Hey, Bigfoot Society. I've got Mark on the phone. He's going to tell us about what he is experienced out in his neck of the woods. How's it going, Mark? Not too bad. Well, I don't know. I don't usually. That's a lot of kids in the house and bugs flying around, but I don't know.

Anyways, as for the stuff I've experienced, I've been a, I'm going to believe in the 70s when people were still talking. about Patty at the drop of a hat. When I was running through with some buddies in the woods back in the outside of Traverse City of Michigan, I thought, for sure, I saw these good-sized prints, but everybody blew them off a bear. I didn't think they looked like bear tracks, but I was probably 11. So what did I know back then? Well, that's years and years later. 2019, I bring the family down here to East Tennessee.

Everybody has this misconception they still see it all the time that to have interactions I was in uniform for a very long time and been in some interesting places I know when people are watching me or what I'm being observed so we're all on the front yard

and this house under when we're in had been empty for a couple years when my grandkids are out I'm going to Karen in the front yard. Turn around and talking about my wife and daughter sitting on the front porch, and I just caught something out of my corner of my eye. I turned to look at the wood line, which is probably 120,000 miles away. When it was this huge black shape,

I was there too far to see his face running. After one out there later, I figured he was probably, eight, nine feet tall anyway, shoulders are probably four and a half, five foot wide, knowing this guy was big. I hope you don't mind the language, but of all of course I go

the wife doesn't know what I'm looking at. I turn to look at him and I say, what the is that? And he must have, even in a desert, since he must have known that I had seen. As he turned to his left, my right, and as I sped off into the

the thicker underbrush and I could see he had long hair on his on his back because I could actually see it while behind him because I'm like, what that? Of course, the wife's on it. They always thought him a little nuts from my old job and she didn't quit in them with

whether to believe me or that, but I went out there the next day I didn't want to go out there right afterwards. but you can see on the outside of the electric this is where our horse pasture

something that beat a heavily used trail down to that spot and I could see when he took off I could see broken branches and stuff that apparently he

you know plowed through on his way away from there so that let me know that, okay, we're not alone around here. About a couple of the neighbors and whatnot. One guy, his family has been here for generations, according to what he said, like half Cherokee, so he knows a lot of the stories around here.

Just like some places, everybody thinks they're just stories. Well, some people around here, they just treat him as the folks that live on the woods. I've always done research this kind of, you know, these guys did quite a bit kicked it up even hotter after that especially for the locals and whatnot because I want to know what I'm seeing around here

but that was the first time we got an above ground pool that we're putting up all back this was some months later I get that itch again I'm looking out through the woods and this guy he was right here so it wasn't the same one

and he looked like he was smaller but they was doing that peeking from behind the tree thing. I didn't get answer or anything this time. I'm just treating like you as a neighbor. Hey, how you doing? I see you back there. And it actually came off about halfway behind the tree and stood there. And Washington said we

try to put the pool together and whatnot. These guys must be they're curious about what we do too. All these people tramp into the words looking for them. They're curious about us as well. A couple months after that, I'll take care of I have a special needs.

She's fed to a G-tube and And so I'm sitting up for noon feeding. And this time I'm just looking out the back window. Back in the same general area, I saw the red hair guy. And at first I thought, because we just had a big storm come through here. Not too long before, right? I'm thinking, okay, that's just a tree stump, right? And what everybody says is I put on, what are called stum squashes?

First, I'm looking, yeah, it's just a big old tree stone. I got hit by lightning because it was, So cut off. And then it starts swaying back and forth. I'm like, we got foster kids. I take the two boys. Bring them in there. The boys are 16 or 13 then.

And I said, look right out there and what do you see? He says what? I said, look at it looks like a tree stand in there. And then they go, both of them are like, holy, crap, it's moving. And yep. They're watching us again. So I was three, and just recently, just a couple months ago, which you can count it as exciting, but the horses were fine. I've got a bunch of big dogs, and they were going just crazy out back.

Now, around here, this area has a, not just those guys in the woods, like a lot of other areas, some of the local folks are into showy-same for pharmaceuticals. So I wanted to make sure that was good out there. I gave Bobby my oldest forest boy the spotlight. I grabbed my 45. And we went out there to take a loop.

