Head on over to patreon.com forward slash the Bigfoot Society, and now let's get on with the show. All right, Bigfoot Society, I've got a privilege of talking to an individual that many listeners have reached out to me over the years to get on the podcast. And it's just, it's gotten to the point.
Starting point is 00:02:07 We had to make it happen. So Mr. Tom Cantrell is here. And it's a pleasure to have you with us today, Tom. Well, thank you very much. I'm very happy to be here. It's always fun to talk about Sasquatch. Oh, you know, that's what I love to do, too. So I'm glad I'm in good company.
Starting point is 00:02:24 but so you are out in the Pacific Northwest, correct, Tom? Yes, I am. I live in western Washington now. I live for 30 years over in the southeast part of Washington in the desert. And now I'm over on the wet side again, although you wouldn't know it by the weather of the last week or so. It's been hot. You know, I've heard that.
Starting point is 00:02:46 I'm actually headed out to a small town called Oak Ridge. Oh, yeah. Next week for a festival. and I was looking at the weather over there, and it's over 100 degrees. And I'm like, oh, my goodness, this is, this could get a little wild out there. But we'll see. It should be a great time. So I'm looking forward to it.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Well, it's a little lower today. It's only 82 right now. Yeah, all right. Where it's been in the 90s. So, yeah. Tom, you've got a really interesting background. You've been involved with all sorts of things. You've been involved with, you have a military background, correct?
Starting point is 00:03:24 Right. I spent nine years in the Navy on submarines and I got out of the Navy in 1970 and I was living on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington at the time. And probably the main reason I got out after nine years was they wanted me to go back to South Carolina again. I said, hey, there's no welcome South Carolina. I know I've looked. They're all over here. So I stayed, yeah, stayed and started college, started college in Fort Angeles, Washington, then transferred the University of Washington, got my degree in logging engineering. And that said, I have never worked a day as an employee of a company as a logging engineer. when I got out, I found out what they paid. And I was making more money just with my little Jepo logging outfit than what they wanted to pay me.
Starting point is 00:04:30 But I did do a lot of consulting work, especially bridge site surveys in the state of Washington. If you're going to build a road that crosses the stream used by an agamous fish runs, that's a fish that are born in freshwater and go to sea and then come back to freshwater to spawn like salmon steelhead or not lingcod but oh sorry that may have jumped out of the mind
Starting point is 00:05:00 but that type of fish you have to have a permit from the state and in order to get that you have to do you have to survey the stream and submit a design and that's what that'd be hired to do most times. I did a lot of property line work too,
Starting point is 00:05:21 but it was mostly bridge site surveys. And in those days, in those times, it was in old growth timber, so I'd be hiking back in a minimum of four miles, generally five or six or seven miles, because the ones that long side of the road, their company engineers took care of, they hired me for the ones that had the long hike.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Well, I found out real quick. The last thing you want to do is hike in, do your survey, and that consisted of screenflow, bed type, you know, soil, rock, whatever, and what you were going to use for abutments and how the bridge was going to be built, all of that. And I found real quick that the last thing you wanted to do was hike in, get all your measurements, and hike back out, sit down at the table, and figure out you forgot to get one measurement. So what I would do is when I got everything I thought I needed,
Starting point is 00:06:21 I'd sit down and do a rough drawing. And it was at that time that I started seeing them. They would get curious about what I was doing, sitting there alone in the timber, where nobody had been for 400 or 500 years, you know. And here's this guy sitting here doing this, doing something and they'd sneak in and peek around trees at me.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Now I'd been interested in them for many, many years prior to this. It started with the Jerry Crew incident in Northern California in 1958 and that's what lit my fire. That was in an area not far from where I lived and it really caught my interest. And I really caught my interest in,
Starting point is 00:07:09 And I read everything I could get from then until after I was still in high school time. I was 15 years old when that happened. And then joined the Navy right out of high school. And when you're on a submarine, you don't have a whole lot of time, there's not a lot of opportunity to physically look for Sasquatch. But after they got me up on the peninsula, yeah, I did. And that's when I started seeing them. And it was a great time.
Starting point is 00:07:38 It was a lot of fun. Wow. And I got to... Sorry, so when I just wanted to clarify something. So when you said you started seeing them, that's when you're talking about Bigfoot or Sasquatch, correct? Yes. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:54 They'd come down and when I was sitting there, they'd peek around the tree at me. For a long time, I thought they only had one eye, just went from one side of their head to the other, because that's all I ever saw. But finally one day... My friend and I, it was September. I was shut down logging for Firewatch, fire season, and he had a day off, and so we decided to go grouse hunting. Well, grouse hunting in September is an excuse to be in the woods when the elk are bugling. If you've never done that, you need to do it.
Starting point is 00:08:34 It's absolutely magnificent. You haven't lived. to you watch those big bulls bugling. And we happened on a herd of about 100 elk, and the herd bowl was a big five point, and we followed them all probably for three or four hours, and finally came to a clear cut, and kind of had them box in the corner of the timber
Starting point is 00:08:58 with a clear cut on two sides, and they either had to go out in the clerk out or come back by us and about half of them did each. And that five point was up on a ridge in the clear cut, bugling his throat out, trying to get his cows,
Starting point is 00:09:18 his ladies back together again. And he was not happy. So we decided it was time to leave them alone. Of course, we'd gotten separated by that time. Jerry was somewhere else, but that happened a lot with us. He was a forester also, so we could navigate anywhere in that timber without out having to worry about one of us getting lost.
