So settle in because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us. All right, pick for society.

You've got the privilege of talking to Mr. Mark Koppel today. Mark is all the way over there in New Zealand. He is a, I guess you could say, a paranormal investigator, but also a lot of his research has kind of gone over into the Bigfoot-related field as well. So some really interesting things to talk about today. Mark, welcome to the show. How are you, friend? Yeah, pretty good. Pretty here raising experience last night.

I almost didn't make it to the interview this morning. So I'm glad to be here. Yeah. Yeah, let's talk about that for a minute because you were just telling me that off air. And literally, I mean, there's, you really should not be here what you just experienced. It was pretty intense. Yeah, I went to my typical area where I go in the wild. Now, cell phone doesn't, doesn't work, you know, in certain parts, it just doesn't work. And so, unless you've got a GPS beacon, you know, signals. satellite to get help, you're going to have to rescue yourself. I fortunately had a knife on me. I was actually going across a zip line that I made across a creek going to this, you know, it was like kind of like a moat this creek. So, you know, I set up a zip

line to go over about, well, about three, four months ago. I went there yesterday and I had this weird feeling like, I don't feel good about this. But, you know, I was on a time crunch. I was trying to get across there before nightfall and I made a big mistake there was too much slack in the rope. Plus I had a big pack on. So I went onto this rope and then I got stuck in the middle. And then I was getting pulled downwards because gravity, my pack's really heavy. I was getting pulled downwards and I couldn't move myself. Plus we've got back issues, which means that my lower back was kind of giving out.

And I was almost passing out and I was hung up there by my. myself. So the only way I could get free, I had this thought, I had a knife in my vest. I had to pull my knife and try to swing myself into a small tree that was close by, otherwise it would have dropped about 20 plus feet. So I quickly cut through this, this, this, this, this, uh, rope that was about 2,000 kilogram, um, load strength on it. So I, I had to cut through and, and I fell until this tree, this other tree fortunately, and so it could have ended up really bad. Oh my goodness, Mark. Yeah, that is extremely lucky that you were able to get through that really with no injury,

it seems. Yeah, just pretty spooked, that's all. You know, just realize you've got to be really careful out there. I'd preferable have someone with you. when you go out in in these areas um you know we we may i know we're going to have to start uh foundationally for myself because i'll say it hey a lot of the people listening are from the u.s when we think in new zealand we're thinking of like laura the rings films like that's what we know about new zealand so when you go out when you're going out to this area where you

almost had this thing happen yesterday how remote were you Well, I mean, it wasn't too far from society, but it wasn't like, you know, being out in the middle of the mountains out of the middle. I mean, it was a remote area, but it wasn't so far. But my cell phone didn't work. So even if I tried to use it, it wouldn't have worked where I was. So I go, this is my research area number two, which I go to where we've had rocks right next to me, sometimes UFOs going over. over the forest canopy moving very fast. A lot of weird stuff has happened, recording very strange voices out there.

I've been really wanting answers to what I've experienced in the past. That's really interesting. So it sounds like what I'm picking up is that in New Zealand as well, you have areas of high strangeness even, kind of similar to to how we have them in the U.S. and certain areas might come up later on in the interview, especially. But things thrown at you, that sounds familiar. That sounds like something we deal with over here, where, you know, researchers or witnesses

will be out in certain areas, and they'll have rocks thrown at them, usually in Bigfoot-related areas. So are you saying that you guys also have Bigfoot over there in New Zealand as well? Yeah, to my shocking discovery, I spent many years in America. Coming back to New Zealand, weird stuff happened back here. Now, there's a connection to Skidwarker Ranch, which you've probably heard of. Weirdness followed me around now. Now, New Zealand, now, I had no idea growing up here that there was legends from the Maori people who landed here in New Zealand about 800 years ago.

they had legends of these hairy giants that were incredibly strong they were terrified of there were areas of where they would not go you know cross creeks the certain mountainous areas they would avoid because of according to some of their legends now they didn't they didn't have you know the ability to write they just passed everything on through you know carving and song and dance and oral traditions but many of the legends that they talked about in their stories were quite reflective of Sasquatch. Oh, wow. I mean, that is so eye-opening for myself.

We were fortunate enough to have an interview that was all about Australia a few weeks ago, and that is eye-opening as well. But to hear that similar things are happening in New Zealand is amazing. Is there a name that we should be calling it for New Zealand as opposed to Bigfoot or Sasquatch? Well, the natives here would call them the Mojos, the Rappawais, the Matals, the Marrilles. There's several names just like around the world. There's hundreds, if not thousands of names for these hairy giants found across the globe. I'm really shocked to discover the legends here and the other weird stuff that was going on.

So I will, so Mojos, correct? Yes. Okay. So when you get these reports of my Mojos in New Zealand, have you found that they tend to be more towards having paranormal aspects along with them? or are they more where it seems like there's like maybe some undiscovered animal out there where people are seeing some kind of primate? Well, it seems to be a bit of both. I mean, there's a lot of what's considered something physically biologically here.

