Join us as Greg “Squatch Man” Yost recounts the night that changed his life forever—when a massive Bigfoot emerged from the darkness of Ferdinand State Forest in Dubois County, Indiana. In this powerful, emotional interview, Squatch Man shares his 24 years of encounters, including the terrifying first moment a “forest giant” breathed behind a tree just 20 feet away, his unforgettable Knobstone Trail stare-down, and the remarkable experiences that convinced him the “forest people” are intelligent, aware, and deeply connected to the land.


From Clark State Forest to Daniel Boone Forest, from tree knocks to full-body sightings, Greg opens up about fear, transformation, spiritual awakening, and the extraordinary interactions that shaped his mission to understand Bigfoot. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or simply Bigfoot-curious, this episode delivers one of the most detailed encounter stories ever recorded.


Topics Include:
• Bigfoot encounters in Indiana & Kentucky
• Ferdinand State Forest confrontation
• Knobstone Trail “forest people” sighting
• How intentions affect Bigfoot interaction
• Spiritual and emotional impact of encounters
• Eye glow phenomena, tree knocks, and vocalizations
• Why Squatch Man believes they are “people,” not animals

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Big for the 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, Big for Society. You've
got the privilege of talking to mister Greg Yost today
and during the interview though, we'll be called this is
squatch Man. So squatch Man, welcome to.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Hey Deremy, thanks for having me on.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Man.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I'm doing good.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
I had my barta yesterday, want to cryptocon down in Lexington.
Seen a lot of you know, bigfoot people. Man talk
bigfoot all day. That was a great day. So yeah,
I'm doing good, man, I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
That's great.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Happy birthday too, I hope it was sounds like it
was a good one for you.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Squatch man, I you're one of the guys that people
talk about a lot. It comes up, It's come up
a lot over the last few years, and I've tried.
I'm like, I got to track down Scotch squatch Man somehow,
and you actually tracked me down, and I was like,
this is the best. So I'm so glad that we're
able to have this interview finally, because I've heard that

(01:34):
you have had some really interesting experiences over over the
years of researching and just having experiences.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah, that's correct. I've had my fair share of them,
no doubt about that.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Absolutely. So you know, when I have an individual like
yourself where you know, you just have so many years
of experience, and I want to say that you twenty
four years is what you put down when you signed up.
And so when there's an individual with that much experience,
you know, can you take us back to was there

(02:13):
an instance or a catalyst where it really launched it
into spending so much time to try to figure out
what is what is the answer to this question of
the forest people?

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Or yeah? Yeah, yeah. The launching point for me was
back in November of two when a big fed literally
walked into my life. Uh, yeah, I was just home.
I've been on an avy. I spent almost eleven years

(02:50):
in an avy. I was coming off a bad relationship.
I had a couple of children, and we broke up
and went her a separate way. She took my babies
and I got laid off for my job. I was
a union welder. This was back in two thousand and two.

(03:11):
It was a very bad year for me. So I started,
you know, I was unemployed. I was getting unemployment. So
I was going out through the forests in the woods
a lot, you know, to try to you know, try
to get answers What's going on with my life and
what direction am I going? What am I doing wrong?

(03:31):
And it seemed like nothing was working. And I don't
know if I was going to find the answers out there.
But it was quiet out there. It was a real
trink well. I could really think and really gather my thoughts.
And there was this one in particular, forest, Ferdinand State

(03:52):
Forest out in du Boys County, a town where my
mother grew up at again Ferdinand, Indiana, a beautiful little
small town. And I went out there lock as my
grandfather helped design an engineer that forced back in nineteen

(04:12):
thirty three, and my aunt took us out there a
lot when I stayed down with him during the summer,
you know, summer vacation with your cousins. He took us
out to the lake swimming. So yeah, it was a
great place, man, and I love going there. So I
went there a lot, and it's just my happy place.
And this one in particular night, I went out there again,

(04:37):
and ironically it was about the same time of the
year as it is now.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
It was.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Sometimes my birthday runs were right like on the day
before Thanksgiving today after, or sometimes even right on Thanksgiving.
You know, this year it was yesterday, so it was
four or five days before. So anyway, on this night, yeah,
my birthday was the next day. Thanksgiving was two days later,

(05:05):
and yeah, I was looking forward to that seeing all
my kin eating Thanksgiving dinner. He was always a great
time Thanksgiving. And so I figured I'd have one more
night in the forest before all the all the festivities
and everything. So I went out there that night, and

(05:26):
you know, here in southern Indiana, it was dark at
five point thirty, it was six o'clock. It's very dark.
So I got out there and I brought my dog buddy.
He was a half child, half a gold Retriever, a
very large dog, uh eighty pounds. He probably could have

(05:50):
been even everywhere. I mean he was a big dog,
looked like a little grizzly bear, and he went everywhere
I went. And he was with me that night. So
I got a little fire going.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
I brought a pack of hot dogs and buns. Yeah,
he's just gonna have a nice little night out there.
Wasn't gonna stay late. Uh, you just go over some things, man,
think some things out. And it was a very quiet
night out there, very dark, no stars, no moon, an

(06:26):
overcast sky, and the fire wasn't betting off much light.
And again this is my first encounter. I knew nothing
about this bigfoot entity, monsters.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
In the woods.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, I was in the boy Scouts, man and never
heard of bigfoot. So see that was the last thing
from my mind that night. So I'm sitting there man,
having a great night, and du Boys County shirt pulls
up and he starts talking to me as another dog
came up like a beagle, uh a bluetick howe. You

(07:09):
know it wasn't a full blood, but it was you know,
along that lines of a hunting dog. And I talked
to the sheriff for a while and he really wanted
that dog, and I'm like, well, what's not my dog?
I said, you can't have the big one there, but
you canna have that other one. He goes walk it off.
At six in the morning. I'm gonna come back out here,
and if he was out here, I'm gonna get him.

