I'm going to talk about Glenn Adkins for a few minutes just so we're up to speed and then we'll get further into the interview. But a lot of listeners will be aware of the Ohio Bigfoot flap that the public information happened between 3-6 and 310 of 2026. And Glenn Adkins is the local Bigfoot researcher along with his team, the Ohio Squatch project, who's local to the area I've been partnering with. And so Glenn was able to come on for an interview, a timely interview. to share a bit about, you know, his background and also what he has experienced in the area doing some investigation.

So welcome to the show, Glenn. Anything else we need to know about you, bud? No, no, no, no. As far as the guys that are helping me, I have a postmaster and a science teacher. So they're pretty good guys, pretty well-educated, and they keep me balanced. I love it. And this, man, so future people that are not, that are down the road, maybe a few years, it's a very intense time just to give a little bit of background. I mean, I've talked to news organizations like Fox News and the New York Post has headed out there. And it's been international. So, but Glenn is, man, Glenn is handling it like a champ. He has, has. You know, Glenn, let's take some time. And how did you get involved with this Bigfoot feel to begin with way back in the day?

You know, like a lot of people my age, it's when the movies were coming out, the Bogie Creek. The documentary about Robert Morgan. And I remember going to see that and watching it. And I was totally just submerged in the whole, I want to be Robert Morgan when I grow up. Robert was in the area, northeast Ohio. He's actually from Canton, Ohio, which cracks me up. He's traveled the world. He's gone to Tibet.

He's gone to Russia. All these places to look for Bigfoot, and he could have stayed home in his backyard and done the same thing. But back then, it wasn't very popular. He was on the news on Channel 23 News, which is a local old station since it's not there. But I saw him one night and they were talking to him about a bigfoot sighting that happened east of Alliance Ohio. And I thought, man, oh man, Bob's in town. This would be the coolest guy to meet. So I called the news station and I said, hey, I'm a reporter from Kent State.

And I'm doing a for our Kent State paper. I didn't even know what the name of it was. I didn't even know if they had a paper. But they gave me Bob's information. So I called Bob. and I told Bob the same thing. And Bob was like, sure, I'll meet, let's have a beer. I'm like, you know, this is happening.

So I met Bob. The hardest part about meeting Bob was telling him, I'm not a reporter. I'm just one of those psychotic people that believe in Bigfoot and really enjoyed the movie you did. And, you know, I always wanted to meet you. And he looked at me. The only way Bob, you have to experience it. But when Bob looks at you like, what are you talking about?

You know, he has that specific look that you just kind of like, is he going to punch me or throat punch me or what's he going to do? And we actually became best of friends. I worked for him for about 10 years, constant, right-hand guy. I mean, if I wasn't at home, I was with Bob every day. And we started looking down in the Salt Fork area. We had some reports down there. He taught me so much about Native American history. and there's a whole other page to, you know, them walking around as animals.

There's, you know, the Indian beliefs, the Native American beliefs, the history of what they've done and what, you know, and a lot of times the question of why are they here type thing come up. And he had answers for that too. I recommend the books that he's written. He wrote a book called the Ohio Bigfoot Pocket Manual, or the Bigfoot Pocket Manual, sorry. It's a classic. It's my favorite book. Yeah.

And, you know, I was his guinea pig for that. Steve Jones and I, we didn't realize it at the time. He didn't tell us. But Steve Jones and I, we worked basically those whole, all those things that he did or talked about. We worked with Bob, and Steve and I had an encounter that was up close and personal, and I tell everybody, they let us see them. They had no reason to let us see them, but they did. It wasn't a, I saw it crossing the road, I saw it duck over the hill or standing behind a tree.

It was in the wide open standing there waiting for us to look. And it changed me at that point. then I, you know, it's one of those I had to do it type things. Okay, so what years would you say that you were spending this time with Robert W. Morgan? I'd say like 91, 92. Because my wife and I started dating in 91. And that's a weird conversation you have with their girlfriend who just got out of, you know, graduated with science degrees. and you say, that guy on TV, he looks for Bigfoot, he's my hero.

She looked at me like, you're an idiot, you know. But come to find out, she looks at me and says that a lot. But it keeps you humble, right? Oh, my gosh. You know, any guy who says he's smarter than their wife, he's not happy, because she keeps me in line. We've had that conversation. Yeah, yeah, my wife's the same.

She keeps me in line. I love it. So when you're hanging out with Robert W. Morgan or Robert, is this around the same time that he went on Art Bell and that classic interview or is that a different? That's the same time? Oh, my goodness. Yeah. With bugs. Wow.

Yeah, with bugs down Texas, right? Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Well, he was on Art Bell a couple times with doing that. he we had the wall street journal flying a reporter and come out in the woods with us all the major new all the major channels in cleveland area did a we did a press release and we did a interview session with robert and he went to kent state and akronew and did all the public speaking montel williams was another one who he had to take time off to fly out to l a to do montel williams i've seen

that one um but yeah he he was pretty popular right The thing is, Bob, kind of like the wind, he's there, and then he's not. He disappeared for years, and then he came back. And then now, you know, and then he would be gone for a while, and then he'd come back into it. And he did that just to, because it was so, such a catty group of people, the Bigfoot world, you know how that is. They, he didn't want to play games with it. He didn't want to participate in that part. he wanted to go about his business and do what he was doing and just leave it at that.

I mean, there were times we hid from people. Really? Hey, we're going to park our cars here and we're going to drop off here. Somebody else is going to park their car here and you're going to hike back to where we're at so nobody knows we're here. And we did that to get rid of people hoaxing us, trying to compete with us coming in on us. Because we were, you know, and if you look at the, the Bigfoot Pocket Manual. He talks about doing specific things over and over.

