Tonight's guest is one that didn't grow up looking for monsters, but monsters may have been looking for him. It started in the woods of Oregon when the scream ripped through the trees and sent two fearless dogs running seven miles in the wrong direction. There's many accounts shared in this episode, including one visual description, which is the most detailed, I've ever heard in my years of doing this show. This is a story of Stefan and the creature who stared back on the shores of Washington.
Starting point is 00:02:05 So stay with us. All right, Bigfoot Society. We've got the privilege of talking to Stefan today. Stefan is an individual who's a listener of the podcast, reached out about a lot of really interesting things that have been happening throughout his life. So we'll be talking about that today. Welcome to the show. Stefan.
Starting point is 00:02:24 How are you doing, sir? I'm doing well, thank you. I am really interested to see where this interview will go. You've told me a little bit about what we're getting into. And yeah, I'd say let's go ahead and feel free to take us as far back as you need to when things out of the ordinary start happening in your life. And we'll kind of go through the journey together and then see where we end up. Okay. So I came to your podcast because I began doing some research about Bigfoot for myself because I had several experiences that didn't make sense to me.
Starting point is 00:03:15 When I was a kid, I experienced some interesting things. you know it's it's one of these situations where I have to ask do you want to take the blue pill or the red pill the blue pill is that these are um i think the blue pill is i think the the the experiences of bigfoot and so forth can be viewed through the lens of that they're a physical being and that they will act and respond according to natural law. The red pill is that there's a whole lot of other stuff going on
Starting point is 00:03:59 in a universe that we can't explain and our attempt to really understand the subject of Bigfoot may only come once we have a closer communication
Starting point is 00:04:16 field open with an actual society of Bigfoot. I don't know how you say Bigfoot or Big feet. Because it also seems that Bigfoot are
Starting point is 00:04:34 very different in different parts of the world as far as what I understand. I don't know a whole lot about Bigfoot. Let me put it that way. I only know what I've learned from research and heard over a year podcast and a couple others as well as searching on the internet. And it seems to be that there is a lot of known markers or commonalities amongst things,
Starting point is 00:05:04 but there still also seems to be a great deal of unknowns. And so I'm in the group, along with most everybody else, I would say, is that we don't really know. So when I was a kid, I started experiencing paranormal things. And some of this will sound very bizarre. But I would wake in the middle of the night floating out of my bed in midair. And then I would fall in the floor. I also experienced a paralysis in my body until I was probably 12 where I'd be awake in my body,
Starting point is 00:05:56 but I couldn't move my body. I have studied since out-of-body experiences and especially the work of the Monroe Institute and come to learn that a great deal of these experiences are maybe not common, but they're known and understood. But the point of bringing this up is that from the time I was a young kid, I was questioning exactly what was going on in the universe. And then when other things happened and I questioned my own experiences, it sort of propelled me into researching and understanding,
Starting point is 00:06:38 or at least trying to understand what was going on. Later in my life, I had a deer death experience and had, experiences from that that help propel me forward to understanding a little more but again I'm going to stipulate that I don't profess to know it all and that especially comes to Bigfoot so my first
Starting point is 00:07:03 I've had I believe what are several run-ins with this species or entity or beings in different ways and so the first one when I was about I was about 11 and a half to 12 because we were I know that because we were living outside of Klamath Falls, Oregon. We had moved out into a big
Starting point is 00:07:36 valley in the woods. We were only one of I believe two houses out there. My parents had built one house for their business partner and then one house that we ended up moving into. We had about 100 acres. There was a valley that we sort of lived in that was kind of an open space, but then the rest of it was deep woods. And then about maybe eight miles away, there was a like somebody had developed a trailer court, a trailer park. Anyway, as a kid, I used to just, you know, we raised livestock and so forth. My parents hunted and fished and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:22 We all did. So being in the woods was, you know, just an everyday occurrence. I spent all my hours when I wasn't doing chores out in the woods. I was fascinated with birds, especially hawks and stellar jays, which are those dark blue jays that make a lot of noise through the forest. And I was always trying to follow these birds and get a closer look because as I'm an artist, and so I was always trying to get closer to these animals so that I could draw them, because when I went to the library and checked out books on birds and stuff,
Starting point is 00:09:04 they had pretty decent photographs, but I always wanted to get closer to sort of observe them in more detail. So I had a natural curiosity in that way. And before we had moved to Cloudwood Falls, we had lived in Death Valley, California, and I had spent hours and hours out in the desert looking at animals. I used to catch all kinds of animals just to observe them and then release them. But anyway, when we were on this property in Clavent Falls, Wyoming, I mean, it was routine that I just went out into the forest and I would sit or I would follow some animal as quietly as possible to see if I could get close to it. And we had two dogs, and these two dogs were just, you know, great dogs, but they also, they were brother and sister.
Starting point is 00:09:58 They also were seemingly not afraid really to get into anything. I remember they got into a porcupine. They got in a fight with a coyote that lasted for hours at night around our house. So they were pretty scrappy little dogs. And one particular day, when this first experience happened, I just went for a walk out in the woods. And what that meant was that our house that was already in the woods at the edge of this valley,
Starting point is 00:10:35 I just walked directly behind our house and I just kept walking. There was no trails. There was nothing. And I did this quite often, but this particular day I walked along ways. I remember I walked for a couple hours, which was, you know,
Starting point is 00:10:51 I wasn't going fast. I was stopping every once in a while looking for, you know, chipmunks or birds or whatever. But I do remember it was probably about two hours into the hike and my two dogs are just, you know, just, you know, tagging along with me, sniffing everything. And I remember we saw a,
Starting point is 00:11:16 my dogs walked right past a night hawk. I think they're called night hawks. It's this bird that lives in the ground. It has a little nest in the ground. And because I was pretty observant, I just happened to see it. and they just walked right past it. They didn't know what was there.
