And after you hear this episode, you'll definitely want to be able to hear that. All right. Let's get on with the show. All right, Bigfoot Society, you've got the privilege of talking to TJ tonight. TJ is a listener of the show, and he reached out to me. I'd like to share some things that has happened to him over the years regarding Bigfoot.
Starting point is 00:02:28 but how's it going today tj oh good how are you awesome i'm excited to uh hear your accounts for a reason that i will share later um kind of keep uh keep that in my back pocket for now but i'm going to go ahead and give the floor uh to you and you're welcome to uh share uh what has happened to you over these years okay so my uncle who was basically my father as well he that you know he acted as a as both for me um he would take me on
Starting point is 00:03:05 probably three to four camping trips every year um and it was what i looked forward to the most and one of the places that I really enjoyed going to was up in great barrington massachusetts and it's right on the new york Massachusetts state line like you could probably throw a stone and hit
Starting point is 00:03:23 New York from where we were so this this place I was thinking about it and I'm not going to mention the name of the site because I just don't want to step on any toes for one. I did
Starting point is 00:03:37 a little reading on it and I know what's closed down right now. It's in the process of being changing ownership so I don't know who owns it anymore. So I just don't want to piss anybody off by mentioning it on the internet. But this is the type of place that it had
Starting point is 00:03:53 a leak in it. I will say that and it was one of those lakes that like you see on a screensaver crystal clear and had stones on the bottom. It was just, you know, the most relaxing place you can imagine. But we also went up there to go off-roading, you know, ATVs, all that other stuff, dirt biking. Not at the campsite. We actually went, I'm not sure if I remember the name of the mountain that we went to, but it was probably a 40-minute drive because of all the hills and turns you how to take.
Starting point is 00:04:22 I think it was called Bear Mountain. I'm not sure if I have that right, but I think that it was. So this trip, it was not like the others. The previous trips, I was just getting with excitement, ready to go. Couldn't wait until he picked me up that Friday. And it was always on Memorial Day weekend. This was, it was like, did you ever go somewhere or plan something? And from the start, everything was just Fubar.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Well, this was that trip. He got stuck in traffic on the way, to come pick me up. We ended up being two hours late, and then we were trying to rush up there because that night storms were supposed to roll in. So on top of that, we got stuck in traffic going up there, and everything was just messed up from the start. So luckily we got up there with just enough time that you could see off in the distance from where the campsite was. The storms come in just lightning and everything, and we were trying to set up our tents best as possible so that we wouldn't get, you know, ringing down while we were trying to do it.
Starting point is 00:05:28 So this place, when you pull in, it's a whole bunch of winding turns and campsites that are set up. And then you can go up this one road and it follows you to the parking field. And the parking field is just this big open space. And then beyond that, it's just all dense woods. So it was pitch black by the time we got there. And we pulled into the parking space in the parking field. And I remember getting out of the car because my uncle had his high beams on. He had a Cadillac escalade that he was driving.
Starting point is 00:06:05 And I remember getting out of the car and looking because I was always a little uneasy about dense woods at night. I don't know why. It's just how I've been since I was a kid. But I remember looking over there and that's when I noticed the eye shine. And I didn't know a whole lot about nature and eye shine and stuff like that at the time. You know, I saw wildlife during the day, but never really at night. So I pointed, you know, I called over to my uncle and I said, look at that. You know, I said, is that like deer or something
Starting point is 00:06:38 like that? And I remember his face just turned concerned right off the bat. And that bothered me because my uncle was the type of person. He was not scared of anything. He was, he was out of his fucking mind. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. There was not much just men were scared. out of. So when I saw a concern look on his face, that that made me really nervous from the start. And he kind of just brushed it all off. And he was like, you know, just don't pay attention to that. Just get the tent up.
Starting point is 00:07:10 You know, we're about to get ringed on. So we did that. And thankfully he had sense enough about him that night that he took a blue tar and, you know, the little holes that come in the tarp, little metal rings. He tied it up to the part of the tent where the poles come out from underneath the tent because we couldn't get a great view of where we were that night. And we were worried that wherever we were, there was a chance that rain was going to come under the tent.
Starting point is 00:07:37 And thank God he did that. Because that night I woke up probably 1 a.m. from the thunder, and there was a river running under the tent. So we survived that night, thankfully. And I just had this feeling that there was just something off. I couldn't shake it. When the time we woke up that morning, and we left to go to Bear Mountain to go ATVing.
