Episode Date: December 4, 2024

In this episode, the Bigfoot Society reconnects with Rod Nichols from Bexar County Bigfoot in San Antonio, Texas. Rod shares his journey into Bigfoot research, inspired by an encounter he had while on disability. He dives into his methodology of discovering 'wood structures' believed to be linked to Bigfoot and recounts various evidence and experiences. Rod discusses intriguing footprint discoveries, eerie vocalizations, and potential cryptid encounters in the region. He also touches on local lore, treasure legends, and the challenges faced by Bigfoot researchers in Texas. The episode concludes with advice to listeners on how to share their own sightings and experiences.

Mr. Rod Nichols from down there in Texas with Bear County Bigfoot. How's it going tonight, Rod? Doing great, dude. How are you, man? Doing... Man, it's probably been... I would guess a few years since we last talked on the show.

What do you think? I want to say it was like two years. Okay. And you weren't full-time at that particular time. And I think you were trying to get it to where you were doing it full-time. And I have to give you kudos, dude. I have to give you a shout-up and say, I'm super stoked to see that you're doing this full-time and all the hard work that you put into it, man.

And I'm just so grateful to be a part of what you're doing. Oh, yeah. Thank you, Rod. I really appreciate that. It is a ton of work, but it's worth it when you talk to individuals where they're like, man, I feel like I can share what's going on and I feel so much better after chatting. And that kind of thing makes all the hard work. All the hard work worth it.

But Rod, for those that aren't familiar with what it is you got going on down there, Do you mind spending a few minutes talking about Bear County Bigfoot and what it is that you do down there? Absolutely, absolutely. My name is Rod Nichols. I founded Bear County Bigfoot. I am based out of San Antonio, Texas. Bear County is the county that San Antonio is in. I got started.

I'll just reel back to the beginning a little bit and just go from there. I was somebody that was always into the subject from a young age. I felt like I was a believer from the beginning. I knew there was more out there in the world and in the United States, for that matter, than just your typical animals. You used to hear bears and cats and things like that. I knew there was more out there. And so for me, it was just something I think that was just bound to happen.

And I think it all came to a head when, unfortunately, I was on disability for my job. and I was just, I was mobile. I had really nothing else going on in my life. It was just me and my son. I watched a channel from a guy in Utah who presented his trace evidence in the form of wood structures and footprints. And we had talked about his encounters that he had with these creatures as well. But the wood structure thing really stood out to me.

It really did because if you're ignorant to the subject, you tend to believe that this is just all in Washington state, or maybe it's in Northern California, or maybe it's in Oregon, and that's where that's at. And there's just one big foot out there, and that's it, you know. And come to find out, it's a, there's a population that spans across the United States, and there are thousands of encounters and sightings of these creatures all over the United States. And I binge-watched this gentleman's channel from top to bottom. And the last video he put out was him showing everyone how he finds his trace evidence, how he finds his wood structures, his methodology, if you will. And the criteria was

you have to have a habitat that supports big game and you have to have a water source close by. And you have to look at the lay of the land, the topography and make sure that makes sense. What I mean by that is that you have to have some type of passage in and out of that piece of land. And for me, it came in the form of this Creek Greenbelt called the Salado Creek in San Antonio, which is a very historical creek for the Native Americans back in the 17 and 1800s. There was a famous battle after the, I guess, the Battle of the Alamo as well. It was part of the Texas Revolution. And understanding that this creek was very prominent, it had history,

but also understanding the history of this creek in the way that Native Americans used this creek green belt to go in and out of San Antonio. It was their highway. And lo and behold, I live on the creek, basically, my apartment complex is really a stone's throw from that creek. And I thought that was a good place to start. What he laid out to his audience was very intriguing. And he said, hey, look, if you think that this is a If you think that I'm putting you on here, here is how I find my trace evidence. And I'm going to challenge you to go out and find the same trace evidence using the methodology that I've laid out for you. So the next morning, I got up, broad-eye, bushy-tailed, and I went out to go find a wood structure. And on the same day, my son and I went out to go find a wood structure. We found a wood structure.

And that just blew my mind because I didn't think that this was something that would come to fruition. Really, you're watching it on YouTube and maybe you're watching on TV and things like that. And then there's this guy telling you, hey, look, this is how I do it and go out and try it. And man, you go out and you find exactly what you're looking for. And, you know, in the beginning, I thought, God, this has got to be a hoax. There's got to be people out there that are doing these things. And, you know, it's just this grand scheme, right? And I really feel, you know, looking back now, that was just ignorance on my part.

But that wasn't the truth. These things that I find, these wood structures that I find are very intricate. They're very crudely built. There's no uniformity to them as far as humans versus alleged cryptid-built type of wood structures. So I really come to the wood structure phenomena, and that's where I've left it. And for seven years, that was in. almost seven years, right? 2018 is when I started.

March, 2018 is when I started. So I guess about almost seven years, I, you know, I was out there in the woods. I was hooked. I was absolutely hooked. And, you know, what I found was that off of this creek, Greenbelt, there are several different wilderness parks that are heavily wooded, that have tributaries off of this creek that have. This trace evidence. I have found wood structures in several different wilderness parks.

