to the show tonight to share. And Neil, how are you doing today, sir? I'm doing good. How are you doing? Doing great. And this is this is one of the ones that I have really been looking forward to. I mean, just I've seen the stuff you share and the stuff you have on the site. And it just, I think people are especially going to learn a ton from this show tonight. So, you know, Neil, let's make the best use of our time. And I'm going to let you go ahead and take us. back as far back as we need to go to when you started experiencing all this and feel free to go right ahead, sir. Okay, sounds good. Let me start a little background on myself. When I grew up, I lived in the country. We didn't have any really neighbors to play with and stuff like that,

but I used to love the outdoors. My dad would take me hunting. He learned me valuable lessons. one of the ones he always taught me is don't shoot and kill anything unless you're planting on eating it. So that's one thing that was drilled into me. You're taking a life. Don't take a life unless you're going to use it for food. But I was always in the woods. My mom got so mad at me that she put a bail out in front of the house because we have like 77 acres right there at the house. So I was always out in the woods

And she could call as much as she wanted But I could never hear her So she could have bail out in front So she could call me to let me know Come out of the woods It's time to come in and eat or go somewhere But I used to love to be in the woods I would sit up on the hillside

Looking over a big bottom I would just close my eyes And listen to all the animals The sounds they make And what's amazing is After a short period of time I learned that animals talk to each other. They make certain sounds, and if you learn them,

you can actually tell that that sound means that this animal's around, especially the squirrels. The squirrels have a sound for everything. If it's a hawk or an owl, they'll get one loud, well, all the squirrels will freeze. Once they at work, and then when they pass by, then the one that did the original scream was start up again

and then all the others would start moving and talking. But they had a different sound for dogs, cats, people, deer. Oh, they hated deer because deer would eat their acorns. And they would just start yelling and screaming at them. Like, there's something they could do

that they're just look up at them like, you're crazy. You know, these are my acorns soup, you know. But it was so funny because I started realizing that they if I can learn this stuff in a short period of time, how much do these animals know that are there all the time? My biggest nemesis was the crow.

The crows could see in color and they have binocular vision and they will surround an area and they will give you away because they can see that orange on you that my dad always made me wear orange. They can see that orange for miles away. They would let the whole woods know. and you might as well pack it up then. If you see a dough or a little one, that'll be all you see because the crows already gave you away.

The big bugs, stuff like that, you're not going to see them. But I learned how to track animals. I learned what was normal to the woods. I learned about scrapes, normal tree breaks, tornadoes coming through what it looks like, floods, what it looks like, all kind of different things I learned. In fact, they got to the point that if somebody shot a deer and didn't kill it, it was injured, they would call me to help hunt it down or to track it so that they could put it out of its misery as quick as possible. Because that's not what hunters do.

Hunters that are going to eat it, want to put them out of their misery as quick as possible, don't want the pain and suffering. So I learned a lot of valuable lessons as a kid. now I'll come back into current the situation. About 10 years ago, my wife found this property in North Georgia that was beautiful. The property was beautiful, but he'd been abandoned for 10 years. So it was overgrown. So as soon as you drive into it, you see brush and scrubs and everything,

ain't a 10 foot tall. And I'm like, I don't know about this, but then when you get up, there and see the house, how pretty the house is. And you realize it's got two streams on it. It had an old pond on it. There's some structures on it and stuff. And everything that I saw, and I love deer. Dear are my favorite animals of all of them. I love to watch them grow their atlers each year. And this should have been a deer haven. There was everything, scupling vines, grapes, they had plants and grapes. They had grapes. There was honeysuckle. Oh, my goodness, there was stuff all over the place, brows and the deer could eat. So I just knew there had to be

a bunch of deer here. So after we saw it, we ended up buying the property. And after we, it's going to be some work because we had to make a pad for all the kids to park on. The front had to be cleaned up and bush hogs so that you actually had grass and stuff out there again. And back behind the house was the same way. It had to be cleared up. So it took some time. I always wanted to help fruit trees when I retired. This was going to be our retirement pole.

So I planted apple trees of two types, red delicious and yellow delicious, peaties trees, two or three types of peaches, three types of peaches. It already had some fig trees on it. It already had some pecan trees on it. It already had, well, I planted some blueberry bushes and also planted some persimmons. Now, of course, the deer, when they come around, they love to get on the apple and peat trees and get the little brows off of it. So all of the stuff I planted, I had to put dating around, about six foot tall, put teaposts in the ground, dating around it. And then on the ground, I would put the fabric so that the grass wouldn't compete with the, young trees and they can grow better.

Not only that, but if freak falls off of it, it's not going to get dirty and messed up up because it's going to be on the fabric. So there's a lot of things that we did to try to make it back into shape the way we wanted to be. The funny thing about it was, they're just wanting that many deer track. I couldn't understand that. This place was perfect for deer. It had the two creeks.

The banks were cut 10 to 12 foot deep. you had nice clean water, all the stuff to eat, but they're just worth that many here. So with me loving nature, like I did, I went started planting clover out in the front field, and winter peas during the winter, I would put extra food out there for them, other supplemental feeding out there for them in what's called stump feeders, and I would put little shoots on the bottom so that whatever was in it wouldn't get on the ground. and get all murky and messy, I put mineral blocks out there. I would put in the back, I had a bunch of eight to 10 bird feeders,

and I had one, four or five of the stump feeders that I was putting supplemental feeding in. And so the deer started to come. And I was happy about it. But still something on the proper. I saw things that made no sense to me. I saw things that is not normal to what I used to see. And all the animals where I grew up are the same as the animals are here. There's no bear here at this location.

They have bear around other locations, but there's none here. But I saw things like, I saw this one trail after we cut, bush hogged it in the back. This trail was, I'm 6'4 and really wide because I played football and probably, probably a foot for me's shoulder, the trees and all were that far away from the trail. And I'm like, wow, that's not normal. You can look anywhere and you barely can get through it. Here's this trail that's like this.

I go look at the trail. I can't figure out what's making this trail. This trail, whatever it's been using, it has everything crushed. All the leaves are smashed flat on the ground. All the limbs and branches that have fallen are smashed and crushed. Now, a deer, when they step on a little twig or stick, it'll break it, but it's not going to smush it. This stuff had been smushed. And I started trying to think the only animal that I knew that could,

could do stuff like that would be an elephant. I mean, it looked like a bunch of elephants would walk in a row and just crush everything as that step on it. But as far as I knew in Georgia, they don't have any escaped elephants. So it's not that, but I couldn't figure out what was making the trail. Then on the other side of the creek near the house, I had to go over there on that side and I actually had to cut a bunch of trees down to get to the old pond. But on the other side, it was weird because remember, I said there's 10 to 12 foot banks,

but they used to bulldozer to make a trail to ride over there. So the banks are about 10 foot tall on each side. But in the trail itself, on the other side, there's three logs. And each log is as big around as my waist, but they haven't been cut. They look like they had just been snout. and they were put flat on the ground. They weren't coming from the banks. They were all the way across, but they weren't coming from the banks.

There was no root hole. I'm like, this is weird. Why would anybody want to block off this trail when there's nothing over here? And then why would they use a chainsaw or something? These had just been snout, and there were three of them in a row that I had to move out away. And it took an effort to get them moved out away because, They were super heavy. But it made no sense to me.

I mean, I kept going, why would a person do this? Why would somebody do this? It made no sense. And when I finally got the trail made to the pond, the streams were blocked up. So what I decided to do was I decided to take water out of one of the streams, pump it over into the pond, and restock it. And that's a process.

You take meadows in, then you take the brimmed, then you take the bass in. And so I started stocking it with minnows. Now, for those that don't know, minnows lay their eggs on the bottom of woods, or these minnows did. They would leave their eggs on the bottom of tree liens and stuff like that. And what happened was after we got it over there,

there's an old open-sided barn over there next to that pond, and they used to make furniture. there was sawdust on the floor. And then they caught fire. So one day when I was driving up, I saw all the smoke from over there, and I took two of the kids over there with me,

and saw what was going on, and I was trying to fight it. There was a big table that they would put lumber and stuff on and cut it. And I was using a rake, and I was raking it back under that table. And I had to run back to the house

two buckets. I had to put one in the crept to get the water and another one up top to bring it from him to me, throw it on it, keep pushing it, and it was getting out of control. So I ended up having to call the fire department to help. Now, by the time they got there, I already had it under control, but at the time I called him, I didn't think it was going to happen that way. And it was going to get close to the roof. So when the fireman got there, they took those, and I couldn't figure out why the fire wasn't

going through that table. It should have burnt right through it all the way to the root, but it never did. Well, as we started breaking it apart, we realized that was an old tiny pool table that had slated. The slate was stopping it from burning through, but there were burning embers on the legs and sideboard and everything like that. So the firemen took all the sideboards and the legs, and they were heavy. Some were like 20 and 30 pounds. threw them into the pond.

And one side would be burned, the other side wouldn't be burned. And so they were floating in the pond, you know, no big deal. But then after a while, when the minnows were getting bigger, I was like, you know, I need to get those out of there. They were spread out. They were within three foot of the bank. And there's really no, the way we have the water going in it, there's really no stream. There's no flow in it. So where they are, it didn't watch that way.

It was put that way, but they were spread out and all the corners in the side within three foot of the bank. And the burnt side was down all of them, which was strange.

