Bigfoot Society - Something Followed Him for 20 Years in the New Hampshire Woods

Episode Date: January 23, 2026

For more than 20 years, the same patch of woods in Southern New Hampshire kept responding to one man’s presence.Near the Pelham, Windham, and Hudson area—just minutes from Nashua and the Massachusetts border—an experienced outdoorsman began noticing things that didn’t add up. A silent figure in the road at dusk. Woods that went unnaturally quiet. Heavy footsteps where no one should be. Strange odors, impossible footprints, objects thrown with force, and lights moving through the trees where no one was standing.These weren’t isolated moments. They happened again and again, always in the same places: hunting trails, ponds, rock walls, and deep forest edges surrounded by towns and neighborhoods.In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Doc shares his full account for the first time—how it started, what followed, and why it took decades before the pattern finally made sense.If you think activity like this only happens far from civilization, listen closely.Some woods remember you.🗣️ Share Your StoryHad a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?Send it to [e-mail] – your story might be featured on the show!🎥 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube🔴 Subscribe here → Bigfoot Society YouTube💬 Leave a comment & let us know your thoughts!📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → Speakpipe (Use multiple voicemails if needed)👥 Share this episode → Watch & Share🎧 More episodes → Podcast Playlist🌲 Recommended: New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters💥 Support the Show & Get Perks✅ Join the community on Supercast – Become a Member✅ Listen ad-free & early on YouTube – Join Here📱 Let’s ConnectInstagram: @bigfootsocietyTwitter: @bigfoot_societyTikTok: @bigfoot.society🧰 Tools & Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)These help support the show at no extra cost to you:Beam (Better Sleep): Try BeamWildgrain (Better Bread): Join HereSeed (Probiotics): Get SeedMedi-Share (Healthcare): Learn MoreLMNT (Electrolytes) Free Sample Pack with your first purchase! : Get LMNTOrganic and non-GMO groceries delivered for lesshttp://thrv.me/uarEhS🎙️ Podcasting Tools:Repurpose.io: Try ItDescript: Sign UpStreamyard: Start RecordingRiverside.fm: Try Riverside🎧 My Audio Interface: View on Amazon☕ Buy Me a Coffee – Support Here🛍️ Grab Some Merch – Shop on Etsy📬 Mailing Address:Bigfoot Society125 E 1st St. #233Earlham, IA 50072

And each one leaves us with more questions. than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it. So settle in because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever.

So stay with us. All right, welcome back to another episode of Bigfoot Society. We've got a new friend on the show today. We've got Doc with us. Doc is an outdoorsman.

We don't get too many New Hampshire people on the show. It's always a privilege to have those individuals on. I grew up very close. very close to New Hampshire, just over the mass line in a small town called Northfield and Western Mass. So I'm very familiar with New Hampshire and how it's just a beautiful, beautiful country up there. You guys, listeners from New Hampshire, have it very nice up there and no tax.

So that's always a fun time. Absolutely. But Doc, you're on the show to share some interesting things that you've experienced over the years. So I want to make sure that you have the time to do that. So welcome to the show and feel free to share what you've experienced. All right. So, yeah, I'm an avid outdoorsman. I always have been hiking, fishing, hunting, hiking, you know, nearby trails and mountainous areas.

So I'm pretty familiar with the woods. And to begin my story, I was heading home from one. work one one early evening it was still light out but just about dusk and it's and it's snowing i come up over this rise and right before a sharp corner there's this this what i thought was a person in the middle of the road just past the center line in in my lane and uh with his back kind of just kind of towards away from me, back towards me. And he was looking away from me. So I come over the rise and I slam on my brakes. And as I'm skidding around trying to avoid this person, I stopped right next to it, right next to him. And that's when I realized that it wasn't a fur coat.

And there was no other clothing visible. No shoes. And that's just what I remember from the two seconds that I slammed on the brakes that I stopped right next to it. And my passenger door was, I mean, I was a foot away from this thing. And I look out my window and it's kind of foggy. Like I said, it was snowing. And, you know, there's a fog on the window glass.

And I didn't see a ton. but what I did see was like a reddish brown, a longer for three or four inches long. And it just seemed dirty to me, and something didn't seem right, so I got the heck out of there really fast and just kept driving home. I was literally five minutes from my house.

