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.720
<v Speaker 3>blah blah. But they were you could tell that they

296
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:06.879
<v Speaker 3>were scared, that that encounter that they have was probably scary,

297
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.879
<v Speaker 3>like real scary. And believing the size of that sasquatch

298
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:14.159
<v Speaker 3>and the look he had on his face, you know,

299
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:17.000
<v Speaker 3>I would have been scared too, because it meant business.

300
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:17.360
<v Speaker 2>It was.

301
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:22.039
<v Speaker 3>It was not a happy camper. And so that's uh,

302
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.039
<v Speaker 3>a few of them that I've had, and if you

303
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.279
<v Speaker 3>want me to keep going, I have a couple more,

304
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.399
<v Speaker 3>and that would probably be about it.

305
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I got a few questions that last one. I mean,

306
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:40.360
<v Speaker 1>that's just that's you said, that's just two years ago.

307
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, two years ago.

308
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeh goodness. And and you literally see a huge, angry

309
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:57.440
<v Speaker 1>male sasquatch chasing after these vehicles down down the road.

310
00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:58.399
<v Speaker 1>Holy mackerel.

311
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:01.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and they were and they were netting at that time,

312
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:02.879
<v Speaker 3>in which they usually do.

313
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:09.320
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I mean I was. I was floored by that.

314
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:11.559
<v Speaker 3>And then the funny thing is is I was going

315
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.720
<v Speaker 3>two days later, I was going the other direction through

316
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:17.960
<v Speaker 3>that ass curve and I don't know if it was

317
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.799
<v Speaker 3>maybe it's just me. A bird that normally would not

318
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:28.679
<v Speaker 3>be out at night was thrown at my I mean,

319
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:30.720
<v Speaker 3>it just came out of nowhere and just smacked my

320
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.639
<v Speaker 3>window right smack in the middle of the driver's window,

321
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:35.840
<v Speaker 3>like something was thrown a baseball at me.

322
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:37.240
<v Speaker 2>But it was a bird.

323
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.440
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, whoa, I mean, and I went,

324
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.120
<v Speaker 3>there's no birds out here, you know, because again I

325
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:46.679
<v Speaker 3>was on my way to the casino and I had

326
00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:49.480
<v Speaker 3>a good night the day that I saw the big

327
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:52.200
<v Speaker 3>male Sas squats and I actually think it recognized my car,

328
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:53.919
<v Speaker 3>and I think it chucked the bird at me.

329
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:58.399
<v Speaker 2>I really do, because I hit my so hard.

330
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:00.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it was for me being and it was

331
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:02.399
<v Speaker 3>like it had some philosophy behind it, and there was

332
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:04.920
<v Speaker 3>no way that little brown bird you know you usually

333
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:06.880
<v Speaker 3>see jumping around the bushes, I don't see him fly

334
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.039
<v Speaker 3>that path. So that's just my feelings of it. But yeah,

335
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:12.480
<v Speaker 3>and I kind of went, wow, that's kind of weird.

336
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:14.359
<v Speaker 3>So I started kicking a long way after that for

337
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:15.000
<v Speaker 3>a while.

338
00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

339
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.200
<v Speaker 1>The the Sas question that you saw, you know, running

340
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.319
<v Speaker 1>after these vehicles, and and you'd mentioned that it had

341
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:29.480
<v Speaker 1>blood red eyes. Do you remember any other details of

342
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:33.319
<v Speaker 1>the face of it.

343
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.359
<v Speaker 3>It was it was a not so much of a

344
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:40.920
<v Speaker 3>conical head, but it was it was just massive. I mean,

345
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:45.359
<v Speaker 3>this thing had to be oh, I would say twelve

346
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:50.119
<v Speaker 3>hundred pounds. It was a it was huge. All I

347
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:52.799
<v Speaker 3>know is is that it literally looked like it was walking.

348
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.079
<v Speaker 3>We took three steps to make it cross the road,

349
00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:59.240
<v Speaker 3>and I mean I was like, and then have it.

