Bigfoot Society - Girl Scout Spots Bigfoot in Illinois

Episode Date: September 10, 2025

What happens when childhood memories of strange creatures in the woods come rushing back — and they turn out to be real? In this chilling episode of Bigfoot Society, we bring you eyewitness encounters from Georgia, Tennessee, Illinois, New Mexico, and even the Canadian wilderness. You’ll hear from a man who saw a Sasquatch take five massive steps across a football field in Rex, Georgia — and remembers a time when Clayton County was the “Bigfoot capital of the world.” A mother in Tipton County, Tennessee recounts terrifying stories of shredded tents, missing campers, government response teams, and blood trails that disappear into the forest. You’ll meet a Girl Scout who saw Bigfoot vanish in the woods of Orland Hills, and a man whose father — a trucker — saw a creature with fur and a jacket tapping on his door in the middle of the night. These aren’t legends. They’re firsthand accounts. And they may change what you think you know about Sasquatch.🗣️ 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📧 Business Inquiries:[e-mail]

I tell myself, it's not about comparing. But then I start wondering, what can they lift? Are they adding more weight to their barbell than I am? And suddenly, I'm not training. Then I realize my journey is not theirs. I've earned every step. So I smile. My smile is the shape resilience takes to keep me moving.

Good to see you again.

Yeah, I came on your live a few nights ago. Oh, yeah, I remember. Yeah, I'm kind of uncomfortable about that, man, but I kind of did some research and got to talk to some of my friends. This spot, man, where I'm at, I'm like, it all came rushing in after I started talking to you. This place was the big foot, small bigfoot capital pretty much of the world where I'm at now. It's heading a nice little place right by the military base. I want you to check out this is 2008. It was a Bigfoot.

It was actually was a cop and personating the Bigfoot. And when they caught him, he had all type of raccoon skins. This is true story. It's Clayton County, Georgia, 2008, Bigfoot. A cop was a person named the Bigfoot. We used to have so many Bigfoot sightings and stuff like, yeah. It was just like we knew the big one was going to be standing at it. Every day we go to school.

And it was a lot of people impersonate Bigfoot. So it was like a Bigfoot craze around here in 2008. And it was going on so wild. Actually, we used to make jokes like the Bigfoot's were looking at the people dressed like Bigfoot crazy. Oh, wow. Yeah, I didn't even think it was so deep. And there was a coma store on Highway 42 and Farage Pawry.

I think it was we used to call it Rascals. It was the store had, you know, the guy, would come out and wash your windows, but it still had the gas station, the old pumps, like the 1930 pumps. And it used to be a big foot at that store door, and people used to put the cigarette ashes out, like where they had the hands open. I didn't realize that with that serious. I had to think about it.

I was like, yeah, I remember this stuff, man, around here. Then I was telling you about I knew I seen a big foot, you know, he can run like maybe five steps in the football field. But then I realized the reference for that, when we was at junior high, it used to be one standing at the end of the football field. This Adamson Junior High School in Rex, Georgia. And we used to see it every day. And then all of a sudden, we were like, you're getting closer and closer. One day he's going to end up at the school.

And, you know, everybody was kind of on alert watching this thing. And one day we came out of, I know it was a track so it was early in the morning. It's kind of warm. And he was like almost at the end of the football field, you know, closer to the school. And he kind of looked at us. And when he took off, that's, that's, that's, I had to remember the reference. When he took off, that's how I knew it was exactly five steps to cover football fields. Because he took five steps and everybody, the coach and everybody was watching them.

And he covered their football field. And he just went off in the woods. And that was his area. He used to be out there. Back then, it was like a little yellow, yellow plums. and like the little big ones, they just grow wild and stuff like that. He used to be out there eating that stuff. But we used to see him every day and around that area before they built Highway 675.

You could see one at his own little spot. We had gave him names and stuff. You would see him out in the past and you know what time of day he would be there. I didn't realize it was that serious, man. And then I kind of were holding back. But around here, it's Highway 42 and Forest Parkway and Rex, Georgia. This used to, man, we used to see him so much, it wasn't even nothing anymore. It was nothing.

And it was a place called Town of Church. Now, that kind of, when we saw it, it used to be a big one out there. I mean, he was the biggest one that we used to see. And he hung out of the back of his church. It's kind of like in a cold saying you really had to know where it was at. but that one right there we kind of thought that he was

watching something, guarding something right there behind this church. It had a graveyard behind him and it was an old graveyard but he always stood right there and it looked like he was like he had something back there.

