So let's get on with the show. All right, Bigfoot Society, we've got the privilege of talking to Taya tonight. And she contacted me from the great state of Oregon about some things that they've experienced over a nine-year period. How's it going tonight, Taya? It's going on very good.

Perfect weather. Definitely perfect weather. It's starting to get a little bit cooler out here in Iowa. And I'm sure it's beautiful out there in Oregon as well. But, you know, you sent me a little bit about what happened. It just sounds like a fascinating story. And you even were able to talk with, you know, Cliff Berkman about it. And it's just, it's, I can't wait to hear the whole story.

So I'm just so glad that you're on the phone with me tonight. Well, thank you very much. much for having me, for inviting me. I really appreciate that. And it's very good to be able to bring it to the forefront. I listened to your podcast about being close in to neighborhoods and such. And though we were out and we did have neighbors, We weren't right in a town or having a bop around like that.

But we were around neighbors. There were far off distant farms and such. And when we went there, we went there because we had decided we wanted to do something different. People, you know, they go to Yellowstone Park and their cats. hosts at Yellowstone, all the different ways in. And we thought, too, that might be a good adventure since we had a decent RV we could be in. And we just fell into this kind of a watch situation where we were watching equipment for logging and various different things going on in this property,

which also included that they would have occasional hikers come through there and so forth. So they wanted everything watched. And it was a really good feel for us because we weren't really really really working. were all able to keep, actually keep jobs outside of there, but we were able to be up there in the times and the necessary times and overnight when they really needed us to keep an eye on things. So it felt pretty good. And, you know, it was like, you know, parents, you know, we were never actually i i do need to digress a little bit we never did ever reveal that we ever had those experience there because of the various different people that would come in and we did

not want anybody to be fearful of anything because number one it's a forest and it has everything in it, you know, from Bobcat bear, you know, coyote. There was a small bear. It was a tiny bear. But we had owls and everything in there that you would expect. So

we tried to help folks that did come in there to understand that it was actually a forest. It needed to be regarded as such so that there wouldn't be any surprises from any of the wild animals. and we tried to

you know we were there they'd ask questions but we'd always be distracted from our job with Tio Cash and Poceman folks and you know they'd drop by you got a clue we know one's up here

and all that and of course I mean we didn't because we didn't do that but our adventures started in September of 2009. We moved into the little RV site thing that they had set up for us. And, you know, after living in a park for a while, a regular RV park,

I just felt totally wonderful there because it was just a breath of fresh air. And, you know, having a variety of evergreens. and a blend of deciduous. It was just, it was a glorious forest, a great place to be. Peace and quiet, no cars. So, you know, here we are. We move in. We're just left on our own to explore and to find our way through the forest on our own.

They just kind of were so happy to have us. They just go, okay, here it is, you know. Have fun, basically. and so we started to explore and you know we didn't make our way through the forest right away we went out and we watched the bluff it was beautiful at the southwest view it was just totally glorious with the sunset colors and everything

so we listened to all the woodland sounds and watched you know the sun sink into the west and sizzle it's way out, but it wasn't dark. It was still light. So I said to my husband, I said, hey, I said, we're here. So why don't we go exploring, you know, and he's like, well, it's almost dark. He wasn't so sure about that. We had a side by side that was left there for us to use.

And I'd never driven a side by side. had driven a farm things and a four-wheeler and things like that, you know, had to be adventurous. So we decided to take our first trip to the forest, not realizing that it was dust up there or not quite dusk. But when you get to the forest, it's like a lot darker. So we're going snaking down this kind of, you know, logging road thing down. down this hill and it's getting dark and we had the lights on but I thought well geez these aren't these aren't bright enough so I reached down and and went to put the brights on while my husband was driving and the lights went out so that was our first little adventure in the

forest thank God I had my mag light flashlight and I got it on the big spot a spotlight part and I put it at the ditch and I said okay honey you followed the bouncing ball and I bounced it up through the ditch line and we got

back up around the corner and up there where it was safe and in our house but you know that was our first tour of the of the forest and the dark our next tour

was daylight and you know we went we went down the road and explored all the different parts of the area and you know looking over everything that we needed to look over and it it was just you know a wonderful beautiful place to be it after a rain it smelled like It smelled like Christmas trees. It was so clean and beautiful in there. And on the weekends, you know, we'd go out and just sit and have our coffee on this deck that we kind of threw together really quick right after we moved there. And we fenced it in to be kind of a cateo so that, and we would cook out there every night.

And within within a few days, we experienced odd noises with, and a lot of coyote calls and all different from all different directions around the hill and it was most nights and, you know, fall was coming fast

and, you know, as the coyotes seemed to quit calling and being around, that all came out and it became more frequent given kind of a haunted feeling to the forest.

But I guess it seemed to be mating season that was upon us. But it just seemed like it was getting busier and busier with the animals outside. We would just sit out there and cook outdoors. The lowest, we had a, it was an undeveloped part of the forest. It was really pretty rugged down there. It hadn't really had any robe built into it. Anything done down there had to be pretty much done on foot or with some type of heavy equipment. And it was pretty heavily forested down there.

