Starting point is 00:01:48 In Bigfoot Society, I've taken far too much of your time so far, so let's get on with the show. Three, two, one. All right, Bigfoot Society, I got the privilege of talking to Al Santa Riga today. Some people might know him. Well, actually, most people might know him as the Squatch father. How's it going today, Al? It's going. Good, Jeremiah.
Starting point is 00:02:18 How you doing? I'm doing great, man. I'm excited to talk to you. We've been trying to make this happen for a while. And we finally were able to get you on. You reached out and said, hey, I got some time. So let's make it happen. You are out from the great state of New York.
Starting point is 00:02:32 And you've been involved with quite a few things out there. For example, you're the founder director of the New York State. UFO project, the New York State Sasquatch Organization, the New York State Dogman Project, and also the director of the North American Dogman Project, New York State Chapter. And also a member of Mufon, many different things. Any other things that you'd want to make sure that you know? Absolutely. The Broxville paranormal society is the mother, the mothership of all of these things.
Starting point is 00:03:07 But it all started from there and then branched off into different. little genres. Absolutely. You know, I'd love to know right off the bat, what's the story of the name The Squatch Father? That sounds like it could be pretty interesting. Oh, I was doing a show for Chris Reinhardt from the Discovery Sasquatch, from Connecticut.
Starting point is 00:03:33 And, you know, my heavy Bronx accent and being Italian, you know what I mean? So he came up with the Squatch father and it kind of just stuck from there. That's awesome. Are you from a certain part in New York that you'd be okay, Sharon, for context? Yeah, sure. Yeah, I grew up in Yonkers, New York, and, you know, spent a lot of time. Yonkers is like an extension of the Bronx since I spent a lot of time in the Bronx as well, you know, growing up. So, yeah, so I mean, like people, a lot of people can't understand me because of my New York accent.
Starting point is 00:04:15 You know what I mean? They have a lot of trouble understanding what I'm saying sometimes. So, or they'll get, they'll say, is that a Brooklyn accent? I'll say, no, that's a Bronx accent. Absolutely. I grew up in Western Massachusetts. So I've heard the New York accent a few times. So I get it.
Starting point is 00:04:35 It's a good sound. I like it. I am curious to know. I always like to hear what was it that first got you into Bigfoot in the beginning? Well, I mean, that's easy. My brother is a parapsychologist. And he always had books in the house that on all kinds of things. You know, all aspects of the paranormal.
Starting point is 00:05:05 He used to work with Han Holzer's right-hand man and their psychic. I think her name was Ethel. And so, you know, my mother was a psychic. My aunt was a white witch. I had a cousin who was a black witch. You know what I mean? And so the paranormal in my family was just normal. and one thing led to another.
Starting point is 00:05:35 I remember, man, it must have been 10 years old with all of my cousins. We all lived on the same neighborhood. It was like a dozen of us. We went to the movies one Saturday at C. James Bond and something like that. And at the end of the movie, they had the Patty film, Patty Gibblein film.
Starting point is 00:05:53 And I remember turning into my cousin Dino and saying, man, that thing, that's real. That's no hoax. That's the real deal, you know. And, you know, of course, all my cousins, you know, broke my chops over it and stuff, you know. But I just had a gut feeling from the moment I've seen that video that that was the real deal. And then, you know, every Friday, we used to have to take books out of the library to read over the weekend in school. So I was always that kid with the, you know, the nest, the lock nest monster, the bonnable snowman.
Starting point is 00:06:31 And, you know, I was at a kid who picked up all those books, the UFO books, the ghost books. That was me, you know. So that's how it got started. I love that. Bigfoot. That's so good. Just being able to see that footage in the theater, that must have been incredible. What a privilege to be able to see that at that point in time when they were showing that in the theaters.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Yeah. I mean, on that big screen, it was great. And then, you know, I was about 10 at that time. Two years later, I had my first Bigfoot experience down in South Florida. That was just insane. And, you know, after that, I wasn't a believer. I was an hour. And the rest is history, you know.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Yeah, so that's interesting. So you had a, do you feel you had a skunk ape sighting down in South Florida? You said? Oh, yeah, absolutely. I had a major siding down in South Florida. Absolutely. I mean, not only was the creature walked right by our house. I mean, literally right along the side of our house,
Starting point is 00:07:40 but it attacked a wild horse in our development. And it ripped the head off of Brahma Bull, too. You know what I mean? It's a crazy story. And the night it ripped the head off the Brahma Bowl, my brother-in-law and sister would just get home from and I out in Miami and me and my cousin Anthony were babysitting the kids. And we heard some like horrific scream.
