Bigfoot Society - A Northern Wisconsin Landowner Describes The Creature Watching Him Build In The Woods

Episode Date: March 24, 2026

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experience of Jack from Wisconsin, a combat veteran who purchased a piece of remote land in the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest with plans of slowly building his future retirement property. While spending time alone in the woods working on small projects and learning the land, Jack began noticing things that didn’t quite add up. One night, a powerful roar echoed through the forest near his campsite, leaving him unsettled and searching for answers.As the months passed and he continued developing the property, something in the woods seemed to be paying close attention to his work. What first appeared to be nothing more than a strange dark stump near some deadfall slowly revealed itself to be something very different. Jack describes the moment he realized he was being watched, along with the details of what he observed looking back at him from the trees.He also shares unusual details about the property itself, including curious tree formations in the surrounding woods and the possibility that certain sounds he was making while building may have drawn something closer to investigate. Jack’s account offers a grounded and thoughtful look at what it feels like when a lifelong skeptic suddenly finds himself questioning what might be living deep in the forests of northern Wisconsin.Join us as we explore Jack’s experience in the Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest and the lingering questions that remain about what might still be watching from the woods.🗣️ Share Your StoryHad a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?Send it to [e-mail] – 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

So stay with us. All right, Bigfoot Society. You've got the privilege of talking to Jack today. Jack is an individual I got connected to and a little bit of background information for Jack. He's a 22-year combat infantry vet. Thank you for your service to our country, Jack. Thank you.

We've got some really interesting things to go over today that Jack has experienced. I'll let him share the detail. for that but Jack is there anything else that we would need to know about you for context before we get into things no I'm just a ordinary guy that had quite the quite the experience that's pretty much it absolutely and and it's just the wildest thing where this phenomenon keeps happening to people that are just ordinary people you can really think

of any profession, and there have been individuals in that profession that have had encounters. Jack, feel free to take us back to when you first started realizing that you were having an experience that was out of the ordinary regarding this. Okay. Well, I kind of start out with, you know, for years, I've put away money to buy a piece of land to retire on, and I decided to buy a piece of land out in Wisconsin. and in a Chickamauga, Nicolay National Forest in Wisconsin. And so after I was pretty excited, I was able to get this piece of land in such an area

that I brought, you know, I didn't have anything. I didn't have any camping gear or any of that stuff. And my grandmother years ago told me, if you feel like you're being watched, you probably are. Anyway, so I going up there and I took the car, and I slept in the car that night just because I wanted to be there. And I always had this feeling the whole time that I was being watched. It was kind of weird. Didn't think nothing of it, but that little feeling saved me in Iraq a couple times.

Anyways, I went back again. This time I had a little pop-up trailer. Second time I ever put it together. And one of the nights I was kind of sleeping, it was the first night. And I noticed that the, The door was open to the pop-up. I obviously had to get up. It was kind of cold.

And I heard this roar. And I, I, I, but I'm not scared of anything, but that scared me. Man only scares me. Or man doesn't scare me. God scares me. This thing terrified me. And it was probably, I'm guessing, 50, 75 meters away from where this sound was. And it was a roar that I just.

couldn't get out of my head. And I didn't think anything of it after that. The very first thing I said when that happened was, is what was that? Just like everybody else said as far as I can understand on all the videos. So anyways, I didn't think nothing of it and kind of made jokes about it and everything. And I'm one of those guys that, you know, I totally dissed people that believed in Bigfoot or anything like that. I think it was a bobo, the squatcher or something. I kind of was like poo-poot it, whatever.

I thought it was a joke. Anyways. So I did some mess in kind of investigating. I was trying to, I went on YouTube and I was looking for all the sounds in that area that any kind of creatures would make. And I couldn't find anything. And I even talked to some guys at work and they're, oh, that's probably coyotes. And no, I know what a coyote sounds like. Anyway, so it was about three hours listening to audios for different creatures.

And finally, I looked up Bigfoot sounds. And I found one that was almost identical, but not quite identical. And it was the top five Bigfoot sounds. It was the fourth one, and it was this as a long howl. Except for the howl that I heard was extremely loud, sounded mean. and at the end of the how it was kind of sounded like it was frustrated, if that makes any sense. So, but I didn't think of any of that.

So I just kind of went down, whatever. I didn't even think about it then. And so anyway, so that was one year. And then the following year, I think this was two years ago. I, no, it was it two years ago. It was last year. And I was putting together a privy in Outhouse. and I kind of was just after it goes because I want to live on this thing

and I got to have a place to do my thing to build. Anyways, so I was just kind of scanning the woods and I'm kind of on an old Indian path. This is kind of an extra. It's an Indian path. It was crazy. It's how the trees are bent over and then they kind of grow up. And it's kind of an old Indian marketer about well over 100-some-odd years old.

