Bigfoot Society - A Former Deputy Shares His Ongoing Encounters in Shelton, Washington With Sasquatch

Episode Date: March 18, 2026

In this episode, we delve into the experiences of Doug, a former paramedic and deputy sheriff whose life has taken him from the rural backroads of southern Illinois to the mountains and timberlands of... Washington State. Now living deep in the forests outside Shelton in Mason County, Doug shares a series of events that began quietly and have grown increasingly difficult to ignore.Doug describes strange environmental changes around his remote property—wildlife suddenly falling silent, trees twisted and pushed over along logging roads, and large rocks appearing where they hadn’t been before. Long before his recent sighting, there were other moments that caught his attention: unusual sounds in the woods late at night, odd structures in the trees, and a powerful musky odor drifting in from nearby forests.Everything shifted when Doug noticed something moving through the trees near the highway not far from his home. What he saw walking away into the forest forced him to reconsider years of strange occurrences across multiple states.Doug carefully recounts the details of what he has witnessed, along with the patterns he has begun to notice in the wilderness surrounding his home. His story offers a rare glimpse into what it can feel like to live in the middle of an area where activity seems to be building.Join us as we explore Doug’s experiences in the forests of western Washington and the growing mystery unfolding in the woods near Shelton.🗣️ Share Your StoryHad a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?Send it to bigfootsociety@gmail.com – your story might be featured on the show!🎥 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube🔴 Subscribe here → Bigfoot Society YouTube💬 Leave a comment & let us know your thoughts!📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → Speakpipe (Use multiple voicemails if needed)👥 Share this episode → Watch & Share🎧 More episodes → Podcast Playlist🌲 Recommended: New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters💥 Support the Show & Get Perks✅ Join the community on Supercast – Become a Member✅ Listen ad-free & early on YouTube – Join Here📱 Let’s ConnectInstagram: @bigfootsocietyTwitter: @bigfoot_societyTikTok: @bigfoot.society🧰 Tools & Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)These help support the show at no extra cost to you:Beam (Better Sleep): Try BeamWildgrain (Better Bread): Join HereSeed (Probiotics): Get SeedMedi-Share (Healthcare): Learn MoreLMNT (Electrolytes) Free Sample Pack with your first purchase! : Get LMNTOrganic and non-GMO groceries delivered for lesshttp://thrv.me/uarEhS🎙️ Podcasting Tools:Repurpose.io: Try ItDescript: Sign UpStreamyard: Start RecordingRiverside.fm: Try Riverside🎧 My Audio Interface: View on Amazon☕ Buy Me a Coffee – Support Here🛍️ Grab Some Merch – Shop on Etsy📬 Mailing Address:Bigfoot Society125 E 1st St. #233Earlham, IA 50072

In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first-hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible from backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers

These are the voices of the people who've lived it. So settle in because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us. All right.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Welcome back to another episode of the Bigfoot Society podcast. I have the privilege of talking to Doug today. Welcome to the show, sir. How are you doing today? John Wells. A little bit of background that Doug has provided. He was a paramedic in East Tennessee, also a deputy sheriff over there as well.
Starting point is 00:02:25 He's currently in Washington State working with, with the Washington military in some forms and fashions. And we might hear more about Doug's background as well as we go along. But, you know, Doug, how are things going out there in the West Coast where you're at? Oh, they're actually going pretty well. The weather is calm down and things have quieted down around here. You mentioned something off air that I found interesting, which is, so you've experienced a lot of things. And you said it kind of feels like things have followed you around as you've gone from one side of the country to the other.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Is that right? Yes, yes. As you mentioned, I started my EMS career in Southern Illinois, and it's pretty remote, very rural area. as a kid I've seen some things that I didn't associate with back then. You didn't hear anything about Sasquatch or Bigfoot or anything in the 70s and 80s.
Starting point is 00:03:44 So then we moved to Tennessee and things started picking up and I heard stories from some of the locals there in East Tennessee, especially when you had a response time on the ambulance or the sheriff's department of two hours in the county. So these people, there are not as social as they are here, right? Especially here in Washington, it's very urban area out there.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Scott County is one of the most remote counties in the state, but has more road miles than any county. So people don't call the email, us, don't call the sheriff's department too much. And when you do, they're very clickish. so they don't want to speak. But once you get there and get a rapport, then they start telling you things. And so things that go on all over the United States. And most of my experience is out here in Washington, but there's probably been things in East Tennessee that I've seen that I just didn't associate with that it's been forgotten over the years over the last 30 years. But things have really opened my eyes when I got here to Washington.
Starting point is 00:04:51 I was just looking up Scott County, Tennessee. and it is definitely over there in a pretty wild area. I mean, you've got Big South Fork and it's just north of Catusa in Frozen Head. Frozen Head is a very, very intense nature area with a lot of weirdness that goes on in there for sure. There's a lot of remote territory there that nobody goes to. Just to double check. So when you were working as a paramedic or, or sorry, deputy sheriff over there, do you remember any specific calls or hearing anything where people were talking about Bigfoot or anything weird like that? I know some of the full-time deputies. Of course, most of the time I worked on the ambulance and I was a part-time deputy.
