41
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>you glad to be here. Let's talk about this bigfoot thing.

42
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.120
<v Speaker 1>What in the world got you interested in the subject

43
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 1>to begin with?

44
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 3>I used to bowl hunt in West Virginia. It was

45
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.960
<v Speaker 3>about twenty years I stopped hunting more that's went up

46
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.280
<v Speaker 3>there to see my parents. One year we went up

47
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.080
<v Speaker 3>there to visit the company I worked for with Shell,

48
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.000
<v Speaker 3>and they had these little devices on your wrist they

49
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:48.199
<v Speaker 3>count your steps. So I said, I'm gonna go for

50
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.080
<v Speaker 3>a walk. I went up to an area above my

51
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 3>mom and dad's house. It was like a holiday It

52
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 3>went up in the mountains. They called it five right,

53
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.280
<v Speaker 3>So I went up to five right, walked around on it.

54
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:02.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember how many steps, so it was a

55
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:05.280
<v Speaker 3>good little walk, and I went behind what used to

56
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 3>be the tipple, where a low coal out. So I

57
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:12.759
<v Speaker 3>was coming back, the rope went up and crossed up. Well,

58
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 3>it coming back almost following the same direction you would

59
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.639
<v Speaker 3>call it from. While I was coming back, started going

60
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.759
<v Speaker 3>back to my parents. I was actually below where I

61
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 3>had passed, so I was walking. I heard the four knocks,

62
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.159
<v Speaker 3>but it wasn't like a real stick knocker, was like

63
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 3>a staff hit the stump to me. Did it four times,

64
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 3>So I stopped in my tracks and I looked up

65
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 3>in the haller, which this is late in the eating.

66
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm on the dark side of the ridge. And I

67
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 3>can't really see anything. It's dark in the olive. I

68
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 3>could see silhouettes on the top of the ridge, but

69
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 3>I looked up in there. I looked in the holler

70
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.520
<v Speaker 3>and I could see nothing. So I started walking again.

71
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:54.879
<v Speaker 3>It comes four more the same sounded like somebody taking

72
00:03:54.919 --> 00:04:00.319
<v Speaker 3>a staff and jammling it into a stump. Go what sada,

73
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.039
<v Speaker 3>I'm into the real rule. I passed up all the houses,

74
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 3>so I knew it would nobody from the house, and

75
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.560
<v Speaker 3>they wouldn't climb way up three or four hour foot

76
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 3>up the side of that mountain to play a joke

77
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:14.000
<v Speaker 3>on me. So I looked, strained my eyes, and the

78
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.439
<v Speaker 3>hollered trying to see something I still couldn't see. So

79
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 3>I turned and looked down to make my first step,

80
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.920
<v Speaker 3>make sure I wouldn't step on anything. And then all

81
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 3>of a sudden, something was thrown at me, but it

82
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.480
<v Speaker 3>went over the top of the trees. It was so fast.

83
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 3>By the time I heard it hitting the trees and

84
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.839
<v Speaker 3>I turned and looked, it had already passed. It was fast.

85
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.000
<v Speaker 3>I could still see the top the little dems, it

86
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 3>all still moving. I'm won a lot, and I said,

87
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.319
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna have to go So I was packing a

88
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.639
<v Speaker 3>pistol with me and I grabbed that under zipped my

89
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 3>goat where I could get to it, and I went

90
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:53.319
<v Speaker 3>off home. So I told my parents about it, and

91
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 3>they said, I can't think of the guy's nae right now.

92
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.160
<v Speaker 3>Charlie Schwartz, my wife, he minded, it's got a better

93
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:03.120
<v Speaker 3>memory with Charlie Schwartz. She said. Charlie Schwartz was up there,

94
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.439
<v Speaker 3>which is they got a place called the Goldfish Pond.

95
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 3>He was sleeping in the van. He had somebody camping

96
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.720
<v Speaker 3>on the ridge, a little bit of high spoted buck,

97
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, and supposedly he said that a bigfoot dragged

98
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.839
<v Speaker 3>his finger across his van all the way to the front.

99
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.759
<v Speaker 3>I dan Tanda and woke him up, and they were

100
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:26.000
<v Speaker 3>eyeball to eyeball. I said, hut, I said, what throws

101
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.800
<v Speaker 3>rocks and sticks? That's where I got my introduction the bigfoot.

102
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 3>I didn't see him, but the information was pointing in

103
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:37.240
<v Speaker 3>that direction that our witness. I told my wife about

104
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:39.240
<v Speaker 3>it that she started getting a little curious, and we

105
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.759
<v Speaker 3>started doing a lot of research on YouTube, and they

106
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:44.959
<v Speaker 3>had a guy named Patrick Bond. I don't know if

107
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.439
<v Speaker 3>you're familiar with him. He hasn't been on YouTube in

108
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.560
<v Speaker 3>a while, but he was a really doorsy person around

109
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:56.120
<v Speaker 3>Gustache area of around Alexandria, Louisianne. He was like a

110
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.759
<v Speaker 3>primitive deer hunter. He always used old smoke bowl. He

111
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.639
<v Speaker 3>carried a big old long knife he made. That's what

112
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:06.360
<v Speaker 3>he carried when he was looking for a big fuddy.

113
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 3>He says, don't ever do more than one tree knock

114
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.600
<v Speaker 3>because he thinks the rest of them will more address

115
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.480
<v Speaker 3>that you do more. Before that, me and my nephew

116
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:20.240
<v Speaker 3>had went up there and did three or four tree knocks.

117
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.600
<v Speaker 3>We never got any replies, never, so I didn't think

118
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:25.839
<v Speaker 3>no more about it. But then when I heard Patrick

119
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Bond talking about that, then me and my wife and

120
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.560
<v Speaker 3>nephew and grandson went up there. So we went to

121
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.279
<v Speaker 3>the Goldfish Bond. This time we did one tree knock,

122
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.319
<v Speaker 3>but my grandson he wanted to get out of the car.

123
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:40.879
<v Speaker 3>He was crying. He wanted to get out of the car.

124
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:42.879
<v Speaker 3>So we let him out, which was probably a mistake.

125
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.600
<v Speaker 3>Told my nephew get the stick out and hit the tree.

126
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.800
<v Speaker 3>As soon as we hit the tree, it was like

127
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:52.879
<v Speaker 3>somebody was standing there watching us. And as soon as

128
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:57.360
<v Speaker 3>we hit the tree, it replied immediately, so I'm going back,

129
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 3>I say, He hit it again and see if we

130
00:06:58.879 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 3>get that. Go.

131
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:00.600
<v Speaker 4>He hit it again.

132
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.519
<v Speaker 3>We didn't get no, replied I said, that's not no

133
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.480
<v Speaker 3>way it come. I said, let's go. So we took off,

134
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:09.680
<v Speaker 3>started down the mountain and we got through a switch back.

135
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.160
<v Speaker 3>My nephew got braved. He said stop and let me

136
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.560
<v Speaker 3>do another one. I said, okay, I'll stop. He said,

137
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:16.680
<v Speaker 3>get the stick out of the back. So he went

138
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 3>to the back of the day she'd read. He pulled

139
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:20.639
<v Speaker 3>out the stick and they threw it back in and

140
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.360
<v Speaker 3>he slammed the door. Said wait a minute, I thought

141
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 3>you were going to do another tree dog. He said,

142
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.920
<v Speaker 3>whatever is right above us? Said, it's running around. I said,

143
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.480
<v Speaker 3>let's go. So that's some of the things that happened

144
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.519
<v Speaker 3>to us up in West Virginia. In the meantime, back

145
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:37.720
<v Speaker 3>to Louisiana. It was during colvid What was that twenty nineteen.

146
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.160
<v Speaker 3>I think it was in March. Maybe. We decided to

147
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.639
<v Speaker 3>go to Kustashi and go camping. She wanted to go camping.

