Head on over to patreon.com forward slash the Bigfoot Society, and now let's get on with the show. And it was just that simple. And we did that for years. I was the babysitter.

and there were times when I mowed it was probably down to the mouth of the creek and down the back of the 80 acres it was probably a quarter of a mile or half mile down there and I would mow I would mow from the yard plus down there and sometimes when I was mowing there'd be there was one time this little little female

had her arm flap, flopped out and I said get back oh cut your arm off with this mower and and then I had I oh I had a rogue one that showed up that looked ape like that I had rescued this horse that was close to 16 hands tall and and it had been these people had left it in this pen with no water or no food and it weighed when I had the when I I went and stole it okay and and took it home and called the vet and that come out and he estimated the horse that should have weighed at least 12 to 1500 pounds to weigh in a hundred pounds so anyway so I had I had horses too so I put this horse with me and one morning I

It was early winter. It was just a dust snow on the ground. And all the horses were going crazy. And my gilding that I just had gilded, he was probably 16-hands tall. And he was the main, he was the alpha male in the herd. And the female was named Tito, and she was the alpha female. Anyway, I go out there because the horses are just, sounds like they're screaming. Well, I went out there and as I walked, and I had two or three colts at the time.

The colts were just going, the babies were just running in circles, and all of them were just carrying on and carrying on. Well, at the end of the barn lot, there was a gate that went into the, you had to go through under these trees. probably half a city block and then out into a hayfield. Well, so I had grabbed the camera and put it in my pocket because I thought it was a mountain lion that had them all upset. Okay? So I get out there and LD, the male, he rairs up on his back legs and he snorting and his nose holes. were great big. I mean, they were, he flared him up and he was walking on,

and he stayed right beside me where he was touching me, and he was raring up and walking on his back legs. Well, the female was on the left side. And anyway, and the one female, the other stayed up the, and they walked with me down to the end of the bar, where you had to go under these trees. And there was this. And I didn't, at the time, I didn't notice that the horse I'd rescued wasn't there.

I said, you leave my horse alone or I'll kill you. And I looked him dead in the eye. And I wasn't four or five feet away from him. I don't think. Janet called it skunking you. He skunked me bad and I couldn't breathe. And... Sorry, can you...

So is it like... Like a scent gland type thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's bad. It is bad. It takes your breath really bad. Well, I was, and I had quite a ways, at least a half a football field, to walk up, back up to the barn at least. and he let that horse go and she ran up past the two horses that were with me and then I just reased over and I grabbed the big gilding and I had him I hung on him and he took me he drugged me up to the barn well and they all followed me into the barn and by then it was like five so minutes after I'd been skunked I could breathe just a little

little bit better. And so I, all I could, I couldn't, I was so sick, I couldn't clean up the horse. So I gave her a shot, a penicillin shot, and gave her some food. And, and then I got from the barn to the house and I laid on the porch. And I laid there and thought, who do I tell this to? You can't call anybody. And who would believe you? Yes, they did, that a big foot was more. You know? And anyway, so, so anyway, I went in the house and I took some, well, I don't even, I think I just laid down. And I slept for the most part for three days.

And when I did wake up, I was like I had pneumonia. and I went to the doctor and the doctor said I had pneumonia and they put me on all kinds of breathing machine, you know, put me on a breathing machine and all kinds of stuff like that and antibiotics. And it took me a good year to completely recuperate from that. But anyway, so, but when I did finally get up and got around a little bit and I asked Shupinger, what happened to that that big foot? I said, I've kind of scared of that big foot, that horse. And she said, no, no, we kill him.

We kill him. That's all. So I never worried about it again after that. But, yeah. And so, yeah, and when I was telling Luke Groove's this, I don't know if you know Luke Gross or any of those guys down Texas. Luke Gross? Luke Gross.