Starting point is 00:05:46 So most of my time was on the ambulance. But yeah, some of the full-time deputies would tell stories of something. There was a lady called and something was looking in her window. There was one that his animals were killed. Don't know what it was. There was no tracks or whatever it was had to be large to kill their cows and their sheep. So those are stories I heard there. and, you know, back then I didn't know anything about it, didn't have any really experience that I could actually relate to, you know, and point to, hey, that's what that is.
Starting point is 00:06:26 I've learned things now that I could say, you know, probably, but, so we just dismissed it like everybody else did at the time, you know, it's, you know, it's nothing. It's got to be something else. Somebody did it rather than, you know, they're playing pranks or they're getting even or whatever. And most of the time, the people there in East Tennessee didn't call the Sheriff's Department. But there were a few incidents that I didn't respond to personally, but I know other officers to get. And then, you know, of course, that's something serious. It's like it's kind of a joke out here in Iowa where I'm at. When a farmer goes to the hospital, you know it's serious because they usually can take care of themselves, right?
Starting point is 00:07:09 Or they want to take care of themselves. So it sounds like when you made the move out to Washington, that's when, your eyes started to really get open as to there's something going on out here. Yeah. For example, I worked for a company, we build boats, and that was what got me out here to Washington. And a guy come to help me work on one of my vehicles. And we started, he started pointing things out in the yard. I had a tree behind the mode part of the yard.
Starting point is 00:07:49 We was renting a house out on Key Peninsula. So it was pretty remote. We had neighbors, but, and there was a tree about, I would say it's about 60 feet tall. And about 40 feet up, there were two limbs that stuck off parallel to each other, right? Or crossways, right? They were exact opposites of the tree. And it was about 10 inches in diameter at the base. or 12.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Two smaller trees, about six or eight inches in diameter, were crossed. So the tree on the right was stuck under the broke off branch on the left and vice versa. So the trees were crossed and hooked under those branches. And I don't know anybody that could pull a four-inch diameter tree down like that and bend them over and hook them under those broke-off limbs. and while the gentleman was there, we started walking the property and the neighbor's dogs had been barking and everything just went quiet. And we had an old concrete deer setting in the front yard that was the landlords
Starting point is 00:09:03 and that we got around the front. We was around back looking at that and he was pointing out various other things. and the deer head had was broke off. Something had broke the deer head off. And we got up next to the house and we found an impression in the grass. It was probably, I don't know, 17, 18 inches long and six or seven inches wide in the grass, in the broad daylight. And so he started telling us and he said, Doug, I think you've got Bigfoot activity out here. And so we were talking going around the back before he got to the footprint.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Because once we got seeing the impression, I'm not going to say it's a footprint, but that's what shape it was. And the impression in the front yard, he got it in his vehicle and left. But walking around the property, he started talking about this. And I thought, you know, I used to smoke. And I would come home. I work second shift. I get home about 2.30 in the morning.
Starting point is 00:10:02 And I'd sit out on the back porch. And we had a nice back porch. I'd sit on the back porch and smoke. And I heard a belch, not 15 feet to my left in the woods. Now, I had neighbors, but they were elderly neighbors, and they went to bed really early. And I don't know anything that belches but hominids, right? People upright. Bears don't belch.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Cougars don't belch. Raccoons don't belch. And I just kind of looked over and didn't. And I thought, I'm just hearing things, right? So it did it again. And so I kind of joked, you want me to get you, Tom's? And then I got to thinking, nothing belches but us. And that was, you could just tell by the sound, it wasn't a human.
Starting point is 00:10:56 It was much bigger. And I just went in the house. My wife finally, we moved here from southern Illinois, and my wife moved. I was out here nine months by myself. and then my wife came out. So she moved there to the Key Peninsula with me. And I went to put the trash can out. It was late at night, about 10, 11 o'clock at night.
Starting point is 00:11:19 And we're always up late because I work second shift. And I came back and I had the flashlight. And I shined it over in the side yard towards the direction of where I heard that belch. And I've seen two grayish blue eyes reflecting or like. lighting up. And they were about nine feet in the air. And then they disappeared behind the tree. There was a huge tree right there.
Starting point is 00:11:47 And I stopped and looked, and I couldn't see anything. So it's like, okay, it's time just to go in the house. And it was about, I don't know, four or five weeks later that my friend came out. And we started looking around. And when he seen the deer had broke off and that imprint in the grass, he was. ass. He was done. He left. And he had been telling me that he had just seen one, a Bigfoot, on his way home the year before. He has a friend that lives out there, and he was out of it. And so it was about two miles from our house that he passed it. It was walking alongside the road.
