Thanks for leaving a voicemail, Dave. Wow, this is pretty cool, man. My name is Dave. I'm from Clark County, Ohio. I was 65 years old,

and I'm the dummy that had a slew of activity throughout my life and didn't figure it out until I finally watched Finding Bigfoot in 2013. And yeah, like me, like a lot of other people, tune in to finding Bigfoot, nothing else was on TV. I was going to make fun of these guys. And sure enough, within five minutes, one person after another is talking about things that they experienced, and they mirror exactly what I went through. So after seeing a couple shows, they had an all-day, all-day marathon. Actually, a whole weekend marathon on finding Bigwood that weekend.

After seeing a few shows, I figured out, man. It was Bigfoot that I was having experience with. One of the encounters that happened with me happened while I was working at Perforon lawn care. they laid us off in the wintertime, and they paid us a little bit of money, and we'd combine the money with the unemployment, and we get about 85% of our check. Well, I'd take this opportunity to go to these new Meyer department stores. They were popped up all over the Springfield Dayton area.

As a matter of fact, there's like five total. I went from Springfield, my hometown, down to Dayton area. I believe it was either Beaver Creek or Kettering. Remember at this time, I was not Squatch Conscious, so I couldn't recall everything perfectly. I went down there, and I'd go down there late at night, because Myers was open 24 hours a day, and I was buying these cassettes, jazz cassettes,

from Blue Note Records and other places that I couldn't find any place else, but they were cassettes, and it was cool because I'd buy the cassettes and ride around out in the country by myself, you know, between my home and Dayton and Springfield, and make a couple, two, three-hour trip out of it. Well, one of these evenings, I went to Myers, got the cassettes, go out to my car, I go to drive away from the Meyer parking lot,

and I got to urinate, and I'm not the type of guy to go back in, park the car, go back inside Myers. So I thought, well, I'd just go around the back of Myers, and I'll urinate back there. I pull in back there. Myers happens to share dumpsters with about five or six other businesses in this like this little mini mall

area, like a little strip mall. They must have had five or six dumpsters and they were all clustered together. And it's in the wintertime. It's like January, middle of January, I believe. And I get out to urinate and I urinate and I start hearing noises to my left over by these dumpsters. These dumpsters are probably about 40, 50 yards away from me to my left.

And I get done urinate and get back in my car. and when I shut my car door, I'm looking at these dumpsters. Around the corner from the dumpsters comes a huge hairy figure. I figure this is going to be the male. Another one peeks out from beside the dumpsters, like on the right side,

and it slowly makes its way around. And once that slightly smaller one is standing there, and I don't know what to think. After those two are standing there, from around the other side of the dumpsters, comes this little one. And it leaps up into these big green dumpsters and pulls itself up with one,

left hand into the dumpster. And I'm watching this wondering, what the heck am I saying? I can hear it rifling around, rifle around. Next thing I know starts throwing things out of that dumpster. And these, what would be adult big, which are catching it. I must have watched these things for about five or six minutes as that little and another little one came around. So there was four total.

Got into that dumpster and was throwing things out to the adults. Man, I didn't know what to think. Remember, I was not Squatch conscious because this was in the year, I worked the Perforon from like 88 to 94. It was in between that time period, probably like 91, 92. But I'll never forget that. True story. My very first encounter happened in 1969 at John Bryan State Park.

I was 10 years old. It was August. We had relatives come up from Kentucky. It was unusual for two reasons. Number one, we had a late start at the picnic. And the reason is we had to rent that shelter house. It's the one shelter house in the very back where everyone wants to get. There's a field there you can play in, and it's like a surround it on two

sides by John Bryan State Park. Also, the other significant thing is when we first got there, we got the very first parking space. Not a big parking lot, kind of a long, stretchy pencil-like tape thing type thing. And we parked here, and that put me like a side view to these woods. Well, we're at the picnic. When the picnic gets started, there's a stinky dumpster. And it's not a big green dumpster like we have nowadays. It's a dumpster that's like square, about five feet high. It's got like metal. It's a metal dumpster. But around the metal is like, these big boulders that are attached to it. Then around the boulders are like big steel cables.

Well, this dumpster stunk so bad, the adult males attempted to scoot it out of the way so it would be downwind. They couldn't budge this thing. I'm 10-year-old Dave thinking, I'm going to help. I'm pushing on the dumpster. It's not moving. So they found a bunch of big pieces of cardboard, and they pot on top of that dumpster and tamped down the smell.

I immediately go with my sisters from the picnic area or from the shelter house. At the shelter house there, you have a shelter house, then you have a concrete patio, then you got the woods. You get to the edge of the patio, and in the actual woods yourself, you have these wooden steps, which go down about 40, 50 feet, to get to the walk-round area.