Starting point is 00:08:06 We didn't know what it was. Then we heard a shotgun go off. And we jumped in my Brogmo's car to go see what was going on. Long story short. We got caught behind the deputy sheriff doing a patrol. And everybody was looking to the left because that's where he had a spotlight because that's what the swamp was. And the creature ran out from the right and he hit it with his car.
Starting point is 00:08:27 and when he hit it I mean my brother when the creature got back up and it limped over to this police car and it punched this police car with like a hammer punch with both hands and the back of the car
Starting point is 00:08:40 came off the ground and my cousin Anthony was sitting in the front seat and I was in the back but I was hanging out of my brother-in-law's sunroof so it was like it was right there
Starting point is 00:08:52 you know a car lengthed away from me screaming and the scream just goes right through you. I mean, every fiber in your body of vibrates and it's just unreal. I mean, I tell people all the time be careful what you wish for
Starting point is 00:09:11 because the first time you see this creature up close and personal, your brain will not be able to comprehend what your eyes are saying. And that's just like a little tidbit of the experience. There's so much in what it goes on with it. But, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:27 I don't know where you want to go tonight, so we'll just keep going. That's very interesting. So, man, it almost makes me wonder, did you ever see if you could get like a released report about that night? I wonder if they had to write anything about, you know, a skunk ape punching out their car window or anything at that. Well, you know, it was crazy because that particular summer, 1974, down of South Florida, there was a drought and there were fires in the Everglades. My sister lived right on the edge of the Everglades and the development called Sunshine Acres. And all the creatures were coming inland. All the animals were coming inland.
Starting point is 00:10:14 And there was a lot of Stunkeap reports in our area from local sheriffs and state police and stuff like that. and county police. And then it started happening in our development. And when that particular incident happened, we thought for sure that the next day there would be all kinds of news reporters at our house because we were the only witnesses to it because the sheriff was actually coming around
Starting point is 00:10:40 the far end of the development. It was like a big square, two miles square. And when he came down and he seen the car totaled, he was like, you know, what happened? And he was taking our report. He took the deputy's report. He said, why don't you shoot it? back then they carried the shotgun in between the two seats up front and the deputy just said the shotgun wasn't big enough you know um
Starting point is 00:11:01 i always say the creature was about nine feet tall maybe 900 pounds i'm probably being light on his weight um but he was he was a big boy he was definitely a big boy and uh and i always i you know when when we found out that it had ripped the head off of the brahma bull i could believe it because I had seen that Brahma bull up close and personal one. That Bromable was like the size of a minivan. If he was 2,500 pounds, he was an ounce, you know? And I couldn't just, I just couldn't believe the strength that this creature had. And so we thought we would get all these people come to our house because that night, the sheriff called in the state police the county police, they came in with helicopters, they came in with horses, they came in with dogs.
Starting point is 00:11:51 1974 south florida town we were in it's called davy was still a cowboy town the biggest thing that happened in that town was the rodeo on the fourth of july every pickup truck had three rifles in the window you know what i mean and they couldn't find anything and we thought for sure we were going to be interviewed you know but no one ever showed up at our house and um i gave that report to the guy who ran the Skunkake Museum in Florida. And a woman from the BFRR, her name was ReMagolith or something like that. She was the director for Florida. She had read it and she reached out to me.
Starting point is 00:12:32 And she did, she put together this comprehensive sightings. You know, it's on the BFR site us websites called the South Florida Skunkate something or another. But she actually got area shots of Sunshine Acres. The development, and she showed where, like, the course rancher lived, where the cattle rancher lived, and all of this stuff. And then she, at the end of my thing, a woman named Savilla Irwin, she's an artist. Yep. She did an artist's rendering of what I seen.