Starting point is 00:09:43 And I was working my way back alone, and I saw an opening ahead of me, and generally that means a waterhole. And it's always curious to see what's around a waterhole, so I decided to sneak in on it. and I got right to the edge of it and a great big spruce tree there and I just kind of sneaked up behind that and peaked around and it wasn't the waterhole it was an area blown down timber
Starting point is 00:10:12 about five, six acres and there were two bears I thought if they were sitting there eating mushrooms and then one of them stood up and that was still bear he was about probably 40, 45 yards
Starting point is 00:10:29 from me. And great big male Sasquatch. He looked around, made sure everything was all right, and kneeled back down and started eating the oyster mushroom to grow on down trees. They're delicious.
Starting point is 00:10:45 I envied him. And then his mate stood up. She looked around and backed down. And I had about 30 minutes probably to watch them like this. And then in that time, they moved to within about oh, 30, 35 yards of me.
Starting point is 00:11:02 And then I felt a gust of wind hit the back of my neck. And I was, oh, busted. And I had four eyeballs just snapped to me. So I just stepped out from the seat from that big spirit tree. And just to let him know it was me there. And I'm just here watching you.
Starting point is 00:11:21 I thought, you know, I'd like to learn from you. Well, he stepped back. And he allowed the female to step in front of him to go back. into the timber and went as she did she picked up a baby and just put it on her chest and he held on while she made her way back in the timber and I yelled out I said thank you for sharing your family with me and he turned around and I swear he he nodded at me I really to this day and that's been this 172 I think so to this day you know 52 years later I still think that he nodded at me before before he turned
Starting point is 00:11:59 back into the timber. That was quite a... And that's the first time I ever got to see them full on 100% from head to toe and to sit and watch with them. That happened many times since then, but that was the first time. It was absolutely fantastic, as you can imagine. Tom, that is absolutely incredible. I want to ask a question that to some people is going to sound really silly.
Starting point is 00:12:29 but I'm just going to ask it. So you're in the early 70s from what you just said. I'm guessing as of that time you had no electronic devices on you, correct? I had nothing, no, not at all.
Starting point is 00:12:45 I think I had a little camera. But there's, you know, something like a sure shot or, you know, nothing fancy at all. Do you think that because you didn't, there seems to be a conversation coming up in the community where people are wondering, I think, if they go into these areas without electronic devices on
Starting point is 00:13:11 them, do you think that's connected at all, Tom? Absolutely, absolutely. Leave that stuff at home. If you want to have an experience, leave the electronics at home. You know, I carry a camera, but they know, me now and they know I'm not good. I'm not even going to take a picture of the countryside unless I ask permission first. And even if there's nothing around, I will ask permission because I know they're watching me. They watch me 100% of the time I'm in there. And I always ask, I'm going to take a picture now as that's all right. And if I don't hear anything contrary, then I'll go ahead and do it now. But always, and that's all right. And that's all right.
Starting point is 00:14:00 I ever carry, the most I ever carry, is a camera. I don't carry anything else. It's just, I found out many, many years ago that you carry electronics and they'll just avoid you. Who was your mentor in the field of Bigfoot? Nobody. I just had to learn everything on my own as I went. As far as I knew, I was the only person that was even doing any study on them at all. My friend that I was with that day, he didn't believe in him.
Starting point is 00:14:34 He thought they were a joke. My family just wanted to make fun of anything that I found. So I quit talking to them about it. And I was entirely on my own for fees until 2010. Until 20, and I finally found on the Internet, actually 20 on 9. and I found that there were other people around the country doing this. Not many then, but there were. And I found a person named Arla Williams, Arle Collette now.
Starting point is 00:15:13 And she's got to be thinking. But up to that time, I had 30 years of facts and no way to collate them. and talking to Arla, I got started being able to collate them. And that really, really helped. I helped unbelievably. I had, to the point, it was September 25th, 2010, when I met my teacher. And he is a 9-foot-3-inch Sasquatch named Akanisha. And that has just brought things together.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Now I know why. And believe in, there's still more mystery than there is fact to them. But at least I know what I'm doing, the direction I'm going. And I didn't for many, many years. It's absolutely fascinating. So it sounds like you had a good 30 years where you were investigating, researching Sasquatch by yourself and really no contact with the outside research community. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Were there any lessons that you learned during that time that you feel are just, were invaluable to figure out looking back on that time? Yeah, a lot. Number one, I learned that they're not just an animal, that they are another us. of course there was no DNA work at that time but just studying them just being with them being around them there was just too much that they did
Starting point is 00:17:04 that showed intelligence one time I was on I can't remember the name of the Keith Creek out on the west end of the Olympic Peninsula pardon me I'm 81 years old and then short-term memory is terrible Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

Starting point is 00:18:06 Crafted with cinnamon, vanilla, and nutty notes of toasted rice. Handshaking was smooth blonde espresso and finished with oat milk for a creamy touch. Made for summer. Only at Starbucks. Folks knew the colonel approved of his new honey chili crisp and jalapeno ranch sauces the moment he tasted them and said... That's right. No notes. Just absolute silence. Turns out some flavors don't need explaining. They just need dipping. It's saucy season at KFC with new honey, chili crisp and jalapeno ranch. Get dipping with a boneless bucket today. Prices in participation vary. But I was on this creek. I was late elksies, an artery elksis. And that's the reason I was out there. And I had been there most of the after.
Starting point is 00:19:08 afternoon when there was a where I was had my stand was in a little brush patch next to a major trail alongside this creek and the creek was a series in this area was a series of beaver dam there'd be a pond a dam another pond the dam and the dam and the pond behind that one right on up the creek and about oh I don't know it was probably three and in the afternoon, in that area, at that time of the year, it's dark by 4.30. So it was late in the day. I heard some splashing, and I looked down the stream, and I could see a Sasquatchewatch it in the Beaver Pond. And actually, I watched, and pretty quick, there were two of them there. And it turned out actually there were three of them before, when they got close enough to me, when they got in the pond in front of me where I could watch what they were doing.
