You're listening to Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. Tonight's account comes from a mom who thought a midweek camp out at Lake 10 killer in Oklahoma would be the perfect escape.

But she was about to find out that that was not the case, that the forest would be coming alive in ways that she neither expected or wanted. This is a story of Presley, a mother who had to dial 911. this episode will go over why she had to do that. So stay with us. All right, Bigfoot Society. You've got the privilege of talking to Presley today. Presley is an individual I got connected to over on the TikTok platform. And she's on the program today to share about an encounter that happened in the state of Oklahoma.

Her and her kids are present, I believe, for that. So Presley, how's it going today? Hey, good. How are you? doing great doing great i'm excited to have you on the the show today get some really interesting connections uh over there on tic talk and uh this takes place down in oklahoma which definitely has some great stories come out of there but you know you're welcome to take us back to uh what was going on uh when you had this encounter uh where you were uh feel free to to take us back to that point

in time. Okay. So we were, it was my daughters and I, and we were camping at Lake Timbiller State Park, which is near the dam area of the lake. And we weren't strangers to this lake. I actually grew up on at this lake, but it is about like two hours where we live. So we go out there, we go camping from time to time. But we've never stayed like in this part of the lake, the state park part. So that was new to us. And it was recommended from a fridge. that we know to go out there and stay. So I homeschool my children and I work from home, so we have the privilege of packing up midweek and going out there and camping, and that's what we did. And this was April 9th when it happened. And we got out there at about 10 a.m. And April 9th,

I don't really feel like it's like camping season for a lot of people in Oklahoma during that time of year. And we were the only campers in the entire state park that we had seen. We drove around. We walked around. And there was nobody there besides, like, the state park employees and us. So that was kind of crazy. But it was really cool, actually, because we got to do the trails by ourselves. And we just had the whole place to ourselves and we walked around. But when we got there, we got there at, like, I'd say, 10, 10.30 a.m. And we set up our tent.

We set up camp and all that. And we like to paint rocks. Like, we're in a little rock painting group. So we painted some rocks and we went fishing and we went hiking the trails. And nothing weird. like was happening during this time. But when we came back from walking the trails, we went down and we went fishing for probably like an hour or so.

And then we went back up to camp after and we started a fire. And that would have been around like probably like 5 p.m. But we started the fire and that's when I started hearing things. But I also want to say I never believed in Bigfoot until this happened. And I wasn't even a Bigfoot believer like during this event. It wasn't until like the day after when I started. like thinking about the story and stuff and then I came across a bigfoot thing on TikTok and it kind of matched my story and so that's kind of why I feel like it was probably a big foot. There's

no other explanation you'll you'll see. But so anyways, we started the fire and we started to hear like sticks break and like these little like whistles and stuff. But it was weird like where our tent was set up, we were kind of surrounded by the lake but on the and I think you the So you can see what I'm talking about. But like on the right side, there was a forest area in trails and stuff. And that's where we had went exploring through that day. So everything was pretty much clear around us. No one was around us.

But this forest side where the trails were is like where we started hearing of a lot of stuff go on. But the whistles and the sticks breaking, like it was like it was catching our attention because it was like really noticeable. It kept happening. It was catching our attention. But I didn't really think nothing of it. Like it's the woods over there. You know, it could be anything really. So, but as the sun, like, started going down, it started the whistles.

Sounded like they were getting closer and the sticks breaking were, like, getting really closer. So anyways, we still weren't paying it much mind. I do want to mention that earlier that day, we had ordered Uber out to the lake, out to our campsite. And the Uber driver, like, had a hard time finding our campsite and stuff. And he was kind of, like, angry, I guess, that he couldn't find the campsite. And he was like, he was kind of really intimidating.

I was just really mad about the whole drop in the food off situation. And so that encounter kind of had me kind of nervous. So after we had our fire going and stuff and we put it out, when we went in to camp for the night, I decided that since we were the only ones in the park and there was no one else around, I was going to like put out the fire and make our camp roll dark because I didn't want anyone to be able to see our campsite, just me and my daughter's camping. So when all this happened, I was thinking that these noises were maybe from like this Uber guy coming back or,

okay, I'm getting ahead of myself. So let me slow down. Okay, so we put the fire out. And then we got into the tent and two, my daughters are pretty young. So the two youngest ones, they were already in the tent asleep about 7, 7.30 p.m. And my oldest daughter and I were cleaning up the camp, putting out the fire, you know, getting everything situated so we could get inside. and as soon as we got inside the tent and turned the lights off, that's when we started hearing stuff.

