but me knowing where we're at, there is no external lights down there. There's no house lights, no street lights, none of that stuff. And I'm watching it. Like, I'm not even helping my brother at this time. Like, he's doing his thing trying to get his stuff out. And I'm sitting there. I'm watching these things pretty hard, and they just kept it closer. They're kind of zigzagging towards us.

And they're right next to each other. 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. All right, Bigfoot Society.

We've got the privilege of talking to Treton today. Treton is an individual I got connected to. He's a longtime listener, but he is an outdoorsman, a hunter, fisherman, duck hunter, bow hunter. He gets out there in the outdoors and makes it happen, which is awesome. We've had some interesting things that have happened over the years. I believe one of the things that we'll be hearing about will be just, north of Tulsa up there in Oklahoma, but we'll hear more about that in a bit. Welcome to the show,

Trayton. How are you, sir? Good. How are you, Jeremiah? Doing good. We were just talking about how hot it is in Iowa and how hot it is where you are at. So we're going to try to make it smoking down here. Is it smoking? It's for sure. Yeah. So is there anything else that the listeners would need to know about you for contacts before we get going, Trayton? No, I'm not going to believe. Gotcha. So feel free to, would it make sense to start with your sighting back in 2009, or would you want to start before them? Yeah, I will start there. This happened. I'm originally from Ooligah, Oklahoma, and I've grown up there all my life, a hundred to fish, that whole lake. My family's from all over that region. I grew up on the lake there.

and I spent most of my summers there. I mean, we fished below the dam, below Ouga Dam, and that's mostly where all these encounters have happened. And it's interesting because what I come to learn about that place after the fact, all this happened. And so we'll start with the first encounter, my sighting. That's what really got it going. It was the summer 2009.

one of my me and my one of my best friends we would go up there every summer to we'd go up there and fish we'd cat fish all night and uh we'd go down this place is this place is pretty unique and being where it's at it's on the verdigris river and below this below the dam there is a it's a PSO owns it a public service company of oklahoma and uh So anything downriver from that dam, I mean, there's not a house for probably six or seven miles down river. And this is all untouched land at the time. So we were down there and this is before I had even, I was interested in Bigfoot and stuff at the time. But I wasn't really that into it. Like this, this siding is what really kicked it off for me. So we had been down there fishing for a while. We were catching fish.

and there's a railroad bridge just down river from where we were fishing at. And there's nobody else down river. I mean, it's 2.30 in the morning. We got the whole bank lit up on our side, and we're catching fish. And it sounded like an entire tree was thrown into the river. I don't mean, I've heard beavers clap. I've heard, you know, just rams. random things fall into the river, but this thing, I mean, it got both of our attention.

I mean, it was that close to us. But it was on the opposite side of the river, and the opposite side of the river is probably 60, 70 yards away. So he walked over to me and he's like, man, did you hear that? I was like, yeah, I did. And we're sitting there talking about it. We're like, wonder what that was. And no, we're sitting there talking.

and about that time, like, it just sounded like a truck was coming up the other side of the river, just snapping trees. Man, I'm talking just, we're like, what is going on here? Like, I mean, it just kept getting closer and closer coming up the other side of the river. And we're sitting there, we're talking, we're trying to, we got our lights on the opposite side of the river by this time because it's getting to where it would be directly across from us. And it starts to quiet down and we start to see the silhouette of somebody over there and not thinking we weren't understanding at the time what was going on. And we're fishing and I'm talking to him. I'm like, wonder what this guy's doing. And I mean, he's slowly, he gets there across the river from us and where we start to see his silhouette and we're lighting him up.

and it has no lights. They're moving real slow. I mean, all we can see was the dark figure, but he gets directly across from us, and there's these two sycamore trees that had grown together. Like, you know how they do. Like, they'll grow up. I mean, they're like weeds, man.

But he gets directly across from us, and I'm like, Jared, what is this guy doing? He has to see his fishing here. We're thinking that somebody else, this guy's going to try to fish across from us. So I see him, I'm like, I'm gonna yell at him. I was like, hey man, we're fishing right here. And as soon as I say something, man, he steps behind this,

he stepped behind them, Sycamore trees, and goes out of sight. I'm like, we're like, okay, this is getting, this is getting we're getting we got the lights on, we got the lights on that tree by this time and this tree is, I mean, the base of this thing, I went over there after the fact and checked out how big the base of this thing was. I mean, it's, it had to have been two or three of me. And I'm, I mean, I'm a decent-sized guy.