My brother pointed out most of them. I just saw two and he just looked at it. Anyways, going back to that. So there's a water, there's a water access on my land there. Well, I just kind of scanned the woods a little bit and just took a little break from building the privy. And I saw a black image kind of behind some deadfall. And I looked closely at it. I wasn't sure.

It looked like a stump, a black stump with strange bark on it. And I just thought, well, maybe that's just disease. Maybe it's just rotting. Didn't think anything of it after that until then I was thinking, wait a minute. Later on, I kind of got on some videos because now my interest is peaked. And after, you know, I just carried on with that and didn't think anything of it. And then went back, I would say it was about June of last year, June or July. And I thought, as I was building, I was building an outdoor shower at this point.

And I took a little stop and I thought, wow, maybe I should go over and take a look at that black stump just to make sure, you know, and I looked over in that area and that black stump had moved on the other side of the deadfall. That's when I, and it was still kind of behind some brush, but not much of a brush. and I thought that thing moved and I looked closer at it and I kept looking closer at it and when I saw an eyeball

and I saw two eyes looking this is the process how it happened I saw it would be the left eye and then I saw the right eye and they were it was clear as day and then I saw the reflection off a cheek and it was black

it was a black skin and then they started all coming together and it looked like a stump. It looked young. I don't know if it was a female or a male, but it was kind of sitting on its haunches a little bit on its heels, just watching me. That's what it was doing. It was watching me build.

And I took a good look at this thing. And I always told these guys before this happened, I said, yeah, if I see a big foot, I'll just wave at it, you know? Well, I looked and I made sure. I was made sure what I was looking at. before I moved away, not looking at it. And sure, it was incredible. And I reached down for my phone in my pocket really fast to get a picture,

and lo and behold, my phone isn't there. It's on the table about 20, 30 feet away. And I thought, okay, this thing, by the time I move, it's going to get up and move. While I grabbed my phone, and I figured this out, my whole actions, I think I was in shock. because of my following actions. And I grabbed the phone and I zoomed to where this black image was

and I just started hitting the button as fast as I could. And I was just kind of hoped something that would come out out of that. And what I should have done is not zoom and just started taking pictures now that I see all the pictures. And I just thought, and it was towards the end of the day where I needed to get pack everything up and head home because I had so much time and had to get going. Well, I just thought, okay, I'm going to take pictures of this thing, and I'm going to continue on, and I'm not going to scare it because I think I figured out how to draw it in.

So I didn't want to provoke it or let it know that I saw it. So after that, I kind of just packed up my things, and I left. And then I kind of started watching more videos, going over more videos, and it was like, wait a minute. you can honestly see, you know, you can tell who's actually seen one and who hasn't. You know, and you can, and it's just in the end, their videos. And then you see some of the videos where it's obvious, it's fake. And then there's something that's obvious that this is something. Unfortunately, my photos, it's kind of the closest one I got, the clearest one I got,

is you can, it's kind of a slightly blurry image where you can see the cheekbone and you can see the eye socket and one eye, but it's not clear. So I can't even, I won't even post that. But I figured out how I drew it in because it happened twice. And when I was using it, I was using an impact branch or impact drill where it would make a weird click sound

at the end of the drill. And I did hundreds of those, and I think that's why it came in to basically sit back and watch me build this these things, things. And so I can't wait to get back there this year and try it out and see, you know, see if I can draw them back out and this time get a better picture. It's not much of a story, but that's my story. And I think that's an incredible account. My goodness, I do definitely have some

questions for you. Yeah, shoot them, please. So you're, you're looking at it. It's sitting on its haunches. It looks like a black stump at first. How tall would you say that black stump type object? It's hard for me to determine how tall it was because it was the distance. The distance I would say was probably 50 meters. And I would say, this is just the guess. I would say if it was sitting on its hotches, I'd say it was probably about six foot tall from sitting on its hodches,

but I'm not absolutely positive. I got to go out to that tree and market. And because it was bison trees. I could mark it and see about where it was sitting on its haunches. Okay. Gotcha. 50 meters is about the length of, I think, two tennis courts. Yeah.

