Starting point is 00:03:00 through email to share what he has experienced over the years. A lot of interesting things that are going to be going on in this one. And I'll let him explain the exact region that we're talking about in Southwest Pennsylvania. But Dave, welcome to the show. Thanks, Jeremy. I appreciate you having me on. This sounds, there's going to be a lot of really interesting things that are shared. But I'd say, let's get right into it.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Feel free to share anything about yourself that you might need the listeners to know, where you're at and how you got involved with this whole wild Bigfoot thing to begin with. Sounds good. I guess I'll start at the very beginning. I live just outside of Pittsburgh and Mullen Hall. It's about 10 miles outside of Pittsburgh. And to be honest with you, I think that the very beginning was pretty much the day I was born, whether it be coincidence or whatnot. But I believe that the Patterson Gimlin film is probably about the best evidence there is for Bigfoot. And I was born on when the film was made, 10, 20, 67. And growing up, I know, like a lot of viewers mentioned that I was always interested in the Bigfoot thing growing up in the 70s and watched the, I was always anxious to watch the search of and the Bigfoot documentaries and for Internet and all that.
Starting point is 00:04:21 The $6 million dollar man movie or show that was on back in the 70s, like they had the Bigfoot episode with that. I've heard people mention that and that was like my favorite six. I just always seemed to be connected to it. So I was always interested in it. And I didn't have any experiences till, I believe, was 1987. And for whatever reason, that summer, that year, there was a lot of sightings in the Pittsburgh area. This is before the internet, the cell phones, and everything. And I remember that, like, the local news channels they had in the newspapers they had.
Starting point is 00:04:59 There was a lot of reports. So they actually had articles and they had like artist sketches of what people saw in the paper and things on the news about it. And there was just a lot of sightings. I believe it was 87. But in that year, I believe it was in the spring. So the snow was melting. And we had a cabin up in on the Laurel Ridge. It runs parallel to Chestnut Ridge.
Starting point is 00:05:22 It's a little southeast of Pittsburgh, about 50 miles away. And we had a cabin right next to my house. my buddy's cabin. The cabins were situated on a, basically a hillside that went on crest of the ridge, and then went into a deep drainage behind that. So when he turned up the driveway, my buddy's cabin was on the left, and then our cabin was up a little bit into the right, so had a corner to it. And straight across from his cabin and down from our cabin was like a one-acre stand of pretty thick pine trees. So that spring, I believe was 87. And in that spring, when the snow was melting, there was patches of snow, the ground was soft, it was melled off.
Starting point is 00:06:05 And the one weekend, there were footprints that came from behind our cabin, across the driveway, through the backyard of my buddy's place, and he saw footprints in the snow where there was patches of snow, where it wasn't snow, you can see the deep impressions in the soft ground of the footprints. The footprints went back behind his place, and they had a name. ground pool behind their cabin. And there was like a four-foot cyclone chain-link fence around the pool area. And you followed the footprints, and they were long strides, obviously. And when you got to the corner of the pool area, so if you're looking at the pool was like the back right corner of the pool area, closest to the yard. The footprints went back, and then there were snow back there,
Starting point is 00:06:53 at that time it was shaded. And there was a footprint outside the chain-length fence. Then there was a footprint inside the chain-link fence, inside the pool area, and a footprint back outside the chain-link fence. So it's made one footstep inside the pool area back in the back corner, but basically it almost didn't break stride and walked right over the four-foot fence like it wasn't even there. So that was our first kind of inclination that, hey, maybe Bigfoot is wrong. And that was in, I believe, like I said, March and the spring when the snow was melting off.
Starting point is 00:07:31 And then so later that year, I believe it was in June. Me and my buddy, they had a pretty big driveway. So they had a basketball hoop in the in the driveway. So one night, I think it was June. We were out with my girlfriend at the time. There was me and my buddy, my girlfriend, and we're playing a game of horse, shooting basketball. And it was about 11 o'clock at night or so. And it was a really calm night, quiet, and we got this odor, this pungent odor.
Starting point is 00:08:00 It's unforgettable. It's almost undescribable. But if I had to describe it, I would describe it as probably like 50% rotting flesh, like a deer crock, carcass rotting in the August heat, and maybe 40, like a garbage smell, just like a rotting garbage smell, maybe like a tent. percent like a skunky smell. And we smelled it. And like I said, there was no wind, but there was, so it was coming from back behind us. So it was like the thermals were, I was getting cool where at night. And you could just, you'd get a whiff of it now and then. And it was really pungent. It like coated the back of your throat. It was in your mouth up your nose, like almost burned your nose. So if I came and went, then it went away. So we were shooting basketball for a little while longer. And it was a little later. So it was maybe midnight, 12, 30.
Starting point is 00:08:52 and we weren't even shooting basketball and we're sitting on the wall and we're just sitting here talking quietly and we smelled the same smell again and so we jokingly said they say Bigfoot has a bad odor gas probably Bigfoot and haven't seen them tracks a few months earlier kind of thinking maybe it's Bigfoot so we're sitting there joking about it and but now the smell wasn't going away this lasted maybe 15 minutes or so and we're sitting there quietly and we heard footsteps coming, and they came from back behind my cabin, and they went into that stand of pines that was across from where we were playing basketball and down from my cabin. It's like a one acre stand of pines, and you can hear and feel each footfall coming through those pines. And it's an older stand of pines, so there's probably a foot or two of pine quills laying on the ground. There's no leaves or anything. It's all pine quills.
Starting point is 00:09:49 but you can feel and hear each footfall, and it was just like, boom, a steady gate right through those pines. And it went diagonally through the pines, came out the bottom of the driveway. You heard each footfall across the driveway, then crossed the road. And below the cabin was three small ponds. So it went into the center pond,
Starting point is 00:10:14 and we heard splashing around, sloshing around in the lake. At this point, We're scared. We're standing by the corner of the door ready to run in the cabin. You can feel the power in the footsteps, and you can feel it in your chest, the massiveness of this thing. And so we're standing by the door, and we're listening to this thing in the lake, and it's sloshing around. And I didn't know what it was doing, but you can hear just splash and sloshing, whatever it was doing in there.
Starting point is 00:10:41 At that time, we thought it was, who knows, chasing fish, whatever. We didn't know what else it could be. It wasn't no bear. bipedal, it was two footsteps coming through those pines. And we listened to it for a while. I got a rock. I ran out into the driveway and I threw a rock down over the hill towards the road. And the rock didn't make it to the lake, but it made it down by the road. And when the rock hit down near the road, it got dead quiet. And there was nothing. It was just silence. So we stood by the door to cabin for a while. And then we waited, didn't hear nothing. So I went out and I threw
Starting point is 00:11:18 another rock down there. When I was through the second rock, it tore out of there. It came out of the lake, and it basically took the exact same path that it took down to the lake. It ran across the road, but it wasn't walking. It was a much quicker pace. And come up through the pines, back behind my cabin, and went into the drainage behind our cabin. And that was pretty much for that. But learning, I'm going to jump around a little bit because obviously with the internet and I'll get into what happened to me recently over the past three years or so. And just to jump around, not to forget this, and what I learn now and what I think now and don't understand is, so this thing came through that stand of pines.
Starting point is 00:12:07 And it's a thick stand of pines. I'm 5'9, 200 pounds, and I couldn't walk with a steady gait through those pines without ducking and weaving between trees. or branches or whatnot. And this thing came through there like it was walking across an open field. The trees weren't even there. It was just a steady footprints, boom, coming through those pines. No tree breaks, no leaves, there was no leaves in there,
Starting point is 00:12:34 but no branches breaking, just steady footsteps all the way through those pines. And I just, if this didn't see it, but say it was seven, eight foot tall and 800 pounds, there's no way in the world this thing can walk through there. at a steady gate without moving trees, breaking trees. So I just, I didn't even really think about that until this year and how that could be. And so that was it for that. And then later that year in the fall, me and my buddy, we were out riding quads.
Starting point is 00:13:06 And there was a, we were on a sole railroad track, but it's a bike trail now. And we were actually out near where all my, a lot of my current experiences are going on. And we were riding and we were along a creek and it was a thick part of the creek where there's a lot of mountain laurel, rhododendron down in the creek bottom. And it gets really thick down in there. And we were going down on a quad path and I was out front and my buddy was behind me. And we just hit a patch where I smelled that exact same smell again that we smelled that night. We were shooting basketball. And like I said, it's an unmistakable smell.
Starting point is 00:13:45 It's a one-of-a-kind unique smell. And so I just kept going. I went another couple miles. And I pulled over just to put some distance between us and the smell. And my buddy pulled over behind me and he took his helmet off and he came up to me. He said, you smelled it. Didn't you? I was like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:01 I said, I did. And it's, like I said, it's a unique smell. And that was pretty much it for the 80s. And then so then I pretty much didn't have anything for 33 years or so until, you know what, It's Halloween, actually. So it was Halloween 2020, so four years ago. And so there's a 33-year gap there where I had some things happened looking back on it, maybe a couple times throughout the 33 years that maybe wasn't a bear, maybe it was something else.
