Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
My name is Russell Whetela. I'm a retired postal worker
from Raymond, Washington, And right after I retired, I was
walking with a friend and he asked me if I
was aware that a family had seen a sasquatch nearby.
I was shocked. Sasquatch wasn't even in my head at

(00:22):
the time, and the next thing out of my mouth
was do you want to go looking for Bigfoot? And
my friend, being spontaneous as he is, he said yes.
So we began looking for sasquatch in two thousand and
seven and it took four years, four years to make contact.

(00:44):
They were aware of us, I know they were. We
were out there everywhere, digging here and there and basically
just ignoring us. But once they opened up, everything changed
big time. What happened and was I was walking that
trail where that family had seen that sasquatch, and I'd

(01:06):
probably walked that trail, you know, one hundred and fifty
times and nothing had happened. And then that one day
I could smell something that sounded felt that smelled like
a dog had had rolled in something dead. That's that's
the smell I got. And as I kept hiking up

(01:27):
the road. I kept smelling it. The wind was coming
down the road and I wasn't passing the carcass, so
I understood something was wrong here. Half mile past where
I should have seen the carcass, I hadn't seen a carcass,
and I still could smell that smell. And then I
heard three knocks, and that was the first interaction. I

(01:51):
went back. I was very excited. I called my friend
Russell Wilson, not the quarterback anyway, I called him and
told him that I think I had an interaction. And
also as bold as I was, I stated that I
think I could find him now. During that four years

(02:12):
that we had nothing happening happening, I did some studying
and some thought and came up with kind of a
formula that I thought might work. And we went out
to the Willpie Hills, and the first place we went to,
they were there. And now I think differently about that

(02:33):
whole thing. It was as if they knew where we
were going to go, and so they set up shop
there is what I think now, But at that time
I thought we actually found them, and it was a
family of five. We call him the Beckel clan because
because he's a big echo. He filled that valley with

(02:58):
a scream so loud I just can't even described out
loud and long it was. It was over ten seconds,
it was eleven or twelve seconds. He sustained his scream.
Now I can sustain my scream if I scream at
the top of my lungs about four seconds. Go out
and try it sometime. You'll find that you'll run out
of air real quick. So anyway, this is kind of

(03:20):
funny because when I screamed, some coyotes started yapping, and
when he screamed, the whole valley went quiet. Now that's
respect We went quiet too. I turned and looked at
my friend and at that time, you know, I was
still skeptical up until that point. And I turned and
looked at him, and I said, I am one hundred

(03:42):
and ten percent believer. Now they're real. And now what Well,
so now we know that where the family is, and
we didn't know that it was a family at that time,
by the way, but we went out out there and
we could hear some movement around the perimeter of the

(04:05):
landing where we're on and I had brought something. I
thought maybe I could amuse him or something. I don't know,
but I brought one of these things that you twirl
around your head and it sounds like a flying saucer.
So I did that and he said he could hear
him scramble a little bit, so that was not a
good thing. So we put that away and that's never

(04:27):
been broke out again. And then because we're musicians, I thought, well,
maybe I could play the guitar. See how that works.
So we went out there and started a fire and
hung around the fire and I played the guitar, and
when I got ready to put it back in the case,
I heard over my left shoulder it sounded like a

(04:48):
ten year old girl go oh, just like that. And
after that, as I played the guitar, we could hear
their voices, the old, the patriarch, the male was on
one side with the two sons, and then we could

(05:10):
hear the mom and the girl one eighty off hiding
behind a burm on the other side. And so in
between songs we could hear them kind of whispering to
each other and stuff. And that's how we figured out
how many there were and also what they were. You know.
Eventually Russell brought one of his daughters out and she

(05:34):
was somewhat of a catalyst. Well, we started a smoky
fire and you know, made the patriarch mad, and he
pushed down a tree and they screened at us. And
I do have that recorded, by the way, somewhere I
don't know where. But anyway, so we left there and

(05:55):
then because I thought, you know, well we made him
mad and when his back, So it was it was
about thirteen or sixteen months later that we went back
because his daughter wanted to go back for her graduation
gift for high school, which I thought was fun. But anyway,

(06:16):
we went back and at first I had a different
rig then and so it took him a while to
figure out who it was that drove onto that landing.
But once they figured it out, oh, the little girl
was whooping. She was so excited because she was going
to hear some music. But also as Kessa was sitting
in a chair, she could see some brush part. Well,

(06:40):
that was probably the eldest son, which Russell had seen
one night I was playing the guitar. I think he
was watching my fingering on the guitar because you know,
he could see it in the firelight. Although they got
excellent sight, he probably didn't need to do that, but
that's what he was doing. I figure and Russell had
hurt his leg and he tripped accidentally as he was

(07:03):
pacing around the campsite, and when he tripped, it scared
the one that was watching. He was only like twenty
feet away, standing next to a tree. They like to
do that because they kind of blend in. And he
scrambled one way and my buddy started to scramble the other.
It's kind of funny. So he took about three steps

(07:27):
and then he went around and joined his mom and
his sister over there. But anyway, so that's the first clan. Now,
after we found that first clan and we felt like
we couldn't go back, I started looking for others, and
crazy as it seems, I found I don't know, probably

(07:48):
five families in six months in the Olympics and around
the Willpow Hills. And found another one in the Willpaw
Hills that we eventually called the Teddy Bear clan because
they accepted a teddy Bear that we gifted them, and
we heard those two juveniles talking all the time. Also,

(08:11):
I took a couple other musician friends out there and
they're married now, but they weren't then. Anyway, they sang
a song and did such a great job. He played
the guitar, She sang a song. It was beautiful, and
there was a we heard a baby scream in the
woods in delight. She was screaming in delight. She was

