Bigfoot Society - The Sasquatch That Snapped Back in Bangor!

Episode Date: June 24, 2025

What happens when a lifelong Mainer and former hunter finds himself face-to-face with something no forest training could explain? In this gripping and eerie episode of Bigfoot Society, we meet Clark ��� a diesel mechanic from the Bangor area — who shares the moment he broke a branch in the woods, only to hear something impossibly powerful respond in kind. From tree snaps that shook the forest to piles of scat larger than any bear could leave, Clark's encounter changed everything he thought he knew about the wilderness of Maine. You'll hear firsthand stories from Hudson, Millinocket, and beyond — including local legends of “hairy killers” on sacred mountains and terrifying warnings left behind in the woods. If you think you know Maine… think again.🗣️ Share Your StoryHad a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?Send it to [e-mail] – your story might be featured on the show!🎥 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube🔴 Subscribe here → Bigfoot Society YouTube💬 Leave a comment & let us know your thoughts!📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → Speakpipe (Use multiple voicemails if needed)👥 Share this episode → Watch & Share🎧 More episodes → Podcast Playlist🌲 Recommended: New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters💥 Support the Show & Get Perks✅ Join the community on Patreon – Become a Member✅ Listen ad-free & early on YouTube – Join Here📱 Let’s ConnectInstagram: @bigfootsocietyTwitter: @bigfoot_societyTikTok: @bigfoot.society🧰 Tools & Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)These help support the show at no extra cost to you:Beam (Better Sleep): Try BeamWildgrain (Better Bread): Join HereSeed (Probiotics): Get SeedMedi-Share (Healthcare): Learn MoreLMNT (Electrolytes) Free Sample Pack with your first purchase! : Get LMNT🎙️ Podcasting Tools:Repurpose.io: Try ItDescript: Sign UpStreamyard: Start RecordingRiverside.fm: Try Riverside🎧 My Audio Interface: View on Amazon☕ Buy Me a Coffee – Support Here🛍️ Grab Some Merch – Shop on Etsy📬 Mailing Address:Bigfoot Society125 E 1st St. #233Earlham, IA 50072📧 Business Inquiries:[e-mail]

Hi, my name is Daniel Perez, editor and publisher of the Bigfoot Times, and you're listening to Bigfoot Society podcast. You're listening to Bigfoot Society, and this is your host, Jeremiah and Byron. Tonight's account is from a man who spent decades fixing engines and not chasing legends until one day in the backwoods outside Bangor, Maine.

Something responded to him in a way he'll never forget. So this is a story of Clark in the day the forest cracked back, so stay with us. All right, Bigfoot Society. You've got the privilege of talking to Clark today. Clark is an individual that's had some interesting things happen in the Bangor, Maine area. We were just talking before the show started that this is probably one of the first times I've been able to talk to an individual from Maine on the show. Clark is also a former hunter and a mechanic as well, specifically a diesel mechanic. So welcome to the show, Clark, how's it going today?

Good. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Absolutely. You know, and you're probably aware of this because you also told me you're a listener of the show. But it's always fun to talk to individuals from New England. I myself grew up in Western Massachusetts, close to the New Hampshire border. and you know it's just it's a it's a privilege to be able to get someone from this region to be able to share recorded just because it is a you know a lot of people are very tight-lipped as we were talking about so it's a oh absolutely absolutely you know you have to really get to know a person for a few years or more before they'll open up to you but I appreciate you coming on on the show today Clark and I want to make sure that you know, we make the best use of our time. So you're welcome to take us back to when you had some things happen to in the Bangor main area that were a little interesting.

