and hit that I could really hear the door knob, like this thing, let the door not go. I swung that door open, and I couldn't believe what I was seen. I really liked to greet someone at the door. That's how close this thing was. And what I've seen was very tall, covered in hair from head all the way down its legs. I couldn't really make out the face because it was covered in hair. It's like we looked at each other for a couple of seconds, and it just darted off the porch.

On this episode of Bigfoot Society, we talked to Brenda Harris, Bigfoot researcher in New Mexico and Arizona. What is exactly going on out there at the Navajo Reservation? Find out this and more on this week's episode of the Bigfoot Society podcast. Quick note before we get started, this is actually an older episode that I've never been really able to share just in the Patreon. And at that time, it was a low amount of members. but this is a interview that was recorded April 29th, 2021 with Brenda Harris. If you may remember a few episodes back, Alex had asked me, hey, have you ever talked to Brenda Harris?

And I said, yes, but going through all my archives, I realized the world hasn't actually been able to listen to that yet. So here is the unveiling of pretty much that lost interview with Brenda Harris from 2021. So enjoy. I have the pleasure of. of talking to Ms. Brenda Harris from the Southwest, and she's here to talk to us about Arizona and Bigfoot, but we're going to get a little bit of other stuff in there as well.

So Brenda, nice to meet you. Yes, nice to meet you. Thank you for having me on. Is there anything else you would want the listeners to know about yourself? I know you've got a pretty interesting YouTube channel, but what else do we have going on? Well, I do a lot of Bigfoot investigation here on the reservation that made me out of New Mexico. I do some calls from Arizona too as well. But other than that, I'm really just a stay-at-home wife, work on the farm and just taking care of my husband, who's been ill for a while, but I've been back on a street.

So now we're just working on the farm, the homestead right now. And, you know, if I get calls and, you know, on Bigfoot, and I'll go and check into some what's going on in, you know, in different areas. That's about what I do. What got you into Bigfooting originally? What was the thing that caught your interest there? Well, it goes back to, oh, geez, since I was a little kid, a young gal. We had some things that had happened back at home, but, you know, I still can't explain what had come

around our home and into that. And then going to my teens, I would hear on the radio on the Navajo hour. You know, they would share the news of what's going on on the reservation and stuff like that. And the lady would, how I got to kind of listening to this is I want to back up a little bit. My mom and dad used to take us out to Arizona. That's where my grandma lives on the mom's side of the family. and we would load up, you know, three, four o'clock in the morning, and dad had a truck and had a camper, and he made like a makeshift bed in the back, and we'd all call him go to sleep. And during the summertime, we would go on the weekend to go see my grandma, and it takes about three, about three hour drive, a little over three hour drive.

and on our way, as we were leaving driving through Farmington, my parents would be listening to the Navajo hour and something that caught my attention was the lady would be saying, don't be going down to the San Juan River because there's a monster down there and that really caught my tension.

And I've asked my mom, what is she talking about? There's a monster down there. Oh, you know, it's nothing. Just go to sleep, you know, wake you up we get the grandmas, you know, like, okay. So, you know, I left it at that. Throughout the summertime, we would go.

And again, in that time that we had, you know, load up and took off again. And then this time, of course, my mom and dad didn't know that I was listening. And she, again, would say, don't go down to the San Juan River. This time she used the name Sasquatch. And that name really stuck to me for a long time. And they're like, what is she talking about? So again, I asked with Mom and Dad, what is the Softwatch?

What is she talking about? And it was always at the San Juan River or the Animus River. And again, you know, Mom and Dad, there's nothing just go to sleep. So as I got in, you know, older and into my teens, you know, that movie, The Legend of Bobby Creek came out. Sure, yeah. And, you know, at the beginning of the movie, you know, how the guy talks. And then he says the name Softwatch, and I'm sitting in the theaters. and I'm listening like

when the guy said the name like I remember that name that's the name the exact same name that the lady said on the Navajo hour I'm like what is a softwatch you know at that time

I didn't know and as the movie goes on and then it shows us a tall creature like you know carry monster at that seemed like that's what I would see the monster

you know and I'm like that's what she's talking about you know and I'm like that's running around down here at the San Juan River, you know, and I'm like, whoa. Now I was like, wow, ever since then, that's when it peaked. You know, I really got kind of interested in checking more into it. And then I got married. Okay.

