Bigfoot Society - Former Marine Investigates Gifford Pinchot Forest Where Bigfoot Screams Forced Him Out

Episode Date: December 31, 2025

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, host Jeremiah Byron welcomes Richard D. Priest, Jr., a former U.S. Marine Corps veteran with special operations, reconnaissance, and intelligence training, for a wide-ranging and deeply personal discussion about his decades-long experiences with unexplained phenomena, culminating in multiple encounters inside Washington State’s Gifford Pinchot National Forest.Richard begins by outlining his military background, including behind-enemy-lines communications work, special sections training, and reconnaissance experience. He explains how these skills shaped his approach to analyzing anomalous encounters, threat assessment, and field operations. He then recounts how his interest in non-human intelligence began years ago through contact with individuals claiming off-planet communications, leading to research into remote wilderness locations suitable for controlled encounters.The conversation covers Richard’s belief that some non-human entities operate from underground and underwater facilities, using advanced technology such as teleportation, surveillance, and directed-energy systems. He describes a past incident in which he believes he was injured by a directed-energy weapon, an event that caused him to sever contact with certain individuals and reevaluate the risks involved.Richard then connects this broader context to his Bigfoot experiences, explaining why he believes Sasquatch may not be an undiscovered primate, but instead non-human intelligences tasked with guarding sensitive locations, including underground access points. He discusses why Bigfoot encounters often involve sudden appearances, disappearing trackways, vocal intimidation, and avoidance of sustained visual contact.🗣️ Share Your StoryHad a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?Send it to [e-mail] – your story might be featured on the show!🎥 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube🔴 Subscribe here → Bigfoot Society YouTube💬 Leave a comment & let us know your thoughts!📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → Speakpipe (Use multiple voicemails if needed)👥 Share this episode → Watch & Share🎧 More episodes → Podcast Playlist🌲 Recommended: New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters💥 Support the Show & Get Perks✅ Join the community on Supercast – Become a Member✅ Listen ad-free & early on YouTube – Join Here📱 Let’s ConnectInstagram: @bigfootsocietyTwitter: @bigfoot_societyTikTok: @bigfoot.society🧰 Tools & Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)These help support the show at no extra cost to you:Beam (Better Sleep): Try BeamWildgrain (Better Bread): Join HereSeed (Probiotics): Get SeedMedi-Share (Healthcare): Learn MoreLMNT (Electrolytes) Free Sample Pack with your first purchase! : Get LMNTOrganic and non-GMO groceries delivered for lesshttp://thrv.me/uarEhS🎙️ Podcasting Tools:Repurpose.io: Try ItDescript: Sign UpStreamyard: Start RecordingRiverside.fm: Try Riverside🎧 My Audio Interface: View on Amazon☕ Buy Me a Coffee – Support Here🛍️ Grab Some Merch – Shop on Etsy📬 Mailing Address:Bigfoot Society125 E 1st St. #233Earlham, IA 50072

Welcome back for another episode. We've got the privilege of talking to Mr. Richard D. Priest Jr. today. How are you doing, Richard? Good morning. Ryan. Nice to see you. Absolutely. So a few things that I want to make sure our listeners know real quick is Richard is a Marine Corps veteran. He's got special forces training.

And currently he's also a drive-away contractor and real estate investor. Welcome to the show, Richard. be talking about some pretty interesting things today that you've been involved with in the past. But how are you doing today, sir? I'm doing well. Thank you. We were talking a little bit before the recording and how it would be great for us to start with you presenting kind of your background and how you got into the field of Bigfoot to begin with. Sure, that'd be great. My name is Richard D. Preyce Jr. today. is December 16th, 2025, and I was born in Washington, D.C. in 1958. My father was stationed at

Camp David for a year with the Marines during the Eisenhower administration. And then after that, he went to work for the Central Intelligence Agency as a patent attorney in their technology department. And then he was an undercover CIA officer for 10 years. My basic military training was on Paris Island in 1982. My Special Forces training was as a behind enemy lines PRC-25 backpack radio operator with extended range for connoissance antennas with the line of sight range of up to and more than 100 miles. I also have Marine Corps special sections, psionics training, and reconnaissance and intelligence, special operations experience. That's kind of the gist of my military training. About 15 years ago, I was blogging or I was commenting on a website, and I struck up.

conversation with another commenter there who said that they were a representative of a off-planet political organization and that he was in regular communication with them both telepathically and physically where he would either be teleported up to the ships or they would land and pick him up and take him up to the ships and I said that's very interesting I've got 40 years of geopolitical experience up to the head of state level and working on conflict prevention and conflict resolution. And I think that there may be an extraterrestrial component to this. And I'd like to meet with the extraterrestrials that you're involved with.

And he said, well, let me check. And we had back and forth, and he came back and said, you've got two options. One is you can either teleport up and meet that way or another is we can send a scout ship to the surface at a time and date and location of your choosing. And I said, well, you know, the teleportation thing, you know, I don't have any experience with that. And it could be considered just to be a dream and that it wasn't really real. But if I have a physical pickup on the planet's surface, then, you know, I can record it with. the video recorder and I have proof and know that it's a genuine interaction. So he said, that's okay.

