Then I got kind of nervous because I didn't know whether somebody's up there messing around or it broke down or something down the road. We didn't heard some grunts. low grunts kind of like a hog or something just real low grunts deep

and low I looked at the window this thing this Bigfoot trash quench came right by the window on this episode of Bigfoot Society we talked with John Burton who had an intense encounter at a remote cabin in western North Carolina and some

other intense northern Alabama encounters as well And after that, stick around because we've got anonymous Bigfoot encounters volume two, and you won't want to miss that only on this week's episode of the Bigfoot Society podcast. All right, Bigfoot Society, we've got the privilege of talking to Mr. John Burton from Alabama tonight. John has some interesting Bigfoot encounters he would like to share. How's it going today, John? It's going good.

Very good. So what is it that you have run into over these years? John. I've been going to North Carolina for years up in the mountains. We rented cabins up there, and I had renting this cabin in a real remote section close to Hoartier, North Carolina. That's not too far from Franklin, if you know where that's at. But this cabin was up a dirt road.

It's probably at least four miles from any other homes or cabins, and you just about have a four-wheel drive. But anyway, we had a long night, me and my girlfriend, a long day, I should say. It was about 11.30, and we didn't watch the little TV and just gotten ready to go to bed. And she was in the kitchen, and she said she heard something outside the window of the kitchen of the cabin. outside just right outside the porch we had a pole on the light a night light on pole and you can see the porch pretty good I got that went over to the kitchen looked out of the window and I didn't see anything but I did hear something I heard something rattle so we went back in the bedroom back there and just stood still for a few minutes I said it's probably just a coon or

something's come up on the porch some animal wild animal something and then We heard the porch cracking like something real heavy was on it and something. Then I got kind of nervous because I didn't know whether somebody's up there messing around or it broke down or something down the road. But anyway, we stood there just a few minutes. And I had just laid my phone down by the bed. And I had a 38 pistol there by the bed too. We didn't heard some grunts, low grunts, kind of like a hog or something, just real low grunt.

deep. And low, I look at the window. This thing, this Bigfoot Sasquatch came right by the window. It was taller than the window. But it looked down, raised his shoulders down, and looked in the window, but it was too dark

to get a good look at his face. But I can see the outline of his face. It was flat, monkey-looking, with a tall crown like on his head, and his shoulders where he, you humongous. They were really big. His arms looked really big. It was black

as far as I could tell. But I reached down, I first thought, come to my mind, get your phone, make a picture, and then I got it. I said, no, I need a gun. So I reached down and got my pistol. And about that time he came on across the porch, went around back, and went up this hill.

We locked all the doors, and I put a chair up against the door. We didn't get any sleep that night. I had to I didn't really for three days, but we left the next morning. So it was a pretty good ordeal. It's something to really wake you up, I tell you. That is really intense.

How long ago did that happen, John? This would be three years ago. And for viewers or listeners that might not be familiar with North Carolina, it looks like this part that John is referring to is over in the western part of the state, over near where eastern Tennessee and a lot of people are aware that there's a lot of stuff that goes on in eastern Tennessee

and it sounds like there is that also goes on in western North Carolina as well as part of that. But did you hear any sounds that night after it went up the hill? Before that we had heard something that sounded like a coyote,

but I figured it was just a coyote. There's a lot of those things around everywhere too. But anyway, it had been raining some too. And the, I knew what it was when I saw it, believe it or not. I knew when I first thought to come in my mind is nobody in the right man to be up there in a gorilla suit or a rented monkey suit, something walking around that lady in the mountains back in there. But there's some pretty, I would say, private characters that live back in that

station in North Carolina. And I eliminated that. speaking real quick. I knew that wasn't what it was. It was just very, I was very respectful of it, but at the same time, I had a fear to come over me like I never had before, like the unknown fear. Kind that you really couldn't move. She was really upset. She just, she couldn't sleep at all. She wanted to keep the lights on all night. It's just one heck of an experience. Did you have a dog with you at all?

No, we didn't have any pets. Probably should have. I hadn't been back. Did you tell the owner of the property what happened? No. They were in Franklin, and all we'd done was set the key in the box. There's a box on the porch. She used to lead the key and leave.

So I didn't call them or anything. I just wanted to get out there. We went to got a motel room. and the remainder by stay in the mountains. Got out from that section of the woods. I had heard from other people that there had been some sidings up there after we saw that. Oh, really?