He's real, anyway, and I was telling, well, telling him about that, and then about this dog man. And that's, the dog man's part of the reason that I left the farm, because, yeah, but anyway, and there is this, so, so I don't, I don't know. It's just, but. There's a ton, there's a ton that, was just shared that that's that's all incredible Connie do you know of an individual named Cory Holden yeah Corey used to come stay with me too he's a was he a cryptozoologist down in

van bering county well he used to be in van dering county but he ain't been there for a few years from what I gathered Connie what do you think the best evidence you were able to capture a big foot over the years was was it a pitcher or a hair sample or anything like that? Well, I get, I get, when Jan came, she got a bunch of hair from underneath the deck and gave it to, oh, golly, now I can't, she's Melba Ketchum. Oh, Melba. Yeah, yeah. Really? So Iowa, Iowa Bigfoot Hair was part of the yeah, yeah, Dr. Melchicketts, DNA study. Holy mackerel. So, yeah, yeah. Oh, and I had a, I, I don't know what, I, I, I, I don't know what, I, I, I, I, I, can't say it very good.

A metaphysicist? Metaphysicism. Yeah, yeah, sure. I can't either. Wilson, we cross from out in Arizona. Okay. Wilson has like 10 different degrees, okay? And he can stay too.

And he said that we had a portal close to my house. Really? Mm-hmm. Why didn't say that? Just because, well, because he, He had asked me if I'd ever seen anything strange. And I said, I've seen all kinds of strange things since I moved there. And since the old man moved me there.

And so I found me. The farm in Van Bering County. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, so, yeah, well, one instance, it was, it was, I think it was, the trees hadn't fallen, or the leaves hadn't fallen off the trees yet, but they were turning. and I could look out the kitchen window and see the back barn lot and I'm seeing I don't know if you've ever seen the heat on a hood of a car in the summertime. Yep. Wiggles.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, well, well, there is an area back there out behind the barn this one day that I seen. And I was looking at it. And when I was looking at it, a bigfoot stepped out of there and walked into the timber. Wow. Okay. So now on this property, we have Bigfoot portals and you're saying other creatures we're seeing as well. I think there's quite a few of them up and down the river because they used to have a whole lot of old coal mines down there.

And I think that they stay, they also stay in those coal mines. so that's but uh what other things would you experience on that that farm was it more than just bigfoot out there yeah i had that that one night it was september october it was after well anyway it was late fall and i was lean in this colt and and he was like five months old and when i would my horses, I always stayed with them for the first three days, basically, so they would bond with me.

And an old horse trick from old timers. Anyway, and I was, this was the first night, and all the other horses, there's five other horses out in the back barn lot, and I had the cold, and I had made me a place, and it was getting kind of chilly. So it was late September, early October. And I'd made me a pallet there, and I'd laid down there with a little cold. And, oh, it was about 2 or 3 o'clock. I just got really cold.

So I come in the house and made me a hot chocolate. And I had, there was, the whole front of the living room was all glass. And I had lights around. and whenever, and I always burn those lights at night if I was having a problem, or if the Bigfoot was going to come up, they did their magic and made the electric go out. Anyway, and I go in the house and I fix me some hot chocolate, and I'm sitting there and a recliner next to all these windows at the front, and I'd had a, what they call a floodlight,

in the front port, on the front porch. I had two of them actually. And anyway, I'm taking a sip of that and I see this thing running across the front part of the yard. And we had a horseshoe-shaped driveway that went around in front of the barn and then back up in front of the house and back out. And on the one side, I had the horse trailer setting. and I seen that thing running and it looked like you're going to laugh at me but on on the old ghostbusters movie where the gargoyles were running where they stand up and then they're on two feet and then they're down on four the dogs well that's how yeah as it was running that's what this thing was doing and I and I took off because

I afraid it was after the cult, because it was all by itself in the barn. I ran out there, and as I run past the horse trailer, something hit the horse trailer and lifted it up on two. And I was like I was running past the horse trailer, but I kind of preached off with it, you know, because it lifted the horse trailer up to where it was only on two wheels on the one side the side closest to me

like it was going to dump the horse trailer over on me anyway so I push off of that and I ran into the barn and I had a friend that I had a stadium light a couple stadium lights that all I had to do was plug in and that light light up a whole 10-acre place around for at least 10 acres, anything close.

