1
00:00:09,759 --> 00:00:12,679
Speaker 1: Back in the late seventies, I had just graduated from

2
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,599
college and was getting ready to move from Sioux Falls,

3
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:20,039
South Dakota to Houston, Texas. Back then, there was a

4
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,600
large group of us that hung around together all the

5
00:00:22,679 --> 00:00:26,480
time since we got out of high school. One weekend,

6
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,000
we decided to go to a park just east of

7
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:32,960
the city called Beaver Creek. It was a wild prairie

8
00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:38,560
park with natural restored prairie grasslands. These days, it's pretty

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,320
much in the city limits. A creek flanked this grassland

10
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:47,759
on three sides, with a couple of pedestrian bridges. Thick

11
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,399
old oak trees covered the steep bluff and a horseshoe

12
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:54,560
shape around this flat picnic area where there were a

13
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,679
few pavilions and a parking lot. I think that day

14
00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:01,039
was a holiday because there were a lot of people

15
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:05,560
there throwing frisbees and playing at the playground. My group

16
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:08,959
had settled into a pavilion just across the creek from

17
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,760
the dense woods. There were bushes and trees so thick

18
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,560
you couldn't see into it at all. We were just

19
00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:19,439
enjoying the day, grilling on the barbecue and having some

20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,799
beers out of nowhere the bushes violently rustled, and a

21
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,799
flock of birds flew wildly up into the sky. It

22
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,159
sounded like Niagara Falls. It was really loud. It was

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,840
so startling almost everyone in the small park stopped and looked.

24
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:43,159
Then there was a monstrous, chest rattling growl that lasted

25
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,079
for probably fifteen seconds. It was like the rumble coming

26
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,439
out of an old steam engine. We were in absolute shock,

27
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,239
and then there were these earth shaking stomps that we

28
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,799
all felt through the concrete floor of the pavilion. Without

29
00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:03,120
even thinking, we dropped everything and ran to the parking lot,

30
00:02:03,239 --> 00:02:07,319
along with a dozen other people. I have no experience

31
00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:10,639
with hunting, and I'm not familiar with wildlife, so I

32
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,400
asked one of my friends, who does hunt. Do you

33
00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:16,560
think that was a deer or a cow? That was

34
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,319
no deer or cow, he replied. We stood there for

35
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,759
about ten minutes and didn't hear anything else. So we

36
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,039
eventually went back to the pavilion and got our stuff,

37
00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:30,800
and everybody went home. Some of us were pretty certain

38
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:34,479
that we knew what this thing was. Just as a

39
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,199
side note, back in the seventies there were all sorts

40
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,240
of UFO sightings and strange lights in this area that

41
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,919
even made it into the newspaper. A friend of mine

42
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,360
was a park ranger who lived in the ranger house

43
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,360
at Beaver Creek, and he said he woke up one

44
00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:53,759
night when there was a full moon and he saw

45
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:59,039
three massive black figures moving through the prairie grass. He

46
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:01,840
thought they might be cult members because they looked like

47
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:05,960
they were wearing robes with pointed heads. He never felt

48
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,520
comfortable there. I moved to Houston in nineteen eighty. I

49
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,719
have come back to retire. Compared to Houston, Sioux Falls

50
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:18,039
as a safe and convenient place, and I haven't read

51
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:22,000
or heard anything of such activity in the past twenty years.

52
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,080
There are other strange activities that took place at that time.

53
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:29,120
If you'd like, I'll send more of these events. I

54
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:35,479
just don't want to bore you. So I'm thirty nine

55
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,599
years old and I live in DeSoto County, Mississippi. My

56
00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:43,680
family owns land near Jackson, Tennessee, and that's what turned

57
00:03:43,719 --> 00:03:47,800
me onto your program. I always had a minor interest

58
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:51,280
in Bigfoot from a kid, but I remained quite skeptic

59
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,000
on the subject, and I thought if it was real,

60
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,759
that it would only exist in the Big mountain terrain.

