You're listening to Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first-hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible from back. backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways.

The stories come from everywhere and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it. So settle in because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us. So you've got some really interesting comments you're putting down there about southeast Iowa. I'm very interested. Yes, where I live in my county, it's close to the Missouri borderline and Iowa. And I moved to this county back in 1988.

And I was going to the high school here. And we have a state park that's right across the river from my town. and I met this kid in my classroom and he was like, hey, you want to hang out with me. We'll go into the state park. And I want to, you know, he's like, I got a place that I like to hang out there, right? And I'm like, okay. So he let me borrow his brother's bike and we go across the bridge because where I live, is the Des Moines River.

And you can actually look this up. Anyways, we go across the river, or the river across the bridge, and we go right into the state park. It's like right across the bridge, right into the state park. And we go in there pretty ways. Like I said, it's pretty deep in there.

And it's, like I said, it's state park full of woods and everything. And so we get off our bikes, and we go down into the water. woods down and over this ravine. We're walking around and down there's this like water stream. There's like this water stream. And so we're walking down along this water stream. And I'm like, hey man, so how much further is this spot you want to show me? Oh, it's up here away. We're getting close. I'm like, okay. Well, we keep going along and now we're like really getting deep

into these woods. And I know we're pretty good far away from our bikes. I mean, we left them up on the up by the road. And we went down in this ravine and now we're like back in the woods pretty far. Anyways, I see that the stream, you know, is kind of. kind of clutter with, you know, old leaves from last year's winter, or last year's fall. And this is like around September now because I moved into this town around September, which school started. So anyways, so it's around. September, around the first part of September. So I'm cleaning out the junk out of this stream,

trying to, you know, let the water go faster. So I'm bent down and I'm cleaning the water, the leaves and junk out of the, out of the stream. And he goes on around, he goes on past me and keeps on walking. All of a sudden, he comes barreling past me. running as fast as he can go. I mean, he's he's booking it. And he's running so fast that he runs in the stream and he splashes me with water. I'm like, hey man, what are you doing? I said, you just got me wet. Why are you running like that? And he turns back his head and he stops for a second and he's like run man there's a bear up that way you need to run like right now run i'm like i stand up and i look at him i'm like dude there's no bears in iowa he's like i just saw one

you need to run i'm like oh okay curiosity you know curiosity killed the cat So I go where he just came from. And I'm looking around. Now I'm going really slow because if there is, I don't want to, you know, allure it to my position. So I'm going really slow. And I go up and I go around kind of like a half.

Like I said, I'm down in this ravine and I go around this like half. curve. And all of a sudden I hear this twig snap above my head. Or about, it's about probably oh, I don't know. Probably 10 foot in front of me

up on the hill. And I look up there. And all of a sudden standing there looking down at me is this big tall hairy thing looking at me and I got about probably five seconds to register in my mind what I was seeing

before I decided to turn around and book myself and I'm looking at this thing and it is very very tall I noticed that it was probably good oh I don't know eight foot tall or so had long arms that went cleared down, its hands went like clear down by its knees. And it was just hairy, brown hair all over it. And before I turned around to run, because everything in my being was the fight or flight mode is I said really, I said really loud to this thing, you're not a bear. and I turned around and I ran as fast as I could down

the stream where my friend just came from and I caught up to him I was running so fast and I told him run man that is not a bear and he's like what I said don't stop run

it's behind me I said just keep running so we run and I'm like, where's the bikes? And he's like, I think it's up this way. So we like hauled up up this hill. And it was pretty steep hill. And I said, well, just move, man.

We need to get out of here. So we got on the bikes. And we went so fast out of that park. We went across the bridge and straight to his house. We didn't even, we were so scared. We threw the bikes down and ran into his house. And we got up into his room and he's like, he's like, what did you see? I said, well, I don't know. What did you see?

He said, it looked like a bear to me. I said, man, I went back, see what you saw because there's not supposed to be bear in Iowa. So I said, well, he's like, well, what did you see then? I said, man, this thing that I saw was standing on two legs, and it was very tall and very hairy, and it had human-looking hands, and it was very tall and hairy. I said, man, from what I observed in that five seconds that I was looking at this thing, that was a Sasquatch. He's like, what? I said, a Sasquatch. know a big foot have you never heard of a big foot and he's like oh yeah I said yeah

that's what that was he's like nobody's going to believe us if you you said something about that he's like I'm not gonna ever tell anybody that they'll think we're crazy oh nice probably a good that's probably good 10 foot away from you did it look more human or more something else Let's just say it was standing on two legs and it was really tall with long arms. And it was very, very hairy with hair, brown hair all over, even on its arms. The hair was hanging off of its arms. And his arms was down at its side looking at me.

Did you remember anything specific about its face? it had hair in its face it was so hairy it the hair was like matted over its face but i can i could tell that it was focused on me because it was looking down at me so it could actually i guess it could see me through its hairs because it's looking at me sure um can i guess the county this is um i i almost 100% know which one it is it's uh van buren county Yeah, exactly. Oh, well, I wanted to guess, but can I guess the state park? It's Lacey Kiyosakwa, right? Well, yeah. How'd you know that?

Because I have spent hours talking to people about this county and about that state park and about Shemak State Forest. That area is nuts down there, my friend. It's crazy. That state park is also known for a lot of dog man activity. and there are so many people in that county that have had experiences over the years and that have had them around their house and that we're feeding them. And it's just, I don't know what is up with that county, but you've got Bigfoot activity like absolutely crazy down there. Well, you ain't whistling Dixie, my friend.

It's real. I'm not kidding. I was 10 foot away from it. If it wanted me, it could have had me. And this was the late 80s, you said? Yeah, like 88. Yeah. Yeah, 88, 89.

