Bigfoot Society - Something Tapped on His Window for 45 Minutes at a UFO Ranch

Episode Date: September 28, 2026

For 45 minutes, something tapped against a window approximately nine feet above the ground while John Bertoli lay alone inside a remote yurt near Mount Adams.John’s experiences began decades earlier in the forests surrounding Williamstown, Massachusetts. As a child, he repeatedly felt watched along the Taconic Crest Trail and heard what sounded like groups of voices near an abandoned homestead in Hopkins Memorial Forest. Later incidents included an unexplained pressure wave near Cole Avenue, a tree falling moments after he requested a sign, and three concealed presences sensed on Pine Cobble Mountain.His search eventually led him across the country to ECETI Ranch in Washington, where he lived for eight months. John shares two visual sightings, wood knocks around the Field of Dreams, heavy footsteps approaching through the darkness, a voice calling his name near his tent, and the prolonged nighttime activity outside the yurt.John also discusses telepathy, consciousness, the connections he perceives between Sasquatch and UFO activity, and the importance of approaching these experiences with respect and clear intentions.Listen to John Bertoli’s complete firsthand account on Bigfoot Society.Resources:https://www.facebook.com/john.michael.bertoli.12Get the free Bigfoot hotspots report: https://bit.ly/bfsreport📖 Follow Jeremiah's cancer health updates here:https://www.caringbridge.org/site/569ef3d3-68be-11f1-8790-97fdfd2bbc64🗣️ 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 all of a sudden I heard three really loud footprints coming. Boom, boom, boom, right up next to me in a time. Nothing there. At the base of Mount Adams in Washington, John Bertoli spent eight months living at East Settie Ranch, where he says unexplained activity moved closer to his tent. Years earlier, he had sensed a similar presence in the forest of western Massachusetts, but what had followed him out of those woods? I'm Jeremiah Byron, and this is Bigfoot Society.

Was it that first got you introduced to the Bigfoot subject, John? My mother used to take my two older sisters and I hiking up the Taconic Crest Trail. So I lived in Williamstown, Massachusetts, which is in the far upper left-hand corner of Massachusetts. So north, about three to four minutes, and you're in Vermont, five to seven minutes west,

and you're in New York State. So we would drive up to Connick Park or to, well, yeah, it's a Taconic Trail and go up to the top. And there was a parking spot in this place called Deconic Crest Trail that travels across the crest of part of the Green Mountains going due north into Vermont. And you actually hike past the point where there's a stone obelisk in the woods where New York State, Massachusetts and Vermont all meet. It's pretty cool up there, but we would go up there and I was young, probably no more than seven years old when we started. And there was a spot where the trail, it's a four mile hike to a place called the snow hole. And the snow hole is this natural freezer in the ground where there's snow in it pretty much all year around. It's actually really cool. But there's an energy. up there. There's a lot of strange things that have happened in that area. But we would hike up the trail. The trail has varying levels of difficulty and it'll go down through very wooded areas and then it'll start back up different kind of rolling hills. Now the green mountains in that area are not really,

really tall, you know, not like the Rockies or anything like that, but they're mountains. And this one area in particular was this grassy hill on the way up. It was on the right side. And there were these boulders that were kind of spaced out through that area. And there were these white birch trees up through there. And I always got the feeling that I was being watched up there. It was like really, really eerie. And my mother and my two older sisters, they never picked up on it.

Now, it's probably pertinent to mention that I'm a high sensitive. And I've seen things and sense things and experienced a lot of things that others around me did not and have not. And so every time we went up there, I felt very much like I was being watched. also when we reach that spot people talk about mind speak and whatever they want to call it um it's telepathy and there's a lot of different levels of telepathy and people actually have the natural ability to do to use telepathy whether it's a skill and a sensitivity and if you nurture it you get better at it if you completely you know ignore it or whatever it's innate but I would hear what sounded like small groups of people talking,

but I couldn't understand what they were saying, but there was a lot of chatter, and I could hear that. It was audible to me, and I always felt that that was kind of strange, but the other thing that was really strange is that I never told my mother about that. And there was a lot of things that happened, and I think that that's by and large,

do the fact that when I was really little and I was experiencing pretty incredible things, nobody believe me. So at an early age, I stopped talking about it. So fast forward a little bit. I was born in 1965, so around the time, and I know you've heard us a hundred times, in the 70s there was a show called In Search of with Leonard Nimoy. And the Bigfoot, episode came on and I was glued to it. I was just, I was absolutely glued to that show. And it made me feel as though

there was some kind of a connection or I felt something that, even as a young child. And then I actually even talked my parents into bringing me to the movie. I think it might have even been before the movie or the show was released. There was a movie called In Search of,

big flood. Yes. And we went to the movies to see that. And there was a map that was shown in it where there were sightings. And there were some in western Massachusetts. And so I had been really interested in that ever since then. And so years go by, we would go up there every summer. And it was always the same thing, the same thing, the same thing. And then one winter, I think I was, probably about eight, maybe, I know, I was still in single digits. It was during the wintertime and I was outside playing in Snowbank. And I'm guessing it gets dark pretty early up there. I'm guessing it's probably about 6, 6.30, something like that.

