So this is going to be the firstepisode in a double episode,
(01:10):
kind of roll out that I'm that I'm doing for this week.
So this is episode 12. So on this episode, we're going
to be talking about Mike Woolleyand his famous Bigfoot
encounter. I'm also going to tell you know,
different stories and things that's happened to myself or
family members and people like that are stories that I've heard
(01:31):
from people telling me and And so, where this story takes place
and I cannot for the life of me and I tried to look this up and
I can't find it. I want to say it's in the
Carolinas area. Tennessee, North Carolina that
area. So Mike wooly had been hunting
(01:53):
this this part of land for, you know, you know a while but he
only had hunted it he had over the course of Of span of years.
He's hunted, this thing, but he's only hunted.
It like five times in total. And he usually, when he does
hunt this, he does it usually inthe morning time?
(02:16):
Well, then he had some stuff come up on this day and I want
to say the date that he went outon his account or was like,
maybe in February, I believe anyways, but So he had some
stuff that he had to do during the day, so he was like, I'm
gonna, I'm gonna go out and huntin the evening time when she's
never done at this property. Well, on this property, there's
(02:40):
only one way in one way, out in the road is one of those Old
Logging roads. It's very, very narrow.
And when you go to a certain point in the road, there's only
one one spot where you can turn around especially if you're in
like in a big truck. And unfortunately, Mike Well, he
was in a big truck that day, so every time that he hunted that
(03:02):
property, he always at that, at that little turnout spot.
He would basically turn around and back, his truck all the way
back up until the end of the road.
And, you know, he was kind of not really expecting anything,
especially in the evening times.Because, you know, he didn't
really think that, you know, he would get anything because it
was running season, like things.Like I said, I'm not a deer
(03:25):
hunter anything, but, like, you He and that area, he noticed
that, you know, in the even times it was more kind of tough
to get something. Well, so he goes down their
backs, his truck up and he gets out and he had this kind of this
treestand that basically it was like two poles into the ground
and it was like a triangle a triangle basically.
(03:47):
So it kind of wrapped around thetree but it was like next to the
tree and basically the stand youknow about 10 foot off the
ground It was a ladder and all that stuff.
So, like one of those more kind of older school, like, type of
deer stands. And so, he's sitting there and
(04:08):
he's probably, he's been there, maybe five minutes, and he
notices a do come up, like, likerunning Spike really fast and
he, and his underneath the deer stand, and he looks down and he
realizes that the deer was sweating, like it was just run,
it was like War out, like just had been being Chase for a while
(04:29):
and he saw the sweat and the do was panting, and he thought that
was kind of strange, but then healso kind of realized he, like I
said, I mentioned before was right, it was running season,
you know, and so they kind of he's coming, I will.
Maybe there was a big buck afterher or maybe there's multiple
bucks after. So he's sitting there and he's
kind of looking and all sudden. He hears it was almost like a he
(04:52):
called it almost like a freight train but kind of And, you know,
I comfortable bull like coming their way through, you know,
through the thick brush and the path that the.
So there's a path that gets to that stand.
But like all around the path, it's all like really tall trees
and Briar like really like 4-inch, you know, Breyer like
(05:16):
stickers are, you know, he said base of any man with through
there, he'd be all cut up and bein bad shape.
So he looks up and he sees this black, kind of shape making its
way units hide and kind of behind this little small tree
and so he's looking, he's like, what do they know?
What the hell is that? You know, what's what is that?
(05:36):
And he didn't think to look through his to through his scope
but he kind of was watching it, you know.
And next thing, he knows this this creature jumps, literally,
no running start and this Is howhe explained, and no running
start. It didn't, you know, it didn't
use the tree to, you know, bounce off.
(05:59):
He said, it jumped 20 feet to the bigger to this bigger tree.
That was, you know, off to the off the way because it's just
game Trail was kind of a wider game Trail and it jumped to this
other big really, really big, really big tree and he's like
sitting here watching this thing, do this.
Well, the dough is still underneath the tree and the
(06:22):
whole time. And you know, in like this, by
the way, this counter lasted about 15 minutes.
