My Maine Bigfoot Encounters - My Bigfoot Sighting Episode 216

Tonight’s guest, Michael Vashon, was featured on last week’s show and on that show, he talked about several of the Sasquatch encounters he’s had, over the years, in Maine. His experiences with Sasquatch are why he cofounded the Maine Bigfoot Foundation. Due to how many experiences Mike’s had over the years, he didn’t have nearly enough time to share all of them last week. Luckily, he’s agreed to come back on tonight’s show to share more of his experiences and he has a lot more of them to share. We hope you’ll tune in and listen to him do that.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Know at Smike vash On again from the main Bigfoot Foundation,
I was on the last week's episode, number two fifteen.
This is a continuation the second part talking some more
about my encounters that I've had over the years. I

(01:19):
went through quite a few of them last week. I
didn't sit down and count all of them yet, but
I got some more for you this week. And you know,
there's some interesting things that a lot of people haven't
seen that I've seen over the years. We are full
nonprofit up here, so we do. I do quite a

(01:42):
bit of an independent investigations on my own, going out
in the woods and you know, looking for the evidence
and stuff. But I seem to have this this magnet
drawn to me that brings these things into my view.
I don't know if it's just the sixth sense of

(02:03):
knowing and being aware of there's something else out there.
I tend to pick up on things that most people don't.
You know, you drive down the road, you see something
on the side of the road. You don't even think
nothing of it. It's an animal. You turn, you know,
away from where the animals coming from, and you can
get on by, and you keep going down the road.

(02:26):
Twenty and fourteen, April of twenty and fourteen. It might
have been October October of twenty fourteen. April of twenty fourteen,
I also had an encounter. But yeah, October of twenty
and fourteen, I was traveling to work. I was working

(02:46):
nights at the time, right here in the town I
live in and Maine, and I take a road the
back roads to go to work, and I was on
a road that has a quite a steep s curve
in it. You come in like at the bottom of

(03:10):
the s turning to the right, and it makes kind
of a half loop and then start slooping back the
other way before straightening out. And I'm coming down that road.
It was probably about twelve thirty at night when I
was headed into work, and you know, foggy. You know,

(03:33):
moon was out clear, the skies were clear, but it
was a foggy day because of that air the way
it was. During the course of the day, there was
some you know a little bit of rain. The clouds
had gone overhead. They had just cleared out. The skies were,
you know, you're clear. I could look it up and

(03:54):
see the stars and the moon and stuff at them.
I come through the bottom half of the stern and
I come around the top half, and then I'm straightening out.
As I'm straightening out. When you start straightening out out
of the sterns, there's a long straight away with a
field that's probably about twenty yards wide on the right,

(04:19):
and you know, a huge field with a farm on
the left hand side. Now that those two fields, the
deer come across that little short field on my right
hand side, which is heading west, and you often see
the deer come out of there and they go over
into the big field across the street to the south,

(04:41):
so they go from north to south, and I'm coming
out of the stern, the upper pot of it, and
straightening back out to where my headlights are pointing straight
down the road. They're not illuminating the field on my
right anymore. They're not illuminating the field on my left

(05:04):
except for maybe five yards into the field on each shide.
And I'm running low beams because of the simple fact
of you know, it's foggy. So I come out of
that s turn into the straightaway, and as my lights
are coming to straight and out, I can see a

(05:25):
shadow out in the field, and I'm thinking, dear, so
I slow down. And now, mind you, this field on
the right is only twenty yards wide. And as I'm
coming to straighten back out, I look and the shadow

(05:45):
that I was looking at, I can see there's a
house just beyond the end of that field. And there's
like apple trees and pear trees, which I've talked to
them people before and they said the apples and the
piers pairs disappear off the top of the tree, and
you know, the trees are like eight to nine feet tall.

(06:09):
And you know, they never thought anything of it. But
as I'm coming, I'm using those trees to measure the
height of what's in the field on the right, and
I suddenly see a pair of yellow eyes, probably almost
twelve inches apart from each other, you know, they're the

(06:30):
eyes are literally about twelve inches across, you know, at
the sockets. And I'm looking at this thing, and it's
glowing its sides yellow, and I'm watching it. I slow
right down, and I'm watching it go from a standing
position where I'm judging this thing. The height of this
thing in the field is roughly, you know, maybe a

(06:54):
foot less than the trees where the pears and the
apples are, if even that, because it's you know, it's
an uphill slope. And I'm looking at this saying and
I'm slowing right down, and I watch it. It goes
from a standing position all the way down to a

(07:18):
crouching position, and then it just the eyes are just
looking at me, glowing. Now my headlights are straight ahead,
and this is off in the field to my right.
You know. Now I'm closing the distance. I'm maybe twenty
yards east of it, and it's only like fifteen to

(07:41):
twenty feet off the road, and I watch these eyes
go all the way down and then I see the
eyes start lowering, like looking straight down at the ground,
and all of a sudden, the thing crouches right up
and turns into what would look like a you know,
a pile of brush or a giant rock in the

(08:01):
middle of the field. I'm driving by, and I got
the window down now and I'm looking out, and I
just I knew what it was. I said, you know,
going to work, I'm running late as it is, so
I just I kind of didn't even do anything except
for having my phone. I tried to snap a picture
of it, and I said, I see you, and I

(08:25):
snapped a picture, and I yelled out the window, A
good thing. I don't have time to stop. As I
continued by, I was, you know, literally at that point.
You know, when I snapped the picture, I was probably
about fifteen feet from this thing in the field, and

(08:46):
you know, I knew what it was, but I just
I didn't stop because I had to get to work.
And I went on to work. I had snapped the picture.
I was hoping that it came out good, because you know,
of course i'm driving, I'm trying not to pay too
much attention. The picture did show a shadowy type fixture,

(09:07):
but I didn't It kind of looked like a brush
pile when I looked at it the pictures later, the
one picture I did take it, and it was, you know,
right there. I went off to work. I told the
guys at work what I what had happened when on
my way in, and they kind of laughed and chuckled

(09:28):
at me, and you know, you are the crazy big
foot guy, you know, I was told. I just wrote
it off and I went and did my job, came back.
It was probably about nine o'clock in the morning. Well,
I drove back to that location and I got out,
and I walked to the edge of the road, and
you know, I knew how far it is it was

(09:50):
in when I passed by it from the road, so
I kind of get out. I looked at the photo
I had looking at. There was no brush pile there.
You know, It's like, there's no brush pile there, So
I know what I'm seeing, you know, And I just
get out and I look all right on the edge
of the road, there's like a little drainage ditch there