Starting point is 00:12:25 And he said he had never been so scared. He was just glad it didn't step out front of him. And he got out of there as fast as he could. So when he found that deerhead broke and the impression in yard. He was done. He was out of there and I haven't spoke to him since. He has never, never been back. My goodness. So he was totally scared. Whatever he's seen on the road scared him bad enough that he didn't want, and he'd lived here all his life. He laid on the Key Peninsula all his life. So. Doug, this is some wild stuff. I want to provide commentary for a minute about the area for listeners who are just listening to the audio. the key peninsula is smack dab in the middle of a lot of bigfoot activity you've got
Starting point is 00:13:13 so it's it's north of places like fort louis it's uh south of places like um um bell fair is pretty active from what i've heard also i mean you've got to the east uh you've got Gig Harbor over there, but more specifically, I want to point out, is directly to its west, you've got Harsstein Island, which has had some really intense documented activity over the years at the, let's see, Gerald Cove State Park up in the north. And then there's some other things if you look up. And actually, I've talked to an individual about activity on Squawkson Island as well on. So, I'm not too far from squawks and island now. I don't believe so. I don't believe I'm too far from it. But yeah, I was about five or six miles from home, Washington. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:14:20 So, and that's where just south of there on a road is where my friend had seen one walking alongside the road. So since then, I started out, I lived in Olympia, Lacey area in an apartment and moved out to the Key Peninsula. And then from there, we moved to Enemclaw and then to Tacoma. And then so then we moved to Yelm, which is a more rural area. We lived south of Yelm. And didn't think anymore. about it. And then one week we started in the spring, we started getting a stench rolling in. There was a big wooded area just to the south of us, and a big stench would roll in. And it smelled
Starting point is 00:15:14 like a musky garbage heap. Well, that's odd. And it would go away and it would come back. And so one afternoon, me and the wife were out in the yard. And just, just directly across the street from us was a, there was a section of woods about 10 feet deep off the road. We were on a busy intersection. And then the guy had, the neighborhood just bought it and he had cleared the rest of it. But there was about 10 feet by, I would say, 100 feet of woods along the road at the edge of his property on the western edge of his property. And a rock came flying out of there. and he wasn't home.
Starting point is 00:16:01 He has no kids. There's nobody there. The place is all fenced up and locked off. But a rock came flying out of there. And it's like, who would be throwing rocks? And the stench there at the time was horrendous. So we didn't venture out of the yard. You know, that's his property.
Starting point is 00:16:20 We didn't think anything about it. But I know he works during the day and he's single and has no kids. So there should have been nobody there and it was all locked up. but something was throwing rocks out of that. And we didn't see anything. You couldn't see anything over there, but the brush and stuff was pretty thick. But something was throwing rocks at us out of that woods. And so we decided it was time to go in.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Our back motion light would go off in the middle of night, and I would go out and look, and there would be nothing there. But then again, our back, the back part of the property was full of blackberries and trees. It was pretty thick. So it's not unusual not to see anything in that. There's plenty of places for anything or anybody to go hide. But never heard anything, never seen anything. We had cameras set up sometimes that we never did get a glimpse at anything.
Starting point is 00:17:20 And then that lasted about two weeks, and the extension, all that activity was gone. And it came back a month or two later and stayed for a few days. And then we never seen anything else. I had noticed, though, that in the area, when the stench arrived, right, there was a pond across the road to the north of us.

Starting point is 00:20:31 Plan B made over-the-counter emergency contraception legal more than 20 years ago. It's a safe, effective backup birth control option that helps prevent pregnancy before it starts by temporarily delaying ovulation. Plan B is the number one OB-GYN recommended brand and the only one that you can find at all major retailers in all 50 U.S. states.
Starting point is 00:20:50 There's no minimum age requirement and you don't need an ID to buy it. You can order it through DoorDash and other major delivery platforms too. That's freedom to be. Use as directed. And tons of frogs. It's extremely loud in the springtime with frogs at night, right? And when this stench rolled in and things started happening, dead quiet. And that's what happened. It was a 4th of July in 2016, actually, on the Key Peninsula.
Starting point is 00:21:20 that I was standing out smoking a cigarette again, and all the tree frogs were gone, and all the crickets, and all the night noises, dogs barking. And all of a sudden, it just went dead quiet. You heard nothing, and you never heard anything ever again. And that's when I noticed about three days later that the trees were crossed over, and it was about four months later that my friend came, but there still wasn't any animal sounds.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Never barked again. Nothing made a sound. It was like they were afraid to make a sound. There was nothing made a sound out there ever. And so Yelm was like that. And then after the stench went away, then the frogs came back. And I'm finding the same thing. So we left Yelm and we bought a place here last February out here west of Shelton.
Starting point is 00:22:18 and we're in the timberland, right? The timber company. So we have no neighbors. We're out here by herself. We're a mile off the paved road. And we started noticing trees pushed over. And the first thing we noticed is a tree about eight inches in diameter, six inches at the break about 10 feet tall.