Starting point is 00:13:07 She put that in the report. And then she put, like, 30 other articles in the newspaper, all that happened around that time in there. And then she went on to tell me, she was like the same age I was, and her father, she lived in the next town over, and her father had a business in Davy. And she went to tell me that her uncle
Starting point is 00:13:28 was a police officer in the next town south of us, a new city, I think it was called, something like that. And he had two books, the official report and the unofficial report. And that particular time, they were getting a lot of calls for peep and tombs.
Starting point is 00:13:46 And when they would get out there, and, you know, try to sneak up on the peepa top, it was a skunk ape when they hit him with the flashlight, and the skunk ape would jump into the swamp and swim away, you know. And so they had an official report and an unofficial report, and she was going to get her uncle's unofficial book on all the sightings that happened. And she was going to put out a book at some point.
Starting point is 00:14:10 I don't know if she ever did, but she did an amazing job on my experience, when she wrote it up on the BFR website. And yeah, it's just crazy. I mean, she put so much work into what I was blown away by what she did. You know, it's just really above and beyond the call of duty. That sounds absolutely, excuse me, that sounds absolutely incredible. I'll definitely have that in the show notes because I'm seeing the link already.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Okay. But, man, this is such a wild story. Going back to the Brahma Bull. So was that a thing where? The act of, like someone saw the skunk ape actually ripped the head off? Or it was a thing where the creature was found and there is enough evidence where it was like, okay, this is what must have happened? Well, no, what happened was it was two o'clock in the morning. It was pitch blackout.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Okay. And the farmer, the cattle ranch, you didn't have any lights in his pasture. and my brother lost so we were getting out of the car and we were we were we need my brother had asked if there was any action and we said no and then we heard this blood curdling scream or cry
Starting point is 00:15:26 and we didn't know what it was it was definitely not the skunk gave we've heard the skunk gave at this point go off you know in the swamp this was not the scumkut no one knew what it was but then right after that we seen the shotgun blast coming from the cattle ranchers farm so we
Starting point is 00:15:44 knew something had happened there, you know? And when we got there, when we actually, eventually, we followed the sheriff to the cattle branches farm because he said to the sheriff, you got to come see what this damn creature did to my prize. Bull, when we went back there and the sheriff was panning the pasture with his spotlight, the bull was like just bleeding out with no head. The head was 100 yards away inside of the pasture, you know, and you can see like the, I, there was, there was definitely footprints of the creature where the bull was dead, you know what I mean? So that's how we just assume. We'll be back with more Bigfoot Society after these words from our sponsors. I have type 2 diabetes, but I manage it well.

Just absolute silence. Turns out some flavors don't need explaining. They just need dipping. It's saucy season at KFC with new honey chili crisp and jalapena ranch. Get dipping with a boneless. bucket today. Prices in participation vary. I mean, I don't know if the paddle ranch or seen him do it or if he just heard the
Starting point is 00:18:41 scream and he came out blasting. You know what I mean? Because on our little development, we had a lot of action. Like in the beginning of the story experience, a friend of ours who, his father owned a horse ranch down the street would take tours out in the Everglades, you know. He had this wild. Mustang or whatever it was from Wyoming or Montana. He had a Native American Seminole trying to break this horse so he could put it in the corral.
Starting point is 00:19:12 He couldn't put it in the stalls because if he did it would kick it and made all the other horses nuts. So he left it in the corral one night. And one night we were sitting again it was late, 1230, 1 o'clock because when Brothermore had just come home from his restaurant, he had an Italian restaurant and he used to bring
Starting point is 00:19:28 us like burnt pizzas at the end of the night. We would sit up and he burped and we heard a blasting coming from the horse rancher farm. And when we ran to the front of the house, we could see like a muzzle flesh of a 30-30 going off. Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb. So we jumped on our dirt bikes and rode over to the house to see where it was because, you know, it was still, you know,
Starting point is 00:19:51 maybe eight blocks away from us, even though it was, everything is flat, so everything was close. So we rode over there and we went over there and they told us what happened that the skunk ape had snuck up on the wild Mustang in the corral. And the horse must have kicked out or something and jumped the crown, ran into the pasture. Well, the following day, when we went over, the sheriff was there, everybody was there, and the whole neighborhood basically was there.
