you've got the privilege of talking to Henry Henry's an individual that reached out to me
about a few interesting things he's experienced over the years out there in the state of
Washington so welcome to the show Henry how's it going?
Oh pretty good awesome good
glad to be on.
Yeah.
We've talked a little bit beforehand.
It was a great conversation.
And, you know, we want to, let's make the best use of our time because I know you've got a ton to share.
And I say, you know, Henry, go ahead, take us back to when this first started happening for you.
And we'll have a good time.
Okay.
I'm just going to start with my first encounter.
I grew up in south central Washington around the Mount Adams area.
I've lived here all my life, hunted around here all my life, on my grandma and grandpa's
everybody just lived around here.
So in, let's see, yeah, 2000, well, it was spring of 2016.
It was the spring turkey hunt.
and I had some private property to hunt on and some friends of mine,
they own some cabins up.
It's pretty high up on the mountain, but yeah,
so I got permission to go up there,
and it's gated community.
There's only one road in.
There's only one road out.
There's nobody that can get in there,
and I haven't had the key,
and I knew I was by myself.
But the week prior to the,
the turkey hunt that came up, I had went up there to this area that had been logged off,
and I was down kind of over the north side of the logging area.
There's a creek that runs down through there with a pretty good meadow.
And we've always known that the turkeys like to hang out in there.
It's just, I don't know why, but they always just hung out in that area.
So I went up there by myself the week prior, and I had made a blind about 10 yards into the tree line of
this L-shaped metal, and I'll explain that more to you here in a minute.
But the right side of this blind was up against the tree, and I just took bail-in-wire and
side cutters, and I just took sticks and limbs.
And anyway, I built this blind.
It actually looked like a one-seat outhouse, and the door opened from the back.
And I had a, I'd be on bucket with a board that I would sit on, and I had a little shooting port in the front that faced the middle, of course.
and I didn't have to, but I had put a top on the blind.
I had extra sticks and so I thought, well, I just put them up there.
I didn't need to, but I didn't tie them down or anything.
I just laid them up there.
So anyway, yeah, I got done and I backed out of the area and went home and waited for the next weekend.
So the next weekend came around and, you know, Saturday morning.
I was a little anxious to get up there.
So I took off a little early.
It was dark when I got there.
So I decided, well, I'm just going to walk up there and get in the blind anyway, even though it was dark.
It didn't really have a light with me.
I had a light with me, but I didn't use it.
I had a little red pin light that you could barely see the ground with.
But when I got out of my pickup, well, when I came up the hill, I'm about anywhere from five to seven miles from the gate up on the mountain.
and I came to the first landing.
It was a logged off section of about 250 acres off to my left-hand side.
And there was two landing sites.
The first one that I came to,
and then about three-quarters of the mile up the road was the second landing.
And right after that, it would drop down the hill,
cross the creek, and there was a road that went up on the hill,
just a little ways, and stopped.
Well, up on the right-hand side of that was this flat area,
and there was an L-shaped meadow up in there.
So and in between these two landings, there was an intersection that turned and went up the hill.
And about two miles from that intersection up on the hill, we have some friends that have two cabins up there.
And that we have access to.
We can go there anytime we want.
And it's right on the creek too.
So when I got there, I thought I was just anxious to get going.
And so I thought, well, I'll just load up and start walking up there to the blind.
So I got out of the truck, and this kind of plays in later on, but I got out of the truck,
and I could see my shotgun the night before when I was loaded up my shotgun,
and you're only supposed to put three rounds in it, and I noticed that I'd put four in there.
And I thought, oh, dang it.
So I put my fifth round in, and I realized I forgot my plug.
So I was like, well, shoot.
you know if i get caught i'm gonna get a ticket so just load it up so i did i put six rounds in
of three inch i i use three inch double or magnum double up back and uh that's what i like to
shoot out in this area because it's a lot more wide open than it is over in the you know
in the gifford pinchot that's more of your jungle tropical stuff but so anyway i got everything
ready and i took off walking up the road and then like i said
I was going to drop off this second landing and go down to cross the creek.
But at the last second, I thought, wait a minute, I'm just going to cut up.
When I hit the intersection, I just took a right.
And I went up the road headed towards the cabins.
And I walked up there, I don't know, 100, maybe 200 yards.
And then I cut into the left and I walked down to the creek.
And I got down to the creek, crossed the creek.
It wasn't real big.
It wasn't small, but it's not real big.
It was pretty easy to cross.
And it was real quiet.
It was all wet out, super quiet going in.
And so I go up the other side, and it's about 40 yards from the creek to the blind,
but I was above it.
I had to turn and walk down to it.
And it was still fairly dark out, but it was just starting to kind of get light enough
where I could just barely see the ground.
So when I got to my blind, I had noticed that the top had been taken off the blind.
Like the whole roof had just been like taken off.
And it was it was laying in front of the door.
All these sticks were laid in front of the door.
So I couldn't even open the door.
And I was just looking at this like out of these sticks.
Well, I know the wind didn't do it.
You know, I was just kind of looking around.
So I thought, okay, well, whatever.
So I just, I just picked the sticks back up and I quietly just put them back up there.
I don't even know why I put them up there, but I did.
So.
I went in. I opened the door. I went in and I was sitting in the blind. I put my shotgun
on the right hand side of the blanks and right hand and I put my backpack on the left side and shut the door
and I was just sitting there waiting for it to get light out. I mean it was starting to get
fairly lighter and lighter. So I kept hearing stuff that I didn't really pay attention too much
about what was going on.
I'm just normal forest sounds, I guess.
So anyway, I'm sitting there, and it's getting lighter and lighter,
and I'm thinking about getting my stuff out and getting ready to go.