Starting point is 00:22:43 So it's a six inch diameter tree at the spot that it was just broke over. away from the road. And I thought, okay, so maybe a piece of equipment because it is a logging road. There was no tire tracks. I got out and looked. There was no piece of equipment. There was nothing had pulled up there
Starting point is 00:23:01 and broke that tree off. There was no tracks of any kind. And then I started paying attention. There's old trees that had just been pushed over, right? And I thought, okay, maybe it's the wind. But when the trees are three feet apart and they're that dense, the wind's going to push over more than one tree.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Right? And so then we started noticing as spring came, no frogs. There was nothing. You didn't hear anything. When we first got there, spring started, you could hear tree frogs at the gate, but we'd hear nothing at the house. And then we started noticing more trees pushed over,
Starting point is 00:23:43 and we haven't heard any sound, especially at the road gate for over a year. Well, about one year exactly. Now at home at the house, you would hear tree frogs occasionally. There's a wetland to our south, a creek to our north. But all winter long, there was nothing.
Starting point is 00:24:14 And then I thought, okay, it's just the cold, right? Frogs don't like the cold, right? But then the other day, it was 28 degrees, and that's the coldest had been in the area all winter. Tree frogs out. And I noticed that when you don't hear the tree frogs, you don't see any animals or deer or rabbits,
Starting point is 00:24:35 they don't cross the road, they don't come through the yard. They're gone. I started hearing tree frogs. We see rabbits cross the road. We see deer cross the road. We see tracks in the yard. seen a bear track in our in our driveway the other day. But then the tree frogs are going.
Starting point is 00:24:55 And when when you don't hear the tree frogs, there's no animals moving anywhere. It's like it's, they're all been run off. And then you start seeing a tree at the gate that had been ripped off. And they dug a hole to keep ATVs from going around the gate. and that whatever broke that off through that the top party in that hole on top of piece of debris
Starting point is 00:25:25 that one of the loggers or whatever it left in there. And next to it is a bush that's got limbs that are or an old tree they've cut down or whatever and it's started to grow back in multiple places. They're about two, two and a half inches
Starting point is 00:25:41 in diameter and they're just twisted off and broke off. And you can tell they're not completely broke off. They're still attached, but they're dead and broke off. And you can tell it's just been twisted. So, yeah, there's, and I seen the February 15th coming up 101. I was coming home from work at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Listen to a podcast, and music makes me sleepy.
Starting point is 00:26:08 So I listened to audio books or podcasts or whatever. And so I was listening to a podcast. and I just happened to glance over to my left. And so when I did, I had to take a double look. I seen what I thought was a Bigfoot Sasquatcher, walking away from the highway about 50 yards off the highway. And I shoot bows a lot. So I can judge distances pretty well.
Starting point is 00:26:40 So I can say with all confidence it was about 50 yards, 55 yards, off. the highway. And it was walking away. And so I tried to rationalize. It was a stump. It was a shadow. But stumps and shadows don't swing their arms. And that's what caught my attention was the movement of walking away.
Starting point is 00:27:00 And when I looked back over my shoulder, I could see the right arm swing back. So the next day, me and the wife came home about the same time. And so we slowed down, started looking, all right, are there any stumps? any shadows anything's going to cast something that would prove that this wasn't what what i thought i saw and uh there's nothing out there it's just a nice clean woods right that's been planted uh the brush is not growing up there's no there are stumps but nothing that tall or nothing that would show that kind of shape so i know what i saw and it was moving and it was walking up right on two legs this happened within the past year around shelton
Starting point is 00:27:44 Washington. Yes. Yet all this activity that, you know, from the, from the time we moved to Shelton in February of 2025 until here, and it continues to happen. They cut down trees along the road to keep it clear, right? And all these, when we first moved in, we're all off the road. They were all pushed back in the trees. And it's a tree about four inches in diameter at the base, and it's probably about 10 feet long. It's not in the road, but it's thrown out into the edge of the road. The last few weeks, probably three weeks, I say the last week we started hearing frogs again. So it's probably about two weeks before that.
Starting point is 00:28:33 I started noticing it's a dirt road with the rock on it. The rocks, they call them washing potatoes out here because they just come up out of the ground. and these are about the size of both my fists that will end up in the middle of the road. And they weren't there before, and there are a lot of them all along there. They just, like, something's throwing them out in the road. Can't say for sure. But I leave at around 4.4.30 in the morning to go to work, and you don't see them on the road.
Starting point is 00:29:08 When you come back, they're in the road. Or vice versa, right? you come back in the evening from work and there's none in the road and then you leave in the morning and you can see these big rocks in the road. I just find it extremely interesting that all these rocks
Starting point is 00:29:29 one or two, I could explain a way as they're working their way up out of the ground and you drive over them and it pops them out. But 15 or 20 and I pick them up and throw them off, side of the road and they'll be back. It's definitely some weirdness going around. And then you combine that with you actually had, you know, that siting.
