And now let's get on with the show.
All right, Bigfoot Society.
You've got the privilege of talking to Mike Scott tonight.
He's an individual that's had a few interesting things happen to him down in Missouri regarding Bigfoot.
But how's it going, Mike?
Hey, it's going real good.
I just appreciate you having me on.
I'm looking forward to the evening.
Absolutely. Well, Mike, let's get right into it. I know you've got some interesting things to share. So I'm going to go ahead and give the floor right over to you and share with us what you've experienced so far, if you don't mind.
Well, my journey with this started in December of 2019. That's as far as the journey of finding my first pieces of Bigfoot evidence.
And it kind of goes back before then.
I'm 58 years old, so I'd have been 54 probably at that point, somewhere, somewhat around there.
But I remember at age 12, checking out a book from the library and reading it called On the Track of Bigfoot.
And that stuff, you know, that was published probably in the mid-70s.
So that kind of covered things up to that point.
they knew, Carl Crewe or Jerry
Crewe in the footprints,
Patterson Gimlin, things like that.
And I thought, this is kind of cool.
It's a cool subject.
There's probably something to this,
but it seems like everything is up in the Pacific Northwest.
And I just left it at that.
Then you get busy.
You're playing sports in high school and
going to college and getting on with your family and
things like that.
Totally ignored and forgot about anything
Bigfoot and never crossed my mind again.
until these cable TV shows started coming out.
You know, Monster Quest.
That was one of the first ones I started watching,
you know, finding Bigfoot.
And, you know, you watch those shows,
and they're made for TV,
their Hollywood entertainment.
But then you're thinking,
that everybody's lying about this stuff.
There's got to be something to this.
You know, these guys really getting on TV
and making these stories up.
And so had an interest piqued.
And then when my youngest of two kids, my son, when he got through playing college baseball,
and we were just a sports family, we were, you know, daughter swim meets his baseball games,
you know, all that stuff got done.
He wanted to continue to have a hobby that we could do together.
And he suggested hunting.
and fishing and things, you know, we didn't do a lot of that because we were always doing
the team sports and things.
So I said, yeah, cool.
Let's do that.
And in my county, Cape Girardo County, Cape Girada, Missouri is where I live.
We're about 100 miles south of St. Louis on the Mississippi River.
A big conservation area in the north part of the county.
I said, well, that's public land.
Let's go up there and get the hunt licenses and, you know, do a little shooting.
up there and check it out for some squirrel hunting and came across a set of footprints,
December 2019.
These footprints were 17 and a half inches long.
They were about eight inches at the widest part.
They had about a five foot stride length.
We saw about four or five steps.
We saw right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot.
You could clearly make that out, toes.
and it just floored me that I was looking at that.
And my son even knew what we were looking at.
You know, you just, you do the math.
Who has feet that big in December, in Missouri?
It's going to be walking barefoot.
Nobody.
We're both, he's 6'6, I'm 6.5.
We both wear a size 15 shoes, and it just swallowed our boots up.
And I'm like, it's got to be Bigfoot.
But who would have thought right here?
Who would have thought right here in Cape Girrano County?
I never would have thought that.
Never would have believed that.
And fast forward, that was December 2019.
Well, what happened in March of 2020?
COVID.
They shut everything down.
They closed my work down.
I work at a high school.
I teach high school.
I'm an athletic director in an area of high school.
They closed us down.
You couldn't go anywhere.
Everything's closed.
They can't keep me from going to the woods.
So I started going to that same conservation area over and over again and looking around.
And every time I would go, I would see more Bigfoot evidence.
And then bring a friend, you know, get a couple friends involved.
There's three or four of us now doing this.
and we're going up there.
You go up there and then after a while, as you see the evidence, you hear the whoops.
You know, I guess if you're there enough times, they kind of recognize who you are.
And then they start reaching out and making some kind of communications to let you know where they're at.
You know, this one's up on that ridge.
That one's up on that ridge.
Hey, I got three of them watching me right now.
I better get out of here.
Get to the car, leave.
Curiosity, come back.
after two or three times of that, I'm thinking, okay, they're not going to hurt me.
Or they would have done it.
So you just keep doing a little bit more.
And then we decided, hey, let's a couple primitive campsites up there.
Let's camp out.
Pitch of tents.
Stay overnight.
And I remember the first few times we did that,
you get all these you know and we did that we bought all the spotlights the the game cams
night visions all that stuff set up a perimeter game cams and we'd get nothing and we get nothing
but we knew they were there because we'd hear them in the distance and then as i started
getting into these social media
Bigfoot networks.
You hear other people talk about
maybe they've tried a little bit differently.
So I told one of my buddies one time
let's just put all the cameras up.
Let's just put all that up.
Let's just us.
And whatever comes in.
Nothing lightwise but a campfire.
And it was then
when they started paying us closer visits.
And that's when we started having some real cool moments and some interactions.
And, you know, you communicate back and forth with one.
You know, there's one that I got to where when I would go out there for about a six-month period.
We would actually verbally communicate back and forth with each other.
I think it was a female.
She'd stay in the tree line.
She wouldn't come out and expose herself.
But we had that verbal communication going.
And that went on once a month,
about six straight months.
And the communication would last sometimes 10, 15 minutes.
And then, you know, she'd go on her way.
And so we had some real neat experiences.
And still, later on, I'll share my latest experience, which is just awesome, but
the, up there.
And then I got to know some folks.
that had some stuff going on on their property two counties away and started working with them.
And that's just been in the last year in two or three months that we've been doing that.
And I actually had my first good siding at their place.
My first good siding was back in December this year.
And that's when you, that's when, okay, everything that you've studied, everything that you've interacted with,
everything that you've dealt with in four years now has finally come to tradition where I'm
sitting there looking in the eye of a Sasquatch at about 40 yards and no mistake in what you're
looking at. And we probably looked at each other for about 15 seconds. And I never felt any fear
because I've been waiting for this for four years. You know, I've been in amongst them for four
years. And plus we were on the private property where the family has a relationship with them.
So I felt like, you know, this is cool. This is so cool. You've exposed yourself to me and let me see you.
And I think this is so cool. I just kind of told him that. And after about 15 seconds, he just kind of
turned around and mosey back into the woods. He probably had to be about 10 foot tall. The head and the
shoulders were so massive. I'm 6'5, a little north of 300 pounds. And there was just, it's
It were three times of me at the head and shoulders.
It was really, really crazy.
So I have a few questions about the whole.
It sounds almost like a habituation type deal going on.
There are a few counties over from where you're at, which I want listeners to realize that.
So Cape Girardo, Missouri is in the southeast corner.
So you're very close to southern Illinois.
little Egypt area, correct?
We're real close to the little Egypt area.
The place that we research in North Cape County, the conservation area, is really right
across the Mississippi River from the Big Muddy River.
And everybody has heard of the Big Muddy Monster in Southern Illinois.
So, you know, the big muddy where we go, it's about 20 miles north of Cape, the north side
of the county.
And the big muddy is just across the...
Mississippi River and then we're in the Missouri side.
And, you know, there's plenty of, plenty of Sasquatches up there on both sides of the
river.
So the, that's the other thing I found out is there, there are a lot more of these out
than people can imagine.
Exactly.
Just in my four years.
years where we go in North Cape County, just North Cape County, London, that one conservation
area, I've seen every size footprint increment from 10 inches to 24 inches.
I've seen 10 inch footprints, 11 inch, 12 inch, 13, 14, all the way up to 24 inches.