350
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:00.920
<v Speaker 3>And when it turned around and it looked at me,

351
00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:03.839
<v Speaker 3>it looked at me with hatred anger. You could just

352
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:06.480
<v Speaker 3>see it was. It was pissed. It didn't show any

353
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.920
<v Speaker 3>teeth or anything, but those eyes. I just I remember

354
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:11.680
<v Speaker 3>those eyes. And I could remember that look on his

355
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.880
<v Speaker 3>face of just discussed, like, you know, this guy just

356
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:18.480
<v Speaker 3>spoiled my You know, I'm not eating here today because

357
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:21.079
<v Speaker 3>of these three vehicles he or you know, whatever it

358
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:23.000
<v Speaker 3>took place, you could just tell he was not happy

359
00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:26.759
<v Speaker 3>and so and I remember how big he was because

360
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:28.000
<v Speaker 3>he kind of turned sideways.

361
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:29.160
<v Speaker 2>My god, he was.

362
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:32.480
<v Speaker 3>His chest was you know, the width of his chest

363
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:35.000
<v Speaker 3>was brighter than my car, you know, I mean he

364
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:38.960
<v Speaker 3>was huge. In the legs they were like as big

365
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.720
<v Speaker 3>as telephone bolts. I mean, this thing was absolutely massive,

366
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:47.200
<v Speaker 3>very long, hair, kind of a blackish with a red

367
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:50.960
<v Speaker 3>kind of in it. And yeah, it just, uh, it

368
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:56.480
<v Speaker 3>kind of floored me. And I'm I love Native American descent.

369
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:01.039
<v Speaker 3>O GiB ojibaweh All my mother side didn't find out

370
00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:05.319
<v Speaker 3>after she passed away because of the fishing and the

371
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:08.279
<v Speaker 3>boat decision here in Washington State and where the natives

372
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:11.519
<v Speaker 3>were allowed to net didn't sit well with the locals.

373
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:14.759
<v Speaker 3>So the family members were told not to tell anybody

374
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:19.319
<v Speaker 3>that they were dated just because people would get beat

375
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:23.160
<v Speaker 3>up and you know, stuff would happen. So I didn't

376
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:25.920
<v Speaker 3>even know. That's how well the secret it was kept in,

377
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:31.200
<v Speaker 3>you know. And I've heard that tribes have interactions when

378
00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:35.279
<v Speaker 3>they're netting with Sasquatch, and.

379
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:39.440
<v Speaker 2>I know some are on the.

380
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:41.880
<v Speaker 3>Well west side the coronault in them and they don't

381
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:43.720
<v Speaker 3>get anybody around when they're neddy.

382
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:44.920
<v Speaker 2>They don't let any locals.

383
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:48.200
<v Speaker 3>They don't let any white people because they do they'll

384
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:50.759
<v Speaker 3>come in and start shaking trees and raising the little hell,

385
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:52.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, to bring in a net full of fish.

386
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.880
<v Speaker 2>So that's just one of my you know, my thoughts.

387
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure that one was quite mad, because yeah, I

388
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.799
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't want to run into that one. And there's also

389
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.160
<v Speaker 3>a rumor that says on the five thirty that the

390
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.680
<v Speaker 3>east side of the highway is the devil Squatches side

391
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:15.920
<v Speaker 3>say that there's a if you're picking mushrooms, you don't

392
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:19.480
<v Speaker 3>want to pick on the east side of that road.

393
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:22.640
<v Speaker 3>You want to pick on the west side. If you

394
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:24.799
<v Speaker 3>get in on the east side, something will run you

395
00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:27.680
<v Speaker 3>out of there and it's not very friendly. And so

396
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:31.680
<v Speaker 3>I've always kept heed to that because I picked mushrooms

397
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:35.359
<v Speaker 3>in that area too, And then I'll go to one

398
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:37.119
<v Speaker 3>more in town, and then I'll stay with a couple

399
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:38.480
<v Speaker 3>more for our next one.

400
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:39.160
<v Speaker 2>If you don't.