And we're watching it. And it just, I mean, it was peeking its head out. And the left side of his shoulder was on the outside of this tree. And, I mean, he's, he's wide, man. This thing is wide. And it's tall. And, like, it just kept, it kept rocking back and forth, rocking back and forth. And by this time, we're getting freaked out.

and it stood there. This happened for probably two or three minutes, and you could see him, say him, you can see it back up. I mean, it stayed to where it could see us, and it just backed up into the tree, and we heard it leave. And it went back downriver.

I mean, plainly audible, like what it was, I don't know if it was trying to spook us or what was going on, but that was. was my first sighting. I mean, I didn't get a good, that's all I could see was the silhouette, but when I went over there to check out where this thing was at, man, there's no way it was person. No, no way. And for that to happen like that, I mean, it freaked us out. We like, we reeled up everything. It got out of there. But after that, it was probably another year after that um i started asking around like i even called uh i called game and fish up there i called

actually was a corps of engineers up there at the lake office and i asked them i was like man uh have you guys had anything crazy like this happened and i kind of told them what it happened and they're like no we we've had a bear a bear siding down river around that time but i was like this wasn't no bear like come on now And they're like, no, we've never had anything like that happen. And I ran into mountain lines up there. I've ran into mountain lines up there, too, while hunting. And I've even called and asked if they'd had any collard in that area.

And they're going to tell me no. They tell me no every time. So there's just no telling them what they know. But from where that PSO, that location is, that electric company is at, I had told some family members about what had happened right down there. And my aunt had actually had a siting in that same spot where I was at. Like I told her about it. She was like, what?

I mean, it kind of blew her mind. But yeah, to have all that happened right there. And then from what happened after that with all my next experiences, it's just there's something in that area that I'm just not sure if they follow the fish. migration or what because that's Wow that's wild Maybe a few questions for you about that Can you Were you able to get an estimate of how tall it was

What you were seeing Now I'm going to say probably eight feet It was big It was definitely big because I mean where the trees had gapped That was probably chin level to me and I'm almost six foot tall So

And he was well above that like I could see I could see his shoulders moving in between the moving in between both trees so were there any out of place sounds or smells during that time besides the besides the tree falling and the I mean the snaps and stuff these things it was loud what it was doing like I mean it was I mean it was pretty we're good ways down up the river from where it was when we heard these the trees and all that absolutely how did that after after this happened how did it affect you in the days afterwards or you said there are multiple people there how were the conversations like after this happened um the guy that i was with uh i've known him for

i still i'm we're still best friends of this day like we grew up together together, once a school together. So I know him and he's kind of, he's more of a skeptical kind of guy. Like he wouldn't just go out and say, you know, some, I mean, it freaked him out. He's like, let's, he's like, let's get out of here. I don't know. I mean, we reeled up, dragged our fish. Like, we weren't, we weren't trying to stay around. I mean, it was pretty weird. It was just weird how it happened because of where we were at, really. I mean, we've been down there multiple times before that, and just nothing like that ever happened. It's a pretty remote area where that's at down there, though.

I'm looking at it on a map, and is there like a weird history to this area, like, around the dam or anything? I see an area called Skull Hollow, which is a really strange name for an area. Yeah, actually, I'm not sure. So if you go just north of Skull Hollow, there's Will Rogers birthplace. Do you see that? Yeah. That's where I grew up. I was down on that lake all my life.

And I had a couple weird things happen out there, too. But that was before all this had happened. But Skull Hollow, believe it or not, a lot of people drown. They just drowned right there for some reason. I guess the waves to north and south lake so that it gets pretty choppy through there. but other than that, it's just we were talking, I really got into the history of that area after the fact that this had happened because after this, I don't know if it's like, I don't know if it's something that you just have to be enlightened to, but like once I had that experience, all this other stuff started happening. And like it all started happening when I was in the woods or when I was out there tracing around or whatever. I mean, Trayton, before you head into that, I want to point out another thing you said, though, it's pretty important, which it's not that you just were a random fisherman or hunter in this lake at that time.

but you, I mean, you've grown up in this area and you know everything that's supposed to be in this area and in the water. I mean, you are, you're a smart guy. And so I think that even gives more credence to what you saw and what you know you saw that night as well. But yeah, feel free to, I would love to hear about, you know, what you began to experience. after that encounter you had? Yeah. So I started deer hunting. I mean, I've deer hunted that whole area out there where my grandparents lived and stuff.

