And what did her and her grandfather see that one day when they were out for a truck ride? Find out this and more. on this week's episode of the Bigfoot Society podcast. All right, Bigfoot Society.
Starting point is 00:02:22 I've got the privilege of talking to a new friend tonight, Ms. Megan Moonschild from Alberta, Canada. I ran across Megan's Bigfoot story that she shared in a Facebook group online and approached her and asked if she would ever be up to sharing her story on a podcast. And thankfully, she did say yes. So, Megan, how's it going tonight? It's going good.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Thank you for having me on your show. It's an honor, honestly. Thank you. That's great. That's great. And how are things up in Alberta right now? Currently, it's nice at the moment where I'm at anyway, but it depends on which part of Alberta you live.
Starting point is 00:03:04 So right now it's kind of springy and I'm happy for it. Honestly, I just want the snow gone already. Do you live in a pretty heavily wooded, forested, part of Alberta then? Oh, yes. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:22 The town I live in is called Rocky Mountain House and we're like literally we have a view of the Rocky Mountains from Main Street. It's amazing and like surrounding us is like a glacial river and just heavy, heavy woods. Like you could easily get lost out there in this wilderness. No problem, honestly. But it's so beautiful. Have you always lived in the, um, area in Alberta up there?
Starting point is 00:03:49 I actually lived further north, originally in Slave Lake. Also grew up in high prairie, but like not in the town, more like on a quarter section, just nice little heavily wooded but beautiful farm and lots of grazing fields and thick woods. So it was heaven. But there was definitely some odd things that happened on that. land here and there when I was growing up. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:04:21 What kind of weird things did you experience? Feelings of being watched at times. I'd get like a really creeped out kind of feeling. Like I wouldn't see anything, but I'd just have this feeling like something's watching me. And like my grandfather would be either working in the field or with the, you know, with the cattle or in the garden or something. Like, everybody had their jobs, so we all kept busy. But just when I'd be, like, helping to feed the cows or working in the garden, I'd get a weird vibe in them.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Sometimes, like, just a weird feeling up my spine. And sometimes there were lights in the woods, like, in the distance every now and then. They were usually, like, white or, like, light-colored. Weird sounds, like, sometimes, like, Sounds that sounded like, I don't know, like you'd think like you were in the jungle or something out like where there's like monkeys or chimps or something. Like I don't know. It was just. Really?
Starting point is 00:05:30 Sometimes you'd see eyes shine every now and then. But like I only just thought it was like, you know, the cows or horses or something. But every sound, I don't know. Like there's just weird things that happen. Thankfully, my grandfather, he was smart, like the way that he had the. the farm all set up. Like, there were absolutely no woods near any of the windows. Like, he had all the woods back away from the trailer.
Starting point is 00:05:58 So it's like nothing could just come up and, you know, just, you know, like, yeah, he was smart. And he had all these, these big ass lights everywhere that lit up the place. So you could see it really well at night. And he always just said, it was good so we wouldn't trip or something because it would get pretty dark out there. So. Do you think your grandfather had experiences that led him to that point where everything was,
Starting point is 00:06:28 you know, the heavy lights, the not being near the, uh, the woodline things of that nature? Yeah. Um, like he didn't even tell me about any of, of his experiences. until I approached him on the day that I ended up seeing a, I mean, I guess a Sasquatch or whatever you want to call it. Sorry, I'm a little.
Starting point is 00:07:03 That's all right. That's all right. You did share something with me before our interview. That was very interesting. And do you feel comfortable sharing a little bit about your hands? heritage. I think that really helps provide some context maybe to the stories you're about to share. Oh, of course. I'm part Cree, indigenous, on my father's side. I didn't know a whole lot about my culture until much later in my life. I only just recently last year got to finally
Starting point is 00:07:40 meet my blood grandmother on my father's side. But currently we're all working towards getting our actual official treaty like a certificate or whatever you call it. So I'm excited for that. But right now I'm just kind of been on this spiritual journey. It seems like my whole life. But for some odd reason, like I saw strange things growing up and sometimes had odd experiences. I couldn't quite explain. such as seeing that particular being on the back of my grandfather's property. Yeah, my grandmother on my father's side, she's considered an elder, and she's actually quite respected, and I adore her.
Starting point is 00:08:32 She's such a sweet lady, and I've asked her questions concerning my speakers. I told her my story and what happened. And she said that she thinks that it's like a guardian. They're like, can be spirit guardians, I guess, or guardians of the forest. But also, like, there are good spirits and bad spirits. So I learned that, yeah, sometimes these things, they don't even mean to appear to us. Sometimes people just have like a sight. Like they just one day are just minding their business and they just see it.
Starting point is 00:09:13 And it's like all shock like, you see me even though like maybe it thought it was in like its own little dimension or it was like somehow hiding from us like doing that predator thing it does where it tries to, you know, like blend in with everything and conceal itself. It's so weird. The cloaking. but yeah my experience it happened at like 10.30 in the morning you know it was pretty early well like not really I guess
Starting point is 00:09:48 but um basically my grandmother she asked me if I would be willing to go and just pick some wild berries and just fill this you know just ice cream pail you know and I was like Hell yeah, because she was going to make homemade pie.
Starting point is 00:10:07 And I absolutely loved her berry crumble. It was so good. And so, yeah, I was totally down for that. And I had my dog with me. He was a border collie. He was the sweetest dog. His name was King. He was the best dog I ever had.
Starting point is 00:10:28 I loved that dog. He was a good protector. And he was with me the whole time. So I didn't feel concerned because I was only walking like 15 minutes down the cut. Because like my grandfather, there were these cut lines that went down. And he'd keep them nice and cut short because he'd let the cattle in there. So we'd have some extra pasture so they could have new grazing ground. And the cows weren't there at the time.
Starting point is 00:10:58 So I'm like, heck, yeah, I'm going to go get these berries. I was only 12 years old. It was 1999. And it was like the end of August, like end of summer. Like when everything is in bloom and everything, like, love that time of year. But anyway, so I'm walking. King's with me. And I'm about to take a turn to the right.
