Bigfoot Society - It Was 15 Feet Away… and Just Stood There

Episode Date: February 8, 2026

In this episode, we explore a series of firsthand encounters shared live by witnesses from across the country, each rooted deeply in place and personal experience. From a late-night ride on a rail-to-trail outside Charlotte, to firewood camps near Shiprock and the Four Corners region, the stories unfold with precise locations and unforgettable detail.Listeners are taken into dense Indiana forest at Yellowwood State Park, along remote hunting land in southwestern Louisiana, and into river corridors of South Carolina where nighttime activity escalated quickly. Field research and long-term exploration in the San Bernardino Mountains add another layer, shaped by years of tracks, photographs, and time spent on the land.🗣️ 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 Supercast – 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 LMNTOrganic and non-GMO groceries delivered for lesshttp://thrv.me/uarEhS🎙️ 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

You're listening to Bigfoot Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first-hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways, the stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it. 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. Hey, Rob, how are you? Good.

How you doing? Hey, doing good. Go right ahead. All right. Okay, so I live in Charlotte, North Carolina, and I was on a rail to trail. This was probably five years ago now. And I was a general manager for a famous chicken company. And I closed the restaurant at about 1 o'clock in the morning.

morning and I was on the rail to trail on my bicycle coming back home. The trail was behind my house and I have a big headlight on my bicycle. This was in the early spring. And I had to stop because there were so many little animals coming across the rail to trail. So I waited and I waited and the animals got bigger and bigger. It's kind of funny because I'm thinking two by two maybe. maybe Noah's Ark was out there somewhere, but that's not what happened. Two deer came across the trail, and then something else stepped out in front of me, probably 15 feet away. And it turned towards me. The only thing it did was go, I froze.

I was white knuckling my handlebars on my bicycle. and I didn't move. And it stood there for about eight minutes, I think. And then it just turned away from me and walked into the woods nonchalantly, like I didn't even exist. It was about eight feet tall. I would say its shoulders were about three times the size of me, completely covered in hair, smelled really bad,

and it was definitely not a bear. I've hiked probably 5,000 miles in the woods around my house and the Appalachian Trail, and I've never seen anything close to what this was. And that's my story. That is intense, my friend. What year did you say that I was again? It was about five years ago now. Five years ago, okay, so 2021.

So you were biking. you're 15 feet away from it. Yep. So you're getting closer to it as it comes out, or did you, you stopped? I stopped because of all the animals that were crossing in front of the trail in front of me. That made me stop. And then it just stepped out onto the trail. It's one of those that they take the rails out from an old railroad, and they pave it for people to bicycle and walk.

Gotcha. And it was hysteria. experience I've ever had in my life. Were you able to see its face at all? Oh, yeah. Yeah. It looked very similar to the picture behind you, but not quite as stark figured. They were more soft featured, but it was definitely a man or a male. Let me say that.

And you're saying that just by other features you can see on the figure? Well, it didn't have like any breasts. Let me say that. Okay, gotcha. Okay, got it. So I'm assuming it was a male, but it smelled really bad, and it was really big, and it only did the one huff, but wasn't aggressive. And I figured that was like, don't approach me kind of thing. And then it just turned away and nonchalantly walked into the woods.

I never saw anything like it again. And I traveled through there quite a bit. I went into the woods to see if there were any footprints or anything at all, and I couldn't find any evidence at all. And I know I was extremely sober. I wasn't drunk. I wasn't smoking anything crazy. I was a general manager for this company, and I closed the restaurant that night and then came home after that. Wow. Is this a story that you've shared after that, or how did things go? after this encounter for you? Well, my daughter and I went out there

and I shined animals out in the woods, but never saw anything that big again. Nothing was ever that tall. Okay. Have you heard of any other sightings or encounters in that same area? Nothing at all. And I've talked

to a lot of people who go out there on the trail, a lot of hikers, that kind of thing. Interesting enough, though, I own a gourmet coffee trailer, and I share the story frequently with people and they will give me encounters that they've had that they can't figure out either that they just have no idea what it was saw it walking on two legs never saw it go down on all fours and i'm thinking other people have had sightings out there too okay uh so these are people from your area in charlotte yes oh man that's awesome you should start uh keeping a map or something like that

marking it all down that would be really interesting that's what i do that yeah yeah that's cool man um yeah keep doing that uh then eventually you'll you're just become known as the guy in the area that people need to go to and that's that's really really cool um but thank you so much rob for coming up and and for sharing uh what you experienced uh around charlotte it was amazing i appreciate your time thanks that's awesome you have a great night sir you bye Hey Alroy, how's it going? Okay. Hey, how are you?