Well, and I can remember hearing all the horses doing that screaming, weird noise, that sounds like they're screaming. But anyway, and I grabbed the coal, and I'm trying to calm him down after I turn the stadium lights on, and I'm standing there holding him and calming him down.

They say everything happens for a reason, but I suspect everything happens for a Reese's. Like this commercial break.

Did you need 15 seconds away from music or 15 seconds to eat or Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a Reese's. And that's when something hit the barn and it wood flattered all over, pieces of wood flattered all over. and it left a hole, I don't know, anywhere from three to four foot to five foot big on the side of the barn. Anyway, that's when I started praying. And I commanded it to leave in the name of Jesus Christ, and it did. And later on, we found a coyote that had been killed.

that had no blood in it whatsoever. And it got really bad after the old man died. Sorry, real quick, Connie, the coyote you found, how was it killed, do you think? I don't know. Was it? I don't know. The old man and I found it. You couldn't tell.

You couldn't tell. It just, it looked like it just laid down and died. But it had two marks. It had two marks in its neck. like you'd think of a vampire type thing, you know. But there was not one drop of blood in that coyote. Wow. Okay, sorry, please continue with you were saying things got really bad.

Well, anyway, yeah, it just got bad. And they killed a baby Bigfoot on this. They, for quite a while, for a few years, the dogman would stay over towards, the 600 acre state park that was up next to not Schemick

Schemick you're no no that's a 6,000 acre one no it's the other one it's the one that's just at site of Kiyosawa for the life of me I know that

and I can't Lacey Kiyosaka State Park Yeah Lacey Lacey Okay anyway yeah anyway and they about three miles from there I knew there were dogmen over there by the Des Moines River

because somebody had said that seemed something that looked like a dog but it walked on two foot. And I knew exactly what they was talking about. And these dogmen, they make a noise that just made my hair stand up and I got goosebumps and it just got bad where they had killed a baby or not a baby, but a young, a young big foot, and they had maimed. And they just, the dogman that I had seen looked like a German Shepherd dog that walked on its back legs, but was at least six weeks old.

So where was it that they had killed the juvenile? Was it in that park you'd mentioned, the Lacey Kiyosaka? No, no, no. They killed the juvenile over on my farm. Really? Oh, did you find it? Yeah, and they took her, but it was getting really crazy. So it's not that you saw, you didn't find a body of a dead juvenile Bigfoot?

No, no. I was there with the others when she was laying there, and they had killed her and maimed an older female. and I don't know if the female died or not. And they told me that I had to be careful of them because they were evil. They had no soul. They were evil. So you were there when there was a big foot on the ground

in its last moments of life, pretty much? Oh, yeah, yeah. I've seen baby ones that were born, that newborns too. I probably seen, I don't know, I've seen Bigfoot every day for 30, 40 years. Right. So I can't tell you.

And I've seen them from various stages up. When you saw the one on the ground where it was in the last, like it was just about to pass on, do you remember any details about what it looked like at that point? The little female? Yeah. Look like a person dying. So you would say it looked more like a person than an ape? Then?

Well, they vary. See, this is what, this is what people don't understand. Okay. They vary. They, I have seen them that looked, no, the ancient one, he looked like a hippie. He looked like a hippie with a handlebar mustache. That's what he look like. Okay.

But I've seen, I've seen females that are, are, you can't, you couldn't, If they weren't for their size, you would think they were human. But then I've also seen some that looked like baby boy. He looked more like a gorilla. He was one of Shepinga's offspring that I was around up until I left. And then I've seen some that look like orangutans. Now that, then, the red orangutan looking ones were over by the Mississippi River over by Montrose, Iowa. Okay, I'm very, I'm very interested in the ones that look like orangutan.

