Bigfoot Society - We Couldn't Escape It.

Episode Date: April 29, 2024

Our first interview is with Cathy from Montana, who shares multiple incidents involving strange and frightening occurrences around her home and while out in the wilderness. She describes events such ...as encountering a massive, unidentified creature running beside her car, witnessing bizarre behavior in wildlife, and unusual patterns of animal disappearances which suggest the presence of an unknown large predator. Cathy's experiences span over several years and various locations across Montana, encountering oddities that defy logical explanation and leave her questioning what lurks in the hidden corners of the wild. The second interviewee, David, discusses his 2019 camping trip in Oregon, where he and his companions experienced odd noises, unexplained eyeshine, and a horrific roar that led them to abandon their campsite. David also hints at a childhood experience involving something attempting to enter his family's trailer, promising to share more in a future conversation.Just a reminder that every Saturday night at 8:30 pm CST there is a live call in show where you can call in and share your Bigfoot Encounter Live on Youtube, Facebook and Instagram which is also recorded for the podcast.

And now let's get on with the show.
Starting point is 00:02:14 All right, Bigfoot Society, we've got the privilege of talking to Kathy tonight. Kathy is a listener and she contacted me regarding some things that have happened to her over the years. going to go ahead and give it right over to Kathy, but thank you so much for sharing tonight, Kathy. You're very welcome, Jeremiah. I appreciate you having a platform that allows somebody like me who's never talked about this to actually have the opportunity to say something and, you know, just kind of validate what I went through, you know, so thank you. I appreciate it. Absolutely. I feel it's very, very important to be able to give people a platform where they feel validated, safe to speak about things without feeling like they're going
Starting point is 00:03:03 to get ridiculed. So, Kathy, thank you so much for agreeing to come on. I'll go ahead and let you take it from here. Okay. Well, I guess the first thing to say is I was born and raised in Montana. 43 years of my life, I spent from east to west, north to south, literally 400 miles as the pro flies east to west and 300 north to south. I've been all across Montana living in different places, working in different places. And kind of early in my life, I ended up in a little tiny town called Pony, and that's at the base of holotop mountain in the tobacco root mountains. Okay. This is in middle of nowhere, 80-some people was the actual amount of people that lived in that town. So I was there in about 98 or 99, okay? And I
Starting point is 00:03:55 traveled the same road back and forth to both of my jobs there every, every single day, except for one day a week, basically. And just one of these drives, I just noticed this huge, monstrous bull moose had come down into the coolly right by this road because it runs by this creek that feeds the whole coolly. So that stays green all year long, whether there's no water anywhere else. That spot's got water. and green. So he showed up there. And so I just started paying attention because the guy kept being there and kept being there. And so one night I got home from work and the other half was at the house and I said, hey, that moves, it's not dark yet and that moose is right out there.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Let's go take a look. I'll show you because he wanted to see him. So we jump in a Pontiac car and go driving down the road and it's getting like half dark. You know, you could see shapes and stuff, but you couldn't really see a lot of definition. So we went down there and we're looking for him and could not see this moose. And I had just passed him like 20 minutes earlier. And he was just gone. And so I was like, well, maybe tomorrow I'll see him on the way. And the next day on the way to work, I saw horns is what I saw.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Actually, I slowed down and I was really looking. And all I saw was like these horns kind of popped up from the, grass. I went, oh, no, somebody shot that moose. That's the first thing I thought is somebody had poached that moose and just shot it. And anyway, I went to work and I felt awful, but I went back home, told the other half again, you know, I know what happened to that moose. Somebody probably shot it, and he was rather upset about that. So we get in the car again and go down there. And this is when this happened. It was the weirdest thing because there was a road, a little, just an access road, off of the one that we were on. So we pulled in there, had the lights on the car on,
Starting point is 00:06:00 and he kind of swung it down into that coolly so that the lights would go down to where I was trying to show him where it was at. And we saw the horns again, you know, sticking up out of the grass. And I said, you know, I'm sure somebody probably shot that moose. And so we were just kind of sitting there. And on the, I had the, we had all the windows down because it was the middle of summer. And we're just sitting there. I started hearing something on the right hand side of me coming up that coolly in that grass. And I'm like, well, there's something down here. So we don't want to walk up on a moot. I'm not on a bear, you know, did not want to walk up on a bear or something that was down there eating that moose. So he backed the car back out
Starting point is 00:06:41 into the highway. And I looked over out the window and there was this brown thing coming up the side of the hill. And I went, oh, it's a dog. And I'm, because I saw it, it would look short. Because it was just brown hair. And I'm like, oh, it's a dog. And he's like, oh, okay. And I said, no, it's not a dog. It's a cow because it kept coming up the hill and it was getting bigger. And I could see this brown. And a second later, this horrible stench just destroyed our car. It was the most disgusting smell. I've ever smelled. And I said, It is a bear because I knew that a grizzly would do that roll in the garbage that they're eating. And so I said it is a bear and he took off.
Starting point is 00:07:31 This thing was not a bear because it was running beside our car. I could have reached out and touched it and I'm looking at legs. Now that was the craziest thing. And I'm looking at these brownish gray legs and brown hair. and it was beside us and I could see pads of feet. I could see this like brownish tan. It looked like leather brown feet, bottoms. I could, I see these flashes as it was running.
Starting point is 00:08:02 And I told him, go faster. I was just basically panicked at that point because I'm seeing just legs beside me. And I'm just, I'm not focusing on anything else except for this thing could grab me right now. We're right next to each other. And so he just took off as fast as that car would go. And we basically, on the drive home, we're kind of too much shock.
Starting point is 00:08:27 And I was shaking like a leaf. I was literally jello inside. And I just looked at him and I said, did you see that? You know, because I wasn't sure if he had seen what I had seen. And he said, I don't want to talk about it. And he said, did you see that? Did you see what I was looking at? And he said, I don't want to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:08:50 And Jeremiah, I thought about this for a long time. I really did. And I'm like, why will he not talk to me about this? But I've a long time getting to really know somebody. He was a bully. Honestly, I'm not going to talk. I don't want me to talk bad about anybody. But I need the backstory here for his reaction.
Starting point is 00:09:14 And I finally figured it out. he's always a belligerent and a bully you know he was the big man and he always got his way or the highway and that night was the only night i've ever seen him show fear i never saw him show fear at any other point in time and this man was burned from head to toe he went through terrible things and he just gritted his teeth and bared it but he was scared to death that night and I think that's why he would never talk to me because that was the only time he ever showed me absolute fear of something he wasn't the big man in the woods and so that was the first time something strange happened
Starting point is 00:10:01 and that was over in the Tobacco Rout Mountains and that was like three, four years later we moved to another town north of Paradise Valley and hunted in the Gallatin and Custer National Forest We went to the Absalokas. We were all over the place. Custer and sweetgrass, all down through there.
