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. Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you. Hope all as well. Feel free to share what you would want to share. Awesome. Yeah, so I was in the Coast Guard some years ago, and I got stationed up in Humboldt County in Northern California. And upon reporting, it's a gorgeous place. It's kind of infamous for the big foot scene. But it's beautiful, got there, and upon talking to, you know, some of the other people that I had met at the Coast Guard base, I had told them that I was excited to go hiking, at which time I was instructed, you know, to look over a set of, a few sets of maps, because there's a lot of native land up there that we were restricted from visiting. And then,

there were 3,000 known illegal drug operations in the county. So, you know, when you look over the maps, it's like, okay, there's not really a lot of options for places I can go hiking, being in the service. Anyway, it took me a while. And finally, I found a trail. I was super excited about it. So I waited for my wife, then girlfriend, to come and visit. And we went on this hike. And it took us a while to drive out to the trailhead. We get there. There's no other cars. So, you know, we know that we're pretty alone. There's nobody else around. We start to hike. It's beautiful, walking down the trail. And I'd say maybe hour, hour and a half in, I noticed that the forest goes completely silent. And my wife's knee was bothering her. So I was maybe 100 yards ahead of her

on this trail. Forest goes silent, and I took note of it, and I immediately had thought predator. And so I had kind of stopped and started scanning the trees all around me. And my whole body from head to toe just got covered in goosebumps. Like, I've never had that sensation feel so strong. And so I'm scanning. and that's when the smell hits me. And I just, the best way I could describe it is,

um, like the strength of a skunk smell, but not quite a skunk. Um, the smell hits me and I start, it's, it sounds crazy when I say it, but I wasn't thinking this.

I felt like a voice was in my head telling me, leave you do not. belong here. Leave, you do not belong here. And my wife caught up to me and she had said, oh, I made some comment about the smell. And I'll just come out and say, you know, I didn't see anything, but my boots felt stuck to the ground. I felt paralyzed. Like I couldn't keep moving forward anymore. And between kind of that whole experience that I was having, we ended up packing. up and leaving. It was very bizarre and I think for a long time I couldn't explain it. I didn't know what that was and maybe I was in a little bit of denial, but through listening to your show and a

few others, it sounds like some of the things that I experienced line up with Bigfoot experiences. I would say 100%. Yeah. So after that, I didn't go hiking much more, but I fell in love with the area in general and a few years later my wife and I decided to buy a property up in the county and we bought a property actually in a town that the Patterson film was captured so awesome yeah so we own that yeah so we own that property and one of my first time visiting the property I met the neighbor elderly man and he He was sharing with me a little bit of his experience. His family settled the valley in the early 1800s.

So he's, you know, they've been there for generations. And so of course I had to ask if he had any Bigfoot experiences. And he had told me that what he did for work for a lot of his career was he did like plumbing and irrigation. And he would set up, he would set up a lot of the irrigation. and plumbing for the grow-ups that were in the county. And he said that routinely the 1,000-gallon water jugs were getting ripped out of the ground and thrown an inexplicable distance.

And the larger 5,000-gallon ones would be dented and essentially destroyed. And around these big, you know, water tanks, they'd find these mass. massive footprints and it became such a regular thing that people started actually leaving. But of course, they would never report it or call it in or anything because these were illegal grow operations at the time. So those are kind of my two experiences. I'm having a house built up there now with plans to move up there eventually. So I will definitely stay tapped in and see

if anything else comes up. Okay, so you're in the town that people usually associate with it, right? That's what you're saying? Yeah. Yes. Okay, got you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's fantastic.

Yeah, definitely keep in touch with me because you're probably going to, you're going to experience some stuff from here on out once you get there. Absolutely. that's some wild stuff dude that's really cool. Have you ever been to the film site? I have not, not yet. Yeah. But definitely, definitely plan to check it out. Yeah, that would be cool someday for you.

Absolutely. Especially if you live right there, you know. Yeah, it's an absolutely wild place. I don't know if you've visited, but I think. Haven't been there yet. Yeah, people don't realize just how remote it is up there. That's what I hear. I hear it is bonkers. Yeah, it's, it's, I mean, just even from my Coast Guard experience perspective, like, there's such little government presence up there that we were taking calls that would usually be handled by other government agencies.

