Tonight's story isn't from a tourist or a hunter. It's from a man who lived in Oregon's Cottage Grove and spent countless hours in the thick forest. But what he encountered out there wasn't just another creature. was something from the legends. He saw Bigfoot, heard its calls, and found its prints in the mud,

but that wasn't all. Curtis also encountered strange, unexplained lights in the sky and even an alien-like being. This is a first-hand account of a man who found more than he bargained for in the woods, and it's a journey that will leave you wondering what's truly out there. So stay with us. All right, Bigfoot Society. I've got the privilege of talking to Curtis today. Curtis is an individual I got connected to. And he's had some interesting things happen in the Cottage Grove area of Oregon. I believe we were connected after the Daryl Adams episode that I did. And this takes place back in the mid-1990s.

So it's going to be very interesting. But welcome to the show. Curtis, how's it going, man? I'm okay, Jeremiah. How are you? I'm doing great. It's starting to get warm out here in Iowa. I can't complain.

The weather's good for now. They had... I'm in South... I'm in South Florida, so yeah, I know what the warmth is. Oh, that's nice. Maybe I'll have to... It's been a while since I've been on to Florida, but it sounds pretty warm down there.

May I'll have to do that someday, but, you know, Curtis, I've been wanting to connect with you for a while. I love talking to people about this area of Oregon, this Cottage Grove area over to Oak Ridge. We were talking about that before the show. But, you know, feel free to take us back to this time frame of the mid-1990s. And, you know, if you can maybe share, were you living here in the Cottage Grove area at that time? Actually, what happened was I was living in Washington, about 50 miles south of Mount St. Ellen's.

then I went down to visit my sister in Cottage Grove and ended up getting, you know, some work and a job and visitation turned into a couple years of working and and visiting and being in Cottage Grove. It's pretty much. That's that. That's fantastic. So you became very, very familiar with how that area is. This isn't a thing where you were just driving through. you became pretty familiar, I would imagine.

Exactly. I lived in town. I lived in that broke. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. But it was always going out to the mountains and hills. I mean, all my friends and everybody, we all camped and hunted and, you know, go out there and shoot guns and stuff like that. I mean, we're always in the hills. Now, you spend some time down there.

did you start to realize really quick that there's something going on out there in the woods? Were you hearing stuff like, oh, so-and-so saw something maybe it was a Bigfoot, or was that stuff not really talked about in the 90s? No, it was not talked about. Bigfoot never crossed my mind in my entire life. Even when I lived in Washington, it didn't. My first experience was, my first experience, was I was at a friend's house

working on a woman's car or a van. Got her van going and she said, well, do you think it'll run? I said, yeah, let's put it on the road and test it. And we went to where I think

Jeremiah is drain, but I, the town drain. Gotcha. But I can't remember. It was out, it was west, what I believe is west of Cottage Grove.

and this was my first experience. So we get to either her brother's farm or her uncle's farm. I don't know. She wanted to take a shower and get some pack a bag of clothes or something. I don't know. Anyway, waiting for her, I saw a rifle by the front door, so I grabbed that rifle, made sure it was loaded. There was a little dog, like a little hunting dog type thing.

And me and him just took a hike up into the hills, up into the mountain. Well, the hill behind them. And we got up in there, me and that dog, and I heard a bunch of, I don't know, branches break in and something was running. Okay, so I crouched down. And the dog stopped right next to me, and I crouched down, and I'm looking through. I'm looking up the hill. And, you know, in between the brush, through the brush, I saw something brown run past.

Okay, never had big foot in my mind or nothing. Figured, you know, it's either a deer or elk. Well, me and that dog got to that point. Like, man, this is a ditch. You know, it's like a little creek or reservoir, or not reservoir, but a ditch running alongside the hill, whatever. Okay, so we're walking, and we follow that, and we finally get to the end of that, and there's like, I don't know,

a 20-by-well, 20-foot diameter mud puddle, a big mud puddle. Okay, so big deal, whatever. I go to grab a cigarette I'm lighting up a cigarette and I happen to look down and brand new there's a print right at the end of my feet

my boots there's a perfect 100% big foot print and then next to that was a skinny one the same length only it was skinny which I've never seen

anybody in the community have a skinny one like I saw and then my jaw dropped my heart rate went sky high I looked at the dog the dog was shivering and me and that dog split

we ran out of there as fast as we could something wasn't right and I and then I knew wow they exist they're for real it was brand new the print. And we ran out of there and we got to the open spot.