So did the face look like an orangutan as well? Kind of. Kind of. They just, I never got real up close to them. But Jay, what Jay's last name? I can't think of it. I've got a phone call that I've got to take. Can I call you back here in a few?

Absolutely. Yes, ma'am. I appreciate it. Okay. Okay. Bye. Hi, Connie. Yeah.

All right. All right. Thank you for calling back. There's a few questions I want to ask real quick, just in case I don't get another chance to ask them, if that's okay. How many toes did Big Red have? Those? Yeah. Four.

Okay. Well, five. Five. Five. Now, you, yeah, I don't, for the norm, most of them had five toes, five fingers. I've seen thousands of them. So, so most of them had the, what do you call it, where they, it's darsal break, yeah. Yeah, most of them have to, you have to realize that there are so many things.

that mess with them. Not only do they fight, especially the males. They'll fight and they'll get bite. Yeah, there was a hell of a fight one time. Anyway, sorry, between two Bigfoot? Yeah, yeah. Oh, they fight. Did you see that happen?

Yeah. Can you describe how that was? It was a pretty, that's for sure. they just you ever fight well I did yeah I know I know but that's just a thing

that hasn't really been talked about in the community or witness they will they will like somebody trying to take over they'll fight you

they'll fight or I've seen ones with part of their lip like one side of the lip hanging down to their chin oh wow I've seen

eyes that hung out seeing where they've got cotton traps or got shot or got various things and they're maimed they used to come for me for herbs because I lit I don't know if you ever heard of Cantrell Iowa but Cantrell's run by a Minanite and they sell large qualities of herbs and spices and different things. Okay. And I used to buy that and give it to them. Interesting. And, yeah.

So, but you, you and my mom, or my mom, my grandma was a Cherokee, not Cherokee, Shawnee, ancestry. Okay. And I thought it was funny not to change the subject that Shepinga, Shepingo, when I asked her what her name was, and she said Shepinga. Well, later on, I found out that Shepinga means Harryman and Shawnee. Really? It's fascinating. Do you think the area where that farm was in Van Bering County,

Do you think there's still things that happen to this day there? Well, I can tell you another little story. Okay. Shepenghis son, we called him baby boy. But he ended up the last time I seen him, he was nine and a half foot tall. And when he was younger, he looked like a gorilla. A lot like a gorilla. But anyway, I had, and I don't know if you, you know, another one of them.

outlaws was Coombo. I've heard of Mr. Coombo. I've been trying to talk to him for years, but someday, hopefully, I will talk to him. Yeah, he's a legend. But anyway, anyway, I never, well, Coombo and Bear

were fighting, okay? And Coombo had moved from down south to Missouri and was working up there at the college in Missouri in Kirksville. And he gets a hold of me and he wanted me to show show him where to go there at shimmick and stuff so my granddaughter and I this is about four years after I had left the farm anyway he wanted so we

met him and a couple other guys and but anyway and Janet had talked me some Cherokee because she said well the ones that talked with her talked Cherokee because she's Cherokee ended. Well anyway so I and growing up

baby boy was always getting into all kinds of trouble around the house he had drained the beer cans he was just I could tell you all kinds of different little stories but anyway but when Janet was here the turkey word for friend is knock knock is like knock but you drag it out well and i told and i told baby boy which he had they had went up to the north country to get him a mate and by then he had had a mate

and was it all six eight months and then i left but i told him before i left do not have nobody nothing to do with anyone, any little people, unless they are your, unless they say knock your friend. Well, so now go back later. After that, Coombo, and he had three or four guys, he wanted to go, they wanted to go bigfoot down there. Well, I took him down to the place to go, and I said to wop, and somebody will come, and sure they did. Anyway, Coombo was supposed to tell me what happened, but he never got a hold of me, because I didn't feel like it at that time. And anyway, so when I called him, he tells me that they went down there, and they did what I told him. And this beach, this big, dark-colored one and a female, and it looked like two or three offspring, come down to where I told them to go.

