Bigfoot Society - Years of Sasquatch Activity in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains!

Episode Date: January 16, 2026

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, we travel into Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains to hear a firsthand account that developed slowly, quietly, and persistently. After moving into a rural Appalachian home, artist Christina Salois began noticing subtle disturbances that gradually became harder to dismiss.Unusual sounds inside the house. Animals reacting to something unseen near the treeline. Objects appearing in unexpected places. Signs in the yard that felt intentional rather than random. Some moments were deeply unsettling. Others felt strangely meaningful.As time passed, the activity seemed to respond to attention, awareness, and place. Guests experienced things they could not explain. Physical traces appeared where none should have existed. Certain events raised questions about proximity, awareness, and whether something was paying attention.This episode explores what long-term encounters can look like when they happen close to home — and how they change the people living with them.🗣️ Share Your StoryHad a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?Send it to [e-mail] – your story might be featured on the show!🎥 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube🔴 Subscribe here → Bigfoot Society YouTube💬 Leave a comment & let us know your thoughts!📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → Speakpipe (Use multiple voicemails if needed)👥 Share this episode → Watch & Share🎧 More episodes → Podcast Playlist🌲 Recommended: New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters💥 Support the Show & Get Perks✅ Join the community on Supercast – Become a Member✅ Listen ad-free & early on YouTube – Join Here📱 Let’s ConnectInstagram: @bigfootsocietyTwitter: @bigfoot_societyTikTok: @bigfoot.society🧰 Tools & Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)These help support the show at no extra cost to you:Beam (Better Sleep): Try BeamWildgrain (Better Bread): Join HereSeed (Probiotics): Get SeedMedi-Share (Healthcare): Learn MoreLMNT (Electrolytes) Free Sample Pack with your first purchase! : Get LMNTOrganic and non-GMO groceries delivered for lesshttp://thrv.me/uarEhS🎙️ Podcasting Tools:Repurpose.io: Try ItDescript: Sign UpStreamyard: Start RecordingRiverside.fm: Try Riverside🎧 My Audio Interface: View on Amazon☕ Buy Me a Coffee – Support Here🛍️ Grab Some Merch – Shop on Etsy📬 Mailing Address:Bigfoot Society125 E 1st St. #233Earlham, IA 50072

In this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring you first-hand encounters from people who say they've seen something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to quiet farms and crowded highways, the stories come from everywhere. And each one leaves us with more questions than answers.

These are the voices of the people who've lived it. So settle in because today you'll hear another account that just might change the way you see the woods forever. So stay with us. All right, Bigfoot Society. Thanks again for coming back to another conversation. This time we've got the privilege of talking to Christina Saloy. Christina is an artist living in the Blue Ridge Mountains area of Virginia. She's got a background in studying shamanism and energy works.

Welcome to the show, Christina. How are you doing today? I'm well. Thank you so much. Awesome. It looks like we are good to go so far. But as I was thinking about this particular area, it has come up a few times on the show. The Blue Ridge Mountains definitely has some interesting things going on, Bigfoot and other things related.

There's some weird stuff out there. But, you know, Christina, is there anything else that you would like the audience to know about yourself before we get started with our conversation? I don't think so. I think anything that's pertinent will come up in conversation. And yeah, you're mentioning about the area that I'm in. I am based in Franklin County. And there have been documented occurrences in Franklin County as well as Bedford County, which is very close to here. So it definitely is an area with activity. Christina, feel free to take us. back to, I believe you had said this first started happening for you way back in 2021, feel free to take us back to when you first started noticing that some things were out of

the ordinary. Okay. So I've never had a particular interest in the subject of Sasquatch and really no prior knowledge outside of seeing a show here and there on television. but I'm originally from Rhode Island, and my partner is from New Jersey. And in 2021, we moved to Franklin County, Virginia. And we settled in a rental that had been constructed in 2010 and was actually vacant for 10 years with nobody renting it due to family stuff.

And so pretty much immediately, when we moved in, my partner started talking to me about the Appalachian Mountains and things that people have said about the area. He had spent some time in Tennessee and just knew that, you know, as a sensitive person, there are certain things that you might pick up on in the area. that's not to like fear monger or you know people always have those stories about the area um i think it's a positive thing i think it's a very like high energy area and um you had talked about the courts in the ground and there there's a lot of courts in the ground like just huge chunks that come out and um so in 2021 there was um a lot of occurrence that come out and um so in 2021 there was um a lot of occurrence of small sort of paranormal happenings that if you didn't have context for what they could be, you might just, you know, say, okay, whatever.

