Bigfoot Society - It Had No Head in Detroit!

Episode Date: August 10, 2025

What happens when a Detroit engineer sees a regal, white-furred creature walking across his backyard patio — and realizes it has no head?In this spine-tingling episode, we sit down with Aiden, an electrical engineer from the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan, who shares his first-hand account of encountering a mysterious, headless humanoid with ancient roots. Aiden describes the creature's powerful build, pristine fur, and impossible anatomy… and opens up about the strange environmental and energetic clues that seem to tie it all together. From granite boulders in his neighborhood to the role of quartz and frequency in cryptid visibility, Aiden’s analytical mind brings a unique perspective to the paranormal.This is not your typical Bigfoot story. And whether you believe in alternate dimensions, ancient beings, or the untapped weirdness of suburban America — this is one episode you won't forget.Featuring references to Detroit-area sightings, quartz resonance theory, and even a childhood encounter that eerily matches Aiden’s own.🗣️ Share Your StoryHad a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?Send it to [e-mail] – your story might be featured on the show!🎥 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube🔴 Subscribe here → Bigfoot Society YouTube💬 Leave a comment & let us know your thoughts!📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → Speakpipe (Use multiple voicemails if needed)👥 Share this episode → Watch & Share🎧 More episodes → Podcast Playlist🌲 Recommended: New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters💥 Support the Show & Get Perks✅ Join the community on Patreon – Become a Member✅ Listen ad-free & early on YouTube – Join Here📱 Let’s ConnectInstagram: @bigfootsocietyTwitter: @bigfoot_societyTikTok: @bigfoot.society🧰 Tools & Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)These help support the show at no extra cost to you:Beam (Better Sleep): Try BeamWildgrain (Better Bread): Join HereSeed (Probiotics): Get SeedMedi-Share (Healthcare): Learn MoreLMNT (Electrolytes) Free Sample Pack with your first purchase! : Get LMNT🎙️ Podcasting Tools:Repurpose.io: Try ItDescript: Sign UpStreamyard: Start RecordingRiverside.fm: Try Riverside🎧 My Audio Interface: View on Amazon☕ Buy Me a Coffee – Support Here🛍️ Grab Some Merch – Shop on Etsy📬 Mailing Address:Bigfoot Society125 E 1st St. #233Earlham, IA 50072📧 Business Inquiries:[e-mail]

You're listening to Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. Tonight's story doesn't come from a deep forest or an isolated mountain trail.

It comes from a suburban backyard in the heart of Michigan. Aidan is an electrical engineer from the Detroit metro area, and what he saw one cold evening changed everything. He's a creature covered in bleach-white fur walking with confidence and missing one critical thing ahead. Was this a bigfoot or was it something else? Something older, stranger that might go back thousands of years and human memory. You'll hear how Aiden's knowledge of frequencies and crystal resonance

might explain the unexplainable here and how one forgotten sighting from a co-worker cracked the case wide open. So this is the story of Aden and the headless one in his yard. So stay with us. All right, Pickfoot Society. You've got the privilege of talking to Aden today. Aiden is an electrical engineer from Michigan around the Detroit metro area. But welcome to the show today, Aidan.

How's it going, man? Going good. Good. Thanks for having me. Pleasures all mine, J. My pleasure's all mine. Absolutely. You know, we were talking a little bit before the show that this is going to be a definitely

unique one. It's a unique citing in a unique area. Not the first time we've talked about Detroit on the show, but we might get into that later. But Aidan, I want to make sure you have the time to share what you experienced in that Detroit area.

So feel free to take us back to when this instance happened for you. Sure, absolutely. So I believe it was around 2017. And so the weather was cold outside. I can't tell you exactly, you know, what season we were in.