Yeah. It wasn't very far away at all. You know, and that's, honestly, it was about 40 to 50 meters away from me. And like I said, I think I was in shock because I could have, I should. I should have just sat there and just started taking pictures of it because the eyes were clear as day. It was amazing. I've never, ever have thought that I would be one of them people that saw a Bigfoot in my entire life. So anyways, yeah, that's kind of my, you know, I've just been doing research and now I've been, you know,

looking for organizations to go to, to speak to other people and see what they've found. And I've kind of burnt out on the videos. I just want to speak to some humans. But actually, who actually have seen this and experienced this with me because I feel alone. You know,

there's nobody really to talk to except for my wife. And she doesn't think I'm crazy at all. Which that's a plus. Yes, I thanked her for not, I thanked her for not, you know, not berating me. Right. Yeah.

But yeah, so she's very supportive, and I told her, I said, you watch, I'll try to draw it in. I warn her. It says, if you see it, please don't run and don't scream, don't do anything. How long do you think time-wise you were able to see it there in front of you? If I was able to, I probably could have sat there. if I had time, I could have sat there a whole time and waited for it to get up and walk

away. I mean, it was clean as day. Like I said, I didn't want to spook it and not come back. So that was kind of my thinking, but there was so many things going through my head when that happened. I wasn't sure

how to make a clear decision if I should just make sure if I got proof of this. But my thought process was, well, once I take pictures of this and then look at the pictures, then I can absolutely be absolutely positive that this is not, I'm not crazy. Right. Oh, yeah.

Well, and the picture show, you know, because it kind of, you can kind of see when I walked away, it turned its head. So I got a photo of it on the kind of a side, just a little bit of an angle of the face. So I zoomed in too closely and pretty much. Gotcha. Yeah. So the actual, the actual amount of time that you did. that you were able to have eyes on? Would you say it was like a minute, less than a minute?

Oh, what I actually had eyes on was about about maybe a minute and a half, two minutes. Wow. Because I just had to convince myself that I was seeing what I was seeing, because make sure I was convinced of what I was seeing. And I was absolutely positive of what I saw, but I needed photos to confirm this and be able to show someone. look, I'm not crazy. This is what I saw. Well, it's, again, blurry photo. So, you know, I don't speak to anybody really about it. I told a couple of family members, but that's about it. And my wife. And again, I guess there's a Bigfoot Society meeting or something like that in October and something in Wisconsin. That's where I'll be, I'll be heading there. Oh, cool. Yeah. So it's got to be some kind of Bigfoot conference, I would, I would imagine.

there that's pretty cool have to look into that do you remember any details about the the eyes themselves the eyes yes oh yeah geez um it's gonna it's gonna sound kind of weird but uh the eyes you can see all the white all the way around the eyes because when i was looking at it it was looking at me like it was surprised that i noticed it that was the expression on its face does that make any sense. Yeah. So you could tell it was surprised. How could you tell it was surprised by the eyes itself?

Because the eyes were so wide. Okay. They were wide open. I could see white all the way around. Interesting. Yeah. And the nose, the nose was kind of a, how would you say? It was like a regular nose, but it was flat.

It wasn't an eighth nose. It was a human nose, but flatter. If that makes any sense. The skin was black. I could see the sun reflect off its cheekbone. That's how I was able to put it all together once I had the eyes and then I hit the cheekbone. And you can see the fore. I saw the forehead.

There wasn't any reflection out the forehead. But you can see there was no skin on the forehead. The mouth was kind of, I didn't really get a glimpse at the mouth because I was so fixiated. it on the eyes. Because, I mean, when something's looking back at you like that, it's, okay, what are you going to do? So, yeah, that's about what I have. You know, like I said, it was sitting on its hotches.

Arms were kind of on its knees, and it looked like a big black stump with weird bark on it. And it was lumpy. That was the other one. it was lumpy. That was the first time I noticed it was lumpy. I'm like, well, that's some weird, that's a weird looking tree and bark. It's kind of lumpy and it had weird black bark on it.

And then again, the last time it was lumpy, black bark with eyeballs. Wow. Yeah. The eyes, did they have a certain color to them? You know, you guys, I see these old red eyes or all that. No, it was just regular eyes. This was an ape. This was a forest ape, the best way I can describe it.

I mean, you would have to be that big to be able to take on the wilderness, you know, bears and moose and all that. But no, there was no red eyes. There was no green eyes. It was just, I couldn't tell you the color of the eyes. I know they were black. But if I got closer, you could probably see. I'm guessed they were probably brown.

I don't know. Gotcha. Did you notice if they were, if the one eye was far away from the other one, or were they close in proximity? They weren't far away. They were kind of like a normal face. They weren't very far apart. They were just kind of a normal looking, you know, normal. They were putting in the right place.