But anyway, I wanted to get them out because I didn't want the guppies, the minnows, to try to lay the eggs on the bottom of them and it kill them. Do something to them. So we had took all those heavy things. And the first one, when I rolled it over, it had leeches all over it.

big leeches. I'd have to clean them off, put them in the boat. Hopefully the leeches wouldn't get on me and stick to me. Then go and throw them up against the bank. When they had made that with a bulldozer, there's a trail around it for a cyber side or a for a wheeler to go on. And I was throwing it on the hill behind it.

Take them all out and throw it there. The next weekend, well, we would go to throw some food out for the minnows. they were back in the water. I'm like, what's doing this? Why is you stuff back into water? And they were in all four corners and one on each side, and the burnt side was down. Now, I don't know if you know about wood or not,

but the bird side is the lighter side. The side is not burnt. It's going to be the heavier side. So I didn't know why the burnt side was always down. At the very worst, you should have 50-50 burnt side up and the other side down. But all the time they were down, I would go back out there. I would take and pick them up, get all the leeches off of it, throw them back up on the bank. The next weekend I'd go there back in the water again.

Now, some of these things are 20 to 30 pounds. Some of them were four to five foot long because it was on a pool table on the side. So when I went back that time, I said, okay, I'm going to take these out one more time because this makes no sense to me. You've got to have hands to be putting this in there, to pick it up and put it back in there. Beaver aren't going to touch anything burned. They're going to touch fresh and growth of little trees. Raccoons aren't going to have anything to do with it.

Nothing that I knew of would do. it, throw it back in there, and whatever he's doing it, had to out hand. Put him in there third time. I mean, took them out a third time. And finally, after the third time, I said, Bob it. I'm tired of fighting this. They can just stay in there. So I never at that time knew what was doing it.

Then in December of 2019, my kids got me a cutout of a big, foot that was painted black. And I was always a cryptid lover. I always wanted to watch the shows. They intrigued me. And honestly, I thought that there was a 50-50 chance because of all the sightings and

witness encounters and the Indians all had cave drawings along with other animals that were real. So why would they put Bigfoot with the other animals unless they were real? But I thought they were on the West Toast. Or up in Canada, or

Alaska. I never, ever thought that it possible that they could be here. So, anyway, that gives you an idea of where my head was at the time. I was nowhere around thinking that Bigfoot could be here. But I'd seen all that stuff that made no sense. Two weeks later, in January of 2020, my wife was watching a movie. Now, this was a scary movie. It was late at night. I don't like to watch scary movies. She loves to watch scary movies. They made me angry and made me want to hit the TV to kill whatever's trying to hurt people.

I don't know why. That's just the way I'm wired. So I went to bed. About 1 a.m., she walks out on the backboard. It's nice and cool out there. She got too hot. She had had the fireplace on, and so she won't out there and go out there and it'd be cool. She gets out there, and after just a minute or so,

to the right of her, there is a super loud whistle. Now, this whistle, she used to see people in high school, there were a lot of people that could whistle real loud, but she had never heard anything whistle this loud. And it was just out from where the light would reach, so you couldn't see it. It was probably 30 to 40 yards out. Then she didn't know what was going on.

Now, we had dogs on the outside. and they were going crazy. We have them a nice big shed with a little heater and air conditioning their couch, a little back deck on it with a fence stand. They were jumping up and down on the fence, barking like crazy. And the only animal I'd ever heard whistle was a deer. But a deer wouldn't go that direction because the next time it whistled, it had moved about 30 yards more in front of her.

in between the bird feeder and the big foot cut out, and he whistled again. Now, this time, she thought it was one of the kids trying to play a prank on her, trying to scare her. So she said, you're not going to scare me. Come back inside. The dog is still barking going crazy.

Then it goes within five yards of the dog pen, where the dogs are jumping up and down going crazy. No deer in rut or anything else. would ever get within five yards of a fence. He's got dogs jumping up and down on it. As soon as they would hear them start barking, they're going to take off the other direction. They want nothing to do with dogs.

Then he went on down to the creek in the woods and gave one last long whistle down there. So then she knew it wasn't the kids. First off, they wanted a flashlight. They would have had a flashlight. They would never go in the woods in after dark because they didn't grow up like I did and familiar with the outdoor.

So she ran in the house, she checked to see if all the kids were there and sure enough, they were all asleep, every one of them. So she runs in there, wakes me up, and she says, come here,

come here, there's something out here, there's something out here. So I drove my shoes on. I go out there on the back porch. I'll listen, I don't hear anything. There's nothing there,

but I know my wife doesn't lie to me, and she was in a panic. I don't think she was, scared. It was more of confusion because she had no idea of what it walked. Honestly, I didn't either. But I wasn't going to, it didn't freak me out because I've been around wildlife long enough to know there's nothing really I can't handle in the outdoors. So, but I kept that in my mind, along with all the other stuff that I'd seen. And I kept processing it. My mind is, your mind is like a computer. It keeps processing things and wants to figure out what it is.

Two weeks later, after that, at 4.47 in the morning, something hit the brick wall, our house is brick. Something hit the brick wall. We have a window on each side of the bed. And it hit in between those and in between us in the bed. And it hit so hard the whole house ship. there was a picture on the wall that's about 20 pounds. I'm quick to wake up.

She never hardly wakes up. I open my eyes, I see the top of the picture going back, which means it went out first. Then the bottom comes out and goes back. Then it turns sideways. It almost knocked it off the wall. I'm like, holy cow, why in the world did that? And by that time my wife woke up, she goes, what was that?

I said, I have no idea. what that was. So I sat up on the side of the bed and I'm going, okay, let me figure this out. What could do something like that? Well, sometimes if a jet does a sonic boom near your house and it's close enough and low enough, they could make the whole house shape. But this wasn't a sonic boom because you hear the after effect of the jet watch. Didn't hear that.

This was just a hit on the thing. I didn't hear the boom from it or anything like that. that. So I knew what not. Then I thought, well, what about an earthquake? And I said, no, I've been through an earthquake. That's like a wave in the ocean going under your house. And this, whatever this was, hit high up on the wall. And then I started thinking, well, the only other thing is a tree falling on your house, but the trees are too far away from the house right here to hit the house. And there's no storm outside. There's no lightning. There's no wind. I don't know. know what? I don't know what did it. But I got up, grabbed my iPad. I go into the bathroom

because my wife, she's going back to sleep, and I don't want to disturb her by looking through stuff. So I looked through to see if anybody else reported anything weird that happened. Nothing. There was nothing weird reported anywhere else. So it wasn't like it was a big explosion somewhere that shook everybody's house or they would have put it in there. So I said, well, I'm going to go back to sleep. I'm going to find out what it is the next morning. The next morning, I go outside and all the grass on the outside is patted down, flat. On the side of the brick wall, there is something you had hit it and made a big circle

and all the dust and all the dirt was off of it in that section. And I'm like, what in the world? I'm 6'4 and whatever did that is 9 to 10 foot tall. Not 9 to 10 foot tall, but he hit 9 to 10 foot up on the wall. So I'm like, this doesn't make any sense. Something that's stood here, hit the house. I'm 6'4 with long arms and I can't come close to touch and where it had to hit. So I go back inside.

and I think either right before I went out there, I pulled my iPad out, just kind of wondering, I said, let me put in Bigfoot in the town closest to us. And then something popped up. The story came across that did not show the location, but the story was talking about where a person saw a big, foot and I could tell by what they were describing the roads and the stuff around it, that had to be close to us.

It had to be really close to us. So I'm sitting there going, there must be the possibility there's a Bigfoot in this area. So let me call this Bigfoot expert that I know that's in North Georgia. Now, honestly, I don't believe anybody is a big foot. expert, true expert, because nobody really knows exactly what they are. But if there is one, he would be the closest to it. Then I called him because I wanted to find out the person that wrote that report because it was a BFRN, BFRO report.

I wanted to talk to them and see if I could find the location. That was my goal of calling him. Well, when I get him on the phone, then I realized he was in the BFRO. And when I tell him the person's name, he said, no, we don't know where that person is. And so you really, you know, that really wouldn't help. But can I ask you some questions? I said, yes, sure. He said, okay, tell me a little bit.

So I was telling him about some of the things I'd seen and that made no sense. And then he said, okay, he said, do you have a lot of animals on the property? And then that's when I started telling them about a deer. It should be a deer haven. There wasn't that many deer, so I had to start putting food out for them and deer, you know, feeders with supplemental food and all kind of fed the birds and everything else. He goes, oh, Casey, you put food out for the animal.

Yes, I put food out for the animal. He goes, what do you hunt? I said, no, I don't hunt. I used to hunt as a kid, but I don't hunt anymore because my dad always said, if you're going to shoot something, you better do it to get something to eat. And my wife would never eat a deer or another animal like that, much less cook it. So I'm not going to just go and shoot something to kill it. I'm just not going to do it.

I love to watch deer and other animals. So, no, we don't hunt. And then he said, do you have any fruit trees? I said, yeah, I planted a bunch of fruit trees. And I told him about all the ones I planted and stuff. And he goes, what do you ever have any of your fruit missing? And I said, well, when I planned on, they were just real young. The only one that's made something is the peaches, but it's really weird because I have dating around it and on the ground, and fabric on the ground.

Work can always wait. And 99% of people over 50 already have the virus that causes shingles. Not everyone at risk will develop it, but I did.

The painful, blistering rash disrupted my life for weeks. Don't learn about your shingles risk the hard way. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today. Sponsored by GSK. Agents who are realtors do more than open doors. They have the ethical expertise, market data, and tools to bring you home. So when looking for a home, look for the R and work with a member of the National Association of Realtors. They're right by you.

