All right, Bigfoot Society, we've got the privilege of talking to Mr. Mark Paul. I talked to Mark way back in episode 256. This is back, I think, in May of 2023. Mark's an individual from down in Clay County, Tennessee. He's been having a lot of interesting things happen on his property all the way since
Starting point is 00:02:35 1996. So, Mark, I'm glad to have you back on, and I'm going to give it right over to you, sir. It's a privilege, Jeremiah, to have the opportunity to come back on and talk about what's been going on around here. To give the listeners a little background, it all started in 1996, and we would have something and tremendously, you know, big hit the side of the house. And we bought a mobile home new when I bought this place. And it would come and like whatever couple of weeks,
Starting point is 00:03:10 we just, you know, really slap the house really hard. And I would make up excuses, you know. My wife would say, what was that? You know, and I'd say, oh, that was a deer run into the house or that was an owl that flew into the side of the house. make up excuses because I actually thought that's what it was. I never into Bigfoot, never, I'd only heard a Bigfoot one time back in 1974 around this area where a girl had said that she was babysitting for a husband and wife
Starting point is 00:03:43 that went out on the town and for one night and went to a movie and she was babysitting their kids and said she was in the living room and looked at the living room window and there was what she described as a caveman looking in the window at her. And so fast forward to just went on, you know, nothing else, nothing else, you know, drastic, no sounds, no, nothing else but house flaps went on until December of 2022. And I had just quit working and had semi-retired at the time. and so I was always gone working, you know, out of town. And so I never was here much, you know, for quite a few years.
Starting point is 00:04:34 And so in December of 2022, we noticed our dogs started doing a lot of barking. Every dog around here started barking. And so this thing wouldn't show itself. We knew it was wouldn't a couch or anything like that. But we still didn't know it was anything like a big foot. because we never saw it. And so then, you know, I started doing some research and I ran into your channel, Jeremiah,
Starting point is 00:05:02 and that's when I started to find out, you know, but listening to all these other people, yeah, the house slaps, the, you know, other things going on. And so the action really started to pick up, and, you know, with other things happening. And then we started hearing the screams. And I think these creatures were, wanting us to know that they were here.
Starting point is 00:05:26 I think they were wanting to teach them just to let us know. And so we did. We finally found out what it was. And I started seeing them from time to time last spring. First, you know, you told me to go look for footprints. And I've always been a hunter. I don't hunt anymore, but I've always been an avid hunter back in the day. I was an army for almost 12 years in the tank corps.
Starting point is 00:05:51 And I've always been outdoorsmen and fishermen. and, you know, going back after me and you talked, going back in my mind, I've had a lot of encounters in the past, but during the time that things were walking around our camp, me and other friends would go fishing and hunting, and we'd always have something walking around our camp, but we never heard it make any noise, just tree snaps and, you know, heavy footsteps. I never heard nothing scream or anything.
Starting point is 00:06:18 And we still at that time, you know, 10 years ago, 15, 20 years ago, we didn't know what it was. And we just knew it wouldn't anything that we were, you know, black palis and poxies and stuff of that nature. We just, you know, never really gave it much thought after that night that it happened. So anyway, yeah, going back in my mind, I've had a lot of encounters all through my life, but I'd never seen one. And, okay, so we started seeing all kinds of signs that they leave. Like I said, by getting on your show, it's where I really figured out what was going on around here.
Starting point is 00:06:56 The bend over trees, you know, the numerous, numerous, probably 50, 60 photos that I've sent you, the footprints in the snow, the leaps, you know. Back this winter, anyway, going back, it's when I figured out that, you know, that what was causing this, the trees started noticing. I started paying attention, Jeremiah, to what was being said on your show.
Starting point is 00:07:21 And so I took that knowledge, and I started looking around to see if I could see these signs that people had been talking about. And sure enough, I started seeing a lot of signs. First, it was footprints. Then it was bent over trees. And, uh, and, uh, uh, oh, yeah, the bones. Something left, uh, that one of these big boots left a cow bone in my backyard last spring.
Starting point is 00:07:47 And you know what? I don't think that's a cow bone. I think it's a hip bone from a big foot because it is huge, Jeremiah. I just, with everything in me, I do not believe. I've had a year to think about it because it's got an X and a Y scratched on it, a big foot, and how I know it's a big foot is my girlfriend's seen one, so we know that that's what's going on here. She's seen one face-to-face, but I'll get to that in a minute.
Starting point is 00:08:14 This is the way out here more than the yard, and I know it's the big old bone, the hip bone. I thought it was a bone from a cow. The hip bone is the biggest bone in a cow. If that's what it is, I really don't know. But the more I thought about it, and I got to looking at it, he had an X scratched on it and a Y, like a forked stick scratched on it. And I got to thinking about that, and I believe that's what it is. I believe it's a hip bone from a big foot because fast forward a little bit.
Starting point is 00:08:42 you know, we started, my girlfriend saw one 30 yards away, 10 o'clock at the morning, you know, face to face, basically. And I'll get into that in a minute, but start seeing all of the, you know, I got so much to tell. And I'm kind of jumping back and forth because, you know, I could talk all night about the stuff that's happened around here. Well, they started throwing stuff at her house. You know, that had never happened before, only the slaps.
Starting point is 00:09:11 So I start throwing small nuts, hickernuts and stuff like that and small rocks. If we tried staying up after 11 o'clock at night, they start throwing stuff on our house to let us know it's time for us to go to bed. Now, I'll tell you something, Jeremiah, these things, we own the day, but I'm going to tell you something, day on the night. And when it gets dark around here, you can go anywhere in my neighborhood, and you'll see Christmas lights stretched up in people's yards, and you won't see anybody in my neighborhood out after dark. if you do, they're coming out of their vehicle going straight into the house. And so, getting back to that hip bone,
Starting point is 00:09:48 you know, those pictures I sent you, you know, I started finding the forked limbs hanging everywhere about head high and all of the trees around here. I started finding I found one forked limb that was four foot tall over in my orchard. And so I guess the first, the really first scare I had from one
Starting point is 00:10:08 is I come out the first thing, front door last June. And I got an orchard here next to my house about 50 yards away. And I heard something take out of that orchard, and it sounded like, it sounded like an elephant running off from my orchard. I have never in my life heard nothing that size. And that's how I know it was a big foot, because there's nothing else that big that can make us a noise like that running off.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Jeremiah, this thing had to have been a giant because when it left out of my orchard, I mean, it literally secured me to death. I never heard anything even close to that. Like I said, it sounded like an elephant on TV. Well, then, like I said, started finding all these forked limbs and four-foot forks standing up over there in my orchard.
Starting point is 00:11:00 And they was, I think they were doing this to see if I was paying attention. You know, like I said, they'd hang them about head high. and so time went on okay and then i started finding and so then in july um this is uh while i was talking to you you know i was asking for your prayers and stuff and for everybody to pray for us our house was being hit basically every night of hour for two or three months well it finally come to a head and one night i come in here and we read the bible a lot and a lot and we pray a lot every day I have all my life, you know, very close to the Lord. I always have been.
Starting point is 00:11:43 I told him a girlfriend I was going to read some Bible to her before we went to bed. And I sat down at the kitchen table and I hadn't read more than two sentences out of the Bible. And I didn't see it, do it, but I know what it was. A big foot ripped out our kitchen window. and through it on the ground. And that's the most terrified, Jeremiah, that I've ever been in my entire life. My girlfriend said I was white as a sheet of paper. I immediately jumped up from the table.
Starting point is 00:12:21 And I heard its claw marks scratching on the side of the house before the window coming. I jumped up and ran there in the closet and got me a shotgun. And I went outside on the front deck, and I said, I am going to. to blow the head off of the first one I see. I said, if I see one of the years, I'm going to blow your head off. And so I pranced around after I'm on the deck for a while and I come back in the house, prancing around, making sure that they could see me. I was making sure they could see me with that gun.
Starting point is 00:12:53 I held that gun up in the air right in the window and did that all night. My girlfriend, she went on to bed a couple hours later, shaking to the core. and I just decided I was going to stay up all night because I figured that was going to try to come in the house but they didn't. And I tell you what, every sense that I scolded them really hard and I rebuked them in the name of Jesus Christ
Starting point is 00:13:15 and from that time on, we've not heard a whimper out of them much. They've not touched the house with a stone, a slout. They've really quieted down. But now they still come out every night. We see them every night. single night. There are different colored ones. There's some here that's red
Starting point is 00:13:36 or like an orange, not red, but an orange-reddish color. There's some that is solid black and we have a few that are cream colored. They look like French vanilla ice cream. That sort of you know,
Starting point is 00:13:53 that sort of color. They love showing us their little ones. They'll hold their little ones up and they'll see them. I take pictures. I've took some many pictures, Jeremiah. I've got over 700 pictures and probably 35 videos. But these creatures, they're very smart, but we found out that they don't mean us any harm. You know, they, ever since that night, they ripped the wind out and I threatened them.
Starting point is 00:14:17 They've really, whichever one done that must have got a pretty good scolding because we've not, we've not heard anything much out of them, but now we come in at dark. and I got a story to tell you Can my girlfriend tell you a little short story right quick? So I'm fine with that as long as she As long as she does a guest release after this? Yeah, I'll tell it to you then, Jeremiah. Okay, sounds great.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Thank you. I'll tell it to you. Okay. At 3 o'clock in the morning, she got up to go outside to get her glasses. She was going. She forgot them in the car. was going to read the Bible.
Starting point is 00:15:02 And she went out there at 3 o'clock in the morning to get her glasses, and they was in the glove box of our Honda. And so he goes out, and it's cold back in the winter. It's been about three months ago. She goes out and gets in the car and turns the inside light on. She shuts the door. She opens up the glove box, okay, gets the glasses out. And then when she turns the light off again,
Starting point is 00:15:25 a big foot was standing. She said it was about my height, about six foot tall. She said a six-foot tall big foot was standing right next to the car. She had to have been hunkered down, you know. She had to have been on all fours because she didn't see it until it jumped up. Well, when she turned the light off in the car to come back in the house, it jumped up and jumped clean over the top of our grill out in the front yard. We got a smoker out there.
Starting point is 00:15:52 And she said it cleared that grill like it wouldn't even there and run off. And she told me the next morning. Sheared her to death. And so, like I said, we see them every night. And we see them out here up in, and our dogs, we see them up until daylight, too. And they leave our neighbor. Call me about two months ago. It ain't hardly been two months ago.