It was definitely cold and I was in, I was for the back of the house in the kitchen. And my, my mother-in-law and my wife were there chatting about something. And, you know, I see some kind of motion in my periphery. It catches my eye and, you know, my head just snaps to it and I'm looking right out the the sliding glass window or not the end of the door and I see this this thing was bleach white

and it's just walking by right in front of me was no less than 10 feet so I'm you know I that's pretty darn close and it had the thickest fur I had you know it was super thick you can see any skin on this thing

was just all white fur and the seed is this thing was clean. It was just immaculate. There's not a speck of dirt on it, not a blemish. And it's just walking by. And let me tell you that the posture, this thing was so upright. I just, you know, it almost looked regal in a way, the way its posture was held up like that. And I don't know if I mentioned it already, but it was about four foot nothing. This thing was short.

It wasn't, you know, some huge hulking mass of the thing, which is, you know, what people usually care about, you know. And I got, you know, the perfect, the perfect profile angle on this thing, just walking by. And the weirdest thing about it is, I'll just come right out and say it had no head. it was headless and this thing was as wide as it as it was you know

tall which is but it was it was built very stout is what I'm trying to say like the back on this thing you know like a power lifter you know

what a power lifter is back with that huge you know cleave down the middle this thing was deep like you could you could tell this thing was powerful. It was small, but this thing was powerful. You could just tell by looking at it.

And, you know, I'm taking all this in. It must have been a matter, it must have been a matter of a couple of seconds. You know, to me it felt more like 30 seconds or so. And it had no habit. There was no other way for me to explain it. The only thing, I said to myself, you know, before I get any further, you know, I turned to my wife and I said, did you see that?

She gives me a funny look and, you know, looks at me sideways and goes back to talking with a mother and off. So I say to myself, okay, I'm on my own with this thing. I'm back in my head trying to work up some courage to, you know, open the sight and glass door, just, you know, hit the backyard and, you know, take a better look at this thing, you know. And I'd say about, you know, a couple more. seconds go by as I'm trying to work up the courage and I pop out and this thing is gone. So, you know, and then I think it was like for about a, for about a month, I'm trying to figure out what this thing is. And at one point I convinced myself that I saw a giant rat, which is pretty ridiculous, you know, I convinced myself I saw a giant white rabbit.

And I'm like, that ain't right. I don't know. I don't know what made, you know, I was trying to rationalize it and convince myself, like, these things don't exist. But, you know, I didn't see what I saw. But it was clear as day. Like, there's no, there's no way I didn't see what I saw. So once I came to terms, came to terms with it, I, I stumbled. on to this

phenomena called the Blemie. I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that right or Blemiae. Not even sure how it's spelled. But I mean, if you Google it, you'll see these headless things that have been documented

throughout history. And not documented as a mythology, but documented as these actual things. So the difference was when you see the depictions of these things, you'll see their faces on the chest area.

But this thing, I don't know if that was the case with this thing. Maybe I didn't have the right angle, or I didn't look in time to get, you know, the frontal perspective. But from that profile, there was, you know, there was nothing on top of those shoulders, no neck, no head. You know, it kind of reminding me of that, that character, that

Loon's character with a red fur. I don't know. Gossamer is the name of that character. Believe it or not. Is that it? Okay. It's Gossamer, yeah. Yeah.

Okay, yeah. So, you know, the gossamer-looking thing, you know, walking across my backyard, you know, it was, it was tough to swallow.

So, you know, and I know, I don't know where it disappeared to or what have you. So the next day my wife was talking about because we wanted to cut down the tree. It's a pretty loose connection, but I'll make it anyway. So I just dream, some disembodied voice said you can't cut down the tree. So I'm thinking, was this thing somehow attached to the tree?

I don't know. I know it sounds out there. You know, it's kind of woo factor. But, you know, one thing, one thing I've learned, you know, in my career and in life in general, is, you know, the world itself is woo factor. So, you know, that word really doesn't mean anything to me, to be honest. You know, like, you know, the saying, you know, any technology you don't understand is no different than magic.

