Tonight's story comes straight from the woods of Ohio, where a group of seasoned Bigfoot hunters thought they knew what to expect
Starting point is 00:01:41 until they stumbled upon something that shook them to their core. Mike Miller, part of the Ohio Nightstockers, takes us on a wild ride through encounters with a creature that rocks the very foundation of what we thought we knew about Bigfoot. Rock throwing, eerie howls in an unexpected moonlit glimpse of a creature so large it defies belief. This is no legend, no memory. It's a first-hand account straight from the heart of Ohio's darkest forest. So stay with us.
Starting point is 00:02:08 All right, Bigfoot Society. You've got the privilege of talking to Mike Miller today. Mike is an individual from the Ohio Nightstockers group from down there in Ohio. We've talked to one of Mike's protégés, Cody, on the show recently. And afterwards, I was able to get connected to Mike. Mike has recorded over 10 years of interesting audio evidence from southeast of Ohio, some of which we will be listening tonight. And those have been also listened to by David Ellis from the Olympic Project. You may have also heard some of Mike's encounters that were featured in the Terror in the Woods TV show.
Starting point is 00:02:53 But Mike, welcome to the show. How's it going tonight, man? Thanks for having me. It's going good. How are you doing? Doing great, man. Just kind of hanging out and talking about Bigfoot makes for a good night. You know, there's, it's crazy how much wild stuff happens in Ohio.
Starting point is 00:03:12 And when I was talking to Cody, he was really sharing some interesting things. But before we get into that, you know, someone who has been involved so long as yourself, I always like to start off the interview by asking, what was it that got you into the Bigfoot field to begin with? Well, you know, I never, it never, I didn't wake up one day and say, hey, I'm going to go do this. I basically watched growing up in any show on Bigfoot or UFOs or anything, unexplained stuff.
Starting point is 00:03:46 I watched all that stuff, you know, in search of and all those old programs. And I was interested in them. And I never really thought anything was in Ohio. I didn't think Ohio had big enough tracks of woods, you know, wooded areas for anything like that. And I thought all that would be Pacific Northwest and, you know, stuff like that, California, stuff like that. But I don't know, 17, 18 years ago on local Channel 7 news, I was living in Huber Heights at the time. and they talked about a Bigfoot siding in Ohio. And I, like, laughed.
Starting point is 00:04:24 You know, I'm like, oh, come on. And I thought, you know, people were freaking drunk or stoned or, you know, scared of their own shadow kind of thing. And but it kind of, you know, made me chuckle. And I decided to get on. I was working like a second, third shift hybrid thing at the time. So I was going to be up a while. But anyway, I got online and I talked.
Starting point is 00:04:47 type in Ohio and Bigfoot. And lo and behold, I think I stumbled into the BFRO website and I clicked on the state. And then I was expecting to see one or two reports is all I thought. And basically it dropped down to reports by county. And I about fell out of my freaking chair. And I just started, you know, the counties I lived or the county I lived in, I read those. Counties I used to live in, I read those. And I just started looking, you know, neighboring.
Starting point is 00:05:17 counties and reading reports and, you know, some of them I laughed. You know, some of them I thought, you know, you just scared of your own shadow, basically. But there was a couple of those that kind of struck a nerve. And one of them, the guy was in Southern Ohio and he had a five-year-old male German shepherd. And I grew up with a German Shepherd. I'm partial to him and picked my favorite dog. and he said he didn't know what was in his backyard,
Starting point is 00:05:51 but his inside door was open, his outside door was closed, and it was all glass. Well, this dog came through that glass door to get back in the house, ran to the furthest point away in the house, curled up at Pete itself. And those dogs don't do that.
Starting point is 00:06:08 And then there's a report where a lady had her kids walking along the river. This is in Miami County up by Tip City. and I'm reading that report, and there was whistling going on, and the mom at first thought somebody was fishing and just playing around, but what worried the mom is she taught music, and she said the whistles went so high up in octave and stuff, she said a person can't do that.
Starting point is 00:06:37 And her boy was kind of dragging behind there, and he supposedly seen this thing and had to have therapies. and she called the police. And I'm thinking, no way that this is only, you know, 10 miles or so from the freaking airport. I mean, come on. And I,
Starting point is 00:06:57 back then I was younger and stuff, played a lot of softball. And the guy on the team, his brother was a Troy cop. And I said, hey, ask your brother. I said,
Starting point is 00:07:05 I'm not trying to run this lady down or nothing. I said, I just want to know if this really happened. You know, or is this like when, internet stories, you know, especially, you know, nowadays, oh, my goodness, but I don't know, a month or two went by and he goes, oh, by the way, I talked to my brother and yeah, they, they went there.
Starting point is 00:07:26 You know, the cops went there. That lady really did call. There's a report on that. So I decided to go to that area. I was married at the time and it took her cousin, Paul, and we walked back in there. And this is the strangest thing, you know, it was August, had. rained in weeks. But this kind of a weird feeling, and I've seen like structures, you know, what I know now
Starting point is 00:07:51 is a structure, but I just seen weird things that didn't make any sense. And I'm like, well, you know, how could the tree be broken like that and that could be like that? You know, how did that? You know, and it's too big for someone to lay it in there. And I thought, well, you know, a storm wouldn't do that, you know. But, you know, I just seen some weird stuff and, you know, had the feeling of, you know, kind of being watched.
Starting point is 00:08:16 And I don't know. It just kind of, that kind of struck me too. And I just kept, basically, I know this was whining on and on. I'm sorry about that, but you want me to keep going?