Starting point is 00:29:52 And do you have an approximate date for when this sighting happened? Yes, I know exactly when. It was 2015. It was February 15th, Saturday, February 15th at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. 2026, that's right. So within, really within the last three weeks. Wow. Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:26 What would you estimate the height of it was from what you saw? Nine to ten feet. From the distance of 50 yards, it would have been, had to been about nine or ten feet tall. And so I come home and I, I talk to my wife and it's like, I don't know if I really seen it. and she's able to describe it, so I did. And so I know what I've seen. And so I was looking through pictures, and I've seen photographs of a Sasquatch walking away.
Starting point is 00:31:04 It was on a hill in the snow, and it was from three-quarter view from the left side, and you can see the left arm swing back. And that's exactly what I've seen from the opposite side. So I would have seen it from the right side looking over my left side. shoulder. So I have no doubt that that's what I seen. I was kind of questioning it.
Starting point is 00:31:26 And then as I was looking through photographs or videos of other podcasts and yours, and I come across this picture, and it was the exact shape and movement that I seen. So I have no doubt that's what it was. And what really convinced me is I know I've seen the arm movement. And I could say, okay, it was a shadow or something. I'm even seeing the picture. But shadows and stumps don't swing their arms. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Remind me approximately how far away from your house property this sighting was again? It's probably two miles as the crow flies, six miles up around the road. And it was headed towards the house. Two miles away going towards the house. you've also seen weird rock placement you've got broken trees and and weirdly placed trees
Starting point is 00:32:28 and you said that you're seeing stuff that looks like it's twisted like broken twisted did you say that yeah yeah that's up by the gate fresh break is about eight feet off
Starting point is 00:32:45 nine feet off the ground and just to the left, as you're looking at it, to the left of it is, it might be a, I think what it is, is where they've logged off the tree and it started coming up from the roots. So you have different tree branches coming up, right? Different young saplings coming up. And they're about two, two and a half inches in diameter. And they're broke off at a 90-degree angle, which you can tell they were twisted and broke off. Because it's not a clean, in EMS we call it green stick fracture, right?
Starting point is 00:33:15 where it peels off and you have the part of it still sticking up. It's just twisted. You can tell they just twisted it off. It was green when they did it. It was twisted and broke off. And there's three of these on this group of sabblings growing up out of the stump. So it doesn't really sound like you have any neighbors around your area. No, no.
Starting point is 00:33:42 The nearest neighbor is up at the hard road in about a quarter of a mile down. So we're a mile off the hard road. So there's no way. Okay. So there's no anywhere you could be like, hey, you know, you experiencing weird stuff too? I mean, that guy would be too far down the road. Yeah, there's people that access the road from farther past our house, a couple miles past our house. And they ride up and down the road on their motorcycle, their off-road motorcycle or their ATV or whatever.
Starting point is 00:34:16 but how they're getting on, I don't know. They're a couple miles away from us, and they're coming across a timber company property to get to access that road. So the timber company does come back in that area to cut, right? It is an active working forest, so they do come back there and cut on occasion, but nothing around us.
Starting point is 00:34:41 So that's why I'm saying, there's no equipment coming back there. they're not coming with a road grater or anything to drag this tree out in the road, or they're not maintaining the roads. So nobody's bringing any heavy equipment in that could break off these trees or push them over. So some of them are back three, four, five feet off the road, and you can, as you can see, that they're just pushed over. So we went to last September, September of 2025.
Starting point is 00:35:14 the last road out on the left is a cut, cutaway back into the woods. And we don't know how far it went. We took our pickup truck down there.

On this episode of plant killers, we'll explore one nation's most notorious fruit and vegetable killer, bad dirt. What makes bad dirt
Starting point is 00:37:01 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's made with quality organic ingredients from upcycled green waste like compost and aged bark. Unlike the other guys who can't say the same, looks like bad dirt's murdering days are over. Thanks to Miracle Grow. Join us next time on plant killers. Plan B made over-the-counter emergency contraception legal more than 20 years ago. It's a safe, effective backup birth control option that helps prevent pregnancy before it starts by temporarily delaying ovulation.
Starting point is 00:37:36 Plan B is the number one OBGYN-R recommended brand and the only one that you can find at all major retailers in all 50 U.S. states. There's no minimum age requirement and you don't need an ID to buy it. You can order it through DoorDash and other major delivery platforms too. That's freedom to be. Use as directed. And there are two trees pushed over across the road so that are, I'm saying 12 inches at the base, that are pushed over in the road. to block the road off. But they're pushed over.
Starting point is 00:38:10 And there's other trees right there. A lot of other trees right there that if it was a wind blowing through there, my wife said, well, it got pushed over. They pushed it over with a bulldozer. Well, there's no tracks of the bulldozers. There's no way a bulldozer can get back there. There's nothing there. They're still green because part of the stump is still in the dirt where they pushed it over.
