I Saw a Baby Sasquatch! - My Bigfoot Sighting Episode 172

Tonight’s guest, LaVone, grew up in Great Falls, Montana, in an area her mother called the flats. LaVone and her family lived on a 10-acre property that was next to what she believes was a Native American reservation. Back then, she used to go horseback riding with a Native American girl who was a few years older than she was. One day, in 1976, LaVone went for a ride with that girl past a rock quarry that was close to where she lived. Normally, she avoided the area around the quarry due to a neighbor who routinely allowed his dangerous dogs run loose there. The day they went for that ride, LaVone didn’t see those dangerous dogs, luckily. What she did see, though, was something that took her by surprise much more so than those dogs would have. We hope you’ll tune in and listen to her share the details of what happened that day and share the details of other Sasquatch-related experiences she’s had over the years.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, you there, thanks for tuning in.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
You're ready for another episode of my big Foot Sighting.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
All right, then let's do this.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Seen a bunch of rundown no horse towns, where the
church at the backbone lows and the bow and the
fasting melodies cove in with the bomb man rose with
the roofs run deep beyond the nose of the busy streets,
with the songs of the South of su Then when

(00:34):
I hear the promp porch picking down home rhythm bringing
out I Don't Run from Banjung music.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yeah, if you've had a Bigfoot sighting and would like
to be a guest, please go to my Bigfoot Sighting
dot com and let me know.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
My big with sightings began in nineteen seventy six. We
were living in a Great Falls, Montana and what I
remember my mom calling this area.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
She always called it the flats.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
It was up near the airport in a Great Falls
and we lived next to what I believed was a reservation.
We lived in a small trailer. We had about ten
acres surrounded by alfalfa fields. There was a quarry that

(01:38):
was basically at the end of our ten acre fence,
and then across the road. My mom always called it
the quarry. I've never been down there, so I actually
do not know if it was an actual quarry. I
used to go horseback riding with a Native American girl.

(02:00):
I was eight and a half almost nine years old
in seventy six, and she taught me how to ride bareback. Now,
mind you, I had a very small Shetland pony and
her pony was a little bit bigger than mine. The
only way that I could ride with her is if
I rode bare back, bare back, and then with just

(02:21):
a rope, you know, for no bit or anything like that,
just a rope around the nozzle. We never had issues
going horseback riding. You know, back in seventy six, it
was very safe for two young girls to go riding
far away from home. We set out that morning, it

(02:47):
was like late, it was like a late afternoon, and
riding the horses long, we decided to ride along the
rock quarry. We have never done that before because of
the neighbor. Our neighbor had some pretty vicious dogs and
he felt that he owned that dirt road. So when
he was home, he would let his dogs loose and

(03:10):
they would, you know, they would chase whoever's on that
on that road, chase them, chase them on home. Well,
he wasn't home, his dogs were not home, so we
figured it was safe. We decided to go that way,
and we're just strolling along on the horses. The horses
started to get a little antsy, but we didn't pay

(03:30):
no mind to it, just tried to settle them down.
We smelt something really bad. We did not know what
it was. I'm assuming it was dead animal. You know,
being eight and a half years old, I'm not familiar with,
you know, other sense than just dead animal. We covered

(03:51):
our noses, you know, we complained. We were saying, oh gosh,
I was really stinky, just covering our noses and just
still walking along. And our horses ears, you know, when
they prep up and they turn, it's usually letting. They're letting,
you know, like in that direction. There's something going on.

(04:12):
We just still kept going. We seen a big, a big,
huge rock came flying up and it landed on right
in front of the fence, the barber bar fence that
divided the road to the quarry, so it didn't hit us,

(04:33):
but I wanted to say at the time, basketball sized rock,
and we were thinking it was just the Native boys
down there down at the bottom of the hill, just having,
you know, having fun teasing us. So we're we're yelling
at them, stupid boys. You know, we're not scared, and
we just continue on riding. And then we heard like

(04:57):
a roar, like a cross between and a roar and
a growl, now, something that I've never heard before. I
couldn't even say if it was a bear. It didn't
sound like a bear, didn't sound like mountain lion, and
I don't know if it was human or not. But
we were still yelling at the boys, stupid boys. You know,

(05:21):
we're not afraid of you, that kind of thing, and
just still kept riding. Now, my friend, who was a
few years older than me, her horse was ahead of mine,
and hers was like towards the right of me. My
horse was behind her on the left, so basically my
horse's head was practically touching her horses butt. And she

(05:47):
turned to the left, which would make her look towards
the quarry and the barboar fence, and I just looked
up at her, watching her, And then she turned her
horse around real quick and said, we're going home now,
mind you. Her father always told me, if you're going

(06:09):
to ride with her, you need to listen to her.
She knows this land, she knows what's going on, she
knows what's safe what is not safe. If she says
you're to leave, you're to leave. I did exactly that.
I turned my horse around, ride along with her. I
didn't even bother looking at what she looked at, started

(06:32):
to head back. She did her little horse call, and
she just high tailed it home. Now, my home was
much closer to this where we turned around. My home
was much closer, if you like, basically ten acres worth
of field, because our land was just one rectangle ten acres.

(06:54):
When I got to my road, she was already halfway
down because she was high tailing it. I decided, well,
I better high tail at home. When I got home,
I took my horse, Mini, that was her name. I
put her in the field, locked the gates, went inside
the house. I was alone that day. Back then, it's

(07:17):
you know, parents go to work, kids stay at home
the summer. It was okay for me to be home alone.
We've never worried about anything. I walked into the trailer,
and as I was walking in, I caught something at
the left of my eye, like out in the alfalfa
field that was adjacent to our home, across the dirt road,

(07:41):
and I'm thinking it was a freshly cut alfalfa field.
And not many people know at first and second and
third cutting is, but I want to say it was
like the second cutting that year. I went and I
went to the window because I was thinking, what is this?

