A mother hiking with her two children near St. Louis spots a face watching them from the brush. Then the figure stands up. On this episode of Bigfoot Society, Lori recounts an encounter on Missouri’s Howell Island that left her focused on one thing: getting her children back to the truck. What she noticed about the figure’s face makes her account especially unsettling. More witnesses share unexplained experiences across the country: an Oregon firefighter-paramedic hears screams during a nighttime emergency call, a Georgia fisherman watches a massive figure cross the Chattahoochee River in roughly three steps, and two trail cameras disappear from a baited site while the remaining camera is found turned around. In Texas, hunters following a blood trail discover a strange footprint and hear a nearby farmer’s story about the field he stopped entering.

[0:43] Speaker 2: Hey, Marcus, how's it going?
[0:46] Speaker 3: What's up, brother?
[0:47] Speaker 4: Hey, so you've had a Bigfoot sighting, you said?
[0:51] Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
[0:52] Speaker 4: Feel free to share what you've experienced down in North Georgia.
[0:57] Speaker 3: Man, my family, they've been going up there for years
[1:02] Speaker 3: doing trout fishing extravaganzas and such. And we were up
[1:07] Speaker 3: there fishing on the Chattahoochee River. You know, in trout fishing,
[1:12] Speaker 3: you sort of.
[1:14] Speaker 5: Just.
[1:16] Speaker 3: You all stay together, but you sort of stay apart
[1:18] Speaker 3: so you don't, you know, overcrowd a fishing hole or whatnot, yada, yada.
[1:21] Speaker 3: But anyway, we were up there fishing, though, and we
[1:24] Speaker 3: were like, I don't know, five to ten miles from,
[1:30] Speaker 3: you know, civilization. It was up in the mountains. Anyway,
[1:32] Speaker 3: I was walking and come around a bend in the river,
[1:38] Speaker 3: and I seen something I thought was a bear. It
[1:43] Speaker 3: was probably, I don't know, 50 yards maybe up the
[1:47] Speaker 3: river or down. I was walking down the river, so
[1:49] Speaker 3: it was down the river from me. So I stopped
[1:52] Speaker 3: in fear of, you know, disturbing a bear, a black bear,
[1:56] Speaker 3: because there's black bear everywhere up there. And so I
[2:00] Speaker 3: just stopped. And, of course, when I trout fish, I
[2:05] Speaker 3: camo out from head to toe because trout can see
[2:07] Speaker 3: you real easy. So in order to eliminate that, you
[2:12] Speaker 3: camo out. That way you can creep up to hole
[2:15] Speaker 3: and fish or whatnot. But anyway, I was camo to
[2:17] Speaker 3: the gill. So I just squatted down and watched it
[2:21] Speaker 3: to see because I'm serious. It looked just like a
[2:23] Speaker 3: bear standing there playing in the river. And it seemed
[2:28] Speaker 3: like it lasted two hours, but it was only, I mean,
[2:31] Speaker 3: 15 seconds at the most. But then it stood up
[2:35] Speaker 3: and it crossed the river and went up the mountain
[2:37] Speaker 3: on the other side of the river. And I'm like,
[2:40] Speaker 3: you know, and I've always been a believer to a
[2:43] Speaker 3: certain extent. I've heard and seen videos and yada yada.
[2:50] Speaker 3: But I had never really seen one, you know, personally
[2:55] Speaker 3: until this day now this was uh let's say 24
[2:59] Speaker 3: this was probably in 2006 i think it was then
[3:11] Speaker 3: a couple years later i don't know if you're familiar
[3:13] Speaker 3: with uh brfo them guys old bubba.
[3:16] Speaker 2: Or Yeah, the FRO and finding Bigfoot guys.
[3:21] Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[3:22] Speaker 5: Right.
[3:22] Speaker 3: Well, I was watching those guys, you know, on TV.
[3:29] Speaker 3: And one of the programs come up with– it was
[3:36] Speaker 3: there in Helen, Georgia, where I had my experience. And
[3:40] Speaker 3: I was like, whoa, dude. So I started watching it.
[3:43] Speaker 3: And so, of course, they go up the same– same
[3:46] Speaker 3: place we go to go trout fishing and camp. And
[3:50] Speaker 3: the guy took them down the same river that I
[3:53] Speaker 3: was on, the same, because when they're walking down through there,
[3:56] Speaker 3: you know, I've been there a million times. I've been
[3:58] Speaker 3: fishing this river since I was, you know, six years
[4:02] Speaker 3: old with my brother. And everything looked so familiar where
[4:06] Speaker 3: they were going. And they were, when he stopped and
[4:10] Speaker 3: he said, I was right here. And you have to imagine,
[4:14] Speaker 3: this was, you know, back a long time ago, they made,
[4:17] Speaker 3: when they logged that, years and years ago, they made
[4:21] Speaker 3: what we call old logging roads along the side of
[4:24] Speaker 3: the mountain right there at the river. So it was
[4:27] Speaker 3: on an old logging road. Of course, they're all growed
[4:29] Speaker 3: up and everything. But he stopped, and you could look
[4:33] Speaker 3: to the right, and, I mean, if I put down
[4:36] Speaker 3: a little embankment, and there's the Chattahoochee River, and he
[4:38] Speaker 3: said it was right here, and it was on the
[4:40] Speaker 3: side of that mountain, old logging road he was on
[4:44] Speaker 3: the river fishing and he said he heard something and
[4:46] Speaker 3: he turned and looked and it was standing on that
[4:48] Speaker 3: low logging road and he said it was about he
[4:50] Speaker 3: figured eight foot tall uh big old thing and it
[4:54] Speaker 3: picked up a big log and throwed it sort of
[4:56] Speaker 3: towards his way and he turned and hung it up
[4:58] Speaker 3: and and run back up to the camp now mind
[5:00] Speaker 3: you now up here where we go west i'm serious
[5:04] Speaker 3: you're like 10 miles from helen And you're out in,
[5:07] Speaker 3: I mean, you're in the boondocks. I mean, you're up
[5:10] Speaker 3: there in the mountains. Hardly anyone goes up as far
[5:14] Speaker 3: as we do because we like going to remote places
[5:18] Speaker 3: that a whole lot of people don't go. So you
[5:21] Speaker 3: catch more and bigger trout. So it was way up
[5:24] Speaker 3: there on the Chattahoochee River, on the upper Chattahoochee. But then,
[5:30] Speaker 3: like I said, that was a few years after my
[5:33] Speaker 3: experience when I seen that on there. But now this
[5:37] Speaker 3: was the recent one about two, three years ago. We
[5:41] Speaker 3: got a place up there.
[5:42] Speaker 2: Oh, sorry. I hate to interrupt.
[5:46] Speaker 4: Can I ask you a question about your first encounter
[5:48] Speaker 4: before we.
[5:50] Speaker 2: Get past that? I apologize for jumping in.
[5:52] Speaker 7: Absolutely.
[5:53] Speaker 4: Are you able to describe– did you see anything about
[5:57] Speaker 4: the face of what you saw in the upper Chattahoochee
[6:00] Speaker 4: River that day?
[6:02] Speaker 3: To me, it looked just like a silverback gorilla, but
[6:07] Speaker 3: his hair was longer. And, I mean, from my guesstimation,
[6:12] Speaker 3: when he stood up, he was at least seven foot tall.
[6:15] Speaker 3: I mean, I'm 6'4. I'm a big dude. And it just,
[6:21] Speaker 3: I mean, it would have towered over me. I mean,
[6:23] Speaker 3: he had to have been at least seven, eight foot
[6:25] Speaker 3: tall and huge. I mean, his shoulders looked like they
[6:28] Speaker 3: were wide as a football field. And he never looked
[6:31] Speaker 3: toward me. He just stood up and just took, like,
[6:34] Speaker 3: three steps, and he was on the other side of
[6:36] Speaker 3: the Chattahoochee River. And the Chattahoochee River there is probably
[6:39] Speaker 3: about 30 to 40 foot wide, and it didn't take
[6:45] Speaker 3: him across the river going up the mountain. I mean,
[6:48] Speaker 3: all this took– it seemed like I said it took–
[6:51] Speaker 3: it seemed like it was two hours, but it was
[6:54] Speaker 3: a matter of, you know, 15 or 20 seconds.
[6:56] Speaker 5: Sure.
[6:59] Speaker 3: But, like I said, he had– His arms, when he
[7:03] Speaker 3: started crossing the river, you know, they got that swagger.
[7:07] Speaker 3: And I know for a fact his hands were, it
[7:11] Speaker 3: appeared to be two, maybe three foot lower than his waistline.
[7:16] Speaker 3: And you could make him out. I mean, other than
[7:20] Speaker 3: the long, black, shaggy-looking hair, looked like it was matted
[7:23] Speaker 3: in spots like an old shaggy, raggy dog that hadn't
[7:27] Speaker 3: been combed or bathed in years.
[7:29] Speaker 1: Right.
[7:31] Speaker 3: I didn't smell him because I was upwind. I guess
[7:34] Speaker 3: that's why he didn't notice me because I was upwind
[7:37] Speaker 3: of him. The wind sort of travels with the river
[7:40] Speaker 3: as it goes down. The wind goes that way. But
[7:45] Speaker 3: he crossed the river. and went up the bank on
[7:49] Speaker 3: the other side. Well, I turned and went back, back
[7:54] Speaker 3: up the river and caught up with my nephews and
[7:56] Speaker 3: my cousins. And of course they all think I'm crazy.
[8:00] Speaker 5: Right.
[8:00] Speaker 3: At this point. And I've told my nephew and in
[8:04] Speaker 3: the past, now listen to this, we were about 18.
[8:06] Speaker 3: Me and my nephew went up there. We were in
[8:10] Speaker 3: the same general area, but we were like, you know,
[8:13] Speaker 3: as a crow flies probably a half a mile from
[8:15] Speaker 3: this spot. And he and I went up there one
[8:18] Speaker 3: weekend and gone to what we call a roughing camping.
[8:21] Speaker 3: So we go up there, just take a little tent,
[8:24] Speaker 3: two-man tent, and we go to hike down through the
[8:27] Speaker 3: woods with nothing but flashlights and go down there and
[8:30] Speaker 3: set up a tent by the river and get up
[8:33] Speaker 3: the next morning and we fish. We catch our limit
[8:36] Speaker 3: and we come home. But, well, that night, something was– now,
[8:42] Speaker 3: mind you, this was when I was– I'm 57 now,
[8:44] Speaker 3: and I was– probably 18 in my, you know, right
[8:51] Speaker 3: around in there. Something kept surrounding our campsite, breaking limbs,
[8:56] Speaker 3: and my nephew, you know, he had his. 357, but
[8:58] Speaker 3: he said, oh, it's just probably a bear or something
[9:01] Speaker 3: like that. And I'm like, no, dude. I mean, you
[9:04] Speaker 3: can tell. And at this time, I had no idea
[9:07] Speaker 3: what big putt was. I had no idea. I hadn't
[9:10] Speaker 3: even been introduced to anything like that. But I knew
[9:13] Speaker 3: something was up because I'm an avid hunter. I'm in
[9:16] Speaker 3: the woods all the time doing something. And I knew
[9:20] Speaker 3: it was more than one of them. And you could hear.
