You're listening to Bigfoot Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first-hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways, the stories come from everywhere, and each one leaves us with more questions than answers. These are the voices of the people who've lived it. So settle in because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us. Please keep Jeremiah in your prayers as he continues his fight against cancer. For more updates about his medical journey, please go to the Caring Bridge link in the show notes.

Thank you. All right, Bigfoot Society. You've got the privilege of talking to Michelle Heaton from the Sweet Home Oregon area again. How are you doing today, Michelle? And doing really good. How are you? Hey, doing well. We're doing a day at a time.

We got, it's two days, second day into treatment. So trying to get used to all the wacky stuff. I love your haircut. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. I think I might keep it actually after all this is over. It's kind of fun. A few notes about Michelle.

Man, she's got a lot of cool stuff going on. We first talked to Michelle back about, I think that episode came out about 10 months ago, August or September 2025. I had met Michelle at Sasquatch Summerfest. and she heads up a few things. So she heads up the sweet home Sasquatch group and I know I'm saying that wrong. Sweet Home Oregon Sasquatch Research Group. Yeah, I changed it, Jeremiah, sweet home Sasquatch just because the other was a mouthful.

You've got a great thing going on up there. And if people want to get even more to Michelle's story, you want to go back and listen to Episode 898 is the one that came out originally. She's also got, you're involved with a radio station out there, right, Michelle? I am. Yes, I am. So this is an old show. It's called Strange Oregon. And it was on for quite a while and it had a lot of listeners. and then I believe somebody passed away. One of the hosts had passed away,

and it just kind of fizzled out. So the station asked, actually, Priscilla from the Sasquatch Summerfest, to do it again, and she asked me to co-host with her. So she, and then we did the first episode, and then she decided that she just had too much going on. It was too much. So she passed it along to me. And I didn't even struggle to find a co-host.

I called up Jason Kenzie. And right away, he jumped on it. And I was like, I feel so blessed for that. Jason is such a great guy. He's such a great personality. And he has so much to add to it. So we haven't aired yet. It's on KEPW out of Eugene.

It's an FM radio station. But we've recorded two episodes. I'm actually going to the studio right after this so I can edit those and we can get them going. Oh, wow. And that's 97.3 in that area. Is that right? Yeah. Yep, 97.3. It'll also be on Pacifica. So anywhere in the United States and I believe it's worldwide, they can pull the episodes off and air them on their own station. Oh, that's cool. So you might hear it on other radios stations. All over the world. Okay, very good. That's fantastic. Is that available online, do you think? I believe it will be, yeah.

I'll post links on my personal account and the Sweet Home account on Facebook. Absolutely. You've also got the, it's a really good Facebook group, Sweet Home Sasquatch. And then a newer one, Girls Gone Squatchen, which is really cool too. That's a great group. Yeah, I'm excited about it. It's something I've been wanting to do for a really long time. And I finally, like the girls just came, you know, I opened up the group and it's just

Like I've got a flock of these wonderful females who just want to be involved. So that's going to be really fun. Which, you know, that that's a whole, that's a whole thing. Man, we need more of a female voice in this, this community. And it's just like, I'm always like, oh my goodness. It's so easy to, you know, the male voices, hear so many. But like need more female voices so we can encourage the next. of, you know, female researchers and experiencers and, like, to let them know that it's

okay to speak up about what they've experienced. And so whenever I'm able to get someone like yourself, Michelle, on the show, it's like, oh, thank, thank goodness, you know, we finally have another female voice, which is so important in this field. It really is. I think, well, thank you very much for saying that. I think it's really important to remember that, you know, in this in searching for Sasquatch. You know, it's a male-dominated field, which there's nothing wrong with that. Right. It's amazing.

But I feel like our feminine qualities kind of get lost in that masculinity. And so we feel like we need to be like them and we don't. We, you know, we have our, we have to step back into our feminine qualities and, you know, research that way. That's how I research, you know. Sure. Sure, absolutely. I think that, you know, when you have those female presences out in the field, that can really lead to a lot of experiences have happened because those female presence are in the field. It's very interesting to look into.

You also have released a book, which is the Dream Guardian Sasquatch in The Path of Awakening. Tell me about that. Yeah, so I know we touched a little bit on this on my previous episode with you, Jeremiah. It's about my dream that I started having when I was five and just how it ties in and connects to what I'm doing now. Which is, it's a fascinating story. And again, episode 898, I'll have it linked at the end. So listeners, you can go check it out after this. if you're over on YouTube, it'll be easy to do so.

And I'll put it in the show notes too. But, man, Michelle, what has happened? Has anything cool been happening up in Sweet Home since we last talked? I know you're going up to that reservoir, the Green Peter Reservoir, and there's action going on up there. But you're probably hearing all sorts of stuff. Oh, yeah. There's tons of stuff. Actually, there's been a lot of really cool new tree structures that are, and I kind of asked for it, too.

I was like, okay, you know, these, I'm finding these structures. They're old. They're beautiful. You can tell they've been here for quite a while. So in December, before I left for my road trip, I just voiced to them, you know, that when I came back, I wanted to have like something new. It was like just, you know, I wanted to see something different. So I came back and it took a couple weeks for me to finally notice it. Somebody else noticed it before I did, but it was right off the trail.

It was this beautiful structure and it was just so intricately designed that. And I feel like there's no purpose other than it was for me, just the aesthetics of it. You know, like look at this as you asked for this beautiful structure and here it is, you know. And there's footprints all around it. It's just absolutely gorgeous. Wow. That is really cool. And I think there's definitely something.

it's it's definitely a thing you put that out there and uh you'd be surprised uh what happens it reminds me of a uh a recent episode where a gentleman was like yeah i just want to see a footprint get some audio and that's what happened i mean that's what happened and uh yeah when you put yourself out there it is uh it can be incredible what what can happen do you ever you know Not that it's come out on the show, but I've been hearing stuff from Marcola, which is south of you, right? Yeah, it's in me, well, kind of, yeah. Yeah, it is. South, it's in between me and Eugene.

So, yeah, it would be south of me. Okay. Do you ever hear stuff from down there? I do. I do. And I've heard a lot of local reports from Mercola, and there's a specific trail that I am going to take a look at soon. Awesome. I think. I bet it might be a similar one. There's some areas down there where they keep coming up. Yeah, absolutely. You mentioned a road trip. Was that a Bigfoot road trip? Yeah. Yeah. So it was kind of a big foot. It was a personal road trip. It was just kind of like, you know, getting back to my roots. I went and visited all my childhood friends. I grew up in Michigan. I have friends that had moved to.

to New Orleans. So I went down there and stayed with them for a month. I went over to Tennessee and stayed with my friend there for a month. And then I went back to Michigan and I stayed in Michigan for two weeks because me and Pema both came down with COVID. We were really sick. So the minute that my daughter got better, I was like, I need to go home. This has been a long trip. But we did do some research in Tennessee. I researched. the, it's called Cherokee National Forest. Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah. Beautiful, beautiful tree structures there are just enormous and almost kind of portalish,

kind of, you know, like we would, there was one in particular that was, it was two trees on one side of the hill and they were criss-crossed and pushed over. And then on the other side, there was one tree that was pushed over. and it kind of connected and held the other two up over a trail and I could drive under it. It was, I mean, it blew my mind. And so I sat there for, I would say a couple of minutes at least, just looking at it and thinking, okay, should I drive under it? And I finally, I was like, whatever, I'm just going to go.

