Starting point is 00:01:42 And if you're a fan of Bigfoot Society, wish you could get more content weekly. You'll want to join the Patreon to become a supporting member, patreon.com. forward slash the bigfoot society. And now let's get on with the show. All right, Bigfoot Society, we got the privilege of talking to Missy Lee Sterling. I had interviewed her about some research she was doing about a year ago. And it's a privilege to be able to chat with her again on Bigfoot Society. But how's it going tonight, Missy?
Starting point is 00:02:10 I'm the privileged one. It's going well. You. I had to stay with our, you know, it's become a theme now because I said that last time when you laugh. So I had to, I'd plan that all week. Oh, that was good. That was good. This is going to be, this is going to be a wild ride.
Starting point is 00:02:27 I have an interview for sure. I'm going to love it. The first one we did in the Patreon, it's one of the favorites. Really? Oh, yeah, totally. Yeah, a few people are saying that. There's probably a few people that haven't heard the first episode, which, guys, I really recommend that you go back and listen to that first episode because it talks about what Missy experienced.
Starting point is 00:02:51 And we go really, really deep into her research up to a certain point. But Missy, would you be able to provide a little recap, yeah, if you don't mind. So it was around 2018, 2019. Actually, I know now that it was 2018 because my mom passed in October and I have her journals. And she would journal about how she was worried I was going crazy. So, I mean, obviously she came around. But okay, so 2018, I was on my way to my house. I was leaving her house headed home to my house.
Starting point is 00:03:29 And it's a windy road, you know, two lane. You go around a curve and you're kind of going uphill. And then as you round the curve, you're going downhill. And I see something ahead of the road. And at first I thought it was a deer. And I had this crazy fear come over me. Like the hair on the back of my neck stood up. And it didn't make sense to me because I knew there was something ahead in the road.
Starting point is 00:03:52 But I didn't think it was anything unnatural. So as I got closer, it wasn't moving, and then I'm in a complete stop and I'm on this creature. And it is unlike anything I'd ever seen before in my life. I mean, nightmare fuel. This is the stuff nightmares are made up. It was pale, emaciated, huge black eyes, a gaping open mouth. And it was just sitting there on the road. I say sitting.
Starting point is 00:04:18 I didn't see hands or feet, but that's just because I was so fixated on its face. I don't know how long we sat there, but eventually, you know, we did part ways. And I went home and I'm kind of battled with the, am I crazy, what just happened? If this exists, what else exist? I decided to tell a friend. And this is a girl I've known since we were five. And so I thought, if I can tell anyone I can trust, I can tell this girl. So I explained everything that happened.
Starting point is 00:04:51 and I expected to feel better, but I did not because her face, she had a look on her face like, are you insane? And that helped. She said, you know, two things, Missy. One, you're going to need to speak to someone. Definitely need to speak to someone, too. It's going to need to be a professional. I would like for you to make an appointment. You do not need to tell anybody else this happened. Do not repeat this story. This is your favorite part, Gemma. She said, you cannot. become one of those Bigfoot is real people. And I'm sitting there like nodding in agreement with her, but in my mind, I'm like, Bigfoot probably is real. I mean, I did in that moment because I was just like, if this crazy skeleton-looking humanoid thing exists, and I didn't know about that, what else do
Starting point is 00:05:42 I not know about? And Bigfoot probably is real. And oh, no, what else could be out there? I did end up making an appointment with a therapist. He, I say saved me, really, because at first I was very angry when I went into the appointment because I expected, I wanted an answer. I wanted him to tell me something was wrong with me. Here are your pills, ma'am. You can be on your way, right? But that's not what happened. I told him the story.
Starting point is 00:06:11 And, you know, just, I mean, it was like word vomit. I couldn't stop. And he looks down and he looks up at me. And I felt like he didn't believe me. and that was pretty upsetting. And so I just blurted out. I'm like, you don't believe me, do you? And he's like, you know, see, it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:06:25 It doesn't matter whether or not I believe you. What matters now is what you're going to do with the situation you find yourself in. He said, I do not think you were crazy. There's no history of mental illness. You were not hallucinating. I think you were shaken, but you will recover. But let me ask you this. And I'm getting ready to leave, right, at this point.
Starting point is 00:06:44 I'm just furious. And he said, have you considered? that there could be other people who have experienced something similar to what you did. And Jeremiah, that was it. That was all it took. I went straight home and I was like pale, weird looking humanoid in rural area. I don't know exactly what I searched. But that's when the search history starts popping up and I'm seeing all these stories.
Starting point is 00:07:11 And initially I was kind of, I was disappointed because I thought, this is all fiction. But then I find crawler sightings subreddit. And that's kind of like the holy grail of this stuff because people, I asked on there once. I'm like, how many of us found the subreddit because we saw something and we did a Google search. And this is where it brought us. And it was an overwhelming number of people. So I stayed up the whole night reading through stories and that I was seeing that a lot of people were mentioned in this trail cam photo. and saying what I saw looked just like the creature in the trail cam photo, even though that's been debunked. But they were so insistent on letting everyone know they knew that picture was fake. It was like they had to include that part. And I thought, well, that's very odd. You know, I have a strange mind. Like, I look for little things like that and I question them.
Starting point is 00:08:06 So probably fell asleep on my computer that night. Next morning I woke up and I searched, you know, a crawler trail cam photo. and it popped up on the screen and I vomited because that was, I mean, it looked identical to what I'd seen and I couldn't believe it. It was like right in front of my face. And I thought, well, how could this be fake? How could so many people say they saw this and it's fake? And that's when I went real deep into trying to figure out exactly who said it was fake, why they said it was fake, you know, what criteria was used. This is on, this is on YouTube, the video investigation. and you know this, I successfully countered every claim that the picture was an authentic.
Starting point is 00:08:51 I believe it to be an authentic picture. And since then, a lot of other people do too. So that was a success because at first I needed to know for myself, but I think I kept going because I needed other people to believe me because I didn't want to feel so crazy, you know. So that's the recap. After that, I started writing a book. And then after the book, some other things came up. And it's a story that just continues to unfold in ways that just blow my mind because I think there can't possibly be anymore.