Starting point is 00:10:23 And we actually took a hunting trip one day south of Livingston on the west side of the highway. And that's the Custer National Forest area there. And you can go out there and hunt elk. So that's what we were doing. I had a 30 out six. He had a 270. And we just went out there and we're walking, parked the vehicle. and we're walking. It was the middle of the day. We're walking out there. And I was about 50 yards
Starting point is 00:10:52 behind my ex-husband, my husband at the time. I kept a little distance because if he saw something, he would basically just freeze and then I would freeze, you know, and that's how he wanted it. And so I was about 50 yards behind him, just trailing him. And I kept hearing something behind me. And I kept saying, there's somebody or something out here behind me. Because every time you stop and I stop, I hear something, then it stops. And then we go. And I said, this is really unnerving. I don't want to be this far away.
Starting point is 00:11:25 And he got annoyed with me, but he said, okay, so we kind of get together down into these bottoms. You know, you got the mountains up at the top, but then at the bottom, they're pretty clear. They're grassy areas, easy to get through and walk through. And so I kept hearing that. And I said, why don't you go, you know, behind me for a minute? And you might hear this. And so we just kept walking. And he said, yeah, I hear something, but I'm not sure what it is.
Starting point is 00:11:55 But it did not sound like an animal. It just did not sound like an animal. It was just weird. And as we're going along, all of a sudden, the brush to the right of us just exploded. and this huge cow moose came running just out of those freaking bushes and right in front of us and just kept on going. That thing acted like we did not even exist. And that was when I said, okay, I'm very uncomfortable with this situation. I don't care what gun you have.
Starting point is 00:12:33 There's something happening here because she didn't even look at us. So something bigger than us is after her. You know, that's my logic. I'm logical and rational. I'm thinking if that thing ain't even looking at us and being worried about it, there's something worse coming up the hill. And I just get that horrible, sick feeling like something very bad is about to happen here. But we turned around, we turned around because I did actually tell them I'm not going any further.
Starting point is 00:13:00 I'm not going to do that anymore. I'm not going to walk into a bear. And that's what I kept thinking of myself. It's got to be a bear. I always blame it on bears, first and foremost. But that did not sound like a bear that Moose just didn't seem like, you know, she even cared that we existed. And she just went right past us. But the one weird thing, Jeremiah, I was going to tell you about Pony.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Those are the two different places anyway. I had these weird experiences. But the one thing about Pony is where we lived, we lived right at the base of Holotop. And so our neighbors had a house beside us they rented and then their house. On the back of their houses, they had huge motion sensor floodlights, okay, on the back of these houses that were beside us, the two besides us. And they had a four and a half foot picket fence around their house. And so at night when I was by myself, the lights would just flash on. I'd go look at it, you know, oh, there's some deer or there's the dog outside or whatever.
Starting point is 00:14:05 But occasionally, you would go out there to the window and look, and the deer would be screaming through that field and right into their yard where those lights would come on. And then keep on going. And just a split second later, you'd see a big cat chasing them right through the yard. Those mountain lines up there would come right through the yards after those deer. And you'd see the big four and a half foot tail flipping above the fence and you knew it wasn't the dog out there. so you stayed in the house for a while. But that was just a, honestly, in the wintertime, that was almost a normal occurrence. Those deer to run right down that creek right to the backyards in those big lighted, you know, big lit up places.
Starting point is 00:14:50 And sometimes you'd see something chase them. Sometimes you wouldn't. But sometimes those deer would come down there so fast and nothing would follow them into the light. And they would sit there in that yard and you could. see them shaking. I mean, you could see these deer quivering, but they didn't run like they did when the mountain lions were behind them. They kept going. But occasionally these deer would come down there and get into those yards, those two yards, and they wouldn't move. They'd just sit there shaking and nothing come into the light. And those are the questions that I have was something
Starting point is 00:15:29 out there that knew I'm not walking into those lights. I'll chase a deer, but I'm not walking into those lights because the cats didn't care. You see what I'm saying? They didn't care about a light. They were chasing that deer down. So just weird stuff like that happened up there. The moose, we had another moose, it was a cow moose. When she would drop her twins, she had twins three years in a row up there. And when she would drop her twins, she would do it right there in that field with those lights. That's where she would raise those two twins right there in the back. by the creek where those huge lights were on all night because every time she moved it turned on. So that's another thing that I questioned too, was that most understanding that as long as they're
Starting point is 00:16:15 here, they're safe? You know, that also made me wonder that there's something out there that's enormous, that's three times as tall as a normal Pontiac car, at least. I mean, because all I saw was legs and feet. What if you could get more from what you already do? As a Shell Fuel Rewards member, that's just a regular Saturday.

Starting point is 00:19:07 And so, you know, that's really my experience is. a couple of the things i have questions about like were they responding to something out there that i didn't even i didn't have to believe myself at the time you know what i mean but that's that's really what happened is seeing it right by the car that was the that was the big thing for me is actually i could have reached out and touched it at the time but thank goodness it didn't touch me you know that is an incredible account it's just it's very man i don't even know how i would handle it were the windows down in the car 100% really so it was all four oh my goodness so you're in this now you're saying a pontiac car was it it's a bonneville it's a bonneville so that was like a 1990 bonneville
Starting point is 00:20:00 okay which is lower to the ground right yes okay but you had the windows down oh man Yeah, it's Montana in the middle of summer. You're going to have the windows down. You don't run the AC. Yeah, that makes total sense. So you had mentioned that you could see the legs, the pads of the feet. Did you notice any other part in addition? I don't know if I heard anything.