He didn't want nobody about it. He was the biggest one he had to be about. The reference I got with that I remember a basketball go because I just see him at the park. And I know 10 feet from the ground to the rim is 10 feet. This average one was saying. And this one that we're saying, he would be the headboard.

His head would be as high as the headboard on the basketball. So I don't know if that's 13 feet or 14 feet, but he was like that. But if you check that out, man, the 2008, anything around like Clayton County, 2008, this man, it was like a joke. It was like a joke, man. We were seeing them so much and people were clown around. I used to see people, man,

jump out in front of cars and the guerrilla suit. It was actually a lot, man, around here, man. When they built Highway 675, that's come from a 285 and it'll be 75 going toward Florida. In that duration,

when they built that, I remember them. I remember, I remember, him ascending the bridge, the construction coming, when Ashley walked across the bridge, when it was only just that, going through the rails and the rail and all that to get to the other side. I used to hunt. When they built that, them bigfoot's, man, they came out, man, by the tens and the 20s. You will see them everywhere. You will see just one, and you know where he'll be at it.

Every day he'll just be there. You know, that was his spot. You know which one is. and we'll be in the woods and they'll be standing around, just watching you and stuff. And that was normal for us. And I'm like, I don't know what's going. I've been holding a while I said,

but I really be watching a lot of people trolling other people when they come out and try to tell somebody. They got crazy and stuff, but I don't find myself in some of the number one places in the world. I told you I painted Fas and Fury when Paul Walker died, I was there. And I honestly did the first burnout on the four-well. in the studio. Oh, my goodness. Wow. I don't care what nobody got to say about me.

So I really like this because I ain't seen too many people, dawling people out, but I'm telling you the truth. I feel like I'm here right now to kind of enlighten people that really have seen this and really know because we all hitting the same key points. And we can probably come out with what we've seen and match it up and do some AI and come up with a real picture of what this thing look like. Because it's, it's, it's, and match it up and do some AI and come up with a real picture of what this thing look like. Because it's, it's, it's to other people that seen it that know about this.

It'll get kind of boring to us, because we all know, okay, yeah, we know that, that. It's only five or six different things, distinct things that make this even. look, you know, we can make a picture so we can come up with a composite just by the four or five simple things that we know about it, man. A lot of, I can tell you now, a lot of people are going to get bored when they see that this thing is not a monster. That's interesting. That's very interesting.

And I see it like, I've been looking, man. I feel like I can talk about it. But I see a lot of people on the AI all going to go. graphics and they're making this, you know, to realize I can see how some of this could be for money. Exactly, you know, the scare. And I can see people, if somewhere actually see one or something like that, we get some pictures, I can see that people will lose a lot of money. When they notice that this kind of look like your uncle that's on steroids, this got hair out over. That's a true story.

But in reference to, you know, you're looking for any proof. roof or anything. You check that story out. That's 2008 Clayton County, police officer, and you know from that area around and just going to be the rawest ground. And it's not much left, but you might can ease that way. If you know what you know, you might find your one. There's a, there's a question we're getting. Do you remember how the shoulder width of it compares to the width of the basketball goal? I really can't. I can just remember looking at the basketball goal and seeing him behind it and I can see that he was about tall and stuff like that.

I'm really new to telling anybody like that, but I have been programmed sometimes to make myself think in other ways. I would talk like that in school. So if I keep trying to remember if the ears were like this and the, eyes were like that, it'll ruin my, what I really have. So this is new to me. So one day I come out and might just tell you everything I've seen, but right now I want to just kind of keep it fresh. But that one, the big one, man, the biggest one is saying his head,

the tip of his head is going to be by the top of basketball, though. And it's show he is big. It's wide. I can't know if it's three, four feet, but he is big. and no hair on his face. It kind of looked like a guy on steroids. He's got a very distinct nose, lips. You can tell that it's a person.

We look like a watered down version of it. Our face and skin is kind of smoothed out. When you look at him, you were like, oh, that's a guy. You know, it looks like that. Big old flat square teeth. The only thing I can reference is somebody could. I remember also the land of the loss or something. Mm-hmm.

