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 run down, no horse towns where
the church at the backbone, laws and the bow and
the fasting melodies coove 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

(00:32):
Then when I hear the promp porch picking down home
rhythm bringing out I Don't Run from Banjung music.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
My food sidings began in twenty twenty three in Northern Idaho. Hello,
my name is Trish and I am from Idaho. I
live in the Northern Panhandle and I'm sixty two. I

(01:21):
am certified in massage therapy and license in Human, Equine
and Canine and I came to Idaho sixteen years ago
from Colorado, moving from the Midwest, and through a series

(01:43):
of events, I ended up in Northern Idaho. And because
my career was sort of abruptly ended, through the COVID
event that we had. I had to make some quick
career changes and maneuverings and put an ad online for

(02:06):
caretaking because I'd done that in Colorado, and thank Heavens,
gentlemen actually from Colorado and out of town gentlemen answered
it and happened to have a property in northern Idaho,
and one thing led to the next, and I ended

(02:27):
up there caretaking and what ended up to be five years.
But during those five years I had not only some
wonderful experiences with wildlife there, but some really unique interesting
things happened with something else. And it took me a

(02:52):
while to put some stuff together, but they started out slowly,
and I guess the first event and backing up and
thinking about how it all began was one usual evening.

(03:17):
I loved being at that place because it was so
peaceful and quiet, and I had all the amenities that I,
you know, could want in a place. And Uh, most evenings,
I would just fix dinner and go back on the
back part of the cabin home, which was the sunken
in the living room, and this gentleman had everything, UH

(03:40):
set up, all the conveniences. He had dish network, and
I could go back there and just you know, find
a movie and uh so I would go back and
sit on the couch and have dinner and or uh
just get comfortable, and uh it we got to be

(04:00):
just a little bit later, eight thirty maybe nine o'clock,
I heard a creek. And this place is extremely quiet.
I mean, if the thousand foot gravel driveway, you can
hear somebody coming in, but the only thing otherwise you
hear would be the frogs creaking out there, and they'd

(04:22):
get loud sometimes. And there was a little man made
rock pond about twenty feet from the back deck, and
so that made quite the ecosystem out there. But I
turn I remember turning my head thinking, you hear a creek,
and when you are very familiar with your home and

(04:44):
you know the regular sounds, but you also know when
somebody's on your back deck too, especially where you know
this is an older place, and probably the most solid
part of this place was that that back deck. And

(05:05):
but there was something really heavy, because I'd never heard
the creaking of this thing ever before like that, and
it was continual, and as I listened, it progressed. Because
this deck in the back wasn't huge but it it
was had four steps up to it had about ten

(05:28):
by fifteen area deck, and then there were four steps
down and you walked about ten feet and then you
would on the corner of as it wrapped around, you'd
walk up four or five more steps, and then it
would would wrap around the back of the cabin home.
And as I listened, I was like, e e, and

(05:52):
I'm thinking, holy cow, you know the heck is that?
And because it was clearly steps, and it made the
hair on the back of my neck go up, and
I immediately thought firearm. When I went upstairs and got
my sigtar, I wasn't messing around. I would figure, well,
if you're coming in, you're gonna be missing some neecaps, buddy,

(06:15):
because you know, so I came down asked, you know,
I had my weapon off safety. I mean, it wigged
me out. That was the very first time in two
years I'd heard something like that, and it was very slow,
and something just told me this is not normal. And

(06:36):
so as I listened and I followed the sound around,
I got back on the side steps, you know, kind
of backing away from that flimsy screen door that was
held with an eye hook. Oh my god. And then
that was the outer screen door, and then the inner

(06:58):
door was a would frame glass door with a slide
block which anybody could kick in if they wanted. But
in the fall season I would wrap that with very,
very thick plastic because the wind would come in so forcefully,
I learned the first winter there, the snow would just

(07:19):
beat in and it would just drift up, and so
I started wrapping it like a you know, a gift,
and which helped quite a bit. It was a good
wind block. But the next thing I heard was what
I could only imagine was a was somebody's arm going
up and down the plastic. And you know, I mean,

(07:43):
my eyes got big, and I'm thinking, mutton the heck
is that? And I just listened, and you know, my
I had not felt this kind of oh my god,
what am I going to do feeling? So I stood
there and I listened, and pretty soon everything just calmed down. Well,

(08:07):
the next morning, I thought, Okay, nobody's coming up this
back deck, and so I barricaded the four steps up
with the big garbage can that was back there, like
an obvious do not come up this way. And then
there was a large what used to be a cable
spool that they used for giant cable and this guy