But I've always been a sensitive person. I've had paranormal experiences non-related to Sasquatch. So I guess, you know, it's just easier for me to pick up on some of that stuff. But the things that were happening were kind of peculiar. And one of the first things I remember was this shaking of the bed that happened. And I thought maybe it's an earthquake or, yeah, I grew up in a place where they did like blasting in a quarry, which would, you know, shake things in the house sometimes. But this was very peculiar and it happened maybe about two times. And I didn't think much of it at the time.

But then there was things that were happening as far as like fingerprints on the window or a print on the refrigerator. And if you talk to people that have experienced these prints, they're very, very oily usually. And unless, you know, my partner was like frying chicken and then wiped his hand in grease and, you know, put it on the window. like it didn't make any sense why there were these greasy prints appearing everywhere. And the quality of them, you would see these like lines, whether they were, I don't know if lines in the skin or hair that was in the print making an impression. But that was happening a lot. The other thing was a, the smell. And this has happened a couple of times when I've been outside on the deck.

and the smell is like I know some people have described it as like a musk it's very strong some people also say it smells like rotting flesh things of that nature it's just a very strong smell that has come and gone just a couple of times another thing

that had happened was this like loud cracking sound that had happened about twice in the house. And it wasn't something, we live in a log home. And so these sorts of homes make noises sometimes. But this sound, it happened when a family member was in the kitchen and it sounded like almost like a plastic water bottle like a crack right behind his head. And he turns around, he's like, what was that? I'm like, don't know.

There was also a lot of activity around this time happening in this room, which is my art studio. But at the time it was my partner's office. And there was like a bag of baseballs. And one night they started tumbling out of the bag, which, and these were, it wasn't like, the bag wasn't set in a strange way where it was. like very movable or like they would just you know roll out of the bag and um that was interesting then there were other things involving electronics um but before so when this stuff started happening um i started researching more about the sort of metaphysical psychic sort of arena of this subject, which I know some people absolutely shy away from. They don't want any part of it, but I just feel like it's a fundamental part of contact and it's hard to divorce that stuff from the subject.

I did read The Psychic Sasquatch by Kiwani and I was just so enthralled by it. I contacted him via email and we actually had a conversation with him for about an hour and he was just going over his stories things and like for him it was very like matter of fact like yeah this is what goes on and um you know you probably have activity going on out back um one of the most interesting things that happened as well was a one morning my partner came to me and he was like look at these photos and And on his iPhone were a series of, think about like five photos that were unlike anything I've ever seen before. Very different than if, you know, your phone's in your pocket and you get a blurry photo or something like that. They were very like a lot of fractals, like bits of light in a few of them.

And then two of the photos looked like they had been taken inside of home. And you could see a window and you see a white vehicle outside. And those photos, we have no context for that house, the window, the vehicle. And so I've always just thought, like, one day I'll know. Like, one day it will be revealed to me and it like will all make sense. but I still have no context for like those photos, but I do know that it's common for a lot of people to experience photos being imposed on their devices

that they did not take. So that was, you know, initially, that's a lot of the activity. There was another time where, So given my background in studying shamanism, I kind of take the route of I want a connection and I want to build a relationship, which might seem a little funny to some people. But for me, it's like I feel like there is this very intuitive species out there. and I'm someone that has wanted to develop those aspects of myself. So rather than let my physical mind and, you know, analyze something to death over like, is it this or is it not this,

I just go with the notion of like, let me act as if it is. Because I feel like that's a better avenue for generating connection rather than picking everything apart. you know my partner's more of the more like logical one and you know so and he's there are so many instances where he's like yeah i don't know how to explain that but um with that said there was one evening where the television turned on and i just said to them uh hello my friends and i went and grabbed the remote and turned off the tv and it wasn't a situation where the remote was like on the couch and maybe the dog stepped on it or something. And then once I turned the TV off, about a minute later it turned back on.

And so these sorts of things, you know, in terms of like paranormal stuff, some people might attribute it to like poltergeist activity or things like that, but it's like, that would have to be an extremely powerful poltergeist to facilitate. facilitate that sort of influence on electronics and all this sort of stuff. And I have, you know, a few other things. But if you had any questions or want to interject. No, I can, you guys are really going through it. I definitely have some questions so far.

So the fingerprints, how are these, can you describe? the size of the fingerprints? Yeah. A lot of times they are, they're partial. So it's not, you know, as straightforward as like a full handprint. But a lot of them have been like a smear across the window in areas. There was one that appeared on the dinner table. And I mean, I have.

small hands, so I don't really have, you know, context for this. But the fingerprint, it was larger. It was like one long greased fingerprint like on the table in the middle of the table. It was quite large. It was larger than, you know, any of my family members or my partner would have left. Okay. Gotcha. And I guess specifically with, so let's, let's imagine like there's a smear on the finger or on the table, right, like that. The size of it going across as it comes down, was that the same size as our fingers, or did it seem to be a little wider?

Wider. Okay. How much wider would you say? I mean, take the average, like, large man, maybe like twice as large, 2.5 times as large. Sure. You mentioned that the residue left

behind or that or it seemed to be oily. How hard was it to, were you able to clean the areas that had this oil left behind? Yeah. I mean, with, you know, your typical like degreaser product. Okay. But I mean, it's, it's slick. It's on there. Okay.

Did it have a certain color to it? No color. more just like just like grease like clear oily not so much clear like maybe a little bit of white film but not

not apparent okay did all fingerprints were they all inside the house or were any of them outside the house as well oh inside and that's the thing like all this activity is happening in the house

okay so there's nothing going on outside that you can see there's i'll give some examples so there's no um things being left outside no animals that are not alive anymore no weird tree things um well there is this one it i mean i so there has been some interesting stuff happen outside um And I wasn't going to bring this up because I'm like, I don't know if I can really attribute this to them. But I had been on a kick of watching like a possum videos. And I just thought, oh, they're so cute. Like I never thought that much about opossums. But also like Appalachian culture has sort of an affinity for possums, too, it seems.

but I had been outside with taking one of the dogs out in the front yard on a leash, and I turned around and there was a dead baby possum. This is Daniel Fischel.

In the yard. And I just, that could be a coincidence. It could have wandered into the yard. But I found the timing very peculiar that I had been having all this focus on opossums. And it was like literally two days, three days later. And I had been thinking about like, I'd been watching rehabbers and thinking like, what would I do if? I came across a baby opossum and like these sorts of things. But it was very odd, the timing.

That's extremely odd. And that lines up with a lot of other things that I've heard that are very similar where the focus is on something and then that thing that the focus on, as you said, ends up coming into the real world. Not to get into too intense a conversation about it. But so the baby possum. Did you notice anything out of the ordinary about it the way that it, so no longer alive, but just there? Was there anything out of the ordinary about it?

I mean, I've never come across something like that before. I didn't focus on it too much. I told my partner, he removed it from the yard. But, I mean, it looked pretty peaceful. It wasn't, you know, mangled or. Okay. Had any injuries that I could see. Okay, that's good.

So no, like not missing head, no broken neck, not like it would have been wrung out or anything like that. Okay. That's good. That's good because sometimes that comes up. The cracking, you said it was a sound that was similar to like a plastic bottle being hit. Did that happen inside the house then or outside the house? Inside the house. And that happened at least two times.

Wow. Did it sound like the sound was in the same room as the people that heard it? Yeah. I mean, the first time it happened, I mean, it's like an open concept, kitchen, dining, living room. The first time I had heard it was out there, and I just thought that is very peculiar and loud. the second time it happened I was in the living room area the family member was in the kitchen area but I mean that's like 10 feet away and this sound

sounded like it came from behind him maybe by like seven feet he's a big guy and doesn't scare easily and he turned around like what was that? Okay okay so yeah relatively close

close, pretty much same room kind of sounds like. Yeah. And definitely not a plastic bottle there at all. No, no, we don't have the sort of single-use plastic bottles. Right. I gotcha. That is very weird. What kind of, and you don't have to get super into it, but it might be interesting. So being in, what kind of art is it that you're focusing on as an artist? The art that I focus on as an artist is a lot of cute stuff, a lot of animals, a lot of nature inspired, you know, basically just taking nature-based things and reimagined. them in a very like colorful sort of way.

