You're listening to the Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. Tonight's account is from a mother in Oregon's Willamette Valley, someone who just wanted a peaceful night camping with her daughter, but the woods had other plans. What happened that night is something you've got to hear to believe
Starting point is 00:01:29 but thankfully they were able to fight back. This is a story of an anonymous woman who came forward and what happened that night at Fish Lake. So stay with us. All right, Bigfoot Society. You've got the privilege of talking to an anonymous individual from the Willamette Valley in Oregon today reached out to this individual.
Starting point is 00:01:49 Actually, we got connected on the TikTok platform and welcome to the show, Anonymous. How are you doing today? Oh, pretty good. Thank you. Absolutely. I know that we have a lot of interesting things to talk about today. You've got a lot of experiences that you want to share. We are keeping your name as anonymous for certain reasons for this interview. But I'd like to welcome you to take us back to the first time that you had an experience and feel free to to share what happened there. Okay, yeah, great.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Thank you. Yeah, so my first experience was about 2015, I believe, here in the Willamette Valley. And I grew up in my woods, in the woods, my whole life with my dad as a hunter and all that. So, like, I know what animals sound like, look like how they act. But I was with a friend,
Starting point is 00:02:58 and we decided to go for a hike out in a park up here. And we were just hanging out in the dark and in the moonlight to check the moon out because it was like a big strawberry moon or something like that. It was like August or September. And it was pretty warm out. So we were just sitting there watching the moon. And there's kind of like a mountain ridge, pretty good mountain ridge in front of us. and we couldn't see it, of course, because it was super dark.
Starting point is 00:03:29 And then we're just sitting there kind of talking, just having a good time and looking at the stars and the moon. And then all of suddenly there's like, it just like got real quiet. And we're like, what the heck is going on? And then it just, it sounded like a freight train almost coming down like the side of the mountain. And it literally came up to us in like maybe just a minute or two. Something kind of unreal.
Starting point is 00:03:55 And we're just like, we stood up and we're like, whoa, what is this? And there was tall grass in front of us. So we couldn't see anything really. But you could just feel something was like there because it stopped right in front of us. We couldn't see anything. We just stood up, locked arms. And my friend, he was like, I don't know what this is or what's going on. And he had a gun.
Starting point is 00:04:24 I didn't even know. And I was like, whoa, you have a gun? And he's like, yeah, for stuff like this. And he was like a firefighter in the woods. And he knows, you know, how animals and everything acts. And he was just as frightened as I was. And we were just shocked and it was pretty intense. But you could just feel like this thing was just right in front of us.
Starting point is 00:04:50 And we walked out of there, locked arms, you know, grabbed the blanket we were sitting on and walked out of there shaking. And we were in just a national park right here in almost a residential area. And I think it was like maybe about midnight or so. So it was pretty dark. And yeah, we just went to the car and we were shaken. And it was a pretty intense experience except for, you know, we were fine. and nothing happened to us, but it wasn't like a normal animal would do that or anything.
Starting point is 00:05:31 And we know it was very big. It was very big. That's incredibly intense. You said that wasn't a national park? Yeah, actually, it's a state park, I believe, like Luckmew State Park here in Oregon. It's right off the Willamette River, I believe. in North Albany, Oregon. There's the North Lucky Meets State Park is where we were.
Starting point is 00:06:00 And then there's the South Lucky Moot Park, which I've also had other experiences with other people at that park as well. And during the day. That was your first kind of introduction to the weirdness of Bigfoot, it sounds like. Yes. Yep. And, you know, like I always believed as a child and, and I was like, oh, probably, you know, I believe anything is out there really. And, yeah, because I've seen stuff in the sky, you know, I just, I've had a lot of intense experiences like that. And so I just believe that, you know, anything is possible. And, but I do want to just, I don't want to like scare people or anything, but I do want to be like, you know, know, proceed with caution out there because there is some serious stuff out there. And, I mean, from my experiences, it makes me kind of just want to make sure I have some kind of protection and I don't care, like, and be with people. And not by myself because, yeah, there's some pretty big stuff out there. Yeah, I think that's very wise, especially in a
Starting point is 00:07:21 state like Oregon, you would not want to go out in these woods by yourself. It is never a good idea. At least be completely prepared if you're going to do so, but it's always a good idea for people to be with you or to have some kind of beacon, something like that. So then after that, how did that affect your life in any way after you had that experience? Oh, yeah, for sure. It changed like just my out like actually like belief. I was like, oh, geez, this is really real because I mean, I wasn't a lot. Like my friend I was with, like I said, he's grown up in the woods his whole life and he's a firefighter. So I mean, I'm sure he'd been in the woods more than I have even. And I was like, have you experienced anything like that before? He's like, no, absolutely not. And I'm like, okay, well, me either. So we're on the thing. page there. Very, very interesting. At this point, did you start to try to look for these experiences yourself, or did they just
Starting point is 00:08:36 continue to happen to you naturally? They just kind of continued naturally. But like prior, I mean, I've seen stuff like in the sky, you know, I've seen UFOs just a very weird stuff that I cannot explain. It wasn't a plane. It was just, you know, stuff that I'm like, oh, yeah, that's definitely something bizarre out there. But I don't think that's, like, anything natural that we have, but I don't know. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:09:10 So you were having UFO sightings earlier in your life multiple times, it sounds like? Yes. Just a few. Just like I've seen, like, two or three kind of all. odd, you know, weird things out there, for sure. Was that around the same area then or different areas of Oregon? Yeah, actually the same area. Okay, okay, gotcha.