Starting point is 00:11:34 And then it ended up flying out. But anyway, we were at about that juncture and something screamed extremely loud. I remember as a kid, I was pretty good at judging distances because I remember, you know, we'd go up berry picking or hunting. or, you know, other things out in the woods and you would hear noises or, you know, because there's no traffic out there, you can kind of judge how far something was away. If my memory serves me, I would guess that the scream I heard was probably 500 to 800 yards away from me. it wasn't close but it wasn't that far away
Starting point is 00:12:30 but it was I knew it wasn't human and I knew it wasn't well at the time I guessed that it was like a cougar or something I had no but I'd never heard a cat
Starting point is 00:12:48 make that sort of a noise it was a the best way I could sum it up is it was a scream and a growl and uh yeah probably a scream and a growl combined and it was just really loud i mean it was so loud and what i immediately felt after it happened was to get home that was it i immediately thought i get need to get out of here and um when the scream happened my dogs they were standing in front of me, one on pretty much either side, about three feet apart. When the scream happened,
Starting point is 00:13:35 they looked at me. And then I just looked down at them and my instinct was to go home. And I said, go home to the dogs. And they just immediately headed back toward our house. Now I was 11, 12 years old. I just assumed the dogs knew their way home. But evidently, they didn't because we ended up at that trailer park, you know, about, it was probably about five or six, seven miles from our house. And it took us a long time to get back. I remember that because it was dark when we got to that trailer park and had to knock on somebody's door and ask them to call my parents. This is back when, when you actually knew somebody's phone number because there was no cell phones. But, so anyway, then my parents drove down and picked me up.
Starting point is 00:14:27 And, you know, I never really thought that much about that experience. At the time, I just thought, I just chalked it up and thought, well, I must have been some sort of, I knew it wasn't a bear because I didn't think bears made screams. I knew that cougars or mountain lions would scream. But the volume of the scream was so loud. I could tell it was a great distance away but it was so loud it was almost as if
Starting point is 00:14:57 if it was a mountain lion it was next to me it was like within 100 feet but I knew it wasn't because I could tell the distance that it had traveled so
Starting point is 00:15:10 you know I'm sure I must have mentioned it to my parents but anyway and I I used to sleep Now, this was after we had been at that house for about a year and a half, maybe two years. I can't remember exactly, but it was soon after this, you know, within, I'm trying to remember, but within a few months, I think, or maybe a year that my parents moved. I never thought of it as a kid because we moved a lot.
Starting point is 00:15:48 We moved, I think, 13 times by the time I was 15 and moved out of my own. But years later, this was in, I think, 1999 or 2000, I went down to visit my mother who was living in another state. And during that visit, I don't remember how it came up. I think she brought it up I wouldn't have brought it up because Bigfoot wasn't even in my sort of spectrum of thinking I literally haven't really
Starting point is 00:16:25 thought about Bigfoot much my whole life until probably the last two years but she brought up the fact that in that house one night
Starting point is 00:16:40 she peered in to one of one of our bedrooms. I was one of two other siblings, so there was three of us. She peered into one of our bedrooms, probably just to check on us to see if we were asleep or whatever. What if you could get more from what you already do?

Starting point is 00:19:17 and she was trembling when she told me this, and this is, I don't know, 20 years, 25 years after. her the fact. And this is a woman who hunted and fished her entire life. She has had all kinds of stories about getting chased up trees by moose and, I mean, all kinds of stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:42 These were farmers or ranchers. That's born and bred. I mean, that's for generations. So she wasn't a woman who was afraid of really much of anything, I don't believe. As far as the animal world, and she said she looked into peer in the bedroom and that house was a one-story concrete block house
Starting point is 00:20:08 with two fireplaces, one at each end. The bedrooms were on one side of the house for us kids in a line, and then on the other side of the house was their bedroom and a living room. And when she said she saw a, a black creature
Starting point is 00:20:29 looking in the window and it had reddish eyes and she said that its whole head took up the entire window and I remember
Starting point is 00:20:44 the windows in our bedrooms they were probably I'm you know this isn't exact but I do have a photo actually at my place yeah I was just looking through some photos the other day. I think I have a photo
Starting point is 00:20:57 of one of the windows. But I think the windows were probably 24 by 30, just small windows. Whatever would fit in easily with a concrete block construction. But she said she could tell that the creature was bent down and looking in, by the way
Starting point is 00:21:15 its head was positioned and talked a little bit. And those windows would be probably at six feet height. So if it was bending down and looking in, and I remember the eaves of the house were probably 24 inches, and the ceiling height was 8, I believe. I do construction, so I kind of remember some basic things. So if it was bending down looking in the window, I would presume it was at least taller than 6 feet, potentially 7 feet, or who knows how much taller.
Starting point is 00:21:53 There's no way for me to know because I didn't see it. but as she told me this, and this was in the daylight, I was there with my ex, we were just having general conversation, but as soon as she started talking about this memory, she was visibly shaken, and this was like 25 years later. So, again, I didn't think that much about it at the time, other than the fact, well, she attributed to being a demon because she's, you know, very religious Christian and that's kind of her beliefs. If it isn't
Starting point is 00:22:31 a known creature, then it must be a devil. So, anyway, she said it was very hairy. It was black. It's had a huge head that filled basically the window. It was bent down. Obviously, having to
Starting point is 00:22:51 look in, you know, so I'm trying to give you as much information because I know from your interviews you go back and question people and ask about things so I'm trying to give you detail she didn't mention that she saw its teeth or anything else
Starting point is 00:23:06 she just mentioned that it looked very evil which to me I could perceive that maybe it just had a straight look on its face because other people described the big foot to have some of them don't have any expression so they look very serious and when people
Starting point is 00:23:22 look serious people think they're mad had, but they potentially aren't. They just don't have any expression on their face. So it's hard to say. But anyway, my family ended up moving after that, not long after that. And it was only in the last couple of years I've been thinking about that. I thought, I wonder if that's why they moved. Because she was so visibly shaken 20, 25 years later, it must have really shaken then.
Starting point is 00:23:54 There was another incident I remember at that same house. My brother came in from hunting one time. He was out hunting deer. And he said a deer ran past him and one of its hind legs was completely detached and only hanging by the skin. And then he had tried to pursue it. It was running on three legs. he tried to pursue it and to excuse me harvest it
Starting point is 00:24:30 because it was obviously injured but he couldn't find it at least I don't remember that he found it but now looking back I think that's highly unusual I remember that he thought that a hunter might have shot it in the back leg and then the leg was slopping but
Starting point is 00:24:53 knowing anatomy me, at least my best guess is that it doesn't really sound correct because he said its leg was actually flopping over its back as it was hopping. And that sounds more like to me maybe something grabbed it and wrenched on it so hard, you know, maybe it was a big foot, who knows? We'll never know. So I'm trying to think if there was anything else from that house. house. I don't think so. I think that was it.
