And then my friend, he had finally something must have just clicked in her head that this wasn't something she wanted to see. And she screamed. And when she screamed, they both turned and looked at us. And then she just took off on her bike. And I kind of stared back at him for a couple minutes.

And then I said, that's probably a good idea. And then I took off on my bike. And we, of course, you know, being 11, 12-year-old kids, we were all excited. And I told my kids. dad and he she went and told her mom and dad and my dad and her dad and my uncle went back my uncle said it smelled really foul kind of like a musty basement kind of earthy hi there you're listening to the bigfoot society podcast and i'm jeremiah byron every week i talk to individuals who have experienced

And Bigfoot Society, I've taken far too much of your time so far. So let's get on with the show.

All right, Bigfoot Society, we've got the privilege of talking to Mike from Illinois. He just contacted me via Facebook. with a very interesting thing that happened to him back in 1977. How's it going today, Mike? Good, good, just, you know, trying not to melt. Oh, yeah. I hear that out in Iowa. I mean, what, we're getting up to like 105 today.

Oof. Yeah, the next three days are supposed to be heat indexes of 111. I know. I'm hoping it gets a little bit cooler. I'm going out into the woods in Iowa this end of this week. So I definitely hope that it gets a little bit cooler as well. But we will see. But Mike, I'm guessing hopefully back in the time frame of when your story takes place,

I think it may have been a little bit cooler back then. Well, it was a warm summer night. It was in August of 77. And it was, you know, it was, as I recall, it's probably, you know, 70, 80 degrees, typical late summer day. But, yeah, it was, we were, it was evening. So we were riding our bikes, me and my friend, or my friend and I. And it's a really small town that, it wasn't really town, it's more of a, I guess you'd clarify it kind of the village. The town was kind of three miles.

north of where i lived and the town was washburn and i lived in a little village called woolburn and uh so anyway we had a railroad that ran through there and um it was bracketed on uh on both sides one side was an old uh oil refinery pumping station they used to pump oil up the line and loaded on the rail cars. And it was on, it was abandoned as an oil pumping station and a farmer owned it and used it for his animals and stuff. We played in it as kids. And on the other side of the tracks was Crow Creek.

And it had a bridge that always played around and on and under and everything. And we were just riding our bikes that night and came across the bridge and, that's when we kind of noticed there was something strange down along the bank of the creek. So it turned out to be to what we saw, it turned out to be two bipedal creatures. one was probably uh eight maybe eight and a half feet tall and the other one was shorter

probably five and a half maybe six two different colors larger one was really a dark kind of a chestnut brown color and this was right at it was just before dusk so we saw plenty of light but and the other one was kind of a

a blondeish color the smaller one was and they were um at the edge of the creek uh splashing in the water either i i mean i never thought about it this time but as i look back on it they might have been washing themselves they might have been trying to catch a fish because there were catfish and bluegill in that creek and uh they were just uh they're going through the emotions of being in the water and didn't even notice us because we were probably, oh, we were up on the bridge working down at them. And I'd probably estimate we were probably 200, maybe 100, maybe 100, 200 feet away from them. So we could, we could see them.

and detail, you know, we could tell that they were fur covered. And we also could tell that there was lighter patches around the facial and hand area. And we watched them probably for a good couple, three minutes. And then my friend, he finally something must have just clicked in her head that this wasn't something she wanted to see. And she screamed. And when she screamed, they both turned and looked at us.

And then she just took off on her bike. And I kind of stared back at him for a couple minutes. And then I said, that's probably a good idea. And then I took off on my bike. And we, of course, you know, being 11, 12 year old kids, we were all excited. And I told my,

dad and he she went and told her mom and dad and my dad and her dad and my uncle went back and when they went back we stayed up on the bridge but they went down uh to the bank and um my uncle said it smelled really foul kind of like a musty basement kind of earthy smell uh they did find tracks um my dad said they were either I can't remember he said they were four-toed I think

he said there were four-toed possibly five-toed in the mud and also found some pressed down tall grass around the area and it was right next to an old dam

that used to keep the water so They could pump it to the machinery to keep it cool while I was pumping the oil. Because he's swim there as kids and stuff. And so the water kind of started at, you know, normal bank levels of probably a few inches. And then slowly descended about 12 feet or so around the dam or it was deeper. But, yeah, my uncle and my dad and my friend's dad, they all confirmed there was. something down there and then of course you know the they started to try to come up with

