Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to BIGFA Society, and I'm Jeremiah Byron. In
this show, we go beyond the campfire stories to bring
you first hand encounters from people who say they've seen
something impossible. From backwoods trails and remote mountain haulers to
quiet farms and crowded highways. The stories come from everywhere,
and each one leaves us with more questions than answers.
(00:20):
These are the voices of the people who've lived it.
To settle in, because today you'll hear another account that
just might change the way you see the woods forever.
So stay with us, all right, pick the Society You've
got the privilege of talking to Joy today. Joy's an
individual reached out to me after the episode I did
on the belt Road Booger down there in Georgia, and
(00:43):
she's got some interesting things to share from her perspective
about what she's experienced down there. So welcome to the show.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Joy. How are you doing today.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Hey, Jeremiah, I'm doing all right.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
How about you having a great day?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It's actually pretty nice out here in Iowa. It's starting
to go down and you know, kind of hit the
sixties and the fifties, so cannot complain.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I'm enjoying that. Look, you know, I want to.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Make sure that you have the time to share what
you experienced, and we'll probably be chatting along the way.
It sounds like about this, but you know, feel free
to take us back to you know, when you started
having experiences with bigfoot down in this area.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
In actuality, I didn't really have my own personal experiences
until twenty twenty two. But I grew up in South
Wolton County which now city of Southfolton, but back in
the eighties, and my great great grandparents we were the
first ones that were on this particular road. The house
(01:50):
they built was in nineteen oh eight, I think, and
I always and I grew up hearing stories about the
Crumpton Booker, or which I later found out the Comptons.
You know, the Comptons were actually the ones that had
this booger that would sit in their cattlefields. But my
granny would tell me that he I think she had
(02:11):
seen it the way she talked. I was just a
little kid then, but he said it was always described
as a white dog that would sit in the Crumpton's cattlefield.
So this Crumpton booger, my uncles and cousins and everybody
(02:32):
in the whole area knew about it. My uncle Hubert,
he would tell stories about it. I never heard his stories,
just you know, the one that my granny had said about,
you know, that encounter. But my dad's brother, I had
heard a story about him and one of his buddies
coming back from this is probably in the fifties, you know.
For the timeline and this sort of thing, I'm not
(02:54):
exactly sure. Like I said, I was a kid, but
something had tasted him and his buddy in the woods
and when he got home it was reported to you
know what. The story that was told to me that
he was very scared and thinking up about it. Didn't
know what it was, didn't see anything. And of course
my uncle Harvey, he would do wood route back when
(03:15):
my dad was a kid, and you know, he would
you know, ellude to you know, sometimes there'd be something
out there and I'd ask my dad about it. My
dad said he had never heard anything. He actually laughed
at me after I told him. Might have had my
fighting where I live now, but the belt Road Booger.
I had gotten married in the late eighties early nineties.
(03:39):
I had moved my husband then, and I had moved
down to Calida County, just outside of Palmetto with its
moon and addresses back toward Cochran Mill and all this
sort of things. And I had never heard anything when
I was looking down here about a belt road booger
or anything like that. But when we were building a
house in nineteen ninety and my husband then had gone
(04:03):
down to the house to backfill or so it's like
late at night after he'd gotten in from work. Again.
I don't know what this was or what it was,
but he came back to the house telling me that
something down there screamed and scared him to death. And
of course he grew up, you know, rural, you know
(04:23):
Sulton County. You know, he had hunted, he fished and
all this kind of stuff. He had been an outdoors
kind of person. He said, he didn't know what that was.
He just knows that it scared him to this, and
he came running home. Fully, he left out of there
in a hurry from the outsewhere a building. Yeah, and
let's see, I drove a truck for a couple of years,
(04:45):
and of course I've heard all these stories about, you know,
people seeing things on the road, you know, driving a truck.
I don't want to say fortunately or unfortunately. I never
saw anything. And we used to run EYE forty all
the time, my co driver and I never saw anything.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
What were the what were the kind of things that
you would hear from other drivers about that area.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Well, I never really heard anything from other drivers. The
only thing I heard is like recently, within the last
five years, listening to podcasts and about different driving things,
because I know I was listening to one last night
and the driver was talking about Palestine, Arkansas, and you
know he had said he hit him and this other
(05:30):
driver the only two on I forty headed east and
said one jumped the six foot fence, came across two lanes,
jumped the four foot media and went across and then
jumped the six foot fence onto the other side. You know,
I never saw anything like that. And you know, and
I've heard another story about around Huntsville just I think
(05:52):
it was a magazine delivery eye or something I'm not
sure about, where he had broke down and you know,
she had come face to face with one he was
like had to relieve himself out the side of his van,
and one sort of came up upon him and it
scared him to death. And I remember the podcast, it
scared him really bad, and I'm thankful I never thought
(06:14):
anything like that. But I do remember when I was
like a kid too, camping and here's weird noises, you know, camping.