And we got back there and the horses are fine. The neighbor back through the woods is close all I can see is yard lights. Of course, there's this huge shadow sitting there.

By now, I don't act security to these guys. that much anymore. I act like I'm just holding a conversation. Hey, how are you doing big guy? Just don't think of sure things are okay

and this kind of thing. And then we notice because I see his eyes shine so I know he's there anyways. And then he's got this huge shadow from the light. We see something just movement to our right.

There's two more sets of eyeshine at two different heights. Think okay. When we have a crew to our left and from where we were standing there was probably 75 meters down the hill. In between these things, I've got pictures of tracks in my pasture, and I know a few of the trees out there where they've been observing the house. As you can see where the, they're the beaten down spots by the base of the tree,

that kind of thing. I know they come out of that freaking, that creek bed, because when it's dry, it goes all the way up the mountain, and it's heavily wooded on both sides. so you know another if I could walk down that thing without being seen so I got three sets of eyes shine around us already and I hear something down in the creek

rocks going to get knocked over the bobby said you hear that and he says he's looking pretty scared so I turned around I look back towards what you know that's what I call him as the big guy to tell you what we're going to go back in the house

you guys have a good night and make part of the other people say this stuff but said, you keep keeping the black bears and the kiosk stuff on my pasture, I'll bring you something tomorrow. I'll draw the pistol of my watch him and raise my arm up with the way of it.

And he did it back. It made me feel pretty good that I've, you know, that this guy actually, and I can be wrong. I can go out in the woods behind the house again next time. he could appear and snap me in half. Obviously he can do that, being that big. But he acknowledged my presence,

and I thought that was a good sign. So the next day, I braided the, this was before Halloween last year, I rated the kids on the lapels, took through them by there. I actually climbed up into a tree a little bit. That boy, it was supposed to where I'd seen him. I showed them down in some branches

so you could you had to pick them up and move them to take them and I didn't because it didn't the middle after you know when I placed them I just took to Johnson oh you go dude hope you enjoy

then back to the house mounting my own business and the following day I went back out there both those apples were gone no sticks no chute-out cores they were just gone I think I might have spoiled them, though.

But I've tried to give him regular apples after that. He hasn't touched them. I laid a candy bar out there in the same tree. That was gone. I did the snickers. I took it out of the pack and lit up in the tree and shoved it on the branches again so you had to work to get at it. And that was gone too.

But so far, I think I almost made him upset last year because he went around and trim the brush around the horse fence and got the electric fence working again. I'm just the way I'm thinking, I think I might have shocked him a little bit once I got it going again. Because a couple days afterwards, inflation is a new probably know about there. You've seen the stories about the trees shoved upside down on the ground.

I'll buy where I made my first sighting, is. It was about a 15, 20 foot tall, long, log. It was a part of a tree that had broken off in Belair. But it was shoved eight inches in rocky mountainous in the sea ground. And then the wider part was balanced up in the crookers and branches way up high.

I had some couple buddies come over and we took it down. I was afraid he was going to fall on the fence and knock it down the next wind comes through. Of course, she's blowing it off. It just didn't. I could see where it snapped off. I'm like, trying to explain to it was like to. So that branch snapped off, flew 2530 freaking feet through the air,

and landed perfectly in the ground and managed to shove itself from this ground and ballon up there. As I just said, whatever you say, man. So we pulled down and left it laying there. The only thing I really felt strange about all right after doing that, so I said, I figured I'd pick him off

and might have surprised him on that those 6,000 volts. Several weeks later, something picked up the log and it was outside the fence. Why he cleaned that up? I don't know.

I don't know how to these guys think because you're used to see I'm assuming you know who Scott Carpenter is. I watch all his stuff. I just try to stay on good terms with the folks in the woods. So I walk the woodline and just try to talk and stay on good terms of them and say, look, out there is your area, here in my area. As long as we keep it that, we are good to go.