And we just, you know, sit there and be cooking our meal. And all of a sudden we got this just god-awful odor. And it was my thought to be a dead deer because, you know, cougars going through there, they're probably a cougar kill. that you know my husband was very sensitive to odor and he complained that the smell was like he and still today he says it was the most unclean human rotting flesh a smell that he ever smelled and and um it that for me since it was a forest it had all the animals of birds and a person who had experience back that perhaps there would be a predator in there and leave bones behind.

But unfortunately, that odor made it a little unsettling because, you know, our first days there, we seemed to notice that there were very few deer living there. So we didn't know, you know, we had no idea what was going on that way. but a few days after moving in and while on our our daylight side-by-side ride through miles

of roads and trails we came upon a wrap of fresh killed deer bones in the road and it looked like it been boned out by by a hunter like a hunter's bounty but one thing was wrong

it it just wasn't how it laid there wasn't right it it could have been dragged by a coyote because it found it that it was it was boned out

but not and it wasn't a complete carcass It was gone out. The flesh had been taken off, but not by sharp teeth, and there were no knife marks in it. It seemed like the head had been just tore off of it. And of course, there weren't any front legs there because they're only held on by soft tissue and skin anyway. So that was kind of earth-shaking for us.

and we were totally thinking that somebody had come in there and and pushed a deer and then through the bones out up there but you know with after that happened each day led to its it's its own strange happenings with one strange thing after another and much to our surprise we found out that we had an eccentric neighbor who was sneaking in at night and building a fire in the forest and partying in the moonlight and tossing beer cans around in the forest. And how they got in was they skinned by a building

that was there for keeping the side by and so forth like that. And they get past that building. We'll be back with more Bigfoot Society after these words from our sponsors. On this episode of plant killers, we'll explore one nation's most notorious fruit and vegetable killer, bad dirt. What makes bad dirt so bad? The answer? The ingredients. But fear not true crime enthusiasts.

Need to hire? This is a job for Indeed's sponsored jobs. They say everything happens for a reason, but I suspect everything happens for a recess. Like this commercial break. Did you need 15 seconds away from music or 15 seconds to eat or Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a recess. And they have this little truck.

it was like handspray painted camouflage. And they'd go in and swipe firewood and things like that as well. Or be picking wildflowers at night with a flashlight. It was just the oddest thing. So with all that happening and a horse getting away and I'm coming down and checking that out and wondering if we were hiding it, bizarre little things like that, when Christmas came and we started hearing noises down over the hill into the forest in the logging area we were just for sure thinking that this person this neighbor was down there on Christmas Day

so we're dressed up ready for Christmas dinner and we hear all this noise I think well it's Christmas we better get the side by and go out and look. So we go down there and eight miles of roads and trails all around down in there to check out. And we got down there and the noise wasn't where we heard it. But it was above us. So we go around where that was and nobody was there. And it kept doing that and playing with.

us. We believed it was her that we couldn't hear a vehicle. We believed it was this neighbor. And so we decided to, instead of going the road the way we've done and like we were following, we started cutting across and think, you're okay, we're running into them. We'll chase them out. It'll be done. And we could go. And we were down there an hour and a half. And we never saw one person down there. But we heard all the noise. We heard people talking. We heard laughing.

We heard everything. So I'll dress up, ready to go to dinner, decided, the heck with this. We just go on up and get in the car and lock the gate on our way out. And if they were in there and they had a vehicle in there, they'd be locked in. So it was after dark when we got home and we went with our headlights to check it out. And there wasn't anybody up there.

It was just so mystifying and so weird and creepy knowing that we were hearing things, people laughing and this and that. And there was only one way in and one way out and we had locked that way. So that was the beginning of a lot of very weird things happening. But the weirdest thing was the nights that we heard far off howling. And I always referred to it as the Hounds of the Baskerville because it was this God-awful, hair-raising, screaming weird stuff. but still we just thought

you know far off neighbor dogs that got out they're chasing around they're barking at whatever and howling it whatever that we never saw and it didn't go on like every night

like a dog in a neighborhood would see something and start parking or see nothing and bark anyway it happened occasionally and when it did it was just this screaming, awful, horrible thing. And I would say to my husband, well, I live in a murder mountain or something because it was just this nervous thing

about that happening out there. So we got so disturbed by all of this weirdness and this neighbor driving in and hiding out and swiped wood and stuff that we bought a little night vision camera and didn't tell anybody. We didn't tell anybody about it. So we, you know, we were blaming the neighbor for all this stuff.

We thought that we shouldn't just blame her. And we figured that some of the screaming down there that we thought was kids or a woman was probably a cougar screaming or a vixen, a female fox screaming because we weren't ever thinking we never once ever thought fixed it.

We just hadn't been following it. We, you know, years ago I heard about it, but we weren't following it. We weren't watching TV. We're too busy working. and it was about that time that we did run into finding Bigfoot people, the TV show, but we only got to kind of like look at it once in a while, and we still didn't cop the clue to this possibility of it being Bigfoot.