Starting point is 00:20:10 They were running the salmon that were in the stream, Goodman Creek was the name of the creek. They were running the salmon up against the beaver dam ahead of them and then picking them up. And as I watched him, he was squeezing them
Starting point is 00:20:27 with his arm against his body and some he would keep, some he would throw back. And it took me 15, 20, 25 minutes of watching to figure out what he was doing. And what I finally realized, he squeezed them. If nothing came out, he threw them back. Those were spawned out.
Starting point is 00:20:49 But if the eggs or sperm came out, they were fresh. They hadn't spawned yet. And I don't know if you know what about salmon, but once they spawn, they start just like they've got cancer and start dying. And, I mean, they change color. They get these big open. and sores on them.
Starting point is 00:21:06 So, yeah, nobody's going to want to eat that. Well, they don't either. They're intelligent enough to know that. Then I look down in his thumbnail, he was closing up, I could see it. It looked just like a knife the way it was shaped. And he was slid him right down the middle. If they had eggs, he'd keep the eggs. If they didn't, he'd just keep the heart and the liver.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Okay. Strog throw the rest of it out. and then split the back so he had cut them on each side of the spine and then hang him over a tree limb while he threw his fissure. And when it got time to leave,
Starting point is 00:21:46 they took them all with them. That's a high degree of intelligence to do that, to fillet them out like that. Number one, to check them to see if they're spawn. Number two, to fillet them like that to dry. And they dry them just like the Indians did. and storm. So yeah, that's a high degree of intelligence there.
Starting point is 00:22:10 I knew even then. Since I met my teacher, I realized just how high it is. But at that time, I had no doubt that they were an intelligent being. Just looked kind of strange. Tom, can you share the story of how you met your teacher? Sure. Sure, like I said, it was the 25th of September, 2010. And I had been cabin-bound.
Starting point is 00:22:40 You got to remember, I lived in the desert then, and it was hot. And I didn't go out much during the heat. I worked, but the job I had was absolutely fantastic. I was 20 by 2010, I was retired. But my last job was as an engineer, estimating engineer for an asphalt company. And if it was hot, I'd go to the library or go to the contractor's office
Starting point is 00:23:12 where they put all the upcoming jobs for bid and find out what was coming up and who was bidding on it and stay in the cool. If it was cool, I'd go out and work to field somewhere. So it was a fun job. And actually, it's the most fun job I ever had my life other to fall in timber.
Starting point is 00:23:33 And doing this one, it wasn't trying to kill me with every tree they came to. But on the, that, but I retired, they forced me to retire in 2007. My heart went screwy on me. And so 2010, I was, I was going to take a trip, just a day trip, maybe stay overnight,
Starting point is 00:23:57 just to get out of the house, in September, late September, it had cooled off enough. Plus, that's the time between the end of archery elk season and the beginning of muzzleloader out of season. And it's the time when the elk are bugling the most. I mean, they're deep rut, and you never know what you're going to see. So I decided to go take this trip. And I mentioned it, Arla,
Starting point is 00:24:32 and about two days before I was going to go, she says, this road you're going on, does there a big pile of wood on that? I said, well, the road I'm going on, I've never been on. I've been on the top of the ridge, both sides of this river, Tushy River.
Starting point is 00:24:52 But I've never been on this, road because it was a Boise Cascade tree farm prior and they shut it down and needed it over to the Umatilla Indian Reservation, the tribes of the Indian Reservation. And they've had it shut while they rebuilt the road. It was in terrible condition. Now the road's finished and they've got the gate open and it's accessible and I want to just go and check it out. And she said, well, I see a large male set.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Sasquatch with a red stripe on his chest, and he's looking for you. Now, you've got to remember, Arla is very much of a shaman. She's half Cherokee, quarter chalked off, and quarter Scottish. So all three are mystics. But she has, she's amazed me in what she's done on many times. One time prior to this occasion, my heart was. giving me a bad time. Bad enough I called the paramedics.
Starting point is 00:25:59 They came, I was on the gurney, headed out the door when my phone rang in Washington. She's in eastern Oklahoma, and she says, who are those people and what's wrong with you? Now, if that doesn't blow you away, there's nothing in the world going to. And so I explained, and so she told me about this, I says, well, I'll do is I'll drive in. And if I find a pile of wood, I'll just set up there. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm just going to set up my little watch station. And when I go, when I'm researching Sasquatch, I don't go tromping in the woods, never have. What I do is I take my folding chair.
Starting point is 00:26:47 And I learned this from those early days when I was sitting there drawing up my bridge site and they'd come peek at me. I have a holding chair, I open it up, I have a nice chest with fried chicken hips and boiled eggs and diet Pepsi in it, and I have my Kindle. I open the chair, put my bottom down in it, grab a chicken hip, a boiled egg and a diet Pepsi, open my candle, and I read. And within an hour, there'll be somebody peeing around a tree at me. and usually now and that at that age I was seeing more and more of them and so I just I found that pile of timber
Starting point is 00:27:34 that she was talking about and I just set up there there was a nice little area I put my my step on the stone I've got a little older type set up that I use some it's like incense only actually
Starting point is 00:27:52 it's a it's a it smells like berries it's just great and my eagle feathers and hang them and uh then I'd just sit and wait and
Starting point is 00:28:06 about two in the afternoon I missed time for one thing on this trip I had it time all right for the elk season deer season was done but I forgot uh fall turkey season
Starting point is 00:28:20 now nobody goes says I'm going turkey hunting in September, but it's a great excuse to take the gun on the truck and go for a ride on a Saturday, okay? And that's what happened. I had four trucks past me and one set of three horses coming out of the high country there.
Starting point is 00:28:43 And about two in the afternoon. And this is the first time I've ever had them speak to me. telepathically. Okay. And I get this message. It said, I can't come out. There's too many people.