148
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.199
<v Speaker 3>I had bought a tent from somebody, second hand tent,

149
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.360
<v Speaker 3>nice tent, and went over there to kastache it. And

150
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:52.480
<v Speaker 3>when we got there, we had a campground. It's called

151
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:54.759
<v Speaker 3>Red Bloods. We were the only ones there. There was

152
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:59.079
<v Speaker 3>nobody there. I said, man, that's strange. They had a

153
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:02.160
<v Speaker 3>few camper along the road a little bit in the

154
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:05.600
<v Speaker 3>woods that weren't on campgrounds, but that was probably a

155
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:07.680
<v Speaker 3>half a mile to maybe three quarters of a mile

156
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.480
<v Speaker 3>away from that campground. I had some real bad trouble

157
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.959
<v Speaker 3>with my knees. We tried some hyping. The first night

158
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.759
<v Speaker 3>we didn't have anything really going on except I think

159
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.639
<v Speaker 3>we might have heard maybe a distance tree nod. But

160
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:25.519
<v Speaker 3>the second night we had a distance tree nod. Went

161
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:29.040
<v Speaker 3>to bed and then it was about four o'clock in

162
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:33.080
<v Speaker 3>the morning. I hear a bunch of canones. It sounded

163
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 3>like coyotes. I'm not sure what it was. They runned

164
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.039
<v Speaker 3>like they chasing a deer or something. Wow, so what

165
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 3>is that? Then I hear this huge tree crash. The

166
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:49.679
<v Speaker 3>dogs or the canine just they shut up and didn't

167
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:54.799
<v Speaker 3>make another beat. I'm going that's strange. So I'm laying there.

168
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.799
<v Speaker 3>I reached over to get my pistol and I put

169
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.519
<v Speaker 3>it on my chest and I'm listening like here the

170
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:05.960
<v Speaker 3>bear proof trash can lid drop. Now there's no lights,

171
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:10.559
<v Speaker 3>no campers, no cars drove up, no nothing. We're the

172
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:14.279
<v Speaker 3>only ones there. So I thought if that would have

173
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:17.159
<v Speaker 3>been a bear, I would have heard some fumbling try

174
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 3>to get that lid up and then drop it. But

175
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.600
<v Speaker 3>this was quiet and it just dropped. That don't sell right.

176
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.320
<v Speaker 3>So I'm sitting there looking up at the sky and say,

177
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.960
<v Speaker 3>oh Lord, I said, get me some light. I was

178
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:32.559
<v Speaker 3>getting real nervous. She was snowing. She didn't wake up,

179
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:34.440
<v Speaker 3>and I didn't want to wake her up because I

180
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:37.960
<v Speaker 3>didn't want her to scream or anything cause it a panic.

181
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:42.039
<v Speaker 3>And I'm laying there going that what's going on? Something

182
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:45.519
<v Speaker 3>drags a stick or a fanker right above our heads

183
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:49.200
<v Speaker 3>across the tent. So I'm hoping for daylight to come on.

184
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:54.519
<v Speaker 3>So that was the first Louisiana incident that happened to us.

185
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:57.759
<v Speaker 3>I told her what happened. I think she maybe hesitated

186
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:00.720
<v Speaker 3>and believe in me, so she wanted to camping again.

187
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:04.039
<v Speaker 3>I tuned at the Hills, so we went to Tunica

188
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Hills I think it was the next weekend or a

189
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:10.519
<v Speaker 3>weekend after, and were camping over there once again. It

190
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:13.600
<v Speaker 3>sink out a lot of helped people camping over there

191
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 3>because of the COVID. We set up a tent. She

192
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:19.000
<v Speaker 3>put us way in the back, you know, by ourselves.

193
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:21.720
<v Speaker 3>We cooked, went this bed and I was laying there

194
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:26.120
<v Speaker 3>and itself. I think it was around midnight. It was raccoon.

195
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.200
<v Speaker 3>He was screaming and all and like somebody had him

196
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.159
<v Speaker 3>by the scruff of the neck. And then I've seen

197
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.679
<v Speaker 3>it fly across the campground. What is that? You know,

198
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:38.159
<v Speaker 3>our coon's getting aggravated and cut up. So about that

199
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.519
<v Speaker 3>time she wakes up and she says, I got to

200
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:42.559
<v Speaker 3>use the baths, and I said, okay. So we go

201
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.159
<v Speaker 3>out of the tent and that coon had ran up

202
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:46.919
<v Speaker 3>a tree and got up in the fork and just

203
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:49.720
<v Speaker 3>looking at us. She used the bathroom. We went back

204
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:53.360
<v Speaker 3>to bed, and while I was falling off asleep, it

205
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:56.080
<v Speaker 3>sounded like a tree knock. I just thought I was dreaming.

206
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:58.519
<v Speaker 3>So the next morning I got up, I told my

207
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:00.320
<v Speaker 3>boy man, I had a weird dreaming. I thought I

208
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.080
<v Speaker 3>heard a tree knock. She says, you heard it, said,

209
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:06.000
<v Speaker 3>I guess this wasn't a dream. So we got up

210
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:09.320
<v Speaker 3>in the daylight and we seen some tree breaks I said, yeah,

211
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.799
<v Speaker 3>they're around here too, So that was like a second

212
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:17.399
<v Speaker 3>little incident. We started paying attention more to things that

213
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:20.559
<v Speaker 3>were going on, and I started asking people if i'd

214
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:23.519
<v Speaker 3>see somebody, I'd ask them, you believe in Bigfoot? And

215
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:27.840
<v Speaker 3>I was shot plenty times right round here in Pierre Part.

216
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:29.320
<v Speaker 3>To give you kind of the lay of the land,

217
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.000
<v Speaker 3>we're like a little ridge that runs she was swamp. Basically,

218
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.639
<v Speaker 3>it's about maybe a coulter mile wide, maybe wider in

219
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:40.440
<v Speaker 3>some places and narrow and others. That goes all the

220
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 3>way to the Chapel Lit spillway and the spillway demps

221
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.440
<v Speaker 3>out into the Gulf. I guess we're probably about had

222
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:49.200
<v Speaker 3>a crow fries about twenty miles from the Gulf. Her

223
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.080
<v Speaker 3>family would first come here and live and work. I

224
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:57.480
<v Speaker 3>guess maybe the sixteen hundred Snipcajun's French speaking. So her

225
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.480
<v Speaker 3>father's family had a big piece of land not from

226
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:05.200
<v Speaker 3>my house. It's about forty acres. That's where we started

227
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.519
<v Speaker 3>going over there and looking around. One day I was

228
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:10.559
<v Speaker 3>over there, I'm starting to see tree breaks, and said,

229
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:14.440
<v Speaker 3>you know that things might be here. I was curious,

230
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:16.840
<v Speaker 3>so I started putting out oranges. I have a naval

231
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.440
<v Speaker 3>tree that got hit in the last two snows we got,

232
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 3>which was very unusual. It made big, huge naval oranges.

233
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:26.960
<v Speaker 3>So I take him and put him on a tree

234
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:30.200
<v Speaker 3>and come back, and all the feeling would still be there,

235
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:32.559
<v Speaker 3>like something cut out one side and pulled all the

236
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:36.000
<v Speaker 3>meat out of saying, that don't sound like a raccoon.

237
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.159
<v Speaker 3>Don't work possible, it's not trued on. So I kept

238
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.960
<v Speaker 3>doing it, and then one day I went out there.

239
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:45.440
<v Speaker 3>I was hunting in the same spot where I put

240
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.440
<v Speaker 3>the oranges out. I climbed up. Somebody had a ladders

241
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.000
<v Speaker 3>here out and the stands, so I climbed up in

242
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.519
<v Speaker 3>there and I was just sitting down. It was getting late,

243
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:56.399
<v Speaker 3>starting to get dark, so I just glanced down and

244
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm seeing a face. It's laying on his belly with

245
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:03.600
<v Speaker 3>his turned it aside and looking right at me. There

246
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:06.279
<v Speaker 3>was a lot of briers and stuff around it. So

247
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm going, this must be paradoia what they talking about.

