All right, BigFest Society, we've got the privilege of talking to Dee tonight, He's a listener from the great state of Oregon, and he has a few encounters to share. But how's it going tonight, Dee? Going real good, Jeremiah. Awesome.
Starting point is 00:03:10 I'm excited to hear. I've heard a little bit about what you've experienced, but, you know, I'm going to go ahead and give it right over to you. And feel free to share what you'd like about what you experienced. Sure. Well, I'd like to start out and give a little background. I grew up in eastern Oregon, and I was out in the woods a lot. My grandpa was a logger, and he by hunted and fished with him, and he took me everywhere out in the woods.
Starting point is 00:03:43 And with the experiences I had there, you know, at that time, very little known about Bigfoot, but never experienced anything. I've been around bears, cougars, you name it. I've had cougars within five feet of me. I've heard him scream, bears have been even closer. So going into the story, I wanted to bring the same thing to my kids. And I had my son, and I took him everywhere with me. We were out in the woods a lot getting wood.
Starting point is 00:04:19 We were hunting, fishing. and this one time him and I were going to head out hunting. My brother, oldest brother, was going to bring his fifth wheel up in the woods, and we were going to use it. Well, my son and I decided to go early. So we went a day early, and we were just going to wait for my brother. Now, I've been out in the woods before. I've camped.
Starting point is 00:04:47 I've dry camped. I've had tents. I've slept in. pickups and everything else. So it was nothing unusual. If Brother didn't show up, we're just out in the woods. Well, we got up there, started getting dark. We were up above the Lawa.
Starting point is 00:05:08 And I told him, you know, let's stop, let's build us a fire and get something to eat. And at the time, my son was pretty close to 10 years. old. He wasn't quite, he was nine, nine in a month to go, nine months or nine years in a month to go. And so we sat down, we found a spot. It was a wide of road. And we pulled up in this clearing and we just kind of parked and lit us a fire and got out some stuff to eat. And we were eaten and the forest, now what was weird, when we were there, we had our fire going, but, it was just completely quiet the minute the sun went down. Not a sound.
Starting point is 00:05:56 And to me, that was strange because I hadn't encountered much of anything like that. Usually you hear something, crickets or something. You just hear something. It's just not that quiet. So we ate, we were talking, and, you know, a son kept asking me, his Uncle David is going to show up. And I said, well, he'll show up when he gets here. It's no big deal.
Starting point is 00:06:22 And we talked for a couple hours just by the fire chatting. Well, about 9.30 at a distance. Now, if I had to guess, I'd hate to guess because there's lots of draws around there in canyons and something can sound far away and it's not far away. Or you hear it and it sounds like it's close, but it's far away. It's just the way the sound echoes through those draws. And we heard something, a scream. And I'll tell you, once I heard a big foot scream,
Starting point is 00:06:57 and I said, that was it. That was it. Just, oh, my goodness, loud, but far away. My son looks up at me with these big eyes. He says, Dad, what is that? Ah, said, don't worry about it. Just, I don't know, animal holler. big deal. Now, if you kind of looked inside of me, you would have seen me going, oh, man,
Starting point is 00:07:22 what is that? This is, this is awesome and scary at the same time because you don't know what it is. I mean, it's pure darkness around us. So he kind of, he kind of says, well, I said, it's far away anyway, don't worry about it. It's no big deal. So we were, we were talking some more. And it was, was pretty close. The only reason I know the times is I was waiting for my brother, so I kept looking up my watch. But about a half hour or two an hour later, somewhere in there, another scream came. And it was just absolutely positive, the same scream as the Bigfoot ones I've heard.
Starting point is 00:08:07 And I was just, and he looked at me this time, and he says, Dad, this is scaring me. I said, don't worry about it. We're fine. There's nothing out here going to get us. And, of course, inside I was saying, let's getting closer. And my first thought was, let's get out of there. You know, just something inside me just didn't want to stay. And I thought, no, we got to, we just got to stay here because I want to meet my brother up there.
Starting point is 00:08:43 and it was 1130 because I looked at my watch it was 1130 and that thing was right across the road and it screamed and right now even talking about it I get chills up by back it was horrendous and my son jumped out up and he almost started crying they wanted to get in the truck I says well let's get in the truck and we'll drive down to town. And you could hear rustling in the brush a little bit, not real loud, but rustling.