Starting point is 00:16:21 She called me. She said, Mark, she said, something woke me up this morning at 2 o'clock, beating on trees. She said something was banging on these trees out here in the backyard. And she said, if it had done that for 15 minutes. And she said, she couldn't, you know, grass pit for a few minutes. She said her dogs came in the house and would not go back outside. If data management is slowing down your business, you need the Intuit ERP.

Starting point is 00:17:48 It's said everything happens for a reason, but maybe everything happens for a reases. Take noise-canceling headphones. Do they block hearing to heightened taste? Hmm. That sound seems to show. Everything happens for a recess. Yeah, and it hurt one of her dog's hip. This is last year that it hurt her a big German shepherd attack dog. It hurt her dog last summer. It heard his hip real bad. And anyway, about the wood knock. And she said he did wood knocks for at least 15 minutes. And they was not only beaten on one tree, but various trees at the same time. and she called me the next morning about 9 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Like I said, it's been probably six, seven, eight weeks ago and told me all about it, you know. And she says she's here's about there in her backyard every night. She said she's been seeing a few across the road right after dark coming over here to us. They like our company for some reason, though. They like to watch us in the house, you know. They sleep by our bedroom window. They haven't lately, but they slept next to our bedroom window for, probably about three months back in the winter.
Starting point is 00:18:59 My girlfriend said that soon as that she'd, they'd hear me snoring. Soon as I got to sleep and they heard me snoring, she'd see the eyeshine come through our bedroom window. And she'd see, we've got a light out here, a night light, a street light, if you will. And she said she'd see the dark shadow come up
Starting point is 00:19:19 and see eyeshine and everything. And I'd go out of the next morning and look, and sure enough, one is laid there all night right by the bedroom. window. But now they don't do much until I go to sleep, and that's when they, I mean, yeah, we see them standing around and the little ones running around, but they, they, but they, they've stopped that.
Starting point is 00:19:38 They've not done it since springtime come. They did that back in the winter, like I said, for probably about three months. They'd be a big old bed land our next door, right next to our bedroom window. And I mean, we know that they're not going to harm us, but we don't think they're going to. They ain't yet. I don't believe they will. but they just like it here for some reason another. You know, they was here before I was,
Starting point is 00:20:00 and so they, ever since that night they ripped the window out, they've been friendly. One pushed my front door. I got a 30-foot deck on the front, got it screened in. And I sit in here, I have to have my phone up in the window, and that's why they come around here. I think of a night, is that like watching me on the phone? Because, you know, 18 miles from a store in any direction,
Starting point is 00:20:25 here in Clay County, a little close to the Cumberland River. It's two miles away. Pretty good size river. And like I said, I've got all kinds of pictures. I've went down there, and I know where a bunch of them
Starting point is 00:20:39 stay down there on the river, too. Seems like anywhere there's water you'll find these creatures. Oh, yeah. This happened two days ago. My girlfriend, we've been out mushroom hunting. That picture I sent you today.
Starting point is 00:20:54 We found 40. day. Two days ago, we was out behind the house, and of course, I heard them wood knocking today, too. My girlfriend was with me, and she stopped and looked down in the hall of the direction they normally come from, where all the sign is, bowed over trees, and I keep a salt lick down there too. And as soon as she said, I love you guys, that much more hadn't come out of her mouth here my, and we heard four wood knocks.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Bam, bam, bam, bam. And then today, I basically hear wood knocks every time I go in the woods here lately since I started hunting. I've been hunting mushrooms maybe about a week. Every single time I get in the woods behind the house, I hear wood knocks. Not many, though. But I don't really pay any attention. I don't know if you can never get used to the situation that we live in. I mean, there is a certain fear factor knowing these things are right outside the window of your house and land all in your front yard.
Starting point is 00:21:50 and I was going to tell you two nights ago I had one about waist high. He looked like he had a hood on the fur or hair, what are you want to call it, around their face. Looks like they're wearing a little hoodie. I had one two nights ago, push my front door open on the deck, and whistled real loud. And my dog, she's not scared. She's not scared of them when she hears a tree snap like night before like,
Starting point is 00:22:19 night before, like, she'll go out and bark and run them off. None of the dogs around here are afraid of them. But now these big fish could kill these dogs at the, you know, snap of a finger if they wanted to, of course. But they don't, you know, they don't tire nothing up. I've had, Jeremiah, I know this might seem strange. I've had lips, like if a human being walked up to my car and left a big kiss imprint in the frost on the side of my wife,
Starting point is 00:22:49 windows of my car. A couple of different times I've had big kiss marks on the side of my car. And they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they're out there around the car every night. And like said, um, the big ones and some of the things I'll say might seem a little hard to believe for some people that's never been around these creatures, but there's a few here that I know are 12 foot or taller because I take pictures of them every night. And like I said, there's different colors. The little ones look like chimps. And that's what they look like to me.
Starting point is 00:23:30 They look like chimps. The big ones look sort of half gorilla and half human. You know, I don't really know what they are, but that's what they look like to me. The little ones look like chimps. And all of the ones I've seen, none of them hardly looked at. same. They all kind of look a little different. My girlfriend went out last summer to scrape out, you know, our breakfast was scraps that we had for the animals, the dog. We got in a cat. She went out in the backyard, Jeremiah, and she had an iron skilicking her hand, and she'd been over to wreck the
Starting point is 00:24:10 scraps out, and when she stood back up, she said it was at least 10 foot tall. A 10-foot-tall big foot stood up in the wood line, which is 30 yards away from her. And she got an eye-to-eye, you know, an eye-to-eye contact with it. And this is what she said it looked like. She said it was at least 10 foot tall, if not taller. It had the things that stuck out the most, she said it had big, super big, blowed up lips, the lips is what the lips and the nose is what really stuck out. He said it had about three-inch hair. Didn't have any hair on his chest much,
Starting point is 00:24:57 but it had three-inch hair that hung down off its arms. The nose was supersized. The lips were blowed up, supersized. The eyes were black. It had medium-sized ears back on its head. He had a round head. it has super duper long arms its legs wasn't as long as its arms and she said its fingers were gigantic and she said it had a soda can in its right hand
Starting point is 00:25:29 because we collect our aluminum cans and sell them and sometimes we'll pitch them out of the car when we come home and picture behind the house we've got a container thing behind the house we keep them in a pit of outgallon plastic barrow backer it had the sun it was about 10 o'clock in morning Jeremiah and the sun was reflect.
Starting point is 00:25:47 That's how she noticed it had a soda can and it's right in. The sun was shining off of the aluminum can. And she said, it stood there and looked at her for maybe 15 seconds, you know, looking at her from up and down. And she said it was four foot across the chest. And she said its arms were gigantic. She said the thing had gigantic biceps on it. And she said it looked at her about 15 seconds,
Starting point is 00:26:20 and it turned all in one motion and walked off. It was black. And she said her was shining off the sun too. It had a slick black coat of her on it. And she said she noticed when it walked off how wide its back was. And I'm a decent-sized man at my age. I'm 62. she said it would make me look like a toothpick.
Starting point is 00:26:50 And that's just what she said. And it scared her. She changed smokes for about, I don't know, three weeks. She couldn't sleep for a lot longer than that. Her chest got real tight when she seen it. Her blood pressure was off the chart. And I took her away from home for the rest of the day. We went out and went up.
Starting point is 00:27:15 and went a few places, and she stayed quite a bit in fear for at least, you know, a couple of months after that. It shook her to her core. Like I said, they get right up against the house, and they'll hold her babies up in an hour after dark. Now, they don't like light. If we turn the porch light on, they'll stay just back out of the light. But we've got kind of thin curtains, and if you keep the porch light off, off and close the curtains.
Starting point is 00:27:47 You can see them not up against the deck out here, but like I said, they don't. Two weeks ago, we was out, this is the first time we've been out in our yard after dark in probably a year. I'd raked up leaves all day during mine. I thought they were burning. And we basically knew we was going to see one real close.
Starting point is 00:28:10 And sure enough, we've seen, you know, three or four big ones. I couldn't tell how to talk. It was because it was dark, but they were big. We saw a couple down on all fours. And we was out there maybe 30 minutes, about an hour, about an hour after dark, and we're still burning these big piles of leaves.
Starting point is 00:28:30 And there was one probably about 50 yards from us behind the house, and that's the best scream that I've ever heard one do. It started out sounding like a siren, like a fire truck. It went from sounding like a sireen to into a scream all in one, you know, all in one motion, a siren into a screen. And then every dog around here opened up, scarred barking, every dog in the neighborhood barking. And so we decided we'd better come on inside. And so we came on inside and we didn't hear nothing else, no more, no more activity the rest of the night.
Starting point is 00:29:12 but if we want to see one, all we have to do is stay outside out here, you know, basically doing anything. They don't like for us to be outside after dark. I talked to one of my neighbors that lives about a mile from me, and they've been running inside by them too after dark. He said there was some people over there one night that had just built a house down from him,
Starting point is 00:29:40 and he had quite a bit of part. was going on. People were drinking guns. They were out there cooking out. And he said all of a sudden they heard a bunch of trees snapping and one of these big foot screamed out real loud and started growling.
Starting point is 00:29:57 And he said, you're to see him. He was out in his front yard too and he said you ought to see those people running in the house. He actually thought this was on my house. And he told me, I've known Randy for about 25 years. And he told me back in sometime of
Starting point is 00:30:12 around 2000, but he saw what he thought was a female and a young one. Could have been a male. He didn't know, but there was a young one and a much bigger one. He said they come up out of the woods on all fours. They had to climb a little bit of an embankment there. He said, once they got up on the gravel road, they stood up, walked across the road, and then went back on all fours and went back on the other side of the into the woods there, in which basically that's how they come to my house.
Starting point is 00:30:45 They cross over from one ridge. And, Jeremiah, there's so much wilderness out here. It's ridiculous. They cross over from one ridge and come into the hollow behind my house. And there's a, you know, some of the, I've seen you, I don't know how many pictures of crazy stuff. But there's down here on the Cumberland River, we know where there's a spot you can go.
Starting point is 00:31:10 And people have just basically abandoned the place. They were some, this is about two miles from my house. They were some destruction workers down there. They were going to put in some buildings. It was the state of Tennessee. State workers were down there. And me and Sonia, my girlfriend, just happened to show up right after, well, we knew something that went on.