That's all, I remember, that's all I wanted to do was get to this. It was like a cut down hayfield behind her farm. And all I want to do was get out in that, get out of the woods. And we got out there, me and that dog, we ran and stopped, started walking and then I heard a huge limb

I could tell it was huge because it took forever to crack so finally it's cracked and it's cracking and it's cracking and it's cracking and finally it broke and hit the ground and when it did it

started and me and that dog just ran back to the farm. and my blood pressure was sky high and I was scared. Something just happened and I just saw those prints. And I got in there and I told Linda, I said, I don't know what's out there, but there's something real, really big out there. She goes, you saw a big foot, didn't you?

I said, I don't know if I saw one, but I saw the prince and I heard this big, huge ranch break and she goes yeah they're out there she acted like it was no big deal then in retrospect

I figured out I think what I did see that was brown running through the brush was a Sasquatch I don't think it was a deer or an elk because when I got to the point where that ravine was,

I would have never saw it because it was too deep to be a, for me to see a deer or an elk. So, boy, that's when it all started, Jeremiah. I was scared, but really intrigued, man. It's when I got addicted. That was my, it started to turn into my addiction to hunt for them and find them and look for clues. Oh, wow.

So you really went down the road after that? Oh, man, hardcore, yes. Yes, I was full-blown addicted. Matter of fact, every time I went to the woods out there, every time. Well, this is throughout, you know, more experiences, a few more experiences on the other side of the county. I think it was Lane County. I can't remember.

Then I started seeing more, I started having more experiences, and I just kept on teaching myself. And then I figured out, start looking up. Everybody looks down for prints. Start looking up and look for something that's abnormal, that you're not going to see up.

And then usually nine times out of ten, when you look down, you will see prints. I gotcha. So that is so smart, Curtis. So you're looking up, looking, scanning the horizon through the trees, finding the abnormal stuff. Then you look down and you see the prints. Wow.

I wrote down a couple notes here because I can't remember. See, oh, the mining check. We went there to shoot guns. Well, I think it's a mining check. It's either a old mining check. or a logger shack. I mean, that's the country I was in, logging, went there to shoot guns,

and around that shack, there was all kinds of prints. I mean, a lot. And they are what they are. You know, I'm not making this up. Nobody makes this stuff up. I call them hills. I guess people, they'll say they're mountains,

but I call them hills because I'm used to you know, Mount St. Helens, Mount Hood, Mount Adams, those are mountains. But anyway, so I'm running down and I fell and rolled down and got hurt. I finally made it through a logging road and finally landed.

Pulling branches out of my eyes and my and off. off me and brushing myself off, and I happen to look over, just by chance. There was a tree growing sideways out of the hill and the side of the hill, or by the road, and the side of the hill, it was growing,

it was growing, I don't know, 45 degrees out the side, but anyway, at the bottom by the trunk, there was like a hole in it, where you could, like, get in there. in the trunk of the tree. And I happen to look over and I saw an alien.

There was an alien squatted down, crotch down, in that, in there. It had blue, like a bluish, transparent skin. Its butt was touching the ground, but its knees were above its head. I'm guessing that thing. If it was to stand up, I'm guessing it would have been 15 foot tall

or close to it. Had like a triangle head kind of. Well, once my brain recognized that and saw that, I had that brand faster than what I was running before. I was falling down that hill. I had mentioned that to Daryl. And Darrell goes, yeah. I know what you're saying.

I know he's had, he's seen things, I believe. When he was on my show, he talked about that. He was seeing stuff like that. Yeah, that's wild. He had sent me a, like, a picture of a portal off the side of a tree. And he also sent me a picture of what he believes. and I believe is an alien like what I saw. Holden or one hand has a light coming out of his hand or something.

So that's, when I see all this stuff, Jeremiah, and when I see other people know what I'm talking about, that I'm not crazy, it's like they saw the same thing I saw, you know? I'm freaking. And yes, it was all in Cottage Grove. I have been called the Eugene College one time. Oh, really? I said, I told them I need to talk to somebody

because there is some stuff that you people need to check out down here in Cottage Grove. And I can't remember who, like I said, who I was talking to or whatever. But they're like, what? I said, you need to come investigate Sasquatch down in Cottage Grove. whoever I was talking to laughed and hung up. That was that. Curtis, when you ever would go out and do your investigations, would you have issues with electronic devices?