And we had, what, I had two kids. Oh, about, what, early 90s. My kids were, I believe, four. I'm going to say four and five. It could be maybe even five or six, but it was around that age. It was really young. Well, I'm just to leap right into the story.

This is where, all right. I mean, I just really got, you know, really into big footing more is because that was, this was my very first encounter, like, opened the door to just standing right there. What had happened was, it was in the summertime. And at the time, my husband was working at the mine.

And so he's working, you know, different shifts. Well, this night, he was working the great shift. And he had left the house about 10.30 at night. And about 15 minutes, 15, 20 minutes that he had left. I had all like the living room windows and our bedroom windows open to the summer. It was pretty hot. So my kids, my kids. My two kids, and I had one of my youngest brother at the time, he stayed with us that night.

And my cousins, a couple of them stayed over from next door with us. So they're all laughing and giggling and stuff. You know, it's having a good time. And then all of a sudden, I hear something heavy walking onto the porch. Well, there was gravel that we had put just before you. hit the stairs to the porch. And another thing that really caught my attention is we had some dogs. And my dogs, I could literally whimpering and crying, and they were underneath the porch.

I'm like, why are they crying? You know, what the heck? And I could hear this thing, whatever it was, was walking, gets onto the porch. And so I tell the kids, hey, be quiet. You know, just there's something. Something's out there. and my brother, my young brother, was standing in front of me and he was a little bit closer to the front door.

Well, I had already put the deadlock and locked the door up and we had a screen door, but I didn't like that one and I didn't have a porch light on at the time. And so I'm like, someone is on the porch because I could hear, you know, porches, a lot of them, have the squeaking sound, right? And so I'm like, okay. I'm like, the dogs are really crying.

You know, what the heck? But what is out there? I thought, oh, maybe it's just, you know, the kids from next door, their dad or their mom or somebody's trying to scare us, you know? So I'm thinking a few seconds later, I could see the doorknops turning, like someone's trying to get to open the door.

Go away. And now I'm like, oh, okay, what the heck? So I told my brother, I said, open the door, let's see who it is. And I'm just thinking that's either my husband playing a trick on this or someone next door is doing it. My brother was so scared. He couldn't move. He was just frozen. So I went around him and I could just see the doorknob is moving back and forth.

And so I did unlock the main deadlock. When I hit that click, I could really hear the doorknob, like this thing let the doorknob go. I swung that door open and I couldn't believe what I was seen. I really let you greet someone at the door. That's how close this thing was. What I've seen was very tall, covered in hair from head all the way down its lanes. I couldn't really make out the face because it was covered in hair. It's like we looked at each other for a couple seconds and it just darted off the porch.

That was the beginning of what I'm doing now. That was my very, very close encounter that had happened. I was like, I couldn't believe it. You know, I'm like, you know, I was stunned. You know, I didn't know what to say. As soon as it started off, you mean, this thing taken off running, my dog still wouldn't come out from underneath the porch. They were so scared and they were still crying.

And, you know, my kids behind it, what was? what was and I'm like oh nothing let's just all go to bed I shut down everything I just go to bed because I didn't want to scare the kids you know turn off all the lights and and that was the beginning that night I mean this thing came back that night throughout the whole night and what it wanted you know I I don't know you know I was really really really shocked you know and you know like I said this thing came back throughout the whole night, but tried to open the door. You know, what it wanted, I have no idea. Even to this day, I go back and say, what did it want?