Let them know you're here. Let them know what you're doing, who you are. And I firmly believe that they knew when we were there because of music that we played every time. It was a habitual thing that we got there. We did these things. And they knew it was us. So they knew that they weren't in danger. We never, ever carried guns in that area.

We never provoked them. We gave them areas. where we knew that they were in, that we just didn't go. That's their home. You stay there and we're not going to, we're not going to barge in on your living room. It's so important. I think something that the entire community needs to learn is there needs to be a respect when you go into an area and even maybe some kind of communication that, hey, you know, we're here. Tom Seward said in a way, he's like, hey, you wouldn't just barge into someone's house and put your feet up.

You might want to say, is it okay if I come in, right? Right. That kind of deal. But I also want to point out that just as a footnote, you know, Robert W. Morgan, I've met him before at Small Town Monsters Monster Fest, actually in Canton. Yeah. And it was really cool to meet him and get my book signed. And he is just a gentleman where, you know, that documentary back in, I mean, he's a 70. Indies filmed out in Cougar, Washington.

Is it in search of Bigfoot is the name of it? It was. It changed names over the years. Yeah. Two or three different times when people bought the rights. True, true. So I'll have links to his book and to his documentary. He's at the point where he doesn't do interviews for, we'll say, for certain health reasons.

But he's just got an amazing life. And it's such a motivation to me and itself. and for what it's worth, thank you, Robert, for everything you did over the years. But, Glenn, a question for you. So then that kind of kicks you off. But were there any specific times over the years where you were actually, did you ever get to that point where you're actually able to have a visual of a big foot in the field? Or has it been more like Class B encounters?

No, no, no. Lots of Class B, I guess they call them encounters. We've heard whoops. We've heard screams. we've heard, you know, the knocking on trees. We've heard all these things. I was telling you the other day, my wife is hiking the Buckeye Trail, and they're hiking along when she's here as wood knocks.

Well, the friends with her just kept walking, didn't pay any attention to it. She knows what they are, and she's like looking around wondering what's happened. So there's a lot of activity in the area, but the biggest, Steve Jones and I, it was in August of, I want to say 91, but we were actually at Salt Fork doing our nightly thing that we always do. And Bob, another one of the little Bob's, he's like Buddhist part of the time, I think. But he hated the fact that we went fishing. He's like, oh, you're pulling these poor animals out of the lake.

They can't breathe. So Bob, and he was with another guy in our group at the, the time, they left to go across a lake on a ridge to sit for the night. As soon as he left, Steve and I are like, all right, let's get our fishing stuff out. Bob's now here. So we start unloading our fishing stuff, and it's only because we're going to be here for hours and we're bored. So we're getting our fishing stuff. We walk up to the edge of the lake, set our stuff down, and something flies in, a rock,

we assume, into the water ahead of us, a big splash. And we'd been here for nine months to a year doing it, working with this family or group of Bigfoot. And we're walking back to the truck. I said, well, at least we're going to be entertained tonight. He said, yeah, it seems like one of those nights. And we took the rest of our stuff back up to the lake. And another rock came flying in. I said, Steve, that didn't come from the woods.

That came from the road. Now, this road was actually at Hossack's Cave. and so forth. But the road dead ends into the water. And at the time, now there's like a cable that goes across, won't let you drive down or anything. But nothing was there at that point. You know, that was before Bigfooting was cool.

And, you know, I got stories all over the place. They used to throw us out. But anyway, we, I said, see, that came from down the road a little bit. That's not up in the woods. he says, yeah, I said, let's walk down there. So Steve and I started walking down. And for some reason, we weren't talking or anything,

but we both turned our flashlights on at the same time. And there he was. He was standing 15 yards, 10 yards away, in the middle of the road, looking at us. And I remember one of the people like, why did you get a picture? I'm telling you right now, getting a picture was the last thing on my mind.

I didn't know whether to run, poop my pants, what I was, you know, it was, this is, it was crazy. But I do remember watching it take a breath and thinking for a split second, it's not going to be any more oxygen to breathe after it breathed that in. Because it was so big and the breath you could hear it. And it was, it just looked at us. Didn't snarl, didn't growl, didn't, you know, try to intimidate or anything else. It was kind of, and it sounds stupid, but it was kind of one of those, we got our flashlights on it. We're looking at it. And it was kind of like, okay, this is what you came for.

Take your good look. Are you done? Great. Turn around and walked up a hill. That you can't walk up. but it walked up like it was going up the, you know, steps to the bedroom. And I remember turning, taking two steps, turning back, taking two more steps, looking at Steve saying, Steve, he's like, I know.

And he gets on a radio and he starts yelling, Bob, Bob, we have a siding. We have a siding. And I'm still running in a circle. I have no idea what I'm doing, you know, the panic, the adrenaline, everything that's going on. And it was just total chaos in those few seconds afterward.

You can order it through DoorDash and other major delivery platforms too. That's freedom to be. Use as directed. Oh, wow. That is one of the... When I'm thinking of like if I'm ever privileged enough to have a sighting, I mean, that is just like, that's right there. I mean, that's closer than the length of a tennis court, right? I mean, it's within 30 feet. Yeah, 30, 40 feet.

Yeah. It was definitely. And like I said, it's hard to explain how you feel at that point. But afterward, I mean, it's just you have such an adrenaline kick and rush. I mean, I was a fireman. I was a cop. You know, go play guns with bad guys and, you know, going to burning buildings. Always go, you know, it's never too hot.

It's never too scary. You just go and do it. You get this big adrenaline rush. And then when I retired, you know, I, it replaces it a little bit. But, you know, this was one of those times where you had to calm yourself, take a couple breaths, think about everything, you know, and Steve, he has since passed on,

but Steve was a great guy to witness it with. He was the host of WNIR, KNR, NIR, the outdoor hunting and fishing show. And that's how we got involved with him. He interviewed Bob and wanted to talk to, I listened to a show at work every night. So once I got in contact, when he wanted to interview Bob, and he fit right in with us.

