When tonight’s first guest was growing up, she had a series of experiences that she didn’t understand. That is, she didn’t understand them until she came face to face with what had been behind those experiences. It was a Sasquatch. Her family thought the Sasquatch was Tara’s imaginary friend, but when you her what that Sasquatch did, you might look at it as being more of a guardian angel. It saved her life, one day.
Tonight’s second guest had his Bigfoot sightings in Gulf County Florida. His first Sasquatch-related experience happened one night when he was 10 years old. He was snake hunting with his dad. While they were driving down a back road, he and his dad saw what they thought was a snake crawl, on the side of the road. They stopped, got out, and walked over to take a closer look and realized they were looking at a giant set of hominid footprints. When he had his next experience, it didn’t involve seeing evidence. It involved a much more convincing experience. He saw a 6 ½ foot tall Sasquatch.

Speaker 5 (01:03):
My Bigfoot sighting happened about a half mile from my
family farm. It was about one hundred and forty seven acres.
It was about half wooded, half farmland. I just remember
growing up I was interacting with something. My bedroom was
(01:24):
on the second floor. There was a tree outside of
my window, but it wasn't a tree that you could climb.
There was no limbs or anything anybody could climb. It
just went straight up and I would find rocks on
my window seal, or a turtle, a baby squirrel that
(01:46):
fell out of the nest. It was gifts all the
time on my window seal, and I just remember getting
in trouble from my parents, you know, because I was
bringing wildlife into the house because I would keep them
in pet as pets in my bedroom, and then in return,
(02:06):
I would leave things on the window sill and they
would come up missing, you know, like little trinkets legos.
I remember leaving one of those Gi Joe Lady Jane
figures and it would come up missing, but then I
would find it out in the woods later on. And
we were very strong Catholic. My parents didn't believe in
(02:30):
TV or anything. I was allowed to watch a half
hour of TV a week, so I the only thing
I could think of that it was was a spirit
or a ghost, because that's all I knew about. So
it was a lot of little things like that happening.
I have one experience that I can recall. I was
(02:53):
probably around eight years old, and I had my favorite
tree that I would go and read under. The no
kids around for me to play with, so I spent
a lot of time by myself out in the woods
or around the animals that we raised. And I was
setting under this tree and I knew something was around me,
(03:15):
but I never saw anything. And then all of a sudden,
stones were getting thrown at me, Apples were getting thrown
at me because there was an apple tree. Then a
large limb came at me. And that's the first time
I ever felt aggression from whatever it was I was experiencing.
(03:36):
And I remember getting all upset. You know, I was
still a young girl, and I was crying and I
ran to my dad and I'm like, they're being mean
to me, and they thought I had an imaginary friend,
you know. So of course, looking back, I don't know
why he did this. But he grabbed a shotgun and
he was like, well, show me where you were out
(03:56):
in the woods. And when we went out there, he
climbed that tree and it was hollow inside. And I
lived in northern Indiana. The biggest animal we have, or
most dangerous animal we have around here, is maybe a coyote,
or if you counter a raccoon. There's no big animals
(04:18):
around here. But I remember when he climbed that tree
and he looked down in that tree, he looked at me.
He came down. He looked at me and very quietly,
he says, I want you to start running to the house,
and he ran behind me, and we ran as fast
as we could up to the house. And it ended
up there was a mountain lion inside that tree. So
(04:40):
whatever it was that was out in that woods was
scaring me out way from that tree. It wanted me
out of that woods. And thinking back, my dad grabbed
that shotgun. There was no reason for my dad to
grab that shotgun. And unfortunately he passed away, but I
honestly think he knew something was out there too. I
(05:01):
can't go back and I can't ask him, you know,
did you know about you know, bigfoot being behind our house?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Because it was just weird that he grabbed that shotgun.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
There was no reason for him because they all thought
I was making I had an imaginary friends, you know,
because I was so lonely, so because I would always,
you know, be like, well, I have to take extra
sandwiches with me to give to my friends, you know,
because I would leave them for them.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
In that.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
The next experience that I can really think of, like
the two that I told you about, you know, where
I feel like they saved my life. We had a
huge barn I'm talking to this with a big red
you know farm barns, and it had tractors in it.
It had a basement where we kept the cows, and
hay loft. There was a silo attached, I mean, and
(05:57):
we had pigs in there. We had chickens in there.
And I want to say I was about eleven twelve
years old and I was up on the second floor
in the hayloft and of course i'm reading, you know,
just hanging out there, and it was summer vacation, and
all of a sudden, the gates kept opening, and like
first it was the cows got out, and I remember
(06:20):
again I didn't know what I was interacting with, but
I remember being like, you need to stop it because
I can't round these animals up, and my dad will
get mad that they're out. And then all of a sudden,
I hear another you know gate open. The pigs got out,
and I'm like, what is going on? Then the door
flew open and all the chickens got out, and I'm like, dude,
(06:44):
I'm going to get in so much trouble. And I
remember talking out loud to them, you know, like stop it.
You're gonna get me in so much trouble. I was like,
there's no way I can get these animals back in
by myself, you know. And then I'm not going to
say it was telepathic, because I don't know if it
was that, but maybe I put it together that they
(07:06):
wanted every animal out of that barn for some reason,
and we had just had a mother cat that had kittens.
So I got a bucket around and I got the
kittens out and the cat out. So I was like,
you know, I remember yelling out to them, are you
happy all the animals are out? And I'm going to
get grounded and blah blah blah. Like I remember just
(07:28):
going on and on to them about it. And then
I sat back down and started reading my book, and
then all of a sudden, a bucket came, you know,
flying over my head. And then I mean it got
to the point a pitchfork came at me, but it
didn't hit me, but it came very close to me,
(07:50):
and I was like, okay, so you want me out
of here. So I was a very sensitive child, so
I started crying and took off running, grabbed my stuff,
took off, run into the house did not even get
halfway up out of the house, that whole tire barn collapsed.
I mean the earth shook. I mean it was like
(08:10):
Tanning's going off.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
It was so loud.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
And my dad he worked like maybe three miles down
the road and he had one of those big monster
tired trucks and you can hear the you know, on
the pavement as it's coming. And I was on the
other side of the house, so he didn't see me,
and he knew I hung out in that barn a
lot in the summer, and I remember he got out
of that truck and all I heard him scream was Terra.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Where is Terra?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
And I came around the house and I'm like, I'm
right here, and he's like, oh, thank god, you weren't
in that barn. I was like, no, no, no, and
he was like I remember him rubbing my head, rubbing
his head and all the animals are dead. Oh my gosh,
all the livestock's dead. And I was like, no, they're
all out. And I remember he'd been looked at me.
He's like, what do you mean all out? I was like,
(09:00):
I let them all out, and I said I did it,
you know, because I knew that he wasn't gonna believe
me that my imaginary friends that's what they called them,
told me, you know, to let them all out and
get the cats out and everything. But I remember he
looked at me so strangely, and I remember he gave
me a hugg. He was like, I'm asking no questions.
(09:21):
He was like, just thank God. But I just remember,
like those were two incidents that stuck in my head
where they were watching over me. Probably the next experience
after that was I had one sister and three brothers,
(09:42):
and me and my brothers we did not get along,
you know, just as brothers and sisters don't. And I
did something to my brother that made him mad. So
I remember he went up and took like my radio
and like, you know, some trinkets and stuff that he
knew that I cared about, and he took him out
(10:03):
in the field and he buried him, and my mom
told him to go dig them up. Well, he claimed
he could not find where he buried them out in
the field because it was out in the cornfield. In
the corn was probably about five foot high at the time.
And I remember the next morning getting up and on
(10:24):
our patio in the middle was all the trinkets had been,
you know, uncovered, unburied and put on our patio. And
when I asked my brother, you know, like, oh, you
went and got those after all, he said no, he
did not get them. He does not know how they
got there. And I just feel like there was a
(10:45):
lot of times they looked out for me like that.
You know, this one was kind of going back in time.
I apologize for that. I was probably around eight nine
years old. It was the middle of winter, I want
to say, it was about forty degrees out, and my
parents were gone. My brothers were baby setting me and
they locked me out of the house. I had no
(11:07):
shoes on, no socks. I was in shorts and a
T shirt. And I was out there probably for a
good over four hours, huddled up by our water heater
to try to stay warm, and I remember I, you know,
fell asleep, probably was getting hypothermia, because I remember afterwards
my parents had to take me to the hospital and
(11:28):
they almost.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Had to take two of my toes off.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
But when I woke up around the water heater, there
was a blue tarp covering me. But I don't I
never got up to get a blue tarp. We had
no neighbors around and they were older, so if they
would have seen me, they wouldn't have put a tarp
on me. They would have you know, taken me in.