We go down the steps, we walk around. The path goes straight ahead, about 20 yards. You turn to your right. You go about... Oh, man, this is Dave again. I wasn't sure where I left off on the story.

I was messing with my cats. I'm at John Bryan State Park. My sisters have already taken me down to look for Tarzan vines. I didn't see any. I go back up the steps. It becomes 8.30 at night. Time to leave.

I said, Mom, can I go down and check for Tarzan Amines one more time? I'm thinking for sure. She's going to say no. If she didn't say no, I'll go down the steps. There's nobody in the woods. I start to take a few steps ahead. Something peaks out from my left side from behind a tree. I see a big hairy half face.

It peaks out, it jerk his head back, and I'm thinking I did not see that. A couple more steps ahead. Same thing happened. To my left, at a tree. A tree's about 15 feet off, 15 yards off the road. Maybe 15 feet. It's not very far. A tall tree, medium size, got bushes around it.

This thing peaks out from the same side of its right side of the tree. I see a half of hairy head, big eyeball, hairy face. It's way up there. I'm thinking, what the heck am I looking at? I'm wondering why it's arms and legs aren't wrapped around the tree. What's this human being doing staring at me in the woods? And it's kind of dark in the woods. You get rid of sunset.

I take a couple more steps. It happens again. It happened two times on the right side of the tree. Then as I get to the end of the path here before I have to turn right, right before I get to the end, it peaks out again. So I see it twice on its right, twice on its left, and it's to my left, this big hairy head peeking out, half a face,

a big eyeball, he's surprised at me. I get to the end of the path, and I'm getting ready to turn right to really search for these Tarzanian vines, and I think, I'm going to turn and face that tree. I'm going to wait on this thing, see if it's still doing. I'm waiting on this thing to peek out from the tree. It peaks out again, and this time I get a great look at it. Its eyeballs are super surprised that I'm looking at it.

I see that half of face, big hairy head, a hairy face. It jerks his head back again. I only get like a real quick look at it, but I saw it plain as day. Remember, I saw it four times already. I take that right hand turn down the path, walk to the end of the path.

It's about 30, 40, 50 yards ahead. I'm looking all the place for the vines. I don't see no vines anywhere. Pivot, come back around, think I better to get back. It's getting really dark now. No one else is in these woods at all. I walk to the end of the path

where I have to turn left to head towards those steps to go back up those steps to get to the patio of the shoulder house. I'm waiting again. Looking at this tree, this thing peeks out again from its left side of the tree

and it's to my right now because I'm facing the other way. I see it plain as day. I get a good, quick look at that big hairy head and face. It's way up there. And I'm thinking, okay, and now I know I saw that. And I'm thinking, I cannot tell anybody. If I tell my mom, she'll never let me go into the woods again.

I proceed to walk ahead. And it actually peaked out again another time from the other side of the tree. And I caught it again peripheral, this time jerk on my head to the right. I go back up the steps. We finish packing up, get to the parking lot. Remember, I'm in the very first slot. The spot we had parking wise is facing straight ahead towards the shelter house. Shelterhouse is just slightly to my left.

I'm sitting in the back seat of my mom, dad's car. My sister's to the left of me talking out the left side backseat passenger window to somebody. My sisters love to talk. They're about five years older than me. My two parents and my other sister are in the parking lot to my right yacking away at the relatives, you know, when you leave and how long is he going to take you? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's dark now, but I can still see that patio because at that shelter house, at the very

tip top of the shelter house, there's one single light bulb. Same type of light bulb you screw into a lamp at your house. It's kind of dim, but I can see. I'm staring ahead at the patio, just spacing out, thinking about what a great day it was. Up from those steps, which the steps are in the woods, I got a side view now in the woods. Up from the steps jumps this humongous, hairy, furry thing. I immediately look to my right. No one's looking.

This big hairy furry thing, which is a big foot, I didn't know at the time. It jumps up on his patio. It's in like a linebacker stance with his knees, bend his arms out. It whips his head, left, right, left, right to look for humans. I could remember seeing the hair between its right ear. and this right shoulder whipping back and forth like a hippie. It's 1969. I'm thinking some hippie do, but it wasn't.

This was no human, man. This was a big foot. I mean, it was hairy head to toe. Big, tall, black, brownish thing, man. It immediately runs through this dumpster. By the way, the parking lot that I'm sitting is about 35, maybe 40 yards from the patio and the shelter house. And I'm looking at this.

This thing trots around to the back side of the dumpster. And I can barely see it now because I've kind of got a side view and it's real dim. And this thing starts rifling through the dumpster. It sounds like God has a stirring stick that's going around and around. And I'm looking at the adults. No one's looking. And it's loud. It's loud.