Starting point is 00:09:37 After you had that first encounter at that state area in Albany, what would be, what was the next thing you think happened that would have been maybe related to Bigfoot? So yeah the next experience I had was very intense and this was camping and like it was like summer of 2020. So yeah, it was like, you know, during after COVID or whatever up at Fish Lake Oregon. And my parents had actually got a campsite off the dirt road. It's just like a dry camp. It's right next to the dry lake.
Starting point is 00:10:21 And then there's clear lake kind of right down the road, which is super awesome and beautiful. And like the McKenzie River and McKinsey Highway and all that up there. And you're pretty far up there. I mean, there's some pretty massive volcanic caves and stuff up there, like cave systems and all kinds of crazy. And the forest is super, super dense and super, super thick. I would not go in that forest alone. But you can't really walk around there anyway as like a little human because of the volcanic rock is so sharp. And it's just like really treacherous.
Starting point is 00:11:04 You can't walk around off trail too much up there. My parents had got like basically at the far end. It was like a cul-de-sac basically off the road to dry camp and they had a trailer. and we were super happy. Like me and my daughter went up there and we haven't been camping for a while. I was like, this is good. This is awesome. And we're just going to have a nice trip.
Starting point is 00:11:29 And then as it was getting dark, we were, you know, hanging by the fire, my dad and stuff. And then me and my daughter had a tent back behind their trailer. So that made us the very last tent. Or, yeah, basically. And then no campers, like, and all the rest of the campers were going up towards the road. So there was no one behind us. We were the actually last people back there. So I don't know if that made us more of like, we were just very secluded.
Starting point is 00:12:02 There was nothing, no one back there. And you couldn't really, even in the dark, it was just so treacherous that you couldn't really, people wouldn't be back there anyway. But, yeah. So I wanted a fire back there because it started getting. dark and I asked my dad, I was like, hey, I want some coals to start a fire because it's really dark back there and kind of scary. He laughed at me and I was like, no, it's scary. You know, like, I don't know. So I went to grab a shovel and I noticed I had scared something back into
Starting point is 00:12:36 the woods. Well, it was kind of like a drop off and it startled me. I didn't know. I was like, what in the world? And I didn't think anything of it except for the way it hit the ground was very hard and solid and it made a thud and then it didn't move after that and I was like, what the heck? So I go back to my dad and I'm like, hey, you know, I scared something
Starting point is 00:12:58 off in the woods back there. It's kind of big, it like hit the ground hard and he's like, oh, it's just a squirrel or a raccoon or something and I'm like no, no, this was heavy. And it didn't move after that. It didn't like run off you know, like an animal wood. it just like stayed where it hit the ground and he's like oh it's fine you're just spooked and so i don't
Starting point is 00:13:23 think anything of it i was like whatever and um i just continued you know to get ready for bed and we had dogs too so dogs will be barking at anyone around us people or anything like i had a hound dog and a red healer at the time so they were with us and that hound dog i mean she ain't going to let anybody near that camp. A person especially, like she's not, like she's going to howl and make all kinds of noise. So this was like something that she either knew it was already there and didn't care about it or she was just ignoring it.
Starting point is 00:14:02 So, yeah, it was very intense. Me and my daughter were just kind of sitting by the fire. I had a cup of my hand in, I was brushing my teeth and I was like, hey, this is, this is pretty awesome, you know, right? She's like, yeah, and then she made a weird look and I'm like, well, what's going on? She's like, there's this wet popping sound and it's disgusting. It's like right above my head.