And again, I sat there and I said, is this truly people? Is this really, is this a host of what's going on? This is really baffling. But then when I started examining these wood structures, I was looking at pieces that were 10 to 15 feet, 10 to 15 feet tall, maybe about 8 to 10 inches around, whole trees that are torn limb from limb with the roots. system still attached, pulled out of the soil and fashioned into an a frame structure or a wigwam or a lean type of structure. And then everything just started just started to try to, I guess, things started percolating in my mind as far as like, man, who is, what person is that strong to pull out a tree with the root system and then put it together into a TP or an A-frame type of structure. So again, you know, that was something that really was bathroom to me. And that's where I kept it. And, you know, my wife and I, who is out of town right now, but we have become pretty much a team.

And we've been out and searching through these wilderness parks and going through different parks, different territory alongside of this creek. And that's where we've kept it. I've dubbed myself as the wood structure guy because I've seen so many of them. And here's the interesting part about this, Jeremiah, is that I can take a lot of the wood structures that I find in my areas that I've documented and I can put them up against somebody that's found wood structures in Washington State, Oregon, Northern California, Oklahoma, Vermont, all over the U.S., because people are finding these wood structures all over the U.S. And for me, looking at the comparison of what I document up against somebody else that is a researcher in another state, why is it that these things almost look identical?

Either it's the greatest hoax known to mankind or it's a cryptic thing. And so I tend to lean towards that it is a cryptic thing. And I base this off of encounters from other people that have had interviews with various podcasts, your podcast as well. And so that's where I've kept it. And things have been going since 2018. And that's what we've been doing. Rod, wood structures, as you call them, are so interesting. And before I went out to Oregon, I,

I'll tell you the truth. I wasn't really sold on it, but then out 30 miles in the woods, man, I saw some stuff, and I was like, what is going on out here? This is not an area where just some Joe Schmoe can come

and just put something together. This is out there. So I totally get it. Now, when you're looking for these wood structures, have you found things that you know what to look for that might not stick out to the person who's just getting used to it, things that are like the telltale sign of, yeah, I've got something here? Sure, absolutely. So what I look at, first and foremost, is the design overall, the design of the wood structure overall.

And I've labeled them. And I know people that are tenured researchers have labeled these wood structures in certain categories the same way that I have. So I've got it down to wigwam, a frame, TP, and lean style structures. And recently I've started finding something that looked like a corral type of wood structure as well, where the pieces form like a horseshoe, and there's one opening in and out, and that's it. To look at the pieces that are involved, did this tree grow in this area, or was it actually pulled out of the ground, or was it deadfall, and it came from somewhere else? And also, too, the root system, that's something that's always apparent in some of these wood

structure, at least for me. The root system of some of these trees are still attached. There's no saw marks or chainsaw cuts. There's no exact cuts to some of these wood structures because these pieces have been pulled out of the ground. Also, too, there are some type of weaving that these things are subjected to, as far as the construction goes, there's smaller sticks that are woven in and out. Sometimes they'll use the palmetto leaves, which is a very long, narrow type of leaf, and they'll take them, and they'll take these palmetto leaves and maybe make a knot and tie other pieces together. But the one thing that stands out to me in all this stuff is that the overall construction of these wood structures are very crude. There is no uniformity to these things. So

it's, and the reason why I said that is because I always get the, what if it's bushcraft rod? And it's the Boy Scouts that are doing this stuff. And maybe there's a guy teaching a bushcraft class and you just didn't get there in time or whatever. And my answer to that is that I know what bushcraft looks like. There's uniformity. Usually there's, There's a hand saw involved, so there are exact cuts. And some of these bushcraft shelters are very low to the ground. They're not grand in stature. And some of these wood structures that I have found are very grand in stature.

I'm about 5'10. I have found wood structures that I can stand up in very easily and still have about five or six inches to the ceiling. You know, what or who is building these, I have no idea. but they are very crudely. It's almost, I almost want to say it's a caveman built these things. There's rocks inside. There's big rocks inside of these things.

There's big pieces. There's small pieces. But there's no uniformity. So with bushcraft, there's more uniformity in the pieces. There's more strat in bushcraft. These things are just thrown together and woven and woven and crudely built. So those are the things that I look for as far as, as going out into the deeper areas, I have found wood structures out there, but also, too,

I am of the mindset that these creatures will use creek and creek green belts that are in suburban areas and build wood structures off of these creeks as well in and around suburban areas. And a lot of people don't want to believe that. But I think that when you put yourself in that pigeonhole, you are just throwing, what is the, I guess the same, you're throwing the bathwater out without the baby or something. I think I got that wrong. But I think that these things really utilize Creek Greenbelts. They follow the food source throughout those Creek Greenbelt, but also, too, they will build these wood structures in and around suburban areas. and also out in the middle of nowhere, so to speak.

There you go. Have you ever experienced looking inside of one of these structures, and have you ever found any hair inside of any of them at all? I have. I have found some hair samples. I don't know exactly. And so here's the thing. As a DIY researcher, some of the resources that I have,

I have to dig around to find somebody that may be able to, analyze it or lower a lower cost or for free or find a university. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. Let's go, girls.

I have found hair samples. I guess the jury's out on that because I don't know exactly where it came from. They were longer pieces of hair, longer strands of hair. But then again, I don't know if it came from a possum or a raccoon or things like that. But also, the one thing I do look for are prints around inside and around these wood structures. And I have found prints. I have about three casts that I've done myself that have been around in the areas that I have been documenting for a few years as well. Those are the kind of things that kind of look for, but also, too, you know, I have to really debunk myself.

