You're listening to Bigfoot Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. Tonight's story isn't from a thrill seeker or a paranormal investigator. It's from a retired military man, a lifelong hunter and outdoorsman who thought he knew every sound the woods could make. But deep in the ridges near cloudy Oklahoma, something changed that. It's the three nights, one orb of light, and slow, heavy footsteps that crept through camp, stopping just outside his tent. No wind, no animals, just silence, and something wild. watching. This isn't a camp rumor. It's not passed down around a fire. It's a firsthand account from someone who doesn't scare easy. And this is the story of Jerry and what he encountered in the

Southeast Oklahoma Wilds. So stay with us. All right, Bigfoot Society. I've got the privilege of talking to Jerry today. Jerry's an individual that reached out about some interesting things he experienced in Southeast Oklahoma. A few things about Jerry. He is retired from 30 years in the security field. He's also a former military. He's an outdoorsman, and he also enjoys making custom knives. So, Jerry, it's a privilege to have you on the show. Thank you for coming on the show to share what you experienced.

I'm going to go ahead and pass things over to you. And if there's anything else that you need to share about yourself or background, feel free to do that as well. But you can go ahead, Jerry. All right. Well, I guess the main experience was I've got a buddy I worked with for 10 plus years. And he had, let me back up just a little bit. He was starting to get into hunting, and I took him a few times and he got his first deer and whatnot.

Anyway, a friend of his from another company, their family had a deer camp in southeastern Oklahoma. And actually where that was is there's a Honobia or Honobie, however you want to say it, slash three rivers area that's a big hunting area. I think it's actually logging land that the state leases from them for outdoorsmen. Pretty remote area. But they had a family hunting camp down there and have had for years. And so this buddy of his from the other company asked him if he wanted to come down to deer camp. And this would have probably been about, he went a couple times, so probably the 2017-18 timeframe.

And nothing remarkable as far as I know happened there, but he had went off on his own on one of the trips there and found a spot that looked pretty promising. and then he talked to me and said, hey, would you, you want to go for the 2020 deer gun season? Found a good spot. We can go down there in camp. And I said,

sure. So we made plans, headed out there. And it's probably in southeastern Oklahoma, there's a town, if you want to call it that, called cloudy. Not much there anymore,

but it's on a highway that comes out of the eastern side of Rattan. in Oklahoma, kind of cuts across, and if you stayed on it, you'd end up probably in the Broken Bow area. So this location is, right after cloudy, you're going to turn into the Hanobi hunting area. And I think, if I'm not mistaken, it's like 300,000 acres of pine trees, hardwoods, that kind of thing.

So we headed down there And the camp that he had found was on top of a Ridge slash mountain Here they call them mountains. They're probably just ridges But we were probably I don't know, three miles off the highway And it wasn't much of a highway so it's pretty remote But we got off in there and the camp was actually on top of a ridge

So you had to follow the, it was all logging roads, by the way. So you had to follow this logging road up and kind of circle around the ridge to get to the top. And it ended up being, it's all pine trees. And it was just a cleared area right at the very top in the middle of these pine trees. So that was camp. And we had got there, the night we had got there was, it was the Friday before deer season opens, which is, I'm guessing, it's like November

or 20th thereabouts. I don't know what it was on that year. But we had he got off work about noon and we had it down. It was about a three and a half hour drive, four hour drive. And so we got there with probably

an hour before dark, enough time to set up camp, get something to eat, that kind of thing. And it was hot. It was like 80 degrees, which is pretty warm, even here for November.

But we got everything set up and ended up, we ate, and both of us went to bed. And so sometime in the middle of the night, I'd woke up, and it was like really, really quiet. There wasn't any air, and there's supposed to be a front coming in the next day. So I guess we were kind of in between it, but it was really quiet. And I heard what sounds to me, it sounded to me like, and the whole floor was covered in pine needles, or the whole ground, everything was pine needles. And so my tent was probably, I don't know, 15 yards off the edge of the woods. and I woke up and I'm laying there and I hear just a slow crunch. And then about two seconds later, another slow crunch.

And this started on the south side of my tent in the woods there, maybe right at the edge 15 yards away or thereabouts. And my first thought was, well, it was two in the morning. I looked at my watch. my first thought was maybe it's a bear maybe a mountain line

because both of those are down there or maybe we had seen there's wild horses they're loose out there that interesting that the movie could all go they're at least that horse

the real horse out there and they're all part of that strain but anyway so I'm thinking to myself what is this and the more I listened to it, it was definitely on two feet. And so my next thought was, okay, is it somebody from another camp messing with us,

but the nearest camp that we passed was at least a mile away. And we were on top of a ridge, so I couldn't see that being the case. You know, and I've always heard about the story southeastern Oklahoma is rich with stories of Bigfoot and all kinds of stuff. So that came to mind. And I'd listen to this slow walk, you know, crunch, crunch, from the south side all the way around the east side of my tent. And I'd sent you a couple pictures.

I don't know if you'd seen those. But it came around about the time it got to the side. I got a little panicked, you know. So I grabbed my flashlight. I had a 9-millimeter laying there. I'm sitting on my cot, and I listen to this, whatever it is, walk around, and in between mine and my buddy's tents, there's a picnic table with an awning over it and all our camp stuff's on it.

And this may have took five minutes or thereabouts, but I heard it walk all the way around, and then I heard it kind of going through the stuff on our table. You know, I heard the coffee pot dink and some stuff move. And I thought, I really want to know what this is. You know, and it's weird how thoughts start running through your mind. I'm sitting there with a 9mm and a flashlight, and all I had to do is unzip the tent. But then I thought, you know, if I am zip that tent, as quiet as it is, all focus is going to be on me.

