Speaker 1: Hey, you there, thanks for tuning in. You're ready for
Speaker 1: another episode of my big foot sighting. All right, then
Speaker 1: let's do this.
Speaker 2: Seen a bunch of rundown no horse towns, where the
Speaker 2: church at the backbone lows and the bow and the
Speaker 2: fasting melodies cove in with the bomb man rose, with
Speaker 2: the roofs run deep beyond the nose of the busy.
Speaker 3: Streets, with the songs.
Speaker 2: Of the South of su Then when I hear the
Speaker 2: promp porch picking down home rhythm bringing out I Don't
Speaker 2: Run from Banjung music.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you've had a bigfoot sighting and would like
Speaker 4: to be a guest, please go to my Bigfoot sighting
Speaker 4: dot com and let me know.
Speaker 5: My big foot sightings started around two thousand and two
Speaker 5: in Davis County, Kentucky.
Speaker 1: My uncle owned.
Speaker 5: Quite a bit of property in an area where there
Speaker 5: was quite a lot of tall hills, deep ravines, and
Speaker 5: it was right an area where that met into the
Speaker 5: river bottoms near the Ohio River, so lots of game,
Speaker 5: lots of dense woods.
Speaker 1: My uncle was.
Speaker 5: Clearing out a treeline in a field and some of
Speaker 5: the property right at the edge of the hills, right
Speaker 5: off of the river, bottoms, and he had asked me
Speaker 5: to come help him, and so my job was to
Speaker 5: drive a small tractor with a blade on it, and
Speaker 5: he would knock down the trees with a dozer and
Speaker 5: scrape them away, and then I would come through with
Speaker 5: the blade and pick up the roots and stuff.
Speaker 1: And get them out of the way, and rent and repeat.
Speaker 5: So while I was waiting for him to do his part,
Speaker 5: I was sitting in the middle of the field, and
Speaker 5: I was sitting on the little tractor, had it shut off,
Speaker 5: and my uncle's using a very very large bulldozer. He's
Speaker 5: got it running full blast. And from behind me there's
Speaker 5: a ravine that led up into the hills, and there
Speaker 5: was an old, abandoned barn just inside the woodline.
Speaker 1: At the mouth of this ravine.
Speaker 5: And while I was watching my uncle, at one point
Speaker 5: I just heard the loudest roaring scream I had ever heard,
Speaker 5: and heard it plain as day over the sound of
Speaker 5: this bulldozer running full blast, and of course made the
Speaker 5: hair stand up on the back of my neck and
Speaker 5: gave me chills. And I turned to look because the
Speaker 5: roar had seemed to have come from that ravine out
Speaker 5: behind the barn. And when I turned to look. I
Speaker 5: happened to notice what looked to be I seen deer, rabbits,
Speaker 5: and raccoons, any animals that were up in that area
Speaker 5: were fleeing extremely fast, and I thought, Okay, that's kind
Speaker 5: of weird, and of course didn't think much else of it,
Speaker 5: and then went back to watching my uncle. About probably
Speaker 5: ten minutes later, the hair on the back of my
Speaker 5: neck stood up again, and I turned to look, and
Speaker 5: I could just make out one of the door openings
Speaker 5: of the barn, just inside the tree line, and there
Speaker 5: was something there and I could see it. It was
Speaker 5: leaning out, it was looking right at me, and he
Speaker 5: had his arm out reached up and wrapped around the
Speaker 5: beam at the top of the doorway to the barn.
Speaker 5: And I kind of had an idea what I was
Speaker 5: looking at, but still wasn't sure. I'd watched I think
Speaker 5: this was around the time that Monster Quest had started
Speaker 5: coming out on Discovery, so I'd been watching it a lot.
Speaker 6: And.
Speaker 5: I didn't think this shouldn't be happening. These things aren't here.