(10:12):
and in the drainage ditch. I got a partial footprint
with the toes, and you know, of course the grass
was matted down. They had mowed it at the end
of the hay season, and it was you know, it
was matted down. So I could see a distance of

(10:34):
about five feet back. There was another impression. I went back.
I could see what looked to be the full footprint,
and I could look back towards the woods some more
and I could see about five six feet back. There
was another impression, and you know, there was only two

(10:54):
to three impressions between the one on the you know,
edge of the road where I got just the toes
and you know, it was five feet five feet five
feet and that was at the woodline. And then you know,
I couldn't see anything else after that. But I found
the tracks, probably about nineteen inch long tracks. So you

(11:20):
know that that was one of those situations where you're
just driving down the road and a normal person is
just gonna overlook that. So then I, you know, I
kind of just said, okay, I know what that was.
And a normal person would have just overlooked at you know,

(11:40):
a deer or a bear or something. You know, they
would but you know, when you're standing up and you're
looking at a pair of eyes that are looking at
you and they're glowing. They're you know, roughly twelve inches apart,
and you know they're they're up there, you know, about
seven eight feet those eyes looking at you. That's not

(12:04):
a dear. So I just kind of mocked it all down,
you know, tried to bring the picture to better resolution.
I couldn't get the resolution just right no matter what
I did. It looked like a rock or you know,
a or a brush pile in the field. And there

(12:25):
was no brush pile there, so, you know, no rock there.
I just that was in an encounter. And you know,
October of that year, Now back back up to April
of that year, we had a late snowstorm. I had
worked overnight and I was leaving work, and of course

(12:53):
I come down the road and there's a curve in
the road that kind of goes somewhat The road goes
northeast and then makes this curve and goes no, goes

(13:15):
northwest first coming down, and then you come around a
curve and you're going back north northeast, and on that curve,
you know, it's quite an embankment that goes down over
and I'm coming down the road. It's snowing out, late
season snowstorm. This is the beginning of April. And I

(13:37):
kind of look and I see what looks to be
a person crawling up out of the ditch. And I'm thinking,
oh my god, somebody's gotten an accident, you know. And
I'm going by and this person is what I was

(14:04):
thinking at the time, is just crawling up to the
top of the ditch. And you know, so I took
a quick spin around. There's a little road right then,
and I took a quick spin around, and of course
when I took the spin around, I'm looking in the
mirror and I see it standing. The person stand up
and they walked across the road and into the woods,

(14:25):
and I'm like, what in the And I was like, well,
that's not good. Where are they going? You know? I
turned around, and of course I realized at that point,
you know, judging from a sign post behind me that
it was it was taller than, you know, six feet,

(14:49):
it's probably closer to eight feet. When it walked stood
up and walked across the street. And I when I
came back down the road, I could look in I
could see something going away from me back to me,
you know, wide. It was probably close to four feet

(15:10):
in width with the back towards me, just across the shoulders,
and I noticed there was no close you know. So
I knew at that point what I had seen at
that time. So it was it was kind of odd
that twice in one year work related situation. You know,

(15:34):
I see these things happen, and it was just a
phenomenal thing to have seen that. Then for a period
of time, I got sold from one company to another.
And as I got sold from one company to the other,

(15:57):
you know, I stopped working for the company I had
been work working for before. But the company I was
sold to was still following a product. There was a
logistics company. They went from transporting their own stuff the
business I had been working for, to you know, having
a logistics.

Speaker 5 (16:16):
Company hall their stuff for them in.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
State and out of state. You know. So I worked
for that logistics company for a while, probably about two years,
and I went back to the business that I was
at before, and I had gone out. I was working
days I had gone out, and I had it was

(16:43):
late in the year, it was probably October of twenty eighteen.
I had left work. I had gotten out. It was
probably about seven thirty in the afternoon or evening, I
should say seven thirty in the evening, and I'm coming

(17:07):
down the road back to the main drag, and I
traveled down into town. I said, I'm going to go
down into town. I'm going to get some groceries. So
I did that, went up over the hill and down,
you know, into the valley on the other side, and
did my grocery shopping. And I came back up. And
as I come to where I.

Speaker 5 (17:28):
Work, the road that I was working on is literally
run parallel.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
To ninety five and in a sex you know, the
road I was on was two oh one. So I
come up over the hill. You come up over the hill,
there's only one house there that is you know rate

(17:54):
at that location. You know, as you come down over
the hill, you go by a couple of businesses at
the top as you top in the hill, and then
you start down the hill and there's one home on
the right. And as I'm coming down the hill, I

(18:15):
notice in the ditch on the left hand side of
the road. So I'm headed southwest on the main drag
which is two to one, and I'm coming towards the
highway and I look and I see on the southeast

(18:38):
side of the road there's, you know, nor southeast side
of the road, there is a pair of red glowing
eyes looking at me. And I'm like, what is that?
And I slowed down because there was no other traffic
at the time, just my headlights, and I decided I

(19:03):
was going to slow down and really look at this thing,
see what it was. You know, I was wondering if
it was something some other smaller animal that was just
there about that time. You know, I had the initial
view of it was I saw one eye looked really

(19:23):
big and the other eye looked really small. But as
I'm approaching, I see it turn its head. Now I
got two huge glowing red eyes looking at me, and
you know there's a distance across there, probably nine inches
at least, you know, between one eye socket and the

(19:43):
other eye socket. I'm like, wow, now, And I watched
this thing come into the road like on all fours,
and I'm just in utter amazement. You know, it's coming
out onto the road and it's almost looking like it

(20:07):
you know, it's has it's paws or hands out at
a right angle towards the sides and its feet are
very similar. They're cocked to the right and it's doing

(20:27):
this and the movement you would see a spider doing.
And I'm like, what in the world is that? And
all of a sudden, the thing's out into the road.
It's into the lane that goes in the opposite direction
towards town, and it's literally I'm looking at the back

(20:51):
end of it as it's crossing the white line on
the edge of the road, and I'm seeing its head
is literally at the yellow line in the center of
the road, and I'm like, whoa, okay, And I watched

(21:14):
this thing shuffle across the road on its hands and
feet like and I'm like, all right. By the time
I got there, it had crossed the road right at
the end of a godrail and it's a real steep
embankment going down, probably talking like a thirty five thirty

(21:39):
eight degree pitch going down. And I see it as
it's going by the godrail, I see the body coming up.
And as I'm driving by, I see the body fully
erect and it's walking off on two legs, and I'm like, well,
I guess I've just seen the spider crawl, you know,

(22:00):
I had heard of it before. I hadn't seen it
up to that point, but at that point, yeah, it
was literally crawling across the road like a spider, you know,
movement just like a spider, you know, doing a shuffle.
And I kind of chuckled at the time because you know,

(22:20):
I haven't seen anything like that. I never seen an
animal move like that. It was just it was it
was funny. So you know, I kind of went, Okay,
that is definitely different. And what do you do at

(22:46):
that point? You know, I pulled over. I pulled over
and literally, you know, I had a flashlight in the car,
and I walked over the edge of the guardrail and
I'm looking down over and you know, I don't know
where it went. Is fairly lodge trees, you know, I'd
say trees that are probably sixty feet tall, some of

(23:11):
these pines and you know that, you know, thirty inches
in diameter, I mean, just huge pines. And I can
I can see down through them past the brush that's
on the edge of the road, but I don't see
this thing anywhere. So you know, I another one for
the books. I write it down, you know, and I

(23:32):
get it all right there document what I can times,
you know, so on and so forth, and it was
just amazing. I went home and I told some of
my investigators that I work with it, you know, what

(23:55):
I had seen. They're like, oh, my god, you saw
the shuffle. And I was like, yeah, yeah, I saw
the shuffle, you know, and I don't know what to
make of that, or you know, how do they have
that ability? You know, I've gone through quite a few
encounters with you folks already, and you know, I've talked
to you guys about these things, and this is one

(24:17):
that is very difficult for me as an investigator to understand.
I understand that there's a very good potentiality that these
creatures are double jointed from what I have seen. You know.
I literally saw one, you know, and I told you

(24:39):
about this in the last episode where it walked up
to a log, you know, a big old hemwalk had
been knocked over a pine. I'm not sure which one
it was a hem walk or a pine. I didn't
go over and physically look at the tree, you know,
the bark on the outside. I'm not a I'm not
a tree expert. I knew it was a fur of
some type. So I watched this saying, walk over to

(25:03):
you know, a thirty inch round tree that's laying on
the ground, and instead of stepping over it like you
or I where we tossed our leg over. You know,
it literally walked up, bent its foot upwards so its
foot was parallel with its leg, and placed it on

(25:25):
the side of that log and just literally used the
muscles in its foot and picked itself up as you know,
as it picked itself up, the leg you know, got
back to the regular normal position and it just went
over the top of the log. So you know, I've
seen that, so I know the shuffle is possible. You know,

(25:49):
the positioning of the leg for them to be like
that is possible. And you know, I understand their creatures
like us, and they can have they have hands, I mean,
we can rotate our wrists probably somewhere around twelve degrees

(26:12):
thirteen degrees maybe, you know. Now this thing had its
hands or pause or whatever you want to call them
on its upper torso completely out to the side and flat,

(26:34):
which made a pretty much would make you know, you
or I almost you know, have a really hard time.
We would have a really hard time to you know,
put our hands out like that. To the side and
flat on the ground and do a shuffle. I mean,
we could do it, but it would be it could

(26:56):
be painful. I haven't physically tried it, so I'm just
taking a guess that it would be painful. But you know,
to see that it was amazing and to look at that.
You know, there's various indications that people have made about

(27:22):
these things before, and somebody's made an ai you know
type thing with one of these creatures doing that kind
of shuffle, and it's like, that's pretty much what I saw.
You know. I saw the hands out to the side,
the feet out to the side, so the entire foot
was twisted out, the hands were twisted out, they were

(27:44):
laying flat, and this thing was shuffling across the road.
So you know, I don't know how anything could do that,
But you know, I go to all these different events

(28:05):
m HM into many different speakers and festivals and talk
to a lot of different people, you know, about different
events and different things that have happened in the bigfoot world,
indications that people see things that they doesn't make sense

(28:26):
to them, you know, And I listen. I listen with
an open ear and an open mind, and that's that's
where investigators need to be. They need to have open minds,
open open years. Do I fall into the whole spectrum
of the interdimensional? Is it possible? I'll say it may

(28:56):
be possible, but I always try to look for a
reasonable answer on the flip side of that, you know,
is there something else that could explain that? So you know,
I I tried, tried with this whole shuffle thing to

(29:18):
figure that out, and I still to this day still
haven't figured out what exactly that was. And that was
in twenty eighteen that that happened. A few days later,
I went from where the creature went, came out of
the woods doing and did the shuffle across the road.

(29:42):
There was a path going in and I knew where
the path went because on the road that I was
working on, there's you know, like a it's kind of
like a gravel pit for one of the companies that's
down there. It's not a lot of gravel they store,
They truck in and store their gravel there. It's mostly shale.

(30:06):
I went around to the backside of that pit a
few days later, and I was able to find a
fourteen inch print in the hard pack on the backside
of that pit. You know, the bucket loaders had been
running it over, and you know, this stuff was so

(30:28):
hard I couldn't even there was rocks that were embedded
it that I couldn't pull the rocks out of the ground.
But I did find that there was piles of rock
on that backside, you know, literally, you know, rocks probably
a little bit smaller than a baseball, but thinner that

(30:51):
had been packed in the gravel that were removed and stacked.
They were removed right out of the pack to gravel,
and they were stacked. And I kind of looked at
that and I found the fourteen inch print and I
just kind of followed the trail off the backside of that,

(31:14):
and it came out exactly where I thought it, right
on the main road. So you know, there are things
that are hard to explain, but you look for the
evidence further into it, and you find the evidence. Another
one of my encounters happened during a deer season. I

(31:38):
don't remember the year right off the top of my
head right now. I think it was two thousand and fifteen.
My father was still a lied live It was the
year before he passed. It was November. I had earlier

(32:00):
and you know, the two thousands, my father had difficulty walking,
and we had a piece of land we were hunting
on in Cindy, Maine, and I built him a four
by four seven foot tall, fully enclosed hunting shack with

(32:23):
stairs that we put in one of his favorite places
to hunt on this property. And you know, somewhere right
around twenty fourteen, he wasn't able to hunt anymore. So
I had moved it over onto a small field where
we came from the farmhouse pasture down through a little

(32:46):
small tote road and you came to a small field,
and then small field had a brook separating it from
a very large field, and it was always deer in
the field, both the fields, and I just I brung
the blind out there to the edge of that field,

(33:07):
the little field, and I was up in my blind.
It's about seventy five eighty yards from the corner of
the field where I had to blind set up. I'd
reset up that blind and I was up in the blind,
and it was a quiet morning, and I didn't hear

(33:31):
a whole lot of activity. I didn't see the turkeys
that I normally see. I didn't see the squirrels running around.
You know, all the things were just odd that morning.
You know, the silence, it was all there, all the
indicators were there. You know. I would head on a swivel,
looking around, looking around, looking around. Nothing. About eleven thirty,

(33:55):
I decided that I was gonna climb down, go to
the local store that my father used to and get
myself launch, go up and see my dad. And you know,
it was crazy. I you know, I scanned the fields,
I scanned everything, and there was nothing. No deer, no nothing.