Starting point is 00:20:37 That's, I'm, makes me. me wonder because I thought it was like I could say I was my brain was triggering what could this be and it was just getting bigger and so my brain was going bigger and bigger and when I thought it was like a cow beside us I thought I heard like a cow huffing when a cow runs they will huff you know they labor and so I thought that's why I thought it was a cow because it was like shorter two three inch brownish hair and I think I heard it huffing and that's why I thought at first oh that's got to be a cow but then it kept coming up the side of the cooley right to our I mean he was headed right to us that was the
Starting point is 00:21:20 problem is that my brain was not working fast enough to go what is one of my looking at until I was just looking at legs right and then like I say I could see the feet pads and it was just these enormous enormous legs I didn't see any arms hands I don't know if you had him up or what but i just there's not much else i this smell was the worst part this smell made me literally i was gagging i was gagging it was so bad and it stayed in that car it lingered with the windows down 80 miles an hour it was horrid so you saw it come up the banks of the coolie to the car you you said that you're you weren't really thinking of what was going on at the time, but do you remember, like, looking at the creature at that time, like looking at its face
Starting point is 00:22:14 or anything like that? No, there wasn't any. It was coming up sideways. So all I was basically seeing was, I believe, I think I was seeing, like, head, shoulders coming up or something as it was coming up the side. But it was coming, like, what do you call it, like at a 35, 45 degree angle coming up that hill as we were turning around and trying and getting ready to go. So it was coming up at an angle almost kind of beside behind me.
Starting point is 00:22:43 So when I'm looking, I'm seeing just this brown stuff to my right as it's coming up there. And that's what got me is we kind of crested together. Basically, it got to the top of there at the same time that we had turned around. So he basically turned around and put me right beside this thing. When he turned to the left to go back, he put me right beside it. And that's when I'm looking out directly beside me right at the mirror with this thing beside us running. That's my biggest, when I saw it the most, is right there at the mirror when it was running beside us. At any point, did you get a feeling for how tall it was?
Starting point is 00:23:27 Like I say, it had to be what, at least three times the size of that car. And when I got out of the car, I'm a short person, okay? So let's say four feet, three feet, three and a half four feet. It was enormous. Like all I saw was legs like right above the knee down. Literally I could see the knee movement. But that's as it was right there is what I was looking out of that window like at three and a half feet. So eight, nine feet probably, I would say something like that.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Yeah. Wow. Did you ever go back to look at that area after the. this had happened. Did you go back the next day or just you were staying away from that area? I had to drive past it every single day to go to work. I didn't have a choice. That was the crazy part is I would literally for a long time, I would just pray, please just get me past that spot. Please just get me past that spot. You know what? That's what I'm, and that's stupid because that thing could be anywhere or everywhere. Seriously, it could be long gone. But in my brain, I was like,
Starting point is 00:24:35 just get me past that spot. That's all I care about. I don't want to break down there. No. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah, definitely. I mean, to have to probably relive that over and over in your mind daily on the way to work, that would be not a fun time for sure.
Starting point is 00:24:56 That area that you lived in, was it a thing where people would ever talk about Bigfoot ever? Well, they would talk about their cows missing. Yeah, because there was a couple really big Black Angus ranches right there in that valley. Pony was kind of up in the mountain and all that entire valley, all the way down to basically Innes is nothing but cattle. Cattle land, raising lands, things of that nature. And they would talk about that were cows disappearing when they have them down in the valley. They would actually just, you know, go out one day, feed the cows. next day feed the cows.
Starting point is 00:25:34 And then they're like, wait a minute, where's that, where's that cow? Where's 415 or where's 291? You know what I mean? And they were just gone. And so they did talk about that a lot. And they, I don't know if any of them had their own encounters at any time. But those cattle ranchers are closed mouth about their land. They don't talk about much of anything down there, you know.
Starting point is 00:25:59 They don't want to talk about wolves. They don't want to talk about bears. They don't want to talk about anything because if somebody goes after their cattle, the three S's. You know what that is, right? That's kind of how that works. Three yeses. I don't, sorry. Shoot, shovel, and shut up.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Okay, got you. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's how that works. So that's why I say they're kind of tight-lipped around there because that's just the law of
Starting point is 00:26:27 land. So I'm sure they would not want to discuss anything like that that somebody might want to protect. seriously it's just how it is with land so I don't know going off of what you've experienced you know some brief interactions have you ever thought to yourself had to work through like what you think these might actually be I would say that they're they're an animal honestly they're just an animal I don't think that they're demons I don't think that they're nephalum I don't think there are any of that. I think they're animals, plain and simple. Logic and reason tells us the simplest answer is usually the correct answer, correct? Is that not right?
Starting point is 00:27:17 Sure, yep, yep. That is a logical thing, yeah. Yeah, so I really do. I think they're just animals. Yes, I do believe they're intelligent. I mean, I know that animals are intelligent. I absolutely know that they can figure stuff out. They probably can mimic us and talk, and they probably have their own communication and their own words and things of that nature. That's fine. I mean, have you seen a murder of crows? One of them learns something. Everybody learns it because they sit around and they chatter it.
Starting point is 00:27:49 You know, so they just start learning this stuff. I don't think they're stupid animals. I think they're extremely intelligent animals, but I do believe they're still animals. Being a person that's lived in Montana for so long, I've talked to a few people from Montana, and there's some really interesting things that happen up there. I'm just curious if it's anything you've ever heard. Have you ever heard of people finding like grizzly bears that have had their next broken in Montana ever? You have.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Yes. Paradise Valley. Yes, Paradise Valley. They actually, I kind of know I had it in at the time down there with somebody that was involved with that stuff. but they were actually finding these grizzlies dead. And the Park Service, the Rangers, they knew about it because that's kind of where the line came from, where the information came from, was through that. I used to do some other stuff law enforcement-wise for quite a few years there in Montana, and that's where they were, that came from.
Starting point is 00:28:53 But directly from the Park Service, yeah, they're finding dead Grizzlies in Paradise Valley. And they're finding dead campers up in Custer National Forest. They're finding, like, people on one side of a mountain ridge and their entire packs and shoes and everything else. 17, 18 miles away on another side of the mountain. I don't know if anybody's ever talked to you about those, but that's something that actually happens here. And they don't know why these people are dead in one spot and all their stuff is somewhere else. If they, you know, and they're just dead. I believe that was called out in, that's a missing 4-1-1 thing with David Politey's, I think.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Yeah, he's done the documentary. Yeah, he's done that. Yeah, that's right. And that's not a lie. That is the absolute truth. Like I said, I had some ins with these places. And that is the truth. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:29:51 And I, first time I read it, I was like, there's got to be a logical explanation. There's no logical explanation for finding that. you know there's no logic these people knew what they were doing out there they were well prepared it's not like it was the first time they went on a hike you know something happened to these people it's i remember looking into that myself and it just it does not make sense at all going back to the the grizzlies do you say that so they were found they were found dead but you said their necks were broken as well not only their necks were broken, but they were, actually, their bodies were mangled. They weren't just
Starting point is 00:30:36 somebody broke their neck and let them lay there. They were mangled bears. And that's what the problem was, because they're like, a wolf pack is potentially capable of doing this, you know, absolutely capable. If the pack goes after a bear, it's possible. Okay. So we're in the realm of possibility, but who's going to mangle that body and not eat it? That's the thing. If the wolves are going to take the time and energy to kill a bear, they're going to eat it because they've wasted all their energy killing it. You know what I mean? Absolutely. Can you just, you said the bodies were found mangled. Can you, and not to get too crazy, but can you describe like what that exactly means?
