You're listening to Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. Tonight's story is from a man who spent decades living on the edge of eastern Maryland's forgotten forest long before the internet ever whispered the word Bigfoot.

But in the pine thickets of Pocomoke, the dump sites of chicken farms and the foggy curves of Meadow Bridge Road, something was already watching, and it growled and screamed and reached for him. So a lifetime of first-hand encounters from a man who never went looking for Bigfoot, but found him anyways. This is the story of Alan and the road he'll never forget. So stay with us. All right, Bigfoot Society. We've got the privilege of talking to Alan today. Alan is an individual who's an outdoorsman and a hunter,

and he's experienced some really interesting things over the years in Maryland and Kansas. So we've got a lot of interesting ground to cover today, but welcome to the show, Alan. How's it going? It's going well, Jeremiah. Thank you for having me. Absolutely. You know, I'm excited to talk to you today. This is an area.

It's Eastern Maryland, which has come up a few times on the show already, but this is a part of Eastern Maryland that has not come up. So this is a brand new territory for us on the show. But Alan, I want to make sure that you have the time to share what you've experienced. So feel free to take us back as far back as needs to go to when you started experiencing some of these situations. Okay, thank you. It started back mid-60s, like 66, 67, when I was 10 years old. old. And before I really get into it, I want to kind of give your listeners a background from the

lower eastern shore on the eastern shore of Maryland. They call it the Delmarva Peninsula. A lot, especially back then, a lot of forested areas. My stomping grounds, I was living in a place called West Post Office, and we had a huge tracts of timber that butted up to what they call the Pocomoke State Forest, which is a, about 18,000 acres of trees, hardwoods and pine trees. ES Adkins had some stuff, J.I. Wells. They were all timber companies that also had huge tracts of timber that abutted the Pocomac State Forest. And the fire rose through there.

That's where my cousins and I, that was our stomping grounds. We had ponies. We'd ride through there, did a lot of that stuff. And then once we got rid of that, I had a dirt bike. and another neighbor friend of mine, we would go riding back through there with dirt bike. So not too much of that whole area that we did not explore as kids. And in that area, it was not unusual for us to pack a lunch, leave in the morning. They'd not come back home until nightfall because that's just how it was back then.

So getting into the first encounter, if you will, like I say, it was in 66 or 67. I was 10 or 11 years old, somewhere in there. And my cousin and I, my younger cousin, Tim and I, were riding ponies back in a forest of GI Wells. We were about a quarter of a mile back in the forest and riding on one of the forest roads, the fire roads. And it was a sandy-type road, and it was the type of sand that it was weight on top. but if you scratched it, you would see the darker layer underneath. And we'd gone back there and we came upon scratches in that room. And they were scratches about maybe four feet long,

about four and a half to five inches apart, like three of them. And you could see scratch marks and say they would overlap, like something had come down there and done it. And no other footprints around nothing. And at first we were thinking maybe it was a hawk it came down, but the way the scratcher were far apart, that didn't make any sense to us. So we were actually just sitting on the ponies, just kind of discussing what these things were looking at. I'm trying to figure it out, you know, kids. And the ponies were nervous.

I mean, normally they would be fine. They just sit there, you know, because like they rode these things all the time. but this day they were just kind of antsy and after about five minutes or so looking at these things there was just growl it came from I'm like 30 35 feet in the brush

away from us and you know we're like perked up and then the bushes just started you know shaking violently and we didn't have I mean we don't have bear on the Eastern sure at the time we didn't have coyotes there was nothing really there um and that we could attribute that but that's the ponies were like we've had enough they took off we didn't try

and stop them because it scared the crap out of us to so went on home so that was kind of the first oddity that we encountered and then if we flash forward to like 1969 i would have been about 13 years old by that time we sold the ponies i had a dirt bite and back then there was it's a big chicken integrator on the eastern shore Maryland Purdue farms and they had in the pokemoat forest there was like a

I don't know the egg production it was an experimental poultry farm that they wanted to get back out away from any other chicken houses i mean to maintain cleanliness and all that kind of thing in what they were doing for the research. And there was a local hatchery in the town of Princess Anne, which was the nearest town where I lived, called Gouldingooch hatchery.

Well, back in this forest, and back in the time there, if people had dead chickens that they picked up out of the poultry house, they would just have open pits, and they would just throw the birds out in these open pits at the time, and turkey buzzards would come in and eat them, and, you know, anything of raccoons would sometimes go in there. So that was not unusual.

And there was a dump like that back in the forest where Wittengudge used to dump the old eggs there and then Purdue farms. They had this open dump back there. And there were creatures seen. A matter of fact, it made quite a stir in town at the time. And they called them the egg people. And like I said, going on. in 69, well, I was 13 and heard all this.