So I went underneath it. And instantly it was really weird. It was like this pressure in my head. It just kind of whew, yeah, did that. And then once we got through it and we parked on the other side of it and got out of the car, we can feel this buzzing. Like you can hear it in your ears. It was almost like a bee buzz.

And it was just, it was really, it was strange. But that didn't go away until after we had drove back under it to go out. So. Oh, man. That is extremely strange. So back in April, I had gone out to the Smokies and some other places. And I was, I can't say where in East Tennessee out of respect to the researcher that I was in his area. But I will tell you, I was pretty close to Cherokee National Forest.

And you go into those woods. And I, you know, man, I was seeing big old trees. and tree structures real high up. That was the area where I was out there with Robbie Farrell out in the laurels, and we got bluff charged by something. It was either a bear or is a big foot, and we didn't stick around. I was like, oh, that video is going to be coming out eventually. I'm going to try to get it out hopefully in the next few months.

I can't see it. I was like, oh, that's a new experience. Yeah, I'm bad. Yeah, it was weird. That charges are no joke. No, I know for sure. For sure. So how would you compare the experience of going out in the woods big footing in Tennessee where you were to where you are out in Oregon?

Yeah, it's, I mean, it's really not a lot of difference aside from, you know, what it looks like and stuff. because obviously they're two different places. You've got the rainforest, and then you have the, you know, the Smoky Mountains or the Appalachian Mountains. So energetically, I would say that the mountains here, or at least my area, has a more calming kind of feel to it. It's really, for me, it's very relaxing and it's non-threatening out there. I don't know if it was just because it was my first time, my only time, but I definitely felt a little more on edge out there. And with the weird kind of portally kind of things going on too, that definitely affected me. I've never really felt that out here in Sweet Home.

Oh, wow. Really? Yeah. Yeah, that was that was it really. Okay. Interesting. Interesting. Have you heard anything recently from up in like a Green Peter Reservoir area? Anything going on up there? Yeah, there's a lot of stuff going on up there, actually. I can't remember if I told you or not the last time, if it was on the last episode.

I've had a couple of experiences where I've been kind of snuck up on. Did I, I can't remember if I told you that. Was that the time where you were like driving down and then you had the experience in the car? Was that a different time? Yeah, no. It was right at Green Peter Resort. Actually, it was right at Giant's Door. You heard it.

I don't think I've heard that one. Okay. So this, this was really crazy. So me and then two of my research partners, Tim and Eric, we were there and we were shining the ridge and we were seeing these orbs. Jeremiah, we've been seeing these a lot lately too. These orbs and they're kind of, they're about the size of, I don't know, maybe a volleyball or basketball and they kind of pulsate a little bit, but they're blue. They're all blue. And so we're shining up on the ridge and we're seeing some eyeshine animals, whatever, you know, and these.

herbs. And then my flashlight went out and I turned around and I was paying attention to something else. Super dark out too, by the way. And Eric says, Michelle, look, he's got his flashlight shined up on the ridge. And I looked and I saw something and I don't know what it was. I couldn't make it out. It was just movement to me. And I said, what wasn't? He said it was a Sasquatch. It stood up. It was like in a squatting position on the ridge and it looked like a rock and it stood straight up and it looked down at us and it turned around and it walked away. So I was like, that's awesome. That would be Eric's first sighting ever. You know, I was super excited for him. So him and Tim are over here and they're discussing something. Then I see him start walking down the road and I'm like,

wait, where are you guys going? Don't leave me here. And they're like, oh, we'll be right back. We'll be right back. You know, this is, I swear to God, this is the ploy for every male researcher that I research with, which is fine. It's not a problem. I'm a willing slash unwilling participant. Right.

They start walking down the road. We'll be right back. And then just as I see their flashlights go out of view, I hear behind me, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom. I screamed. I jumped in my car. My windows are down. And my car is a push to start, right? You put your foot on a brake.

Yeah. And then you push it. I'm trying to find a key hole. Oh, my goodness. I'm trying to find a key because I just totally blamed. Yeah, right. So I yell out the window. I'm like, Eric's right behind me.

So I see, here they come. Their flashlights are coming back down the road. And they walk past the car. You know, I'm like, it's 20 feet behind me, and I get out of the car and we look. And because it's so dark and there's like ledges on the side that go down to the reservoir itself. So you can't really see anything. And so I was like, okay, we hung out for a half an hour and took off. So a couple days later, I brought out another one of my research members, Matt.

He's super athletic guy. So he was able to climb down the side of that hill there. And he found Jeremiah four footprints going up the hill. Really? Yes. And then he also found this giant rock that kind of looks like a bench. And on it was a huge butt print. It's got moss all over it.

So there's a huge butt print in the moss. So he sat on it. And Matt's a, he's a pretty big guy. he's over six feet tall. He's got a really long torso. So he said he sat. I watched him do this. He sat on the rock and he kind of looked.

And he said that as as he sat, he was almost eye level with where my car was parked. Oh, my goodness. So in theory, something he could have been that, you know, Sasquatch, I'm sure, was sitting on that rock just watching. waiting for Eric and Tim to go down the road around the corner. That is wild.

How wide across would you approximate that the butt moss print on the seat was? I would say it was about, what would, maybe 24 inches. Okay. That's a question I've never had to ask on the show before. So definitely wanted to ask that one. That is wild. Did you get any pictures of that? Yeah, I do. I have pictures. They're all on the sweet home.

