You're listening to Bigfoot Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first-hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways, the stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it, so settle in because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us.

Thank you. Hey guys, how's it going? Let me know. We'll spend some time hanging out today. And let me know if you guys can hear me through my headphones. Hope you guys are all having a good day. We'll talk about hopefully some people have. in big foot encounters and just have a good time.

Hey Damien, how are you? All right. How are you doing tonight? Hey, just, uh, we're having a good time, man. What's going on, man? All right. Living in West Virginia in the mountains, you, we always hear whoops and hollerings and everything else coming from the woods.

Now, we don't venture out into the woods after dark. I mean, but even, even my dog will not go outside. after dark. It is just not going to happen. There, you always get the strange feeling if you have to go out like on the porch that you're always being watched. And now granted, there are people that stay in the woods, but they even leave the woods when the sun goes down. They're not in there. But yeah, you go out onto the front porch and you just feel like you're being watched. So, I mean, it's literally one of those things.

Now, whether it could be a animal or a big foot, we don't know. You know, but even my girlfriend, I asked her one day as like, hey, let's go walking in the woods at night. She looked at me and she goes, you go out that door, I will lock it on you when you walk out. It's good to know. But, I mean, it's crazy because as a truck driver, we see strange things all the time. We hear strange things all the time when we're out someplace in the middle of God's country, nowhere. And you're like, I don't know what that sound was. I don't want to know what made that sound.

How about you stay where you are? I'll stay where I'm at and we'll just leave it at. Sure. Yeah, absolutely. Dude, that's wild. Has that been happening recently or? I would say it started about a year and a half ago. And it happens at least, I would say,

once, twice, maybe three times a week. If we get home late at night, we will hear grunting noises coming from the woods. We'll hear something whooping and hollering. It's like, yep, going inside. There was one day we got home. It was roughly about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. And my girlfriend looked at me and she was like,

Well, you quit making noises. I was like, I'm not making noises. She goes, well, maybe my daughter's here with the baby. It's like, okay. So we started looking around, and then I heard what she was hearing. It literally sounded like a baby crying from the woods. And at that point, we was like, nope. Go inside, going in.

And we got inside, shut, lock the door. And she goes, I don't care if I have to go back out. I'm not going back out the rest of the night. It's like, yeah, I don't blame you. I mean, there's no reason why we should be hearing baby cries from the woods. Yeah, that's bad news. Usually you hear that a lot from like southeast to Alaska where it, they use it to try to,

or so they say up there they use it to try to lure people into the woods. And so that's wild stuff, man. But can you share, and you don't have to get super specific, but like what part of West Virginia is this happening in? I live just about, I'd say, 45 minutes north of Charleston on I-79. Okay. And, you know, I don't know if maybe they're migrating down from Canada or something going through. through New York and all that and coming down to head south or whatever. But, I mean, it's like, guys pick someplace you want to go, okay, and stay.

You know, just stay wherever you're coming from. We don't want you down here. We don't need you down here. There's times at night that you'll start hearing all that. Okay, people in the mountains, we take our animals very, seriously and if it sounds like something maybe trying to get to our animals yeah we we we are going to go out with pew-pues and take care of business so you will hear those going off at random times of the night going into the woods and it's like yep somebody's just trying to protect what they got

you know and we know like i said we know it's not people because you know everybody that lives up there in the mountains matter of fact anywhere around that whole appalachian mountain range people don't go out after night there's a reason why you know and so when all that started it's like well that just confirms that we don't need to be going out after dark at all Oh, absolutely. Have you ever talked to your neighbors to see if they're experiencing things as well? Oh, yeah. Everyone up there is experiencing stuff. And, you know, we actually had one person that lives just down the mountain from us. You know, they literally had one of their dogs just unaligned. And it's like, yo, I don't think we have any big cats out here.