I'm doing okay. Awesome. Hey, thanks for coming up. Thanks for coming up. Feel free to share what happened to you. Okay. This is, this happened probably like in 2010 or 11. It's the same area where I told you at, the first one, in Shiprock, New Mexico.

Yes. Yes, that's right. Yes, thank you. This one is going towards. Cortez, Colorado. But there's a Mesa Farm Road. But anyways, it's on the north side. And we're getting some woods one time.

There's four of us. And we went out there at the San Juan River, getting some woods. And my friends, they heard some sound, and there was a big boulder. Somebody threw a big boulder, and the human being can't pick up that big boulder, the one we saw. And we're like, what is that? So my friend went over there to go walk a little ways in the treeline area, and we smelled something real bad order.

And he told us to come over, so we went over there, and there was two bigfoots, and we froze and saw it. and we got scared and we left our chainsaws there. And it was towards the evening time, probably like 6, 7 o'clock in the evening time. So we were leaving. And when we're leaving, we stopped and like, oh, our chainsaw, because our chainsaw is very expensive. So we turn around to go get our chainsaw and our axe. You know, the chainsaw on axe were missing.

And those Bigfoot, they're smart. they know how to use the axe and when we went back over there the axe was missing but the chainsaw was there so we got our chainsaw and then we started like we're on the main road and we're like maybe we can cook something so we're just looking around

and make sure everybody's okay and we started cooking and all of a sudden again it threw a big tree stump and we saw some kind of growl and we got scared and we left the next day we went to that my friend's grandma and we told her and she's Navajo and she's traditional she said you guys better not go over there they might throw witchcraft art do something to you and they're like okay so but we went back over there and we saw some footprints.

Footprint by like maybe 13 to 14 inches long and probably like four inch wide. And we're like what, but we never found our axes. And then we're like, what shall we do? But we told the fishing game warden and the fishing game warden took a long time. So we started like, started investigating ourselves. And we went to the woods and there was like a shade house where Bigfoot put some branches and some leaves around it for like a bedding where he was laying down.

So that was my experience. My second time I seen Bigfoot. So after that, we were back over there. But the first one I told you about really scared me. Because I seen it about maybe 50 yards and I was scared and terrified. Absolutely. How close was the second experience, though? Probably like 100.

Okay. A hundred meters away. So yeah. That is very interesting. And like they say around Shiprock over in New Mexico, there's a lot of Bigfoot sightings. There's been a ton of people that have come up the last week. just about this area.

Ship Rock and, and let's see what else. Four corners, of course. Have that whole, whole area. There was a lake. What was the lake? It was Morgan Lakes.

A guy was up here a few nights ago talking about that area. Yeah. Yeah, he saw the Ozark howl, or the Navajo howler over there. That was a wild, wild story. Yeah. No doubt about it. There's something that night, you know,

but we don't know what it is. It sounds like a lady's greener. Yeah, no doubt. Yeah. Well, I appreciate you coming up and sharing your second encounter with us. Thank you so much, sir. Thank you. Bye.

Hi, how are you? Yes, how are you doing? I'm good. Thank you. So this past October, I went camping with my daughter, and we were in Yellowwood State Park in, I think it's in Nashville, Indiana. And, you know, it's very thick woods there and we set up our tent and we went to bed. And in the middle of the night, I think it was around two in the morning.

I woke up and I heard some slamming on wood. It sounded like something was hitting trees. And of course, it scared us half the death. But then the next part is what scared me the most. Something sounded like it was sighing, like it was losing patience. Like when someone goes, hmm. And my daughter's like, mom. What is that? I'm like, you know, I don't know.

You know, we live here in Indiana. I never heard an animal do that in the woods. I don't think coyotes do that. I've never heard a raccoon do that. You know, we didn't know what it was and it went on. But the strange thing about it is when I heard that sound, we didn't hear any other sounds. Like kind of the crickets kind of shut up. Everything else around us, quieted out. The minute it had dawn, we started packing up. we were going to stay the three nights.

We made it that one night and we left the next day. I told her I can't handle this. And the funny thing is that we went out there and we talked about Bigfoot the whole time. Like, oh, what if we see Bigfoot? Because we watch all the documentaries and, you know, we get all excited about it. But the minute it got dark, man, my feelings just changed. And I was like, it's too dark to leave. So we'll just make it through the night.

