He's 37 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:22.280 got it running full blast. And from behind me there's 38 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:26.479 a ravine that led up into the hills, and there 39 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:30.680 was an old, abandoned barn just inside the woodline. 40 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.240 At the mouth of this ravine. 41 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.919 And while I was watching my uncle, at one point 42 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.719 I just heard the loudest roaring scream I had ever heard, 43 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.240 and heard it plain as day over the sound of 44 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:51.319 this bulldozer running full blast, and of course made the 45 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.120 hair stand up on the back of my neck and 46 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:59.319 gave me chills. And I turned to look because the 47 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.639 roar had seemed to have come from that ravine out 48 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:06.360 behind the barn. And when I turned to look. I 49 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.479 happened to notice what looked to be I seen deer, rabbits, 50 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.680 and raccoons, any animals that were up in that area 51 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:20.280 were fleeing extremely fast, and I thought, Okay, that's kind 52 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:24.080 of weird, and of course didn't think much else of it, 53 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:29.000 and then went back to watching my uncle. About probably 54 00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.919 ten minutes later, the hair on the back of my 55 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.000 neck stood up again, and I turned to look, and 56 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.400 I could just make out one of the door openings 57 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.840 of the barn, just inside the tree line, and there 58 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.400 was something there and I could see it. It was 59 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.719 leaning out, it was looking right at me, and he 60 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.919 had his arm out reached up and wrapped around the 61 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.280 beam at the top of the doorway to the barn. 62 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:03.120 And I kind of had an idea what I was 63 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:07.840 looking at, but still wasn't sure. I'd watched I think 64 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.439 this was around the time that Monster Quest had started 65 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.400 coming out on Discovery, so I'd been watching it a lot. 66 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:13.400 And. 67 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.879 I didn't think this shouldn't be happening. These things aren't here. 68 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.439 This is Kentucky either, and those things are in the 69 00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:27.399 Pacific Northwest. But here was and it was looking at me, 70 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:33.399 and it was there for fifteen twenty minutes, maybe just watching, 71 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.560 and every now and then i'd turn and look at 72 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.480 it again and it would still be there, and I 73 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.839 could see it lean out to get a better look, 74 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.560 and go back in and hide a little, and eventually 75 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.279 I just went back to watching my uncle again and 76 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:48.639 it finally left. 77 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.120 I didn't tell anybody about it. 78 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.800 I did go back a few days later and went 79 00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:02.399 up to the barn, and its was right at the 80 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.480 top of the doorway opening to the barn, and I 81 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.519 could and I remember its arm being up and wrapped 82 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:13.360 around it kind of steady in itself. And when I 83 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.240 went to check the barn height just to try and 84 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.240 figure out how big this thing was, I'm six foot 85 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:23.959 three and on my tiptoes, I could barely barely touch 86 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.680 the beam running across the door opening to the barn. 87 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.040 So this thing had to have been eight to eight 88 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:36.120 and a half feet tall at least, And so I thought, 89 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:40.720 maybe it's a one off thing. Maybe it didn't, you know, 90 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.360 I didn't think much of it after that. I mean, 91 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:48.920 it kind of freaked me out a little bit, and 92 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:50.720 I just kind of forgot about it for a while. 93 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:57.319 Then around two thousand and seven, me and a close 94 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:01.680 friend of mine were there at this back at the 95 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:06.000 same place. My uncle also ran a construction business, and 96 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.959 so he would haul dirt out of these hills to 97 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:14.879 using various projects in the area. So he would dig 98 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.519 down so far and he would always hit shale or something. 99 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.600 So me and my buddy went up to the upper 100 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:24.160 areas of the property, near the back end, where it 101 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.920 was right into the edge of the woods, digging through 102 00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.319 the shell piles looking for fossils and stuff, and we 103 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.800 were throwing stuff over the edge down into a ravine 104 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.240 off the side. And then it was we'd been there 105 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.839 most of the day and about the sun was starting 106 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.199 to set, and my buddy said, al He said, what 107 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.199 did you do that for? He said what? 108 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:46.560 He said, why? 109 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:48.519 Why'd you throw a rock at me? He said, I 110 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:50.839 didn't do nothing. I said, I didn't