You know, you kind of write it office whatever, who
knows what it was, you know. And then listening to
all these stories now the podcast, he has to kind
of look back and I just kind of wonder what
they might have been, if it could.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Have been a big But all the things that you
said at the beginning of the interview are those from
the same county as when your husband Where your husband
had that he heard that screen that was?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
That was in Kada County, Okay where he heard that. Yeah,
just across the Fulton County line, not too far from
cocker Mill Park, which I think was mentioned on the bill.
Rod Booger.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yes, absolutely, the stories you heard from growing up, were
those also in the same county or a different county?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah? All in all in Southwolson County. It wasn't Cowie County, yeah,
but it was in the very near vicinity. It was
near Fairburn, Georgia where all this was going on.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Gotcha, And you said you had some things happen when
you were a Girl Scout leader.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Yeah, I was about to say I was a Girl
Scout leader and we had gone camping at the Girl
Scout camp in Savannah, and of course some leaders have
separate tints from the girls, and all the girls were
I think they were. I think we had maybe six
or eight girls and we had it was platform Dent camping,
(07:41):
and the girls started, you know, started hollering, misjoy, you know,
we've got you know, something's out here. You know, hell,
you know, not help, help, but you know, we're scared
kind of thing. And of course i'd heard scratching around
and I think it was armadillo that was under my
platform tent. But I did hear something walking, of course,
you know with girls, and of course there's you know,
(08:03):
we were kind of on the far side of the camp,
but you never know what other kids are doing. And
I know there were lots of deer out there, and
I never heard anything, but it did sound like something
by peedle walking out there, and I don't know what
scared the girls. They kept telling me it wasn't a deer,
because I kind of thought it might have been a deer,
and I'm like, no, no, it's not a deer. I
don't know what it was. It wasn't a deer, so
(08:24):
I don't know what had scared the girls. And you know,
I look back over this stuff and it's like, you know,
just these minor little details that you don't know what
to attribute it to, would make some great scary stories,
you know, but you don't know, can't say there was
so squats, you know, it's just some kind of creepy stuff,
(08:44):
stuff that would creep the kids out. And then let's see, Okay,
Southlton County got remarried. Anyway, I live in currently live
in northwestern Georgia. Further, it's about an hour northwest of
where I used to live, and we live in the
(09:06):
middle of the woods. I've always lived in the middle
of the woods. I mean always, And back in twenty
twenty one, I had a friend who I don't know
if they had just started watching Bigfoot expedition or expedition Bigfoot,
whatever it is, and they had asked me, had, you know,
do you believe in Bigfoot? And I, you know, I thought, oh, yeah,
(09:29):
there's one in you know, Washington somewhere, and you know,
I'm pretty sure there is one. And I grew up
my mom was all into the alien, UFO, Star Trek
all this kind of stuff, paranormal, you know, so I
kind of grew up with some of that in the
house and had unsolved mysteries and Bertha well, anyway, so
(09:54):
I moved out here and after that, you know, my
friend had asked me about did I even I thought, wow,
you know, at the time, I was working night and
I was listening to podcasts. I said, oh, let me
just google Sasquatch and let me see what's out there.
First podcast, and I started listening to podcasts and of
course I think, you know, doors among others. The what
(10:17):
I was listening to at the time was Subsquatch chronicles
and it's the intro of course, you know how this
on there, and I was binging this. It's like, you know,
I get up for work late, you know, late in
the evenings, you know, get ready, head out the door,
and I'm just listening to this stuff in the truck
on the way back and forth. And that started, you know,
(10:41):
like the end of December. I started listening and I
think it was January. I want to say it was
January twenty first or twenty fifth or I can't remember
my first actual fighting. I had gone out and Carport
got my truck backed out, started out the end of
the driveway we have kind of belonged dri driveway and
(11:02):
got to the end of it, and of course I
love wildlife, Like I said, I've always lived in the woods.
I pulled out in the driveway and across the road
I saw these two red eyes and I thought, huh,
that's interesting. Maybe you know it's an owl or something,
because into my headlights were kind of pointed over that way,
but the headlights didn't penetrate the woods on that side
(11:23):
of the road really, but you know, I just kind
of wrote it off. Well, turned right, and I kind
of got this feeling telling me to look to my
left and Jeremiah, these two red eyes, glowing red eyes
were looking at me in through my truck windows. I mean,
it was, you know all that you know, the weeks
of podcasts that I've been listening to. I was like,
(11:47):
I was amazed. I mean, it was a surreal experience.
It's kind of creepy, but anyway, so this thing is
staring at me, and I'm staring at it, and it
looked at me, and I know people talk about mind
speaks to lepathy. It asked me. He said, who were you?
