Bigfoot Society - He Saw It. It Saw Him. Then It Destroyed Everything.

Episode Date: September 21, 2025

What happens when a 19-year-old hunter sets up a tree stand in the quiet woods of Kittery, Maine — only to encounter something that tears it to pieces days later? In this chilling episode, we sit down with Tim, an outdoorsman from New Hampshire, who shares the full story of a 1989 encounter that still haunts him to this day. You’ll hear what it’s like to have something upright, massive, and loud walk up behind you in the twilight woods — and what it feels like to come back later and find your entire setup shredded, with a single reddish-brown hair left behind.And in the second half of the episode, we’re joined by a Georgia resident who lived at ground zero during one of the most controversial moments in Bigfoot history — what most people consider to be the 2008 "Bigfoot in a freezer" hoax. But what he shares isn’t about a hoax — it’s about what happened in Rex, Georgia, when the media storm descended, armed men filled the woods, and the neighborhood knew exactly what was living in the creek. From laughing hunters tangled in vines to government officials shutting everything down — this is the side of the story you’ve never heard before.🗣️ Share Your StoryHad a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?Send it to [e-mail] – your story might be featured on the show!🎥 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube🔴 Subscribe here → Bigfoot Society YouTube💬 Leave a comment & let us know your thoughts!📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → Speakpipe (Use multiple voicemails if needed)👥 Share this episode → Watch & Share🎧 More episodes → Podcast Playlist🌲 Recommended: New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters💥 Support the Show & Get Perks✅ Join the community on Supercast – Become a Member✅ Listen ad-free & early on YouTube – Join Here📱 Let’s ConnectInstagram: @bigfootsocietyTwitter: @bigfoot_societyTikTok: @bigfoot.society🧰 Tools & Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)These help support the show at no extra cost to you:Beam (Better Sleep): Try BeamWildgrain (Better Bread): Join HereSeed (Probiotics): Get SeedMedi-Share (Healthcare): Learn MoreLMNT (Electrolytes) Free Sample Pack with your first purchase! : Get LMNTOrganic and non-GMO groceries delivered for lesshttp://thrv.me/uarEhS🎙️ Podcasting Tools:Repurpose.io: Try ItDescript: Sign UpStreamyard: Start RecordingRiverside.fm: Try Riverside🎧 My Audio Interface: View on Amazon☕ Buy Me a Coffee – Support Here🛍️ Grab Some Merch – Shop on Etsy📬 Mailing Address:Bigfoot Society125 E 1st St. #233Earlham, IA 50072📧 Business Inquiries:[e-mail]

All right, Bigfoot Society. You've got the privilege of talking to Tim today.

Tim is an outdoorsman from New Hampshire who reached out to me after hearing Alex's show about Bear Brook State Park in New Hampshire. So welcome to the show. Tim, how are you doing today? Good. How are you doing? Doing great. It's always, you know, as I said, in Alex's show, it's always great to be able to talk to someone from New England as it is. kind of a rare occurrence.

So very, very happy to have you on the show today. But, you know, want to make sure that we make the best of our time today. Tim, feel free to take us back to where you were and what was happening to you when you had this experience. Yeah, absolutely. So this was back in 1989. And it was actually in Kitterrey, Maine. So my fiance and I at the time, we had rented a house not too far from Route 1, not too far from 95, not too far from 236 for those of you who know the area. So this house that we had rented had a couple of acres of land that we maintained in mowed.

And then beyond that, it was about four acres of land that we did not maintain. We didn't mow. It was basically field. So I'd come home at night, and there was always deer all back. And, you know, I could see the, that their eyes and the headlights. And I was an avid hunter. I hunted in New Hampshire. I was still actually registered vehicles in New Hampshire.

I was not a Maine resident. We had just recently ran into the house. But I decided that I was going to do some scouting. I wanted to hunt both Maine and New Hampshire that year. So it was in October, and I decided to go out scouting. Now, from my backyard, you'd go through the area that we maintained, and then you'd hit the field. Then you hit a little finger line of woods. It was about, I don't know, probably 10 yards, maybe 15.