But I would get calls about aliens and all kinds of things all the time going on up there. No way, really? Oh, yeah. Yeah. So my, my job directly was essentially on the civilians. civilian side, it'd be a mix between like a 911 operator and an air traffic controller. So I dealt with all the search and rescue and all those things and we would get some wild calls. That's awesome, dude. Holy mackerel. Yeah. Yeah, but it's it's a crazy place. If you ever have the chance to visit, I recommend it. It's like the Wild Wild West still up there. It's on the list for sure. I need to make it happen, but I went ahead and gave you, you follow just because I want to be able to keep in touch with you.

But yeah, if you ever have anything happen, you can contact me on here or my email is Bigfoot Society at gmail.com too. But thank you for sharing, man. Yeah, absolutely. Thanks for having me on. Once the property is done and built and everything up there, if you ever passing through, love to have you. And I'm sure my neighbor could tell you 101 stories.

absolutely yeah that would be it would be some wild stuff man i'll keep it in mind thank you yep have a good night you too hey how's it going thanks for coming up feel free to share what you've experienced yeah i was a soldier at fort campbell kentucky from 2004 to 2010 served 27 months in iraq during that time it just kind of seemed like i was going back and fourth over there. But I lived in, oh yeah, you bet, thanks. I lived in Stewart County.

If you look on the map, Fort Campbell's cut between the southern and northern border of Kentucky and Tennessee. So Stewart County is that first county of Tennessee to the south

of that state line, way in the back of the base. And it's in the land between the lakes. And when I got back for my second tour in Iraq, we lived in the country in the land between the lakes, really just a simple little country house way deep in the woods. It's about a 45-minute drive for me to get to base every day. It's really just a peaceful little place. But, you know,

when I got back from Iraq, that second time, I heard a growl that I had never heard before it wasn't a dog it wasn't a bear it was something that was about 50 feet away from me behind the tobacco barn and I ran inside the house

and I said Julie where's my bat and she said I think it's in the closet what's going on I said something in the back something by the tobacco barn and there was my baseball bat

And I grabbed it real quick, and I went, I ran as fast as I could to the tobacco barn because I didn't know what that sound was, but all I wanted to do was to hit it as hard as I could, kill it. And I got to where that sound was. I mean, it was a deep guttural growl that I've never heard before. And I started beating on that tobacco barn. And I said, where are you? Where are you?

and it was complete silence, that thing. And for the rest of the time that we lived there, there was always little things that went on, and I would run up into the woods and confront this thing that kept kind of messing with my property, my house. My son said he would hear things on the roof top. You know, he said that years later,

You know, he actually said that a few years ago when he was actually a young adult. So that Fort Campbell, Kentucky, land between the lake. It's a very strange place. I also have heard things from other soldiers that have incurred that actually saw or heard the dogman, dogman, which is like a dog man. Oh, really? Yeah. Actually on base.

Okay, wow. Really? Yeah. I've heard Fort Campbell has a lot of dog man activity. Yeah. And I, there was the 502nd Infantry Battalion was in the Stewart County, kind of where I was way at the end of the base. they're kind of getting close to land between the lakes. And what happened was one night,

this was about 10 years ago, they were just on a, it was basically a, they were doing their mission, which was your basic infantry mission that you set up throughout the night, they're going to stay up all night, they're going to do their positions.

And the sergeant heard some creeping behind him. He thought it was, private coming to talk to him. And he said, stop moving. What are you doing? And he kept saying similar things like that. And finally, the sergeant got fed up and he took his infrared flashlight, which is basically the flashlight with the red lens.

And he turned around and said, what are you doing? And when he turned around and put the flashlight with the red lens on it, he saw the dog man. And that thing took off into the woods. And that was on the Fort Campbell Army base about 10 years ago. Oh, my goodness, dude. He thought it was his soldier that was 20 or 30 yards from him. It wasn't.

It's just that whole area. And then the stuff I've heard from land between the lakes. And then you take into consideration, Hopkinsville, where the Hopkinsville. Goblins thing happened. It's all in that area, dude. It's just, it's crazy down there. Yeah, and you know, I, and just to throw in this quick story, my wife of almost 20 years now.

When we started dating 20 years ago, we went to the land between the lakes to kind of just get away from the base, get away from Corksville, get away from Hopkinsville, just to kind of have a weekend, you know, to just kind of chill. get away from it all and you know we went to the state park up there

land between Lake State Park and heavy rainstorm I mean thunder lightning the I mean it was we were in the actual

campground we had a tent set up and it was about three in the morning we were still because the lightning and the thunder was keeping us up and we were trying to fight the rain if the rain was coming the water and you know it's practically coming in the tent and uh we heard the streak like i've never heard before just outside of the camp area where everybody was i've never heard that streak before but i've heard other stories of a woman screaming like in trouble that's what it sounded like somebody was being murrayed.