People see a physical creature, sometimes described with reddish eyes that have very powerful lungs that let out growls. incredibly strong, incredibly intelligent, outperform us in every way, particularly out there in the wild in these remote areas. The descriptions often fit descriptions of like the Yawis, there's a Sasquatch or the armisties. These descriptions fit almost identically descriptions

of the other book, foot and other places. I was surprised that when we heard from Australia, there's multiple different types of YOWIs, and they look differently. And over here in America, we also have kind of different types of regional. Bigfoot, I think. Some of them maybe have a more Neanderthal look.

Some of them have maybe a more orangutan look. Have you found that over there in New Zealand in different parts of, the country, there are different looks to these mojos. Well, I did hear from a man that worked in the Waipu forest in Northland, a very old forest, a man that worked for the Department of Conservation. He was actually on a job with a worker, fellow worker, in this, you know, off, you know, maintaining some sort of track.

Now, he described something. that was very hairy but slender, slander, not bulky like the paddy description, the famous Gimlin footage. You know, this was something. Now, they are described as being from about six foot tall up to around 12 feet tall. There are various descriptions. However, they seem to be kind of general, you know, about the same. very hairy. I don't quite hear so much about really small ones or dogmen.

We only got one report of dogmen here down towards Wellington Way. But yeah, mostly, you know, described as something that's very hairy, reddish to black, black fur. my feeling is from my experiences myself is that they are a type of people who are acutely aware of us. They're acutely aware of what cameras are, what we do, even our intentions. Okay, so extremely interesting. When you say they seem to be aware of cameras, that reminds me of how a lot of individuals over here, we will think that they are maybe even aware of like IR in game cameras. Is that kind of what you're referring to?

Yes, definitely. I'll use them for cameras quite a bit, particularly at night time. Gotcha. Have there been, so we mentioned the Patterson Gimlin footage a few a minute or so ago. have there been any successful photographs or videos captured in New Zealand as of yet? Not so much Bigfoot-wise. However, I did put out a documentary. This one took me 10 years to make. Now, towards end of my documentary, I take somebody into this, what I call researcher number one, very hard to reach area. It's a machete-only kind of area where weird stuff had happened.

Now, when I was actually taking a series of photos where weird stuff had been happening, and one of my shots up on this very steep, slippery slope, there's something up there that has a conical head, typical Bigfoot shape. And I went back to actually try to debunk it. I actually took my drone there, and I flew up the slope. You know, weeks later, or was it months later, I went back to try to try to. recreate that shot. I couldn't. I then I actually climbed down the slide very carefully. I have slipped out in that area too. But this is why I was getting those footprints, all the weird stuff was going on there. And I was trying to figure out what the heck was going on in the early days. But so I suspect that I may have got one in one of my photographs.

Oh, absolutely. There'll be a lot of people listening to this audio only. And I'll have links in the show notes as well. But so the name of your documentary, is it, um, is it the X-rated files? Yes, X-rated files, follow from Skinwalker.

Yeah. Perfect. Just awesome. Very good. Um, you mentioned that there seems to be, um, an intelligence.

Um, and then I think you mentioned as well, um, knowing intention, which, Those can lead to very interesting conversations over here. Can you think of any times when there's been intelligence shown or the mojos have been able to sense what a person's intention is as they go out into the area?

Well, I can't really say that for other people, other than my own experiences myself, I'll give you an example. Now, this is actually in the documentary. I did gifting, like what some people do. Sometimes I'll gift them fruit and stuff in a certain area. Now, I went back one time. I was absolutely shocked to find a dead wild pig lay right next to where I do gifting,

freshly killed, I stole glassy, what appears to be an incision on the hind of its back, bloodless incision, sitting there freshly killed, it looked like they had gifted me. There's other weird stuff that happened. Like I would complain and say, oh, it doesn't look like they were here today. Did something with throw a rock would hit my boot? or because it's so wet here, it rains all the time. It's very hard to find a dry stick.

Sometimes I'll do stupid things like bang a tree with a stick, but it's hard to find a dry stick. Well, one time I said, oh, I wish I could find a good stick to bang a tree. I go back there another time, and then there's this really good dry stick just laid up against a fence, just like deliberately placed there. Stuff like that. that is always extremely interesting man that finding that pig there that sounds extremely close to a lot of um things we deal out out here with like almost cattle cattle mutilations where you know there's there's lack of

uh is that's very strange to hear that in in other in other country as well um have you ever tried going out to one of your areas and being like, hey, if there's talking directly to the area that you're in, and have you had any responses that way? Oh, yes. Struggling to see up close, make it visible with Viz. Viz is a once daily prescription eye drop to treat blurry near vision for up to 10 hours.

Okay. And quite shockingly, when I say shocking, I'm going into the area, very hard to get into, very slippery. I sometimes, I'll do a call to them, like a whoop kind of call. Well, what happened is they actually whooped back to me.

They pull on a tree branch and then something with a very deep set of lungs, a groan, like a grown response. I wore a GoPro camera plus a separate in the early days of GoPro's the sound recording was crap good visuals, the sound, so I do wear a separate body mic and I upgraded my mics

but anyway so whatever it was pulled back on a branch and groaned now if you listen carefully to the footage the audio on that you can hear this groan responding to me this is where I'm finding these footprints strange structures. I found they also like to mimic.