So I's tracks through my pastor. I've got, I'm assuming it was him, because I've got a picture. of a one clear out of a trail. The damn thing is a left foot, perfectly clear toes, 20 inches long, and it's got to be

8 inches wide. And the stride was long enough for I'm not a very big guy, but I hate to jump from track to track. There's lots of stories of one showing signs of aggression. I talked to one guy

that's not too far from me. Apparently, up there in the mountains. He's had the classic robs and stuff like that thrown at him. We're in their yard, their living room. He didn't like you being there.

What are talking about all this is I haven't gone on trailwalking in quite a while now. I just try to show some respect for these guys. On this episode of plant killers, we'll explore one nation's most notorious fruit and vegetable killer, Bad Dirt. What makes bad dirt so bad? The answer?

By the time I hit my 50s, I'd learned a few things, like how family is precious. Work can always wait.

And 99% of people over 50 already have the virus that causes shingles. Not everyone at risk will develop it, but I did. The painful, blistering rash disrupted my life for weeks. Don't learn about your shingles risk the hard way. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today. Sponsored by GSK. Pretty much my experience with an ex-outreck. Different size prints all the time, per.

the pasture, everything from I said his that one was 20 inches a tall one. A smaller set that was on the way back to the pasture and

that one looked like they'd have broken a toe one time because the big toe on the left foot was putting in, like drastically. I don't like to have anybody out there to sit there the broken bones. They've been as close as before I started talking to a matter of our basis. I found a trailer that came all the way to the side of the house.

I haven't seen anything like that in a long time. So I figure maybe my getting on good terms for those folks was a good thing. I'd do that one vocalization. I'm scaring some coyotes away. I love some security cameras outside. You can hear the coyotes? And this guy growled at him. You don't hear coyotes anymore.

I just can figure anything must have been arguing overkill. It's my stuff down here in a nutshell. So I go out to the pasture on a regular basis see if anybody's been stepping over where the fence are coming in. I know they're like wild raspberries because I was following that track,

the trail from outside, back in the pasture, and you can see where it stopped. You remember, see the raspberries out behind outside of the fence. And I don't, really, I told other people I don't care about proof anymore because I'm not worried about proving it when I know they're there because people have asked me when I, it's just, this guy

stepped back over the fence and really ate too many of those raspberries if you get my meaning, you let them all drop in my pasture. It was quite a large pile. I got to people, why didn't you scoop some opposite? Because I don't care. I don't want people around here. I'll there going, so hunting and whatnot. I'm a firm believer

that certain agencies know that they're been doing things two in three years. I consider you my neighbor.

Why the hell what I want a bunch of a bunch of a bunch of a bunch of you guys. Just going through YouTube one day

and I found your channel and I think I follow a lot of what I consider decent ones and some people

that don't like realize and NVTV and all that. People say they have a bad reputation. It's like, all they do is put out there what people post as far as I know.

Or you, you know, Steve is dull, how to hunt. Some of these guys have fun reading and following day Pilates a lot. I was 20 years infantry and 12 years of military cop. He was a long-time cop on the outside.

So, listen to your speaker, it seems like we think on the same way of lives. It sounds like you're not really scared of having these creatures around your house at all. I know people destroy it, even if they see one, all of a sudden they're, they get this, you know, the deep-seated fear. Some folks consider me a little different than a lot of folks.

Sure. I've been in a lot of bad places myself, fit in some bad scrapes that some, every once in a while I had to pull myself out. Germany I had in here. Later, they have wild boars in Germany. Oh, yeah. I had about 300 pounds.

I faced one down with a pickaxe one night and years and years. And I'm an exercise. We were on an exercise, all he has blank rounds. And they decided to come down and start running through our gear and garbage, so I picked the closest thing I could

and get them out of there. And that was that axe. am I totally brave that I walk out there and do something stupid that one of these guys

won't fix my attitude well no because this is just my way of thinking I figure they're like they are people

a lot larger stronger and do things a lot different that we do but just like people some are well

good guys and some are raging E-holes. Where's me more about running out, into out there is somebody

who found a 500-pound blackbird sighting not that a long ago. They are known if we can take people out. Gabe Grana, out of a half north of me last year,