But I never woke up to see anything put that
(11:55):
tarp on me. There was another time again I had
no friends, loved animals, tried to collect every animal in
the world. I had a pet squirrel for over a
year that lived in my bedroom.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
There was many times we found.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
My parents would wake up and get me out of
bed and tell me I need to get that dog
out of the garage, and they were thinking, you know,
I put it there, it'd be like a neighbor's dog.
One time it was a doctor's saint Bernard that lived
over eight miles away, was in our garage and someone
would have had to open the door and put that
(12:36):
animal in there. But it was never me. He was
eight miles away. I ended up getting a hundred dollars
from that doctor too for finding that dog. But I
didn't find it. My parents just blamed it on me.
I guess my next incident would probably because I grew
up started going to high school. I was in three
(13:00):
for it, so I stopped hanging out outside in that
and so this was not really my incident. It was
a friend was taking me home one night mccurfew was
twelve o'clock and she had dropped me off at my
house and had drove away. Was gone maybe ten minutes,
(13:20):
and we lived so far out in the country we
didn't lock our doors or anything like that. She came
back about ten minutes later, busted in our house screaming
and crying, and she just kept saying, there is a
naked monkey out there, There is a naked monkey out there,
and I'm not driving home. And I remember my dad
(13:43):
calming her down in half an and she left her
car at our house and he had to take her
home because she refused to drive because she was so
scared of whatever it is that she saw. And I
remember I've tried to talk to her about that sighting
refuses to talk about it. But you kept saying a
(14:04):
naked monkey. So that to me tells me it was
something in between, because I mean, of course a monkey's
going to be naked, but I just manage say there's
a huge naked monkey out there, I'm not driving home.
I mean, she was pure panic, and so that leads
(14:26):
up to my sighting, which I was nineteen and I
was still living home with my parents, but I still
had a twelve o'clock curfew, and I was coming home.
I was about a half mile from the house, and
the part in the road where I'm talking about that
you have to come up to a bridge and it
(14:47):
goes over a pretty large ditch. And I had my
brights on and I saw a humanoid figure take one step,
and it was in the middle of the road, and
then you could see it turned toward my car. So
of course I had to slam on my brakes, you know,
(15:07):
And I was probably not even a foot away from
it before I slowed down because I was speeding trying
to get home before curfew.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And it bent over.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Because it was looking at my toward my car, toward
my windshield. It bent over and put both its hands
on my hood and it was looking down at my hood,
and then it looked up at me and we just
stared at each other, into each other's eyes. And this
is again what I'm saying. I don't know if it
(15:41):
was telepathic, I don't know what it was, or if
I was just reading what its facial expression was looking like,
but all I got from it it was no aggression.
It was almost sadness, and like I just kept feeling
like it was saying I am still here. And it
(16:05):
probably lasted only probably ten seconds, but it felt like
ten minutes because then it just stood straight up, turned
and one step was off the road and was down
in that ditch. And I remember, I mean I sped.
I wasn't scared when it happened. I was in shock,
(16:26):
and I remember, like I didn't like speed off. I
went so slow that half mile or so down the
road and it I didn't start getting scared till I
parked my car because I would have to get out
and walk probably like fifty paces to get inside, and
we had no lights. It was pitch blackout. That's when
(16:48):
fear hit me, because I knew something was out there.
And I remember going in and the only thing I
could say that was nineteen and you got to remember
where my eye was at. I just kept saying it
was a monster, and it had the biggest hairy butt
(17:10):
I have ever seen.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I mean, its.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Glues were just huge and the muscle, and I was,
of course, I was getting hysterical. My dad was trying
to calm me down, and I mean I could see
its private region and I was like, it was a
man and he did not have any clothes on Dad,
you know like, and of course that got him outraged
(17:34):
because he's thinking, there's, you know, a perverted person out there.
So he called the cops and by the time they
got the story out of me, they wrote the you know,
the the siding off as a bear walking across the road,
you know, standing on its two hind feet. I live
(17:57):
in northern Indiana. There is no bear. I don't think
there's ever been a bear hair except out of zoo.
And honestly, I know what I saw. I looked at
right in the face, and that's why I remember being
so upset that they wouldn't believe me. And I was
more upset with my dad because my dad was like,
(18:19):
you know, just let the police officer do his job,
and he kept shutting.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Me down and he wouldn't let me.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Talk about it afterwards because he said people would think
I was crazy. The whole face seemed pretty flat. It
had a very short forehead, grayish skin. I could see
the wrinkles in the forehead though, big round eyes. But
like I said, they looked like gentle eyes. I mean,
(18:48):
they weren't piercing or anything. They were big and round.
It had a very wide nose. I didn't see the teeth.
Its mouth was shut but straight across, but it had
pretty big lips. It was a blackish grayish color, I
(19:11):
want to say. But it was very dark out too,
and the only lights were the car lights. But like
I said, the car I had the brights on, so
I could see a lot. It was probably about seven
foot tall. It wasn't girthy. It wasn't it was tall
(19:33):
and lanky. I'm not gonna say it was skinny. It
was more like a basketball build, but it had really
broad shoulders. It would probably be about ten years ago.
I went to go stay with my brother for about
a week, and he only lived probably three miles away
(19:55):
from where that experience when I was nineteen happened. It
was bit further into the country, and we had a
bonfire at night, and he had lost his keys, and
we looked everywhere around that bonfire for the keys. We
looked on the porch, we looked in the house, we
looked everywhere for his keys, and finally we gave up.
(20:17):
We went to bed and when we got up the
next morning, his keys were laying like as soon as
you walked out of his front door, in the middle
of his porch, his keys were just laying there perfectly
in the middle. And of course my brother's like, things
like this are always happening, says, it's so weird out here.
(20:38):
He was like, things come are come up missing, and
then they could just come back. And then he had
three piples and they were digging at something in the yard,
and when we walked over there, you could see two footprints,
like barefoot footprints, like you can make out the toes,
the heel, everything perfectly. And then I remember him asking me,
(21:03):
He was like, why did you see that one time?
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Sis?
Speaker 5 (21:05):
You know?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
And I told him.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
He was like, I'm starting to believe the real Tara.
He was like, there's too much weird stuff that comes
up that goes on out here. But that's the only
thing that I experienced at his house.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
My big foot sightings happened in Gulf County, Florida. My
name is Derek. I'm originally from Sarasota, Florida. Kind of
a smaller concrete jungle. I can't really say small, fairly
large city, but a concrete jungle compared to where I
am now in Little Weewa, Hitchka, Florida, in the Gulf County.
(21:50):
I used to come up here every year with my dad.
My dad was a snake breeder and wild collector for
the pet trade, and I've had all kinds the reptiles
from all around the world. We've spent most of our
summer nights springing summer nights hunting for snakes, believe it
or not. Once a year, usually in mid June, we
(22:14):
would come up to Gulf County here to hunt particular
snakes that you don't find otherwise in the state. We
did all kinds of stuff while we were here. We'd
fish on the river, hang out with friends during the
day when we weren't hunting snakes.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Met a lot of people, you know.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
I now own a property from some older couple that
we had hung out with when I was younger up here.
Started coming up here when I was eight years old.
The first thing wasn't a physical sighting not far from
where I live, less than a five minute drive. There's
(22:58):
a road. I'm not sure that I should drop names
or anything. I guess it doesn't matter. There's a road
nearby me Jarrett Daniels Road, major road between my major road,
even though we're in a very desolate area where we're at,
and another major highway that runs into Panama City, Florida.
(23:21):
Used to be the first end of it closest to
my house was paved, but then it was a dirt
road all the way across to the other side, not
far beyond the lot the last house. The dirt started
going towards Highway twenty two and one year we were
(23:42):
up here snake hunting. We had just stopped not long
before that for a small banded water snake, and we
jumped back in the truck. And we used to stop
for snake crawl marts occasionally to check out which direction
they were going in. Sometimes snake hadn't moved very far
off the road, we'd take a quick look of rounds.
(24:05):
So one night we see what we think is a
snake crawl mark, and we stop and these are sugar
sandy roads. We jump out of the truck with the
flashlights and whatnot. It's not really that long after dark,
less than an hour probably, and we walk up on
what we think is going to be a snake crawl mark,
(24:27):
and it turned out to be very large footprints. I'm
going to take a guess, fifteen to seventeen inches long,
five six inches wide. Maybe I could see the look
in my dad's eyes. He walked up and started studying
(24:47):
what he was looking at, and very shock and awe.
You know, a pretty interesting moment. And then when I
finally realized, you know, why he's in this state, we're
looking at it and realizing it's gigantic footprints. We do
(25:09):
have pictures of them. They're probably somewhere here in the house.
