[0:03] Speaker 1: In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to [0:05] Speaker 1: bring you first hand encounters from people who say they've [0:08] Speaker 1: seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers [0:12] Speaker 1: to quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere, [0:16] Speaker 1: and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. [0:20] Speaker 1: These are the voices of the people who've lived it. [0:24] Speaker 1: To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that [0:27] Speaker 1: just might change the way you see the woods forever. [0:30] Speaker 1: So stay with us, all right, Big for Society. You've [0:32] Speaker 1: got the privilege of talking to Greg from the Cryptozoology [0:35] Speaker 1: YouTube channel today and that's with a k at the beginning. [0:38] Speaker 1: We'll have that linked in the show notes for sure. [0:40] Speaker 1: Greg is a documentary filmmaker from Pennsylvania. He's got a [0:44] Speaker 1: degree in Electronic media and film and he's also a [0:48] Speaker 1: member of the Screen Actors Guild, which is pretty cool, [0:51] Speaker 1: and he's been documenting his Bigfoot related experiences all around [0:56] Speaker 1: the mid Atlantic region. I've been wanting to have Greg [0:58] Speaker 1: on the show for a while. We're finally able to [1:01] Speaker 1: get him on the show. [1:02] Speaker 2: Today. [1:02] Speaker 1: So how are you doing today, Greg? [1:04] Speaker 2: Oh great, Jeremy, I thank you so much for having [1:06] Speaker 2: me on. Absolutely, yeah, I guess I guess I'll just [1:11] Speaker 2: start in a West Virginia. That's kind of where actually [1:14] Speaker 2: I had my first experience, uh a number of years ago. [1:18] Speaker 2: And this is actually before I was really even into [1:21] Speaker 2: cryptozoology or anything of the like. And I was actually [1:25] Speaker 2: I was visiting a friend out in like I said, [1:27] Speaker 2: like the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, and so I [1:31] Speaker 2: was coming back and this deer cut cut in front [1:35] Speaker 2: of me, and it was really bizarre just because like [1:38] Speaker 2: I've driven you know, you know, thousands of miles of [1:40] Speaker 2: back roads and never never really had too many you [1:43] Speaker 2: know deer, you know, wild turkey kind of cut out [1:46] Speaker 2: in front of me, and you know the so the [1:50] Speaker 2: deer crosses the road and then uh, there's there's a [1:54] Speaker 2: predator following it and it had it looked like it [1:58] Speaker 2: was like a dog like like just like almost looked [2:03] Speaker 2: like a wild dog. And so I really kind of [2:06] Speaker 2: you know, looked into this subject and it's I know, [2:10] Speaker 2: it's kind of crazy, but there's actually been hyena sightings [2:15] Speaker 2: like in North America, and I I kind of I [2:20] Speaker 2: looked into this and there's there's actually like Hyaena sightings [2:24] Speaker 2: in like West Virginia a lot, and it because it [2:27] Speaker 2: didn't really fit into that category of being a dog [2:31] Speaker 2: or like a coyote or a wolf, and it just [2:34] Speaker 2: had these like large, like large haunches and it looked [2:38] Speaker 2: at me and then just continued to pursue the deer. [2:43] Speaker 2: And I had always had, like, you know, some interest [2:46] Speaker 2: in you know the macabre, you know, with like Arthur C. [2:49] Speaker 2: Clark's and a serious world and so on, you know, [2:52] Speaker 2: watching that back in the nineties when I was a kid, [2:54] Speaker 2: and to really to have something like so weird like [2:58] Speaker 2: dash out in front of me, it really kind of [3:00] Speaker 2: changed my whole like paradigm for you know, what what's [3:04] Speaker 2: possible and what can exist. And so I did like [3:07] Speaker 2: a little bit of research. And I'm not sure if [3:09] Speaker 2: you're familiar with it. It's called the shunka wall rackn Yes, [3:14] Speaker 2: in yes, yeah, yeah, that's in like I believe Montana, [3:18] Speaker 2: like out towards you know, more like the Pacific Northwest, [3:22] Speaker 2: and you know, it was it was known as like [3:24] Speaker 2: a predator that carried carried off dogs like that was [3:28] Speaker 2: kind of the nickname for it, and having having seen [3:32] Speaker 2: this thing really kind of you know, blew my mind [3:36] Speaker 2: like that, like what, you know, what is what is [3:39] Speaker 2: happening out here? This This was like maybe like two [3:42] Speaker 2: thousand and eight, and so I really didn't have like [3:45] Speaker 2: that developed of an interest in cryptozoology. And it wasn't [3:49] Speaker 2: really untill like almost like the twenty tens with like [3:52] Speaker 2: you know, finding Bigfoot and like things like that and [3:56] Speaker 2: kind of Sasquatch you know, chronicles like you know, kind [3:59] Speaker 2: of blowing up. I was like, oh, okay, this is [4:01] Speaker 2: subject is like kind of kind of interesting. And so [4:05] Speaker 2: I had my I actually had some experiences in Maryland. [4:10] Speaker 2: I actually I used to live in Maryland for moving [4:12] Speaker 2: back to PA. And so there's the in Maryland, there's [4:17] Speaker 2: the goat Man. That's the that's kind of like you know, [4:21] Speaker 2: I lived like near like you know, kind of southern [4:23] Speaker 2: near Napolis, Maryland, and that's like a really really famous [4:28] Speaker 2: you know area for you know, sightings of the goat man. [4:33] Speaker 2: And you know, really I looked into the whole area [4:36] Speaker 2: and actually the whole that Governor's Bridge Road right now [4:39] Speaker 2: is actually shut down and it's been like repeatedly shut [4:42] Speaker 2: down and you know, first time, I believe it was [4:46] Speaker 2: like the bridge actually just got washed out. But the [4:49] Speaker 2: second time, like a like a tractor trailer like was [4:52] Speaker 2: trying to get through there, like they rebuilt the bridge [4:54] Speaker 2: and everything and so and it's still been shut down [4:57] Speaker 2: so like all along there for like the past ten [5:00] Speaker 2: or fifteen years, you know, where where Goatman is like [5:03] Speaker 2: reportedly like the sightings, it's all been shut down for [5:06] Speaker 2: like almost like two decades, which is like super crazy. [5:11] Speaker 2: And so I I have a friend and so she [5:15] Speaker 2: actually kind of like lives over in that area, and [5:20] Speaker 2: she so we were like camp kind of camping outside [5:22] Speaker 2: that type of thing, and like it was it just [5:27] Speaker 2: it's it started to rain right like it So it [5:29] Speaker 2: was like a normal, normal night and then like out [5:34] Speaker 2: of nowhere, this like large like sigh like came came [5:40] Speaker 2: from the woods. Like you know, it just it was [5:43] Speaker 2: like someone like a like a giant like almost like [5:45] Speaker 2: a like a like a bear or something. But there's [5:48] Speaker 2: absolutely there's no bears that are in like in this [5:52] Speaker 2: area in like southern Maryland, like they've been like extirpated [5:56] Speaker 2: for like decades, and and so so like you know, [6:00] Speaker 2: I talked around to her neighbors, and yeah, the neighbors [6:04] Speaker 2: said that you know, they uh they saw like red [6:08] Speaker 2: eyes at eight eight feet in the in the area, [6:12] Speaker 2: and like also that a neighbor said that, you know, [6:17] Speaker 2: they there was a goose that actually got caught in [6:20] Speaker 2: her fence and she heard these like large footsteps like [6:25] Speaker 2: like bound across the area and and it grabbed that [6:30] Speaker 2: that goose that was like stuck in the fence. And [6:34] Speaker 2: another another person she reported that there was you know, [6:37] Speaker 2: she felt like she was being like there's there's like [6:39] Speaker 2: fishing spots down there, and and she felt like there [6:43] Speaker 2: was she was being followed, and she had this really [6:46] Speaker 2: creepy feeling like it was a real, real, real bizarre [6:49] Speaker 2: experience for her. And so that in terms of that area, [6:54] Speaker 2: you know, I feel like a lot of people are [6:57] Speaker 2: kind of like mislabeling you know, goat man and and [7:00] Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, like that's that's like a [7:02] Speaker 2: common occurrence, you know, in terms of like the same [7:05] Speaker 2: you know, the Jersey Devil and things like that, like [7:09] Speaker 2: people just put like a different name like a local [7:14] Speaker 2: colloquialism for uh, you know, for Bigfoot. And I think [7:18] Speaker 2: in Maryland, like you know, Bigfoot can really just be [7:21] Speaker 2: called like goat man. So I guess to keep keep [7:26] Speaker 2: on moving on, you know, with with my experiences in Maryland. [7:30] Speaker 2: There's there's a really amazing park it's called Calvert Cliffs [7:35] Speaker 2: and that's that's that. That's more. That's more in southern [7:40] Speaker 2: Maryland also, and my daughter and I were actually we [7:43] Speaker 2: would visit there. This you know, this this is still [7:46] Speaker 2: kind of like before you know, I was really doing [7:49] Speaker 2: anything with like you know, cryptozoology or anything of the like. [7:52] Speaker 2: And you know, we were walking like through the park [7:56] Speaker 2: and it was it was like a weird time because [7:58] Speaker 2: like most people already gone back to school, so it [8:01] Speaker 2: was like it was like early like late fall and [8:04] Speaker 2: I'm sorry early fall like late summer. And there was [8:08] Speaker 2: like a porter potty there and I it was it's [8:12] Speaker 2: a long walk. Like Calvert Cliffs is known for its [8:15] Speaker 2: like shark teeth, its fossils, so it's like a real [8:19] Speaker 2: like really unique area. And so we're walking back and uh, [8:25] Speaker 2: you know, I had to stop and use there's like [8:27] Speaker 2: a porter potty there, and you know that you know, [8:30] Speaker 2: they had that usually like porter potties have those like [8:32] Speaker 2: spring loaded like doors, and it as soon as like [8:38] Speaker 2: that happened. We had a response like across this bog [8:42] Speaker 2: of like two knocks, like two wood knocks, and it [8:45] Speaker 2: was like this it was just like the strangest, strangest [8:48] Speaker 2: thing that's like ever happened to us. And like even [8:50] Speaker 2: even my daughter like looked at me and was like, [8:52] Speaker 2: you know, what is that? Right? It was just like really, [8:55] Speaker 2: you know, kind of like bizarre, bizarre experience. And I [9:00] Speaker 2: guess also with Maryland also, like there's also I guess [9:04] Speaker 2: in terms of cryptozoology in general, there's plenty of Chessea [9:08] Speaker 2: sightings like in the area, So Chessa is basically kind [9:12] Speaker 2: of like you know, the Locke Monster of the Chesapeake [9:14] Speaker 2: Bay and what I've what I've discovered, Like you know, [9:19] Speaker 2: there's there's been local sightings like Tapsco I'm sorry, Fort [9:24] Speaker 2: Smallwood State Park and that's on the Potapsco that's on [9:28] Speaker 2: the Potapsco River. And then also uh near like more [9:33] Speaker 2: near the Magothee River, which is like kind of more [9:37] Speaker 2: southernly Maryland, and you know there's there's been report like [9:41] Speaker 2: report sightings, not