I Ran Face-First Into a Sasquatch! - My Bigfoot Sighting Episode 179

When tonight’s first guest, Sonya, was 6, she had her first Sasquatch sighting. When it happened, she and her sister were playing by a creek, behind their home. After they saw it, the ran inside to tell their mother about what they saw. Unfortunately, their mother laughed and told them that it was just their imagination. Fast forward to present day and Sonya has a plethora of sightings under her belt. That’s due, in large part, to the fact that she has a family of Sasquatch living on and around her property, in East Tennessee. On tonight’s show, she’s not only going to share some of her experiences with them, she’s also going to give advice about how she recommends that you interact with them, if you ever find yourself in their presence. We hope you’ll tune in and listen to her do that.

Tonight’s second guest, John, had his Sasquatch sighting in 1991, outside of Fox Creek, Alberta Canada. He was working on an oil field, up north at the time of his sighting. He was working on a crew that was running a seismic line through a forest there. When John’s sighting happened, John was riding in a truck, through the forest, at night. He was in the passenger seat and the moon was out. John had just been taking in the sights, due to how bright the moon was, when all of a sudden, he saw something he’d never seen before, in all the time he’d spent in the woods. Tonight, he’s going to go into detail, chronicling that experience for you.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:52):
My big foot siding started when I was six. My
name is Sonia and I live in Easternnessee and I
lived near a family of Sasquatch I have my whole
life and my first fighting. When I was six, me
and my sister were playing by the creek and we'd

(01:12):
seen one and we went inside and told my mother that,
you know, we had seen this pig carry man beside
the creek and he was watching us play. And she
was like, oh, no, no, that you didn't see anything.
That was just your imagination. Go back outside and play,
and me and my sister continue to see it, and
we were just like, well, that's just what imagination is.
It's just something that it's just something that's in the woods,

(01:35):
you know, it's just something that you think you see
her maybe that I don't know, maybe you say those
you know, things that you see in the woods with
your sister. So it was weird thinking that, you know,
for a while that it was at my imagination. And
then as I got older, my dad, you know, we
told my dad, you know, about the things we were seeing.
And my dad he's always been really curious because his

(01:59):
great aunt used to talk about the big gray thing
when he was a kid, and she used to talk
about the big gray thing would eat out of her garden,
and a lot of people in the area where she
lived would cite this thing and they called it the
big gray thing. And that was in this is near Knoxville, Tennessee,
where my dad grew up. And so, like, my dad

(02:20):
always was really curious about, you know, what was out
in the woods. He'd spent a lot of time out
in the woods, and he had heard things, and you know,
he'd seen some things, but never really sure of anything.
But you know, when we started, me and my sister
started telling him about the hairy man that was in
the woods, you know, was he was curious. So past
forward a few years to when I was twelve, we

(02:42):
didn't have really we didn't really have any anything happened
between me and my sister seeing it a few times
in the woods when we were really little. And then
when I was twelve, I'd been at a softball game
and we got something from the bake sell and we
left in the track and my dad was go get
that stuff out of the truck, and I was like okay,

(03:02):
and I go out on the porch and we had
dogs outside, dogs farm dogs that weren't scared of anything,
and these two particular dogs were on the porch wanting
that night. And I'll never forget because I walked out
and I was just like, that's weird. They're like not
acting right. The dogs aren't acting right. And I made

(03:23):
it on down the steps almost to the truck, and
something screamed in the woods. And when I described the
scream like, I sat besides Squatch since then, and I
still never heard them make this particular noise over and
over again. But also my sister does animal impressions, and
she does like a she does a lot of like
just weird animal calls outside. So that summer, something showed

(03:47):
up and was answering my sister back, and it was screaming,
and the scream it sounded like a like almost like
a dying jack rabbit and a howler monkey. That's the
only way I can describe it. And it screamed so
loud when I walked outside that my dad came out
behind me and was like, what was that? And I
was like, I don't know. I was frozen in fear

(04:09):
because I'd never heard anything like that, and never I'd
never heard them make that noise, and at the time
I didn't know it was them, but I mean, my
dad went inside and we at the time he had
a handheld spotlight and he grabbed that and we grabbed
our gun, and we went out to the edge of
the woods and the thing was still screaming, like it
sounded like it was just right there at the edge

(04:29):
of the woods, like you should be able to see it,
but you couldn't. We turned the light out and we
stood there for a few minutes and you could hear
you could hear it walking away on two feet. And
that was our first like real real experience with them,
knowing that it was something and whatever it was was

(04:49):
on two feet and it was walking away from us.
And so after that, that whole summer, we spent a
lot of time outside. We used to sleep on the trampoline.
This thing would set outside and my sister would scream,
and it would scream back at her. It would walk
around the woods and scream at us at night. And
you know, even if being at twelve years old and

(05:10):
just thinking, oh my gosh, you know that could be
bigfoot and this, you know, thinking that's what it was,
but never really seeing it. But remember seeing it when
I was a kid, you know, and putting the two
together like, Okay, they're real. Well, for years I sat
in the woods, you know, and you know, we'd have something,
you know, throw stuff at us in the middle of

(05:31):
the night. Its been have been a couple of times
where we would leave the windows open at night and
if you could hear something walk by the window and
you would stand there and it would you could just
hear it breathing and it would just like it. And
I still have a fear of windows, even though I
know that's like that's what they are and they're not
I'm not scared of them. I still have a fear

(05:52):
of windows because of it, just because it's creepy. But
for years we'd have just little things have and uh
just you know, walnuts getting thrown at us, or rocks
getting thrown at us. Never hit us, always you know,
land around us or whatever. They would throw them on
top of the house. We had a tin roof that