And he said, they would knock on wood. They whooped. And he said, they wouldn't answer back. He said, all they would say was knock, knock. and that's what I had told him not to five years before I had told him not to have nothing to do with anybody that didn't couldn't say a Cherokee word for knock so that so I thought that was kind of neat that's that's wild so when you said you brought them to the place to go were you referring to you brought them to your farm then in Van Beren County well the old crick the old creek yeah by the the farm. But yeah, yeah. But I never did tell Coombo that the Wapk meant or that I had to, and I knew it was baby boy right then, though he wasn't a baby. Connie, do you think stuff is still happening in that area if you had to guess? I don't know, because the dogmen, they were kind of encroaching on things.

and from the ones that I hear nowadays, they talk more about seeing these dogmen than they do Bigfoot. So remind me how long ago it was that you were last at this area when you'd move forward? Oh, I moved from there in the fall of 16 down to Missouri, which was about 50 miles away. And then every, and see, every year they would show up around mid-March, the ones that traveled. They always went down south. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. Your social media feed delivers plenty of advice.

Everything happens for a recess. Okay. The ones from my clan, they went down south. They'd come back mid-March, but they'd leave first October. And Patty Mac, I can't tell you her real name, but she'd down in Oklahoma. And a lot of times they'd go down to her place, down there around Hanobia, Oklahoma. Wait, so you have connections with Honubi, Oklahoma? Oh, yeah.

I went down there too. Yeah, I, Arla, yeah, I went down there to, Arla is Native American and went down there and stayed. And I seen Arla's Bigfoot's down there. And then when I was, we coming back from, from down there, we cut through the Daniel Boone State Park and Kentucky. Stayed the night. In Kentucky?

Yeah, yeah. Anyway, and I've seen some down there, encountered them. But I got to tell you something that's funny. Okay. And I can't remember names worth of who, but back there, 14, about, it was about 14 when the Cheryl, or Cheryl, from over around Chicago, she had talked my daughter into letting her come down. Well, they never told me because I wasn't allowed it because I didn't care for her. Because she just, anyway, her and Rick Cruz, have you ever heard of Rick Cruz? No. Anyway, they're big, they're big footers in Illinois. Anyway, they came down. Well, we had, Rick and I had gotten an argument, a little bit of our argument on, on, on,

on a program, and I can't remember which one it was, but anyway, that Bigfoot, he said, Bigfoot don't talk, and I said, yes, they do. And it's that simple. Well, anyway, so here come, here come my daughter with these two people that I didn't really care for. And this gal, evidently, and they, and Rick, he plays his flute. And, oh, they love, they love Christian music and Indian music. And if you play some Indian music, they're going to come and listen. They're drawn to the Native American music.

But anyway, so Rick and Shelley. So they come and Trace brings them, and here I am faced with them. And I said, oh, to Rick, I said, Oh, you're the one I wanted to fight with me about him talking. Well, I want to see if you really see him, you know. And so I said, well, where do you want to go? Well, this was in daylight.

And Trace says, well, let's take them over by Farmington to Schemick over by Schemick. So we went over to buy this little park. and that they told them, they told them, they verbally talked, and they told them that I was, I, I, I knew of their kind, and I was there and that I cooked things for them. The one that they talked to happened to be a relative to one that was on my place, and this is 11 miles away, that, that I had, that I made the best cinnamon, cupcakes that he ever tasted. And I had to teach you cupcakes. So I knew what he wanted to, when he asked for it. But anyway, then they, wherever they took, oh, they all knew who I was, but they wouldn't

have anything to do with the others for the most part, unless they would talk to me. Anyway, that, that kind of, that kind of blew their mind. something else I want to tell you too in Iowa and in Illinois I don't know if you know that they make they would make we had cornfields okay and they couldn't figure out what was knocking down two or three rows of corn and making a path and then each path every so often it was the big round really. Well, what they were doing, the bigfoot's were doing it. And what they were doing with, they get the deer, they'll hood the deer down those paths into those rooms, and then they'll kill them there. So they were like killing fields for deer?