Starting point is 00:14:35 It's pretty much nothing. And then I'll get into the 2020 thing on Halloween that pretty much changed everything for me and my son. My son was with me. So Halloween, 2020, my son and I, we were near Forbes State Forest, down in southeast. Or, yeah, a little south. It's probably 70 miles, I'd say southeast of Pittsburgh or so.
Starting point is 00:15:06 And we were down there on our hunting, and there's some game lands down that way. And we were hunting deer and I think it was archery bear. also in the morning. And then we hunted pheasant in the afternoon. Had nothing to happen in the morning. Hunted pheasant in the afternoon. And we got, I think my son limited out.
Starting point is 00:15:27 So he got two birds and I got one. And so for the evening, we were going hunting, but in a different spot than we hunted. And we went in and we hunted. It was a beautiful day. It was actually warm for Halloween. But it was a calm, sunny day, not a cloud in the sky. It was actually also the first time there was a full moon on Halloween in decades.
Starting point is 00:15:52 I don't know the exact number, but it was a long time since there's been a full moon on Halloween. 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. Ooh, well, the little pink pill has always been a pretty big deal. A really big deal.

Just open the bag and enjoy. No overthinking, no tough choices. When it comes to snacking, Skinny Pop just makes sense.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Deliciously popped, perfectly salted. Skinny Pop, popular for a reason. We went hunting and put up. But my son, he was at the time 13, 14, something like that, I put him in a spot and they were capped off gas well where they capped it off and they planted some grasses and clover and the deer were coming there in the evening. So I put him there and I wasn't far from because he was still young. And that was maybe 300 yards past him up the ridge further. And so we hunted till dark and we had radios. So my son came on the radio and said he had three dough in front of him in the field.
Starting point is 00:18:42 So we gave it some time, but they weren't moving off. They were feeding. I told my son, and he was just sitting on a hillside, camouflaged and covered up with some mountain laurel, and didn't want him to give up his spot and showed a deer where he was. So I told him just to sit tight, and I'll walk down the path, let me spook the deer walking down the path that's more natural. so they don't, you know, get educated as to where he was sitting. So I did that, walked down the path, spooked a deer, the sun come down to me,
Starting point is 00:19:13 and we talked a little bit. And like I said, it was a beautiful, probably 45, 50-degree night. And the moon was just starting to come up. And but the sun was down. So it was pretty much dark at this point. We had about a mile walk out of the woods. So we started walking out of the woods. It was dead quiet.
Starting point is 00:19:35 And I'm talking on the way out and didn't even need flashlights because the moon was just coming up. It was just lighten the tops of the tree tops up. It was huge. I think it was the harvest moon. Maybe it was the harvest moon. It's a big full moon. And we're working our way out. And so it probably took us a good 20 minutes or so to walk out.
Starting point is 00:19:55 So it's well after dark when we get back to the truck. As we approached the truck, like just we were maybe 20 yards from the truck. and where the truck was parked, it's on a dirt road, and you can maybe fit two trucks where we were parked. And in the bottom of the draw, there's a little bigger parking area. You probably fit maybe five or six trucks down there. And coming from that area in the bottom of the draw, as we approached the truck, there was a scream.
Starting point is 00:20:27 And I've heard this said before, but that's what it sounds like. It sounds like a woman being murdered, just this hellacious blood-curdling scream, and it did it three or four times. And it just puts you into instinct adrenaline mode. And my son, yeah, his name's Mark, so I'll just refer to him as more A's Mark. And he said, what was that?
Starting point is 00:20:52 And I was like, I don't know. I says, maybe an aisle, because you can tell it wasn't, it didn't seem like it was on the ground. It was elevated. And it wasn't that far away. It was maybe 80 yards away, I'd say. And so it did it three or four times. We were freaked out by that. And directly across from where the screen came from, I hear these big tree branches getting broken. And it sounded like a bulldozer starting to go through the woods.
Starting point is 00:21:24 And at that time, this is an area where we bear hunt. And there was a big bear in the area that was, the game commission knew about it. And we actually talked to them. They said it had a collar on it. And they obviously, they weigh them and they check them and put collars on them. So they knew it was 600 plus pounds. So it was a pretty good size bear. And we knew it was in the area.
Starting point is 00:21:48 And I told my son, Mark, I said, I bet you that's that bear. And it's getting right across the road. So I pulled my light out and I shined it down the road. and hoping to get a glimpse of it crossing the road. And then once I shine the light down the road, where the stick brakes were coming from, it got real quiet. And then, I don't know, it was maybe a minute went by.
Starting point is 00:22:14 And then slowly you can hear more sticks breaking in it. And it was working its way back down the valley. And it just, we listened to it for a while. I turned the light off. And like at this point, I'm not thinking it's been 33 years since anything Bigfoot related happened to me. So at this point, I'm thinking that there was possibly an owl that screeched or screamed. I've never heard owls and hawks, even crows, foxes, coyotes. I've heard a lot of strange stuff in the woods and life, but nothing quite like this woman screaming thing.
Starting point is 00:22:50 And so that kind of threw me for a loop. And then as things working its way down the valley, it's just, it's what, it's, it's, it's, It sounded like a bulldozer going down, just big trees being pushed over, big trees snapping. And I just couldn't explain what that was, and other than the bear. And it went down the valley of ways, and then it got quiet. We didn't really think too much other than that. And so I opened the tailgate of the truck, and we started taking our gear off and putting stuff away. And so we're throwing stuff in the back of the truck, and we're sitting there, and we're talking a little bit.
Starting point is 00:23:24 and maybe 10 minutes goes by. And we both had crossbows. So my son asked me, he says, got to discharge the crossbows. I was like, we have a discharge target to discharge them. And sure, go ahead. So he put the target out. And like I said, the moon's coming up.
Starting point is 00:23:47 It's almost like daylight. So I held the light on the discharge target so you can shoot the crossbow. And like I say, it was dead calm. No wind. Just no cacadas, no nothing. No crickets. Just dead calm. No noise to speak of it all.
Starting point is 00:24:08 So he discharged the crossbow. And they make a pretty good noise when he discharged them. And it echoed, you know, it almost as quiet as it was. It's not like a gun going off. And it echoed across the valley. And so he walks back over to the truck. And it wasn't 10 seconds later. And there was three knocks down in the valley where we heard all this stick breaking and trees breaking down towards where it was headed.
Starting point is 00:24:38 And we heard three knocks. And at this point, I never heard wood knocks before. And I never even heard of these things other than the TV show. And, you know, when the kids were little, they'd watched the TV show. And I know you're just one I'm talking about. I don't really care to promote their stuff because I don't agree with what they stand for. But so anyways, my son at least there was three of them. Was that wood knocks?
Starting point is 00:25:06 I was like, I don't know. And so right after that, there was a, so there's a creek that goes down there. And down where these noises came from, it's just like a shallow creek. and we heard a rock thrown in the creek and you can almost like a river rock, a five-pound river rock thrown up the creek and you can hear a clack on the rocks and splashing the water and then come to rest. And so now I'm thinking there's other hunters coming up the valley
Starting point is 00:25:39 or down or screwing around, beating on trees or throwing rocks or whatever. So that's what I told them. Because like I said, Bigfoot isn't even on my mind at this point. I thought I heard maybe an owl and a bear. Now we're hearing hunters coming up the valley. And so didn't even, big foot isn't even going to need in my mind. And so we're getting things together.
Starting point is 00:26:01 And he goes to discharge the other crossbow. And he shoots it. Same exact thing happens. There's three wood knocks, maybe a 10 second break. And then there's a rock thrown up the creek. Same way. Then there's, you can hear a rock clack belt hitting rocks in the creek. the water splashing, comes to rest.
Starting point is 00:26:21 And to now I'm thinking, yeah, there's guys coming up the valley. So there's really not a lot of places to park around that area, and it's pretty remote. And so I walked out onto the road, and I looked down into that lower parking area, and there was no vehicles. There was no vehicles on the road. There was hardly any traffic on this road at all. And so there was nobody there. So that kind of made me think of hook of dismay.
Starting point is 00:26:47 But, and I'm thinking it's Halloween, who knows? Maybe someone is coming up through there, maybe, you know, are goofing off, screwing around. So we waited a while. And so where we were parked, the creek that the rocks were being thrown in, it actually goes under the road right near where we were parked. And when it crosses under the road, comes out the other side. If you go down there about 40, 50 yards, there's a beaver had that. dammed up down there. And so the water was probably four feet deep right there, but then on our side of the dam just turns into a babbling brook for the rest of the way down. And so we're
Starting point is 00:27:29 sitting there and putting the bows away, putting gear away and stuff. And we had them three pheasants from earlier in the day that we got. And we were debating on whether to clean the mare or take them back to the cabin and clean them. So we're sitting there. And then we hear this pretty close to us down in the creek right across the road from us where the beaver has it damned up. We hear these, we didn't know what it was at the time. Like I said, we're not thinking nothing about Bigfoot yet. And we hear these kerplunks coming towards us through the beaver or the beaver has it damned up. And you hear plunk, kerplunk.
Starting point is 00:28:15 and my son's, what's that noise? I was like, I don't know. And then you hear another one, Karpunk. And I just couldn't imagine what it could be. And it sounded like it was getting closer. So the anything I could possibly remotely think was there's a gas line right up the road. And when I first started hunting back in, I don't even know, 84, 85, first places I hunted, my buddy, he had a camp up, Allegheny National 4th. forest up in northern, northwestern PA.