Starting point is 00:25:31 So I heard the scream. My mother saw something. And then we moved. So whatever all that means. But I do remember that that scream was something that made me physically just want to leave. And again, of course, if you heard a cougar or bear, you'd do the same. I did come face to face with a bear one time, and my immediate response was to run. It was literally three feet in front of me. I had gone down into a push-up position to drink out of a creek that was filled with reeds, like cat-tails and stuff. I was with my grandparents looking at a piece of property, and I just went down a push-up position.
Starting point is 00:26:19 I was a young team probably about two years after this, and was sucking up the water, something lapping the water that started directly after I started and I looked up and I was looking directly in the eyes of a black there and its eyes got bigger and you can see the whites of its eyes and
Starting point is 00:26:40 obviously mine did the same I ran one direction and it ran the other so the second thing that I next thing I experienced was in about 2000, I went camping when I was married.
Starting point is 00:27:05 And my ex and I went camping outside of Bend, I think it was outside of Bend, Oregon. Yeah, I was outside of Bend, Oregon. And we just, we were visiting some relatives of hers, and we had decided to camp in a tent overnight. And it was a very dry area. there were trees around but not as like thickly packed as like you'd have around Portland, Oregon
Starting point is 00:27:31 or climate falls, but they were there was a lot of trees. We were up on sort of a some sort of a rise of a hill or a bluff if you will because when we looked out the tent the landscape went down and then you could see for a while.
Starting point is 00:27:48 And in the middle of the night when we were camping I woke up, which I usually don't, especially at that age. Now I'm 60, so I do wake up more often than I used to. But at that age, this is 25 years ago, I normally would just sleep completely through the night. Nothing to wake me up. My parents used to have a saying that, you know, don't try to talk to our youngest before they had breakfast,
Starting point is 00:28:20 because I would just be sort of a zombie until I got some food in me. So I would just sleep through the night. But anyway, I woke up in the middle of the night inside the tent, and the tent was filled with the worst stench and putrid smell. I mean, it just smelled like a dead body to me. Like if you came upon like a dead cow or coyote, even a snake when it's dead just stinks
Starting point is 00:28:52 it was just the most putrid smell and it was just filling the tent and when I woke up I remember propping myself up on my elbow and my elbow was next to
Starting point is 00:29:11 and my sleep bag was next to where the tent top came down to meet the ground where it attaches to the bottom of the tent so there's a little corner there, you know, all the way around the tent. And so my arm is on the sleeping bag next to the bottom of the tent.
Starting point is 00:29:29 And besides this, once I was like, I mean, I was nearly gagging on the smell. I think I was possibly gagging. I smell just like, ugh, you know. I didn't say anything, though. I heard something outside the tent.
Starting point is 00:29:44 And it sounded, the best description I could think of is it sounded like almost as if somebody had broom with hair on it or fur or something soft like that. It wasn't a stiff bristle straw sound like that type of a broom. It was kind of like somebody had a like a softer textured broom, and it was just kind of being moved around next to the tent. And then I could see that the water,
Starting point is 00:30:20 of the tent not far from my elbow was moving and I just reflexively drew my elbow in tighter to my torso and this thing moved like right so if I would have like cut a hole in the tent and looked at it would have been right there inches from me and it paused near my elbow like it paused there and then it and then it continued um around sort of the back of me so i heard it it traveled probably five or six feet because i heard it a little distance away like perhaps it was at the front of the tent maybe not even that far three or four feet because i woke up i smelled the awful the smell. I heard the sound. It came closer. It got really close to me. And then it went just behind me. And then I heard it get softer and softer, I presume, farther and farther away from me. And then the smell gradually went away. The thing that significantly stands out as a marker for me in the whole experience. I've witnessed this in people who have talked in your show and other things,
Starting point is 00:31:55 is that people have this fear that enters their entire physiological being. So your whole body is on alert. You're shaking. You basically fear for your life. It's a fight and flight response. And when I woke up, I was already. in that. So even before I consciously was aware that maybe there was something outside the tent, I already had that physiological response. And when I hear other people talk about this physiological
Starting point is 00:32:31 response, because I've spent a great deal of my life trying to understand our consciousness and unconscious mind and how it operates and our being as souls, we are definitely more than our body, because I've experienced being out of my body. My point is that when this fear or this physiological action happens in the body where you actually are in terror, we could label it as physiological terror. It's a fighting, flight response to get out of there.
Starting point is 00:33:12 To me, my understanding is that it's from our unconscious So our unconscious, as I've come to understand, is awake 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It never sleeps. That's why a person can be put under hypnosis and they can recall all kinds of details from every license plate they saw on their drive home to memories from, you know, years ago. They can remember everything because our unconscious records everything and our conscious is just, you know, it's only tracking it's so much stuff. So I believe that it was an unconscious response that woke me up. My unconscious was aware of this creature, whatever it was, that it was an imminent threat or potential threat because it was more physically or possibly other powerful than myself as a human being. And it woke me up. And then I had that experience. One other experience that I had, well, I've had it more than twice. I've had it actually, I haven't seen her think about it.
Starting point is 00:34:27 I've had it multiple times. What if you could get more from what you already do? As a Shell Fuel Rewards member, that's just a regular weekday evening. You get more rewards, more savings, and more special offers. Earn rewards when shopping, dining out, and fueling up. And all of that becomes fuel savings when you're at the pump. See, there are no extra steps and no changes to your routine, just more value built into it.
Starting point is 00:34:58 It fits naturally into what you already do throughout your day. And all of your savings stack, so you can add them on top of your everyday savings. So wherever your day takes you, you get a little more out of every stop along the way with Shell. Use the Shell app and enjoy life with more. Your nearest shell station is less than five miles away.

Yeah, they were a teenager at that time. They're still a while they're still teenager. But we went to Yosemite for a week and we camped about 10 minutes from the entrance to the Yosemite. It was a nice, close place to hang out.
Starting point is 00:37:12 And everything went fine there. We had a great time. We skateboarded around the whole place. It was just fantastic. But we did take a trail up above the big lodge there. And we didn't go far into nature. But when we were on that trail, and it was getting close to being dark, so the sun was going down, we were losing light. We were on that trail.
Starting point is 00:37:43 My physiological body, it just lit up. Like, there was this intense fear and a fighter flight. You know, we were just on a trail. We could still see the buildings. If we ran hard, we can get to those buildings in fairly quick order. But my youngster was just having fun, you know, doing whatever. And we were joking around. But this physiological change happened in my body.