And we did. but you know we're not the type of people that look for boogeyman behind every branch or all this stuff but i'll never forget that and that was just this past october so i don't i don't know i mean okay it could have been but who knows you know well here's the thing so if you if you go up my website's bigfoot society podcast dot com and there's a siting map there and i have reports in brown County State Park. Yeah. Story, Indiana, like all around that Yellowwood area. Yeah, they say. I've talked to people up there. Yes. Yes, I've heard about the Monroe Lake area. So I want to go back, but she moved to another country, you know, she's an adult, but I think I'm going to

ask my husband to come with me or I'm going to try to get some other ladies or something to go with me. I'm definitely not going back by myself. But yeah, it's exciting to know, but, you know, It also scared us half to death. That's awesome. That's a really great story. Thank you for sharing. I just found you on the FYP. I was just looking for Bigfoot stuff and you just happened to appear so I followed your page.

So thank you. Oh, thank you so much. That's a great thing that's on FIP. Yeah. Well, good stuff. Thank you for coming up and chatting. Well, thank you. I'll keep listening.

Bye. All right. Thank you. Hey, Jen. Hey. How's it going? Sir, I don't hope what I have to. Good, good.

Thanks for coming up. Oh, thank you. What I have to say, I hope I don't put people to sleep. I don't know. Where are you broadcasting from? I am out of Central Iowa. Oh, okay. Yeah, so you're like three hours or two hours.

Is that Central time? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, well, I'm from Chicago originally, but I live in SoCal now. I live near the San Bernardino Mountains. I could see him from my front, you know, yard, the mountains, and I go in there all the time.

It's like eight miles. I get to the Deep Creek Trailhead, and I've just been just exploring. I did see a dog man when I was into Hatchapie. I was on the 58 heading east. I was right near the crest of the mountains, and I looked down and I saw this thing looking on all fours out of a creek. I was in a rental truck driving my daughter back from San Francisco. and I only saw it for like five, six, seven seconds,

because, I mean, I didn't want to crash. If I would have do it over, I would have pulled over and taken pictures. But, you know, you don't think of that. I'm shocked. I'm like, oh, my God, I can't believe I'm seeing this. Because I do write books about these things, and I'm blessed to say I could see it from a safe distance because these things are not necessarily something you want to get too close to.

But anyways, where I live, I go down and I explore the Pacific the Crest Trail, which runs from South America all the way up to Canada. And I just walked not too far. I walk around and I found during the fires, the line fire, which was September, October, 24, I think. I saw so many weird tracks. I cannot tell you. I wrote a book. I'm not trying to push my book, by the way, but I took pictures.

Well, it's just, I just published it. It's called. images of cryptids in their tracks in the San Bernardino Mountains. The Booker Chronicles Volume 3. I met a guy out of Ohio, Mr. Black. He died a couple years ago. But anyways, I found the weirdest prints. And I found a huge big footprint leading up to what I call the Rock Bridge.

I have a TikTok channel. I show all this stuff on there. I found it. Think of it like a bird foot or whatever you call it, you know, three like thin, I don't even know what they're called, appendages and a little palm or something. I found one like that that was like the size of like a size 10 shoe. I couldn't believe it. And it's in the book.

I don't even know what it is. I also found, I little doubt it's a couple dog man prints. And I went just literally, okay, it was about, we had a bunch of rain, about a month ago and I went because you know I figured I could walk around and you're going to see prints with all that rain because it is a high desert and so it's the ground is normally very hard but I found a really deep I mean like three two to three inches recessed in the ground print that was probably I think it was about 16 inches long seven inches wide and I kind of freaked me out because I tend to walk I walk by myself I don't have anybody

with me and so when you you're out there, you know, you start, you know it is. You start, you start having those feelings. All of a sudden, you realize it's quiet. But when I saw that print, I said, this has got to be a big footprint. There's no way, unless there's some big man walking around, you know, barefoot. It wasn't a foot. It wasn't a shoe print. But it's amazing what's out there. I, you know, I have taken some images. People could question an image is subjective, but I have taken pictures. I went with a friend of mine up to Cactus Flats, which is just north of Big Bear along Highway 18, 6,000 feet. And we found some tracks there. And he took a picture.

And I think it's a dog man pup in the tree. And it's in the book. I blew it up. And I mean, it looks to me like a pup. It's probably about, I don't know, 15 feet off the ground in this tree. And so where I live, there's dog man, big foot. They're all over the place. and I've interviewed people who've actually seen these things.