(08:27):
had this owner had one of those using it as
a table, and I dragged that thing over to the
other side to block the other end. So I don't
know what I was trying to prevent, but anyway, the
following morning I found on the stairs a palm size

(08:52):
piece of amethyst. I'm thinking, oh, my gosh, I mean,
nobody comes there, and who would put a stone there.
I felt like it was a gift, like, you know,
we were just looking and we didn't mean you any harm.
And that was kind of the impression I got, you know,

(09:14):
it was, but it was it was beautiful, and that,
you know, I contemplated that because I hadn't met anybody
I'm not close to, nor do I talk to any
of the neighbors, and nobody comes there, so why would
a piece of amethyst be on the second stair of

(09:35):
those five stairs. So well, whatever message I sent, whatever
you know was there, got it, I guess, and maybe
that was the response. That's kind of how I took it.
But it was just a very unusual thing. And I

(09:56):
still have that amethyst stone and I got it out
the other day and just kind of reminisced about it,
and I couldn't find it for the longest time, but
I remember when I packed up other things that I had,
I finally found it. But that was the first experience

(10:19):
and later on and they were kind of spread out,
So it's not like I was being inundated by visits
or anything or what I but things happened there that
I'm now putting together that could have been something else
my assumption of because things like two grouse being flinging

(10:48):
themselves or they either flung themselves into the back bay
kitchen window that was part of the back deck. I mean,
it scared the tar out of me, because again I
was in that living room and I heard this bang,
and I went up to the kitchen where the sound
seemed to come from and looked out the window, and

(11:10):
sure enough, there were two grouse who apparently committed suicize
in my windows. Thinking wow, you guys either chasing each
other or flying together into the reflection of the window.
But I thought, well, I wonder later if those were
just thrown at it. I don't know, maybe there were gifts.
I don't know, but I'm thinking, oh my god, because

(11:34):
it just seemed like weird stuff like that was happening.
I would hear what I thought were big limbs fall
on the roof, and a couple of times at least
two rocks. They had to be rocks, and I would
go out there, and I can go out onto the

(11:58):
roof if I want to. I've been out there many
times kind of checking out to see where bats could
possibly get in and stuff, but never really noticed a
huge rock. And you know Idaho's you know, the Gem State,
there's oh goodness, heavens, if you want to plow a field,
you're gonna have to clear it with rocks. But there's
never a shortage. And so I just didn't really kind

(12:25):
of put those things together because they were so spread out.
But I think the the second more prominent one, and
the time in between. As I'm piecing these experiences together,
that skunk problem I'm wondering, you know, because it was

(12:49):
so intense, and I'm thinking, what are they doing just
coming up here and spraying around the house or what.
Because I've heard other stories of other people talking about
their experiences and how they would smell these intense, you know,
smelly skunk smells, and I'm thinking, well, Now that I
think back, I'm thinking, Wow, maybe they maybe it was them.
And well, my answer to what I thought was the

(13:12):
skunk problem was to go out there on that back
deck and grab this huge stump that I had taken
from the woodshed. It was about twelve inches in diameter
and about eighteen inches long. And I picked that thing
up and I throw it up in the air and
I let it fall on this back deck with the

(13:32):
biggest crack that you ever heard, and it'd echo over
the little valley and I'd just make the biggest vicious,
you know, sounds I could make from a five foot small,
fifteen pound woman, and you know, I have my dad's volume,
and I could, I could. It sounded like some crazy
woman was just losing her mind over on that back deck.

(13:53):
And I would do it like ten or fifteen times
because I was not having those skunks set up shop
underneath the deck again. I'd already had to, you know,
peel them out of there and pile a bunch of
rocks under there, and the deck was like, I don't know,
two feet high, and I had to crawl under there.
So I was not having that again. So it was
dark when they start skulking and coming out, and the

(14:17):
rodent expert told me they like, you know, creeping around
buildings and stuff and seeing if there's a hole in
a building they can get into. And so anyway, this
was the image I had my mind. It was the skunks,
and I was not having it. And it was on
and so every time I'd sit there, having a nice
evening on the couch watching TV and get this whiff

(14:39):
of skunks. So I thought, so I'd go out there
and start that big ruckus, and I didn't care if
the neighbors heard me or not.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
And come to realize, I'm wondering if they were standing
out there at the other edge of the trees watching me, thinking,
you know, and I kind of imagine, thought.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Let's see what she does. Let's this is weird o
little human and she makes a big fit.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
You know.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
I could just see him sitting over there watching me
and the crazy mountain woman over there making a big
ruckus and and uh and pretty soon, within maybe I
don't know, twenty minutes, it would just dissipate, which was
really weird because you know, if a skunk is you know,
that stuff stays there if they're spraying, so I'm not