248
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:14.120
<v Speaker 3>So I kept hunting. Maybe fifteen twenty minutes later, it

249
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:16.879
<v Speaker 3>and still getting dark. So I get down. I said,

250
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:19.039
<v Speaker 3>let me go over there and see. So I get

251
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:21.679
<v Speaker 3>down and I walk over there. The grass is all

252
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.399
<v Speaker 3>matted down, and so I'm sitting there looking around, and

253
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:27.480
<v Speaker 3>then I hear sipedal footsteps. So I look out to

254
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.559
<v Speaker 3>the left and I see which is unusual. I never

255
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:34.440
<v Speaker 3>seen like eight foot tall black stumps before. So I said,

256
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:36.360
<v Speaker 3>let me raise my rifle up. I'm looking at it,

257
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.840
<v Speaker 3>raised my rifle up, scope looking. I don't see it.

258
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:43.519
<v Speaker 3>I put my rifle down. I don't see it disappear.

259
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:47.720
<v Speaker 3>I hear of steps and then I see big tall

260
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:51.360
<v Speaker 3>black something. That face must have been real. It was

261
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:53.919
<v Speaker 3>so subtle. It was almost like if you didn't want

262
00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:56.799
<v Speaker 3>to believe it, or are you questioning yourself to the extreme.

263
00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.559
<v Speaker 3>After a while, I started thinking, I heard the water

264
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:03.480
<v Speaker 3>should where it walked in the swamp. That was my experience,

265
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.759
<v Speaker 3>a seaing one in that area. We've had all kinds

266
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:10.720
<v Speaker 3>of free breaks. I had a coua tree with me

267
00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:12.159
<v Speaker 3>and my own nephew went out there in the middle

268
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.519
<v Speaker 3>of the night. It was broke off twelve foot up

269
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.120
<v Speaker 3>in the air. It was like three to four inches

270
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.440
<v Speaker 3>round and diamond or twelve foot off the air where

271
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 3>it broke off, and I knew it was fresh because

272
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.720
<v Speaker 3>the leaves hadn't even started Wilton yet we hadn't had

273
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:27.759
<v Speaker 3>storms around, and I don't think a storm's called blow

274
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:30.039
<v Speaker 3>the top of the car tree out because it wasn't right.

275
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:32.559
<v Speaker 3>But there was things like this. And then one day

276
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:35.080
<v Speaker 3>me and my wife are going back there and she

277
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.679
<v Speaker 3>finds asterisk. Never seen it, but she's seen it when

278
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:41.240
<v Speaker 3>we passed all ted. It was weird. She set it

279
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.360
<v Speaker 3>off to somebody in Connecticut. He sends her forward just

280
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:47.799
<v Speaker 3>like it from Ohio. I said, that ain't by accident.

281
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:50.799
<v Speaker 3>But there was another structure I had never seen before.

282
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:54.399
<v Speaker 3>I called it a structure, but it was a tree

283
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.639
<v Speaker 3>with the root system. But the dirt ball was gone

284
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:02.360
<v Speaker 3>and it was weaved. Hit it out trees about that big.

285
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:06.759
<v Speaker 1>That's strange, and stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see.

286
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:08.879
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back after these messages.

287
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.120
<v Speaker 3>So I picked it up. I put the one in

288
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.919
<v Speaker 3>it on the ground. I went a week after it

289
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.000
<v Speaker 3>was still on the ground. I went the next week.

290
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:25.320
<v Speaker 3>It was up. What was strange during that His eye

291
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:29.440
<v Speaker 3>was going one time and I seen, and this is

292
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:32.200
<v Speaker 3>a good distant scene. There's a dark spot on the

293
00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:35.919
<v Speaker 3>right which I don't recognize. I'm not gonna say why

294
00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 3>it was because I don't recognize when I make a

295
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:40.799
<v Speaker 3>certain turn in the road. When I started walking to

296
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:44.000
<v Speaker 3>go check on that tree, there's a box turtle in

297
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:47.799
<v Speaker 3>the middle of the road. Okay, maybe it's nothing. I

298
00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:49.360
<v Speaker 3>went back there and picked it back up. I put

299
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:51.960
<v Speaker 3>it back down, and so that the next time I

300
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.279
<v Speaker 3>went to check, nothing was going on. But me and

301
00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:57.440
<v Speaker 3>my wife went another time and it was back up.

302
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:02.960
<v Speaker 3>So we walked in. Can we walk towards, going towards

303
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:06.039
<v Speaker 3>where I've seen it on the deer stand we're walking in,

304
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:09.600
<v Speaker 3>they got a big overgrown crawfish pard on the left.

305
00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:11.879
<v Speaker 3>So we went up on the levee and we sitting

306
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:14.559
<v Speaker 3>there standing looking around, and I hear a real faint

307
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.039
<v Speaker 3>woolf and I asked her, I said, did you hear that?

308
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.000
<v Speaker 3>She says what, I didn't hear nothing. I said it

309
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.399
<v Speaker 3>was a whool She said I didn't hear it. So

310
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.480
<v Speaker 3>we kept walking to the back and we crossed a pipeline.

311
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.840
<v Speaker 3>And this is all in her daddy's property. So we

312
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.399
<v Speaker 3>crossed the pipeline. But on the way to that pipeline,

313
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:36.320
<v Speaker 3>I seen some tree breaks, so I went to get

314
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:39.159
<v Speaker 3>a closer look at him. With tree breaks, they don't

315
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:42.679
<v Speaker 3>twist like that, and this one was twisted. The first

316
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.200
<v Speaker 3>one I seemed twisted. But when I walked up there

317
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:47.320
<v Speaker 3>to look at it, I hear a tree knot. So

318
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.519
<v Speaker 3>I asked her, I said, did you hear that tree note?

319
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:52.759
<v Speaker 3>She says, yeah, I heard it. I said, okay, let's go.

320
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:54.919
<v Speaker 3>So we went over there where I had the oranges out,

321
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.840
<v Speaker 3>and I think I was putting out some more oranges.

322
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:00.799
<v Speaker 3>She'd stayed back a little bit, and by that time

323
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:05.160
<v Speaker 3>she was nervous about being separated, putting any distance between us.

324
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:08.160
<v Speaker 3>We went to where I took a clorox ball and

325
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.839
<v Speaker 3>I panted the green so people wouldn't mess with it.

326
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:14.039
<v Speaker 3>In a tree. A d cap screwed the Origines into

327
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:16.880
<v Speaker 3>the screw raised it up about hay to ten foot.

328
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:19.200
<v Speaker 3>I think I might have been fooling with that. I

329
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:23.440
<v Speaker 3>hear like a log was thrown. I'm talking about the

330
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:26.200
<v Speaker 3>big log was thrown into that called the twenty one

331
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:29.559
<v Speaker 3>inch pikewive. It's actually it's deep into O's water. People

332
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:32.359
<v Speaker 3>travel with boats until they get to where they can't

333
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:34.440
<v Speaker 3>go attle more. So I heard that, and I asked her,

334
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:36.400
<v Speaker 3>did you hear that? She says, yeah, I heard that

335
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:40.079
<v Speaker 3>then all of a sudden, there's a big, humongous scream,

336
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.000
<v Speaker 3>a loud, hot pitch scream. And I said, you heard that.

337
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:46.400
<v Speaker 3>She said yeah, and then she heard it again, which

338
00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:48.559
<v Speaker 3>I didn't hear that, but she said like it was

339
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.880
<v Speaker 3>going away. I said, we need to go, so we

340
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:54.920
<v Speaker 3>started back. When we got to the place where we

341
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.720
<v Speaker 3>heard the whoop that she didn't hear, I said, I'm

342
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:01.400
<v Speaker 3>d a whoop, So I did a faint whoop, and

343
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:03.559
<v Speaker 3>all of a sudden, they didn't happen the right way.

344
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.839
<v Speaker 3>I did it once, and I waited a while, and

345
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:10.359
<v Speaker 3>then maybe two or three minutes, and then I did

346
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.799
<v Speaker 3>it again and nothing. But when I did it the

347
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:18.480
<v Speaker 3>third time we heard we heard it breaking ranches and

348
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:23.119
<v Speaker 3>hidding trees. It kept hitting trees and breaking stuff. It

349
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:25.720
<v Speaker 3>looked like it kept getting further and further away from

350
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.119
<v Speaker 3>So that was her the first experience. She was scared.