Starting point is 00:28:48 And we hunted up there, and there was beaver ponds up there, and gas lines run all over the place up there. And a lot of gas lines up there have holes in them, and they bubble up to the beaver ponds, and there's this big elephant grass everywhere. So I think I could tell my son was in Karpunks, where, like, maybe gas leaking out of the gas lines, and maybe elephant grass over the water, over the line, and building up a little air bubble and going plunk and that's the only I'd come up with because but I knew there was no gas there the gas lines up the road more and I know where it runs and doesn't run through that creek
Starting point is 00:29:23 so that's all I could tell them so we're sitting on a tailgated truck and we're debating on cleaning these birds there or not and then we heard a splash it was pretty loud but I rode it off as a beaver tail splash because there's a beaver there's a beaver pond there It didn't quite sound like a beaver tail splash. I mean, I've heard them. I've been in kayaks close to their huts, kayaking fishing in different lakes and have them splash real close to me, and it didn't really sound like a beaver tail slap.
Starting point is 00:29:55 But I wrote it off. Like I said, I'm still not thinking Bigfoot about any of this stuff. So we're debating on the birds, cleaning the birds, sitting on a tailgate talking a little bit. The moon's coming up. It's really getting pretty bright out. and a truck comes down the road. He goes down to that lower parking area,
Starting point is 00:30:15 backs in, sits there a minute, turns around and goes back up past us. And we're well after dark. It's at least an hour after dark, if not more. And I thought he was turning around to see if maybe we got a deer or if we need help getting something at. But he came back up past us and just kept going. And he went up around the bend.
Starting point is 00:30:36 And as soon as he went around the bend, there was a rock thrown in that beaver pond not far from us, maybe 30, 35 yards from us. And there's thick hemlocks in there, and it's real thick, like, almost like scrub oak down in there. It's just a tangled mess of scrub oak and hemlocks. And so we couldn't see, you can't see much past the other side of the road. But this thing threw a boulder in there. and we were both in the air off the tailgate and in the truck simultaneously.
Starting point is 00:31:12 We didn't say anything. It was just instant. You felt a concussion in your chest. It was big. It was like a 200-pound sack of cement was thrown in there. And you heard the boulder hit the bottom of the water as a creek and hit other rocks. It was big. So we get in a truck and I didn't even say anything to my son.
Starting point is 00:31:34 he's freaked out, I'm freaked out, and we close the doors. He says, you know what that is, right? I'm like, yeah, I like, yeah, there's nothing else really to explain off here. And so I start the truck up and we're getting ready to tear out of there. And I stopped right before we pulled onto the road. And I told my son, and he's freaked out. And he's like hyperventilating. And I'm freaked out.
Starting point is 00:31:58 And I had my experiences in the 80s and I told him that. And I said, like I said, they watched the TV show. And everybody's armchair quarterback when you're sitting at home watching TV. But when you're in the woods and this actually happens to you. And everybody says, oh, I'd go throw rope around his neck and drag him to town. I mean what it is. When this thing actually happens to you, it's life changing and it's very little scare the hell out of you. And so I left it up to him and I said, this is up to you.
Starting point is 00:32:26 If you want to stay here and see what happens or you want to go home, we'll go home. He says, all right, let's stay. So I didn't stay in that spot because, like I said, we were really close to where this thing just threw that boulder. So we went down the road and I backed into where that bigger parking area is about 80, 800 yards away or so. And just to give myself some more distance. And I backed in there, shut the truck off, put the window halfway down. And I had a 44 mag next to me, and I was still scared. I just felt it wasn't going to do anything anyways.
Starting point is 00:33:02 So we sat there for probably a half hour, and it was dead quiet, not a peep, no crickets, no, nothing, dead silence. And like I said, it's probably at least two hours after dark now. And we sat there for a half hour, nothing happened. 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.

Starting point is 00:35:30 case something would happen so I can try to record something. And nothing happened. So my wife calls me and she asked me like, where are we at? And I'm like, and I started telling her what was going on and she's telling us we're crazy, come home, get something to eat, blah, blah, blah. And I said, no, this is no job. this is really happening. And so we're talking to her and a car comes past and went the same direction as the truck did,
Starting point is 00:36:01 maybe an hour earlier. It was the last vehicle that went down the road was that truck. And then this car comes past. I'm talking to my wife on the phone. And as the car goes up around the bend, and mind you, we're further away than we were before, this thing through another boulder in that dammed up part. of the creek and same thing we were in the truck and you felt a concussion in your chest and it displaced the water and it's it scared us and we were sitting in the truck and I just first thing
Starting point is 00:36:34 that popped into my head is this thing thrown boulders 200 pound boulders it gets pissed off enough I don't want it coming down to the truck and throwing a boulder through the windshield and killing me my son both of us so now I was scared for our safety so I took off and I just took off and I just didn't go back past where the boulders were being thrown. I went the other way. So I drove out to the T on the road, which is about, I don't know, maybe a mile and a half or so. And we sat there, we were pretty shook up. And we sat up there for, I don't know, maybe 15 minutes or so. And we call them down. And we were actually going to leave from there because I just, I didn't want to get hurt, didn't want my son get hurt, and whatnot. But we decided to go.
Starting point is 00:37:21 back pass through and just drive through and shine the light down where the creek goes where it was dammed up and just see if we see something. But we were going for probably 15, 20 minutes. So we come back down and I wasn't stopping to just creep through there and my sun shined the light down the creek and didn't see nothing. And so we just kept going, went up around the bend and there's a small lake there and come around, it makes an S-Bend, so we come around the other part of the S-bend, and there's, I didn't count the deer, they had to be at least six to eight those that were freaked out. I've never seen deer act like this.
Starting point is 00:38:02 I've been hunting the whole life for four years. And they were like, if you watched a litter of kittens playing with a ball of yarn, how they jump on top of each other and they're skittish, and they just, they turn their head real quick and they dart from one spot to another, that's what they were doing. And these deer were freaked out. out. And I was blown away by that. So we went past the deer and we turned around and came back again. And there was one, when we turned around and came back and we were only going a minute, the older deer were gone except one. And it was standing in the middle of the road and it was looking away from us down towards we were just having this encounter in the thick stand of hemlocks. And it was just
Starting point is 00:38:44 staring and stomping its hoof, staring in those hemlocks. And I kept up, up on the deer in my truck in the middle of the road and it didn't even pay us no mind it just was staring in them in them hemlocks stomping its foot so eventually it looked at us and it looked back and it looked back and forth a couple times and then it bolted into the woods so we went back down there and turned around came back up and we sat up higher or the deer were and we sat there for probably another 45 minutes or so and it was quiet and it was over. But my feeling is that when we approached the truck and that scream, that thing screamed three or four times,
Starting point is 00:39:27 I think just by random, we approached the truck the same time these beings were trying to cross the road. And I think one or two of them were on our side of the road and the rest of them were on the lower side of the road. And we cut them in half. and I think that's why they were so aggressive and why they did what they did because they were separated. But that's just the feeling I got. And so after that happened, I called my buddy because I remember, I think it was a couple, maybe a year before that, we were bear hunting.
Starting point is 00:40:01 And we were in a one convenience store and they had a piece of paper on there with a phone number. And you pulled a phone number off and it said something about if you see paranormal, or aliens, UFOs, Bigfoot, whatever, called this number. So I knew my buddy took a picture of it on his phone. So I called him and I got the number and I called because obviously this is a really hot, fresh encounter and I'd figure with everything that was going on that night the next morning, there should be fresh footprints, tree breaks, the whole nine yards. So I called the number and left the message and unfortunately nobody responded to me for two weeks.
Starting point is 00:40:43 And so me and my son, we came home after that. We didn't go back to the cabin. I have a small, it's a one-room cabin about, it's 18 miles from where this experience happened. And so we didn't go back to the cab. We came home. And so we debated it during the night. And we said, you know what? There was a cold front.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Like I said, it was a beautiful day that day. The next day around noon, there was a cold front coming to, and the temperature was dropping. It was actually supposed to start snow up in the mountains. And so I says, you know what, let's get up early tomorrow morning. we'll go up there in the daylight and just poke around a little bit, see if we see anything. So we did that. We went up there, and we went to where the boulders were being thrown in the creek, figuring, in my mind, there has to be a big dirt socket somewhere on the ground
Starting point is 00:41:32 where this thing picked up a boulder and slammed it into the damned up part of the creek. And so we go in there, and it's, like I said, there's hemlocks there, and they're covered, a lot of boulders, a lot of the logs and everything are covering moss. So it would stick out like a sore thumb if something picked up a hundred-pound boulder and threw it into that creek. And we looked and we couldn't find anything. We found one small branch broken and we found one footprint, which I took pictures of this stuff. And it's not a footprint in the mud or anything, but you can see it plain as day. It's harder on the camera on the phone.
Starting point is 00:42:07 But it's an impression in the leaves because all the leaves were fluffed up. This is end of October. All the leaves just fell. And it was a, you can see it, Plains Day, stuck out like a sewer film. But it was only one print, which was odd. And I was like, how do you have just one footprint? And so we took a picture of that. And we're going up and down the creek.
