All right, Bigfoot Society. I've got the privilege of talking to Brandon today. Brandon is an individual that reached out to me through email. He's a listener and reached out with some interesting things that he would like to share from out there in the Pacific Northwest.

I'll let him fill in the details with that. But Brandon, how's it going today, man? Hi, Jeremiah. Good. How are you doing? We're doing pretty good. Starting to get a little chilly out here in Iowa, but I think we're going to make it through. So I've been looking forward to chatting to you tonight. So yeah, man, go ahead and feel free to take us back to when this all started for you,

these big foot encounters that you had over the years. Yeah, so when I was a kid, my brother and I would go camping. It seems like we went on a camping trip every summer with our dad. And so we would go up and we would usually camp around Mount Rainier. And one of the summers, and this was back in 1989 to 1990, I was I believe I was 10, almost 11. It was either July or August. And we were up on a mountain, it's called Burley Mountain. mountain and it's close to the closest town would be Randall, Washington. So not far from, you know,

like Packwood and you go up that Highway 12, which runs up to Mount Rainier on the west side. So you got a pretty good view from up there. So we went up there and it was a dry campground up there called a pull patch. And it's, it wasn't, you know, there wasn't really anything I don't think up there to really bring in too many people, you know, where it was located. And so we were up about, I think around, I would say close to 4,000 feet. But I remember going up there and, you know, just a little side thing with like before, when we first got there, my brother and I, you know, I was, you know, as being kids, he was a little bit younger than me. We were out exploring and checking out around the camp. And we found these big boulders piles. And there was like three different

mounds of them and then there was it kind of funneled down in the centers of them and it was all to the ground so we just thought it was kind of cool so we were playing around that which i didn't you know really think much of it then and then we had four nights of camping up there and it was actually my dad so my brother and i and then he had a girlfriend with a couple of kids a boy and to grow so it was all of us. So we had one of those, you know, really common green canvas kind of Coleman tents, you know, back in the 80s. And so it wasn't, you know, like we have now. But, you know, it was big enough for us. So the first night, nobody was there. The second day, nobody had came in. It was just us in the campground. There's probably about eight to ten spots there at the most, I'd say.

It's pretty small. And I remember going, we had a fire going. and I was the first one, for some reason, I was tired, I guess, before anybody else. But anyway, so I went to bed. So this second night we were there, and I'm laying, I ended up waking up on my back, and I'm on the far right side of the tent. And we had the screen open, so you could see out the top window part on the tent. Well, as soon as I opened my eyes, I looked up and I saw this, thing standing there and it was staring down into the tent right really within you know probably a foot

really close to the tent you know maybe two at the most a foot or two was really close to the tent and it was looking downward and it it was just staring and and i started looking at it and it was i started looking at it And it was, I could see a little bit of light still from the fire. And it was, everybody had went to bed. And it looked like, it looked, resembled a man in the face. But it had this long hair. But I noticed on the top of its head, which I thought was strange, confusing too, was it had ears that were sticking up.

and they were somewhat rounded on the head on sides of the head towards the top now but when I started looking at the face kind of analyzing down it it looked it resembled a very hairy man and and it had I'd say about three inch hair dark dark eyes and it just was very it didn't make any expression at all it was just staring and it never even blinked the whole time I was looking at it. But as I was looking down, I could see the thick hair going down its neck and I could see about, I would say, just the upper part of the chest is about as far as I could see. And it was standing there, you know, and I'm thinking it's standing there like a man. And I really thought it was a man, but I'm like those ears are weird.

and I'm like, it's just way too hairy. I've never seen a man look that hairy, you know? So, you know, a kid's perspective, I'm thinking, I don't know what it is. And so I, you know, I was laying there and thinking, am I dreaming? Is this real? Am I dreaming? And so I remember just hearing the wind and the crickets. And I knew it kind of really just settled in that I'm awake.

You know, I am really looking at this thing. And I didn't know what to do. And so I kind of, I don't know, I got really scared, I remember, and rolling over. And, you know, thinking I was right up against the side of the tent, basically, right at the edge of the tent. And I'm like, there's nothing to protect me. And so I rolled over towards my brother that's in the sleepbed next to me and I look over and I see everybody sleeping. And I just shut my eyes and then I'm out.

And I woke up, I know the next morning and I didn't say nothing to anybody about it. I didn't tell my dad. And I remember going out and looking and we had a picnic table. and there was some little marks on some bread that was left out, you know, probably from mice could be, you know, but I didn't see anything mess with, but I didn't, I was confused on what I saw. I'm like, I could see the ears kind of, I'm thinking, bear with that, but it looked way too of a man looking with all the hair and the way it was straight up and down like a person would be standing. And I was like, well, I don't think a bear would be doing that, you know, and, but the face,

was more to me, it reminded me of kind of a typical caveman look would look like in the face. And the other thing was, I mean, it was maybe a little taller than the tent, but it wasn't that tall. So it wasn't like super tall, you know, obvious like you hear some encounters. So I didn't know. I was just like, I don't know what it is, but it really scared me and I knew I saw something. and so I remember on the third night we had somebody come in towards the evening and camped and then after the fourth night we had left and started heading down the mountain and then I said something to my dad and I said I saw something and I told them I don't know

what it was but I didn't mention maybe it could have been you know as a a big foot, which, you know, I didn't, I knew a little bit of, you know, growing up in this, you know, the northwest. But I told him, and he kind of just like was thinking, oh, maybe I'm just, you know, imagining or dreaming or something. And I said, no, I really did see something. So I kept repeating it a few times. And he goes, oh, okay, well, I believe you that you saw something. And so leaving then, you know, and heading back, I didn't know, you know, I kept going over my head and not knowing what exactly I saw, but I was leaning towards what I thought it was probably. But, and I'm thinking to myself, like, well, you know, back then it wasn't so mainstream.

So I didn't know, like, I didn't really have the internet, you know, to jump on. and being so young too, I guess. But so I just kind of, but I did have some relatives that I found out not too long after that, that had encounters. One of them that stands out is my grandma on my mom's side. She's passed now, but she, back in the 70s, she said that her and my grandpa were road hunting up in Aberdeen, Washington area. and she said they were driving along and there was a meadow.

And every time she'd tell the story, you know, because you'd tell her over the years, she'd tell us grandkids and that this hairy long human, where he'd with long arms was swaying its arms and walking through this opening of this in this meadow. But when she saw it, she didn't even know what the, she couldn't even say anything. So they're driving along while they passed it, and got back to the trees and she goes, I think I saw. And then he turned or backed up and it was no longer in the field there.

But they had talked to the locals in the area, she had said, and the loggers that were in the area and said, yes, we do see that one. You know, we've seen it before at different times. So that story growing up. and then an uncle of mine, I actually had one of the big foot things down the road happened with him. He would tell a story that he had seen one walking over, it was over west in Oregon, over and let me see, it's what area was it, towards Hillsboro, but just south of there, it's, I mean, think of the name.

But anyway, he said that when he was in his early 20s, he had seen one around dusk, and it was walking through a graveyard. And it kind of creeped him out. And he'd tell that story over the years. But, you know, I didn't know, like I'm thinking to myself, is there just like so many, a few of these out here, you know, like I didn't understand as a kid. And when I got older, well, let me see, really, actually,

now I want to put this in there because this is something, and that I didn't pay attention to a lot. So when I was, this was probably a year or two before my encounter happened. We actually moved to a town over near Malala, Oregon. It's Colton, just a small little town, kind of between Estacada and Malala. And so we moved on almost five acres,

and it was a base of the Cascade Range there. and it's actually the mountains called Goat Mountain. And so we moved into this old house, and it's weird was things would happen there, and it really didn't add up to anything, but one of the things I think early on was my mom would say that she would hear the back door, a handle, wiggle, and also

rocks, little rocks would come up and hit the back side of their house. Once we put an addition on, so it was after that, so probably a couple of years of living in it, could be a little longer, but anyway, the back of the house, but my stepdad would work graveyard at a bakery, and she said it always happened when he was gone. So these things would happen. You know, she didn't know what it was, but she knew that She could hear the handle moving on the door and then the rocks hitting the back. I think they had a slider, you know, glass window door there in the back.

And I would say about 95 of when we were there, these two Bigfoot guys came up and would ask questions, come on and talk to us. and they were telling us, you know, that these Bigfoot come on our property and they're, basically what it was is we had on the right, or excuse me, the left side of our property from the roadside was all BLM land going down and kind of around. And there's two other little properties that were, one of them in the middle was smaller and the other one on the other side of us on the right. There was those three clusters of little properties. and then it was all BLLM land around us,

except on the other side there was a big acreage somebody had owned. But it's weird was I remember one incident that happened there that I thought was odd and I didn't know what was going on, but I was about 15, 16 on the property. And I remember I was walking up, we had this driveway down, we had a trailer at the bottom, kind of towards the bottom of the property. But he was walking up the road, and there's pretty heavy, thick forest

with a, we had a fence along the BLM side of our land. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. PNC Bank brings you Call of the Wild Money Moves. You hear that? YOLO! That's an internet troll telling you to put all your money into a single investment.

There's no minimum age requirement and you don't need an ID to buy it. You can order it through DoorDash and other major delivery platforms too.

That's freedom to be. Use as directed. They say everything happens for a reason, but I suspect everything happens for a recess. Like this commercial break. Did you need 15 seconds away from music? Or 15 seconds to eat or Reese's? Perhaps it's true.