Well, me and buddy in mind, we got our dirt bikes and rode through there because we knew exactly where the place was back in that forest. We rode back. We didn't see any of the egg people, but around the perimeter where it was like coming out of the swampy woods, you know, the woods itself, we did find footprints. And the footprint, it was like 16, 17, 17 inch long. looked like a human footprint, just larger, and then we found a couple of smaller ones that maybe 13 inch, something like that in the area.

And at the time, being that, oh, we didn't know what Bigfoot was. I mean, nothing like that. It was just weird. And we kind of thought, okay, maybe it's just weird people out here, who knows. but I do know that there was a flap going on in town at that time, and a number of people went out and supposedly saw these things would go out there at night and see them in the light of their cars he pulled up and all that. I was there during the day, and so I didn't get to see anything there. Alan, real quick. Sorry, do you remember anything about how people were describing the egg people?

it was there is two different ones some of the eight people they described them as you know beings coming up with like wady-ish-looking egg-shaped heads which i'm assuming is would account for the sagittal crest you know on these things but then a lot of them also described bigfoot looking like creatures you know tall hairy humanoid like individuals but the local term just when they said aid people because of the egg dump, that's what kind of stuck. That's the moniker that everybody used in the area was the egg people. Okay, that makes sense. And then when you had these pits of dead chickens, approximately how many dead chickens were being thrown out there? Are we talking like hundreds or just a few? Oh, yeah, it could be hundreds. Some of these poultry houses, and I don't know if you or your listeners are familiar with how they grow chickens poultry houses, but some of these poultry houses would contain anywhere from 20 to 25,000, you know, 20,000 to 25,000 chickens.

So it was not unusual to come up with anywhere from maybe 10 to 15 dead chickens a day during an eight-week period that they would dump in these pits. And some of these farms had multiple poultry houses, like this. So yeah, I mean, it could be dead chickens in the hundreds. Okay. We got downwind to one of these things on in July and August day, you definitely knew that, you know, something was there going on. But yeah, that's any more. I think they use incinerators and they just burn them down. They don't have the open pits anymore as far as they understand now.

Okay. Thank you. Feel free to continue. Okay. back up into like the next year in the 1970s and this is just anecdotal but I was like 14 years old and there is a place down in Somerset County the lower part of Somerset County called Chrisfield it's a little town on you know the river I want to say it's the Adam Essex River down there and there is a place that a big foot was supposedly seen, and the area, which I find interesting, the area was ape's hole creek,

right off of ape's hole road down in Christfield. And it's just, that's just like, you know, ape mountain that you see and all that. I just wonder where the ape's hole name came from, but there have been Bigfoot sightings down on H. Hole Creek in Somerset County down there. That's another thing that just kind of went forward that I heard about growing up. I lived in an area called West Post Office, and the reason it was four miles outside of Princess Inn, and there was a man named West that had a post office out there, hence the name.

So it was West Post Office Road, which was the road that I lived on when I grew up and when I first got married. In 1974, which was also the year I graduated from high school, there was supposedly a Bigfoot sighting on West Post Office Road that was like a road crossing back in that area. which I found interesting because, again, that was my stomping ground. That's where we went all the time. And then again, in 1976, there was another siding out there in West Post Office, a similar type thing. Now, in 1976, my parents had a convenience store on Route 13 right outside the town of Princess Ann on the highway. And I had gone in there one Saturday morning.

I worked for my parents at the time in that store. And I had gone in and opened the store. I'd gone in early. Open the store. My mom and dad came to relieve me just, you know, like 9.45, something like that. I went home and got home shortly just a little bit after 10 a.m. at my parents' place that's where I was living

got out of the car and at the time this would have been like late August last week of all the first week of September I remember because the Maryland State Fair was going on up in

Timonium and all our neighbors had kids with dairy cattle and pigs and that kind of stuff they were all showing them there was no one at home in that in our neighborhood at the time. When I got out there in that little community we had,

I was alone. There were nobody else was around because most all of were up at the state fair up and to Mone. Well, I got out of my car in the driveway, and I heard this moaning coming from the woods, about a half mile would have been to the west of us. And I had never heard anything like that before. And like I say, we didn't have coyotes there.

We had owls. I mean, I've heard a screech owl or hoot owls. You know, it was nothing like that. And it was, I mean, dogs howling sometimes, but it didn't even sound like a dog's howl. And it was undulating. It would go up and down. And not like, ooh, oh, ooh.

I'm not doing it justice. one of the closest things I've heard is if you've ever heard the Ohio that's online it was very similar to that there was another and I cannot remember

where it was but I heard on another Bigfoot program like almost a year ago some recordings and one of those recordings sounded identical and I cannot for the late for me find that again

But it was like I told my wife at the time, my first wife was passed away and I got remarried a year ago. I told her that that's exactly, that's what I heard, that moaning, you know, roar like thing. So that I sat out on our front steps, on our front porch, and I listened. And what got me was you would think something would, you know, oh, and you. you would hear the breath intake and then it would start again. This was continuous. It never, it never stopped. It was just to the point, okay, well, maybe it's a recording or something, you know.