Almost like it was surprised that I wasn't one of
(12:09):
them or something. And the best I could figure is
they had heard these whoops pops that you know, in
and out me listening to this podcast, and I just
thought back to it, like, you know, to ask me
who were you? And I said, look, while I was
looking at it, I just thought back at it and
said who are you? And I'm like, oh crap, I
got to get to work. This is just crazy. So
(12:30):
I sped up. And this thing was keeping up with
my truck as I'm going along looking at it thinking
about it, and I had to have been going about
thirty miles an hour maybe, And these eyes were about
eight inches apart and they were, I don't know, probably
about the twice the size of a human. And aside
(12:51):
from the fact that they were kind of kind of red,
they had you could tell behind the redness or it's
kind of a reddish you know, like if you put
your finger over a flashlight or something, you could see
the iris and you know, the whites of the eyes,
and you can see that behind it was. I don't know,
it was just real. So anyway, over the course of
(13:14):
the next year and I don't know, a year and
six months, I don't know, it was over a year.
But anyway, for the next several weeks and months, it
would be like every few weeks I would see something,
and then after that it was anyway. I'm sorry, I
get flustered. I mean, I try not to think a
whole lot about it. It's like I don't really honestly
(13:35):
don't go outside much anymore. It's like you don't know
what's in the woods.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Absolutely, and you're doing great. I know that.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
You know a lot of times you share what you've
gone through and it can put you right back in
that state emotionally, and I just want to say thank
you for everything that you are able to share. It
can be a very tough situation. You're doing a great job.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Yeah, I'm still trying to convince myself that it's real.
I mean, I mean, in the literal sense of surreal,
It's exactly what it was. It's like something out of
a movie, like I don't even it's like I don't
want to believe it, but I know it's completely and
totally real. But anyway, over the next several weeks, there
was an instance where I looked over in the woods
(14:22):
a little further up the road and the red eyed
thing was in the woods and they were or about
I think four or five other eyes. These were kind
of the yellowish eyes that were lower down, like the
thing was like the side a tree, and these other
ones were around it like they were crouched down or something.
(14:42):
I saw that and I just like, okay, don't I
just been't, like it's not there, and I just kept
on going. Well, a few weeks later, I was on
my way to work. Further down my path. I'm the
way to work. I looked over in one of our
neighbor's pastors, and there's only two trees in the past.
This night there was quote unquote another tree that didn't
(15:06):
have any limbs, and it was about seven and a
half feet tall, and it was kind of grayish, and
it was very still, and it was literally next to
the fence that was just right up close to the road.
It didn't move. It was like a statue finding there
and I knew what it was. I just said, it's
(15:26):
you just want to I just don't want to believe it.
So anyway, after that, there was another incense. I was
going up the same path on one side of the road,
kind of up in the woods. There was one set
of the yellow glowing eyes. It was like it was
crouched down looking out over the pasture, like maybe it
(15:47):
was looking for deer, because I mean, we had so
many deer and so many wild turkey out here, it's
not even funny. And again I was going down the
road further down the mountains. Of course it's not really
a mountain. It's more like rolling hills, high high hills
or whatever around here. Anyway, going down the mountain, and
(16:10):
this is crazy. It was probably about two hundred two
hundred and fifty yards away, maybe a couple of football
fields or sooth, and I saw it. It's like I
didn't see it come onto the road, but when I
saw it, it was on the opput, you know, you know,
like oncoming side of the traffic, left side of the
road from me, and it was running, it was starting
(16:35):
to run, and its knees were bent. It was kind
of a I don't know if it was the greatest
golden I don't know because we don't have any street lights.
But in this case, it was close to one of
the telephone poles, you know, with the lights on it,
like street light thing somebody had put out there, and
when it started to run its feet, it's I say,
(16:57):
it's a cartoon like because it just was going so
fast that it started to blur and the hair on
it was blown backwards like you'd see like in some
of these model commercials where they have this, you know,
big huge fan blowing on somebody in their hair wown back,
and it got to going so fast that it started
to look like a puff of smoke, a fog or something.
(17:22):
And I watched it go across the road and then
I don't know if it's just again my brain trying
to block out whatever, but it I didn't see it
because there's like vegetab, you know, vegetation shrub, you know,
hall weeds whatever over there, and I don't know if
it had gone over and just dropped to the ground
(17:43):
and I couldn't see it when I got up close
to where it had gone to, or if it had.
You know, people talk about portals and all this stuff.
I don't really believe in that. I honestly think that
these things have capabilities beyond what sciences have really been
able to deal with quite yet. But I think they
(18:03):
vibrate so fast that we can't see them, and it
kind of you know, like you watch the Flash TV
show or whatever, how they get to run in so
fast and then you know they can run through objects,
solid objects, and they become a blur. But you know,
that kind of thing is kind of I think these
have some sort of strained capabilities like that. And then
(18:26):
I'm thinking there are the things that happen around here,
which in and amongst all this time, my husband came
up missing. I always think it's funny the jack stans.