(15:28):
so sure it was the skunks, because if they're spraying,
that stuff stays there. And so I'm kind of thinking
they were visiting me and I didn't realize it, and
they must have just thought I was just one by
loney tune. But that happened quite often, and so what
may have you know, what I thought was, you know,

(15:49):
the skunk skulking around may have been their visits and
what we're increasing. And then you know, other things that
would happen would be like I start gazed a lot
at night. I wouldn't I would go out and this
the other thing Idaho is known for, you know, a
lot of stuff in the sky. I got video and

(16:10):
I've got photos that are unbelievable. I you know, I
don't have anybody to show them to, and it's like,
oh my gosh, I mean, you know, there's nobody to tell.
I mean, I've it's just amazing. I have stayed out
there for an hour or two and longer in the winter.

(16:32):
But I would go out and I would set an attention,
and I would look up and I'd say, who's traveling,
who's traveling? And I would you know, because I've read that,
you know, telepathy, and yeah that they could. They can.

(16:53):
They're so advanced they can hear you. Anyway, I was
experimenting a lot, and I would go out and I
did that many, many, many, many times. I'd go out
and sit in a lawn chair and it was very dark. No,
there are no you know, street lights out there. It's
blackerniesa spades, and but I, you know, I had to.

(17:15):
I had to gather enough nerve to sit out there
next to the doors. It was so dark. But I
you know, once I started looking up, I'd get so
amazed because within five minutes, you know, what looked to
be stars just took off. They took off in tandem.
They took off one at a time, two at a time,
in two different directions, and it would go on all

(17:37):
night and I would count them. Thirty thirty to fifty
of these things would just it's all night long. I
could follow them all the way across the sky and
then it'd be thirty seconds a minute or two and boom.
And the more I said, uh, you know, you know,
thank you and gratitude, the more it happened. But you know,

(18:04):
I would be out there and you know, I would
take my pictures and whatnot, and then I would start
looking out at the edge of the tree line. And
the third experience was I never really I know, there's

(18:25):
a lot of hoot owls and a lot of different
you know, night goings on, uh, nocturnal animals, and there's
certain birds that you know, I like to listen to.
And I'm pretty good at mimicking, you know, from from
a really small kid. I'd be out in the woods
at eight years old of my horse, and so why

(18:48):
kids learn how to do stuff early on, and so
I was really good at mimicking you know, different sounds,
and so I started it's kind of weirdo. Hood owl
sounds started coming from the edge of the trees in
the back of the apple tree, and it's about a
sixty foot from the back deck to the edge of
the line of the trees, and there's the deck the

(19:12):
man made rock pond, and then there's another thirty five
feet to the edge of the tree line. And I
listened closely. It sounded like a hoot owl, but there
were two of them. And then on the other side
of the house one would answer, and I'm thinking, so
I started, you know, the two at the back tree

(19:34):
line started you know, hooting and for lack of a
better term, and then an answer would come from the
opposite side of the front of the place where there's
a circle drive in a shed, and it would keep
going back and forth. Well, I kind of, you know,
played around with it and interceded and I kind of

(19:56):
added my hoot, and all of a sudden, there were silence.
It's like it was like, well, who was that. So
they'd do it again and then I'd answer and there
was silence, and then they'd hoot, and I'd do it
again and there was silence, and I don't know what
was going on over the other side of the shed,

(20:17):
but it kind of started to be a game. And
then they Yeah, I felt like they were kind of
playing with me. So that happened a couple of times,
and it was kind of entertaining. But there I could
tell there was movement, so you know, I thought, well,
they're either flying around or there's some hoodels, you know,
playing with the territory because they're supposed to be very territorial.