(34:23):
So at the time, I didn't put the I hadn't
put the stairs back in on the blind. I had
just brung aluminum ladder down. I was using that to
get in and out of the blind. So I, you know,
opened the back door and I pulled the ladder over
and I had it set and I started to climb down.

(34:44):
All as I'm climbing down, I'm getting to the point
where I can just see under the blind and I'm
hearing what sounds like a clacking noise like rocks being
hit together, and I'm trying to pay attention. I looked
down through the rungs of the ladder and under the
bottom of the stand I can see something very large,

(35:09):
very black, like right at the where the road goes
across the stream between the two fields. It's it's like
right there, and I can see the arms motioning outwards
and coming back in. Every time it would come back in,
it was a clacking noise. I'm like what, I'm like,

(35:32):
are you serious? You're in my hunting area too, you know,
that was my thought. I'm like, holy cow. So I'm like,
I got to try to get a better picture of this.
So I'm gonna climb back into the line because you know,
of course the door's open. I get the ladder right
in the door and it's the doors being held open.
So I just kind of move up the ladder real slowly.

(35:55):
And you know, before I did, I I kind of
took the binoculars I had hanging on my neck, and
I looked real quick, and I could see, you know,
it was hilly, big in size. And I'm here into clocking.
As I'm going up into the blind. As I get
up in there to be able to look out the
windows and be able to sit and get a better

(36:15):
view of this thing, I look down and all I
see is the black moving into the woods, and I'm like, really,
not enough time to get a picture. What do you
do at that point? You know, I'm just in like, okay,

(36:41):
seventy five yards. I know what that is. I know
what the rock clocking is. They do that. You know,
it's something that you know, many researchers have, you know,
said they've heard before. Some have said they've seen one
doing that, the clocking of the rock. Witnesses have said it.
You know, it's it's crazy that, you know, I all

(37:06):
these different things that you know, I've read about research.
It's crazy to see him coming to cruation in front
of you. So I go out of the stand after

(37:27):
about fifteen twenty minutes, and I walked down to the
brook and sure enough there's two flat rocks that had
been in the stream bread that they're wet and they're
laying on top of there's the farmer had placed three

(37:48):
or four granite stones that were you know, like four
or five feet long and probably about you know, i'd
say good eighteen inches wide down to be a to
traverse across from the small field over to the big
field to farm his hay out of it. Instead of

(38:09):
traveling up and around on the roads and on those
large stones. Here's these small stones that came out of
the brook the flat. They're still wet. They're just laying
on top of this thing. These these the granite stones,
and I'm just all right, you know. I looked at

(38:32):
the stones. I looked them all over to see if
I could find any kind of hair or anything that
I could gather off them, and unfortunately, I wasn't able
to find any good DNA evidence out of it. So
you know, that's where it stayed. You know, I went
out for lunch, I came back when I came back
that afternoon, about two hours later to sit for the evening. Yeah,

(38:58):
there was all kinds of a you know, squirrels, birds
were around, the mice were running around underneath the stand,
and you know it was I had the activity back,
but all morning I had had zip zero none, you know,
no noises, no squirrels, no birds, no chirping, no, you know, nothing,

(39:20):
nothing was moving. So you know, that's another one of
those situations where you run into the indicating factors that
there's something there. I was out early in my career.
I used to deliver beer and wine and products like

(39:44):
coffee around the different places, and I had gone out
to the Fryburg area and I delivered over into what
they call Brownville, just outside of Fryburg, and I'm delivered
to a store and I had to go from there

(40:05):
cross country back over towards Naples to hit another store.
And it was one sixty. I'm coming down the road.
You get to an area that's quite forested, you know.
The house is deplete in between, you know, probably about

(40:27):
a two mile stretch, and before that you only got
like one house every mile, you know, and so there's
a lot of space for things to roam around over there.
And I driving the truck again an almost speed forty
five on a back road and I come around a

(40:49):
corner and as you come around the corner, there's a
large brook with a bridge that you cross on Route
one sixty. And as i'm i come around the corner
into the straightaway before that, I looked down the road
and I see something on two legs walk across the road,

(41:11):
you know, and it was huge. It was tall, brown
in color this time, and just the arm swing was there.
I was literally probably about one hundred and seventy five
yards away at that time, so I had a really
good view of this thing across the road. And it

(41:34):
went into a logging road on the opposite side, and
of course I'm doing forty five, so I said, well,
I'll be able to see down that logging road. And
as they got towards the logging road that goes in,
I looked down the road and there was nothing in
the road. I mean, this is literally, you know, maybe
ten seconds from where I spotted it crossing the road

(41:56):
to going into that logging road, and it's just gone.
There's no person, there's no nothing. You know, I'm looking
down the road at this thing. I could see that
it had massive arms, with the arms wing, the legs
were massive, it was browning color, you know. The head

(42:19):
was just huge, with no there was no apparent neck.
Head was fairly conical, so I knew what it was.
You know, I just kind of said, okay, this is
you know, another one. I wrote it down real quick
at the next stop I was at, which was probably

(42:40):
about ten minutes later, and I you know, I still
have those notes, and I keep them where I can
find them so I can reference them. I haven't over
the years shared a lot of these things with folks,
but you know, as we grow with the Bigfoot found,

(43:01):
I have tried to reveal the things that I have
seen and you know, give other investigators my thoughts on
all these things. You know, when I talked the first time,
when I was telling the stories the first time in

(43:21):
the area that I got chased out of the woods,
you know, I mentioned that there was a hunter that
I had seen that he saw what he thought was
a very big person in a gilly suit, not carrying
any hunting equipment come out of the woods onto the

(43:42):
field and travel down along the edge of the field
and then go into the woods where my tree stand was.
I mean, he just kind of wrote that off. And
that's what I would expect out of every normal individual
who isn't into the big foot field to you know,
do you're going to find an idea and you can

(44:02):
see something, You're going to find an idea. While it
could have been this, or it could have been that,
because your mind is not set as a human to
process something like that. You know, people that will probably
call you crazy if you say you see something like that.