He had four, four orange Jacks fans, and three came
up missing. It's like, who's going to take three Jacks
fans and not the fourth? Like I said, we live
(18:48):
in the woods. There's I mean, we can see one
neighbor when you know, in the winter time when all
the leaves are off the tree that are on the
next hill over. But other than that, there's really not
anybody around here.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Sorry, I want to clarify sod real quick. So you're saying,
I just want to make sure I got what was
being taken.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah, Jacks fans, you know, if you jack your car
up to work on it or whatever. Okay, like we
did it harbor freight or something, thank you, yeah, yeah. Anyway,
three of those that just disappeared off the property. We
don't know what happened to him. And we don't know
anybody that would take three and not four. A that's
(19:26):
one of the weird things. And on my truck during
all this time, the wheel weights usually, you know, when
you get your wheels balanced, you know, to put the
wheel weights on the inside of your wheels. For whatever reason,
the folks I take mine to put them on the
outside of the wheel. Well. Anyway, one Saturday, my husband's
out cutting grass and he's like, what is this that
(19:48):
keep it? You know, running over and looks and it
was wheel weight and looked on my truck, my wheelweight.
All the wheel weights on my truck were not on
my truck. It's like, who's going to come and take
we will wait thaws, I mean seriously. And another time
shortly thereafter, there were these fingertip prints. It's like, you know,
(20:10):
I think there was three or four. I've got a picture,
it's kind of hard to tell. And the light stuff
that a white truck and it was just very light,
kind of a grayish black mudge, not really kind of
a pottery type gray smudge or whatever. I can't remember.
Three or four fingertip prints kind of on my truck
(20:31):
and they were too wide to be my son. Like
I said, I've got a picture of this. I can
send you pictures and things. And I guess because I
had been out of work. It's like I'd taken some
time off. And I don't know if they were looking
to find me in my truck or thought I was
part of my truck, or you know, like a turtle thought,
you know, I was like the turtle in the shell
(20:52):
or something and they were looking for me. That's the
only thing I can figure out. Because it was towards
the back quarter panel on the driver's side of the truck,
like it might have been trying to look through my windows,
for the back windows were dark. I have an SUV
and just weird stuff like that. And then you know,
I would hear noises outside and a tern on the
(21:14):
floodlight is you know Christal flood light right here at
the back corner of the deck, and I couldn't see anything.
I wouldn't see anything, wouldn't see anything. Well, there was
a tree that the type of it had come down
and it literally came it came down right on the
tree line, which I just thought that was weird that
a tree would come down and it's literally on the
(21:35):
tree line. Like I said, not saying that I believe
this or can attribute anything, just like spots or whatever,
but it's just kind of odd because that's where I
feel like they would be, is where this tree fell,
because they could look in that window and watch TV
with us if they wanted to, with a tree line
(21:56):
where the tree fell. And I've heard anecdotal stories, you
know that these things will you know, put sticks or
rocks or something to mark out where lights of lights
come on, because I've heard that lights will you know,
make these things scatter or not come around. And I
(22:16):
found I've got a picture of it. It's kind of
hard to see because I took it out the window
of where exactly where our flood light of lights up
right there at the corner. There's two sticks where the
far side of the light would be on the ground,
and my son at the time was walking up to
(22:38):
the corner. I don't know if it might be a
quarter mile or so to the bus stop to get
it on the bus. And one day he said he
was coming home and he tells me he saw a
bear in the woods. I don't think it was a bear.
We do have bears around here, but they're you're not
like small black bears. And he said, this was a
brown bear. It's you know, I don't think it was
(23:01):
a brown black bear, which I know there are brown
black bears, but I don't think it was one of
the bearers around here. I think it was something else.
One night before I had my sightings, I don't know
how soon before, my husband never really did face, but
he was coming home one night and he saw something
red glowing in the woods on our side of the road,
(23:23):
on our property, and he said it got him so
curious that he actually stopped this truck, got out and
went and looked, showing the flashlight around in the woods.
That he didn't see anything. Who knows, you know, who
knows what the heck kut was? And it kind of
the back before I actually had my sighting, there's a
(23:44):
lot there's some back dirt roads and shortcuts you can
take through, you know, around here to get to the
school or to get to the grocery store because we're,
you know, the closest anything's like fifteen twenty minutes away.
And one of the back roads I was on there
was a deer carcass like somebody had just killed it
(24:04):
and thrown it out there. The whole thing, only the
gut pile was laying out next to it. And this
is like two thousand and maybe don't remember exactly when,
but yeah, it was laying there. The antlers were there,
the head was there. I mean, if it was a poster,
you think it would have cut the backscrap out or
it would have taken the antlers or something. But it's
(24:27):
like the whole deer was laying there and this gut
pile laying there like they had started to get it.
I've heard stories that that's what sob squats. I don't know.
It was one of these you know, dirt back rooms
that I was taking. I think what else has been oh,
the scariest before again before my sightings. This is probably
(24:51):
about two thousand and seven, after my son was born.