Okay. Gotcha. I also do a lot of geometric style art like mandolos and sacred geometry. And there wasn't a occurrence I can talk about that I was in my art studio and I was thinking about what sort of geometric piece I wanted to create and sort of like the general outline. line of it. And I started working on it. And then I have a couch in my studio. And our hound dog was looking at the window and started barking hysterically. And he's got, you know, different levels of bark. He's got the mailman bark, the neighbor bark, the I see a cat bark. He was hysterical.

and staring down from the window, staring down at the tree line or the hedgerow in the yard. And I am looking at the window and I'm saying, what is going on? What is it? And normally when this happens and he gets worked up, I see a deer or a cat. And usually cats, they give you a moment. They sort of freeze and then they start walking off. he was barking in his line of sight was so exact in this one area and I thought this is so strange and he wouldn't stop finally I think I shut the blind he calmed down and then it was I think it was later that day or the next day I was walking outside in that area and I saw this arrangement of twigs in a geometric pattern.

And I looked down, I looked up, and I looked at the eyeline site, and I was like, oh, this is exactly the point that he was looking at outside. And I thought it was interesting because I had been working on this geometric, excuse me, geometric piece of art and just focusing on that. And then to see this arrangement of twigs in a very harmonious pattern, I would say. And like, I'm a very visual person. I'm very much aware of patterns in nature. I've seen enough landscapes, been outside enough, that this arrangement stuck out to me.

It seemed like it was too perfect in a way. It wasn't over the top. It was very simplistic. but to step on a twig or a bunch of branches and have it arranged that way seemed very peculiar that that would just happen randomly um and i had been listening to years later because this happened maybe like three years ago um this past year i was listening to someone on bigfoot eyewitness radio and this guy was talking about glyphs. And I was like, I know exactly what he's talking about.

And he's like, oh, you go to my Facebook, check out what I have on there. And I went to his Facebook. And sure enough, they were very similar patterns, just very simple arrangements of twigs. But yeah. Gotcha. Okay. So that's interesting. So I was going to follow up by asking if you've seen this pattern in

any other pieces of art, but you've pretty much seen a similar pattern in this gentleman's photos from that interview. It sounds like, okay, cool. And did you also show this to your partner as well? Yeah. What was his, what was the partner's reaction? I don't really recall at the time, but he's mostly supportive of everything. Right. He doesn't really, he's very open-minded. So, Yeah, I think he was like, that's definitely interesting and didn't either, you know, like, confirm nor deny. Okay. Very cool. Has there ever been a time inside the house where you've seen something that you think could be causing all of these things?

Well, there's two incidences where one I did not experience directly and one was not inside the house, but it was outside the house. So I'll start with my experience first because it happened chronologically first. And this was early on when we got there. And I think this was even before, this was before I spoke with Kewani and red psychic Sasquatch. And I did not know there was such a thing as like a quasi-physical experience. And it was evening time, a little past like dusk. It wasn't pitch, pitch black yet. But I was outside on the deck.

and all of a sudden this sort of quasi-physical form seemed to come over the railing and come before me. And I remember this sensation more than anything because the form was not something that I could like draw out for you and say like, oh, it had a definite shape. It just appeared like a movement before me. and then there was this feeling of like, almost like dilation of the heart center. Like the only way I can describe it is for some people, if you've ever experimented with psychedelics, sometimes you know you can get this feeling of like it feels like your chest is expanded. And it was so odd. And my brain has a very hard time.

putting that into context because when you, I don't know, I just don't have, that's one of the things that I seem to question the most about this experience because I don't have, it's just hard to contextualize. It's hard, because it was a felt sense thing. It wasn't something I just saw. It was a feeling that was brought upon me or affected me. And it just now I think about it. And I do know that like when people have sightings, a lot of times they have this overwhelming fear response or just this adrenaline that comes over because you're witnessing something that you have no established belief for.

Even if you do believe them, there's so much that your brain's like trying to figure out like what is this. what's happening. And I think there's also like a vibratory frequency thing to interacting with something that is of a different frequency. So yeah, that happened. Okay. Wow. That's wild.

