Ran into Gabe on Facebook a few days back, and he said he's got some. interesting stories to share of his time out in the woods and things he's experienced.

How's it going tonight, Gabe? It's going really well. This is new for me. I've never done anything like this before, so bear with me. All right. Well, Gabe, I'll have you start the story where you would like to. All right. I guess you have a little bit of background.

The area where a lot of these experiences are happening, which they're still happening today from what I understand, where in northern Indiana is where the majority of my experiences took place while scouting for deer and deer hunting. So I guess the first time I was, it was me and my ex-wife and my two kids were on a nature trail. There's a 3,000 acre public land close to where we lived. So we would go and we would walk through the nature trail. And it's a pretty extensive nature trail. It probably takes an hour or so to walk through it. It's just a big loop.

And we get to the bottom. It goes down a hill and goes around and it's really thick and dense. And we get to the bottom. And I felt like something was watching me. I just, I didn't feel like we were alone. So I stopped and I pulled my binoculars out and I had them go on. And I started looking and I can't see anything, but I still have this feeling. I've been in the woods a long time.

From the time I was a kid and I know when something's not right and something wasn't right. So I sent them on ahead and I stayed down there for a little bit and I kept looking around and glassing and still didn't see anything. So I caught back up with them. And the feeling got worse and worse. And I told my ex-wife, I said, just go. Take the girls and just go. At this point, I'm freaking out. I hadn't seen anything.

I hadn't heard anything with the feeling. So we get up to the vehicle. We get up to our car. And there is the most horrendous smell I've ever smelled in my life. and her and I looked at each other and she says, what is that? And I just said, you know what that is. And that was my first experience there.

And I would say probably, well, 2008 was when I had my eye opener. I was, I'd set my tree stand up. I was when I did some scouting for deer season. And I'd set my tree stand up on the corner of a creek. and a swamp. And I was out one morning, and my stand was like 20 feet in the air. And my ex-wife was in a blind,

probably 50 to 75 yards behind me. I had her tuck back up and it was blind. It was probably right around sunrise. And I hit my bugger on. And I heard something splash. on the other side of the swamp. And I could hear it coming through the swamp. And I wasn't thinking anything else but deer.

So I can hear it. I can hear it coming through the swamp. And I'm like, all right. So I'm not getting ready. And I hear it come out of the swamp. And I can hear a bunch of rustling. And there's a real dense ticket, probably 40 yards away from me. And you can't see into this ticket.

and it's so thick. And I hit my grunt again, and it stopped. And that's when I heard something hit the ground and roll past me. And I'm like, what the heck was that? I just blanked it out and I'm like, all right, there's a deer in there. So I hit my ground again. Sure enough, it happened again. I couldn't see, but I could hear it.

hit the ground and roll past me in the leaves. So daybreak came and I didn't see anything else. Nothing else happened. It was just calm and quiet after that. And when I say calm, the birds didn't wake up that morning. It was so eerily calm in the woods that morning that two days later I wouldn't move my stand. I just, I don't want anything to do with that area. I just got out of there.

As a hunter, it was so off-putting to you that you actually moved to a different hunting area. Oh, absolutely. Oh, yeah. Wow. Yeah, because after all that happened, in the moment, I was like, oh, that's a deer. But the next, well, later on that afternoon, I was like, wait a minute, deer don't have hands. Something threw something at us. that's when it started

everything started to run through my head and I was like oh wow that's when it all started to click and I yeah I moved my stand after that even to this day I have not gone back into that area

to this day have you looked to see if there's been sightings in that area that you were see that's the thing when I had my sighting when I actually had my sighting when I actually saw one it was in that

area. Okay. So yeah. And then there were two years, well, I've been down here for two years. So three years ago, there was, there were actually two sightings in the same day, about 20 minutes apart in that area. And growing up in that area, my mom had told me stories, but you're a kid and you're like, yeah, okay, whatever. You don't really think much about it. But then as you get older and unexplainable things start happening. You just, I'm not the type of person. It just says,

oh, this is what it is. I try to look for what it can't be first. And then I go for what I try to think of what it could be. And in these experiences, there's only certain things that it could be. is northern Indiana where I'm from, we don't have bears. So if you see something that big, it's not a bear because they're not there.