Oh, there you go. Sweet home Sasquatch. All of my research evidence and stuff that I have pictures and videos and whatnot, I always post in the feature part. So when you go to the group and you click on the featured button, then all of my research photos and videos are right there. So you don't have to scroll through you know, a bunch of stuff. But yeah, that happened. And, you know, it's kind of funny because Jason came out, Jason Kenzie came out and filmed a searching for Sasquatch documentary with us. And him and my research partner, Joel, did the same thing. I opened up the hatch in the back of my car right in the habitat. And Jason had set up a camera and it was dark out. It was dark out.

night and um jason and jol walked down a trail and as soon as they got i couldn't hear him anymore or anything crazy stuff to happen it's on film it'll be in the documentary yeah i can't wait it was frightening scared the living daylights out of me so man that experience you had trying to get the key and didn't even have it that's like totally out of dress park that's just i can't imagine dealing with that uh yeah it's fun incredible and you're saying it sounded like it was like bipedal steps coming to yeah wow yeah totally it totally was bipedal yeah there was a night it was just like boom boom and i can hear it and almost i i couldn't feel it but i felt like i can feel it you know what i mean it was that loud it was just like boom boom boom boom that was it

goodness, that's wild. I don't know. Let's see. So, I will have the link to, of course, the Sweet Home Sasquatch group in the show notes. So people can check that out. I will say your group there has just quality information and data from that area. I would say that and the Bend Biggs. foot research group from Randy is it's like my top I would say top three for that area that

one and you guys and then Sasquatch puzzle you guys are like out there getting the stuff and it is incredible the the research that is coming out of those those three organizations for sure and also sharing information I really like sharing information with William Morris and Randy Shively. Absolutely. It's good good little back and forth for sure.

So let's talk about so you were able to get down to Sasquatch Summerfest again. Yeah. How did that go? It was so fun.

First of all, Summerfest is just like a big family reunion. And you were sorely missed there. Everybody just was just missing you so much, Jeremiah.

Thank you. Yes. I missed it greatly. I know you did. I know you did. But so Persilid asked Sarah from Sailor Sasquatch and myself to kind of fill in her shoes a little bit while you were gone. And so that was my second time speaking. And I had a really great time. It was fun. But we also, we did night hikes. Priscilla, me and Jason Kenzie went out, took people out on night hikes.

That was amazing. We had so much fun doing that. We found so many really cool things. We were finding weavings. There was like a weaving. And it was older, too. You could tell it wasn't recently done. Oh, wow.

It had been there for a while. Hearing noises and orbs, the orbs out there. We were sitting, so we had a group of people were down hiking. you know, looking for evidence. And then we had a group of people sitting up at the campsite. We didn't camp, but it's a campsite. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, looking for like orbs and stuff like that.

And I was looking down the trail. It's a dead end trail. So I'm looking down the trail. And I saw a flash of light. And I said, hey, everybody, I saw a flash a light. And just as everybody turned around and looked, we all of us watched this. white, big white, translucent orb go right across the trail. It was amazing. And it was the amazing part is that everybody saw it, you know? It wasn't just one of us. Yeah. How many people

were out there with you? I think we had about 10 people-ish on each hike. So it wasn't a whole lot. it was really easy to, you know, be attentive to everybody, you know, and be inclusive with everyone. Everybody was included, and it was a really good feel. It takes a long time to get out to this area, and you are driving on Forest Service roads. You're up, you're down, you're all around corners, and there's no way that it's just, you're not in someone's backyard where it's like, oh, now there's a drone. no, this is not a possibility. This is not just a random drone flying.

Like that was something else completely that you guys saw out there. I can guarantee it because of stuff that I've experienced out there as well. And that just blows my mind that everyone was able to see it. I was so happy about that. I was so happy to have witnesses. You know, because a lot of times you're out there in the field. And with me in particular, I've had instances where I've seen. something and all the people with me didn't you know and it kind of makes you feel really alone and

isolated and crazy and you know everything else so just to have everybody else witness the same thing that I was witnessing it was really it was a great experience especially not just one other person but multiple witnesses multiple yeah very rare now stuff like that happens so quick I know it was how how long would you say it probably lasted for um I would say maybe five or six seconds. It was just kind of like, like if you were to see a person kind of walk across a trail, that's how long it lasted. But it was, the orb was really big too. It was like, gosh, just judging on how far away it was, it was maybe about three feet. And it was, it wasn't perfectly round either. It was shaped more like a tick tack, you know, like it was kind of, yeah,

It was really, it was strange. It was unlike any. I've seen a lot of orbs, and I've never seen an orb like that before. And the way that it started, too, was a flash of light. It was like a flash of light and a white flash of light. And then it dissipated. And then when everybody turned around, it reappeared. And it just went right across the trail.

Really? Okay. Now, I'm trying to, this is also the area for longtime listeners. They can make a connection where this is where Priscilla and Chad had the sighting when they were gathering Moss. 20-24. Yes. Yes. So I'm imagining you guys are in because you drive it's a dead end.

Then there's an opening. You're probably standing in that opening in front of the field. And then were you turning around looking towards the road that goes down and there's like all the trees that are open? the tall trees. Was it going through the tall trees? Yes, it was. Yeah, totally. Yeah, we were all sitting.

We were kind of sitting in camp chairs in a circle. And I was facing directly down the trail. So that's why I saw it because, you know, I was facing it. And then when I mentioned it, the people who were kind of going around the circle, two of them stood up and turned around. And that's when they saw them. And then they walked down there. Yeah.

Because I think I remember Ronnie and Dwayne, some other gentlemen have, we've gone up there a few times, and they've mentioned that that area out there in the trees, they've had some weird stuff happen out there before. I've been out there with Priscilla in the past. Oh, yeah. Yeah, but we didn't, I personally didn't see anything, but I did witness the energy drains that were happening with the agreement. equipment, the cameras, their phones. I think Ben, her son had an issue with something on his car where the energy had just drained. So, yeah, there's a lot of, it's not just Sasquatch out there. There's a lot of really strange happenings, you know, going out there. As with my area, my area is really the same. It's just, you know, in a different location because we see a lot of orbs. We have energy drains.

We have Sasquatch. And oh, I was going to tell you, this is awesome. So recently I went out on a camp out with Barb Shoup and her group. Oh, wow. Nice. Yeah. That was so, I love Barb so much. She's so cool.

I love to talk to her someday. Yeah. So, but a couple of days before, and anybody who's familiar with Barb Shoup would know that she has some really great videos, including her fairy videos. And they're absolutely stunning. And so a couple of days before I was preparing with my friend to go on the camp out. And we were driving down Quartzville Road next to Green Peter. And we saw an owl came out and flew.

It was dusk. And an owl came out and flew right in front of the car. And at the same time, we were like, oh, we're going to see a Sasquatch. And I kick you not. Five seconds later, here comes this little bright, bright white orb kind of thing that comes down,

swoops in front of the car and then goes back up. And when it went back up, it looked like a fairy. No way. Not even kidding. It's the first time I've ever seen anything like that. And I was just like, what are the chances,

you know, like, Wow. It was amazing. That was so special. Yeah, it left us, really. It left us both speechless. And just, and knowing that, you know, in two days we're going to be on a campout with Barb Shoup, we were just like, what?