In the comments, you were saying that people are having their trailers or RVs rocked back and forth. Can you elaborate on that? Yeah, there's been multiple, since 89, 88, 89, when I moved here, there was many, reports from campers, people that like I said, I made friends with the locals and some

of the locals that would camp in there would say that at nighttime their campers would literally rock, be rocking by something that was big enough to rock it. And one report said that

something literally clawed the side of their camper and the next morning there was claw marks Wow Oh my goodness This is intense dude

There's also been reports from campers Who didn't even stay the whole night As soon as something was happening And they leave. They left. They even told the DNR. We're leaving.

We're out of here. Oh, wow. That's wild. Do you, have you also heard about, so you know, like, Dent's Sport? Yes, I've heard. There's a woman. I actually heard about this woman who claims that there's a family of them that lives in her back. 40 that she watches the little ones play.

Yeah. I've interviewed her two or three different times. Her story is crazy. I was going to say crazy. It's not crazy, though. It's amazing. She doesn't live there anymore. So she is not there.

But yeah, her story is incredible. I was also going to ask if you've heard anything going on in the Benton? support campground across the river. Yes. You have? I heard about that one too. Yeah, like I said, I've been here 46 years. And so, yeah, there's lots of locals that report.

Okay. This. I've heard that area that campground is very active, but I've never heard any actual reports. Can you remember anything that has actually happened? in that campground? Well, like I said, many reports of people leaving in the middle of the night as soon as something would happen.

There's actually been people that are crazy enough to actually have a literal tent. And because there's a section in the park where you can actually put up a tent and multiple people have had something like pressed down on the tent. and they'd come flying out of there and actually leave their stuff behind

to get out of there. And this is Lacey Kiyosak, are you talking about now? Yes, Lacey Park. Okay. Is that so is that just the campground?

I'm looking at the map right now. Or is there like primitive camping in that area? Yeah, there's a spot in about the middle of the park. where you can park your RVs, and then there's a section where you can actually pitch a tent. But I wouldn't advise you to pitch a tent anywhere. Yeah.

You know, that's too deep. Yeah, it's too dangerous. I've never heard of that stuff happening in Iowa. That's wild. Plan B made over-the-counter emergency contraception legal more than 20 years ago. It's a safe, effective backup birth control option that helps prevent pregnancy,

Skinny Pop, popular for a reason. But yeah, these things are warm. right up into the way heck I was camping out there back in 2015 I went out there camping with my mom and stuff and we were we were in a RV and this one particular night I was outside sitting on the the picnic bench and I was smoking cigarette and I was looking down toward where you can actually pitch tents down that that direction right in front of me and then right to the side of me or right about pretty much cat a corner from the my our parking

spot is a is a restroom area where you can actually take a shower in there if you want to or whatever anyways sure i'm sitting there smoking a cigarette and there's a there's a there's a a night there's a night lamp that comes on at night right so it's night time i'm sitting out there smoking cigarette and i i swear on everything i'm sitting there and all of a sudden out of the shadows toward coming toward me was this big huge one of them again and i mean this one was about the same oh I'd say about the same size as the one I saw back in 88

and he was not afraid to walk straight up there he just would not come exactly really into the light area because you know how the light comes down in this

circle and he was huge I mean broad-shouldered long arms, the whole thing, and he was standing there. And I went from smoking my cigarette to cupping it, like you, you know, when you're hunting, so, you know, nothing can see. I cup my cigarette and I kind of like froze. I didn't not want him to see me. And it started kind of like looking around and right kind of corner from, from us, was a camper got a bunch of guys.

They had their RV right close to the actual restroom area. And they had a bonfire. And of course, they were sitting out there and joke. And this thing looked toward them. Looked over toward that area. And then he went around the restroom building. I watched him move really kind of fast with like two steps. He was behind the restroom area and disappeared.

I don't know where he went, where that thing went. But in two moves, he was behind the restroom building. That's how big their step is, I guess, because in two moves, he was beyond the building. Can you reach out to me at my email just so I have, or I guess I can follow you on this too, but I would love to be able to contact you. I guess I can make sure I'm following you right now. Yep, I'm good. Okay.

Do you know people that are having interactions with Bigfoot in that county current day? Not as I not lately. I haven't really, like I said, I, after those two encounters, I kind of try to stay or avoid going to the park. I kind of like, if I go out. there I try to go out there when it's daylight when it's almost sunset or whatever early morning I try to avoid I figured he stays where he is and I'll stay where I am right absolutely so you've had two different sightings over the years in this one park area yeah in the same park so yeah that's amazing that is

absolutely amazing it has been a privilege to hear what you've experienced over the years. That's an area that I do want to go to one day. It's on the list. It's a few hours to get down there, but someday I hope to make it. I've talked to a few people from Van Buren over the years, and they all have crazy things to say about Bigfoot or Dogman

or Giants back in the 40s. They actually encountered... What's your name? I don't even know what to call. you what's your name jeremiah okay hey jeremiah um hey i actually encountered a dogman once down here in keating in this county too once i'm not surprised and it and it it freaked me out dude because i didn't think there was such a thing you know you know you figure you know uh hollywood you know shows you know the wolf man or whatever you know or where wolves on

on TV, you don't, you know, you don't think that that's real. You know, you think that that's, you know, it's just Hollywood. But I saw one with my own eyes, a dog guy, and it was real. And it, I was like, oh, man, I had to blink. Because I was like, this can't be real. And it looked at me. And it had big ears on top of its head of the full long. wolf mouth full of teeth and yeah this thing was standing on two legs dude and I

was like whoa I backed up luckily it wasn't hungry enough or something I was like good now I was like I put my hands up I'm like no I don't want nothing to do with you buddy I couldn't believe what I was that in the state park too no that was actually um see I went back in 89 I lived on the outskirts of my town kind of like out toward the country what they call like tree line it wasn't like like woods woods but kind of like a tree line it has like like some some wood in it but yeah we had we had dogs in the backyard, you know, and I had it at night I'd go out and tend to them. Well, the dogs were trying to fit this one night. And my mom told me go outside and tend to the dogs. She's like,

have you tended to do the dogs yet? I said, no, not yet, Mom. She's like, well, they're throwing a fit out there. You need to go out there and tend to them, make them shut up. So, okay. So, you know, I didn't think anything of it. So I was like, And I go out my door and we have this wraparound porch that we lived in this house. So it had a wrap around porch and then it had a divider screen door. And then it had the dog food right inside the divider. And then out the door was the backyard for the dogs. And we had this extension shed that was attached to that dividing screen door.