But, you know, something was not happy with that dog. Because she said she heard her dog barking and she didn't think none of it. She thought maybe someone was just coming up, you know, to our house or stopping at her house or whatever. And then she heard her dog screaming and basically screaming and hollering and just stop. and she said when she went out the next morning there was love you tick-tock-tok shot blood all over the place yeah she's like yeah but the animal was nowhere to be found at all i mean that that was the strangest part is like whatever did it did it right there and just took the animal with it i was like Yeah, that's that's hardcore right there.

It really is. I would be curious. I wonder if it was up in the trees, you know? You know, I've thought about that. And in fact, I know me and my girl, we went venturing in the woods one day, and I made the joke about, hey, maybe I should put on like a gorilla outfit, you know, and hang out in the trees. and she was like, probably not the best idea, you know.

And but after I said that, you know, it was weird because even though the wind wasn't blowing, some of the trees started moving. And it's like, okay, maybe we should get out of here. And when we have walked through during the day, we've never seen any kind of tree structures or anything else. So, I mean, it's like, are they hanging out in the trees? While it's daytime and watching everybody, seeing what they're doing, watching everybody's movements. And it's one of those that makes you think about what's going on.

Absolutely. The thing I hear a lot from West Virginia is there's a big deal where if you hear whistling, you could be in trouble or you never whistle back. Have you ever heard anything about that? Oh, yes. Oh, yes. One of my friends was doing a paranormal investigation up in New York area. And they were in the Appalachian Mountains. And, you know, I told her, don't go into the woods whistling at all because you don't know what's going to answer you back. And her boyfriend was standing right next to her and she's one of those, she's got to push boundaries. She has to. And he said that when they walked in to the woods, she immediately started whistling. And right when they

started that, he said the only way that he could explain it was, All the wind died, died down. All the animals stopped. You know, all the critters stopped moving around because he said it was like one, two o'clock in the morning. And he said it sounded like a huge boulder was crashing through the woods at them. And he said right when he heard that, he grabbed her by the arm, yanked her out of the woods. They went back into the house. they never went back into the woods that night.

And I looked at them, or I told them, it's because she went into the woods whistling and something was telling you guys, you are no longer welcome there. And, I mean, that's something we don't, I won't even do. I mean, I have seen stuff in my lifetime. I will not go into those woods and whistle. anywhere in those woods and whistle because I don't want to have something coming at me going, yeah, you're no longer welcome here, your picture would be taken care of.

So, I mean, maybe if you have a wish to see something and not enjoy that time frame, I say go for it, but I won't. I enjoy my life. I don't want to be alive by something that can rip my own arms off and beat me with them. Oh, absolutely. I mean, you got to, the thing I pick up a lot from these areas, including West Virginia, is like you got to be, you got to show respect to the nature you're in or you don't get too many chances, you know. No, and, you know, the one thing that people don't understand is, yeah, the Rocky Mountains are nice, you know, and the mountains over on the West Coast are nice, but the Appalachian Mountains are actually the oldest mountain range in the United States. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. And, you know, there's a reason why people do the things they do in those mountains. just so we stay alive, you know, we try to respect everything there, but at the same time, we're also going about it as, if you're going to disrespect something in those mountains and in those woods, prepare to suffer the consequences. Mm-hmm. Absolutely. Absolutely.

You know, that's why when all this activity started a year and a half ago at our place, it made me wonder, are they coming down following the mountains from Canada, going down to like Kentucky or Tennessee or something where it might be a little bit cooler or a little bit warmer, more food? I don't know. Right, right, absolutely. Oh, my goodness. You are right in the thick of it. Do you got to keep us up to date if you can with stuff that happens in the future, man?

Oh, yeah, because, I mean, I know I'm going to try to get some of the audio from up there. I'll see if I can put my phone out there on the porch and just sit out there and try to get it. But, I mean, if my girl let me, you know, if she'll send it to me, you know, there's other strange things that happened in those woods. Like one night we were sitting at home, we're both sitting on the bed talking. The ring doorbell camera went off. So she's like, okay, maybe somebody's here.