(20:40):
But well, you know, the next experience was kind of
after that, and I was going out on the deck
to to you know, to do some star gazing and sit,
and I went out there and took a double take
because out beyond the apple tree where two giant flat

(21:02):
two pair of giant flashlight eyes. And I just stood
there and looked. I'm thinking, you know, your mind, you know,
rampages through your compartments and memory to find some sort
of reference of what you're looking at. And I wouldn't
find anything. It was just like question marks. It's not

(21:23):
a deer. Deer are not that tall. They can't stand
on their hind lights like that, and they can't see
the apples anyway, so it's an it can't be a deer.
Those are the biggest freaking flashlight eyeballs I've ever seen,
and they were wide apart, and one was at least
ten feet tall, because the next morning I went out
and looked, I'm thinking, holy cow, and the other one
was like eight feet tall. So there were two of them,

(21:46):
and I didn't feel any fear. I'm looking at them,
think I assumed they were what I thought they were,
and you know, and of course I had to start
babbling my ad and they stood there like you know.
When I thought about it later, I'm thinking, it's like
it's like they were thinking if we don't move. You

(22:07):
can't see It's just like, dude, youryballs or flashlights, I
can see you so uh so, but I just started rambling,
I you know, hi, you can have all the apples
you want. I can't reach them anyway. All the good
ones are at the top in the middle, and you know,
you can shake the crap out of if you want,

(22:29):
but you know they're all yours. Do you know you
can have as many as you want. And I don't
know what else I babbled about, but I sort of
just kind of, you know, gracefully backed myself back into
that screen door. But they were there, and nobody's going
to tell me that that wasn't what I thought they were.
And the next experience that that in reference to the

(22:54):
height of the big one, was really early in the morning,
and and it was one of the last days that
the owner and his assistant were leaving. They'd been there
about five days, and he'd only come up a couple
times a year, but this was they had talked to,

(23:14):
you know, the evening before that they were going to
get up and leave early. So I it was the
time of the year, it was really hot, and the
ac in that place never reached upstairs. So during the summer,
I'd sleep on the couch in the living room because
it was much cooler, and so i'd gotten up. My

(23:34):
normal early rising was somewhere between three thirty and four
in the morning, because I go to bed early, and
I wanted to get up to you know, get dressed
and be ready for whatever whenever they decided to get
up and get going. And I happened to get up
and I was starting to go up those stairs and
happened to glance out the front corner of the cabin window,

(23:57):
which were three stupid, skinny windows. I don't know whose
big fat idea it was to put windows like that
in a beautiful, you know, picturesque landscape place, but tiny
and skinny. Well you couldn't even escape out those things.
I don't know what. But I happened to glance out
there and saw movement, and so I went over there

(24:18):
because at first I thought it was George, the assistant,
and he was running, or I thought it was him,
and I'm thinking, holy God, that that ain't George. It's stupid.
And it was big and tall and black, and my
mind was racing through some sort of you know, reference
to what the heck was it? Well, uh, George is

(24:41):
a short guy. This was not a short guy. The
crotch of this thing was at the top rail. But
that's almost five feet tall. I'm thinking in three strides, one, two,
three and a half. And he was gone behind the shed.
I'm thinking, oh my god, what did I just see?
That was him and my mind he went to the
tall flashlight eyeballs from the back of the apple tree,

(25:04):
and I'm thinking, oh my god, that was it. I'm
one of those now I'm a big footzier I'm thinking
of I really did. I couldn't believe it. It was
huge and black, and there were no shoes, no gloves,
there was no coverallt it was just light enough to

(25:25):
see color. And you know, the sun hadn't come up,
but there was a bright and que and so that
was the visual siding, you know, of early morning. And
I'm thinking, oh my goodness. So I was so excited

(25:45):
and I wanted to share it, but I couldn't because
you know, he would have never believed me. He just
they wanted didn't believe in such things, and he already
thought I was a couple of bubbles off anyway, So
I guess, you know. I would try to tell him
about some of the UFO stuff out there. So I

(26:07):
knew that he was not you know, you know, open
to that kind of stuff, and so I didn't want
to open myself up to ridic you, and so I
kept it to myself. But I was so excited because
I wanted to, i don't know, meet them, I wanted
to interact with them, and I felt compelled. I wasn't

(26:31):
afraid I had a weirdo. I've always had a weirdo
thing with animals anyway, and not that I think they're
an animal, but things in the woods and creatures, and
I'm always rescuing something. I rehabbed a lot of animals,
you know, growing up and throughout my life, and they
just seemed to come to me. And I don't care

(26:53):
what it is. It's you know, snakes and spiders, and
I had a thing with spiders. I don't know what
it is, but I've always been like that, you know.
I worked at a zoo. I was fascinated with everything
since I was like two. My parents would tell me,
you know, you were always handling something. We always had to,
you know, tell you to put that down. And but

(27:16):
I was fascinated with living things, with creatures, and just
just absolutely fascinated that they already knew what to do.
They you know, they all symbiotically lived together in an ecosystem.
And I wrote children's books about experiences I had and

