Bigfoot Society - Red Eyes on the Reservation, Screams in the Sawtooths

Episode Date: February 7, 2026

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, we explore a series of firsthand encounters that stretch across reservations, mountain ranges, highways, and deep forest corridors. Beginning on an Utah reservation, a witness reflects on childhood memories shaped by glowing red eyes in the trees and experiences that followed him into adulthood while patrolling the same land as a wildlife officer. Moving north into the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho, late-night vocalizations echo through campgrounds and timbered slopes, leaving lasting impressions on those who heard them.The journey continues through Kentucky back roads near Rochester Dam, British Columbia highways near the border, remote stretches of California’s Sierra Nevada, the dense interior of Algonquin Park in Ontario, and river bottoms along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Each account is grounded in place, shaped by terrain, isolation, and moments when the woods felt aware and responsive.🗣️ Share Your StoryHad a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?Send it to [e-mail] – your story might be featured on the show!🎥 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube🔴 Subscribe here → Bigfoot Society YouTube💬 Leave a comment & let us know your thoughts!📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → Speakpipe (Use multiple voicemails if needed)👥 Share this episode → Watch & Share🎧 More episodes → Podcast Playlist🌲 Recommended: New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters💥 Support the Show & Get Perks✅ Join the community on Supercast – Become a Member✅ Listen ad-free & early on YouTube – Join Here📱 Let’s ConnectInstagram: @bigfootsocietyTwitter: @bigfoot_societyTikTok: @bigfoot.society🧰 Tools & Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)These help support the show at no extra cost to you:Beam (Better Sleep): Try BeamWildgrain (Better Bread): Join HereSeed (Probiotics): Get SeedMedi-Share (Healthcare): Learn MoreLMNT (Electrolytes) Free Sample Pack with your first purchase! : Get LMNTOrganic and non-GMO groceries delivered for lesshttp://thrv.me/uarEhS🎙️ Podcasting Tools:Repurpose.io: Try ItDescript: Sign UpStreamyard: Start RecordingRiverside.fm: Try Riverside🎧 My Audio Interface: View on Amazon☕ Buy Me a Coffee – Support Here🛍️ Grab Some Merch – Shop on Etsy📬 Mailing Address:Bigfoot Society125 E 1st St. #233Earlham, IA 50072

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

Yeah, I've actually got a story. I actually sent you a message a while back, and you know, you replied, you know, asking me to share via email, you know, but obviously with, you know, life being busy and whatnot, I never really got to answer that email. And I've always wanted to. Oh, sure. but you know my my encounters I guess would start when I was a little boy and at the time you know I didn't really think of it as as an encounter but to give you a little backstory you know I was a from the UNORA reservation in Fort DeShay in Utah I don't know know if you know exactly where that's at but it's in the northeastern part of the Utah you know and it's a fairly big reservation and you know used to go out go hunting with my with my dad and

my uncles quite a bit and there's a southern part of the reservation called the hill creek area and one time you know me and my two two other brothers you know we were young. I can't remember or recall how old exactly we were. But, you know, I'm going to say anywhere between, you know, my young good brother who, he had to be around

five, six, you know, my oldest brother, maybe ten, and so we're, you know, I was somewhere around eight or so. But we were camping out one time when we were out hunting. And, you know, my dad uncles they told us to go out and gather some firewood and so we did and you know we

broke away we went along the tree lines and my oldest brother you know I remember he was on the you know off to the side of me and I remember he walked around this you know big tree and I remember just hearing him screaming you know and I seen him come running out behind that tree and so me and my other younger brother who was right next to me you know we both dropped our you know woods that we were gathered for firewood and we ran back to the truck and you know where my dad and my uncles were you know they asked my oldest brother what was going on what had happened and you know at the time he he

said that, you know, he was gathering up firewood and he looked inside this tree and he said that all he saw was his red eyes glowing at him and it started growling at him. And so, you know, after that, that night, I remember me and my brothers, you know, my dad and they made us sleep in the bed of the pickup truck all night while, you know, my dad and uncles, you know, they both took turns staying up throughout the night and, you know, that's, you know, that was the earliest when I look back at it you know that was the earliest memory of any kind of encounter when you know as you get older you start hearing stories and whatnot and so that was my first encounter now fast forward you know I

eventually moved away from the reservation and then moved back and you know became a fishing wildlife officer and so you know i used to patrol the same area which you know i i you know that that that memory would come back every time i'd go down in the area and uh you know i i i love that area you know that's i always used to tell my mom when i was younger said you know when i pass away i want to be cremated and that's where i want my ashes to be scattered in the area because you know that was my earliest childhood memories as being down with my dad and uncles you know going hunting and so one time when I was on the I would say on the eastern side of the reservation you know patrolling one time you know there was no one down there

at least no one that I came across at the time at the moment and I started hearing like wood knockings and you know I you know I remember thinking at the time that you know is is am I really hearing what I'm hearing you know you know I've heard stories and couldn't believe it was actually happening but you know I drove a little bit further down and you know there's a certain area where you know you can you know park along this ridge line and you can actually see the interstate you can see like a green river and one at nighttime anyways but you know I ended up driving along this other Ridge line called Mormon Ridge and I remember parking my

truck over there my patrol truck anyways and I had to have been sitting about 15 20 minutes just and I was looking off to the east of this ridge line you know watching a herd of elk and whatnot and you know, off to the west of me, you know, there's like this long, deep ravine. And I remember hearing like three loud screams. And, you know, and I remember I kind of froze like, holy cow, am I really hearing what I'm hearing? And, you know, it sounded like they were, you know, like community. You know I could hear one way down in that ravine and you know another one sounded like it was up a little bit closer