You know, those old film cameras come with sleeves of
pictures after you, you know, get them developed or whatever.
I'm sure they're in one of those sleeps somewhere. We
had to develop them at some point or another and
brought them up the subsequent year. Showed them to a
(25:31):
friend of ours that lived in White City, Florida. Here
old snake hunter, an antiques deealer in the area who
no longer lives here. Older man maybe dead now moved
to Pensacola last I knew to his sister's place, and
he lived here his whole life. He did share some
(25:53):
paranormal stories with us, which did not involve a big
foot sighting at all, he wanted to believe that what
the footprints were was a bear running across the road,
because they bring their feet together as they run. I
(26:15):
guess one might try to conclude that maybe he just
wanted to write off what we had saw. Pictures don't
do it as much justice as looking at it, you know, physically,
especially when the pictures were taken at night under flash.
But from what I remember staring at as a probably
ten year old child at that time, I don't believe
(26:39):
it was a bear that ran across the road where
two feet had come together as it would have strided
across the road, or what everyone to say. I believe,
you know, based on what I remember seeing. The outline
of the footprint, even in the sugar sand, wasn't broken
on the edges or anything like that. I do believe
(27:02):
it was a large, solid footprint, multiples going across the road.
But that was my very first, you know, ever evidence
of seeing something like that. I've always kind of been
into aliens and ghosts and cryptids and things like that,
even as a young child, but up until that point,
(27:26):
never actually thought i'd see anything like that.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Probably two years.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
Later, we are driving down what it is paved on
two sides, but a dirt in the middle, very long
road between the physical city of Wuiewa.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Near the Chipola River.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
There's a boat ramp at the end of the main
road that this road is off of called Gaskin. There's
a little public park there roads called Iola. It runs
off the way across to Scott's Ferry. It's an area
called Scott's Ferry. Is a campground there, volunteer fire department,
stuff like that. The road is paved more on the
(28:14):
further end where this sighting had took place, but at
that point in time, it was still dirt at that area.
It's it's still dirt in the middle at a point,
but it's it's paved further inward towards the middle of
the road. Now no houses in this particular area. You're
still two or three miles off of coming up on
(28:35):
the houses on the farther end of what was the
Bay Road at that point in time. We're coming back
in the direction going back towards Uewa hitchkut. And you know,
my dad doesn't have the greatest eyes in the world.
Usually would wear glasses or contacts or whatever. But due
(28:57):
to that he doesn't look out as far in front
of the truck as I do. While we're snake hunting,
and in this particular night, a kid that a kid
native to the area.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Was with us, a kid named.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
Anthony, son of a family we would befriended up here
and hung out with all the time and stuff during
the day while we weren't snake hunting, and late at
night after we were done snake hunting.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
So I were cruising down the road.
Speaker 7 (29:27):
And my dad doesn't see it at all, but a
large upright ape like creature maybe one hundred and fifty
foot in front of the truck runs across the road.
Very interesting looking animal, reddish brown color, possibly some gray
(29:50):
if they didn't have to do with the lighting of
the truck. Hunched over, I'm going to say in it's
hunched over state six and a half, but tall possibly
if it was fully you know, erect or whatever you
want to say, maybe seven or better be tall. So
(30:11):
this thing runs in front of the truck and I
immediately go, whoa did you see that? And Anthony did
in fact see it as well. My Dad's like, what
are you talking about? What you see? And I was like, dude, seriously,
a big foot just ran in front of the truck.
He did not see that, and he, of course he
(30:31):
didn't see it. So we had stopped shortly afterwards, and
he had got out. At the time, I wasn't crazy, fearful.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
I was with my.
Speaker 7 (30:44):
Dad, you know, a man's man kind of guy. You know,
I'm a young kid, you know, trusting in my dad's safety.
Anthony did get out with us. His parents, I believe,
were actually cruising kind of opposite of on the same road,
just kind of helping us stratifying some snakes. We had
(31:04):
got out to see if we could see tracks, to
verify what I had claimed it seen. But where it
had run across the road, it didn't leave tracks. It
was more like a shuffle, like it didn't lift its
feet more or less shuffled across the road, and as
(31:27):
it ran hunched over. As I was saying, it had
the very classic you know, arms longer than its knees,
swinging back and forth pretty decently, definitely an enter.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
I didn't get a good look at its face.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
It was a total you know, side view of the
animal or whatever you want.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
To call it. Just an awe striking moment.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
We checked out what turned out to be the scuffle
of marchs across the road and jump back in the truck.
Didn't go too far, maybe two three hundred yards out
the road, and there's an eastern checkered garter snake in
the road, and generally I would jump out to just
(32:20):
grab the snakes on my own terms. And I was like,
I want to see you catch that one. I was like,
I don't know about that. You want to get out
there and catch this one, dad, you know so? But
you know, I'm not crazy, fearful or anything, but wary
to go out there by myself, not even that far
(32:42):
from the truck by any means. That's pretty much that
particular sighting. I guess, you know, I continued to go
out in the woods and stuff, no problem at all.
I guess I always have that lingering thought in the
(33:03):
back of my mind, you know, that I could see
something like that again based on the second sighting, and
I don't necessarily think they're that aggressive in all cases,
at least, even though I was pretty scared during the
second sighting because I was by myself, but I went
(33:27):
out in the woods, you know, the swamp rather.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Near Anthony's house.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
We looked for crawfish and turtles and snakes and stuff
during the daytime, and other than that lingering thought in
the back of my mind, really didn't worry about it
a whole lot. I still go out in the swamps
to these days. I'm now a forager and whatnot. I
foraged wild fruits like for simmons, and then hunt chant
(33:56):
rail mushrooms and boat leads and things like that, medicinal mushrooms.
So don't let it drive me out of the woods
by any means, still something I love to do. I've
passed on the snake hunting tradition to my children. No,
my daughter is still very young, but she'll hold a snake,
(34:20):
and my wife still won't after eighteen years. Sun will
catch on me sixteen and all that good stuff. But anyways,
for the second sighting, still not very far from my house.
There's a road not but a few miles from my
house that cuts across between my major road, which is
(34:41):
Highway three eighty six, also known as Overstreet to the locals.
That's the main drag between Weewahitchka and Mexico Beach. The
road's called Road twenty. It's also called Robert's Landing Road,
a very large dirt road, takes you close to a
half an hour to drive across to White City, where
(35:02):
our friend Jack lives or lived. But one year we
were staying at Jack's house. We used to rent at
a hotel that no longer exists here in town. He's
called Big B's at one point in time, switched to
a name called Swampies at a different point in time.
It's now a by Right drug store. And so we
(35:22):
were staying at Jack's house this particular year. It was
probably two years after that first physical sighting, maybe the
subsequent year, probably two years after my dad had drug
our four wheeler up here. I had a Honda four
hundred sports Tracks, not an automatic manual. Wasn't very great
(35:45):
at driving it yet the very first time it actually
went out driving at a different location in Sarasota where
we lived, had actually crashed into a ditch. But that
being said, we'd brought it up here that one year,
and we're staying at Jack's house at the far end
of Road twenty in White City.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
I decided one day that I was going to.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
Get out on the four wheeler and ride out into
the road during the daytime, like I said, very long road.
Takes a good long time to travel across it. You know,
we're usually cruising slow, you know, thirty miles an hour
or whatever, and it takes you a good while to
get across. So I'm riding this four wheeler maybe.
Speaker 6 (36:32):
Third to half.
Speaker 7 (36:34):
Wayish out into the woods. It was all paper pine
plantation here. The original woods that was here probably a
very long time ago, one hundred and fifty years ago
or whatever, had been logged over and over again. Saint
Joe Paper Company had owned all the land here and
(36:54):
replanted you know, paper pine trees in perfect straight rows.
So it's just a giant wilderness of paper pines. It's
now been bought by the Mormon Church. It's converting a
lot of the land into cow fields, and some of
it's being replanted in paper pine. But all those years ago,
still owned by the Saint Joe Paper Company, their facility
(37:17):
wasn't operating here anymore. The paper mill had moved over
to Panama City, Florida at.
Speaker 6 (37:23):
That point in time.
Speaker 7 (37:26):
And I'm riding down the road pretty far out there
by myself on a four wheeler that I'm not the
greatest at working, and I'm just staring down the perfect
rows of trees as I cruise along, enjoying myself. Maybe
I could run into certain snakes in the middle of
the day, hognose snakes, black racers, rattle snakes, as opposed
(37:48):
to most of the stuff we'd looked for as usually
in the early mornings and evenings or at snakes, king snakes,
and stuff like that. So I'm passing a particular, you know,
a row of trees, and as I'm looking down, there's
a massive figure standing front side to me, two hundred
(38:11):
foot off the road. Maybe I would say it had
to have been brownish, close to seven foot tall.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
It was in full shade of all these large trees, so.