Starting point is 00:11:26 And as I take the turn, I see King. He just basically freezes in front of me. And of course, I'm usually. more like looking at the ground. I was, you know, looking at the flowers. And then I see my dog all of a sudden he freezes, you know, basically in front of me. And I'm like, what's up, boy? Like, what's got you scared or whatever?
Starting point is 00:11:50 And then like I look ahead as about 20, 25 feet, not too far. And I see this black figure. I was, it was hairy. I thought it was a black bear, honestly. Like, just my mind could not compute what I was looking at because at this time I had no idea what a Sasquatch was. Like, I mean, I didn't even watch Harry and the Henderson's time I was probably 14. So that was probably one of the first times I even learned about what a Sasquatch was.
Starting point is 00:12:32 but when it stood up on two legs it was massive I mean I have never ever seen a person that big before I mean I've gone to like a wrestling like WWW wrestling and I saw the big show
Starting point is 00:12:52 I've seen The Undertaker they're big guys but they look small compared to this guy And so my dog, he backed up, like right up against my leg, just tight against me. And he was just kind of low to the ground, almost frozen in place. But like he didn't run away, thankfully. I probably, I don't know what would have happened.
Starting point is 00:13:21 I just felt like, thank you to my dog, you know, for not leaving me behind. Pardon me. it's standing there looking at me and its hair is uh reminds me of human hair like looked like human hair uh it was long looked kind of silky actually nice mostly he didn't he doesn't he didn't look up like uh really um how would i describe sorry um he looked so human It's just really, it's just really jarring, thinking back to it. So the first look that he had on his face that I noticed, like, emotional was kind of like mine. It felt like we were both like, oh, shit, like he almost had this look like, you see me?
Starting point is 00:14:29 Like a very surprise for a moment look. And then all of a sudden his face just went completely like neutral, like from surprise. big eye to like just straight face. He didn't look aggressive. He didn't show his teeth or growl or anything, you know. He was just very quiet. He didn't have any leaves or anything in his, in his hair. I mean, his hair was nice.
Starting point is 00:14:58 It was madded in a couple of spots. But like for the most part, you know, like he didn't look like really old. He kind of, to me, seemed more like maybe middle-aged or maybe a little younger in his prime. Just from the sense that I got, honestly, his eyes were so piercing because they were like a gold,
Starting point is 00:15:23 amber kind of color. And they were the most, they were so big. Like they were huge. Like this thing must have been at least eight to nine feet tall. like though I mean I was 12 right and it's it's literally a giant so anything would probably look giant but to me he looked pretty virgin big but like I feel like this is Sophia Bush from work in progress with Sophia Bush and now a break from our sponsor Miracle Grow let's be real

Starting point is 00:18:30 in my mind after all these years, trying to attempt to calculate, kind of later on down the line when I was like 16, I tried to use a measuring tape and try and figure out like the relative height just from that tree that he was standing near. I mean, he was there picking berries when I walked up on him and he looks really happy and content until I came along.
Starting point is 00:18:58 So, That is a fascinating description of what you saw. Do you remember anything particular about how the head, maybe the shape of the head looked or anything like that? Yeah. Kind of like I sort of cone shape, but not completely. More normal looking head, but just overall, just bigger, just a bigger. head like a massive head. Like just
Starting point is 00:19:35 it's insane. Like I can't believe how massive he was like his hands, his feet, his friggin everything and his damn. I don't even want to talk about the other thing that was just dangling there. Like dude. But like what can you do? I mean, it's not like you expect them to have clothes on or anything. But, um,
Starting point is 00:19:58 he was very calm honestly when he and I were we were like in having eye contact I was scared but I was also kind of curious because I'd literally never seen anything like that in my life and I'd always believed as a kid you know that maybe fairies did exist you know maybe these other mythological creatures once existed and we just don't know for sure and you know know, some things are never certain until proved otherwise. So, and I always just kind of, I
Starting point is 00:20:35 suppose, was a whimsical child in that way. And so seeing this big, hairy, wild man, this giant, you know, standing there so close, um, my grandfather taught me as a child, like, from a very young age, because I, I used to love hunting and fishing and being outdoors. with him. And he was like, if you ever come across a bear or a cougar, just stay very calm. Do not turn your back to them, back away slowly. Do not run whatever you do, right? So that was kind of what was going through my head is this looks like a human. And yet he looks like a sort of animal like just because the hair all over his body and his smell too. I mean, at first I smelled it a little bit as I was approaching,
Starting point is 00:21:32 but I just thought that was cows. Like genuinely, I didn't, it was just musky and smelled like, like wet dog a bit and and just earthy smells, I guess. Yeah, like just a wild animal smell is how I would just describe it, but it wasn't over, like, overbearing. Like, even when I was standing there, like, I could only, I could smell him a smidge and bit, but not very much. It's weird because, like, where I saw him, so, like, at this back part of the property
Starting point is 00:22:10 of the farm, there's a river, there's like a 15, 20 foot drop off. And then there's the river, and that's, like, literally the end, the end cut of the property, right? and there's like a birch forest, just all these beautiful white birch trees everywhere at this one part. It's incredible. I used to love playing there because I called it those, you know, forest of ghosts and whatever as a kid. And like sometimes I'd find weird things. Like I'd find trees very high up just snapped off, you know, like trees that are.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Not little trees. Some of them were even still young trees, like not even like dead. And they didn't look like they should have been dead, you know? It was weird. And I found sometimes like formations with rocks, I guess. Like I even found some bones at one point, like a carcass of a deer, some other bones. like it looked kind of like a little animal graveyard a bit. But my grandpa also said that he sometimes would take like parts of animals that he had butchered or whatever and he'd just throw the scraps out there, you know, out there in the forest.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Why would he give back to nature? Okay. Okay. Yeah. In his mind, well, okay, at first I didn't understand it either. but then he told me later on that he did it because it seemed to keep them away from us. Like he felt like if I just give them some portions from the garden, you know, food that's like overly ripe or whatever and just, you know, whatever's left of whatever I butcher it. I'll just put it like throw it away, you know, really far away from us out there in the woods.
