Special thank you to Jerry for coming on the show. And if you have situations that have happened in the same area, please reach out to me at Bigfoot Society at gmail.com. Now let's get on with the show. All right, Bigfoot Society. I've got the privilege of talking to Jerry today. He reached out to me about some interesting things that he's been experiencing in his area down in Georgia
Starting point is 00:02:32 over the years. I'm really excited to hear what he has to share tonight. So Jerry, I'm going to go ahead and turn it over to you and we'll start going down this road. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Let it begin. This goes back. The first thing that ever happened to me was probably about 19. This is a property south of Rome about 30 miles where Polk County and Harrison County border. It's a property
Starting point is 00:03:01 that's been in my family for a long time. It's got a lake on it and had a little, tiny little cabin on it years ago. Back then, this area was very, very rural. No phone, well water. I mean, it was very, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:17 well, now it's not so much because people built houses around the so it's not like it was, but still very good at it. We were having a fish fry out there one summer, and again, I was probably around five years old. I think my memory there was probably nine or ten people there, us kids and some adults and parents and everything. And, of course, it was just a little old metal trailers all the place to us, but I had a screened in front porch. And, of course, the doors were open because it was summer, but it was, you know, pretty pleasant
Starting point is 00:03:51 night. And I was inside the kitchen area with my mother. And those old-timey tradeways, you can remember, this one was like 10 feet wide. It was very small. But it had those crank-out windows where the glass was like loitered. You know, the pieces of glass were like maybe four inches. And they would kind of stacked and they would flip out. You know what I'm talking about? Yep, yep. Okay. That's the kind of window this was right there at the end of the little den area. So on the far end, it was probably, I looked at it not too many years ago. I think it was like four feet wide and maybe three feet high. Well, I don't know why I looked over there.
Starting point is 00:04:31 All the lights were on and right there in the bottom left corner of that window. And there was black outside. It wasn't a street. It was just blackness. There was two set, a pair, two red eyes looking right at me. and I instantly said in to scream and I can remember this
Starting point is 00:04:50 just like it was yesterday and everybody came in and see what was going on and of course I being a child that young you're pointing and crying and everything and of course nobody saw it but me
Starting point is 00:05:02 and I can still see it to this state I know what I saw it was there but I couldn't see any kind of outline of a head or anything like it was just those two red eyes and they were
Starting point is 00:05:13 it wasn't a bright red like it light It was more of a deeper red. And, of course, my dad, he was, oh, come on, let me show. There's nothing out there. And he picked me up, and he was going to walk me outside into that darkness. And I was terrified. And he did.
Starting point is 00:05:29 And, of course, I buried my face in his shoulder, and there wasn't anything there. But I have never forgotten that as long as I've lived. But at that same property, like I said, it's got a lake on it and a whole lot of woods around it. Dad used to stay out there sometimes by itself and fall of year. and deer hunt or taking fishing trip in the spring or whatever. And he was always talking about hearing a wildcat screaming
Starting point is 00:05:54 down around the spillway area of the dam. There's different parts out there. And he said that over the years time and time again, you know, and I've been out there my entire life and I've never ever heard that. So I don't, I mean, I've heard people say
Starting point is 00:06:10 they do scream like that, but it was always strange to me that I never heard but he said they did. Later on about the, I don't say this was a mid-seventh, maybe around 19-7, my older brother was staying out there by himself. And the very same cabin I just told you about
Starting point is 00:06:28 what I saw the eyes. And he was, it was a night, he was in a rocking chair on that front porch. I think he was, you know, just enjoying being alone as a teenager. And I had the lights on in the kitchen area, he's listening to some music,
Starting point is 00:06:41 just enjoying it. And he said it sounded like some, somebody just on the backside of that metal trailer, somebody just slapped it really hard, just one time. And all this kind of stuff was like that was before any kind of Bigfoot shows came on TV or anything. So you didn't hear about stuff like that until, you know, years later we'd get talking about it. Of course, what I saw when I was a kid. So just strange things like that from, you know, back in the 70s. You know, Jerry, real quick before we go.
Starting point is 00:07:14 go past it, thinking back to those red eyes that you saw, do you remember how far apart those were? Looking back, and like I said, even though that has been about 55 years ago, well, I'm not 55, but it's been over 50 years since it happened, I would easily say four inches. Okay. That's how vivid it is in my imagination. And from where I was to where that wall and that glass was, was probably about eight feet. so I was pretty close to it.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Like I said, I didn't see any kind of facial features, the outline of the head, just those eyes. Because it seemed like maybe they were not right up against the glass, but maybe I pulled back like a foot away or so. But they were there. I saw it. I mean, I thought about it and thought about it in my whole life. It was there.
Starting point is 00:08:07 It was nothing in the kitchen that, you know, had those kind of lights. I mean, they were there. And so you're saying that those eyes right outside the window, how high up would those have been? Is that what you're saying when you said eight feet? Well, no, from where I was standing in the kitchen next to my mother, to when I turned around and looked, it was about eight feet. Okay. Now, I did go back to that place years later, and I took some rough measurements to what, from the ground, to where those eyes, where I estimated they would have been, it was about three and a half.
Starting point is 00:08:42 feet off the ground. Interesting. But there was any, it was so far out, I mean, there wasn't any kind of stray dogs or anything like that out there. We didn't have a dog. So, you know, it wasn't anything, you know, like that. We were out there that whole weekend. I think there had been a stray dog around.
Starting point is 00:09:00 We had seen it long before then. Yeah, it almost makes you wonder if it was a big foot. Maybe it was more of a juvenile than if it was, you know, that. You know, not very high off the ground, but still, I mean, that far apart for the eyes, that's interesting. It was something I will never forget. I've kind of written everything down because there was so much, I will forget your thing. It has kind of happened over the years. Years later, the next oddest thing that happened to me was this was when I was about 20,
Starting point is 00:09:38 and I was married, and my wife was pregnant at the time. and this was late fall of that year. And my dad was getting close to retirement at that time. So he was actually living out there, but it was at a different, it was another cabin right up from the first one I just told you about. And it was one of those calls the time of the year when it was really, really cold. I think that night we were not to visit with him.
Starting point is 00:10:06 It was between like 25 degrees. It was really cold for some reason. But anyway, we hadn't, it was early evening, but it's already dark. And, of course, her belly was, you know, sticking out from being pregnant. She had about, I think, two months to go before, she gave birth to my daughter. But anyway, we hadn't had supper or anything. And we hadn't been sick. And we were just, it was already dark outside.
Starting point is 00:10:31 And the lights on in the cabin visit with my dad. When all of a sudden, I felt like I was burning slapped up. and some of the worst case of nausea I've ever felt in my life. And all this just came out of nowhere.