Starting point is 00:42:26 And from the beaver dam all the way up to the road, both sides. And we can't find anywhere where this thing pulled three boulders out of the ground and slammed it into the creek. And so then it hit me. This, it didn't pull the boulder off of the land, off of the dry ground. When we heard those kerplunks coming up through the creek, it was in the creek. So we heard we are we are it was walking in the four foot part of the creek. So it didn't have to grab a boulder from the ground.
Starting point is 00:43:01 It probably just bent over, grabbed the boulder out of the bottom of the creek, picked it up and slammed it back down. That's why we didn't find any muddy dirt sockets. of where there's a boulder missing. And that kind of solidified what the Karpunkin noises were. And so we went back up and I had a tape measure in my truck and I measured the footprint
Starting point is 00:43:22 and it was roughly 18 inches long and 10 inches wide. And so we measured as far as I can reach without going in. It was three and a half feet deep where as far as I could reach with a tape measure to see how deep it was out there or the creek stamped up.
Starting point is 00:43:40 And that's waste deep on a normal human being. So for this thing, for these footfalls to come straight down on top of the water and make that kerplunkin noise, there was no wading, there was no splashing. It was just kerplunk. Like these footfalls were coming straight down from the top into the water. And this thing had to be enormous to have footfalls come down into the water like that. And so two weeks later, I got a phone call from the phone number. And I told them, gave him a brief description of what happened.
Starting point is 00:44:13 And then they referred me to a guy in West Virginia. And I called him, and we talked. And I was telling him my story. And so this kind of goes into Big Brother is always listening. He's listening now. And I called him, and I was three quarters of the way through telling him our experience. And we got disconnected. And when I say disconnected, it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:44:40 a drop call. It wasn't nothing like that. It was, there was a pop in the phone. If you had an electric guitar and an amp hooked up to it and you had it on full power and you yanked the cord out of the amp and it makes that loud electronic pop, that's what it was. I actually pulled jerked the phone away from my ear. That's how loud it was. So I'm sitting here and I was like, wow, I can't believe that just happened. And then the guy from West Virginia, he calls me back on a different line. and he's like, yeah, he's that happens all the time. And that's what he said. He says, that's a big brother.
Starting point is 00:45:13 He watches me all the time. If I don't like what they're hearing, they disconnect me. And I was like, really? And he's like, okay. And so I finished telling him my experience. And so he asked me at the end of talking to him, what do you think Bigfoot is? And at that point, you know, I knew of two camps.
Starting point is 00:45:34 There's the epithicus, the missing link, the ape thing, that belief and then there's the other side that's aliens spiritual interdimensional which I was in the the physical part the the missing link thing that I couldn't comprehend the other part of it and so I was in the physical part the missing link physical cyclone epithicus you know just alluding everybody and that's where I was at that point and but that really so after that experience that really it it was like change and for me and my son. And so that started my search on the internet for different things. And to be honest with you, most of those stuff on our internet is BS and clickbait. And so I settled on
Starting point is 00:46:22 a few different channels and they were all pretty much like yours that has viewers tell their experiences. And I think that's the most credible ones. And so I started listening to those. And one of the first one I, one of the first ones I got to was Steve's channel, How to Hunt. And I really listened to that a lot because he just rereads pretty much the email to come into him about different experiences and he seems like a no BS kind of guy. And so I listen a lot to him. And so here's, and I am, I'm not a computer. I'm not a internet guy. I'm not a computer guy. I dread it, to be honest with you. I'm old school. And so I listen to the, Steve's channel for, oh, I'd say a few months. And I found, and I never described any or subscribed
Starting point is 00:47:13 to anything before. And I decided to subscribe to his channel because it just makes it easier. When new content comes out, it automatically pops up. And this is the first time I'd ever subscribed to anything. Even really, I never even watched YouTube or anything before this. And I subscribed to his channel. And it was later, it was like 10, 1030 at night or so. and every morning when I got up I had a routine where I would search kind of same things on Google and at the time I was looking for some property and I was searching some things like every morning I searched the same thing like things for sale and stuff so I subscribed to this channel like 1030 at night the next morning I got up and your how Google tracks you and and as soon as you go on to
Starting point is 00:48:00 Google all your recent search stuff comes up and when I pulled Google up my entire entire search history was cleared off my phone. There was nothing. It was blank. And then so I went to, and I looked and I went to Steve's channel and I was automatic, I was unsubscribed from his channel. And this was less, this was only 12 hours of fat. I just subscribed to his channel. And then my whole phone, my whole Google search history was erased. So I thought that was really strange. That was that. And, So that was 2020. And then 20, the rest of that year, so that was in October, Halloween, and the rest of that year had no other experiences.
Starting point is 00:48:46 2021 had nothing, nothing to speak of. Hunting a lot, same area, nothing. There was absolutely nothing until 2022. So like I said, we do a lot of hunting in this area. We hunt deer, bear, pheas, grouse. That's like our main hunting area. And so 2022, I was a mechanic for 30 plus years, and I retired from doing that in 2020. And so I took a year off, and I started delivering motorsports pretty much around the country.
Starting point is 00:49:21 And so I was coming back from a run. This was September of 2022. And I was coming back from Virginia, and I was coming back generally in the area of where we hunt. So I just want to swing by and see what the, if we have permission to hunt one of the farms there, that's adjacent to the game lands in a state forest. So I just want to see what crops, because they usually alternate beans and corn every year. And when they have corn, we do pretty good bear hunting and we have beans, it's not so good. So it was mid-September.
Starting point is 00:49:54 I was coming back from a run, and I swung by just to see what the farms had as far as what they planted. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. Let's go, girls. So this is the little pink pill everyone's been talking about. Yep, that's Addy. Good things do come in small packages. And Addy is definitely a good thing.
Starting point is 00:50:21 Not just good, it's all. Mm-hmm. Ooh-la-la. Meow. Man, I feel like a woman. Meet Addie, the little pink pill. Addie is a prescription medicine for women under 65 with hypoactive low sexual desire disorder

And so I pulled into that lower parking area and I had to take a leak. And so I just jumped out of a truck and I just walked about 10 yards in the woods. And I'm taking a leak and this, it was bigger than a tree branch. I was a log. and it was thrown, if I'm looking into the woods, it came from my 11 o'clock, across in front of me, ticking branches. I got glimpses of it. It wasn't right in front of me.
Starting point is 00:52:36 It was maybe 15 yards in front of me. And it came from like my 11 o'clock, diagonally across in front of me, and landed at like my 4 o'clock and tumbled and rolled through the leaves. And it wasn't a tree branch that broke off and fell. down through the trees. This was a log. This was a 10-inch in diameter log that was thrown through the trees. And that freaked me out. So I'd turn around, jump back in a truck and took off. And mind you, there was nothing happened for the past almost two, four years. But I knew what that was. And from that point on, it's been pretty much almost, I went the first, so in 2022,
Starting point is 00:53:23 I'd say probably 60% of the time we went up there or something happened. And 2023, probably 80% of the time I go up there, something happens. And so this year, almost every time I go up there, something happens. And so in 2022, after the log in September, we started hunting in October. Back one of our main hunting spots, we're walking this path back there. And obviously, I've been doing a lot of research on trying to get. game knowledge on the internet and there's this giant X structure walking back to i'm just going I call ground zero is where like all this stuff a lot of it originates from or it happens or the
Starting point is 00:54:08 howls the all these vocalizations come from they start like in the same area so i call ground zero and um there's this giant X structure so i thought that was weird and i actually took a couple pictures of it. This is the first time I've been in the woods in this area, that hunting season of 23, or 22. And so I took a couple pictures of it. As I'm walking past the X structure, and I get maybe 50 yards past it, and the X-structures may be 80 yards off of the path in the woods. There's one, as I walk past it, there was one loud wood knock came from behind me where I just walked. from on the same side of the path as the X structure. So that kind of freaked me out, but I was like, okay, so I just kept walking, went hunting,
Starting point is 00:55:02 did my thing, came back out. And so that was that. And I'm not going to get into every fake owl hoot and holler and different things, but just almost it just seems like most of them were, most of my encounters were, I go hunting all day. and then a lot of times I come out in the dark. So right at dark or right after dark on the way out, a lot of times it was right when I got back to the truck,
Starting point is 00:55:28 there'll be a series of al-hoots, which they might start out as al-hoots, but they end up as more like vocalizations. And almost just to let me know they're there, they're not aggressive, no scream, it was no screamer or nothing like that. So then we got into October of 22, and one of the guys we hunt with
Starting point is 00:55:49 He was born up in this area of the mountains. And he had a encounter in 2017 where him and one of his friends were trout fishing in a creek, not far from where we were. And that's a gorge, pretty steep hillsides. And he had an encounter where they felt like they were being watched. And they saw one up on the hillside and it kept hiding behind trees and it ran off and they saw it run off. and so he's the only other one other than my buddy that we were shooting basketball with in the 80s that had experiences and so we were going deer hunting we had mousal loaders for deer and bear in October of 22 and so me and my son Mark and my buddy were
Starting point is 00:56:42 walking down this long path a pretty good hike down into where we were going to hunt and we were talking on the way in, and I was like, man, it wouldn't be weird if all three of us had experiences, wouldn't it be weird if we go down in here and something happens, and we're joking about it. And we go down there and I dropped my buddy off first, and then me and him were looking over the same drainage. And I was on a power line. He was to the right of me and some fixed stuff. And my son was past me on the other end of his field looking the same where the two drainage has come together. And as soon as I got to my spot and settled down, and I was looking over a power line,
Starting point is 00:57:22 and I could see about probably 150 yards. It went in the drainage and up the other side. And to the left of me, I can hear something. I thought it was a bear. It sounded like it was a bear ripping a log apart for grubs and insects. And you can hear like grunting noises. And I really thought it was a bear. So I listened to it for a while, but I couldn't see it.