Another one sound like it was on the the further ridge and I'm sitting there listening to them and then I heard a fourth one which sounded like it was a lot closer to me like And you know it did it spooked me and I turned around and I got out of there You know I was like you know I'm done patrolling I'm going back to going back to a back towards Fort DeShane. And, you know, that was like my second encounter with him. Now, the third time was actually when me and my dad were actually out hunting. And mindy, we were back over on the west side of the Hill Creek area. And, you know, it was, actually, it was a pretty cool day because, you know, I remember it because it was my dad's birthday, September 15th. And he, and he He and I were down there hunting that whole area.

You know, we got one nice four point buck. And, you know, we were happy. We were just kind of cruising around. And, you know, the sun started going down. And my plan was to, you know, I told us, we were going to camp down there. You know, we had all our camping gear or whatnot. And just before the sun was getting ready to go down, you know, obviously that's when all the deer and elk started coming out. And, you know, I looked over and I seen another, a buck,

and I asked my dad, said, what do you think? You think I should take it? And he was like, you know, sure, go ahead. And, you know, for this experience right here, this one was kind of, kind of weird because, you know, as you start hearing the stories about, you know, paranormal kind of, you know, experiences like you know bigfoot that you know being one being one with nature and whatnot but anyways i i i shot this buck and i you know shot it you know as it was facing me it dropped and i walked up to it and you know i looked in its eyes and you can see that his eyes his pupils started dilating you know showing that it was already it was already dead and uh you know me and my dad you know it was funny because i remember he you know he was at the the front legs and he was holding

open i opened it up went to go gut it and i reached inside and the heart you know was a beaten and it scared me and you know i pulled my hand out and my dad started laughing and you know he was just like you know you know cut it so so so so i did and you know we we cleaned them out and whatnot and so we put him in the back and you know we drove up on this this knoll just not too far away from where I shot it and you know I parked facing west and I remember I was watching the we were watching the sun go down and I remember it was like one of those times where you know it was like a special full moon and whatnot but the moon was rising behind us and it was one of those times where it just lights up the whole you know nighttime and so you know

I actually took a picture of it and you know like a panoramic view of you know the sun setting and you know it was You know red with the sun going down and you know as you start looking back east where the moon started rising You know that whole East side of the reservation was you know being lit up by the moonlight and you know we were just like I said we were facing west watching the sunset and off to the to the right of us in this draw, you know, we were listening to a bunch of elk just bugle. And of course, like I said, that's when all the deer started coming out. And as we're watching the sunset, I remember like all those deer's off to the, I guess you would say, the south of us, you know, started to come running up from that side of that hill.

and they actually, you know, kind of ran around my truck and we looked at each other. We were like, you know, what the heck is it all about? And, you know, down there too, they actually got wild horses down there that roam around down there. And, you know, we looked over and we seen those wild horses. There was like a group of them, they gathered up and they started like running in circles over kind of where, you know, where I shot that buck. they were running around in circles and then they took off and they ran south down

and we looked at it and we was like well that was weird and then you know kind of over where I where I had shot that buck you know that's where we started hearing the whole famous scream going on

the whole and I looked at my dad and he looked at me and I was like you know I'll admit you know I got a little spooked again and you know

the only way out was to go north, but we had to drive by that area where I had shot that bucket. I was a little scared. And you know, the other way was to, the other option was to go south further into the reservation. You know, I was like, you know what? We're just gonna go home, so we went home and whatnot. So that was like my, I guess my third experience,

but my most recent, one was actually in the Sawtooth Mountains. Now, you know, I actually, it's actually the picture that's in my profile, or my profile picture where I'm in there with my dad, that's actually at the Sawtooth Mountains at Red Fish Lake. And, you know, we go up there and, you know, I do salmon fishing with the missus and her son, you know, their show bands from the show band tribe and you know they do a lot of salmon fish and you know I go up there I'd like to I enjoy the camping I hang out watch and do it and you know we just have a good time and so I actually had taken my dad and uh you know we have a bunch of a little grandkids

and whatnot and you know once we got there to the campground of Redfish Lake you know the grandkids were all you know goofing around you know like calling for big foot, you know, just being silly and goofy. And, you know, me and, uh, you know, my son-in-law, we, we grabbed these sticks and we started banging on the trees and whatnot, you know, and this is, you know, we're, we're getting settled in and I don't know if you're familiar with the campground area, you know, there's a lot of camping ground, you know, a lot of people that camp around, you know, it's a, you know, it's a, you know, tourist, you know, kind of place, and it's a nice little lake. And, uh,