No one's looking but little baby boy here. This thing then takes this dumpster, picks it up to about shoulder high head level, turns it upside down, slams it on to the concrete. Boom, bum, ba-dum. And I'm looking at the adults, and the adults barely look over their shoulders. They take a quick glance and go back to talking. I'm thinking, how can they not be interested? I'm stunned. I'm stunned.

And I hear this thing rifled through the trash, rifled through. Well, I stood there for, we sat there in the parking lot for another five minutes or so. No one's looking. I said to my mom, mom, what is that? My mom said, oh, they probably just come to take out the garbage. I was stunned. I'll finish here more than a second. Five minutes are up.

Fantastic. This is Dave again, Clark County, 65 years old, Springfield, Ohio. I want to tell you about the encounter I had. The year was 1998. I was going to Stop's bodybuilding gym, worked out there from like 9 to 11, 1115, ate my baked potato, ate my tuna, left the place, decided to go to the UDF ice cream store and gasoline place in Enid, Ohio. Stopped's body building gym is at Fairborn.

It's about 10 minutes to Enan. So I stopped with the UDF, get the milkshake, go to leave. I'm in my big black Cadillac, 1972, it's 1130 at night, spit in snow, January again. And I think, I want to eat my meal. milkshake nice and slow. I'm going to take Schneider Road instead of taking the main road so I can take these country back roads and enjoy this milkshake. I take the right out of UDF, go across, I'm on Snyder Road, go across one set of railroad tracks. It's a real tight turn. It's like a, it's like a little S turn, and you've got to go like five mile an hour, pitch black, spit in snow.

I stop, and I believe it's the first or second tracks to stop, stir my milkshake. I love milkshakes. I love milkshakes. I check my rear rear mirror, make sure no one's coming, put my car in neutral, Starts through this milkshake, and a rock hits my car from the right side. It's my Cadillac, man. Pitch dark out there. I looked at my right out the pasture side window, and it's pitch dark. I mean, there's no light anywhere. The dirt below, which sits about three feet below where the railroad tracks are, it's pitch black.

No light's nothing. So I lean over to the pasture seat to see if I can see if there's someone there, and I'm thinking, well, who would be out here at 1130 at night, going to rock at my Cadillac, cold or in heck, you know, like 24, 25 degrees, spit in snow. As I'm leaning up to my Cadillac seat, passenger side, on the seat with my ride elbow behind my car about 15, 20 feet off the road and behind my Cadillac sitting off the road about 15, 20 feet, maybe 30 feet. There's just big head up in the air.

It's way up there. It's lit up, not the head lit up, but the face is lit up, and it's like it's got its back to me. It's looking over its right shoulder and bearing his teeth like, rur, no sound coming out, but that's what it was like. It was like looking over its right shoulder, bearing its teeth. The face is lit up. Guys, this is not eyeshine. This was face shine. It did it like three or four times.

Finally, I straightened up my seat. I thought, what the heck am I looking at? I go to lean to my right again, to lean off that, you know, to lean on the passenger seat, look out that window again. And this face is in my passenger window. About three and a half to four feet away is a huge head. The entire face is lit up. It's like its feet are backed by the Cadillac,

and it's bent at the waist, and cocking's head to its left looking at me through my pasture window. Its head was about in a 45 degree angle, by the way. I'm looking at this face, guys, there's no hair on this face. I'm looking at 100% human eyeballs. I'm astounded. I'm looking at this human, which is not human.

It's a big face. No hair. No hair on the face. Black hair on top of the head. I can see the snow glisten off the shoulders. It had a nose like Basil Rathbone. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. What if you could get more from what you already do?

That's the first thing I really thought, even before the human eyes, I thought, this thing kind of nose like battle a wrath bone. I, myself, I got a long skinny nose. Scott's Iris. And I'm looking at the eyes of this thing and the eyes are intense like I do not want you here. Then I go down from the nose to the teeth. It's bearing his teeth where the corners of your mouth is like pulled back as far as they can like a dog does. What's bearing his teeth at you? I can see every tooth in this thing's mouth, man. This cat had dental work that would have made any dentist proud. I could see molars. I saw bicuspid. Every single tooth was there. The biggest snarl in his face you could ever want to see. And it had canines top and bottom.

The top ones were long. The bottom ones were naturally shorter. I'm looking at this thing in its eye. It's looking at me. I'm staring back at it. It's not moving its eyes from my eyes. And we're staring at each other. And I'm telling I stared for a good two, two and a half, maybe three minutes until I finally realized,

oh, I better check my rear view of your mirror, see if someone's coming. I straightened up my seat, checked the rear view. No one's there. This happened three or four, maybe five times that I leaned to my right a little bit to look at the eyes this thing. I'm telling you, if I didn't get a five to seven minute look at this thing, then I got an eight to ten minute look. We stared at each other in the eyes intently. I mean, it seemed like I say five to seven minutes. And I moved my hand one time towards the radio to see if it would take his eyes off of my eyes.