So it's kind of where, and as far as tree structures and, oh, I have found so much up there. Down here even, every down here in northern Georgia, my girlfriend and I, we like to hike a lot of, up in the mountains and we have found so much stuff. And it's just right on the trails. But when I look for this stuff, when I notice, I don't really look for it, but I notice it. And some of it could be human, but then you start thinking. And it's like, all right, you've got broken branches 15 feet off the ground. Who's going to climb up a tree and break?

branches 15 feet off the ground. So when you say broken branches, describe that to me a little bit. So are you see, are these massive branches that are broken or small guys or? Oh, yeah. These are probably three, four inches around. And they're just broken and just hanging there. Yeah, there's tree structures, tree bends. And what I take these as is their markers for people to stay on the trails.

they've come I feel that they've come to they're not okay with people being there but they've accepted it as long as you stay on the trail and some of these trails there was one it was I'm trying to think

I think it was around the new years of 2021 it was my first winter down here and her and I we decided to go on a hike and it's a quarter mile hike. It's pretty dense area back to a waterfall. You get to this waterfall. It looks like something out of Indiana Jones. It's really, really cool. And we're just checking things out and

walking around and just looking at things and checking out the waterfall. And all of a sudden, she looks at me and she says, I don't feel so good. I'm like, what do you mean? She says, my head hurts. I can't think straight. I just, I feel nauseous. I said, all right, we need to go.

Because I had a little bit of a feeling, but not like that. So we're not running, but we're moving at a good pace out of there. And, hey, she kept going and I stopped. And I heard the heaviest footfalls

I have ever heard in my life. And they were coming up quick behind us. So I told her, I said, just go. Whatever happens, says go, just go, don't look back, just go. And I grabbed the little seek fruit and stuff with us on our hikes.

I grabbed an apple out of her backpack and I threw it back behind me and we just took off. And we went about another 15, 20 yards and I stopped. And everything, the footfalls had stopped and everything was quiet. So I don't know if it took the apple as an offering or what. But, and the further we got away from that waterfall area, the better she started feeling. I don't know. Take that for what it is. But I know what it was.

Sounds like you could almost have been dealing with an infrasound type situation. Who knows? Yeah. Yeah. She's pretty in tune with that kind of stuff. And it's, that was the first time it happened. And it's happened a couple times since. But not to that extent.

So there was another hike we were on. We were going to hike to a waterfall, and the trail just disappeared. We're hiking, we're looking for trail markers, and it's just gone. We're hiking right next to a river, creek, and we're like, you know what, this looks like a good place to stop. I usually take a cigar, and I'll light up a cigar, and I'll sit there and smoke cigar and just chill. and she'll go walk around in the water in the creek and do her thing and we just enjoy nature.

She was on the other side of the creek and this kind of give me chills, but I'm sitting there and I hear this low, low, guttural, grumble, like a growl. And the funny thing was, she's on the other side of the creek and this is where it came from. And it's real thick and the mountain goes straight up on the other side.

And she stopped what she was doing. And she looked at me from across the creek. And we looked at each other and we're like, just staring at each other for a few seconds. And then we heard it again. And she just stopped and she just sat there for a second. Then the, I don't know how you want to put it. I think it was cool.

But we heard two of them chattering back and forth to each other. Real soft, real low. and she said she could hear him in her head. But you couldn't make out what they were saying. Can you describe if it sounded like anything similar at all, any description of what that language sounded like? It was just chatter. Almost like a deep squirrel chatter, almost.

Does that make sense? I don't know how it was to describe it. It wasn't, you could hear the voices change and fluctuate, but you couldn't make out any words. Gabe, have you ever heard the Sierra sounds? Yes. And it sounded nothing like that. Okay.

I didn't want to put it into the story, but I wanted bring it in just as, was it like that or was it not? Okay, so it wasn't like that at all. Interesting. No. her and I both feel that it may have been a couple of juveniles

that were just checking us out and trying to figure out what we were doing there because we weren't caused any problems we weren't doing anything goofy they were just trying they were just

feeling us out is how we feel about it now is this situation here is this in Georgia or is it in Indiana yeah this was in Georgia okay yeah have there been many sightings in that area that you were in? Yes, yeah.