And I suddenly had this very, very strong, overwhelming feeling that I was being watched from this little patch of woods that was right down behind our house. and it scared me. And that's never left me. I've kept that and I've meditated on that and tried my best to figure that out throughout my entire life. It was a profound experience. And through my meditations, I made the connection that whomever it was, and I do mean

whomever, not whatever, it was the same as who was watching me up on the Tacoticus Trail. So fast forward a little bit that that always stayed with me now I was somewhat of a troubled kid due to the fact that I was trying to process a lot of the experiences that I was having no one would believe me I was actually starting to believe that I was insane or had schizophrenia or something like that and I didn't do well in high school and junior high and I used to skip school lot and I used to go during school hours I would go up into Hopkins Forest which is on the lower east side of that mountain range leading right up to the Conniquest Trail and there was this one spot where there was an old homestead in early 1900s and the building had long gone was long gone but you could see like um like old pots and pans and and porcelain items and they were still there

And whenever I got into that area, I started getting that chatter, that mind chatter again. And so, I mean, it really affected me. And it always sounded like there was a group of them that were male and female and so forth. And so that's a very long answer to a simple question. That's absolutely fascinating. A lot of people who are not familiar with Massachusetts might not realize how wild the northwestern corner is north adams and the area that you're talking about all up there is pretty well you got the hairpin turn that's fun to drive around if you're familiar with that

when you're getting these experiences growing up out in the woods and you're hearing you know these these uh you're hearing the telepathy and mind speak um were there any points when you could hear specific phrases that were said directly to you, or was it always a thing where it sounded like there were people talking to each other? A lot of it was directed at me, but it wasn't English, which is, I mean, we can go in that direction. There are ancient languages that these beings. speak and their their languages aren't as much of a spoken word it's more of a it's an empathic language

it's felt more than heard that makes any sense to you it's something that I discovered is actually my connection to a lot of different aspects of people what people refer to as paranormal where I don't refer to it as paranormal. It's normal. It's part of what being human is and human consciousness, but it's been programmed out of the norm, and I think very much intentionally. But the ancients knew this.

But to try and answer your question, it's kind of hard. There's levels of there's levels of awareness and You know your everyday awareness of You get up you do your normal routine you interact with people around you that's one level Then another higher level would be walk into a room and you sense someone's intent or You can feel You feel things

more than think, right? You're using a higher sense and then it goes higher and higher from there. So what I've learned about these beings, they're a type of people. They're not a stupid ape that lives in the woods that happens to be, you know, hard to hunt, you know, hard to track down or whatever. they're extremely intelligence and they they're I don't want to use the word evolved because that doesn't really apply to them they they're true nature they have abilities that are far beyond uh what normal humans can do uh your average human i should say and they are they're extremely old i mean there's there's they they appear in cave drawings and and thousands and thousands of thousands of thousands of years old and if you look at the history of williamstown there i mean back in the 1800s there were articles in in the newspaper about the wild man right and then and then the

the bfro um they're that one in what 2016 uh just on route seven and williamstown woman saw one in One of them in a field. Well, that was just on the road from my house. Okay. Yeah, I mean, within a mile and a half, you know, from where I grew up. And another interesting thing is in the ones that have been reported in October Mountain is my brother-in-law, he's passed now, but he used to be the supervisor, October State Forest. Oh, my goodness.

Yeah, so there's a connection there. and I wish he was around today. I could ask him more, but I talked a little bit about him, and he felt on more than one occasion that he sensed that they were around him when he was up in the forest as well. So, I mean, they're fascinating beings. And I, like a lot of people have had real terrifying encounters with him. I have never had the first.

feeling of dread or that I was in danger or anything like that. And I've had some pretty strong interactions, especially up in Washington. But here, like in Williamstown, here for example, I was, you seem to know the area pretty well. So Coal Avenue is a road that goes down to what turns into Mass Avenue. And if you follow Mass Avenue, you can get up to the hairpin turn. going towards North Adams. But there was an area that's down behind where the railroad tracks are. And it was an old dump at one point, but they cleaned it out,

and it's just like really thick little patch of woods. And I was just, I went for a walk one day, probably 9 o'clock in the morning. and it was it was towards the towards the spring most of the snow was gone but we had just we just got a nice little dusting and I was walking down this one little path towards the woods I prefer to be in wilderness or you know that nature and that type of thing and I sensed that

someone was over in this area not a human but sensed a presence over in this one little area and I followed this little trail and all of a sudden I heard this really really loud like and that shockwave hit me in the chest and whoever was there and I got the impression through my being you know sensitivity and telepathy that it was a young male who didn't think I was sensitive enough to sense his presence and I got close to him and he didn't let me see him, but that shock wave hit me right in the chest. I don't want to say it knocked the wind out of me,

but it made me, it startled me and made me, you know, one of those types of things. And I was like, I'm sorry I didn't mean to bother you, and I turned around and went the other way. Wow. And then a couple months later, I was down in that same area because now I'm drawn to that area. And I'm throughout my life,

I'm actively looking for interaction with them. I mean, I'm not, I want to make contact with them because of just how I feel. And I was down there, it was a sunny day, probably one in the afternoon. And basically, I kind of put my intent out where, hey, if you're down here, let me know. And it wasn't but a minute later, I heard a tree break. Boom, down it went. I was like, wow, okay, I believe you, you know. And the energy that they, I mean, I'm actually getting chills talking about this right now

because they have the ability to operate in higher frequency ranges. And so within those higher frequency ranges, everything's connected. So there's no, like distance is non-existent. It's a frequency. It's like your radio, you change to another frequency. okay, I'm going to tune into this. And that's what telepathy is. And it can come in a form of feeling.