Starting point is 00:08:01 And it wasn't just us. It was his friend had a camper that was just probably a few sides up from us up on a hill. And it was usually a big group of us that went together. We were all spread out all over the campsite. So it was just us kind of alone near the parking field. And I think that's probably why I felt the way that I did because we were so close to what we had seen that night. so we kind of just forgot about it when off-roading that day had a blast
Starting point is 00:08:31 and I remember we were parked in the field we had the trailers unloaded and it was about probably two hours before we were set to leave we heard people screaming just bloody murder screaming now there's bears up there so we thought that that was it these people in their ATV came pulling ass out of the trail.
Starting point is 00:08:55 And they just, like maniacs, went to their car, which was just a few cars down from where we were parked and started loading everything up as quick as we could. And my uncle went up to them to try to say,
Starting point is 00:09:07 is there a bearer back there? These people wouldn't even acknowledge him. It was like he didn't exist. He was trying to get their attention to see, like, you know, what's going on? You know, is there something we need to be worried about? They didn't acknowledge him the whole time. They packed up as fast as they could
Starting point is 00:09:22 and sped out of there. we should have known after that that we should have just fucking left and went home because after that it just gave off on top of the night before that it just gave off bad,
Starting point is 00:09:33 that something was not right. So that kind of killed the mood after that because everybody was really concerned about what was going on and we figured, you know what, let's just take the loss, we're going to come back tomorrow anyway, pack the stuff up
Starting point is 00:09:49 and we'll go back to the campsite to eat. So we got back to the campsite because it was just about dusk. And my uncle, wherever we would camping, he bought this huge old-school white eagle with it. And I don't know if you know what I'm talking about. They had the double doors on it. And that's where we had all food, the fruit, everything.
Starting point is 00:10:12 It was all stored in there. And I guess we were so tired that night that we made the mistake of not putting the cooler in the truck in the escalate. So that's probably what set this whole thing in motion. So I was exhausted and everybody else was true. So we went to bed. And until this day, I cannot figure out what woke me up that night.
Starting point is 00:10:37 But I remember waking up. I'm not 100% sure what time it was because this was before the age of cell phones. I didn't have a cell phone or anything. It was 2005. So it was just entering that error. But I was 15. I didn't have a cell phone with me. You know, kids didn't have cell phones.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Then it's not like today. and I remember waking up and I just had this terrible feeling like something was fucking wrong. And I turned to my right, which was where my uncle was sleeping off to the side of me. And I noticed he was already up. And the tent that we had, because you know the mountains in Massachusetts during that time of year, you get that cool breeze blowing at night, you want the top off, it blows right on your face, keeps you nice and comfortable at night. but there was, you know, see-through mesh that it wasn't a big tent.
Starting point is 00:11:27 So if you sat up, you could see through to the outside. And I remember seeing his face and he was ghost white. And he was staring at something. And I nudged him to ask him, you know, what was going on because I've never seen a look of concern on this man's face like that before. And I automatically knew something was really fucking wrong. and then I turned my head to see what he was looking at. And that's when I saw two of them.
Starting point is 00:12:02 And I let out a gas because I was not prepared for what I had just looked at. And they were fucking massive. So my uncle's escalade. I remember the one, its waist, was up to the window on the driver's side. so this thing was towering over the escalate like it could probably see over the escalate no problem
Starting point is 00:12:31 like in a clear view and the other one was staring at my uncle and it did not look happy and I gasped and it was just involuntary I had no way to control it and that's when it turned its attention to me and the crazy thing was
Starting point is 00:12:52 once it did that its whole demeanor changed it went from looking pissed off and angry to gentle. I guess that's the best way I could put it. And that's what was the craziest part about it. It was, you know, I've always had the type of a baby face when I was younger. So it must have realized I was just a kid at the time. And I don't know if that's what it was, but that's how I reasoned it.
Starting point is 00:13:22 that it realized he had a kid with him and it like not you know it turned it down it didn't want to scare me and I remember when I first looked at it my stomach turned
Starting point is 00:13:36 like my nerves were just all bunched up and it was almost like I was going to throw up because I was just so scared I was trembling and it was like I just I didn't know what was happening it was like being in a horror movie where you just couldn't I didn't know anything about the stuff then.
Starting point is 00:13:54 You know, I grew up in the suburbs of Long Island. Nobody talks about that stuff there. So it was like my brain was just trying to process what I was looking at. And when I couldn't find an answer, I was starting to freak out. And the other crazy part was once its demeanor change, there was this calmness that rushed over me. And I don't know what caused it because I went from freaking out almost having a panic attack. to this warm, relaxed feeling. And once that happened,
Starting point is 00:14:30 my uncle finally snapped out of the trance he was in. And once he saw me looking at it, he pulled me back and just kind of shoved my face into the sleeping bed. And I remember him saying, don't fucking move. And that's when I heard it speak. It was just one work. And I will remember it.