And every time for two years, we've had some peaches on it. And during the week, when they're getting ripe, I'll tell the family, hey, the peaches are getting ripe. So this weekend, we're going to go pick some and make the peach collar. Come Saturday, every peach is gone. No seeds, none on the ground. And some of these were eight to ten foot tall. And plus we have an inning around, which was away from it, cried away. and six foot high.

And nobody where where the house is, you can't see us from the road. We sit way back in the woods. So he said, okay. He said, do you have any other fruit go missing? I said, yeah, our figs. I like to make fig preserves. I said, there'll be a bunch of figs getting ripe and I'll go out there and they'll all be going except for one or two that's half ripe.

I said, our persimmon trees would make persimmons right off. so they must have the way they did the plants. I said, and they go missing, and the deer aren't getting them because the deer can't get to them because of the deer nating around it. He said, okay. He said, so you feed the animals, you've had this stuff happened,

you've got fruit going missing, you've got fruit teas, you're feeding animals, you're not done them. He said, I got a good idea of what's going on. I said, okay, well, what's going on? he said, you know what's going on. That's why you called me. You have a big foot.

I said, I've got a big foot. And he said, yeah, you have a big foot. I said, well, what, well, what are they trying to say? What are they trying to do? He said, they're letting you know they are there and want to cohabitate and live with you, coexist with you there where you're out. Now, that blew my mind. I'm like, you know, I've liked to watch the stuff,

but I really didn't know anything about Bigfoot at the time. And I was like, really? I said, how do you know that? He said, okay, let me ask you some more questions. I said, okay. He said, on your road, do you find trees pushed down across it a lot? I said, we've never had a tree pushed down across the road. He said, okay.

He said, have you ever had anything run by your house in the middle of the night hitting it two or three times? No, we've never had that happen. Have you ever heard growls from the woods around your house when you're outside at night? No, we've never heard growls outside. Have you ever heard rocks or sticks or something being thrown on your roof at your house or on the barn nearby? No, never heard it. He said, if they didn't want you there, that's what they would be doing. He said, they're just letting you know that they're there.

They evidently have been watching you and see that you're friendly to the animals, you're nice people because of all the stuff that you're doing. And so they want to coexist with you. Well, that kind of blew my mind. I'm like, okay. And then we kind of ended the conversation. and I'm like, all right, so I'm type of a person that goes by the motto, trust, but verify. I trusted what he said, but I wanted to verify what he said.

So after a little bit of thinking, I was like, this was after a while, after a few weeks, I was like, what can I do to try to find out there really here? So what I decided to do is that one big trail that they had walked on and smushed everything down, I was going to go put two headless nails in a tree and stick red apples on it. I'll just stick them up as high as I could and find a tree that really didn't have any limbs on it for other things to get to it. So what at the end is I stuck a red delicious apple on each other nails. Then I raked off underneath it. Now, the leaves and all were so thick that it didn't get to the dirt,

but it got to the soft wet leaves underneath it, which compressed easy. So I go down there, the next time I go down there, and I believe it was the next day, but it could have been two days later, the apples are gone. That's good. I looked and there it was. In the leaves, there was an impression of one that of a human-like foot,

16 to 16-a-half inches long, and I have my answer. So we do how Bigfoot. Bigfoot is here. So at the time, I thought that Bigfoot, like most people think, because it's just a normal everyday animal. So I decided, okay, well, I'm going to try to, this is unique. I'm going to try to find out how we can communicate and learn about them because nobody really does. And if I can earn their trust and let them know that I'm willing, maybe I can learn more about them and everything to find out, you know, all about them,

find out as much as I can. So I kept putting apples out there, and they kept disappearing. And so I was trying to think, I need to interact with me. So down there near where I was putting the apples out, I had a stump feeder. Now, the stump feeder was level, and on the top, it had the reins, and I said, I'm going to gift them some blue marbles. I saw a show one time where they were talking about them liking blue marbles. So I'm going to put some blue marbles up there to give them as a gill.

And it's within probably 15, 20 yards of where I'm putting the apples. So I put the blue marbles up there. That was on a Sunday, and I think the next Saturday, when I went down there, the marbles were gone. I'm like, this is great. They're not on the ground. They're all gone. So I went and told my wife, she wanted to see it. So we drive down there.

Sure enough, they're gone. Now, to go down there, it makes a big you by just kind of the way the stream is and everything. My wife does all the mow and thank goodness. I got her a real nice zero turn so she can do the mowing. It relaxes her. She loves to mow. So we're going around that you and quit, we get to start going up on the northernmost side, there is a huge river rock on the left-hand

side of the trail. This thing's got a weigh of 100 pounds. And there's another one that weighs about 60 to 80 pounds on the right side of the trail, right next to it. My wife stops and looks at them and she goes, where did these come from? I said, I have no idea where those came from. You know, they're huge. She goes, they weren't there when I was mowing.

And if you can imagine, you know, they're not just going to jump out of the stream when it's got 10 to 12 foot banks, but here they are. At the time, I was not thinking that these could be a yield back to us for the Blue Marbles. Because everything I've seen, it was like they weave twigs together.

It's a feather. It's flowers. You know, it's something like that. Nobody never said they were going to leave you a boulder as a gift. So we go to my mom's house, stay there on the way back. My wife's asleep and my little brain's just going crazy. I said, wait a second. That might be a gift because the marbles are hard like a rock.

They're just pretty colored. And so they may have given us those rocks as a gift back. So we get home late Sunday night. I go to work Monday morning, but this is eating at me. I'm going to find out. I'm going to go look at them again and find out. So instead of going to you,

I cut right through the middle so I could get there quicker because I was already going to be late to work. As I drive around where they were, they're gone. Those big river rocks were gold. They were there. I'm like, what the heck is going on? So I go up the trail, on up the trail and by the peach tree that they liked the most where she had recently mowed and was level,

they're the big one was sitting right there by that piece tree. I said, that's crazy. That thing is 50 yards, 50 to 60 yards up the trail right by that piece tree where she just moan. And I was like, I wonder where the other one is. So went all the way around you, and we have made a. The parking area for the kids had to bring in a ton of dirt to make it because it was really steep going down to the creek. It was several hundred loads of dirt. We had to do it to make a pad that they could park.

So it was eight foot from the top of the pad to where the trail was beside it. So there was like an eight foot drop. And there was the other one, the other rock beside the trail over there. And another rock just like it on the other side of the trail. I'm like, holy cow, they moved these to make sure that we saw them and knew it was a gift because they wanted to make sure we accept their gift back. So we did. We took the gifts.

We put them by the steps on our porch so that they knew that we had accepted their gifts. And I think that was a big thing that happened to lead into everything else. But another thing that they did at that time is when I was putting apples on the tree, I started thinking, you know, something's got 16 inch foot and it's wider than ours. I've got a huge foot. Mine's 13.5 foot long, 5.5 inches wide. And this one makes mine look like a baby print because it's a little width on it. I said, they probably want more apples.

And I'm thinking to myself, I was looking around, where can you? I put some more. I could not find anywhere to put some more. So when I go back the next time, I look and on the other side of a fence, it's right there. There is a vine that goes up vertically. Then he goes horizontal for about a foot. Then it goes up vertically into a tree. Whereas horizontal, there are four sticks poked in the ground from different angles and look like a tee-pe. and the way the TP makes a cup on top of it. So I said, and what was weird is that they all were at the same height.

They were broken off the same height, not pointed, just snapped off even. And I'm like, I could put one here. And when I put an apple in it, it hit it like three quarters of the way. And I said, oh, that's good. I'm going to see how smart they are because they're going to have a hard time finding this one. So I go back the next day, the apples go. I was impressed. I'm like, man, they're smarter than I thought

they were. They found a two and they found this one also. And then I looked around and to the left, right, next to the fence, there is another one just like it. And I said, whoa, wait a second. I know that one wasn't there. So I started looking at it. And I realized it had been made. when I pulled it out of ground, the sticks were three to four inches deep and they were sharp into the ground,

but they all broke off even on top and they would snap doll even, they wasn't pointed on all of them. Each one had four sticks, but they were angled onto something that would hold it up to make a cup on top to put an apple. I was amazed.

I'd be honest with you, though, at first I was a little insulted. because here I am trying to test if they can find this apple. They not only find it, but they're the ones that made the holder. I put it right where they wanted me to, so I felt like, I lost that match. They're smart of the meal that time because I did exactly what they wanted me to do. But it was amazing that they made that. So then I decided to take it a step further.

let's see if we can start interacting and communicating with them. You know, we gifted them the blue marbles, but we didn't really interact with them. They just took them and did with them whatever they wanted to do, probably little ones playing games with it like our little kids would do.

So I took a clear pie plate, put some extremely wide aquarium sand in it, and then took eight blue marbles, and made a smiley face and put it on that stump feeder, so again, it's level. And I said, let's see if we can somehow start using figures to communicate. You go down there the next time. All the marmings are pulled to the bottom of the plate.

Now, it hadn't rained. It looked like I saw a fingertilt print on one, but you're not sure. The others couldn't see fingertip prints. We made a smiley face again. go back the next time, they're at the bottom of the plate again. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. It may just be the world's greatest eraser.