But I should tell you about this meadow first.
I was facing west.
I was looking right at Mount Adams.
This meadow was about 60 yards long.
The right-hand side was about 60 yards.
long and the left-hand side was about 40. I'm about 10 yards inside the tree line. So I'm about
50 yards to that shortest corner. And then the me, it made an L-shaped turn and it went towards
the creek about, I would say 30 yards maybe. And there was just a row of trees between that
meadow and the creek. And it dropped down into there. So anyway, I'm sitting there waiting,
waiting and getting ready to go.
And these turkeys, they would roost up.
It was a pretty good size hillside.
It went up to the top of the mountain was probably about three miles.
I would say so it was a pretty good hillside, but it wasn't real steep.
And these turkeys, they would come out of roost and they would always walk across this meadow.
And we've done pretty well in their turkey hunt.
But they would cross and they'd go down and get their water and then go.
whichever direction they went.
So I was just getting ready to get my stuff out in.
It's kind of a flatlight situation where it's just kind of between daylight and dark.
And all of a sudden, that noise that I was hearing, it sounds like I could hear somebody talking.
And the more I listened to it, the more it sounded more and more like people talking.
I don't know if you've ever been in a situation where you hear people talking and they're just like right on the edge of your hearing.
You can't make out what they're saying.
That's what it sounded like to me.
So I was looking around.
I could see through the walls of the blind.
It just sticks.
You had little gaps in there.
And I was looking in every direction trying to figure out where this was coming from.
I even opened up the back door.
And I just, I couldn't figure out where it's coming from.
So I got up and I stuck my head out the blind and was just listening.
And then I figured out that the talking was coming from the front of me to the left.
So I sit down and I'm listening to them talk.
And I got kind of, I got kind of pissed about this because I'm like, you know,
I put all this time and effort into it and now there's people up here hunting.
And then I got to thinking, I was like, there's no, there's absolutely no way
somebody would have walked up here because they couldn't have got through the gate because nobody had a key but me
i'm 10 miles from any house in any direction to the north of me is the yakima indian reservation so i know
nobody nobody came off there so i thought oh dang it man
so i was just getting ready to go out the blind i was going to go over there and tell these guys
get your stuff and get out of here you're not supposed to be here get out
I mean, I wasn't even going to take my shotgun with me.
I was just going to walk over there and just tell him, just get out.
So at this point, I sit there for just a few more minutes,
and it got a little lighter and a little lighter.
I mean, it was getting fairly light, really.
So I was just getting ready to get out.
And I looked over to my left, and I noticed movement coming from my left side.
It was coming to the right out towards this meadow.
And I thought, well, you know, what's going on here?
Is it one of the hunters coming out to sit in the meadow right there or what, you know?
So I was just sitting there watching to see what they were going to do.
And then a few, you know, a few seconds went by where I didn't see any movement.
And then probably about, I don't know, five yards from the end of that meadow.
We have a lot of low, like pine trees and oak trees.
It's like low scrub stuff.
It's not like the Gifford Pins.
shell, where's really like a jungle, really.
So it's a lot more open.
So I seen movement coming out underneath this tree, and it was bent over at the waist.
It was like a 90-degree bend, you know, like at the waist, it was bent over, ducking down under these tree limbs.
And when this thing came out, it stood straight up, just straight up about two feet out of the trees, and it stopped.
And it took me a minute to figure out what, I was like, is that a hunter?
I was like, no.
Then I was like, okay, gilly suit.
And I was like, no.
And then I was like, well, that looks like a bear.
And I was like, no, that's not a bear.
And then all of a sudden it dawned on me.
I knew exactly what this was.
I was like, because my grandpa and grandpas would talk about these things,
logging and stuff.
So then I started to panic.
A million things went to my mind at that point.
And I really started to panic.
So I reached over for my shotgun.
I was going to grab it.
And I thought, no, don't.
Don't panic.
Don't panic.
I was really starting to panic at this point.
So I thought, don't panic.
Just don't panic.
Just stay here.
Stay here.
Stay here.
Stay here. Don't move.
Don't move.
Well, this thing was facing north.
And I was looking west.
And I had the wind in my face.
So I didn't think about this until later on.
So this thing was just standing there.
It never moved.
and never looked at me and never looked in any direction.
It just stood there still, about two feet out from the trees,
looking north up on this hillside.
And then it made a stand.
It yelled.
I guess that's what you would call it.
But it sounded like it said,
mer with a sharp chirp on the end of it.
Like a real low, loud, like a mur, like a bird chirp.

I can't do what it did.
I'm not even going to try because I sound like an idiot when I do.
But anyway, and I think this whole experience lasted.
I know I've said 10 minutes before, but actually kind of looking back, counting it,
I think it was more around 7 minutes.
So anyway, this thing yelled up on the hillside three times.
and it stood there for it didn't do anything.
It just stood there.
So after about a minute, it slowly backed up, it bent over again,
and went under the tree land that it came out from.
And it disappeared in the trees.
So all of a sudden, I see movement going from right to left where it came from.
And then I thought, man, I'm going to run.
I'm out of here.
And I just thought, don't do this.
Just stay here.
don't move because I wasn't sure what was what it went or and I knew how that
metal worked how the ground laid out and everything and I was just like just stay here
for a few minutes and let's just see what happens you know it's not coming
towards you just stay here so I'm sitting there and about I don't know I think
a minute or so goes by or two minutes I'm not real sure but anyway I was kind of
been a panic mode at this point. But anyway, I see movement come out again. And it did the same thing.
