Bigfoot Society - I Saw It Just Hours Ago!

Episode Date: October 21, 2024

Join us on the Bigfoot Society podcast as host Jeremiah Byron interviews a hunter from Washington state about a recent, startling encounter deep in the woods. The episode details the hunter's incredible experience of sighting a creature resembling a monkey with feminine features while elk hunting in a remote, thickly wooded area between Abernathy and Germany Creek. The hunter, who has spent countless hours in the wilderness without any unusual sightings, is left shaken and rethinking his approach to outdoor adventures. The encounter, only hours old at the time of recording, is backed by photographic evidence, GPS data, and a detailed account of the circumstances leading up to the sighting.Share your Bigfoot encounter with me here: [e-mail] to call in and leave a voicemail of your encounters for the podcast - Check this out here - https://www.speakpipe.com/bigfootsociety(Use multiple voice mails if needed!)🔴 Subscribe to hear more Bigfoot encounters: https://www.youtube.com/@BigfootSociety?sub_confirmation=1Share this video with a friend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5v75Od-X38Watch more episodes of the Bigfoot Society podcast here – https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3t1vwtsKh-MGeHs0XglFJE5LwUHpmJm_&feature=sharedRecommended Playlist – New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3t1vwtsKh-Mk4032IyZtWgP6LVPU8uat✅ Help me help others share their Bigfoot Encounter by joining the community on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/thebigfootsociety✅ Hear ad-free episodes early by joining the community on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Qq45W6iaTU8FE9kelxT7Q/joinLet’s connect:Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/bigfootsociety/Twitter – https://twitter.com/bigfoot_societyTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@bigfoot.societyAffiliate links mean I earn a commission from qualifying purchases.

Do you, uh, hey this Jeremiah, do you want to be referred to as Josh during this? Yeah.

Okay. Is it okay if I'm recording right now? Absolutely. Perfect. All right. Dude, I mean, this is going to be a whole different thing because usually I put a nice song and dance at the beginning like, hey, here we are. But I'm just going to say, well, dude, tell us what happened.

I mean, tell me what you told me in Messenger just an hour ago. Yeah, yeah. So forgive me. I'm a little rattled still. I guess the thing to know about me is I hunt, like, pretty much all year long. I'm out in the woods. I've always been like a Bigfoot enthusiast, but I wanted to believe, but I've never seen anything to give me any kind of indication that the Sasquash is real.

I mean, I listen to all your shows. I love hearing the stories. I've always been hopeful, but I've never seen anything. And for a guy who spends as many hours as me in the woods hiking around, I just, I haven't seen anything, you know? So I've been El Cunning. I'm muzzleloader El Cunning in Washington State. The season's seven days long.

This is the sixth day of the season. So tomorrow is my last day. I've been averaging about 12 to 14 miles on foot behind Warehazard. to Gates. And today I decided to go into an area I haven't been in about four years. And I hiked in there and it was pretty uneventful. I didn't see any elk. All the elk sign I seen was pretty old. And so I just kind of sat in the clear cut where I had cell phone service and kind of browse the internet and about every five minutes I'd look up and I'd start glass and I glass for about 15 minutes and I kind of go back to my phone.

I really take a lot of time to pick apart everything with my binoculars. I have a Serovsky, 12 by 50, pretty high in optics. So I can see just about everything moving. And this year I decided to buy a thermal. So I also have a thermal so I can kind of catch stuff and then I can look at it through my binos. and I seen a really nice buck walking on the road on the other side of the clear cut and I wanted to get a better look at it because you don't really see a lot of nice bucks around here so the wind was blowing down so I kind of snuck around to the edge of that clear cut

and like I said the wind was blowing pretty strong and I couldn't see the buck anymore he went to the timber and I really wanted to get a better look at him so I pulled up my thermal and I could see him in the timber, and then I put my glass on him, and somewhere in between there I lost sight of him. So I decided, you know, the wind's really strong. He's not going to smell me if I creep in below him. And so I sat there and kind of thought about it for a few minutes. I wasn't really hopeful to see the elk come out.

So I snuck down into the timber, and I started scanning with my pheromone. I wasn't seeing anything. and then I've seen this faint kind of white spot about 100 yards away, but it's pretty thick timber. And I thought, oh, man, that's that buck. So I pull up my binos, and I'm looking. I can't see it. And I pull up my therm, and I'm looking, and I can see it.

