Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, you there, thanks for tuning in. You're ready for
another episode of my big foot sighting? Right, then, let's
do this.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Seeing a bunch of run down, no horse towns where
the church is the backbone Us and the Bow and
the fasting melodies coove in with the bomb man rose
with the Roos, run deep beyond the nose of the
busy streets with the sons of the South of su
(00:32):
Then and I hear the promp porch picking down home
rhythm bringing out I Don't Run from Banjum music. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
My first bigfoot sighting happened right outside Broken Bow, Oklahoma,
in October of twenty two, where I work. We had
a five day weekend type break, and I decided that
I would go camping, something that I had always wanted
(01:13):
to do and never done, et cetera, et cetera. And
I live in Louisiana and we were just coming off
of the worst of lockdown. Louisiana really took that to heart.
You'd get arrested in the street if you weren't going
where you're supposed to be going. It's pretty wild times.
And so I would get online. Due to my job,
(01:39):
I was working from home and it was mostly just
monitoring my laptop, making sure somebody didn't need something. It
was got quite boring, and you can only feel around
on the internet so long when you're bored out of
your mind, before you start looking at really quote wild
and wacky stuff. So I somehow happened upon the subject
(02:00):
to bigfoot, and you know, it seemed wild and wacky
and you know, entertaining, so i'd, you know, I kind
of got into that, not into it. I would look around.
It was mostly you know, obviously fake stuff, and found
a you know, a pretty well known uh now podcast,
and I started listening to that here and there and
you know whatever. But it was just something to do
(02:21):
to fill the time. And then, uh, of course things
somewhat normalize. We go back to at least in my field,
we're going back to work in person, et cetera. And
then I happened to hear about a quote bigfoot festival
in uh hone Toby, Oklahoma, so believe the first weekend
(02:42):
in October, I thought, well, you know what, I'm gonna
go camping, and I'm just gonna what better reason excuse,
you know, I had had no camping background. I'll just
go up to this festival and you know, make the
best of it. And so I do that. I drive
from where I live in northwest Louisiana and go to
the festival and meet a really nice couple. Just tell
a fun weekend, and everything was fun. Fun. So on
(03:02):
my way back, I thought, well, let me check out.
You know, I saw going in. If you've ever been
up to the Broken Bow area, you know what I'm
talking about. I saw they had some campgrounds and I thought, well,
let me check that out. And uh, you know, it's
enjoyable up here. There were mountains I did not know that,
very beautiful, and so you know, I did that, and
(03:23):
I thought, okay, I like it here. In two weeks
we've got fall break, I'm gonna come up here and
go camping. So that's what happened. H went camping. I
arrived on a Sunday. I stayed Sunday Monday Tuesday because
I had to go back to work on Wednesday. And uh,
(03:45):
so I do that. I drive up, I find my campsite,
I do all the things. It was very enjoyable, very full.
Beaver's Bend. Both parts of that large campground area, there's
a lake park for Broken Bow Lake, which is beautiful.
It's got clean clear water. I took my kayak out
(04:09):
kayak for the first time myself to kayak on Brooken
Bow Lake on that trip, and the other part of it,
I forget what the specific name of it is is.
I believe the Mountain Fork River just beautiful water. Trout fishing,
very very popular place. So there were folks everywhere. It
was jam packed. It was like being at a at
(04:31):
a music festival or something. People over there were just
everywhere there Sunday night. So uh, next day, Monday morning,
people start to you know, clear out. I get to
see their environs. You know, it's very beautiful. Uh what
have you. I get a good grasp of my immediate
you know, camp area, looking around, and as the day
(04:54):
goes on Monday, you know, people are thinning out until
pretty much, you know, there's just a few people left.
But I'm like, great, no people to make noise. You
all want to enjoy nature. And you just notice, you know,
I'm pulling out my kayak, I'm you know, right on
the water. Uh and you know, figuring out how to
kayak and going through all the ocenanigans and just noticing
(05:18):
the immediate area there's a zipline. I was like on
the finger of the lake. It was like a V
shaped little cove and on the other side of where
my campsite was, you could hear people zipline and you know,
having a great time. And at the end of the
V on the shore was a hut where the zipline
(05:41):
people apparently kept equipment and uh, you know, kept that locked.
It was a parking lot as well a few parking
spaces for the customers, and that's how they ran that.
