Sasquatch Chronicles - SC EP:27 It's a TRAP!

Episode Date: April 14, 2014

A listener contacted the show and wrote "On a hunting trip when I was 14 was the first time I'd encountered these creatures, and they "hunted" me and tried to ambush me, most terrifying experience of my life, and was something I didn't tell anyone about for years." Growing up in Mississippi he had two other encounters including having Sasquatch lurk around his aunts farm at night. We will also be speaking with Lupe Mendoza. He will be sharing his encounter from Washington State.

When I had come down this hill, I had seen this creature cross the road. It would have ripped my locked door from my truck, extracted me from my vehicle, and there wouldn't have been a damn thing I could have done about it. Look, this thing I got to notice in his eyes. His eyes was real, real evil, real sinister looking. You know, the look it was giving me. What are you reporting? What on now, sir?

That's the sort of a bitch is about six foot. Yes, I'm looking right here. Welcome to Bigfoot Hot Spot Radio, Sasquatch Chronicles. I'm your host, Wes, along with my brother Woody, and researcher, author, and friend, William Jeffey. Let's start the show. This episode is brought to you by audible.com. Go to audible trials.com forward slash bigfoot hotspot for your first free downloadable book and a 30-day trial. Our first guest tonight is a...

Hey, Lou, it's Wes and Will. How are you? Oh, great. How are you doing, Wes? we have pretty good Jim pretty good nice to talk you Hey buddy how are you doing well I'm doing great Amigo

so go ahead I guess and tell us Fort Lewis in that time right yeah so prior to that day or that trip you know I was a kid

I grew up watching sci-fi I think it was sci-fi theater science fiction theater I've seen the legend of Bagga Creek and a lot of

old monster movies so I've seen like the old monster movie I've seen the Legend of Boggy Creek I said I remember watching

in search of with their Nimoy. That's basically about it, you know. So pretty much what a lot of people had seen and were aware of. Yeah, those were big things back in the 70s, you know, big movies, you know. Right, right.

So leading up to the, that you called your son, tell us about that. Well, what happened was about, I guess it was about six months to a year earlier before I went on that trip. He had a colony one morning. I don't remember the area that he lived at.

I remember, you know, I'm telling William, and William knew the area, but I don't, you know, and anyway, they called me, it was funny, but I just got to work, and they called me, my him, my daughter-in-law, and go, Dad, Dad, we heard Bigfoot, I said, what, you know? Well, apparently all the night long,

she kept hearing something screaming outside the house, you know, in the woods, and my son, I just got, he was in an accident at work in the military, and so he was on medication to hear and hear nothing. She couldn't wake him up or nothing like that, you know. And finally, when he did get up,

got up to go to work that morning, he went up to the car and the screaming started again. And at that time, he ran back in the house. He grabbed his 45 and I knocked the door. The dog, they have a son of Lassen Husky. She was

stared in the corner hiding there, you know. So he didn't go to work that day. He called and said he wasn't going to work. For the listeners, I just going to mention that was clearly outside of you. Yes. So, I thought, I probably heard of elk or something like that screaming, you know, and, oh, Dad, it was big for the Philadelphia, whatever, you know.

So I completely forgot about that. Then August of the first, 2011, my daughter was living in a little Rock Arkansas, and she was coming back early that morning with a friend from Tennessee, and they got in a terrible accident. You know, my daughter went for the back seat through the windshield. you know, she suffered the most of the injury, the brain injury. And so we did I spend her that month going back and forth to Little Rock, Arkansas, it was about a 10-hour drive from my house.

So finally, I got her transfer from Little Rock to Houston. One day I just kind of broke down, you know, and I said, I need to get out of here, you know. I just, it was a lot of fresh, you know. So I'll call my son and, you know, I say, I'm going over there, you know, and I'll call them up, you know. And this was like on a Thursday, I think that, that Friday was a 28th, I think I called him on a 27, and I got me a paint ticket for that Friday, and I flew down there, I said, let's go find yourself, but you know, not the only

that I'm not to go hiking, I love to the outdoors, I love filming animals, you know. So I flew down there and, you know, I got there that evening about three or four o'clock in the evening and moving out to one of the restaurant, you know, had a, it was had a microbrewery, you know, that's a real good beer down there. And so the next morning we decided to go hiking, you know, that's what we're going to set it up. You know, I had to be here the whole day that Saturday and that Sunday I had to come back to Houston so I'd go back to work. Sure trip. And so, yeah, you know, I just needed a break, you know.