explanations or stuff and i think uh the funniest suggestion was that it was a three-toed sloth which we know are extremely indigenous to central Illinois um so uh other than that we never we never saw anything again um uh there were other members that uh uh that uh we never saw anything again um uh there were other members of the where i live people who live there there were hunters and such and they they said they'd smell things and they heard things and um but uh yeah i mean that was that was pretty much hit it stuck with them in the whole life it was uh you know um a pretty amazing thing and it was during a time when that was a lot of that type of stuff was going on He had Momo the Monster and you had the Murphy'sboro Monster and, you know, the big Boogie Creek movie and the unknown.

But, you know, I was a little kid and it was interesting to me, but I never put any real thought into it that these could be real. Even though Bogie Creek didn't scare to hell out of me, that movie still scares me. But it wasn't like we were thinking about it. It wasn't in the forefront of our box. Oh, yeah, there's big, big foot creatures around. I mean, it wasn't just something, you know, might be talking passing or whatever. So it wasn't like we were blowing on it.

And I really don't think that anybody would have gone to the trouble of dressing up in some crazy costume on a hot August day and to hang out by a creek hoping they'd be seen, you know. So I kind of, you know, dismiss that, the hoax angle of it. But, yeah, I mean, that's the whole, that's the whole story. It was quick. You know, I mean, the whole thing probably lasted from the beginning end to when we saw it to when our parents went down there and everything.

Probably less than an hour. But it was a pretty amazing experience. and like I said it's stuck with my whole life and I have no problem talking about it I've never had any problem talking about it I've

you know I believe there's things out there we have no idea our concept of what's all out there and so I like to think that there are things like that out there it makes life interesting you know what I mean

Oh absolutely and that is it's such an interesting story like a small anecdotal story, but a huge part of your life. And just for context for listeners who aren't aware of that area, Illinois,

that Washburn, Wilburn area is northeast of Peoria, correct? Yes. And it's about, it's about 20, 30 minute drive away from Sparland, Illinois. Uh-huh.

Yeah, right, yeah, we're right between, Metamora and Lakin And then You found Sparland Henry Always in probably a good 35, 40 minute drive with each other Very interesting

When you were looking at the creatures Did you get Did you get a good look at the face Or did you notice anything about the facial makeup Of the two creatures that you saw? They were definitely, you know, when I was, when she had already taken off on her bike, and they were kind of looking at me and I was looking at them, which probably was only 20, 25, 30 seconds maybe. But I could definitely see that there was no fur around the facial area, kind of a thicker brow, a flatter nose, pretty pronounced.

pre-pronounced bottom jaw, and that was the bigger one. Because I think that's what I focused on was the bigger one, because, you know, I figured if anything was going to jump up and try to get me, it was going to be the bigger one. And the smaller one, the same thing. It had, you know, no fur around the face. It was a lighter-complected face. Didn't see the eyes, didn't see any teeth or anything like that. But from about that distance, I could make out, you know, the basic face.

structure. I mean, it wasn't, it wasn't obstructed by any hair or anything hanging in their face or anything like that. I definitely got the feeling that it was an intelligent exchange. I didn't feel like I was looking at, you know, an animal, or strictly an animal. I mean, I felt like they were aware of my presence and I was aware of their presence. and that was kind of, that was kind of an creepy but kind of neat thing. When I thought about it later that it didn't come off as, I was just looking at a couple animals. It was like two, you know, I want to sound, I don't know,

two sentient beings, like we knew that each of us were like, I don't know, guess, you know, real or, you know, we kind of think, I think I understood that they were something I'd never seen, before. But I never got to feeling they didn't belong. I didn't mean they were, you know, there. And I didn't get the feeling I was threatened or anything like that. You know, and then that's when I decided, well, you know, maybe it is a good idea to get to go out of here and go tell somebody. But I never felt threatened. I never thought I was in danger. It was almost like they were as intrigued by me as I was them.

You know what I mean? But yeah, I mean, the facial makeup was pretty symmetrical, eyes, nose, mouth were supposed to be. But like I said, it had pronounced brow, deep-set eyes, kind of a flatter and broader nose, and a fairly prominent jaw. We'll be back with more Bigfoot Society after these words from our sponsors. It always happens right before the whistle. There's a little voice that says, what if I mess up?

