And we're able to set him up to come on the show and to share those. But Dusty, thank you for reaching out and how's it going today? Pretty good. Pretty good.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Thanks for having me. Absolutely. You know, I think we have quite the road to cover. And this is going to be a conversation that I'll be, I'll be talking through as well. Sometimes we have episodes like that, which is awesome. I enjoy when we have a conversation back and forth. But Dusty, I'm going to let you go ahead and take the reins for the beginning and take us back to when you first started having some interactions with Bigfoot.
Starting point is 00:03:25 All right. Well, I have... I always had some weird happenings. We had camped around the Michelle State Forest area. When I was younger, we used to do a lot of camping trips and stuff. And one of the places we would camp at was Hosak Run, which is actually in Caledonia, part of the state forest right off the Appalachian Trail. And our family would always get like the secluded area, like way back in the edge of the campground,
Starting point is 00:03:59 part of the forest area like more um we would always have i would always find myself having like strange happenings like little weird noises and stuff at night while everybody else is you know tucked away sleeping or what have you um you know i'd just be sitting at the campfire and stuff and uh sometimes we would have like pebbles thrown like little tiny rocks and stuff um And I'd be like, is that my cousin's playing tricks on me? And then I'd be like, oh, they're sleeping. So it wasn't that at all. So I didn't really, I grew up and heard stories.
Starting point is 00:04:43 And, you know, watch out for the hide behinds. And, you know, the creatures in the forest, you know, don't go, don't go whistling in the forest and stuff like that. don't go by yourself, always let people know where you're at, stuff like that. And I guess a lot of that was for, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:05 abductions and stuff too, not necessarily for Bigfoot, but any kind of abductions. There's some weirdos out there. But I always made a joke. About 2010, 2011-ish, I had moved up to that area. And I had,
Starting point is 00:05:27 like a four-acre lot that was tucked up against the corner of the woods, and all that woods that wasn't mine was all state forest. When I had moved up there, the very first time I went up into those woods, actually, is when I had a encounter, like an actual sighting. It was very weird. I just went up, you know, we just moved in. I was like, I'm going to go check the lay of the land. I had one son already, and my fiancé at the time was pregnant with my second son.
Starting point is 00:06:11 And I've always been into hunting and fishing, always been outdoorsy. I grew up on a farm. So I went up, and I'm looking at trails, looking for signs, for deer, and whatever kind of wildlife may have been. up there. And I noticed that a little bit after my property line into the woods there's like an old logging road.
Starting point is 00:06:37 So I was like, oh, check this out. You know, I'm walking a little bit and then walking around it, found all kinds of deer trit, deer signs, scat, footprints, even some buck rubs.
Starting point is 00:06:54 I was like, oh, nice. I moved into a nice hot spot. I guess nobody really hunted up here before. And as I'm walking around checking stuff, I just happened to look up. And I saw something. I'm like, what the heck is this? This was like 40, 50 yards away,
Starting point is 00:07:15 straight ahead of me. It was this, I feel it was like an adolescent Sasquatch. it felt like it was like a teenager by its appearance. It didn't look like it was old. It looked young.
Starting point is 00:07:34 It was by itself. And it was doing this weird like hide behind, like crouched down behind a fallen tree and a tree stump and was like looking up and around, up and over, up and over. like you could see from its chest up and it would crouch like stayed crouching but it would like peer up and look around and I'm like what the heck so I guess it was like as surprised as me to see somebody up there um and I was like what is that that's not a bear we don't have bears that color it was like I said it was like an all-brosey it was like an all-brose in like a reddish brown.
Starting point is 00:08:26 And I was like, this is weird. So I'm like looking around, like scanning the whole area. And I'm like, there's nobody out here but me. So as I'm scanning, I look up at in its direction again, and it was closer. Now, this time it was behind a big tree that was standing. and it was like 30 feet closer. And I'm like, what the heck? Like, I didn't even hear it move, but it's closer.
Starting point is 00:09:02 And I'm like thinking in my head, like, what the heck is this? What is going on? Like, I'm freaked out. I'm like, all senses going, adrenaline pumping. And I'm like, and here it's like half of its bodies like sticking out around the tree and kind of like doing this like lean out look and then it would like slowly go back behind the tree and lean back out and the wind was kind of blowing so I noticed it was trying to mimic like how the wind like mimic like it was flowing with the wind and I'm like wow like completely
Starting point is 00:09:43 blown out of my mind but scared at the same time so like I don't have the gun or anything on me. I didn't, I don't even think I had a knife on me at the time. So I start looking around me. I didn't want to like take my eyes off of it too much because of how much distance it had covered in like, probably, it was probably like 45 seconds worth of time, 30 to 45 seconds worth of time. So I'm scanning around me and I see up stick and I look up and here it was even closer again.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Now this time it's like this thing's probably like 25 yards away now. And I'm like I found a big limb that was like a stick that was laying in and it was like still hard. It wasn't rotted or anything. So my instinct was to grab this stick with bend down, grab this stick while looking at it with my right hand. And there was a big tree next to me. So I was just went bang, whack, whack, like three. or four times and raised it up over my head and went, ah,
Starting point is 00:11:02 and yelled. Well, I looked at the tree while I was hitting it. And when I raised up my stick and went, it was gone. Like, all I seen was tree branches wiggling. And I'm like,
Starting point is 00:11:17 what the heck? Like, I was like all but frozen with fear because I never encountered anything like I've witnessed. Black Bears come through to campsite while we're camping, and never got this type of fear ever. And I'm like, where did it go? Like I'm looking, I'm scanning the whole area. Now, mind you, my property is to my back, my house and my yard.
Starting point is 00:11:48 At the top of the hill, my yard woods, like a big hill that went to the wood line. and then the forest began. So I'm like, about, I'd say, 100 feet into the woods when this had happened. And I'm just scanning and looking all over the place. And there's no sign of anything being there except for those tree branches wiggling from where I saw it last. So I got down to the yard. I got out of the woods.
Starting point is 00:12:28 I was like, this can't even be happening. Like, what is going on here? And as I'm walking through the yard into the house, I'm like, I'm never going in the woods without protection again. Like, this was scary. Now, it didn't, it seemed like it was curious, not aggressive or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:12:54 So I went in and my, fiance saw my face and she's like what's up with you and I'm like I don't even know and I went up and grabbed my gun I had a rifle a high caliber rifle that I had grabbed and my pistol and on my pistol and on my pistol belt had a machete so I grabbed put that one I went up in the woods and I was like she's like what are you doing I was like I'm not going in that woods without protection again and do not let the kids play in the woods by themselves. I only had the one son at the time and he was real little, but I was speaking in future reference, expecting to live there for longer than I did.
Starting point is 00:13:44 I ended up just living there for about five years. But I went up, I didn't see any footprints or anything like that. It was kind of like a summer dry time of a year. So the ground was pretty hard. And where it wasn't hard, it was pretty spongy. It's kind of like three different types of terrains up there. You have like rocky mountainous dirt. And then you have like a rainforest type of area, like climate area,
Starting point is 00:14:23 where the ground's real spongy. It's just a tree debris that is rotted into dirt. To walk on it, it sponges and it lifts back up. It's like walking on a sponge, really. So I walked over looking for any kind of signs or whatever. I'm like, well, I see a trail where something had moved through that. and I'm like looking and I'm walking around. But here I'll start following this trail.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Just being curious. I don't know why I decided to do this after this encounter. I guess my mind wouldn't let me let it rest until I've figured something out. So I'm walking and I started finding these other areas where these trees were knocked down. um and they were like laid on top of each other and stuff and there was one that was like it wasn't like they were like all uprooted some of them were snapped about two feet up from the base and they were like like criss-crossed and laying on top of each other and i'm like hmm and this one it was broke about four foot up from the ground and i now this
Starting point is 00:15:55 This one was probably about, I'd say the width of a large coffee can. And I'm like, this is weird. I don't see any other trees in the area, except for right in this little area where they'd fallen down. So I'm looking around and stuff, and maybe I can find some hair or something. I didn't end up finding any hair, but I did find stuff. where like something ran over some of these trees and knocked the bark off. It was like fresh bark knocked off.
Starting point is 00:16:40 And so I'm looking around that area. And something just, this weird noise happened. And then I heard another noise that was a little bit to the right of me, like I had a diagonal, but up higher into the ridges. And I was like, this sounds like something's communicating.

And that's when I was like, maybe that was the parents trying to word me off and scare me off from chasing their young one. So I was up there for about an hour, hour and a half at the most. The trail went cold. I felt and all this stuff happening.