It can come in as emotion. It can come in as speech. That's where you get your mind speak. Or in several instances I've had it where it's a series of rapid images in your minds eye, really, really fast attached with feeling, where there's not any spoken words, but it's a that that that that that that even 15, 20 images in fraction of second and it's it's intense. But that what I believed was a juvenile male, I believe I had one other time when I was close to him.

And I think there was two young other young ones. But that was on Pine Cobble Mountain, which is relatively close. and it's a hiking and I was hiking up the trail in the winter and there had been an ice storm and everything was covered with a sheet of ice where it looked like everything was glass and it was silent up there and I felt that same presence around this one area where it's really really thick and it felt like there were three of them there and I continued up to the top and when I came back down they were gone I didn't send some again on the way back down but those were most of what I had experienced in the Williamstown area.

Okay. That's very interesting. When you were talking about how it seemed like it was an ancient language that you'll hear, have you ever looked to see if what you're hearing is similar to other ancient languages that have been discovered? Okay. This is going to be way out there for some people. But you asked the question, okay? I was living in Adams, Massachusetts at this time, and I went to a period of time when I was meditating. I had a seasonal job.

And so in the wintertime, I was a lead operator on a golf course. So in the wintertime, we were just laid off. and I had a tremendous amount of time on my hands and there was not a lot going on in that area and I didn't really want to take a pay cut. So I just took the winter off like practically the whole crew did and I went into a period of where I would meditate sometimes three and four hours a day. Not all at once, but you know an hour here, maybe two hours there. But they're very often moving meditations, not sitting in a low disposition home, nothing like that. but I had an experience where are you familiar with what toning is? Probably not.

Toning is a technique because we're looking to align with certain frequencies within those frequencies is data, memory, information. Because consciousness operates within frequency. So you have your, like if you look at your brain waves, alpha waves, beta waves, delta waves, data waves, and they all correlate to mood and ability and so forth. It's the same type of thing, right? So as you meditate, you can bring yourself into certain states of sensitivity to be able to tap into different types of things. Perfect example was, I had a friend of mine who was, I was living in Pittsville at the time, and I've heard that he was, he was homeless and he was a really close friend of mine I was like wow okay I'm gonna go up there and I looked and looked and looked for him I couldn't find him and I finally just said well I'm

gonna meditate and I said to him you know and his name is John I said John show me where you are and I had this flash in my mind of this bridge with all these upright slats steel slats on one side and it looked like a bridge that was right over by where his old girlfriend lived so he drove over there, talked to people, couldn't find him. So I was driving back to Pittsfield from North Adams into Williamstown, and I suddenly felt an urge. I said, no, we need to go down Cole Avenue again, that same place, probably not even an eighth of a mile from where I had that encounter with that young male. And there on the bridge were those metal slats on the side. and there he was getting ready to walk underneath the bridge.

So that's telepathy, but you got to practice. You know, anybody can do it. But you have to practice it and you have to be willing. If you don't believe you can do it, you can't do it. It's kind of like if you can believe you can do it or you don't believe you can do it, you're right on both accounts. So at that point, I suddenly was touching into certain, things now I had this one other experience which is very very important when I was about four years old

I was very very sick with bronchitis on the verge of pneumonia and I was laying in my bed and my parents were downstairs and I woke up I remember just burning up and pouring sweat a little little kid and I looked at the at the doorway of my bedroom and there was a woman standing there and she was wearing light pale blue like robes and a thing over her head and she had these amazing blue eyes and she was looking right at me and she was speaking that same language but in my mind her her lips weren't moving but I could hear this language and it was it was an incredible feeling saying you know you're going to be you're going to be just fine here to help you and these words I'm saying you will remember and it took me a long time

to actually remember all of that stuff and I'm actually writing a book so that's kind of fresh in my mind right now but the language itself is very very ancient now during this meditation you know I was roughly see I'm 61 now I was 59 years old when this happened I suddenly felt through toning and I was listening to a video of toning I suddenly felt this this incredible rush of energy every hair in my body stood up I closed my eyes and I just what I saw was this It's very difficult to describe, but it's kind of like this huge rush of color and emotion. And my eyes started pouring tears, I mean pouring, but not of sorrow. It was like a release of emotion.

And I started speaking this language. It's a very, very ancient dialect. And the Sasquatch speak these languages. It's all about intent, okay? It's like, here's an example, through study, the body chakras. Are you familiar with the body chakras? I mean just in people referring to them. Okay, so their energy, like your body has your physical body.

