They kept repeating the same similar screams up on the mountain or between the mountain eye. And then there were like two huge ones that seemed to have flanked me on each side. And what they would do is when they would scream, it was mostly the one on my left side, when this thing would scream,

it was like in competition with the others. So loud, it was, you wouldn't believe it. I mean, if you didn't, if I hadn't heard it, I'd think, yeah, dude, you're, sure, it was loud. No, this is like louder than an M-16 report. but it kept going and going. This episode of Bigfoot Society, I talked to Joe Morris, who is an outdoorsman, wildlife photographer, and Moore in the Great State of Alaska.

Joe shares some pretty intense Bigfoot encounters, including one by a glacier in Wrangell St. Elias National Park and being surrounded by screaming Sasquatches in Chugatch National Forest as well.

You got the privilege of talking to Mr. Joe Morris from out there in the bush in Alaska tonight. How's it going, Joe? It's going well. Right now I'm in Rangel, St. Elias, National Park. it's the biggest national park in the United States. It's 14,000 square miles.

That's over by the Yukon, right? Kind of? We're below the Yukon. We're between, well, we're in the middle of nowhere. That's why nobody knows this. So McCarthy, Alaska is the little tiny town that's inside this park. And if you want to Google it, that's the only thing. It's the only way you're going to find me.

Gotcha. Gotcha. far, how remote are you right now away from like is it your way out in the bush is what it sounds like? Yeah, I am, yes. If you wanted to look at a map,

I am 325 miles from Anchorage and I don't know how far from Valdives but those are the two reference points. So yeah, I'm on the bush, way out of the bush. Doing anything fun out of there? A lot of hiking, looking around doing photography. We got a lot of bears this year. Okay.

So it's mating season and, you know, don't really want to be around them right now. Yeah, probably not. Watch it back. But it sounds like you've had some really interesting encounters in that park. And I'd love to talk to you about it. So tell me what kind of things you run across out there. Well, we have all kinds of bears. and moose and

there's actually something that's more rare, I think, than a Sasquatch and it's called a glacier bear and I saw one. So it crawled up on me. I was not being quiet at all

and I had a campfire and it come up and looked at me. Scared the crap out of me. I didn't know what it was. Anyway, other than that, I've seen one Sasquatch within 40 yards in the sunlight as clear as if you were standing there.

What happened is, well, I can tell you the whole story. Won't we start from the beginning? Absolutely, yeah. Okay, so I was working at a lodge in McCarthy, Alaska. Not hard to find out which one it is. I prefer.

I don't know what to say. I don't really want to attention to draw into the lodge. It has nothing to do with it. But I happen to be working there. And it was late, probably August, maybe July, I can't remember. And a friend of mine works here. And he, you know, we were just burn out because it's a lot of work. It's only open for a certain amount of time.

And you've got to close it down. Open again next year. So we were wiped. And I said, hey, man, I'm going up to the toe. I don't want to walk. I'm going to grab my truck. you want to go? He's like, yeah.

So the toe is the end of the root glacier. And the root glacier is spelled R-O-O-T. And it's the glacier that happens to be about a mile and a half from where I'm sitting. So anyway, we run up there and you can hear it melting. And once in a while, you'll see calves. And, you know, it's cool to watch. It's pretty. And it's cooler because it's summertime.

time and you got a wind coming off the ice. So we were on the way out there going slow and I'm in this old beat-up Toyota. And I, you know, both of us have done this trail a million times. So we're going up this trail and I'm going really slow just in case there might be somebody or bears jump out or whatever because we're out in bush. And I'm cruising along. and I come up just to a tiny rise, not really a hill. But as I do, I see this black head. And it's smoothly crossing in front of us.