Starting point is 00:20:50 And I was like, all right, I think it's time to just head back to the house. But I never went in those woods again without at least a slug gun or a pistol and a slug gun. Even if I was cutting firewood, I wouldn't go up in those woods without anything. There was times where I was up cutting firewood in the snow, standing dead and stuff, cutting. to roll. I cut it in lengths of like 8, 10 feet and throw them up on my shoulder and walk them to the edge of the woodline.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Boop, boom, roll them down the hill into a pile. And then that was that instance. Do you mind if I ask some questions real quick about what you just shared? Go ahead. Cool. Go ahead. Are you able to explain
Starting point is 00:21:54 or you know you mentioned it was a weird some weird noises that you you heard can you describe like what kind of noise it sounded like or it sounded like like a weird bird but it didn't sound like a bird
Starting point is 00:22:17 like it sounded like something trying to sound like a bird but you could tell it wasn't a bird and you could tell a difference in between the pitches and the tones of being different ones. Like, I guess it was like the mother and the father, I'm assuming. I'm not 100% sure. But I feel like that's what it was. Now, it didn't, it kind of sounded like a weird bird. Just like a, like if some kid was trying, but an adult, like didn't know how to make a crow sound, but trying to make a crow sound.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Yeah, that makes sense. Was it similar to any birds that you would have in the area? No. I mean, there's plenty of crows around, but it wasn't a crow, you know. It's like, I don't know. It's kind of hard to explain, really. Also, I heard, like, rust, like, stuff moving way off in the distance, something big. Like, it was almost like it was trying to head me off, but stay its own distance at the same time.
Starting point is 00:23:46 So, yeah, and then after it got real silent, and it felt like the trail went cold, that's when I headed back down. When you had a view of it as it was starting to get, you know, closer to you, do you remember what color hair it had on it? Yeah, it was like a reddish brown. More red than brown. And it was real skinny and slender. And it was bigger than a person. Like, I'm 5-11.
Starting point is 00:24:27 And this thing, it looked like it was like seven foot tall or more. Judging from the branches, because I checked out when I walked up there, I was like taking reference of the branches where it was standing near. And I'm like, these branches are like seven foot high off the ground. And they were right near its headline. And I'm like, this isn't a person in a suit or anything. Nobody playing tricks on me, hey, let's mess with the new neighbor. nothing like that.
Starting point is 00:25:01 But the face, it looked young. Because you could see its face. Even at that distance, you could see its face. Like, it kind of looked like a man, but it didn't. And the height and the color of it, I was like, well, nobody would be using a gilly suit like that to even be up in the woods because it wouldn't really blend into anything. There's no dead pine trees around.
Starting point is 00:25:28 you know like that would be the only instance where somebody would try and use that coloration on a gilly suit or anything and it was built like muscular build but slendered now that's why I think it was it was as curious as I was but maybe a little more curious absolutely do you remember any certain details about the face that stood out out you had said that there were parts of it that that didn't look like a man or a human. Do you remember what parts specifically made you think you're looking at something else? Yeah, it was like a leathered, like texture, but like an ash gray like coloration to it. But it looked weathered like, for reference, if someone.
Starting point is 00:26:33 works out in the sun a lot, how their face gets leather, like worn looking to get extra wrinkles and stuff in their face. Like a, it looked like that. But, um,
Starting point is 00:26:47 it was gray, like ash gray. And it had a weird nose. Like I call it like a spaded nose or like a shovel shaped nose. It was kind of flatter. than a normal like a bridge of a nose.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Like I had a bridge, but it was the nostrils were flared more, like flatter and it was like flared more. That's really interesting. Was there hair on the face at all? No, not. The face was completely bare. The hair was around it, all around it. And the fingers, the fingers didn't have a lot of hair on them neither. I noticed that.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Because while it was like at the tree, you could see its hand on the side of the tree as it was like swaying in and out from behind the tree trying to mimic the branches swaying in the wind and stuff. But then it was doing it offbeat from the wind as well. And that's what really made me catch on to it the first time because it was like at a stump that was probably about waist height. and then there's like it was all rotty and stuff so it kind of blended in with that coloration but the fact that it was moving is what called my eye as i was out scouting so that's that's what when i looked up and i saw it peek up and around while it was still crouched it was kind of like hunkering down and then peeking up and around and hunkering down and i never saw it like stand up stand up i just saw it moot like i saw it at one position and then i scanned around
Starting point is 00:28:43 looked at side yeah i looked from around me from left to right and back again and then when i came back to pinpoint back onto it again that's when i noticed it was closer during the time that you were able to get a look at it did you notice it had any emotion to its face at all? Yeah, it was surprised. And then it got to a point where when it was behind the tree standing, it was, you could tell it had like a curious look on his face,
Starting point is 00:29:25 like, what is going? What is, what are they doing? Does he see me? Does he, he's looking at me? Does he see me? Like, kind of like a, puzzled look, puzzled and curious at the same time.
Starting point is 00:29:44 And then when I grabbed the stick, I kept my eyes on it when I grabbed the stick. I bent down and grabbed it. And it like, had like an expression like, whoa, what's he doing now? You know, like,
Starting point is 00:30:00 yeah, those were the only couple of expressions that I had noticed. Was this the only interaction that you had with whatever was in the backwoods behind your house? No, no. There was times where I was out hunting, and I did a lot of ground hunting because with it being part of the forest and stuff, I didn't really know at that time. I was pretty young in my early year 20. at that time.
Starting point is 00:30:39 And I was like, I didn't really know what the laws were. Like, if I could put a tree stand up or anything, with it being like state forest or whatnot. So I was doing a lot more ground hunting. So I would follow trails and then find spots like waltz
Starting point is 00:30:57 or nice outcroppings to tuck into and sit. Sometimes there's like a whole thick rhododendron mountain laurel forest part aspect to it that's like another climate of it um you get into that and it's real thick like but you see deer trails and stuff where it's like tunnels so you're getting down and like crawling through these tunnels and then there was a point where i was doing that and then it was like a space in there where it was like it blew my mind i was like something's been bedding down in here but it doesn't look like deer like Deer could have been in there, but I didn't really see any sign of deer.
Starting point is 00:31:42 I did find, before I crawled in through some of those tunnels, I did find some scat. And I just thought it off as like a buck scat. Because bucks, a difference between a bucks and a doze poop, a buck, it'll be pellets, but it'll be clumped in like shape of a turd. but this was in that shape, but it wasn't real pellety. And the deer, they poop more scattered pellets. And the young ones will as well, too.
Starting point is 00:32:24 So I was like, huh, they must have ate something wet or something. It didn't really form into pellets. It just kind of came out like a turd. And then I'm like thinking to myself, well, usually if they eat something wet and it makes them found or they usually get the runs. instead of cooping anything solid at all. So I was kind of puzzled by that. But while I was in that, like matted down area inside there,
Starting point is 00:32:50 I call it a clearing, but it was still enclosed above me, like a canopy. So it was kind of like a cave inside this word of dendroforest. And I could hear stuff outside. And I'm like, oh, maybe I kicked some deer up. So I scurried on out, but I never saw any deer running. And all the noise I ever heard was always out at a distance, at a distance, at least 20, 30 feet distant in the thick of the cover, behind cover. That was my first mountain house.
Starting point is 00:33:34 I had another mountain house up in that area as well. That one I was at a lot longer. And I had a lot of strange stuff going on there. I had, see, I had a four-acre lot there with natural spring streams and runoff streams that would come down. And my house was kind of like in the corner of like a little field. And the rest was like all the forest and wooded. I had four acres or four and a half acres, and what wasn't mine was all the state forest again.

Starting point is 00:37:39 I had some stuff. I would get corn from a farmer at work, and I would put out in piles on the off-season. I wouldn't bait deer to hunt over to pile or anything like that. I fed the squirrels and the turkeys, because I like teaching my sons about the stuff, too. I figured I'd pass on the legacy
Starting point is 00:38:06 like my father had to me, when we were young Gettysburg is pretty close to that area and where we grew up. So when we were young, we would get in like camouflage and grow out to the battlefield because nobody would be able to hunt out on the battlefield
Starting point is 00:38:25 and that would be kind of like our training for hunting as we would get all cammoed out and see how close we could get to the herds of deer before they would get alerted and get spooked and run off. and it was actually something my dad did when he was younger too with my papy so he kind of passed it on to us and you know it was like training in a sense so there was times where some of the corn it would be shelled corn but there'd still be some
Starting point is 00:38:58 that would still have like chunks of corn cob or some cobs still there um and there would be you've noticed it disappearing and I'd go up put some out and then wait a week or two and then go up and check it again and
Starting point is 00:39:16 all right that's gone I'll put some more out so after about a year and a half or so of doing this one time I put corn out
Starting point is 00:39:29 and I went up two days later because it was right behind there was like a clearing behind my burn my fire pit I had like a 10 foot stone fire pit that I made and we would have bonfires there and on the front half of it or the front
Starting point is 00:39:42 third like if you were to there was 10 foot around in the front third of it I would use for cooking I would I work with woods so I was like heck I work with all kinds of hard woods and stuff this is awesome I can just cook on
Starting point is 00:39:59 the pit actually I would cook on that pit even when it was snow out sometimes. I had a pathway shuttle up there. I loved cooking on that thing. So I went up like two days later, and all the corn was gone.
