Bigfoot Society - Marines vs. The Bigfoot! | California

Episode Date: August 25, 2025

What happens when a young Marine pulls night guard duty in the snowy mountains of Bridgeport, California — and ends up face-to-face with something massive, breathing, and alive in the moonlit tree line? In this gripping episode of the Bigfoot Society Podcast, Jeremiah Byron hosts a collection of raw, first-hand accounts from across the U.S., recorded live on TikTok. You’ll hear a Marine’s harrowing 1995 encounter during cold-weather training, a Pennsylvania nurse’s bone-shaking roar experience, a firsthand perspective from the infamous “Big Muddy Monster” incident in Murphysboro, and chilling sightings from Florida’s swamps to Ohio’s deep woods. From the scent of barbecue luring green-eyed giants to a Sasquatch stepping onto a highway in three strides, these are stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

Thanks for listening to Bigfoot Society. I'm Jeremiah Byron. Today you're going to hear a lot of accounts from all over the U.S., from people from really one side to the other. This is a collection of impromptu call-in encounters from the TikTok live platform.

You've never heard a collection like this. You're in for a treat. Now, these are raw encounters you won't want to miss, so stay with us. Hey, Pooxter, how are you? Hey, what's going on? Hey, I sent you a request to see if you would be willing to come up and chat about what you experienced. I'm not sharing it. I mean, it was 95, late 95, probably October and November, because I just had my birthday. My unit was sent to Bridgeport, California, which is in Northern California, up in the Rockies.

It's their cold weather mountainous training area. It's called the Mountain Training Warfare Center in Bridgeport. Everything started out. We were on a normal routine, you know, practice patrol. stopped for the evening. There was supposed to have been some cadre or instructors that were following us, telling us to see how we were handling ourselves, see if we were following proper procedures, cold weather training, big up there.

The cadre is really strict, so they teach you classes and they send you out. So we bivouacked. maybe what we were probably 50 45 50 yards from a tree line sorry excuse me I was I was a team I was a young team leader three other guys under my control and I decided I was gonna pull guard duty so my guys could get some rest and one of the other guys that I was friends with He had decided to get up. I don't know why, but he went up by the tree line to take a leak.

And I'm waiting. I'm walking the perimeter of a little circle that we got in our huts. The little hoochers, two-man shelter half-tenths. And I see him come running back. And he wouldn't look at me, he wouldn't talk to me. He walked straight past me. He says, you know, I got to get out of here. Let's get out of here.

He was just mumbling and walked past me. He wouldn't respond. He wouldn't respond. So I decided, you know, I had to relieve myself. So I decided I'd go over there where he was at. And I had just gotten divorced, so being out there in the woods and being out there. night it was so peaceful um i was i was just enjoying it because it there had been you know back home and back on base it's just a lot of chaos and lawyers and the divorce and the kids and

everything so i'm i'm standing there and i'm looking and i mean there's no wind it's it's a real calm night um very gentle breeze uh and i was look i was looking and i noticed it looked like like somebody was standing just inside a tree line. You can see their breath and it was floating up through the edges of the trees. So I'm looking and I'm looking and I just, you know, I mean, like I said, this is a training center. All we have are a Cinnon ignition, it's blank rounds. But, you know, I'm carrying my rifle and I just, you know,

I'm trying to look, I'm trying to look through the sight, the scope to see if I can see what's in the tree line. And I don't see anything right away, but I kept, for some reason, my, my buddy, my buddy, Jeff, he just, what he was saying in the way he was acting when he came barreling past me, he's kind of stuck in my head. So I'm checking it out. I'm checking it out. And I'm thinking, okay, one of the instructors or, you know, maybe my platoon sergeant or something is standing there watching us, you know, with us. And I approached the tree line. Now, I'm probably at this point, maybe 20 yards, maybe a little bit less than 20 yards away from the tree line. And the branches in this one tree in this one spot, it was pitch black in this spot.