Everything happens for a recess. So towards the road, it'd be on our left, And I was walking up it towards the road. And it was fall. And I remember hearing what sounded like leaves crunching, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch like that. And I was like, and it was just across from me on the other side. It's really dark in that forest. And I would stop, and it stopped.

And I'd start walking again, and it would start back up. So as soon as I stopped, I'd hear it. crunch stop, you know? So it did that a few times and I just thought something was there watching me and in my head not really knowing a whole lot, then I'm thinking maybe it's a cougar, you know, and then I'm finding out, you know, cougars typically will stock you, you know, from behind on the corner, you know, kitty corner. So I'm like, and then I've heard, you know, then I kind of put together these other reports I've heard of where they were being paced right, you know like just like that and so I had wondered about that looking back if if there was one over there

that was heading up the property now I do know one of the things that really stood out that I remember around that period is when those two guys come up there those guys that were investigators and bigfoot one of them well one of them actually he was a cook at my school or my grade school so he was younger probably, I don't know, probably 10 years younger than the other guy, which he was, he had lived over an S. Decatur, actually. But anyway, they would come up. They came up a few times, but one of the trips up, they took us across street, my stepdad and I, and they, they said, look at this. And they showed us these trees. There were about eight feet up. And the branches, there was probably five or six of them and they were like somebody had took a hand and cranked them

around and around they were all twisted up and they said that they thought you know what they said they thought the bigfoot's were up there doing that and they would show each other their strength is you know what they said now my my step dad was totally did not believe in anything like that which i still don't think he does but you know we had no explanation for that it's like i know no no grown man could ever do with those branches they were thick enough there's no way anybody could have cranked them like that and twisted them and and and they also said that they had rocks thrown at their vehicle when they left they said the last time they were there. And so, you know, I didn't really know what to think, you know,

so I kind of feel like, you know, I did come across some footprints one time when I was about 12. We were playing outside in the snow. It was in the snow. So it wasn't, it wasn't probably real, real fresh, but it did resemble footprints. And we were just being kids, we were playing hide and go seek out in the snow. and coming across this trackway of tracks, but it didn't look like our feet. It looked more like bare feet. But I just kind of shrugged it off and went back to doing what we were doing. But I do know, I did have one, and I don't know what this was,

but I remember, you know, because we had obviously possibly bear. I know we had a cougar because I saw one, a pretty good-sized cougar one time. I was standing out in the driveway. And my uncle and I, one uncle was like, we happened to see this. I don't know if he saw it and told me to come out, but it was just going up the road, but it was a good-sized cougar. And so, but I know my mom had seen a bear cub down the road too one time. So we knew there was bear around, but I did have one winter evening I was outside.

And, you know, I was, I was thinking I was around 15, 60. I had a little puppy, and it was just after dark. And I was just taking the puppy outside, you know, do his thing and come back in. Well, I heard this growl, and it was a pretty deep growl, and it came from across the road from our house in the trees. And I don't know what that was. I thought, bear, bear, you know, I'm thinking to myself. and I went in the house right away and I told my step down I was like well I just heard this real deep growl outside and he's like oh it's probably a neighbor dog but I knew it wasn't no dog

you know I knew it had to been a bear but I think it was a pretty big growl I mean it kind of reminded me but maybe not quite to that level but when and I'm sure you've seen it but finding Bigfoot starts up the beginning I mean but not to quite that level, I'd say. But it resembled that. But, you know, I know that my brother and I, we really, we built some forts outside. And there was a time, I remember in the back of the property, we had a three-wheeler, and I was cutting down, trying to make a trail, and just feeling like I'm being watched, you know, didn't see anything. But I really felt like I was being watched that day. and so I just kind of I didn't know exactly you know about but later on in life I would say you know after that era of my that time you know it really got me as I got really curious and I saw a show on TV and this was probably around 2008 or nine 2008 and it said if you have you have

a Bigfoot sighting, you know, that you can contact. And it was a BFRO, you know. So at the end of this show, and I was like, huh, I was like, you know, I wouldn't mind saying something about this to someone and see if they got anything that I could learn or feedback on it, you know, and what they think. So I did that and this guy had called me up that lived up in a limp. Well, actually he lived in Spanaway, Washington is where he was from, but anyway, he called calls me up and, you know, we get to talk and he wants to know more detail in the face, what I saw.

And then he starts giving me some information that I didn't know about at the time, you know, like he was letting me know about how, you know, at that time I never heard about him going down on fours, you know, running around like that, that they, if you get eyes on them, you may, you know, may not want to look away or anything because they very well could be gone really, really quickly. And so it made me kind of think, wow, you know, I wouldn't mind seeing one again or having some encounters. So I contacted my dad and he lived up, you know, still around the Mount Rainier area. And we had decided, because I had talked to this guy and I was like, well, I'd like to go up in the Cascade Range. You think we might be able to, you know, have an encounter.

And he said, oh, yeah, they're definitely up there, you know, just where, but they're up there. And so we plan a camping trip and this, and I would say this was in, let me see, 2008, 9, right around there. Because it was right before, it was actually right before Finding Bigfoot came out, the first season started. And so we went up, we went up there, and we ended up doing was we thought we'll find a place, where hopefully nobody's at, you know, or maybe where it dead ends up, up. So what I did was I researched the Malala River corridor. And on BFRO, back in that time, there was 30-some encounters. And I'd been in the Malala River, you know, in the summer a little bit,

but I never had really gone up the river, and it goes up quite a ways, you know, up that river. And so we decided, okay, we'll go up there and we'll find a source. spot hopefully, you know, by ourselves and we'll see what happens. So we ended up going up, we did was we went up for, we ended up going up for, I believe, yeah, it was one night. So it was about the middle of the week. It was actually August 22nd, I believe, of that year. We went up there. So we had found a spot. We went way out past the river, actually. We veered off to the left.

We found some roads that went up. And it actually, I mean, probably, as like a crowfly, we were probably 10 miles. We ended up north of Detroit Lake. So it was out there. And so we actually, at the time, had three boys that, and they wanted to go. So I went ahead. And, you know, and the thing was, it's like, one of the things this got investigator told me is like, you know, and this is not that I can 100% anything's guaranteed, you know, but he's like, they're very curious.

And they're very curious. They'll come around, you know, like, you can't just go out and look for them. Usually, normally you want them to come to you. So I thought, and they're curious of especially, you know, curious. little ones, they're more comfortable with, you know, though, little kids, you know, being around, or females, more than males. And so, anyway, the boys wanted to go. So my dad was, we had a conversion van.

And so we went up in the middle of the week, and we got up to the spot, and it was almost dark. It was dusk at the time. We found the spot, a dead end, and we could tell, you know, Nobody can go by us, strad bias, it veered off by itself and ended at the end of this road. So we get out and my boys were, you know, kind of scared, you know, they're pretty young, I guess. And they were like, oh, it's getting dark, you know, kind of carrying out a little bit. And we hung them down.

We got a fire going. And we had, I think we had marshmallows and stuff, you know. The kids enjoyed it. And then we thought maybe we'll do a little, you know, to see what happens after the boys, three boys go to bed. So we got them to bed, you know, in the van. There's a pretty well-used game trail that veers off to the right of camp. It kind of goes out a ways.

My dad decides he's going to go over that way and head down. that a little bit and I was going to walk just walk up the road just a little bit from our place right so there's a hill that drops down I would say 150 feet there's a tree line well I decide well I'm gonna just gonna do I'm gonna try a little call you know just not not too loud but we I actually had bought a megaphone but I'm like I'm not gonna bring that out the kids sleeping you know so So I do kind of a scream kind of down a little bit. And soon as I did that, Jeremiah, I hear something just cruising up the hill. And it's breaking everything in its path.

I could hear all this cracking. And it's coming straight up to me. And I knew when I heard this, I was like, I know. whatever this is, it's big, because it's breaking everything in its path. And it comes straight up stops, you know, right in the tree line there. And I'm standing there just thinking, okay, what should I do, you know? So I do some clapping, put my hands out, you know, I say hi. You know, I'm just gestures trying to see if I get anything. Well, I did start getting this chipmunk, squawking up in the tree and it would go over and over and over like tattling that this thing is

right there you know down below and and so i probably have that for about i don't know probably five minutes or less and then my dad comes walking over to me and he tells me he goes i was over there and i heard this thump like stomp sound that hit the ground hard and then he decided to go ahead and head back to camp. And so he tells me that. And I tell him, well, I just heard something. And it's big. And it came right up to the end of this tree line here and there.

And it's there. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. PNC Bank brings you. Call of the Wild Money Moves. Shh. Listen. Hey, guys. That's the sound of...

And so he's got a night vision, you know, just a regular first generation. But there's an opening between the trees a little bit. And so we're kind of taking turns, trying to look. And, you know, and then, Jeff Mug was still walking off and off. on and then my dad, he turns to me and he goes, I just got hit with with a little like rock, like a bubble size rock and the pant leg. He had pants on like like like you know the army khaki one. So they were you know they were real close to his legs but he said he felt it. And then he goes, but not once twice.

and he said, and I got hit twice in the same spot. And so, and I thought, whoa. So I thought, well, I just felt like, you know, at that point, I know my heart is starting to pick up a little bit, you know, and I'm thinking to myself, wow, well, if this is real and this is really what's going on, you know, I just found it kind of hard to believe. I mean, just going up there and then happening like that, But I thought this is probably real, you know, most likely, you know, because I knew it wasn't a human and I knew it wasn't probably a normal animal at that point, you know.