Starting point is 00:14:31 And I'm like, what? And then I like, it brought me to my attention that I was hearing it and I just was ignoring it. And I was like, no, I don't know what this is. And I sat there to listen. And because it was like going back and forth between me and her. And it was like this really weird, like wet popping sounds. Like you know how like a kid would sit at their desk and make that popping sound with their finger?
Starting point is 00:14:56 Like a pop. It was just like that except for it echoed super loud. And we were just, yeah, it was like just weird. And she was all grossed out. She was like, that's, this is gross. And I'm like, well, what? I don't get it. And they're sitting there.
Starting point is 00:15:15 And then these birds started chirping. And it was like almost 10 o'clock at night. And I'm like, are birds? Why are birds chirping? It's like, are they sleeping? And then the birds were like right above us. It was just weird. And I'm like, this isn't really normal behavior.
Starting point is 00:15:33 And then so I'm just kind of like analyzing anything. I didn't have a phone or anything. And I didn't really see anything. This is our experience that we were having out there. and we were back behind my parents trailer in a tent and so that's it and then the dogs were like up front so they weren't even caring about what was going on and then um all suddenly this wet popping sound like explodes in my face it was the weirdest thing i've ever experienced i don't know what it was um i didn't see anything it was just like a weird just like explosion of that
Starting point is 00:16:12 wet popping sound is the only way I can describe it. And I mean, I stood up. My chair flew out from under me. I mean, I almost like trompled through the fire. And my daughter drops her phone and we're running. But then there was something like that like charged at us from the bushes too. So there was movement, but I still couldn't see what it was. And I could hear like walking.
Starting point is 00:16:37 I could hear like footsteps, which was another thing that was tripping me out because I'm like, what the heck is that? And then we run and we go in the trailer and my dad's all mad and he's like and he's got guns so he's like an avid, you know, hunter fisherman.
Starting point is 00:16:55 He's always in the woods. He knows everything. He sees everything. And he's like, no way. You guys are being so silly and it's just this is stupid. And I'm like, no, there's stuff out there. I can hear it walking around. Like there's a sweat,
Starting point is 00:17:11 popping sound stuff going on. We don't know what it is. And then we're like shaking. On this episode of plant killers, we'll explore one nation's most notorious fruit and vegetable killer. Bad dirt. What makes bad dirt so bad? The answer?

It's made with quality organic ingredients from upcycled green waste like compost and aged bark. Unlike the other guys, who can't say the same. Looks like Bad Dirt's murdering days are over.

And they don't want us in there.
Starting point is 00:18:44 So we're just like, we've got to go back out to the tent, go to sleep. And it was almost like getting around 11 o'clock. So I remember the time. I was trying to keep track of the time. And then once I got to my phone, I started texting so I could actually know what time it was. But I didn't get to my phone until later. And then we went back to the tent. But I made my mom and the dog go because I was like, I'm not going back out
Starting point is 00:19:11 there by herself because you're not believing what I'm saying. And she's all upset and she's like, I can't believe I got to go out there with you guys. It's so stupid. I'm like, well, I'm sorry. It's scary back there, you know? All this stuff is going on. And so we get in there. And I, of course, I have like a red lantern.
Starting point is 00:19:32 And that's all I got for a light. So it's like a horror movie in itself. And we're shaking with a dog and my mom. and I could still hear the walking though like I could hear walking around us in footsteps and I'm like oh crap this is it's still out there it didn't like go away it's still there and my mom's just like oblivious doesn't like believe me or us and and then she leaves and then she leaves the dog with us and the dog is just like shaking he's just shaking
Starting point is 00:20:03 he's like looking at me like I can't believe I'm out here with you and I'm just like I'm sorry And he's just shaking to death and it's a red healer. He shouldn't be like that. He's just like funny. Oh, God. And then this thing walks up the side of my tent and I'm just, I am screaming bloody murder at it like to the top of my lungs to go away. I'm like, go away, go away, go away.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Just trembling, terrified. And I'm like, people have to hear me because I'm screaming to the top of my lungs. no one cared. We're just like back there shaking and terrified. And then this thing walks around the front of the tent and goes to my daughter's side. It seemed like it was more interested in her. I didn't even care about me. Just like I'm screaming bloody murder at it.
Starting point is 00:20:53 And no, it goes to her side. And then there's like a tree. Because I remember the tree being there by the side of her tent. And then it starts pushing in on the side of the tent at her. It was like a horror movie and she punched it through the tent and it fell back and hit the ground with a heavy thud. And we grabbed our blankets and stuff and ran with the dog and we're back to the trailer and they were all mad at us even more. And we didn't have a place to sleep. So we're like, we're just going to go to the car.