[9:26] Speaker 3: Stuff hitting the river and limbs breaking. But like I said,
[9:30] Speaker 3: it was pitch black. I mean, with no lights on
[9:33] Speaker 3: and not the fire, you could not see your hand
[9:36] Speaker 3: a centimeter away from your nose. This is how pitch
[9:38] Speaker 3: black it was. So you didn't really have no light.
[9:42] Speaker 3: And we passed it off as, you know, a bear
[9:45] Speaker 3: or cougar or whatever. Okay, now getting back to what
[9:47] Speaker 3: I was going to tell you just now, about two
[9:49] Speaker 3: years ago, I had a camper and I'd go up
[9:53] Speaker 3: to our place up there in Helen and camp. And
[9:55] Speaker 3: I'd stay up there two weeks at a time with
[9:57] Speaker 3: my little dogs. One night, it was about two in
[10:00] Speaker 3: the morning, my little dog had to potty, so I
[10:03] Speaker 3: took him out of the camper and was standing on
[10:05] Speaker 3: the deck, and he was standing there pottying, and I mean,
[10:10] Speaker 3: this thing was probably... 100 yards from me. It sounded
[10:14] Speaker 3: like he was right there beside me. But it started
[10:17] Speaker 3: howling and growling sort of at the same time, and
[10:22] Speaker 3: it lasted for over a minute. I mean, it scared
[10:27] Speaker 3: me so bad, I felt my soul leave my body.
[10:30] Speaker 3: I mean, that's how terrified I was. And I've been
[10:33] Speaker 3: in the woods, like I said, all my life. I've
[10:34] Speaker 3: heard bobcats, cougars, bear, you name it. I've never, ever
[10:39] Speaker 3: heard anything like this. Well, it scared my dog, and
[10:43] Speaker 3: he'd run into the camper and wouldn't come back out.
[10:47] Speaker 3: But it lasted for over a minute, just, I mean,
[10:52] Speaker 3: just crazy. And I told my nephew about it because
[10:55] Speaker 3: he and I are the same age. And we were like, dude, no,
[11:03] Speaker 3: it wasn't. I've heard that. I've been in a deer stand,
[11:07] Speaker 3: and I've seen two bobcats tie up for a battle,
[11:10] Speaker 3: and this was nowhere near what this was. And I've
[11:14] Speaker 3: heard bears, and I've heard this and that and the other,
[11:17] Speaker 3: and that's not what it was. But I went up
[11:20] Speaker 3: to– Last year, I went to our place up there
[11:24] Speaker 3: and I was determined. I told them, I said, all right,
[11:26] Speaker 3: I'm going to get you proof. So I had three
[11:28] Speaker 3: trail cameras. I got my trail cameras and I went
[11:31] Speaker 3: to our place up there and I went fishing. And
[11:34] Speaker 3: I got, I caught a bunch of brim out of
[11:37] Speaker 3: the lake there. And I went on the other side
[11:40] Speaker 3: of the pond where it's WMA land. Nobody goes. And
[11:45] Speaker 3: so I went up through there and I strategically put
[11:47] Speaker 3: my trail cameras around this one area. And I put
[11:51] Speaker 3: them up as high as I could reach to where,
[11:54] Speaker 3: you know, you couldn't be real visible from walking on
[11:56] Speaker 3: the ground. And I took all those fish and there
[12:00] Speaker 3: was a dead tree laying there and had broke limbs everywhere.
[12:02] Speaker 3: And so I just took a brim and I stuck it,
[12:06] Speaker 3: just siskabobbed it on to this tree all over it
[12:10] Speaker 3: like Christmas ornaments. And I had all those cameras pointing
[12:13] Speaker 3: to that area. Hell, I stayed there for two weeks.
[12:17] Speaker 3: I said, I'm not gonna bother it, I'm not gonna
[12:19] Speaker 3: check it until I get ready to leave and then
[12:21] Speaker 3: I'm gonna come over and get my cameras and stuff. Well,
[12:24] Speaker 3: two weeks later, before I was gonna leave to come home,
[12:28] Speaker 3: I got in my little boat and I went across
[12:30] Speaker 3: the lake way over there and I got out, walked
[12:32] Speaker 3: up there and I walked up and I looked and
[12:34] Speaker 3: two of my cameras were gone and one of them
[12:38] Speaker 3: was turned around backwards facing the other way away from
[12:41] Speaker 3: the fish. And it had a few pictures of deer,
[12:47] Speaker 3: a couple of pictures of bobcats and raccoons and stuff
[12:51] Speaker 3: like that. But the camera was actually turned around facing
[12:56] Speaker 3: on the other side of the tree. And I'm yet
[12:59] Speaker 3: to find my other two trail cameras. I have no
[13:01] Speaker 3: idea where they went. But I put them up. Like
[13:05] Speaker 3: I said, I'm 6'4. And I reached as high as
[13:09] Speaker 3: I could and put them on the tree. Made sure
[13:11] Speaker 3: all of them was on, pointing to this one area. Because,
[13:14] Speaker 3: you know, I've heard that they can see the ultraviolet
[13:17] Speaker 3: ray when the camera takes a picture. You know, even
[13:21] Speaker 3: deer can see it. I've got pictures of deer looking
[13:24] Speaker 3: right at my camera right after a picture. So I
[13:26] Speaker 3: know they can see that light when it flashes. And
[13:33] Speaker 3: I'm planning on another excursion. I got in touch with
[13:36] Speaker 3: my nephew. And, of course, you know, he thinks I'm loco.
[13:41] Speaker 3: But I told him, I said, man, we need to
[13:42] Speaker 3: go do another roughhead camping and go up there on
[13:46] Speaker 3: the Chattahoochee and go trout fishing. But we're yet to
[13:51] Speaker 3: set another date. Well, brother, I'm telling you, I know
[13:54] Speaker 3: what I saw.
[13:55] Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
[13:56] Speaker 3: People say I'm crazy. You know, I was, I'd heard
[14:02] Speaker 3: a lot of stuff about Bigfoot, this, that, and the other. And,
[14:07] Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, dude, you got to be skeptical. Until
[14:12] Speaker 3: you see it with your own eyes, you're skeptical. Oh, man,
[14:18] Speaker 3: you crazy. You're on dope. You're this, they're that, the other.
[14:21] Speaker 3: But I'm telling you that that day I seen what
[14:25] Speaker 3: I saw changed my life forever. And I haven't found tracks.
[14:31] Speaker 3: I haven't seen any evidence other than that brief moment.
[14:36] Speaker 3: I seen one up there way up on the upper epitome.
[14:40] Speaker 3: upper end of the Chattahoochee River in North Georgia. I
[14:44] Speaker 3: know what I saw. At that time, I didn't have
[14:47] Speaker 3: my phone. I didn't have access to taking a picture
[14:51] Speaker 3: or anything like that. It's just I know what I saw.
[14:54] Speaker 3: And then a couple of years later, like I said,
[14:57] Speaker 3: I seen that episode of BRFO on TV. And they
[15:05] Speaker 3: were up there in the– well, they were close to
[15:08] Speaker 3: where I was at. But in the same general area. Now,
[15:13] Speaker 3: my place that we have in North Georgia there is
[15:19] Speaker 3: approximately seven miles from the Chattahoochee River.
[15:22] Speaker 5: Okay.
[15:29] Speaker 3: We go up there a lot. We've been going up
[15:30] Speaker 3: there for– we've had it for 25 years, been going
[15:33] Speaker 3: up there.
[15:33] Speaker 8: Oh, wow.
[15:34] Speaker 3: Now, I've heard old people talking up there about, you know,
[15:37] Speaker 3: hearing things that, you know, it's a resort. And there's
[15:42] Speaker 3: people that live in this resort.
[15:46] Speaker 2: Old people.
[15:49] Speaker 3: People that's retired. You know, I mean, you know, I've
[15:52] Speaker 3: gotten to know a lot of people that live up there.
[15:54] Speaker 3: I've actually got friends that live up there. And, you know,
[15:58] Speaker 3: talking to them, talking to the older folks, you hear
[16:00] Speaker 3: a lot of stuff. And they talk about it. And
[16:02] Speaker 3: a lot of them know that they're there, but they
[16:07] Speaker 3: don't want to talk about it for fear of, you know,
[16:12] Speaker 3: people talking about them thinking they're crazy or you need
[16:14] Speaker 3: to get back on your meds, yada, yada. But if
[16:17] Speaker 3: you really sit down with certain people, they'll open up
[16:20] Speaker 3: to you and tell you their stories and stuff. But, yeah,
[16:25] Speaker 3: we're planning on another trip here soon, I hope. As
[16:30] Speaker 3: soon as the weather cools off a little bit. It's
[16:33] Speaker 3: really too hot right now. Marcus, if you— But we're
[16:36] Speaker 3: going to go up there, man.
[16:37] Speaker 4: If you run into anything else, you can always reach
[16:40] Speaker 4: out to me. Mybigfootsocietyatgmail.com email address is right there on screen.
[16:46] Speaker 4: So if you want to make a note of that,
[16:47] Speaker 4: you can always reach out, man.
[16:50] Speaker 3: Okay, brother. I appreciate it.
[16:52] Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
[16:53] Speaker 3: Thank you for sharing what you've experienced. Absolutely, man. Good hunting.
[16:58] Speaker 1: All right.
[16:58] Speaker 4: Great first call from Marcus talking about the upper Chattahoochee
[17:03] Speaker 4: River of North Georgia and his sighting he had there.
[17:08] Speaker 4: Thank you so much, Marcus, for coming on. Let's reach
[17:11] Speaker 4: out to Cliff. Cliff, are you saying that you've had
[17:18] Speaker 4: an encounter in Tennessee?
[17:20] Speaker 1: Oh, here we go.
[17:20] Speaker 4: Let's see if it connects.
[17:32] Speaker 5: Hello?
[17:32] Speaker 2: Let's see if it connects.
[17:33] Speaker 4: Hey, Cliff.
[17:35] Speaker 2: Are you saying that you've had a Bigfoot encounter in Tennessee?