Starting point is 00:57:44 And it was working its way away from it. from me. I'm listening to it and I didn't really hear, I just hear leaves crunching. Couldn't say one way or another if it was two feet, four feet, but I thought it was a bear. And then so the sun went down and directly across from me to the left, on the left, the same side where noises were coming from, directly across from me on the other side of the power line, on the other side of the canyon, there was one super loud wood knock, like two Louisville. real sluggers and unmistakable, just one loud crack would knock. And that kind of freaked me out. So then I started thinking about maybe this wasn't a bear and it's getting darker. And then in the bottom of the drainage from my right, so it would have been coming from my
Starting point is 00:58:32 buddy's position. I hear voices and they were getting louder and closer, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. It almost, it was like if there was three or four people talking 100 yards away from you, And you can hear language and words, but you couldn't discern what they were talking about. And it was getting louder, and it came out almost to the power line. It was about dark, and they just hung up there, and I could just hear just mumbling. And indiscernible language, just voices and mumbling.
Starting point is 00:59:04 And it sounded like three or four different voices. But it never came out on the power line. It got dark. So I headed out, and I met up with my buddy. and I asked him if he heard voices down and below him. He said, I don't know what that was. And he said they came past him. And then my son, we met up with my son.
Starting point is 00:59:24 He heard the same thing. So obviously with the wood knock, and that was the first time I heard any kind of vocalizations like that where it was like a language. And so that kind of freaked us out. And we left. And let's see. So that was in, what, October, I think of,
Starting point is 00:59:43 22. And let's see. So there was, you know, I don't want to get into every encounter. But so then that kind of fast forwards me to December that year. And we had, we were in there, it was like one of the last, actually it was January. So it was like one of the last days of Flintlock season. And there was snow on the ground. And my friend, or me and my son, we were in there hunting. and I did a little push for him and I was coming out at the end of the day and it was about dark
Starting point is 01:00:19 and you can tell when these things are around and there's like a there's a pressure in the air there's a it's hard to describe but it's honestly the best way I could describe it is if you're out to a nice restaurant and you got
Starting point is 01:00:37 silverware clinking and glasses clanking and people talking and it's normal And then a guy stood up in a restaurant and screamed at somebody and freaked out and yelled at somebody as well, whoever got into an arguing with somebody and then sat down and how it would just be dead quiet in there. And there would just be a pressure in the air like of anxiety because this guy just yelled and, you know, that's the only way I could really describe it is there's a pressure in the air and it's just dead quiet. And I'm walking out of the woods and it was about dark. And I just got out to this path and I walked past this point. And as soon as I got past this point, literally maybe 10, 20 yards off to my right just inside the woods line, something took, it was multiple ones of them.
Starting point is 01:01:25 And just breaking branches, breaking trees. It started right next to me and went away from me. And it just, you know, I've been hunting all my life. It wasn't a deer. It wasn't a bear. It was something large. And it was like the Halloween night thing. pushing trees over, big trees breaking, and that kind of freaked me out. And so that was one of the
Starting point is 01:01:48 last things that happened in 2022. And we go to last year, and it started normal, upper archery season, hoots, haulers. And so we get to October. It was actually a year ago today. It was on Halloween. I don't know. For some reason, a lot of things happened to me on Halloween. And so year ago, Today, I was up there and we were archery hunting for a bear and hunted the morning, uneventful. And in the evening, my son and I were hunting. He was in a cut. There's these thickets to go roll over this hill.
Starting point is 01:02:28 So he was in the first cut of hardwoods. Then there's a thicket between us and I was in the second cut of hardwoods. And I saw two bears. They came up to cut straight to me. and I ended up getting the one. And so I got one in archery season. It only went about 40 yards and laid over and died. And I just knew.
Starting point is 01:02:50 My son came over to me. We crossed, we feel dressed the bear. And I just moved. I just feel the pressure. I just knew they were there. I knew they were watching us. And so I called a couple of my buddies to come help us get this, the bear out. Because it's a pretty good hike back in there.
Starting point is 01:03:06 Well, you feel dressed the bear. I laid it out. and they're cool. And me and my son, we walk back to the truck. We get back to the truck, and my son had to answer a couple emails to a coach for a baseball coach. So he jumped in the truck, and I was putting stuff in the back of the bed of the truck and pulling a sled out. Because out here, we haul our deer and bear in a jet sled, and it works out pretty well.
Starting point is 01:03:32 It's a lot better in my court. And so I'm getting the jet sled out, and we're waiting for my other two buddies. to show up to give us a hand. And so there's a gas well field close to where we park. And I'm standing there, and there was three of them in this gas well field in the middle of the field. I didn't see them. It was too dark. And so from right to left, the first one hooded, the second one whistled, and then the third one,
Starting point is 01:04:07 When we bear hunt in Pennsylvania, you're not allowed to use dogs, bait, anything. You basically have to put drives on and drive the bears out of thickets. You're not allowed to use any kind of devices, anything. So we have a group of 20 guys when we bear hunt. So you push 10 and post 10 and try to drive the bears out of thickets. And everybody, they have their own thing. Some guys whistle. Some guys say, hey, bears, some guys, they do their own thing.
Starting point is 01:04:37 So when I go through the thickets, I go, woo, woo, woo, like that. And so I'm sitting there and I hear these three things in the gas well field. The first one, he whistled, the middle one hooted, and then the end one went, woo-hoo, woo, like what I do when I'm bear hunting. And I was like, he was like mimicking what I do when we're bear hunting. And I thought that was pretty crazy. Obviously, so now I'm pretty, you know, freaked out because. We have to go back in the woods and get my bear.
Starting point is 01:05:09 I know they're there now, for sure. So it was only five minutes after that, and that's all they did was them three vocalizations. And my two buddies show up and Snyder's four of us. And I told them what just happened in the gas wall field. And, you know, I was half thinking when we got back to the bear, it wasn't even going to be there. But so we went in there and got back to the bear,
Starting point is 01:05:34 and it was there, it wasn't touched. And threw it in a sled. drug it up and nothing else happened the whole way out and and it was all good. Fast forward to January of last year is another highlight. It was again one of the last days of Flintlock season and we were hunting in a spot. We're to deer yard up and it's about, it's closer to my cabin actually. It's only maybe five miles from my cabin. So it's about 15 miles, maybe 14, 13 miles from where.
Starting point is 01:06:07 most of this stuff has been happening. And so this is the first time they followed us somewhere else other than that valley and showed up somewhere else. And I'll tell you what was last year in January, so I guess it would be, it would have been this January. Yeah, it would have been January 24. The Steelers were in the playoffs. So it was a day the Steelers' playoff game.
Starting point is 01:06:38 and we were up, me and my son were up or hunting, and we had a spot, and we got to figure it out pretty good, and it's where all the deer yard up, and there could be 40 deer down in there. And we know how to send somebody in one spot where they run to. So we send one guy to where they run to, and one guy goes in, and it's like a two-man push. We know where they go.
Starting point is 01:06:59 And so my son went out to where they run, and as he's walking out there, he came on the radio, and he says, Did you hear those wood knocks? I'm like, no. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. Let's go, girls. So you've been taking one of these little pink pills daily?
Starting point is 01:07:28 Yeah. And you feel... Uh-huh, and more. More? Huh, I didn't think we could feel like that again at our age. Oh, get ready, girl. Ooh, la, la. Meet Addie, the little pink pill.

Starting point is 01:08:33 Spam, sizzle, pork, and mm. No matter the occasion, snack time should be easy. That's why Skinny Popcorn keeps it light, airy and endlessly delicious. Skinny Pop is made from just three simple ingredients, delivering an irresistible taste without being complicated. Skinny Pop simplicity allows you to freely enjoy as much popcorn as you want. Just open the bag and enjoy. No overthinking, no tough choices.
Starting point is 01:09:00 When it comes to snacking, Skinny Pop just makes sense. Deliciously popped, perfectly salted. Skinny Pop, popular for a reason. And I didn't, and Benny said he heard the fake aislehoods. I guess they're in here, but just keep heading out there. and so the deer we bumped the deer and they run to where we thought they would and I missed a couple and my son he shot one he shot a dough and this was probably 10 o'clock in the morning or so and so I go up to him and we started field dressing the deer and he shot it right through the
Starting point is 01:09:47 heart we usually keep the heart and eat it and he shot it right through the heart so we weren't keeping it and I said, you know what? I said, they're here. I said, put the heart up on that log. And it was a horizontal log. It was deadfall. And we set it up on that log. And there was probably almost the foot, about a foot of snow. So there was maybe eight, ten inches of powder, then an inch of crust where each footfall, you took a step and you hovered there for a second, then you broke through the crust. And then there was maybe two inches of fresh snow on top of that. So we processed the deer and we called his buddy and he was on his way up to hunt the afternoon and had him grab the jet sled and meet us halfway back dragging the deer out. So we processed the deer, put the heart up on a log and lift the liver and all the internal organs there.