(07:31):
I'm like, well, I'm not gonna be out there that late,
but hey, you're welcome. I mean, hey, you're the sheriff,
not me. So he took off, and there wasn't nobody,
not a soul in the park, you know, of late
November night now most people's getting ready for the holiday,
and so yeah, I had to hold the whole state

(07:51):
force to myself that night. Not a soul in there
other than the sheriff that just left. So it wasn't
fifteen minutes later I heard his loud, loud noise coming
down off the hill. Yeah, I mean, I was cornered
back in this little remote area, back off a little

(08:15):
rock road over a dam, and the lake was to
the right. There's a little cut out there. I had
enough for like four or five little camp camp places
pignic tables and fire pits and that was it. And
there was a bigger hill there that that butted up
against the lake there, and there was a hiking trail

(08:36):
up up on the top of that hill.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
I've been on.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
So so I knew the area very well. But his
noise was coming down the hill. I've never heard nothing
like this in my life. Yeah, and it was like,
I mean, just crash and break and sticks. He's had
like a Sharman tank was coming down off that hill.

(09:02):
So there was a big tree there, and he stopped
behind that tree there, and it was only like twenty
feet from the picnic table in my little fire Yeah,
and I'm sitting there on the Vigney table trying to
trying to comprehend what's going on? Man, what you know,
What's what just happened?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Man?

Speaker 3 (09:24):
He just walked down at the hill and stopped right
behind that tree there. So I started hearing the loudest
breathing I've ever heard in my life. Yeah, and it
was like, yeah, I don't know if it was growling
at me or what. Then I just figured it out

(09:44):
and that was, you know, he was breathing. Yeah, he
just come down up in the hill in about nine steps,
a big old hill.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
He'll come down it like it was nothing.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
And there he was right there, uh, twenty feet away, breathing.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Loud, loud, loud.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
And my dog and his other dog walk up to
the tree about ten feet in front of the tree,
and they stop. And then they're just sitting there looking
up at the tree. And I'm screaming at him, Buddy,
his name is Buddy. I'm screaming at him, Buddy, get
back here, Buddy. He wouldn't even turn around nothing, And

(10:24):
him and that other dog is sitting there, Yeah, like
they were hypnotized or something. Wouldn't move.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
And far as me, I was, yeah, I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna kid you. Man.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
I was pretty frightened. I wasn't at the point of
being scared. I was frightened. There's a big difference. Yeah,
I just got out of the military. I know how
to handle myself in a lot of situations. I'm good
with firearms. I consider myself pretty good under pressure out.

(11:04):
I handled things when they pop up. I mean, you
gotta be uh, you know, make split decisions, man. And
I was pretty good at that kind of stuff. And
I didn't have an answer for what was behind that tree.
All I could think of is, you know, back when

(11:24):
I was a little boy, Mommy or a monster unner
in my bed helped me.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
But but no, it wasn't nothing like that. I was
out here in the woods by myself. There was suddenly
huge twenty feet away from me, and I didn't know
what to do. So my car was parked like a
couple of feet right from the viginning table. Yeah, I
just bought it back in two thousand. It was a

(11:52):
brand new Pontiac Grand Prix. I called her black Beauty, Man,
she's beautiful. And yeah, I had a firearm in the car.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
I had a cold forty five in the console, so
I knew I didn't have a weapons. I started realizing
that I better do something quick, man, or there's a
good chance I'm going to die. I mean, I put
this as a life. In that situation, I had to
go on full alert. I had to do anything I

(12:25):
could man to get out of there alive. And that's
the way I was thinking right then. So I got
my gun out and hey, yeah, a lot of times, man, Yeah,
I call them magazine a clip.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
You know, I'm over school.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
That's the way we used to call them, and on
some interviews I call them clips some but a lot
of people I did an interview and a lot of
people were getting on me for calling.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
It a clip. Hey, well whatever the case.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
You know, the story wasn't about my gun, and so
regardless I called it a clip or a magazine that
they knew what I meant. So so so anyway, yeah,
I had a magazine halfway in the in the gun anyway,
it was a cod forty five. So when I reached
ynogrammed it, Yeah, I jammed it up in there. I
cocked around in the chamber and I was ready for

(13:21):
this creature. Again, no idea what it was. So the
only thing I could think of, man, is started very
boldly and loud, start talking to it. And that's exactly
what I did. I told him I didn't want no trouble,

(13:41):
told him I didn't know what it was. I didn't
know who you were. I mean at this point, wasn't
a human. I mean, I had no idea. I just
know it was something really big. So's I cupa yeah,
Kepa telling them, yeah, hey, you come right that tree man,
I'm shooting you said, I got a gun here man,

(14:01):
and I will kill you. I go, you mess with
my dog or me, Uh, don't make me do it,
but but I'm going to do it. And I cussed
at him a lot. I probably used every cust word
in the book. And I was getting Yeah, I was
getting pretty angry. Yeah, you know me and my son,

(14:24):
you know, not back then. My son was a two
year old boy back then. But yeah, I always like saying,
you know, when when a man gets cornered, when it's
a life or that situation, that man's got to go
in the warrior mode, you know, regardless of what kind

(14:45):
of man he is, what kind of training he's had
in the military. I mean, every man has that mode.
They probably don't know it, but it's in there. So anyway,
I turned into that warrior mode that night, and I
was gonna fight. I was gonna fight this thing. I mean,

(15:05):
I was waiting for thee to come around the tree.
I was gonna blast him with everything I had. But
he didn't and Buddy wouldn't turn around or come do me.
So I had to walk up that ten feet and
grab Buddy with my left arm. Yeah, I lift this big, large,

(15:25):
heavy dog in my lap and take him back to
my car at the same time holding my pistol up er,
knowing this thing is gonna come around when he sees
me vulnerable like that. So I got back, I got
Buddy in the car, and I drove back to that
Damn I was just telling you about you know, I

(15:47):
was shaking like a leaf on a tree. Yeah, I
still did. I still couldn't process what was going on.
I just felt a lot better now I was in
my car. I felt safe. So I drove back up
to that pickmy table and I hit the lights on
my grand Brie, the bright lights, and I lit that