That was, that's up. I don't really want to give the area because, but. I don't know, I just want to leave my alone. Let them do their thing. If I say where it was and there's potential that everybody could go up there. Oh, yeah, that's no problem. I respect you for that. You don't want to, we don't want to mess with them for sure and keep him safe in their

habitat. Yeah. And then I had in Indiana, I had my first sighting. Plan B made over-the-counter emergency contraception legal more than 20 years ago.

That was, that was crazy. I was doing some scouting, and I had a golf cart that I was going, all these, that 3,000 acres that I hunted was their roads going down, going through it. And there's fire lanes. The park rangers had cut fire lanes. to the CRP grass every 50 yards or so, and they go from the road all the way to the wood line.

And then they would go around, just basically to make it so people can get to where they need to go, and so they can get in and they can check for fallen trees and stuff like that. Basically access roads, but they stay out of there unless they absolutely have to go in there. But I was looking, I was going down the main.

main drag and I looked to my left down one of the fire lanes like I always did. I was always looking for deer. And I, it was about 100 yards away and it was massive. It was at least seven and a half feet tall at the shoulders. And it was about two and a half to three feet thickness of the chest. because it was walking across that fire lane as I went by. We were going the same way. And I hit the brakes,

I backed up and it was gone. But like I said before, there's no bears in Indiana. So something that big is not a bear. And that was the same area that they had just a couple years ago. They had two reportings in the same day. And it was brown. It was a dark reddish brown color.

It was getting close to dark. It was still plenty of daylight, but the sun was starting to set. But yeah, that's when I had my first sighting. Did you notice anything about its head at all or its face, or was it just a very quick sighting? It was just a very quick. The fire lanes are only 10 feet wide. So it was probably two strides, step and then step, and it was gone. But like I said,

Something that big can only be one thing in our area because we don't have any bears. Do you remember anything about how it was holding its arms when it was crossing? It was its right arm was back, and I could make out some of the fur on the sides. It was pretty long hair. Yeah. Wow. Male or female? Any indication on that?

I have no idea. Okay. All I know it was big. and here this is some people are going to think I'm crazy for this but

the area that I lived was probably a mile and a half from all this and there was a swamp that was connected to it and my ex-wife at the time she was

very skeptical and it was about 11 o'clock one night and she was out on the porch and she comes back inside and she says, you need to come out here and listen to this. And I'm like, all right.

So I go outside and I can hear screams. There were screams coming from the swamp. And the swamp is connected to this hunting preserve. And shortly after I had that siding, I was sitting in my living room. And about 10, feet up the wall on the outside, I heard, wham, something hit the side of my house.

This happened two different times at about 2.30, 3 o'clock in the morning when I was sitting up watching TV. Now, 10 feet off the ground, and it just, I don't know, I personally think that after, that they knew I saw it, and they were letting me know that they knew, that's what I think. but I don't know. That freaked me out. How did that make you feel to know that you see the guy in the swamp, the big boy in the swamp, and you live a mile away from that?

How did that make you feel as a homeowner? No, it didn't bother me. I've got guns. All right. I'm on the teeth, so, I mean, I'll protect myself and need be, but it was my opening to say the least. Was that the same after it hit the side of your house with that big boulder or anything like that? He still felt the same way? It was his hand.

I think it was just a slap. It was just a slap on the side of the house. Just letting me know it happened twice. That's even wilder, Gabe, because they could have been outside listening. And then all of a sudden they're like, all right, time to give them the warning. And there's slam, slap. Yeah. Is that why you left that area?

No. And we won't get it because... Don't feel like you have to get into why, but I was just curious if they were related. Oh, no. No, I had that, but yeah, I've seen, I've found a lot, like I said, a lot of tree structures, a lot of tree bins, just some crazy things out there. Now, I want to go back to, let's go back to that night when your ex, I believe, your ex-wife says to come out, listen to the scream. Can you describe in any way what that scream was like if you've ever heard anything like it or what it reminded you of?