And I wasn't sure I wanted that, you know. So I was having kind of a struggle on what to do. And in the middle of that, then I heard it start walking off to the north out of the camp. Never got to look at it. But that's all I can come up with. I mean, I'm not a disbeliever, but I'm not 100% a believer. You know, I'm kind of in the I need solid proof kind of deal. but um so that was that was really i didn't sleep much the rest of the morning uh the next morning

got up and my buddy got out of his tent and i related to him and he's kind of a more of a logical kind of guy you know there's an explanation for everything kind of deal i related to him and he was like wow that's kind of weird um and so we went on with our day i went hunting he went his way I went in line. And later on, just right before dark, I got back to camp and he is still out. So I thought, well, I'll get a fire going and maybe get started cooking something. And so I went about that. And in the meantime, it had gotten dark.

I had sat back in my recliner, my chair, fold-out chair recliner deal. and I'm hearing coyotes, which were probably on the next ridge over because it's pretty, it's kind of rugged out there. So I'm listening to those and right about the time and I got to back up because that was the third night.

I'll go ahead with that and I'll tell you the second night, what happened to Phil. But so that, I got everything started, sat back in the deal, listened to the coyotes. As soon as they quit, to my west, back in the woods, probably down the ridgeways, I could hear something.

I wasn't sure what it was. It piqued my attention. I turned around so I could hear better, and it sounded like, it sounded like gibberish. And there were two different tones. You could hear distinctly two different tones, and I could, for the life, and you'd make out anything that was being said, but it sounded like gibberish. So I grabbed my flashlight, pointed it in that direction, and it immediately stopped. That kind of freaked me out a little bit.

But back to the second night. So the night after I originally had heard the footsteps, I'd went to bed early that night, the second night, because I didn't get much sleep the night before. and I guess Phil my buddy had in his tent he was reading an audiobook so he was

staying and it was probably I probably crashed out about eight or nine so he guesses it was probably around noonish or I mean midnightish and he he heard what he describes as

kind of a whir hum kind of thing and he said it sounded sort of like what you'd imagine, maybe an electric bike or something along those lines. And so he unzipped his tent, looked out, and you can see through the trees about, I don't know, 50 yards away, the logging road that came up to our camp. And now he said he's seen, and he didn't say orb, but that's what it sounds like to me, like a ball of light. softball maybe bigger, pretty high in the year, 10 feet or so, something like that, going down the road very slowly. And it went down and turned into where we were, which is probably 40 yards down the drive up to our camp,

and said it slowly came up the road, went through the camp, and straight into the woods and kept going. and he was he was just kind of matter-of-factly about it you know like I said I don't know you could tell that it bothered him a little bit that something like it happened and he didn't have an answer for it but um and then the third night was when I heard him in the back or heard whatever it was back there talking or mumbling or something but that's that is pretty much the experience at that time that we we went back to the same campground or camping spot in 2021. And it was basically pretty uneventful, except I had one of the mornings I decided to go around to the west. The logging road kind of left out of our place, went about a half a mile, curved around to the left or to the west, about a half a mile. And then there was a T in the road, and you can go right or left. I went left and it kind of went up the ridge further and when you got to the top there

you could see an old logging road that went to the west you know like a gradually inclined probably down half a mile quarter to a half a mile way down in there and the same on the other side which kind of put that the ridge we were on and then there was another ridge to the west of that So this kind of went down in between. And I was not thinking anything about what had happened the previous year or Bigfoot, any of that kind of stuff.

Agents who are realtors do more than open doors. They analyze market trends, interest rates, comps. They can tell you about flood zones, mixed use zones, and decode acronyms like HOA, APR, MLS. They connect you to lawyers, contractors, even Phil, the Seward scope guy. They negotiate, coordinate, advocate for you. close the deal with you and hand the keys to you. They bring you home. Real Tours are members of the National Association of Realtors, right by you. All right, quick quiz for the hiring managers out there. What's worse? Being understaffed or being poorly staffed?

They say everything happens for a reason, but I suspect everything happens for a recess. Like this commercial break, did you need 15 seconds away from music? Or 15 seconds to eat arreases? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for. Roreses. So I decided, hey, there might be some deer down there. So I slowly worked my way down, and it was probably 150 yards gradual incline all the way down to the bottom. And then it curved to the right.

So I, you know, I'd take four or five steps, stop, listen for a while, and then move on. And got to the bottom and made my turn. And the log-in road had quit, and I thought, well, I could probably work my way around to the log-in road that we saw. we came on that started up the hill when we first got there. And another thing, when we first got there in 2020, as soon as you started up the road,

the logging road kind of split off to the left and went into a valley. But it was really strange because you could stand there and look down in there and it was dark. In the middle of the day, it was dark. And it was so overgrown. So I thought maybe I could work my way over there and come out on that other logging road.

And I got down in there probably another 50 yards or so. And everything's fine. I'm just scanning for deer, you know, listening for anything. And the hair on the back of my neck, and I've never had this happen, stood straight up. I had just a, it was a weird feeling. I had like a chill that went down my back. and it's like somebody flipped a switch and I was instantly in panic mode.

I don't know what happened. It's never happened to me before. It was just weird. And so I'm standing there looking around and decided I'm not going in there. You know, so turn around, made my way back out the whole time, you know, every five, ten steps looking behind me. It was just weird.