Starting point is 00:40:16 And it wasn't like no like little kernels remnants laying behind or nothing. It was like something, like ate it all and swept the area clean. It was all fresh dirt, like fresh, fresh. You could smell the fresh dirt. I'm like, what's the heck? So I was like, well, I got another, I got the other half of this bag. I'm going to go down and throw it out. So I did that.
Starting point is 00:40:41 And this time I took a couple little tree limbs, like little twigly limbs and just like laid it on top the corn, thinking like maybe this will slow them down a little bit or something. So I went up on the weekend, like a Saturday. and the little twiggly things were gone completely. It wasn't like it was just set off to the side or drug away or anything like that. I'm like, what the heck's going on here? The squirrels ain't doing this and the turkeys aren't doing this. I can't really see the deer grabbing the tree limbs and putting them back into a brush pile or something.
Starting point is 00:41:29 So I just went about my way. kept doing it and then eventually I would put two corn cobs on top now I just like lay them side by side and just set them on top of my all right let's see what happens here after about the fifth or sixth time of replenishing this after it's been completely dusted away like there wasn't even any like dust left over from the corn or anything. It was weird. So I came back and all the corn was
Starting point is 00:42:11 I left it go for like two weeks and I come back and all the corn was gone even the cobs and I'm like man he's saying they must be having a rough year if they're that hungry they're eating the cobs too
Starting point is 00:42:29 so I filled it again on the two week mark and then I put bigger limbs where it was like I'd say about inch long at where they broke off of the tree and stacked like a little bit of a brush like on top of it thinking maybe it'll last a little longer. So I went back up three days later and these limbs were literally like thrown. Like you can see where it was like thrown and then stuff like someone would like dig in to the, dirt a little bit where the heavy end was.
Starting point is 00:43:15 The base, I guess, you would call it. And I'm like, what the heck is going on? This is freaking weird. So I'm like, all right, you know what? I'm going to give them two weeks off. See how they like that. Maybe they'll appreciate it a little more or something.
Starting point is 00:43:33 You know, just thinking stupid stuff to myself. Because it was getting a little expensive. I was getting a bag of corn from the farmer. It was like 50 pounds for, like eight bucks at the time. And I came back after the, I didn't naturally go back after two weeks that time. I went back three weeks later.
Starting point is 00:43:56 And there was two corn cubs placed in an X in the bear spot. And now mind you, when I left, the last time there was nothing there whatsoever. And the limbs were laying it like stabbed into the dirt 20 feet away from where I stuck. them 10, 20 feet away from the rest of them. Somewhere ever closer, somewhere farther. But there's like something walked over and just, like, if I were to walk up to it and be like, huh,
Starting point is 00:44:25 and just reach down and chuck the limbs off to the side just to get to corn and like, I'm like, what the heck's going on here? This ain't squirrels. Squirrel might be carrying a lot of this stuff back and hiding it or putting it in their nest. But they're not going to put these corn, these two corn cobs here in the middle. like an X I was like something
Starting point is 00:44:51 I'm thinking back to my other encounters and I'm like they're literally asking me for more in my mind seeing this you know what I mean like what does that in nature a bear's not going to do that a deer's not going to do that
Starting point is 00:45:12 and I'm pretty sure a squirrel's not going to do that either so I filled about I had like a camp a Boy Scouts like a knapsack backpack like a canvas backpack and that's what I was feeding them with
Starting point is 00:45:32 I would fill it up and they would hold about 15 pound of corn and I'd carry it up and I'd stick it dumped it out so I dumped it out I put the two corn
Starting point is 00:45:45 Cobbs back on top like an X again and laid a big limb on top of it. Now, this is like a 20-foot limb that had branches coming off of the limb itself and everything. I went up eight days later. The limb was tossed the side again. This time the big part, the bottom or the base part of it was stuck up in a tree limb. and the twigley parts was down into this fallen tree that was back behind that, a fallen hemlock tree that came down in a storm about a year beforehand. And all the corn was gone again, but those two corn cobs were stuck back in that spot,
Starting point is 00:46:41 that bare spot, fresh soil shelling and an X. and I'm like, get out of here. No way. Like, I can't even tell people about this. They're not going to do this. There's no way this is happening right now. So that went on for a good while. Pretty much until I got tired of this,
Starting point is 00:47:08 having corn disappear in a very fast amount of time. I had gotten some chickens from my dad. before he had gotten sick. So I ended up with like, I had a couple myself, and then I got all of his. So I ended up with like 13 hens that were all laying chickens, egg laying chickens. And so I was like, well, I need to spend money on chicken feed now instead of feeding the wildlife. So I went on with that and kind of gave that part up. But I would have some weird stuff happening to me while.
Starting point is 00:47:47 was up hunting too. There was one time when I've got to before I get into the hunting things was about half a year a year so
Starting point is 00:48:08 not quite half a year but not quite a year after I've gotten the chickens for some reason my dog would go to the wall that was in between facing the chicken coop.
Starting point is 00:48:33 It was a shed that I turned into a chicken coop and had a run and fenced out around it and everything. Made a laying box for them and everything so that you could go out. And I would let them wild range, free range feed on bugs and stuff. I got a lot more eggs from them that way.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Nice big ones too. Extra proteins. and stuff. This was at like 1230 at night. My dog went to that wall, hair standing up, growling, head down like she was pointing, but in like defensive mood. And I was trying to call her over. Callie, come here, come here. She wouldn't come and respond to me. at one point she looked at me out of the side of her eye and went right like stayed growling
Starting point is 00:49:30 and she didn't bark but she growled like a like a vicious growl and I was like I never heard her do that before my life she used to be like a century guard to my kids when they were babies like nobody would be able to go near to Bassinette
Starting point is 00:49:47 but me of the mother but she never made that kind of noise. She would just, but she was viciously growling at the wall. And I'm like, what the heck? So I'm like, I wonder if there's a bear out there. So I go, I grab my gun out of the closet. I had a closet down in the one room at the bottom of the steps.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Then it had a gun safe in there. So I grabbed my gun out. I walked out the back door, which was actually, ironically, the door that we used, the front door was kind of sealed off. So we just used that, and there was a pathway in between the house and that shed.
Starting point is 00:50:34 So I got my light, I got my gun, I'm looking, scanning the yard, scanning the chicken crew. Chickens weren't even really, like, making any noise or anything. What the heck's going on here? I would mix the feed in like a steel trash can with a lid.
Starting point is 00:50:57 I would get like three different types of bags of stuff, corn, pellets, and birds, wild bird seed. And I'd mix that up and that's what I fed my chickens. I'm like, well, nothing messed with the can or nothing. The lid still wouldn't. So I went back in. And eventually I got her to calm down. But it took about an hour and a half for her to actually, like, stand down.
Starting point is 00:51:30 And when she did, she was like snort and like, like, she was frustrated. She would have sensed what I was sensing. She was irritated with me and whatever was out there at the same time. She would kind of do that little routine. and that just that was another thing that just such fucking odd and I didn't see any signs nothing was really messed with um I don't know if like they heard her and was like being curious what but uh yeah so then there was times where I'd be out hunting and I would hear that I hear a weird bird sound again this time it was like something trying to mimic a turtine to the point where it sounded mechanical, like a rusty barn hinge door, like kind of sound. Well, I'm out hunting. Dusty, sorry.
Starting point is 00:52:38 I apologize real quick. Are you saying that the turkey call sounded rusty or it was a completely different sound than the turkey call? Yeah, it sounded like somebody was, it sounded like I knew there was turkeys up there because I'd have them come through my yard and I'd have them across the road from me. You could see them.

Starting point is 00:56:16 Tom's and all these hens and the jakes walking around and stuff. I've dealt with, I've hunted turkeys and encounter turkeys. Heck, we used to raise them on the farm and release them. But it wasn't, it sounded like something trying to make a turkey call. It sounded mechanical, like a metal rusty barn hinge instead of the actual, like turkey. turkey call. And it wasn't like somebody was out, some novice hunter was out there trying to make turkey sounds.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Because I'm like, well, who's hunting turkeys in deer season? Like, you don't do that. But, yeah, it was, it sounded literally like, after it got closer and stuff, it sounded literally like somebody was taking a rusty barn door and opening up and the hinges was like, and I'm like, what the heck is this? Going on.