(06:12):
the rocks on top of the ten roof to get
us to come outside. Just little things like that through
my teenage years. So when I got into my twenties,
I started to sit in the woods with them and
not very often. I chose a gifting spot. I started
taking apples out there. I realized that they didn't really

(06:36):
like like balt eggs. They like eggs, but I never
had any luck with them really eating like the store
bought eggs. So we had farm fresh eggs and that
they would eat.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Them, and I would take them apples.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
So we had the little gifting spot that we've trade
back and forth, and that went on for years, and
I'd still seen I'd find I'd find footprints everywhere. I
would find what I know now are cliffs. I would
find like little tree markings, and I would find the
like I've known, these spots that they would sit in,

(07:10):
and I would go to those spots, you know. And
we had our one gifting spot that we had these
these other standing spots where I knew they would stand
at night. And I started going to those spots. And
when I would go to one spot, you could see
the other spot where they would stand at. And I
would go to that spot and look up, and I
found a trail to go up the mountain and found

(07:32):
a spot up there to sit in, and I would
go up there at night and I would sit And
that's kind of like how it started with like having
this connection with them, like I would just go and sit.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
And and kind of wait.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
For them to for them to, you know, either show
up or they get and sometimes you know, they're not
always they're not always there. I know they have like
a track around the mountains where they live, so you know,
but on they were there. I know. There's at least
ten or more in the family. There's a main male

(08:08):
Sasquatch and he's the one that I've been seeing since
I was a kid, and he was like I think
he's not exactly the dominant Sasquatch, but he is like
the alpha male. I guess. The female runs the tribe
or the clan you know here. And she's white and
she's she's she's the older mother, is what I call her.

(08:30):
She's she's white, she's gray, and I think to myself,
and now that now that I've seen her, I think
to myself, you know, maybe that was the same gray thing,
the big gray thing that you know, my dad's aunt
seen as a kid, you know. Or there's just you
know a couple of great ones in the mix. They're
not all brown and dark and like reddish in color.

(08:53):
Most of the clan is she's gray. Most of the
rest of the clan are a dark brown or a
dark red color. But yeah, so, like I said, it
much wanted. I started sitting with them and sitting in
the woods, and that's how they started showing themselves. And
then I realized certain spots in the woods, especially at
active spots, they have watchers during the day that would watch.

(09:17):
They would like because you could see the whole valley,
you know, from these different spots, and I realized that
they were sitting there and you would find these little
piles of like sticks just broken up into pieces, and
like pieces of bark off a tree that just been
like slowly peeled, you know, like if you were sitting
there twiddling your thumbs and you didn't have anything else

(09:38):
to do because you were watching supposed to be watching
the valley. So I would find all these little piles
and stuff. So it was easy to find a trail
for them, and you know, to relate with them. And
I never take my gun out out there, like well,
I don't say never, because we do have like hunters
and stuff that come through, and so I try not

(10:00):
to like arm myself when I'm in the woods with them.
Because I feel like it's a it's a like a
I don't feel like I need it. I'm not saying
that you shouldn't. I don't feel like I do. So
it was just like a trust thing just to go
in the woods and sit with them and just to
be around them and you know, and then the gifting

(10:21):
thing that always break bread with them, eat part of
the apple and leave part of the apple that way
you break bread with them, you know, And it was
just it was just stuff like that started getting me
into like, you know, just just knowing about them and
actually and being knowing that there were more than one,

(10:41):
which I'd always kind of figured, but then to get
to see I saw the whole family one time. This
was just a few years ago. This is probably about
six years ago. I was sitting in the woods and
it was right after my dad died, and uh, I
went to our spot and sat in the woods and

(11:03):
was just having like just a breakdown and the whole
clan came and surrounded me and it was so cool
and it was like I get emotional talking about it now,
but like it was just so cool. It was something
that I'd never experienced before, but sitting there having them
all around me. And then that's when I seen That's
when I seen the old mother. She showed herself to

(11:25):
me then and it was just like wow. I didn't
realize there were so many. But I also didn't realize,
you know, that she was a part of the clan.
And it's weird too, because a lot of people say
that they can hear them in their head. And I'm
one of those people, Like I've always been able to
like be in the woods and hear things and find things,

(11:46):
like I like to make a lot of bone jewelry.
So I'll be in the woods and I'll just I'll
get that voice inside my head that says, hey, come
over here, come to this tree, and there will be
like a whole skeleton of something. And I'm just like wow,
and and and I don't know if it's the universe
or if it's them, but I and now that I'm older,
and I think I realized that it's that it's them

(12:08):
that they can you know, that they can guide you.
And it's it's weird too because my friends, I have
a lot of friends that you know, I have dreams
about the Sasquatch, And that was something that I've heard
a lot of people that have these like Sasquatch experiences,
you know, on these farms or whatever, they you know,

(12:28):
that are close to a clan that their friends would
also have dreams about the Sasquatch. And I was like,
I think, I think that's really cool, and I think
it's a really cool connection that you know, some of
us have with these you know, these beings in the forest,
because they're not just mountain eights. You know, they're smart
and they are they move with the energy in the forest,
and that's something else that's.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Like that that's.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Really hard to understand when you're witnessing it and you
don't really like for a long time, I didn't really
watch a lot of other people's experiences, and I didn't
watch a lot of the you know, the Bigfoot shows
on TV, because you know, it kind of duld your
what to expect, You don't know what to expect, and
I kind of want to go in with a fresh

(13:13):
mind anytime I'm in the woods. I kind of want
to experience something without somebody else's opinion of what it
was supposed to be. I guess, so sitting with them
as an being older now, sitting with them like learning
about glyphs. That's something that I've learned in the last
few years, which I had found all the time. I