Starting point is 00:09:31 We're at the end. And, oh, no, here comes something else. There's a, I found out a Mufon report. And Mufon is the mutual UFO network. I believe I said that right. And they've been around for a long time. They collect citing information and write reports on it. And so I got a hold of that.
Starting point is 00:09:53 A lot's happened since. Got a documentary. Guys, the first episode is definitely worth listening to because in recent times, I haven't seen anyone else go into research on something so intensely. It is fascinating the things that Missy did to look into the history of that photograph, which you can probably picture in your mind right now. And yes, we are talking about the cryptid that is considered as the rake or the pale crawler, right, Missy? Correct, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Picture in your mind, me sitting at my desk. Okay, so everybody thought it came from a video game called Insomac Games. Picture me, this is how insane I am. Call in that company daily trying to find out information on if they were really the ones who put it out. And I was threatened with having the police called on me. This woman says, you're really getting on my nerves, lady. I told you, we don't know anything. And of course they didn't because 10 years had passed by the time I, you know, I came on the scene.
Starting point is 00:10:56 But yeah, that's how crazy I went. And even the news anchor, because there's a news story that was done on this. And it's online too. And I even contacted her. I sent her flower so that she would call me. and we had a nice conversation and we keep in touch to this day. So, yeah, I went deep. I'm so extra.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Someone told me once, Missy, your perspective is a million miles deep and an inch wide. And it pissed me off because it's true. That's awesome. We have talked off and on about this situation since then. And one of the things I really thought was fascinating is that when you started to dig into the same area, you started to find other people that had seen the creature as well, correct? Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:48 So in my own area, yes, the guy that cut my grass, you know, I think I told you this in the last interview. I had to hire another yard guy and he, you know, comes over, well, what do you do? I work from home. Well, what do you do from home? I write about what? And then, you know, I'm like, I don't want to answer this. So I go into it. I start telling him and he interrupts me.
Starting point is 00:12:13 And he's like, wait a minute. Was it super skinny and like really pale? And I was like, is this guy kidding? Has he been tapping my phones? But no, he had not been. He and his girlfriend saw the same creature. And I even, Jeremiah, I went as far as to take out ads in the local paper. Okay, so I'm the village idiot.
Starting point is 00:12:34 And I'm cool with that. I'll wear a T-shirt that says it. I actually have a T-shirt that says that someone made me. People will make fun of you because that's, just what they do. It's like hive mind. You know, oh, something a little bit strange. We don't understand it. So we're going to make fun of it because that makes us look real cool. We shot a documentary, well, the first part of it in January and interviewed a couple of these people. And I mean, there are clusters of sightings. And it's very interesting because
Starting point is 00:13:02 when you plot these points, when you have the geographic location, and I found this, I say about accident, I don't believe there are accidents anymore. It's, I mean, if there are, it's very hard for me to believe. But some guy did this map, and it's called the Map of the Dead, and it plots the points of all of the cemeteries across the United States. And of course, the South has a lot more because of our history with the Civil War. So you overlay this crawler sightings map over the top of it. And because we have less people per square mile and more places to hide, you would expect that the sightings would be less because the population. is not as dense.
Starting point is 00:13:43 But that's not what you see. What you see is a lot more sightings in these areas around these cemeteries where, you know, the population is way less, it's way less dense. There's way more surface area. And you don't see so many up north where there's not as many graves. And I say that just because my, the conclusion I have reached is that this thing is what was once referred to as a ghoul or gala. and that is ancient.
Starting point is 00:14:12 It predates Islam. It goes back to ancient Mesopotamia, actually. Got the chills from that realization when you talked about overlapping the maps. That is wild. Talking about the clusters, that actually leads me into one of the questions I have from one of my Patreon members, Christopher. And Christopher wants to know, are there any updates about the animal sanctuary that was next to her citing has there been anything else that's come up with that there has there has yes there has we go out and talk to them but i've got to i've got to hold back on that um because that's in the documentary
Starting point is 00:14:55 um and i can talk about the documentary and a lot of things about it but you guys are going to lose it yeah i love it that's enough for me just to know that yes there is an update and you got to you got to Wait, let's talk about what's happened with the documentary so far. A very, very good friend of mine. We worked together on some things. He's pretty well known. He does YouTube. Awesome guy.
Starting point is 00:15:22 We had gotten to be good friends. And I was like, you know, I know people are supposed to say, let's start a band, but let's do a documentary because we're both nerds, right? And he was like, yeah, let's do it. So we, you know, we made the plans. And I came up with the funding on my own. And I was like, we're going to do this. And when you have never done film before, which neither of us have, it is, oh, I bet you Mr. Breedlove could tell you, everything will fall apart and come back together a million times in a day. And it is hard work and it is emotional.
Starting point is 00:15:54 And at the end of the day, it just was not for him. Not because he's not capable, but, you know, it just, it was my project. and it was kind of hard to bring someone in who, you know what I'm saying. Like, it just felt very much like even though it was hard and even though we hated it, we kind of needed to probably part ways and let me do this and then let him do his thing. And so now we're at a point where we're going to have to do a part two of filming and we'll have to crowd fund that because they say, what do they say, don't invest money you can't afford to lose.
Starting point is 00:16:30 And so I've invested what I could afford to lose and now I'll have to crowd fund the rest. But I have no doubt it'll be made. I have all the faith because I just think not just because it's my story. It's just such a good story. If you want something done right, you do it yourself. That's why you change your own oil.

It was like life was one way. I saw this thing.
Starting point is 00:18:22 I, you know, go on this journey trying to figure out what I've seen. And these are the things I found. These are the people that I found that have also seen it. And what in the high strangeness is going on here, you know? So I think it's a really compelling story. You know, I want to say this. Before I filmed a documentary, I thought, oh, this stuff is fake. You know, this is, and I knew they were documenting things that were happening,
Starting point is 00:18:47 but when people would talk, I thought, ah, this is acting. And I'm going to tell you, I gave a final interview, and that's what you heard. And it was a little awkward to get started, but then once I did, it was like there was no camera there. And I don't know what came over me, but it was just like all in that moment. I was realizing how affected I had been by this. I'm getting tears. Here we go. Because it's like, what do you do with that?