They like to mimic human language. And I recorded it. Now, this is snowboard in recent years. This is snowballed. I'm now recording, howling, strange howling, that doesn't sound like anything that I can identify.

I had a wildlife professional, a park ranger, local park ranger who listened to that. And he heard something similar in the comment. rangers on the continental peninsula of the north island east coast heard this howling he went there with some workmates to go do curry tree seed harvesting that means climbing up these very high trees using ropes anyway he said that he heard this howling out there that he couldn't explain

that wasn't like anything you've heard almost like a like a siren but without without the sound going down. And I've heard that. I recorded some hours of whatever's going on. I had stones drying at me along with these strange sounds. One time I heard a didgerie do. I mean, my camera picked up the sound of a didgeridoo. What did the sound of a didgeridoo do?

Do it out in the area where there's no public tracks in a very wild, dangerous air where I nearly died yesterday, in a very dangerous area to go to some kind of highly intelligent interaction going on, that is it something coming from in another dimension, whatever's going on is acutely aware of us and our reasons for being out there. Now, they don't like a lot of people. Now, I've recorded a number of messages. I use very powerful.

I use mics similar to this. This is one of my mini parabolic mics. Okay. Now, what separates me from a lot of. lot of researchers is I do I use high powered mics and it's really paid off I've been never record very strange messages something with very big lungs out there and you can hear some of these samples in some of my videos on my channel so that sounds so you're almost capturing kind of like EVPs on the paranormal side is that kind of what you're referring to when you

you're capturing language? Both. I'm getting both. I'm getting stuff I'm hearing disembodied voices. And also EVP related that your ears don't hear at the time, but get pickup. Now, my mics, the professional mics I use are shielded from EMF and RF, electromagnetic frequency, and also radio frequency. They're shielded.

It ain't picking up radio. It's picking up. they say things that are really strange. One of the messages I picked up out there says humans kill them and they give themselves a name. Sometimes they'll call my name, something with a very big set of lungs. Some of these voices don't sound like us nor wildlife.

It is really shocking stuff, folks. I'm really glad that I'm recording good audio because if I hadn't, I wouldn't know, at least when you record something, you can go over it and perhaps see if you can debunk it for something. Was it a hiker or, you know, was it something that was explainable? But many times the stuff that I record, just you can't explain it not in Prozac terms. Wow, that's very shocking. When you hear your name called, so are you here? hearing this with your own ears in real time or is it it's recorded and you hear it later?

Um, both. Sometimes I'll actually hear. I won't, I'll have a hard to understand what they're saying, but my, my mics will pick them up. What they're saying. And it's really shocking when it's your own name and sometimes they say things that are not permitted on broadcast. Um, uh, one of the said we're not going to kill you mark you come and doubt humans kill as in my people are very strange some of the voices are kind of bird-like some are very like you imagine a bigfoot speaking some of them are very deep voices some of them have a quality that is beyond the dynamics of human speech very powerful they can echo the voices can echo in the mountains very very powerful voices elongated. The vocal range is just to me is amazing.

Can you, there was the first phrase you said where it's, we're not going to kill you, Mark, but and then there was something else and I didn't quite catch it. One of the voices I record out that says you come and doubt. So I also do instrumental transcommunication, which separates me from just about everybody that does this kind of thing, at least with Sasquatch research. I use electronics using Friday radio blocking material around my radios. I have a theory that and something very strange happened that's connected to what I'm talking about right now.

But anyway, I use Ferreida radio blocking material to block, you know, radio signals. I don't want radios. I suspect that some of these beings can use our electronics to get messages through. Now, the reason why I say this is some two years after returning from, well, after going to Skinwalker Ranch

where I had my first Sasquatch encounter back in 2013, in 2015, after traveling halfway across the world, I was doing a paranormal investigation in the Auckland City of all places. I'm using a San GEN-packed radio with this material around it, a very strange voice comes through it, says something about accepting the Bigfoot people, big people.

And then it repeats. Now, at the time, I couldn't quite understand what it was saying. It's something, and it kept repeating. And it was like nothing you would hear on the radio, completely opposite. Very hard to explain. And what I suspect, that I got followed from America

all the way to the South Pacific where this was started happening in the wild and I was like now when stuff happened to me in America now I've had a very strange life a number of very strange things

I studied the woo to the boo to the foo so I study you know I've got a 410 style background so I and my family got basically chased out of a house by Poltergeist from Nogne in the 80s. So I have become very interested. I've come across some very scary things in my life, some entities that can do physical harm. There is stuff. Now, you mentioned EVPs. Yes, there's stuff that can come across from

other dimensions. Now, my question is, is, well, the stuff that seeks to be quite physical, does it have the ability to cross dimensions? Is it interdimensional? Does it? It's a dimensional? does it have the ability to come through like we might describe a ghost and now the reason why I say this is when I was going to my era one of my my my first areas that I went to when I came back to New Zealand back in 2015 I was going walking along this this wall track I was actually looking at an old gold historical area overgrown lots of very native bush around there I I heard something walking through the bush by pedal and I was taking a leak and I was like, there shouldn't be anybody out here.