And the branches started just gently swaying back and forth. But nothing down the tree line did. You look down the line towards the downhill and you follow the tree line. Nothing else is really swaying. This one tree is kind of just erratically kind of moving back and forth and then it'll stop, slow down, and then it's moving back and forth. I got to about 10 yards and I heard it vocalize. I really can't The closest

I can describe it is if anybody has ever heard not a threatening roar but it's the weirdest sound but lions tend to make it sometimes before they roll it's not a growl, it's not a roar

it's something in between and I froze I am not afraid not afraid of any man on the face of the earth. And this scared me. I literally defecated in my pants. But I stood there. I was frozen.

And when I could move, I don't know, look, I don't know what, what possessed me, but I kept looking to, I have to find out what this is. I got to,

I got to find out, this is, you know, this is my stash, aren't this. One of the instructors, it's somebody messing with me. And I didn't,

at the time, time I was young. I was 23, 24, I just turned 24 years old. And I was 10 foot tall and bulletproof. You know, every, every young Marine thinks he is. And when I moved, it stepped out or stepped to the side, but the moonlight caught it. Now, this thing, I had to, at 10 yards away from it, I still had to lift my head up. The shoulders in the head area of this of this thing. So my best estimate is, my best estimate is 9.5 to 10 foot. And it huffed. And I snapped out of it.

And I couldn't turn my, excuse me, I couldn't turn my back towards it. I did not feel comfortable, but I knew I had to, I knew I had to leave. I knew I had to get out of there. So I, I, I, I, I quartered off and kind of half sideways walk, like a crab walk, looking at it, looking at the Bivouac area, looking at it, looking back towards where everybody was. After, I mean, it seemed like forever, but it probably only took me maybe a minute, and a half, two minutes to get back to the area. I found Jeff and I'm like tell me what

tell me what happened he's like nothing I don't know what you're talking about nothing happened not a clue now I can tell he was lying to me because he's smoking a cigarette and his hand is you can see the cherry of the cigarette his hand is just all over the place the cherry's bouncing around and I just looked at him and I said you saw that And he looked me dead in the eyes and he said, he said, Dave, I didn't see anything.

That's what I'm, that's what I'm going to tell everybody. I said, well, if you didn't see anything, why would you tell anybody? And from then on, he, he didn't even, he wouldn't even say anything. He just, he shut down completely. We finished out our watch and I stayed up the rest. I, there's no way I was going back to sleep. but I finished my watch, woke up my relief, and I couldn't take my eyes off of that spot.

I just couldn't. I mean, I didn't notice. I didn't hear anything after that. I mean, you know, 25, you know, 25, 30 yards away. I thought I still saw the trees and in the limb shaking and swaying, but I couldn't be sure. All I know is that for. for the rest of that patrol,

it felt like you get that feeling that you're being watched, somebody staring at you. Anybody with kids knows, you know, a kid wakes up early in the morning or standing at the end of the bed. You could be in a deep sleep

and they're just standing there staring at you, not saying a word, and you're going to wake up and look at you. You know, I mean, you can feel it. But, yeah, that was, that was, like you said, that was,

early to mid-November of 95, as like I said, I had just turned 23 in October. And it's, it was crazy. I won't say it changed me. I'm not obsessed with it, but, I mean, it was, I'm not going to lie, it was a terrifying experience. I can't, I can't quantify to explain to somebody. terrifying doesn't meet the level or the threshold of giving somebody an idea of what that would like. But I mean, I'm six foot one. And I know even at 10, you know, 10 or so yards, give or take a yard or two.

Like I said, it was dark out. It was full moon, moonlight. But, I mean, I had to lift, raise my head to look up to see this thing. head and shoulder area, and it was just massive. I mean, there's no, there's, there's no way it was human. I mean, unless it was some idiot, unless it was some idiot on a military base and on stilts, trying to, trying to mess with people, there's no, I mean, there's no, there's, there's, it wasn't human. There's no way it could have been.