Starting point is 01:10:42 And again, there was fresh two inches of powder on top of the one inch across the ice. And the only footprints there was our footprints, obviously, and then the deer prints. and so we start dragging the deer out. We meet up with his buddy, drag it back to the truck. And my plan was to leave about 2 o'clock and go home and watch a steeler game. His buddy comes,
Starting point is 01:11:04 we get the jets, we throw it in, and drag it back to the truck, and we're standing at the truck at the parking lot, and up the hill in the hemlocks starts the fake outhoots. I mean, they're vocalization. I say to our out-hoots,
Starting point is 01:11:18 but they're not even, they're not even out-hoots. their vocalizations. And so I was like, I'm leaving to go watch it. I think my son and his buddy would stay there, but they did. And I said, you guys, yeah, we're going in there. I was like, okay. I said, if you want to, go ahead.
Starting point is 01:11:34 I said, make sure you call me soon as you get out of the woods. I get started. And so I left, and I just felt uneasy leaving because they were there. And I don't think nothing's going to happen. I don't think they mean it's no harm, but you just don't never know. And so they went in the woods, and I drove off. and I tried to call them, but they had no service because of where they are. And so I ended up coming home.
Starting point is 01:11:59 And so it was pretty well after dark, and I'm waiting for my son to call. And I guess it took them a while because they had no service down where they were. And he calls me back on her way home. And he says, you ain't going to believe what happened. I was like, what happened? He says, they got into deer again. And the deer ran to where the same stuff. pot where he always do. And they ran to where he shot the deer earlier in the morning.
Starting point is 01:12:28 And he says, they chased the deer in there. They didn't get one. And he was trying to get one for his buddy. And so they ended up going past where he processed the deer he got in the morning and put the heart on the log. And he says, the heart was gone. He says, the heart and the liver were both gone. He says, there was no coyote tracks. There was no bird tracks. There wasn't, the liver was still attached to the gut pile. And there was no bird tracks, no coyote tracks, no other human tracks, nothing. Just it was gone.
Starting point is 01:13:05 And the liver, like I said, liver was attached. So it wasn't like a bird came down and pecked at it. There was no specs of, it was nothing like that. It just disappeared with no tracks. And so they were heading out. It was getting dark. And they said they were probably about. 300 yards from a truck.
Starting point is 01:13:24 And he heard a loud scream slash yell come down near the creek below them. So they picked the pace up. And as they approached the truck, it did it again right behind the truck in a fixed stand of hemlocks. And so that was pretty much it. Except I got one more. So I never searched these things out. So after that happened, we were up our late season, pheasant hunting.
Starting point is 01:13:58 So right at dark coming out, I had a fake owl hoot, and this thing, it was a long vocalization. And it started out like a hoot and then almost laughter at the end, like it was laughing. And so this was the first time I decided to not necessarily search them out. but make myself available after dark, not really in a hunting situation. So after that, I drove to where most of this stuff happens. It's about three miles off the road. And I back in there and I park. And I just, I wasn't, you know, making any noises, hooping, holler,
Starting point is 01:14:42 and I just was sitting in my truck with the window down. It's close to where I call this ground zero. And I sat there for a while, and I just forgot to sit there for a half hour and see if anything happens. And sure enough, I was there maybe 15 minutes. And I heard it was my call, off in the distance. So that kind of makes your hair stand on in. And I'm sitting there. And a couple minutes later, and it did it again, but it was only maybe, I don't know, 40 yards in the woods right outside my driver's door.
Starting point is 01:15:16 And I'm freaked out. and I'm listening and I can hear down in the valley it almost sounded like one of our drives and it sounded like different vocalizations and hollers and coming and it like it was going away from me it wasn't loud enough to catch on like an audio recording but you can hear it down in the valley and it was going away from me and it got quieter quieter until it was but it was just like somebody doing a drive and so I'm sitting there and I was freaked out and I was freaked out and I was by it and I didn't hear anything else close to me. The two vocalizations I heard close and it was quiet and then out of nowhere probably 10 yards off my left front fender I hear three heavy footfalls, the least crunch and sticks breaking under a foot and this thing obviously it didn't approach I would have heard it coming from the ways off it was dead quiet it was a cloudy night So it wasn't like a starlit night or a moonlit night. It was dark.
Starting point is 01:16:20 And so that kind of freaked me out for this thing to take three steps that close to my truck. And I've been struggling with actually coming face-to-face with one of these things and seeing something I can unsee and struggling with do I want to see it? Do I not want to see it? And so this thing was right outside my door. And I had a flashlight in my lap. And I just couldn't bring myself to shine the light. I just couldn't. I just, I couldn't do it.
Starting point is 01:16:47 Because it freaked me out. I put my window up, three quarters of the way, started the truck up, and I thought that maybe where my headlights were pointing, it was off to the left a little bit. I thought maybe there's a residual light would light it up enough, but I didn't see anything. So I sat there for a minute, and I decided I'm just struggling with seeing one or not seeing one.
Starting point is 01:17:08 So I shut my truck back off, put my window back down, and sat there another five minutes or so. And then there was footsteps right at the back of my truck where my left driver's tail light would be. And that freaked me out because that was even closer than it was right outside my door. So I started my truck up. And I have a 23 F350.
Starting point is 01:17:35 So most newer vehicles, this is one of the freaky things here. Most newer vehicles, I'm not talking about your reverse center. is in your bumper. I'm talking about your blind spot warning light that comes on in your mirror, the little orange light that lights up that shows somebody's in your blind spot. If somebody's passing you or you're passing somebody on the highway. And when you start your vehicle up, both lights turn on, they prove out, they go, and then they prove out for maybe a second or two, and they both go off. And I wasn't paying no mind to that, but that's just how it works. And so
Starting point is 01:18:08 when this thing, I heard these foot steps right behind the quarter panel, off the left the tail light in my truck. I started my truck up, put my window up, and both lights proved out, and they both went off. And I'm sitting there, and I threw it in reverse, and I was getting ready to leave. And I'm looking in the tail light glow of my truck, the tail lights, and I don't see anything. And as I'm looking at my mirror, that blind spot, that orange light comes on, and I look over at the passenger mirror, and that one's not on. And I look at the driver's mirror again, and that light's glowing. So that freaked me out.
Starting point is 01:18:43 So that told me something is right there within 10 feet of my truck. And I'm looking, like I said, it was a dark night. It was cloudy. No stars, no moon. But with the glow of the tail light, I couldn't see anything. It had to be right there. And a human being can't turn that blind spot mirror on or the blind spot light on. It has to be something with, I don't know what these things are,
Starting point is 01:19:06 but there's some kind of energy or a mass to them. or what? I know they manipulate with electronics. They've manipulated my phone, killed my phone, batteries, all that stuff. But whatever they did, whether it was their physical being, the mass of them, the energy, whatever, they turned that light on. They were standing right next to my truck. So that's what that kind of freaked me out. I was, I put it in reverse. I backed up, backed onto the gravel road and started down the road. And that light didn't go out for probably a hundred feet down the road and I just I went home because I was freaked out because to be that I want to see one but I'd like to see one from 200 yards away first and so that was the
Starting point is 01:19:45 first time I like I said I'm not a researcher I don't go in the woods looking for these things but that was the first time I made my self-available after hunting hours and just to see what would happen and that was then the last year or no that was beginning this year so I was like a January of 24. That was pretty much yet. And then nothing happens. I don't really go up there in the summertime too much, especially in the evening. There's other than spring turkey, we had a couple things happening in spring turkey, the out of hoots and stuff. We were up there a couple times in May, but pretty much wasn't up there all summer except for a couple times. I was coming back from runs from Virginia and I stopped and just parked where a lot of this stuff happens. And, and
Starting point is 01:20:35 And I think just about every time I stopped, something happened. But my old vocalizations, no eye sightings or nothing. And the last time, so I really made my mind up, I want to see one. And it seems like it's almost, you know, I don't want to say we're friends. It's not an aggressive encounters. It's they let me know they're there and they know I'm here. And they like dance around me pretty much. And so I made up my mind, I want to see one.
Starting point is 01:21:05 and I was sitting on a tailgate in my truck. And a lot of times I do have a sidearm with me or my phone or whatever. So this was about a month ago. And I left everything in the truck and I was sitting on a tailgate in my truck. And they were around me. And they came and went and closed further away. This went on for probably an hour and a half, two hours, where the aisle hooting, the haulers, imitating my haulers.
Starting point is 01:21:30 And they'd come and go. And they came in really close at, at about 10 o'clock at night. And they were coming in close. They were just out of sight. And they were all doing the alhuts. And there was at least one, two, three, at least four, maybe five of them, I think four.