Earl was in a hammock and a blackbird pulled out of her hammock. And, but there's been, seems to be more dogman sightings in the same of the state lake in recent months. In your area?

from carpenter who's got two videos that he took Oh sure yeah Usually when I'm I've got this feeling When I'm being washed We were out there Just checking the fence line Just the other day

And it wasn't the same feeling It was I could tell something was out there They didn't want to do harm And for change the page Usually I don't go by the In other woods Without some

Lead-based backup, shall we say Smart Well I didn't take any with me that day So I had two of the boys with me, and I'm like, let's get back to the house now. Then, obviously, we know that those are known to be violent. Look at the land between the likes of everybody and their brother is investigating. That guy took out of the entire family. Once I moved down here, there's tales of it cult and creatures.

And these mountains are full of just unexplained stuff. And kind of come to find out there was a family. killed back here in 96, about 10 miles away from my house. And supposedly it was a satanic deal there. Really?

It was areas known for weird stuff. It's a lot of things going on in your area, it sounds like, for sure. It sounds like you haven't seen the last of the big foot around your property, I would guess. From what you've said so far, you probably will have more encounters for sure. I have no problem in the world with that.

I try to show him respect. He shows me respect and we're good. If the ones that's supposed to have the entity show up, there are some advantages to be in a broken up veteran because I do have some tool that might hope for that. We'll leave that to the imagination. Yeah. Mark, this has been quite.

the conversation. I'm glad that we were able to connect and that you were able to share what you've encountered so far. All right, Bigfoot Society. You've got a privilege of talking to Mr. Hernandez from Florida today. We had talked back and forth a little bit on TikTok, I believe it was, and he's got some interesting stories to share about Bigfoot. So, Hernando, how are you doing today? I'm pretty good and beautiful Sunday here in Florida. Very good. So, let's get right down to it. Yeah, I'd like to start from just before my father's passing just a couple of years ago. I was his caretaker in the last year or so of his life.

He'd come down with pancreatic cancer. And he was letting go of a lot of things that he'd experienced in a lifetime. And at the time, he was aware of my interest and my activities here in Myaka in Florida. and he wanted to make sure I didn't give up as easily as I was wanting to out here looking for the skunk ape in the Monica State Park and the adjacent area. And as the story goes, one day about two months before he passed away, I was having my wits end.

I've been out there for almost two years off and on looking around. I hadn't really seen anything, hadn't heard anything. I've seen some footage from some associates of mine that are pretty well-known footage on the internet and I told them I feel like I'm wasting my time out there it's a beautiful setting to be in but it's just a lot of time to be spent out looking for something that you just not sure exists

and he told me he said son whatever he don't give up these things are out there he said I have no intention on telling anybody about what actually happened to me in the Pocomoke Forest. I said, well, what do you, what do you refer to today? He said, you were called 96. You were at work that week. You had the opportunity to come out hunting with me that week.

It was a Wednesday in 96, the winter of 96. And he was hunting in the same spot. Him and I had both hunted for over 10 years. I was in my early teens when he first started taking me out there. And off and on, from many years, both he and I would have the conversation after coming out of the woods. Did you hear someone walking through the woods? I told him, I said, yeah, oftentimes I would hear someone walking. It was clearly something on two feet that we'd never see anything.

That Wednesday that I was unable to accompany hunting, he was hunting in the same spot. they had hunted for roughly 12 years. And he said, the day I came and saw you that afternoon, and I told you, I refused to hunt there anymore, and I wouldn't tell you why. He said, I even left my preclimber back there

because of what happened. And I said, what do you mean by that, Dad? He said, run. these things exist and there are in a lot more places than people even think

the eastern shore isolated peninsula I'd never heard of anybody even mentioned the word Bigfoot on the eastern shore of Maryland and he continued to tell me

he said I was in my tree stand that morning I'd been up there around 4.35 o'clock and he said around 7.30 I heard something coming from behind me. And he had his tree stand facing

west on a very large pine tree that was up on a sandhill. You could see, as far as the eye could see, without obstruction from some other things like you would on the ground. He was quite high. I'd say probably about 14 or 15 feet up the tree. And he said, I heard it again.