(08:03):
Is this a big man? This is a big man,
you know, And I'm looking out there, and at the
time I didn't understand distance, but now I do, so
now I can say that was about fifty yards. So
I'm looking about fifty yards out into the alfalfa field
and I see this dark, huge brown man running but

(08:30):
it had like massive legs, and all I could think
of was that is one big football player. That's all
I could think of. This is a football player running
across the field, but he's doing weird motions because it
was his long strides with the legs, and if I
could describe it from the distance, it almost appeared as

(08:54):
if he was wearing like a hairy trench coat no neck,
so the head was not The head was pretty much round,
it wasn't sure that conical like steep like heads. So
that's what made me think man, and I ducked down

(09:16):
real quick because I'm thinking it's running towards my home.
I'm by myself. Now I know how to work a
bb gun, but I didn't know how to work, you know,
shoot the twenty two that was leaned up against the
the front door, and I'm thinking, well, door's not locked.
And I just sat there for like a brief not

(09:39):
even two seconds maybe, so I snuck back up to
look out and it was gone. So I rushed through
all the windows from like the right side of the
home to where it happened to the kitchen to the left.
And this is all flat land, so there's no trees

(10:02):
that it could have hid behind. The houses are the
first house is maybe two acres like across the way,
and then the other one is a good another ten
acres away. So I was thinking to myself, like, this
man moved awfully quick. Where did it go? You know,

(10:26):
I've had some people question me and saying, well, maybe
it dropped down to all fours, And I'm thinking there's
no way. If it dropped down to all fours.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
I would have seen like.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Like maybe a dirt mound, because then it would have
looked like a just a dirt mound out there. Now
I was scared, I you know, by myself. My mom
came home. I didn't bother telling her because if I
would have told her this, she would never allow me
to go out and go horseback riding. Because sometimes I'd go,

(11:00):
I'd go alone. I had no fear back then. I
still don't have any fear, and that's what worries my family. Now.
I'm an extremely adventurous person, always have been, and it
started from childhood. I am. I think I was a
little I believe I was a little nervous that day

(11:22):
because I just didn't quite understand what this man was doing.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
Where did he you know, where did he go? Why
was he so big?

Speaker 2 (11:29):
You know, how could he run so fast? That night, no,
three nights, excuse me, three nights after that, my mom
listening to the news, and I was in the kitchen.
The news brought up a sighting a bigfoot in our area,

(11:50):
and I just kind of was watching and listening, and
you know, I still didn't say anything to my mom.
And you know, I remember my mom commenting and laughing
big but huh, you know, and just laughing and and
my stepfather at the time was saying, oh, it's probably
a bear. So you know, I didn't put two and

(12:11):
two together. I'm thinking, you know what, I don't know
what it was. I'm not going to pay no attention
to it, like if it was big but or not.
You always listen to your parents. If they say it's
a bear, it's a bear. But that day, what I
saw was not a bear. Then shortly after that, a
few days after that, on the news, they said that

(12:32):
they found an ape costume like a gorilla costume by
the airport, outside the men's bathroom, on the floor. So
I'm thinking, oh, well, maybe that's what that was. You know,
I'm thinking, all right, So I didn't pay no mind
to it. But when they showed the costume, I'm thinking,

(12:55):
that didn't look like what I saw. You know. I
left it at that. I never never thought about it,
never allowed it to bother me. But that image, the smell,
the rock, the growl, that has never left my mind,

(13:16):
not once. I can't say I was troubled, but I
would say my mind until this day, I'm fifty eight
years old. I'm still processing it because it's something that
happened that's unbelievable. It didn't take until my early twenties

(13:41):
and maybe even my teens to understand that it's a
possibility that that was a sascatch, understanding the characteristics of
its behavior, the rock, the smell, you know, the howl
I am. I even told a friend once, and you know,

(14:03):
I got made fun of, so I thought, I'm I'm
not going to tell another soul. I'm just going to
keep it to myself. I did tell my husband prior
to us getting married, because I figured he better know
like all of me. I just figured, you know, I
gotta I gotta tell you something. And I told him

(14:25):
and I said, I honestly believe that it was a sasquatch.
I said, there's no other explanation.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
To that.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
I mean, how how does a large man run through
an alfalfa field so fast and then disappear, you know,
within within a snap, just disappear. Now, we all heard
stories that they're quick, you know, they're they're extremely elusive,

(14:57):
they know how to hide. But where did this creature
hide this day? Did it hide underneath our trailer? Did
it make it that quick and hide underneath our trailer?
Because there were parts of the skirting that was open possible,

(15:19):
But I don't think any man at that with that
stature be able to run and disappear like that. There's
just there's just no way. I mean, I think I
would have been able to see him still running down
the road. You know, we had two roads. We lived
on the tee, and I didn't see that. And it's

(15:40):
an image that I'll never forget. It's a day that
I'll never forget. Do I feel honored and blessed? I
guess I could say, I could say yeah, because not
very many people get to see these things. Like I said,

(16:00):
I don't have no explanation. Now. A few days later,
I went horseback riding with the Native American and she
never brought it up what she saw that day. And
I do know with some tribes they don't discuss it.
And I'm wondering. I wish I remembered her name, because

(16:22):
I would love to call her and say, what did
you see that day? But I do not remember her name.
We moved, I believe that year that summer. At the
end of the summer, we moved down to Florida. But
she never mentioned a word, and we never went back
down towards the quarry. Ever, again, it was strictly on

(16:46):
the res and we just stayed there. And that's pretty
much the encounter there in Great Falls Now, all through
camping that we have always done when we were in Montana,

(17:06):
I don't think i've ever I have never encountered anything
in the woods. Charlie my mom's step my mom's boyfriend
at the time. I call him my stepdad because he
was like a father to me. He always taught me,
you know, when you go into the woods, you're to

(17:28):
ask the woods. You know, before you enter it is
okay to speak to the trees, play with the water,
play with the soil. And he wasn't even native. I
believe that he was just brought up to do that.
He was an avid hunter, but he also believed in
being an adventuress, and I've always done that. I didn't

(17:56):
hear no more about Bigfoot. I would just hear stories,
you know, throughout my life. We recently moved here to Pennsylvania,
on the east east side of Pennsylvania, and we're talking
to my husband about Bigfoot and I said, there's so

(18:19):
many movies now about you know, Bigfoot, And I said,
and how horrific they are? And I said, you know,
and I would chuckle and I said, man, I'm like,
I'm wondering if Bigfoot I wasn't following me, it was
gonna take me home and you know and eat me.
I mean I was a chunky girl, so you know,
I joke around with him and and you know how
Facebook will pick up your your talking and stuff like that. Well,

(18:46):
a little over two years ago, I had bigfoot stuff
just popping up in my feed on Facebook and there
was a bigfoot conference going on north of US, and
I thought, you know what, I told my husband, I'm like,
let's go to this Bigfoot conference. I said, I want

(19:08):
to see what it's all about. And I said, people
meeting and talking about bigfoot. And I said, and he says, absolutely,
let's go. That's where I met Mary Fabian, I met
Gwendolyn Purcell, I met a a few other people and
they were talking about their encounters. I then felt safe

(19:30):
enough to open up and I told them my encounter
in Montana, and it literally brought me to tears. I
can't like you can hear it in my voice. I
still get a little like choked up about it. It
just felt really good to talk to somebody that wasn't