Now, earlier when I had mentioned, we were painting rocks, we were painting the rocks and then we hid them along the trail. So when we got in the camp, like I said, we were the only ones in the campsite, and this part of Oklahoma is straight river rocks. So like if someone were walking around your campsite, you would hear everything. Those river rocks, they make a lot of noise when they're being walked on. So you can hear everything. Well, I wasn't hearing like anyone walk around our campsite or anything like that, but there were rocks being thrown at our tent and like around our tent. And I'm like, so we're in the tent.

It's pitch black outside. Two of my daughters are sleeping. One of my daughters is on her tablet playing Roblox. And I'm sitting on there on my phone playing. But I hear like these rocks that are being thrown. And I'm like, I'm asking my oldest daughter. I'm like, do you hear that? And she's like, yeah, I hear that.

And I'm like, that's weird. Like we're the only ones in the campsite. What is that? And so we kind of like just try to let it go, didn't really pay it any mind. And after I did hear those rocks, I got up and I kind of cracked the tent windows a little bit so I could like peek out and see if I could see anything out there. And it was pitch black, but the moonlight had it pretty lit up. So you could see.

Well, I had the tent windows cracked and I was peeking out there and I didn't see anything. There was a stray cat out there like eating off the ground and stuff. girls had thrown like some leftover hot dog out there and so the stray cat was out there eating um but i knew that you know that wasn't the throwing rock noise i didn't know what the throwing rock noise was um but anyways i just kind of like zipped up the tent windows a little bit more and sat back down well probably five or ten more minutes went by and we heard something outside the tent so you know when you stake a tent in the ground like you you know you hammer the stakes in there well it being river rock I couldn't get the stakes all the way in the ground.

So they were kind of like sticking up out of the ground. And I had put bigger rocks over them. So like no one would trip over the stakes. Well, one of those rocks I could hear like on the corner, it had got knocked over. And so immediately my heart dropped. I'm like, there's something outside this tent. Like I do not know what is outside this tent. Like I'm freaking out.

But maybe it's a raccoon. You know, that's like where my head is at. But also at the same time, I'm like, what if that Uber driver, like me being a paranoid single mom out there? I'm like, what if that Uber driver came back and it's him? Like I was freaking out. I didn't know what was going on. So I'm sitting there and I'm just kind of listening to these noises.

Well, then, so I heard that rock fall over and that was like towards the front of the tent. Well, then it got quiet for just a few seconds. And then I heard like a brushing on the other side of the tent. Like something brushed up on the other side of the tent. And it was, it was tall enough to where I knew like that's not a raccoon. Like raccoon. Like, I don't know what that is out there. But at this point, I'm like trying to.

not to freak out in front of my daughter, but internally I'm like freaking out. I don't know what's going on. So I sat there for a few more minutes and after that, after I heard the brushing, I got like, I got so scared. I got up and I looked out of the tent windows again. And I'm probably looking out of the tent windows for like 10 or 15 minutes and I hear nothing. I see nothing. I'm like so confused. I don't know what's going on. Um, so then I'm like, okay, you know what? It's been a long day. Like we've been out all day. I just need to lay down and go to sleep. I don't know what that is. I'm freaking myself out. So I'm sitting there and like I said, I worked from home. So I'm checking some emails before I go to bed and I'm leaned up against the tent. So like if you were to be on the

outside of the tent looking like you could see probably it bulged out and you leaning on it, you know. So I'm like leaning on the side of this tent checking emails before I go to bed and all of a sudden the loudest like there's no explanation for like what this could have been. The loudest bang. Like if you were to pick up a car and slam it on the ground, I know that sounds so dramatic, but that's the best I can explain it. Like the loudest bang, and it was followed by like the impact of rocks being thrown up at the tent. Well, the rocks hit my back and also where my youngest was sleeping along the tent wall, it woke her up out of her sleep because the rocks hit her in the head. And it was, like, these rocks hurt. It was, whatever that impact was so powerful.