I hear this walking and I was like, oh, I'm going to be caught with my zip down. You know, I was like, oh, my, you know, well, something walks right up to me. I could not see it. It was right on the edge of this ravine. So I was like, what the, is it a ghost? Is it, you know, I've had many. ghost experiences. I've seen all apparitions, sometimes with other people. Now, I had the strange feeling that I had to go into this ravine, and I didn't want it because I knew it was

really dangerous getting in there. It's a machete-only area. So I went down there. That's when I started finding footprints similar to this. Now, this is one of the small casts I have. Oh, cool. Yeah. So anyway, but some of the were a lot bigger. Now, I noticed as we talked about the sound aspect. So I find these footprints. Now, it rains a lot here. There's a lot of deadfall on the topsoil. So to find prints is very hard.

So you have to be in the right area. You have to be in like a creek area where there's the mud, the soft ground is exposed. Where I've found these footprints, I found the strange X structures where they'll shove. two broken sticks into a creek. And it's an area now. Some people might say, oh, it's got to be kids. You know, it's got to be kids. Well, this area is written, not only is it hard to get to, there's caddy grass, there's

blackberry, there's prickles. You could rip your feet up very easily out there. Who is walking around over an area? Now, west is we have soft feet, you know. But anyway, so I find these strange structures, and I'm like, I've got to forget what that. And it seemed like something would mimic me out there as well or throw stuff. And that horrible weird feeling of being washed. Wow, when you're in the middle of nowhere, but just getting watched by something.

And I needed answers. And I slowly just put pieces of the digsaw together. And I realized that the Māori talked about these giants. that they were deathly afraid of in the wild. They even named some of the areas after them. A Pukimodero, which means the hills of the Harryman, a place in the South Island of New Zealand.

You know, we talked about you know, New Zealand the place of the Lord of the Rings. Well, you know, that's fantasy. But however, there's other things that are going on that ain't quite so much fiction. There's something else going on. includes wildlife professionals, park rangers,

people with a serious scientific background. Now, how did they get here? This is one of the questions that people ask me is, okay, you're all the way in the South Pacific. How on earth did they get there? Well, that's a really valid question. Well,

now, while I was making this documentary, I went to Mount Moyhau, which is actually one of the locations these giants are supposed to be. I went there, to shoot B-roll of this wild mountain. Now, this is my theory. When I was there to shoot,

I had my DSLR, I was just doing handheld footage, I got to see a giant silver sphere right by the mountain. I looked, I was like, that's a wild mountain. I mean, that shouldn't be up there. There's nothing manufactured up there. That shouldn't be up there. Is it a reflection? This thing faded right out in front of my,

my eyes. I couldn't get my bloody camera fast enough to get it. It was one of those situations like, all I can do is talk about. However, when I did further footage, I picked up these smallest sources moving like Mark 3, very fast. One of them does a mid-eer flip. Now, I fly drones too. These weren't drones moving far too fast. If you blink, you miss them. They're moving that quick. However, I suspect the same mountain is a mountain of they call the fairy people and the giants, the Patuperehe and the Mojohos. Well, I suspect that they were placed here.

The theory of Pam Spermia, that just like Westerners, when they first came down here to New Zealand, they bought with them possums from Australia, non-native creatures got over here. I suspect that either something placed them here unnaturally or in some other way. But I suspect that, you know, we also talked about the Yowie, right? Australia, you know, Australia's Bigfoot, which is, you know, it's about a two-hour flight

across the Tasman Sea. Struggling to see up close, make it visible with Viz. Viz is a once daily prescription eye drop to treat blurry near vision for up to 10 hours.

So I suspect that they were placed here. Wow. According to what I saw. So, so very interesting. It just opens your eyes. One quick question I wanted to ask before. we can see so there are no there are no primates in new zealand or any creatures uh that would even come close to being this at all right we have no bears we have no monkeys there was a report

a cover story i call it in 1924 um according to taranaki daily news i believe was in 1952 there was a story about two hunters that same mountain i was just telling you about where i saw that sphere that famous mountain two hunters reported seeing a giant on this mountain and so anyway um uh there was a cover story saying that oh there was a gorilla mascot that escaped a ship off um the bay of y arrol there not far away from there of a escaped gorilla mascot now you know we're thinking about grillers, grillers, they can't swim.

Now, it would be more likely that a baboon could have escaped. Now, also, another thing about grillers, if we want to talk about, you know, chumps and stuff like that, their feet are not like our feet. Their feet have opposing digits. They're very, very good at climbing.

Basically, they have four sets of hands. They can climb up trees. Now, the prints that are found here, And there's sometimes other people find prints giant footprints here. Rex Gilroy, who just recently passed away, cryptosologist from Australia, author. He also reported coming over here, I think it was in the mid-1990s, found giant footprints, fossilite footprints here in the Karina-Hakry Gorge area.

There have been other people who've come across giant footprints. I've heard from others who found giant footprints here. Their footprints don't look like guerrilla. footprints. They do not look like chimp footprints. They look like a larger version of owls, except some of them are really large. Now, one of the footprints that I measured was about 37 centimeters. Sorry, I forget what that is in inches off hand. Apologies to those in America. So over time, there's been reports. Now, you know, so some people try to basically wash away people's sightings by saying, oh, what was an escaped gorilla?