(13:34):
just never really well, I guess I knew that that's
what they were, but it was like pictures, but they
call them glyphs. But I find those all the.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Time, and I've I've gotten a lot.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Of pictures of feet and I've never done prince before,
which is something that I've thought, you know, in recent years,
to get into. It's just something that I've never done.
I've I've figured out. I really believe that the Sasquatch cloak,
and I'm one of those people who do believe that
they move with the energy in the forest and that

(14:05):
they can cloak themselves. And the reason that we find
just one solid footprint for Sasquatch is because that's when
they cloak out, or when they when they kind of
portal out, or I guess they always leave one good,
slight footprint behind. So I've found many tracks that lead

(14:25):
to nowhere and just to one solid footprint in the woods.
So that's something that's you know, getting older and trying
to learn these things about them. It's been really cool.
But I realized the older male He's been the one
that's like followed me since I was a kid. And
I recognize him because he has yellow eyeshine. His eyeshine

(14:45):
is like an orange yellow color. The rest of the
clan has like green or blue eyeshine, and his is
almost like an orangish yellow color. And I'd always seen
them when I was a kid and never knew what
it was and realizing it now like that was him,
and that was his eyeshine, and that's the color of
his eye shine, and that's what I've been seeing ever

(15:07):
since I was a kid, So he had been he's
been kind of like, well, I guess, not really following,
but he's always the one that's out first. He's always
the one that's out if it's not the watchers during
the day, he's the one that's always, you know, roaming,
and the rest of the clan stays behind, It stays
up on the mountain, you know, most of the time.

(15:30):
I think deep in the summertime is one of the
biggest and most active times for them, when they're down
and about. I live like next to a pretty big
natural preserve. It's over five hundred acres and then it
backs up to a lake, so they have this whole
mountain side and this whole place to roam, and my

(15:51):
neighbors know about them. My neighbors talk about them often.
I have one neighbor who calls them, well, the bears
that throw rocks, how he describes it. He's an older man,
and a lot of people up there, like where I live,
they don't. They just we just don't. And I guess
it's taboo to talk about sasquatch in general, but you know,
it's like nobody's ever really seen it except for like

(16:13):
me and a couple other people, my sister included, and like,
but the neighbors, you know, they know they're there, they
know they get messed with they you know, they'll have
stuff on their property that gets moved around, stuff in
the garden that gets eat, like our corn. Me and
my neighbors one year our corn got eat. They had

(16:36):
like I think, like two or three juvenile sasquatches in
the clan at the time. And a lot of the
sasquatches don't get in the gardens where I live. Like
that's one thing. You know, they're pretty respectable about our gardens,
but not the juveniles. The juveniles came in when summer
and eat mine and my neighbor's corn, and we only
knew that it was that I was my first year

(16:57):
growing corn and I didn't know where we were supposed
to like double lants of corn so it would have
two stocks so it wouldn't fall over. But yeah, you
could basically blow on the corn that I grew and
it would have fell over. But something came in the
garden and eat all the corn, and none of the stalks.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Had fallen over.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
So I knew something had came in and eaten well
that and the footprints that we found. But my neighbor
told me the same thing, that something had came in
and just eat the corn and nothing else. She said
she didn't know what it was. And I was like, oh,
kind of have a feeling I do. Yeah, And so
so the last few years I've sat with them, and

(17:34):
I guess I'm not out in the woods like I
was when, you know, in the last few years, because
you know, work gets in the way and life gets
in the way. But I still I still have our
gifting spot. We still I still take gifts out there
like apples and fruit and other things. I don't sit
with them as much as I would like to, because again,

(17:56):
life gets in the way and it's I'm not I'm
not out at the farm as much as I always am.
I I travel for work a lot, and I stay.
I'm staying in Middle Tennessee right now, which is near
the land between the lakes. And I'm pretty sure there's
sasquatch out here too, but I've not got to roam

(18:17):
the woods out here like I would prefer. So I've
got a lot of people ask me if I've ever
I had like, like if I've actually touched a sasquatch.
And a couple of years ago, there were our neighbors
run their coon dogs. They usually run their coon dogs
right up like on the property on the property line,

(18:40):
and I could hear their dogs and stuff, and sometimes
their dogs get on our property we have we have
livestock and stuff, chickens and goats, and we have other dogs.
So my sister's boyfriend at the time comes and gets
me and he was like, hey, will you come we
come walk with me. I think there's I think they're

(19:01):
running their dogs. I'm not sure. It sounds like they're
on our property. And I was like, okay, I'll come
with you. So me and him this. We have this
thing where we walk in the woods snow flashlights, you know,
because if you turn your flashlight on, everything knows. Everybody
knows where you are if you're trying to sneak to
the woods. So we get up to the trail and

(19:22):
we get up to the top of the trail and
he goes one way and I go another way because
I'm going to go and head them off, I guess,
and just to see where they are, because if I
go to one side of the property, you can kind
of see the trail coming up. Just to make sure
they're on their side. Well, I went, I ran down
through there, and I ran into this like row of
cedar trees. And when I swung through the trees, and

(19:46):
I ran right into something I thought was a bear,
and I thought, oh my gosh, I'm going to be
eaten by bear. I ran right into it and immediately
it just brunted and I'm just like, oh my god,
it's a bear. And then my dog ran up, and
my dog ran up. We have one big farm dog.
She makes this certain noise when she knows the sasquatcher

(20:08):
in the woods, like she like makes this grunt snort
noise like she knows like them. It's just this weird noise.
So she made that noise and immediately I was like, oh,
she's not scared. What is that? And immediately it turned,
it turned in and it walked off, and I went, oh,
my goodness, I ran face first into a sasquatch and