Yeah, yeah, they used the corn, cornfield to do that. I can't remember if it was Pat that was telling me or some friend of Pat's that was telling me that they had, because Pat's in Illinois. And, yeah, anyway. So that's something else, too. Connie, who else did you invite to come up and check out the farm? What other researchers?

Well, mainly it was just Abe. Okay. And Janet, Janet, Abe, and Wilson. I don't think I had very many other than Abe and some of his, his brother, age brother, Nick. Oh, I know. I had Daryl. What is Daryl's? I'd have to.

They got the Iowa paranormal. Steve. Steve Tracy. Have you ever heard of him? No, I haven't actually. I don't know a lot of people from the Iowa bigfoot scene. He's from the Iowa paranormal. Now, they came down.

And they took, they took, what is Daryl's last name? He used to be a professor. You said they're both from Iowa paranormal, you said? Yeah, yeah. I don't know if Darrell's still in the Iowa paranormal or not, but Steve and Tracy is. And they got, I think I had a couple. I'm not sure I'd have to look through my stuff. But they had, they had were taken, they had made some Bigfoot.

They were, and they were also the ones that were telling me, about they were investigating just like half a block from where my dad lived there at Eldon. Gotcha. The Bigfoot's too. Oh, wow. I need to track

those guys down. Did you ever hear anything from any other Iowa State Forests, like Yellow River backbone? No, I had at one time, well, they somebody had said, oh, they estimated 2000

in the United States. States. There's more than that in Van Buren County. Do you think so? Oh, I know so. Oh, wow. I know. I'm going to ask, how do you know so? Well, sometimes on a full moon, they would move and do and travel together and do things. One night I stepped out and this was a 10-acre field, okay? And this was that they were crossing our 10-acre field across them. And they were headed to Lake Blasey State Park. Okay. Because that's the way they traveled down there next to the creek. And I looked out and there was, one of them were runners.

They were so close together. It almost kind of reminded me a Mardi Gras. The people, a way people are, I don't know if you've ever been to Mardi Gras or not, but they're just, standing room only, you know, you just move around that people that's that close. And that's how the Bigfoot were.

And that were just ones that was in my area. And they covered that whole 10-acre, 10-acre field that night. Wow. So it was like a festival of Bigfoot. Are you having to go ahead. They also, now, now every year, now, I know some of them go down to, Shepinga went to the North country to get baby boy a mate.

When he, my oldest granddaughter had started her monthly, and he knocked down the screen door. And I screamed at Shepinga to come and get him. And the next day she said they were going to take him and go get him. That's pretty intense, Connie. But then some of them go down along the Missouri River. And once a year, that's where they take them the younger ones to find mates that aren't, you know, so they're not inbred. For sure, I just know it's along the Missouri River down.

Yeah, yeah. Just, yeah, that's about all I know. Which for those not familiar with Iowa geography, that's on the opposite side of the state. It'd be the western border of Iowa. Yeah. Where we've been talking about is the eastern border of Iowa over by the Mississippi River. So that's really important to know that. Yeah.

And now, I don't know if you know, Jan had grew up with Fox. Right. Okay. Now, Fox told Jan that the one. One out in Colorado are cannibals. They eat each other? Mm-hmm. Oh, dear.