So, but when we were, as the night came, we made a campfire, we were sitting around, we were talking. And my dad actually was telling the missus and her family about, you know, that encounter with my oldest brother, back when we were little boys, you know, telling him about, you know, him screaming and seeing red eyes staring at him. and you know we kind of you know just like telling you tell everyone was telling their own stories and whatnot so after that you know we go we go to bed and uh you know i'm laying there and i i can't sleep and i'm just you know by then it must have been about 11 o'clock i'm gonna say 11 maybe midnight um but everyone was sleeping and i'm laying there and next you know i hear the the famous and i and i froze and i laid there again i was like holy cow and uh you know the next day i i told everyone what what i had heard and uh you know it just

yeah yeah i mean for me that was you know what when i look back at all my experiences too you know from when i was a fishing game officer oh speaking of there was actually another one too where i'm i'm pretty sure i actually saw them and it was one of those things were, you know, how people say that they don't know he's there until, you know, at the last second where, you know, he walks off into the woods, right? It was actually patrol, and again, this was on the, this, again, again, back in when I was a, I was patrolling in the Hill Creek area, very south where I was telling the, telling you about where I heard that, got screaming. We were, I was actually further down south and I came across to this flat. And it's just a two track right through that flats and you know you got the tree lines, you know, surrounding it.

And I remember driving and pretty much at my nine o'clock view, a movement caught my attention and I looked over and I seen, you know, and this is before I even started hearing. about colors you know because I always thought it was like a dark color like he was a dark color but at the time when I looked over I seen this figure just walking into the tree line and it had like long red hair at the time and at the time I I chalked it up as a bear for you know from some odd reason and then again later on when I started hearing more stories about people's you know seeing him and and then seeing videos or whatnot about, you know, him having red hair as well. You know, I look back at that experience and, you know, I, there's, for me, it was,

I was convinced that, yeah, I had briefly saw him, but again, it was like one of those moments where movement actually caught my attention to what I looked over, because I was driving for a while on that flats. And again, like I said, him walking back into the tree line is what caught my attention. But, yeah, those are those are my experiences. And, you know, I just, I tell those those stories to whoever is interested, you know, whenever if I find someone that, you know, like, you know, is interested in Bigfoot and whatnot. I mean, I actually went to my, like, my first.

Bigfoot convention or a little convention you could say right there in Pocatello where I live right now and that's where I actually met Jeff Meldrum before actually before he passed away and I was really stoked I bought his book and you know I shared my story with him the sawtooth mountain story anyways and he actually told me that you know that that that was the second person that you know told him a story about the sawtooth mountain area you know so you know he just was like, you know, there's obviously something going on up in that area. And it was, it was pretty cool actually meeting Jeff, you know, after I experienced all that, you know, the sawtooth and even, you know,

back home on the reservation, you know, back from when I was a little kid to when I was a fishing game officer. But, yeah, that's my story. And, you know, I'm finally glad I got to share it with you. again I've been wanting to to respond to your message but you know like I said I just haven't had time to sit down and you know write it out in an email because you know I felt like there was a lot of detail to go into it and you know obviously with work life and whatnot I just did not make time for it so you know that's no problem Kyle I just

appreciate that you're able to come up today and share and I got to I got to tell you I've heard from another individual about Redfish Lake as well so you might be interested. They saw, so this guy talked to named Rob. He said he saw a glowing orb to drop enough trees that was followed by a tall, hunched,

light brown Sasquatch with green eyes that crossed the camp perimeter at dusk, and then they heard a whoop afterwards. And that was around 2017 at Redfish Lake. So, it's an interesting area from what I've

heard. He said there was some missing person case is around there too, but that's episode 952 if you want to check that out. Hey, did that, that story that you're telling me about, was that on the south side of the lake or on the north side? You know what? I don't know. I can't remember the exact details, but I have this map that I keep on my website, it's bigfoot society podcast.com.

There's a siting map. And so I was just looking up redfish as he was talking, and that's what I have. written down there. So there might be more details if you listen to the actual episode, but that's what I've got. Thanks for coming up, man. I'm going to check in with a few other people, but I'm glad we finally got to talk. All right. Thank you. You have a good night. Hi there. How are you? Hi, I'm good. Hey, awesome. Feel free to share what your experience was. Okay. So I live in Kentucky. about it was probably around 2010.

Myself and two friends were headed back from a concert late at night. We got lost. So we were coming home on the back roads instead of the parkway. We ended up going through, I don't know if you're familiar with Kentucky, but Rochester Dam in Kentucky. It's somewhat close to Mammoth Cave, but there's a lot of natural cave systems that go through there. So we're in a two-door car.

I'm in the back seat. And right as we're passing the Rochester Dam, the driver slammed on her brakes, and we skidded sideways in the road. And I'm sorry, I'm nervous because I just reliving it. It's crazy. Oh, you're good. I have the same reaction.

I'm super nervous. You're good. Yeah. So whenever she skidded sideways, it was summer. She had her window down. She actually hit the break so hard that her glasses were sideways on her face. And she came to a complete stop. So she adjusted her glasses and we were like, what was it?

What is it? And she fixed her glasses. and stuck her head out the window. And whenever she did, we heard the loudest, I don't even know how to explain it, kind of like everybody else says. It was a growl, a yell, I have no idea, never heard that before my life. And it was so deafening, like crazy deafening. Um, but whenever that happened, I turned around through the back glass of the car.

and it was this massive you can only see black because there was no street lights it's out in the middle of the country but it was probably 10 foot tall and extremely bulky I could not see its face but it was it was huge very very huge on two legs there's not bear in that area however they have been spotted there before but I've seen Black Bear up close and there is no way there is absolutely no way that was a bear I've also heard Bears growl in person and that is not what that was I honestly believe that we seen Bigfoot that night my goodness is that by the Peabody WMA yes it is yeah yeah yep yep I have heard about that area

on my show, some really weird stuff happens around that area. Yeah. So I'm not surprised at all. You had that experience. How far away from your vehicle would you say it was? So whenever we stopped, we were sideways in the road. Like I said, we were stopped sideways. And probably it might have been five feet behind the car standing.