Then the nervous system, which houses your biomagnetic bio-energies, which are electrical impulses, which make your muscles twitch, your heart move and breathe and that type of thing. So each of the, there are areas within your body that have a function, they're a mechanism. So there's seven of them, the seven main chakras, the top one is your crown chakra, and that's kind of like your antenna. And then what's referred to as the third eye, which is your pineal gland. The pineal gland is your spiritual vision where you would receive

higher awareness and information and things like that or if you got you had a vision you know like like if god gave you a vision that's where you would receive it um your throat chakra is your ability to receive and and express your your spiritual intent so if you like when you when you love someone, that's where that is transmitted to them and they sense it within their body. Then your heart chakra, which is your truth, that's your gut instinct, your ability to discern falsity or truth, your solar plexes, that's your power center. So like you see the little old martial arts guy put his hand through stone, that's where he's getting his energy from then behind your belly button is your sacral chakra and that's your

creativity and then it drops down to your your root chakra which grounds you to the earth and that's that's your well grounding um anyway so each of these chakras has a sound like your your throat would be a ha and it has a series of frequencies so getting back to the language these languages have these frequencies of all the body chakras embedded in them. So that's what makes it a empathic language as opposed to a spoken word language. What it did for me is it's kind of like a tool which helps me magnify my intent. So if my intent is to help somebody heal, for instance, if somebody is having tremendous emotional and my intent is to aid them the best I can,

I will use the dialect. People refer to it as, that means the Pentecostals, you know, they refer to it as, you know, the Holy Spirit speaking through them. Other people refer to it as light language. I mean, but really what it is is it's a ancient tool that. that is already installed in the software of people. And if anybody can, I used to do groups to help people unlock their speech years ago.

The reason that I'm speaking on that subject is I've used that to make contact. With Sasquatch? With Sasquatch, the Sasquatch. I call them the Sasquatch people. I don't, well, I mean, they have names. you know they have they they they're they have cultures they have complete societies no pun intended of their own and they are they are people and they are guardians of the earth and they're

guardians of the forest and i mean you go back into the first nations people and they you know they they will tell you that the hairy man is the guardian of the forest You know, it's very, very interesting, but I've been fascinated with them to the point where that's what brought me to Washington. I mean, I mean, that, and also I've had a lot of UFO experiences throughout my life, and some of them are related, some are not. my first UFO I saw I was riding home from kindergarten in Williamstown at 1130 on a Sunday or a sunny afternoon and driving up Main Street going towards the Williams Inn I looked up and I saw

a polished metallic triangular craft traveling along and it felt like there was some kind of a exchange and maybe that was telepathy then and I looked around the bus and none of the other kids saw it and I looked at it again and that was one of the one of the times I did tell my mother and oh what an imagination oh you just got a great imagination you stop making up stories that right there there are so many so many UFO sightings in the berkshires if you really look into it over the years there's a a famous I've been believe the newer unsolved mysteries went into it that was not the north i think that was more great barrington yeah around great barrington yeah yeah i'm familiar with i'm familiar with

that whole i studied all this stuff jeremiah like um and but really what i've learned about them and like i didn't have the interactions with them to the level of the level of I was I really felt I wanted to in Massachusetts and I mean I spent a lot of time in the Rockies I've lived there for a few years and I've actually been to Colorado several times and and I heard people talking about having experiences in the Rockies but I never had any and I did a lot of hiking and then going to Washington that was a completely different story. Before we get to Washington, this is such a weird question I need to ask you. Have you ever walked through Hoosick Tunnel?

I have. I wrote my motorcycle through it one time. How did that go for you? It's a dark, creepy. Okay, so my views on that is there's a reason why it's haunted and it's not just because, it's not just because of, it's not just because of people that were killed there it was because a lot of people yeah that area up there is there were places in the earth that hold dark energy

and that area up there has spots and I believe there's vortex energy vortexes and or portals all over place and I mean there was one day there was a lot of Satanist up there in the 70s when I was you know and I think that that welcomes that that type of thing and I think that they're drawn

that the people that you want to want something to do with the dark they're drawn to these dark places and who's a tunnel though yeah you can go stand at either side of it and it's like okay Yeah, and I don't know at time of recording or listening if that's legal to do anymore.

So do your own diligence before you go over there. You're not allowed to go through it. Okay, yeah, you're not allowed to do it. Okay. This is like back when I was, my goodness, I was like, this is like 30, 20 years ago. So this is way before that, right? And so my father and I and my sister, we would go. walking and we would walk

all the way to the middle of it and dude it gets dark and weird in there and it's an important place for us because one of my relatives was one of the guys who was involved with the building of that tunnel and he was like one of the guys that

was able to use nitro glycerin without blowing himself up it was a really down to which is incredible history but it's such an interesting place that in Roe is so weird Rose away. My sister used to live there and I there's another area that's yeah. Yeah, it's yeah, there's some stuff. There's some stuff. Yeah. You get it. Maybe this will come into the

next part of our conversation. Have you ever, I got this weird thing one day where I was, sometimes I researched certain areas. Have you ever seen a connection between areas of the U.S. that have large meditation centers and big foot sightings? Yes. Okay, so you've seen that too? Absolutely. Okay, I don't know what's going on there, but like it's something I just made the connection to one day and I was like, oh, that's really weird.