401
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:42.519
<v Speaker 1>Mind, absolutely go right ahead.

402
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:46.119
<v Speaker 3>Just this year, of course, it's shantrall season and I

403
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:49.880
<v Speaker 3>love chantrell. So we're picking right off the five thirty,

404
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:53.599
<v Speaker 3>just past the Sox throattle tribe, which is you know,

405
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:56.279
<v Speaker 3>I won't get the it's general area, good mushroom picking

406
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.160
<v Speaker 3>all over in there. And so we're picking mushrooms. It's

407
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:02.559
<v Speaker 3>hot out, you know, it's the middle of summer. It's

408
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:05.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, and we can hear the birds and the

409
00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:07.720
<v Speaker 3>squirrels are kind of chirping at us because they're mad

410
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:10.480
<v Speaker 3>because you know, we're picking mushrooms and they like to

411
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:13.200
<v Speaker 3>run you offward thing they do. And we're back in

412
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:17.000
<v Speaker 3>there quiet ways all day to football fields and kind

413
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.039
<v Speaker 3>of dance, you know, the bonding. Maples are kind of

414
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.359
<v Speaker 3>being in pain, and me and my girlfriend at the

415
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:25.680
<v Speaker 3>time just kind of noticed it got silent, and she goes,

416
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:27.799
<v Speaker 3>you know, it just got quiet, and I said, well,

417
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:31.960
<v Speaker 3>you're right kind of you know, feeling like the hair

418
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:35.720
<v Speaker 3>raises up on your neck and you kind of feel uneasy.

419
00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:39.200
<v Speaker 3>I felt uneasy, but I didn't feel fear, you know,

420
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:41.279
<v Speaker 3>I felt like it's time to go.

421
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:41.839
<v Speaker 2>You know.

422
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.160
<v Speaker 3>It's like that feeling where it's time to exit the woods.

423
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.519
<v Speaker 3>Nothing needs to tell you, it's just you know. So

424
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:51.759
<v Speaker 3>we worked our way back out and picking mushrooms all

425
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:54.200
<v Speaker 3>the way out. I had her sit in the car

426
00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:56.039
<v Speaker 3>and I said, hey, I'm going to walk down this

427
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:58.279
<v Speaker 3>little spur road here because I found some really nice

428
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:01.000
<v Speaker 3>ones along behind these really big trees. And these fir

429
00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:03.799
<v Speaker 3>trees are you know, fifty two fifty three inches on

430
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:06.119
<v Speaker 3>the bed, so they're pretty good second growth, you know,

431
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:09.720
<v Speaker 3>they're not an old growth, but big second growth. And

432
00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:12.119
<v Speaker 3>so I'm walking back towards and of course we're on

433
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:14.920
<v Speaker 3>the side on the east side, we're on the west side,

434
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.119
<v Speaker 3>so you know, we're not going to run a devil

435
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:21.079
<v Speaker 3>squatch as they call him, and I just happen to

436
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:24.039
<v Speaker 3>be walking, and just before I get to this real

437
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:28.920
<v Speaker 3>big fur excuse me cough, I happen to see something

438
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:34.680
<v Speaker 3>g listen in the sunlight. And it's probably thirty five

439
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:37.880
<v Speaker 3>feet away from me, and it'll grow stump. It has

440
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.240
<v Speaker 3>some ferns growing out of it. You could see where

441
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.799
<v Speaker 3>they had their springboards in when they cut it back

442
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:46.240
<v Speaker 3>in then it was eighteen sixties or whatever. It's a

443
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:52.640
<v Speaker 3>very large stump and there's a Sasquatch. It's sitting there

444
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.680
<v Speaker 3>with his arms and his face is right on his hands,

445
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:01.000
<v Speaker 3>and he's as tall as the stump is stumps. When

446
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:04.880
<v Speaker 3>I went back and measured, it was just a little

447
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:09.039
<v Speaker 3>under ten foot and so he was sitting there, so

448
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:13.440
<v Speaker 3>he was dark near probably pretty close to eleven and

449
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:15.480
<v Speaker 3>a half feet is when I figured how big he

450
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:19.480
<v Speaker 3>was unless he was standing on something. His head was huge,

451
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:25.759
<v Speaker 3>very ape looking rang a king, but very black, readily skin,

452
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:31.279
<v Speaker 3>very dark, dark black eyes. But that's what that's what

453
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:33.160
<v Speaker 3>made me see him, because I would not have seen

454
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:35.400
<v Speaker 3>him if it wasn't his eyes listened in the sun.

