Sasquatch Chronicles - SC EP:1113 Attack Of The Drones

Episode Date: December 15, 2024

Garrett writes "So I'll just start from the beginning, I moved to Tennessee with my mom around the age of 8-9 we've lived here ever since. I began a fascination with Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, a few years... later after me and my Mamaw would watch finding Bigfoot on Tv almost every night. Being a kid and growing up watching the show, of course my first instinct was to go and try the things they did and of course that didn't really get much of anything. A few years later me and my buddy got back into the show and we decided to give it a try again. We went to the woods and did the wood knocks and the howls and eventually we got something that sounded like a knock. That was it for that day so we really couldn't say what it really was, but we continued this for weeks and everyday we'd get a knock. Now keep in mind, this area is now huge and while there are big patches of woods a lot of them are getting torn down and developed into schools/houses/neighborhoods. But at the time of this first incident it was still fairly new development with plenty of deep woods. The knocks eventually escalated into whoops and howls as responses and we thought it was the coolest thing ever when we got that first whoop that kinda confirmed to us that we had a Bigfoot in the area. This again continued for weeks until one night we were out there doing the whoops and the knocks and we got this one loud knock that sounded closer than usual, we took a second and did a whoop of our own before we heard thundering footsteps and branches crashing down toward us, we booked it out of the wood line and back to the cul-de-sac that the wood line connected to and made it about 20 yards from the wood line before turning back around to face it. There is a house in that sits directly next to the woods and it had to be around 9-10pm so they had their outdoor flood lights on, we continued to stare until we saw a hand reach around one side of a tree and it stepped out into the flood light revealing itself kinda leaning out from behind the tree. I would estimate it would have to be around 7-9 feet tall but it had a very strong facial resemblance to Patty, I believe it was female I couldn't tell exact hair color as it was dark and I wouldn't have been able to see it at all if not for that flood light, the thing that sticks with me most was I could feel the eyes even though I couldn't see them because they were sunken in its brow. It felt as if they almost burnt a hole in me and that's the one thing I can always remember from that. Fast forward a few years and me and my dad are fishing a spill way in Taylorsville Kentucky, it's a pretty remote spillway that comes directly from a large dam so it maybe had 2-3 other people there that day. It was probably around 5-6pm when we started hearing knocks up in the woods and my dad was never a bigfoot believer but I pointed them out to him and we listened as it continued to this, we then could hear it walking around just out of eye sight in the wood line very large heavy methodical footsteps but you could tell it was on 2 legs, it was pacing for maybe 5-10 minutes before a Red Bull can came flying out of the woods and landed behind another fisherman that was fishing directly in front of the woodline; but after it did that, that's was all for that day. Cut to next day and we went back to the spillway but this time we hiked down stream up in the woods to a launch ramp where we found a crappie hole. We had been catching them cast after cast for maybe half a hour when around the bend of the creek where we couldn't see, we heard what sounded like something jump in the water and cross the creek. We didn't think much of it as there are deer and other animals out there since it is very far out in the middle of no where. After that, a very large oak tree up the hill of the other bank that I would say was probably 6-10 feet around starts shaking and not just like the wind because no other trees are moving, this thing is just rocking back and forth violently and I told my dad "that's the Sasquatch they do that as an intimidation display". It did it for a few minutes before it stopped and then we could hear it pacing back and forth inside the woodline on the other bank, it then started growling/grunting and threw a few rocks before my dad decided we needed to get out of there. We both came to the conclusion that it wanted our fish we were catching as that place is full of invasive Asian carp and you aren't allowed to put them back after catch so most people leave them on the bank to die. Fast forward to about a month ago, I'm 21 and just had my first baby and me and fiancée had just moved into our house in March of this year. The house we live in now is about 10 driving minutes away from where I came face to face with the first Sasquatch for context. We have a 1 year old German Shepherd and as you know they are highly alert and protective dogs. Our property backs up to one other house and a farm followed by woods and the farmer has birds of all kinds- turkeys, chickens, ducks, etc. Well about a month ago my fiancée took the dog out while I was at the gym and she said she got this really uneasy feeling like she was being watched and that our German Shepherd (Bear) wouldn't stop staring at the woodline. After I came home from the gym it was probably 1:30am, not my usual time as I was off schedule and running behind. Most of the time the latest the dog would go out was around 10-11pm. After I got home and got settled I took the dog out, he was in the yard when he froze and normally with him being a German Shepard he'd bark first and think later, but this time he froze and all of his hair slowly stood up before he went into this crazed angry barking toward the woods where I had to pull him back inside, stuff like this continued for about a week until I went to gym and got home late again. This time it was around 2am and I took him out again and to paint the picture for you a little better there's a barbed wire fence separating our property and the farmers property, but as we got outside I heard those same crashing footsteps as I had heard years earlier this one was much bigger probably 8-10 feet tall but so much wider I couldn't get any details other than that and the long hair hanging off the arms because of the light in the yard from the house behind us. But anyway this thing ran up to the fence line and slammed its fist into a tree and let out this deep grunt/growl. I was petrified and I didn't know what to do in the moment and my "guard dog" was frozen in place not barking or making a single sound my first thought was it was going to kill us. My dog wouldn't come to me after I got to the point of maybe I should go inside so I had to go out in the yard with this thing still standing there staring at us and grab my dog and drag him inside. I have more details about that exact encounter and some other stuff that happened leading up to and after that. Last thing I will share is I believe I have a video of the Sasquatch banging on the side of the farmers barn trying to get to where he stores the birds I'll attach it below but you can hear deep thuds followed by the birds freaking out and that video was taken around 1am also so I can confidently say it wasn't someone using heavy machinery or anything like that. Anyway thank you for listening and if your interested I'd love to share more."

Starting point is 00:00:00 It looked like somebody was bent over and had their head in the window of the deer blind and it either heard me or smelt me and he pulled his head out of the tent and stood straight up and that shocked me. They don't make people that big. The way it moved, almost as if it was gliding across the beach. I've never seen anything moves like that in my life. They were screaming at each other in gibberish. It sounded like a language and they were chuntering away back and forwards, back and forwards, back and forward.
Starting point is 00:00:54 I know what a bear looks like and there is no way on this planet that what I saw were bears. What are you reporting? Get somebody out here. What's going on now, sir? That's son of a bitch is about six years. Bitch is about six foot nine, I don't know. Do you see a male, sir? Yes, I'm looking right in.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Uh-uh. Oh, ho. Christmas. Welcome to the show, everyone. Thanks for being here tonight. Got a great show plan for you. We'll be chatting with Garrett, who is from Tennessee. He grew up on this property out there in Kentucky.
Starting point is 00:02:33 And as a kid, him and his friends had a run in with this creature. And he told his father about what he had seen, and his dad just kind of blew him off. and so Garrett and his friends went out after seeing this creature and continued to look for it. Later in life, Garrett and his father would have an encounter while they were out there fishing, and I'll kind of like Garrett go into his encounter. If you've had an encounter and you'd like to be on the show, shoot me an email. My email address is Wes at Sasquatch Chronicles.com, and if you get a chance, check out Sasquatch Chronicles.com,
Starting point is 00:03:09 you can become a member and get additional shows. You know, on last week's show, I was discussing the drones over New Jersey, and I thought I'd give you my humble opinion on what I think is going on. But let's take a listen here again. We want to turn out of that growing mystery in the skies, near nightly sightings of mysterious drones, and they appear to be spreading. First spotted in New Jersey, now in New York, Delaware, Maryland, and elsewhere.