And beyond that finger line was a power line. So I decided that I was going to walk that power line. And it was kind of damp. wet areas. I had some catnines tail stuff in it. So I walked the edges of it. And I got into an area

where there was hardwood. And I started seeing a lot of deer sign. And there was a lot. So I got on a run. And this run was like, I'll refer it to like a New York style deer run or even a Pennsylvania style deer run. This thing was

massive. I don't think I found one that large. since 89. So I did a little bit more scouting, came across the stone wall. I went up and over the stone wall, continuing on probably about 100 hours in the woods. And I came upon an old cemetery. And that was kind of spooky because there wasn't any roads or anything leading to this. It was just in the woods. And, you know, I respect it. So I stayed away from it. But I didn't feel too easy about hunting around it. So I went back towards the power line. Now, I decided on an area where the deer run had come from the power line and it was massive and I was going to put a lattice span there.

So that was my decision. So I build my own lattice stands. I use sometimes eight foot, sometimes 10 foot, sometimes 12 foot, two by fours, PT. And then I build a platform. and the platform, the two-by-fours that run alongside where the platform goes are always longer than the platform itself because it leans up against the tree and hugs it. So then you can run a strap around it. And it's just a, and that particular stand that I had built for that area was actually a 10-footer. And I didn't use screws. I used nails on everything back then. I was also 19 years old, so I was young.

But it was about three days after I had the stand built that I decided I was going to go out and set the stand up. And it was getting towards a dusk. But it was getting to anybody who hunts kind of like, all right, this is prime time. So I went out and set the stand up and I decided that I was going to hunt it. Well, not hunted, but just stay there and scout just to see if I saw anything comes through. I decided I was going to sit until dusk, so I got up in that 10-foot stand, and I had the stand was kind of, it was facing southeast towards the back of my house, so I was facing that way.

And I wasn't there for very long, probably 20 minutes, maybe a half an hour. and I could hear something coming from the north, and it was coming directly south. So the way I was set up, it was coming off of my left shoulder. And it wasn't quiet. It was, I think it almost sounded like it was deliberately making noise. So I looked over at it,

and I couldn't see it for a couple minutes, and then I saw it. And that's when I had a see. excited that there was no way I was looking at this thing again. And this thing was walking upright. And it scared the daylights out of me. So being 19 years old, I tried to hide from it. I put my back directly up against the tree, tried to bring my shoulders in.

And there was no way I was looking at it again. So I thought, in my mind, if I looked at it again, and it saw me, that was probably going to be the last thing I looked at. I'd be honest with you. So it got louder. It got louder. It came directly in behind me. I don't know how far, I'll guess, 40 yards, maybe, 50. And it was still walking south.

And then it got to the point where it was almost towards the power line. And then it started walking southwest away from me. And I waited and waited and waited and waited, because I could still hear it, still hear it, still hear it. Finally, I couldn't hear it anymore. So I decided, I better get down before it comes back. And I decided that I wasn't going to go directly out to the power line because I didn't know where this thing was.

But I just knew I didn't want to look at it and I didn't want it seeing me. So I got back to the house, never said a word to my fiancé. For days, I thought about it. And I couldn't wrap my head around it. I mean, it was, it was. was not supposed to be out there. So the more I thought about it, the more I was like, this is crazy. I got to figure this out.

You know, there's got to be an explanation for it. So I decided to go back out there. So I got out of work early one day and I went back out there. My tree stand that I had built for that spot was completely destroyed. It was cut. It was shredded. It was in like three foot seconds. It was totally annihilated.

So I'm looking at this thing. And I'm looking around and I'm in our footprints. It was quite a few. I'm looking at it and I'm like, you've got to be kidding me. Everybody thinks Bigfoot are huge. They were probably a 13 boot, maybe 14 boot. maybe 14 boot. I don't know.

But it was the toes in the width of the print. So if you took your two thumbs and put them together, side by side, that was about the size of his big toe width-wise. Or I don't even know if it was a he or she or whatever. I don't even know if there was more than one. But the pinky toe on the print was about the size of your thumb. So it was pretty scary. And I'm thinking, if this thing can do this to my tree stand,

what would it do to me if I got a hold of me? So I decided I was going to leave and never go back there. I left the stand right on the ground and shreds. And I got, oh, and another thing, too, when I was looking at the stand on the ground, there was a hair on it. On one of the splinters, there was a hair. And the hair was probably like six inches long. and it was reddish-brown with white at the very end of it.