And there was a shed there. And then, of course, the car was parked right there. Right there in front of that shed. And there's this big bush that grew up beside the shed. Anyways, I go out the door and I go to take, go walk around the porch to go into that divider. And all of a sudden, that bush started shaking. And now it's not windy outside I mean there's no wind

But this bush started shaking And I'm like what the heck And then of course the dogs are just throwing a fit And all of a sudden I see this dark shadow thing Come jumping out of the bush And land right beside my mom's car And I'm like What was that? Because when it hit the ground

it actually made it made like a thumping sound. It was so heavy. It made the, like a thud, like, boo. I'm like, what is that?

And all of a sudden, I see movement. And I see gray hairs. Like, sticking kind of up. And then all of a sudden, I see ears come up, and all of a sudden I see

a long snout and the ears are like on top of its head and its mouth I was like oh my gosh that's a wamp off and all of a sudden I was like I guess it must have heard me

gas when I saw it I was like whoa and so I backed up I backed up against the house. I was standing on the porch and I backed up against the house. I'm like, whoa, I don't want nothing to do with whatever you are. And so I started trying to go round the wall of the house back to the front door to get away from it. Luckily, this thing just kept watching me and it kind of had its teeth showing, like, you know,

is like giving me a threat. Like, don't come any close. closer and I was like kept back and away all of a sudden it decided to bolt from behind my mom's car out into the the actual road where I could get a real good look at this thing and I'm telling you this thing was about seven foot top it had no tail but it's like it looked like a like it was hair all over it and I could tell that it was a dog man or what you want to call a werewolf because the back end side of it looked like a human rear end but it was all hairy but it had long hair all over its body

it had hair all over his body and its hands were had long claws and it had hands not paws hands and his face was stretched out like like a wolf look like a werewolf like it seemed on TV. We had the long snout, the big, long ears, hair, hands

were claws, fingernails had their claws, and then it hopped away. What's so weird is it was on all fours, it went on to all fours, and then leaped like a dog, and ran away. I thought I was seeing

a thing. And that's the end of that story. That's it all. Only time I ever saw one. That's why. And what's, uh, I'm just going to say, thank you so much for, for sharing what you know about that county. It is, this has really helped me because I, it's an area I've been looking into. And I really appreciate you sharing what you know. So yeah.

If you all don't believe werewolves are real, they're real. I saw one. I mean, I thought it was Hollywood, you know, that makes that up. But I saw one as I see you. man. Well, it was a pleasure meeting you tonight. Let's keep in touch. It's good to know a person now that knows a lot about

that county. And I just want to say thank you for coming up, man. You're welcome. And yeah, like I said, it's kind of hard to deny what you see. I mean, I even took a moment and I was looking at this thing for quite a long time. So I had time to compute what I was seeing. So it wasn't like I was hallucinating. My mind was literally computing. That isn't normal.

Well, these things are so bold. The big foot are so bold in State Park that there's also been reports of people that go down toward the lake or whatever. they'll have rocks being thrown into the water like they're trying to throw rocks at people Yeah, Lacey Park, yeah Okay

There's been people that have Had rocks, big rocks Like splash into the water And scare people away This is wild Elle says in the chat That she's heard Oh, okay, yeah

She's, I don't know if she's saying She's heard that from the same area Or she's heard that they throw rocks, which I have heard that as well from other places. But, wow, good, good stuff. This is good stuff. Yeah, I am going to, my headphones are almost about dead, but I just want to say thank you for chat,

and hopefully we get to chat again in the future sometime. Okay. Thank you. Have a good one. Thank you. Hi, I wrote my story. A friend of mine and I were coming from Seattle, Washington, one February in the early 90s. And we were at roads, were at Black Ice, and I was being very cautious and driving very slow. And we got to Blue It Pass, and I got this uncomfortable feeling like something around the next corner.

would be something that I didn't really want to see. So I slowed way down, and there was a person that we thought it was a person originally standing, and where he was standing, there were some pilasters where they keep the snow back, and these things were eight, ten feet.

He had like, looked like a fur thing. His hair was long and disheveled and he had long arms. And I think I saw him with a stick. I'm not sure. But anyway, and the bottom, he looked like fur. I thought first it was just a, a lot of things went on. It was just fast, fast, fast. and she had a different feeling about him than I did. She thought he was hurt and we should stop. And I just said no and kept going, actually speeding up, which was dangerous.

And there was like a creek thing on one side, which was probably frozen. But I had the feeling if he wanted to, he could just appear right in our backseat. So it was crazy. I got more details would come to me in with her after we talked. But it was out of our memory for like 10 plus years. And then one time she called and said, was that you that I was with? And I said, no, I don't think so. But then I remembered it all came back.

And it was fascinating. And it took 10 years for us to remember. something was that terrifying to me and she was overly concerned she said that we'd left someone that needed help even if it wasn't a man we should have stopped and I did not stop we startled him

his eyes were slanted and my memory is kind of crazy it was almost like a yellow green eyes I'm not sure about that it was dusk and he was tall long arms long long long long arms and his body was

thin and I could see almost it but looked like a bare chest but it wasn't and he was covered in here especially the bottom part and anyway that's what we saw

so if you're interested beyond this let me know oh my goodness hold on I need I need to talk to this individual immediately. Had our surveillance telesecurity that a Bigfoot was

eating out of the casino dumpster. Hey, sir, how are you doing? I'm good. Was this happening in Oklahoma? Yes. Is this recent? This was actually, let's see, I started to work at the casino about 2008.

