Merkel?
Medias.
I guess it's time to go back in time.
Are you telling me you built a time machine?
Kind of a Dolion?
Time is but a stubborn illusion.
I have a lot of memories of the past.
People are time traveling within themselves.
Time travel is possible.
And there was a lady's leg found.
Just the like.
It was the bottom half of the leg.
And they said, oh, it's just not suspicious circumstances.
There's nothing going on yet.
This was all circulating around the base that a giant had to kill,
but no one was supposed to talk about it.
I saw three long, boning fingers, reach up underneath the door,
curl up to grab it, and then disappeared.
When he came over to me, dude, he slithered over to me.
And this giant comes out of the cave,
They're all frozen.
And he starts running and firing at this giant.
With a giant moves, he's got a spear in one hand, and he's running really fast.
And spears Dan holds him up like this.
Somebody else, shoot him in the face, shoot him in the face.
They basically decapitated.
Feel something pulling at my leg.
And I look over and there are two small, and they're literally, I'm getting pulled off the bed.
I reached my hand into this bush.
And I touch air.
Couldn't breathe and it couldn't move because I know I'm seeing a monster.
Okay, I reload it.

We're bringing on Deborah Hatswell from BBR Investigations in the UK.
Debra and I had a great time talking for quite some time on this recording.
We talked about Bigfoot Dogman, E.T., a bunch of stuff that she's been gathering since the 80s that's happening in the UK.
It's an awesome show you're about to hear and to let you know we are doing this on YouTube today as well.

So let's get to Deborah right now.
All right, today we got Deborah Hatswell on the show.
How are you, ma'am?
Very well, thank you, Tom.
Thank you for asking me.
I'm really glad you're here.
You know, and I honestly, I don't remember exactly how I found you.
I was sitting here in the office and I was looking something up.
I almost feel like I was looking something up for my show on Apple Podcasts.
and I came across your show and, and I get ADD.
Like, I just get distracted on things.
And so, yeah, I decided to check out your podcast instead of doing whatever I was doing.
And I thought I'm sitting here listening to the episode.
I was like, I think I want this lady on my show if she's willing.
So I reached out to you and you were willing to come on.
So thank you very much.
No, you're welcome.
I have a tiny channel here in the UK.
But people tend to find where, you know, I'm very lucky like that.
So when you asked me to come on, I was overjoyed because I know that you have a massive following in the UK and Europe.
So I thought there'd be lots of listeners out there that haven't heard of you or me, if you get rid of me.
And it'd be an ace to do a compilation.
But once I told people I was coming on, they were like, oh, I love that guy.
Oh, I love that channel.
I love that podcast.
So, yeah, I think you made a half of Britain half a couple.
That's awesome. That's awesome. You know, it's funny because when you're recording and you put out shows, you never know who's listening and stuff. And when I was early in podcasting, I really looked at my, you know, geographical stats a lot and stuff. And over time, I'm just like, I guess people are listening. I don't know where they're at, though. So it's really cool. So shout out to everybody in the UK that listens to the show and, you know, connects with Deborah as well. Deborah, let's first get into what you do.
as far as your organization that you founded and what you guys are doing.
And then from there, I want to move into like the roots and the foundation of, you know,
what got you going.
But if you could, just give your everything a shout out here, you know, your podcast,
your, you know, investigative community and all that.
I started 1982 building a community where regardless of what you witness or whatever your
experience is that you can reach out to them and you can make a report of it because we'll touch
on it later but I had an experience when I was 15 and I realised there was nobody really out there
to help me with it. So we set up a business called BBR and that started out as British Bigfoot
because back in the day that's all I was looking for was Bigfoot witnesses in the UK and I didn't
expect to find any and I found over 400 in the end.
But as the years rolled on, I realized when I was, and you'll understand this, when you're interviewing somebody and maybe they've seen a cryptid or they've had experience with a reptilian, if you say to them, is anything else strange ever happened to you?
Nine times out of ten that they'll say, well, actually, some you should say that.
They'll have like a, maybe a paranormal report.
Sometimes lots of phenomenon happens to just one ordinary person.
And I realized that we were separating these witnesses off into genres.
So the big foot witnesses didn't mix with the paranormal lot and the paranormal
mixed with the UFO.
And I thought this is, we should get everybody talking because regardless of what you've seen
and what you've experienced, you know what it's like to see something impossible.
And sometimes it's really validating if somebody says,
that's exactly what it was like for me.
or that was similar for me.
I think it's just helped him.
So that's how the podcast started
in the YouTube channel and everything's
on the BBR, Deborah Hapswell,
just to make it as easy
as possible for people to find me.
In America,
you have, and Canada,
you have a massive understanding of
Bigfoot and Sasquatch creatures.
So you hear about it.
In the UK, not so much
up until about
10, something like that.
before it was a large subject.
So you've not got many British people
Googling the word Bigfoot or Sasquatch.
You're probably going to ask Wild Man or an Eighth Man.
That pops up more than anything.
So, yeah, as I say, so I started with that.
And now, I think we have over 4,000 reports now.
And if a new one comes in, like Hins today, we've had two.
So while I'll do, are they in touch with an volunteer investigator
who lives in that area and they will go out and meet the witness and film the area,
get size comparison, get, you know, have a look for prints, do everything that we can
really to kind of find out what the person saw and get as much information as we can follow
them.
You know, I find it interesting too because you are in the UK.
And when I first started doing this stuff back in, well, I started the podcast in 2017,
but I started really dabbling in the communities in about 2015.
And one of the things that I have consistently heard from people in the UK that are into these topics is that Bigfoot is not in the UK.
And it's like it's like this common.
And I had, oh, I forget his name and that Andrew is something, I think.
It was years ago I had talked to this guy and he's in the UK and he investigates these things.
And he does, you know, sea creatures and all that kind of stuff.
but when I had him on, we broadcast the show and I got a noticeably amount of emails from people
in the UK that listen, they're like, there's nothing here. There's absolutely nothing here.
And so when I hear people like you and him talking about this stuff, it just tells me that there's a
shift. And when you said that in 2010, it seemed like there was a lot more interest and stuff.
So it's a very new shift in the perception in the UK from what I see.
Yeah.
And honestly, before I saw what I saw, I would have agreed with them.
I would have said it was absolutely ridiculous.
It was impossible.
And there's no way whatsoever it could have happened.
But that's all I was left with.
Just you've seen out 50s.
I was completely and utterly terrorized.
If I had been in America, I would have been able to sing.
That was a big fool.
that was a Sasquatch.
Somebody seven foot tall, completely hair covered,
that looks like a man and an ape that had been pushed together.
In England, there's nowhere to go with that.
So it wouldn't fit with a UFO, so I couldn't report it there.
It didn't fit in a paranormal sense.