So we were just listening and, you know, looking back and forth, we never saw anything with the night vision go between the trees. But I do remember then, probably after I'd say 15 minutes, I hear. some movement and it's just barely you know you know I don't think my dad could make it out you know me being what my 20s at the time but you know I could really I could hear something but it was barely it was moving from from the right side to the left towards that other noise that came up there so it's almost and I could hear it just enough to know that it was moving through there and and And then it just, after about, I would say, 30 minutes, the Chima quit. It went quiet.

And so we went back to camp and nothing else happened that night. Well, I know the next morning I was excited to go and get down in the forest, you know, and see if there's any signs of what happened last night. And so there were some dry riverbeds. going up. It was pretty gnarly, thick brush. There was devil's clubs up and down these dry river beds that were going down. So it was really hard to get through. And I had some tall boots and I had trouble getting through it. But I knew that there was no chance that it was a person, you know, going through that at night, you know, because it was, I would say when it happened,

it was between 1030 and 11 o'clock when the activity started happening that night. But I did, I did notice, and the ground was dry and it was fur needles and everything down, but I did make out a footprint that really looked like a footprint, just enough that it looked like a footprint with toes going to the left, like something was moving from the right to the left through there. And so I did end up, I don't know where it happened, but I did have a picture with, I remember what I used for size comparison. But I do remember measuring it and it was, I think it was 14 inch the size that I measured, the one that really stood out to be very probable. And so that was really, I mean, I wish I could have seen more of what it brought.

I really didn't make out too much. And I know I was kind of feeling like a newbie out doing this. But I know whatever that was that came up there that night, had to have been, I mean, it sounded like they were described an elephant. I mean, it sounded huge. And it was just moving at a good pace, you know, up that, up to the top. Now, so we had one night there. And the next day, we ended up staying for part of the day. I know I did find this branch that was right along that game trail,

a tree that went up. And right along that trail, there was a branch that was about, I would say, or a tree that went up. And it was bent over. And it was bent over all the way down. And it was, I would say, a good three inch thick. And it was down, ripped down. And I just thought, wow, that's, if that's, I didn't, we didn't,

see it being natural, you know, and it was, that would take a lot to do that. And so we, so we had one night there and I had to actually go back to work. So my dad, I think he went and hung out with my brother that lived local. And then we ended up meeting back the following week. So we went back up. And I think at that point it was just me and him. No, And actually, the boys were there too again because they wanted to, yeah, go because they, yeah, so they ended up going to. And we found two other locations that were right near that spot we were at. So we thought we would try one of those. So one of them went down because hearing this thing coming up from like the valley.

So I thought, well, why don't we get down in the valley a little bit more where maybe it came from? We were thinking. So we went down this road. I would say about gosh, I would say it's three quarters of a mile down this gravel road that veered off from the main one and down, and it looped around, and then it ended down there, and there was an old, like, logging area.

They had logging road that went up, and it's overgrown. And so we camped out there, and, you know, it was really, really quiet. I remember and one of the night, I think it was, let me think, I think we went up for actually, how many nights was it? I think it was three nights, I'd say, three to four nights. It was at least three nights. And I remember one of those nights, it was getting late and it was really quiet, nothing going on. We had a fire going. The boys were sleeping, you know, in the van. So we thought, you know, maybe we'll just go up the road a little bit up that road and oh you know I got one more thing I

should add before this so that day before this so we had walked up that old road that did that end up there with trees down and stuff so my dad was like you know I'm getting this feeling like we're being watched and and I told them I said yeah you know I actually feel that too. And so we had this weird feeling of being watched. Well, so everything went quiet, you know, that evening until we decided about, I would say, 2.30, quarter to three, somewhere around there. We walked down the road. There was a little creek. So we did some calls, and you know and then we didn't hear anything come back no noises so we wandered back to the camp well we sat down at the fire so we're just sitting there you know probably 10 minutes five oh actually

wasn't even much time at all because we sat down and we're just sitting there and it's probably a few minutes and then we hear this whistle from the woods and it's It's right now about 3 a.m. And this whistle was an attention whistle, you know, right to the T. And I'm like, that was not a bird, you know, and he goes, no. And we knew, you know, the whistle sound, of course, what it was. And so, and I'd say it was, you know, I kind of pointed what direction I thought it was in the woods. And he thought it was actually a different one, but I was pretty sure what direction.

it was from. So we get up and, you know, it gets our attention, right? So we're looking over there. I can't see anything. I actually had a video recorder going, which I think I actually have that whistle. It was on a little Sony handycam, which, you know, I couldn't ever get it, but I think if I hooked it up the speakers, I might be able to get it. But anyway, but so it got our attention. Well, I I knew, we knew that that was not vocals from a bird and it wasn't, you know, we didn't, we didn't not think it was a person up there, right? Because it was a dead end. It was the middle of the night. And so that was weird. And then, so we went back, you know, we, we, we thought, wow, that was, that was something to hear. And then, you know, things ended up dying down

up to that. And then, you know, we, we went to bed. I remembered calling up, that invalding up, investigator guy, because I told him we were going to go camping. I go, hey, so I want to tell you what happened. And so I told him about the first incident, I told you about it. And I told him about the whistle. And he goes, well, you know, it's exactly what it was. It was trying to get your attention over there. He said, more than likely, there was another one around your camp closer. And I said, well, yeah, the boys were sleeping in the van. I wanted to go back up there to the area. And But I really wasn't wanting to go up there by myself. My dad living, you know, two and a half, three hours away, you know,

he wouldn't be able to always get back to go. So I know some time went by, and I had some friends from a church I was going to, and we went on this trip with them. I was to a cabin at Lake, actually. And I was telling them, hey, you know, you know, finding Bigfoot was. on and they kind of washed a little bit of it. And I was telling them, well, I had these things happen up here. And it seems like they're around, it seems, in this area. We actually went up there, I would say, a couple of years. So 2000, if I can remember exact date, 2011, but it was like in

June, it was early enough there was still snow up in the era that we would normally go to. So we really were antsy to get up there. So we ended up going up past the river and then we veered off at a place that it's called Table Rock. And there's a table rock trail on this mountain. And there's actually a rooster rock trail on the other side. So we went up there and we took a right and we went out to the end where a dead end and we decided maybe it was a good place to do vocals and camps. So we wanted to go ahead and just do a camping trip there and check it out. So we ended up camping there, and I remember I was doing calls out into the valley down into the river corridor. Well, around dusk, I mean, I thought this was a little odd, but we didn't really know what to think of it too much.

So there was a dark, like military chopper that was coming low just over the road over the corridor, just going slow up the river area, and then it would turn around and go back slow. And we were like, I wonder what's going on. Maybe they're looking for somebody. So I don't know what that was about. So I think it at least went up, once slow, and then back down through. And I thought, we thought that was a little odd. And then, so later on that night, I had a voice recorder going at camp, and, you know,

I look back and, you know, you think you wish you would have done things differently. Now, this voice recorder was set on sensitivity mode. So anyway, it was going. And all of a sudden, my dad, here's at first, he's like, do you hear that? And I'm like, it was a really sharp pitch screen. And it was like up over that mountain somewhere on top or just on the other side. But it was long, like it would start low, go up, and then it would drop down. So, I mean, the closest to me would be like the Ohio how is what it sounded, how it sounded like.

Now, it went off five times. We were like, that sounds like very sharp pitched, like it's either female. Because we didn't know what else would be. It was just, it was so loud and sharp. And, you know, and I had stopped doing calls for a little while, but, and it just started up like that. And it was 2.15 in the morning is when it started. And so it went off five times. We both agreed it was either female or it sounded like maybe it was teenage, you know.

And so we had a trail cam. After that, it went quiet. So we thought, well, maybe we'll get something, you know, who knows. So we went ahead and, you know, went to bed and next morning. And all we got was a bird, you know, flying in. And that was it. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. PNC Bank brings you the call of the wild money moves.

They say everything happens for a reason, but I suspect everything happens for a recess. Like this commercial break. Did you need 15 seconds away from music? Or 15 seconds to eat or Reese's? Perhaps it's true.

Everything happens for a reases. But that was the first time we had... Well, really, the only time I've heard the vocals like that, you know, my recorder did not pick up the sound. It wasn't close enough for it to pick it up. The other thing I thought was a little interesting was on the other side of that mountain. So we went over there in a different time. This was, I think it might have been because of what happened there. We thought there's a actually, there's a trail, a horse trail that runs up to the middle of that.

mountain and you can kind of see it before you head up from off from the river and and it goes for i don't remember if it's like 18 miles but it goes and goes so i'm wondering if possibly that bigfoot was along there somewhere possibly you know but i had never went up that i've never been up to that but we did decide the next time around that hey let's go camping on the other side of this mountain on the Rooster Rock's road that goes up the Rooster Rock Trail. So we ended up going, we didn't, it wasn't too long. I think we ended up going kind of late fall, but it was November. And so we kind of thought, oh, there'll be a little bit of snow so we could, you know, check for tracks like that, you know. And so we ended up, I remember seeing some wildlife,

some deer when we went up the road. We decided we kind of went as far as we could go up that road. and then we parked it and camped. And I know one of the days, my dad was in the gold panning, so we decided, hey, let's, you know, it's being enjoyed camping, you know, doing different outdoors activities. So we just thought, well, we'll go down to this creek right up here up the road, and we'll do some gold painting. So we started gold panning,

and I looked down in the sand, and I see this really detailed footprint. And it was a good size footprint. The heel, I would say the heel part was missing, but the rest of it looked almost perfect. And which I don't know if it's, my mom actually may have that somewhere, if she still has the old camera for it.