61
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,400
My YouTube suggested a video of yours one day about

62
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:05,120
Bigfoot in the Hatchie Wildlife Refuge, an area that I

63
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,240
was familiar with that wasn't far from our family land

64
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,439
on the Forkadeer River. I have been in the woods

65
00:04:11,479 --> 00:04:14,879
since my grandpa started dragging me around at two years old.

66
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:18,600
I've hunted and spent time in our isolated hunting cabin

67
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,800
my whole life. I'm still an avid hunter and river rat.

68
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,600
I hunt everything from gators to deer. I have spent

69
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,639
a lot of time, both day and night in the

70
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,879
woods of North Mississippi and West Tennessee. I have seen

71
00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:36,759
many things in almost every animal that lives in these areas.

72
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,040
In twenty and sixteen, late in the hunting season, we

73
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,600
were hunting rabbits in Holly Springs National Forest. We had

74
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:48,720
called it today and we were headed home, my brother,

75
00:04:48,879 --> 00:04:52,879
my stepdad, and me. It was late afternoon and still

76
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:56,600
light out. We just turned off Highway seven headed west

77
00:04:56,639 --> 00:04:59,800
towards home when we passed a narrow side road just

78
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:03,639
off the highway. Crouching down in the middle of that

79
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,800
side road was something that I can only describe as

80
00:05:06,879 --> 00:05:10,959
looking like a chimpanzee. With its back to us. It

81
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,079
appeared to be eating or rummaging through a trash bag

82
00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:17,720
lying in the road. Its hair was black and matted

83
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,120
like a chimps and dirty looking. I say it was

84
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,240
crouching because it was on two feet, not four. We

85
00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:28,639
immediately asked each other what we thought we had just seen.

86
00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:31,959
We all agreed that it wasn't a dog, and it

87
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,879
sure wasn't a hog, and that it was in fact

88
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,759
some type of a monkey. We know chimps don't live

89
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,279
wild in Mississippi, although when we were kids there was

90
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:45,360
a man who lived in our subdivision that in fact

91
00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:48,800
had a monkey living on a chain link cage that

92
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,160
took up his entire backyard, and we would oftentimes ride

93
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,720
our bikes over to look at it. So it didn't

94
00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:57,319
seem impossible that someone may have had a monkey that

95
00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:02,279
got loose, though it's highly unlikely. My brother did make

96
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:05,639
a comment that people have mentioned an ape man around

97
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,279
Holly Springs. We laughed a little and left it at

98
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:13,800
that and continued home. After coming across your program and

99
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,000
another that I listened to, I now think that what

100
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,759
we saw was possibly a juvenile bigfoot. If it would

101
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:23,519
have been standing, I would put it around six feet

102
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,360
in height. I enjoy your program, and when I started

103
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,759
hearing the stories from around this area and areas that

104
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,079
I hunt on your show, I was hooked. The President's

105
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,959
Island story got me too. We have a small plot

106
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,720
of hunting land near there in the Ensley Bottoms. I

107
00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:45,240
once heard a scream that was very close to my

108
00:06:45,399 --> 00:06:49,519
ladder stand, right before daylight one morning that really messed

109
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,519
with me, and that I could not identify. I spent

110
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,160
the rest of that day listening to Bobcat, Panther, Fox

111
00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:02,120
and code sounds on the Internet trying to identify it.

112
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,879
It reminded me of a wild woman screaming in agony.

113
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:09,480
It was burned into my mind and only recently did

114
00:07:09,519 --> 00:07:12,399
I hear it again. It was on a recording from

115
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,959
a YouTube of a bigfoot screaming. Thanks for your stories

116
00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:20,160
and making my trips home go by so quickly. We

117
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,639
don't know everything God created, but I was always told

118
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,040
to keep an eye open and carry a gun and

119
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:28,680
a lighter in the woods because you never know what

120
00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:31,920
situation you'll find yourself in, and you never know what's

121
00:07:31,959 --> 00:07:38,560
out there. Thanks again. I'm not quite sure how to

122
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,759
start this series of encounters with what I now believe

123
00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:45,639
to be bigfoot in Connecticut. It could be what is

124
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:49,920
termed repressed memories that I think must have been triggered

125
00:07:49,959 --> 00:07:53,480
by something recently. But when I started writing down the

126
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,360
memories I had about this, more thoughts came back on

127
00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:03,160
this subject. Specific My area, Seymour, where these encounters occurred

128
00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:07,199
was a combination of medium sized farms which were slowly

129
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:10,079
giving way to the building of homes, so the area

130
00:08:10,279 --> 00:08:13,800
was a mix, and that area was only a short

131
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,439
ride of way to the neighboring city of an Sonia.