But it was coming from the woods, a half mile to the west of me. Let's go, girls. You know what I love about, Andy? Everything. Well, yeah, but it's as little as 20 bucks a month. Ooh, well, the little pink pill has always been a pretty big deal. A really big deal. I'd call that a good investment.

Work can always wait. And 99% of people over 50 already have the virus that causes shing. 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. It said everything happens for a reason, but maybe everything happens for a reases. Take noise-canceling headphones. Do they block hearing to heightened taste? Hmm.

That sound seems to show. Everything happens for a recess. So after about an hour of listening to it, I've got to see what this is. So I started walking down the road. I walked down to our next door neighbor's house, which was a half mile away. They had two huge brick pillars on either side of their driveway. So I walked down there, was kind of standing on the road, in between where there's two pillars were for their driveway,

looking to the south to the woods line. And the woods was about maybe 80 yards from the road is where that little piece of woods jutted out. And it was coming from that direction. So I'm looking, trying to see what's there. And almost as soon as I stopped and looked at the woods and trying to figure out what was what, the moaning stopped.

So I'm like, okay, that's just, I keep looking. And about, I don't know, maybe 45, 50 yards back in the woods, there was a couple of maple trees that were, I'm going to say, meaning 40 feet tall, something like that, you know, slim maples coming up, all of a sudden just started violently shaking. I mean, back and forth, shaking. There was no wind that day. day, but shaking so hard back there, I could hear the leaves going, whoosh, roosh, as they were

going through the air. You're just crazy shaking. I mean, something had to be incredibly strong to just, you know, shaking it, and there was enough underbrush. I could not see what was doing it. And as then the shaking, it went, and it stopped, and all of a sudden I hear this roaring scream. I mean, the intensity was crazy. I know it's a cliche, like, oh, I felt it in my chest, but I felt it him. I mean, it's like that thing just went through you and just vibrated this.

I have never heard anything to volume and just like, he started up and then ended up, you know, roar and ended up in his high-pitched scream when it stopped. And then the trees started. started going crazy again. Well, I'm a half mile from home staying here, nobody around. You know, it freaked me out. So I took all, I started running home.

I ran about 20 yards and then realized, okay, I don't want to turn my back. So I kind of went there, and then I kind of crab walked as fast as I could keep in my eye to make sure nothing was following me, got back home. I mean, I was shaking. I sat on the front porch again, and And then as soon as I got maybe 50 yards away, the trees dropped shaking. And then that moaning started again.

And it continued until just about 2 o'clock or so when my mom came home from the store that afternoon. She got out of the car. I'm sitting on the front steps. She gets out of the car standing there before she shut the car door. She stopped and she turned and looked down towards the wood. down there, looked back at me, she said, what in the world is that noise? I don't know, but it's been going on ever since I got home at 10. I don't know when it started before that. So I outlined everything for. She stayed out there and listened to it for another five minutes

and then shrugged and went inside. And then about 15 minutes later, it stopped. Never heard it again in my life. I had never heard it before that, never heard it after that. Just bizarre, but whatever it was, I mean, that was spooky for not seeing anything. Again, what can shape trees like that? And I'm figuring, okay, it can't be a recording because it quit, did other things, and then started again. So I don't know. That was just bizarre to me. That's really intense. Would any of your neighbors share things like that that they experienced as well, or do you think it was a one-off situation for the area?

I know because I lived there until 96 when I moved out here to Kansas. And again, there was nobody there. And my wife, my wife, my mom and dad unfortunately have passed away. so my mom can't attribute it to it. But, I mean, it's never happened since until I know of. I don't know. I know that some of the neighbors that were there, well, I mean, that's been some time ago, are gone now.

I know that I'm going to talk about my neighbors that lived across the road. I think he has since passed away. So I don't know of anybody that, you know, could corroborate that right now. Because like I say, when I got home, I was the only one there until my mom showed up. And then once it stopped, I never did hear that again. That kind of thing.

So I don't know. I mean, it's something you could check. If I get back to Maryland, I may just kind of go back there and talk to them. But I don't know. I don't know what to tell you on that one, Jeremiah. But back, again, in that same neighborhood, because that was in, like I say, 76,

and nothing really happened, you know, until, again, like 1981. So, like five years later, I had gotten married, built a house right next door to my mom and dad's place. just to the west of them. And they deeded me some land on there. And my wife and I was a summer evening. I want to say it was in July. It was hot.

