Speaker 1 (00:17):
Hello, my paranormal peeps, and welcome back to another Deep
Woods Paranormal podcast. My name is Matt Harvey. I am
the founder and lead vestigetter with Dee Woods Paranormal. I
am also the host of the deep Woods Paranormal Podcast.
So today we're gonna be talking about several different things.
We're gonna get back into bigfoot, because that's everybod everybody
seems to like to talk to me to talk about.
(00:37):
We've had some amazing guests on and I want to
thank all those people for coming on and talking about
you know, aliens and ghosts and their activity that they've
experienced and stuff like that at the locations they've been to.
But I really want to get back into bigfoot because
that's something I really enjoy and stuff like that. I
live with ghosts, you know, variance goes almost daily, so anyways,
(01:04):
in paranormal activity. So we're going to talk about big
footing in general. A lot of you know, kind of
the way I do. I approach bigfooting when I go out.
I know a lot of people do things a lot
of different ways, and I've seen a lot of people
just you know, basically take off into the forest, go
looking for bigfoot and never have any experiences. And I
(01:27):
want to talk about the way I kind of do
bigfoot research and now I take a little bit different
approach and a lot of people don't really like it,
but drives, I know, drives Amanda crazy because she just
wants to go. But we're going to talk about some
upcoming bigfoot research locations, and then we're going to talk
about what happened with the Fort Worth Monster investigation, what
(01:50):
happened with my ankle, and we'll talk about the stealthy
creatures that are out there that may or not be
may or may not be a Bigfoot or an alien
or who knows what they are. We'll talk We'll get
into that in a second here. So all right, so
let's talk about bigfooting in general. When I head out
to the forest, what I do is I essentially I
(02:13):
tell everybody slow down. Essentially slow down and take it,
take your time. Basically, when I get out of the vehicle,
I don't want to go racing into the forest unless
we're basically having a hike into an area. So a
lot of the time that happens, you have to go
walk into an area a mile in two miles and
(02:36):
sometimes it's you know, a couple of feet, sometimes it's
thirty forty feet, you know, stuff like that. But when
I do differently, and I always tell everybody, you got
to slow down, bear with me, and my lighting has changed.
There we go. Now you guys can't see me. So
and again this rids a mana crazy. And I tell
everybody this, when you get out of the vehicle, slow down,
(02:59):
slow down, take a breath, take your time. You know,
I have the ghost hunting analogy that I always tell everybody.
And if I was come into your living room and
you didn't know who I was and I had never
been there before, and you know, I start asking all
these questions and whatever else and rambling on, and you're like,
who is this guy? What does he want? Why is
(03:21):
he in my living room? In your dead of course
you're in your you know you're a ghost. And I
know I have skeptics and stuff like that on this channel,
non believers, but you know, it's it's the same thing
with Bigfoot. When I get out of the vehicle, I'm
going to take a slow approach. And here's why. Let
me explain to you this. So let's say I'm gonna
put you in this situation. I pull up to your
(03:43):
your driveway or your apartment or wherever you live. I
pull up right and I'm walking up either front pathway.
I'm stepping off onto your lawn or you know, onto
your driveway or whatever. I am approaching your door. And
you're going, okay, I'm not expecting anybody. Is this a
delivery guy? Do I have something being delivered? Is there
(04:07):
something else going on that I didn't remember what was
happening that I have an appointment? As this a neighbor?
Who is this guy? And I'm walking up to the door,
and I'm walking extremely aggressively, walking quickly, and I'm walking
up there in a banging on your door and or
ringing your doorbell, and I'm standing there nervously back and
kind of leaning back and forth waiting for you to
(04:28):
come to the door. You're gonna go, hold on here,
what is going on here? You might be looking out
the front window, or you might be looking out the
window and the door, or you might be looking out
your little looking glass. And at that point you're like, okay,
I'm not answering the door. I don't know who this is.
I think I locked the front door right, So, and
(04:51):
you might kind of go back into a room in
the back, maybe into a bedroom or into your living
room and be like, nope, not answering that. How is
that different with bigfoot? Imagine they have a territory if
you will, and I do believe that they migrate, so
they may not be in this territory at all times.
But they are creatures. I have it in my experience,
(05:13):
they follow the same They go through the same area
as they go through, and they they like to have
their areas like we do. Now. If I go and
I set up a room or whatever, I'm gonna I'm
gonna frequent that area, you know, and it's an area.
Maybe it's a hunting location. Maybe it's a place so
you know, I can get water. Maybe it's a place
(05:34):
I can get in cool off. Maybe it's like a
lake or a river or something. Maybe I can find
a food source there. Maybe it's a place there's wild berries,
or maybe I can eat some of the tree leaves
or I can eat something from that area. But going
back to the analogy, so I can walk in into
the forest. You know, again, this is pretend like this
(05:56):
is your your your house, your your lawn, you're your
front area, or you're, you know, walking down your hallway
of your apartment and you're looking like, who is this guy?
You're you're standing out there and I come up and
bang on the door. It's kind of similar with bigfoot.
If I have a very aggressive manners excuse me, a mannerism,
(06:18):
you're gonna react like, okay, I'm You're gonna be scared,
or you're gonna act aggressively to protect yourself, or you're
gonna basically run and hide. You're gonna make sure that
door's locked. Maybe put something in front of the door. Right,
So let's just say there is a bigfoot in that area.
Number one, you're probably walking past evidence, maybe footprints. Maybe
(06:41):
there's some tree structures or tree bends, or some blinds.
Maybe there's a tree knock, Maybe there's a screen, Maybe
there's a a whoop. Maybe there's some kind of another noise,
some kind of bird noise or something. But it doesn't
sound right to you, and you're going, Okay, what the heck? Well,
(07:05):
that just could be them basic saying hey, there's somebody coming.
I believe that bigfoots most of the time, not all
the time, but most of the time live in family groups,
and so the young ones are usually out there watching
to make sure that you know, the juveniles, the shorter ones,
the six to fourteen footers or ten footers or whatever
you want to say, they're out there watching to make
(07:27):
sure if somebody comes walking into the middle of them
hunting or maybe they're they're betting down for the night,
or maybe they're they're just getting up, or maybe they're eating,
or maybe they're just relaxing, maybe they're trying to play
a hunt. Who knows what they do that basically, they
can alerk the others, right. They don't want somebody just
(07:49):
walking in randomly and seeing them. They're seeing somebody walking
up to my door. So I'm in the front room,
I can see out the window. Anyways, Essentially, that's kind
of how Bigfoot reacts too. They see exactly what I
(08:10):
was just talking about. Somebody walked up to my door
and they're walking quickly. I looked to see what was
going on, and then they're walking and watching them walk away. Okay,
I feel better because I know the threat is over.
He's leaving, right, So that put me on guard. So
imagine the Bigfoot anyways. Uh So, yeah, when I got
out of the vehicle. I tell people in it, like
I said, it drives the minute crazy. I think I've
(08:31):
said this her four times. Slow down, calm your posture,
take your time, get your gear, Because if I'm throwing
a gun over my shoulder, or I'm looking aggressive, I'm
I'm I'm packing a knife, or I'm capping, you know,
putting my my weapon in my holster or whatever, it
(08:54):
could possibly alert them to hey, that's dangerous, right if
they know what the things are or they've seen them
mountain hunters out doing what they do, and it could
also spark an aggression out of them. So if I
go walking, you know, at this point, I'm probably not
(09:14):
a threat if I'm out away from where they're at,
But when I start walking quickly towards them, they're you know.
And I'm saying this in a in a way that
you know they're actually there. So take this with a
grain of salts. I know a lot of people are
on here, are skeptical or on the fence or non believers.
And I know we have believers and knowers and everything
else too, but this channel we kind of try and
(09:36):
stay in the middle for everybody. Okay, And this is
not a one side or the other. We we like
to have kind of you know, we walk the middle
of the line, if you will. I look at it
both ways. I look at skeptical way, and I look
at it and believe a way. So in a lot
of this is based off my experiences too. I've got
a lot of experiences with these things. I've had numerous,
(09:59):
numerous encounters. I mean, like forty fifteen counters or more
in my lifetime than I know of. So you go
walking down there with weapon or whatever, and now all
of a sudden, these things are watching you, going, uh,
what's going on here? You know, what's this guy's intent?