The little thing. Yeah, it kind of looked like that. But the forehead one, like, it actually looked like maybe a strong guy on Down syndrome. I hate to read your reference like that. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

I've heard that from a few people before, but, yeah, I appreciate you coming up again and chatting a little bit more. It's good to hear from you. Hey, thanks, brother. but in reference of that man this little town was a big foot hot spot and it got so bad people actually playing games with this and they were actually getting in trouble that's wild absolutely wild wow thank you for coming up man okay good stuff hey step how's great great are you coming up to share a big foot encounter you've had today yeah it wasn't today but yes so this would have been back in like, oh man, I want to see like 2005 or six, maybe, maybe even a little bit before that, 2004.

I was a kid, I went to Girl Scout camp. This was in, I think it's in Orland Hills, Illinois. But I remember like the group of girls that I was with, they kept like saying that, like, it was very, hearsay thing, we're all little kids, but they were like, oh, well,

somebody saw, like a big foot in the woods. And then it was kind of like snowballing into like different stories, like, oh,

well, they saw different colored ones. Someone said they saw white ones. Someone said they saw brown. Someone said they saw black. But I remember being on like a hike with all of these other girls. And I was so fascinated

by potentially seeing this creature. So I remember, like, really, really looking in the woods. And I swear I saw, like, a brown one sitting and, like, eating. And I, like, turned to, like, talk to somebody to, you know, see if anybody else had seen it. And then, like, before I could get anyone's attention and I turned back, around. It was just gone. Then there was another day at camp where I thought I saw this white one that other people were talking about, like, almost, I guess, like, in my mind as a child, it came off as, like, swinging from branches, almost like a monkey would. But now if I, like, think about it as an

adult, it probably would have been just, like, walking and, like, swinging its arms. But again, it was just, like, a really, really short, like, glimpse of it. And I've always wondered, like, if I had just made it up or whatever because of, like, the hearsay. I always thought it was interesting because if you look back into, like, the, I forget what it's called, but, like, the Bigfoot Archive, the map, there are like sightings in that area so I've always wondered like if I had seen it or if it was just something that my brain made up yeah because this is just south of Chicago right

yeah it's like south southwest-ish looking at it right now yeah yeah they definitely are yeah it's also funny there was another guest you had the other night he said he was in the Chicago area and that he had seen one by the river and I grew up like very, very, very close to where he was talking about. And it would not surprise me one bit if he did see something over there because it's like, it's a small area, but it's a very like dense forested area.

and it's not like super, at least when he was talking about it, he said it was like 15 years back or so, but it's not like a super congested area. I wouldn't have been at that time. So, yeah, I'm pretty sure this area is like active. It's just like very small pockets of like where it's active because of how urban a lot of it is. But yeah, I know.

also I wanted to just like ask your thoughts because like I listen to your I watch your TikTok live a lot but there was another guy the other day he was mentioning how like or he asked you if you thought that Bigfoot was like an interdimensional creature and I know like Bigfoot is associated a lot with like paranormal So that's another thing too is where like I have always experienced the paranormal since I was a kid. So I feel like with my encounter, like what I thought was my encounter, if that was like, so a paranormal encounter versus like a true Bigfoot siding. And I just wondered your thoughts on like, how do you feel about like, you know, the people that have these sightings, do you think something correlates where it's like, okay, these individuals are people who may be like inclined to have like a sixth sense or

they're seeing things that other people might not see? So, and I want to make sure I get to. The question, right? Yeah. So you're asking, are you asking if there's a pattern between the types of people that have sightings like this? Yeah. Yeah. Or like, you know, like if people like, for like lack of a better way to put it, like if you see like spirits or if you see ghosts or other creatures.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So what I've noticed is that usually people that have a sighting, I can ask them. have you had other things happen? And more often than not, yes, they've had other things happen in their life where, you know, they're experiencing maybe stuff that could be said paranormal events at home. They might be able to sense things about people.

There's usually other stuff going on, not just the one sighting of Bigfoot. So, yeah, it's like they are sensitive to other things as well. Yeah, yeah. I was going to say, I mean, like, I've never been, like, I've never seen, like, spirits. I've seen shadows and things like that. I did have a UFO sighting. But, yeah, that's really interesting that, that, like, correlates. It just had me thinking about, like, what that guy was saying about interdimensional thing.

And, you know, it's pretty interesting how, like, all of those things and, like, cryptids in general kind of coincide with that. So, thank you for answering the question. Yeah, yeah, you got it. No problem. Go ahead. Oh, I was just going to ask you, do you know if there are any other, like, creators, either on TikTok or maybe like Twitch or something that do pretty much what you do, but. Right. Yeah.