So we kept that camera at the front of the house and would watch. And the first thing that happened was a neighbor dog coming down and put its eyeball right up against the camera because it was on a tripod about two and a half feet off the ground. And we could see that. We had a 32-inch TV with that on there. And the next thing that we saw on there was a cougar's eye. And so we knew that we had a prowler and that it was a cool. cougar sniffing things out that

you know the cougar could have been making a screaming so we never like I say we never put it up to be in Bigfoot at all but there was a lot to do there with cleanup of the forest and

maintaining the areas and taking care of trash and they had a pit toilet that they had put in there and other there was other facilities there to be used too.

And we would take care of the roads and the ditches and all the touchups. And one night while we were sitting up at our place, we just got in the house from eating out on our deck. And we heard the pit toilet door just opening and slamming shut and opening and slamming shut and opening and slamming shut. So husband jumped in the side by side, went down to check it out. There was nothing there, nothing, nothing around.

He drove the whole area. Nobody and nothing was there. So that was, you know, beginning to make us wonder about, you know, having maybe homeless people coming in sneaking by the fences or whatever and maybe they were down there doing whatever. But it just never made any sense to us at all. The noises, there were children laughing.

We never found any children. In the night, we heard an eagle cry and it was like it was flying over. doing its eagle call. There's no eagle been calling in the middle of the night that I ever, ever heard. But, you know, and doing all of our chores and everything, we just started watching things. And we started watching tracks in the snow, and the first snow came. And sure enough, we were down near that pit toilet area, and we found found bipedal tracks or what looked bipedal in the snow.

So we go, huh, maybe there's something going on here. Suppose we have a big foot. But then I got the photos off of my phone and blew them up on the computer. And you could easily see it was a bear track. Because one track, one foot went in two. the other foot, making it look like a large footprint, one large footprint. So we just kind of worn the loggers and the crew to kind of keep things, food and things like that.

You know, any packaging, be sure to throw it away and not drawn. And it was a small bear. It was a very, very small little female bear. And she just kind of frizzed through. and it seemed that she just cruised on and we never saw any more of her tracks. We never, we saw her one time and we never saw her again.

And when spring rolled around, it seemed to bring interlopers. We caught, you know, walking out and, you know, out of the place early in the morning hours. like 4.30 in the morning. It was getting in a warm spring. We started finding these huts. They just looked like those folks

that made some kind of survivor, survival type of a place to sleep in and shoved a bunch of leaves in it. And they kind of, why we call them like, survival huts is because they kind of looked like a fish's backbone with the ribs touching the ground and it was not like rib bones and there would be one large thicker branch that would be up against the tree trunk and it the tip of it would be held together on the ground it would be kind of sticking kind of in the ground a little bit and held down. And then the smaller tree branches were propped up against it all along the way on each side.

So it just kind of looked like a fishbone type thing and they had stuffed a lot of leaves in it, stuffed it full of dried leaves. And you could tell that someone had been. been laying in it. So we just assumed that some of these folks were sneaking in and coming up there and we were, you know, finding those. Well, we took them all down because they were just kind of getting in the way of different things that were being done on the property.

and we no longer got them down and gone. And we started finding them again. And they were kind of scattered all throughout the forest. And one was very odd. It actually had a black plastic bag stuck up in it. And it didn't look. I can't say that it really looked human made. And others were full of,

like new fern boughs and new spring shoots and things like that made them smashed down. And it wasn't long after that. The spring just kept us really busy. And we could hear sounds of children playing and people talking and owls calling and sounds of eagles and everything. and there was no one in there. They couldn't be in there because they would have had to get past us.

So I would say out of a four-day span of the week in the week, we were smelling dead deer and dirty, stinky body odor and wet moss kind of smell and this and that. And it was, we just kind of, blow it off. It sounds weird for us to blow it off, but it was,

people were the concern. You know, for us, people were the concern, not dead deer, and that's what we still thought it was because we hadn't convinced ourselves that we could be having any other kind of visitor except humans that would come in and be messing around,

curious. I mean, we were down on the side by one day in the sun and we went to live by. And a man was laying on a rock in the sun. But he's armed in the air and waved at us. And just acted like he belonged there. So we went up and had a visit with him. And he really didn't have too much distilled. and we suggest that that he should probably be away from the forest.

We'll be back with more Bigfoot Society after these words from our sponsors. On this episode of Plant Killers, we'll explore one nation's most notorious fruit and vegetable killer, bad dirt. What makes bad dirt so bad? The answer? The ingredients. But fear not true crime enthusiasts. This story has a happy ending. Miracle grow organic raised bed and garden soil.

It said everything happens for a reason, but maybe everything happens for a reases. Take noise-canceling headphones. Do they block hearing to heightened taste? Hmm. That sound seems to show. Everything happens for a recess. Before Dark came, he was gone. We never thought anything more about him until we found a homeless camp down through past some of the locked property.

