Head on over to patreon.com forward slash the Bigfoot Society and now let's get on with the show and thanks for coming up hey how are you doing

doing well do you feel free to share what you experienced in uh for brag so um years and years ago i was in the army and a group of me and i'd say like three four other soldiers took off from um our base camp you know which is like a city our barracks where we were we lived to go out further into the woods to go in camp and fish and I always felt like something was watching me every time we would go out and I just assumed that it could be other soldiers you know potentially in the area but I always knew that I wasn't alone so over the course of a couple of months we would go out and we would bass fish it was a great place to catch large mouth bass. And one afternoon, it was just about dark. I happened to look out over the lake,

and I've seen what I can only describe to be as a very large, hairy creature, between three and 400 pounds, you know, seven foot tall, just gigantic, standing there looking at me from across the Lake. And I asked my battle buddy, I'm like, hey, girl, I'm like, look, do you see what I see? Like, what was that at 7 o'clock? And she looked out. She's seen it too. The guys that were with us, you know, they thought that we were just a couple of scared girls out in the dark in the woods. But my friend, she seen what I've seen. And yeah, that's my story. Do you remember any details of the face that you saw or was it too far away to see that? It was too far away to really make out a face.

I just remember it being like a reddish, brown, hairy man, you know, just like humongous. Like I said, you know, like way bigger than us, like just gigantic and covered in hair. And it just stood there and was literally watching us. Being at that area, would you hear any other people talk about having similar sightings in the same area? Yeah, I've heard a couple of guys on podcasts say that when they were also stationed at Fort Bragg, that they seen creatures out there. Yeah, I've heard of others. I've seen the same thing. Did that sighting affect you in any way?

Yeah, I used to be an avid hiker. Hiked all over the Appalachian Trail. I grew up in South Georgia in the middle of nowhere in the woods myself. And I don't want to be alone, you know. Like before, I would just walk to my mom's house from a couple of miles away. But I wouldn't do that again because, yeah, we're not alone here. They're definitely observers of us. Is that a thing where did you, when you got back to the base area, did you end up telling a lot of people?

Or did you try to keep it quiet? You know, they made fun of me. They didn't believe me. You know, they said, you know, we were probably out drinking, but I mean, I know what I've seen. I looked right at it. You get all the hairs on the back of it. your neck standing up and you know you're not alone. That's them. So you could feel that before you focused in on, oh, there's something actually over there. Oh, yeah. Thank you for coming

up and for sharing that. That is, I, that you're my first person to talk to from that area. So I appreciate you coming up. You're welcome. It's good to get my story out there. Hopefully it spark something with somebody else that's seen something in that area. Yes, ma'am. Thank you. You're welcome. Good night. Chantelle, how's it going? Great. Good. Thanks for coming up. Feel free to share what you saw down in Florida. Okay. I used to live in Hillsborough County, Florida, and

And I used to go walking in these woods that grew along the Alifaya River down there. And me and a friend of mine, we went in there. And the cool thing about those woods, there's Indian burial mounds back there. I mean, it's a really cool place to go. A lot of people don't know about it. But while we were back there one day, we kept getting the same. sense that something was in there with us. We couldn't see it. We did get a whiff of something awful. I guess the closest thing I could think of would be almost like rotting flesh and wet dog.

It's a closest thing that I could think of me. It's, it was awful. And We just kind of, you know, said, well, maybe, you know, I mean, these woods, they're pretty deep, so maybe there's a dead animal close by. I mean, that's the only thing we could think of. But we stayed back there probably for a couple of hours, and it started getting darker outside, you know, getting closer to twilight. And, you know, we were teenagers at a time, so I needed to get home. And as we were walking out, I happened out in the corner of my eye to see what I thought was an uprooted tree that had like Spanish moss hanging from it. But then I stopped and like, wait, I know this trail like the back of my hand. I do not remember a tree ever being there.