Starting point is 00:19:16 You know, you have this thing happen and it's not normal. And you get these sideways glances at the grocery store because everyone knows you're that girl. You're that girl talking about that crazy stuff. And it was like there was no camera there. There was no acting. It was just raw. It was just me telling a group of strangers, basically, because some of these crew members I'd only known for a few days, just exactly what I went through. And that was enlightening to me.
Starting point is 00:19:44 It gave me a lot of respect for documentaries and exactly what they are because a good director, a good director of photography. Seth knows this. I bet you anything. They know exactly what to say to pull from someone what they need to pull. And you might not even know you have that in you, that that needs to come out of you. And they do, though, they know. And they know how to pull it. And I have an excellent team.
Starting point is 00:20:09 So I'm excited. The title is pale, by the way, the title of the documentary, we called it. We titled it pale because these creatures are pale. And, you know, it's just a pretty simple word. And I think it's cool. That is exciting. There's definitely going to be links in the show notes for people to look into. helping with that. Do you have all the people lined up that you would talk to for part two when
Starting point is 00:20:35 you resume filming again? Or? Okay. So I've got this casting. I say casting director and that sounds like just film, but it's also called a casting director for a documentary. We want to follow more than just my story because you have me and I am extra and I just dove deep in and couldn't stop. but it's funny that people will have very different reactions to the same phenomena. So we are looking for a couple of more people that are willing to let us follow them, either go to them, bring them to us, and learn as much about them and who they were before and what happened and who they are now as we learn about me.
Starting point is 00:21:17 But on top of that, too, we want as many stories as we can get. Anyone who is willing to get on a Zoom call and tell us about what they went through, I mean, you know, we want as much as we can get. Anybody who has a story for this, we're talking about pill crawlers rakes. But, yeah, that would be fabulous. Anybody out there that's listening and either has a story of their own or knows someone with a story, definitely have them get in touch with me. These can be accounts from anywhere in the U.S. sounds like.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Yeah, sure. I mean, okay, so we're only going to be able to fly to people who are at the U.S. or fly them to us, but I don't care what country you're, these things are seeing all over. Australia, Ukraine, Poland. Any story you have, we want your Zoom interview too. And I understand that a lot of people have, okay, so I was very lucky. I did not have an employer I had to answer to when I decided to start talking about this. We understand that some people do and they, you know, they don't want to talk about it because
Starting point is 00:22:20 they don't want to lose a job. We're more than willing to, if you want to share your story, and I'm going to tell you It is very healing. It is very healing, especially to find a community of people who know exactly what you're going through. We can, there are methods that we can use to, you know, alter voices, blur faces. But, I mean, I want as many as we can get. I'll tell you what. I've made some TikTok videos, and I don't think we've really talked about this yet because I was kind of holding on for the interview.
Starting point is 00:22:51 The Pale Crawler Raid community on TikTok is pretty wild. What do you mean? There's a lot. So if you go over to the Bigfoot Society, TikTok, a lot of people would send me accounts and like I would share them. And what started to happen is it started to become very evident that people were seeing something with the same description around the Lake Texoma area of Texas and Oklahoma. That's interesting. You say that because that was, okay, when we start. when we start, this is crazy.
Starting point is 00:23:28 When we start filming again, that's where we wanted to go. That's one of our destinations. Oh, miss. Oh, missy. You have to do everything in your power to go to that area. Listen, not because of what you just said, just because my director of photography is from there. Oh, my goodness. This is like Synchronicity Town USA.
Starting point is 00:23:45 It doesn't stop. It keeps on. It's wow. Let me just tell you a few of the things. And I'm going to have to look through my messages and maybe try to see if I can get some people hooked up with you. But I've had a guy working for the railroad that he was on the train. And he saw one of these things when he was on the train, I think it was on the tracks behind the train.
Starting point is 00:24:13 I had a gentleman that was sending me photos. And this is all in this Lake Texoma area. But it's not just like, and if you talk to people around there, they're probably going to call it the Lake Texoma. because I kind of might I may have called it that but it may be a thing but anyways um there's also like a lot of like ghost sightings paranormal sightings bigfoot sightings that whole area is like very very steeped in weirdness so to hear that you're already planning to go that to that area super exciting to hear you're going to strike gold yeah um it's funny you mentioned the paranormal stuff um because when I was younger, prior to the sighting, my relationship to the paranormal was just
Starting point is 00:25:01 as a kid, I saw a lot of ghosts. And I was asked, like, well, what do you think? It's you or the house or the, and I'm like, it's the world. It's, this stuff is everywhere. It's not just one person, one house, one area. I do tend to believe that it's the land more than anything when you're dealing with, like, you know, paranormal activity. But it's everywhere.
Starting point is 00:25:25 It's not just one person. I mean, we all love to think we're special. I mean, I love to think that I'm special. But it's the land. It's everywhere. It's very pervasive. And I do believe that there are certain spots, for some reason, be it laylines or, you know, magnetic field anomalies, for some reason, it's a lot more prevalent in certain areas. So that is very interesting.
Starting point is 00:25:52 I cannot wait to tell Sarah. Sarah's my projector, my projector. My, what is she called? Director of photography. Come on, Missy. Get it together. That's what she is. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Oh, man. We'll talk about this later too, but it's like, go over to the TikTok that blew up, and you'll have to spend like two weeks looking through all the comments. There's so many. I hope some of these people would be willing to connect with me, because the thing, you know, my, um, cat, the casting director, she wants to make a Reddit and go on and ask. Reddit, they're so mean.
Starting point is 00:26:32 They're just so, some of them are nice and the ones that are nice are super nice, but they just constantly are calling you a liar. Um, you, you put me in touch with a, um, psychologist. And she says you, I mean, you know the story. I've got patients coming in talking to me about these things. And since then, she and I've got. you put me in touch with her. We've gotten close.
Starting point is 00:26:55 And she had some amazing things to say. And so I asked, you know, permission just to post a screenshot of a text, not give any identifying information because that's, I'm not, that could very, very much harm her career. But I share this and people are like, this was totally made up. A psychologist wouldn't say this. That's a HIPAA violation.
Starting point is 00:27:16 And I'm like, you guys, this is what they mean by Reddit Hivemind. First of all, a HIPAA violation would be disclosed. personal patient data, like their names. Second of all, her conversational style is not required to be a certain way. They also said, oh, yeah, I'm a therapist too, and I would never talk that way. Well, that's because that's you. It doesn't mean she's lying. So to hear that I could go to TikTok and potentially find people who are not just jerks, you know, that is very, very exciting to me because I was a little concerned about how we were going to go about that. So thank you. And I absolutely, I probably won't sleep tonight. I'm going to be.