Starting point is 00:31:25 That they were just broken, like they're not, they were legs broken. They were mangled, like twisted backs and all kinds, just mangled like they had been manhandled to the point of death, just manhandled to the point of, they're just mangled and left there. And that's what I say. If they were, if they were killed by another natural predator, that predator doesn't take all of that time and energy to take. kill something like that unless they're going to eat it.
Starting point is 00:31:56 That's just natural selection, you know. The energy they spend, they have to get a reserve again. They've got to eat it. And you're saying that it was just left there. They're just left there, yes. And they have the pictures of them. That's the thing. I don't know why people are so tight-lipped about this business.
Starting point is 00:32:20 You know, if that's happening down, in the bear tooth in Absorca wilderness that's a playground for millions of people every year you know what I mean and your thoughts what could break the neck of a grizzly bear on the very edge of the realm of possibilities okay this is all I'm going to say on the very edge of the realm of possibilities I have seen bull elk and bull moose that could probably do that if they absolutely had to in some weird way with their horns. That's the only thing that would be big enough and strong enough to even attempt to do something like that. There is nothing else out there. That's why I said the wolves are not going to do that. Wills are
Starting point is 00:33:14 not going to do that. They can't. They don't have hands. There is no other option. And I'm sorry, but that's the truth. There are big, big, big animals out there. That's I think that that's what's happening. I really do. I think that that's what's happening. I think they're being killed by Bigfoot. End of story. There's no other logical explanation.
Starting point is 00:33:39 So I'll tell you. It's something that's come up at random times over the last few years. There's been interviews where I talked to a gentleman in Oregon, where he found a black bear that was pretty much mangled by Bigfoot. There was a hunter that was mangled by Bigfoot in northern Alabama in a similar way. It's wild when you start to connect pieces from different parts of the country like that. So I was talking to a gentleman a while ago named Ken Medsker. He's a Bigfoot researcher in Montana. Have you ever heard anything where there could be connections between missing 411 cases and Bigfoot?
Starting point is 00:34:25 But besides, you know, we did already talk about the one person that was found on the side of the mountain. Did you have any thoughts about that? Oh, absolutely. Because once I started connecting the dots, myself, other things that I was listening to and reading and seeing were just like absolutely mind blowing to me.

Thinking that, oh my gosh, this possibly could be one of the biggest shocks to people out there. It really could. It could be one of the biggest things that ever happens is them finding out that these people that go out here, they're not just disappearing. They're not just walking off the trail for no dang reason.
Starting point is 00:37:39 These people, something's happening to them. End of story. And if that's what it is, then that's what it is. We need to start, like I say, I'm based in logic and reality, you know, and that's the most logical explanation for any of it. But actually seeing something like that and putting all these little pieces together that I didn't understand at the time, it does point me in only one direction. really does. These people are coming in contact with something like that out there, and they're getting the short end of the stick.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Absolutely. Over the years, have you ever heard of any other strange things that have been happening in the Paradise Valley area? Well, there was only one other thing that happened and was extremely tragic. But this was over in the eastern side of the state. It was the middle of winter. probably 2008, something like that, 2009. We had a gentleman that we knew he took off to go hunting on his four-wheeler. He had his four-wheeler all packed up because he was headed out. He was going to stay out. And he disappeared. And later on, once the ice kind of broke, they found him attached to his four-wheeler.
Starting point is 00:39:05 in the river. And they were like, what would make somebody who knows this place who was born and raised here, who has hunted here their whole life, what would make somebody veer off course and drive over a river they know is not frozen? He absolutely knew that was not frozen. And it makes me think, what would scare someone that bad that they would lose all, all thoughts of safety and drive onto a river they know is not frozen
Starting point is 00:39:41 and his boot got stuck on the bottom peg on his four-wheeler and it killed that man. He went down with his four-wheeler. Now, I don't know what else would make you that afraid
Starting point is 00:39:57 you know. Absolutely. That's something I've always questioned. Why would a person do that that is so intelligent, so good at being outdoors. Why would he do that? The missing 401 events, it's not something that I've looked a lot into, but the things that I have looked into,
Starting point is 00:40:24 it does not make sense, and it's just a very scary thing that it does happen. Then maybe I'll start to hear more about different things as well. Right. If you had the ability or you could make the decision to, would you choose to have an interaction or see a Bigfoot creature again? Or is it something that you would rather not take part in? No, I'm kind of an odd duck, Jeremiah. I don't really get...
Starting point is 00:41:06 once I think about something and get it in the right place in my head, once I get it straightened out in my head, I'm pretty logical and really level, honestly. I was a 911 operator for several years, and everybody told me that was the best job I ever did and got, because when crap is happening, I don't panic, okay? I'm not the panicker. I'm the person that'll stand there and watch it happen
Starting point is 00:41:33 and take note of everything that happens. I'm not a panicker. So after I thought about it, I really did. I started listening to stuff and really research and stuff more. And I thought, you know, to me, I think it would be, I think it would be crazy. But, you know, I think I would. I want to know this. I really do.
Starting point is 00:41:56 I want to be 100% sure. I don't like that question mark in my head for so many years that I could never talk to anybody about. Because I always did think, these people will think I'm nuts. They're going to put me up in the looney bin if I say anything about this. But I do. I really do think it scared the crap out of me at the time. But after I thought about it, I would actually not mind seeing one from a distance, down in a coolie, like I say, or across the mountain, you know, down in the valley while I'm up here on the side. I think it would be really interesting to actually see a full figure the whole thing and know what it was.
Starting point is 00:42:41 You know what I mean? Instead of have these questions. Absolutely. It would be very interesting. You know, I haven't had that opportunity yet, but it would be very interesting to be able to actually have visual for sure. Since you brought it up, I do have a question and you can choose whether to answer it or not, of course. But during your time working 911, did you ever receive any calls of people that had seen a Bigfoot? No, I just received calls of the people on the reservation disappearing because I worked in an area that also covered two reservations.