Why was it trying to get into the house? Was it the kids? What did it want? You know, I have no idea what it wanted. This went on throughout the night, and I would get up, turn the light on, and I could hear it taking off. and it would come back about 10 minutes later. And I was like, you know what? Because right, we have a master bedroom, the windows right there,

so I could see out the front who's walking up. And I can get a really clear vision of who's on the porch. So, you know, I open, you know, standing there, and I'm like, oh, what is it? Why? And I'm like, what the heck? So I flipped a light on in the bedroom when it took off. each time I did it, it would come back every 15 minutes, every 10, 15 minutes.

About 3, 3.30 and I'm like, okay, you know what? I locked the kids in the house and I had my brother watch some of my kids and I locked up everything. I jumped into the truck and I drove around down to the field. And had I just paid attention to one of our dogs, she finally came out and started running beside me in the truck. And if I would have just paid attention to her, I could have seen her to see her to thing was hiding, but I didn't. I passed right by it and the dog wouldn't come any further. She was running back to the house, crying, you know, scared.

And I had just passed this thing. It was hiding in the bushes. I think bushes down at the end of the field in the corner. So I didn't see it. Apparently I passed it. Went drive around behind the house. I didn't see anything. So I just came back in, locked up everything.

Thinking this thing was gone, long gone by now. and no no I crawl back in the bed about 10 minutes later there it is again you know this was going on

throughout the whole night until about daybreak which is probably about 6 o'clock and it's just like everything stopped and then my husband come pulling up about soon after 7 in the morning

I had told them what had happened and he's looking at me like yeah right. And it's probably just a skin walker or someone. I said, no. Yeah, I just derived everything to what I had seen.

And I said, okay, well, let's go walk around the house and see if we could find any footprints. And right behind the house, behind my, right at my kids' bedroom window in the back, the only hold, there's a footprint. And the best right to describe this footprint was, it looked. like exactly the same footprint that in that movie The Legend of Bagger, you know how those two young guys

are fishing down at the creek and the young guy finds a footprint. That's the exact same footprint that I seen we found behind the house. And I'm looking at him like, see, look, there's my proof. There's a footprint. He's like, oh,

he's just like, oh, crap. You know? And I was like, wow. And I was just I don't know what it wanted and why why you wanted to come in. I don't know. And that was the beginning of me. Really goes back to younger days of, you know, hearing some stories and stuff like that.

But this was my very, very first encounter, basically face defense, you could say. That night, like I said, day break, no, it was quiet after that. we could hear maybe like about a week later we could hear the dogs crying and barking and stuff but it never came back to the door like it did that night this is sophia bush from work in progress with sophia bush and now a break from our sponsor miracle grow let's be real we're all feeling a little digitally distracted and time starved lately we're craving real connections and ways to unplug and honestly, gardening is the ultimate way to do this.

the time of 50, 26. That was pretty scary. You know, it coming around like that. But now we've moved from about less than a quarter mile from there, just down the road. We have our old property now. That was like my father in-law's place that had happened. But the plot that we're on right now,

we've had so many activities here. It runs through our feelings. through our field during the summertime into the fall time and harvest. When it's harvest time, when I'm saying harvest, a lot of farmers down here in our area, they plan a lot of veggies, corn, and the watermelon, the garden. Well, these things like to come in and raid the garden. So they'll take the watermelon and eat the corn. Yeah, so we get a lot that come through here during that time, that time, fall time is

when we start having to harvest. Everybody's harvesting their gardens, and that's when we get a lot of activity. So this is happening, you said, in the New Mexico area? Yes. Is this a common thing down there in Arizona and New Mexico, where you have Bigfoot almost messing around with people's properties, or is your situation pretty unique, you would say?

No, so it's pretty much a common thing. You know, thing comes around when it's hungry. Okay, like right now. These things are hungry. So there's no more harvest food. So now they're looking for food. And usually when they start coming on to people's plot, I always get calls on my dog's missing.