Go back the next time, they're at the bottom of the plate. I think we did it four times. We made a smiley face and pulled it to the ball of the plate. And I'm like, you know, this isn't getting anywhere. I don't know what's doing this. I don't know what's happening.

but I'm done playing this game. But we left it down there. We go back down probably two weeks later, or maybe not that much, maybe one week. Guess what? We had left them at the bottom of the plate, and now there was a smiley face. They were playing a game with me

and pulling them to the bottom of the plate, and we were doing it back, And then when we quit, they made a smiley thing because now they want to start interacting with us. They want to play and interact with us. I thought that was really neat. So what we did was I decided we would start doing something different. We made different shades and see what they would do with it. And one of the ones that really amazed me, because I took it.

a square. I had three blue marbles on top. There were two dark blue ones on the top left and top right. The one in the middle was a lighter blue, three down on the bottom row, and then in the middle, in between the rows on each side, one. So there were six marbles. I went down there the next time they had made that square into a smiley face. But you know, they don't think the way we do. They didn't do it how we would do it. Most people, including myself, you're going to take and pick them up and make a smile face. They took the one in the middle top that was a lighter blue, slid it down to make a nose. They took the two on each side and slid them out. They took the middle one in the bottom and slid it down a little bit. In four moves, they took a square,

made it a smiley face. How crazy is that? And I will tell you a story also about something that happened a little later on because it also had to do with the pipe plate. So one night, I was going to the bathroom and the bathroom is right next to the porch. And if I hear the dog's barking, I will open the door to see if I can hear howls or tree knocks or what's going on. You know, sometimes you're going to hear coyotes, owls, different things. and the dog started barking at the edge of the woods, and they were following it, and I can tell they were following it, and it was coming right towards to the right of the back porch

as a stump feeder up in the corner, and deer were of their line. So in my mind, I'm thinking that there's something going down that road, and they're following it up of that road because they would sound the same as if it was coming to the deck. all of a sudden, the door is up. On the back deck, something goes, well, I was like, what in the world? It was like, that's a rock that hit the back porch.

That's closed the door. That's too close. I don't know. I knew what did it. Honestly, I knew what I did it. But that's just too close. It was the whole bathroom shook and the back porch shook. Then the next day, I called somebody in North Georgia.

that also knows a lot about Bigfoot, told him what happened. I said, it doesn't make sense. Something hid the back porch. I know by the sound, it was a rock. I said, but it wasn't thrown. I know Bigfoot throws him, but this did not have a skip or a bounce on the back porch.

This was a rock slamming it. When I went out and looked the next morning, you could see where the rock slammed it and some of the sand that came off the rock where it hit. but there was no rock there. So I explained to him what happened, and he goes, he goes, yeah, he goes, probably what happened was there was one going hunting solo, and he has a throwing rock.

Usually when they go out to hunt by themselves, they'll take a throwing rock, so they can hit a raccoon in a tree, or they can hit something on the ground that's quicker than them to stun it and go grab it. So it probably hit it with a throwing rock and took it with them. I said, oh, okay, well, that makes sense. So I'm just thinking about why would they do that? Why would they hit the back porch line to get my attention to my mind. In my mind, I was thinking it was an adult.

I was thinking that this is an adult. They hit it. The next time we go down to the marble plate, you wouldn't believe it. They made a picture of the house. I went back to where they stood to hit it, and it looks exactly the same as the picture they made with the blue marbles, to let me know that they hit the house,

and then nearby probably four or five foot from it, they left the throwing rock, which was really neat in itself, because it actually looks like you can see their fingerprints in this rock, which was crazy. But they left that as a gill. But so the only thing I could think of is I had the door open, they saw the light, could smell me in there,

and they knew my smell because I'd go and handle all the apples and stuff, and they wanted to come say hi to me and, you know, it's a weird way to do it, but maybe that was just the way they wanted to do it. But then they go and they make a picture to let me know what they'm and then leave me a gilk with the throwing rock. I thought that was really crazy. So they did use that to interact with us and to communicate with us in ways. Now, at this time again, I'm still thinking this is just a normal forest animal. So I decided that I would go ahead and make a speeding station for them.

I would put four by fours in the ground, put a brief on it, put a deck on it, and I put stuff out for them to eat because I would. At the time, I was like, let me see how they eat things, how they do things. My whole premise of doing this was to learn about them, you know, and knowing what I know now, I would never have done that. Now, we've not had anything negative happened from, from, you know, putting food out for them, but some people have. Now, we don't put it out all the time, but they do let us know whenever it's out. They don't hit the house. They don't yell or scream. They don't do anything crazy.

But we got like a tripod deer feeder that's black and that we don't put things in anymore because it kept getting started. popped up real easy. But when it was out, they would tip it over. And it would be right by our driveway. So they were letting me know that there's no food down there. And that's the way they would let me know. Or a few times they would take the bird feeders. I made the bird feeders with metal pipes with blocks on the bottom of it.

And then would push the bird feeder over. And a couple of times, a couple of bird feeders, dumpro, but that's no big deal. I just standing back up, but I got messy. I knew what they were saying. You know, hey, there's no food down here. Can you give us some more food? But that was pretty neat.

But what I started, I started learning all kinds of things from them. Number one, I would put a whole box of peanut butter crackers out. They would take the peanut butter crackers. Now, these were the Lance peanut butter crackers. and in the top it's got like a little hole so you can see them down and there. Now, the way people eat them is we opened up the ends off of them and pull it out the end. They don't do it that way. They stick their hand in that little hole and rip it to the side and pull it out the side.

Not only that, but their hands and fingers are so strong, they pull it from the middle sides and it just splits open. Where we would take it from the ends and tear it. They would just pull it from the sides and it rip open. I said, that's crazy. Then on jars of peanut butter, they would take jars of peanut butter, take the lid off, throw it down. They would take the label all because the labels got bright colors on it. And then they would take the jar and all and the jar would de go, just disappear. No idea where it's going.

You know, in the beginning, I saw that there some raccoons were getting up there. And, you know, raccoons are real ambidextros with their fingers, with their pallos, they can use of black hands. And I didn't want to misidentify anything. So I put it still around the legs and then a top on it that they can't climb over just to eliminate the raccoon. They want any trees far enough away that could jump on top of it. So I was just trying to eliminate possibilities. It's just the kind of things that I do because I want to know what's doing it. But it was the peanut butter being the color it is, they can carry it in the woods,

and it's the color that caused a problem. But if somebody sees the bright labels on it or the blue top or the red top, then it draws attention. So they were taking it off. But one of the other things I felt was I put out a bunch of peanut butter jars, and the jars would always go missing at the beginning. The only place I found any in the woods, and I don't go in every area,

there's some areas where I know that they stay. I leave it to them. That's part of that building the trust with them. I want them to trust me, and we want to trust each other. So that's part of the building the trust. and I have found a couple of them in the woods where a trail would go down to the stream,

but they were on top of the bank, which was eight to 12 foot tall. So they're using them as drinking cups, I believe, because the only ones I found have been on the trails going down to the creek. How smart is that? They're not only eating all the peanut butter, but then after they eat it, they're dipping it in the creek and drinking,

out of them like we would have come. But one time there was a little one that evidently didn't know how to eat the peanut butter out. Now the dick was four foot off the ground. So you had to be a small one to be able to sit underneath it. I found a peanut butter jar underneath it where one was sitting was ripped down like a banana. There's no teeth marks on it. There's no claw marks on it.

It has not been done with cincers. It has not been done with pliers. But it was ripped down like crazy so they can get the peanut butter out of the bottom of it. So evidently they hadn't taught that one how to eat the peanut butter all the way out. I'll find out that the big was older ones like the peanut butter the most because of the high protein in it. but when I'm going to expedition or go with other people, I take an empty peanut butter jar. No one yet has been able to rip it down even a watch,

and this thing is just ripped down like crazy. So also I put in big cubs, like you put wrapping paper in, the big, long, clear tubs, it's got little grooves around the bottom. and I would put dog food in it. And I learned earlier they liked dog food. And I'll tell you that story right now. They had a 35-pound bag of dog food on the back porch. And the dogs don't eat that much dry food because they're spoiled.

They get a lot of pepperoni's and all the good stuff. And they quit eating all the dry food, so it takes them a while to get to it. So it was on the back porch. We had security cameras on our back porch in our driveway. And all of a sudden, it had been out there a couple of weeks. All of a sudden, I go out there on a Sunday and the bag is gone. The 35-pound bag of dog food gone. I'm like, what the heck?

So I'd go to look at the cameras. The cameras went dead Friday night. The batteries went dead on it. Now, within 48 hours, probably 24, to be honest with you, but within 48 hours of those cameras going dead, they went and took that dog food, it was chicken-flavored dog food, off the back porch to eat it. You know what? Their guilt back in return for it was going into the trail where I'd put apples and over by the pump. And on our trail, they left some monster poops. They would lead me some real-life fertilizer to replace the dog food.

I thought that was crazy. And no, I did not get them for DNA. No, I did not touch it. I did not accept that guilt. I was like, uh-uh, nope, not going to do it. But I can tell you that the first one I saw was about a foot long or a little longer. And if you take a Pringle's can in about three quarters of the dimension, that's how big around it was.

Your toilet would be stopped up for two or three days with that. I mean, it was huge. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. It may just be the world's greatest eraser.

Sponsored by GSK. I had a guy that would help at the pun because a pump would get stopped up sometimes from the creek when a lot of rain came through. And he called me one day. And he goes, hey, have you got any like real big dogs out here on the property or something? Over here by the pump, there's some two or three sheds. Huge poops, biggest I've ever seen in my life. He said, no, we don't have any dogs out there.