Yeah. In that same area of that cabin? Pretty close, yeah. That is something else. The interesting part is you said you knew right away what it was. Is that your first dealing with a Bigfoot? or is it just something that you'd heard the stories over the years? It's the only time I'm actually seeing the Bigfoot.

Now, back in 67, I got an interesting Bigfoot with the Patterson film. I joined the Patterson Bigfoot Club. You did? Oh, wow. Yeah. You tell me about that? That's awesome. Yeah, and Jeff Melram was a member two.

You just sent $25 bucks to his home in California. And they sent you a little card and a five or seven of the patty of the Bigfoot. then you get newsletters updated newsletters for about a year or how long you join that's amazing you probably don't have any of that stuff still i'd imagine yeah i got my five or seven but i lost my car i still got the five seven picture that's amazing oh wow how cool is that that's a piece of history right there for sure yeah yeah i've told a lot to a lot of people a lot of people want to look at it It's a good shot. For that error with the 8mm, whatever, the U-16 millimeter, or whatever the hair. But the feeling that comes over you,

when you see this unknown creature or whatever it is, it's a very respectable fear. Like, you don't know what you're looking at, it's real. It's kind of like a UFO or something. You know it's there, but you can't. It's hard to describe it. to other people that you actually see

this, the course pictures and all, but I've been shot at before and everything else. I never had that feeling before, though, not that fear. This is a different fear, even than being shot at. That's incredible. It's an unknown fear.

You can't, you don't know what to do with it. What do you think it is that we're dealing with with this creature? I'm sure you thought of that a few times over the years since seeing that. Yeah. I really can't.

An ape, a humanoid ape, maybe, I don't think it's gigantic epiphytus that giant ape that disappeared. I think it's something completely different. But I can't figure all this dimensional stuff out and

how families, they have to be a family because eights are very sociable. unless it was an outcast that come by or something, I think there's probably a family there in that section. Interesting.

Because eggs are real sociable. Oh, yeah. Definitely. It wouldn't be one by itself unless it was scouting or an outcast or been running out of clan. So I don't know, though. It's just a strange mystery there. I don't know if we'll ever get to answer to it.

I know. I'd like to think it's the final last big mystery that we're all trying to figure out for sure. And it's quite the mystery. John, we were talking on a Facebook before this. And it sounds like you have some really interesting stories from over the years about down in Alabama. Yeah, I lived in Winston County in the Bankhead Forest for 12 years in North Alabama. And there's been quite a few things sitting up there all kinds. of creatures from Native American lore and kind of big huge coyote population and just different

things hurt in the woods. I got a friend, his name's Chris. He's passed on since then, but we used to do a little bit of hunting up there. And this guy that's on the cabin on Sniff Lake said he'd been hearing some noises. He didn't know what it was. he thought it was wolf some coyotes or something. And we went down in the holler, and they had found some footprints about 20 inches long.

This is the wintertime. Now, ice coming out of the ground. And Chris made a cast of them, and he got real involved with it. And started doing some different things with it, but I did. And I had a farm. I was living on a farm.

I didn't have time to really do that. but in that same area, another hunter was in a cornfield, and he had a photo on his cell phone of this monkey-looking creature that was taller than the corn, but it only had one arm. It looked like he was missing the arm in the images. Something was to shot him or he lost his arm somehow or another, but anyway, it was speaking something up off the ground, back there by the cornfield, by the creek.

it was jet black that's the only personal experiences I had with Bigfoot just hearing things in the woods I can't explain you saw that actual photo

oh yeah he was a good guy too he was just no country boy he got out making money or nothing but I'd impress anybody that's a darker black color Bigfoot you said

had you ever heard any stories about white bigfoot down there in Alabama? Yeah, they call it the white thing down here. Right. I've heard of that. And you got to swamp eight down in South Alabama there around Mobile. They talk about those too. I don't know if there's different species of the same creature or whether the different species or something totally different.

But it's just too much going on, too many witnesses, too many legends, too many Native American legends. I tried to be a skeptic one time and looked on the dark side of the, but it just won't happen. It's just not. It's just overwhelming evidence. I just, it's basically after you see one, you know that the unknown is here.