And so we went out to the mountaineer and we got to the resort paradise. We're hiking. You know, we started hiking. We probably got maybe, I think we went to the back, backwards of the trail in between the resort. I think they had like a big motel or a hotel or some little big cabin or something with people to step out, you know. And there's a trail between them and blowing up that trail. And I think maybe 100, 200 meters into that trail is they had a bridge. I remember there was a bridge, a wooden bridge.

And the way we were coming in, there was a big waterfall to the right. I mean, it was a huge waterfall. I couldn't even see the bottom. We walked to maybe another 100 meters after that. The snow started falling real hard. up there going up there was no snow until we got to the top of that paradise and then the snow started

falling real hard and we're walking and we see some bear tracks and stuff you know taking pictures and stuff you know and some elk and then I'm walking and I see a track but it's weird lucky you know so I'll take a photo of it you know in another one and we're sitting there and the snow

is falling kind of hard and the wood line was maybe maybe 75 meter 50 to 70 to 70 meters from us. We could smell something real bad. You know, like my son described it as a wet dog. It could have been a bear or anything. You know, like I said, it was my first time there is, you know.

Sure. Me, not that way. And we started coming back down, you know, because we couldn't see the edge of the woodlight, you know, because the snow was coming down too hard. And it was real dark inside the woodline. So I tell my son, you know, let's go back down and now, you know, because I was at that time I was collecting, I don't know what you. you call from all the state parks and national parks they got little illness you can put

on your walking stick you know you can make you hike at that part you know so that's what I did that for a long time you know so I said let's go to the to the gift shop because I wanted to get these you know and some stuff you know before we left you know and after that we go down down a mound where you know it's warmer and a little snow and we go hiking down there he goes all right dad you know we went back down the trail and we got to the gift shop and we were all right through the entries there was a some art rangers they were talking you know I didn't hear him you know but my son said hey dad they're talking about big food I said really and so I said well let's go to get our stuff then we'll come back

and we stopped them and you know he was like okay so we went up there you know got our stuff you know we came back and you know I looked out of say excuse me down can I show you out some photo it is yeah so I started showing the bear tracks you know the photos of the bear track and says oh that's a nice bear that's a nice bear you know and when I showed him the photo that big friends, they kind of looked at each other and they walked out. They didn't want to talk to us anymore. Wow.

You know? And total night and day behavior change. Yeah. Yeah, big time, you know, and so I just looked at my son, you know, I said, oh, well, I didn't think none of it, but I just said, oh, well, let's get out of here, you know, let's go back down the trail and it's all right. So, we went further down. I guess it's between, I want to say about halfway between the park entrance and paradise, the resort, whatever it is, you know. Right.

We found a trail. It's going back down the mound. The parking was on our right side. On the left side, it was just a huge drop off. So, you know, nobody can park there. So it probably fit like three or four cars, you know, and it was empty. There was nobody there. And so we pulled us to the start this one, we pulled in there.

And we grabbed that gear, you know, backpacks and stuff, you know. For this trip, I wanted to buy a camera, but I never did, you know. And I had this new cell phone. Like, it was a droid behonics that I, I probably had like three days, two days for this trip, you know. That's all that had on me, you know. As soon as we walked into this trail, maybe five feet in front of us, it was this huge root ball. I mean, it's about 10, 12 foot tall. And the tree, I couldn't tell you what kind of tree was because you're not enough in that area, you know.

But it's a huge tree, and the trail went to the left, and this was like a little trail around that root ball of that tree. I said, well, let's try this one, you know. So we went around that, we went on that root ball, and as soon as we got around the root ball, there was a clearing maybe 10 meters by 30 meters around there, you know, maybe 20 meters. And we got to that clearing, and I looked around, and I stopped with my right.