Starting point is 00:57:14 And in the woods would get silent. Like, you wouldn't hear no insects. You wouldn't hear no, like, no squirrel activity anymore. No crows calling nothing. No birds. Nothing. It was complete dead silence. Like, and I'm like, whoa.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Now, the only time I've ever noticed, just it gets silent in the woods is, A, when I'm walking to my tree stand, if I'm too loud, or if I have my kids with me, and they're walking louder than I do, until after you get settled, after about a half hour, activity will pick back up again and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:58:00 But it was nearly dead silence. And it never got real close. it always stayed off like 40 yards away 40 50 yards away that sound that was the closest that ever got but you would hear it a ways away like over on the other writ like uh kind of like rolling up through there it would like you'd have like a ridge line and then it would plateau a little bit and then it would have another ridge line up up like a climb to another top and then flatten out for a while and then it would raise up again. That's how it is up through there
Starting point is 00:58:44 on that area. And there's a bunch of old log words over there too. From back in the early 1900s and stuff when they were logging out of there. I've actually found old log foundations from like camps
Starting point is 00:59:03 where they would have like a supply camp or like a rest camp or whatever for their workers and stuff like that. maybe like a mess hall type deal. Just the old foundations where it would be like four logs stacked high all the way around. And then I guess they would put like their canvas canopy up, like a canvas pavilion type thing or enclosed tent, what have you. So, but yeah, there would be other times where I'd be up there would be other times where I'd be up there.
Starting point is 00:59:42 they're hunting. And, you know, I hear squirrels drop down. You can tell, like, I've been hunting all my life, been out in the wilderness all my life, even when I wasn't hunting, just hiking. I love taking in nature, exploring. I love exploring. That's my, that's my nature. And there'd be times where, like, you could hear squirrels run around.
Starting point is 01:00:09 I'd be watching them and stuff. and it would sound like something coming in either it'd be in front of me or beside me or behind me and then all activity would stop again
Starting point is 01:00:26 what's going on here I know there's some black bears around the area they're pretty scarce and they don't really they don't really come around during the daytime too much especially near residential areas they usually wait till the cover of darkness to go and knock over people's bird feeders and eat all that up and stuff like that. I actually had one bear that I'd chased out of my chicken shed coop area.
Starting point is 01:00:57 And that was like sniffing around my feed can. I call it a feed can trash can that I had with a lid that had my feed stored in. I'd come in from work and bear would go running up through the yard. and into the woods. That happened like once or twice, but that was more after my dog got older and wasn't going out quite as much. I guess they sensed, hey, this dog's not out and about,
Starting point is 01:01:28 not as active around here. So let's go see what we can see type of deal. But, yeah, so I'll play that stuff off a little bit. one time my kids were at my boys were out side playing um and they're about eight and ten maybe a give or take a year maybe a little younger and i was outside doing stuff splitting wood for a fire pit and cleaning out the chicken coop and stuff and i come back out and they're up in the trees climbed up real high higher than I ever seen them climb
Starting point is 01:02:19 they never really even climbed trees really they were adventurous but they never really climbed trees like that and I didn't see them at first I was nervous I was like hollering for him and my oldest boy is like up here and kind of like chuckled and laughed I'm like oh what are you doing up there dude and he's like well where to go
Starting point is 01:02:46 I'm like, who? And he's like, the gorilla man. I'm like, what? He's like, yeah. He told us how to climb the tree. So we did it. And I'm like, what are you talking about, dude? Like, what?
Starting point is 01:03:03 Like, so I'm like, well, come down. And they're like, oh, we're having fun. So I'm like, well, just be careful. Make sure you don't like step on any small branches. Make sure you test them first before you put your weight on. them and always have three points of contact. And he's like, I know. I went back to like doing my thing, but always looking about at the same time, like,
Starting point is 01:03:28 Leary, like the gorilla man, did they see something like I seen years ago? Like, I've never heard them say this before. Like, this was odd. This was strange. I've never heard them say anything like that again. or before. So I kind of asked them, I was like, well, what did it look like? And they're like, I don't know, like a gorilla man.
Starting point is 01:04:00 And I'm like, are you messing with me? And they're like, no, he was over in the woods. And I was like, what the heck? So I was like, all right, when they got them in, I was like, well, come on down. It's about time for dinner. So I got them inside. And I pulled their mother aside. And I'm like, look.

Starting point is 01:07:25 if you're not tending to the chickens or something like that. Because I didn't want them to get snatched up or anything. I don't even know what I would do if something like that happened with my kid. That's my kid, you know what I mean? Did she also ever have a sighting that you're aware of? not that I'm aware of but I think the boys had something else happen because there was times where like they would ride their bikes down the hill of the yard and they would ride it around the house and then go back up to up by the fire pit and that was like their little syndicate loop or whatever. And there was a couple times where I was like, oh, they're just out riding their bikes. They're cool.
Starting point is 01:08:25 And she was like, she had this weird expression on her face that I've never really seen her have before. And she was like, I'll go out and sit with them. Okay. But not that she'd ever like conveyed to me or relayed to me that she ever had any kind of experience or anything. she never really went into the woods too much unless i was like hey come check this out like i did show that to her when that corn pile stuff was going on and she was just like big-eyed looking at me like what the heck are you talking about dude what am i looking at like she she well i don't know if she was grasping it or if she was surprised or what like
Starting point is 01:09:13 but no she never really had anything like that happened but there was a couple times there was one time in particular after you walk into the opening out by my fire pit into the woods it was like an opening and it was like kind of clear
Starting point is 01:09:40 but still had some older tall trees now these trees are at least 60 70 foot tall big old trees. I mean, big around as a dresser. There was one right near this stream bed bank
Starting point is 01:09:57 where my artesian well was. And it had like a little cubbyhole in the root system there. And it was like a little shelf bank that I could actually sit there. And I would hunt there sometimes if I didn't feel like if I didn't feel like doing a lot
Starting point is 01:10:13 of walking and I noticed that nobody like none of the kids were out. playing up that way too much or whatever I just would be like I'll just sit out here for a couple hours see if there any deer come mosing down through the trails well I noticed there was this one tree and there's a network of trails I would straight across from where I sat and this thing was about the size of a in between a two-liter and a one-liter bottle of soda in a diameter.
Starting point is 01:10:49 And I had seen it while I was walking trails one day. I would walk trails and go up around and explore and stuff. And while I did this little big loop, I went up and found the walled road and followed the walled road down and then found the other stream that fed the other side of my yard. And I was like, I followed the stream. And then I came to this firm patch. there was a big clearing with ferns growing in it
Starting point is 01:11:18 there was kind of like soggy, mushy, spongy type ground there but there was like a clearing in the canopy where the sun came through and I guess it was perfect for those ferns.
Starting point is 01:11:34 I mean there's about a half an acre of just ferns there. This is pretty cool. So I kept following that because I knew that was where a stream bed was to apologize about my dog
Starting point is 01:11:52 but yeah. So I walked on the trail and I came as soon as I came through where it got thick again and then it was like a little more open for us like hardwoods and maybe some henlocks there's a lot of oaks a lot of white oaks up there
Starting point is 01:12:14 white and red oaks actually a lot of poplar trees too and I found it right beside where this trail comes out of that thick spot there was this tree
Starting point is 01:12:33 that was about like I said about the size of a in between a two liter and a one liter bottle of soda now I have my machete with me and I'm like I can see where I sit from here and I've seen deer coming in and out of here before. So I just took my
Starting point is 01:12:49 machete in about shoulder height knocked the bark off a little bit facing where I sit so I can use that as like all right there's a nice white I call them I used to do tree service with my cousin. He's a licensed arborist and
Starting point is 01:13:06 where you cut a limb off or whatever we would call it white eyes white eyes on the tree because it's usually white fresh wood there. So I scum the bark off about the size of a cigarette pack or a cell phone, a standard today's size. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

Starting point is 01:16:36 chop some of the bark off, scrape it off like. And two weeks later, I went up, did the same loop around again because I would walk that style syndicate-like, if you will,
Starting point is 01:16:54 quite regularly. And actually, it's funny because they're, at the top of the, hill up there. Right before you get to the log road, there is this rock, that rock outcropping.
Starting point is 01:17:12 And it comes up and sticks off the side of the hill to a point. Kind of like, have you ever seen the Lion King when when Marikiki takes baby Simba and holds him up for all the animals to see or whatever?
Starting point is 01:17:29 Oh, yeah, like pride of rock. Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was kind of like that. Well, me and my sons called it Haller Rock. That's where the Howlers go to Hal at night. That was our little inside thing, you know. And when you're standing at the top of it, you're like in the middle of the trees that are downhill from you.
Starting point is 01:17:55 You're up there. If you look down, you're a good like 20 feet off the ground, but because it's a slope, it becomes higher than everything else to a point. So we called it Haller Rock. Getting back to that tree. So I walked that syndicate again, and I came over, because there's a bunch of intersecting networks of trails, game trails, where the deer, and it was like some highways, man, like,
Starting point is 01:18:34 constantly used. Like you see where dough and their fongs would go, where the bucks would go, all kinds of rubs and stuff. Here and there, different bucks would have different scrapes and rubs all in this big area that I walked.