(16:07):
area up. And I looked up at that tree and
there was a big black arm from the elbow through
the fingertips hanging on that tree, with black shiny hair
hanging down of that.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Arm and from the fingers all the way to the elbow.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Ye.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
And I'm driving up slow, you know, thinking to myself.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
What is that? And I got up to the Vigny table.
I can almost get out. Yeah, right there, you open
the door. Nerves my stuff. I got it in there
and I left, and that little dog was still sitting there.
So I got like, God, why are you doing this

(16:55):
to me? I mean now I got to rescue this
other dog. So I get this better judgment. Man, I
elected not to h Maybe I should have, maybe I
shouldn't have, But I feel I pushed my luck enough
at night, and if I would have went back there,
who knows what could have happened.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
But I got away from that.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, I got away that night and it changed my life,
and it changed my life for the better.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Here I am I trying to find myself. I was
a lost man. I was a broken man, and this
thing walked into my life and he changed all that.
Now I'm I'm a very popular man. People love me,
the squatch Man. I got great stories, I got great evidence,

(17:51):
I got great pictures. Everything I do, man, is great.
And the Bigfoot thing out out that they really like me.
And I'm at the point, how or you wouldn't leave
some of the things I can do with them? Yeah,
I'm not going to jump over the whole twenty years

(18:12):
and experience. But uh yeah, that was your first question.
What got me into that? And uh yeah, there's my answer, Jeremy.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Squash Man. That that what incredible introduction to the world
of a bigfoot. Uh my goodness. And that's that's a
new area for us, but for for me, for listeners
that didn't look it up that that forest area is
just west of Hoo's your.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
Yeah, and there's been a lot of sightings. Yeah, I
mean there's been a lot of sightings around that area.
After I did that interview, Uh, you wouldn't leave. All
the people got a hold of me from you know,
around Ferdinand and around You'll do boys County up that way. Instead,
they had encounters in that forest. There's one young lady

(19:04):
I'll never forget. She got a hold of me one
Saturday morning and she's almost was panicking, said her and
her mother were jogging through there and won't come out
on them. And I'm like it a tacky and she's like, no,
we were just running down the trail and it run

(19:25):
out in front of us.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Stop.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
We stopped, and he growled at us and into the
woods walked away from us, and she goes on, I
try to tell a couple of people man, and they
just laughed at me and go there's no big.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Foots and part man.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
And so she goes and I found out about you
to a podcast and I told my mom and we
got to talk to this guy.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
So so that's what I'm in this far.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
Man. I don't really care about evidence. I'm not in
it to research them. I'm in it to find out
everything I get about him, you know. And I think
I accomplish a lot of things so far, and I've
learned a lot of things about them.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
And I do know.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
The main thing, you got to go about it the
right way. You know, if you go out there with
bad intentions and bad heart, if you're a bad person,
you're not gonna get no action from them. But you know,
take me for an example, I'm a good man, a
very good man, a very good heart. I love people, man.

(20:41):
I love the welfare people. I love the welfare animals, pets,
but both domestic and wild animals. I just got a
lot of love, man, for all God's creations. Man, And
this is the where it all starts. And I think
I share a lot of that with divorce people. And
I think that night out in Ferdinand, yeah, I like

(21:03):
to call that the awakening. I think they wanted to
see what kind of man I really was before they started,
really should I say, getting into my life? And and
ever since that, man, it's been incredible. I mean I

(21:23):
got some I got some stories that would plat out
blow people's minds. And the good thing about a lot
of these stories, I got a lot of witnesses that
have been with me. Yeah, it's just not me sitting
there and telling the stories. Yeah, a lot of people
have seen what I can do. And that's where I
got the name Squatchman. Yeah, a lot of people man

(21:46):
like a man? Are you a squatch? Or are you
a man? Are you a hybrid? I mean, how do
you know so much? And so that's where the man
that's where the name squatch Man developed from. And I
kind of liked it, so I'm like, hey, that's cool.
But but but yeah, there's I mean, there's so much
information out there all over the internet. You know, they're

(22:09):
this or that. You know, from what I can see,
I agree with some of it. I don't agree with
some of it. You know, some of us so far
out there. I don't know where peop will get these
things at. But it's a wild and crazy journey that
I have been on and and I will tell you

(22:29):
a few more stories there on the on the podcast today, Jeremy.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Was there a certain time that made you start referring
to them as the forest people?

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Yes, uh, that would be the second time and my
second encounter. I call this one the knobs don't stare down.
Work again with my dog Buddy, and we were out
of hiking. And this was three years almost see the
date of my first encounter, and we're going down the

(23:10):
Knobstone Trail. It's supposed to be one of the one
of the ruggiest, hardest trails the walk other than the uh,
you know, the Appalachian Trail. A lot of people call
it the minnieappollation.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
I mean it's a.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
It's a hard trail to go sixty six miles, the
whole trail. So sometimes after work I would go out there. Yeah,
and this is around Clark State Wares. This is in
my county. Because I figured if I didn't want to
go to all the way to Ferdinand all the time, man, yeah,

(23:47):
he goes That's where I had my first encounter.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
I said, well, maybe there are another Fords around here.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
So I started going to Clark State Fords around Deams
Lake area, up around you know Henryville. You know the
Clark State Forest very well known. It is in the
the enda's oldest and largest forest. So I'm like, well,
I'm gonna start looking in here. I mean, if they're here,

(24:16):
I'll find them in the here. So yeah, I started
hiking around man, started researching that forest, and uh yeah,
I still didn't know nothing about them. Yeah, that night
I called that thing a monster. I wouldn't share it
was a big foot. I didn't know what it was. Yeah,

(24:37):
I know it was very big and it had a
big Harry arm on it. And I always liked thinking
go back when I was growing up.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
You know, I love to show Lost in Space. You know,
they had a lot of.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Monsters like that on there, you know, bigger Harry monsters,
and that's what I kept wanted to think about. Yeah,
it was like one of them Harry monsters on Lost
in Space. But but but I mean this wasn't no
TV show man and this guy was real, so so
uh yeah, I always had that in my back in
my mind, Yeah, that I wanted to see one up

(25:11):
clothes in the daylight and really get a good look
at him and see what they really look like. Yeah,
all I see was out arm that night, So uh yeah,
I got my wish that afternoon. Yeah, I'm walking buddy,
we go about to to have miles, and I had
a turnaround point turn where I always sat down. I

(25:35):
had a bowl of water, and when water and stuff
like that in my backpack, I carry him. So I
got the bowl out, I got buddy his water. I'm
drinking my water, and this little buck comes walking by
and he had, uh, his antlers were just coming out.
Man's the blur on them. And he's a proud little fellow.

(25:58):
Man just you tell he was a cocky little guy.
And he's just prancing by, you know, about thirty forty
feet down down the little hill there. We're up on
the trail, and he didn't even mind us or nothing.
Man look right at us, and yeah, yeah, I like
to call him Rudolph man, you know, being around Christmas now,

(26:20):
he even looked like Rudolph. So there was a big
wall there of ivy and honeysuckle and vines the stuff
that usually stays green, yeah, a little longer than the
other leaves at fall off. So it was like a wall,
big wall there, and he goes prancing behind that, and
I figured that'd be the end of that. So then

(26:42):
we hear, oh, heck breakout over there, heavy footsteps, branches breaking, Yeah,
just an all out of melee going you know, Buddy's
ears are burning up, and all of a sudden.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
There comes this deer flying out of it. He wasn't
thrown out, he was flying it. He flew out on
his own, hit the ground, jumped up again. And I
can say I've never seen a deer move like his
one more loss, a little one like that.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
I mean, he was literally flying down that ridge. And
Buddy has a bad habit of chasing animals, so I
didn't want to go running through the woods. I mean,
it was about five o'clock. It's gonna get darker in
about a half an hour. So I reached down to
put his collar, his leash on his collar, you know,

(27:39):
and I'm kneeling down, yeah, and I'm talking to him
and I'm, oh, yeah, buddy, ain't that beautiful? That's why
we come out here, man see stuff like that? And
then I asked him, I go, well, what do you
think of it? Scared that little guy? So so he's
doing his lassing and all of a sudden, his head

(28:00):
goes from there to I mean, just witched it over
there and immediately starts growling hair on his body coming up.
I mean, I've never seen the dog like this before.
And I'm like, ohing, gee, what is it? So I
didn't even look up yet. So I'm thinking to myself,

(28:22):
it's got to be it's got to be a bigfoot.
It's got to be a big foot. So I got
the nerve. Man, I looked up, and I was wrong.
It wasn't a big foot. It was two bigfoots and
ever standing right there where that deer just come out of.
And one was a big, reddish, big reddish one. He

(28:48):
looked very old man. He was an ancient one. And
people always asking me why how old did he look? Well,
to be honest with you, he looked like he was
about one hundred and fifty years old.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
His hair, his hair was already cited. He had wrinkles
in his forehead. His skin was real weathered.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
He kind of reminded me of the last picture I've
seen of Chief Geronimo that they took him before he died.
He almost like a Native American face on him. Yea,
lips like ours and those like ours. This wasn't no eight,
It wasn't a monkey. It wasn't some big nanderthraw man.

(29:34):
What this was was a body that looked like ours.
Is a lot bigger in a harrier with a face
that looked a lot human than it did anything else.
And the other one was a big black one. And
I call this one a little calm because of her

(29:56):
such thing as King Kong, this be his son. This
thing was enormous, you know, the classic no neck, four
or five feet shoulders, uh, look like bowling balls up
there on their shoulders, biceps that looked like telephone balls.

(30:19):
I mean he, I mean he was like a superhero.
You could not imagine how built in buff this guy was.
I mean he just looked. I mean, he's undescribable. How
how I can describe him other than almost godly looking

(30:42):
with his body, you know, like a god, you know,
the old Greek gods. He looked like one of them.
And he's a lot more serious than the other one. Uh.
When I looked at the other one, looked like, you know,
more soothing, more comfortable. Yeah, he was a grand elder. Yeah,

(31:03):
letting me know, man, I'm safe. And the other one, yeah,
I can tell he's a lot younger. His hairline went
right over his eyes. Yeah. You can barely see him
or set back her. You a big ridge of the
big forehead and his eyes sunk back in the forehead

(31:23):
and he had like grays skin other than the other
one that had like Ruddy's tan skin. And yeah, just
by looking at him, man, and his chest and everything. Yeah, yeah,
if he was gonna do something, I was gonna die

(31:44):
that day.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
There's no way I could ever defend myself against.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
Him and his dad, his granddad, whoever that old one was.
But we just sat there and Buddy's going crazy. Yeah,
he's trying to protect me. That was my boy, and
he was doing a rent intin that day. He would
have died for his owner. He would have died for me,

(32:12):
protecting me from these creatures. And I don't like calling
them creatures now, but back then they were. And a
lot of people will say, well, those dogs are scared
of the Well, I'm sorry to tell you, Buddy wasn't
that day, says I don't care what the naysayers want

(32:33):
to say or whatever you unless he was there, you
don't know how Buddy acted that day, but I did,
and then he was a beast that day. So so anyway,
I'm watching them, I'm looking down at Buddy.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Man.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Everything's going through my head is this my last breast
coming up here. I just seen him trying to get
that little deer. I'm sure they're hungry or me and
Buddy next. Yeah, I was like, God help me, man,
God help me. Because I didn't had no weapons. I

(33:14):
really don't like carrying firearms anymore. I didn't have a
knife on me anything. I didn't they even have a
walking stick, so there wasn't nothing I was going to
defend myself.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
So I was pretty much you know, here I am.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
But the only advantage I did have I was up
on the trail looking down at him. But still we
were almost still looking out of eye. That's how tally were. Yeah,
ever fifty sixty feet down that trail, so that they
had to be nine to ten feet tall, and it