Never had that feeling before. but so that 2021 that's really that's really all that happened but after after all of this I started listening to podcasts like yours and others and reading stuff and you know

seeing some stuff on TV although some of that's kind of garbage but and it made me think back of several different instances where there would be something not normal happen

something strange and it just dismiss it off as well that's kind of cool it's weird you know and go on but after after listening to these podcasts and whatnot and kind of hearing other people's stories of how these things act

you know I started thinking back of these different experiences you know I had with my wife one with another hunting buddy and it kind of make sense, you know. Some of the stuff like me and my wife had went to, and this is probably 2002 right there, and it would have been in the late summer, went down, and while I was working

before I retired, that was my, the whole southwestern part of the state was my area. So I'd been in and out of the Wichita Wildlife Management Area, which is, it's a pretty rugged area in southwest Oklahoma. We like to hike down there. So we went down there off and on. Well, we decided this Saturday, that Saturday, to go down and check out one of the areas we hadn't been to yet. It was called, I think, Post Oak Falls, which was in the Charran's Garden area, if anybody's familiar with that.

it's kind of the southwest corner of the wildlife management area but it's is about three-quarters to a mile back in there through the canyon and they're supposed to be a pretty nice little waterfall so we we parked in the parking area and started our walk up the trail there and there was birds I mean um bugs the normal sounds that you hear and um We got pretty good ways up in there, maybe three quarters of a mile, and you had the trail went down into the canyon. And so we got down to the bottom where the little creek was that came off of that waterfall and started walking back in there. And it was, my wife said, did you hear that?

And I said, I don't hear what? I don't hear anything. She goes, that's it. There's nothing. and it was it was like completely quiet everything like somebody flipped a switch shut off so we kind of cut that short and decided well we'll head back out we got back up out of the canyon onto the top there where the trail heads back to the car and it was it was still it was one of the one of the I've never experienced this but it's one of the quiet's this there's excruciating loud. I don't know if you know what I mean. You stand there and it's so quiet that it's it's like a buzzing in your ear.

And it's crazy. But that was that was very weird. And I've heard on some of these podcasts where you know, a lot of times people say that the force goes quiet, everything stops. You know, I don't know what happened there, but that was it was kind of a weird situation. Just kind of,

it was one of those deals where, wow, that's odd, it's kind of cool, and we went on our way. Never thought anything about it. So, and there's, we, we did, we did our anniversary at a cabin in Broken Bow, which is, it's real far southeast Oklahoma. Around Broken Bow Lake,

there's a bunch of, you can rent cabins and whatnot. So we had, And this was again in November and decided that we took our 22s and decided, well, we'd go back up, find some woods and go squirrel hunting. So we left Hootachetown, or Hootachetown, which is a little community there right off Broken Bow Lake. And so we drove, I think it's Highway 259, I'm not sure. but it goes out of a broken bow and heads up further into the, you go very much further and you're in the Quachita National Forest. But we had headed up there probably six or seven miles.

I was just looking for a logging road to turn off on. And there was one on the right. So we turned off on that. And we probably made our way back in there a couple miles, I'm guessing, and got out. And kind of we walked around the, woods a little bit and again it was that silence it's like there was not a sound to be heard and we heard and this is it about noon we heard an owl to our south it would have been our south and about a minute

later we heard an owl to the north which struck me as weird because never in my life and this may happen but I've never heard owls in the middle of the day it's usually dust early or usually overnight but that kind of that kind of hit us is a little bit weird too it's weird you think back all these different deals that happened after you after you've had an experience even a small one and you start looking into it and you can think back on different occasions where it's like well I don't know something you know something might have been happening there I'm just not sure Sure.

But, and the other one I can think of, and this would have been about 2000, another buddy from work, me and my wife had bought in East Central Oklahoma, right at the Arkansas line. We had purchased 80 acres from a gentleman. Him and his wife used to go out and hike, and their needs had gotten bad, and they just wanted to want to sell it. So we had purchased that. And it was actually, there's two mountains slash peaks,

whatever you want to call them, east of Potoh, Oklahoma. One of them, and they're right on the Arkansas line. One of them is called Potow Mountain, and the other is Oklahoma Peak. Well, the 80 acres we bought was 80 acres

right on top of Oklahoma Peak. And again, that's all warehouser logging area. And we got it cheap. because there was no access other than logging roads. You really couldn't do anything with it. But we thought it would be cool to have just some woods, mountain, you know, we could go out and hike and camp or whatever we wanted to do.

But me and my buddy had decided to go up there and stay a couple nights deer hunting. And it was pretty much the same as farther south. eastern Oklahoma. It was a lot of pine trees, a lot of hardwoods. But we had, I'd got in and we could only get about maybe to the foothill of the mountain, Oklahoma Peak. And then we had to get out and we both had backpacks. We hiked for about an hour and we got maybe halfway up and decided to go ahead and set up camp and we just mess with getting to the top the next day. So we made camp. had went to bed

and I'm not I didn't look at my watch out I'm not sure what time and night it was but I heard something in the woods and it was like it wasn't something walking through the woods it was something breaking branches

as it went through the woods I thought it was a bear um my buddy and the other tent and hey did you hear that and I said yeah we both got out of the tents and we could hear this going from about the level we were all the way down the mountain out of range where we couldn't hear it anymore and that that really kind of freaked us out because we thought maybe we got a bear wandering around so we ended up staying up around the campfire it was kind of chilly that night anyhow we stayed up

all night long by the campfire and the next morning we just we were both ragged from staying we just packed up and left but um again that's another one of those instances that after looking back and hearing other people's stories and whatnot it's like well what if you know jerry what what is it like experiencing that specifically but when it's on property that you own well i mean i was full full in full belief it was a bear now i you know i i have I never heard a bear do that because it's just like people describe, you know, of something taken off through the woods. They're not just running through the woods.

They're crashing stuff all the way through. I'm not sure if I've heard a bear do that or even seen on TV a bear do that. So that brings up questions. But sadly, not long, maybe six months after that, we ended up selling that property. I wish I wouldn't have to this day, but it was, I live in central Oklahoma. So it took us, the only way to actually get to it, we went out to look at it when he wanted to sell it to us. So we left Poto and went up, those logging roads out of Poto that went up, I guess, Poto Mountain and kind of went over. So me and my wife and my son, we decided to head up there and I had GPS coordinates that he had given me.