And he's walking quickly. Now I'm on edge. Now I'm thinking, okay,
(10:20):
I might have to protect myself. I'm gonna hide, I'm
not gonna show myself. I'm not gonna make my presence known.
All that stuff. It's all kind of points to signs
of aggression. Right. But if I, like I said, if
I slow down, I grab my backpack and I've already
secured whatever I'm taking into the forest, you know, on
my side or whatever, hitting it in a pocket or
(10:42):
making sure that it's not seen. And I'm kind of
stopping and looking around, and if it's an area. Again,
there's areas where you have to actually walk into the
forest before you can start looking around. But if I'm
walking slowly and taking my time, keep my head up,
letting my five senses go. I'm looking, I'm listening, I'm hearing,
(11:05):
I'm smelling, I'm feeling, I'm doing all those things. I'm
trying to let my senses kind of just relax and
kind of just start to focus in on what's going
on around me, because a lot of people miss things.
You might hear. You might not hear that tree distant
tree nock. You might not hear that's distant scream. You
might not hear that weird bird sound. You might not
(11:27):
hear something walking away. You might miss those footprints, you
might miss that tree structure, you might miss that blind
you might miss those twigs where you know. You might
be walking down the path and go, wait, I just
missed you just miss that hair sample. You gotta slow down,
You've got to slow down. You gotta take your time
kind of look around. Now. I don't mean like you
(11:49):
stop every two seconds and look around, but as you're
walking down, walk slow, take your time, walk into that
area and really kind of absorb it, really take your
time and really kind of pay attention to what's going
around you let your senses kind of open up. The
forest is completely different than you know in the city.
(12:12):
When you're walking through the city. Yeah, you're walking faster,
you have an intent to get somewhere, you're doing whatever,
and a lot of people have that mindset when they
get somewhere, they just want to get to where they're going.
In the forest, you got to slow down. Because what
happens when you see a deer or an animal or
snake or whatever. What do they do? What's the first
thing they do when you see them. Usually they stop
(12:33):
in the shock and they're like you can just see
them go, oh, they get they get alert. They're like,
oh okay, danger, danger, and they'll run right. But if
you're going slow and you kind of stop and just
let them calm down and let them kind of observe
you a little bit, they'll kind of calm down. Sometimes
they'll kind of just sit there and look at you,
(12:55):
go okay, well, you know, he's just there, and then
you can kind of watch and see what they do.
Maybe they'll walk off, maybe they won't run the walk
and you can hear them walking away and then you
know whatever. But you got to remember that the deer
and other things are their prey. And so if you
find deer in an area, or you find tracks of deers,
(13:15):
then you might have an you know, good good location.
You also have to find maybe a water source or
a water no source nearby. You know. Of course, hold
reports help or new reports as well. Sightings help as well.
Speaking of sightings and reports, if you guys you know,
feel free to comment down below. I know we don't
(13:37):
get a lot of comments, but if you've had a
bigfoot sighting somewhere, you've had you know you you've found footprints,
you've heard something you just don't can't explain, and it
doesn't have to be just big fight. It could be
any any paranormal subject. Feel free to common down below.
You have a story you want to share. We've got
a lot of viewers now our listeners onto our podcast recently,
(14:02):
and we really love hearing your stories. This is what
this channel is about. It's basically about people getting to
share their stories. It started out with me sharing my stories,
but we really want to give you guys the opportunity
to come out and tell your stories, you know, if
you have three or four good ghost stories or whatever,
(14:22):
we love to hear them and we'd love to talk
to you about them and how you share your experiences. Also,
we have a lot of new viewers, a lot of
new listeners from all over the place. We're constantly getting
new notifications that we're on in you know, these podcasts
from other countries, which just blows my mind. To be
honest with you, I've never thought that when we started
(14:45):
we would be getting listeners from Germany, England, Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, Russia, Taiwan, Ireland,
you know, and all these countries in between. Paris. You know,
this is crazy, and all of course across the United States,
South America, North America. I had no idea that that
(15:08):
would ever happen. Also, YouTube is now going to be
translating into other languages automatically, So if you're listening from
another country and you've never been able to kind of listen,
you know, on our audio podcast it doesn't translate for you.
You can go over to our YouTube channel and the
podcast should translate into your language, which I'm a little
super excited about. So it gives us an opportunity to
(15:30):
get more listeners as well. So if you haven't already,
please give us a subscribe alike and follow hit that
notification ball really helps us to continue to grower channel.
I know that we're being held back for some reason.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with the alien
stuff we always talk about. They don't like so much.
It seems like those videos always get held back a lot.
(15:52):
So anyways, okay, so let's keep going upcoming locations. So
we've got we're gonna kind of go back to some
of our locations that we've shot before, and the reason
being the technology we had at that point. The cameras
we had at that point just weren't sufficient to really
document what we are experiencing. We've upgraded. We continually we're
(16:16):
always upgrading gear. But now we've got some other cool stuff.
We've got a blind, we've got a deer uh, you know,
basically a deer decoy that we can use, uh. And
then we've got a camera now that has the ability
to see in complete darkness, which we've never had before.
(16:38):
If you've ever been to the forest here in Texas,
then you get out of these out of these towns.
It's freaking pitch black. You can't see your hand in
from the airporth face. I don't know how many times
I tripped and whatever else in that Joe's camp because
I couldn't see where I was going. You couldn't see
your hand in front of your face. God, if I
had the camera I had now back in the day,
(17:01):
we would have documented so many more bigfoots. I mean,
we could have caught them on camera so much easier.
And now, because you know, we're always constantly talking to
different people and meeting new people, and we actually have
talked to several people that you know, work on shows
and stuff like that, the Bigfoot shows and other shows.
(17:23):
You know. We were we were when we run the
Californi Ghot Ounters. We had a lot of connections up
in Hollywood and stuff, and we never were able to
put a show together because our show would have been
too much like ghost Hunters at that point in time.
But essentially, yeah, they told us, hey, you know we
use these while we're out in the field, out in
(17:44):
the forest and you can't see her hand in front
of your face. I'm like, what, I didn't even know
those He's like, yeah, you gotta get one of these.
And I'm like, what, And if you've watched our YouTube videos,
you've seen well, actually, yeah, you've seen how dark it is.
But I did a short i think, on in our
back forest area over there, facing our back forest area,
(18:05):
and that's probably almost it's probably seventy eighty yards. It's
over almost almost thre hundred feet to the forest from
our back porch. And I turned the camera on, which
is also a little light camera, which is amazing, by
the way, it's oh my gosh, the technology, the quality
is just so much higher. And then basically having an
(18:28):
ire flashlights. Now I did it with one and I
could see clearly the trees back there, and now I've
done it with I've got two more. So we've got three.
I've got to figure out a rig for it. But
we're gonna be able to see so much further, so
so much further things that were dark before, where it
(18:50):
was just you know, you see a silhouette or shadow
or something that they won't people hide, they'll be spotlighted.
I mean even when we were shining stuff, you know,
turning the camera and looking at what we're seeing, you know,
ten fifteen feet away from us before where you couldn't
make out what that was. Now we're gonna turn the tables.
(19:13):
I am so excited about this. So yeah, we're gonna
be using IR flashlights in addition to our cameras, which
should be it should just make it look just like
it's almost like day out, and these things, the clarification
and whatever's out there really won't be able to hide
very well with this camera system we have now, so
(19:36):
I'd like to get another one, but we just haven't
been able to. You know, if you guys want to
buys a coffee, and I've talked about that a long time,
you know, you're welcome and can send a little donation over.