and immediately like now I'm freaking out like my heart's racing I don't know what to do immediately I grabbed the phone and I call 911 because I know this is dramatic but I'm like oh my god what if that Uber guy came back and he's like shooting at us like is it a gunshot like if you were to shoot a pistol off next to your ear like that's probably how loud it was but I grew up around guns and I knew I'm like that wasn't like that couldn't have been a gun shot unless like it's just nothing made sense I'm like what was that and I've told people about it and they were like well maybe it was a tree branch that fell And I'm like, no, like, for one, there wasn't even a tree. There was a tree at the camp, but not by her tent right there. Like, there's no explanation for what this loud of impact was. And also the force behind those rocks being thrown. Like, it hurts. So immediately, I call 911 and I'm like, I didn't know what to tell him. I'm like, hi, I think someone's shooting at my tent. Like, I'm not sure what's going on. Can you send an officer out here? I just want to pack up and leave. Like, I just, I need it lit up. Like, I want an officer out here while I pack up and leave, please. And so, they're like, yeah. And, you know, ask, me questions. I was on the phone with the lady and she was like, do you want me to stay on the phone with you until the deputies get there? And I was like, yes, please. And so I had her on the phone the whole time and I'm like, I'm going to look out of the windows like while we're waiting on him. And so I'm looking out of the windows after that, like freaked out and I'm still not seeing anything. And at this point, I'm like, I'm mad, I'm scared. I'm confused. Like I have no clue what that was, what's going on. It's just us out here. And that's when the deputy or the dispatch lady on the phone, she goes,

well I was going to see if one of the park rangers were there, but they all left at five. And I was like, oh my God. I'm still like we're literally the only ones in the state park right now. And so that really just totally scared me. And it's a really rural area, you know, so like probably 15 or 20 minutes later, the deputies show up. And by this time, probably about five minutes before the deputies show up, I got out of the tent and I just, I turned on every lantern I had.

I turned on my car alarm. So whatever was out there, like whoever was out there, like whoever was. out there. I came out with an entrance out of that tent. You know, like I lit everything up. I set off the car alarm and I didn't see anything. And I went back to the spot to where the impact was and there was nothing there, like nothing there. So I packed up my stuff and the kids as quick as we could and we got out of there. And we got home, you know, late that night and that next day and I'm sitting there like that next day and I'm thinking about it and I'm scrolling on TikTok. And I run across this post that's these girls that were having rocks thrown at them like as they were walking down a hiking trail.

And I'm like, wait, we were having rocks thrown at us, you know, like. And so then I started, you know, I clicked the little thing on TikTok that says Bigfoot out the bottom, the little search thing. And it started, I ran across this post from this girl that was like things that entice Bigfoot. And it's things like fishing and starting fires. And I also read, I'm Cherokee and Choctaw Citizen. So I know the stories like of our tribal war and stuff of Bigfoot, but I never really thought anything of it.

But, you know, like there was talks from the Choctaw tribe about how they liked women and children. And I'm like, oh my God, it was just me and my children out there camping. So all these things started to like kind of come about. And I'm like, what if that was like a Bigfoot experience? Like there's no that impact. And plus the sticks breaking, the whistling. And we did on and off throughout the whole day. extremely windy that day. We kept getting like nasty smells and my daughters were like blaming each other and stuff, but I seen that's like a bigfoot thing like Bigfoot stinks, I guess. So anyways, all these little clues I started reading about just kind of went with my story really well. And I don't know, I don't know, but I just wanted to share that because that was intense. And I still, there's no explanation for what that impact was. I've thought about it every day since, you know. Wow, Presley, that is such a intense,

But still at the same time, you've got to think about stuff like that. Yeah, totally. And also, too, like, there was no, like, there was no explanation.

I know it wasn't a gunshot, but it was like as loud as one, if not louder. And then the rock impact, I just don't know. So did you end up leaving before the deputies got there then? No. They actually stayed there while we got all packed up and stuff. I was already a little bit packed up when they rolled up. When I got out of the tent and lit everything up, I had to immediately start throwing stuff in the trunk. So when they pulled up, we were pretty much almost packed.

And they stayed there why I took the tent down and stuff. And they were asking me, you know, they were like, did you see anything? Did you hear anything? And I'm like, I'm trying not to sound crazy because I know we're the only ones in this park, but I'm like, no. Like, that's the thing that's killing me. It's like I did not see anything. Like, yes, we heard things, but I did not see anything.