And it sounded like it was just outside of that camp area at Lake Berkeley State Park. And we looked at each other like, what was that? And it was thundering and lightning. And I'll never forget it. Oh, my goodness. That had to been just horrifying. And so Lake Berkeley, so that's southern part of it, looks like. Okay.

Right. Yeah. I hear a lot of stuff up by DeMambon. Bay, which I guess is the northern part of it. Right. But I think the whole place is just crazy from what I've heard. Yeah, and it's really secluded too. So Kentucky does a great job of preserving nature.

So, I mean, I think that's a big part of it too. Oh, man. You've got some intense stories. Thank you so much for coming up and for sharing those. I do appreciate it. And thank you so much. Hey Damien, how are you? What's up, J-Mah?

Hey, doing good, doing good. Oh, yeah, I've been on one time before. I remember your voice. Yeah, but how's it going, man? Oh, yeah, that's going pretty good. Sorry, I'm trying to get right here. Yep. Trying to get myself situated.

Anyway, I told you my story before, but it brought up, I was thinking about it, and it brought up some, like a story my dad told me when I was a kid, and I don't know if it's exactly like Bigfoot, but it kind of sounds a lot like it. Okay. Hold on, I got to turn on this radio. Anyway, this story, he doesn't believe in Bigfoot. And all this, he does believe.

even the paranormal, he thinks it was like a paranormal thing, but I think it was more of a bigfoot thing. It was back in the, so I'm in my 30s, so it was back in, he was like in the 70s when he was a kid or a teenager. The story was, well, this happened in like Athens, Georgia. If anybody, like, if you know about Athens, Athens now is like many Atlanta. It's a big town now. Everybody knows Georgia football, all that good stuff. It's a big booming town now, but back in the 70s, it was kind of small. But this happened in, like, I'd say it was like 73, 74.

But it was in a cemetery. He said that him and his cousin and his best friend, which is now my godfather, used to sneak in the cemetery to fish at this river. Like, sneak away from the house. They used to fish at this river, and it was that night. So they were down fishing at this river. Wasn't having much luck. And, like, now this is a huge cemetery.

It's called O'Connie Hill. Now you can look it up. So they packed up from fishing and was on their walk back home it got dark on them so they were on their walk back home it was dark of course the cemetery's spooky anyway the cemetery had like a seven seven eight foot fence around it you really wasn't supposed to be in there but they snuck in anyway done their fishing was trying to sneak back out right after dark and was walking around the trail that goes around the cemetery And my dad said it was three of them.

And they were walking through the cemetery, and he said that my cousin Timmy looked to his right, dropped his tackle and his fishing poles and just took off running and jumped the fence and passed out. And he said his friend looked to the right, dropped all his stuff. and took off running and jumped the fence. And then he said, he looked to his right. My dad looked to his right. He said, what he saw scared him enough. He took off running, and he wasn't tall enough to jump the fence.

So scrambled under the fence, the hole that they dug to sneak in, scrambled under the fence. And when he met back up with them, they like picked Timmy up which was passed out out of shock I guess passed out and they picked him up and drug him away and when they got him to wake up they were like hey what did you see did y'all all see what did you see what I saw that whole situation and all of them collectively got theirself together and explained to each other what they saw

and what they saw apparently they looked to their right and there was a huge oak tree and they all of them agreed what they saw was two big shoulders and two big hands wrapped around

the oak tree with a head peaked around the side wow it scared them enough to have that reaction and he he thinks it's like more of a paranormal thing because it was a cemetery, but to me it sounds a whole lot like a, you know, a big foot thing.

At that time in the 70s, Athens wasn't so big. Nowadays, Athens is huge. But, yeah, that's just it. Wow, that's extremely interesting. That story gives me the creep. It's a creepy one. And you have West Virginia in Tennessee, I hear some weird Bigfoot stories from cemeteries as well. I don't know what it is, but sometimes you hear them.

But that is a creepy one. Thank you for sharing. It's a really creepy story. It reminds me some others I've heard from Tennessee over by the Smokies. But, man, thank you for sharing that. That is a cool one. Thank you. Oh, yeah.