Absolutely. Do you mind sharing what happened? There's a story about Bigger Hollow in the 1950s in Alabama? Yeah, that's just down the road here. That's by 15 miles down the road. there was a family that lived there, and their dad was a mechanic. He had a shop right there at the farm. This is in the 50s, late 50s.

He had two big old hogs. I think they were in the 350-pound, 400-pound range. But the dogs had been barking for three or four days. Something came up one night, got both the hogs out of the pen, took them probably a quarter of a mile or more down into the woods, just pull them apart like it was just eating parts of the body of it. It was just like

no bite or anything, but the bones pulled out of the joints and all. And somebody had seen something across the road down there. They called it a booger that run across the road, which was probably a big foot. But from that time on, it's been

known as booger hollering it. It was on a dirt road at that time. Now they'd paved the roads through there. And then in the early 60s, there's a creek here called Foss Creek that runs in the Talapus River. Two hunters was down there hunting one time. They saying this thing crossed the creek and then went across the river there. It shows, and it held his hands up like a monkey.

Just held them out of the water and crossed the river. And it said his waist was up above the river, and the river's about, I don't know, at least five foot deep right there. But that was in the newspaper back in that day. and then there was a doctor and his wife that saw a creature cross road up here at Davidson out of mouth one night. He was a preacher, him and his wife and his son. All right, quick quiz for the hiring managers out there.

They couldn't exactly tell how tall it was, but they knew it was taller than a car. So there's been some activity in this area quite a bit over the years. Why do you think that certain areas of the country tend to have more activity than others? It sounds like there's a lot of really wild stuff happening down there in Alabama over the years. Well, Alabama still has a lot of woods. Of course, we got the tree farms too with the pines. Paper companies are buying a lot of land, clear-cutting land. but we still have a lot of hardwood forest down here

and places hard to get to because of the mountainous areas, but it's really changing. I don't know if they migrate or on the move or go where the gangs at. They may follow the deer or... I'm sure they eat about anything they can find, though. I don't know if it migrate or not, but this area's got a lot of woods in.

And we got Cheyall Mountain State Park used to road here, Tidal-Dickie County. there's been quite a few sightings up there too. There's a mountain, not too far from here, called Creaky Mountain. They've had quite a few sidings there, too, the whole family's of them. Oh, really? Yep. Oh, wow.

Yeah, all the time. My cousin Martin Green, he lives up there, not too far up there. Has he had sightings? Yeah, wow. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, he's told me some stories. Wow. We had an incident up here.

we had a private gathering of Bigfoot believers a couple of months ago up here inside the Holland's wildlife management. It's been several years ago like 15 or 16 years ago and Hunter was in a tree stand not far from this area we was camping and he came up missing for three or four days

his family got Sheriff's Department up there and he had been in a tree stand They found him a little three stand pulled apart from the joints. And the family kept it quiet. They didn't want no publicity about it than nothing because it was afraid all these people would come in there and question them to make pictures and just on and on. So they kept it quiet. But that was another incident here.

If that don't skew you nothing, Will. That's absolutely horrifying. And I do want to ask a clarifying question. I don't want to get too graphic. But so when you're saying like pulled apart, is the arm in one area apart from the body or everything's still connected, but it's just pulled out of the joints? Pulled out of the joints.

Oh, man. By my force. Nothing eaten or anything. Just killed and pulled apart. It twisted up. Just scattered. John, I've heard that story repeat. more often now in the last year or so,

then I would like to hear that there's just some creature that seems to be... Here's a story about twisting up a human. I've had another person recently where that happened to a coyote. I've had a person from Montana saying there was a grizzly bear where its neck was broken. It was all twisted up. And there's something with hands and opposable thumbs that needed to do that had to do this.

No other creature could have really done something like that. It's wild how everything is connecting. But this guy with a rescue team, rescue squad up there told me that he's saying the actual report. The sheriff's report claimed it was killed by an unknown animal. Or he was killed by an unknown animal. Really? Yep. So it could have been a bear.

It could have been a mountain line. We haven't seen a few of those here too, but I don't think so. Because mountain lines don't tear people apart that way. They just bite into them and tear them up pretty bad where they're eating out from them. A whole different scenario. You said that was just in the last few years? In the last 10 or 15 years, that hunt incident, yeah. Wow.