So I happened to look and I stop because what I thought was Spanish moss was something that was kind of hunched down in the palmetter. and it was just staring at me. He's just still as a statue. Just being hunched over, I would say, was about maybe six to seven foot tall. If I'm going to just go ahead and say Sasquatch, if he would have stood up at his fullest height, he probably would have been a good eight to nine, maybe 10 foot tall. And he was the color of Spanish moss. I don't know if maybe depending on the area where they live, they could blend in

better with that the surrounding area because the farther south in florida you go the more spanish moss there is and but for something being as big as big as it was for it to stand as still as could be and not even make a noise i think i'm going to say the most noise we heard whenever we kept feeling like something and was back there with if you could think maybe a deer or like a rabbit or something kind of walking you know because we didn't see anything and oh we could smell something but whenever i saw this i just stood there and my friend he kept walking ahead of me you know still talking thinking didn't even realize i stopped and i told him very calmly i said i need you to stop and turn around and i want you to look where i'm looking i want you to tell me what you

you see because I need to know I'm not seeing things. And when he's kind of looked, you know, he had a look on his face like, what are you talking about? He looked, followed where I was looking. And when he finally saw what I saw, his face went ghost white. We stood there probably for a good two minutes just kind of having a stare down with this going by the size, I'm going to say it was a hem because I mean it was huge. His shoulders were massive. His arms were gigantic. I mean, he could clearly, if he wanted to, you know, pull a tree straight out of the ground, no problem whatsoever. But I didn't get the feeling that it was wanting to harm either one of us. I don't know if it was curious. I don't know if it was, you know, just trying to check us out, seeing if we were a threat to it. But finally he found his words and he asked me like very quiet.

He's like, well, what do we do? And I told him, I was just like, well, let's just keep walking. Just act like everything's normal and just leave it at that. Because I mean, with the size of this thing, I'm not wanting to excuse my language, I'm not wanting to piss it off. And, you know, he's, he just kind of, agrees with me so we start walking but the first chance we got once we felt like we were safe enough to do so and got closer to the exit of the woods we just we ran and I told my dad about it whenever I got home and he was telling me that he used to go back there a lot when he was younger too and he used to find these trees good-sized trees I'm gonna say maybe about I don't know a good six to eight inches wide and it'd be about you know cluster of them that would be

twisted together and it wasn't anything that was naturally grown that way because whenever he found them he said it looks like something just grabbed a bunch of trees twisted them all together the bark was split and he said he said he doesn't know if it was you know because whenever he went back there he'd got he would smell something like what I explained you know kind of like mixture of a skunk or a uh which you know in Florida I guess you've heard about the you know legend of the skunk ape down there the same thing as Sasquatch but from what I saw it didn't really remind me anything about sightings of a skunk ape um my dad he'd saw a

a few of them all down there. He said the one that he saw, one of the ones he saw was more of a red, but it was more than northern parts of Florida. He lived in Tampa once Tampa still had a good bit of swamp left there. And he said the ones he saw were also silver, like Spanish moss. And he said, you know, he even mentioned that one of them came walking up on him and his friends, and he said, you know, they turn out because he heard something walking, but he's expecting to see something small. He just looks up. And him and his friends, you know, they panicked and ran and you're not expecting something that big to be so quiet. And but that's the best story.

I have the siding. You know, I was 14 when I happened. I'm 33 now. And I've also, I live in Alabama. I live in Alabama now, and Alabama has, you know, a lot of stories too. I've heard things that I couldn't explain that sound like could Barry possibly. I don't really know what they sound like. I've never personally heard one, but the things I've heard, I don't know if maybe it's one of them.

Because, I mean, I live more up in the mountains here. So, but it was a really... amazing experience. Granted, I mean, it scared me at the time. Like I said, I was 14. I didn't know what to think. But after, you know, the older I got, the more I realize, you know, there's so many people out there that would love to see something like that

and actually getting the chance to see them and everything and not feeling like he wanted to do any harm. It was just, it was amazing and I wish I could see one again. but I think it's up to them whether or not if they want you to see them or not, you know. Because I could have just kept walking past like, you know, like it was nothing. But just that whole day, me and Hammer, just like, I feel like something's in here with us, but we didn't see anything. We just kept smelling something. And then when we were leaving, that's when we saw him, you know. But it was an awesome experience.