Starting point is 00:09:25 But that scream, like I said, I've been around Cougar screams and never, ever have I had chills up my spine like that. And it was so loud. So we got in the truck and I started up the truck. And we made a loop around to get turned around to go out the road. Well, the trees weren't that far away from the road. If I had to say it was about 50 yards. But we turned around, and when our headlights came across that,
Starting point is 00:10:03 there was hands and the top of a head looking through a couple of the trees. It was just, I started. stop for a second look just because I'm not seeing this, am I? And my son just looked at him. He says, Dad, let's get out of here. That thing's huge. You saw the hands and they had two trees split apart, two smaller trees. They were pretty close to when I stood under them, because we went up the next day,
Starting point is 00:10:36 but I stood under there was about, I was not even halfway. So they were probably 10, 10 to 11. feet tall. He had him spread apart, was looking through him. And then when we sat there for a few minutes, the hands went back and the trees were swaying, and we got out of there. And at first, I wanted to stay. I wanted to see more, but then I thought for the safety of my son, that's, you know, I got to protect the kids more than anything. And when it comes to wild animals, you don't really know what they're going to do. I don't trust them.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Don't trust wild animals whatsoever because they could be really good, but then they can turn on you. So anyway, we, he saw that. My son had tears at his eyes because he was just, I think he was going into shock myself. And I, we got down to town and down. to the town and pulled off somewhere and you know neither one of us slept that night to wake up
Starting point is 00:11:46 the next morning to go hunting and my brother finally made it up and we went back up in the woods to where we were camped and like I said I walked across the road and stood by those trees that were right next to the road
Starting point is 00:12:03 and I was a midget to those trees and when I looked I looked up to see how high they were. The thing had to be nine to ten feet tall, if not a little taller. And started scouring for tracks. And there was, the ground was real hard, but the tall grass. The only thing you could see was the pathway to where it came in. And I took my son with me.
Starting point is 00:12:39 And we tracked it. We tracked the walking as far as we could. And I'm no amateur tracking. I'm not an expert, but I've tracked a lot of game. And we actually followed it to where it went up over the hill and then went down into the straw. And we never found there was never a good track. Like I said, the ground was pretty hard. but you see the grass being laid over.
Starting point is 00:13:13 And the only reason I say I know it was, it was a bakefoot was because the grass that was laid over was huge compared to my foot. I tried to show my son, I said, see, you put your foot down. And he says, well, yeah, but yours is only half of what that one is. I said, that's what I'm saying. I know what we saw and I know what we were following. And we tracked it down as far as I wanted to go because it got real thick and steep. And you could see through the brush where the grass was
Starting point is 00:13:54 where it was laid down and you could see it where it went down into the draw. Well, the biggest thing about this was number one, I wasn't looking for Bigfoot. And number two is it was, the least expected thing I would ever see. There was, we weren't, we weren't, I wasn't prepared to see it as far as like we're out hunting Bigfoot. We were out deer hunting or going to be deer hunting the next day or two. But, and I think that's what surprised me the most. And in the area that we saw it in,
Starting point is 00:14:33 what, what was it doing there? There's, There are so many people out in the woods at that time, and it was just a strange occurrence. And I know that it'll never forget it. That's exactly never forget it. That was the hands. I saw the fingers. I didn't see thumbs. I just saw the fingers holding the trees back.
Starting point is 00:15:01 I was looking through them. And the hands were just huge. dark colored but had wrinkles on the knuckles just like a human and the top of the head was covered with hair it was just hairy in it oh and the thing was just I can't imagine how tall it was because it had to be 10 11 feet tall and I was just I was shook up I think just as much of my son but I wasn't showing him I didn't want to I didn't didn't want him scared of the woods is the main thing and that's the last thing i wanted him to to be scared to go out in the woods but i've we we followed it i looked for tracks couldn't find
Starting point is 00:15:50 anything uh not the track to where you could do any any casts or anything but it had a big stride now this is like i said with the grass laid over it was just almost three strides of bind, which my stride is exactly three feet. And so his stride was about six foot, five foot, six foot strides. And that was, that was all we saw the whole time we were up there, because I was hoping to see it again, but never did. So we're in northeast Oregon. And did you say north of Wallowa? Willowa, the city of
Starting point is 00:16:39 Wallaah, yeah. Is this in like a wildlife area or a state park or No, there's a lot of Federal Forest Service up there and it used to be a lot of it owned by Boise Cascade but I think
Starting point is 00:16:56 they sold it to a land company Hancock or something but it's mainly, you know, public, anybody in the public can get up in it, yeah.