Starting point is 00:38:32 And that's a heavy area for the ATVs to ride. And it was the first time we went down there. And I don't know where it goes because the trees were blocking the road. We couldn't go across there. If you were on a mini bike, you could, or something, you know, you could go around to drive over the very tips of them. But we wouldn't get across it in a pickup truck. Trees were just too big. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:55 So, oh, man, I got a few questions. What would you say the closest to the house you've noticed activity or? stuff that's weird has been happening. So, um, closest to the house at the, the end of the driveway comes into the, to the logging road. And right at the end of the driveway, these,
Starting point is 00:39:21 I said, there are several big rocks, you know, like I said, big as two of my fists, uh, in the road. And, and they weren't there three weeks ago. And when I, I came back home one day that there they are. Um, nothing has happened on the property that I know. of. We got scratches on the back of our barn about high level. And a friend came out and said that that's what we thought too was that it was a mountain line.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Now, we got chickens, nothing ever eats the chickens. Whatever is there is not bothering us. And actually, we kind of think that it's keeping other things from bothering us. Because all along the back of the garage, it's a 10-sided. there's scratches in every panel all the way down. And so a friend of mine said that it was a mountain line. We've never found tracks. I put up trail cameras, never caught anything on the trail cameras ever.
Starting point is 00:40:22 But the scratches, like I said, they're at eye level, and I'm 5'9, 510. And so they're at my eye level all the way down side there. That is unusual, but I can chalk it up to maybe a mountain line. I don't know what else would do it, but in the, north end of the barn there's a gouge and it goes horizontally it wasn't
Starting point is 00:40:44 none of these were there when we moved in we got chickens or they always go around behind the barn so we're always back behind the barn all the time and we just started noticing this stuff there's a gout where something had stuck a claw or something a knife I don't know in the side of the barn and ripped about
Starting point is 00:41:01 a foot long gash in the side of the aluminum I don't know what would have done it. I don't, we don't have, it was never there before. Like I said, we just bought it in February. And so we looked, when we got there, we looked all over. So, looked over everything and all this stuff is new stuff.
Starting point is 00:41:25 But the, the strangest things we noticed was probably less, it's a mile to the hard road, right? So maybe two-tenths of a mile is where, from the house, from the driveway is where we've seen that big tree. broke off at the top about 10 feet high. And that's what opened our eyes to say, hey, something's out here that, and it was a fresh break, something's out here that's doing this,
Starting point is 00:41:50 and then we started noticing the old trees that had been pushed over, and then a lot of new trees. And it's just a continuing thing. But nothing at the house. I've seen big and we have a small, real tiny river rock all around the front of the house, and I've seen impressions there. but I've seen prints for a mountain line there too.
Starting point is 00:42:16 So I don't know what it is. There's nothing definite, right? It's just a large impression. I'm not going to speculate to what it could be. But we go outside. We don't feel any, you know, we're not afraid to go outside. It's not like there's any threat out there to us. We're in the hot tub a lot.
Starting point is 00:42:45 okay and nothing has ever bothered the house or the property that we know of so man this is a really really interesting one so was it February 26 or earlier that you purchased the property it was February 2025 okay it was on Valentine's Day that we purchased the property in 2025 and it was it was early summer that we started noticing all this stuff early last summer like June, July, that we, when we noticed that big tree broke over and then we started noticing more trees. And then just, it's not every day, but at least once a month you see a new tree pushed over, you know, rocks in the road that, you know, if it was one or two, like I said,
Starting point is 00:43:42 I could justify it or I could explain it away as us driving over it would kick. up or work up a rock, you know. But not 20 or 30 all along the road. You know, it's just, and we don't have, like I said, there's a mini bike or an ATV that comes through there occasionally, but mostly it's just me and my wife that are driving in and out. So occasionally the game warden comes through there. You know, the logging company will check it rarely, but, you know, the logging company will
Starting point is 00:44:15 checking rarely, but mostly it's just me and my wife coming in and out of the road. Has your wife experienced anything weird? I would imagine there's times when you're off at work and she's on the property by herself, correct? Yes, yes. No, she hasn't reported to me that anything in that regards. There's been some instances that, you know, somebody was shooting out there, way too close to the house or something like that. But no, she hasn't reported anything to me. And she goes out most of the time, feeds the chickens. A lot of the time, especially in the wintertime, we get home after dark.
Starting point is 00:45:03 And she'll go out there and feed the chickens. And like I said, we leave the chickens out a lot of times, and not overnight, but during the day. And it's just a small chicken coop with a small run. It's just a wire. So anything that wanted to get that big would want to get to the chickens could have. But there's, like I said, there's no indication other than the scratches on the side of the barn of anything even attempting to disturb anything. So my daughter's been out there. She's not reported anything.