And I can take anybody, there's two places up there.
I can take anybody up there on any given day and almost guarantee we'll find footprints because it's travel ways for it.
Wow.
That's incredible.
So the habituation area.
So I'm curious right off the bat.
So what kind of you said that they are having some kind of interactions or is it a,
it a gifting type situation or what type of interactions is this family having with the
Sasquatch on this property? Okay, those guys, those guys have got a, they've got a farm,
they've got a little, you know, they grow some produce, they've got some greenhouses.
They've, um, and it started with them that the Sasquatch was coming and raiding the
greenhouses. They didn't know what it was at first. And they thought,
people were doing that.
Well, we're going to get those people.
You know, we're going to set traps.
You know, we're going to, well, then they find out it's not people.
Or it could be people, depending on how you view the Sasquatch.
But they, so, and one of the young men with the family,
kind of reached out of one of the Facebook groups, like, hey, I got some stuff going on here.
and a couple of Carter Bouchard contacted him.
I got with them and they built a relationship with them and made my first visit out on their property about a year ago, January.
And I suggested in addition to what they have, because they learned to share their vegetation with the Sasquatch family that's on their.
And I kind of suggest it.
I said, look, I said you've got two options here.
You can run them off, and they could turn it right back around and make your life miserable.
Very much so.
Or you could learn to live with them.
And the neat thing was that they were, that the Sasquatch wasn't taking all their stuff.
They were just taking portions of it anyway.
And they still had a fruitful farm.
And then I suggested, in addition to what they,
they're doing, we set up a gifting bucket and try a gifting program. So, and then we did, we started that last
January, and I'd just get the bucket and put the bucket up there at the edge of the woods
there and, you know, put apples in it and peanut butter, jarred peanut butter, you know, things of that nature.
and started getting some minores.
Of course, they really enjoyed the apples,
and they didn't get apples at the farm.
They enjoyed the peanut butter.
But they would take, here's the things we started noticing.
Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.
Let's go, girls.

They would take the peanut butter jar, take it back to the camp or wherever
as they stayed.
And then when the peanut butter jar was empty and done,
they'd bring it back and set it back in the bucket.
And we'd put some of those little sweet and salty granola bars on there.
They would tear open the wrapper, take them out of the wrapper,
and then they would either put the wrapper back in the bucket,
or they'd stick it up there in a nearby tree limb just so we could see it,
so they're not littering the forest.
And then we come back up and check either them or me.
we'd gather up the wrappers.
They're all right there and, you know, and properly trash it.
They leave little glyphs for us.
And one glyph was in the shape of a human stick figure.
And had very positive interactions.
Of course, they were, I'd go up once every three or four weeks to fill the bucket and visit them.
And they entered, you know, I wasn't seeing it.
them they would see them they had the interactions with them they worked the farm every day and one of the
i think the oldest kid in the bigfoot group would would and he was probably about seven foot tall
he would come down and and shadow him and watch and work the farm and curious and you know they're
working the farm and looking over their shoulder and there's you know um junior bigfoot or whatever
you want to call him you know about 20 yards away watching them and and this kind of stuff went on
them and they got to where they were fairly comfortable with each other and and um but when i would
go up i wouldn't see him i'd see all the evidence and then and then went up did a couple
overnights like just a couple of times spent the night up but still didn't hear heard them didn't
still but then finally it was december when i was filling the bucket up in december is when
finally the one exposed itself to where i could see him
one of them in the in that family.
And the,
one of the farm owners had seen him up there in the woods that was talking to him.
And I said, do you see?
Yeah, I'm finishing the bucket.
And she said, yeah, she says, come over and take a look.
And I went over and took a look.
And sure enough.
And she said, there were two other, the younger ones with him.
But they had gone into hiding by the time I got over there.
And he was, you know, we just sat there and look, you know, about 40 yards away.
And I said some real nice things to him.
said, I hope you appreciate, you know, the treats and, you know, there for you guys.
And he just kind of swayed that head back and forth a little bit.
And about 15 seconds just turned, you just kind of walk back in wherever the young ones went, I guess, following it back into the woods.
So I guess he was coming to say, hey, you know, thanks for the, thanks for the treats.
I don't know.
So, like, there's been so many years that you were getting into the subject and then,
You finally have a visual, you know, citing, which everyone wants to have that.
And, you know, how did how did that affect you emotionally during that moment?
What were you feeling inside when you're like, I'm actually finally able to look at one?
I just felt, I mean, my feeling was this is so cool.
You know, and I have, at this point, it's been a four-year journey for me to get to
this point. Now, I had seen one evening that I know it was a big foot, but I couldn't just, I mean,
it looked like a real dark shadow hopping from behind one tree to behind another tree that about
25 yards during the evening hours when it was almost, you know, pitch dark. And I could see that.
And then another time
Over in Madison County
At the farm
I saw one peeking around the tree
At about 70 yards
Just kind of
You see the head pop
I didn't even recognize it
I saw the start seeing the movement
Because they pointed out
Yeah there he is up there
There he is up there where I don't see anything but tree
And I'll see you see the
Boop
Like a little bulge coming out
Going back in
But
Never good
exciting to that moment.
And it was that moment, I thought this is just so cool.
You know.
Was there anything that surprised you about what you were looking at?
Any details that were like, wow, this is a lot.
This is different than what I was expecting than what I've seen in pictures.
I didn't realize, you know, they call them Bigfoot for a reason.
I've seen the prints up to 24 inches.
this one's prints were about 20 inches that I've seen multiple times, which probably about 10
foot tall.
And massive size of that head, no neck going down into the shoulders, and the conical
or the head was very exposed to, I just didn't realize the width and the size were just that
big. It's just, you know, even though you hear, well, 10 foot tall, 800 pounds or whatever,
it just seeing it brings that the light that these things are really, really huge.
And that's what, you know, no flab on them at all, you know, everything is just solid build,
body build. So that's interesting. So you, you know, I guess go into that a little bit more.
So I'm guessing there was some hair on the creature.
But are you saying that you could see things, the seat under the hair as well?
No, because it was in the shade of the forest.
In about 40, I could see the dark hair.
And I could see some of the facial features.
I could see the eyes and the nose that.
And you can see it was kind of didn't have a lot of hair on that area.
But the rest of it, you just see, because he was on all fours at the time,
and I could see him from about to chest up.
So I didn't really see the legs or the length of the arms,
but even on all fours, he was almost looking at me in the eye, and I'm six foot five.
And when he turned around and started, he stayed on all fours.
I could see the back of, I could see down.
he had a little silverish spot on his back, which they always told me.
They called him silver back because of that.
And I could notice that.
Is it lightened up in the backside as he went in behind the.
So that was, but it was just, it was just so cool looking at that.
And I didn't think, I thought, well, I just observed him.
I didn't walk in toward him.
I didn't, you know, some people may have run.
toward him to try to get a better look.
I thought, I'm going to respect the situation and appreciate the situation.
What's the closest you think they've gotten to Silverback on that property since there's a
habituation situation going on?
The closest they got to the Silverback is probably that close.
It's the kid, his kid.
The one that's about, he's probably, he's probably about eight foot tall by now, but he's that,
they've actually had physical contact with him as far as reaching out, tapping the shoulder and things like that.
He's, he gets out and acting with him and is playful with him, but, you know, the, um, so.
So, okay, that, that's, that's actually something that doesn't come up.
I can't.
I can probably count the number of times that's come up on this show on one hand.