And like I said, I saw a dogman creature in April 2020. That was into Hatchby. Have you talked to anyone over by Cressline or Lake Arrowhead? No. I mean in terms of witnesses or? Yeah. Yeah. No, but I know Crestline, that famous, that woman that passed away took footage of that big foot up in the tree.

That Crestline is literally 30. minutes away from me up the mountain. I have interviewed people. There's a spot called Dead Man's Point. It's where Highway 18 and Big Bear, I'm sorry, Highway 18 and Bear Valley Road meet. They intersect. And I've interviewed two people that have seen Dog Man crossing this intersection. I don't know why. And they're pretty credible witnesses. And there's also been people have seen Bigfoot, you know, all around. the San Bernardino Mountains, which would be between Lucerne Valley, which is to the north and Big Bear Lake, which is to the south, but of course, up in the mountain. So it's pretty interesting. I literally live like, you know, in an area where they're here. So I find that interesting. Unfortunately, I'm by myself. I haven't quite, I don't got or have anybody that wants to go with me yet.

And so it is a little dicey. I'm a little bit, I'm a little bit nervous sometimes. But, you know, when I hit, when the antennas go up, I get nervous, I leave. You know, I try to tap into my instincts. In fact, on Monday a couple days ago, I was out and I had this sudden, I know it sounds crazy, but I had this sudden, I was walking through these two bushes, and I had this sudden feeling like, stop, don't go any further. And I'm looking around.

I don't see anything. And Mr. Black taught me, you know, don't run, back out slowly. And that's what I did. And I got back up on the trail because I was off the Pacific Crest Trail. It was just kind of walking around. And I just got out of there. So I try to tap into my instincts. To be honest with you, when I walk through the Pacific Crest Trail, my biggest fear is really a rattlesnake.

I don't want to get bit by a rattlesnake, especially if I'm alone. And in Mahbbi Green, you'll be dead in an hour. And then the other thing is I don't want to find a dead. body and I have a couple times experienced the smell of death it was a dead they were dead animals but it's it's a very creepy feeling so oh boy oh my goodness Jim your books do you have your the witnesses you've talked to do you have those in those books well yeah the the the one called my search for dog man I wrote that like five years ago

Yes, their witnesses are in there. There's images. Mr. Black who passed away. He's from Southwest, Ohio, and he lived in an area right by Cincinnati where it was just teeming with these things. And he would send me all kinds of pictures. And that would be the Booker Chronicles, Volume 2. Volume 1 was his diary that he sent to me. I still have it.

Volume 2 were these images. And he talks about how to deal with these creatures, you know, how the bigfoot and the dog man interact. How, you know, what do you do if you see a dog man? When you do you see a big foot? Like, for example, you don't dare shoot out a big foot. You got a war, he said, a dog man, you shoot at it. It'll, you know, eventually, you know, it'll forget about it. But he said, unless you have to, don't shoot at a big foot because they are, they're going to get revenge.

They're not going to let you get away with it. that's what he that's what he taught yes that's what he taught and he said they they they've stayed a lot of times they're together they hunt together you know the dog man it'll be put but anyways i go on and on is this this this this is the same guy that you he was on saskatch chronicles a bit right he might have been i don't know he was on uh vic cundiff's dogman encounters radio a couple times okay i think he used the name john but he was a great man He was a Christian man. He was my friend. I mean, I was so sad. I just talked to his widow about a month ago, and he passed away. He just shocked me, but he shared all this information

with me, and I told him, we got to get this out there because he lived with these creatures. And so the Booker Chronicles, Volume 1 is just his diary of daily encounters. And in volume two is him explaining, how do you live with these things? And he basically said, you know, they're God's creatures. They're here to stay. You've got to learn to live with them. you know so wow that's that's fascinating stuff man i'll i'll have to check out uh your books for sure jim thank you for coming up oh you're welcome thanks for everything you do it really helps uh you know it's all about research and getting the word out there that this stuff is real absolutely absolutely man well you have a great rest of night hopefully you can hang out for a bit thank you

how are we doing sir hey pretty good not not too bad are you doing hate doing great. So let me tell you my story. It just happened recently. It was actually in Louisiana. I don't know. I mean, it's kind of weird. To be honest with you, I never really been much of a believer, you know, it's just kind of like been in the back of my mind. Kind of, okay, yeah, Bigfoot kind of thing. You know, some people have seen them. But any, I think I went on a hunting trip a few weeks ago and I was out there in the tree stand by myself and the first day, man, it was like I could hear these big tree branches snapping, right? And I could have sworn it was a deer. So I was getting ready with my, you know, with my rifle. I was getting ready to shoot. And then it was just like it was eerie because like right after, you know, I thought it was good.