He said, well, on the way back, there was one left in the middle of the trail that was still steaming. Just shook my head and said, no, I think I know what's doing it. But at that time, he didn't know about them. He does now because he's seen enough. But they were leaving us poop for dog food. But anyway, so I learned they liked dog food. I also, so anyway, I would put the dog food in this huge plastic container that you put Christmas wrapping paper in.

I put a, what is it, I think a 14-pound bag of dog food in it. And what I found was the little crumbs in the bottom edges, they leave their fingers and eat it like we would potato chips. You know how potato chips, those last little little. crumb to the saltiest and best taste and we lick our fingers and pick them up and eat them. Well, they eat the crumbs out of it that way also because I still find a little finger trill pill, little fingertilt prints around the edges when it was almost gold. I even found one time now he had this, the base of this and level because the guy that does

the plump made it and he's a perfectionist. He makes sure everything is exactly level. that had been tipped. So all the crumbs went into one corner and evidently it had leaked all four fingers and going into corner because you can see in the corner where there were four fingers in the corner, in the crumbs,

where they were licking it off off of it. And I thought that was pretty neat because they're doing something like we would do. But anything that was in a wrapper, they would always pull it from the side and rip it open. They would never do it from the end. There was a lot of things they would do different.

Oh, apple sauce. Apple sauce, they would take apple sauce, stick a hole in it, and I don't know if they would lick it out or take their finger and leave their finger and get it out. But they loved apple sauce, but I don't know how it was cleaned out every time, as if you had not only ate it all, but washed it out clean. That's how clean it was. so they would do that too. And I can tell you also,

they let us know from certain occasions what flavor they like. So one Christmas, they had changed it. Let me go back just a little bit. When we first got there, there were four of them. There was an adult male,

an adult female, a juvenile, and a young one. Now, the reason I know that, as they got, but when we built the trust with them, they quit hiding their footprints. So I can tell you the dimensions of their footprints. The juvenile was weird because the juvenile only had four tones, but it was real narrow.

It was like nine and a half inches. The adult male was 19.5 inches and 10.5 inches wide. the adult female at the time was like 13.5 inches, 8 inches wide. Now it's 14.5, 8 and a half inches wide. And the little one was about 6.5 inches long and about 3 inches wide, 3 to 4 inches wide. So there were 4. All of a sudden, they started marking their trails again. They liked to mark their trails with things that are white colored because they can see them

better at night, and it made no sense to me. Why are they marking their trails? They found some white PVC pipe from somewhere, and they were 10 foot long. They put them on the ground. One was pointing at the gifting station where we put the food, and another one was pointing at the big trail where you go where I put the apples at. Then on other trails, I saw where they had the big PVC pipe. then I saw one that was actually leaning up in a bush. Now this was about four foot long, but it was pointing up in there, so I went and I looked, and they were marking danger.

There was a hornet's nest just inside the woods in a tree that it was torn at. So not only were they marking trails, but they were marked in danger. Now, I forgot to say it, but we had had a couple people come there. They actually found out that when they hit our house, house that they actually broke the bricks from the top of my wife's window all the way to the reed just cracked all the way up the hit was so hard they found footprints tree brags things tied together trees tied together all kinds of stuff so they found a lot of stuff like

that but anyway they were marking it all of some and I start seeing the male, by the way, comes and goes. He's not here all the time. The male will be here two to three weeks when the adult female has a baby to take care of getting food and protect them all while she's taking care of the baby for two to three weeks. The mature females here all the time, and then the young ones were there all the time. But I started seeing the mature female, and I started seeing two to three juveniles. and two babies and a young one or so. And I'm like, wait a second.

Well, what's going on here? Then I called my buddy that I talk to a lot all the time, and he said, yeah, you now have a nursery. And I said, what? He said, they have made your place a nursery. It's a safe zone for them. There's plenty of food. They trust you. They respect you.

So they have made your location a nursery where the big mom, the mature mom, takes care of them and has the juveniles as helpers to take care of the babies. I said, that's crazy. All of a sudden, I started hearing blue jays on the property like crazy. Now, the blue jays, I grew up, where I grew up, there were blue jays. But we had never had blue jays here. We had had blue bird, but not blue jays. I'm hearing blue jays everywhere. And I want to let you know that every time I walk out of the house,

I've got blue jays sounding off that when I've got windows open on the inside, you can't hear any blue jays until I walk out. Or I got crows sounding off when I walk out. Now, the crows don't fly off like they normally would when they're scared. It's like they're watching me. It's like their lookout. And they let them all know when I come out of the house, which is really kind of need too.

They have their own lookout system. But when they made it a nursery, going into the winter, I wanted to put some extra protein out there because I realized that they're eating habits changed to more protein heavy stuff than sweet stuff. Because I would put honey graham crackers out. I would put nutter butters out, you know, all kind of different stuff.

And, oh, one container was always had two or three types of different cereal. in it. So I had another plastic bin and I put dog food in it and I had tried salmon because they really love fish. They go in and out of clund all the time.

And so I'm like, I tried salmon one time and they really like the salmline. So I started putting salmon flavor dog food in the first two bins and then the cereal and the other one than the other stuff. And again, we didn't do that all the time.

didn't have food down there all the time. So just to let you know, well, I couldn't afford that even if I wanted to. I can barely afford doing what we were doing to learn from them. But anyway, so I was putting two bags of salmon. Well, I'd go to Walmart one day, and Walmart's got one bag of chicken and one bag of salmon, so they don't have two bags of salmon. So I'd do, pick a sell them in the chicken, put them in the first two containers, and then put the stuff out. The next morning, now, when I would go put stuff out for them, I would drive the side by side into the barn, and there's a trash can outside of it, and I would put all the trash in it. And the trash can was empty when I put it in it.

It's one of those huge trash cans you put by the road. I'm as tall and long as that long as I am, I can't reach to the bottom. bottle. And the bags that I put in there were in the bottom. I go out to my car. I start to get in my car. And right where I stale to get into my car is the salmon flavor dog food bag. Yeah, that's right. It's right where I stale. So I said, wait a second. There's sending me a message. They won't salmon. They don't want chicken. They want salmon. But I had to verify that.

So I go get the side of the side and run down there. And sure enough, the salmon was eight almost down to the bottom and they hadn't hardly touched the chicken. They were letting me know that they wanted salmon flavored dog food and not chicken. They found ways to let me know what they want. Isn't that neat? I mean, isn't that crazy how they. find ways to let you know stuff like that.

So we've had so many interactions with them, and there were learning curves that had to go on both sides. One of the learning curves was we had to find out what they didn't want us to do. We had to let them know what we didn't want them to do, which was basically looking in our windows, hitting our house, killing our dogs or being bad to our dog. We actually, one night we heard coming home real late at night from work, we heard a dog sounded like he was attacking something on the other side of the creek,

and then it got grabbed. We always have our windows open when we drive onto the property so we can see deer, and it's got water in the middle of the field, and we can hear all the frogs and stuff, so we like hearing it. We get down there, and something has this dog. and it is the most horrifying thing I've ever heard. It was being ripped apart, made an example out of, and my wife drove off the driveway,

honed the horn, yelled out the window, stop that. Immediately, the sound stopped. There was not another single sound. It evidently, when she said that broke its neck, but it was literally ripping that dog apart. So what happened was we think that the dog, it was a wild dog, was attacking one of the young ones or one of the babies. And one of the adults or juveniles grabbed the dog.

It was making an example out of it. But we went and checked on our dogs because it scared us to death. We're like, oh my gosh, you know, we don't want them to do this with our dog. So I went down there and I had learned that if I said, say stuff out loud, and sometimes even in my head, they understood what I was saying. And I think that's why they made the place to put an apple, because in my head I was saying, and I wish I had another place to put an apple. I'm sure they did too, so they made the apple holders.

But then again, I tell people, I said, you know, they could have been just seeing me look around and figured that out. but there's so many other things that have happened that I know they can understand what we're saying and they understand what I'm thinking. They understand my fault. And I could go over example, example of that because I actually did test on it.

And nine out of nine, I would ask them to do something if they got the message and they would do it. This was in my mind. This is just in my thoughts. I would say something like, hey, I want to know if you can read my thoughts, thoughts, I'm putting this branch over here on this.

If you can read my thoughts, take the branch and put it on the ground. Well, they do things in their own way. And the thing I told them to put it on, I actually had made it in the beginning to get fingerprints. So I did it one time I was doing the fingerprints and they understood what I was doing. They never went in it again. I had a lid and I'll put food in it so I can get fingerprints off the top. I had polyurethane all over it. but to make a long story short,

they pick the stick up and put a feather underneath it instead of taking it and putting it on the ground to let me know they got the message. Or I would say something like I give them a message and say, hey, I'm down here and I'm about ready to leave. If you can understand what I'm thinking, give me a tree knock. All of a sudden there'll be a tree knock. Or there would be a, I would say, give me a tree knock.

sign, give me some kind of localization that do a Yahoo or a MOOC or something. So it was nine out of nine on it, so I knew they could. And one thing that was really neat one time is my wife and I were down at the pond and the adult female love to go into the pun. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

And 99% of people over 50 already have the virus that causes shingles. Not everyone at risk will develop it, but I did. The painful, blistering rash disrupted my life for weeks.