I want to say it was about 2010. Yep. Absolutely. And was this is this the Windstar World Casino? No, this is Gold River in Anadarko. Gold River. Really? Yeah, and right below it is actually the oldest federally operated residential boarding school, Native American, right below the casino.

Okay, I'm looking this up real quick. Oh, got it. Okay, so Anadarko, let me see where this is. Oh, wow. I believe this is not the first report of a Bigfoot being seen around a casino dumpster. Let me look real quick. I think there was another one, too. Yep, this also happened at the Lucky Star Casino as well.

Can you share any more info about what happened at your casino? now? So it was probably about two o'clock, two o'clock in the morning. And one of the surveillance workers had called the manager on duty and told them to come to the surveillance room. And so, you know, the manager on duty always gets called to the surveillance room. So we really didn't think much about it. But usually after that happens, the manager on duty will come back and share something with us, you know, that we're watching a patron or, or there's some kind of activity going on somewhere and wants us to be aware. So he didn't come, he didn't come find us, didn't come find security. There was two guards working that night. And a little bit later,

after we close up the casino, that's whenever the manager on duty is getting ready to leave and told us, you know, what had happened. He said that right next to the dumpster was like a real thick area of trees and the surveillance saw and the manager on duty saw this, this Bigfoot step over the fence. And whenever he stepped over the fence, he started digging a around into the side of that dumpster, there's like a sliding door. And he could just see the silhouette of it, but, you know, it was big. And those dumpsters that we had back there, there were the tall, the tall square box kind of dumpsters.

And so that dumpster was big too, but it was taller than that. So it was probably maybe about almost eight feet, I would think. And that's just my estimate. But we went back there, you know, just to kind of look around after the casino was closed. And we noticed some hair that was on that bob wire, not too far from it. Wow. Were you, did you try to take any of that hair or did you just leave it there? No, we just left it there.

It's one of those things where, you know, as we hear about those all the time, those encounters, you know, people seeing them, like around here, around Anadarko. There's actually a place not too far from here, which is called Hog Creek. and you know a lot of our elders they always see you know see that big foot down there and we're thinking it's probably the same one that you know that gets the dogs all worked up down there and you know that'll come and you know just kind of be mischievous around the houses around around Hog Creek. And, you know, it's one of those things where we just, you know, we were never told to really interact with it, I guess you would say.

And so a lot of that comes from, you know, our tribal superstitions, too, to where, you know, it would be considered like a bad omen to, you know, disturb, you know, that creature. Yeah, absolutely. Do you know if there was any footage captured of the Bigfoot at the casino? I'm more than positive there is, but it would be one of those things where, you know, it would be under the Indian Gaming Commission and all the red tape. I've never been in that surveillance room after working there for, you know, five years, and I don't even know what that surveillance room even looks like. So it's really secretive and closely guarded, you know, the workings and where the cameras are and where they're faced, you know, for obvious reasons. No, absolutely. I mean, and that makes total sense being at a casino.

But, you know, it's very similar to the story of the Lucky Star siting, which actually happened in 2002. just so you're aware of that. So you've got that one in 2002. Yours is in 2010. If you ever, you know, do get, I guess, in the future, if you ever get to become friends with a person in that room that might know that, like, yeah, we have that on file, I would love to see it. That's a big if, though.

I'm sure that would probably never happen. But if you do, you're welcome to reach out. My email is bigfoot society at gmail.com. Okay. Wow. It's a fascinating story. Thank you so much for coming up. And would I be able to use this audio on the Bigfoot podcast I have?

Oh, yeah. Feel free to. Okay. Perfect. Well, thank you for coming up, sir. Okay. Thank you. My goodness, that's incredible.

What a way to start the night. I love it. Okay. So I was about 12 me and my cousin where we live on well I live in the mountains I live on I lived on a what was called Sand Hill it was a steep mountain and so you could look over and see the whole town and there was a football game that night so me and my cousin was sitting on the bench facing the football game and you know we couldn't see it up close but we like to hear the cannons and just watch over the

town and stuff and the mountains were directly behind us and we heard the offless wrestling you ever hear in your life we limbs break in leaves you know all of it and we looked back and from behind one of the trees there was a big foot popping around looking at us she took off running to her house I took off running to my house and that was that was the last time I I've seen one and it scared the life out of us both. But it was, now that I'm older and I think about it, it was an exhilarating experience because it's very rare to have that opportunity to see something like that.

No, it really is. What yearabouts was that? That would probably be in about 1991. Okay. Gotcha. And did you say it was near an area. called Sand Hill. Yeah, Sand Hill Road in Cumberland, Kentucky.

Sure. Take a look. Cumberland, Kentucky. You know, that sounds awfully familiar. I believe I've interviewed, I think that's come up in an interview. I can't remember specifics. I'm working on my map right now. There's been a lot of these sidings here, there.

Oh, yeah? Mm-hmm. My family, several of my family members have seen it. My ex-husband seen one. There's a lot of sightings around that area. And are these sightings that are similar to you where they just see a quick glimpse of it, or are they a bit more intense? Or what kind of things are happening? My cousin seen one full body. He said it wasn't 100 feet in front of him. But he didn't share very much of it. He just, he swears that he's seen it. And it was right below where I seen one, and it was years later,

later after I seen the one that I seen when he saw his. and my ex-husband used to live on the same road, and that's where he saw his, but he was back in the mountains. He was literally back in the mountains. See, we live on a mountain, but me and my cousin were where all the houses were, and the mountain was directly behind us, and there was no mistake in it, though. You could just, as plain as day, see that thing.