Starting point is 00:08:30 Absolutely. Okay. Well, I just kept looking. And, you know, the more I looked, the more I found, and I didn't expect that.
Starting point is 00:08:40 And, you know, the internet set me, I found a guy named George Taylor through Dan Mosier. Dan Mosier had a website, and he had pictures posted from Clark County, like Buck Creek State Park. You know, I were blurry, but it was something. I'm like, no way, you know. I contacted him, and he hooked me up with George, and George took me through freaking, I'm going to go ahead and say the name of the park, Charleston Falls in Miami County.
Starting point is 00:09:10 and we went off the trails and if you go off the trails there you find some really interesting stuff structures, a tree that had all the limbs ripped off of it, it's bent and driven into the ground. It looks like a little mini St. Louis arch.
Starting point is 00:09:28 I seen trees that were probably two and three inches in diameter, snapped at about a seven foot height laid the same way. And when you looked above those and this was a fresh break, I mean, the wood was not, you know, hadn't been exposed, you know, that long. I mean, the wood was bright color and everything.
Starting point is 00:09:48 And all the canopy above it was perfect, untouched. And I'm like, a storm isn't going to come in here and break these trees and then not rip that canopy out, you know. And he just showed me, and George taught me the difference between storm damage and the natural damage. You know, there's a tree there that's leaning into these other ones, and the tree was snapped almost at ground level, probably 60 yards up a trail and dragged. You know, and you'd have to have this a big, freaking part of a tree. You know, you would need a, you know, fork lift.
Starting point is 00:10:30 You would need some type of equipment to do that. And I just kept seeing all this stuff. and filling my head with it. But I was still on the fence. And we had an encounter over there during the daytime where we went up at Dry Creek bed, did some whistles, and something followed us. The rest of the way we hiked through the park. And, of course, I work for UPS, and people at work are having a field day,
Starting point is 00:10:59 rib at me, you know. And they're like, oh, that's, you know, he probably had one of his buddies over there and he did that, the scarier. And I said, okay, that is definitely possible. I said,
Starting point is 00:11:10 but why? I don't work for the newspaper, don't work for a TV station, why go to all that trouble to trick a truck driver, you know? But I decided to do a comparison test. So I waited probably a month,
Starting point is 00:11:24 and I decided to call in sick that day and go over there by myself. I didn't tell anybody, you know, the only person who knew I was going there that day was God. that was it. And I went there and I hiked that same creek bed off the trail. I whistled, went back to the trail, walked the park, and lo and behold, I was following in. And that was kind of pretty unnerving, actually. And I told them people at work. I said, now, either something is in there or this guy's buddy lives in the park in case someone comes by, you know, that he needs to, you know, sneak around and sneak up on. but anyway, long story short, ran into some of the people I'm with now. Mike Feltoner met him through Mark Mills.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Mike retired this year. He's just, him and his wife, Pam, have a lot going on. They're trying to get their house ready. They may sell it. They move. They're not sure. They want to travel. You know, kind of got to do the husband thing, you know.
Starting point is 00:12:30 And I met him. and they were different. They went out at nighttime. You know, George was a day stalker. Everybody else I had ran into or talked to was all during the day. But these guys were the exact opposite. So I'm like, okay. So they invited me on the night hike.
Starting point is 00:12:51 And we went to East Fork State Park, hiked one of the horse trails. And this was in October. It was rainy. Like 40 degrees, not a really good night. I'm like the third wheel here. I'm just along for the ride. And I don't know,
Starting point is 00:13:08 a mile or two up in there. And they did the wood knocks and the howls and nothing replied. And, you know, rain picked up a little bit. And they're like, well,
Starting point is 00:13:19 nothing's going on. We stayed a couple hours. Let's just head out. And I'm thinking, okay, this is cool. I went on a night hike. Looks like I'm going to survive it.
Starting point is 00:13:28 You know, all's good. And about, 10 minutes, not even that, not even 10 minutes into the walk out of there. It's when things really change for me because at this point, I'm on the fence, I've seen a bunch of blurry pictures. I've read some really compelling stories that were just, you know, made you, you know, goosebumps and all that. But still, I'm kind of like, I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:56 We start walking out of there. and we had a first time I had a rock thrown at me they threw a rock at us and this rock was big and I'm not saying this because I was in the woods at night with no light on it was just my imagination and I was scared I was a teenager you know and don't do this kids
Starting point is 00:14:18 but I you know I threw rocks at trains you know how big a rock is and you know what it sounds like and all that this rock is it was in flight because we couldn't see it It was hitting the tree limbs. It wasn't bouncing off of them. It was snapping them.
Starting point is 00:14:33 That is a totally different freaking noise. And it hit the tree over by me with a lot of force, bounced off, hit the ground, and tumbled end over end. I mean, I heard all that. And I'm like, I was really freaking, pretty much freaked out and alarmed at that point. And at the lectures, I like to say, you know, anyone that's I was the person in the back of the line I was the third guy there
Starting point is 00:15:02 you know trying to walk out of there and anyone that's seen a good horror movie you know what happens to the guy in the back of the line he's the first one gone you know and that's what I thought was awaiting me and we we had like I don't know
Starting point is 00:15:18 probably 50 minutes still to walk out of there and as we made our way out there's a spot where the woods came right up on that trail and I thought oh my goodness This is an ambush point. And sure enough, he had another rock throne. And same thing, it's sailing over our heads. It's snapping branches.