I think most people, not to insult any of your audience, I'm sure your audience is very intelligent but most people don't understand that without you know the crystal in in our phones we wouldn't be able to speak with each other you know so like there's literally you know a magic rock in your phone if and it doesn't vibrate at the right frequency like we won't be able to talk to each other so you know if that's you know not you know spooky action at a distance i don't know what is so you know um you kind of went off on a tangent there but um um You know, there's a lot of, like my neighborhood, for example, you know, I'm not sure. Actually, I'm pretty sure your audience is familiar with Tha Plitis and, you know, the granite boulder fields where people go disappear into somehow.

And, you know, the connection I made, you know, with my background, you know, so I designed circuit boards for a living, you know, mostly for RFID and near field communications. I understand, you know, oscillators and frequencies and things of that nature, not to get too nerdy on you guys. So state phytus, he mentions the Boulder fields and, you know, people going missing and weird stuff happening around them. And so granite can be up to 60% quartz, which is what's, you know, the crystal that's needed in pretty much every technology. and, you know, I don't think that's coincidence at all. I really don't. And so to tie that into my situation, my neighborhood, you know, I'm not, I don't live in any remote area. I'm not in farm country or anything like that.

It's just, you know, a suburb outside of the city. And, but if, if it's one thing, you know, Michiganers understand is that, that Michigan, not so much the city, but outside of the city, even if you're in, you know, a subdivision or a suburb, there's still wilderness in the background surrounding you. There's, you know, there's, you know, little river tributaries or little waterways here and there. And if you, you know, Google map, you'll see that you're not quite, you know, not quite in what we know of civilization. I'm getting there, so bear with me. So my neighborhood, I noticed there's, you know, these granite boulders kind of peppered everywhere. You know, you'll see them, you know, every other house.

You'll see a huge granite boulder on someone's lawn. And I'm thinking, you know, whoever built these houses, I probably didn't put those there. Probably tried their best to avoid having to move them. And they work aesthetically. So my point is, you know, this neighborhood seems to have all the ingredients, you know, according to Dave Politis's details to make these weird events kind of happen. You know, we've got the quartz boulders or not the granite boulders. You have, you know, the waterways peppered in here and there.

And my yard has actually the drainage for the surrounding homes for it, too. So water is also a factor if I didn't mention that. yeah, I'm not sure where to go from here, but, yeah. So that's, I don't know if I'm trying to, you know, science this thing, or not maybe I am, but there's no other way for me to think about it, really. Eden, it's a really unique story. And, you know, probably a lot of listeners are going to be like, well, it's in Detroit area. Well, guys, here's the thing.

There's, as Aden said, there's weird stuff that happens in Michigan. And, yeah, there's nature everywhere. I mean, we have talked to another individual on the show. I think it was a year or so ago about an encounter he had in a Detroit suburb as well. This individual was Violent J from the insane clown posse group. So that was... Oh, yeah. Yeah.

That was interesting. So there's at least two weird things happening in Detroit there, or at least the suburbs, outskirts of it. You know, I have a few questions for you about what you saw. Did you notice any footprints when you went outside? No, no footprints. But then again, no, I know footprints. So I have a, so I have a little bit of a concrete. slab, you know, and honestly, I wasn't even looking at the ground per se. I was just looking

at this thing. So I want to say, you know, most of its, most of its walk that I saw with my own eyes was on the concrete slab that's in front of the sliding glass door. And, you know, I'll be straight with you. I didn't even think to look for footprints. Even if they were there, I didn't notice them, but at the same time, I can't say that I looked for footprints. And that was definitely, you know, me dropping the ball on that. And I was already, you know, a Bigfoot, you know, I don't want to say, I don't say, I don't say, believer. I'm definitely a fan, I would say, you know, I got the Bigfoot sticker on my car and everything, you know. I just don't know if Bigfoot is something physical, something in between, you know, or I don't know.