He looked completely flesh and blood,
but I'm not 100% that he was because I didn't touch him, you know?
So the hard issue I had was just being a...
able to say to people, I don't know what he was.
Because we witnessed something, it doesn't make you an expert on it.
So, you know, and your listeners will say the same.
If they've had an experience and they'll say, oh, I had an experience with, you know,
UFO, it's down to them to prove that experience.
And I don't think it should be like that.
I can't prove what happened that day.
But you can't put 38 years of working effort into something.
you know, if it's just a made-up story,
I've been planning these hopes for an awful long time, you know.
And as I say, I would have said the same.
I'd have said there's no way whatsoever that they could be in this country
regardless of whether they're flesh and blood or their dimensional or a sentient being.
And I can't say that now.
I just can't.
I've spoken to too many normal, everyday people,
so postmen, people in.
the army, police officers, dog walkers,
mass majority of dog walkers, unfortunately,
that make these reports.
And many of them will start with,
I don't even believe in this,
but, you know, when I was out today,
this is what happened.
And then you can say,
normally at that point I'll say to them,
try and get a good, really good description
of what it looked like.
a really good description of the area, if I can.
And then you're trying to guess.
So somebody may say, for example,
is an area called Seckford in, it's a huge forest,
has a road running through the middle of it.
And most of the witnesses there said,
bear, man, a bear that was up on two legs,
a baboon that was up on two legs,
or just a monster or a creature.
So nobody's mentioned the word, big foot.
but what they're all seeing fits the same description as Patty.
So these large shoulders, little neck, a very neanderthal-like face, no hair on the face,
but very dark leathery skin.
But today's, the account that came in today, his description, I wrote it down, was
long shaggy grey hair and a white face.
So the descriptions come in in all shapes and sizes and colours,
just as we do in the US and in Canada.
and Russia across Europe, because obviously we've had witnesses from Europe that have come forward as well.
Yeah, you know, it's funny because people will say that there's no, there's no Bigfoot in the UK, but I saw a baboon.
Come on. That doesn't make sense either. But, you know, what you said earlier here, I absolutely agree with you.
And I say it on the show several times that my show is chronicling people's story.
that they've been through everyday people.
And it's not my job as the podcast host,
and it's not the person telling their experience job
to convince the whole world of what they saw.
We just present a platform that allows people to share those stories,
and then it's up to people who hear those stories
to walk away, consider the story,
and decide for themselves what they want to believe
and how this all operates.
because the deeper you get in these topics, and I know you know this, the deeper you get into
the topics, the weirder it gets. And like you mentioned, I mean, how people, you know, they
have similar experiences, but it's not, they're not talking about the same type of creature. And it's
just like something, something's a little off here. And to say that any of us are experts would be silly,
very silly in my mind.
Yes, most definitely. I've got more questions now than I had in the beginning. I'll be honest.
And in the beginning, I just wanted to know what it was.
What was it?
But then you've got to answer the question.
So what are they?
Where are they from?
What do they breed?
We get those questions across the world.
The American researchers and investigators get them.
And they will probably attest with me when I say,
you can take the best footprint that you can find,
the best hair sample that you can find,
and you put it in front of your peers.
Someone will say that you faked it.
You could drag one, kicking and screaming out of the forest
and put it on the 10 o'clock news in the UK,
and some people out there would believe that I hoaxed it.
So I'm not out there to answer their questions.
What I see is the 18 stone man that's built like a Viking
that's too scared to drive to work tomorrow night
because of something that he's seen on the road.
Or the soldier that's too scared to go on exercise is next week,
because what he's seen has happened while he's been on exercise.
He can't go to resurgent and say,
I've just seen a seven-foot hairy monster, you know,
because it just gets, because he'd just get laughed at it.
It probably probably have to go for a medical or something like that.
And I know I laugh at them,
but the amount of people I've spoken to
that have had to go to the doctor in the UK
because they've experienced something they can't explain,
is ridiculous.
And it makes you feel like,
There's something wrong up here.
And then people say to me, we'll prove it to me.
And they're in the UK.
How do I do that?
But if you find in footprints in America and we're finding them here, that's correlation.
If you're finding shelters, as we call them,
and we're finding them here, that's another correlation.
If the witnesses are called describing them,
they all look different, but there is a theme that runs along, isn't it?
Really tall, really big, hairy, isn't it, human?
So if we're matching that to that,
then I used to say people,
well, if he's not here, then he's not in America
because you've got all the same stuff that we've got.
And so are the Russians, you know, and so are the Polish.
And then you start digging and you find just a wealth
that's just been hidden to the Brits.
There's so many years
where there's been no mention in our history of the woodwolf,
as he was called back then.
Just 17th century, just everything stopped.
So nobody talks about it.
Yeah.
Why do you think it stops like that?
I mean, do you think there was an active push to stop the talk about it?
Or do you think that, you know, something changed in the environment in the UK?
I'm not really sure.
I couldn't answer that because there's always been a tall, hairy man of the woods, always.
But his names change with history.
So as we've gone through, very much like in America.
You have the original names that we would call them.
I'm not really sure what that would be.
The Celtic name or an early English name,
I think Silvanus or something like that,
which means grey in hair.
We had, we called them Dries at one point,
the original name for Druids.
And the reason they call them Dries
because he said they were half men and half trees
and could be both at the same time.
Wow.
But he's even, Tony, it's even tiny, minuscule.
things that people
out mention who don't know about
this tree people
that they do
this hunched position
almost guerrilla-like
you speak to witnesses
and you try and embellish
and they will pull you back
so you'll say did it have
like a really white chest
no it did not have a white chest
and you think they're being honest
they'd correct him they want me to get it
as perfect as absolutely possible
and I'm more than happy to do
that for anyone. So I do what you do. I say, do want to come on the show? Do you want to talk privately?
I don't mind, you know. It's only an hour of my son, I really don't mind. And that's how we've ended up here,
all these years later. Wow. Wow. Yeah. And you even mentioned earlier about the white face. That's
something that I had a report of not far from where I live. And the guy that I went out, he took me out
to the location, him and his brother, this was years ago before I was even podcasting. And,
you know, the area that he took me to, I was in back then, I was like, how could a, how could
something like this be hiding in this area? It was very populated and stuff. And then over the
years, I started hearing more stories that, like, I'm about 45 minutes from Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. And I, it's a huge city. And I'm getting, I've gotten people telling me that they've
seen things even closer to the city. I had this one kid. He was about 12 or 13 years old,
like panicking, reaching out to me on Facebook years ago because he had just seen something
that he couldn't describe. And I told him, I said, listen, man, like, I need to talk to your parents
first before I talk to you. But, but yeah, his parents let me talk to him and everything.