But I saw this footprint. I took a picture and I couldn't believe what we saw. Well, there was leaves down. and so I started to really check out kind of the trail that leads down to the creek from the road. And I could make out a large imprints and I made out some small footprints. So it seemed to me like there was a large one and a small one that had gone down to that creek. I would have never seen that, you know, in the leaves if it wasn't really paying attention to see you know, that that was kind of what we both agreed on

it looked like, some big ones and some smaller footprints. And so that was kind of cool to see, especially that one in the sand. So the next time I went up there, and I tried to hit it really, I went back in August. So I tried to hit it around the 20th, around that time frame from before. Those guys that we went to a cabin with

that went to our church in the area, they were kind of optimistic and curious and open-minded enough that they were like, well, you know, we've seen that Finding Bigfoot show a little bit. We'd like to check it out. So I take him, I ride up with one of the guys and his, he had a Jeep Wrangler. We went up their head of the other two guys. They were going to meet up with us later. So, you know, I took him right up to the spot where we had that one come up to. the tree line and and and I showed him kind of like where it happened and and I said he was you know

not I mean he was he decided just to hang out around the Jeep you know this was like fine cool and I said I'm going to walk down that game trail this up ahead and check it out and walk down there ways and and just you know go down there and see if if I seen anything different from before and so I walked down there and he's just hanging out I think he was a smoker you know he was anyway he was Dwayne is hanging out by the rig. And so I come back and then, you know, probably five, ten minutes back

to him. And he goes, well, you're up on the hill? And I said, no, I was down over here, just, you know, veered off, went away as that way. And he goes, you weren't up on the hill? And because there was some rocks that go out kind of behind the camp and then

just up the road just a little bit and up on the hill. I kind of thought, well, let's walk up the road a little bit. and kind of show me where it was. And he goes, I said, do you smell that? And there was a little bit of a smell that wasn't strong, but it was enough that there was an indication there was something up there, you know?

And so I decided, well, maybe I'll just kind of start climbing up there and check it out. So I went up the hill, the rock, and I started going halfway up, And then the smell and it had been going away. Later on, so the other guys show up, we actually decided to go down. There's three spots. There's one, the low one we went out with the whistle, right?

There's one in between these two. It's up on a hill and you got a nice kind of overviewed to go down into the valley. We went down to the low spot. And it was a Saturday night, you know, it just worked out, you know, that time, which for all of us to go. And so we drove down there. And the reason I guess I don't really think about it because it was nothing happened at all. There's nothing to talk about really, you know. But they were like, hey, you know what?

You know, it's quiet, nothing happened. But let's come back next weekend. And they're like, yeah, maybe we'll hit the spot up above in the middle. So like, okay, so we met back up at that middle spot. Now, one of the guys was a pretty big hunter. And two of the other guys had guns with them. One of them had a wounded rabbit and coyote and all these calls. Well, they started using it at night off in the valley.

We did our calls. We social, we had fun, you know, and just kind of we tried different things. Well, nothing was really going on. We were sitting down. We were just all sitting down around where the fire would have been. And we hear this sound, and it's a rock hitting, landing. It sounds like a rock, a thump noise, landing behind. this tree that kind of went down the slope of this hill.

And so we're like, I was like, did you guys hear that? And oh, yeah, it sounded like it was right behind this tree over here. And so they get up, and I get up, and we hear rocks, what sounds like rocks, hitting up on the gravel right by our camp where the road goes up. And so me and this other guy, we decide, hey, let's throw some more rocks. down the hill. You know, we couldn't see nothing. It was 2.15 in the morning. One of the guys, which I didn't know he was going to do this, and he did, is he had a handgun right before this happened. I forgot, I should put this in, because this is interesting to me. It's like, he decides

to fire off a couple shots. I wouldn't personally just fire off a couple shots like that. Anyway, he did. And then shortly after that, within minutes, this sounded like rocks coming in. And so we were grabbed rocks, throwing them down the hill, and then we'd hear more hitting up on the gravel road, and then we'd toss them more down, and then it was just back and forth for probably, I would say, like, six times. It was, we were, you know, having fun with it. Nobody was, it wasn't anything scary or nothing, you know.

But we're like, oh, we're, you know, potentially playing and having a game with these bigfeds. On the other side of us, here's a rock coming in. We could tell it came from the other side because on the other side of these guys, a couple guys. Well, then another rock comes in and lands right between the one guy that I started throwing rocks with between his shoes. and he's like, now rock just landed there, you know? And it was probably about golf size, I'd say rock, you know, landed between. And so they were having fun. And one of the guys is, you know, I haven't had permission for names, so I'm not, you know,

but he is a firefighter. Well, he said he had a tent, so I just decided, you know, I'll just, the other two guys had their vehicles. One had a Chevy truck, and then the other one had his Wrangler. So they decided to sleep in their vehicles. And it was like, okay. So anyway, this guy, being a firefighter, he used to, I guess, wearing earplugs and stuff, you know, being away from home. We went to bed.

It quieted down. I guess it quieted down enough with the rocks that we decided to go to bed. So everything got kind of quiet, you know. kept us awake till I would say around three, maybe 3.30, somewhere around there before we actually went to bed. I know it was after 3. So anyway, we were, so I'm laying in there and I hear the sound outside. And so I kind of elbow a little bit. say, hey, hey, do you hear that? And he's not moving or anything. And I'm thinking, all right, so anyway, I finally wake him up and I'm like, can you hear that? And he goes, what? And it's like, he goes, you got earploded in? So anyway, I went up the door and I didn't see anything at all.

And, but I had left my voice recorder up the road on the gravel and I covered it up. And so, So I guess fast forward, nothing else happened that night. None of us woke up. Well, the next morning I go out and I get the recorder up the road. I start hearing on the recorder, like, I hear what sounds like only I could think of as maybe feet, but it's like a scooting or shifting on the gravel. and you know this was on from about i'd say 3.30 to quarter to five somewhere around there you know so it did that a couple of times whatever it was and then you could hear wood hitting wood it

sounded like somewhere probably down in the forest the next trip up which the next one that sounds out trip for me is i decide you know i'm i decide by myself which I kind of regretted this, but I decided to go up and I'm going to spend the night up in that spot. And this was the same time of year, August. So I'd say this was 2012. I know it was shortly after, so like that summer, let me think. It was definitely there in that same time period. It was August around the 20th.

And I go up, so I go up to this area again. And I actually decided to go up. by myself. I had bought in a Jeep Wrangler, a new one, and I just was antsy to get up there. So I went up there and I brought, I actually brought a shotgun with me. And I'm like, okay, I'm just going to go up here and see what happens. So I get situated and I'm not really even set up. I think I just kind of, you know, it was antsy to get up there. I really didn't set up very well.

and I just planned actually just sleeping in in the vehicle. So I pull in and just park, I get out, listen, and it's getting around dusk

and it's just after dark. And so I would say around 10 and I hear something on one side of the camp. It's actually the upper

side of the camp, not the one that veers down the hill. And I hear something running through the forest and it's doing these deep snorts. And it's running and it would turn

around, it would run through back through the forest and it would turn at the end and run back through again and it kept snorting and I got pretty scared. And So I decided, you know what, this is what I wanted, but I just thought, you know what, I've had enough. I was like, this is too much. I mean, this, for me, it's like the sound of it, it sounded aggressive. It sounded loud, the snorting, and the way it kept running back into the forest. And I'm thinking, what is this exactly? And I didn't know what it was, but I knew it was bigger than a deer and the way it was doing that. So I started to yell. Well, it didn't phase it at all.

It kept on running and snorting. So it wasn't leaving. Well, so I had that shotgun in my hands. And I remember getting really scared. And I just thought to myself, this thing's not leaving. And I saw some people about three miles down to the lake. And I was up there all by myself. and there's no phone service.

So I'm thinking, I don't know if I should have done it. I knew, I mean, I didn't, I knew, I let, you know, others know where I was going to be. So it wasn't like I went up there and didn't see anything. But I felt like, okay, and I had my recorder going, actually,

and it picked up everything, you know, the sounds running, the snorting, you picked up the snorting. And so I decided, I'm jumping in my Jeep. Pick for Society will be right back after these messages. PNC Bank brings you Call of the Wild Money Moves.

You hear that? YOLO! That's an internet troll telling you to put all your money into a single investment. YOLO! YOLO! He wants you to liquidate your emergency fund. YOLO.

Did you need 15 seconds away from music? Or 15 seconds to eat or Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a Reese's. So I get in my Jeep and I turned it on and I decide. to turn it around, because I had it the opposite way of getting out of there. And so I had to turn it around and I'm sitting in there and I could still hear it doing this thing.

And then I just tried to calm down, calm down, and then I waited about 10 minutes, shut the engine down and it was quiet. And then I'm like, okay, you're okay, nothing's happened, you're good. and then I decided to go ahead and kick back my seat and and just stay the night like I wanted to do. But I kind of felt like, you know, if that was one there, it didn't want me there is what I felt like. And I don't know if it was because I was by myself. And because, you know, I've heard if you're by yourself, things could more likely be maybe a little bit more aggressive at times.

So I don't know, but I just, I end up staying, didn't see anything, but I definitely, whatever it was, it was making its presence there. Those guys I took up there too, they, they were, they were pretty much leaning towards that they thought that that's what was happening, that there was big foot surround us. But we never heard anything.