I don't know. I know whatever it is, people are seeing it and they're, it is real. You know, as, you know, as vague and amorphuses that word is, this thing is real. I just don't know, you know, what the physicality of it is. is. So whatever I, whatever I saw, I, I don't know. I think maybe that I was, you know, it was just at the right frequency enough for me to, for me to see it. This is my, my, I guess, my theory on reality itself. And it's no by no means complete or, yeah, so I'll just leave it that I what I believe is if there's different you know realities you know

overlaid as you know people would would say dimensions you know I kind of don't like that word because it to me it infers you know like what it is a dimension you know length with height you know the three dimensions so I don't think it has anything to do with that I think if there are different realities they're overlaid within frequencies you know similar to, you know, the radio or it is the radio and is what I suspect. So whatever I saw, I think, was close to whatever frequency human beings vibrate at, and that's why I was able to actually see this thing. You know, that, you know, coupled with what I know about, you know,

quartz crystals and our actual, you know, modern technology, I've convinced myself that that's the only way that I was able to see this thing. I don't know if it was a fluke, something aligned just right for me to see it. I guess that's a long way for me to say that maybe there wasn't any possible way for it to leave footprints. But that's at the same time, as soon as I said that came out of my mouth, I'm saying that's rubbish because we're finding footprints out there. I mean, not me personally, but people are finding footprints out there of, you know, big foot or whatever phenomena that is.

And so I don't know. Maybe it fluctuates back and forth. You know, it's a mystery, you know, and people think, you know, we've got everything, you know, mankind's got everything worked out. we can barely predict the weather, in my opinion. I mean, I'll even give you an example, like tornadoes. You know, we can't predict when a tornado develops. They say, oh, they develop in a supercell.

Well, rarely any supercells produce tornadoes, but that's what they'll tell you they come out of. you know so it's like you know or a tornado can come from you know the average rainstorm and there you have you know a tornado so i don't know why i went down that route but you know and it's like they can also form in fair weather so like what exactly do we know you know like we can't we can barely even predict predict the weather you know so you know i kind of got lost in my head with that. It is a really interesting thing to think about it that way of for sure.

So a few more questions for you. This one might be, it might see come off as a little weird, but, and you don't have to get into detail in the answer if you don't want to. Around that time just before, did you have any highly traumatic events happen in your life? no no actually life was uh super super boring for for her for many years up until that event okay so you know and you know i i prefer boring i don't want you know excitement um in my life i mean you know to a degree of course but um no no nothing like that okay kind of that you know although there's there's a lot to be said about that you know i i i watched a podcast about

about an individual who did a study in jails and prisons. And he somehow came to the conclusion that, you know, people who do, like, substances of that nature eventually will come, you know, acquire some kind of schizophrenic or psychosis. But the twist on that was he said that, you know, when they're together, they see the same entities doing the same things, which to me, it doesn't sound like some kind of, you know, mental disorder. It sounds a little woo, you know, like, so, you know, there's, there's more to be said about that, but the way he was explaining it, it's more of like a, like an upper.

But so, so, but it gives you a, a euphoria. So that's, that's the feeling that it gives, you know for you know I guess the first usages of it was that he said that after a while you you get a schizophrenic and you come down with a psychosis but so he had he had an incident when he was in the jail interviewing you know one of the one of the inmates and it was I can't describe it any other way

except it was like a supernatural event He said he heard, you know, like electricity crackling. And then, you know, I can't do the story much justice. I wish I remembered his name. But, you know, these people being able to see, you know, the same entities doing the same things, you know. And to me, it sounds like more like a gateway is opening by means of these, you know. And, you know, I think it's referred to, you know, in scrubs. scripture as, you know, the cutting of roots and things of that nature. I don't know if it was

referred to as a type of magic, but, you know, what do we know? The older I get, the more I realize we don't know anything. So that's it. That's extremely interesting. I mean, I don't have much knowledge about that area, but it is interesting to think about. This is Matt Rogers from Los Culture East us with Matt Rogers and Bowen-Yang.