That's intense. It is. A lot of woods there too. It goes right into the Holland's wild out preserve and just she hauled state forest. She hauled state park, real mountainous area, real remote. Are there other stories in that area of intense things like that? If I was a Bigfoot research and I heard that story, I would, man, I would have my buddy with me before going in an area like that where hunters been pulled apart.

We had people from all over the United States that last gathering there. Really? Some of them were selling the books and different things. Yeah, we had some good speakers, but nobody had the nerve to go back in there where he was found. I've been back in there with another guy, but I don't think I want to go back in there again. It's just too bad feeling you get in there. So you get back there and it just washes over you. Yeah, you just get a real bad dark feeling or something.

I don't know. It's just I don't know how to explain that either. I think that's a good lesson that if you're going to try to go out and look for Bigfoot by yourself, maybe consider having a buddy with you. Yeah, I've been in the woods many times by myself. I have a place that I go here that nobody ever goes. It's on private property. That's where I had a scare there a while back

I don't know what it was But I hadn't been back since I heard that It could have been a big foot Trying to scare me off or warm me or something But it's a gorgeous place I put pictures on the Facebook of it It's a big waterfall and all But it's on private property

And they really don't want nobody They don't want to advertise it or nothing Yeah sure It's too precious of a place anyway for a crowd are going. They don't want that. People start going down there. No, you know how people do, teenagers and people. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Once they find out, they go and... Yep, that's a spot. Yeah. So, you said you heard something really weird there, though. Yeah, I heard some type of vocalization that's sounding between a grunt

and I would say German language. Almost sounded German. Yeah. It was real deep and real strong. I only heard it once, but that was enough. How far out in the woods were you at this place? Is it pretty far to get out there? Well, there's not, but two houses on the whole road.

And one of those old people lived there in the old farmhouse, and the other house is unoccupied. It's an old farmhouse. It's on a side road off the main highways. It's about three miles back there. Then you have to walk about a mile but it could creek you get to the falls. I bet you those old people, man,

if they've lived there for a long time, they've probably experienced some stuff. I bet you. Yeah, they've heard all kinds of stuff over the years. But I don't think Bigfoot's anything new, like I say. I guess, you know, a lot of people talk about it because they're don't want people to make fun of them or mock them or anything.

But I'm 702 years old, I don't really, They don't really bother me. I don't care what people think. Do you think it's important to share what you've seen with other people? What do you think? Yeah, I do. Because I think it is if somebody's willing to listen. Why else are we going to learn from this?

That's right. The way I look at it is people are willing to tell me their story. I'm willing to listen to help get it out to people that are also willing to listen. And maybe that helps them make connections that they would not have made, gives them the courage to go look with their buddies. There's all different things that sharing your story can lead to that are positive, for sure. Yeah, something this, I would say fantastic. It's just hard to.

I was at the Bigfoot Museum in North Georgia. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Expedition Bigfoot. I told him about it. He knows about it. The guy runs at the museum. David Bekara, yeah. Yeah, but you and you're the only ones I've told anything about this

as far as public except friends. You know, I just, everybody don't have any interest in it. Everybody, a lot of people think it's a whole shit and just blah, blah, blah. I appreciate you sharing it on the podcast for everyone to listen to. That's very special. Yeah, I talked to David a few months ago and, man, David has people coming in every day talking to him.

It is wild. We may not know anything yet. That's for sure. Maybe on the verge of it, though. Yeah, I think that. You may be right that we are, I hear all sorts of stuff. I get to see a lot of stuff behind the scenes. And I think that one of these years we're definitely going to find something that cannot be explained away.

The only thing you can explain it is that it is Bigfoot. There's something out there. And I just think what the shadow government mind now. That's true. Do you think that the government already. knows about this guy. What do you think? I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I'm pretty sure, too.

Yeah. Everything else, why wouldn't it be in the Bigfoot? I mean, that's a good point, and it does seem to be everywhere. You got sightings in all the lower 48, definitely Alaska. Not really in Hawaii. That's the one place. Bigfoot staying out of Hawaii. But everywhere else, you can find Bigfoot sightings. John, it has been a privilege to talk to you.

Thanks for sharing all the stories that you have, your encounter. This has been a great time. You're very welcome. Like I say, I don't mind sharing. I'm just feeling truth. Better to have it out than in. That's right. And if you ever stumble upon anything else, feel free to hit me up.