132
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,199
We lived on old an Sonia Road, which backed right

133
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:25,800
up to a two thousand acre tract of watershed property

134
00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:30,199
which now is a part of the Naugatok State Forest.

135
00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:34,840
Divided by only one road, Connecticut State Route three point thirteen.

136
00:08:35,759 --> 00:08:40,799
This tract of land includes two large reservoirs, numerous ponds, swamps,

137
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:47,039
and streams. This is where the encounters started. My earliest

138
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,639
recollection of something unusual was steering a family ride and

139
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,120
a car through this reservoir area with my mom and dad.

140
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,720
I was at best around six or seven years old

141
00:08:57,919 --> 00:09:02,000
in the back seat as we passed one of these reservoirs,

142
00:09:02,039 --> 00:09:05,279
back then, my mom and dad spotted something crouching down

143
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,240
to the reservoir looking down into the water. My mom exclaimed, John,

144
00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:13,840
look at that, what is that? My father slowed the

145
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:15,759
car and said, I don't know. It looks like someone

146
00:09:15,799 --> 00:09:18,960
in a monkey suit. Now, why would anybody be dressed

147
00:09:19,039 --> 00:09:21,960
up like that? I was able to get to the

148
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,039
car window in time and remember seeing a dark figure

149
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,799
next to the waterline looking down into it. We had

150
00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:32,559
no knowledge, experience, or any thinking at all that there

151
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,080
were such things as bigfoot. By the time I reached

152
00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:39,519
ten years old, us and neighborhood kids were fully into

153
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,000
that forest, exploring, camping and hiking, and never ever leaving

154
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,879
trash or a mess. We were almost like stewards of

155
00:09:47,919 --> 00:09:52,159
the forest. We were literally in that woodland area every

156
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,519
day that we could go, sometimes even on school nights,

157
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,399
and in the rain, no problem there either. We simply

158
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,960
put on our raincoats and we went out. Over time,

159
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,200
we camped deeper and deeper into the woods, and one

160
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,799
area became our favorite, nestled right into a grove of

161
00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:14,759
tall evergreens, we pitched camp, made our camp fire, and

162
00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:18,039
enjoyed ourselves for sometimes a week at a time. During

163
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,399
the summer. What we didn't realize was the way we

164
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,919
broke the branches and small logs for our fire was

165
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,919
to strike the branches against trees in order to break

166
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,559
them into smaller pieces. Again, we did not even have

167
00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:35,399
thought as to what bigfoot was. But looking back now,

168
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,600
we broke sometimes a full quart of branches in just

169
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,240
one day, sometimes on and off for hours, and in

170
00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:47,080
the nighttime two for our fire. It was fun. From

171
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,240
what I know now, this is one of the ways

172
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,440
that Bigfoot communicate. It was during the night during one

173
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:56,039
of these summer camping trips one of the younger boys

174
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,960
in our neighborhood group, called a Little Billy, started shouting

175
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,440
and then he was crying. He was visibly shaking. This

176
00:11:04,639 --> 00:11:08,240
was no joking on his part. We had absolutely no

177
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,559
idea what had just happened to him. When his brother

178
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,519
and the rest of us got him calmed down, he

179
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,679
explained that he saw a monster in the woods let

180
00:11:17,799 --> 00:11:21,919
by our campfire. Now, I've only seen one other time

181
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,840
in my life someone shake like that, and that was

182
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,840
years later when someone at work was having a seizure.