(33:53):
seemed like forever. Man, three four minutes, I said, come on,
buddy man, it's time to go out of here.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
So so again I had them leashed up. I've been down.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
I think it is a water bowl in the backpack,
slung it over my shoulder and I took off. I
looked over at the two people because they were definitely people. Yeah,
I said, sorry, we're not on the menu. I don't
know why I said that, but I did, and I said,

(34:29):
come on, buddy, let's get out of here.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Man.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
So we're walking down and I'm looking and I'm looking.
They're still standing there, not even moving. So yeah, being
a military man, I figured they would have come up
higher or come down low and flank us. You know,
when I wasn't looking, man, you get a better angle
of attack on us. Yeah. A lot of people don't

(34:54):
or an enemy whatever, you know, they don't like having
to disadvantage coming up a hill.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
So I feared it ever gonna come out.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
I was looking for a weapon, you know, a nice
size stick, a rock, and anything anything that helped me
defend me and my dog. Yeah. I didn't pick up
a knife size stick, and you can be made it
back to the car.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Man.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
I've never seen them again. I think about the Ferdinand charge,
and I think about this one, the knobs done stare down.
I think about it a lot because both of them
taught me very big lessons. One they're friendly people, and
two they look a lot like us. Uh.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Take away the hair and the uh and the huge size.
They are humans. They got two legs, two arms, hands, feet, heads, brains,
exact same by a unions male female, They reproduce their

(36:04):
family units.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
They are so much like that like us, it's it's
just too similar to be a coincidence. So that's why
I got the idea that they're more than a you know,
more than some kind of ape out there man and
their people.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Was there a time after that that you feel that
there was any form of communication that ever opened up
back and forth.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
It's funny you said that.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
I got on tape one of the best audios ever
are one Speaking, and they let me know that day
that they don't want me using no equipment. They don't
want me using aunory recorders. They don't want me to
using cameras, flour cameras, night vision cameras, infrared cameras. They

(37:06):
do not like that stuff. I mean a lot of
people use it. I haven't seen much stuff come from them,
but a lot of people use that stuff. I don't
because when I did put my recorder back by my
gifting stuff, you know, where I camp out, I give them,
I give them gifts, mainly food items. They love it.

(37:27):
In return, they do stuff for me. And on this
one particular name, I had four or five people camping
with me, and I said, look, I'm gonna send my
recorder back there by the gifting stuff, hide it under
this tree or put leaves on it to see if
we can pick something up. And boy, when I got

(37:49):
on the next day, I played at twenty four hours.
And when I got on the next day, even not
believe some of the things I've heard, But the main
thing I heard on it. I mean I can speak
all our about what was on that tape, but the
main thing was on it was one You can hear
one walk right up to it, pick it up and

(38:12):
tap on it like this. He taps on it and
then he goes, you know, very similar to that. And
an other man walks up and he goes your way,
which is it? And then you hear him go oh,

(38:37):
you're like disgusted. So you hear the big one that
found it takes about five steps.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
I mean, you hear all this is going on.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Man fifty feet from us where about the campfire they're
cooking hot dogs? Is this highning when all this happened.
That was the mark on my audio. And this happened
in a highning. So all this is going on back there.
So he takes about five steps and he rips a
branch out of a tree. You hear it, damn and

(39:13):
does a real out tree knock. And we're all sitting
up there, we all heard that tree knock, and I'm like, oh,
that's that's cool, man. I hope my recorder got it.
So I got that all in one day. But I
figure they got pretty mad because they don't want me
using that recorder, so I quit using it. And if

(39:35):
I do take pictures, I asked first, and I'm gonna
take pictures. If you don't want to be in the picture, leave,
If not, hey be my guest.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
And I had to.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
Teach other people to do this, and you would not
believe the pictures we have got from up there in
my camp a lot of forest people. And then there
was another night when I come to real that they
know who I am. I had one come up behind

(40:06):
my tent at three o'clock in the morning and I'm
just about sleeping, just about halfway between sleeping and not sleeping,
and I hear a greag. They're kind of like a breathing.
I heard of Ferdinand, and so I got up all
my elbows and I'm like, man, no way, something just

(40:30):
called my name. So I'm like, oh, man, and I'm
telling I'm talking to myself. I'm like, no, man, you're
hearing things. And then nobody called your name. I lay back.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Now I go back to sleep.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
Man. So I saw my elballs and and then I
then my other voices like oh, I don't know, signd of,
like somebody says something to me. I like to go
at all angles. I like to write nothing off or
you know, just miss anything. Yeah, to till until the

(41:03):
writing's on the wall. So so it was a good,
good five minutes went by in this time, no mistake. Really,
it's really loud, really loud. So I'm like, OMG, and

(41:23):
I don't know if you ever heard this I have
if anything ever caused your name from the woods at night,
don't answer it. I mean I heard that before. So
that was in my line like I'm not answering. I
am not answering back. So all of a sudden, I
had two gentlemen from a hall right next to me,

(41:45):
and one of his names Bob, and Bob yells out
a great you okay, Sometimes thinking I'm like, yeah, I'm okay, man,
Why what's going on? Why does I heard you yell?
Get out?

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Man? What's going on over there.

Speaker 3 (42:03):
So we got out of her tense and I'm like,
all right, what you hear? What sounded is real grass
for me, maam. But it's like get out and I
got what about this? It it sound more like this Greg.
He goes, yeah, that was it. He goes, well, what
was that, dude? I go, what do you think it was? Man?