And I only found that one hair, but I did see that one hair. So I got out of there, it went back, and I never went into that spot again. And the amount of deer sign in there was, I don't know if, I really can't tell you why there was so much deer sign in there that I saw. but it was it was unbelievable still today I just can't wrap my head around it I've never ever ever had another experience like that anywhere and I've also been in New York Letchua State Park I hunted that for years with a buddy of mine I've been lucky enough to hunt northern New Hampshire for moose and for moose in Maine I screwed that up you get a point though. But yeah, so I've

been in the woods a lot since that, since 1989, and I've never come across anything that even similar to that experience that I had in Kittery. That is wild. So you actually, so you saw as about, I mean,

roughly that's about a maximum of like two tennis courts away, if we're saying 40 to 50 yards, I believe. Yeah. Yeah. He came in behind me, whatever it was came in behind me. And like I said, it almost sounded like it was deliberately being excessively loud to intimidate me, to scare me.

Well, if that was his intention as it worked, it was really, I mean, it just, in 1980, nobody talked about stuff like that. They're starting to talk about it now. That's why I am. I still only told a handful of people until. this until today. But, you know, you look at like the ex-ranger in Massachusetts, I think it's Scottsch, Massachusetts. He's an ex-park ranger, and I saw him on YouTube and heard his story. And I tell you, if anybody, if you guys that are listening, haven't heard or, you know, caught up on

the Sposite's story with that ex-ranger, it's really interesting what he witnessed, what he went through. Yeah. He was on patrol and refused to basically go back in that area. I think it took a long time. And then I think he wouldn't even go back in that area if it was dark. Absolutely. It scared the daylights out of them. But it made that experience, even though I can't wrap my head around it,

even though I'm still in awe about what happened, it's got to make you a believer because, you know, your eyes don't lie. And when this thing was, it wasn't a bear. If people are out there saying that's a bear, there's no way. No way. And, you know, Kittery is a nice little town. I mean, you got Kittery trading post. You got a lot of nice areas out there.

And, you know, for anybody that knows that area, you know, Route 1, 95 and 236, those were all women, a couple miles of where this happened to me. Which is wild to think about. I mean, because you've got all those shops in. Kittery and just to think that a few miles away could be what you experienced that day. So you saw the hair on your tree stand. Did that match up with what the actual creature looked like when you saw it walking? Yeah, it was that in color.

I'd say definitely yes. Thank goodness. Can you remind me of how tall approximately it was? That's another thing, too. I can't say precisely how tall it was, but I know it was six feet anyway. But I don't know if it was seven feet. I don't know if it was seven and a half feet. And I didn't stare at this thing because once it registered in my mind in my brain that this thing was walking on two legs and it was wide.

That was another thing I noticed. It had pretty good shoulders on it. And that's when I would, that's when I decided I'm not looking at this thing again. There's no way. I'm going to let it see me. All I wanted to do is hide at that. point. I know that sounds cowardly, but if you're, if you're not in that situation, you don't know what it feels like. Exactly. Because you feel, you feel like a, you know, a grain of sand. I mean, you just, you feel very small.

Did it have any way particular about the way it was walking from what you saw? I know. No. Not that I recall. It just was walking. Gotcha. Were you able to notice if there was a shape to his head at all? I cannot say that. I can't. I can't. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about that. I just didn't want to look at the thing forever. I just didn't want it to see me. Absolutely. I totally understand. So after this, this experience, how long was it before you mentioned to someone else what you had experienced? that day. I just started talking about it in 23.

2023 was the first time I came out and started talking to people about it. And there was only, you know, like a handful of people that actually know about it. And I was surprising it, you know, the people who believe me, you know, they weren't like, ah, this guy's on, you know, he's a whack job. No, they actually, people are. are out there and there's I mean there's a lot of things we don't know about out there 100%

so they accept it you know and and those who know me I'm not making it up and they know I'm not making it up yeah and I think that's you know it's important to be able to share and

hopefully you have you know the right or people have the right people in their lives in order to share to so you waited about almost 25 years until talking about this. Yes. Wow.