Cats are missing. Chickens, rabbits, some sheep that go missing, you know. And so when that happens, they're hungry. And so that's when they'll start going for animals. I've gotten calls out there in Arizona area where a lot of people have had their sheep taken. I've even come across. I've gotten a call several years ago

on some people's ranch up there out in the mountains. And one Sunday, and it was on Friday night of me that the family decided to go stay out of their ranch out in the mountains. And it had, I think about maybe eight or ten people stay there at the ranch that night. Well, when they got there, they got there late at night,

Friday night, they said that they had a lot of yelling going on, a lot of it howling out there in the mountains close to the ranch. So they started a bonfire and they said the yelling went on for, I believe, maybe hour, hour and a half maybe.

Then it stopped. And they could hear a lot of movement around them. And Saturday, they did the rounding up cattle and stuff like that. And I believe it's, this would be Friday. Saturday. Saturday. When they got done, you know, doing stuff, they went to the south end of their corral, you know, walking around Mexican things. And while they come across this deer.

And this deer was, I mean, its neck was, this body was all twisted. Oh, boy. And, I mean, this thing just ripped into that deer. I shouldn't say deer with the fuck. They called me, yeah, they called me on Saturday night. No, it was on Sunday when I got the call. And I went out there to go look. and what I seen was this buck was just ripped up.

I mean, the whole body was twisted. I couldn't believe how the body was just twisted. And I'm like, okay, there's no cat, no bear that was around. They used to have, according to the family, they used to get a lot of bears. But ever since they've been having Bigfoot activity out there in Arizona, in the mountains, it's where in their ranch in Arizona, that they said they don't see any more bear because of this that's been running around up.

There's, it's almost as the issue. They were saying that this thing just push all the bear out and claim that area, you know. So when I went to go do like my own investigation there, um, around the deer or a buck there, there was actually no like canine footprints.

Okay. No, no bear tracks. And there was no cat tracks, you know, like mountain lions, you know, I didn't find any of that. The only footprint that we come across around where that buck was killed was 16, size 16 to 16 and a half footprints that were around. Oh, wow. that book and trees that were broken.

When I got to looking, you know, more and morning, I was talking with a gentleman there, I said, you know, that night that you guys all ended up there, this thing must have killed it because it was a fresh kill. So I'm kind of assuming that the deer was chilled late Friday because family got there. It was Saturday when they showed up there. and then they said that that's when they heard a lot of the yelling and stuff.

And then that's when they found the deer the next morning. And so I was telling them, I said, you know, I said, I'm kind of wondering, being that they killed that, that bug must have been late Saturday morning, you know, late Friday night into Saturday early morning. they must have killed it then and Saturday night you guys showed up and these things are yelling back and forth I'm kind of thinking

I bet they were coming back to retrieve that buck and finish it off you know when I said it I mean by eating it and it

seemed that the family was there so they couldn't get close to it if you do you get what I'm saying so that kind of kind of messed things up being that the family was there. And they were probably going to come back for that buck. But they couldn't get to it because the family was there.

Exactly. Exactly. I have a clarifying question. You've mentioned this isn't a mountain area of Arizona. So is this up in the Moghion Rim area when you say that or no? No, it's in the, no, what they call the Etrusca Mountains. Okay. It would be the west.

West, southwest. Okay. Okay. So definitely a different area. I know there's a whole, there's a whole area in Arizona where it's like the Mogian monster type deal. But that's like up north of the Grand Canyon

and the Mugat Rim area. But you're saying this is a totally separate thing. This is Bigfoot in the southwest corner of the state. Yeah. is what you're saying. Okay, very interesting. It'd be the west also up north. Okay.

Northwest. Yeah. So when you do these, when you look up these reports, are you doing these yourselves? Are you, you know, involved with like a BFRO or are you kind of like? No, I have my, like, my own little team that we go and do our investigation with. Are you casting tracks? if you can and things like that or more interviewing witnesses. Yeah?