And it did. It glanced at my hand. When I brought my hand back, it went right back to my eyeballs. Man, this thing was given me the most hateful look you could ever imagine. The size of this face was like the size of a pillow. If you like to cut the four corners off of the pillow, this thing, this face was humongous, guys. And I'm telling you, it was not eyeshine. The entire face was lit up, equally.

And I remember the skin looked to be like a tan leathery, like a light baseball mitt. Okay, my time is you get ready, and I'm going to stop here and continue. Oh, fantastic. Dave McFadden here, Clark County, Springfield, Ohio. I just finished telling you about Ian in Ohio, the milkshake, the railroad tracks, the big hair on the face, no hair on the face, black hair on the head. I ended up staring into its eyes for about five to seven minutes. A car eventually did come from behind me. I saw it turn the corner coming towards me.

I pulled out there rather quickly. And I'll never forget the car coming up from behind me. This car had to have seen that thing because it was only like a few seconds before it was on my tail. And it gets behind me and it's only behind me for a half a second. This car whips around me and nails it going down Snyder Road. I'll never forget that. I'm going to go into a site I had. it was at 1987, Urbana, Ohio, about 10 miles of Springfield, north of Springfield,

and I was working at Buckles Motors. We had a Christmas party sometime during Christmas at 1987, I believe it was right before Christmas. I left about 2.30 in the morning. It's snowing outside. It's December. And I'm just accelerating from leaving Urbana from like a 35-mile zone to a 50-mile-per-hour zone. And the snow was, or the snow was on the ground. so it was slick, so I wasn't going to go much more than 40.

Just as I get about to 40 miles per hour, ahead of me, about 30, 40, maybe 50 yards, a little less. This deer, from my left to my right, young deer comes sprinting across the highway. I'm talking full speed. I mean this thing, like a flash of lightning. And I immediately go into my brakes, thinking, what the heck? It was a deer.

It was a deer. And after I come to my brakes, just slowing down a little bit to think, man, that thing was flying. I wonder why I was doing that for. To my left, about 15 feet off the road, come two adult deer. It would look to be like a male with a rack and then a slightly smaller female.

I'm thinking like a mom and dad. It stopped about 15 feet for the road. I've pretty much now come to a stop. And it's to my left. And it looks to its left. These two deer do. And to its left come a baby deer. And I'm telling you,

it's the smallest deer I've ever seen in my life. This baby deer is trotting across the road at no, and no hurry whatsoever. I mean, this thing was in no hurry. It was like a slow trot, trot, trot, trot, trot, trot, immediately right on the tail of that baby deer, while the two adults are still standing there,

is this small black furry thing. And I'm telling me it was a baby Bigfoot. I didn't know at the time because I wasn't a squatch conscience. It was 1987 December. This young squash was like on all fours, and its nose was almost touching the tail of the baby deer. and the baby deer was in no hurry whatsoever. And they slowly trotted across the road.

That was like 1,001,0002,0003. It's in front of me now. 1004,0005 was off the road. Then the two adult deer mosey out in front of me. There are no hurry. They actually hesitated in front of my car. Then they finished walking across the road. They were in no hurry.

I'm telling you, that baby squash nose was almost touching the tail of that baby deer, which was in no hurry whatsoever. It seemed to be plain like follow the leader. the swatch was. The adults were not concerned. That was 87. I remember driving away thinking, what the heck did I see? That was weird. Well, that same area is an area I used to bike at, biking. I started biking in 2009. I retired at the age of 50, June. I started biking, riding a bike, bought me one. Started biking more and more, more miles, more and more, finally I found myself biking from Springfield out into the county towards Urbana. I eventually made it almost

to Urbana. Now, this time when I'm talking now, we went from June to September. The reason I started biking more and more later at night, which was now nighttime, was because it was so darn hot. I'm 57 years old. And as the later, the later I started leaving the house, the later I started biking, finally I started biking in the evening time. I find myself out by Route 55 in Urbana. It's about 10, 15 at night.

It's the first week of September. I stopped to urinate. I had just eaten, no, I stopped to urinate first. I take a step to my left. I'm off the bike now. I take a step from the path onto the grass, which is about 10, 50 feet from the concrete, you have grass, you have 10 to 50 feet of grass, and you have a line of bushes. It's like small trees and bushes all the way down the path.

There's also this heavily wooded area, which is to my left, and I'm looking at, which is located across a cornfield. Cornfield is about 75, 100 feet wide. So about 100 yards away, you get this big wooded area. It's not big. It's this rectangular shape. And it sets up kind of high. I'm thinking, man, that looks scary, but it wasn't big, and there are houses there because there's forms there.

