Society you've got the privilege of talking to Jay today Jay's a listener of the show we got connected he reached out through email he's an outdoorsman from the southeast but he's got a few stories and accounts to share today from both sides of the U.S. So welcome to the show, Jay. How are you doing, sir? I'm good. Thanks for having me. Absolutely.

We were just having a time starting this interview. I'm going to mention that just in case. I was hitting the record button and it wouldn't work. So it's probably, I just need a new recording board, but you never know. So, Jay, let's go ahead

and I want to make sure you have the time to share what you've got going on. We'll chat about it and all that good stuff. So, you know, feel free to take us back when things started happening for you and any background info that we might need to know. Okay, yeah. So I guess I'll start off kind of with the background of it. So there's a basis for everything. I grew up in northeast Alabama, small area, White Sparrow, Town of Sardis.

My grandfather bought some property there. I think it's like 47, 48 acres. is approximately what he bought. He bought it after he returned from Vietnam, actually. He was a Vietnam vet, bought the property. And that's where he married my grandmother. They started a family. They had my father, a couple aunts, two aunts, and an uncle.

Some of the things that I guess I'll bring up is some things that have happened through my aunts and uncle's life as well. But, yeah, that's kind of the backstory on the property. So in this area of Alabama, it's real big for like chicken houses, long, long chicken houses, not as wide, but really long is typically what you'll see there. And these chicken houses can house anywhere 200 to 500 chickens at a time. We had two chicken houses growing up. We had probably about eight, maybe nine horses, some cattle and some goats. and then we had a garden, natural blackberry, musketon vines, blackberry bushes.

The property itself, I'd say maybe eight or nine acres of it is cleared land where the chicken houses set, the horse stables, the house, and then the garden, and then the remainder of the property is wooded. The first time I ever really felt anything strange. It was the summer. I was nine or ten during the summer. We would help my grandfather take care of the chicken houses, me and my brother would. And part of that is, you know, going in and inspecting them and clearing deceased chickens out, things like that.

So routine, once every week we'd go, we rode the four-wheeler up to the chicken house. And I immediately noticed, and I pointed out to my brother, hey, look at the back of the chicken house. It was kind of far away because the chicken houses. is a hundred feet at least. But you could see the paneling at the backside of the chicken house was like flapping off in the wind and like hanging off the side. So we drove the four-wheeler down there and looked. And yeah, I mean, it was ripped off the side of the chicken house.

So we turn around, go back, get my grandpa, tell him, hey, come out here and fix this. It's ripped open. So we go out there, back out there with my grandfather. Me and my brother, he says, go in there, you know, clear the chickens out, inspect it, see if anything else is messed up. And I remember, too, I'll never forget when he went up to this hole. I mean, my grandfather, he was a tall man. He was probably 6'4, 6'5.

And this paneling was the bottom of where it was ripped open was at his forehead level. So, I mean, it was ripped open pretty high up. And, you know, he started nailing it back up. And I just thought it was pretty odd because when he did the inventory several weeks later, I remember at the dinner table, him telling my grandmother that they were missing like 40 chickens out of the batch. Now, some of those, you know, happens with the deceased chickens, but you try to keep count of those. You know what I mean? So it was just odd to me, and the way, like his body language, he was when he saw that it was ripped open, he started nailing it back up.

And he just was like, on edge, you could tell I could feel the vibe that he was giving off. and come to find out talking to my dad that that type of thing happened pretty often around that farm ripped open animal pins and stuff like that but this is the only instance of that that i firsthand had an encounter with as far as i didn't notice any tracks or blood i mean i was i was nine i just thought maybe the wind blew it off but my grandfather he seemed to kind of act like something was strange. And then I too specifically remember about this event. We were instructed by him to avoid that chicken house for a week or two.

And I didn't understand it. And it made me and my brother mad because then there was that many more chickens that we had to clear out. But that was the first instance of my childhood where something just strange and had occurred that I couldn't really explain. like yes it was this or it was that especially i mean this was thick tin metal and my grandfather used long screws i mean it was screwed in there and for it to be ripped off like that in my opinion and my my thought process looking back something tall had to have ripped that back and then for us to be 40 45 40 chicken short it just it didn't add up you know and then uh i guess the second

And I would say that that was a big foot. We were missing chickens. And then with the other stories that I've heard from my grandfather and my firsthand experiences that I've had on this farm, I think something tall came and ripped that chicken house open and took handfuls of chickens out of there. And then I guess, yeah. So I guess I'll move on to the second occurrence.

This maybe happened a week. week and a half after the, me and my brother found the hole in the chicken houses. Every few days, we would let our horses out to pasture because we had, we had that 8, 10 acre clearing and it was fenced in, and then the outer perimeter of our property was also fenced with barbed wire fence line.

So we would let them out of the stables. They had like maybe, you know, a little pin outside the stables, but they couldn't get out, stretch their legs running around. So we let them out to pasture. and at the far corner of the property where the opening, the clearing, the land was cleared, it was kind of like down a hill a little bit. So if you're standing on the front porch of the house, you can't see the corner fence

post of the property over there. You could see all the way over there, but you just couldn't see the corner fence post. And so like I was saying, we let our horses out, you know, let them out to pasture grays and we would try to like bring them out and they bring them back towards the house put them in the pen around their stables and the evenings and i remember it was getting dark that night we were rounding up the horses it was getting dark and we were one horse short and we looked we looked we checked we rode all the fence lines could not find the horse um so we kind of just well we hope she's okay we'll see her in the morning and we even looked the next day we couldn't find her

And then I'll remember, I remember a few days, a few days later, probably three or four days later, my brother, he was fishing, he came back to the house. And I mean, he was screaming, yelling, crying for my grandpa saying that he'd found that horse. Her name was Kocus. So my grandfather, he grabbed my brother up, grabbed me up. We rode out there. And it was odd. So we had to go through a gate. It was in the woods, but there was like sweet grass kind of on the floor.

on the floor of the woods. And there was a clearing in this particular part of our property maybe 13, 14 feet round like circle where there was no trees. And it was natural. You know, it'd be

a tree here or there. It wasn't manmade or anything. But when we get there, it was the oddest thing. It was like the grass that was growing on the forest floor. The rest of it all around this area was like sticking straight, it was growing straight up healthy, but this grass was like matted down flat in this, in this opening, like almost like someone had taken a scythe or something and cut it, cut it back and flattened it out. And off in the corner of this little circle, kind of, if you think about like the two o'clock position of what would be a clock, at the edge of the circle was, was this horse cocus. And we kind of started walking up to her. We got about 10 feet. And my grandfather made me and my brother. stop because he could tell them we could already tell from that distance it wasn't good

she was dead her neck was like twisted and um she um sorry i was getting a phone call her neck was twisted and her stomach was i don't know if it's okay to get graphic but her stomach was kind of ripped open it almost looked like the horse was ripped almost in half and then And she had a large, large piece of meat missing from her left rear leg, like the hind quarter. My grandfather, I'll never forget. He was looking around, looking around immediately, and he froze, immediately told us, go, get back to the four-wheeler. We'll come back later and do this. Me and my brother were scared because just the tone of his voice and the way he was acting.