Well, it was going to. The way it was moving, it was smooth. It was not like a bear walks, a moose walks. Nothing walks that smooth. And I immediately, I got an ice cream headache. and I said it's a big foot and my buddy wasn't even paying attention he's like what I stopped and I said look dude

I think that's a big foot and it walked behind the hill you know the slight rise so all we could see was like I don't know most of its head as it floated by and it looked like it was floating so I get up there with the truck I'm like well we're going to find it so I come up over the rise

and he's not there whatever it was wasn't there. So I told me, don't slam the car door. So I pull up into the brush a little bit and stop. We open the truck doors and I'm always armed with a 10 millimeter sig. And he happened to have a AR-15, which isn't great for Bear, but it makes a lot of noise.

So I said, hey, if you go down about 60 yards and circling in the bush, once you go in, I'll go in, and maybe you'll chase it to me, whatever it is. I thought it was a wounded bear. I did not. You know, last thing on my mind was really a Zazquatch. I'd never seen one. Don't really care about him. And he did.

So when he walked in, I started walking in. And I walked in just past the brush line, kind of. and I stopped in the shadows. You know, I've hunted him all life. Neil, he kind of walked in and made all kinds of noise stomping in there, and he stopped. And I heard him kind of make this weird noise.

And he gasped. And I looked over at him automatically. And I had already scanned the area looking, but I heard him gasp, and I looked over, and before my eyes could get to his area, I realized there was a person standing there. about 40 feet away. To me, this thing looked about 6 foot 5.

It was well built. Had the deep, shape, body like a, you know, like a lineback or whatever. And it wasn't looking at me. It appeared that it was looking, well, it was not looking, it wasn't facing me. Its body basically was facing three quarter away from me. So I was seeing the left shoulder ear back. You could see the leg, but I couldn't see its face. And it was like almost doing it on purpose is what I got right in a way.

Wouldn't look at me. Kind of glanced at me. And when it did, it's eye. I couldn't believe it. The eyeball had a little bit of yellow, like our white eye area would be. but this thing you know it's sunlight my glasses have

I have these automatic darkening glasses and they've darkened down and I look at those things eyes and the pupils are enormous I mean it's all people and I'm thinking how can this thing see in the sunlight you know even in owls

eyes closed down quite a lot to regular in the sunlight that's not like they're totally blown out like they do at night. And that's, that was shocking. And then the next thing that freaked me out,

I was completely in shock, kind of. And the next thing that freaked me out is the way it ran. This thing took off with no gaining of speed like, you know, a bear would or a human. This thing took off from zero to 60. It appeared to be 60. miles an hour instantly.

And we went to about 75 yards, jumped over some trees that were down, and then took off again like 60 miles an hour. And that was it. That was the end of it. So I walked back to the truck and Neil comes back

and he's all excited. He's like, hey, I saw a big foot. I saw a big foot. And I'm like, what'd you see? And he says, I saw a human shaped arm except for it was too long. and this thing was walking or running and he saw the arm swing.

Well, that's not what I saw. I saw the whole thing, except for its face. And I don't know what gender or whatever, you know, a female. So anyway, it didn't really last long. It was gone. So we stood by the truck and talked about it a little

and we actually drove out with the toe again, you know, kept going, hung out and come back, looked around, So that was that. That was 2017. And it didn't keep me out of the woods. There was no violent encounter or whatever. You were scared to go back in the woods.

It sounds like you're pretty comfortable with the woods. Oh, hell yeah. No, I go back in there. Yeah. I did then. It's not like I'm going to see another one. Wow. You know, I'm 55 years old.

We're back then. I think it goes 50. Yeah, 50 is about right. I'd never seen all my life. You know, a chance of seeing another one or zero. And then I saw another one five years later. Right. And it was enormous.

The first encounter that you had, did you notice anything? You saw the back of it sounded like, do you notice anything about the shape of the head at all? Anything around that part of the big foot? No. all I saw is if when my son is it's six foot seven so in my mind this thing's a couple's inches shorter it's shoulders are probably the same width maybe a little bit more and it was very muscular as far as his head I'm prior military and if you take people and you shave their

heads like they're in the service or even really short hair You can see the shape of their head. So this thing's hair wasn't that long on its head. I would say maybe two to three inches at the most. And its head was like a human. It was a human. You know, in my mind, this was a person standing there. And I had a gun in my hand.