Starting point is 00:24:03 There was a spot. And he said that he felt like they had, it was like an understanding. like they wouldn't come into our space and they never did like I never saw them ever enter the yard or nothing like I never saw the eyes shine come any closer than from the woods so thank goodness never felt like I was being watched in my own home that was nice that's that is a plus I want to get back to your grandfather a little later but I also want to make sure that that we give your encounter the full time as well. And I just have some questions for you. So, you know, you're looking at the face. You're looking at in the face. And it's always interesting how some people will describe what they see.
Starting point is 00:25:01 And I'm just curious, what did you notice about the features of the face when you're actually looking at it? he looked um he reminded me of like i've seen some pictures that were old black and white photos of some native american chieftains um from back in the day and he just reminded me of like a very native american looking in the face i guess um his nose was pretty was quite wide and his lips were you know quite wide like his just whole face was just so big. So his hair was like swept back out of his face. It didn't look messy or anything.
Starting point is 00:25:50 You had kind of a beard sort of going on. Didn't look really all too messy. But of course it had been raining that morning. So you never know. Maybe he got a shower. But his eyes were very human to me. They were actually. They stood out quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:26:11 His hair was very black, but it had a bit of a reddish tinge to it. And like I've heard people say that they can look really, really dark, like a shadow dark. But he didn't look that dark to me. He looked just like a really like a nice, just of a black hair, basically. That's that's it with some red hue to it in the light. I mean, we were literally standing there in the lights. And I could see his features quite well because it was sunny and there was no cloud in the sky, which to me makes it even more insane just because like these being seemed to be so cautious. So the fact that he was very comfortable, just, you know, they're crouched, eating away happily.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Like, no deal, you know. It was just kind of funny to me when I look back and think about it. Would you say that the actions it was doing as it was picking the berries, would you say they were more human-like or more maybe ape-like or maybe a mixture of the two? Honestly, it reminded me more of like, I suppose, how a human might just be there, crouched, just eating. But, I mean, it could have been maybe a little bit of a... mix of the two, but I felt like he was just sitting there like a normal, like any person would just
Starting point is 00:27:47 chowing down and enjoying himself, basically. That was just kind of the feeling I got, I just got the sense like I was interrupting him. Maybe like I just came along and like these beings though, they seem so in touch with their environment. So I'm like surprised that I was able to even like come across him at all to be honest, especially when he had that really surprised look on his face, know, when he turned and looked at me. But, yeah, I remember also being very quiet, just standing there, us looking at each other. I felt this weird feeling come over me at one point. I was curiosity.
Starting point is 00:28:28 I lifted my hand very slowly and just gave a little wave with my fingers and just kind of like, like just to see what he would do. I was kind of curious, I don't know, childish, whatever. I was scared. but I was also like, are you a person? Like, I'm literally thinking to myself,
Starting point is 00:28:46 like, are you a person or are you like a wild animal? Like, so anyway, he gave, he gave like a grunt basically at me. He just gave a grunt. Just one grunt.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Yeah, it was a deep kind of grunt, and I felt like this weird, um, sensation in my body. It was very odd, like a, numbing, tingling.
Starting point is 00:29:10 I even had like this weird ringing in my ear at one point, which is odd. And yeah, he just turned. It was like when he turned, his whole upper body turned, you know, he had a very thick neck. I will say this right now. Like physically, he was, wow, built. Like, I mean, he looked like he could take down a buffalo or something. He was so built. Like his traps were massive.
Starting point is 00:29:40 His shoulders. He didn't have much of a neck. He had a neck, but it was like super thick. And it's just his traps. They were just so freaking massive. Like it's ridiculous. It almost reminds me of a bowl or something. And he looked healthy.
Starting point is 00:29:57 He didn't look sickly or anything like that. His skin was kind of a gray color. I describe it as like a gray color. That's interesting. So the actual skin tone was kind of gray, you're saying. Yeah. Yeah, he was like gray with like black, nice black hair. It was kind of like wavy.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Like, you know, if you, if a woman or person has like long, wavy, silky hair, it kind of looked like that. Like on his arms and his legs, it would be about, you know, four to six inches long hair, sometimes two inches long. You know, like on his face. His chest, it had not as much hair, which is surprising, but it was kind of like a little bit thinner on his chest. his stomach. He had hair down there, but it didn't hide much, I'm afraid. Also, you know, he had the thickest thighs and arms, like, holy crap. Bodybuilder, like even, I don't even know, maybe more than a bodybuilder, because like, that was just crazy how, like, Eddie Hall, one of the strongest men in the world. And he made him look like small. And that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:31:09 He's like a heavyweight champion or bodybuilder or whatever. So. Did you notice any specific details about the hands or the feet? Yes. So he looked like he had human hands and feet, but he definitely had like hair on his hands and feet. But not much. Like he had some hair on top of his hands,
Starting point is 00:31:35 some on top of his feet. But like for the most part, I could see that there was just like a lot of dark skin and like dark gray skin. Hey, um, his hands and feet looked a little bit rougher. Like, um, understandably, they're probably using their hands and feet, you know, for everything, obviously hunting and everything else. So I'm sure. But like, that's probably the one part on his body that looked the more worn or rough.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Like his nails were kind of like, They didn't, they weren't sharp. They looked like normal human nails. And they were kind of maybe a little cracked, some of them. But yeah, like his hands and feet look pretty human to me, honestly. I didn't, I didn't notice really anything differently. Other than his fingernails and toes seem to be like more dark, like almost black or something. It's kind of weird.
Starting point is 00:32:35 That is very weird, actually. the same number of fingers and toes as a human would have. Yeah, five fingers, five toes. Yeah, just massive. Right. Yeah, a lot bigger than we're going to have, obviously. So you're saying the individual, he turned and then started to walk away then? Yeah, when he turned his whole upper body turned, it's like, it's not like with a person.