I mean, it wasn't oddly together or oddly separated. It was just, you know, a normal face. But it was, it was not, I guess it was, it wasn't a human face. Because it obviously couldn't have been a human face, but it was kind of a human face. Does that make sense? No, it absolutely does, you know, based on other things that I've heard over the years. Were there any details about the face that really made it jump out that, okay, this is an ape-like face that I'm looking at right now? Um, that really jumped out.

Nothing, uh, I don't know how, no, it was, no, nothing that jumps out. It was, it was just a black face. You know, it wasn't hairy. It wasn't a hairy face. But the, it was kind of hairy around the mouth area, but not really. You know, it was kind of a beard, but it was a big beard. And the only place. When it wasn't hair, was on the cheekbones and on the forehead and on the nose.

Okay. I've seen drawings, and it was like, you know, which number one through 20 or whatever. And the one I saw was number 16, but it had rounder eyes. And I don't know. If you had done any research, I didn't, you know, kind of catch it here and there online. Okay. I know. I've done so much surfing.

It's crazy. Oh, I bet. I mean, it seems that after you have an experience like this, you either jump in head first or you're just, I don't want anything to do with this ever again. Yeah. Yep. And I was, I was, you know, the first two times I was in denial, you know, not completely, but I'm still curious. And then the third time, I'm absolutely positive. I'm dumbfounded that, you know, that this isn't a known species.

after doing all the surfing on net. I'm not the only one. There's other people that have seen these things, too. So I don't really feel totally alone about it, but still I need somebody to talk to about it. Absolutely. Did you have any electronics on you the first time when you went out there? Electronics on me.

Well, just my phone. There's no internet service out there. There's no phone service. It's literally in the middle of nowhere. Gotcha. And the phone was turned on. Yeah, the phone was turned on, but it was in my camper the first time I, well, the first time I saw something. So I didn't even bother taking a picture.

But this time it was on the workbench where I was, you know, putting things together. And I didn't have it in my pocket. That's true. So maybe I just want to double check. So the first time that you saw the same. the stump slash, well, Bigfoot, that phone was not on your person, correct? No, no, it was not. Was there anything else on your person that would have been electronic?

No, absolutely nothing. Okay, interesting. I had a drill, a battery operated drill. That's it. Okay. Are there any other things that you've noticed on the property that would tell you evidence that you might have something else on this property with you besides the visual that you had?

Well, yeah, it was when I first looked at this piece of land. There was an old hard side trailer in there. And it was in the license plate. Last time anybody was there was 1989. And I didn't think anything about it until after I saw what I saw. is that there was a tree that was next to it. The trailer was like halfway, I mean, the tree was like halfway in the trailer. And it looks like that tree fell on that trailer, square on.

So the trailer was on its left side, or the tree was on its left side. And somehow this tree fell on this trailer. And it had to have moved, in order for that tree to land like that, it had to have been directly behind the trailer. And it wasn't. It was on the left-hand side of the trailer. I didn't think anything of it. But I get it now.

I think somebody had a tree fell on that trailer for who knows what reason and left. Never came back. But like I said, the tree way it fell was impossible for it. to land the way it landed. If that makes anything, but that's, I kind of look back at that. That wasn't, you know, it was kind of a weird coinketing the way the tree fell on this thing, because it would literally have to, how would you say,

move back and over five feet to land on this tree, or land on the trailer. Right. So, who knows? But again, I put it all together and I heard that sound, And it was a roar. It was a definite roar, but it sounded like it was, like, disappointed. Somebody's there or something of the sort.

And that was super close. That scared me. That scared me. And that's when I realized I didn't even have a butter knife to defend myself to leave any DNA. So I stayed up the rest of the night waiting for the, because the store was. was about an hour away and it opened at seven. So I waited until six o'clock in the morning. This was about, I don't know, two, three o'clock in the morning when it happened.

And I ran to the store and I got myself a machete just in case. Sure. Yeah, absolutely. Are there any neighbors close to the property? And if yes, have you talked to them been like, hey, you haven't any weird stuff happen around here? I do have a neighbor, and I haven't had the opportunity to speak to her. I see her.

She's driving. She drives whenever I'm there, she's driving some white truck driving by. But this year, I will go up to her house and knock on the door. She is a permanent residence there, and it would be kind of a rough life up there because it's pretty deep in the middle of nowhere, but I will go speak with her. I'm not sure if I'm going to bring up the Bigfoot thing right away. I just want to introduce myself to her first and maybe ask her if she's heard anything strange. Right. Yeah, exactly.

Sounds like a good idea. You mentioned something really interesting that you experienced after this visual that you had. And you started to realize that you can tell a difference between people that say that they've seen it and really haven't. people that have really, really seen it, and they definitely have. Can you explain what that means? Yeah. I'll try to do the best I can with that. It's a tone of voice.