So the weirdest thing about it was any person I think any person that was standing in the road as I was coming over that hill would have looked over at me and this thing did not look at me not even once

it didn't move it didn't budge didn't even flinch even when I stopped next to it it was still back towards turned towards me and that's when I said

something's not right and I left. So that was the incident. I went about my life and kind of forgot about it and just wrote it off as a person. But those woods that it was looking into is my hunting area and hiking area and whatnot. So as I'm walking through these woods time after time, I always, find this one part of the trail that seems like I always got creeped out there. And I'm not really sure why, or I wasn't sure why at the time. It always felt like something was watching me.

And it just never seemed right. And more times than not, and I was in these woods quite a bit, But more times than not, I would hear breaking branches and stop and then not hear anything. And then one day I actually went to explore the cracking branches. And I didn't see anything, but I found a old pile of rocks. So I'm looking through these rocks and just to find a cool one to bring home with me. And I didn't see anything. So I just kept going. about my day again.

The next couple of weeks, I don't think I was out there. And like two weeks later, I went back out there and I actually walked past that pile of rocks again. And weirdly enough, and I'm thinking of myself, how could I have missed this? But right on the top of this, and this is a huge pile, it was like 20 foot, 20 foot of boulders, probably five, six feet tall. and right on the top was a 20, 25 pound rose quartz, very clean. There was no moss on it. And I'm like, how could I have missed that? And it's like weird.

And I just brought her home and didn't think anything of it again. There's a lot of these things that happened over the years that just seemed weird at the time. and I wasn't really sure what was going on until I started listening to your podcast and then I started putting these things together and I'm like, no way. So that just led me to believe that the guy in the middle of the road

wasn't a guy. For sure, it wasn't a guy. So year after year, I just keep going out there. there and just always heard breaking branches and stuff. And I know, you know, sometimes it could be something else like a deer or whatever, but I got to tell you for southern New Hampshire, which is supposed to be loaded with deer, this area was not. It was very odd. I got two deer out of that in 25 years. That's pretty, pretty bad. And I'm not.

not saying I'm a great hunter or anything, but I spent my time out there and I could only get two deer out of that. A lot of the times I was out there, everything was quiet. I never thought anything about it, you know, but I always realized that there was no birds. There was no chipmunks of squirrels or, you know, stuff like that. It was always quiet. And not always, always, but more times than not, it was quiet. So I'm thinking that this thing was out there watching me this whole time. Now I'm thinking that. Back then, I wasn't.

Some other things that I came across was hunting one day. I came across a pretty good-sized hunting blind on the ground. I had three walls. and I walked into it. It was pretty deep. I walked into it and immediately smelled something awful. And I'm like, I'm thinking of myself, what was it here? It smells bad.

So I get out of there pretty quick. A couple years after that. So this incident was actually in like 1995. And now we're probably jumping to 2010 to 2015. and I'm out there hunting and I know the land pretty well. Like I said, I saw that blind. It smelled really bad. I've never smelled anything like it, which I thought was oddly strange.

Probably 50 feet from that, maybe a year or two later, I see two footprints in the mud, bare feet. thinking back now that I wish I had taken a picture or gone home and got some plaster. I didn't know anything about that stuff back then. I knew about Bigfoot from, you know, in search of and stuff, but always thought if they were around that they weren't out in my area, they were out west or in Canada, you know, just like everybody else thinks, I guess. So once I saw the footprints, you know, and then they weren't huge. huge. They were bigger than mine, and I wear a size 12, 13. They were bigger than mine, bare feet. It was bigger than my boot. So, you know, 13, 14 inches maybe. It was a good sized footprint. And I'm like, who would be out here bare feet? And it was like fall, so it wasn't warm.

It was very odd, but again, just brushed it off. I know what I saw, but I can't be sure that it was actually what I think it is. You know, it could have been a human, I suppose. That's what I was thinking at the time. So then this one other incident, and that was a couple years before I stopped going there, I've been up in Maine now for a few years, and I stopped going to that area, probably five years before that. So it's probably been eight-ish years since I've been out in those woods. I used to target practice out there.