And I mentioned that for a purpose that I'll get
to get to later. So you know, that's my monday,
you know, kayaking, hanging out, figuring out how to do
the camp and thing and what have you. Uh, there
(06:04):
was a I think two or three other campers or
couples of camping, and I got to talk and got
to know a couple closest to me. They were very enjoyable,
and so we just spend the day out on that.
That's fine. So night comes and I'm sitting outside, you know,
(06:29):
I'm it's really nice, it's really peaceful, it's really beautiful,
and sitting in my chair made a little fire feeling,
you know, very campy and whatnot, and just relaxing and
sipping on a beverage. Not doing anything crazy, you know,
but sipping on a beverage whatnot, and just relaxing really.
(06:49):
And it was probably about midnight, maybe twelve twelve thirty
at night. I hear noises and uh, you know, I
wasn't particularly nervous. There's still people around. I'm not a
nervous personality anyway. Really, I'm a lot more confrontational than
I am timid, which is not always a great way
(07:12):
to be. But anyway, Uh, but I'm hearing these sounds.
I'm like, what And of course it's carrying over the water.
Water really does carry sound. It's true what they say.
And I'm hearing some noises and it sounds like a
knob and I realize I can't see the door in
the dark from where I'm at the distance, but I
can hear the actions. I'm like, there's sounds like some
(07:35):
maybe some locals, some local kids or something, or trying
to break into that shed where the you know, zip
liner people keep their equipment, because like you can hear
the door rattling back and forth and whatnot, and you know,
and I'm thinking to myself what's wrong with them? I mean,
you've already tried the door dues, the door's locked, but
they just kept you know, you could hear somebody fiddling
(07:58):
with the door, fitting with the door knob. Then you'd
hear somebody walking around, milling around and going back and
out the door knob again and whatnot. And I'm just
like whatever, you know, Like I said, I wasn't immediately concerned.
There were other campers in the general area where I was,
and like, it's fine. So I go to bed. Next day,
(08:19):
I get up and I decided I needed to go
into town because I had was having some work done
on my house and I didn't have any cell reception.
That's also important later too. Did not have any cell reception,
so much so that not even well the time would
(08:42):
show on my phone. That'll that's important for later. Uh.
But I couldn't get any cell reception. So I'm driving
to town, uh to do my calls, do my business,
what have you? See what there is to see in
the in the area, and return about I don't know.
If I five thirty, it's already getting dark and I
(09:04):
look around and I'm the only one there, and that
really isn't a problem, but I do try to as
I get older, try to use some common sense. And
I just ask myself, you know, how do I feel
about this. I'm the only one here, and here we
are Tuesday night, So what am I gonna do? I'm like,
(09:26):
I feel alright, it's gonna be fine. So I go
ahead and I make my dinner, made steak, what have you,
and just go through my evening just really enjoying the solitude. Uh.
Just everything is really great. I have no ill feelings.
I decided not to have any beverages, however, because you know,
(09:52):
there are people around. Not a bright idea, especially with
you know, know one around. But I'm not overtly concerned
or anything like that. I make another fire, you know,
sit in my chair fire looking out across the little cove,
and you know, everything is just really super lovely. I
(10:14):
probably go to bed about eleven or eleven thirty. I'm
roughly guestimating, because you know, I had nothing on my
phone except the time, so that was so there was that.
So going to the tent, you know, lay down, go
to bed. I use a seapap And that was one
(10:38):
of the reasons why it took me so long to
get to actually camping because you know, obviously seapap requires electricity,
you know, et cetera, YadA YadA. So I've got that
plugged in. Everything's great. Well actually to a solar battery
because it was not an electric area where I was.
(11:00):
So I go to sleep, you know, with my seatpap on.
All right, So doze off in a good sound sleep,
I would guesstimate, I don't know, about two hours later,
I wake up. I kind of come too, but it's
(11:20):
like I've been awoken, and I'm like, what's going on?
And I realized there's this rude odor that's coming through
my seapat and it just sounded like just sounded sorry,
it smelled like just really pungent ransid urine. And I'll
(11:43):
go as far as say I thought, for a moment,
did I whip myself in my sleep? And I mean,
what's going on? It was just I was that taking
a kind of surprise by it. So I'm take the
seatpap off, and I kind of, you know, smelled a
little bit, but you know, it dissipated. And I'd like
to point out that if you're a seatpat person, you know,
(12:06):
than any odors that are in your immediate area. They
will kind of concentrate, the smell of them will concentrate
in your seapat and they'll linger in the seatpap until
they you know, finally, you know, blow out of the machine.
