Bigfoot Society - Bigfoot Lives in Weldon Spring | Missouri

Episode Date: December 10, 2024

Levi, a lifelong outdoorsman and technical footwear product designer, shares riveting experiences from the St. Louis, Missouri area and Indiana on Bigfoot Society. This episode delves into Levi's esca...lating encounters with Bigfoot phenomena and unexplained activities during his rock climbing trips and nature adventures. From strange footsteps and mysterious rock knocks to eerie quietness and technical interference, Levi recounts his close calls and theories on the potential 'windows' or energies concentrated in specific geological locations. The discussion also touches on the influence of certain terrains, his unique methods to solicit responses, and the broader implications of encountering these phenomena.Resources:Contact Levi: ywe93ywe93@gmail.com🔴 Subscribe to our Youtube channel and leave a comment here: https://www.youtube.com/@BigfootSociety?sub_confirmation=1Share your Bigfoot encounter with me here: bigfootsociety@gmail.comWant to call in and leave a voicemail of your encounters for the podcast - Check this out here - https://www.speakpipe.com/bigfootsociety(Use multiple voice mails if needed!)Share this video with a friend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5v75Od-X38Watch more episodes of the Bigfoot Society podcast here – https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3t1vwtsKh-MGeHs0XglFJE5LwUHpmJm_&feature=sharedRecommended Playlist – New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3t1vwtsKh-Mk4032IyZtWgP6LVPU8uat✅ Help me help others share their Bigfoot Encounter by joining the community on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/thebigfootsociety✅ Hear ad-free episodes early by joining the community on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Qq45W6iaTU8FE9kelxT7Q/joinLet’s connect:Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/bigfootsociety/Twitter – https://twitter.com/bigfoot_societyTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@bigfoot.societyAffiliate links mean I earn a commission from qualifying purchases.

Head on over to patreon.com forward slash the Bigfoot Society. And now let's get on with the show. All right, Bigfoot Society, you've got the privilege of talking to Levi. Levi's an individual who reached out to me through email with a lot of really interesting things he's going to share. He's from down in the St. Louis, Missouri area.
Starting point is 00:03:06 And a little bit about him that he provided is he's a lifelong outdoorsman. He's been a technical footwear product designer for the rock climbing outdoor industry. And he's also a 25-year national graffiti writer, which will come into play it sounds like in a little bit. But Levi, welcome to the show. Yeah, thanks. for having me. Before we get going, we were talking before the show started. This is going to be an episode where the interviewee is a little bit more comfortable with myself asking questions and not just letting him talk for an extended period of time. So you'll see, you'll hear a little bit more
Starting point is 00:03:47 of me in this one, which is great. Is there anything else that we need to know about your background besides what I shared before we get going? Always just been, interested in, you know, the weird or the odd. I'm originally from Indiana doesn't have a lot of anything, really, a lot of land, a lot of cornfield, but there's not a lot like geographically or the state's kind of the same from top to bottom. We're surrounded by minor mountainous areas, like the kind of the beginning of Appalachia and in Kentucky, The Ohio River Valley area has some elevation changes. And then Illinois, to an extent, mainly south,
Starting point is 00:04:34 I know these things don't dictate what happens around there. But Indiana's always had the ghost stories or the haunted house or blah, blah, blah, blah. Where I'm from originally, the only, as far as I know with the research that I've done, the only kind of Bigfoot or Sasquatch encounter was in the 70s on a, stretch of road headed towards Chicago. A family, either a family or a couple were driving, and they saw a big foot standing off in the distance from the, they did provide a mile marker on the highway, so I know, like, within a five-mile radius.
Starting point is 00:05:13 And it's really flat. It's like cornfield. There's a strip of foliage and tree area that is connected to a park. So it was always really odd to me that someone had any type of siding there whatsoever. From Indiana, where I was born originally, I moved to southern Indiana and had always heard of stuff happening in the woods down there. Bloomington is really famous for the IU, which is the college. and there's everyone from Wall Street banker eventually to hippies that live in the woods and everybody seemed to have, they knew someone or were connected to someone that had something happening to them in the woods. So yeah, that's where it started. Things really ramped up when I moved through traveling as well.
Starting point is 00:06:11 like I started noticing things in the woods when I would camp or when I would be out on climbing trips. I've been rock climbing for a long time. I took a 10-year break and didn't do anything and then went head first in. And I think I gave you a rundown of some of the areas. But a lot of national parks, a lot of really secluded areas where no one goes because the approach is really hard. and usually the times and the dates and the weather dictates what happens like in the climbing world a lot so we would be out when there's you don't see people for an entire day or two days or three or four depending on how much you're out there so you blend into the woods to an extent and you just pick up on these things that kind of you'll get a blip here and a blip there and you're like oh yeah that was weird and then now i'm thinking about all this stuff later on and i'm like oh maybe that's what that was so yeah that's
Starting point is 00:07:18 where it started okay got you so you it sounds like you grew up familiar with weird stuff happening in the woods around southern indiana specifically around that college or all those people. Now, was this, were these bigfoot encounters that were happening down there? Yeah, so I had heard, I had heard from guys that were in the climbing realm down there. And I just had friends and they're like, yeah, my dad was in the woods hunting and he saw this or climbers would be like, yeah, we had an entire like pack of stuff that would disappear and show up again in a couple days. So yeah, and Bloomington, it's pretty, it's not, there's not crazy elevation change, but there's a lot of woods. There's a lot of old woods,
Starting point is 00:08:11 too, which I think plays a pretty key factor in it. Now, it sounds like looking back on your life, you're realizing things happened earlier that were a little bit weird, but can you remember maybe the first time where you're like, okay, that stuff that I experienced was definitely some Bigfoot activity and that kind of opened my eyes. Yeah, the earliest thing I can remember is down there as well. Like I said, I stopped climbing and I took a really long break that took me out of the woods as extensively as I used to be. I remember at one point we were climbing in an area in Kentucky that's pretty famous in the climbing world. There's not really a reason to hide it.
Starting point is 00:09:02 It's known as Red River Gorge. So it's one of the most popular sport climbing areas in the United States. I remember being on a trip and not directly to my group that I was with or my camp, but the camp right next to us, they had heard what they described. as like a bark or a loop, like the, like you get like the loop in the woods or like a weird sound. And I remember then being like, we hear it every time we're down here and it's always in this one area. A lot of that area is very isolated, but there's a lot of climbing. Sometimes you're walking pretty far and it's, you know, you're on your own or with your group.
Starting point is 00:09:53 But they had said they kept hearing this same thing over. And, you know, you get like around a campfire, like before you go to sleep and you start asking questions. And I remember in the camp, there was one person that was going off separately to their tent area. and I remember them being like I just heard it again. I didn't hear it, but it sparked some concern from what I could tell. And I was like, oh, yeah, that's weird. That's crazy. I guess that's a thing.