455
00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:39.319
<v Speaker 3>I just happened to step right where the sun reflected

456
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:39.720
<v Speaker 3>off his.

457
00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:41.839
<v Speaker 2>Eyes, and I went, what is that?

458
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:44.519
<v Speaker 3>And then I went as I stared a little bit longer,

459
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.240
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like what And then when you get that

460
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:50.559
<v Speaker 3>moment my cell phones in my back pocket, You think

461
00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:52.160
<v Speaker 3>I would have pulled that out and took a picture.

462
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:52.480
<v Speaker 2>No.

463
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:56.400
<v Speaker 3>I sat there and went, holy cow, that thing is huge.

464
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.920
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't menacing. It never blinked, an eyeball removed and

465
00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:05.240
<v Speaker 3>muscle and I was like, holy cow, that one's big.

466
00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:08.799
<v Speaker 3>And I go, it didn't seem aggressive, but it was

467
00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:12.480
<v Speaker 3>watching me. And so I sat and stared at it

468
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:14.200
<v Speaker 3>and stared at it, and I went, wow, this is

469
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:16.799
<v Speaker 3>really crazy. I'm like within thirty five feet of a

470
00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:21.079
<v Speaker 3>very large sasquatch. I mean, this one, this is real.

471
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.000
<v Speaker 3>This is you know, you're almost like face to face

472
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:26.440
<v Speaker 3>of this thing. And it's like nonchalantly just sitting there

473
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:28.079
<v Speaker 3>with his arms on top of that stump and his

474
00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:29.720
<v Speaker 3>head kind of pushed in through the ferns.

475
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:31.599
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like Jesus.

476
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:34.640
<v Speaker 3>When I didn't know really what to do, because I

477
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:37.839
<v Speaker 3>didn't feel threatened, you know, I kind of had that

478
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:40.680
<v Speaker 3>feeling it was time to leave the woods. So I

479
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:44.119
<v Speaker 3>went ahead and stepped past that fir tree and kind

480
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:46.240
<v Speaker 3>of peeked my head around and see if he's still there.

481
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:51.440
<v Speaker 3>And he was gone, And what really blew me away

482
00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:55.599
<v Speaker 3>is he didn't make one sound. There wasn't a tree break,

483
00:24:55.680 --> 00:25:00.640
<v Speaker 3>there wasn't a crunch, nothing. It was gone and never

484
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:05.759
<v Speaker 3>made a sound. And that floored me. And I literally

485
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:09.480
<v Speaker 3>went and got in the car and started to drive away,

486
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:11.440
<v Speaker 3>and I told my girlfriend about it. She goes, I

487
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:13.960
<v Speaker 3>felt like there was something that was kind of watching

488
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:15.880
<v Speaker 3>us out there for a while. I said, so did I,

489
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:18.880
<v Speaker 3>But I thought maybe it was a cougar or something.

490
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:23.559
<v Speaker 3>And no, it was just a very large sasquatch. Whether

491
00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:27.119
<v Speaker 3>it be female or male, I don't know, but that

492
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:30.640
<v Speaker 3>was that was one that kind of yeah, kind of

493
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.880
<v Speaker 3>the oh wow moment. I'm not in the top of

494
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:34.680
<v Speaker 3>the food chain here.

495
00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:35.240
<v Speaker 2>You know.