It was too broad. A lot of it was shadow, so I can't say exactly, but I mean, judging from the size of the shadow that I did see, it was, I mean, it was roughly a good four, four and a half foot wide, at least. And it just looked like a half circle on top of a just massive shadow. So I didn't get to see any, I didn't get to see really any details of nose, lip structure, cheekbone structure, none of that. But I didn't see, like a lot of people ask, did you see eyes shine? Did their eyes glow? I didn't see any of that. It was just, you can tell it was, you can tell it was hairy. Not fur, not furry, but hairy.

saggy unkempt if I'd hazard a guess to see how long it was it was probably in the six to eight inch range long hair hanging off of it but it's impossible to really be definitive about that because of the shadow the pure fact that it was just

you know the middle of the night and full moon, be definitive about that because of the shadow. The pure fact that it was just, you know, the middle of the night in a full moon, it's, you know, your eyes can play tricks on you. But, I mean, I probably wouldn't have thought anything of it at all if, if Jeff hadn't, you know, come back into the baby site and, you know, scared and shaking like he was. I probably wouldn't at all. And at first I didn't because I went back up there to the same spot.

you know that's you know that was our spot to relieve ourselves so you know if i thought there was something up there i'm not you know going to unalive myself or take a chance on something unaliving my to you know i mean i'm curious but not that curious wow what that is that is simply i mean that's just extremely wild uh thank you for sharing that account of of what happened to when you were in and the service and thank you for your service as well. But I just want to say thank you for coming up and for sharing what you experienced that night. Yeah, for sure, no problem, man. Richie, how are you?

Hey, good. How are you? Good. It's been a while, man. It's good to hear from that. And I don't know if a lot of people have heard my story before, so I wanted to give it. I shared it a few before. First of all, originally from Butler County, Pennsylvania, a small town called Shakora.

Now I reside in Las Vegas. Been a nurse for almost 40 years. Mine happened, my experience happened in, I want to say, fall of 91. A buddy and I were on would do kiting, and when I say that, I don't mean, your Walmart kite. I'm talking we built them out of Bossawood, the Chinese kind. Really take our time with them. So we went out to the fields lived on a farm went out to the fields, middle of the fields in the fields in Pennsylvania and New York are so much different than the fields in like Nebraska, Iowa where everything is totally flat.

We have those rolling fields with hills, valleys, dreams, everything like that. I've been out there right before Twilight. And right in the middle, we got our kites up. He's probably a good football field away from me. We heard dis noise, and I call it a noise, because to try to describe it as a scream, as a yell, as a yell like the gentleman just said as a roar but the noise was so abdominal

thrusted it was that you could feel it in your chest and mind you when we're in the middle of the field we're about a good oh I want to say at least three football fields in either direction of the wood line so it really had to come traveling and hit us like that. And it was so loud. He started railing in his kite. I tried to reel mine in, but I was just too erratic

that I just cut my line. And I got the heck out of there, waited for him to roll down, and then he was coming on to meet me in the field. And he was like, Rich, what is that? And I'm like, it's not a bear. That's for certain.

And mind you, prior to this, prior to nursing school, we had to take all these electives. And I took college prep English. And in literature, we had to do a piece on American folklore. Hi, Diva. It's Rachel. And Jordan. Yeah, hi. Quick question.

And I fell in love with Bigfoot at that time. right out like my senior year in high school starting into college and Really researched sit but then started to watch it and I remember watching that old movie that Boggy Creek one with dad But then my sister and I were just giggling because we remember that my uncle Jim came over and all this about a month ago. We talked about this We remember this movie and it was an early early bigfoot movies from the second And we're thinking it had two guys from a university.

And at the end of it, the one had lied to the other and said that the creature has been circling the camp. And mind you, I think the one guy's name was Paco, but I can't remember the name of this movie. And it just, we tried to find it on Netflix, and it's hard to do that when you don't know the name of the movie. But so if anybody knows that, please shoot me a message. But it was like an early 70s, late 70s, Bigfoot movie that my dad and Uncle Jim had got for the whole family to watch. But it was really good.