Starting point is 00:10:32 At this point, I was pretty young. So it wasn't like, I wasn't like die hard by paying attention to it. But yeah, in a roundabout way, just being in that area, I had heard like these people talking about it. And then when this was this person went off to their little port. in the camp to get to their tent. And they heard this, like, you could see the look on the face. There was concern, and they were like, this keeps happening. It's very, like, nerve-wracking, and I don't really know what it is.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Later on that trip, we had a trash can that kind of, I guess it walked off on its own, you could say. The trash can didn't hold any food, but it held climbing equipment. it. And in particular, it held, in rock climbing, you use a lot of rope. It held a series of ropes and some gear shoved in the center. And I remember coming back from the crag, which is what everybody calls the spot where you climb. And we're like, where's this trash can? Because it's a ton, like, it's a lot of gear. It's like a 25-gallon can. And there's a rope shoved inside. And then there's, what we call quick draws, which are you connect them to the rock so you don't fall and die. That's the easiest way.
Starting point is 00:11:51 It's a safety. It's a piece of safety equipment. So the can's gone. We can't find it. Everybody does like the grid search. Let's like try to walk around and see if we can find it. There was no one else around, which was the intriguing part to me because in that realm, deer does get stolen, unfortunately, but not in an area like this that's this relevant.
Starting point is 00:12:15 So yeah, can disappears. We can't find it. We go to leave the next day at like noon, and the can is sitting right on the edge of our campground. There's a pizza place down there. I'm not going to say the name of the pizza place, but if you climb in Kentucky and you go there a lot, you know where this pizza place is. and it's like super famous so if people want to search they can search that way but the can's just sitting on the side like on the very edge and it's there and it looks like something had pulled all this stuff out and shoved everything back in which doesn't happen in the climbing realm ropes for
Starting point is 00:13:01 your safety line so there's a reason they don't get dirty to an extent they do get dirty but not as dirty as this thing it looked like something grabbed it like dragged it around and then checked all the other stuff and just shoved it back in all as messy as possible, which good climbers don't do. You know, it was odd and it didn't really, that incident didn't really click until later on where I was like, oh, okay, this makes sense. Yeah, that's where the first thing, like, where it was like, oh yeah, like maybe this is something to pay attention to.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Yeah, absolutely. How heavy was that garbage can approximately? It's not super heavy, but it's not light enough for, you don't carry it under your arm. It connects to a pack and you carried on your back. And if you walk a mile with it, like you're tired. You feel it. climbing gear is not super heavy. It is in some realms, but not this realm.
Starting point is 00:14:17 I don't know a single animal that could have grabbed it, taken it away without dragging the trash can across the ground. That was one of the other things was like there's no, there were no marks of it being like dragged like by a coyote or a wolf or like a bear, which I don't think they have in that area. It's heavy enough to where you have to. carry it and you get tired when you're carrying it. But the big thing is when the rope and all the safety equipment's placed inside,
Starting point is 00:14:52 it's placed strategically. You can reach into the bucket without pulling out, reach in, grab exactly what you need, and pull it out without looking at it. So it being shoved back in like the worst possible unorganized way ever is the big thing there. It's weight-wise, like, maybe 22 pounds total, maybe 25, enough to where you would have to carry it, you know. That's very interesting. So it all shoved back in by something that obviously didn't have a respect for rock climbing. Anyone who had a respect for that would have done it the same way, you would think.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Yeah, and it was, like, everything was dirty, too. That's the thing that got me, like the people that I was. with on that trip like they in the climbing realm when people have gear it's like you can go in their car and their car is absolutely trashed
Starting point is 00:15:57 and you go and you see they call it a rack you go and you see their rack of climbing gear and it's like the most organized clean like perfect thing ever so it's really funny the climbing world is crazy it's like you spend thousands of dollars
Starting point is 00:16:12 on all this gear and you spend thousands of dollars on a car or an apartment, and it's nine times out of ten, like the gear's like pristine, perfect condition, and everything else is just like, this is gross. Like they call it dirtbag. Like a dirt bag is a climber. Yeah, it's funny.
Starting point is 00:16:31 They're like, a dirt bag is like a climber that lives in a van or a climber that lives in a park and they camp in the park for the climbing season, and then they go to another park. And they'll like, you'll see people in $1,000, dollar like jackets like puffy like down jackets and they're absolutely trashed like holes taped up like they've slept in them on the side of a rock like just terrible and then you go and you see their climbing equipment it's like it looks like it's brand new there's scratches from use but you're
Starting point is 00:17:00 like wow this gear's like really clean so it being shoved in and all dirty i was like okay this is odd so yeah so i'm seeing how people in this community that were talking about might actually be people that could have some solid Bigfoot encounters. They're going around to these areas that are potentially remote and they just go and go and go and they're out there quite a bit. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

So I have to keep that in mind when I'm looking for people to talk to in the future. But it sounds like you're into the Bigfoot thing now. And did you ever, after this encounter, maybe years in the future, did you ever look back at
Starting point is 00:19:19 this area, this Red River Gorge and research it and see if there's other sightings that have happened in the same area or other Bigfoot encounters? Yeah, so I've checked. Kentucky is wild in itself. I checked pretty extensively, like, later on, and was like, okay, yeah, this area has some sort of activity. The BFRO website lists stuff in that area. It's, I feel like that, I feel like the updates on, on the no disrespect to the BFRO,
Starting point is 00:19:53 but I feel like some of the updates, they either don't get logged or, I don't know what their influx is, so it's hard to, like, pick off of just that map, which I think a lot of people do. The Bigfoot Map Project, like that website seems to have more, and that whole entire area is, I mean, it's packed. There's a lot. When you're down there, once you get into some of the spots, most of them are readily accessible. Like, they're really easy to get into, but there are ones. that are still mildly secret or not visited because the approach is so hard. Like you're walking for an hour with a ton of gear and it's the likelihood of having an encounter
Starting point is 00:20:44 with anything that's abnormal or not potentially in our realm is it's got to be pretty high just because the area is wild. They're still finding, this one area in Red River Gorge, It has been established in climbing for a long time. I know guys that have been going down there since the 60s, 70s, they're still finding stuff to this day that no one found. And they're like, oh, yeah, this is an entirely new area. And in climbing areas, you're not developing, like, a small area.
Starting point is 00:21:20 The goal is to develop as much as possible for people to come in. So, you know, like, it's pretty wild. look at the mapping project site and you trace the area, that thing is like full red. Like it's, it's, there's a lot. There's a lot from what I can tell. Yeah, absolutely. That is a great resource as well. And the other thing I usually do is if there's states that have state-specific resources, I will check that. So Kentucky, you have the KBRO. Yeah. And so that's a great resource as well, their YouTube channel and their website too.