So I stepped out and I saw the brown fur and I've been around Alaska a long time. So I immediately drew my pistol. And then I realized what I was looking at. And I thought in my mind, immediately, this is a person. So I put my weapon away immediately and looked at it. I'm guessing the immediate reaction to pull your pistol would be because you see that color, you think it's bare, something like that. Absolutely.

Yeah. Yes. Everybody, well, I can't say everybody. In my opinion, the people that spend a lot of time out of the outdoors here in Alaska, they do it armed. Sure. You look at all the villagers when they leave their villages, they're armed. So it's natural to be armed here.

If you don't, you're going to be in bare bait. Absolutely. From things I've seen about Alaska, you do not, you don't get many chances to mess around for sure. You get made one chance and that's it. That's right. You make one mistake out here, especially when you're alone, like I go, and you're done. It's over. So you just got to be careful.

So anyway, that's, so I know, you know, let me talk about the next one, the five year later thing. Real quick, before we get to that, that area you were in, were there ever any stories you heard of other sightings? Or was it a pretty unique thing for the area that you were in? Let's go, girls. So this is the little pink pill everyone's been talking about. Yep, that's Addy. Good things do come in small packages. And Addy is definitely a good thing.

Take noise-canceling headphones. Do they block hearing to heightened taste? Hmm. That sound seems to show everything happens for a Reesis.

Well, I didn't, you know, of course, this has started me on my big Sasquatch. Sure. Adventure of the internet, trying to find information. So, you know, beforehand, I didn't really care about them. I never heard about them. You know, I'd heard about this thing called the Kushtika. But it wasn't a Bigfoot. It's the Otterman.

Exactly. So I'm inland, you know, right now. I'm about a mile, a half from where I was. And I'm inland 120 miles from the Gulf or the coast. There's no clue to here. That's what I'm saying. Gotcha. Around the coast and stuff.

Anyway. Yeah, let's continue. No is the answer. Yeah. So afterwards, yes, absolutely. I found out lots of things about this area. Five years later than. you had another thing happened to you,

which is totally unexpected because you're only expecting maybe one in your lifetime. Yes, correct. Yeah, I mean, it's not realistic to think you're going to see another one. So anyway, yeah, I saw another one last year. And then the other one is I saw a disappearing stump in the same area. Interesting. a disappearing stump. Yes.

And I can explain that one. Yeah. So I've had back problems and their service-related. So I've had, you know, treatments in my back. Unfortunately, it left me unable to walk for a while. So when I was able to walk,

I walked out over the place like the doctor and the physical therapist set. So I'd walk from about where I am down to the tow road, walk in there, walk all over the place on uneven surfaces because that's what the doctor wanted me to do. And then when I was about, couldn't do it anymore, I'd walk back home back here.

And I did that day after day after day after day. It's just physical therapy. I have to. If I want to walk, I have to do it. So I walk this trail over and over every day. And in Alaska, this time of year, it doesn't really get dark. It's more pliote.

So I walk this trail and I'm headed towards the toe And I've looked at this same trail and everything in it a whole bunch of times So everything's basically memorized And as I walk up, I'm a hunter photographer So I can tell you what's not really supposed to be in place If I saw a place and something changed I could pretty much tell you what I would My brain will tell me there's something changed Anyway, so I'm walking down this trail

And I'm looking to the right for no reason and I see this big black stump. Now, the toe of the glacier is where the glacier is receding, meaning nothing can grow there quick enough that would be a three-foot stump or more. That's impossible. Gotcha. Unless the thing's petrified.