And then the one my cousin seen was directly off the road as well. But the one my ex-husband seen, and it could be the same one. I don't know how many years they live or whatever, but it's just in that little congested area that we, us three, well, four, because my cousin's seen it too. My cousin that was with me, she's seen it too, but then my other cousin, he's a male, and it was years later, and it was years later when my ex-husband saw, the one he saw, but he was in the mountains, and he didn't.

He said that he's never got out of the mountains so quick in all his life. Thinking back to when you had your quick sighting, do you remember any details about what you saw? It was kind of peeking around from behind a tree, and it had to stand. eight, nine feet tall. And it was a lighter color. It wasn't a very, it was dark, but like a, I would say, like a lot brown color. And it's just, it's the scariest. That forehead, it had that big pronounced forehead.

And it just, you know, when you, the picture, you, got behind you, like that forehead is very similar to, but it was more, I feel like, more big.

Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Wow. That is intense. That's an area I need to look more into. Thank you for coming up. Do you mind if I use this audio of our conversation on my Bigfoot podcast I have? No, not at all.

All right. Well, thanks for coming up, Jess, and thanks for the support. Thank you for having me. I'm going to try to get Lester up here real quick. Dude. Wow. Okay, so to me, those look legit, and I'll tell you why. Right off the bat, it looks like you can see a mid-tarsal break.

Yeah, that was my thought, too. Yeah, where it's pushed up, you know what I mean? Yeah. Dude, and you can see the toes on the top. I don't know, that looks legit to me, dude. Yeah, nice work. The rock was really hard. Like, I stomped down.

I couldn't even make any sort of indentation in it at all. So whatever did that, had to be pretty heavy. When you look at it and I pan up towards the river, one thing I didn't notice is I think there's a second track. Like, if you just look towards the river once I kind of pan up, when I saw it later, I was kind of like, oh, I think there might be another track. I didn't see it while I was there because I was really focused on this one. Yeah, I mean, definitely could be. But, man, that one that you have right there is pretty awesome. Good stuff.

Thank you for sharing, man. I think it was around February this year. Yeah, it looks like it was February 20th of this year at 9.48 in the morning, I would guess. Yeah, I was out there for a work assignment, taking photos. And, yeah, I've had some other weird stuff, too, happen kind of like the best. bend area and then also up by Mount St. Helens, but I haven't actually seen one, but definitely had some stuff that I can't really explain. Just, like, heard stuff or what kind of things? I go backpacking up by Mount St. Helens, and so the first time I went up there, and I'm not

really going to give the spot away because it's kind of my backpacking spot. But the first time my buddy took me up there, we were hiking up. There was still a little bit of snow on the ground, and we were coming around a corner. It was kind of dusk, that kind of, you know, blue hour when you can't really see that well. So I go around a corner. I've got my head lamp on and just kind of up this hill, like a little ridge.

I see these two eyes, and I'm thinking like, you know, elk or deer or something. And it was really weird because they went way up in the, like in the air kind of like pointing at me, didn't make a sound turned away from me and then just disappeared. No sound whatsoever. And the only other thing that I could even

like think that it might be was, maybe it was an owl that was on the ground and like took off, but it was just so smooth and the way that it kind of got up, I just couldn't see any sort of silhouette or anything because it was just too dark. But it was weird and on that same trail, I've gone backpacking myself,

I think I was about 10 miles in and I kept whipping around because I kept hearing like what I couldn't, it was like talking or mumbling, but I couldn't tell what was being said. And I literally like whipped around multiple times like trying to catch somebody behind me. But when I started hiking up that trail, the other weird thing, there was a huge, it looked like a ginormous piece of like human poop, like right in the middle of the trail. it was probably, and I should have taken a picture, I just didn't even think about it. But it, I mean, it was at least a foot long. It was huge. Was it in a pile or was it laid out straight?

No, it was like a log. It was like laid out straight. You were right in the middle of it. Oh, my goodness. Wow. I just thought it was weird that it was right in the middle of the trail. But yeah, so that's kind of that area. And then down near Bend, I photographed this race.

times. It's called the Cascade Lakes Run. It's a 200-mile relay. But they stopped near the Wicayup Reservoir. I was there. This must have been two and a half, three years ago. But I had my girlfriend at the time with me, and so it's like 2 or 3 a.m. and I'm following Google Maps to get to the reservoir, trying to catch up with the runners. And it took me down this weird, weird back road and so my my girlfriend just starts flipping out like like just it was really weird she got really agitated all of a sudden and I was just driving trying to get us to the to the reservoir and um I didn't tell her at the time how I felt but I had this really weird like sudden sense of like major dread like we were in danger like something bad was going to happen and I'm in the woods a lot

I'm on backroads a lot. It doesn't like, it was like a really weird feeling. So the next morning, we make it the reservoir eventually, but she tells me she was panicking because she looked out the window and she saw like a light. And it was weird. I was like, was it a reflector? Was it like, you know, like I was trying to figure out what it was. But she said it was like about the size of a softball and it was just like a glowing ball.

And then it moved up and into the trees. And she's like, I don't know how you didn't see it. And I was like, I didn't see it. And then I asked her where it happened. And the place that she said it happened was the same spot that I said, that was exactly where I felt like we were in danger or something. So it was just a weird, I don't know what it was. And I didn't see it. But she's not one to make something up like that.

Dude, you have been in some great areas and also had some weird stuff happen. That's awesome. Wow, thank you for sharing that, man. If you ever have anything else happen, feel free to reach out. I'd love to hear from you. Do you mind if I use this conversation we had in my podcast I have? Yeah, that's totally fine. Yeah, and if you're ever out, I know you go to the Oak Ridge thing.