So just to clarify for me, so you had a definite emotional response, but were you also able to see something visually? too? The visual was like it wasn't really a mist or anything. The best way I can put it is

for anybody that like sees energy patterns like we don't just exist in like empty space. We're basically in a big energetic soup of you know particles that are

vibrating. So the way that this appeared was it was just this movement just this sort of rounded movement coming towards me stop and it wasn't like white static or anything but there was a

difference in like the I don't know I guess the vibration of the molecules or something it was creating like this sensory experience is the best where I can put it. And then it just went as quick as it came. It was a very short interaction.

Was it a certain color at all? No. Okay. Oh, man, my mind is splitting off into about 20 rabbit trails, and I'm trying to concentrate. So did you ever watch the show Lost a while back? No, but I know what you're talking about. You know what I'm talking about, the smoke monster?

No, I know of the show. I don't have a context for that. I would be interested after this, look that up. And I'd be curious if it's similar to that at all. I'm guessing probably not. But the thing about your account in this part is so similar to an incident that an individual told me about in around Lolo Pass Road, just outside of Mount Hood, in Oregon, where pretty much they saw this like panther type shape morph into this like weird cloud thing and then go over a creek out in the middle of the woods.

It's just very strange. And that might not be anything similar to what you saw. So you had that experience and then you said you had a second experience as well. Well, this experience was told to me. We were having guests. over and they were staying at our house for a few days and we didn't know them that well but they're friendly enough and it was a husband and wife and the husband like first night had been talking about paranormal experiences and he had said you know that his goal in life was he wanted to have a

experienced with extraterrestrials, and he wanted this. Like, he was, he wanted it. This is Daniel Fischel. And Ryder Strong from PodMeets World. Cat parents unite.

Made for summer only at Starbucks. At the get to the 50, I've learned some things, like the value of the family, the importance of the work, and that the

99% of of the people of more of 50 have the virus that causes the Culebriya. Although not

all the people in risk they'll do you know, I doofs a rupture with ampollos months,

making that even the more simple are all a real realtor. No, learn about the Culebrilla

to the way different to do you talk or pharmaceutical, patrocinado for GSK. And our

remember saying in my head because I know to me like you can talk to Sasquatch so I remember saying like are you going to show yourselves to him like are you going to give him an experience because to me they have a very extraterrestrial nature and there's also you know the whole UFO connection stuff which is its own separate thing but um so that was the first night he's said that. And then I think it was on the third day that they were staying with us. They got up in the morning and they came down. It was a little bit like later in the morning that they came downstairs and he looked disturbed. Like could not contain himself, looked worried. His wife's like, just tell them. Like you can tell them. And I'm like, yeah, tell us. And

what he said is that because they were staying in there's like a loft bedroom space upstairs say it's a loft but you know it's a proper bedroom um but it's like a split level um so they were staying upstairs and he said that in the morning there had been to what looked like a pair of glowing eyes on the door um and he said, you know, he's like, I'm in there, I'm playing with the blind. He's like, I thought it might be the battery operated candle. I'm messing with that. But he's like, they wouldn't, there was no change moving the blind, finding, he was looking,

there's only one window in there. There's only one light source, and that room doesn't get a ton of light. It's pretty dark, you know, in general. So, and then eventually they just went away. But he was very, his wife and him were very, they were a little bit shook. And it was something they didn't have, you know, any contacts for. So just a random pair of glowing eyes inside the house. Mm-hmm.

Did you say what color? I think he said they were like a glowing, like yellow. He didn't say like red or anything like that. Is there any part of the inside of the house that the dog will not go near? No. Okay, cool. No. Gotcha.

Also, your friends that had this experience, did they know about the other stuff going on in the house before it happened? Okay, awesome. That's great. Yeah, so they had no like they weren't influenced in any way. No. I mean, I had been keeping a journal of things going on. But no, I never said anything about that. Oh, my goodness.

Can you talk, you alluded to you've been having electronic issues around the house? No electronic issues. Just the, what happened with the television going on and off. And then the photos imposed. Okay. There are two more things that happened outside the house. Oh, yeah, sure. So in 2022, it would have been November of 2022.