It ducked underneath his tree limbs. And it came out and it stood straight up again in the same
spot, about two feet out from the trees. And it was still looking north. It never looked at me
and never looked any direction. It never did anything. It was just totally still. And it did the same
thing. It hollered three more times up on the hillside with that same, it was like a
mer with a sharp turp on the end of it. And it stood there for about another minute,
maybe two at the most. And then, well, anyway, I was starting to panic again. And I remembered,
you know, hey, I got six rounds in that shotgun, you know, and I had two in my pocket.
So that's, yeah.
So at this point, I'm watching it, and it flicked its wrist.
It never moved the whole arm.
It just flicked its wrist, like a couple times.
Just I could see it moving.
And this one, yeah, it was black, but it looked silver.
And it was about, I think it was about seven and a half feet tall.
And when it flicked its wrist, I see movement again coming out from the left to the right through these trees.
And I thought there's another one, you know, almost.
And I was really starting to lose it at this point.
And I just kept yelling in my brain.
Just don't move, man.
Just don't move.
Work through it.
Work through it.
Just keep it together.
So this other one, it did the same thing.
It was been over.
but I don't think it knew it had as much
it didn't have room to stand behind the first one so when it came out
it was kind of at a 45 degree angle
and it
it came out to the left shoulder
of the one that was standing there and it was
facing like the northwest
it was about a 45 degree angle to the one
that was standing there and it was black but it looks
sober too
by now it's starting to get fairly light out
and I'm just I'm wanting to
run. You know, but I just kept telling myself, just don't move, man. Just don't move. So this one that
came out was about six and a half feet tall. It was about a foot shorter. I'm six foot three.
This one was about six and a half. It was about a foot shorter than the first one that came out.
But this one, it looked black, but it looked gray. I noticed on this one that,
And it had two horizontal black stripes on it, on its side, one under the armpit and one by the hip bone right here.
And I thought, well, that's kind of weird.
But about that time, it moved just a little bit to the right, not completely 90 degrees to me.
But it moved enough.
And it stood there for just a few seconds, and it moved just slightly again.
and I could tell this was a female because I could see the right breast.
And then the hands were more in front of it,
the first one, the hands were just hanging down to the sides.
But this one had its hands in front of it.
I could just see from the shoulders to the elbow.
And then as I'm looking at it, I noticed, well, I realized that not only is this a female,
but I think she's holding an infant because I could see over her right.
breast i could see just a little bit of a head sticking out it was like right between her her boobs i could
just see just the back of the head i mean i'm not i'm not a hundred percent sure but i'm about 98.5
percent sure that that's what she was doing she was holding holding it by the rear end and the stripes
going around her side was the arms and legs holding onto her like it was like bear hugging her
So anyway, they stood there for about a minute.
And this one did the same thing as the first one.
They were just looking up on the hillside.
They never, I don't honestly think they even knew I was even there.
And I'll kind of explain that here later from what I think happened.
But so they stood there for about another minute.
And then he either grunted or huffed.
He just went, well.
And as soon as he did that, they turned.
And thank God they walked to the west.
They walked across the me away from me.
And they went, she fell right in lockstep with him.
It was like they were marking.
When they moved left leg, right leg left, it was like, so she followed him across the
meadow, hit the tree line and went up into the trees and they disappeared.
So I sat there for about five minutes in like panic mode, trying to just calm down.
And I was looking around the whole time because I was like, you know, I was thinking,
why is he what's he hollering for you know i i think it was more of a rendezvous or they were trying
to meet up with others like them i i don't that's my theory on this so after about five minutes
i i got my stuff and i stepped out the back door and i was looking around it was pretty well daylight
by then and i was looking around because i was like i don't want to run into any more of these
so i really looked all around me and i went i kept the the blind
between me and them and I went straight up the hill.
I don't know I said stealthily, but before,
but what I mean by that is I didn't break nothing.
I didn't touch nothing.
I didn't make any sounds at all going back up that hill.
And I didn't take any time.
I mean, I wasn't horsing around with this one.
I wouldn't run, but I wasn't horsing around.
And I went up to about where I crossed,
and then I crossed back over the creek.
I hit the road and I came down and got my truck and I left.
So, yeah.
So anyway, I get home.
Yeah, it took me about three months to get over there.
I quit hunting because of this until about, that was 2016.
Yeah, about 2019, I started hunting again because it really got me.
And it affected me bad because I've always hunted by myself.
And I just never ran into anything like that.
You know, and you hear people say, you know, I've been hunting this area for 40 years.
Well, you know what?
You know, and they say, I never seen anything.
I said, well, you know what?
I did the same thing until that day.
The color of their hair, you know how I said?
They look black, but they look gray.
I didn't figure this out until about five months later.
And this is my theory on this.
Me and a buddy went out bear hunting that September.
I guess I did go hunting, but I went with a buddy.
And he ended up getting a bear.
But from a distance, it looked brown.
But when we walked up on it, it was blonde.
And wait a minute, is this the right bear?
So I went back a little ways and looked brown, but when I walked up on it, it was blonde.
I got to looking at the fur and the very quarter inch of the tips of the fur were brown, but the rest of the hair was blonde.
So at a distance, it looked brown, but when you got right up on it, it looked blonde.
So I think what happened was that they had silver tips on their hairs is what I think happened.
That's how they looked black.
I think the main hair was black, but they had silver tips on their hair.
So they look like a two-tone color.
I'm not really sure why that would be, but I've heard other people saying the same thing.
They look black, but they look gray.
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, so I think this is, well, the area that I was in, I think it's a migration route through there because it's on the east side of Mount Adams.
there's like, I don't know, a million acres of Yakima Indian Nation land out there that nobody's in.
I mean, there's a river, a major river that runs right up through there.