Starting point is 00:33:02 You could just turn your neck and then turn your body. It was like a whole thing turns. and then he just walks into the white birch forest. And it's literally like 10 steps. I can hear the movement of the trees, you know, some cracks of wood. And then absolute silence, like absolute nothing. And it was, and that is the thing I noticed too is when he and I were apart from each other, everything was so quiet.
Starting point is 00:33:31 I couldn't hear nothing. I could hear my dog whimper occasionally. and I certainly felt like whimpering, but I tried my best not to do so. I just didn't get a sense like he was going to hurt me. I felt like if he really wanted to, he could literally have reached me in no problem and snatched my little 12-year-old butt up and taking me. I do not think my dog could have done anything to stop him, though that I think that's just me.
Starting point is 00:34:04 I mean, my dog, he literally fended the farm against bear, cougar, coyotes, all kinds of creatures over the years. But this was very different. I could tell because my dog was shaking, just he seemed a little shaking, like literally. And I'm shaking, just talking about it because I feel like I could feel like my dog's fear. And I also was like, just stay calm, just stay calm. Everything's going to be okay. I didn't get a sense of danger. I just, but I know, like, after that experience, that made me think, holy shoot, I could, I could have been the end of me.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Like, I could have been come a missing 4-1-1 or something and that would be the end of me. And I'm so glad that didn't happen.

Starting point is 00:37:48 in the firm as impuptuptuptu, the distribution of 2026. Actually, yeah, okay, so like, So like, it seems almost like their ankle is, it seemed like it wasn't quite in the normal place that like a human ankle would be, pardon me, it seemed almost like lower or something. And maybe it was really odd. Like the way he talked, like the way he walked, sorry, was very smooth. Like I couldn't, I could barely like, I could barely even hear him moving. Like he was, it's crazy how quiet it was.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Because after he was gone, like the everything in the forest returned to normal and all the noises came back. But it was like for that moment, when he and I were there together interacting for that moment, it felt like almost like time stopped and like everything like around me. And it was really, to be honest, I feel almost almost. comforted kind of weirdly enough. Like I feel scared, but at the same time, I don't feel maybe I should be more scared.
Starting point is 00:39:05 But I've also been kind of curious about a lot of things like supernatural or cryptid-related for a long lot of years since I was a kid. But the fact that it even happened to me, it was just, I was just a normal person until until that. And then, and then, of course, like a couple weeks later, I end up seeing him again. Really?
Starting point is 00:39:35 Yeah, I saw the big guy again. He was not alone either. He was actually with, like, a female and a little one. And this is crazy. Like, I mean, the first site, the first time I saw him, you know, after everything returned normal, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:39:56 holy shit, I got to run back home. I got to tell my grandpa what I saw. Like, and yeah, I can definitely tell you what he told me, if you'd like. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:40:08 anything that you would feel comfortable sharing. Anything you'd feel comfortable sharing would be great. Okay. Well, so my grandfather was, always a very practical man, a very hardworking, down-to-earth person. He was my hero, and I miss him terribly. He was always such someone you could always turn to that would think calm, you know,
Starting point is 00:40:40 when things were kind of crazy. And when I got home, he was like, where have you been? We were starting to get worried. It's been, like, you know, almost an hour. and I'm like, well, I got to tell you something. And I wanted to talk to him alone. So took a little walk and I explained that I had, Grandpa, grandpa, I saw a big hairy man.
Starting point is 00:41:09 He was black colored. His hair, you know, I was like, he looked like some kind of wild man or something. Like he was just as really. giant hairy man on the back end of your property down where, you know, all the saskatoon berries are and the strawberries and everything. Because we had loads of raspberry, strawberries, blueberries, saskatoons, like you name it. Wild rhubarb. I mean, where we lived, we had a lot of really yummy natural foods that just grew on land. So we were very lucky. And I feel like maybe that was part of the reason why they probably liked my grandpa's property.
Starting point is 00:41:53 And I think that's why they always kind of lingered on the edges. And I'm, yeah, I don't know. That's just kind of my thoughts. And plus he did sort of start giving them, you know, leftovers and whatever now and then. It's just my grandfather always felt like it's important to give back to nature, that it's important to, you know, if you have extra anything, you know, make sure you can give to the community and give it back to nature, give back to animals so that they can eat because, you know, sometimes animals struggle and they go through a lot during the winter.
Starting point is 00:42:33 So, like, we were always kind of like that. I don't know, he was always a very, a very good gentleman, but tough as nails. That's for sure. But it's just, I guess before I was born, And he said that sometimes things in the garden would go missing, you know, during the night. He'd find stuff gone, you know, like we had squashes that would go missing. You know, we'd have all kinds of greens that would go missing. I'm not 100% sure on everything per se because he never really went into that detail. But he said that it got on his nerves. was like, screw it. I'm just going to build a friggin' garden for these, whatever they are, all the way over, way the hell away, and just hope the hell that they'll get the hint and just
Starting point is 00:43:32 go there and not take from our garden because he felt like that stealing and they're being past, he did not feel comfortable with the notion of, because here in Canada, we don't exactly have a lot for guns. Like, I mean, we have like the occasional, you know, we have rifles and stuff for hunting. And he just did not feel like it would be wise to pull guns out, especially a rifle, like a 22 or anything else. He just did not feel like any of these guns would do a whole heck of a lot. He didn't have like big game hunting guns at the time. So in his opinion, he felt like if I do something, what if it angers these creatures and they start doing things that make it really hard to live there peacefully.
Starting point is 00:44:20 So he just kind of decided, I hope that this is enough that they'll just recognize, hey, this is for you guys. Stay over there, basically. And they did. Like, they never came in the yard. Nothing went missing again from the garden. Everything was fine.
Starting point is 00:44:36 And sometimes when there was extra crap, you just go and give it to the cows and, you know, the pigs and the goats and all that anyway. Like, so it didn't really matter. like in his mind, he's like, these creatures are going to come and take the food from my animals. Or I can just leave, you know, some out there for them and hopefully they won't steal from my animals. Because like everything always happened at night while we're asleep. So my grandfather, his parents were Norwegian, like he's Norwegian descendant.