That's fantastic. This is awesome. Not to give away, like, is that in, I'm just curious, is that an Oregon or Washington? Barb's campouts? Yeah. Hers are in Washington. Okay. cool, thank you. That's fair. I can't imagine wrap. I don't know if I'd be able to wrap my mind

around seeing something that literally, I'm imagining like the Tinkerbell from Hook, like, something like that. That's exactly what it looked like to me. It looked like Tinkerball. I was like, what? I just sat back into childhood. Right, exactly. I want to go back to the orb situation and Oak Ridge for a bit. So when it was going across, was it making any noise at all? No. No, it didn't make any noise at all. Yeah. We were hearing weird owl calls, just weird because it seemed like they were all going off at once. It was really strange. But yeah, no, the orb didn't make any noise at all. Okay. Any smells out of the ordinary up there? Nothing. No, not for me. at least.

Gotcha, right. Any trees get pushed over when you were up there? Not that I'm aware of. I know that Jason had taken a group of people hiking and they were experiencing some things, some different things. And unfortunately, I just don't know what it is because we didn't connect on it. Well, that's great because that's foreshadowing because once that boy is hard to to get, it's hard to pin down because

like he's going literally all over the world now. So I'm like, Jason, I got to get you in the show so we can talk about your adventure. He's like, I'm in Scotland. I'm like, okay, all right. We can wait until you get back to Canada and then we'll try to get you. But so there's info coming,

hopefully in a future episode with Jason. But how did the attendees? Because probably most of these attendees, I'm guessing some of them is their first time out in the woods maybe. How are they? through all this. They were just, they were so happy.

They were just happy to be there and they were, um, inquisitive and they were, just, they were having a great time and they were so appreciative. They had a lot of gratitude to for us and, you know, um,

doing this for them. They had a really good, and we spent quite a bit of time out there. We were out there for a couple hours at least at the very, that is so awesome. Yeah. Um, I have nothing but immense gratitude.

whenever I'm able to be taken out into that area or Ronnie's area or really whenever a researcher takes me out into an area anywhere I go. I had immense gratitude because it's like it's so special to have that trust to be able to be taken out somewhere. So were these individuals not to get too deep into it, but were these researchers or just enthusiasts that had signed up? I would say that they were enthusiasts. There was a couple of people who actually were paranormal researchers. So Sasquatch was not their forte, but they were totally interested in it and wanted to see, you know, what it was like. And there were fans there as well, people who wanted to be there to be with us. Oh, sure, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. That's a very interesting. I never thought of what might happen if someone from that field. So were they, did they have different things they were using, different paranormal tools or just observing? Just observing. There was one gentleman that was really loaded up.

He had like a microphone and a backpack and the microphone was sticking out of the backpack. It was pretty cool. He had a really cool setup and a recorder and everything. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reconnect with him since the experience. I'd really like to know. So if you're listening, I'd really like to know. And also, I will put in a plug for myself. If any, I will say anyone who was involved with going out,

because I know there were two separate things that happened, like two different nights, I would love to talk to you, even if it's a thing where you're, don't want to come on the show, I still would like to talk to you just because it's so incredibly important that that area is documented. The Oak Ridge area is very special. I think, well, it's special to me, but also, you know, Bigfoot community. There's a lot going on. It's important that stuff is documented because there's so many different eyes on that area at that time. And someone might have noticed something that they didn't realize other people notice. And that's just how it works when you have so many people in the same situation. So please reach out to me, Bigfoot Society,

gmail.com. Reach out to Michelle. I'll have her Facebook linked to in the show notes. Is that the best way people can reach out to you? Or it's email okay to Michelle? Yeah, email is fine too. Sweet Home Sasquatch at gmail.com. Perfect. Perfect. That's fantastic. Man, I love that area. It's so, so beautiful. We almost got stuck up there once because Ronnie's car was like overheating. I was like, Dwayne, I think we started to talk about like, it's a long walk back to Oak Ridge. It is a long walk, boys.

But thankfully, we were able to get that guy rolling again. Just, just wild, wild stuff. Can you talk to me a bit about how, what was your presentation about specifically in the festival? Yeah. So I, people really want to know about my dreams. Oh, yeah. Okay, cool. Yeah.

Great. Great. It was specifically about my Sasquatch dreams. I have a dream. So I do light work and mediumship and I do it all while I'm sleeping. And I, I don't know why it happens that way. It just does. I can't. Maybe it's just because I have too much going on in my head while I'm not sleeping.

So when I'm sleeping, I just, and I, you know what, I did a sleep study too because I wanted to know what was going on. And the sleep study said that I go into my REM quicker than a normal human being would. And I come out much quicker. So whereas somebody, you know, it takes you for your whole cycle, it takes you eight hours. right, 70 hours. For me, it takes about three. Really? Yeah, isn't that crazy?

So I think that because I go in so quickly and so deeply that it just, I get to that spot where not a lot of people get to in their brain. Right. And that opens up a whole other, you know, dimension or whatever it is that I. You got more time. to play around in there. Exactly. Yeah.

Yeah. That's wild. Yeah. Yeah. I'm writing my second book is going to be about that. It's going to be less about Sasquatch and more about, you know, that kind of experience. But yeah, so it was just about my dream and it was just about my experiences up to now with Sasquatch in my sweet home area. I love it.

So the, and I apologize, we talked off camera. The medicine I'm on for my cancer treatment, it feels like it makes interviewing very interesting. It's just like pink, pink, pink, pink, ping in my head. But I just had a thought. So your experience with the orb happened. Was that on the first night, like the original Jason Kenzie Adventure night? No, I think that was on the second night. And the second night was, that was a, I don't know what you want to call it.

Like, it wasn't supposed to happen. It was impromptu. It was impromptu, yeah. Okay, because, yeah, I just talked to Priscilla. We just had an interview a few days ago. And she was like, there were so many people that were interested in it and like coming up to her and like, hey, can we do this somehow? even though we weren't and she's like, I think we can make this happen. So did, uh, I slept on the way up there and I slept on the way back.

Oh, in the car? Yeah. That's funny. So did anything, you went up both nights or just that one night? Both nights. Okay. Um, so the, did anything happen the, uh, the first night or was the weirdest thing that happened on that, that second night?

Yeah, the weirdest thing happened on the second night. sure. The first night, to be honest with you, I can't really remember very much. I know that we had split up again. So I stayed with camp. And then the everybody else or all the people that wanted to go with Jason went with Jason. They go more people want to go into the woods, you know, but for people who are not, you know, able or who don't want to. We have a group that stays up at camp. So, and for me, I think the first night, nothing, nothing that stood out. But I know that they were having experiences with Jason.

Right. So, yeah, and I'm sure he'll talk about it. He told me he's going to do a big foot society. That guy has nine lives. I was, man, I was remembering the time we took him and his buddies out for filming a documentary in 2024. And I'm out there with Steve and some others. And they just all went running out in the woods. It was like 12.30 at night.