496
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:41.319
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't aggressive, but definitely kind of puts you back

497
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.640
<v Speaker 3>when you see something that large that actually lives in

498
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:50.640
<v Speaker 3>the Pacific Northwest and coming from a logging family, this

499
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:57.440
<v Speaker 3>log since the nineteen forties. All my cousins and uncles,

500
00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:00.519
<v Speaker 3>you can ask them about sasquatching. There is the word

501
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.319
<v Speaker 3>that they've never seen one, never seen a footprint, nothing.

502
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.319
<v Speaker 3>And tell you the truth, all the logging jobs I

503
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:09.960
<v Speaker 3>was on, all those years, we would never see a

504
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:15.559
<v Speaker 3>footprint or anything. So that's kind of I'm swear I'm

505
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.319
<v Speaker 3>gonna tie it up right there. That's kind of the

506
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:21.799
<v Speaker 3>meat of the fact. And then I have a few

507
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:24.160
<v Speaker 3>more that's happened here now. That one was just this

508
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:28.079
<v Speaker 3>last summer. Everybody knows, and like I said, the area

509
00:26:28.359 --> 00:26:32.880
<v Speaker 3>is the Cascades, you know, Highway twenty and five thirty,

510
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:34.839
<v Speaker 3>and so those are my.

511
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Close and personal counters up to this point.

512
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:41.039
<v Speaker 3>And then I got a couple more two to share

513
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:44.079
<v Speaker 3>with you, maybe another episode if that works for you.

514
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, I mean, those are some some wild stories, and

515
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:52.960
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for sharing. Johnny. Yeah, I do

516
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:57.079
<v Speaker 1>have to ask you while you're you're here in this one.

517
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:02.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, you've had a few sightings over the years,

518
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:06.759
<v Speaker 1>and you know when when someone is like Johnny, you know,

519
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:11.599
<v Speaker 1>a bigfoot or sasquatch, you know, what is it that

520
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:14.000
<v Speaker 1>we're looking at out there? What is it that you saw?

521
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:16.279
<v Speaker 1>How would you explain it? Is it more of a

522
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:21.160
<v Speaker 1>some kind of ape or maybe some kind of human.

523
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's it's it's kind of a very I

524
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:28.759
<v Speaker 3>call them a North American aide. I mean, they're they're

525
00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:30.960
<v Speaker 3>they're not an eighth. They don't really have an eight.

526
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:35.680
<v Speaker 3>They don't really have a chimpanzeely some have a conical head. Summer,

527
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:39.839
<v Speaker 3>you know, have different things. And then from our from

528
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:44.519
<v Speaker 3>being ojibaway from Upper Wisconsin, you know there's interactions there

529
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:47.000
<v Speaker 3>that you hear through fork you know, folklora, and there's

530
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:51.359
<v Speaker 3>I guess several different species. I'm not an investigator or

531
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:53.519
<v Speaker 3>I don't go out to try to find these. I'm

532
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:58.880
<v Speaker 3>usually out in the woods either cut firewood, hunting, logging,

533
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:03.960
<v Speaker 3>or just minding my own business, picking mushrooms or rock

534
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:06.680
<v Speaker 3>hounting or doing a little gold panning or something.

535
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:09.200
<v Speaker 2>And that's why I live where I live.

536
00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:12.640
<v Speaker 3>There is I can four wheel, I can be a

537
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:15.279
<v Speaker 3>baker or Shannon Lake with my ski boat in forty

538
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.880
<v Speaker 3>five minutes, and I can enjoy the outdoors. I wasn't

539
00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:21.880
<v Speaker 3>expecting to run into any of these or see any

540
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:24.400
<v Speaker 3>of those. And just the last five years has been

541
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:32.559
<v Speaker 3>mind boggling phenomenal. I mean it's left me speechless. I've

542
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:36.160
<v Speaker 3>always been a believer. Of course, the Gimling film, and

543
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:38.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, I always knew there was something out there

544
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:40.200
<v Speaker 3>because I could hear him scream. I've heard a lot

545
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:44.839
<v Speaker 3>of vocals throughout the years and tell you see one,