(20:28):
had no idea that you know, what had happened. And
I was like, I was shook for a minute because,
like I said, honestly, I thought I had ran into
a bear. But I realized that it wasn't a bear
because the way the dog acted, and I just did
there frozen, and sure enough, here I am standing there
just like I just again. I was kind of just

(20:50):
frozen because I was like in shock that it happened.
And my sister boyfriend kind of he was like, what
was that. I was like, you're not gonna believe me.
I was like, I think I ran. I was like,
I run face first into a sasquatch. And I was like,
and I said, I thought it was a bear. I
was like, he was like, I heard he goes, I
heard you go oh. I was like, yeah, sorry, this

(21:12):
the noise I made when I was I thought I'd
run into a bear. Yeah, so so yeah, And I'm
pretty sure it was the big male sasquatch that I
had ran into, you know, And I don't know, like
if he allowed me to run into him, otherwise that
wouldn't happen. He must have just been standing there and
I just I came around the corner and ran through

(21:32):
the woods. So pass ah, that's what I get. And
I'm sure my neighbors have trail cans and stuff, but
watching me sneak through the forest sneaky at all. I
was on the phone with a friend a couple of
years ago and I was outside, well, I was it
was storming, and I was looking outside my window and

(21:53):
I had the the video we had the video chat
on and he was in the window and he was like,
what's in the woods And I was like what. And
I realized that the watcher, one of the watchers, was
in the woods and they could see them and they
were like, there's something in the woods and I was like, oh, yeah,
that's a sasquatch and they're like, you're kidding me. There

(22:15):
was like and it's really funny too, because they're they're
a podcaster and they take a lot of people's stories,
but they're never really in the woods doing their own thing,
and they always wanted to. And here I am just
sitting at my window and watching on video chat and
catch one walk, you know, sitting in the woods. And
I was like, yeah, that's one of the watchers. She

(22:36):
sits up there a lot, and she sits on top
of the ridge where she overlooks like the driveway in
the road and up the creek. So it's just a
really cool spot. Which it's actually one of her gifting
spots that she was sitting at, and it was just
it was really cool because I didn't even honestly, I
didn't even notice her until my friend on the phone
was just like, what is that. There's something in the

(22:56):
woods and I was like, oh, oh, yeah, that's that's
one of the Yeah. I was like she sits out
there during the day. And he was like that's so cool.
He was like, that's crazy that you could just sit
at your window and see them. And I was like, yeah,
in the summertime when they're when they're really active, that's
this is one of their one of their trails, you know.
And I was like, they know they're safe here. I

(23:18):
was like between me and my neighbors. They know they're
safe in this little valley, So it's it's really cool
to you know, it's really cool to even have that
experience where you know that they feel safe around you,
or you know that they'll let you see them like that.
And the fact that I was on the phone and
they let my let somebody on the phone see them
was was wild to me. That was that was something

(23:39):
that's that was really cool that happened. No, I think
if if you're my friend in general and you go
to the proper property with me, I think all my
friends that have wanted to have an experience have had
an experience. I don't take people out there for a
shock factor. I don't take people go out there to like,

(24:00):
you know, traumatize them because I realized real fast that
you can traumatize your friends and it's really not funny.
It's really not it's really not funny to have your
friends scared of the woods, are scared of what's out there.
Not everybody's going to be as receptive, you know, as
I am to see these things. Because I'm really interested
and I'm one of those people. It's not really seeing

(24:23):
as believing I'm I realized it's more like believing is seeing,
because the more you believe, the more you see it.
And it's it's crazy how that happens. But you can also,
like again, you can traumatize your friends. So I don't
try to bring people out to the farm that you
know who who don't want to have an experience. We
won't even mention it. Like I have certain friends who

(24:45):
who just will not talk about it at all, and
we just won't mention it if you're at my house.
So it's one of my mom's actually kind of one
of those people too. Again, she the first time we
saw one, you know, me and my sister told my mom, hey,
this is there's you know, there's a hairy man out
by the creek watching us play. She was just like,
that's your imagination, and you're like, okay, But I realized

(25:08):
now she'll tell you now that she knows they're out there.
She knows they're there. She just pretends that they're not
because it's easier for her to get Maybe my sister liveing.
We have separate houses on the property, so to get
back and forth at night on the property, to go
outside at night and be comfortable, she pretends that they
don't exist. So she's one of those people and that's fine. Again,

(25:32):
not everybody is receptive, you know, to being able to accept,
you know, what they're seeing or to accept you know,
what's out there. Again, we have the one older neighbor
who calls you know, calls them bears that throw rocks.
So so it is.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
What it is.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
But you know, I think living out in the country
and being you know, country folks, it is harder to
know that the stuff out there because you tell people that,
you you know, not a lot of people share their
story about what they've seen, but if you shared your story,
they're more receptive to be like, hey, yeah, I've seen
this too, or this is going on. And that's kind

(26:07):
of what happened with me. I started telling people, you know,
started telling some of my neighbors about like what, you know,
stuff that was happening or that you know, I'm pretty
sure that we have sasquatch here, you know, there's a
bigfoot out here. And they're like, oh, yeah, well, well
I did see something. And they'll finally come up with this,
you know, they they'll all have a story, you know,
they saw something cross the road on them one night,

(26:29):
or they were out at the barn, and you know,
something was standing in the woods watching them, and you
know they didn't know what it was. And all of
a sudden, you realize that all these people in your
area are having these experiences too. They've just been too
afraid to talk about it, or again, it's just not
something that you really talk about when you're when you
live in the sticks. So a few years ago I