We had no way to contact him. And we're like, I hope these guys like come back somehow. And me and Steve are like, well, it's been 45 minutes. We don't have any way to contact them. So I guess we're just going to get lucky. and we literally are driving down four service roads in that area. And all of a sudden, no joke, a group,

that whole searching for Sasquatch groups, comes running down the side of the hillside and comes out right in front of the car. Steve is driving. And we're like, well, that was really awesome and pretty intense. We almost,

like, that was pretty close, guys. Yeah. They are, Jason is one lucky dude. I swear. I love working with him. His energy is just, I have a lot of energy too, so I'm, I'm here for it. You know what I mean? And he's just constantly on the go and full of ideas and stuff like that. And I think one of the cool things about being out in Oakridge with them was that he took people out individually too. So really, that was, yeah, that was part of the second night. He took whoever, wanted to go for a walk with them, you know, out into the woods and do some, you know, for about 10 minutes each. He took each person out individually, which I thought was really just wonderful

and personable, you know. It is. Yeah. I mean, the experiences you get in Oak Ridge at this festival, I do not, nowhere even comes close. And I knew that from the first year going. into it. And I mean, it's just, it's, even if you're just sticking around and you just start talking to people in attendance, the people in attendance are good people and they get it. And you will start to just make relationships with people that will stick around for years. Yeah. They're so appreciative. There's, they, they, oh man, they're so, they're, you're right, Jeremiah. And they're just wonderful people and everybody is really connected. It's just, in conversations that happen I mean some of the things I heard from the first year are the best podcasts that were never recorded. I mean, you've got like Bill and

Bill and Ronnie talking about Bigfoot for eight hours straight one day and just like off the cuff stuff. I was like, oh man, I didn't hear any of that because I'm off literally at my booth talking to experiencers for the entire time

which was like it was the best thing I could ever ask for and like marking down stuff on a map of the area and it was so cool. I just love going there. Next year I will be there, no matter what I will be there. So we're going to make it happen for sure. Can you share a little bit about how is your, you do a monthly meetup in Sweet Home, right?

Yeah, I do. Yeah, so every, the last Saturday of every month, I do a town hall meeting at the Dam Bar, which is here in Sweet Home. from noon to two and it's 21 and over unfortunately no one under 21 is allowed in the bar. So I may or may not find another location soon because I'm getting a lot of people who are showing up. So yeah, it's just a town hall. They actually, they built a stage and gave me a microphone this year.

So I'm really excited about that. Yeah. Oh my gosh. People can come and a lot of locals. believe it or not, like Ronnie's friends, he's got a bunch of old timers here in town that he hangs out with that are old Sasquatch researchers. Really? Yeah.

So they all show up and they come and they tell their stories. The locals who have stories who are kind of, you know, a lot of people, people are really judgmental. And so a lot of the reports that I get are. told to me because they trust me and um i'm i'm someone who'll listen to them and believe them you know um so it's really great when people like that come out to the town halls because it you know it creates a sense of community and support and you know some of these people are okay with their sighting some of them get PTSD from it because they just don't know how to cope the process

Absolutely. And that's really important to remember. So that's why I love these meetings so much because all these different people come together. It's a support system for them. It really is. And that's such a great way to put it. When you're making something in this community and you're doing it the right way, it ends up being a support system, which is really what I want to think happens with,

with the podcast community over here in Bigfoot Society. But you're absolutely right. I mean, something I learned when I went out to Oak Ridge the first time is I'd never interviewed people or listened to their story face to face. And the visceral reactions you get from people when they're sharing something with you face to face and they're going back to that time period in the PTSD is something that you just cannot get when you're like over the internet.

It just does not come across. And it's just, it is, it was, I was like, this is wild. I felt so, so connected and so like emotional with these, these witnesses. I'm like, I almost didn't want them to stay in that state for too long, you know, like come back to present day and where things are okay, you know. You know, sometimes I feel like that too. But sometimes I think I'm just sitting with them and letting, letting them have, somebody to be there to help them process it. And the only way they're going to process it is to be

back in the moment. That's true. But if you can be there and if you can, you know, just put a hand on their shoulder or just, you know, hold their hand or something through it, then I think that is incredibly helpful for them. Absolutely. Absolutely. So you've got to just let them, just let them go through the motion and they'll come out of it when they're ready. Yeah, I think that's, that's great words. Do you ever have speakers at these events as well? I do. Yeah, Priscilla came out and spoke. Oh, nice. Yeah, she brought her whole, you know, her setup and everything. It was beautiful. She has beautiful tracks that she shared and posters, and it was wonderful. Jason Kenzie has spoke. I'm having in September, Sarah Brown from

Salish Sasquatch is coming out this week. Yeah, I don't have anybody. I've got a meeting this weekend. It's just going to be me. And then I haven't scheduled anybody for August yet, but I am, I'm looking for someone to come out. It's kind of hard because everybody is so far away, but they'll make the trip. They'll make the trip. I'll just tell them, I'll take them camping, you know. Right. Oh, there you go. That's cool. So, yeah, that's a question right there. What's the farthest a person has driven for one of these events? Let's see. That I know of, Washington.

Okay. Yeah, somewhere near Tacoma, I think it was. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's a trip. Yeah, it was a camping trip. We camp that night. Okay, very cool. I don't expect if they come down to, you know, to come to the meeting,

I will accommodate them the best I can. Right. And probably touch base with Michelle ahead of time, not just show up and be like, all right, we're going camp. Well, Michelle has a life too, you know, like. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, I love it when people are SVP

because then I can get an idea of how many people are going to be there and how I can accommodate them at the bar as well. Yeah, absolutely. Sometimes they only need one server. Sometimes they need three servers. It depends, you know. Oh, sure. sure. I think, you know, 20, 30, 50 years in the future, people will probably think of the

sweet home gatherings. They'll probably think of it the same way as you have the old Ray Crow Western Bigfoot Society. And like you hear about those and you're like, wow, all those people used to get together for those meetings and like just all the cool cool people back in the day. And that's kind of the same thing. That's probably what they'll talk about in the future. And Randy's stuff too. But man, Michelle is always so cool to talk to you. And I miss talking with you this year and everyone else out there in Oak Ridge, but we will definitely chat next summer as well. But I want to make sure, you know, before we are at the end of our time today, do you mind sharing a little bit about what's the best way people can reach out to you and be connected and things?

Yeah, definitely. So Sweet Home Sasquatch at gmail.com is my email address. That's a really good way to reach out to me. Believe it or not, I do a lot of social media. So the best way to reach out to me is through my personal profile, Michelle Heaton, and on Facebook through Messenger. I'm a texter. Oh, yeah. Gotcha. So then I also have the Sweet Home Sasquite. Sweet Home Sasquatch group on Facebook. The Girls Gone Squatching group on Facebook. So any one of those. Oh, and now the Strange Oregon Facebook group as well. Strange Oregon, KEPW 97.3 FM. When those episodes get out, I can't even imagine what's going to start to happen.