And by then, it seemed as though he had vacated it. So we just never thought about it. about that again. We continued doing our thing, cooking outside, smelling the smells. And it was a Saturday when my husband went,

he just headed out to check the undeveloped part of the forest, yellow our RV. And he was gone for hours. And I had become kind of nervous It was totally uneven ground, overgrown, very isolated, and I would not have been able to hear him calling out to me or even for him to get me on the telephone.

But soon he came back and conversed in through the door, just breathless and excited and kind of freak out all it one time and he had a photo he had photos of a footprint in the mud from a pond and it was a pond we had no idea was there we had never explored that that wasn't part of what anybody said that we were assigned to do so we just we just didn't we just kept our nose to the grindstone and did what we were told to do. So he had this footprint in the mud, but he was so excited that he didn't think

to put anything beside it for measurement. We kept that footprint. We looked at that footprint for the longest time and didn't know quite what to do with it. But the rest of the story is that He found a trail that went to a pond. We didn't know that pond was there. And how he saw it was all of these saplings were broke down,

just like someone had gone through like a tornado making the swaths through these young saplings. And they were all broke like six foot off and different heights like that, but all way up high. And he couldn't figure out what the foresters had done to get it that way. But of course, until he saw the footprint, he assumed that the foresters did it. And nobody ever said anything about it. We never talked to anybody about it. And on his way back, he said,

that he saw this cave style opening and some scrub brush. And decided to explore it a little bit. And he said inside of there was like a teepee structure. He said it was big enough that it would have taken men to build it. He said there was no way any kids or any young people like we had seen going in there could have ever built it. And he said the opening of the structure and the ground under it was frequently, showed it had been frequently used.

So, you know, just behind our house was a partially maintained game trail. And although we didn't recommend people use it, we know that we heard a cute occasional human-sounding feet going by it, like footsteps going by it. But we could never find anything. So we just assumed that maybe it was, you know, deer or something like that going through. But, you know, we didn't know what to do

with all this exciting information that he found. And then we started watching finding Bigfoot. And we saw a cliff on there. We saw all of them, of course. But Cliff was one that appealed to us. So we decided that perhaps we should try to get a hold of him. So we called what we saw at the tail end of the show and how they run all of the...

people that have been in it or they've been and so forth. We saw that there was a place that you could get a hold of finding Bigfoot producers or something like that. So we called and they were like, yeah, yeah, we want to hear from you and everything. and we talked to them, but we finally realized that we weren't really talking to finding Bigfoot people. We were talking to somebody else that had a radio station, a radio broadcast. And actually, it didn't really help us find out anything except hearing other people talk about it,

the subject and I think it made us more nervous about everything. We had, you know, times when it was perfectly normal and then other times it sounded like a bull crashing through the woods, we had trees being pushed over when there was no wind. They were falling. Whether they were pushed or not, I can't say, I shouldn't say push, but they were they were crashing around us and we would find trees across the road we would find saplings across the road we would have to move them and and so forth to clean up behind behind whatever was going on and I would you know I love photography I would go down down and around into the forest and take my dog with me and I would I never knew who might be down there. It just pays not to go alone. So I'd get the side by out.

We'd go down there and I'd shoot a lot of pictures. There was just tons of things to see and take pictures of. But yet my dog, my dog would get so nervous and she would start this low growl. If you look him behind us and nothing was over there. She would get so nervous some days that she'd start pulling my coat because she wanted to leave. So I just give in and get out of there and take her back. But one afternoon I went down into this really nice, beautiful place where there were lady slippers and different, really kind of exotic. It was a very magical place.

There was cricket by it that kind of had a deep gorge. There was a nice sound. It was just a beautiful place until it wasn't. That day, it just wasn't pretty anymore. And all of the hair on the back of my neck, everywhere on me just stood up. The smell was there. and the feel that I got, the deep feeling that I got inside of me

was just, it was just so paralyzing in such a weird way that I could hardly get the side by and reverse and get it turned around to get out of there and back onto the main road. And after that day, I could never go past

a certain point in that forest because it seemed like there was some type of mental thing that was stopping me and my husband could go through there fine but it seemed like I was stopped from going through there. And I always think back on it being because of my camera because during this time of the bear being in there,

the owner of the whole property decided to put a game camera in there. And I just wondered in my own heart of hearts, were Bigfoot, let's say, that's what it was, this is a Bigfoot, saw the infrared in my camera, and just linked it to the infrared eye on the game camera. That's the only thing I can think of for me to have done a misjustice to be stopped like a wall was right there and I couldn't go past it. But I didn't dare go past it and I felt the fright of it all. and that seems so weird to have to say this when I've never been afraid in the forest ever.

I lived in the forest my whole entire life in the wilderness, and I was never afraid, but this I was afraid of. So given that, I just respected it and went on about my business without going through that part of the forest. And it was that shortly after that, that we were in bed. And we had this god-awful screaming and howling in the undeveloped part of the forest right below our house. and this this Yale scream

was so incredible that you could feel the reverberation off of it like hitting like on the windows is what it

it's hard so hard to explain because it's like you feel it but it's not like like hit me on it, but it's like the air was kind of pushing through our open bedroom window. And it felt like it was like standing right out outside of there. And it was so gigantic.