(26:52):
had a friend of house, bless her heart, her and
her brother spend a lot of time with me at
my house, especially after my dad died, and we were
having stuff, like you know, stuff was messing with us.
But I realized now that again the Sasquatches at the
time they had like three juveniles. And this is that
same period of time where I had my garden and

(27:15):
my friends were staying with me, and we were out
one night, we just got home. We were loading the
car or unloading the car one to the other and
I have chihualas and I have a At the time,
I had a three pound, tiny blondech wala. She was again,
she's like three pounds. All my dogs turned and ran

(27:37):
up on the porch, no clear reason, just me and
my friends setting here talking. My friend was actually on
the phone, I think, with her girlfriend and they were
breaking up, so they were in like this crying, screaming
fight on the phone and she's on the other side,
and you know, she's like she gets off the phone
and she's still crying, and I'm just like, it's gonna

(27:59):
be okay to dude, you know whatever, You'll find another girlfriend.
And from the woods, you can hear something making fun
of my friend crying, and we both kind of stop,
and she kind of she stops crying. She's still sniffling.
She's like, what's that And I was like, I think
something's making fun of you and she was like what

(28:19):
and she's she's like listening again, and the thing starts
to make fun of her again, crying. It sounds like
her crying, and I was I start to laugh because
it's funny, and she's like, that's not funny, and she
kind of like laugh cries, and it immediately mocked her
laugh crying, and which made us both like start kind

(28:39):
of laughing. And she came around to my side of
the car and she's like, I was like, she knew
it was a sasquatch because she's been in my house
before and she was like, but she's never had them like, actually,
I guess interact with her. She's definitely been like I
go to see my pigs at the barn all the time,
and she would come with me, and the sasquatch would follow,
and they would do the thing where they walk with

(29:00):
you and you could hear them walking with you, but
as soon as you stop, they stop. And that was
the only other experience that she had had. So she
comes around to my side of the car and she's
like laugh crying because she's like, it's making fun of me.
And I was like, I told you. I was like,
it's probably tired to hear any cry she's I was like,
it's probably just trying to make you laugh, to make
you feel better or whatever. And about the time I

(29:21):
said that again, my other dogs had already ran up
on the porch, except for my three pound Chiuaa and
my three pound little Chiuala turns and runs directly towards
the bridge which goes over the creek, which on the
other side of it was where the noise was coming from.
And here she goes run right towards the bridge, and
about that time, one of the sasquatches comes across the bridge,

(29:42):
waving its arms and making this like funny noise, kind
of like if just like if somebody was trying to
mess with you. I guess my friend college she was
standing there with me. She was just she was just like,
oh my god, oh my god. And my little bitty
dog here's running right towards it and it runs into
the woods and it was gone. And I was like,

(30:05):
all right, that's probably one of the funniest experiences that
I ever had with the Sasquatch and a friend being there,
because they were totally making fun of her crying and
they and honest, honestly, it was really it was. It
wasn't funny that that she was going through what she
was going through, but it was funny because she was
out there on the phone and then they started making

(30:25):
fun of her immediately and she was crying about, you know,
and then immediately it was funny because these things made
fun of her, and she immediately felt it wasn't She
wasn't sad about her girlfriend breaking up with her anymore.
She was just like sad about or she wasn't sad
at all. She thought it was funny. She was she
like called her friends and was like, oh yeah, she
was like, I was up here and I broke up

(30:46):
with my girlfriend. But then the sasquatches started making fun
of me, so yeah, I was like, yeah, I guess
that's I guess they tried to make her feel better.
But that's I think that's some one of the funniest
stories I think I have as far as like sasquatches
them friends go, the other people have only ever experienced either,
Like my cousins. I've had a couple of cousins that

(31:06):
live with me, and they they had experiences they were
living with me, I think when when I was like twelve,
and they when the screaming started that summer, and so
they were there when that happened. And as they got older,
they still come up to the farm. And my cousin, uh,

(31:28):
we had we had a couple different things happened when
he was there at the house. And again it was
at the same time right for my dad died and
there was right after like they had these three juvenile sasquatches.
Which is crazy, how much like how much stuff like
the juveniles actually get into when you know they're around,

(31:48):
like in it. And over the years now I realized
that it's been mostly them doing any of the messing around,
you know, and it's definitely not it's definitely not the
other one. So any time time that anything's being like
thrown or like, you know, just messed with, I just
know that they have juveniles, which is cool because they
usually keep the little ones up until it's like until

(32:10):
they're so big, so you know when they're when they're
messing around with stuff, they're big enough to be out
and about and there's never more than like like three
is like the highest number I've ever seen in juveniles.
And that was just at one time, and the rest
of the time you see the one or two. But
my cousin was there and something was messing with this,
and we were like I knew, I knew it was them.

(32:31):
They had been down on the other side of the
creek and they were like like just like throwing stuff
and making noises, and then throwing stuff and making noises,
but they weren't really being like.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Like I got it.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
They weren't really hid about it. You could definitely tell
that they were on the other side of the creek
and where they were, and my cousin was down on
his van and he had the van door open, and
he'd walk around to the other side and was getting
something on the other side of the van, and something
ran across the creek and came up, lammed his van
door shut, and ran back across the creek, and he

(33:04):
was like he came. I was standing on the porch
watching the whole thing, and he comes up and he
was like, did you see that? Did you see what happened?
He's like, there was a little one, he said, didn't
came and run over and it slammed my van door shut.
And I was like, yeah, I totally saw. You totally
saw that. I was like, I told you they've been
like messing around. I was like, I said, I told you,