(19:53):
going to ridicule mea you know, and a lot of
confirmed to me and said it's most likely you witnessed
a bigfoot. There's no other explanation none, And I'm okay
with that. So that actually made me just feel a

(20:15):
lot better. And they were talking about researching, and I
had asked, I'm thinking, well, what credentials do you have
that you're going out there and you can research bigfoot.
They said, you don't need credentials to research bigfoot, and
I thought, you don't need to be an avid hunter. No,
you don't need to be an avid hunter. So I

(20:37):
looked at my husband, and my husband's like, oh no.
He just starts shaking his head because he knows, he
knows the new journey's going to begin for him. And
I just turned and I looked at him and I'm like,
I want to do this, and he goes, I already know,
he goes, I already know. He goes, you don't need
to tell me. I said, we need to start researching.
I said, if there is a squatch, I said in

(20:59):
pen Sylvania, I want to go find it. And he's like, woman,
he goes, you're crazy, And I said I am crazy,
and I said, but we need to do this, and
I think it's going to be a blast. So this
is exactly what we did. We geared up. I bought
tracking books, I started to learn how to track. I

(21:20):
love tracking, and it doesn't necessarily mean bigfoot, but I
like finding bear track, coyote tracks, the deer tracks, the
little critter tracks, and gone on a few bigfoot hikes.
Didn't hear, you know, didn't hear or see anything until

(21:45):
I joined up with Mary Fabian and her group and
she actually put me as a lead for Chester County
at the time. And there was a gentleman talking about
dog Man and that I was very much intrigued with

(22:07):
dog Man because I'm thinking, wait a minute, dog Man exists.
And a couple of people said, oh, yes, absolutely, and
another gentleman said, if you want to know anything about
dog Man, you need to call Kirk Greed. May he
rest in peace. He's my buddy and he just passed away.

(22:28):
So I called him, got to be friends with him.
He says, he goes, you want to see a bigfoot
and I said I do, and he says no, he
says it is in a dog Man area. How do
you feel about that. And I thought, well, have you
been there and walked out alive? And he says I have.
And I said, well, then let's go. I felt safe

(22:49):
enough with him, took my son. My husband just had surgery,
so he was in no shape to be hiking down
into and crossing creeks and things like that. So my
son went with me, my son, Kirk Read and another researcher.

(23:09):
We went down to Washington County, PA. And it was
late November. It was pretty cold, pretty cold. We went
down into the holler and just sitting there and it
was starting, you know, it wasn't quite dark yet, and

(23:32):
walking around and stuff like that, and and I had
talked to Kirk and I said, Kirk, and I said,
why do I? I said, why do I feel so
giddy right now? And he says, you're probably all like
he says, maybe you're excited. And I thought, but this
doesn't feel like it's my feelings. And then he says, oh,
you know, I'm thinking was oh oh, And he says

(23:52):
they're I think I think they like you. I think
they're they're connecting with you right now. I'm like, who's they?
And he says Bigfoot? And I said. I said, okay,
now you just opened up a whole new realm for me.
And I said, what do you mean bigfoot in there
like connected with me, contacting me? And he says, well,

(24:15):
you told me. He says, you've seen You've seen one
in seventy six and I said yes. And he was
a strong believer that once you've witnessed I call me
lucive beauties. Now they know that you know that they exist.

(24:36):
And I'm thinking, okay, I'm all right with this because
at the time, I'm just thinking these are just flesh
and blood primates walking around in the woods. Didn't think
anything anything else of their extra little powers that you know,
people claim that they have and that we often wonder

(24:57):
if they do or don't. But we heard snaps like
tree cracks, really loud tree breaks. My son was about
thirty yards away from us, and it was like down
in a little bit of a ravine, closer to the
creek bed, and the ground already was just covered in

(25:20):
leaves because it was fall so everything. Finding tracks was
next to impossible. I can I can do that now though,
I mean two years of tracking, I can find a
track in leaves now. But we turned to look at
my son, and everybody just yelled for Dylan and he's like, yeah,

(25:42):
barg yeah, I heard it. I heard it. When he
you know, he comes back and he walks back up
to us.

Speaker 5 (25:50):
And.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
We were just still. We just discussed that if we
were going to bring the trucks down into the holler,
felt like it was a good place to camp. It's
a good place for possible activity and maybe even a sighting.
And so we decided to walk back up to the
holler and get in the vehicles. And as we were

(26:14):
walking back up to the haller, my son he was
ahead of us, so he goes, he goes, what's that smell?
And I go and smell it? And did it not
bring back all the memories in from Montana. I just
took a big old whiff of it and I turned

(26:35):
and I, you know, I looked at the researchers behind me,
and again Dylan's like, that's really bad, and they just
shook their head and I was like, Dylan, I think
a squatch was at our trucks. And I said, as
we were down in the haller, and I said, I've
heard that they liked to be above and that they'll

(26:56):
watch you from a higher elevation, and he was like,
now I'm not buying it. He goes, I think it's coyote.
That Dylan, you know what coyote smells like. And I said,
We've lived in California long enough, we know the smell.
We know what mountain lion smells like. And I said,
this definitely, I know what deer smells like. This is

(27:16):
not dear, this is not coyote. This is not I said,
it's pretty bad. We got in the trucks and what
we had to do is we had we had to
take our vehicles back to where another researcher was camped
we were. We needed to go get his He had
a car, so we didn't think he was going to

(27:37):
be able to get down into the holler, so we
had to go get his stuff and bring you know,
bring the cars and everything back. As we got back
to the holler, it was it was dark and we
were just hanging out still and we heard one whoop.

(28:01):
Then we heard another whoop on the other side of
the holler, so basically from the above the holler and
one on like on one side and one on the other.
And I just started chuckling, you know, I'm thinking, what,
you know, I've never heard a whoop before, and Kurt goes,
that be a squatch and I'm thinking, Okay, are you

(28:24):
sure we're safe down here? And he says he's like,
I believe so. And I said, well, I feel safe
and I said I don't. I'm not scared. And I said,
so we're good and he says we're good. Let me
back up a little bit apologize. On the way to
go pick up the other researcher's gear. My son told

(28:47):
me he says, when I heard that tree snap, he says,
something growled in my face. And I was like what.
He goes, it growled like as if it was right
there my face, and he goes, there was nothing there.
He goes, that's what I said, I'm coming back. He goes,
because it kind of freaked me out. And I'm thinking, so,

(29:07):
I said, it wasn't in the distance. He goes, no,
it was like right smack in the front of my face.
And I'm thinking, oh, that's kind of that's that's really weird.
And I said, maybe there's something down there more than
just a squatch, you know, And I said maybe spiritual
and he says, I don't know. But as we were
down there, ah some poachers, I'm assuming they were poachers.