I love that. That's such a cool story. So after you get Bob on the radio, were you able to track anything down, or was it just lost to the... We didn't track anything down. Bob came over, and, you know, it was back in the video cameras that were on your shoulder type thing. I remember him videotaping me sitting on a pick bench asked me, what you see. And I'm like yelling him, hey, I know what I saw.

It was, you know, he's like, stop yelling at me and tell me what you, you know. And those, that's, there's a, I'm still in the process of working trying to get some of these videos. There's a lot of video of us doing our research and stuff that is in Pennsylvania right now. with the guy who's taking care of Bob. And if you go online on Facebook, I think it's the Robert Morgan Project. He has that, that you can communicate with Bob,

look at some of the videos and stuff like that. There was a video on there that I watched and took me two times to realize that's me and my wife. I mean, that's how long ago it was, you know, how different we were. But we talked. about it. It wasn't really safe for us to go walking in the woods in the condition of Steve

and I were in right then. But we also didn't want to pursue it to let him know, hey, you let us see you. You came out here and talk to us. We're not going to chase you. Thank you. We're not chasing you up through the woods tonight. Whether that was the right thing or wrong thing to do now, I don't know. What an account, my goodness. So were you able to see any details of the face in that encounter? Yeah, yeah. It was a typical, you know, whatever, long hair, hairy everywhere, not in the face as much.

Had, you know, all the way across, had hair. But it wasn't so thick that you couldn't see skin. Dark eyes, flatter nose. Browridge, Conical Typehead, all the basic things. But like I said, the thing I remember most is when it took a breath. And like I said, and I don't know why it was stupid to have that thought for this split second. Like, he's going to suck so much air out that I'm not going to have any debris. And I remember the biggest thing I thought of was, my, he's big.

Now, I've sat on the floor sheets for the cavaliers, and I've seen these guys, and these guys are monster human beings, you know, just huge. They didn't compare. I mean, they didn't compare. And it was more than just it being tall, close to eight feet tall, it was the mass and the size that it could have walked through and hurt anything that it wanted to. And there were times before that that, you know, Steve and I would lay down, he had one of those trucks. And back in the 90s, you had those aluminum caps that go on the back of your pickup truck. Well, Steve and I would sleep in the back of his truck sometimes. And as soon as we'd start to fall asleep, a stick or something would come flying out of the woods and land on top of that cap.

Well, that's like a gong bell in your ear at that, you know. So we had interaction there. They'd come down, throw something, and then you'd hear something run up in the woods. up the hill. A lot of owl sounds, a lot of, you know, different bird imitations that weren't birds. We used to, I used to hike a couple miles. They would drop me off at the top of the hill and I would hike down through the horse trail back to the, where everybody was sleeping. And you would have them following you. And it was normal for them to do that. We actually had interoperations. We actually had interactions with this group, this particular group of Bigfoot.

My goodness. Based on what you saw and you experienced, would you describe what you saw that day as something more ape-like or human or not even able to put in either camp? You know what? I think I hate using the word eight because I don't think they're apes. I think they're people. You know, every time I go to a talk at somewhere. I say, okay, well, what are they?

I don't know. They are what they are. And that's what I tell them. I said, it sounds like a cop out, but it's not. They're not, okay, what is a human? Homeless, you know, they're not us, but they're not a monkey that's overgrown either. You know, you can, they obviously are better at this than we are

because we haven't, you know, got a hold of any. they are who they are. A mix, maybe, I don't know. I just know that they, they're a special group. I agree. It's still one of the great mysteries of the world. Even if certain evidence is proved wrong, we still have the personal experience,

we have the thousands of witness reports, and we have the oral tradition passed down in multiple First Nations tribes over the years, and you can't discount that. So that's kind of how we'll address certain things that are going on in the news right now recently. Yeah. And that's, I was thinking about that in the shower, and it's like, you know, it's terrible for the, it's not. Either way, it doesn't matter. I, you know, what happened back in 67 did not change what happened to me in 2000.

Exactly. 100%. And there are way too many people to that have seen this. And I'm still not convinced by anything that's going on, and we'll have to wait and see. 100%. Do you mind talking a few minutes about how the Ohio Squatch Project came to be and what the goal of the group is and what you guys have done so far? Sure, sure. I got out of it for a little bit. I have two daughters.

And when I got out of it, I kind of stayed back and, you know, followed on the Internet, that type of stuff. I still went out and did some hiking and stuff like that, not to the extent that I did when I was, you know, a lot younger. I did that because of society. Society, you know, as a whole, looks at us like we're idiots. And I'm okay with that. I very want me to be an idiot. You know, people looking at us and you believe in Bigfoot, you believe, okay. You know, I did that to protect my daughters.

I didn't want them to have the dad in middle school that was, you know, out looking for Bigfoot. So I didn't get in the media. I didn't do it. You know, I was offered a couple of times to do shows and things like that. And I turned them all down because I didn't want to be whether because of my beliefs and because what I think is real, I didn't want to impact my daughters and their thoughts and their friends and everything else. So I just stayed out of it. I started going to the Ohio Bigfoot conference.

and I came up with this idea. I don't know if you even know about the squat stick. I've seen it before. Okay. I've seen it in photos. I came up with that idea when I was working with Morgan. On the top of Hossack's cave one time, we had a wood knock. And he's like, answer, answer, answer.

So I'm trying to pick up, I'm picking up trees. I'm picking up rotten stumps and everything. And I couldn't get a knockback. So I started making those sticks called Squatch Stick. I went to one of the OBCs and sold out. And I was making these out in the garage and my wife came out one day and said, what are you doing? I said, I'm making a stick to knock on trees to alert Bigfoot that you're there.