Starting point is 00:21:57 But you had this experience at Red River Gorge, which is a really interesting. That could kick it off. But did that kick off things for you right after that? Or was it still a while until you got to the point where you're like, I think I'm going to try to figure this out? So really everything ramped up when I came to St. Louis. I think personally, I think there's two realms. that affect what, A, what you experience, and B, how or where you experience it. I think in the email, I told you, I think I feel like intent has a lot to do with it,
Starting point is 00:22:41 and I think that focusing on the stuff has an effect as well. So I didn't really start focusing until I came here. And Missouri in general, it's like Illinois has a, ton. There's a ton of sightings all over. There's a spot that we would climb in Shawnee, this area called Alto Pass, really famous like bouldering spot. Bouldering is a type of climbing you do with no ropes. You basically land on a small foam mattress. We call it a crash pad, but that area is highly, it's high traffic. There's a lot of people that go there, but it's really isolated. Like, from St. Louis, it's two hours, two and a half hours, depending on the way. And once you get
Starting point is 00:23:33 down there, yeah, you'll see a ton of people camping or climbing, but people don't camp down there. They go to the state park and camp in, you know, the state park. So if you stay in the area, I've personally stayed in the area. And I mean, it's like really wild out there. I think there's a lot that happens there. But also, too, I personally, believe that like the type of earth that you're around and the type of stone that you encounter may have some sort of effect. Indiana is limestone. Ohio's a lot of limestone until you get southish. Illinois is a lot of bullet sandstone. There's some sandstone in Indiana, but it's not a lot, and it's not like these massive runs of it. There's a ton of it in southern Illinois.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Missouri and St. Louis, and part of the reason I started to pay attention a little more here, is because there's a lot of granite. There's a lot of red and pink granite, which for where we're at, climbing-wise, like geographically, yeah, it's whatever. Like, there's probably granite. There's a band, obviously. But where we're at, St. Louis and Missouri, and where these hot spots that I feel like some of these hotspots are, for not just Bigfoot, like people have paranormal, people have UAP, UFO, cryptid stuff. It all seems to happen around a lot of dense concentrations of certain. So for me, we're going to a spot and it's all pink granite.
Starting point is 00:25:16 And I'm like, why is there pink granite here? We go to another spot that's just a little bit farther. Same thing, pink granite. There's a, have you heard of Marley Woods? Yeah, I think you have. I feel like I remember hearing it in an episode. Yeah, it's a thing where, so summary is it's the Skinwalker Ranch of Missouri and the location is not entirely known. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:44 You can do your own research and you can find it more than likely. Yeah. I think it's out there. But yeah, it's pretty wild with Bigfoot and UFO and all sorts of weird stuff. Yes. Yeah. that area, there's another spot that's around that area called Piedmont, which is like Missouri's UFO Capital. I think things really started to ramp up when I started paying attention
Starting point is 00:26:08 to some of the UFO stuff that was happening around here. Through that, I was like, okay, maybe like you can experience these things, like the intent is there, hey, look, you put it out in a wherever you believe in, whatever you think is helpful controlling or overseeing everything, everybody's got there. Some people stick to this thing. Some people stick to this thing. That's fine. I think the intent has a lot to do with it. So I started paying attention more to the UFO area when I moved here because I was reading a lot of the encounter stuff and listening to like podcasts and being like, man, this is crazy. Like, there's a cluster here and there is a massive concentration of multiple things that keep happening. And it's really close to the St. Louis area to an extent.
Starting point is 00:27:03 And so, yeah, that's it. That was long and winded. But to the point, I really didn't start paying attention until I moved here. I started going, you had had an interview with another gentleman from south of St. Louis, who had mentioned a spot that I frequent a lot, like a lot. Like sometimes three to five times a week, depending. Sometimes I'll go to one area and then nothing's happening there. Go to this other area that's really close. Same thing. Weldon Springs is the area. It's not secret. If you look at St. Louis, like the map of encounters that people have had, Weldon Springs is one of them. Weldon Springs is a super weird area.
Starting point is 00:27:51 There is rock. As far as I can tell, it's not granite. I believe it's sandstone, but it has, there's some anomalies there because of some work that was done during the war that I think may have opened this area up to be like a hot spot to an extent. There's, yeah, I don't know, I don't know if you're familiar with that story and that like whole thing. But if you start doing research on Weldon Springs, you're like, okay, yeah, this makes sense. There's a lot of energy that's focused in that one area. Okay. And there was for a long time.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Yeah. So what you're saying is that, and are you saying during, so something happened during wartime efforts where it pretty much opened. it opened a window area or focused energy? My best educated guess, I would say maybe a window. It feels, to me, when I'm out there, it feels like a constant. You pick up these little blips. Like you're like, oh, yeah, I heard this, which, like, forest speak, like you hear, like, the trees move and everything like that. but I personally feel like this area is concentrated and it may be like a window.
Starting point is 00:29:17 I don't know if it's open constantly and I also don't know if it's just now. It's really hard for me to find like solid info that's not on the Bigfoot websites. You know what I mean? Like, you hear stories, but there's a lot of people that still won't talk about stuff, which is what's great about your podcast because you have people from the 60s that are like, yeah, like I had an issue. This or this happened, I've never told anybody. So, listening to that and like hearing stuff, I was like, maybe I can do, you know,
Starting point is 00:29:58 a deep dive search and try to find out what's going on or find people that have stories. And there's not a lot. So you're getting a lot of secondhand encounters, like even through a website. Like someone's report is direct from what the individual said, but there's, it's really hard for me to believe that there's those encounters and those like ticks on the map are the only ones that are happening. No, they're absolutely not. 100% not. Yeah. So this area, Walden Springs, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:31 So they were basically making, what's the best way to say this? There's a whole area there that has a giant dome that basically covers the entire leftover byproduct of munitions manufacturing. Yeah, the Weldon Springs interpretive site is what I believe it's called. It's literally this massive dome. The locals call it the moon. it's covered in rocks. So it's like a dome of concrete that just covers like nuclear trash. Let's just say that.
Starting point is 00:31:07 We'll do that as like the short form, easy way to explain it. If you want to research, it's really not hard to find out everything that's happened in that area. And the thing that really intrigued me was there's a start date where everything started to happen and it's continued and it's never stopped. Like, essentially, they started manufacturing materials there, and it wiped out these entire three towns. Like, still now, people are like, there's, like, really high spikes of, like, cancer, and it's like, you know, in my opinion, it directly connects to all of that stuff. There is some, this is conspiracy-wise, and I don't really like to delve into conspiracy stuff. It's a kooky realm, and it, I don't think scientific. it's the best thing to pay attention to.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Sure. But there was a definitive start date for military presence there as well. There's a base, like a training base is what they call it. The Army Corps of Engineers has a training base right there, right next to the spot called the moon, right next to Weldon Springs. There's a massive 33 Lake Nature Preserve, the timing, of when it's open and when it's closed is really odd to me. And the same thing for this other part that's not included in the nature preserve. They have a hard open and a hard close every single day, which is really odd to me.
Starting point is 00:32:47 In my opinion, I feel like there's potentially something in this area that needs monitoring. And the best way to do it was to put the Army Corps of Engineers there and just be around the area. It's pretty vast, but from St. Louis, if there's no traffic, it takes 25 minutes from downtown.