I had been walking outside because this was before we had fenced in the backyard. So when I was taking the dog out, it always be on a leash. And I'd walk the perimeter of the backyard and into the front yard. I in this area outside of our garage I saw something in the ground that looked like

I didn't know it was just I didn't think much of it I was like oh there's a hole in the ground kept walking and went inside and then I think it was maybe one or two days later my partner had been out there and he said did you see this hole in the ground?

he's like it looks like a print and um i said you know i did see that but i just i don't know i think because i had an idea of how a print may appear what it would look like the size of it you know you see castings of these massive prints um and i didn't really think much of it but when we were talking about it, we were outside and I put my hand in where the print was and you could feel the curvature of the ground of where like, you know, the heel would be in the ball of the foot and the toes. And that area of the ground is, you know,

Virginia soil is like very clay-like and that area has a lot of rocks. it's not an area that gets very, you know, it's not squishy. There's not rainwater that runs off there. And this was in November, so the ground was, you know, fairly solid and it had been dry. And even my neighbor came over and her and my partner were outside, like, you know, trying to stomp into the ground and see, like, with all their force, if they could make a print in that area. and there was just no way.

So we did do a casting. I can show you. Oh, yeah, sure. So we did do a casting of it. That's pretty solid. And, you know, it's not that deep because it was kind of like a shallow print, but it's also hard to make out. So, but we put hair spray in there to get some of this stuff down and then put the

plaster of Paris, but you can see there's like toes. It's hard to translate on camera. But also, I'm not laughing at the print. I'm laughing at how good it looked. And I was expecting something way not like that looks really good. Really good job doing that. Thank you. And so I thought maybe it was a. juvenile due to its size. I was like, okay, this looks like, you know, I don't know, my partner's like his size 12 foot. This is a little bit larger on par with that, but the width really across, you know, footbed here is quite large.

But the more that contact has gone on, I tend to feel like it's probably a female, small female. Okay. And it's just sort of like, I guess it's just sort of the feeling that I get about the energy exchange. Right. And the interesting thing about where that print was is, I think I mentioned to you that I feel like there's a portal that comes through that area. And this is something that other people have talked about as well, where portals can move along. like meridian lines. And for anybody, like,

one of the most interesting things is about like energetic lines in the earth. You watch dogs, a lot of times when they're going to the bathroom, they'll do these circles and they're circling and circling and then they'll go in these certain line areas. And I had read about it and it was like, oh, they're basically, lining up with the magnetic, like, electric sort of lines of the earth. And, you know, when you study shamanism, they talk a lot about portals.

And then if you look into a lot of people who have had sort of like the paranormal side of these experiences, they've said, they've mentioned portals. it's this area of the yard doesn't always feel as electric as other times and I do think it sort of moves up and down this line from the back of the woods there's also a creek back there according to season and we'll move up even all the way across the street into the pasture across the street I can't prove that it's more or just a feeling. But what's interesting about that area, too, is my neighbor had planted a bunch of seedlings,

and they were quite established. And then it was either, I think it was this year or maybe late last year. One of them in that area was completely bent over. And there's just, I mean, this wasn't established, like it was a pine tree. And it was quite large. I'm like 5'2. The pine tree was about my size, maybe a little bigger, maybe six feet. And we do have a lot of wind here, but it was just very peculiar because of how it was bent.

And I thought to myself, yeah, if something had appeared there and wasn't expecting, you know, could that be. tree have been bent like that and not cracked because, you know, it's young, so it's probably more supple than an older tree. But that had occurred. So you have a really interesting combination of things you can see and things you can't see, which usually when I get reports like this, it leans one towards one or the other, but there's a really interesting combination starting to happen. Have you ever taken the time to really look at that casting that you made and notice anything weird about it?

Any markings or anything like that? I wouldn't say anything weird. Yeah, I wouldn't say anything weird, really. Okay. I more so just remember putting, like, putting my hand in the print and realizing like, no, this is a foot that was, this was not a shoe. This was not, it was a foot that made this pride. I'm sure there's like, there's dust particles on your side, but there's like, there's, it'll be really interesting when I look at the video of this, but I just saw like two,

to, uh, it was probably like a light burst going back and forth, uh, above your head. Anyways, um, what I'm kind of alluding to with the track thing is sometimes on certain tracks, you'll actually pick up what's called dermal ridges, and they are the equivalent of like our fingerprints, but you can actually see them on the cast. So you have to get really close to it and know what you're looking for. But if you see things that look like swirls and really like a fingerprint on the cast, that would be really cool if you're able to capture those. But so you have pretty much toes on that cast too, right? Yeah, that's awesome. My goodness. because, I mean, how many, how many times have you made Cass?