Starting point is 00:15:35 And at that point, I did not think I was going to see my son grow up. And I literally, I'm not saying this. Just to say it, I really did it. I said the Lord's prayer under my breath, the rest of the way I hiked out of there. I just kept repeating it. And when I got off that trail, I'd knelt down and kissed the ground because I didn't think I was getting out of there. that unnerved me. And of course, you know, they're like, oh, you know, people threw rocks at you.
Starting point is 00:16:02 I'm like, no one knew we were going there. We didn't put it, you know, on Facebook at the time. Hey, we're going here. We're going to look for Bigfoot, no. You know, and we went somewhere else first to a private property that said they had something going on. And then went to this place. It was like this out of the blue, hey, let's go here since we got time, you know, for something to do. and, you know, that kind of night way back in there and kids are going to just hide in case somebody comes by with the rocks at them.
Starting point is 00:16:34 I mean, that's crazier than Bigfoot, actually, to think that. But that struck me because I thought there's something going on. And I said my, well, I pretty much retired. I had a winter to think about it and I unretired because I thought I want to know what's going on. But a three-inch knife and a walking stick, we're going to cut it anymore. which I got my concealed carry permit. And that's only for my own kind of peace of mind. But we continued on.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Mark kind of left the group. And it was like Mike and his son, Jordan and I. And we went into, it was probably about a year later. We went down into Adams County. Because there's just a lot of places down there. There's a lot of roads that aren't marked. there's just a lot of it doesn't look like Ohio
Starting point is 00:17:26 I mean it looks like West Virginia or something you know the Appalachians start there and it's just it's woolly it's crazy and we would go you want me to keep the one you need to stop no you are good to go
Starting point is 00:17:41 okay right let's checking sorry we went into Adams County I had a map I have a UPS driver so I got a map because none of these roads down there a lot of them aren't marked and I got to know where I'm going.
Starting point is 00:17:54 So I get a map and we start gritting. And I said, okay, this unmarked road is this. This one is this. So we start driving them. And I noticed one of these roads dead in and into a graveyard. And I thought, wow, that looks kind of crazy. And had a lot of green around it. And I thought, hey, that means there's supposedly nothing there.
Starting point is 00:18:15 So we drove back in there during the daytime. I always want to go back during the daytime and look at where we're going to be at night. I want to know what the heck I'm getting into, you know, because I've seen to me horror movies, you know. And so we drove back in there during the day, and it was creepy in the daytime and really heavily wooded, a lot of undergrowth. You know, the sun doesn't make it, you know, down to the ground all the way. And a lot of the areas, it's just kind of, it's different. And so we were like, okay, we're going back here. And this was like a year later or so in October.
Starting point is 00:18:53 It was actually October 11, 2014. And Jordan, Mike Felner and I, you know, rolled it. You know, we had to go into West Union for a while because it was raining directionally. You know, Ohio. Ohio and rain both have four letters. It's not a coincidence. But we waved the rain out. And then we went back to where we were, we went down that road.
Starting point is 00:19:18 it went to the graveyard. Now that TV show, Taring the Woods, they showed us going there during the daytime, like when it started. We did a recon thing. They just kind of,
Starting point is 00:19:27 they put some stuff in there that didn't happen. But we go in there and it's probably after 10 o'clock at night, easy. And the first location we stopped, we got a reply.
Starting point is 00:19:43 And to me, it sounds a lot like kind of a given monkey kind of a sound, like a young one. And that's all that happened there, and we went. I have type 2 diabetes, but I manage it well. It's a little pill with the big story to tell.
Starting point is 00:19:58 I take once daily Jardians at each day start. And for adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease, Jardians can lower the risk of cardiovascular death too.

It's a safe, effective backup birth control option that helps prevent pregnancy. before it starts by temporarily delaying ovulation. Plan B is the number one OBGYN recommended brand
Starting point is 00:21:22 and the only one that you can find at all major retailers in all 50 U.S. states. There's no minimum age requirement and you don't need an ID to buy it. You can order it through DoorDash and other major delivery platforms too. That's freedom to be. Use as directed.
Starting point is 00:21:37 The Starbucks ice torchata shaken espresso is back for the summer. Crafted with cinnamon, vanilla, and nutty notes of toasted rice. Handshaking was smooth. with blonde espresso and finished with oat milk for a creamy touch. Made for summer. Only at Starbucks.
Starting point is 00:21:54 We drove this road. It's probably five miles long. It's windy, hilly. Got to have a four-wheel drive to get back in there. And you would destroy a car going in there, back in there. But we went to the graveyard. We're dead-ended. And I never thought I would feel safe,
Starting point is 00:22:13 safer in a graveyard than anywhere else I was at night. But that really happened. because everywhere else we were, the way the woods were right up against the trails and stuff, I felt like something could reach out and grab one of this at any time and pull us in, and we would just be gone. Someone would turn around and say, you know, where's an ego, you know, kind of thing? And the graveyard, it was, you know, it kind of felt safe. And nothing happened for a long time.
Starting point is 00:22:41 And then we heard whistles and stuff moving around. and then pretty much all help broke loose there. They started screaming, howling, whatever you want to call it. And the coyotes were going off with them. But you can definitely tell the difference between the coyotes and the squatch. I mean, because the coyotes are yippy, dog-like noises.
Starting point is 00:23:04 And, you know, the other noise was very deep, powerful. It was totally different. But they did mimic. They actually started whooping, like going, wah, wah! like they were, you know, mimicking the coyotes, but I'm not sure if I sent you that recording or not. But that one's good, but it's kind of bad because we're both talking too much in it just because we were, we never had anything like that happen.