I couldn't make out any color really. I'm saying a black mass. It could have had color. I have no idea. It was so dark out there that all I could see was the silhouette of its body. But yeah, whenever it gave off whatever, howl, growl, scream, whatever it was, the driver was screaming and crying. And I was just screaming for her to go.

because they couldn't see what was behind us, but I could. And I had never seen anything like that in my life. There's no explanation as to any animal that that could have been for the size that I was seeing. My goodness. How did that affect you after that happened? Well, like it was 2010 around that time. And I do drive through there a lot. and I'm always looking through the woods as I'm driving.

It's really scary because this is a rural area. And you just never know. I love to walk trails and outdoor activities like that. And it's kind of hindered me from wanting to do that, really. I don't blame you at all. So the end of the encounter, though. So how did it just, did it run away or how did that end up for you guys? I do not know.

I don't know if it ran away. I don't know where it went. We were all hysterical after we heard it. And I was just screaming for her to go and she was crying. So nobody was actually looking back anymore. We were looking forward like go, go, go, get away from whatever this is. I don't blame you. You know, I've never had a sighting myself, but I can only imagine what it does to you.

And depending on how you react to it, I mean, you want to get out of there as quick as you can. So I don't blame you for that. Oh, my goodness. Have you heard of any other sightings in the same area? I have heard of other ones, but not by anyone that I know. It's just been sightings that people have talked about online. But they all seem to be originating from that small area that I've seen. Gotcha.

But like I said, there's a lot of natural caves all through Kentucky, but especially that area, because it's really not that far from mammoth cave and hundreds miles away from mammoth cave. There's all little caves everywhere. Oh, I bet. Yeah, that's the thing with that. It's like that over here in eastern Iowa, too. It's like, yeah, you've got the big caves that the park is at, but then you know there's undiscovered ones on some farmer's land. Oh, yeah, definitely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, man, thank you so much for coming up and for sharing. I know this is probably a hard thing to share, it sounds like, but I appreciate you doing this today. Thank you. I've actually never shared this outside of family and friends before. Thank you for let me come on. Hey, Cody. How are you? Not too bad. How are you? Hey, doing good. Feel free to share what you had happened.

Okay. Well, a long time ago, I lived in Oliver, what do you call it, Oliver, Penticton area and Canada, BC. and when I was coming up the hill going to Carameas, I almost hit a thing that looked like Bigfoot. And it was weird because as I was coming up this windy hill, you know the white line that people can walk on or you can pull your car over to on the highway. Well, that's where he was walking across the road. And as he was right there, if I didn't turn left. fast enough. And if he didn't like jump out of the way, he would have been hit. Oh my goodness. That's wild. So this is, and this is down by the border too, it looks like kind of. Yes, it is. And I just recently moved to Chilliwack. And beside Chilliwack, there's Harrison Hot Springs.

And they have a museum for Bigfoot. And I never really thought about that. Like I drove back to see what it was or whatever, if I could see them running or if I could, you know, know my intuitions at first was like oh it was just like a bear standing up walking or something like that but it I don't know like I never told anybody this before but when I moved to Chilliwack and I went to Harrison Hospring and then I went into the museum there it kind of like made it seem like oh it might be a real thing eh yeah absolutely what year did this happen um it was about eight years ago or something like that yeah I just broke up with my girlfriend and I moved and with my cousin

out in caramia's there for a little bit until I got on my feet again. But yeah, her parents own that crazy crazy Larry's antique store or whatever. So it was like right along

that highway there. Yeah, that was weird. Can you remember? I'm sure it was probably only a few seconds that you had the actual siting, right? Yeah, that's exactly what it was. Okay, yep. Do you remember, were there any things that stick out in your mind that make you think, okay, what I saw was definitely not a bear is something completely different? Okay, you know how when, like if you're standing and you're playing dodgeball, you ever play dodgeball, right?

And you know how do you kind of like jump out of the way of a ball? Like his hands went straight up in the air. like he was like like it looked really like intense he was like really getting out of the way of the car I wasn't even going too fast either it was just like going up a huge hill and it was windy and uh yeah it was kind of in the area where they used to have the zoo I don't know if you're if you know BC at all but there used to be a zoo in Panticton area like the three exits to like one direction goes um to us so yes the other direction goes to Penticton,

and then the one direction road that I was on goes to Carameas. I'm pretty sure it was Highway 3. But yeah. Okay. I thought it was kind of cool. That was all I have. You know, like the features of him jumping under the way, like, you know, like, I don't know.

That's like kind of like, wow, that look humanish, you know? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Midnight's got a good point. You probably both got freaked out at the same time. Yes. is what it sounds like yeah so yeah there you go but man thank you for coming up and and sharing what happened to you up there in bc yeah okay bye bye hi jake how are you can you hear me okay yep you sound great sir i can't say exactly it was a big foot but um just to kind of summarize the experience

it was uh 2023 calabarice county california um um um up off of Highway 4. I was doing a construction job up there, around Avery, Arnold, California. And then my brother and I took the, a short day and went up into the Stanislaus National Forest. Long story short, my brother isn't a believer. I've been, I've watched thousands and thousands of hours

of YouTube years prior on Bigfoot and, you know, always said if i had to make a bet i i bet bigfoot are real the sierra sounds was a big uh big thing to um kind of get into once i discovered that one but um and this was really in that area which is crazy so all right so anyway this isn't like a crazy bigfoot story or anything but But we get cruising around in these National Forest Roads. And then we get really deep down into this canyon. And we're on that on-X hunt map. And we think we can get away, you know, take this road at showing.

But I think it was just a, I called it a goat trail, but it was just like an ATV road. We're in a little Tacoma. Get through this creek. And we think we're going to pop out on the main Forest Service road. But at that time, it was just pitch dark. And there's like, you know, huge, we're in the forest and it's just pitch black. And we stop and we kind of get out. And this is where it gets crazy.

So we hear whoops like super, like super. super, super loud, super like a lot of volume. And I'm in the passenger, you know, stepping, standing outside the passenger door. And then it's kind of off 30 degrees to, or I would say nine o'clock from where I'm facing from the front of the vehicle. And then I look at my brother and I'm like,

you know, because he's always giving me crap about the subject, you know. like it's silly or whatever. I'm like, see, see mother epri? I was like, and then another one about this is where the 30 degrees comes in because then it's at like, you know, I don't know, off to the left more 30 degrees. And they sound really similar in volume and the distance. If I had a guess they were probably like 100 yards away.

maybe less, maybe more. And it was, I'm thinking, that's not an owl because after the initial, if you ever hear or watch that, you know, the Sierra sounds, the, whew-thing, it wasn't just that. It was, there was something really distinct and unique following that sound. It sounded really freaking weird. like it was like semi-monkeyish but not you know I don't know and then a third one behind us like totally in the opposite direction same not as not as much volume but it sounded like it could have been if there was like two males and then a female was behind us and then my brother for some reason started walking off in the dark because he was like thinking it's just an owl or something and he started he had a flashlight with him and I'm kind of like you know just bewildered you know

eyes are peeled back I'm like whoa what's going on you know and I'm thinking in my head you know you know because I hear about the mind speak thing and and I'm just sending out good vibes like hey we're not here to do anything bad man we're just trying to get out of here you know right right oh yeah you know I'm just trying to I don't know just because I anyway he's starts running back with the uh i see the flashlight going up and down because he's jogging and he's like holy crap dude i just you know i just this crazy smell came you know this you know i can't even describe it you know because he hunts way more than i do for bear and everything he's like it and that the hair's up on the back of his neck and everything i'm like dude let's get

out of here right now you know and i and i kind of you know we we end up getting out of there and then next day I go to work, he stays back, he's researching, he's like, yeah, there's no animal that sounds like that in these woods, you know, like he's trying to look it all up. And then I started thinking, too, like how people, you know, they don't get footage or I kind of beat myself up because I had my phone with me. And then I didn't even think to hit the memo, you know, the voice memo or recorded or anything. I just it wasn't in my head at all. I was just like, man, we can't, we shouldn't be here right now. That's all I could think of. Right.

Yeah, absolutely. Oh, my goodness. That's, that's so wild. I mean, first, thank you for sharing that. Stanislaus has so much activity reported over the years. So was this off of 108? It was actually off of Highway 4. And so there's, if you go,

it's probably about 10 miles east of Arnold going up and then there's that salt reservoir off to the north of Highway 4. We're on the north side of Highway 4 in between up there somewhere past big trees. So yeah, and I know approximately the whole Sierra Sound's location too after all that. It's not that far away, you know. It's right. It's right in the ball game, you know. I was like, holy crap.

Yeah, I mean, relatively you're in the right, I would say region for sure. I have a siting map of all these people I've talked to over the years. If you go to Bigfoot Societypodcast.com and then siting map. And, I mean, just check this out afterwards tonight and all the different things that I have talked to people about just up and down 101. It's really crazy. stuff. Yeah, I'll definitely scope that out for sure. And like I said, I don't know if it was a if it was a group of Bigfoot or not, but it was very, very strange, you know, the way, yeah, if I had to make a bet on that instance, I would be like, yeah, that's, that wasn't an owl.

You know, I don't know what it was though. But. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I would, I mean, you're in the, you're in the series sounds. neighborhood pretty much so that's wild man thank you so much for coming up and for sharing that I do appreciate it yeah no problem thank you feel free to share your experience I'll try to listen as best I can

this goes back to when I was younger because this big foot and counter counteracts with UFOs also because I eventually saw one being like to lift it down from like a UFO that I had encounters with UFOs before when I was 17, my first encounter. And I was on my porch, and I've seen the UFO just hovering.

And I looked up at it. It was just floated in the air and just flew off really quickly as soon as I looked at it and didn't make any noise or nothing. It looked like it was made out of stone, and I can't even describe the shape. So I jumped off my porch, and I was just like, I jumped off my porch. watch this UFO, just this spaceship thing, you know, just keep going really far away until I couldn't see it no more. It's how fast it was going to be in like three seconds. It's not. I guess if you're looking at something, you can't go so far you can't see it no more.