Starting point is 01:21:48 And there was one down in the hemlocks down to the left of me, down in the bottom. And it was further away. And they were all doing the alhuts and whatnot and imitating me. And so it was all good. And then one, the one down. in the hemlocks in the bottom it didn't do the bloody you know woman scream it did almost like a teradactal scream it was but it was a high-pitched voice like it was a young one like i don't like
Starting point is 01:22:15 describe it there's there's different tones to all these things there's different it's hard to explain unless you hear all these things but it definitely sounded like a juvenile like a higher-pitched voice so that kind of freaked me out and it was a scream and it did it and then it did it like 30 seconds later And it was like, instead of being, say, 200 yards away, it was like 50 yards away. And it did it again. And then after it did it that second time, it just got dead quiet. There was no more focalizations whatsoever. And that was it.
Starting point is 01:22:47 And nothing else happened that night. And the feeling I got was, it was like a really young one. And it was trying to scare me to show what it can do. And I know this stuff sounds crazy. And if I would hear somebody giving this interview five years ago, I'd say you're nuts. But believe me, there's different levels to this. And I think personally, everybody kind of starts at the same level. If you have a road crossing visual or one encounter or two encounters,
Starting point is 01:23:16 you know, I was in the, it's a missing link thing forever. But the more encounters you have, the more questions, the more firsthand encounters you have and realize that these things, they have special powers that we don't understand. And they can do things that we don't understand. And the more you get into and the more encounters you have, that solidifies it for you where it's just, it's not just a physical being, be it spiritual, interdimensional, whatever they are. I don't know. But they have powers that we can't understand. And they can do things we don't understand. They can leave footprints where and when they want. Pick for society will be right back after these messages.

Starting point is 01:26:07 And so my dog wasn't doing good, and she was on her last leg. And we were getting ready to go to Colorado El Cunton. And so the one property we have up the mountains there, I have an old backhoe. and I use it maybe once a year. And every time I use this thing, it blows a hydraulic line because it just sits all the time. So my dog was really doing bad. She couldn't get up.
Starting point is 01:26:31 She couldn't go outside. I thought it was within a day or two of, we actually called the vet and saw about having to put her down. And so I went up there and I wanted to take care of the whole, before something to happen to her, because I didn't want to blow a hydraulic line and take two days to fix the thing and the whole nine years. So I got up there,
Starting point is 01:26:50 and I get the backhoe running and I'm digging a hole. Sure enough, I get 80% done digging a hole and blows the line. I go into town, get a line made, come back, and I finish right at dark. And so I shut the backhoe down, shut it, close it up. And I walk around the front of the backhoe, which is right at my cabin. And I hear voices down in the woods. And it's nothing but woods behind the cabin. It just, it goes forever.
Starting point is 01:27:20 And I hear voices coming towards. me and it's the mumbling it's the indiscernible language and obviously i'm sad i'm digging a grave for my dog and i hear these voices coming towards me and it's just like that you know that one day we were hunting with my buddy and we heard that undiscernible language the mumbling and the conversation and they came within probably 40 yards of me or so 50 yards and they hung up there and they were sitting there like doing their language, talking. And I'm freaked out. It's dark.
Starting point is 01:27:51 And so I ended up, I was staying up there that night at the cabin. I sat by the fire till about 11 o'clock at night, and they were pretty much around me all night. None of the, no more language or anything, but the house, hoots, imitating my holler thing, the hoo-hoo. But it was uneventful other than that. And at this point, this is like second nature stuff. It happens all the time. And so I said a couple of prayers from my dog and whatnot and went home. And we changed, so we quit to give them her dog food.
Starting point is 01:28:22 And commercial dog food is just bad for dogs. There's a lot of fillers and chemicals and them things that give them cancer and tumors. And it's bad. So she was still eating and drinking. And so we gave her a steak. And the next day, she parked up a little bit, whether it be from the steak or prayers, I don't know. But so she actually Then we gave her some chicken and some rice
Starting point is 01:28:46 And start feeding her people food And within a day She was back to I mean she has hit problems Getting around but she still walks and goes up and on And we walk her up and on the street And she got back to where she was For the past eight months or so
Starting point is 01:28:59 Walking fine going outside And she totally turned around So we were getting ready to go to Colorado Elkhatton And I obviously had that hole open up the mountains at the cabin and I didn't want to leave that open to fill with water while we were gone and who knows how long it would be. So I went up there and I put a tarp over the hole, a big tarp, and that's like a 20 by 30 tarp. And so once I did that, I went down to where I heard the language a few days before
Starting point is 01:29:33 behind the cabin. And I walked down there and there's a big mossy old red oak there was about like a two-inch carpet of moss on it. And there was a spot, right where the voices were coming from, where the moss was picked off the top of the log in like maybe a foot and a half square area on top of the log. And there was moss on both sides of the log. And everything's covered in moss, the rocks, the boulders, a lot of the trees are deadfall or rotten air.
Starting point is 01:30:07 And right where that voices were coming from was a spot where it was just picked down to the bear wood. And that's known from time to time hunting where a bear drags its belly over a mossy log, but that carpet of moss flops over to one side of the log where it's where a drug on its belly. This was picked that, and there was like, almost like chunks of broccoli on both sides of the log. And so I jumped on another side of log and I'm looking, and there was three footprints. You can see them in, so this was like four days had gone by since this happened. And, but you can, I move some leaves and you can see the footprints. I can see three different footprints.
Starting point is 01:30:47 And the one pretty good, you can see the depth of the impression in the soil and the leaves were smashed. And you can actually see where when it went to take a step and midway footprint, it heaved up a little bit. And so I have video and pictures of that. And I thought that was pretty amazing. and so then we go to so my dog's doing butter and so we go to Colorado and I've had things happen in Colorado I went to Colorado El County last year for the first time of my life and I wish I'd done it 30 years ago and I had some things happened last year with vocalizations and last year in Colorado was the first time I and that's the only place I've ever heard whoops where I go whoop
Starting point is 01:31:34 and that's the first place or last year was the first time I ever heard that so and I had some trees pushed over last year and different things but we go hunting there it was three weeks ago we're there and so the first night I get there and my son and his buddy they were the season started on the 12th on a Saturday so I got there on Wednesday and I we've made base camp out of my transport trailer. We set cots up in there. And then I was, I got there right at dark on Wednesday.
Starting point is 01:32:08 And I was setting an easy up, up behind the trailer for put tables up for kitchen and whatnot. And I took a cook on. And like we put three walls around it to enclose it from rain and wind. And so I'm pounding the tent stakes into the holes, the legs that are easy up and bang. And in the canyon, So our camp is basically on a hogsback,
Starting point is 01:32:33 whereas a canyon on either side of us. And the canyon, and the hogsback runs out back behind camp, probably three, two, 300 yards. And a peters out rolls over into where two canons come together. And so I'm beating the ten stakes into the easy-up legs. And something in the canyon right next to me is almost imitating me. At first I thought it was another guy on the next ridge, maybe setting up a tent because it was imitating me. It was like, bang, it sounded like a hammer
Starting point is 01:33:04 hitting tent stakes. And so I didn't think too much about it. And I finished staking the easy up down. And I walked over and I just walked out a little bit to look over to the other ridge. And it was dark. It was pitch black. And there was nobody there. And it's, I don't know, 400 yards away, 300 yards away. But there was no one over. There was no lights I could see and I could hearing no other noises. And so I went about my business, setting up tables and stuff, getting ready. And I got everything else set up, and I had a fire going, and I'm sitting by the fire. And then in the canyon, where the same tents, the hammers were coming from, I hear rocks being banged together, like rock clacks.
Starting point is 01:33:44 And I never heard this before. This is the first time I ever heard this. It sounded like, and it wasn't a rhythm or a cadence to it. It was just random, like a bang, and maybe a bang, bang. It was just no rhythm, no nothing. But it sounded like two, somebody down there with two river rocks, banging two rocks together.
Starting point is 01:34:03 So, listen to that for a while. And then went to bed, nothing happened. I went and picked Mark and his buddy up from the airport of Denver the next day at 2 o'clock. Got back at dark. And El-con did the next couple days. Got into some elk, couldn't get a shot. And so they wanted to go up into the wilderness area.
Starting point is 01:34:25 where there's no, it's foot travel. It's in a different unit. And so just to give you a general idea, we were in Western Colorado, we were north of Glenwood Springs. And there's a, I think it's the White River National Forest up above there, north of there. So we were up in there. So he wanted to go up into the unit above us and camp in the wilderness area out of a teepee tent with a wood burner and whatnot right on the ground. So I think we hunted around camp two days. So that would be Saturday.
Starting point is 01:35:00 So Monday we headed up there, and it's an A-spotted elk. There's a deep gorge, and they spotted elk. It doesn't elk on the other side of the gorge. But to get on the other side of the gorge, it's a 30-mile drive up around the head of the gorge and back the other side to get close to where these elk were. We drive up there on Monday, and we hunted in the morning. And then at mid-day, we set up the tent. And we found a decent spot to set up the tent and make a base camp for the teepee tent.
