You're listening to Bigfoot Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first-hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways, the stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it. So settle in because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us. Please keep Jeremiah in your prayers as he continues his fight against cancer. For more updates about his medical journey, please go to the Caring Bridge link in the show notes.

Thank you. All right, Bigfoot Society. I've got the privilege of talking to Gordon today. Gordon's an individual I met over on the TikTok side of Bigfoot Society, which is Bigfoot. Dot Society. And Gordon, welcome to the show. You're an outdoorsman. How are you doing today, sir?

Good. Thank you very much. And you told me something interesting if you would be willing to share that why you were willing to come forward and do something like this. Well, it's been going on since, like I said, 88. And I've never said anything because I didn't kind of really, I didn't want to mess with. But I saw an interview, which I found out it was you. from a cop in the next town over said he was

he washed one for like 10 minutes or whatever and I'm like well yeah it's out of the bag basically and that was the Gleney Michigan interview that was like a standoff at a vacation log cabin pretty wild stuff

yeah um you know it it's the hereon national forest and a lot of people don't realize how big it actually is. It's, it's one million acres even,

so it's, and that's big. People don't realize it. It's bigger than Rhode Island and slightly smaller than Delaware. Wow. That is massive. So it's a big chunk of land.

And it's, it's along the Asobo River. Oh, which pretty much cuts the state in half. And so I, would be in between glennie and the river i spend a lot of time in the woods um by a lot i mean probably 140 days i think was last year the year before that was like 160 days i mean i started off you know as a kid back in 88 it was like you know okay go up there for the weekends

you know your friday saturday sunday thing and then it kind of made me go to Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sundays, you know, I just been going more and more as the older I get. So I throw on the backpack and I do my scouting, you know, for bird, coyotes. You know, I got coyote and I do some trapping. The normal deer, bear. The trapping's not as fun as they make it sound. So an individual like you where you are in the woods so often a great part of the year. I mean, you know everything that's supposed to be there, the sounds, the sites.

I mean, you would have such a familiarity with the area that you go to. So it's not surprising that you're able to notice what's going on in these forests that you go to. Is that a good way to put it? Exactly. I mean, I know as much as conservation to tell you the truth. I talk to them. And it was talking about the conservation guys, the DNR is like, I tried to tell them, you know, hey, we got cat up here, you know. And they're like, no, no, no, no. I'm like, well, then how does a deer carcass get 30 feet, 35 feet up in a tree? You know? I was like, no, no. And I don't know if the DNR, they got to know something. because it was like

where I'm at there's like eight cottages and then nothing for like four miles towards Gleney and then nothing for a couple miles the other direction. You know,

it's like 15 minutes to get a pop or your minnow and you know, it's a gas station party store bait shop. Right, right. So you're in the sticks. I'll tell you this. I'm out in Iowa

and I know, I mean, dude, I talked to a DNR guy at the state fair about his big foot thing. So it's like, they totally know out here. So I'm sure they know in Michigan too. They just don't say anything. Yeah, they're just not going to say anything. But so, so man, what was the first, what was the first time you had an experience where you realize, yeah, there's something going on out here in the woods? Well, like I said, you know, I, I know a coyote.

and bear, deer make more vocalizations than you think. And if you ever hear Bobcats, that'll make you, that'll make you look. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So it was like,

we were up there in 86 and 87, and my dad bought the property in 88, and we had it, an area bulldozed for the context. And so we were burning stumps and stuff like that. And we're still intense. And I mean, it's funny now, but we're going to bed and everything. You got to remember I was like 22.

And I remember playing as day, I had a little tiny little chrome-looking flashlight with a red lens on it. And we're laying in the tent. And this was after dinner and everything, going to bed. And all of a sudden I hear something, you know, I was like, I wake. I go, hey, dad. I go, tink, I hit the little flashlight. He's just like, go back to sleep like I was a little kid. And he had his 44 bag on his chest.

It was like he already knew what was going on, you know. It's like, holy crap. And something big, very big, was right next of the tent. And it was kind of like, I mean, bears are big, you know, but like the one I got was 350 pounds. But you can tell how big, how much larger this thing was. And it just, it just, you know, went away. then and then a little bit later on.