Speaker 5: This is Kentucky either, and those things are in the
Speaker 5: Pacific Northwest. But here was and it was looking at me,
Speaker 5: and it was there for fifteen twenty minutes, maybe just watching,
Speaker 5: and every now and then i'd turn and look at
Speaker 5: it again and it would still be there, and I
Speaker 5: could see it lean out to get a better look,
Speaker 5: and go back in and hide a little, and eventually
Speaker 5: I just went back to watching my uncle again and
Speaker 5: it finally left.
Speaker 1: I didn't tell anybody about it.
Speaker 5: I did go back a few days later and went
Speaker 5: up to the barn, and its was right at the
Speaker 5: top of the doorway opening to the barn, and I
Speaker 5: could and I remember its arm being up and wrapped
Speaker 5: around it kind of steady in itself. And when I
Speaker 5: went to check the barn height just to try and
Speaker 5: figure out how big this thing was, I'm six foot
Speaker 5: three and on my tiptoes, I could barely barely touch
Speaker 5: the beam running across the door opening to the barn.
Speaker 5: So this thing had to have been eight to eight
Speaker 5: and a half feet tall at least, And so I thought,
Speaker 5: maybe it's a one off thing. Maybe it didn't, you know,
Speaker 5: I didn't think much of it after that. I mean,
Speaker 5: it kind of freaked me out a little bit, and
Speaker 5: I just kind of forgot about it for a while.
Speaker 5: Then around two thousand and seven, me and a close
Speaker 5: friend of mine were there at this back at the
Speaker 5: same place. My uncle also ran a construction business, and
Speaker 5: so he would haul dirt out of these hills to
Speaker 5: using various projects in the area. So he would dig
Speaker 5: down so far and he would always hit shale or something.
Speaker 5: So me and my buddy went up to the upper
Speaker 5: areas of the property, near the back end, where it
Speaker 5: was right into the edge of the woods, digging through
Speaker 5: the shell piles looking for fossils and stuff, and we
Speaker 5: were throwing stuff over the edge down into a ravine
Speaker 5: off the side. And then it was we'd been there
Speaker 5: most of the day and about the sun was starting
Speaker 5: to set, and my buddy said, al He said, what
Speaker 5: did you do that for? He said what?
Speaker 1: He said, why?
Speaker 5: Why'd you throw a rock at me? He said, I
Speaker 5: didn't do nothing. I said, I didn't throw nothing. And
Speaker 5: about that time I got hit in the head with
Speaker 5: one and they said we'd been throwing these pieces of
Speaker 5: slate over the side down into this ravine, and so
Speaker 5: we noticed they were getting thrown back at us.
Speaker 1: And so.
Speaker 5: We decided it was time to leave. And it was
Speaker 5: about a two to three hundred yard walk back down
Speaker 5: to my truck, and once we got back out of
Speaker 5: the hills and down along the gravel road that ran
Speaker 5: up through there, there was probably a probably a five
Speaker 5: or six foot deep ditch next to the road, and
Speaker 5: it had cane and reeds and stuff growing up through
Speaker 5: it that you couldn't see anything down in the creek
Speaker 5: or anything like that. And so we were walking and
Speaker 5: then we realized we were hearing footsteps in the ditch
Speaker 5: next to us, So we start moving a little quicker,
Speaker 5: and we realized it's pacing us, so we would stop,
Speaker 5: it would stop. We would take a few steps, it
Speaker 5: would take a few steps, and finally we got to
Speaker 5: where we could see my tre truck, and we were
Speaker 5: maybe fifty yards away from it. We took off at
Speaker 5: a dead run got to my truck. We're of course
Speaker 5: freaking out at this point, and I'm trying to find
Speaker 5: my keys and I'm setting on them, and I get
Speaker 5: them in the ignition, turn it on, I throw my
Speaker 5: high beams on because it was pretty it was starting
Speaker 5: to get dark at this point, and my truck was
Speaker 5: parked on a culvert where this ditch ran through it.
Speaker 1: So as soon as I kicked.