Right.
So you're saying there's situations in that where they are actually touching the juvenile, like, tapping it on the shoulder?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like he'll come up if he's, if my buddy who's working the greenhouse, he's a young adult, he's probably close to 30 years old.
But when he's working a greenhouse, the juvenile, sometimes if he's getting wood or, you know, he'll come up, sneak up behind him, tap him on the shoulder and then jump back about six or seven feet.
He'll turn around.
There he is.
Oh, sorry.
I misunderstood.
You're saying the juvenile is tapping him on the shoulder.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But the juvenile is about seven to eight foot tall, though.
He's a good size, you know, like a teenager.
And he'll be inside the greenhouse and working the greenhouse at night.
The juvenile will open the greenhouse door and walk in and, you know, kind of look at him and watch him, you know.
And so he's had very, very close interactions.
So there's like there's two ways you could take that.
I mean, if I'm pretending I'm the guy in the greenhouse, it could either be, well, he's,
messing around. He's trying to prank me.
You know, he's having a good time. Or he's
saying, hey,
I could take you out if I wanted to.
But I'm just going to do a little
tap on the shoulder, but
I'm here, you know?
Man.
Probably a little bit of both.
You know, I don't know.
The, you know,
they had
one particular day
as he described it.
He was in the greenhouse.
as he's come to exit the greenhouse,
the juvenile was holding the door closed.
Like, you know, somebody's prank you,
they're going to hold the door closed
and not let you out or not let you in.
He says, I'm like, you know,
he says, so I give it a real hard push
and I catch him off guard
and I pop the door open,
and then he slams it shut
and smashes my finger with it.
He goes, and I start screaming
because I'm in pain.
He runs off.
I go take care of my feet.
finger.
And then from the creek bottom,
the other, we called it fools gold
where kids, those old rocks that had to look
like the quartz on there and stuff like that.
He deliveries him a quartz rock is a,
like an, I'm sorry gift
the next day.
Really?
Yeah.
Speaking of rocks,
so you have quartz in the area.
Do you have any other
big deposit types of
or big deposits of certain rocks?
Mostly it's a big limestone area.
Okay.
Okay, cool.
Not like granite.
No, then you got your,
there was a granite,
probably over where they're at.
There is some granite over in Madison County where they're at.
They're about,
they're about 65 or so miles to the northwest of me
where these guys are at.
But the,
and there is granite over there,
over in our area.
And closer to the river, it's mostly just limestone.
And so they're over kind of in the foothills of the Mark Twain National Forest and the Missouri Ozarks over there.
They're kind of on the eastern edge of the Missouri Ozarks.
I was just looking.
I was like, I've got to see where Madison County is.
And I was like, oh, Mark Twain National Forest.
Yeah.
Yep.
Yep, that's it.
The, and then where we're at,
is closer, you know, you go up and down that Mississippi River,
and there's going to be Sasquatch activity all up and down through there on those bottoms.
Why do you think that there's so much activity in this corner of Missouri slash Illinois?
I just think the river bottoms with the thick forest, you know,
you got Shawnee National Forest over there on the southern Illinois side.
And then all the tributaries going into the river up and down the river, the creeks and the sloughs and the smaller rivers.
It gives any type of predatory animal a perfect habitat.
You got water source, you got food source, you got plenty of thick woods covered.
And it's a perfect habitat for, you know, if you're living off the land.
Absolutely.
Plenty of vegetation, plenty of game.
You know, the hunt eight.
You know, you mentioned earlier, so you're in the area of Murphy's Borough then?
Yeah, we're right.
Murphy's Borough is probably across the river in 30 miles to the north, maybe, something like that.
It's such a fun story from 1973.
Oh, yeah.
Listeners, if you don't know about the big muddy monster, there's a great,
Doc out. There's a great documentary out there. There's a great book. Now there's a festival. I got to get down there. I mean, I can drive down there. It's probably seven, eight hours from where I'm at in Iowa. But I hear it's a great one. But have you ever, you know, I would, man, if I was down there, I'd be like, what if, like, the same Bigfoot is somehow connected to, like, the stuff I'm researching? That'd be wild, man.
Yeah, you know, are they the same?
To me, I think there's just different groups, different clans.
I think they've got clans over there, they've got clans over here.
Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.
Let's go, girls.
So you've been taking one of these little pink pills daily?
Yeah.
And you feel.
Uh-huh.
And more.

Huh.

Oh, get ready, girl.
Ooh, la, la.

I don't think they're using the river and go back and forth or anything.
But they could be.
I don't know.
But there's just, to me, the evidence shows that there's plenty of them
in certain areas.
Now, and I, another spot over in Madison County that I've had some activities is another
person's private property, and that's, you know, we sat there.
He and I sat there one night, and, you know, we had the eye shine of three of them, you know,
within 30 yards of us and just watching that.
You know, somebody told me.
a few years ago, just you don't have to go treaching through the woods, just build your fire,
enjoy each other's company. Their curiosity, they'll come and check you out. And that has worked for me
better than anything as far as getting the interactions. Absolutely. And so let's say you were moving,
move into a new area and you were you were like you know i got to find the places what are the first
steps that you would take to try to figure out like what are the areas i'm going to start to look into
to see if there's bigfoot activity well what i do is i get on the google earth and look at the
google earth maps top of graphical maps and i look where there's water and cover and if there's water and
cover, you're more than likely going to find bigfoots.
Now, and you don't have to be too far away from the population.
You can be, they're not always out in the middle of nowhere.
And I'll give you a case and point.
You know, I started this journey.
My sister got involved with me.
She actually had a siding on the road one night and has their own story.
She did several of my shows when I did my podcast, Understanding,
Bigfoot. We put 37 shows out there.
I hadn't done one in about a year.
I'm just kind of, don't know if I'll get back and do it again.
I may just not, but she did several shows with me.
But we had parents, we had family members, told us, nah, you guys are crazy, right?
Sure, you've heard that.
And, but we stuck through our stories because we knew our stories.
because we knew our stories were true, you know.
And we didn't care what they said.
We were going to do what we're going to do.
And we're going to believe what we know because we've experienced it.
And I'd tell my brother, hey, you come out with us.
Come experience what we experience.
You know, and then, you know, make, you know, they.
So this was this past summer.
My parents, they're both 85 years old.
They live up in St. Charles, Missouri, suburban St. Louis, 3 billion population, metropolitan St. Louis, right?
And Dad and I were going back and forth.
We've got a great relationship, and we're going back and forth, and he's razzing me about this stuff.
I said, look, and I was due up to get up there and take him to a doctor appointment on a Monday, and I was going to come up on a Sunday.
I said, tell you what.
I'll tell you what, there is a bicycle trail that starts in St. Charles and goes across to Kansas City on the Missouri River.
They call it the Cady Trail.
Very popular tourist, you know, people ride the whole thing.
They raid pites of it.
It's a recreational thing.
It's super.
And right there in St. Charles County, about six miles where my dad lives, there's a conservation area.
public conservation area down on that river called Weldon Spring Conservation Area.
Katie Trail runs through there.
I said, I'll tell you what.
I said, let's go, let's take a drive down to the parking lot there to Katie Trail in the conservation area.
And we'll just listen, just sit and listen for the night and see what we hear.
I had no idea.
I hadn't had any other
of Bigfoot activity in that area
except for a story that I knew from about 40,
45 years ago.
And we didn't even know it was Bigfoot back then.
We just thought this guy's crazy.