351
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:30.680
<v Speaker 3>She said, we need to go. I said, if they

352
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:32.920
<v Speaker 3>wanted to kill us, I think we'd be dead already.

353
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.839
<v Speaker 3>So she wasn't so scared for him. We left out

354
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 3>of there. When we were walking out, remember the area,

355
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:43.160
<v Speaker 3>I said, I found one box turtle. There was two.

356
00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:46.640
<v Speaker 3>There was two of us. It was like they were

357
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.599
<v Speaker 3>gifts in us, and I think they might have been

358
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.359
<v Speaker 3>gifted us. I went there one time by myself. They

359
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:54.759
<v Speaker 3>had one went there together, and they had two not

360
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:57.599
<v Speaker 3>far from there, me and my grandson. They have a

361
00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:59.880
<v Speaker 3>guy who lives up by the highway on front of

362
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.359
<v Speaker 3>the property. It's like the side property of her daddy's property.

363
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:07.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember if he told me or he told somebody.

364
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:09.839
<v Speaker 3>He said he had a young boy and slept in

365
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:13.079
<v Speaker 3>the back of his house with a young child that

366
00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.480
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't sleep in there no more because the red eyed monster,

367
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:19.160
<v Speaker 3>so he had to move him to the front of

368
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:22.000
<v Speaker 3>the house. When I'd walk back there, i'd look around

369
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.119
<v Speaker 3>to see if I can see any signs or so

370
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:27.160
<v Speaker 3>I way over there and I found I don't know

371
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:29.359
<v Speaker 3>if it was a top of the tree broken off

372
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:31.960
<v Speaker 3>or what, but it was like a pull. It was

373
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:34.799
<v Speaker 3>driven into the ground. I took a picture of it.

374
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:37.359
<v Speaker 3>You know, all the trees or root system it doesn't

375
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.839
<v Speaker 3>go like this usually papers down. That all straight down,

376
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:44.559
<v Speaker 3>and all the other trees were tapered. So I looked

377
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:46.319
<v Speaker 3>a ball to see if it could have fell out

378
00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:48.720
<v Speaker 3>of somewhat, but I couldn't see anything. That thing is

379
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:53.079
<v Speaker 3>probably about six inches and dim, but it was been

380
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:55.119
<v Speaker 3>there for a while because I pushed it and just

381
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:58.599
<v Speaker 3>rided off. Tell that's a lot of the stuff that

382
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:02.920
<v Speaker 3>I had happened around here. Now. I talked to different

383
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:07.000
<v Speaker 3>people around the area. I talked to a guy. He

384
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:08.880
<v Speaker 3>was at the park. I'm on the committee at the

385
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:12.559
<v Speaker 3>part recreation commit The guy was over there installing a

386
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.880
<v Speaker 3>gazebo this type of thing out of the blue. Said

387
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.839
<v Speaker 3>you believe in Bigfoot? And I wouldn't expecting this. Oh yeah,

388
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:22.279
<v Speaker 3>said what what makes you believe in Bigfoot? We were

389
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:25.599
<v Speaker 3>at the Godell and we were picking up deer dogs

390
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:28.359
<v Speaker 3>late in evening. It was dark. There was something big

391
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:32.920
<v Speaker 3>and airy running on two legs across the bay from him.

392
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:35.720
<v Speaker 3>He was running through on the spall back. I wasn't

393
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:39.839
<v Speaker 3>expecting that. So one evening me and my wife decided

394
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:43.519
<v Speaker 3>to go over in that area and listen. We went

395
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:45.759
<v Speaker 3>over there late evening, I shouldn't say nice like late

396
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:49.599
<v Speaker 3>and eatings. It's getting dark pretty fast. So I falled

397
00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:52.559
<v Speaker 3>into the area. I think they call it the Godell.

398
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.519
<v Speaker 3>It's like an island and it's splits comes back around

399
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:58.759
<v Speaker 3>together through little bayous and stuff. So we pulled in

400
00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:01.400
<v Speaker 3>there and we just okay. We shut the motor off

401
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:03.400
<v Speaker 3>and me sitting there quiet, and I grabbed a battle

402
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:05.920
<v Speaker 3>and the stick I had in my boat, and I

403
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:09.839
<v Speaker 3>hear hard one time she starts saying what I said.

404
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:13.079
<v Speaker 3>What she said, something's walking towards the boat. She said,

405
00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:17.079
<v Speaker 3>it sounds like it's bubbling. I said, bobble. So I

406
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:19.000
<v Speaker 3>started listening. I can hear it, but it would sounded

407
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:22.119
<v Speaker 3>like it was water dripping off of it. Now, during

408
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:24.440
<v Speaker 3>that time, there's a lot of high water and a

409
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:27.240
<v Speaker 3>lot of poald metas are in there, so anything that

410
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:31.960
<v Speaker 3>was inside was wet, you know, walking it walked to

411
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:34.880
<v Speaker 3>the back like we're facing out, facing up river, and

412
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.519
<v Speaker 3>she's in the back. It's walking like towards the back

413
00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:39.839
<v Speaker 3>of the boat, towards her, and you can hear it.

414
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:42.720
<v Speaker 3>And then it turns in parallels is and you can

415
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:45.599
<v Speaker 3>hear it dripping off of it and just walking past this,

416
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:49.400
<v Speaker 3>and she got scared and we took off headed to

417
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:53.839
<v Speaker 3>the house. That's our event. My hunting leaves in Louisiana.

418
00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:58.039
<v Speaker 3>Now I can't get away from them. So I joined

419
00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:01.200
<v Speaker 3>the Saint Louis Hunting Club and in flack. I think

420
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:04.160
<v Speaker 3>the first year they all made fun of me. I

421
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:06.279
<v Speaker 3>share a big foot with everybody. I don't care they

422
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:09.599
<v Speaker 3>make fun, Go have your time. They'd go out there

423
00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:12.799
<v Speaker 3>in the back of the camp scream like big foot

424
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:15.759
<v Speaker 3>and stuff, and I joined in with them and they laugh.

425
00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:20.319
<v Speaker 3>So we have it fun. So the first year hunted,

426
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:23.759
<v Speaker 3>there was pretty much nothing going on. But the second year,

427
00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:28.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm sitting they call it the Rickeys Road. I'm hunting

428
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:31.000
<v Speaker 3>that area, and I put me a stand in the woods.

429
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:33.599
<v Speaker 3>I was in there and I seen some deer, so

430
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:35.319
<v Speaker 3>I went over there and put me a lock on

431
00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:37.759
<v Speaker 3>a tree stand. I was up there, it was late,

432
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.440
<v Speaker 3>it was dark, and I heard some knocks, but you

433
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:43.839
<v Speaker 3>gotta be careful over it because they got big plametas,

434
00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:46.240
<v Speaker 3>they got big leaves, and a hate corn could fall

435
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:47.920
<v Speaker 3>out of the tree, and you got to be able

436
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:51.519
<v Speaker 3>to differentiate. But it wasn't alloud knocks. So I went out,

437
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:54.559
<v Speaker 3>got them up full wheeler, and I started driving out

438
00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:56.480
<v Speaker 3>where they have the place they called the Elbow, which

439
00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:59.279
<v Speaker 3>is a ninety druey turn on the road. They all

440
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:02.640
<v Speaker 3>call it Elbow. So I'm going over there and I

441
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:06.119
<v Speaker 3>see a rather and I just stop. I smell something.

442
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:10.720
<v Speaker 3>It smells like really bad human body over it when

443
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:14.400
<v Speaker 3>it's going in my direction. So that was the first occurrence.