Starting point is 00:31:34 But they were chainsaws laying everywhere and equipment laying anywhere. You know, if anybody would have been a thief, they could have packed up a whole truckload of. chain thaws and all kinds of toolboxes and stuff and took off with them but we didn't bother anything and we happened to look up and about 80 or 100 i'd say 100 feet in a tree one had broke off a big tree limb and stripped it well this is more like a log it's not a tree limb they broke the top of the tree out the tree's probably 100 years old they broke the top of the tree out and stripped all of the the big foot stripped all of the limbs off of the tree out and they broke the top of the tree out and stripped all of the limbs off
Starting point is 00:32:13 and left that up as a sign for them guys not to come back down there. And they basically run them guys off and they haven't been back, Jeremiah. Whatever they was going to construct down there, they've never done it. They've left out and never did come back. And so, yeah, it's just an everyday occurrence. And, you know, for anybody, I want to say this too, for anybody that thinks I'm, you know, full of it or whatever,
Starting point is 00:32:41 I challenge anyone If they want to see a big foot Get a hold of Jeremiah And he can get a hold of me And I will guarantee you If you want to see one Come to my house And I'll show you one
Starting point is 00:32:55 Any time after dark Any day of the week And And we'll solve that You know, right here and right now If anybody thinks I'm full of it I'll show you just how much I ain't full of it
Starting point is 00:33:07 But Jeremiah They leave claw marks out here on our front deck. We see pictures. I see few pictures of that. They leave claw marks. And about, probably about two months ago, they left, one left a big claw mark out in the front yard.
Starting point is 00:33:24 We went to the grocery store and came back and it was fresh. If data management is slowing down your business, you need the Intuit ERP.

Starting point is 00:33:58 On this episode of Plant Killers, we'll explore one nation's most notorious fruit and vegetable killer, bad dirt. What makes bad dirt so bad? The answer? The ingredients. But fear not, true crime enthusiasts. This story has a happy ending. Miracle Grow organic raised bed in garden soil. It's made with quality organic ingredients from upcycled green waste like compost and aged bark.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Unlike the other guys who can't say the same, looks like bad dirt's murdering days are over. Thanks to Miracle Grow. Join us next time on plant killers. It said everything happens for a reason, but maybe everything happens for a reases. Take noise-canceling headphones. Do they block hearing to heightened taste? Hmm. That sound seems to show.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Everything happens for a Rees. They had left a big... I sent you the pictures. You know what I'm talking about, Jeremiah. They left a big claw mark. Actually, two claw marks out there. But... Big rock on the cruise?
Starting point is 00:34:56 Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. They was one left a big rock on my igloo cooler about three nights ago. I go out the front deck and one left me a gilk. It was a big red whatever. I'm not a geologist, but it left a big red rock laying on top of my igloo coo right here just as I step off the deck. So, you know, I always, when I first get up in the morning, the first thing I do is I get me a cup of coffee and walk around my house to see, you know, oh, to see if they've done anything. Jeremiah, these things, these creatures, whatever they are, they're very intelligent.
Starting point is 00:35:35 just to tell you a thing of how smart they are. They have draw it on the side of our house, X's and W's, and I believe these creatures have a language, and I'll tell you why. If you look at that picture of that peanut butter, I got to feed them last summer, and they got to take in the food every night right at Dusky Dark. They love peanut butter, and they love loaf bread.
Starting point is 00:36:04 They love apples. Yeah, exactly. And Jeremiah, these creatures are not greedy. I would take four apples over there, and they would take two, and they would leave two. And we got to feed them every night. Well, that went on for about three months. I'd hang it up about head high on a tree over there in a grocery bag, a plastic grocery bag. Well, we missed a couple of nights and didn't feed them.
Starting point is 00:36:29 And these Bigfoot figured that we were running low of food, too, since we hadn't missed since we started. we hadn't missed a night of feeding them. We missed a couple of nights, and they must have figured that we was kind of having it hard too by missing two nights. And so they haven't took food from a sense. We missed two nights. They haven't took anything from a sense,
Starting point is 00:36:52 and we put everything out there, but they just won't take it. They're very smart, Jeremiah, is what I'm trying to say. These things are humble, and whatever they are, they're very smart, and they can draw really well with their claws give you some kind of insight on how good they can draw.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Last fall, me and my girlfriend is out here in the backyard, and she was singing to them, and they would thump. Every time she'd sing a song, she was singing that song by Dolly Parton call, working 9 to 5. And every time she would finish singing that song, one would thump its chest, maybe 40, 50 yards from us behind the house.
Starting point is 00:37:33 And you could hear it where it was live, too, and a deep bump. And one of these giant peleaded woodpeckers flew over our head and lit down in the woods and started hammering on a tree, found up a jackhammer. And the next day, what happens? I get up the next day and we go out there
Starting point is 00:37:54 and I looked at that and I just shook my head. That big foot had drawed the head of a peleaded woodpecker on the side of my house. I mean, it looked just like, I couldn't have brought a picture that good about a piggy in the woodpecker's head. I mean, it's crazy. But these things do. And I know there's going to be people out there that say, I'm nuts. Well, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:38:18 You know, I wish I'd, I wish I'd never found out about Bigfoot. I wish I could go back and live a normal life. The last thing in my life that I ever wanted was to find out that these things were living here, you know. And they'd been here, I would say, a lot. long time. I do know this, the people that owned this farm before, just 15 acres before I owned it, they moved in, they left here, and they lived here many, many years, and they left and moved right in the middle of town down in Salina.
Starting point is 00:38:51 They left here, and they, that's how I got the land I bought off then, and they moved in the middle of Salina, right in the middle of town, so I never give that much thought until later on. And, you know, you think about things, you know, as time goes on. why this and why that. But, yeah, they, they, they, uh, they, uh, they draw on the house and they, they, I don't know what's up with these X's and Y's, you know, those pictures I sent you, Jeremiah with that coyote's head ripped off with a forked limb laying next to what used
Starting point is 00:39:23 to be a head on a coyote. I found that out here. It was a coyote that had, had its head. Well, actually, it had half of its head. What it done is, this, this big foot ripped. its face off and it left a forked stick about two foot long laying right next to where its face used to be and you know they they obviously don't like coyotes and um we never hear many cowards around here i think they keep them cleaned out but and i told you about that time that i
Starting point is 00:39:55 walked out of my off my front deck and uh there's a deer laying i hear three steps from my front door of my deck and it had its head ripped off they left that i believe for a gift. You know, they've seen me kill and clean a lot of deer here on this place
Starting point is 00:40:10 over the years. I quit hunting oh, probably last year I shot was in 2018 with a mousal over so I've done hunted
Starting point is 00:40:18 since 2018. I just, at my age, I got off the interest in it, you know, I don't sure anything about killing anything
Starting point is 00:40:24 anymore as long as I can, you know, buy my own food and stuff. But if I ever have to go back to do it, I won't have any
Starting point is 00:40:30 problems if I had to, but these things they, they, they observe everything you do. You know, they watch. They're like watching people and what they're up to. And like I said, it is kind of a little freaky to, you know,
Starting point is 00:40:45 to know they're right out here in the yard right now as I'm speaking to you. But it is a little weird feeling, you know, but they don't bother us, you know. They don't make any screams out around the house here unless you're outside now. If you go outside, it's a different. story but and i can't uh get outside after dark on the phone you know i told you last year that i was sitting out there the first thing i heard was two trees crack and break and fall and the next thing i noticed is one had grabbed the whole of my deck and jeremiah when i built this deck back in
Starting point is 00:41:25 2008 i built it with a two bites with hurricane clips on each end of the two bait you could drive a five-ton truck up on this deck and it was and bow. So I had one while I was out there on the phone that night, about 8.30, I had one to grab the side. It's a colonial style deck, and I had one to grab the side of the deck over here where there's a dark spot. One end of my deck, you can see light, and the other end, there's no light.
Starting point is 00:41:51 That's the end they hang out all the time. They won't hang out where there's any light. And anything they can hide behind, one can be 20 feet from you, you won't know it. But I had one to come up here about 831. last summer and grabbed my deck and shake it like it was a sack of potatoes and it rattled it shook this entire deck and I went out there the next day and tried to shake it and I couldn't even I couldn't even I couldn't even think about attempting to make the deck move in any form of passion and that's just the strength of these animals they've got superhuman
Starting point is 00:42:27 strength well you know a gorilla Jeremiah has the strength of 20 men and Speaking of gorillas, I got there researching gorillas to see if I could find a connection between these bigfoots and gorillas, and I will say this. Anybody can do the same thing I don't. There's four types of gorillas that live in Africa, and they do have a lot of traits of Bigfoot. They bow over trees.
Starting point is 00:42:56 They use forkage sticks as tools. They make a bed every night with, they'll break limbs off, and in Bowham, like in a 90-degree angle, and they will make a nest out of that every night to sleep in. They sleep in a different nest every night, pretty much, I guess. That's what the program said that I got on.
Starting point is 00:43:21 I'd like I said, I did some investigating a little bit about, and I'm going to tell you something. Gorillas and Bigfoots have 99% of the same the same tactics and the same behavior. I do believe that they are very closely related. I don't exactly know what a big foot is, but I do know that I have seen a lot of the same patterns that gorillas do that big foot do.
Starting point is 00:43:55 You know, the thumping on the chest, for instance. You know, the big nose and, you know, the hair on the face. comes about halfway across their face, you know, on each side. Now, some of these big foot here have, they're, I've seen some smaller ones about waist high that has the face completely covered in here.
Starting point is 00:44:18 And some of them don't have any hair at all, so I don't know what, you know, what the difference in them is. They might be different species of big foot, I think, because, like I said, I've seen another thing, too, Jeremiah, I've got a metal roof on my front deck. It's 30 by 12, 30-foot-long foot-foot-by.
Starting point is 00:44:36 I put a metal roof on it. And when these big foot, it's when the lights are all off, and with just our bathroom light on it, you can keep it dark in here of a night, you know. Sometimes when they get close to the deck, their body's image will reflect onto the top of my, deck roofing
Starting point is 00:45:01 their body image will reflect and you can see their body image up there and when I take a picture I can see them in the picture
Starting point is 00:45:10 and I can also see them on this metal that they reflect off of in the life and yeah some of them have hair around their necks you know
Starting point is 00:45:19 like I said they all look a little different and the little ones like I said they kind of look like chimps to me, I don't know. Some of them do and some of them don't, but they're all kind of different looking, but I do know this.