And they backed up to, backed up his story as to what he told them. But anyways, let's make a
transition here. And so this is kind of foundation of how things got started for you guys over there.
But you have a personal story that kind of really jumped you into this. And if you could,
just kind of tell us what you experienced. Yeah, no problem. Before it happened, I didn't know
about before or it was 1980s in England. So at the time, we had three television channels.
That was it. That's what we had. So compared to America, it's not the same. So I've never really heard.
or anything like that.
And I didn't know that that's what it was.
It took me till I was in my 30s
to kind of put that together.
I didn't want to go to school.
It was a lovely summer's day.
We'd been in in the morning
and I didn't want to go in the afternoon.
So I skipped school, my friend.
And my old school was,
it looked like something out of Harry Potter.
It's an old Edwardian mansion, really, really old.
And it's in its own set of Parkland, Browns.
And back in a day,
It was like there were streams and fountains and all of that,
but it just went to rack and ruin.
And it was really heavily overgrown.
And there was lots of like Ivy and Rode Den room.
We sneaked into what we call the Ivy Den.
And we were in there having a quick fag.
But we were lay on the floor talking to each other like this.
So there's all this greenery around us.
And I noticed something new.
And I thought it was going to be a teacher.
And we were caught, you know.
So that was the about,
that really wasn't
that really wasn't that shook me much
when I was 15
you know
but as I looked
I kind of made eye concept
with this thing
and that's the only way I can say it
and he lay out at the bush
like this
and just looked at me
and I looked at him
and I started screaming
and I don't know why I did this
it was without thought
I pushed my friends to the floor
so that it'd get her
and not me
and I start off running
and I looked back to see if he was
coming after me
and she was running
in the opposite direction
and he wasn't there
so he must have just
melded back into that bush
but it was
it is impossible
it cannot have happened
but it did
and it just
I can describe his face
the amount of arguments
I've had inside my head
with that face
and just trying to
get rid of it
just trying to come up
with a reason
I wanted somebody to say to me
Or it was just hysterics or it was just a man in a zoo
Or, you know, all of, nobody ever explained it away.
He was about seven feet tall, seven and a half feet tall.
He was huge, there's huge jaw muscles.
Really big muscles here, very pronounced brow.
No hair on his face, just a little bit of bumfut, like a teenage boy he'd have there.
His teeth were human-likely.
He didn't have canines or anything like that.
like they were flat and normal like a human being.
His nose is like a boxer, kind of flat to his face,
but still upturn at the same time.
And he just looked at me.
That's all he did.
He didn't do anything, but that was enough.
I was absolutely terrified.
I don't even remember running home.
I remember coming to on the main road,
and that's probably 15 minutes running.
I have no memory of that.
I just remember coming to you on the road
and realise it,
so I had to cross another bit of Parkland
and it was really, really high.
It was about nine, ten feet high
and I just thought, I'm not going through there.
There, in there, that was the thought.
I'm not going through there, they'll be in there.
So I went the long way home,
running through the door, crying and screaming.
And my mum said,
get upstairs and get your uniform off your dad being in in a minute
and that were it.
And I was like, Mom, mum, I've seen this thing.
I've seen this thing and she was just like,
every just go upstairs and get changed.
So when my dad come in, I told my dad
And my dad's a big man
He works on the docks
He's absolutely huge
He used to tear apples apart
With his hands
As a trick from his kids
That sound
And he looked like he could have just
Flicked my dad
And I was terrified
And I kept saying to my dad
Dad, it was a man
It was a man
And he was like
Even when we talked about
Just before and past
He said
I know that you were scared
And I knew me where you know
When your kids are scared
And you know when your kids are lying.
And I used to go back to school the next day.
And I don't know how I did that.
I don't know how I did it.
I asked everyone.
I asked the local mayor if he knew what it was.
I just asked everybody.
And everybody looked at me like as a complete, an utter idiot.
Or, you know, what's wrong with it kind of thing?
Now, all these years on, there's seven other people that have seen it other than me.
And they're not people I know.
what are people that I found.
Thomas Markham runs an American blog
called the Cryptoperator.
And a lady reached out to him in, I think 2014.
And she said, she came from England.
She lived in Lancashire where I live.
And she remembers a young girl
who saw a monkey man in the park.
And everybody in the...
We don't live in a big town.
It's about 2,000 people.
Like, everybody in the town kind of ridiculed her.
And she said, but I saw what she...
she saw. And she saw him in except for the same place as me. But she saw all of him.
It was two years after. A man was in the summer of 82. Those was in the winter of 84.
And she said, he had no neck. She said he looked like a man in a chimp together. He was clearly
male. You could see male genital. And he was completely hair covered. But you could see his
skin through his hair. And I would agree with that. She described him as really, really
dark in colour
and I would agree with that as well
but I remember where the sun
was shining him it was I remember thinking
about it and it was almost urban
but in the terror
of it all you don't take
any of that in I mean I sat down years after
with an American artist called
Alex Evans and she
helped me put a photo fit together
of him as close as I could
get it like kind of as close
and it was then
and I said to it had a bit of recognition
to it almost
I don't like
Auburn I'd say
the colour Arbin
and there's been
this has a gentleman
who was out on
the mighty bike
for all it's a town
I should explain
that it has a river valley
that runs through it
and that river valley
takes you up to the mountain range
and you can go to Scotland
or to Wales
or to the north-east
and there's numerous
accounts on that line
so I spent
the rest of
the next
30 years trying to track out how he got there, how he could possibly be there,
how I saw him and other people haven't seen him at that point.
And then I just got on the CB radio and I started just asking truckers,
if they'd seen anything on the road.
Or I'd write to a local newspaper in a random town and say,
you haven't seen anything strange when you get out and about?
Desperation.
True, though.
put it anywhere, just anywhere.
And then in 2013, 2014, something like that,
I'm trying to find,
so I said, get online and see if you can find,
like a photo that's close to him.
So I'm looking like the Anderatolls
and I do against this and anything down the hominy in that line.
And I've seen this face, oh,
and it's a sight to the monster,
but a famous case in America.
And they could be brothers.
not exactly the same
but
enough to make me
sure that's all that.
It was awful
it's like I'd gone right back there that day
and it didn't matter
who had interviewed
between now and then
I was back as that 15 year old
I was so frightened
and I didn't realize
how much it affected me
until my children started to say to me
mum you never took us
near the woods when we were kids
and my older daughter
I said you not remember that time
when they heard that man
I heard a really strange growl and you picked me up
and you ran with me and I said no
I don't remember that at all, sweet time
and she said you did
we're on holiday with granddad
and we was at the seaside
so it's not a woodland or anything
and she said I heard a growl in the bushes
and I picked her up
she'd be about three or four
and put her under me hand and ran
I said no I don't remember that at all
so I don't know if I've just blocked them out
you know over time kind of thing
but I'd never took me kids to the woods
and I thought
oh my lord I've got me
Well, we'll stand down to this tiny bubble because of this fear.