So anyhow, I'm like, okay, great, I'm awake, but you know,
I'm put the seatpap on and just figure, hey, that's
(12:29):
weird whatever, and and go back to bed. I will
need to pause and go back to the previous night,
if I may. Now. The previous night, as I said,
I heard, you know, somebody or so I thought, messing
with the shed. Didn't see anybody, but you could hear
(12:49):
them messing with the door knobs repeatedly walking around. I
could hear footsteps, but they were far from me. I
wouldn't not worried. There were other campers there at the time,
but also when and as I was going to sleep,
so I went to bed rather ladish, uh. I could
hear just like small pieces of debris just hitting the tent.
(13:15):
It sounded like it was on the rain fly. And
I didn't really you know, think much of it, but it,
you know, kind of kept happening. But I just figured
it was the little scrub acorn, just some like little
a tree, pretty tall tree, but she makes like little acorns.
(13:35):
It just teeny tiny, not good for any kind of consumption.
It looks like acorn. Someone from Oklahoma probably knows what
I'm talking about. So I figured they were just falling
on the top of my tent, right because up until
now I'm a reasonable quote reasonable normal person. So fast
forward to the next night. I've been awakened by a
foul smell. Uh, you know, go back to sleep, and
(14:03):
then you know, wake up again about an hour later.
But this time it was different, as like a sentence
opened my eyes. I was fully awake, I was sleepy nothing,
I was just sober as a judge, and I I
(14:23):
just it was just it was not usually how you
wake up in the middle of the night, just one
of your faculties about you. And so I'm laying there
just feeling fully awake, and I'm like, well, that's weird.
You know, maybe it's just the camping. I'm not hearing
anything that I can't find anything of any reason or
(14:45):
perceiving your reason why I would just be awake and
like I said, and just in controlling even kind of rested,
feeling just like I don't know what's happening, but I'll
just keep laying here. And so that goes on for
a little bit and then I'm like, maybe I'm awake
for a reason, you know. I uh, I had somewhat
(15:10):
of a background with the unexplainable and whatnot, and I
feel like I've you know, received help from beyond from
more than a few times in my life. So I'm like,
maybe someone wants to show me some reason. And I
know that's probably odd sounding, but I just figured, you know,
I'm awake for a reason. Let me see what's up.
So I, you know, keep the go to the front
(15:34):
of my tent, which you know, obviously I'm in a tent,
so sometime far away, but I unsdiped colors or can't
see her out and I roll that back and I'm
just looking through the screen. The screen match what happened,
and so I'm just looking. I mean, it's beautiful out there.
You know, it's a pretty dark night. Uh but I
don't really remember seeing the moon. But that's not to
say that there wasn't there's obviously some moon light. Was
(15:57):
it pitch black dark? But I'm just looking. I'm like, one,
this is nice this is beautiful, you know, nature, nature, nature,
It's sod you know sign that for.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Where you is that.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Solid true solid trees on up a hill. So it
kind of peaks, and uh, I start to notice what
looked like, you know, an airplane or two, and they're
they're going different directions, like you know, one's headed you know,
if I'm looking to the east, ones headed uh northeast
(16:40):
and another one's headed southeast. And I'm like, oh, you know, okay,
it's interesting. These looks like small aircraft, you know, just
one or two lights on them, you know, small aircraft
in the deep darkness of night, or taken off from somewhere. Okay,
you know, that's interesting. But I'm just continuing to take
(17:02):
in the view and look, and the more I look,
the more of these lights, more of these planes start
to appear, and they're all I see them when I'm
where I'm able to see them. They're all coming from
the same point, and then they're dispersing outward. And then
(17:25):
I'm looking and I'm looking and I'm thinking, wellose can't
be little airplanes because that's just that's just too many
of them. And I'm looking and then instead of just
flying in straight looking lines, they start to curve and
do things that that small airplanes you know, wouldn't do.
(17:47):
And the more I watch, it's like the more they respond,
the more activity I'm seeing. And I'm just like, oh goodness.
You know, I had a I had a UFO sighting
when I was about eight years old, and it was
a lot more simple as a story for another time,
but I have had one, and I thought, well, good lord,
(18:07):
you know it's happening again. So I'm like, I'm supposed
to see this, these these UFOs. Okay, well, all right,
that's great, And you know, just the more I look
at them, the more active they get, until finally, just
to be on it probably sounds wild, but to be honest,
it just I got bored of it, just like, okay,
(18:30):
somebody wanted me to see UFOs, all right, I'm here,
I'm up. It was really nice, thanks, and so I
just turned my gaze. It's a it's a big cabin teat.