And I'm hoping I'd get to experience something like that again one day. and hopefully it's something that you know because i've heard of some people seeing them and them being kind of aggressive but i've also heard where yeah they might be aggressive but i don't think they've ever harmed anybody i don't believe that i've always wanted to tell my story i've told few people before but whenever i came up on your life i'm like oh yeah i want to share this so i'm glad you came up and shared it are you are you by uh uh Taladega or no yeah Taledaga or bankhead in Alabama I'm close to Talladega and I have been to Bankhead Alabama and Banking National Forge is one of my most favorite

place to go but yeah I'm close to Talladega okay I would say both of those areas are your best bets or trying to have an interaction Alabama from you know just people I've talked to that are in that area, especially the southern part of Talladega National Forest. Well, I'm very close to Mount Chihaha. I'm only about 30 minutes away from Mount Chihaha. There you go. Yeah. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

Like I said, I've heard things and I've seen trees moving, huge trees moving. but I mean, it was like, you know what? I'm going to see that from the distance. I don't know investigate. That's a huge tree and whatever. Moving it, I don't think I want to, you know. There's been, I mean, there's a lot of things that people have witnessing in the, in these mountains and everything that, you know, like the white thing.

That's something that people have witnessing. I mean, even in the area I live in. people have talked about seeing something that's very tall and white and, you know, is there one second and gone? And it gives you like a feeling of like, it scares people, but from what I've heard, it's, it's just there. They see it. And then it's like, God. So, wow. Yeah.

Very, very strange crypted stories about that one. So, but neat all the same. I love that source. If you keep going out to that area, Mount Cheha and all that stuff, you're going to eventually have some stuff happen. The stories I hear down there are wild. So, I mean, always feel free to, if you ever want to reach out, my email's up there. If you want to make a note of it, if you ever have anything else happening in the future, we'd like to hear from you. Cool.

Yeah, definitely. Yeah, I want to go do more exploring. especially a bankhead and Mount Chehob, but I want to go to where there's not as many tourists, you know, because the farther, I mean, I don't want to be out in the middle of absolute nowhere, but you know what I mean. Right.

Yeah, absolutely. No, if I ever have any body tell me about sightings they've had or experience these experiences they've had, whether it's the Albin White Thing or Sasquatch, I will definitely email you. Awesome. Good stuff. Thanks for coming up, Chantelle.

Ethan, thanks for coming up. Hey, thanks for having me. I really appreciate it. What brings you up, man? Yeah, it's legitimately my favorite story to tell. And I just want to preface this. I'm not what I guess you would call not a believer. Okay.

So before we get into all that, and that matters because I want to tell the story the same way. I tell it to my friends or my family, like the same way I always tell the story. Sure. So at some point you'll hear me mention that during the story that I'm not a believer. And that's why I want to get it out of the way right now. And I grew up in Appalachia, you know, a lot of folklore, a lot of weird stuff that we believe in.

And, you know, your mammal and everybody raised you with. And so to say I'm not a believer, you can kind of laugh it off because I believe in a lot of other silly weird things to the outside people who aren't part of that. you know they would see a lot of the weird things that I am creeped out by or just have a general hesitation to do things you know to say that I don't believe in Bigfoot or taskwatch is just silly when you stack it up with all the other things that I actually believe anyway that's I'm gonna tell it the exact same way I always tell it I was living in Florida and Orlando area for a few years and met a girl we began dating she wanted to go into

travel nursing and asked me to come with her I left my corporate job to go travel with her for a bit started off on the West Coast and Oregon I'm a big camp I'm an outdoorsman my entire life I've been hunting and camping and everything my entire life and I like to say that no I haven't seen every creature on the forest but I can ballpark if I hear it. It's a, that's a bird or that's a, that's a bleat from an elk or deer or something. I'm a very experienced outdoorsman. So when the traveling, uh, travel nursing thing that my, my ex was, uh, was doing at the time took us to, uh, Washington state. I think it was 2016, 2016.

She had a assignment there at the Washington University, and I'm just going along with the flow. We were only going to do this for a given amount of time, so I'm just finding little odds and ends jobs as we go, because typically an assignment is only three months, and she can choose to extend it or whatever. Any nurses in here, any travel nurses, you guys know the deal. But she had a trip planned with a mutual friend of ours out to Amsterdam and Iceland for about a week. So I took it upon myself that I'm going to go camping around Mount Rainier at the time. That was my big plan. And it was the first time that I'd ever tried my hand at dispersed camping.