He said, I heard footsteps. what sounded like a very large person. And he said as the footsteps got closer, he said to my very left, about 25 or 30 yards. It wasn't very far. He said, on my left eye, I saw what I thought was another hunter. It's aggravated me quite a bit because pretty far removed into the forest. He rarely saw a hunter there at all, at least in that section of the forest.

and he said I was watching out of the corner of my eye and I was about to say something because I thought it was another hunter he said I turned my head slightly to the left and he said it looked like a man in a guillotsie. He was very tall.

He said it was probably about seven foot tall. He said as I turned my head further to observe it, He said, my tree stand shifted due to the wind, and these things can shift and the tree things around. He said it squeaks. He said, when it squeaked, it turned and looked them directly in the eye. And he said, whenever it looked in the eye,

he realized that it was not a human. And he said, the overwhelming fear of what I was looking at completely locked me up. he said, son, I've been through two tours in Vietnam and I've never been so frightened. He said, when it looked him in the eye, he said, this thing had red eyes. And it was completely covered in there. And this is when I said, dad, you had a gun in your hand. He said, this thing, if I had shot it, would have definitely climbed a tree and beat me their death with it.

he said it was so massive and so scary looking and he said it was quite much like something out of a horror film and he said whenever it gave him a gaze and it scared at him for a few moments and it just as quickly as it had turned his head to look at him it shifted back the way it was going and ran directly through a briar patch that was frankly impenetrable by a human being any else.

And he said, whenever I heard, you know, no more tree snapping, no debris being stepped on, I immediately climbed down my tree standing and headed the other direction. He said, after that, I didn't want anything to do with that property. It was intensely frightening.

Don't learn about your shingles risk the hard way. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today. Sponsored by GSC I think a lot of people have this impression Well if I got a gun And I'm out there and I see one I'm going to shoot it And I think there's something

Primordial in a person's brain That stops you from reacting In a logical manner And that's what he definitely experienced that day And it's frightening him so much He never returned to get his free climber And refuse to ever hunt there again It's just an absolutely fascinating story.

First, thank you so much for sharing. Did he say anything about if he heard it make any noise at all? Yes, yes, he did. He said when it shifted his gaze and looked at him, and when it shifted his head back away from him, and it started running, he said it sounded like a lion and an elephant at the same time. as it was running through that ticket. He said, and it screams probably as long as he could hear it breaking branches.

I don't know how many yards that would be, but it's quite a distance before you stop hearing something in the woods. When you're in a forest, things tend to amplify and sound. And so I'm assuming he was probably a couple hundred yards away before my father even reacted to get out of the tree stand. and he said that sound was it was absolutely frightening to the bone the tree fan he was in

he had just bought the previous season and tree climbers at the time were quite expensive and for him to have left it not to ever retrieve it it was surprising to me he didn't tell me this story until just a couple months before he died

I recall the day because he told me, he said, we're never hunting there again. We will never hunt there again. And I asked him, why not? And he said, son, we're just not hunting there anymore. And I left it at that. And I really put no thought into it until he told me this story. He just fired his death. After he told me this story, I took the time to look around because, like I said,

I've never heard of anything humanoid being cited on the, Eastern Shore. But as I told you previously, that particular swamp was widely discussed as being haunted, but no one ever said haunted by who or what. And after hearing this story, I have no doubt that is what people probably hear or see in that area. And that's why it was quote unquote haunted. How far back did those accounts that you found through your research go back roughly? At least several decades. Now, I didn't research any further than that, but when he told me this story, when I started doing research, I know there were other accounts pretty much starting from the northern part of Delaware, which is on the peninsula, with Delaware, Maryland, and then Burd.

Virginia. A lot of people aren't going to even know what the eastern shore is or even where it's at. But it's a peninsula that hangs off the east coast there. When you think of D.C. or Baltimore, you've got the bay, and then you have the eastern shore, which is Delaware, Maryland, and a portion of Virginia. And the few sightings that I'd come across this, a cursory search on the Internet, there were sightings in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia the same year. You're in Florida now, but this has influenced you down there. You say you are looking for the skunk ape down in Mayaka State Park, correct? Right, correct.