And I'll never forget, too. He said, go. You know, when we turned around, we were going back. He was maybe a few feet behind us. And by the time we had gotten to the four-wheeler, he was scooping my brother up, me and my brother, and putting us on the four-wieler to take us back home. And I'll never forget.

Strong, man, Vietnam vet. He's told us some story, you know, he's seen war, and he was shaking, like a leaf on a tree, man. His hands were trembling, shaking. I don't know what he saw. My dad doesn't know. My uncle doesn't know what he. He saw that day.

I just know they went back. I was visiting a friend's house, but they went back a few days later and got the horse out of there once my uncle got back to town. He didn't want to go out there alone. My grandfather waited for my dad and my uncle to both be in town before they went and buried that horse. I just think back about the event, and I've asked my brother and talk to him about it. And, yeah, it's kind of a lot of event is what he'll say. I'll just, I just never forget looking at my grandfather scanning the wood line. Like he would do when we were hunting, anything we would do, he would always be looking around in the woods.

And he was scanning left to right and it was like he stopped. Like he saw something and then immediately said, let's go, get out of here now and turn around and grabbed us. And that's about that part of the story as far as my firsthand experience with a dead farm animal. Man, he, like I said, strong, strong war veteran and whatever he saw out there that day, it shook him to his core. He was shaken. His hands were trembling when we had gotten back. As far what you told me, I mean, it is, that is wild. Taking into account the area where this is, because I mean, if you look on a map, it's like between Talladega National Forest and Bankhead National Forest, which are both.

crazy big foot spots in Alabama. And then also, I mean, I know, I think I say this wrong, but is it Guntersville or is it said differently? Oh, yeah, that's right. Okay. There's, I mean, Guntersville is not too far away from this area, right? No, maybe about 30, 45 minute drive. Okay, yeah. So, I mean, there's been plenty of sightings around that lake up there as well, which is just extremely.

interesting. I mean, you've got stuff happening all over the place, but the thing that really sticks out in that account is that had a twisted neck. And that is something that keeps on showing up. I mean, grizzly bears with broken necks in Montana, foxes that have been twisted, twisted out, like rung out, and then you've got, you know, this, like a horse with a twisted neck. What does that? You know, And I've heard some of the past shows, you know, I've heard like descriptions of like a like a like a ringed out towel, you know, it wasn't like that. It wasn't like if you picture like a wet dish towel and you ring it out and it's twisted like that. It was just it was like her head where it should be, have been facing forward was facing backwards.

You know, like something or someone had broken that animal's neck. It wasn't necessarily rung round, uh, rung tightly. You know what I mean? I don't know if that's kind of what you were picturing. Yeah, no, that that makes perfect sense. And what was the year and the time of year again that this happened in? So this was the summer. I was nine or ten.

So it had to have been, let me do the math, 2008, 2009. Okay. So I remember specifically, too, it was summer. We were on summer vacation. Me and my brother were out of school. and we spent, we didn't live far, we lived three or four miles from my grandparents' house with my mom and dad, but we always were on the farm, you know.

And have there been other things that have happened on the farm as well, in addition to you guys finding, like, the horse in the state and then the chicken house being broken into? Let's go, girls. You know what I love about, Addie? Everything. Well, yeah, but it's as little as 20 bucks a month. Ooh, well, well, the little is $20 a month.

They have the ethical expertise, market data, and tools to bring you home. So when looking for a home, look for the R and work with a member of the National Association of Realtors. They're right by you. Yeah, so I remember my dad told me this story, and this is a short one. He said in the early 90s, we had a farm dog, and they found him. He was in the woods.

He wasn't in the clearing of our property. He was in the woods, and my dad and my uncle found him. And they said it was the weirdest thing. It looked like he had been, he was completely flat. And it looked like he had been run over by like an asphalt roller or something. I mean, like you'd seen the cartoons, you know, and not a drop of blood anywhere. So they told me that story about the dog. And my dad and uncle both had told me and my brother about that occurrence.

And, I mean, that one was a simple, short little thing that they had told us. my father my he's he's the oldest my uncle don't remember this much it's my father my uncle and then my two aunts he said he said when they were my aunts were babies

and when they were kids they would always hear like tapping on the house they would hear like a tap at one end of the house and then he said it's half a second second later they'd hear a tap on the front door and then one at the other end of the house he said that this would go on and scare the baby, scare my dad's little brother.

Up until when he said that they, and my grandmother, she also said that this happened. But my grandmother and my dad are the only ones that remember this. My grandfather wasn't at the house at the time. It was early in the morning between midnight, two or three, and a log was thrown. Not a huge log. You know, maybe as long as an average person's shin, maybe he's big around, it was thrown through my dad and his brother's bedroom window and broke the glass. I mean, shattered it. And my dad told me he remembers before, he was awake. Before that, log came crashing, it was like

a pound on the side of the house, kind of about halfway down the house, not near their bedroom. Their bedrooms were on the very end of the house. So it was about halfway down the house. He heard a bang and then a few seconds on the side of the wall and then a few seconds later that log came through the window. The only other end of the house, the only other end of the house, he heard a bang. And then a few seconds later, he was a The only other instance, I'm trying to think, and I wrote some things down of the second hound encounter, so I didn't get details wrong. Oh, yeah, my grandmother. So my grandfather moved, like I said, in like mid-70s, right after Vietnam. He bought that property, met my grandmother, they got married.

My grandmother, she planted musketon vines. Some of them were natural, but she set up posts for them and things and transplanted some black berry bushes so they were closer to the house. And then they tilled a garden. That was one of the first things my grandfather did was till maybe half an acre garden. And my grandmother told me that before the property looked the way it did, the tree line, the way the property was set, the garden is between the stables and the house, but the stables weren't there yet nothing. And the tree line, it came up to the house about, or to the edge of where they tilled that garden, rather, maybe 50, 100 feet if she had to guess. It's been so long, and that woods cleared back now, so there's no way to get an accurate measurement of how far away.

She told me she would be out in the garden. There was a few instances. You know, I'd feel weird. I'd feel like almost like something was watching me, and she said she'd look up and she'd see dark figures in the woods looking at her. and she'd get scared and go inside. She had an instance where she was out in the garden, pulling weeds, and she said she would hear it would sound like something would be charging through the woods, coming towards her, and then it would stop.