And what to me, what kind of gets me kind of kind of spooked
out. Was when he finally decided to
pull the scope up, what he saw, was basically a Bigfoot
Sasquatch. And when he put his his scope on
(06:45):
the face of this thing, he said it looked human like it looked
legitimately human and in his mind.
And he starts thinking of like, okay, is this Pharaoh people
like the circus. Get out, you know, like the
circus. Like, that's so funny.
I always hear that like, kind ofexcuse.
We're all, y'all used to Circus.You know, that you heard about
(07:07):
those monkeys that got loose like, all right.
But but yeah, he started going through and he's like, well, you
know, he's a, let me, let me take a better.
Let me Lou, really hone in on the same because he was going to
shoot this thing because he wasn't sure what it was.
But he said it looked human, Andso he had kind of like said he
had really start scoping this thing out and he was describing
(07:31):
and then the interview and then I've read an article about this
that the eyes were like solid black like there.
He could barely see any white orif he couldn't remember if he
could see any white but it was basically black eyes on this
thing. He said, the nose, like the nose
didn't look human, like I had a human-looking knows the teeth
were kind of squared off like not like how Chimpanzees have
(07:53):
kind of like canine teeth, like it was like squared off like how
humans have our teeth are and hewas like, man, this is he's like
this is my me really human. Like, I need it.
Like I don't want to shoot this thing.
If it tries to tag me because, you know, I could go to jail for
murder. He's real kind of contemplating
well. At the time that he was using
(08:13):
the scope this thing started growling adding it was like,
okay, he equated to like, if 5 and lions were like, you know,
it African lions were, you know,growling at him and kind of, you
know, using their kind of the infrasound type, you know, stuff
that they that those animals usehe said it felt like a wind hit
(08:37):
him and it kind of disoriented him and he said that he kind of
in his mind, it felt like time slows.
Slow down and he, he was really almost like it was like
everything was still, but he wasstill moving at normal, you
know, speed and he said that this thing was growling.
And here you can see its teeth, it kept showing its teeth, like
a, like, a champ would do. Like, you wouldn't doesn't like,
(08:59):
it's a know, like Pringles is knows.
It kind of starts showing his teeth and he said, it had
squared off teeth. So, these are look at the body
in the body was completely covered in hair.
And he, he basically just saw the broad shoulders and he said
that it looked like a human headwith a gorilla body.
And this part of this, this partof the story is literally not as
(09:20):
a nightmare for me, like, so, out of nowhere, he hears.
This whistle and I've heard, I've had family members, tell me
about this whistle, you know, I,you know, I've heard this
whistle when I'm out in the woods and it's not like a
whistle, like a sharp one. It's like a faint whistle.
(09:40):
It's really kind of like it. It carries the, the wind carries
the whistle through the woods and he heard that and he kind of
looked over to his, you know, off kind of behind him.
And he's like, where's that? We still come from, like, I
sound like, I've heard that before all.
While the second is a front of him, he looks at he's, like I
said, he's looking he kind of looks and then he looked back in
the scope and this thing's eyes,moved, kind of off to the right.
(10:04):
So it'd be So now after the, it's left, but his right and
he's like, okay, what was that? And also hit the thing that the
creature whistled back to it, like Whistle Back to wherever
that was coming from and he's like, oh no, he's like, what is
this like a commune? Like he started really kind of
thinking like me how they communicate with each other.
(10:25):
Like what's you know, what's going on with that?
Like there's got to be there's another one and when he goes
kind of like looks back at me and said he looks back into the
scope that One that whistled back to the whistle was smirking
at him and it had this look likeyou're in trouble, buddy.
Like, it's over for you. And he said, literally this
thing was smirking at him like he said, he couldn't believe it
(10:48):
because it was like it, like, itNu like it had the upper hand
and it was going to get him. I got goosebumps telling because
when I can imagine just being upin that tree stand and seeing
that thing and it's, it's looking at you like like, you
know, like if Michael Jordan waslooking at you and you're down
30, Points. And Scottie Pippen in, Kobe
(11:08):
Bryant, we're all on the same team.