Starting point is 00:21:28 My hound dog or a hound dog, she's very close to us in my parents' truck. So she could reach, reach my car with her chain or whatever, her rope. So she was free outside. She could roam around. She wasn't barking or anything. Like she didn't seem worried or scared. And I'm just like, but she was being very quiet. And so I was like, well, she either knows this thing is out here and she just doesn't care.
Starting point is 00:21:54 But it's not a human or a person because she'd be barking like crazy at it. And then also there was like these older people camping right in front of us with like, they were outside and stuff. So I was just like, I couldn't believe that they didn't even come over to see if we were okay because we had to been making so much noise. I know I was, but yeah,
Starting point is 00:22:14 I was like, whatever, and they're fine. We're being harassed and whatever. It's like the middle of the night. We're being harassed. And so we're in the car. My daughter finally starts to go to sleep.
Starting point is 00:22:26 I lock everything up. And I just have this feeling. This thing is like watching us. I don't know what's going on. But then my car shakes and moves like it's touching my car. And I'm like, what the heck? This thing rubbed up against my car for the rest of the night until 2 o'clock in the morning. And I turned my car on.
Starting point is 00:22:47 I didn't want to see it. So I had my, I just didn't want to look at it. I didn't know what it was and really know what's going on. I just, I figured it was like Bigfoot because that was like my only explanation for it. because that's all I can think of it. You know, we're being harassed by something out there. But I didn't want to see it. So I had my face covered halfway.
Starting point is 00:23:11 And when I got my phone, I started texting. So I knew what time it was and all that. And this, it just would like rub up against my car. The car would shake. And I would, I'd rev the engine. So every time this thing rubbed up against my car, I would rub the engine to get it off the car. And the dog wouldn't bark.
Starting point is 00:23:34 And she was out there. So she was seeing this thing rub up against the car. And she didn't even seem scared. She would give it kind of like a half bark when I think. And then it would like rub up against the car. So it was like she kind of knew it was there. But she didn't want to. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:49 She was acting very weird for a dog. For a hound dog especially because that ain't right or normal. But then let's see. It was like around two. 2-45, the sun was starting to come up and that was like my savior because I was like, oh my gosh, it's finally starting to get light out. And I'm like thinking, the only way I'm going to know this thing has hands is if like something hits my car or like, that's all I was thinking was that if something hits my car, I'm going to know it has hands so it can throw stuff, I guess. That's like
Starting point is 00:24:23 one indication that it has like, you know, the same kind of function we do other than rubbing up against my car and then I'm sure enough like this little tiny pebble hit the center side of my window the passenger window in the car and just made a tink right in the center of it and the direction it came from actually there was a massive drop off it was like tree tops over there so I know there was like it was so steep there was nothing you couldn't even like a person wouldn't want to be down there and and it was two in the morning so who's throw no one's throwing rocks at my car window other than something odd. But yeah, that was my experience, camping officially.
Starting point is 00:25:08 That is absolutely, I mean, man, that is horrifying. Wow. In 2020. Yeah. Yeah. So you're already amped up. And then this on top of it. Can you provide, so not, you don't have to say the exact age, but, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:29 How old or young was your daughter at this time? She was a teenager, so I feel, I too believe she was maybe 15 or 16 at the time. Okay. Maybe a little older. So the next morning you get up, was it a leave the campsite as quickly as possible, or how was the next morning? Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, I spent, you know, the day we went to Clear Lake and went paddle boarding and stuff because it's absolutely gorgeous up there and can't really miss that. But yeah, we went and spent the day and then for sure I was not staying another night.
Starting point is 00:26:14 So we did not do that. But we did come back the next year in 2021. And we had also another experience. Gotcha. At the same spot. At the same spot. It was the same exact spot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Mm-hmm. Wow. A few more questions real quick about this one incident. Did you happen to notice were there any markings on your car where it had been pushed or handprints or anything? Yes. Yes. So, like in the dirt, like you could see like it looked like hair. Like hair, like a barrel or something almost was like rubbing up against my car.
Starting point is 00:26:53 I didn't see like hair or anything. but um and i didn't smell anything but it was like definitely like you could look it just looked like hair was rubbing had been rubbing up against it um yeah so there wasn't really like any marks or anything but the rock hitting my wind my window was definitely i was like oh gosh what the heck that's crazy and then everything stopped as soon as it got daylight um yeah it was over it just ended like it went away. Wow. Was there anything in the ground that you noticed that would have been maybe left over from that night? Yes. So there was scuff marks. So like the there was a scuff mark from the first time where I had scared whatever it was back into the woods where it jumped and just stayed there.