We never heard any movement, which is so, to me, interesting how these things can be as big as they can be, and you can't, you can't hear them moving around or anything. And so, okay, so the next thing I wanted to talk about was my amazing wife, Francie, which she goes, we actually have a blended family, and she's, it's great. You know, anyway, so we ended up, we both loved to go outdoors, hiking, camping, doing all that kinds of stuff. And so a couple summers ago, we actually did some research when we were wanting to find

a new place to go camping. And so I had found that they had a recent siting online actually over in Leavenworth, Washington area. And so the person kind of described. about where it was. And so it was like, hey, you know, we were wanting to do a camping trip. So we ended up driving over there. And we actually only had one night, which I wish we would have had more. But so we ended up driving there and getting there about, it was after 2 p.m., I think around the 23rd of August, 2022. There was that recent sighting. So we decided there was a lake

right near the town. Well, we ended up going on this it was BLM land or something. There was an area where you could camp, you know, just pick a spot in camp across from the lake across this road. So we went in there and we found a spot. And so we just set up our chairs.

And so we were just kind of hanging out and we didn't set up anything yet. And I hear a noise down in the trees kind of downward from where we're at. And so I'm like, what was that? And so I decided to go ahead and take some pictures. And as soon as I took a series of pictures out there along that area, I looked, and right away I'm like, telling my wife, I'm like,

what is that? And so she saw what I saw. So I actually panned across with my video, which it was a little distance out, you know, so I wish it would have been better than it looks. But I could tell there was a figure, and you could see it when I panned across with the video, too. It was still standing out there. And I couldn't see it with a naked eye, but I could see it with the camera. I was like, well, hi, I see something there.

So we got that, and I thought it was interesting. So, and then, like I said, it was no longer there. And so we were like, okay, cool, this is, this is exciting. So it's like, we just got here and maybe saw something. So we go ahead and set up our camp, and then we go for a walk and down on some of the roads, the gravel roads. And my wife had pointed out some, it looked like maybe bare footprints on the edge of the road that once had water, you know, in it.

So they looked a little bit, not recent, but. But it looked like potentially could be feet, you know. And so we kind of roam around and come back to camp. Later on that evening, we had went to bed. So we had a tent where you can have the whole top open, you know, so we wanted to be able to see everything. And so we're laying in there. And it's, I would say, between 1030 and 11.

And we did have, I thought was interesting, was. we started hearing like the tree trunk in front of like towards our feet, the tree, one of the trees. You could hear this scratching. It was this long, shh, coming down the trees, the tree there. And then on the opposite side of our heads, we heard the same thing. It sounded like something scratching down a tree trunk at the same time, you know, going. And I just thought, okay, that's, that's not normal. you know, so, so we're laying there and, and, and, but I could make out there was something else.

It sounded like there was something else on the right side of us, too. It just wasn't making much sound. And so that was interesting, kind of a night, I took my wife up one night to that old camp and spot where those rocks were thrown. And, and she, I'm telling you, was a complete non-brown. believer and but she's like to me it was like the unicorns you know like no such thing she doesn't even say a believer she's in nowhere now i mean and i know when i took her up there she woke up one night up at that old camp spot and she said she felt strong like something or somebody was watching her you know in the night and but didn't ever see anything she's completely believes you know

what happened to me and some of these things that I've told her in the past that have happened and then what happened with us. And I know that it just seems like it's very difficult to have a visual, you know, but I do know that a lot of things, once you, I feel like get more educated on the subject on what's going on. You know, a lot of it that's going on around out there that you kind of can put things together more. And so that trip, Elevenworth, You know, I wish I'd like to, I haven't been back since, but I wouldn't mind going back and like trying to find those trees and seeing if I could see any marks, you know, up and down those trees. But for there being a recent sighting, you know, I'd say two to three months prior to that, you know, I thought it might be a spot to check out. My dad, you know, as far as my dad, you know, he was not a complete believer, but I know he is a believer now.

or he's in nowhere, actually, because of what's happened. But before that, but I know he told me when he was in the 20s, he went hunting, and he said that he just got this awful, awful smell and feeling like he's being watched. He never saw anything, but he knew something wasn't right, you know, that feeling. And so I think that he looks back and he realizes, okay, that's probably what was going on. And that was up in, it's Edenville, Washington. So it's close to Mount Rainier. And then I've got kind of family around Morton, L.B. area, which is all kind of around that west side of the, from the mountain.

My boys, well, there was three at the time. And I know one time, and just recently, my 18-year-old and 17-year-old talked to me, separately about this, but they had told me this at the time. So when they were kids, they saw they think one. And it was behind their great-grandparents' house, which was just out of a Silverton, Oregon. Now, they were playing in the backyard, and I actually talked to one of them tonight about it, and then last night, the other one. So they both, you know, maybe they had a little different perspective, but they were young. And for them to bring it up to me recently over these years and tell me that they all got scared, because at the time they told me about it, and I just

kind of thought, you know, the kids were out playing, they were playing with their cousins, they probably just think they saw something in the trees. Well, they tell me that they saw this very, like a basketball player, you know, tall, Harry, like part of a body, and one of them said you saw the shoulder area but it was the one described it as it being like grisly like i would i would have to say like a darker brown and the other one said more of a dark color but they both described that they had seen this thing and they couldn't i don't think they got a good look at the face but they said it was like it's just around a tree and so they all kind of were i don't remember how many of their cousins but my oldest

since he didn't see it. They said that they both seen this thing and they all took off running and ran in the house. And I remember them coming in the house and saying they had seen something, but I just, you know, I didn't really think much of it. But for me, for them telling me now about it all these years later, when they were probably like, they're pretty close in age, you know, so five, six and seven and a half to say right around there, that telling me this, that I think that they must have seen something, you know. And, and, but anyway, so that happened there.

And it was, and it's, it's kind of the edge of the cascade range also. They lived up in the hills out of Silverton. So there's actually a little town that's the closest to it is Scott's Mills. And, and then there's a road that goes up a ways called, you know, nobody lives up there family anymore, but it's called Crooked Fink. your road and it goes up along this this river and anyway it was up there and so it's a ways out and but yeah so that happened with them but and so especially those two boys are pretty believers you know with you know at least i think they tend to believe pretty much everything especially after

what they know they saw something themselves but so that happened to them and that was that had to have been like I would say I mean the youngest brother might have been around so it may have been maybe 2010 to 12 somewhere around there maybe 12 somewhere right around that time 2012 but it was it was probably summer I'm thinking but I don't remember exactly when being outside and playing and stuff but because there is a little altitude up there I think it's probably about 2,500 feet elevation up there. And about the same where I was living too, up in Colton as a kid. You know, I did hear a couple of things that were interesting up there where I lived. When I was a kid, like I heard that there was a full-sized horse that was killed in a field, probably about a mile down from our house. And I heard maybe a cougar, but I'm like, you know, I don't know,

but here I was a teenager, early teen, at the most. But I heard about that. But I do know when I looked up on the BFRO, there was some bow hunters up there that had some encounters up on Goat Mountain. That was around, you know, the mid-90s is when those reports were in. Now, the only other thing I could think of was,

I know one night I was with my mom, and we were heading home. We were about, I'd say, a half a mile, just past where that horse field was, actually. Just kind of dips down, and there's a big hill that goes up. Well, you dipped down, and we were actually looking for a couple of my uncles. They were fern picking, actually, at the time, and it was around dusk, and we go to hit this hill,

and there's like a fence, and there's a light pole, and we go up the hill, and we get up to the house, So my mom, I was with her, you know, in the passenger seat. So she's like, you know, I saw someone, but it looked, I don't think, I just had a feeling not to go back, like looking for them. And she said, but it was, where it was standing had to have been like super tall, where it was standing by that pole. So she may have seen one that night, but I didn't see anything, you know, but she did mention

that after when we got back. I had talked to, well, let me see, a couple different times and on the phone to Cliff Berrickman. And, you know, I actually met him in a conference over in Kinowick, but I had talked to him, and he told me that the cook I was talking about, he knew who the guy was, that there was a cook at my grade school. And he said he actually, and back then in the mid-90s, he said that, and I remember this because the guy said it, was he said he had 22 encounters, and that was back in the mid-90s. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. PNC Bank brings you. Call of the Wild Money Moves.

You hear that? YOLO! That's an internet troll telling you to put all your money into a single investment. YOLO! YOLO! He wants you to liquidate your emergency fund. YOLO! And buy a digital racehorse named Silicon Steve.

YOLO. Stay vigilant. He's very persistent. YOLO! Guard against wild money moves with PNC Bank. Brilliantly boring since 1865. Plan B made over-the-counter emergency contraception legal more than 20 years ago. It's a safe, effective backup birth control option that helps prevent pregnancy before it starts by temporarily delaying ovulation.

Plan B is the number one OBGYN recommended brand and the only one that you can find at all major retailers in all 50 U.S. States. There's no minimum age requirement and you don't need an ID to buy it. You can order it through DoorDash and other major delivery platforms too. That's freedom to be. Use as directed. They say everything happens for a reason, but I suspect everything happens for a recess. Like this commercial break. Did you need 15 seconds away from music?

Or 15 seconds to eat or Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a recess. And so Cliff knew about this guy and he said, you know, So, you know, it was about, gosh, probably five years ago, no longer than that, actually, when I had talked to him in person about him. Anyway, he said he wanted to talk to the guy, you know, while he's still around and get his, get an interview from him and hear some of his encounters. And I don't know if he ever did, but I told him as like, you know, because I, you know, told him where I was at and, you know, he put it together. And the other guy was saying Cliff, too, that was with him, they investigated with this other guy.