necessarily like on the eastern or I'm sorry, [9:44] Speaker 2: the western shore of Maryland, but like further south, like [9:48] Speaker 2: more towards like the Potomac and of like baby like [9:52] Speaker 2: kind of like estuary baby chessea sightings, which is really [9:56] Speaker 2: like really wild, just thinking that like, you know, these [9:59] Speaker 2: things are you developing like in you know, like a [10:04] Speaker 2: estuary somewhere of you know, of you know, the United States. [10:09] Speaker 2: So that's that's just basically my time in Maryland when [10:13] Speaker 2: I saw and there's also been report sightings like near Antietam, [10:17] Speaker 2: and I've been thinking about going out out there just [10:19] Speaker 2: to kind of explore, you know, what's what's kind of [10:23] Speaker 2: the situation out there. I guess moving moving on the [10:27] Speaker 2: like Pennsylvania, I mean I feel like p A. P [10:31] Speaker 2: A is just this large, you know, crazy tract of [10:35] Speaker 2: land with uh basically has like four four million acres [10:39] Speaker 2: of like public land that are really you know that [10:44] Speaker 2: gets really wild out there. And it's it's sometimes when [10:47] Speaker 2: you're in like you know, Sproul State Forests and Susquehanna [10:51] Speaker 2: State Forest, like you're it's not like you're standing on [10:54] Speaker 2: a mountain by yourself. You're standing basically like on a [10:57] Speaker 2: on like a mountain ridge by yourself. And so so basically, [11:04] Speaker 2: you know, having originally been from Pa growing up here, [11:08] Speaker 2: that area kind of like north of like State College, [11:12] Speaker 2: PA was always just kind of like a mystery to me. [11:15] Speaker 2: And in addition to you know, basically there's two point [11:18] Speaker 2: two million acres of state forests in PA. There's about [11:23] Speaker 2: one and a half million acres of game lands, and [11:27] Speaker 2: there's three hundred thousand acres of state parks, and then [11:32] Speaker 2: you know, half a million acres for the Allegay National Forest. [11:35] Speaker 2: So you're talking about almost like four million, four million [11:38] Speaker 2: acres that you know, people can really get lost in. [11:43] Speaker 2: And it's it's almost basically, you know, my research area [11:46] Speaker 2: is almost basically the size of Connecticut with the population [11:49] Speaker 2: of like you know, maybe fifth you know, fifty thousand [11:54] Speaker 2: people or something. I mean, really nobody lives like in [11:57] Speaker 2: these areas. It's probably even less than that. And so [12:01] Speaker 2: basically with the state game lands in Pennsylvania, i mean, [12:04] Speaker 2: the hunting seasons like so small that so for three [12:08] Speaker 2: cores three cours of the year, you know, basically these [12:12] Speaker 2: like state game lands are just completely like unoccupied. And [12:18] Speaker 2: I've learned that like a lot of I mean even [12:21] Speaker 2: more recently there's been sightings out of the area near [12:24] Speaker 2: near State College that believe it's the state game lands [12:28] Speaker 2: like three p thirty three and they you know, there's [12:32] Speaker 2: been reword settings of a big foot near a fish estuary. [12:39] Speaker 2: So basically, I guess the past maybe two years or so. [12:43] Speaker 2: Really since twenty twenty three, that's when you know, I [12:46] Speaker 2: really kind of got my got my channel together because [12:49] Speaker 2: I was kind of getting h I was getting headaches [12:51] Speaker 2: from watching people you know, on YouTube use their use [12:54] Speaker 2: their camera phone to uh to make you know, like [12:59] Speaker 2: crypto Crypto's woldy videos. And I thought I could kind [13:02] Speaker 2: of just give it a little bit more of a [13:04] Speaker 2: kind of finished product. So I guess really where I [13:08] Speaker 2: started was in this little town called cross Forks, PA. [13:13] Speaker 2: So cross Forks, PA, that's that's near the Hammersley Wild Area, [13:17] Speaker 2: which is like basically the largest area in PA that [13:21] Speaker 2: that has no roads. So it's about like fifty fifty [13:25] Speaker 2: square miles of no roads that you can you know, [13:28] Speaker 2: just really enjoy yourself and kind of you know, these [13:31] Speaker 2: real backcountry trails that you know, you're not really interrupted [13:37] Speaker 2: in and you know there's there's timber, rattlesnakes, and also [13:42] Speaker 2: in this area. Back in the I think it was [13:44] Speaker 2: the nineteen twenties, after the last Woodland elk was actually [13:50] Speaker 2: shot in PA. They were imported from Colorado. So there's [13:56] Speaker 2: actually a heard of like fourteen hundred elk in north [13:58] Speaker 2: central PA. And you know, so a lot of them [14:01] Speaker 2: go to like these different wild areas that you know, [14:04] Speaker 2: are not particularly populated or don't don't have many visitors too. [14:11] Speaker 2: And so because I went to the Hamardsley Wild Area, [14:15] Speaker 2: it was it was just a good experience and kind [14:17] Speaker 2: of like you know, learning how to make like a [14:19] Speaker 2: proper narrative, like you know, I mean the first couple [14:22] Speaker 2: of videos I made, I like I literally got like [14:24] Speaker 2: lost in the woods and like I was still trying [14:27] Speaker 2: to get my bearings. And I feel like now I [14:29] Speaker 2: have a little bit more of a better better understanding of, [14:33] Speaker 2: you know, how how to you know, kind of shoot [14:35] Speaker 2: a video but not not get lost. So so since [14:42] Speaker 2: so since I was in Sporal and State Farest there's [14:46] Speaker 2: you know, these areas they're like I said, they're really [14:50] Speaker 2: you know, super rural. You know, Pas the only state. [14:54] Speaker 2: You know, PA's number three in terms of public land size, [14:58] Speaker 2: so only behind like Alaska and California. So you know, [15:03] Speaker 2: really when you go out to these areas, it's not [15:05] Speaker 2: even necessarily that you're just kind of worrying about like [15:09] Speaker 2: being within you know, the public state game lands or [15:12] Speaker 2: things like that, because there's a lot of private clubs [15:15] Speaker 2: up there too, which account for like large large swaths [15:20] Speaker 2: of area. And really, I guess, you know, my my [15:25] Speaker 2: most it's called a Ricketts Glen. That's that's that's one [15:29] Speaker 2: of my most famous videos, and it's where I kind [15:31] Speaker 2: of started, uh you know, with my channel. And basically [15:36] Speaker 2: I went to the I went to like the visitor [15:38] Speaker 2: center because I was actually I was going to camp [15:39] Speaker 2: in the park that night. And you know, I see [15:42] Speaker 2: this like you know, magnet hanging up that says, you [15:45] Speaker 2: know that uh there's gonna there's you know, Bigfoot might [15:50] Speaker 2: actually find you or something at uh at Ricketts Glen [15:55] Speaker 2: State State Park. You know. So it's like there's like [15:57] Speaker 2: a PA state government, you know, just uh you know [16:02] Speaker 2: magnet that that that approves that, like, you know, Bigfoot exists, [16:06] Speaker 2: you know. So I asked, I asked the visitor center, [16:11] Speaker 2: you know, lady there, and she said that like, yeah, [16:14] Speaker 2: there had been a reported Sasquatch nest in Rickets Glen, [16:19] Speaker 2: and you know, I basically it was like almost like [16:21] Speaker 2: a four mile trek through there, and I mean I [16:24] Speaker 2: saw like kind of like a low, low lying like [16:28] Speaker 2: tree that had like kind of like a i don't know, [16:31] Speaker 2: like a reinforced like lower limb, but nothing I saw that, [16:36] Speaker 2: you know, kind of really said that there was like [16:39] Speaker 2: a nest in the area. But it just really I [16:42] Speaker 2: just found it really curious that like, yeah, there's like [16:44] Speaker 2: a state sponsored like a magnet that said, you know, [16:48] Speaker 2: you might you might view you know, looking for Bigfoot [16:52] Speaker 2: at rickets Gun State Park. And that just really blew [16:54] Speaker 2: my mind. And so I've also been to there's uh [17:00] Speaker 2: like World's World's End State Park, which is uh that's [17:05] Speaker 2: that's also a North Central PA and there were there [17:10] Speaker 2: there have been sightings in the area. But I think [17:13] Speaker 2: the crazy part about that area is that there's like [17:16] Speaker 2: a it's almost like a plateau to it. And unfortunately, [17:19] Speaker 2: like I haven't gotten a drone yet, which I which [17:21] Speaker 2: I need to do, and I wish, I wish at [17:24] Speaker 2: the time I had a drone because like this plateau [17:26] Speaker 2: that's like above you know, where you know, most most [17:29] Speaker 2: of the people are that really like anything could be [17:34] Speaker 2: hiding up there, and it kind of has almost like [17:36] Speaker 2: these like cliff edge edges to it. It's it's basically [17:40] Speaker 2: where like kind of the Susquehanna River you know, kind [17:42] Speaker 2: of bled in through the Allegheny Plateau and yes, which [17:48] Speaker 2: is yeah, so it's really difficult to climb up these cliffs. [17:52] Speaker 2: I'm definitely next time to go there, I'm gonna definitely [17:55] Speaker 2: have a drone to like try and get up into [17:57] Speaker 2: these areas. And I guess my other video that I [18:04] Speaker 2: thought kind of peaued you know, the public's interest was [18:07] Speaker 2: I came across these like ice footprints at the like [18:11] Speaker 2: the PA the Pa Grand area area, and it was [18:17] Speaker 2: it was just so so odd because it was like [18:19] Speaker 2: late it was like late December, and you know, I [18:21] Speaker 2: don't know if a bear would still be like, you know, [18:25] Speaker 2: even up because like these these prints just like you [18:29] Speaker 2: could see the toes and like it just even if [18:33] Speaker 2: it was like a black bear double step, like, I [18:36] Speaker 2: don't know if it if it could be possible for [18:39] Speaker 2: it to be like as big as it was. So [18:44] Speaker 2: it's you know, like I said, it's in my catalog. [18:46] Speaker 2: It's a catalog of video. If people want to check. [18:48] Speaker 1: It out, can I can I ask for clarification for [18:52] Speaker 1: something for a minute. [18:53] Speaker 2: That happened in right, yeah, exactly. It it's called the [18:58] Speaker 2: Barber Barber Rock Trail. So it's on the north like [19:02] Speaker 2: the north end of the park there, and so I [19:09] Speaker 2: I shot up the video there, but I also shot [19:11] Speaker 2: U there's there's another there's another park on the on [19:16] Speaker 2: the where of the south end, and that was I [19:20] Speaker 2: had a little bit of like a smell in that area. [19:23] Speaker 2: And this is like I said, this is this was [19:24] Speaker 2: like twenty twenty three, you know, around Christmas time. There's [19:28] Speaker 2: there's absolutely nobody like nobody in the park. There's called [19:32] Speaker 2: Colton Point State Park. That's the that's that's the more [19:35] Speaker 2: southerly state park in in in in the Pine Creek [19:40] Speaker 2: in the Pie Grand Canyon area. And but but the [19:44] Speaker 2: footprint was was really of course