Starting point is 01:35:31 And now we went off and hunted, tried to get close to where they glanced the elk from the other side of the gorge the day before. And like I said, when Mark the last time, we were about three miles away from the elk across the gorge. Then we had to drive 30 miles around the head of the gorge to come down on the other side. And so we went hunting. He actually going into this dark timber to go over to this rock face to look into the basin. He booted a cow and it was standing in the open and he didn't realize it, but there was a big bull right behind her, but he couldn't see the bull because of the cedars behind it. And so he backed out and went back into the field and watched the edge of the field.
Starting point is 01:36:18 He didn't want to blow them out of the timber and spook him anymore and saved it for the next morning. So he backed out and I was still out over a different rock face looking over his other basin. And so it was getting to be about dark and I was just starting to make my way out. And they were close to the truck, a couple hundred yards away near the road. And he gets on the radio and calls me and says, here's, and I never heard this before. And he said they're right behind them across the road in the timber, they heard like Indian drums. And they said it was,
Starting point is 01:36:58 you know, just like if you're listening watching a cowboy movie and the war party's getting regular here, just Indian drums. And I said, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:37:07 He's asking me if it could be a moose or so I was like, no, I don't ain't the moose. So like, and he's explaining to me it sounds just like Indian, somebody beating on drums.
Starting point is 01:37:16 And I made my way out. Didn't hear the Indian drums, but we made it. the truck. We go back to the tent and we made some food, some of them ready to eat meals, and cleaning up. And his buddy was in the tent already. And me and my son were finishing up. And we hear the fake out hits coming towards us through the timber. And so the one was hooting. I go, and the other one is just a how, almost more of a almost like a how. across between a hoot and a how.
Starting point is 01:37:54 And then there was a third one way off that was doing some vocalizations. So they came closer and closer, and they were, when they come in, they stayed just in the timber line, just out of sight, and freaked us out,
Starting point is 01:38:06 because we're in the middle of nowhere, or miles from anywhere. And like I said, when they say you're tagged, we're tagged, because we have different encounters in different states. Let's go, girls.
Starting point is 01:38:19 So this is the little pink pill everyone's been talking about. Yep, that's Addy. Good things do come in small packages. And Addy is definitely a good thing. Not just good. It's... Mm-hmm. Ooh-la-la. Meow.

And so much has happened in the past three years or four years that it's, I get, it makes your hair stand on in, but you know in the back
Starting point is 01:40:15 of your mind that nothing's going to happen. But there's always that, you know, from listening to different people's encounters, you know, there's always them ones out there that they're aggressive and so you never know we're going to run into that. But, you know, just about all our encounters are pretty much docile and just vocalizations and almost, hey, we're here kind of things. And that went on for, I don't know, maybe 15 minutes or so. And then they, you know, you can hear them. They just, you know, make their way off into the distance. And they were gone.
Starting point is 01:40:46 And nothing else happened that night. And then, let's see. Yeah. So there was a couple other things at the end of the, before we left, you know, a couple vocalizations at camp and stuff. But pretty much nothing else. We hit home and on my way home, it takes two days to get home. My wife calls me and says that my dog had been doing pretty good for the last month, but she said she's not doing good again.
Starting point is 01:41:10 And so we come home and I ended up get home Sunday morning, at 4 o'clock in the morning. When I got home, she wasn't doing good. She was just laying there and we were trying to feed her laying there. And she was about done. So I hadn't slept in a while. and I got a couple hours of sleep. I got up again about 9 o'clock or whatever,
Starting point is 01:41:31 and I was laid with her, and she ended up passing away about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. And I had to go in a barrier up at the cabin. And so my son, we just came back from El Cunton, and he's in college, so he had some homework. He had to get done that we were going a week or so. And my wife didn't want to go, so I had to go up there alone and barrier.
Starting point is 01:41:52 And obviously, the hole was already dug. So I go up there. and I backed my truck in and until they opened the truck door, I knew they were there. I just, the pressure, the quietness. I knew they were there. And I just asked them, I said, I allowed. This is tough enough.
Starting point is 01:42:09 I says, please don't mess with me. And let me do what I got to do. So I uncovered a hole and I buried her and I buried her mostly by hand. And I finished it off with tobacco. I had some rakes and shovels there and smooth out the top. And so I put everything away, put the backhoe away.
Starting point is 01:42:36 This is probably 10.30 a night or so. And put everything away, rakes and shovels. So the last thing I had to put away was the tarp. And like I say, it's like a 20, about 30 foot tarp. And I keep it behind the cabin. There's like a three foot crawl space behind the cabin. And so I wasn't taking a time to fold. it all up and everything. I just crumpled it up into a big giant eight foot round ball and picked
Starting point is 01:43:02 it up and went behind the cabin and I'm stuffing this thing behind a cabin in that crawl space and I'm jamming it in there and I just get this on this overpowering feeling that something's right behind me staring at me. So I turn around and my head lamp was dead. I had a flashlight in my pocket. I pulled it out and I turn around and I didn't show. light into the woods. It was on floodlight. It's a pretty bright light. And I just turned it on and pointed it at the ground in front of me and looked in about 30 yards from me in the woods, that's when he's two big red oaks, what are these two giant gold eyes? And when I say they weren't yellow, they weren't owl eyes. They were, they glistened. It was like if you took gold flakes, like a quarter inch by
Starting point is 01:43:56 half inch gold flake and polished them and made eyeballs out. They glittered like you couldn't imagine. And they were huge. I'm going to say they were three inches in diameter, I'd say. They were huge. This thing's 30 yards from me. So I didn't shine the light at it. And I'm shining a light in front of me, basically, but just the residual light
Starting point is 01:44:16 shining, casting off into the woods towards this thing. I can see the outline of it, but I can't see specific. features other than the gold eyes. The gold eyes were huge and it never blinked and we're staring at each other and it had it was extremely hairy. It was and it wasn't huge. So it was standing back behind the cabin. The property rolls off and goes over a hill into a drainage. So it was standing right where it starts to roll over the hill. So I'm thinking what I was seeing was from the waist up or maybe the thighs up because it didn't seem much bigger than me and like I said I'm five nine and even body size wise the width of it didn't it seemed my size and so I'm looking at it
Starting point is 01:45:09 and I'm not shining a light at it but between us I'm shining the light on the ground and I'm looking at this thing and these big gold eyes and I can see that it was just covered in a lot of hair and it the hair on the head just rolled into the hair on the shoulders and then it was just just it looked extremely hairy and I can see the outline of the body and so we're staring at each other and I'm freaked out when something like it's that you just the adrenaline rush is just it's phenomenal it's just all your hair stands on in you get goosebumps you can even like at Halloween night when we had that encounter when that thing threw that first boulder into the creek when you get adrenaline rush yeah you can you can see better your eyes eyes are half open half the
Starting point is 01:45:52 time when something like that happens your eyes are your eyeballs are wide open you can smell better you can see better it's crazy and i'm looking at this thing and so i don't want to shine the light on it but i want to see it a little better so i clicked my light because it was on like low power which is still bright and i clicked it to the high power not shining that i didn't change the position of the light or where it was shining but as soon as i clicked it on to a higher power i can see it a little better, but the whole thing, it didn't just turn ahead. It's the whole body to turn to my right. It's left. The eyes, I watched it. The whole thing turned to its left, my right, and went behind that oak tree, and it was gone. There was no, this thing's 30 yards from me. It was dry.
Starting point is 01:46:44 It hadn't rained in a week. The leaves all just fell. There was no footfalls. There was no leaf crunching, there was no sticks breaking, nothing. It turned, went behind that oak, and it was gone. It disappeared. Wow. And it, so that freaked me out. And so that was, when did we get back? So that was just, that was actually, that was, that was, that was not even it was a week ago, no, two weeks ago. Wow. Just two weeks ago. That is, Absolutely incredible. I need to have you on for a second episode just to break this apart, just to pretty much ask you questions. This is wild. Five years ago, I had my experiences in the 80s. So that was my only visual. I had my experience in the 80s. I was always in the, you know,
Starting point is 01:47:39 it's a physical being, but the things that's happened to me in the past, especially three years, the more experiences you have, the more questions you have, the more the deeper down a rabbit of the hole you go, you realize that they're not just a physical being and they have these powers and abilities. And I didn't even get into the physical aisle things and the experiences with that and the shape. Honestly, I know for a fact, I can't say what they do, but they shape shift shift into aisles or they get, you know, I know this is crazy. I know it sounds crazy, unbelievable. And if you're just, if you're at the, I just had a sighting and you're crazy, I know. I was there five years ago.
Starting point is 01:48:17 but they do shape-shift. They do either shape-shift into owls, crows, different animals, or they control them one way or another. And if you believe in God, you believe in spirits, and if you believe in, a lot of people believe in people being possessed, something evil getting into them and needing an exorcism or whatever. And they can believe in that, but they can't believe that a spiritual thing can be a Sasquatch
Starting point is 01:48:43 or can get into and control a, owl or a crow or a deer, you know. So how could you believe the evil part of it and not believe, say, like the good part of it? You know what I'm saying? No, I totally get it. Would you be up for coming back for a second episode to further discuss this? Oh, sure. Okay. Yeah, I think that would be great. I'm going to reach out to you to set up a time to come back on because there's just so much.