444
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.279
<v Speaker 3>The second one was maybe a year later. I was

445
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:22.200
<v Speaker 3>hunting in my tree, standing well. I can hear like

446
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:27.000
<v Speaker 3>a buck off in the distance is running. I'm mimic

447
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:31.160
<v Speaker 3>him with my mouth. So I started replying to he

448
00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:36.079
<v Speaker 3>started reply whatever. His starts coming in towards me on

449
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:40.160
<v Speaker 3>my left and I'm sitting looking this way. I'm going

450
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:42.240
<v Speaker 3>at this thing's coming out. So I got my rightle

451
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:44.559
<v Speaker 3>on my lap and I'm getting ready. I got to

452
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:46.440
<v Speaker 3>the edge and I was there to shut down, would

453
00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:49.200
<v Speaker 3>not do nothing. Maybe he seeing me or whatever. Maybe

454
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:53.039
<v Speaker 3>it wasn't a gear. So I'm sitting there wait for this.

455
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.839
<v Speaker 3>I hear to my right in his thicket. I hear

456
00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:01.200
<v Speaker 3>something trying to mimic me, but doing the same call,

457
00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:04.160
<v Speaker 3>but with a greater power than what I could ever

458
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:08.920
<v Speaker 3>do with my mouth. And I'm going what. Then it

459
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:11.480
<v Speaker 3>does it again, but it's got a high pitch squeal

460
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:16.400
<v Speaker 3>in between the clicks. I'm going, that ain't no deer. Yeah.

461
00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Right after that, I start hearing the branches break and

462
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:22.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm not talking about little shrugs. I'm talking about big

463
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.599
<v Speaker 3>branches breaking. I said, that ain't normal. I said, maybe

464
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:29.839
<v Speaker 3>they got a deer camp. Maybe I'm hearing them cleaning

465
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:33.079
<v Speaker 3>their lot. So I'll leave out there and I get

466
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:35.240
<v Speaker 3>back to the camp and i'll get that guy sworn over.

467
00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:37.079
<v Speaker 3>I called him yesterd y'all, I've been clear of that

468
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:40.599
<v Speaker 3>lot over there, and it's probably maybe three or four

469
00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:43.960
<v Speaker 3>hundred yards from it. Oh no, I said, so I

470
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:46.720
<v Speaker 3>heard y'all talking, but you always sound like you are

471
00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:49.000
<v Speaker 3>breaking branches and stuff. He said, no, we were just

472
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:52.160
<v Speaker 3>cleaning the deer. He said, we weren't even cleaning up

473
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:53.920
<v Speaker 3>around the camp. I thought they might be cleaning up

474
00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:55.839
<v Speaker 3>around and I asked him. They said, no, we weren't

475
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:59.440
<v Speaker 3>cleaning up round the cats. So I think they were

476
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:02.559
<v Speaker 3>right there. I'm going to tell you another story. Chase

477
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:06.759
<v Speaker 3>Landry Troy Landry son from Swamp People. When I tell

478
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:08.920
<v Speaker 3>you go around talking to people and asking him questions.

479
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:12.839
<v Speaker 3>I asked Troy Landry one time. He says, Chase, seeing something,

480
00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:15.599
<v Speaker 3>you ought to talk to him. And I think that's

481
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:17.799
<v Speaker 3>how I got invited to be on the show. He

482
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:19.759
<v Speaker 3>gave me the stone number. I talked to him. For

483
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.759
<v Speaker 3>a good bet you an hour and a half, possibly

484
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:25.680
<v Speaker 3>two hours about what he's seen, like the cruise slides

485
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:28.720
<v Speaker 3>from where we hunt, maybe five miles at the most

486
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:32.279
<v Speaker 3>through the swamps, probably closer. But I talked to him

487
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:35.240
<v Speaker 3>on the phone and he told me everything that happened.

488
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:40.799
<v Speaker 3>So he also did an interview a year or so later.

489
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.279
<v Speaker 3>Everything matched, so I knew he wouldn't tell the no fields.

490
00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:48.079
<v Speaker 3>Everything matched perfect like when I did I look discussion

491
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:50.480
<v Speaker 3>with it. He did an interviewer on the show. It

492
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:54.119
<v Speaker 3>was too for tat. So what happened with him? He

493
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:57.640
<v Speaker 3>was at the place called Horseshoe Buy You. I had

494
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:00.960
<v Speaker 3>a go now where in an earlier story about the

495
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:03.799
<v Speaker 3>guy that's seen Harry creature running while he's picking up

496
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.160
<v Speaker 3>his deer dogs within probably half a mile. He was

497
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:10.079
<v Speaker 3>over there frogging one night. I think he was coming back.

498
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:12.680
<v Speaker 3>He's seen two red eyes about three or four foot

499
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:15.319
<v Speaker 3>off the ground. So he went home. He told his

500
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:17.920
<v Speaker 3>dad he said, I seen two red eyes about three

501
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:20.039
<v Speaker 3>or four foot off the ground. He said there's probably

502
00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:21.720
<v Speaker 3>a path because of the benlow on the ground, that

503
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:24.119
<v Speaker 3>we ought to put a camera out there. He goes

504
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:28.440
<v Speaker 3>back another night during his first incident. The guy's real sharp.

505
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:31.839
<v Speaker 3>He notices and takes things in and he says, when

506
00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:35.000
<v Speaker 3>you shine on, you know, a light on the alligator,

507
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:37.920
<v Speaker 3>they usually like turn and they look at it. Watch

508
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.000
<v Speaker 3>you see their eyes. He said, this one never turned

509
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.240
<v Speaker 3>and he was looking in the direction of those eyes

510
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:50.960
<v Speaker 3>on that pith. He went back. Another time he was frogging,

511
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:53.960
<v Speaker 3>and he said he was coming back. He said, I

512
00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:57.720
<v Speaker 3>do something different. It's nothing normal way of frogging, but

513
00:26:57.880 --> 00:26:59.960
<v Speaker 3>some people do and I do it because he look

514
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:02.839
<v Speaker 3>back after I passed, And a lot of times I'll

515
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:05.160
<v Speaker 3>pick up a frog that I couldn't see when I

516
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:08.440
<v Speaker 3>was going. He did that, and when he did, he

517
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:11.559
<v Speaker 3>was like fifteen feet from this thing. It was a

518
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:14.680
<v Speaker 3>dog man. When he started describing it to me, I'm

519
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:16.839
<v Speaker 3>going what it looks like. It looked like a linebacker,

520
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:20.240
<v Speaker 3>he said, about seven feet tall. He said, was hugging

521
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:24.920
<v Speaker 3>the tree like he was down streamed for his approach,

522
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:28.279
<v Speaker 3>like it was hiding behind the tree. He said, he

523
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:30.880
<v Speaker 3>had his arm down on one side. He was hugging

524
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:34.319
<v Speaker 3>the tree. And it makes sense because when he flipped

525
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:37.839
<v Speaker 3>his lighter around, this thing was just high from probably

526
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:40.400
<v Speaker 3>didn't see that happened very often. Probably he would have

527
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:43.720
<v Speaker 3>made an adjustment for it. But he said when I

528
00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:46.480
<v Speaker 3>slipped my light around, he was right there. I had

529
00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:48.599
<v Speaker 3>my life on it. He said he had a small waist.

530
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:51.440
<v Speaker 3>He about seven foot tall. He had brought his shoulders

531
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:55.039
<v Speaker 3>and he said it scared me. Like I said, the

532
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:58.240
<v Speaker 3>story he told on his interview was pretty accurate. He

533
00:27:58.319 --> 00:28:00.200
<v Speaker 3>went in a lot more detail when I just went

534
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.359
<v Speaker 3>through it, but it was a good story. Now I

535
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:05.400
<v Speaker 3>hunted not far from there with my grandson the box,

536
00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:08.119
<v Speaker 3>and I still don't know what I've seen, but it

537
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:10.279
<v Speaker 3>was like we were looking for deer. They had some

538
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:12.799
<v Speaker 3>briar thickets and they had to opening between him and

539
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:17.799
<v Speaker 3>something black and flashed across there so fast. That's I

540
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:21.279
<v Speaker 3>should have heard footsteps. I hear nothing now. Could have

541
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:24.200
<v Speaker 3>been a path possibly, but it didn't get me that

542
00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:28.519
<v Speaker 3>impression because the hair looked long, black and shiny. I

543
00:28:28.599 --> 00:28:31.359
<v Speaker 3>think I covered most of what I've seen in Louisiana

544
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:34.519
<v Speaker 3>on the old man in his eighties named Russell. They

545
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:39.720
<v Speaker 3>catching catfish with nets because of the mayflies sitting on

546
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:41.920
<v Speaker 3>the water and a catfish coming up and feed, so

547
00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:46.920
<v Speaker 3>they drifting down. Fis should buy you catching catfish where

548
00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:48.640
<v Speaker 3>he looks with his light off to the left, and

549
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:51.960
<v Speaker 3>he had some six foot willows, young willow trees, and

550
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.480
<v Speaker 3>he sees this thing. I think he sees his head.