All right. I'll start back, you know, a little before that. When I was 13, 14 years old, my father once told me, I blew it off. You know, never thought anything. But he told me that when he was 13, 14 years old, my father once told me, I, I blew it off. told me that when he was young, there were 19 kids of his family. And they had

a farm, I guess, in Hudson, this was probably 15 miles from 10, 10 miles maybe from Bangor. And this area, this state is you know, Pine Tree State anyway. So, but

they heard some ruckus out on the front porch one night. There was a bunch of the kids in the house there. And they opened the door. They claim, he claimed that they saw a bigfoot and uh he bigfoot or suskatch savvy whatever you want to call him was chucking hay out of the barn you know it was you know it was like a you know at in the 70s um i had seen the legend of bargy creek never you know really dismissed it never thought everything of it and my father you know i think in that time i mentioned i seen the movie he told me about his kind of his uh

story, you know, I brushed it off, never thought of anything of my life. I mean, I hunted in the woods for years and years and never really seen things strange. You know, it has some airy feelings sometimes, but didn't really think anything of it. And then in 2017, you know, all those years passed. I'm 60 years old now, And all those years passed. And I, you know, my former wife and I, we purchased some property just outside of Bangor. It was a country setting. And it was 42 acres under tree management. And we took the first few acres.

There was a log cabin we had bought. And, you know, I was developing the land around it. You couldn't touch anything down back. It was like 600 feet wide, 3,000 feet deep. And we had a 15 acres on. beyond this pond that was down there, and it was landlocked. And I was developing a path down to the pond and brought kids down there, you know, my grandchildren and the wife, we used to walk down there.

And, you know, I was checking property lines when we first brought the property. And there was one that I couldn't find off this pine tree that had an old barbed wire fence. So there and 17 there, I think it was a late summer fall, the wife and I decided we took the day off something, went down in there in the afternoon, and we had a little boat that we could get across the pond. And we've, you know, previous, we had gone to the right side of that, you know, looking for property lines and walking through there and got some weird feelings, but always dismissed them. And, well, this day, I was looking for the left side, left side, you know, from the barbed wire fence. So we get in a little boat that I had, and I had a troll and motor on, and we, you know, put it across the pond. It was probably the other side where the swale grass was. It was kind of narrowed where a stream come through that, comes through there.

And so I docked. The, you know, wife stayed in the boat. And I had to push myself through seed, you know, lines and really thick brush there. You know, and I pushed myself through it. And there was this old pine tree that was dead that was laying down right as soon as I come through the brush. And there was a branch.

You know, there was dead branches on there. I had to get over it because it was like, I mean, right in my way. So I grabbed that branch and it cracked so loud and echoed up through those woods. And, you know, I didn't think anything of that. So I get over the tree and I walk out around and I, you know, I find that property marker of the continued barbed wire fence. And, you know, I yelled to the, you know, the wife, I said, you know, hey, I found it, you know, and it was all good. So I, you know, get back over the tree and get back off of the brush, get in the boat. And we get back across the pond and I'm pulling the boat back up in the swale grass on the other side of shore there.

And as soon as we pull it up And we get out and we just stand there for a second And right where I was standing Like 100 feet away The biggest crack It was probably five times the crack I mean you know And in my head I'm going

Is this a bear? Can bear do this? And I'm thinking no And then the second thing came into my mind was Bigfoot and why I don't know but it was so bizarre because I had never heard any stories, never watched any podcast ever, you know. And I was so freaked out. You know, it's like the skin and the hair stood up from my spine

all the way up to the top of my head. It was very bizarre. And I just was like in shock. Very, very strange. I never ever experienced something like that. I yelled out, hey, just as loud as I could. And no response. I had my truck parked there.

I told the wife, get in the car. I mean, get in the truck. Let's go. So we get out of there and we just, we were like dumb pounded, you know, on the ride back up. It was probably, you know, a quarter of a mile back up through there in the woods to the house. And, you know, we just, we didn't know. We just, you know, a question, question. And, you know, I don't know.