(27:38):
rescued things and raised them, and you know, and but
these experiences kept happening as I, you know, continued to
live there. And the next one was after the this shop,
that this owner had built a new, a newer, big

(27:59):
barn workshop because he had this big idea of bringing
his antique cars there and redoing them. And they'd done
a lot of construction and what should it took, you know,
six or eight weeks? Took nine months, good heavens. And
during the construction they pile up a lot of the

(28:21):
debris in the back, took out a few trees, and
it was quite the big mess. The owner wasn't all
that happy, but they graded a lot of the back
area of the yard, which you know, was quite muddy,
and so I would walk back there and kind of
explore to see if anything had gotten scraped up, you know, rocks,
you know, I was looking for some shiny thing. So

(28:43):
I went back there and odd things. As I said,
what happened. I was always seeing white animals. There was
an albino turkey with a flock that would come around
and really big, really big one, and I've got you know,
video and photos of that. But this day there was

(29:05):
a ferret somebody. I don't know whether it's somebody's pet
or what, but I glanced out there and this this
place had a lot of very very old farms machinery
in the yard. In the backyard, some of them were
in the trees. There was an old old car, I

(29:27):
don't know, nineteen forty something. It had the suicide doors
on it, and it was you know, rusted to smitherines
and it had a tree grown out of it, and
it was in the woods. So that's how old all
this machinery was. This thing I think wasn't a really
old baalor you know, it had cogs and chains hanging

(29:47):
off of it, and there were little windows in this
contraption in this little white ferret was you know, popping
around in and out of it, and then in and
out of the debris woodpile. And so I went back
in and got my phone and I took a video
of it, and took out some walnuts and fed it.

(30:08):
But while I was out there walking around, I happened
to glance down, and there on the perfectly smooth mud
was the most beautiful big foot print I'd ever seen.
It's just perfect, perfect, It's like at least fourteen fifteen inches,

(30:30):
and I'm thinking, oh my god, but it was just one.
And I'm thinking, it's like, look, we're going to put
one footprint in here so she knows we're here. It
was just it was beautiful. I'm thinking, oh my god,
you're really here. And I felt honored. I felt, you know, privileged,

(30:50):
and excited and protective. I felt very protective of them,
and I didn't want anybody coming up and you know,
snooping around and going and looking for them, and you know,
especially with any guns, and because there were some yahoos

(31:12):
around the area. But I was just really solidified by
my firm belief that, you know, they were there. And
it wasn't long after that. It was within a few
months that the owner decided to retire, and that was coming.

(31:33):
He talked about it, you know, a year and a
half during visits and and I was always prepared. I
had never unpacked a lot, so it didn't take me long.
But I think the next I think the next encounter
would have been, you know, physical interaction. I would have started.

(31:53):
You know, I think seeing them during the day, and
I think it's a gradual thing as they acclimate themselves
to an area or to people. At least that's my
feeling and from different stories that I've heard other people
talk about and then relating them to my own. It
was a slow progression and to not feel threatened to,

(32:15):
and I think they do since people's intentions and there,
I think you are watched. I think we are watched.
I think I was watched for a long time because
I would go out by the pond, I would sit,
I would take photography, I would oh and out by
the pond there scared of the jeebers out of me.

(32:36):
The first time I was there. When I got there,
somebody had had made an actual female Bigfoot statue, which
scared me to death. When I first saw it, I
thought it was actually one of them, and thinking, and

(32:56):
you know, I was a little wired anyway, because you know,
events through COVID and through you know, I had worked
the massage therapy circuit as a therapist, you know, all
over Idaho and bounced around quite a bit, and so

(33:18):
my nerves were, you know, a little bit on edge,
and I was easily startled. I had been through a lot,
and so it's like, are you kidding? So it just,
you know, that's why I would take time to explore
that place, because there was always something, you know, different

(33:39):
that I would see. And in addition to you know,
these intermittent and progressive experiences I haven't had, there is
a Native American gentleman, very very old, like eighty nine ninety.
He recently passed away last year. I think he was
like ninety three, white hair, but he had a huge

(34:04):
German shepherd and we called her the Wooly Mammoth. She
was just gigantic, long haired, and she would come over
and visit me frequently, and she knew how to open
up the backsliding door, which was a wood slide. She
knew how to open that up. And the one morning
I was sitting on in the living room in the

(34:25):
suck and living in the back of it, she had
opened that door and come in and slithered down those stairs,
and I nearly had a heart attack because you know,
I watched, you know, I listened to the dog man thing.
It's like, I mean, I almost really had a heart
attack because she's big and he was just she slithered
down there, and she's a very dark plant black tan

(34:50):
and sable. And she looked at me and she realized
that she scared the bejeebers out of me, and she
felt so bad that she groveled on the floor. And
but it's like so but anyway, she would come over
and she would get me to go for a walk
up in the timber, and she would go with me.
And that's really the only time I would go by myself.