(29:32):
You could see him driving up on their trucks and
they were standing on the back of their truck and
shining their lights, and it's shining the lights down on us.
We all kind of ducked down a little bit until
they left, and the other researcher was worried about his
car parked up in the other area up by the creek,

(29:53):
So we decided to get back in the trucks, not
camp down there, go back to the car and camp
up there, because figured he didn't want anything anybody messing
with his vehicle, which I don't I don't blame him.
We were sitting around the fire and it was cold,
I think maybe thirty five degrees at that time. Right there.

(30:16):
It was cold, no tense. We were going to sleep
in the vehicles. We heard coyotes. Everybody's saying coyotes. What
I thought at first it was like a sound of
a siren, like somebody doing a fake siren sound, and
then it just sounded like a bunch of chimpanzees just

(30:38):
going crazy. It brought the hair on the back of
your neck, you know, And that's when I felt a
little like this is not cool, like what's going you know,
what's going on right now? And I told my son,
I'm like, are those chimpanzees And he goes, mom, he says,

(30:58):
you know what coyotes sound like? Kind of thinking that
doesn't sound like coyotes and he goes, no, he goes,
they sound like they're being injured. And the other two
researchers said, yes, those are coyotes, and something's attacking the coyotes,
and don't think of what could possibly be attacking the coyotes.
And that's when Kirk said, it's either a squatch, he says,

(31:23):
or a dog man. And he says they you know,
if the coyotes interfere with the bigfoot hunt, you know
they're gonna they're going to kill the coyotes and or
just let you know, none of us, none of us
even thought to turn our recorders on. We were all
in awe with what was going on because it was loud.

(31:46):
And I'm talking maybe fifty yards fifty two, one hundred
yards away. It was that loud. And my son was like, gosh,
he goes, this is this is even heart this is
heartbreaking just to hear them cry like that, and then
it was one last year help and it was done.
It was silence no more. You couldn't even hear the birds, owls, crickets, whatever,

(32:13):
I mean. Those woods went dead silent. The only thing
that you could hear was the crackling of the fire
and the creek, and then of course us talking. Kirk
looked at me and he says, you still want to
spend the night and I said I do, and he goes,
you're one crazy woman. I said, well, should we leave

(32:35):
and he says no. He goes, if you want to stay,
he says, we'll stay. And I said, I am not scared.
I said, for some reason, I said, I'm maybe I'm
being silly, Maybe maybe I'm done. I don't know. I said,
I'm just not scared. I'm not picking up on fear
at all. And he's like, all right. You know. It

(32:55):
was about maybe eleven thirty twelve o'clock. We decided everybody
was getting pretty much getting tired, so and Dylan and
I had to leave like about four in the morning
because I had another hike to go to the next day.
It was cold, cold, cold inside the truck. I know,

(33:22):
we're just sitting in like in like pins. We were
wrapped up in sleeping bags. I could not sleep. My
son he fell asleep, and all of a sudden, boom
the truck just like something big like moved the truck.
And I slowly started turned my head, you know, and

(33:42):
I'm looking around, and I caught something very large in
the front of the truck. And I'm gonna have to
say it was, you know, a black shadow, because it
was all already you know, fogged over. The frost was
already setting in, and it moved real quick from the
front of the truck, from the passenger side to the

(34:02):
driver's side, real quick. And I looked over at Dylan
and I'm thinking, Dylan, like, you wake and he goes yeah.
He goes, what's going on? And I said, did you
feel that bump? I said, or did you move? And
he says, I didn't move. Mom, I'm like, did you
feel the bump? And he goes, no, I was asleep.

(34:23):
I said, then you didn't see what ran in front
of the truck And he goes, dope. He goes, probably
a deer. And my son said, he's he's a skeptic.
He's very skeptic. And that's okay. I'm thinking, no, this
can't put No, that was not a deer. And I'm
just laying there and I'm thinking i cannot sleep. I

(34:44):
am just so cold. I think it was about three
point thirty quarter that quarter to four. I thought, you
know what, I'm going to start this truck. I'm freezing.
I'm not I am not going to sit here and
freeze anymore. So I started the truck. I looked over
at Kirk's car and I've seen him moving around inside,

(35:09):
and I didn't roll down the I didn't roll down
the window yet, but you could hear in the distance
a howl. And I'm thinking that has to be my
brain vibrating right now. Because I haven't slept, I didn't
think nothing of it, and I'm thinking, man, I'm like,

(35:30):
it's really like humming inside my head. And as I
rolled down the window, one of the other researcher, TJ.
He gets out and he goes, did you hear that?
And I'm like, I heard something and I'm like, what
was it? And he goes, that was a howl and
I said coyote. He goes, oh, no, that's no coyote,

(35:53):
and I said wolf. He goes, we don't have wolves
down here. And he says, he goes, that was loud.
He goes, I heard it in my car and I said, well,
I thought it was my head humming, and he goes, no, ma'am.
He goes, that was a howl. And I'm thinking, well,
that's pretty awesome. It's like, all right, so we got
whoops that night, we got tree breaks, we got dead coyotes.

(36:16):
He says, I'm thinking, what's next. It was time to go.
Kirkham let us all out because we were very unfamiliar
with the area. It is just one the roads and
it's just one one road. Like if two cars come,
you're going to have to go like like a V

(36:38):
to pass each other. So we kind of followed each
other out no reception whatsoever. I halred already tucked away
the walkie talkies. TJ was behind me and I didn't
see his headlights anymore, so I figured I got to

(37:01):
notify Kirk somehow. As Kirk went to go make a
left turn, I'm getting ready to make a left turn
and I seen something jump jump the road and all
I caught was hind legs that they looked like very
large k nine leg like German shepherd, like a very hefty,

(37:28):
strong German shepherd legs. I didn't see no tail though.
I just caught the legs, the thighs on down and
I looked at my son. I'm like, did you see that?
And he says no. He goes, I'm trying to see
if I can pull up the map here, he said,

(37:48):
I'm trying to get reception on the phone. And I'm thinking, man,
I'm like, I don't know. I just saw two big
legs jump the road and he says, probably deer, and
I'm thinking, yeah, it was a deer, all right. He goes, Mom,
you're tired, and I'm like, you're right, didn't think nothing
of it. I go to turn off my lights and

(38:09):
I stopped the truck with hopes that Kirk would see
that I stopped. He did stop. He backed up. Now
on the left on the passenger side is just like
a big ravine that just comes down, big wall of trees,
dirt rock, so there's no room for another car to pass.