Starting point is 00:45:35 These big foots, they really they really are good mothers because about every time you see one, they've got a little one, you know, either by them or they're holding
Starting point is 00:45:48 them in their hands or they're on their shoulders. We've even seen them on the top of their heads, you know, riding along with them. but there's so much to tell. And something else too is once you start picking up on this big foot activity and you know what to look for like to boat over trees and snapped off trees,
Starting point is 00:46:13 you know, about 10, 12 foot up in the hour. I'm talking about trees that are six inches in diameter, four and six inches in diameter. These creatures are, I've seen, evidence of them over here in the city limits of Cookville. It's a town about 25 miles away. I've seen the evidence of them over there inside the city limits. It's a place you'd never think that these things would be.
Starting point is 00:46:39 But I figured out wherever there's food, water, and cover, these creatures will be there. And, you know, they're opportunistic. They'll get food any way they can. I don't think they eat meat a whole lot. I think they do kill and eat deer, no doubt. But I think, and I'm going to tell you why I think this, I think they eat sprouts, they eat leaves, especially green leaves. They love walnut leaves.
Starting point is 00:47:06 You know that. I mean, you had, I had showed you a lot of pictures last year where they'd strip off green walnut leaves, and they pack off walnuts too. But they, I have seen it, I've been in the woods back in the winter, and I saw rotten trees. Jeremiah that had a big bite mark out of them. And I'm talking about mark probably a foot long or something that just, well, I know what it was, a big foot. It's like a rotten tree that has soft pulp in it.
Starting point is 00:47:41 I've seen where one of these big foot just took a big bite out of it, you know, while it's still standing in Atlanta on the ground. And I've seen activity of them around old rotted stumps and stuff like that where they're looking for, you know, beetles or whatever. you know, some kind of bugs to eat. But I think they eat more shrubs, leaves, especially in the summertime. I think they eat green grass. And it took me a while to figure that out because in the summertime, down close to the woods where I don't mow. I got a four-acre front yard, by the way. And I can keep up a four-acre yard at my age.
Starting point is 00:48:23 I've seen where I can walk out in the back next to the wood line. over next to my cow barn and I can tell where they've been the night prior and they make a big old place on the ground you've seen the pictures I've sent you, Jeremiah where they've sat on the ground and there's always been a big spot
Starting point is 00:48:41 in the front that was missing of grass and that's how I figured out they eat green grass too and last winter I think it was in January, yeah it was in January I got up one morning he's about 8 o'clock
Starting point is 00:48:56 My girlfriend gets up real early sometimes, three or four. She'll get up and smoke a cigarette, make her a cup of coffee. He said back in mid-January, she said she got up and walked in here. And she said that was a big foot laying back here by her bedroom. It jumped up and run through the front yard down the driveway. And she showed me when I got up. I got me a cup of coffee and said, you're a little while. And I said, boy, there's a snow on the ground.

Starting point is 00:49:58 Bad dirt. What makes bad dirt so bad? The answer? The ingredients. But fear not true crime enthusiasts. This story has a happy ending. Miracle Grow organic raised bed and garden soil. It's made with quality organic ingredients from upcycled green waste like compost and aged bark. Unlike the other guys who can't say the same,
Starting point is 00:50:18 looks like bad dirt's murdering days are over. Thanks to Miracle Grow. Join us next time on plant killers. They say everything happens for a reason, but I suspect, everything happens for a Reese's. Like this commercial break, did you need 15 seconds away from music,
Starting point is 00:50:32 or 15 seconds to eat arreases? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a reases. It's about 4 inches of snow. I say, I go out there and go out there and grab my copy, and I'll take pictures and see if I can see, excuse me, see if I can see where it run off. And sure enough, I went out there and wore right there
Starting point is 00:50:50 where the footprints was. I sent you a bunch of those. And also, I find, out these things can leap from one. They can be like they, instead of being on all fours, they kind of sit, you know, they sit, kind of hunched over a little, and they can jump from one spot to a next.
Starting point is 00:51:15 I've seen you some pictures where there's 10 and 12 foot leaps. I measured them from one, they can leap 10 to 12 feet. at a time, you know, and that's moving for an animal that big, you know, to jump that far into 12-foot spaces in between, in between. That's like a rabbit. I mean, these things can jump like a rabbit. But I would just like to know what they are, you know, we have, like I said, they're out here right now in my front yard standing.
Starting point is 00:51:54 And I'll tell you something else, Jeremiah. love to eat burning bushes for whatever reason. I've not figured that out yet. But they, I've got 12 burning bushes out here in my yard and they've never been trimmed and they're 25 years old and they're like 12, 14, 16 foot high. And they love to eat those burning bushes. And they'll, right after dark, there's a certain group of the big ones that stand. in the same place every night.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Same place. And I've got some big spruce trees and some Canadian fur trees in my front yard too. And they climb them basically every night. They'll get up in them. I can see their eyes shine. We see eyes shine, Jeremiah. I mean, I'm sitting here right now and, you know, just right out there 40 yards. They're out there right now.
Starting point is 00:52:54 You know, any time I want to, I can see eye shine. they know I won't harm them. They're not afraid of us, but they know that, you know, I won't harm them. That's why they bring their little ones around here all the time, because they trust us. And anyway, they hang out, I was saying a while ago, there's a certain group.
Starting point is 00:53:18 There's like three great big ones that like to stand in the same place every night out there. There's a, with my street light the way it is, these Canadian fir trees block off a certain location down that row of burning bushes. And they stand in the dark right there in that blocked out place where there's no light. And you can look out there, you know, any time after dark. And you can see eyes shine in the same ones. I take pictures of them too. And it's the same three.
Starting point is 00:53:54 it stand out there. It's a great big tall one and one a little shorter and then a young one. Sometimes we'll stand out there with them. But yeah, like I said, it's a never-night thing here. We kind of never got used to being around them. I don't think we ever will, but we've learned to live with them. You know, it's just how it is. It is what it is, Jeremiah.
Starting point is 00:54:27 There's so much more to tell. Like I said, there's another place down here on the river. And, you know, about anywhere you go around here, I was mushroom hunting today and, you know, sign everywhere in the woods, bowled over trees. The trees that's bowled over behind my house, they point at my house. I don't know what kind of sign that is,
Starting point is 00:54:49 but about six-inch trees bowled over, no limbs whatsoever on them. They're stripped clean of limbs and they bow them over and pointing toward their house. If that means anything, I don't really know. There's so much I don't know about these things. I've only been on to them for about a year and a half.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Not hardly a year and a half. But when you have experiences, you know, all the time and they're out here every night, you know, there's a lot to say about them. You know, but they are peaceful. You know, they're not, they scare us there for quite a while, though we were terrified. We were literally living in fear every single night. There for, you know, a long time.
Starting point is 00:55:39 About eight months, I guess. We were living in fear of them. You know, like I said, when they want us to go to bed, they started hitting a house with acorns and stuff. And then one night they got to throw on pretty good-sized rocks on their roof. you know, hitting the side of the house with it. I've got, speaking of, Jeremiah,
Starting point is 00:55:58 there's something else I want to talk to you about, too. There's a trout hatchery. It's about 15 and off in here. And they have a hard time keeping these big footes out of that trout hatchery. There's a group of them. I've heard a pretty good-sized group of them. I've seen sign everywhere.
Starting point is 00:56:21 I've seen their foot friends. I've seen boat over to you, you know, you name it. But I haven't, I've seen one quite a few actually at a distance last summer, but, you know, maybe 150 yards away, standing the edges of the woodline. But at night down there, they won't let anybody walk in that little, they got a little park down there, a little walking park. It's about a half, maybe all the way around. They won't, the park range won't let anybody walk in it after dark.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Last summer, they was, it's a big RV park. to, you know, it's part of Del Hall of Down, Del Hall Reservoir, and there was a big RV place down there. And last summer, they had quite a bit of trouble out of people running for their lives
Starting point is 00:57:05 and saying that they was buyers running around, you know. At least that's what they were told by the wardens, by the park rangers. You know, they was running back and telling them they'd seen this, oh, that's just some bears that's been running around trying to get into the factory.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Well, the sign that I've, seen. Like I said, I've seen some real big quits down there from the distance. They're not biased, but the park rangers and game wardens want to tell you that they're biased, but they're not virus. My neighbor down here, as a matter of fact, I've got so much to tell it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:57:37 My neighbor down here, her husband passed away, and I was good friends with them still in. They're from Florida. They up down here about a mile from me, and after her husband passed away back in April,
Starting point is 00:57:52 last year. And I was talking to her down there, maybe a couple, two or three months ago. I seen her outside and I hadn't talked to her in a while. Like I said, she's a friend of mine. I stopped and talked to her. And I said, do you ever hear anything weird around here of a night or you ever hear any trees breaking or snapping or any weird sounds?
Starting point is 00:58:12 She goes, yeah, it's funny you said that, Mark. She said, just the other night I heard my dog started barking. She said, I grabbed the flashlight. and she said, I go around back. Like I said, she just feels like I left out from me. She said, I went around back and she said, all of a sudden, a big black bear stands up. And it was almost in my face. And she said, I dropped my flashlight and I ran fast as I could back in the house.
Starting point is 00:58:37 And, of course, I didn't want to scare Jeremiah. I didn't say anything about what I knew, but I knew it wouldn't know black bear. We don't have black bears here. We got black bears about 40 miles from here, but I believe, here. Like I said, 28 years, I've never seen a black bear here. You have to go to Crossville about 40 miles away, and there's quite a few back there, up in Smoky Mountains and up around Crossville. But, Jeremiah, do you remember last summer? I told you I had a game warden that was a lifelong friend of mine. We were raised up in the mountains, up in East Overton
Starting point is 00:59:13 County, and he was raised up in the same neighborhood that I was, and I knew his father real well, and used to work for him. He used to be an independent truck driver. Yeah. And he moved people from one city to another. And I used to go with him sometimes on trips and help him load up the furniture and stuff. So he was just a little boy then, maybe seven or eight years old.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Well, he grew up and went to college and got a biology degree in biology. He's a gang warden. Well, I was sick. you're talking with my girlfriend last summer. I said, you know what? I've got a lifelong friend of mine. I hadn't seen him a long time. I said, he's a game ward.
Starting point is 00:59:57 I'm going to call him up. So I get the phone book out and call him up. We have a big talk. And he goes, yeah, I told him where I live. Yeah, I'll come down. So I go up to, first I go up and meet him. I didn't really, I didn't tell him anything about Bigfoot. I wanted to talk to me face to face.