And one day I was tiger practicing. And I'm next to a pond. And out of the corner, I wasn't shooting at this time. I was reloading or whatever I was doing. And out of the corner of my eye, I hear something. Well, I hear something. And then I see something out of corner of my eye. And it's this branch going end over end through the woods into the pond that I'm sitting next to.

And it was probably 50 feet away from me. So I just turn and I look and I don't hear or see anything. But I'm curious. So I get up. and I start walking down the trail towards where this branch came out of the woods from. And I just stand there for 15, 20 minutes, and I stare and I stare and I see nothing, nothing, nothing. End up walking that way back home, which I usually don't do because it's not really a trail. I'm kind of just going through the forest at that point and then meet back up to the trail.

but it was it was just very odd i couldn't think of anything else that would have would have done that and there was no person there i would have seen them i would have heard them i stood there silent and just stared and i saw nothing uh so as far as stuff like that that's about it the only other thing that i could uh think of that in that same area uh i I had a tree stand, and I was there one night right until dark, and all of a sudden I see a flashlight, what I thought was a flashlight coming towards me through the woods, and they're following a rock wall. And I'm sitting there and just watching it, and it's bouncing like somebody walking with a flashlight. And then all of a sudden, 15 feet from me, it just disappears.

Gone. And there was silence. Nothing. Nothing happened. Nothing. I couldn't see anything. And I sat there for another 10 minutes in my tree stand. I'm like, what am I going to do now?

And I was a little scared and a little freaked out. So I got down really quick and ran down the hill, which is pretty steep hill, probably 200 feet or so, down to the swampy area and then back to my truck. and that was one of the last times I was out there. I think I went out there a couple more times after that, but that was pretty much it. I started doing other things and just stopped going there completely. So, yeah, that's my story. That is, that's some fascinating stuff, Doc.

So, yeah, a few questions. I have for you. So you did mention, so it's 1995 when your initial road siding happens. Correct. And we know it's in southern New Hampshire. We also were talking a little bit before recording that we're not going to get super specific just for particular reasons. But do you feel comfortable saying if it's on the west side or the east side of the state? Yeah, it's southern central. We're 15 minutes from Nashville, New Hampshire. I'm 10 minutes from the Massachusetts border. I'm 30 minutes from Manchester, New Hampshire. It's in the Pelham, Wyndham, Hudson area. It's kind of the woods have all three of these towns in it. Absolutely.

Listeners who aren't familiar with New Hampshire will kind of be like, Southern New Hampshire, that sounds like it's maybe not. But then if you look into past episodes, Southeast New Hampshire has some stuff going on. You can look at the siting map that I've put together on Bigfoot Society Podcast.com. And just north, up by Manchester,

I mean, there's been a ton of activity up there. So I definitely would not, yeah, wouldn't put it past this area at all. So a few questions about what you saw that day. So what were you driving specifically? I was a mid-sized car. Okay. Gotcha.

So we're talking like maybe like a four-door sedan, something like that. Yeah, yeah. Okay. So then you're sitting down in the car. So then your viewpoint, you're looking straight ahead. So what part of the big foot from the back of it then are you looking at? When I had stopped right next to it, all I could see was back. Okay.

Okay, got you. Yeah. And the head was above my sight. So as far as height, I'm guessing six feetish. Wasn't super tall. They weren't really bulky. If I was to guess it was, you know, a juvenile or a female, small female. Do you remember any details about was it overly muscular or did it seem to be more lean or anything like that?

Yeah, it was more lean. It wasn't thin, but it wasn't super muscular. It was just kind of normalish. Gotcha. Were you able to notice anything about the arms at all? I know you've said a few times that you noticed the back of it. Yeah, yeah. So when I came over that hill, I saw the whole thing.

And like I said, there was no, it was not. Nothing but fur. There was no clothes. There was no pants. There was no shoes. There was, you know, the color from that distance looked to me like a reddish brown. And when I got closer, it had more of a multicolored black and brown and reddish and maybe a couple of streaks of blonde in it. And again, at that point, I couldn't see its head.

And then I couldn't see the, you know, below the waist. either once once i had stopped right next to it gotcha okay that makes sense um so from the the viewpoint that you had as you were getting up close to it you could see the whole thing from the back side um what were the main things that told you that what you're looking at is not a bear that's on its hind legs. Well, again, I'm a pretty good outdoorsman. I've been around quite a few bears. Yeah, I know what they look like, and that certainly wasn't a bear.