You know, you see the Instagram post of these beautiful pictures, these outdoorsy people that are camping out in the middle of nowhere. and you wonder where they got these pictures from. And yeah, you can pay a $52 fee to the national parks and kind of do that thing. But like these people are always camping out and wherever. Turns out that is considered dispersed camping. And in a national forest, you're free to camp wherever you like. Typically your national forests are right outside of a national park. And for those of you who aren't who are watching, we've got 172 people in here who aren't.

who aren't really aware of like the Bigfoot Sasquatch thing. The Sasquatch that you think of, if you're not part of a region that has their own skunk cape or, like Chantelle was in here recently, the Deep South has the skunk ape. Different parts of the world all over have various accounts of these Bigfoot-like creatures. But the one that you think of that your head goes to is Bigfoot in the Pacific Northwest. That's where most of us have our idea of Sasquatch and Bigfoot. And I feel like that

lends more credence to my story because now I'm in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. And I'm out in the middle of nowhere. I wanted to try the dispersed camping for the first time. I'm doing my research. I call the state park or the National Park office and speak to a ranger and just want to make sure I'm not doing anything. I'm not going to be hassled by where I try to go post up in camp, and they were very helpful. Gave me a recommendation for the scenic byway leading up to Mount Rainier National Park that takes you through Mount Rainer National Forest.

And she basically told me that, yeah, basically anywhere off that road is the National Forest, and you can pick any kind of spot. You'll find spots that are already pre-camped and have a, you know, overgrown fire pits that people have used over the years, blah, blah, blah. And it's just me and my dog. I got all my ducks in a row, and I set off this day to go find a place. I knew I was going to just hunt down a camping spot.

So I left early in the morning and made great time, got down there, a beautiful day. You think of Washington and Oregon and all, it being cloudy and glaming all. I know this was a beautifully lit day, no clouds. And I got into the area right around noon. So plenty of daylight left, plenty of time on my hands. I'm just going down the byway and just kind of investigating those little overgrown paths that you see off the road. And by the way, for anybody who's interested, nine times out of ten, you see those little turnouts off of a scenic byway or an old road. that looks like somebody used to go into the woods right there.

Poke your head through the tree line right there, and nine times out of ten, you actually find that people do camp out there, and there's an overgrown fire pit that has been used over the years. Anyway, I found this little turnoff of dirt road that my goal was, at the time, I'd really gotten into some photography, and I was having a blast with my Nikon, and I wanted to try my hand at Astro Photography nighttime, star photography, you know, get a great picture of the star.

These are exposure shots where the lens stays open for, you know, 20 seconds a time, and it can take in a lot more light than what you can see, and therefore these great star pictures show up in the photo. And this is my very first time that I was going to try this. I was in the middle of nowhere by myself, and I was really excited for it. And I wanted to find a spot that has a direct line of sight to Mount Rainier itself at night with the stars and everything above it. I picked a terrible day because it was a full moon. The sky was too whitewashed and I didn't have all the stars.

Anyway, found this turnoff, this is dirt road that kind of ran off the scenic byway there. And there was, it was so narrow. And so I had no business going up this road because it was overgrown and narrow. There's nowhere to turn around. I had to go up at least, at least three miles, let's say. Before I could even find a turnaround point with enough room for me to like do a little three point turnaround to even get back down the mountain. But came to a beautiful clearing where I am at least, you know, 2,000 feet up from where I was down on the main road on the scenic byway and had a perfect

beautiful line of sight to Mount Rainier with I think I was in between two other little small not mountains but I guess you'd call them hills or I'll hear that be mountains out here in appellation anyways beautiful spot perfect vision perfect line of sight I'm like this will be great. Come nightfall, I'll be able to get great shots of this. And there was just enough room for me to turn off and get off the actual path. And there was an overgrown fire pit there that had been used at some point in the last 15 years or some, sometime. But the bugs were insane. And this is, by this time, it's not two o'clock in the afternoon. It's broad daylight. There's no fear of anything at this point, right? You, I know what I'm doing, but that's, you've got to be cautious

anyway and to an extent and realize that you're isolated and with no protection. I don't, I'm not traveling with any firearms or anything. And I forgot my machete that I would use to, uh, cut down brush and stuff just to make any clearing whenever I would go camping. So I have nothing and my dog is not much protection at all at the time. But the bugs were terrible. So the second I get pulled off and get a feel for it. I'm like, let me build a fire real fast just to help keep the bugs away. Throw up the tent. Keep the dog out of it.