Starting point is 01:18:54 So I came out of that firm patch and into that thick spot again. And as soon as I got through and I looked over, that tree was literally, if I were to take and stick my arm out at a diagonal upward that snapped over
Starting point is 01:19:14 opposite way of where the wind always blows coming up that up through that little like ravine area and it was still like connected and attached and I'm like I just got this sense like if it was like a saskatch it was like what i didn't do this how about that you know like type of thing like i made it mad like marking my tree on my trail what are you doing type
Starting point is 01:19:51 thing like i'll show you is what i got it like i got a sense of immediately when i seen because I'm like, what would do this? I'm not going to be able to snap something like that. And I'm a pretty active, pretty physically fit guy. I mean, I'm not trying to say I'm a he man or a muscle man or nothing like that. But I mean, I get paid to lift things up and put them down and all day long pretty much. You know what I mean? I do construction.
Starting point is 01:20:25 And I actually do custom woodworking for the past 15 years or something. so um more but i was it just blew my mind and it stayed like that for the longest time and where it was broken out it wasn't wouldn't be like if i were to be able to like would be able to snap that tree like that it was it's higher than my head so i was like what the heck so a little bit uphill from there there's times where where I was hunting in a tree stand. And I would hear stuff like movement, heavy movement, but never see anything coming up.
Starting point is 01:21:21 And it would always stop right before, right where it got thick again. Like it'd be a little bit open, but still tree, like still forest, but it wouldn't be as thick in spots. It'd be big open, like open spots with a lot of trees, forestry, like hardwoods, and then it would get into like brushy type thick, thicket areas
Starting point is 01:21:46 and stuff like that. One time, I was just scouting around with my scope, and I called movement. So I panned back over to it out of my other eyes, so I pan back over to it. And it literally looked like there was a face looking at me. And I like put my head away from the scopes. I'm like, what the heck? Shuck my head a little bit, probably, I don't know, rub my eyes, something like that.
Starting point is 01:22:17 Look back through. I'm like, well, I see a tree stump there. That was my reference before. But I don't see anything now. And then I'd start scanning around again. I call it movement again. I looked over and I kind of thought I saw a face again. that gray
Starting point is 01:22:42 like leathery type face but in the brush like just where like peeking through like a hole in the brush like type of thing really
Starting point is 01:22:55 really had me feeling weird and I was like okay now either my eyes were playing tricks on me because I've been sitting out here for a couple hours where I'm actually seeing this
Starting point is 01:23:07 I think I'm actually seeing this because of everything else that has happened leading up to this point so far in my life, you know. And there was some other times where I had like some mineral trace salts I had put by a stream on like a board by a root system. And I had seen big and dense in the spongy soil where you couldn't really like if I were to try and plaster cast. something. It wouldn't come up as anything because of how spongy everything. And it's like I said, a lot of that soil, it's not really dirt. It's just decomposed tree debris, you know, leaf fall and needles or falling off and stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:24:01 But there would be times where stuff would get moved and then I wouldn't be able to find it. And then I'd come back and stuff would be back where it was. There'd be times where I had sat in places on a tree stump hunting, like while it was ground hunting walking around. And then I'd sit and take a rest for a little while. And then when I went back out again or just to go out scouting, there'd be like a rock sitting on that tree stump. I'm like, what the heck?
Starting point is 01:24:39 I wasn't there when I sat there. I didn't put it there. What's going on here? how big a rock would it be i would say like the size of uh like the rocks you would build a house with like oh wow yeah yeah yeah like some something somebody would put in their stone stone wall or their chimney or something like that and it would be like it would still have like some muscle on the one side of it or something so it wasn't like it was completely cleaned off but then there was other times where I would go out there
Starting point is 01:25:15 and there'd be like stuff drug across areas where like it was trying to off the over the trails like something was trying to funnel stuff funnel these trails into one bottleneck type thing
Starting point is 01:25:33 and I was like well that's pretty odd too like nothing but a human or a sask watch is going to do something like that there's nobody hunts up here besides me and I had a neighbor his son-in-law would hunt but he wasn't he wasn't like a traditional hunter he went straight to his stand or his little ground blind pop-up ground blind that he had near his stand area but he didn't go out like normal times like I'd already be out there hunting for hours and then here it'd be like 8.30 9 o'clock and he had to be like 8.30 9 o'clock and he'd be like 8. here he's bebopping through the woods louder than a bear like stomping through the woods great stepping on every stick he could find it seemed like I'm like wait dude what are you doing just coming out here and mess up my hunting why'd you even come out here dude uh but uh yeah there'd be times where because he would be wearing a lot of orange instead of just like a traditional hat or
Starting point is 01:26:39 something like that uh but he would always stay close to the uh there'd be Route 30 that comes up through there. It's a two-lane highway. That comes up through the mountain, P.A. Route 30. And that goes from close to us. It'll go from Gettysburg to Chambersburg and farther each direction. Like, you can go all the way to York with it,
Starting point is 01:27:11 which is the opposite way of Gettysburg or through Gettysburg. You can go all the way to. heck um what's it called Collinsville or whatever that's way past past Chambersburg into the other mountains and stuff
Starting point is 01:27:31 oh but yeah I'd see him sometimes he'd be ever twisting and stretching and stretching and stuff and I'm like out of his ground blind I'm like what the heck is this this guy much of a hunter He didn't learn how to hunt like I did
Starting point is 01:27:51 You know that type of thing You don't want to move when you're hunting Unless you're ground hunting Then you walk a little bit Even if you're ground hunting You walk a few paces Like a few feet like maybe 10, 20 feet and you stop
Starting point is 01:28:05 Because You can walk right past the deer If it's bedding down in some thick brush It'll let you walk past it But when you stop The deer will get nervous And be like I'll shoot it.
Starting point is 01:28:17 me and he'll jump up and run. Like if you just keep walking, even if you're doing a slow pace, you can walk right past the deer and you wouldn't even know it unless you've seen it wiggle its white tail or something like that or snorted or something.
Starting point is 01:28:35 Is that a guy you ever talk to? I did talk to him a couple of times. It's kind of an odd fella. he was a bigger fellow too he did say he didn't mention some things like I guess that I guess he was kind of scared because I asked I was like oh yeah I seen you had to stand here behind
Starting point is 01:29:02 your father-in-law's house he's like well I don't really use that one too much I use it every once in a while I put it out there more for him and my wife he's like I go over that way and he like points out to where like towards where I used to hunt but he would always stay close to the road. And I'm like, well, you're not going to have that much activity out by that way. But he's like, because I was like, what do you have much activity out being that close to the road? He goes, yeah, there's quite a bit of activity.
Starting point is 01:29:35 He's like, but he made a comment the one time. He was like, you don't want to go too deep in there. You really don't. And the way he said it, and the way his facial expression, was while he was shaking his head and looking at me. I'm like, maybe this guy saw something, or maybe he saw a bear,
Starting point is 01:29:54 you know, maybe he saw something happen out there or whatever. That spooked him to where he was, stayed close to the road so he wouldn't get, well, I thought he just didn't want to get lost or something too, you know. But, yeah,
Starting point is 01:30:12 the way he did say that, now if I think about it, and you asked, he did say to make that comment in the way his facial expressions were he may have he may have seen something but just didn't like relay it like that um I was trying to say something without saying something it sounds like he something something affected him for sure have you ever talked to any of the neighbors around your area um right across the road was a bar in restaurant and yeah I would I was kind of standoffish about talking about it there for a while
Starting point is 01:30:54 but then you know after a while you're like hanging around like I would work over there too cooking and stuff and then like I'd get off around 10 and stuff like you know there's a couple people I was cool with mountain men type fellows and stuff like that yeah they'd been there for a couple hours so I'm like oh maybe I can ask them something here and there get a real response out of them but uh There's a couple of people. They kind of just like played it off. Like, yeah, whatever, dude, there ain't nothing out there. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

I never seen anything but there was like one or two people that were like uh yeah you you always want to let somebody know where you're going you know make sure you got like a GPS or something on you or you're fed and that was like all they would say they wouldn't they wouldn't like elaborate anymore um yeah that was about the most i got out of anybody over there now i used to work in chambersburg at a
Starting point is 01:35:07 warehouse and I would stop at the rudder's gas station that was there at the 997 light that was a fairly new one they built it was bigger than the other ones at one point it actually had one of them automated car washes I think they got rid of that I'm not quite sure it's been a while since I've been up there I haven't lived up there in my five years and I ran it I was getting my coffee one morning and there was a ranger a couple rangers in there and one ranger he was kind of younger or whatever
Starting point is 01:35:45 and uh you know nodded to him like hey what's up you know and like after about like the third time seeing him I was like hey so what did you work at and he told me he was like right in between me and
Starting point is 01:36:01 Caledonia at that ranger outpost and I was like oh okay I was like, yeah, I go through, I'll go by there a lot. I was like, you guys, what do you do? He's like, well, I usually go up and make sure all the service roads are accessible and, you know, there's no fallen trees and stuff like that, kind of like a lot of maintenance type stuff.