Starting point is 01:00:18 I went up and met him at, Arby's parking lot last summer I sat in his truck for maybe an hour and told him what I knew and so he said I'll come down and you know
Starting point is 01:00:31 next weekend so something came up and they had to go do something a bunch of those gangbordons had to go somewhere and stay three days on the lake Bell Hall
Starting point is 01:00:43 so he called me up and said I can't be there I'll be there another day so sure enough he come much of time and he said he will. And he stayed here for over two hours, Jeremiah, looking at evidence, a Tennessee state gang warden.
Starting point is 01:00:56 I don't mention his name. But he stayed here for over two hours, and I showed him that cow, supposedly cow hip bone, which I think it's a big foot hip bone. Like I told you last summer, Jeremiah, they ain't no cows within a five-mile radius of my house. But why would it be a cow hip bone?
Starting point is 01:01:18 about. Anyway, I showed him that X and the Y scratched on it and took him behind the house. And we stayed around here walking around for about two hours, you know, talking. I showed him some things that had happened to my barn, you know. And the first thing we talked about when we stepped in the woods behind my house, he walked up to this green bush and said, do you know what that is? And I said, no, I don't. I have no idea. And he goes, that's a spice bush.
Starting point is 01:01:52 And see, at the time he was telling me this, it went right over my head because I didn't put the two and two together until he'd done left. He said, that's a spying. And we went into telling me about this spice bush. And he said, certain creatures eat this spice bush. It cleans their teeth and it makes them smell good. And I thought, well, why would a creature care about their teeth and care about their teeth and care about smelling good. You know what? He told me all about it, but it never computed. It just went right over my head. Well, we got him in the house, and we got to talking about old times. He had
Starting point is 01:02:31 his gun and everything on. We got talking about old times and stuff, showing him all these pictures. Like I said, he stayed a little over two hours. And my girlfriend just came out and asked him, you know, she's kind of a blunt, straightforward person. She says, I want to ask you something. She said, does Bigfoot really exist? And he wouldn't answer the question. He would just shake his head. And he told my girlfriend, he says, you can sit out there on your porch all night long on your phone
Starting point is 01:03:04 and you won't be harmed by anything. I know what. He said, you won't be harmed by anything. He said, I don't know of anything around here that will harm you. And so, you know, And then she asked him a few other questions, and he would just nod his head up and down. He'd either nod yes or he'd nod no, but he wouldn't say nothing out. You know, he wouldn't say nothing, you know, that was definite.
Starting point is 01:03:30 I'm sure these game warden sign of disclosure where they're not allowed to talk about him. But they know all about him, Jeremiah. You can count on that. And I walked him out. I walked him across the street and showed him some snapped off trees. It was just happening a couple of nights before he came. down here and he's seen all the boat over stuff and all the forking
Starting point is 01:03:49 limbs hanging all around here about head high and I showed him some places where something big had set and I told him what I thought it was and he'd just shake his head every time I'd show him one he'd really pay attention now now I can't
Starting point is 01:04:05 say his name but he would really I mean he was really on top of his game but he just wouldn't come out and say that Bigfoot exists I couldn't get him to admit to it but he was really, you know, really nice, and I treated him like he is, you know, my brother, and he treated me like I was his brother.
Starting point is 01:04:27 We talked about everything, and he was very courteous, very nice, just like the young man I used to know. You know, like I said, he just raised up down the street from him. And I'm about 10 years older than he is. But, yeah, I knew his family. He knew my family. I used to work some for his dad back in the day. But he wouldn't, no, he wouldn't come out and say, you know, what he knew they were.
Starting point is 01:04:52 Oh, of course, he knew what was going on. He looked at them boat over trees and just shake his head, told me all about the spice bush, told me they wouldn't hurt me, but he wouldn't tell me what they were, you know. But I'd probably get him and tell them. He was trying to tell you without telling you is what it sounds like to me. That's exactly right, Jeremiah. But like I said, that spice bush thing went right over my head. I didn't have any idea, you know, what he was talking about.
Starting point is 01:05:25 You know, what I thought, what animal will care about keeping clean teeth and what animal will care about smelling good? And what it is, I forgot to mention this, this spice bush is peppermint. It's a peppermint bush. If you eat it, it tastes like peppermint.

Starting point is 01:06:45 happens for a Reese's. Like this commercial break, did you need 15 seconds away from music, or 15 seconds to eat arreases? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a reases. It's real peppermint, and they grow about, oh, waist, a chest high to a six foot tall man, and they're ever before behind my house. That was the first thing he noticed when he stepped in the woods. He walked straight up to one. First thing he done. He said, you know what that is? And I said, no I don't he said that that's a spice bush he said they're peppermint he said break one of the leaves off and chew it up in your mouth I did I said yeah that's spearment peppermint he goes exactly he said some animals like to keep their teeth clean and some animals like to lay in them and you know like
Starting point is 01:07:33 to put them on their body it makes them smell good now that just went right over the top of my age or my but anyway he left and I haven't contacted him since he told me me of anything. Like I said, he's one of my best friends used to be back in the day and still is if I ever need him. He's not your typical,
Starting point is 01:07:51 you know, smart aleck, you know, better than thou, you know, blowed up ego. He ain't that type of a guy. But,
Starting point is 01:08:00 you know, like I said, I was just talking to him like he is my brother. And he would just shake his head when he didn't want to answer something. And when he, when he seen something,
Starting point is 01:08:12 he didn't want to talk about. about there again he'd just shake his head. I showed him all them pork limbs and that blew him away. He got a couple down out of the trees out here and I've got a big ash tree out here and he got a couple down out of that ash tree and looked at him and, you know, he said, I wonder what that is. I wonder why that is. I said, that ain't normal. He said, no. He said, that's not normal to me. I said, well, it sure ain't to me. And he put them back up there and we went, we walked on. you know. And, but yeah, it's an every night thing.
Starting point is 01:08:47 There's so much. Actually, my girlfriend went in order to read a book, and I don't have her here for, you know, to fill me in on all the stuff that she knows too. But it's just the ever night thing, Jeremiah. And that night she went out there and that and jumped up beside the car and jumped our smoker grill. She said that, you know what she said? There's something else I want to talk to you about.
Starting point is 01:09:12 believe it or not, these B-foots are as much scared of us as we are of them. They're terrified. They're terrified of humans. I mean, they don't like to be around humans. They growl. And trust me, from what I know about them, I don't know if I could say they don't like us, but they sure don't like being around us. They like watching us from the distance, especially, you know, after dark.
Starting point is 01:09:39 If they can look in your window, they love walking around, in people's windows. But here they don't have to do that. They can just watch me on my phone when I'm up here in this window every night. They, you know, back off at a distance and watch everything I do. We don't try to hide for them no more. We were terrified for a long time and kept all the windows shut and lots all out. Finally, we just got to the 4th and no way.
Starting point is 01:10:01 They ain't fair going to do anything to us. They've done it by now, you know. Oh, yeah. I mean, you definitely think so, especially since you mentioned that there was a, you know, The coyote with its head ripped off and the deer with its face ripped off. Remind me, how recent did those two instances happen? The coyote was not this past winter, but the last winter. It was like early spring of last year.
Starting point is 01:10:34 It was like March of last year, about a year ago when I found that. Yeah, about a year ago. It was in March, I believe, Jeremy. mile and yeah she told me that she scared that big foot to death when she turned that light off in the car to get out she said it wouldn't move long she had the light on but as soon as she went to turn that light off and and that thing before she could even get out of the car hit and jumped up and jumped right in front of her face she said it was about my height about six foot tall she thought and she said hit and jump that coo jump that cooler out there like it wouldn't even there or not that cooler but the smoker out in the front yard. But there's so many things that's happened. I can't remember them all. I will say this.
Starting point is 01:11:22 I know there's one here that's at least 12 foot tall. I actually think there's about three of them that. I don't know exactly the heights, but I know they're extremely tall. And one of them, and you know about this, we talked about it last year, we went and bought us a new fan last May, I think it was. went and bought us a new fan to put in the bedroom. And it had been quite, we had a little fan back here prior to that.
Starting point is 01:11:50 The first night we put that fan up, that big fan. I went outside the next day and walked around the back of the house, and I saw a handprint. Oh, that's something else I want to talk to you about, too. I saw a handprint, Jeremiah, on the back of the house, and I came around here, and I texted you and told you, you said, go measure it, and I went and measured it, and it was seven inches from,
Starting point is 01:12:12 outside the little finger to the outside thumb it was seven inches and speaking of handprints I got a good detail about that and this is going to trip your trigger right here partner we go down to the trout hatchery all the time and walk on that little walk place down there
Starting point is 01:12:28 about a mile or a half it's a paved little trail down there we were down there last fall last summer last July I think it was and my girlfriend has really good here but I can't hear it thunder. I cannot hear it through much, I guess, back in the day, on the tanks.
Starting point is 01:12:50 But anyway, she said, Mark, I hear something running up this creek. There's a creek that runs down through the middle of this trail. And at the end of the little creek, there's trout in there too. Poor trout, rainbows and browns, not up on the hills, the hatchery. She goes, Mark, I hear something. They wouldn't know by down there but us, and that's a lot of cases used us. He said, I hear something running up that creek, and it's really moving fast. I said, I can't hear it.
Starting point is 01:13:13 She goes, let's jog a little. Let's start walking fast. And she goes, I can still hear it. It's still coming. And so we basically take off and start running. And, you know, it just kind of called us off guard. We didn't have time enough to think about what it was. She just heard something big running up the middle of that creek.
Starting point is 01:13:33 In this creek, you can't see unless you're on the edge of it. It's a creek. It's sunk down low. and so we get up our next to the car and we stopped by this big popper tree. There's a popper tree that are probably 100 years old. It's huge. Probably five foot thick. And we stopped there and rest a few minutes and we got our breath.
Starting point is 01:13:54 And so we went ahead and got in the car. Well, the very next day we come back and we're walking down through there. And I happened to look over, you know, that poplar tree is right there. You have to walk right by. I looked over there. and I saw a huge handprint on the side of this popper tree, and it was muddy. It was muddy.
Starting point is 01:14:16 So I took pictures of it. I sent them to you. You got them, so you know all about it. But what that Bigfoot done, there's, Jeremiah, there's like a concrete,
Starting point is 01:14:30 underground, there's a, it's not a pipe. It's a concrete, spillway thing that runs under the road down there, and there's a creek that runs through the middle of it. And it's really cool and dark back in there. It's a way to go under the road.