So we're pretty far back up in there on the logging roads and heard another via. And we're in the middle of nowhere again. There's nothing out there. It's just Woods Mountain Logging Road. Heard another vehicle and it ended up being a Jeep and there's two guys in it. They pulled up and they said, well, what are y'all doing here? And we said, well, we bought some property. We're trying to locate it.

He asked where it was at. And I told him. And he said, well, you're a ways away from that. He goes, do you have a gun? Which I thought was a, you know, we'd just meet these people and ask us, we have a gun, you know. I said, well, no, got a knife, don't have a gun on me. And he goes, well, if I were you, and this is advice of my life, don't come up in here without a pistol or a rifle. And I said, well, why is that?

And he said, well, there's things up in here that you don't want to run across. and that was where he left that. And he said, there are poachers up here that are not going to be happy you found them. So. Whoa. Yeah, exactly. So we turned around and head back out. And so we were determined to find a different way to get to this property.

And the way we found, we had to go on the north side of both of these mountains, into Arkansas. And there was a road that went south kind of right at the border. and after talking to the guy that sold it to us, he said there was a big green gate about three miles south of where you turn, and we found that, and that ended up putting us directly east of that mountain where the property was,

you know, by an hour and a half a mile. So that's how we got to it. But it took us like four hours to get there. and we were both, this is when, you know, we were both had our careers and working pretty heavy, and we just didn't have time and seen no good reason to be paying for property that we've only been to, you know, a couple times. But, yeah, it was, it was supposed to be, ran across the guy when we got there to look at it. And he, his wife dropped him off on Friday and he hunted all weekend long in that area.

His wife picked him up on Monday. I mean, this is a small town in Arkansas slash Oklahoma. So talk to him and he said, yeah, there's a, I told him about the property. He said, yeah, there's a hunting cabin right on top up there at the very top. He said, there's some big boulders up there that's got like writing inscribed on them, maybe old Spanish or something, you know, so that was, I was kind of, I really wanted to see those, but as far away as it was, it just wasn't practical. So I wish we had, now that I'm retired, I wish I had it. So do you think that you owned that the area with the cabin and the rocks with the inscription?

Yes, absolutely. Oh, my goodness. Wow. Oh, man. But it's so hard to get up to. I know. It was ridiculously hard because we had backpacks on. I had a Suzu Amigo with big tires, you know.

It got through those little logging roads pretty easy. And we could only get maybe less than a quarter of a way. up the side of it before the logging road ended. So it was pretty rough hiking to get halfway up. So it was back in there. And like I said, it was completely surrounded by warehouser logging. It was on an island by itself, but it was the top of the mountain, you know, where they couldn't log. So they didn't want nothing to do with that.

But he, that guy swore, he said, yeah, there's a, there's a little hunting cabin up there. And he said, there's an area right before you get to the top. It's got these huge, like 10, 12 foot tall flat-faced rocks. And he goes, there's stuff carved in or gouged into the side all around those things. And I've, you know, since then, I've researched and whatnot. And the Spanish, they've been all in that area. So there's no telling what it could have been. Goodness.

That's, that is absolutely wild. And even more wild is the dude who's like, there's so many questions from that. Okay, all right. Yeah, let me back up on that one. Yeah. So we got to the gate, and I had a gun with me this time. Okay. I took the guy's advice.

He had a gun with me. So me and my wife and the gate warehouser kept it locked, but the guy bought the land from him. He said, they don't mind if you use a log and trails. You can drive around the gate. So we found where you can drive around. We pull off in there. and this guy with no shirt on comes walking out of the woods because there's like a kind of a field between the fence and where you start up the mountain and it gets wooded.

So he comes walking out of the woods, you know, and me and my wife look at each other and I said, give me that pistol, you know. She gives me the pistol and I got it cock sitting in my lap and I thought, I don't know, what's about to happen here? And so he comes walking up and he's just the friendliest dude you'd ever meet. you know, hey, how y'all doing today? You know, I said, well, yeah, doing pretty good. We bought 80 acres on top of Oklahoma Peak, which I guess is this right here. And he goes, yep, that's it right there. And so he started telling us, you know, his wife drops him off on Friday,

and he hunts all through this, through the mountain and everything and kills what he can kill, and his wife picks him up on Monday, you know, so that was that. That is wild. and it's like these are questions that can never be answered but it's like so the uh and the guy was pretty much saying there's stuff up here you don't want to you don't want to see but there's also people that are shooting it well that yeah the first time we went we came from the pot from the Oklahoma side by Poto and went up those logging roads, which it's kind of a both of the mountains are right next to each other, but it's just like a huge kind of dip or low spot between

them, you know, and there's, it's mountainous. It's just, you know, mountainous all through there. And it's all heavily pine tree and hardwood, you know, so when you get in there, you're in there. and it goes up and down and around and over creeks and whatnot. But yeah, those two guys in the Jeep pulled up, and his exact words were, you don't want to be up in here without some kind of protection. You need to get you a gun or something. And I said, well, what's the story with that?

And he goes, well, there's stuff out here that you don't want to run across. And he goes, and there are poachers out here, because if you keep going, you'll find a little shack where they've hung up deer, you know, and cleaned them. They go, they'll come off in here and poach deer. But, you know, you run across them, then dudes, there's no guarantee what's going to happen. Okay, I got it.

So. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yep, yep, it's kind of like you got two different things to look out for, but not necessarily they're going after. Okay, I got it. Right, right. He said, don't, you need a gun or something up in here. Wow.

But, and we took his, we took his word for it. He said, I've lived here my whole life. He goes, you don't want to be up here. That's wild. I'm, it is a, it's a crazy area. I'm looking at it on a mapping program. It is very interesting. I mean, that mountain just goes up out of nowhere.