I'm living in Eugene now, so if you're ever out this way, let me know if you want to go out from time and just explore. Heck yeah, yeah, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks, man. I'll give you a follow. Cool. Have a good one. Yep. Good stuff. Hey, Papa, Josh. How are you? Good, man. How are you doing? Hey, he doing well. What brings you up, sir? I wanted to share a story with you that me and my wife experienced here where we live at.

About a week or two ago, we got kids here in the house. We live in a small little trailer park where it's really nice out here. Place shuts down like 8 o'clock. But me and my wife were smokers. We go outside and smoke. I built some benches out there for us to sit down and relax. And one night she's talking to me. I hear something going on behind the house.

And you hear small branches. breaking and uh next thing i know i tell my wife you know quiet down i hear something and it's not nothing new down here and nobody really talks about it here at the park that's close to where the woods are and uh all of a sudden you hear uh it was a dog i'm thinking it was a coyote that was back there also but then all of a sudden you hear uh snapping the limbs, big limbs breaking. And it's just moving through the back area really quick. And the next thing we know, we hear this coyote or dog whimper.

And it was, it was really kind of sad, but I think it became dinner. Because you hear just, you hear flesh ripping open. and you hear energy hitting the ground. Yeah, it was crazy. And the weirdest part about it was it started making this noise. It kind of reminded me of those old, I don't know if you remember these old plastic tubes that used to swirl around in the circle and to make that noise, right? Yep. And it was kind of a more of a level sound.

And it's just something we couldn't get over or something we never forgot. But we heard that. And just the last few weeks, we were just discussing, you know, what was that? I don't, you know, we knew something breaking limbs high. And like I said, it rushed through there real quick. And I couldn't believe how fast it was. And like I said, it ended it, you know, making the story. weird noise but a not very long ago a couple of days ago we got a dog part across the creek where we're at

and the creek's probably about 15 foot deep spots 20 foot deep and that's you know ground level going down to where the creek is it floods out every time it rains hard down here but we're out one night and I sees this it was so big walking towards us a dog park over there and there's a the big maple tree out there and it's got a it's got a fork on one of the big branches out there and I see a walk up to it and just completely ripped one of the forks down to the ground and my wife's like you hear that I'm looking at it right now and I couldn't believe it so I was like I said I'm gonna get out there in the morning

and see how really big this branch is. It went out there in America's around. It was about 14 inches around. But it tore it from a, it was the biggest branch up there. And it tore about four foot all the way down. And that happened on a Saturday night. That happened about 11, 11.30. But there's a lot of strange stuff going on around here.

You know, it gets quiet out here. We hear the crickets and all these animals at night and then it just goes straight quiet. So, yeah, it was kind of unreal, you know. And when we had our kid, our youngest kid is what it was, he was in the Yuku Hospital. And I was working late, so I was getting home late. So my wife would go up here to the MewQ Hospital, see the baby. She'd come home, having experienced job. driving back. She was traveling down sooner road and she come to the stop sign. It was dark.

This is before she started putting buildings up over there. And she said all she saw, she was with my younger daughter, or my oldest daughter now. But she was, she came to a stop sign and she said, all she saw was is something stepping the road. And she said all she saw was legs. And the legs were like really hairy, but they were like a reddish color, but not real thick because it was during summertime. And she was afraid, and she's calling me, asking me where do I go? Because she didn't know the area that well.

I remember what's going on. She goes, I just saw it in the road. I'm so scared. She's crying. She's almost hysterical. And I told her how to get back home. jump back on the highway to get straight home. That was her experience with it.

And the first one I told you about me and her was together. But I'm a truck driver. And I always saw signs for Boggy Creek going out to Hobart, Oklahoma. And I decided I was working nights. So I decided to pull over. I'm going to take a picture of this sign because I remember Bockey Creek, you know. And I go out there to take a picture. here it's it's like a one o'clock in the morning just pitch black out there so I go out

there and it's a you know boggy creek there's a bridge so I go taking a picture and I go to snap another picture and I hear a baby crying in distance you know like wait a minute and I heard dad and I instantly got chills the hair on the back of my head standing up I said I think it's time to go. And it got quiet. And I ran back to my truck, getting the semi took off. I just, I couldn't do it, you know.

It was, it was kind of weird, you know, it was kind of scary. But I was just wanting to share my experience with you. That's all. It was really crazy, especially here. Thank you for sharing what you guys are going through. I can hear it in your voice. that it's really affected you.

Would you be able to share the general area you're in? I might be able to get someone that could help you guys. That was out here and we're by a military base. It's Oklahoma City, but it's eastern Oklahoma. We're by a base called Tinker Air Force Base. Oh, dear. You're by dude. Yeah, I know.

Dude. You wouldn't believe this thing. Dude. You know about the weird stuff that goes on at Tinker. I know. I know you've heard. Like, there's weird stuff that goes on around Tinker Air Force Base. Oh, my goodness.

Yeah. I got a retired sister-in-law that worked there. I used to try to discuss it with her. She wouldn't say none. But now she's retired. She goes, well, you know what goes on over there. Yeah. I don't know what it goes on.

That place is crazy. It's wild. From, okay, so active. All that stuff, you know, it's crazy. It doesn't bother me right now. I'm injured off the job, so I'm not doing nothing right now. Okay. Gotcha.

Yeah, there's a, I've been out to where it hangs around. I didn't go back deep into where it's at. There's a fence. that's got an opening and you can go back there and you can see a wide trail. I mean, you know when people walk down a trail and there's usually a skinny trail,

this is a wide trail like two, three foot wide. Plan B made over-the-counter emergency contraception legal more than 20 years ago.

Well, I appreciate you coming up and I'll see what I can do, okay?

