And now 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, we were never, actually, 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, there, 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, you know, always be. distracted from our job with Tio Cash and Poceman folks. And, you know, they dropped by, you know, if 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 our, 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 for us, 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. It's a 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? 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. I'd driven a farm things and a four-wheeler and things like that. that, you know, had to be adventurous.

So we decided to take our first trip to the forest, not realizing that it was dusk up there, or not quite dusk, but when you get into the forest, it's like a lot darker. So we're going, sneaking down this kind of, you know, logging road thing down this hill. And it's getting dark.

And we had the lights on, but I thought, well, geez, these aren't bright enough. So I reached down 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 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 was just you know a wonderful beautiful place to be it after or rain, it smelled like, it smelled like Christmas trees. It was so clean and beautiful in there. If you want something done right, you do it yourself. That's why you change your own oil. You wouldn't trust your engine to just anybody.

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 Reese's.

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'd instead in to be kind of a cateo so that, and we would cook out there every night. And within a few days, we experienced odd noises, whistles 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 common fast and you know as the coyotes seem to quit calling and being around that all came out and it became out and it 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. And it just seemed like it was, you know, getting busier and busier with the animals outside.

We would just sit out there and cook outdoors. Below us, 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. 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 running first smell that he ever smelled. And for me, since it was a forest, it had all the animals of birds and a person would expect that perhaps there would be a predator in there

and leaves 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 daylight side-by-side ride through miles of roads and trails, we came upon a wrap of fresh-filled deer bones in the road. It looked like it been boned out by a hunter, like a hunter's bounty.

But one thing was wrong. It just wasn't how it laid there. Was it right? It could have been dragged by a coyote. because it found it that it was boned out but not and it wasn't a complete carcass it was boned out but not and it wasn't a complete carcass it was boned 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 it's it's one 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 party 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'd get past that build, and they had this little truck that 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. 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, it's 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'd 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'd 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.

Or 15 seconds to eat or Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a recesses. 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 neighbor. 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, we live in a murder mountain or something because it was just this nervous thing of 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, Big So 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 Big Sit 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 a 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 cougar sniffing things out. That, you know, the cougar could have been making the screaming. So we never, like I said, we never put it up to do. and Bigfoot at all. But there was a lot to do there with cleanup of the forest and maintaining the areas and taking care of, you know, 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, you know, all the touch-ups. 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 there, sneaking by the fences or whatever. And maybe they were down there doing whatever.

but it just 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 and 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 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 into the other foot, making it look like a large footprint, one large footprint. So we just kind of worn the lagers 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 cruised 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, it was getting, you know, warm spring. we started finding these huts. They just looked like those folks

had 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 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 fishbowl, a fish bone 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 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,

it blow it off it sounds weird for us to blow it off that 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 arm 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 to say. and we suggested that he should probably be away from the forest before dark came. He was gone. We never thought anything more about him until we found a homeless camp down through pass some of the locked property. And by then it seemed as though he had vacated it.

So we just never thought 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, below 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 conversing through the, the door just breathless and excited and kind of freak it out all at 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 that we were assigned to do. So 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. And 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, like, 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 footpring he assumed that the foresters did it and nobody ever saw it said anything about it. We never

talked to anybody about it. 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 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 occasional human sounding feet going by it, like

footsteps going by it. But we could never find anything, so we just assume 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 Cliff on there. We saw all of them, of course. But Cliff was the one that appealed to us. So we decided that perhaps we should try to get a hold of him. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. If you want something done right, you do it yourself.

It said everything happens for a reason, but maybe everything happens for a recess. Take noise-canceling headphones. Do they block hearing to heightened taste? Hmm. That sound seems to show. Everything happens for a recess. So we called what we saw on a lot. 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 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 so forth to clean up behind whatever was going on. And I would, you know, I love photography. I would go down and around into the forest and take my dog with me. 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. And be looking behind us and nothing was ever there. She would get so nervous some days that she'd start pulling them and come.

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 a creek 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 the Bigfoot let's say that's what it was 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, like, 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 reverber. 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 hit me out 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 anything. really was out there. And about two minutes later, I heard answer. And it was the same exact howl. And it was like sounded three or four canyons away. But 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 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 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 the Bigfoot. And I just kept telling my husband and said, oh, look at this. Ceres 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, in 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 11.30 at night. And it was just clear as could be quiet.

And we saw this 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 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 You 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 bluriness. And then we saw a big flick 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 and its eyes were giant red like reflectors or coals 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 chops I think because what they call it and then those 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 God 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 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.

They say everything happens for a reason, but I suspect everything happens for a Reese's. 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 Reese's. 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, but 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 was there if it had to sprinted across the field. We don't know. But we got pictures of that. Unfortunately, those pictures were lost in the cell phone that we took it with. And we never did get to recover. 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 three, 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 a creek running? Who could say? but 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 him 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'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 the 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 and noises. The take out calls. It take eagle calls.

It's unbelievable what can come to you this long and time later. Four years, I think, is a long time. And we were, like, 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 Terry Aramon's 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 there 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, and the headlights, it was hard to tell if it was gray because the headlights were glowing right on its face. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

But it seemed like it'd be, 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 far apart. And when I say they looked like coals, they were big like that. They were big, and they glowed. They glow this red. It's 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 red 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, it wasn't ugly at all. It had more like, it 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 it. 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 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 expecting 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 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 this. a little crest, but 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 in there 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 kind of 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. 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 the North American Bigfoot Museum when Cliff first got that going And it was when he was still breaking ground on the museum apartment, it 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 had 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 foot track and he liked it well enough to ask

just that 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. 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 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 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. 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 wasn't on the job there. I'd go down and get photography done.

And I was down there. It was quiet. 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, 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 on to 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. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. If you want something done right, you do it yourself.

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 plum trees that have been growing there because of that other 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 church 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, cleared to the top of the trees, which they're not real tall,

but cleared to the top of the trees, you know? And her in footfalls going past our house, you know, and 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 had 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

get 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 backwards instead of say, 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, 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 a big foot, not once. and like I said, living in the wilderness like I did,

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 Bigfoot 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. 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, you know, 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 natives that live there in their tribe.

And that's why I stayed away from most of the Facebook pages, because I hear all kinds of things that... If you want something done right, you do it yourself. That's why you change your own oil.