I still have it because I've been in it with
so many interesting experiences. I probably can't ever park from it.
(18:50):
And I look too. It was probably the south towards
the end of the lake, going towards where it meets
with the Mountain Fork River and I start to see
something similar happening down that way too, and I'm just like,
you know, this is crazy, but you know, who am
(19:12):
I to say? But I know what I saw. I
know what I'm saying, you know, So I, you know,
look at it for a few more minutes whatnot. And
then I decide, you know, I'm ready to go back
to sleep. You know, yay, this is the wild tale.
But to not tell anybody because they would believe you.
(19:34):
So I decide, you know, I'm going to go back
to sleep. And I do that. I lay down and
I just can't go back to sleep. I'm just wide awake.
So I'm like, you know, I don't know what to do.
And so I decided to sit up for a while longer,
(19:56):
and I'm like, I feel stupid. I don't know why
I can't go to sleep. I can at least lay
but there's just something. It was just I was uncomfortable
laying down. And it wasn't intentional. It was just I
just I mean, I trust me, I can lay in bad.
I'm a very mentally tiring job and I can get
my rest. I don't have to get a sleep to
get rest, but I just, you know, couldn't be comfortable
(20:19):
laying down, and so I just stayed sitting up on
a stool that was in my in my tent, feeling foolish,
not foolish because I of what I had just previously seen,
you know, I didn't have any doubt of that. Oh
which also you know, I'm fine with that, But it's
just the why can't I just what's going on? And
(20:42):
an internal push and pull was starting to occur. On
the one hand, like the very rational, logical, scientific mindedness
versus the intuitive there's a world beneath the world and
around the world that we think did exists, and start
(21:04):
pushing and pulling each other because I'm like, this is silly.
I'm sitting here, wide awake. I need to go to bed.
But the more I told myself I needed to go
to bed, the more I was just feeling this internal
tension of no stay awake, so I do that. I
just sit there like a fool. At one point I
(21:26):
turned the tent light on something. We'll let me at least,
you know, clean up in here, do something with all
the stuff. I'm not a tidy person, you know, something
to keep me occupied. So I do that for about
a I don't know, probably thirty minutes or so. And
now I'm kind of feeling like, you know, I've distracted
myself from my internal goings on. I feel like, well,
(21:48):
you know, I can, I could probably lay back down.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
I'll but I feel this pang like, don't do that,
and I tell myself, well, I'll put my boots on
what I like to call my Texas house slippers, because
you can just you know, put them on in an
instant and wear them anywhere in any situation.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Because I'm thinking, you know, if I have to make
a quick accent, you know, I want to be sure
I have good, secure footwear on that's easy to get on,
just as general safety as a single woman, you know,
camping and living life. So I put put my boots on,
and I decide to, you know, I lay back down.
This time. I'm feeling a little bit better, a little
(22:27):
bit more relaxed, and I just hear very clearly in
my mind, don't you dare go to sleep? And so
that happens, and I sit back up. I get up
and I sit back on the stool. Because I've had
a few encounters in my life believe in a higher power.
I believe in God. I'm believe in Jesus as described
(22:53):
and told in what we would commonly accept versions of
the New Testament, and I have There's been a couple
of other times in my life where I've got an explicit,
direct internal guidance and I know what I considered to
be from the Holy Spirit, and people can do with
that what they will. But I hear that and I'm
just like, Okay, So now I'm my attitude's different because
(23:17):
I know something's up and it has nothing to do,
most likely with seeing all the UFOs. So you know,
I don't know if I'm in a Jackpop situation. I
don't know what's going on. I don't know what's happening.
But I'm not going to go to sleep. So I'm
sitting on the stool and I don't know how long
(23:39):
I go through this inner dynamic of I'm being ridiculous
versus need to go to the truck and go somewhere else,
and that push and pull just keeps going and keeps going,
keeps going. One hand, I tell myself I'm being ridiculous.
On the other hand, you know, it's like no, not
being ridiculous, not being ridiculous, you know, the internal alarm bells.