Yeah, it's the Oklahoma Peak and the Poto Mountain right there on the edge of, right on the border. If you look to the east from that, it's all Quachita National Forest. I mean, it just, it goes on and on, you know, way into Arkansas. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, the washtas are just are absolutely crazy. So, Jerry, you have, you've really experienced some, some interesting stuff over the years down there. After you had these experiences and you were starting to look, listen to things, like podcasts and stuff, Did you also start researching like, okay, about all the Bigfoot-related things that have happened in that area down the southeast?

Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. I regularly check BRFO. Yeah. But, yeah, any stories like on your podcast or any of the other ones that are out there that mention Oklahoma, I'm in. I'm going to listen to it just to see what other experiences people have had. And if any of them are like mine or where mine were or any of that kind of deal.

you know, it's weird before any of this ever happened. It was like, I wasn't a disbeliever because, I mean, they're finding like new species of stuff every day. Right. You know, it's, look where, look where humanity is right now. We're building spaceships and cars and houses and all that stuff. You know, if there's been Bigfoot or whatever that's been around that long, you know, they may not have evolved like we did,

but they've got to be in tune with where they're living. You know what I mean? They've got to be pretty acute and pretty, pretty good at hiding or staying hidden. Absolutely. It's very weird to think about that, how our culture is right now. There's a whole, you know, like, oh, let's start going to other planets. While, meanwhile, we don't even know all the creatures that live on our own because it's still being discovered. Right.

It's, yeah, it's weird. I listen to the podcast and watch TV, you know, some, some programs. Like I said, some of them are garbage. You know, there's one on the other day that was talking about how vicious Bigfoot was, and he's a killer and all that. And I'm like, come on, man. Where's the proof? Have you got somebody that's been killed by Bigfoot?

I don't think so. But, you know, it's just weird how people go off on different angles with it. But, you know, I think it's one. 100% possible that there's stuff out there that it's just so good at staying away from us. You know, it's just, it's not even a question for me that that's possible. And as far as, you know, some, I've heard even on the podcast, like on your show and others, where people have talked about them actually possibly being interdimensional, which, you know, I thought about that for a while.

and my first thought was, okay, that's going a little far. But then, you know, it's weird because interdimensional is just another, for example, we have, I've lived in this house 33 years, me and my wife. I'm 100% convinced I've got a spirit in this house, guaranteed. So thinking about that, I'm thinking, well, you know, I have my own proof. So I guess it's possible, you know. So when did that stuff start happening for you guys? Well, we had lived here, I don't know, probably 10 years. The house we live in, we live in the town of, well, should I say it?

No, probably. We live in a small town. And before this was actually a town, before it grew into a town, before it grew into a town. the lady we had me and my wife first got married we lived next door small town

got to know her real well she was Cherokee Indian her husband had built this house one room at her time she said when they first moved here there was nothing here nothing that fields trees nothing

and so they built a one room house and then slowly built onto it So it's been here quite a while, I mean a long time. And when she, me and my wife had at the time lived that we moved to Enid, by the base, but lived up there. And her daughter got a hold of us and said, look, mom is, she's going to come live with me because she's got, you know, some health problems. She wants you to have the house.

And I said, well, what do you mean? She wants me to have it. She just wants to sell it to you. And I said, well, I don't know, we're just getting started. I don't know if I got credit. She goes, she didn't ask that. She just wants you to make payments on it. So that's when we moved in.

So it's been here a long time, like I said, before most anything around here was. So there may be some history there of some sort. I don't know. But we lived here about 10 years and nothing, as far as I know, happened. But my son, me and my son were home. I was home for lunch. My son was home at summertime, so he was out of school. My wife was at work.

So he's in his bedroom with his door closed. You know, all kids, I got their door closed on his computer. And I'm in the living room. And it smelled like somebody dumped over a bottle of perfume. I mean, right in front of me. It was that strong. My eyes started water, and my nose was burning. It was like, holy cow.

And my first thought was Zach and my son had broke. one of his uh, clone bottles somehow. And I asked him, you think that's strong enough? And he goes, what are you talking about?

I smell it too. So I opened his door. And I mean, the whole house smelled like it. And I got, I had a lab that got into everything. So I thought, well,

maybe he went, got in our bedroom and got into something. So I walked back there, walked into the room, didn't smell anything. And when I came back to the living, the smell was completely gone like it never happened.

Um, I mean, gone from the house. You couldn't even smell it anywhere and it was so strong it made your eyes water that was the very first time that we had any kind of uh you know anything that made you think huh so right um again i was sitting in the recliner by the by the front door my i got a table next to me on the right with the lamp and whatnot my lab is laying by the front door um and is the only way i can explain it's like somebody put their hand

under, you know, it's an open open table, in other words, it's got the top and then the legs, no nothing underneath it. And it was like somebody put their hand under there and just hit the bottom of the table. I mean, everything went flying off the table, the lamp hit the floor. My dog, I

looked over when that happened and he had just had enough time to raise his head and go, oh crap. And he took off, headed to the back of the house. Again, that was weird. So about then I'm thinking,

okay, there might be something happening here. And over the years, probably four or five times, you'll walk through the house and just randomly catch that perfume smell. I mean, it's just there.

And then it's gone. It might be there. A couple minutes might be there 30 seconds, but it's just, it's weird. I think the last time anything happened was probably four or five years ago. We have a room that we had gutted that we were remodeling.

And so we kept the door closed so the dogs wouldn't get in there. And actually we kept it latched. And at the time I had a lab and we had a little lap dog. So come home for work. And I'm home for my wife gets home every day. So I got got home. Come in, the door's wide open. I'm like, what in the world have?

I must have forgot to latch it, so I closed it. Three days in a row, I'd come home and that door was wide open after I made absolutely sure it was locked and latched. So then I decided, okay, I'm going to find out what's happening. And I had one of those little digital recorders, and I sent the dogs out back, and I turned all the ceiling fans off, turned everything off, and went in the dining room where that door was and started asking questions.