Speaker 5: My high beings on, this thing came out of behind
Speaker 5: the reeds, out of the ditch, ran straight out in
Speaker 5: front of my truck, and then took off straight up
Speaker 5: the side of a very steep hillside quicker. And I'd
Speaker 5: seen anything move like that, especially something that big. And
Speaker 5: it had to be the same one that i'd seen,
Speaker 5: you know, a few years earlier in the barn.
Speaker 1: It had a little more gray on it.
Speaker 5: The one in the barn was more black, but I
Speaker 5: could tell it had this sort of a grayish tint
Speaker 5: to it. I was probably I think I was probably
Speaker 5: fifty or sixty yards away from that one in the barn.
Speaker 5: But this one, this time, it was right in front
Speaker 5: of my truck. I got a good look at it.
Speaker 5: It was shaggy looking but clean, and it had a
Speaker 5: little more gray in it than when i'd seen it before.
Speaker 5: And it didn't turn to look at us, but it
Speaker 5: took off the muscles in the arms and the legs, and.
Speaker 1: I mean, this thing was just built.
Speaker 5: And the way it moved, I can't even explain how
Speaker 5: it moved as fast as it did. So we got
Speaker 5: out of there, and I'm pretty sure I almost broke
Speaker 5: an axle getting over the railroad tracks to get out
Speaker 5: of my uncle's farm. Another event I remember, my cousin
Speaker 5: and I we had built a fort up on top
Speaker 5: of one of these ridges, actually fairly close to my house.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 5: My uncle's property where the first two sightings happened was
Speaker 5: about three miles from where I lived, and so we
Speaker 5: also lived down into the bottoms, and so my cousin's
Speaker 5: my cousin was next door, and they were up on
Speaker 5: other ridges, and so we had built a pretty large
Speaker 5: tree fort up on top of this ridge with two
Speaker 5: with a ravine on either side of it. And so
Speaker 5: one night we decided, once we had finished it, we
Speaker 5: were going to camp out there and stay out there
Speaker 5: all night.
Speaker 1: We built a fire, and.
Speaker 5: Probably it was probably getting close to midnight, and we
Speaker 5: were middle schoolers, so we were telling jokes and cracking
Speaker 5: each other up, and at one point my cousin said
Speaker 5: something funny to me, and I laughed real hard, and
Speaker 5: from down at the bottom of the hill right below us,
Speaker 5: we heard the loudest solid whistle either of us had
Speaker 5: ever heard our entire lives. It you could I've never
Speaker 5: felt a whistle in my chest before.
Speaker 1: It was that loud. It had power to it, and.
Speaker 5: At first we thought it was his dad messing with us,
Speaker 5: and then we went to check and he was actually
Speaker 5: was in bed to sleep, and at that point we
Speaker 5: were a little friked out, so we didn't go back
Speaker 5: out there for the rest of the night. Didn't know
Speaker 5: what it could have been at the time. I think
Speaker 5: that was actually before my first sighting on the tractor,
Speaker 5: But as I've learned more and more over the years,
Speaker 5: I've gone back and I've actually talked to my cousin
Speaker 5: about it, and we agree that it may have possibly
Speaker 5: been one of these creatures. Now, over the years, I've
Speaker 5: had lots of times where I've been out in the
Speaker 5: woods in that same area and I've had rocks thrown
Speaker 5: at me, I've found tepee structures, I've had more whistles,
Speaker 5: And the weirdest was a really weird, high pitched chittering
Speaker 5: noise that I thought it might have been a squirrel
Speaker 5: at first, but then the more I listened to it,
Speaker 5: it sounded like monkey gibberish almost, and it was like
Speaker 5: bouncing back and forth from like one side of the
Speaker 5: woods to the other. And I was out of the
Speaker 5: woods at that point when I started hearing it, and
Speaker 5: I just got out of there.
Speaker 1: At that point.
Speaker 5: Now my uncle's property where it's located. Let's say this.