(38:35):
I Kirk wasn't getting out of the truck, and I'm thinking, well,
he's not going to know what I'm doing, you know,
if he doesn't get out, So I open up the
door and I get out and he opens up the
door and I said, we lost TJ. And he goes
get back in the truck like really firm, really loud,

(38:56):
and I'm thinking, oh my gosh, like okay, you know,
and he says, just follow me. Thinking all right, I
get back on the truck and Dylan's like, is he mad?
And I said, I don't know. Maybe he's just tired,
you know. And I said, probably mad because we lost TJ.
I said, I don't know. So we went around. We
found a way to turn around, go back. TJ was gone.

(39:18):
So we decided, you know what, everybody, just go home.
TJ must have found another way out, because if we
continue to drive around, we're just going to get, you know,
get ourselves lost. So we ended up going home. I
ended up doing my hike with another two other researchers.

(39:39):
When I got home from that, I had called Kirk
and I said Kirk and I said, before we all stopped,
and he says, yes, I know, And I said, what
do you know? And he goes, I seen it, and
I said see what and he goes dog man, and
I just looked and I think my whole body just

(39:59):
froze chills. I think I even felt a little nauseous.
And he says, he goes, it was standing up. He goes,
when I turned, He goes, it was standing right on
that corner. He goes, and it leaped and I said, yeah,
I caught the back of its legs. And he says,
we were we were driving through dog Man Area and

(40:22):
of where people have had dog Man sightings. I'm thinking,
he goes, why, He goes, why the heck? He goes,
do you think I told you to get back in
the truck? And he goes, that's why you were so
firm and he says, he goes, yes, And I said,
then that explains that when I opened up that moment,
I opened up that door. Before I even stuck, I
felt like dread, like this big, heavy dread on me.

(40:50):
Not I don't want to say it was painful, but
just heavy. Didn't want to be here, didn't feel good,
didn't feel you know, welcoming at all. But I didn't
put those two together. But then when Kirk said that
he witnessed the dog Man, that's when it confirmed to me, Okay,

(41:15):
that had to have been it. You know, I don't
think bears can can jump like that and definitely bears
don't have paus like dogs. So that was, you know,
that was that siding of I believe my dog man,
Now we want to go into Bigfoot.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
I am.

Speaker 6 (41:41):
I have no.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
Explanation for the sightings that I've had, but I think
the most magnificent sighting that I had was at Prince
Glitsen camping last summer in July. We went on a
camping trip. That night, everybody we were we had some

(42:06):
people talking at the campfire, some people talking, you know,
about Bigfoot and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (42:13):
I went and stood by.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
A campfire because I was really very cold and I
just wanted to heat up. I heard two whoops. And
we were on the Peninsula area, like camping a Prince
Glitzen on the peninsula forgive me for my pronunciation there,

(42:35):
and I heard a whoop and I turned to everybody
and I said, I just heard a whoop. Another researcher says,
I heard it too, And I thought, all right, and
maybe thirty seconds, not even a minute later, another whoop
and turned my head again to tell everybody I heard
a whoop, And the other researcher goes, I heard it too,

(42:57):
And no one really seemed to be in it, and
I'm thinking, okay, well maybe they don't believe me. That's okay. Well,
we the think it was about eleven of us. We
decided to go on a night hike. I believe it
was about ten thirty. It was about ten thirty at night,
and we were walking and it was pretty bright out.

(43:19):
I think the moon the moon was was giving us
enough light to where we didn't even need the red
lights to walk. We were walking alongside the lake and
I saw a black shadow about thirty yards to my left,
closer to the lake, and I had told a few

(43:43):
people because we had to whisper. One of the gentlemen's
had recorders set up all throughout the woods, so we
had to whisper. And a couple people you know, come
up to me and said, what'd you see? And I said, well,
I saw a dark shadow moving over there, and everybody
just kind of split up and just went their own way.
So I decided, you know what, I'm going to go

(44:05):
over there and I'm going to go see what this
is like. Because silly me, crazy me with no fear
or the understanding what fear is, decides she's just kind
of mosey on towards the lake to find out what
this big, huge shadow was. And I got up to
the tree to where I had seen the shadow, and

(44:28):
that whole space was really warm, like microwave warm, like
oven heat warm. And the other researcher that walked with me,
I said, come feel this. Come walk through that. And
he walked through it and he goes, this is really
hot right here. And I said this is where I

(44:49):
saw that shadow. And he goes no, and I'm like yes,
I said, now walk back out and he goes, it's cold.
So here we were like doing this dance into the heat,
like wait, walk in st We walked out, got out,
we say cold. A couple other researchers caught up with
us and I said, this area right here and I said,
this is where I saw the shadow. And I said,

(45:10):
it's really hot right here by the tree, you know.
And even one had to make a funny and said, well,
it's from the sun. This ten thirty at night. Where's
the sun?

Speaker 6 (45:21):
You know?

Speaker 2 (45:21):
This isn't There's just no way the sun could heat
this tree up when there was no sun. But as
we were standing there that he began to fade, so
it got cooler to back to where it was just
normal temperature. With everything else with the air, I didn't

(45:45):
hear any whoops. A couple of people heard more whoops,
you know, tree knocks things like that. Somebody heard a grunt,
but I think they just assumed it was a deer
because there was a lot of laying down that night
in the fields. Now we went to we went to bed.

(46:08):
The next day, it was raining, we you know, couldn't
do any hiking, and we decided, you know what, in
between breaks, let's go for a hike. So it was
just the three of us. We mosey owned out of
the out of the camp and we found another trail
alongside the road, and we parked there and we followed

(46:32):
this trail up. And the whole time that we're walking
on this trail, I you know, I looked to my
friend Shelley and I said, hey, said, do you do
you feel that? And she says, I do. I said,
I feel like we're just being watched and she says, yep.
But I said it could be the it could be

(46:53):
the births, the critters, you know, maybe you know, maybe
they're all staring at us and it's just giving us
that that feeling. And I said, but I'm picking up
this warm, fuzzy feeling. And I said, as if somebody's happy.
And I said, I said, I'm not really that giddy
right now. And I said, because it's raining, I said,

(47:14):
and we're soaked, you know. And she says, I know,
and she says, I'm feeling it. Girl. She's like, I'm
feeling it. And as we're walking like towards the lake,
we could hear a few you know, like heavy you
know when you make a heavy step, and the little
twigs like crack, We could hear them. And we tried
to stop and look, and when we stopped, it stopped,

(47:38):
and we just kind of looked at each other, and
you know, we're we're looking for tracks. We're going off
the trail a little bit, you know, looking for tracks,
looking for tree structures. We're just kind of giggling thinking
because we know that we're being watched, we know that
we're being followed by what we didn't know. We got

(48:00):
to the lake and Stephen found two beautiful and I'm
going to say beautiful bigfoot tracks. Someone can say they
were human. These were not human tracks. They had that
break they had it had everything. They were absolutely beautiful.