And I, you know, giving my military experience, you know, I want to have an interaction like that or a landing zone that's not going to cause problems for the government or or society. So it would have to be something that would be secure. and remote. So I started looking for remote wilderness locations that would be suitable for an interaction. I had to have a ship come in for a pickup and a drop off. I know there's legal issues as far as airspace violation and all that kind of stuff.

But, you know, this was 15 years ago. And at that time, the disclosure process hadn't gotten to where it is now, you know, with the government coming out and acknowledging, you know, they have had interaction and crash retrievals and that type of thing. So, you know, I did some research and I did some hiking and some driving on Forest Service roads and that sort of thing and found, you know, different locations. And I said, well, you know, I've got my end of things squared away, but, you know, before we move ahead with this, I'd like to know a little bit more about the objectives of the particular

extraterrestrials that you're involved with. and, you know, we got back and forth with that, and he wasn't as willing to disclose some of their objectives as I would hope he would be, but after a while it got to the point where what they were interested in was terraforming the planet a little bit more to their liking where they could cohabitate it, you know, with the current occupants, and the surface population that wanted to go along with that. would be accepted and they would be genetically modified where it would be compatible with them and the ones that didn't like the plan for the terraforming

would either be sent off planet or would die during the terraforming process so you know that wasn't something that I was comfortable with and the interaction became more negative and threatening and menacing and I was at a truck stop east of San Francisco and I got hit right here with some type of directed energy weapon and it left it's I don't know how well you can see it I sent you some images there it is right there perfect I felt it I didn't know what it was I got out of the truck it came right through the truck I never saw the shooter went into the subway order to sail and The first bite that I took this salad and started to chew on that side of my mouth, it was very painful.

Like the teeth on the upper jaw right below the impact had either, they had, there was some type of nerve damage. I don't know what it was, but it was like they had been burned or bruised severely, and I couldn't chew my food on that side of my mouth. So I went about six to eight weeks chewing the food, my food on the other side of my mouth. And I went to the dentist and I went to the plastic surgeon and they both kind of gave me the vampire cross and said, you know, we don't want to lose our medical licenses. But they didn't say that, but, you know, that was the impression that I got that, you know, we can't treat somebody that's been shot in the face with a beam weapon. And I said, you know, I understand that. And basically I said, you know, there's nothing we can do about it. We wish you could help you, but we can't.

So I just gutted it out. And after six to eight weeks, you know, the pain subsided and I could chew my food normally. It was still painful, but it wasn't, it took nine to 12 months before the pain was gone completely and it was healed completely. So I can take this same picture over again. and, you know, it's still there. Once I got hit, then I broke off communication with the contact D that I had been corresponding with over the Internet because it was clear that he was involved with negative elements

and that, you know, it just had gone south and that was, I had limited contact after that, but it just, you know, it never went anywhere. So, but, you know, that made it clear to me that, you know, I was dealing with some sort of legitimate presence here on our planet that had advanced weaponry and was willing to use it against the indigenous population, which is us, for purposes of intimidation and coercion. And, you know, I just chalked that up to experience and put it behind me. But at that time, you know, I'm 67 today, so I was in my 50s back then. And as I did research, I came to the understanding that there is advanced medical technology that's been developed in different military classified projects that has led to life extension

to the point where purportedly, I haven't met them yet, setting up a meeting is on my to-do list, where there are flag officers from the Second World War who started having covert interactions with different extraterrestrial groups after the Second World War, and I gained access to their life extension technology and actually did extend their lives. And I know of one that was born in 1885, which would make him 140 years old today, who's still involved in the Secret Space Program

and the classified projects, and he's not the only one. So I think what has happened is that there's been extensive underground construction of different facilities, and there's a lot of research going on down there. And essentially what we have is a secret space program and a breakaway civilization. And that now the objective is how is this technology going to be released purportedly? A lot of it is being filtered into the surface population open. source, use, the telephones, fiber optics, a lot of the other stuff. And there's a struggle

between different factions for, you know, using it for the benefit of humanity and using it for the detriment of humanity. So I'm involved with that from the perspective of trying to get the security stabilization, the security situation on the planet stabilized. I'm working on files right now in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and South America to get the conflicts that are currently occurring, winding down, and prevent new ones from starting, so that we can develop the social maturity to use the advanced dual-use technology responsibly so that we can extend our lifespans and expand the economy, a tenfold expansion. the economy can be done over different years, over years, depending upon the rate of the growth. So the Chinese have had up to a 10% growth, they're less than that now. But with the free energy or the new energy and the advanced construction and manufacturing technology using replicator technology where you're programming a

machine that it's kind of like 3D printing except more advanced where it can do construction and it can do manufacturing what that allows you to do is to increase the growth rate of the economy so at 15 percent a year uh in 17 years you've got a tenfold expansion of the economy which um provides a surplus money that the government can transition part of the economy in places where it's all civilian known some governments have already done this. I don't want to get too much into the minutia here, but essentially what you end up with is the government owns a portion of the economy, takes the profit from that portion, pays the government's bills, so there's no taxation, and then has an additional portion of the economy,

and I understand people will criticize this as socialism, but, you know, it is what it is. You can call it anything you want, and use that to provide universal income for, with the citizenry so that the citizenry doesn't have to work at these menial tasks and, you know, spend their whole life just making a paycheck to put a roof over their head and food on the table and a vehicle to the drive. They can have a stipend from the government, like in Alaska, for instance, you know, I think the last time I looked, it was like $20,000 a year a year if you're an Alaskan resident, you get a $20,000 a year check from the oil revenue because there's so much oil up there and there's other governments around the world to do similar things.