Is it just that one time? This is the only one. Wow. I mean, there was in that line of sight, again, if you're moving from outside the garage, into the garage, there was one day where I was bringing the trash out. This was this past summer. And I had noticed this spot on the ground that looked. oily and also had ridges.

And I didn't think anything of it because I don't know, sometimes my brain, I'm just like, oh, whatever. Like it doesn't, you know, I don't know, register. And I think it was that day or the next day. My partner says to me, Christina, did you see this out here? Like, what's? And we were both looking at it and he said, you know, this is an area of the. garage we walk by all the time and he's like I don't remember spilling anything here I don't

know why this is has appeared and we were looking at it further and it looked like an impression with those ridges in the cement or yeah the concrete and it's like it was strange because, you know, it's, we were talking about it like, well, was someone poured the garage concrete and, you know, was stepping on it with bare feet? Like, was this left from something else? But it was like, it was a very strange spot in the garage because it was, looked like it had like oil stain. And then there was the impression on the floor. And again, it's in that strange line where if you were to follow a diagonal line, it's the same area upwards from where the print was cast. Okay. And where the tree had been bent. That's some really interesting stuff. Yeah, go ahead.

There was, there was also a time this happened early on when a lot of this activity was happening where my neighbor, she's an avidavit. Gardner. This is Daniel Fischel. And Ryder Strong from Podmeet's World. Cat parents unite. We have to look out for each other. Yes, we all know the feeling of being ignored by our little babies a little too well.

Work can always wait. And 99% of people over 50 already have the virus that causes shingles. Not everyone at risk will develop it, but I did. The painful, blistering rash disrupted my life for weeks. Don't learn about your shingles risk the hard way. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today, sponsored by GSK. And she woke up one day and all the pairs from her pear tree were missing. and you know we're no strangers to animals we have plenty of deer around here she's you know

consistently in a battle with the deer over maintaining her crops and keeping them out but it wasn't like there was any pieces or it was like a very clean sweep where there were pairs and then all of a sudden there weren't pairs and she's a very open person and we've talked about this subject with her and she's uh she ended up telling us she's like i went out to the edge of the woods and i told them that they can take half but they have to leave me half and um i mean she hasn't had any incidents like that since but it's very interesting that um they were all just they all just disappeared off the tree yeah no trace of like i don't know The way, you know, usually around here you would see deer droppings.

If they were standing under a pear tree and removing all the pairs, like there'd be signs or hoof prints or things like that, which there were none. There was also, so my last point of contact that I can say, like, for certain was a point of contact happened this past March. but it related to something that had happened like a year prior. So I'm a very like avid Christmas decorator and I take decorating the Christmas tree very seriously. It's like, you know, one of my big joys for the season. And this is about not this past year or so the year before. I had been thinking about them because sometimes I just think about

Sasquatch at different times a year. I don't know why. I tend to feel like they're not in the area all the time and there's certain times of high sensitivity in the area where things just feel more active or alive. And after I had been decorating the Christmas tree, this might have been like a day or two afterwards, I noticed that there was a stick in the ground outside that was perfectly straight up and looked

like a little tree and it had its branches out like that. And could it have fallen from the tree? Sure, that happens around here. It gets really windy. If the ground is supple enough, you'll have twigs that stick in the ground. But I found this interesting because it was. out in the front yard and it was perfectly straight up and the way the twigs pointed out made it look like a little Christmas tree. So, you know, in the spirit of like just going with the flow,

I thought, oh, well, in that case, if they were watching me or they know I love Christmas and that was their version of while I'm decorating the tree, they put out a little symbol of a tree, I had these little Christmas ornaments, so I hung one out there on the twig. And I had left that twig out there with that ornament for months and months and months past season. And then sometime during the warmer weather, I was picking up sticks in the yard, and I removed the stick, and I took the Christmas ornament, and I put it in my collection of like little feathers and all that stuff. So I put it in there like this and put it off to the side and didn't think much of it. Then this past March, I had, there was a lot on my mind and I was just sort of thinking about a lot of things and feeling like, you know, just like tough stuff in life and sort of

thinking about like channeling like support from the cosmos so to speak like and also thinking about Sasquatch and being like oh god I just hope everything like works out and um a little while after that maybe like a week or so I had been walking in that area because the area where the twig was, where I'd put the little ornament, I always walk through around that area to fill up the bird feeder. And in my path was a little ornament on the ground. Oh, wow. And I thought to myself, now this happened.