But that was my experience and just something I'll never forget. And even to this day, before I moved to Nevada, the people in Butler County that hunt for Bigfoot in Pennsylvania, they'd be like, come on aboard and you can be a nurse and I'm like okay but one thing I'm not going into the woods I'll stay at the camp and if you fall and get hurt you carry your butt to me or you get the guys to carry your butt because after that roar after that noise after that sound I will never go into woods again

never because like I said the death The loudness that it was, it had to come from something so massive. And I just don't want to see it. Do I want to see it? Absolutely. Sort of like that Santa Claus M&M thing. Oh, he does exist. Oh, yes.

He does exist. And then everybody passes out. Right. Yeah. My luck, I would be the one passing out and he would carry me away in the sleeping bag or by my foot or something. But no. There you go.

Do you remember the movie in the 70s? to have those two guys. It was, so it wasn't Boggy Creek, right? Do you recall a movie like that in the late 70s, mid-70s, something like that with the two guys from the university? I personally don't. I personally don't. Boggy Creek came out, and I'm thinking it was after it.

Okay. Hmm. I don't know, but I kind of want to know, too. Yeah. I kind of want to know too. But, man, Richie, thanks. for coming up and thank you for sharing your account again. I appreciate it. Yes, thank you. All right. There was an individual I'm going to try to reach out to because he probably had an

amazing story. So let's see if this individual can come up in chat. Hey, Bob. This is Jeremiah. How are you? Jeremiah. Hey, I was seeing your comments and it sounds like you have a very cool story because I'm aware of the, you know, the big muddy monster of Murphy's Borough. Is it okay if I use the audio from this conversation for my podcast? Yeah. Yeah, that's fine. All right. Fantastic. Yeah, feel free to share what you remember of being involved with that situation. Well, there's a lot of on that incident actually my uh my dad last year just had um somebody track them down and did uh did a documentary and put it up on um i don't remember if it was the history channel or whatever my dad

has the video footage of uh several documentaries of it but But my dad was the owner of the salvage yard in Murphy, mid to late 80s when the incident happened. And I don't know if you're familiar with Illinois or not. But Murphy's Burroughs, a little bit south of Carbondale. A lot of people know where Carbondale is. It's a college town. But yeah, it happened in the nights. My dad had some security guards out there at a salvage yard.

He was having theft issues. So they were doing shifts driving around. My dad was there that evening. And they noticed typical, you know, the foul older, something. They noticed a figure, kind of a silhouette of a figure. And my dad, they were walking through the salvage yard and they shined his lights, shined his flashlight on it and had red eyes, screamed at him. And his deputy had a 38 or 357.

He was fixing to pull it out. My dad's like, no, no, no. don't do that you'll just upset it I I have a feeling I know what this is and they got back in their little patrol vehicle and and got out of the salvage yard and a couple footprints and some hair fibers was found the next morning and next thing you know the news media and and the troops came all in and they had traffic Packers come in and look into it and found some bedding and found the trail. And yeah, but it was there for there for about a couple weeks, about a month or so.

It was all over town. They even had somebody dress up as one of them in the Apple Festival parade. Because it was, and it wasn't the first, it wasn't the first scene there. We have the Little Muddy River and the Big Muddy River in that area. And we also have Shawnee National Forests in the area. So, but they call it the Big Muddy Monster where I'm from. It's a fascinating story. I actually have the book right here.

Yeah. And I was actually looking at the chapter about the, it's called Terror in the Salvage Yard, which you were talking about because you lived it. And there you were. So you were 15 years old, 15 years old at that time, right? Yeah. Yep. You're referenced in this chapter. I'm reading it right here.