Most definitely. Hello, how you doing? Good. It's been a while, man. Man, yeah, it's been a little bit, but things are still kicking. We've had some wild stories on here tonight, I see.

It's been out of control, my friend. Hey, you're good with I potentially use the audio from this in the podcast? Oh, you know I am. I know you are, but I have to ask. Yes. Dude, yeah, just some crazy stuff,

but how are things down your neck of the woods? Well, I have been doing some investigating on what I think may not be Bigfoot stuff. You know, I've been looking at Bigfoot thing for 21 years now. And this last case that I looked at has got me stumped. But it's definitely, definitely crypted. but anyway we're here to talk about bigfoot stuff so we'll go with that all right all right i have been i went down of course i'm in northwest alabama as you know and uh i have been going to coon dog cemetery in culvert county uh alabama uh pretty regular this this year and we've had

We've had some pretty interesting interactions down there. This is Matt Rogers from Los Culture Reesis with Matt Rogers and Bowen-Yang.

difficult. Talka Opharmacetico, Patrocinoed by GSC. It's been a cemetery, of course, it's going to draw out things too. But this is a Coon Dog Cemetery, not a human cemetery. And I took a friend of mine and his son-in-law down there here while back. And we did some soundlings.

calls. His son-in-law believes in Bigfoot, but he hadn't never seen any. And my friend believes in Bigfoot, but he's only heard him. And that night, we had, well, the cemetery, let me tell you, there's a pavilion there, and then it goes downhill about 50 feet, and there's a tree line. And it still had the leaves on the trees. They hadn't. They changed, but they hadn't failed yet. And so we did some call blast and waited about 30 minutes and didn't that happen. And we sat down there and, oh, my friend said, you think I ought to do another one? I said, well, it's just been 30 minutes.

You know, sometimes you've got to sit all night long and just listen. And he was getting kind of antsy. So he said, I believe I'm going to do another call black. And he was getting up or getting ready to do it. And there was a scream that come out of the woods that sound like a mix between a trinosaurus rex and a rooster. And I can't explain it any better than that. It wasn't a typical scream, but it wasn't anything I'd ever heard. And we was looking at each other.

And I asked him, I said, oh, you think that was a bugger? And he said, man, you know more about them than me. You've done more than I have. I said, yeah, but I've never heard anything like that. I mean, it started out screaming and ended up cock and doodle do. And I'm like, listen, I don't know what kind of animal could do that. And me and him were both hunters. And he's like, oh, man, I don't either.

I said, well, just out of a. marking off the list, it's not a bear, it's not a cougar, it's not a coyote, it's not a bobcat. It's not any kind of a nighttime bird I've ever heard. I said, the only thing it could be is something that can mimic. And we were sitting there talking about this, and his son-in-law had night vision goggles. as he was looking out or trying to figure out. And a pine cone flew uphill with enough force to hit him in the head while he was looking through his binoculars. No way.

Yes, it hit right on the monocular on the where he was looking at. And we were over there discussing, and we didn't see this. We were over there discussing whether that could be a big foot or not. And he was like, hey, y'all. And we were just like blowing him wake us. It's his first time out. And he was like super excited. So everything up to this point had been a big foot.

So we almost just like, okay, yeah, he's doing his thing. And we were discussing this. It's like, hey, y'all, come here. And he's like, oh, I've just got this pine cone. and the pine cone was about six inches long. It was a big one. He said, it just hit me in the head. I said, where did it come?

He said, down there. I said, a pine cones don't fall uphill. He said, no, this didn't fall. This thing flew. He said, there wasn't an arc. He said, there wasn't, it was like a line drive, and it hit me right in the head. I watched it through the binoculars until it hit my binoculars. And so we got out and we got the looking.

and we got out our spotlights and we got the shining and we could see a silhouette moving in the woods not at the tree line but about 10, 15 feet back in the underbrush. And we started hearing some huffing and I asked my friend, I said, can you see anything down there? Because he was at one angle and I was at another one and we kind of triangulated the spotlights. and as we were doing it, the animal was trying to stay out of the light. But you could see him leaning around the trees. He wasn't like holding the trees. He was just behind it.

You could see him leaning out the trees and you could see where the spotlight would hit its eyes and it would reflect back green. And he would lean back. And I told my friend Jim, I said, won't you walk down there see what it is? And his life, he's like, no, I'm not going to go down there. I said, well, I'll go down there. Well, I'll go to the tree line.