We've heard a lot of now that we're now watching about Bigfoot. We've heard several howls that sound exactly like that. And at first we were like, you know, what the heck is that? And then it didn't happen again. It stopped. And it was quiet. There wasn't anything making any noises out there. And about two minutes later, I heard an answer.

And it was the same exact howl. And it was like sounded through. four canyons away, that it was loud enough that you could plainly hear that it was exactly the same thing like somebody else had answered the one that had just yelled outside of her house. So after that, we kind of just did our thing. We didn't try to make big issue out of it. We didn't try to go hunting for it. we just were minding our own business.

We had been, in the first days of being there, we had some apples and things that had kind of gone a little bit hinky, and we knew deer were there. So we set the apples out there and let the deer have them. And it only happened down again. We weren't trying to habituate anybody or anything. We were just not, I mean, the chipmunks or the slugs or whoever wanted it could have it. And then we started later on after the howling and things had happened.

I started finding things on my porch. There was a shard of, it wasn't China, it was stoneware with this very old-fashioned blue print on it. And there was a penny, and there were a couple rocks, and odd things, just odd things. We'll be back with more Bigfoot Society after these words from our sponsors.

Like this commercial break, did you need 15 seconds away for music or 15 seconds to eat or Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a Reese's. And the only reason I think that they had their hands on that type of thing is because years ago there had been a house on that property and it had gotten all pushed in and kind of over into that undeveloped area.

And honestly, we never were. went down there. The only thing I could assume is that those things were laying on the ground right there. And perhaps us not knowing what we were doing, we were actually trading for trinket or something with Bigfoot. And I just kept telling my husband and said, oh, look at this. carries are coming out of our garden and leaving us things on our porch because we just weren't we weren't willing to actually accept that any of this could be Bigfoot we're just like okay you know something really screamed really really loud like a siren and we're just going to keep on keeping on and not worry about it until we have to well until

2017 is when we knew we had to. And actually the screen was in 2017, too, about May, somewhere there. And in June, middle of June, we had been away and we were coming home. It was about 1130 at night. And it was just clear, could be quiet.

And we saw this weird weirdness almost to our house. It was probably 500 yards as the crow flies from our house. And all we could ever

express was this watery, this just weird, blurry watery type of movement and we kept saying it looked like the predator did you ever see the predator

and the only people we told at that time were our very best friends and we were scared they wouldn't believe us and we said look we saw this thing that looked like the predator when it went through the forest and it did until it came

out in the headlights and before it came out actually we saw a deer run across the road. And we saw this blurriness. And then we saw a big foot come out of the field. It took one giant step in the middle of the road. It turned at its waist.

And it looked at us in its eyes were giant red, like reflectors or coals or. And then it took another step. It slid on the margin of the bank to the ditch line and went on up past the corner fence of our neighbors into our neighbor's field and was just gone like a deer. But in that time, there was enough seconds there that you could see that it was kind of a reddish. color with like a blonde color down its back. And it had like dreadlocks. And it had like, what do they call that mutton, mutton chops, I think. Because what they call it, and then there are few sprigs of hair on that one cheek that we could clearly see.

And its hair was blonde, you know, it was like dreadlocks. and then its arms were, it had longish hair on its arms and everything. And it was just unbelievable how it just disappeared right after it looked at us. It was just gone. So we went back the next day after we did the skin pitch test all night, wondering what the heck if we'd really seen what we'd seen, we'd question ourselves. Sometimes we still question ourselves because it,

It was too unbelievable what we saw. But there were actual toe marks in the mud on the edge of the ditch line where it had, it dug in so deep that you could actually see the dampness in the dirt right there. And you could easily see that it was toe prints. And we went on up where we knew that it had gone to. and we weren't clear, you know, that it totally had gone by the corner of our neighbor's fence. We didn't know that until the next day when we went back up there. And we found two footprints in the grass of all things. Nobody would believe that you could see big foot footprints in the grass.

But honestly, it had hit there and was heavy enough, that it put a deep imprint into that grass. And so you could easily see right where it stepped twice. And then there were no more footprints to be found, whether it was gone into the old tree farm that was there or if it had to sprinted across the field. We don't know. But we got pictures of that.

unfortunately that those pictures were lost in the cell phone that we took it with and we never did get to recover them

my husband does a lot of construction work in those measurements and he said that it was easily close to nine feet tall this chest was very thick. We estimated

probably two, four foot, you know, across. And who could guess in the light of the car, headlights, how much it could have weighed. But it was

quite stealth. I mean, it was built really strong. It looked Like for me, looking at how shiny and nicest hair was, it looked like it wasn't a juvenile, but it wasn't old. And we just can't unsee what we saw. And we want to try to share our story as best we could with the listeners

because it's an important thing to think about if you believe that you have one in your yard or you believe you have one on your property, it just seems best to say that they can be very stealth. We know for fact that with all of the smell through the forest that we were constantly being monitored. Maybe there was one, maybe there were more. What were the children watching?