And I've walked this area a whole bunch and I've never seen it. So I stop and I look at it and I light up a cigarette. I'm thinking, you know, I'm tired anyway because I'm hurting. And I look at this stump and I'm thinking, well, shit, I'm going to go sit on it. What is this thing? It's weird. It shouldn't be eager. And I walked towards it.

And my feet get tangled in the brush. I look down, you know, get them untangled and keep going. And I look up and it's gone. Oh, boy. And one thing I hadn't told you is while I was watching this stump before I walked towards it, It opens its eyes. So on the side of the stone, its eyes opened. Really?

And I was shocked. I'm like, what the F is this? So I thought whatever it was would get up and run away. That's why I was standing there slowly smoking this cigarette. Look at this thing. And it was probably, it wasn't far at all. I don't know how many feet. It was a ways, you know.

I'm a bow hunter. It would be an easy shot, so 25, 30 yards. So I'm like, well, and then it closed its eyes and it turned it into us, you know, you couldn't tell it wasn't anything else. I'm like, well, I'm going to go find out what it is. So I got a gun on with no big deal. So I walked towards it, get stuck in the brush a little bit, look up. It's gone.

No sound at all. Hadn't rained it a couple days. And I'm like, well, if I walk in there, it sounds like I'm, you know, know, walking through a bunch of brushed up peanut shells or something. So I'm like, well, this is weird. So I walk back in there anyway, and I look around for 15 to 20 minutes. I look up in the trees. I look at the ground.

I'm fairly good at tracking. Nothing's disturbed. And I'm thinking, wow, what in the world? So I walk back to the road or the trail. I walk down to the toe, do my thing. walk home. And as I walk home, I use the same trail. And I keep, you know, I keep looking to my left, which is where that area was. And I see nothing. No big deal. So I go home and, you know, next day I get up and I have to go walking. So eventually I go walking. And this day, it's later.

So it's probably 11 o'clock. Something like that. And I go walking because I put it off. It hurts. I don't want to do it, but I do it. So I go out there and the same trail. And I keep looking to the right because that's where I saw the disappearing stump. And I'm walking along looking for this stump looking thing. And I stop because something tells my brain while something's out of place.

So I look and I'm studying the area And I haven't really done that at that point And I I'm scanning the area And I'm like well I'm not going to spend much time on it And I'm about to leave And I look over and behind this spruce tree That's about 12 feet high

Is it's like Like a traditional big foot stand there Except for this was jet black Jet black You couldn't see anything light coming off. And it was still a little bit light. It's bluish light here.

And it didn't move. I couldn't see its face. I didn't know if it was looking at me or looking the other way. I assumed it was looking at me. And it was enormous. It was 12 feet tall, five, five and a half feet wide.

And it's like my brain didn't register what it was until it did. And it was. It was like, oh, shit. So I raised my right hand, and I said, hey, big brother. And I turned and I walked away and walked down the toe and did my thing. Wow. And eventually I came back because it's really the only way to get home this way.

So I come back and I'm freaked out and looking behind me and stuff, but it didn't seem to bother. I got this feeling that it was watching the trail. They didn't grow crap above me. So anyway. I walk back that area and I'm really worried. And I keep looking all over the place, especially to my left. And I see nothing. That was the end of it.

I find it really interesting. The reaction you had when you saw it was, you know, to raise your hands say, hey, big brother. What was it that you think that that made you do that reaction? Was it something you'd heard previously or is it just, it just came out of you? No, because in 2017, you know, I went on the rabbit hole for information about what I'd seen. Because I didn't know what I'd seen.

During that time, I'd learned that if you're getting fairly close to these things, and in my opinion, since I saw one the first time, and I've listened to Native Tales and learnings, they say they're people. So somewhere I heard, hey, that's proper greeting. You should say, hello, big brother, and leave. Or you should say more to it. But for me, that was all I could do. That's what I did.

When you were doing research into this, the years prior, were you going directly to those that you may have known around you? or was this, you know, things online or? Both. Mostly online. I know Native Stone and, well, throughout the state, but mostly down by the Copper River area at the basin. And the two people I know well there, it's a man or female.