I did. It was actually more than that, yeah. That's incredible. And another thing, too, that I want to bring up with Alex in Bear Brook State Park. Now, the main road that runs through there, you know, for anybody that knows it, it's called Deerfield Road. Well, off of that road, there is a dead-end road. And on that dead end, there are cautioned Sasquatch, beware of Bigfoot signs all through that place.

Because the person who owns a piece of property down there puts them up to warn people that there is a Sasquatch living out there. That's for real? Yeah, that's on a dead end side road. I don't want to give the name of the side road. Right. Because I don't want to cause attention to somebody I don't know. Yeah, absolutely. Have you talked to that guy?

I have not. Okay. No, I have not. That's so interesting. I did not know that about that area. But, I mean, it's weird because after I put that episode out, I've had more people reach out about that area than I have in a long time about one particular episode. I was very surprised how well received that was by people that are like, yeah, there's stuff that goes on about there. Very weird.

Oh, yeah. Yep. So Alex is the only one. I don't believe that, you know, that's had experiences out there. And that's a pretty big piece of woods. I mean, it's huge. If you don't know the area, it's really, it's really big. Absolutely.

Yep. About the kiddery area, have you ever? heard anyone else or talked to anyone else that has also had experiences like yours in that same area? Not in Kitteri. No, I actually Google that to see if there may have been. And I didn't get anything in Kitterri, Maine, but of course, up through the Appalachians and all that area. There's been plenty of cases, but not that south. And that's, you know, also that was one of the reasons why I decided to share this with everybody, because, you know, when you had Alex on at the end of the show, somebody had mentioned, I don't know, I forget who it was.

Did you interview Alex or was it somebody else? No, that was me. Yeah. That was you? Okay. So you mentioned the fact that you don't hear cases, you know, in southern Maine and, you know, northern Massachusetts and especially southern New Hampshire. So that's when I decided, well, I'm going to come out and show. share this with everybody. I mean, it was

99. I mean, you're looking at 50, how many years was that ago? It's been quite a few. 36 years. Wow. It's been a while. 36 years. Yeah. More than that. Tim, I just want to say thank you for

coming forward and for sharing about what you experienced that day back in 89 in the area where there really hasn't been much talked about. So it's, it's, was really important that you were able to get your story out. And thank you for for doing that. Would you ever want to see something like that again? Or, or, or how has this affected you after seeing it? I think if I saw something like that again,

I'd pay more attention. I'd probably try to get pictures of it. And, you know, back that we didn't have the technology that we have now. We didn't have cameras. Everybody's got cameras on the phones now. I would have taken some snapshots. But, you know, just. Back then it didn't dawn on me. The only thing was just to stay the heck away from the thing. But now I would go about it differently, absolutely. That makes sense. I probably get more people, more people in there, more people involved.

I make some phone calls and try to figure out how we could, you know, I mean, the footprints that they could have gotten cast off. You know, the area was kind of the ground was soft. So the prints really sheds. showed up nicely and I didn't do anything about it and I just got out of there. Well, I mean, it's understandable because you're, you're dealing with with pretty much just getting out of there alive and just focusing on that. So it is, I mean, that's no problem with doing that in that situation. But yeah, when you do go back, you know, maybe for a second time, the focus does

change a bit. But, you know, Tim, I want to make sure that you were able to share everything that you came to the show to share today. Yeah, I believe I have. I believe I have. I thank you for the time. Absolutely. And again, thank you so much. It's even rare to hear about things from Maine. So I appreciate you coming on. But if anything else ever does happen to you, feel free to reach out. And I appreciate you coming on the show today. All right, absolutely. Thank you.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today, sponsored by GSK. The following account is from a gentleman who came up during a TikTok live. It has to do with a part of Bigfoot history that is pretty polarizing. Take this account as you will. It's interesting

to hear it from the side of a resident who lived in the area. And take it as a lesson of what could potentially happen if there is a Bigfoot that is found in your area and the ensuing circus of media and people coming down to that area that can occur. So enjoy. Hey, brother. How are you doing? Hey, how are you, sir? Good to hear from you again. I saw you. You got Bigfoot hunting the weekend or something. Oh, yeah?