coming out of the woods, it was like, eerie silence, you know. And then after that, the bird started chirping and I was like, that's kind of odd, you know, but I didn't think much of it, whatever, you know, I went back to camp. The next day, because it was a two-day trip, the next day in the evening, I went back out to a deer stand and it was like, you know, our last chance to hunt. And I was out there and it was the evening time. and again, you know, I started hearing these tree branches, like it sounded like some big sticks breaking. And all of a sudden, it was kind of like huge rocks hitting trees and they're like kind of reverberated through the forest.

And I could almost feel it in my body, you know? And I was like, what is that, you know? So, you know, it was getting dark already and I'm, you know, looking around. And then all of a sudden I saw something by my. deer feeder where um the deer feeder was and it was like this it was probably i don't know i would say maybe 10 12 feet tall and but i couldn't really make it out so i put you know i got the binoculars out and i looked into binoculars and i saw him he had like an eighth face and i was like wait a minute you know and then like i put the binoculars down and then i put him back up and i could

see him and at that moment whenever I saw him I was like this can't be I thought I was like I was tripping and I was like no way so then like I put the binoculars down and I put the rifle up and I put the scope on him and I can see him clear his day and I was like but as soon as I put the scope on him with my gun it was like telepathically he told me that um he was like the guardian of that section of the forest and then they were tired of us killing the deer and it was just telepathically I knew and like it was like telepathically I knew and it was like a younger version of Bigfoot you know I would say maybe I don't know what we would consider maybe 20 years old 19 years old or something like that telepathically I knew all these things and I was at that point I was just I kind of froze you know I froze and I was just like nobody's gonna believe me you know and i was like no and then i was i still was like doubting myself i was like no this is not

happening like this is not so i took my phone out and i started like trying to take a picture of it and i captured a picture but you can just see like a silhouette you know like a black silhouette and it's just um but at that point it started getting like dark so i put my rifle you know i put my i was scared you know i i had like that uh chills going down my spine and he's he was just kind of like, like, telling me like, don't do it, you know, like, just get out of here kind of thing, you know? And it was, it was telepathically. But I really don't know much about it, you know. I don't know if I saw him or not, to be honest.

But I mean, to what it, in my opinion, it was big for it, you know. Dude, that is some, that's, that's incredible. That just happened a few weeks ago, you said. Yeah, a few weeks ago. Yeah. Yeah. So Louisiana, you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but was this around Cassachi? Cassachi, I don't even know where that's had, to be honest.

It's a national forest. Oh, I don't know if it was close to there. I know we're closer to Lake Charles. We were maybe like an hour away from Lake Charles. It's a very remote location out there. Gotcha. It was out there in that area. and yeah man it was just it was just crazy you know I've never witnessed anything like that

you know it's just and it was crazy because like the day before I saw what looked like kind of like a like a silhouette going back and forth like he was pacing you know but I couldn't put two and two together and I was I was still like now I'm tripping you know maybe it was just some shadows from some birds you know whatever and uh I don't know. After I saw him and everything, it all came together. It was like, oh, he was just pacing back and forth. Like, I don't know. He didn't want me to kill any deer or something.

I don't know. How long in total would you say you were able to look at his face through the scope? Good. I would say two minutes, maybe. Like he was visible like two minutes. Yeah. That's a long time, man. A lot of people only get a few seconds.

So do you remember any specific details about what the face looked like? I mean, if you're able to see it for like two minutes, you know? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was kind of like a, it reminded me more like of like almost orangutangish. Like in my mind, it was like orangutanish, but like ape looking, ape looking. But like the very face was clear, no hair, but he had hair around that, you know. But again, he was like an adult, you know, like a younger age.

I would say, you know, I don't know if that even makes sense. But it wasn't, I knew it wasn't like an older Bigfoot. It was kind of like a younger, you know, what looked like younger, like a younger version. Yeah, that's cool, man. I usually hear the orangutan thing from southeast Alaska. So that's kind of a new thing to hear it from down where you're at. Did you have any emotion? Emotion, I would say, to be honest, I didn't feel threatened.