The Starbucks iced torchata shake and espresso is back for the summer. crafted with cinnamon, vanilla, and nutty notes of toasted rice, handshaking with smooth blonde espresso, and finished with oat milk for a creamy touch. Made for summer. Only at Starbucks. Really from the arch to there is like maybe 35. Yeah, it's just odd. It's a really weird area
Starting point is 00:35:02 that kind of falls into this whole Missouri cookie place and a lot of weird stuff happens here. If there's really a, if you draw a line from Weldon Springs to where Marleywoods is, we'll say allegedly where Marley Woods is, it's a pretty straight line. If you tick all the, if you look at a map and you look at this one area and you look at the cluster of sightings for UFO stuff and cryptids and everything, if you draw some lines on a map, like everything seems to meet up around. a cluster of a certain type of rock. Really? And the, yeah, it's, that's the part that really got me. So like Missouri having granite in general is extremely odd, in my opinion. I know if I did, if I, you know, did 24 hours worth of research on how Missouri got pink granite,
Starting point is 00:36:03 I'm pretty sure I would find out how, you know, it's definitely documented and it's out But the thing that really gets me is all of these areas where those that certain concentration of granite is where a lot of the weird stuff happens. Marley Woods is really crazy close to a band of granite, of pink granite. There's another spot called Elephant Rock has been featured on a TV show and people talk about it here and there. but it's it literally it's like someone took a ton of giant round red grant or pink granite boulders and just dump them there and the whole area is pretty isolated it's small still like rural communities there's a lot of mining that goes on right next to that area which is also a red flag for me yeah it's i don't know i don't know if it's just because of the rock i don't know if it's because of the earth that was moved for whatever reason, whether it be mining, whether it be like manufacturing materials, or if for some reason, like in a glacier at one point came through here and pushed all this stuff up and maybe affected that wine in the universe. There's, I'm going to try, I'm going to,
Starting point is 00:37:28 there are certain things that overlap into the UFO realm and also like the magic realm, which we won't get into, but there's a line called the 37th parallel. Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah, there's a lot of weird stuff. Yeah, this whole entire area is pretty close to that. Oh, is it really? Okay. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Yeah, and the other thing, too, like in the, you hear about flowing water as a conduit in the realm of magic, and we're surrounded by rivers. literally Weldon Springs runs directly next to a river. St. Louis and Illinois are, I mean, a huge river is right there. Directly next to that river, if you go 50 miles each way from the river, if you drew a line dead straight in the middle, like this is the divide location, from that pinpoint, 50 miles east, 50 miles west, 50 miles north, 50 miles south, there's constantly something going on.
Starting point is 00:38:33 There's a spot called Lebanon, Ohio, or Illinois, sorry. And there's a gentleman out there. He lives on a farm, and he has UAP, let's say, slash UFO sightings almost every day, consistent, never at the same time, sometimes at night, sometimes in the day. But that's 42 miles from here. And he's constantly seeing this stuff. people around this area I mean they have it's it's really wild
Starting point is 00:39:06 that's the thing that gets me is like it's not just big foot it's not just you know like these locations are haunted there's people folklore and like stories attribute a lot to an area
Starting point is 00:39:19 but there's stuff popping up constantly that's new that people are experiencing what's really got me hooked is like it's not old stories it's not regurgitated story from someone else that they heard from their uncle who saw something 20 years ago. It's like direct stuff that's currently happening.
Starting point is 00:39:39 And to go back to your question, I think that there is potentially a window or a portal or something. I don't know. I don't know if the pointed energy thing to me is like maybe to an extent, but you would think that you would feel it if that were the case. Yeah, there's a few. Oh, sorry, go ahead. Like Mount Shasta, people talk about Shasta all the time. They're like, oh, there's this, you feel the energy, you feel the energy.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Like, that to me, yeah, there's some really crazy stuff going on there in everybody's, like, paranormal realm. That's like the hot, like, you can go there and experience whatever. Oh, yeah, Mount Shasta is like the, that's like the craziest one that I use. usually think of is people get sucked in so much, they go to that area and then they never leave, which to me is crazy to think about. Yeah. So that, to me, that's pointed energy. It doesn't seem like that's what's happening here. Mount Shaas says it's like the Disneyland of the paranormal. Right. It is. Yeah. And Skinwalkers like the Universal Studios, Marley Woods is like the Fox Company or whatever. I have a few questions I want to get in real quick. Pink Granite, that to me is
Starting point is 00:41:00 very fascinating. It's nothing I've really heard of before, but it makes sense because your focus is going to be on what you're climbing on. So are there maps where you can look at where other huge deposits of this are around the U.S.? I would look right now, but my internet has mysteriously gone out and love that. Yeah, we'll get some interference here at some point. I will say that. You'll notice it. Just a precursor. Yes. So to answer your question, there's a really famous, everybody's going to use this website, too. It's called Mountain Project, right? There's Backcountry, which is like the hiking realm.
Starting point is 00:41:41 I think that's what it's called. Like the hiking, if you want to look at trails, you use, yeah, backcountry. So if you want to look at climbing stuff, you use Mountain Project. And Mountain Project is essentially a database where if you find an area of rock, you can record that location, you can record all of the climbs that are in that, the climbing routes that are in that area. You can record the rock, the time that you can go there, whether the land is restricted or closed or public access is what we call it. You can, I mean, you can do anything. You can search like, I want to climb, I want to climb bullet sandstone.
Starting point is 00:42:26 I want to climb limestone. I want to climb marble, I want to climb this. You can search that entire website and it'll give you pinpointed directions to almost every single location. So initially I was using that to be like, okay, like where else? That's where I noticed these lines. Like you can call laylines whatever you want. To me, they're more like occurrence lines. Like you follow these lines and there's like an occurrence here and there's occurrence here and this and this.
Starting point is 00:42:55 So yeah. So at mountainproject.com, you can download the app. It's vast, though. Like, it's, and it's updated constantly. It's also very weird to see areas that have certain types of rock where there's been access, and then you can cross-reference to incidents that have potentially happened, disappearances, people go missing, injuries, and then the area gets closed or restricted. We're getting in the conspiracy realm here.
Starting point is 00:43:26 That's not a conspiracy. That's just an observation. No, that's an observation entirely. I agree with you on that. You'd mention there would be some interference coming eventually. Is that just because you're near a certain area? But I don't know. No.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Where I'm at right now is directly in the city. I think that I think electronic interference when conversations like this happen seem to be a consistent thing. Oh, dude, you're telling me. We were getting that when you started talking about the one area outside of St. Louis. It was starting to happen right then. Yeah. Okay. So we'll tie this.
Starting point is 00:44:06 We'll tie this in just because it adds to the allure. So the first time I ever went to Weldon Springs, I had listened to the podcast where, I believe his name is Michael Scott. He had told a story about taking his father out there. And their first trip, they had heard, you know, like chatter in the woods. I can't remember if it was like a wump or like a tree knock or whatever. So I was like, mean, this place is like really close to an area where I frequent a lot. I'm just going to drive down here. There's a climbing gym out there really close that we go to.
Starting point is 00:44:41 And my partner and I was like, hey, we're going to go check this spot out just to see what happens. So we drove out. I didn't, I hadn't looked at a map really. I just picked like a pinpoint on my. Apple Maps or whatever, and was like, we'll drive to this location. We were there maybe five minutes. Nothing happened. I went, the second time I went out, I drive a newer truck.
Starting point is 00:45:08 A lot of the truck is electronic. Obviously, it's literally like a computer with wheels. I spent some time in the woods. I had some issues with my phone that kind of peaks some entrance. I was like trying to find my location and my phone just kept freezing, like completely lagged, which I've never had that happen. I've been like miles out at climbing areas where there's no tower and I still have service or I still at least have like satellite, SOS, I'm here, there's an issue. So in the middle of this area, walking on a trail, no big deal. And my phone is just lagging like crazy.