Well, as soon as I take the step from the concrete onto the grass, up above me to my right, I hear a rock coming through the bush from the trees above. Thunk-thunk-a-thunk. It lands to my left, about 10 feet away. I'm thinking, got to be kids. Okay, my time's get ready to stop here. I'm going to finish just a second, but yeah, this went on. I'll finish it up here.

Okay, David here, I was telling you about the Springfield-Urbana area. I left off where the rocks were being thrown at me for three. years in the in the route 55 in Urbana near that same area just a mile or two back south there's a place called Cedar Bog it's actually a fan it's small and uh there was a time in 77 that i was new year's eve in 1977 i was playing kissy face with my girlfriend out of Cedar Bog in the parking lot and the windows are all steamed up and she practically throws me off her says this is a great big what great big guy in a fur coat walk right by the car I said what she's a great big guy a white fur coat, walk by the car.

Remember the windows steamed up. I'm looking, I don't see nothing. I'm an 18-year-old dude. I want to keep making out, you know. And she wasn't the type to throw me off of her, believe me. But this happened again, about seven, eight, ten minutes later. She throws me off over. There it goes again.

I said, Pam, stop it. Come on, man. You know, what are you doing this for? She was a drama queen anyway, it turns out. But she ends up, about a minute of up going back and forth, by she ends up leaning into the front seat, taking the back of her hand and squeaking the, the fog off the windshield.

I looked through my front windshield and going into the woods, the last step and a half, I seen this great big, tall, hairy thing with white fur on it. Maddened fur, kind of dirty. I saw his last step and half. And I said, huh, why I'll be darned. And I said, we better get out here and should we got out of there. That's Cedarbog. Well, I read

on North American Bigfoot website that another couple had the exact same thing happen to them. Big hairy white, big foot, big fur coat. They said, and they saw it walk by, and they were playing kissy face out of Cedar bog. Cedar boggs off of the same general area where I had left the Urbana Christmas party in 87 and had the several deer crossed the path, the one with the little, the baby deer trotting across with the baby bigfoot right on his nose.

Let me see where I was going to go with this. Oh, I end up going on my bike, on the bike path, 2013, didn't see, didn't have any more rocks on it because there were people in the woods having a picnic. I went back two or three more times between like 2013 and 2017. Nothing happened until 2017. I'm out there again late at night. Don't remember exactly what time it was. I'm squatched conscious now.

And I started hearing from my left across in that wooded area, a big whistle, starting real low and going real high. Like, when it was longer than that, it lasted a good 10 seconds, maybe. It did it like seven or eight times. And I remember trying to imitate the whistle, but I couldn't do it. I tried to do my own whistle. And I think I ended up like doing some, doing like a, instead of like a wood knock, I take the paw on my hands and I go like that, making it like a pop sound.

And it did like seven or eight times. I don't think it was answering me. It may have been. But I got ready to leave out of there. And I forget what time it was. It was definitely dark and late at night. And I don't remember the exact month. I got ready to put my leg, my right leg, over that bicycle seat.

And right above the area where those rocks were being thrown to me for those three years, comes a sawpaw-all-sized wide orb. It comes down, like does an S. and stops about three to four feet away from me above my head to my left. I looked at it. It's like bouncing, bouncing, bouncing, bouncing. I reached up with my left hand to take a hold of it. It bounced up in a way about a foot,

bounced up a couple more times, and zipped away the same way that it came. True story, guys. I've never seen it over before my life. Softball size white. That actually happened. I reached up for it. It bounced up about a foot in the way, bounce, bounce, bounce, and it zipped away. And I got the heck out of there.

back there since. But I was going to try to go into another one. Oh, I was working at a major pizza place. I worked from 1999 until 2009. Remember I told you I retired in 2009? Well, this was in March of 2009. I retired in June. In March, we have an area called Lower Valley Pike. On either side of Lower Valley Pike is Mad River and Buck Creek. They're not real big, but they, but they're on either side of this area. This area is just outside the city of Springfield on the west side. I come down the hill, go past the house, which turns out to be the house I'm supposed to deliver a pizza to. It's 11.30 at night. The pizza's already tried to be delivered by a rookie.

He couldn't find it. So the veteran here in his 10th year going to try and deliver his pizza. So it's already a little bit late. I ain't got time to mess around. I go past the house, go down to a grassy area at the other end of this house. At the other end of the big yard, it's a big yard that actually used to have horses out in front of it. I stop, turn left into this, like this grass area, which is facing this house. I'm checking my map just to make sure it's got addresses on,

just to make sure I've got it right here. Yep, that's the area I need to go to. I go to back out. I've got my engine car running and my lighters straight ahead. My lighters are hitting this fence, this big fence that's in front of this yard and I'm supposed to go to, but I go down to the other end. Okay, man, I'm getting ready to end here.