Starting point is 00:45:40 She lives in Aberdeen, but she's. She comes out occasionally and watches the place where we're gone, and she's not reported anything. It's just me and my wife, we'll be driving to or from work, and she'll say, hey, is that tree new? Or is that, it said, yeah, that's new. You know, I watch for things that are, that change, that are different, that aren't, there are out of place. The nature of my job, you know, that's just training, you know, or habits, right? You notice things that shouldn't be there or, or out of place. place. They're on. They're different. They're wrong.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Absolutely. Have you looked to see if there have been sightings in the past or interactions with Bigfoot in the area that you're at now? Yes. I did do a little bit of research here
Starting point is 00:46:32 right before as I come across your podcast. And it seems like this area has been pretty heavy. Panhandle Lake, there's been a lot around Panhandle Lake, up at Hoodsport is north of us. And there's a lot of stuff around there.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Of course, we're right at the foot of the Cascade Mountains. We see the Cascain, or not the Cascain Mountains, but the Olympic Mountains on the way home. So we're right at the foothills, I guess, of that, because we're surrounded by, I wouldn't call mountains, but tall hills. In Illinois, in Southern Illinois, they call the mountains, but around here, they're just small hills down. So, yeah, there has definitely been some sightings because we're the last residents on that road, on that hard road, for miles. And there's nothing but timber company land out there, nothing.
Starting point is 00:47:34 And so. Oh, my goodness. It just, it feels like you are about to, I just, I just, I just, I just got a weird feeling. It feels like you're about to experience some really interesting. I mean, you already are experiencing interesting stuff. But, I mean, I'm just taking in consideration. Like, I know that the snowpack is really down this year. And so, unfortunately, there's, my guess is probably going to be some fires up where you're at.
Starting point is 00:48:07 I know Lake Cushman got hit really hard last year. And the most activity I've experienced. down in Oregon have been when there was there was a fire that was nearby down the Willamette. And man, I just, I'm wondering like if if there's some fires that kick up in your area and then it starts moving around and like, I'm just like, man, what kind of activity could come, come out of nowhere for you guys? Well, you know, it could. I think a lot of these, there, I, I, I, I, speculations.
Starting point is 00:48:44 to myself, right? That when we lived in Yale, there was nothing there, and then there was, and then nothing. They're nomadic. They go where the food is, you know,
Starting point is 00:48:53 and I, for whatever reason, it seemed like they wintered over here. But if there is fires and things, that a great possibility that the interactivity is going to go up, you know, people are going to have more interactions,
Starting point is 00:49:09 especially us being out where we are. And it seems the, then in my case, I've heard on your podcast and others that, you know, people are more susceptible to this. And it seems like it's increasing. It's more intensive now since I'm out here. And it just seems like it's continuing to grow. Because I never had a sight. He never had a siting until three weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:49:38 never had the type activity you know they keep an insula a little bit there you know very little at at Yale but out here it seems like it's growing in intensity so I think I'm going to start having more and more activity
Starting point is 00:49:55 yeah and it's like it feels like in the more that you start noticing stuff and kind of putting your intention onto it I think that kind of it has something to do with it too.
Starting point is 00:50:10 But it'll be interesting. I mean, I would say, you know, please keep, keep us in the loop with if you continue to notice things like, I can't even imagine what's going to go on in that property around October. I know. Yeah. Well, we do notice after you come off the logging road onto the driveway, we got a big rock. and we found some pieces of metal laying up there that weren't there before. So a rusty nut and a flat plate with a hole in it is like, is this a, did the previous owners never said anything about it?
Starting point is 00:50:48 Of course, they wanted to sell the place. But did they use that as a kifting rock or, you know, yeah, I don't know. So we're going to try something and see if we get a response. Now, I will say that, I got a sling for Christmas, a balleric sling, like David and Goliath sling. And I was slinging into the trees behind the house. And you find rounded stones, and they fly the best, right?
Starting point is 00:51:18 The flat ones don't. And then after that, I found rocks in the driveway from where I was throwing these things from, that they were coming back out of the trees and into the driveway. And that was about a month and a half ago that I was. throwing them out there. And right after Christmas anyway, January, middle of January, I guess. And now I'm finding rocks in the driveway that weren't there before. We got a gravel driveway.
Starting point is 00:51:51 And so it's sharp edge, right? They're not good for slinging with the round rocks, which are plentiful out here, but not in the driveway. And now I'm finding in the driveway. So some of those rocks are coming back out of the woods. Yeah, definitely. So you're saying that you, are contemplating setting up maybe some kind of gifting situation? Yeah, I don't know if that's a good idea, but we thought about it.
Starting point is 00:52:18 It's down at the end of the driveway. We've got a gate at the end of the driveway, and it's on the other side of the gate. Yeah, and it's rocks, and I guess it's about a foot and a half. It's almost like a rounded cube of foot and a half by foot and a half, I would guesstimate. And these pieces of metal were laying on top. And so, and they weren't there before. We walk down the road, you know, so we go down the driveway.