Now, guerrillas only lived for about 30 to 40 years. So that siding back in 1952, well, there were sightings way before that and also after that. Now, if you type in Moyhau Giants, sightings or whatever on Google, you will find press reader gives a number of samples of sightings of the years all the way up to about 1970s. you know, hikers, hunters, people, you know, tourists. Now, I got a report that same mountain that I talked about where I saw those UFOs, well, that UFO and then caught those other ones straight after.

I got reports on that same mountain. There was a man that contacted me, a fireman who was from Spain, he was here on a holiday. He was up this 3,000 foot mountain, a thousand-meter mountain, Mount Moyham. Mount Moyhau. This is the legendary mountain, wild mountain. Some people got up there, they have nothing. But then other people have stuff. He's up there.

The summit's actually off limits. But anyway, so the Murray used to carry they dead up there. But anyway, he's there. He's just there by himself. He says he's getting ready to set up his tent to sleep on the summit overnight. He hears the sound of something bipedal

bipedal footsteps moving in the bush close to him. Now at first he said he thought it was a wuppity deer, but he said that sounds more bipedal. Then what happens is a series of rocks start getting thrown at him. And this just wasn't pebbles, folks. This was heavy rocks. And I'm talking 14 kilograms. A series of whatever is throwing those rocks should be in the Olympic.

Olympics. According to him, in his report, he said there was a series of rocks that got throwing on him, that got close and closer. And he said that the final one that was trying at him was about 14 kilograms and was thrown from about 60 feet away or 20 meters away and landed very close to him. He was terrified. He fled, left his gear, fled the mountain. I was also contacted, well, I spoke to a man, I suspect, as a scientist, along with three companions who went up that same mountain back in the 70s. They went up there to sleep up there. I don't know exactly what they were doing up there, but they slept about halfway up. They said in about 1 o'clock on the morning, they heard this how up there that they couldn't explain.

They were absolutely terrified. They said they left that pace. Now, I tried to interview them. They didn't want anything to do with it. They had this cognitive dissonance. They didn't want anything anymore to do with it. All they knew is they tried to identify it. With their analytical minds, they couldn't explain it.

Oh, my goodness. So anyway, so there's a lot of stories like that. My estimation, in our current age right now, I've heard from dozens of people, of sightings who will contact me through Facebook. On my estimation, there's must be hundreds, if not more people, who've had experiences out in the wild here that because of the ridicule factor, they don't want to talk about this sighting.

They all made fun of it. Now, the reason why the rivercule fact, there's a guy here called Lee Hart. He's a comedian. He did his own show. He went to America and made fun of people that are big, Bigfoot convention. So that's the kind of

pub kind of humor that they have here. They really make fun of people. Now, I had a woman, three girls actually not far from where I go who saw, who went down to a tree house out in the bush at the back of this property up

in the White Tuckery Rangers. This was about 2007. They go down to this tree house, going out, you know, girls about 10 years, about three of them, Well, they encountered this thing down there that was about six feet high, completely hairy, red eyes, growled at them. One of them was freaked out, I don't know why. She picks up a piece of wood, throws it at it, and they say growls and starts making its way towards them.

I have no doubt that if this being wanted to take them, it could have easily taken them, let alone an adult. So there's a lot of stories like that here in this country, but you will not hear about them in modern media, except for me, stupid me. I painted a big target on myself in this country because, well, I don't care really much. But anyway, so this, I do have some articles in New Zealand, Herald Radio New Zealand. I do have some articles done about my research here and also this documentary. Really what it sounds like is if people are wanting to do. to hear more of these encounters, the best resource is what you're putting out. I mean, like your YouTube channel or documentary and you said some articles as well, right?

Yes. Yeah. Yeah, looking at pre-70s, around 1970s earlier, there are some accounts that you can read through press reader.com with the get us. Just type in more how it's fascinating. I mean, the real question is how do they get here? I mean, you know, Australia, you know, Sasquatch in North America. On the South Pacific, we are one of the most isolated countries in the world, island country.

Absolutely. Oh, my goodness. It's so many, so many questions that you could go into so many rabbit holes from there. But I would really want to make sure that we are able to talk about, so how was it? you know, what did you do over at Skinwalker Ranch? And more importantly, like, you had a big foot encounter over there. There's not many documented big foot encounters at Skinwalker, I believe. There's one in a book from a long time ago, and there's like a portal involved.

But I would love to hear what you experienced over there. Well, what led me to there, I had a tick-tack UFO siding in the desert. I nearly crashed my car. I had this feeling to pull over on the highway outside now. in Nevada. I had a siting there, a daytime siting of this craft. From that day forward in early January 2013, it turned my world upside down. I needed answers. And I'm just very quickly passing through. I learned about Skinwalker Ranch and George Knapp and the NIDS, the National Institute for Discovery Science study. Robert Bigelow had paid a lot of his own money using a team of

highly educated scientists across the spectrum, the study of what was going on, the cattle mutilations, things that looked like Bigfoot. It wasn't stuff that just happened on the property, but also outside. Now, I went there just to figure out, well, why did I see this, this, this tick-tac UFO thing?