Starting point is 00:45:52 can't get off the screen, like can't click the button to go to the home screen, trying to close everything, nothing. So this goes on for two minutes. I'm just standing there like, I have no clue where I'm at, what's going on? So I'm like, that's odd. I do the trail line. I get in my truck and I plug all my stuff in. I'm still, I've only been in St. Louis a year. So I'm very new directions-wise. So I plug my phone in. I type in the GPS to get me home. and I start driving, and I noticed that there was a lot of traffic for whatever reason. So I took a back route, like a backroads, like not the main highway. And everything in my truck, my navigation screen, all the dials, so, you know, everything, everything even down to like my, whether or not my seatbelt is plugged in.
Starting point is 00:46:45 Like, everything goes black. So screen, like the heads up dial. for like speed my headbytes all shut off i'm on the phone with my partner and that conversation just abruptly ends because there's nothing but my car i'm still able to drive i'm not exactly sure how because this truck has essentially electronic steering but literally everything shuts off so that was the first the second time i went and that was the first time i had issues with any type of like tech. I tried to dumb it down and like spent majority of that evening trying to figure out
Starting point is 00:47:30 what could have caused it. I called the dealership the next day and they were like, we've never heard of that. We have no clue. That's super weird. If it happens again, you might want to bring your car in. I'm like, okay, yeah, it's a 2023, so it's not old. So yeah, that happens. So this radio interference thing or the communication interference,
Starting point is 00:47:51 I think it's pointed because of, I don't know, people are like, yeah, I'm being watched. I don't think I'm being watched. There's no thought like that in my mind. But I do think that there's other realms in our world that could potentially want to hinder or slow communication of these things happening between people, and especially when it comes to a mass like, hey, yeah, look, like, this is what happened to be. We might have some issues, and then, you know, you're sharing it, and however many people listen to your podcasts. Like, that's a lot of travel, and that's a lot of intent, and that's a lot of focus.
Starting point is 00:48:36 It's enough. Yeah, it's enough. Like, you hear clicks. And I know this from the graffiti realm, which we can get into. but if you know what you if you're aware of what happens if someone's listening to you you know what to listen for if except hopefully yeah yeah so like you get the clicks you get the buzz your phone dumps completely like battery wise yeah so yeah that's a whole realm and the interference thing for me personally i think it goes back to a i think i think I think that people pay attention and the right people pay attention because something is apparently going on and I don't want to get into the conspiracy like, yeah, there's like a giant cover up or whatever because we just don't know. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

Ice cold, instantly refreshing and impossible to put down. Made for summer only at Starbucks. Logic. Like we have no explanation and no idea whatsoever. From my intrigue into the magic realm and the UFO realm, there's a really prominent guy. He's a doctor. He's a leader in many ways of as far as the ideas of what's going on. in the UFO realm. And he regularly talks about,
Starting point is 00:51:35 there's a whole other force that's paying attention, and they'll do whatever it takes to just erase it if they need to. Like, they'll kill the call. They'll, if you're on the phone, if you're texting about it, like something may happen. And it's, you know, that's like that boils into like surveillance or whatever. Yeah, exactly. Stuff like that has happened.
Starting point is 00:51:57 Yeah. So I totally get what you're saying. For sure. It's a very interesting conversation once you start focusing on it. Yeah, yeah. This guy, too, has a really important book, in my opinion, where he, through some math, you can potentially predict or intercept the, let's just say that the high strangeness realm. He has, he's pretty convinced, and at this point, I'm pretty convinced that there's, a mathematics code that allows you to essentially pinpoint pretty close where people are going to see UFOs, where people are going to see cryptos, where people may have experience with Bigfoot.
Starting point is 00:52:43 That's a whole other realm to get into, and it's really crazy, and it doesn't really make sense because it's very confusing. But once you get it, you're like, holy crap, this could potentially be something real. So yeah, we'll leave that part at that. If you have questions about it. Yeah. What's the name of that book? That sounds pretty wild. So, yeah, here, I'll just give all the info.
Starting point is 00:53:06 So his name is Dr. Allen Greenfield. Oh, yeah, yeah. He has, yep, yeah. So people are going to hear it, and they're going to be like, yeah, that's it. Secret cipher of the euphonauts is his book, and it talks about the book. the book focuses on a cipher that allows you to, I don't want to say predict, but potentially encounter everything in the, that's not really of our realm, you know, our world.
Starting point is 00:53:44 He's a former, he's still a magician. He's a former occult magician for a very prominent occult. society, he no longer deals with them because they're pretty kooky, like most of them are. But that book and where that cipher came from and all the information in it is, it's like when you start adding everything together and looking at stuff and really searching, like it's really hard to not be like, holy crap, like this thing is legitimate, like this cipher makes sense. And Greenfield is like, it's listening to him and reading about him and reading stories that he tells are like, it's, yeah, skepticism is massive. But when you start paying attention and then listening and reading and researching and figuring out this cipher, like the potential for things to happen in our realm, experience-wise, seems to peak a lot.
Starting point is 00:54:53 And that, I mean, that book is, it's mind-blowing. It's really confusing, but I think there's some legitimacy to his claim to an extent, you know. That sounds really interesting. The dude basically is, yeah, he's like, I can essentially predict when and where on what day, at what location, almost down to the exact time where someone's going to have an encounter with a UFO. And you use the cipher and you understand how to use it and you learn this. And then you have like, you look back historically and you're like, holy crap. Like this code basically corresponds directly to this incident with this person. Yeah, it's, that's a whole other.
Starting point is 00:55:44 That's like a 10-part interview about that realm on its own. That sounds like a real big rabbit hole you could go down, which would be very interesting potentially. Yeah. Gotcha. But with that being said, he has a lot of interference that comes through
Starting point is 00:56:02 during his interviews that are recorded. Oh, good, right. Yeah. I hear it more and more pretty regularly now, and it's not just from him. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:13 So electronic interference from whatever is, you know, definitely a thing. Let's just chalk it up to that. Absolutely. Yeah. We got a question for you.
Starting point is 00:56:22 And that was a fine. That was a fascinating side conversation. I didn't know we were going to go there, but I'm glad that we did. Thinking over all the different things you've experienced, what do you feel is the closest that you may have been to a Bigfoot over the years? So, 100% Weldon Springs. It's really crazy. I'll tell you this story. It actually involves my son and my mother as well, and my mom's dog, which is,
Starting point is 00:56:52 This just made everything, like the story that leads up to it, the experience, and then the experience with them at a later date really solidified everything for me that there's potentially something here. So there's a point on the trail. The trail is the Loess and Clark Trail. There's a point where the trail runs through, and it's short. This is the thing that really killed me about it too. There's a parking lot. There's a trail that walks straight in the woods. It takes maybe 20 minutes to get to the end of it. If you want to keep going, you'll walk for an hour and a half.
Starting point is 00:57:27 I had an issue where I was walking through this portion of rail, and there's a lot of, I'm not going to call them tree structures because that's a giant leap, but there is a lot of really, we'll call it odd growth for trees. So there's a lot of really odd growth in this one area. And I mean, if you see it, like you look, it's like walking down a tunnel of trees that are all intertwined. They almost look like they've been manipulated to encapsulate certain portions of the trail. And then it's only in this short area. The first encounter or instance that I had, I was on my way back from the end of the trail.