Starting point is 00:19:52 doctor or pharmaceutical, patrocinated for GSC. Gotcha. I let people in the Patreon read through what you submitted. And if they have a question as well, they can submit the question and there's a chance I might use it.
Starting point is 00:20:09 So Scott and the Patreon, he's got a question and it's a good one. What was your relation to the concept of Bigfoot? Were you a Bigfoot believer before this event happened? I think they'd put it this way. I was and wasn't. Okay, I got an open mind, always did. And I first remember my grandpa having a, some type of wildlife magazine where they had the film from,
Starting point is 00:20:46 gosh, I can't think of it now. Or they had a picture from the Patterson Giblin film. about Bigfoot. Well, I read the article, but I looked at my grandpa, I said, hey, Grandpa, what do you think about Bigfoot? There you go, Bigfoot. That's all he said.
Starting point is 00:21:03 But then I started learning more about it as I went along. And even back then, they didn't have much on it. There was a few books out there. And, of course, I went to the library and got a few books and read about it. But the way I looked at it was, you know, I got it.
Starting point is 00:21:23 an open mind, but until I see it, I'm not going to believe it fully. I saw it. I believe it. So I wasn't a full believer, but I wasn't a total skeptic either. If that makes sense. Yeah, no, it definitely does. And this wasn't like you and your son, we're like, okay, we're going on a big foe hunt. Like you were just trying to get out and enjoy nature and this just happened to happen.
Starting point is 00:21:52 And that's the whole thing about it. And that's why I think sometimes when anybody, whether it be me or anybody else, sometimes I think when we go out looking for Bigfoot, I don't think you're going to, I've not seen one go out there looking for it. All might have happened when I'm not out there, Bigfoot honey. I'm just out in the woods and enjoying some time. And that was the, that's the thing that got me the most because I, this wooded area I'm talking about, I started hunting and getting wood with my grandpa when I was eight years old.
Starting point is 00:22:33 And I'd been through all those woods with him. He logged them all. So he took me everywhere up in there all over. There wasn't a bit of that country I didn't see. And I figured, well, it's too close to a town. You know, it's probably 30 miles to the nearest town out of the woods. you know, it's kind of close to town, so you'd ever see a big foot out here. You know, that was kind of my shot growing up.
Starting point is 00:23:04 And, well, I had even started hunting at eight years old with my grandpa, and he's put me out on walks and said, walk down this hill and I'll meet you down at the road, you know, type thing where nowadays I wouldn't have let my kids do it because I'd be too scared to get lost. But it was not the perfect setting to go find Bigfoot. We weren't 30 miles or 40 miles back in the wilderness where nobody goes. This is where people are, which really had me, just had me amazed at the chance I had to see it. Oh, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Man, Dee, I think there's a chance your grandpa probably saw something at one time or another. I just have a feeling, but that's, I've got, you know, I'm just kind of guessing. Well, I'm thinking, he started logging out in those woods in 1930 and got his own logging company in 41 and sold out in 69. I believe he was doing what I was doing to my son. And I think he was wanting to not make me scared to go out. in the woods. He knew if, you know, he knew if I told him, yeah, you're this big foot out there. They're big. You never know what's going to happen, blah, blah, blah. You know, at eight years old or so, I would have been scared to go out in the woods. I was scared to death. Yeah. He probably, you know, he probably was doing something like that. Yeah, I could definitely see that. But what year again was this that you and your son had the experience? It was 1997. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Thinking back to when you saw the head and the fingers, did you get a chance to see like what kind of the shape of the head was at all? Or did you remember anything that you saw about the head for details? The head part I saw was just covered with hair. If I remember, right, it had a little bit of a code shape, but it wasn't. prominent, you know, it wasn't like a pyramid sitting on somebody's head, but it was raised a little bit. But I, like I said, with the hands, I was concentrating on the hands because I could see them just clear as day. I mean, they were wrapped around the tree, pulling these two small trees apart. I know it was looking over him, but I just caught it when I came around with the lights and stopped
Starting point is 00:25:51 to where he had enough time to put it up. over his face. But yeah, I didn't really, I saw the hair and it looked like maybe a code shape, but I was looking at the hands because they were just right out there in the open, more or less. The screams, you said you've heard this, you heard the screams a few times. Are those, can you describe, you know, there's a few different, you know, we hear the Bigfoot sounds on the different types of media.
