It turned around and looked at me. They looked up. in this tree, there was a monkey man. And the monkey man jumped down out of the tree. It started

running away. And suddenly, they're right in front of the car. He slams on the brakes and manages to stop and he's skidding because it's not quite, you know, and grappling.

You've got the pleasure of talking to a new friend on the phone tonight here. we've got Jeff calling in and he is calling in to talk to us about some things that he has experienced. How's it going, Jeff? You got it, yeah. I believe ran into you over on Facebook, correct?

Correct, yep. All right. So I'll let you go ahead and I might ask you some questions along the way, but I'll let you go ahead and, I'll let you go ahead and, start where you'd like to, Jeff. Sure. Well, I'm a 49-year-old, pretty average guy. I live in central New Hampshire. I've been with my partner for 20-plus years.

We have two children together. I'm a carpenter, builder in the area. A ski, snowboard, bike, skateboard. I'm an average solo hiker. strictly solo I love history anything Civil War War II Vietnam

anything like that big buff love archaeology could do zoology of course anything weird paranormal ghosts just love it all

I've fallen down the rabbit hole you know pretty much of all of it and I grew up in the southwestern New Hampshire in a small town called Marlborough, which is a bit of a hot spot come to find out over the years. But recently there has been a documentary that came out about the area, which has sparked my interest even more, you know, of course. But it started when I was, for me, the whole Bigfoot interest started when I was, for me, the whole Bigfoot interest started when I was.

was about four years old when my family went and saw the movie Sasquatch legend of Bigfoot at the drive-in in Keene, New Hampshire. And that really started it for me. I was taken back by it all. You know, it really scared me. It was stuck with me through the years. And I was so vivid. It just took a huge interest in it. And it wasn't but a year later after I saw that movie and I was a five-year-old. I was out wandering in the woods, our local cemetery. And I was five years old, not supposed to be wandering around the woods by myself, of course.

I was up way out farther than I should have been. But I knew those woods and really wasn't scared. made it out about a quarter mile past the cemetery and felt so comfortable that I, you know, I found this brook that I decided to take my shoes and socks off and soak my feet in the brook, you know, I felt so comfortable out there. Like, that's how I thought nothing of it, you know. It wasn't, like, maybe 30 seconds later after I got my feet into the water, I was just overwhelmed with the feeling of dread and that I was going to die. It was just absolute fear.

Huge, now that I look back now, it was like a huge anxiety attack. But whether it was, you know, me feeling that maybe I was a little lost out in the woods, but I wasn't because I knew exactly where I was. But this was something that stuck with me through the years. I threw my shoes and socks on as quick as I could. I didn't run. I walked out of there. I'd take two, three steps, look back.

Two, three steps look back the whole way, all the way until I got to the cemetery. And that's when I hit the cemetery, I felt like, you know, I got in an open area. I got out of the woods. That's when I felt a little bit, you know, more comfortable. and the fear started going away. But it really stuck with me through the years that I felt driven out of the woods, you know. I saw nothing, smelt nothing,

this overwhelming fear that hit me. Like, I've never experienced it since. I really haven't. It's something that's stuck with me through the years. It being in Marlborough, the research through the internet and stuff and come across that old accounts from Marlborough

of the Marlborough monkey from John Horgan, actually, which I just listened to your podcast with him. It was great. And which I reached out to him a few years ago and he was gracious enough to share with me all of his files and stuff

on that is excellent. Loved it. Can't think of them enough. But I could not shake that from me. It really stuck with me through the years and it will not ever leave me. You know, it was something that is like the worst anxiety attack I've ever had. And I'm someone who suffers from anxiety and depression. And this is something that I'll never forget, ever.

ran home as soon as I got out of the cemetery I ran and got to my house and I told nobody I told nobody what I did out there because I was out the woods that shouldn't have been out there and they wouldn't have you know would ever let me back out there again you know that's that's such a fascinating story did you did you know anyone that has seen um had a sighting of the Marlboro monkey. I'm just curious about that as well. Well, come to find out, you know, after years, I talked to my brother about it.

And he's like, yeah. He knew of a couple of people in that same, not far from where I was. And he himself was growled at out hiking out there with his girlfriend. Really? He said it was like the deepest growl it was like an earthquake

and so that's what he kind of shrugged it off because he didn't want to panic his girlfriend at the time and he just said out you know she was like what was that and he was like oh it's just like an earthquake or something you know and like he knew it was no earthquake

and he said it was the loudest deepest growl you could imagine you know and that was not that was not a mile from where I was. Oh, wow. Have you ever gone back to that same spot again as an adult?

Yeah, I was just out there last year. I took my family up to the cemetery because I grew up next to the cemetery. I drive by the house and down again to the house. I grew up and grew up to the cemetery. And I happened to just walk out to, you know, I stopped and I walked out to the woods little ways and I wanted to keep going but I didn't have the time but sure yeah I wanted to go out there and go to that brook again because that brook goes to we'd gone out there before that brook goes up to a old spring house that like this a collapsed collapsed spring house it's all dilapidated and it's

all into the brook itself you know that that was probably where I was going at the time you know but I hadn't quite made it I made it to the Brooke. And I was like, oh, I'll just soak my feet. And that was like, the feeling of dread. That's like, that's what stuck with me. Dread.

Like, I'm going to die, like, right then and there. And that's when I, like, threw my shoes and socks on. And I, like, I didn't, I just had the sense enough as a kid. I don't know how, but I just like, don't run. I knew it was bear country. This is in New Hampshire's bear country Oh, sure, yeah You can't go nowhere

You can't go nowhere Without seeing a bear on here So I was like, I knew not to run For some reason I was like Smart enough I like didn't run But I would take two, three steps

And look behind me Two three steps Look behind me You know like It wasn't until like After I started research And in like 2003 2004

That I like Made the connection Of like I could have been Zapped You know Like something to scared me out of there without me knowing it, you know.

Have you ever reached out to the, you're talking about the Marlboro Monkey documentary, correct? Correct. Have you ever reached out to Carrick, St. Laurent as well? I actually met him a couple of years ago. Good, good. I, uh, this is Matt Rogers from Los Coltrades with Matt Rogers and Bowen-Yang.

Actually, he didn't ask me, you know, so I didn't, we was kind of a quick meeting. But, no, I think he was probably in the midst of making it right then, I think, he said. Yeah, would have been about that time, I think. But, man, that's so, so interesting. Yeah, John is, John Horgan was such a cool guy to talk to.

He's the nicest guy. I mean, I could have talked to him for another few hours about his UFO investigations he did. We barely got into that. Stay tuned for more Bigfoot Society. We'll be right back after these messages. That guy has been to every major UFO hotspot over the last 30 years. We have, like, everything in common as far as that stuff is concerned, you know. Even hockey.

Right, yeah, the Bruins. UFOs. Yeah. Yeah. I love it all. The account he speaks of, that his report of his account of the Marlboro monkey is in the Marlboro quarry. And I've been there several times.

Just because I heard that report, you know. And I've been there. You know, just for fun to go in there before I even knew that. Sure. Pretty neat place. Did you notice anything out of the ordinary when you were in there? No. No, it's just old, it's an old stone quarry, you know.

Yeah, growing up in Northfield, I wasn't into Bigfoot and stuff as a kid or a teenager enough to, you know, go look. and things like that. And so I find out now that it's actually, you know, it was close to a relatively big hotspot with the Marlboro Monkey. It just blew me away when I first found that out from Carrick. But it's very cool for you guys. It's pretty neat. Once you get digging, there is some reports in the area in Marlborough,

but they're like, you know, class B, I believe, you know, stuff like that. If you ever hear... of any Bigfoot stuff from like the Northfield Mass, Winchester,

New Hampshire area, you know that area? I'd be really interested. If it ever comes across your plate, just,

hit me up. Not that area. Yeah, I've never seen anything. I've seen a footprint in, uh, in Columbia,

New Hampshire. Oh, cool. Oh, by Colbrook. Yep. I know it. Colbrooks wild, dude.

I've been up there a lot as a younger kid. It's quite the area. Yeah, that was probably 2004-ish. I was out. Me and a friend were fishing in a pond. He let me off to go so I could go answer the call of nature. But he left me out. He dished me off on the, it's a snowmobile trail that comes off of the lake right there,

the pond. And so I walked up the trail a little ways. And then where the tracks, the snow wheel tracks, you know, were dug into the mud, there was a clear, definite footprint mashed right into the ski track. Yeah. There's in this, you know, you know, I put all my fingers in the footprints. Okay. You know, and so it was smashed into the mud.

So where if this was a bear for the claws, most certainly would have shown, there was just no way I could have. It was like six inches down in the rut of the ski track, you know? Wow. And I put, you know, I'd put all my fingers in the foot track. And it was a good six plus wide. Crazy. It's huge. and my buddy would not get out of the canoe to come look at it.

He's like, no, that's all you. You've got to come look at this. Like, nope. I'm staying right here. That's funny, man. Good stuff. Good stuff. There's like, there's no way there's, you know, somebody out here walking barefoot.

It was a rainy, cold weekend. Wow. Like, there's a nobody. Yeah. That's crazy. And it was, there was no way it was a bear track. It was just no way. all winter I've been

seeing really crazy warbs and that's the latest thing that I've been going through okay I cannot explain pretty wild in um in Marlboro area or Keene or no no right right in my in central New Hampshire where I live

oh wow in Multnboro crazy uh down close to you I don't know what to make of that Well, some of them, most of them have been what I call like high flyers. They look to be, they look almost like a satellite, but they're not.

They probably would guess like maybe in the 5 to 10,000 foot range, you know. Interesting. You know, rainbow orbs is what I call them. Really? They just flash. flash every color of the rainbow. And I've seen probably 15 to 20 of them, like all winter. And I just don't know what to make of it.

I just taking my dog for a walk out in the morning and that night, and I see them, you know. I've heard of a lot of really, I mean, right now there's all sorts of weird stuff going on up in the skies. But I have heard of one of my friends got a report from the Swansea area. that there was a sighting of something flying over. This was last week or week before when all that stuff was going on. Was it the Starlink?

Because I happened to see that go over. I got the video over and everything. Jeff supposedly per the witness, and this is on TikTok. So it's out in public. My friend Bethany took the report. But supposedly someone was driving through Swansea and they saw a large object fly over and two jets fly after it. And then they shot it down and they saw it fall behind a mountain in a ball of fire. And a bunch of other cars saw it too because they almost went off the road.

Now, keep in mind, this is like just a witness report on TikTok. So that might not be very reputable. But, I mean, it's very interesting. It's interesting. It's been happening a lot. I know. That's been happening a lot, it seems like, yeah. So if you hear anything like that, you know, let me know, definitely anything that can, you know, back that up.

But the thing is that we didn't, she hasn't gotten any more info, I believe that, you know, verifies that from any other sources. So. But it's an interesting story. to randomly happen in Swansea, New Hampshire, right? That's pretty cool. Yeah. I love hearing the extra accounts like that.

I just moved. I move, I live in what I call the ossie be triangle. Oh, yeah. There's been all sorts of random odd stuff here, Bigfoot from Bigfoot to UFOs, you know, the orbs that I see, you name it. It's all been seen here. I just moved right to the base of the mountains right here, just over the winter. So I'm like right at the base of the Osprey Mountains right now. Oh, wow.

So hopefully, since I've moved, I've seen one, one of the orbs. But before I moved, that's when I saw the majority of them. over by a lake I lived near. When I travel, I used to commute up the road up along the Osprey Mountains here. On the Route 25, and that's where I've seen several red orbs, the roadside. Wow. Cars driving by everything. Like, nobody.

They're like, nobody cared, not a care in the world, it seems, you know. Like, am I only one team, least? You know? So just recently, I took my daughter, I took my daughter shopping on the way back. I was like, kind of tell her, I was like, like, remember I've told you, I saw some weird lights in this area? Before I could say that, I look up and there's three orbs, I'm not kidding, sitting on top of the telephone pole. Really? The cross member of the telephone.

Yeah. Right next to each insulator of the wire on the wire. Wow. A red orb sitting, like, I thought they were Christmas lights at first because it was just before Christmas. It was just a couple days before Christmas. Oh, wow. And then I was, like, driving by and looking up at it.

I'm like, and I see them moving. I'm like, those are not Christmas lights. I'm like, I had my daughter with me. I'm like, I'm not stopping. I care of stop. that's wow I don't want her to see yeah yeah

that's hard I'm a little kid yeah it was high strangeness it was high strangeness without a doubt and it was like right around dusk

cars driving by nobody's stopping or nothing like so that that area in particular I've seen those three they're sitting on the telephone pole

and then I saw one directly across the street that was just scattering around up on the treetops like the trees weren't there one morning bright red orange softball size it was like the trees weren't even there for it like it was just it was incredible that was like a 15 or a 22nd sighting of that like didn't know what to make of it i still don't you know all of them I don't know what to make of all.

I've seen so many now that I feel like I'm getting picked on, you know? Right, yeah. They know who to come after. Well, you're my guy for high strangers in Southern New Hampshire, no doubt. Man, you're really seeing some crazy stuff out there, Jeff. I don't know if it's because, you know, I've opened myself up. You know, I've fallen down the rabbit holes, you know. I've really took an interest in so many things.

And I've heard of that many times on many podcasts, you know, people that take interest seem to experience more. Sure. That is true, I think, that they start looking for certain things. And you've got to be careful what you start looking at because, well, we'll leave it there. But, Jeff, it's been a fun chat with you. I appreciate you calling up and letting me know about your experiences. And if you happen to have anything else weird happen, please get in touch.