[17:39] Speaker 8: Yeah, I've been getting wrapping on trees here. This started
[17:43] Speaker 8: about three or four weeks ago. The first time I
[17:46] Speaker 8: heard it, it was wrapping on the trees. Now, I
[17:50] Speaker 8: have a friend that's up in Vermont that is familiar
[17:53] Speaker 8: with the Bigfoot. As a matter of fact, she knows one.
[17:56] Speaker 8: She calls him Pumpkin because he likes pumpkin cream cheese.
[18:00] Speaker 8: And he actually comes up to, you know, he eats
[18:03] Speaker 8: a lot of stuff that she leaves out for him.
[18:07] Speaker 8: And I asked her about this, and she said, well,
[18:09] Speaker 8: normally they would wrap on a tree to kind of
[18:12] Speaker 8: scare you off. But she said that they might be
[18:17] Speaker 8: trying to make contact. The first time I heard it,
[18:21] Speaker 8: I went outside with the flashlight, and I shined it
[18:24] Speaker 8: across the street where I heard this coming from.
[18:27] Speaker 7: And I.
[18:30] Speaker 8: Seen a reflection with the flashlight of red glowing eyes.
[18:37] Speaker 8: out in the street. And on the side of the
[18:40] Speaker 8: property where my friend's house is here, it goes up
[18:43] Speaker 8: on a hill. He has cattle over there, and it's
[18:45] Speaker 8: a big, steep hill. And it went in there, and
[18:48] Speaker 8: it just passed a big pine tree, turned around and
[18:52] Speaker 8: looked back at me again for a few seconds. And
[18:55] Speaker 8: there again, I seen the red glowing eyes. That's why
[18:57] Speaker 8: I Googled this. And it said, pounding on a tree,
[19:02] Speaker 8: and Bigfoot eyes glow red when you shine a light
[19:06] Speaker 8: in it. So that's the first, that's when I've seen it.
[19:11] Speaker 8: But now for the last, oh, probably two or three weeks,
[19:16] Speaker 8: I've been getting, pounding on the tree sometimes around 2.40
[19:20] Speaker 8: in the morning or 5 o'clock in the morning. But
[19:23] Speaker 8: it's every time I go out, it stops. It's enough
[19:27] Speaker 8: to wake me up almost every night. And I don't
[19:30] Speaker 8: know why they're doing it.
[19:33] Speaker 2: Cliff, can you share.
[19:35] Speaker 4: What general area of Tennessee this is in?
[19:38] Speaker 8: Yeah, Sneedville.
[19:40] Speaker 2: You said Needville?
[19:42] Speaker 8: No, Sneedville. Sneedville. Yeah, Sneedville.
[19:45] Speaker 2: Let me look it up.
[19:47] Speaker 8: I'm right across the street from the clubhouse.
[19:50] Speaker 5: Mountains.
[19:57] Speaker 2: Let's see.
[19:58] Speaker 5: Gotcha.
[19:59] Speaker 8: The night that I actually seen the glowing eyes, you know,
[20:04] Speaker 8: with the flashlight, I... I stayed outside for a while
[20:08] Speaker 8: because I kept trying to see if it would come
[20:10] Speaker 8: up to me because it rapped on the tree probably
[20:13] Speaker 8: eight or ten times, pretty loud. And so I stayed
[20:18] Speaker 8: out there even after it disappeared, and it was going
[20:22] Speaker 8: west from where I am. And up the road, some
[20:27] Speaker 8: people have horses, and I heard the horses like they
[20:31] Speaker 8: were scared. You know, it had a horse's sound when
[20:33] Speaker 8: they get startled by something. I heard the horses up
[20:36] Speaker 8: the street, so it must have went by them and
[20:39] Speaker 8: scared them because I heard them all the way over here.
[20:42] Speaker 4: That is extremely, extremely interesting. Have other people in the
[20:51] Speaker 4: same area been having issues like that as well?
[20:54] Speaker 2: Have you talked to anybody?
[20:56] Speaker 8: The one night when– the second, I think it was
[20:59] Speaker 8: the second or third night that this was happening– I
[21:05] Speaker 8: went outside and I was looking around and I noticed
[21:07] Speaker 8: my neighbor came out. This was like a three in
[21:10] Speaker 8: the morning, three between three and four.
[21:12] Speaker 9: In the morning.
[21:13] Speaker 8: And I seen them turn their porch lights on. So
[21:16] Speaker 8: the next morning when they, when I seen them down, uh,
[21:20] Speaker 8: close to the property here, I asked him, I said,
[21:22] Speaker 8: did you guys hear anything last night? And they said, yeah,
[21:26] Speaker 8: they heard like a banging, but they thought it was
[21:28] Speaker 8: somebody banging on their fence posts or something. And she said,
[21:33] Speaker 8: but yeah, they heard it also. And that's my neighbors
[21:35] Speaker 8: next door.
[21:40] Speaker 2: Interesting.
[21:41] Speaker 4: Have you ever had any visuals of anything yet?
[21:47] Speaker 5: No.
[21:48] Speaker 8: The only thing I got to see so far was
[21:51] Speaker 8: the glowing eyes in the reflection from the flashlight. Every
[21:59] Speaker 8: time I go out my door, the wrapping stops. I'm
[22:03] Speaker 8: just going to go over here and shut my scanner down.
[22:05] Speaker 1: Yeah, you're good.
[22:07] Speaker 8: Every time I go out my door, I live in
[22:09] Speaker 8: a 12 by 32 shed, so I have a door
[22:14] Speaker 8: at each end. And I've tried going out both doors,
[22:17] Speaker 8: and no matter which end I go out, as soon
[22:18] Speaker 8: as I step outside, it stops. So they're close enough
[22:23] Speaker 8: to where they can see me. I don't know where
[22:25] Speaker 8: they're at, though. I haven't been able to locate them again.
[22:29] Speaker 8: The last time it happened, it was 2.20 in the morning.
[22:33] Speaker 8: And that was about three days ago. And my friend,
[22:37] Speaker 8: the friend's property who I'm on, he's got a big
[22:40] Speaker 8: dog like a sheep dog. And when this rapping started,
[22:44] Speaker 8: she started barking too. So the dog is hearing it
[22:47] Speaker 8: as well.
[22:52] Speaker 2: Very, very.
[22:53] Speaker 4: Yeah, there's definitely something going on for sure. Are you
[22:56] Speaker 4: hearing any sounds that are out of the ordinary or
[23:00] Speaker 4: feel like they don't belong in your area?
[23:03] Speaker 8: Just the wrapping on the trees. I told my friend
[23:06] Speaker 8: about it and he said, maybe it's a bear because
[23:08] Speaker 8: we do have bear here. But I said, bears don't
[23:11] Speaker 8: wrap on trees. He's got apple trees and pear trees.
[23:15] Speaker 8: And when they came around, when I first got here,
[23:17] Speaker 8: they would just come down. They would eat the apples
[23:19] Speaker 8: down on the ground. They never made no noise. If
[23:22] Speaker 8: they do anything, they go up in the tree and
[23:24] Speaker 8: they'll shake it and try to get the fruit out.
[23:26] Speaker 8: But I said, they ain't going to pound on it.
[23:28] Speaker 7: This was loud.
[23:29] Speaker 8: The first time I heard it, it sounded like someone
[23:31] Speaker 8: was beating on a tree with a sledgehammer. It was loud.
[23:35] Speaker 8: It was real loud.
[23:37] Speaker 5: Wow.
[23:38] Speaker 2: It sounds like you definitely have.
[23:40] Speaker 8: I mean, it woke me up.
[23:41] Speaker 6: It was enough to wake me up.
[23:42] Speaker 2: Absolutely.
[23:43] Speaker 4: You definitely have a situation where it could continue to get...
[23:49] Speaker 4: more intense. And I would be careful about leaving things outside,
[23:53] Speaker 4: like leaving food outside, if you know what I mean.
[23:56] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[23:58] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[24:00] Speaker 4: Man, Cliff, thank you. Thank you for sharing that. Please
[24:03] Speaker 4: keep me in mind. My email is right there on screen.
[24:06] Speaker 4: You can probably see it. And also feel free to
[24:09] Speaker 4: pass on my info, my email to your friend in
[24:14] Speaker 4: Vermont who has the interaction with the Bigfoot called pumpkin
[24:19] Speaker 4: that I would, I would love to maybe chat with
[24:22] Speaker 4: her for a few minutes too, but, um, email is bigfootsociety.com.
[24:29] Speaker 8: I don't know if you're, you're familiar, but, um, she's,
[24:33] Speaker 8: she is what they call a star seed. She's been
[24:37] Speaker 8: up on board the ships almost 70 times in the
[24:39] Speaker 8: last year.
[24:41] Speaker 7: Okay.
[24:41] Speaker 3: Well, absolutely.
[24:42] Speaker 8: The Bigfoot, um, originally came here from off planet and,
[24:47] Speaker 8: The reptilians and stuff was using them as slaves to
[24:50] Speaker 8: build the pyramids. And when the other good, higher vibe
[24:59] Speaker 8: space people came here and freed them, they gave them
[25:02] Speaker 8: a choice to either go home or stay here. And
[25:04] Speaker 8: they liked our planet.
[25:06] Speaker 7: But what people don't.
[25:07] Speaker 8: Know is these creatures are very intelligent. They can speak.
[25:14] Speaker 8: They know several languages. And they can also, because she lives,
[25:19] Speaker 8: she's in Vermont. She's almost into the Canadian border. She's
[25:23] Speaker 8: way up in the mountains. Okay, gotcha.
[25:25] Speaker 7: Yep, yep.
[25:27] Speaker 8: Okay, she's way up there. She's like 20 miles from
[25:31] Speaker 8: the Canadian border. And she said, because Pumpkin has his
[25:40] Speaker 8: clan or whatever you want to call it. And she's
[25:44] Speaker 8: pretty much known to them. And she said she's actually
[25:48] Speaker 8: had five others. She said, I was up in the
[25:50] Speaker 8: old woods one day walking and I heard something. I
[25:53] Speaker 8: heard something, you know, snapping in the branches. And she
[25:56] Speaker 8: said one big one stepped out. And then another one,
[26:01] Speaker 8: she said there was five of them total.
[26:04] Speaker 5: Wow.
[26:04] Speaker 8: That stepped out and just stood there and kind of
[26:07] Speaker 8: nodded their head. And she said, you know, what do you,
[26:13] Speaker 8: she said, you know, can I help you? And they
[26:17] Speaker 8: approached her and they said, we heard about you, that
[26:23] Speaker 8: you're friends with some here, and we wanted to come
[26:27] Speaker 8: and check you out. She said they came from all
[26:29] Speaker 8: different parts of Vermont, but they actually talked with her.
