Episode Date: October 22, 2024

Join us on the Bigfoot Society podcast as host Jeremiah Byron talks to Joe, who shares his mysterious experiences in the woods of Western Pennsylvania and Central Oregon. During his childhood in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, Joe encountered a strange creature resembling a large, hair-covered animal with a pronounced snout. Later, after moving to Oregon, he experienced odd sounds in the forests around Fort Rock and witnessed a strange orb of light near Davis Lake. These eerie encounters left Joe questioning the world around him and are discussed in detail, providing a compelling glimpse into the enigmatic phenomena lurking within Oregon's wilderness.Share your Bigfoot encounter with me here: [e-mail] to call in and leave a voicemail of your encounters for the podcast - Check this out here - https://www.speakpipe.com/bigfootsociety(Use multiple voice mails if needed!)🔴 Subscribe to hear more Bigfoot encounters: https://www.youtube.com/@BigfootSociety?sub_confirmation=1Share this video with a friend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5v75Od-X38Watch more episodes of the Bigfoot Society podcast here – https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3t1vwtsKh-MGeHs0XglFJE5LwUHpmJm_&feature=sharedRecommended Playlist – New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3t1vwtsKh-Mk4032IyZtWgP6LVPU8uat✅ Help me help others share their Bigfoot Encounter by joining the community on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/thebigfootsociety✅ Hear ad-free episodes early by joining the community on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Qq45W6iaTU8FE9kelxT7Q/joinLet’s connect:Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/bigfootsociety/Twitter – https://twitter.com/bigfoot_societyTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@bigfoot.societyAffiliate links mean I earn a commission from qualifying purchases.

Joe's an individual who reached out to me from Central Oregon. He's got some really interesting things that have happened along the years that he'll be sharing.

But Joe, it's a pleasure to have you on the show. How's it going, man? It's going pretty good. Thanks for having me on. Absolutely. You were just telling me before the show started that this is probably one of the really first times that you've shared,

what you've experienced over the years, and this takes place among different states. But I'm going to go ahead and pass things right over to you and just feel free to take us back to where we need to be for that first encounter that you had in your life. Yeah. So I grew up in Western Pennsylvania. It's Beaver County.

It's just a small, you know, a lot of farms. I grew up hunting, trapping, stuff like that. But yeah, my mom was just. driving us home. It was just my mother and me and I was in the passenger rear seat of the car. And just I always, I always look out the window and I enjoy nature. And we were just driving down an old, old road, country road. And I, there was kind of like a power line. So the power line and there's two there's two wood lines and the power line in between the power line it was kept kept up with you know the farmer cut the grass and stuff so it was like short but anyway

I was just looking out the window and all of a sudden I caught it caught a glimpse of something running on all fours and the only thing that I could think of like right up right off the top of my head was like a rhino because the thing was giant it was gray and it had long hair but it was it was on all fours when it was running and it only took maybe four or five i don't know if you want to call them calyx or whatever but to make it to the other woodline but i remember seeing the face and it wasn't quite like, you know, you'd see like a typical Sasquatch or, you know, like a dog man or, you know, what you hear, you know, they have the pointed snouts. It did have like a pronounced snout and no, it didn't have any hair, you know, on its face, but, you know, all around it. But that was,

that was my first time ever seeing something. I had no clue what it was because, I mean, you know, I've been to the Pittsburgh Zoo and I grew up around cattle farms. I hunted. I trapped. I knew all the animals that were around us. And I just, I couldn't explain it. I couldn't explain it.

And like it wasn't making any sense. And like I was telling you earlier, I don't know why I didn't even say anything to my mom. I was, I don't know, like, I didn't say anything until, I don't know, 12 years, probably 12 years ago to a lady that I worked with. I just felt comfortable because she was, you know, kind of, I lost my mom a long time ago, but she was kind of like, you know, my mom's age. and I kind of opened up to her and told her what I had saw that day. And it's very weird. Do you mind if I ask a few questions about that first sighting you had? Sure, yes, yes.