But just to, I'll finish up here in just a second. Okay, Dave here. I was just telling you about the Lower Valley Pike. I'm delivering the pizza. I'd stop, check the map. A Lower Valley Pike, connects to Snyder Road. Snyder Road is the road I told you about where I stopped on the railroad tracks,

stirring a milkshake, squats appears in my pasture side Cadillac window, same area. Lower Valley Pike, stop, check the map. I go to back up and my headlights are shining on this fence, which is a big, tall, like a horse farm fence. I see in my headlights, just as I back up, I see this, and I'm looking to a trees, looking at a couple of small trees. I see this thing stand up.

I see a man-like figure. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. What if you could get more from what you already do?

And I see this huge knee come up. Left knee had come up. This thing, and remember, I've just backed up, and now my headlights are pointing on the road.

This thing, that big knee comes up, and this thing takes one, two, three, four steps in front of my car. It angles from far away to my car, to in front of my car. It passed from front of my car, probably 25, 35, 35 feet in front of me, maybe. guys, I saw this thing go about four steps. I saw this thing go about four steps. It went about 40,

45 yards and four steps. I'm telling you this thing. I got the snapshot of it as it passed right to my headlights. And I still got the same car and the passengers or the drivers I had light points up slightly. I'm telling you this thing was every bit of 10 feet tall. If it was not 10 feet tall, then it was 10.5 to 11 feet tall. I'm telling you the strides on this thing were, I mean 15 yard strides. I see that big left knee come up one, two, three, fourths across the road and into these people's backyard. It passed from my right to my left. I got that snapshot as it passed right in front of my car. That headlights pointing up. This thing, I could see the sweep of the thigh. As it goes in front of my car, I can see the left knee was up and the right leg was striding backwards. It had its

head turned to the right so that I could not see its face. I could see that. I got that snapshot right in front of my car, man. I'm telling you it was 10 feet tall. I swear to you, man. I didn't tell anyone when I went back to the shop, man. I didn't know what I'd seen. Remember, it's 2009 on my Squat's Conscious yet. I didn't become Squatch Conscious until 2013 March. But that's a true story, man. I want to back up. Remember I told you about the rocks being thrown at me out Route 55 Urbana and also that same general urban area where I was on the road coming back from the Christmas party, 1987, Buckless Motors, and the deer crossed in front of me, the little baby one with the the baby squats with his nose touch his tail.

Same general area. Cedar bog, by the way, small thin, that has water surrounding it, and that water stays at a constant 54 degrees year-round, no matter what the temperature is, no matter how bad the weather is. It stays at that 54 degrees. It's got that underground spring coming up.

That's a true story about that, man. But, yeah, that thing was 10 feet tall that pass in front of me. I swear to you. Let me see if I can go into. That same Snyder Road area, There's a ball field. A ball field where Snyder and Upper Valley actually meet.

It's called the county road, the county league area. No lights. I'm playing in a league out there. It's late league, August. I forget the year. I want to say like 9-89, 991. These dudes from Urbana, who worked for a good factory called Drackett, recruited me to play ball for him.

I was actually a pretty darn good ballpark. God bless me in that area. And I'm thinking maybe if I play ball with these guys, maybe I get a job at Bracketton, you know. I'm not a real highly highly trained dude. So we're out there. I go to run for first to second base. The bases are five feet shorter than what I'm normally used to playing for.

Just as I get my speed up, I got to slow down. Groundball was shortstop. I start to slide in a second, but the shortstop bobbled the ball. I end up taking a stride in a second, busted my ankle on the bag, tore ligaments badly. These Urbana dudes, man, after the game was over, with carry me about 100 yards to my car in the parking lot. I thought, man, I got to have a beer with these dudes, man.

I only drink one beer. I'm a good guy. We're drinking this beer. Everyone else has gone for the lot. It's dark now. There's me and two Urbana guys. And we hear this scream off to our left. This is Mrs. Snyder Road, the same year I had my car stopped on, Cadillac.

This scream was like, wow, like the woman being murdered on with a male voice. And this dude who was front of me did the same thing back to it, but we didn't get no answer. Well, years earlier, the year was 1980, Christmas 1980. I go to go home with my buddy from Alabama. He lives in a Henswell, Decatur area. I'm driving my car from New Mexico to Alabama, but I got to stop in Tennessee, drop this dude off. We stopped somewhere in Louisiana to take a whiz. We go down the road, come by these houses, parking this grassy area.

And that same screen that I heard years later, as we're taking a whiz, wah! Same type of scream, male voice. We went, what the heck was that? And this one dude said, man, that comes from the area? We said, no, it comes from the area, dude. But yeah, same type of screen, same area. Okay, Dave, here.

I was just finishing up about the screen. that I heard in Louisiana and in Ohio. Same identical scream, not the same area. One was in Louisiana, one was in Ohio, but the exact same scream. I mean, it almost sounded like the same Bigfoot. Obviously, it wasn't. But it was a large male woman type of scream, a woman being murdered type of scream. But I was going to go into my very first road crossing I had.