Starting point is 00:23:31 And, you know, the adrenaline's through the roof and we just kind of like, wow, you hear that, wow, you know, and kind of thing. and of course they embellished that in that TV show they had a shining flashlights everywhere which we did not do we're there in the pitch black it's probably like 1.30 in the morning when we're in that graveyard
Starting point is 00:23:51 total darkness and never thought I'd do that if you told me that years ago I'd do something like that I don't say you're crazy and we it was so weird. That went on. It was very intense
Starting point is 00:24:09 that it just stopped. Like somebody threw a freaking switch to stop. And we waited probably 45 minutes because we wanted to hear that again. Nothing happened. So we start heading out. And, you know, when way in, one way out kind of thing. So we stop at this place we call the bridge because it's a little bridge, little guardrails on it. And I know I sent you this one. It's the one label Baboon. this thing went off
Starting point is 00:24:38 I mean, way more powerful than the other ones because it was closer. But that did not dawn on us. We were just kind of oblivious that these things were following us and getting closer. We just kind of didn't think about that. And coyotes went off with that too.
Starting point is 00:25:00 But, you know, like you mentioned in the introduction, David Ellis, who's a professional sound analyst, Washington State. He's analyzed this audio. And the one from the bridge, the reason it's called Baboon is because his computer program not only identifies sounds and can tell if a sound is being manufactured by a person,
Starting point is 00:25:24 to mimic something else, but also there's a spectrograph hooked into that, and he can see where it goes in Hertz band. He said that scream at the bridge, pegged higher than a baboon on a spectrograph. And that is evidence. Wow, let's check that out right now. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:46 All right, I'm going to go ahead and play this sounds from the bridge area. Wow, that's one of the freakiest things I've ever heard. Yeah, that's he looped it. You know, it repeats itself three times. He does that. Better chance to hear it. It didn't do it three times. it's the one recording loop three times.
Starting point is 00:27:08 And you can hear at the end where it's going, whoa, whoa, whoa. So it's actually mimicking the coyotes again at the end of that. But that pegged higher than a baboon on a spectrograph at that location. And then it stopped. Just like every place we had been, just that stopped, nothing else. So we go on down the road or out of there. And there's a place we stopped at.
Starting point is 00:27:34 We called the turnaround. It's the only place it's wide. if you can turn around if you want it. I know that's clever, isn't it? You're given, when you're not familiar and you're back in the middle of nowhere, you're going to start, you're going to give stuff names, you know. And, but we got out of the vehicle there. And, you know, Mike had did some howls earlier.
Starting point is 00:27:57 This thing had howled, and it, like, mimicked the howl he did earlier, but this sounded a lot bigger. and he kind of went over by the edge of the woods off the trail, and this thing was behind the tree, and actually peaked around the tree at him. He's seen the cone-shaped head in one of the eyes, and, you know, he kind of stumbled back toward the car. They showed him in the TV show having a full-blown anxiety attack.
Starting point is 00:28:29 It wasn't that bad, but everybody was, you know, kind of, I don't say freaked out, but we were like, you know, we were, it was, you know, stuff, something was going on and we were reacting to it. And, you know, nothing else happened there. We move on. We stop again. We're within probably half a mile of being out of there at this point, that off that road, if you want to call it a road. And we all get out this time and Jordan does a and he gets a reply. We don't have that recorded because our batteries died. We learned a lesson that night.
Starting point is 00:29:11 So now, like, we go out. I have a tackle box. It's just nothing but batteries, basically. But we didn't record anything else that night, but Jordan wasn't even done howling, and they replied, but they were on each side of this road, trail, whatever I call it?
Starting point is 00:29:31 And that really alarmed me because I'm like, wait a minute, we're freaking surrounded. That's when it dawned on all of us that, hey, we're surrounded and they're close. They're way closer than they were. And it's like, are they going to let us leave kind of feel? Are we being herded in, you know, closed off? And, you know, we know we're not that far from getting out of there, but it's like we're still inside the bottle, if you want to call it that. And I wondered if they were going to put the lid on,
Starting point is 00:30:05 on closes in. And all this is going on, and I hear air leaking out of something. And I thought Mike had driven over something. I went over by the vehicle, and there was nothing. It wasn't coming from there. It was coming from inside the wood line.
Starting point is 00:30:21 And I thought, what the world could be in the woodline doing that noise. And I actually walked into the woods. I walked into the woods. I walked into the woods. and this is where I could have probably lost my life, actually, without knowing, totally freaking oblivious. You know, no light on, and I walk into the dark woods,
Starting point is 00:30:41 trying to figure out what this damn boys is. And, you know, that saying curiosity kills a cat. You know, that's a reason that's there, but I stopped. And thank God I stopped, because if I take another step or two, I don't know what would happen because there's something in the woods there with me. It's not even probably 20 yards in front of me. I just can't see it because it's dark. But I stand there and I close my eyes and I thought, okay,
Starting point is 00:31:09 I'm going to concentrate on this noise and figure this out. I mean, does someone throw a damn scuba tank in the woods? I mean, I'm going to find out what's going on. That's what I'm thinking at the time. That's not that. What's happening is there's something there breathing in and out. And at this point, since I walked in there, when it finished its breath,
Starting point is 00:31:33 it had that huff kind of sound. And I got, you can't see if I got freaking goosebumps saying this right now. And this thing is doing this, and this huff, breathing that air out. And I'm, I am frozen.