And, you know, I've had a couple other experiences with some U.O's down the last few years with by and stuff. But to get to the Bigfoot, me and my wife, We decided to go to the California in the northern woods. And we were just camping out there and stuff like that. And it was nighttime. We saw like a cylinder-shaped UFO and it dropped off. It was like had a light, a beam of light. We saw like this creature.

You know, you can only describe it as big foot because, because it was a huge animalistic looking thing that was being dropped off. And we were like, the thing just flew off really quick now to the sky. We walked over there, we walked close to it. This thing had red eyes and it was looking at us. looking at my wife and i saw i'm looking at her and i was like you know wondering like what the what was going on so i kind of looked at her and i just you know i told her to like shake or do something and uh did did anyone else experience what what i just experienced

um that sounded really weird the end of that call uh it did i i don't know that was weird that freaked me out a little bit here guys i hope that guy's all right it did sound weird right it almost sounded like i'm sure it was just a truck engine but it's very strange sounding hey andre how are you hey hey good good to have you up here my brother had an experience uh once in algonquin park and also me myself go up and up and not Ontario. Ontario, Canada, yeah. Oh, yeah, I'd love to hear about it.

I hear that's a pretty active place in that park. Yeah, there's all kinds of weird stuff going on in there. So my brother had, I have a big family, but one of my brothers was out there camping with some friends. And he came and told me one day his experience about seeing some big, tall figure, but it was late at night and everyone kind of thought he was joking around. But every time I talked to him about it, he was dead set that he had seen some big giant humanoid figure in the bushes staring at him.

Oh my goodness. How long ago was that? I think this was like five years ago. go gotcha gotcha okay so yeah and so ever since I heard about that as I kind of always wondered what it was I thought well maybe it was just a bear or I always tried to explain it away as something that could be explained right right but I ended up doing a lot of research and watching a lot of videos and hearing what a lot of people had to to say about it. And I'm Christian myself, so I always like to relate everything to the Bible,

bring it back to, you know, what the word of God says and everything. Absolutely. What other things are happening in that park? So my experience that I had in Algonquin Park was I was out there building a little structure just for fun. and because I'm a native Indian and we there's a lot of things we like to do out there in the great outdoors but I was building a structure out there and I'd go out there every once once every couple weeks and keep working on it but the one time I was out there all alone it was kind of like one of those gloomy rainy days and I was recording and I was recording with my phone, me chopping up some getting some food prepped. And all of a sudden, this like weird vibration started going through my phone. And it was like coming through my body or something.

I don't know what it, but I had previously had watched videos and instantly I was like, oh my goodness. I think this, I think there's a creature trying to send a pulse wave or something at me. because my phone was like vibrating really low and it was draining the power out of it. It was really weird, but... And I started hearing all these whooping noises, you know, they talk about. Oh, man. Yep, yep. And so I was like, right away, I was just like, oh, my goodness, I'm having my own Bigfoot experience.

Probably a family of them out doing something. And so I ended up. deciding that okay I'm going to pack up my stuff and I'm going to get out of here because it's not really smart to be all alone out there and I guess that specific day I was actually using my chainsaw because I was clearing up the area around my structure I was building and I have a feeling that cutting all that wood probably drawed them in actually it chucked a rock and it it hit like because the structure I was building was like up on top of like a high point and it was there's like a big giant rock that goes all the way around

so if something hits against it you can hear it right and so as I was leaving with my stuff one of those big foot's chucked a rock and I could hear it hit against that and I was like oh boy so I haven't really gone out there a whole lot I've been out there maybe twice since that experience because I just don't know what to think right now. Right. Yeah. Creepy. But if anybody's interested in seeing that experience that I had,

I have a YouTube channel. It's called Survival Life Creations. I kind of messed up my editing on it a little bit, but my YouTube channel is called Survival Life Creations. life creations and you'll see it's the one where I talk about hearing Bigfoot or something. It looks like a great, great kind of like bushcraft and like outdoor setting up stuff. I like it. So yeah, I'll have to, I'll have to check that out later.

Thank you. Awesome. Awesome, man. Well, thank you. I appreciate you coming up, man. No problem. Take care. Hey, Real.

How's it going? I'm going, brother. Hey, doing good. Trying to get somewhere where it's quiet. Okay. No sweat. No sweat. Yes, sir.

Yeah, I've got a couple of experiences, actually. Can you guys hear me? Yeah, you sound good now. Yep. Okay. All right. Well, during, during COVID, I'm watching a bunch of Sasquot content, how to hunt.

I'm big on watching him. And my wife brings me a sandwich or whatever. She comes in and all of a sudden she screams, OMG, that's what I saw. That's what used to watch me in the woods playing when I was a kid. And I'm like, babe, do what? She said, that's my friend. That's the wild man that used to watch me when I was a kid riding my bike.

I used to wave at it. I'm like, babe, that's a big foot. That's a Sasquatch. She's like, I never knew. exactly what it was, but I just thought it was like a big hairy homeless vagrant that lived in the woods. So she says basically from the age of around about nine or ten, all the way until she went to college. The last time she saw it was in 1998 hiding behind a big pine tree. And she had got off from work from the casino.