I'm taking my car. I'm in the military. Christmas break. I'm leaving Ohio and I'm going to New Mexico. And I'm on Interstate 44. I'm either in Illinois or Missouri. I can't remember exactly where it was. I come to this area on Interstate 44 that it's way high up in here.

I'm climbing this hill and thinking, man, this is a steep hill. It's as far as I've ever climbed an automobile. I get to the top of the hill. It's almost being like a roller coaster. It's almost like a roller coaster. The month is in a, it's just after January, just after New Year, 1980, taking my car. And as I get to the top of this hill, it's almost like a roller coaster. When you go over the first hill, you almost get that stomach feeling.

I'm on top of this hill and there's this huge. huge, long stretch of roads. I bet it goes for a mile and a half of just down the hill. And it's steep, and I'm wondering, how do these trucks negotiate this hill in clement weather? Just at the top hill, get right coming in, I can see for miles. There's a cut down cornfield on both sides of the highway. There's a huge medium between the highways, like 100-yard medium,

grassy area between east-going and west going. I start to go down this hill, and to my right, way off on that uncut farm area on the right area. There's a deer coming as fast as it can come. And I'm thinking, man, that deer is flying. I hoping nobody hits. Is it going to keep coming this way? It keeps coming.

And pretty soon I noticed behind that deer, about 30 yards behind that deer, is a big black thing on all fours. And it's hauling. And it's getting it. Man, it's chasing this deer, you can tell. And I'm thinking, these things are going to get run over by car. Well, the deer gets to the road. The Squatch gets to the rich of Squatch all the way.

Squatch gets to the road. It's been on all fours. As soon as it got to the highway, it went up on two legs. It stayed on two legs across the highway, across this big 100 yard wide medium, maybe 75 yards wide, widest median I've ever seen between east and west, you know, between highways, going opposite directions. It stays on all two, I say, goes from all four, stays on two legs across the highway, across my lane, all way across the medium, still on two legs, crosses the highway. Luckily, no cars hit either one of those things. As soon as it gets to the other cornfield on the left side, it goes back down on all fours. It never closed the gap between that squads and that deer.

That squads never closed the gap. That deer was going full sprint, ma'am. But that's a true story, and I'll never forget that. And I'm thinking, what the heck was that I ever see? I didn't know what to think. I said, I wasn't squads conscious until March of 2013. Let me tell you about the time when I'm spraying along for that Perfalon lawn care. I actually sprayed the West Dayton area, Heber Heights, West Dayton, Rough area.

And we went clear to the Indiana line and beyond Indiana. So I'm spraying in the Richmond, Richmond, Indiana area, which is right of on the Ohio-Indena line. And there's county roads I'd hit out there. Well, there's one county road, had a house. I'm spraying it. It's about 10, 15 in the morning. It's real quiet out there. They've got a rectangular-shaped yard.

Attached to this yard is like a Christmas tree farm. A dark wooded area, and you can see all the trees lined up. I start to spray. I go down this rectangular area. I get to the end of the fence, and right before I get to the fence, I hear knock. The knock comes from straight ahead from that wooded area. I know what that knock is. I'm going, well, that was weird.

I take a left hand turns. Keep spraying the lawn. Knock. I hear it plain as day. It's very quiet out there. I get to the end of that side. Get ready to take another left hand turn. Take a left hand turn.

Knock. Go back up. Take a left hand turn. Now I'm heading down towards that wooded area again. When I get to the wooded area again, same thing happened. Knock. Take a left. Knock.

Get to the end. Knock. I come back around. Come down one more time. This is the third and final time. I'm not near the fence now. But it did it again. As I got near the fence, knock.

When I took the left-hand turn, no knock. When I got down to the end, no knock again. That actually happened. That's the only time I can ever recall hearing knocks. I had a bush blow up at me at my aunt's house out on Shrine Road, Springfield, Ohio, out in the county. I forget how old it was, 10, 11, 12, maybe 13 years old. All those kids are in the background. They got the big backyard.

It's got this wooded area that divides their house and another house. It's not very wide, maybe 30 yards wide. runs the length of their backyard, the whole house, got a farmer's field there with a wooded area in the back there. The frisbee goes to this area to the very end of the backyard up by the cornfield. I go to pick this frisbee up, but this bush blows up, like, and I jump back and all the kids went, whoa, what was that? We all went, what the heck was that?

I picked that frisbee up and walking away real slowly, but we all forgot about. We're kids, we're throwing a frisbee. Never forgot about true story. But if you just see how small that wooded area is, you'd think, man, why have the squats be there? I only got a few more stories to tell. I'll be done this. All right. All right, David McKear. I got a couple more things to say.