It was one of those you know, mild kind of
early or actually late winter, mild mornings, and I'd had
the windows open here in the kitten area and I
was cleaning. My kids were still in the bed, you know,
my son was, you know, an infant, and I walked
(25:12):
toward the kitten I heard this spring, snort, huff, noise,
nothing like I had ever heard before in my entire life. Scared.
I stopped dead in my tracks. It scared me. I'm like,
what the heck is that? It didn't got it? I
don't know. I mean, like I said, it was like
a screek, a snort, and a huff, just all kind
(25:34):
of roll one right into the other. And I talked
to my aunt about it. She's like, oh, it's the
deer and rut. I'm like, nah, you know, you got
on the internet. I got on the internet Like, Nope,
not a deer and rut, not that, not that you know,
and go through the whole animal mountain. No, it was
nothing I had ever heard before, nothing I could find
on the internet. And then there's that I have heard.
(25:54):
You know, when we first moved out here, I thought
maybe one of the neighbors, you know, way back on
the side of the wood with popping wood or something,
because you know, you hear this whack whack, and you know,
I would always be kind of curious because you know
it would only be two whacks, and who's going to
chop wood and only do two whacks? But you know,
you just kind of write it off as maybe some
(26:16):
kids in the woods or something, you know, and that
would go on off and on. And I've never heard
any of the you know, Ohio Howell or the Serrus.
I've never heard anything like that. But I've heard something
out here that sounds crossed between a hound dog and
a Cody's And there's nobody on this side. You know,
(26:40):
clo as a hound doog have codies out here, and
I don't know, it could have been a weird cody,
but it was. It was. It's been frequent enough that
you know, you kind of have to wonder, you know,
what is it. I have to wonder if it's like
I don't, like I said, I don't know if it's Cody,
or maybe somebody I don't know has a houndog somewhere.
(27:01):
But it's just it's one of these weird sounds that
doesn't exactly sound right. And okay, jump back. It's trying
about being scared. Also, the six hundred pound owl phone.
As I was walking out one night when I was
walking out to get my track to go to work,
I heard an owl right across out of the car
(27:22):
port in the woodline. It's a big owl, I mean
it was. It would have had to have been a
huge owl if it were an owl. And there was
another one back on the turnaround of the driveway over
on that side of the wood of course, it's pit's black.
All this is taken place night. I heard another one
(27:45):
and then kind of over further down the driveway on
the other side, kind of behind the house, there was
another one. That's all I could do to get out
the door, to make myself walk, I mean, just to
walk around the back of my truck to go get in.
I mean, it just I don't know, Like I said,
(28:06):
I saw, you know, two different times the eyes. I
saw the one in the pastor I saw the one
running across the road. And then my son who played
the band in October twenty I think it was I
had gone down to get him after a football game,
and this is the one that really tore me up.
(28:30):
As I was going down. It was it was further
up from where I saw the other one running across
the road. This one was on the oncoming on the
left side of the road. Looking at me as I
was going down the road, it looked like it looked
like a gorilla with salcer size eyes. I mean, like
(28:54):
voids like if you I don't know, if you ever
watched Land as a Loss. I don't know how old,
the Land of the Loss that used to come on
Saturday mornings and the fleet back with the big giant eye. Yeah,
that type eyes. That's black voige is what it looked like.
And it was it was the color of night. I
mean it was It's like like if your headlights with
(29:17):
the headlights, it's like it was the same color as
foliage in the night and the surrounding and that it was.
It had the gorilla face. It was. This one was
probably maybe six foot tall. And you know, from what
I've taught to different people and things and heard things,
it might have been a juvenile. I don't know. And too,
(29:41):
I've heard things again the podcast and talking to people
that maybe they look more like apes when they're born
and they start getting the more human type face as
they get older. It's what I've heard. So I don't know.
It might have been a juvenile. Otherwise it's an escaped gorilla.
I don't know that foo of any escape drillers around here,
(30:02):
no zoos anywhere close. And I cried all the way
after I saw that thing. I'm just like, like, Lord,
why why are these why are you so with me?
These things? It's it's scary to know all the times
I've been in the woods and these things have been there,
and and that brings me back. It's like another time
I had walked into the woods, just you know, it's
(30:25):
like one of those days. I just had to go
and I had to walk back to the creek and
I was sitting back there and I was having a
good cry, and I heard something move and I thought, well,
maybe it's a squirrel. I looked around and see where
the squirrel might have been, and I didn't see anything.
And then all of a sudden, I heard these footsteps
like it was somebody. That's my cat by the way,
(30:48):
and I said, hello, is anybody there? And I didn't
hear anything. I didn't hear anything again, and all of
a sudden, the hairs in the back of my neck
just kind of stood up, and I'm just like, oh gosh,
this is creepy. Let me out of here. So I
left and came back to the house. But I don't know.
I mean, just the stuff you grew up with. And
I know these you know, my granny believes they were real.