Starting point is 00:20:18 And the Native American, Seminole Indian went, and rode out to the pasture to get the horse. And when he brought it back, the horse had handprints in its hindquarters, not claw marks, handprints. Like if I was to grab you by your wrist and squeeze as hard as I could, leave that indentation. That's what this horse had on its hind quarters. And that's why, you know, the Seminole Indian thought that the horse may have kicked out when he got grabbed. And that's what he jumped to corral and ran into the pasture.
Starting point is 00:20:48 And like I said, my friend's father, he heard all the commotion. He came out blasted. And so there was a lot of action going on in our little development. We were surrounded by swamps. there was a one lane bridge in and out of the development it was it was you know pretty rural at the time that's incredible and man when you were 12 years old so wild to have experienced that at such a young age from you know you were able to see the creature a bit it sounds like something i ask people is when you when you see the creature in some way
Starting point is 00:21:28 Did you feel like you were looking more at something that was more human or maybe something that's more ape or something completely in the middle? Well, the very, very first time that I laid eyes on the creature, my cousin and I were just going to bed. And my sister had a big picture window in her son room. It was like eight by four. And we had the pull-out couch. We were going to bed. Again, it was the wee hours. The house was surrounded in three sides.
Starting point is 00:21:58 by a six-foot fence, but the front was opened with a circular driveway with a fountain in the middle. And there were sensor lights on all the corners. And we were laying in bed. And the very first time we went by, we smelled a horrible smell. And my sister had two large German Shepherd, K-9 Shepherds. And they went crazy and we had to put them in the garage. And then they told us it was the skunk ape. And we didn't believe her.
Starting point is 00:22:22 We thought they would, you know, bust on our chops until we talked to our friends in the neighborhood who told us, yeah, you know, when it's hot like this, it comes around. And then a couple of days later, a couple weeks later, it came with walking through our front yard. And the sensor lights went on. And as it was walking, we've seen this huge shadow go across the wall in front of us, you know? And so I got out of the bed and I did like a belly crawl to the window. And I pulled open the shade to see what was out there.
Starting point is 00:22:52 And I've seen what looked like King Kong to me standing in the Dragwai. It had red eyes. I don't know if it was from the sensor lights. You know, eye shine from the sensor lights, but it had red eyes. It had canines. And I guess it had seen its reflection in the big picture window. And it did this like incredible Hulk kind of flexing scream, like almost like he was challenging another skunk ape. And when it was screaming, I thought it had seen me peeking out of the corner.
Starting point is 00:23:28 corner of the window and it was screaming at me, you know, but hindsight being 20-20 was probably the reflection on the window it's seen. And when it walked along the side of the house, we had an empty lot by our side of our house that had wild watermelons in it. And as it was walking past the side of the house, my cousin and I ran into one of the bandrooms in between the kids' rooms. We left the lights off and we were watching it because as it walked past that corner, the sense of the lights went on. And we were watching it. And, and And it was looking at us, like it could see us in the dark. The windows were tinted.
Starting point is 00:24:03 The screens were black. We left the light off in the pants room. And it never took its eyes off. It was like it was watching us. And at one point, it stopped, reached down, grabbed the wild water mill, took a giant bite. There was left nothing but two nubs, dropped the nubs, walked to the back of the house. We ran to the back of the house because the my sister had a screened in patio. We went into the screened in patio.
Starting point is 00:24:28 We left the lights off. As it walked past the back of the house, the sets of lights went on again. Again, the whole time, it's half, that's top of its body tilted back looking at us. Behind our house, there was a man who had a manmade lake. At that manmade lake, it squatted down, and it cupped his hand, and it drank the water out of the lake. And then it got up and it walked into the swamp where we used to go horseback ride and ride our dirt bikes and have bonfires and stuff like that. then it just started screaming once they got into the swamp, you know? And, but like I said, that first time I seen it, I was behind that plate of glass that was like
Starting point is 00:25:08 an eighth of an inch thick or whatever how thick it was. And it was a baby, God, I would say no more than 25, 30 feet away from me. And it looked like, it looked like, to me, it looked like King Kong. It was huge. And the way I got its height was because, It was head and shoulders above that fence. And I know that fence was six feet tall to keep the dogs in. So it had to be between, you know, nine and eight, nine feet tall.