Starting point is 00:45:12 He grew up in Canada, but he grew up with a lot of stories about, you know, giants and like a lot of Norfolk kind of stories. And he believed that there were things that existed that maybe were beyond our ability to understand or fully comprehend, you know, even spiritual things. And so like for him, he just kind of felt like, I don't want war with these things, whatever they are. He genuinely just wanted to live his life out there peacefully because my grandma and a great grandmother, they were the sweetest ladies, but they could be a little, sometimes they could get a little bit like anxiety. And he just did not think that they would be able to handle knowing that information
Starting point is 00:46:06 and did his absolute best to keep it just to himself. Like he carried this by himself for so long, you know, and then I tell him my experience. And now all of a sudden he's like, well, you've seen the big guy. So I might as well tell you some things and kind of explain to you why I didn't want you going to certain parts of the property, like where certain parts of the forest are.
Starting point is 00:46:36 And I didn't really know how I felt about you going out there to pick those berries, to be honest. Even though it's not far, I still had a feeling like, you know, something was off, like, especially because I was gone a little bit longer than expected because they literally told me, you know, you're only can be gone for so long and then we expect you back type deal. So, so I was 12. So, like, I knew the property really well, but I was definitely the kind of kid that was rambunctious and like to run off into the woods and play and play pretend with my animals. He's such a nerd like that. But yeah, I was very close with nature.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Like, I always loved nature. I always loved running around barefoot, except for in the cowfield, nope. Right. Yeah, good call. But, yeah, like, I, yeah, I loved it. Like, I was, I loved it because we had a giant family rock. There is actually, that's hilarious. Like, not far from the garden, there was a rock, a giant rock.
Starting point is 00:47:37 And it was painted with flowers on it. It was so cute. And I loved it. And it was like a family project that my mom and grandma did together. And it's funny because there were sometimes were things that were on that rock, things that would be wrapped up and like leaves with, I don't know, some sort of, I'm not exactly sure how to describe it. It's like sometimes there was a pretty rock.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Sometimes there was some pretty flowers. Sometimes these flowers had medicinal properties, I guess, like wild lavender or sage or whatever. It was interesting. I don't know. I don't know. Sometimes, like, there'd be little things, like little trinkets on there. And my grandpa would just take them and I'd be like, I just wouldn't think about it, really. He'd be like, oh, it's just a gift from the fairies.
Starting point is 00:48:37 but in reality now I think I know maybe where those things were coming from. It's very interesting. I never quite understood it myself, but. That is a fantastic detail as well. Yeah. Sounds like the entire interactions that your grandfather had were very peaceful, though, with the creatures. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:03 He never felt threatened by them, but he did say that that, that didn't mean that they weren't capable of becoming threatening. So he was, I don't, he was very cautious man. Honestly, that was one of the things I always respected about him is he was never a fool. He always thought things through very,
Starting point is 00:49:21 very clearly before he did anything. And I love that about him because somehow he managed to make it work. And it was kept a secret for so long. And I, I kept it a secret. Like I couldn't talk to anybody but him. I talked to my mom eventually about it, but it took me years before I finally opened up to her about it. I mean, and then my second experience happened, and that was crazy because I was with my grandfather when it happened.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Before we get into that, a few more questions for context. This area, how close is your nearest neighbor in this area, would you say? About a mile, mile and a half away. Okay. Oh, I'm about 20, 30 minutes away from the town, high prairie. That's about how far it was. We're out there pretty far. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:50:19 Pretty spread out. It's either a lot of farming land or a lot of forest. So I am very interested to hear how you and your grandfather actually had a siting together, which is very poetic in a way, really, that you both were able to experience the family together. I agree. Yeah, I never really thought of it that way, but no, that's true, actually. Yeah, I mean, it's something we ended up sharing together a lot, actually.
Starting point is 00:50:54 It definitely brought us closer. Okay. I'll be happy to tell you what happened. It was a couple of weeks after I saw the big guy the first time. So it's like 9.30 in the morning. And we're in my grandfather's old beat-up Ford truck. Just one of those old-fashioned farm trucks you can take out there and have fun and whatever. And we're just driving down the cut.
Starting point is 00:51:31 and we're going to the back cut of the property and we're driving along the river. We went to go check on the cows because they were off in this back field and we were just talking and enjoying the morning sun. It was a beautiful day. I mean, just perfect, honestly. I can still remember having the window rolled down.
Starting point is 00:51:55 And so after we check on the cows, he wanted to check on the calves, make sure everything was going good, like the younger cows anyway. Excuse me. So he turns around, we're driving back, and we're going to go back home. So we're going very slow. We're just casually enjoying chatting, whatever. And then I'm looking down at the river, off the drop, you know.
Starting point is 00:52:25 And this is Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush. And now a break from our sponsor, Miracle Grow. Let's be real.

To learn more about the FIFA World Cup coming this June, visit Los Angeles FWC26.com. or visit Garden Grove Kea-Oy-Oh Well, basically I end up seeing the big guy down there on the other side of the river
Starting point is 00:55:20 off the drop and he wasn't alone he was standing there with his hands in the water. And he had another with him. He had a little one as well. The one that was bigger with him was a female. She was, she looked thick.
Starting point is 00:55:48 I'm not going to lie. She looked like a broad shoulders, just thick, kind of like Patty looking sort of. But she didn't look like, in my opinion, and she didn't look that old. And she was like a red-brown color, actually kind of a nice color. And the little one was like in the water
Starting point is 00:56:13 and she picked it up. She leaned down, picked it up in her arms and just held it and it wrapped its arms around her neck and shoulders. And they were literally just stopping doing what they were doing and they were just looking up at me and looking up at the truck. And again, I'm just seeing them standing there.
Starting point is 00:56:35 And I'm like, what? Grandpa, grandpa. And I'm like leaning over and I'm like patting him on the arm. Like, Grandpa, you need to stop the truck. The big guy is down there. He's with his family. He's not alone. Like I'm like, please, grandpa, stop.