Starting point is 00:31:49 I am terrorized, but frozen. I can't even move. And I'm like what I got myself into. And I, I don't, panic, but I decide to slowly start
Starting point is 00:32:04 backing up. I'm afraid to turn my back. I don't want to run, but I'm just taking a little bitty steps backwards and trying not to fall down. And I took, because I don't know if this thing's going to come out or not, but
Starting point is 00:32:19 before I did that, excuse me, and I forgot about something here. After one of those last huffs, this thing actually emitted a very low, very gutter roll. I don't you know what you want to call it roar, some kind of thing. And it reverberated off my chest. I actually felt it.
Starting point is 00:32:37 It was like being in a heavy metal concert. And that's when I decided, I thought, you know, this is it. You know, this one, this is Big Daddy and he's, you know, he's one that's out of here. This is a final, to me, it was a final warning, get out of here or else. So I'm backing up. When I took, after I took maybe, I don't know how many steps, a few steps. back. I did pull my gun. Now, I did not point it. I just left it against my leg, kind of, because I don't know if this thing's going to come out at me or not. You know, the TV show
Starting point is 00:33:11 has me firing a warning shot. I did not do that. When I felt my feet hit the gravel, I turned sideways a little bit, and I yell out. And I probably, my voice is probably higher than Michael Jackson's at that point, and I yelled out. We're getting, the F out of here now. And those guys heard that too. I mean, they sit and feel it reverb right off their chest. We go running to Mike's
Starting point is 00:33:40 vehicle. We get in and Mike I mean, he literally almost killed us. He just drove off the cliff. Not a cliff, but we were elevated. And he almost put us in the trees a different way. And we got out of there.
Starting point is 00:33:56 And we went down probably almost to where you come out of there. and we stop one more time just to make sure everybody's in the car, make sure everything's good, and just to kind of calm down, because we are breathing, heavy, driddle-ins through the roof, we are just, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:15 and we're trying to just calm down, take deep breaths, and we're sitting there, cars running, bright lights are on, and a deer walks in front of us and stops. Doesn't even look at us in the car. could care less about the car. I look at Mike and say,
Starting point is 00:34:32 hey, is this freaking thing on a ride or what? And it snorts, it paused the ground, it knew those things, it was watching the direction we came from. And they were probably coming again. And it sensed them. And it turned and it ran the other way. And we got out of there.
Starting point is 00:34:52 And that was, you know, October 11, 2014. And I will never forget that. I will never forget that. forget the feel of that hitting my body, the energy of that. I won't forget how that sounded when it's exhaling its breath and that little at the end and all that.
Starting point is 00:35:14 I can never unhear that. And I don't, those are two things I don't ever want to hear again. That is absolutely intense. My goodness. I mean, that's the kind of encounter that would either send you away from the field forever or you'd be in it forever. Wow. Yeah, I lost some sleep over that one. The following weekend, I had my son.
Starting point is 00:35:46 And at that time, I lived on the east side of Cincinnati, had a full-finished basement. And I had a woods behind my building. but not that big of a woods and no one liked to sleep down there he called it camping out in the basement and so we're down there it's the weekend and an owl went off about three in the morning and when it woke me up and at first I thought
Starting point is 00:36:12 they found us you know and yeah I was I have type of diabetes but I manage it well it's a little bill with the big story to tell I take once daily Jardians at each day start.

The Starbucks iced horchata 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 oat milk for a creamy touch.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Made for summer. Only at Starbucks. I was unnerved by that for a while. And that story got out, and that's why we were on Taring the Woods. Now, something you had mentioned earlier is, so in the group, there's been at least one visual sighting that's happened so far? Yes. We've had, I know other people have had stuff at other times. I know Cody has seen shadows and stuff.
Starting point is 00:38:53 stuff moving around. Mike's had the one look around the tree. There's been glimpses. I don't, I've seen until last October. It's always October. October is some kind of a special month, you know, for stuff going on, it seems. I've had glimpses of stuff. I've turned around and thought I've seen something and there was a bush I walked by,
Starting point is 00:39:20 but I didn't touch it and it's moving, which meant something. cut behind me, you know, one time and big enough to put that bush in motion, and I didn't touch it because I came from kind of the other side of it. And I wouldn't count those, but last October at one of our news spots, we're able to give him permission to get in there because it's privately owned. this is an area that these different valleys kind of dump into this area it's I don't know you go back in there
Starting point is 00:40:01 and it's like wow it's like you feel like you went back at time you feel like you've left the zip code you know you're just like you're somewhere else and it's just it's a crazy feeling and you want to go ahead and tell you what happened absolutely Okay, last October
Starting point is 00:40:20 We were out there And Mike was unable to do a lot last year But he did go that weekend And it was our 10 year anniversary So we spoke at the Portsmouth Library On the 12th of October But on Friday night On the 11th
Starting point is 00:40:41 We went out for the 10 year anniversary We went to all those spots And on the 10 year anniversary, where it was kind of special. So on the night of the 12th, we're at this new spot. And the moon is out, which I normally don't like, because I just kind of feel like everything is, you know, you're, I don't know, you're just like got a spotlight on you kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:41:04 But we found a spot where I parked in an area where we were shadowed. And we had special guests that night. We had, well, you know, Mike was there. and Sabrina was there Cody was there Jeff Byers who is the owner of Creature Replica
Starting point is 00:41:21 if the people that watch Expedition Bigfoot Russ has that Bigfoot action figure on the back of his pack Jeff makes those
Starting point is 00:41:29 and he was there and Donna was there she's like our contact in Adams County she's Native American and we're all there and the McCoy's Bevin MacMachey are there
Starting point is 00:41:41 and we kind of split up and Cody Jeff and Mike go up the trail walking away from where we're at because a lot of times, you know, they don't like that. They don't like you splitting up because they just don't know what hell you're doing. And the rest of us are in this other spot. And I'm, we sit like kind of in a circle, but we're each watching a different area. We're watching 360, but everybody's got their spot.