That's incredible to talk to you. Wow. Wow. Do you remember other things that were happening around the area at the same time regarding these sightings? Not so much as a 15-year-old. I mean, my attention level was probably not as direct. My dad would be the one to talk to because he really lived it. And he, you know, he's had several people track them down and talk to them about it.

I'm sure, yeah. Yeah, I got, there's some pictures of me in the news news footage, you know, and of course, you know, I got my Bermuda shorts and my tank top and I'm running around with my friends on my bike. So, you know, but I was there that night when it happened. And I just kind of played it off until the evidence started surfacing the next morning, you know. I was like, wow. Absolutely. At that time in your life, were you like, yeah, this is a real thing? Or were you thinking, man, everyone's crazy here?

To be honest with you, I have been kind of back and forth on my belief level on it, you know. but as I've grown up and really researched it as you know thoroughly with with an adult mind I can honestly say yeah they do exist and with a Christian heart I've actually done a lot in-depth research and found them found them in biblical terms in scriptures as to what what they are their passive creatures their general creatures I don't know all the stories, but as far as I can tell, they don't harm, they don't harm people. They don't, they don't go around terrorizing. And to me, and this is my theory, is they are, I don't know if you're a scriptural person or a Christian or whatever,

but to me, I can see the difference between the Genesis 2 and the Genesis 1 man. Genesis 1 man would be who I see is what we call the Bigfoot or the Sasquatch. They are the ones that were blessed with having dominion on the earth and to subdue it. And the Genesis 2 man would be the Adam, who we are from, Adam and Eve. And I see the difference. I've been reading a Bible for years, and I can see the difference in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2. But that's who I see who Sasquatch is, is that. They were blessed.

That's why they are able to be with one, with nature and in harmony in the earth. Everybody's always saying, well, why isn't there a body? How come we don't see them all around? Because they are blessed with certain gifts as far as being a natural beast man. And they were, and I could get more in depth with. it but I'm not you know I don't want you to feel you know I don't want to I don't want you to feel uncomfortable about it it is it is a very interesting theory it's the first time I've heard that one so thank you for sharing that

have there been any other things that have happened around Murphy's Borough since that time in the 80s well my dad he actually moved he moved from he moved further up north. So as far as him keeping track of what's going on, and of course, we all moved. We haven't been around that area and we haven't kept track. We've done our own research as far as since the Internet and stuff with looking into different sightings and certain things.

But as far as I know, I haven't, I haven't, nobody's mentioned anything. It is amazing to be able to talk to you, being a person that was actually there during the salvage yard incident of the big muddy monster. And just thank you for coming up and for sharing your thoughts for a few minutes. I really appreciate it, Bob. Yeah, yeah. They're not Nephilim, by the way. They're passive creatures. I don't know.

Somebody put that they're Nephilim. They're not. They're the natural beast man. A lot of people had hypothesized that they're Nephlin. But Nephlam is the Nephlem creatures were, they were destroyers of man. They would, yeah, they're definitely not Nephlam. That's why I say they're Genesis 1 man. They're in harmony with nature.

Genesis 2, we're not. We're not, a lot of people say we're not, you know, we're not created for this climate. And all the natural creatures that are out there, they are in harmony with the earth. They, they are born with coats. You know, I mean, they don't have to make their own clothes or build their own house. houses or anything like we do. Well, Bob, thank you for coming up and for sharing that again. Thanks for having me.

Bye. Good stuff, guys. I hope you realize how big a deal that was to have that guy up on stage. That's really cool to be able to talk to an individual that was involved with a very a very big part of, I mean, Midwest Bigfoot history. That's pretty cool. Hey, Jay, how are you? How about you?

Doing good, doing good. Hey, before we get started, do you mind if I potentially use the audio from this conversation for my podcast? Yeah, that's fine. All right. So, do you have an encounter to share tonight, sir? Well, I hunt a lot, you know, in the swamps down here in Florida, or hogs and deer. And I've heard some strange noises in the woods. I can't tell you what they are, but I've heard them.