And the man is not from Alaska and the lady is from western. in Alaska. So her knowledge would be limited to Alaska, of course, but more specified in that area. I did talk to the gentleman, and he did not like talking about it. In general, he doesn't care. And he'll tell me areas that he just cannot sleep overnight because we both camp a lot. He does more than I do know. But we'd always be on our rigs campers, you know, huh?

whatever. Always ought to tell him. And so he'd tell me the areas he couldn't sleep in, which I find weird because the guy can, you know, he's just an outdoors. And a native. He can park his reg and sleep anywhere. Kind of like I do. But there are basically three places down there that I cannot sleep in. I've tried. But he can't. Are those areas you can mention or they're just random areas out in the bush? No, I can mention them. I don't really want to get specific because I don't want to mess with the people in the area. Oh, yeah, definitely not. Yeah.

So, but, you know, one of them, I didn't see anything, but I've heard things. And then the other two, they're just creepy, dude. I mean, I can go anywhere, sleep anywhere. It doesn't bother me. there are two places other than my favorite place that are just creepy as well. You know, it's a deep dark rainforest. There's absolutely no light because the foliage grows over. And if you usually have cloud cover.

And if you get a moonless night, it's like being in a cave. Wow. You mentioned you've heard some interesting things in certain areas. Have you ever heard like vocalization? things like that. Oh, yes. What kind of things have you heard? I have heard quite a few of things.

The strangest thing is I was down by this place I call it the Grayling Pound. And it's probably 18 miles from a little village. And back in the off the main road there, I don't know how many miles. It's a little log and trails you follow. And if you don't know them, you're going to get lost. Anyway, so I'm parked next to this grayling pond. And I got one of those solo rangers going. It's a fire pit.

And I'm sitting on a lawn chair kind of thing, camp chair, on my feet up, on a table with a headlight on, and I'm reading a book. And it's nice out, kind of, kind of misty. You know, it's a rainforest, so it's doable. and he'd be used to it. So I'm sitting there reading this book and I hear these, you know, owls. They're not uncommon. And, but first I hear ravens.

And I'm like, why are ravens out to stick? So they shut up and I went back to reading. And then I heard owls. And the owls didn't sound right. It was too many of them. And if you hear an owl, it's alone. and they may have somebody else with it, you know, another owl, but it's in another area hunting, just like it is.

They don't hunt together. So I'm like, well, that's strange. It was like three of them. And I thought, well, that's weird. Maybe it's breeding season or something. So the hoots don't seem correct. And then one of the hoots that I'm here sitting back reading the book, not really care of paying attention.

And this hoot turned into like the loudest scream from a woman you will ever hear in your life. And it was ridiculously long. And I put the book away and I looked around because I'm on in Illinois. I didn't get walk up at evening. I don't have a fence or anything around me. And I'm like, what the hell was that? So let's go girls So you've been taking one of these little pink pills daily?

Yeah And you feel Uh-huh and more More? Huh I didn't think we could feel like that again at our age Oh get ready girl Ooh la la Meet Addie

It said everything happens for a reason, but maybe everything happens for a recess. Take noise-canceling headphones. Do they block hearing to heighten taste? Hmm. That sound seems to show. Everything happens for a recess. I sat there for a while, and I said, well, I'm going to listen to this. And another one doesn't.

And another one doesn't. And I'm like, wow, and they're not that far away. They're like, to me, they were like on the back side, between me and the sound is a graling pond, an opener, you know, it's kind of an open area, it's tundra, and then it goes up onto the side of a mountain. And to me, they sounded like they were way back up the mountain, but they were really loud.

So I thought, well, that's weird. And I was a little freaked out. So I sat there and, you know, nothing really happened. And then the ravens kicked off again. And then I heard coyotes. And I thought this is really weird. There is no way this is going on this time of night. There's nothing out here to draw them to where I am.