Starting point is 00:42:13 So I'm watching the cross. this wood line is. And there's this huge tree out in front of it and a little bit of a field. And I see something come out of this wood line. And at first, you know, I'm like, okay. And then it keeps coming. And I thought at first it seemed like he was kind of hunched down. So I wasn't sure what it was. And then, and there are bears in that, that area. There was one actually hid by a garden way north of there. But anyway, that's another story. It stood up. At that point, I thought, you know, I'm looking at it.
Starting point is 00:42:51 I'm like, that's not a damn bear. And it keeps coming. And it's watching them. It's looking up the road. At the trail, whatever, at those guys. I don't think it sees us. And it keeps coming. And I'm seeing it.
Starting point is 00:43:09 You know, I don't see it super clear, but it's out to where I can see it. and it's standing up and it's seven, eight foot tall, it's big. And it keeps coming. And at that moment, I actually start having an argument with myself in my mind. Half of my brain is saying that it's not what you think it is. There's no way it would walk out that far and expose itself. Because I think they're really good at being selfie and they don't like giving up the upper hand. And they usually don't make mistakes.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Maybe this one made a mistake because it didn't see us, but it's seen the other people. And it came out. My brain's saying, that's not what you think it is. It wouldn't do that. Then the other half of my brain is saying, dummy, right there it is. And it keeps coming. And there's a spot. But there were these trees, have a little bit of space between them.
Starting point is 00:44:04 And the moonlight's coming through there. And it gets right to that spot. And that moonlight hits that thing. and it's the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life. And I've told the story a little bit, but not a lot. I've not told it at work because, you know, I'm afraid the reaction is going to be. And to most skeptics, they're going to say, yeah, right, you research Bigfoot and you've seen one. Yeah, sure, you know.
Starting point is 00:44:32 But, you know, this happened. And this moonlight hits this thing, and it's shimmering. It's shimmering like silver. And I'm not saying it's glowing silver and it's from outer space. What I think, the reason that's happening is thanks to a TV show I watched three, four years ago, they had a hair sample and it's between ape and human. They have nothing to compare it to. It's black at the base, but at the tip of the hair toward the top, you know, very tip of the hair,
Starting point is 00:45:04 it's translucent, which means it's clear. and I think that's how they blend in so well. I think the hair is like that and they can go stand next to something and blend in with it just like a chameleon. It's not supernatural. It's just natural. And because of the moonlight hitting it,
Starting point is 00:45:24 that's the tip of the hair absorbing the moonlight, and it's shimmering. Because the silver is kind of like it was washing over it. I don't know how to explain it the right way other than that. And at that point, I stood up because I'm shell-shocked. And when I stood up,
Starting point is 00:45:43 it seemed me move, and it turned and looked dead at me. And I could tell it was brown underneath the silver. And the face was dark. I couldn't make out any features. I wasn't close enough for that. But it seemed me move when I stood up, and it knew we were there then,
Starting point is 00:46:03 and we're just kind of looking at each other. and I don't know what it's going to do. You know, I put my hand down. I've got it on top of my gun. I haven't took it out of the holster or anything. It's just there. And we're just kind of looking at each other. And I'm still almost a disbelief of what's going on.
Starting point is 00:46:26 And then I raised my hands up to show, you know, like, I probably sound stupid doing this, but I just kind of show my hands like, yeah, I got nothing in my hands. I kind of raise my hands up. And then it just like doesn't give a dam and it just turns and walks back into the wood line. But when it went into that wood line,
Starting point is 00:46:45 to me, is like a little message to us, it could have stepped over this part of this tree that it fell down. It stepped on it and it crushed it. I mean, it was like crunch, crunch, and then it went back in the woods, kind of like saying, you know, you don't want to follow me in here kind of a thing. and yeah so that's my you know I didn't see its facial features didn't see eyes and stuff like that
Starting point is 00:47:14 but I seen it I mean it was out in the open far enough to where I you know I can tell you that's what it was it wasn't anything else you know and I'm still so kind of at war with myself over it also too just because it was unexpected I never expected that to happen and I don't know. That is incredibly intense. And it looks like, I mean, you at least got a really good look at the hair, the silhouette. And is there anything that you noticed that you said to yourself, man, the community usually gets that wrong. And what I'm seeing right now is a little different than what people say.
Starting point is 00:48:03 I don't know nothing like that, just the size of it. You know, because I've been to football games and been down at field level and seen, you know, NFL players and stuff like that, you know, in uniform. And this thing was way freaking bigger than them people. I mean, it was, you know, it was, you know, that for sure, you know, was striking. But, you know, nothing I can say. well, no, it's, you know, but just the, you know, the odd thing was just the shimmering, the silver light shimmering off of it because they, you know, I think because of the translucent hair tips, you know, absorbing that.