Starting point is 00:29:02 They might find, might see me. Oh, I'm sorry about that. I didn't have to be here today. It could have been Tuesday. I'm retired. This is well been a Tuesday instead of a Saturday. And I had stopped and picked a box of apples and a box of grapes for them on my way out.
Starting point is 00:29:22 and have them there. And I asked, do you need me to leave the fruit for you? If you've ever heard of Sasquatch laugh, it's worthwhile, especially when this 9-foot-3-inch of tall, got a chest like, oh, you can't believe. And his shoulders are like 54 inches apart across. So you can imagine what his chest looks like. And it's just a big rumble.
Starting point is 00:29:50 And he says, have you looked at the river? and I oh okay you could walk across the river on the salmon that were in it so no they weren't hurting for food right then he said perhaps if you brought them
Starting point is 00:30:05 in the time of the white stuff I said okay I can do that I can do that and I said it would it be just as well that I went home now and came back another day he's yes that would probably be good so that's what I did
Starting point is 00:30:21 I packed everything up put my chair away, put my ice chest away, put my Kindle away, and I had one foot in the car, I had my right foot under the steering wheel, sitting down in the driver's seat, and he stood up across the little road there, about 12 feet from me. And I wanted you to see me before you left,
Starting point is 00:30:45 to know that I'm real, and I'll contact you later on. I said, okay, we can do that. and he'd been, he just disappeared right about in there and standing right in front of me. And his head had just reached a major crossband. There was a little hawthorn tree there, and he was standing right under it. And his tree had just reached a major branch of that tree. So I was measured that just to see in these nine foot three inches tall. And I named that hawthorne tree, Nathaniel, but, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 00:31:22 else you're going to name a Hawthorne, right? And so he left, I left, and a few days later, I got to call, can you come out anytime soon? I can come out anytime you want me to, tomorrow then. So I went out and the gate was shut. It was midweek and the gate was shut into that road, but right at the end of that property. There's nobody there.
Starting point is 00:31:53 It's a big, wide open area. I parked there and walked up the road and went away and looked up on the hill, and there he is. And he has his daughter with him at this time. And she's red body. Her whole body is red hair. And she's hiding behind dad peeking around his legs at me. He's probably seven or eight years old at the time. And he said,
Starting point is 00:32:22 I know you have some concerns about what you're learning from us and your priesthood that you hold. He says, know this. We have the same creator. We serve the same creator. And I asked him, I said, well, what about Christ? Do you know about Christ? Yes, Christ is the savior for mankind, not for us. and the next question I asked, well, do you have a savior?
Starting point is 00:32:54 And the answer is, well, and I hear a lot from them, that's not for you to know at this time. But what he's conveyed was he'd like to have we be their scribe, and that's why I've written 15 books over the next 12 years. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

They have the ethical expertise, market data, and tools to bring you home. So when looking for a home, look for the R and work with a member of the National Association of Realtors. They're right by you. That is absolutely incredible. So the books that you've been writing, you're saying they've been telling you to write down things in these books.
Starting point is 00:34:47 Yes, he quite often will make sure that I know something so I can write about it. And I write two different ways. Some of them, like Sasquatch of Truth, 21 days. The Destiny, Satsquot's Search for a New Man, Satsquot's face-to-pace. Those are all 100% true facts. They're nonfiction. Others like Marnie's story, after Armageddon, the other four. They're novels, but they have facts about Saskatch in them.
Starting point is 00:35:31 And what I do here, I do this so that the haters can't hate. If I want to tell something really critical or important about them, I'll include it in a novel. Then when somebody attacks me about it, hey, it's a novel. They can't argue it. It frustrates the daylights out of them. And I love that. But to anybody to whom it's important, those things dealing with Sasquatch and those books are 100% true.
Starting point is 00:36:05 So, I mean, 100% true in my vision, you got to remember, we all see things in light of our own history. Okay? Absolutely. So what I see may not be what somebody else would see. I don't know. It's just how I see it. That's how I relate it. And, you know, I don't tell untruths.
Starting point is 00:36:29 I don't make up stories, but other people may have had different experiences. And that's all right. Yes. That first interaction with your teachers is very, very interesting. And it's just, there's a lot to learn from that. Just a random question, do you know how many toes that they had? Oh, some have, most have five, some have six, and I've even seen some with four. Okay, so you have seen actual ones that have four.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Absolutely. So I've interviewed people for a few years now in this subject, and something that will come up, and I'm curious about your thoughts on it, is there are certain parts of the U.S., like Southeast Alaska, where if there's four-toed, Saturdays, That can lead to some really, you know, interesting interactions. Have you found that the number of toes, if there's a four-toed Sasquatch, that things can, you know, turn south pretty quick? No, I sat with a group that had all three. Some had four, some had most had five, and a few had six. And that was in Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:03 And that was a group of 18 of them at a funeral. Yeah. So. And they had, you know, very, it just varies. I find that most negative interactions, actually I find that all negative interactions are caused by the human being and the interaction. There's a lack of respect there somewhere. that creates a problem.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Okay. The last thing that a species like them would want to do who are trying to stay hidden is to attack the dominant species in the bio. They do not want to be brought to attention. Okay. But they can be, you can do things wrong. Also, in my book,
Starting point is 00:39:03 of Sasquatch face to pace as a compilation of 32 face-to-face encounters across the country and you wouldn't believe how many them expressed how frightened they were. They were frightened for their life. They absolutely
Starting point is 00:39:18 couldn't move. They were so scared and all of them were standing there looking at them. Your mind gets out of control. Okay? Your mind does strange things to you. Back in 2014, I was driving back into camp. We were camped in Northern California on Blue Creek,
Starting point is 00:39:44 which is the next ridge over from Bluff Creek where Bob and Roger got there filmed. And I was right ahead of Bluff Creek. I was coming back from town. I had to go to the town to get gas for my tent heater. And at mile post, 14. right at the head of Bluff Creek on the go road. We came around the corner and there's two of them standing right square in the middle of the road. By the time I got my car stopped, I was not more than 20 feet from them.