Well, so, let me think. So I don't know anything about Twitch, so I can't have. help you there, but I do know, and he's in here, so he can put a comment so you can see him. Squatch and Holler is good. Another creator, A-R-H-A-R-A-N, is really good, too, with stuff like this. Okay, awesome. Thank you. Cool.

Would it be all right if I use your account on my Bigfoot podcast that I have? Yeah, absolutely. Awesome. Like the audio from it, yeah. Yeah, that's fine. Cool. All right. Well, thank you for sharing stuff and great question. All right. Thank you so much for having me. You got it. Good stuff. Hi there. How are you? Hi, how are you?

Great. Are you coming up to share a Bigfoot account today? Sure. Well, my first encounter happened when I was, I think, five years old. Me and my mother and my sister and cousin were in Tennessee. We're in Tennessee, and we were at this creek that was really known for Bigfoot. Like, people's pigs were coming up half-eaten and other animals, you know, like they wouldn't eat the whole animal. They would just, like, rip them apart and just eat certain parts of them. And, of course, he was spotted a lot. And a couple of people recently in the same area called them on their cam, on their house camera.

Well, when I was five, we went to this creek to go swimming. It was, I mean, the creek wasn't deep at all. It might have came maybe the middle of my shin at five years old. So we were following the creek and we came up on these huge footsteps. And at the time I was five years old, I didn't know anything about Bigfoot, but my mom did. And it was this really, really bad smell. like it's a smell i will never forget ever it like sticks with you so we followed the steps and there were limbs hanging over you know into the creek you know woods so we come up on this one

limb and there was some brown hair like it snagged some hair off of it and it stunk so bad well the footsteps went a little further and then they stopped and crossed the creek so here we're we were, we were following the steps and going to cross the creek. We got about, the creek was maybe 30 foot wide, you know. We got about middle ways of the creek and then we heard something on the other side. And it was this, this, after hearing the noises on YouTube and stuff, I know for a fact that this is what it was. So, yes, we heard it on the other side of the creek.

And so, of course, we turned and was coming back across the creek. We were running. My mom and us little ones were running back to the car, back to the bridge. It was chasing us on the other side. And it was grunting and growling and just, it was the most scariest moment of my whole life. You know, as a child, here we are running and screaming and crying. and we never saw it, but we heard it. And so after we got up on the bridge and got away from it, got in the...

We never saw it, but we heard it. And so after we got up on the bridge and got away from it, got in the car, you know, I asked my mom, I was like, what was that? You know, it had three toes, just three toes. And I remember her telling me that that was a big foot. in the same area, a few years later, I was about nine years old. My aunt, my dad's sister, lived right down the road from the same creek. And we had moved in with them. And one night, I remember my dad and my uncle, we heard something, he heard it outside.

He heard something outside. So, of course, he grabbed his gun, and they went outside. And we heard a couple of shots. And then my dad come and my uncle come running through the door. And all I remember is hearing him yelling, I hit it, I hit it. And they seen blood, but they never found it. They heard it yelping and stuff like that, but it had done ran so far away. Apparently, I guess they know to maybe pack mud or something to stop the bleeding because the bleeding stopped.

So therefore they couldn't find it. And then I have another story. I live on the Mississippi River about an hour north of Memphis. And in this little town, a friend that worked with my husband, he saw, this was like in town, like behind the high school. Of course, it's woods, you know.

Mabelene, New York. But he saw a white Bigfoot. He saw it, I mean, plain as day, it was standing right there on the side of the road.

And this was probably 18 years ago. and he still shook up about it. So, and he won't really talk about it much because a lot, you know, how people are, you know, they don't believe him, this and that. So he won't really talk about it much. But he swears that he saw it. And there's another incident that happened in our bottoms with, he swears that he saw it. And there's another incident that happened in our bottoms with me and my husband. We were, it was late one night and we have a river that runs into the Hatchee, I mean into the

Mississippi River. It's a small river called the Hatchie River. I think it starts in like Alabama and it comes all the way down through Tennessee into the Mississippi River. And we're not far from the Mississippi River where we were at on the Hatchie River. but we go down this hill and then it's a parking lot with a boat ramp where people launch their boats and stuff

and there was no one down there. We were by herself and we had our windows down. It was summertime. And when we went down the hill, both of our hairs just stood up on the back of our neck. The smell was unreal. And I told him, I said, I remember this smell when I was a kid.