I really feel like, you know, if you want it to be Bigfoot, you can make it Bigfoot. You know what I'm saying? I think as far as Peridoya is concerned, you've got that element, but also, too, as a researcher, you really have to separate yourself from what you're looking at and go, I have to use creativity. critical thinking, is this people? Let's look at these pieces. What does it look like? Is it homeless people? Is it this? Is it that? And then when I can't, you know, when I can't think of anything else and I come to that conclusion where, well, man, I have no idea what this is, then I think I have something. So that's how I play with the areas that I have documented over the past seven years. I think that's a smart approach to have a discerning eye on things as you do.

Have you ever had any weird things happen after going into a structure or spending time around one? I've gotten reports sometimes where people will have weird after effects or dreams or anything out of the ordinary like that. Yeah, here's one thing that I hold to. Number one, I don't own the land that I'm documenting these structures. It's not like I can sit there and go, no, this is my spot. You can't come out here. Hey, if you happen to find one and you document it, it's in an area that I've been researching, great, awesome. I'd love to hear your input. I'm not stingy that way. The other thing is I've gotten into areas where I've I found footprints. I found a grand structure. And it's in an area where there's nobody around, absolutely nobody around. And it gets a little eerie. I hate to get into the, to be like, I don't know, how do I say this? I don't know if it's a woo thing. But I, everybody has something inside of them that can tell them, hey, this doesn't feel you probably should go. And I've been in situations like that where I have felt really on edge and I don't know why.

Recently, not recently, I would say maybe about about a year ago, my youngest daughter found a few tracks in an area that I had never been to in a wilderness park. And it was family time. I was trying to just shut everything off and, you know, have fun with my wife and my youngest daughter. And I found out that I just can't shut it off. When I'm in a wilderness park, it's go time. She found, you know, a few tracks, and we went down into a holler and found a bunch of wood structures.

I would say like maybe five or six wood structures that were just amazing to me. And one of the things that I took note of was I looked at my daughter and she was on edge. I was on edge. She was. I really feel like she's an empath in a lot of ways. And she was really adamant about leaving out of the area quick. And it was getting dark. It was getting dusky.

And she said, we got to go. We got to go. We got to go. And I'm like, wait, what's going on? What, are you okay? No, we have to go right now. And I'm like, what? She's like, I feel like something is watching me and it feels ugly.

We have to go. So, you know, I've had things like that happen. And I pay attention, especially if you have kids with you or teenagers, the younger people, you know, I feel like sometimes they're a little bit more in tune than us adults are you know, and I took he did that and I was like, wow, you really felt like like something was watching. He said, yeah, I felt like

something was staring at me and I I was like, okay, great. But beyond that, my wife and I had gone to a newer area and this was about a year and a half ago, South San Antonio off of the same Creek Greenbelt and this area was different. It was way different.

I had never seen San Antonio like this because it was so different. There was a fresh spring that brought out some really nice, clean, clear water in this creek that I had never seen. I, you know, some largemouth bass were in there. I found freshwater clams that were in that area off that creek as well, that with the running water. And the reason why we went there, my wife and I was because a gentleman had messaged me on Instagram talking about his daughter that had gone out

to that same area, that same world in his park and she had something growl at her behind some thick brush and she was on the paved trail walking or jogging or whatever she had two full-grown huskies and the dad had said these huskies will protect

my daughter tooth and nail well when this thing vocalized and projected a boistered vocal at her and her huskies, the dogs just tucked tail and they wanted nothing to do with this thing, whatever it was. They were scared. She ran off and got in her car and took off and then, you know, messaged your dad and told her, told him what had happened. He messaged me and said, hey, could you go out to this area? This is what happened to my daughter and investigate it. I said, absolutely, because that's what we do. So my wife and I went out there and we dug a little deeper

went out in this area where it was just overgrown. It was just massive cypress trees and just beautiful foliage. The vegetation was awesome. And we went out in this area where people don't go. And we got a growl. We got a growl projected at us. And my wife was the first one because he was in front of me. And she turned around after we had this growl happen.

She turned around and looked at me with these, frozen like these scared eyes and she was frozen I was frozen and she said did you effing hear that and I said yes I did and that was something that we had never encountered a vocal like that

but at the same time that vocal was projected at us it was from across the creek then I don't know I say it's an island area but it was across the water across the creek that vocal came at us and then there was this

high ground that was probably about 15, 20 feet up at the hill that went up in an upgrade. And up on top of that area were other trails, but you can see these little saplings and all these trees that were, you can see the tops of them from the area, the spot that we were at. And something was flanking us at the same time that we had this vocalization projected at us. And I want to say I felt like it was bipedal steps. This thing was flanking us. And I could see that the sapling, the smaller trees, the tops of them shaking.

Whenever this thing walked by, it's almost like it was grabbing trees and shaking them. And the one thing that I took note of was that when I pulled my camera out, my phone, to document and record this activity, it would stop. It would completely stop. and then I put my phone away and then it would stop back up and follow us. And I'd pull my phone back out. It would stop. And it was just a very odd situation.

But one of the things that we took note of mostly was this growl. It was a low guttural growl. And the only way I can describe it was that it was very, it had a lot of resonance to it. It was low guttural. It almost was equivalent to, I want to say like an 808 bass hit on a hip-hop. record. You know what I mean? Like you have that 808 bass that goes was a vocal that resonated just like that and was low and guttural and it rattled you from the inside and instantly instilled fear in me and my wife. And so when that happened, we were just freaking out. And the only thing

I could think of was to get my wife out of there, to take care of her first. It wasn't, I'd pull my phone out and video this because that's the last thing that's on my mind. I'm thinking about my wife and getting her out there and getting her safe and back to the car. So we just slowly backed away after this growl, got back in the car and we sat there for a minute just staring at nothing going, well, what just happened to us? We had no idea. That was probably one of the most intense situations that we had been in. And that was about a year and a half ago. And ever since then, we've been going back there to try and document a few things, hopefully another vocal, which we have not been able to document since then.