What if I'm not ready? I see a whole highlight reel of everything I don't want to happen. Missed shots, turnovers, letting my team down. And for a second, there's doubt. But then, I realize I've done enough to be where I'm at. The early mornings, the extra reps, the days. I wanted to quit and didn't. So I smile.

Self-doubt is natural, but my smile is a reminder that I'm resilient. To put more smiles out into the world, Colgate has supported female athletes for over 50 years with the Colgate Women's Games.

They say everything happens for a reason, but I see.

suspect. Everything happens for a Reese's. Like this commercial break, did you need 15 seconds away for music or 15 seconds to eat or Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a Reese's. Was it making any sounds at the time that you saw it or did you hear any strange sounds around that same time area? No, the only sounds we heard were the splatching. that they were doing in the creek. Birds were still chirping, crickets, cicadas, whatever.

No, no sounds that didn't make any grunts or anything like that. Although that was probably, you know, one of the things that people said they'd heard stuff while hunting or out in the woods or down by the railroad bridge by the creek, not the bridge we were on, but there's another bridge. a couple guys that they heard

kind of like a screaming kind of noise they wrote off as a bobcat because bobcat screamed but no we didn't hear anything all the only sounds like I said were the insects and the little splashing noises

that were making in the water do you remember anything about the arms or the hands of the creature the arms were the longer they weren't like, you know, big, cartoonish, exaggerated lengths.

I would probably say there are probably, how when we stand, I would probably say maybe a half to a full hand link past the knee. But they were definitely a longer on. A shorter

inseam or leg length, they were very torso driven the torsos were very long I mean that's where the height came from the head was I would say

a kind of cone shape but not prominent not like a big egg egg head but I think just a higher forehead to accommodate the brow and but it was

kind of a conish curvature to the top of the head. Couldn't see any ears. The lack of fur around the pads of the hands that look like. The hands look like normal hands. I mean, it looked like five digits. And I always said that the fur coming down the leg look like bell bottoms, the way it just kind of, kind of went down and kind of covered their feet.

So you really didn't see the feet. But I would say the fur was fairly long on the big brown one. The small blonde one, the hair was a bit shorter. The body was the same proportion, a little less broad in the shoulder and hip area. But overall, I figured it was either a juvenile. And this is my, these are my thoughts later as I grew up. But, you know, I think it was either a juvenile or it could have been a mate.

I don't know. But it was definitely a smaller statured creature than the large one. Over the years in that area, have you kind of mentioned a little bit so far that you've heard maybe hunters experiencing things? Have there been any more specific reports, though, that you've heard of? of not since I moved away but we have had had instances in this area since that time frame another creature sighting is the coal Cohollow Road creature and that happened I think in the 70s if they've had subsequent sightings that's an east Peoria and Coal Hollow Road is kind of a

secluded wooded road in East Peoria, which is a cross river from Peoria. And then we've had sightings in Farmer City, which is near Bloomington, where I'm at now. Funks Grow, which is close to Bloomington also. So yeah, Central Illinois, we've had, you know, people have said they've seen Bigfoot type creatures, and like I said being 11 or 12 years old there might have been other uh sightings and stuff because like I said

that was a big deal back then but I never paid attention to it I mean I might have heard people talking about or whatever but as I got older and I think this sighting oh what happened to me sparked my interest in this stuff so I I've kind of I've kind of uh you know become a sort of a

pseudo student of the paranormal. I love cryptozoology and all that stuff. You know, like I said growing up, that was a big part of my childhood. I mean, you couldn't throw a stick without a documentary about blockness monster or a beauty triangle or Bigfoot or UFOs or whatever. It was just really big in that time plan. And it didn't, like I said, it didn't occupy us. We didn't sit around and go, oh, gee, I wonder, you know, wherever she a Bigfoot or

I won't see UFO. We just, you know, it was just part of growing up. And so, yeah, I mean, this area has had, I'd probably say within a probably 50 to 100 miles square area from where I grew up, there were Peoria, East Peoria, you know, places like that all the way near Bloomington, which is no 35 miles north east of Peoria. that's where a lot of sightings took place too. So, yeah, we've always had every once in a while to pop up in the newspaper. Matter of fact, I think the last recent one

was, I want to say 2019, 2018 over in Punks Grove, which is about 20 miles north of me. So, yeah, I mean, it's it's something

that I heard about grown up and it's still like I said it still pops up today. Something I found really interesting after you had contacted me. I took a few minutes to do a few searches and I did see there is actually a reported citing in near Sparland, Illinois in 1974. So that would have been a few years before your citing. And that's just on the other side of the that creek, I believe is where Sparland is, right? Yeah.