(08:32):
so happy about the music. I heard her two or
more times after that. So that was that was basically
our second family, the Teddy Bear clan, and we left
them gifts and you know, interacted. I call that interaction

(08:53):
because they knew we were there, and they came and
listened to us and and we heard them. So anyway,
interesting story about that area though. I heard later a
guy that I knew, he went camping up there with
a couple of his friends. They had a pickup truck

(09:15):
and they had their camping gear in the back, and
they started picking or make setting up the camp. And
there was a log on the landing and it was
kind of in the way, so they pushed it off
the landing. They erected their tent, they started to assemble
the rest of their camp, and the log came flying
back up and smashed their tent, and so they just

(09:39):
scrambled into the truck and left and all that gear,
he says, as far as he knows, it's still there. Well,
I didn't find his gear. I did look for it
a little bit, but I know where that area is.
That's that's it's about five miles out of Raymond, i'd say. Anyway,
So now I'm collecting all these friends, right and making visits.

(10:03):
I would go up to the Olympics and camp much
of the time solo. But I first started camping in
the campground and they started coming in. They came into
the campground. Now, how did they know who I was?
That's the question, because all of a sudden it was
easy for me to find Well, I think that first

(10:23):
four years was to show me that I couldn't find them.
They find us, and I believe that they read our
energy and they decided that I was okay and my
friend was okay, and so we see him quite often now.

(10:44):
So that's that's basically the workup. So we've got you know,
we've had interaction in Pyncheon Gifford National Park, I mean
National Forest, the Olympics, will Paul Hills, and in other places.

(11:05):
I've actually had contact in four different states and thirty
plus different areas. It's almost anywhere I go, they'll come
and call, and a lot of times they'll even come
into the campsite, but usually they wait tilli in the tent.
My friend, however, last year, about a year ago now,

(11:28):
we're at the Skokomish and camping in the National Forest,
and had a juvenile run out of the woods right
up to him, turn around, run right back in the woods.
So it was really dark, so he couldn't really see
it very well and scramble and trying to turn his
phone off to see what was coming at him, but

(11:49):
it was already gone by the time he got his
phone out. I believe that was a dare you know,
from like his siblings or something. That's that's the kind
of thing they do. Now. I want to talk though
about my teacher, the one I call teacher, and he's
very local. And there's also mister Ed which is very local.

(12:14):
And anyway, my teacher had a memorial on top of
the hill where I used to hike, and I just
had a feeling that a sasquatch put that rock on
that that stump. You know, it's a big rock, and
humans wouldn't climb a hill and do that, not around

(12:36):
here anyway, so I started putting rocks next to it,
and every time I hike up there, my rocks were
pushed off. They were gone. So I'd put bigger rocks
on because I thought, well, maybe the wind's pushing him off,
you know, because the wind howls up there sometimes and
newp No, those rocks got pushed off and actually disappeared completely.

(13:00):
That one rock remained. And then I realized that that
was a memorial. I kind of conjectured it was a
memorial memorial. So I paid my respect. The next time
I hiked out there, I got this huge yellow heart
crystal that they left for me. And so when I

(13:25):
got that crystal, and that was about i'd say, two
years into contact. When I got that crystal, I understood
that I wasn't a researcher anymore, that it had evolved
past that that we were friends of some sort, you know.
But since then it's it's deepened even more. You know,

(13:47):
they're like my special family out in the woods now.
So anyway, I've received many gifts I saw. I asked
for a siding here in twenty twenty, after I finished
my first book, I asked for a sighting because I
hadn't seen one for a couple about a year and

(14:10):
a half. I guess no, it turns out it was
six months because I forgot about the juvenile. But anyway,
so anyway, I'm walking out on that rails to Trails,
which is outside of Raymond. It goes all the way
to Shala's from Raymond, and there's this one spot where
it's about straight as an arrow for two miles and

(14:34):
I'm hiking along and I see an apple tree and
I grab an apple and I start chewing on that
apple and I look in about a mile down the trail,
I see what kind of you know, looks like a big,
I don't know, piece of lumbers sticking up. I didn't

(14:54):
know what it was, and I thought, I've never seen
that before. What is that? And then as I'm walking
toward you know, that beam starts to walk and I realize, oh,
that's a sasquatch. I's still over a mile away, but
I just keep walking at him. And I had a camera,
but I don't take pictures of him, even though accidentally

(15:15):
we've we've found three so far in our pictures. But
I'm walking towards him and he just meanders back and
forth and lets me walk towards him, and I watch
him for I would say maybe fifteen minutes. As I'm
walking towards him, I get within about a few hundred
yards and he crossed sliver of light because he was

(15:40):
in the shade and cars were going by, but the
sun was shining, you know, in their face, so they
wouldn't look that way. Plus he was kind of in
this area where there's a row of trees between the
trail and the road. So anyway, he crosses that liver

(16:00):
of light, and I got a chance to see his
coloring and he was kind of tan and sort of reddish,
you know, kind of a two tone thing there, you know,
kind of reddish on top and tan, you know, his
shoulders and stuff. And so now I call him Big Red.

(16:24):
But what was amazing. He was about nine feet he's
about nine feet tall, and I have found a print
of his before, which, by the way, his right foot
appears that he's only got three toes on his right foot.
But anyway, so he's meandering back and forth and he's
doing it for me, I know he is. And finally

(16:44):
when I get within a few hundred yards, he he
walks off. So personally, I've gotten. I've seen him many
many times, but that's a very typical sighting where I'm
not very close. Now I have been close. I've been
very close. One time, I was walking out on this

(17:08):
one road and one was standing by a tree. I
didn't even see him. I would have walked right by him.
He was blending right into the tree. I looked left,
I looked right, you know, I'm looking for sasquats right
and left. And I start to turn my head and
he moves. He moves. I started to turn my head
away from him, and he moves and takes off into

(17:30):
the woods. He's like ten feet fifteen feet away from
me at the most when he did that, and I
just lunged in after him because I wanted to see
him running away. And so finally I get through the underbrush,
you know, the brush lining the road, and he's gone.