She's like, the sound would stop right at the woodline, and I would never see anything. So she said this particular incident, she got scared and went inside. She started looking outside, looking at the tree line, and she said she saw a tall, seven, eight-foot hairy man standing there looking at her, standing next to a tree. I guess that's what you would call a bluff charge, I don't know. But she seems to think they liked her garden because, you know, we'd grow two, three rows of cornstalks, green beans, and there'd be times even in my childhood would go out there, help my grandmother pull weeds or whatever,

and a cornstalk or two would be missing, or a whole green bean bushel would be missing. And so she seems to think that they were trying to scare her off the food is what she would is what she, the way she put it. The only other, I'm trying to think if there was any other instances of secondhand accounts. Yeah, yeah. So I wrote this one down. My dad and brother had talked to me about this. My dad had told my brother and then my brother was talking to me about it. So my dad come and shared the encounter with me.

they were repairing fence lines. And my dad and uncle, they said it was odd too. They would fix a fence line and a week later the barbed wire would be snipped, like wide open. And we've talked to my granddad before he passed and my dad. At that time, the closest neighbor was like four or five miles away. And it would be at the back corner of the fence line. And right there, too, where the property is, there's a property. bluff maybe a mile half a mile from the end of the property line there's a bluff

it drops down we're kind of right there kind of on top of a mountain and then it drops down into the Gazden area they would be on the back edge of the property I mean there's nothing out there it's seven eight miles before you get to a highway you know there'd be sniffed wires and and snipped barbed wire but he said in particular this one instance they were stringing up barbed wire something snipped it, whatever, and it was really thick, wooded, brushy area. My dad and my grandfather were fixing the fence line, stretching the barbed wire back. My dad said he was maybe 17, 16, 17 at the time.

All he wanted to do was go hang out with his friends. I'll never forget. He told me that. He didn't want to be there. He wanted to go to town and hang out. But they were stringing up the fence line, and he said the line would bounce, like something down the fence line touched it. And they'd look left and look right down the fence line. They'd never see anything and then bounce again.

He said they'd keep looking and when they get back to work. He said the third time it bounced, my dad looked to the right. And about 60, 70 feet away, there was, he's seen a black hand shoot back into a bush. He said it looked like a hand. He saw two fingers and maybe what looked like a thumb. But he said it was dark. The hand was dark. It was daylight outside.

And he said, after he seen that, that he turned around and started looking left and right, like bobbing his head left and right to try and see if he could see around the bushes or the trees. And it ended. It never happened again. They finished stretching out the barbed wire and attaching it to the fence posts. But he specifically remembers something down the line was plucking the barbed wire, the top, middle, and the bottom row, just different ones.

And then when they would look, there'd be nothing there. And then that third or fourth time he looked, he saw. black hand reaching from the fence line back into a bush like it had just something had just plucked it. Other than that, I can't really think of any secondhand encounters. I mean, my grandfather, he passed in 2014 or 2015. And a little while before he passed, he kind of sat me and my brother down and with my aunt and my uncles. My aunt, my uncle and my dad sat us all down and kind of talked to us about he, He thinks that there's something on our property.

And he told us from the time he moved in there, be weird things happened, opened gates that he knew he closed, animals going crazy, the things my grandmother's seen. He said one time he was in the woods and he heard tree knocks around him. But as far as what that man has laid eyes on, there's no telling. but he knew there was something out there. My goodness. Extremely active property.

I mean, the fact that your grandmother saw what she said an eight foot tall hairy man, that is incredible. And you combine that with the rest of what you just shared. Wild, wild stuff.

Was that in the 90s as well when your grandmother had this sighting? If I had to guess, she don't remember the exact year. She said it was soon after they moved there. So probably early 80s. Okay. I had to guess. Gotcha.

Is this still in the family's possession? Yes, yes. My grandmother, she still lives there. Rest my grandfather's soul. It was in his will that if my grandmother goes on, it still stays in the family. family. And as far as my father, my uncle, and then me and my brother goes, it's not leaving our family's position. That's so great to hear. I love when family properties can continue to stay, you know, down generations like that. What would you say the last, the last experience or last out of the ordinary thing happened on this property was? What was the last thing that happened?

Really? I haven't heard of anything, which the way my grandfather was, he was very tight-lipped about things. My uncle moved away. My dad moved away. Me and my brother, we've moved away. The only people that still are around there are my aunts and my grandmother since 2014. My grandmother is very reluctant to even tell me what she told us, tell us what she told us, and my aunts, anytime the subject comes up, they all but leave the room. They don't like, talking about it. So if anything has happened, I probably wouldn't get it out of them. Oh, wow. You know, stuff has to, stuff is probably still happening. They're just not talking about it. That's incredible.

My grandfather, in that when he, before he passed, you know, we kind of had that little, that, I guess that powell you could say, he shared a lot of information with us about property. And he, and he told us, he, he said, he told us, he's, said there's something out there and he said he thinks one of them's mean he's what he told us and there would be times and you know what now that I'm sitting here thinking about it we'd be out hunting hunting turkey or deer and there were there were a few times on our property he would be looking around like I had talked about with the horse he always did that when we were out in the woods and we would just leave and I never connected the dots till right now when I've been sitting here talking to you but there'd be times he'd be looking around and it looked like he'd see something and we leave.

And I remember one instance, in particular, I was younger in this one, maybe six or seven, but we didn't end up leaving, but he kind of just put his gun away, like put it down. He was ready to shoot all morning, and then he put his gun down and we stayed there maybe another hour, then left. Near the end of... Yeah.

Oh, sorry. I was going to say, near the end of his life, was there... Did your grandfather ever mention, like, you know, please make sure you don't go by this part of the property, or is there ever a part where you felt like you guys really shouldn't go back to that area? No, not in particular. The main thing he told me and my brother, especially when we were younger growing up,

which, you know, snakes and stuff, we have water moccasins. In northeast Alabama, there's not really, you got some mountain lines and maybe some black bears come through, but nothing real per date. no predacious animals that you would fear. But he always told us, you know, always be looking around when you're in the woods. And if it don't feel right, get out of there. And then he specifically harped on me and my brother,

don't go in the woods alone. He said, you can go to the pond. You can go into any of the clear area, but do not pass the fence line into the woods unless you're with an adult or you and your brother are together. Which right, wrong. me and my brother we grew up we we didn't go in the woods without a shotgun you know we grew up we carried guns from a young age it's just the way that our that we grew up and and our life was

so I think and we were good shots I think that might have put his mind at ease a little bit about us being kids out there but that was the main rule is do not go out there alone and and he enforced it I'll never forget my brother went out there alone one day and he striped his tail right or wrong spanking your kids but that's how we were raised you know and he strut my brother and I learned my lesson never go out there alone because I didn't want that

that was the main rule don't go out there alone and um just always be looking he told us always be scanning looking around seeing if you see anything absolutely it sounds like your your grandfather is definitely a smart man very very very smart

ah man It'll be interesting in the future If anything else does come out Perhaps at family gatherings in the future, who knows Let's go, girls So this is the little pink pill everyone's been talking about Yep, that's Addy. Good things do come in small packages

So is this, is there anything else that you would need to share about? the family farm in Alabama then? Yeah. Actually, I was saving the best for last kind of. So it wasn't on the farm. Our closest neighbor, like I said, they were maybe at the time further. We had a woman, she had bought a property a little closer. She was maybe three miles down the road.