Okay, so it's intent, right? It boils down to intense. And like most of the people that are seeking out a meditation center, right? What are they seeking? Peace. They're seeking answers to questions they can't find anywhere else, right? I mean, here's an example. You created Bigfoot Society.

True. I have a pretty good idea why you did it. You're seeking answers to questions that you've had within yourself that may have alluded you or you're trying to make sense of something. that for the most part isn't, you know, as far as mainstream society is concerned, doesn't exist. Yeah. It's BS. It's BS. It's not BS.

They're very, very real. I went to a place called the East SETI Ranch. Oh, yeah, up in Mount Adams. Child Lake, Washington. Yep, Charlotte Lake, right. Now, it was, back in the day, it was much. busier than it is now um and the land up there the mountain the whole mount adams area is is alive i mean there's there's so much going on up there um a lot of bigfoot activity but not only that it's a

UFO hotspot and i mean i could not tell you how many craft i saw up there but i saw a lot of them in williamstown and new england and a lot of you know i didn't realize that how much of a hot spot that that area you know western mass southern vermah and eastern New York I didn't realize that until I really started getting into it and of course they had the the big Hudson Valley flap and everything like that but during those times when when that was happening people were also seeing Bigfoot a lot so there was a correlation between and I I I equate it to this. Energy is like the ocean.

It changes in frequency. It'll wave in and a wave out. There'll be times like where we'd be up at, you know, by Mount Adams and you could just, I mean, every, you turn, turn your head and just all sudden, every hair and your body stands up and it's just, everything's electric and wow, and you can feel it. And then other days, nothing. Dead. Dead's like, what, totally flat. I don't feel anything at all. And it's so it's it's the nature of the planetary consciousness, right?

So we know through scientific study that trees communicate with other trees miles and miles away, some some through pheromones, some through root systems and everything like that. And we know through Nikola Tesla that electricity can be transmitted through the ground for miles, and that's the whole system, right? but it's also it transmits emotion thought and everything else so i think that when these people come into a an area that happens to be a highly energetic area because they build these meditation centers in hot spots specifically i mean look at the geiza patel for instance they knew what they were doing the ancients knew exactly what they were doing and why that thing

built where it was and and how why it's aligned exactly the way it is well when you get up into an area like mount adams and you look at the ukama uh first nations and their their stories about what goes on they have they have stories of a crystal city being beneath mount adams and really there are areas yeah and there are areas up there that you're not allowed to go where if you Google Earth I don't think you can do it now but I've actually seen pictures which look like statues of Buddha outside these caves on Mount Adams. I mean very worn down of course ancient but that's what they look like I can't prove it pretty interesting. That's that's really interesting so you went to the

East Seity Ranch and did you have some some pretty intense encounters or any encounters of any kind happened there? I lived there for eight months. I have a background in in live music production and lighting and I was a pro drummer for years and I was young and so I ran the conference center and I worked with a lot of these, you know, I use the term experts, I use that loosely, but I met a tremendous amount of high-profile personalities within the spiritual slash UFO slash Bigfoot communities. We had one of the Bigfoot organizations up there.

I can't remember who they were. I was actually on Clive Lewis's Crown Zero Radio one time speaking about those language, dialect. But yes, to answer your question, number one, when you go up there, there's this a big field. It's called a Field of Dreams and they do skywatches out there. And there are days where you can see tremendous amounts of craft flying over. Now, I'm not saying they come down and you can see that they're softer shaped or anything like that. There are lights in the sky, but they do power up and power down.

And sometimes there's a lot of them. Sometimes there's none of them. There was one time in particular. And I think this was a turning point in opening myself was there was a night where we had about 140 people up there. and I don't know if you know who Lark and O'Toole is Peter O'Toole's son he's a filmmaker he was an actor he was making a film um on consciousness and spiritualism and uh him and I were working together I helped him get a lot of B-roll and things like that and uh that night he had he had his camera rigs out and we had probably 60 70 craft come over and it it actually felt like

it felt like we were in close encounters. I mean, ships would come in from three different directions and stop and form a triangle, and then it would rotate a little bit, and then they would come in a little more and form a smaller one, and then they would part and go in different directions. I remember Lorcan looking through his lens finder, and he's filming, as Lorcan took, go to the right, look to the right, and he, no, I got this, and I took his head, and I turned him, and then he got five craft in one. frame from that point on i mean i'd seen some stuff and a lot of people had had a lot of experiences

they shared but from that night on that was early early when i was there i'd probably only been there maybe three weeks and that's when i started um getting interactions with the Sasquatch people up there and there's a young male that I mean Clyde Clyde Lewis saw him and he was telling me about like when he asked me to come on the show he was telling me about his experience and it wasn't much longer after that that I actually saw him as well and they through their telepathy and and interactions they discovered his name is they call him the lackey and but there's a whole group of them up there um there's young ones there's there's one that is white that people have seen i've

never seen him and uh i mean barry littleton um did a a segment on his youtube channel about elder they call him elder and i felt elder's energy before and he's it's intense like every hair and your body stands up. I think that that's something that a lot of people don't, they either don't mention it for some reason or they don't sense it, but they generate an energy that you can feel, and it's powerful.