Oh, man. I hope you're ready for the potential. I'm excited. I've got, so I've written. So far I've written seven episodes, written as a not necessarily a script, just notes. You know, we go by the notes because we need to know what we're talking about. Yeah, you do for radio. Yeah.

We've recorded two episodes, and I'm going today to edit those. And then sometime soon we'll record some more. But, yeah, we haven't set a date yet. So I need to figure out it's going to be a week. weekly show, we're going to figure out what day of the week and what time we want to do it. So that's kind of what I'm focusing on right now. And then as soon as we get that figured out, then we'll air. Gotcha.

That's so cool. So listeners, coming out, so I'm telling you, Michelle, too, this is coming out like August 20th. And so what that means is that you need to contact, if you're interested in going to that gathering in Sweet Home, which would be on. On the 29th, I think the 29th is the last Saturday of August, you want to contact her as soon as possibly, let her know, hey, I'm coming and, you know, get on that, guys. You can check it out. So, Michelle, thank you again for coming on the show.

Always good to keep up to date with you. Let me know if you have any cool things that come up in that area and we'd love to, you know, get an update with you sometime in the future. But thank you so much for hanging out today. Yeah, thank you. I'm so grateful. I really appreciate it, Jeremiah. and take care.

While we're waiting, I can share, I can share one of the weird things I've had happened. One of the weirdest things I had happened was I was in, out in the woods in Iowa one time, and I was camping in an area that's known for Bigfoot activity between myself and some other people. And that night something was walking around my tent, 3 a.m. in the morning, and when I got up next morning there was a plastic fork with a squirrel tail through the tines on the picnic table right outside my tent very weird stuff all right hi there how are you doing good can you hear me yes i can hear you thanks for coming up feel free to share your experience there okay so it was like

two thousand and thirteen uh my buddy had a cabin we live here in tennessee um middle tennessee um middle tennessee north of Nashville. And we had, well, he had the cabin, but I stayed up there with him a lot. It was probably like a two-mile-long driveway from the road. So we're way back off in the woods, up on a hill. And one time we were sitting on the porch and we heard like a bang, bang on the back door. No way anyone was back there because, I mean, it was so far away. The driveway went through the front of the house.

into the back so nobody drove back there you know um so dj that was hit my buddy's name he went to the back door and he was like you know yelled my name you know my name's Tyson he yelled Tyson he yelled Tyson Tyson Tyson so i come running out there and uh to the back and uh he was like i got to go get my flashlight dude you ain't going to believe what i just seen he was like it was a big foot and i'm like no way you know and then he goes inside grabs his uh headlight because he He coon hunted a lot. So he had one of them big spotlights that you put on your head, you know. And he shined it out there.

And I swear, nobody believes this. But in the wood line was a freaking Bigfoot. I saw it with my own eyes. DJ took off running after the Bigfoot. I was scared. I ain't going to lie. Like, I'm like, I'm not running after that thing. So, like, I'm sitting in the woods or I'm sitting in the house surrounded by a bunch of woods while my buddy

took off running after it. So, like, finally, like, I started to adventure off into the woods to where I heard DJ, you know, and he had hound dogs that he lit out, and they were barking and going crazy and stuff. But he says he saw it again. I unfortunately never saw it because I ended up finding him. Then we were coming back to the cabin. We were walking back to the cabin. We heard the most loudest scream I've ever heard in my life. And that was the big foot story.

Yeah. That's incredible. North in Nashville, metal, Tennessee, what year again? It would have been 2013. Okay. And can you describe what you saw? Because it sounds like you actually saw something there. Yeah.

I mean, there's no way it was a human. I mean, we had like prankster friends and stuff. But like this thing was like eight foot tall, if not taller. I mean, it was it was ginormous. And it was super fast. I just, I don't see it being a human. And also, yeah. So we also started Googling on the internet, you know,

trying to figure out like have there been sightings around here. And there's like a place called Cats Gap that is about five miles from. And there had been numerous Bigfoot sightings on Cats Gap. Now I have tried to look this up, you know, within my adult life and I've never been able to find it back on Google. I'm sure it's somewhere, you know, in a search engine, cats got Bigfoot sighting in Tennessee, but we did find that there was Bigfoot sightings,

I believe in the 70s. Okay. Out here, yeah. Fascinating. Is that something you would want to see again, or how did that affect you after that? I was terrified, to be honest. I mean, I don't know. I mean, honestly, probably not.

That's how terrified I was. I was like generally scared. So he wasn't. He loved it. He loved it. He was in there. He was loving it. I love that.

Well, yeah, I mean, it can be a, it can be a experience that captivate you or it can be horrifying as well. Different things for different people. But thank you so much for coming up and for sharing what you're experiencing. Yep, yeah. Yeah. Peace out, y'all. Hey there, how are you?

I'm good. That's fine. I just, I've never had a personal experience, but there's all kinds of noise and weird stuff that happens up here. And you hear of things that happen and explain things. A lot of things happen up on this mountain. Yes, so you are familiar with the goat mountain area then? Yeah, I live on the goat and go mountain, basically. Oh, my goodness.

I'm a fun goat mountain. I'm a fun goat mountain. Do you know how much big foot? activity happens up there over the years. I've heard a lot, but I've never, never experienced it. It is like, so Estaceta, I want to say is one of the major hotspots for Bigfoot in Oregon. And Goat Mountain is like one of the major hotspots within Estaceta, I would say. Just going off of like things that have been documented.

Yeah, it's more, it's more quieter than Squaw Mountain. the other mountain up here in Estakeda. This is more active because of the people that go four by and the kids that go and have their bonfires. Up here, we have some people that go far up to the towers and the stuff, but it gets, it's pretty spooky. It's pretty spooky. You can feel it when you go. I have mushroom pickup around here, and it's spooky. So what have you experienced on a goat mountain?

Have you heard anything or anything out of the ordinary? Um, I have heard a lot of like, I don't know what he was like, I don't know how you explain it, like a screeches, um, whistles at night. Whistling is really weird up here at night, you know, high pitch whistles. It's like, you're not birds. I don't know what, how do you explain it? Um, I don't know. I'll have to take a video and record the sounds because I'm up here on Goat Mountain. I'm above F.Catada.

I don't live in town. I would love to hear that, yeah. That's wild. Have you heard of any other people experiencing anything up there? If it is lately, it's been like a cougar. The cougars have been, there's like one cougar. That's all been, but cuckers can make so many. many different noises.

Oh yeah, totally. And I'm not familiar with what big foot noises are, but there's loud studs at night, big booms at night, like where did it come from? Because I live next to basically, well, I live in the Mount Hood National Forest, basically. Right. So, but I'm right up on goat.

I mean, where I'm in goat. I'll take a video and record. That would be fantastic. I got a couple trail cams. Oh, nice. But yeah, I've heard that, you know, this is a popular Bigfoot area, but I don't know. And I've lived up here for 30 years, so. Wow.