Starting point is 00:14:54 It's seared into my brain. And it said, Enoch. At least that's how I remember Enoch. And I don't know if it was talking to the other one or what. But right after that, I heard some commotion. And these things tore us out of our camp. And I don't know why I got up to look again, but I did. These things covered 300 yards and probably four seconds.
Starting point is 00:15:20 And the crazy thing was it took our cooler with them. Because I guess it must have been the one side of the cooler had a hinge that was broken, the clamp. So it never stayed close. So I guess it looked in there, saw all the goodies that we had. And it was like, well, I'm not, this is coming with us, whether you like it or not. And I remember as it ran into the woods, it sounded like a fucking bulldozer was going through those woods. and what creep me out even more as it went into the woods,
Starting point is 00:15:55 there were three more sets of eyeshine that came over as soon as these things entered the woods. I don't know if it was like they were watching out for them or what, so there was five altogether. And just the fact that I knew that there was five of these things out there, I was freaking out.
Starting point is 00:16:11 And I remember after it left that calmness feeling just left and I was back into panic mode and I was begging my uncle to just please leave. And that was the first time I, normally he's like, I just suck it up. You know, it's going to be okay. Don't be scared. He said, fuck it. We didn't even take the tent.

Starting point is 00:19:44 And, you know, that's when they knew something was wrong Because from my uncle of all people to be knocking on your door At whatever time it was In a panic, something is wrong. So thankfully, they were nice enough to let us stay there that night But we left the next morning very early. my uncle didn't want anything to do with it
Starting point is 00:20:03 and that was the last time we ever went there he never wanted to go back to that place after and this was probably one of his favorite spots aside from Kinatini that he enjoyed going to and he wouldn't talk about it with me the whole right home he didn't want to speak of it
Starting point is 00:20:22 it was like he just wanted to forget it and I remember his escalade had a sunroof and he pulled the sunroof back as we were driving down the mountain in the shade and I was looking at it as the sunroof was opening and before the glass opened once the shade pulled back there was a perfect handprint on the glass and it was so big it was pretty much overlapping the sunroof
Starting point is 00:20:51 that's how big this this print was so after that he was refused to talk about it with me. And I had so many questions because I wanted to know what the hell happened that night because I still have nightmares about it until this day. I'm not ashamed to admit that. There's still times I go to bed and it's like I'm back in that place or it's some type of similar scenario and I'll wake up in a cold sweat because it freaks me the fuck out. And unfortunately he's he's passed away now. But even when I knew he was coming to the end, I figured I wanted to give this one more shot to talk about it with him. He wouldn't do it even when he was on his deathbed.
Starting point is 00:21:34 He wanted nothing to do it that night ever again. He refused to talk about it. He was the type that didn't like anything he couldn't rationally explain. He was a very devoted Catholic. And if it couldn't be explained by God or some other reasonable scientific explanation, he didn't want anything to do with it. And he would get angry at me because there were times over the years I begged him to just talk about it with me. could see if he both saw the same thing, you know, did we really both see this? Did that really
Starting point is 00:22:03 happen? And he would get angry and he would just don't, I don't want to talk about it. And that was the end of it. So it kind of bugs me that we never really had a serious conversation about it till this day. You know, and that'll never happen. But, um, yeah, that night was, that was something. It was bizarre. It really, really was. You know, you go from thinking the world is one way. one minute to having that all shattered in just a few moments, it messes you up pretty good. It really, really does. And I don't talk about it with most people anyway, because I know how people are about it, and I just, I don't want to, I don't have the patience for it.
Starting point is 00:22:46 You know, the way I'm thinking is, you know, if you want to be ignorant and just refuse to believe that these things are out there, that's, I'm not going to sit there and beg you to believe it. I know what I saw. You know, it's scary that these things are out there and we're being looked at as the crazy ones. There's something really wrong with that. It was just so impressive how big they were. That's what really got me, how fucking massive these things were. I'm sorry for the curse words. I grew up in Italian family, so it's a second language to me. but yeah that was a that was a hell of a night that's for sure tj that's that's wild that's i mean but first off i'm sorry you lost your your uncle oh thank you firstly it was
Starting point is 00:23:47 i i appreciate that so just the one last detail that uh i don't forget to tell you definitely after we left about a week later we got a call from the person that right in the campsite, saying that our cooler was found in the parking field, and the doors were ripped off the hinges. And they, you know, they called my uncle, and they were yelling at him, why did you do that and leave your cooler there? And he's, you know, he tried, I don't know what exactly he told them. But, um, I don't know if he said a barred out into it or something like that. It was something wrong those lines because he didn't even want to tell those people what he saw. and I think he was more pissed because
Starting point is 00:24:28 I think he knew that the people that run that camp site knew these things are there just when I go back and look at it this is not the first time they've done that. This is not the first time those things have gone
Starting point is 00:24:39 into somebody's camp and took something or the first time they had an interaction with people at that campsite they were way too calm about it even though like I said
Starting point is 00:24:49 they had that one had the grimacing face just that fuck around and find out face when he was looking at my uncle, you could tell it was just like posture and like just let me do what I'm going to do
Starting point is 00:25:00 and I'm going to leave, you know? But the other scary thing was, you know, when you look back and realize it, just those two things alone could have tore ass through that entire campsite and nobody would have been able to do anything about it. They could have done anything they wanted to to those campsites or anybody that was there that night
Starting point is 00:25:19 and nobody wouldn't be able to stop them. Just the size of them and the muscular, the muscles they had on them, I don't think anybody could have done anything. And by the time somebody called for help, it would have been too late. And I think that's what scared me the most. How powerless, you know, I felt in that situation.