What do I do?
And straight up, my husband said to me,
you do you want to see things,
you put it down and walk away forever and don't ever think about it again.
Or find out what it is, Deb.
Just, you know, I'm really good at, like, looking for stuff.
So he said, just do what you do and find out.
So that's what I did.
You know?
Yeah.
Well, you know, one, I think it's really cool that your husband said that.
And so I know there's a lot of people out there that have experience.
and stuff and their spouses don't believe them or they don't want anything to do with it.
It sounds like you have a supportive husband.
You even said some things in the email when we were talking that made me feel that way.
Now, with your experience and the initial experience, you said you pushed your friend down
and you ran and your friend ran like in the opposite direction.
Did you ever connect with your friend to see if they saw it?
Are they still friends with you?
Yes.
Okay.
Because, I mean...
It's a tiny.
So I went to her wedding, she came to my wedding, we both got grandchildren now.
She has no interest in it whatsoever.
She calls him the guerrilla man.
But it didn't have the, he's scared or don't get me wrong, but she was able somehow to just
put it away, no interest in whatsoever.
But we had very different lives going up, so she's from the town, and for all I'm from
the town.
My parents just used to take us away every weekend.
Or we go, you know, we go fishing and we just go away.
and we'd just go away.
Any time my dad would get out of town, and that's what we did.
So I don't know if that's why it affected me more,
because I stopped all that at that point.
But no, she's a very, very long time ago,
I was looking on, I thought,
I'm going to ask people at the school.
On every friend's year united, there's a school site,
so I'm going to go on there and I'm going to say,
does anybody remember the griller man in the park?
And she popped up, and she went, yeah, I do.
And honestly, this is the honest, I shut the laptop.
And I thought, no, I can't do that.
It was like, it was real again.
But, you know, so no.
People think she's this big secret.
She's on my, I say to speak, she's on my Facebook friends.
She's got no interest in it whatsoever at all.
And that's what we see a lot of times too with encounters that people have.
You know, they can have experiences with other people,
but the way you react to it is completely different.
I mean, you dove straight into it and she's ran away from it and she's just like, I don't want anything to do with it.
It is what it is that happened, but I don't want to talk about it at all, you know?
So she said, it's the gorilla man.
I'm going to know everything.
So that was your experience and it got you going.
At what point did you establish BBR investigation and start collecting these reports?
I mean, so that your experience happened in 82.
Was it years later?
No, I started collecting the reports as soon as I could, but I didn't find any until I probably
16, 17, so probably two years after and I got in touch with a, like I say, truckers.
So I was getting reports from some people of these, like the road crossing, these typical
road crossing creature, why that happens, I don't know, because if you just stayed in the shrubber,
with drive past, we'd never see it.
So the heart of me sometimes thinks they're not active.
but I'd be hearing from truckers that were way out
on like lonely single roads in Scotland
or Wales up in the island
and they'd be making these reports
banned on the cabs when they're asleep,
things being taken.
A couple of them had seen
what they describe as hairy man
or upright to let's hairy man walk across the road in front of them.
So a lot of my first ones were like that.
So they fit because they're way out in the
in the countryside.
And I just did that for as long as I can.
I think when I got to BBR,
I probably only had about 11 or 12 other than mine.
But the internet started then.
So I was like, right, I can just take this running.
I thought it'd be dead easy.
I thought I'd just put it in a search engine
and it'd answer all my questions and it didn't.
So you start looking to be foreign and anyway,
you can't search in words that you think.
So you're like, wild man.
and I'd already at that point knew that I thought
wow it's really like what they've got in America
not exactly the same but really like
so I'm going to go down the big foot corridor
it was a chap in the UK that had already started BBM
it was his interest he'd gone to America as a child
and had an experience and he came back here
and he was running the group and he just
I think he'd just had enough
he wanted to pursue with the paranormal side of things
and he just said to me Debbie do you want to take it over
and I was like yeah I could do
and I found Charmaine.
I can't remember if Ian was first or Charmaine,
because I met them both in the same six months.
Ian was an ordinary builder from Yorkshire.
He was walking his dog, but I had to stay at night.
He's walking down a farm lane.
So he said there's forest on this side and farms on this side.
The dog reacts first, starts barking and yelke.
He's looking for a fox or a rabbit or something,
and he said this thing steps out of the tree line.
It's about eight feet tall, completely hair covered, really thick shoulders.
And I asked him what his face was like, and he said he kind of kept its face in the shadow.
I don't really remember facial features.
But what I do remember is it looked left and as if to say, don't step out.
And he was so shocked.
He said the dog was running at it and barking at it.
And he said, I don't know how I did it, but I just turned around and walked off.
calmly as I could.
But he said, I went,
all right, which is the normal
Yorkshire, higher.
That's how they'd say, hello, hi, they go,
and that's what you did to it,
because he was in so much shock, he just did that.
So then he's out there, he's searching for other witnesses in the UK.
So then we're like, well, do you want to hear mine?
This is what happens to me.
And he's like, that's how we came up with the green corridor.
Can I get from his reporting and all things?
to my report in the North West
without hitting a town.
Well, I can't if I follow the river
but stay on that river and I can avoid
all towns.
So then we find Charmaine.
Charmaine's eight at the time
which is in a 40s now,
very academic.
She lived, her grandparents lived
in the highlands of Scotland
so really, really fast out there.
Now it's a sick of plantation
but back then it was natural forest.
she said it's about half a mile down the farm path to the main road
to get the mail and that's what she's doing
she's walking down with the job and the dog reacts first
and she said I'm looking for a fox or something that's come out of the farm
and I turn and she sees this she only sees him from behind
and she said it's completely hair covered
he's my eight feet tall
and he's holding on to a branch examining a leaf like this
and she runs in and she tells grandma and grandma
says oh that's just the ginger arm
like it was nothing.
So a couple of months later, yeah.
A couple of months later to driving Mac in the car
and she said, this is just this humanoid shape
in the middle of the road.
It's dark.
But it's just stood there, this illuminated hominid
and none of the adults commented on it at all.
And she said there was another time
when they were picking raspberries
and this howl came up the valley
and all of the parents
got them all together and brought them back home.
And she, like I said,
she studied the hominid line for, like me,
she studied whatever she could to find out.
So you've got three people and you've got a nice little base going.
So it's like we can lean on each other.
She's finding reports in Scotland.
I'm finding reports in England.
And my daughter said to me,
we were pinning them on the map,
actually pinning them on a wall map at the time.
So you couldn't keep any information with it,
just the pinpoint.