She said, you're what? I told her again. And she looked at me and says, you know what? you're an idiot and if anybody buys this they're an idiot i'm like well fair enough so i sold out gave her the money and now i'm not such an idiot um but we started making that they used them on animal planet with the finding bigfoot show oh okay those are the same ones that they use on finding bigfoot really that's that is fascinating rene got a hold of me actually because i talked to one of her producers who saw me at a show.

I gave him a stick to give to them. They got a hold of me and wanted to use them. So that's what Cliff and Bobo, and, you know, they told me stories that, you know, Bobo had somebody on staff to keep track of his stick because he would leave it everywhere he went. But Cliff used it on a couple of his shows that he did. And anyway, it became pretty popular. And so we sell those.

And I needed a website to do it. So I thought, Ohio Squatch Project. that keeps me located, local, and found out quickly that running a website is not something you can do once a month. No. And like what you're doing. I just don't. And that's where Jeff started taking over the website and how he's running it, putting more stuff on it, more pictures. And we're trying to get it up and going a little more than we did, but I was running it because I just.

I'm not tech guy either. That's cool. And so, well, I guess this might come up when we get to our next segment, but you guys are also, I know you have this last week. You're going out as a group to certain areas and investigating, et cetera, right? Right. And, you know, the initial, I guess, purpose for having this website was, you know, somebody's going to call me and say, hey, I have a big foot change. up in the backyard come and investigate, and that never actually happened. So that's what, you know, we wanted to hear some sightings, wanted to do this.

And there's so much involved in it. I started looking at BFRO's website, which has hundreds and thousands. And somebody's doing crazy amount of work on that website. But, you know, they post all the sightings. you try to look at those and what you get and go from there. Got a little more time since I've retired and have some guys to come help me now. That, you know, I actually reached out to you at the one time. I said, hey, I'm here.

If you need anything, love to go work out or go look at some of these things. I'm close. And that's what I wanted. I think it's awesome you hear about sightings in West Virginia and Washington, and Indiana and all these other places, let's be honest, I'm not going to travel that far on a whim because somebody saw something across the road.

Yeah. It's just not possible. I have family. I've got people here that I have to take care of. My dogs, you know, just life is going on. So, you know, that was part, but, you know, you and I have managed to catch a big one, I guess, what you say. It's, it's, you know, we'll get to that story in a minute or two,

but it is, I just wanted to lay that foundation where there are so many questions right now where do you have a guy that's, or do you have an individual that's helping you? Like, are you just letting all this slide? And like, what's with the guy that you're working with? Like, this is Glenn. And so you can see his background, who he worked with, who was an incredible, Robert W. Morgan is an individual in the Bigfoot space. Knows this stuff. So Glenn knows this stuff. He's had

a Class A siting. He knows what he's doing. So it is in, I would say it's in great hands. I just and you, again, we've had these conversations with us before that

there are different types of people that want to do research. Those who sit at the computer those who, you know, and we've ran into some of these people during these investigations that are calling themselves researchers that you look at and like, okay, you go do you. And there are people that I would love to work with. But the biggest thing is, I don't think that I'm that guy that is off my rocker type thing. You know, like I said, I was a cop. This is Ashlyn Harris from Wide Open with Ashland Harris.

Use as directed. I was a ranger. I was a firefighter, paramedic. I have a family. My wife's got multiple science degrees. It's hard to, and I was having this conversation last night with somebody in the field of law enforcement. It's hard to get yourself away from that typical persona of Bigfoot researcher into normal person. you know, because you walk up to a cop or somebody like that, hey, I'm looking for Bigfoot.

Great. Could you walk this line for me and tell me that you're sober while you're doing it? It's a very fine line of crazy, not crazy. Yeah, no, 100%. Dance in the edge. So that being said is your skills have definitely come into play. having those prior law enforcement investigative skills in the non-Bigfoot and in the Bigfoot world, it makes for quite the combination, which has really gotten some interesting.

There's been some interesting results because of it. But, you know, Glenn, what I would like, do you mind just kind of sharing with us your experience so far through the beginning of this, I mean, how you even knew, like, I should reach out to this guy right away? Like, how did you know to reach out so early? I don't know. I, honest to God, I don't know. I've seen your podcasts and things like that. I don't do a lot of them as far.

I've given interviews. Don't give me wrong. But I don't listen to a lot of them because at some point, you're just like, great, you know, there's, I don't know. And it was weird because I don't usually reach out like that saying, hey, if you need something, I'm here. And if you do, you don't usually hear back from them. Because a lot of people, and here's the unique thing about this is a lot of people that are doing this type of thing are very protective, you know, of their lawn. it's like you know you're not going to come over and pee on my on i you know this is mine i'm not going to

tell you anything but i want you know so a lot of those conversations don't go very far and it was weird that yours and i did um but when i saw i i can't explain to like i said i don't usually do that and uh but i know the area i've investigated things up there before The one guy who started working with me, his name's Mike, and he told me years and years and years ago, probably 10, 15, 20 years ago, whatever it was, he was in that area at night doing geocaching. And he had something screamed at him. And he had no idea what it was at the point. So he told me that story and it was just like, oh, that's, you know, kind of weird. There's been a lot of sightings in that area.

And he happened to have one or an encounter. And it could have been a bobcat. It could have been something else. I'm not saying it was Bigfoot, but it was just one of those extra bit of story, I guess. Was that around Manaway or just the region? Yeah, around Manow. Close. Okay.

The Ravenna Arsenal that's up there has always, always, always intrigued people. And you and I had that conversation. I was talking to it. And for some reason, I said talking about the Arsenal. And she said, you know what? That's just a weird place. They do things there that we don't know about and they don't want us to know about. And to be honest with you, I don't think I want to know about what they're.

doing there, which just adds to the whole mystique of the Arsenal. Let's throw a huge allegedly in there, too. Yes, allegedly. Sorry. Yeah, allegedly. Sorry about that. Because my goodness, are people going to watch?