Don't learn about your shingles risk the hard way. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today. Sponsored by GSK. Here this print is where she had stepped out of the plund and her wet feet had picked up all the leaves, but yet the ground is so hard that it did not leave an impression. And when you take a picture with a camera, it's flat, it's not 3D, I can see and know it's a big footprint.

Take a picture with a camera, and people say you're a fake or a forgery because this is nothing but bare dirt. Well, the camera doesn't take it in 3D. they're not looking at what I was looking at. Not only that, but I'd seen other prints leading to it. So that's one of the things. But all of a sudden, behind one of the hills

where the bulldover pushed up some dirt on that occasion, I heard a tree branch snap. And this was a big tree branch. This was about half as big around as big person's wrist would be. and I'll let you know by me being in the woods so much as a kid, I can tell you what is a natural tree break and what's not. And I'll kind of let you know how. Number one, if a branch breaks in a tree,

you will hear it falling through the limbs and then hitting the ground. When they break it, they hold on to it. Or once in a while, they'll throw it near you, if they're trying to get you to leave or something. Now, they're deadly accurate with a rock or branch. If they wanted to hit you, they could. But it never hits the ground. When they break it, it never hits the ground.

Not only that, but they don't take dead limbs and break them. They break live limbs or ones that have just come off to make a sharp, crisp snap. So you can tell if a big foot is, is doing a branch break compared to something natural. And people that say that you can't, they're wrong, you can. It's totally different. Anyway, the tree branch now.

So I just done telling my wife, I wish I would give us some better print so we can take better pictures. All of a sudden, after the tree branch bro, I said, well, I guess they got the message and we just kind of laughed. Now, this thing was only 25 to 30 yards away from. us, but we're not in fear of them. We trust them. They actually will have helped us in certain situations protecting us. And so we're not afraid of them at all. But I said, I guess it got the message. Now, in the middle of the week, one day when I take the trash cans out, I went down to

the gifting station, and there on the ground in this hard, hard, hard, packed clay is her print pressed down really hard to wear it indented into the ground and she took a blue marble that was under the gifting station and that's an whole other story in itself where one of the things I asked them to do if they got the message is to do something with a marble plate and at the gifting station it's got a little slit in between it into the plate and that and just dropped it down in that little slit in the the woods as if you were putting a coin in the slot machine. And all the blue marbles had sand all over it underneath it.

She had taken a blue marble down, I mean, out the ground, wiped it off and put it in the middle of her footprint as if to say, here's your print. So that's the kind of stuff that really was crazy. One time, the pond has water pumping out of it after the start. out of the stream into the pond. The electric box for it is in the open-sided bar. So one time he had to go work on it, and he wanted to turn the power off. But he called me and said, hey, there's thousands of bees.

There's thousands of bees and stuff lying around in here. I can't get to the power to shut it off. And if I can't shut it off, then I can't do anything. So I had him start describing what was. going on. He said, under the sawdust, their evidently was a torque. It's been pulled back and there's

a bowling ball size hole under there and they're coming out with Graham. And he described them to me. And in my head, the only thing I could think of was Yellow Jacket. That's the only thing I could think of. He got into a yellow jacket hole. So I said, go get some stuff and just

spray them and kill them. So he went and got several chance and killed. them. On the side of the pond, two days later, when we went back down there, there were two 40-foot trees pushed into the pond. And I knew that they had done it. There's nothing else to do that. We had tried to pull the trees with a four-wheeler and couldn't get it to do anything to them. And here they are both pushed into the pond. And one didn't hit the other one. They were pushed in separately or at the same time with really long arms. So I was like,

this doesn't make any sense. We had to do something wrong to upset them. What happened? So I go look. I remember inside the barn. So I'd go look in the barn in that bowling ball size hole, and there's another one back behind it, and the one back behind it had a part of a honeycomb.

And I said, there it is. I said, they knew that these honeybees had honey down here. They knew this tarp was here. They pulled this tarp back, and when I went back and looked at the picture, if you can actually see the fingers where it stressed the tarp, where they pulled it up,

they reached and grout the honeycomb and went to take it off to eat it. But we had killed their honey production. So they were upset at us because they would leave and go somewhere else to make honey probably out of like normally a stump or a tree hole or something like that. But they were madhouse because we killed their honey production. And, you know, some good honey sometimes really tastes good.

And so I'm sure it would upset somebody. I have to take the side-by-side full power and the four-wheel of full power for us just to drag those trees out of the pond. I mean, they were huge. Like I said, they were 40 but tall. So they were letting me know things not to do. And I would let them know things not to do. Just to let y'all know, I've seen four.

And I have a real high standard of seeing things. In other words, whenever I'm, for me to call it a siding, I've got to see a face. I've got to see hair or at the very middle, God, no, 100% is not any other animal. And if it doesn't meet that criteria, I don't call it a siding. I've got some that I have pictures of in trees looking at me or in the woods looking at me. Where I zoomed in on it and I can see a face peering at me and stuff like that.

I don't call that a siding. But I've had four that I'm 100% on that there is a siding. and then I've got three that were babies, or I think there are babies that I'm 90% old. I've got to be above 95% or 100% to know that it came anything else, and the babies move like a chimpanzee. So I don't call that a sighting, even though they have been playing with our dogs,

and I've got to finish that story because I started and never finished it. but it was playing with a couple of our dogs where our dog would chase it and then it would chase our dogs and I saw it running around in the backyard right at dust and I couldn't figure out I said what kind of animal's injured

to where it makes it run like that and then on the second time I saw it I realized that's not an animal that's whatever that is is moving like a chimpanzee so it was a baby chasing the dog getting stuff like that.

But I'd seen two chasing the dogs, and I'd seen one sliding down off of the gifting station. It would get up on the platform, and it slid down like a little kid would off of the platform, on to the ground, go on all fours, and go around it back on a trail where there's a huge vine that goes up into a really tall tree that they would go up into for safety. But let me get back to the dog story.

So the Bigfoot killed this dog. We went down after that and told them that if they killed our dogs or hurt our dogs, that is a trust breaker for us. They're part of our family. And we want you to never hurt them or anything, you know, never hurt them. All of a sudden, we had two dogs that were on the inside. they started every morning and every night going to the Gifton station. One of them was a pit bull, which we ended up having to put him outside, because when he started wanting to eat the furniture,

that guy would be a little too expensive to keep him in the house. So he ended up having to go to the pin outside. Now we just have the little Yorkie. What a pair of they were, a white bulldog and a little bit of Yorkie, and the Yorkie thought he was a boss. But the white pit bull will come back and have pit marks on it, dirty fingerprints on it. Then I would start finding peanut butter wrappers.

I'd see a big foot foot print going up to the fence, empty peanut butter wrappers, and then I'd see crumbs on the other sides where they were feeding the dog's peanut butter crackers. I'm like, how crazy is that? Then I started seeing the little one, the little Yorkie playing with the little babies, the babies. And I said that that's really neat because they have made a concerted effort to

befriend the dogs so that they can meet what we wanted them to do. There was one time that I had a took my mom to the doctor during the middle of the day and they watch you all the time. They pattern you. They're great at pattering you. But they're watching you all the time. And this was only two o'clock in the afternoon. We were coming back from the daughter. And as I'm going by the field, I saw something in the woods that I think the windows were still rolled down. But I saw something in the woods, got my own camera, turned it on camera, because there in the woods on the other side, about 65 yards away is a face. It's shiny, like as if somebody had armor all their dashboard. Now, it's a light hand.

and the hair around it's dark black. So it stood out like crazy, and I took a picture of it. Again, I did not call it out a siding. I can zoom it in and see it, but I did not call that a siding because I wasn't close enough to meet my criteria. But then a few months later, maybe two to three months later, I'm sitting in the living room,

and I started seeing little prints come into our window. we had a bay window, they were looking at the back window and started watching TV. And so I was sitting on the couch, had fallen asleep. It was about two in the morning. All of a sudden, I wake up. I look over there at the little Yorkie, and he's standing up on the arm staring at the window, not barking, not grazing cane, nothing just staring at the window. And I'm like, what are you staring at?

I looked over there in the window and in the front window that I can see, which is only about seven yards from me, is the face of the one that I saw in the woods looking in the window. Now, we had relatives come into the house in a few weeks, and some of were going to have to sleep in that room. I didn't want to freak them out. So I went outside and they had scrambled. they're super quick and they can move. I told them, I said, I don't go in your bedroom and look in the house.

I don't expect you to look in our windows. And then the next day, I saw why that one was in the front window because there was another one in the back window that had fresh prints going there, and that one was in the front window. But believe it or not, they never come, looked in the window again.

Never saw any more prints. So I would set the parameters on it. The things that bothered us, they would set parameters on things with us that we wouldn't do. I can tell you they do not want us to take casting a prints. They do not want us to take pictures of them. What else? Oh, I can hear them sometimes coming down trees or coming towards a gifting station when I'm putting stuff out because they really like certain things.

Everybody's got their own little things that they like a lot. And sometimes they would start coming before I'd even leave because they wanted to get some of the salty sweet granola bars or honey graham crackers or something that they really liked. And they wanted to get their first to get their fair share. They don't want me running in the woods to get a look at them. So I don't. I would hear them coming down, coming across, coming through the woods,

coming across the creek. They would stop just far enough away that I couldn't see them. I get done. I get in the side of the side and say, okay, I'm done.