But we knew he was something that scared him, right?
And so we go down there and we park and we park and we're
talking last the last cyclist is it's starting to get dark last cyclist it gets done riding the
bike on that portion of the trail gets in his truck and when that last cyclist when that truck pulls
out of the parking lot up on the ridge in the woods we hear distinct two tree knocks and my dad heard
that he said that was two tree knocks
I said, yeah, it was.
He said,
I said, maybe, I said, my guess is it's signaling the rest of them in the woods that the bicyclists are gone for the night.
The other five minutes go by, ten minutes go by, we don't hear anything.
Now, if that up there, tree knocked, and he's overlooking here, he knows we're still there in the car.
but he knows we're not bicyclists, right?
He's smart enough to know that.
So I thought, well, I normally don't do this,
but I'm with dad.
Dad's got expectations of activity.
We're not getting activity.
I normally don't do this,
but I'm going to let out a couple whoops.
That guy up there already knows,
he knows it's me whooping.
I'm not going to fool him.
I may not fool any of them.
But I did it anyway.
I normally don't do that.
Normally don't have, so I give it a big old whoop, you know, whoop, a couple of them, high-pitched.
And after I did my second one, up in the ridge to the left of this, we hear a real loud, long, drawn-out bigfoot screen.
Like you'd hear with the Ohio sounds, you know, what are those?
and it just set the woods up.
We started hearing them all over that conservation area ridge just to just yell,
back and forth, back and forth.
It sounded like a whole chorus of them just was in a certain distance of us.
And it scared my dad.
He got spooked.
I thought it was deep.
I thought it was cool because I've heard the same thing in Southeast Missouri on a few occasions, right?
I'm like, they're here.
They're here.
This is so cool.
And he's like, let's go.
Your dad's like gone zero to 60 in like two seconds.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And I'm like, I'm like, what are you afraid of?
They don't exist.
That's hilarious.
And anyway, I'll tell you, he'll doubt play it to this.
day. It was so much fun. And my sister, who lives in Texas, she was coming up a couple weeks later to visit him.
She said, I got to take him out there. So she takes him back out to the same place. And he went and
turned the motor off of the car. He went there. You got to turn the motor off the car. So we can hear you. I ain't turn it off. What if it won't start back up?
So she probably brought him back, convinced him to turn the motor off.
And then she did she started.
They had some activity too.
And it's like two times, you know.
So.
But that's, but what that tells you is they're all over the place.
You can look and you can look at the habit, habituary in the map, what it looks like.
And you can say they're probably there.
They probably are.
And in this case, they're in a county, St. Charles County, that, you know, probably has a, the entire county probably has a population of three quarters of a million people.
So, you know, they don't have to be too far away.
And people recreationally ride that bike trail every single day without incident with the Bigfoot.
Don't even know they're there, most of them.
and i bet they're just watching them all day long though and they're just watching them
yeah they're people watchers they they you know i've had that with me on a number of occasions
it's just that's the fast that's the fascinating that's like when i did the understanding bigfoot
thing as what do i want to call the show i don't want to call it bigfoot is real i know that
i want to call it finding bigfoot i found him uh you know hey this is unoh
try to understand what they know and what they're about.
Somebody told me,
you're never going to understand Bigfoot.
Then we'll always have another show to do or another subject to talk about.
Exactly.
You know,
I bring this up every once in a while,
but someone about a year ago was like,
you know,
so you're going to start focusing on Bigfoot.
Yeah, absolutely.
Aren't you afraid that you're going to run out of people to talk to
that have had stuff happen?
I don't think so.
And now it's like, no, never.
I will never run out of people.
It's intense all over the, all over the nation and the world.
You've dealt with this, Jeremiah, and I've dealt with it.
You're probably more so than me where I've had guests on the podcast that I've done that said,
finally, I'm able to get this off my chest to somebody who understands.
Absolutely.
And I've lived with this for how many years?
We had a situation.
I work at a high school.
And I work in a high school.
This is my second year at that high school.
I'm an athletic director there, and I teach a couple classes.
And these kids are wonderful.
And this high school is in Bollinger County, Missouri.
Now, if you look at the map, Cape Toronto County, is there in the river.
The next county over is Bollinger County.
The next county over is Madison County, where I've had big four.
activity, right? So it's safe to say if Bigfoot are in Cape Chero Alto County, Bigfoot are in Madison
County, they're probably in Bullinger County, too, you know, that they are, you know. It's a rural
what it county. But most of the people don't know that they are because they, you know, and so these
kids, they find out a new person's coming to town. He's not from there. He's going to be, you know,
athletic director teach
with classes
they get on there
and they stalk you
on social media
and they find out
this guy's
this study guy's
in the big foot
so
yeah they start
razzing me
and
they had
the other
I did podcasts
I was doing podcasts
and
and I was telling my guys
I'm telling you
I'm telling you
and this year
this is just
this is just
we're still in March
this month
this is the first
of this early
month. One of our seniors, female student, going to be valedictorian in the class, basketball
player over a thousand points in the basketball team career-wise. You know, good, you're all-American
kid, right? She says to me a couple months ago, there's one thing I want you to do for me and
a few of others before we graduate us. So what's that? She says, take us out to the
woods and show us what you know. Show us what you're seeing. Put up or shut up, Mr. Scott.
I said, okay. So I got to school to let me take, they sponsored to let me take these kids out on a field
trip. You remember the old field trips in school, right? You go to the zoo or go someplace like that.
So I had 11 students. I had eight seniors.
and three juniors, 11 students, put them on a school bus.
And since we're a small school, I also drive the bus.
So drive them over to my conservation area in North Cape County where I know, at least the one thing I know I can show them is footprints.
Right?
Are you going to show us Bigfoot?
Probably not.
You're not going to see Bigfoot.
They're not, you know, they don't, they're not.
I said I will show you evidence.
Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

I had my buddy, one of my research buddies, met me up there.
He's retired now.
He met us up there, joined us.
And so we went out, and we weren't 50, 75 yards off the bus.
and I spot the first track.
And I said, look at this, guys.
Let's look at this.
Now, it wasn't a perfect track.
But you could tell.
I said, now get your hands down there.
You can see where the, you know, the indentions, barely, but there is an indention.
You see if you feel toes.
They feel toes.
Let's get the tape measure out.
That track is 16 inches long, eight inches wide.
And they could feel, they can see, that's a track.
I said, now, I said, if this is one track, there has to be others.
So you want to look four to five feet ahead, four to five feet behind.
You may not actually see a good footprint like this, but you'll see where it stepped.
There be an impression where it stepped.
And then the students are picking it out.
Hey, look at there.
Look at there.
he's right. Hey, look you there.
And we saw three or four steps worth of travel.
And then once I showed them what I saw, they went out and started looking, like kids
in an Easter egg hunt.
Hey, hey, this might be one here.
Come look at it.
Hey, hey, this might be one over here.
Come look at it.
And so these kids are seeing, for the first time, you're seeing 16.
This one's only a 15-inch track.
This one's 18-inch as long.
And they're seeing, you know, and they're getting excited because they're seeing,
they know that something is laying these, you know, and these are awful big feet.
And so they went up ahead, and we got to, we got to an area that.
that I said, I'm going to walk up up the hill
because I've seen some good tracks up there before
and they were going to stay along that little small creek bed
and my buddy was with them and they were going up there.