Starting point is 00:27:43 There was a big scuff mark there because I wanted to see if there was something and there was. And then also there was a lot of digging. I noticed like, because I went and walked. walked back farther to see if there was like any kind of other weird things going on. And yeah, there was like a way up high on the trees. It looked like bark strips were just like ripped off, like shredded down, like ripped in and there was like big gouges scraped into the trees themselves. And then it was just like the bark was being torn off the trees. And it was kind of some of it was on the ground but not all of it.
Starting point is 00:28:21 And then there was a lot of digging at the base. in the roots of the stumps and just bases in the trees. There was like a lot of like holes dug and not like from gophers or squirrels or anything. It was like actually dug. You could tell like something was digging all weird around like the bottoms of the trees where the roots would be and stuff. That's very, very, very strange. The next experience that in 2021 was we couldn't even stay the night. It was that bad.
Starting point is 00:28:52 sucked because I wanted to stay the night so bad and we traveled all that way. It's only an hour away for us, but an hour away for my parents, but we wanted to hang out and they were super upset that I could not stay the night. I drove back home. I was like, no, and that's not like me. I don't just do that. I've been in the woods like my whole life. I just, you know, once I'm somewhere, I'm going to be there, but not with what we were experiencing. I was like, no, we're going to go home. But so in 2021, when we got there, I had a different tent and I put it in a different spot. I just put it up more up front.
Starting point is 00:29:33 I was like, maybe it'll be better if we are not back where we were last time. But also back where we were last time, you couldn't be back there anymore because there was two trees just randomly placed kind of parallel to where our tent was, exactly to where our tent was. And then our little camp circle or fire pit was all filled in like a pyramid with rocks. It was very interesting. There was storms up there. I know it got stormy over the winter and all that, but just the way things were placed,
Starting point is 00:30:09 the trees themselves. And then the fire pit being filled in like a pyramid was definitely just kind of strange to me. that was not normal. But what made us leave was my, my daughter had kind of gone back to where we were camping with the tent prior to that. And she was back there. And then she came back and I had the tent up already. And I was like, look, we're going to have a nice night or whatever.
Starting point is 00:30:42 And she's like, no or not. And I'm like, what's wrong? And she's like, well, I heard that wet popping sound again. And I just looked at her like, what? And she's like, yep, yep, it's back there. And it was daylight. And I was like, no, you did not. And then I kind of started to pay attention.
Starting point is 00:31:01 And I was like looking around and listening. And I just started to get just a weird feeling. I was like, oh, we're getting, we're being watched right now by something. And so I was just hanging out. And then my daughter was, so I had parked in the same exact spot that I was. except for the tent was like kind of right next to us to where that little rock had hit the side of the window. So that's kind of where our tent was now, where that little rock came from. And so that's all tree top right behind the tent.
Starting point is 00:31:35 It was just tree top. You couldn't even go back there. It was just a drop off. And I'm standing there kind of facing my daughter and she's in a chair sitting in front of the tent. and then this rock comes bouncing up over the tent and almost hits her. And it was just like right in between us, right in front of us. And we're just looking at each other like, oh, no, we're going to go home. I'm not doing that, dude.
Starting point is 00:32:05 I'm not going to have rocks throwing out me like that. And be harassed with wet popping sales. Maybe more than that. I don't know. but it was a very intense. So I took the tent down and we did not stay the night. Wow, I do not blame you.
Starting point is 00:32:23 My goodness, how big was the rock that was thrown at you guys? It was just a little like pebble-sized rock. Like, just, it's funny. Just a little pebble-sized rock. And my tent was very tall. So you know the easy-up canopy tops with a cube that goes inside.
Starting point is 00:32:43 It's not a small tent. Like I had a very large, tent for this rock. And then plus back behind that was like a 20-foot drop-off. So wherever the rock came from, I have no clue because it came from far away. But the way it bounced down over the tent at us and landed right in between us was just the most bizarre thing. I was like, I don't know. On this episode of plant killers, we'll explore one nation's most notorious fruit and vegetable killer, bad dirt. What makes bad dirt so bad? The answer? The ingredients.