And I have no explanation. And that drives me nuts, you know? Like, what was it? Excuse me. The way they were reacting, was it like they were, how are they reacting the whole time? Were they kind of like, oh, this again? Or like, oh, another Bigfoot thing. No.

So that's the crazy thing, too, is after I kind of started thinking, maybe this could have been a big foot, it took me back to one of the officers' faces because, so there was an older officer and there was a younger officer. And they were actually highway patrols. I guess that's who patrols that area. I don't know. They were highway patrols. But the younger one, like he kind of went off with his flashlight and was looking around camp,

but the older one, like when I was telling him, which I didn't give us, obviously, much of detail as I'm giving now, I was panicked. But the information I was giving him, like, he kept looking off in the woods and stuff. and he didn't leave he just kind of kept like you could tell he was trying to figure out the situation figure me out but he kept looking over like off in the woods and stuff and he didn't have much to say and i wouldn't put it past you like if he actually was thinking maybe bigfoot too now that i know what i know now and remembering like his you know demeanor and stuff he probably thought it was a big foot too but he was definitely interested in you know trying to figure the situation out he's i would guess you know being a individual that's done that for a few years, he's probably heard other stories as well. Yeah.

Can you, not to be weird, but can you describe what the weird smells were like? Would they like anything else that you smelled before? Yeah. My kids were like, ew, who's farting? Who keeps farting? Like it was just a, it was just like a foul, you know, smell like that we kept smelling. and yeah, we didn't know who it was or what it was. We were blaming each other.

So. Gotcha. It was, I will say when the rock that I had leaned up on the stake, when that was kicked over and like during the brushing of the tent part, like you could smell it then. You could smell it pretty strong then. And yeah, that was that. But I didn't, at that time, like, I didn't know anything about Bigfoot. This would have been probably when you were packing. up, but were you able to see the rocks that were thrown at the tent? Were they the same

rocks that you had been painting or totally different ones? So I didn't see, we had looked around camp now. It was nighttime when we were packing up and stuff, but I had ran a flashlight like around the campsite looking for anything. And I didn't see any paintings or anything like that, like any of the painted rocks or anything like that. But that always like, really got me in the story because we did paint rocks and we hit them along those trails, you know, and it was just so weird that at first the rocks were being thrown at our tent. I had that thought too. I'm like, what if those were the rocks that we painted that were being thrown back?

But I didn't see anything like around our campsite that I remember as we were packing up, but I also was out of there as quick as I could be. Absolutely. At any point when you guys were in that park, did things get? extremely quiet or was it kind of normal sounds the whole day? I mean, I don't really remember anything getting like extremely quiet. I do know that this day in particular it was so windy like the wind was being a nuisance. So I know just like we had the wind going all day.

But not that I remember like, no, I don't remember it like getting quiet. None of the stick breakings and the whistling. So none of that started until after we went. fishing and we came up and started the campfire. When we were sitting around the campfire is when we started hearing stuff off in the woods. Would it be possible to try to mimic the type of whistling that you had heard? Let's see. Like a, it would, I mean, I can try to do it. It's going to sound funny. But I guess maybe like two long whistles back to back, like a, like a, not like a cat call whistle, but kind of like that, but drug out, you know, like, woo, who, I guess maybe. Not even

like that. I don't know how to recreate it, but it was, I remember there was one point specifically we were roasted marshmallows and I looked over at my daughter and I'm like, dang, that whistle was really exotic. Like, whatever that whistle was really, we watched birds. So that's why it was registering with me that whistle. I'm like, I wonder what that is. That's a really unique whistle, you know? But again, never thought anything of it. We were making our s'm doing whatever. Never thought anything of it. Interesting. Did you hear any other birds like owls or any animals at any time? No. I mean, maybe like normal birds, you know, that you hear in the woods and stuff. Like there was little chirpings and stuff, but nothing that like stuck out. Okay. So nothing like you hear a bird and you're like,

that was weird because it sounded a little off. Nothing like that. Yeah. Okay. No, just the whistle. The whistle was off and we were like, What kind of brood could that be? But other than that, no, nothing. Gotcha. When you were on your hike, did you notice anything out of the ordinary out in the woods? So we did. And I don't know how out of the ordinary this is, but we brought it home because we thought it was really neat. So like I said, Tim Killer where we're out, like I've been around there my whole life.