And got all that done within about 15 minutes. And again, I'm an outdoorsman. I've been hunting and camping my entire life. I don't know every creature out there in the wilderness, but I can ballpark it if I hear something. If it makes a call, if it makes a noise, I got a 99% success rate. type deal, right?

Now in my head, I know Sasquatch is not real. This is why I mentioned this in the beginning, but I'm not a believer, but I'm telling the same way I tell it to everybody. I know Sasquatch isn't real. That's not a concern of mine when I'm assessing my danger level out in the middle of nowhere. I'm pretty confident.

I'm pretty self-sufficient. I can do the thing, but broad daylight, 2 o'clock in the afternoon on a beautiful day. Fire going, beautiful view of Mount Rainier right in front of me, elevated position up on some whatever mountain I was on off the scenic byway and somebody of the 100 and 200 people we got in here, maybe somebody's from that area.

You know what road I'm talking about. That's the main byway going up to Mount Rainier National Park. All of a sudden, I hear what I can only describe as a blood-curdling turkey screen. You put a gun to my head, and there's no way I could tell you what this creature was. I have, this has baffled me for, I guess that was almost 10 years ago now. It's baffled me to this day. I it sent chills down my spine immediately.

And on top of that, I looked down on my dog, this little pit bull terrier mix, 45 pound, um, it looks like a giant Jack Russell. She's, she was a 45 pound Jack Russell pit bull mix. She's frozen solid. And the hairs on the back of her neck are just straight up, straight up. Now, because of our elevated position and being out there in, uh, mountainous air, area. It's really difficult to gauge the distance. You know, if it's, if something's not within 50 feet of you, you know, there's a lot of heck. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

There's a lot of sound travel, but I can confidently say whatever it was,

was within 200 yards, easily. That's being cautious. about it. But I was dumbfounded. Again, this isn't like a spooky nighttime scenario or anything. This is broad daylight. I did have the thought before this happened, maybe moments before at least, or maybe on the way up, because I can only go like five, 10 miles an hour max on the way up this overground, grown path that I had no business going up in the first place. There just wasn't anywhere to turn around before I found this wonderful place to stop and set up camp and hopefully get some great night shots to the sky at the time.

But broad daylight, 2 o'clock. And I looked down, see the dog, hair on the back of the neck standing up, and maybe five seconds had passed where I'm just kind of processing what I just heard and what I, what I just seen. That's all the time it took. I immediately didn't even take apart my tent. I kind of like grabbed it up and just like bunched it all together and threw it back in the back of our Subaru. Grab the dog through the dog in the back. I'm like, I don't know what that was, but I'm not sticking around

to find out. And Haldat did a really sketchy three point turnaround to get back down this path that I'd come up. You can't go that fast on it then. I'm only doing five to ten miles. an hour. So the entire time, which took me a good 20 minutes or so to get back down, because again, we're about three miles up. There was nowhere to turn around. I just kept going up because there was no way to turn around. So I'm doing this slow pace thing down the mountain. The whole time I'm looking around, gripping the steward, white knuckling the steering wheel, like looking out of every window and looking in the rear view, like, is something following something going to come out? I was, I was shook to my core. from this. When I

keep mentioning the fact that I'm an outdoorsman, that I'm in a hunter and I can't, you know, I can't, I go camping in the most remote places that I can find at least 15 times a year. And I'm very comfortable

being outside, being outdoors and being in these situations. This shook me to my core. This unidentifiable definitely came from an animal 100% came from some kind of creature. I did not see this thing. I didn't have big foot in front of me or anything like that. But the fact that I'm in the Pacific North, I'm aware the origin story of the Bigfoot that we recognized came from. And I couldn't dismiss it. I couldn't just shake that off and say that's

not a real thing. I mean, there's a reason that for millennia, multiple, many cultures around the world have very similar stories of, you know, a Bigfoot type creature. And that is my time experiencing Bigfoot. That's how I explain it to everybody. That's how I tell the story is that that's when I ran into Bigfoot. That's awesome. I mean, you said yourself, you're not a believer, but it lines up with so many accounts I've heard over the years. That's an incredible account. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate that.