So both you and your daughter were in agreement we need to leave right now. Yeah. Yeah. I don't blame you. Yeah. And then my parents, you know, they were still. for upset. They were like, we can't believe you're leaving. This is so stupid. So I'm like,
Starting point is 00:34:47 what, you guys are so, and they'd been there the whole time. They're just, I don't know, if they were just not experiencing what we were or they were just used to it. I don't really know, but. Wow. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's interesting. You know, if my kid was being messed with, I'd be like, all right, time to go, you know, but whatever. It was a very weird thing because I didn't feel threatened like I needed like a gun or I don't know but also like I'm like I don't know how you know what the size of whatever this is is messing with us I don't even know what it looks like I just know these weird things that are happening around us um so like I never we never saw anything which is another really weird thing because I feel like it was so close to us whatever this thing was or whatever
Starting point is 00:35:41 yeah, whatever was going on. It was just like very close. It's very strange stuff. So so far, I mean, you've, you haven't had any visuals, but you've had stuff happening right in your face, which is just so interesting. And the wet popping sound, I'm trying to think, I don't know if I've had that actually come up in other sightings.
Starting point is 00:36:07 It made me actually go back and do research into Bigfoot more, because I was like, all right, I'm just going to start, like, researching more about it and seeing what, you know, if I can match any of my experience up with whatever, you know, their research is or whatever research is out there. And I actually found this guy had some recordings on a tape of, you know, Sasquatch, Bigfoot recordings, the sound. And I found the wet popping sounds in there. And he called it chatter. Like, they're chattering back and forth between each other. Oh, okay. And that's how they communicate.
Starting point is 00:36:45 It's a communication. They're chattering. And they mimic birds was another thing I found out. And also, like, they mimic other animals. They mimic birds, sounds. You know, obviously they're going to be able to do that because that's their habitat they're in. Yeah, absolutely. So it sounds like you found the Sierra sounds by Ron Moorhead that were recorded down in California.
Starting point is 00:37:11 is, are those sounds? Yeah, yeah, I did find that, but there was another one. I can't remember like the name of the person that had it or anything. And I know it wasn't the Sierra sounds, but I have seen or I have heard the Sierra Central, which is absolutely insane. But I'm from California. So I also grew up in the Sierra Nevada's hiking with my dad through the woods, and I have never experienced anything, even down there.
Starting point is 00:37:41 and where he's taking me and staying in the woods, my like camping, I just, I never experienced anything like what I've experienced up here, which is kind of strange. But he said he has seen Bigfoot before one time. And I believe him because he's a hunter. So I just believe,
Starting point is 00:38:01 you know, that he did see it. And he said it scared him enough to grab his gun and go to other way. And I was like, I believe you then because, you know, you're a big guy, you're in the woods, your whole life, like, yeah. So for something to scare him, I believe. And I've always just, you know, I'm very open to the supernatural or whatever, paranormal, any of it, UFOs. Like, I'm just very open to every, religion, not religious, like, just spirituality. And I'm just very open to that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Absolutely. Absolutely. So some people that would experience something like this, they would never go in the woods again, but you actually started going on a road to try to figure out what was going on out there, it sounds like. Yeah, yeah. So when I researched some things and I just started matching things up was it was mostly the wet popping sounds. I wanted to know what that was or if I could find anything. like that. And then when I did, I was just like, wow, so this kind of makes sense. It's kind of adding up. It's going together, which I wasn't like unsurprised or I wasn't surprised, you know. I, um, yeah. Um, there, oh, there was some something about the birds, um, and coffee. I've heard stories about like, um, people leaving like coffee like they like coffee and they like just silly things like they like sponge bob and just really funny things so i don't necessarily feel threatened that they want to hurt people but also i'm like
Starting point is 00:39:51 i feel like people should just be aware that it is very possible for them to be out there and that we should respect you know their habitat and just be mindful of what is out there and that there is other things out there. Absolutely. I mean, and the state at Oregon and this area you've been talking about is so many weird things that have happened over the years. And I mean, I myself personally have heard the bird mimicry in a big foot area, just out, well, area of Oak Ridge, I'll say.