Starting point is 00:52:42 We walk past this rock all the time. So we just found them this week. Wow. We're going to, we're going to try it. Let me put some plums out or something. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 00:52:56 And see what, see what happens. I had set some rocks out on a stump. The previous owner carved a stump into the shape of like a mushroom. them. And I'd put some, laid some rocks out there. And a couple weeks later, they forgot about them. And then it's like, oh, what are those rocks are? Well, they're gone. I don't know. Maybe a squirrel or a bird got up there and knocked them off. And I don't know. But anyway, they're gone. They were on the stump over by where the woods were. I was slinging the rocks. And so, and this was last summer that I stuck them up there just to, you know, put them up there.
Starting point is 00:53:36 I don't know. This is Ashlyn Harris from Wide Open with Aschlin Harris. All right, quick switch, because I want to tell you about one of our favorite sponsors, Vital Proteins. But I can't really talk about vital proteins without talking about collagen first.

And yeah, they're gone. So I'm going to try the gifting rock thing. Yeah, it'd be interesting.
Starting point is 00:57:02 You know, you're saying like plums or apples and they put a few of those up there and see what the reaction or response is, you know, if they're taken or a certain number taken. So how do you guys feel living in a potential situation like this? Are you feeling a certain way towards stuff that you're starting to experience? curiosity more than anything. Like I said, I don't feel fear. I don't have a problem walking out in the property, going up to the chicken house, going to my shop, whatever. You know, there's a lot of times that I'll need something out of the shop to fix something at the house,
Starting point is 00:57:49 especially in the wintertime. It's dark, right, in the evenings. We never felt any fear. We don't feel like we're in any threat of anything. So right now it's just curiosity to see what would, what's going to come down. Can I ask what your religious background is? Yeah, absolutely. I'm a Christian.
Starting point is 00:58:14 Yeah. Yeah. Raised into church. I got away from it for a while, but now I am, yeah, I see the way of the world. so I am full gospel Holy Roland that's awesome
Starting point is 00:58:33 freaking Jesus that's great that's me the most so I've been in this for four or five years and I would say
Starting point is 00:58:46 for people that start to get into this subject and start to experience activity one of the One of the best pieces of advice I can give is to figure out what you put your trust in and make sure that you are actively trusting in that during this time. Because stuff can really start to happen. And it can get really weird. But, you know, if you're, the name of Jesus is very strong and, you know, there's nothing.
Starting point is 00:59:25 more powerful than Jesus Christ for sure. So I think as long as you're able to keep that in mind, which you definitely are, I think that's one of the most important things. But it can get very interesting. Well, other things in our life have strengthened our faith. We had a little ultra-light airplane as a little tubular steel two-place thing, right? And we thought it was going to be a ministry. The colors were red, black and white, you know, black for the sin, washed by the blood,
Starting point is 01:00:05 and left us white as snow. And so we were going to try to use that. And we always said, if it doesn't work out, we'll praise him anyway. And it didn't work out it, but it crashed. The runway was rough, and it stuck the elevator in the up position, and I couldn't get it on. So I just slam it on the ground, and I ended up wrapping it around a railroad. rope tie.
Starting point is 01:00:25 They had sticking in the ground to tie back a hangar door. And it just folded that little airplane around it. But we praise him anyway. So we found this place then. And we wanted a place with a landing strip on our flat land. You know, so we can make a landing strip. And it didn't work out. But our faith is just getting stronger.
Starting point is 01:00:47 And so, yeah, that's where we put our faith in our trust. That's great. Thank goodness. it's Doug this is really really interesting one just because it's always it always gets me like there's when I talk to someone where you can feel they're right in the middle of it they're right in the middle of it right before things are gonna either they're either just be flatlined or they're gonna like really ramp up like you you know it's kind of like you're going up a roller coaster you have that weird feeling um it it's I don't feel it in in every
Starting point is 01:01:25 interview where I'm talking to, but sometimes you can just like tell you can be like, oh, man, yeah, it is like right there. It's very, very, very strange. But, yeah, so I want to make sure that you're, you know, able to share all the things that you've experienced so far in this area out in Shelton. Yeah. If there's any other people that have experienced this stuff that you've had interviews with that want to contact me that are close by.
Starting point is 01:02:02 Yeah, feel free to give them my information and maybe pass notes across to see what things go. Absolutely. And so your email is, oh, that's the wrong. Hold on. Hold on. Different Doug. So your email that you provided, that's something I can put in the description of the episode so people can reach out to you with that. Okay, gotcha. Sure. That hot meal one. So I'll, so guys, look at the description and then email Doug directly because I get so many emails that is really hard to keep up with them. So your best bet is to contact Doug directly.

And definitely keep us in the loop with what can take you. continues to happen the rest of the year. But thanks for hanging out today. Oh, hey, thank you. Thank you for inviting me. And I have a resource that I can go to, look at other podcasts, which I've done to learn more about this to see maybe there's things that are happening that I'm missing that I didn't know that was part of the behavior or part of the ritual or whatever, whatever you want to call the things that they're doing that I'm just overlooking. So I'm going to continue to study and research. And I'll let you know if anything else comes
Starting point is 01:03:28 That's awesome. Great to talk to you today, Doug. Thank you. Well, thank you and have a great day.

Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners.