Even a bear, I think, would have turned to see the car coming towards it and at least flinched. This thing did not budge, not even an inch. Makes sense. Were there any details about it? you noticed that we're like, yeah, what I'm looking at was definitely not a bear besides the not flinching. Oh, for sure. Just, I mean, obviously just standing up and was standing up straight. There was no slouching over.

There was, you know, the color of it, the length of the hair was, you know, a lot longer than a bear. it just did not look like one at all. Absolutely. Yeah. So you stopped. You're about a foot away, which is so extremely close. Yeah. It's incredible how close that was.

Can you tell me a bit about how... So you said you left the scene. You're like, I got to get out of here. How did that come out? Yeah. Yeah. When I looked over at it and it didn't move and I'm looking at its fur and it just looked really dirty like it just came out of a swamp really. It was wet and I mean, obviously it was snow and it was probably wet anyways, but it just looked dirty. And again, there's no bear out there that would not keep itself clean. Maybe a sick one, but. Right, right.

So in order for you to get where you were going after this, which was you were going back home, right? Yeah. Did you have to keep going past where the Bigfoot was in front of you, or did you have to turn around to get back there? No, I just kept going. I had already been past. I went past it already, kind of. I mean, I stopped right next to it, and then I went past. Oh, okay, gotcha.

Okay. So you stopped. It's a foot ahead of you. You kind of... Yeah, on the passenger side, it was next to me, yeah. Okay, gotcha. Okay, so you're, it's on the passenger side. You're kind of looking there.

So that makes sense because then you could just easily... Yeah, I just keep going, right? Yeah. It wasn't obstructing my path, so... Got it. Got it. That's cool. Let me think for a second.

I think that's all the questions that I... Oh, When you got home, how long was it until you told someone else about what happened? I think I told my wife something weird happened. And we kind of laughed about it. And she may have said something like maybe it was Bigfoot. This is Matt Rogers from Los Culture Reistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen-Yang.

at your local retailer. Mabelene, New York. At the age of the 50, I've learned some things, like the value of the family, the importance of the job, and that the 99% of the people of more of 50

have the virus that cause a Culebrilla. Although not all the people in risk the developeran, I see the suffer. The eruption dolorous with ampollosures during that even the tasks more simple are all a retort.

No, learn about the Culebrae of the way difficult. Talked on your doctor or pharmaceutical, patrocinoed for GSK. And I'm sure we laughed about it. I don't exactly remember the conversation, but other than that, I don't think I told anybody else.

And I just went about my life and kind of forgot about it. Is Bigfoot a thing that would ever come up in this area of New Hampshire? where you were living? No. I've never heard anybody say anything about it. Not seeing one anyways.

Yeah, and I can say that from experience too, because as we were talking about before this show, I grew up in mass, but it would be over by Keene and Winchester. So that's more southwest New Hampshire-ish. And there's so much activity that happens over there by Morelboro. And I was there for a good 18 years and I never heard any of it. Right.

It never, ever came up. And like now I'm into it and like the stories that come out of like Marlboro and that area are just wild. Yeah. And it's like that area just people don't talk. They do not talk about it. Yeah. And it took me 30 years. Yeah.

Absolutely. Why did you decide to come forward after 30 years of not really putting it out there? Well, I mean, you know, it's always been in the back of my mind, but I was never really sure until I started listening to your podcasts and listening to them every single day and people coming up with these accounts. And I'm like, wow, that happened to me. And then, wow, that happened to me. And I just came up with this epiphany that that's what I saw. And this is what it did while it was watching me for 30 years almost. 30 years.

It's shocking to think about that now. That really is. That's wild. And I think that you really, you know, you said it in a good way is, you know, and I hear, because I'm the one doing the interviewing and you just, you're right, you start to hear these patterns and if you've experienced something yourself you're like oh okay it's it's not really a big deal if i share what happened to me like it is literally a thing where everyone yeah uh there's they're all over the place you know it's it's not a thing that i should be ashamed of or whatever

yeah exactly yeah so yeah that's why i called you awesome i'm glad i'm glad that we got connected um you're about The rock pile in the rose quartz. That's really interesting. How big was the rose quartz? It was about, it's about the size of a big bowling ball. Oh. Yeah, it was good size.