Starting point is 01:14:51 For the Corps of Engineers, they go under the road. I thought if they ever have to. They don't never, but in case they have to, for some reason, and it's dark, but there's a bunch of big foots. I know live back in there because we see all kinds of sign of it. There's rocks laying everywhere in different places. every time we walk by it on a trail. There's big rocks down there,
Starting point is 01:15:10 50, 75-pound rocks that are moved. Sometimes there's not laying there at all. And I looked at my girlfriend and I said, they ain't no human being can move one of those rocks. And let alone no human being would have any business packing a rock down there. Well, what happened was, it's right there next to where this beak foot saw us
Starting point is 01:15:31 and we were the only one there and it saw us running. And it came up there. to let us know, you know, I'm here. So that's all about the handprint thing. That Bigfoot wanted us to know that, hey, this is my, this is my territory. And he wanted us to see that handprint, Jeremiah. He ran right up there as soon as we took off and slapped his left hand up there on that big poplar tree and left the prettiest big handprint. You've seen it.
Starting point is 01:16:00 You know what I'm talking about for all the listeners out there. Jeremiah knows what I'm talking about. slap that big left handprint up there and it's huge and nothing else can leave a handprint that size and it looked like that oh and by the way six fingers yeah I forgot to mention that part six fingers oh yeah oh yes oh yeah six fingers we both know what that means well I mean I know what I know what I don't know what else it means well I know it's six fingers true and that's not the only one I've got pictures of. There's one here at the house that's got six fingers.
Starting point is 01:16:38 Really? I got pictures of him. Yes. Yes. Go back, Jeremiah. I know it's been a year and I know you've talked to a lot of people. Yeah. Go back to the pictures I sent you in the beginning last year and look at that six-fingered
Starting point is 01:16:53 big footprint. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, you've sent me a ton of pictures over the last year for sure. There's been a massive amount. go back and look at that six-fingered big foot handprint I mean you couldn't
Starting point is 01:17:10 you couldn't put a prettier muddy handprint on a big poplar tree no prettier than that and was I mean there's no denying it there's no denying it you can't look at that and say it well something else doesn't it impossible it's not impossible
Starting point is 01:17:24 but it's sure yeah go back and look at that okay then I've got one here on the back of the house that's also got six fingers. Now, I've told you about the trout stream with the big foot running up our, now that's the only reason I can think that he would run up there and put his muddy handprint on the tree that we stopped by to take a rest.
Starting point is 01:17:52 That the only reason I can think that he did that is to tell us this is his territory and to let us know that he's there, you know, and to kind of be cautious. I can't think of nothing else Why a Bigfoot would run up a creek like that And he was down there fishing is what he was doing And I've got three pictures of some bigfoot's Down there on that same creek Later on that we took
Starting point is 01:18:17 We were on a bridge And I looked up there and I saw three And they're great looking But yeah, you can tell the high bridge route The high brow ridge The big eyes But I only got that one picture but yeah that he was one of those big puts i think i took a picture of about maybe two or
Starting point is 01:18:37 three weeks later but jeremiah i can't think of no other reason he would run up there and do that other than to tell us that that's his territory and to let us know he was there absolutely that's the prettiest that's the prettiest handprint of a big foot that i've ever saw it is in our first time talking. I'll just say actually real quick, I do, there's going to be some stuff that happened in the last year and man,
Starting point is 01:19:07 you are still having some wild things happening, Mark. It's crazy. Yeah. It just blows me away. They're standing out here right now in my front yard where I can't see them. They're seeing me right now
Starting point is 01:19:23 as I'm telling you this. As we're talking on the phone right now, they can see me. And I know where they are, but I can't see them with the naked eye. But, you don't go out there with a flashlight and that I'm down. Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you. Back, we had a warm night back in the winter. I can't remember exactly when it was, maybe December. Me and my girlfriend went out.
Starting point is 01:19:48 They was having meteor showers, Jeremiah. And I wanted to go out. And like I said, we don't go out here after dark. Nobody does in my neighborhood. And I said, well, I'm going to go out. I don't care. You know, I don't care. Dave runs back in, whatever.
Starting point is 01:20:02 I'm going to hear and see these meteor showers. And I talked to her in to coming out there, too. But we were out there maybe, maybe 10 minutes. And I had a small, big foot run within 10 yards of me. I mean, I could see its body and everything. It was in the dark now. It never did show itself in the light. But I heard it running from the burning bushes coming down the other side.
Starting point is 01:20:26 I was on one side of burning bushes and it was on the other and my girlfriend's got great here and she goes, here one comes, Mark, get back in the house. I'm telling you right now, get back in the house. And my dog was out there
Starting point is 01:20:38 and it never barked or nothing. My black cloud. And sure enough, it comes down one side of burning bushes, cross the burning bushes, and ran within 30 feet of me, and it stopped. And she said,
Starting point is 01:20:53 I told you for the last time to get your butt in the house and I mean now. And she talked me into it pretty quick when that thing stopped. It kind of give me the willies. But yeah, it was a small one. Maybe about waste high. I could see the
Starting point is 01:21:08 outline of it. Yeah, off the street line. Do it's stuff like that going to know that happens. Well, if we wanted to see one, all we have to do. Just go out there right now. I could hang up the phone. I tell you well, I could keep you on phone to go out there and while I'm talking to you right now.
Starting point is 01:21:24 And if I wanted to see one, I could see one. Wow. And this group, yeah, yeah, man. This group around the house here, like I said, they're used to us. They're really used to me because I'll live here 28 years. And these things were around here when I first moved here, but I didn't know it. And it's an ever-knit-time. It's an ever-night thing.
Starting point is 01:21:44 They don't come out in the daylight very much. Now, my girlfriend did see that big one in the backyard last summer, I recognized Scrauss, but that's the only one. Now, I've got pictures of some in the daylight. But, you know, to me, Jeremiah, I've got one picture. I've never seen it to you and I've never talked to you about it. But I've got one picture that they kind of look like what a Neanderthal would look like in a book. It's a big one.

On this episode of Plant Killers, we'll explore one nation's most notorious fruit and vegetable killer, bad dirt. What makes bad dirt so bad?
Starting point is 01:22:52 The answer? The ingredients. But fear not true crime enthusiasts. This story has a happy ending. Miracle Grow organic raised bed and garden soil. It's made with quality organic ingredients from upcycled green waste like compost and aged bark. Unlike the other guys who can't say the same,
Starting point is 01:23:09 looks like bad dirt's murdering days are over. Thanks to Miracle Grow. Join us next time on plant killers. It's said everything happens for a reason, but maybe everything happens for erases. Take noise-canceling headphones. Do they block hearing to heighten? taste?
Starting point is 01:23:25 Mmm. That sound seems to show. Everything happens for a recess. And the one's got reddish kind of hair. And, oh, yeah. A couple more things right quick. Their skin is kind of bluish. Either their hair or their skin is kind of bluish color,
Starting point is 01:23:45 because when I take a picture of one of a night, there's a lot of blue around them. You know, I don't know if it's in their hair follicles. I know their skin is kind of grayish, black-looking, but there's something to do with blue there somewhere. There's something either they've got maybe blue hair follicles or something to do with a blue color because there's just something too blue in a Bigfoot.
Starting point is 01:24:13 I can't explain it, Jeremiah. You can't say, you know. But, yeah, I've told, Jeremiah, if we want to see a Bigfoot, always have to do something. walk I turn the odds right now. Yeah. I mean, people on here, you know, people that don't know our situation, they think it's crazy.
Starting point is 01:24:33 But no, it's not crazy. I mean, we've been putting up with it for a long time. And we finally found out they don't mean us any harm. Right. They are what they are. Durham. There's nothing I can do about it. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:43 One more thing, too, I was going to tell you, we was going to move. We've been waiting on something. We've been fighting something for four years. Well, we found out Monday. that after everything, doctors, you name it, after everything was in someone's favor, a person was found unfavorable. They weren't denied because of what was wrong. They were just basically said that they didn't like, just the word unfavorable.
Starting point is 01:25:20 And that's why, you know, that kind of shot. us down this week. My girlfriend had been fighting for four years on something and found out Monday that that ain't going to come through. So, you know, she barely can walk due to a car wreck and her feet's all screwed up. And she's got metal and hardware and both feet and both ankles and the other suits of, you know, problems going on. And we found out that they don't care.
Starting point is 01:25:45 It was just a four-year battle for nothing. So I guess we're going to be here until the good Lord, you know, sees fit that we can move. So that really took our out of us. But, hey, you know, we got our health. There you go. Our farms paid for. Our farms paid for. We got her health.
Starting point is 01:26:02 We don't go hungry. And I'm going to go back to work next week. I found me a job. So, you know, we don't need for nothing, Jeremiah. But we were just wanting to move. That was our big thing. But, yeah, Jeremiah, there's big foot all around this area I live in. I mean, these things are everywhere around here.
Starting point is 01:26:21 Well, you know, I was going to ask. I was going to ask you. It'd come up in the first episode that we did together that you're kind of close to Standing Stone State Park. Yeah. Have you ever talked to anyone at that park about Bigfoot or are there sightings that happen in that state park? No, not in person. I talked to one guy online after I was on your show the first time. And he said that he had, you know, had run into.
Starting point is 01:26:52 of something about Stain Stone State Parks that he knew that they were over there. He'd seen either them or the sign of them one to other. I don't really remember which. But, yeah, at Stain Stone, it's a creeped out place anyway, and it's about four miles from me. And by the Teddram, I was there's big foot all over this area. Our place ain't the only one.
Starting point is 01:27:18 Let me tell you what my neighbor told me. about 10 years ago, I was accused of being a peeping Tom. My neighbor moved here from Oklahoma. They were truck drivers. They still live about a mile, mile and a half from me. And she was telling some other neighbors around here that, yeah, I think Mark was looking in my window the other night, and he had on a black hoodie,
Starting point is 01:27:47 had a black leather jacket and was wearing black pants he had everything on he had was black and this person said no Mark Paul would never do nothing like that no no no you're mistaken him you're thinking that somebody else
Starting point is 01:28:04 was doing it it wasn't him everybody knows me you know and don't have a criminal record and never been in jail but she had told some neighbors that she saw something looking in the window at her and it was wearing
Starting point is 01:28:18 he had a black face it was wearing a black hoodie and had black pants on he thought it was some man looking in the window well you know after about a year and a half ago after I done some I never give it any thought I just said no you're out of your mind
Starting point is 01:28:33 I got thinking about that and that was a big foot looking in her window by what she described it you know black face black hood she gave all the right descriptions of it you know but yeah, we're everywhere around here. My neighbor across the street, I told you last year she shot, shot up in an arrow where I wanted to run it off.