551
00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:59.519
<v Speaker 3>Then he stands up like another six foot in the

552
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:03.279
<v Speaker 3>willows and jumps in to buy it, and swims underwater

553
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:06.920
<v Speaker 3>and comes up like fifteen twenty feet from his boat,

554
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:10.240
<v Speaker 3>and they look an eyeball to eyeball and they say

555
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Doug goes back underwater, crosses the fisher by, hits the

556
00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:17.480
<v Speaker 3>back and it starts running through the woods. Then there

557
00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:20.039
<v Speaker 3>was three people in the boat, which brings me to

558
00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:23.519
<v Speaker 3>another story. In the same area, a friend of mine

559
00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:27.039
<v Speaker 3>was they were going duck hunt it around the same time.

560
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:29.319
<v Speaker 3>It was in the same area. They were going to

561
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:32.480
<v Speaker 3>camp out and duck hut. They were got to camp

562
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:34.559
<v Speaker 3>on the levee and then I think they were till

563
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:38.480
<v Speaker 3>hunt and go till hunting in the morning. So they

564
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:40.400
<v Speaker 3>got all their gear together and they drove out there

565
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:42.799
<v Speaker 3>in their boat and it's probably like a twenty minute

566
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:45.319
<v Speaker 3>boat ride. They find the area they want to camp.

567
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.039
<v Speaker 3>They had a camp there, but they had all cleaned

568
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:50.039
<v Speaker 3>the boat. Said this is a good spot. Nobody's in

569
00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:52.680
<v Speaker 3>the camp, but the glasses weren't broke out of the

570
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:55.559
<v Speaker 3>camp and the back door was pushed in it. So

571
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:59.279
<v Speaker 3>they going, hey, just don't even fitch are tent. Let's

572
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:01.519
<v Speaker 3>go sleep in the ca Nobody stay there, So they

573
00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:02.720
<v Speaker 3>go ahead and they stay there.

574
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:06.359
<v Speaker 1>And stay tuned for more sasquatch out to see we'll

575
00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:08.799
<v Speaker 1>be right back. After these messages.

576
00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:16.839
<v Speaker 3>That night, they all got a really bad uncomfortable feeling,

577
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:19.920
<v Speaker 3>all four of them. I think they were hearing some

578
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:23.160
<v Speaker 3>noises like around camp where they didn't sleep at all

579
00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:24.920
<v Speaker 3>that night. I think they got it. The next morning

580
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:28.559
<v Speaker 3>they made their aunt and they decided to go. They

581
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:31.759
<v Speaker 3>didn't want to camp there, so he wanted to go

582
00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:35.400
<v Speaker 3>I think the next weekend and him had. He tried

583
00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:38.599
<v Speaker 3>to talk to the other three and two of them

584
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:41.359
<v Speaker 3>said they're definitely not going back. But one of them

585
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.079
<v Speaker 3>decided he'll go with them. So they go back. They

586
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:49.240
<v Speaker 3>go to the camp and they decide I think they

587
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:51.480
<v Speaker 3>pitched that tent in the out camp the first time.

588
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:54.680
<v Speaker 3>They decided, all let's talk pieces of tent, will put

589
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:58.039
<v Speaker 3>this vinyl flooring in that broken window and we'll stay

590
00:30:58.079 --> 00:31:00.319
<v Speaker 3>in that room. And then he went to the back door.

591
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:01.839
<v Speaker 3>He said it took two of them to pick up

592
00:31:01.880 --> 00:31:04.279
<v Speaker 3>the back door. They took it, and they took the

593
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:07.000
<v Speaker 3>back door and leaned it like it's falling out the

594
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:10.640
<v Speaker 3>camp against the wall. So they went to bed that night,

595
00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:12.640
<v Speaker 3>he said. Then all of a sudden they were hearing

596
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:17.400
<v Speaker 3>runts or heavy walking and stuff. They couldn't see out

597
00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:20.640
<v Speaker 3>what was going on. He said, something went by the door. Now,

598
00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:22.680
<v Speaker 3>they said the camp was like four foot off the ground,

599
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:25.599
<v Speaker 3>so whatever hit the door like he did, probably was

600
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:27.960
<v Speaker 3>about eight foot tall, what he would think, but it

601
00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:30.480
<v Speaker 3>hit the door and knocked the all way in the

602
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:33.559
<v Speaker 3>hall way down on the other side. Two minute to

603
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:36.720
<v Speaker 3>pick up, so he said, they waited around. They loaded

604
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:38.680
<v Speaker 3>their shotguns and they hollered out it all, we don't

605
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:40.000
<v Speaker 3>know where you are, but if you come in here,

606
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.000
<v Speaker 3>we're going to kill you. They finally got a nerved

607
00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:43.279
<v Speaker 3>out of their lights and they went out of the

608
00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:46.759
<v Speaker 3>front porch. They walked close to the by or something,

609
00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:49.079
<v Speaker 3>and they felt, he said, the ground shook like somebody

610
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:51.359
<v Speaker 3>took a big chunce of a concrete and slammed it

611
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:54.319
<v Speaker 3>again against the ground. And he never could understand that

612
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:58.039
<v Speaker 3>he was taking the place was haughty. I told her

613
00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:00.599
<v Speaker 3>what happened to me in West Virginia. Once they had

614
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:03.039
<v Speaker 3>a footstop. I said it shooped the ground and what

615
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:06.799
<v Speaker 3>it was he said, but they heard grunting and walking

616
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:09.960
<v Speaker 3>like byd pitle walk. And then he told me about

617
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:12.279
<v Speaker 3>the guy that old camp one in the group do

618
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:14.559
<v Speaker 3>to the guy, they found him dead in there with

619
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:18.119
<v Speaker 3>a heart attack. Now whatever gave him the art attack

620
00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:21.000
<v Speaker 3>knocked the door into real Gwenda's nobody knows, but that's

621
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:23.160
<v Speaker 3>where they found a guy dead with a heart attack.

622
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:25.319
<v Speaker 1>I want to go back and talk a little bit

623
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:28.920
<v Speaker 1>about some of the experiences you had early on. This

624
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:33.200
<v Speaker 1>is completely subjective, obviously, but what is your opinion on

625
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:36.400
<v Speaker 1>two things that have stuck out to me doing this

626
00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:40.480
<v Speaker 1>for so long and even my own experiences. The wood

627
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:45.359
<v Speaker 1>knocks and the tree structures are tree breaks? Do you

628
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:48.279
<v Speaker 1>think that these tree knocks are some sort of communication

629
00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:50.559
<v Speaker 1>that's going on between these things? Do you think it's

630
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:54.039
<v Speaker 1>something that they do to maybe intimidate people like us

631
00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:56.200
<v Speaker 1>that are in their area. And what do you make

632
00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:59.240
<v Speaker 1>of the tree breaks? Do you think these things are

633
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:02.279
<v Speaker 1>doing these as some sort of a warning maybe for

634
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:04.480
<v Speaker 1>people entering their area, or do you think there's some

635
00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:07.400
<v Speaker 1>sort of a marker. What is your opinion on the

636
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:09.720
<v Speaker 1>tree knocks and the tree breaks and what they're doing

637
00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:12.839
<v Speaker 1>or what they mean in context.

638
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:15.119
<v Speaker 3>With these creatures. I don't have a clue. I've had

639
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:18.720
<v Speaker 3>seen exes down here, and I've seen x'es in West Virginia.