(48:22):
Stephen decides he's going to cast the one that's not
so far into the lake. The other one was more
into the lake. It was a lot wetter, so he's
prepping that area. He goes and he lays the cast.
I turned my back to the lake and I start
to walk up the hill a little bit to my left.

(48:47):
I saw like glowing eyes in the bush and ten
feet away from me, and I kind of backed up
a little bit, thinking, is that a deer? Like?

Speaker 4 (48:59):
What's going on?

Speaker 2 (49:00):
And I go and I turn and I look, and
I see this round little head, this wiry like messed
up hair just sticking up all over. And as soon
as I caught we caught eyes, the eyes went black,

(49:20):
and I'm thinking to myself. I squatted down and I
just said, well, look at you. Where's mama? Where's daddy?
Because this one hundred percent was a small young sasquatch,

(49:43):
very young. I want to say it was a female
only because it just felt like this was a female,
because it just seemed like it was so dog gone cute,
Not saying that boys sasquatches aren't cute, but this one,
the nose, it had not ape like nose, but a

(50:06):
human nose, but just push push that tip of the
nose down just a little bit. And it didn't have
a flare like how the apes do, like the primates.
It did not have that flare. It was just a cute, tiny,
little short button nose, round, eyes black and I'm black

(50:26):
as black. No whites, no whites in her eyes whatsoever.
She had a little bit of hair coming down from
like the top of like the not the bridge, but
the side of her nose, covering her cheek going down
very little, very thin human like lips and I don't

(50:49):
know if she was chewing on something or just moving,
but her lips were moving as if she was, like,
you know, just playing with her lips. Because you could
see her chin. Her chin didn't have very much hair either,
was very very short, fine, peach fuzzy like hair. But
she had a lot of hair on her head. I

(51:11):
didn't see any ears. I did not see a neck.
I couldn't see the I saw her shoulder, but I
couldn't see the rest of the body because she was
sitting kind of like with her knees knees up like squatting,
and the bushes covered that. So I got like a

(51:31):
good a good view of her head. And this whole
time I'm talking to her, I'm just telling her, hey,
we're not going to be very long. We're not here
to hurt you. And I said we'd come in peace.
Where is Mama? The image of her face is just

(51:53):
stuck in my mind. But in the meantime, I'm still
talking to her. I'm asking where mama is horse Daddy.
And the whole time, now a helicopter was going above
my head, just making this really loud, obnoxious noise. I
was not going to look up. I'm thinking, I am,
my eyes are locked onto you. Her eyes were locked

(52:15):
onto me. She did not appear to be frightened in
any any way. She turned her head a little bit,
and she like there was a tree to her right.
She turned her head to the left, and I'm thinking,
maybe that's mom and dad coming in. And you could
hear footsteps, not real heavy, just like somebody's walking into

(52:37):
the into the tree lines, into the you know, underneath
the branches and stuff. And I saw two big legs,
and I saw the torso that I knew was a
male because I could see like the torso like I
didn't see bosoms like like you would expect for a

(52:59):
female sasquatch. It was flat, not a whole lot of hair,
but still hair covering it just like like a hairy
like a hairy man with long hair, you know that
would need to shave that kind of thing. Just massive,
massive muscles, the legs very muscular and from the hype,

(53:23):
I would have say six foot because I'm thinking, because
I even said to her. And as it squatted, you know,
like just squatted, it put its elbows on its knees.
I could see the long hair from the forearms from
his wrist hanging down, and he kind of put like

(53:44):
I believe he put his hands together sitting there, because
his hands disappeared behind the branch, because there was like
a branch out from out from the pine, because it
was like a pine. And I seen his eyes and
he had deep, deep set brow line, but not deep

(54:05):
like primate, not that deep black eyes round. I could
see the bridge of his nose. He had more hair
on his face coming from the high teekbone going down
and around his mouth. He had very little hair on

(54:27):
his chin, very big like human like lips, like really
full lips, and he was moving his lips around. He
was blinking. You could can see him blinking, and I'm thinking,
you know, right at the time, six foot I even
said in there's junior, you know, And I started chuckling

(54:50):
because this is the point where like now I'm getting
a little like nervous. But the whole time I could not,
I couldn't take my eyes off of him. There was
just no I was gonna take my eyes off. And
did I think of pulling out my camera? Absolutely not.
I didn't. I was more or less in awe, like
what am I seeing right now? Like this is unbelieve

(55:12):
And I'm still wondering, where's mom and dad? Where's mom
and dad? And this helicopter's just just going.

Speaker 4 (55:21):
Like that over my head and I'm thinking, you know what,
you can fly over my head.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
I'm not taking my eyes off of these things.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
You know.

Speaker 2 (55:28):
This is the once in a lifetime chance. And it
was almost as if I couldn't take my eyes off,
like I was glued frozen. But I was at peace,
if that makes any sense to anyone that's listening, Just

(55:49):
very very peaceful, graceful moment. These things move with so
much grace, very slow. I can't even imagine if someone
says well, yeah, they're apes. No, they they appeared human.
They had more human attributes and characteristics of their movements,

(56:14):
but not as but just with a little more grace.

Speaker 3 (56:19):
You know.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
I can't see someone very large coming in there and
being able to squat like that and just hold that
pose for you know, as long as they were able to.
Now in the meantime, Shelley comes into my view and
she's like love on, you know, loud, really loud. I

(56:41):
stood up and I looked at her and I was
like what, And she goes, did you not hear that?
And I'm thinking she was going to talk about the helicopter,
you know, And I was like what, And I'm like
talking to bigfoot here, you know, And I started chuckling
and and I still got them in my eyesight' they're
not leaving their staying right there.

Speaker 4 (57:00):
And she says two large trees.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
She goes, just went down back there behind behind the
other trees. And I thought, no, I said, I did
not hear that. And she says, I'm wondering. She goes,
I know, you said, you know, scary easy, she goes,
But dang girl, she goes, you didn't even flinch. And
I said, Shelley. I said, I didn't. I didn't hear them.
And I said, there's a helicopter going above above our head.

(57:27):
And when she came into view and she said, you know,
yelled my name. That helicopter noise quit like on a dime.
It just stopped. And I had told her I said
there was a helicopter. She goes, there was no helicopter,
she says, flying above us. And I thought, well, I
heard helicopter. I said. My ears were going like that,

(57:50):
like I can literally feel the vibration in my ears.
And I said and I said, but I'm not I said,
I said, can you say when I'm saying? And she
comes over to my left, so she's in between me
and the lake, and she says, she just looks, and
she goes, I do. I said, what do you see?