Starting point is 00:43:23 And there was, there's always a lot of disappearances there. And sometimes they would find the people's bodies in the river. sometimes they would never find them at all sometimes they would find them on the side of a road those were the weird ones because there really didn't seem to be any real explanation for what happened to these people they just disappeared and sometimes they were found
Starting point is 00:43:49 and sometimes they weren't and that was about it wow that would be definitely I think what does take a special type of person to be able to take calls for that. And it sounded like you were definitely well equipped to do that. Well, I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:44:10 That's really been most of my entire life. That's been my way I earned my living, you know, as things like that. And so I'm, I was hesitant to say anything at first, but then I thought, you know, I'm just going to, I'm just going to talk about it. And then I'm going to put it to rest. And I'm in Arkansas now. in Arkansas I did not have any idea
Starting point is 00:44:36 about all the sightings here so now I'm like oh man did I go from the frying pan into the fire or what well Kathy you may have depending on where you are if you're in northwestern Arkansas you did
Starting point is 00:44:52 I did and that's unfortunate oh my goodness yeah I mean I get so many reports and people talking to me about northwest Arkansas Buffalo River and then you've got like because that's close to Wachita
Starting point is 00:45:09 National Forest Southeast Oklahoma I mean that whole area is just wild with Bigfoot yeah yeah I live right in the middle of the National Forest and by Lake Reeson so that it's X marks
Starting point is 00:45:27 the spot basically Jeremy oh so in the Washatah's Yeah, you're there. Yeah. Wow. That's the thing. Yeah, is this whole place, man, holy moly. Yeah, this place I won't go anywhere at night I'm not familiar with.
Starting point is 00:45:44 And I'm seriously because I don't want that by myself. I don't ever want to have that interaction by myself. I don't. So I'm pretty picky about where I go here, you know. It seems like in that area that subject would come up. pretty easily. Has that ever come up in conversation with other people down there? I've got a couple guys that do a bunch of fishing all over the place. They've actually had little stories that they told me about somebody bothering them, and I'm not going to say
Starting point is 00:46:16 anything to these people. I work with these people. And the last thing I want them to do, like I say, I think I'm a nut job or something. So they have these interesting stories about their boat going, what do you call it, when you're, when you're, more your boat basically, right? When you go up and land your boat, that they would camp out, do their fishing camp out, and get up in the morning, and somebody had moored the boat, and it's gone.
Starting point is 00:46:43 And they're like, who could do that? You know, why would someone do that? And who could do that? And just little things like that, but they've never said anything about seeing anything or hearing anything. If you wanted to look more into it, you're in the right area, for sure.
Starting point is 00:47:02 I mean. That's exactly. how I feel. And, you know, honestly, I'm becoming more and more and more curious over time. And I think it's because of just all of the information that's out there. I just actually voraciously, you know, go through information over time. And I just listen to everything I can and read all of this stuff. But I really do believe, honestly, this is an animal. You know, people put so much behind it and everything and sometimes yeah weird crap can happen around them absolutely i'm not disclaiming discounting anybody's stories i don't know anything about this this is just my opinion is that they're
Starting point is 00:47:45 they're animals you know and and they're out there and people should just be aware you know that that that's a potential something could happen you know just be careful i i would really hope it you know in our lifetime hopefully we get the the the final answer, you know, whether that's a, that's some specimen or something's captured, it would be great if we could get some final answer, but we will see. Right. Yeah. It'll come around.
Starting point is 00:48:18 Eventually it'll come around. That's all there is to it. The only thing that needs to happen is there actually needs to be a concerted effort between all these different groups. Seriously, people need to say, okay, put all differences aside. we're going to blanket this entire area, whichever area it may be that has the most sightings or that. Just blanket the entire area with so many people and so many trail cams and just do that. You know, come together.
Starting point is 00:48:47 That's the only thing I see when I listen to all this stuff. Everybody's doing their own little thing. And that's awesome. But if you really want to make an impact, work together. Make it happen because boots on the ground is what is going to find. this. That's what's going to find this. No, I agree. I mean, first off, focus on, you know, whether it's a certain area in southeast, Oklahoma, or maybe Pacific Northwest. But yeah, just make it like almost a search
Starting point is 00:49:16 and rescue, but, you know, kind of different. Get everyone and, but you got to have the manpower behind it. And I don't know. I get you. Yeah. It always comes back to if the government's involved. or not, that's what it seems to come back to in these chats, but I'm not too sure about that one. Well, that's kind of why I think that way, because that's, you know, part of the job that I did was also support for search and rescue, ambulance, fire, you know, all of that. And that's exactly how I feel. You take the map out. You grid your map. You put these people here at this grid,
Starting point is 00:49:59 these people here at this great. You know, that's exactly what my mind went to, Jeremiah, honestly, is more blank search and rescue because how do you find a little girl in the middle of nowhere,
Starting point is 00:50:11 Custer County, Montana, that's nothing but flat plains and dry scrub brush and all of this stuff. You know, a little girl went missing out there. It took us three and a half days
Starting point is 00:50:25 to find her. She was less than a mile away from home. Oh, wow. People getting on four-wheelers and horses and walking that area after three days that found her. That's how you do it. You know. Absolutely. Man.
Starting point is 00:50:42 Yeah, something to think about. And it would be an interesting conversation to start having in the community, I think. Kathy, it's been a really enlightening conversation. And thank you for finally sharing publicly what you've experienced over the years. I wish you the best down in Arkansas. Hopefully, well, unless you want it to, hopefully things are pretty calm down there for you. Yeah, that's what I'm crossing my fingers about too, Jeremiah.
Starting point is 00:51:14 It's just don't freak me out too bad, okay? Exactly, yeah. Yeah, no doubt. For allowing me, honestly, for allowing me to just get all of this stuff off of my chest and say, this is what happened. Okay, now I can put it. to bed. That's what I needed seriously. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Oh, I appreciate that a lot. Thank you, Kathy. You're welcome. You have a wonderful evening. It's been a pleasure. Take good care of yourself, okay? Unknown call. Let's go. To accept, press one. To send a voicemail, press two. Hey, is this David?
Starting point is 00:52:02 It is. Is this David Blalick? It is. Did I say that right, David? Yeah. You did. Play like. Ah, play.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Okay, very good. Hey, thanks for calling. You've already filled out the form, right? I did, yeah. That's right.

Starting point is 00:55:06 We're going to wait it out here. Okay, we can hear. Perfect. We're ready to rock. Well, David, I know we will. We were planning on chat and eventually, but I'm glad you called in. I'm going to let you go ahead and have the floor and share what you would like to, and I might have some questions. And also, guys, in the comments, if you've got questions, go ahead and throw those in the comments, all caps, please. And I'll put those in, too, potentially.