It can, and I'm not talking about infrasound either. I mean, they absolutely can use that as well. if they feel threatened or your intent is not good or dark or you want to go out and shoot one of them they're going to do some things that will make you never go back there but if you go out there with the intent of understanding and respecting them and they they deserve the respect their they're incredible beings um they'll tell you and that was like clive was at tell me about that and that time i was probably about late morning and when we went up there like there's a whole crew of people that actually volunteer to run the ranch uh throughout the year i mean

i was actually a paid employee at the time but um we camped in this area which is called uh the back 40 and it's an area across this stream that is basically it's it's private for any of the employees and and the owner himself but the the guests aren't don't aren't really supposed to go there it's a place where you can because you have so many people going up there all the time you need to be able to escape and go and sleep and so I had a big 12-man tent and I had a heater in it and beautiful bed and furniture I mean that was some of the best living I've ever had and I was was looking out one of the windows and I'm seeing across this one field and I'm like wait a minute I'm seeing movement and I see this orange brownish shape and I immediately go outside and that that was probably

maybe 150 yards away and I see this probably from the waist up standing behind bushes his Sasquatch, orange, just brown. His face was dark. I couldn't see any of his features. And he turned, and you could see his arms, really long, you know, stereotypical description. And I saw his upper body turned about three quarters of the way. I saw like one, two, three steps gone.

Just, I don't know why. And I went out there. and the tree that he was under had to be 12 feet and he was most of the way to it. And I believe that that was Dalaki. He seemed to interact better when I called him Dolokai because I threw to dialect. That's how his name is spoken. And I was like, and I can remember saying, him. said, am I seeing this?

Am I really seeing this? And I kept saying that out loud. And I kept getting these chills like this energy blasted, yeah, you're seeing it all right. And then probably a week later, I would go exploring on that ranch. I wanted to know every last little square inch of that place because it's just the way I am. I want to know everything. And I haven't stopped feeling that way, even that 61 years old. I still have all that wonder of a child.

I want to know it all still. And I was in the back 40, and it was dusk, and it was getting very, very close to being dark. And I suddenly felt a presence like I was being watched. And I looked over to my right, and maybe, this wasn't very far away, but it was really getting dark, difficult to see 50, maybe 60 yards away. I see a very dark black shape.

And I couldn't tell if it was a Sasquatch, but it felt like the energy kind of felt like it was, but I couldn't really tell. And I turned around for a second because I heard a little noise. I looked back and it was gone. Completely gone. I was like, okay.

And, okay, that was clearly one of them. So if they want you to see them, you're going to see them. If they don't want you to see them, I mean, you're not going to. Right. That's wild. So when you're saying, you know, like people are having or seeing Sasquatch on that ranch,

like they are having actual visual sightings like yourself, those were visual sightings that you had there. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Wow. And how often would you hear people talking? I mean, being there for eight months, you probably heard some stories where it was like, hey I totally saw a Sasquatch

last night in the back field or wherever well you talk about when you're in a small community where everybody is in tuned to higher consciousness and

there's no non-believers there right so people are having experiences with all kinds of different things I mean not just Sasquot There are other beings that show themselves. And they're just God's creatures too. It's not evil and it's not sacrilege and it's now are there dark entities?

Yeah, there are. But if you're in alignment energetically, which means what your intent is, what you, what, you know, if you, like I said, if you went out with a show, shotgun, you go, I'm going to shoot a big foot. You're never going to see them. As a matter of fact, you know, they're going to make sure you're out of there. And, you know, you've done shows when people told you about how scared and terrified they were. I watched some of your shows on that. But I've never felt that. Like the closest I came on that. And I've actually, let me tell you about this other one first. One night I was bringing, I brought Lork into the,

to the airport in Portland and I came back and I was one of the very few people on the ranch at that time. Normally there's crew of maybe 12, 15 people there. There's a bunch of, there's a compound of buildings and anyway, it was really, really, it was an overcast night and it was extremely windy. It wasn't raining, but you couldn't see the moon. And it was really, really loud up there. And I drove back and it was probably maybe 9 o'clock, maybe something like that between eight and nine. And I drove back and I got out and I was like, well, I just don't feel like, I just don't

feel like going to bed right yet. And I walked out to the field of dreams. And there's a stone medicine wheel out there, which I actually did a lot of work. And I did so much work at that place. But I would go out there. I would look at certain things and like to look at the upkeep of the of the facility and just try and make it nicer for people and I kind of went into a walking meditation. I was just like it was very spontaneous and as I'm going through there I'm starting to feel okay I'm not alone out here as a