So that's what, before Fox died, that's what he had told Jan. Oh, boy. And he had told Jan how they had crossed the Bering Strait. There was three tribes of Bigfoot that crossed Bering Strait, and that they went for days and weeks without eating a lot of very much. much. And yeah. And that and the one, and the one tribe are the, is it the tribe that ended up out in Colorado are the ones that became cannibals. The other two tribes didn't. If you had to say go to this spot in Iowa and you probably have the best chance of seeing

a big foot, what would you say? First of all, you mean where, what spot? Anything. spot in Iowa? Yeah, if you could go anywhere in Iowa, where do you think is the best, the place with the best chance of you actually being able to see a big foot in that area? Oh, golly. I don't know. I don't just, well, usually anywhere along the Des Moines River, I'm guessing, because they, when I, back in 2000, I was doing, I did a map of Iowa and the dead. And the different reports, and most of them were along railroad tracks that were close to the Des Moines River. That's what I figured out. Is that map anywhere?

That's probably in your personal collection with the book, right? I don't know. I don't think I even had it up on the wall, and I don't know what happened to it, actually. I don't know. If you ever find it, I would be extremely interested to see it or read it. It sounds like you probably have reports that are not on the Internet. They're not anywhere except for in your position, I would guess. I don't, I just, what I did was I went through the sightings that supposedly sightings,

and I thumbtacked them on this map of Iowa, and it was mainly along the Des Moines River. and railroad tracks that was close to the Des Moines River. So you were going to like the BFRO and... Any anywhere, anywhere that had anything to do with Iowa. That's what I did. And I thumbtaped him in there. And I don't know if I took a picture or not or if I did. But I had just Jen and Spencer, Whitney.

Okay, those were four of my grandkids that had interoperals. actions with them. Really? And Jess and Spencer were the ones. They would just torment. The little females would just torment Spencer. Because he's a good-looking little devil. I got to tell you something funny.

One night he said he'd come home from work and he got off at work at midnight. He says, and he was staying with me. He says, Grandma, there's some bigfoot's out here. They want to tell you they're sorry that they broke the well. And we had an hydrant that they pulled it up too hard and broke it off. And the old man always complained, complained that it was the kids, but it was it was Bigfoot, we found out. But anyway, and that they had, he said, he said, this one out here,

he'd got a bull haircut. And he said the other, and I said, okay. So we went out and I talked to them And they said that they were the ones that broke the pump And they didn't mean to but they liked our water And because it was well water Anyway and then Then they invited me and Spencer over to their place

Spencer said, who cut your hair? Because the one had to look like a bullcat and he said the Amish and anyway and he says go to the tree farm and turn right and

go past the tree and the Amish and so far back in this field and we would be at their place we could come we was invite me and Spencer was invited to their place

and I laughed and I laughed and I laughed and I laughed Because how many people would believe that a Bigfoot would invite you to their place? Do you think Spencer or any of your relatives would talk about what they've experienced as well? Oh, yeah. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

Everything happens for a recess. Yeah, I think so. I think so. Spencer, yeah. Anyway, Spencer was military, went to school for a military MP and that was down at Fort Leonardwood,

Missouri. Oh, wow, okay. And anyway, and I had a lot of friends down Missouri that had dealt with with them and stuff and and this one friend he said we got to talking and I he said well he lived down there and he said he worked on he didn't tell me at the time what he did but he said he worked down there at Fort Leonardwood I said oh okay I said my my grandson's down there he's

military police. And he said, oh, really? Well, I said, him named Spencer, and anyway, after after a while, this person says, well,

I'm going to tell you, Connie, I am one of Spencer's instructors. That's hilarious. Gotcha. And he says, he says, and there's Bigfoot

down. down there. Oh, wow. Yeah. Big time. I've talked to people, yeah. And he said, he said, he said, everybody else would be oblivious. And Spencer, he'd say, he would notice Spencer smelling the air and turning and looking,

because Spencer can smell them too. If you can't smell them, you can feel them with the infrasound. Sure. If you're. And anyway, he just, he just thought it was funny because he said, He always knew when they were around because Spencer, by the way, Spencer acted, he could, he'd start smelling and, and he'd, like, hold out his arm and look at his arm, like, see if the hair was standing up on it. That's how he would tell.