And I want to know what else is like I'm going to do.
Is there any holes being reported on that area at any point?
Screaming woods are a good one.
I always look for reports of a screaming when I think, right, that's where we need to be looking.
And then she went from there.
We found Jazz.
He was seven.
He was waiting to watch how the West was one Sunday afternoon.
One of those homes, like most of us, where it stops your house is the last,
and then it steals and farms and rivers and woodlands, very like mine.
That's where he is.
He said, he looks the side of him and this is just chimp face looking in the window at him.
And he was so frightened by it that he drew it.
He sat at the kitchen table and drew it.
And went to school and showed it the teacher the day after.
Wow.
Yeah, that's enough to terrify kids.
I mean, you know, coming across something examining a leaf that you had no idea to even exist and that's peering in a window.
That's terrifying.
It's something that we didn't mention earlier, and I want to bring up, I might be wrong with the number, but you guys have about 250 researchers right now with BBR.
Is that right?
Yeah, yeah, probably more.
We've got a couple in America, some in Australia, across Europe.
It's free.
We don't ask for any money or anything like that.
And a lot of people join just because they like a podcast.
They like the subject.
They want to talk to like many people.
and then that's why we do
we do like a bi-weekly live feed
just so they can chat
I'll just wait for on
and they just chat to each other in the chat
and we meet up once a month
in a different town across the country
so our next one's on Saturday
we'll go, we'll just have a cup of tea
witnesses come out
investigators come out
and if a report comes in
an area so like today one's coming from the Medway
and the Medway is
just south of London
so you wouldn't think that
anything would be coming in there.
Well, the River Medway has 16 reports along it of upright, tall, hairy men.
So what I will do tonight is I look for a researcher or an investigator in that area
who's happy to go out and have a chat with this man.
And that's how we do it.
And then they take the report.
That comes back to me.
And then I released it on the podcast and invariable like we get.
I was listening to the podcast and it made me think about an incident that happened much, you know,
many years ago now.
You made me think we think about it in a different way.
So we get a lot of historical reports as well.
But they're still important.
They build up that knowledge base, you see.
Yeah, absolutely important.
So you guys are actually meeting with the people face-to-face then.
Yeah, whenever we can, as often as we can.
We've got a good little community going now.
So anyone that comes in that's new,
I'm not one for telling them what they've seen.
I want them to know every single theory that's out there
and their option and opinion
and then work that out for themselves.
So I don't just introduce them to say
what I would call a flesh and blood investigator
where they're out there looking for print, physical.
I will put them in touch with him,
but I'll also put them in touch with a number of other people
who have different opinions
because you might have to taste all of the flavours
before they decide.
And as you say, some just walk away.
they're not interested and others get a real real, they get a lot from it, I think. I mean,
I do. It's just really nice to be able to talk to people about the subjects that we like
without them giving in the side eye all the time. I totally understand. I totally understand.
So it seems like Bigfoot has been a huge, obviously, I mean, just judging by the name of it,
it's been a big motivating factor for the organization. For you personally, now, I know there's
everybody has their own flavor that they like. And so some people, their favorite encounter stories
are when it's terrifying that they, or some people, their favorites are, you know, did you see
amazing detail? What kind of experiences have come across your desk over the last however many
years that really stand out to you is like, that is one of my, I don't know if the right
word is favorite, but that is a, that is an encounter story that we received that really,
really just stands out to me.
There are so many of them,
but I would say Derek,
Derek lives down on the Medway.
He's really old now.
He's in his like 70s,
but this one really tugs at me.
It really, really does.
But when I said to you back in the day,
I'd be on the radio,
CB radio, anything that I could.
And I met him,
and he was from up in the northwest of where I live,
but he was down on the Medway.
And he's telling me that he's,
when the first,
down there you got to understand it's not that far after the war so he's come from a city
and he's moved to a really rural area in the middle of nowhere and he said his wife was really
frugal so she'd stretch a pound as far as she could stretch it but anything that they got or anything
that he caught when he was poaching because it's illegal to hunting the UK you're not we're not
allowed to do it so anything he got that he poached or fished she would put half of it in the
would for the caretakers.
And he said for the first
10 year he thought they were actual
caretakers like people who worked on the
land and stuff. And he said, but
it really annoyed him because if you'd catch like
four trout, you'd have to give to
the line. And she insisted
on it because she said that for all the time
the farm had been in the
family for probably five generations
and it had never failed and it'd never
failed because they did be certain rituals
where they would take it. She'd pick
blackberries. She'd leave ours there
and she'd go on
and it kind of works
and she
one night
he sat down
and he said
honestly I thought
something was going on
because she'd keep nipping off
to the woods
without me
and she said to him
have you, when you've been fishing
or you've been outside
have you ever seen anything
you know like
that looks like a monkey
and he's like
don't be ridiculous
and he had a row
he said
and he had a really bad round
he hadn't had an argument
like that
up to that point
in the marriage and she said to him, come with me
and I'll show you. And he was like, right,
okay, I will. And he said,
she storms into this woodland and she's like,
right, come out, and he said
nothing happened, nothing happened
at all. And he said,
I made the worst mistake of
my life, you know, that thing that you do when you check
to see somebody's ill.
Yeah. He put his hand on her head
as if you said, you're all right, sweet that.
And he said, she went home and she wouldn't
speak to me. But I've never seen her
that upset. I've never seen her that upset.
at all.
And they just,
after about four days
of silent dinners,
they just decided
to just let it drop
and not talk about it again.
But he said
she was really depressed
and down about it.
And unfortunately,
about five,
six years later,
she passed away.
And he went through
a really bad time
and he said
he was just drinking
just to get to sleep.
And I think they'd been
married at that point
for like 40,
50 years or something,
you know?
And he just couldn't
cope without her.
And he said,
The one thing that kept him going was she loves the garden
and he knew that if he didn't do the garden,
she'd be heartbroken even though she wasn't there.
So that's what he started doing.
He said to get himself out of it,
go out in the garden.
And he said, one day he's working in the garden
and he's seen something really far shrunk
between the farm and the garage.
So he presumed it was someone coming to Nick the generator
because that'll happen a lot here on the Land Rover
or whatever it is.
He comes to Nick.
So he runs to the house as fast as he can.
There's nothing there, nothing there at all.
So he says, I sit down,
I have a cup of sea.
light the fire and looking out the window.
He said, and I see the back end of something go under the fence.
He said, I don't suppose I can say, I'll say ass, a hairy ass.
He said it was probably, I thought it was a teenage barbill, you know,
went underneath the fence.
And he said, I run to the window and I slicked and I went down.
By the time I got up, it had gone.
Over the next three or four years, he starts seeing them a bit more.
So they're like popping out from behind trees and stuff like that.
And he said, he's this really big old one.