It was a, it's a beautiful rock. And I'm talking to myself, like, how could I have misses? It's right on the top. I didn't miss it the first time. I didn't. I know I didn't now. it was it was set there for me that's man it is it is so interesting um did anything out of the ordinary happen after you brought it home ha so i do have where where those woods are they can get to my

house through a town forest and a couple of little swamps and and and be in my back which is power lines. So there was a possibility. It was back there watching me as well. I'm not sure. I didn't see anything. Didn't hear anything other than one night. Our house, the neighbor's house on either side,

we all got woken up like 2.30 in the morning. Something screaming out in the backwoods like a woman. Can't say for sure what it was. People were saying, you know, the neighbors were saying, oh, it's a fisher cat, which very well could have been. I don't know. But I guess that would be the oddest thing that happened out back. Gotcha.

And you being an outdoorsman, I mean, you would know, I'm guessing, what a fisher cat sounds like and what a fox sounds like. We both know that foxes can sound really terrible, like just like demons out there. Yeah. But you know what that sounds like. Yeah, I definitely do. And actually, there's a possibility that there could have been a mountain lion back there as well. I did see one years later after that incident of the screaming woman in the back. I saw one crossing the highway, three cars in front of me, with three cars in front of me.

So all four of us saw it like a mile from my house. So it could have been a mountain line as well, but I don't know. Well, we both know that mountain lions don't exist in New England. Yeah, I couldn't even say it with a straight face. I know, I know. Yeah. Well, trust me, there are. Trust me there are.

I saw one. Yeah, absolutely. Man, growing up, it was like the wildlife guys would be like, oh, yeah, there's no mountain lines. we would see them in the backyards in Northfield on Main Street. Like people are seeing Mount Wards. It's crazy. It's nuts.

It's nuts. But how long were the, when you heard that noise that sounded like the woman screaming, how long were they? Were they the short bursts or did they very long? No, it was kind of a longer scream. And they lasted, it went on for probably 15 minutes. And there was like 10 people. outside listening to this outside their houses. Now imagine, so you're saying the whole ordeal was probably about 15 minutes.

Yeah. Okay. And from being woken up from the noise and then all of us outside, yeah. So imagine like you're trying to say, okay, from the time, if you could even realize this, from the time it took a breath and it started screaming, like, could you tell how long those bursts were? from then it had to stop and probably take another breath. Yeah. If I'd have to guess, you know, 20, 30 seconds maybe.

Wow. Yeah. Okay. It was a good burst, yeah. Yeah. I think, because mountain lions are usually shorter, right? Trying to remember. Yeah, I think so.

I looked it up and it didn't quite sound like it was, a mountain lion. But, again, I can't be sure. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. The, so the tracks that you saw. Yep. Five toes. Okay.

Yeah. That's what I was going to get at. Look pretty normal to me. That's why I was skeptical at the time. I think I did take a picture, but I've lost it since. So you saw a few footprints. Two. Two of them.

Okay. Could you get anything about the way it was walking? from the way that the footprints were set up or were left? It was probably a slow walk. I don't think they had a super long stride. If I'm going to guess, and I probably should have been more aware of it, but I didn't know what I was really looking at. Exactly, yeah.

The stride could have been four feet apart. I'm not sure, but maybe a little less, but that's probably pretty accurate for the size that I saw. Were they in a line or were they next to each other? They were in a line. Okay. Gotcha. Do you remember anything about the orientation of the toes? Yeah, I mean, it was in not really deep mud, but it was always.

obviously in enough mud to make a print. So I couldn't really tell you that for sure. I mean, it kind of looked distorted to me. Gotcha. That is really interesting. And those prints were 50 feet from that deer blind that I saw that had the scent in it. Yeah. Which, that's like how many guys?

guys are just going to be out there with really large feet with no shoes on. I got to tell you, I was in those woods more than anybody else. 98% to 99% of the time, except for hunting season, I was out there alone. Nobody else was ever out there, ever, ever out there. Occasionally, I'd see somebody walking their dog occasionally. And then other times maybe some four-wheelers were out there in their jeeps or something. But hardly anybody was ever out there. I was by myself 99% of the time.