Starting point is 00:03:37 NBC San Brock is in many. of New Jersey this morning with more. Sam, good morning. Yeah, Peter, good morning. Some of the words that we're hearing frequently from lawmakers right now, outrageous, unacceptable at the status quo at the moment of basically wait and see. As Peter, the state of New Jersey just saw about 80 reported suspected drone sightings in a single night. Now, about half of the counties in this state, there are 21 total. So at least 10 have reported dozens of drone sightings. You look at that heat map right there, just from Monmouth County, Jersey. As you mentioned, this has been expanding all across the northeast. The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have waited and said they've reviewed imagery, Peter. And from that imagery have
Starting point is 00:04:19 determined, quote, that many of the reported sightings are manned aircrafts. Now, the FBI has said to the public, there is no national security risk here at all, but we can't exactly explain what is going on. And the mayor of Bellevue, New Jersey, excuse me, said that explanation is lacking. It was the greatest non-answer ever. When you have our governor, you know, going out on social media saying, we don't know what it is, but we don't think it's a credible threat. You can't have it both ways. They are looking for something. I want to know what they're looking for.
Starting point is 00:04:49 There's actually an app you can download. It's called the Flight Radar 24. And what's cool about this app is it'll tell you exactly what's above your head. Even some of these commercial drones, they have to plan their flight path. And so it'll actually show those as well. And so, you know, if you're going to go out there, you're wondering. or is that a drone, is that something else? Definitely check out the Flight Radar 24 app
Starting point is 00:05:14 to kind of give you an idea of what's above your head. And I guess I was wrong about New Jersey. Teresa on X writes, when the government refuses to protect its citizens, the citizens shall take matters into their own hands. This person tries to shoot down a drone out of the air. And I know you guys can't see it, but this guy's shooting at the target.
Starting point is 00:05:42 You got to shoot in front of the target. target. It's backing off. Definitely download the app if you're going to do something like this. And make sure that, you know, you're not over a heavily populated area. I'm not recommending anyone does this. But if I were to do this, I would shoot down one over like an open area, open field. I would try to avoid homes at all costs.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I shouldn't recommend that anyone does this. But I kind of think I would. The interesting part is the drones just aren't flying over New Jersey. It seems to be happening over many states. This report is from Minnesota less than 48 hours ago. Well, this is an interesting story. People in Northfield keep seeing mysterious lights in the nighttime sky. The sightings come as people on the East Coast report seeing large drones that they can't explain.
Starting point is 00:06:51 The East Coast sightings now have the FBI's attention with the White House even chiming in. Fox 9's Mike Manzoni spoke with eyewitnesses in Northfield tonight. And Mike, they're not sure what they're looking at. Yeah, but they say what they're seeing is similar. Maybe not the same, but similar to what people are seeing in New York, in New Jersey. Here's one video here where you can kind of see one or two orbs kind of hovering, floating around. At times they move, eventually disappear. What are they? No one knows. We started trying to follow them, but they won't be followed. They're kind of like they just like they disappear.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Deborah Wagner doesn't know what she keeps seeing over her Northfield home. And then these things whenever anybody would kind of move, come towards them, they'd back off. But her daughter, Chrissy Grady, sees them too. Are these UFOs? Are they a government thing? Like, what are they? It's really low. I know it is. I've got to follow it. There's another one up there. Oh, crap. Chrissy and her kids took this video when they saw flashing lights that moved away after they
Starting point is 00:07:55 spotted them. Well, it obviously sees me. I got to pretend like I'm actually driving. Watched both of them. So now there's four. They started seeing the lights over the summer and now it's a nightly thing. They would come and kind of like hover and then we would go outside and then they would leave. About a thousand miles away in New York and New Jersey, this is what people are seeing in the skies. Eyewitnesses say they look like SUV sized drones. In those sightings, now have even the White House's attention. Obviously, this is something that DHS and FBI are tracking very, very closely. Well, I don't want it to come closer.
Starting point is 00:08:35 As for what Chrissy and her mother, Deborah, keeps seeing here in Minnesota, well, they don't know. Right now, just the unknown is driving us crazy and making us mad. But they do know what you're probably thinking. I was like, oh, man, everybody's going to think, oh, go have another. That's a wine, mom. And Chrissy says she did reach out to the sheriff's office, but they didn't have any answers for her. In the studio tonight, Mike Manzanini, Fox 9. Ontario, Canada, less than 20 hours ago.
Starting point is 00:09:10 It wasn't the birthday surprise Josh Fall was expecting. I looked out into the horizon and I saw about six or seven orbs, I guess. and they were moving around in formation. They were disappearing. They were reappearing at times. He was treated to a light show, courtesy of these unidentified objects in the sky, late Thursday night.
Starting point is 00:09:36 It looked peculiar. It was more bright than an ordinary star, and then it was moving. And then I thought that was a little bit weird. It wasn't flashing like a plane or anything like that. After fall saw the lights for himself, he showed his family. to make sure there were other eyewitnesses.
Starting point is 00:09:53 I really wanted to make sure my family also saw what I was seeing. Like, I wasn't just seeing things. So my mom saw them as well, my dad, my brother, and my sister. But it wasn't just the fall family that caught the lights in action. Several people reached out to global news saying they witnessed the strange occurrence as well, including Evan Ginsberg. I've never seen anything quite like this. It was incredibly bright.
Starting point is 00:10:18 the objects were sort of dancing around at times as well. It was a privilege to see this. It was really interesting, and I was awestruck by it almost in a way. According to one astrophysicist at Queen's University, there could be multiple explanations as to what the unidentified light show was. But it might not be the extraterrestrial answer many were hoping for. I think there are enough normal things right now that we can use to explain. this, especially being the combination of satellites and meteor shower, I don't think this is
Starting point is 00:10:55 something we should be super alarmed about it as of right now. So with potential answers up in the air, the truth is out there somewhere. Caitlin Paubergenic Global News, Kingston. That Canadian scientist sounds like he just gave the U.S. government answer. This is for Morgan yesterday. I guess I'm just as curious as everybody else. I'd just like to know what it was saw. Lifelight pilot Joe Buley has seen objects moving across the night sky before, including satellites and shooting stars. But the bright orange light spotted above the Eugene area was clearly different. The biggest thing that stood out is it was changing directions. Usually things don't change directions. Audio recordings captured his conversation with air traffic controllers.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Moving at extreme speeds, I don't even know how to describe that battery. You are cleared to maneuver as necessary. I left the right to avoid the UFO out there. At least four commercial pilots spotted the same mysterious bright lights above Oregon this weekend. We're seeing three or four targets the other all altitudes up and down. It's pretty crazy. Beulie said the lights showed up on his aircraft's collision avoidance system. On my T-CAS traffic collision avoidance system, it's in one of my middle screens of the platus. You can see aircraft on it usually. And I saw a charge that would stop right on that ring and before it would go back out over the horizon, disappear out over the horizon off the ocean.