throw nothing. And 111 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:52.800 about that time I got hit in the head with 112 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:57.000 one and they said we'd been throwing these pieces of 113 00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.120 slate over the side down into this ravine, and so 114 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.560 we noticed they were getting thrown back at us. 115 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:04.279 And so. 116 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:10.199 We decided it was time to leave. And it was 117 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.800 about a two to three hundred yard walk back down 118 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:17.879 to my truck, and once we got back out of 119 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.279 the hills and down along the gravel road that ran 120 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:25.800 up through there, there was probably a probably a five 121 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.240 or six foot deep ditch next to the road, and 122 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.360 it had cane and reeds and stuff growing up through 123 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.720 it that you couldn't see anything down in the creek 124 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.199 or anything like that. And so we were walking and 125 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.560 then we realized we were hearing footsteps in the ditch 126 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:48.519 next to us, So we start moving a little quicker, 127 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.720 and we realized it's pacing us, so we would stop, 128 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.000 it would stop. We would take a few steps, it 129 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.720 would take a few steps, and finally we got to 130 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:00.800 where we could see my tre truck, and we were 131 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.199 maybe fifty yards away from it. We took off at 132 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:06.959 a dead run got to my truck. We're of course 133 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.399 freaking out at this point, and I'm trying to find 134 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.160 my keys and I'm setting on them, and I get 135 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.920 them in the ignition, turn it on, I throw my 136 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.959 high beams on because it was pretty it was starting 137 00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:23.639 to get dark at this point, and my truck was 138 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:27.040 parked on a culvert where this ditch ran through it. 139 00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:29.959 So as soon as I kicked. 140 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:34.240 My high beings on, this thing came out of behind 141 00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.879 the reeds, out of the ditch, ran straight out in 142 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.200 front of my truck, and then took off straight up 143 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:44.320 the side of a very steep hillside quicker. And I'd 144 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.919 seen anything move like that, especially something that big. And 145 00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:52.240 it had to be the same one that i'd seen, 146 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.480 you know, a few years earlier in the barn. 147 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:57.879 It had a little more gray on it. 148 00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:00.279 The one in the barn was more black, but I 149 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.399 could tell it had this sort of a grayish tint 150 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:06.639 to it. I was probably I think I was probably 151 00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.440 fifty or sixty yards away from that one in the barn. 152 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:12.679 But this one, this time, it was right in front 153 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.759 of my truck. I got a good look at it. 154 00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:23.559 It was shaggy looking but clean, and it had a 155 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.240 little more gray in it than when i'd seen it before. 156 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:31.120 And it didn't turn to look at us, but it 157 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.960 took off the muscles in the arms and the legs, and. 158 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.519 I mean, this thing was just built. 159 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.720 And the way it moved, I can't even explain how 160 00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:46.600 it moved as fast as it did. So we got 161 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.759 out of there, and I'm pretty sure I almost broke 162 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.360 an axle getting over the railroad tracks to get out 163 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:58.039 of my uncle's farm. Another event I remember, my cousin 164 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:02.759 and I we had built a fort up on top 165 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:06.879 of one of these ridges, actually fairly close to my house. 166 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:07.200 Now. 167 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:10.279 My uncle's property where the first two sightings happened was 168 00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:15.320 about three miles from where I lived, and so we 169 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:19.919 also lived down into the bottoms, and so my cousin's 170 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.720 my cousin was next door, and they were up on 171 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.919 other ridges, and so we had built a pretty large 172 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.759 tree fort up on top of this ridge with two 173 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:32.279 with a ravine on either side of it. And so 174 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.240 one night we decided, once we had finished it, we 175 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.279 were going to camp out there and stay out there 176 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:37.799 all night. 177 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.120 We built a fire, and. 178 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:45.120 Probably it was probably getting close to midnight, and we 179 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:49.440 were middle schoolers, so we were telling jokes and cracking 180 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:53.600 each other up, and at one point my cousin said 181 00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:56.919 something funny to me, and I laughed real hard, and 182 00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.559 from down at the bottom of the hill right below us, 183 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:05.399 we heard the loudest solid whistle either of us had 184 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:10.399 ever heard our entire lives. It you could I've never 185 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:12.559 felt a whistle in my chest before. 