Speaker 5: Once I had started researching the topic more, I had
Speaker 5: people found out that I did research this, and they
Speaker 5: started contacting me with their stories. And I had one
Speaker 5: gentleman call me who was a hunter, and he had
Speaker 5: told me that he had been having issues with something
Speaker 5: stealing his deer and he had a stand set up
Speaker 5: on one of these high ridges. And what he explained
Speaker 5: it to me was he would set up early in
Speaker 5: the morning, he would get a good deer would come out,
Speaker 5: he would shoot him. The deer would go down, and
Speaker 5: he said, no, sooner than he could climb out of
Speaker 5: his stand. He said, this big hairy creature on two
Speaker 5: legs would run out, grab the deer, throw it over
Speaker 5: its shoulders, and run back off into the woods with it.
Speaker 5: And he said it happened to him three times. And
Speaker 5: I asked him too, I said, well, why did you
Speaker 5: not take a shot at it? He said, well, looked
Speaker 5: too human. And I asked him, okay, so where was
Speaker 5: this located at? And he said the name of the
Speaker 5: hill where he had his stand on was named Honda Hill. Okay, well,
Speaker 5: I have to research this well. That evening I asked
Speaker 5: my dad, I said, Dad, have you ever heard of
Speaker 5: a place named Honda Hill? And he goes, yeah, that's
Speaker 5: the property right next to your uncles. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, well, that explains a whole lot. Then
Speaker 5: there was another woman that reached out to me and
Speaker 5: talked about how back in the mid seventies, her and
Speaker 5: her sister lived in a house down in the bottoms
Speaker 5: in that area, and I think her sister had gotten
Speaker 5: up to get a drink of water in the middle
Speaker 5: of the night one time, and she said she just
Speaker 5: started screaming, bloody murder. She ran down to see what
Speaker 5: it was, and there at the kitchen sink window was
Speaker 5: this pair of big red eyes and a hairy face
Speaker 5: attached to him, just staring in the window at him.
Speaker 5: And I think what freaked him out more was the
Speaker 5: fact that the window, they said, was about ten feet
Speaker 5: off the ground. They said the screaming, I guess startled
Speaker 5: it and it took off running, they said, back towards
Speaker 5: the hills. And then I got more info out of them.
Speaker 5: The house they lived in was about a quarter a
Speaker 5: mile away from my uncle's property.
Speaker 1: So the area.
Speaker 5: Had quite a bit of activity over the years, all
Speaker 5: the way back into the seventies.
Speaker 1: I also.
Speaker 5: Am not too far from Spotsvield, Kentucky, where of course
Speaker 5: they had those Spotsfield Monster stuff happened back in the
Speaker 5: seventies as well. So the whole region has just covered
Speaker 5: with activity all the time. It seems even now I'm
Speaker 5: living on the opposite end of the county. There's more
Speaker 5: hills out on this end. Not hardly any bottoms anywhere.
Speaker 5: There's few creek bottoms, but lots of woods, lots of hills,
Speaker 5: cattle farms like that.
Speaker 1: Every year, it seems like around.
Speaker 5: Late fall, early winter, we can set out on the
Speaker 5: porch and we listen, and we can listen for the coyotes.
Speaker 5: The coyotes will always start up, but then you'll always
Speaker 5: hear something else howling with them.
Speaker 1: That just sounds a little off.
Speaker 5: And I mean, to me, that's just that just sells
Speaker 5: it for me, that yep, they're they're out there. There's
Speaker 5: one of them right there, and we hear it all
Speaker 5: the time. And I've even gotten my wife to set
Speaker 5: out and listen to it, and she's even agreed with
Speaker 5: me that no, that's that's not a cody.
Speaker 1: Whatever that is.
Speaker 5: It's it's howling with the coyotes, but it is not
Speaker 5: a cody. You can just hear it. There's a lot
Speaker 5: more force in it, and it it almost drowns them
Speaker 5: out sometimes. Now more recently, around eight to ten months ago,
Speaker 5: me and a good friend of mine went out to
Speaker 5: go drive the bottoms. You know, he had taken an
Speaker 5: interest in going out, and you know, let's go hunt
Speaker 5: for Bigfoot. You know, we'll go drive the river bottoms
Speaker 5: and the back roads and see if we see anything.