Starting point is 00:40:16 And I had two people in the car with me. The lady in the passenger seat was from England. And she'd come over just for that outing. And the Narlah was in the backseat. and the first thing that Jackie did when she saw them. This is Jackie talks. I've talked to Jackie three to four years ago about this. Oh, yeah, go right ahead.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Okay, this is interesting. Yeah, because it's the most exciting, our illustrative mind thing that I've ever seen. But she just yelled out as loud as she could. Big foot! I mean, it rattled the car. They turned in two steps. They were three-quarters to seven-eighth across the road.
Starting point is 00:41:09 They turned, went back across the road, across the shoulder, and down the bank in two steps. As they disappeared, one of them said, I'm the one you know was Patty. This is my son. And I said, wow, you know, that's pretty cool. but Jackie was totally new though they were Sasquatch in the
Starting point is 00:41:34 30 and the pardon me we were at mile post 14 and the 20 miles back to our camp she had convinced
Starting point is 00:41:42 herself that she had not seen two Sasquatch down in the road she had seen two Mexican drug mules wearing long-haired
Starting point is 00:41:51 aggilly suits backpacks wearing flip-flops why because her mind didn't know what Sasquatch was, but it knew what Mexican drug mills were. It didn't know what hairy body
Starting point is 00:42:06 was, but it knew what a gilly suit was. And didn't know what a hump's shoulder was, but knew what a rucksack was. And didn't know what osmond pads were on the feet, but knew what teflops were.
Starting point is 00:42:24 So she just rationalized all this back into that's what it had to be. And it was probably two or three days later. Arles says, Jackie, do you realize you've traveled 6,000 miles to see what you saw? And now your mind's not letting you see it? And that got her started thinking. And by the time we got back to the airport in Portland, she had straightened it all out
Starting point is 00:42:51 and understood what her mind had done to her and understood what she had actually seen. But that was so fascinating to what. watch happen. It was unreal. That is incredible to hear that side of the story. Thank you, Tom, for bringing that up. That's really, really cool because it's been a long time since I've been able to talk to her. I did want to, before we get too far away from it, so when I was talking about southeast Alaska, I was actually referring to Prince of Wales Island. I just didn't come out and say it, but I'm curious. So did you, you went up there to go look for Sasquatch? Or how did that trip go?
Starting point is 00:43:33 I went up to salmon fishing. And after three days, I'd caught so many salmon that I was tired of salmon fishing. And I just took off, went, I took my gold pan and headed up into the hills looking for a stream to pan to work my pan in. There was a creek and I wanted to do that. and it turned out that the creek I wanted to work on came out of a lake, so that kind of missed that up for me. And so I just was out wandering around and came on this group of Sasquatch, and they asked me if I wanted to join with them.
Starting point is 00:44:17 You get it up and understand, when one knows something, they all know it. So wherever I go, they know who I am. And I don't have to wait for them at all. Can you describe how those Sasquatch looked like that you saw on that island specifically? Oh, just the same as any other. Buried in color from, there were no redwoods in that group, but there were from white to black and everything in between, just like our hair color varies.
Starting point is 00:44:53 so does theirs. And they were of a size, you know, they were much bigger than me. I was just looking at them from somewhere between just above the navel to the middle of chest, middle of chest and height. And it's just, that's how it was. They were run of the middle. Like I said, it was a burial ceremony that they had asked me to attend with them. with 18 males, and there were some females, too.
Starting point is 00:45:27 For the ceremony, the males and females separated, one on one side and one on the other side. What was your part in the ceremony? Was it just to watch? What was going on? Just to watch. Okay. Just to watch. Did you get any feeling as to if it was a natural death or if something?
Starting point is 00:45:50 Yeah, it was natural. Okay. It was natural, yeah. And you got to remember, not like state of Washington. there's about 300 in the state of Washington, 72,000 square miles. They live about 100 years nominally unless an accident happens, but their age is about 100 years.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Now, that means that in the state of Washington, in those 72,000 square miles, there will be three deaths a year. Does that answer why you don't find a body? Yeah, definitely would make it a lot more sense. So are they actually burying them like we do, you know, digging a hole in the ground and then? Oh, way down. Yeah, way down.
Starting point is 00:46:39 You wouldn't, I know what they looked like, so I know what to look for. But you would never believe it was a grave if you found one. Yeah, they'll transport, or transfer trees, transplant tree. trees a foot and a half in diameter over the top of the grave. And in the year, you'll never know that they hadn't lived there forever. And, yeah, you'll never find it out of their graves. How far down are they usually having to dig? From anywhere from four feet to 20 feet depending on the soil.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Does the tree act as a sort of marker? Do they have like a marker that honors that? like we do. They'll put a big rock there for that, yeah. I think that's the purpose of that. But they'll plant two or three trees, just to disguise it is what that's for. Very interesting.
Starting point is 00:47:42 What are your thoughts on there's a whole lot in the community in the last few years of tree structures and axes? And is that a thing that you would ever notice in your research going far back. Absolutely. Okay. My partners and I did a five-year study on their glyphs and their structures. We did it in BC and one of my partners lived in BC and had a great place to do it. And so that's where we did the study.
Starting point is 00:48:22 and yes, they very definitely are, they're a way of communication, most of the glyphs. And it's mostly between them. If the glyph is for you, you'll have no trouble in, I'll understand it. You may have to think about it a little bit, but you'll have no trouble understanding it. If it's not for you, you're reading somebody else's mail. and that's difficult to do because, I mean, just look at English and take the word B-O-W and tell me what it means.
