Bigfoot Society - Return of the Bigfoot Nursery | Georgia

Episode Date: February 11, 2026

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, we invite Neal Ryder back from bigfoottalk.com and rural Georgia, who has spent years observing ongoing Bigfoot activity on his wooded property. Located in an area where multiple creek bottoms converge and dense hardwood forests stretch across the landscape, Neal shares how repeated encounters began after settling on the land and never truly stopped. Through detailed observations of footprints, vocalizations, gifting behaviors, and changes in the terrain, he paints a vivid picture of long-term Bigfoot presence tied closely to the natural features of the region. Neal also discusses seasonal patterns, nursery areas hidden near ridges and waterways, and how clear-cut logging around the property altered movement and behavior. His firsthand insights offer a grounded, methodical look at Bigfoot activity rooted in place, time, and careful attention to the land. Join us as we explore Neal’s ongoing experiences and the deepening mystery unfolding in the forests of Georgia.Resources: https://www.bigfoottalk.com/books by Neal Ryder - https://www.amazon.com/stores/NEAL-RYDER/author/B0GCNFT39G?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=149daaf3-ab8e-4f28-9fba-82bc3d267a6f🗣️ 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

All right, Pickfoot Society. You've got the privilege of talking to Mr. Neal Ryder again. Neil is the gentleman in charge of bigfoottalk.com.

You may have seen that page on Facebook. A lot of great information. And Neil was actually on the show last about a year ago in January of 2025. Neil was actually one of the top 10 listened to episodes on YouTube for Bigfoot Society. So you may remember hearing a little clip from his episode on the end of the year show I did, whereas the top 10 episodes by YouTube listens. Uh, Neil's had a lot of stuff going on since then.

We're going to get into that in a minute, but I, I want to make sure people are aware of that. He's starting to put out some really interesting books, and he's been nice enough to send, uh, a few over to me. You can get understanding Bigfoot a guide for outdoor enthusiasts, which is awesome. And, uh, Bigfoot in Georgia, the cohabituation chronicles when Bigfoot let us know they were there.

And that's book one out of five in a series. series and you just look up Neil Ryder on Amazon. But welcome to the show, Neil. How are you doing today, sir? I'm doing great, Jeremiah. How you doing? Hopefully you're staying warm. Yeah, I mean, we are trying, my friend,

it was negative 30 wind chill last Friday. And they closed all the schools. But right now, we're starting to get out of it. So fingers crossed that we are, we're out of the cold season. But, man, Neil, looks like you have been. busy. I'm always looking at your posts you're putting out there on the bigfoottalk.com Facebook page. But man, you know, in case this is listeners first run in with you, could you give, is it possible to give a little bit a background about how we've gotten to the place where we are

now with everything you've got going on on your property? Sure. It's been kind of crazy. I believed a long time ago because I was always interested in cryptos and it was a 50-50 chance of Bigfoot was actually real. Hunting on the live fish, been in the outdoors. I was always good at noticing patterns and thought I knew a lot about the outdoors. But then I get, we buy this property for a retirement home after we have been here for a few years. I'd seen things that didn't make any sense. But all of a sudden, a family group of Bigfoot.

let me know they were here. And what started that was I put a bigfoot cutout in the backyard. And I guess they thought that I knew they were here. So they started whistling and hitting the house and letting us know they were here. So we did a lot of interactions. And the episode that Jeremiah was talking about was 659. It tells us a lot about the beginning story, which I won't get into that because that's a 45-minute thing of all the information in it. all the stuff that was weird that I saw.

But anyway, there was a family group. We started building trust back and forth. It is based on trust and respect. You know, I would give them stuff. They would give me stuff back. And it just started, it started an amazing adventure. I know there's a lot of people that help them cohabitate with them and have them around,

that I wanted to learn as much as I could about them. There was a family group. It was a male that his print was 19.5 inches and 10.5 inches wide. There was a female at the beginning of her footprint was 13.5 inches long and 8 inches wide. There was a juvenile, and his footprint was 9.5 inches long, and it was real narrow and only had four toes. And then there was a young one that was 6.5 inches long. So when we build up the respect with them, they quit hiding their prints. I mean, so I could go and see what they're doing by their prints.

They quit hiding them. And they knew I loved their prints and everything. So the family group was here. But then I started a gifting station, which I know that people say don't give them food, but I was young and dumb in the Bigfoot world then. I didn't know any better. I thought they were just another animal like deer, wildhog, squirrels, everything else. You know, they eat food.

They go away, you know, no problem. Now, I've had no negative impact from that at all. But they do let me know if they're out of food. I don't give them food all the time. I give them a lot of other objects. And I actually have run many tests with them just to see what they would do to it and learn amazing things about them. but after a while they made a nursery site. Now that is weird because at certain times of years it would mark their trails.

So the new ones coming in to find where they're going and find the trails. And I always knew when they would be coming in because they would mark the trails about one to two weeks ahead of it. But there would be two to three babies come in. there would be a juvenile with each baby. The mom was here all the time, and there was an extra juvenile. I don't know if it was a day watcher or a fill-in, something just helping the mom.

I'm not sure. Now, the male would come and go. He wasn't here all the time. But the nursery site was an amazing time because I had all these, we had these little ones on the property, and they would walk in our backyard. They would look in the windows.

They would give us gifts. They would play with our dogs. And so it was an amazing time. Then things changed to present. They clear cut about 700 acres around our property. And we have a major crossing of Bigfoot here at this location. We have four different streams coming in from four different bottles. Well, the first two meet, it makes a bigger stream, and then another one comes in and

meet and then it goes out the other side, but there's four different bottoms that converge at this one site. And each one of them have ridges along the edges. So it's a major crossing spot for them because they use the waterways and the bottoms to move from place to place. when they cut all that property most of our property is hardwoods so in the winter time

a lot of times they would go to safe zones well the safe zones are now cut clear cut and I mean clear cut to the ground they didn't plan anything they just clear cut everything to the ground it was terrible so now the people around us that knew about being here are actually shooting onto our

property trying to shoot them And amazingly enough, they're still trying to stay here. So I'm still interacting with them, but now they're hiding their prints. They are, they will interact with me some. Like about a week and a half ago, I was down at the gifting station. And one of them gave me a two in the afternoon gave me a fake alcohol. and then another one, probably 30 yards from it, the littler one, gave me a fake alcohol.

And I know they're fake because I heard them that. They can imitate anything, but they were letting me know that they were still here. And where they were at was away from the shooting. As a matter of fact, they have made a blind where they can see the gifting station in an area that people don't go in to get shot. at. So they're actually avoiding it now. I'm hoping that at some point in time the stuff

will grow back and then we can get back to normal. But until then, at least I'm very excited about the fact that they're staying here on the property. Now, a lot of people ask me a lot of questions. Now, I did the podcast number 659 that tells a lot of the interactions. And we've had a ton of interactions. That was only a part of them, but it was two hours worth the interactions in the beginning story. And then did another one, number 700, that told about the sightings that we've had on here, the ones that I've seen on here. Now, my son seen four, my wife seen a couple. So others have been seen by, you know, other people here. But some people ask me, and so I've got some things that I can tell you about.

I've got a lot of stuff I can tell you about, but a lot of people ask me questions, and I like to go ahead and tell people what I've seen or heard. Some people said, ask me because we build a great relationship, have I ever been growled at? And the answer is yes, I've been growled at twice.

One of them I should have been growled at, and the other one I shouldn't have got growled at. and I can tell you them real quick. The first one, my wife had a party with some family members over here, and several of them knew about Bigfoot being here. So some of them wanted me to go and show them some footprints and stuff. So my wife pushed me to do it. I didn't really want to do it because I know they don't want it to be seen,

but my wife wanted me to do it. So I drove a group over to two people over to the place. pond and the water had gotten real low and one had stepped in the mud, two steps in the mud and it sunk really deep, but you can see clear print, clear as day. They actually took and had broken sticks and put over it to try to hide the hole because they always try to hide it. They don't want it to be that exposed. They don't want anything that could be castable. But they tried to hide it and they even put some broken branches on the, on the clay. on the mud to make it look normal that it's broken, which it wasn't.

Well, when those people were looking at it, behind a hill, 40 yards from me, one of them barked at me. And I knew that's where one stayed because it had broken branches at me before about there to let me know that behind that hill it has its daytime area to stay. So it's right behind that hill. So I knew when it barked that I knew it was them saying, uh-uh, don't be doing that, you know. So I went and brought those two back. Then my wife wanted me to take somebody else.

Well, because they told them about how good those prints were. So I took them over there. Well, this time they barked again, even a little more aggravated. So I got them out of there. And then one guy wanted to see the Gifting Station. So I took him down there and there was a baby footprint that was clear as day. You can see the hill, the toes, everything on it. And I said, yeah, this is a baby because they have a nursery site right now.

And as he was looking at it, he was talking, he was saying, look, this is perfect print. It's about four inches long, four to four and a half inches long. This is a perfect print. How can anybody deny that they're here? I said, well, it just happens. A lot of people don't believe in them. So, you know, but there you go. You're looking at a baby print.

And as I said that to him, he started talking about it. And on the other side of creek, one growled at me. And I knew I'd been busted because they had already warned me twice about not letting people see their footprints. And here I am showing a baby print, and they're real protective of the babies. So it growled at me on the other side of the creek. So I kind of let them know I wouldn't do it again, and I hadn't done that again, you know, with people that are like that because they just don't, they don't want to be noticed. They want to be remain hidden themselves. The second one that got growled at was a, what I believed to be a juvenile male.

I took some food down to the gifting station, and there were a lot of prints that day. And I liked to keep up with how many are there, are the juveniles staying with the same babies, so on and so forth. So I got my ruler out. I was measuring on keeping an account of it. And I guess I took too long, and he was hungry, so he growled at me. And then I just kind of laughed because I knew what it was. And then a couple minutes later, he growled again. and I just kind of said uh-uh don't be growling at me you know y'all let me see the prince

and I put stuff down here for you don't growl at me so it really was funny the next time I went down there I saw a bunch more prints so I was looking at the prince again I can't say that he learned from me but he didn't growl at me and I think it was a he could have been she I just I had to go by my feelings and I don't know my feelings are right but I do know that so far they've never been wrong this time he didn't growl this time he snapped the branch and then he snapped another branch and I just laughed and said okay well at least you didn't growl and all he wanted was me to leave because he wanted either some nutter butters or he wanted some peanut sweet and sweet and salty granola bars one or the other And then the next thing people ask me a lot is what's the scariest moment I have.

Now, this is a weird situation, and I don't talk about it very much at all. But anyway, one day, my wife and I went down to the pond, and we were late getting the pond mowed around. it was we were about a month and a half late we usually mow it in March and we were late and it was so high on the edges which I usually do it with a weed eater I was going to have to take a lawnmower and run over the edge to cut it and she was on the right lawnmower mowing the grass on the the tall grass in the middle but it was made the pond was made with a bulldozer so it's got a two to three foot drop straight down she's not going to get close to it and how the side of the zero turn flip over on her.

As soon as I get down there, I get the lawn board off and all of a sudden the hair on my arms stands up. I told my wife, I said, babe, this isn't good. She said, what? I said, look at my arms. She said, your hair's standing up. I said, that's only happened one other time in my life. and that's when I was circled by a pack of wild dogs

and they were moving in on me. That's the only time that's ever happened, so this is not good. So about 10 or 12 seconds later, we're talking about it, and the hair went down. Then everything kind of calmed down. The atmosphere changed and stuff, and so I said, okay, well, I think everything's good now because whatever it was must be gone. so then I started mowing on the edge

and I got to the end that's closest to their trail and something happened to me that is really weird some people have talked about it's not a common thing but in my head a deep base manly voice said and oh I forgot to tell you this the hair stood up on my arm again,

but the hair stood up on the back of my neck, and that has never happened. This voice came into my head and said, you need the leave now. I'm like, holy cow, it's the big male. The big male's here and wants me to leave. And all of a sudden,

I start thinking in my head, I start thinking in my head, okay, if I run that way, no, he can get me, because I've got the feeling that he is, within 10 yards behind me, probably seven yards. Close. I'd always heard, don't look the big mail in the eyes

because it'll mess you up where you don't want to go in the woods again and all this stuff. So I wasn't going to look at it, but I knew what was going on. So I'm going through these scenarios, run that way, know it'd get me, go through there, no, go to the side-by-side. The only thing I've got in there is a little three- or four-inch knife. What can I do with that?

we'll get something like that. And then the voice came back in my head that said, there's nothing you can do to me. I forgot that, you know, if he's talking to my head, he's reading my thoughts. I forgot that. And I was like, holy cow, okay. And then I, in my head, I said back, you're right.

There is nothing I can do to you. But we don't mean you all any harm. We're just down here trying to clean up the grass around the pond. I'm mowing this and my wife's mowing that. As soon as we get done, we're going to leave. Y'all are welcome here. Nothing else was said, but after about 10 or 12 seconds, the hair went down on the back of my neck and arm again.

So we went and finished up. Now, my wife was hot. She wanted to stay by the pond. I wasn't going to tell her what happened. I didn't want her to be scared of them. And so I told her into going, went to the house and we'd make some lunch because we hadn't had lunch yet. Really, it's just a way to leave so I was telling the truth. Now, I really do believe with the big mail, that had a huge

impact on the relationship because I did exactly what I said I was going to do. And because I did that and left, like I said, I was going to do, I think that built more in the respect and trust. and I know that really sounds weird, but I can only tell you what happened to me. Now, people that have heard that have asked me, they said, so what do you do? Do you still go down there? Yeah, absolutely.

They said, well, what kind of gun do you carry? I've got a lot of guns at the house. People in the South out of guns and love guns. I've never taken a gun on this property. I carry a shovel. So if I have any problems with snakes, I can use a shovel on a snake. I carry a rake if I need to clean something up.

I've never carried a gun. We don't fear them here. They've done all kind of interactions with us. Here we say the unusual is the usual, because there's things that happen all the time that you just don't expect. So that's the one that comes to the scariest thing that ever happened. Now, I did on an expedition one time. I was in the woods and on an expedition, and I'd stay by the fire,

because it seems like when I stay by the fire, they still come to me. Things happen. It's just, I don't know, things happened. And I heard mouth pops. And then the mouth pops from two different directions, there were mouth pops. And where I was sitting, there was some woods behind me. And the woods behind me, there was some mouth pops in it, and I can hear it easing up. It got to within five yards off me.

I was actually expecting it to touch my shoulder at any time. It didn't. And then it left. But Sheila, one of the people there that runs expeditions, she heard it. She heard it walking up. And the other one was over there behind her, but it never walked up to her. And she was just waiting. She just thought it was going to touch.

me also, but it never did. But then after everybody got back, the people that went down the trails and stuff, then we heard a bunch of calls that were from birds that don't make calls at night, which is really weird. There are things that are patterns that they have that people talk about,

one of which is don't throw things back at them. They will throw stuff. They won't hit you, but don't throw. it back at them because they think of that as a challenge. Well, I was on the expedition one time. One on this little ridge behind this brush and threw a stick next to one of them,

the girl that was on the expedition. Well, she thought it was going to be funny, so she wouldn't pick the stick up and threw it back up at them. Well, lucky enough, she had some high boots on because what happened is that stick came back and hit her where her ankle is, but the boots blocked it. So that's a pattern that people see. If they throw stuff at you, a lot of times I think they're just checking, seeing what you would do and stuff like that. But if you throw it back, to them, I believe they view that as a challenge,

and that was kind of proved to me that that's what happens. there's another thing that on expeditions I learned that I've heard I've heard that if a male a person a male human pees on a tree and the male Bigfoot don't like it and so one time we were on exhibition expedition and my wife had just got a new thermal It was learning how to use it. She loved it.

It was so clear. But a guy had gone over there peed on a big oak tree. When she had walked over there after that, and she was looking down in the bottom, and she saw something big and hot and didn't know what it was. And Sheila was, again, there. She came over and looked at it. Now, that thermal had pictures that it could take off it.

And when they started asking me about the pictures, I said the pictures to them, and they said, it looks weird. I said, yeah, it looks weird. It's because you see where it is, you see all this heat on the ground. I said, it was peeing at the base of a tree.

I'm like, wow, you got that old thermal. Yep, got that on thermal. One was, where one was standing is about 40 yards away, and it came up and it started peeing at the base of a tree, as if remarked in his territory. So in the book Understanding Bigfoot, I do have in there. If you're out in the woods and you're a guy,

don't pee on a tree. You pee out in the open and stuff, but don't pee on the base of a tree because I believe, especially if it's getting close to mating season, then they really take offense to that because they mark their territories like other animals do, or at least that's what I believe

by what I've heard from other people. in that event. There's a lot of things on the Facebook page people always ask me questions on, and I'm going to try to answer them now. One of the biggest is

with all the things that we have going on, with them going to the gift sensation so much and everything going on, why don't I put a camera down there? Well, cameras do not work. As a matter of fact, every time I see a Bigfoot show and they're putting cameras out, I just laughed to myself.

The only way you're going to see them on camera is if it's one that walks through an area that it doesn't know and it's not paying attention or it wants to be seen. And here, that's been the occasion. And they don't want me putting any cameras around the gifted station. I have seen some glimpses of some hair at the edge of the camera when I had the cameras that area where I have deer to come to. And then people say, well, how do they know? Well, I believe that they can see the infrared on the camera, for one thing,

but you can actually have cameras out there without infrared. I also believe that there is a chance that they can either hear or pick up on the frequency and know that they're there. and we actually had a couple of people come down here and they were trying to get pictures of them. One of them put a one-by-one camera in a little bush and zip-tied the limbs together to hold it in place. And he did not have that on the infrared.

It was going to be a full moon night and he would get to see stuff so he didn't have it on infrared. On the other side of it, we had a plot watcher that would go off intermittently. And so it should catch anything that's going on. Well, what happened is the next morning they go down there, the plot watcher had been turned on the tree away from where the Gibson station is.

The one inch by one inch stealth camera had been poked out of those tree limbs and was on the ground to where you couldn't take any pictures. And behind that tree, there were a footprint impression where something had come up to behind that tree and poked it out. And I stayed away from them when they were doing it,

and I didn't know anything about it. But then they tried one other time to do stuff, and the same type of stuff happened. They'd either put stuff in front off it to block it, or they would turn it. People have even said that they drain batteries from them. And I've had that happen here. Now, I had it where I was, when I was looking at the deer in the field, I had one camera on a trail and I put brand new batteries in it out of a pack.

And then I went to the one that was looking over the area where the deer eat with the same pack. They were the same age cameras. Never had a problem with them. The one on the trail ran for about two months to three months. the one by that lasted one week. And not only that, but later on, I found that that one got turned one night, and they actually grabbed a deer from where I was feeding them from there. So I think that they are able to do things and intelligent enough to know that the cameras

and what they're there for and they don't do it. So it really does not work. So that's the thing about the cameras that a lot of people ask about, because I can't tell you how many times people ask that about why don't you put cameras down there. The next thing is, the next biggest thing is DNA. Why don't I get DNA? I've had DNA, things with DNA on it. But it's too expensive to do it yourself. And I've even tried to give some to a study.

but when you give them to a study in the chain of custody, they want to know exactly where it came from. I'm not willing to do that. I'm trying to protect this group. I want to make sure they're safe as much as I can. So I'm not willing to put down the location that they're at to do the DNA. I had some perfect DNA. Well, I actually have blood on the thing one time.

So if anybody says, do they are they flesh and blood yes they are because i've had one bleed on the gifting station i'd put some stainless steel on the legs to stop the raccoons from getting up there and one of them came up and touched the edge of it and blood droplets were on the gifting station and when they would eat in the when the crumbs would go in the corners of the containers they would stick their finger down in there to get the crunch on it and lick it. So I know that it was one of them because you could see a finger sliding down the side of it.

And it screamed for 30 to 40 minutes because it either got salt or sugar in that cut. And I guess it burned like crazy because it was screaming for 30 to 40 minutes. My wife called me to go down there. I thought somebody had put a trap or something and it got caught by trout. But then I realized what had happened. and I knew exactly what it happened. So the DNA just, I've tried to give it, but it just doesn't work out

because I'm not willing to give the location and it's too expensive for me to do by myself. And honestly, I'm a noor of their existence. I'm not trying to prove to people they exist. I'm trying to learn as much as I can learn about Bigfoot. their family social, the social structure of the family group, the social structure of the nurture group, how they do things, and share it with others. Because there's a lot of people that have cohabitated with it, but very few of them try to share what they're seeing because

they don't want people to call crazy or their family members say never talk about it for a variety reason so there's very few that actually talk about it and I'm trying to share the information about them not prove to people that they're real

the next thing is the smell people say that something came up to them but it couldn't have been a big foot because it didn't smell it didn't have the smell I've smelled the smell here six times

and the smell is going to range, or at least here, is going to range from pure skunk smell. We don't have any skunks here, but it has a pure, they can have a pure skunk, they can have a pure skunk roadkill combination smell. It can have a skunk, um, skunk, wet dog smell, um, or any of them by themselves. And once you smell it, that is imprinted on your brain. And so the next time you smell it, your brain's going to say a big foot's nearby. I promise you, you will never forget it.

But that's the smells that I've smelled here. And I don't know if each one of them has individual smells. But I do know that in the beginning when they were here and I would get close to them, that's when I would smell the smells. The more the trust and respect God, the less we smelled. and as a matter of fact, the last one I smelled was a baby because they got close to a baby. And that was a couple of years ago. So now I don't, they don't have a smell.

So it leads me to believe that they have a gland and can admit it themselves or it's admitted when they get nervous or a little scared would have it. it. So, but I can't believe that they would have it all the time and I know they don't because I've had them, I've heard them coming down trees within 20 yards on me and there was no smell. So they definitely don't have the smell all the time. Not only that, but just think about it. They're hunters, they're hunters and ambush hunters. So if they smell that bad, they would never be able to catch a deer because the deer would smell them from hundreds, of yards off and get away. So they can't smell like that all the time. But I really think that the more they got to know us and know that we were safe, it quit rising to the point to where the smell would come out. Or maybe they were just introducing themselves to me at the beginning and didn't do at the end. I don't know exactly the reason, but I do think it's a gland that it comes from,

sore like a skunk has. What causes the smell come out? Not sure, but they don't do it all the time. So that's something that a lot of people ask about the smell. And again, what I'm telling you is from

big old patterns. So what these things I'm telling you are the patterns that I'm seeing and then what I hear from others, I put to the test with the patterns and see what matches. the most. One of the next thing is

people ask me about the breeding time because since we had a nursery site, we've had 11 babies here. Out of the 11 babies, now, the baby prints four inches and four and a half inches long. And we've had 11 different babies here. Nine of the 11 have been during these three months.

period. Then we've had one in the middle of October and we had one the first week of December, but all the others would be in the spring and early summer of when they would be born. Now, that's when they would show up here. Now, do they do that just because that's when they were coming to the nursery, or do they all do that? I think that, I think that, I think, they do have a breeding season, much like deer do, but I think that they can breed any time they won't if a female comes into estrus or heat. So that's another thing that people ask me a lot. I want to talk, I want to tell about something that happened to me that backs up what so many people say. One night, I was, uh, I was, uh,

got up around, it was probably around 2.30 in the morning to go to the bathroom. And when I go to the bathroom and the dog's bark, then I always open the door to see if I can hear any vocalizations or hear anything like that. A lot of times they would come right behind

the bathroom and even tap on the window for some reason they seem to know when I'm there. But I opened the door. All of a sudden I started hearing something sniffed. Now, what was sniffing me could not have been anything but a big foot. And the reason I say that is, this sniff had so much volume going into the body.

And it was so long. It was 12. It was a minimum of 9 to 12 seconds filling up his lungs. And it sounded like he was sucking in his skull. fast as he could, he or she could, and the volume going in was astounding. And I think a lot of people, when you see pictures of them, most of them have the jet-shaped nose where it's real wide at the bottom, I think it's so wide is because it has to be big enough to take that area. then I close the door and I tried to breathe in as I could.

As hard as I could, it lasted three seconds. So think about that. It's at least three to four times the volume air going into their lungs than what we have going into our lungs. And that backs up what people say that their lung capacity is just huge. And I've just been lucky enough to have that instance one time for me to learn exactly how much that's true. I mean, that was crazy. I mean, even if I take it in slow, I can't get more than four or five seconds. I mean, it was just crazy.

The amount of volume that it was breathing in at a time. the other thing that is amazed me so much about is I was talking about the pond and when you step into the pond it's got a drop of two to three feet now for me I'm six four for me to step out of the pond I would have to have something to pull on and I may even have to be on my knee and then pull myself out and then stand up When they step by the pond, they step up and their first step is one and a half to two foot past the edge. I don't know how they do that. The strength of the size that they have to be, the strength of the thighs and the flexibility to be able to pull their leg up that much, number one, and reach out and then lift the weight on one leg.

I do know that most people agree that they have a forward lean to them, so they're waiting and it's more out front. But the street, when I see that happening with an adult, I'm just shaking my head. I'm like, there's no way I could do anything like that. None possible. How in the world they do it? Because there's nothing around for them to pull up on. They just raise their leg up, step out, and walk out upon.

I thought that was absolutely amazing the strength that they have in their legs and flexibility they have in their legs. I honestly believe it almost has to be attached differently to do that. But again, I have no way of knowing that. So the next thing I learned, I learned this early on is their arm length.

Their arm link is crave. is crazy. When we first made the Gifting Station, I wanted to get some good footprints. This was before they started leaving them on their own. So I dissed around the Gifting Station

to break up the ground so I could get good footprints. I used a five foot wide disc, and of course I didn't hit the edge of the thing, and I did it three or four times, so it probably went out a little more. So I missed a

that it went out six foot on all sides. Well, when we got the corner post up to the gifting station, I'd already been giving them apples. I decided to put an apple on each corner post. There were four by fours when they were 10 foot long. So by the time you plant it in the ground, it was probably nine foot, something like that. So I put an apple on the top of each of the corner post.

because I wanted to get some good footprints. What amazed me was, when I went back down there, there were no footprints. But the apples were gone. It hadn't rained. It had only been two days. The only print I saw was a squirrel print in one corner. But I saw no footprint.

None have been disguised. None was in there at all. It was amazing. I said, like, how did they get these apples? And then I looked and out from the corner of each one on the grass was stout down and flattened. And I said, wait a second. That means one was standing here, had to reach six foot to give the apple off that

post and eat it. I said, that is crazy. So then I did a little study. I learned things by using common sense and reasonable deduction. Okay, I'm not a scientist. I'm not, I don't use any true scientific method. I try to use common sense.

So what I did was I'm tall, I'm 6'4 and have long arms. My arms are 32 inches long. so if you take my arms at 32 inches long my arms are 42% the length of my height now for me to reach down to my knee and get my hands where it's just you know not all the way on my knee but the fingers about halfway on the fingers is on the knees to be another eight inches so that means um their hands would have had to been 40 inches long and if one was the height of me and they was 40 inches long that's 53% of their body length is what their arm length is. Now I don't take anything else into account. I'm just taking height person's height and arm length versus where the arms are. A lot of people say the

knees are lower which could be but even it could be a little bit more than that because they have basically their neck is a lot shorter than ours is. So their shoulders would be higher on their body than what ours

would be if you have a shorter neck with the same height. But anyway the expedition Bigfoot one time they had this lady on that would look at the height they said that they had

way to determine by its foot length. So I used the measurements that she gave. The male's footwork is 19.5 inches long. I took the 19.5 inches by her formula. It said that that one individual was going to be 12 foot 3 inches tall. So when I took that times of 53% it said that its arm length, would have been six and a half foot, 6.49 inches. And I'm like, that's crazy.

If it was a big male that was standing here, which I couldn't make any impression out because so much of it was just flattened, if it was that big male, each over there, give those apples and eat them. So their arm length is incredible. I mean, and that kind of backed it up. because they could have grabbed that.

There's no way that they could have jumped up in the air, grabbed an apple, and then landed on the other side. You're talking about a jump of over 20 feet and then over the thing to get it. So it had to be just pure arm length. Now, one of the questions that some people have is, at the nursery site that we had. What did they make for the babies to stay in?

Well, the two people that were here putting cameras out or the people that are putting the cameras out, people I trust that I know that I know that are going to give the location away. I didn't tell them about where the mom didn't tell them about where they stay. There's areas in the woods that I don't go into. They feel like it's theirs. I feel like it's theirs,

so I don't go into it. it. So I didn't go in there at all. But I knew that the mom stayed up on top of a ridge and at the base of the hill, they had pushed a big tree down and had something there that the little ones were staying in, and the mom from top of the hill could look right down on the bates. So what they found was there was one blind that was made. It was woven in there, and it was really tall, but it was woven there, and it had trails going on both sides of it and meeting in front of it, and there were holes on it facing the trails.

Then, a little bit further down, right below where the mom stayed, there was a huge, huge structure there, a huge blind there. they had to basically they said it was like a two-room apartment they said you had to bend over to go into it but you go into it you can stand up with cleaning a room and one section had branches in between it

like a nursery and after they told me that all the stuff in there was fresh leaves and it all been flattened and they told me that about the impression they got was in a nursery, you know, where a baby stayed. And I said, yeah, you're right.

I said, because the mom stayed up on top of the hill, she had something up there that's now clear-cut. She was on the seniors to be able to keep eye on the babies. And I would think that in that other hide was either where they were, one would grab food or maybe even was like a day watcher, to protect things from going that way trying to protect them so they have the amazing abilities to create structures and weave it together that I don't know how they learn to do it I guess over time you would learn to do it but they said it was incredible they just said it was huge it was like a two-room apartment it was huge so they actually make things to

live in. Now, I do know that there are some abandoned structures in that area that I don't go in. So some of them may stay in those abandoned structures also. But I think that was made during the nursery time for the banks to stay in. Let's see. I've got a lot of other things that have happened that I didn't talk about. One of them was really neat, the Trenox. In the very big, beginning, when we would go to the pond, at least every other time, there was by a stream, there was a huge tree and one would do a tree. And I always thought it was probably a day watcher, letting them know that I was, we were down there. But after a while, when we got to where they knew us, something really strange happened. Now, I knew where the, because she would always do an

alcohol up there on top, after the tree nod, she would do an alcohol from up there on top of the hill. and what was crazy about this time was this was right at the beginning of when they started a new nursery. And I think that was a new one over there that not. Because it knocked, the mom did an alcohol from the top of the hill. Then the one not began. Then the mom did another alcohol from top of the hill. About one in the afternoon that this was happening. Then there was another tree knock.

And then from the top of the hill, the mom was upset. It went something like this. To let the one know that don't do that, you know, they're good. Stop doing that. Do you know that ever since that one thing happened, they have never tree knot again. at us from the pond area. Never we had a tree knot down there at the pond. Now we know that there

we can see where they're going in and out of pond. They never had a tree knock. So I thought that was really really neat. The one other thing I'll tell you about the vocalizations. Their vocalizations are incredible. They have the ability to mimic

anything. Even on the Sierra sounds, I think that they said that they thought they heard the whole, all their pots and pans being destroyed. Next morning, nothing had happened. I heard other people say they're out 10 miles in the woods that they had to ride horses out, and they heard car doors slam. But there's no cars out there. As a matter of fact, a lot of times when the little ones would let us know they were around, we would be at the pond and where the blinds were, the little ones day, we would hear a horse and my wife got so excited, can you want a horse?

She said, there's a horse over there. We can go get it. I just shook my head, said, babe, that's not a horse. Heard another horse witty at the same spot. And she goes, there's a horse over there. Let's go catch it and get it. I said, babe, that is too thick. There is no horse over there.

That's them letting us know. that they're there. There is no horse over there. There's no horses around us. There's there was no horse over there. It did it those two times and didn't do it again, but I thought that was the only thing that that's even stranger than that though. We went to the pond one time and this was also around the nursery time at the beginning of it. 20 yards from us. I wouldn't turn the switch on for the pump, the pumps water into the pond.

20 yards from us, the most beautiful, soothing, relaxing, incredible whistle you ever heard. My wife goes, and this 20 yards from us is behind some briar bushes. My wife goes,

did you hear that? I said, yeah. And she goes, that's the most, relaxing beautiful whistle I've ever heard in my life. Said yeah, it is. And then it did it a third time. And I said to my wife, I said, why don't you whistle back to it?

So my wife whistle back to it. And behind that hill that's down at the pond about 40 yards from it, the mom or a day watcher, one of them snapped a branch. And I'm like, oops, we're in trouble. And she goes, why? I said, well, that branch was either being snapped to let the one know that they're there to protect them. Or they're letting us know that, hey, don't be fooling around with one of the babies. She goes, I'm not.

But I might take that baby to say in the house because if I get, ever got bad, you could do that a couple of times and I'd be calm down. I said, ooh, don't say that. Don't say that. She didn't mean that. He didn't mean that. But I've actually heard bird calls that are lasting 10 to 12 seconds straight, not stop, that are most beautiful bird calls I've ever heard but are not from any bird call that I know.

And I always wonder now when I hear that, is that from that same one that was making that whistle sound? I don't know, but that whistle and some of those bird whistles I've heard, are just unbelievable how beautiful they are. Jeremiah, do you have any questions? I've got a bunch more things that I have, but I'm doing this out of my head. Do you have anything that you want to ask me, that people have asked you or things that you have seen?

And I am testing my microphone. Oh, my goodness. I am into some terrible... Let me go and talk about another event that happened. Can you even hear me right now? In my scariest moments, one of the things that startled me the most in the beginning was, I call it my Jurassic Park moment. Before I knew that there were going to be a nursery site,

I found out that whenever the mail, the mail again is not here all the time. time. The male comes and goes. But what I found out was that the male will, mother has a baby. When the female has a baby here, he would be here for one to two weeks. While she's taking care of the baby, feeding the baby and everything, he'll be here for Lexi's two to three weeks. Not one to two, it's two to three weeks. One time, I got home from work. I was frustrated. Had a hard day at work, so I decided to just go there and cool off. So I was on my side of the side, sitting at the pond at one end of the pond.

At the other end, behind the hill, they have a huge trail. It's starting to get dark, roosted. And I called it one of my Jurassic Park moments because of the fact that it reminds me of an event in Jurassic Park. All of a sudden, I'm sitting there, and I can hear and feel vibrations coming from the ground, impact vibrations of something bipedal, and it's coming from behind the hill at the other end.

Now, I don't know how in the world they do this. This is 70 yards away, and I'm filling these footprints, its foot, these cells hit the ground and the vibrations from the side by side with the suspensions

and the seat, I can feel it vibrating the seat from it. It gets to where the beginning of the trail is behind the pond and there's two huge trees, one on each side. It reached and somehow was

touching both trees at the same time and was swaying them back and forth. Both 40 to 50 foot tall are swaying back and forth. I'm like, man, the reach in the street it takes to do that. I mean, you'd have to have two

machines to do that. Not one thing. Then it started going a little bit further, but it was behind the hill and I couldn't see it. And then all of a sudden the doves start flying out of the trees in front of. And I didn't

get scared. I didn't feel like I was a stranger. I just got the feeling that I needed to leave, that it wanted to leave. And finally, after he got to the end and started walking up the other side, I'm like, you know, nobody knows that I'm here. Nobody knows where I'm at.

It's getting dark. I probably should go ahead and leave, and I did. But that's not the only time I felt those vibrations like that. One time we went on an expedition, they I was in the tent in one night and this is a little bit of funny thing that happened on it. We were in the tent, my wife and I. And I was sleeping on one side.

She was sleeping on the other. And we had behind the tent, we had a portal it out there where we could go. And all of a sudden, I hear something walking outside of our tent on her side. So I'm trying to warn her that something's over there. look to see her and it looks like she's bundled up in the sheets and the comforter and stuff and I said babe babe because I can see the shadow going against the tent it's right there by the tent babe babe and she goes yeah then I realized it's her outside the tent going to use the bathroom and I said oh that's crazy that's crazy I just got tricked I just got to

tricked but the very next night that we were there I didn't get tricked that time because two o'clock two 15 in the morning I founding again like I'd heard and felt at our place coming up from a creek and it was going right by where I decide that I lay on now I had a glass of water and it was half now that I drank half of it and it's sitting on a lot. I'm looking at it as this thing is walking next to the tent.

Boom. Boom. Boom. And every time you would hit, you would see the water shake on the top of it. Like in the one Jurassic part that they had where the water

was shaking at the impact things. It was the exact same. I don't know what I would have done if it decided to stop right by the tent. but it kept going by but it was making sure that I knew and

for the opportunity I have no idea they're making those impact things so that you can feel it and hear it I just don't

I don't have an idea how they do that at all and one other thing I'll go back to their

size of their hands the size of their hands are crazy I've seen one hand friend down by the Gibson station that was a half inches long and it was one and a half to two times as wide of each of my fingers

I mean they were huge but there was another time that we had to re-roof our house a storm had to come by and blown off like 200 tiles all off of our roof.

They the towel and dropped it off early one morning about six o'clock and they had boxes on top that had like the roof and vans and stuff like that in boxes on the top of it.

Well, the supervisor of that group came by and looked at it. He was actually here when they dropped it off and then he came back later that afternoon to check on it. and he called me and said, Hey, has anybody been here?

And I said, I alluded on the camera. We had a camera on the road. And I said, no, nobody else has been here since y'all dropped the tiles off. He said, that's weird. Because there is a stick stuck into the roofing. And the boxes on top, how they handprint that Andre, the giant, couldn't make. There's a dirty handprint. was pushing it.

And there's a dirty hamprint on the box. He said, I've never seen a hamprint that big. I said, okay, I knew what it was. When they see something strange, they always check it out here. They always go and investigate it and check it out. Later, that supervisor calls me, he had evidently gone over to the side of the creek in the area that I don't go into

that I consider their area. He went over there. He said he he said that he was going over there to use a bathroom while the guys were doing the roof. I don't know. I think he was, I think he had figured out

he had seen some footprints in the yard and figured out that maybe they're a big foot here and was going over there and check it out. He said, hey, do you have any kids that play in the woods and I'm like no where he said if you go down your trail go across the creek over there to the right I said no that's an area I don't go into so no we don't have any kids to play in that area I said he said there's an area in there that's

probably he said just huge area and there's no sticks on the ground everything's flattened blocks down there and when he's talking about the Lego blocks he's talking about the building blocks when I was young that has like the the sticks to make little houses and stuff with that are wide and they're different colors and he said that there were girls yellow softballs down there there were a couple of basketballs down there and a couple of buckets down there he says like they've been kids have been playing down there and I said no our kids don't go down there he said that was just weird because something had been in there playing and that also was around

the nursery time so in my mind I knew what it was the little ones were down there and everything was flattened off and they were playing down there. I picture how when I was young we would lay they had us sit on the ground and roll a ball to the other and I could see them holding the buckets down the road with a softball. on the ground and them catching it in the bucket. That's what I can picture. I was describing. I do know,

this time, because we were here several years before they let us know they were here. For several years at the basketball goal, where the basketball was, the basketballs would disappear. They would be gone. And forever, I was blaming the kids for it. I don't know, dude. I'm pretty sure we got the interview though but I don't know

it was like you started talking about the nursery and then everything just went crazy on my end it was nuts it was really weird I'm sure there's just a coincidence but it was just is very strange dude I think we definitely got a lot of good

information for an interview but I mean when you were asking me when I was there, like 10, 15 minutes ago, I was trying to talk to you and it wouldn't let me talk to you. It was the weirdest thing. I know. I couldn't hear a thing. I do have a question to ask you. I was going to ask you a few minutes ago, but do you have any plan in place to try to make things safer for the Bigfoot? Because you said there were people that are trying to shoot into your property. I've kind of communicated to them where they need to be, but they're starting to shoot at night

with night vision scopes and stuff on to our property. And so it's like this whole thing is like, you know, like I said, there's four different bottoms that come into this one spot. So they travel through here all the time. And I don't know how to stop that. I thought, well, maybe I need to call the cops. You know, because I can tell they're shooting down onto the property. All you're going to do is chap them off anymore and you can't prove anything.

Right. I can hear, because I hunt it all the time. I know they're shooting from the ridge down onto our property because they clear cut everything else. But how do I prove to a cop that they're shooting down there? Then what do I do to say, yeah, they're shooting a big foot. You know, that's not going to work. So I don't really know how to When the leaves start coming back on

Then they'll be more protected That's the reason why before when they had that property They would stay in that property in the daytime Because they have more pines in that property They would stay there in the daytime But they would come back here at night So I don't know what I can do to protect them You know

they don't want anybody around the area. I can't go and put security guard around the place. So I don't know. I thought about all I can do is try to communicate with them and let them know where they are. And then all of a sudden I find this hide in the field right next to our place where nobody has been shooting looking at the gifted station.

I'm like, wow. Right. And then I look at a picture of that field and it wasn't there two months earlier. So I'm like, well, at least they're not. the area they're getting shot at, you know? Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

It's... So it's amazing they're trying to stay here. It's totally amazing that they're still trying to stay here with all that they're going through, right? With the habitat destruction, people shooting at them. I'm truly blessed that they're still trying to stay here. Absolutely. It is a fascinating.

you know, story to see how things are unfolding, you know, as you go back to the beginning and now you go back to how things are now. And I'm sure, you know, people will be able to follow along

as you are releasing, you know, different books in the series of five. You'll probably be sharing more information. I know the one you sent me, there's even pictures in it from around the property, which is really cool. I do want to...

I try to take pictures of it as a proof source. Now, pictures don't look as good as what your eyes see. You know, your eyes three in three dimensions. The pictures are one-dimensional. So they don't see. You're not seeing as clearly as I can see it. Because like the one with the chair in the pond, if you would have seen, if I would have backed up a little bit in hindsight's 2020,

so you can see the other chair just like you just sitting there, not moved and then you see that one in the water sitting straight up and down, you're like, how did you flip in there and end up straight up and down on a two foot, two to three foot vertical drop and it ends up being straight up and down and the other one didn't even move and it's right beside it. Right. You know? Yeah.

It's wild, wild stuff. I do want to also mention that you have bigfoot talk.com, the website, and listeners can get a lot of really good information. on that. But if you want something where you can actually hold it in your hands and take it on a trip or something,

you've got the books as well, which is great. But Neil, thank you so much for coming on the show. You did a... You were at a conference,

right? You had done a presentation at a conference. We did a conference last March. And we were going to try to do it every year. But then I had some health issues come up last year. Thank goodness I'm over it now. Plus, I was trying to take care

of my mom at the same time. So that's when I think the second one, or anyway, I wasn't able to get out as much as I had been in the past because my mom had stayed in the hospital and I was there with her and I caught a bacteria and ended up turning septic. And then it got into my toe and got into the bone. So I had to get that toe amputated to stop it from getting the rest of my body. So I went through that last year.

And then another one got infected from it, but that one we were able to save. So I had a little rough year last year or so. The conference, I put it on hold. I'm trying to maybe do it at another location the next time we do it.

But I don't want to abandon it. I just want to, with all that I had going on, I've had to try to take care of my health first to make sure that gets back. Yeah, 100%. I mean, you made the right choice. You got to make sure that there's only one Neil out there. You know, you got to take care of Neil for sure. But I'm just, I'm glad you were able to come on on the show today and share such an interesting update. Be interesting to see where things go from here. But is there anything else? Any other things that you would like listeners to know about how they can keep up to date with what you've got going on with Bigfoot Talk? Well, I try to put a lot of the things that I see into the Bigfoottalk.com Facebook page. The Bigfoot Talk.com on the internet tells you a lot about the patterns and stuff that you can see and what people think has caused it. And of course, the first book that says,

Understanding Bigfoot, I've got a detail of what you can expect, camping, fishing, hunting, hiking, what you can expect to happen from them. And then at the end, it goes over all the patterns that are different than what other animals do. Wow, it may be, why they may do it. What's the best way to handle it?

That's why I did that book. And now I'm starting this five book series that is covering things that have happened here while we've been here with pictures, if I have pictures of it at the time, so that I can share with everybody what we have seen and what we've learned about them. Because I think it's important for people to share what they learn. I think it's a shame for people to try to hide everything that they're seeing and not telling other people about it.

Because the only way we're going to figure this out is by sharing, the information. I agree 100%. Yeah, the only way we'll be able to figure out what's going on in this field is everyone starts to share information. And I know that's

there's a few ways to look at that, but that's how I feel on it. But Neil Ryder, thank you so much for coming on the show. We will definitely be keeping in touch with you in the future and good luck with you and the Sasquatch family that's

on your property. Thank you so much, and I hope you have a great night. Have you ever heard all the accounts of Bigfoot activity around Oak Ridge, Oregon, and you think to yourself, man, I would love to get out in those woods and experience it for myself. Well, guess what? This year, you can. If this is interesting to you, stay tuned because it's pretty cool. Sasquatch Summerfest is coming up July 10th through the 11th,

It's going to be even better than the previous years. Reason number one, I'll be one of the speakers. It's going to be wild. I'll probably, I'll say this. There may be stuff you haven't heard anywhere else because, let's just say sometimes it's, well, you just got to be there. We'll leave it that. More about looking for Bigfoot in the Oak Ridge Woods. Now check this out.

You may know Jason Kenzie. from his documentary series searching for Sasquatch. Well, this year, you can not only go to the festival, but you can also sign up for a trek deep in the wild forest outside of Oak Ridge with Jason Kenzie to the Bigfoot spots to look for Bigfoot. There's only eight spots to sign up for this. And yes, this will also be filmed for the next chapter in his dog. documentary series, which is searching for Sasquatch. This is a once-in-lifetime

We can talk about your encounter. I was able to talk to so many people last year and the year before. It is an incredible time. You're not going to want to miss it. And I'll see you there. Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch, or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a national park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI, a federal agency, or working intelligence, and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about, and if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't know.

make sense. If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field or trucker with government contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report, if you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't then i want to talk to you even if it's anonymous you can reach me at bigfoot society at gmail.com the world needs to hear what you've been forced to carry alone and you're not alone you've got the story we've got the mic see you in the woods