I grew up down there. We would find turtle shells all the time everywhere. This turtle shell, though, I have never seen a turtle shell like this before, and I actually have a picture of it. I have it here at my house, and I could send you a picture of it if you want. So when we were walking through this trail, when you leave our tent, like where I have the trail circled in the photo, you go through the trail, and it's kind of dense woods for a little bit, and you cross this little creek. Well, right when you cross this little creek, the trees open up to like this large circle area, like on top of a bluff. And it's just like, not like river rock, but like it's not volcanic rock.

But if you were to look at that, it was like the same. It was just this black top of rock, no trees, nothing. And it's just like this circle area on a bluff. It was kind of weird coming out of the trail, you know, all woodsy. And then it just opens up to this area. And we're like, whoa, that's crazy. Well, it looks like a wash area, like where, you know, when it rains or whatever, things just wash down this area off into the lake is what it looked like.

Well, there was nothing except right in the center, the dead center of this area. There's this white turtle shell. and we were like, you know, still not thinking anything, but we were like, oh, that's cool. How random is that just sitting there? You know, like, why didn't that get washed down with the rest of the stuff? That's crazy. And so we pick it up and we're checking it out and it's just this white turtle shell. But still, the area that it was at, like, it just didn't make sense.

Like, that would have already been washed down if it was just like, like, I feel like it was placed there. And even before knowing anything of Bigfoot, when we walked up on it, I'm like, that's really weird that this is here. You know, how cool girls. Like, we're really lucky to find this white turtlene. shell how cool. And so we took it home and we still have it. But that always struck me as weird. And I don't know if that has anything to do with anything. That is definitely the ordinary. I would say, did you notice any trees that were, I don't know, let's say trees that were, you know, broken or bent in weird angles or anything like that when you're walking around? No, I wouldn't say that I noticed anything like that. Now we now, like it was a natural forest.

So, you know, there was like a tree that was on the ground and stuff, but not anything that I noticed like weird, I guess. Gotcha. After you had, you know, you got home, you brought the turtle shell home, all that good stuff. Did anything at the ordinary start happening at home or just kind of a one-time occurrence at Lake 10 killer? Yeah, nothing weird has happened at my house or anything. It was just that experience, just those few short hours we spent out there. Yeah, it was the craziest thing. And like, I don't know, I've never had a fear come over me to where I'm like, I felt like I was frozen.

Like when I called that cop or 911, like I've never felt fear like that in my life. So that's just something I want to put out there. Like, that was so terrifying. And I feel better about it now, but that whole experience just really shook me. And it still shakes me. Like, it's scary. So, but no, nothing at my house. Oh, absolutely.

I mean, it does really affect you. It makes your heartbeat. Yeah. Uncontrolledably sometimes raises your blood pressure, all this crazy, crazy stuff. But was there also a time where you were not able to move at all or just there is so much fear that you're like, I'm going to, I just have to power through. this. When the rocks hit me, like that impact, like the amount of emotions that came over me, like I can't even explain it. I was frozen for a second. And like I was confused. Like I said, I had, I literally had no clue what that could have been. I was angry because the rocks hurt and

it woke up my daughter. Like it irritated me. I'm like, what the heck is out there doing this? And then just, yeah, I was frozen for a second and like my heart sank. Like I just sat there and I'm like, shaking. I'm like, what do I do? And my daughter, like, looked up from her tablet. She's looking at me. Like, she's terrified. And I'm like, immediately I just picked up my phone and called 911.

Like, yeah, but it froze me for a good few seconds. Was everyone okay after being hit by the rocks, though? Yeah, it just woke my daughter up for a minute. And she, like, grabbed her head and she's like, oh. And I'm like, it's okay, go back to sleep. And she went back to sleep. And yeah. That's good.

That is good. That is good. How has this affected you regarding Bigfoot after or living through this experience? Like I said, at first, I was so terrified. I remember telling the cop I was like, I'm never coming camping again, which is crazy because like I said, I was raised at the lake. I'm a camping girl. We're fishing people.