(24:03):
So I continue to sit, and I continue to sit,
and then I realize, oh, maybe I need to turn
the tent light off. At one point, I turned the
tent light on when I was you know, organizing and
rearranging at the inside and picking up trash. So turn
the light off, and uh, continue to sit until finally
(24:25):
I just tell myself, well, I'm just gonna wait. I
kind of half undid from the bottom the mesh door
so that if I had to make a quick exit,
I wouldn't have to do as much as zipping. Because
I'm still locked into this belief that I'm being ridiculous,
(24:47):
So I just it's just a push pull, push pull,
push pull, push pull. Continue to wait, and then I
hear it's go time, not my thoughts, and I grabbed
my key wad I didn't have anything in my truck
(25:07):
worth stealing, and just also for safety purposes since nobody
was around, I did not even though it's a remote
lock and unlocked. I had my truck unlocked for a
purpose like this in case I had to get into
it really quickly. So I quietly grabbed my keywand because
I mean, anything could be going on, because the previous
(25:29):
night before, it's all starting to click. Now I heard
somebody down by that shit, and you know, maybe somebody's
messing with me. Who knows, And but just trying to
but just do my best, just keep very level headed.
So I uns it very carefully. The tent is facing
is lined up with the shoreline of the lake on
that little cove, okay, so it's facing the water. The
(25:53):
concrete picnic pad is beside the tent pad, and then
behind the tent is where my truck is part. And
I try to be observant, and I know that I've
got to be careful in the dark getting to my
(26:15):
truck to get around to the driver's side because there's
rebar poking out and I got bad knees and I'm
not graceful anyway, And I just know got to be
very mindful because if I trip and fall on that,
it could be disastrous. And I'm just trying to be quiet,
just like I said, I just someone's telling me something.
It's from God, and I'm going to do what take
(26:36):
the advice I'm giving. That's my mindset. So quietly unds
it quietly, gingerly, get out, kind of get my bearings.
It's dark. It's dark, how well imagine you see darkness
surround you. But the sky was like a very dark purple.
(26:57):
So there's contrast between trees in the sky. All right.
But once your eyes get adjusted, you know, I can
make out the picnic table. I can see there's the tree.
I can see where the park provided barbecue grill is,
(27:17):
if that helps. I'm familiar with the general site. It's
not a big sight, but I know that there is
no firewood to be picked up. Everyone's already picked it up.
I know that the trees in the immediate area, the
lowest limbs are six to seven feet low. Oh important,
(27:41):
the impetus, the reason why I right before I heard
it's go time, That's when I'm sitting on the stool,
I'm waiting, waiting, waiting, and I've got this internal push
and pull going on. What changed? Was I hear a
limb break? I'm sitting on the stool. I know a
(28:06):
limb break is happening close to my far left, wherever
that tree line is. And I know, just from observation
and looking where that tree, that that limb is breaking,
that limb is six seven feet high at least. But
(28:27):
still I sit there thinking I'm not being reasonable. I've
already gone that back and forth, and that's when I
hear the it's go time, So my bad, unzip. I'm
trying to be controlled but purposeful because I don't want
to trip. Everything is the concrete pad there. I trip
(28:48):
the first night in the dark. I don't want to
do it again. I don't know what's happening. I know,
but I know something is up. So exit the tent,
I go around you turn. Basically, I've got the tent
to my left side, got the picnic table to my
right side, and I am just looking straight ahead. I
(29:08):
have zero interest in looking around, so I'm looking straight ahead,
kind of looking at the ground, looking about to my level.
I'm not trying to see anything I can't unsee, and
then probably.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
At my two o'clock to my right side, I see
another shape. It's tall. It's not the barbecue grill, it's
not the lamp post, and I'm not looking directly at it.
I'm thinking, oh wow, there's something there, and it's my
intention to just walk past as if I mean to
(29:48):
be walking. I'm not flinging. I'm not scared. And then
I notice that at the time that I get in
its view, I believe in our mutual view, it was
taking a step forward. I see this little bit of
movement from the foot, and now I'm looking at it,
(30:11):
and what I'm seeing is because I have reference points
of the grill and the lamp, the big lamp pole,
shepherd's hook thing for you know, camp lanterns to use
his reference later, approximately six foot tall, and the head, neck,
(30:31):
and shoulders. The outline from the shoulder above was reminiscent
of like Star Wars Darth Vader, kind of maybe cone
shaped head, but the head, the neck, and the shoulders
just all come together. But the physique seemed to be powerful,
(30:58):
reminiscent of very well built baseball player, long arms, long legs,
you know, torso, but not overly wide or huge. But
but if it was a human, it'd be a big
old boy. So then just you know, just a just
(31:22):
five seconds i'm walking, I catch movement. My eyes are riveted,
and as I look directly at it, I just see
it try to put its foot like right back, like
I was gonna take a step. Oh, the person's there,
I'm just put my step, my foot back, and it's
just stuck still. And so for another second, I think, well,
(31:47):
maybe I'm seeing trees or maybe I'm imagining something, So
I just keep walking. I mean, I'm just taking like
you know, step step step step. I'm probably about fifty
feet away from my truck, from the tent to where
my truck is, I'm just I'm just about level with
where the picnic table is, and what I'm seeing is
(32:10):
not ten feet from that, if that, and in my
mind's eye, I don't know how else to explain it,
but like in my mind, which I got a black
screen in my mind in white capital letters, I'm seeing
(32:31):
the word awkward as if it is being projected to me.