And you used to see him with a really big old grey female.
Never said what, he never put a word in Switzerland, but they.
And he said then one day you realised that she was right, Lily was right,
all those years that she told him.
And he'd never ever believed her.
And there he was looking at him himself.
And he just said, that's my biggest regret, is that we could have.
done this together.
So I think that's the one that sits with me.
Yeah.
And he got sadder.
Because we're still in touch and he said,
I've seen the old man today, Debbie,
and he's on his own.
She's not with him this year.
Because I know in America it's the same,
we kind of go off somewhere and you'll get lots and lots of
lots of activity and it'll quickly be quiet for once in them
and then it'll start up again.
And he said, yeah, he's on his own.
I've seen him, not seen her this year.
She's nice.
That's quite sad.
But yeah, we're still in touch.
I talk to him quite often, but he is lovely.
But he lives where these 16 other people have reported seeing them.
Wow.
Yeah, that is sad.
I mean, it's almost like his life path went the same as these creatures as well,
where they both lost their significant other.
And that's a sad story.
I was hoping for something more peppy.
But I, so I'm assuming after he had that experience or these ongoing experiences stuff,
I imagine like you said, he has that regret and things like that.
Does he feel a sense of connection to these things?
Because she had.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, I think so.
Because obviously he's not drinking anymore.
So clearly he's got better.
throughout the intercourse
didn't remember with the interaction
I think it was just
I think the argument
hung between them a lot
because I think they were
because they were so nearly wet
and he's not believed you
I think that
that got to
that's what I got from it with him
and I said to him
you've got to let that go
you were both young
you've probably only 20 or something like
you know we make mistakes it's okay
I was found a footprint
a perfect
footprint,
toes, movement, the whole nine yards.
And my husband,
drawn through it, went like that with a stick across it.
And ooh, oh, that was there.
Yeah.
So we all make mistakes, you know,
that's what I said to him.
But there are some funny ones
and there are some like just scarer,
even though there's no actual attacks.
I'm going to say,
we don't get these reports of people being killed,
but that doesn't mean that people don't go missing
because they do.
But there's like a distraction that goes on.
Things will be thrown, noises will be made, running feet,
almost like a bluff charge.
We get an awful lot of that.
But there are the odd places in the UK where there's a high level of cryptids
and there's a high level of missing males.
You've got to be honest, that does happen.
Missing males, really?
Yeah, yeah.
There's one in the new forest, down in the new forest.
I don't know how this happens in America,
but we have a term that is no suspicious circumstances.
And that means that basically that's what the police say
when they don't know what happened.
So down in the forest,
we've got a lot of dogman reports,
K-9 reports, that kind of thing.
And they find a trainer, which is a sports ship,
with a stop and a foot within it,
and half of the cast bone.
But that was declared no suspicious circumstances.
So there's nothing suspicious about this.
It's a natural death.
Don't worry, but there's nothing to see here.
I don't really knew that because he didn't have the rest of the body.
Where I live, a similar thing, you've got along the river,
you've got an awful lot of cryptid reports,
and there's a massive number of missing men or men that are pulled from the canal, as we call it.
And there was a lady's leg found, just the bottom half of the leg.
and they said, oh, it's just no suspicious circumstances.
There's nothing going on here.
A year later, probably 20 mile upstream,
they find lots of garbage bags with her body parts in.
So the legs obviously broke.
Ami Moles have opened the bags and, you know, it's come down.
She still, no suspicious circumstances.
So naturally, she'd chopped herself up
and put her in those bags itself and tied them up.
That's what you're dealing with in the UK.
So whether there's any real attacks, we just wouldn't know, they would probably it up.
Yeah, it definitely sounds like it.
Yeah, if that's not suspicious, then Bigfoot definitely wouldn't be suspicious.
You know, and it kind of goes along with another lady.
I was trying to connect with her to be on the show and she declined, actually.
But this was UFO.
And I'm not exactly sure when it happened, but she actually saw.
military aircraft, I would assume a helicopter, shoot down a UFO.
Are you familiar with that story at all?
No, no, but it just surprised me whatsoever, yeah.
Because her whole motivation, because she's not into any of this kind of stuff.
But after what she saw, she is like, I want the truth to be put out there that our government,
our military, shot one of these things down.
and they were not acting aggressive in any way.
And so she has an angle where she feels,
it sounds like she feels very sympathetic to the craft.
But I reached out to her to have her on the show.
And she said initially yes.
And then I think she looked at my website and saw that I talk about things other than,
other than UFOs.
And she's like, none of that exists.
This guy's crazy, you know, because she was, like,
she was so new to all this stuff that all she knew was the UFO that she saw get shot out of the
guy and I think she was just like, I don't want to talk to this guy.
You know, so that is what it is.
Maybe she'll hear this interview and think it different.
Who lost?
I mean, I got that in the beginning.
I'd get people saying, why are you interviewing him?
He's not at a big foot report.
Well, it doesn't matter.
Does it matter?
I've never seen a dog member.
I spoke to thousands of people who have.
You know, we've been traumatized by it.
I've never had a UFO experience, but I can categorically tell you that I have spoken
to witnesses.
that have had implants that have lost an hour and a half of time
and they've had ball bearings in the neck or in the toe
of strange bruises.
My husband had an experience with a UFO
when he was about 21
and he had to read friends with him at the time when he happened
and he's got a triangular scar on his arm.
So for all I've never seen one,
I absolutely 100% believe that he did.
You know, I just wasn't there,
but I know when my husband's telling me the shirt.
So he has a triangle-shaped scar on his arm.
Wow.
On his arm, that's a...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's just going past and set the dog out.
Yeah, he was about 21, right?
Yeah.
Twenty-one.
And they...
It was about 1 o'clock in the morning,
and there was him and three of his friends.
What, one...
They used to, these little shocks here,
but back then, they had to shut at 8 o'clock.
So if you needed, like, anything,
you'd have to walk to the motorway,
which I think you guys call it a freeway.
You'd have to walk to a service station really
and that's what they were doing.
All kind of lost consciousness
at different parts of the walk
but all came to,
describe it from me again.
In a star shape, all head to head.
In a star shape all head to head
on top of an ancient barrow.
It was a light above them.
And it shot off.
It did a really strange,
movement and then it shot off to Winter Hill, which is a massive aerial,
a big satellite thing that you can.
We live between Juddral Bank and Winter Hill,
so there are a lot of aerospace stuff goes on there.
And that were it, but he didn't tell me anything about that until he was probably in his late 30s,
early forces.
He just didn't want to talk about it, did you?
But luckily now, I mean, I've interviewed the three men that were with him,
and they all give them technically the same story.
And then I found other people that have seen something here.
A young lady saw it on the same motorway.