Speaker 7 (38:26):
I can't get a totally accurate description of its color, height,
and stuff.
Speaker 6 (38:32):
No problem.
Speaker 7 (38:33):
I could see it well, just in the shade, the
darkness of the trees, but very much I could tell
what it was for sure. So in a you know,
almost like time stopping, you know, a wave of fear
coming on, like holy stuff, I'm out here by myself,
(39:00):
quickly try to swing the four wheeler around to go
back to the other direction where safety would be, and
in this period to try to do so, I in
stall the four wheeler without hardly getting but turned around,
and I'm shaking crazy and freaking out really mostly I
(39:23):
guess due to being by myself, you know, being with
my dad and in a vehicle and stuff.
Speaker 6 (39:28):
During the first one.
Speaker 7 (39:30):
Very interesting, but just not that level of fear by
any means. I gave it several tries. I couldn't feather
out the clutch, just freaking out too bad. I kept
stalling it over and over again, not making it more.
Speaker 6 (39:47):
In a foot or do at a time.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
So I could hear the pine needles and stuff crunching
out there in the woods, and I don't think it
was coming towards me. I do think it was moving
kind of parallel to the road, but in this state
of fear, I get off the four wheeler and I'm
(40:12):
trying to look between the trees and I'm not seeing it,
but I'm still hearing it, and I couldn't lay eyes
on it again, maybe hiding somehow from my sight. There's
other brush and stuff grown between some of the lanes
and whatnot of the trees. So I start screaming into
(40:34):
the woods all kinds of choice words. Even as a
probably twelve thirteen year old child, maybe fourteen, just flat
out screaming at the woods. And after a minute or
two of doing that, I decided I'd better try to
(40:54):
get on the four wheeler and just go. So I
got on it, and after three or four tries, I
finally got it to go, and I bruised on out
of there and never went back out there again by
myself on that before we other. And that's pretty much that.
(41:16):
Like I said, I'm a short, sweeten to the point
kind of guy. Nothing paranormal at all about the Bigfoot sightings.
You know, obviously they didn't disappear or or whatever. At
what I saw I believed to be flesh and blood.
I do these days, after watching many many videos, reading
(41:39):
many many things, studying other cryptids and things like that,
I do believe there is potentially some paranormal aspects to them,
But for the little that I did get to observe them,
absolutely no paranormal activity from my physical sightings at all.
(42:02):
That said, there is a lot of sightings near Sarasota, Florida,
particularly in the Maaca City region. As far as I know,
my dad's girlfriend owns a property or families owned it
for years. Getting out towards Arcadia Downstate Road seventy two
(42:23):
from Sarasota, Florida, and they own a property at a
place called Forest Creek. Throw a couple of big parties
out there every year with all their childhood friends family.
There could be you know, sixty to one hundred people
there any given year, twice a year, usually riding four
wheelers through the woods, desolate area, not far from another
(42:47):
road we used to snake nut out there, called Siddale Road.
One night, she's coming home from her property out there,
I think, if I remember correct, is probably like eleven
o'clock at night, and she screws in down State Road
seventy two, pretty close to the mouth of Siddell Road,
(43:09):
where I snake hunted many times as a younger man.
And this thing's just straight walking down the road. And
full faith and credit in this woman. If she said
she saw that, I believe it. My dad's been with
her for probably over twenty years.
Speaker 6 (43:29):
Good person, loving person. You know. I'm just not going
to tell any bs.
Speaker 7 (43:36):
And I do believe she saw something out there as well,
as I guess other people have as well.
Speaker 6 (43:45):
A different story.
Speaker 7 (43:47):
My dad and his buddy, obviously reptile collectors used to
go down by Lake Okachovie to a place they called
the jungle. I'm not sure why it's called that, It's
just something they named it. I had never stepped foot
there before. Back when they did it more often, I
was very young, you know, talking five, six, seven years old,
(44:10):
and they would go down there in the middle of
the night and hunt through this wooded area. But like
I said, they called the jungle, and you'd carry a box,
you know, sealed up or whatever with a hole big
enough to put your thumb in, and you walk through
the woods at night, because the lizards would sleep on
(44:31):
the leaves and branches of the trees, and you could
just walk up and pluck them like there were cherries
off the plants, and you'd pull your thumb out real quick,
shove a lizard in the box, and keep on going.
And then back then they'd probably get like twenty five
cents apiece for a lizard, and you could go out
there and screw around in the woods all night and
come home with four hundred lizards of three different kinds,
(44:56):
you know, base green and oles and the invasive brown
and oles, skinks, things like that, and then sell them
wholesale to different reptile dealers used to sell them to
a place called Silver City Sercuentarium, which I have no
idea they're still in business or not. Now I'm pretty
(45:17):
sure they're not. But in recent years Allen had passed away,
probably close to a year ago now from a heart attack,
but maybe a year prior to that.
Speaker 6 (45:29):
My dad and him had.
Speaker 7 (45:31):
Gone down to the jungle and they'd never had any
experiences that were out of the ordinary there before. And
him and my dad walking through there were flashlights at night,
collecting lizards in the occasional snake potentially yellow rat, snake,
oorn snake or whatever you might run across there in
the middle of night.
Speaker 6 (45:52):
You know, they're walking through there, and my dad's here
and Brallen noises all around them, they both are. Matter
how hard they try, they can't put a flash light on.
Speaker 7 (46:03):
It seems to be going all around them, like you'd
hear it in front of you at one point, and
then in the blank of an eye it's behind you,
to the side of you. And they couldn't, for the
life of them get a glimpse of what was going on,
just that they did not feel welcome, They did not
feel like they should be there and couldn't get a
(46:26):
sighting at all of whatever was bothering them out there
that night, and of course it breaks both of them
out to some extent or another. And these are you know,
man's man kind of guys that are used to being
in the woods, you know, love nature on it, you know,
things like that, and to freak them out bad enough,
(46:48):
you know, that makes you question wanting to go back.
Speaker 6 (46:52):
It's pretty interesting in and of itself.
Speaker 7 (46:55):
But for whatever reason, not long after that, Allen goes
back out there by him.
Speaker 6 (47:01):
And has an experience.
Speaker 7 (47:05):
If I remember the story correctly, and I can get
it from my dad again.
Speaker 6 (47:08):
Since Allan's no longer around to tell the.
Speaker 7 (47:11):
Tale, he encountered three creatures, relatively face to face within
feet of him, maybe five to ten foot, I don't know.
They got pretty close upon him, if I remember correctly,
burred humanoid creatures larger than him, and he's not a
small guy. He said they had red glowing eyes, and
(47:33):
he would describe them to be demons, not necessarily the
average sasquatch by any means, but sasasquatch like an appearance
boding him anyways, and break him out so bad that
he had pledged she was never going back there again,
and my dad, after having the experience they had together
(47:56):
online before that, he's like, dude, no, we need to
go out there and we need to check it out.
But Alan refused to do it, and before he had died,
he could not be convinced to go back out there.
And then not long long ago, several weeks back, my
dad and his girlfriend had drove down to the lake
(48:17):
there and tried to find the jungle. Salin had always
led the way of you know, driving or whatever to
the spot. My dad was pretty sure he knew where
it was, you know, by himself or whatever, but wasn't
one hundred percent. And they're pretty sure they found the
area where that was, but now it is under construction
and being in torn apart, so that particular area no
(48:41):
longer exists as far.
Speaker 6 (48:42):
As I know.
Speaker 7 (48:43):
But just an interesting tale from another guy. I have
absolute fool faith and credit him, another guy I believed
to have the proclivity to see things, though I think
that was his only I guess I could say sasquatch
like encounter. He's had several other interesting encounters in his day,
(49:11):
UFOs and.
Speaker 6 (49:12):
Things like that.
Speaker 7 (49:15):
It's probably not the craziest stories you've ever heard, you know,
or whatever. Just I'm here to give a testimony about
something I saw.
Speaker 6 (49:24):
They're definitely here.
Speaker 7 (49:27):
I'm not the only one who's seen them. They're They're
definitely out there, and I just wanted to tell my story.
It's a bit more on the mundane side. I understand
that it happened a long time ago as a kid.
I'm thirty six years old now doing my own thing
(49:48):
and whatever. Still in my mind, still think about it
when I'm out there in the woods by myself. It's
not a major bother, but I guess I could say
I'm a bit more vigilant. But and I've now lived
here in Leewall daily for a little over eight years
(50:13):
and I haven't yet seen another one. I'm not sure
I ever will, but I'm certainly in their territory, and
someday I do hope to see one again. And perhaps
i'd like to hope my children and wife were there
to see it with me.