By the time I hit my 50s, I'd learned a few things, like how family is precious. Work can always wait. And 99% of people over 50 already have the virus that causes shingles. Not everyone at risk will develop it, but I did. The painful, blistering rash disrupted my life for weeks. Don't learn about your shingles risk the hard way. Talk to your doctor or Pharmacist today. Sponsored by GSK. You can go ahead and come on and I would go in the house, you know, knowing that they were going to come, but I never would make a move at them. And one of the reasons why is I heard we had a mama with twins one time. And her friend was like 17 inches long. She was dropping them off. And the twins

were both like five inches long. They were twins, so they were the same. And I saw the twins prints everywhere. One day I heard the twins coming up, down the fence coming over to, but they were talking to each other. So I had snuck in the woods and tried to turn my phone on a video so I could record them talking to each other. As they got about 20 yards away,

one behind me snout did a tree knock so loud that it actually blocked the slip from doing the sound on the phone because it was so loud. They were letting me know, no, you know, don't try to see the little ones and stuff like that. Don't do it. So that's how I learned that they don't want that to happen. But the only reason I was doing at that time is because I'd never really heard them communicate back and forth. and I was really interested in how they were communicating and stuff back and forth.

They probably were talking about what they were going to take first and stuff like that, making deals or something. I don't know, but they were gabbing away. And that's not the first time we heard it. We did hear some adults in there one time that were talking back and forth in the woods. And it was very similar to the Sierra sounds. It really sounded like people.

but you know it wasn't people because you couldn't understand it. And one was a deeper voice and one was a, you could tell it was a higher-tone voice, probably a juvenile female, I would guess. So we would set parameters, and the parameters that we've said have really worked out great for us. When they, when I do something wrong, don't think you're too old to be put in time out.

because when I do something wrong, they start hiding their footprints again for one to two weeks. I have to apologize and tell them I won't do it again. And then after a week to two weeks, they'll start leaving their footprints again. And they know I love footprint. And they leave all kind of gifts. When they were looking in the window at the TV, we had a Arrowhead collection next to the TV. they left us a gift of a rock. It was a quartz rock,

but it had an inclusion in the middle that was kind of an orangist in color. It was really pretty. It almost reminded me of E.T. How it's heart glow because it just was beautiful in the middle of it. But I used to find them and study how they made them. It didn't look like it was made by an Indian as an arrowhead

because the weight wasn't even on each side and you didn't see any chips on the edge, but it was shaped like an arrowhead. But they left that beautiful rock on the banister right next to where they stood so we would get it as a gift. I cleaned it up and it's absolutely beautiful.

Not only that, but they know I like footprints. So they have taken rocks made a base on the bottom of it by rubbing it down, I guess, with their finger. I really don't know how they do it, to be honest with you. they got to be super strong in how mighty rough fingers to rub it down,

but it looks like that's how they made it. And on the top side of it, they rubbed it, but they made the outline of a footprint on the top. And when they made the base, they made it angled so that you can put it on your desk, sort of like a pitcher, but not up that high, and it leaning up so you can see it better. I thought that was need.

They've left rocks with lines in it, where they gave us different lines and shapes in it. They've done all kinds, given us all kinds of gifts. One time I asked them to give us a gift because it's been a while, I said, why don't you all leave us a gift? We're out there at the burn can burning some trash. About a month later, we're moving the burn cans to empty it because it was full. and right beside it, in between the bricks that we had, and the Burry Kemp, was a huge boulder that had never been there before.

And so they must have left it there for us knowing that we go there a lot, but we didn't see it right away. We took a lot of seeing it, but they left another huge rear morgue for us. So there's just so many things, so many interactions we've had with them, that it's crazy how much and how smart they really are. and don't let people tell you that they're just an animal. I've learned that they are much more, much closer to humans than animals. Now, do they have to kill animals to eat for food?

Yes, they have to survive. Do they eat raw fish? Yes, they have to. That's how they eat. Now, they eat meat and they eat green stuff. They eat both. They sort of like a person, a person can eat meat. and green stuff.

They do the same thing. But so a lot of people think that makes them an animal. Well, it does, but realistically, we eat meat. Somebody's chilling it and we're eating it. So does that make us any better than them? No, I mean, not really. It's just different. But they are very similar to people.

They have a family. They will protect. There's almost always. more than one nearby. I always say, I pity the person trying to go kill one. It is not bad,

especially if there's a mail around. You can forget it if there's a mail around because they're built to protect the family. They just are. I can tell you some stories with a big one where it was like Jurassic Park moments where the ground was shaking

and they were 70 yards away and pushing trees that were 40 to 50 foot talk because they wanted me to leave. And then I would go ahead and leave two weeks later. I'd find a baby print. And that's how I learned. The babies here are born in May to the last week of May to the first week in July for the most part.

Out of the 10 babies that we've seen over that period of time, eight of the 10 have been born between the last week of May and the first week of July. We have one that showed up in the winter, the first week of winter. Now, the baby prince, the smallest one I've ever seen is four inches long. I call a baby something from four inches to six and a half inches. I call it a young one four and a half to six and a half. and I call a juvenile six and a half to 12, and then anything over that I call an adult.

Now, that's just nice standard how I think of it. There may be people smarter than me that have their old standard, but I get to see so many prints. I had to make some kind of parameters for me to judge, okay, what is this? But I usually can take a real good, I get a real good feeling of what's here because they don't hide their prints. So it's, I can tell you one time, my wife and I are driving down by the peach tree.

And for some reason, the piece tree that they like the most, they left some peach pits on the fabric on the bottom. Before that, they had always taken the peach as pitting all. Now imagine the big ones, jaws are so strong, they can just crunch up the peach pit and everything. I don't know about the young ones, but these peach pits are down there. And so I told my wife, I said, look, there's like eight or ten peach pits down there. I think they've rolled us to plant some more of this type peaches for them because this is the one they like. I said, I need to look at the, well, the little, the kind of this, a little tag on it to see what kind of it. to see what kind it is so I know what kind I need to get.

But I didn't stop and take it off. The next time I'm going up the road, now as we're facing it, the peach trees on the right, the rear on the left, the wind blows from left to right. That tag, when we went the next time,

was in the middle of the road, sitting on a tub of grass so we can see it. and have been ripped off. Now I'm like, wait a second. We were just talking about it and we didn't get it. Now, here it is, ripped off and put on this little high piece of grass right in the middle of where we're driving so we can see it.

I went to all the other trees so the tag were still all. And if the wind was blowing it, the wind would have blown it in the other direction. I'm like, isn't that crazy? They were letting us know that they want some more of these piece trees. So they ripped the tag off and put it in the trail for us so we would remember to get it next time. Just crazy. Neil, it's absolutely wild this place you have. And I totally get why you're just saying it's in northern Georgia because you really have, I mean, you have a nursery going on.

That's a very special thing for sure. Have you ever tried to capture any audio on your property? or does that also fall under how you're not really able to take video and other things like that? Audio is okay as long as it's far enough away from them. Now, I got in trouble one time because the boxes that I told you I put stuff in, one time I wanted to try to hear them talking. So what I did was I took one of those boxes, put a record, quarter in it and took the little black microphone, the end of it overlaught the end of the box.

And I put the little microphone underneath it where you couldn't see it. The next thing I do is I hear one walking out of the woods. I hear the microphone being pulled and it was set on the marble plate, on the white sand, as if to say, you're busted, we don't want you to do this. Now, because there's even more of that story that's kind of humorous, they wouldn't eat any food there for two weeks, but when I went back there a couple of days, oh, and all night I could hear footsteps at the edge of the woods

because they wanted to go get something to eat. And I think one of the adults said, they're playing games, don't go eat the food. But at the time, I was only using two of the plastic buckets. And one of them was on the ground, I didn't pick it up because I was wanting to. going to need it. And so when I went back one time, all the food was still there except the dog food was gone. The whole dog food bowl was empty. So I'm driving around it and the empty one on the ground

is gone. So I look at the empty one on the ground and I'm looking around for it and there in the woods behind some vines is the one that had the dog food with about an inch left in it. A juvenile probably was being a little smart bud and said, I'm hungry. I'm going to stick this empty one up there, and I'm going to take this in there and eat it because we're not eating it at the thing where they're playing games at. They actually took it in the woods, but I had to apologize and told them I wouldn't do that anymore

for them to start leaving their friends and eating the stuff again. So they were serious about it, but when I half bit away from them, I can hear them. Now, my biggest problem is, I'm just like a regular person. I have a job I have to go to to earn a living long hours, and I'm not good at taking the little disk that have 24 to 48 hours worth of recordings on it.

Now, I've heard, though, how, how I've heard tree knocks like crazy. Of course, I hear tree knocks like crazy. Well, not like crazy. I hear tree knocks all the time of lots anyway, especially if the light's going. off. If the lights go off at the house, I don't have four or five tree knots going off around the woods, as if they're saying, hey, is there anything we can do to help? You know, because it's different. It's the pattern that's always lights on. Our kids always leave lights on. So they do a bunch of

tree knocks, but they don't mind if it's far enough away. But usually when they start sounding off, our dogs start going off and it picks that up so much. I wish I had some made with the little round thing on it so I could just aim it at certain spots so it reduces that, but I've not been able to either find it or do it so far. Then trying to get to the, listen to the whole thing. I have to try to listen to the whole thing. Some people say you can go in audible and go through and find the little peaks and stuff. I've not learned how to do that.

I tried to put some discs in there, do one time, and I was totally unsuccessful at it. But they don't mind me putting her quarters down there. I've heard the whoops. I've heard them talking. I've heard the tree knocks. I've heard some amazing things they've done.