[26:34] Speaker 2: Was that.
[26:36] Speaker 4: Through telepathy or verbally?
[26:40] Speaker 3: Verbally.
[26:41] Speaker 5: Really?
[26:41] Speaker 2: In English?
[26:42] Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
[26:45] Speaker 8: She said they know several languages.
[26:49] Speaker 2: That's true.
[26:52] Speaker 8: She said they act like they don't know nothing because
[26:54] Speaker 8: the government is trying to capture them and weaponize them.
[26:59] Speaker 8: So they act like they don't know nothing.
[27:01] Speaker 2: That's incredible. Yeah, I would love to talk to her.
[27:06] Speaker 4: Yeah, feel free to pass on my info. Cliff, it's
[27:11] Speaker 4: been a pleasure chatting with you. Chatting with you tonight.

[27:53] Speaker 6: All right.
[27:53] Speaker 1: All right.
[27:57] Speaker 4: Cliff had some great things to share.
[28:00] Speaker 2: Hey, ultra scoot. This is Jeremiah.
[28:02] Speaker 4: Feel free to share what you've been experiencing out there
[28:04] Speaker 4: in Oregon, man.
[28:05] Speaker 6: Oh, yeah. So it's pretty much the same area. It's
[28:09] Speaker 6: Arch Cave, lower Nahalem River, and then the Highway 47
[28:13] Speaker 6: Vernonia area.
[28:15] Speaker 2: Sorry, was that Arch Cave?
[28:18] Speaker 6: Arch Cave.
[28:18] Speaker 2: Oh, Arch Cave.
[28:21] Speaker 6: So if anybody knows anything about Seaside, Oregon, you just
[28:25] Speaker 6: go south past Canaan Beach. It's a little area over there.
[28:31] Speaker 6: I'm a firefighter paramedic, and so... I'm always, you know,
[28:35] Speaker 6: up late at night running calls and happen to run
[28:37] Speaker 6: a call out there in Arch Cape. And walking up
[28:41] Speaker 6: to this person's house, I'm probably about 20 feet away
[28:43] Speaker 6: from the back of the fire engine. And me and
[28:46] Speaker 6: another firefighter, we're talking about the call and trying to
[28:48] Speaker 6: figure out, you know, what's going on with the patient. And, like,
[28:52] Speaker 6: out of the woods, like, I think the east side,
[28:55] Speaker 6: the east side, like, towards Tillamook Forest, something, it just
[28:58] Speaker 6: starts screaming towards us. It doesn't sound like a person.
[29:03] Speaker 6: It sounds a lot louder. It doesn't sound like an owl.
[29:05] Speaker 6: I look at my firefighter. I was like, you hear that?
[29:08] Speaker 6: And he's like, yeah. I was like, all right, well,
[29:10] Speaker 6: let's go inside before whatever that is comes out and starts. And,
[29:14] Speaker 6: you know, we get to see what it actually is.
[29:16] Speaker 6: So went into the call. It didn't have any other
[29:18] Speaker 6: instances after that. That was the most recent one. I
[29:22] Speaker 6: think that was about three and a half, four weeks
[29:25] Speaker 6: ago at this point. I think it was about one
[29:27] Speaker 6: or two in the morning in Arch Cape.
[29:32] Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. That's very recent, my dude.
[29:35] Speaker 5: Wow.
[29:36] Speaker 6: And then I'll send you– I'll send your email because
[29:40] Speaker 6: I have some audio recordings of the same exact screams
[29:42] Speaker 6: that I heard. September 2023, it was September 30th. It
[29:49] Speaker 6: was actually probably 10 or 11 miles up from Seaside
[29:54] Speaker 6: and Arch Cape area. It's off of Highway 26. Uh, off, uh,
[29:58] Speaker 6: it's the Henry Ryerson campground number five. Uh, it was in,
[30:02] Speaker 6: it was in that campground. It was September 30th, about 1am.
[30:05] Speaker 6: I went out there with my dog cause we were gonna,
[30:08] Speaker 6: we were gonna go scout a couple of trails, uh,
[30:10] Speaker 6: get ready for elk hunting that was starting, you know, the,
[30:12] Speaker 6: the following month and everything. Um, I get out there
[30:16] Speaker 6: about nine o'clock. I met another, another group of hunters
[30:19] Speaker 6: that were over there. They were basically doing the same
[30:20] Speaker 6: thing I was. Um, we chit chatted until about 10 30,
[30:24] Speaker 6: nine o'clock or 10 30, 11 o'clock. And then we
[30:26] Speaker 6: decided to go to bed, um, right around 1am. Um,
[30:30] Speaker 6: I have a rooftop tent on the top of my vehicle. Um,
[30:33] Speaker 6: so me and my, me and my dog Toby are
[30:34] Speaker 6: up there. We're sleeping. And right around 1am Toby wakes
[30:37] Speaker 6: me up. Toby's, uh, he's a pit bull, not really
[30:40] Speaker 6: afraid of anything. He, he goes hunting in the woods. Um, very,
[30:44] Speaker 6: very nice, very smart dog. Um, he wakes up and
[30:48] Speaker 6: I'm like, okay, it's a little, it's a little chilly out.
[30:50] Speaker 6: Maybe he's just cold. Cause I mean, pit bulls are
[30:52] Speaker 6: short hair. So I open up my sleeping bag and
[30:54] Speaker 6: he just gets, goes towards my feet and sit there
[30:56] Speaker 6: and just start shivering. I was like, my guy, I
[30:59] Speaker 6: was like, buddy, it's not, it's not cold. What are you,
[31:01] Speaker 6: what are you doing? And I was like, okay. So
[31:03] Speaker 6: I checked my phone. There's no signal out in Henry Ryerson.
[31:06] Speaker 6: So not really, can't really do anything on my phone
[31:09] Speaker 6: to kind of like lull myself back to sleep. Um,
[31:12] Speaker 6: So I'm just sitting there laying down, hands crossed, trying
[31:15] Speaker 6: to go back to bed. And all of a sudden, again,
[31:17] Speaker 6: the same exact, like, yell or scream. I have a
[31:21] Speaker 6: recording of this. I'll send it to you after all this.
[31:25] Speaker 6: Happens for about four to five minutes. It was on
[31:29] Speaker 6: the east side of my camp. And then across the
[31:31] Speaker 6: Nehalem River, there was another one. Same exact scream, yell,
[31:36] Speaker 6: same intensity, yelling back towards the east side of my camp.
[31:40] Speaker 6: So I'm just like, oh, that's... That's weird. And, you know,
[31:45] Speaker 6: I was a little startled. But it's one in the morning.
[31:48] Speaker 6: It's just me and my dog. I was like, oh,
[31:50] Speaker 6: I'm not going to shut up my I'm not going
[31:52] Speaker 6: to shut up my camp. I'm just not going to
[31:54] Speaker 6: I'm just not going to do anything in the morning.
[31:56] Speaker 6: So as soon as soon as time comes up and
[31:58] Speaker 6: I make sure that I can get out of there,
[31:59] Speaker 6: I did. But nothing nothing else really happened that night
[32:04] Speaker 6: in this same area known as like Henry Ryerson campground
[32:08] Speaker 6: number five or the lower Nehalem River campground. I've had
[32:11] Speaker 6: rocks thrown at me. I've had things walk up to
[32:16] Speaker 6: the back of my tent and slap the back of
[32:19] Speaker 6: my tent while I'm sleeping.
[32:20] Speaker 2: No way.
[32:21] Speaker 6: Yeah, there's just a whole nest of activity.
[32:25] Speaker 2: So I'm looking on a map right now. Yeah, definitely....
[32:33] Speaker 4: I think I've talked to a few people like down
[32:36] Speaker 4: South of that in Tillamook state forest, but like way South,
[32:40] Speaker 4: but that's really interesting. So Henry Ryerson definitely keep that
[32:44] Speaker 4: in mind, man.
[32:44] Speaker 6: So if you, so if you follow lower to Halem river,
[32:48] Speaker 6: which is where Henry Ryerson is, that road lower to
[32:51] Speaker 6: Halem river follows, goes straight to the heart of the
[32:55] Speaker 6: Tillamook forest. And there are tons of logging roads off
[32:58] Speaker 6: left and right. Um, like if you, if you go
[33:01] Speaker 6: and talk to any of the people out there, they
[33:03] Speaker 6: say saddle mountain, which is very near that area, just
[33:06] Speaker 6: on the other side of the road. Uh, there's a
[33:08] Speaker 6: bunch of weird stuff that happens out there. Cause I'm,
[33:11] Speaker 6: you know, I, like I said, I'm a fire fighter paramedic.
[33:13] Speaker 6: And so whenever I transport patients out there, that's usually
[33:16] Speaker 6: all the people that live out there. I'm saying, Hey,
[33:18] Speaker 6: you see anything weird in the woods? And a lot
[33:21] Speaker 6: of them are like, yeah, we don't mess with it.
[33:23] Speaker 6: It doesn't mess with us.
[33:24] Speaker 4: So, so you are very rare breed, my friend, because
[33:28] Speaker 4: you are, uh, It sounds like you're definitely also into
[33:33] Speaker 4: Bigfoot as well, but you got that connection where you're
[33:36] Speaker 4: a firefighter, paramedic.
[33:38] Speaker 2: That's really, really cool.
[33:40] Speaker 5: Oh, appreciate that. Wow.
[33:42] Speaker 4: Yeah, if you can send me that stuff through the
[33:46] Speaker 4: email I have on screen here, it would be great
[33:48] Speaker 4: to have your contact.
[33:50] Speaker 6: Yeah. So the audio is going to be from Henry Ryerson.
[33:57] Speaker 6: You'll have to put on your headphones if you're listening
[33:58] Speaker 6: to it.
[33:59] Speaker 5: Okay.
[34:00] Speaker 6: Uh, cause it's me moving around in my sleeping bag
[34:02] Speaker 6: and then you'll hear the yelling, uh, back and forth.
[34:04] Speaker 6: And then I'll send you like a little, a little
[34:06] Speaker 6: footprint from like a class a sighting. I had like
[34:10] Speaker 6: three or four years prior around, uh, around the Vernonia
[34:13] Speaker 6: stub Stewart area. And, uh, I was leaving stub Stewart after, um, using,
[34:19] Speaker 6: cause I was working out there and I went into the, um,
[34:22] Speaker 6: sub Stewart state parks. I know they have bathrooms open
[34:25] Speaker 6: 24 seven stop, went to the bathroom. And as I'm
[34:27] Speaker 6: heading back towards Portland where I live, um, I see, like,
[34:31] Speaker 6: eyeshine probably about, like, eight feet up. And I was like, oh,
[34:35] Speaker 6: that's kind of tall to be a raccoon. That's an
[34:38] Speaker 6: awfully big raccoon. And then I see, like, two eyes.