(58:12):
And she goes, I see a small a small sasquatch,
like a small one. I say, oh, she goes, yep.
She goes, that's a young one. And Shelley has seen many,
and she goes, that's a young one, all right. So
she starts to take pictures. Steven slides me his camcorder.
It's already going. I start to film and his camera

(58:38):
is just doing this like black and black lines going across.
It's you know, wiggly and jiggly. It's not picking anything up.
And I gave him back the camera and I said,
you know, I said, it's not working. And he says,
all right. Shelley goes Leavon, she says, come here. She goes,
let's confirm what we're seeing. And she says, is this

(58:59):
what you're seeing? And it was a blurred photo of
eyes and his face and I said, well yeah, and
I said, but it's not really clear. And I said,
but yeah, that's that's it. And she says yeah. She goes,
that's how they that's how they photograph. She goes, it's
blurred photos. And this whole time they're still sitting there,

(59:22):
you know, Shelley at her position because she couldn't see
the she couldn't see Junior because the tree was blocking
her view. I Am then decided to step back a
little bit. Steven says, I think we've been here long enough.
He goes, Mom and Dad haven't showed up yet. And

(59:44):
he says, if that was Mom and Dad knocking trees down,
he goes, I think that's our that's our cue we've
got to go. So he goes to start to dig
up his his cast, even though it wasn't dry, He's
going to dig it up the best he can. And I,
you know, they kind of moved back away from the bushes,

(01:00:07):
so they were gone. So that confirmed another confirmation whatever
was there is gone. And I even said, thank you,
we're leaving now. Shelley was like, yeah, thank you, we're leaving.
Then Shelley was says, oh my gosh, I'm thinking what happened?
And she goes, I just lost five days of photos.

(01:00:31):
I said in her camera. She goes, I lost five
days and she goes, I have no photos. She goes
that photo I just took and I said, yeah. She
goes gone and I said, oh, I said, you're kidding me.
And she's like, I'm not kidding you. And she goes,
I'm going to have to go home and hopefully look
in my eyecloud look, you know, wherever they could possibly
have gone, she's gonna look. So as we're leaving, you know,

(01:00:55):
we're still saying thank you. You know, we felt completely blessed.
I was on cloud nine. You know, Shelley was giggling
the whole time, and she's like her and I were
laughing so hard, and she says, she goes, I know
you're hearing and paired, and she says, but that was crazy,
and I said, I kept telling her there was a

(01:01:16):
helicopter going. She goes, there was no helicopter, and she goes,
you got zapped, and I think it's zapped and she goes,
they hit you with infrasound. I said, is that what
they do? And she's like yes, And I think, well,
that was really strange. And I said, because that, you know,
my ears and I said, it was like vibrations in

(01:01:38):
my ears, because the whole time I'm thinking of this
helicopter is really obnoxiously loud, you know, and why are
they flying so low, you know, interfering with my moment here.
And she goes, no helicopter and she goes, you didn't
hear those trees. I said, I did not hear those trees.
And she goes, they echoed that whole lake. I'm thinking, oh,

(01:02:00):
I know I'm deaf, and I said, but I'm not
that deaf. I said, I can hear noise. And I said,
it's words that I have a problem with. And she's
just laughing so hard because she was like mimicking me.
She's like bending down. She you know, like like here
you are talking to Bigfoot. And she goes, no worries,
and she says, you had no fear, no nothing, You

(01:02:20):
didn't flinch. She goes, we jumped back, and she goes
because she says, that's why I come towards you to
pull you away, thinking Mom and Dad are coming in
and they're pushing trees down. But they did not push
any more trees down on us. We started to walk out.
The rain started again, and the whole time we got

(01:02:41):
we were escorted out. We could hear the crunching, the
walking on both sides of the trail, and we just
kept saying, we hear you, you know, and like a
tree break, it's like, well, thank you. You know, every
every little bit of noise that we heard, we thanked them.
It sounds it was crazy, I know most people, and

(01:03:02):
just sent there saying, you know, they would high tail
it out of there, they wouldn't have, you know, sat
there and talked to them. I felt completely safe. I
did not fear these things. I didn't even fear Mom
and Dad. I can't I can't even explain the emotions

(01:03:25):
that I had.

Speaker 6 (01:03:28):
That.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
It was so overwhelming and at peace as well. Overwhelming,
but at peace. It was a beautiful, beautiful moment. Now,
I've heard of others, you know, having encounters like that too,
and where they you know, face to face. Some people

(01:03:49):
said scared them. They you know, put their heads down
and walked away. You know. Many say, oh, don't look
them in the eyes. Well, I was doing exactly that.
I couldn't help it. I mean, it was instant lock eyes.
I could not remove my eyes from either one of them.

(01:04:13):
I believe they were just as curious of me and
us three, of what we were doing, you know, like, hey,
what are you doing casting my footprints? You know that
kind of Maybe. I don't know what they I don't
know what they were thinking, but I do believe they
were curious, and probably Junior was to protect baby, and

(01:04:34):
he did exactly that. There was no way I was
going to go in any further. I was going to
stay right where I was at.

Speaker 5 (01:04:41):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
If Junior was to come start walking towards me, yes,
I probably.

Speaker 4 (01:04:45):
Would have stood up, backed up and said, okay, we
got to go.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
But he sat there and he watched me, and I
believe he knew our intentions, and you know, neither one
of us were armed. I think that the most dangerous
thing with Stephen had was, you know, was a knife
to dig that that, you know, dig up his cast.

(01:05:10):
I had no fear that day, even walking back to
the truck. We had no fear. When we got back
to the truck. You know. Shelley's you know, was talking
about her theory and about that they understand German because
she's had you know, I guess she's she's trying to

(01:05:31):
look up if they understand like different languages, and her
stories about Germanic language or something. And she says, she goes,
can you say something in German to them? So I had,
you know, I said, let them know that, you know,
I thank them. You know, I don't speak fluent German,

(01:05:53):
so I said, you know, donk Sean you know, kept saying,
oh it is, and just kept saying thank you. And
I could not hear the whoop, but she heard she
heard a whoop, not because I did not have my hearing,

(01:06:14):
you know, I didn't have my hearing aids in and
she was like, there, there you go. And then there
was a few tree cracks, a tree knock in the distance,
and again we just said thank you. We got in
the track. We went back to camp. Now that night,

(01:06:35):
at Camp eleven thirty twelve o'clock midnight, Shelley was standing
with her. Now we were set up in the middle
of camp at Prince Glinson. We were set up and
where where all the dogs could be because we had
our Australian shepherd with us. Shelley was standing with her