And I'm making mental notes like, okay, it's like the third branch up next to this mound. And I'm kind of doing the math in my head to find this thing. and I pick up my thermal and I find it again and I'm really trying to break this apart and grid it and see this buck. And then I see something I never expected to see. The best way I can describe it is it's like a monkey. its face looked like a monkey. If you watch like what is it like,

I can't remember the name of that that movie with the apes on it where they like take over. That's what it looked like. It had a really feminine face, really pronounced lips, had black and gray hair. it was like grooming itself.

I could see, I couldn't tell if it was like groom in its hands or if it was eating something. But that's all I seen was its face and I could see that it was real interested in whatever it was doing. It was putting something in his mouth. I couldn't tell if it was his hand, like I said, like it was grooming itself or if it was eating something. And I just thought, whoa, I can't believe what I'm looking at. right now and you know I sat there for about three minutes watching it and I said you know what I'm gonna back out I do not want this thing to see me and so I just backed out of the timber and this road is a road I had to walk down to get to the trail to hike out to my

truck so I walked all the way around and snuck out and made sure I stayed downwind and snuck through the timber to get probably I probably went a half mile out of my way to get to the trail and then hike back about another mile and a half to the dugout road in the gate where my pickup was and when i got back to my pickup i was completely covered in sweat and shaking and sick to my stomach and i and i've never had anything like that happened to me but on my way out i found a tree in the trail that was snapped in half probably about a six-inch around alder tree and when I was cutting through that clear cut I found a track that was way bigger than my foot and I wore size 14 and I took a photograph of the track end of the tree and I also have my

GPS coordinates that shows my my trail that I made uh tonight when I went on my hunt so that's uh that's about all I got. I'm still pretty in shock. After that, I left the woods, which is unlike me, and I called my best friend. I told them what happened, and we're both just in disbelief on the phone, because I don't ever leave the woods until it's dark. And especially with one more day in my elk season left, you know, about five, six o'clock when the elk start feeding out. And I left at about 4.30, made it back to my truck at about 5.15. So, I mean, it was pretty serious for me to want to leave.

And I don't think I'll ever go back in that spot again. Yeah, that's, I don't know. Like, it wasn't something I ever thought would happen. And I never in my wildest imagination thought it would happen like that if it did happen. you know it just makes me wonder how many times I've been you know miles back in the back country and and walked right by some you know I want to make sure that listeners get that this just happened hours ago today yeah roughly how many hours ago ago it happened around 4, 420, somewhere right around there.

And it's 720 right now. Three hours. So just a few hours ago this happened. Oh, my goodness. And, you know, it's one of those things, you know, every time I talk to somebody who's out in the woods, you know, I ask if they've ever seen anything weird and stuff. You know, the general consensus with the outdoorsman that I hang out with and hunt with that we, none of us have really ever seen anything. And, you know, I think that this thermal imaging unit that I have is going to really make me see a lot of stuff that I've never seen before. And it really makes me wonder what I've walked by and, you know, what I haven't seen.

Because like I said, I usually walk in in the dark with a headlamp, and that's how I walk out. It's in the dark with a headlamp when I'm out there. I know you've shared you shared with me a little bit location-wise is that are you comfortable with sharing location-wise the area or are we keeping that? I am. Okay. So I live in Washington. I hunt on the coast everywhere from about Kath Lammett down to Chinook, Washington. There's tons of timber company gates and I usually hike back up into the cold.

coastal mountain ranges. This particular location was in between Abernathy and Germany Creek. And like I said, I took a cutoff to get me in closer. It's kind of the end of a spur road that they dug out when they, when they abandoned the road to let the timber grow. And so I came in one area to get me closer to another area. kind of just took the abandoned road to get closer to Germany Creek. And so that way I didn't have to walk like six miles up the logging roads to get to the clear cuts I wanted to get to. Instead, I only had to walk like, you know, three miles. So it put me at a pretty good advantage to get back there because the pressure is really

tough right now and there's a lot of people hunting. So I wanted to get as far ahead as everybody else I could get and get away from people. And that's kind of what I was wondering. You know, I don't, I don't know if it's because it's so far back in there. You know, not a lot of people go in there. So I'm kind of thinking that that's kind of why it was so comfortable. I don't think this thing had any idea that I was there. Sure.