One of my students found a perfect into creek bottom
17 inch print by nine wide toes down down.
down and there that heel
into the mid-tarsal break
everything's showing
I mean good old inch
and dinching into the ground
and I got to them finally
and I had thought
because I wanted to have them to have this experience
I'd got a
I brought a kit for plaster casting
I thought if we find a good
track we're going to cast it
So I got the casting material, showed the kids, okay, follow directions, mix it up.
Students mixed it up.
Students poured it into the foot.
One kid pulls a wallet out.
He's got a little credit card.
They kind of smooth it over at the top.
Make a nice smooth top.
And that track is sitting there in the ground, 17 inches long, 9 inches long.
is by the widest part.
And I wanted to set up real good.
By this time, they're hungry and they want to go get lunch, but I wanted to set up real
good.
My buddy says, hey, let's just do this.
I'll come back tomorrow and get it.
Let it get good.
Because I'm worried about it.
Well, if we start taking it out of ground, I don't want to fall apart.
We've got a mile to walk back to the bus.
And so my buddy goes back, gets the next day, gets out of ground.
This is just a perfect, perfect.
footprint that these students found, cast it,
and made their day.
And I'm working on getting it cleaned up,
and what we're going to do is all the students that were on the trip
are going to sign the flat part of the cast,
and the school's going to let us put it on display
in the display case in the lobby at school.
Now, how cool is that?
And these kids,
most of them are
three quarters of a way
or better to
believe in what I'm doing
and thinking this guy is not so nuts
after all because we saw this much
and
so word links
you know spreads at school what
what we did I got the cast
in my classroom and
now you got other groups wanting to go out
other groups what you can't
what you can do we just got to get a group
we got to you know
get an org
You know, you could be the next group to go.
So that's the kind of thing, educating people.
And we put that of the Seimo Bigfoot encrypted research Facebook page that my friend
Susan Perez runs here out of Cape Girardo.
We put the pictures of story on that Facebook page, which the, and then Barb Hartman.
another one of my co-hosts on Wednesday nights,
our co-panelists on Wednesday nights,
she put it on her No Drama Bigfoot Facebook page.
And I had somebody comment on the Simo Bigfoot page
from just in the county to the north of us in Perry County,
right along the river.
This is so cool.
I've been looking for a group to be able to share with this.
I had a siting when I was a kid,
and I haven't been able to talk to anybody about it.
because my initial conversations were dismissed.
You didn't see that.
You were dreaming that, you know?
And so I reached out to her and, you know,
and she and I are going to be talking soon.
But I thought, yeah, that's why we do what we're doing,
because there's so many people out there
that have had that encounter.
And they've got nobody to share it with because their initial sharing was discounted.
Absolutely.
And you probably have experienced that.
I experienced that.
My sister experienced that.
But I thought, screw it.
I'm going to keep telling the story because it's true.
And.
Yeah.
That is so cool that you were able to take some kids out from the school and kind of open their eyes.
to what's really out there.
But a question I wanted to ask you,
you know, you might have an interesting viewpoint of this
because you have had that visual, you know, face-to-face.
It's a basic question, but so what do you think Bigfoot is
if you had to categorize?
Well, you hear a lot of...
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.

The, spiritually, I'm a Christian, Christian belief, and I believe, like us, that they are part of God's creation.
Now, to what extent they were created, some people say, well, biblically is from the Nephilim and this dead.
I'm not going to discount that, except for.
The only thing that makes me question that is the Nephilim were fallen angels and demonic and all that stuff.
And these things have been nothing but nice to me.

said they're flesh and blood and something else. There's something else going on with him, too.
He says, I don't know exactly what. And I kind of agree with him on that because I have it.
I don't have the evidence that there are, you know, some people say, well, they're part of an alien group or they can just disappear in the thin air.
I haven't witnessed that.

And all three of those times were in the presence of Bigfoot activity.
But I've been in the presence of Bigfoot activity multiple times where there were no whorps.
So do they have something to do with each other?
They might.
You know?
But they don't all the time.
So, you know, I just try to, as an educator, I just try to be common sense about things.
exactly the orbs that you saw were they a certain color or shape or size or well the one the one time
and i got a picture of it of the orb it actually if you blow the orb up you see the big foot
behind you know right there with the orb i got on my phone i could text it to you but the
but um that was green the other two times
The orbs were clear, like light bolt, like a white light, like white lights.
So it's, it's really interesting.
You know, I've gotten more and more accounts over the last, I would say, six months.
I think people are starting to get not as scared to talk about the orb thing.
I think it might.
I think people are starting to accept it more.
I think back in the day
there, you know,
people would bring it up.
And it's like the mind speak
because I've been,
I've communicated with them
multiple times, but not through
mind speak.
I talk in English and they
will vocalize back to me.
Sometimes it's a grunt.
Sometimes it's a little gibberish.
Sometimes it's just, they might get an
all call back from them or something like that.
You know, okay, got you.
Or whoop or so, and we'll go back and forth.
I don't know that they know what I'm saying.
I don't know what they're saying, but I can tell that we're on friendly terms with each other, you know.
Exactly.
But I've got one of my research guys says that he had some mind-speaking activity with him and told me what they said to him and told me what he, you know, and I'm like, my first thought four years ago.
ago was you're crazy.
But I don't think that anymore, because I've talked to enough people that have had those
experiences that I think there's something to that.
But I don't think everybody has that experience.
I haven't had that experience.
But I've talked to enough people that have.
And so, you know, I'm not discounting it.
And that's part of that.
There's something else going on, you know.
I've had people that have been hit with the infrasound
that have told me what that was like.
I've never been hit with it.
So I can't, you know,
and I was as close to,
I had one outside my tent door one day,
and we were no more than five or six feet apart.
It was just a tent wall separating us.
And, and, and that was interesting.
That was, that was,
that was two years ago, April.
Two years ago, April, we were camping.
And my buddy Bill and I,
and he had a friend who was a total skeptic.
The three of us were camping.
We were in the tent.
We hadn't really had a whole lot.
We were, you know, getting in there for the night,
and it had been raining, and it had been cloudy.
So the lighting was not good because there was cloud covers,
keeping the moonlight for being there.
and Bill and I had both fallen asleep.
And the first sound I heard was a foot-crunching gravel.
There was a little gravel drive where Bill had his truck parked.
And when I heard the foot-crunched to gravel, I woke up.
And when I woke up, our skeptical buddy was sitting up in his cot, and he was on high alert.
And he looked like he was, you know.
And we stayed quiet.
Next step crunches the gravel.
Next step crunches to gravel.

We had a tarp out in front of our tent, because to keep it from tracking mud into the tent, because it had been raining.
And the next step is on the tarp.
And the next step is on the tarp.
So he's got two feet in the tarp.
He is right there on the other side of the tent wall for my other.
I know what it is because I've dealt with it.
This guy is just on high alert.
He knows that something is out there walking around on two legs.
It's pretty heavy footed.
And I'm sitting there saying to myself, talk to it.
Talk to it.
Say something to it.
But I was like, I couldn't.
You know what I mean?
I'm like, he's that close.
I thought, I'm going to let him make one more move, and then I'm going to say something to him.
And then he, next thing, you know, two, three steps, he's back into the woods and gone.
And I didn't.
I, I, I, I choked.
I wanted to talk to it, say something, see what it would react, how it would do, what it would, you know.
And I, and I didn't do it.
And I think walked into the woods and it was too late.
And my buddy Bill's still snoring.
He hadn't woke up yet.
And so I asked the guy, I said, so what, what do you hear?