She pulled it up on her phone. Nothing there. Then the one that we have on the back door, it went off. Like, well, maybe they went around the back or something. Nothing there. the one on the front door went off again, and only this time, whatever set it off, literally said hey, in her voice. And at that moment, I looked at her, I said, either you got really good at throwing your voice or something is trying to lure us outside. Oh, my goodness.

That's serious stuff, dude. We both went to bed at that time. We was like, nope, nope, it's time for bed. And, you know, I've always had this one weird theory about, you know, Bigfoot. Because every time somebody has a siding or something, you always hear that at that moment that there's stuff in the sky that they cannot explain going over. And I'm wondering if maybe he is not from this plan or from this dimension even, you know,

maybe that's why he could be there one minute and gone the next. I mean, it's one of those things where, like, there, I don't think there's any wrong answers yet, but, I mean, you hear these stories, especially Southwest Pennsylvania, where, you know, you got the UFO sightings and the Bigfoot sightings happening, you know, right, right close proximity. And it's just, it's some wild, wild stuff. But Damien, I appreciate you coming up and sharing what you're dealing with down there and West Virginia.

And please keep us in the loop with what you got going on. You can, if you do get audio, I would love to hear it. I have an email. It's Bigfoot Society at gmail.com. If you do get something. And, yeah, I would love to hear it. Thank you so much for coming up, man. Oh, yeah, you're welcome, man.

And as soon as I get it, I will definitely send it to you. All right, sir. Well, I hope you're able to hang out, but I'm going to check in with some other people, and thank you, man. Yeah, yeah. I'll stay down in the basement. That way you can check with other people. So. All right.

Good stuff, my goodness. He's got some wild stuff going on. Let's see. I am going to... Check in. We've got a few people wanting to come up now. So let's see who we got here. Oh, hey, Eagle Eyes. How's it going? Hello? Good. How are you? Hey, doing good, man. I'm glad you were able to come up. Yes, yes. Can you hear me, sir? Uh-oh. I think, I think, I can hear it. I can hear it. Perfect. Perfect. And yeah, it kicked me out. And somebody on the live, I clicked on it. It took me to a different. Sasquatch site and he was able to get me back.

So I lived in Oregon for 20-some years and did a lot of hunting and fishing. So my experience is centralized around Butte Falls, Oregon. You know where that's at? Looking it up. Let's see, Butte Falls. Yes, yes, that's over by... just outside of Medford, kind of. It's like northeast of Medford.

Yeah, there's Medford, then there's Central Point, then there's Eagle Point, and then that area. So I've been hunting in that area for 20-plus years, and I get up there one day in the afternoon, just so you know what I was carrying. I was carrying a bone arrow and my pistol. And I got up into the woods. I got to my normal hunting spot and sat down on my log.

But prior to getting there, I, got out of the truck and immediately was overcome by a smell. It was enough that it burned my nose and made my eyes water a little bit. So I get back down to my stump and I'm sitting there. And out in this opening, there's about, I'd say, eight or ten squirrels out there are playing around. Now this is about a mile and a half from where I I smelled the smell. So probably, I would say 30 minutes, all the squirrels just start standing. And right across this field, all of them, and up over the hill and disappear.

Now, normally squirrels, when they're startled, or in danger will hop up a tree. And I felt that that was a little peculiar, but probably, I would say within the next five minutes, probably 25 yards in the thicket, I hear three big bangs on a tree. This gets my attention, and the hair in the back of my neck stands up.

up and shortly within a minute or two I hear a quick succession of bangs to my left probably a hundred yards or more away now this goes on for about three or four times and then just completely stopped and I'm like okay well now I'm really concerned I'm getting a little nervous Just so you know, the background, I've been in the woods all my life. I've had bear cougars. I've had bear within five inches of me and never was afraid or scared of anything. But this got my attention. At this point, I put my bow back up over my shoulder.

I withdraw my pistol. I lock and load it. And I walk backwards for a mile and a half. back to my truck. When I get back to my truck, that smells no longer there. And I'm like,

hmm, I'm wondering if this is a bigfoot experience. Now, if you're familiar with Oregon and California, there's the Sasquatch Museum and everything down in in California.