And my wife and I were just a beautiful night, though, went out, we're sitting on the front steps of her house. There was about 11 p.m. I want to say it was like a Friday night. And we hear a crick. from us into woods directly to the south, and John had a poultry house. There was a big field, poultry house,

and then kind of woods beyond that. And we heard from the woods, which the woods from us would have been not a half mile away, I guess, something like that, back to the south. screaming coming and it sounded like a woman being murdered I mean just chilling screams

and you would hear it in one area and then you would hear you know off to the woods off to like the east and another way we ended up kind of piecing together whatever was doing it it was coming from three different areas back in there something you know was screaming something else to scream and so forth.

And I mean, the only way I can describe it, it sounded like a woman scream that was being murdered. I'm just very loud. Again, it was a half mile away, but it sounded like it was like 10 feet in front. It was just, again, the volume was incredible on what that was. And it went on, that screaming went off for like a couple of hours. I mean, we sat outside and listened to it.

It went off for a couple hours. And then it finally stopped. And my wife, at the time she was from Princess Anne, she asked me, she was, what in the world was that? I don't know. I've lived here my entire life. I've never heard anything like that before, you know, screaming like that. So about a couple weeks later, it started, again, about the same time at night, we got out there and started here and started hearing that. thing again going off it didn't last as long this time and I want to say this is like a

Saturday night or something when we heard it again but the same thing sounded like a woman being murdered you know back in there well I went over that the people that used to live there had retired the farm sold it and sold it to this other guy that was from city and I went over and was talking to us and said, do you have any idea what the next morning? And asked him, do you have any idea what in the world that was?

And he's like, oh, I think it's birds mating. Like, okay, I've never heard mating birds at night before, number one. And number two, I've lived here all my life. I've never heard that before. If it was birds or something, I'm sure I would have heard that, but I didn't.

That's just, it sounds bizarre. And then he was telling me that he goes, yeah, well, it's weird. And I said, well, have you noticed anything else weird going on? And he goes, well, yeah, there's some stuff. So I walked back. He had in the back part of his farm, by a back field by woods, there was like a livestock pond that was, in the southwest corner of the property,

there was only about 20 feet or so from the woodland. And we walked back and he goes, yeah, I found this the other day. And it was like a button buck deer corpse, you know, laying out there. And it was like the front left four quarter was ripped off of the things. So it only had three legs, something ripped off. And the neck was broken. And he's like, yeah, I think.

think this must have been hit by a car. Like, okay, you're a half mile from the road back here. I can't imagine a buck getting this far on three legs with a broken neck. That doesn't make sense. And it was laying right down there by this pond. The other thing that was unusual about it was no buzzards had hit it. And where we are again, they would put the dead

chicken. I mean, we had buzzards everywhere feeding on the carrying of these chickens and so forth. He had a pit, you know, he had that stuff too. And that thing, he said, yeah, I found this like a week ago, and no but nothing else he'd gone there

to scavenge on it, which I found odd. And then he was telling me that we had this Minokan watershed. It was tax ditches. in the area, which it would drain the farmland, run out, and run to the Manokin River, because it is so low and kind of swampy areas on the eastern shore of Maryland there

that they put this thing in when I was just a kid put all these tax stitches in to help drain the farmland to make it, you know, more productive. Well, doing that, I mean, we have seen river otters would swim up, come down these ditches, and all, and muskrat would be there. there. Well, at the time, muskrat pelts and the meat, I mean, the meat was a delicacy back there, and people would trap muskrats. Go and ditch you do that. Well, he was at retired. He was a disabled vet, and he trapped muskrats in the ditches there. And he used to go out about 10 o'clock at night was the last time he would go check his muskrat traps. And he used to carry just a little 22,

pistol with him that if he had to dispatch a musk rat that you know he could do that well he said he was out uh one night and this was during that same kind of time frame and said he was the furthest ditched down from his house to the east uh right before a woods line that j i wells own that a big timber company on that woods there he was down in the ditch or it was going over there got down in the ditch, and the ditches are deep. I mean, they are some pretty good-sized ditches that drain this thing out to the point where you kind of, the bank is so high on this ditch, you kind of had to get on your butt and scoot down because, I mean, the bottom where the ditch bottom was could maybe be like six feet down from the bank.

So we're talking some serious ditches. Well, he had got down there. the water was down in this ditch, so there was a slight bank before you hit the water. So he got down, was going to tend to his last trap, said he got, slid down to ditch, was

bending over the trap to fix it. I don't remember. I think he said it was sprung, that there was nothing in it. He said about that time he noticed something heard in noise to his right, and by the time I looked over

there, he saw something about 30 feet away down like a dark blob, come up and turn because he was standing between whatever this was in the woodline, and said came charging down that ditch bank, you know, right past, you know, came by and knocked him over. Let's go, girls. So you've been taking one of these little pink pills daily? Yeah. And you feel. Uh-huh.