I went to a church camp when I was 11 years old. I went like four or five times, like 11th birthday to like 17th birthday. It's down to Saoida Hills, Ohio, right down by the Ohio river, central part of the state, down by the river, down by Portsmouth, called Saota Furnas. Good church camp, no bad counselors, no bad instance. I had a couple rocks don't let me there. We were like 15 years old, but I'm going back up to when I was 11 years old. Very first time I went there, we had cabins up by the woods. and these woods surround this church camp called Sioda Hills Baptist Church Camp

and we're at the cabin up by the top guys' cabins are on the right, there's a lake, girls' cabins are on the left and all the cabins are up by the woods. We're at the furthest one by the woods. It's late at night, two, three, four in the morning, 11-year-old kid. We start hearing these trash cans banging outside of our cabin and they're banging loud and it ends up banging against the door. Woke everybody up, woke the counselor up. The counselor goes to the door

and we're all scared kids he slowly opens that door peeks out, slams the door back and puts his back against the door and his eyes are the size of saucer plates these looks like he's seen a ghost and he took a couple of deep breaths and he said nobody move

nobody make a sound and he made sure the door was like he stood by that door as this thing was banging against the door because your trash cans banging door to bang a couple times this went off about two or three minutes maybe after the noise stopped he waited about a good five six seven minutes

and world we got our hair i got my head better underneath the underneath the covers man i'm not scared it's that loud and the look on this counselor's face was like man this guy's seen something he finally after all it quiced down opens that door real slow peeks his head out real so he doesn't see anything he goes outside real slow he's outside for a good 15 20 minutes talking to other counselors he ends up coming back in and by this time we're all

Some of them have fallen back to sleep. Other kids are just like, what the heck was that? You know, these are good kids. And he ends up coming inside and telling us, this is the reason why he says, I don't know what I saw. Probably a big old bear. It wasn't a bear. It was a squash, obviously, but we didn't know at the time. But he said, this is why we tell you, do not go into these woods at nighttime or even in the daytime either because we don't know what's out there.

That's a true story, guys, 11 years old. When I was 15 years old, we were coming down from the cabins about 10-15 at night. We wanted to get our table tennis rack. We're the only one's up there. We come back down. If we're coming down the hill, a rock comes flying in from the woods. The very next night, the exact thing happened. Same thing happened.

Go up to get her table tennis rackets. A rock comes in. My buddy turns around, my buddy turns out of us, quit the rocks in us. We took a couple more steps down the hill. A second rock comes in. But that actually happened. Rock on one night, two rocks on the next night. We were 15 years old.

We was 11 years old was when we had the incident with the banging trash cans and the counselor was going, you know, don't go outside. That actually happened. I'm trying to think if there's other little stuff that's happened in my life. There was an incident down in Kentucky when I was 14 years old. My parents were on like a tour of places, people that they hadn't seen for years. I'm 14 years old. They took me along.

My sister stayed home. They were growing up by then anyway. They were like 5 years older than me. They were sitting on the front porch of this house. The house I noticed has bushes that are right up against the right side of the house. I'm sitting on the front porch by the bushy area that my parents are at the other far end of this long porch, talking to my relatives. And I hear this boost blow up next to me. I hear it, like that.

Man, I got away from that thing. And the adults barely heard, and they looked that way. And I said, hey, Aunt Sosa, what was that? You know, probably some big old bear out there. We got them around here sometimes. But that actually happened. But a couple times you did go to Kentucky, they told us, man, do not go into the woods at night. I said, okay, we're going to the daytime.

They said, no, we don't go into the woods at daytime either. I said, well, why? They said, well, there's stuff around here. We really don't know what it is. They didn't elaborate to go into it because I was only like seven, eight, nine years old at the time. But I'll never forget that. And there may be another thing or two that may have happened in my life's squash related, but I've hit on all the big ones that I can remember.

Like I said, I was the guy who had a slew of things happen and didn't know what the heck was going on. Real good conservative family. I would never bash my conservative background, but they always taught me that there's no such things in the woods. There's no ghosts. There's no this, there's no that. So I always believed them. So when all this stuff was happening, I didn't know what to tell anybody. And I'm a real quiet kid anyway, man.

I may be talking about now, but all my life I've been shy and quiet until I hit my 30s and 40s, and now I got something to say. But I always thought that if I tell my parents and my sisters, they're just going to, you know, oh, shut up, that never happened, blah, blah, blah. And I always thought that when I got older, I'll be much older. Now they don't listen to me now. Well, now I'm older, and they still don't want to hear it. Wonderful family.

My parents are dead obviously, but my older sisters don't want to hear it, man. And they're good Christian people, but I'm so glad to have this outlet to tell you this, that you can hear my voice and realize that I'm not lying, man. So I think that's all I got, guys.