Listen, man, I had to do some research, man. I think back this pertained to the 2008 Bigfoot hoax. It was a Rick and Matt. Okay. Okay, now that happened right here in my neighborhood where it was going to show the Bigfoot they found. It's in Rex, Georgia. And I absolutely believe both of them stories about they had the Bigfoot and somebody came and took it.

I'm going to tell you how I knew. I remember him, man, like, I had a kid, and his daughter, don't get me wrong before you get me right, but they went to the same middle school. So I remember my man, like, at the school, I'll be out in the car waiting on my kid, and he walked his daughter back and forth to school. And at this end of this school, at the end of the lot, you remember when I was selling your early,

It's been a few days ago, but we've seen that Bigfoot run down the baseball, the football field. Yep, yep. He used to be with me. So he walked probably about three or four blocks from that school. That actually is where they had the big, the big, they found the Bigfoot. But one day, we were looking at it, man. They had called like the animal control and the people would come out and they were like, well, we think it's a bear.

The only we know, if they get closer to the school, call us, but man, that guy used to see it. So he was coming here, walk the dog school. He was like, you know, they got to do something about that. Me and him, like, as I walked to this school every day, man, and that attacked me and my daughter, no, it's going to be a problem. So don't get me wrong when you get me right. I remember him going out behind the school when they were the gun to try to get it. He was going like every day to try to get it. thing, man. So I remember them calling the police and about him at the school with the gun.

And they told him that he couldn't use the gun or whatever, you know, and the big thing, but he let it go. And, man, one day, you can tell me that, yeah, those things were going on like, and he said, man, you know, I want to be a police, a cop. And I was like, man, a cop, don't want to be a cop no more. You know, we was talking like that. So he came, like, not too long ago, my time, but I think they went to that school about three, four years. He showed up one day in a police car. And I was like, man, you know, you really changed everything good, man. It was a smaller, at that time, a small time.

That was very big, no, but everybody was rooting for him. You know, my mom used to be like, man, you're doing great and stuff like that. So when I heard that they had that Bigfoot host, the first thing that came to my mind was he got that one. in the area we were talking about. But it was, yeah, so when they had that, man, our whole community was just covered with news media, big trucks, man, everybody all over the world was here.

And right there what they did, when they was going to release it. The only thing there was a corner store, man. Right now, probably no big, like a little small Texaco's old store. And the lady used to make, you know, biscuits and stuff like that. And they used to have, you know, kind of go in there and buy anything, you know, feed for, you know, dog food and stuff. So this is going to, this is a trip right here. So I had a body shop, man, for years.

And I used to eat cards at the store. So in the all the people here, everybody in the world is here, bro. From Japan, you name it, man. And they will come to my shop. It was a rumor. But I knew it was true that it was a Sasquatch. up in my neighborhood. I stayed at the beginning of a river.

And the river comes through a military base and it goes across the highway, then it opens up again. So I stayed. I was living in a neighborhood was like a horseshoe with the creek going through the back, through in the middle, and everybody backyards were connected to the creek. And they had a rumor because, well,

I was telling you about the trash piles and the gut in the landfill, you see them a lot up there. And the rumor got out. This is it right in the middle of every everybody in the world is here. I met a lot of people, man. So people are coming to my shop and I'm like, I'm such and such, we want to get access to your life because I had the only lot that was clear all the way to the creek.

You look like a bar graph, some people, some people went halfway or some people's like, you know, half the way. But mine went all the way to the end of the creek. And that was separate both sides of the wood. That clear and everything that came through that had to go. across that area of the yards and you can see you know like deer or whatever it had to go across there to go back off in the woods so man it had got bad man the rumor had got out the lady actually owned the store she was like you know telling them because they had the cameras on her every day she went from making like 20 biscuits a week to like 2,000 in just a couple days

no way so it was real it was reloaded and uh matt lives directly across the street from that store. So the people kept coming, man. And it really got bad, man. It really got bad. It was coming to my mom house and stuff. And we were like, you can't go through our yard and get to the lot. And it really got bad.