But Cliff wanted to talk to him and get some of his encounters. But the other guy, now he had one encounter. And I was surprised, my stepdad was a, he actually was a little open to a story because he had only lived in Estacada and he said he was camping in a group and they had all these tents. And he said, in the middle of the night that their tents were lifted and tossed. with them in him. And they said they got,

they were spooked, you know, to death. They got out the next morning, and there was muddy, big footprints around their camp. So that's kind of his, you know, basically his story of why he became into what he was doing. But, but yeah, and he was a pretty easy-going guy, but so I think it was easier for that guy,

for my stepdad to listen to him. But the other guy is like, well, 20-some encounters. Hmm, you know, but who know? I don't know. But yeah, so anyway, so I knew that there was things going on, but I didn't really see anything as a kid. And obviously, my brother and I, we were never harmed if they were around. But when you look later on in life and put things together, you kind of realize that, to me, it was more than likely that they were coming around our property. And I know my uncle, one of the guys, the ones that Fern picked, he was living down in the trailer that was down at the bottom of our property. And he said he remembered, you know, because he was, he had seen when he said, right? It was over West in Oregon there.

And anyway, he said that he didn't know what it was, but he said he'd hear the morning hours still dark. He would hear a bird going off. And he just thought it was not a bird. You know, maybe just, I don't know if he thought it was off, you know, but he just didn't add it up to being a bird and being so dark in the morning. But I know we had a lot of coyotes as a kid in the back of our property pretty frequently at night, you know. The only other thing I thought, which it could be the coyotes itself, is like when we first moved up there right away, we took over, I think it was like an owner of contract, you know, for the place. And anyway, the people that lived there had chickens and a rooster

and they didn't have bents in or nothing and within, I'd say, two to three weeks, they were just disappearing, one after another. And the last one to go was the rooster. You know, he was around and then he didn't make it. So I don't know if it was the coyotes or what, you know, but they disappeared

and it wasn't, you know, just gradually disappeared over, I'd say, two or three weeks, you know, time. So that was kind of interesting. But, but yeah, the other thing I thought was, I wanted to bring up, because I thought it was interesting, okay? So we had a neighbor that was, you know, he wasn't the best neighbor. Let's put that way, a couple actually, really. But one of them, at least my stepdad didn't get along with and very well. But one night, we had a freezer on our porch, and it was open, you know, anybody could access, right?

Well, my stepdad says that the neighbors robbed us, that I don't know, I'm picturing him seeing somebody running down the road with some food. And later on, I'm thinking to myself, in nighttime, did you get a really good, you know, view of this guy or who he thought it was or was it something else, you know, that came in and helped himself in the freezer. So I thought that was a little interesting because, you know, it's just who I don't know for sure, but I just find it odd to why would the neighbor come over

and I don't know, grab food out of the freezer. But so that happened. There's trying to think of anything else that happened up there on our property. The only other thing I could think of, And this is, if anything, this is kind of embarrassing, put it this way, but I'll see it in an easy-going way. We had a well issue. We had a hand-dug well, and it was 80-foot dug, right? So the end of the summer, by September, it would pretty much be empty. It just didn't have enough water to last us. So we ended up putting a new well in, well, why we were doing that, we had no facilities.

So here I decide, I got to go to the bathrooms. I decided to go over to the dark forest and get away, you know, house and privacy. So I go over there and it's around dusk. Well, the timing isn't great, you know, really, but you have to go, right? Anyway, so I go over there and I'm, you know, waiting and all of a sudden I hear all of these, all this footsteps running and coming up from down, slope in this forest. And I don't know if it's elk running, deer running, or what, but I hear all this ruckets just running up the hill multiple, you know, like I'd say a whole group or whatever.

And it's running. Well, and I got this feeling inside like you have to go now, you know, just as instinct. I have to get out of here, you know. So I go up and then I just start be laying it through as fast as I could through the edge of that forest back onto our property. But I just, I don't know what it was or, and I thought later on, like maybe it could have been, this is my feelings later on life that maybe it was deer or elk possibly, but they were running at high speed. So a group of them and it could have been chased is what I was leaning towards maybe was going on it, but I don't know.

All I knew is, you know, you got that flight kicked in, and I just, I just be lined out of that forest. And, you know, I remember getting scraped up, but I didn't care. I just had to get out of there, you know, as quick as I could. And so I didn't go over there after that. But, yeah, so that, I think, was the last thing I remember happening at the house there. So after I had talked to Cliff, one of the times, right? I ended up

my co-worker that I worked with I worked with him for about over 14 years I worked with him he knew I was in the Bigfoot a little bit

so he you know we would talk off and on well he tells me about a little bit of his hunting trips and so he would go up

the Malala River area he would go up between Colton and Estakeda well he goes up and he tells me I found this footprint and I got the creeps and he's a pretty big guy he's like 6.3 I'd say 280 you know

and and he he got the creeps when he saw this track and it was going through this muddy I don't know if it's a muddy like game trail but it was going across it when he took that footprint so he tells me he gets a hold of Cliff and and Cliff was like this is great He goes, this is, this is like a perfect, you know, to him, it was like, he was describing the mud, kind of the lighter mud towards the middle of it.

He said it's like flung back. It's like the way the foot moves. Anyway, he described it like this is very, very, very likely a real footprint. So I talked to my uncle and I say, hey. And this was, by the way, in reference, this was 2017 is when, my coworker, and it was November 5th, so when he was up there. So a week later, next weekend I go up and with my uncle, and we end up finding this trackway, and it's going into the forest.

And it's right in that area where he told me, I never found the exact footprint, but I put my boot, which were nine and a half size boots and you can see on the one by the log anyway it looks what was cool was I found

a track going into the forest and I measured kind of on this hill mound and then it was kind of a tree testing area and they had the gate open they happened to have the gate open so we went in but there was some fresh sawdust over the ground too when I walked into the forest So it looked like

these tracks went right over the sawdust like right after whatever they were done doing and and so we found this trackway because Michael goes hey you gotta see this so we were following it I couldn't jump to each track you know and we could make it out

for a little ways going down and one of it like broke a whole tree that was down you know like a hit right in the middle and but so I thought that was It's a good finding. It's interesting one. I remember when I measured this, this measurement on this track come out to be the same size

as my coworker track he found. So it was the same length, I believe 13 inch. You know that my coworker did tell me he had heard screams up there, off from a little ways, but he could hear screams. And he said one of the trips up there, he said that he found a deer and he had two, a a boys pretty close to my boys ages, and he would take him up hunting with them and stuff, but, you know, scouting and stuff,

but he had found up this road veering off from the along the river, he had found it was like ripped apart, he said, and he just kind of got this feeling like, well, this is not normal, you know, we need to get out of here. So they laughed, and so he told me about that. But, you know, I just wanted to clarify too, which is no biggie at all, But that county right there, Malala, Colton, that whole area, Estigator, is Clackamas County.

And Clackamas County has had a lot of sightings. I think as far as I know, the most sightings online is in Clackamas County, which, you know, goes all the way out to Mount Hood. You know, and I think it's, what, over a million acres, Mount Hood National Forest. So it's a big area. but yeah there's there's been a lot of sightings i know there was a guy i worked with another guy he actually hunted he was hunting grouse and he told me about this and he was going up by it was estueta and i think he said it was i remember right it was the war river rohing river and he said it was about 5 p.m i don't remember exact dates on this it was probably i would say

let me see say 2011 2010 anyway somewhere around there and he said he went up the hill and he heard this he said woman sound like a woman screaming and

down towards this river and you know it was still completely light and everything but he said it sounded like, you know, like, I mean, somebody with maybe Downton, just how it sounded, you know, like it didn't sound right. It sounded like a woman screaming, but it sounded a little bit off, you know, kind of like, but it scared him enough that he took off and decided to forget hunting. I think he was hunting, yeah, grouse, and left, but he told me about that.

And so I never went up into that area. But yeah, he is, and he's kind of a guy that's, he was, you know, I think around 60. And he seemed like a pretty tough individual person. And I thought for him to get rattled that, yeah. So I think that's, that's about all I can think of, Jeremiah, that stands out. Well, that's absolutely incredible. I mean, we had talked before the interview. And I remember you saying, yeah, I got some.

I got some other stuff besides the tent thing. I was like, all right. And man, you had some other stuff. So I do have a few comments. You know, like you mentioned the Goat Mountain Oregon area. Like, that area is known for a ton of activity over the years. I mean, you can look it up on even like, I don't know if you've been to Oregon, bigfoot.com is still up and running at the time of this recording.

There's a lot of reports on there. And then on BFRO. And I've talked to an individual who had some pretty interesting stuff happen in the Silverton area. So that's a pretty interesting area too. Bigfoot Society will be right back after these messages. PNC Bank brings you. Call of the Wild Money Moves. Shh.

Listen. Hey, guys. That's the sound of a multi-level marketing pitch. This is life-changing, you guys. Sounds like she wants you to buy lots of essential oils. They are so essential. And then have all your friends buy essential oils. Are you more of a geranium or a lavender fan?

Don't look her in the eyes. Guard against wild money moves with PNC Bank. Brilliantly boring since 1865. Plan B made over-the-counter emergency contraception legal more than 20 years ago. It's a safe, effective backup birth control option that helps prevent pregnancy before it starts by temporarily delaying ovulation. Plan B is the number one OBGYN recommended brand

They say everything happens for a reason, but I suspect everything happens for a recess. Like this commercial break, did you need 15 seconds away from music, or 15 seconds to eat erases. Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a recesses. In the Molala, that Malala River area, I don't know.