But, you know, with the robotics and the artificial intelligence and the advances in manufacturing and construction technology, you can do an accelerated expansion of the economy to achieve those ends. But back to, you know, how this all ties into my Bigfoot experiences is that, you know, once I had determined that I was dealing with genuine advanced technology civilization. And I still don't know if this attack was from an off-planet extraterrestrial faction or from somebody within our own breakaway civilization. And I think what a lot of people don't put enough attention to, but in my opinion, this is part of the equation, is that with teleportation technology, you don't have to have an open pathway from the surface of the planet to an underground facility.

And it's my understanding, and I can't get into a lot of the classified information here, but that there are underground facilities not only that we've built, but that pre-exist and have been built by other off-planet civilizations that are essentially coexisting here with us in underwater facilities, deep underwater facilities, and underground facilities. Let's go, girls. So you've been taking one of these little pink pills daily? Yeah. And you feel?

Uh-huh. And more. More? Huh. I didn't think we could feel like that again at our age. Oh, get ready, girl. Ooh, la la. Meet Addy, the little pink pill.

I don't feel like myself at all, but it's probably just a lack of sleep. Hey, I love you. I've been there. Maybe it's something more like postpartum depression.

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. And that they can teleport from the facility into the atmosphere and then, you know, go about their way to, you know, wherever they're traveling to.

So I was told by somebody in special forces that the Bigfoot are not a primitive mammalian species that is not been captured or caught yet. They're actually extraterrestrials. and that they're involved in underground tunnel and entrance security work. There are, I haven't been in it myself yet, and I'm working on it, physical entrances to some of these underground facilities, you know, in places where there's not oil wall drilling and stuff. And there are technology keys to open entrances to these facilities. So the Bigfoot purportedly have access to this technology, which accounts for their ability to start a track line and end a track line

where they can teleport to the surface or from someplace else where they're currently at and, you know, start walking and interact with human beings and then teleport away. And that accounts for a lot of their elusiveness because they're extraterrestrials with advanced technology. And, you know, part and parcel of that is surveillance technology. So, you know, they have the ability, if my, what I've been told is correct, to, view an area and to look at the people that are present there and make a decision, you know, whether they want to interact with them or not interact with them. So that, you know, in a kind of a nutshell is what, how I look at Bigfoot at this time. There's one other interaction that I

had with a non-Bigfoot species and also a non-human species. and that was in Colorado. And I was on a recon hike up to a clearing in the Sanred Del Cristo Mountains north of, the location escapes me. But the trail was the Cotton Lake Trail going up to Cotton Lake. It's about a 20-mile round-trip hike up to the clearing that could be used as a remote landing zone. and I got partway up just to do a trail check. I wasn't planning to go.

I wasn't equipped to do the full 20-mile round-trip height. So I got about six or seven miles in. At about 9,000 feet elevation, I came across an unidentified trail print, and I sent you the image of that, and if you can put that up, we can talk about it. So the wind was blowing, and I noticed that, and I thought that's odd.

I haven't seen anything like that before. And if you can look on the lower left of the print, there's a small triangle like a dew claw that's present. And, you know, it looks like, you know, it could have been a combination print maybe where a huff of a moose had stepped in. Yes, good. And right to the lower left there is where the dew claw is.

But it also, and then maybe a wolf stepped into the hoof print of the moose, but there's a couple things that indicate that that's not the case, that it's actually a print of something else. You know, whether it's a crop circle type of directed energy weapon that was drawn into the surface of the snow, or whether it was a physical life form that has. had some sort of telekinetic levitation capability genetically or some type of anti-gravitation device that they were wearing where they could levitate and then step onto the surface. But if you look at my boot on the left, you know, with what I was wearing and the gun I was carrying and stuff, you know, I was probably 180 pounds. and it doesn't go anywhere near as deep into the hard pack. That's actually hard pack trail snow like you would ski on or something.