It helps us to buy new care and stuff. But
we also have gone and got some stealth audio recorders
that only record sounds or voices, and so we're gonna
(19:59):
be trying those out in the forest as well, leaving
those for two or three days. You know, we always
left trap cams that Joe's camera up at Joe's camp
for days and days and days sometimes months on end,
but they don't have any sounds, so essentially you couldn't
hear you couldn't hear what was going on. You could
(20:21):
always visually see through pictures and or video, and so
this will be a game changer. You know, are there
is there something walking through? Can you actually hear the
brush snapping? Will be Were there any house? Were there
any whoops? Were there any any noises that you know,
tree knos that we could basically associate back to bigfoot
(20:44):
and stuff like that, And then we can also go
through and take those noises. And we have, like I said,
we have a lot of friends that are you know,
very very familiar with the forest and they're very familiar
with the noises from the forest. And if we can
stump those people with those noises and they can't tell
you exactly what that is, and then we've got something.
(21:05):
So again, technology, the upgrade in technology will help us
to be able to do much better documentation of these
locations that we've been to before. I'm excited to go
back to bass Drop because Bastrop is one of those
places where I've had a sighting of a juvenile bigfoot.
(21:27):
You know, I'm six foot two, about three hundred pounds,
and these things are about the same heighth and with
and probably it's about the same weight as me. Tall skinny, lanky,
you know, not the normal bigfoots that you would see.
They're juveniles, and you know we've documented them during the
day and the night there. You know, I was walking
(21:50):
down there one night or one afternoon. That was the
last time I ever went there. This is probably a
year or so ago, where I had just been raining
so hard for some about three or four hours, and
it was just raining two or three inches per hour,
and the Colorado River, which overflows the bank, overflowed, ever
overflowed its bank. Excuse me. It essentially basically caused the
(22:18):
mud and everything to be super thick. It basically push
put a bunch of silts and mud and stuff over
the trails and stuff like that. So all the normal
the brie and stuff that was up there, the leaves
and all that stuff had washed out. One of the
very first things I found the last time I went
there was this huge tree had fallen over. Actually it
(22:39):
was kind of a strange situation because it literally had
fallen over onto the concrete path that was walking down
So they had closed it because of the rain. But
I got there right after that, so I was able
to get sneaked down there, and it had not only
fallen across the where the steps were, the concrete steps.
It'd fallen across's where the path was too, so it
(23:02):
was blocking the path and light bulb went off on
my head, and I'm like, oh, you know what. That
reminds me of when I was walking at Joe's camp
and you'd walk through an area and you turn around.
There'd be no noise, but there was a log pulled
across the trail, or there was a tree branch pulled
across the trail, or vines or something else. They had
(23:22):
made a cross, made a cross with two sticks to
small diameter tree trunks, and they would try and block
the path and we never touched that. You know, I said, Okay,
you know what, you blocked it. So we went around,
but there was clear paths where they were moving through.
Game was moving through. No idea, but I believe big
(23:44):
thought as well. So I definitely want to go back
to bass Drop. We've had an experience. I've had it
inciting every time i've been there. Oh, let me get
back into this last portion because and there's a video
of this, you can actually see a bigfoot on the video.
I believe really quick. So essentially, as as I walked
down in there in this mucky mud, and it's about
(24:05):
an inch stick. I'm walking through the mud and walking, walking,
walking up the trail, and all of a sudden I found,
you know, kind of a puddle, and then there was
some pretty thick mud twothre inches stick, and I stepped
in and I'm like, oh no, I'm not going any
further than this, and I found these prints. I looked down.
(24:26):
I'm like, oh my gosh, somebody you know, I don't
think anybody walking walking through there with bare feet. I'm
pretty sure, because if Prince walked off off the trail
over a bunch of brush, through a bunch of brush,
and then off over to where it slopes down where
Bastrop is, the road's up high and then it slopes down,
(24:48):
then levels off and then goes over about twenty thirty
feet and then drops back down to the river. So
essentially it had basically stepped in the mud bias. And
I'm sure maybe I heard coming and was panicking, because
it was still there when I got there. Literally, i'd
taken four or five steps through the mud. The thick mud,
it got thicker as you went into the brush, and
(25:11):
left these prints and it was able to document it.
And as I was looking at the prints, I looked
up and I just saw something move. And this thing
was again my shape, my size, but covered with hair.
And it wasn't brown, it wasn't red, it wasn't blonde,
it wasn't black. It looked like it was muddy, like
it had fallen in the mud, and also had a
(25:34):
bunch of I don't know, I guess it it was
moss or tree leaves or something on it, like i'd
walk through an area where I gotten stickers or something
like that. So anyways, it was standing there and it
was camou until it moved. I didn't see it. I
thought it was just a tree. And then of course
it moved, and I'm like, oh, I turned the camera
and I think I caught it. But again, this is
(25:56):
during the day, which we don't really investigate but that
much during day unless we're out scouting locations. So it
basically turned and went back in behind some brush, and
I couldn't fall I couldn't follow it because if the
mud was just so thick, it was about a foot
thick there. I'm sure it was up to its about
its shins and mud and I'm like, no, not walking
(26:19):
through that not worth it. But yeah, I ended up
walking down a little further to trying to see if
I coul follow it on the path and it got
a little drier, little weather here and there and then,
but yeah, so yeah, I mean I've had experiences down
there with juveniles every time I've been in that area.
So that's a cool place. You can actually camp down there.
We do have a campers. We may go down there
(26:39):
and camp one or two nights with a man down
the dogs. I would like to go through and do
some other types of stuff down there, maybe some more
day research as well. You can actually when the river's low,
you can actually go across the river and go up
to the side which I think is not public, and
then above where the river runs, there's a lake up
(27:01):
up the road, not very far, maybe a half a
mile up the road from where we do the research.
And I'm thinking myself, Okay, this must be a pupping ground.
There's deer everywhere there by the way, There's hundreds of
deer everywhere in basket Roll. It's a terrible place to
try because of the damn deer everywhere, especially at night.
There's a golf course there, and the deer all over
(27:21):
the golf course at night, there's hundreds of them. I
mean literally, I could. I could basically go hide in
the bush and wait and wait and wait and reach
out and probably grab one by the neck and pull
it in to a trt, you know, to a brush.
The area and the deer we have no idea I'm there. So,
I mean these big foot have they have a water source,
they have hiding place, and they have tons of food.
(27:43):
And then if you go up there's a camping area,
an RV camping site up also up a little higher
from the river, and there's a lake there and that's
an area I want to check out too. If you've
ever been to the Bass Drop campgrounds, you know, feel
free comment down below. Did you have an experience, what
you know, did you hear anything, do you see anything,
(28:05):
did you find any prints? Did you find any here samples?
Did you find anything? Let me know. I'd love to
hear your experiences and stuff like that, So again, feel
free to comment down below. You know, also tell us
where you're from. I would be interested because, like I said,
where we have viewers and listeners now from everywhere around
(28:26):
the world, and it's just so fascinating to have had
that happen. I feel so lucky and so humbled by
all of you new listeners and viewers. Again, if you could,

(28:47):
interview or me just me talking. Also again, if you

don't feel don't feel comfortable comping down below. My cell
number is actually down there. Our Facebook page is like
(29:09):
linked down there, so you can go in there and
you can message just through Facebook if you want. We've
had a lot of few people do that. We've had
some people from England asked us to come on their
podcast and that was awesome. And once again on our
Facebook page if you want to go listen to that.
It's about a two hour interview which I had a
lot of fun. On some other locations I want to
(29:32):
go investigate. I definitely want to get back to the
Sam Houston National Forest. I have plans for that cemetery.
We will also be going through that video from the
cemetery where I was kind of breaking it down on
one of the podcasts recently and I'm like, oh, there's
a big foot there and I didn't even know it
(29:54):
was standing like right in front of me. It was
literally standing there watching me walk. Part. I just found
a print. It was a fresh print. I looked up.
I had no idea what's eve was standing there. I
got that on a GoPro. So anyways, I'll be bringing
that down. It's it's more of a visual thing, so
it won't be part of our podcast. But if you're
on a YouTube channel or a Rumble channel, you can
(30:16):
go there again. If you'll give us a like subscribe
and give us a thumbs up for the videos. I
appreciate that. It really helps us. So yeah, I mean
we'll be we'll be breaking it down on those two
channels and stuff like that. So the same Houston National Forest.
I've got friends that are hunters over there, and they
(30:36):
they there's two locations I really want to hit where
I found there's a lot of activity where maybe they're
migrating through. I don't know when we're going to go
back out into the forest. I think it's gonna probably
be in a month or two. I just wanted to
make sure my ankle's one hundred percent before I go
walking back out there, and then you know, snap it again.