Nobody goes there.
So, in matter of fact, the area I was in was the east side elk cabin grounds for Mount Adams.
So, yeah.
And then since then, I've had four other people tell me of encounters in the same area.
these two guys told me one time that they were in the same area.
They were about a mile, actually about two miles west of where I was at.
And they come up over a hill and there was a pretty deep ravine right there.
And they were kind of going down into that ravine.
And all of a sudden they looked up into the ravine.
And both of them witnessed this.
They seen one of them walking, one big foot walking down that draw.
And they watched it walk about a mile down this draw until it disappeared.
And they turned around and ran out of there and got out.
and it never went back.
So that was one encounter that I've been told of since then.
And then another one was with another turkey hunter, him and his son was out there.
They were about two miles south of me, though.
They were little ways further down the mountain than I was at an old abandoned farmhouse.
And it was him and his son.
He just, his son who just got his hunter, hunter safety card.
And they had the turkey decoy set up in this meadow.
kind of like me. They went in the week before
and they built a blind, but it was just a U-shaped
blind where they just put limbs and stuff up
to about the, you know, when they're
sitting on a chair, they could just see you over it.
But he said
he started calling, and
after about 10 minutes of calling,
he looked down to the right-hand side
of this meadow, and he's seen
what he thought was a guy in a gilly suit
was running from oak tree
clumps to oak tree clumps, kind of
moving up on him on the right-hand side.
and he said it got within about 25 yards of him and he thought man
I don't want this guy shooting these turkeys thinking you know so when you got within
25 yards this thing went bound in between these clumps and he stood up and said hey you know
we're over here don't shoot he said this thing stopped and then it stood full up and then he
knew he wasn't dealing with a human he said this thing had a look of surprise like you wouldn't
believe on it he said his eyeballs were big his mouth was wide open and he said this thing spun around
and took off running the way it came in there and just disappeared in the trees.
So that was another sighting that happened in the same area, just a few miles south of where I was at.
There was one more siding. What was it? I can't remember now.
But anyway, so at this point, you know, I thought about this for about three months.
I just could not get this out of my mind.
But, you know, at the time, I didn't know anybody to tell this to.
So I just kept it quiet.
I never told anybody for eight years until May of 2023.
I'll get to that here in just a minute.
So, yeah, I didn't know anything about, I don't know if they even had big podcasts back
the end or I know they had researchers, but I didn't know anything about that stuff at that time.
but another sighting my wife had one in 2018 we live about 15 miles east of the site where I had mine my first one
and my wife was home sick one day well we have 10 acres on another it's a little river it's not a
a big river it's a little river and our back we have 10 acres and our back fence parallels this river
And from the back fence to the tree line, there was a row of trees there.
It's about 30 feet between the trees and the fence and then right past the hedgerow of trees.
There's the rivers right there.
So my wife was homesick one day from work.
And anyway, I got home from work and I walked in and she was just all in panic state of mind.
And I was like, what's wrong with you?
She's like, you're not going to believe what I've seen today.
And I was like, what did you see?
She was a big foot.
And I was like, huh, a big foot, huh?
really we're at she goes out out by the back fence and so what happened well she was laying in bed
sick and she got up to get something to drink and and you know get some hydration and as she was
walking back to bed she looked out the dining room window at the back fence and she's seen this
big foot walk out of the hedgerow trees it would have taken a left and walked north along the
fence it was about 100 I don't know about 100 yards or so up this fence line and then it
it went kind of down the hill and back through the trees down to the creek.
And I thought, huh, really?
So it scared her to death.
She,
she went and jumped back in bed and put the covers over her face until I got home.
So,
so anyway, she just thought for sure it was going to come through the door.
So anyway, I went out there and looked.
And sure enough, you can actually see where something had went through the summer follow.
Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

Well, it's the grass, we call it, that grows in the summertime, that dies off.
Anyway, you could actually see where something they'd walk down through there,
and then where it went down through the trees, but I didn't see anything.
So, so anyway, I got back to told her.
I said, yeah, it looks like something walked through there, but you can't really see me footprint.
You can just see the grass smashed down and stuff like that.
And she's like, well, you actually act like you believe me.
And I said, yeah, I do.
But I didn't.
I wanted to tell her at that point, but I just didn't.
So that was 2018, yeah.
So anyway, nothing really happened until 2022 in July of 2020.
22. My son was home from from the army on leave and he brought two of his army buddies with him.
And the landowner's son that owns the cabins, I'll call him Cal. He's a pretty good kid.
Him and my son have been buddies since first grade. Anyway, so it was Fourth of July. We had went up to the cabins and we were going to do Fourth of July at the cabins.
but I didn't get up there until about 9.30.
The cabins, they're about two miles away straight up the hill from where I had my first siding.
So, yeah, so I got up there.
It was just about dark, and there was a gate, you got to go, another gate.
So I went through the gate.
And as you go through the gate, it's about 100 yards up to the creek, and you got to cross the creek.
And it's not a very big one.
But anyway, so after you cross the creek, you take a right.
go up to the cabin and it's about 40 yards up to the cabin so anyway when i got there i had just
bought a couple of agam rattler 640s their thermals and then cal he had just purchased a pretty
high-in iR nod so the boys that they wanted to go play with them and stuff so i was like all right
and go ahead you know so i was in the cabin trying to get the fire and stuff going and they were down
down by the creek.
And they were looking through the thermals and stuff.
And like I said, I was trying to get the fire going.
And all of a sudden the door blasts open.
Here comes my son and Cal in there.
And they were just talking a mile a minute.
And the matter of fact, they scared me coming through the door.
I don't think they even opened the door now.