Nice woman. Her and my grandmother were good friends. They would always bake. They would do their sourdows together and share fruits and vegetables from their garden. This woman, she owned a few acres. I don't know exactly her property size. Just enough

for her. She was retired. And this was during my childhood the same summer. Maybe it was towards the end of the summer getting close to August, so like middle of July, end of July. We were getting ready to go back to school.

And my mom, my mother, my grandmother, and my aunts, would always go to this woman's property and they would walk around walk around her woods, pick pecans, mushrooms, just go foraging.

And the woman loved it. She was fine because she couldn't do that and she would rather her land be used to someone in the community than just sit there and waste away. So she would let us come on the property. And it was, this bluff that I mentioned earlier, I mean, it runs many miles. I couldn't even, I'd have to look at a map

to figure out how long this ridgeline. but she her property was also situated you know a mile away from this ridge line the the backside the end of her property away from the road we were kind of deep in her in her property another interesting thing this woman probably has some stories too because her property her house sat maybe 50 60 feet off the road but you couldn't see it unless you were in her driveway because of the how thick the woods around her house was they didn't they didn't clear away the the land where you could see the house from the main road you had to pull another driveway and then you could start seeing the house as you went up the driveway and that's how her whole property was just thick wooded area

she had cleared some trails for us to go foraging and stuff and herself when she was a little younger we were walking down a trail and we were near the backside of her property kind of close to where that I mean the bluff wasn't by any of it was still a mile away but kind of close to where that bluff was and we're walking down a trail I remember looking off

and the direction I was looking I was looking off to my left towards that bluff area like the backside of all the properties in this area that's where they end is at that bluff I was looking towards the bluff we're walking on a small trail wasn't very big

but it was a it was a cruise crude pathway too so like it wasn't cleared back away from the path very well there was bushes and trees you know within a foot or two from the edge of the path I was looking off to the left and I passed a tree the tree was you know it was fairly fairly wide maybe four feet wide so my vision was was obscured from what was beyond that tree for maybe a second or two and I'll never I'll never forget this it it shivers my soul to this day. I passed this tree and I'm looking out to the left and maybe if I had to guess I was young, but if I had to put a foot like a measurement on it, maybe 40 feet away, there was

another tree and it was pretty big, maybe five, six foot wide. I see a face poking out the side of this tree looking at me. From what I can remember to piece this face together, to piece this face together. The eyes were black. From everything I could see, if there was like an iris or something like a human has, it was dark colored, like dark brown. The eyes looked jet, solid black. I remember the first thing that entered my mind was like monkey like orangutan. And I don't know if it was the hair color because the hair was like red, like brown, but redish brown. And it kind of was kind of odd because it made it stand out more than anything. That's what I think I noticed first was like the red hue of it.

As far as like mouth structure, no structure, I couldn't really tell I was far, and it was hairy. I mean, it seemed like the hair if it did, it went all the way up to the lips and the nostrils. And then around the eyes, like that's all I could see was the eyes. And then I seen a shoulder on that same side of the tree, like part of what I think would be a shoulder. and then on the other side of the tree, I could see what part of what I think would be the opposite shoulder of whatever this was. I still don't know if this was a big foot.

I do know, though, in the Appalachian Mountains, I was in the foothills of Appalachian Mountains there. You see a monkey in the woods, it's probably Bigfoot, you know. I would agree with it. 100%. That is amazing. Can you make a... Let's say if you were to think of common household objects, is there one that's the same size as that head that you saw roughly?

If I had a guess, I don't know if you've ever seen them. They make like a gallon like sugar jars. Okay. And I mean, it was kind of, it was long. It was longer than it was wide. I couldn't see edge to edge the face, but it seemed like most of the face was hanging out from the side of the tree. looking at and it felt like it was looking right at me but uh yeah maybe like a sugar jar with the pop open lids maybe like a football football and a half long probably two footballs wide

probably if i had a guess okay gotcha and could you could you see a certain was there a certain shape to the head at all or or you couldn't see all of it right no i could see maybe 80% of it and it was most of what i seen was hair The hair at the top of the head, it kind of seemed rounded, but I mean, it was kind of far away. And then I only saw it for maybe a split second or two. I passed that tree, saw it maybe two or three seconds, and then I'd passed another tree. And by the time I got on the other side of that tree, the face was gone. Gotcha.

How high up? It was only maybe a few seconds. Okay. How high up? Yeah. six, seven feet. It wasn't as high up as something like where the paneling was ripped off, but it was taller than me as high up as my grandfather at least, as high up as if my grandfather is

tall, I should say. That's incredible. My goodness, I cannot believe that. Or I can't imagine experiencing that myself, I should say. Wow. And how did that affect you afterwards? Was it something that you kept to yourself, or did you tell everyone right away? No, I didn't tell everyone right away.

I didn't tell my mom until a couple of months later. And really, because I've heard you talk about this before, I've been listening to your show a few months, and that's kind of what got me wanting to maybe just get this off my chest. Maybe it'll help me come to peace with it. But I would have really bad nightmares for about a month after that event. I was young. I was a kid. I don't know if that's related, but the nightmares were of something coming and snatching me out of my bedroom window in the middle of the night.

And it was almost every night I would have this nightmare of something grabbing me out of my bedroom at night. Wow. And I specifically remember it was after this occurrence too because it was, this, these nightmares drew on until like my first and second month of school. And that's when I'd finally, she was like, what's going on? My mom said, what's going on with you, son? And you're having these nightmares. And then that's when I told her that. at what had happened.

And this is around 2008-ish. Yeah, same time frame as all the other events. All this, all my occurrences and firsthand experiences, all these things happened in one summer. And I grew up on that land. I've been on that land even after then. And never seen, heard smelled anything off. But this one summer, man, it was,

it was a crazy one for us out there. Absolutely, absolutely wild. What was your mom's reaction when you told her all this? She was kind of concerned, and then she talked to my dad about it, and that was the last I heard about it. She never brought it up again. She was kind of concerned, are you sure that's what you saw, and she was asking me questions about it?