Starting point is 00:49:01 You know, it could be a ribbon in your hair, it could be a bend at the waist, it could be the front end of a ship, it can be something to launch an arrow with, all of them the same word, right? It's all about context. That is. It's all about context. And if it's not for you, you don't know the context.
Starting point is 00:49:25 So it's impossible to know the meaning. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. Hey, I just Venmoed you for rent. Nice.

Starting point is 00:50:10 The Starbucks iced torchata Shaken espresso is back for the summer crafted with cinnamon, vanilla and nutty notes of toasted rice handshaking with smooth blonde espresso and finished with oat milk for a creamy touch. Made for summer. Only at Starbucks. one thing I will tell you
Starting point is 00:50:38 there are general signs that generally mean a specific area of thought the X is almost always a welcome a welcome a friendship sign the asterisk is a power sign power symbol so those are pretty common
Starting point is 00:51:02 you'll find a lot of both of those and when you find an asterisk that's tied in the center, and I've got a few of those, you know, that puts a special emphasis on it. That's a very special spot. On your website, I saw that it makes mention of an upcoming expedition, and it also makes mention of a prior expedition back in 2014, around the Go Road, specifically Elk Meadows, and that it was a very interesting expedition.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Would you be able to share maybe a little bit about what happened on that expedition? Part of that, I already told you, that the old Jackie happened on that one. Ah, so that's the same thing. Okay, perfect. Great. Yeah. Okay. I was curious.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Yeah. And, oh, my heavens, we had five Sasquatch sightings right in camp. The two on the road, we had them in the camp all night long every night. That camp is where the term Sasquatch Penaata came from. Kathy, one of the few people there. She liked to put her tent away from everybody else so that the young ones will come play with her tent at night. And she talks to them, has a great time.
Starting point is 00:52:35 about the third morning she came to the fire and her eyes looked like two burnt holes in a blanket she had no any sleep at all you know and Arlis says you know what's matter Kathy aren't she getting any sleep? She says no they won't let me sleep I try to get to sleep and they poke me through the tent
Starting point is 00:52:59 she's like just can't get any sleep at all well she's just tell them that that you need your sleep leave you alone tonight and she said can I do that I said sure you can't because she's okay you're okay guys listen up
Starting point is 00:53:14 you leave me alone tonight go play with Nancy poor Nancy she and her husband Russ were down at the other end of the meadow and they slept in
Starting point is 00:53:27 on hammocks and those little guys they'd run by and as they ran by they'd pop them on the butt and the hammock. And that's where the turn of Sasquatch Penaata came from. Another thing that all happened, oh, geez, we had them all around the camp. Kathy was walking back to her tent from, she and I sat up late one night talking.
Starting point is 00:53:57 She's been a good friend for so many years. And I had gone to bed. I'd headed for my tent. and she made sure the fire was down in good shape that there was wood there for the morning. It was late. It was after 11 o'clock. Usually I'm in bed by 8, 8.30.
Starting point is 00:54:16 And she's walking back to her tent and walks right face to face into one, I mean, six, eight feet. And it just froze her in place. Absolutely, prouder in place. You got to remember, this is a safety factor. They do that because then they can get away. And you don't go running off, running a muck across the field or something.
Starting point is 00:54:45 Like where we were there, there were trenches all over the place. And you could run off into one of those and kill yourself. And so it kept her still while they moved out of out of position. And then I'm in my tent. And I hear Tom, Tom, come here and help me. I need you. So, okay, Kathy, I'm here. Let me put my pants back on. Because I was just getting in bed.
Starting point is 00:55:18 I'd already got, taken my medications right in the evening. And it was just laying down on my bed. And I got back up, pulled my pants on. I didn't put the shoes on. And it's cold. I mean, we're 5,500,000 feet elevation in mid-June. It's cold at night. And I get over there, and here she has bent over.
Starting point is 00:55:42 I was, what's happened, Captain? She's, I don't know, all I saw was a great big redwood log standing upright. She said, I couldn't see above his waist, but I saw these two big redwood logs. And I looked up, and he was back behind it by a tree. there's a Port Upper Cedar Tree that grew just behind her tent and he was just standing there with that. And the funny thing is
Starting point is 00:56:08 they were apologizing to one another and neither one was listening to the other one. And it was so funny. And I told him, I said, okay brother, I've got her. You can let her go now. You can release her. I'll make sure she doesn't run a mug. And he did.
Starting point is 00:56:26 And I told her, I just grab you a jack and throw up my tent. and stay there tonight. And, you know, that, that bothered her, though, for quite a while. It's just been the last couple of years now that she's pretty much returned to normal, able to face them again. And she didn't realize what they'd done and why they'd done it. She knew what they'd done, but not why they'd done it.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Actually, she found that out. She was a little bit better with it. And she's back pretty much normal now. Well, normal for Kathy anyway. But yeah, that's just a few of the things that have happened there. I wrote four or five different essays on things that happened in that 2014 camp. And what I want to do in 20 and 2025 is return there. And I want to make this the event of the decade of the 2020s,
Starting point is 00:57:25 things that nobody's ever done before on a camp out there. I will have to limit the people that come. But we're going to have a presentation every day by one person or another. We're going to do an expedition into the Patterson-Gimland film site, probably an overnighter.
Starting point is 00:57:56 We will have several different interest groups formed. There will be one interest group headed by somebody that's well-knowledge in Sasquatch. There will be another interest group headed by somebody that's well-informed on orcs. There will be another one maybe on little people, maybe on ETs. And we haven't decided that. We have a planning meeting coming up after our camp out in the Blue Mountains this week. So next week or two, we'll plan that and get things decided and up and figure it out. But it's on my website.