(35:13):
You know, I never liked going hiking by myself, and
I never went unarmed. So we would go back up
in there, and she'd go about twenty five thirty feet
ahead of me and you know, sniff stuff and come back.
And then she'd run up thirty maybe sixty feet ahead
of me and come back. And it's an incline as
you go up the foothills, and so she went up

(35:36):
around the bend and then she came barreling back one
day and she just gently grabbed me by the hand
and turned me around. And you know, I didn't argue
with her because I just trust animals and there was
a reason. So I just assumed that it was, you know,
the coyote couple, or maybe it was the pack or something.
Was very quiet, but you know, I looked at her

(35:57):
and she was coming at a dead run, and I
kind of stepped to the side, and she skidded to
a stop right in front of me, and then she
just took my hand turned me around. I said, Okay,
I guess we're going back now. But you know, I'm
very sensitive to I don't argue a whole lot. You know,
there's there's reason animals do stuff, and I just go

(36:19):
with it. And that's kind of the way I was
with my horses and everything else. And so we went down.
I never really questioned it, and maybe I wasn't paying
enough attention, but you know, I've had other experiences, and
one was in Colorado and I was put them on

(36:40):
a camping trip with a boyfriend at the time and
another couple and we were running back towards the campers
for some reason, and I got dropped by a rock.
As I was running. There was a rock that my
right leg was coming up and it nailed me and

(37:03):
dropped me to the ground. And we still don't know
where the rock came from, but you know, I often
wonder somebody was throwing rocks, and boy, I'll tell you what,
that could have been me in the head and probably
killed me. I don't know, but there were weird things
like that that that happened that I just didn't put

(37:25):
two and two together at the time. And but at
that place for five years in northern Idaho were just
bliss for me. It was a healing time and I
miss it terribly. I think of them often, and if
there is telepathic communication and they can hear you, you know,

(37:45):
I talk to them in my uh in my mind,
and I tell them I miss them. I would have
liked to have interacted with them. And but you know,
there were a lot of big rocks that hit the roof.
I always, you know, blew them off. I thought one

(38:07):
sounded like a big part of a tree, because you
know there's there were aspen in a huge blue spruce,
a couple of those, and all around the cabin. And
you know, we have a lot of windstorms. We've had
some horrible sudden windstorm sixty million an hour blow the
crap out of the trees, and you look out in

(38:30):
the in the yard and there's just limbs everywhere, but
on this day it wasn't. And but I would hear
big bangs and pieces of limbs, and I often wonder
if if they weren't trying to get my attention. But
there were three of these grouse because I don't I

(38:54):
don't know, if you know, I often wonder. I often
wonder if they were trying to give me a gift
of maybe they felt sorry for me. I don't know,
because I was by myself for a very long time,
and I'm a small woman, and I I would walk
around there, and I'm very fine by myself and secluded.

(39:16):
I've always I've been like that as a young kid,
and you know, a lot of family stuff going on.
So I would use the horses as an excuse, and
I'd be up early first to feed them, and then
later saddle up and go riding off, and my mom
would have to call me back with a big bell

(39:38):
we had on the back deck, the back patio out
in the country where we lived, and this was back
in the Midwest. But I was always like that. I
was fine by myself. I was never afraid. I would
still have weird experiences as a kid, and one of
those was on my horse Flicka. And my dad always

(40:00):
said that I looked like a little peel on a basketball,
but you know, I could make those twelve hundred pounds
horses work wherever I wanted them. And we went on
on one of our rides back in the timber. We
had fifteen acres and half of it was wooded and
the other half was a beautiful meadow up a foothill
and a wonderful creek in between, and that was my playground.

(40:23):
And we went back there and getting ready to cross
the creek, and it had been a couple of days previous,
you know, had rained, and that Illinois Creek mud was
like clay. And if anybody's watched the animal planets where
they have horse rescues, because course horses get stuck in

(40:44):
that mud, this is what happened. Because we were one two,
three step and she sunk in right up to her
chest and here I am, shorty pants. I stepped off
of her, and the panic just overcame me, and I
grabbed a bridle and tried to pull, and I'm thinking
of it. Instantly knew that wasn't gonna do anything. And I,

(41:07):
you know, as children. We were pure until we're messed
up by adults telling us that that's not true and
that's not real. But I looked up to the sky
and I don't know who I was speaking to, but
I screamed from the bottom of my toes hell per
and wasn't done with that sentence, and I heard a
sucking sound like and her whole front end came out.