And she noticed when she pulled up into the driveway that the spotlight was on, the floodlight was on. So she just so happens to look over to the right and she sees this peeping behind the tree. She said she hadn't seen it in probably about a year or two. So she's walking into the house and she basically just pauses or whatever and kind of waves at it, says that it turns and walks away and does not make a sound. And that was the last time that she saw. We met several months later. She didn't know anything about Bigfoot Sasquatch, anything like that until then.

Actually, what I was watching was some different sketches. And it was a sketch that was up and she swears up and down that it looks just like this. And what shocked me so much was, man, this thing looked human. This sketch, it looked human. And that's the reason she says she always thought it was just like a homeless, Harry Vagrin or whatever that lived in the woods. So fast forward into about last year or so, we're getting ready to move on to some property. So we moved into her parents' house. the home where all of this happened. They're surrounding, I'm down here on the coast on Mississippi,

and her parents' house is backed up to like thousands of acres, thousands of acres. We got a lot of stress and all that going on as we're getting ready to get, you know, to move on to the property. And we never argue, never, I can count on one hand how many arguments we had. And, uh, and I would keep the back window, the bedroom window where the bathroom is cracked. So my daughter's cat can go in and out. And we're kind of arguing or whatever. I don't even remember what it was about or whatever. And I hardly ever raised my voice at her, but I raised my voice at her.

And when I did, I remember I had this feeling of dread that came over me. And I thought maybe it was because I never yell at her or something like that. So I go outside to, I smoke black and mild cigars. I go outside to smoke a cigar and I start hearing these knocks. This was about the third time that we had heard them before. So I get my son or whatever, he comes out and he's like, yeah, dad sure do. I'm hearing these or whatever. It's like three different locations or whatever.

So he goes back in maybe after 15, 20 minutes and I'm standing out there by myself. And I swear to you, there's a big drainage stick that drains to this creek and probably maybe not even 100 yards away. I thought someone was in the woods speaking a different language. I mean, I heard someone speaking and I couldn't make out what they were saying, but it was like they were. arguing like they were fussing, jibb jibb jibbiz chibbiz. I'm going, man, what is that? And I did not correlate it, put it, put it, you know, two and two together or whatever that. Maybe this is jibbers, maybe this is the saskwax or something like that.

So I got a little bit closer. And I tell you, man, I mean, I just had chills around all over my body. I felt exactly as this thing was fussing at me. And actually later on after I'm telling her about it, she was like, yeah, that was my friend. He was, he was probably yelling at you, fussing at you. He didn't like the way that she was talking to me. And she's probably spot on because this thing was going off. I mean, so much so, I literally ran inside. I ran inside, closed the windows, locked all the doors, locked all the windows, everything or whatever.

A couple of months after that, we're always looking out the window, you know, and, you know, just listening for knocks and the whoops and things like that. We've heard, we've experienced it all. And I'm looking outside. Actually, if you go to my channel, I've actually got some videos actually on there of the orbs. I'm looking back off into the woods or whatever, and I see these three green lights, I mean, three lights, two red and one green or whatever.

And once again, I get my whole family and I tell everybody because I don't want anybody thinking I'm crazy or whatever, going like, what's this or whatever? This wasn't just your average orb that you usually see. It was more in like a triangle shape. And but it did eventually turn into an orb or whatever, and it looked like molten gold. And then it started scanning about in the same area where the gibberish,

gibberish, you know, talk was coming from. So I recorded, I mean, I think I probably recorded or whatever, maybe four or five times. We had one to come into the bedroom. We had movie night going. I'm a family of four, me, my wife and my daughter and my son. We were all sitting there watching a movie. And I thought a spider was coming down in front of me.

I could see this line coming down. or whatever from the ceiling. And I had just got new contacts. So I talked it up to that. I'm going, man, what's going? What am I seeing or whatever? So I leaned up a little bit. And sure enough, man, there was this little glowing ore.

And right at about the time I got maybe a foot or so away, my daughter goes, what is that? And as she does or whatever, it zips away and zips underneath the couch. I don't know if it's just this area. I think it's my wife, actually. I think so I don't know what it is everything you know I think surround her she's had an orb to actually follow her and my daughter they went to a high school football game one followed them all the way into the parking lot the whole time she was at the game she could see it when she left to get in the car it

hovered over the car she's actually got a video of it but yeah down here on the Mississippi Coast man the last probably four or five years we've been having a lot of different experiences but I did You know, want to call, you know, call in and, you know, give a little bit of, you know, the experience in stores and things like that. But yeah, from the age of about 9 to about 18, she's seen this thing a handful of time. She thought it was a homeless guy that lived in the woods. She said he was maybe seven, eight feet tall. She never told anybody about it because she said she thought somebody would go out there and maybe run the guy off.

But until 2021, when I'm watching this, she screams out, OMG, that's what I saw. That's what used to watch me in the woods. I'm like, babe, this is a big foot. She's like, I'm telling you, that's what I saw. That's exactly what used to stand in the woods and watch me. He would watch me at a distance and I'd wave at him, but he just standing there and just stare at me. He looks similar to the, to the photo that you have here.

A little bit, yeah, it was a little bit more groomed, you know, the one that I do have the photos saved, a little bit more groomed. She always said, you know, it had fur like a bear. It had hair like a bear. It's a little bit more groomed than this one here. But it has a face of a man. And she says about 90%, this is, you know, with the sketch that I end up saving.

She said that's exactly what it looked like. I'm telling you, it looks like a human to me. Yeah, dude, people, I talked to this one guy, and he saw what looked like, um, he's had a big, big hairy man. from 77 to 78 off of his porch in Waveland. Yeah, and a buddy of mine, we had a up around the Leaf River.

And what's crazy about this, I was actually watching your show and a guy called in, and he was talking about up around the Leaf River. This is in Pearl River County. It's a hunting area. And my buddy and I was turkey hunting. And all of these years, I had never thought that this is what this could have been. But we're, we probably had height maybe, no lie, maybe 10 miles back off into the trails or whatever. You know, we were young, maybe early, mid-20s or something like that at that time.

So we got out there about 5 o'clock in the morning. This was around maybe 10, 11 a.m. We had been hiking so long. What we do, we call a little bit and we stopped, spend, you know, 20, 30 minutes or whatever post up, you know, to wait to see if any birds will come in. And, man, we were exhausted. So we kind of end up against this, this dirt. berm. We were kind of laying back or whatever, laying back and calling both of us had dozed off. And man, when I tell you this, every time I talk about this, I can actually feel it in my shoulders.

There was something that yelled. It was like a cross between a lion and a bear, a dinosaur or something like that. Like I said, I was kind of dozed off or whatever. So, you know, it woke me up out of, both of us out of our asleep. We both jumped up with our 12-gauge shot. gun. I'm thinking maybe a hog or something is upon us. And behind of there's maybe like this maybe a little hundred yard little little bowl or whatever. And it kind of comes up an incline and drifts off into some little thin pine trees that they had planted, maybe 200 yards or so you could see. And there was nothing there. I mean, we talked about this all the way home. Man, what could that have been? We actually choked it up to chalked it up that there was probably

something paranormal. Maybe like a ghost. or something like that. But it, but it yells so loud that I could feel the vibrations in my, in my shoulders. Every time I talk about it, I think about it. I always can feel it or whatever. But yeah, man, we jumped up. We jumped up or whatever. Didn't see anything after maybe about five seconds or so.

So we take off running. Actually, as we come around a little bend or whatever, maybe about 25, 30 yards from where we were, we actually jumped to Turkey. We were so scared, neither one of us even took. a shot at it. So we run for maybe 10, 15 minutes and we're tired and we kind of slow up and we're talking about it like, man, what's going on? You know, let's go back. So we finally worked up our nerves to go back. And where the noise came from behind us in this little bowl, there was all this tall sawgrass or whatever. And I mean, if a rabbit had went through that grass, you would be able to,

you know, see the trail that it had made. There was no trails. He and I, we started walking through the grass trying to figure it out and everywhere we walked you could actually see where we were walking and he was tripping out by they like man whatever this was it was like it was right on top of us how come there's no trails or whatever how come there's no tracks or anything i'm man i don't know you know what let's just get out of here we ran i know for probably an hour i mean and basically until we just about collapsed we couldn't go any further that's how that's how freaked out we were when i tell you it was loud the loudest roar, growl I've ever heard in my life. And I've been in the woods my whole life.

I'm 46 years old. I've been hunting since I was about 11 or 12. I've heard everything deer bobcats. I've actually seen a couple of black bear down here. I've seen it all. Coyotes. I've never heard anything like this. And it was just until recently when I heard this guy on your show talk about the Leaf River that I went, dude, that had to be what that was. that had to have been. There's no other explanation what it could have been for something to sound like it's literally standing on top of us. We jump up with our 12-gauge shotguns looking around. We don't see anything.

We run off. We come back. We're kind of checking out the area, and we don't see anything. I think to me, looking back on it or whatever, we were, you know, like I said, going every 10, 15 minutes calling, stopping. I think this thing probably thought it was a bird or whatever or something. He was going to throw a rock and maybe have him a meal. And, you know, that's just what it was like.

It was like something was mad or frustrated or something like that. But I can't say for sure that that's what it was. But my wife's experiences without a shadow of a doubt. I wish I could get her to call in. She's very shy about this stuff. She don't even want me talking about it. She don't want me telling anybody about it because she's afraid somebody may come down here in the woods, you know, hunting for it trying to kill it or something like that.

Well, I get it. I absolutely get it. Well, man, I appreciate you coming up. Sharon and hopefully that you guys don't have any other issues. Sounds like you got it figured out now, but it sounds like you also got something watching you.

Yeah, yeah, most definitely. It's safe. Yeah, we still hear stuff or whatever. I don't worry about recording anything like that anymore. I've got a bunch of stuff in my phone. But yeah, most definitely, man, they're here. They're back there.

But yeah, man, I appreciate your time, and I appreciate you having me on, though. Thank you for coming. coming up, sir. I really appreciate it. You have a great. All right. You too. Bye.

Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch, or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a national park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet,

if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI, a federal agency, or working intelligence, and you've stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about, and if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search-and-rescue responder, who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense, sense. If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field or trucker with government contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report,

if you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or anything with clearance, and you've seen what the public hasn't, then I want to talk to you. Even if it's anonymous, you can reach me at bigfoot society at gmail.com. The world needs to hear what you've been forced to carry alone, and you're not alone.