Or I guess in that time, you probably didn't have a lot of electronic devices, correct, when you're out? No. Okay. I never had a cell phone. I never had a camera. the only thing I had in my pocket was a little 25 pistol,

which would have done absolutely nothing. But it was just something in my pocket. But I never, like I said, never had a camera, cell phone, nothing. Now that I think about it, when I look at what I look at what I look at what's going on now, back in early mid-90s I would have liked to hook up with

any of these researchers back then I like to turn myself into a researcher and nobody else they all thought I was crazy exactly because at that time

I mean you had people like Peter Byrne and Henry Franzoni was working the more of the Mount Hood area but he would come down to Oak Ridge in the

90s. And yeah, that's just wild. I mean, you were out there by yourself. Now, I've never had to do this before. And sometimes when you talk about Bigfoot stuff, really weird stuff happens with technology. I don't know if you've ever heard that or I've never had this particular thing happen where. So I, my recorder, just went bonkers and I look over and it's not working. Now, the last five minutes we did get, but I've never had to ask someone to tell something over again. Would you be able to share how you saw the female and the baby visually and then the one in the tree and then the two, on the logs. I apologize. I do not know what happened to my equipment. Okay, well, the one

like I said, my friend, was down in that gully area, hole area, clipping those branches off those bushes. And probably, I don't know, 80 to 100 feet behind them,

the female holding the baby popped out from behind the tree, and then a second later, the other one, which I think is a male, popped off from another tree. And then that's when I started yelling at Bill, hey, they're right freaking behind you. And that's when he yelled back to me,

don't move or don't, you know, let's just let me finish doing what I'm doing. I don't want to do nothing bad, you know. You know, spook them or scare. He didn't know. We didn't know. But those are, those are the first two for sure sightings that I had right then and there at that moment.

I was up by where the boulder was up on the trail, up on the cliff. He was down in the hole. Okay, and I saw those. And then when we left, like I said, got in the truck. and noticed in the rearview mirror one tree shaken up the hill, everything else calm. And at the top of that tree, and like I said before, you know, what our Douglas firs is 100, anywhere from 100 foot to 200 foot.

They're tall trees. I'm in the forest. That one tree was shaken. before I grab my binoculars that I zoom in on, and there he's sitting on that limb, that branch, and breaking another one right above him. And that I saw very, very distinctive because I had binoculars. And like I said, that's the one.

I did see, I did see his teeth because he was like, I don't know, screaming. It wasn't howling. He was, he was mad. And I did see his teeth, and they're kind of like ours. Only, only they've got bigger, or that one, had bigger canines. He had big canines. So that was that one.

Thank you. Thank you, Curtis. And you had said when we were talking before the tech issue happened that if you had to, Say if it felt either and looked either ape-like or human-like, you had some thoughts about that. I'm going to go more human-like. Facial with all of them? More human. Not gorilla or a monkey.

More human. A flatter face. A flatter nose? Compared to a flatter face. Yeah. Yes, compared to a flatter face. compared to... Plan B made over-the-counter emergency contraception legal more than 20 years ago.

Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a recesses. a gorilla or a monkey. Gotcha. More human. More human. You had also mentioned an interesting account that I want to make sure is documented where you had been, you took your flashlight and shined it into the woods on something.

Yeah, the two of them laying on that tree going across the creek. Yeah, there was two of them. of them laying right there. Like, like I said, like spooning, you know, like, you know, a guy and a girl spooning. Right. That's what they look like on that log.

And the weird thing is, you know, a lot of animals, you know, some of them, their eyes glow red when you shine light on them on their eyeballs. These were like a glowing yellowish green that night for them

two Sasquatch. and like I said before, there's another, I wasn't by myself. Curtis, spending so much time. I got more stuff. Oh, I know. And I'm just thankful that we got the tech figured out. We're good. I apologize again for that.

It's never happened on the show. But, you know, I do, before you continue with your notes, I want to ask you real quick. There are so many people in this area that have reported they go out looking for. for Bigfoot in this area. They spend time in there and then weird stuff happens to them. Sometimes physical issues. Is that anything you ever experienced spending time in there? I can tell you one thing that I've experienced.

Nothing like what you just asked me. But ever since my Cottage Grove days, I mean, it was only a few years. and I ended up leaving. It seems to me like this is going to sound psycho. It seems to me like I have more, like I have some kind of special power.