Starting point is 00:56:52 We need to, I need to show you so you know that I'm not lying. Like, see? And he's just not stopping. and he's like, Megan, it's okay. Take a deep breath. I could see him as we're passing. I'm like, well, he's like, I know he's there. And I guess he's showing us his family.
Starting point is 00:57:16 He just didn't quite understand it himself. He just thought, oh, well, they're probably fishing or something. And I'm just kind of like he has a family. I mean, he has this little fluffy. He almost looked like almost grill, like sort of, but not quite just like just really floofy looking, the little guy. And he had dark hair like his dad. He looked a lot like his dad. He had, you know, like kind of like a brownish face, though, more like his mom.
Starting point is 00:57:51 But he had like reddish, dark brown black hair. It was very interesting. And they were just standing there next to each other and the baby in her arms just looking up at us as we're driving by. And so like my grandpa decides he's like, okay, Megan, look, I think when you're a little older, I will tell you more about the big guy and his family. He's like, I just want you to know that nothing is going to happen as long as you stay, you know, stay home or, you know, you're with some. somebody, just be smart, basically. Just don't go out in the woods anymore on your own if you don't feel safe or comfortable, basically. You know, he's like, just be smart about it.
Starting point is 00:58:40 And he's like, these things have been here longer than us. Like, he's like, I have a feeling that when I moved here, you know, we settled here. Maybe they had been here or maybe they had come through this area before. and he's like, we are here. This is their domain. This is the wilderness, you know. Even though we have these fields and everything, at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:59:11 they live out in the wild off the land. And he's like, they're very quiet and private for the most part. I've never seen them really ever. He's like, I've only seen them a couple of times. But like, it was never for very long. and he never had any violent experiences either, but he did say that the big guy, like he felt as though he could be very dangerous
Starting point is 00:59:42 if he did anything at all that he might think was aggressive. So he just did his absolute best. Like my grandpa, he even looked up some information on chimps or guerrillas. She just kind of wanted to try and understand what the heck he was even looking at because he himself like he just thought oh it's a giant giants
Starting point is 01:00:03 are real what the hell or like you know and then it's like maybe there's just like some kind of ancient human that is extremely anything to do with people like maybe they're an ancestor like maybe they're an alien
Starting point is 01:00:21 who knows like he personally thought that maybe they were like kind of partially spiritual being and partially physical. And I think I kind of agree with him, but I'm not 100% on that. But, um,
Starting point is 01:00:38 yeah, there was this one night. This was really actually one of the creepiest, weirdest things that I remember happening. Um, this was probably like a year later. Um, but it was nighttime.
Starting point is 01:00:55 And we would have coyotes that would, um, come on the property. Sometimes we'd even see wolves occasionally. Like we were, my grandfather's farm was near an area called Swan Hills. Like it, it was very wild.
Starting point is 01:01:12 There's hills, you know, miles upon miles upon miles upon miles of wilderness. Like, it's insane how thick and dense it is out there. And there's just so much that you can live off of the land, you know, here.
Starting point is 01:01:28 Honestly, Canada has so much diversity when it comes to plants and animals. I really believe that these creatures were living out here for the most part just fine. But I can tell from looking at big guy that I have a feeling their lives are probably pretty difficult or pretty harsh. Just a thought, but I'm not sure. I would agree with you. You know, what I've heard about your area, it seems like a very wild and the winters can be very hard up there for sure.
Starting point is 01:02:02 Very brutal. Actually, that's one of the things that my grandfather specifically told me is because winters here can be so brutal, especially where he was living because he's pretty much out in like the middle of nowhere. Like he had to like, you know, hire somebody to come out with a grader to do the, the roads and stuff because our entire road going up to our house, you know, would just get snowed and snowed so much. And we definitely did not want to get stuck out there because that could easily have happened if we weren't smart. Thank goodness. He was a very prepared man for winter. But yeah, there were some very brutal winters that I even remember as a kid. And he said that sometimes winters were so brutal that he would hear almost
Starting point is 01:02:52 like a sound of a gunshot going off in the woods. But he was like, nah, it's just a tree breaking. because sometimes if it gets so cold, sometimes like little trees or whatever or branches will snap off every now and then just because it's so cold. And he felt like, I guess kind of sorry for a lot of the animals, especially these beings for whatever reason. He just kind of felt like we have plenty. We have more than enough. We have so much, in fact, that we're going to end up throwing stuff away and it's going to be a waste. So he was kind of like screw it. I'll just go and leave all this crap way far out in the woods away from home
Starting point is 01:03:35 and kind of as almost maybe an offering to the land even and just kind of be like here, this is our portion. We're giving back kind of to nature. I hope this will do kind of thing. Like he even told me sometimes he'd just talk like. This is Sophia Bush from Work in Progress with Sophia Bush. And now a break from our sponsor, Miracle Grow.

But for him, even seeing something like that was very.
Starting point is 01:06:54 jarring. He just never really talked about it much. He just felt like it's something beyond his comprehension because he, you know, was very, very old school. Excuse me, sorry, he was very old school. Like he was just a very hardworking person, very, you know, not the type to be dreaming like me, like how I was when I was younger. He sounds like a guy who the world needs a lot more people like him, you know, that respect the land and just a hardworking good guy. You're very lucky to have a grandpa like him for sure. I was very lucky too, actually, very lucky.
Starting point is 01:07:43 If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't know the difference between deer dung and bear dung. and like just other hunting or fishing like activities like he was he just always felt like nature will heal you and it'll help you get in touch with your true self and make like bring out the best in you because like you have to push yourself in nature to survive or to eat you know so he was always kind of like don't ever kill anything you don't intend to eat don't ever waste like he was very much against wastefulness so. Megan, there was a few minutes ago where you had started to bring up that there was one night where something very unsettling happened. Oh, yes. Do you remember, do you mind sharing that? Yes, I would love to. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:08:36 Thank you. So what happened was there were very large packs of coyotes. There still are here in Alberta and Canada. they can be a real problem for livestock. And so at this time, this was a year later, it was nighttime, probably around. I'm going to say 1030, 11.30 at night, very, very dark out. The lights are on in the yard, but beyond that point, pitch black. And I could hear all the coyotes just, you know, howling, what a doing normal coyote, you know, sounds.