And, you know, it just had this, like, really strong. You couldn't see, you could see some muscle definition, you know, like the thighs were, like the calves were as thick as the thigh. This thing was just like a tree trunk. And, you know, you got the deep back and like, the details were so vivid. The fur, I could tell the fur was at least like, like six inches long, each, you know, each strand, you know, just like overlapping each other. And, yeah, it reminds me of those, like, one of those sheep dogs. I forget what they called me, they called, just keep sheep dogs.

I don't know. But it, not a blemish on the thing, super white. Yeah, I think I went around the world with that answer, but no,

no tail. I did not see a tail at all. It didn't have, it didn't have, I didn't have anything, it didn't have, like a prominent, like prominent glutes,

right? So, okay. I think it was, uh, was it, Cliff, uh,

Barkman, who said, uh, Bigfoot got back. This thing had no back whatsoever. Right. Flat, but,

and it was, but, but like the posture on it was, you know, this thing was some kind of royalty or something the way, the way. If it had a face, its nose would be in the air, but not the case. So it sounds like it was like it owned the place the way it was talking, or it was walking, rather. Yeah, yeah, exactly. You nailed it. You nailed it.

This thing had some serious confidence as it's walking by. And I'll tell you, I suspect whatever I saw, I think it was a blenny or a blemii. I'm not sure how to say that, but I think. So some of the depictions show them with fur or hair. Some of them show them more humanoid with, like, you know, just, you know, human-looking skin. I guess it depends on the interpretation of the artist, but they're, I can't name any right now off the top of my head,

but there are famous figures that have documented these things during their travels and not as a mythological creature, but, you know, as a real thing. There is a tribe, I think, somewhere in Africa

that goes by the same name, and they're just, you know, they're just people like me and you. But I don't, I'm adamant that those guys have nothing to do with what was documented,

documented in history. I don't know how these things got the two got conflated or what happened with that. But the blammy I'm talking about is some headless creature, possibly with a face on its chest.

So yeah, it's weird. So when you said that, you know, it has no head, can you describe I'm guessing that you're seeing the shoulders. Are you seeing then a neck with nothing on it? Or is it just shoulders and nothing above the shoulders? No, no neck whatsoever.

So to me, if it had a neck, it would just seem like a, I don't know, like it was poorly designed. So what I saw was this thing was meant to be this way, in my mind anyway. Yeah, so there was no neck whatsoever. It was just pretty much shoulders. you know, wide shoulders. And, and that, so, I think from any other angle, it would have given me the impression that something was hunched over.

But there was no possible way that, that it was hunched over so much that I couldn't see the head because it was only, you know, less than nine, ten feet away from me. And I had the perfect, you know, profile perspective where if there was a head, I would have seen it. It just was not there. You know, you would, if it was hunched over, you would expect, you know,

to see the head and it's like chin kind of, you know, pressed up near the chest bone or wherever, you know, if it was hunched over or maybe, you know, they say, you know, some saskatch are built that way. But this thing, clean shoulders, no neck. A head was not meant to be there. Gotcha. So no head at all, nothing that looked like it could have been eyes around the shoulders. No, no. I, you know, I think if I would have, if I would have caught it maybe sooner, I would have, you know, gotten that perspective of it, you know, approaching, you know, the left side of the window I would have been able to see or the door, I should say, I would have been able to see that, you know, the chest more flat. but I caught it with, you know, I could still see like a little bit of the chest, but I caught it like right in the profile and then as it was walking the waist,

I was able to see, you know, you know, the side profile and then the back, the width of it and then just, you know, the details of the back and the legs and all that. So, yeah. How long? No eyeballs. How long were the arms that you could. see. I want to say they looked a little disproportionate, but not, but not something, you know, it wasn't something that I made note of really. It seemed, it seemed, how do you say,

it seemed proportionate to, to what I was seeing. Like, it wasn't, it wasn't a knuckle dragger or anything like that. It just, it seemed, I want to say, I was just going to go ahead and say it was of human proportions as far as, you know, the arms compared to the legs and whatnot. It didn't, it didn't come off like, like, some kind of dwarf. It came off. It seemed like, I don't know how to articulate, you know, dwarfism exactly as far as the physical fact but that's not what I saw. I saw something

that was built, very robust, and the proportioned looked normal. Could you tell if it was a male or female? Did you get any indication of that? Well, you know,

I didn't see the private part. And, you know, I find that strange that none of the Bigfoot sightings talk about that. A few do,

a few do, but I didn't, I didn't see I didn't see that. I don't think I had the right angle to see it. But if I had to bet, I would bet on mail all day. You can't, like, you know, the way it was walking, you know, the width of the thing. Yeah, you can just tell like the V shape. It has like the typical, you know, V shape that a man would have, or male, I should say.