(42:26):
I said, I can't absolutely tell you it was a
bigfoot man, but I think the bigfoot man was right
there behind my tent calling my name out, And you know,
a couple more people were waking up, like, dude, it's unbelievable.
I mean, no one knows your name. So uh, that's about.
That's about it for that. So I found this forest

(42:52):
right in my same county that's full of bigfoots. So
I started, uh, you know, I was really excited. I
started going out there a lot. I still go out
there a lot to this day, two or three days
a week sometimes. And there's this one creek there. I
always walk the same creek all the way back to

(43:15):
the lake and back. It's probably two and a half
three mile high. Nothing big, but I'm getting old and
it's all I need. And there's a lot of activity
on this creek. Yeah, I call it the Enchanting Creek.
So much goes on. One day, I'm casting a baby

(43:36):
print and it looked like a little bigger than the baby,
like a yeah, if people call them juveniles, adolescens and
whatever you want to call it, it's like a little
boy's print next to the baby print. So I'm casting
both of them in the significance behind us. Because this

(43:59):
was in March, cold of the winter, and back in July,
right on that same creek, I had an encounter where
I got zapped. And for people who don't know what
that means, well I tell you the whole what happened.
I walked up to this. It wasn't a cave, but

(44:22):
it was a It was a war shadow like on
his bank by the creek, and there was a lot
of room in there, and yeah, and a big fuck
could get in there and cool off whatever. So I
was taken a picture of it to show my buddy
at work. You know, a good place you over walking
to hide or cool off.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
You know, this was in July, off summer day. I
was out there sweating like a dog that day. I
remember it good. So soon as I snapped a picture
with my phone. I started sweating real bad. I got
real dizzy, all right. I went down to my knees. Man,
I thought I was gonna throw up. I was as orientating, man,
I didn't know exactly which way to go, and I'm

(45:09):
trying to figure out what's going on. Man. So I
so I got away from that area and everything went away.
So so I'm like, man, what what was all that about?
And it's kind of scary. That's never happened to me before.
So when I got back at the house, man, I
looked at that picture, and there's a mother in there.

(45:32):
It must have just had birth to a newborn. As
the baby looked blue and it had red eyes and
just like some human babies, man, and they're born blue.
So I think I got I think I'll walk up
on a mother just giving birth and she's apt to
she's just after the heck out of me and let

(45:53):
me know, Hey, we love you, dude, but you're not
getting this close. So I learned, Yeah, I learned the
valuable lot in that day. And back to them footprints,
so I'm casting them. And then again, this was in March,
a number of months later, so I'm trying to think

(46:14):
if that baby print was at the baby I've seen
in the cave, yeah, five six months earlier. Are they
up and walking this soon? I'm trying to figure out
either do they walk a lot faster than a baby,
or you know, sometimes it takes a baby, a hunion baby,
twelve months or longer to start walking. So so I

(46:37):
was just trying, you know, just thinking of all kinds
of stuff, and out of the corner of my left eye,
I see a brown figure man up on the ridge
line up over the creek. I remember, right up the
bank from me, you know, And the first thing that
going to my thought was what is a ups man

(46:57):
doing out here? Because it was all brown, That's the
first thought I had. I'm like, no, I don't sound right.
So it's glanced over and it's the Holy cow. It
was a female walking down that ridge line. I mean,
not one or two steps I've seen a good eight
or nine steps were this gal. It looked like she

(47:21):
was gliding down that ridge. Her head was barely moving.
It wasn't bombing like he was walking like a human.
This is the first time I ever seen one walking.
And the reason I know it was a female I've
seen her breast. It wasn't like Paddy. It wasn't a
real big female. I tell a lot of people that

(47:41):
this is like I call it the shock body. Yeah,
big but tall but not Yeah, a thousand pound body.
I mean, you know, maybe three hundred pounds at the
most and seven eight feet tall.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
I don't know. It's hard to tell if they're on
that ridge, but I.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
Watched her talk about yeah, eight or nine steps then
she went down over the ridge, and I'm like, oh wow.
I mean as I can win in the lottery that day,
and I mean, I'll never forget, you know, I'll never
forget all the stuff that I see. Yeah, And I
don't talk about stories much, but but what I do, man,

(48:23):
it brings back memories, you know, like it just happened
that day.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
Yeah, just like getting zapped. And I've been zapped twice
more after that, and it's no fun.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
It sounds like one of the worst things that you
can go through. Regarding Bigfoot. Do you have any thoughts
about how a person can make sure they have the
right intentions when they're going trying to go out and
look for a bigger.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
Yeah, well, first and foremost, man, you gotta have a
good heart, no if or buds about it. And you
can't go to Walmart, you can't go on to a
dollar store to buy a good heart. Either got one
or you don't. You're either a good person or you're

(49:13):
not a good person. I mean, I'm not here to
judge people. That's Jesus in God's job. I'm just here
to give you my perspective, in my in my philosophy
of what these beings are out there.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
And I do know being a good person has a
lot to do with it.

Speaker 3 (49:38):
I mean, I've known people that have been out there
thirty forty years have never seen nothing, zilch. And then
there's people like me. They walk into my life. Why
did they choose me? Do they like me? Do they
know something about me that I don't? And then I
started figuring all out, Well, you're a good dude. I've

(50:02):
never hurt nobody, unless I add to I help people
all the time. I'm a religious man, and that's the
most important factor of the force people of being a
godly man that they're all about God. I mean, if
I got one on tape saying yahwegh that's what the

(50:25):
Jewish and the Cherokee engine is called God. Yeah weyh
yay wall it's pronounced different ways, and I got one
on tape saying this. So it's it's all about man,
It's all about winning yourself, you know, with the universe,
with God, with your heart, you loving yourself, loving the environment,

(50:50):
not going out pollutiny environment, doing your part as a
human to make the world a better place. You know,
don't complain and mown and grown about everything. Hey, to
try to change it, man, fix it. You know, we
need more good people in this world. And the most

(51:12):
people don't like a lot of people. There's probably ninety
five percent of the population that whenever's one because person
and foremost they don't believe in them. I've seen all
these podcasts and all the remarks and everything, and people
are you know, you wouldn't leave all that, hey, people