And I remember I'll talk to your father about this when he gets home tonight, and they did. They talked about it, and that was the last I heard about it. She didn't seem concerned. She didn't seem worried. I don't know. I mean, the feeling I got was very, it wasn't like a dangerous feeling. You know, when I saw that, I didn't feel scared for my life.

I just felt scared because I didn't know what I was looking at, I think. Yeah. Another thing. Maybe she sensed that. Maybe she sensed I wasn't in danger and wasn't concerned with it. I'm not sure, but she never brought it up again. I'm kind of getting the same vibe that there's a talk with your dad, and he's like, hey, they're here. don't worry about it or something like that.

Who knows? But another thing that I thought of when you were sharing earlier is the similarity between the two animals that were found. So you've got the dog and the horse. Those are both animals that will make some kind of noise as an alert if there's something around, you know? So who knows what was up with that? And we were outside that whole day that the horses were out to pasture. I mean, we were outside all day. We were only inside for breakfast and then the nighttime.

And we never heard any commotion that day or the days after. We never heard anything, which property is rather large. I mean, 47 acres, if there's a horse on the complete other side of the property, you may not hear it, you know. Yeah, that's a big property. Absolutely. And I would guess there's got to be still stuff happening. just you haven't found out about it yet.

It'd be interesting in the future. But wow, what an account of stuff that's happening in one area, Jay. Thank you for sharing that. Yeah, no problem. I should add to there are, I'm sure there's stuff still going on in that area during my childhood. And I went back for Christmas this last year, 24 Christmas went back and was talking to some of the people I grew up with. There's Bigfoot hunting groups in that area,

and they'll get tree knocks back. They don't ever see anything typically, but, and if they do, it's probably not common knowledge, but I remember just last Christmas, I was talking to a guy, and I went to school with there, and he told me that his uncle

had got some tree knocks back, not far from that area, so I'm sure there's still things going on. Oh, wow. Okay. Well, that's cool. If they're listening, they should definitely reach out. that usually happens a lot with these shows is I'll put a show out and then the local research teams will reach out and tell me some interesting things so yeah I'd love to talk to you guys if you're listening out there whoever you are but um jay wild stuff now you said there's also some stuff going on in in Washington and your family passed is that right yeah yeah so um my father he um mechanic

for a lot of years, but then a lot of years he did both. He was an over-the-road trucker and a mechanic. So he would go an interesting side note. I've been to the lower 48, so minus Alaska and Hawaii. I've been to every state before I was 10 years old with my dad. We would go from Maine to Ohio, then from Ohio to Florida, then from Florida to wherever, Nevada, you know. So he was always everywhere.

Wow. He was in Washington State. He dropped off a load. He said it was like in a suburb south of Seattle. He wasn't exactly sure what the name of the town was. This was also give you a time. He said this was the summer of 2001, like summer, early fall of 2001, 2002. So kind of the same time frame, like maybe July to September, somewhere around there.

He dropped off a load south of Seattle. He had a, he drove empty. He had to go to Spokane and pick up a refrigerated trailer and take it back to Washington to load because that was the closest refrigerated trailer his company had at the time. So he went and picked it up. He said he was coming from Spokane back to Seattle. I don't know if you're okay with me saying the area that he thinks he was in. I mean, that's fine with me. Okay, yeah.

He was on the interstate. He said it was early in the morning. And he drove all day the night the day before. He said he was tired. It was like 2 or 3 a.m. And he pulled over. He said somewhere near the, and you may correct me, snow, qualmy pass.

Is that sound familiar or did I say it wrong? Oh, no, you're good. You got it. Okay. So he said he was around that area. He doesn't, he don't remember if it was before, because I think there's a town there is what he said. He don't remember if it was before or after.

It was somewhere right there, though. Two or three in the morning, he pulled off the side of the road on like a service road because he was, he said, I was falling asleep at the wheel. It was getting bad. So I pulled over. He closed his, he closed his, like, privacy screen that a lot of semisers, they'll have like a screen that pulls around the passenger driver windows and the windshield. So when you're parked, you have some privacy. He said, he pulled his screen around and just laid his head on a steering wheel. He didn't even get in a sleeper. He just wanted to get, he said, I wanted to get a couple hours so I could keep going. going and get this load, then I would sleep. He didn't know how long he had been dozing off. He said it was around 2 or 3.m. by the time he left out of there, it was around 3.30 or 4. It was still dark out.

So, I mean, within an hour of him being there, he said he was sitting there, dozed off. He woke up. He said at first he thought that he got hit. He thought somebody had hit his truck. So he woke him up. He had like a large big jolt and like a loud bang that woke him up. And he kind of sat up, startled. And he said he kind of looked around outside his driver window and didn't see any cars passing by or anything like that.

Let's go, girls. So you've been taking one of these little pink pills daily? Yeah. And you feel. Uh-huh. And more. More? Huh.

Learn more at treatpPD.com, sponsored by Sopernus and Biogen. He said, he got up, went to the passenger window, and kind of undid his privacy curtain, and was looking outside the passenger window, didn't see anything. And he looked out at passenger mirror, sat in the passenger seat and looked out the mirror to see what was down the length of the truck on the passenger side.

He had his trailer lights on and stuff, so no one would hit him, because they'd see him sitting there. He sat about halfway down his trailer. He's seeing the trailer lights were illuminating. He said, I don't know, I didn't see hair or anything. I just saw a tall, black, dark figure about half as tall as my semi-trailer was kind of standing there, and it looked like it had its, he said it looked like it had its arms pressed up against the trailer.

my dad said what the he said in his head what the heck is that and next thing he knows it the trailer jolts again and I mean he said I'm not sure but he said it felt like it picked it picked the side of the the semi trailer up a little bit just the when the trailer's attached if you twist if you were to try and turn that trailer over eventually it would take the truck with it or break some things in the process he said it felt like it picked the truck up and he looked he said what the heck, you know, looked back down the passenger mirror after the truck had stopped shaking. He said about the same height level as where he saw that black figure, he could still see it, but he saw two, like, beads, what he best he could describe, but he said, I think it was eyes.

He said they were red or like an orangeish hue. He said they, he seen them, and then it looked like they turned and looked directly at him. and he kind of scared him and then he said they started getting a little bigger like whatever was there was moving towards the cab of the truck within five seconds parking breaks off he said I was as fast as I could I was pulling out of there and he even told me thank goodness that I didn't have a load

because if that trailer was full and heavy I might not have got out of there as quick as I could have he was hauling butt went stopped somewhere to truck stop east of of Seattle and kind of went in there and getting coffee and stuff. He said this old guy ran into him and told him, hey, you look like a ghost. You saw a ghost, you know. And my dad told him what happened.