I thought, well, that is a legendary area. I went there, you had to be invited on the property. It's guarded 24-7. that thing is like the area 51 on the paranormal. I mean, portals have been seen opening up. Even a couple of scientists saw this yellowish hole open up on the field at night. One of them had night vision gear,

you're probably familiar with the story. One of them was up on the ridge line watching with his night vision. He can see this huge creature comes through this hole into this field. there was all kinds of weird stuff that took place there. Now, I knew I had to go there for answers because that was one of the most haunted places in America. And it wasn't just there. It was also Fort DeShane. I talked to some of the locals there when I went there. One I interviewed Larry Sestbuch, Ute tribal leader, a spiritual leader there, where they saw weird stuff, sometimes giant footprints in the area.

Anyway, so I went there. The first night I went to Southern Vantage, which is about a mile or so south of the property. I had at nighttime, I had all my cameras set up. The wind was so strong, it was shaking the car. And so I was outside in it. I had these strange lights that approached me, amber-colored lights,

that would do a 90-degree turn in front of my face, lighting up my face, came really close. They went against the gusty wind. Now, insects can't handle that kind of wind. So anyway, I was like, there can't be fireflies because, I mean, they went right against it. So the second night,

I went up to this famous location where locals sometimes go, it's called UFO Hill. Now, it overlooks the skies above Skin Rocker Ridge. You can't see the ranch directly. however you can see the skies above the property over there I went up there for UFOs let's just face it I went there for UFOs Skinwall Karach is one of those places that you go there you can plan for something but something else

can happen you may not have an experience but I was one of those people because of my background and my experiences I wondered if I was going to be like a magnet to this stuff so anyway so I went up with my girlfriend up on UFO Hill there, sat in pitch black darkness up on this hill, rocky hill, overlooking the area there. And I had my laptop, had all my cameras set up. I went there to record UFOs. So we hear the strange creature sound there.

I don't know what the heck it was. I got recorded on my audio. Then there was a sound of like what sounded like an explosion. I thought it was my battery pack on one of my devices that had. and it had blown up. I was looking, checking my gear, it was really loud. It was like a little bomb going off. So I was looking, I couldn't figure out what it was because all my gear seemed to work. Now, going back over that footage a while after I realized, it was an explosion. It was a rock. Something threw a rock right next to us. Now, it was pitch black out there. Now, what happened

when we were there, we had a tribal police officer pulled up because my car was parked further down towards the road there. A tribal police officer pulls up, pulls this car up and checks out, starts taking picture of my car. And, you know, I had to be really careful because I'm like, oh, I don't want to spook him. So I said, hello, hello. You know, he couldn't see me because, you know, people, you know, trigger happy, you know. But anyway, so this tribal police officer was there. I said, look, what are you doing out here? And, you know, we're sky watching. I just said, we're sky watching.

No, not sky watching. Anyway, so he says, just be careful out here. There's this real weird stuff that goes on out here. You know, and I should have asked him. I should have asked him, well, tell me more. You know, I should have. But anyway, I felt like we're pushing our luck in this area anyway. So that was the start.

Now, I didn't have a proactive interest in the subject, subject of Sasquatch that time. It wasn't until I, two years later, I went, returned to my home country after some 20 years living in America. Going back to New Zealand, going to the world, I suspect that I was followed across the world. All this weird stuff started happening. Struggling to see up close, make it visible with Viz.

I had this shadow creature thing came right up to me. When I should have died, I had a medication interaction that should have killed me. This shadow thing came right up to me, thrust something to my heart, which the ambulance

people were surprised are still alive. I had a lot of weird stuff happen. So anyway, it snowballed into all these. weird messages on recording. When people listen to it, they have no frame of reference. I get a deer in the headlight look. That's what I get. Now, a lot of stuff has happened.

And I suspect that, you know, George Knapp has talked about the piggyback effect or the stalker or the piggyback effect of people who visit areas is quite non amongst panel investigators that you can be followed from an area. So I suspect also with Sasquatch, we're talking about Sasquatch, that they get to know you. They get to know you, especially if you keep returning to an area. You can build a relationship with them. And I don't have to go too far.

They'll interact with me. Now, in the documentary, actually, I've had stones right and across the world in America and also here in New Zealand. So pick them up on camera. So I go frame by frame. You can see, now I try to replicate that throw. I went down to the area during the day, whatever through that stone and a really good throwing arm. It's really accurate.

Now, I've taken people with me occasionally. Some people have never had experience like this before. Something will come up close to us at nighttime and start clacking stones together. This is what I would describe stone clacking sounds. One time we had a rocked, throwing a big bang right next to a I had a group of about six or so people there sitting in this location, this wild location where I nearly died yesterday. And it will affect other people

too. Sometimes you'll hear strange voices as well. So I knew in the early days I had to record my goal was to record these voices. Have you ever experienced in these same places. Let me think. Batteries suddenly not working anymore, anything like that. Yeah. So that is also associated with the paranormal. Like you can go on investigations and all of sudden, you know,

you've checked your battery. Everything's charged up. Stuff will fail. There's like Skinwick Ranch. I went there. I flew a drone up there. to get some air shots. Well, it was a MX400.