(17:52):
It's completely silent still, and there's big trees back there,
but I didn't think there were big enough for him
to hide behind, because he was just huge and I'm
not sure how big he was. It was just this bulk,
you know, like a Volkswagen size human or being, you know,

(18:12):
covered in hair, and that was a he was dark brown, darkish,
maybe even black, but no, I'd say dark brown. But anyway,
also out in that same area, I think that they
have family get togethers because I heard two talk. And

(18:34):
this is early on, so you know, I'm not ready
to go lungeon after him or anything. But I hear
him talk on the other side of a berm that's
covered with brush, and I thought, are those two bears.
I don't think those are two bears, and bears aren't
really talking, so I knew who they were. Anyways, I
listened for a while, but I couldn't understand any of it.

(18:56):
But they're talking real low, and they knew I was there.
I know they do they did. I start walking out
and down a spur. I hear this little girl again
scream and I thought to myself, that's the Beckel clan.
They're twenty miles away from where they were. Because of
that girl when she screamed at me, I realized, Oh,

(19:19):
that's that same girl that went oh when I put
my guitar away. You know. So they do travel some,
and I think that is where they were gathering for
a fish run. That time of year, there's a chum
fish run that lasts it's very brief. And speaking of that,

(19:40):
by the way, before I even had big Foot in
my head, one time I was fishing up another river
and I saw these chum salmon lined up on the
embankment and I thought, wow, that's odd. I didn't think
bears did it. And plus they weren't scratched up, you know,
or anything. Very pristine fish, and I thought, well, maybe, uh,

(20:06):
maybe maybe the fisheries people do that, and that's what
my thought was my And then later, uh, I find
it again in that's the same area where I was
talking about, where I think the families gather and they
have a you know, sort of a reunion and then
they they harvest the fish. I saw it again, a

(20:26):
lineup of fish on the embankment. So one day I'm
out there and the fisheries guys were there. There are
two of them. Uh. They were you know, taking scale
samples and measuring the fish and such, and I asked
them why they line them up on the embankment like that,
and they kind of looked at each other and looked
at me and go, oh, we don't do that, okay,

(20:49):
WHOA all right? So that was probably sasquats that do that.
Maybe I don't know why uh they do. They do
some interesting things, you know, build uh meat structures. I've
so many structures, tpees and tent tent types, dome tents
and and you know pup tent types, you know those kind. Uh.

(21:14):
I just found a tepee structure up in Wainouchi area
place that I camped last year, and they came in
and uh into my camp that night, and uh it
was a lot of fun. Uh. The juvenile that I
had been calling back and forth to earlier and we

(21:35):
had a twenty minute back and forth earlier in the day.
It was so so much fun. That's that's one of
the things that we love doing. Uh. And that's one
of the reasons why we like to get out in
the middle of nowhere, you know. I mean I heard
one call from my back deck last night. I mean
I was back there and called from the up on
the ridge. But I really can't call back to them,

(21:59):
you know, when he's there, because they've got neighbors and stuff.
So when you're out in the middle of nowhere, then
we can call back to him. We have a blast
call him back to him. Usually they use barred owl
type calls, but you can tell the difference between an
owl and a sasquatch. Believe me, the volume is five
times greater. There's also, you know, sometimes like a human

(22:26):
quality to it as well. And I sent Vic a
recording of that so you could listen to that and
and and hear what they sound like. So anyway, this
kind of thing happens, but some other very very strange
things happen, and you know, I mean metaphysical things, you know,

(22:50):
beyond just the telepathy. Oh, I want to mention that
I didn't just take it for granted that they're telepathic.
I start suspen having suspicions pretty early on, really, and
then I decided, after about you know, five years or so,

(23:10):
I decided to do a test and hope that they
would cooperate with the test. And so I ran six tests.
And I would take a pebble and I'd go out
in the woods and i'd i'd you know, lift some moss,
and I put the pebble under the moss and smooth

(23:31):
it down so you couldn't even tell it was there.
I'd send them a picture of where it was, and
they found it every time. That was three times in
two different areas too, So it wasn't the same group.
Then I ran three other tests. The first one, actually
the first one I ran, was was just I asked
for a vocal and got one from mister Ed, who

(23:52):
never talks unless he has something to say. I've only
heard him twice and that was the first time, so
that was kind of cool. So it starts to get
really crazy. So what we put wildlife cameras out there
when we didn't know they work? Didn't work. That was
the first thing we did. And I put a wildlife

(24:14):
camera out there, and we put KFC in a tree,
you know, a branch across the way there, and thought, oh,
we're going to get them, We're going to get a picture. No,
what I think is that they can detect the energy
coming from you know, even if it's not infrared, they
can detect the energy of the battery of that wildlife camera.