Like, we are always on nature. So it really shook me up to where I was like, I was like, well, for sure, I'm never going camping with just me and my girls again. we'll have like, you know, my father or Mel with us or something, like we're not ever going camping solo again. But I'm actually not scared now. Like, now that I've read about Bigfoot and I've, you know, TikTok and your podcast and everything have been like a lot of help seeing just my family. They're like, you're crazy. You know, like, you know, my dad was like, there was probably a tree that fell in. And I'm like, no, like, they're not Bigfoot believers. So they, they're like, okay, you know,

and I'm like, no, like, seriously, I'm a Bigfoot believer now. There is something out there. And after reading all the accounts and stuff, and especially finding out, I actually, in my readings, found out that where this event happened, there's actually people say there's like a known big fit out there. And there's other accounts in this area, you know, of stories. So I'm like, okay, I'm not alone. Like, there's other people out there who have had this experience. But if anything, now I'm intrigued. Like, I'm like, okay, that's kind of cool. You know, like, it was scary. And I don't know that I ever want to be face to face with them again. But I believe people's stories now. And, And it's intriguing. It's actually interesting to me. And no, we are not alone on this planet. Like, that's something I am very certain about now. Oh, absolutely. So where did you end up finding more information about this area and Bigfoot encounters?

There was, it was on YouTube, I guess. I just started Googling and YouTubeing Bigfoot encounters, like KinKiller, Oklahoma, and just anything I found on Google, I would click on. But the one story that I remember was this lady who, I guess she had made. this story back in 2012, but she would spend time growing up out there with her grandmother, and it was in the Gore area, and her grandmother was fully aware of this Bigfoot, and she started seeing it when she grew up, and they had a little encounter where the Bigfoot, I guess, beat on the door and, like, bowed the metal door in half. So that was a crazy story. I'm glad nothing like that. Happened to me, that would freak me out. But yeah, so just hearing stories

like that, I'm like, oh, my God, Bigfoot is real. So after hearing something like, that where, you know, that's kind of a very intense encounter as well. How does that then make you feel like you have no fear regarding the situation? I mean, I just don't think, I think it's more of like knowing or reading all these other encounters. Like, that's really what helped me because I'm not fearful now. It is, you know, it has been brought to light. There's so many stories about it. And then I researched the BFRO, the Bigfoot Research Organization, and they have like hundreds of encounters like on their website. And so just reading through those and the ones from Oklahoma and seeing how many reports are made, it just doesn't scare me because I know I'm not the only one, you know. And it does give explanation to what that noise was.

It wasn't a gunshot, even though it sounded like it, it wasn't a tree falling. Like, there was nothing else to explain it. So I feel like it truly was a big foot. And just, yeah, knowing that other people have had this experience in the same region and around there,

I'm not scared anymore, you know. And now I'm not saying that I'm going to do it. out there in camp again, like solo, but I'm not scared, you know, anymore. And if anything were to happen in the future, I feel like, like, I feel like we had warnings. I feel like that Bigfoot, now looking back, I feel like he was trying to warn us with all the sticks breaking and, like, the whistling and everything that we had been hearing. I feel like maybe, you know, that was a warning. And I feel like the biggest mistake I probably made, which I don't know if this makes a difference for Bigfoot or not. But I feel like.

when I shut down all the lights at the campsite, I feel like maybe I should have never done that. I feel like maybe I should have left some lights going or something. I don't know if that gave, you know, more power to them to come over there, maybe more, you know, whatever, I don't know. But yeah. It's an interesting thing to think about.

And also you have the point that you had, you know, you're playing some kind of games on electronics. So that might have been a thing where it's like, maybe the sound, you know, was there's some curiosity there, or maybe it was a thing where like they heard the sound and they're like, time to go to bed. Throw rocks that, yeah. But it's just, it's very, very interesting. Do you think you would ever be interested in getting to the point where you actually go out

and try to have another Bigfoot encounter yourself or you're more prepared if it does happen? So both. I'm not going to lie. Hanobia, Oklahoma is known for the most big foot encounters, I guess, or one of them. It's intense, yeah. And we are big Airbnb stares. We love that part of Oklahoma. So between Broken Bow, Hanobia, Tinkiller, we're always getting Airbnbs and or tent camping in that area.

And so there's actually been two times since this event that I've been out in that area at an Airbnb and different Airbnbs. One was in Broken Bow. And then we were out at Lake Tinkiller last week. for the Bassmaster Classic that they had going on. So both of those times, I did go outside during nighttime, and I sat around the fire, and I had my kids, and their dad was with us. And so we had some people out there, but I tried to wander off by myself and just sit around the fire and kind of see if anything, you know, was going to happen.