What was all the gibberish? Was it Chinese and Japanese people walking and hiking through there? With the crick running? Who could say that this is what we heard and experienced and we feel that if we were paralleled through all of the trails and if we were teased

at Christmas time like we believe now we were anybody could be grabbed at any time if that was the idea or could be the idea of something to be doing

especially when there's nobody else around. Just a couple nights ago, we were watching the one year remembrance of Carrie Arnold. We just happened to come across Hidden Existence. And there was a gentleman on there that said, you need to be aware of Bigfoot. because Bigfoot has one occupation and that is to survive. And to survive, he has to be a killer. He is not just eating grubs and roots.

That he is eating deer and other things. And that humans should be just as aware of the danger as any of the deer are. and that made a lot of sense because at any one time when we were busy with leaving the side by running we could have never heard them sneak up on us we never heard them when we knew they were there we would hear the whistles when we knew they were there when we were cooking

there was one whistle that was a constant whistle it sounded like a bird and I will whistle back to it thinking it was a bird and we just would go it would whistle I'd whistle and then

about I don't know a year two years after we moved away from there I told my husband I said you know the funny thing about that whistle and that bird he said yeah I said

did you ever notice that there were no other birds whistling that way? There was only it and me. There were no other birds that sounded that way. And we'd heard about so many whistles from people on all the different Bigfoot shows, but now we know that that's probably what it was. There's so many things that we were so naive about. We never thought about Bigfoot. we never watched the shows about Bigfoot

until we moved away from there and now it's been four years and we're still hearing people repeat things on Bigfoot podcasts and videos that we've said ourselves it's like listening to a recording of ourselves over and over and over

about the trauma about the spookiness the noises to take out calls to take eagle calls it's it's unbelievable

what what can come to you this this long and time later four years I think is a long time and we weren't we were

traumatized then but It seems like we're still traumatized from it because now we have dreams about it that we never had before. So it's good to kind of listen to what everybody has to say, share your words and their experience with other people. Someday we'll get to the bottom of this. someday we'll all know what it is and you know Scott Carpenter's in heaven now

he knows probably he's probably got his answers Jerry Aramins in heaven now too probably the only ones with the answers right now but we're all hoping to get there and we're all hoping to find out and find out in a scientific way without needing to take one of these creatures out. And I appreciate being on an invited on the show

to share my words and get my story out. Taya, thank you so much for sharing what you both experience. It's an incredible account. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about what you shared. I actually would love it because in trying to like not

get too long and drawn out on everything I have a journal and I kind of tried to do a synopsis of the highlights and the things that I thought people would be interested in hearing about you know

so if you can ask me questions that might really help to get more, more of the important things out. Yeah, just a few things that I'm kind of curious about. So when you had the sighting of the Bigfoot, were you able to get a really good look at its face then? Yeah. Yeah, it had, it had kind of a mud-colored face. You know, in the headlights, it was hard to tell if it was gray or if it was kind of a color similar to its hair color. We'll be back with more Bigfoot Society after these words from our sponsors.

Like this commercial break, did you need 15 seconds away for music? Or 15 seconds to eat or Reese's. Perhaps it's true.

Everything happens for arreases. Because the headlights were glowing right on its face, but it seemed like if it was daylight, it would probably be more towards the gray. It had very, a huge head, absolutely a huge head. And the eyes were spread quite full. far apart. And when I say they looked like coals,

they were big like that. They were big. And they glowed the globe this red is so weird how he kept saying, it's the eyes and I kept saying, trying to say, no, it's just

some reflectors down the road. And it wasn't. And I knew it wasn't, but it looked like very dark. grid and just kind of shined out like it just glowed from the center out getting like the orange color as it came out. And it had more of a, it had in the quick look we had, I would say it wasn't ugly at all. It had more like they had the really deep, the big brow ridge. And the eyes were going so big, you could, you know, see down onto its cheeks a bit.

But its mouth was just a slit. It just turned and it looked at us. It glared. It couldn't turn its head. Its neck was really thick. It couldn't turn its head. So as it was stepping, it was, you know, thrusting like the right arm. up and it turned at the waist with its, like its left arm was kind of behind it,

and it turned at the waist, looked at us for half a second or something, long enough. And it turned back, and it took its other step, slid, and was gone up into the darkness behind the tree trunks and into the field. and it wasn't you know i can't say it was necessarily pretty but i can't say that it was like something i mean i was in my car you know and it it didn't look like an ugly monster it just was a tall hairy creature with red blowing eyes that looked at us and kept on going and we think what happened is, I mean, we saw cloaking, or what now we assume is cloaking because of the words we heard, but it was like predator moving, and then it kept going, what is that? What is that? And this deer came out and went across the road,

and it came out behind it, and we think it made a mistake. And it just got caught in our headlights, which it wasn't expected to do, and then it turned and looked at us and left. So I don't know. Does that answer your question? Yeah, no, that definitely does. If you had to classify the creature, would you put it more into category of something that is ape-like or maybe something more human-like based on what you saw? Its face, when it turned its face like its nose and its cheekbones and stuff looked more human, not ape. And I don't recall that it had the sageal crest that it was dark behind it.