Like, how do I put it? Reading people's minds, knowing what's going to happen before it happens, yada, yada, I mean, these aren't. I've told my family and my friends, these aren't coincidental. I mean, when it happens multiple times every day, that's not a coincidence. It's like I got some kind of, I don't know, power or something, and it all started from then.

I don't want to sound like a nut. No, you're not. I'm trying not to sound like a nut, man. You are not. Because this kind of thing is repeated over and over to me over the last few years. and my theory is that being in certain areas or having contact with these individuals does unlock something within either the human brain or humans in general and I feel crazy saying that but people keep saying it over and over in their encounters and it is so interesting that's freaking awesome Jeremiah because I've never known that until you just now told me. And that makes me feel a hell of a lot better

that I'm not the only one. Can you give an example of how that works? Like you know someone's going to say something before they do or how this plays out in your life? That would... Yeah, that happens all the time. knowing what somebody's going to say before they do, that's constant.

That's like almost every conversation. So I never really took that, you know, to the extreme because a lot of people are kind of like that, I guess. You know, you know what somebody's going to say before they say it. But, man, it's like all the time with me constantly. and that's just one thing. Just life, life in general, walking down the block, walking down the street right here. You know, I mean, it's hard to explain.

I can't explain it. It's like I know stuff without knowing it. It's weird. Do you feel like... Go ahead. No, you go ahead. I was going to ask, do you feel that at any point, There was anything, or I won't lead it,

do you feel like there was ever any communication happening in any way? With my experiences? Yeah, maybe any communication between yourself and Bigfoot in any way. As far as I can remember, I don't believe so. physically between me and them it's like my friend Bill always said they're allowing us I'm like why are we the only ones

that are seeing this stuff and he's like they're allowing us so there was some kind of an intimate type maybe that's the wrong word but you know some kind of a I wanted to see them and they were checking me

out too. Curtis, I think you're you're on to something really interesting there. Something I've noticed from your account so far is that you weren't an individual that was going out there trying to take photos or video or record things. How would you say your intention was when you were out there trying to have a connection with these creatures? That was me personally. I was addicted. I wanted more and more and more. Matter of fact, if I could have talked to one, I would have. I was flabbergasted.

I can't believe that I'm seeing a myth that for all these years, people have been saying it doesn't exist, there's no such thing, you're a whack job, blah, blah, blah, blah. No, I'm not. It does exist. I've got all kinds of proof, but I can't prove it. You know what I mean?

So your proof is in what you experienced, I take it. I'm sorry? Your proof is saying that your proof would be and then the things that you experienced in the stories you can share, correct? That's the only proof I have. Right. But see, I don't have to tell or prove it to anybody else. I know it for a fact.

Absolutely. I've already seen it. I've already experienced it. I've seen it. Everything that I've told you is just, you know, I wrote down notes. Those are just some of what's going on. And it's like what I just said with Bill. They're allowing us or me, for sure 100% to see everything.

Prince. Prince is a joke. Broken trees is the joke. structures is a joke all that kind of stuff that that's like a dime a dozen to me and and everybody

else other researchers too like I said Daryl Daryl's had some hardcore experiences and and what's his name? Tobre

Yeah Toby or Tobbe Tobb yep Yeah it's a great guy Yeah him too Curtis, was there ever a time you feel that you were out there and things went too far? Say that again.

Do you feel like there was ever a time when you're out there in the field and having interactions and things went too far? Or was everything always manageable for you? No, what went too far is when I walked through that arch and saw those high needle mounds. That was, I thought maybe I crossed the line there, Bill two, maybe we crossed the line. We didn't know what it was. Was this a burial ground? What is this? And then 10, 15 minutes later, I see an alien.

Oh, and that's another thing I wanted to tell you about. Oh, I was helping my brother-in-law, this is in Caddage Grove in town. I was helping my brother-in-law. this was that night time work on a car we were doing a car thing and I happen to notice like the North Star but it wasn't the North Star

but it was a bright light up in the sky and I'm like that's not a tower light because white tower lights flash this wasn't flashing it was just a bright light okay yeah big deal okay looks like the north star

well it wasn't the north star because I don't know two three hours later I look out there again and both the big dipper and the little dipper had already moved they're across the sky but that light is still in the same spot

and I couldn't figure that out man I'm like, how is the rest of the sky moving, but that light's not? And then, oh, I don't know, maybe it was 11 o'clock at night. I called Johnny out out of the garage. I said, man, dude, I said, remember when I showed you that light? He goes, yeah. I said, how many hours ago was that? It's like, I don't know, who.