And he said, well, does that happen? No, he said, but what I did do is I stopped checking these traps after dark. And now when I go check them, I carry a 44 with me along with my 22. you. Apparently it just, you know, freaked him out back there. So that happened and that was right across the street from where I lived. And after that, nothing. I mean, again, we didn't hear that screaming sound anymore.

And I don't know if he didn't say anything or if it was stuff that happened night, but nothing else in our area that I hear was a true. to that part of it right there. But I said earlier, I would go to the Pocomoke State Forest. I used to turkey hunt and squirrel hunt back in the state forest from, oh my gosh, like, as a kid right on up until I moved out here to Kansas in 1996. And going out in that Pocomoke State Forest, it's on a thing called Old Furnish Road back in three there.

And sometimes I'd go back your squirrel hunting and you'd see you weren't supposed to drive a vehicle on those fire roads. So hunters would park right on old furniture road and walk back in if they went hunting.

And many, many times as I would go back there to hunt, I was the only car there. I mean, I was basically by myself the only person there within miles of anything going back in this state forest ground. And I would walk back in and there was, I mean, I had certain places that I really like to go. And sometimes I'd be back in there as squirrel hunting and I would hear knocks. And not unusual, the farmers, if you ever had, if they had a disc, sometimes a disc because of the ground,

the very moist ground that we have would clog up, and the spaces between the disc gangs would fill up with dirt. And farmers would get there and they'd have to beat them, and you hear us, don't, you know, knocking sound as you're clearing these disc games out. I would be back humming in the woods, and I heard that, and I just, oh, okay, that's a farmer, clear now the disc game. And it was only after about a half dozen different times hearing that, that it finally occurred to me,

well, wait a minute. They do this generally in the spring when their, it's tilling season going on is when they do this. Right now, we're talking, you know, October, November. They're not doing that. They're not banging it.

They're not using these things. And I'm in the middle of the state forest. There's not a field for miles away from me. So, and at the time, I was not aware of, you know, Bigfoot tree, this that, or the other, but you would just hear these knocks, and I didn't think too much of it.

You would hear like one knock here and then another knock and, you know, just naive that I was, like, okay, it's not bothering me. I didn't pay much attention to it. And you'd sometimes be going back there and I would hear whistles. And I know a bird can whistle.

They do that kind of thing. But where a bird is like, or, you know, making some kind of a melodic whistle, this was more, it was like a monotone whistle, like a type thing, which just seemed odd. But again, well, maybe it's, who knows, you know, maybe it's a bird. Not an ornithology, I don't know. so I didn't put too much stock in that either but I would hear whistles and then if I finally piece together okay when I went down a certain fire road in this state forest I might hear whistles if I went another one I didn't so I don't know you know if that was a territory thing or what there was another area that if I walked back in I would get there was a little ditch that I would cross going back and I mean we're talking

I'd sometimes be half mile three quarter of mile back you know in the woods and I would steal and I would walk down these fire routes squirrel hunting and there was one particular area that I would get to

and I would say probably 40% of the time when I would cross this ditch the area that sounded in the fort would stop You wouldn't hear squirrels. You wouldn't hear birds chirping.

I mean, you didn't even hear the sound of insects buzzing. But I would get back in there and this feeling of creepiness would just come over me. And I've always felt, okay, something's watching me. And invariably, I don't have some senses left over from back in the day as humans, but I would always be drawn to a certain area and I'm like whatever it is is over there there's something over there watching me well a lot of I just okay I'll just sit here

be quiet for a half hour maybe I spooked something so I would just stand there and try to let the woods come back to normal and nothing I mean it just stayed silent and it got to the point where I finally felt so uncomfortable that I'm like, well, I'd start walking back. And as soon as I crossed that little ditch again and got back, the birds was starting, you know, everything would be normal.

And I'm like, and that didn't happen every time. Like I said, 60% of the time I could still hunt back there and be fine. I've killed squirrels out of it. It's not an issue. But again, 40% this. would happen. And since it didn't happen every time, I would keep going back

there and just kind of test the waters. And if it felt off, I'm like, okay, fine, I'm not going back there. If everything seemed normal, I would go on and do my thing. So, you know, found that. And then, you know,

I went down a different room. One I normally didn't go down one day. And in the V of a tree, there was, it had started to rot, but there was half of a deer carcass in the V of this tree. Now, it was probably six feet up in the airs where the crotch of this tree went up. And this thing was, there was a dough, drooped out in the front, and I went around the back, and the back half from the, like the shoulders, was gone.

It was just the front half kind of set in this tree, front legs, and then the head and net kind of folded over the front legs in this tree. Like, what in the world does that? You know, I didn't know if, well, maybe the tree, you know, the deer jumped up in the tree and got hung up and rotting, you know, something. So I looked at the base of the tree to see, okay, did the back half you fall in her

or bones dug her out nothing it was just the front half of that deer in the cross of that tree what does that

you know what could have caused that I don't know so that's kind of some of the things that happened there and then

in 1989 I had by that time I had three little boys been married and had three kids and sometimes we would take the kids up to the movies up in Salisbury, Maryland, and come home and my wife would shop.