Starting point is 00:27:53 be on TikTok and I mean you're not going to sleep for the next month I'm like you you don't know what's coming it's intense so it'll be fun to see what comes comes to that you had sent another interesting thing my way you've been looking into something about giants in your state so we can go into that right now if you want to or we can talk about the Mufon report oh my goodness yes the Mufon report totally yeah we also need to talk about the AI analysis of the trial camp. Yes, let's do it. Okay. All right. So, Mufon report. So it reads, I want to tell you the background on this. My friend, it was originally posted, and they're talking about this trial camp day. This was originally posted on a hunting forum. I was dealing with a similar type of creature on a
Starting point is 00:28:42 video camera that was the subject of a serious Mufon investigation in Mississippi. And that's where I live. This game camera was from Berwick, Louisiana area, which is right outside of New Orleans. The camera owner didn't want to be publicly identified, but was seriously freaked out and gave the footage to one of his buddies to see if he could find out anything, something, anything about what this was. Then it appeared on the local news. Neither of the two know how this image ended up on the local news because neither one of them were. responsible for sending it. But then here we were. Because it was somewhat somewhere to the creature we had on the videotape and not that far
Starting point is 00:29:28 away, the Mufon investigators investigated the trail camphoto as well. And I think that it had been a few months earlier. The Mufon investigator was from Slydale. And I believe Jeremiah Slydale is in Mississippi. It could be Louisiana. But she contacted the news reporter. at about that time, and the news reporter was declaring that it was a fake. And what do we know, Jeremiah, when I spoke to her, she told me the same thing.
Starting point is 00:29:58 She believed it was fake. She told him that someone called in and told them that it was a fake. The someone claimed to know the people involved. But the Mufon investigator was able to get the name of the person who submitted the game camera photo to the news station. And not only did he deny being taken. He claimed he had never heard of or met or knew anything about the individual that said the photo was a fake and knew him. Okay, so what they're saying there is, and it's a little disjointed. The person who's owned the photo is claiming they had no idea who sent it in and knew nothing about that person.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Whoever that individual was who sent that picture in was, was, you know, anonymous to these people who actually were involved with the picture. Okay. So then it goes on to say he also confirmed with the person that gave him the game camera photo that he had no clue who that was and neither did anybody else in the area. So this guy shows up asking for this photo and no one knows who he is. And he's the one that turned it into the news. And again, no one in the area is a small town. No one in the area had ever seen him before or anything like that. And here's where it ends. guy who actually took the picture said it was complete BS, but it spooked the camera owner even more, and he wanted to just drop everything now and told him not to talk and told his friend, don't talk to anyone about this anymore. The move on investigator then went back to the news station to determine how they decided that the debunker was credible and discovered that they hadn't done anything to decide that the photo or debunker. was credible, which was exactly what the news reporter told me.
Starting point is 00:31:50 She said, you know, we didn't really do any investigation on our part. And this is what she told me when I interviewed her. She said I was even scolded by our news director, like, don't run things unless you've, you know, checked them out. So in conclusion, they just decided that the picture was believable because the creature was running around in the swamp or possibly made the debunker up because, Mufon couldn't ever locate the guy who sent the picture to the news. I know all of this for an absolute fact, and I'm glad to go to court and put my hand on a Bible.
Starting point is 00:32:27 I will take a lie detector test. This is exactly what happened. The only reason that I know any of this is because I was helping Mufon as an investigator, and it occurred about 90 miles away from Louisiana, concerning some creatures that resembled that didn't look anything like Grays. similar to grays, but without the almond eyes. So that's how easy it is to debunk anything in this country. Just make it up, make up that it was faked, change a little detail.
Starting point is 00:32:57 And the internet does the rest of the work. And that's exactly what happened. Oh, my goodness. That is wild. Is it not? I mean, it just to read that, you know, the validation, because what he's saying, I know is true. I've got the, and I'm going to release this too. My conversation with the needs anger who aired it,
Starting point is 00:33:20 she said those things that this guy is saying she said, I mean, to a T, she told me the same thing. If you want something done right, you do it yourself.

This recording, I have my conversation with her. It's over a year old.
Starting point is 00:35:06 You know, and I found this Mufon, or the guy alluding to the Mufon report, the actual report I'm still waiting on because it costs. $600. So, like, I mean, I filled out of the paperwork and tried to get it sent to me, but it's going to take a little bit longer. But, I mean, I'm not surprised, you know, I'm not surprised that this is, this is what came of it. I mean, this is what I knew. I just knew.
Starting point is 00:35:32 So that's definitely very, very interesting. There are so many twists and turns for this story. Because, because you're presented with this and you just think, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, and I'm not, I'm not, you know, me too. This is, this is so absurd. Like, how could it possibly be true, right? Um, and then you look into it and you find out more and more and, or not everybody, but somebody crazy like me and you, like we just keep digging.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Right. It, it's still interesting that people even presented with information like this, hard proof. They still can't accept it. And it used to really bother me because I wanted everybody to understand this is happening. But I'm fine now with people. I mean, why would I, why would I be upset that they didn't believe it? You know, they're entitled to believe what they want to believe. And that's fine. They're not for me. But I know there is a group of people out there who are all about this stuff. And so they are for me. Those are the people I'm talking to. That's who I, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:32 I get up in the morning and I do these things for them. Like Christopher, who had the question about the animal sanctuary. Yeah, I'll remember his name. And I'll, you know, I don't mind giving Christopher a sneak peek. I'm pretty generous. So if you have, if you have the ability to get in touch with him, I can give him a little bit
Starting point is 00:36:51 about what we found out. Absolutely. Yeah. We can make that happen for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Is the documentary going to go into, if you think these are
Starting point is 00:37:02 creatures that are interdimensional? Well, I'm trying to. Is it a level in or, like, are they attacking people or is it kind of a thing where they're just, we're not really sure if they're good or bad creatures, I guess maybe you could say it. Okay. Yeah. I'm going to give away a little bit from the documentary.