He said, well, he says, I heard a couple of branches break from in the woods that, you know, sound like somebody broke him.
He goes, the next thing I know, he goes, it's messing with things in the back of the truck, you know, moving things around, checking things out in the back of the truck.
He goes, then it started coming across the gravel.
And I thought, that's what I woke up, and I started coming across gravel.
And then he had experienced everything I experienced.
And that was a big foot.
He came in to visit us.
And this guy's like, and of course this guy went back to his way and Bill will say, oh, he just, he's putting it out of his mind.
He said, no, I didn't experience that.
That really didn't happen.
But it did.
and two
I mean
yeah that's that's wild
have you guys
ever heard
or experienced
um
zipper noises down there
like unzipped tents
yeah
I haven't
no
okay have you heard of that down there
at all
well we got a young man
who
is a
well he came to our group
is a total skeptic come to
one of our meetings,
one of the other meetings, you know,
Susan advertised these meetings
who'll have a quarterly luncheon somewhere.
He camped with us one night.
And he had a little individual,
one-person tent that he set up about
20 yards from the other tents.
And he had the strings
in the tent, okay?
The strings
he said something was like picking the string like a guitar
you know ding ding ding ding at night
overnight and he didn't he says I
because I thought maybe it's just the wind
or the wind's not going to do that you know on those 10 strings
and I said it's probably it's probably a big foot to come in
And because there's no other animals just going to sit there and do that to the string while you're in there sleeping.
Based on the things we experience and stuff like that.
I said, probably it was a big foot that come into the camp and it was doing that.
And, you know, that's, that's, you know, that's the closest that we've heard.
I have an urge period.
Yeah.
It's, it's a, it's a, you know, that they will let.
you know that they're in the area.
They'll do different ways.
They'll do different things to let you know they're in the area.
And so you can, you know, like in my case, I'm like, should I unzip the tent and go out and see this thing?
Right.
And I'm like, you know, he's, you know, in your mind, you're like, well,
how will it react if you do that?
Yeah.
Will it feel that I'm being aggressive with it?
I mean, I don't want to tangle with it, right?
I'm not going to win that.
Well, if it feels I'm being aggressive with it.
Is he coming in and doing this much, but he doesn't want me to, you know,
or do they actually want me to come out and have interaction?
I don't know the answer to that at this point.
And that's why that night, like I said, I choked.
I didn't do anything, you know, and let it walk off.
But. And then you just, you know, you just have that regret.
Like one, my first, my first time I went out in Iowa and what a, I was just, I was just so excited.
And I was like, you know, texting different people.
I was in my tent by myself.
And I was texting random people.
And Shannon was like, you got to do the baby cry sound just to see what happens.
I'm not going to do the baby cry sound.
And she's like, just do it.
And I was like, no, I'm not going to do it.
And I regret, I wish I would have done it because it's like you, but that kind of can set off a lot of things.
That can set off actual predators as well.
So maybe we want to be careful of that.
Well, that's why I don't, I try not to yell and do all that stuff, you know.
I try not to do that because you don't know what you're communicating.
You don't know what else you're setting off, you know, things like that.
Bill, I mentioned Bill.
Bill and I had camped on one occasion.
There's just the two of us.
And we were sitting in for the evening for we were hoping to have some good activity with the Sasquatches.
and about some people pulled up to hunt coons.
They had a couple, about two or three coon hounds.
Got down into those, you know, started going down into those woods,
and they were in our vicinity,
and you can hear those hounds of yapping.
And I thought, well, there goes our night.
And I guess at some point into their coon hunt,
we heard the loudest, the loudest Bigfoot roar that we had ever heard.
And I mean, this was your Ohio howl on steroids if you're right, if you're there at the time.
And we never heard another yep out of those cunehounds.
And I was kind of getting worried.
I thought these, these dogs, you know.
And then about 10 minutes later, you can hear the hunters throwing these coon dogs in the back of their truck.
And then you'll peel it out of the gravel getting out of there.
And I thought, I wish I knew who those guys were.
I'd love to talk to him tomorrow and find out, you know.
But and then my next thought was, I hope the Bigfoot doesn't associate us with being the Coon hunters.
Right.
Because we're up there in the tent.
We're vulnerable, right?
So I'm thinking, oh, you know, you start praying that.
Well, about an hour later, we hear from out, you know, we're in the tent.
It's, you know, we hear, and this is in since we hear a hoodow, immediately followed by a little up-down whistle, and then some rock-clicking.
What sounded like rock-clicking.
Who-dow, up-down, whistle, rock-clicking, hood-ow, up-down whistle, rock-clicking, hood-how, up-up-down whistle,
rock clicking. And this is going on. And they're probably about 40 yards from the tent.
And we're hearing that. I said, Bill, I said, I think they're talking to us some way or another.
Bill's a good whistler. So when they got to the up-down whistle, he replied with an up-down whistle.
Then the hoodow and the rock clicker quit, they just started whistling back and forth to each other.
And this is going on, you know, whistle, whistle, whistle, whistle.
And I said, and this is when I got the guts.
I said, let's walk outside the tent.
This is so cool.
Let's walk outside the tent.
So we walked outside the tent.
And they continued, he whistle, he whistle, he whistle, he, they go back and forth.
They're down there and they're getting trees.
And I'm thinking, come out and show yourself to us.
and it wouldn't do it.
And finally, the whistling stopped and, well, okay, I guess they're not going to show themselves to us.
So we go back into the tent, zip it back up, lay back down.
And then once we're settled into the tent, behind us, there's a gravel parking lot.
And all of a sudden, you can hear them walking across the gravel parker lot on the other side of our trucks.
Step, step, step, step, step, step, going off to where they're going.
and they're incredible.
They are incredible.
That's wild.
Have you heard of any situations?
You said something a while back, and it made me think of something.
So the question I have is,
have you heard of any situations where Sasquatch has made people's lives
miserable in your area or state?
Yeah. I'll talk about a couple of, like I say, this is a conservation area that we go to.
And, of course, it's surrounded by farms and people that just have property and want to be out in the middle of nowhere or whatever.
And there's not a lot of population up there 20 miles north of Cape.
And these guys, they'll come in and.
with their side by sides and that.
One couple stopped one time and talking to us.
And he sees me.
He says, I've seen you up here before.
Well, you know, and we try not to let them know what we're doing, right?
And so finally, my buddy asking me,
if you noticed anything strange, any weird activities up here?
No. Okay. Well, so the guy leaves. He comes back about 30 minutes later. He says, I had a great Pyrenees. I found him down in the hollow on my property dead with a broken back. He said, you ask about things strange. He says, you know, something would spook my horses down there at night.
their great parent, you know, they're guard dogs, right?
And he goes, he ends up with the broken back down there.
He says, he didn't get hit by a car because the roads are just a little gravel road that nobody ever travels.
I mean, you know, the dog's not going to get hit by a car.
You know, he said, it was, it would have been down there in the bottoms.
He goes, what would have done that?
He goes, there's no teeth marks on it.
He goes, there's no scratch marks on it.
There wouldn't be in a mountain lion.
You know, we do have mountain lions there too.
I saw one a couple years ago.
What would have done that?
I said, well, I said, probably Bigfoot.
I said, because whatever the Bigfoot was doing, causing the horses to react, causing the dog to react,
they thought they don't want their cover blows.