(44:24):
They'll probably tell you you're just imagining things. Oh, it's a
bear or it's a moose. You know, I'm sorry. Moose
don't walk on two feet. Bears can walk on two feet,
but you know it. The whole Bigfoot phenomenon, the things

(44:47):
that you write off as a human being is going
to be every time you go out in the woods
if you see something like that, oh it's just a bear,
you know it's or it's just a moose. You know,
I saw it real quick. You can come up with
all kinds of excuses, but you know, more than likely,

(45:09):
if you've seen one in the past, you're probably going
to see another one. It's just your sixth sense. When
you see something like that, your sixth sense kicks in
and it mocks it in the back of your memory.
So when something like that happens again, it picks it

(45:29):
up almost right off. And most people, when they write
it off, and they continue to write it off, it
becomes a normal for them. They go, well, yeah, I
saw another bear, or I saw another moves, you know
something of that nature. Now. You know, when you're traveling
down a road in the middle of nowhere at night,

(45:49):
which has happened before to a lot of witnesses, you
come around the corner, you're in a long straightaway where
you know you've got no houses or round stud Mill
Road out of Milford, Maine is a used to be Costigan.

(46:10):
They had a paper mill in it and they had
woods roads that ran from the Costigan mill all the
way up to the Woodland mill. This is it's called
the stud Mill Road, and they also have the Saint
Regis Road as well. These are roads that there's literally

(46:33):
virtually no real building on it except for you know,
maybe every twenty miles you might come across a building
where somebody's put a camp out there. You know, the
stud Mill Road used to have a training facility for
the military out there. It's now a boys camp for

(47:00):
wildlife survival. You have you know that out there. But
otherwise than that, you're running across a road that's literally
dirt bridges that cross streams that are one lane, typically
made out of iron, you know, some iron, a couple

(47:22):
of iron girders, and then they put the big, you know,
bigger than railroad ties type material over the top of it,
and then some planks. It's just so the trucks can
run back and falk down these roads. They're solid, solid,
solid roads that get maintained every spring for the trucks

(47:43):
to run on, and they're run all went along by
only the paper company. But during the summer. The paper
company allows the general public to run on the roads,
and you can run sixty five on this gravel road

(48:03):
and not have a problem.

Speaker 5 (48:04):
You know, it's really smooth.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
So you go out there. I mean, I've had times
I was running down that road when I first started
running at it. Here i am, I'm cruising down the
road sixty five miles an hour. You know, you see
something real quick, and you know I had something cross
the road on one day, you know, running across that

(48:29):
road trying to get out to a location where we
were doing an investigation, and I'm just running. I'm alone,
so I'm running, you know, sixty five. I'm trying to
get there and get back home all in one day.
And going across down the road and I'm thirty five

(48:49):
miles into this road. There's literally only you know, more
logging roads going off to the left and off to
the right of this road which runs east to west.
You know, so the road, the logging roads are going
off to the south and then off and you know,
there's several lakes up there that they get some camps on.

(49:11):
But here I am out in the middle of nowhere,
cruising down the road. I've been out to the place
that I was looking at, went out to do an
investigation check on and I'm coming back. I'm coming, you know,
I'm like thirty five miles from you know, getting to

(49:31):
the end of this road where I'm going to be
back in civilization. All of a sudden, there's you know,
it's starting to get docked. So I'm trying to get
out of there, because you know, I don't want to
run into a moose out there in the middle of nowhere,
because there's virtually no signal here. I am cruising down
the road and all of a sudden, I look and

(49:51):
there's something steps up out of the ditch, crosses the road,
down into the ditch on the other side, and off
into the woods, and it's on two legs. I'm probably
about one hundred yards when it crossed the road, you know,
probably about one hundred yards away from it in my
vehicle traveling sixty five and you know, it doesn't take

(50:12):
long at sixty five miles an hour to get that
hundred yards. And by the time I got to where
it went, you know, I was already on the brakes
and I'm looking to the left and nothing nothing, there's nothing.
I'm looking in both directions now, and I'm at a
dead stop and I'm looking in both directions and I
can see nothing. You know, it's dark enough, I can't

(50:35):
see into the woods. Whatever it was, it crossed right
there in front of me, and I, you know, I
knew I had a good idea from.

Speaker 6 (50:47):
The location that I was, the speed I was traveling,
you know, all that, the size of this thing when
it stepped out, that it was on two legs, I
knew there was something there.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
So, you know, of course in my mind, I go
back to roughly about the same location I was with
and then the pickup when it came out across, and
you know, I had I got to pick up with
a six inch lift kit on it. Literally my rocket

(51:29):
panels on my truck when I walk up to it
were you know, right at my waist, so you know,
three feet up. And I went back trying to just
find the pickup truck around, went back to that location.
I looked down the road, using trees and other things
to reference on the side of the road direction that

(51:54):
I was facing. You know, was it a downhill and uphill?
It was a downhill. I'm looking down at this thing,
and I'm looking out of my pickup truck windshield, and
I'm looking at the size of the trees on the
side of the road, the small brush that's on the
side of the road. I'm able to determine that, you know,
that brush. As I go back down there, I use

(52:17):
that brush and I said, okay, that brush is you know,
heap feet tall. In the top of the head was
higher than that brush, you know, so I'm thinking nine
feet tall, and I just I just okay, you know,
I want to get off of this road before it

(52:38):
gets too dark. I looked around with a light to
try to find footprints, but all high packed gravel like that,
it was just it was impossible to find anything. I
looked in the travel corridor, you know, it looked like
a game trail. I started down the game trail, probably

(52:59):
about fifteen feet looking at the brush with my flashlight
alongside the road. You know. Of course, I had my
backpack with me, which carries all my stuff. You know.
I got flagging tape, I got flags, I got you know,
my plaster of Paris. I've got my tweezes, my sterilized gloves,

(53:19):
my containers to put any evidence I got. I got it.
I got it all with me, you know, over there
with the flashlight, just looking. I got the headlamp on,
I got the flashlight on, I'm looking at the brush.
I can't find a darn thing. And you know, I
just I spent probably about fifteen twenty minutes looking and nothing,

(53:43):
and I just got back into the truck and left.
You know, that's one of those things. And probably about
a month and a half later, two months maybe it
was in December of that year, I believe, and I
get a message from a guy who travels that road

(54:08):
all the time and he works for a paper company.
He asked if there was any bigfoot sightings up there,
and I said, yeah, any I said, you know, I
had one happen, and I gave him the location. He says, well,
that's about a mile and a half from the twenty
one hundred road that I went by today, and I

(54:31):
could see footprints and a straight line going up to
twenty one hundred road, which isn't.

Speaker 5 (54:38):
Flowed in the wine.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
He says there was footprints that were probably about four
feet apart in a straight line going up the road,
which is an uphill travel. He says that you know,
I can't I wouldn't even go up there with my
pickup in four wheel drive because the road's just treacherous.
And he says it came out of you know, the

(55:02):
tracks came out of the opposite side of the road
going up the twenty one hundred road, and he says,
I just that's you know, I follow your page and
I forget I'd ask a question about up here because
I seen that you guys had an outing up here before,
and I said, yep, we usually typically do it every year.

(55:23):
He said, well, I'll keep my eyes out and if
I see anything else, I'll let you know. And you know,
I contacted him probably about a year later, you know,
I found the post back on our page and I
private message doing and he says, no, no, I haven't
had anything else. But you know, I've seen some more

(55:45):
tracks off of one of the side roads up there.
I think he said it was the twenty six hundred road.
He had gone up and he was working his way along.
I broke up there and he saw something up there,
you know, some tracks up there. And twenty six hundred
road is literally almost two hundred yards three hundred yards

(56:10):
from the place that we have investigated up there before.
At a camp. I don't know if I told you
about that camp yet, small Trappers cabin and we got
called to go up by somebody that was on our group,

(56:31):
and we went up there, and this was another one
of those situations where you know, I knew from what
I had been told there was activity. The guy who
owned the place had bought it from a ranger who
owned it for twenty years, never sold, never went back
to the place after going up there once, and he

(56:53):
sold it twenty years later to this guy. This guy
goes up and he goes hunting, and you know, of
course phraises a ruckus because he's a beer drinker and
he intoxicated, and you know, figured he can shoot off
his gun at all hours of the day and night.
And you know, Cavin got attacked. Well, when we went
up there and we did the investigation, we had a

(57:18):
student group doing journalism and type stuff, you know, camera
work and audio work, and you know, they had to
do a documentary type thing and they had reached out
to us all while we were up there. We found tracks,

(57:39):
you know, we found eighteen inch, sixteen inch and seventeen
inch tracks. I think it was can't really, I don't
have the notes in front of me, so I can't
remember exactly. I know sixteen inch and eighteen inch. We
did have an I think we cast a seventeen inch

(58:02):
at the same time while we're up there. But we
were up there and the girl that was doing the
video side of it, she had a camera, a regular
motion camera and you know, a regular digital camera with

(58:24):
you know, all the big lenses and stuff. And we
were down at the location. I explained to her the
whole situation where the guy had gone down the second
time to get some cleaning water, and you know, he
found an eight penach footprint down there. And we're down

(58:45):
talking about this, and there's like a little stream that
goes out and around this place, and I'm looking across
the stream and the bog and I can see something
on the hillside, probably about two hundred yards away, And
the girl was sitting there with me, and I'm looking across,

(59:06):
and you know, there's some you know, this is a large,
heavily forested area with old growth trees, and I'm looking
along across and I can see, well, you know, it
looks to be like a person or a human head
peeking out from around a tree on the other side

(59:29):
of this swampy area, and she was sitting there with
me and she took a camera. I told her about it.
I can see something over there and it's moving. She
took a couple of photos with a high resolution lens,

(59:51):
but it was in the forested area on the other side.
It was. She wasn't picking up she was picking up
the edge of the woods, but she couldn't see in
the darkness on the other side. But with her own
eyes she could. She said, I can see something in it.
She says, it's almost like it just comes out and

(01:00:15):
looks at you. And she says it stays there, and
then I look away and I'll look back and she
says it's not there. So there's something over there. And
I'm like, well, you know what, what are we here for?
And she was there when we cast the tracks. You know,
we cast the sixteen inch, we cast the eighteen inch,

(01:00:35):
the seventeen inch we were not able to cast, and yes,
it was a seventeen inch. I just had to think
it through because I'm getting I'm getting older in my years,
and you know, I get to process my brain to
think about each different situation. But here it is, you know,

(01:00:58):
I'm with this girl. We're doing the interview, and you know,
talking about the tracks that were found at this water's edge,
looking across, you know, maybe a two hundred yard space
into the woods. It's it's plenty sunny enough, we can
see into the woods. But when I would take a
picture with my camera or she would take a picture

(01:01:21):
with her camera, we were getting the darkness that was
inside the woods. We weren't getting You couldn't get the
pixelation just right to get a picture of what it was.
But I knew what it was. This is the same
area that we've you know, we've had encounters there over

(01:01:44):
the years. I was in that same area camping probably
two years later. We did an expedition over there, and
I was on the stud Mill Road and I a
stream that runs between the two lakes on each side

(01:02:05):
of that road, and where it crosses underneath the road
is a gravel bar. And I went over and I
looked at the gravel bar. One day, it looked like
there was something down there, and I walked down and
sure enough, there was an eighteen inch print right in

(01:02:27):
the gravel bar. It was under probably about an inch
of water, but the print was very visible. I did
take a photo of it, did a measurement with a
measuring tape just to get it and get the size.

(01:02:49):
And you know, we had a good expedition that time
around that same exact location off the stud Mill Road.
We went up. We did a walk with an overnight
group and during the walk, we chose a different road
in the camp that was that had been attacked because

(01:03:13):
some of the people were uncomfortable going down there at night.
So we chose a road on the other side of
the brook between the two lakes, and we went down
that road until there was a large blockage, and you know,
I had the feeling at that point that there was
something there. And the other co founder of the Bigfoot Foundation,
she had the same feeling. She knew from the encounters

(01:03:39):
that she had had over the years. She would always
get a hair on the back of your neck, strange
gut feeling there was something there.

Speaker 5 (01:03:54):
You know, And you know, we took all the.