This is awkward. Oops. Well, once that happens, I take
off like a shot, and I just scurry my little, fat,
(32:54):
middle aged self, and I get in the truck, close
the door, lock the door, and I just sit and
I take it some time to collect myself. And I
don't even want to look around, because I'm in my
right mind, not crazy. I get FBI clearance checked every
(33:17):
year for my job. It's just even for me, and
I've had some experiences it's a lot to take in.
I'm just sitting there collecting myself and I'm just looking ahead.
Now I'm seeing the tree line. My camp site is
(33:42):
to the right of me, so I'm looking directly into
the tree line, but don't really don't know where to
look because I'm scared I'll see something again. And then
I see I see these orangesh orbs. Didn't mention that
(34:02):
when all the UFO phenomena was happening, and not that
I was seeing directly across the little cove where I
was after the phenomena had started. A pretty good while
into that phenomena starting, I saw several large, moving orange
(34:26):
reddish orbs that seemed to be very large. And I
heard a tree knock, pretty good loud tree knock, so
you know that had occurred as well. So going back,
I'm in my truck and I'm like, what am I
going to do? What to do? And I'm just thinking,
(34:49):
you know, I, you know, let me see what time
it is. I picked my phone up, which I didn't
have my phone with me in the tent because it
was of no used because I've got zero service. Well
a little bit later I realize the phone has totally frozen.
(35:11):
The phone had frozen at like two twenty seven am.
I had to restart the phone. I had to hard
restart my phone to get it to do anything again.
Later on, once I got to town. But I'm getting
ahead of myself, so I'm looking and again I'm seeing
(35:34):
this ORB phenomena. But I think I'm not seeing anything.
That must be the fake theft anti theft light on
my dashboard, and I'm just seeing That's what I think
I'm seeing. I'm just trying to be so rational, just
trying to be so rational at every juncture here. And
(35:54):
then I realized the anti the red anti theft light
isn't going to fly and be able to be seen
in the windshield. It's not a reflect off the windshield,
not when you're sitting in the vehicle. So then I realized,
oh my god, that's more orbs. I'm just like, oh wow,
this is wildness. Then it starts to sprinkle, starts to
(36:19):
sprinkle a little heavier, and I'm looking at my phone
and I realized the phone is not just has not
been this time isn't correct. Get it restarted, the time updated.
I still have no service, but the time updates and
It's sometime after four, and I'm thinking what I want
(36:41):
to do, and I'm thinking, I'm just like, I want
to get out of here. So I figure, I'm just
going to go drive into Broken Bow and go hang
out in McDonald's parking lot and try to get myself
together with some coffee and subbe man muffins, and then
I'm getting the heck out of here. Because even with
my my previous experience, this is a lot to take
in in a short period of time. And keep in mind,
(37:04):
you know, for most people, it's a lot to take
in and there's no one to tell it about. There's
no one to post game or verbally processed with. You're
on your own with it, so you know, it can
be isolated. So I finally, you know, see what time
(37:24):
it is. I'm like, okay, well but I'm just I'm
hesitating everything I do. And I don't understand that because
I'm usually not ever that person. But you know, I
got my phone situated, I got my keys, you know,
got my form of payment. There's no one around. I'm
not worried about the side at this point. Whoever wants something,
(37:45):
if they want to happen up upon it, they can
to have it. You know, I'm getting ready to go,
and this drizzle starts to let up, and I just
happened to look up the same direction where I heard
the living break, same direction where it's not too long
before I was seeing more war of activity. And my
(38:06):
eyes are honing in on something because you know, it's
the tree line, it's it's dark, but I see some
kind of movement and what is it? What's happening? And
I'm seeing something that is darker than the darkness around
it receding, and I realized it's that whatever. It's just
(38:29):
sauntering its way back into the back, into the tree line,
and it's been out here hanging around in my real
close to me the whole time. I said, Man, you know,
how dumb do I need to be? So I go
and I'm like my truck and I just dry willing
nelly in the dark on those mountainy roads from Hoche
(38:51):
Town back to Broken Bow and I get the Broken Bow.