Uh-huh. That's, so he would tell by if his arm hair was standing up. That's wild. Well, well, it's like, if like when your skin feels with this infrasound, it feels like, it feels like when your hair, your hair stands up. Your hair don't necessarily stand up, but it feels like it. I have taught people, I taught oodles of people how to tell when they were close. Another one that I taught to tell how they were close was Lester Finley. I don't know who is.

Anyway, yeah. Is he a big for research? Yeah, he is, yeah. Out of Iowa? Yeah, yeah. He was originally from Milton, Iowa. But now I think he lives in Pulaski. Can you teach us what you would teach those people? Well, you just, if they're to the south of you, you can, you just, what you do is you learn about your surroundings and how they make you feel. that's what I've taught all my kids and my grandkids

and you can I I taught Lester and I taught the kids how to tell and I've got lots of friends that I've had several friends through the years and I've lost track of them that that were firefighters that was saying how they got the one that was burnt real bad and they discreet.

describe him. I've got it. I've got it wrote down somewhere. Where was that at? But yeah. Yeah, it's out west. I can't remember for sure. Mount St. Helens or just like a random forest fire, fire probably in the Pacific Northwest. I don't

think it was Mount St. Helens. I think it was something else. I'd have to look it up and and... That's incredible. When you were in Honubi, what years were you down in Honobie? Hanobia. Hanobia.

Hanobia. Oh, gosh, let's see. I'm guessing it was around the first part of the 2000s. I don't think it was 2000. I think it was a little later than that. Were you involved with the siege years down there early 2000s when a Bigfoot tried to break into a cabin? I don't know if you've ever heard of that.

Well, oh, that was, yeah. Well, I talked to the gal that tried to make in the cabin that tried to take her little red-headed. son. This was a red bigfoot down there that tried to take her red he had right red hair and was that in the same town. Well, Hanobia is is um no it's there they're a bunch of little towns right like all clustered together all around in there so I don't know which one it was but I was talking to the gal that that yeah and she had two three kids and they had to move from where they was living because they kept trying to take her red-headed son.

Oh, dear. Do you have contact with that lady still? No, no. That's very interesting. I don't, well, I talked to Arla. You know, what's Arla's last name? I've heard the name Arla come up before, but it's no one I have connections with. Well, anyway, yeah, I can't tell you a whole lot about down there, just that that's where I meant Scott Nelson down there at a Bigfoot thing, David Pilates.

Oh, that's awesome. Did you ever hear of any, like, aggressive Bigfoot encounters in Iowa or ones that would try to break into houses or anything like that? Well, they all will to a certain extent. if you don't, if you don't, but if you don't know what you're doing and they're hungry, they'll do, do that. I always kept a 55-gallon metal drum of sweet feed that I, and I've made a, had the old man build me a lid for it,

a wooden lid with a handle that all they had to do is lift it up. And in the wintertime, for the ones that don't travel are, are ones that are crippled or screwed up somehow, so they stay put. And they would always just take one handful of sweet feed every day. That's all they, and the great big animals or people or whatever, because some of them, they vary so much from animal to people.

It's just, yeah, I don't know if they're huge. human. I know some of them are human, but I don't think all of them are. And I don't think all of them are eight. And yeah, I just, and I've, I think, I've seen thousands, not, I haven't seen one or two or a hundred. I've seen thousands. Because I was right there. They knew, they knew, I, and their formations. I know how to read their formations. And so. kind of feel like we could talk for hours and hours this has been so incredible and and i hope to maybe talk to you again uh someday i have some things that i want to say off air so that we don't have to just it's a thing or two i want to bring up but i just want to thank you so much for for chatting today Connie it has been a pleasure i can go on and on and on because i've dealt with it for years there and it just whatever you some things trigger other members reason without having to look in in my thing. But I had some from a diary long before the 80s, but like I said,

whoever took all my pictures and different things, my other old diary from back when I was a kid, yeah, they didn't want that stuff getting out. There's a group of people out there that are trying to keep this hidden, I think, and that's just an example of it. But thank you so much, Connie. Okay.