That feels validating because, I mean, again, even when I tell the story, and I love telling the story, because I tell it the exact same way every time, but it's still baffles me to this day. And I can pretend like I could even round about what. that thing was. I call it a blood-curdling turkey scream because it was so loud and

ear-jarring and it seemed directed. I don't know if it was directed at me, but it seemed directed, if that makes sense. Sure. Maybe it was directed towards me. Maybe it was directed to something else, but it felt like it was

a call to something, not just a random call or bleat or anything like elk and deer and such too. This was weird. This was a thing in all the Bigfoot documentaries and stuff that, which by the way I love,

I'm a big folklore person. I love all that. It didn't line up with any of the, you know, let's call it out what it is. A lot of those shows and everything, they're just goofy. Get the viewers, get the paycheck real quick.

Yep. And they They put these weird calls that some farmer Joe from next door put together and they feel like that's going to draw out Bigfoot from their cornfield or their soy field from wherever they got their tree stand set up. Wasn't quite anything like that, but it was absolutely abnormal. It was not a thing that you would recognize on any level, any outdoors, any nature lover. If I can't do it, if I can't even ballpark it, if I can't round it, the average person certainly is not going to have any kind of valid explanation for this. It was absolutely jarring. That's in a wild account. And thank you for sharing it, Ethan.

I appreciate you coming up. Thank you. I appreciate it. I love telling it. Thank you, Ethan, for hanging. out. Man, this has been a wild, wild night. Kara's got a great comment here. I was camping on Mount St. Helens, flat tire, three big animals surround, roaring, closing in. I ran away. I'm going to reach out to Kara to see if she is able to come up.

Got some good stuff going on, but thank you. Thank you, man. All right. We got a guest request. Let's see what happens here. Jimbo Kong. Hello. Hey, Jimbo, how's it going? I'm doing pretty good in you. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. Happy Thanksgiving.

What brings you up? Okay, so there a couple years ago, I went to Mexico to visit, you know, my stepdad's family. And by the way, this was in one state called Maitroquan, Mexico. So we're here and the place that, you know, we're visit our stepdad's family, you know, it's full forest, pinewood forest, you know. And, you know, it was during late at night, I was with my brother, with my little brothers and sisters. And we were all in this car. And, you know, it was getting late.

It was already about like 11, 11.50 p.m. It was night and, you know, there's no, like, there's barely any light. And so on, and well, we start hearing these houses. And I think to myself, no problem, you know, might be some coyotes, some animals, you know. But then it turns out, I see, I don't know if it's, I don't know if you consider it bigfoot because they had white fur. But I see a giant figure, furry human-like figure with glowing red eyes. It had sort of like a white whiteish grayish fur, right? And it got to me and it was like right in front right beside me.

Like right beside the car door looking at me. And that dude, that thing was big though. It got all the way like around my shoulders and I'm six foot one by the way. So yeah, that's my story to it. So I told my step grandma about it. and I told my state about it, and they said that, you know, it's not the first time seeing something like that. And I keep thinking to myself, could there be a big foot in Mexico or so, like a subspecies of Bigfoot? That's extremely interesting.

I have heard a few sightings from down in Mexico, but I'll be honest, you're one of the first that I've had reach up and share. So that is extremely cool that you were able to come up. Thank you, Jimbo. Are you able to get a good look at the face of what you saw, Jimbo? Not really, because then again, you know, it was, well, it was dark and there wasn't, like, any light. I don't think it's normal seeing, you know, a big, massive figure with red eyes looking at you. No, no, definitely.

That's definitely a rare thing. And you said it was white as well, right? White hair. White grayish fur. Oh, true. Could you get a view as to the silhouette, how different parts of it looked like, even though it was dark? Well, yeah, I mean, I did see the silhouette. Well, how do I say, you know, it had, how to, the head?

It was like, you know, it was elongated. And it had very strong shoulders, a very strong, yeah, a very big, strong, you know, uh, figure. So like most gorillas that you see, you know, on TV. Absolutely. Could you see the arms at all? Well, I did see some of it. I think I, I have seen the, the hands there were black. They're black. They're nasty.

It's kind of pretty or an actual dark color? Like an actual dark there. Okay. All right. Well, Jimbo, thank you for coming up and for sharing what you saw down there.