Starting point is 00:38:16 And I had the intense feeling, I don't know whether it was true or not, but I had this intense feeling that I was being observed. and I was also being tracked. And so I think our unconscious knows, like if what's transpiring in the environment, while our conscious may not be fully aware. But because I was physiologically triggered by something, and then the information I was receiving was that I was being watched and tracked
Starting point is 00:38:54 made me think that there is something actually watching me and tracking me. And I kept looking behind us and at one point I just started walking backwards. Even though we're on a rocky trail, I started walking backwards in case there was like a cougar
Starting point is 00:39:14 or something that was tracking us and following us because I know that they like to stalk from behind. But I never saw anything. And I expedited us leaving quickly. I said, hey, why don't we, you know, trot down to the, there was like some buildings and stuff. And there was a gift store. I said, why don't we just go down there and go to the gift store?
Starting point is 00:39:38 And so we did. But that was the same feeling. And another time, well, I had the feeling several times. And another location, though, was where I actually saw. a creature and that was in Long Beach, Washington. But before, well, mostly after, and that may be tied into my own psychology, I just say that because, you know, once you have an experience, you may, you know, make stuff up in your head, right? So, but I did have, that said, I did have experiences after I saw that creature when, because I worked
Starting point is 00:40:22 up there for about a year and a half during COVID. And sometimes I would be you know sitting up at night or going to bed and I would have an intent that same intense feeling. Like I need to get the heck out of there
Starting point is 00:40:39 because something's watching me. And it was it wasn't very often, but when it came on it was like it was very thick and intense. That's the only way I could say it. So, you know, it could be said, well, because you had that experience, maybe you have a fear of an unknown creature, so then you have these feelings once in a while based on your mood. And I can say, yeah, that could be right.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Maybe there was absolutely nothing there. I could totally go along with that. Because without facts, without evidence, I'm just going to presume that it's an unknown. So I kind of look at things as very practical. But I also have to include things that I may not have control of or understanding of. I'll give you an example. So I was in a couple auto accidents that put me in bed for three years. And this was about 30 years ago before I had a near-death experience.
Starting point is 00:41:44 And one, I shared a daylight basement with my landlady who was a retired teacher. And one day we, the daylight basement, so her laundry was in the basement, but it was on the other side of a wall. So I had to go through a door to go to the laundry. So I would go do my laundry. So one day I opened up the door to go into the laundry and I saw a ghost sitting on the steps to go up to her main house. And I looked directly at the image that faded really fast. and I asked the question, who are you? When I asked that question, I heard a loud noise in my apartment,
Starting point is 00:42:29 just on the other side of my wall. When I asked the question, immediately in my mind, I heard the name Kenneth. So I thought, okay. And I asked, I asked, what do you want? And it said, turn out the lights. This is not very odd, right? And weeks before this, I had had something knocking on the door several times, and I'd get up and look out the door, nobody was there. So anyway, I just said, okay.
Starting point is 00:43:07 And so I just did my laundry. When I went back into my side of the apartment wondering what the loud noise was, I saw that all my books that had been stacked on a shelf next to the wall had flown across the room, hit the other. wall and drop down to the floor. And then I thought about what that apparition, the ghost, wanted for me, and that was to turn out the lights. And I thought, okay, I was on reconnaissance. I ended up having to go on bed rest soon after that. So anyway, because I was so, had all these symptoms and stuff, I would stay up late watching
Starting point is 00:43:51 movies and I would fall asleep and I would leave the lights on. And evidently, the ghost wanted me to turn out the lights. I was like, why does this ghost want me to turn out the lights? About two weeks later, my landlady came down. She was doing laundry. So I went out there and I talked to her and stuff. And she tells me, she says, and she had never talked about her personal stuff. She was a very intraverid woman.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Very nice. Anyway, so she, just while I was talking to her, she happened to say, hey, you know, there's stuff in that closet over there and if there's anything there you want, you can have it. And I thought, well, I'm not going to go through her personal
Starting point is 00:44:33 stuff, you know. But about I don't know, a few days later, I thought, well, I had nothing to do as I thought, well, I'll just go through there. Maybe there's some, you know, something I could use, you know. So I went through the closet and I was looking, there wasn't that much stuff in there. But at the very back of the closet
Starting point is 00:44:48 in the corner was was something, it looked metal and I pulled it out. And it was a sword. It was an incredibly beautiful military sword that had engraving. And on the blade, as I pulled it out of the sheath, it said Kenneth and it had her last name. So it was about, I don't know, sometime after that, not too long, though. I asked her because obviously her husband's name was Kenneth and his ghost told me its name was Kenneth and I think I asked her oh how long were you and your husband married
Starting point is 00:45:34 and she shared and she said that he died on Mount Everest climbing Mount Everest and so I saw the continuity between what the ghost said the verification of the name he gave me in a sword and then she told me he tried a tragic death, probably thinking at her when he passed. And my own experience in perspective is that when we pass away, we're simply into a fourth dimension, the next dimension. So we have access to this one,
Starting point is 00:46:14 just like you and I can tell the difference between a line and a dot, but if we were a point, sorry. If we were only a point, we would never comprehend a line. Also, if we were a line, we wouldn't comprehend something three-dimensional, like a cube, because it wouldn't be in our consciousness. But because we are three-dimensional, we can perceive both a point and a line. We can see in lower dimensions and understand it, but we can't vice versa.
Starting point is 00:46:41 We can't understand the fourth dimension because we don't exist there. However, when you pass over, you are in another dimension and can perceive everything here. and so some beings people souls choose to be attached to this dimension and want to interact with it and that's exactly at least my understanding is what he did he wanted to get my attention he moved the books off my shelf he presented himself and then you know i immediately asked him a question what do you want so it was my job general understanding that he wanted me to use less electricity because my electricity was included in my rent, which wasn't much. And it was after that I decided, okay, I'm going to turn out the
Starting point is 00:47:32 lights, make sure the TV's off at a certain time. I never had a knock on the door again. I never had any visitation from him again. Nothing. And I lived there another like three years. So there are things that we that I don't understand so I can't really say that coming back to that that gut feeling of fear there may be that when I was at the beach several times when I had that feeling that something was watching me maybe something was maybe it wasn't I I don't know but so I'm trying to think in chronological order so I heard the scream in Klamath Falls. I went camping and bend and smelled something.