Starting point is 00:25:37 I would say close to the nine feet tall. And I use a rough estimate, 100 pounds per foot. So at nine feet tall, it had to be a minimum of 900 pounds, maybe probably closer to 15. I don't know. But it left 18-inch tracks along the side of the house in the sand. And we were going to, my brother-in-law said he was going to come home from work and at lunchtime and he was going to cast him and he was going to put one on the bar
Starting point is 00:26:02 in the house and one at the bar at the restaurant you know but the restaurant got busy he never came home the horse tours went by and they always rode right by our house along that empty lot and they destroyed the track so we never did get a chance to cast them but i seen him up close and personal and like i said when you see these creatures up close and personal your brain cannot comprehend what your eyes are saying and they just can't. That's absolutely incredible. After that point, was it, you know, all bets are off? Or was there a time in your life where you're like, you know, this Bigfoot thing is cool?
Starting point is 00:26:44 I'm going to get away from it for a little bit. Or were you like, I got to figure out what's going on from here on out and you're a game on? No, after we got back from Florida that summer, because that was like, my, my cousin My cousin Anthony, my cousin Anthony was closer to me like my brother. He was 15. I was 12. And that was our summer vacation. They always sent, that was our summer camp.
Starting point is 00:27:06 It would send us down there. My brother-in-law being an ex-marine guy, he always had chores for us to do in the morning. Because in the afternoon, it would get too hot. Then we'd just go swimming in the pool or the man-made lake or ride our dirt bikes or whatever. But, you know, when I came back from Florida that year, I had like PTSD for like three years. You know, I couldn't sleep in my room at night. I would sleep as far. My father was a carpenter.
Starting point is 00:27:34 And what he did was he turned a front porch into a bedroom. So the bedroom was maybe 10 feet long and six feet wide. And the only window he had in his carpenter shop was like a front window for like, you know, a house. He had a big picture window in the front with two little windows on the side. So I always used to think that that thing was going to reach. in because its arms were so long, you know? And I used to think it was going to come to New York, reaching that glass window and pull me out and take me away. And for three years, it was a rough three years at night, you know. Then, you know, that passed. And then, you know, I got into
Starting point is 00:28:17 girls and cars and stuff like that, motorcycles. And I kind of forgot about it for a long time. And then I started hanging out with a bunch of guys at work when I started working at the post office. And we started going out doing paranormal investigations, you know? And one thing led to another. And, you know, we always believed the guys I put together after my brother said to me at one point, you know, it's great that you go out with your friends in the post office and do this, but you should put a real team together. And I was a member of a group called the New York's, the Roundtable, the UFO Roundtable in Yonkers. And so I got all the guys from the Roundtable that were interested in it.
Starting point is 00:29:04 And I put a team together and called it the Bronxville paranormal society because originally everybody that was on the team either worked with me at the post office in Bronxville or lived in Bronxville. So that was our name. But then we, but we all believed that everything was. You know, we believe that it was all connected, ghosts, UFOs, Bigfoot's, all of that stuff. We all had the same mindset. And that's how that led us out, going out and finding, you know, these locations here in New York that are squatchy and then researching those locations and having activity. And, you know, I got five different locations.
Starting point is 00:29:45 I work in three different counties. And I got one site called the sacred site that's never. failed me. Whenever I've gone there, I've always had experiences. And stuff is really, really getting crazy now because I started getting telepathic communications with them now. I had an ascension two years ago. And I guess it raised my vibration and frequency. And so I'm having these telepathic, but it's not just me having the telepathic communication. It's Chris Reinhartner. in Connecticut from Discover Sasquatch. And it's my psychic down in Arkansas.
Starting point is 00:30:28 We're all seeing the same Sasquatch. We're all interacting with the same Sasquatch in three different states, you know, hundreds of miles apart. And it's just getting crazy now. Can you describe the Sasquatch that you're all seeing in your, when you see that? Yeah, he actually came to me. When he came to me in a dream state, he told me his name was Alarek, capital A-L-I-Dash-R-E-K.
