Bigfoot Society - Encounters from the Lummi Reservation and more!

Episode Date: November 30, 2024

In this episode of the Bigfoot Society, host Jeremiah Byron presents a collection of compelling firsthand Bigfoot encounters from across America. Starting with post-Hurricane Helene Bigfoot activities... in North Carolina, the journey continues with eerie experiences in the Blue Ridge Parkway, including trees snapped post-hurricane, mysterious shadows, and strange noises. The episode also explores chilling stories from the Tahoe National Forest where campers hear a mountain 'breathing,' and hunters in Northern Arizona encountering an eight-foot-tall figure. East Texas offers tales of unknown sounds, tree breaks, and mimicked human voices, while a Colorado resident recounts a sighting near Mount Zion and subsequent restricted land access. The final section dives into the rich Native American lore and frequent Bigfoot sightings near the Lummi Reservation in Washington, where unique cultural perspectives highlight respect and coexistence with these mysterious beings. An unforgettable series of accounts that span from the Blue Ridge Parkway to the reservations in Washington and Nevada, this episode is a must-listen for anyone fascinated by the elusive Bigfoot.Resources: Help Hurricane Helene Victims here:https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/helene-relief🔴 Subscribe to our Youtube channel and leave a comment here: https://www.youtube.com/@BigfootSociety?sub_confirmation=1Share your Bigfoot encounter with me here: bigfootsociety@gmail.comWant 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!)Share 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.

Starting point is 00:02:19 unable to be vetted due to the nature of the interview situation it is literally people coming into my live and requesting to come up on stage. That being said, we are starting out with an individual that has been having Bigfoot activity after the Hurricane Helene hit in
Starting point is 00:02:42 North Carolina in East Tennessee. I believe the focus does still need to be on helping out people in this area for as long as it needs to be done. In fact, I'll have a link in the show notes
Starting point is 00:02:57 the Confessionals podcast has put a link on how individuals can donate to help out that area that has been affected. However, there are stories that will need to be shared. People will start to come forward and this is a platform that will share those stories. The focus does need to be on helping the individuals that were affected, but we will start to share stories and accounts. And again, the link will be in the show notes for how to help those that have been affected by the hurricane. Hello. Hey, Nanda, this is Jeremiah. Thanks for coming up.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Feel free to share what's been going on down there in the Blue Ridge Parkway area. Okay. I live off of 80, which is a well-known area for people to ride to check out the Blue Ridge. It cuts directly onto the Blue Ridge Parkway. We have the Devil's Whip. Just a lot of fun stuff to do here. If you're in riding motorcycles, I actually have the Appalachian Trail going through my backyard.
Starting point is 00:04:04 And since the hurricane, we've had a lot of increased activities from trees broken in half that weren't broken before the hurricane. Keep in mind that we didn't have anybody up here working at the time. So they would be pushed certain ways. Hallmarks extremely high. up on trees. I don't know what that would be from. We don't, we have little black bears.
Starting point is 00:04:31 They're not that big here. And from seeing shadows, especially when I take my dogs out at night, of tall entities walking through the woods, hearing like footsteps and things like that, to the howls, the hoots is what you would call it, or whoops. Yep, yep. To even alien type activity. I'm close to about 30 minutes from Brown Mountain. We've actually had lights show up.
Starting point is 00:05:02 We would sit out on the front porch and they would come down the valley. We have a nice view of Mount Mitchell. And through the valley, the lights would appear out of nowhere, no reason for lights, no cars out that way, to just things disappearing and moving. During the hurricane, we kept our house in lock because we were letting volunteers use it as a staging area. So that way they could get what they needed supplies.
Starting point is 00:05:30 They had somewhere to sleep, somewhere where they could get to comfortably. Before they came in, they noticed that things were moved around. It looked like they found some weird fur, massive footprints, things like that. It's funny, but we said we wonder if Bigfoot came and chilled at the house while we were gone. Because we were going for about three weeks right after the hurricane. Oh, okay, I get it. Yep. This is before anybody had access to the house.
Starting point is 00:06:04 And we have a graveyard, a family-owned graveyard from the 1800s, not our family. About 200 yards from our back door. All the time we see shadows and stuff down there. Talking about cats, I have two outdoor cats. One came with the house. one was left. And they were taking care of, I don't know who took care of them, but somebody took care of the cats the whole time we were gone.
Starting point is 00:06:32 And I live off of out in the middle of nowhere. You would not be able to find my house unless you knew it was there. That's how secluded I am. We just got power back this past week. And we probably don't want to, could you say maybe, I'm not going to ask for location. I'm sorry. So just by the Blue Ridge Parkway Devil's Whip area?
Starting point is 00:06:55 Yeah, I'll just say at Sea County, North Carolina. Right there at the North Carolina, Tennessee line. And you can pull up the Blue Ridge Parkway and check it out. There's been known abductions and alien sightings and just all sorts of wild stuff out here. Apparently they see the skin walkers out here. We've heard animal sounds, and I've grown up in North Carolina. Carolina, my entire life sounds that would have scared us. My husband is a Marine. And several times things have happened from people, we don't know if it's a person going through
Starting point is 00:07:36 cars, but keeping my mind close as neighbor is an elderly man about a half a mile away. Car doors would be a battery. The battery for my husband's truck, if somebody opens the door and doesn't shut it right because it's a pretty old truck, the battery would die. So it's somebody would open the car looking for stuff and come back outside and the top car door still open or the battery's dead. We've seen shadows go past the windows and the shadows would be massive. They would take over the take up the majority of the window. How big are your windows? They're pretty high.
Starting point is 00:08:19 I'm up on the side of Mount Mitchell. I'm about, I think it was 3,000 feet above elevation. It gets cold up here and snows often. But lots of wild stuff. We've been putting food out not only for our cats, but just to see if somebody would take it. Tonight I've left two bags of uneaten grapes out on the porch just to see if they're going in the morning.
Starting point is 00:08:48 I would say be very careful doing that. The trick is that when you start doing that and then you stop doing it, that's when it can cause some big issues. But I get how you're trying to feed the cats as well. Yeah. And I just see where somebody said the Appalachian Trail, the part of the trail that goes through our backyard has been completely changed. Big boulders from the top of the mountain have come down rocks everywhere. They're finding all sorts of stuff. no was there from caves to we found a gold nugget or at least it probably isn't but lots of
Starting point is 00:09:27 wild stuff is being found a gold nugget yes on the appellate true sits the hurricane in fact when the mudslides started we had vibrations here at the house we thought we were having an earthquake and so we just happened to be where we were at the um river or the water flowed on each side of the house but didn't touch the house. I'll be glad to send you pictures so you can see what was a tiny screen turned into a river. Oh boy. So lots of stuff has been on earth. Lots of stuff has been changed. I have a few questions for you. They say how large the footprints were the people that were using your house and helping out. From the pictures and from what he explained, it was barefoot and it was much bigger than him. And he was
Starting point is 00:10:22 is a size 12. All right. It's happening. Yeah, I knew these were going to start coming in. Do you have a way to contact that person? Yeah, I sure do. Would you be able to reach out to see if they would be up for talking about it? Sure.
Starting point is 00:10:41 I will give them a message here later and see if I can get them to come on. I know they were busy. A lot of us have been doing a lot of volunteer work. Yeah, absolutely. The devastation here is much more. worse than what's being shown. Much worse. Or they, you can even pass on my email too. That might make it easier for them. You said they saw fur as well?
Starting point is 00:11:05 Yes. Long, darkish black fur, blackish brown. He said it and it smelled horrible. Oh, okay. Just the fur or was it were there things attached to it, skin, flesh? For some reason, he picked up the fur and smelled it. I don't. I, I, No wife. Yeah. And actually, my foster pup is in heat, too. So there's been more activity, but nothing, no coyotes, no wolves, nothing like that, no bears. Were these guys that were from the area, or were they from different parts of the country?
Starting point is 00:11:44 Correct. Yes. They were volunteers coming in, veterans that volunteered to come in to help move people out because we found areas where there were 230. people in a church stranded with no access to fresh food or water. Wow. And it's still extremely bad down there, isn't it? The energy out here is changed. It's more chaotic, but sometimes it's extremely chaotic, and then sometimes it's very comforting.
Starting point is 00:12:17 I've actually had a near-death experience a couple years ago, and sometimes I feel and see things that, I don't know if it's from the brain injury. or if I'm speaking stuff into existence. But like I said, the energy has changed out here. We have heard footsteps on our back porch when there's nobody here. Nobody whatsoever. I'll be glad later to send you pictures of the house and everything. We have a half a mile uphill climb to get to the house. Do you have, do you ever hear?
Starting point is 00:12:57 hear things from the woods, like your names being said or whistles or wood knocks. We hear whistles. We hear knocks all the time. My son, bless his heart. My father grew up telling him he was going to be a big foot hunter. And so my dad would take him outside and they would hide Jack Link's jerky outside and knock on trees and hoot and hollering and everything. And it's funny because my grandmother could not say Sasquatch.