183
00:11:28,639 --> 00:11:31,440
We convinced little Billy there was no such thing as

184
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:35,559
monsters and we got him calmed down. His reply was

185
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,480
very sincere. Then what did I just see? A minute later,

186
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,519
a rock came flying into the camp near the fire.

187
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,919
We thought it may have been a vagrant or someone

188
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,720
throwing things, so we grabbed our BB guns and opened

189
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,679
fire in that direction where the rock came from. Oh,

190
00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:58,759
you guys were cowboys. Soon another rock came and we

191
00:11:58,799 --> 00:12:02,240
again shot in the dark. At that point, little Billy

192
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,000
wanted to leave, so his bigger brother had to walk

193
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,399
him all the way home at night because he didn't

194
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,279
want to stay there. The rest of that evening was quiet.

195
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,559
During another camping trip in this same area, at night,

196
00:12:15,639 --> 00:12:18,879
I smelled a very strong skunk oder come into the

197
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,159
camp when we were all sleeping in our six man tent.

198
00:12:23,159 --> 00:12:26,559
I didn't hear any footsteps, but then someone started urinating

199
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,639
on the side of our tent. I sat up, did

200
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,799
a head count, and all of us guys were in

201
00:12:31,879 --> 00:12:36,080
the tent. This lasted a good sixty or ninety seconds.

202
00:12:36,639 --> 00:12:39,600
It was a very strong stream at one spot on

203
00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:42,799
the tent. I didn't know what to think, attributing it

204
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,960
to maybe rain or something pouring out of a tree overhead.

205
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,120
I just didn't know, so I laid back down and

206
00:12:49,159 --> 00:12:52,799
I went to sleep. During other times, while we would

207
00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:55,600
go hiking, we would come across a number of branches

208
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,200
shaped like a blind that a hunter would set up,

209
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,519
and also sometimes shape very purposely into an X. We

210
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,679
wondered who would be doing this. There was absolutely no

211
00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:10,600
hunting on this track of land. People were not even

212
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:14,320
allowed into this entire watershed area, and there were plenty

213
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,200
of no trespassing signs along the state highway. We also

214
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,679
would come across younger trees, perhaps ten or eight feet

215
00:13:22,799 --> 00:13:26,159
high and maybe one to two inches in diameter, broken

216
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,240
in half and pointing in a certain direction. We would

217
00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:32,600
stop and look at these trees and wonder why in

218
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,320
the world would someone do this. Some of those broken

219
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,879
trees were freshly broken, as sap would still be oozing

220
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:43,600
out of the broken limb. Other times we would find

221
00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:46,919
broken branches and trees formed into some type of barrier.

222
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,360
This was not a random falling of trees because the

223
00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:55,519
limbs were interwoven, definitely showing some type of intelligence, but

224
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,720
we had absolutely no idea what or who would do

225
00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:01,919
this In the middle of these woods. A number of

226
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,440
times we would also find smaller, completely uprooted evergreen trees

227
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,679
pulled out of the ground with the root showing and

228
00:14:08,759 --> 00:14:13,200
push back into the ground upside down. We would look

229
00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:17,840
also at these and again could not understand why this occurred.

230
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,279
Through my later research, I learned possibly this is some

231
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,559
type of food signal. During more than a few of

232
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,320
our hikes, both in the summer and in the winter,

233
00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:31,840
we would be walking in the woods and hear someone

234
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,360
trailing us off to the side. We would stop and

235
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,679
the noise would stop. A few times we caught it

236
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,360
as we would all stop walking at the same time

237
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:45,320
and the noise would travel another two or three more steps.

238
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,440
We would yell, hey, we caught you, but no one

239
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,919
answered back. At other times, we would be on a

240
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,200
hike to go play in the brook or one of

241
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,279
the swamps, and some of us got hit by acorns

242
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,399
as we walked. Of course, we blamed it each other

243
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,240
for this, and everyone would honestly deny it one hundred

244
00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:08,240
percent of the time. If someone was fooling around, they

245
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,360
would fess up and the issue would be over. Not

246
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,799
when this happened, though, no one took credit for the acorns.