You know, because I thought, well, maybe it's the lady that you used to live here or maybe her husband because he built this all by hand. Agents who are realtors do more than open doors.

Take noise-canceling headphones. Do they block hearing to height and taste? Hmm. That sound seems to show. Everything happens for a recess. I thought, well, maybe they're just still here and maybe not happy with something, I don't know. So I started asking questions, and I said, is this Mr. So-and-so?

Nothing. You know, is this Mrs. so-and-so? Nothing. And I said, are you the one that keeps opening this door? And clearly on the recorder, it said, no. I heard that. I walked out in the front yard, that kind of, really freaked me out a little bit.

I called my wife and told her what happened. And that pretty much put a lid on it. So there's something here. Something's here. We don't think about much anymore. I mean, we'll have, I did have a set of keys that I'd come home to my truck, bought a brand new truck. It comes with two sets of keys.

So I had a set of keys. And I come in, I always set my keys on the table next to the chair. So I did that. And an hour or two later, I went to leave. The keys are gone. I've multiple times over the years have looked for those keys in furniture and everywhere you could possibly think I've scoured the yard everywhere they're just gone but really I don't feel like it's anything bad you know we'll be sitting sitting

watching TV and in the back of the house we're here a door close and there's no wind door or windows are closed just odd things happen but it's it's gotten to be be almost a running joke now, you know, we'll hear something and go, well, it must be the ghost. Right. Yeah. Oh, man. That's why that happened before the Bigfoot stuff. Yeah, this is, this is way before.

And it's kind of been ongoing. I think the door stuff coming open was after. But it's been stretched, you know, over 25 years. So it's been stretched out, you know, every. couple two or three years something will get weird something will happen and you're like i don't know about that um like you said the most recent one was probably about four or five years ago and that was the the door opening and closing or opening and then i'd come home and close it and lax it and it'd be open the next day so hadn't been anything since then but because of all that i'm pretty

well convinced that there's something, you know, there's spirits of some sort. So it's not completely out of the question, I guess, for maybe Bigfoot's or Sasquatch or whatever to be interdimensional. I mean, you never know. No, I mean, there's so many, you know, questions in this realm. I talk to people a lot and, you know, after they have a, you know, Bigfoot interaction, sometimes it'll get home and stuff will start. to kick off and they'll see reports like shadow people

or stuff moving around the room or start hearing things. It's very weird stuff. That jog my mind a little bit. That little dog that we had, it was just a Yorkie poo or some little lap dog as my wife's dog. I had a lab so I didn't pay much attention. But that dog would, we'd be in the living room watching TV or reading, whatever we're doing, that dog would get up in one of our laps and stare at the particular

corner of the house and bark. He'd focus on that corner like he's focusing on a snack. He's weird. Again, we just attributed that to the ghost. But he was seeing something, or thought he was seeing something. I'm not sure. But, yeah, ever since the deal when we were camping, I didn't really give two thoughts about it, you know, unless I didn't dig for information.

In other words, it was just, you know, and then once you start looking into it, stuff starts making a whole lot more sense. There can't be possibly this many people that are liars. They just can't. Yeah. I think about that all the time, actually. It's like there's no way. Yeah. I mean, you got people that are pillars of society that are, you know, they'll stake their life on the fact that whatever happened happened, you know, it's just, it's just a weird situation.

But yeah, now, now I go hunting in the woods or, me and the wife go out, you know, anywhere out in the woods or hunting or hiking or any of that kind of stuff. It's weird how now, you know, my ears are, I'm listening for everything. I'm scanning for everything. I'm listening for anything like the sound to quit. It just opens you up and you start, you're on a different level. Absolutely. I mean, it does. It changes how you perceive the world for sure.

I do have a few questions about the actual. Sure, sure. Three day camping trip that you shared about. I'm looking at the pictures that you had sent. And did it do anything? You had a shovel and a rake in the pitchers. Did it mess with those at all either? You know, I'm not sure.

Okay. I don't know if I even paid attention to those. But you see where the picnic table is? It's, and I can't believe, I woke up the next morning. And I said, did you not hear anything last night? And he said, no, I slept all last night. Because you see how close that picnic was to his tent? Oh, yeah.

The green tent. Yeah. I'm thinking, how did you not hear that? Because it was so calm and quiet that whatever walked around and came up there, it was like they were, it's like you had a, you know, in camping, camping stuff, you know, you got a metal coffee pot, you got a metal plates a lot of times. she got you know and it was like he was moving it was moving stuff on the table and stuff were clinking together and you could just hear stuff moving you know it's like crap i don't

how did you i don't know how you didn't hear that and you know there was no i did think to look to see if there's any footprints but again it was all um pine needles there's no foot it was all hard hard ground and pine needles. So I didn't see anything anywhere. And you know it's weird that that night we got there and we were so tired getting a sent to that. I usually have trail cams everywhere I go. I had a bag full of them, didn't put anything out that night.

Ever since that first night, they're up the first thing we get there. I'm pulling in. I'm putting cameras up. So I don't know. There was somebody on one of the podcasts that said they, They think they could possibly tell when there's a trail cam out there or sense the infrared light or something. I don't know. Yeah, yeah.