Starting point is 00:13:27 So she always called him Snatch Crotch. So for the longest time, we've always said, oh, snatch crotch is coming to get you. But that's a whole story in itself. He has gone outside and knocked on trees. I've even done it, and you'll hear knocks back. How quickly? Within at least a minute, 30 seconds longer.
Starting point is 00:13:51 I've heard screams. Like I said, I know there's coyote and stuff in this. But I know what a coyote scream sounds like. This sounds like a human, but it's deeper. It's got more power to it. Yeah. That makes sense. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Any other weird things ever heard from the woods that would not belong? We've seen taking pictures outside at night, and you'd see two eyes up high, up high in the trees. You'd have that kind of a bluish green eye shine. laughing and yeah we have heard laughing
Starting point is 00:14:33 several times mumbling like somebody was talking but you couldn't understand them so it's like that oh I know what you mean yeah absolutely yeah wow ever anything crying
Starting point is 00:14:48 yes my dogs especially the foster one that we have if she goes outside and she gets spooked, so she's always checking her boundaries. She came from a bad situation for the past week, every time, maybe two weeks now. Yeah, about two weeks now. Every time she goes outside, she looks around and barks.
Starting point is 00:15:11 She'll bark two or three times. And if she hears or feels something, she's immediately back in the house. Wow. That is very intense. And this has been happening for years or for how long? I've been here two years up here. Two years. I've been in North Carolina, the majority of my life.
Starting point is 00:15:26 I'm originally coastal. Gotcha. Have there ever been any sightings of Bigfoot around the area where you're at? Marion, North Carolina has the Bigfoot Festival each summer. True. So, yeah, you're saying definitely, yeah, there's been sightings. Oh, have you heard any other stories of people that were noticing things that could be Bigfoot related after the hurricane? majority of our neighbors have noticed things have shifted move things aren't
Starting point is 00:16:05 where they left them like people like folks have been plundering but here's the thing we had we where we live it's very rural the road was completely washed out there was no way to get back here unless you had four-wheel drive or an ATV or you attempted to walk it so for people to get trees or big cut trees that they had moved is odd. Right. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't, people aren't just going to be randomly going up there.
Starting point is 00:16:40 It'd have to be something else is what I'm hearing. Exactly. Yeah. After the hurricane, it took almost five or six days for us to get evacuated, and that was a meta-vac. Oh, my goodness. if you start hearing things from oh she's out okay that's unfortunate i had other things to ask she's going to probably reach out through email at the time of editing november 20th
Starting point is 00:17:13 this individual has not reached out with any further information or emails if they're listening they're invited to do so by contacting me at bigfoot society at gmail dot com also if there are other individuals that have noticed increased bigfoot activity that seemed connected to the hurricane please reach out bigfoot society gmail.com so hanny uh what what did you experience uh during that storm flood okay well uh i lived on a river and um the water was really high and in fact it was so high that it was a big flood It was in, um, nine, let's see, I think it was in 97. Anyway, uh, the, um, there was a warning alarm on the television back then. Remember when, when it used, you know, do you know what I'm talking about?
Starting point is 00:18:11 Oh, yeah. The TV was on. Um, we were all sleeping out in the living room because the flood was really big. The flood was so huge. You could hear trees crashing through the water and stuff. BigFa Society will be right back after these messages. Plan B made over-the-counter emergency contraception legal more than 20 years ago.

Folks knew the Colonel approved of his new honey chili crisp and jalapeno ranch sauces
Starting point is 00:20:12 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 jalapeno ranch. Get dipping with a boneless bucket today.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Prices in participation vary. It was, so we had a flood storm warning thing on, and it came on in the middle of the night, and so I bolted up in bed and heard this big crash in the back of my back deck looking over the river, and here he came, just crawling right over the railing, took down the railing and a planter and just lumbered right across my porch. He only took three big steps, looked right over through the sliding glass door, and then vanished into the forest, 10 feet away from me.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Oh, my goodness. Would you be able to share what state this took place in? It was in Southern Oregon, close to the California border. So were you talking down by Grant's Pass or farther south? Okay. As a crow flies, pretty close to Grants Pass. That's the same surrounding area, but in the wilderness mountainside. Oh, I'm not surprised at all. Yeah. My interest in investigation just personally, I have kind of believe that they're interdimensional as far as their speed goes. And the way that he was walking, I have heard. heard from, I used to listen.
Starting point is 00:22:06 There used to be a big foot line on the talk radio that I listen to all the time up in that area. Oh, wow. Nice. And so they encouraged us to like take, you know, take a stick and bang it three times in a tree to listen for a shout back. And there was a lot of activity going on in the forest during that time period. Supposedly they were on the move up to a British Columbia. So did you get a good look at its face when it came? over the railing.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Yeah. I got a good look at the whole thing. It was almost as if it was in slow motion. I mean, it was close. I could hear the whole thing. It was clumsy. When he went over the railing, he stumbled, knocked it over, and then knocked over the planter. So he turned his head and looked down and it was kind of in slow motion.
Starting point is 00:23:00 But then when he got off of my deck and went into, the woods, it seemed as if he just disappeared. What color was it? Kind of similar to what my llamas looked like, where it was like calico kind of, light calico. Do you know what I mean? Like with really woolly, like dready.
Starting point is 00:23:35 That, okay, so like the, The hair on it almost looked like dreads, you're saying? Yeah. That is extremely interesting. I've actually taken reports from up in the Willamette National Forest, where there was a group of people that were chased away from what they said were two Sasquatch that looked like they had dreads. So that's extremely interesting. You said that. Do you remember any details about what you?
Starting point is 00:24:09 saw in the face area? Well, the eyes were kind of yellowish. But there was so much hair, and he turned around and looked over his shoulder at the planter and then turned towards the door, the sliding glass door that I was looking through. But there was no ear bumps or You know, there wasn't really any features around the head. Absolutely. Shape for the head at all? Kind of longish, elongated forehead. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Right. You had mentioned that there was a lot of other activity going around, going on in the area. What other kind of things were happening in the woods during that time? Well, there's this whole, area that is kind of above where I live where there's a thing called the Bigfoot Trap. And it was so you're familiar with it with where I'm talking about then. That is a very, if you're in the community, that's kind of like a legendary area. Yeah, you can still go to it, I believe.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's still very much there. It's really simple. But the trees are just smashed over in that whole area. It's been so long ago now as far as well not on the talk radio and stuff. The experience is like yesterday, but as far as what I was listening to and, you know, I mean, it was always late night after Art Bell. It was big, hairy. man-like form. I mean, I would say, you know, if you're going to close your eyes and imagine what Bigfoot would look like, that is what it looked like. There was no other animal features,
Starting point is 00:26:19 like there wasn't an elongated nose, there wasn't perked up ears, there wasn't any of that. It was really like a human form, kind of a looking thing. just large and in slow motion, very heavy. Very heavy. I mean, it shook my porch. But he looked like he was running. From how fast it was going, or is that more from the movements? By the way that his body was moving and the way that, you know, his foot caught the railing,
Starting point is 00:27:04 tipped it over. He was in a hurry, and it was during that. I mean, there were boulders rolling down the river. It ended up being, you know, they opened the floodgates of the Applegate Dam that night. Oh, wow. It was a huge. So it was just like getting me out of there pretty much. Yeah, or, you know, I mean, I've often thought if they were rounding up family or, I mean, what was he doing on my back porch?
Starting point is 00:27:33 Right. Exactly. I think like a deck that overlooked this spawning, salmon spawning swimming hole. It was a beautiful part of the river. Pretty big gorge, you know. Perfect place as well for them to, you know, that's a great, great food source. Was anyone else there with you to see it or were you alone at that time? Well, I wasn't alone, but I was asleep on the living room floor doing, you know, watching the stick.
Starting point is 00:28:07 watched to make sure that we didn't need to evacuate. So I just had my two girls next to me in bed. But when the planter fell off of the railing, it woke up my three-year-old. But she didn't see anything. It was just that the porch was crashing, you know. And there was the big going off in the TV. It was a very chaotic moment in time. Well, Haney, thank you so much for coming up and for sharing.
Starting point is 00:28:41 what happened that night back in the 90s. I really appreciate you coming up. Sure. Thank you so much. Have a great night. Thanks for coming up. So is it Sonia? Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Cool. And so you had something weird happen in Tahoe National Forest? Yes. What happened out there in that forest? Yes. So we had been partying and camping up there. It was always a good. group of us. Can you hear me?