Starting point is 00:12:29 So your aircraft's collision avoidance system was picking something up and yet it wasn't showing up on other radar? ATC said they couldn't see it. Researcher Douglas Bittner believes the eye-catching lights may be reflection from Starlink satellites launched by Space X to provide broadband internet. And literally all it is is it's the sun is hitting the, the satellite just right and it's being reflected back into your eye. The lifelight pilot didn't think it was a satellite because of the odd movement he witnessed,
Starting point is 00:12:59 along with his crew. Kyle Oboshi, KGW News. And this final one comes from Colorado. Everybody talking, mysterious drones making headlines again. This time they're being spotted from one coast to the other, from Connecticut to New Jersey to California, large drones being reported flying at night, leaving many residents wondering what exactly is going on. And they're not the only ones. These sightings sparking questions on Capitol Hill, too. And many of you have emailed us with pictures and video showing sightings here in Colorado.
Starting point is 00:13:28 That's right. Fox 31's Ashley Michaels is speaking with experts and getting us some answers tonight. Ashley. Well, this is not the first time. Something like this has come up in Colorado. Back in December of 2019, we had a lot of similar drone sightings all across our state. And now they're starting to be seen again. News of mysterious drones in the skies.
Starting point is 00:13:50 across the country is now captivating audiences in backyards across Colorado. All of a suddenly there was like this bright light and it wasn't just the bright light. It was the lights the way they were on this, whatever it was. They were not in conformed like the plane. She didn't catch it on video at her home in Aurora, but in Elizabeth, someone else did. It was flying very low and it would kind of like stop and then it would go. and it would go very fast, and then it would stop, and then it would go. So it was just really, I just thought it was really strange.
Starting point is 00:14:28 I think the public is right in their concern when they see unidentified flying objects over their house. Chad Kendall is an aviation professor at MSU Denver. He says it can be very difficult to tell drones apart from airplanes. Movement of the vehicle and stationary time of the vehicle may lead to be more of a drone. than an airplane. And even when a flying object does turn out to be a drone, he says it doesn't always mean it's mysterious. There are legitimate reasons for drone operations at night. Less commercial traffic, less general aviation traffic that they may be using infrared. They may be using LiDAR to do surveying. They may not need daytime operations to conduct that commercial operation
Starting point is 00:15:13 that they are doing. Still, people who've seen them want more concrete answers. Is it safe? Is it not, but I think that's mainly everybody's concerned. The problem is, there are no rules requiring drone pilots to tell anyone when and where they're flying as long as it's not in restricted airspace. We did reach out to the FAA to see if they've had an uptick in unauthorized drone sightings in restricted airspace. We did not get an answer from them on that, but they did tell us, don't be surprised to see more drones flying up in the skies, especially this time of year, because drones are very popular Christmas gift.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Ashley Michaels, Fox 31. And this is the White House responding. Let's see what our $842 billion budget for defense, what kind of an answer we get. Now, finally, I just want to add a few comments on the reports of drone activity here on the East Coast, particularly in and around New Jersey. We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat or have a foreign nexus. The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are investigating these sightings, and they're working closely with state and local law enforcement to provide resources using numerous detection methods to better understand their origin.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Using very sophisticated electronic detection technologies provided by federal authorities, we have not been able to, and neither have state or local law enforcement authorities, corroborate any of the reported visual sightings. To the contrary, upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully. Nothing to see here, nothing going on. Don't worry about it. It's not a foreign nation scruing with us. Don't worry about a thing.
Starting point is 00:17:05 That's the end of that. Mr. Government, what are these drones flying above our head? It's one of life's mysteries, sir. Let's actually bring Garrett on. Garrett, thanks for coming on the show, man. Oh, yeah, of course, man. Let me ask you, before we go into your encounter, you know, these drones are being seen everywhere
Starting point is 00:17:25 from the East Coast to the West Coast to, I mean, a lot of states are reporting these. What's your take? What do you think is actually going on here? I mean, yeah, I don't want to sound like one of those, like, people that's like, oh, the government's out to get us and stuff like that, but I feel like they know what it is. feel like they're not telling us what it is and they might even, you know, have something to do with it.
Starting point is 00:17:49 I don't necessarily know if it's a true threat to us or not, but I, you know, I feel like they could do something about it, but they're choosing not to. I mean, people are just saying they're kind of like hovering. They're almost like surveying, kind of, you know what I mean? Like, they're checking out the areas that they're in. So maybe they're trying, if they're not part of our government, maybe they're trying to figure out like weak points or vital places that say if it was another country they would need to attack or something like that because i don't if it's not surveying then that would be the only thing i would make sense is they're trying to figure out where to pinpoint to attack at i mean it i don't necessarily think it's aliens but it could be like i've heard people theorize that
Starting point is 00:18:35 that it could be aliens and this is just their way of kind of you know surveying or checking out what's going on down here before they show themselves. So I don't really know. It is creepy to me. We don't have any here yet. But I'm halfway expecting them to show up here eventually. Yeah, I don't think that you'd have to send in drones to survey an area. I mean, I can Google Earth Area 51 and zoom around that whole place and check it out.
Starting point is 00:19:04 You know, different governments have satellites. They have, they don't need drones to come in here and do this. I kind of, I've also noticed you. know you're in Tennessee, you guys haven't seen them yet. The weird part is they're in blue states. And that's the first thing I noticed. You know, you got Minnesota, Oregon, California, Colorado, New Jersey. And in my mind, that would make sense if what you're doing, you don't want your drone shot down. You know, you fly them over Texas or Tennessee, and this would have solved a month ago because they was shot it down.
Starting point is 00:19:40 I kind of think it's a SIEOP. And I think it's our government doing it for something a lot worse to come. I kind of think the reason why they're doing this is, and the answer is from the government is so shady. It's like really you guys are so lax about our aerospace. Like something's wrong here. What I think is actually going on is it's a SIOP that will accomplish two things. One, it'll get people to start looking up because we have this whole generation now that never leaves their phone with their eyes.
Starting point is 00:20:14 So it kind of forces people to look up into the sky. And the other part is to cause fear realizing you have no control over your airspace. I mean, anything could happen and we're just, you know, we don't know what's going on. We don't, don't, you know, if one crashes, don't approach it, don't touch it. And it's not a foreign adversary. Nothing going on here. There's no danger to the public. it's a sciop
Starting point is 00:20:38 and I really think it's for those two reasons but you know I could be wrong if it's like 10 drones you can be like okay a couple kids living in their mom's basement or screwing around with everyone but multiple states and the size
Starting point is 00:20:54 of these drones you and I can't buy they're too big it just feels like a sayop to me but anyway let's talk Bigfoot man and from your email Garrett, you kind of grew up in Kentucky and kind of walk me into this whole situation because
Starting point is 00:21:13 you had a lot of things going on that property. How did all of this kind of start? All right. So if we go, I mean, we have to go back to probably, I would have to be between six and eight probably. I was up in eastern Kentucky. My grandparents live up there, and so do my aunt and my cousins. And I was up there with one of my cousins staying with him and my uncle. I don't remember where my parents were and my grandparents. I think they were all at their house or something along those lines. And I remember me and him were playing.
Starting point is 00:21:54 And I don't know if you know Eastern Kentucky, but it's like heavily wooded mountains. It's in Appalachia. All the weird stuff happens up there. we had or they had these doors that were like glass windows on the doors and it just let out right in their backyard and they had floodlights that kind of illuminated the yard well me and him were playing and i remember we looked out there and we saw what looked like this big black man standing out there like watching us and we watched him for a minute he didn't move and i went and told we went told my uncle we were like hey there's a guy outside And so he gets his gun and he goes out there and he goes looking for him. He's maybe gone 10 minutes if I had to estimate. He comes back and he's like, don't say that again. You know, like don't talk about it.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Don't bring it up again. It was weird. Like, I can't necessarily say that was Bigfoot, but it was something strange. I feel like it wasn't just a person because I remember it being like all black and it looked huge. Like it didn't just look like a dude standing out there, you know? Yeah, can I ask you what your uncle? I mean, that's a pretty harsh reaction. You know, a bunch of kids come in and say, hey, there's a guy out there.
Starting point is 00:23:07 I'm going to walk out there and find out what's going on. I don't know if I'd grab my gun would be my first choice, but what's your take on kind of his reaction? I mean, looking back at it over the years, they do have, that place has a really bad problem with drugs. Like the whole area does. I mean, there's plenty of people that do meth, cocaine crack, all that type of stuff up there. And there's lots of them. They kind of just wander around. So it could have been one of those people.
Starting point is 00:23:31 you know, just being a creep. But again, I don't know if that's the reaction I would have to one of those people. I almost wonder if maybe he knew something was out there. Like he had run into this thing and, you know, just didn't want it brought up because, you know, to a kid, you don't want to scare a kid, right, by telling them, hey, there's a eight-foot-tall ape man watching you through the window. Like, it's just not something you want to tell a kid. Like, you would just try and brush it off and say, forget about it.
Starting point is 00:24:01 it. Yeah, his reaction kind of really surprises me. Very strange. Tell me about the next incident. All right. So I can't remember the exact date, probably between 2011 and 2013, we moved down to Tennessee. I used to live up in Frankfurt, Kentucky. And me and my mom and my stepdad moved down here. And my grandma would drive down from Kentucky to babysit me throughout the week while my parents worked and then she would drive back up to Kentucky. So while she was here during the week, me and her would like, you know, watch Animal Plan all that stuff. And then we found the show Finding Bigfoot. And I thought that was awesome. I was like, oh, this is cool. Like, these guys are going out there to try and prove that there's this thing out there. So we would watch every episode,
Starting point is 00:24:48 every night. Like, that's when the show was still like, I guess in its prime. So they were showing it a whole lot more. And I remember eventually once I got older, probably about, between 12 and 13, me and my buddy would start going out to the woods. Now, we lived in a neighborhood, so this, like, used to be just all woods, and they cleared it out to put this neighborhood in there. But there were still plenty of woods left with it. So we would go out there and just start doing stuff they did in the show. We would do tree knocks. I mean, we would do the whoop, all that type of stuff, you know, the howls.
Starting point is 00:25:25 And we did it a couple times, a couple different days. Nothing would happen. But then one day we went out there, and I vividly remember this because it's the first weird thing. I got this big stick. I started beating on this tree with it. I did three of them. And we stopped and waited. And then we heard a whoop, like, you know, like a hidden sound all from the distance.
Starting point is 00:25:44 And obviously, that's nothing to go on, but some teenagers that were like, oh, my God, we struck gold. And so we just kept going back out there. And eventually we started doing the whoops and the howls. And after a couple times, we would start getting the occasional, like, like whoop all from the distance or something would just start replying to us. And it was just, it was cool, man. Like, it's like in, I don't know if it knew we were people or if it thought we were another big foot or what, but it would reply to us almost every time at least once. And, uh, then eventually we go out there one day and we do the knocks and we hear the knocks back,
Starting point is 00:26:22 but they're a lot closer than normal. And so my buddy says, hey, do a whoop. So, do you know that, have you ever watched Finding Bigfoot? You know that Howl Bobo does, that real deep, long one? Like, I don't know if he has a name for it or not, but super low and, like, deep pitched. I tried mimicking that. And after I did that, we sat there for a second, and we start hearing this, like, running, but it's super heavy. Like, it's like thundering, running.
Starting point is 00:26:51 And we can hear breaking branches and running towards us. And, I mean, it's probably eight or nine o'clock at night. So it's dark. And we run back out to the cul-de-sac at like the woodlines lined up to a cul-de-sac. And there's two houses on either side of the cul-de-sac, but not in the middle. That's just like wood-line. So we come out of the middle, and the house on the right has its floodlights on, like lighting up the wood line. And we run out to the end of the cul-de-sac and we stop and turn around.
Starting point is 00:27:18 And it goes quiet for a second. But we can still hear this walking, but it's a lot less aggressive. And we see a hand reach out and grab the side of the side of the side of it. of a tree and this I would I'm sorry man it's just like this this this one freaked me out pretty bad too is we this monkey looking person ape man I don't know whatever you want to call it stepped out from behind this tree with its hand on the other side kind of like leaning out and it just like showed itself to us you know like it was like wanting us to know it was there and I think it
Starting point is 00:27:58 felt like it was staring at us for, I mean, it felt like an eternity, but it was probably reality like 45 seconds at most, if even that, it was probably 10 seconds. But it just stared at us and then turned around and walked back in the woods. And I distinctly, the thing that like still kind of unsettles me, like I think about it almost every day. I couldn't see its face because it kind of had, I know a lot of people report them having like sunken eyes behind their brow line. It had this. So I couldn't actually see the eyes because this floodlight was illuminating it. But
Starting point is 00:28:33 the eyes, man, it felt like they burnt a hole in me. Like its stare was just that strong that it like physically felt like it put a hole in me. It was so weird. But at the time, I mean, we were ecstatic.
Starting point is 00:28:49 We thought this was the greatest thing ever. Like, oh my God, we just saw Bigfoot. And I ran home and I called my dad and told him about it. And he was like, uh-huh. Yeah, that's that's great. You saw Bigfoot. You know, like they all thought I was crazy. I tried telling my mom they thought I was crazy too. And I mean, who would believe a 13 year old, especially with that type of thing?
Starting point is 00:29:08 Yeah, scary. I mean, how far away from you was it? It's in the floodlight, but I mean, what kind of a distance are we talking about? I would say at most 30 yards. I mean, it wasn't far at all. I could see, like, I could see like details to tell, you know, it had short hair, a flatter face, like sunken eyes. It had that cone head.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Like, it looked a lot like Patty from the Patterson Gimlin film. Like, it really did. Like, I thought I was looking at it. Like, I thought at the time I didn't realize there was so many of them. I thought there was only the one. And I thought that was it. Like, it was crazy. I'm a big guy.
Starting point is 00:29:46 I've always been big. Like, I think in the fifth grade, I was about six feet tall. So I got a pretty good gauge on when something's big. And we went back out there a couple days later. And we did the thing from finding. you big foot. You put your hand up and you say stop. I went over then. I put my hand up and my buddy told me a stop. And it was about eight feet from the ground to where my hand was. So we think it was probably about eight feet tall. It was pretty broad. I didn't see any genitals,
Starting point is 00:30:13 but I could see the chest. I don't think it was a female. Because I know a lot of people say females have almost boobs. And we didn't see any of that. But I would say the color was like almost a grayish black from what we could tell in the floodlights. And it had like, it had lighter skin. It didn't have the like dark black skin a lot of people report. It was lighter. But it did have a cone head. I remember that too, the cone head.
Starting point is 00:30:41 That's why I think it looks so much like Patty to me. It had the cone head. Do you think it was a call that actually set this thing off? And did you get the impression like it was anger coming towards you? I don't. See, I don't know. I think it knew we were kids. I think it knew that.
Starting point is 00:31:00 So I don't think it had any intention to hurt us. I think eventually it got tired of us messing with it. And when I did that call, that was kind of like the final straw. You know what I mean? Like it kind of just said, that's enough. I'm going to show myself. And it came out there and it showed itself to kind of say, here I am, now leave me alone. Like I felt like it was just tired of us bothering it.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Let me ask you, Garrett. Did you guys ever go back out? I mean, did anything else ever happen? So we did. There's actually some stuff that I haven't talked about. I didn't mention in the email. It's some weird stuff. Like, so we went out there, I don't know, it hadn't been a year later.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Like that, obviously that scared us, so we kind of just stopped. We weren't going to keep going back out there and doing all that. But we went back out there and there was one time we were walking up in the woods. And it was nighttime again, but we were actually going to. to go in there this time. We weren't just going to go like 20 feet in and do some knocks and some house. We were going to go back in there and try to find something. And we had this entrance that we always used because there's barbed wire fence and it was kind of cut in the spot. So we'd always go through there. And as we're coming up on our path, now we had our phone flashlights
Starting point is 00:32:13 and that's about it. We were, you know, 14 and 15. We weren't like professionals, obviously. So our phone flashlights were illuminating the trail in front of us. And we stopped and my buddies like, that tree stumps knew. And we looked at it for a second. I was like, I think that's a rock. And we kept looking at it. And I mean, we were probably like 10 feet away from this. But it really caught us off guard because we know that path.
Starting point is 00:32:38 And we looked at it and we looked at it. And then we realized it had hair on it. And that freaked us out. So we turned around. We booked it, man. I mean, we didn't stay in there. We were that close to this thing. But what I think it was is I think it's possible that could have been a juvenile
Starting point is 00:32:54 aisle, curled up on the ground in like a, you know, that rock position. I've heard where people say they tuck and hide. I think that's what it was. And then there's been the other times we go out there and, you know, we would get a knock and a whistle and that type of stuff. And so we actually thought it would be a great idea to make a YouTube channel about this. And the videos are still out there. They're terrible quality. There was no evidence in those videos.
Starting point is 00:33:19 But we went out to this field that was in the woods and we had a huddle. It was like six of us. We had walkie-talkies. We were getting super serious about this. And as we're talking in this huddle around this tree, I would say, I mean, it would have to be at least like softball-sized rock comes whizzing out of the woods and smacks the tree right above my buddy's head. And it just falls to the ground.
Starting point is 00:33:43 And that's all that happened. But after that happened, we kind of freaked us out. So we didn't film that day. We went home. At that age, like, I didn't think about this thing could actually hurt me, you know? it. We just wanted to keep seeing if we could get it to show itself again. Because like, at that point, we were like, you know, let's get crazy. Let's get a picture of it. Let's see what happens. And another thing that we did for the YouTube channel, actually, we went to Lowe's and we bought one of those like 10, you know, those really big buckets that come with lids. And you can put it on there and it has a handle. It's like a paint bucket type of thing. And we went and got one of those. And on finding Bigfoot, they mentioned they like apples and like apples. And like apples. And pie and beef jerky and that type of stuff. So we put all that stuff in this bucket and we duct tape the bucket shut to make sure nothing could open it and we hung it about
Starting point is 00:34:32 eight feet off the ground in a tree. We've completely forgot about this and we went back in there probably half a year later and there had been a hole punched in the front of the bucket and everything was gone out of it. I'm not one to say it was a hundred percent of big foot but I don't know what else could knock a hole in that bucket that was just hanging from a tree by a rope, especially that high up. Like, there's no other animal that's going to do that. It knew the stuff was in there, and it didn't feel like figuring out the tape, so it just punched through the little lid and emptied the buck and left.
Starting point is 00:35:07 So, you know, we did that. We kept going out, and, you know, not too much, like, crazy stuff happened from there. I mean, there was one incident we can't really say what it was, but it was cold out, and we're in those same woods. And we're probably 100 yards in at most. Like, we just got in there. Like, I think this thing could hear us when we were coming, and it would get up to the front of the woods to run us out.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Like, it didn't want us going in there. And we were walking. And there's a lot of, like, pine trees in these woods. So even when it's cold, they're not, you know, dying. They still have stuff on them, like leaves, and they're still green and all that. And we're walking, and we have our phone flashlights. And we hear a branch snap right behind. us and I'm in the back.
Starting point is 00:35:53 And I hear this like like a kind of a gorilla grunt type thing. And my buddy turns around the flashlight and he said he could see missed like from a hot breath hit my neck. And I felt it too. But when we turned around there was
Starting point is 00:36:09 nothing there. It was weird. Like that freaked me out bad, dude. Like that's one of those things that makes me wonder like what these things really are. Like I don't know how that's possible. that that happened and then there was nothing there. Yeah, that's very strange.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Was that the only weird thing that happened to you out there? I have a story from him that he told me, if you mind me sharing that. Yeah, of course, man. So he said he was out there by himself and it was like fall, so the tree still had a little bit of leaves, but not a lot. And he got pretty deep in there. And he started hearing something jumping from, tree to tree above him, and it sounded big.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Like, he doesn't know what it was, but at one point he saw a shadow jump over him, but he could never see it. Like, he would look above him in the trees, and obviously there's not as much leaves, so you can kind of see in there. It's not going to hide anything. And he couldn't figure out what it was. The only other thing I can think of that was weird was we found this spot in the woods, and it, I mean, there was always the, like, snap twigs or trees that were putting in
Starting point is 00:37:19 X or that sort of thing, you know, kind of like the colds. classic Bigfoot marking signs. But we found this area. It was like these logs had been set up almost like, you know how like people put benches around a campfire? It's like these logs were set up around this mossy patch. And when we got there, we just got this overwhelmingly bad feeling we were not supposed to be there.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Like we didn't see anything or hear anything that time, but it was just an awful feeling. Like something was going to happen to us if we didn't leave. Makes me wonder in those situations if we're conscious of more than what we realize, you know, so strange to get that weird, overwhelming fear, and there's really no reason for it. You know, when you were a kid, you came in and told your dad, hey, you know, I think I saw Bigfoot, and he was like, mm-hmm, okay. This next incident is with you and him. If you would, tell me about what happened.
Starting point is 00:38:20 So my dad lives up in Kentucky still. He lives up around Louisville. And I would go up there about every other weekend because, you know, that's how the whole parental custody thing work. I was probably like, I would say 16 or 17 around this time when this happened. So as you know, a little older, a little more credible to people. And we had this spot. I mean, it was 45 minutes to an hour out in the middle of nowhere. It's just rolling hills, thick woods.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Like, it's a dam. out of the middle of nowhere, and there's a spillway where we had fish. And we go to that spillway. I mean, we'd been there years. Nothing weird ever happened. And we're down there. It's a pretty busy day. And so where we like to fish, it has two sides, you know, obviously, because it's a spillway.
Starting point is 00:39:09 It's running out of the dam, so there's two sides. So we would always go on the far side by the woods. And his other fisherman was over there. And he kind of hiked off the pave area down. the wood line a little bit to just fish a little further down. And we're standing there fish and we've been there a couple hours. And I start hearing off in the distance, sounds like wood knocks.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Like, you know, the thump, thump, thump. And we hear it. And my dad doesn't really pay attention to it. And I hear it again. And I'm like, do you hear that? And he's like, yeah, I heard it a couple times. But I mean, I didn't pay any attention to it. And then they get closer.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Thump, thump, thump. and we start hearing something walking. And I know people like, how can you tell? But we could tell it wasn't walking on four legs. It was walking on two feet. It was something bipedal walking around in the woodline back there. We couldn't see it because it was such thick woods, but we could hear it like pacing almost. And again, thump, dump, dump, dump.
Starting point is 00:40:10 But this one, I mean, it had to be 50 yards away. It was close. And this other fisherman is paying no attention to it. Like he doesn't even notice it. And so eventually the knocks are still going every now and again, and we can hear it walking. We see this can, this Red Bull can come flying out of the woods and land by the other fishermen. And he doesn't pay attention to it. He just ignores it.
Starting point is 00:40:35 And my dad saw that, and he was like, holy crap. Like, he was starting to get freaked out. I could tell he was. And we had to leave eventually because, you know, it was getting. dark and we had, I think we had somewhere to be. So we left, but we were going to come back the next day. And so we did. But this time we went further down the spillway, because it kind of runs into a creek, canoe area, that type of thing. But, you know, still super wooded and out in the middle of nowhere. It actually gets worse on the creek. And this part of the creek we were
Starting point is 00:41:05 on, there was this bend that went around the corner and it was blocked by trees. So you couldn't see around the bend. And it was probably six to eight o'clock at night. It was sunset, starting to get dark. And we had just, found the crappie hole. That's where like, you know, all the crappie are. So you're catching them every other cast. You're just reeling them in, railing them in, realing them in, over and over again. And it was great. I mean, we probably caught six or eight in a row at some point. And we're sitting there. And I hear something like jump in the creek and cross it. And this didn't sound like something little. This was something big. Like you know when like a fish jumps.
Starting point is 00:41:41 It wasn't a fish jump. And this thing sounded huge. Like it may sound like a cannonball. And it goes to the other side and we kind of hear it get out and go up on the bank but we can't see it and there happened to be this I mean I think in my email I estimated it was probably like 20 feet around maybe it was a tree this big old oak tree about 20 feet around and I know y'all got some big trees up there but these oak trees are super sturdy like they're not going to just move on their own and there was no wind that day because it was summer so there was no wind it was Just a clear day. And this tree, man, it just starts rocking.
Starting point is 00:42:22 It starts slow at first. But then, I mean, it's going fast. Like, f, f, f, f, and it's the only thing moving. And I look in my dad, and I have never seen his eyes get that wide before. He looked terrified. And I looked at him. And I said, you know what that is, right? And he said, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:40 And I said, it's that Sasquatch. He was like, oh, my God. He looked genuinely terrified. And so eventually the tree shake and stop, and we could hear it up on the other bank, which was thick trees again so we couldn't see it. But we could hear it pacing the other bank line right in front of us now. And eventually it started throwing little rocks out of the woods, like to the water, trying to get us to leave. And when it started doing that, my dad said, I think it's time to go. It doesn't want us here.
Starting point is 00:43:11 And so we loaded up in the car and we left. I mean, he was actually kind of freaked out about it. He wanted to talk about it, but it seemed kind of hard for him almost. Yeah, but it was real eye-opening after what he had told you. Did you guys have a conversation after this? We did. He actually kind of brags about it now. He thinks it's so cool that he got to have something squashy happened to him.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Did you guys ever actually see the creature in this situation? We didn't, no. We never saw it. It was just such specific things that Bigfoot. Let's do. That's what I chalked it up to, you know? I know they shake trees. I know they throw rocks, throw cans. I know they would knock. I know you can hear them pacing. Like, it's just one of those things where that's all it could be, especially in that part of Kentucky. There's no bears in that part of Kentucky. There's no big predators or anything like that. And you'd have to be an idiot to go out there
Starting point is 00:44:08 and do that as a person. You get shot. Yeah, I think it was one of these things. And it's Like I always say, man, I don't know why, but fishermen tend to get the brunt of the aggression. They're way more aggressive with fishermen than you hear with hunters and, you know, people hiking. It seems like fishermen always get the brunt of it. Did you guys ever go back to this place? We do. We actually, that's our fishing spot, man. Every time we fish, we go back out there.
Starting point is 00:44:41 And I think he hopes at this point something else will happen. Nothing else has happened yet, weird out there. But we go out there all the time, man. I mean, it's a good spot. And I kind of have a little bit of a theory why these things are like that towards fishermen, if you want me to share it. Yeah, please do, ma'am. So at this particular spot, there is a lot of Asian carp.
Starting point is 00:45:05 And these things are invasive. So when you catch them, you just keep them out. You either kill them and leave them on the bank or you just throw them out, let them die. But for how many are in there and how many people, People just go down there to catch them because, I mean, these are 10 to 30 pound fish. They're fun to catch, even if they're not good eating or anything like that. They're fun to catch. You want to fight a fish on the line.
Starting point is 00:45:23 That's what you do. You throw a spoon out there and you get one of them. And so people do that. People just go out there to catch them. And I'm sure they leave them like they're supposed to. I think that this thing, when it saw us catching these fish, it just assumed we were leaving them out. And I think that's what they do. They go down there after everyone leaves and they get the fish that are left out.
Starting point is 00:45:43 They eat them. It's free food. And so I think when it saw us catching all these fish, either that one was really hungry or it was just impatient and it was trying to run us all so it could have the fish. It's a good theory, Garrett. I mean, I could get on board with that. They're probably down there doing the exact same thing you're doing, but they're not going to come out in the open when you're down there fishing.
Starting point is 00:46:06 I could get on board with that. It's strange to me, you know, for as much as they show for us or try to, show force or aggression, not so much force, but aggression. You would think they'd be so pissed off they would come down and just kill everyone, but they don't. It's almost like it's more intimidation. It is, yeah, like especially that tree shaking, man. Like, that was a big tree, dude.