So I met, man, I can't know if I want to say this name. But it's a lot of people, man. I met so many people. I mean, it was 20, 30 people a day trying to get to that lot. And I know this guy, they just say, well, man, I can't even know the abbreviation, but the hand of the association, X, Y, Z. I met this guy. And he's like, he was down here to see the Bigfoot and all of this and that.

And he heard rumors of where there was one up to street. And I told him that, yeah, I know one that is in my neighborhood and it's by this house. And if you go through, when you pass the house, you look behind the house, you'll see a shotgun leaning up against a tree. And I remember like I was older then. I was out the woods at that time. So I was coming through the neighborhood. And it was like a church on the back street from my mom house. And I saw a bunch of kids out there.

And I saw a truck out there. I was like pulled up and like, what are y'all doing out there with that guy? And one guy, one of the kids said, he told us, he'll give us a hundred bucks that we're showing where the big foot was at. And another one, the guy is like a little badder than they rest of them. He's like, I told him a thousand dollars. So I pulled over that lot and I'm like a thousand dollars. I pulled over to the lot and it was that guy. He was remember talking to me at the store.

I was like, yeah, I remember talking to you. He was like, I rode by last night right before I got dark and I saw it. He was like, I got another meeting somewhere up the road or up north or something like that up the road. And he was like, I only got a few hours to get it. So while we was talking, he was showing us about this gun. Like he killed everything everywhere and he had a gun that was made. He showed me a bullet. the kids were out there as well.

They were like, this will get them. And the bullet was, I remember the bullet was along from your index finger to where your wrist start. I forgot what it was, but it was a big long buddy. So that, these people, I would tell, like everybody over the world, they remember that 2008 blitz-foot thing. They had to come

across me because everybody had to, it was a scramble. And I remember him telling the gun, so right when they got dust, he always come out of at the corner of the woods at that man house. This was the guy that left the gun. It was like it was so big.

I got tired of replacing boys on his patio. And the thing was all through the end, crack his boys and stuff. I remember him, he told him one time he said, shit, it'd be about, it's got to be about 16,

100 pounds. So the guy, sure enough he got dogged and the kids had to get ready to go anyway. He was like, I was like, okay, just come on around the corner. So go around the corner,

he's seen it. You should have seen his eyes, man. Somebody somewhere, big shot, Remember this story, he probably told it to a lot of people. And today, they get back to him, everybody can, he ain't, he's not lying. So when he saw it, one thing that I know about it, when you see one, if it's kind of close out and open, if he's got his back turn to you, he already being ready to disappear on you.

If you turn sideways, you can look in the direction that he's facing. He's going to be facing another one with his back turn. That's going to be the train. That's going to be the line. There's going to be one behind them. They all look like goose. One of those got a head up when the other one's got it down. They're going to be looking at the line.

Face to face, you startled him. You ran up on him. So he got down, that man jumped down on his knees, man. I'm talking about he was digging up dirt. It's a little creek that go beside him. He had much room without seeing him. And I saw it when he turned this back on him. I was getting ready to get done.

So he got up on him, man. And I was a few yards back. And I heard him. He was like, hey. man, I got a shot on the kind of by the tree. And I was like, you can't shoot up there, man, because that's where everybody lived. That's my mom living there. I said, you can't shoot in that direction.

You got to shoot this way. And the way that he's going to shoot, it's going to actually go through the woods. If the tree don't stop it, go across the highway and go up into the military, to the military base. But he got up on the man. He was steady falling. The darken was steady falling on him. He was like, man, I got a shot, man. I got a shot, man.

Right by the tree. I always know that we get by a tree it's gonna probably disappear or something. Whatever it do behind a tree, I knew if he got, if he didn't shoot before I got that tree, it was going to be no chance. So, man, it got dark on him, man.

It came out the woods, man. He was like, hey, man, that's most, you know, it was the biggest thing that ever happened to him. He was like, man, I'm going to remember you. I don't know if I had internet or whatever, but he gave him his name and he was a big shot, big shot. And he said, he had to go up,

Noah from Virginia or something like that, man. And he shook our hands. hands and everything, man. He went on about his business, man. It's been so long since I had to actually think about this, man. It kind of like they zaped me, but at Whitton, I mean, I know that guy, I actually remember being at that school, man. One day we was just talking, you know, I'll go pick up my son.