It sounded like a woman, like a woman being tortured. It was just a loud, high-pitched scream. And I mean, it made my skin crawl when I heard it. And after that, we do have bobcats, but they're not very prevalent. And I pulled up a fox. And Fox was close, but not close enough. And I've never heard anything like it before my life. So as far as that goes, I think it could only be one thing because it was, it was loud.

It was so loud. I've never heard anything so loud in my life. And that's the difference, right? That's what I usually hear is that it sounded this one way. But the thing was is that no other creature could make the sound that loud. It would need to have a huge diaphragm, a huge set of lungs behind it in order to do that. Exactly. Yeah.

And if it would have been a fox, it would have been muffled because it would have been on the ground. in underbrush thicket this wasn't you could tell this was booming is that the only time that you heard vocalizations around that property that main time with the screen yeah okay

yeah that was the only time I heard that there yeah and then the chattering down here in Georgia which was pretty intense that was crazy that's a lot Gabe that you definitely have gone through some stuff.

That area with the chattering and everything in Georgia, because you're still down there. Do you ever go back to that area? We're planning on it. We're planning on going back. We haven't been back since. Yeah, because we try to hike. When we go on these hikes,

we look for hikes that are out of the way. We have all trails app. And we pull it up. And if it says you may encounter a lot of people, on this, it's a very popular trail. We avoid those. We don't like them. We go to the ones to say, this is not a very popular trail. You probably won't see anyone.

And when we go on these trails, we don't see anybody. So, they're not, some of them are pretty much goat paths. You have to try to find your way through. And luckily, I have enough experience with finding

game trails that I can, I can keep finding the path. So that's pretty helpful. on some of these. And some of the things that we found on these trails, like I think I see a picture of the handprint. Did I send that to you? I believe you did, yes.

And the footprint, we found a footprint. I found two footprints, a handprint, all kinds of stuff. Yeah. Now, I'm looking at them right now, actually, Gabe. And the handprint is interesting because it's almost, like something put its hand on top of some moss and you can just see where it dragged down and just drag the moss away. And that's going up the side of the mountain.

She actually is it. That's actually her hand. Yeah, that's my girlfriend's hand. And she took the picture. She's one that found it. Yeah. Man. She's sitting here.

I think she's wanting to tell some of her stuff too. Oh, she's there with you. Yeah. All right. Let's get her on then. All right. Here she is. Hi, there.

My name is Tamara. Hi, Tamara. And hi there. I've been, I actually gave and I grew up together in Indiana, but I moved to Georgia in 2001. He didn't move down to Georgia until 2021. So I've been here for quite a long time. I started hiking in 2019. So I'm just hitting that five-year anniversary of being a hiker.

I always hike alone. I hike by myself. I really enjoy just being in nature, being out by myself, being alone. A lot of people, this, I really don't care what people think. There's different opinions on it. But I do practice grounding. Other people call it earthing. Physically just take your shoes and your socks off and you actually connect with the earth.

I do that on every hike. I do this in water. If there's water, I'm getting in the water. But I've been doing this alone. Up until Gabe came down here, I've been hiking alone. So I've taken him back to trails that I've been on before. And it's funny because I've never really, I've heard just being in the North Georgia area, there's a big foot museum up here. And I've heard, oh, there's sightings, there's this, there's that. I just thought I haven't actually seen it with my own eyes. So I don't believe and I don't not believe, but I just, I didn't really have an opinion of it. There was one particular trail that I was on. And this is like he said, I'll use the All Trails app.

I'd like to go where there's no other people. I had made it all the way into this trail. It was about a maybe four and a half, five miles in. It was during the summer. Made it to the waterfall. I was coming on my way back. and I needed to just pretty much get off the trail and I had to pee. So I looked and I'm like, okay, there's a boulder right there.

I'm going to get off this trail. Or since summertime, the grass is almost knee high. Got off the trail, maybe 10 feet behind this boulder and went to get back up. And all of a sudden I was just afraid. I consider myself pretty fearless and brave. Nothing scares me. I'm not afraid to be in the woods at night. I'm not afraid to be alone.