Speaker 1 (01:03:57):
Precautions we needed to because we're out with a group
in we went in literally, i mean down this road
until there was two you know, two trees right in
a row that will push from the opposite sides of

(01:04:19):
the road. These are trees that are probably eighteen inches
in diameter, pushed right over roots in the air. You know,
usually if you get a windstorm, the windstorm is going
to blow the trees in the same direction, not in
opposite directions, and it was across the road. These were

(01:04:39):
blown in from across the road in two different directions.
And then there was a probably about an eight or
nine inch tree off of the left side of the
road going down in probably about twenty five feet further

(01:05:02):
down the road that was pushed at an angle up
the road and onto those other two. When we got
to that location, people didn't want to go any further.
So what we did was we backed out because both
Janelle and I myself had had a feeling and we

(01:05:24):
knew we were being watched. We had heard something walking
alongside us, so we knew that every time we stopped,
it would stop. When we walked, we could hear it,
you know, walking bipedal type steps, probably about thirty odds

(01:05:48):
into the woods maximum, right alongside us, following us. So
we kind of took the trees knocked over as a
sign of don't go here, especially in the dark, you know.
Leading a group of people around at a good portion
of them, you know, on experience in the woods. So

(01:06:09):
we played it safe. We went back out to the
main road and we discussed for the people. We told
them what was going on, and they said, well, let's
go down that camp road that got attacked, and we'll
only go as far as the lake, not down all
the way because you know, it's still kind of scary.

(01:06:30):
So we did that, came back out, went to camp,
you know, discussed what had happened during the day, what
had happened during the night, and then we all went
to bed. Well, next morning we had breakfast and some
of the people said, well, we want to try to
go buy that piece on the other side. And I

(01:06:53):
had a knee that needed needed to be worked on,
needed to be a report. It was swollen up like
a like a softball, and I could hardly walk because
of all the walking I'd done the day before. So
one of our other members took them down the road,

(01:07:14):
and of course they they were down that road and
they went around the tree or trees i should say,
and they got on the other side and the path
narrowed up and narrowed up and narrowed up, and they
were in a pathway that was. You know, if you
put two normal people side by side, it was it

(01:07:36):
was super tight. You know, you're rubbing shoulders, so pretty
much you would pass by each other if you wanted
to see something, and you know, that's pretty much how
you go by each other. And they were right there
and they found an eighteen inch footprint in the trail,
and you know, it is one of those situations, Oh

(01:08:01):
I see it, everybody else wants to see it, you know.
And of course one of the guys that was out
on the outing, he was he had a video camera
with him and he was videoing it all and he's
talking away and he's telling everybody, step on up, come
check this out. We got you know, the pathway on

(01:08:23):
that they were in it was literally brush, you know,
from forest floor up to about eight and a half
nine feet and you know, he's videoing, you know, this footprint,
and people walking up and taking a look at this,
saying and this print. They're like they're all in amazement,

(01:08:47):
you know, you hear them all. They're all talking. And
of course when the gentleman steps back with the camera,
he pans across the brush as he's stepping backwards to
get by another guy and you know, he goes he's
holding the camera down, you know, not taking any video,

(01:09:07):
but the video is still running, and he scans across
this guy's brush, this guy's stomach area, as he's stepping backwards,
and then he comes back up and he's a videoing
more people walking up. It wasn't until he got home
later that day that I suddenly got a message from him, Dude,

(01:09:28):
you got to see the thing I just posted on
the page. So he posted on the page his video
and as still shot of the video, and you literally
look and you know, as he's stepping backwards and the
camera goes across the guy's stomach area, you can see

(01:09:53):
an area in the brush literally two feet off of
the other gentleman, where all the greenery has been pulled aside.
And you've got two eyes and you can see them
ouse with teeth. It's staring out at you. You can

(01:10:14):
make out the nose pulled it up on a large
screen and bang, I can see that. You can see
the hands, the fingers just pulling the brush of hoot,
and this thing is just looking looking right out at
them and you know, literally two feet away from them,
and they didn't even know it was there. So, you know,

(01:10:35):
these encounters that I've had, I've been very fortunate. You know,
I can go on and on all day giving more
and more encounters that I've had. Just going down the
you know, hunting, going down a road, dirt road in

(01:10:55):
the middle of nowhere. You know, I'm traveling, hunting and
you see something up ahead. It crosses the road in
front of you, and you're thinking another hunter or you know,
an animal of some type. And you get down there
and you realize that, you know, what I saw was

(01:11:19):
you know, I'm six foot and I'm standing here and
I'm looking at the area around me, and I know
what I saw was like the top of the head
was up here were that branch is two feet above me?
You know. So you hunting, especially hunting out where I

(01:11:42):
was when I was a kid, you know, Unity plantation.
We traveled through some woods, we traveled through some old
logging roads. We were constantly you know, to get out
to our tree stand. It's two and a half miles
out there, you know, and you'd be walking and you
you know, of course you're looking for deer and you

(01:12:04):
look down the road. You know, you're scanning from one
side of the road to the other. You look down
the road and you come across and you see something
real quick walk across the road. Well, you know, was
that a deer? Was that? And I go back and
I think about some of those times, and you know
what I saw across the road? What what did I

(01:12:29):
really see? Go back and think about it, and I go, yeah, no,
that was on two legs. That wasn't just a normal
deer or a bear or a moose. You know, there
was there was There was no mistaking what it was,

(01:12:57):
you know, And I a lot of the encounter that
I have had where I physically see them, you know,
it's their surprising counters, you know. There they really are
coming around and going on the road. You know, it's
crossing the road. It's not expecting you to come. They

(01:13:19):
can probably hear the vehicle, but thinks it has enough
time to cross, and you know, just coming out of
out of a ditch and comes out of the ditch
and bingo bango. Oh, I'm in it's view, you know,
but you know, you're you're out there. A lot of
the folks that listen to this go out in the

(01:13:40):
woods and they you know, they they listen for things
that researchers like myself and others, you know, put out
listen to the information that people have had encounters and
share their encounters, absolutely talk about and they hear it.
You know, they talk about it on a podcast like this,

(01:14:03):
and you know they pay attention, and you know they
use it for when they're out in the woods. I
had a response at Blue Bradberry Mountain State Park back
twenty twenty two or twenty twenty three, did an overnight

(01:14:24):
at Bradbury Mountain. We did a walk that night. We'd
taken a daytime walk. We'd walked up the mountain to
see the two trails that we were planning on using.
One was a steep access trail to go up and

(01:14:45):
the other one was a long, sweeping graded trail that
went out and around the top. And we planned on
two groups, one going straight up, one going out and around.
I took a group out up and up straight up
the top, and Janelle took the group around the other

(01:15:07):
side and we went up on top. And when I
got up on top, one of the people that was
with me said, you know, hey, why don't why don't
you try doing a call I've never heard a call back,
but before because I heard you do pretty good calls.