I think they just pushed the whole door in.
But anyway, they were kind of panicking and all excited.
And I was like, hey, wait, you know, slow down.
What are you guys talking about?
And he goes, hey, dad, there was something.
down there barking at us like a dog but it didn't sound like a dog it was too deep and it just
didn't sound right and i was like okay and then he said all of a sudden it started growling at us
like but it wasn't the dog it was just way too deep for a dog and then it kind of started clicking
in my mind i was like why didn't i why do we go why do we got to do this right now you know so i
I said, just stay in the cabin.
Give me one of those, give me the thermal.
And I had my shotgun with me, but it's not a hunting shotgun.
It's more than a ride.
But so I grabbed my shotgun.
I said, just stay here.
I'm going to go down there and look around.
So I went down there and I was kind of nervous about it, but I went down there and I looked all around.
I had a really good high-beating flashlight and had that thermal on me.
I was just looking around.
So I crossed the creek and there was a hedge row on the other side of the creek going up past the cabin of trees.
and I kind of walked up in their ways and was looking around.
I didn't see anything.
So I went back to the cabin, and I told him, I said, I didn't see nothing, man.
So probably whatever it was gone.
I kind of had in the back of my mind what was happening.
But I didn't tell him anything.
So I just told him, you know, just stick around the cabin for a while.
You know, don't go outside for a bit.
So anyway, off the east side of the cabin, they have a porch right there,
and it's enclosed.
you can't get off of it. It's about 10 feet to the ground.
And then the creek runs right by the porch right there.
But across the creek, there's a bank there.
And anyway, the boys decided to get out their rifles and pistols.
And they went out there and shot up the dirt for about 20 minutes, you know,
just pretty much wasting ammo and having a good old time.
So they got all done with that.
And we went back into the house or the cabin there.
And so I thought, well, I'd like to reload two,
23 brass and stuff.
So while they were in there having a good time party and stuff, I just went outside.
You have to go through the cabin, through the door, and come around the outside.
And, you know, I was picking up brass.
And I was out there for about five minutes picking up brass.
And I mean, dude, this yell from the east of me, this thing yelled like I have
never in my life hurt.
I could feel the ground shaking.
I could feel my lungs vibrating.
This is how loud this thing yelled at us.
And I think it was about 150 yards away.
man I stood straight up and looked at it and I remember saying what is that
I'd never heard anything like that before and I thought man it's time to get back in the cabin
so I went back in the cabin and the boys were like what what was that I said I don't know man
I don't know what that was so I said just turn the music off let's just sit here for 10 minutes
and let's just see what happens you know so we did we waited around for about 10 minutes
nothing happened we were all quiet and sitting there so
I said, well, I guess I said, well, whatever it was, I don't know what that was, but
let's just do whatever we were doing.
So they started middle around talking, turning music back up and stuff.
So I sat there for about five minutes and I thought, well, it's probably gone.
So I went back out the cabin door and I went back around and I was looking at the flash
side.
I didn't see anything.
I didn't have my no weapons on me or nothing.
And so I went back to pick it up shell caseings and I was doing it for about five.
minutes and to the north of us this thing it went from the east it went up the hill and it was just
north of us and i think it was only about 100 yards and this thing did it again i mean this thing was
vibrating windows man and i took off running for the cabin door right and i had to go all the way
around and get in so and i said man did you guys hear that and they're like yeah what was that i said
i don't know man i don't know what that is and he goes man my son goes man i could feel my my lungs
vibrating dad and i said i know
No, I was outside.
So, anyway, we sat there for about 10 minutes, and nothing happened.
Nothing happened.
So I was kind of nervous, and I went out on the front ports where you come in the door.
There's ports there, too.
So I went out on the front porch.
I was just kind of looking around up on the hillside with the thermal and stuff.
I didn't see anything.
So about five minutes went by.
This thing had came down.
It was on the east side.
that cabin and it did it again i mean it flat rattled the freaking doorknobs on this thing you know and i'm
like all right all right i've had enough this really pissed me off this time i went back in the house
cabin i grabbed my shagga and a thermal and a light and i said i'm going to find this thing
who's going with me i was just going to kill it i didn't care at that point and um my son goes well i'll
go with you and then one of his army buddy goes i'll go with you two the other two wouldn't leave
they're like i ain't going out there i said i don't care of
who's not going. I'm going out there. So anyway, they grabbed their rifles and I and he goes,
now where do you think it's at? I said, I think it's on the other side of a slash pile. Well, about
100 yards from the cabin on the east side, there's a big, they had it thinned and logged off in there.
There was a big slash pile right there. And then about 50 yards passed out, there was another creek
that went down. And I said, I think it's between that slash pile and that creek right there.
And I said, let's go. So I did. I went charging right out there, man.
And, well, we got within about 25 yards of the slash pile.
And I said, I think it's right on the other side of the slash pile, man.
So get ready to go.
So my son, he started getting scared.
He's like, yeah, I don't want to do this, man.
I said, I don't care if you want to do it or not, man.
We're going to go out here.
We're going to find this thing.
And he goes, I'm not going any further.
And then his buddy goes, I don't want to do this either.
So they started getting scared.
I said, well, I ain't going out here by myself, you know.
And he said, well, you better go back to the can.
And I was like, this is horse crap, man.
Here you guys are in the freaking army, and you guys are scared to go out here and see what this is.
But anyway, I was kind of virated about that.
But anyway, I'm kind of glad we didn't do it now.
So anyway, that was our second experience up there.
We had one more.
Yeah, we had one more.
We Elkhound up there, too.
So it was me and my daughter and the coworker.
we had something.
I was putting my daughter on a stand.