I grew up in the country in Indiana. I used to sleep outside. I'm really not a paranoid or fearful person. So this particular day, and it was funny, it wasn't until a few years later talking to him about it, but I was just all of a sudden just very disoriented. I couldn't think straight. I was terrified. I was paranoid. I didn't feel like I was lost, but I felt like something was trying to get me, which it's not my character. I'm very clear-headed. I'm a rational thinker. I could not find the trail. And I knew that there was this boulder and it was 10 feet this way. And it probably took me 20 minutes to get back on this trail. And my ears were ringing and I was just very confused and my thoughts were foggy. And I couldn't think.

straight and I almost felt like I was drugged. It was just really a hard feeling to describe. And just between being confused and being panicked at the same time, it just took me a very long time to get back on the trail. And I just, what got me there was like, go back to where you hear water because I had followed, I had followed a river going in. And I finally got back on it and just started running and running and I ran for a good mile and I finally started getting more of a clear head on my way out and I was like ah you just got lost you got paranoid you went into kind of fight or flight mode fast forward a couple years later I take him back to the same trail and I'm like this is the trail that messed me up and it's you remember that one it looked like a war zone yeah I will

say this is, I can say this is pretty much a lot of this takes place up in the Chattahoochia Ocone National Forest, which I don't know if you know this area, but it spans a big part of the North Georgia. The Appalachian Trail is part of it. So there's so many areas I hike. It's just a vast forest system. I take him on this trail and as soon as we get in there, he's, okay, look at this. And I remember seeing these things, but not thinking anything of it. When we say trees, breaks and tree bends. We're talking trees that are broken, you've got one side of the mountain going up and you think, okay, if a storm came through and the wind blows, you would think that a tree is going to fall towards down towards gravity, but they're broken in the other way. And some of them

are twisted. They're young trees, but they're bigger around than my arm or my calf. Plan B made over-the-counter emergency contraception legal more than 20 years ago.

They negotiate, coordinate, advocate for you, close the deal with you, and hand the keys to you. They bring you home. Realtor's are members of the National Association. of Realtors right by you. And they're really high up,

but they're bent and twisted almost strategically. And some of them are bent down where they're twisted together and formed a structure. And you're thinking, okay, my mind automatically goes to how could this have naturally happened? Did this tree have fallen and knocking this tree over? And so I always try to just ration it out and think, how could this have naturally happened? And honestly, we've got so many pictures and video stuff.

If it weren't for him coming down and explaining all this to me and showing me this, now this is what I'm looking for. And I'm seeing a lot of stuff that makes me question, you know, just question everything. And I've found one of the footprints. I've found one of the handprints. I've heard the noises from the story he was telling you about when we were. were we had stopped in a creek and he was smoking his cigar i actually was in the water practicing grounding it's you just i submerged myself in water it's almost a form of meditation

and i could hear those voices too and i heard though i do remember him hearing like he said i heard the one and it just sounded this low rumbling growl it didn't sound like words it didn't sound like I know what bears sound like. I've seen bears. I know what feral hogs sound like. I haven't seen them. I don't want to see them. I've seen their tracks,

and then I'll turn around and go the other way. But I know what all the animals of these forests look like and it sound like. It didn't sound like any animal I've ever heard. Do you feel that there were two individuals talking to each other? Or did it sound just like just one individual? No, there were two. Yeah, there were multiple ones. And it was crazy because I'm sitting in the water.

And looking back, you think that would make me just really freak out. I'm hearing this. And I remember because I was on a small waterfall and I was kind of a little, I think I was laying on my stomach. Was I laying on my stomach? I was just letting the water flow over me. And I stopped and I just looked at him and he's looking at me. And I could hear them.

And at first I thought, I can only hear this in my head. And I wonder if he can hear this too. And he could. And I could hear from one side, a chatter. And then I would hear a voice from way on the other side. It was a different voice. It sounded like the same form of communication. It seemed like the same, I don't want to use the word animal, but the same being.