But I knew all the people around there, so I had access to a bunch of properties. A lot of people didn't have access to. But I also got permission on some land just to the south of the dam. And we would go in through the dam area, and we'd scout around. stuff and I had I had several I said had several orb happenings gone and this is stuff like I'm not sure what they're I've looked into this I've listened to a bunch of your episodes where it talks about um Sasquatch being involved with orbs or whatever and I definitely think that it has something to do with that because, and this happened, I would say most of these, most of these experience happened with somebody else with me too. Like, I mean, I love to take people out there and hunt and share the experiences with them and stuff. And, but I think my first, my first real orb sighting happened

was probably the, I think it was the deer season right after that. I was down in there and I got down in there early and it was probably, I mean, it was just north of where I had that siding at and I was on this creek I was on this creek ledge and I put some pegs in a tree to go up it set up my tree stand and I kept going up and I would see these lights down below me and I was like surely this is not I mean there's like five or six of these like I mean they were like a yellowish color like a yellow light and I thought they were I mean they it looked like a dollar headlamp I guess I would say so I would go back down the tree and I would sit there for a second and they would be gone. I'd go back up, but boom, there they'd begin.

So at this time, I'm not really understanding what's going on because it's right after that. And it freaked me out enough to where I had been dropped off. I'd called my grandma. I was like, hey, can you come get me? I'm going to leave my stuff down here and I'll come back later and get it. So I left, I left everything but my bow and I got out of there and she picked me up. What happened? I was like, I'm not even going to go into it right now. I said, let's just get back home. So we got back home.

And later that day, I drove back out there apart to go get my stuff. And from the minute I had walked into the woods, dude, I was just like overtaken by you need to be careful. Like, I mean, I creeped. And this was a, I would say it's probably. half a mile walk to where I needed to be from where I parked. And this whole time, like, as soon as I got up to this ridge where I would go into the area I was going to hunt, dude, I just started to, I just had that overwhelming feeling of like, okay, be careful because there's something around here that's watching you.

So, I mean, I'm good in the woods. It's like if I, if somebody is or something can creep on me in there without me catching it, it is good. And I was checking my back trail. I mean, I would stop in certain areas to see if I could catch this thing creeping around me or whatever and just could not do it. I could hear things, but I just, it was very careful when it was doing this. And it took me. I got in there, I got in there at about 11 o'clock that morning. and didn't get out until right at dark.

And right as I was coming out, I made like a big horseshoe. I went around, grabbed my stuff, and started to head out. And I got to within a hundred yards of where I parked. And this place is, you can't get a vehicle back there where I was at, there ain't no way. And I still tell people about this today. I found this, I walked up on this bridge, And it was pretty steep.

And this rock, dude, I'm talking like two people, two or three people couldn't pick this thing up. It was set up in this tree. And I had pictures of it and stuff. And the way this thing was set up in there, I was just like, it blew my mind. Like, I had no idea how that would have happened. Like, I mean, it was way over my head. And it had to have been at least 800 pounds. It was huge.

Like, I mean, it was sitting in this. I think it was a persimetry that was sitting in. They have a bunch of limbs and stuff that come out to where something could do that for sure. But it just never made any sense to me. Wow. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. I have a few questions about the orbs. Because when I was just in Tennessee, had my first orb experience.

So I kind of know how to maybe what questions ask a little bit. better now. So you talked about what color they were. Could you with your, could you make the approximate size with your hands about how big you think they were? About as big as my fist. Okay. These ones, these were the ones the experience I had after this was, I mean, these weren't, these were completely different. But I'll tell you more about that.

Yeah. I got you. How high up were they off the ground? It was kind of hard for me to tell because I was going up and down a tree and I was on a creek bank. So like, and they were down in the creek bank. So, I mean, like in the creek bed. And I was, that creek bank was pretty high. So I'm going to say they were below me.