Speaker 5: And we went down in the areas between where I'd
Speaker 5: had my original sightings and where all the Spotsville stuff
Speaker 5: had happened back in the seventies.
Speaker 1: So we were it was a.
Speaker 5: Lot of open farmland and just a lot of open
Speaker 5: flat area with little, little, sparse areas of trees kind
Speaker 5: of thrown in. And as we were coming around and
Speaker 5: the gravel road was turning back into pavement, I happened
Speaker 5: to see a bright yellow pair of eyes that looked
Speaker 5: like they were eight to ten feet up in a
Speaker 5: tree that we were heading straight towards. I got my
Speaker 5: buddy to look because he was watching out the side
Speaker 5: of the truck with my night vision goggles, and as
Speaker 5: soon as he turned to look, the eyes closed. But
Speaker 5: the tree they were in, this was probably a forty
Speaker 5: to fifty foot tall tree, and the whole tree just
Speaker 5: shook violently, and trying to get my phone up, got
Speaker 5: the video up, and I think I maybe recorded just
Speaker 5: the last little bit of the tree shaking, and then
Speaker 5: it just took off and was gone, and so were
Speaker 5: we it we you know, we wanted to see one,
Speaker 5: but we didn't want to get quite that close because
Speaker 5: we were probably fifteen yards away from it when the
Speaker 5: when the whole tree started shaking back and forth.
Speaker 1: Another time, at my.
Speaker 5: Uncle's place, he had and he had a couple of
Speaker 5: lakes there we could fish in a lot.
Speaker 6: And.
Speaker 5: I would go there fishing quite a bit, even before
Speaker 5: I had my driver's license. I would walk the three
Speaker 5: miles from my house to my uncle's place just to
Speaker 5: go fishing. And I went there one day, and this
Speaker 5: was after my initial sighting, but before me and my
Speaker 5: friend had went there, So two thousand and four or five,
Speaker 5: and I got there to go fishing, and was a
Speaker 5: little later in the day, probably probably around five o'clock
Speaker 5: or so. It might have been a after school thing.
Speaker 5: And I got there and you have to walk The
Speaker 5: lake level was above the regular ground level. They had
Speaker 5: built a big dam to build this lake, and so
Speaker 5: I had to walk up the dam to get up
Speaker 5: to the lake to fish. Well, I walk up and
Speaker 5: nothing seems off at first, and I'm just kind of
Speaker 5: looking around, trying to figure out which part of the
Speaker 5: lake I want to go to and try and see
Speaker 5: if I can catch anything. And then I noticed down
Speaker 5: at the very far end of it, where it's real shallow,
Speaker 5: what looks like a giant tree stump just sticking up
Speaker 5: out of the water that was not there like two
Speaker 5: or three days earlier when I was there fishing, and
Speaker 5: I'm trying to figure out what it was, and it
Speaker 5: starts moving and I figured out it was another bigfoot,
Speaker 5: and it was setting down in the water, and I
Speaker 5: watched it because it hadn't seen me yet, and it
Speaker 5: was sitting there, and all of a sudden, I see
Speaker 5: one of its arms moves real quick under the water
Speaker 5: and it comes up and it's got a fish and
Speaker 5: it throws it up on the bank, and.
Speaker 1: I was just dumbfounded.
Speaker 5: I was just watching this and I guess it finally
Speaker 5: realized I was there, saw me, and slowly, like it
Speaker 5: so slowly got up out of the water, and it
Speaker 5: was such a smooth, fluid movement, it was like it
Speaker 5: almost didn't.
Speaker 1: Even ripple the water when it got out.
Speaker 5: And it got out, it grabbed the fish that I
Speaker 5: had seen it throw, and I guess there was a
Speaker 5: one or two more there, and it just scooped them
Speaker 5: up in one fluid motion and then took off down
Speaker 5: the other side of the dam, but down into the woods.