But it wasn't words that were making out. He's just an indistinct kind of chatter, but the feeling that I got, when I say I could feel him in my head, which sounds really weird, I know it sounds strange, but I'm just going to just come out and say it. I just, I felt like they were just, I didn't feel like we were in danger. And I told him that. I told Gabe that. I said, they're curious about me and what I'm doing because I was meditating. I was doing grounding. And I said they were just, they were just, they're curious about me and what I'm doing. And I said, they were just, they're. just curious and they seem surprised to me that's i just i felt that feeling like i could almost pick up an emotion i don't know it was just a really weird experience it's nothing i'd ever experienced before but it wasn't negative like where i was afraid and disoriented and confused and it wasn't like that at all i felt like i wasn't in any harm that i wasn't going to be harm harmed. I felt like it was okay. I just felt like they were like I caught whoever it was off

guard and they were just very curious. So, but still I'm like, you know what, I'm going to get out of this water and get dried off and just keep on hiking. Let's go on ahead and get on out of here. So that was that was one experience and it was really interesting. It wasn't a negative one, but that was last fall. Yeah, that was last fall. Tamara, when you've been out hiking, have you experienced or heard any other type of vocalizations? Or is that the main time that you actually heard something when you were out there? This was the first vocalization that I had heard. And I try to be very quiet when I'm out in about.

I don't hike with groups or any of the touristy, crowded areas. But I had never heard of vocalization before. So it was actually really cool to hear it. And it almost, it didn't sound human. It didn't sound like a bear. It didn't sound, it almost sounded almost like a primate. It's just, it's so hard to describe because it's not like anything I'd ever heard before. And it didn't sound like, it sounded like it was definitely a language and not just a noise.

It sounded like foreign language, but it was just so hard to describe. It sounded almost if a primate. mate like a great ape or a gorilla we're talking. That's the most similar I could get. It sounded a little more advanced. Like their voices would sound like if they were talking, but they were lower in tone and it projected farther away. But it was hard because you've got the water rushing

and then you've got the mountain up and everything bounces off. There's a lot of rocks up in the mountain. So it's hard to tell what direction it's coming from and how far away it is. But it was very distinct. That's the only time I'd actually heard anything. Several times, we recall they get in my head. And so now that when we hike, I'm like the big foot barometer like a. So everyone's looking at you.

Are you hearing anything? Yeah. I actually don't like it because it's not cool knowing what. I don't know. It's when you have a good experience like that, when you're getting a calming feeling like, it's okay, they're just curious. And then there's one where we got chased.

And then the moment we got chased. And that was weird because I had actually got off the trail and I was just chattering on about some kind of flower that was blooming. I think I was like, look at it. And then all of a sudden, And I just felt like I was just drugged again and I felt disoriented and I felt sick. And all of a sudden, I'm like low blood sugar or something. I was like, I don't feel good.

I almost, I was starting to sway a little bit and lose my balance. And I couldn't talk right. And I'm like, I don't feel so good. And then he got a bad feeling. And he's like, we got to get out of here now. And we got out of there and he had to drag me. And it's crazy because something takes over. And you just lose your sense of direction

and you lose your sense of control of logic. Like you're afraid and but you're disoriented and you're stunned. It's not a good feeling. I don't like being the, I don't like being the canary. I don't know if it's because of all the grounding that I practice and trying to be as connected to the earth as possible, environmental hippie girl. So I'm,

I tried to stay very connected to Mother Earth. Nothing wrong with that for sure. Yeah, that's who I am, but there was another, there was a third time, wasn't there? I don't know,

we've been on so many hikes. Uh, kayaking on the kayak trip. Oh, long, yeah, I forgot about that one. Do you want to hear about the kayak? I would love to hear whatever you guys have to share, so go right ahead. Yeah, this was last summer.

Okay. We were kayaking, and we come up to this beach, and she decided she wanted to get out, and she wanted to swim a little bit in the river. Now, this is in the creek, it's the river. So she's on the other side of the river. She's the Etowahua River. Yeah, the Edewa. and she's swimming, just chilling, just swimming,

thinking around, whatever. And I'm sitting on the other side of the bank on the beach, just going to watch her. And she starts getting this weird feeling, and I look up and I see one pull its head back. It was just like you see a tree and then you see a lump move. That was it, like a peekaboo type thing. And then that's when she started feeling her,

feeling that she gets. And needless to say, after that, she shot it back across the river and we kept on going. Like I said, I kayak a lot too. I do a lot of river cleanups where I'm pulling tires out of the rivers. I'm jumping in and out. I am not afraid to be in these rivers up in the mountains. I'm not. I'm always in them.