Starting point is 00:58:41 My website is easy to find. It's just my name.com, Tom Cantrell.com. And the reason I did that is I started out when I first. had a website, I used my first book name, Gooseurubri Ridge.com. But by the time I'd written 10 books, the name of my website was too long to handle anymore. Gotcha. It sounds like a really interesting fun time, and I'll definitely have the link to that in the show notes for this. Okay, thank you.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Tom, have you ever, well, so there's a question I ask a lot of times, and I think I already know the answer because of how your accounts have been so far. I'm just going to ask it, though. Has there ever been a time when you're in the woods, there's been Sasquatch involved where things just get really intense and you're like, I don't want to be in this situation right now. I'd rather be out of this situation.
Starting point is 00:59:38 Oh, yes. Okay. Oh, yes. That's happened. And usually it's because I've gotten somewhere where I shouldn't be. Okay. And usually that involves a mother and a child. but I solved it.
Starting point is 00:59:52 I just left. Okay, and don't try to push them. I don't care what species you're talking about. A mother is going to protect her children. And with any means possible, also juvenile or adolescent males. Nobody gets in more trouble in any species than adolescent males. Okay, they do the weirdest things.
Starting point is 01:00:18 There's no accounting for them. Okay. And that's, it's a terrible thing. But just leave. Say, hey, I don't want to disturb you. Talk to them. Please talk to them. They'll understand you.
Starting point is 01:00:38 And just say, hey, I don't want to disturb you. I don't want any trouble. I'll just leave now and come back later. It's no problem. You know, we're in their home. what would you do if somebody came in your home? Right. And started acting out.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Was that in the Pacific Northwest that happened? Oh, I've had that happen in Georgia. I've had it happen in Oklahoma. I've had it happen in Alaska. I've had it, you know, BC everywhere. It's the same thing. Oh, wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:09 I wanted to ask you about a specific place, just something, a place that's kept coming up a few times from different people is, So have you heard anything about Spirit Lake in Oregon in the Willamette National Forest? Oh, yeah. Is there anything you can share about that area? I'm not that familiar with it. I've just heard stories about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:34 So you have not been there. You have heard Sasquatch experiences from that area? Oh, yes, yes. Oh, wow. I've heard some pretty intense. things from people that are not researchers that are not, you know, in quotations, bigfoot people, but they have been in that area doing nature things and they've run into these creatures.
Starting point is 01:02:01 So I think that area in the Willamette is a very active area just from the entire Wollamette National Forest is active. I've been in other places in there and just had great, great, great, Great, great things happen. That's where I had my first heaving experience. Was it southwest of Mount Hood in the Willamette National Forest? And we were in camp with Jeff Rohn. And, oh, Jim, don't get old as not worth it.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Right. Yeah. But some of the old Oregon Sasquatch people, Autumn Williams' old group. Oh, wow. And there are about 10 or 12 of us in camp there. And my partner, research partner, Sue and I were invited to join them. And I was feeling, oh, I was terrible. My heart was out of sync.
Starting point is 01:03:12 And it was absolutely, absolutely out of this. world hurry. Man, I could barely breathe. I could I could barely
Starting point is 01:03:26 do anything. And Jim, Jim, Domaine told Jeff, he says, I don't think we're going to see Tom here tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:03:34 And I wasn't, I was headed back to town to head to a doctor. And that night, and so I'd like the second or third night in camp. Sasquatch had been around our tents all that long.
Starting point is 01:03:46 I mean, I had paid, uh, you know, footprints 16 inches long or right next to my tent. And on this particular night, I woke up just before daylight, and there was a buzzing sound. And Sue was away. She's, where's that buzzing sound coming from?
Starting point is 01:04:07 I said, right out of my chest, and it was. If you point your finger right below your sternum, right at the base of the sternum, that's where it was coming from. As a matter of fact, it burned the spot in my skin, and I've got pictures of it. I've posted pictures of it, of that burn spot, and it stayed for, actually stayed for a couple of years before it finally went away. And it was just a z-z-z sound. And I thought it went for 15 or 20 minutes before it stopped. Sue got up, she looked outside the tent, but didn't see anything.
Starting point is 01:04:44 She never went outside. She did look at it. I found out later she said no no that was been going on for two or three hours and what it did it reset my heart my heart is in as in uh as in uh fibrillation in time 100% of time but it made it so it was in rhythm again and uh they did at that time they did it one more time in a camp later on up in northern Idaho They treated it at the end. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

That happened first time in the Willamette. Wow. That's incredible. I mean, that's amazing that that was able to happen, and definitely a good thing. I was able to happen as well.
Starting point is 01:06:46 They've kept me alive. They really have. Exactly. Just this last week, I had a siege that hit me. I called for help from my teacher, and it just went away just like you snap your fingers. Wow. The last three days, my blood pressure has been. been way high all at once.
Starting point is 01:07:08 I asked him for help and just weren't as normal. So, yeah, yeah, I wouldn't be alive now if it weren't for them. That's extremely interesting. So you've mentioned you've been all over the U.S. looking for Sasquatch, which is incredible over the years. Did you ever, were you ever able to go down to southeast Oklahoma? Oh, yes, yeah. Yeah, I spoke to the Honolabee Conference there a couple of different years.
Starting point is 01:07:41 And Arla lives in southeast Oklahoma. Okay. And, yeah, so that's one of my favorite areas because they're all over down there. And one of my favorite occurrences happened in Georgia at our camp there. Okay. We're west of Atlanta, only about eight or ten miles from the Alabama line. and we're in camp 18 of us around a campfire
Starting point is 01:08:11 and two of them stood right behind me at the campfire so I tell people if anybody wants to call that one a liar they've got to call 18 people a wire including the Georgia Superior Court judge Who was there? Yeah Oh wow Yep
Starting point is 01:08:33 and they turned and walked back in the brush. Arla, Keith Bearden. I've been trying to talk to Keith for a long time. Yep. Oh. If you do, tell him, I said, I sent you. All right.
Starting point is 01:08:49 He'll talk to him. All right. Good friend. And two other people anyway. Oh, Jonathan Goebbels and a young man. I can't remember his name. Zach. Zach.
Starting point is 01:09:03 And they took off. and walked back in the brush fall and there was a third one back there that wouldn't come out. But I did. I had two of them stand right behind me as a campfire. I looked up over my, you know, back, through backwards, upside. There's two upside down Sasquots looking at me. Oh, wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:26 And, yeah, everybody there saw them. Tom, you know, over the year. that you're researching, were you at any point able to get evidence like, did you ever cast footprints or trying to get photo evidence
Starting point is 01:09:47 or audio recordings or anything? No, I never tried the photos and audio, but yeah, I cast enough footprints. I had my garage full of them and finally gave them all away. Wow.
Starting point is 01:10:02 And now I've been working working on just things. I'm sure I just did a presentation or put together a PowerPoint and we're going to do the
Starting point is 01:10:21 presentation on it online here sometime the next week or two on absolute scientific proof of not only their existence but the veracity of the Patterson Jimlin film. It's a very simple system,
Starting point is 01:10:43 and it's called Intermembril Index. It's something that's taught in every anatomy class in the country, and what it is is the ratio of your arm length to your leg length. In us, that ratio is 72. Our arms are 72% of the arm. the length of our legs. In chimpanzees, it's 105. Their arms
Starting point is 01:11:10 are just slightly longer than their legs. In gorillas, it's 122. They're substantially longer than their legs. Sasquatch, if you ever looked at frame 354,
Starting point is 01:11:25 where she's looking back and her arms extended, okay, you can tell the arms are longer, right? their intermembril index is 84. And if you ever want to, if you ever want to check the veracity of a photograph, check the intermembril index on it. Everything in UTV puts out is 72.
Starting point is 01:11:50 It's all with human. The Bob Hieronymus suit, 72. Who was it, Leroy Blevins, who said he debunked the Patterson-Gimman film entirely, and they learned how to walk and all of that. Do the Intermemial Index, it's 72. Do it on Patty, it's 84. Do it on the Fourth of July footage. It's 84.
Starting point is 01:12:28 Okay. Do it on the Marvel Mountain footage. It's 84. Is it really? Do it on Paddle. Do it on Paul Freeman's, 84. Is it really, okay, wow. Yep.
Starting point is 01:12:47 Do it on Tom Suez, stuff that he posted, was 72. Do it on Todd Standings, it's 72. Gotcha. Okay. That's incredible. Yeah. So that's all you have to do, Ivan Marks, 72. So what I've done is I've taken testimony of experts on the Patterson-Gimland film,
Starting point is 01:13:15 starting with John Chambers and Dr. Lian and Dr. Andrew Nelson, Jeff Meldrum and Bill Mons I don't know how much Bill Mons you've done but that man has got the best best in the world at proving it
Starting point is 01:13:38 and read his book when Roger met Patty and look at his YouTube site Bill Mons reports when you get done there there's no way that you can even consider
Starting point is 01:13:53 that it's anything but the real thing. And people who are still arguing that is a page just have no idea what they're talking about. They're not listening to people that know about it. They're listening to their brother-in-law. You know? Even Peter Brooke,
Starting point is 01:14:12 who ran Jim Henson Creature Shop, and you think he doesn't know something about making costumes? Absolutely. He said it could have pot. possibly be a suit for as impossible to make a suit like that in 1967. So, yeah, all of these things count. Yeah. Tom, I really appreciate your time today. I have one more question for you before the end of our time. I feel like there's a in the community, like I hear a lot of things. I talk to a lot of people, and there seems to be start of a focus on, let's capture a type specimen, but let's try to pretty much put it on the slab, to be blunt.
Starting point is 01:15:06 And I try to talk people out of that just for safety reasons. Hi, Diva. It's Rachel. And Jordan, yeah, hi. Quick question. Why are you not spending your Venmo balance? Yeah, we're concerned. You can, like, buy stuff with it.

Starting point is 01:16:03 Please do. There's no reason for it, none whatsoever. All people who want or demanding proof want is to satisfy their own. This will show the people that have been telling me, no, that's not what this is about. and the last thing I ever want to do is to have the government having them proven to the point that the government tries to take control look at our government's track record with with indigenous people and tell me how you want them to
Starting point is 01:16:37 first of all they try to put them all in one place and you can imagine that was Sasquatch. That's not a good picture. No, no, but on any other, even worse picture, everybody's going to be wanting. Everything shut down. No logging whatsoever. Nobody in the forest because they're endangered.
Starting point is 01:17:03 How do you know they're endangered? They're not endangered. We're endangered. They control their population very well. I couldn't give you examples of that and how they do it. But that's not the point. The point is there is no need. for proof.
Starting point is 01:17:24 Now, they're coming forth. They want more contact, but they're choosing who they want contact with. And they don't want contact with your brother-in-law. They want contact with people they can work with. That's number one. Lose your fear. Fear is one emotion they cannot work through.
Starting point is 01:17:46 So lose your fear. Number two, clear your heart. be in respect. You know, you got to be a pure heart and you have to be in respect. There is nothing that replaces respect.
Starting point is 01:18:04 Okay? If you do those things, then you have a very good chance of having one walk up and say, you know, hi, I'm your teacher. Listen to me and we'll go far. That's great advice.
Starting point is 01:18:23 And I hope that people listening to this take that to heart and definitely think about that before they are going out. But Tom, this has been a very interesting discussion.