And my husband is six foot seven. He's not scared of anything. But this night, it scared him enough. And I had to urinate, but I had to hold it because I was too scared to get out and go there. So we just haltailed it. About a year ago, a good friend of mine and her good friend were riding the same bottoms, the same road. and she saw one, a brown one, she saw one leap in front of her, in front of them, she said it took like, it was on one side and it took one step in the middle of the road, like it just one leap,

and it was gone. It was on one side, and it took one step in the middle of the road, it like it just one leap, and it was gone. And to this day, she still will not go. down there. And I was sitting on my front porch one night. And I kind of think we have a youth Sasquatch, like a young one, behind our house that kind of comes and goes. Maybe it was just coming through or something. I don't know. But I was, it was about one in the morning. And I had my grandkids here, and we don't smoke in the house when my green kids are here. So I was outside about 1 a.m. and I was just smoking my cigarette and I heard something and it went whoop, whoop. It did it about three times, two or three times.

And then it sounded like it picked up like two kind of small rocks, not big ones, and you could hear them clank. It clanked them three or four times. And I immediately knew because I do a lot of big foot research. I was like, whoa, you know, there is, I think it's a teenage, like youth, Sasquatch back there and I told my husband about it. I haven't heard it since, but I will say that around the same time, I've seen a UFO hovering in the same woods, just directly behind my house, maybe 300 foot behind my house. There's just a line of woods. And they're not very wide, but it was just hovering there.

And then all of a sudden, it just disappeared. And my son, at the time he was probably, he's 30 now, but at the time he was probably 14, he has a friend that lives on the other side of the woods, and he was walking home one night, and he was with the friend that lives next door to us, so it was two of them. And he's seen this glowing kind of neon green,

human-looking thing walking towards him. And he thought it was somebody with a flashlight. So it didn't bother him at first until it got closer, until he realized this thing is glowing. And it looked human. So they come running in the house. And my son doesn't lie like that. Like he doesn't, you know, make up stuff.

Especially I could tell when my son's lying to me. You know, his mom, I can tell. And they were white as ghosts. They were terrified. They were like, this thing was just walking towards us, and then they just took off running. The next two nights, I was standing out by the garage, and I was looking out towards those same woods. And I seen a yellowish ball, maybe the size of a basketball, and it was floating in the air about, midways up the trees, about in the middle of the tree, tree line, you know, along the field.

So, yeah, that was kind of scary for us. So we definitely have one here. And when I was a kid, there was a couple that came down from Europe. And they stopped in Memphis. And they wanted to to bicycle, you know, ride their bicycles from Memphis to Dyersburg, which is a few miles from where I am, quite a few miles. They wanted to just ride their bicycles, you know how people just ride their bikes, travel or whatever they ride. Right, okay, they were riding along the Mississippi River. Well, they decided to camp at the end of the Hatchie River that I was talking about that runs into the Mississippi River. So they were on the corner of the Mississippi River. So they were on the corner of these two rivers. And so the next morning, there was a hunter that pulled up. He pulled his

boat up and he walked about five foot into the woods and he seen a tent shredded. There were clothes everywhere. There was blood. And so immediately he called the police. He hung around there to see what was going on. He's sitting his boat kind of docked off the bank a little bit. And Marines came in. They all had guns, police. I can't even explain. National Guard, all kinds of people come in with guns. Apparently they knew what it was. They found the people shredded to pieces, shredded to pieces. And so, The man said that after they found the tent, that he heard a bunch of shooting. He said it sounded like a war going off in the woods.

And then the next thing he knew, it was a helicopter. And he said it was something really huge. They pulled up out of the woods with a blue tarp over it. And he said, whatever this thing was was very, very big. And, of course, he couldn't see because they had a tarp over it. But I already know that it was a big foot because it's... It's rumored that it was a big foot that attacked these people because there's a big foot that goes up and down this Hatchie River. It lives along this Hatchie River.

Now you go a few miles up this Hatchew River down this Hatchie River. It lives along this Hatchie River. Now you go a few miles up this Hatchew River, probably four or five miles. And there was another incident with another person. with a tent that a hunter found with the same thing. Clothes scattered everywhere, tent, shredded up, and the man was shredded to pieces. And the same incident, the National Guard came in, Marines, or whatever you want to call Graham Barretti, whatever they were, I don't know.