Starting point is 01:28:55 Jeremiah, when I take pictures of these big foots around here, sometimes I take pictures of them in the front yard. I can see them in her yard too on my camera. You know, when I take a picture of some in my yard, I'll automatically capture some in her yard too. Not even trying. Yeah, she sleeps with a loaded yard. and she's had her animals hurt by them.
Starting point is 01:29:18 Oh, I forgot to tell you this, our cat, one that hurt my cat, our cat about a month ago, pulled its hind leg out of socket. Really? By killed. Yeah, our com cat. Our com cat had his hind leg pulled out of socket, and he just barely is getting around right now.
Starting point is 01:29:37 We've had her animals hurt, but like I said, they could kill them anytime they want to, but they won't. You know, they do like us. If they didn't, and they would. cause a lot more problems than what they do, Jeremiah. I want that. Yeah, my girlfriend said she's come to love them. Good, good.
Starting point is 01:29:56 Oh, yeah, like I said, she sings to them. Oh, Jeremiah, one more thing. We heard them last summer, another neighbor up the other end of the road, about two miles from me, his son, his son went and bought a new scooter. This is a wild story. and he'd been riding it down through here for maybe two or three days and you know they'd be, you know what a scooter sounds like. Well, one evening my girlfriend was,
Starting point is 01:30:24 and my girlfriend, she don't, after a big foot started growling at her, she's quit having any kind of, you know, trying to communicate with them. But she got into trying to communicate with them there for a while, and they would, you know, make all kinds of sounds at her and stuff and thunk their chest and this and that and others. and we had just went out there. This was the same day that that peleaded woodpecker. This was the same day.
Starting point is 01:30:52 Same instance, this pleaded woodpecker flew up. And I told you that big foot drawed a picture of it on my house. Well, this boy who had just bought this scooter came down in front of the house on it. And I don't, like I said, he only had it two or three days. Well, as soon as he got out of side on it, we heard another scooter fire up behind the house. and this big foot sounded just like that scooter. These things can imitate anything. Sireen, scooters, I've heard them hoot like owls.
Starting point is 01:31:22 I've heard them barked like a dog with a whoop on the end of it. They go, woo! They bark like a dog and put a whoop on the end of it, Jeremy. Yeah, I've heard them do that. So they can imitate about anything. And I thought that was wild. Oh, yeah, last summer. I was over in my orchard, and I was over there, about dusty dark, putting food out for them in the bag.
Starting point is 01:31:47 And I heard a pushmore, what I thought was a pushmore, fire up behind the house down in the hall there. And at the time, I didn't think it was a big foot, because this is when I first started to find out how good they are at imitating things. So I come in here and I asked my girlfriend, I said, our neighbors that live over on our property line, I said, did they buy a new mower? My girlfriend said, no, nothing I know of. I hadn't heard it. And that's when it hit me. This Bigfoot, as I was walking back to the house, fired up and sounded just like a pushmower being pushed through grass. I mean, identical.
Starting point is 01:32:28 Identical. If you was watching a commercial about a pushmower being mowing grass, it would sound just like that. And that's when I realized these things can mimic anything. Like I said, I don't know what they are. I think they are very close relatives to the guerrilla. They could be, Jeremiah, they could be an unknown. Of course, the government knows and the military knows, but to our civilians, they could be an unknown species of wood ape.
Starting point is 01:32:56 I mean, they could be. I don't really know. I don't want people to beat me up over me saying that, because I don't really know what they are, but I think they could be. The only thing, though, that gets me is the heights. where does that height to come from?
Starting point is 01:33:13 You know? The Nephlin, maybe I don't know. But they, they, you know. You said, you did say six fingers,
Starting point is 01:33:22 so, right? I've got two, I've got two pictures of that and so of you. Mm-hmm. Well, Jeremiah, what I want you to do is when we,
Starting point is 01:33:30 when we quit talking here, when we hang up, I want you to go back to those pictures. I very first started sending you last year. and I sent you that real clear picture. I mean, I'm standing right by it. I took like six or eight pictures of it.
Starting point is 01:33:45 And I mean, you know what I mean? You look at that and what else can you say it is? You know, a handprint that big. Right. And you can actually see the hair coming off his hand into the print on each side of his hand. On its wrist, you can even see the wrist hair down at the bottom. them. And, yeah, six fingers, yeah. And like said, I don't think all of them have six fingers. I think some of them do. Oh, here's
Starting point is 01:34:15 something else, too. You remember those pictures I sent you of that big hood in the snow? I took pictures of one that had three toes. So, you know, there's a lot about these things we don't know, you know, six fingers, three toes. So I would one have three toes. Right. Remember that? I said, go back and look. I sent you some pictures a while back in the winter. And it was a huge print, but it only had three toes. It reminded me of that print. It looks exactly like that print of that Yeti that what's his name took, that British guy took in the Himalayas. The one where he let him do little pickax down next to, it looks identical to that. Mark, have you tried to get any video recordings or audio recordings over last year?
Starting point is 01:35:02 I've got one audio of one. I've got 35 videos. really i've got and that's another thing i can tell too is uh about the um i had to put me in a deal jeremiah about the when i video them there's a yeah i had to put me in some stuff when i video you you yep yeah when i put in when i video them there's a blue uh there's something to do with blue when I videotape them. Like a blue background. I've actually seen, I've got one video where I'm video and one standing next to a big
Starting point is 01:35:48 hickory tree, and the hickory tree next to it is blue. I don't know why. But in a lot of videos, the things that they stand next to or where they're hunkered down, the ground will be blue or the trees will be blue. Well, I don't know if that's maybe some kind of a pigment in their hands. hair or their skin I don't know but yeah I've got 35 videos
Starting point is 01:36:13 well I had over 750 photos but I've never I don't know Jeremiah I don't know how to put any of this stuff online people are going to say why don't you share all that well I don't know how to I don't know I know I know a lot about a smartphone but I don't
Starting point is 01:36:31 know how to I don't know how to email very well I've never needed to you know what I mean. And, you know, the pictures, when you, when you see these things overnight, it didn't no big deal anymore, does? No, I get it. I mean, I can't imagine being in that situation.
Starting point is 01:36:49 And it's like, no big deal there again. You said you have audio recordings? Yeah. Oh, yeah, I've got one good audio recording. It's one that's going like, what? He's like, yeah, I'm going to tell you what made you do it. it was coming a real bad storm here last winter, real lot of lighting and stuff. And I had my phone audio and video.
Starting point is 01:37:18 And I was doing the video when I had the audio on, and I had it up in the window. And a big foot, and a big foot, it was picked black dark. And a big foot walked up to the, you remember there? So a big foot walked straight up to the deck. And he didn't know what his phone was in the wind. window, I don't believe, because he went. Mm-hmm. What?
Starting point is 01:37:43 And that's the only audio, you know, that I have of one. And I'd have anything when we were burning those leaves out there about two weeks ago. I'd give anything. As a matter of fact, to have got that big foot of sounding like a siren, he went from sounding like a real, real loud siren. And, Jeremiah, this thing screamed for 30 seconds. Wow. At least, at least 30 seconds.

What makes bad dirt so bad? The answer? The ingredients. But fear not true crime enthusiasts. This story has a happy ending.
Starting point is 01:38:53 Miracle grow organic raised bed and garden soil. It's made with quality organic ingredients from upcycled green waste like compost and aged bark. Unlike the other guys who can't say the same. Looks like bad dirt's murdering days are over. Thanks to Miracle Grow. Join us next time on Plant Killers. They say everything happens for a reason, but I suspect everything happens for a Reese's. Like this commercial break, did you need 15 seconds away from music?
Starting point is 01:39:19 Or 15 seconds to eat or Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a Reese's. That's a long time for something to scream. Can you imagine a set of alarms on these things? Yeah. It went from a loud, it went from a loud fire truck into a screech, a loud screaming scree. like something, like somebody being tore apart.
Starting point is 01:39:39 But he started off with a loud siren lock. And then it went into a streak after that. But I'd give anything if I'd have had the audio. And I told my girlfriend, I said, you know what? Next time we burn leaves, I'm going to bring the phone out here. We never thought nothing about the phone. That's a good idea. Yep.
Starting point is 01:39:57 And I told her, I said, Sonia, I'm going to bring my phone out here next time we burn leaves or next time we decide to come out after dark. And I'll guarantee you, I'll get something on it. But, um, Jeremiah, oh yeah, one last thing, Jeremiah, anybody, like I said, Jeremiah knows my phone number, and if anybody wants to come to my house and be a big foot, you're more than welcome. I welcome.
Starting point is 01:40:21 Anybody who wants to come and tell me that I'm full of it, you're more than welcome to come and spend a few hours with me after dark. And so, and then we'll see who's on nothing up. Absolutely. Absolutely. Jeremy. Thank you for having me on the show, Jeremiah. It's been a pleasure and an honor.
Starting point is 01:40:41 And is there anything else you want to know? Well, maybe I might have a few more questions. When you hear the wood knocks, is there a pattern to them at all? Yeah. Yeah, there's a pattern to all of them. They normally, well, I'd never heard of wood knock until 2010. That's when I heard my first wood knock here. And at that time, I thought somebody was behind the house.
Starting point is 01:41:10 You know, this was back in 2010. I thought somebody was behind the house cut the tree down. And it was real loud. I think it knocked like six times. And I went another 10 years and didn't even know what it was. But yeah, there was a pattern to them. And like I said, Sonia went down in the woods with me the day four years today, hunting mushrooms.
Starting point is 01:41:31 And as soon as she said, I love you guys. As soon as that come out of her mouth, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. The last one is always allowed us. Yeah, the last one is always allowed us. And I heard one, I had one of the wood knock at me early this morning. I was hunting mushrooms early. Now, when me and her went back out this evening together, we didn't hear no wood knocks. But here lately, I've been hearing them every time I get in the woods, and there is a pattern to them.
Starting point is 01:42:01 And they're about maybe, I would say, 100. yards away, maybe about 100, yeah, way down in the hollow behind our house. Have there ever been any missing people cases around your area over the years? Yeah, yeah. Okay. There's been quite a few, as a matter of fact, the north of here on the Kentucky, Tennessee border and Clay County, you can look it up because I have. there's about four people that went missing in the same area of Northern Clay County, Kentucky border.