Did you see the ears at all for what you said? I didn't see any, no. The only thing that stood out to me was, well, there were a few things. it was huge. The hair was like, you know, like a light gray and it was long

and then the face it was it was kind of reminded me like like, you know, like an albino gorilla. That's what, you know,

it, but the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

the mouth was kind of, you know, protruding. It was, it was, It wasn't real long. Like you hear people with Dogman and stuff like that, but it was definitely not like, you know, Patty or anything like that.

Oh, yeah, and I've never, I never grew up watching anything like that until maybe the Harry and the Henderson's came out. You know, that's the only time like I ever saw, you know, quote unquote, Bigfoot, you know, what it's supposed to look like. you know we didn't have we had a black and white tv grown up you know there's no internet nothing like that so it was it just baffled me for years I mean it it wasn't like a you know a bad dream you know

like I was thinking about it all the time it was you know when when it came up you know I just I'm still trying to wrap my head around it it's a really really unique I mean I haven't gotten any reports even even close to the way it was acting or the way it looked were all the legs the same length from what you saw from what i saw the the back the back you know the back two or slightly longer but not much you know we we have bears in pennsylvania too but this

This wasn't this was not a bear 100%. It took a second or two. You know, and this clearing is, you know, I know our tree hunt and all that stuff. So, you know, I was 10 at the time, but I still knew distance and all that stuff. I grew, you know, I grew up pretty fast at a young age. And I would say it would be no more than 80 yards in between tree line. But like I said, it, it, maybe four or five and it was into the next tree line and gone this country roads you're not

doing 55 60 you're doing 25 30 so you know it's not like we're flying past it like i had time to like i saw it and i don't know why i to this day i wish my mom was alive because like i don't know why i didn't say anything to her i didn't say anything to my dad nobody it just kind of I kept it to myself have you ever seen anything in drawing form or anything that maybe like of a big foe or even of prehistoric animals that even looked similar to what you saw that day I don't do a whole lot of research you know I listen to this show and I listen to a couple other podcast and stuff like that but

I really don't, I really haven't dug in and really tried to figure out, you know, what it's, what it is or what it was. And, you know, high school and all that stuff throughout my, my years, I never really dug in and did any type of research to figure out what it was. You know, like I said, I didn't open up until, you know, 12 years ago to, you know, just to, you know, kind of let it out. Not that it, not that it like bothers me. It's just weird. It's, it's very unique. It'd be interesting to see if anyone listening has similar sightings of something around the Beaver County, Pennsylvania area, right? Yeah. There's a lot, well, there was, you know, I haven't been back home in a while, but there's, I mean, there was woods for miles, you know.

It's pretty thick. You know, you got some dark wooded areas. And, you know, some of the places that I hunted back home, yeah, I always had like a, I was never, never afraid of the dark or anything like that. But getting in those dark, dark, thick woods, I've had a couple, you know, feelings, like, maybe I should just leave, you know, and which I did, you know, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I could think that, you know, a big foot or anything was out to get me. I just didn't feel right, you know, it just felt uneasy.

This sighting, this, was it around the early 90s, right? Yeah, it would have been, yeah, because I'm 44 now. So, yeah, it was, it was our early, early 90s. In growing up in the Western Pennsylvania area, did you have any other things happen out there that are out of the ordinary, or was it when you moved to Oregon, the other things start happening? So the one thing that I, so back home, you can spot light deer. You can spot for deer and stuff like that a day before rifle season. And me and my buddy, Bill, we would, we would go out

and just spotlight a few of the fields and, you know, just check things out. And the one, it could have been a bear, but I don't know how their eyes shine. I know deer They know deer they shine You know a certain color cats You know etc etc But like this thing We called it bow winkle

Because whatever it was It was huge and it was like red eyes But it was you know It was only red with the light on it You know it wasn't like glowing When we took the light off But it was something big in the back Field

But other than that Nothing until I moved to Oregon. Oregon, that was pretty crazy. Actually, I contacted him before, before, you know, I came on under the show. One of my buddies, old co-worker, you know, showing me his hunting spot over by the Fort Rock area.