Starting point is 00:29:13 Yes, you sound great. Okay. So it was always like 10, 20 of us. It was, I'm a barber. So it was always like, our two barber shops and friends and family that we would go up there with. So at nighttime, so we wouldn't disrupt the rest of the campers, we would all, whoever wanted to go, at night, we would walk up to this waterfall that was like, like a quarter mile up and through, and you had to walk through this paved road, because there's people that live up in the mountain,
Starting point is 00:29:50 but you have campgrounds off to certain sections and very secluded, so we had to walk up this road, and then you come up to this waterfall, and so we would be up there parting all night. And one, so the sixth year, I, we were up there, and I, decide to go use the bathroom so I had to walk back and we all had like little lamps on our heads or you could carry a lamp so I was walking back by myself and I
Starting point is 00:30:24 was I'm a runner so I was lightly jogging back and it was again that road that quarter mile stretch and I was just jogging feeling so good and all of a sudden And it's as if all my hair stood up all over my body and I stopped instantly on my tracks and I winced and I like flinched and I put it just felt like something was upon me. And I stopped and I instantly remembered there's bears in that in that forest. And I was like, what am I going to do? Am I gonna run? Am I gonna what to do? Scream, holler, what do I do?
Starting point is 00:31:15 And I started hearing breathing. And I looked to my left because that's like the mountain more to your, now it's to my left. And to my right is the river, like from the waterfall. That's where the water's coming. So you can hear the water. But in that moment, I didn't hear water. hear anything. It's as if all I could hear was my heartbeat in my
Starting point is 00:31:42 eardrums. And I, it was my blood and all my senses. My whole skin was tingling. I didn't know what to do. I was stuck there and so I look up. I couldn't see anything but I sensed or felt it was big, humongous. I didn't know What it was, again, like me telling it, my skin is crawling because I, I started walking. I was like, just walk and keep moving. Whatever you do, keep moving. I remember, keep move your feet. Keep moving.
Starting point is 00:32:25 And I kept looking up and I was like, is the bear? So the bear is it going to run after me? What do I do? What do I do? And I kept looking. And all I could hear was this inhaling and exhaling. I don't know how bears inhaling exhale. I don't know what they sound like,
Starting point is 00:32:43 but it did not seem as if it was located. This breathing was as if it was the whole mountain breathing. I kept moving. It never came at me. I never heard no branch, no movement, nothing. All I sense was inhaling. and exhaling and the inhaling and exhaling was following me. So it wasn't moving.
Starting point is 00:33:17 It was as if the head was moving from what I felt. Like all my hearing was hyper alert, like on its 10th sense. Volume 10 is what I was hearing. And I went to the bathroom. I came back to the camera and I was telling everybody and they were like, you're high. What the? I started cussing them out. I'm telling them, you guys, don't go over there by yourselves.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I'm telling nobody would listen to me. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

Starting point is 00:37:45 feel free to share what you experienced up there in northern Arizona. Okay. I wasn't actually there. It was told by my friends, but these friends I've known for like over 30 years. Flagstaff Williams area. So my buddies told me they went up there to go hunting. They had scouted the area, you know, like weeks before they headed out. So they parked out on the side of the road.
Starting point is 00:38:14 So they were like, okay, you know, this grab her. equipment set out so they're they tell me that a they get out the vehicle and they're walking into the woods so when they start getting into the woods it's not really thick yet until they start like probably like about a quarter mile they start getting you know dense woods surrounding so that was my it was my buddy his father and a cousin so it was three of them so when they were out there they saw someone running
Starting point is 00:38:51 like kind of like a like a like a speedwalk almost it was another hunter so this hunter was coming out and approached them and he started telling my friend and his dad and him
Starting point is 00:39:08 hey we need to get out of here you know let's get me out of here you know and uh and they were like why what's wrong what are you talking about and he just says no just I'll tell you when we get here he says just take me just get me to the road he says my car is down like five miles down the road because where he was at he had to like head in a different direction right so he told him you know I'll pay you a hundred bucks if you guys take me down the road and give me my truck
Starting point is 00:39:42 they're like, all right. So they head back to the truck. And they noticed that the guy kept on looking back. And then, you know, they were like kind of started feeling uncomfortably said. So they started looking around their surroundings and all that. So when they get to the truck, he said the guy just bolted out. Like he didn't even like, man, the guy just left, you know. And he said,
Starting point is 00:40:12 I guess he didn't want the riot after all. My buddy, he has a really keen eyesight. You know, he could see things from far away, and he could pick up smell pretty good. So he said when they were right there, you know, like, okay, you know, what was that all about, you know? So that my friend, he tells me that he smelled this odor. And he said it, he said it.
Starting point is 00:40:42 it smelled like a wet dog like it was like the the smell was just like so powerful he was like man what is that smell like is there a skunk or something around here so they what he saw what he told me he saw he turned around he started looking at the brush he said it was about close to about 100 yards from their vehicle now so when he they were like okay what is that you know they couldn't see it. So my buddy said he got his scope and he put the scope on what he saw. And what he described to me, he said it was about eight foot tall. The shoulders were like about, he said about six foot wide or larger. So when he saw this thing, he said, it had its back towards him. So he was telling me he said the color, he said, do you know what a silver back?
Starting point is 00:41:50 Like a gorilla? He said it had that similar color. But it wasn't a gorilla. So he said like it, it was above like the brush and all that. It stood there for like about a few minutes and And then he was just following it back into the woods with the scope. So when he finally told me this, he didn't tell me this until like maybe like a few years ago. He didn't want to tell nobody like outside of his family who saw it because he figured that people would think he was, you know, BS in or like, what are you talking about? Right. But, yeah, that's what he saw. And I totally believe him.
Starting point is 00:42:48 And, oh, yeah. So prior to that, they had went to the Rangers office to go report this. So when they told him that the Rangers, the Rangers had told them two weeks before that someone else had put a report that they had saw a Sasquatch in the area. The area is, uh, it's really dense. So it's in, you know, in Arizona. I don't know if you ever been to Arizona, but it's really up north. They got a lot of the woods and it gets, uh, pretty thick and everything. I'm, I'm familiar with Arizona, uh, up in the northern part of it, you have the, um, Mogeon ram, right? Yeah, the Mogeon. They even have, yeah, they even call it.
Starting point is 00:43:39 they even call it the mogul. Exactly. Is that where this took place? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So there's sightings there and then there's the last sighting I've heard
Starting point is 00:43:53 was in, uh, what was it? San Carlos, like on the reservation. Okay. Wow. Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot of, um, different sites.
Starting point is 00:44:09 you know but it's all the more of the sighties are up north you know down here in the valley you know you don't hear nothing but once you hear the you head to the the woods out there where it's like really um no one out there you know that's where they see it at and you know and I believe them you know like I said I've known him 30 years so I believe him and uh I told him, dude, you should have went somewhere and told your story, you know, and because he, you know, it was a, it was a pretty good high-powered scope. And he said, like, the, the, the hair on it, he said it looked more like hair, like, than, like a fur.
Starting point is 00:44:58 It wasn't very thick at all. And like I said, he thinks it was an older Sasquatch because of the way it was colored, you know, the silver, like the, like, you know how we. how men get that salty gray beard. That's what he said. Yeah, absolutely. That's what I heard. No problem.
Starting point is 00:45:19 Thank you for having me. Yes, sir. Thank you, D.C. for coming up and sharing your friend's story. I appreciate it. You have a great rest of your night. Thank you. Appreciate everyone hanging out tonight. We had my crazy awesome crowd tonight.

So if you look up to Tay Hieronymus YouTube channel as well, let's see, I live in East Texas, and my wife and I are off the gridders that actually live in the middle of the tiny woods. Okay, great area. Yeah, that's a super squatching area.
Starting point is 00:46:34 I'm going to send simply an invite to see if this individual is, okay, here we go. Hey, simply, thanks for coming up. Sounds like you've been having some things going on up there in your area. Feel free to share what you've experienced out there. Well, it's my wife's family's property. It's 40 acres. We decided to go live out.
Starting point is 00:46:58 And I talked to her in it. Let's do this. You know, we're spending wage, much money. So I'm out here. I go out here and I start clearing land. This is the first incident. And I hear, it's like three in the morning, and there's a big tree that just, like, you could hear it Splinter, like a million toothpicks breaking. I was like, what the heck?
Starting point is 00:47:20 No win. It happened two nights in a row. I went back and looked. I left that night because it freaked me out. Went back and looked. It was two cedar trees, big cedar trees, tall ones. They broke about 15 foot up. Just the tops broke completely off from them.
Starting point is 00:47:39 Well, once we got settled in, we basically had an outhouse to start with. Every time my wife would go out to go to the bathroom, you would hear it sounded almost like coyotes that turned into owls that in the end turned into monkey chatter. And there was about four of them. Very, very strange. hear trees being pushed over constantly. One incident when we first were out there, I left her there in the, I had a camper, I left her at the camper, I went into town to go get some stuff. I always make noises in the woods, like what you, like what a Sasquatch might make. And I was, I always whoop. Well, I left for the store. I come back and I couldn't find my wife. She was hidden
Starting point is 00:48:41 hidden under the blankets in the camper. I said, what are you doing? It's like 90 degrees out. She said, well, you left, and you know that stupid noise you always make at the woods, whooping sound? I was like, yeah. She's like, as soon as you left, it started up. I was like, oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:49:05 I mean, I know it's, I'm just jumping around trying to hit a few. My stories are many, but I'm trying to hit a few. but I'm trying to hit a few of them. Absolutely. The, uh, my dog, I don't, I've had her since she's a puppy. And she's my, uh, she's the protector of the property. You know, she's the coyot getter. She's not afraid.