Starting point is 00:46:32 It was trying to show us, like, look how strong I am, you know? And most of the vocalizations you were hearing, Garrett, it was like grunts and growls, that sort of thing. There was. So when it was pacing that bank line, it was like this low grumbling noise. I wouldn't call it a grunt, almost like a growl. Like I can't even try to mimic it. But it was like this grumbling noise. It was so weird. Yeah, that intimidation display that they do, you know, my ego is not big enough. I'd be happy to leave when that stuff is going on. The very last incident that happened to you, what's fascinating is all this stuff. that is happening around kind of where you started, you know, in life, you know, where you had that first thing that happened to you when you were six or seven. This last incident, if you would, kind of walk me into it. So this is, there's all of the last ones kind of interlock with each other
Starting point is 00:47:34 and the one big one, which is where I currently live now at my house. I moved here to this house. So we found out we were having a baby. We lived out 45. five minutes from where we live now, but my mom lives about 10 minutes from the current house that we live in. So we decided to move here back in March. Nothing weird was happening. It's a new neighborhood. You know, it's a neighborhood again. I know these things shouldn't be seen in neighborhoods, but I think they probably are, and people just don't mention it that much. But we're here. It's a new neighborhood. It used to be all woods again. But our house backs up to this farmland. There's a house farmland and then way up the road there's the farmer's house, his barn, and he has like
Starting point is 00:48:16 all these game birds, ducks, geese, turkeys, chickens, even as emus, like you name it. And, you know, nothing weird happens for almost all of the summer. And I think we get to probably October, I would say, yeah, October. We had our baby in September and nothing weird was happening at that point. And we're here in October and I'm at the gym one day. and my girlfriend's taking our dog out. We have two dogs, but this one's a German shepherd. His name's Bear.
Starting point is 00:48:48 And she's out there on the back porch with Bear, and it's getting dark. It's about sunset. And she tells me, she said, I feel like someone was looking at me the whole time I was out there. Like, she just felt like something was staring at her. And she said, Bear wouldn't go to the bathroom. He just stared at the woodline. And these dogs, German Shepherds, are obviously hyper-alert dogs. They're guard dogs.
Starting point is 00:49:12 whatever you want to say about him. He's not an aggressive one, but he is hyper alert to like everything. And whatever this was, it had his attention. So she got creeped out, took him inside, went take him back out. I took him out that night. I mean him were out there and he's doing his business walking around. And I see him freeze. He turns and looks at the wood line. And so we've had coyotes come in our yard before. And he didn't have the hair stand up. He didn't freeze. He barked him off like it was nothing. He saw whatever he saw. and he froze and his hair stood up higher than I've ever seen it. And he started doing that like, I'm going to kill you bark.
Starting point is 00:49:50 It was the most vicious bark I've ever heard him do. And he was freaked out. He was barking and like slobbering from it. And I had to drag him in the house. He wouldn't stop. And so every night for probably two weeks I would take him out there. He would snap in the direction and start barking like that again. and then eventually my grandparents were down visiting because they wanted to see the baby.
Starting point is 00:50:15 And the two dogs start running back and forth to either side of the house growling and barking at both doors. And it kind of freaked everybody out, man. Like, why are they doing this? You know, like, the dogs don't do that. They know when there's a person. They know when it's a deer in the yard, that type of thing. Something was causing them to freak out like this. And so this continues. The dogs barking, bear freaking out.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Like, he would be sitting in his cage at night around two in the morning and start hearing him do this deep, low growl. Because his cage backs up to the back wall, which faces outside. And he would just start growling and then barking from his cage, and something was setting him off. And I think after a couple weeks of this, it had to have been. Oh, man, this one, this one's kind of hard for me to talk about. too. But I was at the gym. Girlfriend was home. At this point, she's scared to take the dogs outside because something's out there causing the dogs to freak out. And normally the last time the dogs go out at around 11 o'clock at night.
Starting point is 00:51:28 And I took Bear out. It was about two in the morning when I got home. Me and him were outside. And he snaps up and looks in the direction. but this time I hear those same thundering footsteps I heard all those years ago and man I'm getting like chills in my spine right not talking about this but those footsteps and they're coming towards me again
Starting point is 00:51:55 and I see it finally like it was running forever it sounded like but here it is and there's that house back there has a floodlight in the middle of the yard that's the only way I was able to see this thing and it ran up to the fence line. So to kind of paint a picture, there's the road that runs up to the farmer's house that has two fences on either side of it. And that fence backs up to our yard. So this thing had to step over the other side of the fence to get to our fence line in stride.
Starting point is 00:52:27 It didn't stop. And when it got to our fence line, it kind of like hit, like punch, slammed, whatever you want to call it. The tree back there. and it let out this deep like huff, like a grunt at us. And my dog, man, he froze. I mean, he was legit terrified, no barking or anything. He was frozen in place, all his hair standing up. And oh my God, dude, when that thing was running to me, I thought that was it. I thought it was going to die.
Starting point is 00:52:56 I genuinely did. I've never been that scared of my life, and I'm kind of still scared about it to this day. But the dog's frozen out there, and I'm panicking. And people always ask me, like, why didn't you take a picture of it? It was standing there looking at you. Like, that's not my first thought. My thought was, I want to live. And so I, like, slowly kind of made my way out in the yard.
Starting point is 00:53:22 I didn't want to make any sudden movements. And I grabbed the dog. And I basically had to carry him in the house. He would not move. He was petrified. And we'd get in the house and I shut the door, lock it, close all the blinds, turn the lights off. And I just sit there. And I called my dad again.
Starting point is 00:53:36 and I said, I think it was going to kill me. And he was like, what? I was like, that Bigfoot, it was going to kill me. Because I had been telling him about the weird stuff happening, and I kind of speculated that's what it was, even without proof. It's just, I know dogs freak out like that when these things are around. And 15 minutes go by after I call my dad, and I go in the bedroom, and I wake up my girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:54:03 And she said I was still shaking. I looked like pale as a ghost. And I told her, I said, I thought I was going to die. Like, that's all I could get out. And I was like, it's Bigfoot. He's out there. It ran at me. And so after that, like, sorry, man.
Starting point is 00:54:24 After that, it's like, I don't know. It's kind of just eye opening. Like, I never really had an encounter with him where I was like, this thing wanted to hurt me. It kind of felt like that thing wanted to hurt me. I was more careful of taking the dogs out after that. I would take them out and stay alert and watch and listen for stuff. And the night after the incident, I took them out.
Starting point is 00:54:51 And I could hear it walking around back there because there's an abandoned barn behind our house as well. That's part of that farm property. And I could hear it sound like a person walking off in the woods behind that barn. And it was late at night. I don't think there would be a person out there, especially in Tennessee during deer season. and the dog would bark at stuff. He would look in that direction and bark. And then eventually, I sent you the video.
Starting point is 00:55:17 We had to go pick up my girlfriend's sister from the airport. Her flight got to late. It was really late at night. Took the dogs out. And I hear what sounds like something beating on the side of the farmer's barn. And his animals up there are going berserk. But there's just these loud, heavy thuds up there on the barn. and I'm thinking to myself, it's trying to get in there and get the birds.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Like, that's what it's doing. It's staying out there and getting those birds. That's what it's eating. And after that, my girlfriend had an incident where she took the dogs out. This was in the middle of the day, though. And from inside that barn, you know, wind obviously makes an abandoned barn sound like something's in there. There was no wind. It said it sounded like something was kind of tapping on the inside of there and knocking at it when she took the dog.
Starting point is 00:56:03 She took the first dog out. She heard a couple taps. slash Knox. She thought the wind, took the second dog out, the same thing happened. And so after a while, I kind of picked up that the dog was looking in the same direction. And I would always hear walking back there in that direction. And I think it was staying in that abandoned barn to get out the elements. Yeah, I got the video. And I'll post it underneath this episode if anyone wants to check it out. But it sounds like something large hitting that barn. And looking at it, It actually looks like you're pretty far away from the barn for the noise it's causing.