640
00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:23.319
<v Speaker 3>I've seen bows tree bez asteris the one my wife

641
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:26.480
<v Speaker 3>found out on a property. We've seen some in the

642
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:30.400
<v Speaker 3>canals and bayous along the edge of the bayous that

643
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:34.599
<v Speaker 3>looked like they were beginnings of pasteris. We've seen x'es

644
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.960
<v Speaker 3>all over here. In fact, on the Troy's Landers show

645
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:39.720
<v Speaker 3>we used the X in the chill. It was a

646
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:42.519
<v Speaker 3>huge one. I don't know. In Troy you could talk

647
00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:45.359
<v Speaker 3>about the show. What's that for? I don't know. Never

648
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:47.559
<v Speaker 3>sat down at the day Well. I talked to one

649
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:51.079
<v Speaker 3>and I've never seen him Bill want. I think it's

650
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:55.279
<v Speaker 3>some type of communication. Whether it's for us or whether

651
00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:57.519
<v Speaker 3>it's for them, I don't know. But I know this,

652
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:01.720
<v Speaker 3>whenever we went and video or that took pictures of them,

653
00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:04.160
<v Speaker 3>they'd come back down that one we did it on

654
00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:06.400
<v Speaker 3>the show, they'd throw her down. Before we did our

655
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:09.559
<v Speaker 3>second shooting went out, there was down my friend took

656
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:13.440
<v Speaker 3>pictures and was in West Virginia. They came down and

657
00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:15.079
<v Speaker 3>then they had been up there for a couple of

658
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:17.800
<v Speaker 3>years and all of a sudden he would take pictures

659
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:19.920
<v Speaker 3>and video and all that. They came down in the

660
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:22.559
<v Speaker 3>one over here on Troy's show, they did the same bank.

661
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:24.960
<v Speaker 3>We went out there to reshoot some things. It was gone.

662
00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:27.559
<v Speaker 3>They had to use an old video from the first shoot.

663
00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:31.920
<v Speaker 3>So is that coincidence? It communicates something. I don't know

664
00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:34.440
<v Speaker 3>what it is. Treat breaks. To me, a treat break

665
00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:37.679
<v Speaker 3>is like a demonstration of strength. Glad, dad, go break

666
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:39.599
<v Speaker 3>you a few shill You're not going to do it.

667
00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:42.800
<v Speaker 3>Maybe they're they're showing us, look you mess with me

668
00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:44.239
<v Speaker 3>a snippy little pencil knack.

669
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:48.119
<v Speaker 1>It's definitely more difficult than people would imagine. Because I

670
00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:51.599
<v Speaker 1>went out. It was October of twenty twenty three. I

671
00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:54.039
<v Speaker 1>was up in Canada. I went out on an expedition

672
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:56.840
<v Speaker 1>with Todd standing up in his area and radium there

673
00:34:57.840 --> 00:35:00.920
<v Speaker 1>and I tried to break probably two two and a

674
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:04.639
<v Speaker 1>half inch sapling at a height of a little over

675
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:06.880
<v Speaker 1>six feet. I was able to do it, but it

676
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:09.800
<v Speaker 1>took a lot of pressure, way more pressure than I

677
00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:12.000
<v Speaker 1>thought it was going to take because I thought I

678
00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:14.559
<v Speaker 1>could just take this two inch sapling and just snap

679
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:18.400
<v Speaker 1>it easily. I'm a fairly strong guy. I don't work

680
00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:21.400
<v Speaker 1>out every single day, but I've got a pretty good

681
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:24.199
<v Speaker 1>upper body strength, and it took me some doing to

682
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:26.079
<v Speaker 1>do that to break it at about six and a

683
00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:28.480
<v Speaker 1>half feet. I'm about six foot two, so I was

684
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:31.119
<v Speaker 1>probably reaching up another six or eight inches to break

685
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:34.480
<v Speaker 1>this thing, and it wasn't easy to do. And I've

686
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:37.840
<v Speaker 1>never been able to really figure out outside of some

687
00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:42.639
<v Speaker 1>sort of a marker or communication for them, it wouldn't

688
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:45.920
<v Speaker 1>make sense that they're doing it for us, because how

689
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:48.199
<v Speaker 1>would we interpret that, how would we know what they meant?

690
00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you. I think it's more of a

691
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:54.960
<v Speaker 1>communication with them. The rock clacking or the stick hitting

692
00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:57.920
<v Speaker 1>another tree, whatever they're doing with these tree knocks, it

693
00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:00.760
<v Speaker 1>seems to be some sort of communication with them. I

694
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:04.079
<v Speaker 1>think it's very interesting that you mentioned the turtles in

695
00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:07.360
<v Speaker 1>the middle of the road. That's the first thing that

696
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I experienced here on our property in North Carolina that

697
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I think was related to these creatures was this weird

698
00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:17.480
<v Speaker 1>box TURTLESHLL that was stuck into the side of a

699
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:20.639
<v Speaker 1>stump off to the right of a trail that we

700
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:22.719
<v Speaker 1>walked the dogs on every day, and that was really

701
00:36:23.159 --> 00:36:25.639
<v Speaker 1>outside of the vocalizations that we heard. The first thing

702
00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:28.360
<v Speaker 1>that I felt was maybe an interaction with these things,

703
00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:30.960
<v Speaker 1>and I've heard that from other people. As soon as

704
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:33.119
<v Speaker 1>that happened to me, I started doing research and I'm like,

705
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:36.480
<v Speaker 1>is there a bigfoot activity that seems to be related

706
00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:40.599
<v Speaker 1>to turtles. So many people came out of the woodwork saying, yeah,

707
00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:44.280
<v Speaker 1>they've gifted us turtle shells on the stump that we

708
00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:48.000
<v Speaker 1>leave apples and oranges and other things for these creatures.

709
00:36:48.039 --> 00:36:52.199
<v Speaker 1>So that's a very interesting thing. One of the most

710
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:58.400
<v Speaker 1>aggressive encounters that I've ever documented came out of Louisiana.

711
00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:02.360
<v Speaker 1>It was probably episode six or seven of the show,

712
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:05.679
<v Speaker 1>so it was back in probably twenty twenty one when

713
00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I interviewed Tyler from Louisiana. They were out in an

714
00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:11.360
<v Speaker 1>area and they had coon dogs. I believe it was

715
00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:14.000
<v Speaker 1>that they were out hunting with and one of these

716
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:17.599
<v Speaker 1>creatures killed one of their dogs, basically stomped it to death.

717
00:37:18.360 --> 00:37:20.400
<v Speaker 1>So that seems to be a theme that has ran

718
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:24.440
<v Speaker 1>through at least in the Southern United States Southeastern United States,

719
00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:28.639
<v Speaker 1>where I've grown up and still live. Is these aggressive

720
00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:33.159
<v Speaker 1>encounters with dogs? It's funny you mentioned the Obviously, it

721
00:37:33.239 --> 00:37:35.960
<v Speaker 1>seems like Chase possibly had some sort of an encounter

722
00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:38.800
<v Speaker 1>with a dog man and you guys heard what sounded

723
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:43.360
<v Speaker 1>like canines either chasing an animal or maybe trying to hunt.

724
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:45.440
<v Speaker 3>Down a deer. Here's the question for you.

725
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Have you heard of or seen other experiences from other

726
00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:52.280
<v Speaker 1>people in that area that seemed to be more aggressive

727
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:55.599
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to dogs or even people that you've

728
00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:58.119
<v Speaker 1>been able to document in talking to people and some

729
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:01.360
<v Speaker 1>of your research into this phenomenon in your area.

730
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:05.519
<v Speaker 3>No, I've been around deer hunters. Aren't with dogs a

731
00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:09.400
<v Speaker 3>lot in hall hunters. They never mentioned the incident like

732
00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:13.360
<v Speaker 3>that occurring. No, I can't say. I have now some

733
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:17.199
<v Speaker 3>stuff that happened in West Virginia to demonstrate how I

734
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:20.320
<v Speaker 3>think strong these things are. They had an old man

735
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:22.840
<v Speaker 3>that lived in a hollow Grant hears in the house

736
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:24.559
<v Speaker 3>up and that holler. But the only way you can

737
00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:27.280
<v Speaker 3>get in there is you have to go through a

738
00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:31.199
<v Speaker 3>gate that goes hundred trustle for train tracks, and he

739
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:34.519
<v Speaker 3>had horses back there. He went back there one day

740
00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:37.280
<v Speaker 3>his horse was dead, so he loaded it up and

741
00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:38.960
<v Speaker 3>he hauled to the back of it. It's like a

742
00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:41.239
<v Speaker 3>little valley in that hallowed what they used to have

743
00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:43.960
<v Speaker 3>the homes. He hauled all the way back to the end.