Starting point is 00:40:30 And it really is weird. It is weird as all get out. So, this is 2021. Did you continue to go out and do camping trips even after all this? So another weird thing is when I got back from that particular trip, the 2021, and it was about, I remember the day and everything because it was super warm. It was like September 2nd and it was hot. had a big, giant red strawberry moon. So everything was lit up outside like strawberry red. It was pretty crazy. And I worked at a titanium company. So I had to go to work super early. And I was
Starting point is 00:41:19 getting ready for work. And this is a residential area. I live in Rhode Albany. So it's a residential area. And then it kind of goes into the woods a little bit, not woods, but it's more country. But I had my bathroom window open and I was getting ready for work and I just heard this blood-curdling roar. Like I've never heard anything like this before my life and it sounded so angry and so mad. I can't even explain the sound that I was hearing. It was just so deep in just like a roar. And I mean it made my like whole, I was like, you know, know, I'm sorry to say, I was sitting on the toilet and I was just like shaking. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:42:08 what the? You know, like, I didn't expect to hear that from my bathroom at all. Especially after their experiences that I had, I just was very scared. And I was like, no way we're in, you know, there's a residential area right here. There's no way. There's stuff like that right out there. But I believe it came across. from the street or the road because there's kind of a field over there and it makes sense that the sky was so lit up so to me it makes sense that there could be some kind of hunting going on or following you know how the animals are really active during that time so that's kind of what made me think that it was just a really active time for them.
Starting point is 00:43:09 Hmm. That is wild. Yeah, right outside my home. I heard it. Did anyone else in, did anyone else hear it as well? That's the thing is that it was, it was like two in the morning. So I, for my family, no one else heard it. because everybody was asleep.
Starting point is 00:43:36 And I just happened to have, like, my bathroom window open. So the way I heard it, it kind of echoed. It echoed from, like, across the street because, like I said, there's a big, like, farmhouse and filled across the street. And it's just like, that's just where it sounded like it came from. And it just like, but it was very loud. And I just kind of wouldn't doubt it either. Some wild, wild stuff that you've been experiencing over the years.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Has this affected things at home as well? Do weird things start happening at home after you start to have these experiences? I've always kind of had just like spiritual experiences and stuff. So, yeah, I would say it just because I think maybe because I'm just really open to, I think just kind of everything could possibly exist. And, you know, I don't want to, I don't know, it just, it doesn't seem, it doesn't bother me that I, yeah, I think they're real. I think it all exists. And especially experiencing stuff, it's, it's just proof to me. It's, I don't need any more proof.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Like, I'm like, no, dude. But yeah, and I don't really think my experiences are going to stop. I think if I go out into the woods more, it's just going to continue to happen. There was another time also I was hiking with a friend at the South Lucky Moot Park in North Albany. And we just went for a walk. It's like a big giant loop. I don't know how far it is or anything. But at that time, it was summertime, so it was pretty warm.
Starting point is 00:45:29 and the grass in this field had not been cut. So it was like taller than us. So anything could be out in that grass. Big animals, you wouldn't even know that they were out there, honestly, because the grass was so tall. So we were walking around the grass and then it started to get really thick in certain areas. And I was telling her just about my experiences, actually. So I was out there talking about it. And then we started here like tree knocking.
Starting point is 00:45:58 And I was like, oh, goodness. was like, oh my gosh. She's like, did you hear that? I'm like, yeah. And so, you know, we're kind of walking, talking about it. And we like turn this like bin. And I had the smell hit me in the face. Like I can't explain it other than it smelled like a big wet dog.
Starting point is 00:46:20 But it wasn't stinky. It was like a mossy, oaky smell like a fresh clean mossy oaky smell. But it was like wet fur, hot. wet fur. It was a live smell. It wasn't like dead or disgusting or anything gross. It was like just kind of, you know, it didn't have a gross smell. But the way it was, it just treat me out so bad that it felt like it was right there on the trail almost, but right next to the trail. But it's the way that smell hit me in the face. And then I was like, oh gosh, they're out here too. And then and then we started hearing more tree knocking
Starting point is 00:46:59 after that and I was like and then she pulled a gun out and I didn't know she had a gun and I was like she's like yeah for stuff like this we're just walking around experiencing that that is some really really interesting
Starting point is 00:47:18 encounters that you've had just just wild wild stuff do you have any thoughts about what it is that Or I guess what Bigfoot is out there? Do you have any thoughts about that? I believe and think that they are their own thing for sure.
Starting point is 00:47:42 I don't really think that we have any kind of relation to them. We might have some possible similarities, maybe, you know, like the hands and like, I don't know, just some things. but I don't know what they are. I do think that they are dimensional beings for some reason. It's just what I gather. And even from research, when I went and researched some of it,
Starting point is 00:48:17 there was this lady, a story of this lady, what was this guy who came across this lady in an old house or something? And I don't know, it's really weird. I don't know the area of where, they were, anything like that. I don't, it was so long ago, but anyhow,
Starting point is 00:48:36 supposedly she was like caring for them in her house and they were destroying her house. And she said that this is what she told the guy is that they were getting too big to be in the house. So she would put them outside and they would help her feed her horses and all this stuff and help her
Starting point is 00:48:55 with things that she couldn't do around her farm. and she would feed them. And then she said, once they got too big, the spaceships would come and get them. And ever since I heard that, I just was like, oh my gosh,
Starting point is 00:49:08 I kind of believe it. That's wild. This is one of your friends telling you this? No, it was a story I found online somewhere or something. It was just a story, but it kind of made sense to me just because it's just so weird and how they would get so big.