At the time, there was rivers, through a river, a small river side of the forward to get to where I was. And they were packed with salmon. That's a great time to go camping because nothing is going to mess with you. Big weeks in. Anyway, eventually these things are screaming. They sound like coyotes. And then I turn into people yelling.

And then there's multiple ones going off at one time. And then I hear this one. And it is so loud. It cannot be explained. It shook my entire body. It fired off with this crazy scream like a lady. It was really, really loud. So it's this, I don't even how to explain it.

It's this piercing scream like a woman that's really in trouble. And then it turned into, shit, kind of a man being... you know, murdered. And that turned into like this animalistic scream. And it was almost all at once. It's really hard to explain. So I'm out there in the woods and it's dark as, you know, if I shut my light off, I can't see anything.

And I'm like, wow, I think it's time to go. So I load my chair into the truck and, you know, do my little, make sure everything's picked up. Well, the fire pits do not. doing anything to them. I'm not going to worry about it. It's right. It's not going to burn. You're not going to have a floor as far as then. So I get in the truck

and the way my SUVs made, I can look backwards with the doors open. And I have a chair back there where I can just chill out in and read. So I was. I'm like, well, at least I'll be in here. So I shut the two doors and I had the window open.

And I'm like, okay, I want to listen to the house. So they kept screaming. they kept repeating the same similar screens up on the mountain or between the mountain eye and then there were like two huge ones that seemed to have flanked me on each side and what they would do is when they would scream it was mostly one on my left side when this thing would scream it was like in competition with the others and it screams so loud.

It was, you wouldn't believe it. I mean, if you didn't, if I hadn't heard it, I'd think, yeah, dude, you're, sure,

it was loud. No, this is like, louder than an M16 report. But it kept going and going. And finally, the one on the right started. So I got these two gigantic things

I can't see shit. And they're hollering like nothing I've ever. or just it's insane. So I'm like, well, I think it's time to leave again. So I crawl over and I'm about to shut the hatch and just crawl in the front scene.

I'm not going outside. And then the one on the left started laughing. And it was this, I can't produce it, but it was this deep, truly laugh. And it started like, oh, well, but then it turned into like this demonic laughing. And it was incredibly loud and very deep. And then the one on the right did it. So I'm between these two things.

And I'm thinking, I should be terrified. But I'm not. And I started laughing along with these two guys or whatever. And I thought, you know, if there's something wrong here, I got to get that. out of here. So I listen a little longer and I've been there maybe 40, 40 minutes at the most, something like that. I don't know. Since they started talking, oh, they talk too. And I shut the hatch and I'm like, I can't deal with us. I'm going somewhere else. I'm not super freaked out. So I crawl in the front and I drive towards this glacier that's hard to get to. And

it's behind a kind of behind a ridge. The same ridge I think they were yelling from, but it's kind of on the back side. So I parked there and I get out and, you know, head up being. So I go out in wood, you know, there's no wood now. It's all open glacier scrub. So I can see. And I get out, look around my light, do my thing, and listen, and I don't hear anything but the glacier ice moving behind me, which is absolutely normal. You know, it's about set some of them are the size of a car or some of them

size your fist and when the wind blows they can always they bump into each other so I'm thinking okay I'm going to sleep here tonight and I'll go deal

with the fire pit in the morning so I'm tired so I crawl back in my SUV and go to bed make sure the doors locked there's nobody out there

there's no human beings out there and sometimes during the night, I get, I wake up and I hear this sound of something bouncing out the top of my, I should be off the rough. I don't think of what in the hell. And I, you know, because it's a coast, coastal area, coastal Alaska, I'm thinking about sea goals and you're dropping clams on me trying to break them open. And then I realized it's in the middle of the night. They're going to be out. So I listen and I hear these, they're basically small pebbles.