Starting point is 00:37:33 This may make me, yeah, I'm sure. This is small and it and it may make me tear up. And this is just my experience. but I don't, I've never read a report of them attacking a human. They flee. And because of what I went through for the entirety of the process of, you know, seeing it being one way, my life changing, I've said I was probably not the nicest person. And this happened and my capacity for compassion just expanded.
Starting point is 00:38:08 I suddenly was completely aware of how my actions affected others. And I asked my partner at the time who was working on it with me, I said, you know, this thing is evil and it certainly felt like it was evil. If it absorbs some of your evil, is it really that bad? And he said, you know, that's not so far-fetched. Theologically, that makes sense. Could it absorb malignancy? and it's possible. It's possible that it does.
Starting point is 00:38:41 But that's my experience. That's why we want other people to tell what they went through and how it affected them. But even if it absorbs malignancy, I mean, I can thank it for that. But that could also be any time you go through something traumatic and harsh, you're changed, you know, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. But for me, I was asked, you know, is this? A good thing, could you say this, is almost a good thing that this happened.
Starting point is 00:39:11 And, oh, man, I didn't like to say that. I didn't, no, I saw a monster. I have based a career on being one of those crazy monster hunters. But, of course it's a good thing. I mean, I just, the way I feel for my fellow human beings, here come to tears, after going through something like that, just you look at someone and you think, oh, they're awful. or I used to.
Starting point is 00:39:37 And now I just think, I wonder what they've got going on. Because, you know, you never know. You never know. Man, it's going to be such an interesting documentary to watch for sure, even knowing that information. Yeah. There's a lot more, though. I mean, I've shared some because I think it's important to you, but I have a publicist. She told me what I could talk about.
Starting point is 00:40:02 That's good. That would be cool to have one of those. Yeah, if I didn't have her, I would have just sat here and told you the whole thing. Oh, yeah, exactly. And, you know, what would anybody have watched? We had an AI, like, really up and coming during this period. So I wondered, well, first of all, I went on Upwork, and I was trying to hire a proper forensic analyst because I'm an armchair, right? Like, I feel I did a very good job analyzing this thing, but surely a professional knows more than I do.
Starting point is 00:40:36 do. So I'm looking for people and I'm looking for them. And then some guy tells me I can do it. And I ask him, well, what methods will you use? Well, I will look into the layers. And I'm like, dude, I know more than you do. JPEGs don't have layers. What do you say? Okay, what is happening? And so one of the recruiters, because I paid extra to have a recruiter place me and he says, Missy, there's not going to be anybody who can tell you about this picture like AI can. Run it through analysis, see what they have to say. And I said, well, all right then. And that's exactly what I did. And it is very, very interesting. I'm not going to go through the entirety of it because we went through so much. We went through so much. But I asked it, and I'm going to put a video out
Starting point is 00:41:22 on this, the entirety of the AI analysis. But I said, I uploaded the picture and I said, could you please, and I always say please and thank you to chat. You know, you never know. I would suggest everybody do that. If they take us over, I want to be one of the ones that was nice. Oh, yeah, no doubt. Yeah. Sorry, I'll talk. But I said, hey, chat, because I used chat, GPT analysis, the paid version.
Starting point is 00:41:49 I said, could you please describe this image for me? And it says, you know, this image is a black and white photo, likely taken by a night vision trail camera, given the timestamp and the grand equality. It features a startled animal, possibly a primate. Isn't that interesting that I called it a primate? It has large reflective eyes caught in the middle of the frame looking directly at the camera. The animal is crouched and seems to be in motion with a blurred appearance due to the movement and the low light conditions. The background is dark and wooded, typical of a night scene.
Starting point is 00:42:27 So, okay, that's what I'm observing too. But I mean, we went through looking at histogram profiles, we went through looking at, I told AI that I wanted to know if the image had been intentionally manipulated. So I wanted it to look at the edges around the creature. And it said to determine if it has, if the image has been manipulated, one would typically look for signs of inconsistencies in lighting, shadows, edges, noise patterns, and compression artifacts. So then AI asked me Do you want me to perform that analysis? And so I said yes
Starting point is 00:43:06 And they did And it says that They processed the image with a high pass filter And they ran edge detection And based on the filters There were no clear signs of manipulation Because they would show up as irregular edges Or inconsistent noise patterns
Starting point is 00:43:25 around the primate and none of these could be seen. So move into the very last question I asked because there are a bunch more and I'll include this and probably in the nerd section of the book. I'm going to do an extra chapter that's just nerd section. I love that. Yeah, well, you know, the book initially I had somebody go through it and they were like, Missy, this is a mess. And of course my ego was all wounded.
Starting point is 00:43:51 But I kind of crammed all the technical information into one single child. after like assuming everyone thinks like I do, which is crazy. So it was good that I had someone who was okay to upset me a little bit and say, you know, this could be better. So, but, okay, so by the time we get to the end of the analysis, there was one last question I asked. And it was, it was to me the most profound. It went into discussing the halo effect. People were arguing about, I was right about that. It was because of the washout albeit it.
Starting point is 00:44:27 It was the problem with the camera adjusting to light and dark. So here's the kicker. All right. I said, so if an image is, if an image was edited 13 years ago, the manipulation, could the manipulation detection techniques we have available to us today pick up on an edit or a manipulation that was, done 13 years ago. And it said, so if an image
Starting point is 00:45:01 was edited 13 years ago, the manipulation could potentially go undetected by the tools of that time. It might be more easily spotted with today's advanced analysis techniques. However, the effectiveness of current tools
Starting point is 00:45:17 can still depend on the quality and resolution of the image as well as the skill with which the manipulation was made. High quality edits done by skilled individual could still be challenging to detect with even modern tools. But if an image created and manipulated 13 years ago were to be analyzed by the tools available today, unless it was just a very small edit, the likelihood of it going undetected is virtually impossible. Dang.
Starting point is 00:45:56 I mean, does it not make sense, though? Yeah, for sure. Yeah, and that, when I read that, I'm not going to lie, I cried because I knew that, but just to read it like that, just to have it told to me in that way that, you know, it was validating and validation is medicine, especially when you're dealing with high strangeness. I can't get over how it said primate a few times. Well, listen. That's just a really weird to see.