Like a roar sound, I don't know, it's real early in the morning when you hear it. I mean, 4.30, 5 o'clock, you know. And you said this is in Florida? Yeah, northeast Florida. Northeast, okay. So over there by like Blackwater State Forest, that area? Well, Terabelle Ranch is connected to the Ocala National Forest. Oh, yeah.

Okay. That area is a pretty well-known area for Bigfoot, Ocala. Yep. I'm not surprised that you're having weird stuff go on right there, Jay. But years of, I say probably 20 years ago, over towards the beach, there's about a 10-mile stretch with nothing but woods on both sides. And I was going through there one afternoon on the way home from fishing, and we seen this thing come out onto 206 highway. and it took three steps to cross the highway and went down a fire trail

and I was like wow did y'all see that and the people that was with me and said no we didn't see it what was it so I stopped and we could see this thing going down the fire trail and there was five other vehicles that stopped behind me and we all we all seen it going down the fire trail and just you know looked at each other like wow what was that you know but it wasn't no

bear because I've been around bears and bobcats and stuff like that but this this thing was probably seven eight feet tall and three steps to cross the highway I mean it was pretty crazy what year would you say that was Jay I would say 97 probably okay and you said this is near the beach yeah it was probably six or eight miles from the coast from St. St. Augustine Beach. Okay, St. Augustine Beach. All right.

Gotcha. Looking that up. Okay, so this is East Coast of Florida. Yep. Wow. County Road 206. Cross is under 95. And I'd say I was probably three miles west of

At the statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. I've learned some things, like the value of the family, the importance of the job, and that the 99% of the people of more of 50 have the virus that causes the Culebrilla. Although not all the persons in risk

that will be developed, I see the eruption dolorous with ampollosures during that even the tasks more simple are all a retto. No, learn about the Culebrilla of the way difficult.

Talked today with your doctor or pharmaceutical, patrocineed for GSC. It's on that room. The noises I hear every year, and that's in Caravelle Ranch, North Caravelle Ranch, which is just a little north of the Ocala National Forest, not even two miles maybe. But it's in a swamp. We call it nine-mile swamp. I do a lot of hog hunting and deer hunting in there.

Get a permit. It's a management area. And me and my son's heard it several times. early in the morning and late, late in the afternoon. But it makes a real, they call it the Florida how. If you look it up, it's called the Florida howl. And I've looked it up and I've heard it. And it sounds just like that. I will definitely check that eye.

I think I've found exactly what you're talking about. So very interesting. You know, being down there, have you heard any other stories of people experiencing or encountering Bigfoot down there? I've heard a few different people talk about it. They were walking home, you know, and this thing was following them. And different scenarios like that. I heard of another guy said that he had heard one and caught the sounds on his phone and stuff.

And so he turned it in and then the police took his phone and wouldn't have his phone back. Yep, yep. Wow. I've tried to capture the sound, but I can't quite get it to my phone yet, but I'm trying. Well, there you go. Hey, if you ever are successful, feel free to reach out. My email is Bigfoot Society at gmail.com. I'd love to hear from you. Well, we'll do that. All right. Well, thanks for coming up, Jay. I appreciate it. Yeah, man.

Good stuff from Jay down in Florida. We got Walter wanting to come up here. Hey Walter, how are you? I just wanted to say they for real. They call them Sassquash. They're in Gainesville in the Prane Prairie, where it's dark and swamp. It's a lake back there called Trout Lake. You can look it up on the Google Map. It's called the Lost Lake.

