Bigfoot Society - Sasquatch Flipped the Bronco! | Oregon

Episode Date: October 25, 2025

What happens when a former soldier, artist, and outdoorsman finds himself face-to-face with towering creatures in the forests of Oregon? In this jaw-dropping episode, we sit down with Greg Helton — a veteran who has spent decades exploring the wilderness and gathering evidence of Sasquatch. Greg shares gripping encounters from his childhood in Manitou Springs, Colorado to violent, close-range run-ins deep in the woods near Marcola, Oregon. You’ll hear about a flipped Bronco in Shotgun Creek, a creature watching from outside a tent, rock-throwing primates, deer reacting in terror, and the moment Greg realized he may have accidentally urinated on a Bigfoot. This is not your typical cryptid campfire story — it’s an emotional, high-stakes, boots-on-the-ground survival story from someone who’s lived it.Resources: Chaos Entertainment Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Chaos_EntertainmentGood-bye Gluten Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Good-bye_Gluten🗣️ Share Your StoryHad a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?Send it to [e-mail] – your story might be featured on the show!🎥 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube🔴 Subscribe here → Bigfoot Society YouTube💬 Leave a comment & let us know your thoughts!📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → Speakpipe (Use multiple voicemails if needed)👥 Share this episode → Watch & Share🎧 More episodes → Podcast Playlist🌲 Recommended: New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters💥 Support the Show & Get Perks✅ Join the community on Supercast – Become a Member✅ Listen ad-free & early on YouTube – Join Here📱 Let’s ConnectInstagram: @bigfootsocietyTwitter: @bigfoot_societyTikTok: @bigfoot.society🧰 Tools & Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)These help support the show at no extra cost to you:Beam (Better Sleep): Try BeamWildgrain (Better Bread): Join HereSeed (Probiotics): Get SeedMedi-Share (Healthcare): Learn MoreLMNT (Electrolytes) Free Sample Pack with your first purchase! : Get LMNTOrganic and non-GMO groceries delivered for lesshttp://thrv.me/uarEhS🎙️ Podcasting Tools:Repurpose.io: Try ItDescript: Sign UpStreamyard: Start RecordingRiverside.fm: Try Riverside🎧 My Audio Interface: View on Amazon☕ Buy Me a Coffee – Support Here🛍️ Grab Some Merch – Shop on Etsy📬 Mailing Address:Bigfoot Society125 E 1st St. #233Earlham, IA 50072

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

Greg is out there in the great state of Washington. He's a listener of the show. And also a few other things. He's an Army veteran, a writer, an artist. He's a YouTuber as well. And he's had some interesting things happen in the Bigfoot subject over the years in a few different states. So welcome to the show, Greg. How are you doing today, sir?

Pretty good. It's a nice, beautiful morning up here. finely. Normally it's nice and gray and overcasted and rainy, but it's actually sunny and shiny today. That is great. And yeah, that's probably when you get those days out there in the Pacific Northwest, you want to definitely not take them for granted. We're thankful that you're choosing to spend some time with us today here on the show, but I know a little bit about your accounts. And from what I know, Greg, they sound extremely interesting. I'd like to make the best use of our time today, feel free to take us back to when this whole deal started for you. What was the

first thing that you had experienced? My first experience, I was 10 years old, and I was living in a little town called Manitou Springs, Colorado. A beautiful little town, right nestled it right at the Rocky Mountains, one mountain from Pike's Peak, and there's a canyon called Williams Canyon. And If you Google YouTube Teradacto rides, that's the video, that's the canyon that they swing over. But I was 10 years old, and my mom let me climb all over the mountains long as I wasn't causing trouble in the streets. So I'm sitting there climbing along and was up in the Williams Canyon, and I was grabbing slate rock and throwing them down off one of the cliffs. I didn't really think about it until the third rock I threw down because there was a movement to my left and the peripheral vision

and I look over and there's a young slender, I'm thinking maybe a six-foot-tall female Sasquatch holding like an infant, right, or one or two-year-old. And she's trying to push them up into a, one of these caves, so they're out of the way of having rocks chucked onto it. And it tripped me out because I've seen the legend of Baggy Creek when I was a little kid. And so instantly recognized what they were. And I was like, oh my gosh. And then to my right, and I'm like hip deep in the

bushes, basically. And to my right, these bushes started shaking violently. Now, knowing animals, growing up in Colorado and learning all the animals over there, I know no animals shakes bushes just to shake a bush. Only two things do that. That would be a human or a primate, and that's to scare the heck out of you. So that was pretty intense right there, and I ran away.

I was 10 years old. And then the next sighting was a few years later, and me and my two buddies, Greg Del Piano, and Sean Flanagan, and decided we were going to go camping for the night, right? And we packed up our stuff, and we hiked along the Bar Trail, which is at the southwest end of Manitou Springs. And there's like a train track that goes up to the top of bike's peak,

called the Cog Railway. And we basically camped right near there. We found this little pool that's by about six feet deep. it's because there's a natural creek running down the area that we were camping at. And we were sitting there as a couple of kids and talking about girls and stuff like that got really dark and late at night. And so we decided to go to bed, right? Now, we only had one of the little pump tents that you have that was triangular, not the kind that are now that are domed everywhere. And so it was Greg on the right, Sean on the left, and I was in the middle.

and we had left the zipper opened, right, so air can flow through and we won't get drizzled by do. And the fire had died down, and then the fire got rekindled. And that's what woke me up. And I looked down at my feet, and there's this huge shadow covering the entire tent, right? And I looked down, and there's these two gigantic hairy legs between us and the campfire. and I was like, oh gosh, and I knew they weren't bears of bear legs because bears are stubby little things. And I shook my two friends awake and then put my hands over their mouths because one of them

made a sound and the legs turned. And we were all three laying down. The next thing I know, it's about 11 in the morningish, so it's been several hours. and we all three were in the sitting position with our backs pressed against the tent. So the only thing I'm thinking is the Sasquatch probably looked into the tent, scared us to death, and we all just fainted. I got out of the tent, my friend Greg got out of the tent, and he was so anxious to just get out of the area.

He was like throwing stuff all together. My friend, Sean, he wouldn't even get out of the tent. He was that terrified. and we had to basically drag the tent off of him. And Sean was from New York City, and his parents, his mom sent him to his dad in Colorado to get him away from all the gangs in the 1980s. And basically the next day I go to see Sean to talk about it,

and his dad had to send him home to New York City because Sean thought it would be safer to be in New York City than in Colorado with the Bigfoot. And my friend Greg, he literally refused to talk about it. He was that terrified. I did have one possible encounter when I was a teen in the same city. I don't know if it was actually a Sasquatch or not because what I did not see was solid black. And I'm walking a girl home up in Crystal Hills.

And as I'm walking back home, there's this large, I think it was a rock. Rottweiler, right? He's not on a leash. I think he's like on his way home or something, and he sees me, but doesn't even worry about me, right? And then all of a sudden, he goes out of the street light from under the street light, and he looks to his right and freaks out, and he goes running and hides behind me. And I was just like, and I heard of something shuffle. So we do have black bears, but generally when a dog sees a black bear, they start barking. When the Sasquatches come around, a lot of dogs just freaking shut up and run away. Okay, then we'll go to, that was my Colorado instances. Then I went to the Army and then I moved to Oregon shortly afterwards.

and I was up in the Regency Apartments up by C.OCC Central Oregon Community College. And I was with a friend, and we see this large mass walking across like our window. And that was like one of the things. So it looked like a Sasquatch in the shadow, but it didn't make a sound. and where its head would be would have had to have been about eight feet high from where we were and how far the window is off the ground. But most of my sightings were over on the western side of Oregon. Most of them were actually in Lane County.

One of them I was driving home from a friend of mine's house in Marcolla, and they actually have a big history. of Sasquatches walking through the creeks in their town. It's really tiny rural town. And I'm driving home and it's twilight and I see something, for some reason my brain thought it was a broken telephone pole because it was half the size of the actual telephone pole. So it wasn't the 50-foot telephone poles.

This one was probably about 25 hit the most. And I'm like, oh, they replaced a telephone pole. and that was what's stuck in my head for a split second. As I'm driving past, I realized it wasn't a telephone pole. It was a saw-squatch just standing there quietly waiting for the few cars to pass by before it walks across the road. And as it passed behind my van, I look behind over my left shoulder and I see it walking up to this bobwire fence. And I went there the day afterwards, and the bobwire fence is like up to my hip, and I'm 6'1. and this bobwire fence was at its knees.

That's how big it was. It just stepped over like it was nothing and just kept going. And that was a freaky, freaky one on my point, because it was only just a few miles from Springfield, Oregon. It was really weird. Then I was up in the Shotgun Creek area of the Wirehouser Tree Farm area, which is right by Marcola. I just witnessed or watched and investigated this.

Bronco had been overturned in this area. And I went through that area several times. And the Bronco had been flipped off the road, like something came to the side of it and flipped it off the road. And when I investigated the first time, the window looked like someone had put a shotgun up to the windshield from the inside and fired out. And this thing had been rolled off the third. because the way the tracks were, you could just see the pivots in the dirt where something just

flipped the truck off the road. And I go back there a couple days later, and now the Bronco is another 100 yards into the woods and had been flipped over a three-foot-thick fallen tree. So that freaked me out a little bit, but I kept going. And so I go to this one area, and I was just like, okay, this is a good area. I see some trees here. There's a fallen tree over here. I'm going to put up an apple trap. And something just told me this was like a really good spot. And this happened almost every time I had my Sasquatch experiences in Oregon. And so I noticed as I got out that there was these large footsteps imprints in the grass going from the clearing where I was to where the fallen tree was. right? And I had a hop from one step to the other, and it looked like something had literally broke a lot of the branches off underneath and slept there. And I was just like,

huh, that's interesting. So I go over to the other area where to go have my apple trap between these trees. One of them is a really large pine tree. I think it's like a ponderosa pine tree. And the other there was another one. And then there was a smaller pine tree that was just covered in moss. And it was surrounded by manzanita bushes. But when I walked under there, there was a ton of baby pine nettles branches. Someone went to another pine tree and broke these off because the pine needles are really soft and had laid them out like a matty. Right. And you can see in the impressions that there were too small humanoid impressions and two large impressions.

all like in the fetal position. Now, deer don't do that. Deer won't collect stuff and put it down into a nest. The only thing I know that does that is large primates. I took a few pictures, but the camera I had was like everything was blurry because it was a horrible piece of junk camera. So I went and started doing the apple trap just to the south of that tree, where the other two were, and I was hearing a stifled breathing.

It was really heavy. and it's like when you're playing hide-in-seek when you're a kid and your friends are right next to you so you're trying to breathe you're excited but you're trying to stifle it and I was just like I finished the apple trap and then I walked off to go to my camera or my car to get a camera right and this time I bought just one of the little clicky throwaway cameras because I wanted to see what was up in that tree and I knew I was thinking there's probably a saucequatch or at least

of Black Bear. And I see this dough prancing, literally prancing. It's a beautiful day. She's doing the whole pepping the pews, skunk prancing thing. And I was like, oh, I'm going to take a picture of this really quickly.

And she freezes and looks at me because I'm in my army camouflage fatigues. And she looks down at my hands and notice there's no gun or boat or anything like that, just a camera. And I think she's seen enough hunters to, to recognize I wasn't the threat. And she starts prancing around the same trees I was just at. And I go around to get a better picture of her.

And just as I was about to click the photo, she looks up to the tree where the breathing was coming from. She stopped dead in her tracks, looked up, her eyes just went wide. And she dropped her ears, spun around, and then just bolted. She's looking back at what's up in that tree. tree and not knowing what she's running at. She was that terrified. And she was running at me. And I had to jump out of the way so I wouldn't get pulled over by a dough. And as soon as I looked

and when she was running, I hear this, gov-h-h-h-fong. I mean, something like seven, 800 pounds just fell out of the tree and landed on the ground. And I turned and I see this thing just dropped behind the hill. And I race to the hill because it's a large, slope that goes down about 70 yards. And then there's, and there's just nothing but like fern bushes. And then there's the tree line. And most of the trees right at that area are about 10, 15 foot tall saplings, pine trees. And when I got there, I looked up to the tree line and I see this big black mass that

is tall as those trees just barreling into them. And it wasn't a bear because it wasn't a bear because it wasn't. on a time on its four legs because that's how bears run. And this thing was fully upright and its shoulders had to be, oh, geez, at least four feet wide at the most or not at the most, but just at least that. This thing was massively cute. That was one of the other counters I had, which was pretty trippy in my point of view. about a quarter mile to the south of that, me and my son at that time,

where I was explaining how to do some tracking here and there and stuff and showing them what kind of bushes and what kind of things, plants that are around that deer would eat, bears would eat, stuff like that. And this area has been known for also people shooting guns. And we hear this gunshot, right? and I was just like, what the heck was that? And then all of a sudden, from the tree behind us, we hear this, boom, fom, fom, boom, boom, running away from us.

And I was with my son and I was like, okay, I'm not going to go chase the Sasquatch because I knew it was probably one, but he was young enough. I still didn't want to do anything. So that was one of the possible encounters. A year or so later, he got older. He had a friend. And so I took them down to the, let's see, I think it was the Blue School Mountain area. It's now no longer dense tree land and stuff.

It's overgrown with houses and stuff. And I took them to this area to teach them how to trek animals. And as we're going along, I'm explaining if you guys see bears, don't overreact, get near me, blah, blah, blah. If you see elk or deer, don't piss off the buck because they will stomp on you and butt you. And if there's a Sasquatch, do not scream in point, right? I reiterated that to him so much. And I left a big pile of dried cranberries near our van, just so I could possibly get some footsteps or footprints and stuff.

And we walked off and then we were coming back an hour later. And I just felt there was like this presence around us that when I go camping, I don't carry guns. I usually carry a sword and a taser, right? Because with the taser, you could clack it in the air, and I've driven bears away from me instantly with those things because they can feel electricity in the air, and everything knows what lightning is, and they run away. And so I pulled out my sword, and I started walking ahead to make sure the coast was clear. And that's when I hear my son's friend Russell, Greg, there it is. is any points.

And I'm seeing this black mass disappeared into the saplings, right? And this thing's at least eight feet high. And I do not know what came over me, but I just charged right at it. It was instant chasing this thing because it was near my kid. And the parental instinct just kicked in, right?

So I went charging in and I realized after about 20 feet in that, oh, God, I just left my son on the road back there, the little dirt road. And I looked behind me and here he is right on my butt. And he has this camping knife I got him that's like about 18 inches long that of the blade is. That was like a scimitar sheet. And he has that thing out like a sword. He's chasing me.

And he told me if anything would have attacked me, would just instantly came in at it. So I thought that was pretty cool. But I break through the tree line, and there's a ditch running alongside the road where like when water runoff goes, that's the way it goes. And it's about a 20-foot distance from where I was to the actual road. And I look over and I could see that something had literally landed, like two gigantic feet, like a broad, like when you're doing the running jumps and in traffic.

It just two feet landed and the dirt was still going and I can hear it thump, thump, thump off into the bushes. That was another sighting. Then there was one where I got word from some people about the guy and his buddies used to go hunting in this certain area until a bunch of saw squatches scared him out of the area. And these guys go bear hunting all the time. So it's just, okay, awesome, I'm going to go that place. So I take these young 18-year-old kids with me, and I was like teaching them about all sorts of things. And we went up, found like this fallen tree area that was like an island inside these like 30-foot deep blackberry bushes.

Anyways, there was like about eight deer that looked like they've been dismembered, the bones gnawed on. and they were in different stages of decomposition, right? And so we're like, oh, that's pretty trippy. So I grabbed a couple bones to take to a biologist. And then on our way back, right, we hear this thumping sound because we're actually on this concrete road, a forest road. And there's a hill to the right of us, like a berm, about, oh, 25 feet high. And I can hear something parallel.

telling us. And these are large bipedal footsteps. So I told the guys to stop for a second. Those stopped. We kept walking. Then stopped. The footsteps stopped. So that kept on for a while until we got to the car.

And then everybody's taking their cigarette break. And I have my video camera and I'm filming this huge clearing that they had just tree-cutted a couple of weeks early. And I looked down and apparently there was a young

Sasquatch, probably 15 years old, like kicking back behind one of these stumps using it as like a pillow. And it got up and peered over the stump to see what was all the noise. Because apparently a lot of these creatures have no clue what a human is.

It freaks them out just as much as it does us. And it sees us. and I was just like, I turn around and I go, okay, guys, don't freak out, don't look all over the place, but there's a Sasquatch behind that stump, and they all looked. And when I looked, it's no longer there. We went down there, and it's no longer there. So it must have probably slinked off and bolted or something because it was gone. It was like a couple weeks later, I took those same guys and girl to just,

a couple of miles south of Odell Lake in Oregon. So it's say about 30 miles east of where we were at Myrtle Point. And so I'm teaching them more about tracking and stuff. And there was like this big termite-ridden log just sitting there. And so I wanted to explain to them how like a saucequatch would get at the termites compared to it to a bear, right? I'd say a bear would just rip open the thing with its claws and then just lick up the termites as it goes, whereas a swathquatch would probably rip out a chunk with its hands and then use sticks to lure them on and then eat them.

And then I'm explaining the tree fall. Like all those people who have, this is a big foot home. That's just an actual tree fall. I've seen it so many times, and they're not actual Sasquatchewals. okay and I'm like explaining how like the differences of markings and like how what you could tell that one Sasquatch had went through and was smashing down trees on one area compared to the rest of all natural tree fall and weathering and winter had waited and we hear this behind us and I turned and looked and there's this

about three and a half foot Sasquatch standing there in these manzanita bushes just looking at us like completely oblivious to what we were and he's completely curious and I was like guys and they all look too

and it realized we were staring at it and it dove didn't dive but it squatted behind the bushes and as a little kid it's still curious and I still wanted to see what was going on So it was kind of like peaking over the top of the bushes, but we can still see the top of his head easily. And then one of the guys, Noah, did the old stupid thing from the Ghostbusters movie, the original, where they yells, get it. Toos the ghost.

That's what he tries to do to this creature. Now, it loud yells out the large whooping sound, really loud for such a little creature. And that's when we hear this thump coming over the hill will. And I realized that is a pissed-off parent, and we are all going to die. So I grabbed the guys and just started throwing them basically towards the car and saying, run, because that's the last thing I wanted to be able to explain to a sheriff. Yeah, they got stomp by a big foot. We all ran down to the car, got into Bronco, and then drove on.

So they were explaining how heavy the footsteps were the rest of the people where we live, and the fat guy that was with us, he's like a good 400 pounds, and it was amazing how fast he ran. I will tell you that right now, but he's trying to like jump up and stomp up and down and stuff like that, and he didn't even get close to the sound of the weight. Then one of the other incidents is I had, I was going out and I was going on my way to investigate another Bigfoot site.

and I had to stop and urinate. So I was driving along and I see this little clearing in the trees right alongside the road. And I got pulled my Bronco off the road. And this is like a dirt forest road. And there's a little outcropping cliff right there. And I was like, okay, I'll just pee off the cliff. No big deal. And so I decided as I started to,

urinate and the cliff is probably about 15 feet down and then it's a slope a good 60 degree slope for another 150 yards and that's another forestry clearing where they had cleared out the logs and trees and stuff and as soon as I started peeing I guess literally that was the sound and I'm like oh I think I peed on something and I looked down and here's this Sasquatch all pissed off and looking at me like you just peed on me. And we then, it only, it was like just a split second, and then we both realized what we were looking at. And the creature, the Sasquatch, forced himself against the cliff so he couldn't be seen.

And I'm sitting there and I basically just stopped urinating because of what just happened. And I moved to the left. And like I said, it was kind of like an outcropping. And it sees me and it shoves over to the right side. And I'm like, oh, I got to go get my video camera. And that's when I started hearing the loud whooping sound. And I look to my right or my left as I turn to go get to my camera. And here's another softwatch running up the hill.

And this one is a very slender one, probably about five feet tall. I'd say maybe 200 pounds, right? And I know it's not the one down below. of the cliff because I just had turned. And I was running towards the car, realized that I had not finished taking care of myself. So I had to do that really fast. And that's when I hear this. It sounded like King Kong running down the mountainside towards me and my vehicle.

And it was like no roaring or anything, just stomping and smashing trees. And I was like freaking out. and I drove away. That one was a very intensive experience on that one. Okay, and then, geez, what was that other one? Talking about those ones just made me forget that last one. But anyways, is there any questions you got? Yeah, absolutely.

My goodness, Greg. That's some amazing accounts. And that's not even the other paranormal stuff I had to deal with. I'm absolutely sure that there's other stuff. If you're experiencing this stuff on the Bigfoot side, there's probably a lot of other stuff too. When you had your 10-year-old experience, what year was that approximately? 1980.

Okay, cool. Great. About your experience with you and your buddies, Greg and Sean, have you or them ever gone through any hypnosis to try to unlock what happened that night? No, actually, I never have, but I've been wanting to think of it. I was like trying to think about maybe I should, but as I think about it, now I think I know what had happened. But I actually have not gone through hypnosis therapy to get the memories unlocked. Gotcha.

Have you talked to either of those friends later on in life as adults? No, I lost contact with Sean as soon as he left Colorado because I was a young boy and his dad was. so upset with us. He's, what did you guys do to him? He demanded to go back home immediately. And I was just like, I tried to explain him to him what happened. And he basically took it like a green assault.

He was just, okay. And then Greg, his family had left Colorado for a few years. He came back when I was like about 16. And then I tried to talk to him about it. And he's like looking at me like, he was, upset, pissed off. I don't know what you need. I don't want to talk about that kind of attitude. I just dropped it from there and that was it with him. And then I lost contact with him when I was about 17 because his family moved out of Colorado again. Gotcha. When you were walking that girl home,

was that on Crystal Hill Boulevard in Manitou Springs? I think so. It was, It was very dimly lit. It was like it was the one main road that kind of went up. And I was about half mile to a quarter mile up the hill from when it turned off from Manateau Springs Boulevard. Gotcha. Yeah, because if you look at a map of it, it looks like that one road goes right up into the woods. And there's even a trailhead at the end of it where. Yeah, it goes all the way up.

And we've been up to some of the cabins that are up there. and if I remember there was like a pond up there and this is all before the actual trail heads and stuff. Mantu has definitely changed a lot since I was last there. It's just some of the things I grew up with aren't there anymore or buildings now cover up half the mountain and just so I'm just like oh okay. Like the cog railway's gone but they left the stairway. Nice. That's weird. campus specifically of Central Oregon Community College was that? It was the one in West Bend.

So there's a city called Bend, Oregon, and it was on the western side of it. And at that point in time, that was the west of the city. There was no buildings or houses west of that. Now there's all sorts of communities out there. It just, geez. But it was, we just called it. It was the Central Oregon Community Cert College. But it's, I think there was a Circle K.

You went off of, oh, what was that road? Oh, not Kingston, not Newton. I think it started with an end. But you would drive down that road and there was a Circle K. And then you took a right and it's a road that goes up a hill. And then that's where the community college was. And you went through the college area on that one road, and there was an apartment complex called the Regency Apartments. And that's where me and my friend lived.

Gotcha. And what year would that have been approximately? That was, I think, 1988. Gotcha. Okay. Then we mentioned Marcola for quite a bit, which has come up on the show at least once. I talked to an older individual about, he had similar things happen. So everything that you mentioned about Marcolla, I was like, yeah, this totally tracks.

It's out in the sticks, right? North of. Yeah, when I was out there, it's like northeast or northeast by east of Eugene Springfield, about, I think it's 15 miles or something like that. It takes you a while to drive out there. And like, I used to talk to my friend. and their neighbors, their dogs would be barking and barking because they'd hear something in the creek. And when it gets closer, the barking stops and then the whining starts.

And we had one evening where me and my friend are in his house and we're talking. And he has to take his pit bull outside because the dog is not well human trained at all. It'll tear up dogs. It'll tear up a bear. It'll tear up humans if it can. they trained it to be a literally a hyper-aggressive attack dog. So when we come over, he has to go put it in its cage. It's not like a small pen.

It's like a 15 by 15 foot fence that's about 10 feet high, right? Just chaneling fence. And we're sitting there watching a show and all of a sudden you hear all the dogs start barking. Right. And then all of a sudden you hear his dog barking and then instantly go to a like a yelping wine. Like he is terrified. And next thing you know,

as you hear him, trying to scramble over the chain link fence. And then we hear the stump, and then he's scratching at the door. So he was terrified. I did have one other encounter down in Phoenix, or not Phoenix, but Cave Creek, Oregon.

I don't know if there's a Sasquatch or not. There's a lot of weird paranormal areas that were down in the area. and me and two other friends were, or four friends were actually camping. There was me, Tim, and Jason. And we were down at the base of this thing called, what was that canyon called? Christopher Creek, I think, is what the actual creek was, because there was all these waterfalls that you can do. You can cliff jump off and stuff, and that's why we'd go there.

And we were camping in one area by there. and he, my friend Tim, the second Tim, actually had about a 200-pound chow. Now, this dog was not afraid of anything. He would go after Havilinas. He'd go after anything. And he was a big, tough dog. We're sitting all in the tent, talking and stuff. And next thing we know, we hear this kind of like thumping sound around the tent.

But it was in the good distance away. And that's when the chow just. busts right through the tent and starts hiding behind his master and trembling and whining. So that was it for that one. But continue with your questions. That's very interesting because before you brought that up, literally like half a second or half a minute, I had written down, ask about Green Peter Reservoir, which is in the same area, but that is further out than Green Peter. In Arizona?

No. So you were talking about, were you talking about Cave Creek, Oregon? No. Oh, you were talking about Cave Creek, Arizona. No, Crystal Creek, Arizona. It's a creek by Payson, Arizona. Oh, okay. So if you drive up from Phoenix and you go to Payson, there's a main road.

You take right going east, and it takes you east, and then there's a road like it was a dirt road that take you off and down into the mountains or down to the creek. but now, and you look at the maps, it's kind of filled with houses and stuff like that. Gotcha. So that's actually closer to the Grand Canyon, it looks like. Actually, I don't know. Yeah, let's see. Where was Grand Canyon compared to Phoenix?

Because it's like you go up out of the actual, if you've ever been to Arizona, right, you got the mountain green mountains-like thing, and then it just, you go to this edge. And it literally looks like the land just dropped a few thousand feet. Like just sheer cliffs all the way down. It goes for miles and miles. And then that's where the desert of Phoenix and all that stuff is.

Interesting. Okay. Very cool. Very cool. Let me see here. Okay. The question I had put down about Marcolla is you had mentioned there was a history of other people in the town seeing Sasquatch. Yes.

Are there other things then that you've heard about experiences in that area? No, not really. I've heard of just the Sasquatches from the few of the people I've talked to. And they're like, my friend over here, they saw one crossing their yard and that sort of stuff. But I mainly was going out there to pick him up and then going up down up to the wirehouser tree farm, which is the Shotkin Creek area of Oregon by Marcola, to go do my experiments in my like walking around and all that stuff and research. Because like me, I was a big fan of Jane Goodall. I watched all her documents. She's read her books. And the one thing that

was persistently there was her persistently going into areas before she even got to know any of the chimps and just sit there and watch and listen. And then the chimps started coming around because they grew calm and confident with her presence that she wasn't a threat. And that's basically what I kept going up there for was to make sure that I was at a calm presence and stuff. I'd bring up like a radio with didgeridoo music, different kinds of music to try to lure animals out. And the one that lured deer out left and right was bagpipe music.

Don't ask me why. I just remember playing the bagpipe music. And within 20 minutes, it's like a herd of deer coming up. What's that sound out here? And it's just, I wonder if they're like thinking, hey, that's cousin Jed. That's funny. How long do you think it took, let's say, using that that Jane Goodall method of just, hanging out in an area before you started to have some activity, if any? Most of them were me just driving up into that area over and over again, and the spread of the areas themselves, I would say, was probably a few square miles. But they were like different, I mean, they had to be different softwatches because the size

and the proportions of them, what they look like. Oh, there was one other sighting that I did forget to mention, and that was the day I saw another one, but this one was so fast. It was incredibly fast. And I had camouflaged my Bronco, like, with Army Camo, and I'm driving up the road, and there's this Sasquatch sitting on the side of the road, and it's like a three-foot berm that he's on. And he's looking at an area where you can see it's a large deer trail. The herds go up and down. And he looks over and he sees my Bronco because it's out of the movement of his eye. And he basically didn't think about it because I had camouflaged everything.

All the chrome, the bumpers, everything was Army Cammo. Not the new stangled digital camouflage, but the old green, brown, tan, light green, loam, that kind of painting. And I've actually drove it up to, we were a deer in the road. and they just stop and they're like looking at me and then they see me as a human and then they run off. But he just kind of took one look, didn't think about it for about a second and a half, and then he looked and noticing that the bush is driving up the road.

And that's when he got up and took off and ran. And he must have did 100 yards in about five seconds. It was that fast. And that thing was probably a dead seven feet tall. So you actually got to see it cover 100, yards in a few seconds. How would you describe the way that it was running? There's a lot of fallen logs everywhere. And like I said, there's a lot of old growth. And because it had longer arms, it would run on all on its hind legs. But as soon as it got near a

log, it would just like instantly kind of curl his legs up for a split second as he uses those arms to go straight over it and then instantly back. But the thing was is they didn't run with their arms like what we do. If you ever see like those marathon runners where they're so exhausted, their arms are just kind of like hanging out their waist, but they're still going back and forth a little bit. And that's the way this thing ran, but it was so fast because I had raced up to where he was. And he was only about 30 yards for me.

And I was in my Broncos. So I went br- as soon as he started going, I stopped and I tried to get a picture with this crappy camera that I was telling you about that was like everything's blurry. And so I got a picture of just at the back of his head. And it was that fast. It was just like so quick. It was insanely fast. Could you notice any specific movements that were being done by its legs while it was running? For the like second and a half that I actually saw, yeah, his legs were not like chimp feet or legs.

They weren't like normal eights. These were designed for walking long periods like ours. And its legs were probably, I'd say about two-thirds the length of their arms. And he just, he didn't have a motion like most people say they have the, broken gate kind of thing where their legs are always bent. No, this thing was so fast. It was just like it was gone. A lot of witnesses will say something to the effect of it seemed to be gliding or making a gliding motion when it was moving.

Was there anything like that present? No, no. It was like its head didn't like bob up and down. but it was so fast and it just moved so quickly that the only thing I could think of is when like we would if I ran that territory that straight line I would have actually had been lob jumping over man's needed bushes jumping over logs and stuff like that and this thing just went straight through them like it was nothing wow that would be fantastic to see at any point during any of these stories there's a few times when you mentioned like you're trying to get video or photographing photos, were you able at any point to get any video footage or photos of what you were looking at? Well, I did have one video that I had, which was the one behind the stump. Now, here's the weird thing is about three days after that, apparently I forgot to lock the house. Me and my wife and kids had went out for lunch and then hang out the arcade at the mall. We came back and here's this one guy, his name was Scotty, and he's not all the way there in the head, right? But he's an extremely nice person and very trustworthy, right?

And he's got like a split personality issue, but he's like sitting right in front of my house on the curb. And I was like, what's up, Scotty's? I came over to talk to you. I knocked on your door before I knocked on your door. I seen your door open. I didn't go inside. I wanted to know if you were home. So I said, are you there, Greg?

But you weren't home. So I decided to sit here and make sure nobody got in your home. And I was just like, okay. So we instantly, me and my wife walked in and started looking at all the values. TV's there. The Xbox is there. The PlayStation's there for all her jewelry's there. Nothing had been ransacked.

The only thing that was gone. was the one videotape that I made of the Bigfoot thing. But I do have the one photo of the one softwatch that ran off so fast, and I got the back of his head. Because like I said, I had this little camera. I'm pretty sure it was called the phaser, even though I can't find it online anywhere anymore. But this thing was a $10 POS.

And you just pointed and shoot, there's no, focusing or anything like that. It looks like a little laser gun. That is the one actual photo I actually was able to take of it. And then, yeah, it was, so I got that. But what I did was I drew and sketches of a lot of the actual incidences of what I saw. And I've been interviewed by the Southern Texas Bigfoot Company or group in a I gave them the sketchings. I gave sketchings to this other film company.

Then Charles Sasser contacted me because he was commissioned from his publisher to write a book about Bigfoot and the people who researched them. And he contacted me and asked if he can do, he can get an interview. So I did that and then sent him copies of those of the sketches as well. and then there was another two people that interviewed me for YouTube that I did as well. And so I'm willing to send you the copies of those sketches and the photo if you want. Yeah, I would absolutely love that. I think that would be cool to put in the YouTube version. I don't know if you'd be okay with that.

Yeah, that would be fine. Awesome. Like I said, the more people know the better it is. Now, I do have a few suggestions for the people who are researchers now and people who are wanting to research. One thing is get yourself a 360 camera. Stop relying on cell phones. Stop relying on just normal video cameras. Because when you're moving that video camera around and that Sasquot sees you pointing at it,

it might think it's a weapon or something and hide. but now if you actually have a 360 camera like the one I have is an Insta 360 X3 they got better versions now but what it does is it shoots film in two 180 degree camera angles right one on the front one on the back you just either put that on your head or you carry a the selfie pole that it has and then they got a studio that you can just have it for auto automatically format the 360 video. And then you can go back to saying, okay, I'm starting it at this time on this day. And then let's say you heard like a Sasquatch or something.

Instead of you looking at it and scaring it off, you can sit there and stop, have people pull out a little bit of food or something and then just hold the pole or set it up somewhere to where it's just watching the 3 to 60 video. and then you can go back and move your camera angle around via your screen by locking onto it, moving it around, and you'll be able to see the Sasquatchairs or whatever that's in that vicinity without actually having to turn. The other one is if you are with a large group of people, okay, you're not going to see a softwatch.

Okay, those things are going to hear you coming and they're going to hide. They're going to leave. I think they can smell gun oil, and that's why hunters rarely see them. But the best groups to have is about four people. Having a female in the group as well, I think is a very beneficial thing because I think her voice will basically drop down their defenses, and they won't be uptight to like, oh, there's a bunch of hunters. and they'll be like, oh, there's a woman there.

So let's check it out. But the biggest thing is if you hear a Sasquatch near you, okay, stop, sit down, relax, and then pretend to groom each other, like what chimps and gorillas do, going through their hair and pretending to pick out little mites and gnats and stuff like that and eat them. and to primates, that's their, that's a mark of relaxation, like total relaxation. They're comfortable. They're relaxed in this area.

So the Sasquatch is going to see that and be more relaxed because now you guys are relaxed. And heck, you may get lucky and have one come up and lay next to you and want to be groomed itself. That would probably be a big first on Sasquatch research. but the largest one out of all is don't scream in point. Because that's the worst thing you can do is screaming point because you stare, you scare it, and then basically it's gone. That's some great advice. The grooming advice is very interesting.

Is that something that you had figured out yourself from maybe your research into Jane Goodall? Or is that something that you had picked up from another researcher? Actually, it's a culmination of Jane Goodall's research, Diane Fossi's research. You probably know more of her work from the movie Gorilla in the Mist. But then also all the other documentaries I have watched where the chimps or gorillas, orangutans, any primates, even baboons, once they get to an area where they feel comfortable and relaxed, that's when they start grooming each other. And this one is helping build up bonds with each other, social hierarchy, in building up

friendships and just getting those bugs out of your hair. But it's also a comforting factor. It's just like when women go to a beauty salon and getting their hair done and it's being washed and dried and relaxed, these women, and I'll tell you the truth, I've gone to a couple of the salons and with my wife and did the same thing. It's very relaxing. So this is the way that you will be able to draw softwashes out more because they will be relaxed, showing you're relaxed, you're not hunting, and they can come up closer and get a better view. Because one thing, they're curious. They are very curious. So if you have a 360

the camera that you're doing and then you hear this creature. If you could put it on a small tripod in from between all of you guys while you're sitting there pretending to be grooming, you might get some extremely good footage. And that is really good. That's really solid advice. That's probably some of the more solid advice we've gotten on the show. Thank you. I would love to hear if anyone ever tries that and is successful.

A few locations that came to mind that are in the general vicinity of encounters that you've talked about. So maybe here at the end, we'll just throw some of them out here and see if you've ever heard anything about these areas. And if not, that's no problem. Fall Creek. That sounds really familiar. That's by Lowell and Winbury in Lane County. Is that in Oregon or Washington? It's an Oregon. It's if you take 58 out of Eugene and then you go down to Oak Ridge area.

Oh, okay. Yeah. No, I've never had that any sightings in that area. Like I've talked to people before, the Bohemian Mining District, I know has a good, rich history of Sasquatches. They're mountain ape devils is what some people have called them. One incident, I took my kid up to the top of the Bohemian Mountain. They have a fire watch tower there and a big picnic table. And we went up there a couple of different times. And the picnic table is a good 600 pounds. These logs are six by six or six by fours.

The whole thing is just solid. And I noticed one day when we had went up there that the table looked like it had been just completely flipped off the air. area onto the cave, onto almost the road below. But because if you had a bunch of people picking it up and trying to shuffle and chuck it, you would definitely see their footsteps shuffling. This is like something just walked up and just flipped it off. But that's not the real thing was I drove up there and I spoke at a conference in Hillsborough about the differences of species of Sasquatch.

because there's not just one roaming around in America, but there's several. And I was talking to them about it, and my kids bought a Bigfoot sticker that said Bigfoot lives and put it on the back of my Bronco without me knowing it. And I didn't take it off. I was like, the kids spent their hard-earned money on one, so that's fine. And I drove up, and there was this group of people that drove up on quads. and one of the guys is about six foot seven and he was a big guy and they're all talking and they're all standing in a line and they're like standing side by side and I'm talking to him and I just like

if any of you guys heard anything about toss-watches around here or anything and the incidences and they're like why and I was like oh if you notice that a bumper sticker I do research and the guys just, oh, I got an incident. And right before he could really say that, the other started sniggering. And he raised his hand, I will slap all of you. And they're like, oh, geez, this guy has never acting like that towards us. He's like, let me tell you something. And he was talking about one of the roads around there. I can't remember what forestry number it was. But him and his buddy drive up there, like a few months before elk season and deer season. so they can get a scouting of the land.

And this time they drove up in his friend's Ranchero. And they see this huge, gigantic fur-covered humans, solid black, covers the entire forest road in two steps, right? And he's like, it takes me six just to walk across the road. So this thing was huge. And they stopped the vehicle that got out to go and investigate more. and he got about 50 feet into the woodline when he had this overwhelming sense of fear. And he realized that his 44 magnum pistol wasn't going to be enough protection to protect him.

So he started running back for the ranchero, and his friend was already in it and had it started driving off because he was that terrified. And he had to literally dive into the back of the ranchero. okay then that same day i met two guys just kicking back in the back of their truck and asked them about the about the area and one of them giggled and the other one got pissed he's like dude you don't know anything remember my grandpa he's yeah he's just the world war two vet he had an incident here and it reminded me so much of the albert oatesman experience not being kidnapped but being chased by him he was hunting an animal animal. I think the guy said it was a deer. And all of a sudden, he hears these rocks being landed by

him. And he sees like four saw squatches when he freaked out and fired at a couple of them. And they started hooting and chucking rocks harder at him. And that's when he started running out of the canyon. And they kept up with him for about a mile. And then he just got into his vehicle and hauled butt. But the biggest incident there was a historical record from the sheriff's department. 1960s, a biker gang robbed a gas station. And their local haunt was the Bohemian mining area. The sheriff gathered a posse together to go bring these guys to justice. And as they're driving up towards the mining district, all these motorcyclists or bikers are driving down. Now, they have stuff hanging off their motorcycles, tents.

It's like some of just drove through the tents. You know, and these guys are freaking out. They got off their motorcycles and they ran up to the sheriff and were pleading to save them. Because some gigantic hairy monsters came in and attacked their camp. That's incredible. That's Bohemian Mine area. Yeah. Yeah, because there's all sorts of failed mines where people dig in about like,

50 feet and there's nothing. So they go to another area, go to another area. A lot of black bear live in there. There's a lot of deer, some pumas, some wolves, all sorts of floor and fauna for a bear to be able to eat. And also creeks to get fish out of. Last location area I'll ask you about is, have you ever heard anything about the Union Creek or prospect area?

the Union Creek Yeah Union Creek or prospect is west of Crater Lake Prospect No but I've heard people talk about incidences in Crater Lake Or the camping areas that are surrounded Oh well Most of them were vague like people are camping

And they hear stick snapping And they see this large bipedal creature in the tree lines, but not really doing anything. And I've had people, you know, ask me people who want to do research and stuff to look in their areas where it would be a good area to go researching. And so I like scour or Google Earth or the map sections and then look for areas that would be really good for these researchers to go look at. because the best way to the calculation is the less humans accessible, the better, right?

If you have to hike a couple miles off of a road, the better. A lot of flora that they can eat, a lot of fauna, chipmunks, birds, good deer population, even if it's like a mountain goat population. And then adequate water sources, that's the biggest thing right there. because all life is drawn to water. So if you can find creeks, you can find not really huge lakes that much, but rivers, creeks, a lot of these places are really good hotspots to get Sasquatches. They'll eat crayfish.

They'll eat any type of shellfish that can get their hands on. They'll eat chipmunks. I've read reports of people coming up and seeing these gigantic holes in the grass. and all these boulders stacked up, and people couldn't understand why, and one guy witnessed these Sasquatches moving these boulders and grabbing bolts and just popping them in their mouth

and just chewing them up and eat them. There was a lot of, I researched a lot, I think I still have the map of Washington, Oregon area that I can send you as well. That is like, I did a blotter map of about 150 years worth of sightings. Oh, wow. That's very cool.

They're very cool. The Americans to whites and whatever, from police to researchers to campers. And so, like, the red ones are hostile. These are just straight up hostile sightings. They chuck rocks at people. They chase them, roar at them. But I think there's only six fatalities I researched. And most of these were because someone should.

shot at them or shot up. Then the other ones are blue. Those are semi-aggressive to passive. In other words, they see you when they run away or they stand there and watch you maybe menously growl a little bit and then you walk off or something like that. Those are about it. So the larger, the dot, the more sightings that are in that area. And some of them, one of the trippiest incidents as I researched was over in Sandy, Oregon. A guy and his wife have a land out there, and they hear some gunshots off in the distance. And so the wife goes out of the door first.

The husband went to go get his rifle. They go out there. He comes out of the door, and his wife was standing at the edge of their property, which is 50 yards from their house. And all of a sudden what he sees is a gigantic, like, 11 foot tall, hairy man, just fur covered. Looking at his wife with such intense hatred,

picks her up and then throws her about 40 yards into Blackberry bushes. And him and his friend actually had to have other people come out and carve a path to get her out of the Blackberry bushes. I think she needed like 122 stitches. Did you actually interview this guy? No, I didn't. A lot of these research I get from the books that have been published. Oh, okay.

Yeah. And also the Bigfoot mapping project and also the BFRO. Absolutely. Because I actually talk to some of the investigators of the BFRO, and they're very intelligent. Two of them were law enforcement. So they grill you back and forth. I trust you make sure that your story straight. The investigators are good.

I've talked to a lot of them. Yeah. Wow, Greg. What has it been an incredible chat with you? Thank you for taking the time to share what you've experienced and answer all the questions that I've had. I really appreciate it. I want to make sure if there is anything that you want to have people check out, feel free to share that at this time. I don't know if there's anything.

Okay. One, me and my wife run a gluten-free lifestyle YouTube channel. And this is for people who know. people are celiacs or have to be gluten-free or they are themselves. It's good by gluten and it's the word good. There's a dash and then B-Y-E and then gluten afterwards. And if you pop up a YouTube channel that has an orange backgroundish with some like chopsticks and forks and spoons and stuff, that's hard. We do all sorts of recipes, food product reviews. And I will tell you most of the food I've tried that were gluten-free are good. And then there's some that it says, oh, why did my

kid make me eat this? Then I also have another YouTube channel that actually has all sorts of movies, video gaming, but it has me talking about my encounters of Sasquatch with the actual maps of the area and with the sketches and photos, the actual areas that I did. And, And the YouTube channel is called Chaos Entertainment, and that's C-H-A-O-S and the entertainment. But there's a couple of them. Mine's the oldest, but you have to look for the ones that have green and yellow lettering and like a space-looking weird background. And that's mine. Let's see.

What else is there? There's links to like my books and my artwork that are there. because one of my actual books is called Sions of Michael. And there's actually Sasquatches in there, a ton of them, actually. Michael, the Archangel comes down to earth to protect the new Mary, ends up meeting a family of Sasquatches, and then leading an army of Sasquatches into Seattle, all adorned with angelic armor and weaponry to fight demons and monsters.

So it's a pretty good book for a good read. That's awesome. We'll have to link that for sure in the show notes. Yeah, because you can buy that on Amazon or order it out from Barnes & Noble. Okay, cool. Yeah, absolutely. I have a couple of Bigfoot books out there that are like, one's a short story. Just forgot what the book was called.

It's linked up in my Amazon page. Okay. And that actually has a Sasquatch story. Let's see. And I think that's about it for right now. I've been pretty busy working on my new Carmelcorn company. But I'm tending to get back out into research as soon as I can because the only reason why I stopped it was because I got really sick from my allergies and my immunity system got so compromised that literally I was bedridden. for several months.

Oh, my goodness. And so I couldn't, yeah, I couldn't leave the bed. I was wanting to just die because I felt so horrible. And that's when how I got celiac and we had to be gluten-free. And then I moved up to Washington and healed up a lot better. So now I'm ready to take my youngest son out, who's now 25 and go do researching and stuff like that and got a lot more equipment. I got myself a nice drone, 360 camera. Hopefully my drone won't get attacked by one video I saw where the dude's drone's flying over and all of a sudden you just see this giant stick just fly up.

Oh, yeah. Yep. Yeah. I know what you're talking about. Greg, thank you so much. Definitely listeners check all that out in the show notes. Keep us in the loop. If anything else does happen in the future, Greg would love to hear about it.

but thank you so much for coming on the show. I greatly appreciate it. Oh, thank you for having me and text me that email so I could send you all that. Absolutely. Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners. If you're in the military, any branch or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a national park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground or if you're with the FBI,

a federal agency, or working intelligence, and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense, if you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field or trucker with government contracts, and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul and if you're a biologist a wildlife specialist or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report if you're a pastor a missionary or someone on a spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith or if you work in the shadows

CIA NSA or anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't then i want to talk to you even if it's anonymous you can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail.com. The world needs to hear what you've been forced to carry alone and you're not alone. You've got the story.