Starting point is 00:49:28 She's not afraid of anything. She, and she, she gets the job done. Well, if I start making whooping noises at the woods, this dog gets so nervous. nervous and won't even look at woods at all. And that's her home. That's where she lives. She's not an inside dog. She lives outside because she does what she does.
Starting point is 00:49:53 I start making them whooping noise. She'll start pacing back and forth and won't even look in the woods. She don't like it. I'm going to see. There's just so many of them. Nightly, if I'm out there burning, burning the land off, you know, burning the dead off the ground, the dead foliage and stuff. That's when there's a lot of action that really happens.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Like, you will start hearing the, it starts off like an owl sometimes. But it's, it's not owls. And they'll just chatter back and forth for a long time until either I put the fire out or I, But I assume they feel that it's not going to cause them any harm. But it's just, it'll go on for hours if I'm out there burning. It's crazy. And you're right. There's East Texas is like one of the highest, uh, reported sightings of, of Sasquatch.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Mm-hmm. Absolutely. And it's, it's just crazy. It's crazy. The, the, the, the, the noises we hear. the, I thought, I sometimes think I see them, but they're, they're just like a dark, because they're always way far away when I do think I see them. And it's like a tall, just a darkness, like standing next to a tree where you should be able
Starting point is 00:51:26 to see past the tree, you don't. And so that's, I guess that's a few of my stories. They go on forever. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

She used to laugh at me constantly when I start talking about Bigfoot. Because I've been a believer of everything that people don't believe in.
Starting point is 00:54:13 So I always talk about, I'm always talking about, and she used to laugh at me and poke fun at me, you know. And she will tell you now, and she will sit here and tell you the same. same story. She, she believes now. She definitely believes that there is a Bigfoot out there or Sasquatch or whatever you want to call them. Current day you're saying. Oh, yes, absolutely. We've been out here for two and a half years and this kind of stuff. I don't know. I'm not going to tell you I see them every day. Right. Because I don't. But there is some kind of activity that you're, You just, you have to sit back and be like, hmm. Okay, well, I know that, oh, okay, here we go.
Starting point is 00:54:59 I'm sorry, I just remember this. I have had rocks thrown at me, but not hard. Just thrown light enough to hit the back of my calf and fall down to the ground. And I was, the first time it happened, I was like, what? What was that? And I turned around, you know, it hit my calf, bounced off, but I seen a rock moving at my I turn around. I was like, okay, that's kind of weird. Maybe I get up. Turned back around and started walking. It happened again, and it was a little bit higher up on my back of my thigh. I was like,
Starting point is 00:55:31 okay, no, that's kind of, that's not, I'm not kicking them up. The next thing that was thrown at me was a, and we figured out what it was, but it was a piece of pine bark, a big, like a, from a big tree, but it looked like someone had sat there and, rubbed it but they're like held it in their hand and rubbed it with their thumb and it was it was a perfect flat almost like a blade but smooth and that that was throwing at me and that that actually hit me in the back and there's nothing there's nothing else out there like I showed it to my brother and the first thing he said he's like you sat there and rub that thing with your thumb for days I said no sir I didn't he's like well that's exactly what it looks like
Starting point is 00:56:19 that someone sat there and rubbed it with their thumb and both sides were that way smooth smooth and it was like almost like a blade like a knife blade weird weird vibes about this one dude like um it says some weird stuff you're dealing with dude but you know what and i'll tell you this my wife and i neither one of us we do not feel threatened there i do not feel a threat I mean, there was a couple other things. There was one time. And like I said, we're in the middle of the woods. We actually live in the middle of the woods.
Starting point is 00:57:03 We have a house. Veterans Restart Ministry built us a house out there. And so we have a house. It's not now we do. We've been out here for two and a half years. But the, well, I think it was maybe, I think it was maybe eight months ago. we were outside and there was just this such this strong heavy smell of leather like we were like we walked into a leather shop it was that strong and it only lasted for i'm going to say 35 minutes or so
Starting point is 00:57:41 and then it was gone like there was never no leather smell very strange how close is your closest neighbor um let's see not close enough to where i could eat smell their dinner when they're cooking it okay yeah gotcha do you know have you ever talked to people that relatively live close to you to see if they have stuff going on or there's something you just don't talk about um no i talk to it about everybody, but it's everybody else that don't like talking about it. Gotcha. Yep. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:58:22 This is my wife's child. I mean, she, her mother grew up on this property. She grew up on this property. And the one thing that my wife told me that was, it caught me off guard really a little bit. I never met her grandfather. But everything I've heard about him is he's not, he wasn't a scared man, except for when it came to the nighttime.
Starting point is 00:58:44 and he would not go outside on that property nowhere. And they lived in a house right off the highway on the same property. And he would not go out at night. She said he was scared to go out at night. He just wouldn't do it. So, yeah. But again, like I said, we do not feel threatened. I don't.
Starting point is 00:59:10 The weirdest thing that really happened was my wife, I was inside. She went out and she went to go to the bathroom. And she calls me. I answer the phone and she's like, where are you at? I said, I'm in the house. She's like, no, you're not. I said, no, yeah, really, I'm inside.
Starting point is 00:59:31 I call her mama is what I call my wife. I say, hey, mama, or let's go, mama, whatever. That's what I call her. She said that something was just on the other side of our house. house and it was like it was clear as day she said it said hey mama and she thought it was me and it wasn't nobody there because people don't come out they you know this is texas you don't go fooling around like that with somebody yeah yeah exactly will be hurt so it wasn't no person things like that happen all the time out here to this day if you start hearing that from the
Starting point is 01:00:14 woods uh don't go in the woods please I mean, well, and see, that's my wife. She gets so upset with me because I do it all the time. Like I go because I, we have a creek of our freshwater spring creek that that's where I get our water, our water from. So I bring up 30 gallons a day every day, but there's times where sometimes you got to go to there. Or you may sometimes I'll see lights back there and I'm like, hmm, why do you see lights? So I'll go down there. But again, I don't feel threatened, man.
Starting point is 01:00:50 I did, there's no, there's no part of me that, that gets the chills, you know, like how you would if, if there was a threat. Mm-hmm. Sure. I just don't get, I don't feel that. I don't feel that. And nor does she. She don't feel that way either.
Starting point is 01:01:06 However, she will not go down in the woods at night, ever. She thinks I'm crazy for doing it. Yeah. Right. Oh, wow. This is, this is absolutely wild. That's some of my story. Where are you from?
Starting point is 01:01:22 I'm off in central Iowa. See? Now, I used to live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, animosa, Iowa, east. Oh, yeah. You know. Some weird stuff out there. There's some pretty strange stuff.
Starting point is 01:01:39 I never heard a lot, but I've seen signs of, why is that tree broken where it's broken? Yep, exactly. The tree. Oh, yeah. So. Yeah, there's a lot of Bigfoot stuff in northeast and southeast Iowa. But, sir, do you, would you be able to send me an email?

Sorry I couldn't get on the other day, but I had to wait until last night. Oh, you had no problem. So feel free to share what you've experienced out there. Well, you know, you say you work with the Bigfoot. I can't remember their names, the ones that first came out and started doing it. But they went up to Leadville, and they were talking to Treheel. His brother used to do my carpets.
Starting point is 01:05:19 anyway, me and a couple of my buddies, because he's seen him down on the bottom part of Albert there, his dad owned all the order and bought some property out there. But anyway, from my experience, me and a couple of my buddies one day decided to go up to Mount Zion, which is off 24 when you're headed towards Vale. Okay, in Colorado. Yeah, in Colorado there. Well, when you get down to the river and you come up on the other side, they got a turnoff there. I used to work for the Forest Service up there for a while.
Starting point is 01:05:49 But anyway, we decided to go up onto Mount Zion. So we took about, it takes about 20, 30 minutes to get up there. But anyway, we got up to the top and it flattens out. And so you can get out and you can walk over and look down into Buckeye Lake. And that was one of the lakes we stocked with the Yellowstone Cutthroat. But anyway, me and my buddy were there. He decided to go back over because there was three of us and one of them, they're all in them stayed over at the truck.
Starting point is 01:06:18 I was sitting there looking down at the lake, and it's not really a lake, it's like a pond up there, but anyway, it's down off of the cliffs. And I seen something move right there on the water, right on the shore part of the water, and I looked down. And it stood up, and it was like, I know a lot of people say they see the black ones. Well, this one wasn't. And he was like, I don't know, eight and not a eight something. He was huge. But he knew I was there. He looked up at me.