And that guy just kind of laughed at him and said, yeah, you don't go out there and stop that late at night. You know, and I don't know the area. I don't know how much activities in that area. but I'd in in summary you know he had a something big tall about half the height of his trailer shake it wake him up and then turn I don't know if it knew he was watching or whatever but turn and look directly at him and start coming towards the cab of this truck and he tore off out of there that is incredible my goodness that area is is extremely active that pass I mean you just look on the BFRO King County there's plenty of of reports over the years, some wild, wild stuff. My goodness.

And the weird thing is that he had nothing in that trailer, right? Yeah, no, it was empty. And, you know, he's growing up where he did and hearing stories and stuff throughout his life, I'm sure. I think his opinion is that whatever that creature was, knew that those trailers did carry meat and fresh food and stuff and maybe didn't realize that it was empty.

Absolutely. I would guess that your dad wasn't the first truck to pull over there, and so they would probably know that. But I agree with you on that. Now, a tractor trailer or a trailer like that is about, it was like 13, 14 feet tall, is that right? Um, yeah, some of them go up to 18, depends. But yeah, that's probably pretty close if I had a guess. Okay, so, I mean, you could be looking at anywhere for like seven to nine feet tall for what your dad saw. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, he said the eyes were probably halfway up the trailer. It was dark and stuff, but from what he can make out, yeah.

It was tall, whatever it was. My goodness. It'll be very interesting to hear if, uh, or to see if people in the comments have had experiences in this same area that your dad was. I believe I'm pretty sure, and I just talked to Jimmy Tungate on the show, and he had a citing, I want to say, he said I-90, which I think this is the same area. I might be totally off and let me know in the comments if I am, but I'm trying to get a actual, he's going to send me the actual coordinates later today.

So stay tuned on that. Maybe it's the same area. But my goodness, what an incredible family history you have of Bigfoot interactions, Washington to Alabama. That is some cool stuff, man. Yeah, there's more. We're kind of an oddball of Black Sheep family. But that's about all the Bigfoot stuff that I can think of. And with the chicken house and the horse and what I saw, my personal experiences, I don't know if that was Bigfoot, but every other context clue from my family's life and the surrounding area, that's all I can chalk it up to, you know?

Absolutely. You had said that you guys have also experienced other things besides Bigfoot related activity. Is that correct? Yeah, yeah. If you want to, if you want me to go into it, I've 100,000. comfortable doing that. I just didn't know for time and then if that was along the scope of where you wanted to go. Yeah, I mean, it's a thing where if it's part of a family's history, I think there's a connection. Did these other interactions start before the Bigfoot activity or have they been going on prior? So one of two of the instances was prior. One was after involving my father. and then one was after involving me. One was fairly recently within like the last five or six years, the one that is including me.

Gotcha. Two of them that are including me. Feel free to share. Yes, yes. Okay. So I didn't want to give a little backstory to this too. It's a real touchy subject when you start talking about paranormal and spiritual, spiritual things.

But my, my, granddad come back from Vietnam. He found the Lord, raised my father, my uncle and my aunt's Christian. I was raised Christian in a church. And I've heard this my whole life about my father. When he was when he was six months old, six, seven months old, he was at his grandparents' house, my great grandparents' house. I never met them. They were, they passed where I was born, but he was at their house, sleeping, staying in the night, as a baby, six, seven months old, and their house. And their house caught on fire. And they got out and they had left my dad in the house.

They couldn't get to him. The fire department ended up going in and getting my dad and he has. But at the time, he had third degree burns all over his body except for where his diaper was. And, I mean, you can tell like, and he grew up, picked on. They called him Freddy Kruger. You know, he had a rough life because of it. But my grandmother tells us all the time, like, yeah, your father, he's close with his spiritual side. And she swears up and down.

It's connected to that event because of how traumatic it was. And then the fact that she said he had died once during the surgery, they were trying to do the skin grafts. They took sections off of her and my grandfather to skin graft my father. And she said he died once when he was a baby and they were able to get him, bring him back. and she swears that this event is the reason that my father is so spiritually attuned. But yeah, we grew up in churches and my dad was a church leader, strong man of God, still is, a strong man of God. But I just wanted to kind of give that background as I feel like my bloodline is spiritually attuned to be more open and susceptible to supernatural things. I don't know if that makes sense.

That's my father's side. And then my mother, she's a strong practicing pagan. She's a very strong spiritual woman. So I come from a background of very strong spiritual people. My father, like I said, we were involved in a church, and he, you know, he started going there. And then he was called to preach, became a deacon and minister in the church. And this church was one of the only ones at the time in our area. the northeast Alabama area that I grew up in,

they would take exorcism cases. If they had someone that believed their house was possessed or a family member that was possessed, they would call on this church, and it was a big church in the area. A lot of people knew them to be able to do that. My father, he was moving up in the church. He became like a deacon, I guess you could say,

a shepherd of the church, the congregation. And he told me there's two instances. And here's another odd thing about my dad. Like the story in Washington, some of the stories, one of the stories I'm going to tell you, he documents everything. So when he pulled off and got to where he was going in Seattle, he wrote down on a piece of paper what happened. he has two written events.

He's never let me read them, but he's performed two exorcisms on people with the members of that church. And I've kind of hinted at it to the pastor of the church because I still know him well. And I can't get much out of him, but my dad has a locked folder where he keeps, he has who knows what in there.

But in specific, he's performed two exorcism and exorcisms on people and has the notes of them. The one he would tell me about, though, because I asked him, I said, is there anything you want to get off your chest and before I go on here? And he told me this event when I was younger, and I remember it. And then he told me this event about a month ago when I was preparing to come onto the show. And the event hasn't changed. I'm pretty sure even to the exact word.

he used is exactly the same. There was a woman and a man that went to our church. They approached the leaders of the church. They said, hey, my wife, she's having nightmares. And my dad said, they showed the leaders, his wife's legs. She had claw marks and bruises. She was getting beat up at night and having horrible nightmares about, like, hell, and just nasty, horrible things in her nightmares.

So my dad and the leaders of the church, they say, yeah, we'll go out. We'll bless the home. They didn't, they said they didn't really feel like it was attached to her. They felt like it was in the home. It was an old property, too. And they invited my dad. This was the first, I guess, exorcism of property event, you could say, that he took part of, they invited my dad because he was growing in power of God and becoming a strong man of God. and they wanted him there. I mean, the more swords, the better. So they ended up going to this house. He said it was in the evening. It wasn't necessarily nighttime.

But, like, later evening. And I'm trying to remember to the year. I don't think he disclosed when this was. But they got to the house. My dad said, as soon as they walked in the front door, he just felt this, like, impending sense of, like, doom. and like dread, you know. But he didn't think nothing of it.