Starting point is 00:48:25 And at the time, I didn't think of a Bigfoot. It just wasn't in my spectrum. My parents were religious. We weren't allowed to watch scary movies, so I never watched any Bigfoot movies. I mean, I've heard of Bigfoot. I saw the stickers and stuff when I was a kid and thought it was fun, but I never thought anything of it. So when I smelled something awful in my tent the next day, I just thought, well, maybe it was a badger, you know.
Starting point is 00:48:54 And I remember I followed the outside the tent. I exited the tent the next morning, excuse me, and the ground was hard and dry, but there was, it looked like somebody took a broom or a piece of fabric. or something and had sort of, you know, walked over the ground with it. Like they had sort of broomed the ground. And it was distinct, though. I could tell that it was sort of a path because it came, that effect on the ground was near the front of the tent, and then there was bushes and stuff.
Starting point is 00:49:41 It came around where the thing, where I sensed it and heard it and smelled it, though the smell was in a whole tent. There was no point of where the smell came from. It was just everywhere. And then I saw that those effects on the ground continued. And then they went down, sort of a slight embankment or a hill slightly, maybe 20 feet. And then they just stopped. So I didn't see any footprints or anything.
Starting point is 00:50:12 But I was trying to rationalize this thinking, what animal lives close? exist close to the ground might stink awful and be curious around people's tent. I thought, well, I've never really seen a badger in real life. So I thought, well, maybe it was a badger, you know? Maybe because badgers, I think, are dirty animals and they live in the ground and eat dead things
Starting point is 00:50:35 as well as live things. And kind of like possum smell. But I thought, well, maybe it was a badger. You know, the fur is close to the ground. they sort of you know they probably make some sort of brushing sound when they move across
Starting point is 00:50:51 the ground because they have so short legs so I just chalked it up as that it still doesn't explain the fear however and my physiological reaction because I was raised around animals
Starting point is 00:51:06 investigated animals followed animals I didn't really have an innate fear of badgers or anything. I mean, I guess we all do to some degree, though. If we hear something or smell something in the middle of the night, we might care, well, is that a bear? That would definitely scare me. But, um, so anyway, so there was the, the sound of the call in
Starting point is 00:51:29 climate falls, the, and my mother seeing it in a window, then the, uh, the tent camping and the smell. Um, and then we fast forward another 20 years till about two years. years ago I was working outside of Long Beach, Washington. What if you could get more from what you already do?

Starting point is 00:53:54 That's the spam brand, singing you a love song. Spam, Sizzle, Pork, and Mmm. I worked up there for about a year and a half. But it was the first, it was like the first couple weeks that I had gone up there. I would go up there for a week and then come back for a week. And I went up there and brought my youngster, and they were about, I think about eight or nine at the time. and we were staying in this beach house. It's a fairly large house on one end.
Starting point is 00:54:32 It forms an L, and on one end there's two stories. And where we were going to sleep and slept was on the second floor of that main house. So we came in the house. We came in in the evening when it was dark, got out of the car, went into the house. we went directly upstairs to that big open room where there was several beds because they have guests and stuff there and for whatever reason
Starting point is 00:55:05 I have no idea why but as soon as I went up and I put our little luggage on the bed and my youngsters are like bouncing around off the walls happy to be out of the car I looked out the window there was a small window that was maybe it's maybe three
Starting point is 00:55:22 30 inches wide and three feet tall, I looked out the window. And when I looked out the window, I looked down. And when I looked out the window and down, the light, we'd also turned on the lights in the kitchen. Just as we had come in, I, you know, it's my habit, I'll turn lights on. We'd turned on the lights, headed up the stairs. When I looked down the window, the light through the kitchen windows was casting a broad amount of light across over the ground next to to the house. And next to the house, there's one tree, and then
Starting point is 00:55:56 there's just a bunch of tall grass. And this house is set right on the coast. I mean, you can walk that's probably 500 yards to the beach. You have to go over some sand dunes, but so when I looked out
Starting point is 00:56:14 that light was cascading light for at least 50, 60 feet. And then it must have been light enough out because I could easily see the grass that went across the small field of land, maybe 500 feet or 800 feet, and then there was forest. And when I looked out and down, I immediately saw a creature.
Starting point is 00:56:46 And the creature was standing on two feet. It was looking in the kitchen window. but when I entered the space of the window looking out, I cast a shadow in the light and it immediately saw the change in light. So I looked out, I saw it, its head was headed toward the window, looking in the window, peering in.
Starting point is 00:57:14 And when it saw the change in light, it immediately looked directly up at me. And it didn't look like, up at the window like, oh, what's going on? It went from looking in the window to looking at me directly in the eye. And it held eyes with me until it turned its head and walked away the entire time. It never didn't hold eye contact with me. It looked directly in my eyes.
Starting point is 00:57:47 And it held my eye contact for probably the three to four seconds it took. for it to turn and begin walking down through the grass and then it exited into the forest. So I'll describe this creature as best as I can. So I'm six foot. If I would have been standing next to it, I know it would have been at least, if it would have been standing perfectly upright, let's put it that way, it probably would have been seven feet. but it was hunched over at about a 15 degree angle.
Starting point is 00:58:33 Its legs were short for its height, and its arms were long for its height. Its arms hung down past its waist, and it had hands. It had no protruding ears like a bear. It was dark gray. Its hair was probably four to six inches long, and it seemed like, oily sort of, especially around its face and its head.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Its hair just seemed matted and dirty. Its eyes were fairly good size and probably the size of a quarter. Its nose, it did not have a protruding
Starting point is 00:59:22 muzzle. These are things that I've gone through on my head a million times since this occurrence. because I thought at first, oh, that's a bear. And I immediately, after it lost eye contact with me, I came away from the window and told my youngster, hey, there's a bear out there. And then we both looked and we could both watch it
Starting point is 00:59:44 as it walked away and entered the forest. But since then, and I think, yeah, my friends that I was working for were home, and I went downstairs and said, hey, there was a bear outside, looking at in the window. and I still did not think about that it wasn't a bear I just thought oh it must be a bear you know because I hadn't seen a bear since I was like 12 years old
Starting point is 01:00:07 and you know I didn't think about Bigfoot but then since I have since then after that I saw a mother bear and three cubs right in front of me in my car in my car and I stopped the car and I actually watched them for about 10 minutes. And I thought to myself, that is not what I saw outside that window. And then it was probably six months after that, a big male bear walked in front of my car across the road.