And then also we'll be going back up into the
(30:58):
Sabine National Forest, Amanda. If you're listening to the podcast,
which I hope you are, or you're watching this video.
For some reason, I can't seem to email you, if
you can do me a favor and just call me
my numbers down below or text me. I don't know
what's going on between that. I don't know if you
guys still own that property I chose old property or what,
(31:19):
But feel free to contact me. I'd love to continue
our conversation and see if we can get out and
meet you and stuff like that. So I'll be going
back out there here in a nice a month or two.
I'd love to get back out to that area. At least.
There's a lot of places Joe showed us up in
the Sabine National Forest where we could possibly have a
(31:40):
big foot encounter. That area is very very there's a
lot of reports that's on the Texas Louisiana border and
there's a lot of reports out there. Speaking of reports,
if you guys want to make our report, you're feel
free again to contact us through our socials or through
my cell phone you know, call it, text me whatever
you want to do. Early comment down below and uh
(32:02):
you know our message me. We would love to talk
to you about locations you think we should go to.
We are still working on Exploring Unknown with Matt and Amanda.
We've just been taking a break because of other things
in our life. Things keep changing rapidly him we're just
kind of having to put the paring them on the
back back burner for a little bit here. We've been
(32:27):
doing a lot of private investigations lately, trying to help
a lot of people. There's been a lot of weird
activity going on in people's homes, so that's what we've
been up to. It's been a little more time consuming
than I thought it would be, and it's taken away
from the opportunity for us to shoot videos out of
the locations. So anyways, last location, the Fort Worth Monster.
(32:50):
If you guys actively or have researched to the Fort
Worth Monster, I would love to have you come on
the podcast and talk about it. When we're up there.
I rolled ankle severely. Thank god, it didn't snap. I
just rolled something unseen tried to do it to me twice.
It wasn't. We were fine until the gentleman I was
(33:12):
with got a little bit ahead of me, and essentially
I was walking and I found a print and then
I heard a tree knock on, really loud tree knock,
and then I turned and looked and something literally grabbed
my backpack and tried basically spined me down, spinn me
and I landed on the on the ground, and I
(33:34):
had no idea what had happened. I grabbed me my
backpack and literally tried to spin me around, and that
time I caught my foot just a little bit, which
irritated my ankle and an old ankle ankle, an old
ankle injury I got when I was a bit. Joe's
if you haven't heard me talking about that when I
was something he told me. Joe told me, don't go
(33:55):
out there at night. You know, of course, when you're
looking through a little view finder that's one by one
and it's pitch black. A lot of locations you go
out to it's pitch black. Skin you're thinking, essentially you
can't see your hand in front of your face out there,
and you're looking for this little viewfinder and you step
(34:16):
in a damn home and camp was you know between
you know, all the leaf ball and all the dead
poliage underneath was sand. Well, he had a lot of
sandy soil, and you know, I'm pretty sure that's why
he had all the natural springs coming up. But anyways,
you step in those holes and you can lean one
(34:39):
way the other I don't, it'll pull you that way.
You can't get your foot out of the hole, which
is what happened to me. I basically put my stepped
in the hole, and then my whole body shifted to
the left and I kind of went to the left.
I didn't fall, thank god I had. I caught myself,
pulled myself out, but I pretty severely sprained my ankle
at that point in time. And and so the second
(35:01):
time this happened up in Fort Worth, we were walking back.
He was way ahead of me and I was trying
to trying to find my way through the forest. I
should have I was not prepared for what we were doing.
I should have been carrying a lot different gear and
stuff like that. My fault. But yeah, we were walking
through And when I walked through the forest, like I said,
(35:22):
I go slow. I'm constantly looking for things, watching, looking
to see if I can see anything, hear anything, fine
hair samples, tree structures which we found, which that video
will never see a lot of day unfortunately for you guys.
But yeah, we were starting to find some I was
starting to find some evidence. I'm like trying to explain
it to him, and he's so far ahead of me.
(35:43):
He was dead set on getting to a location where
he thought they were betting down and so essentially that's
all he had on his mind. I couldn't. I couldn't.
I couldn't communicate with him what I was trying to do,
and he didn't nothing. He didn't understand. We were just
on completely different pages. Anyways, So who he is walking
(36:03):
back and he had already gotten back to the boat,
and I'm walking back and I kept getting grabbed by mines.
I swear when I say the forest comes alive, I
really mean they really like reach out almost like little
shop of horrors and literally wrap around you as you're walking.
It's the craziest thing. So essentially something I basically again
(36:26):
stepped almost in a very shallow hole. The dirt was
kind of sandy. We were walking on a sand berm,
a little island area. Stepped on a sandburm, foot went
in and of course there's a root there, and my
toes went underneath it and something literally grabbed me again
by the backpack. This time I reached up with both hands.
(36:47):
I grabbed onto one tree in the one side, one
train and the other and the one tree in the
right side was only probably two or three inch diamond
or trunk, and literally this thing starts yanking me to
the left, almost ripped my backpack off over my head,
pulling me down, and essentially I snapped that tree, the
(37:08):
tree in half and fell over and my foot was flat.
My foot was flat on the ground, but yeah, my
whole body was laying on the ground next to so
my foot was. My ankle had been severely bent. Nothing snapped,
thank god, but the pain I just felt. I could
feel the compressed, compressed, compressed, compress. I'm like, oh, no,
(37:31):
I had boots on, I had heavy duty walking boots
on and it's still bent me over. I think the
boots are one of the things saved me from not
completely breaking my ankle. I don't know. Maybe I did
break my ankle out no idea. I did get it
looked at, but I never followed upon it, so my bad. Anyways,
(37:54):
So we made it back to the boat, and then
my ancles just hasn't been the same that was back
in January. So let's been what eight plus almost nine
months now since that happened, and my ankle is just
taking a long time to heal. But everybody talks about
cloaking bigfoots and bigfoots going through portals and all that stuff,
(38:16):
and I'm not gonna say that isn't true. I've never
experienced it. And I know for a fact because I've
seen what looks like these invisible figures that you don't
see them until they freaking move. And they're not bigfoot
shaped or size. They're like our size. It's almost like
they're a human. Maybe there's some kind of soldier or
(38:38):
something that's out in the woods. I don't know. Maybe
it's a ghost, maybe it's some kind of alien. I
have no idea what it is, but literally they look
like they basically can blend. I mean, they look like
they're a mirror. Just imagine a flatten mirror. Like Predator
without all the extra mirrors on top, just a flat mirror,
and you don't see them until they move, just clear
(39:00):
almost almost like you can almost see through them. They've
been the light around them, and then they move and
you're like, what the hell is that? And these are
not bigfoots what I've seen it. From what I've seen,
they're not bigfoots. But yet they're unseen. They don't make
any noise, they're unseen, you know. I mean, I don't
know if you guys have experienced this either, but if
(39:22):
you have, I'd love to talk to you about it,
either in private or you know, I'd love to hear
more about it on the podcast. Let me know what
you know, what have your been, what have you experienced
out in the forest you know, or or whatever. And
if there's locations that you think we should be checking out,
you know, message me leave a comment down below. I
(39:45):
do you read every single comment? Do you try and
give everybody some feedback of my own? Always positive and
stuff like that, And then maybe you can come on
and be a guest, or maybe you can just you know,
we can just talk about it and maybe we can
meet up with you at your location. We were doing
that with a few people and then all of a sudden,
everything and just like I said, stopped. We've had quite
(40:07):
a bit of stuff going on, so anyways, but yeah again, guys,
if you'll do me a favor, if you're still listening
at this point or watching, give me a favorite, hit
the like button, you know, subscribe and we'll leave a
comment down below. Tell us where you're listening from, because
I would love to hear where people are calling watching
(40:27):
us from and stuff like that. So all right, guys,
this is getting a little long. I appreciate your time,
and we will catch you on the next one.