Starting point is 00:55:41 So, David, go right ahead, sir. All right, thank you, Jeremiah. So my name is David Blaylock and I grew up in Northern California, very near where the Patterson Gimlin film was filmed. And 20 years ago, me and my wife moved here to Hughes Bay, Oregon, which is Southwest Oregon. And we've hunted elk and deer and bear and everything camped and done all the hiking and stuff like that. And for like 15 years, we never had any experiences or anything that would lead you to think
Starting point is 00:56:18 something was going on until 2019. And in 2019, two days before the end of August elk season started for both season for elk, me and my wife and my sister, she followed us up there. We had our truck with a camper, overhead camper on a. her truck and she my sister followed us up in her car and she had her two little dogs I mean my wife had our little minpin dog and we drove up and it takes about an hour and a half to get there you're like 14 miles up a dirt road a gravel road and parts of its dirt and it's really a thick area rainforest a lot of moss on the trees and you really don't see the ground it's all just brush
Starting point is 00:57:10 and ground cover under the trees and stuff and big old growth trees. So 2019, I think it was August 26th when we got up there. And we showed up, the camp spot. My sister had never been there before. And like I said, me and my wife had hunted this area for like 14 years straight, camped in a tent for the whole month and never had anything strange happen
Starting point is 00:57:36 or anything. But this trip, we got up. there two days before the elk season started and because we wanted to do some scouting and stuff and set up camp and i had a trail camera up there that i had set up for two months had it up there two months before we got there and so we got there that evening kind of started getting camp set up and i ran and got my trail camera right before dark and came back and we checked it out and there was a bunch of elk and deer and stuff like that on there but nothing you know nothing else and about 10 o'clock that first night where me and my wife was kind of making noise do some stuff and my sister was standing there on
Starting point is 00:58:15 the road and it was like 10 o'clock at night like I said it got dark maybe a half hour or something before that and my sister just like well I guess we got company and I kind of looked at her I'm like what do you mean she goes well somebody just made like a bang noise sound like a tree knock but it was a bang up on the ridge up there and I'm like where did it come from and she pointed and I was like sister there is nobody up there. There is no roads. There's no trails. It's just like a steep, thick hillside, like a mountainside. And they'll have cruise logging companies will have crews come through. After they like log an area, they'll replant these trees. And then after about 10 or 15 years, they'll send crews in there and they'll cut down certain ones to kind of thin it. And they just
Starting point is 00:59:04 leave those ones that cut down just laying there. So I mean, it's like a thicket. Can you already walk through it. And so when she said that, I was like, well, I'm just telling you right now, there's nobody camping up there. And she goes, well, I don't know what that was. And so I'll make like a long story short, shorter, I suppose. And each day we had stuff like a dump sound like they were being ripped apart, knocking sounds all around us. And sometimes you'd hear like a knock and then like something was running through the brush, like a knock, and you could kind of hear it run off. And each time I was like, you know, trying to write everything off,
Starting point is 00:59:47 like, well, it could have been elk, could have been deer, could have been bear. And the knocking could be like elk crashing antlers because it's about the time they start their rut and stuff. I was trying to write everything off as normal sounds you'd hear in the woods. But in the back of my mind, you know, I suspected it was. wasn't normal sounds that you'd hear in the woods. And so it was the second or third day of hunting season. So it'd been like the fifth day we were up there.
Starting point is 01:00:22 My sister rode with us and we drove up this road and we were going to go on this one hunt. But while we're driving up there, we see a herd of elk. And those elk instead of just being like scattered like a herd would be, they were all like growled in like a circle all. really tight. They were kind of just walking around each other, like real tight circle. And I thought that was kind of strange. But there was a nice bull in there. And the bull ended up just kind of separating and going, like walking off by himself. So me and my wife get out of the rig and we're both hunting. And my sister stayed in the truck with the dogs. And I mean,
Starting point is 01:00:59 I just shut the truck off and we just, me and my wife got out and started making our hunt, like walking around to get the wind right and stuff and circling around so we can make the stock onto that bowl. And while we were walking down, we couldn't hear it because we're down in the brush. And I mean, like I said, the brushes over your head. So you're just kind of, kind of sneak through the brush, but it's like, kind of rubbing on your head and on your body stuff. So you couldn't really hear what's going on around you. Well, my sister said, as soon as we left the road and gone into the brush, you heard three distinctive knocks, one from like one side of the elk, one from the other side, and one from like a triangulation. They were like from three
Starting point is 01:01:40 different areas. And while directly after she heard that, she saw, she saw us walking into the brush and she said right behind us coming the same direction that we had went, she saw a black, hairy figure. And she didn't say what it was, but just a dark black figure was was walking the same trail that we had walked and like behind us and so we'd made our hunt and everything and we just we spooked the elk ended up and they all ran off so we went back to the truck after about an hour or something and my sister was like did you guys hear those knocks and we're like no she guys did you guys see what was behind you and we're like no and she goes she goes brother sister i'm telling you there was something walking behind you guys following you into those elk and she goes
Starting point is 01:02:32 whatever it was, it was black and it had, like, had hair on it. It wasn't like bald or brown or anything. It was hairy. And we're like, oh, okay. And we've all three had experiences before this. I'm just telling you guys this experience. And so about the sixth night, I think it was after that, we were sitting around our camp spot, which was just on the side of this gravel road.
Starting point is 01:03:01 There wasn't any other, we saw like one or two vehicles up to this point, like a week into it. Just a couple vehicles driving by and we're way up in there. But we're just camped on side of this gravel road on a pullout. So my sister smoked cigarettes and each time she would get up, I would step up. So let me back a little bit. Every night before this, we would have our lantern. I had a shotgun because not for anything but like bears or Mount lions or whatever, just for protection. I'd have my shotgun leaning against our camper and we'd have a fire gun.
Starting point is 01:03:31 flashlight in our lantern burning and, you know, just sit out there and just talk and camp before we go to bed. And so this night, we only had a mosquito candle burning, like one of those centronella mosquito candles. And so it was like really dark. I didn't have my gun or my flashlight out. I just had this little cheap headlamp on. And I had it on a green setting. So when you turn it on, it was green and it didn't light everything up very well but you could see eye shine really well and so every time my sister would you know step up into the gravel getting out away from me and my wife so the smoke wouldn't go on our face she would light her sick and i would just stand up and and this is like 10 o'clock at night again and so i stood up and shine my light you know just to make
Starting point is 01:04:21 sure there was no animals or no bears around or whatever and so this time she got up and so i got up with her We walked out into the road and I switched on my light and she was lighten her cigarette. And I looked directly across the road because that was the closest trees. And then I looked to my right down the road and didn't see nothing. Turn to my left and glow on behold, here's this eye shine. And when I walked over and looked to the left, I had walked about 10 feet away from my sister. I was just checking our surroundings. And I was like, oh, we got eye shine like that.