You know, the thing is, I didn't really think about any of this stuff. I heard it on like, in search of with Leonard Nimoy. Right, right. And then, you know, that was just passive, you know, it's like, oh, the locknest monster, or this or that, and you watch it. And, uh, but once we started getting out there and everything, and we got like some fireouts where they just cut like one mile squares. so a truck can get back there.

And I seen like on one side of it was, it's a lot of sand. So I just seen a big impression. And then in the middle of the fire route, I seen a very large footprint, another large footprint, and then a big, you know, spush in the sand. So basically two steps and it was over it. Didn't see nothing, you know, just like, and, you know, being younger, I was like, ha, ha, ha, ha, you know, somebody's screwing around. And some of these things that I may tell you, I put together after the fact.

Like I've seen, you know, supposedly they set things up like TPs. or, you know, falling branches. But you look up at it and it's, you know, because they're pretty substantial. Well, wind doesn't make them fall north, southeast, and west. You know, the wind comes through and blows them all west, well, where I'm at. I've seen that before and I was told, you know,

And me being puzzled, I'm like, oh, well, what the heck could do that? Or who would take the time to do something like that, you know, because it's not done. You know, it's artificial. Right. And then a couple years later, like, oh, you know, I hear from, you know, one of your guys' podcasts. Well, they didn't have podcasts right there. But, you know, you hear the stories of how, well, that's how long ago it was. Yeah, sure.

You know, you learn about it. But like in 1990, I go walking down this trail with my brother who was younger than me. And all of a sudden, I'm walking down the trail and you see this big root root system up in the air. I'm like, what the heck is, you know, what is that? and it was an upside down tree stuffed in the ground. But my immediate reaction, it wasn't like this was a saskatch or whatever. It was like, why would somebody take the, you know, earth moving equipment? Because you're not doing it with a pulse holder.

Right. You know, you need something, you know, a bigger auger from on a bobcat or something, you know. And I was like, why would somebody do that? And, you know, then like a year or two later, I'd find out, oh, supposedly they do this type of activity. Sure. But you got to remember, it was probably about a big as around as a telephone pole. So humans can't, like, do that. And the ground's not disturbed or nothing, you know.

I was like, it just went, pooh, planted, you know. I was like, check this off. I've seen that twice up there. and the TP thing, I didn't find one for like literally 20 years after that, but there's another spot that I found, you know, that I've been going to. And nobody goes down there because it's one of those three steps forward, one step back type scenarios. Right.

And it was like late February. This was just two years ago. So I'm telling you there's a huge span. with everything I'm telling you. There's no, no, there weren't even like car depressions where like, you know, they ran over snow and then it snowed again, you know, where everything was just smooth. No footprints, nothing. I, of course, I had to go down there.

I go down there. I was like, what is that? You know, it was another teepe type setup where everything was put together. When it came time to build, which was like 90, yeah, 1990. My dad was like, you know, oh, you just want to go into town and grab a burger. You know, because it was getting late from, you know, we were still doing the clearing and everything. And this is on Bissinette Road is what it's called. It's one side of the river and the other side of the river is River Road.

and the elevation you probably got, because it's dammed, it's probably an easy 100 foot, like from the top of the dam on one side to the river on the other side. Because, you know, you got the high side's called the pond and then the low side's just the river. And it was like, yeah, you know, we don't, he didn't want to like cook outside on the, on the campfire because we didn't have a place there yet. And so he's like, yeah, let's go on the town. So we go driving down the road and coming from the riverside, it was like, we're just BSing back and forth as we're, you know, driving down the road. All of a sudden, it was like, well, you know, the gravel part, one, two steps, the third step, it hit the other side of the gravel part and hopped into the woods.

well we're driving in the cordoba back then and my dad just turns and looks at him he goes did you see that i said yeah he goes good he goes don't say nothing wow so you saw it cross the road in front of you oh man huge um i've been i've flipped houses for years cabinet shops and all of stuff. So I know what eight foot is because of drywall and sheets of melamine and all that stuff, you know. And that time in particular, I mean, a lot of people say, you know, their stuff can't be like that. I'd probably say that was 10 foot. And I mean, when you, it was pretty close to the, you know, to the vehicle. And when it came out and hopped over,

it kind of just gave a little bit of a, you know, you know, looked at us. And it was probably about 10 foot tall. And when you see a head on these things, like your head's probably, you know, between seven and eight inches, normal like human head. And, uh,

but I'd probably say, 16 to 18 inches. My goodness. So, never seen like a good face or anything like that, you know, but you can just tell, bam. I mean, it's that big.