Hello, my paranormal peeps, and welcome back to another Deep
Woods Paranormal podcast. My name is Matt Harvey. I am
the founder and lead vestigetter with Dee Woods Paranormal. I
am also the host of the deep Woods Paranormal Podcast.
So today we're gonna be talking about several different things.
We're gonna get back into bigfoot, because that's everybod everybody
seems to like to talk to me to talk about.
(00:37):
We've had some amazing guests on and I want to
thank all those people for coming on and talking about
you know, aliens and ghosts and their activity that they've
experienced and stuff like that at the locations they've been to.
But I really want to get back into bigfoot because
that's something I really enjoy and stuff like that. I
live with ghosts, you know, variance goes almost daily, so anyways,
(01:04):
in paranormal activity. So we're going to talk about big
footing in general. A lot of you know, kind of
the way I do. I approach bigfooting when I go out.
I know a lot of people do things a lot
of different ways, and I've seen a lot of people
just you know, basically take off into the forest, go
looking for bigfoot and never have any experiences. And I
(01:27):
want to talk about the way I kind of do
bigfoot research and now I take a little bit different
approach and a lot of people don't really like it,
but drives, I know, drives Amanda crazy because she just
wants to go. But we're going to talk about some
upcoming bigfoot research locations, and then we're going to talk
about what happened with the Fort Worth Monster investigation, what
(01:50):
happened with my ankle, and we'll talk about the stealthy
creatures that are out there that may or not be
may or may not be a Bigfoot or an alien
or who knows what they are. We'll talk We'll get
into that in a second here. So all right, so
let's talk about bigfooting in general. When I head out
to the forest, what I do is I essentially I
(02:13):
tell everybody slow down. Essentially slow down and take it,
take your time. Basically, when I get out of the vehicle,
I don't want to go racing into the forest unless
we're basically having a hike into an area. So a
lot of the time that happens, you have to go
walk into an area a mile in two miles and
(02:36):
sometimes it's you know, a couple of feet, sometimes it's
thirty forty feet, you know, stuff like that. But when
I do differently, and I always tell everybody, you got
to slow down, bear with me, and my lighting has changed.
There we go. Now you guys can't see me. So
and again this rids a mana crazy. And I tell
everybody this, when you get out of the vehicle, slow down,
(02:59):
slow down, take a breath, take your time. You know,
I have the ghost hunting analogy that I always tell everybody.
And if I was come into your living room and
you didn't know who I was and I had never
been there before, and you know, I start asking all
these questions and whatever else and rambling on, and you're like,
who is this guy? What does he want? Why is
(03:21):
he in my living room? In your dead of course
you're in your you know you're a ghost. And I
know I have skeptics and stuff like that on this channel,
non believers, but you know, it's it's the same thing
with Bigfoot. When I get out of the vehicle, I'm
going to take a slow approach. And here's why. Let
me explain to you this. So let's say I'm gonna
put you in this situation. I pull up to your
(03:43):
your driveway or your apartment or wherever you live. I
pull up right and I'm walking up either front pathway.
I'm stepping off onto your lawn or you know, onto
your driveway or whatever. I am approaching your door. And
you're going, okay, I'm not expecting anybody. Is this a
delivery guy? Do I have something being delivered? Is there
(04:07):
something else going on that I didn't remember what was
happening that I have an appointment? As this a neighbor?
Who is this guy? And I'm walking up to the door,
and I'm walking extremely aggressively, walking quickly, and I'm walking
up there in a banging on your door and or
ringing your doorbell, and I'm standing there nervously back and
kind of leaning back and forth waiting for you to
(04:28):
come to the door. You're gonna go, hold on here,
what is going on here? You might be looking out
the front window, or you might be looking out the
window and the door, or you might be looking out
your little looking glass. And at that point you're like, okay,
I'm not answering the door. I don't know who this is.
I think I locked the front door right, So, and
(04:51):
you might kind of go back into a room in
the back, maybe into a bedroom or into your living
room and be like, nope, not answering that. How is
that different with bigfoot? Imagine they have a territory if
you will, and I do believe that they migrate, so
they may not be in this territory at all times.
But they are creatures. I have it in my experience,
(05:13):
they follow the same They go through the same area
as they go through, and they they like to have
their areas like we do. Now. If I go and
I set up a room or whatever, I'm gonna I'm
gonna frequent that area, you know, and it's an area.
Maybe it's a hunting location. Maybe it's a place so
you know, I can get water. Maybe it's a place
(05:34):
I can get in cool off. Maybe it's like a
lake or a river or something. Maybe I can find
a food source there. Maybe it's a place there's wild berries,
or maybe I can eat some of the tree leaves
or I can eat something from that area. But going
back to the analogy, so I can walk in into
the forest. You know, again, this is pretend like this
(05:56):
is your your your house, your your lawn, you're your
front area, or you're, you know, walking down your hallway
of your apartment and you're looking like, who is this guy?
You're you're standing out there and I come up and
bang on the door. It's kind of similar with bigfoot.
If I have a very aggressive manners excuse me, a mannerism,
(06:18):
you're gonna react like, okay, I'm You're gonna be scared,
or you're gonna act aggressively to protect yourself, or you're
gonna basically run and hide. You're gonna make sure that
door's locked. Maybe put something in front of the door. Right,
So let's just say there is a bigfoot in that area.
Number one, you're probably walking past evidence, maybe footprints. Maybe
(06:41):
there's some tree structures or tree bends, or some blinds.
Maybe there's a tree knock, Maybe there's a screen, Maybe
there's a a whoop. Maybe there's some kind of another noise,
some kind of bird noise or something. But it doesn't
sound right to you, and you're going, Okay, what the heck? Well,
(07:05):
that just could be them basic saying hey, there's somebody coming.
I believe that bigfoots most of the time, not all
the time, but most of the time live in family groups,
and so the young ones are usually out there watching
to make sure that you know, the juveniles, the shorter ones,
the six to fourteen footers or ten footers or whatever
you want to say, they're out there watching to make
(07:27):
sure if somebody comes walking into the middle of them
hunting or maybe they're they're betting down for the night,
or maybe they're they're just getting up, or maybe they're eating,
or maybe they're just relaxing, maybe they're trying to play
a hunt. Who knows what they do that basically, they
can alerk the others, right. They don't want somebody just
(07:49):
walking in randomly and seeing them. They're seeing somebody walking
up to my door. So I'm in the front room,
I can see out the window. Anyways, Essentially, that's kind
of how Bigfoot reacts too. They see exactly what I
(08:10):
was just talking about. Somebody walked up to my door
and they're walking quickly. I looked to see what was
going on, and then they're walking and watching them walk away. Okay,
I feel better because I know the threat is over.
He's leaving, right, So that put me on guard. So
imagine the Bigfoot anyways. Uh So, yeah, when I got
out of the vehicle. I tell people in it, like
I said, it drives the minute crazy. I think I've
(08:31):
said this her four times. Slow down, calm your posture,
take your time, get your gear, Because if I'm throwing
a gun over my shoulder, or I'm looking aggressive, I'm
I'm I'm packing a knife, or I'm capping, you know,
putting my my weapon in my holster or whatever, it
(08:54):
could possibly alert them to hey, that's dangerous, right if
they know what the things are or they've seen them
mountain hunters out doing what they do, and it could
also spark an aggression out of them. So if I
go walking, you know, at this point, I'm probably not
(09:14):
a threat if I'm out away from where they're at,
But when I start walking quickly towards them, they're you know.
And I'm saying this in a in a way that
you know they're actually there. So take this with a
grain of salts. I know a lot of people are
on here, are skeptical or on the fence or non believers.
And I know we have believers and knowers and everything
else too, but this channel we kind of try and
(09:36):
stay in the middle for everybody. Okay, And this is
not a one side or the other. We we like
to have kind of you know, we walk the middle
of the line, if you will. I look at it
both ways. I look at skeptical way, and I look
at it and believe a way. So in a lot
of this is based off my experiences too. I've got
a lot of experiences with these things. I've had numerous,
(09:59):
numerous encounters. I mean, like forty fifteen counters or more
in my lifetime than I know of. So you go
walking down there with weapon or whatever, and now all
of a sudden, these things are watching you, going, uh,
what's going on here? You know, what's this guy's intent?