Starting point is 01:04:56 And my sister's like, oh, serious? And she walked over and she saw the eyes. And my wife was still sitting beside our camper in her camp chair. And these eyeballs were like a foot apart. And if I had to guess the size of them, each eye was like the size of a golf ball, I guess or something. But there was like the shine around it. And they were, I had my light on green. So I don't know if it was that.
Starting point is 01:05:25 but they were like an electric yellow, an electric yellowish green reflection in the eye shine. And they were really close to the ground, like a couple feet off the ground, but really far apart. And so she's like, my sister, my sister's like, seriously? And she walked up and saw them. And she was like, just like hyperventilated. And she went walking back to her car really fast and shut her dogs in the car. They were already in the car, but she rolled up the windows in her car, so they wouldn't jump out. And my wife had our dog.
Starting point is 01:06:01 And my sister, and I'm just locked on to this thing. And it's not blinking. It's not looking away. It's just sitting there. Look, staring right at me. And I couldn't see what I was looking at, but you could just see like the blackish shadow of it, but you couldn't make out of shape. You could just see that there was a body attached to the eyeball. And so my sister walks back up after she locked her car, and I'm still just staring at it.
Starting point is 01:06:31 And it's literally about 30 yards from me maybe. And it's right on the edge of the road, the gravel road that we're on. But there's like a drop off, and then it's like a flat off down off that drop off. And so my mind was thinking it was either a bear or an elk, just like a quick thought. It was like it's a bear or an elk. but my mind was also saying it doesn't look right because their eyeballs are little they have little beady eyes and they're kind of close together and elk can have big eyeballs and they're kind of spread apart but the eyes were like a foot or two off the ground which would mean an elk would basically have to have its head on the ground for eyes to be down there and it didn't make no sense
Starting point is 01:07:14 and so my sister walked back up saw it again and just like and freaked out and finally i was like i was like babe i need my flashlight my gun right now because I'm at this point I'm still thinking it's a bear that's what I'm kind of thinking and so my wife I hear get up out of her chair and go into our camper and I can hear like dook-to-do-do and she was getting the flashlight and the shotgun and I'm still just standing there I'm not moving my head and it's not moving and we're just locked on each other and my wife I can hear her come out of the camper and she's walking up to my left and and she goes here you go babe and literally she bumped my left arm and I turned just for, I mean, literally half second, grabbed the flashlight and the shock and it turned.
Starting point is 01:07:59 And whatever it was was already gone. Literally half a second without a sound. And this place is thick rainforest stuff. I mean, just like thick brush. Somehow this thing was off the road and gone in a half a second at the most. And so I was like, where'd it go, where'd it go? And my sister and my wife's like, I don't know, I don't know. So I was shining my flashlight around the road, you know, down the road and on each side of the
Starting point is 01:08:26 road and it was gone. So I kind of walked towards it and was shining down through the trees is the best I could and nothing was there. And I was like, you guys want me to just, because I'm still thinking there at this point, but I was like, you guys want me just shoot a warning shot just to make sure you don't come back. And they're both like, yeah, go ahead. So I just put my shotgun up in the air and just, you know, shot a shot. off. And we stayed up for like an hour or something talking about it and nothing happened that night. And so the next morning, instead of going hunting at daylight, I got up and walked down the road just to look where it was. And it had been, whatever it was was directly behind this kind of rotted stump.
Starting point is 01:09:07 And you could see on the hard pack gravel, you could see like scut marks, like it pushed itself back off the road over that bank. Like if it, and my assumption was it, whatever it was, was laying with its body down off the road, down that little bank, and its upper body was on the edge of the road looking at us around that stone.

The scuff marks were about five feet behind that stump. And so we discussed it and everything and thought that was really weird. So I'll just fast forward to like day nine of our hunt. Was everything was normal.
Starting point is 01:12:18 I mean, each day something was going on. We could hear stuff. It never saw anything and never had anything weird. Well, night of the ninth, about, 930 as it's starting to get dark, you start hearing this owl going, you know, just a classic like barred owl. And my sister was getting her drinking on me and my wife did drink or nothing. So we were just sitting there listening and my sister was calling back and forth this owl. And I was like, he said, do you want me to call? She's like, yeah, go ahead. And so I would do the
Starting point is 01:12:50 who, who, you know, call and the out me and the owl was talking back and forth for like a half hour. And my sister has this recorded on her phone. And I, you know, I. I even joked about, hey, Cindy, it's like on Jurassic Park where the owls keeping our attention over here while the other thing's sneaking up behind us. And we laughed and stuff about it. So about 10 o'clock, 10.30 at night, we're getting ready to go to bed. And my wife was wanting to take our little dog to the bathroom before we got in the camper. So she started walking the dog around on the leash and stuff.
Starting point is 01:13:22 And our dog was like nervous and wouldn't go, wouldn't go, when go. So I walked over there and like, you know, peanut, go to the bathroom. Peanut, go poop, pee, and she just wouldn't, wouldn't, wouldn't. And so my sister was sitting over there by our camp or still calling back and forth to Owl recording it. And in my wife, Didi, she was like, I think Cindy's calling is making our dog nervous. So I said, hey, Cindy, can you stop calling for a minute? So peanut can go to the bathroom. So she's like, okay, well, she stops recording on her phone, of course.
Starting point is 01:13:53 and, you know, it's quiet for a second. Our dog still wouldn't go. So I picked up our dog and we were walking over to my sister. And right when I get to my sister, we hear the owl go off again. So we all stop and I'm holding our dog and we're all looking up across that flat as a creek. And then it goes up this steep, old growth, trees, um, freed ridge. And that was behind our camp. And so the owl was coming right across that flat, right in those trees.
Starting point is 01:14:23 like 100 yards away or something like that. But this time when it called, it did like, whoo, and it kind of went down into like this angry sound, like an angry owl. And immediately to the left of that, it did like a coyote yip, like a coyote yip.
Starting point is 01:14:43 And then left of that, this roar that, I mean, freight trains and air horns and anything lion, like African lions, if you've heard them at the zoo, that roar they do. Roe, that was nothing compared to the volume and the depth and the, I don't know how to explain it.