So I drive down there I meet the gentleman there. He looks at me. He asks, let me yes. And he threw just a few things out at me. And I just kind of was like very startled. He said, yes. You were very, very close to a Sasquatch.

And they were communicating with each other. And I said communicating. He said, yes, I've heard hundreds and hundreds of stories. And it's the three bangs followed by. four or five quick bangs and this goes on two or three times and then just stops and basically all they're doing is communicating with each other don't know what but that is is what they're doing so I leave I go home I'm kind of bewildered and I pondered on for weeks and weeks really didn't say anything to anybody so me and another buddy of mine went back

up there a week later we walked around there was nothing dead there the smell wasn't there um we walked all the way around it was it's a very thick area where i hunt at with a little swampiness in there. Didn't find any prints or anything like that, but we walked to probably a good square mile around that area to see if we could see anything and basically came up with nothing. So I know this was a big, big foot encounter. I mean, all of my years in the woods, I've never encountered anything that's ever made me fearful. So that's my kind of crazy story. That's wild. I've actually talked to another gentleman that had a really interesting experience around that area of Butte Falls. They had a really, really cool, really good thermal

sighting when he was out with his, he had a wolf hybrid, and the wolf hybrid. And the wolf hybrid started freaking out and then they saw a figure stepping out from behind a tree and retreating through their thermal scope. That was in Butte Falls back in summer of 2025. So wild, wild stuff. Yeah, this was prior to 2025. This was probably, I want to say this was 2007. when this went on. And prior to this, I'm going to add a, can I add a little more? Yeah, absolutely. Okay, so growing up at 12 years old, I had an uncle who didn't, wouldn't believe anything if he couldn't touch it, taste it, or,

see it physically with his own eyes. Now this is in the 70s and he had taken a trip to Idaho and they were out on this little Tory boat that one around this big lake I don't I don't I don't even remember what lake or where at in in Idaho he was but he came over to the house He was quite upset. He had some pictures that he just had developed. We didn't have the digital in those days, so you couldn't just send them. And it was taken with one of those little one-tenths.

And he goes to his stories. We were driving along, and we looked over at the shore, and we saw a big log. Saw at that moment, the back bear. And the captain was like, oh, maybe we can get a little bit closer, but I don't want to disturb nature. At that point, everybody in the boat got really nervous and told the captain not to, and he's like, why? And they're like, look, well, now the black bear is standing on its hind legs, per se.

everybody's taking pictures and a second later they everybody's like at all this thing picks up probably a 10 foot by three foot round log off the ground and puts it on his shoulders and then quarters away into the woods and the captain of the boat was so shook up that if he said if you ever mention this or anything about this, I will completely deny it because it's not, I didn't see anything. So then my uncle goes to, they were really grainy pictures, but you can see what they thought was a black bear and then you can see this thing with a log on its shoulder walking into the woods. Wow.

So my uncle from there on out was a firm believer in Bigfoot because he said, I see. saw it. I saw it. And I was like, oh my gosh, really. And he goes, he goes, yes. And this is a person, I can lay my hand on a stack of Bibles that, again, if he can't touch it, taste it or see it, would not believe in it. So yeah, so that was, you know, quite the experience. I've never had anything else in my 50 plus years in the woods to compare to this. Even the gentleman down there at the Bigfoot Museum in California when I described everything to him, he was like he was, you know, older than being excited. he goes, yeah, that is a big foot experience.

And I have to see all the foot distance being everything. It was quite enlightening. Wow. I think for me, I think a big foot, big foot have a very sense of their surroundings and an acute smell. So they, it doesn't matter if you're masking yourself or whatever when you're in there. You know, going back and reviewing but sightings and reading everything they did. And a lot of times in most sightings, not everyone, everybody comes up on a big foot and they've startled it. So the big foot hasn't had a chance to physically get out of the location as quickly as it possibly can.