But they shot this one also, and they pulled it out with a helicopter. So I'll tell you where it's at. It's Tipton County in Tennessee. It's about an hour north of Memphis on the Mississippi River. And if you go down the Mississippi River a little bit, there's a small river that goes off to the right. It's called the Hatchie River. And so that's where a lot of our sightings are. So that was pretty scary.

Wow. And my husband hunts down there a lot. And he was down there one night. You know, he's not, he would, he coon hunts. we have coon dogs. And so he said he was down there hunting one night with the dogs. And it was no wind, absolutely no wind whatsoever. But this huge tree he heard crackling and fell over.

And I guess in a sense he kind of knew what it was. So he kind of just yelled out, you know, I'm not here for nothing, but I'm just hunting my dogs. I'm not here to harm you. you know, I'm not here to bother you. And nothing ever happened. He said it was just like it just went away. So, yeah, we've had quite a bit of experiences down in these Hatchy River bottoms with the Bigfoot. But with the white one, yeah, with the white one being seen in town, that was pretty cozy.

And this one was solid white. but the ones that were saying down at the rivers were brown. So, yeah, I just thought we were. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Well, thank you for sharing. The ones at the beginning, when you're talking about the creek or the stream, was that Tipton County as well, or is that a different area?

That was in the next county over in Lauderdale County. That's where I was born. and raised up until I was nine years old, and then I moved to Tipton County, which is south of Lardale County. Gotcha. Wow, this is extremely helpful information because I don't get a lot from Western Tennessee.

Right, right, right. Well, there's definitely some here. Definitely some here. The audio from this conversation, would I be able to use it on my Bigfoot podcast? I have absolutely sure all right well I appreciate you coming up and and Sharon thank you're welcome thank you for allowing me to come up and and tell my story hi there how are you hi are you there yeah yeah are you coming up to share bigfoot

experience you've had yeah I have actually one actually two that happened one that I think was a a Bigfoot and one that I think was a different story, but I think it might be interesting for the people that are listening. The first one was I was living in New Mexico, in rural northern New Mexico, about 30 years ago, I guess it is now. And I was driving through like around like the Los Alamos area, and it's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful area. But I was, you know, something told me to pull over to the side of the road. I don't know why. And I wound up pulling over and there was like this like sort of a copse of like a forest that had trees that were sort of like bent over like they were like I don't know, they made U-turn somehow. I don't understand it. But I thought it was kind of interesting and I was taking some pictures. And then all of a sudden I felt like an absolute sense like I was in. terrible danger. And, you know, here's the thing. Like, I had no reason to feel that way. It was a beautiful day. I was enjoying my trip. And, you know, I was in a good mood and everything. And suddenly,

out of nowhere. And I've been following, I don't know if you know Steve Isdahl. Sure. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, I've been following a lot of what he says. And I'm like, I've rethought, because I thought it was like a evil spirit or something like that. But listening to Steve Isdahl, how they kind of get into your head. head and their territorial, I was, I've reconsidered what I thought happened to me there because I felt like I was trespassing on somebody's property, you know, like you don't want somebody to be in your backyard, you know, and I felt like they were mad at me and they wanted me out of there. And I'm telling you, I felt like I was about ready to die.

Like I had such a sense of terror for no reason because I didn't see anything. I didn't smell anything. You know, they say that there's usually a bad smell or something like that, but I didn't. And I was just invited out of that area. And from what I hear from Steve Isdal, I would say that they were being very nice to me, and I encountered a Sasquatch, and they didn't want me in their backyard, and they wanted me out of there. And, you know, I would say that it was a terrifying experience, but, you know, I think if they wanted to, you know, know if they wanted to do me harm they probably would have done harm to me you know they just

wanted me out of their territory now i don't know if if your if your audience might be interested i don't know first of all i don't know what you think about that that story but i mean it it lines up with i've heard many many different accounts like that where does it make sense that they start to feel the way they do but they get a feeling like you need to leave right now yeah so so now so now Now, my dad, my dad was, you know, I'm 56 years old. You know, my dad was, you know, in the 60s and the 70s, my dad was French-Canadian from Montreal, and he was a long-distance truck driver. So he spent a lot of time on the road, a lot of time in, you know, just sort of barren,

empty places and things like that. And he always told a story. Now, he was a big, you know, sort of blue collar, you know, truck driver. Like, he wasn't, he didn't like to sound stupid or anything like that. So he wasn't going to be telling a tall tale. But he was like, I saw Bigfoot. I saw Bigfoot. I saw Bigfoot.