Starting point is 01:42:41 It's in Northern Clay County right there at the border over the last few years. And like I said, I looked it up. That's how I found out. Yeah. Well, they was a guy down, you remember, I don't know, I think we might have discussed this last year. They was a guy, I think I might have discussed it with you in a text. They was a guy down here last year on Dalai Lowe Lake that drowned in a canoe
Starting point is 01:43:03 Or not a canoe but a kayak Okay And he was with some guys Yeah he was with some guys And you can look this up too And you know they hushed that up They wouldn't never give a reason for his death Jeremiah Yes
Starting point is 01:43:16 Let me tell you, you got a few minutes I'll tell you about it He was with these guys They were like four of them camping out And he gets up and decides to go along His kayak to the boat dock and so he's going for a beer run is what I heard and so he gets close to an island down there
Starting point is 01:43:38 Pine Island that's right up from the reservoir he gets up to Pine Island and he beaches his kayak at Pine Island and people saw him that's how they know he beats his kayak there people saw him in fishing and fishing boats and he was never seen since okay here's what's weird about it
Starting point is 01:43:58 Yeah, he's never seen since until at about 6 o'clock the next evening. When the game wardens and everybody was called out down there to search for him, they shut down operations at dark. Now, why would they do that? That's one thing that's fishy. They basically made that statement. You can look it up. They basically made that statement open.
Starting point is 01:44:26 They didn't try to hide the fact. and they said that they shut down operations at dark because of the wildlife. That's what they said. They shut down operations on the first night hunting for him at dark because of you to wildlife. Okay. They went back the next morning and hunted for him all day with sonar. Game wardens found him, bloated, I think, in 10 feet of water. And they have never, they've never given an autopsy.
Starting point is 01:44:58 And you can't find out anything about any bodily injury or anything. They just basically put a lid on it. That's just right up from the trout hatchery, Jeremiah. Oh, wow. That's a fact. Yeah, look that up. He was killed last summer on Bell Hollow Lake in Clay County, Tennessee, Salon, Tennessee.
Starting point is 01:45:23 And they said they shut down operations at dark due to wildlife. You know, when I first read that, I go, do the wild life what kind of wildlife would make them shut down and then it hit me then it hit me i know what made him shut down at dark and like said the next morning they went out again at daylight they said as soon as they got light the uh the search party were wanting the action again and that's the last you hear of it they won't you can't they put a lid on it they wouldn't they nobody ever found that what happened to him wow
Starting point is 01:45:56 Yeah, you can't, again, no autopsy. They claimed, I know they've done an autopsy, but they would never release it. Right. Nope. Mark. You know, no more detail. I've got two more questions for you. I really appreciate your time tonight.
Starting point is 01:46:12 I mean, I feel like we could talk forever, but I got two more questions for you. Oh, we could, Jeremiah. You know, hold on those questions right quick. I want to ask you something before I get it. I noticed in a post the other day on the U.S. You said that if you get a certain amount of subscribers that you would have the capability of going to locations and, you know, looking for Bigfoot and go to people's house and stuff. If you ever get that opportunity, I would love for you to come here. You would have the time of your life.
Starting point is 01:46:48 Yes, sir. I mean, I mean, it's a perfect example of a type of situation I would like to look into. And yeah, Mark, what you're talking about is, you know, I'll talk about it for a few minutes. So, you know, I'm working towards being able to go full time with the podcast. And if I get, I figured it out if I get a certain amount of Patreon subscribers. And I think it's like pretty much a new goal is 700 new. And I think we're up to like, we just got like five the other day. But yeah, that's the main goal is to a lot of people, you know, they have.
Starting point is 01:47:25 things going on and I want to be able to actually see it and see with my own eyes and be able to talk to them face to face. A lot of people won't talk unless it's face to face in person. We treat we treat you like family and you would get all the recordings you wanted if you came here. Yeah, I appreciate that. Yeah. Hey, you would get every recording in the book.
Starting point is 01:47:46 All you'd have to do is go out here with us after dark and build a little fire and just let them come to you. You wouldn't have to go looking for them. they'll come to you absolutely i appreciate that i appreciate that i'll keep that in mind um so what questions yeah the the last two questions so number one uh has there ever been a bigfoot related story you've heard over the years in your area where if it happened to you uh you would not be going back out into the place where it happened um i've never heard you know, Randy, the guy that lives behind me now or so,
Starting point is 01:48:31 he's told me about a few, he said they got all his chickens. They got 35 of his chickens last year. Wow. But I've never heard of, yeah, now when I first, to answer that question, I'm not afraid to go in the woods. I go in the woods here lately every day looking for mushrooms, but I'm not going to do it after dark. But these things are afraid of humans in the daylight.
Starting point is 01:48:54 But I'm going to tell you something. After dark, they're not afraid of humans. Wow, yeah. They don't like us for some reason. You know, they don't like us for some reason or another, but they don't want anything to do with humans from what I've gathered, being here around them, you know, 24-7, but they're scared to death of us. But now after dark, their fear goes away, fear at least.
Starting point is 01:49:20 Yeah. But in the daytime, you know, in the daytime, they keep their distance and they're scared of death of us. But I've never heard of a story other than Randy. Of course, my neighbor over here, you know, she shot at one last year. Right. Or not that one. She brought up in an hour to scare one and all.
Starting point is 01:49:35 Right. And, uh, no, I've never heard of a story, Jeremiah that I would be afraid to go back into the woods. And I was afraid last year when I found out what they were. I didn't go in the woods for a little while. I was, you know, I was still kind of filled out. I remember that. I still kind of feeling out.
Starting point is 01:49:51 Yeah. I'm still kind of feeling out because I didn't know how that. dangerous they was. But then I realized after a short period of time that, you know, if they wanted to hurt me, that could have hurt me, you know, 25 years ago. Absolutely. But no, I'm, I still, I don't hunt anymore, but it's not because of them. I'm not afraid to go out and get to a tree stand with a high-powered rifle, you know.
Starting point is 01:50:11 If I hunted again, no, I'm not afraid to hunt because of it. I'm glad. I'm glad, yeah. Yeah, I'm not afraid. I'm going to woods every day around here, you know. Exactly. Exactly. You know, if I take a notion to.
Starting point is 01:50:26 Last question. Like I said, yeah. Oh, sorry, go ahead. Yeah, anybody wants to come here and experience Bigfoot, you're welcome. Welcome. I'll treat you like royalty. You can get all the night sounds you want, and I don't think that they will retaliate against me. You know, I don't think by bringing, you know, that's something you've got to keep in mind.
Starting point is 01:50:49 and, you know, if you have someone come to your place, see, we don't never have no company. And you always have to buy in mind. Sometimes if you wish to bring people maybe somewhere like here, they might retaliate against you after having a bunch of people here, you know, taking pictures and videos and sounds, but I don't think these would retaliate Jeremiah. These are pretty peaceful creatures around here.
Starting point is 01:51:13 Yeah, that's a tricky thing, you know, when you introduce something new into the, the scenario and it's like you know if people take you up on this they're pretty much you're taking they're it's on it's on them you know it's like you can't guarantee what'll happen exactly if it's peaceful or not but um and and you know I wouldn't think nothing what happened to us after they left I don't think they were retaliate against us because they like us now my neighbor up the road you got horses a bunch of horses and And he never had no problem
Starting point is 01:51:50 of his horses. Nobody around here I know of, you know, now they've been a few dogs injured. Our dogs have been injured. My neighbor's two dogs have been injured, but they've not been killed. And that tells you a lot right there.
Starting point is 01:52:03 You know, they might throw a stick or something at them and hurt their hips or, or, you know, name them a little bit, but they ain't killed them, you know. And now, and that was last year, they ain't done nothing lately, but now they did get a hold of my cat about a week ago
Starting point is 01:52:17 and pulled its rear hind leg out of socket. But, you know, and we have come home and our cat be on top of the house. We have seen that clock in time. Oh, wow, really? Oh, yeah. What it is, the big ones don't poo with our cat, but these young, these young bigfoots, they're not trying to catch our cat, and I know they have more than once. And I know that's what hurt our cat, our Tomcat.
Starting point is 01:52:43 He's five years old, and I'm going to tell you something. he went back down from the biggest dog on the face of the earth. This cat we've got is fearless. I've seen him back down pit bulls. Tell me about how fierce our cat he is. Oh, yeah. Nothing. Hey, he went back down from a coyote, from a fox and nothing.
Starting point is 01:53:02 But now one of these young big cooks did get a hold of him, though I know for a fact, and pull his rear leg out of his leg and broke his leg too. But I've come home and got a few times when our cat be on top of the house. Yeah, they put him apart. They put him up there. What it is, they get kind of rough with him. I don't think they mean to hold him, Jeremiah. I think they're just playing with you and he bites them.
Starting point is 01:53:26 And maybe they do something to him at that way. Exactly. You know, that's what I think I can go. He got some of me. Yeah. All right. Yeah, Jeremiah, I let you go. I'm going to be on here a little too long as night.
Starting point is 01:53:36 But there's so much to tell and so much I haven't told. Can I ask you one, the one last question, and then I'll let you go. Yeah. All right. Ask me anything. This is a, this is out of life. field. So you obviously have Bigfoot interactions in your area. Are there other things like, I don't know if you've heard of Dog Man or any other things that are reported in your area as well?
Starting point is 01:53:58 Yeah. No. I've never heard of me. I've never seen anything like that or I've never heard of anything like that. Okay. Good. Yeah. That's good. I think you have your hands full with what you got. Oh, I do have. I do have. I mean, it is what it is, Jeremy. They're standing out there right now looking in the house. I mean, we've got the front. Yeah, I have to have this window open in order to talk on a phone or use cell service. If I don't have this window, if I don't have the curtains pull back, I can't get service. So I have no choice if I want to get on my phone.
Starting point is 01:54:35 I have to keep this window open and that's how they see me, you know. Mark, thank you so much. Yeah, you're welcome. And, Jeremiah, I want to thank you. You know, we tried to get, we tried to do this once or twice before and we were both sick. I know, we were. You know, I had COVID once and I was sick another time. And then you was sick.
Starting point is 01:54:58 And so this was our third time me trying to get on you. And I really appreciate it. And I just want you to know you'll always be a close friend of me. Well, I appreciate that, Mark, the feeling is mutual. And definitely. I feel like I've known you along. Yeah. Jeremiah, I feel like I've known you all my life.
Starting point is 01:55:17 You know, of course, we have interacted a lot together. That's true. That's true. Hopefully our paths will cross one day, but Mark, always a pleasure to have you on.