So much that I've actually, in the last six months, move adjacent to the state park. Because where I was living here in Florida, which was Bradenton, Bradenton, Sarasota area, that's west of this Biacca area. And it would take me about an hour to get where I needed to be just before I even got out of my car. Now it takes me five minutes. It gives me time to really focus on what I'm trying to do out there. Personally, I haven't experienced anything.

I've come across some partial prints that are questionable, but I have yet to come across any full print that I could cast, say, yeah, that's definitely not human. But after my father told me that, and he was emphatic, that I continued to search because you hear stories from people that live here and have lived here for many generations. And these stories, I believe to be, are 100% accurate and true. Are you able to share any of those stories that have been passed around for generations,

or is that a thing where we can't really talk about? Most of what I've seen are blimpses at this thing. Not so much long periods of time to observe them, but there's been people tell me they've had one run across the road really late at night on some of these back roads. And so people are not familiar with how remote this area is as far as there's some of these roads back here. There's literally nothing.

with trees and swamp and more water. As far as you can see, people think of Florida is pretty well built up, but the center of the state is still primordial. It really is. It's a beautiful site. And I encourage everybody to come and check out our state parks

because there are magnificent creatures out here to be seen by all. and the skunk ape is an extremely rare creature and people do see it and there's i have no doubt of that what do you feel that the skunk ape is what is it that you're looking for when you go out exactly personally i feel i feel in connection with all creatures not it's not just the skunkate aspect of it when i'm out i'm not just looking for skunkingame i'm looking for other rare animals also. But I feel a connection

like deep in my soul when I look through these things because to me it feels like maybe a cousin or some kinship to it, to humans. And it's hard to put in words, but I feel a spiritual connection there. And, you know,

I hope one day to be able to see one or at least get some really good evidence through footprints or other means. The state is restrictive about what you can and can't do in there. As far as like putting cameras up and things like that, you have to get permission and they have to be put on a map. And the rangers keep eye on things like that. It makes it a little more difficult because of that. You're out there.

You're going to have to experience it yourself or witness something that is enough for you to say, wow, this is it. This is real. And I think there's certain things that some people require and others are willing to take a feeling and a need to try and find these things. I agree. Once you've started to look for the creature, whatever that is and wherever that is, It's a thing that it's pretty hard to give up once you start looking for it.

You also mentioned that there were acquaintances you had that had gotten video of the skunk ape. Is that anything more you can go into? I'll say this. The guy I'm referring to, his video has made the rounds on various supernatural shows and things. The funny thing is, and this amazes me a little, they always show just this video, Never any of his snapshots that he managed to take. He got really close to this thing. And for whatever reason, they never used

his snapshot photos he had. But keep in mind the video he had, there was probably two dozen people standing there witnessing this. And if you go back and look at the video and anybody is familiar with big pudding or skunky, probably knows the video I'm referring to. I don't want to say his name because I haven't spoken to him about this. But if you go back and look at the video, as the video begins, just to his right,

there's a young lady standing there with a massive camera. Now, what I'd like to know is what happened to her snapshots. Things like that, I don't know why go unnoticed or ignored. but I guarantee there are more photos or videos of this thing from that same event. That's very interesting

because I'm 99% that I know what video you're talking about but it's interesting to know that extra information where there are other people there and you bring up a good point what happened to what they captured

if they're listening and contact me at Bigfoot Society at gmail.com I'd love to hear that information or see what you had captured as well. That's very interesting. There's videos and photographs into this guy because it's important that we document these things. If they are as rare as I believe they are, they should be put on it in danger or a rare species list. So people don't go out there and deliberately shoot these things.

one thing so rare and beautiful to be observed, not hunted. Hernando will end with this. What will it take for you to feel like you've reached your goal of searching for this creature down in Florida? What would be the thing that would have to happen in order for you to feel like you've reached your goal? For me personally, it would have to be a siding

similar to my father's or the gentleman that took the video I'm referring. do. His feelings what he was saying was 100% real. It wasn't a bear. It was on two feet.