186 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.720 It was that loud. It had power to it, and. 187 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:19.759 At first we thought it was his dad messing with us, 188 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:22.679 and then we went to check and he was actually 189 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.600 was in bed to sleep, and at that point we 190 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.360 were a little friked out, so we didn't go back 191 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.399 out there for the rest of the night. Didn't know 192 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.720 what it could have been at the time. I think 193 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:38.919 that was actually before my first sighting on the tractor, 194 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.720 But as I've learned more and more over the years, 195 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:44.799 I've gone back and I've actually talked to my cousin 196 00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.559 about it, and we agree that it may have possibly 197 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.559 been one of these creatures. Now, over the years, I've 198 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.159 had lots of times where I've been out in the 199 00:11:55.200 --> 00:12:01.200 woods in that same area and I've had rocks thrown 200 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:08.480 at me, I've found tepee structures, I've had more whistles, 201 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:15.519 And the weirdest was a really weird, high pitched chittering 202 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:19.679 noise that I thought it might have been a squirrel 203 00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:22.679 at first, but then the more I listened to it, 204 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.639 it sounded like monkey gibberish almost, and it was like 205 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:29.120 bouncing back and forth from like one side of the 206 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:33.919 woods to the other. And I was out of the 207 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:36.399 woods at that point when I started hearing it, and 208 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:38.559 I just got out of there. 209 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:39.440 At that point. 210 00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:46.320 Now my uncle's property where it's located. Let's say this. 211 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:51.000 Once I had started researching the topic more, I had 212 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:54.159 people found out that I did research this, and they 213 00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.559 started contacting me with their stories. And I had one 214 00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:03.840 gentleman call me who was a hunter, and he had 215 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.000 told me that he had been having issues with something 216 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:12.360 stealing his deer and he had a stand set up 217 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.679 on one of these high ridges. And what he explained 218 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.840 it to me was he would set up early in 219 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:22.320 the morning, he would get a good deer would come out, 220 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:25.919 he would shoot him. The deer would go down, and 221 00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.200 he said, no, sooner than he could climb out of 222 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.399 his stand. He said, this big hairy creature on two 223 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.360 legs would run out, grab the deer, throw it over 224 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:37.480 its shoulders, and run back off into the woods with it. 225 00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:42.960 And he said it happened to him three times. And 226 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.080 I asked him too, I said, well, why did you 227 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.360 not take a shot at it? He said, well, looked 228 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.200 too human. And I asked him, okay, so where was 229 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.080 this located at? And he said the name of the 230 00:13:55.200 --> 00:14:01.559 hill where he had his stand on was named Honda Hill. Okay, well, 231 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:04.039 I have to research this well. That evening I asked 232 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.879 my dad, I said, Dad, have you ever heard of 233 00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:08.840 a place named Honda Hill? And he goes, yeah, that's 234 00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:12.559 the property right next to your uncles. I couldn't believe it. 235 00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:14.639 I'm like, okay, well, that explains a whole lot. Then 236 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.240 there was another woman that reached out to me and 237 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.360 talked about how back in the mid seventies, her and 238 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:24.759 her sister lived in a house down in the bottoms 239 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.559 in that area, and I think her sister had gotten 240 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:30.480 up to get a drink of water in the middle 241 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.639 of the night one time, and she said she just 242 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:37.720 started screaming, bloody murder. She ran down to see what 243 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:42.320 it was, and there at the kitchen sink window was 244 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:46.000 this pair of big red eyes and a hairy face 245 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:49.440 attached to him, just staring in the window at him. 246 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.320 And I think what freaked him out more was the 247 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.919 fact that the window, they said, was about ten feet 248 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.919 off the ground. They said the screaming, I guess startled 249 00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:01.639 it and it took off running, they said, back towards 250 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.360 the hills. And then I got more info out of them. 251 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.960 The house they lived in was about a quarter a 252 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:10.519 mile away from my uncle's property. 253 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:12.679 So the area. 254 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:18.000 Had quite a bit of activity over the years, all 255 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:19.559 the way back into the seventies. 