And he's walking quickly. Now I'm on edge. Now I'm thinking, okay,
(10:20):
I might have to protect myself. I'm gonna hide, I'm
not gonna show myself. I'm not gonna make my presence known.
All that stuff. It's all kind of points to signs
of aggression. Right. But if I, like I said, if
I slow down, I grab my backpack and I've already
secured whatever I'm taking into the forest, you know, on
my side or whatever, hitting it in a pocket or
(10:42):
making sure that it's not seen. And I'm kind of
stopping and looking around, and if it's an area. Again,
there's areas where you have to actually walk into the
forest before you can start looking around. But if I'm
walking slowly and taking my time, keep my head up,
letting my five senses go. I'm looking, I'm listening, I'm hearing,
(11:05):
I'm smelling, I'm feeling, I'm doing all those things. I'm
trying to let my senses kind of just relax and
kind of just start to focus in on what's going
on around me, because a lot of people miss things.
You might hear. You might not hear that tree distant
tree nock. You might not hear that's distant scream. You
might not hear that weird bird sound. You might not
(11:27):
hear something walking away. You might miss those footprints, you
might miss that tree structure, you might miss that blind
you might miss those twigs where you know. You might
be walking down the path and go, wait, I just
missed you just miss that hair sample. You gotta slow down,
You've got to slow down. You gotta take your time
kind of look around. Now. I don't mean like you
(11:49):
stop every two seconds and look around, but as you're
walking down, walk slow, take your time, walk into that
area and really kind of absorb it, really take your
time and really kind of pay attention to what's going
around you let your senses kind of open up. The
forest is completely different than you know in the city.
(12:12):
When you're walking through the city. Yeah, you're walking faster,
you have an intent to get somewhere, you're doing whatever,
and a lot of people have that mindset when they
get somewhere, they just want to get to where they're going.
In the forest, you got to slow down. Because what
happens when you see a deer or an animal or
snake or whatever. What do they do? What's the first
thing they do when you see them. Usually they stop
(12:33):
in the shock and they're like you can just see
them go, oh, they get they get alert. They're like,
oh okay, danger, danger, and they'll run right. But if
you're going slow and you kind of stop and just
let them calm down and let them kind of observe
you a little bit, they'll kind of calm down. Sometimes
they'll kind of just sit there and look at you,
(12:55):
go okay, well, you know, he's just there, and then
you can kind of watch and see what they do.
Maybe they'll walk off, maybe they won't run the walk
and you can hear them walking away and then you
know whatever. But you got to remember that the deer
and other things are their prey. And so if you
find deer in an area, or you find tracks of deers,
(13:15):
then you might have an you know, good good location.
You also have to find maybe a water source or
a water no source nearby. You know. Of course, hold
reports help or new reports as well. Sightings help as well.
Speaking of sightings and reports, if you guys you know,
feel free to comment down below. I know we don't
(13:37):
get a lot of comments, but if you've had a
bigfoot sighting somewhere, you've had you know you you've found footprints,
you've heard something you just don't can't explain, and it
doesn't have to be just big fight. It could be
any any paranormal subject. Feel free to common down below.
You have a story you want to share. We've got
a lot of viewers now our listeners onto our podcast recently,
(14:02):
and we really love hearing your stories. This is what
this channel is about. It's basically about people getting to
share their stories. It started out with me sharing my stories,
but we really want to give you guys the opportunity
to come out and tell your stories, you know, if
you have three or four good ghost stories or whatever,
(14:22):
we love to hear them and we'd love to talk
to you about them and how you share your experiences. Also,
we have a lot of new viewers, a lot of
new listeners from all over the place. We're constantly getting
new notifications that we're on in you know, these podcasts
from other countries, which just blows my mind. To be
honest with you, I've never thought that when we started
(14:45):
we would be getting listeners from Germany, England, Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, Russia, Taiwan, Ireland,
you know, and all these countries in between. Paris. You know,
this is crazy, and all of course across the United States,
South America, North America. I had no idea that that
(15:08):
would ever happen. Also, YouTube is now going to be
translating into other languages automatically, So if you're listening from
another country and you've never been able to kind of listen,
you know, on our audio podcast it doesn't translate for you.
You can go over to our YouTube channel and the
podcast should translate into your language, which I'm a little
super excited about. So it gives us an opportunity to
(15:30):
get more listeners as well. So if you haven't already,
please give us a subscribe alike and follow hit that
notification ball really helps us to continue to grower channel.
I know that we're being held back for some reason.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with the alien
stuff we always talk about. They don't like so much.
It seems like those videos always get held back a lot.
(15:52):
So anyways, okay, so let's keep going upcoming locations. So
we've got we're gonna kind of go back to some
of our locations that we've shot before, and the reason
being the technology we had at that point. The cameras
we had at that point just weren't sufficient to really
document what we are experiencing. We've upgraded. We continually we're
(16:16):
always upgrading gear. But now we've got some other cool stuff.
We've got a blind, we've got a deer uh, you know,
basically a deer decoy that we can use, uh. And
then we've got a camera now that has the ability
to see in complete darkness, which we've never had before.
(16:38):
If you've ever been to the forest here in Texas,
then you get out of these out of these towns.
It's freaking pitch black. You can't see your hand in
from the airporth face. I don't know how many times
I tripped and whatever else in that Joe's camp because
I couldn't see where I was going. You couldn't see
your hand in front of your face. God, if I
had the camera I had now back in the day,
(17:01):
we would have documented so many more bigfoots. I mean,
we could have caught them on camera so much easier.
And now, because you know, we're always constantly talking to
different people and meeting new people, and we actually have
talked to several people that you know, work on shows
and stuff like that, the Bigfoot shows and other shows.
(17:23):
You know. We were we were when we run the
Californi Ghot Ounters. We had a lot of connections up
in Hollywood and stuff, and we never were able to
put a show together because our show would have been
too much like ghost Hunters at that point in time.
But essentially, yeah, they told us, hey, you know we
use these while we're out in the field, out in
(17:44):
the forest and you can't see her hand in front
of your face. I'm like, what, I didn't even know
those He's like, yeah, you gotta get one of these.
And I'm like, what, And if you've watched our YouTube videos,
you've seen well, actually, yeah, you've seen how dark it is.
But I did a short i think, on in our
back forest area over there, facing our back forest area,
(18:05):
and that's probably almost it's probably seventy eighty yards. It's
over almost almost thre hundred feet to the forest from
our back porch. And I turned the camera on, which
is also a little light camera, which is amazing, by
the way, it's oh my gosh, the technology, the quality
is just so much higher. And then basically having an
(18:28):
ire flashlights. Now I did it with one and I
could see clearly the trees back there, and now I've
done it with I've got two more. So we've got three.
I've got to figure out a rig for it. But
we're gonna be able to see so much further, so
so much further things that were dark before, where it
(18:50):
was just you know, you see a silhouette or shadow
or something that they won't people hide, they'll be spotlighted.
I mean even when we were shining stuff, you know,
turning the camera and looking at what we're seeing, you know,
ten fifteen feet away from us before where you couldn't
make out what that was. Now we're gonna turn the tables.
(19:13):
I am so excited about this. So yeah, we're gonna
be using IR flashlights in addition to our cameras, which
should be it should just make it look just like
it's almost like day out, and these things, the clarification
and whatever's out there really won't be able to hide
very well with this camera system we have now, so
(19:36):
I'd like to get another one, but we just haven't
been able to. You know, if you guys want to
buys a coffee, and I've talked about that a long time,
you know, you're welcome and can send a little donation over.
It helps us to buy new care and stuff. But
we also have gone and got some stealth audio recorders
that only record sounds or voices, and so we're gonna
(19:59):
be trying those out in the forest as well, leaving
those for two or three days. You know, we always
left trap cams that Joe's camera up at Joe's camp
for days and days and days sometimes months on end,
but they don't have any sounds, so essentially you couldn't
hear you couldn't hear what was going on. You could
(20:21):
always visually see through pictures and or video, and so
this will be a game changer. You know, are there
is there something walking through? Can you actually hear the
brush snapping? Will be Were there any house? Were there
any whoops? Were there any any noises that you know,
tree knos that we could basically associate back to bigfoot
(20:44):
and stuff like that, And then we can also go
through and take those noises. And we have, like I said,
we have a lot of friends that are you know,
very very familiar with the forest and they're very familiar
with the noises from the forest. And if we can
stump those people with those noises and they can't tell
you exactly what that is, and then we've got something.