Starting point is 00:31:03 And he was a shaman. He was a king shaman. That's what he told me. And he was a healer. And he was the eldest statesman of my clan that I'm dealing with at the sacred site. And he showed himself to me two or three years earlier. I had seen a white satch on a parkway, but I was told I wasn't ready at that time
Starting point is 00:31:25 when we locked eyes, you know, and he's massive, just absolutely 10, 12 feet tall, 2,000 pounds. He's a beast. He demands respect. When I was in his presence, I felt like I was in the presence of royalty, my psychic in Arkansas,
Starting point is 00:31:49 I've been using forever and she's never been blocked by anything. He's gone to her and told her that she's not going to be able to foresee anything at the sacred site when we go to do our investigations because it's just for me and Chris. And Chris was actually in deep meditation one day and he's seen a white Sasquatch looking at him through the woods and it shook him. and it knocked him out of his meditation. When I asked him what shook him, he wasn't being truthful to me. He said, he goes, oh, it's just good.
Starting point is 00:32:27 It was white, but I had a feeling he wasn't telling me everything, you know. And when I talked to my psychic in Arkansas, who does not know Chris from, doesn't even know who Chris exists, she needed to cite, the Sasquatch told her that she needed to start mentoring Chris psychically. So now she's mentoring Chris to develop his psychos. Chris was just like a flesh and blood guy. He didn't do anything paranormal-wise.
Starting point is 00:32:58 But he had an experience down in the green swamp, and he brought something dark home with him. And I had to call some people I knew on the paranormal side to cleanse his house and seal it, you know? So this Sasquatch told her she needed to start mentioning, mentoring Chris. And when she called me up and she's like, who's Chris Reinhart?
Starting point is 00:33:17 And I'm, why am I supposed to mentor them? I'm like, how do you know Chris, you know? And she said, this giant white Sasquatch came to me and told me that he was a, you know, a king shaman and yada, yada, yada, and he'd start making.

They can tell you about flood zones, mixed use zones, and decode acronyms like HOA, APR, MLS. They connect you to lawyers, contractors, even Phil, the Seward scope guy.
Starting point is 00:35:30 They negotiate, coordinate, advocate for you, close the deal with you, and hand the keys to you. They bring you home. Realtors are members of the National Association of Realtors. Right by you. And I was like, okay. And he told her that, you know, don't try to foresee what's going to happen at the sacred site because he's going to block her and she won't be able to see. And we did go out recently and she was blocked.
Starting point is 00:36:03 She couldn't see anything. You know, she's like, he's got me blocked. I can't see nothing. You know, because she usually will look in at the situation and do like a remote view kind of thing, you know, and see what's going to happen maybe ahead of time. But she couldn't see anything. It was very crazy.
Starting point is 00:36:21 It's just absolutely crazy. And then I had another experience with a difference asked, which a female who told me her name was hyionette, capital H-Y-N, H-Y-H-Y-H-Y-H-Y-H-Y capital N-E-T-A-A-T-A, capital N-T-A. H. Hyanneth. H-Y-A. H-Y-A-H-Y-A-H-A-N-E-T-H-A-K-K capital H-Y-A-A-D-H-H-N-E-H. And she told me that she was excited that I was going back to the sacred site after two years because I was researching at other locations. And she was excited and her clan was excited because she's the alpha male. To meet Chris Reinhardt because they heard wonderful things about them. And I was like freaking out. I was like,
Starting point is 00:37:13 What is this real? Like, is this dream real? And I called not only my psychic, but other people I know who are connected to these creatures are people, I should call them psychically. And they both of them, everyone has told me yet, this is really happening. This is really going on.
Starting point is 00:37:31 And, you know, you guys are going to have some amazing experiences when you go out. Because Chris is coming down here. I'm going up to his location in the Berkshire Mountains. That's what he researches. And apparently this Allurek is going to come down and introduce himself to us and tell us what we're supposed to be doing or what he wants us to do. And it's just absolutely insane.
Starting point is 00:38:01 Like when my psychic told me that she had the same vision to Chris, and then I asked her, I said, was there anything strange about him? And she said, the only really strange thing about him is that he's got these fireball red eyes. She goes, but don't be scared because he's not scary. It's just who he is. And the one I seen on the parkway had the same fireball red eyes. So then when I spoke to Chris one day and I said, what was it about that thing that freaked
Starting point is 00:38:30 you out? What was like, you know, was there something strange about him? And he goes, no. And he goes, was there something strange about the one you seen? And I said, yes, the one I seen had these fireball red eyes. And then Chris was like, okay, I got to come clean. Yeah, the one I've seen had fireball red eyes. That's what knocked me out of my meditation.