I'd love to talk with you again, but thanks for coming on, John. Yes, sir. Thank you. And you and have a good night. Hey, all, this is Jeremiah from the Bigfoot Society podcast. And coming at you today, I have some anonymous Bigfoot encounters to share, some anonymous Bigfoot reports to share. This is volume number two.

I've got a few emails to go through with you. See what you think. Let me know in the comments, what you think about this. And if you have your own Bigfoot encounter to share, you can head over to Bigfootsocietypodcast.com and a little bit lower on the screen. There's a share your Bigfoot encounter form. Fill it out the most detailed you can. Let me know if this is anonymous or what name you want associated with it. And I'll share those on YouTube. And also this will be going into the podcast as well.

Let's get into it here. First email says, we moved out to the ranch and central California, late 68 or early 69. We had no neighbors for miles. Our house was on a hillside overlooking the cattle pasture on the other side of the fence was the Salinas River that flowed into the ocean. Miles from us, from the house on the yard, you had a good view of the river. It was just awesome for a 13 or 14-year-old girl that loved outdoors on all animals.

as a shock what was out there lived out there too one evening we was headed to town with my parents and a holy moly dad came to a complete stop

right in front of us ran a white big foot at the time I was like what's that and dad said it's a hunter and I said no that's not a hunter and white fur at night

and it doesn't have a gun with it It kneeled or squared down behind a bush, maybe 30 feet off the dirt road, hands up to its face, and covering its face, but not open half bent like, maybe with its head looking down. My dad tried shutting me up. I wanted to see more. My little brother remembers that sighting. My father was a believer in Patty, but years later I think he had to know. Like when he put in a garden with a six-foot-high fencing, planted more on the outside than on the side. the inside. That's clever. We never seen one thing from that garden. Now the next two incidents,

I'm not sure which came first. Before sunup, but you could still see. Walking to the back pasture with three dogs, I could see something white moving around a little embankment. Didn't appear very big until it stood up and jumped that fence, cleared that cattle fence, ran hitting the bushes on branches, screaming or something. out of sight. Dogs came back running scared. I didn't bother my horse one bit. She wasn't scared of this six, maybe six and a half foot thing that wasn't too far from her.

Odd, right? We got out of the back pasture fast, and I had my bridle in hand. Nope. Then stick around for my saddle. I'm thinking it was the third time riding my horse, taking a shortcut home. On a small trail, bushes and trees are not too far from the river, but steep coming down the hill just before it flattens out to my right loud crashing coming right at me and I think my horse just stopped it's almost dark it ran maybe six feet ahead of us same thing by

the time it turned around it was already kneeling down and hands up to its face and now I'm a bit scared because I'm off down in there nobody would find me so I turned my horse around and we went up as slowly as we came down. And once again, she didn't mind it at all. Up to this day, I wish I could have seen its face. Not even that close. Just fur. Pointed head and a stocky body.

No long hair. Fur maybe at the most three inches long. Some shorter. I never, I knew never to say a word about this to anyone. I didn't want to hunted. At the time, I didn't even know what it was. I think maybe it was a teenager, bigfoot reaching out. Another time looking out our dining room window, I called my mom to look at an old man fishing in the river.

By the time I hit my 50s, I'd learned a few things, like how family is precious. Work can always wait. And 99% of people over 50 already have the virus that causes shingles. Not everyone at risk will develop it. But I did.

The painful, blistering rash disrupted my life for weeks. Don't learn about your shingles risk the hard way. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today. Sponsored by GSK. He would bend down and back up again a few hours later, still there. And there was fish that wasn't good eating. I heard that run once a year. Years later, I thought, wow, that must have been that.

I've had rocks thrown close to me. thought someone was being sneaky chopping a tree, two or three chops at a time. That's interesting too. All the yelling my father would say, oh, that's a drunk down there with a bullhorn. It was that loud. Who's going to walk that far to do that? From down at the corral, I could hear some kind of talking. Another time in the middle of the pasture was a huge stump.

went back in and had my dad look. When he came out later, he said, I know you didn't move that by yourself. And I looked and it was no longer there. It was reddish brown. Just rolling hills, some a bit steep, where they hid and lived, must have traveled far to hang out there.