And in this particular river, I was like walking up the edge of the banks as far as I could. And then I'd jump in and just float down and swim and let the current kind of take me. And I'd go swim and past him. And I'd be like, hey, come on, come in and swim. And he just wasn't in the water to swim. And I'm not afraid to be in the water at all. So I got, I was getting close to the banks. And all of a sudden I was just afraid to be in the water.

And I'm like, I got to get the hell out of here. And kind of simultaneously, he's, He's looking at me like, we got to go. Come on. And he's waving at me. He's, get out of there. Come on. We got to go. And I'm like, yeah, I'm on it. And I start swimming against the current as fast as I can. And I just all of a sudden felt like something was wrong. That same feeling that I got when I was on that hike by myself, that just something was wrong. And I was disoriented again. And I shouldn't have been there. And I just, I was afraid. And that's not like me. and I think in that case you just got too close I did because it didn't happen until I got too close to that part of the part of the banks

I don't know and let's the Edwell River goes through a lot of parks there's some pretty dense forests that no there's not hiking trails in there no one hikes in we were on that part as Dawson Forest right there's not a lot of hiking in Dawson Forest.

And like we were on that portion of the Etowah where you can be on the Edwa, but you really can't be on the Dawson Forest side. There's no hiking. They don't allow you to bank your kayak there. They don't want you to be on to explore there on that side. Yeah, it was interesting that I just, I was fine, just having a good all time

floating around, messing around, swimming. And then all of a sudden I'm just terrified for no reason whatsoever. Have there been reported sightings in that area as well? Absolutely. Okay. And I can say this just by if you go to, have you been to the, I don't know, you're out, you're in a different state. There's a Bigfoot Museum. And when he moved down here, I took him here, and I had been to Blue Ridge, Georgia a million times.

And I've always passed the Bigfoot Museum. and I thought it was just some touristy little gift shop with knickknacks and t-shirts and hats. But I took them there because he really wanted to go when he first moved down here. And I was blown away with all of the scientific evidence and the documentation. But they have a map of the state of Georgia and they have a little pin marked of all of the sightings. And they've got this really great library of, where everyone has actually had actual sightings or experiences. And I'm looking at this and I'm like, holy cow, this is where I hike.

This is where I'm at all the time. Like all of the heavy sightings like around the Appalachian Trail and the Chattahoochia Coney area and this whole part of North Georgia that I am that is my turf. And there's all these sightings there. And I'm like, oh my gosh, this whole time I've been going here all the time by myself alone. Right here all the time, yes, it's a very heavily active area for sightings. We went on this one trail, and the way I took it, they were, the tree brace, or almost like warnings, don't come past this. You'll see them, it's odd.

You'll see them on one side of the trail prominently and not the other. and I'm not sure if you're a hiker. Are you a hiker? I used to be a lot more. I've hiked the Appalachian Trail all of Massachusetts and Connecticut. I grew up in New England, but so I have a history back in the day. Okay. So you know how there's one side and there's the other.

Sure. So when we get on, when we get on these trails, some of them just right off of that. As soon as you get on these trails, one side, which tends to be the side, of the side of the side of where the elevation is going up. There's going to be all of the structures and the tree breaks and the tree bends. And that's where we see that. And some of them as soon as you get on that trail, and it's funny because these trails aren't,

I love all trails because people will complain. They'll say, I never got to the waterfall. I couldn't find it. The trail's not marked. parking lots, it's not marked the forest system, is not keeping up with this trail. Those are the ones we go to. Those are the ones we go to.

You almost forget you're on a plane. And that's the point, because when you fly with Hawaiian Airlines, it's hard to tell where your flight ends and vacation begins. Hawaii starts here. And I used to, before I met him, I used to blaze the trails. I used to bring blazing equipment. I would make sure I got it marked and now I would go back and I would blaze it so other hikers wouldn't get lost. And now, seeing what I'm seeing, I'm like, now I'm going to leave this trail alone and I'm not going to blaze it and make it easy for other people to find. There's a reason the forestry doesn't keep up with it.