Like, I didn't feel threatened. It was more just like, um, like just don't like he was more like, uh, like I said, like more of a guardian type. You know, it was like just get out of here kind of thing, you know? Gotcha. Gotcha. Did you notice anything about the eyes, color, or what they looked like, anything like that? Oh, man. I would say, I don't know.

It's just looking like dark brownish, maybe, you know, just darker. I know it was darker. Like I said, it was, it was already dark. It was in the evening, it was an evening hunt. So it was already, you know. I got you. Yeah, yeah, gotcha, got you. Well, man, that is, that is wild.

Have you been back to the area since then? No, no, no. That was the last time. I mean, I caught a picture and then I showed it because I was like, man, nobody's going to believe me about this, you know? And I was like, because like other paranormal stuff has happened, you know, but like nothing with Bigfoot, you know, like spiritual stuff has happened, but not this ever, you know.

It wasn't really much on my radar, to be honest. but the rocks, whenever I heard the rocks pounding, like the trees were reverberated, that was like a very distinct thing. I don't even know if that's a thing, but. And then the huge tree branches breaking. So you got a picture of this thing? Yeah, I do. It's just blurry. Like, man, it was the craziest thing because, like, I put my phone out.

I pulled my phone out. And it was like you know I was messing with the focus and everything and then like I got it to where because on one side I had two deer feeders out The one on the right side was uh there was still like a little bit of daylight there you could still see like a small bit but the other one where he was at was darker so I pulled out my phone and like I've tried to focus to where the The clear one was at and I put it on him well as soon as I put it on him like my phone settings changed and it was just blurry. It was the craziest thing. I don't know Yep. No, I've heard that happening with, happened with video cameras, actually. Oh, really? Is that something where you would feel comfortable sending it to my email to share it? I would love to take a look at it, even if it's blurry.

Yeah, absolutely. Okay, cool. Awesome. It is, it's Bigfoot Society at gmail.com. And yeah, I would love, I'd love to see it, man. Yeah, absolutely, brother. Yeah, I'll send it over here in a little bit whenever I get home. I'll be home in like 10 minutes. I'm picking up my daughter right now.

I'm sending it far, but I will send it over. Awesome. Right. Awesome. Dude, thank you. Thank you for sharing that. If anything else, weird starts to happen after that. Let me know about email.

I'd be curious to know if other stuff is going on. 100%. All right. All right. All right, brother. You have a good night. You too. That's extremely, extremely interesting.

The Irish, how are you? Hello. Hey, thanks for coming up. Feel free to share what you had to happen. Yeah, I had an experience back in the late 90s. Okay. Well, I was going to high school and everything. I was sophomore, junior or freshman to sophomore year.

I was friends with someone, and we always share fishing stories. So we get to talking about fishing stories. And so I decided to say, hey, you're going fishing this weekend. You want to come stay the weekend with me or go stay the weekend with you? Yeah, sure. And he has fishing spots down the road from his house, and I have fishing spots down the road from my house.

and this here is in South Carolina and so we get the talking and everything and we say yes so decided to go spend the weekend with him and his father said he's got some good camping spots that we can go and go fishing at but it's like we went every where we went to to go camping it was loaded with people and loaded with people that's really rowdy and everything and you could tell when we pulled up how rowdy everybody was with drinking and so many bomb fires all the way down you could see like 20 30 bomb fires alongside one of the rivers so we decided to go somewhere else and it got dark on us so my friend's father said let's pull over and we went down this dirt road alongside this other river that I knew that I camped down there before I never had the

experience like not even five miles from the location and we was like three football fields away from alongside this river that's in Gallupesbury, South Carolina. And it's a dirt road that takes you the back way to Sandy Bluff, and it comes out next to another major highway, I think is 917, between 917 and 501 highway. And it both takes you to Myrtle Beach or North Myrtle Beach. so we decided it's already 9 o'clock and it's dark and he said he don't want to get down there and it'd be packed too so let's just pull off here camping is camping you know and we get up in the morning and we'll walk to the river and we'll fish the river from where we're at and we're like

three football fields away from it so we decided to set up tent and why we we're setting up tents we kept hearing like tree knocks and it's already dark and we got our landerings lit up and everything we built a fire and we heard the tree knocks some more and i was like what is the tree knocks i knew i have heard this before on tv and i was like 15 16 years old at the time 17 maybe and my friend's father says

oh it's just a noise in the woods the trees rubble gets each other sometimes and yeah I understand I heard it squeak and crack and whatnot but this is something else so he just said nothing just don't worry about

it so all of a sudden after we lay down and everything and get in cuddled in for tonight. We hear tree knocks again, but further away in the opposite direction. And I hear my friend's father get an unzip because we had a tent and him and his, what, his father and mother had a tent. And then we shared a tent with,

my friend and his younger brother. So we just all, so there's five of us all together. And I was like, what's going on? And my friend says, I don't know, just stay here. So I, I just stayed put for a little bit. And I hear the tree knocks again. And all of a sudden, I hear like big branches snapping.