I had just gotten [19:47] Speaker 2: a new a new camera and it has like a [19:51] Speaker 2: building gimbal with it and to like kind of stabilize [19:55] Speaker 2: the image, and so I was still like learning how [19:57] Speaker 2: to like properly like you know, filmed downwards with it, [20:02] Speaker 2: because it tries to like stay to like the horizon [20:06] Speaker 2: with with with gimbals just to try and like level [20:08] Speaker 2: out the But I got most I got most of [20:11] Speaker 2: the you know, of the image of the footprint, and [20:16] Speaker 2: and there was about like a four it was almost [20:18] Speaker 2: like a four foot span between you know, the footprints, [20:23] Speaker 2: and they were sixteen inches long and then about like [20:27] Speaker 2: I think it was about like five or six inches wide. [20:32] Speaker 2: So and I know like black bears in North central [20:35] Speaker 2: PA have actually they've actually shot black bears that are [20:39] Speaker 2: eight hundred pounds, so like you have to which are [20:43] Speaker 2: basically the size of grizzly bears, right, So you have [20:45] Speaker 2: to be you have to be real careful with like understanding, [20:49] Speaker 2: you know, kind of what you're what you're seeing. And [20:53] Speaker 2: I was actually I was blessed enough to actually communicate [20:56] Speaker 2: with doctor Jeff Malderum before he passed about about the [21:01] Speaker 2: ice ice footprint, and you know, I send them the [21:05] Speaker 2: images and uh, you know, he always told me to cash, [21:09] Speaker 2: you know, err on the side of caution. And unfortunately, [21:13] Speaker 2: like I didn't really have a I didn't make a [21:15] Speaker 2: cast of it, Like I didn't have any like uh, [21:18] Speaker 2: I didn't have any you know, flaster of Paris or [21:21] Speaker 2: I was actually trying to get into like possibly having [21:23] Speaker 2: like like a three D like image scanner for things. [21:27] Speaker 2: But I'm still I'm still working on that right now, [21:30] Speaker 2: but at least at least I had my my tape [21:32] Speaker 2: measure with me to like kind of properly, like you know, [21:36] Speaker 2: properly you measure things out just because you know, like [21:40] Speaker 2: on camera, like you have to, like you have to [21:43] Speaker 2: present some type of like standard, you know, with like [21:46] Speaker 2: a tape measure too, you know, to really like you know, [21:50] Speaker 2: kind of be like a litmus test for like what [21:52] Speaker 2: what the size of something is? You know, you can't [21:55] Speaker 2: because the human eye is like so so good at [21:57] Speaker 2: like you know, auto auto apturing things that like, you know, [22:01] Speaker 2: people one thing people don't realize with film is that [22:04] Speaker 2: you know, and that's why I shoot most of my [22:07] Speaker 2: stuff during the daytime, just because I mean if you [22:11] Speaker 2: look at like the Paul Freeman you'll get the Pat [22:13] Speaker 2: Patterson Gimlin films, Like they were all both during the daytime. [22:17] Speaker 2: So it's like I feel like, if there's ever going [22:19] Speaker 2: to be like another like any footage of this thing, [22:23] Speaker 2: it's going to be during the daytime because like I know, [22:26] Speaker 2: there's thermals out there, but like I feel like having [22:29] Speaker 2: a daytime slighting with with that you know, proper resolution [22:33] Speaker 2: to actually like see the creature. I think that'll hopefully [22:37] Speaker 2: lend more credence to like, you know, to it being [22:40] Speaker 2: like a like a real, real you know animal that [22:45] Speaker 2: that hopefully gets recognized. So I think having gone from [22:51] Speaker 2: like Ricketts Glenn Uh, I'm sorry, the pi a Grand Canyon, [22:57] Speaker 2: I you know, I've also been to, like I said, [23:00] Speaker 2: north Central PA, which has the Susquehannack Uh State Forests [23:05] Speaker 2: and the Sprawl State Forest, which kind of like merge [23:07] Speaker 2: into like their own like national for stuff there. And [23:13] Speaker 2: so basically I would I would go to like old [23:15] Speaker 2: like hunting lodges just to like speak to, you know, [23:19] Speaker 2: like the locals, just see if like if there's any [23:22] Speaker 2: like just just anything, you know, and just be like, oh, [23:25] Speaker 2: you know, like because you know I was, I would [23:27] Speaker 2: kind of stick out like a sore thumb, you know, [23:29] Speaker 2: not really like a like a big kind of hunting guy, [23:32] Speaker 2: you know, and like you know, I'm not really wearing [23:35] Speaker 2: camo or anything. And you know, and I respect hunters. [23:39] Speaker 2: I love hunters. They're they're wonderful. They're the only people [23:41] Speaker 2: I see when I'm when I'm looking for bigfoot, and uh, [23:45] Speaker 2: and so you know, I just kind of like, you know, shoot, [23:47] Speaker 2: to shoot with them, and they would always tell me, [23:51] Speaker 2: you know, I had a I had a bartender who [23:53] Speaker 2: was telling me this these experiences her husband was having. [23:58] Speaker 2: And it's down near like snow. So we're approaching like [24:01] Speaker 2: these areas that you know, the BFR has been listing. [24:06] Speaker 2: There was the uh you know recently there's the uh [24:11] Speaker 2: you know Sasquatch that crossed Route eighty there, I think [24:14] Speaker 2: it was mark mile mark around like once and I [24:18] Speaker 2: actually I shot a video there at it's called the [24:23] Speaker 2: Baldi Baldeagle State Park. And that area, like it is [24:27] Speaker 2: like super rural, like there's there's actually in town near there. [24:32] Speaker 2: There's there's a local barbecue place that's called like a [24:37] Speaker 2: big Foot Blazing Barbecue. So like the whole like the [24:40] Speaker 2: whole area has like this like local local culture of [24:44] Speaker 2: like something kind of being in the area. And you know, [24:47] Speaker 2: so her husband was just telling you about how, you know, [24:49] Speaker 2: he had seen something while he was hunting, got freaked [24:54] Speaker 2: out and left and this, and then another time like [24:58] Speaker 2: it was it was like later at night, and because [25:00] Speaker 2: there's there's so many like thunderbird sightings like in this [25:04] Speaker 2: north central part of PA that they had also come [25:09] Speaker 2: across you know, like a large it was a large [25:13] Speaker 2: bird and it was at dusk and like it completely [25:18] Speaker 2: freaked this hunter out. So I really I've also I've [25:21] Speaker 2: also read like plenty of books there's it's called like [25:24] Speaker 2: the Pennsylvania Stories and more Pennsylvania Stories. But I believe [25:27] Speaker 2: his name is Henry Shoemaker. I mean this was written [25:29] Speaker 2: in like the nineteen twenties or so, but it has [25:33] Speaker 2: a lot of like listed events with you know, different [25:37] Speaker 2: events happening you know in in like the Sprowl State [25:40] Speaker 2: Forest and this and the Susquehanna State Forest in terms [25:44] Speaker 2: of thunderbirds. So I mean there's just like I said, [25:46] Speaker 2: it's it's such like a like a wild and untamed [25:50] Speaker 2: area that like, uh yeah, you could you could hide [25:53] Speaker 2: a dinosaur up there and nobody would know. And so [25:57] Speaker 2: basically when I was shooting my video for for Bigfoot [26:00] Speaker 2: near near Snowshoe, I came across like a there was [26:04] Speaker 2: like a this old like abandoned like it was like [26:08] Speaker 2: a railway trail and like this like are like four [26:13] Speaker 2: x four quad club had like kind of commandeered it [26:16] Speaker 2: but not fully, and like the bridge was out like [26:19] Speaker 2: the bridge like you know, if you go to Google Maps, [26:21] Speaker 2: like Google Maps that says like like it's okay, and [26:24] Speaker 2: it's it's not okay. Like the bridge is completely like [26:27] Speaker 2: like half demolished. And so I'm I'm traveling down you know, [26:32] Speaker 2: the path on this old abandoned like quad club trail, [26:37] Speaker 2: and you know, I see these like large like footprints. [26:41] Speaker 2: It's under my video called Sasquatch Colt, and I basically [26:45] Speaker 2: I came across these like weird like runic like somebody [26:49] Speaker 2: create these like weird runic tablet things on the side [26:52] Speaker 2: of the road. I was really like, I thank god [26:55] Speaker 2: I had like bear sprang when I grew out, because [26:57] Speaker 2: like it's you know, I was in this like it [26:59] Speaker 2: was almost like a like a valley, like a little [27:02] Speaker 2: like valley. So if like anybody was going to like [27:03] Speaker 2: ambush me, like this was like the place to do it. [27:06] Speaker 2: And so I'm like, you know, kind of like walking [27:08] Speaker 2: down this like trail like all by myself, and I [27:11] Speaker 2: come across these like weird you know, like runic symbol [27:14] Speaker 2: things I saw that just kept on going, but like [27:18] Speaker 2: like across the trail, you know, because it had like [27:21] Speaker 2: lightly snowed where these like you know like six like [27:25] Speaker 2: sixteen inch like footprints dashing across the trail so like [27:31] Speaker 2: and and like I said, it was like I think [27:32] Speaker 2: it was early January. So with it with it being [27:35] Speaker 2: like a bear, I don't know, like I don't know [27:40] Speaker 2: if a bear is going to be out in early January. [27:43] Speaker 2: And and there were deer. There were deer in the area, [27:47] Speaker 2: so it was, uh, you know, it was very like [27:51] Speaker 2: you know, humbling experience, just because I guess I was [27:54] Speaker 2: in an area that I was actually using snow shoes [27:57] Speaker 2: because like the area like had gotten so kind of rough, [28:01] Speaker 2: and it was like the only way that I could [28:02] Speaker 2: really hopefully get back to uh like you get back [28:07] Speaker 2: back to my car, you know, from from where this [28:09] Speaker 2: area was. Yeah, And like I said, the area is [28:13] Speaker 2: called like Renault Renovo, Pa, which is it's it's in [28:17] Speaker 2: the dead middle of like nowhere. And if you go [28:19] Speaker 2: to like it's called like lock if you go from [28:21] Speaker 2: like lock Haven to like Emporium off like I believe [28:25] Speaker 2: it's one twenty there, like Renovo's like in the center [28:28] Speaker 2: of it, and it you know, like like when you [28:32] Speaker 2: go this town, it's it's just like it's it's like [28:34] Speaker 2: a it's almost like a like a ghost town. It's [28:36] Speaker 2: it's like really abandoned over the years. And so in [28:41] Speaker 2: addition to like you know the big foot sightings and [28:44] Speaker 2: like thumbered thunderbird sightings, I also wanted to like I [28:48] Speaker 2: also trying to do like classical like extinct species and [28:54] Speaker 2: so there I'm not sure if you're familiar with like [28:56] Speaker 2: you know the Kinna State like football team, the Knittney [28:59] Speaker 2: Lyon Absolutely well they yeah, they So they actually get [29:03] Speaker 2: their name from you know these like you know theoretical [29:07] Speaker 2: like mountain lions that existed in that area of PA. [29:13] Speaker 2: That potentially because all these species were all like extirpated, [29:19] Speaker 2: you know, the like I said, the woodland elk, the [29:23] Speaker 2: the bison. There was woodland bison. There were past there [29:26] Speaker 2: passenger pigeon flocks of like three billion, three or four [29:32] Speaker 2: billion that used to blot out the sun like during [29:36] Speaker 2: the daytime, and we actually we hunted them all to extinction. [29:41] Speaker 2: And because you know, people found the meat, like the [29:45] Speaker 2: of the passenger pigeon there to be you know, tasty. [29:48] Speaker 2: So that's that's one of the reasons that that was [29:51] Speaker 2: basically killed to extinction. And so because you know, the [29:57] Speaker 2: nitty lions kind of are in that area in like [30:00] Speaker 2: Sprouse State Forest. I followed this like old it was [30:05] Speaker 2: called like the Panther Tower, the Panther Trail through there, [30:08] Speaker 2: and basically there used to there used to be like [30:10] Speaker 2: a lot of fire towers and PA and a lot [30:13] Speaker 2: of them have been actually just like taken down. And [30:16] Speaker 2: you know, they had these names from like you know, [30:20] Speaker 2: maybe you know fifty sixty, seventy years ago, because potentially, [30:25] Speaker 2: like you know, even a hundred years ago, there was [30:28] Speaker 2: still mountain lions in PA. And I mean even up [30:33] Speaker 2: until recently, there was the mountain lion that move went [30:37] Speaker 2: from like I think it was like North Dakota to Connecticut. [30:42] Speaker 2: So my theory was, like, you know, did this did [30:45] Speaker 2: this mountain lion even did it kind of come through [30:48] Speaker 2: north central PA to get to Connecticut? And I didn't. [30:53] Speaker 2: I didn't see any signs of mountain lions. But I [30:56] Speaker 2: swear whenever I'm looking for like thunderbirds or mount lines, like, [31:02] Speaker 2: I always come across like weird, weird like big foot stuff. [31:06] Speaker 2: Like the trail that I had to kind of go through, [31:10] Speaker 2: it was it was like all like all crashed in [31:14] Speaker 2: like there looked like something had you know, thrown down [31:17] Speaker 2: like and put x's on the trail, so I didn't [31:20] Speaker 2: like that was more like kind of the western part [31:23] Speaker 2: of this this trail, and I just headed east because [31:26] Speaker 2: that's kind of I was. I was looking for the [31:28] Speaker 2: panther tower in this and so you know, continually, even [31:33] Speaker 2: even while I'm like still looking for you know, other species, [31:38] Speaker 2: like like Bigfoot still kind of like kind of sticks [31:41] Speaker 2: his foot in there, and like, you know, still there's [31:44] Speaker 2: still weird signs that kind of you can kind of [31:47] Speaker 2: exist here and there I've also been to so there [31:52] Speaker 2: used to be like it I believe it was like [31:53] Speaker 2: an old like nuclear or missile testing range in north [31:57] Speaker 2: central PA. And it was called it's called the Khana [31:59] Speaker 2: Wild Area. And so if if you look at a [32:01] Speaker 2: map of Pa, you can even see it on Google Maps. [32:05] Speaker 2: It's it's a there's a perfect circle like in in [32:08] Speaker 2: central Pa of like I guess the state brought back [32:12] Speaker 2: the land like from this like nuclear facility. And it's [32:17] Speaker 2: just so bizarre. And so so there was like in [32:19] Speaker 2: nineteen eighty five there was like a terrible tornado that [32:22] Speaker 2: actually like blew through this area, and it's just it's [32:26] Speaker 2: just so bizarre, Like just looking on a map and [32:28] Speaker 2: just seeing like a like you know, maps are usually [32:31] Speaker 2: just more natural, but but seeing like an actual like [32:34] Speaker 2: circle like on you know, in the in the PA [32:38] Speaker 2: like you know, fares system, You're like, you're just like, [32:40] Speaker 2: what what is going on? And so so that that [32:45] Speaker 2: area that can can have a lot area. I've been [32:48] Speaker 2: through there and you know, there's there's some some trails [32:50] Speaker 2: that are pretty pretty cool in terms of you know, [32:53] Speaker 2: being wild, and a lot a lot in that area. [32:57] Speaker 2: That's where there's a lot like elk like elk viewing area. [33:00] Speaker 2: And so while I was shooting one of my videos, [33:05] Speaker 2: you know, I it was like a terrible windy day, [33:08] Speaker 2: it was snowy out, Like I was the only person [33:10] Speaker 2: like at at these like elk viewing areas. And they're [33:15] Speaker 2: basically like reclaim reclaim land the state bought just because [33:18] Speaker 2: they were like they were strip mined, and so they [33:21] Speaker 2: reclaimed the land and now elk are able to like [33:26] Speaker 2: actually like live, you know, and kind of thrive on this. [33:28] Speaker 2: But during the wintertime, of course, you know, most animals [33:31] Speaker 2: kind of go into the trees and start to start [33:34] Speaker 2: even eating like you know, some type of sticks and [33:37] Speaker 2: brushes and that type of thing. But when I was there. [33:41] Speaker 2: There was like like so I shut my door, and [33:44] Speaker 2: then like a couple of seconds later, I heard like [33:48] Speaker 2: a wood knock in the valley in the distance. It [33:50] Speaker 2: was just like it just blew my mind like that, [33:53] Speaker 2: like you know, like I don't even think. I don't [33:56] Speaker 2: think I had the camera running at that time, and [33:58] Speaker 2: I think I feel like I've had other experiences like [34:00] Speaker 2: that where like like and I'm conscious of it now, [34:03] Speaker 2: but like when I first go to the area, like [34:06] Speaker 2: I'm always like I always turned my camera on before, [34:09] Speaker 2: like I shut my door, because I've I've definitely had [34:14] Speaker 2: like some some responses like when whenever I close my door, [34:18] Speaker 2: I guess I slammed my door kind of hard, and [34:21] Speaker 2: they I've heard woodknocks definitely in the distance, I guess. [34:26] Speaker 2: Another another example is that it was so also in [34:30] Speaker 2: north central PA. It's called the Kettle Creek State Park, [34:33] Speaker 2: and that is like, you know, it's it's a phenomenal. [34:36] Speaker 2: It's it's one of the tributaries to the Susquehanna River. [34:39] Speaker 2: And you know, in addition to like the the elk, [34:44] Speaker 2: the buffalo, and the passenger pigeons before the dams were [34:49] Speaker 2: erected throughout you know throughout the state, harbor seals actually [34:54] Speaker 2: used to like to swim like all the way really [34:57] Speaker 2: into like deep north central PA. And so they were [35:01] Speaker 2: they were given the nickname the Kettle Creek Monster. So [35:05] Speaker 2: I was just I was just kind of filming that video, [35:07] Speaker 2: and I just I was going to get some b [35:08] Speaker 2: roll because I had, like a I have like another [35:11] Speaker 2: camera too, it's more of like a long distance camera, [35:14] Speaker 2: and like you know, once again, I just like I [35:17] Speaker 2: shut my door. I think I was like filming. I [35:19] Speaker 2: was just filming birds. There are some you know, really [35:22] Speaker 2: beautiful ducks that were on the creek there, and like [35:24] Speaker 2: I shut my door, and then off in the distance, [35:26] Speaker 2: I heard like a I heard like a wood knock, [35:29] Speaker 2: and like for me, the question is like if it's [35:31] Speaker 2: a hunter, Like it's not an echo because it's just [35:35] Speaker 2: it's it happens usually too too long afterwards, and like, [35:39] Speaker 2: you know, why would like a why would a hunter [35:41] Speaker 2: be like firing off a gun like in response to [35:44] Speaker 2: my like door, you know, slamming. So like that's that's [35:49] Speaker 2: kind of my my only explanation for in that area. [35:54] Speaker 2: So I guess moving on to even more places, there's [35:58] Speaker 2: also the like Cinema Honing like State Park. I know, [36:03] Speaker 2: like you know a lot of like those the Bigfoot [36:06] Speaker 2: Society guys, like they kind of go up into that area. [36:08] Speaker 2: And I've been in that area too, like actually actually [36:11] Speaker 2: shot a video that was actually on top of the dam, [36:14] Speaker 2: you know, and and a lot of these like parks, [36:16] Speaker 2: it's like they're really like you know, like they're really forgotten. [36:19] Speaker 2: Near like Boston, PA. There's like an old dam that [36:24] Speaker 2: like blew out, so it looks like, you know, you [36:26] Speaker 2: go there, it's almost looks like it's like Lord of [36:28] Speaker 2: the Rings and you're like, you know, like there's nobody [36:31] Speaker 2: else around. You're you have these like giant like earthworks projects, [36:35] Speaker 2: and you're just kind of like, you know, you can [36:37] Speaker 2: literally walk on this dam and just you know, just [36:41] Speaker 2: really beautiful you know, clear water and you know, no [36:46] Speaker 2: pollution in this area. But I guess also so I [36:53] Speaker 2: guess going back to like the State Game Lands, like [36:56] Speaker 2: so State there's that sighting at that fish Estuary, which [36:59] Speaker 2: I believe it was like State Inlands like three thirty three, [37:02] Speaker 2: and that that was like in March of like this [37:04] Speaker 2: past year. And you know, I had actually shot like [37:09] Speaker 2: a like a video like earlier. You know, THEO was [37:12] Speaker 2: two years ago where there had been you know, like [37:16] Speaker 2: previous also other bigfoot crossings off the I eighty cardor so. [37:21] Speaker 2: So basically I feel like like north of like in PA, [37:25] Speaker 2: like north of like the I eighty corridor, like it's [37:27] Speaker 2: it can really get like like it's really wild right [37:31] Speaker 2: and like and super like super unpopulated. And and for me, [37:37] Speaker 2: it's like my question is are these creatures are they [37:40] Speaker 2: do they want like do they want the attention? Do [37:43] Speaker 2: they want you know, do they want like do they [37:46] Speaker 2: want to be near us? So I still haven't really [37:49] Speaker 2: figured that out. And you know in this area, like [37:53] Speaker 2: if you you know, near the Bald Eagle like State [37:55] Speaker 2: Park and State Game Lands three thirty three, you know, [37:58] Speaker 2: you kind of go between like you know, like mountains [38:02] Speaker 2: that are that are forested and then and then like [38:05] Speaker 2: farms in the valleys and then mountains in the forest [38:08] Speaker 2: and then you know, like farms in the valleys. And [38:11] Speaker 2: so it's like it would be like perfect terrain for [38:13] Speaker 2: an animal to like you know, kind of hide at [38:16] Speaker 2: night in the woods or hide during the day during [38:18] Speaker 2: the woods and then come down at night to like [38:20] Speaker 2: to steal food, you know, from like a local you know, farmer, [38:24] Speaker 2: and so there's there's definitely like this like it's definitely [38:28] Speaker 2: this like Goldilock Zone of like hey, there's like potentially [38:31] Speaker 2: like a food source for these creatures and you know [38:34] Speaker 2: they have like a they have like a place to hide. [38:39] Speaker 2: I guess. Going further south, like I've also been to [38:41] Speaker 2: like it's called Mecho State Park and like that's that's [38:45] Speaker 2: weird because I think it's actually like the northern Termus [38:48] Speaker 2: of like almost the Blue Ridge Mountains. So and like [38:52] Speaker 2: it's weird because like outside of it, like it's not [38:55] Speaker 2: there's really no like there's no mountains, so it's it's [39:00] Speaker 2: this little island in the sky and there's been like [39:03] Speaker 2: lots of uh more. I shot one of my first [39:05] Speaker 2: videos there and that was like one of you know, [39:09] Speaker 2: uh you know like a really really special special spot. [39:13] Speaker 2: You know. I guess in terms of like you know, [39:16] Speaker 2: more more areas and pa I've also been into like [39:19] Speaker 2: the Delaware Delaware State Forest and uh that's kind of [39:23] Speaker 2: where like there's Promised Land State Park out there. There's [39:26] Speaker 2: also it's called like Egypt Meadows, and like Egypt Meadows [39:30] Speaker 2: is like kind of crazy because it's like you really [39:34] Speaker 2: like I have a garment. I have like like GPS [39:38] Speaker 2: like search and Rescue insurance just because like when you [39:41] Speaker 2: when you go down on these trails like by yourself, [39:44] Speaker 2: like you have to just kind of be prepared for [39:46] Speaker 2: the worst. And it's not like a like a more [39:51] Speaker 2: like you know, kind of urban park where there's there's [39:53] Speaker 2: gonna be more people, you know, some of these some [39:56] Speaker 2: of these like you know, really kind of out there, [39:59] Speaker 2: like uh, you know, state parks like they yeah, they [40:03] Speaker 2: they're they're really like in the middle of like almost nowhere, right, [40:07] Speaker 2: and like they like they're they're very scarcely populated with [40:11] Speaker 2: other hikers and actually, like I actually like it's one [40:16] Speaker 2: of the few times I've I've gotten lost on a [40:17] Speaker 2: trail and actually turned back because it was like it [40:20] Speaker 2: was getting your dusk and like I was just like [40:23] Speaker 2: like there's there's no point in like like getting lost [40:26] Speaker 2: in the woods at nighttime and you know, something like [40:28] Speaker 2: something happening to you. So I think that's that's like [40:33] Speaker 2: a pretty good you know kind of examination of like [40:36] Speaker 2: you know, where where I've been in PA and I [40:41] Speaker 2: guess moving on to uh like so I've been to [40:45] Speaker 2: a lot of spots in New Jersey as well. Uh [40:49] Speaker 2: So basically, you know, one of the first videos I [40:51] Speaker 2: ever shot was the it's like the the the Jersey [40:55] Speaker 2: Devil of course, right, and so like Ocean Spray, that's [40:59] Speaker 2: like the Cranberry Company, they have like a lot of [41:02] Speaker 2: abandoned like cranberry bogs that are that are in in [41:07] Speaker 2: these areas. And so I was, you know, shooting my [41:12] Speaker 2: video and and I saw this like, you know, large [41:15] Speaker 2: extremely large bird like kind of fleeing in the distance. [41:18] Speaker 2: It was like a it's definitely like a crane. It [41:20] Speaker 2: wasn't it was even it was even like bigger than [41:22] Speaker 2: like a heron. And so I did it like a [41:25] Speaker 2: little bit of research deep dive into the area. And [41:29] Speaker 2: so like South Jersey, like the pine bearns they have, [41:34] Speaker 2: uh they have the sand hill crane, which actually migrates [41:37] Speaker 2: through there. But even like weirder and like like more [41:41] Speaker 2: more recent times, like in the nineties, there was a [41:44] Speaker 2: farmer like in upstate New York who actually imported these [41:47] Speaker 2: they're called Eurasian gray cranes, and they actually they got [41:51] Speaker 2: loose and they somehow, like I guess, found the sandhill [41:54] Speaker 2: crane population and started like in intermingling with them. So [41:59] Speaker 2: I actually like it's extremely I mean with my mind's eye, [42:03] Speaker 2: like I saw quite well, but you know with the [42:05] Speaker 2: camera I was using it at the time, it didn't [42:08] Speaker 2: like you can kind of see it, but it's like extremely, [42:11] Speaker 2: extremely in the distance. So you know, my my theory [42:14] Speaker 2: on the Jersey Devil is that you know, basically back [42:18] Speaker 2: in colonial times when you know, people were first coming [42:21] Speaker 2: to this country, you know, they were coming across like [42:24] Speaker 2: sand hill cranes, and they mistook it for the Jersey Devil. [42:28] Speaker 2: And it's kind of controversial and people will like you [42:32] Speaker 2: know kind of you know, really really put the paranormal [42:35] Speaker 2: side to things. But like I mean, the sandal cranes [42:39] Speaker 2: like they they avoid like they avoid humanity, like the plague. [42:44] Speaker 2: And like I was like, I mean I was maybe [42:47] Speaker 2: a quarter mile away from this thing and it took [42:49] Speaker 2: off and with these drained bogs, it's like you go [42:53] Speaker 2: in there. And I also shot another so I shot [42:57] Speaker 2: there was in the same kind of areas, Like there's [43:01] Speaker 2: like Brendan t Burn State Farce, which is part of [43:03] Speaker 2: the Pine Barrens. There was a report setting of you [43:09] Speaker 2: know Bigfoot, you know, by the side of the road. [43:12] Speaker 2: You know, there's some just like some person saw like [43:14] Speaker 2: like a juvenile bigfoot, and so I it was, you know, [43:19] Speaker 2: one of my early videos, and you know, I definitely [43:22] Speaker 2: like I captured some type of footprint and it looked [43:26] Speaker 2: like it treaded into the the like the bogs like [43:31] Speaker 2: in the swamps there. So like you know, because I [43:35] Speaker 2: really I feel like if these things are just you know, [43:39] Speaker 2: Bigfoot's like avoiding us, They're they're going to go to [43:41] Speaker 2: like you know, the most nasty places they can to [43:45] Speaker 2: avoid us. And and funny enough, like I was looking [43:48] Speaker 2: at the Google comments for like this this area where [43:51] Speaker 2: where I saw these like footprints and like just some [43:54] Speaker 2: like local Yokul was like he was like, oh this [43:57] Speaker 2: is oh, this is where you know, this is where [43:58] Speaker 2: Bigfoot hangs out. So my mom was like completely blown [44:02] Speaker 2: and and that's not my so basically moving more like [44:06] Speaker 2: towards the coast, you know there there have actually been [44:09] Speaker 2: like big foot settings like at the Jersey Shore, and [44:13] Speaker 2: I really I feel like this potentially maybe could be [44:16] Speaker 2: real because during like the wintertime, like there's nobody in [44:20] Speaker 2: some of these towns, like everybody kind of moves back [44:23] Speaker 2: to like you know, Philly or New York for the [44:26] Speaker 2: for the for the winter, and so like you know, [44:29] Speaker 2: I just had this like funny thought of like a [44:31] Speaker 2: of a big foot like treading through some like Jersey [44:33] Speaker 2: Beach town, you know, like with like nobody around. And [44:38] Speaker 2: so I went to it's called Double Trouble State Park. [44:42] Speaker 2: And so this basically like underneath the underneath the New [44:48] Speaker 2: Jersey Pine Barrens is like one of the largest like [44:51] Speaker 2: reservoirs in the world for like water. So it's even [44:55] Speaker 2: like so it's basically like these aquifers that are underground [44:59] Speaker 2: that are beating these like you know rivers through these [45:02] Speaker 2: like state parks like in in in the Pine Burns, [45:06] Speaker 2: and you know, it's like this really weird looking like [45:09] Speaker 2: tea colored uh tea colored like you know, kind of [45:13] Speaker 2: water to it. And I think that's actually like where [45:16] Speaker 2: I I think years prior, like I I think I [45:19] Speaker 2: wrote into you about a swamp dog in South Jersey [45:24] Speaker 2: and like the here, yeah, in the area that he [45:26] Speaker 2: was at, and so I kind of like I invested this, [45:29] Speaker 2: you know, this area just to kind of you know, [45:33] Speaker 2: see if there's any like you know, validity to it. [45:35] Speaker 2: And like you go back like in some of these [45:38] Speaker 2: like you know, like river areas, and it's it's really [45:41] Speaker 2: really like really Jurassic back there. You know, there's like [45:45] Speaker 2: sometimes there's like Spanish moss like hanging on the trees [45:47] Speaker 2: and things like that. Like it's real, like like real [45:51] Speaker 2: like real, real super wild area. And so I definitely, [45:56] Speaker 2: I definitely you could see how like they're in, especially [46:00] Speaker 2: in Sauce, Jersey, there could be you know, some type [46:02] Speaker 2: of like anything. But I guess starting to go a [46:06] Speaker 2: little bit further north, like through that it's called the [46:10] Speaker 2: Gateway National Recreation Area at Sandy Hook, and like what [46:15] Speaker 2: people just don't realize like even you know, like harbor [46:18] Speaker 2: seals like really they they winter like in like at [46:23] Speaker 2: the Jersey Shore. And I just thought it was like [46:24] Speaker 2: a funny idea of like you know, I know, it's [46:26] Speaker 2: not like it's not particularly encrypted, but like you know, [46:29] Speaker 2: just I feel like it kind of it could kind [46:31] Speaker 2: of blow people's minds just to like, you know, because [46:34] Speaker 2: I guess we have this like idea of like seals [46:36] Speaker 2: at least on the East coast being like you know, [46:38] Speaker 2: and you're like you know Nova Scotia or or you [46:43] Speaker 2: know Greenland or something. You know, so It's just like [46:45] Speaker 2: fun knowing that like, you know, these these kind of [46:48] Speaker 2: hit down here in the mid Atlantic, we can like [46:50] Speaker 2: we can go see seals. It's like the dead of [46:52] Speaker 2: winner too. It's usually like January or February. And but [46:57] Speaker 2: so I was going to like you know, kind of [47:00] Speaker 2: best seeing the area a little bit more. And there's [47:01] Speaker 2: definitely been a lot of like you know, sea creatures [47:05] Speaker 2: explained sea creatures in that Sandy Hook Bay area. And [47:09] Speaker 2: so there's a situation where there was these fishers, not [47:14] Speaker 2: a fishermen, but even just locals who they keep on [47:18] Speaker 2: reporting seeing a like a sea monster with it has [47:22] Speaker 2: like a bulldog face to it. And so it's like [47:25] Speaker 2: really weird that like specifically you people just keep on [47:28] Speaker 2: bringing up this like you know, kind of the sea [47:30] Speaker 2: sea creature that has this like same face every single time. [47:35] Speaker 2: I just I just found that interesting, you know, just [47:37] Speaker 2: with with having like the harbor seals in that area. [47:40] Speaker 2: But if you're further north, like in New Jersey, like [47:44] Speaker 2: you know, and getting towards almost the New York line. [47:47] Speaker 2: Basically the during the ice ages, the ice sheets, basically [47:52] Speaker 2: the southern terminus was like near like you know, North [47:55] Speaker 2: Jersey and southern southern New York. So what happened was [47:59] Speaker 2: like all that like earth and rocks and soils that [48:04] Speaker 2: were you know, when they were ground and push they [48:07] Speaker 2: most of them are actually pushed to like this area. [48:10] Speaker 2: So you have like a lot of areas with all [48:12] Speaker 2: these like I think they're called like radical boulders. Yeah, [48:15] Speaker 2: that are just kind of deposited because it was where [48:18] Speaker 2: like you know, like I said, the ice sheets had stopped. [48:20] Speaker 2: So yeah, I know David Plaiti's as the you know [48:24] Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of times when he has [48:26] Speaker 2: occurrences of people like missing, it's around like boulders, like [48:29] Speaker 2: like granite boulders and things like that. And it's just [48:33] Speaker 2: just funny that this, you know that these areas and [48:35] Speaker 2: like north North Jersey and like you know, southern New [48:38] Speaker 2: York have all these like you know, free radical boulders [48:42] Speaker 2: that you know, people potentially you know, or boulder fields [48:45] Speaker 2: that people potentially like have bigfoot bigfoot sightings. And yeah, [48:52] Speaker 2: I mean if you go to North Jersey, like you [48:54] Speaker 2: can actually just look it up on Google. It's called [48:57] Speaker 2: just taking a big Foot sculpture. And so I I [49:02] Speaker 2: don't even I think I just came across it randomly. [49:04] Speaker 2: So there's in near like I think it's called the [49:07] Speaker 2: wanna Que Reservoir. There's a trail out there, it's called [49:11] Speaker 2: the Sculpture Trail. And so you know, I'm walking around [49:15] Speaker 2: and you know this it's where I shot one of [49:16] Speaker 2: my videos and basically like this big Foot sculpture is [49:20] Speaker 2: atop this cave. And so there was another situation where [49:23] Speaker 2: like I definitely have to get a jerome because you know, [49:26] Speaker 2: when I was walking like near this cave, like I [49:28] Speaker 2: definitely like I was like above the cave like where [49:32] Speaker 2: the Bigfoot sculpture was, and this terrible smell was like [49:37] Speaker 2: emanating from it and like something was in there, and [49:40] Speaker 2: like I just did not want to like you know, [49:42] Speaker 2: just check it out and like see see what was [49:45] Speaker 2: going on. I guess with you know, with North Jersey, [49:49] Speaker 2: like the if you're I feel like if you're really [49:54] Speaker 2: if you're really serious about like trying to find like [49:56] Speaker 2: big Foot in the area, you know, the basically from [49:59] Speaker 2: like like the delwork App National Recreation as far as [50:04] Speaker 2: to like high Point State Park that's it's all part [50:07] Speaker 2: of like that it's called the kidd Tinny like mountain [50:09] Speaker 2: Range and like I feel like in terms of like [50:13] Speaker 2: you know, potentially where these creatures have been pushed to [50:16] Speaker 2: in New Jersey because there I shot a video. It [50:20] Speaker 2: was like where these diners were at this like restaurant [50:25] Speaker 2: that was like really like rural kind of like mountain [50:28] Speaker 2: kind of restaurant thing, and they're sitting there and they [50:31] Speaker 2: see these like too bigfoot like you know, kind of [50:34] Speaker 2: like a cross the field and like and and these [50:37] Speaker 2: couples are just sitting there and they're like looking at [50:39] Speaker 2: each other like are you seeing that? Like these you know, [50:42] Speaker 2: they're strangers, They're like are are you seeing that? And [50:44] Speaker 2: then like they're both looking at each other like oh [50:47] Speaker 2: my god, like what is this? Right? So I actually [50:49] Speaker 2: I shot a video at that way, and it's time [50:52] Speaker 2: I ever filled. I feel the film the like Little [50:56] Speaker 2: Baby Bear Cubs, which was like you know, you know, [50:59] Speaker 2: just fund finally finally see finally see a bear in [51:02] Speaker 2: the wild. And yeah, So that that area through uh [51:08] Speaker 2: you know, the bell Or Gap National Recreation Area to [51:11] Speaker 2: to high Point State Park. That's kind of like where [51:14] Speaker 2: like the Big Red Eyes known and that's that's like [51:17] Speaker 2: really famous for sightings. Uh. I tried to like mimic [51:22] Speaker 2: there was a sighting there where I believe it is [51:24] Speaker 2: it so so I guess like in PA and New Jersey, [51:26] Speaker 2: there's there's natural gas lines that run like from fracking [51:30] Speaker 2: and like so they almost they almost serve as like [51:33] Speaker 2: power lines. And there's been like a lot of like [51:37] Speaker 2: the poored sightings you know, near near gas lines, gas [51:42] Speaker 2: line clearings, and so there was a gentleman who was [51:45] Speaker 2: like riding a bicycle and I just wanted to mimic that, [51:49] Speaker 2: so I I just like strapped a camera like onto [51:52] Speaker 2: my bike, and you know, I was riding along and [51:55] Speaker 2: I didn't have I didn't I didn't have any experiences there, [51:58] Speaker 2: but I did have. So I was in it's called [52:01] Speaker 2: Stokes State Forest, which is just south of high Point [52:04] Speaker 2: State Park. And you know, more recently, I find I [52:07] Speaker 2: finally I finally started wood doing wood knocks, but because [52:11] Speaker 2: it like saves me a lot of walking, saves me [52:13] Speaker 2: a lot of like I feel like if there's any [52:16] Speaker 2: way of like maybe tricking the species into responding, Like [52:19] Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, like a wood knock is [52:22] Speaker 2: kind of anomenous, anonymous, whereas like if you're doing like [52:25] Speaker 2: a big foot, how it like, yeah, they can like [52:29] Speaker 2: they can. I feel like they can like understand the [52:31] Speaker 2: different difference in your vocal cords. And so I so [52:36] Speaker 2: I did like a I did like a just like [52:38] Speaker 2: a like just one or two knocks, and I just [52:41] Speaker 2: I had this like it was there's nobody, there's no [52:44] Speaker 2: one else in as far ast like I try and [52:46] Speaker 2: I always try and go to like State Parks on [52:49] Speaker 2: like a Tuesday or like a Wednesday, when there's like [52:51] Speaker 2: nobody there. I think I saw like one, one or [52:54] Speaker 2: two cars further down, which you know, these fishermen, and [53:01] Speaker 2: I had just this like I don't know how to [53:03] Speaker 2: describe it, but it was like a it was like [53:05] Speaker 2: a hellish like a hellish scream that like that came [53:09] Speaker 2: that came through like the forest, and it just it [53:12] Speaker 2: just sounded so like just so unnatural, you know, and [53:15] Speaker 2: like like just no, just it just didn't seem like [53:19] Speaker 2: something like a human, like a human could produce. And [53:23] Speaker 2: then also when I was in del work at National [53:26] Speaker 2: Recreation Area a little bit further south, that's when I've [53:29] Speaker 2: come with like I went there it was like God, [53:32] Speaker 2: it was like maybe a March or April, and it [53:35] Speaker 2: just snowed and so not to many people were there, [53:37] Speaker 2: and I think I had like I had my I've [53:39] Speaker 2: like kind of like snowshoes just to you kind of [53:42] Speaker 2: hike through kind of snowy areas. And I came across [53:46] Speaker 2: like there was someone had discarded their pants there, like [53:49] Speaker 2: you know, at like fifteen hundred feet, Like it was [53:52] Speaker 2: just real, like real, real scary stuff come across somewhere. [53:56] Speaker 2: I was done when I saw that. I just I [53:58] Speaker 2: just came back down because you know, especially like during [54:01] Speaker 2: you know, more like winter months when there's nobody out there. [54:05] Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it can it's it's one of [54:09] Speaker 2: the things where you know, when you go in the woods, [54:11] Speaker 2: like you have to you just have to be have [54:15] Speaker 2: your wits about you, and you know, it was it [54:18] Speaker 2: was really disturbing to find to find that I found [54:24] Speaker 2: even also a National Gap Recreation Area. There's actually like [54:28] Speaker 2: on the PA side, so it's the doll Or Gat [54:32] Speaker 2: National Recreation Area. It's on it's in PA and New [54:35] Speaker 2: Jersey and it kind of straddles the northern northern part [54:38] Speaker 2: of the Delaware River there, and like I came across [54:41] Speaker 2: like it was like you know, it was like April [54:44] Speaker 2: or something, and like something had killed and gutted a [54:47] Speaker 2: deer like off the trail. I mean, there's was there [54:50] Speaker 2: was a report setting like along that area like years ago, [54:55] Speaker 2: like truckers like used to like see you know they [55:00] Speaker 2: foot like you know by the side of the road [55:02] Speaker 2: at night time, like a family of bigfoot. So I [55:04] Speaker 2: definitely I definitely had to go to that area and [55:06] Speaker 2: try and check that out. You know, New Jersey's weird [55:10] Speaker 2: because it has like a lob of these like county [55:13] Speaker 2: and the state parks that are they're really like ginormous. [55:17] Speaker 2: Like there's the the Mainland Dickerson Park and I had [55:20] Speaker 2: a response back to a wood knock there, and you [55:23] Speaker 2: know it's it's not even like a state park, but [55:25] Speaker 2: I believe it's actually a county park, and so it's [55:27] Speaker 2: like really it's really like unvisited and it's near the [55:33] Speaker 2: Picotine Arsenal where all the beave it's all like the [55:37] Speaker 2: drone sightings were like you know, like last year, and [55:41] Speaker 2: like so it's it's like a real, like really really [55:43] Speaker 2: weird area. And so I actually had like a I [55:48] Speaker 2: had a response like to to a wood knock in [55:50] Speaker 2: the area, and I remember like there was there's definitely [55:53] Speaker 2: like an area that was like it's more like a [55:55] Speaker 2: brush kind of area that's like further further out, and [55:59] Speaker 2: like you know, I always trying to like be apprehensive [56:02] Speaker 2: in those areas because you know, if there's a bear, [56:05] Speaker 2: if it's like April or whatever, late March. I think [56:08] Speaker 2: the bears I saw like at you know, near near [56:14] Speaker 2: you know where that saying was at that restaurant that [56:16] Speaker 2: was I saw there was actually it was like a [56:18] Speaker 2: mama bear with like two cubs. And this was like [56:20] Speaker 2: early March, so bears, bears were even getting out like [56:24] Speaker 2: in early March like in this area. I guess it [56:26] Speaker 2: just has to do with a lot of like the [56:29] Speaker 2: temperature and if it's you know, kind of like safe [56:31] Speaker 2: to get out. And I guess another you know, real [56:36] Speaker 2: at least in New Jersey, another area that's gotten like [56:39] Speaker 2: really like crazy in terms of uh, you know, wildness areas. [56:43] Speaker 2: It's called like the Ramapo Ramapo Valley and it's like [56:46] Speaker 2: a large once again, it's like basically two large county [56:50] Speaker 2: parks that combined to like almost like five or ten [56:53] Speaker 2: thousand acres, and there's been sightings up that way you [56:57] Speaker 2: know where you know, you know, someone's driving in a [57:01] Speaker 2: car and Yeah, they've they've had you know, sightings in [57:04] Speaker 2: that area'thing wrong with the Skyline drive, but yeah, even [57:08] Speaker 2: even going out there, it's like you're you realize, you're like, oh, man, [57:11] Speaker 2: like I'm in these areas and like you know, you [57:15] Speaker 2: you can you know see like the New York Skyline [57:17] Speaker 2: sometimes you know, from some of these mountains, and it [57:21] Speaker 2: just makes you realize, like how how quickly things get [57:24] Speaker 2: rural like in some of these areas And I guess [57:30] Speaker 2: just I'm just trying to get to New York, So [57:34] Speaker 2: New York basically God, it's called so basically just across [57:39] Speaker 2: the line, it's called Harriman State Park. And there's there's [57:43] Speaker 2: been like it's called like it's like Seven Lakes Drive, [57:46] Speaker 2: like it's like Tobago Lake, all those types of areas [57:50] Speaker 2: through there, and there's been like multiple, multiple like sightings [57:54] Speaker 2: through that area. And there's there's so many boulder fields [57:58] Speaker 2: and like I totally I'm stood how like you know, [58:01] Speaker 2: somebody could somebody could come across, you know, some type [58:04] Speaker 2: of some type of creature in this area just because [58:07] Speaker 2: it gets like so wild and really, like I said, [58:10] Speaker 2: no nobody is out in these areas. Go a little [58:13] Speaker 2: bit further north, So I went to it's called Lake [58:17] Speaker 2: Lake Minnewaska State Park, and so basically it's it's not [58:20] Speaker 2: really a part of the Cat Skills. It's kind of [58:22] Speaker 2: its own thing. And there's these ice caverns there and [58:26] Speaker 2: like like it's there was a sighting like at these [58:30] Speaker 2: ice caverns like during I feel like a lot of [58:32] Speaker 2: this stuff is just like happening during like the middle [58:35] Speaker 2: like the middle of like winter in these areas. So [58:37] Speaker 2: it's like, you know, like you know, are My theory [58:41] Speaker 2: is like are they like are Bigfoot like migrating from [58:44] Speaker 2: like the Adirondacks down to the cat Skills like during [58:47] Speaker 2: the winter just to like avoid like the extreme like [58:50] Speaker 2: cold temperatures like that. That's kind of my theory for [58:52] Speaker 2: New York. But yeah, I mean, like even just like [58:56] Speaker 2: when you look at into these valleys, it's just it's [58:59] Speaker 2: just like it's it's like Pa, it's like endless. The [59:02] Speaker 2: cat Skills and Adironics have that same feeling of like [59:05] Speaker 2: North central Pa, where you know, there's this level of wildness. [59:10] Speaker 2: I guess, you know, just a quick note about like [59:13] Speaker 2: you know Pa, North Central Pa. Like a lot of [59:15] Speaker 2: these like state forests that became you know, that became [59:20] Speaker 2: state farest was basically because all the railroad industry they [59:25] Speaker 2: destroyed like a lot of these forests back in the [59:27] Speaker 2: early part of the twentieth century, and so the state [59:29] Speaker 2: brought back these lands at Penning on a dollar. And now, [59:32] Speaker 2: you know, one hundred and twenty five years later, you know, [59:35] Speaker 2: a lot of these forests have grown back. And yeah, [59:39] Speaker 2: I think it's it's kind of the same situation up [59:41] Speaker 2: up there near the Cat Skills, and so yeah, I [59:46] Speaker 2: started I started to shooting some videos like near the [59:48] Speaker 2: Cat Skills, and you know, basically like the Cat Skills [59:53] Speaker 2: is really the watershed for New York City. So you [59:55] Speaker 2: go to you know these like different reservoirs up there, [59:58] Speaker 2: and you'll see like New York City Police officers like [1:00:02] Speaker 2: guarding you know, guarding these like reservoirs, and you're like [1:00:05] Speaker 2: two hundred miles away from New York And so I [1:00:08] Speaker 2: went to the Pacting Reservoir. There's like a it's called [1:00:12] Speaker 2: like the Shaver Shaver Town Grill Trail, and like a [1:00:16] Speaker 2: lot of like the the Catskills are known for like [1:00:20] Speaker 2: canning products because like tanning leather products, because the hemlock [1:00:25] Speaker 2: treats produced the Tanning So there's a lot there's like [1:00:28] Speaker 2: a lot of abandoned towns that like used to be [1:00:30] Speaker 2: just like tanneries. And so when I was going off [1:00:34] Speaker 2: this trail, like you know, like once again, I'm I'm [1:00:37] Speaker 2: I'm along on a trail by myself, and like this [1:00:41] Speaker 2: like stick just comes like flying flying through the forest. [1:00:45] Speaker 2: Not a rock. It was it was like a branch, [1:00:47] Speaker 2: like something through a branch, and I just I just [1:00:51] Speaker 2: I just headed out because it was like it was crazy. [1:00:56] Speaker 2: I guess going a little bit like going a little [1:00:58] Speaker 2: bit further north. There's actually a legend in the cat [1:01:01] Speaker 2: Skills of the Grahamsville gorilla, and that was like basically [1:01:06] Speaker 2: just known as like an escape primate. They think, yeah, [1:01:09] Speaker 2: they think, like I said, they think it's more of [1:01:11] Speaker 2: it was more of like a you know of like [1:01:14] Speaker 2: a of a mountain gorilla but from like a zoo [1:01:17] Speaker 2: or from as a circus train. But basically with like [1:01:22] Speaker 2: the Slide Slide Mountain wilderness up there, like you could [1:01:25] Speaker 2: really like it's it's I think the cat Skills are [1:01:28] Speaker 2: also they're also like half a million acres you know, [1:01:31] Speaker 2: just kind of like an Allegheny National forest, and it's [1:01:35] Speaker 2: it's real like my kind of my my target area [1:01:38] Speaker 2: for the area is actually like New York. It's called [1:01:40] Speaker 2: Gilboa and there's a little park there called mine Kill [1:01:45] Speaker 2: State Park. And one thing I've I've been discovering is that, [1:01:48] Speaker 2: like you know, I've been watching a lot of times [1:01:50] Speaker 2: I'll just like I watch like a YouTube video it's [1:01:52] Speaker 2: more of just like a hiking video just to like [1:01:55] Speaker 2: you know kind of like just like get get like [1:01:58] Speaker 2: an as semblance of the train kind of. And like [1:02:02] Speaker 2: so there was this one gentleman who was hiking and [1:02:04] Speaker 2: he was like he was like, oh my god, Like [1:02:06] Speaker 2: you know, like I've seen like hiking videos that showed [1:02:10] Speaker 2: like all the signs of like a classic like Bigfoot [1:02:13] Speaker 2: like encounter, like if it's stalking people and they have [1:02:17] Speaker 2: these people have nothing to do with like Bigfoot. They're [1:02:19] Speaker 2: just like these like just these hiking like hiking trail videos, [1:02:24] Speaker 2: and it really always blows my mind. And so I went. [1:02:29] Speaker 2: I went to it's called Minekill State Park, and there's [1:02:32] Speaker 2: plenty of like plenty of trails, plenty of you know, [1:02:35] Speaker 2: things on that level for you know, really really getting lost. [1:02:41] Speaker 2: And like I said, also with the Slide Mountain Wilderness. [1:02:43] Speaker 2: It's it's it's like, you know, the Catskills actually get [1:02:46] Speaker 2: up to like four forty four thousand feet, so you know, [1:02:51] Speaker 2: it's a really rugged like in wild area for for [1:02:54] Speaker 2: being on the East Coast. And I actually went to [1:02:58] Speaker 2: I also went to the New York big Foot Conference, [1:03:01] Speaker 2: which was in October, and you know, when I was [1:03:06] Speaker 2: up there, like I shot up I shot a video [1:03:09] Speaker 2: for just you know, like the southern southern terminus of [1:03:13] Speaker 2: the Adirondacks. And I feel like, you know, there's other [1:03:16] Speaker 2: people that kind of cover the Adirondacks because like they're [1:03:19] Speaker 2: I think you can get you can fit the Grand Canyon, [1:03:22] Speaker 2: Yellowstone like Glacier and like Glacier and like uh Yosemite [1:03:29] Speaker 2: all in it. It's it's it's just such a vast area, [1:03:32] Speaker 2: you know. So it's like I feel like I'm okay [1:03:34] Speaker 2: with like where I'm where I'm at like more like [1:03:37] Speaker 2: southernly in the mid Atlantic, and you know, and at [1:03:40] Speaker 2: the big Foot conference, I saw, you know, like it [1:03:42] Speaker 2: was it was incredible, like just you know, meeting like [1:03:46] Speaker 2: you know, usually there's like I know, like the Ohio [1:03:49] Speaker 2: big Foot conferences, like thirty thousand people or something. But [1:03:52] Speaker 2: this one, there was only like a hundred people there, [1:03:54] Speaker 2: and like, you know, I met like Ken Gerhart, you know, [1:03:58] Speaker 2: Cliff Barrickman, Renee Hall holland you know doctor Sarmiento, Adam [1:04:04] Speaker 2: Davies like and guys from like Squatches Housetts. So it's [1:04:08] Speaker 2: just it was like a real surreal experience like at [1:04:11] Speaker 2: this conference where there's only like one hundred people, and [1:04:14] Speaker 2: you know, I had I had to pinch myself, you know, [1:04:17] Speaker 2: just just kind of being in that crowd. And you know, [1:04:21] Speaker 2: but I think I realized from that experience maybe the [1:04:24] Speaker 2: Adirondacks are they're they're kind of like the Southern Auronics. [1:04:27] Speaker 2: It's like my, you know, like Saratoga Springs, that's like my, [1:04:31] Speaker 2: that's like my northern northern terminus for where you know, [1:04:34] Speaker 2: I kind of do you know, sasquatch hunting. And I [1:04:39] Speaker 2: also did a I also did a video in Long [1:04:41] Speaker 2: Island too, because they've been uh like sightings of a [1:04:45] Speaker 2: bigfoot in like you know, I think it's like a [1:04:48] Speaker 2: what Whitman State Park, But I was a little bit [1:04:50] Speaker 2: further north near like it's called Sagamore Hill, which is [1:04:54] Speaker 2: like I think it was like Teddy Roosevelt's like summer home, correct, [1:04:58] Speaker 2: and just just yeah, just just being in that area, [1:05:02] Speaker 2: like you know, you like you see like either the [1:05:06] Speaker 2: natural resources that are there, like the abundance of food, [1:05:09] Speaker 2: and you know, it's really really mind blowing. And yeah, [1:05:14] Speaker 2: so that's that's kind of that's that's been my experiences. [1:05:17] Speaker 2: And I believe I'm gonna be heading to uh. I [1:05:20] Speaker 2: finally got to shoot a video Allegheny National Forest soon enough, [1:05:24] Speaker 2: because it's actually legal to it's legal to film in [1:05:28] Speaker 2: national parks now, so yeah, you don't need like a [1:05:31] Speaker 2: you don't need like a film film permit anymore. And [1:05:35] Speaker 2: I'm actually looking to go to so near Alleghany. It's [1:05:38] Speaker 2: called Cook's Farest and that's that's northwest PA. It's near [1:05:43] Speaker 2: like the Forest County Bigfoot Festival and Cooks Fit County [1:05:47] Speaker 2: Cook's Forrest as uh like it actually was an area [1:05:51] Speaker 2: where two railroad companies couldn't decide like who owned