There's a reason. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Wow. So now I'm respecting. that and I'm I've stopped blazing the trails and I'll find it and just do the best I can to find these trails and enjoy them yeah like for instance the one that she was talking about where she

had her first infrasound when I went on this trail we got to this one section and it looked like it had just been ravaged. There were trees probably six to eight inches around, pulled up out of the ground, laid across the trail all the way 50 yards for 50 yards. And you couldn't find where these trees just fell over. There were no stumps. There was no root balls. There was no holes where they came from.

They were picked up and put here. There's, there was, yeah, it didn't matter. And there was tree bends, there was twisted breaks. It looked like a tornado or a hurricane went through there. And here's the thing, it was in a valley. These trees were no order. There was no order to it. Like I said, you couldn't see where they fell over because that's the first thing I started doing it.

I started looking to see if these trees just fell over. If they were broken from up top and they just fell down from a day. tree or whatever. These weren't. These were placed here in this area. And it went, like I said, it went on for 50 yards. And it took us 30 minutes to walk through this 50 yards because we had to walk over all these trees to get through this area.

It was insane. Several years ago when I had one on that trail, I took pictures and I had posted it on Facebook and I said, oh, I've got an obstacle course for a trail today. I took him back to it And they were still there And he's like That's no Yeah it was it was pretty intense

I had no idea about we didn't I think it had been done there It had been done a long time ago It wasn't anything fresh But nonetheless it was there It was pretty obvious to me But Wow that you guys have some fascinating stories

You're definitely in an area where Things are going on Tamara, I want to just verify with you. You haven't had a sighting yourself yet, correct? I have not. Okay. I have a feeling one day you will, though. Yeah, I think it's inevitable.

Yeah. Wow. As much as we've, that I've noticed down here, just evidence and signs. Yeah, it's inevitable. We were one of the, when I found my first. track down here it was odd it was almost like it almost looked if you there's deer tracks mixed in with tracks on the trail and to me it looked like they were hurting deer to a valley because the trail kind of went around and there was a like a bowl down to the left or to the

if you're anyways it looked like they were running down the trail hurting deer to one massive area because then all of a sudden the tracks the footprint stopped and then the deer tracks went right down into this bowl and then that was it and you could see where the leaves were tore up you could see dirt torn up it just it looked pretty torn up and you can see on the side of the trail where it looked like a foot was sliding down the side of the trail about every 10 feet. Not to be too descriptive, but in that area, did you find any bones or anything like that? Here's the thing. When we see signs and tree breaks and bins and stuff like that, we will venture off the trail.

I got you. Yeah, I'm not going to push my luck. where because the trails that we're on we're five five miles away from the road the paved road at some point okay so you're in very remote areas too I don't want to get stuck out there yeah you put your phone up and it's there's nothing wow so when we see stuff like that we just stick to the trail and we'll observe and look and but as far as getting off the trail no I ain't happening I was born at night but it wasn't last night. I like that. Gabe and Tamara, this has been a super fun chat. I know it's getting late where you guys are at because you're ahead of me, but man, I feel like I might be talking to you. I feel like you guys are going to have some more situations come up in the future. So I think we need to definitely keep in touch. If anything else happens, let me know, Gabe. Absolutely.

Yeah. I got planning more from Indiana. Oh, you do? Oh, my goodness. Oh, absolutely. You're killing me, Gabe. Oh, yeah. We're going to have to do a part to someday, man. Absolutely. Yeah, this has been fun. Yeah, this has been a good time.

I have a feeling people are going to be saying, when are you going to get, when are you going to get Gabe and Tamara back on? I appreciate you guys chatting with me tonight. Yeah, absolutely. I appreciate the opportunity. The way I see it, like I texted you earlier, the way I see it is,

If her and I can get on here, we can tell our stories. Maybe there's somebody else out there listening that's too afraid to tell their story. Maybe this will give them the courage to come out. And now I feel so bad about it. Who cares what anybody thinks? I know what I saw. I know what's out there. That's all I care about.