And I was archery hunting. And, you know, as a hunter, you know, I like to be in the woods an hour, two hours before daybreak. And we drove out there. It was dark. We're walking. And we're walking to a gazeler.

And it was, it was a deep guttural how like a wolf. And there are some wolves around here. There's a pack in sisters and lapine and stuff like that. But following that, it sounded like a bunch of just, you know, kind of higher pitch coyote sounds and it lasted gosh it felt like it lasted forever but it probably lasted five

eight minutes and we kind of just stopped I had a can of bear spray which would have been useless it would have just been seasoning for us but I had my bow and my buddy Brandon he didn't have anything

he was just along for the ride and it just stopped all sudden so I was not going to go over there and investigate anything we just relined it to the to the guzzler and just set up and day daylight came and it was just a weird it's just a weird feeling it was it was on flat flat ground like all around us you know a lot of the ranchers their cows would be out there but you know didn't see any of them but it was just the eerie silence and I don't know it almost sounded like a big boulder hitting a like a ponderosa tree but we were on like level ground so it didn't make any sense it wasn't a tree snapping

it wasn't you know it wasn't like a if it was a tree rolling down the hill and hitting another one I don't know what pushed it but it just it was loud big for We'll be right back after these messages. It always happens right before the whistle. There's a little voice that says, what if I mess up? What if I'm not ready? I see a whole highlight reel of everything I don't want to happen.

Missed shots, turnovers, letting my team down. And for a second, there's doubt. But then, I realize I've done enough to be where I'm at. The early mornings, the extra reps, the days I wanted to quit and didn't. So, I smile. Self-doubt is natural, but my smile is a reminder that I'm resilient.

Folks knew the Colonel approved of his new honey chili crisp and jalapeno ranch sauces, the moment he tasted them and said, That's right. No notes. Just absolute silence. Turns out some flavors don't need explaining. They just need dipping. It's saucy season at KFC.

With new honey, chili crisp and jalapena ranch, get dipping with a boneless bucket today. Prices in participation vary. It was a loud thug, and but there was no sounds. like there was no birds. There was no, it was like no life. But when that happened, we kind of looked at each other and I was just like, in just mouth like, what was that?

And he just shrugged his shoulders like, you know, he didn't know. And we stayed there for another hour or so and nothing else happened. But I wanted to see, because like the road that we came in on at the Forest Road, I wanted to check to see if there was any other hunters or anybody, back there because it was a dead end. And it's mostly Manzanita once you get further back in. And there's no trails going off to the left or right, not even for a quad. You know, maybe game trail.

That's the widest, widest trail, you know, you'd see going down to that dead end. And there was absolutely no one back there. and it just that was another another one it just didn't make any sense made me feel uneasy it was just weird and i had mentioned it to one of my buddies he's he's one of those guys like you know if it's not in front of them he doesn't he doesn't really he doesn't believe it you know it has to be black and white and I had mentioned that experience with him and it was weird because he's like minus all the sounds and stuff like that

but he was hunting company Butte a week later and as a crow flies from where I was and where he was I would say it would be like seven, eight miles maybe a little bit more but in the same area He experienced that big thud on a tree and silence. And he thought that was quite weird as well. And this dude, he was a Marsok Marine Raider back in early 2000s, you know, and he couldn't explain it.

It was weird to him. I don't know what he think, you know, I don't know what his thoughts are on it. I never really got into, you know, a huge discussion about it. You know, he just kind of said, you know, I experienced this. It was weird. He packed up and actually got out of there. Wow, that's extremely interesting. That area is weird, too.

I've heard some things about the area. It's in the same area as something called hole in the ground. hole on the ground yeah if you're familiar with that i'm not like i've heard about it i really haven't really dug into it it's it's pretty cool i haven't been there but it's a large like a volcanic explosion crater you can drive into it's massive in that area there's you know there's some big trees but there's a lot of a lot of lodge pool and it's super thick in in that certain area where he was hunting because i've hunted it as well as well as a lot of large pool and it's area where he was hunting because I've hunted it as well. But again, it's just weird back

there. It's just a weird feeling. Even driving in my truck going down there, it's like, it's almost uneasy. It's in people I think need to understand where when you hear Oregon, You think of like lush woods being way out. This is more in the desert area, correct? Mm-hmm. This high desert. Yep. It's almost on the boundary.