Let's eliminate what's blowing the cover.
probably a bigfoot
they're out here
he didn't know that
and
in another situation
and my son
was
he was
he was actually the first one to find the tracks
that first day in December
2019
he's into hunting
he would go up to that same conservation
area in deer hunt
and I remember
this and he knows Bigfoot
are up there because we had
interactions
but he still go up there and he
deer hunt and other people deer hunts not like
people don't you know they're not up there killing hunters
right?
And they know hunters are in the woods
and when the hunting seasons are
he tells me he says hey I'm going to a new place
in the morning
that I hadn't been to
but I think it's a real good spot to go.
I said, why don't you?
And he lived here in Cape at the time.
I said, why don't you come over and get me?
I'll go out with you and sit with you.
And next morning, I get up.
It's about 5.45 in the morning.
I get up.
I let the dog out.
And I get a text digging on my phone.
And I don't have my glasses on.
Oh.
Ramsey's on his way over
where he's a little late.
He should have been over here
30 minutes ago, maybe.
Bigfoot Society will be right back
after these messages.
Let's go, girls.
So this is the little pink pill
everyone's been talking about.

So I just, I ignore the text and I started getting dressed.
But then five minutes later, the phone's ringing.
And I picked the phone up, and then.
And I said, I'm just non-shodley.
Where you at, man?
And he's breathing heavily into the phone.
And he's sounds real shook up.
And he says, I'm up here in a field.
I said, oh, you went up there hunting and you didn't come over and get me?
I thought you're going to come over and get me.
Dad, I'm up here in a field.
I just got chased out of the woods.
I said, chased out of the woods by what?
He says, you know what?
I said, you should have come and got me.
Well, what would you have done?
I said, I don't know.
I said, but he's, he's, so I said, I said, I said, come home.
I said, we'll go get some breakfast, talk about this.
Then we'll go back up and check things out.
And the area that he went when we got there, there were, it was, there was a game trail,
perfect deer
you know
game trail
and this area
had two
arched long
thin trees arched
kind of over the game trail
and you know
they'll do those tree arches
and I don't know if it was just a sign
like it's a good spot for us
you know whatever
I just theorized it as he went to hunt that morning
where they were where they wanted to be
and they didn't want him there
and he didn't he didn't he had a little
little spotlight headlamp to get into his place
and pitch dark and he couldn't see the big foot
there probably were two of maybe two of them
they growled screamed at him broke trees
shook trees chased him
probably bluff charged him he couldn't see
he didn't fire his he didn't fire his rifle
and I've told him
Don't shoot unless you absolutely have to
I said everything I researched
They will let you leave the area
Just leave the area
If you run into something like that
I said everything I researched
They'll let you leave the area
As soon as he got to the field
They left him alone
As soon as he got out of the woods
Into the field they left him alone
And
And you know
We went back to the spot
I saw some
a couple of 18-inch footprints in that area, too.
I spot it.
I said, yeah, you know, you were wrong place at the wrong time.
And then the next time he calls, he says,
he goes, I really want to hunt that field back there.
He says, but he said, well, you go with me today.
I know you're, he goes, you're not afraid of these things.
and I just feel better if you went with me, yeah, I'll go with you.
But he had that experience.
He didn't like it.
He didn't want to have anything to do with him.
Yeah, you know, a lot of accounts I take it.
It just, it almost sounds like they just, they want you out of a certain area.
Or, yeah, they just want you out of a certain area.
And once you get to out of that area, they'll kind of just leave you alone.
Wow, that's wild, though.
Have you had any conversations or connections with up here, we call them DNR officers or forestry workers or law enforcement officials about Bigfoot?
Yeah, Missouri Department of Conservation.
Yeah, their field, they're field agents.
We were up there one night.
We had a little, you know, they got two little primitive camp areas up.
this conservation area.
And we're up there.
And this is in January, my goodness, a few years back.
And got a fire going, there's spitting snow.
And, you know, got a tent.
We were camping.
And there was four of us up there at the time.
I think one of, one was three of us were going to camp.
One of us going to, one was going to go home when he felt like it.
And we just up there talking and a game warden making his rounds stops.
And it comes over to check us out, you know, starts asking questions.
Yeah, he's got to find out.
Are we up there for, do we mean no good?
Are we up, you know, you know, it was during COVID.
And I finally said to him, I said, look, I said, we're really, we're not hunting.
We're not, and nobody was really getting drunk or anything like that.
I said, we just come up here to get away and be somewhere where we can do.
sit down and just visit with each other without having to put a mask on, without having to worry about social distancing,
without having to do any of that stuff, just to kind of get away and just chill and visit with each other.
And he's like, oh, okay, okay.
He says, well, he says, I feel like, though, I probably better say something to you, though.
He says, there could be, because I don't have firsthand knowledge, but there could be big foots in this area.
Missouri Department of Conservation.
Okay, hold up.
So did he know you guys were Bigfooters when he said that?
No.
No.
You know what?
We didn't mention what we didn't mention what we were up there doing.
Oh.
We didn't want him to know.
We didn't want him to know.
I was like, we just was someplace we'd go visit with each other without having to put a mask on and social, you know, work.
But, you know, just try to be normal.
And when he said that, I said, what did you say?
Oh, I don't.
I don't have first-hand knowledge, he said.
I'm just telling you, from what some things I've heard,
there might be some in the area.
Just beware.
And then my buddy says, that's why we're here.
That's what we do.
And then, okay.
So I said, well, so I showed him some pictures on my phone
and some footprints I had.
This one here, I took that picture 300 yards right over there,
down by that old bar.
And this one here, these were kids.
over here on the other side off the boat ramp, you know, different things like that.
He's like, whoa.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, you got the evidence.
Well, we've exchanged contact information.
He and I have.
I've got a cell number in my phone, and he's got mine, and they're okay with us going up there and researching.
I sit him with text most recently of this plastered cast our kids did.
Tony, what we did and what we found.
he's like, you know, he's like, that's awesome.
And then we had another conservation agent.
He said, oh, he says, well, he goes, if you want to check out other places,
he gave us a couple other wildlife areas in southeast Missouri.
You can go there.
You can go there.
He goes, they're there too.
Damn.
Now, but now, the state of Missouri says they don't exist.
Well, of course they do.
The narrative of the Missouri Department of Conservation is it's a mythological creature that does not exist.
But these two field agents say, oh, yeah.
Be careful.
And the one guy who said to me, he says, because it floors me that you guys actually spend the night out there in your tents knowing what's out there.
And I told him, I said, they have not been harmful to us.
they've showed us nothing but peacefulness
and you know
so
that is awesome that you've got
some guys on the inside like that
that are on a talking basis with you that's so cool
but these Sasquatches
they have got they are very disciplined
they got a sophistication
with their with their units
call them clans or family units
whatever you want to call them.
I mean, I'll sit up there at that parking lot.
I sit in that parking lot during deer season.
And, you know, the firearm deer season, which is, which is, you know, state holiday,
probably in your state and my state, right?
Yeah.
The, the, and when the hunter comes out of the woods onto the gravel parking lot,
about 70 yards off the way, you hear, whoa!
Ten minutes later, next hunter runs out, comes out.
These hunters are oblivious to it.
They act like what's big, but you have a Sasquatch watching the parking lot,
Hunter out, hunter out.
They know exactly how many cars are parked, how many people down there hunting,
when the last hunter gets out of the woods, and when they can go start roaming.
That's how sophisticated of a system they've got going.
And if they've got it going in Cape Girrano County, they've got it going all over the country.
Absolutely.
That's how they thrive and survive.
And that's how people hunt without knowing they're out there.