Speaker 6 (50:34):
I don't know what else I can say about it.
Speaker 8 (50:38):
Well, that's it for tonight's show. If you've had a
big Foot siding and would like to be a guest,
please go to my bigfoot sighting dot com and let
us know thanks for listening. Have a great night seeing

Speaker 5 (01:03):
My Bigfoot sighting happened about a half mile from my
family farm. It was about one hundred and forty seven acres.
It was about half wooded, half farmland. I just remember
growing up I was interacting with something. My bedroom was
(01:24):
on the second floor. There was a tree outside of
my window, but it wasn't a tree that you could climb.
There was no limbs or anything anybody could climb. It
just went straight up and I would find rocks on
my window seal, or a turtle, a baby squirrel that
(01:46):
fell out of the nest. It was gifts all the
time on my window seal, and I just remember getting
in trouble from my parents, you know, because I was
bringing wildlife into the house because I would keep them
in pet as pets in my bedroom, and then in return,
(02:06):
I would leave things on the window sill and they
would come up missing, you know, like little trinkets legos.
I remember leaving one of those Gi Joe Lady Jane
figures and it would come up missing, but then I
would find it out in the woods later on. And
we were very strong Catholic. My parents didn't believe in
(02:30):
TV or anything. I was allowed to watch a half
hour of TV a week, so I the only thing
I could think of that it was was a spirit
or a ghost, because that's all I knew about. So
it was a lot of little things like that happening.
I have one experience that I can recall. I was
(02:53):
probably around eight years old, and I had my favorite
tree that I would go and read under. The no
kids around for me to play with, so I spent
a lot of time by myself out in the woods
or around the animals that we raised. And I was
setting under this tree and I knew something was around me,
(03:15):
but I never saw anything. And then all of a sudden,
stones were getting thrown at me, Apples were getting thrown
at me because there was an apple tree. Then a
large limb came at me. And that's the first time
I ever felt aggression from whatever it was I was experiencing.
(03:36):
And I remember getting all upset. You know, I was
still a young girl, and I was crying and I
ran to my dad and I'm like, they're being mean
to me, and they thought I had an imaginary friend,
you know. So of course, looking back, I don't know
why he did this. But he grabbed a shotgun and
he was like, well, show me where you were out
(03:56):
in the woods. And when we went out there, he
climbed that tree and it was hollow inside. And I
lived in northern Indiana. The biggest animal we have, or
most dangerous animal we have around here, is maybe a coyote,
or if you counter a raccoon. There's no big animals
(04:18):
around here. But I remember when he climbed that tree
and he looked down in that tree, he looked at me.
He came down. He looked at me and very quietly,
he says, I want you to start running to the house,
and he ran behind me, and we ran as fast
as we could up to the house. And it ended
up there was a mountain lion inside that tree. So
(04:40):
whatever it was that was out in that woods was
scaring me out way from that tree. It wanted me
out of that woods. And thinking back, my dad grabbed
that shotgun. There was no reason for my dad to
grab that shotgun. And unfortunately he passed away, but I
honestly think he knew something was out there too. I
(05:01):
can't go back and I can't ask him, you know,
did you know about you know, bigfoot being behind our house?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Because it was just weird that he grabbed that shotgun.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
There was no reason for him because they all thought
I was making I had an imaginary friends, you know,
because I was so lonely, so because I would always,
you know, be like, well, I have to take extra
sandwiches with me to give to my friends, you know,
because I would leave them for them.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
In that.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
The next experience that I can really think of, like
the two that I told you about, you know, where
I feel like they saved my life. We had a
huge barn I'm talking to this with a big red
you know farm barns, and it had tractors in it.
It had a basement where we kept the cows, and
hay loft. There was a silo attached, I mean, and
(05:57):
we had pigs in there. We had chickens in there.
And I want to say I was about eleven twelve
years old and I was up on the second floor
in the hayloft and of course i'm reading, you know,
just hanging out there, and it was summer vacation, and
all of a sudden, the gates kept opening, and like
first it was the cows got out, and I remember
(06:20):
again I didn't know what I was interacting with, but
I remember being like, you need to stop it because
I can't round these animals up, and my dad will
get mad that they're out. And then all of a sudden,
I hear another you know gate open. The pigs got out,
and I'm like, what is going on? Then the door
flew open and all the chickens got out, and I'm like, dude,
(06:44):
I'm going to get in so much trouble. And I
remember talking out loud to them, you know, like stop it.
You're gonna get me in so much trouble. I was like,
there's no way I can get these animals back in
by myself, you know. And then I'm not going to
say it was telepathic, because I don't know if it
was that, but maybe I put it together that they
(07:06):
wanted every animal out of that barn for some reason,
and we had just had a mother cat that had kittens.
So I got a bucket around and I got the
kittens out and the cat out. So I was like,
you know, I remember yelling out to them, are you
happy all the animals are out? And I'm going to
get grounded and blah blah blah. Like I remember just
(07:28):
going on and on to them about it. And then
I sat back down and started reading my book, and
then all of a sudden, a bucket came, you know,
flying over my head. And then I mean it got
to the point a pitchfork came at me, but it
didn't hit me, but it came very close to me,
(07:50):
and I was like, okay, so you want me out
of here. So I was a very sensitive child, so
I started crying and took off running, grabbed my stuff,
took off, run into the house did not even get
halfway up out of the house, that whole tire barn collapsed.
I mean the earth shook. I mean it was like
(08:10):
Tanning's going off.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
It was so loud.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
And my dad he worked like maybe three miles down
the road and he had one of those big monster
tired trucks and you can hear the you know, on
the pavement as it's coming. And I was on the
other side of the house, so he didn't see me,
and he knew I hung out in that barn a
lot in the summer, and I remember he got out
of that truck and all I heard him scream was Terra.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Where is Terra?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
And I came around the house and I'm like, I'm
right here, and he's like, oh, thank god, you weren't
in that barn. I was like, no, no, no, and
he was like I remember him rubbing my head, rubbing
his head and all the animals are dead. Oh my gosh,
all the livestock's dead. And I was like, no, they're
all out. And I remember he'd been looked at me.
He's like, what do you mean all out? I was like,
(09:00):
I let them all out, and I said I did it,
you know, because I knew that he wasn't gonna believe
me that my imaginary friends that's what they called them,
told me, you know, to let them all out and
get the cats out and everything. But I remember he
looked at me so strangely, and I remember he gave
me a hugg. He was like, I'm asking no questions.
(09:21):
He was like, just thank God. But I just remember,
like those were two incidents that stuck in my head
where they were watching over me. Probably the next experience
after that was I had one sister and three brothers,
(09:42):
and me and my brothers we did not get along,
you know, just as brothers and sisters don't. And I
did something to my brother that made him mad. So
I remember he went up and took like my radio
and like, you know, some trinkets and stuff that he
knew that I cared about, and he took him out
(10:03):
in the field and he buried him, and my mom
told him to go dig them up. Well, he claimed
he could not find where he buried them out in
the field because it was out in the cornfield. In
the corn was probably about five foot high at the time.
And I remember the next morning getting up and on
(10:24):
our patio in the middle was all the trinkets had been,
you know, uncovered, unburied and put on our patio. And
when I asked my brother, you know, like, oh, you
went and got those after all, he said no, he
did not get them. He does not know how they
got there. And I just feel like there was a
(10:45):
lot of times they looked out for me like that.
You know, this one was kind of going back in time.
I apologize for that. I was probably around eight nine
years old. It was the middle of winter, I want
to say, it was about forty degrees out, and my
parents were gone. My brothers were baby setting me and
they locked me out of the house. I had no
(11:07):
shoes on, no socks. I was in shorts and a
T shirt. And I was out there probably for a
good over four hours, huddled up by our water heater
to try to stay warm, and I remember I, you know,
fell asleep, probably was getting hypothermia, because I remember afterwards
my parents had to take me to the hospital and
(11:28):
they almost.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Had to take two of my toes off.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
But when I woke up around the water heater, there
was a blue tarp covering me. But I don't I
never got up to get a blue tarp. We had
no neighbors around and they were older, so if they
would have seen me, they wouldn't have put a tarp
on me. They would have you know, taken me in.
But I never woke up to see anything put that
(11:55):
tarp on me. There was another time again I had
no friends, loved animals, tried to collect every animal in
the world. I had a pet squirrel for over a
year that lived in my bedroom.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
There was many times we found.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
My parents would wake up and get me out of
bed and tell me I need to get that dog
out of the garage, and they were thinking, you know,
I put it there, it'd be like a neighbor's dog.