744
00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:48.119
<v Speaker 3>An hour later it was gone. Now who's gonna carry

745
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:50.280
<v Speaker 3>off the big horse? And who's gonna carry it up

746
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:52.800
<v Speaker 3>them steep mountains they got up there. You can't only

747
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:56.960
<v Speaker 3>crawl up them mountains. Something got that horse out of there.

748
00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:01.119
<v Speaker 3>And then there was another incident. My wife stopped, had

749
00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:05.239
<v Speaker 3>the bowfish on, and we ran into two locals. One

750
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:07.159
<v Speaker 3>was on a side by side wall was on a

751
00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:10.000
<v Speaker 3>foot whether and I was just boking fun. They had

752
00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:13.039
<v Speaker 3>that side of their called big foot washir or something,

753
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:15.280
<v Speaker 3>and I just made fun. I said, y'all be careful

754
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:18.320
<v Speaker 3>that bigfoot up kidding. Oh, I don't believe in that.

755
00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:21.000
<v Speaker 3>I said, why is that? He said, we just we

756
00:39:21.159 --> 00:39:23.159
<v Speaker 3>have it. Sting one. I said, I've seen a dead

757
00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:26.639
<v Speaker 3>deer over there at Spice Creek that was pushed up

758
00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:29.039
<v Speaker 3>under the bushes. I couldn't find an aarow bullet hole

759
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:32.079
<v Speaker 3>or nothing in it. And my friend hurt some power

760
00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:35.119
<v Speaker 3>down in there, and then I could see their wheels turned.

761
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:39.119
<v Speaker 3>I said it. Oh, I said, what he said, be

762
00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:42.199
<v Speaker 3>in my part and we found a big bear dead.

763
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:45.280
<v Speaker 3>He said, we skinned it because it was a fresh kill.

764
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:47.920
<v Speaker 3>He said, it wasn't a bullet ole and mark or

765
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:50.519
<v Speaker 3>nothing on that big bear, and said it was huge.

766
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:55.000
<v Speaker 3>I said, well, y'all find that bear bottom of Spice Creek.

767
00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:58.639
<v Speaker 3>I said, would that beaver dams? Yeah, that's where I

768
00:39:58.679 --> 00:40:02.000
<v Speaker 3>found the dough What could kill a big bear? It's powerful.

769
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I definitely don't believe in any kind of coincidence.

770
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:08.639
<v Speaker 1>That's one thing that I've said over the years when

771
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:11.559
<v Speaker 1>it comes to the totality of the circumstance when it

772
00:40:11.599 --> 00:40:14.719
<v Speaker 1>comes to these creatures. If you're finding that in that area,

773
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:17.440
<v Speaker 1>they're finding a big bear that's been killed by something

774
00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:21.599
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't seem natural. When you put all those things together,

775
00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:23.639
<v Speaker 1>I think it points in one direction. And I think

776
00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:27.159
<v Speaker 1>if you ignore that, you're doing yourself and everybody around

777
00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:29.639
<v Speaker 1>you a disservice. Because I think these things are in

778
00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:34.480
<v Speaker 1>more places than most people would think they are. It's

779
00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:37.039
<v Speaker 1>definitely an interesting thing. It definitely keeps me coming back

780
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:38.639
<v Speaker 1>for more. And I think one of the things that

781
00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:41.360
<v Speaker 1>I've learned from talking to so many people over the

782
00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:45.400
<v Speaker 1>years is you look back in hindsight and you say

783
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:49.280
<v Speaker 1>things that seemed normal at the time, or things that

784
00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:52.679
<v Speaker 1>you dismissed at the time. Do you find yourself looking

785
00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:55.840
<v Speaker 1>back and thinking, man, that one time I heard this

786
00:40:56.000 --> 00:40:57.679
<v Speaker 1>in the woods, could it have been.

787
00:40:57.639 --> 00:41:00.519
<v Speaker 3>Related to a bigfoot? Possibly?

788
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:03.719
<v Speaker 1>I've done that for myself. Do you find yourself doing

789
00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:06.039
<v Speaker 1>that looking back over the years of hunting and you

790
00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:08.639
<v Speaker 1>think about things that happened that maybe you heard or

791
00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:11.960
<v Speaker 1>smelled or even seen that you didn't consider that it

792
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:14.960
<v Speaker 1>was possible sasquatch activity at the time. Do you look

793
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:17.639
<v Speaker 1>back in retrospect and say, man, that might have been

794
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:18.480
<v Speaker 1>bigfoot related.

795
00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:21.639
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Yeah, right there where I found a deer. My

796
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:24.719
<v Speaker 3>friend huntered below me, and it had a big screen.

797
00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:27.960
<v Speaker 3>He was far enough away from me I didn't hear it,

798
00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:30.239
<v Speaker 3>but he mentioned it to me. They had a tree

799
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:32.039
<v Speaker 3>stand that was tore out of the tree, you know,

800
00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:34.320
<v Speaker 3>bin up on the ground. I don't think bears do that.

801
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:36.119
<v Speaker 3>They might jump up and down and knock it down.

802
00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:38.960
<v Speaker 3>He said it was all bent up. But we used

803
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:41.199
<v Speaker 3>to talk. Just to what I used to hear. I'll

804
00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:44.039
<v Speaker 3>hear rock clacks, you know what. I would write that

805
00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:47.679
<v Speaker 3>off as squirrels cracking nuts and haycorns on the rocks,

806
00:41:48.159 --> 00:41:50.519
<v Speaker 3>just stuff like that. I would think somebody was down

807
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:53.519
<v Speaker 3>at the bottom of that holler chopping wood. I know

808
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:56.119
<v Speaker 3>they got down there in way you'd go away down

809
00:41:56.159 --> 00:41:59.119
<v Speaker 3>there to chop wood. I did that a couple of times.

810
00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:03.119
<v Speaker 3>Will you here's the logically, try to think about what

811
00:42:03.280 --> 00:42:06.639
<v Speaker 3>it is, make excuses, and not really question it.

812
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, definitely, I think it happens to all of us, Man, John.

813
00:42:11.480 --> 00:42:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't thank you enough for coming on and sharing

814
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:16.360
<v Speaker 1>your experiences and the things that you've experienced over the years.

815
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:19.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it's been fantastic, man, and I love Southeastern

816
00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:23.480
<v Speaker 1>United States encounters. That's literally why I started the show

817
00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:25.119
<v Speaker 1>was to be able to talk to people like you

818
00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:28.159
<v Speaker 1>in the Southern United States, where I've been born and raised.

819
00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:30.599
<v Speaker 1>I think it's important to get those encounters out there

820
00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:33.000
<v Speaker 1>because there's so many people that don't believe these things

821
00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:38.599
<v Speaker 1>exist in Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee. I think it's

822
00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:41.440
<v Speaker 1>important to document these encounters because I think they are

823
00:42:41.559 --> 00:42:44.880
<v Speaker 1>in places that people don't expect them to be. I

824
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:47.039
<v Speaker 1>can't thank you enough for coming on and sharing your experiences.

825
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:48.159
<v Speaker 1>I've had a blast talking to you.

826
00:42:48.639 --> 00:42:50.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Brian, I had a good time too.

827
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:56.119
<v Speaker 4>They say you don't gotta go home, but you can't

828
00:42:56.199 --> 00:43:05.920
<v Speaker 4>stay and I don't want to feel a world open.

829
00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:33.199
<v Speaker 5>Steps. Try this child, that child everything. Can you ride back?

830
00:43:33.639 --> 00:43:35.519
<v Speaker 5>Ride back, joy for.