But I just find it weird that, you know, I didn't put cameras up and that's, you know, and the other thing that's weird is the second night I put cameras up in this thing that my partner saw was like 10 foot off the ground, which the trail cam is not going to catch. It didn't catch any of that. it was facing the camp and the logging road would have been behind it and if it came into camp

it was going to be higher than what that's seeing I just find it weird how that works yeah that's really interesting it's almost like all right they got game cams up

so time to get into like orb mode or something who knows like I have gotten I have gotten on a couple occasions some very very strange

trail cam I've got that I've kept those. As a matter of fact, this year was one of them. I'm hunting all about 15 miles east of where I live, which you start getting out into, you know, you're in the country by the time you get that far out. And one of the deacons of my church has got property and he lets me hunt out there. So I got the cameras and the feeder and all that stuff set out and going through,

and this, I couldn't tell you, it might have been the end of October. But going through the pictures, and this was taken sometime in the middle of the night, I don't remember exactly what time, but there's deer at the feeder looking up, and there are two lights, balls of light or lights up in the air and looking at daylight pictures to compare, they look like they're maybe 50 foot up in the air, and the deer are actually looking up at them. and for the life of me, I can't figure out what that could even possibly be. But stranger than that, east of town here on my uncle's property, on a creek, I had a stand set up and had cameras out there.

And if you progress to the pictures at about 10 o'clock at night, I had deer all the way up at the feeders until about 10. Then the deer were gone. And then from 10 o'clock through about 2 in the morning, there's some of the strangest stuff you'll ever see in your life. The deer's gone, and then right after that quits, the deer are back. But it's like, it's very hard to explain. It's like there's almost, almost, it's all light, light play.

There's like a, you know, like a streak of light. And then one that'll like a streak up down and across. And in those streaks, there'd be the profile of a face. It's weird. I'm telling me it's weird. I've got those pictures. But that went on for like almost four hours, and then it quit, and the deer came back. And I showed him to my uncle, who's a great godfaring man, and he had no words.

He had no words for it. He looked at him, and he's like, I really don't know what that is. That's so very, very strange stuff. Did you guys have any? Oh, and that happened probably. five years ago. Okay. Gotcha. On your vehicles that you had at that campsite, did you have any like handprints or things the next day that you noticed? We both looked and neither one of us noticed any, which is, it's kind of hard to believe because on that picture, you see my tent in the back,

the kind of white one, then the picnic table and then you see the back of Phil's car or a truck, gray truck. Mine's probably parked not more than four feet away from his parallel with it. So whatever, wherever left there had to have, it sounded, they went straight out. So they had to have walked between them to leave. But evidently, they didn't touch anything. I didn't check anything on the table to see if there were fingerprints or anything. I mean, you know, here's another weird deal is, so the next morning after that happened, before we headed out to hunt,

my buddy's friend that he was camping with at the deer camp down, and they were camp probably a couple miles away down in the low area by the river. He had come up to see what we were up to, and Phil, my buddy said, tell him the story, tell him that. What happened, what you say happened. So I told him, and he wasn't surprised at least. He said, we've camped here for years. Pretty much everybody in campus had an experience.

And he said last year, one of the guys had loaded up two, because they had a big camp, you know, like 10, 15 people at a time. So he loaded up two or three guys and two or three hours for dark. You know, he'd go drop them off where they wanted to be dropped off. And then he'd come back and pick them up when it got dark. And they were coming back to pick up the second guy. And he was running down. There's a clear cut where the power lines are.

he was running down that to get to the truck and said that he had got halfway up there and there was a big boulder in the middle there and something stood up behind it. And I guess scared the, you know what, out of him. And so he turned and headed down the hill. And that was recent to mine, my deal. But he said, Dave, as long as they've camp there, pretty much everybody that comes to that camp has seen something. And they're from the, most of them are from the general area. It's like nobody out there surprised.

Nobody that lives in that area is surprised if you tell them anything like that. Wow, that is, man, after knowing that, I mean, it puts even more onto the story. That is, that is awesome. Did, were there any weird smells around the campsite that you know? I did notice that. I thought of that when I was hearing the footsteps, because when I went through my progression, you know, it's not a bear, it's not on four feet, so it's not a horse.

That's got to be on two feet. And then my thought went to Sasquatch Bigfoot, and I thought, but I don't smell anything. I didn't smell anything. Okay. And that's what I'm thinking, okay, is that what I really think it is? I don't know. But there's no other explanation.

And whatever it was was intentionally sneaking. Yeah. because the footprints were like you could hear it like hit on its heel and just slowly crunch forward and stop and then like two seconds later you hear the same thing and it did that all the way around me you know like I said it may have taken five minutes for it for it to get from the tree line behind me to the picnic table did you uh did you wake up any morning and notice anything weird that was out of place in the camp that wasn't there the day before for? You know, I don't know what we noticed anything like that. Okay. Agents who are realtores do more than open doors. They analyze market trends, interest rates, comps. They can tell you about flood zones, mixed use zones, and decode acronyms like HOA, APR, MLS. They connect you to lawyers, contractors, even Phil, the Seward scope guy.

Take noise-canceling headphones. Do they block hearing to height and taste? Hmm. That sound seems to show. Everything happens for a recess. The gibberish thing was kind of weird though. Like I said, I was cooking, I was cooking, you know, getting some stuff together to throw in the fire. And I started the fire in which I sitting in my chair and was waiting on the fire to, you know, put some coals out so I could start cooking.

And it was a fairly quiet night. You know, you heard bugs and stuff. And then, like I said, you hear the coyotes bust out. and they had to be a mile or more away. They were over on the other ridge. And they went on for, I don't know, 20 seconds or so. And just immediately, as soon as they quit, like I said, I started hearing, it sounded like a conversation,

but when I started listening real close, it made no sense. It was all just kind of like baby talk. And I could tell listening that I was trying to make out what it was saying, but at the same time, I noticed there was two different. One was kind of high and one was lower. I mean, they were both low, but one was higher than the other. So there was two of whatever it was. I grabbed my flashlight, swung it over there.