and they're getting closer and closer like something was running through the woods and i get up and i unzipped and get out of the tent and i just stood there and it is pitch black in the shadows the only thing i can see is from the moonlight and the ground is all white like snow because that area next to the river is all sandy like the beach and that's all i can see and then all of a sudden i see a shadow moving in between the shadows and the moonlight coming closer and closer and it was my friend running back says get everything get back in the car we got to get out of here and his father was already out there and all of a sudden i hear something else coming through the woods from the opposite direction coming towards us and it was doing the same thing and next or snapping breaking limbs and

and i hear twigs break and sticks break but when i say limbs break i mean some that's like six inches in diameter and bigger and i because my uh friend's father had a 357 that went out into the woods ahead of everybody else we heard one gunshot and by the mile a mile and a half away we heard a wolf and the one to the left of us not the one to the right because we heard the walk to the right of us in the distance and the first ones that we heard coming through the woods with the tree not and the breaking of the lens let out a roar and when he let out this roar it's like every tingle in your body just like shivered up your spine and that every little gurgle of the roar like it was so beastie I had that I don't know how to explain it but

it was more like a or I can't pronounce it, but it's in the middle of a roar like her gurgling in the middle of it. And every time it gurgled, it's like the tingling sensation and that's going up, you're shivering up your spine, tinged like echoes with it.

And my friend looked at me while we was grabbing our, our book bags and stuff and our fishing poles after we heard the gunshots we come back through and look down the way that his father went we went ahead to the car and loaded up the car next thing i know here comes his father with his shirt torn all up the pieces and he had a red mark across his forearm where he said that when he was exact time he pulled the trigger something from behind the like the evergreen it looks like a christmas tree tight bush that or tree something reached out and grabbed him and knocked this hand down at the same time he pulled the trigger

and when he turned and went to run away he trip and he said that whatever had grabbed his hand went to grab him and pulled him up by the struff and let out another roar and he fell out ripped out of his shirt because of the weight and how strong he had pulled him up he fell to the ground and when he was coming up he was coming up he was coming back to the car, he was holding his arm like it was broke. My goodness. And the next thing I know, we just got in, he got in the car, cranked it up, and we just took off down the road. And I haven't been back to that place since then. And I never heard this before because we literally camp, had a campsite with a camper right there at the edge of the river. and we never heard any tree knocks or anything.

So I guess there's only certain territories that we be in in the certain territories they have. But I never... Yeah, I don't know if I'd go back, to be honest. Yeah, I never seen nothing. I've heard things, tree knocks and like funny whistles or funny like whoops growing up, playing around in the edge of the rivers and everything.

But I never had that type of experience where something just roar or ground and you could just feel the tingling sensation and it echo and it vibrates, the tinglingness just vibrates through your spine. And it makes your heart just, it makes your heart just feel like it just fall out. From the, I, I, his father again, and his father had his arm bandaged up. And, and he had, uh, and like two or three days after that,

I would come by his house to check him out. And he had a big bruise on his hand. Oh, man, really? Oh, that's wild. That is wild. And he looked at me and he said, I knew I shouldn't have stopped there, but I thought it would be okay. Because he grew up camping right down the dirt road from where we camped at alongside the river. And he said he never had the experience.

But he told, he did say that he was told to. not camp outside of the area. Okay. Wow. Oh, man, that is that is some crazy stuff. People need to be aware of that area for sure. Man, thank you for coming up and sharing what you guys experienced there. Yeah, I really appreciate you having me up. I never really actually told anybody this because a lot of times people don't want to hear.

things that they have not never actually experienced their self. So I just kept it to myself because there's been a lot of times I've seen something and I try to tell somebody and they never believe me. Man, that's a long time to not tell something. I'm glad you're able to tell it tonight. Then you have other people talking to other people. Oh, yeah, he saw this. I'm trying to make fun of it.

you and everything or in life. You're pretty easy. It does not feel good, man. Doesn't feel good. That's why I do this so that people have a spot to talk about it. But, Irish, thank you so much for coming up. I do appreciate you chatting tonight, man. Thank you for having me.