Starting point is 01:09:15 And I could hear the dogs, you know, they. they'd go out there to make sure the perimeter was guarded and that the coyotes knew that they weren't welcome. Well, the coyotes were just making so much racket. And it's like, what in the hell? Like, it went from being kind of normal sounds like coyotes to all of a sudden sounding almost like just way more racket. Like, it was just weird. It was almost like alarmed sounds or something and I felt okay this is what's weird is there was this loud like like this freaking all of a sudden and then just fucking like excuse me it's this absolute silence and I'm like what in the hell was that I was literally I was just had the window open and I'm sitting in the bedroom
Starting point is 01:10:08 watching a movie and I hear this and then silence and no more coyote sounds and And I see the dogs come running back in the yard and they just go and hide in the doghouse. The other one goes and hides under the trailer. And I'm like, okay, I was freaking weird. So yeah, I was kind of like, what in the F? And then years later, I was just, I've been kind of thinking about it. And I was like, maybe he was just sick and tired of all the racket. I have no idea.
Starting point is 01:10:42 Well, that was not me. It wasn't my grandpa. That did not sound like an animal to me that I've ever heard. I've never in a million years heard something just such a loud, bellowing, it wasn't like a roar, though, but it was like a loud-ass scream. That is willies. That's wild. It was like a really deep voice.
Starting point is 01:11:10 It was so loud. It was crazy. I scared the crap out of me. Was that the only time that you had heard sounds like that from the woods that you didn't recognize to be other animals or? Other than like tree knocks occasionally I would hear like loud, loud snapping sounds or loud, like sometimes like a tree was getting pushed over sometimes. And sometimes it would sound like a bat was being hit against another like a tree or something. echo every now and then but like mostly it was
Starting point is 01:11:46 just sometimes just the weird feeling of being watched sometimes I'd see lights out way out in the distance I would just like hey what the road is over here and this is only one road that comes in and out of this place that's it
Starting point is 01:12:01 this is literally one singular road so why would anybody be out there in the woods on the very back part of the property like why were their lights out there? And it was, and I'm like, better not be people creeping.
Starting point is 01:12:19 Like my grandpa told me that every now and then he'd see these weird lights sometimes and they wouldn't be around much. But like every now and then, he'd see like these weird little orbs, I guess. Like one was big and look kind of like the size of, oh, I don't know, like a grapefruit maybe.
Starting point is 01:12:38 But like mostly, yeah, they just, they were just always really far away, but he always said that it was weird how they were just kind of moving along through the woods, and then they'd just be gone, you know? He also said that
Starting point is 01:12:53 just the, the eye shine was creepy and I agreed with him because it was. I wouldn't see it happen very often, but I definitely saw it at least three different occasions. I saw, like I saw a pair of green glowing up, eyes. They were pretty friggin' high up. And then I saw another pair, which were the kind of yellow
Starting point is 01:13:18 glowing. Um, yeah. And that's, that's about all I can recall for that is seeing, yeah, that color of eyes sometimes. So I didn't know if it was a cow or what, but like it was situated in a weird part of the woods since the cows in the field would always be over like in one section. and the where the eye shine was was situated pretty much right across from my from my grandparents trailer right across the road all the way into the tree line like so it's like they could see everything that was happening you know like the entirety of like the whole side of the trailer and the whole yard it's I just feel like maybe sometimes I don't know maybe they were just watching because they were bored I have no idea why
Starting point is 01:14:12 why they do what they do. I'm just glad they never came in the yard because that would have been so freaking scary seeing one of the night. It was scary enough, seeing him during the day. I mean, I don't know. It's just really jarring. It's so, it's just, man, you never think that
Starting point is 01:14:30 something that it looks human and just seems so human like that massive, that powerful, that mysterious could, exist out there and it's and the fact that it keeps itself hidden and it's so intelligent.

Starting point is 01:17:43 We used to have, you know, more respect for the balance of things and be closer. And maybe we were closer with some of these beings because like I've heard stories, you know, some native tribes having them as kind of like wood, like neighbors of the woods. And most of the time they just kept to themselves. But like they were recognized as like another tribe, you know, of people just kind of wild people, people that preferred to live in the old ways and did not want anything to do with us because I don't know, maybe they just saw the way we treat each other over the thousands of years. Who knows? You know, maybe we went to war with them thousands of years ago and because I've
Starting point is 01:18:29 heard like, you know, tales of that as well. And definitely people have had some very nasty run-ins with these creatures and I could believe it. These beings, seemed very peaceful. They seemed more human than ape or animal to me. They really did. But I've also heard stories of creatures that are genuinely terrifying that look like, well, like an experiment gone wrong, like a monster. And I've been told that there are evil ones and good ones, just like there are people that are good and evil. And these beings somehow can, they can tell what your like what your interest is in them I guess
Starting point is 01:19:13 like I don't know if it's true if they can read your mind but I mean I've certainly heard tales of mind speak and anything is possible I certainly felt some sort of weird connection with the one that I saw
Starting point is 01:19:28 the big male and years later being told you know even by a medicine woman that I just just met randomly. She approached me and she told me that in a past life, you were a medicine woman and these being, like you have the site to be able to see things.
Starting point is 01:19:50 And I'm like, okay, well, it's nice to meet you. Stranger, I just met. But she was like, I'm a medicine woman. I just wanted you to know that I see that there's something, you know, that you have some kind of site or something or some kind of connection. and I'm like, okay. And, you know, it's just at the time. Like, I mean, I've studied a lot of, a lot of things when it comes to spirituality,
Starting point is 01:20:16 religion, history. I like, you know, biology, archaeology, paleontology. I love all that stuff. I think it's amazing, you know, and it's good to learn about our history. And I feel like we're doomed to repeat the same mistakes if we don't learn our about history. And I feel like these beings are a. part of our history and I don't feel like it's quite right that so much about them is kept a secret or hidden by certain government branches but I get it.