One time it was a doctor's saint Bernard that lived
over eight miles away, was in our garage and someone
would have had to open the door and put that
(12:36):
animal in there. But it was never me. He was
eight miles away. I ended up getting a hundred dollars
from that doctor too for finding that dog. But I
didn't find it. My parents just blamed it on me.
I guess my next incident would probably because I grew
up started going to high school. I was in three
(13:00):
for it, so I stopped hanging out outside in that
and so this was not really my incident. It was
a friend was taking me home one night mccurfew was
twelve o'clock and she had dropped me off at my
house and had drove away. Was gone maybe ten minutes,
(13:20):
and we lived so far out in the country we
didn't lock our doors or anything like that. She came
back about ten minutes later, busted in our house screaming
and crying, and she just kept saying, there is a
naked monkey out there, There is a naked monkey out there,
and I'm not driving home. And I remember my dad
(13:43):
calming her down in half an and she left her
car at our house and he had to take her
home because she refused to drive because she was so
scared of whatever it is that she saw. And I
remember I've tried to talk to her about that sighting
refuses to talk about it. But you kept saying a
(14:04):
naked monkey. So that to me tells me it was
something in between, because I mean, of course a monkey's
going to be naked, but I just manage say there's
a huge naked monkey out there, I'm not driving home.
I mean, she was pure panic, and so that leads
(14:26):
up to my sighting, which I was nineteen and I
was still living home with my parents, but I still
had a twelve o'clock curfew, and I was coming home.
I was about a half mile from the house, and
the part in the road where I'm talking about that
you have to come up to a bridge and it
(14:47):
goes over a pretty large ditch. And I had my
brights on and I saw a humanoid figure take one step,
and it was in the middle of the road, and
then you could see it turned toward my car. So
of course I had to slam on my brakes, you know,
(15:07):
And I was probably not even a foot away from
it before I slowed down because I was speeding trying
to get home before curfew.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And it bent over.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Because it was looking at my toward my car, toward
my windshield. It bent over and put both its hands
on my hood and it was looking down at my hood,
and then it looked up at me and we just
stared at each other, into each other's eyes. And this
is again what I'm saying. I don't know if it
(15:41):
was telepathic, I don't know what it was, or if
I was just reading what its facial expression was looking like,
but all I got from it it was no aggression.
It was almost sadness, and like I just kept feeling
like it was saying I am still here. And it
(16:05):
probably lasted only probably ten seconds, but it felt like
ten minutes because then it just stood straight up, turned
and one step was off the road and was down
in that ditch. And I remember, I mean I sped.
I wasn't scared when it happened. I was in shock,
(16:26):
and I remember, like I didn't like speed off. I
went so slow that half mile or so down the
road and it I didn't start getting scared till I
parked my car because I would have to get out
and walk probably like fifty paces to get inside, and
we had no lights. It was pitch blackout. That's when
(16:48):
fear hit me, because I knew something was out there.
And I remember going in and the only thing I
could say that was nineteen and you got to remember
where my eye was at. I just kept saying it
was a monster, and it had the biggest hairy butt
(17:10):
I have ever seen.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I mean, its.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Glues were just huge and the muscle, and I was,
of course, I was getting hysterical. My dad was trying
to calm me down, and I mean I could see
its private region and I was like, it was a
man and he did not have any clothes on Dad,
you know like, and of course that got him outraged
(17:34):
because he's thinking, there's, you know, a perverted person out there.
So he called the cops and by the time they
got the story out of me, they wrote the you know,
the the siding off as a bear walking across the road,
you know, standing on its two hind feet. I live
(17:57):
in northern Indiana. There is no bear. I don't think
there's ever been a bear hair except out of zoo.
And honestly, I know what I saw. I looked at
right in the face, and that's why I remember being
so upset that they wouldn't believe me. And I was
more upset with my dad because my dad was like,
(18:19):
you know, just let the police officer do his job,
and he kept shutting.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Me down and he wouldn't let me.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Talk about it afterwards because he said people would think
I was crazy. The whole face seemed pretty flat. It
had a very short forehead, grayish skin. I could see
the wrinkles in the forehead though, big round eyes. But
like I said, they looked like gentle eyes. I mean,
(18:48):
they weren't piercing or anything. They were big and round.
It had a very wide nose. I didn't see the teeth.
Its mouth was shut but straight across, but it had
pretty big lips. It was a blackish grayish color, I
(19:11):
want to say. But it was very dark out too,
and the only lights were the car lights. But like
I said, the car I had the brights on, so
I could see a lot. It was probably about seven
foot tall. It wasn't girthy. It wasn't it was tall
(19:33):
and lanky. I'm not gonna say it was skinny. It
was more like a basketball build, but it had really
broad shoulders. It would probably be about ten years ago.
I went to go stay with my brother for about
a week, and he only lived probably three miles away
(19:55):
from where that experience when I was nineteen happened. It
was bit further into the country, and we had a
bonfire at night, and he had lost his keys, and
we looked everywhere around that bonfire for the keys. We
looked on the porch, we looked in the house, we
looked everywhere for his keys, and finally we gave up.
(20:17):
We went to bed and when we got up the
next morning, his keys were laying like as soon as
you walked out of his front door, in the middle
of his porch, his keys were just laying there perfectly
in the middle. And of course my brother's like, things
like this are always happening, says, it's so weird out here.
(20:38):
He was like, things come are come up missing, and
then they could just come back. And then he had
three piples and they were digging at something in the yard,
and when we walked over there, you could see two footprints,
like barefoot footprints, like you can make out the toes,
the heel, everything perfectly. And then I remember him asking me,
(21:03):
He was like, why did you see that one time?
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Sis?
Speaker 5 (21:05):
You know?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
And I told him.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
He was like, I'm starting to believe the real Tara.
He was like, there's too much weird stuff that comes
up that goes on out here. But that's the only
thing that I experienced at his house.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
My big foot sightings happened in Gulf County, Florida. My
name is Derek. I'm originally from Sarasota, Florida. Kind of
a smaller concrete jungle. I can't really say small, fairly
large city, but a concrete jungle compared to where I
am now in Little Weewa, Hitchka, Florida, in the Gulf County.
(21:50):
I used to come up here every year with my dad.
My dad was a snake breeder and wild collector for
the pet trade, and I've had all kinds the reptiles
from all around the world. We've spent most of our
summer nights springing summer nights hunting for snakes, believe it
or not. Once a year, usually in mid June, we
(22:14):
would come up to Gulf County here to hunt particular
snakes that you don't find otherwise in the state. We
did all kinds of stuff while we were here. We'd
fish on the river, hang out with friends during the
day when we weren't hunting snakes.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Met a lot of people, you know.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
I now own a property from some older couple that
we had hung out with when I was younger up here.
Started coming up here when I was eight years old.
The first thing wasn't a physical sighting not far from
where I live, less than a five minute drive. There's
(22:58):
a road. I'm not sure that I should drop names
or anything. I guess it doesn't matter. There's a road
nearby me Jarrett Daniels Road, major road between my major road,
even though we're in a very desolate area where we're at,
and another major highway that runs into Panama City, Florida.
(23:21):
Used to be the first end of it closest to
my house was paved, but then it was a dirt
road all the way across to the other side, not
far beyond the lot the last house. The dirt started
going towards Highway twenty two and one year we were
(23:42):
up here snake hunting. We had just stopped not long
before that for a small banded water snake, and we
jumped back in the truck. And we used to stop
for snake crawl marts occasionally to check out which direction
they were going in. Sometimes snake hadn't moved very far
off the road, we'd take a quick look of rounds.
(24:05):
So one night we see what we think is a
snake crawl mark, and we stop and these are sugar
sandy roads. We jump out of the truck with the
flashlights and whatnot. It's not really that long after dark,
less than an hour probably, and we walk up on
what we think is going to be a snake crawl mark,
(24:27):
and it turned out to be very large footprints. I'm
going to take a guess, fifteen to seventeen inches long,
five six inches wide. Maybe I could see the look
in my dad's eyes. He walked up and started studying
(24:47):
what he was looking at, and very shock and awe.
You know, a pretty interesting moment. And then when I
finally realized, you know, why he's in this state, we're
looking at it and realizing it's gigantic footprints. We do
(25:09):
have pictures of them. They're probably somewhere here in the house.
You know, those old film cameras come with sleeves of
pictures after you, you know, get them developed or whatever.