Either, you know, you just, yeah, I mean, you just kind of let things go, just what it is up here. If you hear something, it's kind of like, oh. What is that? You mentioned squat. A lot of unexplained noises, a lot. Exactly. You mentioned Squaw Mountain. What have you heard going on over there?

Yeah. I'm not over there in that area. That's on the other side of Estikato completely. Right. For me, that's on the other side. So I, in my younger years, we used to go up there and go four by and stuff and just big things up there. But I haven't heard anything about squads. The kids go over there a lot.

It's more populated than go. boat mountain. Isn't it also called Tumala Mountain as well? Tumula? I don't know. I've never heard of that. Okay. All right. I think that's a different one. What, how about this? Just because you've lived there 30 years, your mushroom picker, all this good stuff. What is the weirdest thing you've experienced down the woods? It doesn't have to be necessarily Bigfoot related. Just the feeling of being watched always. always when you go into the woods up here it's you go if you go deep into it it's always you always get the feeling of your someone's watching you you know it's it's eerie

absolutely never had anything like strength happen to me it's always this little eerie I don't know I guess I just let it just go flow I kind of want I don't know what I would do if I ran into a big foot I have no idea you know what I would do in like, you know, let me take a picture of you. Right, yeah. That's good. Are they mean? Are you know, I don't think they're mean up here.

I don't think they're mean. I just think they're trying to live. If they are up here, I think they're doing a good job of staying, you know, to themselves. I would say so. Yeah, absolutely. Thank you for coming up and talking about living in that area. I do appreciate it. If you ever do experience anything else, my email is Bigfoot Society at gmail.com.

I'll let you know. I'd love to hear from you. Thank you. Uh-huh. Okay. All right. Hi there. How are you? I'm doing pretty good, sir. How are you doing? Hey, doing good. Feel free to share what your experience was. No, in South Carolina and upstate New York. A lot of people are like, upstate New York. A lot of people are like, New York, I'm like, yeah, you start heading up state, New York from New York City.

That's where I grew up. But you start going up by peak skill. You start getting into the woods. Derr, me and my kid brothers were scared because we knew what bears were. Because they still had bears up there. They still, we ran two miles. We have never seen a bear run after us standing on two legs. Never saw it.

And then me and my brothers, not my brother, not my, the New York incident was my biological brothers, but me and my buddies that I consider brothers. others. We were up in Maine and it was the same thing man. Something we were camping out. We were getting ready to go fishing and there was something in the woods. And like the young lady was saying earlier, like he was making weird noises. And yeah, and we heard branches tearing down. And it was not. moose it was not you know they got bears up there I've never heard a bear in my life I've been to Alaska before I've never heard a bear a moose and elk make sounds like it was making and it was tearing down stuff and we lit off literally we're smart We're not stupid.

We let off two flare guns and there was something in the shadow of the flares coming down. And we're lucky it was raining. We, you know, we respect the woods. Like we're not going to set a wood line on fire. It was pouring rain. But we lit it up and there was this. we couldn't focus on it. We looked at it because it was pouring rain.

And that thing was standing on two feet and making the weirdest sound towards our campsite. And we're like, what is that? And it definitely was not a bear. It wasn't a human. It was a pretty big-sized creature. but it was walking it was not you know scrambling on the ground or anything like that it was walking but when we let off a third flare it it kind of like just made a sound and it backed up a little and we're like we're staying up all night

and that that was not a bear or anything like it with uh i got three buddies that will testify to it it was like what is that and it yeah tore down we went in the woods the next day and we saw branches snapped and um i'm not i'm not a hunter I'm more of a photographer. I don't hunt animals. I like to take pictures of them. But I know what bear claws look like. I know what a beaver looks like.

I know what damage they can do. I know wild boars and everything. We're like, what was that that was coming towards our campsite, unless we had the flare guns? And, you know, like I said it was pouring rain out and this thing was making sounds like almost human like but it it it disturbed us and most of us me and my friends at the time were like I don't know I'm not I'm not gonna say anything

bad about people that's into owning record stores or anything like that. No, that's awesome. I love records. Uh, so I sound stupid, but no, uh, we were all built for, or we were in combat and it scared us. And we're like, what is that walking towards us? us and I guess the flares scared it off and it wasn't a bear it definitely was not a bear every one of them knew it and it was like what is that like they were literally going what coming at us and we couldn't even explain it and that was upstate New York

Carolina had another experience and then West Virginia traveling from New York to go visit my grandmother and yeah I happen to take a detour into West Virginia and I saw something cross in front of me and I'm just telling you I've never seen a bear walk walk down the road. 100 yards on two legs and disappear into the woods and actually give me a chill yeah what part of West Virginia was that in oh that was like almost 30 years ago okay uh whaling i think it's called okay um so you saw it walk a hundred yards in the road How long did you see it for it then? Oh, it ran down the road. It ran, okay. Yeah, it ran.

My headlights hit it, and it started running. And I've seen bears plenty of times. And I've never seen a bear run 200 yards down the road. I've never seen it. not on two legs I've never seen you know like yogi the bear hey boo boo let's let's run down the road this thing ran down the road on two legs and I was like is that a bear what is that and that thing kept running and then it just dove off into the woods while on two legs it didn't dropped down or anything it just ran off into the woods yeah that's that is fascinating you

so your situation that happened in new york upstate new york where you're out with your buddies and there was one that chased you can can you provide any more details about about how that happened or or what exactly happened yeah no it didn't chase us we were up there gonna just camp out and everything. It didn't chase us. But I don't know if we had food out or what. But it came out of the woods and it was hollering. And that's when we were like,

I defensive positions. And the thing, I don't know. a bear I put it a bear doesn't care what you got on you you know what I'm saying right

yeah a bear will be like I'm sorry I'm I'm gonna come get your food and stuff this thing realized and it wasn't a bear this thing realized we

outmanned it. It had intelligence or something and it just went back into the woods and it was like I and we could hear it. It was like pissed off. It was like hey

I can smell you guys cooking or something. I don't know what it was, but it, it screamed and not screamed. That's the worst part. People think like, oh, it must be like a coyote screamer. Now, this was almost human, not human language, but this was like, it was trying to say, hey, just share me or, or Give me something. I don't know what it was. And neither did my buddies to this day. They're like, they're like, that dude, when I say that dude, that creature was something else. And we've never seen it. We have never seen it. Wow. Combat feels like we could maybe have a conversation another day as well. But I want to say thank you so much for, for coming up and sharing a bit of what you experience. No problem, sir.