They started blessing the house. They blessed all the windows, doorways, the living room, the kitchen. And the way the house was laid out, you go through the living room, into the kitchen. And then off to the side, there was, he said there was the bedroom door. And then, like, coming out into the kitchen, there was like, it was just a one-bedroom house, but the bathroom connected to the kitchen. And then you could go through the kitchen, through the bathroom. into the bedroom or you come, go into the bedroom straight through the living room.

There was two accesses. So they did the kitchen in the living room, and he said they went to, they went to go into the bedroom, and the door was like, he said they couldn't open the door. It was locked from the inside. So they go around to the bathroom, bless the bathroom, going to the bedroom. and my dad said that's when the feeling of dread and doom came back to him. And he said they were blessed in the room. And it was just weird.

Like he would have their eyes closed and he'd squint him a little praying and he'd squint him a little bit. And he said, I swear I'd see like shadows, like a shadow move. Let's go, girls. So you've been taking one of these little pink pills daily? Yeah. And you feel. Uh-huh. And more.

More? Huh, I didn't think we could feel like that again at our age. Oh, get ready, girl. Ooh, la, la. Meet Addy, the little pink pill.

Maybe it's something more like postpartum depression. Only a doctor can tell you the PPD is a real medical condition with treatment. PPD is not just an adjustment phase. Learn more at treatppd.com, sponsored by Supernus and Biogen. He said the windows would like real, real softly, faintly, like rattle and sound like they were cracking,

but the glass wasn't cracking. And he had that feeling like, I don't know if you've ever experienced anything, but you'll get like a feeling every hair on your body stands up, every single hair on your entire body will stand up. Yep, once. And he had, yeah, he had that feeling.

Like, he knew something was there. They kept praying until he said that feeling slowly faded. And eventually they felt like the room had been, and have been blessed. They left the house because there was a barn on the, my dad said, there was a barn on the property, a couple hundred feet away from the house. It was an old abandoned barn, but they wanted to bless all structures on the property.

And he said, as he has scared the crap out of us, they were walking to the barn. And maybe 30, 40 feet ahead of them, they could see like a tree shaking, like the branches shaking. and once they got close, I mean, it didn't almost hit them, but if they would have been a few seconds ahead of where they were walking, a tree branch would have fell and landed on all of them. I mean, they were maybe five, ten seconds of walking from being crushed by a huge tree branch, which connected or not, you know, there was no wind and there was no storms. That was the odd thing. My dad said. It was not storming. It was a clear night. It wasn't raining, no wind. All the other trees were called, but this one was shaken. He said they went and blessed the barn. But then they blessed the wife and the husband before they left. And that was the end of it.

She was never had another nightmare. She was never attacked in her sleep. It ended right then that night. Spiritual warfare is so real. I don't think a lot of people realize that. But I think more people are starting to. That's wild. My goodness.

it puts a whole different viewpoint on your dad's and the Bigfoot experience side of thing to know that there's this spiritual warfare side as well. Yeah. Yeah. I guess I know we're kind of getting close. I'll go ahead and tell my story. Okay. I was in college. I had a, I lived in the second floor of an apartment complex.

It was a two-bedroom apartment complex, and in each bedroom, we had two guys. There was two twin beds. We would share, so there's four guys total in the apartment. I had my roommate, and then the two others were completely across the apartment. And me and my roommate, we were laying there one night. We just finished her homework, kind of just watching TV, getting ready to go to sleep. and the way it worked was they were trying and the school helped find housing so when they helped find housing they were trying to put people that had day classes in the same room as people

and then not class people in the other two in the other room that way like the apartment was never too crowded or you weren't sleeping when your roommate was getting up to go to work and stuff they tried to balance it like that so the other two roommates were gone They were in class at the time. Me and my roommate were just laying there watching TV. Our bathroom door is kind of the same situation as the house I just described. You'll leave, you'll go through the bathroom, and then you can go out to the kitchen. It's like a walk-through, a double door in the bathroom.

The door to the kitchen was closed in our bathroom, but the door from our bedroom to the bathroom was open. I think my roommate had just taken a shower like 45 minutes earlier or something. the door was open the light was on and his towel was sitting on the sink on the counter by the sink and we were sitting like I said we're sitting there watching TV and he kind of said do you see that and I looked he could see the towel a little better from where his bed was but the towel was moving and I was kind of started getting like a feeling like a weird feeling and then the towel slid off of the counter and the door closed like slammed closed it scared him

I don't think he's ever had to deal with anything like that. So rightfully so, it's scared the crap out of him. But, I mean, I immediately got up, got him out of the house and called my dad. I knew something wasn't right. And this was an interesting thing for me because I'd never taken part of anything like this. I learned a lot about how it works, but he raised me and my brother. to be staunch in our faith and he offered for me to bless the apartment with him because he had to come and he needed another person to help him so so I helped him we blessed the apartment and

as far as anything happening nothing else happened um as far as like events while we were blessing it just a horrible feeling in my gut and like down my spine kind of what he described if I had to describe it like dread and doom and uh But we did it. We did the thing. I followed his lead. We prayed. Bless the apartment. And I never had another event. But I'll never forget to look on my roommate's face. He kind of like looked like he had seen a ghost, you know. And no one else home but me and that guy. And that towel he used to draw off had just slipped off and hit the floor.

And I watched it do it. And then the door that was open goes, wow, slam shut. and within five seconds I was getting him out of the house. He didn't understand what was going on until after I kind of told him. And that's one thing too. If you think you're dealing with a like a demonic entity or something, people who are not staunch in their faith do not need to be around those entities at all. They're very susceptible to being persuaded. And even that's how even some possessions come about.

That's absolutely right. So knowing the history of your family on this side now, did anyone ever try to use the name of Jesus to affect the Bigfoot that were on the property? You know, if my grandfather ever did, I have no idea. If my father ever did, I wouldn't know. My grandfather was very, very tight-lipped. I'm sure he's turning over in his grave. just hearing me talk about this, you know, because I think he wants, I think he wanted whatever was on our property. He didn't want to, he didn't want to hurt it, you know, and his, his mindset, and from my, from my opinion, looking at the way he handled situations, he probably thought of it as better, better him where he can handle it than someone that's going to go out and shoot the thing or something. Yeah, that makes, that makes sense. Oh, wow, just when you put the whole thing together,

is a fascinating story. Crazy life. You're my crazy life. And it's not, I mean, 2008, it's not that, well, that's almost 20 years, I guess, now. But it doesn't feel like it's that far away. But that's wild. Yeah. That is some wild, wild stuff.

But Jay, I want to say thank you so much for spending some time today sharing what you and your family have experienced over the years. I do appreciate it. I want to make sure that you were able to share everything you came to the show to share today. There was one instance, too, my father. He saw some strange lights in the sky. My father drove a truck. For a while, and this is kind of where what brought me out to this area, but New Mexico, southeast New Mexico and West Texas is a big oil-filled area. I don't know if you're familiar with the area. And it's a lot of desert. There's like rolling hills, but, generally it's flatland.