You know, we had the headlights on it. The hair would, like I said, it was long rock star-like in hair and away, and it was like dreadlocks, but the rest of the body was shiny and clean. Its arms were huge. Its thighs were huge. It's from like the foot up to the knee wasn't real long. It was the length of its height I think would have come from the hip to the knee. That's how it looked like it was built in the best that I can describe from

like I say, you know, in the headlights, that side of it was like really long from the hip down to the knee and the knee and the calves that knee from the knee down to the feet, which I couldn't really see the feet, but the calf of the leg I remember was like real like a rock or something, you know, and I suppose that's the. muscle flex from the running, but we just know what's, you know, kind of ingrained in our brain that it's something, like I said, we can't see it. It's there. It's always going to be there.

And a lot of the weird weirdness that happened was perfectly explainable once we saw it that night. Oh, absolutely. You said that you saw it to go over to the neighbor's property.

Did you ever go over and talk to the neighbors about it? No. We never talked to anybody about it. Sure. Because we were, because we saw something that our brains weren't ready to see, I think. And it was hard enough for us. I mean, we talked about it with ourselves over and over and over and over and trying to say, well, this was a reality.

Is this what we saw? And we kept going over and over it. And the only people that we ever shared it with for these four years until we went and saw Cliff, as you said, in the introduction, we didn't tell anybody because we didn't trust that we wouldn't be ridiculed. and given our professions and this and that, we really didn't want to put ourselves out there that way. And our friends have been our best friends for years,

so they believe this, and they're the only ones that we could ever really talk to, but we did get up enough courage to go over to go over to, the North American Bigfoot Museum when Cliff first got that going, it was when he was still breaking ground on the museum part that had his gift shop open. And they weren't really busy when we popped in that day. And we said, hey, you know, we don't want to bother you. We felt shy about it.

But he was there and he's the only one we knew. that had been out there researching and lived close enough to us that we could actually take our evidence to him and having looked at it. And he looked at the footprint in the mud and he could see that the break was there, everything was there. And he said, yes, absolutely. In his educated mind, he believed that that was a big friend. foot track and he liked it well enough to ask us if he could please have a print of it so that he could frame it to put it in his museum which is what we granted because we wanted to let people know because we lived close enough to Mount Hood and close enough to the National Forest and so forth

like that that, you know, people, you know, coming through anywhere in that part, they could see that footprint where it came from and so forth and have an idea that what's out there, you know. But we were very, we've been very, very secretive over our location because there's just too many people that want to find out and go where. they've been cited. And in our case, it wouldn't have been a healthy thing for anybody to do because, you know, you can't get in the mix with loggers and logging equipment and things like that.

It just wouldn't mix. So we've never disclosed the location. Our best friends knew because they know where we lived. But we just, we never had company. We were just out in the woods, you know. Absolutely. Her friends came over. Yeah.

So I just hope with all my hopes that people, if they see them, you know, don't try to chase them around and just try not to get traumatized by them. I think I have to say, you know, in the time after. after the fact. We left there in 2018. It was kind of the gig was up for doing the project that we've been

invited to be part of for everything we were doing. And so we, our gig was up and we moved on with our fifth wheel and

in 2020, we were caught up in the wildfires up there in the area up the Coughamas River. And so I kind of believe that the two traumas together kind of have magnified a little bit to how we feel about, you know, how we saw that that. the Bigfoot and then how we now are kind of having to deal with it and the fire thing. I think the fire just kind of crashed into what we were already dealing with, you know. But try to be realistic about everything. We're just working through it and listening to what we can find out. And we're sharing with you.

and we shared with Cliff and we feel like what we saw is what we saw but you're, you know, it doesn't matter. I'll tell you what, unless you're a courageous guy and you believe with all your heart, they're not going to hurt you.

If you see one, you're probably going to be doing the skin pinch test just like we are because it's still hard to believe that we saw it, you know? Absolutely. And it sounds, You get, I agree you have been through so much with with both situations, but I'm, it sounds like you are definitely starting to, to get a handle on what happened. And this is probably helping being able to, to talk about it as well. There was another thing that you mentioned really quickly. And you talked about how you heard people at certain points or what sounded like people. And at one point you said, it kind of sounded. It kind of sounded. like maybe a Chinese or Japanese language.

So whenever you heard people, did it kind of sound like a language type, like that type of language? Yeah, actually, actually there were a couple things that happened. I was down doing some photography, and which I totally love to do that if I had a day off from work. And it wasn't on the job there. I'd go down and get photography done and I was down there.

It was quiet. We'll be back with more Bigfoot Society after these words from our sponsors.

Take noise-canceling headphones.