(51:34):
pitt out on Bigfoot ain't real, you know, and people
like me here we're just all bunch of nuts.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
Whatever.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
But that's the thing, man, if you're going to get
into this, man, you gotta have a thick skin, and
you don't worry about what the PIOM say. Yeah, yeah,
I mean they can say whatever they want up there
on the penut gallery. I mean, I know for a
fact what I know.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
I've seen it, I lived it, and nobody's gonna tell
me any different.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
Yeah, I mean they can believe me or they can't
believe me. I could care less because I'm not here.
I'm not on here for that. I'm out here that
that that let the true hearted people, the good people know.
The way to the forced people are through your hearts.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
Man.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
And once you once.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
You've build that first an interaction with them, they're they're
gonna know what kind of person you are. Yeah. I
think they can go after people with good hearts and
they go from there. I mean, there's a lot of
people like me. I'm not the only one. Uh. But again,

(52:47):
I don't get into other people's business, man, I don't. Yeah,
I speak highly of everybody. Yeah, I'm not on here
now with this guy, y'all. I don't like him. I
don't like her. Hey, to each their own, man, Wherever
you want to go about this, Yeah, there's no book written. Yeah,
you got to follow these rules. So so it's how

(53:10):
you want to how you want to take it. And
this is the way I've taken it and it's working
great for me.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Is there a way that so the tapes that you've
mentioned where you've recorded things. Are those available publicly anywhere
or are those just like personal.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
I got them now, I haven't personally put them out
on Yeah, public media. I played it at I spoke
at Bigfoot conferences.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
I play them there. But yeah, people love it and
love me.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
Add on my tape that I sent to you a
sound expert in Quantico, Virginia. That gives you an ideal
that came back back. Uh, non human And that's even
with the ahwah so is. Yeah, it was an English language,

(54:09):
but it wasn't a human speaking it, so to say.
In the First War he was talking, is all. And
I call it squatch Dog. That was totally non human. Yeah,
and this came back from from the man in Juanaico,
the the speech specialist that, yeah, does this for a

(54:31):
living every day.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
So that was good to know.

Speaker 3 (54:34):
Man, it wasn't somebody out in the woods hoaxing or nothing.
But I know it wouldn't be anyway. But you got
to be sure.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
It sounds like people definitely keep an eye out for
when squatch Man does presentations. I'm guessing you probably do.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
Yes, Yeah, actually I did like five. It's just this
past year and U uh yeah, the Indiana Bigfoot Conference,
it's always a great time. I've been there two years
in a row now. I spoke in one dawn in
Kentucky down by Mammon's Cave about a month ago. That

(55:17):
was a really good one.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
I went all the way down to London, Kentucky, down
by Tennessee. Uh.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
All these all these communities that they're all popping up everywhere.
It's the Bigfoot phenomenon. Everybody wants to know all about Bigfoot.
And and that's where I feel most comfortable at. Yeah,
letting these people know my perspective on it. And and
they really seem to like what I tell them. I mean,

(55:48):
I have huge crowds at my presentations. Uh, good reaction
from the people. Yeah, they like what I say.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
Man.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
And there's not a lot of people like me. But
I just went to cryptocon down in Luxington, Kentucky yesterday. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
I'm good friends with a lot of them guys down there. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
Russell Acord from the Expedition Bigfoot, Yeah, he was there.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
He's a great friend of mine.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
Yeah, even autographed and gave me two of his books
he just wrote man for a birthday present.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
Uh Yeah, yeah, great man.

Speaker 3 (56:29):
Russell Man.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
I can't speak enough good things about the guy Charlie
Raymond Man. He gave me a book he just wrote. Yeah,
Bigfoot Encounters in the Daniel Boone Forest.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
Yeah, Charlie's one of the first guys I met when
I got into this.

Speaker 3 (56:47):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
He just liked the rest of us. Man.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
He loves Bigfoot, And you gotta love people like that, man.
I mean, they stick to their guns. They don't shy
away when people try to bash them. And I mean
when we know what we know, man, when we know
they're out there, and a lot of people just can't
swallow that. No, what big Food's not real?

Speaker 2 (57:11):
No?

Speaker 3 (57:11):
How come they never caught one? How come they never
killed one? I come one's not in a zoo, the circus,
on the laboratory, you know, the table where he's about
to get all cut up. You know, how come that
don't happen. I could ask that all the time and

(57:33):
I got one answer. They're too smart for that. You'll
never see them do that. I mean, these things can
do a lot more than people can wrap their finger around.
So I don't even want to get into all that.
But uh, yeah, we ain't talking about some dumb animal.
That's all I'll say.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Yeah, that's it's a whole I mean, that's you could
talk for hours on that. Uh uh, squash man, I've
got one more, one more question for you, and so
thankful for the time you're able to spend with us today.
Let's let's pretend you were putting a completely new part
of the US where you'd never been before, and you say, Okay,

(58:16):
I got to figure out where are the places I'm
going to go to try to have an interaction with Bigfoot?
What kind of what kind of things would you look
for or do in order to find these areas? That
would probably be the best.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
Well, from what I'm about to tell you right now,
we'll probably blow your mind. But where where I go,
the forest people are there. I don't know if they're
there already or they follow me there, but everywhere I go. Yeah, yeah,

(58:54):
that's why I want to That's why I want to
end this interview a boy telling you what I can
do now.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Yeah, I raised my hands up. I asked him to
do stuff for me.

Speaker 3 (59:07):
I communicate with him, and a lot of times they
do stuff for me. I would tell you a couple
of quick stories we got a little time love. Yeah,
I give you an example of what I can do
with them. Okay, I was gonna move to Washington, and
I had my dear friends pac Man parent Ormal with me, Ernie,

(59:31):
Denise Pack and our darter, and we were having a
show for a well known personality that hey he's on
coast to coast. Yeah, she does interviews on her every
now and then, very well known personality. And she wanted

(59:54):
to have a show where bickfoot of mes parent Ormal,
see you know what techniques work and my blah blah.
So anyway, I was showing Ernie in the knees. Yeah,
well what I do? Man?

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
How I communicate with him?