(41:34):
I don't know how she you know, it just was
plucked out. And as soon as her front end, her
back end engine kicked yourself back up onto the harder ground.
And I have absolutely zero recollection of anything after that. Zero.
I have no memory of any of that after that.

(41:55):
I don't know how I got home. I don't remember
any of it. So I I often wonder what the
heck happened. And I don't know if I was one
of those kids. But that was the the end of
of what I can remember about that. But it was

(42:19):
it was an immediate response, and I so that was
just another occasion. But I've had complete confidence, no fear,
and being by myself in the woods all the time,
and I it just became very familiar with animal life

(42:43):
and tracks, and I would I would see things I
would see, you know, huge bucks we'd run right into.
My horse was more afraid than I was. And you know,
the horses had that big snorting sound. You know that
I suck an air through that huge, you know, nasal

(43:04):
cavity and you know, and the breathe that out, and
that's what happened on one of my occasions, and ran
into a big thing. And I just had to explain
to her, now, ear fines, just a deer. He's not
gonna hurt you. And but you know, she'd never seen
one before. So but these were I don't want to

(43:28):
say that I was a loner, but I re energized
and I I loved seclusion and solitude in the woods.
And you know, later I got into boat hunting, and
thank god I didn't kill anything, because I don't think
I could live with it. But you know, I I
had I had occasions out in the woods in Indiana

(43:50):
hunting with the with the boyfriend then, and strange things
happened out there with that, and I'm, uh, well, I'm
not sure that there were things out there I wasn't
aware of because we never did find the deer that
he hit, except the stomach contents there was nothing left.

(44:11):
Something had picked that thing up and taken off with it.
But it was thirty two degree below windchill, which was
the dumbest thing. I didn't know it, but I had
probably fourth level hypothermia, and I couldn't feel my hands
from my elbows down, and I almost popped a four

(44:35):
corn fifteen feet up in a tree and prematurely hit
the release and it went over his shoulder and popped
into a dead tree in back of him, and he
crouched down, not knowing where that came from, and then
gradually started browsing again. But to heck with that, because
I just decided this was stupid, and it took me

(44:57):
twenty minutes to crawl down out of that tree, and
then I ended up crawling down right in front of
three huge does. I don't think I've ever seen does
that big, and I'm not even sure really they were dozed,
and you know, maybe I was seeing things, but I
was all cameoed out and everything, and I was small,

(45:19):
so I don't think they could figure if you know,
they weren't intimidated one bit, because they both say all
three stood there. It was like a Calvin and Hobbs cartoon.
It's like I could just look. They were like talking
to each other. It's like, I don't know, is it
a limb or what. I can't tell. I mean, it's
like and their tails were they couldn't decide whether it
was something to raise their tail or not. They kept

(45:39):
going up and down. And I looked at him after
I got down. I cannot remember if I had my
bow or not. I was, you know, your mind plays
games with you in hypothermia. And I looked at him
asid I'm out of here, and I made a beeline
and I, you know, I had half a mile to
walk out through cornfields, and you know, the only thing

(46:04):
that I remember was trying to track the deer that
my boyfriend had caught, and we couldn't find it. And
I kept picking up the blood trail and it went
down and up to the next ravine and we got
up there and the only thing we found where the
stomach contents. There wasn't a bit left, and I don't
know what could have carried it off, But you know,
I'm kind of thinking something else was out there. And

(46:27):
that was a way before the time of ever knowing
about dog Man or you know, the thinking about bigfoot
or anything like that. But you know the occasions of
being in the woods and not knowing about these things.
When I look back on the experiences I had, I'm thinking,
Holy cow, you know. But being in northern Idaho, it's

(46:54):
a different place. And the place that I was living
for those past five years was just utterly magical. And uh,
the the video and photography that I got, I mean,
it's something I can, I can keep forever. But I'm
hoping I can find some property up there. My my

(47:18):
father passed away, uh unbelievably a year ago, this this
past January, and uh, you know, I'm I'm hoping with
a little bit of the inheritance I could, I can
buy some akage up there and and continue living in

(47:39):
the peace and solitude. Because I am not a silly
city girl. I can I can function in it. And
I got to, you know, I went to collegiate years
and got a couple of degrees and blah blah blah blah,
and did all that stuff and and hated every second
of it. But just like that's the thing you're supposed
to do. And but you know, I don't want to