Shoulders, I'd have to say literally five foot wide. Man. 100% over four foot, because I'm probably two foot. You know, I'm, 5-9-190.

Weight, I couldn't. I mean, if I had to guess, it was definitely north of 500 pounds. Okay. Yeah. Definitely north. Easy.

Because like I said, you know, I'm going to tell you, I got Lions tickets. I've seen some, I used to go to the Silver Dome. I've had tickets gone downtown. It would pick up one of these

linemen like Thanos you know and on Marvel and just ragged out one of these giant linemen

that I've stood next to before wow I mean I mean you would I would have to say it would probably be

you know two and a half feet thick easily and it's just huge man real quick about that so what year was that again that was like 90 okay 90 and was this oscada oscada township escota yeah yeah well yeah it's right by the cook dam okay um i asked that because one i looked up the road and that's what came up and also i've actually had another sighting in that

area over at Van Etton Lake. Oh, yeah. 71. There was a guy and his sister. They were really little, and they were picking blueberries, and they saw one right there. Even though they were screaming, it still came, kept walking towards them. Wild stuff, man. So, yeah, that area, you know, a few sightings.

So how many seconds do you think you saw it in all? At that incident, crossing the street was probably seven seconds. Okay, okay. No, because, I mean, it seemed like it, when you put it together, would have hopped across the ditch and landed on the gravel area. Right. And then just one, two, and then the third step, it was on the other side of the gravel hop in a ditch to the other side. My goodness. Was it more human-like features or ape-like or something just totally different?

Oh, no. I mean, you know, what did they do? They found, like, the mountain gorilla, like, 20 years ago has absolutely nothing to do with a gorilla. Okay. Totally different. Yeah, it's just, if you kind of look at that, really, like, that one TV show, it was called Harry and the Henderson's. Oh, yeah, similar to that. But it didn't have that, like, slopy forehead.

It was just a big head. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. okay my goodness yeah that was wow you know it was totally upright arms swinging and you want to talk some pipes on that thing or the the the muscles on it you could tell like that the bicep was like 18 inches 20 inches long just just a everything exaggerated because it's enormous. So your dad said not to say anything. And so did you not say anything for a while then? I didn't say anything while he passed away like five years ago.

And I finally told my brother and my daughter. Oh, wow. Oh, man. So I kept that by. You did. Wow. Good for you. Yeah.

And, uh, but I did say stuff. other people when he you know about other experiences that weren't with him got it okay you know and then you know of course you get the flack thrown at you know uh oh you're crazy or you were drinking or this or that i was like no man you know now we were driving or you know i'm i'm not drinking when i'm going you know six miles in the woods you know first of all i'm not carrying it you know because, you know, ounces equal pain when you're walking through the woods, you know. Oh, for sure. Yeah. Absolutely.

You know, 100%. I'm the type, I'll put a day pack on and I'll bring food with me, you know, and I'll just stay out. Because, like, the big thing in deer hunting, if you want to be successful, you got to stay out. Whenever you want to get up, you stay another 20 minutes. Yeah. You know, but, you know, I don't know what the, what it is with the DNR. They keep stuff quiet and everything, you know, because we had a lady up there post a picture at the, actually, it's called the dam store because it's right by the foot dam. And everybody's got their bragging board, you know, your big fish or your big buck and all that stuff.

She took a picture of a cougar with kits on her car, on the hood of her car. She was going to bring her kids out to go to school. And the DNR took it off. No way. Oh, that's terrible. Yeah. So I've seen big cat tracks up there and then, you know, things like that. But you've got to be out, you know, in the woods.