(33:27):
I think it was the little ones. But about that
time he's telling me, like, you know, that was crazy
that that it actually ran that close to him and
was that close to him. About that time, something screamed
up in the mountain. When I say I never heard
those screams again, that was probably a lot. This thing
screamed and you could tell it was like mad scream

(33:50):
like it was just like whatever. And immediately the little
juvenile sasquatches immediately went right back up the haller and
didn't hear nothing for the rest of the night. So
I had in my mind of feeling that they weren't
supposed to be out there doing what they were doing,
and they'd snuck off or whatever. And yeah, so somebody
had come to look for them. And as soon as
that thing screamed, the crickets stopped, the frog stopped. I mean,

(34:14):
you can, I mean, it sounded like the Korea could
dried up, it was so silent outside. But yeah, they
you could just immediately see all three little sasquatches all
run up the mountain and go right back to where
they were supposed to be. So that was pretty cool.
And it's funny too because a lot of them, a
lot of my experiences are just me by myself outside
just just listening to them. And like I've I've figured

(34:39):
out a lot about like the tree knocks and stuff
that we hear. A lot of the time, they're not
tree knocks. A lot of the time. They're just using
their mouth and they're like they're making these like popping
and clicking sounds that sounds like tree knocks. Not saying
that they don't tree notck, because they do. They rock
knock too, But a lot of the tree knock things
that we think we hear are actually just them used

(35:00):
their mouths. Yeah, so it's really cool. So a lot
of the time, if you go outside and if you
click them pop, if you can make popping noises, which
I don't recommend a bunch of people going outside making
a bunch of noises to creatures they don't really know
that much about. But a lot of the time you
can get answers back. Like I tell my friends, if
you've outside and you hear the rock, if you hear

(35:21):
the knocks, you know, if you like click back at them,
you know, use your mouth and like kind of knock
back at them, and a lot of the time they'll
knock back and you'll know it's them. I think sometimes
we use that same method, like when I go outside
and I wonder if it's them, because I know they
know I'm there, Because as soon as you're outside, they
know if they're out there, they know you're out there.
Same thing with the woods. As soon as you walk

(35:43):
into the woods. Most if there's those families assquatch there,
they know you're in the woods. They know you're there
already most of the time. But the happiest experience I
think was still the same time. I think when the
clan showed itself to me, I think was probably like
the happiest time or like even even though like I

(36:03):
was having a moment, I think, you know, after my
dad passed, being out in the woods with them really
really brought me out of a lot of my depression
and just being out in the woods and I think
them coming to visit me like that kind of brought
me out of like just kind of reminded me that
there's a lot of like magic still in the world

(36:25):
and that you know, there was just just a lot
out there, you know, that's really cool. And me and
my dad really enjoyed, enjoyed fastquatching together, you know, because
it was something that we figured out real quick what
it was and knew that it was out there, and
then knew that they were even around where we lived,
which was really cool. But sitting in the sitting sitting

(36:48):
out there, and like like I said, I you know,
find a tree and sit there with your back to it,
and sit in the woods. That's the best way to
bond with these things, just to sit and not be scared.
And that's the thing about like I can't imagine being
a creature for like years and years being in the
woods and every time something saw you that it was
scared instead of like, you know, you can't imagine that

(37:12):
kind of energy that that like that that brings all
the time. It's really kind of it's kind of like
in a way, it's kind of sad when you think
about it that every time, you know, a lot of
people see these sasquatches and people are immediately scared and
they can feel that, they can feel that that you're scared,
you know, And so it's just one of those things.

(37:33):
It's it's like anytime I go in the woods that
try not to not to be fearful of whatever's out there,
you know. And that's another thing. It's it's really hard
to sit in the woods at night and not be
scared of stuff. It really is. And it's something that
I've had to practice. But as soon as like, as
soon as like the fear watches the way and you're
not scared and already being able to go out into

(37:53):
the woods and no gun, no flashlight, whatever and sit
just by yourself like that is already you know, you're
already stripped yourself of a lot of the fear so,
but like it made I think, it made sitting with
them easier, It made bonding with them easier because like
I you know, like I know, I can go in

(38:15):
the woods now. Now I have went on the backside
of my property from my neighbor's house down the road
and came into the backside of my property one time,
and I lost hours of the day, like I was
on one side of the property and then honestly, I
thought I got adducted by aliens for a couple of hours.
But honestly, I don't know what happened. But I was

(38:36):
walking through the woods and it just felt like like well,
I didn't feel like anything. I was just walking through
the woods. And then it was almost dark and I
was on the other side of the woods like where
I hadn't started, and I had no memory of how
I got there. And I don't have any memory of
walking through the woods. Now. I don't know if something happened.
I don't know if like if I like I've heard

(38:58):
I've heard other people talk about sasquatches being able to
like I guess zapy or something. I'm not sure if
that happened, but I do have like the one time
that I snuck into the backside my property and didn't
didn't go my normal way. I did get hours of
my life missing. There was like two or three hours.
Like I said, I was walking through the woods and

(39:19):
I was on the other side when I kind of
came to And there's that's something that you know, I
can't explain, but I'm gonna you know, I've been told
that it could have been sasquatch related, or it could
have been related, you know, related to them. And again
and it makes sense because I came in on the
backside of the property and kind of like kind of

(39:40):
came in like where I don't normally come. But you know,
I don't know now like if I know, if you
have kids or if you have small children. Most of
the time, like if you're if you're near where like
sasquatches are and kids can yell about one hundred percent

(40:00):
of the time, if the sasquatches are out and there's
kids yelling, they'll answer back to the kids, especially if
you're trying to like you know, call them or whatever. No,
Like my nieces and my nephew, my niece, since she
was little, she's she's always been able to like she's
like her mother's my sister's kids. So she makes these
like noises and she always gets answered. So anytime she's