Speaker 5: And I still think it was the same one because
Speaker 5: it had that real black look to it, but with
Speaker 5: the little bit of the grayish tint. And that pretty
Speaker 5: much brings us up to date with where I am now.
Speaker 6: My big foots happened in nineteen ninety four, about ten
Speaker 6: miles south of Samson, Alabama, when I was sixteen years old.
Speaker 6: My stepdad and my uncle would take me hunting in
Speaker 6: a particular set of woods there close to the Florida line,
Speaker 6: just north of the Pea River in Alabama. And I
Speaker 6: didn't get to hunt much during the football season because
Speaker 6: I played football, so I just I waited until season
Speaker 6: was over, and then then I would go into woods
Speaker 6: with them and we would do our thing, and when
Speaker 6: I went in to woods for the first time that
Speaker 6: that year, I noticed my tree stand was off the
Speaker 6: tree and was laying down beside it. We had a
Speaker 6: tropical storm that year, and we naturally thought I'd just
Speaker 6: been blown off during the tropical storm, in which it
Speaker 6: very well could have. But we were very you know,
Speaker 6: we didn't have a lot of money, and my stepdad
Speaker 6: and uncle were carpenters by trade, so we built our
Speaker 6: own ladder stands to lean up against the tree. Well,
Speaker 6: since my tree, my tree stand was down on the ground,
Speaker 6: I looked around and there just happened to be a
Speaker 6: holly tree that was laid over against a big white
Speaker 6: oak tree, and I thought it was a perfect blind,
Speaker 6: you know, And so I just sat up underneath it
Speaker 6: for a couple of weeks until I could build my
Speaker 6: own stand. And in that time I killed two deer
Speaker 6: out from underneath that that blind and really didn't think
Speaker 6: anything of it because it was just natural. Was like, hey,
Speaker 6: it's natural cover. It was wonderful. So we started noticing
Speaker 6: things we would hear in We would hear huffs, you know,
Speaker 6: real aggressive guttural just like a deer blowing. But it
Speaker 6: had more base to it, and it sounded angry, and
Speaker 6: we just kind of blew it off, you know, and
Speaker 6: kept walking in and we found a couple of footprints
Speaker 6: and they looked like bare human footprints. And in that
Speaker 6: part of the woods and the swamp and wetlands, we
Speaker 6: were is no person should be back their barefoot. We
Speaker 6: didn't think anybody would be back to their barefoot. And
Speaker 6: whenever we saw them, naturally, my stepdad and my uncle,
Speaker 6: they're practical guys. They're very practical, and it's just they
Speaker 6: seem to not believe in bigfoot. They seem to not
Speaker 6: think anything of the such, or that's the way they
Speaker 6: portrayed it to me. So they just they just looked
Speaker 6: over it. They forgot about it and kept walking. We
Speaker 6: found a couple of deer, you know, a few weeks
Speaker 6: later on into November and the first part of December,
Speaker 6: you know, we found two dead deer a few weeks apart,
Speaker 6: not at the same time, but one of them was
Speaker 6: mangled pretty badly, and it was it was killed. I
Speaker 6: couldn't understand or explain how it was killed, but it
Speaker 6: looked like it was ripped, like instead of a bite
Speaker 6: on its neck, you know, like a predator would do
Speaker 6: to kill it and then eat at it. It looked
Speaker 6: like it was ripped open in the hind quarters the legs.
Speaker 6: One of the legs was taken and twisted like it
Speaker 6: was trying to twist it off, like something had tried
Speaker 6: to take it and just wring it and twist it
Speaker 6: off to tear the flesh to get it off. Most
Speaker 6: of the deer was there except for the organs. The
Speaker 6: organs were all gone. All the soft tissue was gone
Speaker 6: out of the body. Well. They attributed that to maybe
Speaker 6: there was a big cat in the area, or maybe
Speaker 6: there was a bear we didn't know about. That's why
Speaker 6: they told me big cat or bear. I had never
Speaker 6: seen any big cat paws there. I knew there were
Speaker 6: big cats in the areas. I had seen them, but
Speaker 6: they were it was further north north of Sampson. But
Speaker 6: in December, it was a few weeks before my seventeenth birthday.