As soon as it hit the woods, it stopped. And that was at nothing after that. Have you heard anything that sounds similar to what you were hearing that night? Oh, well, on, on uh there's been a few shows where they've talked you know kind of simulated what somebody heard and that's it was close to that you know it's just it's weird it's like uh you know when people get far away from me it sounds like gibberish but at the same time i'm thinking okay to my west that's down in the that's down between the two ridges there's nobody down there

oh and there was i keep thinking this stuff okay the second year we went in 2021 right when I said not much happened I'd walked down in that one area back behind where we camped and got a weird feeling but in that same area like second from the last night and this was in the middle of the night again I don't know what time but it was in the middle of the night woke me and my partner both up it was like World War III going off down in that ravine valley wherever you want to call it um it's to like two or three guns and they were just going off. I mean, it sounded like war, like bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

And then it just quit. I have no idea what that was. Didn't see anybody coming or going. That's very, very strange. Yes, very strange. Did you, so you mentioned that you had sensations of like your hair standing up? Mm-hmm. Were there any other things that happened that would be?

like unexplained physical like things happening to anyone in the group you know my buddy that i i hunted with like i said he was more of a a logical thinker i guess you'd say he didn't he was show me the proof kind of guy if i think got proof and it's something else you know um so he never really mentioned anything that's weird to him other than that that light and that's the only the time I mean I've been in the woods most of my life hunting fishing from the time I can walk I I walk carried a BB gun with my dad pheasant you know when I could barely walk so I've been hunting a long time been out in the woods a lot and I've never just like I said the weird part about it is I'm just walking along hunting you know just checking the woods looking around

trying to spot a deer or listen to one crunch in the woods. And I stopped. And it's just like somebody flipped a switch. You know, I got that weird chill down my spine, felt like my hair was standing on the end. And I was suddenly ridiculously scared. I mean, just like that. And it's, that's the only way I can explain.

It was just, I've never, ever had anything like that happened. And that was enough to make me uncomfortable enough to turn around and leave the area. I mean, I've heard other people talk something, you know, something similar to that. You know, you can kind of sense something. But I wasn't looking. That was the last thing on my mind. I wasn't looking to sense anything except find a deer. Absolutely. Is this a place where you continue to go to this camp for deer season or not anymore? I, well, I haven't what I, my, my buddy's been back down there a couple times. And this, like I said, this is about, this is 2020, 2020, 2021 was the last time I went down there. He went a couple years after that.

And then last year is when I started hunting at my Deakin's property east of me. So no, I have since 2021, I haven't been back. I'm not scared to go back. I'd go back. I mean, like I said, I'm just, I would be more focused and paying attention to what's going on around me than I was before. That would be about the only thing that would change. Because I'm not, I haven't actually seen one. I don't know what that would do to a person.

I just can't say what to do to me if I actually seen one. I know I'd put a rubber stamp on it and say, yep. it's not really changing the way I feel about the woods. I'm not scared to go out in the woods. I'd go, like I said, I'm just going to be more aware. Yeah, absolutely. I think that's one of the, you know, I think a lot of people have that, you know,

how would I react if I actually had a visual sighting? Well, I mean, when I was in my tent, you know, and had my gun in one hand and my flashlight in the other and I'm thinking all I got to do is unzip this real quick and I can see what this is you know but as soon as I thought that I'm thinking okay

you know now the lights on me if that is a big foot he's looking straight at me 15 feet away you know do I want that I'm not sure I want that and you know it's the things that go through your mind at that

point I'm thinking I really really really want to know but you know what if I have to shoot well I can't shoot the buddy's tents right on the other side there both vehicles are right there next to that if I end up shooting I'm shooting everything you know what I mean it's all right there so I don't know if I want to shoot and all this stuff's running through my mind while I'm trying to sort this out it walks off so I have no idea how I would actually I think it would be much easier if you're in the woods walking along look up and there he was.

And it just, you know, because it just, it just happens. And there he is and you've seen him or had an experience seeing him other than there was too much of a buildup for me, you know, hearing whatever it was, walk through there, knowing something's out there and having all this, having time to all this to run through my mind. I think it's just been much easier just to turn a corner and there he is, you know. Yeah, I'm hoping, I hope maybe this year, the next year, just to be able to have a sighting somewhere, get that out of the way, focus on. I would love to.

I would love to actually see it because then that answers a whole lot of questions. I don't care what anybody else would say. You know, it's kind of funny because I got home from the deer camp and told my wife. wife, you know, explained to her the whole situation what happened. And she was like, well, maybe it'll happen next year. You know, she just kind of matter of factly. It doesn't, it doesn't affect her one way or the other, you know, and I told my son, and he listened, you know, and he got a good chuckle out of it. And I'm thinking, oh, you know, and I think I've told one other person, I thought, you know, I'm just going to keep that as my experience.

I'm just you know and I like I was watching these podcasts I've seen your your scenes are more more credible than anybody so congrats on that thank you I try to you know focus on

letting people share their story you know what I mean I just got into where I'm especially if it's Oklahoma man I'm I'm glued to that kind of stuff I mean I'm kind of I don't want to say infatuated but I just like hearing other people's experiences.

Maybe because it maybe validates mine a little bit, I don't know. But, you know, kind of adds to what I think about the situation. But anyway. Well, Jerry, it is, it's great, it's always great to hear something from an individual like yourself who is not, you know, didn't start out all like gung ho about Bigfoot, but was just out hunting and experienced some things in an area that is really known for. for Bigfoot encounters. So I just want to say thank you for coming on the show and for sharing what you've experienced over the years. And hopefully it helps a lot of people that are listening to this as well.

Well, good. It's been fun. Like you said, I haven't told that in a while. So it was good to finally come out with all that. And like I said, I've come up with all the other back thoughts of all the other areas I've been to and weird stuff happen and kind of connecting the dots type. thing. So. And, you know, if anything, if you're out hunting again in the future and something else weird does happen, don't be afraid to reach out, I'd love to hear about that as well.

But I just thank you for coming on and chatting today, Jerry. Yeah, no problem. I enjoy the show, man.