Starting point is 00:38:50 So we're all seeing the same guy. You know what I mean? And it's just, it's just crazy that like his saskwatches are communicating what my Sasquatch is telling him because he's had psychic, even though he doesn't believe in the psychic ability. Like he doesn't, not that he doesn't believe it, he questions all of his experiences. you know, because he's always been a flesh and blood kind of guy. And I told him, I said, Chris, the longer you do this, the stranger it's going to get, and you're not going to be that flesh and blood guy for long because things are going to get weird.
Starting point is 00:39:26 And things have really gotten it. He started having telepathic communications way before I did, you know. And apparently Alarek is connected to me, him and my psychic in Arkansas. So it's absolutely insane what's going on up here. That is extremely intense and just a huge group of synchronicities for sure between, you know, Alarek and Hyanneth. And that's wild. And I wanted to ask you, you know, about the New York State Sasquatch organization. I'm sure most listeners are aware how large a state New York is.
Starting point is 00:40:04 I was just curious, how are you, you know, narrowing down what area to go to for your research areas. Is there a, you know, certain location that you try to focus on or anything like that? Well, I'm at the southern tier of the Catskill Mountain Range and the Catskill Mountain Range by itself is like 500,000 acres. Okay. And then you have the Adirondacks about three hours, two and a half hours north of me, which are like six million acres. But what the way I do it is. is I get pulled. I get pulled to locations. Like something will say, you got to go here, you got to go here.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Like, I'm just being pulled there. And then when I go there, and I really don't know what I'm looking for, but I'm looking, you know, and then I start to see all kinds of signs, arches and X and bends and brakes and twist,
Starting point is 00:41:04 and little rock carrings that they make, you know, those carrings that they build. I start seeing signs. Once I start seeing signs and I know I'm in a good location, then I'll go back and I'll start doing what we do. We have a couple of different things we do to try to make contact with them or to bring them in, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:41:30 So we play with Tibetan singham bowls frequencies. You know, we try to bring them in that way. Native American drum music or flute music will bring them in. I like to go whenever I go out to do an investigation, I always go day night and I always go old school, new school. So, you know, I know a lot of guys just are all high-tech stuff. Sometimes those high-tech stuff, the batteries die, they don't work, and you need that old-school stuff to really bring everything together, you know.
Starting point is 00:42:07 And so I go out day night. I know a lot of investigators or researchers that only go out during the day. And I tell them you're only getting about 10% of the activity you could be getting because these fast-bush people are nocturnal. They hunt at night. They move at night. And you get so much more. But I understand it's scary to be four miles in the woods, deep in the woods, not being
Starting point is 00:42:37 able to run out if you had to because you're off trail and, you know, they fit people afraid. They're just afraid to be out there and being vulnerable like that. But I don't go out with any subconscious fear in my head. And my psychic reads everybody who comes out with me. And if there's anybody on the group that's coming out with me and they have subconscious fear, they stay behind. They're not allowed to come. And so I never go out.
Starting point is 00:43:05 I'm never afraid when I go. when I go out, I'm always looking for, not that I know what to expect. I mean, look, even if my psychic tells you what I'm going to expect, sometimes the stuff she says is so off the charts, you know, I got to laugh at her, and she's the real deal, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:43:23 Being from New York, I didn't believe in psychics for years until I met this woman. She's Native American. She's fifth generation. She's, I tested her. She caught me every time I tested her. She's done stuff.
Starting point is 00:43:35 Absolutely. close my mind. Chris is dealing with her now. And Chris calls me every day. Like, you're not going to believe what Cindy said now. I can't believe it. How does she notice? And I say she just does, man.
Starting point is 00:43:46 I told you. She just does, you know? And so I don't bring anybody out with me who has any subconscious fear because I don't want anything. And I tell people all the time, especially squatchers, guys who go in the woods, protect yourself not only physically, but spiritually, because there is so. much stuff in the woods that you don't know what you're going to run across.