(21:05):
So again, technology, the upgrade in technology will help us
to be able to do much better documentation of these
locations that we've been to before. I'm excited to go
back to bass Drop because Bastrop is one of those
places where I've had a sighting of a juvenile bigfoot.
(21:27):
You know, I'm six foot two, about three hundred pounds,
and these things are about the same heighth and with
and probably it's about the same weight as me. Tall skinny, lanky,
you know, not the normal bigfoots that you would see.
They're juveniles, and you know we've documented them during the
day and the night there. You know, I was walking
(21:50):
down there one night or one afternoon. That was the
last time I ever went there. This is probably a
year or so ago, where I had just been raining
so hard for some about three or four hours, and
it was just raining two or three inches per hour,
and the Colorado River, which overflows the bank, overflowed, ever
overflowed its bank. Excuse me. It essentially basically caused the
(22:18):
mud and everything to be super thick. It basically push
put a bunch of silts and mud and stuff over
the trails and stuff like that. So all the normal
the brie and stuff that was up there, the leaves
and all that stuff had washed out. One of the
very first things I found the last time I went
there was this huge tree had fallen over. Actually it
(22:39):
was kind of a strange situation because it literally had
fallen over onto the concrete path that was walking down
So they had closed it because of the rain. But
I got there right after that, so I was able
to get sneaked down there, and it had not only
fallen across the where the steps were, the concrete steps.
It'd fallen across's where the path was too, so it
(23:02):
was blocking the path and light bulb went off on
my head, and I'm like, oh, you know what. That
reminds me of when I was walking at Joe's camp
and you'd walk through an area and you turn around.
There'd be no noise, but there was a log pulled
across the trail, or there was a tree branch pulled
across the trail, or vines or something else. They had
(23:22):
made a cross, made a cross with two sticks to
small diameter tree trunks, and they would try and block
the path and we never touched that. You know, I said, Okay,
you know what, you blocked it. So we went around,
but there was clear paths where they were moving through.
Game was moving through. No idea, but I believe big
(23:44):
thought as well. So I definitely want to go back
to bass Drop. We've had an experience. I've had it
inciting every time i've been there. Oh, let me get
back into this last portion because and there's a video
of this, you can actually see a bigfoot on the video.
I believe really quick. So essentially, as as I walked
down in there in this mucky mud, and it's about
(24:05):
an inch stick. I'm walking through the mud and walking, walking,
walking up the trail, and all of a sudden I found,
you know, kind of a puddle, and then there was
some pretty thick mud twothre inches stick, and I stepped
in and I'm like, oh no, I'm not going any
further than this, and I found these prints. I looked down.
(24:26):
I'm like, oh my gosh, somebody you know, I don't
think anybody walking walking through there with bare feet. I'm
pretty sure, because if Prince walked off off the trail
over a bunch of brush, through a bunch of brush,
and then off over to where it slopes down where
Bastrop is, the road's up high and then it slopes down,
(24:48):
then levels off and then goes over about twenty thirty
feet and then drops back down to the river. So
essentially it had basically stepped in the mud bias. And
I'm sure maybe I heard coming and was panicking, because
it was still there when I got there. Literally, i'd
taken four or five steps through the mud. The thick mud,
it got thicker as you went into the brush, and
(25:11):
left these prints and it was able to document it.
And as I was looking at the prints, I looked
up and I just saw something move. And this thing
was again my shape, my size, but covered with hair.
And it wasn't brown, it wasn't red, it wasn't blonde,
it wasn't black. It looked like it was muddy, like
it had fallen in the mud, and also had a
(25:34):
bunch of I don't know, I guess it it was
moss or tree leaves or something on it, like i'd
walk through an area where I gotten stickers or something
like that. So anyways, it was standing there and it
was camou until it moved. I didn't see it. I
thought it was just a tree. And then of course
it moved, and I'm like, oh, I turned the camera
and I think I caught it. But again, this is
(25:56):
during the day, which we don't really investigate but that
much during day unless we're out scouting locations. So it
basically turned and went back in behind some brush, and
I couldn't fall I couldn't follow it because if the
mud was just so thick, it was about a foot
thick there. I'm sure it was up to its about
its shins and mud and I'm like, no, not walking
(26:19):
through that not worth it. But yeah, I ended up
walking down a little further to trying to see if
I coul follow it on the path and it got
a little drier, little weather here and there and then,
but yeah, so yeah, I mean I've had experiences down
there with juveniles every time I've been in that area.
So that's a cool place. You can actually camp down there.
We do have a campers. We may go down there
(26:39):
and camp one or two nights with a man down
the dogs. I would like to go through and do
some other types of stuff down there, maybe some more
day research as well. You can actually when the river's low,
you can actually go across the river and go up
to the side which I think is not public, and
then above where the river runs, there's a lake up
(27:01):
up the road, not very far, maybe a half a
mile up the road from where we do the research.
And I'm thinking myself, Okay, this must be a pupping ground.
There's deer everywhere there by the way, There's hundreds of
deer everywhere in basket Roll. It's a terrible place to
try because of the damn deer everywhere, especially at night.
There's a golf course there, and the deer all over
(27:21):
the golf course at night, there's hundreds of them. I
mean literally, I could. I could basically go hide in
the bush and wait and wait and wait and reach
out and probably grab one by the neck and pull
it in to a trt, you know, to a brush.
The area and the deer we have no idea I'm there. So,
I mean these big foot have they have a water source,
they have hiding place, and they have tons of food.
(27:43):
And then if you go up there's a camping area,
an RV camping site up also up a little higher
from the river, and there's a lake there and that's
an area I want to check out too. If you've
ever been to the Bass Drop campgrounds, you know, feel
free comment down below. Did you have an experience, what
you know, did you hear anything, do you see anything,
(28:05):
did you find any prints? Did you find any here samples?
Did you find anything? Let me know. I'd love to
hear your experiences and stuff like that, So again, feel
free to comment down below. You know, also tell us
where you're from. I would be interested because, like I said,
where we have viewers and listeners now from everywhere around
(28:26):
the world, and it's just so fascinating to have had
that happen. I feel so lucky and so humbled by
all of you new listeners and viewers. Again, if you could,
if you're on a YouTube channel, if you'll give us
a like, of subscribe and a follow, do you try
to post podcasts every week, whether it's a best guest
(28:47):
interview or me just me talking. Also again, if you
want to share your stories, your bigfoot stories or other
paranormal stories about your paranormal activity that you've experienced, feel
free to comment down below, or you know, if you
don't feel don't feel comfortable comping down below. My cell
number is actually down there. Our Facebook page is like
(29:09):
linked down there, so you can go in there and
you can message just through Facebook if you want. We've
had a lot of few people do that. We've had
some people from England asked us to come on their
podcast and that was awesome. And once again on our
Facebook page if you want to go listen to that.
It's about a two hour interview which I had a
lot of fun. On some other locations I want to
(29:32):
go investigate. I definitely want to get back to the
Sam Houston National Forest. I have plans for that cemetery.
We will also be going through that video from the
cemetery where I was kind of breaking it down on
one of the podcasts recently and I'm like, oh, there's
a big foot there and I didn't even know it
(29:54):
was standing like right in front of me. It was
literally standing there watching me walk. Part. I just found
a print. It was a fresh print. I looked up.
I had no idea what's eve was standing there. I
got that on a GoPro. So anyways, I'll be bringing
that down. It's it's more of a visual thing, so
it won't be part of our podcast. But if you're
on a YouTube channel or a Rumble channel, you can
(30:16):
go there again. If you'll give us a like subscribe
and give us a thumbs up for the videos. I
appreciate that. It really helps us. So yeah, I mean
we'll be we'll be breaking it down on those two
channels and stuff like that. So the same Houston National Forest.