Starting point is 00:46:22 here's what's real weird it crashed on me a couple of times and I had to start over initially it said deer and that was strange to me because and this will probably be a part two documentary I've got some images I'm going to send you
Starting point is 00:46:40 Jeremiah where there is this halo or it's like a mist and these deer are coming in and out of this mist and kind of transforming it almost like No, no, no, no, no. Yes, I know.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Like, not dear stuff? Could it be? It's possible. Or a portal. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's what I'm thinking. It's a portal. And one of the images that I have was sent to me by a guy who lives on the road who would have been in a house like three doors down from where I was when I saw this thing.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Oh, man. Yeah. So there's just so much you could fit into one documentary where you're going to have to go over. Okay, well, let's save this part for a part two because it's a little bit, you don't want to overwhelm people. The primate thing, have you ever considered, I don't know even know how you would do this, but like taking some computer program and taking that image and like adding hair to it just to see what it would look like? I have. I have done that. It still does not look like any non-primate.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Okay. you know, and if there is anybody who is a Photoshop expert, I dabble, I'm self-talk, I'm decent, but I'm not, you know, a professional. I'm more than willing to give them what they need. I mean, I would love to see that done by someone else because different artists can have different interpretations, right? Right. So, but I had said, I wondered initially, is this a primate with mange? Is this an albino? Because the arms are so long.
Starting point is 00:48:18 just like primate arms, right? Or is it a big foot with Mange? Is it? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. There was a very interesting story I got not too long ago. And this guy saw a group of them in a field behind his friend's house.
Starting point is 00:48:40 And he said there were so many, so many. I've actually got the story. A group of them. Wow. he said like 50 and so so first i read this and i'm like okay this guy's full of it you know but then the more he gets into it um and then from what i know from speaking to rick grabbing it oh wait a minute did i tell you i spoke to rick gravinick no okay we talked because and let me know later if this is something i need to cut out but that's a gentleman that had the video on the portrait correct yeah
Starting point is 00:49:14 we don't have to pet this we don't we don't go into this um okay so there was an issue that came up. Rick had a friend. I say friend with a quote fingers. So the first video Rick put out was the one everybody is just so freaked out by. But then his friend says, you know, Rick, you need to put on a costume and we need to paint you white and record you so that we can let these people know how impossible it would be that that was you out there. If you want something done right, you do it yourself. That's why you change your own oil.

Starting point is 00:51:04 These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Now, Rick thinks that's a great idea because he's a down-to-earth guy. He sings. He's nice. I mean, wonderful dude. Well, the friend's thinking, I can make people think Rick faked this. Do you understand where I'm going with this? And so because of the way it was done, it kind of unfortunately discredited Rick in a way that was just super unfortunate.
Starting point is 00:51:37 I will believe him until the day I die because I watched that thing move. And I've seen one myself and other people who have seen them, there's no doubt in our mind. But the phase in and out type thing, I'm getting ahead of myself. The guy, the story, okay, I'm about seeing 50 of them. Okay. Let's see, where is it? Was that a guy who just randomly reached out to you or is that like a Reddit thing? Both.
Starting point is 00:52:10 Oh, okay. Yeah, that's what I run into a lot. people will reach out on Reddit and people will just rip into them and it's painful. I really wish Reddit could kind of get out of that a little bit because I mean, you're already on a subreddit about high strangeness.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Why are you going to tell us my they didn't see what they saw or they're not telling the truth? You know? This guy, he doesn't want his name mentioned. So he said to call him, I'm not going to repeat that. We'll call him guy. Missy, I have seen hundreds of these things at night in the woods
Starting point is 00:52:51 in the rural areas around Memphis, Tennessee. Started around 2020. They are tall humanoid creatures with blacked out eyes, and they move slowly and in strange jerky movements. The first time I saw them, I was visiting a veteran friend of mine. He was down on his luck. It was about midnight on Thanksgiving.
Starting point is 00:53:11 in 2020. He had been living in a run-down camper vehicle at the edge of the woods on his brother's property. Between his camper and the tree line, there was the remains of an old trailer that had been destroyed by a tornado. There was a street light on top
Starting point is 00:53:30 and a pole that was used to run electricity to the destroyed mobile home. On the other side of the pole was approximately 15 yards meters of a field that was an old dirt road that split in half with tall grass and brush at the edge of the far side of the field after which the tree line started. I thought that there were people hiding there at first
Starting point is 00:53:56 because they seemed to be grouping more in the darker areas where the light from the pole was not near as bright. So I asked my friend about him and he shrugged it off and said, oh, well, you know, they've always been there. and they don't bother me, so he shrugs it off and I'm thinking, what? So he also told me that no matter what you did, you could not get close to one. Well, me being a combat veteran with two deployments under my belt and my personal firearm for my vehicle, I attempted to approach these things.
Starting point is 00:54:30 As I got closer, I noticed that they were solid white creatures with solid black eye sockets that moved in a jerky but very slow manner. There had to be 50 or more in that field down the dirt road, and at the edge of the tree line and beyond. I continued to walk towards them, and all of a sudden they all looked at me all at once with black, empty-looking sockets, and instantly caused me to feel fear,
Starting point is 00:54:59 more fear than I have ever felt in my entire life. I did not approach that night. I turned away and got out of the air, area. My buddy, I took him with me and he stayed at my place for a few days. Since that first time I've seen them, I've seen them about a dozen more times, always at night and around a wooded area at all different locations. I've since tried to run and catch them and I have failed because the creatures simply disappear the moment I closed in within five to ten yards and I lost direct eye contact for just a mere flash.
Starting point is 00:55:37 It's like they could phase in and out or something. If you get close, you can see that the weird jerky movement, it's part of them. Arms, legs had disappearing and then reappearing in a different position. I think they disappear anytime they move so they can't be seen if they walk. I've pumped 45, 5.56 millimeter incendiary rounds from my AR-15. into one of them without a single shred of evidence left behind. These things do make audible noises. Animals see them, however, I've tried to show them to people,
Starting point is 00:56:15 and only about half of the people I've shown them to actually see them. And I've wondered if I was losing my mind and if anyone else has seen them and or tried other experiments with them. I've searched all over the internet and only found a few cryptic creatures that share one or two similar things to them, but nothing that was close enough for me to be satisfied. That is until I came across you in your video and your determination to figure out what is going on. The only thing that was really close was the origin of white zombies. I'm not sure Missy if you've heard of these, but it wasn't really that either.