(31:09):
My uncles believe they were real. You know, too many
anecdotal evident people will find footprints, which around here there's
no where to get footprints. It's like we have a
gravel driveway and you know, hardwoods and times and lots
of leaf litter and there's nowhere for any footprints to
(31:30):
be So okay, the people who don't believe that there's
don't believe that there's sop squatch. I feel bad for them,
and I kind of feel blessed to know that they're
there and kind of curse to know that they're there
because I can't enjoy the outdoors like I used to,
(31:50):
you know what I mean, No.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I definitely do.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
And this is so we're talking about northwest Georgia right now, correct.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
We're talking about north plus Georgia. Yeah, where I currently live.
That's where I've had all my experiences. But yeah, I
believe that was a dog man that was which I
don't know if the belt rod booger back to that.
I don't know if that was a dog man he
was talking about or what, But I think that was
a dog of the Crumpton book I was told about
leave that was a man and too. And I don't
(32:21):
know if you know the author, Anne River Siddons, deceased,
but her she had if you google it Anne River
Siddons Atlanta Magazine and the interviewer asked her about her
favorite myth or legend and she actually mentioned the Crumpton
Booger and the way she describes it very interesting. Yeah,
(32:43):
there's all down in South Folton area. There's you know,
the Crumpton Booger was saying, and not the road.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
But just just a double check this this area because
I've talked to a few people over the years of
out northwest Georgia. There are so many different areas in
northwest Georgia that have bigfoot activity. It is absolutely crazy.
We're leaving it at the general area of northwest Georgia.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Correct, Well, I mean I could get more specific and
say we're probably about thirty forty.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Minutes north of by twenty Okay, gotcha.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yeah. And there's a gentleman that actually has a podcast
and he does research and I got contact with him
and he's had activity on his property and he's I
don't know, not far from here at all. I mean
probably fifteen minutes from here, so you know, and I,
(33:49):
you know, I kind of laughed with the kids and said,
you know, that's probably the reason we have because I
haven't seen or heard anything in the last couple of
years out of the stuff here which work. Like I said,
I haven't been outside, and I said, as much as
I've been, and I haven't. I don't work nights anymore either,
So yeah, it is, it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I can definitely understand that. I mean, you go through
situations like this and it really really does affect you.
And I don't know if people can understand that unless
they've actually gone through that situation and that that gentleman
I can't even if if that gentleman's listening, I'd love
to talk to you in the area that you've been
(34:32):
having these things happen. Have you ever talked to your
neighbors to see if they've been experiencing things as well?
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Oh? Yeah, I'm glad you add I asked my friend.
I said, I said, what do you think about bigfoot?
And she said, oh, yeah, she said, there's a family
that lives over there on the mountain. I said, really,
I said, you've never said anything. She said no, she
said her mom, which her mom's probably about ten years
(35:01):
older than I am. She said, oh, yeah, my mom
grew up over in such and such an area. And
she said, yes, that when they were kids, they were out,
you know French of neighborhood kids, about six or eight
of them were out where I think, I don't know
exactly how many. We're out playing in the you know,
one of the yards, and one of these things stepped
out of the woods and was looking at them, and
(35:21):
her I talked to her mom, and her mom has
had bookoos of fighting noises, creepy stuff that you just
wouldn't believe she's seen, orbs, the whole thing. I can
off I can give you her name and number, which
(35:42):
she's already said that you know, sheould be happy to
do an interview.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Yeah, thank you, Yeah, uh huh, and yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
So that's that's that. And then one of the neighbors
was coming down the road and I sometimes I'll do,
you know, if you happen to be coming out your
somebody coming by the stops, you know, chipchat, and I
had asked this one neighbor asked him. I said, I said,
if he's been any strange things, you know, like big frits,
(36:11):
sofquice or anything. I mean, he laughed. He said, oh yeah,
he is a thing about this out here. He said, yeah,
he said, back before we moved out here, he said,
we owned the property and said I'd go hunting over there.
And there was one who said it was a cold
and he said, after it had ice snowed a little bit,
he said, I was over there hunting and I was
looking and one slid down and an abaitenment and said
(36:34):
as it slid down, it turned around and looked at me.
And I'm just like, Okay. Nobody around here talks about it,
but it's kind of like one of these normal things,
and I'm just thinking, wow, okay. And there's there's actually
a wildlife management area I guess. It's probably about forty
minutes from here, I guess. And there's one of the
(36:56):
roads over there it's known as what was a hairy
Man Road or something like that. And then there's actually
just west of here, off twenty seven, there's you know,
Booger Hollow Road or some Booger road. I don't know,
all these kind of weird, you know, references what things
(37:16):
around here. And then I was talking to my boss
at the time when I was working night, and the
dad was part of the tribe or out here in
Rakey tribe, and they would have their talks, you know,
their little cowows or whatever they'd call them. And she
said her dad would go to these things and she
would be there, and she said the elder that would
(37:39):
tell the stories tell some really scary stories about them.