It was before they had GPS guided drones. Well, this thing, very strangely, I flew it up completely. I was only about 100 or so feet away from me. Completely lost control, like something blocked the radio signal, and it went and crashed. So I've been out there, and I've had battery packs drained, completely drained. So are they the ghosts of Bigfoot? You know, you could say, you know, areas, are they the ghost of, you know, soldiers of, you know, hauntings and that.

Are they ghosts of former inhabitants? You could say, well, are they deceased? Bigfoot, you know, are they at Astor versions of Bigfoot? You know, I have to, you know, think of a lot of things to try and try to find answers, you know, have a theory, you know. Oh, absolutely. So, it's wild that you got into Bigfoot after you went back to New Zealand. That is pretty cool. Do you ever feel like ever wish you could come back here to check out places like the Pacific Northwest for Bigfoot activity?

Do you ever have that desire to maybe make another trip over here? Well, I'd love to. I don't really bank many of what I do. It's anything you lose money when you do, particularly in this country. Yeah, sure. I love to explore. I'd have to go to different places. At least here, I don't have to worry about snakes or bears or coyotes or mountain lions, cougars.

What it doesn't have animals, the geography is very steep, slippery. It makes up for it in that. Absolutely. you've mentioned a few areas in New Zealand where there's a ton of activity. Are these areas also known for missing people as well? Is that something that you deal with in your country too? Well, there's an area not too far from where I am where there's been a number of people who've gone completely missing. Never heard of ever again.

A place called Piaja, which actually borders. the Tasman Sea, you know, surfing spot, people go there, they go on this track higher up towards the wild area, people go missing up there, never heard of be heard of again. And we just, actually, it was another lady that just went missing. So some people wonder what is their connection. There were stories of for Māori that sometimes their people would be taking. There's even stories of some of these beings being cannibal as well. There's the part of what they call the fairy people that look more like us,

but they look different to Māori. Talked about taking people, sometimes quickly through the air. Very strange stuff. Is this serial killer operating there that's never been caught quite possible? but as a researcher going up there nothing's tried to take me or harm me scare experiences, yes going out there when you're in your tent

and you hear the sound of a tree getting ripped down that's freaky you know I took a picture of these big started inviting me out there it's really I went down the rabbit hole on the subject they tore down about a

dozen healthy trees. Some of them in the South Pacific palm trees, the Noquil palms, they're resistant to Hurricane Force winds, these things. Very strong. These trees were snapped at 90 degree angles.

Completely snapped, about a dozen of them. This was where I got the picture of what I believe is the more you held. One of the New Zealand's big, but I suspect that they did that. There was no lightning marks, no saw marks. in an area it's very hard to get to now that area has you know when the trees get torn down

you get overgrown you know the trees start getting you know all the carnage from the trees start getting overtaken by the the foliage have you ever checked any of your areas for intense radiation readings or anything like that well i'd love to i'd love to have some of that scientific gear, but I've, most of my focus is, has been on audio slash video. Okay. I have, in the early days, I've done casting, but I carry a lot of gear on me, including safety gear, if something goes wrong. So, yeah, I think that would be interesting to see if that fluctuates, you know,

all the EMF levels. I do have a K2 meter that panel investigators use, but I tend to try to recall the phenomena because it does interact with me, but that would be very interesting to see. Yeah, I think more researchers over here are starting to look into that as well. Have there ever been any reports that where the witness is saying something, the effect of I heard a sound and it seemed to like affect me physically like I had my my chest was vibrating or I started feeling weird over here we call it infrasound I don't know is that a thing that

comes up over and your area as well yeah some witnesses describe the sound that they produce goes right through your chest very powerful I've also heard foot footfalls like big thuds. Like, it's weird. The power behind it is just weird. Sometimes it's described,

um, was a Dom Eastwood, the park ranger I interviewed. He described going to areas where it'll be like a bubble, like you walk into a bubble, where all the wildlife goes completely quiet. Yep. Sometimes people describe that or like what I experienced too,

you know, the feeling of being washed, that uneasy, you know, hairs stand up on the back of your neck kind of feeling. Okay, so you meant, so you've mentioned something a few times where it's really interesting. Over here, you can't really get any park rangers to talk, especially on record because they're very scared of losing their jobs.

It's something where stuff happens, but they don't want to talk to it. I've talked to one gentleman. off record. But are you saying that the park rangers over there, they are they're willing to be interviewed about what they've experienced? There's not really a, you know, oh, we can't talk about that.

Like, that doesn't exist type thing. Well, I had this one contact me, Dom Eastwood, and he contacted me. He just sometimes described Woodnock hearing Woodnock up, high in the mountains. The stones being thrown when they've got a tarp over them, you know, being thrown horizontally, not something dropping from rebroad, not like seeds or anything coming down, stuff like that.

So I was very fortunate that he contacted me because he listened to the howling that I recorded back in, what was the April of 2022, when I had picked up stones being thrown? on something very strong, very accurate. So he listened to that point he said, yeah, I've heard the same thing. Not all that far from Mount Moyi, that area where out in the Commonwealth Peninsula, where there's a lot of legends of these giants. That area, I believe that was the same area.