Some kind of ceremony was going on one time. It was crazy. But, no, they will allow me to do it. I just can't do it right next to where they are. I have to do it, you know, 50, 60 yards away. and do it. You can still hear in the woods. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

I got another question for you. I do want to say thank you for spending your time so far. As we talked about in the pre-interview, this is a conversation that will probably take.

already have the virus that causes shingles. Not everyone at risk will develop it, but I did. The painful, blistering rash disrupted my life for weeks. Don't learn about it. your shingles risk the hard way. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today. Sponsored by GSC. I've never heard singing on the property, but I can tell you they love music. They absolutely

love music. I would put a speaker on the backboard sometimes and play it, and they like, there's a group called Home Pre, which is an acapello group. They love the same. They love the sound to them. They'll come up at the edge of the woods and listen to that. And one time, late at night, we were, we don't care if they tap on the door to let us know that they're, the young ones like to do that sometimes. But my wife and I were in there. We were listening to, we were just being in a silly mood. We were cleaning the kids and know you're going to have something the next day with kids and relatives. So we were singing up, put all the music real loud and was playing it from the TV, I think probably on YouTube.

And every time of music, the song would stop, outside on the front, on the front porch, one would tap at the door like tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Like, play another one, play another one. Then another one would come on. When the polls, it would go tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Because they would sneak up to the house and hear, wanting to hear the music as good as they can. I actually had one, one time that during the middle of the night, I forgot I'd left the speaker on out there. iPad into the bathroom,

it was still on music, and it started playing it on the back porch through the speaker. So I was like, okay, well, I like that song, I don't listen to it. I listened to a couple of songs, and then I turned it over to a podcast about football.

Out there, right beside my car, right in front of my core, I have a big, huge trash can. One went, damn and slap the top of the trash tin. I learned real quick. They either don't like the football team that I like or they like wanting more music.

So I put it on more music to let them listen to it until either the battery went dead or my iPad, you know, went quiet. But I can tell you they love music. They will, he will draw them in, especially if it's a type that they like. It's extremely interesting. There's a song I've heard that is very effective. I think it's called Balero. It would be interesting if it'd be able to track that down,

maybe give that a try. It would be totally different than what they were used to, but it has quite interesting drumbeat to it that has been pretty effective over on the West Coast, from what I hear. I've got something I want to do because the house is two-story, and there's a window up above it. I was thinking about playing music on the back, putting some cut-off logs out there for seats at the edge of trees and getting up there with a thermal binocular.

I don't think that they can see that to get pictures of them coming up and sitting down listening to their music. The only problem of how it is I know they can read my thoughts. Now, I don't know if they can read everybody's thoughts. Some people say it's some frequency or whatnot. I'm nothing special, but I know they can read my fault. So the only reason why I don't do it is for the simple fact that not that I think that they will see the thermal monocular, but the fact that I think they'll read in my mind what I'm doing because they can read your consciousness and your subconsciousness of work. So that's the only reason why I don't do it because I would love to get a juvenile,

in a baby, one on all fours, quarter, and then the juveniles walking up with it and sitting on the log, listening to the music, sitting on the stop, listening to music. But it took so long to build up the trust and the respect. I'm afraid I'll lose some of that. You know, it's not a quick process. It's not.

You get both sides have to work at it for it to work the way it has so that's that's one thing that the only reason i hadn't done that yet because i would love to get a good thermal picture off them walking up and moving and sit and like that man neal what what a massive amount of things that have happened and it feels like like there's way more that you could share as well. I mean, I'd love it if you'd, you know, be able to, if you'd be up for coming on back on the show sometime in the future, maybe we can set something up. I don't have any problem with that. I've got probably over 30 hours' worth of interactions. Like, I've been spat off one after another after another after another,

because it happens all the time. There's something that happened this week would freak people out how it happened. But, you know, there's things that they have special abilities that we can't really understand. But they have to prove to me at least nine times that they can do it before I will say,

yes, they can do it. Like, yes, they can read my mind. I know for a fact. They can put thoughts in my mind. There's a lot of things that they can do between. I can feel when I'm down there, I can feel things. How do I put this and then I sound weird. I can feel how they're feeling.

Like in other words, one day I was down there and I put out some stuff at the gifting station and in the woods, something growled at me twice. Well, I knew what it was. I think it was one of them. But I got the feeling was I was taking too long because I was taking pictures of prints and measure them and it was hungry and wanted me to leave so easy to get to the food. And I had to just kind of set it straight and say, look, this is a deal. Y'all leave me prints so I can see and keep up with all of y'all with stuff that's going on.

And I leave you stuff to eat. It didn't make any more sales. and then I let it know when I was leaving. But it was not a thing where I was scared at all because I could feel why they did it. And I know that sounds weird, but I've trusted our feelings and my wife and I, and say she would go sometimes,

well, what are you feeling? I said, no, they're just letting us know that they're there right now. You know, there's been some things where things have happened between her and a little baby. And so anyway, it's just weird. I can get feelings like that. But it's not only here, it's at other places. And I go other places, they let me know they're there.

Trenog, a whoop, crazy stuff. Pinging me, which is a weird thing by itself. So it's just really weird. But it's amazing at the same time. And I'm learning from it. And just imagine if they're in the woods, people always talk about how you can't, how is something 10 foot tall and weighs over 1,000 pounds can't be seen in the woods. Well, from what I've learned in a short period of time about wildlife and how they communicate, crows, how they give things away, the squirrels, all the animals, and people think they're quite going through the woods. People are loud.

I mean, they make a lot of noise going into woods. So if they can tell what's going on around them, some people say that they can hear or fill the frequency of electronics. Some people say they can turn translucent or totally invisible. I know that they can read my thoughts. If they can do one of those things and know what's going on around it, you haven't got a chance to see it unless it's just pure. by accident or they won't you to. Because they can slip around you. They can go up in a tree if they can turn translucent.

And you can go right underneath them, look up in the tree, you'll never see them. It blend in with the leaves. So it's amazing the ability is their house. It really is. Neil, I know we've talked about the bigfoot talk. website, but what can people expect to find if they check that out? Or is there also a way they can reach out to you as well? We have a website that's got a lot of information about Bigfoot in it.

The patterns that you can see in the woods, because things they do are different than normal forest animal. What you can need to do? If you think you've got some around your house and you don't want them there, what you can do to try to keep them away from your house or things you can do if you want to try to to befriend them. And you're not going to befriend every group. You have to have, they have to have the right mentality. And I've learned that the male is the one that sets the rules. Now, the females have a lot of pull in it, but the males set the rules. And if the male has had a bad experience with

humans, chances are you're never going to really build a relationship or cohabitate with them anywhere like that we have here with this group. The female here really likes to be around us and she's been able to influence the male that he tolerates it. But whenever he's here and there's a baby boy, he doesn't want us around because he wants to make sure everything is safe and make it go as smooth and easy as possible. But we have the website that's got that on it, and we have a Facebook page that's also bigfoottalk.com, and it's got a lot of the stories that we talk,

we're talking about like this, with pictures, like the dog food bag that's right by my car, where they will like the salmon type. I've got a picture of my car where it's sitting and everything like that. I know, I did go back to the trash can and try to see if I could get the other one and get the other one and pull it out?

No, I couldn't even touch the other back because it was so far down there and I've got long arms, but their arms are extremely long. But we have the Facebook page so people can see the stories out. Now, also, if you're in the Atlanta area, Atlanta, Georgia area,

we are going to be putting on a conference. It's called Encounters Conference, 2025. 2025, where we are going to have a great group of people that are from a variety, but it's going to be concentrated on people that have seen them or done movies about them and researched them and myself with the gohabitation site. And we're going to try to do as much talking to people so we can share what we've seen with people. That's the whole idea for this conference because when I go to conferences sometime, I get upset. I've got three or four questions I want to ask it. I'd never get a chance to ask

them. So I feel like, you know, I didn't learn all that I wanted to learn. Well, this one is going to be done in such a way that we are sharing it and let you ask questions so that we can help you answer the questions that you want to know. So it would be, and on our website, on the Facebook page is also a flyer for it. And maybe we can put one on this episode or something so people can see it. But that's going to be a really good thing because it's going to be totally different than the others

think the most of people go to. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, I've actually been looking into this one myself, and you've got some. really it's not the normal people that you would see but they're good people like for example you know a good friend of mine amanda the bigfoot lady from the expedition bigfoot museum is going to be one of the speakers she's great i mean that's a great speaker to have for this first year of the conference and i'd say definitely people check it out we'll have links in the show notes so

people can all check that out but neil it has been just such a fact fascinating listen to you. I've learned a lot through this one. And yeah, we'll definitely be setting something up for you to come back on a later time to continue your accounts of what you've been experiencing down there in North Georgia. But thank you for coming on the show, Neil. You're welcome.

And I will answer anything because I'm not shy to answer anything because that's why we're doing this. We're doing this to help. tell people what we're seeing. You know, when people say, well, you need to do this, you need to do that, to give us proof, I'm not, I'm a knower of their existence.

I'm not trying to prove to people they exist. I'm trying to share what we've learned about them because we have a unique situation to where we can see stuff that in a period of a month that some people for 20 years may not see. So we're trying to share that with the people, that want to learn about them.

That's great. That's a great way to put it. Well, yeah, definitely listeners, check out this upcoming conference. And Neil, pleasure to talk to you on the show today, and we'll definitely be in touch. Sounds good, and I hope everybody has a great night.