(01:15:28):
I said, okay, I'll do one. I did one, and
it was like, almost as immediately as I stopped, from
probably about two miles away in the valley on the
back side, a call started up just as loud as mine.
It was like it was standing right next to us,

(01:15:49):
but it was coming out of the valley and it
came back and the kid was all excited. He was
hopping up and down. I had two people me that
didn't believe in Bigfoot, and the kid's mother was there
as well, and her jaw was just dropping on the ground.
I mean, it was kind of funny. About six months

(01:16:14):
later we went back. That was in the spring of
the year, and we went back in the fall of
the year for a second round at Bradbury Mountain State Park,
and we went on the opposite side of the road
because after getting that call back that night, we came
back to the group campsite and all night long we

(01:16:39):
had activity around us. Things were being thrown at tense
there was tree knocking around us. You know, it's all
indicated that, you know, as a bigfoot researcher, you believe
could be possible.

Speaker 5 (01:16:56):
Bigfoot activity and nobody's been able to.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
Actually confirm any of this stuff. And until somebody is
able to befriend some of these things and actually be
able to sit down and study them as a family
group or as an individual, you know, we don't know.
We don't know exactly what they are. We don't know

(01:17:22):
the exact calls, we know the ideas for calls that
they produce, and you know the size of the footprints,
you know the noises they potentially make, and everything is
all a giant assumption until science can actually physically observe
these creatures. And you know, we went back in the

(01:17:46):
fall of that year and we went on the other
side where the camping area and the trails out that way,
and we were going down the main trail before hitting
a loop trail that goes up and around, and we

(01:18:06):
had walked it during the day and decided that that
would be a good thing, a good trail to go on,
and we'd start out just as the sun was going down,
and you know, so here we are, we're hiking up
the trail, the sun's still out, it's starting to go down.
We wanted to get in as far as we could

(01:18:27):
before it got dark, and we're going down the trail,
and I happened to look off through the woods on
the right side of the trail, and you know, the
sunlight shining through the trees, and IKE see something go

(01:18:53):
from right to left across an opening and it blocks
out the entire light on the trail. And now I
had just done a whoop call, and you know, I
was expecting some kind of activity because we'd done a
couple of tree knocks on the way in, and we'd
done a couple of whoop calls, and you know, of

(01:19:15):
course I see this thing go across and I said,
whoa anybody else see that? Somebody said I saw something.
I couldn't tell what it was. I said, well, you know,
what did you see? And they were like, well, it
looked like a person off in the distance there that

(01:19:37):
kind across the pathway that goes down through here. They said,
you know, I watched them go across and it blocked
out the sunlight that was there that was shining through,
and you know, they disappeared into the woods on the
other side. I said, did it look like an animal?

(01:19:57):
And Paul legs, no, it was on two Okay, how tall?
I don't know, So you know, of course, that's exactly
what I had seen. And I stepped backwards, and I
was looking down the trail, down that pathway through the
woods at the same time, and all of a sudden,

(01:20:25):
from like out of nowhere, it went in the opposite
direction of what we saw before, and it balked out
all the sunlight. And I said, I said, another person
saw it at that point, and I said, okay, what'd
you see? And they explained the same thing to me,
and I said, I'm going to walk down there. You

(01:20:46):
guys stay up here. I'm going to try to walk
and you direct me and i'll stop. And you know,
I walked down and of course I got down there
and they directed me and they said it was much
taller than you. It was like right in there and
it was much taller than you. And I said, okay,
so I put a piece of black and go back

(01:21:08):
and look from the road and you know, from the trail,
and it was the same location where I was seen. So,
you know, that's another encounter that just kind of it
falls into the curiosity side on. You know, whatever this

(01:21:30):
bigfoot creature is, I mean, I believe it's it's an
animal that's been unidentified for years, and you know it's
been on cave drawings. I've developed almost like a sixth
sense that you know, I have that I pick up.

(01:21:55):
I don't know if it's if they emit, vibrations or
what it is that I just kind of when I'm
out in the woods, I know if I'm being watched.
I know.

Speaker 5 (01:22:09):
I can feel one.

Speaker 1 (01:22:12):
I'm being stocked, you know, I have that. I use
my curs, my eyes, my sense to get everything. And
that's that's just where I am. I'm I'm I'm there.
I'm the guy who's thrust into this Bigfoot world and

(01:22:35):
I try to share it with everybody like you guys.
Main Bigfoot Foundation is a full nonprofit here in the
state of Maine. We do overnight outings in the summertime
at no cost anybody. You know, you bring a tent,
we typically bring the food. You come out, We teach

(01:22:56):
you what's going on. We investigate sightings across to Maine,
and we also hold a festival every year Stratton, Usta, Maine.
This year is going to be having us with our
second annual Bigfoot Festival, and that'll be on the dates

(01:23:17):
of October seventeenth and eighteenth. We got three very good
speakers coming up to do the presentations. We have Steve
Calls out of New York, Mike Familiant who is out
of New Jersey but travels all around the US. And

(01:23:41):
we have Jason Kenzie who is a videographer who does
documentary type films out of British Columbia and he's actually
going to be doing a daytime walk with group a
group and he'll be filming for his next documentary in

(01:24:05):
during that walk. So come on up and join us.
Check us out on Facebook Mean Bigfoot Foundation, Inc. It's
a private group, so you'll have to join, but we
try to share what we can on there. A lot
of us work full time jobs, so you know, we

(01:24:26):
don't we don't have a lot of time to play
on there, but you know, we allow people to post
and you know, put different things out there. And when
we go out on an outing, we typically take pictures
and you know, post them all on that page. And
if somebody has questions or anything to ask us about activity,

(01:24:48):
they write it on the page and we provide them
with SAMNSUS. And I'd like to thank all of you
listeners out there for listening to my encounters and my
stories and uh my advice to you, don't you folks,
I mean, if you're listening to this podcast here, absolutely

(01:25:11):
listening to a podcast is devoted to, you know, getting
you the stories and getting you information at the same time.
They do a wonderful job. And I appreciate being allowed
to come on and share my thoughts and my encounters

(01:25:32):
and you all have a good day.

Speaker 7 (01:25:37):