And I started searching for answers ever since. just and you know going online listened to all these podcasts that you know all these people that have these platforms and finding some very interesting information and one of those was tree cracking

or branch breaking to emulate you know whatever you know our humans doing and you know I sense there was something there but I mean I didn't you know see anything it was but it was right in that spot I was at

and I just like I said I just it totally freaked me out and uh you know ever since 2017 I I've been doing research just can't stop it you know like I it's like I want to know I want answers and you know I had to listen to see if there was any other similarities out there of experiences that people were having and sure enough I found hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of the same exact thing so you know that kind of convinced me in my mind that, you know, that there's, you know, a, you know, a, you know, creature out there that, you know, they don't want to admit to. And that there's kind of different, you know, what's the word I'm looking for? Like species or, you know, different types, like everybody sees different types. But I never, I haven't, you know, to see one, you know,

and that would be, you know, something to see. But, yeah, I mean, I was, like, just intrigued, you know, by the whole subject. You know, branch breaking and tree cracking is such, it's a weird part of it because when you're first hearing about it, it's one of those things where you may be like, oh, it doesn't sound like such a big deal. but when you're like in there and it's happening and you hear some extremely loud break it messes with you real real bad yeah yeah it's a shocking it's almost like uh i don't know i think about it right now it gives me the chills um it's um i don't know what it is it sends a wave of of almost i don't know if it's it's fear or surprise Because the, you know, the noise multiplies so, so much more than, you know, and I don't, I didn't understand, you know, I mean, it was just, it really confused me because, like I said, I've never experienced anything like that.

And something to respond so soon to, you know, and I was thinking to my head, this, this can't be a bear. Bears don't, you know, they don't break trees like that or branches or whatever that noise was, you know, but it's, It sounded exactly about, it was like it was trying to replicate what I did, but five times, ten times more. You know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely. Very bizarre. I was thinking through the experiences I've had, and I just realized I think there is a thing from Oregon that I haven't shared yet. Maybe it was only really quick, and this might be a good time to share it because we're kind of talking about tree breaks and cracks and stuff like that. So we were up in the woods at this research area. And the gentleman, his name was Chad. This is probably like 10 at night. And it was really dark, right?

And we were at the edge of the meadow. He takes his really high-powered flashlight. There had been a sighting on the edge of the meadow just that same day. He shines it into the woods. And a second after he did that, the loudest break of a branch, I've ever heard in my life was just like, boom. And I was like, oh, man, we are in big trouble. Never saw anything, but it was like, is right there.

And it really, really affects you. This puts you on a trail of trying to find answers. Did you start looking into this area of Bangor in seeing if there had been other experiences people had had, or have you been able to talk to anyone that has come forward? Well, I've mentioned to a few people, people thinking nuts. I've got a lot of response from, especially hunters. Oh, there's no such thing as Bigfoot.

If I see Bigfoot, I'll shoot him. I'm going, oh, yeah, okay. After what I've heard over the years on all the podcasts, you can try. But it's so funny the response you get out of people. But not right away because I had gone through a divorce. So my life kind of, I never, never forgot it, but it kind of took a different track for, you know, a couple years there. But it was still always in my mind and then I started researching it. And I've got to say I try to contact this guy that I just recently found out about my daughter's boyfriend.

Because I had talked with my daughter quite a bit about this. And her boyfriend lives up in Milanochette. and I guess he knows a hunter he lives close by me I'm actually outside of Bangor now a little south a bit but not far from me

is a guy who was hunting just it's fairly recent I'm not sure exactly the year but fairly recent and they had all everybody split up out of the hunting camp

and some of the guys came back and this guy comes back he comes and sits in the chair, pure white, head, urinated in his pants. And everybody said, what's wrong? And he says, I just saw a big foot. And so my daughter's boyfriend proceeded to tell me that he started doing research. He had pictures, and he was supposed to send me some pictures of footprints. This guy was just so, he, I mean, run right into it.

It was right in front of him while he was hunting. early in the morning, just barely light. As from what I gathered from the story, and I try to contact the guy and to talk to him about his experience because I wanted to share more factual information, you know, when you call. But I try to contact him. He didn't contact me back. It was like in the last week.

But, and, you know, I've heard of, you know, other, you know, a few other people that have, you know, seen strange things. And there's, I did start researching. A few years after I left that, you know, the log cabin that area, you know, of some incidents that's taking place up in a roostick county. It was a guy supposedly in northwestern Maine that would add a... This is Daniel Fischel. And Ryder Strong from Pod Meets World.