(24:38):
And this is something that I've actually seen deer do
in YouTube videos too. You know, they'll be walking along
and all of a sudden, boom, their head turns right
at the camera because they detected it. So anyway, that
didn't work. But what we did get was a strange

(24:59):
light shining down from above. Now I'm talking about being
out in the middle of nowhere, and for twenty minutes,
something hovered and shone a light down at the wildlife
camera from different angles twenty two minutes. And you know,
it's not a helicopter because there's no downwash. What was
triggering the camera was a breeze from the south that

(25:21):
was moving a branch. And so you know, we took
a look at the pictures and we kind of joked, wow,
we were trying to get a picture of a sasquatch
and we got a UFO. Now. Soon after that, we
were driving back from a band practice in Elma from Elma, Washington,

(25:43):
and I had to drop my two band members off
in Aberdeen and then drive home. And so we're driving
down the highway and I'm talking music and next thing
you know, this big white thing comes flying right over
the car, not making it no, it does a right
ascending turn and then turns back sharply and crosses the

(26:09):
highway in front of us. And then we can watch it.
We can see it for like seven or eight minutes
as it slowly drifts towards Aberdeen, and we're driving the
highway towards that way, and before it disappeared. So that
was That was the first UFO that I actually saw
in my life. Shocking thing. I'm a surprised, surprising thing.

(26:33):
I want you to know that I'm a pretty calm
person and so it takes a lot for me to
get an adrenaline rush. Even so, it didn't frighten me.
It didn't worry me or at all. None of this
stuff really does it all. And that's kind of a
weird quirk of my personality, I guess. But anyway, so

(26:57):
that happened. And then of course I'm out backpacking with
a couple of my cousins and triangular UFO comes drifting
over a ridge, completely silent, and that was actually an
insight for several seconds. And it's funny because we had

(27:17):
a camera right there, really good camera. Nobody thought to
grab the camera because we're all shocked, you know, we're
all in awe, our jaws are dropping to the ground.
We're just watching this thing as it drifts by. So
that was the second one, and then I've seen several since,
mostly at night. A lot of times at night I'll

(27:39):
just get a big bright flash if I'm on my
back deck. And the last two nights I've been on
my back deck because it's been clear, and if I'm
not my back deck when it's clear, I'm out camping.
I've camped nine times so far this year, so I
spent a lot of times out out there, and I

(28:00):
took two grand nephews camping. Last week, we spent a
couple of nights at Clear Lake and it was the
first camp this year that nothing happened. So that was
kind of a surprise to me because the prior to
eight camps, four of those solo and the other four
with my friend Russell. We've heard them every time and

(28:26):
even seen them. My friend Russell, he's the one that
rides in the passenger's side and I'm the driver, so
a lot of times he sees him and I don't.
I've seen him a couple of times in the last year,
and he's probably seen him six times, you know, last year.
But one was very unusual, and I want to mention

(28:46):
this one and January eighteenth, I know the date, January eighteenth.
We got up really early. Russell came and stayed at
my house and I had a presentation to make in
ocean shores, because they're seeing them in ocean Shores. So
they formed this little group and invited me to give

(29:08):
a presentation at the library there. So we were on
our way there and it's still dark outside, and we
just got past the casino exit and there's a sasquat
standing right next to the road, I mean right next
to it, like five week feet off the road, and
I'm going fifty so I'm driving right by him, you know,

(29:30):
before I even see him, He's almost by me. And
I asked, Russell, did you see that? And he said no,
And so we went to McDonald's ate breakfast. By then
it was light out, and I wanted to drive back
to see if there was a statue. Maybe they erected
a statue down there, you know, near the near the
exit or the entrance to the casino. So we drive

(29:53):
back and there was no statue, and my friend actually
saw him. He said it was kind of back in
the would a little bit, hiding behind a tree. He
said his face was was obscured by the tree. And
he said he was poking out on both sides with
his big shoulders, you know. He said it was almost comical.
So anyway that happened, Well, what's funny is is my

(30:16):
my presentation to the Ocean Shores group. The title of
it was, you know, the Telepathic Angle. So so they
showed me that they were telepathic for sure. They knew
we were coming, or he knew we were coming and
stood there and gave us a view. That's what I
want to say. Most of the time, when you see him,

(30:38):
it's because they're allowing you to see him. They want
you to see him. Every once in a while. You know,
they're not perfect. They'll make a mistake in my in
my opinion, and from reading the DNA evidence, you know,
they're They're basically human. They're us. The only difference is
their size. And I think they've developed those abilities. Uh

(31:04):
you know, their their their energy manipulation. Uh. You know
I was watching uh a calm puddle uh go turbulent
one time and it completely you know calm atmosphere. Uh.
And that was them showing me that, yeah, we can,

(31:26):
we can do that kind of thing, you know, telekinesis stuff.
Uh another time. Uh, Okay, I'm going to tell you
this weird story. Uh so Uh, I had this number
three two seven, and I had it for years and

(31:47):
I didn't know why that was my number. But if
someone asked me why what my number was? It was
three two seven. I did not know why anyway. When
I went to my first uh uh Sasquat summit, I
just went into the hotel and asked if someone had
canceled a reservation. She said, yes, someone just did and

(32:09):
it was room three two seven. And I just felt
a huge chill at that moment because I knew something
was up, that it had a connection with Sasquatch somehow
that number. Then at that convention, I met Joe Joe Houser,
who owns the Montana Vortex, and I felt compelled I

(32:36):
have to go there and check that vortex out. And
so it took me another year, but I managed to
get over there, and we went out at night, and
all kinds of things happened unattached shadows and doors were
opening and closing by themselves. He was taking pictures and
seeing orbs floating around me. And at one point we're

(32:56):
in the House of Mystery they call it. We're just
leaning up against the window and we're talking nice and quiet,
and uh we could hear we could hear some grumbling
a few feet away, and Joe says, he's here, and
I said, yeah, I know, so Joe finally he put
a camera in that room, and the first first thing

(33:20):
he catches is what looks like the outline of a sasquatch,
you know, on the cone head and no neck and
the big shoulders and stuff. But he was completely white,
you know, just bright like a bright white light. And
then he morphed into into it like a mist and

(33:41):
floated up and disappeared. Ah. So, uh, you know these
things when you when you when you see him. And
I saw that. Two thousand people saw that. He showed
that within two weeks of filming it at the Quinnall Casino. Uh.