Starting point is 00:49:28 and then where it brought the UFOs in, like to, it just kind of makes sense to me that if they get too big here, that they come and take them away. I don't know. And maybe that makes sense why we don't find their bodies and stuff like that. But in the story, she said that she put a TV out in her garden and she put SpongeBob on. And this is where the SpongeBob thing comes from,
Starting point is 00:49:57 is that they would sit and watch. SpongeBob and they love SpongeBob so much. And yeah, she cared for them, I guess. So I don't know. I have heard of this one. That's a wild one. Would you ever want to have an actual sighting yourself? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:20 I mean, I probably would just definitely tell me for sure that they exist. But I also now I don't really question that they exist. because of what I've experienced. So, I mean, it might be a little scary. I don't know. Absolutely. It's definitely a thing where I think you would want to, it's just something you have to be prepared.
Starting point is 00:50:52 I haven't even had it happen myself, but from what I've heard, And if you're ready to have it happen and you make that known, that can help out a lot. Right. I've heard that a few times. As of like wanting to go into the woods searching for them, I don't really feel like I need to do that. I feel like they will just come to me. But as of, I don't know, trying to communicate with them, I'm not really sure.
Starting point is 00:51:26 or I don't know. I just don't know if they're friendly or not. And that's, I think, my biggest concern. But I, in a way, I feel like they're really curious about us because of the behavior that went on with my daughter, me and my daughter, when that happened. I mean, it was pushing in on the side of the tent, like, very slow. It wasn't like a scary, and there was no scary, like, growling or anything like that. and it just seemed very more curious.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Sure. But when she punched that thing and it flew back, I just kind of was like in awe because I couldn't, for one, believe that she punched it and then it flew back and hit the grounds. And then I'm thinking, did I just watch my daughter like punch big foot through the side of our tents and it fell and hit the ground? I mean, that's got to make you kind of proud as a parent. It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Anonymous.
Starting point is 00:52:32 I just want to say thank you for coming on for sharing what you've experienced. Some really, really intense stuff. And I want to make sure that you were able to share everything that you had come to the show with tonight. Yes. Yeah. Oh, my other thing I want to put out there is like, like I said, coffee. So like, yeah, I think if you want to attract them is to have, you know, maybe some trinkets, something that's not going to be like poisonous or anything like that, maybe more natural. I don't know. I'm sure they like fruit and apples and, you know, all that good stuff. So, but yeah, I think just gifting them things and acknowledging them. and I really just think that maybe they're here to help the planet,
Starting point is 00:53:20 maybe even us. I'm not really sure, but, and it's just very startling for us to experience because we're like, it's not normal. Yeah, I think you might be on the right track there. But, you know, if you ever have any questions or if you have other things happen, feel free to reach out. We would love to hear any future things or experiences that you come
Starting point is 00:53:47 across out there in Oregon. Okay, definitely. Thank you. Yes, I'm going to be getting up with you soon here about some accounts over here in this area, and I want to try to get my neighbor rounded up. He actually spotted this creature, and what spurred me to want to do this, I just have a listen to the story from about a year ago from the deputy up in, retired deputy up in Ash County, Chris Miller, was listening to his account.
Starting point is 00:54:25 And I don't think he saw the creature. I've not. I've seen the footprints, but my neighbor saw the creature. And I'm going to try to get him rounded up for you and make an interesting episode. If you can just hear his account, I may speak a little bit on it too, but I'm going to try to get his permission. If I can, I'm just going to get him to give me an accurate detail of his account, and I'll give it to you.
Starting point is 00:54:47 To sort of back up what Mr. Chris Miller told. you. These things do exist. They're here in western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, and so are some other cryptids. My son just across state line over in Rome Mountain, Tennessee. He saw a cryptid look like a hyena mixed with a wolf or something. I don't know. It's weirdest-looking thing. There's pictures of such a creature on the internet. But anyway, we'll try to fill you in some more details here soon when I get a little more savvy with the internet. I've got to have help. I'm one of these people very poor with internet, so I'll be