The movie theater went to was in a strip mall, or not a strip mall, but a large mall. And I would take the kids to the movies while she would shop, and then we'd grab a bite to eat late and then head home. Well, this one particular night, I want to say it was in the movie. the fall. We'd been to the movies, saw a late show, she had been shopping, and it was like 10.30, quarter to 11, something like that at night where I'm coming home. And through that forest, coming back out of Fruitland, Maryland back, there's a thing that's called Metter Bridge Road. At the time, from, well, there was a large stretch of woods that was

I mean, there was nothing there. We used to own a farm right on the, would have been the south edge, I guess, of that where Meadowbridge Road started from Friendship Church. Back up there, we had a hundred acre farm right there. And then from that point, all through for, I want to say five or six miles or more, there was no how it was just woods.

Road went through the woods. With this particular evening, as we were coming home, it was like a full moon, but there was clouds over it, starting to get a little bit chillier, so we had some fog coming in. So I was coming home. I had three little boys in the back. My wife's with me were coming home. I come around down Meta Bridge Road, and I hit this stretch of woods, and there was a curve on it, And as I'm coming up, you know, because I've got low beans on because of the fog, I'm going to make sure.

And I'm not going real quick again because of the fog. And I got my kids with me. Well, I see like reflectors in my headlights. Well, that's odd. I mean, I've driven this route hundreds of not thousands of times. I don't remember them. And as I get up closer, I realize, okay, wait a minute. I'm, as the moon would peek out of clouds periodically,

and it would kind of illuminate it a little bit more help out. And as I thought I'm creeping up, then I realize, wait a minute, what is that? There's something on the side of the road. And at first I didn't know if it was deer or what, but the closer I got, I realized, well, that looks like, you know, humanoid something right there. And I thought, I see something down, like on the ground. and I thought maybe it was a car accident. So started slowing down.

And as I get up, then I'm realizing the shine I thought was reflectors. I'm thinking, oh, that must be somebody there. And it's reflecting off their glasses. They must be wearing glasses. So I rolled the window down and I'm kind of coming up to see him. And I stopped and I probably was not six feet away from them. and there is a ditch, a swale that goes down between the woods right there

and the side of the road. And I kind of angled over towards that side of the road, which in Russia, in respect, it was not the smartest thing because there was a curve right there. But I thought something, you know, so I pulled over, rolled the window down,

and I'm asking, hey, is everything okay? You guys need help. And as I'm looking, the moon peaked out again up and I'm like, what am I? You know, I realize, okay, this is not people I'm talking to. So the one was laid down on the bank, would have been the far bank of the swale away from me

and was on like right hip kind of laying on the ground, supporting their body with their right arm up, you know, kind of reclining like you would see in something like Clear Patch would do in some of the movies. You see that reclining position she would do. So that was like that. The other one had been stooped over and was at the time I thought it was only like six foot tall.

I thought it was a person. Well, when I stopped, the reclining was looking at me, looked over at the other one, and made this like mewage sound, almost like a cat. You had just this little, like whimpering mewings sound

as I'm assuming it was a female. I don't know. Looked for me, looked up at the one standing. The one state came up, stood all the way, and was eight and a half feet tall. And I realized was standing

in the swale and it was up, I had to look up from the car up at him, or I'm assuming him, I couldn't tell because it was dark. I mean, their faces, it was what I could see like

one solid color, just huge. I mean, I realized, oh my God, these things are immense. And it looked, it never took it and when I saw it, it was looking at me, It never stopped looking at me from the whole time it stood up, full time, you know.

And when that one mewed at it, this one just kind of grunted and reached out the left arm towards the car. And, I mean, it was all, because I had my window down. If it had leaned in, it could have snatched me right out of the way. It was that close. But it came in, and I'm just seeing this huge hand. and I mean the hand looked like it was the size of a baseball man I mean it was huge coming over with five finger I mean a hand coming over and then I could see hanging down off the arm hair that was like

four or five inches long just kind of hang as it reached over and I was shocked and I realized okay I didn't really feel fear at the time but I was just awestruck and then it hit me wait a minute you got your wife and three kids in the back of you know you need to get out of here let's go girls so this is the little pink pill everyone's been talking about yep that's addy good things do come in small packages

They say everything happens for a reason, but I suspect everything happens for a reases. Like this commercial break, did you need 15 seconds away from music or 15 seconds to eat

or Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a reases. So I just, without taking, I just kind of pulled off and went on, drove on home and got there and we didn't say that my wife, we didn't speak, until we got home. And then we're like, what was that? And she's like, I don't know. And then we were trying to think, you know, was it somebody Kuna?