But we have found some trace evidence in the form of some wood structures, tree breaks, things like that. So that's probably the most intense, I think, that we've, or things that have happened to us. That is so interesting. And I bet that really changed your wife. what was her viewpoint towards Bigfoot before that happened to her it's funny Jeremiah

when we were dating I thought to myself I'm gonna tell her exactly what I do and what I'm about I'm gonna show with a crazy up front you're gonna see it up front

and you decide whether if you want to just not date me anymore and go away or you're gonna embrace it and she embraced it she was intrigued by it I don't know

if she was fully on board at that time when I was showing her some of the wood structures, because our second date literally was me showing her some wood structures. And so when that growl was projected at us, I think that changed her mind. I think she changed it to, there's something out there.

I don't know what it is, but it's scary. And whatever it is, it's got the attributes of a maybe some type, because to me, I think it sounded like an eighth. in a way. And I think maybe that was something that she was thinking as well. Going back to when we first started dating, that was something that really wasn't on our mind. I don't think she really

even thought about the subject at all. Interesting. This area that you're starting to focus on, have there been other, besides the individual that reached out to you, have there been other instances of things being seen and experienced by other people in the same area? I had posted a just a real quick video about what we experienced a while back. I think was maybe about a few weeks, two or three weeks after that we had

encountered. We had this vocalization projected as. And I had a couple of people on my group page and on Facebook reached out to me and say, hey, like I've heard about that area and I've heard of people experiencing vocals.

I've heard people experiencing somebody, something flanking them. So there has been, at least a couple of people who reached out to me and had told me that, yeah, this area has had some things happen. Now, these are not documented sightings or encounters at all, but the fact that people knew the area, knew what I was talking about, knew where we were, and said, I've been there and yeah, it's sus. But I also have heard so-and-so had this happen to them, or so-and-so had this happen to them. out in that area. That kind of solidified it for me as far as it being somewhat active.

And, you know, at that time, we had never had anything happen to us like that ever. I'd never had anything like that happen to me. You know, when these things happen to you, you can sit there and think about, you almost think about life in a way. You're like, what my belief system? What have I been believing in? Like, this is just, this is insane. Like I can't match this vocal up to anything that's indigenous to our area. So it was very, very intense and my wife was pretty shooking up. But I think that gave us more ammunition to go back out and try to pursue maybe another interaction of some sort. We'll see.

I've yet to have anything happen in that area yet, but again, I do know this. Interaction of these creatures is very rare. It's not something that just, you just walk out in the wood that just happens. It doesn't happen like that. I think being diligent and being consistent is the key factor here with that area. So that's what we're hoping for maybe another interaction of some sort. I don't know. So when you go out there, do you have pieces of equipment out with you trying to capture audio

or do you have cameras with you, things like that? Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. Let's go, girls. So this is the little pink pill everyone's been talking about.

at your local retailer. Mabelene, New York. What I come equipped with are audio recorders. I have not deployed an audio recorder out there yet only because I am very... Number one, these things are expensive. And number two, I... really, I don't know if you say I'm just, I'm not slow in deploying these things. I really want to

make sure that I find a good spot and really get a good understanding of the topography of the area as well, which I have been studying for a while now. And I have not deployed anything yet, but that is something that I'm going to do. And I really believe that this area that we have have been going out and documenting is active. And I have a feeling that, I have a feeling that it's a whole different situation at night. I really do. I just need to find the right spot to deploy that voice recorder. I do have game cams.

Frustrating thing about game cams is that I really feel like these creatures can see IR. And I think that just tips them off. And I think if you really want to stop activity, put out some game cams. It'll put it to home. And this is something I'm basing off of several different researchers that I have talked to and other eyewitness accounts and interviews as well. So I think the key thing here for me is to focus on the audio. And that's where we're going to go with that particular area.

I think that's a great idea. Besides this one area, have people been reaching out to you about things they've encountered from other parts of the county in San Antonio as well? I have not had anybody come out and let me know about their encounters. Oh, actually, you know what? No, I take that back there, there was a lady, 72-year-old woman very nice. nice lady. She had an encounter back in 2005. I interviewed her about, oh gosh, come to see about five months ago. Five months ago, she sat down and talked to me over the phone.

She didn't want to be recorded, so I had to write everything down on a notebook. And she had described a Sasquatch, that is what she believed was a Sasquatch, that stood up and walked in front of them in an area that was a part of that creek greenbelt. The Salado Creek just so you know goes all the way north outside of San Antonio, but the southern part of that Salado Creek goes all the way down into other towns in South Texas, It's a very long, vast creek. And alongside of that creek, you also have what's called the Medina River. And the Medina River runs a little close to some of that creek as well.

And so she was at an area, and she described it to me. She was out there in her car with her sister. And her sister had her daughter-in-law with her as well. They were trying to just get some fresh air and hang out. And they went to an area that's known as Donkey Lady Bridge. And if you know about Donkey Lady Bridge, it's a San Antonio. I'm going to say folklore. There's this bridge out there.