Grow, and he had one in there thump on the ground all the time and try to intimidate him out of there. And he didn't leave.

He just kept going back and they kind of finally calmed down. but they were always there every time he went in, you know, and very bizarre stories. Another incident was, I think it might have been maybe in the 40s. There was an incident up near Milanoch. There was a mountain up there that the natives lived around and said they wouldn't go near that mountain because there were killers up there. Harry killers. I guess, you know, what that equated to was some really aggressive squatch.

And I read an article recently about a guy that was a, he's a hunter. He's a bear hunter. And he commented on a sighting. And I don't think this was that long ago and said, believe me, you know, some people were saying, oh, you know, Bigfoot's a joke all this. And he said, I'm a guide. and up in northern Maine and believe me, Bigfoot exists.

And he didn't elaborate any more than that. Very interesting. There was another bizarre story that was, I think, in maybe, oh, I don't know if it was the 50s or 60s, but on the coast, there was a little boy who grew up and wrote a story

about when he was a child. He had just moved into this town and there was this little girl he met and they rode bicycles together. She kept asking him, do you want to meet my friend? Do you want to meet my friend? And this is, you know, some of the stories are researched. So yes to your question. But anyways, so one day he finally decided he was, you know, take a ride on the bike with her and meet her friend.

And so they stop at the store and she buys all these bags of chips. You know, these kids are about 10 from what I understand from the store. And so they go into the woods and, you know, they were at biking the woods and they get off their bikes and they're at this big tree, a big blowdown. And she's, you know, saying, hello, hello, come here, come here. And all of a sudden the ground started, you know, there was thumping. And, you know, there was growling. And she was throwing these bags of potato chips, I guess, over this log. And there was a squat.

It was a squat. And so the kid runs up in the tree. And, you know, she said that, you know, he don't like you. And they're up in this tree and, you know, scared, scared. And I guess there was a, you know, the thing was making a ruckus. And the kid ended up coming out of the tree or whatever, getting on his bike and riding out of there as quick as he could go. And he ended up, you know, writing a little story about it. But there's definitely been, you know, it sounds to me like they're definitely hearing.

You know, they are the master of camouflage. And, yeah, I, you know, I've been in the woods many times hunting, and, you know, I hear a lot of people talk about these smells, you know, these putrid almost dead smells. I smell that stuff many, many times, never, you know, gave it any regard at all, you know. And, you know, even when I was a kid, I spent a lot of times very young from sunup to sundown in these gravel pits in woods with friends for, you know, all. day long and had smelt smells and um you know never never thought anything of it but you know it's like you know uh they you know all the people everybody says that you know that they hide very well but i do believe that they're here you know i do believe that and this this guy i was telling me about that my daughter's boyfriend knows i'm going to still try to contact him because he

showed me some pictures on his phone when i was at her house just not long ago of footprints and and some structures or something. And very interesting. And I don't know. I can't stop pursuing and I'm going to continue to pursue, you know. Yeah, very, very interesting stuff. That's very intrigued by it. And things like that where, you know, you're waiting to hear back from the guy,

especially in an area like that. I mean, that could take years for that individual to finally get back to you. But it will probably happen someday. So I would, you know, not give. up on it. Sometimes it does take years to hear back from a person. Well, this guy only lives a couple towns away from me right now. Okay. So I'm going to pursue it more. You know, and one of the things I've done, Jeremiah is I'm a history book. I love, love, love, love, love, love history. And I go way back beyond, you know, and I'm sure you've heard of it. And I'm sure you've heard

many people, you know, you know, different. Everybody subscribes to something different, you know. And, you know, I've been always like a truth seeker in my life. And I go back to the Samarian text, you know, and I'm really drawn to that. And what, you know, they talked about with the Ananaki, how that they had gone through these number of experiments to hybridize the, you know, the local hominoid, so to speak, and were the result of that in Bigfoot or Sasquatch. And the numerous accounts of the differences in the looks to me relates to that of the different experience.