I mean, this must have been almost a year from when I had put the first ornament out there. removed the twig with the ornament and then this one appeared up there. And we don't use real trees. So it's not a situation of like, oh, I was decorating the tree and it went out, you know, to the recycling by the road and this rolled off into my path or something like that. And then I thought, am I insane? Did I just leave the first one out there and forget? yet. And I went inside and I was like, no, because I put the first one with all the feathers. And then I have

the second one here. And these were all packed away from the Christmas tree. And I just thought, well, that's interesting. And I just always took it as like a sign that they're here and they hear me. And you know, just like a very supportive sort of loving sign. And that's really the last point of contact that I can recall this year. And that happened in March. I also feel like I've kept most of this to myself outside of a few family members that I trust because I feel very, you know, strongly about the subject. and I don't care to like defend myself or, you know, like there's a lot of people that when you say this sort of stuff will be like, oh, well, she's crazy.

Another like schizo, you know, whatever. And I've been an intuitive person my entire life and I've experienced things that are just totally outside the realm of what a lot of normal people experience. and I just, like, the subject's very close to my heart. And I thought to myself, you know, I had thought about, I've listened to a ton of, like, big foot eyewitness radio. And I thought, will I ever share this stuff? And I thought, I will share it when it organically happens and when they want me to share it. And it will just arise very naturally as it did, like I commented on one of your posts. and about the courts in the mountains.

And you gave me the opportunity to share my story, which I appreciate. And I think they, I personally feel like in situations like this, in most contact situations, like, they are going to give you what you need. And this is according to, like, they're leading the show. They're running the show. And that's why each person's contact experience is totally unique based on that individual. What they're, I mean, most people, like, in regards to the ornament situation, they're not going to track a synchronicity over a year.

But the way my brain works is I can. So it's like, I feel like it's a challenging, fun game. And I also think that, you know, a lot of this has to do with our own nervous. system and our emotions and our beliefs and that also drives our contact experiences and how it unfolds. Such a fascinating story. And thank you for sharing it. There is one other question I wanted to ask. Yeah. So you mentioned during the time you're sharing that you have addressed them as you said like, hello, my friends. Has there ever been a time you feel where you talk to them directly and ask them to do something? And then there was some sort of response from that?

No. Not really. No, I haven't actually, you know, in the case of like, will you make a noise or something like that? I've never presented the situation like that. I would say the closest thing to that would be the situation with the situation with, the ornaments and feeling that at that time in March, like, I wanted some sort of recognition like that I'm supported in life, in this situation. And so that ornament appeared in very close succession after that. So. Gotcha. Would you ever want the opportunity or chance to be able to actually see them? Oh, yeah.

life goals yeah um i mean something that's interesting about this area too is that so we are over by smith mountain lake and there's all these little peninsulas and there's been a ton of construction going on in the back logging and um contact is not like it was a lot at the beginning and it's very sparsed out as the years have progressed. And I don't know if that construction has anything to do with it, but that used to just be all wilderness and now it's not. So as far as this peninsula area, if they were inhabiting this area, the land has definitely been clear cut in a lot of those areas. That's very interesting. It will be, you definitely

I would say please keep in touch with us to let us know if stuff continues to happen it might be interesting a wise man from Oregon named Bill once told me that he asked

if I was ready to see a big foot and I was like well yeah he's like we'll let him know you know so it might be something to take into consideration

But it just is a fascinating journey and also a cool part of it is that your partner is there with you through through everything, even though it sounds like there's a different way of looking at things. You know, you guys have two different minds, but you're still noticing the same sort of things, which is extremely cool. So Christina, thank you so much for coming on on the show and sharing and. And hopefully listeners were able to learn something from your story. I'm sure that they were. But I just want to make sure that you were able to share everything that you had wanted to come on the show to share today. I was. Thank you for the opportunity.

or if you're a National Park Ranger or Forestry worker who's been told to stay quiet, if you're a pilot who's seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're with the FBI, a federal agency, or working intelligence, and you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about. And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense, if you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field or trucker with government contracts, and you've had something happen that you've never told a soul, and if you're a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under contract, who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.

If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a spiritual retreat, and you saw something that shook your faith, or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or anything with clearance, and you've seen what the public hasn't, then I want to talk to you.