It's a little bit outside of San Antonio on the southern end. And it's said that if you go out there at night and I forgot what type of ritual you have to do or something, you can hear like cliffs walking across this bridge and you can hear something like a donkey and that scares people. And so people come out there to try to get into some of that stuff and they think it's fun or whatever. But this particular time that she was out there was during the day, it was that night. And she went across the bridge, parked her car in an area where I think there was more of an open field with some trees. And they were looking out into this area. And she noticed a particular tree where she saw a hand and all.

come around this tree, grab it, and something stood up, peeked out behind the tree, and then walked out away from that tree, and she said it was a Sasquatch. She described it as female because she saw the breasts on this particular creature. She had described the hair as being a, I think, that dark brown, dark reddish, long hair that was probably about three or four inches long off of the creature. She said it locked eyes with her. And she said it walked exactly the Patty did. It walked just like that, just turning around and staring at them and just kept on walking.

And it went behind some type of a shed. There's a lot of ranches and stuff that are out there. And so you'll have, you know, different various like little buildings and sheds and things like that, some of these ranches, I think that's what they were, I think that was, that was an area where there was some type of private property where this creature was walking through. And it went behind the shed, she said, and it just, it never came back out. She said, either it disappeared or it just went behind that shed and just stayed there. And she described it to a team. And it lined up with a lot of encounters that I've heard, as far as the color of the hair, the mannerisms, the way

this thing, walked, all of these things. And it just lined up. And she said, it locked eyes with me. And, you know, as soon as it locked eyes with me, my sister and her daughter-in-law just came unglued. They were freaking out. Like, you need to go, you know, start the car. We need to go with you. They were freaking out. And she froze. And she was just staring at this thing. So that was probably one of the only encounters that I have had. anybody come out and talk to me about. Whether or not there have been any more, I have yet to find out, because, you know, and you know as well as I do, people, you know, they're reluctant to talk about their encounters because there's ridicule, there's, you know, PTSD. Maybe it wasn't

a good encounter at all, you know, and these people are scared to death to talk about and relive this stuff. This lady was gracious enough to tell me about her encounter. And so, I'm hoping that I can get back out in that area. I've been talking to her a little bit here and there to see if I can get her back out to where I can video and have a recall what happens. I'm hoping to do that hopefully this year or maybe next year. But that was probably one of the more, I wouldn't say class A siding that I've heard of in my area. I don't know. I mean, we have encounters that date back to the 70s, though.

You know, so you've got the Olivari family back in 1972. They lived up against a wooded area that was close to an Air Force base called Kelly Air Force Base. And they saw this creature walking by their backyard in this heavily wooded area. The neighbor next door had a juvenile that was sitting on her back porch, back porch steps. She looked out of her kitchen window at the back porch and saw this hairy little creature, sitting on her steps and told it to leave and shoot it away. It got up and ran off. And this was actually documented in the local newspaper as well. We do have a history of sightings and encounters with these features. The only one that I have heard of that was,

you know, what I described was with that particular lady, I think was around 2005. That docky lady bridge account is just fascinating. Have you ever thought yourself, Is a visual something that you would like to experience yourself? What's funny, I remember being on the show with you the first time. And I remember telling you distinctively, I don't think I want an encounter, which was, which is, I had no idea why I said that. Because I was thinking about just encounters from other people where they were just, they were scary. and I'm sitting there going, I'm in the field, and I don't want to see this thing. Like, why is that?

As I've progressed in my research and documentation, things like that, yeah, I would love to see one. I would love to see one probably about 500 yards away, maybe give me a good running start away from this thing. But, yeah, I think I would like to see or encounter one of these creatures. And you know what? Here's the thing. I think, you know, maybe I have. These creatures are very cunning. They're very, they know how to camouflage. They're the master of camouflaging of, they're the apex predator out there. So maybe I had passed right by one of them in one of my areas and never knew it. But yeah, I think I would like to, I think a glance at one of these things. So I've changed my mind. There you go. There you go. It's been a while. Hey, that's awesome. I hope that you do have something happened down there. And I think if you keep going out with your wife like you've been doing, there's a big chance that you may, the whole be careful what you wish for is what people told me over the last few years and probably say the same back towards you as well. But man, I would say if people are listening and it's crazy how many people listen to this thing, it's wild. Just the people. that reach out, man, never thought that kind of person would listen to this, which is great. But I'm sure there'll be more than a few people that will see. I'll have San Antonio, Texas,

on the cover, and maybe they have things they've experienced in this area. And I would really recommend, you're always welcome to reach out to me. But the cool thing about Rod is he's an individual that this is his base in San Antonio area and Bear County. And so he's the, type of guy that you would want to reach out to in order to make sure that he knows what areas are the hot areas and maybe he can even talk to you directly and start to find other areas besides the one he's currently focusing on as well. So is there a way that people can reach out to you around? Yeah, I'm on all the socials, Instagram, Bear County Bigfoot, TikTok, Bear County Bigfoot. I do have a private group on Facebook.

which is, again, Bear County Bigfoot. I also have two other pages that I have acquired. One of them is called Bigfoot 101. And the other one is called South Texas Monster Hunter. So I've got three different groups, three different pages on Facebook as well. And I'll say this. You know, when I tell people San Antonio, Texas, a lot of times it's, no, there's no way Sasquatch would be in San Antonio. And my response to that is really?

Like you're going to put these creatures in a box and go, there's no way. There's no way they could be there. There's no way they could be, you know, they can go through this creek or through suburban areas. These creatures are opportunistic. They really are. They're not above dumpster diving. They're not above getting an easy meal. The area that I research is off of Salado Creek again.