He was going to pick up his daughter. And he was like, man, you know, I'm going to do something. And, man, he was like, he came back, man. He had got cleaned up and got his hair cut and stuff. Man, he actually looked like somebody. I would be from a Hollywood star. I was like, man, you look great, man, you look great, man. He's like a Hollywood star or something, man.

So he was a good guy, and everybody involved in there, after you read the, you know, you read the stuff, man, they watered it down a lot because it was so much news press, man. I mean, it was hundreds of people in this neighborhood and everybody's trying to get up in this cul-de-sac to get this big foot and reg. I've seen him and Martin, you know, and Matt, they was always cool, like going to my I heard about that, man. I knew for a fact that they got that. They know about them.

They're seeing it. In my community, there's no big thing over here. Everybody that's old and stuff like that. When we all know about it, we grew up with it, man. We didn't even grow up with the stores. We grew up actually seeing it. And I'm going to put about what about what I want to say, man? Oh, this is the crazy part.

Now, we got all the best hunters in the world here. everybody everybody that's a big foot there's everybody that killed big game everybody in the world is here and the lady that owned the store she was actually giving the information because we kind of know where every one of them going to every one of them's at and once she told them that was one of the road she was actually trying to get them off the one that's right there across the street from her so when she sent them up the road that's where i'm mad and i was not letting a lot of people in so uh man they had a whole, like, it was when something went big, went down, they had one street block, bunch of big four-by-four trucks and stuff, man, guys all on, man.

The sheriff had already told me they can't have guns, so they got crossbows and bowing arrows, and they got another street. They got them blocked off and stuff, man, and the street. I'm on the facing street, and you got to come through my yard to get to the end of the lot. If you come from the other people houses, you got to come through their front yard to get to the back. So it's almost impossible. And once you get to one side of the creek adjacent, the mine is a bunch of bobwine stuff grew up.

So you can't just come from the other side and come up in there because you can't get through it so thick. That's what I call the gunman. The rifle man don't tell you about it. He was on that side, but he had to go around and come around and I showed him how to get in. But those guys didn't know it. So, man, this was one of the funniest things.

So this day, they had everybody had this thing. Man, they knew about it's going to be at the guy's house. with a shotgun at the tree. They knew it was going to be there, and they knew it was going to be there at dusk. So everybody had this thing surrounding. Somebody seen it, and he kicked the whole thing off. So I remember one of my friends, I went to school where we played Little League football

and everything, man. And he rolled up. He was the one organizing it, man. His name was Kenny. He had the whole crew. He knew about that because we, like I said, about the basketball goal. They just come over there in the community. We used to play at the same at the basketball goal and see them down at the end of the field.

So when Kenny pulled up, I mean, he had a truck load, man. They were like, hey, man, we'll get you. First was like, get $200 to go through the yard. I'm like, no, man, I can't do that. They were like, we'll give you $500. Man, they were going in their pocket. They had it. They had it, man.

And they ended up getting close to $2,000, man. And I was like, I can't do it, man. Because my mom, you know, my mom, when she came to the door, and he saw my mom. Man, they burnt out. He told everybody, pull off, pull off, pull off. My mom, my old boy, she would have came out there with a stick or something, man. They came about bringing all the people to the house.

So he went up the street, man, with that truck, and they went to my neighbor's house. They didn't like go all the way to the back. It might go like one, three-fourths and listen to this, man. This is true story. These people now, man, they can identify me, man. Especially at that same what happened to matter. And man, he is a good guy, man. He's a good guy, brother.

So, man, I know if he hears this story, he going to want to reach out to me, just talk to me, man. And he got a lot of people down here, man, like my mom and a lot of people in the community, man, that were really rooting for him, man. And he just kind of disappeared. He got a lot of people around here, man. I just actually want to know what happened to him. But back to that story, when the guys passed my house, they went to my neighbor house.