Shaq, Roland, same team and you're like, dang, like, it's
over for me, you know, like theyabout to really beat me down,
but like he said that, like thisthing just kept smirking at him,
and he said, it's real Sinister.Like, it was like it was hung
like, if you look at it like a something that's real hungry,
(11:30):
you know, like if you're hungry,you look at this up when you're
like man. I'm about to tear that up and he
said it It looked like that for a little, like, for the base of
the entire time. So then it whistles again, and
all of a sudden, he hears movement behind him.
So he's in this tree, stand his back against the tree and behind
(11:50):
him, he can hear faint. Like, it was two steps and it
wasn't like, it was coming fast.It was like, it was like, it was
sneaking up on him. And so this thing is trying to
distract him like smirking and kind of like taunting.
So this one behind you can get him and so Mike is like well all
right I think it's time for me to try to make a make a run for
(12:12):
it. So he gets down that down that
stand and he's running basicallyBack to his truck through this
little Trail. And when he does that, these,
this creature, that was in frontof him, takes off into the brush
into the Briars, and it's literally within 50 feet of him.
And I forgot to mention this, this whole encounter is about 15
(12:35):
yards away. So, basically almost a first
down in football, that's not that far.
And so this thing he kind of goes off and shuts off into the
tray path. To getting back to his truck.
This thing goes into the Briars and it's mowing trees down,
ripping trees up, and it's Mowing and he says he can
literally feel how close this thing is.
(12:56):
And he gets to his truck or he'sabout to his truck and he
realizes like if I try to get mykeys out of my pocket, open the
door, unlocked the door or I'll lock the door, open the door,
start the truck, this thing's gonna bust through the thing and
get me. So he takes a pop shot, just
trying to, you know, may be distracted or something.
And so he shoots and this thing,and it literally, this thing was
(13:18):
probably about eight foot tall. He shot about 7 foot and it was
about three feet away from that thing's face.
And when he shot the the tree, it almost looks like an
explosion of dust in this thing's face and because it was
real old old oak tree. And so they take off here, he
takes off and he gets to the truck he takes off and he's you
(13:40):
Going like, smoking out of there, like it's going crazy
like making sure he got out of there and out of his rear view
mirror. He saw one hand.
Try to grab the the tailgate like it was going to climb in
the truck but luckily, it missedit.
Like you can see he said he could just see the fingers kind
of like it was trying to grab itbut he took off and it missed.
(14:00):
And so he said as he was, you know, kind of taking off around
the curve because this is, like I said, it's a straight shot,
but there's a curved toward you get towards the end of it.
He said, he almost got to the Her when he could see there was
another one, there was another one and he had no idea, it was
right behind it, the whole time and that was the one that was he
thinks that was the one. I was trying to get into the
truck at the back of the truck. And he got out of there and and
(14:25):
people asked him, you know, it'sone thing to that.
I like when I really listened tothe interview and he, you know,
he talked to some Eastern Eastern band Cherokees about
this and basically said that in those are in that area.
You know, those Sasquatch they the Eastern band believes that
they can speak Cherokee and thatthey look Cherokee and he did it
(14:51):
like over the over the course ofthe year She's done like artist
sketches and he's taking it to these different tribes often
like an eye on that you know in that area and I like yeah that's
that looks Cherokee like this. There's some Cherokee blood in
their hair. Thanks so much out here.
Wildin out in the in the in the words of Tyler.
Randall, Bigfoot's Wild Weekend in part 9.
(15:12):
Nah. But or Oma in that cave, people
rage now, but, but nah, but yeah.
So they said that they looks kind of turkey.
And so I was like, man, that's that's kind of crazy, you know,
that he's, he has kind of reached out to some tribes and
(15:32):
he's told to tragic stories. Well, he, you know, kind of goes
to other Bigfoot researchers. They said, well no, they were
just Bluff charged you there, you know, and he's tried to tell
these people like, nah, he's saying this thing tried to kill
me. It tried to eat me.
Be like know, these things were not playing like they were not
doing no. Trying to get you out of the
area. Like nah, he said they were
coming for me and he thinks it all started, what started to
(15:56):
that interaction with him doing that was him when he pointed his
rifle at him, Chuck to look intothe scope.