(01:06:58):
with her back towards the tree, and she was talking
to me, and I could have swore I saw two
eyes like way above her head, Shelley short way above
her head, and I'm thinking, no, they would not be here,
And I'm like, we're in the middle of a camp.
There's no possible way they would be here. They would

(01:07:20):
be seen, somebody would see them. I think that's just
lights from another camp. So I ignored it, completely ignored it. Mac.
I was always taking him close to the tree line,
same area for him to go to the bathroom and
always clean up his mask. He did not want to

(01:07:42):
go to that tree line and go to the bathroom.
He whined, and he literally yanked, yanked away. So I thought, well, fine,
let's go in the grassy area over here, and he
did his thing. On the way back to go to
sit down, there was this loudest howl and I mean,

(01:08:04):
I don't know how far away, but much further away
than the whole camp site, you know, just a long,
drawn out howl. And my husband was already laying down
in the tent and I said, did you hear that?
And he goes, I did. My dog sat and he whined.

(01:08:27):
There were no other dogs that barked. I would I
would expect dogs to start barking if they heard heard
that howl, that long howl. No, no dog barked mac.
I tried to bring him back to the campfire, and
he was a little hesitant, but he, you know, he
eventually he came back and he sat by my feet

(01:08:50):
and we're just chatting away just you know, I'm still
talking about the experience that we had. I'm still laughing
at me because I completely went deaf at that moment.
We heard this pink something hit the metal pole of
the pop up, you know, and I'm looking up looking

(01:09:11):
around and I thought, are these acorn trees? And Shelly
goes nope, and she already knew what was going on,
and I said, oh, and I said, something keeps like
tinking over here, like some like Max picking up something,
and I said, and she says, and then something else

(01:09:31):
went and Mac went and grabbed it and it was
a little pebble, and I thought. I just looked at her,
and she goes to sack normal, and I'm like, what's
going on right now? And she goes, they're throwing pebbles.
AM like, who's throwing pebbles? And she goes, They're in
the tree line, and she goes, she puts the recorder on.
She's been Stephen and Shelley have been doing this for
like fifteen years, so they're like on it. She set

(01:09:55):
her recorder down and I think they're in the tree
line throwing pebbles at Mac and she goes, they are
and he was literally I had him on a leash
and he would chase every little pebble and pick it up.
These weren't acorns, these were tiny little rocks. Now I
knew there was no acorns around there, and we're just

(01:10:17):
talking away. I decided nor more rock throwing. It got quiet.
I think it was about one o'clock and I decided
that I'm I'm going to go to sleep. Shelley, I
believe she went to bed. We had our tent pretty

(01:10:39):
close to the tree line, and after the little tree
lines is where the potties are. So this is why
I found it really hard to believe that a squatch
would make it to our camp, because it is it
was pretty lit up over in, you know, between after

(01:11:01):
the tree line, that's what the back pretty lit up
right there, but the tree line itself was dark. Now
getting into tent, Mac that's my dog's name. He didn't
want to come in the tent. He was doing a
lot of whining. I you know, I had to, you know,
reassure him, Hey, you know, come on, buddy, come and

(01:11:24):
you know, come on in. And he sat there and
he just whined, and he kept looking up at the
top of the tent. And at the top of the
tent you could see the small bug light that we
had hung up there, and that thing was rocking, like
back and forth, rocking. There was no wind that night.
It wasn't even raining. It was very very quiet that night.

(01:11:50):
I don't believe enough wind could have made that thing rock.
And I tried to look to see if I saw
a shadow of anything. I didn't see no shadow. Matt
continued to cry something rubbed from the one side of

(01:12:10):
the tent, and Mac literally followed followed it with his
with his eyes. He was following it and you could
hear it go all the way to the other side
and down, and he jumped up onto my cot and
was crying. If it was a human, he would have barked,
because that's all he does is bark at humans. He's

(01:12:34):
being trained for that right now. But he'll he'll bark
at the moon, he barks at the clouds, he barks
in anything that moves. He did not bark. I just
kept reassuring him, We're going to be okay. It's okay,
you know, buddy, And I said they'll eventually they'll leave.
I'm assuming it was a squatch. That's That's how I

(01:12:54):
was just gonna look at it as they're messing with
the tents, because I've heard so many stories that they
will mess with your tent. They'll come in closer because
they know it's safe. Then I heard this as I
laid my head down right by my head, I heard
this like that, and I'm thinking I even said wow,

(01:13:19):
And I'm like, if you're trying to act like a turkey,
I said, you need to get better than that, And
I said, because that was a real poor turkey call,
and I just chuckled mac wins, but Mac did not bark.
He eventually settled down and got quiet. We fell asleep.

(01:13:41):
The next morning. I told Shelly about it, and she says, yeah,
she says she had capping going on with her tent.
And we thought, you know what, let's go look. Let's
go look behind the trees and go see if we
can't see any footprints. And it was all leafy there,
so but you could see deep impressions in the leaves

(01:14:03):
that were much bigger than a human, so there was
something there. Stephen found little tree twists, like little twists
of the tree twigs. So we're thinking, all right, they
you know, something was in here messing with us. And
I was completely dumbfounded because I'm thinking, how is it

(01:14:26):
possible that they could find us in camp? You know,
not many people were awake, you know that late at night,
and maybe they decided to mess with us because we
were awake. Did they follow us? Did they pick up
our scent? I kind of thought, well, maybe we're being hoaxed.

(01:14:51):
But I can't see a human throwing a pebble and
hitting that metal, the metal on the pop up the covers.
Every time, I just I can't see that. I can't
see that happening. So that's that was pretty much that

(01:15:14):
whole bigfoot event. And I know many find it hard
to believe. I'm still processing this whole, this whole moment
as to why so many encounters when there are people
out there that have spent years in the woods researching

(01:15:35):
and haven't seen one right time, right place. I don't know,
And I'm definitely not saying, you know, we're anything special,
but it's like why I you know, I can't answer that,
you know, And I mean I've had more, but those

(01:16:02):
are the ones that I'm not quite sure. You know. One, yes,
I do know that you know it it was a bigfoot,
but I can talk about that some other time. So
that pretty much has been my experiences so far. Most
of that, you know, I guess the best experience. Within
two years, I've had more experiences. I do believe that

(01:16:28):
boots on the ground is the only way that anyone
could come across these elusive beings. Follow those footprints, follow
those deer tracks, coyote tracks, bear tracks, because you never
know where it's going to lead I'd love to come
back and tell you more, and I hope I have

(01:16:48):
a lot more to talk about in the future. Thank you. Well,
that's it for tonight's show. If you've had a big