I'm just telling you like facts as I can tell them. And thank you for your service, sir. Thank you so much. No, no, no. I thank people like you because it's why I serve. I look at it like this. If we don't keep free thinking thought, the way you're doing,

then why would I put on a uniform, man? No, there's no reason for it. I believe in America, and not the, I'm not going to get into politics. I'm not going to talk about POTUS right now, but I believe that America is still founded. on free thinking individuals like you,

and that's awesome. And that got no problem with that. Absolutely, absolutely. But I'll let you go. A pleasure chat with it. Hopefully you can hang out in the chat for a little bit, but we'll talk later, sir. Hey, Titan, how are you?

Good. How are you? Hey, doing well. Feel free to share what your experience was, Titan. Well, I have my own. channel and everything, but I'm not going to, I'm not going to go into that. But if you want, it's up to you. No. No.

Okay. All right. But I've had multiple, multiple interactions with Sasquatch. And even had an incident where me and my brother-in-law, he just discharged a firearm, you know, trying to get him away from us. I mean, it was really bad. But we found what started the whole thing was we found footprints across a property we had and they were huge. And, you know, we couldn't figure out what they were.

They were like, we thought maybe two deer ran in the same tracks, you know, or, you know, some, something, because they were huge. And they, and we couldn't figure it out. And so we thought, well, that's weird. And then we started doing some homework and we started, you know, hiking and searching. And we found these bones that had been broken, femur bones of like elk, okay? And they were fresh. Nobody can break a fresh elk femur and suck out the marrow. I mean, unless they have a tool.

And these were fresh. help broken femurs. And we're like, well, this is not normal. And from that point, we started the search. And we went into that same area again, and we got charged. That's the only thing I can say is that we were rushed. Okay. And he shot at it.

He didn't shoot at it. He shot up to scared away, but it wasn't good. We've never been back to that area. Can you share anything about the region this happened in? I know, I know sometimes locations are touchy subjects, but. No, I mean, Sierra Nevada's. Okay. Sure.

And how recent was this? about five years ago. Okay, got it. And it's been, I never believed in Bigfoot before that, never. I always thought it was a joke because I was a hunter, you know, and we never saw that kind of stuff. And it was, it was mind-changing. And, you know, that's what kind of caused me to think,

hey, you know, this isn't something that happens every day. 100% Was there something What were the main things that you noticed When it was charging at you that made you think Okay, this is something This is probably a big foot rather than like an elk Or a bear or something like that.

Well, I could see it from the waist up And it was running at me I knew it was no elk And the screaming was no elk and yeah it was it was no elk i mean i've heard everything mountain lion elk deer you name it i've heard it all yeah it was nothing that i've ever heard before can you describe what you saw from the waist up then i saw huge legs and they were extremely wide thick legs coming at us and I didn't have a gun and so I had the camera you know I'm filming it and I fall

down and my brother-in-law he starts shooting he went shooting at it because he didn't he didn't know what it was for sure so he was shooting up to get you know to run away and it did go but it was it was I've never been back to that that area ever Fascinating. Did it have an emotion to its face as it was coming towards you? I never saw its face. Oh, okay. So you're saying, sorry, it's more you saw from the waist down or the waist up? Waste down. No. I know. That's totally different. Okay. Gotcha. Interesting. Wow, you saw these massive legs, so. Okay. So you mentioned, so you have, are you guys actively researching this? You mentioned you have like a channel or something like that? I mean, I've got footage of faces and all kinds of stuff, but that's not why I'm calling.

I got it. Sure. You know, it's just, that was my introduction to this whole thing. Because before that, I always hunted, fished, everything else, you know, in remote areas, never had problems. And this was the first. I was building a cabin. This is how it started, because I was pulling a cabin. And we came across these tracks in the winter that made no sense.

They were like huge tracks across the property. And I just thought, well, maybe it was a mountain line chasing a deer, you know, or something like that. But, you know, it wasn't, you know. We couldn't figure it out. So from that point, that's when we started looking around. started finding things we shouldn't have found, I guess. What were the things you feel like you shouldn't have found that you found? Well, I mean, when you find an elk femur bone,

it's got it. It's been brown. It's been broken. And there's no, it's not like an axe or a knife or anything broke it. And they sucked out the marrow. That's not normal. you can't break the femur bone without an axe. No human would, anyway.

And we saw that and we're like, okay, that's not normal. And that was the same area where this all happened. And then from there, we just, we've kind of stayed away from it. I still have never gone back. So to the cabin area? No, I have my cabin, but I've never gone back to that area. It wasn't here. I don't know if it was a rush or a bluff charge, whatever it was.

It was a long ways from here. But I've never gone back. Are you guys then talking to other people in the area and finding other people that have had similar experiences? or anything like that? Yeah. Yeah, there was a guy that posted a note in a town close to here that said, beware. There's something huge that's lurking around the cattle.

And I mean, they won't say Bigfoot, but that's what it is, you know. Yeah, it's here. That's interesting. Was that just in a gas station or like on Facebook? Or where was that? Yeah, it was in a gas station. gas station post. Oh, no way.

Yeah. Really? Yeah. Whoa. People started breaking out, you know. That is some wild stuff, dude. And I know the guy, I wouldn't talk to him. And he's, he just, he won't come up here with me. I asked him, I'm like, hey, come on up. Let's go, let's go look where you saw that. No, I ain't going to go.

I mean, don't, don't give up. It could take years for him to get to that point, you know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I've had footage. I've got footage of a Sasquatch leaning back and forth looking at me from 20 yards away, you know. And it was difficult, you know. Is that on a, is that public? It's a YouTube channel. I'm not going to say anything about that. But yeah, yeah, it's real. You know, and it was difficult. I didn't know what to do because I thought it was stupid.

I thought, yeah, that's, you know, I didn't notice at the time until it started weaving. And then I just didn't know what to do. And then I just kind of walked away. But that, and there's, you know, there's other things. I mean, there's, I've been doing it for 10 years. And, oh, crap. It's not just Oregon. I'm just telling you.

The Southwest is it? No, it's not. You know? I mean, a high desert. They're there. They're everywhere. And they're not stupid. But they're not aggressive either, I don't think.

At least to me. You know, I felt worse. You know, I felt worse predation by mountain lines. I've seen them stalking them. Okay. But nothing like that. Have you talked to anyone from First Nations background in the area to get their thoughts about what's going on? I have.

You have? Okay. That's awesome. Very good. They told me to stop. Really? Oh, so why did they tell you to stop? That's very interesting.

They just told me, they just told me it's not a good idea. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, the only place I ever felt, you know, fear was the first place I went. Other than that, I've never, I've never had fear, ever, you know. But that one place was just not good that you could feel it before anything happened. Something wasn't right.

And have we not had a gun? I don't know. I mean, we didn't shoot anything. But have we not had a gun to shoot off, you know, scared off? I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, it makes you wonder. But, Man, Titan, I'm following you.

a national park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, if you're a pilot who's seen something strange, down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI, a federal agency, or working intelligence, and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about, and if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder, who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense. If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field or trucker with government contracts and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul, and if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report, if you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat
