You're listening to Bigfoot Society and I'm Jeremiah Byron.
In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you firsthand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible.
From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways, the stories come from everywhere.
And each one leaves us with more questions than answers.
these are the voices of the people who've lived it.
So settle in because today you'll hear another account
that just might change the way you see the woods forever.
So stay with us.
All right, Bigfoot Society.
You've got Dave here today.
Dave is an individual.
Are you still from northern Missouri, David?
Well, yeah, from living and lots of activities.
Gotcha.
Dave and I talked a few years ago.
It wasn't for a public interview, but I think it would be great to kind of get Dave's story out there because it's a very, very interesting one.
You've had a lot of activity over the years, correct, Dave?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I had my first sighting.
That was April 2nd of 2012.
And that's where the adventure begins, really.
I live out in the country.
I got 10 acres.
And, you know, you buy an old place.
You end up with lots of stuff, lots of junk to get rid of.
And probably about three-fourths of the property is in forest.
So there's a lot of, you know, there's trees that are down from storms.
there's trees that are just down because they were old and died.
And I bought a wood stove and I figured might as well instead of just put it in a big pile and
woo-hoo burn it up, might as well heat my house.
So I'd been out cutting some firewood in a stand of trees.
It's primarily oak and they were all nice size.
You know, they didn't need to split or anything.
And I'd been whacking away.
on them for, you know, a good part of an afternoon, so I had plenty of it.
I just did all the cutting at one time, and I was heading out with my pickup to go load up a bunch
and, you know, put it in the basement.
And I'm in my truck, I around the barn, and I'm on the hilltop, and, you know, where my property is,
it's kind of, I don't know, it's kind of rectangular shape,
but like the house in the barn or on like a finger of land the way the hill is,
and then it drops off on both sides.
On the west side, right even with the barn,
as the face of the dam to a little pond I got.
And anyway, I'm up and I'm going to go,
because there's kind of almost,
I got like a cul-de-sac to turn around.
So I was going to turn around there and it pulled as close as I could to the trees to, you know, load up stuff.
Well, I'm coming along.
I look and I see a big black, dark shape stand in there right in the edge of the trees.
And I'm like, no, no, no way, you know.
And I kind of turned to.
pay attention to where I was driving
because I didn't want to run over this locust tree
because they got thorns you get a flat tire off of.
Anyway, I look to do that
and do my little loop-de-loop and look back
and it was gone.
Well, I parked the truck
and, you know, I'm only about
maybe 100 feet away from where I had seen this.
and I looked over my shoulder a lot
and I only took about half the wood I had cut
because I didn't know one in it.
And then two days later I went back to look for tracks
and then I realized what I thought was
you know like probably six feet tall
would have been eight feet tall
and I couldn't find any tracks
because you know it was covered heavily
in leaves. The forest floor
you know, you step on it and it's like a sponge.
It'll come back over time.
And I wasn't there soon enough to look for tracks
and I wasn't going to look for tracks on the day that I had seen whatever.
And now what I saw is, you know, it was black.
And it didn't have the big giant broad shoulders.
And it looked pretty much man-shaped.
I didn't see a face.
but its back could have been towards.
I couldn't see any facial features,
but then, you know,
Farm Truck, the windshield wasn't exactly
spotless neither.
So that was pretty much my first encounter,
and I had talked with the game warden,
because I was curious if anybody else seen anything like that,
and he said no, at least nobody that told him.
but he goes, well, they're not a protective species.
So my advice is if you see one, just shoot it in the face.
I said to the guy, you know, what's wrong with you?
I said it wasn't, it didn't threaten me, it didn't hurt me, it didn't do anything other than just being there.
I said, I'm not going to shoot it.
So anyway, I tried.
reporting it and got a hold of some big foot groups and got a hold of this one that
David Pilates is, the Pilates is involved with.
And I met a man named Richard who became a mentor towards me.
And, you know, I just, I thought, you know, I bought this house.
I paid for it.
No mortgage.
I thought everything would be great.
And it's like, well, I don't.
You can't just get rid of it.
You can't just leave.
And I thought, well, I'm not going to live in fear.
Maybe I can make friends with these things.
So I reached out to them.
That's kind of how the adventure began.
And over the years, you know, I had a lot of encounters,
had them break into the house a few times,
raided the kitchen a couple times.
And one night, they forced open the basement door, and my machete was gone.
The next day, I find the machete.
The sheath to the machete, laying on the basement floor,
and the machete laying out in the driveway,
and it's kind of a little bent up from use, but at least it was returned.
And I'd had other things go missing, like,
I had a cigarette lighter and go missing, you know, just a bit.
I had a file go missing.
I had a hatchet get taken.
And I've had a couple of rusty machetes that got borrowed and came back.
And they had, you know, you could see some obvious use of them.
There was a guy living with me for a while, used to help me out and stuff.
One time he had a machete and he forgot it.
And it was by these of the wild grape vines you get.
And it was out there.
And there was one probably about as thick as my forearm.
And he said he seemed that it was cut with one hit through a vine like that.
And then he found the machete.
It was probably about 15 feet from where it had been.
and he found some tracks.
He really didn't tell me about the tracks till later,
but he said they were probably 14 inches.
There was another time we were out on my neighbor's property.
We'd been cutting wood, and he left a machete,
and it was more sword-like than the machete.
It was like a stainless steel made out of some 10-gauge,
which is a fairly heavy metal, you know, as far as the thickness.
And he had kind of hit it on the edge of an oak stump,
and it was like at a 45-degree angle.
Well, when he'd come back to find it,
the machete was in this stump,
which was probably about 14 inches across, red oak.
And there was probably four inches of wood
past the back edge of the machete,
It took in probably 10 minutes to get it and pulled out of it.
Imagine the force it took to do that.
Now, I've spotlighted them a few times.
One time, I was, you know, a lot of what I did was on my back deck.
I had been back there, and I would whistle to the females.
They would reply with bard owl calls.
Now, the thing is, at that time, there were three.
three of them that were making the bard owl calls.
And each one would do a slightly different call.
And if they were birds, you'd think they'd all do this.
They'd all sing the same song.
That's kind of how I figured out that there are three feet and I'd whistle and they'd do their calls back.
And this one night, I kind of heard some motion over by where the old chicken coop was
was. So I hit my spotlight and I saw bright green eyes and on the head and it ducked down.
So then I cut my spotlight and I kind of like one, two, three. And I hit it again. And there it was.
It was standing. It had apparently been over eating black raspberries. And it was, I'm a
assuming it was female. It was about five foot tall, had, you know, real stringy hair.
I guess you'd kind of describe it, almost like a string mop. And the bangs were cut.
There was facial hair, you know, not like a long beard, but there was hair covering the face,
except for all you could see
skin was like
right around the eyes and nose
and everything else was
hair covered
and it appeared that the bangs were cut
now I don't know how they do that
you know might be a piece of broken glass
whatever you know
but they're all like that
it had pretty good head of hair
now to me the head didn't appear
cone like it was more round eyes
glowed bright green
and it was
you know its shoulders were kind of broad
but not overly
and
you know it was
I guess you'd say it was kind of like a
skinny kid it wasn't overly
muscular so I'm assuming it had to have been a female
although I didn't see breath
and it acted like it wanted to go on all fours,
but I think it had a handful of berries.
So it was kind of going between standing up right
and wanting to walk on all fours.
And it went off towards where an adult female had been calling from.
You know, just stuff like that.
Another time, it was about 10 at night.
and I heard where it sounded like somebody was maybe messing around with some stuff that might have been my neighbors.
He parked, oh, he used to do the Demotion Derby and stuff, and he parked your car.
And he had a car trailer, and he was an old camper and some stuff kind of right along the property line.
But being a good neighbor, I went to go check and went down Spotline and didn't see nothing, turned around.
in their driveway, I backed in so I wouldn't shine my lights in their house or anything.
And on the way back, where there was a clearing, kind of right by the property line,
I was spotlighting.
And I saw something.
And when I stopped the truck, the dust kind of come up.
And in the spotlight, it was kind of hard to tell.
I wasn't sure what the heck I was looking at.
But it was big.
And as dust kind of went,
went down. I seen it was an adult male and he was probably about 40 feet from me, black. The skin was gray.
And again, all you could see of his face was the golden green eyes and the gray skin, you know,
right around his nose and eyes. And again, he had a thick head of hair. He had trimmed bangs,
you know, that'd be trimmed about to his eyebrows. And he was on.
on all fours.
And on all fours, I'd estimate his head was probably eight feet off the ground.
And his arms were like, I'd say his arms were as big around as me, and I'm not skinny.
I'm kind of fat.
You know, well, I mean, I can fit into a 34 gene, but I got a pretty good belly.
So I'd say his biceps were probably, you know, pretty close, 34, 36 inches around.
And I realized what I was looking at, I laid my 357 on the seat
because I didn't think it would do me any good.
And I tried to talk to him.
He looked really nervous because he'd look at me and then he'd look ahead.
And he'd look at me and he'd look ahead.
And I just kind of said to him, I said, you know, can we live in peace?
I said, I don't want to hurt you, and I sure don't want you to hurt me.
And then he just real gracefully moved on all fours and got on to my property and I pulled forward a little bit,
try to get him better look, you know, keep track of him.
and I couldn't find it.
So there was kind of a dip there.
He could have laid down or he could have went downhill towards my pond.
I don't know.
I pulled up in the yard right up next to the house and went inside.
But I've had a lot of other things happen.
I've been hit with infrasound before.
Didn't like it.
The second time it happened, they got to hear my mean voice and it didn't happen again.
but I've had researchers out here
and they've all had different things happen.
They might not have seen them,
but they were either hit with infrasound,
they got some wild recordings.
They went around, found different tree structures,
trees twisted off at about nine feet above the ground
and stuff that was obvious sign.
They were all convinced they were here.
I've had some return.
I've had some.
I don't ever want to return for different reasons.
You know, it's just been kind of a wild and crazy adventure.
There was one that I got to pretty much watch till he reached maturity from my estimate
and where he was when I first seen him, he was just a little kid,
probably five years old at six feet tall.
And he grew, I would say six inches.
inches a year until you reach maturity.
And then once he hit adulthood, I haven't seen him.
And it's been probably four years.
But he used to come around when I go back and forth with the girls in the calling and stuff.
And I caught him peeking around the edge of my garage, you know, 15 feet away.
And I believe he's the one that went into the house.
I believe he's the one that used to borrow my stuff.
we've caught him petting my dogs.
My dogs were familiar with him.
They weren't afraid of him.
You know, they'd given him away before where I caught him in the spotlight going away
because dogs run to the side of the pen like they're all excited, wagging their tails,
you know, like pet me and kind of barking a little bit, it wasn't a fierce manner.
It was like, hey, I'm over here, pat me.
like they're happy to see somebody so he befriended my dogs and a lot of those kind of stories
Dave it is it is a fascinating story I have definitely a few questions I want to ask you about
you know what you have brought up so far you mentioned that your your thought was well maybe I
can make friends with them were there were there ways that you think
were effective, were you able to make friends with them, or how did you go about that?
Well, I mean, we like buddies or anything, but I'm not afraid of them. I'm not afraid to walk up
to them. You know, I started out with, you know, kind of trying to take a Gene Goodall approach,
and I left some goodies and stuff out for them, and they'd take them, and I tried a lot of
different stuff.
And I actually had the female sing for me once, and that kind of freaked me out.
You know, it sounded almost like, you know, it was two of them, but it almost sounded like
a tropical lovebird song or something.
I thought, oh, no, have I been too nice and kind?
And I thought, well, what if one of them snatches me, you know, and brings me home?
what's daddy going to say and if he don't approve I'm a dead man.
Right.
Exactly.
You know, it was kind of scary in a way, you know.
But I tried different things.
And like one time, what I did is a full of gross, but you know how women are like if
their man's out of town, they'll keep a dirty t-shirt of his and sleep with it just because
It smells like him.
You know, it was summer, and I had this t-shirt.
I was working outside, and, you know, you'd sweat in it until it was wet.
And then you'd go in the house and get a fresh, clean, dry shirt because the one you were wearing, just, you know, a full sweat.
Well, I'd let it dry out and put it back on the next day.
I wanted to get my scent on it really good.
So I did that for three days in a row to where I, you know, sweat till it was pretty damp and wet.
And then I kind of left it laying on the log where I'd leave them goodies.
You know, a lot of times I'd have like a stew can or something.
And I'd leave them a little bit of whatever I was eating, a little bit of dog food on it.
And they'd take it.
and I let this shirt just to see what would happen.
And what did happen was, you know, I found I had had the shirt.
I had one of those T-handle shovels, you know, for digging dirt,
and I had it in the dirt so that the shovel was standing up.
And I kind of had the T-shirt hanging on that.
Now, when I came back the following day, the T-shirt was over on this big log, oak log that was probably 30 inches across.
It was laying on its side.
And it was where I was putting goodies out for them.
Anyway, the shirt was all wet, and I thought, hmm.
So I picked it up and smelled it because I wanted to see if, you know, maybe a male peed on it or something.
but no it was all wet
and as best I can figure
you know
after three days of wearing it
was kind of stinky
so I think they must have went up to the pond
and kind of rinsed it out
and put it back
back there
thought okay
you know I mean it's all
experimenting and communicate
trying to communicate
and that's just something I tried
another thing I did is when I put stuff
out for them, I would often have raw eggs in the shell.
Now, it seemed like if they got to it, you wouldn't find any egg shells.
And if a critter got to it, you'd find shells there because, you know, like a raccoon or fox or coyote or something.
they're going to just eat the eggs right on the spot.
Even a possum or skunk.
They're going to eat them right there.
They're not going to carry them off or save them something.
They're just going to gobble them up to where they find it, you know.
So it's pretty easy to tell.
And, you know, that's something that the Bigfoot are only able to get seasonally,
unlike us, and ringed by eggs year-round.
They can't.
So that's kind of a treat to them, especially when you give it to them.
When you take the time, they can't get it.
I had a lot of other different stuff happen.
Sightings about two weeks ago, my wife and I were out on the front porch.
She had said that when she like sit out on front porch a lot of times,
and she's been collecting kitty cats since she came.
here and anyway she likes watching the cats and just sitting outside enjoying the weather and
anyway she's been noticing a tree line across the road something black moving around she's about
between three and four in the afternoon she told me i should come out there and check it out
anyway i went out there and i grabbed a set of binoculars and as i was in the doorway
I looked across the road and I noticed there's one tree.
It kind of looked like a head peeking around.
And that's something I've noticed before when they were around
where you don't see them move until they think you can't see them.
And out of your peripheral vision, you'll catch movement.
Sometimes you'll see a young one that'll go from hiding behind one.
one tree and then it'll go to the next tree
and they'll stand there
and then they'll just lean back and that's so
you know I can see you with one eye
I've seen that before
and this was kind of like that
where there was one probably hiding
and a juby hiding behind a tree
looking and they do keep track of us
and everything around
because where I believe
they live is not too far from our home
I've never been there
because I ain't going to go there
Because the last thing you want to deal with is, you know, if they happen upon one that's sleeping or something, you don't want to startle it.
Because if it panics, who knows what can happen.
When things get bad.
So you got to watch what you're doing.
I would agree with you.
Has there ever been a time when you have felt like you're in danger on your own property, or do you think there is a common understanding back?
and forth between you and them?
Only two times.
Now, once I got hit pretty hard by an adult male with an infric sound.
And I don't know if there's a telepathic component to it or not, but I'll give you a description of what it felt like.
It was like anger and fear, hatred and doom all rolled into one directive.
yet if that makes any sense to you and you know with the infrasound it made me physically shudder
and i could tell it was an adult male because i could smell him and what i smell him kind of had
you know what a sweaty horse smells like yes if you take that and the real sulfury smell
like burnt smokeballs
and then top that with skunk.
Now, I found the only ones that have the skunky smell
are the adult male hunters.
And think of it like a bow hunter
that goes up in the tree
and they put on their masking agent
so that they don't smell like a predator.
Well, I think Bigfoot's used skunk
as a masking agent
so that when they're hunting in the woods,
you know, deer smells skunk.
Deer says, well, skunk don't eat deer,
at least not live ones anyway.
So I'm okay.
And, well, then they run into somebody
that is a lot bigger than a skunk
that'll grab them and make dinner out of them.
But, you know, he hit me with that.
And, like, twice.
and I tried talking again.
I said, you know, can we live in peace?
I'll be honest with you.
I thought, well, this big old going to try coming after me.
I had my 357 magnum, and I had my Ruger Mini 14 across my lap with a 40-round mag.
I sat there like that until the sun come up before I went to sleep.
you know it's not getting hit with interest sound is not a pleasant experience and it can leave you rattle
but i found out from the experience of somebody else that got hit with it when i was here i want to do
a test i've heard that if you go to sleep it's the best thing that you can do as far as shaking the
effects of it.
And so I had him go to sleep and I left him sleep for like an hour.
And I went, I woke him up, you know, to see if he was still feeling the effects.
And no, they were gone.
But he thought that it was like five or six hours later as far as how he slept.
So, I don't know.
So anybody listening?
if you get hit with it,
it could be kind of harmful,
so you might want to just go and do some sleep
because it kind of gives your brain a reset,
and then the effects don't last for a long period of time.
But now another thing is I've talked to people that we're out
out in the woods looking for Bigfoot.
And they've described to me
would be considered missing time.
And, you know, not just 15, 20 minutes or something,
like two to three hours of time,
they just can't account for or know what happened.
And I don't know if, you know, how to explain it.
I think there's a strong possibility that it could be,
you know, somewhat like the people that describe getting abducted,
you know, they're always having missing time.
And,
well, me personally,
you know,
as far as like a Bigfoot UFO connection,
I'm kind of skeptical on that.
I think, you know,
in advanced species,
we'd look at them and look at us
as just another number.
And when they talk about how
people said they saw a bigfoot come out of a UFO
and then it acted like
they weren't even there and walked right past them
well to me that sounds very much like
a typical UFO abduction
that people describe
and
they go like they're told to go through the woods
and go to a certain place and go back home
or whatever.
And it's almost like they're in a
hypnotic state.
And I think
when they described it, it was one time
and you hear people
talk about it like
there's been many
people who have reported
seeing a big foot come from
the UFO, but I believe it was only
one. And it just
gets circulated a lot.
I used
to be kind of heavy under the Facebook.
groups and stuff and anymore it's you know you get one fake thing after another and it just keeps
getting posted and recycled over and over exactly and then it pretty much becomes law in the
bigfoot community like oh it's always been like this well probably not just probably as you said
someone said it one day and then everyone started repeating it the individuals
that have been on your property,
the other researchers,
I believe you said other people have had
infrasound too.
Is what they experienced the same
as what you've experienced
when it comes to infrasound?
Well, now these one guys,
they went down to the end of the dead end road
and it was probably about 4 in the morning.
And when they walked back,
there by there was a little bit
of an opening in the trees
because they'd come through
and did a bunch of logging and had a sawmill set up and stuff.
And that 10 acres, it's next to mine.
There's a bunch of logging trails and stuff through there.
And I believe the Bigfoot use those because, well, let's face it,
just like deer and everything else,
they're going to take the path of least resistance.
And if you've got these big wide paths, you know,
that the skitter made for the skitter to drag logs out,
that's pretty easy to get through the woods
and then you're not dealing with all these prickly briars
and black raspberry bushes
and all that other crap
you can just get around good while there was a spot where those were
and when those guys went by that they got hit with it
now the one guy he described where
he felt his eardrums
kind of go, you know, like he was exposed to being like by a bass speaker.
And the other fella just about did a nosedive on gravel road.
That's how hard it hit him.
So make out of that what you will.
That's what happened when they got hit with it.
Wow.
And one guy, he came back a couple times, the one that's.
said he just felt like a bass sound.
And I'll give him credit.
He went, you know, I kind of described to him what I thought,
where I thought they were using and whatnot.
I've had a lot of knee trouble over the years.
And this year, they took my leg off above the knee.
After noon, the surgery is trying to save my leg,
I just kept having infection issues and just got to the point where I lost the leg.
Sorry to hear that, too.
Anyway, I had a, well, that's life.
What are you going to do?
Yeah.
You either quit or you just keep moving forward.
So anyhow, that happened.
It sucks.
A fan of nerve pain is unlike anything you could believe.
But I'm doing the best it can.
I only got awake, waiting to go to therapy so I can learn how to walk all over again.
Yay.
And I can get back to life.
But anyway, I was, I kind of told him where to go.
And the guy come back, he'd even ended up not paying attention to his surroundings.
and ended up with one of them locust thorns went right through the bottom of his shoe and into his foot.
So I had to do a little.
We had to doctor him up a little bit, pull the thorn out of the bottom of his foot,
put a little bait of dine on there and give him a little band-aid.
My goodness.
He went around, he said he found tree twists, a lot of, you know, your different tree structures.
and stuff like that.
He didn't find any footprints.
And now, why not?
I've only ever been able to get two footprints
that I felt were worth wasting the plaster to cast them.
I mean, there's people out there,
they'll cast anything,
whether it's even remotely looks like a footprint or not.
I mean, they,
It just kind of sort of has that shape.
I mean, some of that stuff, it's like,
wasting a lot of money just going out and plaster casting stuff that isn't worth doing,
in my opinion.
I mean, if you can't see toes or an actual foot shape, what is the point?
I don't see that.
I agree with you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
So this last period of time before you get your, let's see, let me think of how I want to say this.
So the last few weeks since you've had the removal of half of your leg, things have still continued to happen?
Well, they live around here.
Sure.
They live around here year around.
So, of course, I mean, any time it gets towards night, you can go out and sit on the front porch and you can hear them.
You can interact with them.
They usually come through a couple times tonight, you know, once going away from their home, and then as it gets towards morning, they come back.
You mentioned that the researchers also have been able to record sounds at your property.
What kind of sounds are they recording?
Well, the one night when they went down to the dead end, close to 4 a.m., and they got that.
You know, everybody wants to call it zapped, but that's more like if you were hit with electricity.
And anything to do with sound, it's a blast.
You know, like when an airplane breaks a sound barrier, you know, it's a sonic boom or blast.
You go out and with a call for predators, they call it call blasting, don't they?
So I call it getting blasted.
Anyway, they had gone down, and when you got back down here, you could hear the males going off.
and setting off all their little groups of coyotes.
And you hear probably 30 coyotes and six males going off.
It's quite a sound.
I said, well, I said, you pissed them off now.
But, you know, it almost sounded close like to 50.
But I know from over the years that each of the males
the adult
animals, the ones that hunt.
They all have domesticated
coyotes and they all have
five each
for some reason.
That's the number that they have.
And
I got a friend that I let
hunt out here.
He bow hunts
and he's into that.
One time he was into
looking for
turkeys.
And he heard a couple of them, he thought, oh, I'll go get ahead of them.
Well, I don't, I think somebody else was also hunting turkeys.
Because he went down this little dirt path that goes down to the creek between my property and the property next to me,
which I've got some of great neighbors.
Anyway, he went down there and he said about 50 yards to the west.
of him, he heard a whistle, and he described it as being like three breath long.
Then he went, the other, he heard a return call from the other way, and it was the same, you know,
a whistle that was like three breath long. So he decided, well, it's probably a good time to
just back on out of there. But when he, when he, when he heard it.
heard the second one, he said, I looked over and he goes, and I seen five coyotes and they were
walking like in single file. He goes, you don't see that. That's not normal. And he goes, and one of them
didn't have a tail. He said at that time of the year, you know, the tails are, you know, pretty
fluffy and bushy on a coyote. And he said, now he goes, well, one, it could have been a dog, he said,
but the one didn't have a tail.
And so he backed on out of there,
and then there was another time he was here,
and he was kind of walking along.
He likes to look for shed antlers and stuff.
So he was looking along,
kind of along down near the creek that goes through.
It's one of them creeks that the only time it flows is when it rains.
You know, it's kind of, I don't know what you call it,
dry creek or whatever.
But he figured a good place to go looking.
He was down there.
And he just happened to notice there were two of them together,
further up the hill, ducked down behind a big briar bush,
watching him.
So when he seen that, you know, he just kind of pretended like he didn't see him
and decided it was a better time, you know,
if they were going to be there, he'd leave.
I had another guy.
I told him to go out to the barn to get something.
And he went out there to get something.
And discovered that he wasn't alone.
I don't know how good of a look he got at it.
But there had been one, I don't know if it was sleeping back there or what,
but it was in the barn.
and it rushed out
and
he said
he came back
to the house
he was pretty rattled
it was probably about three years
three years or so ago
and
I mean he was pretty pale
visibly shaken
God that thing's got to be
at least a thousand pounds
and
he's never been back
and anyway
then about a year ago
the guy that cut my lawn
went back to the barn
because he had a flat tire
on his trailer
where he had his lawnmores on
and he was wanting to
change his tire
and he was having trouble
and he was going to look for a piece of pipe
in the barn to use as a cheater bar
to bust loose of the lug nuts
so they could pull a wheel off
And he went back there and he said something come running out of there.
He didn't really get a good look at it, but he said he felt the ground shake from the footsteps as it went out of there moving really fast.
And he's never been back here.
And he's this big so-called patchkin biker dudes.
Well, you don't think it anymore.
and he discovered that I wasn't just making up stories.
Absolutely.
Go ahead.
It's very interesting.
So you have at least two different times where they have pretty much chased people away from the area of the barn, it sounds like.
They didn't really chase them away.
They just got foot, you know, the people went back there and a big foot flushed out of
the barn.
One time, I got a post out there that I put in the ground where I was going to put a
gate and put up a fence.
Anyhow, it's just a post there.
I ended up taking like some aluminum and coming down with two rows of the aluminum
and going around the post by the top, kind of like a predator guard because, you know,
they can't really get a lot of grip on aluminum with their toenails.
And that way, if I put something on the post, that it'd go to who I wanted it to
and not just get gotten by, you know, possums or raccoons or something.
Anyhow, I had this, well, this pulse could be visible from my porch.
Or, well, I guess I'd call it my back deck.
It's not very big.
It's about 10 by 10.
It's where a lot of my stuff that I've done took place.
place.
Anyhow, I used to get them stuff in a red folder's can because that way you could put it on top of that post and, you know, then I'd call to them and bang on the barn, you know, kind of like ringing the dinner bell because the barn has tin siding on it.
So, you know, noise carries pretty good in the forest.
So they'd come and they'd take it and I've observed them before.
like for instance one time and there was a guy stand there with me and it probably took me a while to figure out exactly which night I recorded it on to try and find it but we observed where first there was a female and I would imagine her child and then they were joined by a second female and
and I didn't see her having a child.
And they took the coffee can down, they set it on the ground, and they just shared.
You know, something like an eight, they're greedy.
One of them would have just grabbed it and run off with it and like,
the heck with the rest of you, I got the goodies, you know?
But it wasn't like that.
So that kind of, in some ways, let me figure out how,
more about their behavior and how they just share everything.
Well, they kind of expect us to live by the same standards that they do,
even though we don't.
But that makes any sense, too, yeah?
Absolutely, so it sounds like you're observing some situations where there's definite intelligence involved.
Well, they're highly intelligent.
if they were stupid
they'd be caught, wouldn't they?
True.
How many of them have we caught?
You know, I think
the military's probably
snatched if you
wanting to make a super soldier
like the Russians tried to do with eight
but it didn't work.
You know,
recently I've come to a conclusion
that, you know,
a lot of people
are going to say,
oh,
that's just kind of crazy.
Well, I don't think so.
When you look back on those clay tablets
that they found with the cuneiform
over there in Iraq,
they tell about the Hananaki and stuff,
well, if you get into the actual story
of the Hananaki,
they came here,
apparently to mine gold to somehow make a repair to their atmosphere on their planet.
Okay.
That's the story we all know.
But it also says that when they came here,
there were about 300 on Nakke,
and I'm assuming a few royals,
which would have been Enki and then Will the brothers.
and then, you know, I don't know how many others that were royals,
but it says that they brought with them the Igigi that were a race designed to do the labor.
So basically they were slaves.
And it also says that when the Ironaki left our planet,
that they took.
some of the Igigi with them.
Okay.
So what became the ones that were left behind?
I believe that that's what we call Bigfoot.
I believe that they were former slaves with Ananaki.
Because if you look it, a lot of it fits.
The Ananaki, the males were said to be between, you know, like 12 to 15 feet tall.
okay an adult male bigfoot how tall are they 12 foot
g why non-in-naki were said to have a cone-shaped head
a lot of people describe bigfoot's as having a somewhat cone-shaped head
if you're going to want to mine gold it would be good to have somebody who's strong
and it would also be good to have someone that can see extremely well in the dark
well unlike any of the other higher primates bigfoot's
the only one sees in dark as good as we see in the day.
You're super strong.
That would be useful in a worker.
They do have some telepathic abilities.
And I think that would be extremely useful in when you get directions on tasks to do,
to better comprehend what you're supposed to do.
And, you know, just different things.
I mean, it all fits.
You know, if you don't think that they are, well, change my life.
Right.
It's an extremely interesting viewpoint, for sure.
I think there's enough stuff that fits where it could certainly, you know, I lean pretty strong
and that that's what's going on.
And that's where the origins are.
Because in the story, it talks about
how the Ananaki were overworking the EGG.
And they rebelled because they were being worked so hard.
And the Ananaki ended up giving them their freedom
approximately, you know, a little over 200,000 years ago.
And that's where we came on the scene.
So, in my opinion, the people that are doing all this DNA,
they're looking at it wrong.
They're looking at it through the wrong end of the scope.
They're trying to think that these bigfoot creatures are some type of a human hybrid.
I don't believe that at all.
I believe they're an older species.
Therefore, they could not be a human hybrid.
However, it does not mean that we do not share a common source of DNA.
I think when they came here, they upgraded a lower primate from their world,
modified them to suit their purposes.
And then when they came here and they decided to give the gene,
their freedom. I think they took, you know, something that was already here and used their DNA to
upgrade it. And what the scientists are referring to as human DNA, I believe comes from a source of an
Anunnaki. And I believe Anunaki most likely created us. And we were created to take over as being the slaves.
but instead of call them a slaves, well, they call themselves gods.
And if they kind of build into the DNA worship gene,
then you work for free to please your gods.
So some of that all kind of went on.
I think there's a lot of our past history that's just plain missing.
Oh, I agree with you.
I mean, sure.
Library of Alexandria being burned.
I mean, that alone.
Think of how much history was lost.
It's incredible to think about.
You've mentioned a few times about telepathy.
Is that anything that you have experienced yourself
or any type of communication back and forth, you think?
I believe I had a female come to me a couple of times in my dreams.
And a lot of times it was as an observer,
where it'd be, you know, like a girl.
But she was real, like an odd ball, you know, didn't know,
didn't have the correct mannerisms and was just kind of like somebody totally out of place.
But the one time I said, you know, it pleases me when you guys are here.
You know, if you want to use my barn to get out of the weather, I don't care.
That's fine.
I'm okay with it.
And when I told them that I would kill my own kind to protect them, they didn't like that.
They didn't like that at all.
And that was probably, you know, when I said that there, I think that was the last time to come to me in my dreams.
But my sense was it was a young female.
But I'm a little bit of an impasse, so maybe it makes it easier for it to happen.
I mean, I've actually, in my sleep, been able to get into other people's dreams before the next day you tell them about their dreams.
And they're like, how could you possibly know that?
It's like, well, I was kind of in the same dream.
And I've had a lot of weird stuff happen over the years.
like when I was 19
I lived in a haunted house
I didn't see anything
but you'd hear voices a lot
voices like
someone in the next room
having a conversation where you hear
that there's people talking
but you can't make out the conversation
I wasn't the only one you'd heard that
in a haunted house
and a lot of other people
one time when I was living at the same house
you know like I said it was like 19 and it was after the bars closed and my friend was dropping me off
and you kind of standing in the parking lot visit in a little bit all of a sudden he goes look look look look
when I looked up and we saw something that appeared round metallic didn't have any lights didn't make any sound
fly over the city kind of above our heads we only seen it for about three sets we only seen for about three
seconds, but I don't know what it was.
I would call that a UFO.
I mean, it wasn't like something that come down to the ground or anything like that,
but just seen that pass by.
So I don't know.
I just seem to find myself in the right place at the right time sometimes.
Dave, you really have had a fascinating life in that area so far,
and it sounds like it's not really.
Not really stopping anytime soon, I would say.
But I just want to say thank you for sharing what you've encountered so far.
It's probably going to increase.
Because I plan on purchasing a sawmill,
and I'm going to get into cutting and saw a little bit of lumber
and doing some firewood.
because at my age
I'm 59 years old with one leg
who the hell's going to hire me
so you got to make your own job
so if I'm going to be running chainsaw a lot
and whatnot I'm sure
I'm going to be getting observed quite a bit
now I've gotten pictures of them
I've only got two pictures
and they're not very good
I didn't know they were there at the time
it's just you know later
you go through reviewing your pictures
that you took on your phone on your computer
computer.
And, you know, these newer phones don't agree with me.
So I just got an old flip phone and it's got, you know, two inch square screen.
So if you get a picture of something, you know, you got to put it on the computer so you can blow it up and look at it and see if there's anything there.
And that's how I've ended up with some in a couple of pictures.
and it was from when I was out, you know, chainsawing.
People go, oh, why don't you wear a GoPro and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I'm kind of the opinion as well, if you don't like me doing things the way that I'm doing them,
just go bother somebody else.
I mean, I'm out in the woods, cutting firewood.
I'm not looking for Bigfoot.
And if I take a picture of something that I think is kind of neat or doesn't seem natural,
I won't do that.
So I take a picture with my little
phone and that's, it is what it is.
Had I known they were there at the time,
well, I probably would have tried to get closer
and get a better picture.
But I didn't because
when they see you looking towards them
and they just freeze.
And you know how that is?
Like you get a bunny rabbit, he'll freeze
and you really don't notice him until he moves.
right?
They're really good at that.
And you'd be surprised at
how little
vegetation and whatnot
it takes for them to hide.
It really doesn't take
a whole lot because they're dark.
They're a shadow.
And people go,
you have all these pictures.
It's like, okay.
Let's see.
Let's start out with
you got something that's black,
active at night,
and hides in the shadows.
Okay.
Let's see how good a picture you got.
When you don't have any pictures, I said exactly.
There you go.
There you go.
If you want to have something to do with Bigfoot,
I mean, one of the things I would recommend is when you go into the woods,
announce yourself.
You know, like do a loud, you-hoo.
you know, like you'd do if you were walking into somebody's house and you wanted to see if they were home, right?
Youhoo.
It shows respect.
And that's the way, I guess, where you'd call it the beginning to having better encounters.
Where if you were going into an area and they were acting a little bit hostile, but let them know that you're there.
and if it's at night,
why are you roaming around the woods in the dark at night?
I mean, what's your,
you got dogs and you're hunting raccoons.
I mean, that's one thing,
but, you know,
if you want to go around and see what you can find,
when you're not going to find all the neat tree structures
and different stuff like that in the dark.
You do that during the daytime,
and at night you make a camp,
you have a little bit of a fire and you stay put.
If they're around, they'll come to watch you.
And you kind of go from there.
And one thing that I found where I really gained a lot of respect is by not showing fear.
Because they have fun with us because, let's face it, most humans are pretty spook really easy.
Oh, you throw a rock the size of a fist.
And they think it's being thrown at them when it landed 20 feet away.
No, they just do that to spook you so you'll go and not be in their territory.
They're not trying to hurt you.
They're not trying to harm you.
They're just kind of saying, get the heck out of here.
That's all that is.
I've had things thrown near me, not at me.