Starting point is 01:36:25 We go out and check things out. If we get reports of like animals and stuff like that, And I'm like, oh, yeah? And he's like, yeah. And he's like, have you ever had any reports of Bigfoot? And he was like stirring his coffee. I was really talking. He's putting his stirring his cream and sugar in.
Starting point is 01:36:56 And he kind of just like stopped stirring and like fish eyed me, like looked out of the side of his eye at me. And he was like, oh, no, I don't really answer the phones much. and kind of like just went about stirring his coffee slowly. I was like, oh, I'm okay, man. I was just wondering, you ever see anything strange up there while you're out there in the mountains? He's like, oh, well, what isn't strange?
Starting point is 01:37:25 You know what I mean? I was like, oh, okay. So I guess he's like, you hear a lot of accounts where like Rangers will like see or hear things or whatnot. but they don't really comment on it until like years after they retired and stuff. I don't know if it's like some kind of vow of silence they got to take on that stuff or what. I think there's a NDA involved, to be honest.
Starting point is 01:37:55 Yeah, yeah, something, something, which I could sense by the way he reacted. Like he was like, dude, you're going to make me lie to you, like type of reaction. And like, no, I never seen nothing in my life, you know, it's like a little bit of, that was a little Q&A I got with him. And then, you know, I kind of just like didn't want it to be too awkward. So I'm like, so what all kind of schooling's involved to become, to get into this kind of work and stuff? Because I was actually interested in doing it,
Starting point is 01:38:33 especially in that area after all this. I was like, man, I could do this every day. like just go out and scout around and see what I can find, you know, see what's up. There's a lot of gated access roads up there, too, that, like, there was one right down from my house in between me and Caledonia and between me and the Ranger post. And they would only have it open, like, certain months out of the year. But it would take you, this is called a. Piney Mountain Creek Road.
Starting point is 01:39:16 And it'll take you all the way out to, like, Schippensburg Road almost, like, out, out by the lakes and stuff, out past the lakes and stuff. But it would tie in a couple other, like, it was like a, like a gravelly dirtstone road type thing. And they would have throughout, there was, like, a certain time of year, there was, like, an annual, like, an indoor motorcycle ride that they would do and they would ride up 30 and go up
Starting point is 01:39:51 through that gated road and go through some of the other connecting roads like a big syndicate type ride thing. That was I never got into that. I've rode in motorcycles
Starting point is 01:40:07 pretty much on my life too. More dirt bikes than now I'm older. more street bikes, Harleys and stuff. Never, I always wanted to, I've rid on that road before, but not in that group or whatever. So I used to ride up and there would be a big, big, uh, get up to the top at the one spot where it levels off up to one of the highest points. It plateaus and there's like big industrial, high attention power lines coming down through.
Starting point is 01:40:39 And I used to love going up there and sitting underneath there and looking up through there and looking down at the bottom of the mountain down towards down towards Fayetteville and just take it in like I said I always love nature even if I wasn't hunting man I'd love to go up in the woods
Starting point is 01:40:57 and just watch the ferns wake up in the morning like because they curl up and close up and stuff during night and then you go up there and then the sun starts hitting on and they start waking up and just opening up it's just something awesome to see like it
Starting point is 01:41:12 That's my thing. I just love nature. Always have. And ever since I had my encounters and experiences, it's something I really, really got into. I did have another instance that happened while I was hunting a couple of times. I would go up and I'd be up in my tree stand. And it only happened when I was in my tree stand.
Starting point is 01:41:44 never happened when I was ground hunting but I'd be up there and it sounded like I thought my kids because when I was in my tree stand my house was down the slope to my and back of me behind me
Starting point is 01:42:05 and where my tree stand was was only about 200 yards up into the forest so sound carries and stuff up in that up and through there um even with the road with the road's not always real noisy it's only when it's high volume traffic and i was a little ways away from the road too like you could hear it but not really it wasn't like loud or deafening you're not inconvenient inconvenient i stayed farther from the road than that neighbor guy did um
Starting point is 01:42:43 And it sounded like my kids playing down in where the opening was to come into the woods, like where I would put the corn and stuff. And then I would go down after I was done hunting. And it was weird because the forest would get really silent. No swirls moving, no birds flying, nothing. And it sounded like my kids were down there playing. and it would last for about five, ten minutes and I'd be like looking,
Starting point is 01:43:19 seeing if I could see my kids down there, seeing if they were coming up, see if they wanted to come up in the tree stand or something. I was looking down and didn't see no kids, but I heard them. And then after a while, you would hear like heavy footsteps, bipedal footsteps in the brush. But it was always behind me or off to my side
Starting point is 01:43:43 where I couldn't see anything because it was thicker. And I'm like, I'd go down after hunting, and I'd be like, were the kids out at all today? And I'm going, no, I let the dog out earlier, but and I let her back in, but that was it. I was like, the kids didn't go feed the chickens or nothing like that. No, they've been in here watching TV and playing the video games. and I'm like, that's weird
Starting point is 01:44:17 because there's no other kids around me and there's definitely no kids in between my tree stand. Like there's nothing in between the tree stand in my house besides the forest. And I've heard now that I've been watching these other podcasts, yours and some other people's podcasts,
Starting point is 01:44:38 I've heard of that. Like the natives would even say about it. like, uh, you know, if you hear children in the forest, don't go try and find them.
Starting point is 01:44:53 That's the, that's the, that's the hairy man trying to lure you in or whatever. Um, but yeah, that happened about four or five times while I was up in that tree stand.
Starting point is 01:45:04 Oh, not at the same time, but like different instances. And it, it would always be like around noon, one, 1.30.
Starting point is 01:45:13 Like in between noon, in between 11.30 and 1.30. It would be when it would happen. And there would be, like I said, no, nothing. And sometimes afterwards, you would hear like a crow, an actual crow. And you can see it flying. And then all of a sudden it would sound like there is like a murder of crows flying, but it sounded a little off, but it sounded like a murder of crows.
Starting point is 01:45:45 But you didn't see a bunch of crows flying around. you'd see one or two flying around, circling, just gliding, and catching the wind drifts and gliding and stuff, resting their wings. And I'm like, what the heck? Like, this is kind of freaking. Now, I guess we could say, I saved the best for last.
Starting point is 01:46:13 There was a time where I was hunting, me and my boys built a ground blind. And there was like an old rotted tree stump. It looked like somebody actually, like, cut this tree down but never retrieved it and it just laid there for a while but then other trees had uh fallen around it and they kind of like intersected at one point but uh so it was like half rotty with some moss on it on the tree and the stump and then the other trees were more fresh and they kind of intersected and went out like a like a if it was like a
Starting point is 01:46:50 V with the mouth of a V at the tree stump. So I was with my son. I'm like, hey, here's a little thing we're going to do here. I'm going to teach you something. You see this here? He's like, yeah, I was like, we're going to turn that into a ground blind. It's going to be like a little cubbyhole. We can hide in and nothing will see us, but we can see everything that comes through
Starting point is 01:47:14 down through these trails. And they're like an intersection of these highway-type trains. A lot of activity, multiple trails. And so we built it. We used it for a while. I used it a lot. I actually preferred there other than my tree stand because it was less road noise and also it was more deeper in the forest.
Starting point is 01:47:48 It was kind of like in between my tree stand and the fern patch too. I could see that, all that area. And I've had Buck walk past me and my buddy while we were squirrel hunting right on a church. We were sitting on one of them logs at one point. And we just stopped the sitting, smoke and chatting. This is Buck come walking up the trail sniffing for a doe. He was on a doze trail. It seemed, and we were squirrel hunting, so I didn't.
Starting point is 01:48:18 I raised up like I was going to, and he was like, are you? want to do that? And I'm like, no. I was like, because karma, man. If I were to shoot that buck, that might be the last buck I ever shoot in my life. He was like the way you think, you know. And he used to be a hunting guy out in Montana. So he was kind of getting nervous. Like, dude, I don't want to see you.
Starting point is 01:48:41 I don't want to witness you do some illegal trade type thing. But, so I was sitting there one time. and I'm guessing it was around 132 o'clock I started hearing heavy football from behind me where it's really thick at and it was getting closer next thing you know I started smelling the smell like a musky
Starting point is 01:49:18 type kind of like a wet doll and skunk cabbage-type smell. Oh, Mike. That was the first thing that popped in my mind. I'm on skunk cabbage.

Starting point is 01:52:32 Find your shade of Instant Eraser Concealer at your local retailer Mabelene, New York I've that grown around here that I've noticed but I'm like well, it might be something back farther in where there's
Starting point is 01:53:00 more streams or you know, soggy areas in the valley parts in between the ridges so maybe this is the big buck coming up because I've seen a big buck that
Starting point is 01:53:14 year before and didn't get a shot on that one but I got one that was coming in behind it it was a little bit smaller it was like he was teaching that one what to do but every time that buck would stop he would stop behind the big tree
Starting point is 01:53:30 it couldn't get a shot on him all I could see is his antlers and his nose when he would look around and stuff and his tail his back conscious and his tail that he knew what he was doing they don't get big by being stupid you know I called him
Starting point is 01:53:43 to grand down daddy buck. So I'm like, all right, maybe the granddaddy's coming up on me. And then I noticed everything was silent. And I'm like, oh, that's weird. Like, I don't even hear any birds or nothing. Okay. I had this real static feeling.
Starting point is 01:54:09 Like, every hair on my body was standing up static. Like, static. Like, you rub the balloon and held it over you. but like magnified times 10. It felt like even my toe hairs were standing up. And I heard this big thud, like, boom, bump, like two steps, stomp steps right behind. Now, mind you, there's this tree stump about the size of a dresser that I'm leaning up against with these tree limbs over top, these logs that I'm tucked in.
Starting point is 01:54:49 so I got my rifle up in my arm up on my shoulder pointed down to the ground so it doesn't make any glare or shine or anything hoping this buck would walk up in front of me or beside me or something and once I heard that pump-pun I'm like what the heck thinking to myself and that's when I had the mind speak happen and I'm telling me you, I didn't really notice catch on to what it was at first. I thought I was just like ADHD and thinking off to myself, but I'm like, then I realized, I'm like, I'm hunting and this is something walking up to me. Like, I wouldn't be doing that because it was like I was asking myself questions and answering them, but in my voice and in another voice. so then it starts getting into what are you doing but it wasn't my voice asking the question
Starting point is 01:56:03 my voice answering so the voice I can kind of replicate it but not completely because it was weird it was kind of like if somebody had like a like a stiff jaw but like a like a drawn out high and low whiny voice at the same time.
Starting point is 01:56:31 How? Why are you on now? I'm like hunting. What are you doing that for? To feed my family. Why? What did I tell? I'm like,
Starting point is 01:56:48 what the heck's going on here? So by this time, I'm like kind of freaking out at the same time. And I thought to myself, I'm like, should I be this scared? And then it answered me in that voice. Not really, should you? So at that time, I'm putting my hand on my pistol that I got in between,
Starting point is 01:57:18 like I have a cross-straw holster, for in the front. I shoot a pistol with my left hand. So I have a crawl-straw holster, to host the pistols on my right side, but I had it slung across where it was like kind of on my lap. I had my handle on the handle of it and my thumb on the trigger on the on the hammer. It's a revolver and here it goes. Well, why are you all that?
Starting point is 01:57:52 I'm like, uh, it's for protection. I hope I don't have to protect myself thinking like I'm not speaking out loud. I'm thinking this. and it went on and asked me a few other questions. It's hard to remember some of it. Sometimes it comes back to me, like just spur out of the middle of nowhere, like something will pop in my head,
Starting point is 01:58:18 like something triggers like a flashback or something. And so it asked me a couple things like what I was doing. why was I there was I the one cleaning leaving the food and I asked it if it had a family and it said yeah
Starting point is 01:58:46 I'm hunting too and I was like thinking to myself I hope you're not hunting me and it even asked me because I thought to myself I said were you the one I seen before and it said no but he was with them
Starting point is 01:59:06 and I'm like what the heck so then I got into asking it with my mind why can't I see you and it replied that
Starting point is 01:59:30 I could if it felt safe enough and then it asked me why I wanted to see it and what my intentions were and I said, I just want to know if I'm going crazy and it said no
Starting point is 01:59:48 and then I said, I have no intention on harming you or your family. I'm just here hunting for my family like you do for yours. And then I asked it if it would be upset if I
Starting point is 02:00:10 had how did I say it? If I were to expose it meaning like if I were to report it and like bringing people out there or whatever and it replied
Starting point is 02:00:32 we sense your intention but we can't sense others intentions unless they're here and if they were ill intentioned they would not respond or reveal or something like that. And then I'm like, okay, well, I didn't mean to press.
Starting point is 02:00:57 I just, and I didn't mean to intrude. I just, I'm here feeding my family like you. And all of a sudden, it was like I said something wrong or something at one point, right when it stopped. And I heard this, like if some big guy, Now, think of the biggest dude with the deepest voice, like, bigger and stronger than Andre the Giant, were to make a sound like, whoa. But it was so guttural and deep and reverbericating all at the same time.
Starting point is 02:01:50 Like, every cell in my body was vibrating. and like it felt like literally like every cell in my body was vibrating like electric and vibration
Starting point is 02:02:07 all at the same time to where I couldn't even move and I heard and I couldn't move like I wanted to turn around and look through the little peak hole behind me where I had a little view hole
Starting point is 02:02:20 but I couldn't move I couldn't even take my hand handoff like I couldn't if I wanted to I don't even think I could have cocked the hammerback on that pistol like I could not move for literally like a minute and a half maybe two minutes and then I it's like my ears started like I started hearing like a humming crickets humming crickets as all these cells are vibrating and then it's like it's it was like that was what it cut off. It cut off and went away. Like, that was its way of doing that. So, after about a minute and a half, two minutes, I finally was able to, like, look around. And I was like, what the heck? Was that real? Did that just happen? Did I have a dream? Did I fall asleep out here and have this as a dream? Like, what was this? What did this really just happen?
Starting point is 02:03:27 So I looked around, couldn't see nothing. I leaned back and just kind of like took some deep breaths, tried to control my breathing and my heart rate a little bit because it was speeding at this time. And I was breathing pretty heavy. And finally, I sat there for about another like five, ten minutes, got my bearings, like got my, composed myself. And all of a sudden I was like,
Starting point is 02:04:05 like, you know, I don't think anything's going to come through here now. I think it's time to go home before I piss somebody off. Or do you feel like, doesn't feel like I'm overstepped the boundary or something. So I got up and crawled out of the, I crawled out of the little cubby blind thing. I looked around. I didn't stood up and I was like looking. Now, you could see where there was like leaves. leaves rustled up as like something came in and left like turned around and went back out
Starting point is 02:04:42 because you could see where like leaves were standing up this was during like the fall time fall and the fall winter you could see where the leaves were like disturbed they were you know tufted up from a disturbance of some sort going right into that thick spot which was just a little hill from where that tree got snapped that I knocked that bark off of. And I was like, okay. So that was pretty wild. Then that was that. Do you feel that when it made the noise at the end,
Starting point is 02:05:31 did you hear that inside your mind or was that out in the other? Oh, no, that was out. That was outright in the open. That's wild. Whoa. Yeah. A roar and a, and a woe all at the same time. Like if a gorilla and a lion and the biggest dude you ever met with the deepest voice made this sound all at the same time. There was something else with a vibration in there.
Starting point is 02:06:03 It was wild. it I literally like I said I was paralyzed like it felt like every cell in my body was vibrating it felt like my toenails were vibrating like this reverberated vibration like like my every cell in my body was a tuning fork vibrating is what it felt like it was unreal completely unreal I'm never never in my life And I've worked around loud noises, been at concerts right by the amplifiers. Like, that doesn't even touch what I felt like. You know how like if you're around heavy music or heavy bass and stuff, you can feel bass in your chest and stuff like. This was completely on a whole other level from that. That was that times a thousand where every cell in my body was vibrating. My hairs on my arms and my...
Starting point is 02:07:05 Every hair on my body was standing up, vibrating it felt like, too. Like my skin was vibrant. Like, it was wild, man. Yeah, that was definitely something, you can't ever forget something like that. And I don't even think other than having another experience like that, you could even replicate it.

Starting point is 02:10:20 Mabelene, New York. Yeah, it almost sounds like you were involved with almost like an infrasound experience. I mean, just the fact you couldn't move and vibration and just very, very interesting. Yeah, it was, it was very long. and I ended up losing my chickens I thought it was like a family of foxes or coyotes taking my chickens because like I said I used to let them free range
Starting point is 02:11:11 and then it got to the point where they would just let their self back in and go up in their roost box and so I would I got working different shifts I was doing different shifts at the time. So it was harder to, I would open up the chicken pen, but others that I lived, like my family that I lived with,
Starting point is 02:11:38 my girl and my kids, they wouldn't always shut the thing. So then I was like, well, you know, screw it. They just come and go as they want now. You know, they're still getting plenty of eggs and they haven't been harmed or anything. Well, then they started, and they didn't really go into the woods. They would go maybe across the little stream into a little bit and rough up some pine needles and scratch around underneath the raspberry bushes and stuff near at the edge. But they didn't really go into the woods.