And he said, I don't know if I do that or not. There's still leaves in there. And I said, yeah, but we ain't going to find out what it is if we don't go down there and see. So I cut off my spotlight and give it to his son-in-law. I said, now you shine that down there where it is. Jim was shining his in the same place. So I took out my flashlight. and I clicked it on and I started walking down to the tree line,

which the animal was probably at least 20, 30 feet inside the tree line at this time and underbrush. So I walking down there and I shining a lot down there trying to see. And every now and then I could see like a hand, dart around a tree or whatever or a shoulder and an arm. I couldn't see the whole thing. So when I got down there to the tree line, Jim hollered back at me. And he said, Joe, I think you need to come back up this way. And I said, why?

He said, I think I see another one coming off from the left of where I was. And so I started shining a lot in there. And I got a pine cone hit me in the forehead from the one that we was watching that threw it the first time. And I thought, yeah, I think I'm going to get back up here on the pavilion. I said, I'm just going to walk back up there. Y'all make sure that it don't jump out at me. If you see it, see it coming at me, tell me,

but I'm going to get out of here. And so I walk back up the hill to the pavilion, and we sat there. And his Jim's son-in-law asked us, he said, do they just throw pine cones? I said, no, they throw anything against their hands on. Why? He said, because there's been like four hickering.

nuts throwed at me. He said, I don't even know where a hick or nut tree is around here. And I said, well, there's probably some in the woods down there. And we didn't go in the woods. But we sat there and after a little while, we heard another huff like a really loud huff. And we heard a second huff to the left of the first one. And then we heard two of them walking off. And they were noisy on purpose, I believe. And you hear like, boop, boop, boop, three, four steps, and then you didn't hear them no more. It's like they was telling us, okay, we come up here,

see what y'all were doing, and we see what you are. You ain't one of us or we're leaving. And that's pretty much the last thing that happened down there to us at Coondock Cemetery. Wow. some wild stuff you have some man friend you have some some wild i'm almost saying your name but i'm not going to because you don't have it and you use your name but um you get into some wild stuff down it doesn't matter it doesn't okay all right okay fair enough yeah i yeah i've got uh i've got uh i've got some stuff going on that i'll get with you later but i just ain't figured it out yet

Okay. Yeah, absolutely. I really don't, I really honestly don't think it's a big foot. Like, you know me, I've been in the woods 21 years, and I've not ever seen anything like this. Oh, wow, yeah. We're still dealing with that. But if you're interested, I'll holler at you about that. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Once you figure it out, let me know.

But thanks for coming out, man. Okay, no problem. I'm going to listen in the comments. This has been a good show tonight. It's a good one. We'll talk to you later, dude. Yeah. All right.

There's a gentleman who's talking about Happy Camp, California. And I just sent you a request if you want to come up, because I've been trying to talk to someone about Happy Camp Bigfoot stuff for like a year. If you can't come up, send me an email at Bigfoot Society, gmail.com. I really, really would like to talk to you about Happy Camp, Bigfoot stuff for like a year. camp. Hey. Hey, thanks for coming up. Oh, okay. So when I was in Washington, I mean, I'm trying to figure out which there was a lot. I'm trying to figure out what story to share. Well, a big one was when we were, so we had a motor home and we were up camping and literally in the middle of the night like we smelled something

and it was weird but like something started throwing out of our camper like literally like big rocks just boom boom

boom and I got so scared and I was like dude what's out there and my dog I had a healer He was under the camper just freaking growling like he would not come out. And we went out in the morning about like six and there was two big dens in the motor home.

There was big footprints and there was little footprints. And there was like this tree and swear on everything like literally. like big footprints and little footprints like like a mama and a baby I was like but this is not real so then we kept going up there right and uh I would go up there for like two weeks and I'd bring my kids and um I had 10 kids so we go up there and we just hang out and this one night we're just sitting there and we just start hearing this freaking yelling. Literally, like, screaming. And I said it sounds like a baby deer is like getting killed or something.

And the big foots just kept screaming and screaming and Finally, I just yelled at the woods. I was like, I literally went up with my gun to the woods, like to the clearing. And I was like, shut up. You're scaring my kids. Dead silence. A freaking ranger came up there. And he was like, there's a dead baby deer down there.