the area. [1:05:55] Speaker 2: So it's it's like what the original growth forests like [1:05:58] Speaker 2: still left in PA. So that's that's been my that's [1:06:03] Speaker 2: been my past couple of years, and it's been been [1:06:05] Speaker 2: quite a quite a journey to just really you know, [1:06:09] Speaker 2: come close to something that potentially, like though would people [1:06:13] Speaker 2: you know may not have any like evidence or belief [1:06:18] Speaker 2: in And I just I just like the idea of like, [1:06:21] Speaker 2: you know, potentially finding some type of evidence for you know, [1:06:25] Speaker 2: not only just like Bigfoot, but like any type of [1:06:28] Speaker 2: you know, cryptozoological zoological species that like might you know, [1:06:32] Speaker 2: still still exist. [1:06:35] Speaker 1: It really is a fascinating channel in the fact that [1:06:38] Speaker 1: the reason I I love it is that you do [1:06:42] Speaker 1: hit a lot of the places you go to. I've [1:06:45] Speaker 1: actually had interviews in those areas, so you know, we [1:06:51] Speaker 1: talked about you know, you went and checked out swamp [1:06:53] Speaker 1: Dogs area. Listeners that have been around for a while [1:06:56] Speaker 1: will remember swamp Dog from New Jersey. But also I've [1:06:59] Speaker 1: had plenty of interviews that have you know, talked about [1:07:03] Speaker 1: Misha State Forest, Gilboa a few times, so that area [1:07:09] Speaker 1: has a. [1:07:09] Speaker 2: Lot of really crazy up there. [1:07:11] Speaker 1: Yeah, So in the last few minutes we have I [1:07:15] Speaker 1: actually wanted to talk to you so when you went [1:07:18] Speaker 1: up to Gilboa from your perspective, you know, I'm sure [1:07:24] Speaker 1: you've heard a few of the encounters and sightings in [1:07:27] Speaker 1: that area. Is is that a pretty squatchy area up [1:07:30] Speaker 1: there in Gilboa? [1:07:32] Speaker 2: Yeah. And I say that because literally when I was [1:07:36] Speaker 2: at the Minekill State Park, which is you know writ [1:07:39] Speaker 2: and Gilboa there, there there was no one in the park. [1:07:42] Speaker 2: There wasn't even the park ranger wasn't even in the park, [1:07:46] Speaker 2: and like I was literally the only person there, and [1:07:50] Speaker 2: a like a flock or whatever it is, a gaggle [1:07:54] Speaker 2: of turkeys cut me off in the parking lot, which [1:07:57] Speaker 2: just showed you, like how like crazy and rural, Like [1:08:01] Speaker 2: I mean, you know, turkeys are like like I one [1:08:04] Speaker 2: time I was going back from like I think it [1:08:06] Speaker 2: was the Pipocting Reservoir and I took you know, another [1:08:10] Speaker 2: experience is just like taking a lot of these old [1:08:12] Speaker 2: logging roads and just like waiting just to go over [1:08:15] Speaker 2: a cliff, you know, because they're just so like, you know, rickety, [1:08:20] Speaker 2: and like you know, just just seeing like having a [1:08:23] Speaker 2: you know, like a you know, a little flock of [1:08:26] Speaker 2: you know, turkeys cutting me off in the state park. [1:08:28] Speaker 2: And you know, when I was there, I also saw [1:08:31] Speaker 2: a bobcat by the side of the road. So it [1:08:33] Speaker 2: just shows you like, I mean, these are species that [1:08:36] Speaker 2: like avoid like people at all costs. So you're, you know, [1:08:40] Speaker 2: it's you're you're really like you're really out in the [1:08:42] Speaker 2: middle of nowhere, you know, and there's just like there's [1:08:45] Speaker 2: there's no there's just not even like even outside of [1:08:49] Speaker 2: just like the state parks. Like if you're just like [1:08:51] Speaker 2: in the area just as like a you know, like [1:08:55] Speaker 2: living in there, Like it's all wooded, it's all thick woods. [1:08:59] Speaker 2: It's it's it's like a jungle like when you when [1:09:02] Speaker 2: you go to these areas. [1:09:08] Speaker 1: Some wild stuff. Do you have any ideas for places [1:09:11] Speaker 1: you want to hit in the future. [1:09:14] Speaker 2: Yeah, so I I you know, like like I said, [1:09:17] Speaker 2: I'm going to I'm definitely going to go to the [1:09:20] Speaker 2: uh like Alleyan National, I'm going to go to the [1:09:23] Speaker 2: it's called like the Cook Forest. Uh, you know, a [1:09:26] Speaker 2: bigfoot festival and Marion Marionville, PA. And uh, I'm sorry, [1:09:31] Speaker 2: I don't know. It's a just Forest County big Foot festival. [1:09:33] Speaker 2: It's been it's been there a couple of years. And [1:09:36] Speaker 2: you know now that like you you're able to I'm [1:09:39] Speaker 2: able to film like an Alleghany Reservoir. I'm going to [1:09:43] Speaker 2: go to that area and there's there's a lot of [1:09:46] Speaker 2: a lot of settings around like the reservoir there. So [1:09:49] Speaker 2: that's kind of like you know, I always try and [1:09:51] Speaker 2: I always try and go near like bodies of water [1:09:54] Speaker 2: just because I mean I feel like that's like the [1:09:56] Speaker 2: most you know, kind of prominent area where these creatures [1:09:59] Speaker 2: might be. And then you know, while I'm there mostly [1:10:02] Speaker 2: going to go to the old Grouth Farce that's there. [1:10:06] Speaker 2: I have another places. There's a basically like where I [1:10:10] Speaker 2: you know, I shot my like my thunderbird and like [1:10:13] Speaker 2: there was like the snow Snowshoe videos. It's like a [1:10:19] Speaker 2: little park called Black Black Motion Anon State Park. So [1:10:22] Speaker 2: I'm gonna be I'm gonna be filming a video there [1:10:24] Speaker 2: pretty soon. And uh it's you know, it's these areas [1:10:29] Speaker 2: are just wild. There's there's nobody out there, and especially [1:10:32] Speaker 2: with the state game lands, like it gets really gets [1:10:35] Speaker 2: really hairy, just because you know, three quarters of the year, [1:10:38] Speaker 2: like there's you know and p A p A has [1:10:40] Speaker 2: like you know, the one and a half million you [1:10:42] Speaker 2: know acres of state game land and like basically for [1:10:47] Speaker 2: three cores of the year, really nobody nobody cares, you know, [1:10:51] Speaker 2: or they're just they're primarily for recreation use. They're not [1:10:54] Speaker 2: for hunting use. So it's it's not like they're just [1:10:58] Speaker 2: strictly for you know, hunt it's it can also be [1:11:01] Speaker 2: for you know, playing with trails, like you know, one [1:11:03] Speaker 2: of the one of the state game lands has you know, [1:11:06] Speaker 2: it's like has like tens of thousands of acres, you know, [1:11:10] Speaker 2: So it's it's real like if like you could hide [1:11:14] Speaker 2: a dinosaur like in these areas and like nobody like [1:11:17] Speaker 2: nobody would ever know. Yeah, absolutely, and uh yeah, so [1:11:22] Speaker 2: that's just that's that's been my experience in the past [1:11:24] Speaker 2: couple of years. And you know, I'm, like I said, [1:11:27] Speaker 2: with like the film background, I'm really I'm really doing [1:11:29] Speaker 2: my best to just properly hopefully just get some type [1:11:33] Speaker 2: of some type of footage or something, just because like [1:11:36] Speaker 2: it's you know it, I feel like there's been such [1:11:42] Speaker 2: like momentum for something that happened that like it's it's [1:11:46] Speaker 2: like it needs to like be solidified, to like really cemented, [1:11:51] Speaker 2: to hopefully try and you know kind of uh possibly [1:11:56] Speaker 2: you know, have this have this species you know recognized, [1:12:00] Speaker 2: even you know, if if I get like a like [1:12:02] Speaker 2: some footage or something, you know, then getting having like [1:12:06] Speaker 2: a proper like a proper scientist like come out to [1:12:09] Speaker 2: the field and you know examine these areas you know, [1:12:12] Speaker 2: hopefully you know, being able to like just just get [1:12:16] Speaker 2: some type of like real like proper scientific, you know, [1:12:19] Speaker 2: recognition of of what's going on, because like because because [1:12:23] Speaker 2: something's going on, you know, and I think I think [1:12:27] Speaker 2: it'll it'll really just give give credence to like all [1:12:31] Speaker 2: the people, you know, Like I mean, I guess, you know, well, [1:12:34] Speaker 2: my my strategies for really you know kind of you know, [1:12:38] Speaker 2: searching for these creatures comes from like John Green, where [1:12:40] Speaker 2: he was like he was like, you know, just kind [1:12:42] Speaker 2: of like stick to like a certain area, right, like [1:12:46] Speaker 2: don't like don't go all. I feel like if I [1:12:49] Speaker 2: were to go to Alaska or something, I feel like [1:12:52] Speaker 2: I would have I would land into like an alien [1:12:54] Speaker 2: world of like trying to understand like I don't know [1:12:57] Speaker 2: the terrain, you know. But I feel like when I [1:12:59] Speaker 2: go out to into like the mid Atlantic region, like [1:13:01] Speaker 2: a PA in New York, like I know, like I [1:13:04] Speaker 2: know the forest, and I know I know what's supposed [1:13:08] Speaker 2: to be there and what's not. You know, So just [1:13:10] Speaker 2: by in terms of like you know, process of elimination, [1:13:13] Speaker 2: I can really potentially you kind of kind of discover, [1:13:17] Speaker 2: you know, what may or may not be there. [1:13:20] Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I mean that reminds me of Lyle Blackburn [1:13:23] Speaker 1: told me once become the person who's the expert for [1:13:29] Speaker 1: the weird stuff in your area because no one else [1:13:31] Speaker 1: is going to do it. Greg, thank you so much [1:13:33] Speaker 1: for coming on the show today.

Before we [1:16:57] Speaker 1: wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to [1:17:00] Speaker 1: a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military, [1:17:03] Speaker 1: any branch or forces, and if you've seen something that [1:17:07] Speaker 1: no one can explain. Or if you're a National park [1:17:10] Speaker 1: ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, [1:17:14] Speaker 1: or if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down [1:17:17] Speaker 1: on the ground, or if you're with the FBI a [1:17:19] Speaker 1: federal agency, or working intelligence and you stumbled upon something [1:17:23] Speaker 1: you're not allowed to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, [1:17:26] Speaker 1: paramedic or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or [1:17:30] Speaker 1: found tracks that didn't make sense. If you're in the [1:17:33] Speaker 1: logging industry on a remote oil field, or a trucker [1:17:37] Speaker 1: with government contracts and you've had something happen that you've [1:17:41] Speaker 1: never told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a [1:17:44] Speaker 1: wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract who has [1:17:48] Speaker 1: found evidence you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, [1:17:52] Speaker 1: a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat and you [1:17:55] Speaker 1: saw something that shook your faith, or if you work [1:17:58] Speaker 1: in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or anything with clearance and [1:18:02] Speaker 1: you've seen what the public hasn't, then I want to [1:18:06] Speaker 1: talk to you, even if it's anonymous.