I'm and you know, it's early morning hours. It's five
point thirty is by the time I get to Broken Bow.
So you know, if you want to say, I can't know,
But if you want to say that the phenomena perhaps
(39:13):
with the UFOs started when the phone froze at two
thirty seven. Then you know all of these goings on.
I was subjected to all of it over the course
of a couple of hours. At least, I think it's
a lot. It's pretty pretty good bit for for anybody,
no matter how seasoned you think you are compared to
(39:36):
other people. Anyhow, I you know, I'm as I wished.
I'm at the McDonald's and broken bow and get my
coffee and get my couple of ed mcmuffins and have
my breakfast. And you know, I tell myself, all right,
you know the son's coming up. I you know, decide
was going to stay till the sun's coming up. And
(39:58):
you know it's coming up. I'm like, right, I'm gonna
go back, and I'm gonna pack up, and I'm getting
out of here and just go get back home, get
in my bed. So I drive back. Well, by the
time I get back, sun's up, the weather's beautiful, and
(40:21):
all the adrenaline in my system is gone. So it's daylight.
I feel safe, I feel secure, and so I tell myself, well,
you know, I'm gonna have a good nap first I'm
too tired to drive all the way back, so let
me take a nap. So I do that. I have
a wonderful nap. You know, I had a good setup.
(40:41):
I had a good air mattress, temperature is perfect, everything
is beautiful, no people around. I sleep for about two hours.
So I get up. I'm like, I feel good. I
feel great. Time to pack up. So I'm starting to
get some things together. I see my kayak and I
(41:01):
think to myself, you know what, I'm going to take
it out one more time before I go back to Louisiana.
So I get my life jacket and my paddle. Put
the life jacket on, got the paddle in my hand,
get the kayak. I'm going to drag the kayak. You know.
(41:21):
I'm back to the water and went to kayak for
a while and get, you know, another another run under
my belt before I head back. And I don't get
halfway between the tent and the water. And also I
mentioned the ziplining business. Well it's Wednesday. Now. See they're
(41:42):
open on the weekends. They're not open during the week
at this point, and they're about to end their season.
In facts, there's nobody around that I can feasibly imagine.
But I kid you not talking about this little v
of this because the broken Bowl lake, it's like like fingers,
like almost like starfish arms that go all the way
(42:02):
around it. So I'm on one of these what I
call these little codes or inlets, on these starfish arms.
My kid you not, I'm dragging the kayak and across
the cove explodes in a cacapehony of noises. And at
first it just sounds like a thousand angry birds. But
(42:23):
then I start to hear semion monkey like noises like
I remember hearing in the what we used to call
the monkey House at the Dallas Zoo where I grew up.
And I mean it's wild and there it's agitated sounding,
and that unhinged me. All that I had seen previous,
(42:43):
even during the night, did not unhinge me like that did,
because I knew then there's more of them. They're over there.
I'm here, it's just me. They're watching that. They want
their area back. They don't want me kayaking, and there's
(43:04):
no one to hear me yell around here, and I'm out,
And I kid you not. I like to bring my
comforts when I have a pickup, thank goodness, and I'll
tell you what I have a king cab. I opened
the door of that King cab on one side, and
small items I just chucked them hand over fist. I
(43:26):
was ready to go. In ten minutes, I had everything
broken down. I struck my tent and I just threw
that bad boy in the back of the truck bed
and put my ice cooler and some other heavy things
over it, and I got out of there as soon
as I could and just went back home and didn't
really think much about it. I never I didn't tell
(43:49):
anybody about it. I wouldn't like living in shame or anything,
but I just knew that there was something more than
I had ever really imagined. Because it's one thing to
to hear things or feel like you've got mediumistic ability,
or you know, you have premonitional ability, things like that,
(44:09):
but it's another thing to have encounters that are not
supposed to be real, in three D reality, in material
tangible reality. And about i'd say about three or four
months in it was probably January of twenty twenty one,
(44:36):
and I started to notice that when I would get
up in the morning, I'd be a little hungover, because
you know, I had gotten afterwards into the habit of
having a drink at night. Well, uh, it got to
the point and it only happened one time where I'm
waking up to go to work and I'm like, oh
(44:59):
my goodness, I'm a little bit more than hungover. What
am I doing? This is not like me, you know,
I was It's almost five years ago, so when I'm
fifty two, fifty three years old, never had any problems
with substances or anything like that. And then I realized
(45:20):
it was that encounter, you know, I it shifted my
bedrock and I just just you know, really wasn't addressing it.