[34:43] Speaker 6: And then I see, like, whatever it is turn its head.
[34:46] Speaker 6: And this time I only see one eye. And then
[34:48] Speaker 6: I see two eyes again. And there's, like, two sets
[34:50] Speaker 6: of eyes. So there was two of whatever I saw.
[34:53] Speaker 6: They were looking back past, like, back away from Stewart
[34:57] Speaker 6: State Park. Like kind of saying, like, hey, there's something
[35:00] Speaker 6: here and kind of like telling whatever was coming to
[35:02] Speaker 6: wait before we passed. My girlfriend at the time saw
[35:06] Speaker 6: it and she freaked out. And then so I went back.
[35:09] Speaker 6: I went back the next day. And whereabouts I saw
[35:12] Speaker 6: the head of these or the eye shine, which was
[35:15] Speaker 6: which was like your last guy was saying it was
[35:17] Speaker 6: like it wasn't red. It was like an orange, just
[35:20] Speaker 6: amberish yellow more than anything. Right. And yeah, I saw
[35:25] Speaker 6: it when I saw it. I was like, oh, hey, look,
[35:27] Speaker 6: there is the like the five toes and like the
[35:31] Speaker 6: whatever the whatever the little front pad of the foot
[35:34] Speaker 6: is called. I wasn't able to cast it because it
[35:36] Speaker 6: was in like some really soft mud. But I was like, oh,
[35:38] Speaker 6: that's that's cool. So I took a photo and then
[35:42] Speaker 6: just been sitting on all this evidence.
[35:43] Speaker 4: And oh, my goodness. Have you ever gotten up to Rainier,
[35:47] Speaker 4: Oregon area?
[35:49] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[35:49] Speaker 4: Have you gone and looked out, looked, looked around in
[35:53] Speaker 4: the woods out there at all?
[35:54] Speaker 6: Uh, yeah, nothing. I mean, I haven't had anything experience
[35:57] Speaker 6: over there. Um, I, so like I said, I work
[36:01] Speaker 6: in like the Clatsop, Clatsop County, which encompasses Clatsop Forest, uh,
[36:06] Speaker 6: off of like 202 Highway 26. Um, and then parts
[36:11] Speaker 6: of like Highway 4 up in like Pacific County and Washington. Um,
[36:16] Speaker 6: bunch of, bunch of sightings and a bunch of like
[36:18] Speaker 6: just personal reports from people, um, um, that I've talked
[36:21] Speaker 6: to out there. Cause again, like all, a lot of
[36:23] Speaker 6: these people are just older and they're loggers or they've
[36:25] Speaker 6: been hunting out in the same area for, you know, 30,
[36:28] Speaker 6: 40 years. Um, there was a patient I had out
[36:32] Speaker 6: in Vernonia actually. She, um, she had, she was actually
[36:38] Speaker 6: super fun. We'd, uh, we'd have to go to her
[36:40] Speaker 6: a few, you know, a few times a month, but
[36:42] Speaker 6: she was a very level headed down to earth. Um,
[36:46] Speaker 6: you know, I asked her the same question. I was like,
[36:47] Speaker 6: have you ever seen Bigfoot out here? Cause it's an
[36:49] Speaker 6: hour and a half transport to the hospital. And she goes, oh, yeah.
[36:53] Speaker 6: Like my barn is 100 yards away from my front
[36:55] Speaker 6: door and it's screaming all the time out there. And
[36:58] Speaker 6: I was like, oh, do you go and look at it?
[37:00] Speaker 6: She goes, no, I'm not dumb. And I was like,
[37:04] Speaker 6: all right, fair question. That makes sense.
[37:08] Speaker 5: Holy mackerel.
[37:09] Speaker 6: If you ever come back here, I'll put my contact
[37:11] Speaker 6: info in there. So if you ever go back there,
[37:13] Speaker 6: I can show you, if you ever come back to
[37:14] Speaker 6: this area, um, I can meet you. Uh, and I can,
[37:18] Speaker 6: I can show you all the areas that I'm telling
[37:20] Speaker 6: you about or that I'm talking about.
[37:21] Speaker 4: Wow. I, um, so last year or actually this, this
[37:25] Speaker 4: last August, July, I was in, uh, the Willamette national
[37:28] Speaker 4: forest down in Oak Ridge for like a week. And, uh,
[37:34] Speaker 4: I was like, maybe I'll get to travel other places.
[37:36] Speaker 4: It's like, nah, dude, like I was stuck in that
[37:39] Speaker 4: town because there was so much going on in.
[37:41] Speaker 7: That small town.
[37:43] Speaker 2: It was wild.
[37:45] Speaker 6: I mean, OK, I sound kind of like a movie villain,
[37:47] Speaker 6: but a bunch of my shift mates, because we do 4896s,
[37:53] Speaker 6: and so a bunch of us are really into outdoors
[37:56] Speaker 6: and we like to go hiking and camping and stuff
[37:59] Speaker 6: like that. And so... The last, uh, this, this year
[38:03] Speaker 6: I'm choosing where we get to go and I'm choosing
[38:05] Speaker 6: Oak Ridge, Oregon.
[38:07] Speaker 8: Yes.
[38:08] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[38:09] Speaker 6: I'm not telling them why I'm choosing it, but so
[38:14] Speaker 6: I bought a nice, like Sony, uh, like a Sony
[38:18] Speaker 6: 4k camera, uh, cost me like 3,500 bucks. It's supposed
[38:21] Speaker 6: to be like one of the best ones for like low, uh,
[38:24] Speaker 6: for like video stabilization and like low light, uh, recording.
[38:27] Speaker 6: So who knows? We'll be out there for about five days.
[38:33] Speaker 4: Please keep my– well, you'll have my email because you're
[38:37] Speaker 4: going to send the stuff. But I really want to
[38:40] Speaker 4: hear if anything happens because, yeah, there was stuff that
[38:46] Speaker 4: happened big time out there. There were sightings. There was
[38:50] Speaker 4: audio captured.
[38:51] Speaker 2: It was nuts.
[38:52] Speaker 6: I'll also send you– so I also have a couple
[38:54] Speaker 6: audio recorders and I'm kind of– I have a 3D printer,
[38:58] Speaker 6: so I'm kind of fabbing up. If I pick up
[39:00] Speaker 6: something to where I can stick my audio recorder onto
[39:04] Speaker 6: a 60,000 milliamp battery, which means I can record up
[39:08] Speaker 6: to 100 days like continuously for 24 hours, I'd have
[39:11] Speaker 6: to go up.
[39:12] Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
[39:12] Speaker 6: I'd have to go up once a week to replace
[39:14] Speaker 6: the SD card because that's the only limit to my–
[39:18] Speaker 6: that's the only limit to these recording devices right now.
[39:20] Speaker 6: So anything I find, I'll send you over the audio
[39:24] Speaker 6: files and I'll send you any any evidence that i
[39:27] Speaker 6: have if if you or after all this.
[39:30] Speaker 2: And do you use onyx i would imagine.
[39:32] Speaker 4: Oh yeah uh okay so you like mark yeah yeah

[40:10] Speaker 4: for coming up, UltraScoot.
[40:11] Speaker 2: Hey, Lori, how's it going?
[40:12] Speaker 5: Hi.
[40:12] Speaker 1: Hi.
[40:12] Speaker 6: Hi.
[40:14] Speaker 5: Good.
[40:14] Speaker 4: It sounds like you've had an interesting thing happen in
[40:17] Speaker 4: the Howell Island area of Missouri.
[40:19] Speaker 2: Is that correct?
[40:20] Speaker 5: Right. That's in Chesterfield, Missouri. It's West St. Louis County.
[40:25] Speaker 5: It's on the Missouri River.
[40:29] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[40:30] Speaker 4: I would love to hear about that if you wouldn't
[40:33] Speaker 4: mind sharing.
[40:34] Speaker 3: Sure.
[40:34] Speaker 5: I took them into the park. It's a park. It's
[40:39] Speaker 5: an island that's in the Missouri River. and it's been
[40:42] Speaker 5: turned over to the state for a state park. Years ago,
[40:47] Speaker 5: it was owned by an old man, and my husband
[40:49] Speaker 5: as a boy used to go there and hunt. It's
[40:52] Speaker 5: full of wildlife, boar, a lot of wild boars.
[40:56] Speaker 2: On there, deer.
[40:58] Speaker 5: So it's a perfect place for Bigfoot. So we drove in, parked,
[41:04] Speaker 5: and you go across the causeway, and then you walk
[41:07] Speaker 5: a trail. And we were walking the trail, And we
[41:12] Speaker 5: were probably between a half and three quarters of a
[41:15] Speaker 5: mile from the parking area. And we were walking on
[41:19] Speaker 5: this trail. And, you know, I stopped suddenly because I
[41:22] Speaker 5: knew without a doubt that we were being looked at.
[41:26] Speaker 5: And I just had the sense that my, you know,
[41:30] Speaker 5: my hair on my arm was standing on end. And
[41:33] Speaker 5: I thought. A conservation agent was spying on us, so
[41:38] Speaker 5: I'm kind of looking around to see if I can
[41:41] Speaker 5: see this conservation agent. And up ahead of us, maybe
[41:47] Speaker 5: 20 yards ahead, the path forked. And in between the
[41:52] Speaker 5: two forks there was this weed grown. It's an herb,
[41:56] Speaker 5: and it kind of looks like bamboo. And it was
[42:00] Speaker 5: growing there, and I looked, and down low to the
[42:02] Speaker 5: ground was this face in the bamboo looking right at us.
[42:07] Speaker 5: And the eyes and my eyes made contact, and I
[42:11] Speaker 5: looked at it, and it looked at me. And at
[42:14] Speaker 5: first I thought it was a human being because it
[42:17] Speaker 5: was so human looking in the face. But then I
[42:20] Speaker 5: noticed the skin was a really, really strange color, and
[42:25] Speaker 5: it was a very large face. And then I noticed
[42:28] Speaker 5: that it had a really long nose. I think the
[42:32] Speaker 5: word is Aquilian or kind of like a Roman nose,
[42:37] Speaker 5: a real long nose. And it had a gash going
[42:40] Speaker 5: across the top of the nose, a terrible gash. And
[42:44] Speaker 5: the nose was pushed over to the... facing me. It
[42:48] Speaker 5: was pushed over to the right side. So it would
[42:52] Speaker 5: have been like on the left side of it, I guess.