So yeah, I mean, it's it's it's out here, and
I think most everybody knows about it, and those who
don't are, you know, blissfully ignorant.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Yeah, I don't. I don't doubt that. You mentioned a
scary stories from from the those individuals, and I don't
doubt it. I mean, this area that we're talking about,
I've talked to other individuals. It's some really really intense
things that happen in this area. So I don't doubt
(38:16):
that for a minute.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Man.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
It's almost like you need to have a big meeting
with all your neighbors and have like a cookout or
something and be like, all right, let's get all the
Bigfoot stories out in the open.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Guys, get a game plan here.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Oh, I think that's the thing about you know, move
out in the woods. It's like pretty much everybody owns
a gun. Everybody leaves each other alone. If you need
a neighbor, they're there to help. Kind of thing. That's
just kind of the mentality out here. And so you know,
if you see each other path thing, you know, it's like, hey,
how you doing? But yeah, we you know, that kind
of really go on out here.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Yeah, it's it's kind of similar to out in the Sticks,
Iowa in a way.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
But if something happens, man, and those those people are
there for you, no doubt. You know, they're good people.
So wow, intense intense stuff. My goodness. Is this a
thing where so you mentioned that it's been a while
since stuff has happened.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
For you, right, Yeah, it's been a while.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Is it a thing where you would want stuff like
this to happen again? Or you're pretty you're okay with
it settling down for.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
A while, you know, after I kind of molded over
and yeah, I kind of don't like necessarily going back,
like going over exactly how I felt at the time.
Sometimes it will come back. I feel like, oh, there's
that just reminded me of another thing which you're talking
about getting you know, incidents. Yeah, I wouldn't mind because
(39:49):
I think actually these things kind of wanted to interact
with me is one reason, because I mean there's a
couple other things I just remembered. I think they did
want to interact with for me and the whole gifting thing,
you know, I had actually, right after I had had
my first two sightings, I called the BFRO and the
guy that contacted me, and he's like, well, you know
(40:12):
this is before I actually saw one face to face
or whatever. He couldn't even report it. I mean, he
couldn't even put it on the BNFRO thing at the
time because I just saw the eyes while I was
on her eyes at you know, at the time I
had contacted him.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
It still happened, too, right, It doesn't take away from
that being real.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
So yeah, exactly, really exactly. But another instance on my
way home from work one morning, and of course, you
know you see roadkill like a deal, like if the
deer gets hit, you know, you see blood out the
mouth or broken legs or squist or something. There's blood somewhere.
Well on my way to work or on my way
(40:51):
home from work on the side of an embankment. It
was a bare embankment. There was like a root or
a large stick or something sticking out of this and
this deer on the side of the embankment. I mean
it was it was kind of steep. As the deer
had fallen off of it, it would fell to the bottom.
I mean, it's not this is anyway the thing. The
(41:13):
neck was bent backwards, broke backwards. There's no blood, no nothing,
And it was like leaned over this stick that was
sticking out of the embankment and the whole gifting thing.
And that's what I thought, maybe you know, it thought
I was going out hunting at night every time I
would leave the house, and you know, and maybe I
was inept to killing something somebody it was gonna give
(41:34):
me something. There was that. And two, like I said, backtracking,
remembering this stuff before I had my sighting, and where
I was working at the time, high security, had cameras everywhere.
You know. I was like, you know, the night manager,
person on call there on fight, and all of a sudden,
(41:56):
the police just showed up out of nowhere. Of course,
they can get in police in the area can get
into the fa village into the you know, gated area,
and I'm seeing all these police on camera. I'm like,
what the heck, what's going on? All of a sudden,
I get a call from nine to one one sayings,
stay inside and make sure the doors are locked, of course,
and they're crawling around everywhere. And then you know, my
(42:19):
boss called and said, what's going on? And you know,
and I tell her, and you know, I said, I
saw nothing on camera, and I lay there, listened to
podcasts and watched the camera. That's that's what I did
pretty much all night. Nothing nothing there. And the we
never could or I never could, my boss never could
at the time, couldn't find out who reported the incident.
(42:41):
Somebody was trying to get over the fence, is what
was reported. And no, the police chief never told my
boss who reported it or what they said they saw
trying to get over the fence or what they just reported.
Somebody was trying to go over the fence. And I
look back on that and maybe this thing, you know,
I mean listening to these pot casts and you know,
if it, you know, identified me with my vehicle, maybe
(43:04):
it followed me to work because I only worked like
twenty five miles from my or at the time from
my house, so I don't know, and it could very
easily get to my work through the woods or down
the small highway that you know, my work was off
of to get there. It's without being seen. So you know,
there's all kinds of weird stuff that I just you
(43:26):
kind of in retrospect, you kind of look back and
you wonder, well, you know, this is really weird. This
is not something that's normal. You know, is it really
attributed to bigfoot? Or are you just losing your mind
because you actually saw these things, and you know, it's like,
what else could it be? It's like, somebody, please tell
me what else it could have been.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
You know, it's such an interesting thing right there, because
on the one hand, you know, we don't know a
lot about your job, which is fine, but logically it
would either you're right, it would either be trying to
get in if it was a bigfoot that was trying
to like scale fence, or potentially there's something in that
(44:07):
place where you worked, where it was trying to get
those whatever this company does. And it sounds like, since
you're the one that knows that, that probably is not
a logical option.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
There. Yeah, I don't. I don't think so. I don't think.