Because I was keyed up. I'm in, you know, full solid camouflage, though, more olive drab clothing. I'm playing the wind. And I'm not walking down. gravel or anything. I'm watching every step I take and moving very slow. You know, because I'm trying to sneak up on elk and everything else. So I don't think it'd ever see me. And I wasn't scared in the moment. It always happens right before the whistle. There's a little voice that says,

what if I mess up? What if I'm not ready? I see a whole highlight reel of everything I don't want to happen. Missed shots, turnovers, letting my team down, and for a second, there's doubt. But then, I realize I've done enough to be where I'm at, the early mornings, the extra reps, the days I wanted to quit and didn't. So, I smile. Self-doubt is natural, but my smile is a reminder that I'm resilient. To put more smiles out into the world, Colgate has supported female athletes for over 50 years with the Colgate Women's Games.

They just need dipping. It's saucy season at KFC. with new honey, chili crisp and jalapeno ranch. Get dipping with a boneless bucket today. Prices in participation vary. But as soon as I backed out and I crept up the road and dove into the clear cut and started getting out of there, I started getting weirded out.

I started feeling sick to my stomach. I was like, what if this thing knows that I've seen it or what if there's other ones that seen me that I didn't see, you know. and now they're on to me and, you know, going to follow me out. I felt like I was followed out, but I didn't see anything or hear anything out of the normal. Did you experience any other weird physical effects during that same time where you were feeling sick to your stomach, things like that? Nothing other than heavy sweat, and I wasn't tired. Today's one of those days.

I didn't hike necessarily that far. and towards the end of the season, you know, I'm in pretty good shape. I hike a lot, especially with a heavy pack on. So it was pretty strange to me that I was profusely sweating. But I just kind of chalked that up to like just being kind of nervous and not really knowing what to think. And I think that played into it a lot. But I was definitely very cognitive about everything I was doing to.

to get out of there and taking mental note on which parts of the trail I could be, you know, ambushed on or, you know, what could happen. There's a lot going through my head on that 35 to 45 minute hike out. And I was moving fast. Man. Like I said, my ONX, my GPS data, I'll send you the snapshot of it. And it will not only show you the loop that I took, it will show you how I picked up my speed on the way out. Oh, yeah.

It kind of tells the story a little bit better, too. It kind of adds context. You can kind of see what I did. You know, it shows that I went around a mile and then I sat there for a few hours. Then it shows you when I went over to the other side and crossed into the timber, and then all of a sudden I just got out of it really quick. Yeah, that would be incredible. I mean, I use Onyx for this show all the time just because it's such a great.

I mean, they're not a sponsor, but guys, if you're listening, let's party. I mean, it's such a, and one of the icons you can use an onyx is a big foot icon. Dude, you know they're totally young to it, right? That's what my buddy told me. I had no idea. Yeah. And when I was telling my buddy in the story and I sent him the icon, he said, how could he didn't use the Sasquatch icon? I was like, what?

It's funny. no idea that they had one. But like I said, when I was creeping through that clear cut to get out of there, because I was trying to make sure I stayed out of sight off the road and out of, I didn't want this thing to see me. I happened on that foot track. And I got a picture of it next to my size 14. And I mean, you can see it just plain as day.

And I've never found the footprint. And I'd like to think I'm usually always looking because that's how I get to know the elk and the deer, you know. I'm always looking for rubs and I'm always looking for tracks. Above everything else, I'm an outdoorsman and a woodsman. You know, everything that happened to me tonight has definitely changed the way I think about everything. And it's changed the way I'm going to be moving through the woods. and I mean, I don't know if you're super familiar with the muzzleloader, but it's not the most effective weapon.

No, it's not. I know what you're talking about, yeah, but it is not super effective. And I only had two reloads with me. And for the people listening who don't understand a muzzleloader, you shoot it. It's a primitive weapon. And then you got to, you know, pour your powder in, and you got to put your projectile in, and then you got to put your primer,

and it takes time to load, especially under pressure. And normally I carry a 10-millimeter pistol when I'm with me out in the woods hunting. And, you know, it's just I'm tired. I've been trying to cut down on weight because I've just been out hammering in the mountains. So today I just decided, you know what,

I'm not even going to pack a pistol. I never need one. I'm just going to take my muzzleloader and a couple reloads, and we're just going to go find an elk. and I felt completely unprepared for what I experienced today. And it's going to change the way I recreate in the outdoors. You know, I don't know if they want to hurt people or if they want to intimidate people,

but I don't want to find out, you know. So a few things. I want you to reach out over the next few days. if just if anything out of the ordinary like happens and I'm not going to

I'm just going to leave it at that I mean I would just be curious right now do you have are you okay with with going into the woods again or is it just like that area

probably not going to go there again I'm telling you man I spend all year thinking about this time of the year It's my passion. Everything. It's my entire life besides being a father. It's everything I think about. I have tomorrow left for my tag.