We were trying to just figure out what in the world we had just seen. But I don't know. I don't know. I mean, wasn't somebody in a suit? I doubt it. I mean, who would be there and think somebody's going to come along?

That special, you know, time of night, into fog, I don't know. But my wife was talking to some a friend of hers about it maybe a month or two months after that.

And the friend's like, where did this happen? So she told her. And her friend was like, well, my son, they went out in that area because there's a little clearing in the woods. They went out there and they were partying, would go out and like have a beer bust and that kind of thing, take pickouts back there talking. She said, they were out there. I want to say like a month or just prior to that in the summertime because we came out there in the fall.

and they'd been back there and something had stayed in the woods and was certainly they could hear something big walking through crunching around them the clearing they were in and then finally they got headlights up and looked and saw this huge humanoid-looking thing they said it was like eight feet tall going around a dark big scared the crap out of these kids they take off and she's like yeah they saw they don't know what it was they saw but it freaked them out when that happened. So, you know, that kind of a thing there, because that was pretty much the thing.

That was within like a mile of where I had seen these things on the side of the road. Have you ever seen anything else that looks like what you saw that day? I mean, that's really weird. Yeah. Well, like I said, I had another sighting. out here in Kansas. But, and I wish that it, it was so dark. All I could see was like a dark face.

I couldn't see a lot of features because it was at night. The moon was going in our closet. The one time I did get to see it with the fog. I can't get specific. It was just dark colored. You know, and maybe it was two huge people in dark cover. I don't think so because I saw hair coming off. I mean, and the way they moved, it just, I guess I was six feet away from them.

That's what I could just. Yeah, I mean, it was, it was absurd. And why the one, I didn't know if, when she, I keep saying she because the mewing sound, if maybe something had happened, if she maybe got hit by a car and was laying there. I don't know why one would be reclining right there. and the other one had been bent down like maybe it was lying there too maybe they were wrestling

and then it was getting up when it heard me coming maybe I don't know but it just when I pulled up they were both kind of looking at me and like I say the one that was reclined turned and looked at the other one

and made that little mewing sound and it didn't look at it just kept focused on me and just didn't that grunt and reached out towards the car and I looked at that. That's what I'm like, okay, I got to get. So, yeah, I've never seen anything like that back there before. That was new.

But like I said, it was, I didn't really feel, feel, feel, or feel fear at the time. Just, I'm am amazed. I mean, I'm trying to piece together what I see, you know, what I'm seeing here. and it doesn't make any sense. I mean, you see these things. I don't think anybody's ever really prepared when you come, when you see one of these things,

because there's nothing really that you can do to prepare yourself for that because it is just, the size is so amazing. And, I mean, you know, you hear, grow, oh, these things aren't supposed to exist, but yet they're standing right in front of you, you know,

kind of a thing. So I thought, well, maybe, you know, that was a one-off kind of a deal. Well, like I say, moved out to Kansas in 96. So I'm out here, and I mean,

you only hear about, okay, you know, the deal out in Northwest America out that way, the Pacific Northwest, nobody really expects Bigfoot to be on East Coast anywhere. I certainly did not expect them to be in Kansas, moved out here because we don't have the woods here that we had back in Maryland. But I was, I'm retired, I was a service manager, HVAC,

have been the HVAC refrigeration trade and controls, HVC controls. And I worked for a contractor up in Wichita. and as I was coming home, I would come home through, you know, the countryside. And there was one spot I would come down and it's near a little area called Beaver Creek that comes down through a county road

and big fields there. And I would come that way every day from work and I always look there because I would always see like turkey in the field or deer, something like that. the whole time I never ever saw a human in there. I never saw the farmer

because they would have crops there sometimes. I never saw them harbored. I never saw a human being in that area. And this road comes down on Cali 3 to California. I mean it dead ends into this

thing. But there is a gravel road that goes from that T intersection and goes on back to well, they call it the Arkansas River here. Anywhere else in their free world, it would be the Arkansas River. So, you know, but that goes back to the river. So there's nothing back there. It just goes back into overgrown and then the river right back there.

Well, I came home. It was near, I want to say like January 2nd, 2014, something like that. Came home, was coming home early, the boss let us go early. because after the first of the year. And it was, I want to say, 23, 3 o'clock in the afternoon, something like that. Still daylight. Pretty day, kind of chilly, but pretty day.