But the really interesting part about this, Jeremiah, is that. San Antonio literally sits on top of an underground cavern. In fact, we get our water from what's called the Edwards Underground Aquifer. And it is an underground cavern where we get our water. Now, the Edwards Underground Aquifer literally stretches from San Antonio to Austin. That's about, what, 75, 80 miles from San Antonio, Austin. That is a big underground cavern. The working theory that they have is this.

They utilize the Salado Creek adds their highway to hunt. I believe this hunting is done mostly at night, and we've got tons of white-tailed deer that are out there very healthy. There's no hunting in these areas. So they are healthy and looking good. So you've got a great food source in the form of this white-tailed deer. Also, we've got several water sources that run away. alongside this creek as well, but also, too, that the most northern part of this creek,

it goes right into a military base that has a vast, thick, open area. Again, if we're talking about Apex Printer that is a master of masking and camouflaging, I can, they're probably going up in this area and you would never know where to look because it is so thick, It is so vast. But also, too, that area is what's called the Edwards Underground Occupor Recharge Zone. And that is where, when it rains, that is where we grab some of our water. I have a theory that these things may be residing underground. They come out at night, do their hunting off of this creek, get their kill, come back, go back underground.

Now, again, it's a theory. I have not been able to find an opening that is big enough, but I do know that there are caves back there. I just haven't been able to get out there in those thicker areas yet to discover that. And I'm hoping that I do. Man, wouldn't it be something if someone reached out because of this is, hey, I've seen him going to the caves or I had a sighting right next to that military base, man, Rod, I got a feeling some crazy stuff might come out of this interview. it does for you. I think so. And I think that if you're somebody that, you know, wants to reach out, please do. There's no judgment with me at all. If you think it's outrageous or weird, I wouldn't hear about it. My philosophy on this is that if you're open to some of it, you have to be open to all

of it. You really do. I think that's a great way to look at it. You got to have an open mind and not put it in a box but man rod what what a fun conversation about an area we don't really talk about a lot but you are doing some great work really getting into it getting your whole family involved and i love it big for society will be right back after these messages let's go girls so this is the little pink pill everyone's been talking about yep that's addy good things do come in small packages and addy is definitely a good thing.

Do you have any closing words as we start to wrap up our time here tonight? I'm just going to say this. There's a reason why we've got Aaron Dees that lives in San Antonio from Small Town Monsters. He lives here. Ken Gerhard lives here. Ryan Edwards lives here. I'm very blessed that I've got friends that I can reach out that live in the same city and bounce ideas off and ask questions.

I'm very blessed in that area. And so when you think of San Antonio, there's activity going on. I guarantee you there is. And my part of what I try to convey is don't leave us out because we've got stuff going on here too as well. And just because, again, it's a big city or it's a city that's growing that there couldn't be any type of activity cryptowise going on, I beg to differ. I really do. You know, I would say, hey, come out, talk to me, get a hold of me. I would love to hear your stories.

I would love to talk to you. Awesome. Well, Rod, thank you for coming back on the show, and we'll have to definitely stay in touch. Let me know if there's any updates from your research in the future, and we'll have to talk to you again at a later time. Man, I appreciate you, and I appreciate your time. I have so much respect for what you do, Jeremiah. And again, kudos to you, man, for making the... this a full-time thing and putting in all the hard work.

And I think more good things to come in your way, brother. Thank you, Rod. Faisy had going on there, but it's up to you whatever you do. Okay. Yeah, listen, I'm driving for 25 years. I haven't seen no, I can be saved, but you know what? I've been through mostly every forestal area from New Hampshire all the way over Oregon, Washington, Mendocino.

I've been, but listen, this year for the first time. I'm in my infinite wisdom, right? It was late winter time. I was in Wyoming. Let me get the map outside. I could be the exact spot. I have this vivid map of the United States in my head. I could travel everywhere out of map,

but I want to get this exact spot. Maybe somebody else would call in, right? So listen, I had in that month of March, I was out in, actually I was out in Lander, shut down for about, last year was about three days. And in this year, late in the year, shut down for about three days in Lander. and we sat there. I was speaking with some guys that worked for the department of whatever wildlife

national parks. These guys make the snowmobile routes. So I figured I'd ask about Bigfoot. They laughed at me, which it doesn't hurt my feelings because I'm never going to stop asking. When I believe in something or I think something is in my brain just hitting it and I think it's possible in reality, whatever it is, I'll hit it and look for it. But anyways, I come over to Warland. I think It was in either Warland or Thermopolis. But I was loading twice empty Pepsi soda cans. Going to server distributors around the nation, right? So me and my infinite wisdom this one trip,

I didn't want to go all the way back south and grab by, what is it, I, 80. So I said it's about 2 o'clock. If I can make it a big horn, I had never been to that stretch. I'm always trying to do stupid stuff like this, right? But being an experienced truck driver, I know what I can handle. Now that this other guy was speaking about Cortez, that 550 going up, Cortez is amazing. But as a truck driver, you don't want to do that in winter.

So anyways, I'm coming up Big Horn and I, you know, I look at the map, I look at Accuweather. It looks like it's great. So I come up the freaking mountain, and I'm thinking, if I could just make it over the top by 315, I'll be over it, and I could land on the other side. It was a great mistake. I put myself in this situation where I had to call my son.

I always call my kids. They're already young adults. So every time I find myself in a bad situation, I'll call one of my kids and tell me, listen, this is where I'm at. If I don't call you back in 30 minutes, you might want to call state troopers to look for me up there because I didn't make it across.