And, you know, for years, you know, when he told this story, it was terrifying. He died. He died in 1984. It's been a long time since he's been gone. I remember as a kid, he used to always tell this story. He was very serious. and I, after listening to, you know, after giving it a lot of thought, and I'm only bringing it up because I think it's probably related to this, if people are interested in Bigfoot, they're probably also interested in feral people. and so my dad was a like I said he was a long-distance truck driver he was up in

Quebec you know and he pulled over on the side of the road and you know he had a you know a bunk in the back of his truck and you know he was about to just you know kind of go to sleep for the evening and and you know he said that you know after a while you know he was lying down and he heard footsteps outside the truck like you know crunching crunching on the gravel you know on the on the ground and so he's like well you know he didn't think much of it but he was like it's probably a deer or you know something you know some some kind of wildlife or something and he didn't think much of it but he said that he noticed that it circled his truck completely circled his truck and and he was feeling a bit nervous you know because that's kind of you know that's like

that's a calculated move you know i mean that's the you know that it kind of walked the back and it walked around and it was obviously survey it was a surveillance you know and he said that he really started to feel like his shackles were going up like he was really he did not feel good so he really had a problem because apparently he said that the the doorknob on his passenger side something was trying to move the doorknob now that's my goodness that's not an animal no So he's like, all right, it was locked, you know, and he was, you know, he was a big guy and he was like, I'm, he was scared. You know, he was scared. He's like, what is this?

There's something out there trying to get in. And so the footsteps went to the front of the truck and stopped. Like you could, you can hear if something moves off into the distance, you know? And he said he just stopped. Like, you could, you can hear of something moves. off into the distance, you know? And he said he just stopped. So he knew that the thing, whatever it was, was standing in the front of his truck. And he said, all right, you know, after a couple of minutes, he's like, I got to look. You know, I can't sleep. You know, I don't know what the hell

this is, you know. And so he turned on his headlights and he looked out the front window. And he said, now this is why he thought he saw a big foot. And I think it, I don't know, you can tell me what you think if it was a big foot or if it was a feral human. He saw man that he was wearing like a jacket and a hat and that he was wearing clothes apparently. Like I this is a long time ago. This is the 70s and 80s. The last time I heard that story, but it never left me. Like he was wearing clothes, but he was also fully covered in fur. and his eyes reflected in the headlights of the truck. So he was furry, but he was wearing clothes.

And finally, my father said, you know, he got so scared that he blew the truck horn, you know, the big horn. He blew it. And this, whatever it was, it went down on all fours. and it ran off on all fours into the forest. And he said after that, he never, he never, he always stayed at a hotel after that. And so I've heard something about a loop guru from French-Canadian mythology. A feral, I think it's a feral human. Maybe it was a big foot, but he was wearing clothes apparently.

So what do you think about that? So this is a tricky one. If I had to go off of my own encounters I've taken or that I've heard, I would go feral two, feral human two. But except for this, I have read a book called Where the Footprints End, and there's a section in it where there's multiple encounters of Bigfoot that are seen actually wearing different types of clothing. That's a tricky one. I would probably go towards Bigfoot because of what I'd probably go towards Bigfoot because of what

I read in that book. That is really weird, though. Yeah, I mean, like I said, that, that story always scared me as a kid. And my dad, you know, if we were having a barbecue, my dad would be like, you know, I saw a big foot one time. Like, he would tell that story like that. And, but I don't know. I mean, is it was, I think what I saw, what I personally encountered in New Mexico was a Sasquatch telling me to just get out of its backyard. Because there's no reason why I was having such a good time to automatically have a lightning bolt of terror. When I didn't see anything, I didn't smell anything. That meant that it was in my head, like it was getting inside me.

Exactly. But this other one was, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe it was a bigfoot. Maybe a bigfoot wants to wear a jacket. I don't know if it's cold. I don't know. But I don't know.

I just figured I'd share. A lot of people get mad. at me when I tell that story because they're like, I can't sleep now, you know? It's an intense one. I appreciate you sharing it. Would it be possible if I use the audio from that conversation and the Bigfoot podcast that I have? Yeah, sure. If you don't mind, that's fine with me.