I'll say that. Okay. What kind of movement did they seem to be doing? as they traveled around. Well, when I go, when I first seen them, I mean, they were just boom there. And then I kind of froze in the tree and I was like, okay, what's going on? So when I went back down, they were gone. But when they came back, every time I'd go back up that tree, that's when they'd pop up.

And, but they would pop up, they'd pop up in the same area, but they weren't really moving. Like, they would be in a different spot, but they would still be in the initial area. Okay, interested. They were just kind of hanging around a certain area. Yeah. That makes you wonder. Yeah. Okay.

Okay. Yeah, feel free to continue with your account. Yeah. So this next one was in the same area. Probably, I mean, it was probably another half mile away from that spot. And we were on top of an oak flat to where, I mean, it overlooked the Vertigus River. and I was with my brother this time, and we'd had a good deer hunt,

and he had shot a buck that morning, and we had to drag it out of there and stuff. So he was like, we're just going to come back later, and we'll get my stand or whatever. But by the time we had, by the time we went back in there, it was almost dark, so we walked back in there,

and we get on top of this flat. And we finally find where he had left his stand. I mean, everything in there looks the same. We finally found it. And no sooner we got there, man, like I'm kind of already watching in the area. And I see this red and this blue orb, this blue light on the edge of this bridge that we're on. and it it does overlook the river bottom down there, but me knowing where we're at,

there is no external lights down there. There's no house lights, no street lights, none of that stuff. And I'm watching it and like I'm not even helping my brother at this time. Like he's doing his thing trying to get his stuff out. And I'm sitting there, I'm watching these things pretty hard. And they just kept it closer. they're kind of zigzagging towards us, and they're right next to each other. I mean, this blue, the blue one was such a pretty, like a, just a pretty blue, man.

Like, I can't even describe the color to you. I was like, I would say a sky blue almost, but more of a brighter color. And that's what caught my attention to begin with, because I'm partially colorblind, And so the red didn't really stick out to me that much. And so these things are moving towards us. And I'm like, hey, look. And he's skeptical. I mean, he's one of the hardest people to, you know, relay the message.

Like, this is not people coming to us. And, I mean, they're within, I'd say, 150 yards from us when I started seeing them. And they just keep getting closer. And I'm watching. He's hitting me. He's like, are you going to help me or what? I'm like, no, dude, I'm watching these. And he's like, dude, that's just houselights back there.

I'm like, that ain't no house lights. I mean, they're moving towards us. And he continues doing what he's doing. And they get within 50 yards of us. So I push him. I'm like, hey, stop what you're doing and watch this. So, I mean, we turn off all our lights. And he starts watching him.

He starts seeing him at this time. and they just they keep getting closer and closer and they're within they're within 40 yards of us now and I mean he didn't even have his tree stand and stuff put together and he's like dude let's go so we grabbed our stuff I mean we ran out of there dude it freaked him out of us where he was running and like when we got back to his truck where he was like dude what was that I was like your guess I don't know I really don't know and after this I'll go into my did you sorry real quick did you say they were zigzagging towards you or they were

yeah they were whatever it was knew we were there this wasn't this wasn't by half the stance by no mean this was like they started out on that ridge and they came right to us like I mean they were coming right to us I've shared my Orb story a few times with people and individuals, some not in the community. Some have said, how did you know it was not something like a firefly? How would you respond to that? This was like, well, this was the big, I mean, this was the middle of the rut.

So like this was probably November 15th, 16th. So anything like that, it's just going to be rolled out anyways. They're gone by the end of September probably. So Firefly, and I mean, the size of these things were, these were bigger than the other ones I'd seen. They were probably, these were about the size of a basketball. And, yeah. So, and they were low was another weird thing.

They were like, I mean, probably two. feet up off the ground when they were moving to us. Like they got with it, they got that close to us to where, you know, I mean, he is just, uh, he's somebody that's hard to convince of anything, like he's got to see it to believe it. And that's what he needed to see. And I've tried to get him to talk about it afterwards and stuff. And he's like, man, I don't know what we've seen.

I don't know what it was. Yeah. You know what it was. It's going to take him a while probably. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Basketball size. I cannot imagine that. The ones I was, the ones I saw, they were small, dude, but we, we put flashlights on them. There are no bugs there. But man, basketball size. Oof. Yeah, I'm not sure. That's why I was going to ask you about, like, going back to when I was going to get my stuff out of there, these things have to, they have to either have like a way they interdimensionally move or like they are just so

in tuned with nature to where they I mean they they have to I don't know it's just a higher form of intelligence that I can't explain I really can't like I mean it it blows my mind every time I think about it but it's it's weird as I'll get out yeah because like you know there there is a part of the community where, you know, they'll see them disappear. They'll see the Bigfoot disappear. And then it's like, well, if they're disappearing, are they going through a portal? Or maybe they're, like, able to change into these orbs that are usually seen around the same areas. And it really makes you ask more questions than you went in asking, I think.

I almost think that they have a, like a cloaking, camouflage kind of deal. that they just know how, I mean, a lion or a mountain lion or a bobcat or something like that, they can be there and you won't be able to pick them up until, you know, they want to be seen. And like, that's just, that's a cat. I mean, these, what we're dealing with is way more intelligent than that. So, like, there's no telling. There really isn't. Like, I haven't been back up in that area.

in a couple of years and I've moved down here at Fort Smith, so definitely on the agenda to go back up that way, though. My whole family's up there. Now, is it a thing? So it sounds like the primary reason that you haven't been there is because you moved areas, or is it a thing where you're kind of apprehensive about even going back there? After that, I have several more things. Oh, yeah, sure, sure. So after that thing happened with my brother, I didn't go back in there for probably two years.

And the next time I'd, I think the next time I had something happened, I was with a female friend of mine. And we were down there fishing. And I was telling her about all this stuff that had happened and where all this stuff would start to happen. And we were down below this ridge and I was like, you don't believe me? I mean, not knowing that something was going to happen. And we get out and we're walking. And sure enough, I mean, this audible like just two or three different whistles from the same area at the same time did this to get our attention. I mean, it stopped her in her tracks and locked her up.

I was like, don't freak out. Come on, grab my hand. We'll keep walking. and this whistle that they did was just so piercing through the woods, dude, it was just, it kind of got me. My heart went up in my throat for sure. I was like, I knew what it was. And I was like, come on. Yeah.

What time of day was that that happened? The whistling? Yeah. No, this was the middle of the night. This was probably, yeah, this was probably 12 o'clock maybe. Oh, man. Yeah. and I went back to I think the deer season after the whistling I went back in there to check things out

and this was right before deer season that started and I had this one tree that I would go in there and hunt and I walked in I shot numerous deer out of this tree like it was a really good spot I mean any anywhere if a deer hunter was looking for a spot i mean like this would be a place to go like anything that know how to that knows how to hunt deer like so i go and find this tree and um i'm walking up on it and i'm i noticed something at the base of my tree and like i'm like there ain't no way so i walk up there and there's a deer skull and this old bottle dude like i'm talking like a it look like an old whiskey bottle set at the base of my tree and And it gave me goosebumps just being right there.

I mean, like, I didn't, why would, what would prompt something to do that? You know what I mean? Like, why would that be there? And knowing I was going to come back or knowing that something had to have seen me in that tree, like, I don't know why else would have been there. Like, this was just, or I didn't leave no pegs in the, tree or nothing like that like i mean it was just uh it was pretty weird very weird i still have the skull and the bottle today just because of that whole experience it was i don't know it's really

weird i i'm trying to think i don't think i've ever heard i've heard plenty of gifting situations yeah that's what we say this is the first time where it's been connected to like where a hunter would usually hunt maybe maybe i just haven't heard those a accounts yet and people can uh listeners can can reach out with anything they've heard to but yeah uh that that's weird are you an individual that is that like a favorite drink of choice or oh no no this this bottle was really unique though i don't have it here with me but it's at my grandparents place but uh it was old man like i mean i don't know that's what i was going to say if it had something to do with gifting because uh anytime we shot a deer out there

like we would fill, dress it, and leave whatever's left in a certain spot, and it was just right up the ridge from where we were at. So I don't know if that was their way of saying thank you or whatever. Right. Yeah. Because, I mean, we would come back. I mean, we'd hunt that place all through the season, and, I mean, those carcasses would not be there a day or two, and they'd be gone.

Yeah. So you are seeing orbs. Bigfoot, you're hearing things. Oh, I was going to ask you this too. The time when you went there, when you were like very apprehensive, like I need to be aware of what's going on. Was that due to like a vibe that you had gotten? Or did you actually hear something that said like you need to be aware of what's like, was it like that? It was a vibe for sure when I got out of my car.

I mean, but at the same time, like, it was something in my soul was just saying, like, look, be careful, like, make sure you're paying attention. And, like, I've never felt threatened in there or anything. I just didn't know. I just think the whole, the whole orb thing to begin with had got me shaken up or whatever. But, like, that's when it was really made. I was like my I guess my confirmation like I was in an area to where I was ancient and I needed to be respectful of what I was doing I guess and uh because I mean my whole family's Native American and like we I grew up in those ways and uh just the stories that they have I mean my dad's a firm believer in this he's had his own experiences in no water which is just north of the lake up there on the upper part of the verdig River and the things that I mean I've I've had things happen with him up there too like we noodle a lot so we were moving around we move around the lakes the old parts of the lakes and stuff and we've seen we've seen thunderbirds like I'm pretty sure these were the biggest birds I've ever seen in my life like yeah yeah it's very that place is very weird I'm not sure I was talking to my dad about this because the whole east side of that lake is it was stripped mine for coal and stuff and the whole east side of that lake is where all the

crazy stuff happens like they they definitely disturbed something when they were doing that lake making that lake yeah i mean there's so many um from what i know to do with oklahoma there's so much native american history and then if you go you know clearing stuff out kind of As you are saying, who knows how many graveyards you may have concentrated or things like that. And it's like, you don't know what you may have potentially unleashed. Yeah. The whole east side, the east side of that lake over there, that's where all the skin walker and the stuff like that happens. Oh, really?

It's very, very eerie spot on the lake over there. Like, I like to be in the woods and stuff by myself, but on that east side, dude, I will not be in the dark over there by myself. So, okay, so is it a thing? I know of a few areas around the country where you've got bodies of water, and it seems like on one side, there might be certain things going on like Bigfoot. And on the other side, there's going to be, as you said, other things. Is it, does it seem to be kind of. Yeah, it does. In half year.

Yeah. Yep. They kind of, where I was having all those experiences at, it's, I mean, it's directly at the dam. So, like, it separates the east from the west side of the river. And, yeah, this was actually happening on, it would be the east side. But it's just that one area by the dam. Like, I've never, I haven't had any other Sasquatch experiences on that east side of the lake until I get up north and no water to where the old river is and stuff.

But on that, the west side of the lake is where everybody has their experiences. Okay. It's just to, that's, I think that the west side of the lake is actually the untouched part. Like it wasn't straight mind, none of that. Got it. Got it. So do you know people that have had Skinwalker experiences on the east side then? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. My goodness. Yeah. Do you guys have, this reminds me of another lake. I mean, everyone knows about Lake Texoma. Oh, yeah. Out of you guys and how there's everything down there.

And this kind of sounds familiar in a way. Do you guys have like pale crawler and stuff reports around this area as well too? The thing that people see on the east side is like a, I would say it goes along with the dog man or also it's a people have experiences with old Native American like just they say that they see this tall chief and he'll change into a wolf or like the guy or my dad knows this man that he lives out there. He has a bunch of land on that east side and this is like a recurring experience that he he sees this old Indian up on this hill and then he'll start seeing these coyotes and wolves

and he said they'll see him more or change and the things that he has happened at his ranch is just like I'm not I'm like I don't want to go out there crazy do they have a music festival around this area too um I believe so are you talking about like what are you talking about? Like, is it Ugalala land? Or is that made up? That might be made up. It's Oulaga.

Oolaga, okay. Oolaga, yeah. I may have seen an episode of Tiger, or Tulsa King before. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I went to school and Broken Arrow down there. Oh, there you go. There you go.

Now, man, you've had so many experiences. It is wild. And you're in, I mean, you're relatively young too. Have you, have there been like a UFO or European sightings around? I was like, that's the only thing we haven't talked about really. I'm sure there's been stuff going on over there. Yeah.