There was another trail, and we probably walked up there by, I don't know, 25, 50 meters around there, and I realized it was just an old animal trail. It wasn't actually a high-control. Yeah, just a game trail. Yeah. And so I told my son, let's turn around.

Let's go back to that actual trial that we saw. It was a high-control when we first came in. As we was walking down and we got to that clearing, at that time that big ruby-bots were left, and the car is maybe 20, 30 meters from us. I don't know what made you stop. I looked to my right. And it was a huge limb in front of me.

And the ground went straight and then it went straight up to a hill. So I squatted down and I looked up that hill and that's when I saw just something stopping to turn around. I immediately say, hey, come here, you know, and my son, you know, I said, like, what's up, Dad, you know? I said, come here, you know, and my son walked over there and he looked at the niggil, you know, he was like, holy fuck, dad, you know, they're real, you know. And we're looking at, you know, what I saw I turn around to stop next to that tree, it

was just a full body, you know, probably like maybe 100 meters from. us, you know, you can see the whole body just sitting there, you know, just standing there, you know, all the way down, maybe, I guess, between his knees and the ground, and we couldn't see because of the grass. The arms by its side, the head and everything, I mean, it was just like, it was a dark solid black object. But you can see the, you know, the sunlight, when the trees were moving, the wind was bolted, you can see the sunlight shining off its head and the shoulders, you know, real clearly, you know.

So I get out of my camera, my phone, you know, And I'm trying to take these pictures and the zoom on the camera is going in and out, in and out. And I'm like, I'm getting frustrated. I'm getting mad. I clicked and I said, oh, man, I got a pair of monocular in my back. And I dropped my backpack and my son pulled it out and gave it to me. And so I pulled it out.

I started focusing. I saw the forehead. I could see the wrinkles across the, it had like three or four lines. The wrinkles going horizontally across the forehead. What I saw. And the skin looked like I feel like I feel. people like real soft black leather that's what it reminds me you know like a soap you've ever seen a soul that's got real soft black leather you know right that's what it

looked like to me and when I saw that I kind of panicked and I go my son you tell me what you see and he started looking at it and by that time you know I saw it kind of lean over a little bit away from the tree you can see the sunlight coming between its body and a tree and my dad my son goes dad and booed and booed and I go yeah I saw that you know we I don't know how long we were there. And that's like I tell a lot of people, I don't know. It could have been five minutes. It could have been 30 minutes.

You know, we lost track of time. And I find some, you know what, let's get out of here. Because, you know, I had that sense. Nothing wasn't right. You know, right now I think it, you know, it wasn't trying to harm us, you know. It may be curious. But at that time, my military sense and his was like, hey, are they sitting up for an ambush, you know? He had his 45 on him, you know, and I had something on me, you know.

And we're like, man, you know, I didn't feel good. I didn't feel right about it. Now, you can find sets of two-track. two different sets of tracks, right? Yeah, that was up on Paradise. Yeah. So there was more than one around. Yes.

I thought, let's get out of here, you know. And that's enough is enough. That's what I told them, you know. I don't know if I was frightened or nervous or just, I can't describe that feeling, you know. We walked back to the car and we started throwing my gear in the car and I looked at my son, man, you know, I was like, I don't think, you know, we saw what we saw, you know. Let's go back in there. So we went back in, like, it says maybe 20, 30 meters from the car or something around there, you know. We walked back in that wood line around that tree, and you could have cleared and looked up there, and it was gone.

You know, I think it's common. You know, people see something, and then they question themselves afterwards. You know, did I really see that? It's a weird feeling, William. You know, I don't know how to describe it. I mean, you know, you had this encounter, you know. Right. And it's all different for everybody, you know, I guess, you know, just every situation is different.

You don't know. It's like, I see. people have, you know, they talk about an encounter and everybody questions them, you know, why did you do this? Why did you do that? You know, you know. You can't say that unless you're in their shoes, you know, I mean. Yeah, exactly.

You know, you don't know what's going to happen. Same way, you know, you know, like I tell people, you know, you know, you're trying and train, you know, all you can for, you know, a situation, you know, in combat and stuff. But when it comes down to it, it doesn't happen that way. You know, you just got to react and, you know, that's something like to say about you that, you know. Yeah, that's an interesting account,

Lufair, I appreciate you sharing it with us. I definitely know what you mean. You question yourself all the time after you. I mean, I still question myself. God, do we just, did I really see what I thought I thought? You know, I think a lot of people go through that, like Will says. You know, I still do that today, you know. When I start doing that, I say, well, my son was there.

How did he see the same thing? You know, I could have been imagining. You know, my son doesn't talk about it. You know, since he's been out of military and said, you know, he got out of the stable. but he will not talk about it you know and you know a lot of people won't talk about it you know they're probably we estimated your people that won't yeah you know it needs to you know area that we research a lot you know and i do with my friends the garrets it's

millions and millions of acres you know that a lot of it have never been uh you know it's still virgin forest you know and a lot of folks in that part of the country people elsewhere if you know we go out there if you nice enough and some of the people will talk to you And, you know, like I said, we had some crazy stuff happen to us out there. We've been, you know, at night raided by the four strangers, and then you were out there. You know, they want to know where our guns were at. You know, we've got a six-foot-tall parabolic mic standing there, and they don't say nothing about that, you know. But they know what you're doing.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. You know, we've had helicopters come out over us, over and over us, you know, following us on the kayaks and the canoes. They know. Sure they do. You know, you talk about the government cover up. You know, I was kind of worried about the, you know, no way, but I believe it now, you know. I really do.

Well, Wes, I appreciate you.

I invited me, you know, William was with my friends for a long time. And that's a matter of fact, it was two days after I had my son. He called me, and we've been friends since then. Yeah. No, Louie's a great guy and one of the best. I'm glad I could help you guys out. I can do this story. because I'm really not talking on radio no more.

You know, I did this for Wail and, you know, so thank you. No, thank you. Well, we should appreciate it. Okay, yeah, I have a good night and take care of and God bless you guys. All right, buddy. Thank you, Luke. Next on the show, we have Quentin, and when he had sent us this encounter, it sounded a lot like the siege of Fonabi, a lot of what went on there.

I thought the listeners would really enjoy this. Hey, Quentin, it's Wes and Will. How are you, ma'am? Good. Thanks for being on the show. Thank you so much for having. Well, growing up, my and my great-grandmother was also from there, and they passed away when I was 14. But they lived up, and us being, and it was land that, you know,

and those people I wasn't. I started going to the deer camp when I was 13, and I grew up in a small town, and it just really wasn't that much to do, and just watched deer. And I'd be going out to this place. I just could not bang like a big deer, or I just could back on the back of the park. And I'd actually been out to this place before with them,

And we would go out and plant ryegrass and stuff. During the morning, I was really excited to get to this spot because I just knew I was going to see something, you know. And about 15 minutes after I got out to this place, I started hearing, like, what I thought was somebody hammering or doing some construction work. You know, like, you hear about, like, wood knocks and stuff like that, and people always talk about how it sounds like some kind of Morse code

because you'll hear two or three little taps at a time. You know what I mean? And, like, 15 minutes after I got out there, it just sounded like three. It wasn't just like a little feeble, little knock. Okay, so that kind of like set me off to begin with because I knew that there was no people out at this place, and I believe the closest near 20 miles away. So I kept hearing this wood knock, and it would only stop for a few minutes.

And to kind of get like, my uncle and us, we would go out there with a bulldozer into these lands to kind of bulldozed trails. And so to my right, there was just miles of open field. in front of me would have been like a little ravine and there was a lot of trees and foliage and stuff like that behind me there was just thick, thick green foliage where the big open field was you couldn't just weird stuff going on and I started getting just weird because

my family didn't want me going out in the woods without having some kind of hunting experience but a four-legged animal sounds like when it was and sure enough after these wood knocks stopped after about 20 or 30 minutes I thought I heard like something walking on two legs. Okay, and I said, okay, that's weird. There's something walking around out here. And I've had experience with like turkeys and stuff like that

where they'll walk through leaves, and sometimes they sound like a lot heavier. Well, long story short, I mean, like I just cut, like I hate to say it, but some kind of crazy hillbilly people or some kind of whacked out country. And, well, like I started hearing movement behind me and that sort of thing. And again, it's like I was here,

body step, this kind of game just kind of deep and if something had been over on other side of it, I wouldn't have been able to see it. I would just basically just helping notice I could see something just kind of peeked. Like when something's like that happened, you're... Right. So eventually I start this time that I'm seeing this, starting to think, okay, and I believe that humans have this, see the danger, something, you might be in a situation talking about like taller than a human being. Yeah, you know, you're good. I saw an angry looking eyeball just kind of peeping at me. I can see like what I thought was a cheek in a head and it was just black covered fur.

and this thing exactly what the caliber rifle it was, but it was one of the biggest ones that they had down there. They didn't want to stick me out. Someone was telling me, okay, I'm hearing all this movement and stuff like this, and this thing stepping out in front of me, and I said this thing behind me steadily getting closer, I said, someone's trying to ambush me here. I finally said, okay, if this thing behind me gets closer,

I'm going to shoot it. And so, like, as this thing is just kind of inching out, I just felt like it was distracting me, and then I heard like the brush kind of moving really quickly behind me, and I was in a tree, and so my back is to the movement behind me, and I was in a position where I felt like, okay, it's like, you've ever been in one of those situations? And there's two guys that have a product to you while the other guy comes up

and hits you from the back and knocks you unconscious. And that's kind of what I felt like was going on. And so, like, as soon as that thing kind of inched out, I just had never seen anything like that in my life. I freaked out, seeing a shot into, like, the foal is behind me. And when I shoot the shot off, I hear four creatures, off on two legs and there had been one around I never knew was there and the one that was in front of me I just saw him kind of like take off and I just I never

really got a good look at him other than he was black and I just knew that these things were these creatures that people had been talking about after these things ran off I heard them making these calls like a crow call sounded like a person doing it it did not sound like a bird and I said oh my God there's more of them and they're telling people that or they're five minutes to show minutes of my life because I just felt like the whole time I was there even though I heard these things and when he finally showed up I said you know I'm like terrified people out here and I said they were trying to get me and he's like there ain't nobody out here oh you didn't see this oh you didn't see that and you weren't going to there on that day when they wanted to go out like bunk beds and just a small kind of a truck trailer didn't tell them but I sat there I did not talk about I know in the south they call them catamounts were people listening I know like up here I've never heard of catamounts or they call them uh I know kumbo said uh call them what

no heads or... Bougars. Yeah, boogers. They have all kinds of terms form down there. God, can you imagine that, Will? Sitting up there and... It sounds a lot like you in Woody's account. That's exactly what I was thinking.

As Quentin was telling us on that, it sounds just like our account, like the one up front's trying to keep your attention, and they're closing in on you. While the other ones are sneaking around. Yeah, the ones are hanging around. Yeah, there was one that was, like, clearly, you know, like, you guys sound like you kind of know the woods a little bit.

Like, have you ever heard like a dead, when it's louder than a and they'll jump in the trees and they'll do things and then there was one behind me and then people say I never pointed, I never aimed at it just something told me that was going to be my only chance I mean they're not going to walk straight

Yeah You had mentioned they were coming up to the windows and screaming Okay, this is more or less like my third encounter Okay, well go ahead with your second encounter I didn't mean to cut you off Okay, well with my second encounter Again, what it is

I would be more than happy to kind of show you. And if you walk into these places and you're quiet and you don't go looking for them and you're not there disturbing stuff, they'll sit there and watch you. And they're not going to come. And I know for a fact, when I was about, I was 18 my last year of high school because my birthday is actually in January. So my last, my senior year, I'd act, which was a 1990. Yeah, they had flip-top light and they sit really low. They're like a two-door sports car. Oh, I was so happy that I'd gotten this car. My mom, she kind of, so I got in. So I got in car and I probably had it for about a year. My mom was really cool about like, okay, if you want to go out and you're like, as long as you're home before midnight or whatever and you're a lot, that's close to around the lake. And people come up to this kind of place all the time. You know what I mean? It's a place where you constantly find like park rangers or people cooking out. And there's been, I had a friend that lived down this road. And we used to walk to their house and stuff. And then like we would walk from one friend's house from one point to the next late at night. So it wasn't like a situation.

where I was like, okay, you know, and then after I saw those things the first time, I just thought there would be no way that I'd ever see him again. And this is the story that I actually, and they almost, basically, I reported this story after we had the ones coming along. I just wanted to see how they would take, because I've always noticed that most of these stories you read, or I think I heard something, or I think I saw something. It's not an easy thing. I do, like, public...

I would not want to be sitting to you about Bigfoot, and you have, like, 20 people there, and they're trying to buy your products, you know? It's not so much that the ridicule. So, long story short, what it was is I would go out and bought a pack of cigarettes when I first got in my car. My mom didn't want me smoking, so I said, okay, I'm going to go drive up to the lake and smoke two or three cigarettes and go. So I'd go down this road, and it starts off, it's like a gravel road, and it's almost about, it's barely big enough for like two cars, and there's people that live all up and down this road. And I wouldn't say it's just going downhill.

hill up. So long story short, I was going down the road, and like I said, I'd been down this road before. I had a car, and it was like one of the last model cars that had a set player in it. And so I was sitting there, and I was pressing fast forward or something like that. And I was five or ten miles an hour, and it rolls into, you know, so you kind of really, if you go to the back roads in Mississippi, you kind of really had to watch where you're going. You can't just go out here being the Dukes of Hazard, like they make it out on TV. All right, so, like, I'm going down this hill, and as I get to about where the bottom of the hill is, there's two fields down there, and I think one of them might be a bean filled, and one is a cotton field.

Well, to the left side of the rest of it wasn't an eye glow. I thought I saw, like, what was a yellow eye glow, and on the side of the road, and it looked like it was behind a tree. And it's silly to sound, I thought maybe it was a hoodow, because they have really large orb kind of eyes. Okay, so I slowed down. And like, okay, I said, okay, a deer's going to run out and hit my damn new car, you know? And I said, I just got this thing a week ago. And I said, some animal is going about to run out and total, like where I live, you know.

Like I knew a guy with a Corvette, right? And the, had the sunroof on it. And he was going down the road, hit the deer. The deer didn't completely die. And then it went into the sun. Oh, Jesus. Yeah, it was like Tommy Boy. Yeah.

Tommy Boy. And it was his poor car, you know, it didn't live. So, anyway, as I see these eye blow, I said, okay, I'm stopping right here in this road. Huge behind this tree, because the tree really was not sick. It was about six feet tall talking about. This thing is like five or seven feet away from me, and all I know is this thing. A Sasquot, I don't like to refer to this thing because I knew what the hell it was. This Sasquatch comes out of the road.

It's black in color. And, like, when it first came out, the BFR, tried to say that they don't do this. But this squash, when it first came out, was actually about to walk on his hand. Like, in other words, he looked like he was about to, and then, like, when this thing took one step, and it was kind of slumped out, like,

I'm going to, like, run on my hand. And then when it took one step, it was, like, in the center of this small gravel road. It's, like, it changed cords. And my car was not very big. And, I mean, I could immediately tell that this thing was not the two legs and just a hand. You know, like, this time was out in front of me.

And it was homecoming here. It's fairly close to Halloween. And so that night that I went out, it wasn't cold, but it was just, you know, enough moisture outside. It was cool enough that you could see things breathing. Well, how do you know it wasn't a man in a costume? But let's be realistic here. How many that had the luxury are going out and buying some expensive monkey suit? Right.

You know what I mean? The creature steps out in the middle road, and at the time it was more of a hunched and a bending down. had no neck. You know what I mean? Like, you can tell that it was, well, the creature's demeanor when it first. How many people get to see something like this in there? The problem was, uh, the squatch. It was black, and I know that he had to be eight feet tall because I'm six four. No problem diagnosed in like, you know what I mean? Because you're never going to get a close to the hill. And I have flipped on lights on my car. And so my headlights were actually kind of shining, kind of like pointing down towards like the ground, but they were kind of going.

The body was like more or less so little wedded because the lights weren't hit there and watch this creature for long enough. That I got a really good description of it. Like on one side of it, like the side that was facing me, it looked like he had maybe slid down like an embankment maybe, and it could see the face other than just went to a stop. And the ones we had really wide jawed, their teeth, and I mean, their muscle for day, I mean, be able to see under the body, you know, because you have like, actions when a human being is moving. It's only about, and I was only about a few yards away from where the road actually turned into going down like an area where a lot of people live out in the country.

And you're talking about, like, every mile to mile and a half you have a house next door. Like, the whole time that this stuff was going on, because he would kind of sway a little bit, like, okay, I see you. But right before, probably getting creeped out. And again, I'm not saying it was a violent movement, but, like, okay, what's this guy doing? He's acting a hell of a lot different than he was a minute ago. So, like, he was actually. So I think, honestly, yeah, I think that he might have been looking at one behind me

because I never looked at my rear. I've not adjusted my light shit because that bright lights. He got pissed off. It just took like this really, I could not put my car hardly in reverse. I couldn't put my hand on the wheel hard. I got my car in reverse. And whenever I kind of backed up a little bit, the creature got just barely far enough out of the road that I was able to just drive around it. And I said, oh, my God.

And, well, later on, it turned out that somebody else down that road had, there was a lady that worked with my aunt at the time at a fast food place, and she lived down that road. And they sat around the same time that night, they had heard something like that. In short, after this happened, I wouldn't go down a country. I just said, man, these things were all right. And so I came around, it was about a few years later that my aunt bought some property. That's about, say, 10 or 15 miles from where I live in the back. And that's what I find to be so shocking about it is how many people are inhibiting these areas. And my aunt was, and she would do a lot of these shows.

And, like, you know, like, people always associate people that see big. was just being these poor people who don't have any money or any education. But, I mean, well, the weirdest thing is, like, as I had these encounters, you're talking about, like, this was in 1997. My cousin was just cleaning her. So, like, something she called her attention out of her bedroom window. And when she did, she looked, and she said something just started screaming bloody murder at her, you know. And she ended up calling my grandmother out there to come pick her up.

Because what it is, my aunt had one of these jobs where she constantly always, so sometimes, like, we would have to go out there and we take care of her horses and stuff. Okay, so that was like the weirdest thing that had happened there. My mom had gotten divorced from my father, and my aunt moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and so my mom ended up moving into the place. Okay, so that's when what it was is my family never had any intentions. They never bothered to build like my dad. She went out there.

And the first thing that she said told my mom was having experience. But we weren't really having anything. And it's a low gas, and it goes from a real low tone to make your blood curl. I've always tried to be realistic about these things You know what I mean? Let's face it How can you be realistic about something that people don't believe in? And that's really why I think they were doing that But I basically contacted the BFRO because I was to the house

It was one of those situations I reported the story where they felt very disrespected Because after I posted the story They went and chopped it up and edited it To where it almost seems like the account is not believable And that kind of like drew a red flag with me for those guys guys, you know, and then, like, I got in touch with a guy who wanted to come down to the show, finding big foot. I was actually asked to be on that show, and that's why I turned

the show down. There's a lot that goes on in the South. I think then a lot of people are willing to come out and talk about, and, you know, I can't thank you enough for coming on, Quentin, sharing your encounters with us. I mean, I really enjoyed hearing. Yeah, I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much. If I could just give one little message to everybody out there, if you're going to go out looking for these creatures, please be careful. Don't take your children with you until you know what these beings are like.

Don't go out there. You don't know what you're doing and you don't know what you're saying. I believe one day, if we get enough information on these creatures, and I just really hope one day we can get enough. Yeah, that's good advice. No, it was awesome, Mike. We sure appreciate it. Yeah, absolutely.