So there's no Yeah, there's no way in my mind That that was the female To me So But you never know You know Have you ever talked to

Your neighbors About if they've seen Anything weird Or Anything I thought? You know My neighbors kind of Keeps themselves

I remember I saw A huge Huge job bird or like a hawk or an eagle and that's that's another you know testimony to how wild even the the you know the suburbs are in Michigan you know just the other day actually there's there's these huge there I don't know if they were eagles or hawks I can't tell a difference but the wingspans were ridiculous anyway my point being this one summer I see the huge bird and it was up close like

It might have been, you know, maybe, I don't know, let's say five yards away, like in height and, like, depth. So I don't know what this thing was doing or what it was chasing, but it caught me off guard. And my neighbor was right across the street, and I look at her and I say, did you see that thing? And then she's like, no, she kind of like, it gave me a little side eye, like, what's wrong with this guy? I'm just like, never mind. You know, I didn't bother continuing, you know, the sentence after that. But, yeah, you know, kind of feel people out and see they're, you know, open to some weirdness. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Some people see things all the time. Some people just don't, you know, see any weird stuff throughout their lives. And I don't know what the difference in those people are. I feel like I'm something in between because it seems like every 10 years or so

I'll see something out of the ordinary. Like I'll give you, I know it's off topic, but there was this one evening I got out of work and doing some laboratory work and my exit building. For some reason, I've got a habit of, whenever I exit a building

or anywhere indoors, I always look up. It's just something like I'll lean on my car, I'll look up and whatever I see. You know, usually I see nothing. Actually, I see nothing 99.99% of the time. But that day, I look up and there was some cloud cover. It was pretty much a gray, a gray day. It was all gray. But I see the silhouette.

I don't know, I'll just come out and say it. It looked like a dragon was flying above the cloud color. Like it had that one, the typical, not like the Asian type dragon, the, what he called, like the camelot, night and shining armor type of thing. and what made me think Dragon was, you know, any other, you know, profile or silhouette, I would say, okay, it's just a big bird, who cares, you know, like depending on, you know, the distance from the cloud cover, you know, and how it's casting a shadow beneath it, you know, it's probably bigger than what I actually saw. I don't know, but the thing looked huge.

It was a shot, I don't know if it was casting a shadow or the thing was a shadow. I don't know, but it had a tail. and birds, you know, birds don't have tails. So, you know, make of that what you will, you know. And, you know, every decade or so, I'll see something weird, you know, and, you know, most of the time, that memory is suppressed. It's like that they come back when, you know, certain things will, you know, will trigger the memory.

And I was like, oh, that did happen, you know. And otherwise, you know, out of sight, out of mind, I've got to move on with life, you know, life goes on. But every so often I'll see something weird. But I, yeah, Michigan is, I think Michigan is pretty darn weird as far as, you know, certain fighting schools. Oh, 100% is, I mean, just for Bigfoot stuff, Michigan has some weird, weird things going on, especially over by Manistee National Forest on the west side in this area or people that, you know, has it ever come up that you've talked to anyone that has had a Bigfoot

sighting or interaction in that area, Michigan? There was this one person that I spoke with. He, it wasn't him, it was his, it was his father. And, and he would, he would, he would, he would, make fun of his dad, you know, in front of me. And I would say, you know, I told him, you know, I wouldn't, I wouldn't make fun of him. You know, you're, you know, you're still kind of young. You haven't seen much yet.