And I said, look at it. He goes, it ain't moved. I said, exactly. What is it? There's some strange. stuff out there in Nevada and Oregon. Absolutely. A hundred a hundred percent. The Pacific Northwest and Nevada is extremely, extremely weird. Do you ever feel drawn to go back to that area of Oregon? Always, every day, especially ever since I joined your, uh, your, your thing, you know,

and uh uh uh uh uh darrell and man and tobe and all that

that's all I think about anymore man I wish I could get out to I wish I could win the lottery and buy all the equipment and go back out to Cottage Grove it might be empty maybe they all moved but I don't care

I still want to go out there and do it you know Curtis it's weird but I and I hear hear that same sentiment repeated by a lot of people that get drawn back to these areas. And myself, I feel, you know, the past year, I feel drawn back to the area in Oregon that I had stuff happen out in Oak Ridge on 58. And it's very weird.

It draws you back in. But you're not in Oregon right now. You're in, well, we'll just say you're not in Oregon. What made you? I'm down in Florida. Right. What made you leave the area? Was there a time in your life where you stepped away from looking at these Bigfoot-related things? No, it's always been in my head.

The reason I left the area was because I went back home, which is our south of Chicago. Start a new job, blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada. got back with old girlfriend. Okay, that's going to work out. Ended up getting married. Okay, okay, now starting my new life. And I had told my wife, my new wife, my experiences. And of course, she thought I was crazy, cuckoo.

A couple other people. So I just decided to keep my mouth shut. Just like Bill always said, just keep your mouth shut. well anyway then we i ended up buying my first computer i think that was in 99 or 2000 i can't remember so it was my first computer i finally got a computer well i'm sitting there and i'm thinking of myself okay i've got the internet what can i look for and bam let's check out bigfoot and i punched that in and then man i then i realized I'm not the only one.

There's sightings everywhere. There's almost sightings in every state, almost. Or at least one or two in every state or whatever. And then there I was. I was jacked up again, man, all back in it. I joined, what's that, BDFO or something? I can't remember. Oh, BFRO.

Yeah. Oh, okay. You know, I just started getting into everything again and then left it alone for a while, then got back into it again, and then left it alone for a while. And then left it alone for a while. And then when I saw your program with Darrell, now I'm back in it. I can't leave it alone. It's part of my life. I'll die with this. everything that I've told you today is 100% a fact. It's true. And that's what I used to tell my wife, what do you think that I sit here and just,

I'm making all this stuff up? That'd make me more of a whack job than it being real. Why did you feel it important to finally come out and share things that happened out in Oregon? Oh, with you? Yeah. Because I'm seeing everybody else doing the same thing. And like I said, I'll say it again. Darrell just, he lit the fire for me.

He's from Cottage Grove and he's basically seeing everything that I've seen, if not, and also more in the same area, Cottage Grove area. So I just felt that I had a if he did it I got to tell my story too Because everything he said is correct absolutely So you're you're saying that you think that a lot of the things you experienced were in the same area that darrell has had experiences Specifically Well as I can say is kind of his grove is not a big town true For at least back then it wasn't yeah I got you I mean, but the area, of course, is because, you know, you're in the middle of the foothills,

you're the cascades and the Blue Mountains or whatever was out there by Cottage Grove. I don't care if Darrell was 30 miles away from me. To me, I'm still going to say that's the same area. Absolutely. And your accounts and their accounts, Daryl's accounts, do have some. really big similarities. It is fascinating. Curtis, I want to make sure that you were able to share

everything that you had notated down. The light already told you about the bones. The bones that I found must have been an elk. Anyway, it was tore. That elk was tore apart. And, yeah, it had to have been the elk because it wasn't a deer. It was bigger.

that thing was tore apart I found them bones and I grabbed some bones and I brought them back to town to my sister and brother-in-law's to give to the dog and that dog when I took them out of the back of the truck

that dog ran away he didn't want anything to do with them bones I said come here man it's a freaking bone no he ran to the other side of the yard he smelt something that i didn't know anything about that was pretty odd give a dog a bone and he runs from it right wow no that's probably about it gerald curtis thank you for for coming on the show and for helping to expand what people know