A huge, but yeah, I remember that came up in our conversation early. You were like, you're pretty much like be aware of this area that's close by called the Arsenal. Well, I got drawn.

They have a real big deer population in the arsenal itself. And every year, like every weekend, they have a controlled hunt. You know what those are? They want people come in and call the population a deer down. A huge deer. There's a deer called Hole in the Horn that was killed right outside the fence of Ravenna Arsenal. That's a world record type deer. But they have a large population.

They want you to come in. They want you to kill all these deer. Every weekend they have a gun hunt there to try to kill them. Well, when you get there in the morning, you have to get there at like 5 a.m. And you go to this big hallway. It's an empty barracks like building. And they tell you, I've done this a couple of times, and they tell you, you know, you're going to be taken to an area by a chaperone and dropped off.

You're not allowed to leave that area. You're not allowed to take any cameras. You're not allowed to take any photos. You're not allowed to pick up anything. You're not allowed to take anything out. You're not allowed to wonder from where you're supposed to be. And real, real, real strict. I mean, real, it's just one of those, okay, it's a munitions area,

but are they really leaving, you know, bombs outside in the middle of the field that they don't want to to tell you? Because it's federally owned, right? Yeah. Yeah. Somebody told me recently that Trump talked about it. There's last run at president or this one that they've talked about it. And it was actually selected because Northeast Ohio, and I don't know if you know this or not, we're horrible when it comes to sunshine. Okay.

We're second only to like Seattle, Washington when it comes to overcast skies. So no spy satellites or anything you could pick up what we had at Ravenna because it's always cloudy. Oh, that's really interesting. That's a great piece of information right there. Okay, so I think that's great because, and there's other areas where, I mean, I think, I know West Branch State Park has a history of activity over there. And so these are south of the siting reports. Right. And you've got a lot of those south, West Branch, Berlin. I've had sightings at Walbourne Reservoir, Deer Creek Reservoir. And these are all reservoirs that drain into the Ohio River. They're meant to maintain the level of the Ohio River to be able to keep shipping going during the summertime when drought occurs. So a lot of times these lakes are very low or, you know, depending on what the water levels needed down street.

Gotcha. So as we've gone along this last week, pretty much how it would work is if I was at the point where I would be able to get a phone call from a witness and then I would talk to them just to make sure things felt pretty good. And then I would be okay, would you like to talk to a local Bigfoot researcher that I've been talking to so he can check things out and maybe look for tracks, etc. And there are a few of these individuals, not all of them, but definitely maybe a few that you're able to talk to over the last few days. Are there any events you can share from checking out these properties? Yeah. And that was very helpful, you talking to them like pre-screening. I didn't run into the crackpots that sometimes I run into.

And I don't mean that in the negative. Some people just want to like, watch this. I'm going to get a Bigfoot researcher out here to look at my property. And nothing's happened, but let's fool them. Okay, that's fun. Great. Glad you had fun. But, you know, that's not fun for us.

I was in Washington, D.C., six, seventh, and eight, and I remember coming back, and this was, like, really peaking. And you and I talked, and I got the guys together. I think it was a Tuesday night we were heading up north from where we were to investigate the Manoway Trail. The one, I forget the name of the trailhead. Oh, is that the one over in Garethville, the Headwaters? Correct. Headwater's trail. And Mike had actually geocash that trail before. So he knew where we were going.

And we actually got to this intersection on Portage County, and I turned left to head down the road. And you called me and said, hey, where are you at? I said, well, we're almost at the trailhead. You knew we were going there. I said, we're six minutes out. And he said, well, I don't know if you're interested or not. But in the last hour, there was another sighting. And she saw it in the front yard within the last, well, it was like 7 o'clock then.

At 6 o'clock is when she saw it or somewhere in that time frame. And I'm like, where's that? Jeff, who was sitting in the front seat with me, was typing in your phone as you were talking. And he's like, you're eight minutes away. I'm like, we'll be there in eight minutes. And we hadn't even called the lady yet. We were right down the road. So we ended up going there and we pulled into this road and we get out and she comes out and start talking.

And we're trying to slow her down a little bit and get information. The younger individual or the older one? The younger ones. Okay. And because she and the lady who had the sighting was actually still in the house looking at the window at us like, I don't want to go out there. She wanted nothing to do with us. So I asked her, I said, you know, that's, she, we've come to find out, that's her mom. I said, can you ask her mom to come out here and talk to me?

And she said, yeah, hold on. She went back and got her mom. Mom came out and pointed out where everything was. It was about 100 yard, 80 to 100 yards probably from her house. But they had the big, big front window looking out. She's sitting watching TV. And, you know, as we were talking, it was like, how many times this lady looked out this window, you know, in her lifetime, millions, looked out, saw something walk from the edge of the woods. There was a clear area, and that's where it didn't come out of the woods.

It walked along the edge of the woods, inside the woods, but they had a tornado a couple years ago, and all the trees in that little area had been cleared out. They cut away, and the guy who owns the property cleaned it up real well. So it didn't walk out of the woods. It stayed in the woods, but it walked through the opening. And stayed back and then went back down into the swampy area where the brush was. So that part was pretty believable. It didn't come out and dance a jig or anything until, hey, I'm here. But she was definitely, and she made the comment to me, which was really funny,

because of what you had that comment made to you that you talked about on another podcast. I don't know what I saw, but I saw it. It's there. And she doesn't believe. Right. She's a non-believer. Her daughter's a believer.