It's close to like the part where the, I don't know. It doesn't feel like it's too far into the desert, but maybe the map is deceiving, but it doesn't look like it's that far away from, forested area. Yeah. Right. Yeah. I mean, to the east of us, we have the badlands. But like, you know, here in town, you know, I'm in Bend. You know, there's, we have all the high lakes and stuff like that.

And they're, they're all mostly wooded and there's woods around there. I do a lot of mushroom picking and stuff like that. And there's still a good amount of woods, but, you know, you kind of go out a little bit. And then you've got more manzanita than trees. You go out further than it's like it's desert. It's sagebrush and moon dust, we call it. It would be interesting to talk to people in that area to see if that's a thing that's normally experienced, that sound that you described. Yeah, it was weird.

And I actually did look into it because, like, the sound because that first one was so deep that I've heard wolves howling and it'll raise my raises your hairs on your arms but the other high-pitched ones they sounded like coyotes so I started getting into it like are or are their wolf coyote hybrids you know why is you know why I was one wolf hanging out with a bunch of coyote. I was just getting into a little bit of research on that because it just didn't make sense to me. But that was that experience over that way. But same person that I told the story to and he was on Company Butte, my buddy, we went to Davis.

It's called Davis Lake. And it's fly fishing only. But we went there just to camp out. And it was just a day trip or night trip overnight. And we were sitting around the fire. And actually, I just brought this up to him last week to remind them. But we're sitting there and we have a decent view of the lake. If anybody knows where Davis Lake is, if you're coming in from the Lepine and you're headed towards like, you know, Crescent Lake or whatever.

You know, you're still on the scenic highway. Davis Lake will be to your right. And if you make the first right, there's a couple camp spots right there. And it's next to like a lava field. Well, you can see the lake. And it's dark out. I don't know, maybe 10, 10 o'clock at night, just around the campfire. And we saw a, when we first thought it was a boat and then rolled that out,

and then, you know, maybe a headlamp. Well, it was a light blue orb, a light, but it was coming from, like, the middle of the lake, but it wasn't going up and down like somebody walking or somebody in a boat. It was steady the whole way. And then it hit shoreline, just guessing, because it's, you know, got trees there and then it kind of disappeared maybe, you know, 10 feet from the lake into the tree line. And, you know, we were just like, what was that? You know, it was just interesting. But that night, I had a three-quarter tonne suburban and, you know, I was just camping in the back

of it with my dog. And at night, I had such a vivid... dream, but the dream literally had everything that was around me, like all the trees, the little road coming in, the fire pit. It was everything, but there was, it was like, it was like five Sasquatch, you know, kind of like the normal looking Sasquatch, but they were like, it looked like they were, They were staggered, so it looked like they were kind of like hunting or whatever. This is in my dream. And they, one of them walked up to my truck, like, this is, my dream was like, I was a fly in the air watching this down.

And it looked into my, my suburban in at me. And that's when I woke up. but it was so real to me in my dream or whatever it was because it had like the rocks that you know there was a couple big boulders everything was in that dream so i don't know if that blue orb correlated with what i had dreamt but it was it kind of well it didn't kind of it messed me up for a few days or a week just trying to figure out what you know was that real or you know it was just it was different did did the saskwash that you saw in that dream did they have ask it is a weird question did they have any certain type of hairstyle so they and they were all a

they were all like not a dark brown but kind of like a light brown they were all the same color the sizes varied there was a couple there was two smaller ones and then the other ones were if I had to guess maybe