And that's kind of where I lean with the whole thing of, you know, the reality of all of, you know, what is going on in this world and all of the things that are untold to, you know, the, the people's, you know, just history is, you know, very, very intriguing and is, you know, it, you know, has its answers. Everything's right there in front of you. Just got to dig for it, you know, basically. Absolutely. When you are on that property where you heard the tree break, have you ever noticed anything else the ordinary on that property

like do you ever notice tree arches or weird structures of any kind when I first

when we first got in there closed on the house and then you know I had gone down back and the pathway

down to the pond had arched birch trees crossing each other in the path down there and it was like

it was blocking the way and I ended up clearing all that. It took me, you know, it took me probably a good week or so to get in there, you know, when I had time each day to get that. Because I wanted to, you know, put a, you know, hunting blind down there just for observation. But my brother ended up going down there hunting. And I had an, I had, you know, I got out of hunting. but, you know, we were there

and here in Maine, when you own, like, you know, property under tree management, you don't have to have a license to hunt. So I said, okay, I'll just, you know, I'll get, you know, I'll do it again. So I go down and sit in the stand

that my brother had put up, and he never, he never got anything out of there, but I went down there the day I was in there, it was not a peep, not a cricket, not anything, nothing, quiet, silence, just dead. I could hear the kids, you know, a half a mile away, you know, the next door neighbor kids, you know, laugh and giggle and playing. But it was total science, silence down there.

It was very bizarre. And other times, like I said, we had gone to the right side of that property across the pond. Initially, when we go down there were looking for property lines. And it was just weird feelings walking up through the path through the woods because there was a path there where the property line was on the right side to a power line. And just very, that place hadn't been cut off. I don't think it's ever been cut off. There are pine trees and they're 150, 200 feet tall.

And a lot of big growth. And yeah, very eerie. And one of the other things I had noticed before I left because I had seen bears scatter round and I knew there were bears around there. The state has, you know, tons of them at. but there was right in the middle of the road going down to the pond not far from the house after that incident I saw the biggest pile of scat I have ever seen in my life and bears you know usually leave a small

you know they say the bigger the scat the bigger the bear but this thing was so huge I mean I'm talking 12 inches in diameter and it must have been five inches high it was It was freaky. It kind of freaked me out when I seen that. And I'm going, wow, this is very strange. And, you know, I left that whole place, you know, the wife and everything. I left that shortly after that, that fall. And I'd never been back.

But that place was, yeah, very, very strange things going on there. And what that was that, I don't know 100%, but it was not normal. And people don't hang down in there on that, you know, down in that area. They just, they don't hang there. You know, people just don't get down there. And, you know, all the time we were there, I was there two or three years, almost three years. And, yeah, I, you know, I spent a lot of time down there. You know, used to go down there all the time.

You know, went to the pollen, took the grandkids there. But, yeah, that reaction, that reply or whatever it was, you know, I don't know. I couldn't understand what it was. You know, I just, if bottom line, it just freaked me out, you know. And here I am today because of it, you know. And I just, I won't stop the research. I, you know, I don't know. I guess maybe inside of me, oh, you somehow something instinctual or something just, you know, wants to maybe see it, you know.

You know, it's like I almost invite it in my mind. Oh, I get that. 100% What time of year again Was it that you'd seen A pile of scat on the ground? It was It was late summer

Probably early Early fall Right at the end of the summer Pretty much late fall I mean early fall Okay gotcha So it was not a thing Where like a bear had

Just gotten out of hibernation And cleared things out Not at all, yeah The scat I've found Had been on the edges of the point When I first went down in the air, but my brother and I would kind of just, you know, exploring. I found it in the swale grass.

I found it on a rock on the very edge. But I had never seen it right in the middle. I mean, it was right in the middle where I, because I used to mow the grass. I take a, you know, lawn tractor and go right down and mow the grass right down through there and keep it clean, you know, like a nice little path to walk and everything.