I've got friends that are hunters over there, and they
(30:36):
they there's two locations I really want to hit where
I found there's a lot of activity where maybe they're
migrating through. I don't know when we're going to go
back out into the forest. I think it's gonna probably
be in a month or two. I just wanted to
make sure my ankle's one hundred percent before I go
walking back out there, and then you know, snap it again.
And then also we'll be going back up into the
(30:58):
Sabine National Forest, Amanda. If you're listening to the podcast,
which I hope you are, or you're watching this video.
For some reason, I can't seem to email you, if
you can do me a favor and just call me
my numbers down below or text me. I don't know
what's going on between that. I don't know if you
guys still own that property I chose old property or what,
(31:19):
But feel free to contact me. I'd love to continue
our conversation and see if we can get out and
meet you and stuff like that. So I'll be going
back out there here in a nice a month or two.
I'd love to get back out to that area. At least.
There's a lot of places Joe showed us up in
the Sabine National Forest where we could possibly have a
(31:40):
big foot encounter. That area is very very there's a
lot of reports that's on the Texas Louisiana border and
there's a lot of reports out there. Speaking of reports,
if you guys want to make our report, you're feel
free again to contact us through our socials or through
my cell phone you know, call it, text me whatever
you want to do. Early comment down below and uh
(32:02):
you know our message me. We would love to talk
to you about locations you think we should go to.
We are still working on Exploring Unknown with Matt and Amanda.
We've just been taking a break because of other things
in our life. Things keep changing rapidly him we're just
kind of having to put the paring them on the
back back burner for a little bit here. We've been
(32:27):
doing a lot of private investigations lately, trying to help
a lot of people. There's been a lot of weird
activity going on in people's homes, so that's what we've
been up to. It's been a little more time consuming
than I thought it would be, and it's taken away
from the opportunity for us to shoot videos out of
the locations. So anyways, last location, the Fort Worth Monster.
(32:50):
If you guys actively or have researched to the Fort
Worth Monster, I would love to have you come on
the podcast and talk about it. When we're up there.
I rolled ankle severely. Thank god, it didn't snap. I
just rolled something unseen tried to do it to me twice.
It wasn't. We were fine until the gentleman I was
(33:12):
with got a little bit ahead of me, and essentially
I was walking and I found a print and then
I heard a tree knock on, really loud tree knock,
and then I turned and looked and something literally grabbed
my backpack and tried basically spined me down, spinn me
and I landed on the on the ground, and I
(33:34):
had no idea what had happened. I grabbed me my
backpack and literally tried to spin me around, and that
time I caught my foot just a little bit, which
irritated my ankle and an old ankle ankle, an old
ankle injury I got when I was a bit. Joe's
if you haven't heard me talking about that when I
was something he told me. Joe told me, don't go
(33:55):
out there at night. You know, of course, when you're
looking through a little view finder that's one by one
and it's pitch black. A lot of locations you go
out to it's pitch black. Skin you're thinking, essentially you
can't see your hand in front of your face out there,
and you're looking for this little viewfinder and you step
(34:16):
in a damn home and camp was you know between
you know, all the leaf ball and all the dead
poliage underneath was sand. Well, he had a lot of
sandy soil, and you know, I'm pretty sure that's why
he had all the natural springs coming up. But anyways,
you step in those holes and you can lean one
(34:39):
way the other I don't, it'll pull you that way.
You can't get your foot out of the hole, which
is what happened to me. I basically put my stepped
in the hole, and then my whole body shifted to
the left and I kind of went to the left.
I didn't fall, thank god I had. I caught myself,
pulled myself out, but I pretty severely sprained my ankle
at that point in time. And and so the second
(35:01):
time this happened up in Fort Worth, we were walking back.
He was way ahead of me and I was trying
to trying to find my way through the forest. I
should have I was not prepared for what we were doing.
I should have been carrying a lot different gear and
stuff like that. My fault. But yeah, we were walking
through And when I walked through the forest, like I said,
(35:22):
I go slow. I'm constantly looking for things, watching, looking
to see if I can see anything, hear anything, fine
hair samples, tree structures which we found, which that video
will never see a lot of day unfortunately for you guys.
But yeah, we were starting to find some I was
starting to find some evidence. I'm like trying to explain
it to him, and he's so far ahead of me.
(35:43):
He was dead set on getting to a location where
he thought they were betting down and so essentially that's
all he had on his mind. I couldn't. I couldn't.
I couldn't communicate with him what I was trying to do,
and he didn't nothing. He didn't understand. We were just
on completely different pages. Anyways, So who he is walking
(36:03):
back and he had already gotten back to the boat,
and I'm walking back and I kept getting grabbed by mines.
I swear when I say the forest comes alive, I
really mean they really like reach out almost like little
shop of horrors and literally wrap around you as you're walking.
It's the craziest thing. So essentially something I basically again
(36:26):
stepped almost in a very shallow hole. The dirt was
kind of sandy. We were walking on a sand berm,
a little island area. Stepped on a sandburm, foot went
in and of course there's a root there, and my
toes went underneath it and something literally grabbed me again
by the backpack. This time I reached up with both hands.
(36:47):
I grabbed onto one tree in the one side, one
train and the other and the one tree in the
right side was only probably two or three inch diamond
or trunk, and literally this thing starts yanking me to
the left, almost ripped my backpack off over my head,
pulling me down, and essentially I snapped that tree, the
(37:08):
tree in half and fell over and my foot was flat.
My foot was flat on the ground, but yeah, my
whole body was laying on the ground next to so
my foot was. My ankle had been severely bent. Nothing snapped,
thank god, but the pain I just felt. I could
feel the compressed, compressed, compressed, compress. I'm like, oh, no,
(37:31):
I had boots on, I had heavy duty walking boots
on and it's still bent me over. I think the
boots are one of the things saved me from not
completely breaking my ankle. I don't know. Maybe I did
break my ankle out no idea. I did get it
looked at, but I never followed upon it, so my bad. Anyways,
(37:54):
So we made it back to the boat, and then
my ancles just hasn't been the same that was back
in January. So let's been what eight plus almost nine
months now since that happened, and my ankle is just
taking a long time to heal. But everybody talks about
cloaking bigfoots and bigfoots going through portals and all that stuff,
(38:16):
and I'm not gonna say that isn't true. I've never
experienced it. And I know for a fact because I've
seen what looks like these invisible figures that you don't
see them until they freaking move. And they're not bigfoot
shaped or size. They're like our size. It's almost like
they're a human. Maybe there's some kind of soldier or
(38:38):
something that's out in the woods. I don't know. Maybe
it's a ghost, maybe it's some kind of alien. I
have no idea what it is, but literally they look
like they basically can blend. I mean, they look like
they're a mirror. Just imagine a flatten mirror. Like Predator
without all the extra mirrors on top, just a flat mirror,
and you don't see them until they move, just clear
(39:00):
almost almost like you can almost see through them. They've
been the light around them, and then they move and
you're like, what the hell is that? And these are
not bigfoots what I've seen it. From what I've seen,
they're not bigfoots. But yet they're unseen. They don't make
any noise, they're unseen, you know. I mean, I don't
know if you guys have experienced this either, but if
(39:22):
you have, I'd love to talk to you about it,
either in private or you know, I'd love to hear
more about it on the podcast. Let me know what
you know, what have your been, what have you experienced
out in the forest you know, or or whatever. And
if there's locations that you think we should be checking out,
you know, message me leave a comment down below. I
(39:45):
do you read every single comment? Do you try and
give everybody some feedback of my own? Always positive and
stuff like that, And then maybe you can come on
and be a guest, or maybe you can just you know,
we can just talk about it and maybe we can
meet up with you at your location. We were doing
that with a few people and then all of a sudden,
everything and just like I said, stopped. We've had quite
(40:07):
a bit of stuff going on, so anyways, but yeah again, guys,
if you'll do me a favor, if you're still listening
at this point or watching, give me a favorite, hit
the like button, you know, subscribe and we'll leave a
comment down below. Tell us where you're listening from, because
I would love to hear where people are calling watching
(40:27):
us from and stuff like that. So all right, guys,
this is getting a little long. I appreciate your time,
and we will catch you on the next one.