Yes. The different reports that you've followed up on, have you found that there are characteristics that stand out among Bigfoot of that state? I know different states, maybe the Bigfoot's have different color, fur. Have you noticed any details like that at all? From the reports that I did,

and especially from like back, east, you know, somewhat like reddish brown, black, or white. We get those same here. But I think the only difference that I'm getting is the ones back east are a lot bigger than the ones here around our area, around the Chuska Mountain areas. Now, those ones out there in the mountains are pretty big. But the ones back east, I'm hearing their height start from. maybe seven to about nine feet, ten feet, way deep in the mountains back east.

Now around, like around here, I think the average height that runs along the river, I'm going to say between seven to maybe nine feet and then plus you get nine feet that goes a little bit taller up in the mountains. Those ones are not very muscular, the ones that are way deep in the mountains. The ones that are here along the rivers, a lot of them I hear, they're like straggie looking, kind of skinny, not very muscular. There's very few that are muscular along the river, but the ones that are really just like built. Like a lot of reports are those are out in the mountains. I found that sometimes reports vary from state to state where in some areas, it seems there's very,

very aggressive reports, some areas, maybe not so much. Have you found any similarities in how the Bigfoot are acting in the reports that you've investigated, or maybe it's all over the place? It's all over the place. Okay. Some are aggressive and some are among the natives, you know, like my relatives, you know, so many of the elderly people of the native, they, say to, you know, we just leave them alone.

You know, let them do what they need to do. You don't bother them. You just mind your own business and it'll do its own thing, you know. And, you know, they always say, you're not supposed to be talking about them. You just let them be. Sometimes it's just kind of frustrating because of how they're, some of them, how they're acting now. Why are they coming up to the houses now? Why all of a sudden, you know, they got the river.

They got deer's not down, you know, along the rivers or out in the mountains. They got food out. there. Why are they trying to, why are they coming down this way to the homestead now? You know, you know, I don't have an answer for that. You know, the food. And majority of it's food. Maybe two is they got too many people, hunters that want to try and kill one.

And they don't want to be around that. So now they're hanging around, you know, down this way along the rivers to hide. So, you know, because really nobody can't be hunting down at the river anyway down this way. Maybe that's why they feel safer this way. We do get some that's aggressive around the area, especially out in the mountains. You know, so they're, you know, I'm not going to say they're nice, anything like that, but hey, go make friends with them.

You know, they're pretty nice. You know, I just don't think so because there's going to be that one time, just that one time. I feel you, you know. Then what? You're like, okay, you said it was nice. No, no. you know, you don't know. I don't know. I don't want to say that. I know everything. It doesn't matter who you are or if you're some movie star or someone that has a lot of money. I don't care. You know, because that stuff is not going to say this thing attacks you. You know, be careful out there. You just don't know what these things because there's going to be that second when this thing will turn on you and then what.

if there were people that were wanting to you know look go to that area of Arizona that you have researched Bigfoot reports what kind of terrain and how do they have to be prepared to go to those areas like what would they need be really good shape

and never never wear tennis shoes Oh, yeah. We're a good hiking, but that can support your ankle because some of these terrains are really rough. And you'll do a lot of rock climbing and, you know, just be prepared and always tell someone at home where you're going to be at. This is Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush.

I mean, you could be very experienced hiker. But again, there's that split second that something could happen, that it'll blow your mind away. You know, you just have to be so alert and be careful. Always take someone with you. And for me, you know, I've always taken a sidearm just in case I'm not going to go out there just to go shoot it because I want to. I'm taking it from my protection and for whoever's going along with me. You know, you've got to protect them too.

Oh, yeah, for sure. You know, not big, but it's not the only thing that's out there that's running around out there. and whether it be New Mexico or Arizona or Colorado, you know, there's a lot of strange things running around out there in the mountains. So, you know, be really careful. You just got to be alert and always make sure you have light and enough light on you, flashlight. And, yeah, just be careful, super careful. There are any other interesting reports that you've investigated over the years to do with Arizona? that might come to mind?

They've gotten one where a family, as a matter of that, it's going to be about two years now, I believe, or two separate families. Okay, so what happened in August, a family towards, I believe it was in August, they went out pinion picking out there in Arizona in the mountains. And I think it was Black Rock or, I think it was Black Rock.

I'm trying to remember. But somewhere in that area in Arizona, family went, you know, picking. And if you don't know, what a Pignon is, that they're like little nuts. Shake them off the tree and, you know, they'll hoarse those, pick those.

So the family went out there and they had some of the kids with them. Well, the little girl was, I believe she's picking some or something. Well, this thing, this big foot came and tried to tick off with the little girl. Oh, wow. And the parents saw and they went after and they tried to chase that thing off.

And from what I understood was that they got the little girl's arm and like, you know, trying to pull her back. And they did get the old girl this thing. They got this. I don't know how they got this thing to release her arm. They got her back and they just packed her and they just left. They went straight to, I believe, to the police department. Naval Pene out there in Arizona and told them what had happened

and they just took a report down. I don't know what happened with that. But the following month, another family, they went out in Yon, and taken again. They said that same thing happened. But this time, this thing would try to take off with the little boy. Really?

And they fought with that thing, you know, to get the little boy. They did. They did. Took a little time. They said they'd go. about the boy back. And they did, you know,

they were, everybody's so shook up. You know, both families were. And the dad and everybody, they took off to the police department, told them what had happened. And the dad was really upset with the officers there. Because it was almost as if they weren't going to do anything about it.

You know, you let the people know what this thing was, you know, tried to do. And, you know, From what I heard from the family that they were really upset, really shook up about what had happened. And they've never gone back up to that area to go pick, you know, what they were doing, pinions and stuff like that. That has happened there.

Out towards, let's see here, the same Arizona, that area there. They've had a lot of howling and this thing running, some are close to the college out that way on the reservation. I forget the name that the college out that way, I believe. But yeah, they've had some activity out that way. Wow. There was another one. Well, this one was in New Mexico.

Somewhere down south, I had gotten a call. Now, this one is not, you know, because it was in the area, too, this, you know, in this area. But the family also had mentioned that, hey, there's something else out there. I said, what are you talking about? And

she's going, my my uncle seeing what they're calling, they're calling a lizard man. I'm like, what? Yeah. They're like, there's

this thing that looks like a lizard and it walks on two days. It's huge. they said this thing's out there too. So I'm like, oh, wow. So I'm supposed to head that way here probably, almost not until summertime. When I get to fear that everything is okay,

they go that way. And they said they had found a cave down that way. They believe that's where this thing is and they want to meet to go set up some cameras and stuff like that. So that's probably what I'll do. And check into that. So I'm like, oh, wow. lizard man. I'm like, okay, that's not the weird thing I've heard.

There was a, oh, what do you call it? Where in a family, a guy had, they said that they had a guy out somewhere out there in Arizona, said Black Mesa. It's not Black Rock. Oh, I can't think of the name. But apparently a guy shot one, that's what I'm hearing. And this was like, what, six years ago, seven years ago that a guy shot one and had some friends of his or brothers or someone help them load this thing up and you know they were going to go turn it in or I don't know what they were going to do with it but one of the guys started kind of bragging about it from what I understood and the word got out so fast and they said within about 15, 20 minutes from where

this guy had the body in his truck all of a sudden they said that they guys and uh he was a black van all the windows tended everything and these guys you know they they took that body and they took their phones and they just erased every picture that they have wow and they said that they closed that area off and they straight up every blood that was where this guy shot it I mean they they said they just swept that area and cleaned everything out. That's intense. Yeah. Yeah, they took all the blood, everything.

I was like, wow. They said they were here within about 20 minutes after the guy was bragging about it. They hauled everything off. That's crazy. And I was like, wow. So I was like, wow. So, you know, that's one thing you don't do. You come across something like that.

Don't brag you know, post. Yeah. Keep it quiet. Yeah. I know. Come on, people. People do not know how to be quiet, that's for sure. No.