Gotcha. So it sounds like, well, it sounds like this area was definitely readily accessible to the general public. Oh, yeah. Yeah, there's several ways to get into it. There's several trails. Yeah, for sure. Okay, cool. Cool. So you talked about seeing a weird light in the woods, which that's something I have not experienced yet. Yeah.

But it's very interesting. Did I have a certain color to it? It was just like a dull flashlight, just whiteish. And it was probably, you know, four feet off the ground like somebody's holding it down on their arm. holding it in their hand down by their side. Did the size of the actual light, did that line up with the normal size of what a flashlight would give off as well? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, that's what I thought at the time. And then it disappeared and I'm like, what was that?

Yeah. That's the weird part because, you know, at 15 feet from it. Right. Logically, you're like, well, it might have been a flashlight, right? But then it disappeared. Like you didn't see anyone there. Dawn. And there was silence, nothing but darkness.

And I'm 15 feet away up in a tree. Yeah. So, okay, so on top of that, then you're not hearing like something stepping. Nothing. No footsteps. Nothing like that. Yeah. And that is probably 200 to 250 feet away from where I saw it on the road.

So, all this stuff is, yards away. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, yards. Yeah. So all this stuff is really close by each other. It's close. Yeah, close proximity.

The footprints were probably a quarter mile into the woods from all these incidents. Mm-hmm. Yeah. All the branch breaks, again, within a quarter of mile of where I saw it, where I saw it, where I saw the light, where the branch, these are all right in that area. So you would spend time in this is deer stand up in a tree. Yeah. So you're saying, so you're in here for 20 years, right?

Oh, I hunted in that for 20, 25 years, yeah. And the whole time, now, did you see more than two deer? or you're just saying you harvested a total of two deer at that time? I harvested a total of two deer out of there. I did see many more, but there should have been a lot more deer in that area and that never was. Absolutely. And they always seemed so skittish, and I always wondered why. Is this area spending a lot of time in there, were there any other weird things that would happen or be reported or missing people or anything like that?

No, no, never heard anything about that. No missing people, nothing. Yeah, I can't think of anything like that. It's a pretty safe place. And I felt safe too. I never felt threatened. I just felt a little creeped out like something was watching me all the time. And, you know, I realize why now.

But that's the only emotion I ever felt was just a little strangeness. I never felt threatened ever. Even when the branch got thrown, there was no fear out of me or anything. I stuck around. I waited for 20 minutes where I saw the branch coming from and watched the woods, and I just didn't feel anything. Remind me, were you able to track down that branch that was thrown?

No, it went into the middle of the pond. Oh, okay. Yeah. It probably from the time I turned my head to see it flipping end over end to the time it went into the middle of the pond, you know, it was a couple of seconds. And it probably, I visually saw it travel 80 feet. Wow. Yeah. Oh, my goodness.

And I could hear it before that. Wild, wild stuff. It is crazy. I'm looking at the mapping and it's crazy how close it is to down there to the state line. I mean, right? But there are woods down there for sure. Oh, yeah. And then, I mean, you've got like North Chelmsford right over and Lull and stuff.

It's just crazy, man. Yeah, exactly. We're surrounded by cities. I mean, there's hundreds of houses around. there's thousands of people never ever heard anybody say it but yet there are definitely people having stuff happen because every once in a while

someone from like the North Shore or Southern New Hampshire like yourself will just send an email and then we'll actually get to talk and you know I'd say if people are listening to this and they've had things happen in the same area you know

we can, I would love to hear from you. And even if it's a thing where you don't want to go on record, you know, that is okay. Or we can do, you know, audio only like this episode is audio only for that reason. But Doc, thank you so much for sharing what you experienced. I want to make sure that you were able to share everything from your experiences over the years. Yeah, that's all I can think of. If I can think of anything else, I'll definitely give you a buzz.

but I appreciate you having me on so much, very much. Thank you much.

If you're in the military, any branch, or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain, or if you're a national park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI, a federal agency, or working intelligence,

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

and you saw something that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or anything with clearance, and you've seen what the public hasn't, then I want to talk to you. Even if it's anonymous, you can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail.com. The world needs to hear what you've been forced to carry alone, and you're not alone.