But to this day, and even back in the 70s, I believed in Bigfoot and nobody can tell me any different because of what I've heard, seen, and experienced. That's, that's, what a fantastic story. And now I live down to Texas. There you go. There's some Bigfoot stuff that happens in southeast and northeast Texas for sure. Thank you for coming up, sir. I appreciate you sharing your account. You're very welcome.

Hopefully this will help people to believe and understand and maybe jog some of their memories if they've been in a weird experience that they couldn't explain anything that was like off the wall. Hi, good morning. Let's see, I have a story from back in 1989. I was very, I was young, I was, I think I was maybe 17 years old, and I was with a friend. I live on the, I grew up on the East Coast, but I met a gal on a backpacking trip who lived

on the West Coast in California. And together, when we were 17, we drove up from California up into Oregon to just a go on a road trip and, you know, see the country. And so this one night, we had gone to Crater Lake during the day to visit Crater Lake. And then we left, I can't remember what time of day we left Crater Lake, but it would have been toward the end of the day before dark. And we were driving, we drove north of there, and we were somewhere in Oregon north of Crater Lake. And I know at one point we were going due east because we had been driving for a while and I could see the full moon was rising up between two big kind of like pine trees in the road

dead ahead of us. Shortly after that, we stopped at a campground because we wanted to, you know, camp out for the night. And there was nobody in that campground. And as I recall, it was like a state camp type of campground, you know, where you leave your money in the little box in the front. There was nobody in that campground. That kind of creeped us out a little bit. So we decided to continue on. We drove for maybe another 15, 20 minutes, maybe less, not sure. Got to another campground. And we were heading east, and we were taking lefts into these campgrounds. I do remember that. Anyway, we got into this campground. We drove way down. into the back there was one person there at the beginning it might have been like the camp

um host i'm not sure but there was one car in the very beginning we drove way down into the back and i remember we were like there was like um where we we decided to camp it was like little camping spots that you picked and um i remember there was it was wooded and like kind of like it went up a hill in front of us anyway we threw down our tarp. We didn't have a tent or anything. We just threw our sleeping bags down on a tarp. And we were awake, like, writing in our journals and chatting for a little bit. And then we decided to go sleep, turned off the flashlight. And it was not long after that when suddenly something just came stomping through the campground. Came from the left. Like, it was

walking along the tree line and like when I say stomping it was so obviously on two feet heavy-footed you know cadence like rhythmic stomp stump stump you know it was so obvious that it was on two feet so loud and heavy-footed um came along and stopped I think maybe no more than 20 feet away if if that um It must have been pretty heavily wooded in there because I could not see what this was. And I wanted so badly to turn on my flashlight and see what it was. But I was, no way was I going to do that. I was just kind of terrified and just frozen.

I didn't want to move. So previous to that, whenever I tell friends or family the story, I forget the part. Before we turned off the flashlight, went to sleep. We had heard what I described at the time as howling coming from that wooded area. And I don't know what that sounded like, unfortunately, but I do know that we specifically used the word howling. And we just thought it was like, I don't know, maybe some coyotes in there, did not scare us. So, but then after this thing came up, it came up, it stopped, like I said, like maybe 20 feet away.

I'm frozen, not wanting to move. I think I'm running out of time here. So let me stop this now. It's a good time to stop, I think, and send you another one for the next part, another voice for the next part. Hi again. So this is part two. Hopefully I can get through this in the next five minutes. So basically, I think where I left off, we had heard the howling, turned off the flashlight, this thing came stomping along. It stopped. Now, like I had said, we weren't afraid of the howling when we first heard it, but this thing came stomping along, stopped. And then instead of, like I had said, I was like, laying. they're kind of like frozen, terrified. It did not stomp away. It stood there. It was stood there. It walked up. It stood there about 20 feet away. I have no, I don't know, maybe for 20 seconds. That's kind of a guess, but it stood there for a few moments. And then I could hear that thing creeping