Oh, drive my truck. I could drive the truck. right down at the pond. And yeah, that one day I was walking down there and I saw that and saw, wow. I, you know, I got, I backed off and get out of there. I, you know, I didn't continue all the way down there upon after I seen that because I said, whatever that is, it's really big, you know, and I didn't want to run into it, you know. Yeah, Maine is one of those states where, like, things can get really serious, really

quickly out in the outdoors. There is... Oh, yeah. I would say, man, it's one of my favorite accounts that I've been told. Actually, it was sent to me from an individual,

and this is, I think, a perfect show to share it because I haven't been able to share it in a while. Yeah. So he reached out to me, and this is like north, you know, where the new,

Hampshire border is. And I can't remember the exact area, but it was kind of up by Canada border. So northwestern Maine way out. So the short version of it is the guy had like 40 acres way, way out in the sticks. And it was just him. And we had a trailer out on this property. And so he was washing his dishes down in the stream one day. He looks up because he heard something.

and he saw what he said. It looked like, you know, a big foot run across in front of them on the other side of the stream. And so he's like, uh-oh, they were not alone. The next night, they're in the trailer. Something hits the side of the trailer so hard that it gets knocked off the blocks. He's like, okay, this is not good. This is not good. Then the next day, or next morning, they open up the door to go outside,

and there's a bearhead that had been ripped off the rest of the bear just like laying there in front of the entrance to the trailer and immediately they were leaving this place

immediately he moved down to the south never returned sold it as quickly as he could but he's like yeah when I saw that bearhead I was like I had to get out of there and we all left immediately And it's one of the craziest things I've ever heard. But, you know, I always took it like that it was a warning. I did have a person I shared it once in there like, well, what if it was just like a weird way of gifting?

And I was like, well, I guess maybe. But either way, it's ripping off the Bearside. Wow. I don't know how to take that one. It could be the other two things. It could either be a warning. I'm going to rip your head off. You don't get out of here.

or there's a gift for moving in. You know, no, now, here we are. Right. You know, yeah. Maine, there's, there's, there's, there are, um, other incidences. Um, you know, uh, I've been discovering a little by little of people. Um, and I, I don't know. I just kind of got in a mold where I'm kind of, you know,

saying things to people a little bit that I know. And I know this guy that lives on a reservation. just, you know, outside of Bangor. A lot of the towns around here are fairly small. I mean, Bangor, where I was raised all my life. You know, it was populations 35, 40,000. We got another city right across the river called Brewer, they call the Twin Cities, basically,

and that's got another 40,000. But you go start going outside of Bangor, and everything is, you know, woods. It's woods. You know, the largest city in the state is Portland. This is Daniel Fischel. And Ryder Strong from PodMeet's World. Cat parents unite. We have to look out for each other.

Then there's Lewis and Auburn. They're kind of like Bangor, but, you know, twice the size.

But you go north. I spent a lot of time north, ice fishing. I've slept in 17-degree weather on a lake called lobster lake, you know, in January. And in an ice shack that I had with my brother. And, you know, very airy, you know, the silence is almost, it's bizarre. It's almost deafening. but, you know, the woods up there are really, really thick. And that's where I begin in to see where there's incidents, you know, people talking.

And this guy on the Indian reservations, I've talked to him about it. And he says that, you know, that their elders have spoke of that. And I've just been, you know, digging a little bit with him. I don't want to get too intrusive because I know that, you know, there's a lot of history. and with negative information as far as, you know, Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Sabby, whatever you want to call them. And, you know, I, you know, there's believers, you know what I mean? I'm, you know, going after the believers and finding them because, like I said before, yes, people here in Maine are very, very hush about stuff. And a lot of people, you know, are so much into the modern thing that, you know, they just, they, they shun it, you know, as soon as you say,

you know or think you're a nuthead and uh because i some of the people like i said before i spoke to you know just that's that's stupid you know and um you know i i i don't know after that incident i i i i you know i i believe i believe there's something there and you know and i i believe all these podcasts that i've been watched especially you for almost a year now i it's like every night i it's like i lay my head down and big force society comes on and and And I listen to these accounts. And it's so intriguing to listen to people's stories. You know, it's just incredible.