I actually got into that when, after these, after I had that experience, dude, that very first one. And I got into, like, I'd seen, I'd seen something with one of my, two of my best friends when we were duck hunting and This thing was like just this spiral up in the air. It looked like a like it looked like a Picture of a galaxy you know how it has the arms and stuff that this thing was like in the sky I just and I got into it and I started I came across this guy is named Stephen Greer and he has this that that protocol that he has a C-E-5 protocol Yeah, so me and my and my

my buddy, we're like, let's see if this works. So we did that. We actually, I mean, it works, man. Like, I mean, if you get into the right state of mind, that's what I think you had to be in the right state of mind to have this stuff happen, like any of it really. You have to be open to it. And, uh, that's my roommate. I was like, oh, is that a dog? So, uh, did anything weird happen? Because I've heard about the C.E5 protocol from Dr. Greer, but I have not talked to many people. I've talked to one or two. So what kind of things happen when you initiated that protocol? Man, if you do exactly how he teaches you to do it, which this can be, like, I kind of stopped doing it.

because of I'm just not really sure what these those those are like because I'm very very spiritual and I'm the way that the way that these would happen these experiences would happen is like I mean you're you're asking them to

come down and show you so like we would we would meditate for 20 or 30 minutes and then we would vector them in like we would if you're looking in at google maps like you take them directly down to where you're at and if you're if you're in a clear if you're in a clear state of mind and you're asking them to do this dude it'll happen it definitely will happen 100% that's some wild wild stuff I've never done that personally it probably wouldn't just because as you said there's stuff you got to figure out before you start messing around with doors like that and

I'm not really super comfortable with that myself. I just like going into the woods and looking for bigfoot, right? Yeah, I'm going to stick with that. My goodness, so has there been anything else that you've experienced in this area? I mean, Trayton, you've experienced so many things over the years. Not in, on the north end of the lake. being with my dad and stuff, he actually had an experience why we were at noodle, and I was with him at the time, but I wouldn't in the area like we'd split up to go of different branches of this creek.

And another guy, one of his best friends was with us in the same area, and we kind of were all, we're just looking for different area. I mean, we look for certain areas to go in there in noodle, and I heard my dad yelling. So I kind of made my way to him, and he was yelling for his buddy Joe that was with us. And by the time we had all met up, my dad was just, I mean, he was sheet white, dude, and he's, he's dark. I mean, he's Native America. He's just like me. And I was like, dude, what happened? Did you get bit by snake or what was going on?

He was like, he said, are you, he's like, are you messing with me? I was like, what are you talking about, dude? And Joe walks up about that time. He said, was that you? and he goes, dude, I haven't been, he's like, what are you talking about? He said, man, I had this thing jump up out of the creek and take off running. He said, I thought it was you. And, I mean, he was shaken up by it.

And I mean, he's been in the woods his whole life too and knows what's out there and stuff. He's like, we're not going back there. Wow. And this is on Lightning Creek up there on the very north end of the lake. it's where my whole family's from and that area that creek in general is my grandma has pictures of stuff

just silhouettes of things and standing on the creek banks and it's a very very old area that's where the Delaware people that's the tribe I'm from that's where they originally settled when they moved into Oklahoma

and she has pictures of things I can't explain I mean It's just that whole area, man, it's just, there's something different about it. Some wild, wild stuff. When you moved down to Arkansas, did the experiences seem to follow you down there? Or was it a, did you get a kind of piece from the area that you were having things happening? Nothing has really happened down here.

I went to Tinkiller Lake this past weekend and spent some time with some of my buddies. And we had a good time. I've just been in a, I've been on a different spiritual journey. So I'm taking things differently. And I have been wanting to go out in some of these areas that are around here. But Fort Smith in itself is just like, I mean, it's pretty much. modernized and I'm really getting into like artifact hunting and so I know that's going to take me into some places that's uh that should have some experiences and stuff but yeah they kind of

back in Oklahoma though I mean yeah it's different it's definitely different definitely different I will tell you um some of the weirdest stuff I've I've heard happens south Because you said Fort Smith, right? Yeah. Yeah. I'm south of Fort Smith. Down in Mena area? Yeah.