I'm sure they're in one of those sleeps somewhere. We
had to develop them at some point or another and
brought them up the subsequent year. Showed them to a
(25:31):
friend of ours that lived in White City, Florida. Here
old snake hunter, an antiques deealer in the area who
no longer lives here. Older man maybe dead now moved
to Pensacola last I knew to his sister's place, and
he lived here his whole life. He did share some
(25:53):
paranormal stories with us, which did not involve a big
foot sighting at all, he wanted to believe that what
the footprints were was a bear running across the road,
because they bring their feet together as they run. I
(26:15):
guess one might try to conclude that maybe he just
wanted to write off what we had saw. Pictures don't
do it as much justice as looking at it, you know, physically,
especially when the pictures were taken at night under flash.
But from what I remember staring at as a probably
ten year old child at that time, I don't believe
(26:39):
it was a bear that ran across the road where
two feet had come together as it would have strided
across the road, or what everyone to say. I believe,
you know, based on what I remember seeing. The outline
of the footprint, even in the sugar sand, wasn't broken
on the edges or anything like that. I do believe
(27:02):
it was a large, solid footprint, multiples going across the road.
But that was my very first, you know, ever evidence
of seeing something like that. I've always kind of been
into aliens and ghosts and cryptids and things like that,
even as a young child, but up until that point,
(27:26):
never actually thought i'd see anything like that.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Probably two years.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
Later, we are driving down what it is paved on
two sides, but a dirt in the middle, very long
road between the physical city of Wuiewa.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Near the Chipola River.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
There's a boat ramp at the end of the main
road that this road is off of called Gaskin. There's
a little public park there roads called Iola. It runs
off the way across to Scott's Ferry. It's an area
called Scott's Ferry. Is a campground there, volunteer fire department,
stuff like that. The road is paved more on the
(28:14):
further end where this sighting had took place, but at
that point in time, it was still dirt at that area.
It's it's still dirt in the middle at a point,
but it's it's paved further inward towards the middle of
the road. Now no houses in this particular area. You're
still two or three miles off of coming up on
(28:35):
the houses on the farther end of what was the
Bay Road at that point in time. We're coming back
in the direction going back towards Uewa hitchkut. And you know,
my dad doesn't have the greatest eyes in the world.
Usually would wear glasses or contacts or whatever. But due
(28:57):
to that he doesn't look out as far in front
of the truck as I do. While we're snake hunting,
and in this particular night, a kid that a kid
native to the area.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Was with us, a kid named.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
Anthony, son of a family we would befriended up here
and hung out with all the time and stuff during
the day while we weren't snake hunting, and late at
night after we were done snake hunting.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
So I were cruising down the road.
Speaker 7 (29:27):
And my dad doesn't see it at all, but a
large upright ape like creature maybe one hundred and fifty
foot in front of the truck runs across the road.
Very interesting looking animal, reddish brown color, possibly some gray
(29:50):
if they didn't have to do with the lighting of
the truck. Hunched over, I'm going to say in it's
hunched over state six and a half, but tall possibly
if it was fully you know, erect or whatever you
want to say, maybe seven or better be tall. So
(30:11):
this thing runs in front of the truck and I
immediately go, whoa did you see that? And Anthony did
in fact see it as well. My Dad's like, what
are you talking about? What you see? And I was like, dude, seriously,
a big foot just ran in front of the truck.
He did not see that, and he, of course he
(30:31):
didn't see it. So we had stopped shortly afterwards, and
he had got out. At the time, I wasn't crazy, fearful.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
I was with my.
Speaker 7 (30:44):
Dad, you know, a man's man kind of guy. You know,
I'm a young kid, you know, trusting in my dad's safety.
Anthony did get out with us. His parents, I believe,
were actually cruising kind of opposite of on the same road,
just kind of helping us stratifying some snakes. We had
(31:04):
got out to see if we could see tracks, to
verify what I had claimed it seen. But where it
had run across the road, it didn't leave tracks. It
was more like a shuffle, like it didn't lift its
feet more or less shuffled across the road, and as
(31:27):
it ran hunched over. As I was saying, it had
the very classic you know, arms longer than its knees,
swinging back and forth pretty decently, definitely an enter.
Speaker 6 (31:46):
I didn't get a good look at its face.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
It was a total you know, side view of the
animal or whatever you want.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
To call it. Just an awe striking moment.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
We checked out what turned out to be the scuffle
of marchs across the road and jump back in the truck.
Didn't go too far, maybe two three hundred yards out
the road, and there's an eastern checkered garter snake in
the road, and generally I would jump out to just
(32:20):
grab the snakes on my own terms. And I was like,
I want to see you catch that one. I was like,
I don't know about that. You want to get out
there and catch this one, dad, you know so? But
you know, I'm not crazy, fearful or anything, but wary
to go out there by myself, not even that far
(32:42):
from the truck by any means. That's pretty much that
particular sighting. I guess, you know, I continued to go
out in the woods and stuff, no problem at all.
I guess I always have that lingering thought in the
(33:03):
back of my mind, you know, that I could see
something like that again based on the second sighting, and
I don't necessarily think they're that aggressive in all cases,
at least, even though I was pretty scared during the
second sighting because I was by myself, but I went
(33:27):
out in the woods, you know, the swamp rather.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Near Anthony's house.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
We looked for crawfish and turtles and snakes and stuff
during the daytime, and other than that lingering thought in
the back of my mind, really didn't worry about it
a whole lot. I still go out in the swamps
to these days. I'm now a forager and whatnot. I
foraged wild fruits like for simmons, and then hunt chant
(33:56):
rail mushrooms and boat leads and things like that, medicinal mushrooms.
So don't let it drive me out of the woods
by any means, still something I love to do. I've
passed on the snake hunting tradition to my children. No,
my daughter is still very young, but she'll hold a snake,
(34:20):
and my wife still won't after eighteen years. Sun will
catch on me sixteen and all that good stuff. But anyways,
for the second sighting, still not very far from my house.
There's a road not but a few miles from my
house that cuts across between my major road, which is
(34:41):
Highway three eighty six, also known as Overstreet to the locals.
That's the main drag between Weewahitchka and Mexico Beach. The
road's called Road twenty. It's also called Robert's Landing Road,
a very large dirt road, takes you close to a
half an hour to drive across to White City, where
(35:02):
our friend Jack lives or lived. But one year we
were staying at Jack's house. We used to rent at
a hotel that no longer exists here in town. He's
called Big B's at one point in time, switched to
a name called Swampies at a different point in time.
It's now a by Right drug store. And so we
(35:22):
were staying at Jack's house this particular year. It was
probably two years after that first physical sighting, maybe the
subsequent year, probably two years after my dad had drug
our four wheeler up here. I had a Honda four
hundred sports Tracks, not an automatic manual. Wasn't very great
(35:45):
at driving it yet the very first time it actually
went out driving at a different location in Sarasota where
we lived, had actually crashed into a ditch. But that
being said, we'd brought it up here that one year,
and we're staying at Jack's house at the far end
of Road twenty in White City.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
I decided one day that I was going to.
Speaker 7 (36:08):
Get out on the four wheeler and ride out into
the road during the daytime, like I said, very long road.
Takes a good long time to travel across it. You know,
we're usually cruising slow, you know, thirty miles an hour
or whatever, and it takes you a good while to
get across. So I'm riding this four wheeler maybe.
Speaker 6 (36:32):
Third to half.
Speaker 7 (36:34):
Wayish out into the woods. It was all paper pine
plantation here. The original woods that was here probably a
very long time ago, one hundred and fifty years ago
or whatever, had been logged over and over again. Saint
Joe Paper Company had owned all the land here and
(36:54):
replanted you know, paper pine trees in perfect straight rows.
So it's just a giant wilderness of paper pines. It's
now been bought by the Mormon Church. It's converting a
lot of the land into cow fields, and some of
it's being replanted in paper pine. But all those years ago,
still owned by the Saint Joe Paper Company, their facility
(37:17):
wasn't operating here anymore. The paper mill had moved over
to Panama City, Florida at.
Speaker 6 (37:23):
That point in time.
Speaker 7 (37:26):
And I'm riding down the road pretty far out there
by myself on a four wheeler that I'm not the
greatest at working, and I'm just staring down the perfect
rows of trees as I cruise along, enjoying myself. Maybe
I could run into certain snakes in the middle of
the day, hognose snakes, black racers, rattle snakes, as opposed
(37:48):
to most of the stuff we'd looked for as usually
in the early mornings and evenings or at snakes, king snakes,
and stuff like that. So I'm passing a particular, you know,
a row of trees, and as I'm looking down, there's
a massive figure standing front side to me, two hundred
(38:11):
foot off the road. Maybe I would say it had
to have been brownish, close to seven foot tall.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
It was in full shade of all these large trees, so.
Speaker 7 (38:26):
I can't get a totally accurate description of its color, height,
and stuff.
Speaker 6 (38:32):
No problem.