away up through those trees as if it was tiptoeing. So all I could hear was little twigs breaking as it was retreating. And it blew my mind. I'm like, this thing just stomped. pumped up and now it is just making the quietest little sound as it retreats as if it knew that I was aware of it and wanted to, wanted to leave very, very quietly. So at that point, I whispered to my friend when I felt like I had like retreated a bit, I whispered to my friend, I said, did you hear that? And she was like, huh? She was, she was, had been sleeping through it. And she woke up and she said, no, I didn't hear anything. And I told her it happened. And I said something just stopped through our campground. And suddenly we hear the howling

again. And this time it's closer, much closer. And there were multiple howls like one and then another and then another. And at that point, we both said, okay, let's get out of here. And we we counted to three and we high-tailed it out of there in like pure terror at every moment, any moment in thinking, this thing was going to jump out. I mean, we were grabbing, like just grabbed everything in one fell swoop and just stuffing it into the Jeep and like I'm climbing like, we're literally leaving the campground with me like in the passenger seat on top of all of our stuff because there was no time. We were so scared to like properly, you know, get our stuff packed in there. So it was pretty hilarious and scary, really scary at the same time. So we left there and it was just, I will say,

the night just felt like otherworldly. She was driving. We just kept heading west toward Idaho. I'm sorry, east toward Idaho. And it was just, the night just felt so magical. And we weren't even speaking. We didn't even really talk about it. I was just in shock at what had just happened.

And I did think of Bigfoot. Now, I'm looking up at the sky. there's like this, this moon and these, the clouds were just forming all these shapes. And I'm up, I'm looking at the clouds. They're forming the shape of a Native American chief's head. They're forming one was literally a big foot in the sky was formed in the cloud. I know that all sounds really weird, but this happened. And all my girlfriend said, my friend, she was like, we're dead silent, not even talking.

And she just kind of like leaned forward and looked up toward. the sky and said, whoa, there are some really, you know, like crazy things up in the sky right now. And I don't, and that was it. We didn't even speak. We were just both kind of, just kind of, I don't know, like just in shock and in this weird, kind of otherworldly place. And I don't know how else to describe it. That's it.

And yeah, that's it. So thanks for letting me share. take care. And thanks for your podcast because it's it's really awesome. Hey, Jeremiah. It's Dan from Shelby and Gaffney area again. Yeah, so continuing from like when we last spoke, the ones in Gaffney were on a dead end street. It was abandoned. And years ago, me and my brother were looking at a property in Shelby to buy, which was also on a dead end street abandoned. And so I went behind my neighborhood across the tracks to the storage unit.

And they were trying to build, they're in the process of trying to build other storage units and the dirt that surveyed over there. It had tracks in it and handprints. The handprints have six fingers. So I usually see five toes and then all the handprints I've seen so far have six fingers Five fingers and a thumb anyway So we I tracked it through that dirt across the street through a farm Back through the wood line behind on the other side of the farm field with a Looks like it's like spinach greens or some kind of some kind of green low crop

Anyway, went back to past the forest line followed it all the way to this ranch that's across the street from the abandoned street that that that has the dead end and when I got to that street it was just covered in broken trees trees that two trees that were busted out towards the road but their tops were knocked off so it looks like it like smashed them outward towards the towards the street and they were like smashed out towards the street diagonal and then also smashed out outward from each other and then looks like the tops were ripped off too and and then there was a bunch of other stick formations block paths beaten in paths leading to some of the abandoned houses and and then that

brings me to like recently i've been seeing these videos of uh these things in the trees that people were calling the squatches and uh last night uh my neighbor's tree in the woods behind my house off to the right uh cracked off and came down and then after that i heard like uh stick walking away from it in the woods on my side and then neighbors came out or we're wondering what was happening because there was no wind and i was like quietly whispering a video talking about how it was the squatch that did it and i was sitting on the back porch again this was this wasn't even dark at this point this was uh right at dusk so anyway uh i think that's uh updates oh yeah and it's been coming up to my trailer at night and pressing on the uh pop-out uh where i sit and watch tv or