Starting point is 00:58:19 So heading back towards my vehicle in the parking lot. I go into the woods pretty regularly. I take, you know, what everybody else takes. It's dark at this point. I'm walking back and I feel, and it started as a feeling. And this was the thing that made me pay attention. It started as a feeling. I was like, this is odd.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Like it feels like something's walking with me on my left and right. People would call that flanked. I think it's based off of how. the trail is laid out. It's dense foliage pretty much directly next to the trail in this one area, and then it opens up into trees. So I'm walking through this area, and I feel this, like, I feel like something's there, like someone's there, or there's an animal around me. And during the walk, I could hear to my left and my right what sounds, like footsteps. So like something on the left and the right is following me. And you hear people are
Starting point is 00:59:26 like, yeah, I walked and I took 10 steps and I stopped. And then I went a little faster and I stopped really roughly. The same thing. That's happening all day long. So I'm walking through and I keep hearing this and I stop. And I'm like, okay, cool. Let's just see what happens. I carry two compasses with me for a couple reasons. I won't dive into that and why. But I pulled out both compasses, no magnets anywhere nearby, my phone's not by me. I purposely hold them as far away from my body as I can to try to, you know, limit the potential of any type of static interference. And they're both spinning, but they're spinning opposite ways of each other and at different speeds. And they're not the same compass, but they're the same, manufactured by the same company.
Starting point is 01:00:18 And yeah, it's just super weird. So I hear these footsteps. I feel like somebody's following me. I pull the compasses out and they're just rotating. And I'm like, okay, it's just time to go. So calmly put my stuff away. Keep going. And whatever was to the left and the right followed me to the point where this heavy foliage stops.
Starting point is 01:00:43 And from there, it's like a two-minute walk to the car. Yeah, so that was the first thing. That was the thing that really, I was like, this is super odd. There's no reason for any other animal to do this. It does not sound like a human. There's no noise other than like the faint like step. And it's purposeful. There's intent to not be heard, but you still hear it because it's the woods.
Starting point is 01:01:11 The other thing about Walden Springs, it's really odd, is everyone is out of there at night. Very rarely do I ever see anyone go in after dark. And once you get into this one area, it is like dead quiet, no bugs, like no chirps, no squirrels. Like, no, you don't hear anything. You might get like some tree rustle from squirrel or like I saw an armadillo walking around, but he's like super quiet. So the whole entire area is just like dead quiet, which is really odd to me.
Starting point is 01:01:50 So yeah, that, like, it, it was enough to where I could hear that I was being potentially followed or to an extent like escorted out. Does that make sense? Yeah, no, it absolutely does. And I did want to clarify on something. So when you got to the part where there was the foliage turned into. a space where there was nothing, it stopped before going into that area, right? Okay, wow. Yeah, which is, which that, and that was like a giant, like, red flag to me, because if something's following you and you can't see them to the left and the right, but then you get to the point where
Starting point is 01:02:34 you could look and see and it stops, that's, that's full-blown intent. Like, some people would say, say that's like predator stalking to an extent. Like an animal is going after prey and it's, it knows that it can't be seen here, but it also knows that once it gets 10 feet down the trail, it has to stop or it's going to reveal itself. So yeah, that was the first thing that really ticked it for me where I was like, there's something going on. So the second time, I was with my family. My mom has a rescued half border collie, half Australian Shepherd, maybe to, or no. Maybe a sheep dog?
Starting point is 01:03:20 I can't remember. He's really cool. We rescued him from some crazy people. So he's super quiet. He doesn't bark. He's not tiny, but he doesn't weigh enough to where he makes a ton of noise. The same thing, we go in, we walk to the end of the trail. I had done some stuff to try to get a,
Starting point is 01:03:43 to see if I could get some sort of response. And we'll all talk about that after the fact because it's a whole explanation as well. So we're on our way back. My kid is at the very end. My mom is in between us with her dog and I'm up front. And I'm like, hey, it's narrow. Like we'll go through here. And we're all hearing the same exact thing, basically at the same exact time or the same exact
Starting point is 01:04:07 point in the trail as a start point where the foliage is thick. And the same thing happens. We're walking out. We keep hearing stuff. We keep stopping. And it's like, what's going on? This is crazy wild. The dog was the thing that really had me pay attention a little more at this time.
Starting point is 01:04:32 He doesn't, he walks in front. He pulls when he walks because he's. just, you know, he was a rescue and probably didn't have a great life initially. But he wasn't walking ahead anymore while this was happening. He was trying to coil around my mom's legs, like with his, he's on a leash. He's not free. And he's, it's almost like he knows something's going on, and he's trying to get as close as possible. And my mom's, hey, you have to walk in. I'm in a trip. And at this point, we're walking with no lights, like no lights at all. and the dog is, you know, it's creating a hazard for my sweet mother.
Starting point is 01:05:12 So I'm like, yeah, give him to me. So I'm like, maybe he's just like concerned or whatever. But then he starts like really coily when we get towards the end of the thick. And now he's wrapping around me and he's like pressing his entire body weight into me like something is startling him or making him uneasy. So I'm like, okay, we just got to stop. So we stop. Same thing, we don't hear any movement.
Starting point is 01:05:41 We don't hear footsteps. You don't hear breathing. There's no communication. There's no other sound from any animal anywhere. It's so quiet that there's a shooting range a couple miles away. It's so quiet in this one point or in this area where I can hear the shots that are far, like far. And I'm like, okay, this is, it's just super weird at this point. So we stop, we hang out for a few seconds, attention, walk a little more, same thing, the dog is coiling, stop again, and this just continues until we get to the very end of where the foliage is.
Starting point is 01:06:22 And we get past that point, dog is totally fine, like smiling, happy, tail wagging, no coiling, just normal. We get back to the car, we're ready to go, no issues. So this is, and this is literally within a week's time that this is happening. The only people that know just to try to clear skepticism. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

So yeah, those two things were the really big things for me out there initially.
Starting point is 01:08:50 And then it's just, it keeps getting bigger. That's some wild stuff. It makes me want to look more into that area for sure. I'm sure once this gets out there, there's going to be people that reach out that are like, yeah, he's not the only one to experience weird stuff in that area. It's probably widespread. Yeah, I see hunters regularly,
Starting point is 01:09:14 and they're literally like everyone's, the area closes at 10 in the fall. and 10.30 in the summer. The same with the nature preserve. The moon area, which is really close, like less than a mile away, closes at dusk. The time is really odd to me. There's no reason that you couldn't be out in these woods. As long as you're adequately equipped, you have enough light, water, whatever, you could walk through these woods for miles and not really have any issues. If you carry a firearm, like same thing. Like, there's no reason that you couldn't be out there, but everybody leaves almost as soon as it gets dark.
Starting point is 01:09:58 In the past two months that I've been out there, I've seen one car stay later than I was. And it's a person that I've seen on the trail and in the parking lot before. And that's the only time I've ever seen anyone stay later than I. It's super odd to me. The timing is really odd to me. And that time being placed there for whatever reason is really intriguing. You don't just pick, like, why would you not say the park closes at, why go to 10 p.m.? Like, why push to 1030 in the summer?