And, you know, I hear the comments. You know, yeah, some people lie, but, you know, if you got thousands accounts, you know, all these people cannot be lying. You know what I mean? And in the stories when you hear them, you can listen to people's, you know, voice in the intensity of the story. And, you know, you're like there. right there with them.

You know, it means like reading a book, but hearing it, you know. Very, very, very cool, you know.

Yeah, absolutely. And it's just a thing where, you know, the main reason I do the show is to give people a place to, to share it where they don't have to worry about, you know, they're going to be made fun of or laughed at or,

you know, and I, oh boy, do I work hard to try to, constantly in the comments on you, YouTube. You know, there's making sure the right people are in there. Yeah, I do, I just do not tolerate people making fun of witnesses. It's not cool. No, not at all. Nope. have you ever made it to the the cryptozoology museum up there in Maine? No, I never have.

You know, Jeremiah, my life is work. Sure. Eat sleep. You know, I, you know, I toil, you know, in labor. So a lot of my free time, you know, I do want to look into that. You know, I jump on my Harley and I, you know, cruise. the mountains. That's one of my favorite things to do. And there's a route that I take, you know, from Bangor goes, they call it 201, goes right up into Jackman. And it's like 17 or like 20 miles

from the border. And you go up in that territory and, you know, you ride. I stop at places, because I'll go by myself and do this. And I'll stop in places. And it's just, I don't know, it's so wild up there, you know? And I mean, there's a place called the Golden Road. I don't know if you ever heard of that, but you go out that road. It goes, geez, I can't remember how many miles. It goes out of Greenville, Maine. And I've spent a lot of times in the mountains up there in the wintertime snowmobiling by myself. And just beautiful, beautiful country here, you know.

And, you know, it just, you know, it's like, I don't know, it's kind of like since that happened, it's like, you know, it's like, it's like I want to see. I hear so many incidents of people like seeing them walk across the road, you know. And I don't know, I guess in some way that kind of hope that would happen, you know. But because going in the woods nowadays here, wow, the ticks are terrible. I mean, they're horrendous. I mean, you walk outside in the dirt driveway and you got ticks on you, you know what I mean? You've got to really careful.

That's a lot of reason I gave up hunting is because the ticks were just, insane. You'd come back covered with them. You know, and every time you step in the woods now, and it's, yeah, it's mind-boggling how bad they are now. I mean, it's all over, all over the state. And we'd never had that, you know, when I was a kid, we never had them like

that, you know, for some reason, it's the migration of them, because you've got every moving, you know, rodent and bird and everything else that moves in the woods that's carrying those things around, you know, and they spread, spread, spread, spread, you know, it's crazy. Yeah. Wow, I had no idea it was that bad out there.

Do you guys have the Lone Star tick out there too? I don't know. I know I haven't heard of that one. We have the Deer check. I don't know about the Lone Star, but the University of Maine was doing a study collaborating with, I think, some other universities like in California

or in the rest of the United States, and they found the same exact tick on the coast of Maine in the grass at the sand beach as they did in California on the sand beach in the grass and that was very bizarre. That's wild. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, it is. Oh, one more thing I remembered was my uncle had been living in,

he was retired from the Air Force 25 years. He was living in Albany, Abilene, Abilene. Evelyn in Texas. And he just recently passed away last year. And it was so funny because I communicated him a few times over my lifetime. He had come to visit my father or whatever, but he came up about it a year or less before he passed away. And he had been communicating with me, you know, texting.

You know, he ended up dying of cancer. I think he already knew he had it. but he was trying to get to know me because I was like, you know, my father's first son. I was Clark Jr., right? And I think he was kind of interesting to get to know me. We had corresponded for about a year or so. And so he came up to visit, and I went to see him. And we were talking, you know, about we got in kind of the cryptid thing, right?