I don't know eight nine feet and heights they were walking on two you know their legs but it was like it was like they were hunting because they were moving slow and they thought it was and they were

kind of like dispersed from each other they're like you know maybe 10 12 15 feet away from each other and they're kind of walking in the same direction kind of like you know if you had you know military force out you know coming into a target wow that's that's very interesting it was weird and I and again like I didn't I didn't think oh blue orb you know big foot you know that was not in my head when I went to bed that night I've heard multiple stories with you know that orb going into you know maybe seeing a sask watch or something like that but yeah that that was that was pretty wild do you remember anything particularly about like what the top

tops of the head looked like the tops of the head it was your your basic description you know it was kind of coned out not super pointy but and then the face the face was a little lighter brown than the hair but your typical Sasquatch look I didn't look like anything

didn't look like what I saw when I was a kid this one looked like they all look like you know Patty but they were like a light brown not a dark

but just a light brown but the nose the wide nose the wide the big mouth hair all around it you know no hair on the face that the hair on the top of the head was it arranged in any certain way it just seemed like they were all kind of not not like real napped up but you know it wasn't like freshly brushed or anything like that you know it was and it wasn't like super long if i'd guess maybe like i don't know eight inches long but, you know, they didn't get just, they didn't see a hairstylist beforehand.

So you're saying the hair on top of the head was around eight inches long? Yeah, yeah. And like, it wasn't like, you know, like they brushed it or anything like that. Not like dreadlocked or not, you know, nothing like that, but it wasn't like, you know, perfectly flowing, I guess. Okay. That's really interesting. Sorry, there's a question I was trying to ask you, but if I asked this, it would lead you. I kind of led you, but I'll just come out with it.

So I've talked to individuals more west of that area, kind of by Waldo Lake Wilderness and Spirit Lake. I've actually talked to individuals where they've been chased out of the Spirit Lake area by Sasquatch that looked like they had dreadlocks. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

if you go to, if you're from Davis Lake, If you're at Davis Lake, like, Waldo Lake isn't very far. It's not far at all, actually. Because if you keep going down that road and you make a right, you go past, you'll go past Crescent Lake, O'Dell, and then off to the right, you'll have Waldo. So, I mean, and that's, I believe that's all woods in between. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I mean, it definitely looks like it's all woods. Is that an area where you've ever gone out to and explored before? I've been to Waldo Lake. Actually, I found my first bare-tooth mushroom. So if you pass the Waldo Lake and then you make a right and you kind of go up up the mountain and there was like there used to be a cabin there. A few years ago, a fire went through there. So I'm sure it's gone. That fire went all the way to the back of Colters Lake. But I have been back in there. Like I said, there was like a little cabin. I think it was like for snowmobillers or skiers or cross-country people to kind of maybe get shelter.

But I have been back in there. Very cool. I never experienced anything. You know, I was, you know, exploring and, you know, mushroom hunting. And I have a lot of miles in these woods without. You know, I haven't, I haven't experienced anything since Davis Lake. Gotcha. I always, I'll get on easy feelings when I'm like in some of the, my, because I go

morel hunting and some of those areas, it's, it's in there. I go where people don't want to go. But there are sometimes, and I visit this place year after year after year. And sometimes I'll just, I'll get a feeling like I shouldn't be there. At Davis? But I have, no, this is, this is actually give away my spot. It's like on Black Butte. So that's like in the sisters area.

I mean, I'll cut it out. I don't want your mushroom spot to. Oh, no, no. Everybody, I'm not the only one out there. I go a little bit further than everybody else. In Iowa. Yeah, mushroom. We get into the Morels out here in Iowa, too, and you're very protective of your Morales spot.

Exactly. You don't even want to share it to your best friend, you know? Yeah. Now, I'm out there by myself 99% of the time. You know, I actually leave my dog at home when I hit those spots because I just, you know, something happens to me. I would feel horrible. You know, she was kind of, you know, out there, out there by herself. I don't know.

I'm a dog person. Have you ever experienced, like, being out there looking for mushrooms, and everything just gets extremely quiet? Quiet. Yeah. Yep. And that's, those are the experiences that I'll get every once in a while, and it's like, it's something in me is like, okay, you need to pack up and go.