And so obviously when you get up top of these peaks, you learn as a truck driver that whatever the weather was like down or closer to which is not sea level, The lower you are, whatever, 2,000, 3,000 feet above sea level. It's nothing like what you're going to be at 4,500 feet, 5,000. Me and my infinite wisdom, I'm like, again, coming up, big horn mountains. It was a great scenery coming all the way up. I was light, so it wasn't really a scary issue because I'm really scared of on heavy.

So I was light. I make it at the top of the mountain. But at the rate of speed I was going because it wasn't snowing, but all the snow that had fallen was drifting into the road, but it was already about 22 degrees, 25 degrees. So it was freezing on the road at this time. And of course, the way the sun is setting, as you're coming up is, I believe it's Highway 14.

I want to see it for, hold on, let me get the map. No, I'm lying. It's Highway 16 or 15, whatever it is. But anyways, while I'm coming up this highway, right? And the sun's setting, of course, that's to the west. So as you're coming up this highway, the highest peak of the mountain sits to your left, because I'm trying to hit I-90, so I'm basically going north or actually east.

So the sun's hitting the road. It's freezing the snow that's drifting over. When I get to the high, I already call my son, let them know. If I don't make it across in about an hour, I'm going to need you to do something for me. So just because I do signal and I can't reach somebody because it's happened before. But I get to the top of the mountain, the highest peak of the mountain, and I'm just glad the sun isn't all the way down because we're not hitting 15, 12 degrees, whatever it is. But as I'm going to the top of the mountain, something went across from the lower point, from the right, over to the left. The size of the footprints.

And I've heard because I've never seen Bigfoot tracks. I've never gone out on teen. There's a lot of people in New Mexico off that 60 highway, all that stuff. And our closest forest is Redosso, New Mexico, Miscolero Mountains, whatever. But I've never done this. You know, I've just been truck driving is what I've been doing. But the size of these footprints were enormous. and I can see them from far away.

Because at this, if you contemplate on the weather and the way the road condition is, I'm not going to do over 20 miles an hour. But I'm going to be steady at 20 miles an hour because that's my experience. I can handle my vehicle. As I'm hitting these tracks, it's amazing. And I've heard bear tracks step,

the bear kind of steps right over its own foot. So they look enormous. But the spread between each track must have been about, And I never got off my vehicle. Must have been about six feet apart. That's just a sitting at the top of my rig. As I'm coming by and I see this set of tracks going over the road. And then he went over a barbed wire fence must have been about four and a half five feet tall.

The way the tracks looked going over the road, over the barbed wire, seems like it was Andre the Giant went over that wrestling rope by the wrestling ring. It just, it looked like at anyone else. I thought to myself, it must have been about it. bear. But because I'm a fearful person and I believe in my instinct, I didn't stop. I did want to stop and take a picture, but I said, if it is what I think it is, do I want to be caught off my vehicle? I see conditions. And then risking it, my vehicle is not going to have the traction I already have. I'm not stupid. I'm going to put myself in that situation. So these people want to be in a ranch or

go wherever they are. What are you going to do in front of one of these creatures? Pray to God. that's about the last thing you have. So I drove by it, I looked at it. So when I got over to Buffalo, there's a little truck stop as soon as you hit I-90, right? Before you hit I night, I think it's a sinker or whatever it is. There's a young man in there. So I go in there, warm up the soup, whatever.

It's a cold night. I'm glad I made it down the mountain. I call my son. And when I walk in a truck stop, as a young kid, I'm like, listen, I have a question. Have you lived areas? Yeah, I lived on my life. I'm like, do you hunt?

Yeah, of course. That's Buffalo. We aren't here. That's what we grow doing. I'm like, listen, is there a bear? Is there, are there bears out there right now? He said, there's bears, but there is no bears. It's mid-March, late March. They don't come out to about late April at hibernation. I'm like, wow, I never took that. Because I'm from the desert. I don't know this stuff. I never took any perspective. I'm like, are you serious? So at this time, there's two hunters walking in, right? And he goes, why is that? I'm like, dude, I've seen some tracks on top of. of Bighorn, I'm talking about huge tracks and the spread between each footprint was just,

I didn't stop and take pictures. I'll tell you what I saw. He goes, yeah, buddy, there's no bears right now. I'm like, what about Bigfoot? And as I'm talking, I didn't realize these hunters were grabbing coffee listening to me, right? They're a little older, about 30, 35. And when I'm asking me, listen, where did you see this again? I'm like, at the highest point of the Big Horn Mountains coming up this highway,

1650, whatever it was. Jeremiah, they did not hesitate. They grabbed their coffee, they paid for it, and they ran out that way. Now, this is the thing. Whatever made these tracks, I firmly believe there were not hoaxes because the way the snow drifts,

the way as you step on snow, I would have seen somebody else's tracks. Like if there was people faking these tracks, you would have been able to see these tracks all around these. big footprints. Whatever did these prints like, it was just amazing. That's the only thing I've seen.

Now, on a different occasion, down by grapevine, I was at a pilot truck stop in California, close to where these people were just talking about this, whatever, right? There's some guys in the U.S. Department of Forestry. This is back in 2022, 23, I want to say, early 23, late 22. I was up in the Lincoln National Forest, and I didn't see anything. I didn't. whatever. I just felt there's this eerie feeling like I'm telling you. I've been through all these forests. There's an eerie feeling there. Up on that U.S. Highway 20 in Oregon leading up to Portland.