Never at me.
But the guy who is living here, a lot of times they'd pick him off with pebbles.
Well, of course, he'd do a big old twitch and freak out and whatnot.
He was kind of a fat guy.
And just watching him move around was kind of comical.
And one night, I don't know what he was doing, but he said he went down the road.
One of them pitched a pebble and picked him off.
And he went to move and fell down.
And he said he heard one of them laughing at him, which I think is kind of funny.
That it really does make a difference, I think, how you react to when you're experiencing things for sure.
There's, there's many different ways to react to interactions.
You know, my wife, we've only been married for, well, come out pretty quick on four years.
but she was i don't think she was here for two weeks and she had her first sighting and was gifted
she had gone walked over to the neighbors and when she came back on the gravel road there was a
pile of golden berries and she looked over to the woods and she saw what she described as a gray one
with a big old beard, she said she pretty much just seen his head and face.
And then she said she kind of took like a submissive posture.
And she picked up the handful of goldenberries that were left for that were not there when she walked to the neighbors.
And brought them back home.
And, of course, once she got inside, she tossed them in the trash.
But, you know, golden berries are?
I've never seen those.
Well, most of the time, there are those berries where they kind of almost have like a leaf sack around them.
And when it gets into the fall and colder months, the green berry on the inside turns a yellow color.
And the outside, you know, it's almost like a leaf sack around it.
And I'm sure you've seen those weeds before.
Yeah, now that I look it up.
Yep, yep. Now I know exactly what you're talking about.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
But they're edible and they don't get ripe until, you know, fall and stuff.
And I think this was probably like in November when she was gifted,
but when they came in the season.
And I've also found evidence of them farming mushrooms, turkey tail mushrooms.
Across the road, there's a property.
and there's a pond, and down near the pond is what you would describe as a teepee structure with four uprights.
The uprights are probably about 20 feet tall winged into a cedar tree, or I think it's actually juniper.
And one of them was covered in turkey tail mushrooms.
Now, why I found that suspicious is because actually what was standing upright was only half of the tree.
that was there.
It's like it was broken at about the middle,
and the part that was standing up
was covered full of turkey tail mushrooms.
Now, the log that was laying on the ground
didn't have any.
Now, that's not normal because if it,
you know, if you get a tree
and it's got mushrooms growing on it,
it's usually growing on the entire tree,
not just on the half that's sticking up and the other half got nothing.
No, that's not normal.
So to me, that would suggest that, you know, they rubbed spores on there to get the mushrooms to grow there.
So that would implicate farming to me.
I don't know what's your opinion on that, Darren.
You know, that that has come up other times on the show as well down in Virginia.
there's a
researcher that has been looking into
that. And I think there's definitely
something
something to that for sure
doesn't sound too wild
to me. And I think there needs to be
more looked into that by
researchers. But
Dave, I think we might need to
maybe have a follow-up in
a year, see how things are
going, but I do appreciate
eating chat. Yeah.
No doubt.
Hit me up any time.
All right. It's been fun chatting with you today, and we will definitely be in touch to see what happens with you in the future, sir.
Okay, sounds like a plan. All right. Bye.
Hey, Ryan. How's it going?
Hey, how are you?
Great. Are you coming up to share a story you have tonight?
Yes, sir. Back in, gosh, it's been probably four years, so I'd say 2021.
I used to go almost every weekend to Shannon Doa State Park in Virginia up around Waynesboro or the Stanton area.
And I happened to go up there one day by myself, probably about four or five o'clock.
I went to one of the trails that was one of the waterfalls that was only about a mile off of the main trailhead.
Made it to the waterfall fine.
I stayed a little bit longer than I should.
Sun ended up going down. I lost the trail and was lost for about 12 hours.
And over the course of the 12 hours, I had two Sasquatch that I saw very blatantly in my field of vision.
One stayed to my left. One stayed to my right. I felt as though there were more, but the only two I ever saw,
because I didn't even have so much as a flashlight
because I didn't intend on being out there that late.
The best I could describe it is I felt like they were pushing me out of a certain area
and they never let me stray from a certain path.
Because I literally, they literally had rescue drones and a helicopter patrol in the area
trying to find me because I called my wife about 7 o'clock and told her,
hey, my phone's fixing to die.
I'm lost off the trail.
You need to call park and recreation right now.
And yeah, the two that I saw were at least eight feet tall if I had to judge based on how big some of those trees are.
I never felt as though they were trying to be aggressive to me,
but I definitely felt like I was in an area that they didn't want me in.
and every time I'd try to stop, they would get closer and closer.
I'd see them moving in the tree line to my left and my.
And that carried on over the course of about 12 hours.
I ended up not getting found until about 5 a.m.
And needless to say, as much as I liked going out there,
I've never gone back by myself.
Like I said, I used to go out there every single weekend to the skyline drive.
Blue Ridge Parkway area.
And there's tons and tons of stories that you'll hear coming out of there.
People that have stopped along the way at night, taking pictures of the sunsets and hear
the call, the whooping calls and all that stuff.
But best I can say to anybody is, please don't be in that area after dark, especially
unless you have somebody with you, because the ones that I ran into, I definitely felt
as though it was some type of territorial issue.
So I try and forewarn anybody of that area.
And the funny thing is, whenever the rescuers finally found me,
they honestly thought they were going to just be looking for a body at that point
because I got lost probably about 8 p.m.
My wife, I said my phone's fixed and die.
You need to call the Parks of Recreation right now.
And they didn't find me until about 5 a.m.
and one of the rescue guys
I distinctly
I distinctly
remember telling him
there was something out here
in these woods with me and he just looked me in the face
didn't even bat an eye and said
yeah they're out here
and I just
I felt baffled by the fact that
there there's so many people
that go to that area
and to let people go in there
and not be warned, it just blows my mind.
Wow, what, man, I am so just, I'm baffled that you're alive after that, too.
That is intense.
So this is Shannon Doa National Park, you said?
Yes, sir.
It's in Virginia.
It's towards the Waynesboro area.
