who had a really interesting post about what he'd been experiencing. in a certain place in Tennessee and when he starts sharing what's going on in this area, it is amazing. I mean, you'll get it once it starts to unfold, but I mean, I'm calling this place Bigfoot Park in Tennessee. It is intense.

forward slash Bigfoot Society and Joy. All right, Bigfoot Society. We've got the privilege of talking to Craig today. We're going to be talking to Craig about his research that he's got going on down there in Tennessee. Craig is a gentleman where I saw a post that he had made on Facebook about some interesting things that he's been looking into in Tennessee. So I reached out to them and he was willing to come in chat for a member's only episode. And so here we are. But thanks for coming on, Craig. I had no problem. Thanks for having me, man. Excited. Nervous. Absolutely. I mean, we were

were chatting a little bit beforehand and I was like, oh man, yeah, this is going to be, this is going be good stuff. This is going to be more of a guided interview kind of, you know, we're going off of each other. So it'll be good times. Tell me how did you get into the whole Bigfoot thing to begin with there, Craig? Totally by accident. I know it's the same story everybody does, but like I just gave up on society. Just was going through a lot of personal stuff. And I was like, I got to get back to the woods. I'm just going to go hiking. That's where I feel good. I just started walking. And I stumbled upon a print. And I was like, this is, there's no shot. This is real, you know, whatever took pictures didn't know what i was doing didn't know anything about taking pictures i took a

couple pictures i put my hand beside of it i've definitely come to find out i'm crap at taking pictures i don't know how to do the scale i know how big my hand is but you obviously don't but you know i didn't know that at the time but i took a picture of it and that was cool kept walking there again i didn't know anything about everybody knows bigfoot you know whatever but that's not my problem It's not where I live. It's whatever. I'm sure it could exist. I didn't care here and there.

But the prints were really big footprints. There were three of them originally right there. I took the pictures, took the videos, didn't know what I was doing, kept on walking. Again, I was just out here getting away. You know, started finding a lot of other stuff on the same hike. I followed a, I've not posted a lot of this, I've not talked about a lot of this, but I followed a particular set of tracks that kind of freak me. out a little bit because I kept following them and I've got pictures of them, but they

follow them for close to six miles. I know that sounds incredible and I'm sure it does, but just to reference after this, I do a lot of my hikes are to clear my mind to do whatever. So I'm not doing like two mile hikes. I average like 10 and 12 miles hikes. The second set of tracks, because again, I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't know anything about the Bigfoot around here. like I said, I thought it was Oregon, Washington, if anywhere.

I'm in a public place. I follow these tracks. It was pretty crazy. I took pictures, no big deal. I posted the first prints or the trackway of three. I got a lot of posts. I got to look in for some people just to see what was going on. Some researchers in Tennessee got hooked up with a couple of guys.

And then from there, it's just been a whirlwind. And I've met some crazy, I've met some crazy people and my life has been crazy, but I've also met some very interesting people, some genuine people, some people that I would never, ever get a chance to meet that had not been Bigfoot. And I've done some stuff. And like I told you in the pre-interview, I kind of hang out with some famous people. I've been around famous people. But it's nothing like what you do. Bigfoot, it's a quote that I get from Dr. John Barronchalk. I don't know if you guys know him.

He's always told me, Bigfoot levels of playing field. I mean, it don't matter who you are. You know, he's a Ph.D. I'm a semi-mechanic, and we talk on a regular basis. I mean, you wouldn't have that had it not been for like Bigfoot, you know. But since then, I've just been going obsessed. Something made footprints, and I want to find out what it is. And as I follow those footprints, I'm finding, man, I've found in the tree structures, the knocks,

the sounds, I mean, you just, you name it. Everything but an actual, I guess they say class A visual, and I won't guarantee that I've not had that because like I said earlier, there's been some stuff going on that I'm not even able to process lately. I don't know who, you want to share things with people. Like, that's my whole thing, and share it,

but you don't want to share everything with, say, the Wu clan, you know what I mean? And then they're automatically going to tell you what you're experiencing is woo. and then that's what you get until someone else tells you. And you're already formed your opinion. So it's like I don't, it's not that I'm withholding some of the stuff that I've got going on. I'm still processing it to see where I fall in it before I ask questions.