256 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:22.320 I also. 257 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:28.559 Am not too far from Spotsvield, Kentucky, where of course 258 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.320 they had those Spotsfield Monster stuff happened back in the 259 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:37.919 seventies as well. So the whole region has just covered 260 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:45.919 with activity all the time. It seems even now I'm 261 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.320 living on the opposite end of the county. There's more 262 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:54.080 hills out on this end. Not hardly any bottoms anywhere. 263 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.720 There's few creek bottoms, but lots of woods, lots of hills, 264 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:00.639 cattle farms like that. 265 00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.240 Every year, it seems like around. 266 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:10.440 Late fall, early winter, we can set out on the 267 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:13.559 porch and we listen, and we can listen for the coyotes. 268 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.480 The coyotes will always start up, but then you'll always 269 00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:20.320 hear something else howling with them. 270 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:21.960 That just sounds a little off. 271 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:28.639 And I mean, to me, that's just that just sells 272 00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:31.000 it for me, that yep, they're they're out there. There's 273 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:34.600 one of them right there, and we hear it all 274 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.799 the time. And I've even gotten my wife to set 275 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.240 out and listen to it, and she's even agreed with 276 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:43.600 me that no, that's that's not a cody. 277 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:44.279 Whatever that is. 278 00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:47.799 It's it's howling with the coyotes, but it is not 279 00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:52.039 a cody. You can just hear it. There's a lot 280 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:57.679 more force in it, and it it almost drowns them 281 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:05.559 out sometimes. Now more recently, around eight to ten months ago, 282 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:08.559 me and a good friend of mine went out to 283 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:12.480 go drive the bottoms. You know, he had taken an 284 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:16.799 interest in going out, and you know, let's go hunt 285 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.759 for Bigfoot. You know, we'll go drive the river bottoms 286 00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:22.680 and the back roads and see if we see anything. 287 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:29.799 And we went down in the areas between where I'd 288 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.400 had my original sightings and where all the Spotsville stuff 289 00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:34.720 had happened back in the seventies. 290 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:36.759 So we were it was a. 291 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:39.599 Lot of open farmland and just a lot of open 292 00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:44.720 flat area with little, little, sparse areas of trees kind 293 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:49.960 of thrown in. And as we were coming around and 294 00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:54.559 the gravel road was turning back into pavement, I happened 295 00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:58.599 to see a bright yellow pair of eyes that looked 296 00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:01.519 like they were eight to ten feet up in a 297 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:06.759 tree that we were heading straight towards. I got my 298 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.960 buddy to look because he was watching out the side 299 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:15.079 of the truck with my night vision goggles, and as 300 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:19.519 soon as he turned to look, the eyes closed. But 301 00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:22.880 the tree they were in, this was probably a forty 302 00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:26.319 to fifty foot tall tree, and the whole tree just 303 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:33.240 shook violently, and trying to get my phone up, got 304 00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:36.319 the video up, and I think I maybe recorded just 305 00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:40.799 the last little bit of the tree shaking, and then 306 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:45.200 it just took off and was gone, and so were 307 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.839 we it we you know, we wanted to see one, 308 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:50.759 but we didn't want to get quite that close because 309 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:53.559 we were probably fifteen yards away from it when the 310 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:56.079 when the whole tree started shaking back and forth. 311 00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:58.759 Another time, at my. 312 00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:00.799 Uncle's place, he had and he had a couple of 313 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:07.400 lakes there we could fish in a lot. 314 00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:04.119 And. 315 00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:07.880 I would go there fishing quite a bit, even before 316 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.359 I had my driver's license. I would walk the three 317 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:12.839 miles from my house to my uncle's place just to 318 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:18.960 go fishing. And I went there one day, and this 319 00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:24.119 was after my initial sighting, but before me and my 320 00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:29.079 friend had went there, So two thousand and four or five, 321 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:34.440 and I got there to go fishing, and was a 322 00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:38.440 little later in the day, probably probably around five o'clock 323 00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:41.799 or so. It might have been a after school thing. 