[42:54] Speaker 5: It looked like it had run into the side of
[42:56] Speaker 5: a truck or something. It was smashed over. And I
[43:00] Speaker 5: could tell that it had two black eyes. And I thought,
[43:05] Speaker 5: you know, that's got to hurt. And then all of
[43:08] Speaker 5: a sudden it just hit me. This is not a
[43:10] Speaker 5: human being I'm looking at. And I got really scared.
[43:15] Speaker 5: Because I'm like I said, at least a half a
[43:18] Speaker 5: mile from my truck. I'm with two really small kids.
[43:22] Speaker 5: My son was about four and my daughter was six.
[43:25] Speaker 5: And I thought, I'm out here. I'm not armed. My
[43:29] Speaker 5: kids are small. What am I going to do? So
[43:32] Speaker 5: I said, turn around.
[43:33] Speaker 6: We're going back to the truck now.
[43:35] Speaker 5: And they're like, what? I said, turn around and start marching.
[43:38] Speaker 5: We're going back to the truck. And it got up
[43:44] Speaker 5: and stood up and walked out into the path. And
[43:49] Speaker 5: I'm looking at this thing and I'm thinking, and it
[43:52] Speaker 5: just sounds crazy now, but I'm thinking, okay, I'm sizing
[43:55] Speaker 5: this thing up because I figure, okay, I'm going to
[43:58] Speaker 5: have to take this thing on. I've got my two
[44:01] Speaker 5: small kids here. I'm going to have to take on
[44:04] Speaker 5: this thing and I'm measuring it up. And I figured
[44:07] Speaker 5: if I went up, ran up to it and threw
[44:09] Speaker 5: my arms around it, I would come to it. The
[44:12] Speaker 5: top of my head would come to its solar plexus
[44:15] Speaker 5: and I'm five, nine. So this thing was probably seven
[44:18] Speaker 5: feet tall is what I'm thinking. And it stood there
[44:22] Speaker 5: and its arms were out of its side. And it
[44:24] Speaker 5: was kind of doing that flex thing. I think you
[44:28] Speaker 5: call it, you know, kind of taking its arms and
[44:30] Speaker 5: going like this, you know, in and out. And I go,
[44:33] Speaker 5: turn around and march. Come on, let's go, let's go,
[44:35] Speaker 5: let's go. Move, move. And they're really confused. You know,
[44:38] Speaker 5: they might have been a little older. He was maybe
[44:40] Speaker 5: five or six, and so she would have been about eight.
[44:44] Speaker 5: Because we turn around, we start heading back, and my
[44:47] Speaker 5: daughter goes, Mama, look.
[44:49] Speaker 3: Mama, look.
[44:51] Speaker 5: And I said, I don't want to look.
[44:52] Speaker 6: Let's go.
[44:53] Speaker 5: She goes, but look, look, Mama, look. I said, yeah,
[44:55] Speaker 5: I see it. I see it. It didn't seem to
[44:58] Speaker 5: want anything to do with us. Now, I saw it,
[45:00] Speaker 5: but I didn't see any boobs. I didn't see anything.
[45:03] Speaker 5: I could not tell if it was a male or female.
[45:06] Speaker 5: But looking back on it, I kind of got the
[45:08] Speaker 5: impression that it was a female. And I can't really
[45:12] Speaker 5: tell you why, but the way it was looking at
[45:15] Speaker 5: my kids, it seemed to be interested in my kids,
[45:18] Speaker 5: which really scared me. So that was it. It went
[45:23] Speaker 5: and continued across the path and down into the woods,
[45:26] Speaker 5: which was really swampy because it's right in the middle
[45:29] Speaker 5: of the Missouri River. And, excuse me, it disappeared into
[45:33] Speaker 5: the brush. And we went home. We were all excited.
[45:38] Speaker 5: And their father was there. And we went in and said.
[45:42] Speaker 6: We saw a Bigfoot.
[45:44] Speaker 5: We saw a Bigfoot. He's like, I've hunted that island
[45:46] Speaker 5: as a kid. There's no Bigfoot there. No, you didn't
[45:50] Speaker 5: see a Bigfoot. You saw something. Maybe a bear. Bears
[45:52] Speaker 5: are moving back in. No, no, this was a Bigfoot. No, no,
[45:56] Speaker 5: you didn't. So two or three nights later, 6 o'clock
[46:00] Speaker 5: news comes on, and he's sitting there. And the news reporter, St.
[46:04] Speaker 5: Louis News Report, Channel 2, said, Reportings of Bigfoot being
[46:09] Speaker 5: sighted on Howell Island in Chesterfield County. Boy, his mouth
[46:13] Speaker 5: dropped open. He said, well, I'll be damned. Yep.
[46:17] Speaker 4: What year is this again?
[46:22] Speaker 5: And the reason I was there was because I was
[46:24] Speaker 5: having heart surgery the next day. And it was going
[46:27] Speaker 5: to be really... What? We hadn't married in.
[46:32] Speaker 2: No.
[46:33] Speaker 5: It was... Jake was 99. So this was 2000 and... eight,
[46:43] Speaker 5: maybe 2006, 2008, somewhere back in there.
[46:47] Speaker 3: Okay.
[46:49] Speaker 5: And, um, I've been a little earlier. I can't remember
[46:54] Speaker 5: right now. Um, yeah. So I wanted to have a
[46:57] Speaker 5: really good memory with my kids because of, you know,
[47:01] Speaker 5: I didn't know what the next day was going to bring.
[47:04] Speaker 2: I got it.
[47:04] Speaker 1: Wow.
[47:06] Speaker 5: We went back, um, And I wanted to show my
[47:10] Speaker 5: husband where this thing was and where that fork is.
[47:14] Speaker 5: And those bamboo type rushes were laying there. They were
[47:20] Speaker 5: all smashed down. And I said, that's where it was.
[47:24] Speaker 5: It was close to the ground. I said, I think
[47:25] Speaker 5: it was laying in those weeds. And we disturbed it
[47:30] Speaker 5: because it was so close to the ground when we
[47:32] Speaker 5: saw it. And he's like, well, deer do that. Deer
[47:35] Speaker 5: lay down. And I said, yeah, but we didn't see
[47:38] Speaker 5: a deer. We saw this. And this is where it is.
[47:40] Speaker 5: And this is all smashed down. So then my son
[47:43] Speaker 5: starts waving his hand, look at this, look at this.
[47:46] Speaker 5: And there were footprints. And they were huge. And they
[47:51] Speaker 5: were really huge. And I remember that it was like
[47:57] Speaker 5: in late February because we were having really nice weather
[48:00] Speaker 5: for the time of the year. But, you know, when
[48:03] Speaker 5: you step on the ground, it was still cold enough.
[48:05] Speaker 5: You did not leave any kind of track. None of
[48:08] Speaker 5: us did. But my husband with his boots on, me
[48:11] Speaker 5: with my boots on, no tracks. But these things were
[48:13] Speaker 5: smashed down into the dirt. It was heavy enough that
[48:17] Speaker 5: it was leaving these tracks. And we figured they were
[48:21] Speaker 5: probably 14 inches long. We were looking at them. And
[48:25] Speaker 5: I thought, okay, we've got to come back here with
[48:26] Speaker 5: some plaster and and make a cast of these because
[48:30] Speaker 5: nobody's going to believe the size of these prints. So
[48:33] Speaker 5: we went home after that. And that night it rained
[48:36] Speaker 5: so heavy. And I thought those, those are, and then
[48:39] Speaker 5: the causeway to the, uh, Island, you know, went over.
[48:42] Speaker 5: And so we weren't able to go back for, you know,
[48:45] Speaker 5: probably a month or so. And I haven't been back
[48:48] Speaker 5: once or twice since then.
[48:53] Speaker 2: How much of, how much of it would you say
[48:56] Speaker 2: was covered with hair?
[48:58] Speaker 5: All of it. except for its face okay it's its
[49:02] Speaker 5: face and um it was a different the skin was
[49:07] Speaker 5: a kind of a i say it's like army khaki
[49:10] Speaker 5: color skin kind of a greenish gray skin and it
[49:15] Speaker 5: had a long it didn't have a monkey nose or
[49:17] Speaker 5: white dust it didn't have that at all had a
[49:20] Speaker 5: long thin nose coming down its face didn't have a
[49:24] Speaker 5: mustache didn't have a a beard didn't not that i
[49:28] Speaker 5: could see it had it was the face was bare
[49:30] Speaker 5: but that's the only bare part i saw on.
[49:32] Speaker 4: It that is so unique um do you remember any
[49:36] Speaker 4: details about the mouth at all or did you see
[49:38] Speaker 4: any teeth.
[49:39] Speaker 5: It had a wide mouth, but the lips were thin.
[49:44] Speaker 5: A long, wide, thin mouth. Very human looking. Didn't see
[49:50] Speaker 5: any teeth.
[49:54] Speaker 4: Any emotions like aggressive or like teeth being bared or
[50:00] Speaker 4: anything like that?
[50:01] Speaker 5: No, no teeth being bared. But when it stood up
[50:04] Speaker 5: from its down low position, it was only a couple
[50:07] Speaker 5: inches off the ground. And I had turned around with
[50:10] Speaker 5: the kids because I thought, well, they haven't seen the
[50:13] Speaker 5: face yet. I don't want them to see this. And
[50:16] Speaker 5: we started walking back and my daughter turned around and
[50:19] Speaker 5: it was in the middle of the path looking at us,
[50:22] Speaker 5: its arms down, but kind of flexing its arms. I mean,
[50:25] Speaker 5: it was just standing there clear as a bell. And
[50:29] Speaker 5: besides for its arms moving, it was just not moving
[50:33] Speaker 5: at all. No aggression on its face. No, no mouthing anything. No.
[50:42] Speaker 2: What kind of head shape did it have?
[50:45] Speaker 5: I'm trying to remember. It didn't have– I've seen pictures
[50:58] Speaker 5: of Bigfoot that have those misshapen heads with a knot
[51:03] Speaker 5: in the back. This did not have that. This was
[51:07] Speaker 5: so very human-looking.
[51:08] Speaker 8: Interesting.
[51:09] Speaker 5: Besides for the hair covering it, and being extremely large.
[51:12] Speaker 5: I mean, the arms were as big as my thighs.
[51:16] Speaker 2: You know, it was huge.
[51:17] Speaker 5: The legs were like tree trunks. It was really massive.
[51:21] Speaker 5: Its chest and, you know, its torso was like a barrel,
[51:28] Speaker 5: like a huge barrel with these tree trunks coming out
[51:32] Speaker 5: of it and just a normal, it had hair on
[51:36] Speaker 5: it so I couldn't see the neck. And, you know,
[51:39] Speaker 5: if it had ears, I couldn't see those. I don't
[51:41] Speaker 5: remember any ears.