Dude, that is amazing forestry. And Bigfoot lives somewhere. That's a perfect area. Now, Lincoln National Force and other, I mean, I've been through Osamity. I've been to Yellowstone. I've been through, like I've said, there's only one other spot that I've been, that I didn't know existed. after all these years of driving was coming in from Wisconsin for the Madison area I didn't know you could reach over to Michigan through the top part I didn't know that existed

so when I did go through there and I seen these big old wood carvings that people made of Bigfoot that's another area that you know what if that beast exists that's a perfect area but anyways back to my great mind story two kids from you as a part I call them kids because you're younger than 30 years old

right so they got the U.S. Department of Forestry, I asked them flat out, and I'm like, listen, I can ask you a question like what? Same way I ask these other people that work for those, of making these snowmobile routes in Miami. As these guys in the U.S. Department of Forestry, I'm like, do you guys believe in Bigfoot? Is there something in, and then one of them jumps up, and without no ridicule to my comment, his eyes open up, and he says, listen, I was stationed up in the Lincoln National park for about two years. He said, I'm going to tell you one thing. I don't know if it's Bigfoot, but there's something up on those mountains, and it was so severe that we couldn't go out

on our own. We had to have a partner with us at all times. That's all he said. But by the look in his face, and then the other one, I guess they had just been assigned in the same area recently, the other one talked about Mendocino. I don't know if you heard about Mendocino, but it's beautiful. It reminds me a lot of that organ stretch. And he also had an encounter in Mendocino, and he said that same situation. There was a moment of Mendocino where they had to go out in groups. They couldn't go out on their own. And it wasn't safe for them, especially at night.

Could have been a cooler or whatever. But the way he touched on the topic, he never mentioned a feline. He never mentioned a bear. As the other one mentioned about Lincoln National Forest and whatever, it was something that they don't know and explained, he emphasized that in Mendocino they encounter. something similar. And that's about it. And it's just, that's all I have to say about that topic. It's, and I'm hoping one of these days, like I'm traveling through all these sorts, but then I hear

all these stories, the way Bigfoot would just sit there, clumped himself down and he'll look like a tree truck. Am I going to see him going through a highway at 45 miles an hour? Probably not. But these eerie feelings you get all through Oregon, Washington, it's just amazing. There's something you can feel it. And like people say, there's a instinct that we have, a survival instinct mechanism. And I believe it, and hopefully you get encountered. I've been hearing these Iowa encounters. Oh, and I had one more thing I wanted to tell you when I gave you my number on email. You had a gentleman talking about, and this is so weird because I thought we're Hispanic. My family's been, we've been around the Rio Grande for over 100 years.

I used to hear my great grandmother when this, I think it was Brown Dorff, talking about how his grandparents or his grandpa. Or T.J. took a lot of knowledge with him when they passed away, right? My great grandparents used to talk about a big ball of fire moving through the hills and the mountains, because we're at the base of the Rocky Mountains, right? They talked about this ball of fire moving, and it signified there was a treasure. I had never heard somebody out of our culture, as this one guy from Oklahoma did about a month ago. I forget his name because I don't pay attention to these names. But he was talking about Oklahoma.

I think he's a forget the name of their tribe. But he's a tribal person. Bear Creek, I believe it was, Bear Creek Nation. Maybe that's in Minnesota or Wisconsin. I'm not sure, but I think he said this, Bear Creek. They're talking about, he was talking about, he thought Bigfoot was taking care of some kind of treasure that the Spaniards might have left behind.

And these or balls of fire always, came about where these treasures were at. It's insane because my great grandparents would talk about that. And hearing somebody else from over 800 miles away talk about the same

topic, now there's no doubt in my mind. My great grandparents weren't crazy. There's a lot of things we want to think they're crazy because they're older people. They have no technology in their heads. And all they know is basic roots of truth. They knew how to cure you from

disease by taking you in animal stalls like the goat stalls or the cow stalls. And now we realize that having exposure to this positive bacteria creates enzymes in your own positive enzymes that actually boost your immune system. These people were actually very nature savvy. But this story about the balls of fire, this gentleman from Oklahoma talked about just really triggered me. I had a comment to you and let you know what your mind. He's on to something. I don't know what he's on to, but I remember these stories from my great grandparents, my grandparents, my mom, they all passed away already,

but I clearly remember these stories of a ball of fire. And all my friends all around El Paso, Texas area, they all know about this. The people that grew up and have grandparents that grew up in that area, we all know about this story about balls, and it all goes back to Pancho Villa. Pancho Villa is a Mexican revolutionary, right?

And supposedly he stole a lot of money from the rich. It's like the Peter Pan, if you will. Took a lot of money from the rich and gave it to the poor. but a lot of this money fortune treasure whatever you're going to call it he couldn't carry it in these carriages or his horses and mules she had to bury it and come back for it later but as the u.s. military hunting up down somewhere in parral or whatever it was in chihuahua he was never able to come back for these treasures hidden fortunes and supposedly that's where you see these balls of fire come out because it makes sense if you have some kind of element like some kind of mineral like iron or

whatever under zero oxygen circumstances buried in the ground they might produce gas like h2s like oil you know i work at an oil field and this might produce a ball of fire eventually if you get the perfect spark or whatever but i don't know i've never i'm not a scientist that i've won this stuff but it makes sense if you just take the root of what these people are talking about and then now you get this guy from oklahoma talking about the same scenario basically it's just a intriguing. Wow. All this time I've been putting it aside thinking my great grandparents are crazy, but this guy just hit something that nobody should know out of our culture, because that's our thinking. He's just hitting. But yeah, Jeremiah, you got a great scenario going on for everybody. Thank you. You're going to take me all throughout.