I know where the coyotes dens are and all that kind of. stuff and all the different noises. So at that age, how did that affect you seeing something like that? Did it get you all gung-ho towards Bigfoot or were you like pretty freaked out about it? Well, yeah, I was a little freaked out that something that giant is just, you know, walking around doing its thing, you know, and you don't see it. But when it wasn't really that odd to not see it because how many people see a bear in the woods? Right.

Not very many. You're not going to see a bobcat. You're lucky, you know. Like I said, you can hear them. They scream. Well, we can get to that later. But, yeah, I mean, coyotes have their own noises. I know when coyotes are fighting or whether they're on the hunt, you know, doing their different vocalizations and everything.

One year, I got a power line, a major power line, not just telephone poles, but the big steel, you know, high rise. And from like this and that, it takes you about a mile of driving back into the woods on a dirt road. a service road, but it goes up into a big hill. And then, well, when we were younger, we'd race our sleds up there and everything. And, but then I don't know what agency did it. They put giant boulders, like the size of cars up there so nobody could race up the hill anymore. And I'm going back there in my Lincoln, which isn't the most Baja-type vehicle. And so I walked like another quarter mile up and I got up to the very top of the hill and I was just, I was just, you know, sitting.

Got my nice, a nice set of binoculars, you know, and I'm just watching because it was like September, early September. And I was, you know, glassing because I got a 300 weather bee with a six by 20 Leopold on it. So if I want to take a shot and I can send it, I was just glassing. And where the power line is, it's probably a good 80 yards wide. But I'm talking as far as you can see and straight because they don't do ferns, you know, because it's not efficient for when you're bulldozing. and man, I tell you, I'm sitting there in about 800 or so yards. I'm just glass in the edge of the forest because I had already walked through.

And you can see where they come out because they're a creature of habit, the deer. And I'm just sitting there, sitting there. I didn't know nothing and I had my had my coffee. and I just I'm glassing I'm glassing I'm like man that thing looks darker than just a regular stump because once the stumps get older they start graying out you know and uh as soon as I put soon as I went like you know want and it was like I made like a a weird kind of an eye contact with it oh man or sorry just stood straight up wow I was like holy crap and then, you know, turned around.

Well, it must have, it was a weird kind of vibe, you know. Yeah. Because, you know, I was there for a easy half hour, you know, and I saw the little darker spot, you know, which said, oh, maybe, is it a bear or what it, what kind of rotted log or whatever? Because I don't know what I saw was maybe a little movement or something that made me really get my focus on that spot. And I was just like,

and then as soon as I saw it, I knew I saw it. That's so weird. I hear that more than a few times, Gordon. It's so weird. I got one of those fire routes or trails cut in. And I was about two miles back. And it was, archery season. And all of a sudden, when I thought I heard was a, you know, like they say their communication

is knocking or whatever, but I hear a bam, you know, bam, bam, bam. And so where that, where that happened, I was just coming up on a side shoot. off the main fire route. Well, I figured somebody was like trying to change a tire on a car. And like sometimes you get your old beater trucks for the woods and they're, they could be brushed it on, you know? And they're here like hitting the tire or the, you know, the rim or something. So I heard the, I forget it was like three big knocks.

Well, it's about a half a mile to the next road. And then, which is a blacktop road. Bissonette and then there's the giant chunk of woods across street. So I hear, you know, knock, knock, knock. And then from the other side of the road, I heard the whoop. Oh, wow. Yeah. But you can even be that far away, you'd be surprised the amount of like resonance to their, you know, it's like it comes deep, you know.

And it went from my brain went from some poor fools ripping his exhaust off or beating the tire off of his car to holy crap, that's communication. So, who, who. And it was like three of them. And when that happened, it was like every single hair on my body. I was like a porcupine. And yeah, just totally, I'm not talking, ooh, my arm here. I felt hair everywhere. And so, you know, I was with my bow. So I was like, I actually started jogging down the trail. Like, I'm getting out of here because it was, you know, I got out of my stand, you know, 20 minutes, you know, before dark, dark.

And I definitely wanted to get out. out of there, you know. It was, so I jogged for like a half a mile. One other time, same location, had one pacing me. Oh, man. But staying in the

staying in the woods. But I don't think they want any harm or anything like that. I think maybe, yeah, it's just a curiosity because I think, I believe you know, watching the ones went across the road and stuff like that, you're not a threat. You know, because it will just squish you.