You have an area called Skyline Drive, which is along the Blue Ridge Parkway, where you can, it's basically for the car,
and it just goes all along the scenery of all the out the overlooks and i'm not going to give exact mile markers
because i don't want people going out there to that area but all i can do is give people warning that
they're there and you don't want to be caught out in the dark i don't know how i didn't fall off the edge
of a cliff or something and that's why i say you could look at you could look at it that they didn't
want me in the area where you could look at it that they were making sure I didn't die
while I was out there until they came in there and found me.
Absolutely.
And how close were they to you, do you figure?
Oh, God.
At one point, maybe 20, 25 feet.
Every time I'd try to stop and rest, I'd see them from the, I'd see one on my left and
one on my right.
and they just edge closer and closer towards me.
Definitely had that really foul odor.
But I just, I honestly never felt like they intended to hurt me.
I honestly felt more like I was in the area that they didn't want me in.
And that went on over the course 12 hours.
The only reason the rescue guy said I was even found was because he stopped to pee.
and I could see him way off in the distance and was hollering and the guy happened to stop and pee
and thought that he heard somebody hollering and they came in there and found me.
So I don't know if they were leading me towards where the rescuers were.
But yeah, I've never gone back out there by myself.
I'll put it that way.
Yeah, I don't blame you.
It almost sounds like they may have been doing that.
Were you able to see any details about the face of either of them or how they looked in general?
I didn't have flashlights or anything.
Luckily that night was pretty much a full moon, no cloud cover.
So you had a lot of white light shining down.
And both of them were at least eight feet tall, very long hair.
their faces looked more like an old Indian, really, and then just tons and tons of hair matted all down around their face.
I would have thought it was a person had it not been for the sheer size that they were.
Okay, so you were getting more like this is some kind of human lives.
Yeah, but besides the fact that they were over.
eight feet tall yeah i got to have a pretty good look at them and i wouldn't want to do it again every
everybody thinks that you want to have this close encounter then i can tell you from experience
to have them that close and the fear that you have i wouldn't wish it on anybody i have
i have nightmares to this day i've never gone back out there by myself
it's not what everybody makes it out that oh it's just some great experience to get to see these things
it's not it's really not absolutely you get that from i've talked to other people
in person and it really does affect you it incredibly does do you remember anything about what this
smell was like that you were like it honestly if you've ever been around an area where you
smell something dead in the woods that's about the closest that I could describe it
it almost smelled like they were bathed in something that it just died it was a very
overwhelming smell that's an
incredible amount of time to have them so close to you and walking along with you in a way.
Were they making any sounds during that time?
They seemed to make some best I could describe it as some clicking and chattering sounds.
I could, it was almost like, it was almost like the one was speaking to the other,
and that kind of went on back and forth.
They never did any extremely aggressive sounds.
but it was more like a clicking and clacking sound that they were doing with their teeth.
And whenever they would do it, one would move or motion in closer towards me.
And when the other one would communicate back, then the one on my right would move a little bit further.
And they never got any closer than about 20 or 25 feet.
They stayed out of that range.
Just they stayed right there.
close to me, but they never got closer than about 20 or 25 feet, but 20 or 25 feet's pretty close
when it's something that's got that much size advantage on you.
Were they doing anything with their hands, like any gestures or sign language or anything I thought?
No, sir. It was mostly just these little clicking noises that they seem to be doing with their
teeth with each other.
That is extremely interesting. That is.
has come up in one or two stories that I've taken where it was like a clicking type noise of the teeth.
So that is pretty cool to hear.
Wow.
Thank you so much for coming up and for sharing.
I'm glad that you were able to get through that crazy 12-hour time period and that search and rescue was able to find you.
Is this a conversation I could put on my Bigfoot podcast that I have?
Yes, sir, that's fine.
All right.
Thank you so much for coming up.
I am going to go ahead and follow you just in case I have any other follow-up questions, if that's all right.
Yeah, and one of the funniest things that I found with the whole situation, I don't know if I said it before, but one of the rescuers, whatever I spoke to him, I asked him, Point Blake, other stuff out here that shouldn't be, because I didn't want to say,
I didn't want to sound like a crazy person saying that.
And the guy looked me right in the face and never about it an eye and said,
yes, sir, there's lots of them out here.
We see them all the time.
And at that point, I just felt baffled that they know that they're in that area.
And they're not forewarning campers and visitors and stuff.
I'll never understand that aspect of it.
I know that they don't want to put that out there and lose people coming to the parks and all that stuff.
but if you know that they're in an area like that,
and the guy never even batted an eye,
he didn't question what I said.
I feel like they just have to do a better job
with letting the public know what's going on.
I would agree.
I would say the truth needs to get out there
and people need to realize what is actually going out there.
So I'm totally on board with you.
But just to double check,
you are okay with this being put on the podcast.
Yes, sir. People need to know.
Absolutely.
I've tried to let as many people and friends and family know as possible.
And because it's a scary thought to know that they're out there in the woods that close to where campers and hikers and people go each and every single day.
That area in Skyline, Skyline Drive and going to those overlooks, there's probably hundreds.
and hundreds of people that go through that area in the spring and summertime because there's all these hiking trails, there's waterfalls all along that route, there's all these overlooks that you can park your car and take pictures.
And for the sheer amount of people that are going through there, the public should have some kind of warning.
I agree 100%.
Ryan, feel free to reach out if you have anything else you need to talk to.
but thank you so much for coming up, man.
Before we wrap this episode, I want to say something directly to a very specific group of listeners.
If you're in the military, any branch, or forces, and if you've seen something that no one can explain,
or if you're a national park ranger or forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet,
if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground,
or if you're with the FBI, a federal agency, or working intelligence,
and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about.
And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder,
who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense,
if you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field or trucker with government contracts,
and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul,
and if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract,
who has found evidence you're not allowed to report,
if you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat,
and you saw something that shook your faith,
or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or anything with clearance,
and you've seen what the public hasn't,
then I want to talk to you.
Even if it's anonymous,
you can reach me at Bigfoot Society at gmail.com.
The world needs to hear what you've been forced to carry alone,
and you're not alone.
You've got the story.
We've got the mic.
See you in the woods.