Starting point is 01:20:50 I think a lot of people might not be prepared or ready quite yet to accept fully the notion that there are other beings that could potentially be more intelligent than us in some ways. We as humanity, we've evolved amazingly in a lot of ways and we can dominate almost any area of our planet, but there are still some parts of it that we can't. And these beings, they know how to at least coexist with the planet. And I'm trying my best to kind of, I suppose, follow that example. Like my whole life, I've definitely, I mean, I've seen weird things. Like, I've seen some shadow beings before. You know, I've had a dark entity that messed with me once.
Starting point is 01:21:42 It was really scary, actually, because it literally tried to, like, possess me. And that really terrified me. And I was very lucky. Thank goodness. Like, I had some help. Praying, actually, to God and Jesus really did. Like, I feel like that really did save me. because for, I was just getting involved in a lot of stuff I shouldn't have at one point, like witchcraft.
Starting point is 01:22:07 And I just wanted to understand these things. But then I came to realize all I need is God. All I need is Jesus. All I need is to have some faith and try my best to be a decent person and live in the moment and be grateful, you know, for what I have. So like that's basically, yeah, I'm at peace. And I feel that more than I've, ever felt. But for a lot of years, I searched for answers. I wanted to understand why is it that I ended up meeting a being like this and then seeing his family. And you know what? I kind of feel like maybe that was a show of trust or maybe it was just a random act and I just randomly saw them there and they're just minding their own business fishing. Who knows? Have you heard, I'm just very curious about the area that you're, I'm sure, have you ever heard? Have you ever heard?
Starting point is 01:23:01 Have you ever talked to neighbors and have they told you stories about how they've seen things too? Or is this very like it's kept inside your family and it does not get talked about? It was kept inside the family. I actually wish that my grandfather could have asked our neighbors. That would have been nice, but I don't know if he ever did. If he ever did, he never mentioned it to me. Sure. Does the
Starting point is 01:23:27 Homestead still Is it still owned by your family Or has it been passed on to someone else? It's been sold. It's been sold unfortunately. Actually, that's what's weird too The place has changed a lot. And yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:23:51 I don't know if they've seen anything or experienced anything there. But last I saw the place was very much changed and ever since my grandfather left. So who knows? It's quite isolated though, that's for sure. So if they had any experiences, I just hope that they're happy for the floodlights
Starting point is 01:24:11 that my grandpa still left in the yard. And I hope that they're doing okay and that they're not having any unwanted visitors or any issues because my grandfather, in his way of coexisting with things, I feel in the end really did work out, but it doesn't always work out for other people because I know that,
Starting point is 01:24:35 oh, hello kitty. Sometimes these beings are not always friendly and sometimes, in fact, they don't have a must going on and they seem to be, decide to come into people's lives and torment them or, watch the, all they're in their homes through their windows and be creepers. And that sucks when that happens. And I feel great sympathy for people that have had those experiences that have had the daylight scared out of them by these beings. And I would like to believe that there are
Starting point is 01:25:14 still good ones. I want to believe that. I don't know. Maybe it's because I want to believe they're still good in people. And I really believe that. I have nothing but I have mostly just faith. that in the end good will prevail, that we're going to be okay as long as we all actually come together and recognize how blessed we are because we really live in an age where, you know, less disease,
Starting point is 01:25:40 less poverty, less everything than it was prior centuries. And I just kind of feel like we shouldn't take for granted, you know, the blessings we've been given and this beautiful world that we live. Like, I don't want to be afraid of nature. I don't want to be afraid of going out in the woods.
Starting point is 01:25:59 When I go camping, I definitely sometimes get a little anxious before going. But that's also because I'm like, oh, I just hope one day I don't come across another one and it's not a nice one. Like, that's that's kind of where I think now is like, I do not want to come across any of these special entities or beings that might be demonic. Like if it's a dog man or something, I do not want to see them. and I know they're up here in Canada, just like freaking Wendy goes. All kinds of freaking cryptos, aren't we lucky.
Starting point is 01:26:33 But that's why I'm for you. Megan, I would be remiss not to ask you. Of course. Just because I'm curious. Have you experienced anything else besides Bigfoot in that area? Or is it just bad? the Sasquatch creature that you've experienced?
Starting point is 01:27:02 Other than me seeing some shadow beings at this one house that I went to, the people that lived there said that it always had a very rank, kind of rotten smell in the basement. And they said that their house was haunted and they were just like a friend of the family, you know, and we went there and I just, out of curiosity, I went down in the basement and it smelled really, really bad.
Starting point is 01:27:35 And next thing I know, I see this black shadow figure literally moving from one side of the room to the other right in front of me. And that scared the crap out of me too. And also I've seen little orbs, you know, here and there as well. life. Sometimes I'll see like a weird aura above people's heads, but I don't know what that is. Sometimes it's just like a color, like an energy sometimes. Like this one woman who had an accident, she ended up drowning. And I saw this dark shadow hovering above her head and behind her. And that was, you know, really weird. And then next thing I know, you know, she's like in the river drowned.
Starting point is 01:28:21 and I'm like, oh, crap. And it's just weird. Sometimes I see these weird things and I don't understand it. This has been happening my whole life. For the most part, thankfully, especially these past years, it's been very peaceful and normal. Thank goodness. But I do live in town.
Starting point is 01:28:42 I really don't want to live on a farm again, really. I just, I don't know. It's just kind of a creepy idea or no. that these things could be out there. And I wouldn't know or I would know because sometimes they seem to reveal themselves to me for whatever reason. At least back then,
Starting point is 01:29:04 I haven't seen any sense, thankfully. But who knows? I'm still young. I'm only in my prime. I still have more camping trips to go on. But you have some amazing, amazing stories. And I'm so thankful that you were able to share. them with me and my audience. I mean, I'm just blown away by the family history that you have.