But yeah, I mean, there's a lot going on where I'm at. I told you before I've seen your eyes light up. I'm there every weekend. Oh, man. That's wild. Before, I want to ask about the tracks real quick. especially the ones the six-mile track. Was that in the state park that you're...

Everything that I've done. Everything that I have posted or talk about is there. I've even got other people's research that has been given to me from that area. And like I said, I've met some really famous people in this field that they've shared with me just because I don't, I'm not in it for the I am or nothing. They know I'm in it. I don't know what I'm in it for, but it definitely isn't for money. So they're like helping me out.

I'm helping them out. I share it with them. And as you know, this area is pretty nuts. Yeah. Before I ask a question, we're just going to, for a second. So Craig is in a state park in Tennessee. That's the most we're going to talk about it. But he has said that I can put his email address in the decision.

description for this if people want to contact him directly, correct? Yeah. Yeah, okay. So if you want to go a little deeper, you can. Yeah, there's a, after I've done, you know, six to eight months of research here, I've found out that there's multiple BFRO investigations in this area. Really?

Dang, I knew. I knew it. I'm not going to, I don't know if I'm allowed to. Well, Let's not say it's a BFR investigation so much as some members are there. Yeah. Can I say that? Would that make one?

I want to say it's a patient event, but I know these people are members and they come to this area. I think you could, yeah, I think you would say that. Like, I don't know if people are paying money to come out to these events versus these are just some people that are members of the BFRO that are going there. Can I, that's more accurate, I think. Maybe we'll say that it's been proven to you that the area is definitely active by things you found out about there are other people researching this area from what it sounds like. Yeah. And I personally have got multiple sightings out going back 50 years. 15 years?

Yeah. Goodness. And I've not been doing this this long. You know, this is just like I've said, people, I say, I say, hey, I'm. into Bigfoot, this is crazy now, this is what I do. And they make fun of you. And then when they come back next week, still in that Bigfoot stuff? Yeah, I'm still into it.

They make fun of you again. But then the third week, they're like, well, let me just tell you what happened to me. And, you know, when I get, I'm getting stories. I mean, these are people that I, someone really close to me that if he told me that I was not a human being, that I was a turtle right now that thought I was a human, then I'll just tell you right now that from here on out and my whole life's been a lot, I'm a turtle. Absolutely.

When it says something, that's how it is. I know as far as far as it is, that's what it is. Former military career, everything, right? He told me about a siding in this area while he was in the military. Not that the military was there. He was just in the military at this time, driving through. He's seen a tall, dark figure

cross in front of him, step over, which I don't know if you've been here. Okay, so not only we don't have gargoyles. They make everything as like, say, two by two square stone stacks, but up about four foot high. And they'll put a post in between them as the fence. Yep. So this creature stepped over that like it was nothing and kept crossing. This was in, I want to say 78 or 79 when this happened.

He's not been back since. Wow. And he's been to war since, and he won't go back there. The next day after this happened, they were called into their commanding officers, Chambers office. I'm not in the military. I don't even want to try and butcher everything, but it outranked him. Yeah.

Had a phone call from this county's local police station. I guess it would be the county sheriff, whatever. asking them what they saw, what they seen, because they had told the people at the base, and then, well, they called them, and they said, well, they had had reports of a bunch of wild hogs and been ripped apart on the adjacent farm in this area and wanted to know what they seen, because if it would have correlated in the general direction, and that's why he doesn't go back to this area. And he told me that after, I didn't tell him where I was at, but this is in the same,

I've said it in one of my videos. I've got it narrowed down. I'm not saying I know where Bigfoot is, but from the sightings that I've encountered and the miles that I've logged there, it's basically two ridges and a valley that I've got 50 years worth of stuff in. We've localed it down to there,

and there's more going on. Like I say, one of the areas I've got access to, there was a Russian, that came over a few years back, well, a few years, several years. And he stayed in this area. He said this one area for six weeks solid researching. I've got access to that area in some of his notes. Please take a minute to help out the show by subscribing on YouTube,

The push, as if you've seen on social media is, well, now I kind of tweet to a little bit. So by my calculations, once we get 824 people in the Patreon, we should be good to go. So what I did is we're going to do it a little bit differently. It's now adding the current amount plus the amount that are joining. And there's tons of people joining every day. It's wild guys. So right now we're 176 members are in there, ready to go out of the 824 that are needed in order for us to go full-time. That puts us at about 22%.