A little bit of breeze blowing. And as I got down there, I always looked towards that to see if there was deer or turkey, anything there. This time I come up to the stop sign and I look and I see something. There's a woods on either side, little stand of trees on each side of this gravel road that comes up to this field

by where Beaver Creek went through. And I saw, finally, I saw something in that road. And I'm like, what in the world? I mean, it was taking up half the width of the road and was huge. And at first I thought, oh, my God, just the first person, you know, it's somebody on a horse than I'm looking at. And I'm sitting there, because it was kind of in the shadows

with the trees, all the leaves, well, the leaves were gone. There were some old and dead was hanging there, but a little bit of shadows from the trees and some cedar trees, that kind of stuff. So I'm looking at it,

and the more I looked at it, I thought, this is odd, because it's all one color that I'm seeing right there, but kind of dark. And, I mean, now is it, because it's coming towards me, like, okay, it doesn't really look like somebody on a horse, and the width of it and the height of it, it was huge.

And I later, I mean, it was from where it was from me was probably 400 yards away. So that would give you an idea of the distance. and this thing was huge from that far away. So I'm sitting there watching it, and it's coming towards me, and I am trying to puzzle out what in the world I am looking at, and then somebody came up behind me and tapped the horn, and I really, oh, crap, you know.

So I went to the left and turned, and went maybe a half mile, and screw this. I turn around, I got to see what that is. So I go back again, and this time I should have just pulled across from there into that gravel road. I wouldn't even thinking about that at the time. But I go back this time and I do.

I turn into that gravel road and I stopped and whatever it was had come out of the road by this time around the corner of that little woods was in the field and was walking back in the field back towards the river where it kind of had come from but in the field this time. And now I'm seeing it. And I'm like, okay, whatever. It's on two legs.

It is freaking immense. And what was really odd was I'm seeing this thing. It was back in that now when it was there in the sunshine and I'm seeing it, it was kind of like a cinnamon color. Right? It was dark in the shade back there, but it was like a cinnamon color. But as I'm looking at it, the color is undulating. It's like variegated, and I'm like, what in the world?

Almost like, you know, neon signs where they fly it. This thing was flying up and down the body of this thing. And it finally hit me. It reminds you if you see wind as it's blowing through a wheat field. You see the lighter colored and then the darker stalk, you know, out. You get that color variation as the wind blows through. And it hit me, okay, it's the hair. the wind is blowing that hair, and I'm seeing the color, and then the undercolor is the hair's being blown,

and that's why it's up and down as the wind things are blowing, you know, wind tendrils, this thing up and down. That's why it's changing color. And, you know, what is this? Because it's, again, just one big blob with that, you know, and I mean, you can see the thing. It looked like it was like five feet wide. it had to be 10 to 12 feet tall. I mean, was huge. And I'd sat there and watched it,

and it was making ground quick. I mean, huge strides. It wasn't running, just walk, you know, but the strides it was taking, it was covering ground fast. And within probably 10 minutes, well, I don't even know if it's 10 minutes, it had gone from there.

and I lost it in the trees again. It angled back into trees and went off to wherever it was going. But I looked at that and still, what the heck? I go home and I'm telling my, I think I just saw a big foot. And he's telling my wife and she's like, why didn't you take a picture of it? You got a camera right on your phone. It's one of those things I was so awestruck. it never even occurred to me to pull that out to try and take a picture of it.

I'm like, crap, you know, should have, but didn't because I just, once you finally realize it, the shock is like, holy mackle, you know, saw one of these things again, you know, to me it was all again because I'm pretty sure I saw one or two of them, you know, in Maryland. and so I talked to one of the local guys here they've got a cryptic thing and met him out there, told him about the encounter, and he was telling me he says, yeah, in 2014 in November of that year,

so it would have been after, you know, my saying, because I didn't tell him until, well, only like a year or so ago. And he said he had seen one cross the road only a half mile from where I saw that there in November of 2014. So apparently whatever is hanging in that area, running the river up and down in there. And that's, you know, that's been it so far. You know, I haven't seen anything since.

But that's kind of my story, Jeremiah, from as a kid to a senior, now that's kind of some of the weird stuff that's happened to me. Wow, Alan, those are some wild, wild accounts. And I mean, man, that area in eastern Maryland, that Pocomoke area, that needs to be looked more into, or maybe I just haven't heard of it. Because it sounds like there were other weird things happening in that area, too, right? Yes. Yeah. I mean, there's all, I mean, there are all kinds of folk, or ghost stories that you can get on there.

There's a cemetery back in there that, I mean, it's a cemetery. So there are people still do there, and they get weird things happen in the cemetery. So there's paranormal stuff. There are Bigfoot sightings. There are supposedly dog man sightings, and between you and me, I'm just as glad I did not run into one of them. but in that area it's supposed to be

somewhat prevalent from what I understand in some dog mad stuff back there but yes definitely the the Pocomoke State Forest like I say it's an area of high strangeness all back and through there so yeah it definitely needs to be looked into

some more I hope some maybe some people listening to this will come forward with other things that they've experienced in the area. But Alan, thank you so much for coming on the show.