(48:03):
lead this area. I've already left it once and the
compelling to stay up in this place is very strong.
And so when I left the place up north, we
were only thirty miles south of the Canadian border, and

(48:25):
there's a lot of activity that goes on. And in
the town of Bonners Ferry, they have huge bigfoot statues
all over the place. Everybody's you know, seeing one somewhere
here and there, and so it's a lot of believers

(48:46):
up there. And but those were those were my experiences.
And you know, I'm one of us. Know you're one
of us. You know, if they say an I robot,
you're one of those. So you know, this place was

(49:11):
a beautiful place. It was landscaped and there was a
sprinkler system, and the wildlife that came there sorrow. The
Mountain lion would drag her kills. She was notorious for
killing around the area, dragging her bucks and whatnot up
into the yard. And she did that there under the

(49:33):
thicket and the mulberry trees, and stayed there for three days.
And needs to say, I didn't go anywhere for three days.
But you know, I've got some great video of her,
you know, and she she was just fascinated with the
sprinklers and she would lay out there like a big
house cat and clean herself and sit there and watch
the sprinklers in the evening. And it was it was

(49:55):
the most magical place to be and my heart aches
to be there. I wish I was there, and I
miss it.

Speaker 5 (50:05):
But the.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
You know, there was a herd of twenty six elk
that would come down into through the pass that was
right near that that back direction, sixty feet from the
apple tree and that that tree line. There was a
pass that went up there and the elk would come
down through there right into the front pasture which was
all grass, and the neighbor across the way would cut

(50:29):
that for his cows. And there was you know, it
was just wildlife everywhere. And you know I've documented everything
and that yeah, they're there, and I feel, uh, you know,
some of the things that I've watched and heard, I

(50:50):
don't know if you know, it's I've come to believe
that with what resonates with what I hear. Don't believe
everything that that. I don't think it's good for anybody
to believe just whatever they hear. I mean, but but
what resonates with you that combines with your experience. But
there was a medium, a woman that encountered and and

(51:15):
was psychic and could hear them speak to her, and
she I listened to her, and she said they explained
who they were and that they are much like our
human race. There is a huge diversity of humans and

(51:36):
in both behaviors and races. And she said that that's
she said, it's a lot like us. We have. We
have some we'd like to you know, ask to leave
out of the you know group, and good ones and
bad ones, badly behaving ones and very family oriented ones
and uh. But that that kind of resonated with me,

(51:57):
and that's why I felt like I wanted to continue
and eventually interact. But you know it got cut short
by the owner retiring and coming there. And so you know,
I was going up and visiting next door neighbor who
had lived in the house and had a little cabin

(52:21):
home and had been there many years before the present
owner of who I care took for bought the place
and it was his second home. He had a pretty
big spread down in Colorado. But this neighbor, you know,
I was going over there and getting spring water, and
you know, he had a great place too, and I

(52:43):
just wish I could just acquire some property up there
so that I could continue interacting with him. But that's
really the you know, the stories that I have, and
I just feel privileged that I got to encounter and
experience those, because you know, we've always heard about him

(53:04):
and since the seventies. And I remember at the boarding
stable before we all got horses and we moved out
on our farm that the big, big food scare was
going on around, you know, the legend of Boggy Creek
and blahtah blah. And we were at that boarding stable
and it was dusk and we were still hanging around
before we left, and we were kids then, and one

(53:27):
of the horses had a very dark, you know forelock
and a black forelock, and he had his head right
up at the gate and his forelock had fallen through
over the railing of the metal gate and it looked
like a great, big, huge block ada and we all
freaked out when screaming. So it was but somebody screamed

(53:47):
bigfoot and we all ran. So, I mean, it was
this way back then. But those are pretty much my
my experiences, and you know, there wasn't anybody there share
them with and I didn't feel any fear, and except
for that first time when I couldn't tell who it

(54:08):
was because I wasn't thinking of a bigfoot at the time.

Speaker 6 (54:10):
I was thinking of some big I don't know, I
don't know what it was, but that was pretty much it.

Speaker 7 (54:23):
Well, that's it for tonight show. If you've had a
big foot siding and would like to be a guest,
please go to my Bigfoot Siding dot com and let
us know. Thanks for listening, have a great night seeing.

Speaker 3 (54:34):
A bunch of run down, no host towns where the
church is the backbone, loves and the bow and the
pastoring melodies coove in. But the bomb man rose with
the roos, run deep beyond the nose of the busy