I mean, it could have been somebody, but I don't
think so, because the issues that we have that go
on at that place, but went on there, could potentially
have been somebody trying to scale the fence, but we
had since I was there for like five years, there
was never anybody ever tried to scale the vent, So,
(44:43):
I mean, it was just kind of weird because anybody
that knows the place know that the police aren't far away,
and the police are always on call, and you know
they'll be there very shortly, and you could get your
behind shot right exactly.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
I don't mess around in Georgia. Now you've had the
opportunity or however you want to view it, of being
able to see a bigfoot a few times, based on
what you've experienced and what you've seen, do you have
a leaning either way towards what we're actually dealing with
(45:18):
when we talk about bigfoot? Could it be maybe an
undiscovered ape or something that's more human like anything in
your mind regarding.
Speaker 3 (45:28):
That, I actually think it's some sort of primate. It's
like I Sai was saying about the one that I
the younger what I believe to be the younger when
looking like an ape, I think it's like anything else
because you know, you look at animals, how they look
any kind of like baby, gorilla, human, whatever they have,
(45:51):
it's a baby face, and then as they grow up,
they actually get an adult face. And I think that's
pretty much what the deal is in their adult face
and to look more human than a you know, gorilla
or a chimpanzee or something. I just I think they're
just another eight and I think they're just curious about us.
And I actually, you know, just from the stories about
(46:14):
you know, some of the Indians around the country talking
about you know, trading with them and this, that and
the other. I actually think they are capable of something
like that because if you look at, you know, some
of the gorilla things, they've done studies and sign languages
and how gorillas can use their monkeys or chimpanzees or whatever,
(46:35):
you know, can actually use tools and you know, like
get a stick and dig in and get ants out
or whatever. It's like these things. If they're human, I
don't think they would be living in the woods because
I mean, I know very few few humans who would
just go off the grid. And live in the woods
with no electricity and no anything. I mean, so, I
(46:57):
actually think these are some sort of the Eight type things.
You know. Of course we're eight too, but yeah, I
just think there's just some other something that nobody wants
to admit it or there because it would scare the
pants off of everybody that went into the woods.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
And yeah, it's it's definitely a thing where when disclosure happens,
because it will happen one day, there's a lot of
people's paradigms that will be forever changed, and it'll it'll
change society across the board. Have you ever been over
(47:36):
to the museum and l j or blu rag.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
Matter fact, Yeah, yes, yes, but I spoke to the
young lady in there and she told me about her
episode on your podcast, and I actually got your podcast.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
Thanks thanks, Amanda, She's great.
Speaker 2 (47:56):
Wow, that's that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (47:58):
Have you ever spent any time in the woods out
there in the Chattahoochee National Forest airy or anything?
Speaker 3 (48:05):
I thought, I not exactly. I mean, you know, we
kind of drive through there when I was younger. We
did a lot of camping like it, like up around Cherokee,
North Carolina, you know, like we'd go to Smokemont Campground,
we'd go to Cave's Cove a lot, you know, just
that kind of area up and there. We didn't do
a whole lot at North Georgia camping. Yeah, it's I
(48:30):
never saw anything when I was up there. Like I said,
I think I mentioned earlier about when we go camping,
you know, you kind of hear things. Which we went
to Mammoth Caves, Mammoth Caves out there, the campground out there,
and I remember out there hearing something at night like
something going through garbage cans. And I remember just thought
that was really weird somebody out and all the garbage
(48:51):
cans that I had heard another podcast somewhere along the
line where somebody else had heard sounded like something going
through the garbage cans at night. I just thought that
was kind of interesting. By north North Georgia, I haven't
really done any too much up that way. First camping
and out outdoors.
Speaker 1 (49:11):
It gets it gets pretty wild. But I'm sure you've
also heard things about North Georgia as well.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
But you know, joy it has been.
Speaker 1 (49:18):
It has been really enjoyable talking to you today, and
you have had some really wild and interesting accounts happen
over there in Northwest Georgia. I want to make sure
that you were able to share everything that you came
to the show prepared to talk about today.
Speaker 3 (49:37):
I don't think so. I'm sure there's something else that
I can't remember, but there's always something weird going.
Speaker 1 (49:43):
On out here in Northwest Georgia does have the weird
stuff going on.
Speaker 2 (49:47):
Well.
Speaker 1 (49:48):
I appreciate you coming on, and just another question to
ask you after we stop recording, but thank you so
much for coming on.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