324 00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:47.160 And I got there and you have to walk The 325 00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:50.400 lake level was above the regular ground level. They had 326 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:54.119 built a big dam to build this lake, and so 327 00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:57.039 I had to walk up the dam to get up 328 00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:00.599 to the lake to fish. Well, I walk up and 329 00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:05.680 nothing seems off at first, and I'm just kind of 330 00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:07.559 looking around, trying to figure out which part of the 331 00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:11.359 lake I want to go to and try and see 332 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:13.640 if I can catch anything. And then I noticed down 333 00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:16.480 at the very far end of it, where it's real shallow, 334 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.000 what looks like a giant tree stump just sticking up 335 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.160 out of the water that was not there like two 336 00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:28.000 or three days earlier when I was there fishing, and 337 00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:30.279 I'm trying to figure out what it was, and it 338 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:36.000 starts moving and I figured out it was another bigfoot, 339 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:41.039 and it was setting down in the water, and I 340 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:45.559 watched it because it hadn't seen me yet, and it 341 00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:47.880 was sitting there, and all of a sudden, I see 342 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:50.880 one of its arms moves real quick under the water 343 00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:55.640 and it comes up and it's got a fish and 344 00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:59.440 it throws it up on the bank, and. 345 00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:02.759 I was just dumbfounded. 346 00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:06.279 I was just watching this and I guess it finally 347 00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:11.640 realized I was there, saw me, and slowly, like it 348 00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:15.759 so slowly got up out of the water, and it 349 00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.880 was such a smooth, fluid movement, it was like it 350 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:19.799 almost didn't. 351 00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:21.240 Even ripple the water when it got out. 352 00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:25.119 And it got out, it grabbed the fish that I 353 00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:27.039 had seen it throw, and I guess there was a 354 00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:30.000 one or two more there, and it just scooped them 355 00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:34.799 up in one fluid motion and then took off down 356 00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:39.839 the other side of the dam, but down into the woods. 357 00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:43.680 And I still think it was the same one because 358 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:46.640 it had that real black look to it, but with 359 00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:51.519 the little bit of the grayish tint. And that pretty 360 00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:53.599 much brings us up to date with where I am now. 361 00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:04.839 My big foots happened in nineteen ninety four, about ten 362 00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:11.000 miles south of Samson, Alabama, when I was sixteen years old. 363 00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:15.759 My stepdad and my uncle would take me hunting in 364 00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:18.480 a particular set of woods there close to the Florida line, 365 00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:24.640 just north of the Pea River in Alabama. And I 366 00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:28.880 didn't get to hunt much during the football season because 367 00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:32.279 I played football, so I just I waited until season 368 00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:35.160 was over, and then then I would go into woods 369 00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:40.319 with them and we would do our thing, and when 370 00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:43.440 I went in to woods for the first time that 371 00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:47.599 that year, I noticed my tree stand was off the 372 00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:52.000 tree and was laying down beside it. We had a 373 00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:57.119 tropical storm that year, and we naturally thought I'd just 374 00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:00.839 been blown off during the tropical storm, in which it 375 00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:04.720 very well could have. But we were very you know, 376 00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:08.400 we didn't have a lot of money, and my stepdad 377 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:12.000 and uncle were carpenters by trade, so we built our 378 00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:16.160 own ladder stands to lean up against the tree. Well, 379 00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:20.960 since my tree, my tree stand was down on the ground, 380 00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:24.079 I looked around and there just happened to be a 381 00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:29.119 holly tree that was laid over against a big white 382 00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:33.160 oak tree, and I thought it was a perfect blind, 383 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:36.720 you know, And so I just sat up underneath it 384 00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:38.680 for a couple of weeks until I could build my 385 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:42.359 own stand. And in that time I killed two deer 386 00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:46.599 out from underneath that that blind and really didn't think 387 00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:49.039 anything of it because it was just natural. Was like, hey, 388 00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:56.440 it's natural cover. It was wonderful. So we started noticing 389 00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:02.119 things we would hear in We would hear huffs, you know, 390 00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.559 real aggressive guttural just like a deer blowing. But it 391 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.160 had more base to it, and it sounded angry, and 392 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:13.079 we just kind of blew it off, you know, and 393 00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:18.519 kept walking in and we found a couple of footprints 394 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:24.720 and they looked like bare human footprints. And in that 395 00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:27.799 part of the woods and the swamp and wetlands, we 396 00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:31.960 were is no person should be back their barefoot. We 397 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:35.160 didn't think anybody would be back to their barefoot. And 398 00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:39.079 whenever we saw them, naturally, my stepdad and my uncle, 399 00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:44.559 they're practical guys. They're very practical, and it's just they 400 00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:48.839 seem to not believe in bigfoot. They seem to not 401 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:51.799