But nothing happened. And so I'm like, okay, so I just went inside. But it was spooky. But I also read that, like, most people who have encounters have encounters again. So that's kind of what I was trying to do. with that situation. And since I do go out there frequently, like, I probably will try that again, but nothing, like, has happened or anything. But keep, I mean, yeah, you're correct. But the first encounter only happened in April, right?

Yes. Of this year. So it's still very recent. Yeah. It'd be very interesting to hear what might happen in the future. sometimes things like this tend to follow a certain path. It'd be interesting to hear from me if things do continue to happen. You're more than welcome to reach back out. Or if you have any questions about, hey, this certain thing started to happen and definitely

try to answer any of those for you too. Because sometimes some weird stuff will start to happen after people have an encounter. So that's good to know. Okay. Nothing to be freaked out about, but. Okay. Just, you know, you never know, right? But here to help.

So thank you for hanging out today, Presley. Was there anything else that you needed that you would like to share about the experience? Or do you think we were able to cover all of it today? Yeah, no, I think we covered it all. Thank you for listening. I'm finally glad to, like, talk to someone about it because, you know, When people don't believe in Bigfoot, it's really hard to, like, you know, talk about it. So just having someone to talk about and share this story with has been nice.

So I appreciate it. Yes, ma'am. And you have a great rest of your day. And have you checked out the Bigfoot Festival in Honobie at all? You know, I actually heard that they stopped doing that. And I researched it after this whole thing happened and I got into Bigfoot. Yeah, and I really wanted to go, but I heard they don't do it anymore. No, they do.

Yeah, they're still doing it. They do? It's just different owners now. Yeah. It's going on this October, so check it out. This October. Okay, cool. I'll check it out, definitely.

Thank you. Awesome. Well, you have a great rest of your day, and maybe we will chat again in the future. Have a good one. All right, you too. Thank you. Bye. Hi.

My name is Nadine, and I wanted to share a story from the late 90s. I was a Girl Scout leader, and I took my troop, two troops, to Carnation, to camp. And in the middle of the night, I was awoken. I had this really weird, uneasy feeling. And I heard this sound that was not anything I've ever known before. just howling. And it was so loud. And I heard what sounded like rustling and, you know, shaking of the ground around our cabins.

And it was a Girl Scout camp. So they had all these cabins that were just wood structures that we would go in and sleep inside. when I heard that sound it of course startled me it was so loud it was not a mountain lion it was not a bear

it wasn't a cougar it wasn't any other animal that I knew and it shook me it scared me I knew something wasn't right and so I

got up and looked around and made sure all the girls that were in my cabin were safe and okay. They were asleep. And I'm a Christian, so I just started praying, praying around our campground and praying around our cabins. But I kept, I heard it, I heard it twice. And I've never forgotten this sound. And I didn't really say anything about it.

did ask the other Girl Scout leaders if they had heard anything in the night and they were asleep. They didn't, it never, it never woke them. I got home and told my husband about it and some other friends and that was the last of it until my brother, Brian, started talking to me about Bigfoot, about Sasquash and that they had captured a recording of it of a sound. And when he sent that to me and I listened to it, I nearly hit the floor. It was the exact sound that I had heard that night in Carnation. That was one time I heard them. There was another time in the early 2000s.

We had just moved to our other house. We bought a house and we moved to it. I lived on San Juan Island, Friday Harbor, and we lived there for almost 30 years. And my husband and I were asleep, and we woke up hearing what sounded like a woman being brutally, brutally tortured and killed. It was just awful. and our house sat up on a hill and it was over the valley. And it was so loud and so unnerving, we got up, we went outside, and we could hear it, and it was like vibrating through us.

And I called the police in the middle of the night and let them know something was wrong that it sounded like a woman being tortured. and yet it was loud, so loud that how can this be? And they said that unless I knew the exact location, there's nothing they can do, which I couldn't pinpoint the location because the valley right below us was a long valley off of Beaverton Valley Road. And there were sheep farms right there. And that was another sound that I was.

will never forget. And because it actually vibrated and resonated in me and through me. And my husband was, he heard it too. He dismissed it. I never forgot it. He has since passed away. He's been gone now for many years. If you'd like to share a voicemail to be potentially featured on the show as well,