It was human-like. And it did not want to be harassed. I appreciate you reaching out. And this has been an extremely enlightening conversation. I'm sure that in the future, once you're able to find

what you're looking for, I would definitely say, don't be afraid to reach back out to me. I'd love to talk to you again. But are there any closing words before we wrap up this phone call? Yes. Never give up. Anybody out there that Bigfoot don't give up. They are out there. You could spend an entire lifetime and only see one or none, but they are out there. All right, Bigfoot Society. We've got the privilege of talking to a new friend. Keith calling in from Vancouver Island.

How's it going today, Keith? Really good. Decent weather. Still got snow up there? Yeah, we don't get much in the Old River, where I am, on the west side, middle of the island, and on the east side. And we just spent tonight to have some sound equipment, just some height. You've been looking into Sasquatch for a long time out there. How did you get started with that, Keith?

Company is trying to get to sleep in the middle. of the floor, not in the edges, because the Sasquot should reach into the bungalows and try to grab the kids. An old name that I know of, and that dates back to the 1800. On Vancouver House, you can see it. On this episode of plant killers,

We got some really good howls and barks and tree knocks, and we just set up a sound recorder in the bush up on the ridge below where they were camping. and they said we caught some good info.

The sasker have a habitat. We got saskwarkers that live on Wednesday in a chase a forest. The saskwarkers hurt them up into a valley in the wintertime and we'll feed off of them during the winters. Little habitat, a thousand miles long and maybe 75 miles wide at the widest point. Side of this in China. I'm over from Maine.

I'm over there for some reason. and spend a lot of time on the beaches, picking clamshells, and other beings real hotspots for them. It's annoying, they tell us. There's so many, it gets dogs barking up at the rise. The tower was half a mile up through. The man walked in his dog up by the water tower, and the Sasquatch walked right in front of him,

and the guy didn't believe in them until then. He just lives in normal river That was pretty cool in town That's pretty nice for Gold River But we are settled in the bush We do have bears A lot of black bears In the Gold River

In the island Cougars, wolves And there's probably about 40 grizzly bears Up at the north end Of the island now Yeah, we got quite a variety of animals Lots of food Food on the island

have a seal, equipment up, and get Sasquatch on the beach, eating clamshells. So that's their goal. You mentioned you have grizzly bears around the area. And I've talked to a gentleman in Montana, and he said there's times when the Sasquatch will almost fight the grizzlies. They found grizzlies that have their necks broken. Have you ever heard any experiences where the Sasquatch are going up against? the larger predators in the area of the river or anything? The grizzlies, I don't know, but the bears won't.

They won't matter. Yeah, the black bears. Yeah, they're not like nothing. They'll bring down no to go to the head. Don't name it. It's not hunting season. Lots of access. And the Vancouver Islands logged.

Well, that's the sad part. Really nice. The parks of the island, really nice. Really grown over a beautiful. He's running up and down in Imkish Valley. Just what every mountain will have a cave unit somewhere in this. some walkers I know who are out and grow

we got residential soft squatchez and we got island hoppers it's how do you describe it a friend and I were up in a mountain lake of town here and there was a giant picnic table

there and where we camped from the picnic table must have been about 80 yards towards the lake and then you come across the picnic table make a left and down three steps and you're on the lake and such as a giant picnic table

table somewhere made out of some old wood that was falling over in the wind blow. We're out there one night, 10 o'clock a night, day four, day five. We're out there, 10 o'clock a night, and we hear this knock on the picnic table. Three wrapped. You can't control that. And then the adrenaline. My buddy, we looked at it. It's moved. It's handy to grab and run to the picnic table. We never heard a thing after that. but we never heard it come

I think it walked along the lake that snuck into the camp up to the prison table and then wrapped the three wraps up there but that was exciting another time the same man same guy was out with we spent 10 days up in the river

and I we chased one up the mountain and we got nine whooped mountain and we came to a rock the way we can get up that rock once we go to the table It turned into a rock face. Climbed up through the moss.