And I was like, why? And he was like, well, I don't know why. And I was like, well, I'm pretty sure I heard Bigfoots. And he was like, yep, they're all out here. I was like, okay. I mean, it was just like a casual conversation. Like, oh, yeah, we're just hanging out here. And that was around Rainier.

Yeah. Okay. Very interesting. Very interesting. So you're from that area or you just like to visit that area? Yeah, it was from there. And we used to go up there. I mean, usually you don't hear anything or, like, there's no activity until you're there for like three, four days.

Like, you literally will not hear anything. And then, like, my kids would get freaked out because I'd, like, do tree knocks and stuff. Like, because they would knock back and my kids would be freaked out. Like when I were in a tent and literally heard them jumping out of the trees just dump, dump. Dude, I have so many stories. I'm getting too pumped up. That's wild. Well, hey, I appreciate you coming up and thank you for sharing some of them.

And I hope you are able to continue to hang out. Yeah. Hey, Stephen, how are you? Doing well, Jeremy, how are you? He's good. Definitely wanted to share a couple of like more circumstantial things that as I've listened to to yourself, Sassas Chronicles, other other things that are just kind of like weird in my life. I live in the mountain west. in Utah and you know never heard any kind of vocalizations or anything else like that but

back in 2013 I was up in North Idaho at Preachs Lake hanging out with some friends at a cabin just out doing you know 22 23 year old things drinking beers and whatever, heard a big rock, get thrown in, well, hurt a big splash, get thrown into the lake. Could not see anything that happened. And then this last year, me and some friends actually on some land up in southeastern Idaho. and I went up by myself to go camp and driving up, you know, definitely kind of biased listening to all the different Bigfoot podcasts and everything, got out of the car, and the tree got pushed over. So correlation, causation, whatever you'd like to say, definitely didn't see anything, didn't hear anything except for those things. Definitely, definitely interesting.

The land that we have has a good amount of deer, moose, everything else like that. We're also pretty far away from water, so I don't think it's optimal habitat, but definitely just a couple of interesting things. So just definitely been trying to share that. Yeah, definitely not something I wanted to send an email to you about because it's very circumstantial. That's awesome, though. Is that over by Palisades? or? No. So this is

in Bannock County, Idaho. Not quite towards palatesades. More towards lava hot springs. Got it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Totally. As I look at, yeah, as I've looked at like BFRO

and everything, the only real encounter was like back in the 1920s. But it's, it's definitely squatchy up there a lot of a lot of open land a lot of uh yeah just mountainous region so there's possibilities there's um i talked to a guy a while back or talked to a witness about the fort hall area of idaho yeah that that's further north uh yeah that that's on like the other side of Pocatello. This was on the south, southeastern side.

So yeah, where lava hot springs or soda hot springs is. We're in the mountains kind of south of those. So it's definitely very rugged up there. But like I said, it's far away from a water source. But there is. lot of mountainous region. Yeah, it's kind of just, yeah, it's kind of squatchy up there. Well, I appreciate you sharing that. I mean, there's nothing, something about when a tree gets

pushed over near yet. Dude, that is freaky as I'll get out. It happens all the time in Iowa where I go. It is wild, wild stuff. Right. And, you know, it, it, It coincidentally, like, I'm very much the, you know, make some noise, make sure the bears and the mountain lions and everything know that I'm there. So I get out of my car and I slam the door and I go to get my chair out and suddenly a tree gets pushed over. I'm like, okay, that's that's something. Yeah, right? Absolutely, absolutely. Correlation may not be causation, but still, it is.

It's interesting. it's a thing that makes to take notice for sure well stephen i appreciate you coming up and and sharing those for a few minutes and thank you for listening i do appreciate that yeah absolutely just uh yeah keep on doing what you're doing all right thank you man have a good one see you bye have you ever heard all the accounts of bigfoot activity around oakridge oregon and you think to yourself man i would love to get out in those woods and experience it for myself. Well, guess what? This year, you can. If this is interesting to you, stay tuned because it's pretty cool. Saskatch Summerfest is coming up July 10th through the 11th, 2026.

I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a National Park Ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI, a federal agency, or working intelligence, and you've stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about, and if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search-and-rescue responder,

who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense, if you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field or trucker with government contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report. If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat, and you saw something that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or anything with clearance,

and you've seen what the public hasn't, then I want to talk to you. Even if it's anonymous, you can reach me at bigfoot society at gmail.com. The world needs to hear what you've been forced to carry alone, and you're not alone. You've got the story. We've got the mic.