And what I mean for myself is just letting the realization,
(45:42):
let it wave out in my worldview and my mindset.
Meaning when you have an experience like this, you realize that,
you know, conventional wisdom, conventional reality is incomplete and in denial.
(46:02):
So my mind started really to turn towards, you know, well,
what else is not real? What else is just lore?
Uh really in any in any regards and ways. So
you know, that was a really the biggest thing. I
got some comfort from listening to you know, different podcasts
(46:28):
and whatnot on on Bigfoot It took a few years
before I kind of felt saturated with that topic, but
it was definitely a definitely a start that led to
by my own personal effort, efforts and interest to find
(46:48):
out more and figure out more and and just see,
you know where that path led and and you know
that was it was worth doing. I feel like it
is added to my life. I feel like it has
expanded my consciousness and it's it's just made me a
(47:13):
knower in in some some ways that I that for me,
I feel are profound. I never felt like I was
in danger, but I feel like it was something I
needed to see. I can't know, but I would be
inclined to if I were to guess, say that there's
(47:40):
a lot of juvenile males that that's their their play area,
that's where they like to go hang out. And you know,
the weekend was over and I was the only one
hanging on and they wanted me to get gone so
they can have their few days of uh peace and
read them, which I get. Something else that I noticed
(48:06):
is that they picked the trash up every day. There
were workers that came every day and they left not
a speck of trash in any of the dumpsters, and
(48:27):
that included up Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday, when there
was no one else around. I was the only one there,
and they still went through every dumpster. And that is
interesting because the dumpster that was closest to me was
up by the bathhouse, which you got to walk like
a mountain goat to get up there. Most people just
(48:48):
drive their vehicles up them up there, up that hill.
I did the same thing, and I was throwing some
trash away, and I thought it was interesting. I mean,
who knows. I don't think everything's big foot, but I
thought it was interesting that the lids were really really
really super strong thick plastic, and both of those lids
(49:13):
on that dumpster were pushed inward, like something pushed on
the lid with such force that it made the lid
go concave. Possibly if something didn't realize you lifted to
open it just might may me push it down. And
(49:33):
I saw that, you know, the couple of days before
I had all of this encounter, these encounters this is,
like I said, occurred to me in the after effect.
But I just found that really interesting, especially as I
got more information and listened to more people how scrupulous
they are there at keeping all trash picked up. I
(49:54):
mean they were checking the trash twice a day, talking
about the park. People were empty and trash twice a day,
whether it was the weekend or the weekday. I thought
that was interesting, and uh, the condition of the dumpster,
and you know, as I just unpacked it, I'm like, okay,
so what did I hear that night? When I could
(50:15):
hear what I thought was someone messing with the with
the shed, you know, with the zip line shed, and
just the walking around and and everything else. So you know,
I just it's just an unusual experience and it doesn't
fit in a lot of people's boxes because there was
such a multi phenomena occurring. But I will say that
(50:42):
I hadn't gone that far into any of my encounter
listening at that point, and I didn't know that you
know that there's this camp that says that, well, you
UFO phenomena has nothing to do with bigfoot and mace
versa and you know, and just all of that division.
(51:02):
So you know, in the time since when I'm listening
to people or when I would be around people involved
in the topic, I kind of stay away from people.
Now it's just interesting to me. You know, they don't
know what I have experienced, and it's just interesting to
hear people pontificate about what is and is not possible
and and things like that. So but I came through it.
(51:25):
I mean, you know, it always felt life and riching.
But I was just interesting to me when I realized
that drinking had snuck up on me and I was
able to get that under control. And then a few
months later I had another opportunity to continue to get
(51:46):
out there and look and figure out and see with
a with a group of other ladies, and that led
to some other things that you know, perhaps we can
delve into at another time, but that it's best I
can recollect. Don't think I've left out any details of significance.
Concludes mine first encounter and everything that went along with it.
Speaker 5 (52:09):
Well that's it for tonight show. If you've had a
big Foot sighting and would like to be a guest,
please go to my Bigfoot Sighting dot com and let