[51:44] Speaker 4: Did you get a good look at the eyes at all?
[51:49] Speaker 5: I saw the eyes when I first made contact and
[51:52] Speaker 5: it was on the ground. And that's what made me
[51:55] Speaker 5: think it was a human being at first is the
[51:58] Speaker 5: eyes looking right into my eyes. I mean, we were
[52:01] Speaker 5: looking right at each other and they were big, but
[52:05] Speaker 5: they were human looking eyes.
[52:08] Speaker 4: Were there any whites to the eyes at all, or
[52:10] Speaker 4: was it all just one color?
[52:12] Speaker 5: No, I believe there was whites. I thought it was
[52:16] Speaker 5: a person at first.
[52:21] Speaker 4: Roger's got a good question. Were the hands similar to ours,
[52:24] Speaker 4: or did you notice any differences?
[52:27] Speaker 5: When I'm thinking back, it was standing there. That's the
[52:30] Speaker 5: only time I saw its hands and its feet. They looked...
[52:37] Speaker 5: I mean, I would say he had five digits. And
[52:42] Speaker 5: everything was extremely large compared to our skinny little fingers.
[52:51] Speaker 2: Hair on the back of the hands.
[52:53] Speaker 5: Yep. Yeah. When I think back on it, my main
[52:58] Speaker 5: thought back then in confronting this thing was, You know,
[53:02] Speaker 5: my God, I'm going to have to fight this thing.
[53:04] Speaker 5: I'm going to have to protect my kids. I don't
[53:06] Speaker 5: have a chance against this thing. I can maybe fight
[53:10] Speaker 5: it off for a couple seconds while my kids run.
[53:14] Speaker 5: But will they run? No, my kids aren't going to run.
[53:16] Speaker 6: They're not going to leave me.
[53:18] Speaker 5: I mean, if I could hand my daughter my car keys,
[53:20] Speaker 5: have her run back to the truck, what good is
[53:22] Speaker 5: that going to do? She's not going to be able
[53:24] Speaker 5: to do anything. All this stuff in nanoseconds is rushing
[53:28] Speaker 5: through my mind, thinking, how am I going to keep
[53:31] Speaker 5: this thing away from my children? Right.
[53:34] Speaker 1: Wow.
[53:35] Speaker 2: Oh, man.
[53:36] Speaker 5: That is just all that I was thinking about is,
[53:40] Speaker 5: how am I going to take this thing on? And
[53:43] Speaker 5: I don't know if it knew what I was thinking,
[53:45] Speaker 5: but it didn't show any aggression.
[53:47] Speaker 4: It didn't.
[53:48] Speaker 5: It just walked off.
[53:50] Speaker 4: It probably knew you were one that it was not
[53:53] Speaker 4: going to mess with. Another question about the hands from
[53:56] Speaker 4: the comments. The palm of the hand, was it a
[54:00] Speaker 4: longer palm or kind of the same way our hands
[54:04] Speaker 4: were set up?
[54:05] Speaker 5: The arms were long. I noticed that the arms were
[54:09] Speaker 5: longer than like ours were. are. I, I remember that,
[54:15] Speaker 5: but I, I, I was so scared and so worried
[54:18] Speaker 5: about my kids that I wasn't constant. I just wanted
[54:20] Speaker 5: to get away. That's all I wanted.
[54:22] Speaker 4: Oh, I, I totally, I totally get it.
[54:24] Speaker 2: That's really, man.
[54:26] Speaker 4: That's a, that's interesting. Have you ever reached out to
[54:29] Speaker 4: Miguel from Sasquatch theory? No, he is a gentleman who
[54:34] Speaker 4: he focuses primarily on encounters from Missouri. He's a, he's
[54:39] Speaker 4: a guy down there, but check out his YouTube channel.
[54:42] Speaker 4: and I believe his contact is on there, but, um, uh, he, yeah,
[54:48] Speaker 4: he's the, he's pretty much the Missouri guy, but, uh,
[54:51] Speaker 4: thank you so much for hopping on.
[54:53] Speaker 2: He's a younger guy.
[54:54] Speaker 5: Yep. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. I think I did talk to him.
[54:57] Speaker 5: He was asking me about it and I told him,
[55:00] Speaker 5: but we never really went anywhere with it.
[55:03] Speaker 2: I never got back to him.
[55:04] Speaker 5: I've had several heart surgeries and I, I just haven't
[55:08] Speaker 5: followed through with.
[55:10] Speaker 2: You know, understand.
[55:11] Speaker 5: Yeah.
[55:13] Speaker 4: Well, Lori, thank you so much for hopping on and
[55:16] Speaker 4: for sharing about that area. It's definitely one I'll be
[55:19] Speaker 4: remembering from here on out. So I appreciate it.
[55:22] Speaker 1: Good.
[55:22] Speaker 3: Thank you.
[55:23] Speaker 6: Good night now.
[55:24] Speaker 5: You too.
[55:25] Speaker 2: Wow.
[55:26] Speaker 4: That was such an interesting story from an area that
[55:30] Speaker 4: I have not really heard of just outside of St.
[55:33] Speaker 5: Louis.
[55:33] Speaker 2: Hey, this is Jeremiah.
[55:35] Speaker 4: Have you had a Bigfoot encounter you'd like to share?
[55:38] Speaker 1: Sure. All right.
[55:39] Speaker 7: Go right ahead.
[55:40] Speaker 5: Okay.
[55:41] Speaker 9: So let me just turn on my camera real quick.
[55:45] Speaker 9: You can see I'm like a real person, not a troll.
[55:48] Speaker 6: Hello, everyone.
[55:48] Speaker 3: Hello.
[55:50] Speaker 9: So the one Bigfoot encounter that I've actually had, it
[55:57] Speaker 9: came out of Decatur, Texas. I don't know if you're
[56:01] Speaker 9: familiar with that area. There is a huge section of
[56:06] Speaker 9: public property. It's called the LBJ National Grasslands. And on
[56:13] Speaker 9: this property, there's homes on the properties throughout, just the
[56:17] Speaker 9: farmers that take care of and manage the land around it. Well,
[56:21] Speaker 9: we were driving through and we were doing some scouting
[56:23] Speaker 9: for deer and we're hunting and we came across blood.
[56:27] Speaker 9: And as we were trailing this blood, we didn't know
[56:29] Speaker 9: what it belonged to. We were just like, hey, there's
[56:31] Speaker 9: blood on the ground. You know, it's obviously, it's a
[56:33] Speaker 9: tracker's instinct to, you know, just see what happened. Well,
[56:36] Speaker 9: we come down this trail and into this clearing, and
[56:39] Speaker 9: there was like calf prints, like a small cow, calf.
[56:43] Speaker 9: And you could see where, there was only like that big,
[56:44] Speaker 9: it wasn't a full-grown calf. And growing up in the
[56:47] Speaker 9: deer woods, growing up in the country, I know what
[56:49] Speaker 9: I'm looking at when I see fur.
[56:50] Speaker 7: I know what kind of fur belongs to what kind
[56:52] Speaker 7: of animal. One second.
[56:54] Speaker 5: Yes? Yes?
[56:57] Speaker 6: I'm on live, yes? It's okay.
[57:00] Speaker 9: So I seen the fur on the ground, and I
[57:02] Speaker 9: could tell that something had gotten a hold of this
[57:04] Speaker 9: baby calf.
[57:05] Speaker 7: I could tell.
[57:05] Speaker 9: I figured coyote, bobcat, the typical stuff, right? And it's
[57:09] Speaker 9: just calf got separated from his mom. Well, I'm walking
[57:12] Speaker 9: down the trail, and I stop. And I'm looking around
[57:17] Speaker 9: at this stuff, and my buddy, Patrick, that was with me,
[57:19] Speaker 9: he said, don't move.
[57:20] Speaker 7: Don't move and don't move.
[57:21] Speaker 9: I thought he meant snake, right? And he said, look
[57:24] Speaker 9: right down at your feet. And I looked down, and
[57:26] Speaker 9: that track right there was right under my feet. And
[57:29] Speaker 9: I looked down, and I just kind of froze for
[57:31] Speaker 9: a second.
[57:31] Speaker 6: I looked at it, and I'm like, what was that?
[57:33] Speaker 9: And then I looked up, and above me, higher than
[57:35] Speaker 9: I could reach, I'm six foot tall, and higher than
[57:37] Speaker 9: I could reach, the branches kind of went together like
[57:40] Speaker 9: that over these bushes, and they were dangling like this.
[57:44] Speaker 9: Like something had walked through it. You know, like at
[57:46] Speaker 9: waist high, it's a human or deer, something like that.
[57:49] Speaker 9: But up here, there's no reason for the tips of
[57:51] Speaker 9: these branches to be all dangling like that. And I
[57:55] Speaker 9: looked at that, and I looked down at that track there,
[57:58] Speaker 9: and my buddy Patrick was with me, and I just
[58:00] Speaker 9: started shaking my head. I was like, don't play with me, dude.
[58:04] Speaker 9: I don't even want to talk about that. I don't
[58:05] Speaker 9: believe in that, you know, whatever. Well, we left that area,
[58:10] Speaker 9: and we went right up the hill to this farmer's house,
[58:13] Speaker 9: and we were going to ask him about it.
[58:14] Speaker 7: I took the picture.
[58:15] Speaker 9: I wanted to ask him about it. And he was
[58:17] Speaker 9: out there chopping wood, old guy, probably in his 80s,
[58:19] Speaker 9: late 70s, early 80s. And I asked him, You know, hey,
[58:23] Speaker 9: how you doing?
[58:23] Speaker 7: How much did you get for a quarter of wood?
[58:24] Speaker 3: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
[58:26] Speaker 9: So I asked him, I said, hey, have you ever
[58:29] Speaker 9: seen anything out here? You know, you're missing a calf.
[58:33] Speaker 7: You know, you notice anything kind of strange going on?
[58:35] Speaker 7: He just kind of looked at me. He's like, what
[58:37] Speaker 7: are you getting at? Tell me. I showed him the picture,
[58:39] Speaker 7: and he kind of looked at it, and he looked
[58:40] Speaker 7: up at me, and he just kind of started shaking
[58:42] Speaker 7: his head, and he said, yeah. He said, they're here.
[58:44] Speaker 7: He said, well, you've got squatches here. And I said,
[58:46] Speaker 7: you've got squatches here. You've seen Sasquatch. And he said,
[58:49] Speaker 7: I've seen Sasquatch.