Her daughter's into it. Her daughter has all the books, which, you know, people, I've been questioned by other people from other groups. Well, how do you know this is? legit or why is all of a sudden he getting all the information like guys you start talking about steak dinners at your house and state dinners start popping up on your cell phone what happened was the lady she worked in manaway her friends saw the manaway sighting sent her to link to your show

she popped it up on her phone watch what was going on so all what's going to come up on her phone next time. Same thing. So you were the first thing that popped up on her phone after she had seen the man away sighting. So it was very easy to understand why she called you and why you're the person getting called because you were, you know. And I want to actually, that is a really good thing to bring up. So we'll pause for a second because a lot of people have been like, why is Bigfoot Society getting the only person getting these and not this outlet or this outlet? Guys, it's because I use social media that is newer and the algorithm on TikTok is so incredibly strong. And what happened was those algorithms went insane and then different news outlets started picking it up.

And then major news outlets and international news outlets and it was a domino effect. So that's the easiest way to explain how it was that that happened. And that's why it happened. And I think that that's why a lot of people that have the bigger websites were questioning things like, well, why is he getting all this stuff and we're not? Because he's the one to start it. And his site is coming up first. This is Ashland Harris from Wide Open with Ashland Harris. And now a vital break from our sponsor's Vital Proteins.

Exactly. That's the way it is. Also, I did not, I just want to say, I didn't ask for this and I'd rather just hang out in my studio room and talk to witnesses all day instead of having to do interviews. But let's get back to you good with your phone call? Yeah, we'll talk about this later. It's actually from the conversation we had last night, it's a response to that. Oh, geez, that's funny.

That's funny. Okay. So let's continue that. we have paused during the Wyndham sighting. Sorry. This is probably what's been happening to Glenn. I would think during this week is he's just getting some interesting calls. So I can only imagine.

But so back to Wyndham. So you're you're talking to the daughter and the mother. And you were kind of explaining how the daughter is definitely into Bigfoot. But the mother is. definitely a skeptic. And the way she said that to me was, I'm trying to remember the exact way, she said,

I know what I saw, but I'm not sure what I saw, which is kind of a, it's a very interesting. These people I've really been going through a lot, but continue with your, well, she wouldn't come out and say it was Bigfoot.

Oh, yeah. She says, it was a reddish, you know, light brown, and they have a, one of those type dogs.

that was running around with us. Great dog. It was a tan color. And I said, oh, like this. And she says, now it's a little darker. Which, you know, and we've gotten, what, black, brown, you know, all kinds of colors. Now, a lot of that is the one, there's always been more than one big foot. They never traveled alone.

And Bob always told me that, that they are never alone. Now, when I say alone, I don't mean hand in hand. I mean within 100, 200, 300, yards of each other. Number two, with the light and shadows and different times a day that we have right now,

that sunshine on a dog or on any animal is going to reflect a different color at certain times of the day. So, you know, that never bothers me when they, well, I saw a black one. I saw a red one over here. Okay. It could be two animals or two people, or it could just be the way the sun is coming through the trees and reflects off of that to make that color appear to be that way to a person.

So I never got too much into color when people calling them out on, well, you can't have two at a kind of different. Okay. Yeah, right. Okay. Interesting. Interesting. When you were there, was there anything you noticed that, it's a question I've been getting a lot, I guess I should say, is that, you know, are you guys finding anything, any evidence, anything when this is being investigated that, you know, or, you know, people just really want to know what's going on. Boots on the ground, I guess.

That's what I'm getting over and over. Right. And there wasn't anything that, and we were sent some pictures of supposed prints. I have a real hard time with them. I didn't. And, you know, just because there's deer tracks doesn't mean there's deer there all the time either. But just because there's not deer tracks doesn't mean deer aren't going through there either. So, you know, the ground was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be because it had been raining.

And I thought, man, that'll be really nice getting some, you know, soft ground. and we tried like heck to make some tracks, jump up and down in our boots, and it didn't make any imprint at all. So I wasn't surprised to not find tracks. I was, there are some things that we look for when we go in the woods that Bob taught us about. Structures, different things like that. We look at a map and see, well, how does it get from point A to point B? Look at this.

There's a nice little corridor for it to go through. There's a railroad track there. There's power lines that go through there. There's different stuff that we look at. Could it be? Yeah, absolutely. And again, we pointed out some places where we thought it was going to go. And when we left there that night, within two miles of where it was, we ran right into where we thought it would go that we talked about days before.

which is wild how that's that's a great thing to point out is that you as we've been talking quite a bit over the last few weeks the last week uh you have pretty much been able to say uh it's going here next and then i'll be like hey glan got a call for you guess guess where the sighting was next yeah it's there like it's it's wild how you have had a really good forecast, which we haven't been putting out there because we don't want to, you don't want to influence things, right? Right. And, you know, people are like, well, you got to go investigate everything.

And you and I, I don't want to sound like a prude or anything, but you could chase them all you want to. You're not going to catch them. Sure. Yeah, yeah. You know, if you tell me it's at point A, B, and then C, I've got to be at D or E. I can't go to A, B, or she, because they're gone. They're not there anymore.

You've got to be a step ahead if you can. If a step ahead and guess correctly and hope that they're there, because, like I said, unless, you know, within the hour, heck yeah, I'm going to that call. Because if it's taking a nap or chilling out, I want to be there when I wake up. A day, two days afterward, you're back to being cold. I mean, you're not, you're looking at places that it was instead of places it's going to be. And only because, you know, I wasn't predicting the future. I was predicting where the other sightings have been in the past and saying, hey, I know that they go here, here, here and here.

I know there's legitimate sightings here here here and here. It's moving this way. How were you able to forecast that it would probably follow, the sightings would follow a certain direction. Is there a maybe a, do they usually follow a river in this area? Or what was it that gave you that clue? There are rivers and there are pathways, I guess we call them. I hate using the word migration route because it's not like a migration. It's when they're going from point A to point B.

now you and I talked about what caused all these sightings this quick why are they having them and I told you I think that you need to look at what a sighting needs

to happen to have a sighting and you need a big foot of course which is pretty rare you need people out there that's why salt fork is such a big place for sightings is because it's one of the most populated state parks in the state of Ohio.