It's flat land with rolling hills. He was hauling water for the, for an oil, for a, for, they have like wastewater that it's a byproduct of pumping oil out of the ground. So he's hauling oil away from a rig to a disposal site. He said it was 2013. He don't remember the time of year,

but he remembers it was 2013. Oh, no, yeah. This, I got it wrote down here. So he said it was in February of 2013, specifically. He was in the middle of desert, really, there's a road. It's people around here, if they hear it, they'll know, Battleax Road, between County Road 2, it's a Texas County Road, and Jow, New Mexico.

He was on Battleax Road, hauling water. And out there, the way the land is, you'll be going a mile or two, and then the land will raise a couple hundred feet, and it'll flatten back out for a mile or two. and then it may drop or it'll fluctuate. It's rolling hills, but relatively flat. So he was out there. It was midnight, 1 a.m. he said he could see a car,

like a car, a pickup truck, a couple miles ahead up the road, and it'd go up on a hill and he'd lose sight of it until he got up on that hill. Or vice versa, it'd drop off, and until he got close to where the hill dropped off, then he could see the car way up ahead. he told me he was driving trying not fall asleep he lit a cigarette and he was looking out of his windshield and he said that he saw he saw like green and blue lights at first he said he thought it was like an airplane or a helicopter or maybe like a cell phone tower or something but he said he got to watching them and they were up ahead and he looked like they were like crossing the road left and right these lights and he said they did that maybe like 30 or 40 seconds.

And he said it happened so fast. He'd barely seen it, but it looked like the lights like beamed off. He could see like a small stream, but he said it happened so fast. He barely picked that up. His mind barely processed that he seen that beam of light. He didn't think nothing of it. He kept driving down the road and he dropped off a hill and there was that truck pulled over on the side of the road.

He slowed down And he said I passed it about 40, 45 miles an hour It was a four-door white pickup truck Every single door was open And there wasn't a sole insight Truck still running And he said it scared him bad He didn't want to stop if something bad was going on

So he kept driving But he said he passed slow enough To make sure that he could get a look at what was going on And he said there was it was dark So you couldn't see in the fields But there was no one near that vehicle At the time It was just abandoned

and it was just driving down the road, you know, two, three, four, five minutes before when he lost sight of it, it had dropped off a hill. So that was that was that occurrence. And, I mean, whether that was a UFO or that guy, maybe he just had to let his truck air out and relieve himself, you know, I don't know, but he saw some weird lights, dart back and forth across the road relatively slowly and then zoom off. and then further on down the road there's an abandoned pickup truck there yeah that's some weird stuff that's weird yeah that that that creeps me right out i'm not gonna not gonna lie that's in a

that's right in the corner too that's right in the corner southeast new mexico as you were saying my goodness your dad has really lived a very interesting life to say the least and as time goes on and the things that have happened. I think my grandmother was probably pretty close to right. He's probably a little closer to that veil than most people. Absolutely. But it sounds like he knows how to handle it because he's got, he's on the right side of things, you know?

Yeah. And he knows how to handle it with spiritually. Jay, thank you so much. I appreciate you coming on. And if things ever do continue to happen in the future and you need somewhere to share about it, feel free to reach out. Let's go, girls. So you've been taking one of these little pink pills daily?

Yeah, of course, it's been awesome coming on here.

I've been waiting a while. Probably this whole year I've been contemplating, sharing this story or not, and then I found you and talked with my dad and my uncle, and we've decided we can let the story be known. That's fantastic. thank you for trusting us enough to do so thank you yeah no problem good old tate how are you doing man yeah i bet you can guess where i'm at uh the hot tub dang how'd you know dude that's what you got

that's your that's your deal okay yeah pretty much yeah absolutely um oh i think we should say something about a certain somebody i was i was going to ask if you had any words. Hopefully some people, well, you know, no matter. So, yeah, if you know, you know the information about what happened, what's public, I guess.

We did lose quite a figure in the Bigfoot community, or it became public today, correct? Yeah, as far as I know, it became public. Yeah. So the person that we lost was pretty much the founding member of the Bluff Creek project who got the Bluff Creek project together to find the Patterson Gimwin film site. I just found out that he passed away today, and that person was Steven Struford. People might have seen him in the movie Willow Creek with Bobcat Goldweight.

He was on Finding Bigfoot before. He's been a bunch of different things, so I saw on the chat kind of like midday to day that he passed away. I was like thinking, there's no way it's real, but I guess it is because people have been posting about it. And so it's real. It's really sad news. He also was the owner of Bigfoot Books, which was a huge part of the Bigfoot community in that town, correct? Yeah. It was like, I mean, Willa Creek was like...

I mean, Willow Creek was a small town anyways. Like, they only had, they had a museum, the China Flat Museum, which is a cool museum. I encourage anybody to check it out. But it's kind of like a museum about the history of Willa Creek. And then there's like a little backroom that's dedicated solely to Bigfoot. So there's like that. There's a few Bigfoot wooden statues. There's some Bigfoot theme.

But yeah, he ran the Bigfoot bookstore in Willa Creek. that was kind of like the hub for people to come and tell their stories to people in Willow Creek because there was no place really for that. So Stephen, Stephen was definitely an OG researcher back in the day, man. So he had a great blog too. Great blog with a lot of, and his blog had a lot of historical information on it too. Oh yeah, dude. He was like a wealth of knowledge. I would go to him a lot of the times if I was like needing.

some information on something on something so he was i mean not only was he a wealth of knowledge but he was honestly like a really nice guy because you know i'm some people who knew stephen know how he was sometimes but that's just stephen you know what i'm saying and uh stephen had his moments like we all do i love the i love the dude so he's a cool guy he'll be missed for sure Absolutely, absolutely. So I'm pretty bummed about that today. Yeah. I get you.

It was unexpected. He was not that old of a gentleman. So it was very, very unexpected. I don't think he was super old. But we'll miss you, Stephen. And thank you, thank you, Tate, for being able to share. I know you're one of the people that knew him the best. how else are things going for you do you have any things coming up or keeping busy down the south

She's like, oh, I'll get David Bekara out there for him. I'm like, oh, you don't have to do that. That would be solid, though, man. How cool would that be?

I mean, yeah, that'd be sweet. That'd be the, I mean, that's kind of the goal. It would actually be the second time I've met him, to be honest. Yeah. I don't think he'd remember me, though. It's been forever. The area that I'm going to is the area that Alex Eli I went to but we got rained out.

Yeah, that would be cool. That area is good. It just, the weather wasn't on our side. Yeah, that would be cool to see another dock then where it's not raining. That would be pretty cool.