All right, brother. Thank you. All right. You have a good one. You're too. Bye. Good stuff. Damien, how's it going? Pretty good. How about you? you doing great uh what brings you up today yeah sorry we got cut off earlier oh yeah very right right yeah but anyway i got a couple of stories but i know this is like a thing where we got to make it quick i guess uh no don't don't feel rushed go right ahead yeah all right well of course i'm down here Georgia. Okay. You know, so from the time I was a little kid, my grandma always talked about

something, she always talked about something called Red Eyes. And it used to scare us kids to death. Like, you know, she had one of those big yard lights. We're out way out in the middle of the country, gravel roads and stuff like that. The thing was always, you know, y'all boys better get back in the house where red eyes get you. When that light comes on in the yard, you best get your butt back in the house. A red eyes was going to get you. Granny was really adamant about that.

So here's going on. We always wondered what red eyes was. I was told a story by my cousins when I was a kid about getting pulled in a wagon, like one of those little, you know, pull along little red wagons. They pulled me down to the creek, down to the end of the road, and apparently they seen red eyes in the creek and run off and left me there. I have a little bit of a memory about that, like them leaving me.

I'd never seen red eyes, but I've seen them run. So, of course, I run off after them. That's just a little backstory. Or should either say red eyes or a booger is going to get you. Okay. It's either red eyes or a booger. Never thought anything of it until I got older. But the whole big foot, I got into the little Bigfoot thing, you know, watching the shows and everything like that.

It was interesting, never paid too much attention to it. We grew up hunting for a whole lives, you know. Every kid in Georgia does. I mean if you were raised right you know you go out hunting squirrels you hunt deer and everything like that was all raised in the woods nothing ever bothered me everything was fine but one day I'm maybe 18 19 years old and I'm driving

in the middle of nowhere I mean if anybody here listen if they know Oglethorpe County Oglethorpe County you can get like way out there it's like nothing but there's a small little town like Crawford and stuff like that but it's out in the middle of nowhere

you can get out there you can ride dirt roads forever so I was driving one day on the other side of Oglethorpe County on the other side of Crawford and not thinking anything of it driving. There's nothing but dirt roads to my left. I'm on one paved road that goes to what's that town?

It's not even a town. It's a little place in the middle of nowhere. Anyway, driving down there and I glance over and I see my brain tells me is a black man, I guess, in a hoodie barefoot, walking down a dirt road away from me. Mind you it's the middle of summer and at this time it's almost a hundred degrees in Georgia and after I thought about it for a little

while it's like that doesn't seem right black man and all black in a hoodie on and I can see the bottom of his feet on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. So that's just a smid of a little story that I got. I'm trying to rush through this because, you know, I'm not trying to waste your time or anything. Okay, fast forward. I'll say I think it might have been 2000 and, let's see,

2022 or 23. Me and my buddy plan a hunting trip. Not a hunting trip. I'll take that. We're just wanting to get out and take the kids out in our girls. It still makes me nervous So it's me and my buddy

His girlfriend And my girlfriend Or his wife to say And my girlfriend And We go To just try to pitch a tent And take the kids out

You know Take them out in nature Have some fun for a night or whatever Go to pitch a tent And this is it a place not far from Oglethorpe County is in the WMA wildlife management area. Okay. It's around Maxie, Georgia.

I mean, you can look it up. Surrounding that area, so we're out there. We're having a good time. We make a fire. We're starting to set up the tent, but we realize the tent that we bought, they just sold us a box pretty much with some stuff in it. It's not the full tent. So we send the girls back.

Of course, they go to Walmart, wherever it was. But we have my son, which was maybe seven, eight. I can have him go on and tell you the situation too. He still remembers it like it's yesterday. but have my son and my daughter and my girlfriend at the time has her daughter and then my buddy has his wife and his two sons so just us and the kids kids are playing and everything so they get back with the tent we're setting a tent up about that time it's getting really dark but we have the fire going the kids are having fun and everything and then like some

I'll give you the back story on my buddy and me. We've been friends since we were maybe 11, 12 years old, and we grew up hunting. We've hunted everything. We've been to bear hunting together. Tear hunting. We know everything in the woods. grew up in the woods. Everybody around it, we, like, there's nothing to do around here. You can't go to the mall. We don't have a mall. our closest mall is in Athens

and there's nothing there like it's almost completely shut down I know all right so we're sitting here in the middle of woods it's a little place called turkey neck and there's nothing around

and it's not hunting season I think turkey season has had just begun but we're not turkey hunting or anything I did have a pump shotgun in the car this will come into play a little bit later but anyway we're sitting up, we're having to find

my buddy he's a big guy, he's way bigger to me, he's huge, big bearded dude been in the woods all his life we're sitting there doing a thing, having fun and we hear some cracking in the woods not thinking nothing of it we know what possums sound right

we know what armadillo sound like armadilla sound really loud coming through the woods they can make some noise deer we know what bears sound like there's not many bear there are bear but there's not many of them

but you know bear you can tell they like pop their jaws they do that whole thing boars we know what they sound like wild pigs all that I got them around the house like right now like we know everything sounds like

we've been in the woods our whole life I cannot stress that enough But something started breaking twigs and rustling. Sounds like somebody's walking through the woods. And by this time it's pitch black. We got a fire going. It is dark. We chalk it off as being just animals, whatever, whatever it may be.

But it keeps getting closer. And it keeps getting louder. and about louder, I mean, like, it's breaking limbs and it's snapping and it's beating, and it's beating. And it's, it's, it sounds like it's getting really aggressive. We know it's not a bear. We thought it was, I guess we thought it was somebody messing with us. like because it's coming like it keeps coming closer and closer

and it's banging stuff and it's breaking limbs like snapping off limbs bear I mean yeah they can break some limbs other animals yeah they sound loud in the woods if you're scared but we know everything out there but this thing was

breaking limbs and it's getting closer and closer and it is dark at this time and we're on this in bank at the edge of this embankment, it's like a cliff next to us. So like it gets really intense. Like it's coming towards like crack, crack, bang, bang, like crack, tear, rip. Like, it's intense.