You're not a threat to something that big. Absolutely. I think it just knows that I'm not going to be able to do nothing. And so that was my thinking on it. If you're not out there, you're never going to have an experience. That's the thing. You're exactly right. I invite a friend up there.

It's like, oh, well, I was up here for the weekend and I didn't, you know, see anything. I was like, dude, you got up here Friday night. You probably put in three hours Saturday for a morning hunt, three hours Saturday for an evening hunt. And then the same thing, Sunday morning, and you bounce. Well, we got over a thousand hours in the woods that season. You know, and, you know, like I said, I'm gone, you know, all day. You know, so it's like, if you're not going to see a deer, you're not going to see a bear. You're not going to see something like this.

You know, 100%. Yeah. And, you know, like I said, I know all the different vocalizations of animals and stuff. And last year, just chilling at the campfire, you know, probably 12, 31 in the morning. Girlfriends sitting there, like I said, you had the radio on a little whatever. Coming back from that same trail I was just telling you about, heard some really deep, guttural, bellow. And we got the chairs between us.

And like I said, it's so loud. And the girlfriend, immediately, it was like, bruh, like that. She just stood straight up, turned around. She said, I'm taking a shower and walked in the cottage. Right. Yeah, absolutely. So I'm kind of laughing, but I had my 40s sitting right. right next to me.

And by next thing after I chuckled as she was walking, I went and got the garden or the rake. Yep. Raked all the coals, kicked the log off, and I ended up going in like five minutes later. You know, it was that foreign of a noise. And an interesting vocalization is another one was really garbled. and if you if you ever like if you have a I had labs and you hear them like you know you wrestle with them or in the right but not growls right more it was more garbled and uh I heard that coming from from the same thing well immediately I was like okay I know there's a coyote den about a third of a mile the other direction but it was no coyote.

You know, I tried to, in my head, say, oh, it's coyotes wrestling or playing around or whatever. You know, I'm like, no, no, that's a third of the mile east. And this is like straight back. And, but loud, you know, and really don't, you know, nothing daytime or or anything like that. It always ends up being in the night. And I've never seen all the times I've been up in there. the winner never never had an experience like that oh interesting okay that's really yeah wow so i don't know if it's something where they move to another area or if they done up or what their biology is or

whatever you know like maybe they could hibernate like a bear does you know because i've seen Baird-ends and stuff like that. And, you know, like I said, when I went, when I went down to the lowland where nobody goes, that was winter. Nobody was down there. So sometime after deer season, so you might as well say January, between January and St. Patrick's Day, I forget that. Is that, that's March?

So sometimes. I believe so, yeah. Yeah, sometime in between there, that's where one of those Tee Struckers was set up because I was down there. Because I play like a billy goat, you know, I don't care. I'll do my thing. You just got to take it slow in the woods so you don't hurt yourself because if you hurt yourself, you're, you're screwed, you know. Oh, yeah. Same thing, you know, if I go up to like Iron Mountain and Kiwanah and.

some places even down here, you can't use a compass. Because if you're on iron ore, the compass just spins. Oh, yeah, good call. Yep. You know, so it's like, you know, North is that way. Right. Yeah. So you got to know what you're doing or you can really get lost. Yeah.

Oh, for sure. And, man, you hear so many wild stories out of Michigan. people don't realize how much crazy stuff happens on either side of the area of Michigan. You're talking. I mean, you got Manistee National Forest and then Huron both are pretty wild. Oh, yeah. Has there been a time or maybe it's one of those times you mentioned where you were pretty, like, you're like, I'm getting out of there. I'm kind of scared of what's going on.

Would that be probably the time you jogged out? Yeah, you know, I mean, to actually say that I was like, oh, I'm scared. Yeah, that would that would be. Yeah. And it had no idea, you know. And then the other time same season, uh, when it was pacing me through the woods. If I was, I would like walk slow, it would walk slow. Right.