And it's a lot of UFO sightings and everything. ain't be bad though it's called a praying prayer in Gainesville Florida and when I say it's creepy on my it ain't really creepy but it's just like it's seen me barbecue one day and I was I was out on the patio so I told me to look look into the you know look into the bushes so I went to looking this is real this happened for real I look I look I told my son I say I say son come here I say I say oh you see that moving the eyes are real like like a like a Emerald green and and you can see the fur it bounced like they got a what's that commercial when when the lady wash her hair and then her hair go to like fluffy fluffy like and it moves in a

it moves in a circle of motion you know like it can't be like can't be still you know you know like a circle of motion and a rotation. And he said, I see it, I see it. I see it won't move. If you look at it, it won't move. It will stay still because if it moved, it'll know you spot it, you know, you can follow it. So soon as you try to get some of the record or anything, if it catch off guard and you come back, it's gone. But in this spot, this guy stayed up the screen from us.

He got like goats and a pet raccoon. He got stuff like that. I call him old man Bob. And he deaf, but he got cameras around his fort, you know, around his house. And he came down to my house. He said, hey, hey, Walter, you hear all that noise. You know, all that noise the other night. He said, I called something on my camera.

I called some on a camera. And I said, well, what you think it is? He said, oh, no, I really can't tell, but he said, all the dears. He said, he woke up, he had a, he had a backyard full of dears just standing because he had light. Like, you know, he had like a light. You know what I'm saying? Like almost like a, what they call them, spotlights. You know, like the spotlights, like when you, it was a motion light.

Like when you, it was a motion light, motion light. And he said, he said, yeah, they say. They're supposed to be old Bigfoot. And I was like, yeah. And I was like, dang, I said, I see him the other day. I said, I wonder why he'd come up this way. He said, he'd be chasing them dears. You know, they'd like to eat dears.

You know, in the wintertime. That's when we, you know, that's when we had our calendar in the wintertime. Someday, they'd be just like scraed, like berries. Because you can't see the berries no more. You know how you was growing up. You can see the berries, wild berries. berries just you know in the woods laying around so they be looking for the berries so that's why you know they got a diet too are there a lot of sightings of a bigfoot in that area

yeah yeah and you know you know games where you know they had a couple um they had an incident where a lot of monkeys got got loose too you know but this at this was after the fact you know This was after the fact, but, you know, the sad squads, they beat somewhere everywhere. They could be in, they can be in St. Augustine, like, in 30 minutes. That's how fast they run and jump. And, you know what I'm saying? Like, they're real quick, you know. But the whole thing about it is a lot of people never go into the prayer room.

I'm saying because it's like it's like excluded you know what I'm saying like you know if you like in in Gainesville you got one side you can hunt on but you can't hunt on the on the prairie side of you know the highway with the main highway you see what I'm saying they like got a zone so when we used to go back there we used to use the bow and arrows and um my buddy named Watts you know he would put me up on the two because I was telling him about he said yeah buddy out there for real man you say you know he said he out there for real and uh and i never you know thought about he said so when he go out of the praying prairie because he go hunting back there but he only

go a certain amount of you know kilometers you know what I'm saying so because he caught what a wild boy on my property and then he um he caught him on like three or four deer's but once you go to feeding the corn going you know going out there feeding you know the deer's trying to get the corn, that's when he commences, you know, to come in because he know the deer's going to go to that corn pile, you see what I'm saying? Right. And he'd be lurking, well, yeah, they'd be lurking, man. And I was barbecue, too, so, you know, I had that, I had the grill smoking, the woods, it's the woods, now you're in the woods. So when you, when you cook it in the woods, sometimes the smoke begins to, um, settle. You see what I'm saying? Where it's,

It floats through throughout the wilderness and different animals. You know, they smell that, but when he smells like a certain aroma, they come around. They come around, bro. They're real. Wow. I told my uncle, I see him one. And he was like, take me the game. I want to see one.

I'm like, man, shoot. And we read out of the back door and come right out of the back door. come right out my back door and that's all praying prayer. You know what I'm saying? So it's like from 75 all the way to university. You see what I'm saying? Just how far, you know, all that field goes, but it's mostly swamp. You got wild buffaloes out there.