Wish I could tell you more about the white big foot, but that's all I seen. It did seem like the thigh and lower leg was similar in size. I wish I knew all I could know now about Bigfoot. I would have showed kindness somehow. Anyways, a bit, if boring, I know. Change anything on this, it's a bit long also.

That's Judy from Facebook. And that's anonymous from Facebook from out in California. And that happened. I believe she, believe it was said back in the 60s or 70s. Indies. There's a lot to unpack in that one. The cool things, obviously, the white big foot is pretty wild. But there's a few things that the person says that are gone over pretty quick that say a lot.

The one being rocks thrown at the person, someone being sneaky chopping a tree, to or three chops, I'm thinking that's probably wood knacks. All the yelling that her father would say was a drunk down with a bullhorn. Well, we know that's probably an actual bigfoot making howls.

It's just wild, right? It's absolutely wild. And I'm sure there's more of a story there, but it's been a long time for the person and I'm just glad that person shared. It was they were courageous enough. They were brave enough to share, we could say,

so that other people can also share what happened to them. Let's head on to the next one. This next one is a shorter report comes from Ben in Oregon. I was hunting deer on my, on Mamie Corporation ground back in 2017 and was walking back to the truck on a logging road and saw in around 7.5 foot tall black hair covered creature on two feet move very quickly and agile across the logging road, had no smell and was very fluent going across the road.

Seems like it didn't care I was there. And it ran between me and the truck roughly 100 feet from me, if not closer, my friend's dog was on the back of the truck and looking at the creature did not make a single noise like the dog knew not to make a noise and I looked in the forest where the creature went in and there was no noise

and it was dead quiet that's just crazy right and that's the one thing that the gentleman has seen that's just wild it's crazy that the dog knew

it's time to be quiet and the whole forest knows it's time to be quiet. That kind of stuff would wig you out, dude. I don't know. On Bigfoot Society, we had an episode a few back where I talked to a trucker on the Kenai Peninsula. This is a report from another trucker. This is from Daniel.

Only this is on the opposite side of the U.S. So here we go. Before I even tell my story, I never believed in this type of stuff. I'm a truck driver. when I made some deliveries in Massachusetts, I can't remember the town in the mountains because I just didn't care about those crazy people at the time.

I'm laughing because I grew up in the mountains of Massachusetts, so I know what he's talking about. He's definitely talking about Western Massachusetts. What I mean by crazy is people talking about Bigfoot's openly in public as it was a casual thing. Truck drivers have to take a 32-hour reset during a 70-hour work week. And during my 30-hour reset in the town,

there are signs posted up warning people that it is against the law to shoot down Bigfoot's. I went to this bar in the town and ate there. I couldn't wrap my head around these Bigfoot warning signs. So I asked the bartender, what's the deal with these Bigfoot signs? She replied, yes, they're everywhere here. I literally rolled in my eyes and told her,

seriously, why is it against the law for something that doesn't exist? She replied, they are real. The guy next to me told me he saw them as well. And I went to this mom and pop truck station across from the bar and asked the cashier about those bigfoot signs and he said, the same thing that the lady's saying, all I can think of is that these people are nuts. In my 30-hour reset needs to speed up

before I become a victim in some situation. But a year later, while driving, in Arizona on the 87, I decided to pull over to take a 30-minute lunch break. Now, the 87 is a back road highway. Lots of dirt because it's a desert, but it still has trees and bushes around considering I'm in a forest territory. When I take the back roads on the 87, it's perfect to pull over to take a lunch and enjoy the scenery.

The only at normal time I had while taking a lunch here is seen a dead bulldog next a tree. Wow. However, as I was eating my lunch while taking a bite out of my sandwich, I saw a big foot that came right out of this big bush, but when it saw me, it automatically turned around and went back into the bush. This bush is a big bush, but not bigger than the big foot that I just witnessed. And this is the thing that got me. How can something that wide and muscular be able to fit and hide into that bush? And it moves so fast while being in stealth mode. I've done MMA professional highly trained and military things in tactical situations and I normally would detect or have a sense of my surroundings if someone was watching me. But I didn't when I saw this Bigfoot.

Maybe because I was in the truck relaxed in my comfort zone. So I told myself, there's no way I just saw what I saw. The Bigfoot is not as tall as I've been here in some stories, but very muscular and hairy, like an orange-red type of color to it. It moved so fast I couldn't get a clear, detailed description. I did not see the face of this thing because it seemed like he didn't know that I was there. It so happened to run into me. This was my assumptions from the way he moved and turned right back around and went back into the bushes if he even came from there.