(34:01):
It makes you realize that there's really something going on
here that's way beyond three D. So later I go
down to watch podcast down in Live down in Cottage Grove,
and as I'm leaving there, I'm driving to the coast

(34:25):
to a town called uh what's that town called? Well,
it doesn't matter anyway. The signage was awful and I
couldn't find my way there, you know, by reading the
road signs or you know. And I didn't have GPS.

(34:45):
You know, I'm old fashioned guys, so I didn't have
any of that. So I decided, well, just follow the sun,
you know, sun sets in the west, and I'll just
keep going west. I got on this lonely highway. Probably
two cars came in forty five minutes driving on that road.
It wasn't really a road highway, it was a road.
And I came around one corner and there was this

(35:08):
bear and it looked like a completely pristine yearling to me,
you know, all bright and shiny and black and beautiful.
I was all excited because I just had the thought
that I wanted to see a bear after Joe Houser
had posted a picture of a bear and two cubs
that he took, and so but I started to break because,

(35:30):
you know, I didn't know what the bear was going
to do. Well, the bear turned right in front of
me and took a leap off of the road. There
was an embankment there, but there was nothing on the embankment.
It was pretty much barren. And he disappeared into this
like invisible wall right off the road, and so I

(35:51):
stopped right there where that you know invisible wall was,
and just I sat there for for about three minutes
thinking about what just happened. How did they train that
bear to do that? And why here Now, at the time,
I was reading a book called The Golden Vortext by

(36:16):
Nick Nelson, and I thought to myself, well, he's got
these vortexts areas mapped in his book. So I looked
on on the one of those charts, and sure enough,
there was a regional vortex a demarcation line that went
right through that area. And so they performed that trick

(36:37):
on that demarcation line. But the other thing that I've decided,
my friend Rob Good can't think his last name anyway,
he wrote a book, Rob Alli. Thank you. Rob Alli
wrote a book. He's never really seen or had much interaction,

(37:01):
although I took him out one day and we heard
some knocks and stuff. So he got that out of
the system. But what he did was interview people. And
he interviewed these three men who were up somewhere in
the Inland passage or up in Alasket somewhere that were
tooling along in their boat. There were three of them,

(37:22):
and they saw this guy walking along this deserted shoreline
and they kind of worried about him, because, you know,
what's he doing out there? So they started putting over
there to find out what the hey, you know, and
as they got closer, they realized that's not a dude,
that's a sasquatch. But they kept going, and they said

(37:45):
that the sasquatch morphed into an otter and kept walking. Well,
when I read that story, I thought about that bear
and realized, Oh, they didn't train a bear. They ship
shape shifted. And I'm not sure exactly how they did that.
Did they inject the idea that I'm looking at a

(38:09):
bear or did they actually morph into a bear. It's
hard to say. Now. I have another friend, his name's
Henry Franzoni, and he wrote a book on this stuff,
and I highly recommend it. It's very it's very technical,

(38:30):
but he also puts it in layman's words and explains,
you know, how dimensions work, and how this shape shifting
stuff can work, how cloaking can work. And I've experienced
cloaking a few times. They certainly can cloak. I can
tell you that I've seen one where it was a

(38:52):
female and she was she was like like the predator type,
you know, where you could see through her. But I
also had one run right by me so close that
I felt the pressure on my face change and I
could hear him and feel him, but I couldn't see him.
He was huge. I think that was my teacher. That

(39:13):
was that area out there. So anyway, so what I'm
saying is there's UFOs. There's all kinds of strangeness involved
in this thing. So now I just want to talk
about this weekend, which is kind of cool. I spent
two nights on my deck, like I said, and the

(39:35):
first night Friday, I guess Saturday, Saturday, I'm sitting on
my deck and it's just starting to get pretty dark out,
you know, where the stars are coming out really well.
And I heard what, at first I thought sounded like
a bbie zipping through the trees, but I didn't hear

(39:55):
a bb gun, you know, the report from the bb
gun or anything. And that made me wonder a little bit,
and it got me on alert. And then a pebble
comes through and I thought, oh, there's one heighten under
the bows of my cedar tree in the back of

(40:16):
my yard. There. It's a good sized cedar tree, and
I leave the bows untrimmed for that purpose because they've
been to my house several times. And then he starts
rapping on something. I don't know what he was rapping on,
but every fifteen seconds or so he'd rap, and eventually
I saw my neighbor. I have these new neighbors. They're

(40:38):
kitty corner to me, and I don't know if they
know anything about you know, me, or what I do.
Most my neighbors are aware of it. And I saw
the light come on their house, and then the man
came out with a flashlight and shined it down in
my woods, but he didn't shine it towards the cedar tree.
But as he came out with a flashlight, I heard

(41:00):
my friend maneuver a little bit, and uh, it was
getting a little cool by then, so I was about
ready to go in, but I went and stood in
the in the lawn for about five minutes next to
my apple tree, just to see if he would come out.
But he didn't, so I went to bed. And then
last night I was out there again, and it was

(41:24):
just it was just after sunset, not too long after sunset,
and one came and called to me a few times.
It might have been the same one, although that one,
I believe the one that's visiting me is a young one.
I saw him last year in my trees and in

(41:47):
my thought he wasn't much bigger than me. If he
was bigger than me, but of course, you know this
is a year later, he might be a little bit
bigger than that. So anyway, Yeah, for quite a while
I knew they were visiting my house, and but I
wasn't seeing him. It was kind of frustrating. And then