247
00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:18,879
Other times I would go for a hike by myself

248
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,159
during the day and I would hear a very distinct

249
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,159
and clear whistle right near me. I stopped and would

250
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,159
look around, and I could swear someone was looking at me,

251
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:31,440
and I got a strange feeling that I wasn't alone,

252
00:15:31,559 --> 00:15:34,720
but I couldn't see anyone. I turned around and I

253
00:15:34,759 --> 00:15:39,519
went home. One warm, clear summer night, I decided to

254
00:15:39,559 --> 00:15:43,639
go on a night hike all by myself, no flashlight, nothing,

255
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,639
just by moonlight. I got about a half mile into

256
00:15:47,679 --> 00:15:50,559
the woods and peered into the darkness near our favorite

257
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,399
camping spot, and I froze. I could swear someone was there,

258
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,440
and among the evergreen trees, the literal hair on the

259
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,519
back of my next stood up and it stayed like that.

260
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,440
I didn't see any glowing eyes or anything like that,

261
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,279
but I could swear there were what I feel like

262
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:14,399
separate individuals present in the trees. I turned around and

263
00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:16,960
ran back down the path as fast as I could.

264
00:16:17,919 --> 00:16:20,480
As I was running, a rock came crashing through the

265
00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:23,879
trees next to me on my right. I continued to

266
00:16:24,039 --> 00:16:26,639
run got to the last part of the path, which

267
00:16:26,679 --> 00:16:29,320
I needed to climb up a steep hill. All the

268
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,120
while doing this by moonlight, I kept saying to myself

269
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:36,679
don't turn around, don't turn around. I kept repeating this

270
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,039
to myself until I got to the top of the hill,

271
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,080
ran to my house, and I got inside. My mother

272
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,320
was there in the kitchen and said, what's the matter

273
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,600
with you? You look scared. Of course, I said nothing

274
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:50,679
at all, and I just sat down and I had

275
00:16:50,679 --> 00:16:54,600
a cold drink of water. I believe this evening, heike

276
00:16:54,799 --> 00:16:57,840
is what started a number of incidents that happened at

277
00:16:57,879 --> 00:17:00,960
our house in the next years to follow. It could

278
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,799
very well be that these animals or bigfoot followed me home,

279
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,359
possibly by scent. Here is where things become more distinct.

280
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,519
One evening, my sister Carolyn, about eighteen years old, was

281
00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:18,400
washing dishes by the kitchen window, and she started screaming

282
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,519
her head off. All of us ran into the kitchen

283
00:17:21,559 --> 00:17:24,640
to see what the matter was. She was crying and

284
00:17:24,759 --> 00:17:28,599
was almost disgusted that there was a gorilla face staring

285
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,839
back at her in the window. She said. She looked closer,

286
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,640
and it moved its lips and showed its teeth. My father,

287
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:43,359
combat promoted Bronze Star eighty second airborne paratrooper, had already

288
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,079
ran outside past us and said he saw something run

289
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,000
away from the house. Within a month, this happened again

290
00:17:51,079 --> 00:17:54,119
to Carolyn. This time, my father was quicker to run

291
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,079
outside and apparently came face to face with something and

292
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,880
came shooting right back into the house and a fluster.

293
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,200
He said, I don't know what that thing was, but

294
00:18:04,319 --> 00:18:07,920
it's pretty big. From that point on, we kept a

295
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,519
pot of water on the counter near the door, and

296
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:13,759
the garden hose was kept turned on and left on

297
00:18:13,799 --> 00:18:17,799
the porch outside at night. There was one more time

298
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,599
I can remember. My father had waited in the kitchen

299
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,160
with my sister for another appearance of whatever this thing was,

300
00:18:24,519 --> 00:18:28,359
and ran outside to meet it. When it indeed visited again,

301
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,519
he threw the pot of water at it and then

302
00:18:31,599 --> 00:18:35,279
turned the garden hose on it. This time I distinctly

303
00:18:35,319 --> 00:18:38,359
remember him dropping the pot because it clanged when he

304
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,359
dropped it, and he also dropped the hose when it

305
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,240
was still on when he jumped back into the house.