And so, you know, that's a famous Bigfoot story that's been
around for you know, a while. I think that happened in the 90s
but Mike Willie Wood didn't really want to come out and say
anything about it because You know how people are when you
tell stories sometimes or, you know, they don't believe you
(16:17):
you're crazy or, you know. But a lot of the stuff that he
talks about a lot of people havehad those experiences with with
this creature. I mean, I've heard stories you
mentioned the Navajo Ranger episode that, you know, they
were beating on the doors and they're beating on bread to
Harris's doors and trailer and you know and they kind of you
(16:39):
know and they do things like that and you know Story that
comes to mind that was told to me not here recently from my
parents and kind of reminds me of you know kind of what that
could be your what you know whatsomething is.
But my mom is not. My mom is was born and raised in
a country. She acts all that's basically
(16:59):
all she knows and she's been outin the woods, you know, all you
know, her entire life and messing around.
And she said the only time that will like I'm pretty spooked out
at my parents house. Like here's some There's some
weird things out there and my mom's not really, she likes to.
She's always likes to think, youknow, all its could be, this
(17:20):
could be that. Well, one night, my dad was
watching TV and he was in the living room and how to live
there. So they'll you have the living
room and then right behind the couch is the back door that goes
to the pasture and it goes back out to the woods.
Well on the on the right hand side I think I've told this
(17:40):
story before on Unsolved Each other are of the reservation,
but off to the right. There's these, these woods and
there's a big old tree that you can see it at all.
Those woods. That's right.
Against the fence one night. She was, you know, she was
laying there and I think I was out of the house by that point
and you never told me the story,I guess.
(18:01):
It made me kind of creep me out.But she, she was laying there
watching TV about to go to bed and she said, she's thinks she
saw someone looking into the Trying to look into the window
of the door. So basically, when you go out
the back door, there's another door and then you step further
(18:22):
out. And then that's the the tree
line. Well, there's a door, there's
two doors, which I don't know why they did that.
But there's two doors that lead into my parents room and into
the living room and they looked and she says she looked and she
said she saw someone. It was someone big like really
big. Like she can see the outline of
this thing and it was monstrous and it was trying Look in on
(18:45):
them or her. She screamed my dad.
He's like, what's going on there?
Somebody out there, somebody outthere, he went out.
There was nobody there and my mom always tries to say, is my
dad, my dad was like now I was sitting down in the living room
with the TV on in the light was on so they do things like that.
You know. I don't know what that was but I
was still you know, they're always messing around, you know,
(19:07):
messing with me, didn't knock iton Windows, but but that is he's
kind of trickster like that or come mess around.
But but these things do those, you know, those think type of
things like I've heard, you know, I've told the story before
too, but I've heard, you know, story about my dad's best friend
saw one, one night out there where the Chariot with the
(19:30):
Cherokee Nation can see though is now the big new nice ones,
you're coming into town, right? They used to be a golf course
out over there. And there was a road that went
behind it. Rose still goes behind it I
believe for it's connected now but but yeah there was some it
was basically. Just heels.
And it was an old golf course. And he saw something past behind
him, real, big and hairy. And they do.
(19:51):
They do, they do those things toyour mind?
You know, Michael Willie, did say, you know, he kind of when
they grunting down him kind of, you know, kind of hit him with
something. They do those things to your
mind, they scramble you, they kind of make you out of your
make, you lose your mind and I think that's a part of their,
what they do is, you know, to stay kind of And it kind of stay
(20:14):
protected is to do those things to people.
And I know one of the biggest episodes I've done is the
Bigfoot medicine. And if you, if you want to kind
of hear some more about the kindof that side of it, check that
episode out, it's episode 2, it's called Bigfoot medicine.
But it's really interesting though, that story about Mike
(20:35):
wooly, you know, him kind of changing things up and that's
usually how. And that's one thing I notice
about a lot of these stories that You know, people tell or
like when they see Sasquatch is like, they changed the routine.
I like most times people go in the mornings and hunt or they'll
go in the evening times and theystick to that, but he didn't.
(20:57):
And I thought that was real, youknow, kind of interesting when
it comes to kind of work creatures of habit but they are
too, you know, they could be, that's could be there that could
have been there hunting around. I could have been that that time
of the day where they push game up through that game Trail and
get them. But like I said, guys, this is
(21:17):