You have a huge lake, you have a huge amount of woods, a huge number of visitors, and all these people are put in there, and you have bigfoot that go through that area. Sometimes they hang out in that area. And when you mix the two, the more people you have looking for something, the more likely you're going to find it. what you had was kind of a, I don't know how you put a needle in a haystack situation where you had Bigfoot that they would walk through here this time of year. And usually in Ohio, Northeast Ohio at the beginning of March, it's not really a hospitable place. I mean, it was all of a sudden, you had like three or four days of 70 degree weather.

everybody and their brother was outside walking these trails everybody and their brother were out there getting air and getting some fresh air and stuff because they hadn't but you go outside now we have two or three inches of snow on the ground oh my goodness you have a window of all these people that's warm in ohio we've got to get outside yeah and that's what we do we you know it's not an everyday thing but you had thousands of people in the outdoors hiking trails, getting the fresh air that they haven't gotten in months, and you have bigfoot crossing them, and now all of a sudden you have a perfect storm. That's incredible. So really what you're kind of saying, and just let me know if I heard this right, is that this movement happens every year, but the humans haven't been out to see the movement happen. That's the only thing I can think of, yeah. Now, I've gotten out, because I've gotten a lot of reports, even north of where you're at now.

and they said early early spring I'd love to tell you the name of the place but I can't really back when I was working with Bob we got about this lady says for about a week we have these abandoned railroad tracks behind my house and for about a week every spring we hear howls and and whoops and stuff like that and then it goes away

and then the next spring we hear the same thing. So they're moving through there, and there's been movement all over, you know, that Northeast Ohio. Whether it's that week or that month or just that time that they felt like doing it, I don't think things were expected to be so nice to introduce all this huge population of people being outside. So I think that's one of the most logical explanation theories I've heard so far. That and the mushrooms are starting to come into season. Did you hear? So I didn't tell you this before, but they're, so I'm getting a lot of emails right now because of what happened in Northeast Ohio a few hours ago.

Did you see that meteorite come down? So everyone is like, oh, it's a meteorite. That's why the big foot we're getting out of there. I like your theory a little bit better, but... Well, I'm hoping that. I'm not going out in the woods with meteorites. There's something that just won't do. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, no meteorites, guys. Careful out there. But good stuff. So did you have any other thoughts on the Windham investigation? No, I think that they're telling the truth. Okay. And just because we can't find tracks or we just, you know, I believe talking to people and hearing things from them up close and personal is important to an investigation to know the truth or not. I have investigated, you know, plenty to where I knew that they were lying.

And I hate to say that they were lying, but they weren't being truthful. And it's happened a lot of times. Were you guys able to go back to Headwaters at all after that? No. Okay. No. I know that place has been super active, and I don't even know if it'd be worth investigating right now because there's so, it's so accessible, right? Right.

And once some of the other places started getting, I mean, you know, I talked about there's actually one of the people who sent us the call. and, you know, I don't fault them for it. If they wanted somebody to come out and we weren't those people, then they contacted other people. And, you know, I've had those people call me and say, hey, I've talked to your witness. And I'm like, okay, great, you know, have at it. I don't believe going back there, it's like if you tell everybody,

you know, free hamburgers and McDonald's, right. And you go buy McDonald's, it's going to be busy. this is this is a really actually another good footnote to put in here uh so when you have a situation like this that has so much media presence on it and like people looking at it like this is back it feels like it's back in the 1970s even though i wasn't around and like so people need to realize you have big foot researchers from all over the u.s coming in and like all this investigation going on and we're not going to know the whole story probably for years because some of these

people probably, they won't even talk about maybe what they found. And that's just how it is with some people in the community. And so you have all this investigation going on at the same time. And so I just have a connection with Glenn because I've been, you know, talking to him through this. And the funny thing about that one is I remember getting up for school one day. And my dad showing me, I was like maybe late elementary or early. early middle school showing me the headlines of paper, Bigfoot, and Minerva. This is Ashlyn Harris from Wide Open with Ashlyn Harris.

That's freedom to be. Use as directed. Oh, wow. And I'm like, where's Minerva? This was when we lived in Portage Lakes area.

And I'm like, where's Minerva? And he told me and you're like, you want to go? I'll drive you there. I'm like, no, I'm good. You know, I was a teenager at the time. I was more interested. I'm not going to be able to talk to my girlfriend tonight if I go to Minerva. Exactly.

So, but, and I never told you this, and I meant to, I just, our conversations let other places. I've met with that family. Oh, wow. I've met with them several times. Bob was actually there during that flap. And Bob took me there back in 1991 or 92, and we sat in their living room or kids. area right by the window where they saw it the first time and had coffee with them for two hours.

Oh, my goodness. So I learned a lot about what happened later when I was a ranger. I met a deputy that told me I ended up being partnered with a retired deputy in Stark County that was on the scene of those calls. So it was one of those. I wasn't old enough to be involved. but I really ended up learning a lot from every aspect of it, from Bob, you know, taking me the end of the woods there,

from the interviews, to the police talking to me. You know, my partner and I, we had nothing else to talk about at dinner. So he was telling me, you know, his opinions, part of the deputies saying, oh, no, it was fake. Part of the deputies were like, I ain't going back here at night ever. You know, so it was, sorry to spring this on you. No, no, this is incredible because it just proves even more how you're 1,000% the right person to be involved with this since you were also had that, that common, you know, that connection with the Minerva. I drive by there all the time, not all the time.