Speaker 7 (38:33):
I could see it well, just in the shade, the
darkness of the trees, but very much I could tell
what it was for sure. So in a you know,
almost like time stopping, you know, a wave of fear
coming on, like holy stuff, I'm out here by myself,
(39:00):
quickly try to swing the four wheeler around to go
back to the other direction where safety would be, and
in this period to try to do so, I in
stall the four wheeler without hardly getting but turned around,
and I'm shaking crazy and freaking out really mostly I
(39:23):
guess due to being by myself, you know, being with
my dad and in a vehicle and stuff.
Speaker 6 (39:28):
During the first one.
Speaker 7 (39:30):
Very interesting, but just not that level of fear by
any means. I gave it several tries. I couldn't feather
out the clutch, just freaking out too bad. I kept
stalling it over and over again, not making it more.
Speaker 6 (39:47):
In a foot or do at a time.
Speaker 7 (39:51):
So I could hear the pine needles and stuff crunching
out there in the woods, and I don't think it
was coming towards me. I do think it was moving
kind of parallel to the road, but in this state
of fear, I get off the four wheeler and I'm
(40:12):
trying to look between the trees and I'm not seeing it,
but I'm still hearing it, and I couldn't lay eyes
on it again, maybe hiding somehow from my sight. There's
other brush and stuff grown between some of the lanes
and whatnot of the trees. So I start screaming into
(40:34):
the woods all kinds of choice words. Even as a
probably twelve thirteen year old child, maybe fourteen, just flat
out screaming at the woods. And after a minute or
two of doing that, I decided I'd better try to
(40:54):
get on the four wheeler and just go. So I
got on it, and after three or four tries, I
finally got it to go, and I bruised on out
of there and never went back out there again by
myself on that before we other. And that's pretty much that.
(41:16):
Like I said, I'm a short, sweeten to the point
kind of guy. Nothing paranormal at all about the Bigfoot sightings.
You know, obviously they didn't disappear or or whatever. At
what I saw I believed to be flesh and blood.
I do these days, after watching many many videos, reading
(41:39):
many many things, studying other cryptids and things like that,
I do believe there is potentially some paranormal aspects to them,
But for the little that I did get to observe them,
absolutely no paranormal activity from my physical sightings at all.
(42:02):
That said, there is a lot of sightings near Sarasota, Florida,
particularly in the Maaca City region. As far as I know,
my dad's girlfriend owns a property or families owned it
for years. Getting out towards Arcadia Downstate Road seventy two
(42:23):
from Sarasota, Florida, and they own a property at a
place called Forest Creek. Throw a couple of big parties
out there every year with all their childhood friends family.
There could be you know, sixty to one hundred people
there any given year, twice a year, usually riding four
wheelers through the woods, desolate area, not far from another
(42:47):
road we used to snake nut out there, called Siddale Road.
One night, she's coming home from her property out there,
I think, if I remember correct, is probably like eleven
o'clock at night, and she screws in down State Road
seventy two, pretty close to the mouth of Siddell Road,
(43:09):
where I snake hunted many times as a younger man.
And this thing's just straight walking down the road. And
full faith and credit in this woman. If she said
she saw that, I believe it. My dad's been with
her for probably over twenty years.
Speaker 6 (43:29):
Good person, loving person. You know. I'm just not going
to tell any bs.
Speaker 7 (43:36):
And I do believe she saw something out there as well,
as I guess other people have as well.
Speaker 6 (43:45):
A different story.
Speaker 7 (43:47):
My dad and his buddy, obviously reptile collectors used to
go down by Lake Okachovie to a place they called
the jungle. I'm not sure why it's called that, It's
just something they named it. I had never stepped foot
there before. Back when they did it more often, I
was very young, you know, talking five, six, seven years old,
(44:10):
and they would go down there in the middle of
the night and hunt through this wooded area. But like
I said, they called the jungle, and you'd carry a box,
you know, sealed up or whatever with a hole big
enough to put your thumb in, and you walk through
the woods at night, because the lizards would sleep on
(44:31):
the leaves and branches of the trees, and you could
just walk up and pluck them like there were cherries
off the plants, and you'd pull your thumb out real quick,
shove a lizard in the box, and keep on going.
And then back then they'd probably get like twenty five
cents apiece for a lizard, and you could go out
there and screw around in the woods all night and
come home with four hundred lizards of three different kinds,
(44:56):
you know, base green and oles and the invasive brown
and oles, skinks, things like that, and then sell them
wholesale to different reptile dealers used to sell them to
a place called Silver City Sercuentarium, which I have no
idea they're still in business or not. Now I'm pretty
(45:17):
sure they're not. But in recent years Allen had passed away,
probably close to a year ago now from a heart attack,
but maybe a year prior to that.
Speaker 6 (45:29):
My dad and him had.
Speaker 7 (45:31):
Gone down to the jungle and they'd never had any
experiences that were out of the ordinary there before. And
him and my dad walking through there were flashlights at night,
collecting lizards in the occasional snake potentially yellow rat, snake,
oorn snake or whatever you might run across there in
the middle of night.
Speaker 6 (45:52):
You know, they're walking through there, and my dad's here
and Brallen noises all around them, they both are. Matter
how hard they try, they can't put a flash light on.
Speaker 7 (46:03):
It seems to be going all around them, like you'd
hear it in front of you at one point, and
then in the blank of an eye it's behind you,
to the side of you. And they couldn't, for the
life of them get a glimpse of what was going on,
just that they did not feel welcome, They did not
feel like they should be there and couldn't get a
(46:26):
sighting at all of whatever was bothering them out there
that night, and of course it breaks both of them
out to some extent or another. And these are you know,
man's man kind of guys that are used to being
in the woods, you know, love nature on it, you know,
things like that, and to freak them out bad enough,
(46:48):
you know, that makes you question wanting to go back.
Speaker 6 (46:52):
It's pretty interesting in and of itself.
Speaker 7 (46:55):
But for whatever reason, not long after that, Allen goes
back out there by him.
Speaker 6 (47:01):
And has an experience.
Speaker 7 (47:05):
If I remember the story correctly, and I can get
it from my dad again.
Speaker 6 (47:08):
Since Allan's no longer around to tell the.
Speaker 7 (47:11):
Tale, he encountered three creatures, relatively face to face within
feet of him, maybe five to ten foot, I don't know.
They got pretty close upon him, if I remember correctly,
burred humanoid creatures larger than him, and he's not a
small guy. He said they had red glowing eyes, and
(47:33):
he would describe them to be demons, not necessarily the
average sasquatch by any means, but sasasquatch like an appearance
boding him anyways, and break him out so bad that
he had pledged she was never going back there again,
and my dad, after having the experience they had together
(47:56):
online before that, he's like, dude, no, we need to
go out there and we need to check it out.
But Alan refused to do it, and before he had died,
he could not be convinced to go back out there.
And then not long long ago, several weeks back, my
dad and his girlfriend had drove down to the lake
(48:17):
there and tried to find the jungle. Salin had always
led the way of you know, driving or whatever to
the spot. My dad was pretty sure he knew where
it was, you know, by himself or whatever, but wasn't
one hundred percent. And they're pretty sure they found the
area where that was, but now it is under construction
and being in torn apart, so that particular area no
(48:41):
longer exists as far.
Speaker 6 (48:42):
As I know.
Speaker 7 (48:43):
But just an interesting tale from another guy. I have
absolute fool faith and credit him, another guy I believed
to have the proclivity to see things, though I think
that was his only I guess I could say sasquatch
like encounter. He's had several other interesting encounters in his day,
(49:11):
UFOs and.
Speaker 6 (49:12):
Things like that.
Speaker 7 (49:15):
It's probably not the craziest stories you've ever heard, you know,
or whatever. Just I'm here to give a testimony about
something I saw.
Speaker 6 (49:24):
They're definitely here.
Speaker 7 (49:27):
I'm not the only one who's seen them. They're They're
definitely out there, and I just wanted to tell my story.
It's a bit more on the mundane side. I understand
that it happened a long time ago as a kid.
I'm thirty six years old now doing my own thing
(49:48):
and whatever. Still in my mind, still think about it
when I'm out there in the woods by myself. It's
not a major bother, but I guess I could say
I'm a bit more vigilant. But and I've now lived
here in Leewall daily for a little over eight years
(50:13):
and I haven't yet seen another one. I'm not sure
I ever will, but I'm certainly in their territory, and
someday I do hope to see one again. And perhaps
i'd like to hope my children and wife were there
to see it with me.
Speaker 6 (50:34):
I don't know what else I can say about it.
Speaker 8 (50:38):
Well, that's it for tonight's show. If you've had a
big Foot siding and would like to be a guest,
please go to my bigfoot sighting dot com and let
us know thanks for listening. Have a great night seeing
a bunch.