She was driving with a family when they saw it around her at the same time.
So that's how I got into the UFO side of things.
He was trying to find answers for Mark, really.
Because he had a missed an important bit out.
When they got, he said when they came to,
it was like they were drunk kind of a bit.
and he said we didn't really talk about it on the way on.
We just walked home and didn't really talk about it between ourselves at all.
It was almost like unspoken about.
And they had an hour and a half of missing time.
Wow.
So with the missing time idea for him,
is the assumption that there was an abduction that was happening there?
Or what has he concluded?
I don't know.
I said to it, would you want to know?
Because one of the things we're trying to say,
up at the moment is
one of the members of
BBI has actually done
her hypnotherapy course
so we're not at no point
that we're going to put people under
regression but you can do some
relaxing techniques so that
we could do that with them and then when we
were me interviewing you tend to find you get a bit more
information out of it so I said to him
would you be willing to do that and he said no
he doesn't know what a scarier
not knowing what happened
or knowing what happened
and that's how he left it it was like
it's the lesser of two evils in it, you know?
Yeah.
But yeah.
Yeah.
That's actually something that a lot of people say, you know, when they're faced with
the option of regression therapy and were not, they, a lot of times people choose not to
because what they remember makes them feel so uneasy.
They don't want to remember anything else.
Even though you and I, as the people who record these people's experiences stuff,
we would love to know more.
The chances of that ever happening for some people is very slim.
I'd love to be depressed.
I would love to go back to that day
and kind of look at it with adult eyes.
I'd have made him bigger.
I'd have made him scarier in any way.
You know, just to be able to look at him and not run
and just taking everything that I could.
Yeah, I'd love to do it.
Is there anybody in the UK that could do that for you?
I mean, have you come across anybody that would?
Yeah, a couple of chaps have tried, but I just didn't,
I just didn't go under.
I'm not everybody susceptible to her honest.
Some people it will work really well on.
But I'm hoping because it's my friend that's done it
and we already have a trusting relationship.
I said to you do me because it might work
because I trust her.
It might be easier.
I think I'm so frightened of going back
that sometimes I kind of...
I think I forced myself out of it the last two times
to get one of me.
It's like you're going to the dentist.
You've got to do it.
But when you're in the chair,
you want to run and I think that's what maybe what I was doing. Being honest. Yeah. No,
that makes sense a lot actually. And, you know, I definitely, I definitely understand that because
there has, I've never been regressed. I don't think I have anything to regress about. But,
you know, maybe one day I will. But the thought of it, though, always has gotten me curious as
to how it works because people talk about how, you know, puts you in this relaxed state.
And I'm a kind of an uptight, tense person to begin with.
Trusting people, especially people that I don't know, is very hard for me.
And so I always wonder if I'd be one of those people that wouldn't be very successful with a regression therapy.
Possibly.
I mean, possibly.
We relaxation is a bit better.
So I tend to say to people, whatever it is that you zone out on.
So for some people, it's music, for others, it's running or riding the back.
that when you're at your most relaxed,
it's probably the best time
if you're going to,
if an interview to someone or you,
if you're nervous,
just do it when you really,
really relaxed because I think it's just much easier.
I just think,
I've seen it work to people,
so I'll say to people,
if you paint, before we speak,
just go on paint for an hour or two
just so that you're at,
you're absolute relaxed,
and I'll let you lead the conversation.
It's kind of put it in,
in their hands.
I'm not going to ask you any trick questions.
Because people are really nervous about being interviewed, aren't there?
They really are.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is definitely true.
I've had that experience as well.
Yeah.
I think my most relaxed is I tend to zone out sometimes when I'm editing my audio and I forget
I'm supposed to edit it.
And I'm just like 15 minutes goes by and I'm just listening.
I'm like, wait a second.
I forgot.
I'm supposed to be working on this.
That's me.
I think I don't remember hearing that.
So you just carry on.
Don't you think, oh, 20 minutes just come back.
I go back to that bit and start again.
That's the best bit, I think.
I get really relaxed when I'm editing.
I like the editing.
It kind of turns my brain off from it all, if you get what I mean.
Yeah.
I like kind of sourcing an image of something.
I'm really trying to find an image that will fit perfectly.
Because my art skills are useless.
True.
It really, really are.
But I just think everybody has a story, whether it be a cryptic one or whatever.
Everybody has, every person in the world has a really good story.
And you could sit and drink your coffee with and listen to it.
People have amazing stories, don't they?
They really do.
And it's really just everybody's an individual.
They all have their own life experiences.
And it's just, I don't know.
I think that people need to just get more comfortable in their own.
own skin to be able to share some of this stuff because it's really hard to come to terms with.
There's a guy I just talked to last night and his girlfriend had some really incredible experiences.
But, you know, to get her to come and talk to me, I mean, she knew he was going to be interviewing
with me.
She knows who I am.
She listens to the show.
But to get her to talk to me is, he says, like, pulling teeth.
And so, you know.
I understand.
I really do understand that.
When we were chatting an email,
do you remember I speak to you about my friend
Randy who was in BC, in Canada.
And I presumed
that it was really, really easy to make a
a smash watch report if you were from
America, from Canada. I thought people were
shouting for the stories.
And he's never really
shared with anyone but me.
And I think
because he just used to listen to
my channel and he just
said he just enjoyed my voice.
listen to the channel and his wife said, just message her, just send her a message and ask.
His Sasquatch encounters, because he's had two, are absolutely mind-blowing, absolutely
mind-blowing.
So why nobody would take them in America?
I can only presume it's because he didn't fit the mould.
Because what you've got is you've got a guy that's native to that area, so he's been out there forever.
He's in his 50s now, so he works with bears.
So he counts bear population.
He hunts his own food
You know, pretty stuff
He lives up near a slave lake
Which is not that far in American terms
From Yellowknife but in English terms
It's a long way
He was out hunting
And he said
He parked the car about five miles away
And he'd walked in
And he said he heard this noise
That he's screaming awful noise
And a moose came running out of the woodline
And he said his eyes were rolling
I was terrified. I thought it was going to kill me.
And on the back of it was what he described as a creature.
This thing that looked like a caveman
was on the back of this moose.
And he said, I didn't even think to pick my gun up.
He never entered my head.
I thought, if you see me, I'm dead.
So he just kind of backed out slowly.
And he said, where he left it was the creature
at this, like the mousse's neck in its arm
and he had it down to the ground like this.
and he said, I don't even know I got back to the car.
He said, and I got in the car and I drove and I stopped about a mile down the road
and I just couldn't put it together what I think is probably in his father.
He's his first time he'd never seen anything outrageous like that.
And it really shook him, really, really shook him.
And then, so he said he started going closer to Edmonton when he was hunting.
He went with his boys.