306
00:18:45,279 --> 00:18:47,680
He only described it as something big and that he

307
00:18:47,759 --> 00:18:51,839
didn't know what it was. About this time, two things

308
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,400
happened on our side of the fence, so to speak,

309
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,799
And I cannot honestly say for sure if these next

310
00:18:57,839 --> 00:19:02,240
events are connected to these siding at our house. First,

311
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,400
my father bought a seven point sixty two millimeters rifle

312
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,599
for the house, which we never had guns in the

313
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,599
house before the second thing, we cut down a number

314
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,440
of trees in the backyard to make room for a pool.

315
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,799
We left a few tree stumps in the back. My

316
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,680
mom began leaving bread on them for the birds, and

317
00:19:21,759 --> 00:19:26,720
then started leaving older fruit and vegetables there. I followed suit,

318
00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:31,039
and always within a few days the food would be gone.

319
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,839
I took over this job and kept it up on

320
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,680
and off for a long while. Mom never told me

321
00:19:37,759 --> 00:19:41,200
why she did this, except to feed the birds. On

322
00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:44,720
at least three occasions, I remember finding a neat pile

323
00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:48,160
of stones in our backyard near the stump, and once

324
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,640
on our back porch, very very close to the back door.

325
00:19:52,599 --> 00:19:55,319
I remember thinking that it was my friends playing a

326
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,559
joke because the piles were very neatly done, very deliberately

327
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:02,559
put in place. Yet my friends were not the type

328
00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:07,000
to do this or repeat doing this. One evening, when

329
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,240
I was still in my early teens, I was home

330
00:20:09,279 --> 00:20:11,960
alone watching TV and I had the feeling I was

331
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,640
being watched through the window. I tried to shake it off,

332
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,480
but I couldn't. Just then, my normally protective dog came

333
00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:22,759
whimpering into the room and hid behind the furniture, which

334
00:20:22,799 --> 00:20:26,880
he had never done before. I decided to close the curtains,

335
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,279
and within a few minutes I heard a very loud

336
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,680
slap on the side of the house. I didn't know

337
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,519
what it was, so I went outside and I couldn't

338
00:20:35,519 --> 00:20:40,039
see anything, but I did smell a strong musky skunk odor,

339
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:47,079
but not the usual sharp skunk smell. This was more doglike. Again,

340
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:50,240
I never made any connection to all these events until

341
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:55,079
only recently. This actually happened a second time again in

342
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,480
the same pattern. Home alone watching TV. Got another feeling

343
00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:03,200
that I was being watched, so I closed the curtains again.

344
00:21:03,279 --> 00:21:05,440
My dog came into the room and took up position

345
00:21:05,559 --> 00:21:09,920
behind the furniture, whimpering. This time, a very loud wap

346
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,440
occurred on the side of the house. The next morning,

347
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,119
I went outside and found some brakes in the vinyl

348
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,240
where I had heard the sound come from. I thought

349
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,480
I was going to get blamed for doing this damage

350
00:21:21,519 --> 00:21:24,839
to the house. At least twice a year, it was

351
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,039
my job to clean the gutters, and I did a

352
00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:30,240
pretty thorough job. When I climbed on top of the

353
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,799
shed dormer we built for the second floor. I discovered

354
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,880
rocks in the gutter up there. Distinctly. I remember saying

355
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,480
to myself, why would anyone throw rocks up here? And

356
00:21:41,519 --> 00:21:44,839
I cleaned them out. This occurred more than a few

357
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,000
times while I lived at my home. As I got older,

358
00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:52,240
and especially since I got my driver's license, I no

359
00:21:52,319 --> 00:21:55,400
longer spent time in the woods, and I started hanging

360
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,400
out with my schoolmates at the local McDonald's and at

361
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,880
their homes. These experiences tapered off as the same time,

362
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,279
my neighborhood friends and I grew up and took up

363
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,759
different interests, which meant we didn't spend time in the

364
00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:12,319
woods anymore, and the incidents at our home declined as well.