So, you know, he might be, you know, prematurely making fun of the guy right now, you know. And he's like, oh, what did you see? I'm like, I didn't see anything. I just, you know. But, oh, wait, there was actually, there was a young. man, I'm not going to say his name. So he actually had the same, a similar experience. He saw a similar entity that, or phenomena that I saw. Only he was, he was a kid when he saw. He said he was with his parents and it popped up from behind some rocks. And he's telling me this story.

So I tell you, it's the, it's the, for some reason, I don't know how we got into this conversation. So this is probably the only person that I spoke with about this, you know, at work, you know, because I don't, I don't want to come off like, you know, like another at my job. So, so, so for some reason, I, I felt comfortable. Well, one, because he was an intern. And I knew that, you know, he wasn't going to be there much longer anyway. So, so whatever. We had this conversation. And, well, he went first. So I didn't say anything about my thing.

So he goes and he says, oh, yeah, you know, I saw this white furry thing pop out from behind a bunch of rocks. My parents are there. And I say, I tell my parents, and I say, no, you know, it's just your imagination. You know, they brushed them off, you know, this little kid, like, whatever kid, beat it, you know. So I'm sure it didn't go down like that. But so and so automatically it was like a reflex. I say to the kid, he wasn't kid. So I say to him, did it have a head?

And like his jaw just dropped, you know, to the floor. And he said, no, no, it didn't have a head. So that was the one and only time. And it was, it was that day, it kind of weirded me out. because I didn't think I would ever run into anyone that had ever saw anything remotely like this thing. And it turns out there is one other person that saw it. I don't recall.

It was definitely somewhere in Michigan. I don't recall exactly where it was. I think he was camping or something to that effect. They were out somewhere out in some remote place and he saw this thing. So, yeah, man, you just triggered a memory that almost lost forever there. Well, there you go. I'm glad we have this conversation and so you didn't forget it forever.

But, you know, it is, it's weird when there's connections like that, when there's another. And so here's the thing about whatever you saw, which this is kind of a one-off, you know, to try to focus on Bigfoot. And I'm not, I'm saying it's a one-per-maybe, maybe it was a Bigfoot is like 1% chance, but probably, I mean, this Blemmy, whatever it is, if you look it up, I mean, I'm sure you have too. This thing has been written about through history. It's crazy.

Araditis, Pliny, all these historical authors. It's very, very strange. Right. Yeah, and then, you know, I can only speculate, but I suspect that something about, you know, the people back then were more in tuned with that reality. Whatever frequency, I hate the science, everything, you know, but whatever vibration that is, I think, was the norm for those historical people. So when they saw these things, they were probably, you know, as real as me and you talking right now.

So that's just what I'm thinking. And I don't know what has changed, you know, from back then to, you know, so-called modernity, modernity. But here we are. And, you know, we can't see these things for the most part. And, you know, who's to say, you know, I think these headless blemys are mistaken for Bigfoot's a lot of the time. I think, I think, you know, the Bigfoot sightings were, you know, I don't know. I don't know anything, but I suspect that whenever someone sees these little guys with no heads, I don't know if they're all little, but I think Bigfoot, you know, a slumped over, hunched over, you know,

Bigfoot is what comes to mind for most people when they see. Especially, you know, if you saw the thing from behind, you know, what are you going to think? You know, it's this upright, hairy thing. It must have, you know, poor posture or it's just built, you know, in a weird way where you can't see its head. I think sometimes people make the assumption that it has a head. And that puts it in the category of Bigfoot. I think that's happening. To what degree, I don't know.

But I think that could be the case. It's a very strange thing, Aidan. I've never come across it. This is my first time hearing about it and looking into it. and who knows what this will lead to. But I just want to say thank you for coming on to share what you experienced that day. And I think it'll probably lead to a few interesting conversations. So I appreciate you sharing your sighting.

Oh, man. I appreciate you having me. And it's been a blast where I actually learned a few things. That's awesome. Thank you.