They're getting bounced off the top of my truck. And I'm not scared and I actually didn't care. I heard that if you let them do their thing, they get bored and leave. But if you interact with them, you know, they like that. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad. They just want to be interacted with. So I left them and I went to sleep and everything was fine in the morning. And then in the morning, I drove over, picked up my far pit, cleaned it out, and left.

Let's go, girls. So you've been taking one of these little pink pills daily? Yeah. And you feel... Uh-huh. And more. More? Huh. I didn't think we could feel like that again at our age. Oh, get ready, girl.

It said everything happens for a reason, but maybe everything happens for a recess. Take noise-canceling headphones.

Do they block hearing to heighten taste? Hmm. That sound seems to show. Everything happens for a recess. Wow. You mentioned you heard them talking as well? Yes. Can you describe what kind of talking that you heard?

All right. So I've been in the last good 12 years and I've worked remote villages, Native villages. And I can't think of the other one. Anyway, they're real common here. And Yupik language where I used to hang out to work, that was common. So Yupik, it's a hard, you know, it almost sounds Asian, but it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's so these big things were sounding like they wanted to speak in Yup. They, they'd started, but it was like, yeah, I've never heard that. It's, it's, it's a different cadence. It's super fast, and they sound really angry. That's the only way I can explain it. That is, and I only heard that from two. guys, those two males,

I believe they're males. You know, I didn't see anything. I couldn't. But the two that were closer to me, the big laughing things, right. They were the ones that I heard speak. And I think they were talking to each other. Not long,

I was right before I left and I'm like, no. So anyway, I have heard speaking people or whatever, speaking in areas that it's impossible. there's nobody there. And it's always this stupid sounding thing.

Wow. Usually women and children, they laugh and, you know, they say their thing. It sounds like they're picking berries and they're really happy. But, you know, I know there's nobody there. I can go walk over there. I'd already walk past this place. It's glacier. It's like a moon out here in some places.

You can't die. There's nothing there. So you walk past. You know, sit down. I'm a photographer, so I get ready to start taking pictures. And I'm like, you hear you pick. And you know there's nobody there. There's nobody out here.

Would you ever go back to that area that you said it was Grayling Lake or? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I'll go back. I plan to go back here probably next month. And that's in the, that's the Rangel St. Elias National Park area is the same area as we were talking before. That's correct.

So I'm in the Wrangell of St. Elias National Park right now. And I'm indoors because it's raining. But, you know, tomorrow I'll be out of the same exact place. I saw these two Sasquatch. It's not far and I still have to walk. Wow. And you're headed out there tomorrow. That's nuts.

Wow. That's incredible. I was out there yesterday. Oh, you were? Wow. Well, it's just, yeah, I walk it all the time. and you know people say well they get this weird feeling and I do a little bit when I'm out there but it's

it's completely not I can't explain it it's not threatening at all it's just I don't think they give a crap about me I just happen to be near it's not gonna be there yeah I always walk alone I'm always alone out here and it's not it's by choice because if I have a dog it's loud I can't get my wild life photos a lot of people are bored because you have to sit around quietly, you know, and homemade blind or whatever. Yeah. It's considered boring.

So what was your last question? Have you, no problem. Have you heard anything that would be similar to anything that sound like a ape or a monkey or anything? Sometimes people say they hear stuff like hoots or Givens, things like that? Yeah. I have heard the hoot from a gigantic. given or whatever they call them the things that

scream, you know, little monkeys and make ridiculous sounds. It did sound kind of like that a couple times. You know, and I've heard the hooting. They don't like do it over and over. It's like you'll hear it in the background and, you know, it's never meant anything to me. I don't care.

It doesn't. I just don't care. You know, it doesn't register. It's not a threat. It's nothing I mean. I can't take a picture of it. Right. I'm not going to eat it. Have you ever considered taking an audio recorder out with you when you go to these areas? Funny you may ask.