And that print is deep. That is, you know, one to two inches. On the right, it's a couple of inches where it broke the snow there that's light and fluffy snow. but it also goes an inch into the hard pack on the rest of the print. I'm estimating, you know, just from my experience in life, that whatever made that was 500 to 1,000 pounds. And that's not a big footprint to carry that much weight. So if it was some type of alien life form,

I don't think that it was a biped. I think it was something more than that, a quadrupad or more where it had multiple appendages, and then it just decided to leave a calling card and make the footprint, knowing that I was coming up there before the wind blew the snow in. And the reason I don't think it's a composite print is because if it had been made, by wildlife, even if, you know, it was done when the snow was softer when the sun was shining on it and they stepped there and it went deeper than it would under the conditions where this image, where this picture was taken, there were no prints around it. I mean, I, I, I,

that's one of the first things that occurred to me is, you know, how, how would this creature have made this print? There were no wolf tracks. There were no moose tracks. There were no moose tracks there were no elk tracks um anywhere in the vicinity so you know it isn't like you know a large native big game animals stepped in the trail and then a mid-sized game like a wolf or or something then stepped in that trail print and made that as a composite print because the room all the prints around so it's a one-of and um you know that also uh piqued my interest and indicated that I was on the right track of making contact with extraterrestrials directly and with my psionics training and I also went through a week of

telepathy training Crestone Colorado that that's the name of the place that cotton lake is just north of about a year prior to this I've been through a retreat with the disclosure project doing telepathy training with Dr. Greer and had a chance to talk with him. And that was something that I've used since then as part of my contact work is in meditation. And now this kind of leads into the Bigfoot experience. So there's a national foreman. forest in the vicinity of where I live in Washington State that is called the Gifford Pinshot Forest.

And I looked on your map and you've got 15 pin drops there, so I don't think a couple more pin drops is going to lead to a flood of people contaminating the area with an unwanted presence. So about six years ago, I was doing some research on the computer and looking at topographical maps and satellite images and stuff of the planet surface looking for places where I could use my psionic and telepathy skills to establish communications to either have a landing party come down for a meet and greet or a scout ship come in to land and have a conversation where it wouldn't disturb anybody or result in the police being called or be a problem for the Forest Service or anything. And at the headwalk, there's a, there's a river that runs, there's a river gorge in the Gifford-Pinshav Forest that has a ridge line on one side that rises up about 4,000 feet above the river. It's a pretty steep embankment. And I located a caldera there with a seasonal disappearing lake

where the snow melt fills up the caldera with water. And then I don't know if it was when the volcano blew or if it's just something that has occurred over a long period of time, but there's about an 800 foot deep, V-shaped break in the caldera wall. And the lip of the caldera is at about 3,000 feet. And the base of the lake, the disappearing lake is at about 2,300 feet. And the V-shaped break in the wall of the caldera faces the river gorge.

And the water drains out through the, the bottom of the break in the caldera through springs and runs down seasonally for Juniper Creek and drains the disappearing lake out every spring after it fills up with the snow melt. And there is an abandoned logging road spur that comes up to the ravine along the ridgeline. and it's for high ground clearance four by four passable. It's a pretty rough shape with washouts and things of that nature, and it ends at the ravine. So I went up there about six years ago at night with my Bronco 2, 4 by 4, parked at the end of the logging road spur and scaled the 700-foot headwall. Part of my Special Forces training was scaling and repelling rope work.

And it was three and four contact point climbing where you had to be careful that you didn't start sliding down and going back down the Calderon. It was also heavily overgrown with thickets of briars and things like that. But after about an hour and a half, I scaled the 700 feet up and got to the plateau at the base of the V that that leads into the disappearing lake, which by that time of year had pretty much dried up. So my plan was to go in there and meditate and see if I could establish contact and have a back-and-forth conversation and see if I could have a meeting with extraterrestrials. But it didn't work out that way.

So I got up. I got over the edge, just kind of like a cliff, and then got onto the plateau. and the plateau is probably about, I don't know, 200 yards maybe through the break in the wall, and then you get into the lake, the bottom of the caldera where this gravel where the lake is drained out, and it would be a good place for a small ship to land with a solid foundation for the landing gear to come on to. So I got up over the edge. I was tired from the exertion of scaling the headwall and laid down in an area where there was some open space above me.

It's heavily forested there, but I found a location where I could do a sky watch just laying down on my back. And I laid down for about 45 minutes, and there was a couple of shooting stars, but nothing abnormal. And then I started to hear an electromechanical whirring sound coming from within the caldera. It sounded like a field drive for a flying saucer. So I thought, well, you know, it sounds like something's starting to happen.

I better get up and get going here. So I stood up, had my headlamp on, and before I go out of cell phone range, I download the topographical maps onto my phone, and the phone has a satellite uplink for the GPS, which gives you an icon on your phone showing where you are. So once you get out of a cell phone range, you can use your phone for navigation purposes using the maps that you've downloaded. So I get up, I hit my phone. the screen lights up.

And my 8 o'clock behind me, I hear an owl hootin. And I didn't think much of it. And I look and see where I am. And for what it's worth, all the way up, the headwall as I was scaling up, the icon, the satellite icon, has some sort of interference where it wasn't locating properly.

Let's go, girls. You know what I love about Andy? Everything? Well, yeah, but it's just, little is 20 bucks a month. Ooh, well, the little pink pill has always been a pretty big deal. A really big deal. I'd call that a good investment.

So I knew that I had some electrical issues already even before I heard the sounds of what sounded like a flying saucer. and it still wasn't showing my location properly, but I could see the outline of the break in the caldera wall, and there was enough moonlight to make my way to where I was trying to get.

So I reached up, click on my headlamp, and all hell breaks loose. There is an explosion of Bigfoot screens just outside. At the time, I didn't know they were Bigfoot screams. There was an explosion of screams just outside my headlamp range directly between me and where I was trying to go to get into the caldera, almost like a blocking mechanism. So I've got one of these entities or creatures, whatever they are, directly in front of me at my 12 o'clock.

I had this owl hooting at my 8 o'clock, and then another one opens up at my 2 o'clock. So I've got two of them, I think, from what it sounded like. And my research later on into the Bigfoot phenomenon, once I identified that those screams might have been from Bigfoot, is that they have the ability to mimic animal sounds and that I think the owl hooting at my 8 o'clock might not have been an all. It might have actually been a forward Bigfoot,

seeing that somebody was coming up, the head wall, and alerted in the other two that, you know, they've got a human in their midst and, you know, they've got activity. So I might have had three. And the screams, these were not, it was definitely something non-conventional. I mean, I've spent enough time in the wilderness with cougars and wolves and bears and elk and moose, you know, to know what they sound like when they're bugling and screaming and, you know, doing their normal, natural vocalizations. And this wasn't anything like that. And it was very aggressive and it was very intimidating.

And it was sufficiently high pitch that I'm still not convinced that whatever is making this particular vocalization is a big foot. It could be something else because I haven't seen it yet. And I'll tell you about the experience I had just about a month ago with an identical vocalization at a different location in the forest. So I froze for about 45 seconds, and I'm not a coward, but I'm not foolish either. And I was in shock, essentially. I just, you know, was overwhelmed by the experience. It was so totally unexpected. And I had a 9mm Keltec, PF9, some kind of back pistol in my one coat pocket with an eight-round magazine

in the well and one down to two, so I had nine rounds in that, and I had a spare seven-round magazine with a compact high-powered flashlight in my other jacket pocket, and I thought to myself, you know, if I get this gun out and this light out and start waving around and making a commotion, I may not get the response that I'm looking for. I mean, I might not be intimidating them. I might actually be escalating the situation. and heading into an armed confrontation involving violence. So what I decided to do was to de-escalate and disengage, so I kept the gun in the magazine and the light, excuse me,

in my pocket and turned around, and as quickly as I could, I wasn't running, but I was, you know, walking quickly, headed back to the edge of the plateau to go down in the ravine to get back to my Bronco. And I could hear him behind me,

but I could not hear anything crashing through the bush. All I could hear was the vocalization. And then once I got over the edge and got turned around and I'm, you know, scaling down reverse, going back down the head wall, I'm about

100 feet maybe, the screaming died down and I'm looking for, you know, red glowing eyes or something, you know, coming at me, but I didn't see anything like that. So, you know, they let me go. They didn't pursue me. They didn't escalate the situation. And about a year later, I was on YouTube doing some research and I came across this video that said, Bigfoot Howells, or Howells, Bigfoot Files. and I sent you a link. I don't know if you had a chance to listen to that or not, but it's pretty alarming.

There's three vocalizations. It's only about a minute and a half long YouTube video, but the center vocalization from 21 seconds to 52 seconds is identical to what I experienced at the disappearing lake and also a month ago up at the intersection, about 25 miles deep into the different, Pinshot Forest south Randall Washington. And so I clicked on the video and I listened to it through it.

And when I got to the second one, which is a pretty high-strung vocalization, it was identical to what I had encountered that night in the caldera or at the entrance of the caldera. And so that's when I thought, well, maybe at that time I didn't know what it was. I didn't know whether it was one of these insectoid, you know, six-legged creatures that might have left the trail print in Colorado or what it was. But, you know, I started studying up on the subject. I'm not from Washington. I'm from back east. You know, I haven't been born in Washington, D.C.

My father was in the government. And then growing up outside of Syracuse, New York, you know, Bigfoot weren't part of the culture back there. You know, now they've gotten so much exposure, you know, the more people know about them. But, you know, 20, 30 years ago, it was pretty much a Northwest thing and a California thing, I think, more so than it is now.

And so that I started researching the Bigfoot. And I went to a... Bigfoot presentation south of Tacoma, Washington. I think it was maybe she had this Washington somewhere near there. And one of the speakers was Ron Moorhead, and I met him and his wife, very nice people, and I had a

conversation with him and invited him down to the Gifford Pinchot Forest if they wanted to have some direct-in reaction. And they said they had other things to do. And this was about three years ago. I went down that night, drove down, had a little rental Subaru cross-track four-by-four and put my folding electric bike in the back. And I was planning to go up to the dark divide. There's a meadow up there.

It's a location in the Gifford-Pinchot Forest where the meadow is sufficiently remote that at night there wouldn't be anybody around. Oh, and incidentally, the night of the caldera, I call him contact ops, ET contact ops. As I was heading to the, when I got to the end of the spur, I looked down the gorge and there was a light about, well maybe about my elevation at 2,300 foot at the end of the spur,

about a mile down the ridge line. And what stood out to me was that I had studied the satellite imagery pretty extensively in the topography. And this light was coming from someplace where it would be very difficult for a camper or a hiker to get into. And it would be unlikely that there would be somebody down there shining a flashlight or having a lantern hung on a tree. And it was sufficiently bright and sufficiently far away that it would have had to have been a very strong light to be visible the way that I saw it. So I don't know what it was. It didn't move. It was just there before I started the climb.

And when I got back down, it was gone. But, you know, what was a bright orb or something? I don't know. So I head in south into the forest after the presentation. And they have two skeletons at this particular place. There's a Bigfoot Museum there. One's about eight foot tall and one's about five, ten tall, which is about my height, and they're next to each other, which is a very interesting display.

And I don't know how they, they must have caused. a lot of money somebody made a donation or something to have these skeletons manufactured but essentially it's a human skeleton and then a big foot skeleton and I don't know where they got the the technical details to make the big foot skeleton but it was it was very interesting so I'm driving down I think it was Forest Road 25 and I come around a corner Was it a, I don't remember whether there's a left-hand turn or right-head turn, but there was a short straightaway there. And I'm doing about 15, 20 miles an hour.

And as soon as I get around the corner, my headlights are going down the straight down the road, there's a creature down on all fours running at the same speed as the car. And I know that bear can run that fast. and the only reason I couldn't, I could see the hind haunches and I could see the back, but I couldn't see the front of it. And it was going so fast, you know, peddling along as it was running, that I didn't get a good visualization of its anatomy. But what stood out to me was that one thing I did notice was that the hair was brown.

and we don't have grizzly that far south. As far as south as they come is I-90, which is north of, which is about equal to Seattle. This is about 100 miles south of I-90, and there isn't any evidence of grizzly presence down there. And this was pretty good size, so it was either not all black bear are black. there are some that are brown. So, I mean, it could have been a large, the back end of a large, a large brown black bear, or it could have been, you know, some sort of sort of crypted. And in and of itself, I mean, I've had two or three bear encounters in the forest, you know, in Washington.

But what stood out to me on this was later on, I'm going down 25, and then I take the side road to go to climb up into the dark divide. And I get as far as I can with the Subaru Cross track to where the road is washed out so bad that it wasn't something that I was comfortable trying to get across with a rental four by four. If I had had my Bronco, I might have tried it, but not with something where I'd risk. damaging it. So I stop. I get the electric bike out of the back and I proceed to where I want to go. And there's probably about a 2,000 foot climb from where I had the encounter with the whatever it was running down the side of the road and to where the washout was. And then it climbed further from there to get to the dark divide meadow. And I never made it that far that night. And I'll tell you why. This was late spring, and once I got up to that elevation, there was snow on the ground in some places.

So I'm riding along on my folding electric bicycle, and I get to a patch of snow where I can't ride across it. I have to walk across it. And as I'm walking, I notice I've got about a 60-foot diagonal track line going through the snow from one side of the Forest Service Road to the other side of the surface. Forest Service Road. And I examined it, and I said, you know, that stride is too large for your average human. I mean, it would have had to have been a seven and a half foot tall basketball player that was really trying to stretch out. And also the Prince, now it wasn't a fresh track line.

It had melted down. You know, it had been through a couple of days with some meltdowns, so it wasn't as crisp as if whatever it made it had just gone through it. But on some of the prints, they were about 50% larger. The footprints were about 50% larger than my boot. So it was a large footprint. And on some of them, you could see the toe line, the toe imprints across the front.

So whatever it was was not only abnormally large, but it was barefoot. And if I remember correctly, the same thing staggering on it wasn't this our staggering when we leave a track line is a biped humanoid were side to side this track line was more one front more of a straight line type of situation and um uh david politis in some of his research talks about this and his videos that that's characteristic of theirs so between the stride and the prints that were clear enough to see the toes across the front and the size of the prince.

It was pretty obvious what it was. It was a big foot track line. Let's go, girls. You know what I love about Addy? Everything? Well, yeah, but it's as little as 20 bucks a month. Ooh, well, the little pink pill has always been a pretty big deal. A really big deal. I'd call that a good investment. Che-chang. Man, I feel like a woman. Meet Addie, the little pink pill.

And at this time, I was kind of nervous because, you know, I'd been shot in the face. I had this, whatever that creature was in Colorado.

I had this thing screaming at me in the caldera, and I just seen something running down the side of the road. And I wasn't heavily armed. All I had was a 32-ACP, Caltech P-32, with the extended 10-round magazine and one down a tube and I didn't have a spare magazine and I didn't have spare ammunition. I did have it loaded with hard cast lead. So it was something that if I had to, it would take down a wolf or a cougar or if you did a mag dump. I'm sure with good shot placement, it would stop a brown bear.

So it was essentially just for wildlife protection. And, you know, once I hit that track line, I actually, I should have taken a picture of it. And the reason I didn't is I was nervous. I wasn't, you know, shaking in my boots, scared, but I was uncomfortable. So I just walked across it, brought the bike with me, went a couple more miles, and then the charge was getting low on the bike.

And I didn't want to run out of electricity to be able to get back where I'd have to push the bike, you know, part of the way. So I never made it to the Dark Divide Meadow and turned around and they came back and it was uneventful after that. Load up the bike, went back home. So about a month ago, I bought a a MB 200, which is kind of a glorified mini bike. It's got the big balloon tires and a front and rear suspension

in front rear shock absorbers. It's a really good trail machine. And it's light, and you don't have to worry about picking up a heavy motorcycle if you dump it. And so I put that in the back of the Ranger pickup truck and went down. Badger Mountain is about, I don't know, 15, 16 miles, air miles due south of Randall, Washington. And on one of the shoulders of Badger Mountain is a seasonal lake. It's probably about, I don't know, 150 yards wide by 250 yards long. And it's just perfect for remote landing zone.

It's pool table, smooth, grass, no bushes, just, and it's completely surrounded. a large tall tree line and half of it on one side drops off down about 1,500 feet into a ravine or into a valley. So you've got essentially only one way in and one way out. One side is so steep that it's impenetrable, you know, barring extreme mountaineering. And the other side, there's about a five-mile climb switchbacks that you need high ground clears four by four to get up to. And my plan is to get up there and do some meditating. And I've been in there a couple of times, but I haven't been there long enough to do an overnight and set up camp and get out a nice lounge chair and do meditating. And with the Bigfoot presence, there's a security component to it.

So about a month ago, I get to the intersection, and I can't remember the number of the Forest Service Road, but it's the main road that the auxiliary road comes off of that goes up the side of Banjah Mountain to get to the dry lake bed where the LZ is. And I parked my ranger, I get out my camp, my folding camp chair, set it up, a little folding table and stuff. And the CE5 app from Dr. Greer's organization has a whole protocol, a telepathy protocol for communications. And it's my understanding from some of my special forces military contacts, that the ships have consciousness-assisted technology where essentially our brains

are electrical devices and they produce electrical energy. And your thoughts are a form of transmission similar to a radio transmission. And that these ships have computers that can scan, do scans, and our secret space program probably is something similar now, but the ETs have it where they can locate a human, and if they pick up a communication attempt, they can establish reciprocal communication. And previous to a month ago, this spring I was up there, and I did make it up to the dry lake bed,

and I got what, from my experience, would be, It wasn't a thought. It was a telepathic communication. It wasn't really a voice in my head. It was more what it said was, won't you be with us? And it was very pleasant and very inviting. And it was about 3 o'clock in the morning. And I had gotten up to believe myself, and I had stepped out of the truck because I was sleeping across the front of the bench seat. and one of the security concerns or issues is that in this forest you have a heavy fog that comes and it goes and its location sensitive and it's either natural or it's something that can be materialized and directed with directed energy technology and when I'd gotten up to, after I'd heard that communication and then exited the vehicle, it was just pea soup, London fog.

You know, you couldn't see 100 feet. So I did a test and got out my handgun, turned down the tactical light, turned down the laser, and it could only go as far as I could see with my eyes, which was only about 100 feet. And I've got a lot of electrical equipment, research equipment, digital stereo recorder, thermal imaging camera that plugs into the USB port on a smartphone. And I had the thermal camera with me. So I got the thermal camera out, plugged it in, fired up the smartphone, and did a scan. And the thermal will go right through the fog. So in a worst-case situation, if you're concerned about getting attacked by a non-conventional hostile,

and they do the fog thing where it just happens that you have to be in a fog area where you can't see, you can do a thermal scan, and the thermal will pick up any heat signatures. And I can see the entire tree line all the way around because the trees are a different temperature than the ground and the air. So that was an indication that if I do a contact doc at the LZ, you know, that I've got some, and I didn't respond to the won't you be with us because for one, I had to relieve myself and for the other, once I got up and saw the environment that I was in, I realized I was vulnerable. So I departed. And that was this spring. A month ago, I go up there to the intersection. And I, you know, The contact that Dr. Greer has for the CE5, one of the introductory components of it before you get into the meditation part, is he's got a recording of a crop circle formation in England. Somebody was there and they watched the crop circle being formed. And I think it's probably done with some sort of directed energy technology and sound technology because they recorded the sound. of the formation and it's a very unique set of chimes and you know it's clear that it's some sort of

advanced audio technology almost like you know a synthesizer or something so i played it once i had i had a Bluetooth speaker and i played it once at a low volume just to start the contact app procedure and then the second time i turned it up so it would broadcast you know a pretty good distance around me and that turned out to trigger um uh another one of these screaming uh creatures some people call them uh devil monkeys because they sound like demons if you listen to that recording that i sent to you it's it's a very scary and very disconcerting uh vocalization it's not something where whoever is doing that to you is like, hi, how are you? You know, let's get to know each other.

I'll come over and, you know, have some apples with you or whatever. It's, you know, like it's a malevolent evil spirit type of thing. And I'm not saying all bigfuts are like that. It's just these two particular vocalizations that I've encountered. That's what I've experienced. So it was only about 15, 20 seconds maybe into a three minute. and 38 second recording. And again, the Bigfoot starts, that creature starts screaming, but it wasn't as close as it wasn't

the Calder. I'd estimated it was 200 to 400 yards west of my position. And these are very steep ridge lines and valleys, and the echo acoustics is strong. So when they really let loose and they start screaming, it actually, goes throughout the whole amount throughout the whole area and it's kind of tough to zero in on exactly where it's coming from but the net result was that I was hit with an adrenaline dump. You know, from my military experience and life experience, I knew that this was a dangerous situation and I was concerned that they were going to close on my position. So I folded up my camp chair, put it in the back of the ranger and left. I had a loaded,

I had a 32 ACP pistol in my pants pocket, a 40 Smith and Wesson pistol in my jackpocket, a loaded 357 Magnum Revolver, and an unloaded soft case of folding 40 Smith and Wesson carbine in the truck cab, but I didn't want to have to use them. And, you know, these are mainly for personal protection. These aren't to get involved in a knockdown, drag out fight with one or more, large, dangerous, hostile entities. And I do have 357 Magnum and 44 Magnum Revolvers and 45 Super and 10-millimeter pistols, 556, 762 by 39, and 30-0.36 assault rifles, and pump and magazine-fed semi-automatic 12-gauge shotguns, assault shotguns, pistol grip the same as an AR-15.

So what I'm planning now is to go in heavily armed. And not that I want to conflict, but I don't want to be intimidated out of it. So if these things want to come up and have an interaction, they want to have a positive interaction, that's fine. I bought a weight bench, like in a gym for doing bench presses and dumbbell presses, and it's adjustable where you can adjust the height up, and then it's got the T-shaped legs or feet at the bottom, and it's rated for 600 pounds, but it probably holds a thousand pounds. So when I do set up a campsite at the LZ, I'm going to bring the bench and set it up and set it up high, and put it across from the table. And if a big foot wants to come in and sit down, according to David Politis,

some of them speak fluent English. And if they want to either have a mind-speak conversation or an audible verbal conversation, and if they're amenable to it, I've got a tripod with a camcorder, and I'll set that up with a shotgun mic that will pick up the sound without having to be mic, like you and I are.

And we can have a conversation. And I can send it to you, and if you think it won't get scrubs off the internet, you can, you know, run it. And, you know, if it turns up that they are extraterrestrials, and part of their task here is to assist us in our transition from being a terrestrial bound civilization to being an extraterrestrial civilization. you know, I kind of think that's part of the phenomena is that they're here to participate in our transition into becoming an extraterrestrial civilization. So that's kind of the extent of my Bigfoot experience in, you know, what I've got planned for the future. Wow, Richard. That's extremely incredible. I've been following along when you've been sharing. about the places you've been going to some really intense locations. And I know we're not really going into specifics like where the, like the Caldera is, the LZ.

We're probably not going into specifics about where that is in the forest, correct? Right. Right. But I mean, it's somebody that wants to do research, you know, if they really wanted to apply themselves, they could figure out where it is. but, you know, the chances of them being there when I'm there, you know, is remote. And I think that essentially what Bigfoot interaction people are is their contactees. If Bigfoot's are extraterrestrials or extraterrestrial contactee, and they're chosen, or they just happen to be in the right place at the right time.

And, you know, if the Bigfoot's want to interact, you know, they will. And if they are, you know, a sentient, intelligent space-faring race, and the surface population here is not, you know, not only are they at an advantage technologically, but, you know, I don't know what their IQs are or what their psionic abilities are, but my understanding is that part of psionics is genetic. So, you know, we're not particularly predisposed to telepathic communication, but we have enough capability that if we train ourselves and practice it, that we can do it. But if you're born with genetics that where telepathy is just a normal and natural, you know, part of your life, then, you know, they have a leg up on us because they can make. read our mind essentially. And, you know, I think that's part of the phenomena is that not only are they technologically more advanced, but they may be mentally more advanced with comparable or higher IQs, plus more advanced to psionic capability to, you know, masks themselves, you know, whether

they have cloaking technology where they can become invisible, or they can, they can can put some sort of psionic block so that if you see them, they may be able to make some sort of distraction or put some sort of screen vision or something where you don't see them, even though maybe your eyes would pick them up under normal situation because they're focusing on you. I mean, I don't know. I'm just speculating here. But one other op that I want to run is that there's a cave, there's a lava tube system in the southern Gifford Pinchot. I forget what it's called Falls Creek or something like that. And it's about a two-mile-long system.

And if there are connections between some of these cave systems and some of the inner earth civilization tunnels, One of my, part of my research educates that there are audible keys where you can have a certain, play a certain noise, and the door will open, whether it's a hard light hologram that diffuses and you can walk through that and then get into their tunnel system or whether it's some sort of physical door, I don't know, but I want to take the crop circle record. and go into that cave and just do an experiment. Richard, it feels like we could have, it feels like we could talk for another conversation. I think you're about to get into some really wild stuff, and I think we need to keep in contact about what happens

because the areas that you're referring to are extremely active. I mean, just the Gifford Pinchot in general is an extremely active place, right? But I definitely want to keep in touch with you as you continue to do your research with the LZ. You are into some absolutely fascinating stuff. Yeah. Thank you very much. Thank you, Richard D. Priest, Jr. for being on the show. Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners.

If you're in the military, any branch, or forces, and if you've seen something, that no one can explain, or if you're a national park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI, a federal agency, or working intelligence, and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about, and if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder, who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense, if you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field or trucker with government contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul and if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist or a field researcher

under contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or anything with clearance, and you've seen what the public hasn't, then I want to talk to you.