If you go follow the creek down, it's more north of where I am. Sparland, Lake, and Henry, like I said, that area there. But, yeah, I didn't know about that one. I didn't know about no one in Sparland. If you look up Marshall County, Illinois on BFRO.net, and it looks like a nighttime sighting around deer hunting season. It's kind of interesting. Who knows what's in the part of the BFRO that's not public either.

But I found it interesting how you mentioned the Coal Hollow Road creature of East Peoria, Illinois. That's the first I've heard of that. Would you be able to share any more information about that? Just off the cup. Like I said, I think it was back. the first Coal Hollow creature sightings were back in the 70s it made the paper it was a big deal because a bunch of guys went out with guns hunting for it and somebody got shot during the search for the Coal Hollow monster

and then as recently as I want to say in the 2000s a lady said that something came out and grabbed the back bumper of her car and lifted it off the ground and eventually dropped her car and she got out of there and she attributed that to the Coal Hall Monster. So it pops up occasionally around here in a newspaper.

That's really interesting. Just another mystery to add on to the list. There are some crazy things that happen in the Midwest as we both know when you start digging. If listeners have heard more about the Coal Hollow, creature of East Peoria. I'd love to hear about it. Please contact me,

Bigfoot Society at gmail.com. I might do a little bit more digging myself. So I put on my skeptic hat for a second as well. And I just said, well, maybe it was just something that escaped from the prairie wild animal park in Peoria. I don't think that would be the case, because I'm pretty sure it's always been

North American animals, and I don't think they've had great apes in that particular wild animal park at any time. You know, wildlife prairie park has always been coyotes, buffalo, deer, occasional bobcats. It's really nice, it's really nice area out there. It's, I'd probably say that,

is just as nice little place as Starb Rock is too where it's another nice wooded area. And Starb Rock itself has a pretty good, weird history involved in how it got its name and everything. But yeah, yeah, I don't think any bigfoot wander around with the Buffalo is wildlife fair park. Yeah, probably not. Although you never know, but I'm sure we would have heard something by now.

if they were starting to see Bigfoot over there. Yeah. It would probably upset the Buffalo. Yeah, no doubt. This has been a very fun chat about an interesting time in your life, Mike. Thank you for contacting me today so that we could chat for a little bit. If you have any other things that come up or that you hear of, it sounds like there's a lot of squatchy stuff that happens in that area, Illinois.

please don't be afraid to reach out again. All right. I certainly will, Jeremiah. Like I said, my son and I both are kind of pseudo students of this stuff around here. We always, I think it's probably because he's my son

and I, you know, you impart a lot of your stuff on your kids and he's very interested in that stuff too. And if anything pops up around Funk's Grove or the area, Peoria or whatever, I'll certainly snip it out of the newspaper. and if I can come up with anything, links or whatever to send you down the path of some archive stuff,

I'll definitely do that. You guys do a great job on your podcast. I was turned on to it by kind of a chain from a Croftonaut podcast, the people I talk to him through that, and then Spooks and Preachs when they started their own podcast. I'm really good friends with a few of them, and they turn me on to you guys, and I've been listening to you guys ever since, and you do a great job.

I think you're, I think you're one of the better podcasts because of the way you do approach it. You know, you're very, you're very, what's the best word, non-judgmental, and you're not very opinionated, you know what I mean, about,

you just let the stories unfold, and you look at all the facts and all the angles, you let people make their own decisions, is just the best way to handle that stuff. So I think you guys doing a great job, and I appreciate you letting me talk my story. And it's really good to share something that happened to me,

oh, my God, 45 years ago, you know, and that somebody cares enough about it to want to hear it. So I thank you very much, care about it. Here at Bigfoot Society, our goal is to provide a platform for those that have encountered Bigfoot, to share their encounter in a safe and respected environment. But we need to hear your story.

It's been 20 years, and it's time that you get this off your chest, and then you can get some well-deserved for rest because I know you haven't been sleeping. I understand what you're going through

and I appreciate every one of you listening. It always happens right before the whistle. There's a little voice that says, what if I mess up? What if I'm not ready?