You know, and almost to a fault, it's like, I know the area's so good, I really don't need much of a flashlight. You know, a lot of guys go out there with these big flashlights that will light up half the woods. Well, I don't need that because I go there so often. You know, I got tree stands quarter mile away that I don't even need my flashlight. I can navigate it in the dark, you know. Oh, yeah. Because I've been around there so often, you know, I can, by moonlight or whatever, I can pick up, you know, oh, yeah, okay, that's my giant oak and I got to turn right, you know, or, you know, whichever the hill, because we got a lot of hill. People I think it's flat, it's not nowhere near flat.

We got some pretty rugged terrain. You know, I'm not talking, you know, Iron Mountain train, but we got hills and, you know, steep drop-off. and stuff like that. So I know which gully that I'm going in. It's like, okay, don't go down. You better stay up, you know? Yeah, absolutely. So when you were getting, when you were getting paced,

you were out there in the dark, just walking in the dark because you knew where everything was and something was pacing you? Well, yeah, pacing me. Honestly, that's all I had was a mini-mag. Oh, okay, gotcha. Yep, yep. Those were popular back then, you know.

Right, right. And they're still convenient. Like I said, I didn't have my, I got, I had big flashlights for around the cottage, but not for when I'm going because, you know, don't want to carry it. Yeah, absolutely. What, what would you say in, so what do you think was the most recent experience that you had? Oh, it would be the, it would be the last, the one last year, when I said, I mean, it was that big bellowing sound

coming down off the hill because it was up higher when my girlfriend said, I'm out of here. Okay. Gotcha. Wow. Yeah.

When you are, so I guess first question is do you ever share these with your, your hunting buddies? And if you do, do they ever say, hey, yeah, we've had stuff like that happened to

in the same area? actually I'm on the east side of the state here. Everybody else I know is more in the middle or the west. I got somebody's in the shotgun zone. They say they've seen, you know, things that they didn't know and they thought they were bears or whatever. Or they'll make fun of me because I'm one of them kind of hairy Italian dudes. So they call me the Sasquatch, you know.

It was like, yeah. Uh-huh. Right. Yeah. And it was like, you're the Sasquatch, you know? I'm like, oh, yeah, okay. But, you know, they treat it all lighthearted. And they say, all right, you know, well, I'll take your word for it.

But. And you're never going to get like a footprint because it's a very sandy county. The whole county sand. Got it. Got it. You know, you got like eight inches of earth on top of a sandbed, you know. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah.

But like I said, I wasn't even going to really do anything until I saw your thing with the cop and Glennie. And the vast majority of these happen in between me and Glennie, because that's where I cruise, you know. Which is wild because it's one of my really early episodes. like the whole time he's I think he was on the phone and he's just like rubbing up against his beard

and I was thinking I think it'd be fine because no one will not a lot of people are going to listen to this one so it's fine I'll just let him go and dude

that's like the number two listened episode to my YouTube channel it's like thousands and hundreds of thousands of people and I'm like oh man I should have

I should have told them can you take it away from your beard but it's still people really liked it It's one of the most popular ones that I've ever done on YouTube. But that area, that area is wild, man. I just, I just, I don't know, I forget how old you said it was, but I just saw it like, you know, two months ago.

Because I never really got into wanting to tell or whatever. And I just started watching some, you know, some of these on like YouTube. And I was like, no kid, you know, just passively clicking the remote. Well, there's the algorithm for you. It'll send stuff your way. So I'm glad it got your way. But Gordon, this has been, it's a really fascinating conversation about an area. It hasn't come up.

It's come up probably two other times, the one I mentioned earlier and the one that you mentioned. And, man, it's been fun talking to you. I want to make sure that you were able to share everything that you came onto the show to share today. Right on. Thank you very much. Awesome. Oh, man. Keep me, keep us in the loop. You know, you're still going out there.

You're spending hundreds, you know, 100 plus days, thousands of hours. If you ever experience anything else out there, we'd love to hear about it. Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a National Park Ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI, a federal agency, or working intelligence, and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about,

and if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search-and-rescue responder, who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense, if you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field or trucker with government, contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul and if you're a biologist a wildlife specialist or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report if you're a pastor a missionary or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith or if you work in the shadows CIA NSA or anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't then i want to talk to you