Speaker 6: Late in the evening we would go early in the mornings,
Speaker 6: you know, before sunrise. We would hunt until about ten o'clock,
Speaker 6: come out, go home, get us somebody to eat, go
Speaker 6: back in the woods around one or two, and then
Speaker 6: come out at dark. That was our routine every time
Speaker 6: we went in. Well, one day the afternoon we went
Speaker 6: in late in the evening. I was up in the
Speaker 6: tree and I'd fallen asleep, like I had done many times,
Speaker 6: because it was just it was a comfortable day. It
Speaker 6: was a little warm. It wasn't too cold for us.
Speaker 6: I mean it was kind of warm, so I was
Speaker 6: just comfortable. It wasn't it wasn't uncomfortable, if that makes sense.
Speaker 6: I was just sitting there, swaying with the wind back
Speaker 6: and forth, and brought myself to sleep. And I don't
Speaker 6: know how long I was asleep, but something startled me
Speaker 6: and it was just a snap, just allowed to break,
Speaker 6: like something was coming through the reeds. And when I
Speaker 6: woke up, it was staring at me. It was about
Speaker 6: about seven seven to ten foot, it was in that range.
Speaker 6: It was really tall. I was looking down at it
Speaker 6: from about fifteen feet in the air and it was
Speaker 6: still tall, and he was just looking at me. He
Speaker 6: was about forty yards away, just staring at me. Dark,
Speaker 6: really dark colored. He was like a dark oak tree,
Speaker 6: like a muddy oak tree, that kind of dark fur
Speaker 6: was kind of looked kind of wet and matted pronounced
Speaker 6: brow with a little. The eyes were a little sunken,
Speaker 6: not too much, but it had a wide, flat nose.
Speaker 6: The body was kind of square is wide at the shoulders,
Speaker 6: but it came it tapered in toward the waist, but
Speaker 6: it didn't come in so much that it looked like
Speaker 6: a v but it didn't narrow. And I just remember
Speaker 6: being scared. That's all I could think of was how
Speaker 6: frightening it was. Really scared the crap out of me.
Speaker 6: So the only thing I could think of was it
Speaker 6: is either him or me, And I thought that I
Speaker 6: really thought he was coming to attack me. So I
Speaker 6: picked my rifle up and I pointed it at him.
Speaker 6: I aimed for the first shot, and I know I
Speaker 6: hit him in the center mass, and after that the
Speaker 6: other five shots, I just kind of cycled my rifle
Speaker 6: and pulled the trigger five more shots. When the shots.
Speaker 6: When the sound of the shots subsided, it led out
Speaker 6: the loudest howl I had ever heard. To me, it
Speaker 6: sounded like a cross between a banshee and a dinosaur.
Speaker 6: And later on I heard somebody describe another howl they
Speaker 6: had heard. They said it sounded like he had two
Speaker 6: vocal chords, and it reminded me that's exactly what mine
Speaker 6: sounded like, because it was it had like the roar
Speaker 6: of a dinosaur, but the squeal and screech of a banshee.
Speaker 6: So whenever he started this howl this scream, I covered
Speaker 6: my ears and closed my eyes and put my head
Speaker 6: down and thought, oh my god, he's gonna kill me.
Speaker 6: And when the howl stopped, I opened my eyes and
Speaker 6: he was I saw just the back of him as
Speaker 6: he was running off into the bushes. He ran off
Speaker 6: into the tree line to my left toward the river,
Speaker 6: and kept running. My stepdad and my uncle showed up
Speaker 6: probably about ten minutes later, because whenever we any of
Speaker 6: us would shoot something, we would wait about ten to
Speaker 6: fifteen minutes before we would get down out of our
Speaker 6: stands and meet up to try to track whatever we
Speaker 6: had shot, or to pick up and drag out whatever
Speaker 6: the other had shot. Well, they showed up to me
Speaker 6: and they said, well, where is it? What'd you shoot?