Starting point is 02:12:11 But then it got to the point where they were kind of like disappearing. And then I would find like just like a bunch of feathers, like something grabbed a hold of a chicken and just like scooped it. up by its neck and went like them you ever see them things for like New Year's as you hold the little peg stick and you like spin it and it clicks
Starting point is 02:12:33 and makes that noise with the mechanism or whatever it was like something like grabbed up a chicken by its neck and went like that and walked off with it and it would just be like a a debris field of plumage like a 10 foot circle
Starting point is 02:12:50 eight foot circle I'm like What the heck? That's a little big extreme for like a coyote or a fox, and usually they grab them and take off with them. You know what I mean? You might find a bunch of feathers, but not like that wide of a debris field. So then I must have startled one
Starting point is 02:13:16 while it was grabbed in my chickens because it left the chicken there. but its neck was broke. But there wasn't no like bite marks. So I was inspecting it. So I'm checking it out. I'm, his neck's broke.
Starting point is 02:13:33 Like the chicken, like the chicken's stiff, but where the neck's broke, you know, got this slinky neck going on. So I'm like, what the heck? There ain't even no bite marks or nothing.
Starting point is 02:13:47 So I'm looking at it. So I had this bright idea of going over to the clearing area. I was like, well, animals are used to me feeding over by this corn spot. So I went over to that clearing area. And in between that and my fire pit, there was like a little thick brushy-like spot. So I put up a camping chair, like one of my umbrella chairs and had me a little set up there. I took that chicken and I cut its neck open and down its breast.
Starting point is 02:14:26 a little bit so that way it would let blood out you know and I hung it up in a tree over in that opening in the woods so I sat there at dark and nothing really happened nothing really happened I started playing some some game calls like distress calls and some coyote calls and stuff like that and nothing really happened and I was just about to give up now I was out there for like two hours about to give up I had this light
Starting point is 02:15:11 I made like a had a flashlight that I put a red lens on so it wouldn't cast a beam but it would it would illuminate an area probably about 15 foot circle that it illuminated with this by this chicken then I heard like this heavy heavy footsteps
Starting point is 02:15:34 but off the distance before I heard the heavy footsteps I heard like some stuff like sound like branches breaking I'm like oh right something's coming like see what's happening in here but it wouldn't come into the light
Starting point is 02:15:54 it would only stay on the outside of the light and it would come it would where the down tree log was and there was some brush that I had cleared out of the clearing and piled up there a while back ago. I came through there and came, I'm going to say that's left of where I'm sitting there looking at this chicken. And I'm looking up the hill and it would go from left to right, right outside the edge of the light.
Starting point is 02:16:33 and you can see eyeshine. Then you could see two eyeshines. And it was about shoulder height to me if I was standing. So it was like something was like creep walking like knees bent like creep walking, trying to like walk back and forth. But then it became two of them. Now the eye shine, I've never seen eyeshine like this before. I've seen deer I shine.
Starting point is 02:17:06 I've seen coyote eye shine. I've seen pretty much every animal up there's eye shine. The only one I haven't seen is probably porcupine, but porcupines aren't that tall. This was like a red amber-colored eye shine. And it would just go from the left. to right or right to left right to left and then when the second one appeared a second one appeared on the left while the other one was all the way on the right and then the one would go away and the other one would come back over this to the left and then stop like halfway and that one would disappear and the one on the far left
Starting point is 02:18:03 would come back again and then the other one would come back and appear far right. So then it was like one was like standing there stationary and ducking away as the other one was like testing the waters like seeing what was going to happen. And I just thought to myself, I'm like hoping maybe I could get that mind speak thing to happen or something, which I'm sure they can sense or after all that, they can definitely sense what's going on.
Starting point is 02:18:42 So I spoke in my head to myself. I'm like, if you're the ones taking my chickens, might as well just go ahead and take it. If it's you, I won't shoot it. But if you don't show me, I'm going to shoot.
Starting point is 02:19:02 So nothing, no mind speak, happened again or nothing like that. But all the crickets and stuff stopped chirping out in the woods, all the insects, you know, frogs, all that stuff got quiet. And the eyes like double blinked and went away. And then I heard heavy footsteps going back up into the mountain. So I'm like, huh, maybe that was their way of saying, hey, we, we've been doing it, but you're holding that gun so we don't trust you to hold that word or whatnot.
Starting point is 02:19:56 But, yeah, I never, I never had that mind speak happen again. At one time was the only time. I mean, that was pretty well. I was going to. The weird thing is that chicken never disappeared. I left that chicken there. That thing hung there for over a month. Really?
Starting point is 02:20:14 Oh, that's weird. Okay. The flies wouldn't even eat it or nothing. It was weird. I was like, what the heck? And I heard weird owl calls. Like, because I used to hoot the owls in. I've done that ever since I was little growing up on the farm.
Starting point is 02:20:30 And I used to love doing it. Like, we would, I would show it to the boys. We'd have them fly from the mountain into right above our campfire. And then it would realize it's us hooting it, and then it would get quiet and just watch us for a little long. You'd see it float down across the road over to the other mountain ridge and stuff, like other woodline and stuff. But, yeah, that was really weird about that chicken.
Starting point is 02:20:58 Nothing touched it. I ended up getting fed up with it, and after about a month or so and cut it down and threw it in the bar, bonfire because I'm like, well, that was a waste.

Starting point is 02:24:05 nothing else will touch it. What's going on here? There's a few other little things like when I was hooting owls and you know, you could tell there was an owl hooting back, but then like off to another directions distance something would try and mimic it
Starting point is 02:24:32 but not sound exactly like it. You tell something was a little long. like a little too deep, a little too fast out of rhythm. But yeah, that's pretty much what I've had go on and what I've experienced and stuff. And this is really like other than after I got warmed up to my soon-to-be wife and stuff, this is, and, you know, my parents and,
Starting point is 02:25:06 maybe like one or two other people this is the first I really like talked about it. It's actually the first I've ever talked about it in depth and with everything all at once. Because I say some stuff and people kind of, oh yeah, whatever. He wants to have been drinking or smoking that night or something like that. You know, I'm like, no, for real.
Starting point is 02:25:30 Like this stuff's for real. What do I have the gain by? making this up you know what i mean exactly and and i thank you for for trusting uh you know this platform enough to to to share uh publicly what you've experienced over the years you've had some really interesting things have happened uh some very intense things um yeah yeah i actually plan to go out there i actually made it as part of my new year's resolution like this year i'm going to get back into going up on that that up into those forest areas and just going out and like doing a little bit of camping and stuff overnight or on the weekend or something just to see what
Starting point is 02:26:18 I can come up with or see because I don't have like new high tech gadgetry or anything like that I'm a working man has got a family that I've been paying for all ever since I was had my my oldest boy 15 years ago. So I got three kids now. So it's not like I can go spend a couple grand on a camera or some fancy
Starting point is 02:26:44 like recorder device or anything like that. I try to look for stuff at auctions and yard sales and stuff. But half the time, that's stuff broken anyway. So somebody outbids you.
Starting point is 02:27:01 Well, Dusty, I would say you know, definitely if you do end up going back out and you know if things do continue to happen definitely keep us in the loop with you know any future things that happen in your life as well but thank you for for sharing tonight and for coming on the show I'm sure
Starting point is 02:27:24 there'll be some people that I'll find some some things they can relate to that are from the area usually that's how it works out and we'll probably see some some interesting offshoots from this one as well. That'd be great. That'd be great. Maybe somebody had some similar instances or something. I'd love to hear those as well. Like, I don't know, ever since the first time when I, that very first time, I've been, like, I've always believed in it to begin with. but once I actually saw something and I was like, like that first sighting, that thing, like, if I were to describe it what it looked like that very first time, have you ever seen the movie Land of the Lost with Will Ferrell in it?
Starting point is 02:28:18 Yeah. I know what you're going to say. Dude, it looked like a seven foot chaka. Oh, man, that's awesome. Like, I swear, like, I was like. And that image, like when I saw it, that immediately snapped into my mind. I was like, what, duh? That's awesome.
Starting point is 02:28:40 Yeah, it was weird. There's definitely like families. They're definitely moving around and like family type things. Just from the senses that I got and from trying to track it down that time and everything, I can definitely say they move in families. They live in families and migrate. I don't know if they necessarily migrate in that area because it's pretty plentiful even in the winter scenarios,
Starting point is 02:29:12 but I've heard about them migrating up and down the Appalachian Trail and following the power line cut-throughs and stuff like that. And those of those are right in that, come right through that national forest. So if they migrate, they migrate. If they just hang out there, who knows, because there's so many outcroppings and stuff where they could find shelter to get through the winter as well. So, yeah, I'd love to get out there and boots on the ground again. Well, Dusty, I have a feeling that you will soon enough.
Starting point is 02:29:50 But I just want to say thank you for coming on the show. and definitely keep us informed with what happens when you are able to get boots on the ground again. Definitely will do. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Thanks for listening.