546
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:49.640
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of really it'll put you back because they

547
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:55.599
<v Speaker 3>are very large, very smart, very intelligent. You know, they

548
00:28:55.640 --> 00:29:00.440
<v Speaker 3>have facial features and from the vocalizations I've heard when

549
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.480
<v Speaker 3>I've I've heard a couple of them getting scolded by

550
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:09.079
<v Speaker 3>one and one that was chasing those two poor natives

551
00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:11.799
<v Speaker 3>or those natives that were netting there. I felt bad

552
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:14.480
<v Speaker 3>for them guys, because the look of fear in their

553
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:19.400
<v Speaker 3>faces was was was some I'll remember for a long time.

554
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:22.799
<v Speaker 3>You just don't know, you don't see that kind of

555
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.720
<v Speaker 3>fear in people. I mean, were they're literally pasting painted

556
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:29.759
<v Speaker 3>white and there they're they're want nothing to do with you.

557
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:32.720
<v Speaker 3>They don't want to even remember what just happened, you know.

558
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:35.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh absolutely, I mean I don't think i'd ever I'd

559
00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:40.279
<v Speaker 1>ever forget something like that if if I was able

560
00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:43.240
<v Speaker 1>to be in a situation like that, either side of it,

561
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:47.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean your side or their side, really, either side

562
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:49.480
<v Speaker 1>has has got to be crazy to be part of.

563
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:53.240
<v Speaker 1>But you know, Johnny, thank you so much for for

564
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:57.200
<v Speaker 1>coming on the show the first time and sharing what

565
00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:01.599
<v Speaker 1>you've experienced. And this is an area of Washington we

566
00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:04.599
<v Speaker 1>don't actually hear a lot of so it's pretty special

567
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:07.000
<v Speaker 1>to to have you on to I think this is

568
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:11.759
<v Speaker 1>our first time maybe even hearing from Marble Mountain. But yeah,

569
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:14.240
<v Speaker 1>thank you, thank you so much. We'll be in touch

570
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:19.119
<v Speaker 1>for sure to have you on again to h to

571
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:23.759
<v Speaker 1>maybe share some more about what you've experienced over the years.

572
00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

573
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:27.599
<v Speaker 3>And then I also have a roommate, unfortunate that passed

574
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:32.000
<v Speaker 3>away here recently of cancer, and he'd had several encounters

575
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:36.519
<v Speaker 3>in that area and in areas of Montana where he

576
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:38.759
<v Speaker 3>worked at and he shared those with me. And you

577
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:43.839
<v Speaker 3>don't find me stories next time. Absolutely, they're pretty wild too.

578
00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:46.880
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, but hey, I appreciate your time Jere in Miami,

579
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:50.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, I really do. And by no means that

580
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:53.720
<v Speaker 3>I ever expect that this happened to me, But you know,

581
00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:59.480
<v Speaker 3>they they are out there, and you know this. When

582
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:01.680
<v Speaker 3>you get that feeling that it's time to leave, it's

583
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:04.960
<v Speaker 3>time to believe. And you know, if you ever come

584
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:07.279
<v Speaker 3>across one, I don't know. I just always kind of

585
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:09.920
<v Speaker 3>just went, oh boy, that one that I got close to,

586
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:13.519
<v Speaker 3>I just kind of slowly moved in my recall, right,

587
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:16.799
<v Speaker 3>and then I didn't go mushroom picking the rest of

588
00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:18.960
<v Speaker 3>the year there, yeah, so.

589
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:23.279
<v Speaker 2>And then and contemplating on maybe not going this next year.

590
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:24.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm kind of thing him, Man, that's a

591
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:26.319
<v Speaker 2>good place, but I don't know if I want to

592
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:26.720
<v Speaker 2>go back.

593
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:28.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah is it that good though?

594
00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:31.279
<v Speaker 2>You know, you never know, but yeah, yeah, right, there's

595
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:32.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot very up there.

596
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah.

597
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:36.119
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, I do appreciate your time to your mind, yes, sir,

598