Was ripped off the rock in certain areas. That's what they got Campanzi. Climbing up there by an 1,800-pound one. All fours. I came back down to camp. I had my video camera going. Jumped his mountain. Trying to get a case in a saskatch up there that we saw earlier.

I got nine whoops. I'm videotaping. You can hear them. But I made the mistake and walked towards the river. Okay. and the river. So you got more that else where you talk about that putin

rotten meat across a dead deer or something in the bush. Never come anything like trees being poisted up in the air and I've never come across here. On the mainland day, I've heard stories a four foot round tree

will be wedged up against another one and then four or five of them jammed up against him. Never found those. Your gorilla. Don't make house. have you found nest sites then it's hard to say because the ground out here is like you get sure a bunch of find an indent where the Sasquatch in the background by those three altar trees so he's in trail camera up there the elk were up there a while ago there's lots of fresh cat a few deer so i said oh

those two. So the elk with a trail camera up, maybe we'll catch an elk or the deer, maybe even a Sasquatch. So I've got some trail cam in the area where I've got a picture of a Sasquatch. So that's pretty interesting. It was like, who are caught?

Something was following us. But you don't hear a lot. Our bush is really quiet. We heard maybe four birds today when we're out for three hours hiking around today at one's late me and two buddies

the bush is very quiet and we're talking about deer and elk while we're hiking we make so much noise for people to walk and we're talking about like a deer

our valleys echo highways are driving down the valley that car will echo four miles down the valley everything hears you coming Well, I found the best way to find the Sasquatch is let him come to you. And that's why we spend days. Walks had camping with activities 20 days.

I brought a guy in from Hope and 20 days in the movie. And that was really interesting. We had no equipment, equipment on sound equipment, I wouldn't know big mics. And night vision. I've had a friend of mine that had 3,000 goggles, $3,000 goggles for night vision. And boys, like looking at daytime. But there are guys who got money. I'm anywhere in this forest.

Going back to how you mentioned that you grew up around the Indian culture, do you happen to remember any other stories of Sasquatch that you would have heard growing up that you can share? I just, the older guys would say they would not sleep. They're trying to get through the east side. They'd be camping in the Sasquatch area. and Sasquarkers knew it. Keith, I appreciate your chat and I've got a curveball question for you. The thing I love about Canada is that up there,

there's plenty of these stories about dinosaurs and things seen. Prehistoric creatures. You've got the Partridge Creek Monster. You've got the Nahani Valley where supposedly there's an undiscovered valley of prehistoric creatures. If you hear stuff like that, does that jog your mind to any stories at all that you've heard over the years? And if not, don't worry about it. No, not for pre-to-sea creature.

We did get one. We find a big skeleton on one of the rivers down the island. Oh, really? So there was a real, yeah, some kind of. Oh, sure. Finn. Yeah. So some creature like that was found on one of the rivers on the island, you know, 120 feet long.

Keith, one last question before I let you go. Has there ever been a time that you can think of over the years of researching in the bush, being out there for days at a time where it was so weird, something was so off that you're like, I'd rather not be here right now. You just got the chills. Anything like that. But there's a longer. It's only about three bus my Jeep.

Set up a tent. My buddy went and crashed in there. I spent the night on a fire. It would sit down and break a branch or twig. Not a big twig, but just a side of a toothpick, and you're here. And I turned around and couldn't see any trees in the mountains. But it never moved. It stayed in that one place behind me.

And I never got the nerve to stand up. I didn't have a flashlight because I wasn't expecting to break down. Clock night. Yeah, that's the only freaky thing I ever had where I knew I shouldn't have been It's like, buddy sleeping in tent. Yeah. I'm sitting out here. It was all night.

It would break a little brand. I couldn't see it. Man, yeah. For about five hours, it just teased me. That's funny. But after a while, I started to freak me out because it wouldn't stop. Uh, yeah. And that was the thing.

And I would turn around. I couldn't see. Wow. Very cool. That's a cool story. I shouldn't be here. Okay. Yeah.

I appreciate you chatting with me tonight. Keep me in mind if anything else, weird happens in the future, hit me up on Facebook, let me know. Maybe we can get a new chat with you in the future.