Starting point is 01:00:42 This bear just owned the territory. I mean, he never hesitated to walk onto the road. He took his time crossing it, went down the other side. And I just sat there in my car and watched the whole thing. It was huge. that was not the creature I saw for some very specific physiological reasons, the difference. So this creature looked, when it was looking me in the eye, there was also a shift in its mood. And I say that because there was some sort of subtle physiological change in its face.
Starting point is 01:01:27 as soon as it saw me. It went from looking in the window to looking at me, and then its face seemed to be sort of like chagrined or disappointed or like, oh, brother, you know, never mind. Like, somebody saw what I was doing. Okay, I'm going back to the woods. You know, it was just sort of this look. The shift of mood is if some sort of mood had changed within it.
Starting point is 01:01:56 That was my perception. And so it had no protruding ears like a bear. A bear's ears just stick out. I mean, they're like, they're so funny. It's like a cartoon, like Mickey Mouse or something. A bear has a very pronounced muzzle like a dog. This creature did not have that. Its face was more flat and its nose was, it wasn't large.
Starting point is 01:02:26 I know from your podcast you always ask this question, did it look more like a human or more like an ape? And I would say it was somewhere in between. I couldn't call it a human, that's for sure. And it definitely didn't look like an ape. But it was something altogether in itself different. Its mouth was just a slit, you know, surrounded by hair. I didn't see any teeth
Starting point is 01:03:01 when it walked away or when it turned its head and walked away it seemed to have a different its head had a different shape than our head so I can't remember the term the way apes are
Starting point is 01:03:21 shaped they have that ridge or something but from the front its head just looked round. Like its hair was matted and it had less hair around its
Starting point is 01:03:37 like around its nose and mouth and eyes and it had white like it almost looked like it was old. It had sort of wrinkles around its eyes and like it had a hard day.
Starting point is 01:03:54 I mean this creature looked like it had a rough life. Like, you know, and maybe me interrupting its small entertainment of watching humans, you know, shifts in its mood. I don't know. But it looked like it was like it was old to me. That was my first initial reaction when I saw it, even when I thought it was a bear, thinking it was a bear. I thought that's a really old bear. Like, man, that's an old bear. I've never seen an old bear. and I remember it's
Starting point is 01:04:30 hands which is so funny when you see something unusual you go like what you don't really comprehend it until like later the paranormal stuff paranormal stuff I get right away
Starting point is 01:04:42 because I've had that stuff happened my whole life I get stories go on and on about that but so when I when I experience something paranormal like oh yeah there it goes again
Starting point is 01:04:55 I don't even think much about it. But seeing an odd creature at the time, it sort of puts you in this, at least it did me. It put me in a conscious state of like, what? Like, I didn't even even even comprehend what I was viewing. Because the thing had hands, and I didn't even think about it at the time. Bears don't have hands. They have paws, and they have claws, and those are really obvious. And their shoulders and chest and everything's shaped different.
Starting point is 01:05:24 a distinctive thing that stood out even at the time when I saw this creature was man that bear has massive deltoids this thing had his shoulders were enormous it's like a weightlifter that went to the gym
Starting point is 01:05:42 but the only thing he did was lift do deltoid exercises for like 10 years like his deltoids were much bigger than in mass than his biceps, triceps, forearms, even his chest muscles. I mean, he was fairly slender, this creature was. But his deltoids were big. I remember them just standing out.
Starting point is 01:06:12 I'm assuming it was a male. I didn't see any. His chest seemed more like a man, like flat, though it was covered with hair. and I remember noticing that its legs were short and that's probably what led me to the bear thing because bears' legs are short
Starting point is 01:06:34 their back leg but you know in the moment I didn't even look at the feet I don't remember what its feet looked like but I remember that it did something another thing very unusual was that a bear
Starting point is 01:06:51 if it sees you, it might glance at you and then it'll just do something different if it's going to do something different. Like, if you're at a stream and a bear's looking at the water and you walk up, it'll look at you and it'll immediately
Starting point is 01:07:07 just leave or it'll immediately come towards you. It'll do something immediate but it won't keep eye contact generally in general, but it moves immediately and a bear has a neck, their neck will move. So when they are standing,
Starting point is 01:07:28 if they're going to turn, they usually go down onto all fours, and then they'll turn and walk away. I guess they will turn, but it seems uncomfortable for a bear if they're on their back feet to turn away from you on their back feet. They'll usually go down and then turn.
Starting point is 01:07:47 That's, you know, in my opinion, but this creature when it saw me so it turned it looked me directly in the eye and then its whole torso and lower body
Starting point is 01:08:02 just shifted and turned in unison directly toward me and away from me because when I first saw it I saw it sort of from the it was about a three-quarter view so I could see it's the front of its body but it was turned
Starting point is 01:08:23 mostly toward the window and then it turned toward me and looked at me so then it was facing me but its whole body moved and then it turned in one motion and then it stayed hunched over the whole time and then it started walking away on its back feet. But it did hunch down slightly lower as it was doing that, but the ground does go down a little bit there. And that's when I broke away, told my youngster, hey, there's a bear outside. And then we both came to the window and by that time it had moved probably 20 feet. What if you could get more from what you already do?

Starting point is 01:11:27 Spam. Sizzle, pork, and, mm. 15, 20 feet away through this tall grass that was about three feet high. and the grass was hitting it at about its waist. And now when a bear is down on all fours, first of all, a bear will walk away on our fores. It's not going to walk away on two feet. This creature was still on his two feet.
Starting point is 01:11:53 And when it was walking away, so what I saw was the back of its shoulders and its head, just like you would see a human as if they were hunched over at about a 15-degree angle, you would see this flatness of their back and then it would curve down to their waist and then you'd see the back of their head whereas a bear if it's standing on all fours
Starting point is 01:12:19 a bear's back is sort of a peak shape you know it comes to that peak where their shoulders meet and then you see the back of their head which seems very large as they're walking away and their ears are sticking out um this however was the exact shape of a man the shape of the shoulders of course the shoulders were bigger but it was but the shape of the head and during the shifting of moving toward me around and then as it exited it didn't really move its neck a whole lot there was probably some subtle movement in its neck, but it seemed to move its whole body in sort of a uniform sequence. It never made any
Starting point is 01:13:14 sounds. It never looked back. It just continued walking through the tall grass and then it just disappeared into the forest. Do you remember if the eyes had any whites to them at all? no there was no whites to the eyes the they seemed slightly recessed and there was a lot of sort of wrinkling around them that's why i think it was my perception was that this was something old um because my at the time i remember thinking gosh that's a really old bear i've never seen an old bear because usually when you see bears they're you know they're vibrant they're young they're even adult bears look young you know But this thing just seemed old. Like, you know, I only got a few months left and, you know, I'm trying to entertain myself here. And you interrupted me and, you know, left. So it just seemed old. And the things that make me think that is the way its eyes were kind of recessed and aged looking, the wrinkles.
Starting point is 01:14:22 And its skin on its face seemed taunt. it was thin. It wasn't like you wouldn't call it a robust animal. Of course chimpanzees looked fairly emaciated most of the time, but those things are strong.
Starting point is 01:14:39 So that could be an illusion. But it didn't seem vibrant. It didn't seem like it was in its youth, let's put it that way. And then it was a combination of that and the gray color of the fur that make me,
Starting point is 01:14:55 me think, especially around the face because it turned really light gray and some places kind of white. It made me think it was old. Wow. That must have been, well, I guess I'll ask was how did that affect you after you had that actual face-to-face and you were able to get a really, really good look at what you encountered? Well, the thing is, at the time, I just thought, Oh, it must have been an old bear, you know. But it was later I started thinking about like, that's not a bear because I had four bears total walk basically in front of me
Starting point is 01:15:41 when I was driving my car. So I had to literally stop my car and watch these black bears walk in front of me. And I looked at those black bears and then I thought about what I saw. And I thought, that was not a bear, you know. So and then and then I started investigating what that what that could have been. So then I started looking at Bigfoot podcast and listening to stuff. And then I started going back and writing down and drawing out what I saw. And I thought, there's no way that was a bear.
Starting point is 01:16:18 There's too many physical markers that would make it not a bear. There's a shape of its shoulders as it walked away, the way that it turned. the absence of ears protruding out, the lack of a snout, the fact that it had hands, which is weird. It's funny, like, people, there's a car accident,
Starting point is 01:16:38 people remember different things, and some things they don't even remember. It's like seeing one of these creatures, because it's so outside of norm, I just didn't think about it, like the fact that it had hands until later. I'm like, the thing had hands. I remember the size of its hands were huge
Starting point is 01:16:58 and I remember the thumb like its thumb being there and it was higher it's like its palm was longer than ours it's like if you look at your hand and you stretch your palm out the palm second of your hand maybe 25 maybe 15 to 25% more
Starting point is 01:17:18 it was shaped like that so it was like a longer hand that's the only way I could describe it. And its hand, like if you put our hand up to our face, it can cover so much of our face. I think if this creature would have put its hand on its face, its fingers probably would have easily, you know, reached up high onto its forehead. I mean, it had very large hands and fingers. So.
Starting point is 01:17:51 It's so interesting. I mean, that whole area is really, really well. I mean, it's really well known for a lot of Bigfoot stuff. And I mean, there's stuff that I've taken over the years from that I would say region definitely there's so much.
Starting point is 01:18:07 It's, I'm not surprised at all that you had that kind of citing in that area of Washington. Yeah. And just a few years ago. Wow. Yeah, that was, I guess it was 2020 to
Starting point is 01:18:23 22. And I'm going back up there here actually this week. So I think I might spend some time. One of your listeners I can't remember who it was, but they said that a known creature that had been
Starting point is 01:18:41 visited in their house, what they did is they put a light on, I think it was in their bathroom or some other, or bedroom. And then what they would do, they'd sit at the opposite side of the house and they would look for eyeshine. for the creature to come near that window that had the light on and then they could see the
Starting point is 01:18:59 eye shine and that would let them know where the creature was and i was thinking that you know if these beings these creatures like to watch people which is just you know i guess it's just curiosity if it's just a physical being um then that might be a good thing to do i might stay up late and sit like at a part of the house and leave a light on and just see if something shows up. Oh, absolutely. I mean, are you hoping that you might have another siting when you go back to that area? I'm totally open to more sightings, but only within the context that I'm safely somewhere where I'm not within armed for each of these things.
Starting point is 01:19:49 Sure. Let's put it that way. You know, I used to watch Dr. Ristow on TV as a kid and all the oceans and the sharks and everything. And I always thought, oh, yeah, it would be so fun to go swimming with sharks and all this stuff. And then I took a trip to Belize and went snorkeling for a month. And a black-tipped reef shark swam right up to me. Like it was within four feet of me. It probably weighed seven or eight hundred pounds.
Starting point is 01:20:19 I don't know. And the creature appeared so fast in the water next to me because it was chasing a barracuda that came over and parked itself to my right. And the shark came up from my left. So it was obviously chasing the barracuda. And the barracuda said, hey, you know, there's lunch here. Leave me alone. But as soon as the shark realized that I was there, it immediately left. But just for that, it was probably a second from the time.
Starting point is 01:20:50 that the shark swam up was completely parked and still and then disappeared was maybe one to two seconds of the most it was so powerful of a creature it scared the daylights out of me and I got out of water and you know
Starting point is 01:21:07 it's funny we fantasize oh yeah it'd be nice to see these creatures and everything but I know that I have no interest of actually being in the presence of one of these creatures unless it's like you know I wouldn't mind sitting down and talk with one if it's on the other side of maybe shatterproof glass.
Starting point is 01:21:26 Sure. Like I don't want it with our reach. I get it. Because, you know, so my natural curiosity is, yes, I'd love to see one again, but from the same perspective, I was inside of a building. It was outside.
Starting point is 01:21:44 That was a pretty safe distance. Having one, if that's what it was near my tent, was completely terrifying. So. Did you report this to anyone after you had this siting? Yeah, I went online and reported maybe a year and a half or two years ago once I came to realize that's actually what I experienced. I think it was on Mufon's site. I think it was Mufon.
Starting point is 01:22:17 You know, they have a thing where you can just type. in your experience and that's what I did. I thought, well, I just need to add my experience so that they can, you know, statistically sort of follow what people experience. That's really interesting. I've never thought to look into Mufon for Bigfoot reports, but now I'm... Or not Mufon, not move on. It was, no, it wasn't Moof on.
Starting point is 01:22:42 It was, you know, it was a Bigfoot thing. Sorry for the computer. Oh, you're good. Was it like maybe the BFRO or Bigfoot mapping project, maybe something like that? Yeah, it was probably one of those. Gotcha. But one other thing that I just thought of, and I have no idea what this was. I just have no comprehension.