I moved my co-worker about 100 yards down the ridge from her,
and I went back up to her, and I said,
you know, I'm going to go down in this valley,
and they usually run up through here.
And you see anything with horns, you know,
it's a hair tag in our county.
So anything, any elk with hair, you can shoot.
So I said, if you see hair, just on an elk,
just start shooting.
Just make sure you get it down.
well right behind her
I mean it was 50 yards
behind her man something
you know you know what wood knocks
are this thing
man this thing sounded like it was a
10 inch long
it smacked this tree three times
so hard it sounded like lightning
matter of fact my daughter said what was that
and I was looking over her right shoulder back there
and I said uh I think it's time to go
so I didn't tell her what it was
but um anyway
We turned around and left and got out of there because I just didn't want to deal.
I didn't want to leave my daughter there alone and a coworker.
He was kind of elderly anyway.
I just didn't want to leave them there alone.
So I said, let's just go.
Let's just get back to the cabin.
We'll go out another direction later on.
And that's what we did.
So that was our third encounter up there.
And I haven't really been back there since.
Yeah.
It's just crazy.
I've tried and tried to get people.
to go up there, but up until this point, I didn't really know who to contact or it's never
been touched by any researchers in that area. So, oh, really? I think it's a pretty prime spot in there.
Oh, wow. And there's an old campground in there that I have, yeah, I have access to this whole thing.
And the creek actually runs right beside the campground. It's pretty nice in there, really.
but it's on private property and I've got the key to that campground so it would be we would be
probably five miles from no nobody can get in there I mean once I shut the gate that's it
and there's a gate on the campground too so that's that's wild so yeah it's it's just an
interrupting area have you ever reached out to anyone like anyone from the BFRO or any anyone
about the area or they just don't want to go
Well, that's that's kind of another story in itself, really.
I, let's see, April of 23, I was kind of flipping through my computer and I happened to just run across the BFR website.
It's just ironic how this whole thing happened.
And I got to look and then, I was like, wow, you know, that showed, you know, Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens, not Adams.
And I got the reading through it and looking at it.
And then I realized, why, you can go on expeditions.
I didn't know they even had expeditions for people, you know, just like me to go on, you know.
I thought it was all these, you know, academics and serious people that always went on the expeditions and stuff.
But, you know, I found out that it wasn't.
So I went in and I asked my wife, I said, hey, you want to go on a Bigfoot expedition?
And she looked at me like I just jumped off a cliff.
I said, no, serious.
Do you want to go on one?
And she's like, sure.
I don't think she was taking me real serious on this one.
But anyway, I got a hold of the BFRO and I signed us both up.
And anyway, they sent us the papers and we paid our fees.
And, you know, we were both pretty nervous on this one.
But it happened to be up at the Olympic project.
the BFRO and the Olympic project in August of 2023.
That's where we ended up going.
But before we went, we got interviewed by one of the lead researchers.
And one of his questions was he asked my wife, he goes, have you ever had experience?
And she said, yeah.
And she told her the story that she had.
Well, I'd never told my wife.
I'd never told anybody the story before.
And I thought, you know what?
If he asked me, I'm going to tell him the truth.
And sure enough, he asked me, have you ever had experience?
And I said, yes, I have.
And he goes, do you mind telling me it?
I said, nope, I sure don't.
I'll tell you.
So I ended up telling him the story.
Well, about three quarters of the way through this story that I just told you guys.
I look over at my wife and she has this look on her face like, what are you talking about?
You know, like that befuddled look, you know, like that bewildered.
like what you never told me this you know kind of that look you know so anyway when i was done
i i was shaking so bad when i got done with that story i had to hand the phone to my wife and and
i had to get up and walk around and she even told the investigator man he's shaking bad right now i don't know
it just it just kind of took me back to that day but so anyway we ended up going up there the
olympic project we had a sighting the first night i was with scott i was on scott taylor's team
We had one walk out in front of me about 30 yards away.
It was downhill on the trail.
There was three of us that were looking at that one.
And they ended up squatting down and doing the peek-a-boo up over the bush and around the trees.
And then it crawled off.
It laid down on its stomach and it crawled off into the trees.
So that next morning, we found, through the 12 or 15 footprints, right behind our camp.
It was only like 150 feet behind our camp.
they casted it was either six or eight of them they casted
that was our that was my second go around with that
and then this last year
we were up on the west side of Mount Adams
on another BFRO trip
and I I've really been into drones and stuff
helicopter remote control airplanes when I was a kid and kind of went to helicopters
and I got into the drones and stuff
Well, I went and bought a thermal drone.
So I was out there flying that around, and the first night out was kind of uneventful.
We've seen something coming up the hill towards camp.
Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.

It was a pretty good size, but I just couldn't do the thick brush and stuff.
I just couldn't make out what it was.
but the second night out, I ended up having a pretty good encounter where I got this one on
videotape. I got it on thermal and it appears to be, I don't know if I, did I sit in those
pictures to you?
You know, I don't, I don't think I got everything from you last time that we talked. We talked a lot
about it, but I don't think I ever got it in the email. Oh, you didn't? Okay, well, shoot, I'll
I'll have to get that to you, but anyway, the second night out, I was following the East team out,
and there was some ponds down in that area.
And I was about down to my last 10 minutes of flight time.
I was about a mile and a half out.
So I was flying back, and our South team was starting to have some activity, and they were right behind us.
And we had kind of a hundred, but there was a hill behind us.
It was fairly steep, but not that steep.
Went up about 100 yards, then it leveled out pretty good.
So coming back, I noticed these things.
two figures that were standing in the trees.
There was three meadows right in a row.
And in this first meadow, in the tree line, we noticed two figures.