(42:09):
my next door neighbor, Ruth made she rest in peace.
She's dead now, but she was an absolute skeptic, did
not believe my stories. Her husband had seen one when
he was when he was up ten in the fire
one night, you know, one of those slash burns when

(42:32):
he was a logger, and so so he believed, but
she didn't. She rolled her eyes every time I told
him a story. Uh. And then and then she saw
one next to my house one night. She was laying
on the swing couch that they have in their backyard,

(42:53):
and she said, for some reason, she woke up. And
I know it's why she woke up, because I was
awake on my back deck and I heard one running
through my front yard, my backyard. It only took about
two seconds for him to cover you know, several yards,
So I jumped up, but I was too late to
see him and then I started looking around for him

(43:16):
and I couldn't find him. So eventually I went in
my house. This was probably in October. It was one
of the last warm days, you know, real warm days
that you can lay out on. Well, when she rolled over,
she said she saw him standing in between two of
my windows, next to my front porch, with his hands

(43:40):
out and kind of looking back and forth like he
expected me to come around the corner or something. And
I should have. I wish i'd pursued him more because
I just thought, you know, at that time, a lot
of it too. I just thought, you know, I give
them the opportunity to show themselves to me if they want.
I'm not of go jumping into the bush and try

(44:02):
to find him and look at him, you know. And
I don't take pictures, but like I said, in fact
one is a full length picture. Every once in a
while'll show up in our pictures that we take out there.
So anyway, she knocked on my door one day and
she said, I want to explain that sign to you.
And she had a sign erected on the side of

(44:23):
the house and it said sasquat sighting here in here
at your own risk, and she explained that a story
to me that was so funny. And then what was
funny also is that she had told all her grandkids
I was, you know, full of it, and don't listen
to me, and then she had to go back and
tell him, oh, no, he's right real. I've seen one myself.

(44:48):
So that was that was just a Saturday, and last
night that's you know, I think it was makeup because
I didn't have any content for about ten days. You know,
we've been going out a lot, and so we've been
hearing them a lot. And like I said, they like
the bard owl calls, and I think that might be

(45:10):
like between friends and family, the barn owl calls. You'll
hear the other ones in other circumstances. And it's a
little frustrating to me because now I don't get those
recorded like I used to, you know, you know that
kind of thing. They don't. They don't do that much
around us. One night, after I talked to and I'm

(45:35):
trying to think his name, famous guy had a movie
made after him, The Dark Divide. Anyway, I talked to
that guy and played him my recordings, the same ones
that I sent you Vic, and he said they're just
bard owl's and I said, no, they're not. If you

(45:58):
listen really careful on that recording, you can actually hear
them shuffling around and bart owls, you know, their wings
don't make it sound, so you wouldn't be able to
hear any shuffling of feet going here and there and everywhere.
So anyway, that night I camped out at a place

(46:19):
called Radar Lake, which is known for sasquatch sidings and
interactions and stuff local one near Nasel, Washington, and I
asked them, you know, could I have something different instead
of the old bart alcohols? How about doing something different
for me? And instead they whistled and they beat drums,

(46:42):
So it wasn't quite what I expected. I thought they'd
give me a vocal some sort, but that's the way
it goes, you know. So anyway, we got another trip
planned Wednesday, I think, yeah, Wednesday, which is only the
day after tomorrow. So I've been working a little bit
today and getting ready for that. Russell and I are

(47:04):
going to go up to Mount Rainier National Park, first
time I've ever gone in there, you know, for sasquatching
to make contact with him. And there's a place called
Bumping Lake, we're going to go there and see if
we can make contact with him. We'll see what happens.

(47:24):
But my friend Russell is a catalyst too. You know,
they're coming to his home as well. He lives in
a trailer park not far from my five and one
night recently, I'm talking to him on the phone and

(47:45):
I hear this big bang and he goes, oh, they
threw another one's They were tossing pebbles at his door
while he was talking to me on the phone. Now,
they only did that while we were talking on the phone,
not before and not after, but during they were throwing
pebbals at like acknowledgment. Hey, we know you guys are talking.

(48:10):
I think that's kind of funny. Also, his neighbors there
at the trailer park have seen them in the trailer park,
so you know, now they know where he's at and
they know where I'm at, and they can It's kind
of fun. I enjoy it, you know, especially when the

(48:31):
juveniles come in camp. I had a camp out two
years ago in May. They had taken him like a
year to guide me to this spot, and once I
got there, I realized, oh, this is the spot because
there was a dome structure that was built there. And

(48:51):
I also found a tpe further down the road in
the woods, and so I set up camp there and
spent the night there. And and I don't put a
rain fly on my on my tent because I want
to see outside, you know, I want to see the
stars and if they happen to come through, I want
to see them. So it was really dark night, there

(49:13):
was no moon, and and I this is what they
did for me there though, and it was really cool.
They started off the juveniles start off with coyote calls.
They were doing coyote calls, and then the adults were
off in the distance doing barret al calls. And then

(49:35):
halfway through that recording, they switched places so that now
the barred al calls are right next to the tent
that that that camp, and the coyote calls are way
off in the distance, and they're going crazy out there too. There.
It was really fun recording. Anyway, I'm not sure if
it was that night. I think it was another night

(49:56):
that I stayed there, and U and one of them
came in. And it's funny, how you know you telepath ache,
You got this telepathic connection. I just felt it was
the young female that came into the camp, and I
sat up and I tried to see her, but I
couldn't because it was too dark, and I'm just trying
to adjust my eyes and I'm looking and I'm looking,

(50:16):
and I'm going back and forth, and suddenly there's a
bang behind me. So you know, I whipped my head
around to look at the bang, and of course she's gone.
That gave her the opportunity to move and get out
of my camp site. So that's, you know, that's kind
of the stuff they do. We have a lot of

(50:38):
fun out there doing that kind of thing. I've received
all kinds of gifts, crystals, feathers, things like that mostly,
but I consider their vocals a gift. You know. I
go out there and I play music for him every night,
and they appreciate that. I got to tell you, I

(51:00):
know they do. They like that music. So their gift
to me is the vocals. You know, That's the way
I look at it. So you know, they're really shy,
and I wish they'd come in more. I wish last
night or the night before, when I was standing out
in my yard, that he at least stepped out from

(51:23):
you know, the boughs of the tree, and so I
could see him, and like I said, I've seen him
many times. I mean over a dozen times. I don't
even know how many, and every time is a gift
and special. But you know, you always want more. I
want more contact. I want to get I want to
get up in personal with them somehow if I can.