Now this is a scary thing about this. There's no way this big foot can hide in those bushes and not be seen while hiding because the bushes are not big enough. I did not take my eyes off that bush only when I grabbed my gun from my hip, that is. I said to myself, what exactly is this going to do to this big thing if this big creature decides to attack me? So when I was done with my 30 minutes lunch break, I drove slowly up to that bush, assuming that Bigfoot was still there hiding and it wasn't there. For months later, I witnessed this Bigfoot.

I couldn't, or for months after witnessing this big foot, I couldn't get it out of my mind. I even believed I was seeing things. I started to do some research on Bigfoot's. It came across that they have access to portals, which explains why they disappear and reappear out of nowhere. Even hikers run into these portals and land hundreds or thousands of miles away from where they were in a matter of seconds. Even authorities can't even explain this, but I know exactly. on what I saw.

Another story I witnessed two other things as well while driving, but that's for another time. But I believe people, when they say they encounter these creatures now, ever since I witnessed them myself, Jesse. Oh, wait, no. Daniel, my bad. He has got some really interesting stories there. Truckers are seeing some interesting things when they're going around the U.S. I love those guys. Wish I heard more from truckers because I know they're the one seeing stuff like Mike Casey.

Cool dude. Do I believe that there's a place in Massachusetts up in the hill country, the mountains where people are seeing Bigfoot? Absolutely. Now, when I lived out there about 20 years ago, I lived in Western Mass. There's a saying that there be dragons out there. That's how wild it is. And I didn't even live in the crazy part of the hill country. So if people that are listening know more about this area in Massachusetts where supposedly there's Bigfoot warning signs and people have seen them all over the place and you know about this bar, I would love to hear more from you.

And you can do the share of your Bigfoot encounter report on the website, Bigfoot. Societypodcast.com. As for portals, I'm not sure. Again, this is a creature where we don't have all the info yet. Now, I myself personally, I think we're looking at a undiscovered great-eb creature. Animals can do a lot of weird stuff. And do we know everything about our universe,

about our world, our world yet? No. So I'm not going to go either way. And I know some of you are going to call me. for it and that's fine bring it on all right last but not least jesse summer of 2000 when i was 14 me and my friend were dirt biking at a local motocross track by house and a hungry horse montana it's located just below the dam and in that area there's a lot of trails to ride on my friend's bike broke down at the track so he jumped on the back of my bike and we headed back for the house we took the damn road

because it was the quickest way back now there's two long straight stretches on the road and i rounded the bend going fast to the second stretch of road i'm looking out of ways in front of me and at the end of the straightaway probably a third to a half mile i see what i thought at first was a person wearing an all dark close, oh, all dark clothes, walk out of the ditch, weirdly looking at us, rotating most of their body,

and walking off the other side and disappearing. At the end of that straightaway is a 35-mile-an-hour speed sign. When it walked out originally, I saw it was taller than the sign, and it was beyond it from me. I didn't think much about the height as we were riding back to the house. I just thought it was some weirdo

out walking in the woods on the trails or something like that. So we grab the truck and we drive back. What I'm getting at, when I'm getting to that straightaway where I saw the person, I realized the speed limit sign is about as tall as the cab of my truck, which is stock 83 F-150, and which would have made that person at least seven foot. At the time I was 14, I heard a big foot, but it wasn't really on my radar of interest. The day, that day, though, it all changed. There is no way.

There isn't, that is in no way a person. I watch shows on history and discovery after that and I'm sure I saw Bigfoot. I only told a few people about my experience because it's always something people give you a hard time about unless you find others that have a passion for Bigfoot also. I enjoy your podcast and look forward to the next one, Jesse from Montana. So that's exactly why I do these things because people out there have things that they've seen and they, they, don't trust people to share it. They're going to get made fun of. They're going to get, I mean, it could seriously affect their lives, which is why I have

a Bigfoot Society podcast so I can talk to people and they have a way to share their encounters to get it off their chest if they need to anonymously become a supporting member of the Bigfoot Society podcast by going to www. patreon.com forward slash the bigfoot society. and receive extra episodes and early ad-free episodes as well.