That's so cool. Yeah. I actually had to be three years ago, four years ago maybe, I stopped by and talk to him a little bit. and she says, well, there's still some activity goes on, especially around the 4th of July. They like the fireworks. Okay. Okay. Wow.

That's wild, man. Yeah, exactly. Were there any other, so right now the public ones go through Lake Milton on the 10th. Were there any others that you were able to investigate in that grouping? Most of them, I talked to a couple of them on the phone. Again, I don't think they're lying, but again, I think that we're too late. And what happened was not something that, you know, it was just staying there. It was passing through there, and they saw it passing through.

And it wouldn't be a whole lot of good for us to waste time and resources doing that. Makes sense. Makes total sense, man. Yep. And I hate to be that way. I just, you know, and I told you before what I was really looking for. And chasing things around that aren't there anymore, it's just wasting time, effort, resources, and everything else, too. You're wanting something that's more substantial.

It's been in the same area for a long time, and it's like in that. You said like the term habituation, right? Something like that. And that's what it was when I worked with Bob and we saw it. Oh, that makes sense. Okay. We dealt with that family for so long and they got to know us and they got to experience us as well as we got to experience them. We left it stuff.

We traded, not traded, but I guess traded would be, you know, we would leave stuff at a site, come back. and there would be stuff there. We found a baby doll woven out of grape vines. Again, I think that's just in Pittsburgh. I'm still trying to work it out to go see that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

One of the weirdest things that we saw when I was with Bob were turkey feathers. Large turkey feathers. We would walk up a trail, drop something, or do whatever, walk back down the trail, and there would be a turkey feather. stuck upright in the mud right in the middle of the trail that we just walked out. That's wild, man. I've heard that from other witnesses a lot, actually, over the years. That's really interesting.

Were there any other individuals that you were able to check out, like Lake Milton or anything, I thought? Not in Lake Milton. Okay. Gotcha. Gotcha. Lake Milton was extremely populated the other day. That makes sense. And not by just the general public.

There were a lot of groups and investigators that were at Lake Milton. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Oh. Yeah, I saw it on Facebook that a bunch of them were, I was at Lake Milton, I think I found tracks. Well, the pictures or whatever they were posting. No. I didn't think there are tracks, but I wasn't there.

And this is a great example of why then. So this will address another question, which a lot of listeners would be like, well, there are these public reports and then there's been nothing. And so it's not like it's stopped. It's just at this point there's so much attention on it is that. So I'm giving Glenn information and he's able to investigate these areas and not have to worry about cross-contamination from people that are. just like, let me check it out or other researchers. And it makes things much easier on Glenn, I would say. And that's a common thing that, I was talking to Mark DeWorth the other day.

And he showed, I looked at his website or Facebook page and somebody got on there and said, oh, look, the big foot are headed down a salt fork for OBC coming up in May. and Mark even put on there So it's the last place in the world A Bigfoot wants to be is OBC Salt Fork on OBC Weekend With all you guys outside chasing at it Howling at it knocking on trees

And everything else And we kind of laughed about it It's like, could you imagine going to knock on a tree Outside your hotel room And I guarantee you're going to get six answers You know Oh, you're going to get whoops all over the place It's going to be the best whoop fest

ever yeah that's just how it is but a great great event for sure oh it is and yeah laugh about it because he says the last thing i need is advertisement they don't oh he doesn't yeah it's everyone knows about it but you don't want to and it's not that we're keeping secrets and i hate that thought but we are keeping secrets because we're trying to look into something that you know we don't want people to tarnish, not, you know, or cause any issues with what we're looking into. We don't want there be any other variables. It's been a learning experience, definitely for me, because I've never lived through anything like this. And, yeah, it's been a learning experience for sure. But so those are kind of the,

the public things right now. And what's the plan for the future, Glenn, as you go along looking at these things and talking to people. We're going to still go to a couple of places that I think we're, you need to go look at after the fact. We're not, I'm sorry. Awesome. We need to go to some, instead of A, B, and C, we need to get to E and F. Right, exactly.

And I don't want to tarnish E&F until we get there and make sure that they're clear and, you know, nothing that I have to worry about. But also, I'm waiting to hear from me. anything else because that will tell me how far ahead they are. I think that's a great way to put it. It is a little cryptic, but it needs to be. And Glenn Adkins with the Ohio Squatch Project has been awesome to finally get you on so that we could have face-to-face, talk about your background, talk about what's public from your viewpoint, and just thank you so much for spending some time on the show. This will be a special episode.

It's like you call me and say, hey, let's get together this day. It's like, dude, you told me to go here. I guess I'm sorry. What do you want? What do you want? Yeah, good stuff. Good stuff.

So good stuff. Thank you for chat and Glenn.

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 a 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.

vital proteins. But I can't really talk about vital proteins without talking about collagen first. So, did you know that collagen makes up one-third of all the protein in your body? That's a lot of collagen. But our natural collagen production starts to dip at the age of 30, give or take a few years. So adding collagen peptides daily feels like a really simple way to support what your body already does. Now, I know you've seen vital proteins, collagen peptides, iconic blue tub around before. It's literally everywhere. I mean, it is one of the most recognized collagen supplements out there. And there's a real reason it's so popular. It supports healthy hair, skin, nails, bones, and joints. Vital proteins has become a part of my daily routine. I mix it into my

morning coffee or my smoothie. It's really easy. You can't even taste it, and it fits right into my day so I can feel my best. For me, it's about staying strong and showing up fully every single day. It just fits into my life. I'm betting it will fit into yours too. You can add a serving to your morning coffee, your tea, smoothies, or oatmeal into whatever you're already having. And it dissolves easily with the neutral taste and no extra steps. Like I said, it fits right into your life. People use it for different reasons, some for beauty benefits, some for joint support, but for me, it's all about building a daily habit I can actually stick to.