[58:50] Speaker 9: Five or six seven i don't know if they're all
[58:52] Speaker 9: different he told me he said when i now he
[58:55] Speaker 9: had lived there his whole life right he said um
[58:58] Speaker 9: when he was in his 50s he said it was
[59:00] Speaker 9: the last he has three fields in the very furthest
[59:02] Speaker 9: back field he said he was out plowing it one
[59:04] Speaker 9: day and he said he seen something stand up on
[59:06] Speaker 9: the tree line and when he stood up he looked
[59:08] Speaker 9: at it through binoculars and he said it looked like
[59:12] Speaker 9: someone was carrying a backpack, like a big, and then
[59:14] Speaker 9: all of a sudden, he seen the backpack drop off
[59:18] Speaker 9: of the, I guess it was like a mama carrying
[59:20] Speaker 9: her young one on her back or something, and it
[59:22] Speaker 9: looked like a little one was being let down. and
[59:25] Speaker 9: he kind of stopped, and it startled him. He said
[59:27] Speaker 9: it startled him, but then he looked right up into
[59:28] Speaker 9: the trees, and he said the biggest creature he'd ever seen,
[59:32] Speaker 9: and he said it had bright yellow eyes.
[59:34] Speaker 7: He said it was like it was peering into his soul.
[59:37] Speaker 9: He's telling me this, and I'm telling Patrick, I'm like,
[59:39] Speaker 9: he's embellishing this, right? He's just like, He's winding us
[59:42] Speaker 9: up basically. But this man is 80 years old. He's
[59:43] Speaker 9: got no reason to lie to me over something like that.
[59:46] Speaker 9: And he said since that time, and this was 20,
[59:48] Speaker 9: 30 years, he said he's never plowed that field again.
[59:51] Speaker 7: He stays away from it.
[59:52] Speaker 9: He doesn't go back there. He didn't go past the
[59:53] Speaker 9: second field. I'm thinking this is this man's land. This
[59:56] Speaker 9: is kind of crazy. Well, having a firsthand experience with
[1:00:00] Speaker 9: this footprint and the tree limbs and putting two and
[1:00:02] Speaker 9: two together, he told me something that was really kind
[1:00:08] Speaker 9: of– Strange and why he thought this I don't know
[1:00:12] Speaker 9: but he felt he felt like I to some degree,
[1:00:17] Speaker 9: these squatches, he kept calling them squatches, but he said
[1:00:20] Speaker 9: to some degree, he believes that these squatches were using
[1:00:23] Speaker 9: like coyotes or the mountain lions or the cougars or
[1:00:26] Speaker 9: whatever as like, kind of like how we use hunting dogs, right?
[1:00:29] Speaker 9: They would let them go in and make the killing.
[1:00:31] Speaker 9: They would go in and scoop it up, like cohabitation
[1:00:33] Speaker 9: or whatever. And he said he only believes this because
[1:00:35] Speaker 9: they found a, I guess the TPWD, the Texas Park
[1:00:39] Speaker 9: Wildlife Development or whatever, came out onto his land and
[1:00:42] Speaker 9: did a survey and they found this kind of what
[1:00:44] Speaker 9: we would call a cave, I guess, but it was
[1:00:45] Speaker 9: more just like a hollowed out area of, you know,
[1:00:47] Speaker 9: the backside of this creek. And they walked in there
[1:00:49] Speaker 9: and there was bones from cows and dogs and all.
[1:00:52] Speaker 7: Kinds of crazy shit. Like where something had been taken
[1:00:55] Speaker 7: to a specific spot to eat. Coyotes don't do that.
[1:00:58] Speaker 7: Mountain lions do not do that.
[1:00:59] Speaker 9: They do not take all of their prey to a
[1:01:01] Speaker 9: specific spot. They leave it where they're eating it.
[1:01:04] Speaker 7: All of them do. They don't all go back to
[1:01:06] Speaker 7: their den with it. They don't do that.
[1:01:09] Speaker 9: And, you know, hearing that from this man and seeing
[1:01:11] Speaker 9: this footprint, right, and seeing the trees and all that, uh,
[1:01:14] Speaker 9: and knowing that this calf had met an end, like.
[1:01:17] Speaker 7: You could see, like there was definitely a tussle with
[1:01:19] Speaker 7: this thing. You know what I mean?
[1:01:20] Speaker 9: And I guess after that time, I kind of had
[1:01:24] Speaker 9: to go based on evidence that I hadn't seen a squash.
[1:01:28] Speaker 9: I've spent a lot of time in the woods since
[1:01:31] Speaker 9: I was a young kid hunting and blinds.
[1:01:33] Speaker 7: I've, you think you see.
[1:01:35] Speaker 9: Things all the time when you're out there hunting. I've
[1:01:37] Speaker 9: never directly seen a Sasquatch, but I've seen this that
[1:01:40] Speaker 9: I know was legit. And, blood, it looked like a massacre, right?
[1:01:44] Speaker 9: There's blood everywhere, and sign, and a first-hand witness that
[1:01:49] Speaker 9: lived literally, I could hit his house with a rock,
[1:01:52] Speaker 9: you know what I mean? He lived right up the
[1:01:54] Speaker 9: way from there. So, and I gotta take the word
[1:01:57] Speaker 9: of somebody who's there all the time, you know what
[1:01:58] Speaker 9: I mean?
[1:01:59] Speaker 5: Oh, absolutely.
[1:02:00] Speaker 4: There was a really good question from Squatch and Howard.
[1:02:05] Speaker 4: Was it dripped blood or something being dragged?
[1:02:09] Speaker 9: It looked like something had, I don't know, It wasn't
[1:02:13] Speaker 9: like your typical where, like, if a mountain lion grabs
[1:02:15] Speaker 9: it by the neck or if a coyote, like, pulls
[1:02:19] Speaker 9: it and they start ripping it apart from different directions.
[1:02:21] Speaker 9: It wasn't like that. The calf, you could see where
[1:02:24] Speaker 9: its hooves had, like, slid in the mud as if
[1:02:26] Speaker 9: it was trying to make sharp turns. And the hair,
[1:02:28] Speaker 9: that's what was so weird about it because cows don't
[1:02:30] Speaker 9: have long hair. But the hair, it looked like the
[1:02:32] Speaker 9: hide had been ripped from it because there was just
[1:02:35] Speaker 9: hair everywhere. And coyotes don't do that. Bobcats don't do that.
[1:02:39] Speaker 9: Mountain lions don't do that. And that's another– the blood
[1:02:42] Speaker 9: was so in piles. It was like big pools as
[1:02:46] Speaker 9: if it was laid there and like maybe pressed or
[1:02:49] Speaker 9: grabbed or something was squeezing it out of it. It
[1:02:51] Speaker 9: wasn't like it was like– if you've ever seen blood
[1:02:54] Speaker 9: splatter from like a crime scene, it kind of looks
[1:02:57] Speaker 9: that way when coyotes get a hold of it.
[1:02:58] Speaker 6: It's just everywhere.
[1:02:59] Speaker 9: In the trees, it's all over the rocks, everywhere. And
[1:03:02] Speaker 9: it's all spread out. This was big piles of blood. And,
[1:03:06] Speaker 9: you know– The one thing that this old man told
[1:03:11] Speaker 9: me about the yellow eyes, when he said it, there
[1:03:13] Speaker 9: was such a profoundness in his voice. Like, you could
[1:03:16] Speaker 9: tell he shook him up. Like, even 30 years later,
[1:03:18] Speaker 9: he still remembers it. Like, if it was, like, so
[1:03:22] Speaker 9: burned into his memory. And he said that thing was
[1:03:25] Speaker 9: looking right at me. He said it's like he can.
[1:03:27] Speaker 7: See into my tractor. He said I was 100 yards away.
[1:03:30] Speaker 9: He said, but, you know, when I seen whatever that
[1:03:33] Speaker 9: was stand up, he.
[1:03:34] Speaker 7: Said it looked like a human. It looked like a
[1:03:37] Speaker 7: big human.
[1:03:38] Speaker 9: And was carrying a backpack, and then all of a
[1:03:39] Speaker 9: sudden the backpack dropped, and you could tell that the
[1:03:41] Speaker 9: backpack started moving.
[1:03:42] Speaker 7: There's a little one on his mama's back.
[1:03:45] Speaker 6: Which makes sense.
[1:03:45] Speaker 9: I mean, little details like that, people that, in my estimation,
[1:03:49] Speaker 9: people that see something like that can't make up those
[1:03:53] Speaker 9: fine details like that.
[1:03:54] Speaker 7: You know what I mean? They're not quick enough to think, oh,
[1:03:57] Speaker 7: I can just throw that in there. No, they're not.
[1:03:58] Speaker 7: It's just something that's just.
[1:03:59] Speaker 6: Truth has a benefit.
[1:04:00] Speaker 5: Exactly.
[1:04:00] Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
[1:04:02] Speaker 7: But the yellow eyes, I don't know. myth or folklore.
[1:04:07] Speaker 7: The only thing I've ever heard about like yellow eyes,
[1:04:09] Speaker 7: like werewolf, right?
[1:04:10] Speaker 9: I've heard yellow eyes for werewolves or whatever, but Bigfoot,
[1:04:13] Speaker 9: they're pretty common here in Texas. Like the thought of them, right?
[1:04:17] Speaker 9: People talk about it. It's not like, you know, it's,
[1:04:20] Speaker 9: it's not like taboo to talk about. You hear about
[1:04:21] Speaker 9: it all the time. But for me personally, 37 years old,
[1:04:25] Speaker 9: I've hunted every year of my life.
[1:04:27] Speaker 7: I've never seen it. I've never seen a Bigfoot, but this,
[1:04:30] Speaker 7: this was on the trail.
[1:04:32] Speaker 9: This footprint was on the trail where that calf had
[1:04:35] Speaker 9: been slaughtered.
[1:04:36] Speaker 7: It was on the trail. Where the trail goes, it
[1:04:39] Speaker 7: opens up into a meadow.
[1:04:40] Speaker 9: This was less than 10 yards from where that first
[1:04:44] Speaker 9: pool of blood was.
[1:04:44] Speaker 1: Is this area by a big river?
[1:04:51] Speaker 9: His property, the guys that's right up the hill from there,
[1:04:54] Speaker 9: literally hit it with a rock, you can see it
[1:04:56] Speaker 9: from there, has a big creek that runs through it,
[1:04:58] Speaker 9: and there's ponds all over the property.
[1:05:00] Speaker 7: There's six or eight different big bodies of water, lots
[1:05:03] Speaker 7: of oil rigs out there and stuff, and stuff like that.
[1:05:07] Speaker 2: Thanks for coming out, dude.
[1:05:10] Speaker 6: Bye-bye.