matter of fact there seems to be a lot of law out here and I walked out to the far left side of of the field of dreams and there's like a little path that goes all the way around the outside of it and there's a fence there from the other property and just as I get into this one little clump I hear really loud wood knock bang bang right next thing made me jump I was like that's got to be the loki and you know it's just and then I would hear something over to the right and then I would hear you know you could hear in a little footprints or two footfalls and something stuff like that but I could never see anything like you know are you guys are messing with me and I got out and I got this feeling and that was some of this

telepathy that you know hey we're out here you want us to come out and I was like guys I got to be honest with you you guys are so big and you know I was feeling very very small now I'm a pretty solid guy I was a got in the mixed martial arts and I was fitness trainer and weightlifter and I mean a pretty solid guy and I still felt like I was a child um and I was like I don't think that I go if you guys all come out at once it's going to scare me I don't think I'm ready for that I got to be honest and this is the like the it's like an inner dialogue but it's interactive and I I turns walk and all of a sudden I heard three really loud footprints come, like boom, boom, boom, right up next to me and I turn it, nothing

there. You know, just, I'm like, you know, and then you could sense they're all like snickering and they have a sense of humor. They were totally messing with me and they thought it was absolutely hilarious. Well, I was like, okay, guys, don't do that again because my heart was, it was coming out my chest and I continued down and there was a couple other really incredible things that happened to me that I can't or I can talk about if you want me to but anyway I walked around the I got towards the other end of that field and there's a area where the pines are kind of thick and I could hear a whole

bunch of you know four or five of the young ones in there and they were starting a wood knock and then the lock he was far off down the other side and he started wood knocking really really loud again and then you could hear footballs all around and every time I turn there'd be nothing there and these footballs were getting close and the energy they put off from you is it it's absolutely exhausting because they overload your nervous system and so I got to the edge of the field and I was walking across the road and there's a little path that goes down across the small little a stream goes up to where my tent was. And I was at that point, I was just like, I couldn't be scared if I had to.

I was just, I was completely drained. There was nothing left. And I walked back through there and I could hear him or whatever. And I think they sense that, okay, he's done. And they kind of let up on me. And I walked across the stream and I got to the tent. And just as I was entering the tent, I could hear, Delaki was down by the stream. And I could hear him calling my name.

It was like, you know what? like an inhale and he did it like three or four times really really low and I was just I remember trying to wrap my whole mind around what had just happened and there's this denial that happens because it's so surreal it doesn't feel like it's actually occurring because it makes so much of everything that you've been told throughout your whole life not make any sense And so I got back to the to the tent and I laid down and where my head was was just my bed was all the way to one side because I used to do my exercises and stuff. I had this like open area inside where I had my weights and stuff. And so I was laying down and the tent all of a sudden just very gently I could feel on the top of my head just touching me, touching me, you know.

And like, hey, hey, hey, you know, no sound. but one of them was touching. I said, would you guys just let me sleep? And stopped right there totally and just, and I woke up next morning. I must have just fallen asleep instantly right then. And I woke up the next morning, still trying to wrap my brain around that. That is, and that's something you hear so often talking to witnesses, and then all of a sudden I went to sleep, you know, for some reason.

It's wild. Are there accounts in that area of people having sightings and they watch the Sasquatch like disappear or fade into something else like a tree or anything like that? I can't say of anything specific. I heard people talking about that. I don't know of anybody who told me directly. You know, secondhand information, yeah, absolutely. But I can't verify that.

you know they do talk i think that um everybody's experience is tailor-made for them i think it's it's like they they know if you want if you want contact like like like a lady that i knew quite well she used to go up there and she used to uh when she used to live in um in um um um um um um um um um um um um um oh what's that town right on the river there um it's right across from portland oh vancouver she used to come up from vancouver so it was about an hour 25 to get up there from vancouver so she was she she was sleep in the back of her her uh her explorer and bob you know she had a cot and everything and one night they were moving her moving her

explorer. They were shaking a car shaking her truck. And she was just like, oh, she goes, I'm not ready. I'm not ready. And they stopped. Right. And I was like, towards the end of the season, on that

back 40, there is a yurt. And it's a wooden yurt. So it's a six-sided hexagonal cabin. And it has a little port. on it and it has the porch it's a doorway regular home doorway and then on one side is is a regular window house window with a single pane on the other side

there's a small window that is like one of the walls away from where the door is and it's like a half like one of those short pained windows and that's like that is like that is a double pane insulated windows i think when they built it they took whatever they could find but it's raised up off the ground so it's uh it's easy to heat and then has a little gas heater and everything in there so at the end of the season i took that one it started to get cold and the the season had ended and we were there just maintaining the place and i think there was only maybe three people left on on the ranch at all and this was the time that I have to say I was the most scared I've ever been in my life was that

your is probably about maybe an eighth of a mile from the main house and it's um if you've ever been up there you're you're pretty close to the Canadian border so when there's no moon it's absolutely pitch black and there's no there's no light pollution whatsoever I mean you can't see if you hold your hand a foot in front of your face you can't see it so you got to have flashlights and everything and I was just getting ready to fall asleep and at the top of the window on the right side by the door which is eight or nine feet I heard this very gentle bump bump and I it startled me I'm like you know wait a minute that's that's really really high up

there and then again bum bum bump and then right after that I I heard from the porch, like a tick, tick. And then I went, one, two, three. One, two. One, two, three. One, two. And there were two of them out there. I think, I felt that it was a female that was up.