Starting point is 00:48:51 And that's, that was the weirdest thing to me because, you know, I'm not saying it was colored silver, you know, it just, its hair absorbed that light for a little bit until it moved. And then that went away, of course, once it's, steps out of the moonlight, it's back to me. And, you know, it was black before then because it was in darkness. But when, but I could see that it was brown. It was a dark brown actually color, you know, underneath the silver because of the moonlight. Having that, that visual encounter, did that affect you in any ways in the days after that
Starting point is 00:49:31 sighting? Yeah, it still affects me now just because it's like, like I said, my. brain is like, no, that couldn't happen. It wouldn't have done that. They're too smart to do something like that. But then it's like, hey, you know, you've seen it, dummy. You know, what was that then? You know,
Starting point is 00:49:50 they did that. It's just I guess because I didn't expect that. I never, all these years I've researched, you know, I've been thrilled, you know, people, like, you know, Dr. Jeff Belgram is like, you know, with Bob being
Starting point is 00:50:06 pretty much retired. To me, Aldrum is like the Pope of the Bigfoot world. He's numero uno. And he does the tracks, and that's great, and his stories and stuff. And examine those tracks is second and none. And tracks are fun. I found a few by accident, but I don't want to carry stuff out and try to make cast of tracks. I'm excited about audio, because audio is something I can bring home, and I know it happened.
Starting point is 00:50:34 That night I was there. You know, a track could be a day old, a week old could be. a month old or longer. The audio happened that freaking night while we were there. And then I can send that to people like David Ellis and he can put it through his program and tell me if it's really something strange or if it's an owl or whatever else or, you know,
Starting point is 00:50:59 horse, whatever, you know. Have you been back to that location since that time? No. We're going back. Memorial Day. Oh, wow. And you actually have a recording from that. The audio is what excites me, and that's what I'm trying to record.
Starting point is 00:51:17 That's why the recorders are set up to try to gather evidence that's happening that night. Yes, we are going to that area, this coming Memorial Day, and you have a recording. I think I sent you from last year Memorial Day. It's within, it's not at that exact spot. It's probably maybe, I don't know, not even 100 yards north of there. You know, same area. And it's labeled, I think, Hidden Valley Angry Giant. What we started doing in the last couple of years, we got away from the woodnock.
Starting point is 00:51:56 You know, we would knock sometimes. But we got away from doing howls, you know, a human doing a howl or whatever. and Cody's got a call blaster and it's got real animal sounds embedded in it already loaded in there and it's not a facsimile sound, it's a real animal and that kind of breaks up the monotony. We set in the dark and talk normal voice for about probably 30, 40 minutes if nothing happens,
Starting point is 00:52:26 we break that thing out and that night last year we called blasts and a wolf howling. I'm not sure if there's a lot. Wool's still in Ohio or not. I don't know. But it's a great thing to play because it stirs the coyotes up and it freaks things out. And it's the end of the wolf howl's got a real good, woo kind of thing as it drops down. You know, kind of like a big foot in a way.
Starting point is 00:52:52 But it's just, and it just echoes. It's awesome. Nothing happened. Then Cody played. I have type of diabetes, but I manage it well.

Only at Starbucks. wolves howling, a pair of wolves. And after he played that, we got to reply. I'm not sure what that is in the beginning. Part of it is a coyote. There might be something else in there,
Starting point is 00:55:13 but I don't know, 20 seconds into that, there's a roar. That's big daddy. What I think is happening there, I think that's the big daddy of that area. The group, there's more than one. And he's saying, hey, Mr. Wolf, you know, whatever. this is my freaking yard.
Starting point is 00:55:34 If you want to play that. Absolutely. Let's go ahead and play the angry giant sound here. Nope, that's wrong. Here we go. Let's play the angry giant song. Wow, that was extremely, I would,
Starting point is 00:56:39 I'd probably be getting it. I don't know how I'd react to that. That's some wild stuff, dude. I'm the one that whistled, like when it, in between it there, yep. if we didn't talk I was like like whoa
Starting point is 00:56:53 but it was mad that thing was mad was mad was that a one time deal that you heard something like that or is that something that you hear
Starting point is 00:57:03 more than once no there's there there was more that night recorded that was you know that was kind of the intense kind of
Starting point is 00:57:12 kind of what I would call the fighting moment though um there's um I'm not sure I can't remember everything I sent you, but... We've got two more.
Starting point is 00:57:25 Let's make sure we get them in. So the one we haven't done yet, there's one called Hidden Creatures. Okay, that's from that night. All right. I'm going to go ahead and play that one here. All right. So what's the story behind the hidden creatures there? That was a little bit later that night, and there's more than one they're communicating.
Starting point is 00:58:23 and did you notice the one where it's like, it's like, ooh, it changes pitch. You know, coyotes don't do that. Yeah, that was weird. That was extremely weird. I can't imagine hearing both of those sounds on the same night. We also have one that says, uh-u-uh, so.
Starting point is 00:58:52 That's from a, I'm trying to think when that was that was a couple years ago in a different spot. The reason it's titled that I know I have these insane titles is it actually makes that noise
Starting point is 00:59:07 whether the creature that's doing that goes ooh ah ooh it really does that and you have to you've got to be a primate to sound out vowel sounds. All right, let's check it out. Yeah, you weren't kidding.