And in between the time, like the girls have gotten all the kids in the car. But we had two vehicles there, two trucks. So they got the kids in the vehicles. All the kids are crying, the girls are crying. It's this intense. And somewhere in between, I pull out a, you know, a pump. You know what I mean? I pull that out.

Just it's hard to explain. I pulled that out. And we're standing there expecting at any time something to bust of those tree lines. But at the same time in the back of our head, we think that it's somebody's messing with us. Like, they're trying to run us out of here. I mean, like, but it gets so intense. So let me put it this way. It's me and him, and he's a big guy, and I've never seen him so scared.

And he's probably never seen me so scared. And all the kids are in the car crying. My son, I can have him tell you about it. He was the only one to be out of the vehicle at that time because he's just curious. He's not scared of anything. But this thing is coming through the tree line. So I raise up that pump, right? And just to make that sound that it makes, it's universal.

It goes chum, you know? And the whole time my buddy's saying, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, please stop. And I'm yelling, stop, stop, stop, we will, you know, let one off. is it sound like something was in my mind something was about to come off that embankment and land in our temporary homemade campsite something was going to land in the middle of it

I was waiting for something to bust through that tree line so I make that universal sound that chop and it didn't stop coming and I'm ignorant so you know I'm just trying to make the sound I don't realize there's one already in there so it had X one on the ground. That was dumb. So my buddy looks at me. He is pale white, scared to death. We've heard every animal in the woods. We've been bear hunting together, you know, in the middle of

nowhere. Plan B made over-the-counter emergency contraception legal more than 20 years ago.

Skinny Pop, popular for a reason. He snatches it from me and shoulders it and he's still yelling, stop, stop, stop, it never stops. And I'm about to pass out thinking that this thing is coming off this embankment about to land in our campsite. It's really intense. But right when it reaches the edge of the edge of the campsite, the edge of this little clip that's in front of us, it just stops. And there's no more sound. And we're standing there like waiting. Like, what's going to happen now?

We're sitting there waiting, waiting, nothing happens. It goes dead silent everywhere. Everything around us is dead silent. And he packs up his stuff. And the girl that I was with at the time, she packs up all of our stuff. They're like, we're out of fear. I wanted to wait for a few, but they were like, no. I mean, we did wait for a few.

They're all sitting in the car. And this last part, it was just, just me out there. Everybody else is in the car. The cars are running. They're ready to go. I'm sitting here listening because I want to know what this is because we've heard every animal in the woods. I've never heard anything like this. Anything break limbs like that. Anything that breaks limbs like that has to have hands or it has to be a person, but it's got to be a big person. Yep. Somebody determined to get us out of there, which is not hunting season. It was the very beginning of turkey season. There's no turkey.

hunters that's going to be in there. This was like at this time, 11.30, 12 o'clock at night. So anyway, they're in the car, and I'm sitting there listening. Everything's super quiet, but it sounds like at the edge of the woods, I start hearing something again,

but it sounds like something's quietly, just quietly, but like trying to be quiet, but not really, like, just moving away. like it stopped there observed for a while and then was like all right you know and like you could hear the something getting stepped on like it's slowly backing up and moving away and walking off all right so that was the experience but months later my buddy that was with me he sends me an article that was in a magazine You can look at, I wanted to find this to send it to you before I told you the story, but I mean, I have a lot going on during the day, so right now it's the time.

I wanted to send it to you. There's an article in this magazine. I don't know if it's the G-O-N, Georgia Outdoors News. I don't know if it's that. It might not be. But there's an article he sent to me a little while later. And it was a hunter that was sitting in his stand and witnessed two bigfoot, Sasquatch, whatever you want to call, come down a trail in front of him.

He was bow hunting. Come down a trail. Not notice he was there for a minute. And then finally look up at the tree and notice that he was in the tree. And they noticed them. And they turned around and walked the opposite direction the way they come in. And he was like, dude, look at the look at where he was at, the area he was in. And it was the exact same area that we were camping in that night.

No way. So, man. Yeah, it was, that's pretty, it was pretty cool. I don't know, take it how you take it, but I thought it was pretty cool. He was like, you would never believe this. That's wild, man. And that was, you said, I see there's an, it says experimental forest by Maxis. Is that what you're talking about?

Yes. Yes, that's where we're at, the experimental forest. Oh, there is a, I see, there's a WMA. Yeah. Okay. Mm-hmm. That's where we're at. So there's a skull shoals right there.

Yep. You'll see skull shows and there's, yeah, there's a little spot that everybody, calls turkey neck we've been hunting since we were kids around there but yeah that's awesome oh my goodness that is that is an extremely intense account thank you for sharing that uh is that something i can share on my podcast as well oh yeah definitely i'd like to um find that report too and send it to you because that like adds into it absolutely like his report in that magazine or paper or whatever was literally like a quarter mile from where we were at. That's incredible.

Oh, my goodness. Wow, thank you, thank you for coming up. And thank you for sharing that. I appreciate it, Damien. Yeah, there's a lot of parts I left out. I was just trying to make it quick. But we could talk later. I mean, I've got some other things, too.

My current fiancee right now, her uncle is, he's ex-military. and he's a current paramedic so he's got the credentials and everything but he's actually he's actually got pictures and everything with him and matt moneymaker oh nice he is he went on trips with a bfro and he's got some pretty cool stories too and he's told me a bunch that were pretty cool and he swears up and down that here in the same area that he's witnessed one crossing the fence line and collected hair, had the hair sent off. He actually, for Christmas, when you're gifted me,

some of the hair that he collected. That's pretty cool, man. I mean, I take that with a grain of salt, though, because he knows that I'm into the whole thing after that experience. But, yeah, I mean, that's just a little bit of smidge of my story. get into other things later maybe. I was just trying to spit it off real fast. No, I appreciate you sharing the summary of it.