Do they block hearing to heightened taste? That sound seems to show. Everything happens for a recess. Everything stopped making a noise. We had tree frogs and we had birds, everything. All of a sudden, everything went quiet and somebody goes, hey. Oh, my God. Where's that?

I looked all around, and there was nothing there, but my dog, who was my partner, was sitting there shivering, and like she was in an ice bath. And it creeped me out, too, so I thought, okay, well, maybe we just better wander on back up to our house. But yes, it sounded, we had, there was a creek there. And so it, and there were, you know, a lot of different foreign people would come visit. Friends, friends knew that that place would, they would,

allow when there weren't workers in there that they could walk through it or hike or whatever that if you were near the crypt you anybody speaking english or otherwise could sound really garbled and so i just assume that that's what it was but we heard at night at dusk just just before it's getting dark we could hear children playing down there we could hear them laughing we could go up onto this we were up on kind of a mountain and there was this knoll there that we could get on we could watch the sunset

and sound carries uphill and we could hear children down by the restrooms playing and giggling and laughing and we get the side by side out and go down there to chat to see what family was in there and there was never anybody there.

The same with the door to the privy. Slam, bang, slam, bang. And went down there to check. Nobody was there. Honest of goodness, nobody was there. I used to, I have kind of the sixth sense about things. And I used to feel like that was being watched, which a lot of people do.

you know but I would feel it particularly at night and it used to feel like one of them was just sitting out there under a tree beside the house and I know it could be my imagination but that was what I started feeling and then of course well my husband I never brought this up in this story but my husband we had three some trees that have been growing there because of that at their home that had been there. And they were ancient because that place was ancient. And he found these plum trees.

So he went out and cleaned up all around under him. And the next day he was going to go out and pick him. And this is to God's truth. When he got out there, there was not one plum left on any of those three trees, not one. He said, what was on the ground had ants on it. But there were no good ones left in the tree at all. And it was the weirdest thing. You know, it was just something that we still talk about,

how he prepared all of that to go pick the plums. And there wasn't one left. Clear to the top of the trees, which they're not real tall, but clear to the top of the trees, you know. And here in footfalls going past our house, you know, I'm thinking somebody's come in there and they're messing around. And then he heard noise out there and he went out the door. And I heard whatever it was take off.

It was going through the woods like crazy. You can feel it hit in the ground. And he came back in the house and I said, geez, I said, I'd never take you hunting unless I had your dog the deer for me because you made so much noise going through that brush that, you know, I can hear you all the way down to the road. So that wasn't me. He said that was whatever would have been in the road or in the yard ahead of me going through there.

So whatever that was, only God knows, we're not going to try to label it. But, you know, everybody says Bigfoot is quiet. maybe he is, maybe he isn't. Maybe he is part of the time and maybe if he gets scared, he makes a lot of noise running away, you know? Sure, yeah. But it, you know, it happened. It's just, it's just so, it's so mysterious and we keep saying why us.

I mean, we weren't, we had no idea. We had no clue at all. We were, I almost feel like I've had to tell this story back. instead of saying, geez, in 2017, we had this, you know, predator thing, and then this Bigfoot, the deer, chasing the deer and all this, and blah, blah, but no, you know, I feel like it's all backwards because how it started out and how we never one time ever thought of Bigfoot, not once. and like I said,

living in the wilderness like I did, I never, I never thought about Bigfoot at all. I mean, people were what you looked out for. You didn't look out for the animals. Usually they are afraid of you. They minded their business.

You minded yours and all that stuff, you know. And then later, since all of this, looking back on to my experiences there, I know that there was a big foot there too. And that makes me feel like I'm even crazier knowing that some of the noises and sounds I heard there were just exactly like what I've heard other people describe and heard the recordings that people have made, you know. And it's just, it's just weird, but it's my experience. and nothing happened to me

and I guess I'm richer for it that I had this experience of my husband and I had this experience and you know I went through all the things that some people go through like some people say well they're from

the Nephilim other people have other ideas you know about paranormal stuff I don't know what I want to think about it but at one point in my feelings about it I was just like rebuking it because I didn't know if it was evil or if it was alien like anybody says or if it was actual creature,

animal existence like Cliff and the researchers believe. There's all different thoughts on it. And I got to the point where it was kind of bugging me so much. I just said, go away. I didn't see you. I don't want to know about you. And my husband's not that way. I mean, he'll sit and watch fix it stuff and all that, you know. But, you know, I don't think that I've ever been conceited enough to think that we're the only thing human and animals are the only thing that exists in this world that we have odd things we're finding new animals new creatures and even hidden primitive peoples in different jungles of the world where they're discovering that there's these these natives that live there in their tribe and nobody ever saw them in their whole life you know so we would be remiss to think that we were uh had all the answers and we're the only you know hot shots on

this hurt i guess absolutely we need to be you know able to admit that there might be something else that we quite don't know about yet. And that's a good place to start. Yeah, it'll be exciting to, I mean, you know, we found hair and stuff like that, but we never put it up to anything more than getting, we never thought Bigfoot, no way, shape, or form, you know, nothing.