There was four of us looking at this on the screen.
There was, I was on white hot settings.
There was four, or there's four of us watching it.
There was two individuals in the trees.
And as I got closer and closer, they walked out of the trees into the middle of this meadow.
And I started flying down on them.
I was like, wow, look at that, you know.
And then, but for some reason, I wasn't recording at that time.
I don't know.
I was just so mesmerized, I guess I don't know what I was thinking on this one.
So as I was flying down to them, they stopped.
And they both kneeled down in the middle of the meadow.
So I hit record because one was bigger than the other.
So I got them on White Hot for about two minutes, and then I switched over to a heat seek,
which it kind of dances around the body, the hot.
part of the body it'll pick up so the heat's always moving as it moves it it picks up that so
i got probably about a minute and a half of that and then yeah i was about out of battery time so i
thought well i should have stayed on station and just ran it right down even if i had to land it somewhere
and go get it i should have just stayed right there but i thought well i'll just sneak back here
put a battery in it and i'll fly right back there and get them again and and and
my drones have about a 40-minute flight time.
So I would have had plenty of time.
I could have stayed there for at least 30 minutes filming.
So I did a NASCAR battery swap.
Like, man, Del Earnhardt would have been proud of this one, man.
This thing didn't even hardly hit the ground.
I had the battery out, new battery in, and started up.
And I don't even think the props stopped on this thing.
So I had it back in the air, and I went up there, and they were gone.
So I think as soon as that drone left, they took off.
but I looked around for, oh, I don't know, over an hour.
I just flew up around those three meadows and just never seen them again.
So I guess hindsight's 50-50, I guess.
So the next day, we went and did a recreation of this with Scott Taylor.
So he went up there and he found that exact spot.
And Scott Taylor was about the size.
Oh, the two individuals that we've seen, one looks like a female,
a holding an infant with a juvenile off to her right side.
And so when he took a picture of him, you know,
in the same meadow kind of recreated the whole thing.
He's about the same size as the juvenile is.
So we're thinking this female is around an eight foot.
She's about eight foot tall.
And we also found some foot tracks up there from the female,
but the best one we found was 15 inches long and it was seven
inches wide and you can see all the toes you can see it's just a perfect footprint
and it's a left footprint is what it is but um and then we got three or four of the juvenile
that were fairly good i don't know you can definitely see the foot in a couple of them the toes
weren't real pronounced i don't know why but so anyway yeah that's pretty much the extent of my
Bigfoot outings. We have three more
coming up this year that we're going to go on.
We're going to go up into the blues on one.
A couple up in the
between
Mount St. Helens and Mount Adams again.
We've got a couple, I think,
coming up in there. So
it'll be south central
Washington somewhere.
I'm not really sure where they're going to be. I'm just kind of
guessing, but anyway.
So that's about the extent of my
big foot.
man that's some wild so far that's some wild stuff henry um uh that that that video that you took uh is is that
available to see anywhere on the internet yet or well no because i don't know i don't know how to do
that i don't i don't know how to put it on i don't i don't know you put it on a bigfoot podcast somewhere
Or like I wasn't sure if you had it like on a YouTube channel or anything I thought.
No, I don't.
Okay.
Wow.
Okay.
Hmm.
The first sighting that you had during the turkey hunting,
it sounds like you had a really good view of what was going on or of them themselves.
Would you categorize what you saw, are you even able to categorize what you saw?
Was it more ape-like or was it more human-like or something completely different than those two?
You know, man, I have thought about that and thought about it.
And I've had so many people ask me that question.
And I'm just like, I don't, it didn't have a cone head.
Neither one of them had a cone head.
They were round.
They looked round to me.
But on the other hand, I wasn't there observing.
in a beauty contest either.
You know what I mean?
I was just watching them to see.
I was pretty scared, man.
I spent
seven and a half years in the Army infantry.
And I don't think I've been
ever that scared in the Army.
I mean, this one scared me, man.
So I was like, this could be life ending.
If they find out I'm here,
I honestly don't think they even knew
I was there.
Because what I think happened,
I think when I got out of the truck
in the dark,
I think they were coming down the creek.
And when I turned and went up that intersection instead of going,
if I would have went to that second landing where I was going to go and drop down the creek
and go up to my, I would have ran face, I would have ran straight into them.
There was, there was no doubt in my mind.
I'd have been face to face with them.
Because they were right where I was going to go through.
So that's one thing that kind of,
I don't know.
Something saved me on that one, but at the last minute, when I turned and went up that intersection,
I actually think that they were coming down the creek, and I think we passed each other.
And when I crossed over behind them, I had the wind in my face, for one.
And I think probably the male seen that blind and walked over to it.
And I think that's how the sticks ended up on the ground behind the door.
I think he reached up there and grabbed him and looked inside and seen it was in.
empty and just drop those sticks right there that's what I think happened so and then they walked down
yeah so I think they already kind of figured that they had their backs already cleared you know like
they've already cleared the way like everything is safe they were just kind of looking it down
down the creek and up on the side of the hills and stuff but I honestly think they were
migrating back to Mount Adams myself I mean I it was springtime I guess it would be a good
the elk had moved out they were moving out going head and back so i i think they were just
kind of moving along with them or heading wherever they were going and i think he was hollering out
to more like him like a rendezvous point or something or seeing where everybody else was at or
i i have no idea what he was doing but the whole area is just it's so wild and it's come up
You know, a few different episodes over the last months, I believe there's been some individuals on that have shared about BFRO expeditions, west of Mount Adams, over by, well, we'll just say west of Mount Adams.