Speaker 6: And I told him I just shot a big foot
Speaker 6: and they laughed. They just laughed. They shook their head
Speaker 6: and laughed, and I asked, did you not hear him scream?
Speaker 6: And they thought it was me yelling for them. Somehow,
Speaker 6: this giant creature sounded like a sixteen year old kid
Speaker 6: yelling to them. Well, I took him to where he
Speaker 6: was standing when I shot. We found the footprints and
Speaker 6: we found blood. It wasn't a lot of blood. It
Speaker 6: wasn't pulled up. It was just spots of blood periodically,
Speaker 6: like if he would he would have just nicked a
Speaker 6: deer and a ran off. As it was, just we
Speaker 6: found a few spots here and there, and we followed them.
Speaker 6: We tracked them, tracked the blood to the river, which
Speaker 6: was about a quarter of a mile away through the woods.
Speaker 6: You know, we had to go into and out of
Speaker 6: slews across them. You know, it's just it's just a
Speaker 6: swampy area. So it's about the way we had to
Speaker 6: take to follow the blood. For us, it was about
Speaker 6: a quarter of a mile and whenever we come out
Speaker 6: of the tree line on the river bank, there was
Speaker 6: a few tracks in the sand going into the water,
Speaker 6: and then no more tracks. They were gone. Now I
Speaker 6: don't know if he somehow went up the other side
Speaker 6: of the river. I don't know if he went upriver
Speaker 6: or downriver, because he was nowhere to be found by
Speaker 6: the time we got to him. So after that, I
Speaker 6: would try to talk to him about it periodically and
Speaker 6: they would just chuck on and shake their head. And
Speaker 6: it always bothered me as why they would never acknowledge it,
Speaker 6: Like I don't know if they thought I couldn't handle
Speaker 6: the truth, or if they thought maybe I had accidentally
Speaker 6: shot just a very tall man and it had scared me.
Speaker 6: But it's small of a town as Samson is. We
Speaker 6: knew everybody, and in that area, we know everybody. And
Speaker 6: if there's an eight foot man in Geneva County, we
Speaker 6: would know about it because he would have played basketball.
Speaker 6: That's just how small those communities are. And I never
Speaker 6: heard anyone else talk about it. I've asked other members
Speaker 6: of the family and it was never mentioned to them.
Speaker 6: So that's how I got started into this, and I
Speaker 6: held on to that story for thirty years. I haven't
Speaker 6: told a lot of people about it. I wrote it
Speaker 6: down after it happened so I could keep that memory
Speaker 6: and remember it. But I didn't need to because it's
Speaker 6: ingrained in me. I can still see it happen, and
Speaker 6: I mean sometimes I can still I can still feel
Speaker 6: the reverse erration in my chest from the how it
Speaker 6: is how loud it was, and it shakes you. And
Speaker 6: when you see something like that and you hear something
Speaker 6: like that, you never forget it. And that is actually
Speaker 6: what started me on my quest would pop a Squatch
Speaker 6: Productions and pop a Squatch Outfitters. I wanted to be
Speaker 6: able to go out and look and try to find
Speaker 6: and go out and just find the truth. Now I
Speaker 6: just want knowledge. I go now out and look, and
Speaker 6: with Papa Squatch Outfitters, you know, whenever we go out
Speaker 6: and we do our podcasts on YouTube and stuff, I
Speaker 6: don't take any weapons with me anymore other than knife.
Speaker 6: And that's it. It's like, I just want the knowledge.
Speaker 6: So we have pop A Squatch Productions on YouTube, Facebook,
Speaker 6: on Instagram, we are Instapop Pap and we are on
Speaker 6: TikTok and that's all I got.