I just got one. I love it. I'll be out there next month and I'm actually going to camp out. My favorite place that they happen to like the screen and we'll see what happens. I don't think I care about me. I'm in the area. To me, it's like they're having a podcast. You know what that is?

Remind me. I think I know the gist of what you're saying, but I'd love to hear about it. So a potlatch or a powwow to maybe a lesser extent. The natives, it's basically a celebration. And it can be for different things. You know, Lord knows what they're celebrating. But that's what it reminds me of.

Fascinating. They're definitely up and fun. if you happen to get some interesting audio, definitely reach out. I would love to hear it and I can get you in touch with some guys that can really analyze it as well. Yeah, that's what I was looking for. You know, and the whole thing is I can get the great videos. I can take pictures of the footprint so I can record the audio. It doesn't be nothing.

You know, it's just fun for me. I don't care, you know. I'll play for a friend or mom. I ain't you ever heard this in the woods. But, you know, my life doesn't. I don't care. You know what I mean? I totally, totally get it.

I'm looking over your email real quick and, um... Let's go, girls. So this is the little pink pill everyone's been talking about. Yep, that's Addy. Good things do come in small packages. And Addy is definitely a good. thing. Not just good.

Take noise cancelling headphones. Do they block hearing? to heightened taste?

Mmm. That sound seems to show. Everything happens for a Reesis. You had mentioned in the email, I think it was the Chugach National Forest. Yeah, Chugac. Yeah, it's below me. Chugac. Is that, is that the, that's the area where you had mentioned before with like the, the screaming and the laughing, etc.

Correct. Oh, very interesting. And I've seen some giant footprints down there. Really? Huge. Oh, it's ridiculous. I left. And then I did see some other tracks down there that I actually, I was a fishing guide.

And I, one of my clients freaking out, so I squished them all out. Oh, you would wipe away the tracks so you wouldn't freak out your clients. Yeah. Wow. They'd have, they could, it's a lot of money to fly out there and have fun. That's incredible. You want to fly out there and say, you know, I don't know, I got to go, what the hell is that?

You can't say, I don't know. You're in the bush. They're with you. It's a one-on-one situation. They're going to make sure, you're there to make sure they live through this. They can have fun, do whatever they want, as long as it's legal.

But, you know, it's me keeping the bears off them and showing them where a fish. Sure. It makes sense. That's really boring sometimes. I mean, you know, I'd rather be able to take a picture somewhere. In that forest, does it kind of bump up against the Kenai Peninsula?

No. No? Okay. No. Uh-uh. Uh, when you get chance, Google the Copper River. Okay. And if you go down by, there's a place I, this is where I saw the tracks near.

It's called the Night Island. And it's within the actual Copper River. Night Island. That's a weird place down there. Yeah, Night Island. And that'll bring you into the Copper River Basin. Okay. What is so weird about that area?

Oh, that's a report from the locals about something like a circular pool of light. And it shoots up in the air and it's gone. Really? Yeah. Oh, wow. She can't make up. Yeah, I know. And then the footprints I saw were huge.

and I'm like, I'm not going to look, I just got my truck and left. I saw a humongous bear out there. I don't, I assume it was natural. I've seen plenty bears, hundreds and thousands of them. 16 up in a, you know, I've seen 16 in today.

That's not a big deal. But this bear, if we were, if we were standing on a pavement, this thing walked past me, it would be, I'm 5'10. It would be, as tall as my back, or its back, my head would be, or maybe I'd be a little shorter.

Stuff you don't mess with, for sure. And I actually talked to a local law enforcement guy, you know, a federal force for a scout. And I told him when I saw it and he laughed and he's like, yeah, they get really big. He's like, usually people don't see him from that or eight. So congratulations. You win. Yeah, you win the prize. That's not what I'm looking for, man.

Right, yeah, yeah. I'm like, is there a third species of bear out there? That's what I asked him. He's like, no. They just get, you know, they keep growing if they have food. Wow. Anyway. Joe, incredible accounts.