Did you, have you heard the interview I did with the gentleman about what happened to him in that area? This is like episode 580, that individual named Ed. You would, if you haven't, you would really find that interesting. You probably have, though. I just found you more recently, but I did listen to one. where he's got the rabbit in the cage. Yeah, that's that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And he gets chased by the big foot in the middle of the campsite. Totally. Yeah. Yes, and that's right up there. And, you know, when I talked to the cliff, too, he told me the first time I talked to him at that conference, he told me back in the 90s, there was some homeless people living up there, and they would see these large, dark figures, you know, around.

And, yeah, so, yeah, that's, It's kind of like I didn't realize living there for so many years around the area what's a hot area it was for these things, you know? And then, you know, not knowing too when I was a kid about really what was going on up there at that Colton House on Goat Mountain where I was living. Absolutely. But it kind of made sense, especially when my mom said, I thought it was interesting was, well, like, well, your stepdad was gone. those nights when the activity, things would happen. And it's like, so it knew, or they knew whatever, most likely that the male alpha was gone, you know. So.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, interesting. The individual, and I was going to, I was going to ask this anyways, the two gentlemen that were Bigfoot researchers, you mentioned one of the names was Cliff, not Cliff Berrickman, but different Cliff. Who was the guy who was the? You know, I can't. I don't remember his name right off. I don't know. And I know the guy, the cliff, the other cliff, he actually wrote a book. And you probably even have heard of the guy.

And I don't, I don't even know. Oh, is it? It's Bigfoot Highway, Cliff Olson? Yes, Cliff Olson. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Who was the one with, you know, that, I mean, I probably didn't say it great his story, but basically what happened, and what I remember, him saying, it, you know. But so was him and then this guy, which, you know, he was, he was, like I said, for a cook for years. And then, you know, the other cliff, he knew who the guy was and he wanted to talk to him. So I don't know if he ever got to, but, but yeah, I don't know any of his. He just, you know, said he had seen him. I know one of the trips up there, my stepdad was cutting wood and, you know, saw him some logs and stuff. And he's like, he's like, go he goes, you know, have he heard anything?

You know, I don't remember exactly what he said, but basically he goes, oh, you know, I don't think he'd be around here at all because I'm, you know, making all this noise and cutting, and they're like, oh, you know, they could be up in the trees watching you. You know, he's kind of laughing it off. And so, but it's just like, you know,

it's kind of bugged me a little bit because knowing what I saw, you know, and then knowing that things were going on around that he had no idea, you know, but he did halfway, like I said, believe that Cliff, Olson's story on his encounter. And so he was a little bit, but you know, I find it funny is for me, like he, my step down, when he was a kid, he actually was up in the Cicator area, and he's told this before. And so he was watching over a logging camp, you know, he was like 12 years old. And I mean, I don't remember back then if they carried a gun, but he did remember hearing screams.

And he said, and it doesn't sound like there were coyote screams, but, you know, he chalks them up to being a coyote, I'm sure. But it sounded like more of like a woman screaming, I believe, something like that. But he didn't believe it was what it probably was, you know. but I think it did cross his mind because even as a kid he had heard about it but he was completely non-believer and I think he still is

but yeah that's you know but one thing I learned to was going up the mall or river corridor there's been a lot of missing people up there I've heard and I would never I mean I know one time I went up there and I was going to hike

rooster rock trail which is on the other side of table rock trail And I started to hike it, and I just kind of just spurial the moment, you know, went up there to do it. And I started hiking it just the beginning. I'm like, you know what? I didn't let anybody know. This is not good. So I just turned around and left.

I'm like, not a good idea, you know. Nobody knew where I was going to be. And I was just going to do this hike and come back. And I'm like, nah, not when I knew there was more out there than what most people knew, you know. But I believe Finding Bigfoot actually went up there on that. hill is where they actually went for part of their episode they did you know in the beginning in the first season they went up i believe was the rooster rock side of that that hill is where they actually went for part of what they were doing a friend of mine actually saw the crew that i worked with and he's

like oh yeah i saw the crew up there i was wondering what they were doing you know but that's funny yeah yeah and i do want to point out these these these places that are being talked about in the Malala River, from what I know of, they're way out there. And it's like, this is not a thing that you take lightly. You need to be prepared. You know, I would hope people listening to this show are aware that locations that are talked about are very serious. And you need to be prepared, you know, for weather to change. And this is just something that's been in the news lately. And unfortunately, that's happened, things can change.

And you need to be prepared for these situations to arise. And I'm talking about, you know, the two researchers that, unfortunately, were found up in Schemania County after going out on Christmas of this year. Yeah, that was unfortunate to hear about that, Jeremiah. Yeah, I heard about it. It was local, being local here, you know. about it that happened. My wife and I actually took a trek up, and it was snowing pretty good, which we don't have a four-wheel drive right now. And so we got up into some snow, and this was on the 25th. It took a little drive up towards Trout Lake area, and we turned around because it was

just, it was coming down pretty good, and we didn't want to get up too far up in there. But yeah, it's just the weather. That's the thing. It's like I've learned too, because, you know, I've gotten a couple times up there on the mountain. One time, fortunate it was turned into a blizzard, and that was rough, but another time where I was trying to get back to my camp from down in the valley,

and just the wind really brought the temperature down. And, you know, I'm thinking either keep moving or build a fire, you know? So it's, it's, it's, normally what I would do was with my dad as I'd have, we'd have radios. So we could keep contact with each other as I'm going down through the forest.

And he's had some back issues, so he can't track too far. So he would usually stay back around camp. But we tried to play it safe. But I've just learned even for myself, it's like you're better off to go with somebody else. You know, it's so much safer, you know, because something could happen. And when you're by yourself, you know, you could be. And I know for years up there, the cell service isn't good. And you get out there.

I mean, it's like for me getting out to that. spot. It's like from a Lala, it's like an hour and a half drive, you know, on these roads get up there. And so it takes time. And, you know, I've had a flat tire up there. It was with my dad. Luckily, it was at nighttime. And we actually had to change a tire on a hill with power lines. It was, we were driving up roads. And it happened on the way down. So we had to jack it up on a hill. It's just not a good situation. Oh, my goodness. Wow, dude. That's, that. That's wild.

Oh, my goodness. Yeah. Wow. Absolutely. You've got some incredible accounts that you've been sharing over our time together. I'm so glad that you reached out, Brandon. It's talking to guys like you that it's just you find out some really cool stuff that's happened over the years. Well, I appreciate it, Jeremy.

I appreciate, you know, like I said, you kind of just. your enthusiasm is kind of you know because after a while you kind of it's nice to kind of feel a bit more fire inside about it you know like kind of wanting to because it's it's fun you know it's fun to get out there and it's fun to explore you know and especially if you love the outdoors and you know my wife and i we've done quite a lot of camping trips um so before last we went on about 25 hikes up because we're living you know we live over in the was sugar close to vancouver area But up the river, the gorge, the Columbia, there's lots of places at the hike. And I know just down from here, I know Cliff has talked about with recently about the, there's a dam down here.

And they have frequent encounters, you know. Down at this dam, Bonneville Dam, it's just down about just over 30 minutes from here, you know. And then actually, one of my bosses actually that I worked with, he told me he's had a couple of encounters. One up Mount St. Helens hunting. And then, because I heard about it from another coworker, like, hey, the boss has had some interesting things happen. So he's a believer, you know, kind of thing. And so I asked him, and he said, yeah. And then he said the last incident was over in Stevens, Washington, just up the river here, you know, down.

And he said, it was screaming and all the sounds. And he said, because I was done hunting after that. And it was about seven, eight years ago. Because I'm not going hunting again. So. Oh my goodness. Yeah. I mean, pass on my email if you want. I mean, I'd love to talk to them. But that sounds, that sounds absolutely wild. I mean, yeah, that would be definitely enough to stop you from hunting. Yeah. And I actually have one more. I just thought if I should share with you, I sure. Sure. It's interesting. I don't have a lot of detail. But so, so one of my daughters, I call, you know, daughters, but stepdaughters, but they're. great to me. They call me dad. And they, so one of them was camping with her husband. This was two summers ago in August. And they have, we have three grandkids. So she has, you know, two. And so

they went up camping up in Gifford, Pinchot National Force, just the edge of it where you go up on the, just on the southwest side of Mount St. Helens. So they went up there. Turnaree, we've camped ourselves too and with them but anyway they went up there and they actually gosh it actually kind of turned horrible actually a little bit so they started hearing these owl sounds at night or on their camp and there's just a camp spot where you just find your own spot you know along this river and there's lots of different nice places the camp and there's a road that kind of veers off and the main one it goes it wraps up and around to mount st helen so anyway so they they started hearing these owl sounds but they said that the owl would like oh who it was just it didn't sound right at the end

like it was off something was off so they were listening to this and then they said that they ended up hearing noises things coming into their camp and they said that we were surrounded what they told you know me and my wife they were they were surrounded by about eight of these things around their camp. And so it scared them enough. They actually had it. This is not funny, but they actually had an engine problem, and we ended up going up there in their truck.

It wouldn't start the next day. And I didn't hear about this. Well, I don't think I heard about it till after, but we just decided, you know what, they need help. They're up there and see what we can do. I'm not really too much of a mechanic. but, you know, if we can do anything to figure out what's going on or why their truck won't start.

So we went up there and we couldn't get it going. They came back up. They had left and came back up. But then so to the exact spot, but they were kind of stuck there for a period because of the truck was broke down too. But when they left there, they told us like what happened? And they said, they're pretty sure that that was what was going on. and it scared them enough, they said, they're not going camping again. They said, we're still in all of our camping stuff.

So that's what they told us. And her husband was big in the fishing. So, you know, I don't think he would stop fishing. But I think with the kids, too, it's more like they were worried more for the kids of anything. You know, they're probably at the time about five and six and a half, you know. But it really got their attention with that. night and I made them, because I told him, you know, about some of the things that had happened before, but that was the first time, you know, that, like, you know, I think my daughter's husband,

he, he would go out a little bit with me, but it was, he really, they both really felt that that was what happened that night, you know, so it was August 1st, actually, I believe, because, first or second, because I remember before the summer hit, her husband, me, he's like, yeah, I really want to go up there at that time again and take some buddies from work and see what happens. That's what he told me. So over time, maybe it was, I think it was probably more than anything, the grandkids, you know, and it really scared them.

And anyway. And my goodness, it's just, you know, sometimes you talk to individuals and like they have something happen early in life and, you know, stuff just follows them. for the rest of their lives. Big for Society will be right back after these messages. PNC Bank brings you. Call of the Wild Money Moves. You hear that?

Did you need 15 seconds away from music or 15 seconds to eat or Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a Reese's. And you are kind of putting yourself in the situation as well. Let's, you know, we'll make that clear. You're definitely we're going out to different areas, but you have just. just had some really intense things happen over the years, Brandon. And it's been a pleasure talking to you about it. Yeah, well, it's been, you know, it's been great being able to talk to you

about this, Jeremiah. And, and, you know, I just, I know for me, like, yeah, I've, I've, you know, I've seen bear. I've seen cougar before, you know, and, and I think at one time a cougar was, I didn't see it, but I'm assuming it was a cougar stocking when I walked back to camp. but I just feel like yeah you know you know but I guess yeah if you put yourself out there in those areas you know yeah there's times where nothing's happened and camping's great alone you know so it's like getting out there and having fun enjoying company you know my wife and I really enjoy camping like I said and getting out there and it's something we do and you know we've gotten to hike up to Mount Mount Rainier around some of the trips

males up there and some of the beautiful fall colors this last year we went up there and it was just well actually went two years in a row up there i do know my i have an aunt that worked up at the up actually at mount rainier national forest up there and this was probably over 10 years ago she actually told me that there was a report one summer i don't remember about what summer but he said there was a report of two different people seeing a white big foot up there and then another one that was you know a different color darker i'm assuming but but i thought that was interesting so she did tell me that and she had worked there so yeah so she she lives really close to mount rain rainier like you know just kind of close to morton it's close it was like mineral morton lb kind of

that whole little area where some of my, my dad's side of the family lives, still lives. But yeah, she told me about that one time. Was that just something that was reported to the Rangers in that area? I believe so. Wow. I believe so. It must have been reported to the Rangers, I think. And, you know, and she relayed it.

But, yeah. That's incredible. Yeah. White, I haven't heard. I don't think I've heard a ton of white Bigfoot reports from. from that area, but I'll have to look through my episodes. A notice too, Leavenworth has got reports, you know, throughout the years around the area.

And I don't know if you ever been over to that town, but it's a pretty neat town to see too. It's this barbarian, you know, town and it's got all these, it's touristy, but it's still neat to see. And then it's pretty beautiful because it's really tucked up, you know, against that, the cascade range, you know, on that side.

So it's really a beautiful setting where it's at. I know there's a lot of reports out of the lake. Is it Lake Wenatchie is in the same area? Something like that. Yeah, there's a lot of reports from out there. But yeah, I've only been able to, I've just stuck around Oak Ridge. Part of the Willamette National Forest is pretty much the main area I've been in so far related to Bigfoot stuff out there. So we'll see where I get to this coming year when I get out there.

again. So. Yeah. So did you, did you happen to, you don't have to tell me too much, but so you had an encounter yourself, right? I have actually heard yours, but so was it in Southern Oregon where you had? So there were a few weird things that happened out there in just outside the town of Oak Ridge. I was out there for the festival, Saswash Summer Fest, and I was going out with the well, Priscilla Roseman Davis, the organizer, I went out with them and Jason Kenzie's film crew and some other people. And to this area where her father had had some really interesting things encounterwise happen. This is like way out in the woods on a service road.

And so we were up there. We had, let's see, we got roared at. There was a roar, and then there was a roar slash scream from the woods at us while her dad was playing guitar. That was pretty wild. Wow. There was a sighting in the meadow right next to it, like five hours before that. That actually is the day before.

But that was the, so that was pretty, that was pretty wild. That area is just so intense. And there's a lot of really intense things that happens in that area. No, in Iowa, I've had stuff happen. I've had, you know, tree knocks, stuff get pushed over. I've heard whoops stuff like that but out in Oregon

I haven't had any visuals yet I haven't had any visuals across the board but the the vocalizations were pretty intense out there and it's just an area where I definitely want to

go back to hopefully next year see what happens so yeah that sounds like they're pretty a vocal out in that area you know which I haven't

really experienced too much up here except for that one night, you know, that they were, that one was vocal. I know just north of where we live, you know, I heard from a lady that's in her 80s now. She actually told me this, but there's a, you know, Colt, a little town that's just north of battleground. And she had heard that there was, I don't even know detail much, but basically a witness that witnessed, like a female Sasquatch giving birth.

and I don't know. This lady is a pretty, like, real. She's not the kind of person that would lie. I don't know who she heard it from, but that is what she told me. So she was a believer. So she believed this person, you know? That's incredible. Wow, I've never heard.

I don't think I've ever taken a report like that before. That would be something else. My goodness. My uncle, which he may listen to this. He probably, he's really in the big. But his was Yam Hill is where he had his, he said, when he was in his 20s. But I actually think I seen the graveyard because it's out in the country, you know, where it was. And it's kind of on his hill.

But no, he told that story for years. And I didn't know. I'm like, well, maybe he's mistaken, maybe, you know, but I think he must have. You know, it's like, but yeah, so there's definitely a lot of areas. And I appreciate, you know, all. over you're doing, you know, these different interviews, but it's really cool to hear them local, too, because it kind of gets you kind of excited in your area, you know, when you hear about some of these other ones that have happened around, you know, so it's kind of got me more and like, I want to talk to

you and, you know, tell you about, you know, even though I feel like... PNC Bank brings you, call of the wild money moves. Shh, listen. Hey, guys. That's the sound of a multi-level marketing. pitch. This is life-changing, you guys. Sounds like she wants you to buy lots of essential oils.

They are so essential. And then have all your friends buy essential oils. Are you more of a geranium or lavender fan? Don't look her in the eyes. Guard against wild money moves with PNC Bank. Brilliantly boring since 1865. Plan B made

Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a recess.

The best one I had was my visual, but it was really very scary as a kid, you know, seeing this thing. And it, this stone-faced look, and then it never blinked, you know, like it was just staring. But the size of it, you know, was pretty short, you know.

And I know when I researched after, I actually looked up the investigator, that researched mine and I found another report up at the same campground and this was about 2001 I believe and it was a couple

like a boyfriend girlfriend, they had a dog they went up to the campground there and they woke up in the morning or their dog woke them up the dog was barking and they heard these loud bipedal stomps going off so I noticed he investigated

that too so I thought that was pretty cool that this guy, you know, didn't tell me about it, but I found it myself up at the same campground. So that's kind of neat. Was that on BFRO or? Yeah, because he was part of BFR. Yes, I believe so. Yeah. So, yeah, so I found that and I thought, well, you know, it could have been the same family. It could have been the same one grown up more, you know. Absolutely. But, yeah. it sounds like it is a encounter you know and you're pretty young at that time but it really affected you for the rest of your life probably set you on a path where you know it was just something you're

always looking into as well i would guess yeah you know i think one of the things i think from i feel like i'm sure a lot of other people it's like i i kind of wish somebody else could have seen what I saw, you know, like nobody else was awake. And, you know, the only thing I questioned my mind is, like, if I would have worked my dad up, which I don't, you know, see doing that, he was clear on the other side, but he did have a little pistol underneath his pillow. I remember that. And, you know, I always wondered if I would have woke him up.

It probably would have been good. You know, especially if this wasn't a full-grown one and there was a mama or daddy out there, not far you know kind of thing so but seeing the fire going too it's like you know it was kind of neat that i could tell the fire was still going in the back in the back it was lit up enough that i could make out a pretty good amount of the face you know and but it was just just the ears was what kind of threw me off really it was the only thing and the hair was hairy but you know it didn't have it had a flatter face like a human. It was definitely very covered with hair all over except the nose and you know, in the, and the forehead. But it just, the way the hair went down all the same

thick length, and it was just standing with his arms down that I knew that it was, you know, it was something that wasn't, it wasn't a man, you know, I kind of ruled out it wasn't, it wasn't a human and, and it was too real looking. It was scary looking the way it looked. You know, It looked, it kind of looked mean in a way. Now, I don't know, obviously, he didn't do anything, but it kind of looked not really happy. The way it just looked, that no expression, you know. Absolutely, absolutely wild stuff. Brandon, I feel like I could talk to you for days, but it has been quite the conversation tonight.

I just want to say, thank you for coming on. Keep me in the loop, you know, if stuff can continue to have. happen or if you hear other things, feel free to definitely reach out. I'd love to hear from you. It sounds like you got some good connections out there.