Starting point is 00:25:39 I had no control over it, and I'm the type of person that doesn't like that. I have to be in control of certain things, or I just am not cool with it. And knowing I was just completely powerless to everything that was happening that night is what really, I think, pushed it over for me. That's what really just fucked everything up for me, camping-wise,
Starting point is 00:26:00 and I don't enjoy it the same way that I used to. Or if I do go camping, I know it's going to be in a really well-populated area where, you know, it's not super dense woods or anything like that because I just can't enjoy it anymore. And it sucks that it's like that, but it's just that every time, like I get into a, you know, a dense area like that, that's feeling just, replays on my head of how I felt with that the pure terror that was flowing through me that night
Starting point is 00:26:29 and I just can't do it. I can't deal with it. But yeah, sorry, I just wanted to add that in before I forgot. My ADHD brain skips over details. It's hard. I totally get that. I'm right there with you. Wow, that is an extremely intense encounter. Thank you for sharing that. It sounds like you haven't really shared it to many people at all.
Starting point is 00:26:59 And like I said, it's because I just don't want to deal with it really cool. Right. You know, because it's something I take seriously because it did affect me in a very physical way, not just emotionally. You know, it affected me in a physical way. So it's even talk to anybody that's just going to sit there and laugh at you, it's, I'll snap. Because I know how I felt that night and I'm not going to deal with somebody make in front of it. You know, if I know somebody really wants to hear it, I will tell it. But to just some random person now, that's why I was comfortable to come on here because I,
Starting point is 00:27:33 I listened to your episodes and I saw how serious you take this. You know, I know this is the hobby for you. No, this is it, man. Dude, this is it for, I'm not even kidding. For the next 30 years, at least, this is it. Like, I take it extremely seriously. So is it okay if I ask you a few questions about things from that night? It sounds like you got a pretty good look at the two creatures.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Do you remember any details about how the face looked? I know you've said that you saw emotions, but do you remember anything, any other details? Yeah, so the one thing was why I was able to make them out so clearly was because, our campfire was still going just enough that it was shining light on them. And the creepiest part was the one that was standing on the opposite side of the fire. I could see its hair, which it had like, it was almost like a reddish brown. But the fire was causing it to also have eyes shine at the same time. So this thing was no more than 10 yards away for me, but it was staring at me with its eyes glowing.
Starting point is 00:28:50 And that's probably what set me off to just go into panic mode because it was just so not normal the way it was, you know, it was like a staring hole for my soul type of thing. And then the other one that was off to the side by my uncle's truck. It was also the same. It had reddish brown hair. And that was the bigger one. I think that one, if I'm looking back at it in my head, that one probably had a foot in a head. half on the other one, maybe a little more. I couldn't tell the eye color on that one because of how dark it was, and it was far enough from the fire that it, I guess, to angle it was at, was it catching that eye shine? I don't know if the light has to hit the eyes a certain way for that to happen, but I remember you could see this part of the face here,
Starting point is 00:29:47 and everything else was just hair. like it had a super long beard. And then the long hair that kind of went back at its head, it was kind of matted, but it was also, it seemed like it was well kept. It looked on some places like sleek, like it was being brushed almost. Like they take care of themselves.
Starting point is 00:30:11 The hands were massive. And I could tell that even before we found that handprint on the window of the sunroof. I mean, it could probably put its whole hand around my head and squish it, no problems, especially then when I was 15. Also, the arms were insanely long. I remember that, like abnormally long compared to us. I couldn't tell where they, how far they went down,
Starting point is 00:30:48 but because they were kind of like this. Their arms weren't down at their sides. They were up in the air. So I don't know, you know, I know a lot of people say they go below the knees. I would have to say they probably definitely did. But I can't say it for sure because, like I said, they weren't hanging down. They weren't like just standing there.
Starting point is 00:31:09 You could tell they were investigating our campsite. They were trying to figure out what they could take from us. At least that's what I think they were doing, especially since they just took the whole cooler and ran off. And the other thing that I know that the arms weren't single lung, because this thing picked up an insanely large, a glue cooler, like it was carrying a baby, and ran off with ease. So the muscle, and this thing was packed with ice.
Starting point is 00:31:40 I mean, it was only there for a night, and those things held ice for days. So the fact that this thing picked it up at one hand and just kind of punched it over on its side, like it was nothing, and ran off was just, it was nuts. When, you know,
Starting point is 00:31:56 when I go back and think about it, just knowing how much weight that probably had that, me and my uncle, two people were having trouble lifting that thing, and this thing picked it up like a baby. That's, that's scary. That's a scary level of strength right there. The one thing I don't remember is the feet.
Starting point is 00:32:22 okay i don't remember looking down there i was so focused on the face and the body that i i just didn't look down there um i would have to say they were male that i would have to say um i didn't notice any female features on them um they were definitely you know broad chested for sure you know you tell there was a lot of muscle up here and that was i mean the hair on it was really thick. So the fact you could see the muscle under the hair was really impressive. Did you, I know you already kind of talked about how, how they were in, you know, how looking at the escalade and how one of them looked next to it. If you had to estimate, like, how tall each of them were, would you be able to estimate the height of them?
Starting point is 00:33:18 the big one had to be easily over 10 feet over um because i know the top of the escalade i think is about six feet maybe six two if i'm remembering right um and this thing towered over it i mean it was just it was almost comical how how much bigger this thing was that and it escalates that small car um truck i mean it it's big so the fact this thing just towered over it and And like I said, it's hip was at the glass, like the window of the passenger side. So that should give you an idea of how massive this thing was. Because me standing at the, I'm 5-11. So me standing at the passenger side of an escalate probably goes up to here on the least.
Starting point is 00:34:17 So the fact that that was its waste, I mean, shit. Yeah. I can't give you an accurate number, but just a guesstimate, it had to be over 10 feet. Were you able to notice, did you notice anything about the mouth? Like, could you see teeth, anything I thought? Yes, I could see teeth from the first one because it was almost like a smile when it was looking at my uncle, but it wasn't a smile. It was like, I have a husky. So if my husky goes after prey, you know how its lip comes up, you know, a dog, and it shows its teeth, that's what it.

Starting point is 00:38:21 I don't know the color of the lips were I really don't it was you know this is a weird combination of being a blur and steered into my mind at the same time if that makes sense
Starting point is 00:38:35 absolutely yeah seeing the the teeth on one of the creatures were you able to see what the shape of the teeth Were it all? Our teeth.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Okay. That was the first thing I noticed. Our teeth, really? Yes. Just much bigger. And so that being that, like how they were rounded? Yeah, no, I mean, it's, it's jaw. It looked like they go like that.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Really? It didn't look like they flat or anything like that. It looked like they curved to the side almost. You were able to see the eyes, correct? Yes. Did you notice anything about the pupils? So the one, I couldn't see. it's people because like I said, it was given off that eyes shine glow.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Right. The other one, they just look black. Now, I don't know if that was, because it was dark, but I didn't notice really any white in them. It just looked black. Like, it was like staring into a hole almost. The nose of the creatures, did you notice anything out of the ordinary about the nose, like how it was shaped, more like a gorilla, more like a human? It looked more like, you know how we have like a ridge here? There's look more like it went down.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Like this didn't stick out as much. Okay. It went like that type of thing. Oh, so it's flat, flattened? Yeah. Yeah. The bridge with the nose didn't look like it was there. What about the forehead above the eyes of that area?
Starting point is 00:40:18 How would you describe that? That was just skin. Okay. There was no hair that I could notice. And I did notice that the one when it was snarling at my uncle, you could see the wrinkles in its forehead. And they were so common. It looked like it had like almost extra skin there. Like when it did that, you could clearly see the bumps from it doing that.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Gotcha. You were able to see hair on the creatures. It sounded like how long would you estimate that the hair was? I could compare it to my husky. Okay. It was like a husky length hair. Gotcha. So a few inches?
Starting point is 00:41:04 Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You mentioned that there's almost like kind of a main of hair or were you able to see a shape to the head through that? I didn't notice that it didn't go like, you know, our heads are like rounded. Right. It looked like a lot more. before it went back.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Okay. Trying to think what to compare that to. I don't know. It just looked like elongated almost. It almost looked like it was elongated at the top. Like there was extra, like their skulls weren't rounded at the top. Was this your first introduction to anything with Bigfoot? Yes.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Okay. So this is where it's interesting because any other person that I asked that question, they would have been like this. But the fact that you have to like think of how to describe that, man, it's very, yeah, wow. So this is your first, this incident is your first foray into Bigfoot. It's not like you're watching the documentaries and in search of like this is not you. Wow. Like I said, I looked at the suburbs of Long Island, Hockland was my life.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Yeah. Oh, man. I didn't watch it on the state channel like other people do. I was always outdoors, you know, that that's what, that's where, that's where I. I lived with my friends. We were on our bikes, you know, causing some type of mischief. We're playing video games or I didn't even know it was a thing. That's really why it.
Starting point is 00:42:43 So the only mythology that I knew before this was, I don't know if you've ever heard of snipes. Yeah. It's not real. Absolutely. It's almost made up around the camp fire to scare kids. And when we would go on these camping trips, like I said, there was always a big group of us at night. They used to take the kids snipe hunting. And the adults would hide in the forest and they would jump out and scare us.
Starting point is 00:43:08 That's the most I knew about anything. Wow. That was that. This is very, very wild. The way that the creature looked to you, is just something that you would more see in like a zoo type setting or like you would almost see, like you could be walking in the city and you might see a person that looks. kind of similar to how they looked. There were features about it that are definitely human. But if you saw one of these things walking in the city, you're going to know.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Okay. It was that different. I guess un-evolved is the best way. It's like almost human, but not modern human. Okay. Yep. I wouldn't say caveman, but I guess somewhere in between that. Were there anything you noticed about the creatures that reminded you of different apes or monkeys that you would see in the zoo?
Starting point is 00:44:21 I'm going to get flack for that question, but I'm just going to ask it. No. No, this thing didn't look like that. I mean, I guess there were some similarities, but no. No, I would never go to a zoo and think a gorilla look like Bigfoot or a chimp. No. Or like an orangutan. I'm not going to sit here and say that they all look the same.
Starting point is 00:44:45 You know, I don't, who the fuck knows that? Right. But no, I wouldn't mistake in a guinea or a chimp for it. It sounds like you saw them move a bit. Was there anything about the way that they moved that was weird, like the way that they were running or walking, anything out of the ordinary about their gate? From what I saw, it was, I hope this is the right word,
Starting point is 00:45:14 methodic every movement looked like it was for aries and the other crazy thing that I noticed was when they ran off I didn't hear a fucking thing and you would think something that big
Starting point is 00:45:34 until they got to the forest that's when I heard them crash into trees before that when they were running through the field I didn't hear anything it was almost like they were running in silent mode. And I couldn't explain that. Because, like I said, as big as these things were, if they were running,
Starting point is 00:45:53 you would think you would hear it. And it was like almost somehow they were running in a way that they weren't making sound, which really creep me out when I thought about it. You know, the longer time goes on, you start thinking about stuff and start analyzing things a little differently. And the more I put the details together, the more creeps me out. because the fact one of these things can run and not make a noise i mean you could be in the middle of the forest one of these things will sneak up on you and i'm not fucking know what's there yeah
Starting point is 00:46:29 and the fact something that big can do that is crazy it is wild um so you having no introduction to bigfoot before this did you have anything in your mind then that told you okay what am i looking at right now or you were just you had no idea what you were looking at what you were looking at. I didn't know. I had not a clue. To me, it was like a monster. That was how my brain was reasoning it at the moment. It was like a real life monster. It was like something out of a Stephen King novel, Stephen King novel had come to life. You've already mentioned that you do have nightmares about this continuously. And so that was, I'm going to guess, I mean, what's been going on for like 20 years?
Starting point is 00:47:24 Yeah, it's been a while. Okay. Is it just a replaying of the events, usually when you have those? Sometimes I am back in that scenario. Other times it's something completely different. But I am in the woods, and I know something is coming. And I could hear it, and I know what it is. And I'm panicking the whole dream.
Starting point is 00:47:53 and then it's almost like right before I see it I wake up. Do they ever talk to you in the dreams or anything like that? Every once in a while I'll hear that one word that I mentioned to you. The word, Enoch. Yeah. Enoch Enoch or something like that. It was the fact that it talked was just fucking weird. Because of how deep it was.
Starting point is 00:48:24 It wasn't like me and you talking right now. Right. It had so much base in its voice. Have you ever looked into what that word might mean? No, I'm not even sure it's a real word. It is, I can tell you, it's a real word. It's a religious word. The book of Enoch has to do with,
Starting point is 00:48:54 it's one of the books that weren't put into the canon of the body. Bible and has to do with things like the Nephilim, which is like the giants you may have heard of. And some people think that those are related to Bigfoot. But it's very, very interesting that that's, excuse me, the one word that they said. That's going to take me a while to process that for sure. I'm very familiar with that area since my grandparents lived in Great Barrington. So I spent...
Starting point is 00:49:38 It is a beautiful area. I was not into Bigfoot at the time because I was a little kid. But I'm very familiar with the Great Barrington area. My father grew up there. Western Massachusetts is extremely wild. And I have no doubt in my mind that there are Bigfoot in Western Massachusetts, especially around that area. I'm pretty sure I'm aware of which that bear mountain area.
Starting point is 00:50:09 There's a few different places it might be. But it's, man, I was just imagining the woods out there, you know, the phrase is that there be dragons out in western Massachusetts because it is wild out there. Massachusetts is not just Boston. It is you get out. That's not a place you want to be at night with no flashlight. I remember one of the first times I ventured up that far as a kid. That's when I found out what a true darkness was.
Starting point is 00:50:41 Absolutely. Absolutely. And, you know, we went hiking in an area. We went camping out in this meadow and we were just camping in the middle of this meadow. And one night we had a pack of coyotes just like run through the middle of the field, jump over, people sleeping bags like it's a wild place out there have you ever done any research to see if there are any other incidents that happened in that same area bigfoot related browsed um the problem is um i couldn't figure out how to use some of the maps um like there's one i know
Starting point is 00:51:19 i stumbled across that was like woody or something like that but i think those settings were only limited to like the middle um like texas yeah they're going to be more oklahoma Texas, yep. I come across a couple years ago, this one map that gave so many sightings, and I can't find it again. But it had a lot in the northeast area. And I remember trying to look one night, and it was like really fidgety. So it crashed a lot, and I had kind of given up on it.
Starting point is 00:51:52 And then I went to find it again, and it was gone. But it looked like, you know that, one picture floating around that shows the sightings and it's like the whole United States. Yeah. It looked like in the aspect of the markers that they used, the little Bigfoot. That's what it exactly looked like on that map that I pulled up that night except it was virtual. And you could zoom in places and see the reports. One, you could look up that would be really similar to that.
Starting point is 00:52:22 And that's really good is if you go to Bigfootmap.com, it's Bigfoot mapping project. and it takes data from all different parts of places, and that would give you the info that you'd be looking for for sure. I'm not going to lie for a while. I was too scared to look. Yeah. No, I bet. I mean, when you bring these feelings back out in yourself,
Starting point is 00:52:48 it's hard to deal with. This is Daniel Fischel. And Ryder Strong from PodMeets World. Cat parents unite. We have to look out for each other.

Starting point is 00:56:17 Yeah. I mean, you just wait until you find out where I live here in a minute. You have heard of Uari? You live in North Carolina? Oh, sorry. It's okay. You live in the UR National Forest? Ten minutes above it.

Starting point is 00:57:05 really yeah i will definitely Let me make a note of that real quick. If you ever are out this way, there's a, I get the name of the road, but the rest stop is called El Dorado. Yep. And it's right in the middle of you are in National Forest and the entire store is dedicated to Bigfoot. Exactly. Yeah. I've talked to a few, at least one person that lives in the middle of that forest.
Starting point is 00:57:36 And they were, I mean, their house was being just, well, attacked by some creature, which they feel is Bigfoot, and it's because they were pretty much doing landscaping on their property. So you live a few minutes away from there. That's wild. Has you ever gone to the forest, done any hiking in there? Not yet. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:03 Yeah. It's going to take some courage to must work for that one. But, I mean, I can't say that the whole area, you know, write it off because they, have off-road trails there. They have really nice cabins for camping, and then there's bed and lake that you could just go pull your RV right up next to it. And I mean, I would be stupid to not use that just because, you know, what happened. And, you know, I got two kids now that are going to want to experience all that stuff, you
Starting point is 00:58:31 know. I'm not going to keep them inside and not look to go experience nature because something happened to me, you know? Exactly. Yeah. that's not the only thing that you've had happened to you big for related yeah yeah so that was last year before the birth of my second son we um went out to tennessee to um stay up in the mountains um to go see dolly world and you know that whole area down there is just a tourist trap so um
Starting point is 00:59:13 you know, my wife couldn't do much because she was two months away from giving birth. So we found this nice cabin in the woods, the one that I had sent you. And I remember when we got there that night, I had that feeling again. And it was, I chalked it up to, this is just the first time I've been in that remote of an area in a very long time. So it was my nerves playing with me. Now, this one is not as exciting as the previous one. but um it's more it's scary but um i remember my father-in-law went out to smoke his um cigar that night and he came in and he said he saw something staring at him from the woods and what about it was
Starting point is 00:59:59 like oh you got to be fucking kidding me you know please don't tell me that that's happening again um so i just didn't want to didn't want to know i didn't want to know so i went to bed that night with my wife, my kid, I was just focused on, you know, having a smooth night because it was our first night there. At 2 a.m. So the way this house was set up was, it was like three stories.
Starting point is 01:00:26 We were the bottom bedroom on the bottom floor of the house, which is pretty much even with the mountain. And there's a depth that comes out. But after the deck, there's probably like a 20 foot drop that goes off.
Starting point is 01:00:41 And then there's another level that had a hot tub and a swing that was a Western-style horse saddle. And then there was another story on top of that. At 2 a.m., I heard the most terrifying roar ever that it woke me out of a dead sleep. And followed by that, it felt like somebody pulled the side of the house off. shortly after that it sounded like something was thrown through the woods so
Starting point is 01:01:22 my father in my husband was an ex-marine so he's something is going on he's going to go investigate it something ripped the swing and these were still changed that were bolted into
Starting point is 01:01:38 the beams of the house something ripped the horse saddle off the house and threw it about 80 yards into the woods. And I knew the sound. Once it yelled or whatever the fuck it did, I knew the sound and I knew what it was. And I probably sat there in bed for about 10 minutes
Starting point is 01:02:01 just unable to move because I knew what was happening. And then I heard a whole bunch of commotion upstairs and my stepdad was screaming, and my stepdad my father-in-law was screaming. And I knew what was going on. on. And I felt bad because I just went into that panic state. My wife was trying to figure out what the fuck was happening. And I couldn't even answer her. And then my kid was crying because it woke him up. And I'm not kidding, it's not like,
Starting point is 01:02:30 because the side of the house would pull off. And I don't know what set it off. I don't know what set it off. I guess we just pissed it off somehow. But, you know, this was an Airbnb. be. We had to let us know what happens because they were going to come back to the next team, but what did you guys do? You know, so my father-in-law called him to tell him
Starting point is 01:02:58 something happened, something came and ripped the horse thing off. And this guy was way too cool about it. Way too cool about it. Didn't blame us for it. Didn't say, oh, well, you're going to have to pay for that. He just said, I'm sorry, that happened. And that was the end of the conversation.
Starting point is 01:03:17 that was it. That was it. Thankfully, nothing else happened the rest of the trip, but I don't know why it picked our cabin that night. I don't know what set it off, but something pissed it off so bad that it ripped that thing out like it was a toy. And they found it. I mean, they found the chains, and it, like, wrapped up all around the saddle,
Starting point is 01:03:42 and it was probably about 80 yards of this too. It wasn't light. It was not like anything that could throw that. thing that far, shit. It's terrifying. It really is. Just the raw strength that these things
Starting point is 01:03:59 have scares the shit out of me. And I think that's what what scares me about them the most. Is that if you ever come up against one that's pissed off like that, what are you going to do? I don't give a shit what you have on. You ain't going to be quick enough
Starting point is 01:04:14 to do whatever you need to do. If it's close enough to you, you're done. That's game over right there. And I think that's what scares me the most, knowing that something could have you that powerless. And was that around like the
Starting point is 01:04:37 Seaverville Pigeon Forge area? Yep. Severeville? Severeville. Really? Yep. I knew it, dude. Yep.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Because I've had another report similar setup, Airbnb, log cabin type deal. Um, I just, I just had a feeling, dude. Wow, that is the crazy thing is that he's like, he's pretty much like, oh, happened again. Yeah. That was basically it.
Starting point is 01:05:15 That was basically it. That's, that's the gist that I got from, you know, my father, I'll call him expecting to be yelled at and he was going to have to argue with him that he didn't do it. And this guy was just like, oh, shit. Dude, I'll tell you what, that area of Tennessee, uh, there's some wild stuff. that goes on in that area and more than more than Bigfoot too.
Starting point is 01:05:43 They call them the ridge walkers. And I mean, that's pretty much what they're doing. I mean, there's no flat land over there. It's a disaster. I mean, living up there, you know, it's, I don't know how people do it. I mean, it's beautiful.
Starting point is 01:06:00 Don't get me wrong, but I prefer flat land. Yeah, you come out to Iowa. It's pretty flat out here. Yeah. Oh, that's wild. T.J. Man, dude, you have gone through some wild, wild stuff. And, like, you know, I'm not going to lie to you.