Yeah.
I mean, it reminds me of what the Olympic project out in Washington says.
You know, Chris Spencer, Shane Corson, they say that you're going to catch a lot of stuff when you get right out of your vehicle.
so you better have a sound recorder going
because that's when you're going to hear like,
oh, they're back again, you know.
It's crazy, dude.
You know, and they've got their, what do you call them,
day watchers, whatever you want to call them,
that are positioned in certain areas.
And, you know,
and they're going to keep an eye on things.
And, and, and, and, but they, they, they, they've got that going on,
and they, and they, they, they learned to co-agreact.
exist with the hunters. That's why they're, you know. And I tell the hunters, well, like my son,
is you're not going to shoot your way out of it unless you absolutely have to. I said,
but in the same time, they know that you've got a gun, so they don't want you to shoot your way out of it,
you know? Absolutely. To the side, if there's a conservation officer,
or D&R or whatever, you'd be labeled in your state.
And you know about Bigfoot or you had an experience and you want to reach out.
You can reach out to me, Bigfoot Society at Gima.com.
Even if it's just to chat off air and off record that I have no problem with that.
I talk to a lot of people off record.
But Mike, have you heard of any situations where could be like a Bigfoot related to
like a missing 411 type thing or like it could have been responsible for a person that was missing
or anything like that?
They had a situation about a year and a half ago down here in southeast Missouri where a deer hunter
went missing and he was down, he was from Sykston, which is 30 miles south of me,
but he was over in the Mark Twain area over in east, probably west of
Poplar Bluff down there around Current River and that area.
And he went missing, and they found him dead a couple days later.
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.
I feel like a woman.

here's what's strange about this. They searched the area and they found his rifle. And he wasn't
there. When they, the next day, as they're searching the area, his body was back at the place
where they found his rifle. And a lot of people, you know, speculating Bigfoot got him,
Bigfoot got him, Bigfoot got him. And my theory on that was, I don't think so. I don't know
what got him. He may just had a, he may just, he may just, he may just had a hard attack.
and die. You know, I don't know what caused his death.
They may have, something may have taken him somewhere because he wasn't there where the rifle was at.
I don't know why he would have left his rifle to go, you know.
And when they found the body where the rifle was the next day,
my guess is that possibly a Bigfoot brought him back to that spot.
knowing they were going to look, you know, that's an area they were looking.
Because the last thing the Sasquatch wants is a bunch of law enforcement officials
scoring through their territory.
I would think.
So they, I'm thinking my theory is they brought the body back.
There's your body.
I don't know what caused it.
Maybe they did.
Maybe they did.
Maybe he was ready to shoot.
I don't know if it was, if it was Bigfoot.
got him or not. I had it had heard me all the details since then on that's been kind of hushed up.
Right. But, but, but, um, so, so it's, it's, it's, it's sketchy, you know, nobody really
knows for sure, but somehow that body got back to where that gun was at. It wasn't there
the day before. That's a tricky situation for sure. Um, you hear in Oklahoma a lot of,
But there's a few instances of, you know, Bigfoot trying to get into houses or becoming extremely aggressive.
Is that a thing that you guys have to deal with down in Southeast Missouri ever?
I haven't heard of that.
No, I have heard knocking on the walls, knocking on the windows.
I had a lady on one of my podcasts.
She's from over in the Springfield area north of Springfield.
And she said that there's one that, I mean, he's at her bedroom window every night between two and three in the morning tapping on it.
Man.
I said, you're not going out to see what he wants?
She goes, no, no.
No.
Time to put some game cams.
She goes, this is every day.
And I said, put up perimeter game cams.
They'll stay away from there.
Yeah, they'll be out of there.
But the, but I've heard of that.
heard of that that
that, you know,
things like that, peeking in the windows,
not going to...
I haven't heard of one trying to get in the house, though.
Not a personal story from anybody.
Gotcha.
I read some encounters.
I read some encounters where maybe
they perhaps did in that.
So even over at the place
where I go in Madison County,
they've gone up to the house.
They haven't tried to get in.
the house. So they've gone up close to the houses in the house? Yeah, they've been up to the,
they've been up to the porch, you know, but they have been in, they've tried to get in the house
or been in the house. So they're like getting up to the porch, but not quite crossing that
point of no return because they know. Not, not crossing that. That could happen Sunday, but man,
that's wild. Because they've, because they've had gifts left for them on the porch right there
outside the door.
Oh, really?
They just, you know, they come up and leave a gift in return for the food they're getting
or something else.
Exactly.
Do you know anything about a place called Marley Woods down in Missouri?
Place called what?
It's called Marley Woods.
Marley Woods?
Yeah, this is just shot in the dark.
It's, you know, Skinwalker Ranch out in Utah?
Yeah, I've heard of it.
So supposedly there's a version.
of that somewhere in Missouri, where it's like a lot of UFO stuff, but also some Bigfoot
type thing.
It would have to be over in the Ozarks, I guess, although.
Yeah, I would guess too.
We, you know, I had a guy that's, he's doing a documentary on the, this Grand Tower
UFO thing from about 50 years ago over in Southern Illinois.
Illinois, which is a big buddy area, across where we research.
And we saw what I'm just going to say it was a UFO because we couldn't identify it as anything else in the sky one night when we were up there.
Wow.
And that thing was doing all kinds of things that aren't known any aircraft that we know anything about.
And so we just, so he'd found out and he wouldn't know.
I couldn't he was down doing some interviews
I was out of town when he did that but the
he's putting his documentary together
my buddies I think interviewed with him
but the
but I did talk to him on the phone
I said what's what I saw I can tell you
that it was related to aliens or not
but I did see something in the sky
that was not a normal thing in the sky
and so
but that stuff is
yeah that stuff is
you know and and if
Like I said, if Bigfoot is real and Bigfoot is in the abundance that they're in in this country,
which I believe if they were recognized, there is more than enough.
They would not be on an endangered species list.
And nobody knows about that.
I'm not going to, I'm not going to say those other things aren't real.
There's no telling what's out there.
I got one last question for you.
You know, you're hearing a lot of accounts and stories in your corner, Missouri.
Do you ever hear any accounts or sightings of non-Bigfoot creatures in the area?
I haven't heard anything related in our area to Dog Man,
probably the closest thing related to that.
Well, I mean, once his name put out a documentary recently,
my friend Miguel with Sasquatch theory about a...
Oh, yeah, he's a great dude.
A dog man siding over to the west of us, Mark Twain area again.
The somebody reported a couple years ago, and they described...
And this was like right in Cape Girardo.
They just...
What they described as far as the...
creatures, probably the closest thing, we would call it would be the moth man.
Really?
Big old Batman type thing flying around, you know.
And they said there were two different sightings within about a month of each other
and the Cape Girardo city limits on the outskirts of it.
And I'd heard about that, but didn't follow up on it.
because, you know, but who knows?
And how long ago was that?
You said a few years?
That's probably about three years ago, probably.
I mean, that's probably about three years ago.
I hadn't heard anything since then, but I did hear, too, in the same region
within about the same month of each other.
And I didn't know, I didn't get any names.
I just heard about it.
so and I thought you know I'm diving into Bigfoot I don't have time to dive into everything
that's the thing right when you start focusing on a thing like Bigfoot it's like you don't have
time for anything anything else you know I get it and so yeah Mike it has been it if really
fun time chatting with it you are a wealth of knowledge about Bigfoot in general and
especially in your corner of Missouri.
Such a fun time.