Starting point is 01:10:34 Is there potentially something going on later that someone's trying to prevent people from being in the woods or in this area past a reasonable hour? It's just, it's super weird to me. Yeah, it makes you wonder, and this is not an area where you can camp overnight, it sounds like. No. So there's a trail that runs through there, and I believe the previous guests that talked about the area mentioned it. It's called the Katie Trail. It's a trail that runs all the way through Missouri. People run on it.
Starting point is 01:11:06 They ride their bikes. There are camping locations on that trail, but through all the research I've read, it's high. suggested that you are in those areas before 9 p.m., which is also really odd for me. Oh, that's, that's even weirder, dude. Yeah, it's like they want you, like if you're, I race bicycles for a really long time. I raced all over the country. I've ridden thousands of miles, thousands of hours at all times. when I was racing at my highest peak, I was training in the evenings. Like, I would ride my bike until midnight some night, you know.
Starting point is 01:11:48 I would be out on gravel trails until 10, 11, 12, sometimes 1 a.m. This one stretch of this area, everything's getting before 10. In your camp, out of the park, everything is before 10. It's super odd, and I can't figure out why. I've talked to, I talked to one U.S. Forest Service person I found out there, or I saw. And I was like, hey, do you know why this area closes at 10? And this individual was like, I have no clue. That's how it's been for a long time.
Starting point is 01:12:24 And he was like, we're regularly told if we see people to, you know, be like, you've got to get out, park closes at 10 or the area closes at 10. It's just crazy odd. You can't park in, I guess if you wanted to do like super stealth camping, you could have a drop off go out there, camp all the way through the evening and essentially blend in the daytime without anybody really noticing. But I can't find any signs of anyone camping out there at all, which is also odd to me. yeah and definitely i'm not telling you to do that allegedly yeah it's yeah it's been the thought has crossed my mind a almost every single time i'm out there i'm like i should just stay and see what happens but then you know who knows what the ultimate consequence for that is yeah i would be i would i will say this i would not be surprised if
Starting point is 01:13:31 some sort of park ranger or law enforcement showed up. And if they saw a vehicle, they would probably go in and be like, hey, you've got to leave. You can't camp here. You know what I mean? So who knows? Maybe it'll happen one day. Probably not allegedly.
Starting point is 01:13:51 Exactly. Have you gone to, you brought up Marley Woods earlier. Have you been there or is it just a place that you've researched into? No, so it took me a pretty, I haven't been there. It's taken me a pretty good time or a pretty good amount of time to find the actual location. It's doable. You just have to dig. That's all I'm going to say.
Starting point is 01:14:15 But the goal is to go to the vicinity. The main issue with Marley Woods, it's very, from what I can tell through research, it's not easily accessible, A, and B, you stick out like a sore thumb if you're not from there, which makes it hard to try to go in illegally to an extent. Maybe someday I'll get some crazy call and someone will be like, hey, yeah, come through here. You can see what happens. So no, have not been.
Starting point is 01:14:48 Will I try to go? Potentially? Who knows? But that area is not the only area or that location is. not the only location in that area that has issues. And that's something that a lot of people don't realize. Yeah. Yes, you hit it on the head because what people, just like you said, people don't realize that, okay, the weird stuff doesn't just stay on Skinwalker Ranch. Yeah, the whole area is weird. So if you've got this area where it's like a hollow ground or holy ground
Starting point is 01:15:22 in quotation marks and you're like, you can't go there. If you can go to the area around it, you're probably just as good. Yeah, I totally agree with you. on that one. Have you heard of any? We're getting some. Oh, are we getting some audio feedback. Yeah, there you go. Okay. Have you heard of any Bigfoot experiences from around that area? Yeah, there's a couple that are documented. They're not like really out there. It's older stuff. But yes, in short answer, yes. That whole area has a lot of UFO stuff. And there's that. I don't know. It's hard to say yes or no, but there's that theory. that Sam Squamch out here is
Starting point is 01:16:03 potentially tied in with those stuff. So it would only make sense to have like both. I just think that whole area, there's got to be something out there that's causing all of this. And I, like you said,
Starting point is 01:16:19 Skinwalker's not the only spot. That whole entire you went to basin has a lot of odd stuff. Utah is just weird in general. But same with Marley. Woods. There's surrounding areas where people have had stuff. There's reports of stuff going back 100 years from light anomalies. It's not just at Marley Woods. It's a pretty vast. If you drew a circle around it, same thing. It's 50 miles each way. Like there's issues. Would you ever want to
Starting point is 01:16:50 have the opportunity to actually have a visual sighting of a Bigfoot? Yes, but, and this is a big, for me. I don't know if it's beneficial. Yeah, for proof-wise, yeah, cool, it'd be sweet to walk into the woods and he's hanging out with his buddies and they're, you know, right there and they're like, yo, hey, my concern with potentially to have a visual from other areas of interest, my concern is, my concern is, what would happen after. I don't know what the outcome is.
Starting point is 01:17:36 If people, this is one of those things that's really, it's nerve-wracking for me. Like, people are like, yeah, I want to see it, I want to see it, I want to see it. But no one, there's a ton of accounts of people saying, yeah, I've seen them, and this happened. But none of them are really the same. It's all different. and some of them are not very good
Starting point is 01:18:03 and the aftermath is not very good. The hitchhiker thing is a major concern to me, but also I personally think that if you have that and it's not in the best headspace or not at the right time, it could be detrimental, which is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but the human brain is vast and I don't know if unlocking that realm would be a good thing currently. I think later on it might be great to see something.
Starting point is 01:18:50 I'm not counting on it. I highly doubt I ever will. There's areas of concern for me in that. And it plays on a total different realm. would it be cool? Yeah. Do people want to hear about people seeing Bigfoot or Sasquatch or Yeti or, you know, a skinwalker, a windingo or whatever?
Starting point is 01:19:12 Yeah. But there's major repercussions that I don't think general population understands when having those interactions. I think it's really important. I told you like intent is a big thing. I think that your intention. going in and doing research and being in the field per se, those lead to a lot of experiences. Yeah, it's just, it's, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:19:46 Maybe, but maybe not. I think that it could be one of those things. That's potentially so wild that I'm like, holy crap, like I can't even comprehend this right now. There's a joke. I told my mom, she was like, what would happen if you saw one? And I was like, I'd probably just be like, holy crap.
Starting point is 01:20:04 Like, you're right there. But what happens after the fact? I think if I, with further research, I'm more comfortable to that. But it's, I'm not counting on it. And I'm not out here being like, I'm going to see one today. I want to see one today. And I think a lot of people do that. I also think actively putting it out there into the ether per se,
Starting point is 01:20:30 I feel like there's a timeline, and that's a totally different realm to go down. And I don't think currently right now that timeline is the right time to see or have a visual interaction. For yourself personally. I know that's like, yeah. I honestly don't, yeah, that's one of those things that I've thought about a lot. And it's really, it's a tough thing for me to be like, yeah, that'd be sick. because I just don't know if it's within the timeline of where I'm at currently. I don't know how long I'm going to be here.
Starting point is 01:21:06 I'd rather have an interaction long-term at if I move. If I'm like, yeah, I'm going to move to here. I'd rather have that interaction somewhere where I am based long-term. And I'm not talking like one or two years. Like if I'm in a spot for 10 years and it happens, like that's right. at. I think the comfort thing is there. It makes me uncomfortable to think, like, I could see something, and that's it. Like, there's no, my ultimate goal would be further interaction and investigation.