Starting point is 00:57:01 It was, I mean, it was like two in the morning when I took that video, and I'm probably four or five football fields away from that barn. And, I mean, no one's going to be out there using heavy machinery in the middle of the night like that, man. It just wouldn't make any sense. And in that video, the booms are so, like, deep. Like, it's something big hitting that. and it was doing that for probably about 10 minutes. That's just like the snippet bit I got because we ended up having to leave like right after to go get her.
Starting point is 00:57:31 But that's what I was able to get. And it was weird, man, but that when that thing ran at me, dude, that like, it just kind of confirmed it for me. So it kind of sounds like this thing came from the farmer's property. When he came up to the fence and he slammed his fist against a tree, how far away from you? was it? And if you would, what details do you remember? That kind of still stay with you? So that fence 30 yards at most. We don't have that big of a backyard. So it was right there. I knew what I was looking at. This one was bigger, much bigger than the last one I saw. A lot broader. I would, you know, nine, ten feet tall. But the thing that stood out about this one,
Starting point is 00:58:17 the other one I saw had so much shorter hair. When it had its hand up on that tree where it hit it, It kind of kept it there. And when I was looking at it while I was getting over to the dog to grab him, it kind of, if you can picture an orangutan, it had hair hanging off its arm like an orangutan. And I know it's an estimation, but how big do you think he actually was? I mean, from the running and all of that, I would say every bit of nine and a half, ten feet tall and like seven, eight hundred pounds. I mean, this thing, it looked like, I don't know if you've seen those big body, builders, like the really big ones.
Starting point is 00:58:55 It looked like a super jacked bodybuilder if you put him in Shaq's body and made him like double the size. The other night, I was up pretty late with my buddy on the video game we were playing, had my headset on, but obviously those woods are pretty close, so you can hear stuff out there if it's loud enough. And I hear my dog start growling. It's like his mean growl. Again, he doesn't do that very often.
Starting point is 00:59:18 And I hear out the window, it sounds like whooping. Like whoo, whoo. like just off there in the woods and it's loud if I can hear it from in the house from way out there and I didn't go out there I just kind of ignored it trying to brush it off and that's the last thing that happened but the dog he does the dog does seem more weary when he's outside now like he's is looking over his shoulder a lot more and I think it did scare him but I think he's kind of moved past it now yeah it is weird how dogs can kind of pick up on when these things are around way before we do, even when there isn't any noise and they're not seen.
Starting point is 00:59:56 It's like dogs zero in exactly where they're at. And from your email, if my memory is right, this home that you and your fiance moved into is very close to your childhood home where all that other stuff was going on. It is. So like I said, we live about 10 minutes from my mom now. I lived with my mom when we had the first sighting. So it's really about 10 minutes driving distance away. Makes me wonder if they're not really passing through.
Starting point is 01:00:26 They just kind of live in that area. Have you ever thought about going and talking to the farmer and just saying, hey, man, have you seen anything weird on this property? So I have a small story about him as well. Middle and I one night, I've heard that banging before. That's not the first time I heard it. That's the first time I got it on video. I heard him up there yelling at something, like screaming and,
Starting point is 01:00:50 yelling and what sounded like a gunshot. I don't know if he was shooting at the thing or up in the air, but I think he knows it's out there. And so I've actually thought about going back there and asking him. I haven't done it yet. But many times I've been thinking about just driving up there one day and being like, hey, do you, have you seen this thing on your property? Yeah, I'm very curious on what he might say to you. You know, because even in that last encounter, it's coming from his property. You'll have to keep me up today. I would love to know what he says to you. You know, I ask everyone on the show, what do you think Sasquatch is? And what's your take care? So I know a lot of people, like, I've watched your podcast for two years now probably. And a lot of
Starting point is 01:01:35 people think they're supernatural. And I think there's some aspect to it. Like, I really do. I don't necessarily know that they're like this powerful interdimensional being or something like that. Like, you know, I know people have that theory, and I don't judge it. I think that's a great theory. But for the longest time, I thought they were a descendant of us that somehow went a different way on the evolution tree. But I also somehow think they're deeply connected to Native Americans. And like that sort of when to go skin walker type of magic stuff that goes on with them. Because I know in a lot of Native American lore, they talk about Bigfoot a lot.
Starting point is 01:02:14 and Bigfoot's build teepees out of sticks like Native Americans lived in. So I feel like it has something to do with them. I just, I don't know what it is because I know they respected it and so all it is say the hairy man. But I feel like there's more to it than we really know. But if I had to guess, my main thing would probably be it is a living, breathing creature. I don't really have another explanation from it. From my personal experiences, it looks like a living, breathing creature. If I saw the lights, I'm sure I'd have a whole different way to talk about it.
Starting point is 01:02:52 The only one that freaked me out super bad was when it felt like one breathed on the back of my neck, and it was nowhere to be found. Yeah, I agree with you. I think that they are flush and blood, but there's a lot of weird stuff that goes on. And I really appreciate taking the time to share what happened to you and kind of, these experiences in one area. Like I said, it doesn't sound like they're passing through. I would love to know what that farmer has to say.
Starting point is 01:03:22 I really appreciate you helping me out with the drone intro. I know you weren't really prepared for that, but I appreciate your help on that. And keep me up to date, man, with what's going on on this property. I would love an update. Oh, yeah, man, of course. If anything else happens, I'll shoot you a text or send you another email. I'll even let you know if I go up there and talk to that farmer and what he says about it.
Starting point is 01:03:47 Yeah, please do, man. I would love to know what he has to say. And I really appreciate you taking the time to come on and share these encounters. I know it's not the easiest thing in the world, man, but I really enjoyed chatting with you. And thank you so much for coming on. Oh, yeah, of course, man. You know, the biggest thing about coming on here was I really don't want people to think I'm crazy. because I know what I saw.
Starting point is 01:04:12 Like, people tell me I'm crazy because I've seen this thing so many times and had so many interactions. It's like my girlfriend's stepdad told me that you're probably the only person in the world that's seen Bigfoot three times. You know, like he tells me that, but I feel like I'm not. I feel like these things know when you've seen another one of them and they're more okay with showing themselves around you. and as I want other people to also be okay with sharing their stories you know I don't want people to think they're crazy like these things are out there you're not crazy yeah I it's not in common to have multiple sightings in a situation like this where it's a property you had run-ins when you're younger and now that you're older even the home that you bought is basically right next to the
Starting point is 01:05:02 property so I mean you know I would agree with your father-in-law if it was like every time I go out hiking. I run into this thing. I'd be like, I don't know about that. But again, it's not uncommon. When people have these things on their property, they'll have multiple sightings and you know, keep your head up, brother. Yeah, thank you, man. I appreciate
Starting point is 01:05:22 you to let me come on here. Thanks again, Garrett. And that's it for tonight, everyone. Remember, if you've had an encounter, shoot me an email. My email address is Wes at Sasquatch Chronicles.com. And if you get a chance to check out Sasquatch Chronicles.com, you can become a member and get additional shows. Until next time,
Starting point is 01:05:43 everyone.