Starting point is 00:26:21 There's different types. Is there any way you can kind of describe maybe what type of scream or is like Ohio Howl or anything of that? Well, I'm trying to think. It kind of mimicked some of the, there's a couple sounds on, I think, I think, fighting Bigfoot that they had tapes of that were really close. Okay. not exact but it was the low tone or it was high then low and then kind of low high again it was just kind of a but it was the duration that killed me because usually Kyle you know they'll they'll how when it's a few seconds this seemed like it was for about eight to ten seconds and it was it was a loud scream loud. And it didn't, and it wasn't like a cougar scream either. And I've heard them plenty of times. And it was nothing even close, too, too short of a call, a cougar is too short of a call to match this.
Starting point is 00:27:38 All I know is when it got across the road and it screamed, every hair on my body stood up. It didn't shake you, but you were physically shaking of just hearing that scream that close. It was awesome. Now I think it's awesome. Back then, I was scared to death. Your son is around 35 right now, I think, if I do the math. How did this affect him later in life as an adult if it did? You know what?
Starting point is 00:28:12 It hasn't. He does bushcraft survival things. You know, go out in the woods with his knife and a hatchet. sometimes and just stay for three or four days out in the woods, just living off the land and what's there. It didn't affect him in a way. In fact, I think it made it the other way. Now he's not afraid, and he wants to find it type thing.
Starting point is 00:28:47 So it actually did good instead of bad. That is extremely interesting. So I'd guess he's probably out in Oregon doing his thing, bushcrafting out there. Yeah, he lives in a southern part of Oregon. Southwest. Yeah, he's actually, I'd actually, you know, now that I never thought of it that way, but it's kind of with the opposite way. And he's not afraid of anything.
Starting point is 00:29:16 He just, he just wants to see it again. He just, well, if I see it, I see it, Dad. I says, yeah, we all will, hopefully someday again. but that's really really interesting um if he ever does have any encounters you know keep me in mind for sure um so now i will i'll let you continue um with what happens next which the listeners are probably like okay what happens next yeah this was this was this was awesome i I mean, you know, it's the few occasions I've had that this was incredible, and I was thrilled. But now jump forward to 2007.
Starting point is 00:30:12 We were, we decided a wife wanted to take up some hunting, so I took her up there to go hunting. And so we get up there, pitch her tent, and get all camp. set up and we have a we have a cabin tent that's 10 by 12 and it's 7 and a half feet tall so we could stand up
Starting point is 00:30:38 we could stand up at our tents and everything so it's just her and I and the dogs so we had I think five dogs at that time four dogs at that time and they were four chihuahuas believe it or not and we were
Starting point is 00:30:54 we got up there the first night and like I said, it was again quiet. It was just the forest was too quiet. No coyotes, no nothing. Kind of strange, but oh well, we just went out our way. The first night was just nothing. Doesn't happen. Second night, nothing happened.
Starting point is 00:31:20 And then the third night, it was quiet again. and we got done with the fire, got done with dinner, and we decided that, well, it's time to go to bed. And it was supposed to rain that night. So we took a tarp and laid it over half the tent on the backside and halfway over the front so that we could still get out the, the front of the tent without messing with the tarp. Well, the wind blew, and it blew the tarp off the tent, of course,
Starting point is 00:32:04 and this was later, I was getting ready for bed. So I said, oh, well, if it rains, I guess we'll hope the tent's waterproof, whatever. I'm tired. But we were sitting there, and I was getting ready for bed. and on the tarp you heard a footstep and the tarp crinkled and then crinkled again
Starting point is 00:32:31 and I'm going and looked at my wife said, shh, it would be real quiet something out there she goes oh it's probably someone just messing there it's the cows because there were some cows around camp
Starting point is 00:32:46 and I says if a cow was stepping on that tarp, you'd hear all four legs, you'd hear all four feet. I'd then worked on a cow ranch for a while. You can hear cows coming. I know their steps. This is not a cow. So just sat real quiet.