(40:23):
out in the woods, she always like screams and scares
her brother a bit. But like she's she's sixteen now,
so she's since she's been little, since she was about
like you know, five or six, she's been able to
like you know, scream or whatever, make these noises and
they answer her back. You know, they don't answer a
lot of us back. We do it a lot of

(40:44):
the time, but you know, they don't answer us like
they did when we were kids. And I think that's
kind of really cool. And I think that's kind of
like why that thing was like screaming in the woods,
you know when I was twelve, was because my sister
would be outside screaming in the woods all the time,
and it was just answering her. But yeah, but it's cool,

(41:05):
Like if you have kids, they like one hundred percent
of the time they usually answered your children back. Not
to say to use children in fad or anything, but yeah,
if you have a family of sasquatches near your farm, yeah,
the best way to tell if they're there or not
is to have the kids go out and scream for
them certain stuff that's happened that's on the farm. Like

(41:29):
me and my dad and my friend of mine, we
were cutting trees down, just up in the woods. We're
cutting trees down and we were dragging them with a
chain and a truck and we were standing out there
were we had stopped and it was taking a little
break and my friend we were talking to my dad.
My dad kept just like, you know, acting like he

(41:50):
was hearing something and I was like, what are you hearing?
He was like no, He's like I saw something. And
I was like, I was like, what'd you see? And
he was like, well, I'm not sure. That time, something
through like a huge rock and it landed like, I
don't know, two feet from all of us standing there
in that circle. And my friend was like, what was that.

(42:11):
Something just threw a rock at us, and yeah. Me
and my dad were like, oh yeah, there's sasquatch in
these woods. And my friend was like, uh, are you serious.
He was like, it threw a rock at us. He
wants us to leave. I was like, uh, I don't really.
If he wanted to hit us with the rock, he
could have. I was like, I think he's just letting
us know he's there. I was like, my dad, my

(42:33):
Dad's like, oh, yeah, he's been out here the whole
time we've been cutting trees. I think he's just messing
with us. And my friend was just like, no, he
wants us to leave. He wants us to leave now.
And I was like, I've loved a hair all my life, buddy,
I don't have nowhere to go. Like, yeah, it's so
I've definitely had some of my friends had like freaked
like like been freaked out by them. But again, I

(42:54):
tried to explain to my friend, if he wanted to
hit us with the rock, they definitely could have. They
have great aim. That's it's something.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
That they're really good at.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
I have been walking with a friend who got hit
in the face with the hickory nut, and we were
walking out in the field in the middle of the
field and it hit him square in the face and
he wasn't like and he's not really he's not my
friend now, so he's like, he's not.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Totally they weren't totally wrong.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
About I think hitting him in the face with the
hickory nut. But I think he's the only person that
ever actually got hit. Hit. I've been hit one time,
but again I think it was the juvenile sasquatches at
the same time that all was going on. It was
the only time I've ever been hit. I mean, there's

(43:44):
been other times I've been with other friends and stuff,
and seeing like we are now, I don't know. There
was this one time me and two friends were going
walking and we decided to walk up the road and
at the time, they were building like this natural barrel
beside my house and they just they just made the

(44:05):
road for it and that's all. And I was like,
we can walk up there, you know, it's the middle
of the night. Well, we get to like we get
up to the top of the road or the top
of my driveway, and we hear a dog barking and
it's like behind my neighbor's house. And I was like, oh,
so I hollered for the dog, just not really thinking
much of it. Hollered for the dog, and the dog
came and it was just somebody's random dog comes up

(44:28):
to us, comes and starts walking with us. We're like, okay,
so we got this random dog walking with us. That's cool.
I'm glad it's a friendly dog. And I didn't just
accidentally call a mean dog to us.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
But we get walking up the road and we get.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Up to where they this road out for this this
burial reserve, and we get halfway up the little the
little gravel driveway and the dog lays down in front
of us and starts to whine. And my friend was like,
my friend was shooting Donnelly. She was like, I don't
think the dog wants us to go any further. And
I was like, oh, well, that just makes me want

(45:01):
to keep walking. I don't know about you, but I
think I'm going to continue to keep walking. And she was.
And the dog kept running in front of us and
laying down and whining. You know, I don't know, I
don't know this dog, but I know dog's actions. And
she was probably right, the dog was trying to stop us.
So we walked a little further and we had there
was three of us there. The other friend was kind
of like way behind us, but me and her would

(45:22):
came around and top the top of this little gravel driveway,
and about that time, something stepped into the bushes. All
you saw was it step into the bushes.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
And I was.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
Like, did you see that? And she goes, yeah, that
was a sasquatch, And I was like, that was a sasquatch,
because a lot of the time, like if I'll make
people tell me what they thought they saw, not me
being like, oh that was that. So make sure that they,
you know, that they get a clear view or they
get their clear head about what they saw, and me
not trying to talk into something that I you know
that I already knows there or whatever. But it stepped

(45:57):
into the bushes and it's just like silence, and the
dog runs up to where it stepped into the bushes
at and it was pointing, and I was like, all right,
this dog saw it. We saw it. It's pointing to
where it was. You don't hear anything. If it was
still standing in front of us. It wasn't making any

(46:17):
sound whatsoever, which was crazy because we were like we
stood there. My other friend finally catches up and he
was like, what's going on? And we tell him and
he was like he was like, oh yeah, no, He's
like I saw that step into the bushes from down there.
And I was like yeah. He's like, well, where is
it now? And I was like, it has to be
standing right there and it's little. It was just a