You said that you actually can't go up to the summit because it's like, is it sacred to, for ancestral reasons? Yes, well, they used to, Māori used to carry their dead up this 3,000 foot mountain. Wow. And they'd bury them at the top. So that's one reason. It is private property up there.

I heard of one man that sneaked up over there. And according to him, said somebody fired shotgun over their head. One of the reports I got. However, that's a very wild mountain up there. Now, according to somebody else, he records there's an ancient trickstone up there. You know, this gets into forbidden archaeology. A trickstone used for alignment, according to this man, I think it was Barry Balesford, I think is that.

So anyway, there's something up there like that too. Now, I have been to the footholes there. I have slept overnight in the footholes. It's a very wild area. People sometimes die because they die. If you don't go prepared, you can die from exposure in these places. My goodness. One other thing I wanted to ask you about,

in witness encounters, in witness encounters that get reported to you, are people reporting anything usually it's referred to as telepathy

or where they start hearing communication inside their heads? Is that something that you have come up in reports over there as well? Well, not a lot. Not a lot. That's probably one of the least reported that I get.

And it might be because a lot of people are terrified when stuff starts happening. Struggling to see up close, make it visible with Viz.

The fair aspect. Now, if you're calm and you're not having that, fight or flight the adrenaline flowing through your system i think you know it's your state of mind if you're calm that you can have that kind of stuff but a lot of people that have these encounters experiences are terrified some people don't want to go back in the bush after that now i had something weird happen after the stuff that was going on the feelings of being watched the feelings of being followed you know the sounds are being followed that kind of thing i heard a muttering sound out of there and I felt like whatever it was was two beings talking to each other about me and I said look I wasn't there for two big footing or anything like that originally I was like I'm not here to harm you

I'm not here to hurt you now something came through now this gets into the woo so this might be offensive to some people I was in my house something came into my bedroom I was laying on my bed on what was quite wide awake. Something comes into my bedroom. I could feel the energy come up to me, tapped my head, shook the bed, and gave me a day to go back there, just basically put this date in my mind.

So that was mind-speak. I went there that day. I didn't know what the heck was going to happen. So I'm going back into this area again. Something runs past me through the bush, like an elephant, smashing through the bush, like charging through next to me.

I didn't get a visual, but it was pretty freaky. It is incredible how many similarities there are now, and this might be old information to some listeners, but I mean, you've got North America, New Zealand, in Australia, different in some ways, but there's some similarities in what you guys are experiencing and what we are. experiencing what they are over in Australia and I know other you know there's the Almasdi and Russia as well and in the year and in China and it's just very very interesting how there's so many similarities in this phenomenon all over the world and hopefully someday we will get answers but Mark it has been just a fascinating conversation I just want to say thank you so much for coming on on the show today and for answering all my

questions about, you know, what you've got going on over there in New Zealand, which I had no idea about. Do you mind spending a bit of time talking about how people can, you know, one, watch the documentary that you've been telling us about and also how they can keep up to date with your research if you have a YouTube channel or anything like that? Well, they can see it all on Mountain of Entities, just type of into YouTube, such looked me up that way. Documentary took 10 years to make.

The X-rated files followed from Skin Walker. Actually, I think I've titled Bigfoot UFO documentary. It got released in late 2023. However, the following year, I did end up, putting it up on YouTube for people to see.

So watch all the way through the end, folks, because you will hear those very strange voices out there. I take someone with me towards the end of the documentary. There's a radio show that I go in and where they ask some questions, good questions. I take somebody with me who's never experienced this stuff out there, who's familiar with the folklore.

And you can see what happens when I take somebody with, we find footprints. There's other stuff that goes on. You can, so it gets documented on video and on audio, along with this, which I believe is possibly one of the, the Moy Hills, the New Zealand's Bigfoot's.

Fascinating. Mark, I'm sure there'll be some people from New Zealand listening to this. If there are and they do have experiences they'd like to report to you, is there a way that they can reach out to you to share what they've encountered in New Zealand as well? Well, they can either get hold of me through Facebook, just look me up. There's very few people with my name. or they can just go through my YouTube channel. I read the comments and quite often I respond.

Look, I just had a man earlier this year down Mary Mary. Having his wife saw a Big Fort Honour Forestry road driving to Napier when they pulled over. Yeah, they can just contact me through Facebook or through my YouTube channel, the best ways. Fantastic. Well, Mark Koppel, thank you so much. much for coming on again and definitely keep us in the loop if things continue to happen down there in New Zealand. We would love to hear about it sometime in the future and I'm sure we'll definitely I'll be falling along with things you continue to put out. But thanks so much,

Mark. I appreciate you coming on today. Thank you for having me, Jeremiah. Much appreciate it. Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch, or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a national park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI, a federal agency, or working intelligence, and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense, if you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field or a trucker with government contracts, and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul, and if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract, who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.

if you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat, and you saw something that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or anything with clearance, and you've seen what the public hasn't, then I want to talk to you. Even if it's anonymous, you can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail.com. The world needs to hear what you've been forced to carry alone,