365
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,640
We would occasionally get a wet dog smell, and my

366
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,000
dog was still occasionally hide behind the furniture near me,

367
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,599
but these also tapered off. As I write this, I'm

368
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,200
sure there'll be a few more memories that come back

369
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,440
to me, but this is the lion's share of what

370
00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:33,279
I can honestly and straightforwardly write down. These events all

371
00:22:33,319 --> 00:22:35,799
come back to me in the last two to three years,

372
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,319
so I thought it best to share them with you.

373
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,559
I've had many experiences in some stories that I can

374
00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:48,319
share with you. I hope you don't get tired of me.

375
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,480
This is a story that was shared with me. She

376
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,200
was the sister of a coworker, and my coworker's name

377
00:22:56,319 --> 00:23:01,880
is Tina and her sister is Susie. In nineteen seventy four,

378
00:23:02,079 --> 00:23:05,640
I lived and work in Lakeland, Florida, for the original

379
00:23:05,799 --> 00:23:10,200
Red Lobster restaurant. My coworker told me that her sister

380
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,759
was coming in to have lunch with us and was

381
00:23:12,839 --> 00:23:15,920
excited about something that had happened to them, and she

382
00:23:16,039 --> 00:23:19,839
wanted to share it with us. Here is a little background.

383
00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:24,240
My friend's brother in law was a forest ranger and

384
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:31,480
was stationed in the Hilochi hilo Cche Hellochi Wildlife Preserve

385
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,119
east of Lakeland and south of Highway four. They had

386
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,359
a little piece of land that backed up to the

387
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,960
forest proper and they put a nice, double wide manufactured

388
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,319
home there. It was fenced in, nice and snug with

389
00:23:46,519 --> 00:23:51,000
chain link fence. Her husband, Paul, was in the tower

390
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,640
most every day for eight to ten hours, except when

391
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,640
he had to check on various issues. And came home

392
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,640
for lunch. This arrangement was great because he could see

393
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,359
their home from the tower and it was walking or

394
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,480
bicycle distance from the tower. They had a four year

395
00:24:08,519 --> 00:24:12,000
old son who was very precious, busy little guy, and

396
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,079
often talked of his buddy that he played with and

397
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,079
talked to all the time in the backyard. His mom

398
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,880
assumed that it was an imaginary friend. Susie came by

399
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,480
for lunch. The three of us sat in the back

400
00:24:26,519 --> 00:24:30,400
corner for a private lunch to talk and visit. After

401
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,519
we ordered. Susie told us of how for the better

402
00:24:33,599 --> 00:24:37,359
part of six months, her son talked all the time

403
00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:41,920
about his buddy in the backyard. He could hardly wait

404
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,279
to go outside and play, and he would sit at

405
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:49,119
the sliding glass doors staring outside, sometimes crying that his

406
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,759
buddy would miss him when it rained and he wouldn't

407
00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:55,599
go outside to play. A couple of weeks before this

408
00:24:55,799 --> 00:24:59,079
lunch meeting, Susie said that her son went right out

409
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,119
to play after breakfast and was on his big wheel,

410
00:25:02,519 --> 00:25:06,680
squealing with delight and zooming around the backyard. So she

411
00:25:06,799 --> 00:25:11,400
went about her housework. The backyard was assumed by the

412
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,079
parents to be completely safe There was a six foot

413
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,160
chain link fence around the backyard with a gate on

414
00:25:18,279 --> 00:25:21,920
either side of the house, and those gates were always locked.

415
00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:25,799
The forest was just a few feet past the fence

416
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,640
on the backside, and on the north side it was

417
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,039
about fifty yards away. They felt like they were in

418
00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:36,160
a safe spot. There were many sources of play items

419
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,160
in the fence yard. There was a swing set made

420
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,880
of wood, and there were multiple riding toys. There were

421
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,759
balls in even a pebble box. When her son went

422
00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:48,960
out to play. Most of the time, she kept the

423
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,039
glass sliding door open so she could hear her son.