And he said, we get through this bit in the forest.
and it looks like every single tree's been trashed.
It's just not a tree standing up anywhere.
He said, and as we're looking,
we see this bear coming over the rise.
And he said, I work with bears,
when bears walk along, they sniff the air,
they move their head like that, and they sniff the air.
This was walking like urine.
And as it came over the crest,
you realized it was on two legs.
And it didn't see them.
And he said, when it did suddenly realize
that they were there,
it kind of turned on a dime was his expression.
So it's kind of gone like, oh, like really cartoonish.
Gone behind this tray, he said he flopped to his belly and crawled out backwards.
And that, if I hadn't taken that report, we just got completely lost.
We just, we wouldn't know about it now.
That's amazing.
That's amazing.
So he sees, the first time he sees one, it's hunting a moose.
And the next time he sees one, he's.
the one hunting and he catches it off guard and it it hides jumps it jumps to his belly and
crawls away flat to its belly and falls away and people out there that really
into satswatch will have heard that that motion yeah meant plenty of times it they had to go from
flat on the floor straight up or from straight up right down onto the belly and on both times
he was terrified absolutely terrified and he had a weapon on him and he had a weapon on him and he
said it didn't even enter his head because it was just what he was seeing was just so big.
So I thought, I'll never be able to, it's vast out there, I'll never be able to find
another report so I can say for him, look. And it did by 10 mile in Mitsum.
He's a man and a woman driving a car with the kids in the car and they see exactly the same
that he describes in the woods watching them from behind a tree like this.
So I was able to say to him, look, there's somebody else in the area that's also seen something
similar to you.
So I would imagine
because I'm hoping
that you'll chat with him
you'll get far more decent
out of him
because I don't really have
an understanding
of America
and hunting laws
and the stuff
that he taught me
was absolutely amazing
he said
there was another time
when he shot a deer
in long grass
he said
and he went over to get
it and was completely
gone
he said there was like
no drag mark
there was no sign
of the deer
running out
it was just nothing
the day
just completely balanced
Yep, that's something we hear about a lot.
You know, once you shoot your deer, you better get on a quick.
Yeah.
Because there's other things out there they're going to take it, not even just Bigfoot, but you got to track that thing fast.
Well, I would say this.
I mean, you know, if Randy's listening right now, I would love to talk to him.
And if you want, go ahead and reach out to him and stuff and see if he'd want to talk to me because I would be absolutely up for something like that.
He will. He most definitely will.
And we're keeping touch, because you always keep in touch.
We're just keeping touch, and he'll give me the odd update as a friend.
So we're not really talking about big foot or anything like that.
It's like the kids and the dogs and things like that.
He's a lovely chap.
He really, really is.
And I just thought, it's strange that there's all those people across America
that could have taken his report.
And he's only felt comfortable with this little old lady in the north-east of England.
You know, but you see what I mean?
It's a strange world, isn't it, that we live in it, really?
It's what always is.
The technology of today bridges the gap so much, you know.
There's so many people that have access to you and your show, your organization because of the internet.
The internet is the reason why you even, you know, started looking back into the whole thing, right?
I mean, you said that you kind of died off and then so.
Yeah, it did.
Definitely.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The internet does.
It does some amazing thing.
Deborah, would you be interested in doing another hour or so with us for overtime talking about
dog man, reptilians and stuff?
Yeah, of course.
Yeah, that's not a problem.
Awesome.
Well, listen, before we get out of here for the first hour, could you let people know again
where they could find your podcast, your YouTube channel, and where they can report things to
you?
I made it as easy as I can.
If you just put my name into Euro, just put Deborah Hatswell and BBR and I will cop up.
but obviously I'll give you my email and a couple of links that we can put into the description
to make it easy for people.
Fantastic.
Fantastic.
All right, Debra.
Thanks for being here for the first hour.
You're very welcome.
I really enjoyed it.
Well, that's sure, everybody.
I really hope you enjoyed it.
And if you did enjoy, please share the show with your friends.
I don't care where or how you share the show.
Just share the show if you enjoyed it because that's the best thing you can do to help this
show grow down the road.
And again, friends, let you know we are doing the YouTube as well.
so go ahead and hit subscribe on the Confessionals YouTube channel and watch today's interview if you want.
You know you listen to it just now, but if you want to watch it, go over to the YouTube channel.
You can see my ugly mug and Deborah's wonderful glowing face.
And I also want to let you guys know on my trip to Kentucky in two weeks from now.
I'm going to Kentucky to hunt the dog man.
I've been talking about it.
I want to let you guys know if you're following me on YouTube, you'll be able to catch live videos on YouTube of that trip on the way down.
I will not be able to stream in the woods even if I wanted to, which I can't.
can't because it will be no cell phone reception whatsoever. But I will be streaming periodically
on the trip down, doing some live videos and stuff while I drive so you guys can keep me company
because it's like a 10-hour drive and I'm going to be doing it all by myself, leaving around
two, three o'clock in the morning. It's going to be an early morning for me driving through the day
to get down to Kentucky and start this investigation. And if you want to watch some of the live
videos that I'll be doing on YouTube, go ahead and subscribe to the YouTube channel. And last but not
least before we get out of here. I just want to remind you, we do have a P.O. box. I did post it on
the website. So if you guys want to mail any goodies and stuff like that, I've said it before on
the show, people over the years have been asking for an address to send me stuff. And I've always given
my home address. But now I'm just starting to think, you know, it might be time to actually get a
PO box. And that's what I did. So there you go. Go ahead and mail anything you want there. And I will
get it. All right, friends, until next week, stay safe. Take care. And remember, the truth was
such a free, but first they'll piss you off.
Bye.
Awaken from the forest
in the depths of the abyss.
This creature is a paradigm of
time lost and time itself.
It fears no one.
It adheres to no rule
that man can create.
It forges its own path
and yet its path remains
hidden from the world.
The sphere of his existence
is beyond most comprehension
as it exudes its power
quietly but transcendent.
It needs no one's approval to exist, but yet its very existence is sought after by many.
It watches.
It learns.
Adapt to the ever-changing environment around it, even as the environment is wrought with corruption.
It battles the corruption only when pressed or for the protection of others like it.
It is a mirage that few will ever understand.
It's a cornucopia of knowledge from.
an era long past. It's free. It's Bigfoot.
My fantasies always consisted of making it big. My soul was nothing more than a
bargaining chip. Marketing is what they tell you to do and what you're willing to give.
Larkin to the fullest extent. I don't wait. I shoot first like high on a roadie and
and people don't understand me like reading anokian. Stretch thin like pulling in a cordial
my heart ain't primordium. All these historians telling us lies to end aside. Everything is
medicalized. Politicians selling the rights.

They're dressing alike.

My resilience is brilliant.