Starting point is 01:15:07 It shook your chest. It was so loud. And you can hear the trees ringing like, and then it was like dead quiet. And I just looked up and I don't cuss very often, but I was like, what the F was that? And my sister and my wife were all just standing there like, our jaws just gaped open because it went from this angry owl to a coyote yip to this roar. And I was like, we need to go right now. So I literally grabbed my shotgun and my flashlight and stood there shining the direction it came from while my wife went and got her purse and our medicine bag and all that stuff like our essentials.
Starting point is 01:15:48 And my sister was loading whatever she had outside of camp, just throwing it into her car. And we literally left our camper up there. for a week and we just just beat feet down the road and we had to drive past that area so I told my wife to drive and when we're going by this is like I said about 1030 at night I had my window down with my shotgun out the window and my flashlight shine in the direction just in case it was charging us as we were leaving we didn't know you know what was going to happen so we ended up leaving our camper up there for a week and a week later we went up there and I had trail cameras around our camper just because I had them around there.
Starting point is 01:16:29 And we didn't get anything on trail cameras or not. And our camper was fine. I didn't see any fingerprints or handprints on the windows or anything like that. Everything was normal. But we picked up our camper a week later. And we've never camped at that spot since. We've camped up in those woods, but never in that same spot. So that's kind of my 2019 story.
Starting point is 01:16:54 who david that's man that that that is wild i don't think i've talked to anyone else from that area yet but i just want to say real quick we've got about a hundred people watching live and i just want to say thanks to everyone watching live this is the bigfoot encounters live show at bigfoot society and read that what's scrolling at the bottom if you've got an encounter to call in with but david man what an interesting and i was going to ask you about the pattern, if there's a pattern to the knocks, but you already had mentioned that you were hearing like three, that's a common thread I've heard come up in a few encounters, like you usually hear three knocks. So that's really interesting that you did bring that up where it was almost like the triangulation of the knocks going on as well. Did your sister tell you how far away or how far behind the figure was behind you guys when you left? there's that black figure that was that was following you she said it literally like when we when she lost sight of us we were probably i would say you know two or three hundred yards away
Starting point is 01:18:07 from the truck when we entered into the brush to kind of make our sneak and she said she could see us you know like parts of us every now and then kind of going through the brush yeah and as soon as she lost sight of us she said from where she could see us going into the brush like something immediately was falling right behind us. Like right behind us. I don't know how close, but yeah, like literally. And so I kind of suspect this is just speculation that the reason why those elk were all in a bunch like that was maybe they were hunting those same elk.
Starting point is 01:18:41 Yeah. That's just my thought. Wow. That's, yeah. I mean, that's, that is wild. The part with the eye shine was very interesting. There's a few back and forth comments that were interesting. Tate had some, you know, he was like, well, maybe a mountain line. And, you know, I was thinking that too, but I, you know, I was also thinking that you had mentioned that the eyes were very big and they were super, you know, far apart. And but I was like, well, he said it was only a few feet off the ground. So then I'm thinking, well, maybe we're looking at some sort of like spider crawl or on all four's situation, which might explain how you could have. the eyes so far apart, but yet so close to the ground.
Starting point is 01:19:25 It's a very interesting situation. So I don't know if you have any thoughts about that. Well, I do. And I thought, and my son was the first one to suggest, you know, here we call them Cougars, but they're Mount Lion. He thought that. And I was like, well, you know, it's possible. But look at a cat.
Starting point is 01:19:42 Look at a cat. Their eyes are not, they're not that huge. They're, you know, pretty good size around. But they're not that far apart. And the weird thing is, okay, that could be an explanation, but explain to me how it knew when I turned and grab the shock in and the flashlight, how at that instant, that is when it was gone. You know, that kind of was, I suspected that was kind of weird, which I suppose if you unlock eyes, that might be when they move. I mean, I could get that too. But the thing, Jeremiah, about it was that this was, like I said, the gravel road.
Starting point is 01:20:16 and then where it was was right on the lip where it dropped down like about 10 feet like the bank dropped down like 10 feet and then there was a flat and it could have been like a spider crawler down in that on all fours or it could have been just laying with its body off the road and its upper body was on the road on the edge of the road whatever it was it scuffed hard at gravel you can see like three distinct scuff mark were like pushed itself back. That's so interesting. And I mean, you guys had some weird stuff going on there.
Starting point is 01:20:55 And it's cool that you guys were out there for not just two or three nights. I mean, you're out there for what did you say, at least nine days and then you had it out? Yeah, that night night we had it out. Me and my wife went camping the next weekend, but in a whole different spot. And I literally, I mean, I've never been, I'm not afraid of any animals. but literally I was in like cold sweat trying to go to sleep the first night back out camping.
Starting point is 01:21:21 I was like, just leave me alone just leave me alone. That's what I was thinking. Right. Oh, that's wild. Let's see. Let's see here. Looking through to see if we have any questions
Starting point is 01:21:32 for you here. Oh, Tate is asking, have you ever been to the Patterson Gimlin film site at all? I have not. I've been, I've been, I haven't done the actual hiking. No. I've been to Willow Creek over and over and over. Oh, okay, cool.
Starting point is 01:21:50 I've got a, oh, yeah, can't, okay, can squash says, what about David's experience of something trying to get into his family's trailer when he was a kid? Yeah, that's a whole other long story. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. I could give a short version of it, or I can wait, we can wait until I do the actual thing with you, if you want, or whichever you want. So I would say that maybe, maybe.
Starting point is 01:22:16 let's do a part too because i want to make sure that you can do all the details and and give it you know you give it all you need to so let's let's maybe hold let's wait until you come on the show which i know is coming up so it will i got story and i got another one where it's basically where i felt like i grew up which is in weaverville california and trinity county california and that that one is a whole nether a whole nether experience so David I'm I'm excited to chat with you on the show how are you do you go to any festivals in Oregon there's one coming up that I probably will go to it's over I think over by Oak Ridge or something like that I'll see you there yeah or nice there you go I think I'll be at that and
Starting point is 01:23:10 we go we've been to the Bigfoot Museum with Brackman, his museum, I've been there. But really, that's about it. Cool. At this point. We're going to LBL, though. Oh, you're going all the way out to LBL? Yeah, we're going.
Starting point is 01:23:26 When? We're going to be there. We're going to arrive in Nashville on a third, and then we're going to have to go out to the LBL on the fourth, and then we're coming back on the eight. Just by yourself, or you going out with a group? me and my wife are going there and there's a whole huge group. Oh, is it the thing that Squash and Hollers was talking about in the comments?