Starting point is 01:23:03 From my own experience with the paranormal and with animals, I know it wasn't either of those, to my understanding, to my best guess. So after my parents moved away from Klamath Falls when I had that experience with the spring, my mother saw the creature in the window. We moved to Rathram, Idaho. It's about, I think it's about 20 or 30 minutes outside of Coraline, Idaho. And in that house, it was a had a daylight basement. The house was on a hill, and in front of it was a gravel road. and across from the gravel road was a big pond and the pond was surrounded by cat tails
Starting point is 01:23:49 and so you couldn't really get to the pond because there's so much vegetation around it but I used to leave I was a young team by then I was I think I was 13 or 14 and I used to go out at night and walk down the gravel road about a quarter mile down the road to see my friends at night
Starting point is 01:24:10 late at night I'd just stay up late at late and my parents knew I, you know, came and went. They didn't care. But one night after dinner, it was already dark. We had already eaten dinner, and I left the house. I was going down to see my friend Shane. And when I, okay, so I came out the house. I went around the house, and then I went down our driveway,
Starting point is 01:24:35 and there's a gravel road, and across there's a pond. I got to the gravel road. and a voice spoke my birth name audibly to me now I changed my name in my late 20s but my birth name
Starting point is 01:24:58 was Christian but nobody ever called me that my parents always just called me Chris that was it they never once said my birth name that I can recall unless maybe they were mad at me or something I don't know But this voice spoke my birth name to me. It was very loud.
Starting point is 01:25:24 It was very clear. But what was weird about it was that it was mechanical. It sounded like a robot. What if you could get more from what you already do?

Starting point is 01:27:41 Singin you a love song. Spam, sizzle, pork, and mm. It was like, question. It was just, it was something like that. It was just really bizarre. I remember that two things happened. My brain said, who called me by my birth name? The second thing is my brain said is run.
Starting point is 01:28:08 And I immediately ran from the road up the driveway into the house. And I remember just standing there shaking. I was physiologically, again, triggered to where my whole body was in fight or flight. and my whole family was standing there my parents my brother and sister and um they said they all said even i recall my brother being in unison and we never really got along so he'd be more likely to disagree but he everybody was in unison that i was as white as a sheet they said it looked like it was white as a piece of paper and um i told him what happened but I never understood what that was.
Starting point is 01:28:57 And I have heard on some reports from different things, whether it's paranormal UFOs or Bigfoot, that people have had something say their name out loud or say something else out loud, and it sounded mechanical. It was about six months after, after this, again, my parents moved. They moved into a rental house.
Starting point is 01:29:31 And in the middle of the night, I woke up and I was surrounded in white light. And, you know, I'm a teenager. I'm like, what, where the hell Texas light coming from? You know, it was like somebody turned on baseball stadium lights in my room. And as I was just coming to consciousness, I was seeing the top shelf of my closet.
Starting point is 01:30:01 And I was like, why do I see the top shelf of my closet? And I'm looking at it. I'm looking at it. And then I realized I'm looking at the top shelf of the closet through my knees. I'm like, how the heck am I seeing the top shelf of my closet through my knees? And then I fully understood, I came to more consciousness, realizing that I was in a lying position, my knees up, looking through my knees, and I was seeing the top shelf of my closet, and that my body was actually in the air, about six feet in the air, about four feet away from my bed.
Starting point is 01:30:41 As soon as that realization entered my consciousness, as soon as I thought, oh, I'm in the air, I fell. And I fell down. I remember hitting the carpeted floor, it jarring my back and my neck. I immediately got up. The light immediately left as soon as I started falling the light left. And then I looked out my back window of my bedroom. It had curtains up, and there was nothing out in the backyard. I looked up in the sky.
Starting point is 01:31:16 There was nothing in the sky. I rushed in to tell my parents, like, hey, did you guys see that bright light? And I opened their door. They were sound asleep. I thought, well, I'm going to see if my sister is, you know, saw it. And I looked in her bedroom. She was down to sleep. I don't think my brother was living with us at that house.
Starting point is 01:31:37 I think he moved out. But, um, so then I went out the slaying glass door out into the backyard. There was nothing there. There's the fence yard with my parents had rented that house, all houses prior we had owned. There was nothing out of the backyard, nothing up in the sky. Absolutely nothing. and I still don't really have an explanation for that other than my research in because I've studied near-death experience for 20-some years.
Starting point is 01:32:08 I did come across a experience where there was several people at a medic they were meditating and praying and people reported that this one woman floated off the floor and floated in mid-air until she became aware of it and she followed the floor. she fell of the floor. That's the only experience I had that I found that was similar to mine. So I don't have any explanation for it. Like the weird voice from the pond, which I've heard that, I think, from some UFO accounts. And then that thing, I have no idea what that was. So it's a restrained.
Starting point is 01:32:50 It's such an incredible lifetime of things you've experienced and not just Bigfoot related, but across the spectrum, from hearing voices to, you know, seeing apparitions to seeing Bigfoot. And it's incredible. Thank you for coming on to share what you've experienced. I think it's probably one of the most best detailed descriptions someone's provided of what they saw when they had a face-to-face encounter with a Bigfoot. Thank you for that. Sure. I want to make sure that, you know, we are, we are, it's crazy to think that we are already about at the time, at the end of our time together today. But I want to make sure that you were able to share everything that you had wanted to share. And maybe if there is more, we would have to, you know, do a follow up with you in some way for sure. Yeah, no, I think I've shared everything, especially about Bigfoot.
Starting point is 01:34:03 I think other things I've experienced are in another field like paranormal and UFOs and stuff. But no, I just told, I see that your podcast serves us in several ways. It helps create more information. like when it comes to documentation of near-death studies, IANs, the International Associated of Near-Dest Studies, has different markers like there's 454. So commonality is amongst testimonies and stuff that people experience. And I think if those things are like,
Starting point is 01:34:45 if we analyze people's experiences in those ways, then we can sort of build information about these experiences and the creatures and reach some sort of of, you know, understanding generally what what these creatures are about and maybe their roles in life and our lives. Absolutely. So it serves in that way. But I think an additional thing your podcast does is it helps any time we think about something
Starting point is 01:35:15 that is that is outside of our conscious framework, then it challenges us or help us open up our consciousness about different things. And so we can grow as individuals in understanding a little bit more about our environment and maybe about ourselves as well. So I think your podcast is doing well to serve everybody who listens to it in multiple ways. I appreciate that. Definitely keep me in mind if anything does happen in future trips out to the coast or anything like that. I'd love to hear if there's any. anything that happens.