Starting point is 00:33:07 And it kept coming around. It kept coming around the side of the tent, real slow. But you could hear it. And she, wife says, this is a bear. And I says, no, it's not a bear. this is this is something else so I just sat there and
Starting point is 00:33:24 as I was listening it made its way around to the front of the tent which was kind of strange and I thought well my first thought was maybe someone's out there bested with us and I just stayed there
Starting point is 00:33:42 and watched I did have a shotgun got in the tent with me, and I thought, well, I'll just wait and see what's going on. And it kind of was like those creep shows, like, maybe what's going to happen to X? What's going on? Because you heard it walk all the way around in the front of the tent. And all of a sudden, up on clear of the top of the tent, not far from the center, probably maybe six to eight inches from the center.
Starting point is 00:34:19 You see a finger scratching the tent like they're feeling it. And you could see the finger through, you know, not through the tent, but the way the tent folds, you know what tense that nylon. And it was scratched the tent like feeling something or something. And I looked at my wife and I said, well, enough's enough. And I think I racked a shotgun. and I heard it run off. So, well, I says, well, somebody's messing.
Starting point is 00:34:54 I said, you saw that. And she goes, yeah, I did. He said, that was a finger. This is Matt Rogers from Los Culture Eastus with Matt Rogers and Bowen-Yang.

Starting point is 00:37:18 like the value of the family, the importance of the job, and that the 99% of the people
Starting point is 00:37:23 of the people who cause a Culebriya. Although not all the people in risk it
Starting point is 00:37:29 will be the the eruption doors with ampolls during times, making that
Starting point is 00:37:35 even the things are all a lot of a problem. Don't learn about the
Starting point is 00:37:41 doctor or pharmaceutical, patrocinated for GSK. Does it push down? on the tent and rubbing it, like scratching it with its fingernail. And she says, yeah, I did.
Starting point is 00:37:54 I saw it. No big deal. I says, no, that was Bigfoot. She says, no, it wasn't. I said, yeah, it was because we'd seen him up here before. And I says, that was him. And she goes, I'll think so. So the next morning, oh, we went out hunting that morning, but came back early.
Starting point is 00:38:15 And of course, I went looking for tracks, and I could find some, it was dusty where we were at. I could see some dust spurred up, but I couldn't really make out nothing but maybe a heel track, being a heel part of the heel. So then I thought, okay, I've got to try this. I went over to the tent, and if that was somebody's finger, they had to be pretty tall. because I'm only 5'9, 510. And I couldn't even hardly reach up over the, well, I could just reach over the edge of the tent.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Okay, that's far from the head. Now, this thing's 10 foot, 10 foot in length that tent is. And it was reaching halfway over, seven foot high, six foot over. And I started, I grabbed a stick and I said, now you get in the tent and you look up. So I took a stick, put it down on there and moved it. She goes, that's not even close to what it was.
Starting point is 00:39:23 And so I tried different things to see if I was being best with. And I couldn't do the same thing that we saw. And I told her, I said, you know, this is the same thing. that happened before the forest was quiet for those three or four days the forest was just dead quiet at night no coyotes no nothing and
Starting point is 00:39:56 it's the same area and I I just come to the conclusion that that it just happens when you least expect it because that Bigfoot was the last thing on my mind while we were up there
Starting point is 00:40:14 but when I heard it walk around that tent I mean it's almost you you could feel it but you couldn't see it and you could hear it and just the steps the steps it was like it was sneaking up because you could just hear it hit that thing
Starting point is 00:40:35 and to reach over across the top of that tent there's no way there's no way anybody could have done that without falling in on the tent even if they were standing on something but that was the that was the second experience in the same area just 10 years later Dee that is that is wild did so after that was that enough so you're like I'm not going back there anymore or is it a thing where I might go back there again someday no it came to the
Starting point is 00:41:14 point to where it was I'm going back there again Okay. I got excited. That time I got excited. I just, I had the dogs and the wife with me, but I was, I was like, I'm not crazy. Okay. You know, that was kind of my thing. It was like, in my own brain, it was, I'm not crazy.
Starting point is 00:41:35 There is actually something up here, and it's Bigfoot. And I want to see it again. Would you go back there again for a third time? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. to have one more experience. Yeah. I think it would be worth it.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Now, do I want to keep my distance? Yeah, I really don't want to come face to face with her. You know, I mean, I do and I don't. Like I said, it's an animal. You don't know what might happen. I like the distance, but I am not afraid. I'm more curious than afraid to see it again.