(51:46):
And like I mean, we've had contact now for fourteen years,
and I think it's about time personally, you know, for
us to get a little bit more face to face.
Oh and you wanted me to maybe describe a sasquatch
that I've seen fairly well, I guess that would probably

(52:08):
be the one I saw in Northern California. And I
had one of my grand nephews with me, Xander, that
was he just graduated from high school. This is about
seven years ago, six or seven years ago. And as
we entered northern California, I sent a message to all

(52:29):
the locals. I said, you know, I got my two
nephews with me, and I'd just really be great if
you could find a way to introduce yourself without scaring them.
And so we're driving from Happy Camp the Cave Junction
this Lonely Highway. I can't tell you what it's called.
And we'd stopped for lunch, and then we just had

(52:50):
taken off from that and a crossed a creek bridge
and as we came around a corner, kind of a
corner as you you know, before you cross the bridge,
So I'm looking for I always look when I crossed
the bridges, and we see him a lot. My friend

(53:11):
saw one about a month ago down in the creek
bed here, not too far away when we crossed the bridge.
So anyway, as we came around that corner, here was
a ten foot sasquatch walking up the creek bed towards

(53:33):
the bridge. And I mean he was tall and lean lean.
He was not he didn't have any belly or anything.
He was very lean, looking like a basketball player, only
with these big, huge shoulders of course cinnamon colored. And
just as we came around the corner, that's when I

(53:54):
got probably my best look at the face of a sasquatch.
And to me, it looked very human. The guy looked
very human from head to toe to me, except he
was covered with hair. And I really can't describe his face,

(54:15):
but you know, it's hard to describe it, but it
was you know, dark tan. I guess, a lean face
because he was a lean he had a lean body.

(54:37):
Just human, that's all. That's all I can say. It's
very human. I didn't see well enough to see any
brow ridge or what does our eyebrows looked like? You know,
I just saw a very glancing blow of his face
before before see, the sun was rising behind him. So
once we got around on the bridge itself, the sun

(54:58):
was behind him. And to me, I asked my grand
nephew this, but he said no. But to me, I
thought I saw a vibration around his body, kind of
like an aura, I guess. But my nephew didn't see that.
But he got a really good look because I'm driving,

(55:21):
But he didn't see the face because he didn't see
it until he was on the bridge, until we were
on the bridge, and my other nephew had his face
in his phone. There's a lesson for.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
You, russy. Sure do you live an exciting life? I'm jealous.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
It's fun.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
It is sure, never a dull moment.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
No, no, And in fact, you know, I kind of
live in a portal. I you know, man, I believe
I was meant to live in this house. And that's
a long story. And I had to do with that
three two seven and coming back from the Montana vortex.
But I'm not gonna go under the math and all
that that I looked, you know, I looked up on
the map. I felt compelled to check the map and

(56:05):
and and check the angles and the distances and everything,
and and it blew my mind when I figured out,
uh that it looks it appears as if they placed
me in this house that I was meant to be here.
I had two people come up and tell me that
I should buy this house before I bought it, and
those two people don't know each other. It's the only

(56:26):
house I was ever asked to buy, uh, you know,
when I was a young guy. And so I've been
been living in this house ever since. Uh, and so
things happen in this in this house too. My friend Russell,
he's really sensitive, so he can he can see the
spirits once in a while walking around and inside here. Uh,

(56:48):
I can hear him a lot. And uh, yeah, yeah,
it's a strange. It's a strange life. Hmmm.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
Well, it's an exciting one. You to give it to you.
It's definitely an exciting one. Would you be okay to
Russ if we played that recording that you sent me
for the listeners.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
Oh, please do, and then I'll explain what happened there.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Oh great, I've got a queued up gonna play it now.

(59:19):
Thanks so much for sharing that with us.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
You're welcome. This was my first time out by the
way for the year. This was last year, early May,
really early May in twenty twenty four, and the area
was why Nucci and there was really nobody else even
close to me up there. So I was happy about

(59:44):
that because I knew that would relax then a little
bit and maybe get a little bit better interaction. Well,
a lot of times, the first time of the year
is kind of special for them, so they put out
a little bit more than usual. And it was like
right after I set up camp that I heard the
first sasquatch right across the road in the woods, and

(01:00:06):
he was giving me as that stuff. I'm not near
as good as they are, but he was just letting
me know that they were there. And so then later
I had a twenty minute back and forth with a
juvenile male and he was calling I was calling back,

(01:00:27):
and he would call and I would call and you know,
it just went on for like twenty minutes, and then
I quit and he quit. So that was the end
of that. But then I played my guitar and I
beat my drum and I heard another one from another
angle three sides now of my campsite, and he made

(01:00:53):
a little bit of a vocalization. I think it was
because he liked the drum. He was letting me know, hey,
I like that drum, dude. And then later they called,
Oh so actually I heard them, wow, okay five times
I just realized. So anyway, later they called as I
went to bed. But this particular recording was them waking

(01:01:18):
me up in the morning, so it's it's just barely
getting light out and they're coming to wake me up.
I got my tent fly off so I can see
them if they come by the tent, but they stayed
above my head where I couldn't see them. You know,
that's there's no mash up there where I could see him.