Starting point is 00:56:56 There's been a few people tell me this is a shapes shifting creature, but I don't know. They seem to be of different sizes. Some are large, some are small. And they group up in what I came to call family clusters, four to five of them usually, with two taller ones and one or two smaller. Missy, you've done an awesome job. Keep up the great work. Please don't ever quit and please stand touch.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Yeah. Wow. Yeah, the phase in and out, that goes back to what our private contractor says, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. That goes awesome. Yes. Yes. But yeah, it made sense to me when he talked about the phasing in and out. And if you will go and look, I'll put this video, Rick has given me full rights to use that video.
Starting point is 00:57:49 And I have the original. Oh, man. And I'm going to tell you this. The one on YouTube, it's not near as clear as the original. And that goes back to that video of that moose on the side of the road. I swear the first time, I swore the first time I saw the video of the moose on the side of the road. And if people don't know what I'm talking about, by the time the episode is, I will have everything up on a website. You can, you can reference.
Starting point is 00:58:12 I love it. When I first saw that, Jeremiah, I thought, wow. But then I saw it again. And I was like, I was positive. This thing was much clear when I saw it the first time. Same with the Rick Grabinick video. It is far more clear. And it is jerky.
Starting point is 00:58:28 The movements are crazy. And that was my experience of seeing one. A lot of people describe this. And it could be that they are phasing in and out of existence, you know? It's, who knows? Wild. It's wild, though. I love stories like this.
Starting point is 00:58:44 I absolutely love it. And it's like you just start pulling a little bit out of thread and it just all starts going nuts. Yeah. It's great. Yes, you said that to me. I think the first night that we ever. ever had a conversation. I get up to get a take a shower, get ready for bed.
Starting point is 00:59:02 I've got a thread stuck to the back of my foot. And I cannot find the end of it. And I was like, this is seriously happening right now. That's funny. This is happening. Yeah, this means we're supposed to be friends forever. Maybe. That's what I told my thought.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Would you like to hear what I found out about the giant? Sure. Okay. I don't know if this is going to be enough for a documentary. Well, actually, I think it might be. Okay, so you hear about giant corpses being recovered, right? And there's books written on them. The Smithsonian apparently has this huge cover up going on.
Starting point is 00:59:39 And in my research initially for these crawlers, I got a quote from the Army Corps of Engineers. And a lot of people would be surprised to know that the Army Corps of Engineers collects a lot of dinosaur fossils. Really? Oh, absolutely, yeah. Well, because, you know, they're building dams. They're hollowing out areas.
Starting point is 00:59:59 And they take ownership of these. Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah. So this woman made this really interesting comment on their website. And she said, we have a collection that is so vast. It expands the entire paleontological record. And I thought, lady, that is a bold statement. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 01:00:21 I mean, a bold statement. So a lot of farmers back from the 1800s, they talked about finding these corpses and the Army Corps of Engineers would come, or some government agency would come scoop them up. So they say they're at the Smithsonian Institute. Okay. But have you ever heard about a live giant being found? A live one today? As in, well, it was 1877. Oh, right.
Starting point is 01:00:50 Yeah. So, yeah, today, I would say. I would say today. Yeah. Okay. There's a news article. And I'm out like, you know, I think I'm probably going to just, I may do a video on this and have it out by the time that your episode comes out. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:07 So 1877, you have this news article come out. It talks about a footprint that was found. And it talks about, you know, the town's folks getting scared. And let me pull up my notes on this real quick because I've got some really good ones. Um, and so the men of the town decided to go see the footprint. And they took with them some very well-established gentlemen, um, a doctor or reverend, because they felt like, you know, they're going to tell the truth. They're credible, right?
Starting point is 01:01:39 So, um, they go and they look and they see that, in fact, it is a massive footprint. And the town kind of goes into hysteria. Like, what is, what's going on? What is this thing? So the man of the county, which would have been Jackson County, Alabama, which is near Huntsville. And I do plan to go there and get some footage of where all the time. Oh, awesome. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:02 Well, I have to. You know, I'm in Columbus, Mississippi, sometimes Millport, Alabama. So they get together, they're posse. And they're like, we're, you know, we're going to go look for this thing. I'm not going to read the entire articles, but I will put them on my website for people to download. but the headline is Jackson County Giant, the most wonderful creature ever seen in Alabama
Starting point is 01:02:26 supposed to be a species of the broaded nags, and I think that's from Gulliver's Travels. I don't think they had another word, but that's just what they used. Caught, but makes his escape. And this is 1877.
Starting point is 01:02:43 And it goes into the the whole saga, finding the footprint, deciding they're going to get 300 men together and go look for it. So this colonel goes and he climbs July Mountain and he has his spectacles and he's looking and he motions down below to the man. Okay, I've got him.
Starting point is 01:03:03 I see him. Let's go. So off they go and they approach the giant and he wakes from his slumber. They say that bones are all over the ground from his morning feast and the dogs are hesitant to kind of attack him. But they, you know, some of them get brave. And he starts picking them up and chucking them at the men on the horses. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:03:25 Yeah. Well, nobody was hurt necessarily. But then he takes off running. And he gets caught between a gulch. And it's my understanding that a gulch is just two mountains that are beside one another that kind of begin to narrow. So once he's caught in that, they tie him up and they measure him. And one of the colonels, he's like, what a glory. job we've done gentlemen. Look at this
Starting point is 01:03:50 beast. What a glorious job. And I'm like, these, I mean, people back then, they were of a different breed. Right. Yeah. So they measure him. And I actually had a paleo artist recreate an image of this thing. And it is, I mean,
Starting point is 01:04:06 you would think it would be bulky, but it wasn't. It was very bony. So they measure him. And unfortunately, he makes his escape. He does. He pulls all the ropes from his body. And he takes off towards what they call sand mountain. Now, I went back and every single person mentioned in that article,
Starting point is 01:04:26 I made sure that it was actually a person who lived and died. You know, because that matters to me. Right. Because that's the credibility aspect of it. And then something very interesting happens in 1936. You get another article about this thing because interest is building again. You know, people are asking about it. And the author or the writer of the article,
Starting point is 01:04:47 Well, he quotes the original 1877 article, but he kind of leaves something pretty important out and says that he never, that the group never did catch the giant or see the giant. And I'm like, that's really strange. That's a big detail to leave out. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And they've got this other guy. His name is Europe. What was it?