It might have been that black one I saw. I don't know. And there was a young one. And they did that for 45 minutes. And I can remember. And I did not have the courage to, open the door and look out there. I had a flashlight in my hand and I was just a it was a theme and I was frozen and I lay down and it was like it was like when you're a little kid and

you're scared and you're laying there and you're trying to make your breath as as as quiet as possible that's that's exactly what I did I felt like I was terrified and I didn't feel like they wanted to harm me. Never did I feel that but the energy that they just when they put their intent towards you you know and and i am a high sensitive so it's magnified and it's just like i i did not have the courage to open that door and look out there and i know because i had an alarm clock a little battery alarm clock and i know it was at least 45 minutes that they did that very very gentle tick um bum bum tick and in the morning i went out there when it was light to look for footprints

and there was nothing there nothing and there was a an eight-foot sheet of plywood that was leaning against the back of the uh of the um the yurt and i stood it up to for a reference and it was probably a foot higher than the sheet of plywood where they were tapping on the window. And I couldn't get up there in any way. I had no ladder or anything, so I couldn't get up there to see if any, I could see any fingerprints or anything. But that time right there, I've never spoken to that, you know, publicly. I told a couple people that had experienced, but that was, that was energetically the

most intense experience I've ever had in a life. It sounds like a wild, wild place. come up on the show just a little bit so when I got connected to you I was like oh this is this is great if you want to see

a a Sasquatch you need to have pure intent you need to understand and respect that they are a very ancient race of beings that lived a very very very long time

and they have abilities yes they can cloak yes they can teleport. Yes, they're highly telepathic. But they can be very, very kind. They can, they, they, they want humanity to rise above what the base level of consciousness is. It shouldn't be just, you know, get slavery and up, you know, have more, more material objects than your neighbor and, and everything's about money and it's not about that it's about kindness it's about caring for others it's about unity and understanding that somebody's worth doesn't come down to how many how many zeros and

what the decimal point they have it comes down to what is their true intent in life are you know God gave them this amazing existence in this amazing life. You know, don't you want to do something and honor the fact that the Lord gave you that? That's how I feel about it. It really is a fascinating journey that you had starting out in Massachusetts and then really going for it by going out to Washington and experiencing that in the way that you did. But I think it really does come down to intention. As you said, I mean, that's something I've learned over the last few years.

Figure out what your intention is. Ask the questions of the people you're going out with. What is their intention? Make sure you're going out with the right people. But it's just a, John, is a fascinating conversation. Thank you. Thank you so much for coming on the show and for sharing what you've learned, what your experiences are. Are there ways that people can reach out to you?

You said you've got a show coming out as well. And even a book, is there ways people can keep up to date with that? Well, they can contact me. on Facebook it's John Michael Bertoli. I'm going to post when the show is released. I'll post all the links there. The book is probably going to be a little wild. I've never written a book before in my life,

and it's extensive. It goes back from when I was like four years old and talks about tremendous amounts of, experiences that I've had and and I mean there's a there's a lot of stuff I mean I know my UFO abduction and everything I mean it's it's it's yeah it's it's quite in depth but um there'll be a there'll be shows like that things about that on my my YouTube as well but when I release that but that's the best way to get in touch with me is and you know I just ask for people to be respectful and

and if they don't resonate. You know, my thing is this, right? Is if something resonates with you, great, take it. And if something doesn't, just leave it alone. Just, you know, leave it by the side and let it pass. And that applies to whatever stories or whatever is out there. Even, even, you know, on the news or whatever, if it doesn't resonate, you know, no need to attack somebody.

Absolutely. Right. Adults can have conversations with individuals. They may not necessarily. If somebody is interested in contacting me legitimately, yeah, send me a message and I'd be happy to speak with them. Because I think it's time that we really come to a point of we really need to be more united in this world. There's so much going on, so much being exposed and so much that has been kept from humanity. Now is the time. It really is, I've seen so much change in just the last two years alone, but this year is like accelerating. So it's very, very interesting.

But, you know, I want to thank you, Jeremiah. You've done an amazing job with your show. And it's very interesting listening to your podcast as well because you're not just keeping it in that one lane of sauce squash and bigfoot because I think that you, you, you, you come to the understanding that there are other very closely related subjects. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yes. And I think that more and more people are feeling more comfortable about sharing their experiences. And so I guess my message to anyone who might be apprehensive about sharing their experiences,

I think that you should contact Jeremiah and speak with him because he's a good guy. and he's very authentic and I appreciate you letting me come on here and sharing my experiences as well. Thank you, sir. Appreciate that. Thank you so much, John Bertoli, for coming on on the show. And we'll definitely be keeping up to date with what you're getting into next. But thank you so much, John. Thank you.