Starting point is 01:21:40 To see, like, just seeing one, like, yeah, that'd be cool, but that doesn't do anything other than give you the, I saw one badge per se. Right. You know, I want to be in the realm where it's, I saw one. I understand why I saw one. I understand geographically where I saw one. And I want to know the exact reason why they decided to say, okay, you're good to go. You know what I mean? I feel like it's weird to say, but I feel like they're like, this person's good. Go ahead. This person's good to an extent. Maybe just peek out from behind a tree and say what's up real quick and dip back in. this person does not need to see you right now just watch from afar just chill and hang out from afar i don't think that idea or that thought is really like i don't hear it in interviews or read it like people are like yeah i just want to see one like they don't think about all of it as a
Starting point is 01:22:45 whole from what i've heard over the years it totally affects the rest of everything the hitchhiker effect is very real and that effect can happen even if you don't see one i think you can be in just in the area and not have a visual and it can still i think that's a thing i think that is real big for society will be right back after these messages if you want something done right you do it yourself that's why you change your own oil you wouldn't trust your engine to just anybody so go with the full synthetic motor oil you can trust pens oil ultra Platinum offers engine protection for the lifetime of your vehicle.

Starting point is 01:24:17 slash ERP. The Starbucks iced torchata shaken espresso is back for the summer. Crafted with cinnamon, vanilla, and nutty notes of toasted rice. Handshaking was smooth blonde espresso and finished with Bilt milk for a creamy touch. Made for summer.
Starting point is 01:24:32 Only at Starbucks. So. If there's one thing that people can, you know, like, I don't know how many people are going to listen to this. If it's one person, tight, if it's $2 million, cool. My, personally, I think that people need to think outside of the box when it comes to this anomaly. I think there's a lot of, I mentioned it before, there's a lot of like regurgitated stuff that comes up from previous interviews. Someone will listen to someone and then say everything that person said, but as their own words.
Starting point is 01:25:21 I feel like especially in the Bigfoot community, there's a lot of people that really should take the time to look at it, not, not with no input from other people or people. previous interactions. I feel like people do this and they're like, oh, I'm doing it because I think it's cool, which is great, but I don't think that they're thinking outside of the box on why it's happening or where it's happening or who it's happening to. I think there needs to be a lot of a flipping research where people are doing it
Starting point is 01:26:03 in a way where it's not just beneficial to them. it's beneficial to everyone as a whole. And it's not for disclosure. That will never happen in any realm. I think people need to look at it for themselves from a different box that they're normally comfortable being in. I think that if you go out in the woods and you want to experience this
Starting point is 01:26:35 or you want to potentially see Sasquatch, maybe think about it long term and think about why and think about different ways to potentially have an interaction. I personally do a couple things every single time I go out that other people have done, but they've done it in different realms, not the Bigfoot realm, and they've had very real responses to those things that they're doing. Yeah, so, yeah. That's, yeah, that's a really interesting, I think, prompt for people to do their own research into, because I've had, yeah, that that's a whole other discussion, maybe for another time. But I like the way you're thinking there.
Starting point is 01:27:23 I've, man, I've even had that, because there's, with aliens, there's like CE5. And so what if there was something like that for the Bigfoot realm? I don't know. Yeah. I'm not an expert in that. Yeah. Yeah, and it's one of those things, too, that's like there's information available, but a lot of it is just recycled and a lot of it has individual input that's not beneficial
Starting point is 01:27:47 scientifically in both realms, in many realms. And I think that's a major issue currently that people need to look at and say, okay, there's a better approach that's more beneficial for everyone. why don't we stop doing this and try to do this? Or why don't we do this thing, but do it in a different way? Intent is, I'll preach intent all day long. If you walk into the woods and your intention is to experience nature, potentially have some sort of interaction with whatever's out there,
Starting point is 01:28:29 respectfully understand that you're in their realm, it's not yours it's that those woods are not ours like we're just visitors i think if the intent is focused like that you could have people would have more beneficial and more long-term experiences that other people can be like okay yeah that makes sense that's cool i've never heard that i wonder why they did that you know everybody's like i go in the woods i whack a tree with a baseball bat or a stick three times and I get a stick knock on a tree immediately after. I go in the woods, I blast this sound and I'm getting a response. Or I go in the woods and I whistle and I hear a whistle. Like, you're just doing the same thing other people are doing. Maybe I've, I had a, the same
Starting point is 01:29:27 night my mother and my son and my mom's dog walked out of the woods, I had, they, they heard a direct response to something i'll call it a telephone i make calls with this telephone directly after i make the call with this telephone two things happened two extremely rat loud knocks between two rocks so imagine like large pebbles in your hands and you're smacking them one two i didn't hear that but my mom and son who were 25 yards away from me, heard it clear as day immediately after. I made another telephone call. Directly after that, a large pack of coyotes just go wild, so loud.
Starting point is 01:30:21 But the intent was there to try to get a reaction that is not based off of normal practices. using the telephone in quotations, potentially got the response because it was like, what is this? I've not heard this in this area. I've not heard this sound. I need to communicate.
Starting point is 01:30:47 This thing is here. I don't know what's making this sound. Everybody else pay attention. Does that make sense? Yeah, it does. Yeah. So, yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 01:30:58 and I can, I'm willing to share that with you. I don't know if I would like to put it out just yet because it's very secretive and it's very spiritual and it's not for everyone. It's called a telephone for a reason. The smart, the research challenge that listen might be able to figure out exactly what it is, but it's super powerful. And almost every single time I've used it from that point on, I'm getting consistent responses. And they're not always immediately after, but always within five to ten minutes of making this call, in quotations, big in quotations call. Yeah, that sounds very interesting.
Starting point is 01:31:43 Yeah, that would have to be a conversation we have after the call sometime for sure. We didn't even get into the graffiti room too. No. There's like constantly stuff happening there. That, yeah. Levi, I think we'll need to be in touch. It feels there needs to be another conversation down the road. Perhaps there's parts we didn't even get to, but the stuff we went over was definitely needed to be talked about.
Starting point is 01:32:10 But I just want to say thank you so much for coming on. There's a question I always ask. So people are going to probably ask me, is there a way to get in touch with Levi? It sounds like you're probably just wanting to stay under the radar. are? No, I'm open to communication. I will say this, kind of a hard person to find, which is on purpose, general locations are good. If I'll share contact info with you for the general public, I'll provide an email. Okay. But yeah, yeah, I'm not out here being like, I'm the only person that's going to do this. I don't want to share my info. There's no point for me to data collect
Starting point is 01:32:54 if I'm not actively, you know, hey, I'm having this happen here. What about you? So yeah, yeah, if people want to reach out, they can reach out. I have very little social media on purpose. Okay. Levi, thank you so much for coming on the show. We're definitely going to keep in touch. We might have definitely a follow-up, I would think, in the future, regarding the graffiti stuff. But, man, thank you so much for coming on. I've really enjoyed it. Yeah, thanks. I really appreciate the opportunity. It's good to know that people care and there's a platform where people are like actively like, yo, you should share this. Like this is wild. Someone needs to hear it. It's good that you're consistently pushing info and data out there.