It's an excitement tone of the voice when you actually have seen it. It's hard to describe it. You get on the videos and you hear people talk. And it's like, people get too in depth. really too highly detailed where they're really trying to push that they've actually seen it and then you have people that are

kind of, you know, kind of, I would just say, a little more excited, a little more straightforward to the story. I don't know how I can pick it out. Kind of had that job in the service also. Again, again,

sometimes people get way too deep. they start going into their entire life story and it's like we really don't want to hear this. I just want to hear what happened, you know. That's what I'm thinking on the videos. I get it and that's actually some I picked up something similar to that when I first went out to Oregon and was able to talk to a lot of people face to face. You're like, okay, now I get it. Like yeah, absolutely.

My goodness, so you know what I'm, you know what I'm talking about. I know what you're talking about 100% yeah. Yes, I sure. do. So you are, you're at the point where, did you say later this year, 2026, you're going to start building more on this property? Well, this year I'm going to, I got a, I've got a lot of trees that are fell in and I got to chop them up and all that this year. And I'll put up a gate, just a couple of little odds and ends this year. But as soon as the snow melts, because I think right now we got about four feet where the property is, four or five feet. And there's more coming.

So it'll be next thaw. I'll be able to get out there and I'll do, you know, do some of my work, but I'll definitely sit down and put some time on the side to try to call them in, see if I can. Yeah, with the drill. I mean, it sounds, yeah, with the drill. I mean, people, I saw people using a baseball bat on a tree or hooting and hollering or something like that. I don't know if they work.

I don't know. But I know for a fact that this drill, well, not for a fact, but I know this drill could be one of the things that have drawn it in. I mean, I can't imagine why anything else would come in and sit there and watch, you know, be entertained with the drill. Because it makes a weird sound when every time you, you know, you screw up, put a screw in. It's such a strange thing, but it is a pattern that I've seen in other ways where, you know, there was an individual on the Olympic Peninsula that was able to bring them in with, a bagpipe. So sometimes

maybe it's just a sound that they're not used to and so they're extremely curious about it. Who knows, right? But have you heard that drill sound in the woods around your property outside of you using the drill? No.

Okay. Gotcha. It'd be interesting if you ever start to hear that. Sometimes that will happen, like a weird mimicry type deal. Really? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I've had that reported. Have you ever experienced anything on the property that is weird, but you're like it's definitely not Bigfoot related, but it still just doesn't make sense?

Nothing that I can think of right now. Cool. Nothing like that. However, I did, not on the property, but I took a little hike. I won't go in the woods anymore where I'm at without a firearm anymore. But I took a little walk up to north. I had north of it. And there was some trees falling over.

And I kind of watching some videos and the squatters were pointing out how they're crisscrossed in the branches. And I noticed that before I even saw the videos. And I just thought, wow, how did those trees end up like that? That's kind of weird how wind blows them over and how they can winky dinkly interlock each other. And then I started watching these videos and went, oh, this kind of makes sense now. Well You have an interesting situation Going on your property for sure, Jack

It'll be interesting to see what What happens Do you How are you viewing things there Are you just trying to figure out How to live with whatever is there Or how are you viewing this now? Oh, I'm just going to

I'm just going to live with it I hope he shows up Or he or she or whatever it is shows up and, you know, I don't kill anything. I won't shoot anything anymore. I won't do any of that anymore. I just want to live together with in peace. Whatever it is can come around and look and see and do whatever.

Just don't break anything. That's kind of my thought about this whole situation. I want to live and let live, and I don't want people to come into the area and start to start to start. urban the area looking for, you know, Bigfoot or Sasquatch or whatever they want to call because, you know, I think they should live in peace. And honestly, I think there's, there needs to be some sort of protection, some sort of law, something, something. Yeah. And trust me, I was not a believer at all, at all. And I am now. I'm not a believer. I'm a witness.

and it's kind of, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, you know. I think that's a great way to put it as it can be looked at that both ways.

You're not going to want to miss it. And I'll see you there. Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners.

If you're in the military, any branch, or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a national park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI, a federal agency, or working intelligence, and you've stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about, and if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search-and-rescue responder, who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field or trucker with government contracts,

and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract, who has found evidence you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat, and you saw something that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or anything with clearance, and you've seen what the public hasn't, then I want to talk to you.

Even if it's anonymous, you can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail.com. The world needs to hear what you've been forced to carry alone, and you're not alone. You've got the story. We've got the mic. See you in the woods. Thank you for listening to this episode of the Bigfoot Society podcast.