I'm going out in the woods. I'm going to wake up at 3 a.m. I'm going to get out there and I'm hiking somewhere. But I am nervous. And I am not going back to that spot. Right. Not without a few buddies with me and some serious firepower. You know, I might go off there and try to try to

go I know exactly where it was sitting at, where it was standing at, where that area is, and I would really like to get in there and kind of tear apart the topography and kind of get some better understanding and ideas. But at this point right now, I'm not ready to do that. I totally get it. I mean, it's your hunter, you're not a researcher. So, yeah, it totally makes sense, but you have the exact area. So maybe at a later time, you know, you might be able to go back in there if you had some buddies with you. But, yeah, I get it. Wow. I just, I wouldn't want to go in there by myself. No. You know, the places that I go into, Jeremiah, something could happen to you and they might not find you for a long time or not at all. I mean, thick, over. grown old growth timber

with massive holes in the ground and root wads out and cricks and you know it's rough country and I just I can't believe that after all these years it took

till today to see something when I least expected to see anything on an on an otherwise very uneventful day And, you know, I've probably called four or five of my buddies and the first things I said, I said, hey, I'm not crazy and don't repeat this, but I need to tell you what happened to me tonight. Right, right.

And, you know, when you spend a lot of time out in the woods, Jeremiah, like sometimes you spend, you know, 10 hours out in the woods with your buddies picking apart every tree and bush and branch. looking through binoculars and you sit there and you talk you talk about all your hunting stories and all the weird things you have or haven't seen none of us that none of the people i know or talk to or hunt with none of us have ever seen anything like i was just doing a basic search real quick for people that have anyone um saskatch near german creek and something does something does come up but it's it's just from a news article a guy named Paul Graves. He's

gotten like hundreds of reports. That's cool because it does tell us that you're not the only one that has seen a Sasquatch near this area of Longview. And it kind of puts even a little more to your report. So to put this into

perspective for you, Longview is a couple miles from right near Oregon. Yep. I've kind of mentioned, I think I've sent you a Facebook message or something. You had that one gentleman on who had

stories from Rainier, Oregon. Yes. We're just a bridge away. I mean, literally, you can see Rainier from Longview. So that's kind of how I found your show was the Rainier episodes. You know, that

gentleman who lived in Rainier and had some experience as a child or whatever. I mean, it's wild to think about, because perhaps the one that you saw might even be related to the ones in that story somehow. You have no idea, right? No, no clue. Yeah. Oh, man, it's wild.

And nobody talks about it openly. Anything that you hear just kind of old, you know, logger tails and stuff. There's like a stigma behind it almost. So you are going to forward some or send some stuff over to me after this later. Where can I submit to you? I mean, my email is Bigfoot Society at gmail.com if an email is easier for you. Okay.

I was going to, I can send you an on X pen with my loop. Okay. And an onex pin of where it was. And that way you have an exact understanding of where it happened. Oh, awesome. And you kind of see my trail. Yes. And then, like I said, I really want you to see the photograph.

The photographs could be nothing. But on my way out, I've seen that stuff. And I'm like, hey, this is it. This isn't a coincidence. I don't believe in coincidences. And by the time I made it to my pickup and got down the road, I was like, I know exactly who I need to reach out to you. Right.

Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. I don't know if you can send the on-x stuff. through email. I've never tried to do that before, but I'm, I don't know if you have, uh, if you have more knowledge about that, but I've never, I've sent it through text. I've never sent it on an email, but I can try. Oh, you can text it then. Yeah, you have my number right now. Can I text it? Okay. Perfect. That's what I'll do. Okay. Yep. That'll,

but like I said, that's, that's all I got for you, buddy. I'm glad to get to talk to you. I never thought I would, have any reason to call you there but here we are man i hope that you're able to just you know kind of chill out tonight and are you kind of coming off of the adrenaline one yeah i am yeah okay good yeah just kind of chill out a bit um i might do this is just really i've never had one that is this recent um so i'm gonna i might see if i can think of some people in the area. I might message you later if that's all right. Yeah, absolutely. I'll do some thinking about some stuff. But yeah, I'll be looking for your text and I'll check out your stuff you're going to send over. But yeah, wow. Josh, thank you so much for reaching out. Absolutely. No problem at all. It's a pleasure to talk to you.

Wild stuff. So we'll be in contact. You got it. Yeah. Thank you again. I'll be talking to you later, Josh. Yep. All right, I'm back.