Henry, I hope that someday someone takes you up on checking out that area.
by Mount Adams, though,
that sounds like a very
a cool place to try to get some people
to research with you in,
you know,
maybe some researchers that you have connections with
through BFRO or something like that.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I've learned a lot.
I have learned,
it's been a pretty steep learning curve
since August of 23
on how
how it all works
on the expeditions
and I met a lot of interesting people
we've been to
quite a few conferences
we just got back from the one from Longview
just a couple weeks ago
the Squash Fest
in Longview
which was really good
I meant the guys from Flash of Beauty
they were up there I talked to them
that was interesting
Shane Corson was up there
Yeah, it's just been pretty interesting.
You know the one thing that kind of disappoints me about this whole thing?
Is I learned it to Bigfoot Society.
They eat their own, man.
I mean, they really do.
Maybe we could say Bigfoot community.
I would hope that, you know, the...
Oh, yeah, the Bigfoot Community is what I'm saying.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Bigfoot Society is my podcast.
But, no, I totally get it.
it is it can be a very oh yeah sorry about that yeah you're good but uh yeah it can get it can get
wow i didn't even think about yeah you're good um yeah it's uh it can be it can be dog eat dog and
and there's not a lot of people working together you know what i mean no and that's what i kind of
that's kind of what disappointed me when i got into all this i thought man you know this can be really
cool but it's like this group is on their own that group's on their own and if this group gets
evidence then this group attacks him and all that's just fake and you know then this group gets it
and it's just like this vicious circle and it's like a constant it seems like it's just a
i don't know it just seems like it's a constant fight you know yeah you know i i agree with you
it's just different it's a lot different i thought it would be yeah i think if we're going to get to the
point where stuff is actually going to, you know, things are going to start to come out.
I think certain groups will have to start working together.
And the tricky thing is, is that there's a lot of egos in the field.
So you've got some people where they're like, you know, I don't want to share information.
And then it's just interesting, you know, because sometimes you do have to keep places.
is not really talked about
so that it doesn't get flooded by
like a thousand people and then
blows the chance where you could be
observing. Well, right.
You know, so that it's a tricky, it's a tricky back and forth,
you know what I mean? But I think there needs to be more working between
groups, absolutely.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
It just totally caught me off guard on how that whole thing
kind of works and comes together.
But I guess it is what it is.
I'm kind of in my own private group now.
I mean, we do the BFRO expeditions too,
but we have kind of formed our own little private group.
And yeah, we'll see what happens this year.
Yeah, it's going to be interesting.
I mean, I learned a lot last year, too, so in 24.
So, and now I've got two thermal drones now.
Oh, nice.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
You know, before I let you go,
would you ever want to have
a
sighting experience
like you had during
that turkey hunt again? Would you ever
want to experience that again? Or was
that too much?
Well, at the time,
you know what? Actually, yes, I would.
Because at the time, I wasn't expecting
it. That wasn't even. Bigfoot,
I wasn't even on my freaking radar at that point, you know.
I had, no, I, that wasn't even in my outer banks of my memory thought, you know.
So, you know, I just wanted to kill them, you know.
I mean, if they were going to come at me, I was just going to start shooting, you know.
I wasn't going to mess around.
Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages.
Let's go, girls.
You know what I love about, Andy?
Everything.
Well, yeah, but it's as little as 20 bucks a month.

But now that I know, you know, it's just like in the cabin, you know, in 22, I didn't really know much about these things.
I figured we were about to get attacked and I'd rather attack than be attacked.
So I thought, well, let's just go get it.
You know, let's give it over with.
But now that I know what I know on how these things work, you know, after going to expeditions and talking to these people and, you know, when they holler like that, you know, they're just mad about something.
And I think what happened was, I think it was down there by the creek watching the boys.
And I think it got a little too close to it.
The boys got a little too close to it.
So I think it started barking at them like a dog to get them to back up.
And they didn't.
And that's when it growled at them.
And that's when they took off.
And when I went down there, I think it went up the hill a little ways by the cabin and was kind of observing.
And then the boys stepped out of the cabin with their ARs and rifles and started shooting into that bank.
And I think that that's what made it mad, you know, looking back on it.
So I think it was just mad because, yeah, they were out there making that noise and kind of shooting at it, I guess.
Right.
I mean, they weren't shooting at it.
They were shooting into a bank, but they were shooting in the general area.
So I think it made it mad, really.
Yeah.
But not realizing that at the time.
But now I do kind of realize what happened.
You know, I would never shoot one now.
I mean, absolutely not.
you know knowing when i know talking to the researchers and other people's experiences and what
happens when they do this and that and i don't think they're here to hurt anybody i've never
really heard of an attack i've only heard of one attack that was up by cougar washington okay
so where a hunter was killed so but i think he shot it shot a bigfoot and he killed so
yeah and that was on
I heard that on I think the Lynn Smith show
and that was the sheriff out of
Schemannia County had to deal with that one so
Gotcha that was back in the
I don't know if you've ever heard that one or not but
I haven't I'm going to have to look in
and see if I can track that one down
I know of that show but I've just
I've never heard that particular one
that's very interesting
but Henry it sounds like
you know you're definitely
getting into the thick of things and you're starting to figure some stuff out.
I mean, you've got, you know, three expeditions you're going on this year, which that's
amazing.
And I would say, you know, definitely keep me up to date and in the loop with what you, you know,
continue to learn as you continue to go down this road.
You're getting into some cool stuff.
Yeah, and I'll see you down at Oak Ridge.
Oh, will you?

I'm going down to Oak Ridge this year.

It's a little bit earlier.
So that'll be nice too.
But, yeah, no, I'll, I'm looking forward to meeting you there, Henry.
It'll be good time.