Starting point is 01:05:15 Europe, yeah, Europe Caldwell. Now, his brother was one of the ones that went out and measured the giant, and his brother was King Caldwell. So Europe Caldwell in 1936 is on his deathbed. And he said, oh, yeah, we just, we all said that just to prevent people from stealing chickens. And then he says something very interesting, Jeremiah. He says, you know, none of the more educated folks actually believed there was a giant. That's a tactic because if you can take a marginalized group of society and have this story or this belief and just attribute it to them, then it makes others not want to be attributed to that. They will automatically not believe it.

Starting point is 01:07:35 No, Europe Caldwell. Something else interesting about him, he had a sister called Almeida. And King Caldwell is the gentleman who went to his. help find the giant. And this is Europe's older brother. Now for some reason, Alameda wanted her brother to have nothing to do, her brother, Europe, nothing to do with her estate. And that's family drama. And I can only speculate, but for whatever reason, she didn't think very highly of Europe. And so here we have Europe telling people that it was all just a fake thing that happened. Somebody put on stilts and put those prints in the ground and there was no giant. But for some
Starting point is 01:08:15 reason Amadea did not like Europe and left her entire fortune to her brother, King. Well, she did not count on King passing away before Europe. And that's what happened. And so just by intercession laws, which are, you know, inheritance laws, Europe, the guy who was probably Phibbon, he was able to participate in his sister's estate. So that's what kind of guy Europe is. But we have got, I think what we have here is a, antique article of fake news at his finest. And what's fake is there actually was a giant that was captured. Then, and here's the last thing I'm going to say about it,
Starting point is 01:09:00 the Cherokees have a legend about the slant ad giants. And I wondered, because people assumed that to be orientalized, but I wondered if something got lost in translation maybe. eyes, a friend of mine, if I were to say this, what does this mean? Does this mean, you know, their eyes are more shaped almond? And they said, no, that means they open perpendicularly, side to side instead of up and down. Oh, wow. And that was one of the exact descriptions that was given. So did you talk to someone who is familiar with the Cherokee language? Or? Yes. Yes. Wow. And they said that they said so much.
Starting point is 01:09:45 is lost in translation. And so I asked, I said, would it be fair to say that a lot of these legends you guys have that people call mess? These aren't myths at all. These are your experiences that you're sharing. And people are kind of, you know, brushing them off as if they're just nothing. And the guy got a tear in as I. And he was like, you get it.
Starting point is 01:10:07 And that was very. Yeah. And here I go getting emotional again. That meant a lot to me because the amount of respect I have, just, you know. And then the, I'm so sorry for what my ancestors did, even though I'm told it's not your fault. You didn't make this choice. We inherited it. I still feel responsibility for what was taken from them.
Starting point is 01:10:25 Sure. So the fact that he was willing to talk with me about that and confirm that, yes, this is what it means. This is what, you know, the slant eye giants, their eyes opened side to side instead of up and down. So that, yeah, that was a really interesting find because this is in Poland. This is a live giant. they were chasing down. So, man, when I remember when I was reading all the stuff you were sending over and I was like, this is wild.
Starting point is 01:10:55 And I don't know how she has the time to look into this on top of all the other stuff she's doing. It's intense. It is intense. I'll tell you how I'm just driven by something that I cannot even explain. And I can't, I mean, it's fun for me. I can't stop. I can't stop. the people who were mentioned in the articles,
Starting point is 01:11:15 I went back, I found their pictures. When they were available, I found their headstones. I wanted to know that these were actual people who lived and died. And I found pretty much every one of them. I don't know if I'll go to Jackson County, Alabama, before the documentary shooting, probably, because we're, you know, we're still needing a couple of subjects, and I'm going to hit up Reddit if you'll link me.
Starting point is 01:11:38 Or maybe introduce me and be like, hey, this is Missy. She's cool. She's not going to make fun of you. She needs some. help. That would be great because sometimes I can rub people the wrong way. I don't mean to. I love everyone, but, you know, they think that I'm a little crazy.
Starting point is 01:11:54 I don't think so. I think the TikTok community would love you. And, man, that is just, it's such a good community. See, people say that they make fun of you. And I'm sensitive. I don't like to be. Well, okay. So you got to have a little bit of thick skin.
Starting point is 01:12:13 But I've, you know, I've looked into stuff on Reddit and like it gets rough there. But the people that are into a subject on TikTok and they're for it, man, they were like, I've gotten accounts on that platform. I mean, people talk on that platform about what they've seen. They haven't shared it anywhere else. It's a really unique platform. And the algorithm is so strong. It's extremely strong. If you started to make TikToks about pale crawlers and rakes.
Starting point is 01:12:43 That's funny you say that. I'm like scared of TikTok, but I started on Reddit. That's where I started sparring with people and I, you know, they didn't bother me. So I think I'll be fine. Oh, yeah. Well, it'll be interesting to see you where this all heads next. But Missy, it has been a delight talking to you again. Of course.
Starting point is 01:13:01 Oh, I always have so much fun. I'm interviewing you one day. That would be fun. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. do you mind before we head out just reminding people how they can keep up to date with with what you're doing how they can contact you about helping out with the documentary and all that um sure yeah i'm gonna give my phone number um i've got two one for work and one for professional but um my phone number and i'll put it on my website too it says 1662 497 2904 and to contact me. I'm on Facebook, but I'm really bad about replying of messages. So probably the best
Starting point is 01:13:43 way would be to go to my website. There's a contact form, you know, and I'll have all my other information. My phone number, everything, it will be right there. And I will tell you, if you're going to call me or contact me through my cell phone, text me first because I have a lot of anxiety sometimes. And if I don't recognize the number, I will not answer.

Starting point is 01:17:37 So what I did is we're going to do it a little bit differently. It's now adding the current amount plus the amount that are joining. And there's tons of people joining every day. It's wild guys. So right now we're 176 members are in there, ready to go out of the 824 that are needed in order for us to go full-time.