relax or work on stuff. And, uh, you know, it's just sitting there like I can hear it like, like, uh, like, uh, the edges of it are settling or something. And then I went outside and there's like deep impressions. This is a younger one with smaller feet. And the 16 incher of, uh, recently showed up too. I think it got pissed because I was going back to that location in Gaffney where I told you I stopped going to because I figured, you know, if I have the opportunity, I might as well. anyway, that's it. That's it for this one. Hey there, Jeremiah. Since I only have five minutes to do this, I'm going to skip straight to the point. I can share other info later. So I had multiple Sasquatch experiences. One of them on the coast of Oregon,

on the edge of Flores Lake State Park, deep in the woods, almost at nightfall. And the two main ones that happened to me occurred in the Puget Sound of Washington, while I was on a missionary base, a Waiwam base in the winter. And then the next winter, I didn't find stable housing and good work. So I ended up becoming homeless and living in the woods. The place that made sense to camp was next to where my storage unit was, which was about halfway between Chimicam and Port Townsend, very, very close within a stone's throw of Port Townsend,

state park. I could go into a lot of details on each of these. But the first thing that happened was when I was on the Y-O-M base in the middle of winter. I stayed up late. Everybody was on vacation. We weren't really doing much so I could do whatever I wanted with my time. I went down to a bench that overlooks Discovery Bay and as a trail that goes down to the ocean. And behind me is a small suburban neighborhood that had a huge patch of forest behind it, one of the bigger patches. of forest that connects to other patches of forest that are on that peninsula. And I'm sitting there on the bench at like 2 a.m. And it's quiet and still.

And then I hear the loudest, like, horrifying scream that was very long, at least like five to ten seconds. It went on. And it was very high-pitched at first. It kind of sounded like a muscular, enraged woman screaming in distress or anger. or something like that. And then it fluctuated very high and very low and very high and very low. And then I remember thinking, what the heck was that?

I couldn't figure it out. And I thought, that should just wake up everybody in the entire neighborhood. And nobody woke up. Nobody came out and turned on their porch light to look around or anything like that. And so that kind of stayed with me. and I ended up becoming homeless camping and a tent that next winter. I didn't find stable housing

and I was right on the edge of Port Townsend Historical State Park. It was closed for the winter for renovations and there were some deer trails that were near the entrance that went off. It wasn't on parkland but it was like right next to it. It was the only place that made sense for me to camp. And we had this big windstorm come through. I was there. It was the night after the windstorm that everything was super still,

you know, like the calm after the storm. And I'm sitting there on my phone at like 10 p.m. And all of a sudden I hear louder and louder, large, heavy footsteps running on the deer trail that leads to my camp. My tent was kind of hidden behind a particular. tree, which was intentional. I didn't want people seeing me from the road. And it didn't see me either, but then it stopped because it must have. And facing my direction, I heard it whooped very, very loudly, at least three or four times. And before it finished whooping, I heard return whoops from like an alpha male, like a big male that were really freaking deep. And I can sing bass.

This was deeper. And it sounded concerned. The first whoops were like, alertive, like, hey, I found somebody. I found something. And then the concerned whoops were like something a parent would do, like, hey, don't mess with them or whatnot. And this thing circled my tent and

multiple things happened. I shared more in the email that I sent you. And I'm about to run out of time here. But yeah, this thing got very close to me. And I had a very interesting encounter that I can't say anybody else I've heard on many, many podcasts. had. It was just kind of the way I responded. I did catch a video of myself in the tent being

quiet and you can hear one of its footsteps crushing twigs and needles, but it was really quiet while it was circling my tent, like it was trying to, you know, like ninja footsteps. Yeah, anyways, I also had an encounter with a pale crawler not far from there near the paper mill in the middle of winter on my e-bike, on the shoreline after a Brazilian jiu-jitsu class, and I have had dwinday encounter recently here living in New Mexico. I'm about to run out of time. So let me know if you want to talk. Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners.

If you're in the military, any branch, or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a national park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI, a federal agency or working intelligence, and you 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.