That's weird down there. I've never been there, but the stuff I've heard come out of there in Board Camp Crystal Mine. Yeah, that's where I'm wanting to go down there, dude. If you do, let me know, because they're seeing stuff coming out of portals and people are getting healed, and there's crystals coming out of nowhere, and there's some weird stuff going on. Yeah, I listened to that show. That's what got me to. to get a hold of you. That show particular, yeah.

I really want to go check that out. I was going to ask you, do you ever, have you had any other reports come in from that area up there where I'm from? Oh, where you're from in Fort Smith? No, from Ooligah up there.

No, so that's interesting. Because, so what I do is I'll try to keep track of stuff on, if you go to Bigfoot Society Podcast.com, and there's a siting map. I get a lot in the northeast, and then it kind of follows the east border down. And then I had maybe one thing in Tulsa,

but I had nothing in that area where you were talking. So it'll be interesting once this gets out, if other people are like, oh, yeah, that lake is crazy. I just have never heard about it on the show. I'm surprised that no more reports have come from north of the lake. Like, I'm telling you about Nolada. Ula Gah is more of like a, it's a rancher's area. Like, I mean, these are big ranches that are there.

But no water being up there, like, that's older than Ullugaa. And like, I know. I've heard so many things from that area. It's just, I don't know how. I'm surprised that nobody else has reported anything. Like, way, way deeper stuff than I've told you about. Like, I mean, the things that people have happened up there, I mean, they would freak out anybody. Wow.

Wild, wild stuff. So you mentioned that you're kind of on a spiritual journey now. And so having all these experiences, so how. are you, you know, people experience stuff like this. And sometimes they're like, you know, we're just going to stay away from this or I'm going to try to figure this out. Has this put you on a certain path when it comes to all this stuff that's happening to you? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

That definitely, I mean, this, that has a lot to do with the way I incorporate my religion in with, my Native American side also like I mean I'm definitely Christian but I also believe in the Red Road and like how how my ancestors have done their things and like all that incorporates itself and I feel like if you're if you're spiritually if you're spiritually pure and you know yourself and you go out and you're seeking these things they're gonna they will they will show themselves to you'll you'll have things happen to you and uh i just now like if i if i go any if i when i went to tin killer this past weekend it was kind of like for a vision thing or i need

some clarity on some things that were going on and i was praying a lot and there's the things that i had i were had i was having happened out there like with uh eagles and the ospreys and i mean like i don't see ospreys very much Like, I mean, that was just, that was part of my confirmation on the road that I'm supposed to be on. So, like, I definitely think that what's in your spirit, you're going to go out there and find. Like, if you're going to have run-ins with these more of the evil side of things, like maybe a Skinwalker or whatever else, like, I don't think Bigfoot or Sasquatch have any ill intent or anything like that. So it just depends on the road you're on, really. That's really interesting.

I've gotten at least one report from Ten Killer. I was back last year. Yeah. A lady and her daughter were just messed with. They were in their tent and something was just messing with them. Does it say we're at? Not the exact area. I think she may have mentioned it was in one of the campgrounds,

but that probably doesn't narrow it down too much. It's episode 820, if you want to listen to it. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, I've heard weird stuff about that area. I mean, really all Oklahoma has its weirdness, I think. It does. Where would you say Oklahoma rates as far as the activity goes? Personally, I would say it's like,

third or fourth for me. Really? And I would say like Washington, Oregon, and then like Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Ohio. That's what I would say. Huh. Yeah. Pennsylvania. Yeah.

Pennsylvania's got way more than you would think. Once you get into it, you're like, oh, my goodness, there's a lot going on here. It's really, really, really weird. Really? Trayton, did you have any other questions you were wanting to ask? No, man. I think that was about it. I just wanted to get on here and let you know that things are still happening in Oklahoma.

Dude, I love it. I hope to get down there, hopefully someday. And, man, if you do end up going down to Mina, you've got to reach out to me, send me an email and let me know if it's what they say that it is. because I've talked to multiple witnesses from that or people that don't work there but have gone there. And they're like, yeah, it happens. And I just, oh, my goodness, this place is wacky. So let me know if you do go there. I will, man.

It'll probably be towards the end of the summer when it's not so hot. Awesome. Awesome. Well, thank you so much. Thank you so much, Triton for coming on. No problem, man. I appreciate it. And then you had provided your email as well when you signed up.

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.