(01:01:41):
And if you listen carefully, you can hear them running around.
It's the juvenile that's doing the high pitch scream, and
then the adult is back there doing the other bard
ol sound. So that was that was pretty funn and

(01:02:01):
my gosh h and believe it or not, I don't
think that it even gave me an adrenaline rush. I'm
so used to it. When they left, you'll hear me
pat my chest three times thanking them. I'm sending them
on thank you, thank you so much for you know,

(01:02:22):
for making my trip out here special. That's kind of
that's I don't know, I just I just I have
so much appreciation and love for these people. You know,
they're they're humans. Like humans, they're not all perfect, but

(01:02:44):
because of their shared conscious I think that they're a
little more trustworthy than most humans. You know, they really
can't lie to each other like we can. You know,
they can detect a lie. Also, they can read a
person so quickly. You know, they'll see your energy and
determine whether you're the kind of human that they want

(01:03:07):
to interact with. And any of you, any of you
can interact with them if you want. You just go
out in the woods and what I do, I don't
always do it, but you know what I do is
put my hands on a tree, especially if I'm in
a unique area, I'll put my hands on a tree

(01:03:29):
and I'll send love into the tree and out through
the roots and out to the wilderness and give thanks,
you know, and then I'll send them an invitation to
come and interact with me if they so choose. Most
of the time they come, almost every time they come.

(01:03:53):
Sometimes they don't, and that you know up at Crystal
or I mean clear Lake recently. I know, I've heard
a lot of recent sightings up in the mount Hood area,
so I kind of expected a visit, but we didn't
get one. And I'm not sure why, you know, maybe

(01:04:13):
it's just I'm not going to speculate on that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
Wow, I'm sure does sound like you've got them worked
out before we get out of here. Russ, I've got
one question for you, and that is I've heard some
pretty darn experienced Sasquatch investigators put it out there that
if you hear a vocalization that sounds like an al
but it has a trill on the end, then it's
not one of these guys. The Sasquatch never trill at

(01:04:41):
the end of their owl vocalizations. Oh what do you
say to that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
Well, I've heard owls out there at the same time
I've heard sasquatch. I can tell the difference. The owls.
Their volume is a lot less, you know, So that's
that's just a I determine it. But a lot of
a lot of this is just a feel, you know.
I mean, like that one that came into my camp
site when it was dark. I just felt that it

(01:05:09):
was a young female, you know what I mean. I'll
look at a print and I'll Okay, that's a that's
a that's a male, you know. I mean, I you
just feel these things, and I know it sounds a
little bizarre, but you get connected with them and and

(01:05:30):
you understand a little bit more. Oh, I want to
tell this story. Oh, this is a good story. I
completely forgot about this story. So I went hiking uh Saturday,
And when I was out there, I was acting. I
was actually hiking towards an area where I saw a

(01:05:50):
really well defined trail that was across the creek that
I know no humans go on, you know, And so
I thought, wow, I'll bet you anything they're up there.
I want to see what's up there. So I took
a special trip out there to see if I could
get get across the creek there. I even brought my

(01:06:13):
water moccasin so I didn't have to get my my,
you know, go barefoot and or get my shoes wet.
So anyway, on the way out there, I started to
hear dogs barking, and it didn't sound like coyote to me.
Then I thought I heard some some people talking, and

(01:06:37):
I thought, well, nobody could be out here, because my
car is the only one parked back there, and there's
no way to get out there unless you park back there,
you know, unless you're really insane and hike you know,
through terrain. But anyway, so I start, I keep walking

(01:07:01):
towards that that area, and I can tell they're kind
of retreating a little bit. Then a crow comes flying
down the creek and starts circling around me and can
at me, and so I call back at it, you know,
that's my that's my usual routine. And I thought, you know,

(01:07:22):
that's weird, you know that it keeps circling me like that.
And so then I start walking towards the sound, you know,
the dogs again, and that crow tightens the circle and
gets a little more frantic, and I so wish I
had turned my recorder on for this, because I didn't
because of the creek being there, you know, the background noise.

(01:07:44):
But I wished I had, because I want to see
if those if I actually did hear people talking back there.
But anyway, so then I figured out, well, Okay, the
crow doesn't want me to go down there, so I'm
going to turn around and go back, and I got
a crow escort all the way back to the car. Now,

(01:08:04):
the other thing is two miles up that creek we've camped,
and from the other end we heard dogs and vocals
from Sasquatch from the same area. So I think that
there's Sasquatch out there with pet dogs, and there's more
than one. More than one dog, there's at least two.

Speaker 2 (01:08:27):
It's interesting you mentioned that because I've heard that before.
I've heard other people going out and actually witnessing that,
So I think there's some there there.

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
Yes, I talked to a lady once that saw a
Sasquatch with what she thought was a stray dog. Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
Yeah, just to add that to the list of the
many amazing things they do and amazing things about them, huh.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
Yeah. And that's kind of like a very recent revelation
for me. You know that, now I know a group
out there that has pet dogs and for some reason,
they didn't want me to go up there, and it's
probably because as they knew what was in my mind
and that was across the creek and go up that trail,
and they don't want me to do that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
Yeah, it's funny, how right, when you think they can't
be any more amazing, you discover something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
Well, Russ, I can't thank you enough for coming on
sharing the details of all these experiences with us. I
really appreciate it.

There for you. Oh you bet, you bet well.

Thanks again so much for your time, and have a
great night.