Wild Mustangs. You got stuff out there, but you can't get to it. You see what I'm saying? So, you know, only they know the certain ways to, you know, to go through the paths and, you know, to get on this side and whatever like that. But it's real dangerous, man. You can't go back there by yourself. It's real dangerous. Wow.

Thank you. I appreciate you coming up and sharing what you've experienced down there. And it's definitely something going to be on my radar now. So thank you. Yeah. Yes, sir. Hey, how's it going? Good.

How are you? Good, good. Do you mind if I potentially use this audio for my Bigfoot podcast I have? No, that's fine. Awesome. Well, what would you like to share tonight? So my experience happened in, it was around 2012 or 2011, and this was in Hawking County. And I was 12 or 13, and we had moved into this house, and pretty much no neighbors. I'd spend every day outside with my brother exploring the area. There's a lot of woods. Well, one day I had my curtains all the way up to let the sun

charge up my little glow and dark things that I had in my room. And then when I went to go to sleep. I was laying there and I looked out the window and it was dark out. The whole family was in bed. My dad had went to Walmart. But I had looked out my window and I saw Bigfoot and he looks pretty much like the picture you have here on your background. Except for his hair was kind of like choppy on the sides, I can tell. Like he was. dirty and his hair had clumped a little bit all on the sides but it had scared me to death so I ran out of my room and literally crawled through the hallway into my living room and there was a big screen patio that had been turned into my

brother's room but that was all glass so I was so scared that it was going to see me in the house I was just like really terrified so I crawled through the the living room and hid behind the recliner. And I had waited there for almost an hour until my dad had came home. And when he got there, he seen me behind the recliner and asked what was going on. He knew I was terrified. So he took it seriously and grabbed his revolver and went around the house. I heard him yelling out there, trying to like scare. away. I don't know if he believed me or if he, trying to, like, scared away. I don't know if he believed me or if he thought maybe it was a man out there. But he took it seriously. But this is my

first time ever telling this story, telling any details. But it was just a really terrifying experience. But, I mean, if there was a man outside my window looking in my room, I'd be terrified too, but this, I know what I saw and it was a big foot for sure. Thank you for sharing that. I can tell that was definitely something that affected you for a long time. This is Hawking County, Ohio. Yeah, so there's Lake Hope State Park, and then there's Wayne National Forest a little to the east of that, and then the town of Logan. And yeah, it scared me so bad that I no longer searched the property like I used to explore with my brother.

I would always just go to the porch and that was it. I was really just terrified. I saw his whole body except for his lower part, I would say. I didn't see his knees or anything. There was no light shining on his face, of course, like in the picture, but it's pretty similar to what you've got there. Okay. Wow, so you could actually see its face there. Yeah, yeah.

Okay. But it wasn't like lit up like this picture here, so I couldn't tell you the exact details, but it was pretty close to that picture there. And it was, my curtains were all the way up. I'm sorry, my blinds. But he was standing almost to the top of the window. I'd say maybe like a foot or from the top was where he was,

where his head was. and I could see his full shoulders. And his hair, like I said, was like clumped, a little bit clumped on the end. So it kind of looked choppy. I'm assuming maybe, you know, he had gotten wet or something. And his hair was just like clumped from the dirt or whatever. But yeah, it was extremely scary. But yeah, I appreciate you having this platform and giving people the ability to share their stories.

because this is something that is legit and not talked about much. Absolutely. I'm glad you were able to find it so that you were able to come up. I've never spoke to anybody about it. But I do plan on going back to that house. I have the address and everything. As an adult to go back, I just don't know how to approach those people who live in the home.

Yeah, I mean, that would be so tough because I mean, I guess you could always say like, hey, I used to live here. Do you mind if I look around? Or, I mean, you could ask, like, have you had anything weird happen here? But you just kind of have to feel it out as you go along, I think. Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. If anything, you know, does come out of that, I'd love to hear about it. If you could, you can send me an email directly at a at bigfoot society at gmail.com. I think that'd be. very interesting.