Starting point is 00:59:43 I mean, that is yeah, that's actual vowel sounds. Dude, I've never heard anything like that. That is weird. Yeah, David Ellis, he analyzed that one also. He's the one that looped it, you know, three times there. Yeah. But, yeah, he's actually, he's doing a book now,
Starting point is 01:00:00 and he's collecting a bunch of, he's got a couple of ones that I've recorded, where it almost sounds like a language, like the Oahu, were the tone changes and all that. And he's putting all those together, trying to, I think, maybe make a Rosetta Stone kind of thing. But that's very exciting. It is very weird. By, you know, doing this show, talking to a lot of people,
Starting point is 01:00:31 it started to notice a pattern where a lot of people are reporting from different parts of the country where they'll hear something and it sounds like a two-syllable type of word or phrase. Like they can't make a large word, but they can kind of put two sounds together. It's just one of those things where you just keep getting little bits of info here and there. And it'd be interesting to see where David Ellis takes all this and including the sounds that you guys have captured down in Ohio.
Starting point is 01:01:11 It's very, very cool. Yeah, very, very honored to be part of that. And David is, he'll do a great job of that, I know. And he'll probably, he'll probably find something or come up with something. And, you know, I'm predicting he'll have some kind of, he'll create kind of a template for something, you know what I'm saying? Something good is going to come out of that, you know, because if you keep putting sounds together, you know, maybe pretty soon you
Starting point is 01:01:41 maybe figure something out. Yeah, absolutely. Have you guys, or I guess I'll ask you specifically since you're the one here, have you over the years, you know, thinking about what you've experienced, what you've seen, what you've heard, have you come to a point yet where you have an idea of what it is we're dealing with when we talk about Bigfoot out there? I don't know. I think my, and this is just my guess, you know, people out there don't kill me for this. But I think it's maybe a mix of something, you know, maybe early hominid and an ape or something because it's got, you know, it's got different characteristics of different things.
Starting point is 01:02:34 So it's got to be some kind of a hybrid of mix, you know. I do not believe aliens brought them here to mine gold. if a you know if UFOs can come here with you know with a spacecraft they should be able to pull gold out they should have something to do that you know some kind of contraption and so and you know all the Native Americans the languages have a word for Bigfoot and it it doesn't refer to Bigfoot as a god or a deity it's you know keeper of the woods watcher of the woods grandfather of the woods it's it's just something they dealt with and lived alongside died and it really wasn't a big deal. It was, you know, respect and stuff like that. And so they were here, you know. So I don't think they were brought here. I think they've been here the whole time.
Starting point is 01:03:26 I just think when, you know, when the white people, you know, we got here and, you know, we started killing everything. We started putting in Dollar Generals every three miles. You know, I think Bigfoot before us, I think Bigfoot was awake during the day and slept at night. I think it had, you know, that kind of a pattern. I think they flipped that around. I think they are mostly down during the daytime and they're up at night because, you know, most of us,
Starting point is 01:04:01 most of the same people in the United States were, you know, we're dead or whatever at nighttime and we're not in the woods. And except for crazy people like us. and they have less chance of running into a person. I think they've changed their method of operation, their MO, you know, to keep away from us. But I'm not sure what it could be. I mean, I think if one was ever, if they ever got enough DNA, I think it would make sense.
Starting point is 01:04:32 And I'm Christian. It's not, it doesn't mess with my faith or anything. It's just, it's going to make sense. Wherever it falls in, It's going to be like, okay, I got it. Absolutely. Will there be a point that you get to where you can say, you know what, I did what I set out to do, and I can walk away from this? I don't.
Starting point is 01:04:59 I've never thought about that. I've been asked before if, you know, if someone, you know, they had a body somewhere or something and you can actually go up and look at it and everything. Wow. we're having a storm here if you've heard that if I would quit because there it would be I don't know I don't know how to answer that it's just right now I'm having fun research and you know guys people on the team you know are just wonderful to be around it's fun to be around I played baseball in football in high school. I played softball forever when I was done with that.
Starting point is 01:05:46 And this is my hobby now. So it's fun. You get out in the woods. You see things. You see other animals. You see, you know, a lot of times nothing happens. You know, we're out there and not a freaking thing happens other than, you know, maybe a raccoon looking at us.
Starting point is 01:06:03 We've had deer walk up looking at us like, what hell are you doing here? at this time at night. And, but, you know, you see the moonlight coming through the trees and it's just beautiful. And I think to myself, you know, there's people in bed right now that haven't seen this and they're missing out. And so as long as, as long as, you know, got some people I enjoy being around and to do that and getting out there is fun. And it's got to keep it fun, you know, and not get crazy serious. insane with it. And as long as it remains fun,
Starting point is 01:06:41 I probably keep doing it, but, you know, of course, I'm going to get older and, you know, maybe squats her from the freaking car. What was that? What was that,
Starting point is 01:06:48 Sonny? You know, I pushed my son out of the car. We'll see what that was, you know, but I have to tell you this. It's just one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
Starting point is 01:06:59 We were in an area, nothing was happening. And there was this huge oak tree in this field. And all of a sudden, all these, you know, fireflies, lightning bugs, whatever, welled up from the ground and came up and rose and just kind of dispersed into this tree. And I'm like, and, you know,
Starting point is 01:07:22 I couldn't get a picture of it or anything, but too far, I mean, too far away to do that. But it was just beautiful. And I pointed and I said, look at that. And I said, somebody years ago seen the exact thing and he's probably the one
Starting point is 01:07:39 that invented Christmas lights because that's what it looked like it was unbelievable so that that is beautiful and I think that's a great thing you know to remind us that when we are out
Starting point is 01:07:54 looking for things like Bigfoot we need to be also aware of the beauty of nature that's out there and not to take that for granted so yeah that's pretty cool. Well, Mike, just thank you for coming on and for sharing some great interactions that you've