(46:37):
little patch of trees and patch of grass. And I said,
it has to still be standing right there. I sai,
I haven't heard a footstep. I haven't. You know, it's
got to be right there. And about that time, the
dog runs in to right there, to where that thing
stepped into the wood, where the thing stepped into the woods.
And when I tell you that, you don't hear nothing.
I didn't hear a stick break, I didn't hear the
dog anymore. I didn't hear anything, none of us. It

(47:01):
was just so weird and so like it was like
the dog stepped into just like nothing iss and was gone,
and we were like started calling the dog, nothing nothing.
Didn't know what to do, so we turned around and left.
I was like, that was so weird, because I was like,
why didn't we hear where the dog went? Why didn't

(47:23):
it make a noise? Why didn't why did the sticks
that the dog was walking on stop making noise as
it walked into this part of the woods.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
So weird.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
Still can't explain it. But we get back out on
the road and get back to my driveway and we
hear the dog again, and it's exactly where it was
to begin with. When we first started this journey, it
was behind my neighbor's house again, and I hollered for it,
and it came running through the creek and came right
back to it. It was so weird. It was one
of the like, it was probably one of the weirdest

(47:55):
sasquatches experiences that I had, because I know that that's
what that was that stepped off into the woods like
me and my friend saw it. She saw it. She
told me what she saw, like I saw it, and
my other friend saw it even from where he was
on down the driveway. And again the dog went into
the woods, didn't make a noise. Can't explain why you

(48:16):
didn't even hear a stick break like after the dog
went into that little spot in the woods. It's just silence.
And again, didn't hear the dog. The dog didn't follow
us back, didn't hear anything. Called that dog for a
minute and was like all right. When the dog didn't
come back, we left and again we got back to
the top of the driveway going back to the house
and the dog was in the same spot as when
we called it. When we got there. It was just

(48:37):
a really just strange strange thing that happened. It's one
of those ones that I can't explain. And I still
think about that all the time as an adult now
and think, I mean, like because I mean I was
in my early twenties. I'm thirty eight now, so uh
is one of those ones that I'm still stumped by
what happened or what happened to the dog or you know,

(49:00):
I guess if you know, if you believe in portals,
that could be a thing. But yeah, I'm really grateful
to be able to have this, like these experiences with
the with with you know, the sabe or the Sasquatch.
You know, I'm grateful for the life that I live,
and I'm really grateful to be able to live in
the Appalachian Mountains because there's some really strange things out here.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
My big Foot sighting happened outside of Fox Creek, Alberta, Canada.
My name is John. I'm from Rockeview County, Alberta. My
sighting happened in nineteen ninety one. I was working in
the oil fields and up north. I was working on
a seismic crew. And what seismic is it's oil and

(49:49):
gas exploration. So were the we're the guys that lay
down the lines and recording boxes to see where the
oil and gas is under the grad. So we were
on a crew and we were running our equipment down
a seismic line. So picture a road made by a

(50:10):
caterpillar right through the middle of the bush so our
trucks can get through. So what happens is the line
goes straight through everything slews ponds. So we came up
to a crossing. It was a big river crossing and
it's about January, so it was minus thirty degrees. Rivers
are frozen solid. So the process we have to do

(50:31):
is we have to take the equipment off the trucks
and walk it in from either side. So when I
was done, I ended up on the other side of
the river and I jumped in one of the trucks
to head back around. So you know, up north in
the bush there's very few roads and very very few bridges.

(50:54):
So to swing around back to where the other guys
were was about an hour drive. So we were driving
through the bush and everything's white and it's dark out
because up in Canada in the wintertime it's pitch black
from you know, four o'clock in the afternoon until you know,

(51:15):
eight o'clock the next morning, so it wasn't nighttime, but
it was. It was dark so anyway, so the moon
was out, everything was covered in snow. Everything was white.
So we were coming across a bridge and I was
in the passenger seat of this truck and it was
a pretty long bridge, and the moon was out, so

(51:36):
you could see everything play his day because everything's white
from the snow. So I was in the truck and
I was looking from the past your window down to
the river. And what I saw was I saw a
very massive being walking like a human, but it wasn't
really walking. It was like marching. It was taking very

(51:59):
long stride and swinging its arms. And I was, I was,
I was stunned, like there was somebody with me in
the truck. But I couldn't talk because I couldn't stop
staring at what I was seeing.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
So I was.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
I just kept staring at it out the window, and yeah,
it was. It was walking like a human, but it
was walking in long strides, swinging its arms. It was
very large and it was black. And once we crossed
the bridge, I kind of snapped out of it and
I looked at the driver of the truck and I said,
you know, I just I just saw a bigfoot. And

(52:34):
he looked at me and said, yeah, right, you know,
and started kind of laughing at me. So I was like, okay, whatever,
and I was it was like it was stunning, right.
So when I got back to camp with all the boys,
I like, I was twenty years old, right, I'm a
young guy, right, and I'm you know, telling him what
I saw, and you know, everyone's kind of laughing and like,

(52:56):
you know, the province next to us in BC, they
actually have a bigfoot Matt Scott for one of the
beer companies, and a commercial shows this bigfoot walking through
the bush carrying a case of beer. So they were
laughing at me, saying, O was he carrying a case
of beer? Was it a moose standing on its hind legs?

Speaker 4 (53:14):
You know?

Speaker 3 (53:14):
So I just, you know, I just took it and
just whatever. And I never really told anybody. So I
just wanted to get my story out because I'm a
person that doesn't believe things unless I see it. And yeah,
what I saw was you know, it was unreal and

(53:34):
it'll stick with me forever now because that's my story.

Speaker 5 (53:40):
Well that's it for tonight's show. If you've had a