424
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,039
Susie was busy at that time mopping, and she heard

425
00:25:56,079 --> 00:25:59,000
her son laughing and saying, you can't catch me, You

426
00:25:59,039 --> 00:26:03,079
can't catch me, and he laughed and he laughed. This

427
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,680
sort of laughter from a child always makes the parents happy.

428
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,160
But she thought she heard another child laughing out in

429
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,079
the yard. It didn't sound like her son at all.

430
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,079
She walked to the door to see who else was

431
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,079
in the yard, and she dropped her mom What she

432
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,880
saw shattered the day. There was a small, hairy boy

433
00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:28,480
a little bigger than her son, peddling another one of

434
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,880
the big will tricks chasing after her son, and they

435
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,720
were both laughing and having a great time. She opened

436
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,039
the door and she rushed out. At that moment, the

437
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,160
mama of the hairy little boy saw Susie come out

438
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,440
of the door, and she rushed from the shadows of

439
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,759
the forest, leaped over the fence with ease, ran to

440
00:26:49,839 --> 00:26:53,720
her son, snatched him off the track, turned around and

441
00:26:53,839 --> 00:26:58,319
looked at Susie. Susie jerked her son and held him,

442
00:26:58,519 --> 00:27:02,039
and they both ran in different directions, Susie to the

443
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,440
house and missus Sisquatch to the woods. Out of breath

444
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,559
and her heart pounding, Susie sat on the dining room

445
00:27:09,759 --> 00:27:13,160
chair holding her son, who was now yelling and crying

446
00:27:13,319 --> 00:27:17,319
about how she had scared off his friend. He broke

447
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,759
free from her embrace and ran to the sliding rear door, yelling,

448
00:27:20,839 --> 00:27:24,519
hey buddy, Hey buddy, come back, at which point Susie

449
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,079
snatched her son away from the glass and scolded him,

450
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,480
saying that he was not to play with Buddy ever again.

451
00:27:32,599 --> 00:27:37,640
Susie then described fully what she saw, a little child sisquatch,

452
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,559
with no hair about its face or hands. Its hands

453
00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:44,519
were firmly able to grift the handlebars of the track,

454
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,200
and its feet were peddling like any other child. She

455
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,640
recalled that the young sasquatch was laughing and talking even

456
00:27:53,759 --> 00:27:59,079
more strange, Apparently her son understood him. They understood each other.

457
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,640
Its hair was not terribly long, but it was brownish

458
00:28:03,759 --> 00:28:07,799
blond with a reddish tint from the sun. The mother

459
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,039
was similar, but darker brown and had more hair, but

460
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,319
while she had hair on her chest, it was sparse there,

461
00:28:14,799 --> 00:28:17,920
and there was no hair on her face. She had

462
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,799
a flat nose. She had dark brown eyes, and a

463
00:28:20,839 --> 00:28:26,119
pinkish tongue, with white teeth with some yellowing. She recalled

464
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,920
to clicking sounds the mama made, and her child responded

465
00:28:30,039 --> 00:28:33,680
in kind. She also noted that both her son and

466
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,519
the hairy child seemed to call out the same words

467
00:28:36,519 --> 00:28:39,960
to each other, and the two kids they actually called

468
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,480
each other buddy. Susie said. She called her husband and

469
00:28:44,519 --> 00:28:47,880
told him what happened from the tower. He looked through

470
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,680
his powerful binoculars looking at the back portion of their property,

471
00:28:51,759 --> 00:28:55,000
going back into the forest, and he didn't see anything.

472
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,880
He called additional forest rangers in his superiors, and that's

473
00:29:00,039 --> 00:29:04,119
started a search. But nothing concrete was ever found except

474
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,759
some faint tracks. After that, Susie and her husband put

475
00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:12,559
an eight foot wooden privacy fence across the back but

476
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,039
she said that her son was despondent over the loss

477
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,480
of his body, and from that day forward he lost

478
00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:23,640
interest in playing in the backyard. Susie said that she

479
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:31,359
feels guilty for ruining his happiness.