Hi there. How are you? Hey, what's going on, man? How are you? Hi there. Hey, doing well. Feel free to share what you've experienced. So I'm going to share one of my buddies's experience.

He lives on the border of California. Mexico and I'm on the Tijuana Valley region. And he has a big, large farm homestead. And I actually shared a few stories with you previously under a name, Steve Miller. And this is like the exact same occurrence that was happening to my buddies in Rome, New York. Okay, sorry, real quick. Do you have something turned on in the background? It's like repeating a lot.

I don't know if it's. Okay, I think we're good now. Okay. Okay, go ahead. about that. So, um, my buddy the other night, he called me panicking from, um, SoCal. I'm going to have to go out there. And, um, it's not letting me display all the photo evidence of what we have. But, um, just two nights ago, my buddy woke up to, um, one of his animals got ripped out of the cages again. But it's like completely barricaded. And, and they're, they left everything behind. There's the K-I-L-L-S-I-T-E that the site of everything. I have all the photo evidence. So get this, right? Yeah, Rome, New York.

Get this, man. My buddy woke up the other night. He heard a whoop. And then he looks in the window. And he said that it was so big that there was a whole black mass. It took up the whole window. So he wanted to look. And before he could even make a move or anything,

he said within a millisecond it was gone. So within a few seconds past, He, you know, kind of tries to go back to sleep, and then he wakes up to his lamb making crazy noises. And something snatched up his lamb. I have all the photo evidence of Sun destroyed the site, like ripped it all up. And I have the video. It won't let me show the video. I have the scat of it.

He had investigators pull up to investigate some popular man named Chris, and he was completely stunned. He said that he doesn't know what. this poop could be. He says he doesn't know what it all is. And it's not letting me show all this. I'm going to try and show you this poop. It's next to his foot that's a size 12. And this poop has to be, man, it's like a three foot poop. Okay. And not just that. I have the footprints with you can see the toe indentation and everything. And you could see like the complete K-I-L-S-I-T of the lamb. It left the. intestines it didn't eat it and there's not any blood left on the absolute scene so um that he

locked into it and he said that supposedly it sucks the b l o the out completely out of the animals so it's the whole sight that i have with just the intense the intestine out the poop that it left and giant footprints with the animal completely missing with no blood and and this what you said this is on the mexico border yeah and the investigators completely He said like he's never seen poop like this. It's, I don't know why it's not letting me show you this. Let me try to get in this. It's not letting me show my phone.

I have all the screenshots of it and it's insane, man. Once the investigator came and seen this, he said straight up, there's some weird stuff going on and it also left the stack of rocks. There's a pile of rocks right next to the K-I-L-S-I-T-E, where they believe it took the lamb. And there's like seven stones that are perfectly placed up on the Bigfoot investigator. His name is Chris from SoCal. Yeah. Was he from the BFRO?

Where is you from? I'm not too positive on that. But I don't know why it's not letting me pull this up right now. Man, I'm kind of upset because I have all this photo evidence to show you right now. Man, this is unfair. You can always email it to me if you want. You send me an email at Bigfoot Society, gmail.com. I can take a look at it that way.

Definitely. This says live access is needed to go. You can go live on audio. I don't know what I have to do to show you this. I don't know how it's not letting me pull this. I don't know. That's weird. That's weird.

This is unfortunate because these are some significant. I have the screenshot. I have two military helicopters that came to investigate after the scene as well. And they were circling them all day. So I used the transponder to figure out what it was. And then I had my buddy figure out what it was. And he told me that they were using the heat signatures to track them because he's the military. So he used it in code wards.

And he told me that the military that was in his exact area, I told him the transponders. And he looked into it. And he said that they were using the heat signatures to trace them. That's really interesting. Yeah. I hope you can send me an email. That sounds extremely interesting to look at. Thank you, man. It's some real stuff. I'm just really disappointed in TikTok. I won't let me pull this up. I might have to switch into a different account and then pop right back in if that's okay to show you. Maybe that would be it.

Yeah, we will see if that works out. I don't know. I'm going to be on here for a few more minutes. But send me an email, though. I think that would be better in this case. All right, if you don't mind. Definitely. Awesome. All right. Well, thank you so much for coming up, man. Thank you. Appreciate your time.

And I'll see you there. 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've 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 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, and you're not alone.