So, I mean, we ended up late at the store is already. trip and laughing like we got the best big foot of a hundred in the world and got the big foot sitting right there and it was actually about three four blocks at the school at the end of football field and everybody is man cameras man they got the cameras 20 30 feet up in the aisle man this stuff is everywhere so when these when these guys pull up next and you know past my house they take off running down my neighbor house she got a lot of tree stumps trees been cut down and and at the end of the life's probably about the fence i don't even think the fence is six foot man might be five foot But these guys jumped out the truck and took all running through that, man.

It's like a western. You know, they'd be running down the mountain and falling and kept, you know, jump back up and keep going. They took off down her yard, man. So they was jumping, tree stumps and everything, man. I mean, they were running. And one of the guys, he had this little, you know, you keep your arrows on your back in the backpack.

So while he's running, his arrows are just falling out. My mom was at the door, man. We were just dying laughing. And I mean, they were getting it down that hill, man. The house, all the situations are talking to my house, like, up on the hill, you got to run down to the creek. And, man, his stuff were falling out, man. And when they got to down that to that fence, that five foot foot foot, I mean, they were getting it, man. We were like, this is the best big funnels for hunting in the world.

They got the whole neighborhood surrounding it. Man, you should have seen them try to get over that five foot fence down there, man. They got a lot of cuts and stuff on it. Man, all they took them forever, man. I mean, they were all tangled up. One was trying to help the other one, man. I mean, it was bad. They couldn't even get over the fence.

So we were like just dying laughing, watching these guys. And the guy that arrows were following, he was the last one. So he helped everybody. And they took off through the woods. They didn't have too much far to go to where it was that after they went out. And after he got over the fence by itself, everybody and nobody helped him. They took off. He got to throw his bow.

I forgot, it was a bow, a crossbow or something. But he threw it over the fence. And when he got ready, when he picked it up, all his arrows were behind him. So he had to struggle to get back over the fence that all of them had, it took him to get over the fence. He had to struggle to get over the fence, run back up the hill, pick up his arrows, run back down the hill, and, you know, try to make it back over the fence to catch his partners. So we were like, all the best big foot hunters in the world can't even get over six foot fence.

I mean, that was the funniest thing. But, of course, it got dark on them and they didn't get it. So after that, man, I think right after that, man, it was like, it's a hoax. And the sheriff, man, I think it was a sheriff of the chief of police. Like, hey, nobody over here with no crossbows, guns, nobody hunting. You know, they kind of broke it up. It would have went on forever until they just said it was a host. And I just checked that out, man, just a few days ago after, you know, first time talking to you.

And I was like, let me see what happened in that, man. And, oh, man, I saw Rick. He said something about it. The men in black came in and took the big foot and left him standing there. And I believe every single bit of it, every single bit of it. If them guys said this right here, man, they know who I am. I can back on them. But, hey, I ain't got no reputation there.

So I can't really lose no reputation about this. But that story is absolutely true. I don't know about the men in black, but Matt used to have trouble with that going back and forth to the school with his daughter, and he actually act on it to get it. So that's something, man, that if you, I don't know how important this is, but that's a true story. So if anybody knew anything about the 2008, Bigfoot, down here in Atlanta, it's in Rex, Georgia, man. Anybody, anybody around, I ran to a lot of people, man. And probably a lot of people, they got this story and don't told somebody nobody never really. Don't believe it, but I'm here to vouch for you.

If anybody, you hear something, something, say anything about being in Rex 2008 and they're chasing big foot around. It's true. And the funner thing about it was, man, we had everybody in the world. I met a lot of people, man. It's just a little, I make a right man to drive two minutes. I'm at the store. And that's all it is. That's all that's there.

I met a lot of people, man, in there. That stuff is true, and they are seeing how they whitewashed it so bad that when you try to look up anything, you don't see anything about that, man. I took a lot of pictures, man, a lot of pictures with different reporters. I had a few interviews with them. They were just talking to me because it would nothing to do at that store, man. I can't find none of that, brother. Everything is gone. But anybody was around there at 2008 there.

When they was going to release it, man, I met a lot of people, man. And I believe those guys, I actually found one, and I believe what they said was true. Wow, that's some wild stuff.