And, you know, I was talking with him about that incident out there that happened. And he told me, you know, he says, oh, that's one thing I do believe him. is big part. I believe it's real. And, you know, I mean, then, you know, he was right down there from what I understand in your podcast and a lot of other podcasts, Texas, is a hot spot,

you know, and so he apparently knew more than what he was saying, but yeah, it was very interesting. I thought about that after, you know, we were talking and stuff, but yeah, so it's crazy the, you know,

how many states, are involved because once I started listening the podcast and realizing the abundance of sightings on every single you know state here in the United States

and Canada and you know it's like wow wow wow wow wow there's a lot more you know than we think and a lot more going on than we know you know and wow yeah

it's very interesting it is one of those you know, it's really, I would say it's a phenomenon because it is, as you said, I mean, it's not only in all the states. It's really a thing where if you start researching, there's some equivalent of it in all over the world. And I mean, I've talked to people in India. And I talked to a guy the other day from Australia a little bit about some Yawai stuff. It's just crazy how it is.

is it is really a part of all the different cultures and um it's right it's kind of the i i think it's one of the last great great mysteries uh you can you can you can really just look into it uh forever as as you were saying yeah really get really get deep into it yeah it's quite a rabbit hole yeah it's a deep it's a deep rabbit hole and yeah i yeah from what i understand yeah all over the world. I mean, yeah, yeah, it's very intriguing to me, you know, and I'm just going to continue to learn about it, you know. And it's, it's made me a little more like, um, aware of signs to recognize now, you know what I mean, since all of that took place and, and especially all the accounts that I've listened to

because I mean your podcast is like wow I love the podcast because you have the live interviews with everybody which is so unique because when I first started researching you know I was listening to people tell stories and you know no names mentioned

but it seemed to be very boring to me and it didn't seem to be there was you know the realism and it wasn't you know like yours. And another podcast I had previously listened to, and I had jumped to yours, and I've been listened to you quite a long time. And it's like every day I listen to a podcast

because I'm trying to learn, you know, and it's not just learn, but listen to these people's accounts and their reactions to them, you know what I mean? And how everybody's responding to it. And it's so, it's so intriguing to,

you know, to learn about all these, accounts, you know, and in the places that people are seeing them. It is. It's a wild, wild thing. And, you know, when I first started, I was like, I had someone tell me they're like, you're not going to be able to do just big foot. You'll run out.

And it's like, dude, it's not just running out. Like, that's not the problem. Like, the problem is the time because, like, they have people reaching out to me every day and it would blow your mind how many people end up not coming on the podcast, which is no problem. But they're constantly, you know, newer people getting out into the field having an encounter. There's people that get retired. They retire from their jobs or they, like, you know, they're on their deathbed and they're like, I need to share this before my time is up. And that's happening all the time. And it will never, it will never stop. I mean, there's always going to be people that,

need to share what they've experienced. And being there to help with that is, you know, that's my goal to do that platform and be one of the good platforms. But, you know, Clark, it has been such a fun time chatting with you about a part of the U.S. and Bigfoot that we don't really get to talk about. And hopefully there'll be some people that listen to this episode from Maine and maybe they'll reach out with things they've experienced. You're welcome to do that, and I would love to hear from you.

But Clark has been such a great time chatting with you today. Thank you for coming on the show. Same to you, Jeremiah. Thank you so much for having me. Hello, my name is Darren Hahn. And back in 2000, me and my brother went out west, can go traveling all around the west and see the sites, national parks, monuments, and all that. camped out just about everywhere. And when we came to Washington State, we wanted to climb up Mount

St. Helens. And so we got a permit and everything. And we set up the tent, eight, went to sleep. So I woke up. It was like midnight or one o'clock. And I had to go to the bathroom. My brother was still asleep. And I heard this deep, like, scream or yell, or it did not sound like any person or animal. It was a frightening scream, like a roar. And that was eye-opening and scary because I never heard anything like that in my life. and just wanted to let you know that. All right, well, I'm signing off.