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
So I told him I was moving to Washington, and
I really, you know, I'm bummed out, man, I'm sad.
I said, I may not ever be back here again.
I go, can you do something really big so I
will never forget something huge? It'll make this forest come alive,
I mean make it bang. And within seconds seven eight

(01:00:36):
trees got pushed over I mean cracking, banging, I mean
two foot three foot in again of red oak trees
getting snapped in half like little twigs all around us.
And there was a tree hanging over the one way
road we were on, and Ernie's wiped the nice found it,

(01:01:00):
so he said, hey, I found one of the trees.
And they pushed us up out of the root ball
like a bulldozer did it. There was no way in
the heck a man could have did this, and we
were all right there anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
There wasn't no people there. It was just us there
in a dark forest.

Speaker 3 (01:01:18):
And a This is Memorial Day weekend five years ago.
On Monday night, Memorial Day night, there was a spring
shower going by, but it was already passed. There wasn't
no wind or nothing. It was already quit. Raining says. Anyway,
we're looking at this tree that got pushed over by

(01:01:39):
the roots, so we go back up fifty feet away.
I counted it out many times. That's all.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
This happened within feet of us.

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
All of a sudden, that tree is looking across the
road I just told you about, was hung up in
another one right on the other side of the road,
in a branch thirty feet a high, and it wasn't
flat on the road. So all of a sudden you
see that tree going I mean violently shaking. I mean

(01:02:11):
violently shaking like a like a hurricane. And Ernie's like, look, man,
look look at that blab upper and about thirty feet
up there is a big black blob, like Ernie just said,
shaking the heck out of this tree. And then that
one cracks. I mean, I don't know if you ever

(01:02:34):
heard one hundred foot two foot trees cracking, but it's
very very loud, man with a scaring fruit out probably anybody.
And we're just standing in there, man, just loving it.
So they get done with all this, and I told Ernie,
I said, look, dude, I can't believe this, and he goes, Greg,

(01:02:56):
you asked for it, man, you asked for this. So
what I like?

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
Then we thanked them.

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
We clapped, we cheered, and we gave her praise for
such a show of power. So we walk up in
front of the van. There we all went into Ernie's van.
So every now and then the lightning from the passing
a summer storm would light up the area just a bit.

(01:03:23):
So it lit up and I'm looking between these two
trees right there in front of us, and there's five
bigfoot standing there. I'm talking big boys, shoulder to shoulder
to shoulder all the way across a thirty thirty five
foot area. Five of them took out whole space out

(01:03:44):
standing shoulder to shoulder and it was only a flash
and it was gone.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
So I'm like, O M G.

Speaker 3 (01:03:53):
And before I could even say anything, the niece goes,
you won't believe what I just seen.

Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
So I'm like, well, here, man, what did you hear?

Speaker 3 (01:04:01):
Denise?

Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
She just said what I just told you?

Speaker 3 (01:04:05):
So like all man's I slapped her high five, told
her I seen him, Ernie seeing them. So not only
did we get that, we got to see the people
that did it so so I mean, if that gives
you any idea that they do stuff when I asked them.
Another good example, Ernie had a guy come all the

(01:04:27):
way from New York. I'll give you. His first name
was Steven. He wanted a big foot of encounter. He's
never had one in his life. It was just me, Ernie, Denise,
him and one of his buddies from up there. We
were the only ones there. Uh. I asked the Force

(01:04:47):
people of his Father's Day just this year, back in June,
just this year, I asked the Force people. I said, hey, man,
is Father's Day today? And there's one I call Big Red.
He's my buddy. He follows me everywhere. He's got beautiful
red eyes, a glow, and that's what I call him,

(01:05:10):
Big Red. So I asked him if he could do
something special for all the fathers. I said, look, I
know you're dad big Red. I said, do something, big
bars push over a tree if you want, bro So
I wasn't. Thirty seconds later again right on keey you

(01:05:30):
hear it was. And this man is Rot memoirs how
it changed his life that night. And that's just a
few examples of what I do. But I can talk
to him man and they and they do stuff that
I asked him. I asked him to light their eyes up.
I glow. I could go out to the woods any

(01:05:52):
night of the week and they will be out there,
just like he said, any woods Tennessee. In the end,
and they follow me everywhere in the UC. I glow.
They don't always push trees over. That's a big order.
I'm not gonna ask them to push trees over all

(01:06:14):
the time. Occasionally I will, and they do it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:06:19):
Ask them for a tree nock. They'll give me a
tree nck. But when it's all said and done, like
these see women from Tennessee told me just a couple
of weeks ago, just remember squatch man, nobody can do
what you can do. And I have hundreds of witnesses
that have seen this. You know, it's just ain't me

(01:06:42):
speaking this is I got so many witnesses that they've
seen me do this. So, I mean, there's not too
many people like me who can talk to the forest
people and get them to do stuff. And that's gonna
be uh, you know, when I'm dead and gone, people
will probably remember me for that the most. You know

(01:07:04):
that my relationship with them, my encounters, but mainly the
respect and the love we have for each other.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
And it goes far. Man, that goes far. So.

Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
So, I mean I feel like I'm a very lucky
man and a very blessed man with what I got
going on with the forced people.

A hundred percent, thank you so much for coming on
squatch Man. Before we wrap this episode, I want to
say something directly to a very specific group of listeners.
If you're in the military, any branch or forces, and
if you've seen something that no one can explain, or
if you're a National Park ranger or forestryt worker who's

(01:09:41):
been told to stay quiet, if you're a pilot who's
seen something strange down on the ground, or if you're
with the FBI a federal agency, or working intelligence and
you stumbled upon something you're not allowed to talk about.
And if you're a firefighter, paramedic, or search and rescue
responder who's heard screams or found tracks that didn't make sense.

(01:10:02):
If you're in the logging industry on a remote oil field,
or a trucker with government contracts and you've had something
happen that you've never told a soul. And if you're
a biologist, a wildlife specialist, or a field researcher under
contract who has found evidence you're not allowed to report.
If you're a pastor, a missionary, or someone on a

(01:10:23):
spiritual retreat and you saw something that shook your faith,
or if you work in the shadows, CIA, NSA, or
anything with clearance and you've seen what the public hasn't,
then I want to talk to you, even if it's anonymous.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