Starting point is 00:44:12 So you have to protect yourself spiritually. That was the problem with Chris when he went to the green swamp in Florida. He protected himself physically, but he wasn't thinking, you know, paranormal wise spiritually. And he something dark attached to him and he brought it home to Connecticut, you know.
Starting point is 00:44:30 And thank God I had friends who lived not too far from him who were able to take care of it. you know, but you have to protect yourself spiritually. Now, listen, Halloween is coming. They're going to have all those haunted attractions and cemetery tours. Protect yourself before you go into those attractions. Those attractions are attracting dark energy.
Starting point is 00:44:56 I can't tell you how many people I know that have done a cemetery tour and had something come back dark attached to them. Protect yourself. spiritually before you go on those tours, before you go in those haunted houses, before you go in those hay rides, protect yourself spiritually. And if you're going out, squatching, protect yourself
Starting point is 00:45:17 spiritually and physically, I don't allow anybody to carry firearms when I go out. Sure. Because I don't trust anybody with a gun, but me. And if I'm not carrying one, you're not carrying one. But we do go out with 18-inch machetes and 10-inch survival knives and pepper spray and stuff like that, you know. I've never
Starting point is 00:45:37 I've been bluff charged but not by a Sasquatch by a dog man but that's a different story but I've never had anything bad happened to me at any of my locations and I've been going to the sacred site forever and I've never had anything
Starting point is 00:45:53 bad happened to me there you know so I'm very confident when I'm at my locations and I'm dealing with my group of my clan that I'm okay. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:46:08 I don't have to worry about anything messing with me at that point. That is, you know, absolutely true. You know, when you get involved with certain things, you want to be aware of what you are getting into and how it can affect you, but also your home, your family, and you have to be very careful about how you position yourself with certain things.
Starting point is 00:46:35 It had a weird question come into my mind. And it may not hit or anything. But have you ever gone to look at, do you know Catskill Game Farm? Absolutely. Been there a million times. Anything weird going on? I know it's an abandoned property now, right?
Starting point is 00:46:56 Yeah, but they've redone it up. They've fixed it up to be like an Airbnb. Oh, okay. Yeah. So, I will tell you, experience we had at the Catsville Game Farm when my children were young. We took them up there. We were up at the
Starting point is 00:47:10 Catsfield's. There's a water park up there we used to go to and the game farm wasn't far from the water park. We were walking into the park one day and the Lions Cage or the lines facility was God it had to be
Starting point is 00:47:26 a quarter mile away and it was down in like a ditch like a gully right and there was one line that was just going off. You, the growls and what this lion was doing, every other animal in the game farm was losing its mind. They were freaking out.
Starting point is 00:47:52 It was so scary that as we were walking towards it, because I mean, I want to see the lion doing this, right? I'm all excited like, oh, my God, this is crazy, you know? it's so deep and it's so powerful and we're so far away but yet you can feel its energy like go through you, you know? And this thing is down in a gully
Starting point is 00:48:13 like 50 feet below us and it's coming up and going out. We got about 100 yards away from 50 yards away and my wife and kids refused to go any further, you know? But I went right down to it to see and this lion and I'm thinking and here's this lion that's maybe, you know, 500 pounds doing this. And it's got every animal in the game form going nuts.
Starting point is 00:48:40 And the infrasound that was going through me, vibrating my body, was terrifying. Just terrifying. And I knew what it was. And I could see it doing it. And it was still, you know, I was well protected. There's no way he could have jumped up out of that ditch to get me. So you can't imagine when a Sasquatch goes off in the middle of the woods and you're there to feel it. I can't emphasize enough the power they have that goes right through you.
Starting point is 00:49:15 It's like getting hit with a shockwave from a bomb. You know what I mean? It's unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. But I haven't heard anything like haunted at the Casfield game farm. I never heard anything like that. There are other locations up there, like some old abandoned Wild West villages
Starting point is 00:49:35 that were like back in the 60s and stuff, 70s were like Wild West attractions that I heard are abandoned, but I haven't heard anything about the game farm itself. That's such an interesting story with that lion. Just that very cool anecdotal story. Here at Bigfoot Society, our goal is to be.