Starting point is 00:42:23 I want to see more of it. People that have actually seen their faces, that type of thing. I'd love to experience that part. But it hasn't made me scared to go in the woods at all. It's made me more curious. Absolutely. Would you be able to mark on a map
Starting point is 00:42:46 the general area where this happened? I feel like there's there's got to be other people that have experienced stuff in the same area. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I can't. I mark it on the map and send it to you. I just, I have a feeling. That would be, that would be great. Scott's a good guy.
Starting point is 00:43:07 He's got a very similar way of thinking as I do. So we're both have the same question. Do you know if there's been stories of other sightings or activity in that area, either prior to you? camping there afterwards? You know, I haven't heard of much activity, but I'll tell you, people over there really don't talk about it. If they would, people think they're crazy. It's the old way I think, and I think it's just like my grandpa was.
Starting point is 00:43:45 I mean, you know, they just don't talk about those things. You know, you guys are crazy, blah, blah, blah. I do know of a couple of reports back then that happened in the Mineum Canyon, which is where those reports took place that I could find out or understand where they were at was probably, I don't know, maybe 50 to 20 miles away. So, I mean, it's not an outreach. of them moving that far. And I'm kind of on the, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:44:31 my theory, if I could say it, is that I think they move around. I think they almost, a small migration, not a, I don't think they're going from Alaska to California. I don't really think they're going that far. But I think they have their high ground and then they have their low ground and travel with the food.
Starting point is 00:44:53 I really believe. leave and where we camped at is kind of the mid-range between high and low. And I kind of wondered if it wasn't, it was around in October, early October. And I almost wondered if they weren't starting to move down from their high ranges. And it was just kind of a migration path, you know, my theory. Were both times in October? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Yep, there were. Because I hunted in those woods, but also by sudden I went up there and did some hike. And we'd go up there and just do some scout ground, just hiking. Never had, never saw anything, never had any interaction, never felt anything. Because sometimes if you've been out in the woods enough, You kind of feel things. You know, like, yeah, maybe we should go down there. Or you just, you got a gut feeling that maybe that's not good place to go.
Starting point is 00:46:09 We hiked all over up there, I never got that feeling of something's there or something, you know, watching us or anything. But that's what kind of amazed me because I'd been in the woods and been around those woods so much. and then have both these things happened in the same place. It was kind of shocking because the last thought in my mind I'd ever be able to have those experiences that close to where I was living. I was living in LaGrand at the time. But now it's in my area. I don't have to read books about it being in Washington, California, and place else.
Starting point is 00:47:01 It's right up there. And, of course, as my son got older, we'd go looking for it, but we never found anything. Oh, so that is very interesting. So the times that you weren't looking, but the times that you were, that's very interesting. And that's why I've told some people that I've talked to, I says, they say, well, I want to find Bigfoot, let's go Bigfoot. And I says, you'll never find it. I says, you need to go into the places, not expecting it, and not be prepared for it.
Starting point is 00:47:41 And I said, that's when you see it. That's what it all happens. And that's what's happened every time. And I saw now when I go out in the woods. I hide the cameras and everything, so I'm not expected to see Bigfoot, but I'm sure going to give a picture of it this time. Yeah, you see you're good to go. You have a camera with you, and maybe even audio recorder, who knows.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Yeah, audio recorder, and then what was it about, I guess it's been 10 years, finally got night vision, and so, and that's been real handy. So, you know, I'm not, I'm not the richest fellow. I can't afford all the fancy toys they have for Bigfoot hunting. So, yeah, someday, someday I'll have them. Well, Dee, it has been a really interesting chat about an area I haven't really talked to a lot of people about. So it would be interesting to see what comes of this interview. And you have, we talked a little bit earlier today that you agreed to to stay on a little bit longer.
Starting point is 00:49:01 We're going to talk about some other subjects for the Patreon, kind of like an after show. And it's kind of non-Bigfoot related subjects, but it'll get interesting. It's kind of a new thing that I'm trying out. So yeah, we will chat about that. but I just want to say thank you so much for coming on. If you enjoyed this episode and wish there was more to hear from Dee, well, guess what there is? I'm doing strange days for some episodes now if the interviewee's up for it. And what that is is I ask them all sorts of questions about weird stuff that's happened in their life that is not related to Bigfoot.