And I do. but then I can return a day or two later or, you know, four days. I know I typically hit those spots every four days, four to five days because, you know, if you morale hunt, you know, if you got a spot, you pick, you normally hit it again, you know, three, four, five days after and you'll get more, you know, and I'll come back and then everything seems fine. All the birds are chirping and, you know, the deal. deer there, you know, every once in a while I'll run across.

I mean, he has to be a big bore in the area that I pick at because his piles of crap are huge. And his prints are like one and a half times my hand. And I've scared him out. He went crashing through the Manzanito. But yeah, I definitely get those feelings, but I have not seen or. heard, you know, tree knocks or any type of noises. I just get this just a feeling like I need to leave and I do. I experienced that for the first time because I've I've hiked plenty in New England. I grew up out there, but then the first time I experienced the woods getting extremely quiet to the point where it was almost depressively quiet and you couldn't hear yourself think. And you're like, it feels wrong for it to be so quiet right now.

It's very weird to describe unless you experience it. It is. I have like tendonitis or whatever it's called. I can hear my ears ringing. It's so quiet. It's weird. I was going to say the first time I experienced that was out in the woods outside of Oak Ridge, which is just further west than Waldo.

It's weird. Yeah, I've I heard it. There was a few, I think there was a lady on there talking about Oak Ridge, and I haven't really explored in that area as far as like mushroom picking or anything like that. But I've driven through Oak Ridge. I don't know how many times. But I don't know her name. I can't remember the episode or anything like that. But it's interesting, you know, the Oak Ridge sighting for, I think there was.

a couple of them. There's, I'll tell you, there's multiple, and there are multiple that are not public that is just me talking to people on like Facebook Messenger. Right. And those are the wild ones. I can imagine. So if you count for mushrooms out there, just, I'd be careful. Yeah, yeah.

I don't know. I don't ever, there's people out there that want to see them. After seeing that one, when I was a kid, whatever it was, I know it wasn't any animal that's alive on this earth. You know, like what I've seen. I don't want to ever see one in the woods. There's just something that I don't want to see. You hear stories, you know, about, you know, good ones

and not so good ones. And it's like, I don't know. With my luck, I'm going to run across the one that has, you know, the bad day or something like that. That's why, like I said, that's why I, when I go to those areas on Black Butte, I leave my dog at home. Because I've had those super quiet, you know, it gets super quiet where I can hear my ears ringing and, get that feeling like I should not be there and I pack up and go. You know, I, but I don't know. I know I'd probably be frozen just in, and terror.

And I don't know if that's because of, you know, the first one I saw when I was 10, 11 years old, just seeing how big it was, like, It was huge. Granted, I was 10, but I grew up around cattle farms. They're a big animal as well, but this thing was, this thing was huge. I'm not anywhere close to their size, at least the one that I had saw. People will usually say something to the effect of, like, it makes you re-evaluate your place and everything.

I think, yeah. Because I've ran it through my head. What if I did see one? And I think I'd be paralyzed just in fear. And I'm sure everything would be running through my head. It just makes you wonder, especially you get out in that area. There's so much weirdness out there in Oregon. And I think you could live a whole lifetime out there.

and not really go in too many areas and still experience a lifetime of weirdness. It's just, it's a really special place. It's wild, yeah. And my old boss, he was telling me when he was, he was around my age whenever I saw my first one, he was over by Tumalo Falls. So this is probably in the 60s, mid-60s. and he saw one up by Tumolo Falls. And, you know, he pretty much had this, you know, he was just like it was, it was huge.

And it was kind of crouched down looking at him and his family. But I think there was a couple sightings over in that area. I don't know about now. I mean, I know Shevlin Park. That's pretty close. I heard there, you know, there was a couple of sightings there as well. But, yeah, Oregon is definitely, it's a cool, it's a cool place. I love it here, but there's some weirdness going on, not only in Portland.

Right, yeah. That's kind of like, that's the normal weirdness. If you want the real weirdness, you got to get out outside of there and you just go out in the National Forest. Be careful, though.