Starting point is 01:06:51 He could see me up on the cliff, part of it. Well, they got like a rock slide over on the other side coming down into the pond, or up into the Buckeye Lake, but like I said, it ain't like a huge lake. But anyway, he looked up and he was looking to me, and I was looking at him, and my buddy Greg had already headed back over to the, go back over to the Jeep. But it wasn't like I watched him, and I seen him through the bushes for two seconds. I watched him and still, he started, instead of going towards, you would think he would go towards the, because we were up a timber line, you think you would have went over towards the timber line, but he didn't. He started coming up the rock slide off to, you know, on the other side.
Starting point is 01:07:33 And I'm a mountain boy. I mean, I know what it takes to climbing up, my former Marine, but that thing started climbing up the side of that hill like I ain't never seen nothing. So I sat there in Washington for about, right at about 15 minutes. I figured, you know, I had enough sense to know that if he can get up that side of that mountain, that rock slide like that, you don't want to be there when he hits the top, you know, because we wouldn't have been that much for him to come around. So that's when I left. And I took off. I went back and told my buddy that told Greg, I said, did you see that? And he goes, what?
Starting point is 01:08:07 I said, you didn't see that thing down over there? And he goes, nope. I said, well, it was right after he walked off that he came up. that it came up. Now, the interesting part of this is, okay, that right there, Mount Zion is like on one side of where the Climax Millivum Company is, Climax Mine. Okay?
Starting point is 01:08:24 Well, you were always able to go up, if you went up over to the mine top part there on the pass, you could actually go over there and fish in Chalk Lake, right? They had the access into there, so they never really closed those gates. They couldn't because they had just leased that property off of the government. So anyway, about a week and a half later I got to think and I said well I'm going to go down through there off to the other side nope they closed it up so I said wait a minute I stopped one up there
Starting point is 01:08:53 to climax to the to the part and I asked him how come we can't get bound into Chalk Lake anymore said now it's just closed I said well I didn't think you could close that but all right so I figured I'd come back over on the other side it's Camp Hill right you're on 24 you come down at the old 10 Mountain Division used to be able to drive in there too right and you could go all the way to the backside and go up and do there because there's some really good fishing up in there up in the put beaver ponds they had dug a tunnel i mean they had dug a trench that you couldn't get through i didn't care i don't care what kind of a vehicle you had so they cut that whole access off this is about three weeks after i seen this thing they've evidently somebody else must have because uh yeah they had it and yet they're still to this day they've cut access back there there's one guy he was from texas that i think he had a some agreements down there where he could take him up there, four wheeling, and those little whatever, four little, bite, before things. He's the only one still allowed to go back through there and that and the wintertime.
Starting point is 01:09:54 He does, he does like skiing excursions back to him. He's the only one allowed back up in there. They shut that whole access off to that whole thing. And you're talking about many, many miles. So somebody's seen something and they cut off total access where you can look it up. I guarantee you can't get back in there. so I don't know why and you know I was born I was born in pre-but raised up there in Leadville and we always had access to that
Starting point is 01:10:19 and it was just shortly after I seen what I saw that they cut it all off you can't even get back up in there so it had to be the government to shut it on it would make sense so you you were saying that you had you were able to see for about 15 minutes yeah well no I watch it for a little longer than that it took him about 15 minutes get up there because he kept looking at me.
Starting point is 01:10:44 He still stayed. Okay. He didn't buy the shore when he was doing something into water. But you know what? Like everybody always says, oh, they're black or that. No. You know it was wild because when he stood up and like I said, I got a pretty good sight. He was huge.
Starting point is 01:11:01 The only thing that I could see that kind of offset me because he was like orange, like an orangutan orange. But then the only thing I could really see, see was right where his chest where you can see little bit of skin, you know, the hair was there, but you could see a little bit of skin on each side of his chest. And it was like, but he sat there and watched me, man. He was watching me and I was watching him. And then, but like I said, you know, you would think he would be afraid or not want to be seen, but he didn't do that. He went right up to the rocks like because he could easily slip down into the, you know, the timber line there. But he didn't do it. I guess he wasn't,
Starting point is 01:11:38 let's say upset by my, well, he was moving off cautiously, but he wasn't upset, you know what I mean? But he just kept looking back, looking up, looking at it's like, so I thought it was pretty interesting anyway. But I'll tell you what, that was the day that I believe, because up until then I didn't. Yeah, I mean, if you're ever going to believe that's the day for sure.

Starting point is 01:14:31 I could see his face. You know, yeah, you had the long hair. You know how a little bee shuffled, let's say. But, yeah, I could see his face. And he did. You know, a lot of these guys get it pretty correct on what they look. But, you know, when they were talking to what he was talking about, I think he said a black one, but where he was,
Starting point is 01:14:53 where his dad owned that land and where he inherited it when he let them dogs out i remember that story too he had never told me but like said his brother was used to do our carpets because we managed up there me and my wife and i was i went to middle school there from middle school on up and uh but we used to go camping where he was talking about is down down by the uh the golf course and then it takes around over to the fish hatchery because that property he has is right off the other side of that But we if you go up a little bit down where the golf course is the backside of that you can get to the backside of Turquoise Lake Which the dam is there and you can come in through the back. I could tell you another story over there too That guy said he was writing a book. I don't know if he ever did it, but you could just go back into that part and you know at night
Starting point is 01:15:41 You don't you know we're young boys. We didn't want to get creaked out but oh yeah You get a feeling you know when they're around everything goes silent and I mean way silent and you can just feel it And I never did like camping back there. And that's not far off where he said that he's seen, where he let his dogs off. And his dogs went down into random into the woods because behind there is, I can't remember his name, but his family had been there forever. He was a sheriff deputy. His dad on that property were Tahririo bought a little slice of it. But anywhere back in through there, if you go in camping and that, you just never felt right.
Starting point is 01:16:19 you know, you just care of your, you know what I mean? Because, you know, right, right. Yeah, I get to it. Yeah, there was nothing, there was something in there just wasn't right. Sounds like this area has a whole bunch of activity going on. I think so too, because, I mean, for real, I used to like fishing in Chalk Lake, but they cut the whole road. You got to understand, like, if you go up to the top of Climax Mine,
Starting point is 01:16:46 that's where the entrance is on one side. It comes out on the 10th Mountain Division, what used to be the camp hill is the one that they shut down. And you could drive that all the way through there. And so it would take you through these really cool beaver ponds. And then, of course, you're coming off the hill there. So it was just beautiful down in there. But I remember another time being down in there with my wife and my daughter, and I went to go fishing back up in there to hit those ponds.
Starting point is 01:17:13 And so my wife got out and told me she was going to walk my daughter down the road. ways and I said okay well I'm just go hit the ponds real quick because they ain't that far off just got to go through the willers and uh so I got I started to walk through there and she took off and walking with her and I you know by the time I got my pole and everything already I went to walk off through there and I lived up on the side of that hill and I and that part of the forest or right right you know that road going down into you you got the the old growth you know what I mean you can see splashes up but I'm putting the side of the hill and then getting up into the timbers and there was a group of trees in there
Starting point is 01:17:49 and this is another one where, and that's in the same area, but actually I got to go that it was through that road that they cut off. I was about halfway through. And I looked up and I seen this thing, this tree, but I mean,
Starting point is 01:18:04 it was in the middle of the tree, the group of trees, but it was the middle tree. And that thing was just moving, man. You could see it just, wow, and it's like, there ain't no way.
Starting point is 01:18:14 There's no, because I even went out. that I called down to the to the forest service and I asked him I said you ever heard any uh uh Grizzlies being in Colorado and he's like no I don't think so I said well I've never heard of it either I said but in able to move that tree that I just seen because I told him the story I said I know able to move that tree that thing would have had to been way huge you know what I'm saying I said I don't even think of absolutely yeah so there's been a few for instances with me and there
Starting point is 01:18:45 And that was just me growing up around there. Because that ain't far. That's the road going down towards Vale, you know. But yeah, and it was all within that area. Yep. And they cut that off. It used to be the old road going up to Leadville. And then they cut another one.
Starting point is 01:19:00 I used to work for the Department of Transportation for Colorado up there. Yeah, out of Patrol 19. But anyway, yeah, there's a lot of weird stuff. But I, you know, to me, it wasn't weird after that. Because once I seen what I seen, I seen him, you can't unsee it. You know, it was like, okay, now I, I, believe. Yeah, now you're now you're on board and there's no getting off. I started telling people here and there and they all looked at me like I was crazy,
Starting point is 01:19:26 so I just quit telling the story. But, you know, like you say, Canada, and once it's taken out, you can't come and tell me I didn't see it. But that was before we had, yeah, it was before you had the, you know, cameras on your phone. I'm 66. Uh-huh. Well, you know, it ain't like I'm coming here and being crazy. because everybody looks at you oh you're a nut no i just know what i said and you know i've met a lot of good fellas because i got i got them stickers all over my truck there we go where do you get yeah that's all it takes yeah it's all it's all it's sad part is you have to sit there and try
Starting point is 01:20:00 to convince him i said well i'm not here to convince you all i'm here to do is tell you the story see i know what i love that you can't that take you take that out of me and i can't see you know you can't see what i said but for somebody being of a rational mind you know what i mean and worked in positions of authority. I'm not going to sit here and tell you, no, I didn't see it because I did. And I said, and if you can give me a reason why they shut that land out, you know, I would sure be interested because you cut off a lot of good fish and in the state of Colorado, you know.
Starting point is 01:20:31 Right. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. Well, sir, I appreciate you coming up and sharing what you experienced in that area of Colorado. Thank you. No problem. I just wanted to get that out to you. You have a wonderful evening, my friend.
Starting point is 01:20:45 You too, sir. Thank you. Oh, no problem. Crystal says our reservation has some crazy altercations that made local papers. I've heard one, but didn't look. I'm going to see if Crystal is available to share what she is referring to. Hey Crystal, this is Jeremiah. Thanks for coming up. You're saying you're having some things that were happening on your reservation. starting big foot?
Starting point is 01:21:16 Yeah, well, we've had a lot of stuff that doesn't make the paper, but we've also had things that happen. And the instances that I want to talk about were from when I lived there. So this was probably, you know, the mid-90s, I would say. I live in Nevada now. I used to live in the Pacific Northwest near Bellingham, Washington on a reservation called Lumme. Oh, boy. Here we go.
Starting point is 01:21:53 Yep. Yeah, they were having a lot. Well, I think that sometimes tribal people tend to not tell outside communities, like what happens when there is a, a rash of like a lot of people seeing them when they're in the area, active in the area, I should say. But my grandma and like older people used to set plates of food out and stuff for them. So they would feed them. You know, if you went fishing and you put some fish aside and she would take it back
Starting point is 01:22:33 by the woods and she would leave it. And I assumed like, okay, old people, maybe they're like feeding, you know, porcupine, dog skunks, you know, different stuff like that. And they wouldn't really talk about it unless they knew that they weren't going to be mocked or laughed at. And so my mom and my dad and my grandma were sitting in the living room this one time. And my dad start talking about when they had been down fishing by the river. And so I was kind of sitting there and I'm young, probably, you know, almost a teenager. And I was kind of sitting in the background and I don't think they knew I was there.
Starting point is 01:23:18 And I was sitting there just listening to them on the back porch and they were in the living room. And they were saying, oh yeah, remember we were down by the river and we were cooking and whatnot. And they were telling the story to my mom. My mom is originally from Nevada. So they were sitting and they're talking. And they go, oh yeah, tell her the story that made the Bellingham Herald.
Starting point is 01:23:45 And she's kind of sitting there listening to them. Well, they were down there fishing. And when they put out fishing nets, they would like tie these poles out almost halfway across the river. And then they would have bells on the top of the poles. So when the fish would hit the nets, it would jingle. It would make like a jingling noise. And like four of these guys had their nets out on the river.
Starting point is 01:24:09 and they're all just sitting there drinking beer and like, you know, talking and whatnot. And it's about 3 a.m. around there. And they were kind of getting tired and they were sitting around talking and stuff. And they could tell by the direction of the bell whose net it was. So like my dad's was the closest to the fire and Johnny's net was farther up the river. And they heard the bells jingle and they said, oh, Johnny, it's your net. Like, go check your net, man. So there's a bunch of fish in your net.
Starting point is 01:24:42 And so he goes out there and he's taking a while. And they said, we stood up. And they were like mining lights on their helmet, you know, around their forehead. So they're able to get through the brush down to the river. And so they can see his light, like going. And then it stops. And he's kind of standing there. And they were going, what is he doing?
Starting point is 01:25:05 And they kind of got up and they went, you know, closer. to the edge of the river and they were looking down toward where he was. So he's partway toward the river and then they could see him move down and get in his boat. And then they start telling it from his perspective. And he said, Johnny said he went and he got into a skiff and he starts pulling himself along the net. And then he said all of a sudden his boat got hooked on something. And there are like, you know, branches and things like that that your boat can get hooked on. And he was pulling himself along the net. And then he was kind of pulling on the net really hard and he couldn't figure out like what it's hooked on.
Starting point is 01:25:53 And he turned around and looked and there was like this branch that was hanging, like holding on to the edge of his dingy. And so he moved it and then he started to pull along the net again. and he noticed that the net was going up out of the water. So it was raised up. And he could just see it with the spotlight, like he was looking at the net. And he looked up and that big foot had the other end of the net and was pulling fish out. And he fell backwards screaming in his boat. They could see him fall and start screaming.
Starting point is 01:26:26 And so they all went running towards the path that he'd taken down to his boat. And he said, I fell back in the boat. but my headlight went down almost between my eyes and I watched this thing. He goes, just take one step up out of this 10-foot embankment and just like pull itself up. He goes, it was enormous. It had to have been like nine, ten feet tall. He goes, because it went up easy, you know, and these ridges on the other side of the river are high. Like, they're not, a man can't climb it.
Starting point is 01:27:07 Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. Plan B made over-the-counter emergency contraception legal more than 20 years ago.

And so he starts screaming. They call the police and then they bring the Bellingham Herald out the next day. And they're like, you know, show us where this happened and all this.
Starting point is 01:29:13 and they went on the other side where that Bigfoot had climbed out, and there were these big giant footprints, and they made casts and everything, and it was on the front page of the Bellingham Herald, and they were talking about this rash of, like, sightings, because other people had seen it, and this was where the river is, there's also, like, on the other side where it had climbed out,
Starting point is 01:29:38 if you go maybe a quarter mile from there, There is this little town that they called Marietta, and it's super small. There's just houses, and that's it. There's no store there anymore. There's not really anything. Well, a couple days after that, when the Bellingham Herald had come, and then when that sighting had happened, like people were talking about it the next day. And the person that was living, one of these people were living in Marietta, and he
Starting point is 01:30:13 also was drying fish. Now they have like sheds where they dry meat and dry fish and they tie them on ropes and then there are nails in the ceiling and they would hang this meat down from the ceiling. And this guy gets some fish and he guts the fish and he throws it out by the side of his house for the dogs and whatnot and then he was tying these fish in the shed. And he said I'd notice like a couple of them missing but I was thinking well maybe you know maybe a dog's getting them maybe something like that well he said he didn't have enough line for it to you know enough nails in the roof tang the line from the roof to hang the meat up to dry so he had brought it inside and then put safety pins along the wall and then hung the the thread the rope or string or whatever and
Starting point is 01:31:11 was hanging the fish along his wall inside. And he had his chair and like his TV and stuff like that in his trailer and he was sitting there watching TV. He said, and he heard the dogs, like, first they were barking. He said then all of a sudden everything went quiet, like no barking, no sound from outside. And he thought that was kind of weird. And he got up and went in the kitchen and he looked out the window and he didn't see anything. And then he said, well, then I went back to my chair.
Starting point is 01:31:45 And when I sat back in my chair, he goes, I'm facing the TV. The window is beside this meat. So I'm looking at the meat above the television. And then there's this window there. And he goes, I had the window open because the fish was smelly, you know. And so he had the window propped open. And he said, I just sat down and I looked up. And this face is in the window.
Starting point is 01:32:11 He goes, but then it reached its arm in and it grabbed one of the fish and scraped along the wall and left like marks on the wall. And I don't know if they were deep or whatnot. They had mentioned them in this article afterwards, but everybody was talking about that. And then after that, and they tend to be like, like they aren't all the time. It's not like all the time. It's like a, it almost seems seasonal, like, as if they're going through somewhere or something. And well, anyway, he had mentioned that to this reporter.
Starting point is 01:32:56 And aside from the scrapes on the wall and stuff like that, you're kind of going off of what someone said. She said, was there anybody else there? And he goes, no, it was just me? And she said, what did it look like? And she he said it looked like he said it was brown, but its features looked more human than monkey. He said it had the nose that's like pushed up almost between, not between the eyes, but it's a lot higher than a human nose. So like the nose is higher and then that big space between the mouth and the nose. and he said it had hair like all around except for around its eyes.
Starting point is 01:33:42 And so the eyes like it could see almost like he was telling my uncle, it looked almost like something where a gorilla or something had goggles on. And you can see like gorilla skin is not like human skin. It's like really tough. It looked really tough. The skin looked really tough around the eyes and whatnot. Well, then a few years later, and I don't know if this is the same account also as, I don't know how many people have watched sightings. They recorded this on sightings once as well, but they had only gotten one of these police officers account.
Starting point is 01:34:24 And he was the chief of police, the one that they talked to. They didn't talk to the deputy that had been at the other end of the road at the time. that this had happened that this is a totally different account like a couple years later this is like 70s right um the the one with the police account the the chief of police i believe was Kenny um haler or something like that that was in the 70s the one that was on the sightings and then later on they had come to speak to the police and i don't even think that sightings sightings was a thing. I don't like I was going I they were saying it was sightings and I go sightings isn't a thing anymore. I don't know if it was for their online like I remember in the 90s they had online where you could watch things online. Well anyway, they had come and and talk to somebody about this. Well, on our reservation they had like a theft like somebody had went into town and you know, So all these police, there are only like two roads that go on to this reservation from town.
Starting point is 01:35:38 So they had been watching for this person's car when they were supposed to be coming, you know, breaking the law or whatever. He somehow gets past them and he's driving like erratically and it's about, you know, midnight around there. And he kept shutting his headlights off trying to get away from them. and he went down this main stretch of road in the center of this small little reservation. There are no houses. There was nothing. There was just trees, swamp, stuff like that. This is before they built the tribal building that they have now on this road.
Starting point is 01:36:16 But it was just nothing out there. So he shuts his lights off and he's driving down this road. Well, the police are after him. And they said, be careful of this guy. He's really big and really violent. So this police officer knows this guy and he says, he comes over the radio and he says, I saw so and so run across the road in front of me. And he's stopped his car and turned the headlights into the bushes, turns his light on and starts chasing after him. So he's like going through this thick, thick blackberry bushes, brush, trees, everything, trying to, try to, And he goes, I can hear him crashing through the bushes in front of me, like not even 30 feet in front of me. He goes, but I saw him. I saw his frame.
Starting point is 01:37:08 I saw him run into the bushes. He goes, I, and so I'm getting back into the brush. He goes, and it starts getting really, really muddy, like into the swamp area. And he goes, I can hear him running. And he goes, stop right there, Kyle. I know that's you. And he's like going along. And he can see him like going behind trees and stuff trying to get away.
Starting point is 01:37:32 And he goes, and then all of a sudden it was quiet. And I couldn't hear, I couldn't see him. I don't see anything. And I'm standing now in like knee deep muddy water. He goes, and I'm kind of moving the flashlight around in these tree stumps and mud and brush and all this. He goes, then I saw him. He goes, and he was bent down in the water. And I said, all right, all right, Kyle, I see you there.
Starting point is 01:38:01 And he said, when I said that, this thing stood up out of the water. And I saw it. And it wasn't him. He goes, it stood up. And when it stood up, it raised its arms out, almost like a bird, like outstretched. It wasn't over its head. It wasn't like attacking. It just kind of raised its arms up.
Starting point is 01:38:22 And he goes, I saw all this water coming. off of this long hair under its arms. And I start screaming. And all those police officers are coming behind him. And so they come running up and that thing turned and just walked away. He goes, and by this point, I'm screaming and falling backwards into the bushes screaming. And those police officers get up there and they got up there and they were like, what's going on?
Starting point is 01:38:51 And he goes, that's not him. I don't know what that was. And they said, you don't know what it was. And he goes, well, I know what it was, but like, I don't think you'd believe me if I told you what I saw. And a lot of those police officers out there, they don't like talking about it. But they do. A lot of them have seen stuff. They've seen things, you know, whatnot.
Starting point is 01:39:20 not. Well, the last one that is most recent was probably in like 99 or 2000, I would say, because, you know, I was like in high school. I was a senior. Well, anyway, one of my friends was, her dad was also a fisherman. He had an overturned boat that he would keep in the backyard. And he had his net and they would string their net out and dry their net and stuff like that. She had called me and said, I'm babysitting so-and-so. Why don't you come hang out and watch movies? And I was like, okay. And, you know, I was going to go over there. And my mom goes, you're not going anywhere. Like, they are saying that people are hearing stuff, people are seeing stuff, you're not going anywhere. And so I call her back and I said, I got to stay home or whatever. And so she is there with like
Starting point is 01:40:13 three kids and they're all asleep and she's kind of sitting there watching movies. She said, and they had a motion light that was out aiming in the backyard to make sure nobody stole their booies or stole their net and stuff like that. And she said the light came on on the side where the car was and then the light in the backyard came on. So I got up and was making sure that nobody was taking anything out of the backyard. She goes, so I went back there and I looked and I saw, she goes, I actually saw a big foot crystal. And I said, what? And she goes, yeah, it was eating the chum that was left in the bucket by our boat. And she said it was bent over and I saw the back of it.
Starting point is 01:41:01 And when the light, she goes, I don't know if it heard me or what. She goes, but I had leaned over the kitchen sink and I was looking at it. And she goes, it was almost like I couldn't stop looking at it. She goes, I was super afraid, but I could, I was just watching it. And she said its elbows were like moving in this bucket. And then it turned and looked at her. She said, and then it stood up and it stepped through this blackberry brush that was separating these two tribal houses from each other. And she goes, it just walked through those bushes like nothing.
Starting point is 01:41:42 And so the next day we were out there, like, looking around for like, what if there's hair? What if there's something like out there that we could find? And so we were out there, like, looking around. And I was looking like at the ground and stuff like that. And it's very damp, like very moist. The yards are very wet, especially in the fall in like springtime. But like we were looking around there. And it was indented, like the ground was indented, but it didn't look like a foot.
Starting point is 01:42:17 Like there were no toes. I couldn't really see anything aside from that. And then the one time that I did hear it, like my mom was really freaked out. She's, you know, she's not from there or anything. And so when they would say that they're having, they're starting to see things. They're starting, you know, like, you better stay inside. don't go outside don't you know if you hear something weird don't look out your window you know that kind of thing and we were inside um who i call my grandma she's my adopted grandma but we were inside her house
Starting point is 01:42:52 and um we were getting ready to leave we were i think we were eating dinner there something was going on at her house and her son came in and he goes um hey karen which is my mom mom's name, I wouldn't recommend you go out there. And she goes, why? And he goes, because it smells really bad out there. And we were like, oh, no. And my mom was like, oh, great, you know. And so we're kind of sitting there. And then we start hearing this sound. And it was like, like a, at first it was, it almost sounded like a hooting, like a hoot, hoot, hoot, ho, who, kind of sound. We'll be right back after these messages.

Starting point is 01:45:35 Like, I don't want to say screaming or screeching. And then, like, I can't even replicate what it sounded like. It was very, like you could tell it wasn't a human. it was a different octave of sound of than if a man were outside like screaming or hollering. But it was calling. And where my adopted grandma lived, she lived above where they would harvest oysters. And we could hear it out there. And then it start whistling.
Starting point is 01:46:15 So it made three different sounds. So there was like this period of like the hoot hoot. hoot kind of sound. It wasn't an owl sound either. It was loud, like really loud. But then that scream kind of sound and then like a whistling. It almost sounded like chirping, but it was a pitch like whistle sound. And then as we're sitting there, her son starts going, oh man, they're probably down there getting oysters again. And my mom goes again. And he was like, oh, man, yeah, they were down there.
Starting point is 01:46:56 Like, I don't know when this happened. I don't want to say when he saw this because I'm not sure. But he goes, oh, yeah, we, I went out on the back porch, which aimed down this slope into the oyster field. And he goes, I was standing there smoking a cigarette. He goes, and I saw somebody walking. walking along down in the water. And it was low tide.
Starting point is 01:47:24 He goes, so it was like, you know, maybe to their ankles, maybe to their calves, something like that. He goes, but I was sitting there watching them and I was thinking, oh, man, somebody's down there poaching oysters. And he was kind of sitting there smoking, watching them. And he said, I could just see their silhouette. They were just moving along out in these oyster field where they dig. oysters. He goes, and then I was going, oh, pretty soon tribal's going to show up and they're going to get in trouble. So he's kind of sitting there watching them. And he goes, I expected them to pull out a rake or pull out something and start scraping because that's, you know, how those
Starting point is 01:48:04 tribal people will harvest their oist clams and oysters and stuff. And he goes, but this thing walked over to the slope where these big 300-pound bag, burlap bag, eggs are. And he goes, these things were full and they were tied, very, very similar to how you would keep oysters or oysters like, let's say like when people catch lobsters, they kind of keep them somewhere damp and they leave them down in the water and then they get the oysters out or the lobsters out or whatever. just trying to give you guys an idea of how they were kept. It was tied up. The top of the bag is tied. He goes, I thought it was a man, but it lifted those two bags, 300-pound bags tied together and slung it over its shoulder and start walking with
Starting point is 01:49:04 these like almost 600 pounds of oysters. He goes, then I knew it wasn't a man. Oh, yeah, absolutely. aware of like he goes they come back and forth here through here to go down and harvest stuff I think and so we were sitting there and my mom was like well I don't even want to go outside now you know after my mom was going I don't I don't like this kind of stuff like I don't want to hear anything I don't want to see anything I don't want you like after he got done with that she was like I don't want to hear anymore and a lot of native people seem like they're like that where they'll go I don't want to hear it. Like don't, don't tell me. I don't, I don't need to hear that. I have to live here. You know, and so, um, oh, wow. Very, yeah, a lot of native people, I think, are kind of, um, almost like respectful of that. Like, they don't want to really talk about the things that they see. And then outside of the culture, nobody believes you anyway. And so they'll just go, nobody's going to believe
Starting point is 01:50:15 you anyway. Why tell anybody about that kind of stuff? Because none of that matters. None of it matters to anybody outside of here because they don't have to live here. We do. And so it's more like in native cultures, I think a lot of the time they don't want to say anything because it's looked at as, I can't believe you believe. something like that. And I go, well, if you saw it, if you were there, then you would understand, like, why they're quiet and why they don't say much about the things that they see or, you know, experiences that they've had or things that they've heard or any of that. Like my dad and my uncles and stuff didn't talk about most of the things that they would see,
Starting point is 01:51:07 whether they were paranormal or whether they were Bigfoot or whether they were whatever it was. They kind of wouldn't want to talk about it. And so like getting stories out of a lot of Native communities, I think is really hard because they kind of use it as entertainment. Like, oh, that's, you know, somebody just making something up. That's somebody just telling a story. It's not really real. It's something that people do to pass the time. And so, you know, when it's situations like that culturally and the fact that, you know, my grandma used to say, you feed those things out of what you catch so they'll leave you alone.
Starting point is 01:51:54 You don't, you respect them. And so they would put out food and stuff like that. And she goes, that's the reason you're doing it. It's not because you're trying to call them around. It's because you don't want, you want to respect them as a people, let's say. If they're a certain type of people, then you do that for them and they will respect you and you respect them and you stay out of their way and you don't interfere and you don't like, you know, you do your best to just deal with what's going on and not so much trying to explain it to people
Starting point is 01:52:36 who don't want to hear it. A lot of people will say they're an animal, they're a, you know, they're this, they're that. My grandma said they're from somewhere else. They're not here all the time. They're not here all the time. So they're not a monkey and they're not a, because there were certain places on a reservation
Starting point is 01:53:00 that also had other abnormal areas. And my grandma would say there's a doorway there. And so there are a lot of places on different reservations and people will study them and they'll come in and try to poke around and figure it out. And the native people go, it's a door, leave it alone. It doesn't need be having stuff coming in and out of those places. And the more you poke it, the more it will do it. And so don't mess with it. Just ignore it.
Starting point is 01:53:27 A lot of the time I think that native people understand the thing that's going on, but they don't like to say it. And so, you know, well, where are the bodies and where is this and where is that? And my grandma would go, they're not from, they're from somewhere. They're from somewhere else is why you can't find them all the time. That's why you can't track them down. That's why you can't hunt them. That's why you can't shoot them, you know, certain stuff like that. But that's my grandma's idea of what they are and why your paths cross with them.
Starting point is 01:54:06 every now and again, but they're made of something humans are not made of, if that makes sense. I don't know if it even does to non-native people or not, but yeah. I think I can try to grasp it. I don't know if I can fully grasp it, but I'm just so glad that you were in here. I've been wanting to talk to someone who had a connection with the Lummi Reservation for years, to be honest. I mean, there's so many wild stories that come out of there, and you referenced a few yourself. But it's also in close proximity to the San Juan Islands. Did you ever hear about that area living when you lived in that area, like the possibility of Sasquatch living on some of the islands? Well, some of the fishermen had stories about that.
Starting point is 01:55:01 Like most of the people fish, like the men and stuff like that. And they would say, oh, yeah, don't go through that channel at this certain time or whatever if you don't want to be creeped out or freaked out or see something in the water swimming. Or, you know, because a lot of them would say, oh, yeah, we saw, we saw Bigfoot swimming across right there. And, you know, a lot of the time, the people who would tell you these things, they'd say, let's say my my friend drank quite a bit and they would say oh man we saw a bigfoot swimming across right there and everybody would go oh he's drunk like quite a bit so like how how serious are you going to take this well then you hear two or three other ones saying the same kind of thing or walking along walking along the embankment to go up porridge was another one that
Starting point is 01:55:59 that they would see Bigfoot quite a bit. And that's a tiny, tiny island just right on the other side, and it dries all the way out, and you can drive over there. Plan B made over-the-counter emergency contraception legal more than 20 years ago. It's a safe, effective backup birth control option that helps prevent pregnancy before it starts by temporarily delaying ovulation.

But like you could set up a tent over there and drive across and camp there if you wanted to. But they would say, yeah, they're big footprints all over over there. If you go over there. there at the right time of year and like in the in the sand going across you can you can drive a pickup truck across there and get to the island and then when the tide comes in they would go yeah there are big old footprints out there not boot prints like toes feet like feet going over and so um yeah there are stories other stories of people and a lot of fishermen have odd stories you know, of hearing things coming from certain islands.
Starting point is 01:58:32 And you don't know whether they're Bigfoot related or not based off of quote unquote doorways, if you'd like to call them that, being in certain places. You know, they'd hear a lot of weird things that people can explain and they don't understand what they're hearing exactly from people calling them to like noises to, like, noises, to sounds to, you know, someone calling their name from a certain island where nobody lives, you know, stuff like that. And so it's just odd, odd all the way around in a lot of those places. And I think that if people were to be able to see energy, like what, where these doorways or portals, if you want to call them that, or whatever they are, where things go in and out of,
Starting point is 01:59:27 and be able to understand really what's happening in a lot of these reservations because a lot of stuff happened in these areas and stuff. The fact that native people don't bother them, like if they see something weird, they don't go poke around, they're looking. They're not going to get us. Let's go check it out. They're not about that. They just kind of go, oh, yeah. Like, if you don't want any more weird, then don't go poke around weird. Like, if you don't understand it, don't mess with it because you don't know what that is in the first place.
Starting point is 02:00:02 That makes perfect sense. Wow. There's so much, so much information in this conversation. Thank you for coming up, Crystal. Would you be able to, do you mind sending me an email in case I have questions that come up later? I mean, just to have you as like a contact. Sure. I noticed on your chat there, someone said, don't they throw rocks? My ex-boyfriend had a situation where he's, you know, he didn't believe in Bigfoot or anything.
Starting point is 02:00:43 And he was working up on Mount Baker, and they were clearing land on Mount Baker with, like, you know, big equipment and stuff like that. And he said there was a bulldozer that was sitting up there. And he goes, when we got up there, it's like five in the morning. We had to get up there really early. And he goes, we go up there. He goes, and the guy I was with goes, stay really close to me, man. I don't like it up here. And he goes, why not?
Starting point is 02:01:16 And he goes, I don't know. I'm seeing a lot of big foot up here when I'm by myself. And he goes, oh, no. And he's kind of like, ooh, you know, he doesn't believe him. He's like, you know, 20 years old, doesn't believe him, never saw anything like that. And he goes, but we get up there. And he goes, we pull in and I see this tall figure walk around the edge of the bulldozer. And then I see the bucket go down on the bulldozer.
Starting point is 02:01:50 He goes, you're sitting in the truck, and neither one of us is saying anything. And when the bucket went down, he goes, holds that. And the guy he's with doesn't answer him. They're just sitting there. And then he says he sees it walk away. Like he can finally see it when it moves away from the bucket. And it had gone into the trees. And he goes, this thing was, he goes, when I imagine a big foot, I'm thinking like black or dark brown.
Starting point is 02:02:18 He goes, that thing was orange. It was like white, light colored. He goes, but it was. walked into the bushes and it was just gone. He goes, but when we finally got out, we radioed our boss and we were like, when are you guys getting here? And we didn't want to tell them what we'd seen. Well, we were there.
Starting point is 02:02:38 He goes, but we walked around the front of the bulldozer and this giant boulder was set in the middle of the trough of that. That's what had weighed it down was this giant boulder that is set in the middle of the bucket. And he goes, it took us hours to get that, you know, to wait for the guy. We tried to pry it off with a stick. We tried all this stuff. He goes, that thing weighed. I don't know how much it could have weighed.
Starting point is 02:03:03 He goes, but we had to wait for that operator to get there to dump it off of the, the shovel part of the bulldozer part, the part that has the bucket on it. He goes, but we had been trying for like an hour and a half, two hours to get that boulder out before this guy got. there because we didn't want to have to explain how the Boulder got there and we didn't want to have to explain these people like why we put it there because everything wasn't left the way that we had left it and so yeah a lot of of little things like I'm I'm not somebody who had personally seen it and so but I do know a lot of people that don't have any reason to lie about something like that.
Starting point is 02:03:56 And then all the workers, when they did get there, were going, what was going on here with this? You know, and they're kind of looking at it. Like, what did you guys do? Because you don't know how to operate this and how did this get in here. You know, and so having to tell it to half native, half non-native people and then have all the non-natives like laugh and make fun of you and whatever. Right.
Starting point is 02:04:21 So it's kind of, but yeah, I've got, I see your email up here and whatnot. So. Awesome, Crystal. Yeah. Thank you for coming up and for sharing some just incredible accounts. I really appreciate it. Yeah, no problem. You have a great night.
